Sinister: "i'm addicted to cold turkey"
by Kirsten Kenyon 29 Nov '01

29 Nov '01

it seems that every time i resolve to spend a quiet night inside, someone calls. i shouldn't say i mind, because i don't really. it was just raining and cold and i didn't feel like driving....well. it was a pleasant enough evening, anyway, sitting in a shiny red diner full of giant candy canes, flashing stars and dangling santa heads that looked quite rosy and intoxicated. sitting with the red-haired violinist, with our backs against the cold window and our legs stretched over the vinyl seats. she talked about the southwest, and about warm evenings spent on the roof of a car in the middle of nowhere, staring at the desert. about the tranquility of horizontal lines. i said i'd like to go sometime. that to sit that way, slightly denting the top of a car, leaning back on your hands and staring so long that you almost can see the curvature of the earth...it could only be the sort of moment when it feels as though everything is just as it should be. a few of us went to colorado just after we graduated from high school. we were doing some volunteer work in a tiny town, and had to take a plane with one row of seats to an airport with one terminal, and also had to spend one day without our baggage because it was stuck in colorado springs. it was really hot there. my skin turned very brown, and my hair turned very blonde. we climbed a mountain and ate sandwiches at the top, and i slipped on some snow and skinned my knees. a couple of people got ill from overindulging at the russell stover factory outlet. melissa and i shared a bed, and every night we would just lie there and laugh and laugh until we were exhausted, and then we'd fall asleep. i don't think we were really laughing at anything. or we were each laughing at the other's laugh. we were staying with an elderly couple...dick and helen. they were sweet, and apparently didn't mind the stifled snorts and giggles escaping our room in the wee hours of the morning. on the last night, knowing we had to get up at the crack of dawn to take the scary tiny plane to denver, we stayed up all night on top of a hill overlooking the town. the town was nothing. looking down, there was a cemetery, and there were a few sad-looking bars and a gas station. looking up, there were more stars than i'd ever seen in my life. and straight ahead....mountains. a few people cried that night, and there was an awful lot of hugging, and everyone got angry at me because i wasn't feeling sentimental and i kept saying creepy things about giants. i don't know why. it just seemed like a good time to talk about...giants. yeah. anyway...that was one of those nights, i think. this was much longer than it needed to be. goodnight kirsten Care2 make the world greener! http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Christmas depression...
by arlequim＠osite.com.br 29 Nov '01

29 Nov '01

As Daniela has said a few messages ago, Christmas depression is real. It's not an impression of hers, I guess... Because I feel it too. Every year, as november comes, and people starts to scream we should anticipate our christmas' shopping, it seems like I have been stroken in my stomach. But there are lot of theories about why so many people feel bad as the year ends. For me, it's always as many things have been left unsaid or undone. I start to remember: how beautiful was that girl I was dating!... she was really fine... but I missed the chance to tell her how much I liked her. And then the year ends. Time's over! When the year ends, forget it!! Think of something new, wait until the next wave, and so on... And what about that plans of taking theatre lessons? and going back to music school? And calling that friend of mine, that propably has already commited suicide? Oh, no, I didn't do any of these things... and the year ends. It's like everything we planned, everything we hoped was going to come true just turns to dust... dust downside in the ampullete. I have a friend who suffers with christmas depression for different reasons: he has lost his friend in a car accident. His mother is dead too, consumed by cancer. Tough, isn't it? It can happen to any of us... but the problem is: Christmas makes all the bad things that happens to us gather living and fresh colours. When everyone MUST be happy, wouldn't it be the perfect time for knowing why your life just CAN'T be happy? That's another point... Here in Brazil it's close do summer now... it's quite stupid putting a pinus tree in the living room and imagining a Santa with that warm and cozy clothes, while we're living days of 40ºC in the shade. Never understood that! ! We should should start trying adaptations to a "tropical Christmas", with typical trees, fruits and a Santa wearing a softer outfit. But that's a project for the future... There's no cold, no snow around... I envy people who has at least a little snow. At least their traditions are coherent. At last, my Christmas depression probably comes from a simpler cause: I am aquarian. So, as an aquarian, my birthday is at the beginning of the year. January! So, every january I know I am getting older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death ~laughs~. This year I will be 24 years old. I know that a few years further I will be missing these days as my best, but, now, I feel like a lot of years have passed behind me! Wow, a lot!! And where have they gone to? What was I thinking when I let them go?!?! So, this is what I have to say about my private Christmas depression. Daniela: you're not alone! At least, not in Brazil... And let's sing along: "Did you ever see the faces of the children, they get so excited Waking up on Christmas morning, hours before the winter sun's ignited They believe in dreams and all they mean including heaven's generosity Peeping round the doors to see what parcels are for free in curiosity And Tommy doesn't know what they it is Doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is How can he be saved >From the eternal grave?!?" Does anybody know that?

Sinister: I built you to sweep, not question my plans
by Matthew Henderson 29 Nov '01

29 Nov '01

hello again! So soon again you ask? Well i'm bored. What a wonderful day! I bought the new single, and, well, I am no person to give an objective opinion on belle and sebastian, so I won't. (was that runonsentence?) However, I will commend the band on their sneaky marxist preaching methods. (the red devils) The owner of my favourite record shop sort of offered me a job there. How great would that be? Being snooty to everyone who has musical taste other than my own sounds like fun. Not to mention forcing my taste onto everyone in the store. What a dream job. Its not quite DJ, but unless it's a country station, a top 40 station, or a metallica station (sorry to the brazilian listee who loves them), I wouldn't have any place DJ'ing in mobile. Anyhow, somebody asked somebody else about the VU Quinte Tapes, so I feel it is my duty to butt in on this conversation and say they're great! The sound quality is slightly weak, but what do you expect from a 30 year old audience recording? And who though a 38 minute Sister Ray could be so interesting? Great stuff. What exactly is a tea towel? -Matt _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: And we'll fill in the missing colors In each other's paint-by-number dreams
by David Moore 28 Nov '01

28 Nov '01

Hi there! (Pretending nothing happened this morning. Thanks to Telegamr Asm for suggesting the Gillanders defence.) I must be losing my objectivity where Belle And Sebastian are concerned, as I can't understand why anyone wouldn't like the new single. Its GRATE, with something for everyone: a monster production very personal seeming love song, a Dexieland stomper & Belle And Sebastian Classic ('98?) for those who don't like their new stuff. The orchestral arrangement on the title track is impressive, although I may soon break into a laugh *every* time I hear that chortling bassoon behind the instrumental break. On the last listen I could even see a pair of comedy Ted Heath shoulders going up & down. I had forgotten that Mike Hurst was a member of The Springfields before turning record producer. He also released 2 solo albums in the early 70's & apparently they have been re-issued recently. Listen at your own risk, though. It was a worry that the King Louis novelty overtones to I Love My Car would soon prove wearing but even after scores of listens I still love it. The Uptown Shufflers may tell appalling jokes but that clarinet solo is the bollocks. I don't know where Tanya Donelly went but she seems to have come back. Sally lent me her new ep & its surprisingly good. The title track may not have the greatest melody but all the old compelling vocal tricks are there. And she's a Lucinda Williams fan. Peter, is the Velvet Underground Bootleg Sessions - The Quine Tapes any good? I dream of the Grateful Dead Box Set. 12 CD's. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Sinister: It could have been a brilliant career
by The Hodottir 28 Nov '01

28 Nov '01

Oh Chums of S'nister Lots of things happen to change the course of our lives. So far, not a graduation, not a relocation, not a broken heart, world terrorism or a radical haircut made me have to unsubscribe, but last week, I lost my cherished job. I was a person who'd go and play with words and pictures, and, yes, I got paid for it. Now, I play with my hair and check my bank balance with a bit lip. Not to worry though, coz I'll be back. I even thought of contacting the band to find out if they need a singer (oh for the RAH and it's gift of for-the-moment behaviour), but best, I suppose to hone a more humble career. As if. Anyhow, the upshot is I'll be gone for a while. Not that many of you will mind, but I will, because it means - to use nasty office-speak - I'll be out of the loop. But at least I'll know the loop's still turning, and I can get back in at any time. :} Tonight my thoughts go out to the great unemployed, and everyone who loves red wine.

Sinister: I met Ulysses S. Grant once, in a bar, in Kansas City.
by eric the half a bee 28 Nov '01

28 Nov '01

right. I must be getting old. when I stretch, I make a noise like a depressed lion that's been smoking too many cigarettes. but I turn 21 in two weeks, so I can buy all the alcohol that I want. this should be exciting. somehow, it's not. I've also been skipping way too many classes. I realized yesterday that I haven't been to my italian film history class in about a month, and I have a class in... about an hour that I bet I'm not going to. cor blimey. next semester I'll be good and go to allll my classes allll the time. I did walk down to get the new single today, and I'm glad I did. "I love my car" would make good supermarket muzak, but I like it anyway, but "marx and engels" is far and away the best song on the single. now I want a beagle. of course, they've never do anything better than TIGERMILK (I felt someone had to say it... I don't really think that). when are they going to get around to a new album? shhhhh. okay, I think I'm done. sorry for another crap post. -eric __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
