Dearest sinister,
I always write you when I am giggly and not very serious. I am considering
writing another one of those but I am not sure whether to. I think not, for
a change.
I am right now sitting at my boyfriend's computer in his hometown, which is
three hours north of Stockholm. I came here yesterday evening and I'll be
going home midday on Saturday, when he has started working again. Me? Oh...
I don't "do" working in the summer. No, I always rely on getting by anyways
because I'm always too late when I'm looking for a summer job and all the
good ones are taken. Telemarketing, can you really imagine it? "Yeah? You
don't like me calling? AH! SOD OFF to you TOO you rude annoying
person!GoodBYE! ". No, I don't think I'll be good with that kind of stuff.
And so I survive on the heaps of money I recieved from various relatives on
my birthday. AH, it's good to be me in those situations.
On Monday, my sister Hedvig, myself and Amanda had a sister night in her
apartment, which meant buying many assorted snacks and sweets and renting a
total of like 4,5 hours of sex and the city, and it was a nice evening
indeed. The day after, my sister took a whole 36-picture roll of film on me
and Amanda in black and white. The weather was SO lovely, non-stop! Seeing
as we here in Sweden are expersiencing are coldest summer in about 70 years
or something, I say: YAY! I wore my new skirt with dots in lots of colours,
it is quite nice if I may say so myself. After that, my sister and my mum
and I went to IKEA (yes, i realise irony in this as I am Swedish and this is
one of the things we are mostly known for) and I bought a nice full-lenght
mirror and some stuff to repair my bedside lamp. I felt pretty responsible,
most of the times spent there I just end up with a tiny stuffed animal that
costed 10 SEK, which is like 70 p or about $1, just because I feel so bad
for them. Anyways, I'm seeing the pictures on Saturday, it'll be so much
fun, we really tried to get some arty poses and variation. We'll use them
for our demo, website etc. etc.
Ok, I know I said I'd be serious but I just thought of the BEST pictures we
took, a ha ha ha ha, they were so stupid. We went to this wee patch of green
grass, supposedly some sort of "park", beside the big road with buses and
all. We saw two buffalo statues (logical motif since in Sweden, there are no
buffalos. maybe reindeers in the north but that's about it), one big chasing
a small. Don't you think we had to climb up on them? Indeed we did! I had to
sit on the pervy one with yucky stone buffalo private parts, which Amanda
just stood and pointed at, laughing hysterically at for quite some time
afterwards. It was one of those moments that just feels so bizarre and
great.
And thank you Richard for the nice compliment about Hit it, Raoul! That's
just the crappy version, there is a much better one so you're just getting
STARTED my friend!
Myself and Amanda have also decided to have a nice name for the collective
of duos and solo projects that surround us. SO, people, now we are PussyKat
Recordings, the home of successful* duo Kat, my own solo project Good Scout
Promise and our sort-of-instrumental laid-back band Look, it's a squirrel!.
Yes, it does feel good to have a name to summarize it. And isn't it just so
CHEEKY, dear readers? PussyKat, because the main band is Kat, and we're chyx
only (not on purpose, er, in the bands that is not generally in life, we're
very happy about our womanhood) and so... ha ha... geddit? geddit? huh? huh?
You'd THINK it's kinky but it's NOT really, so the person reading it ends up
feeling like a PERV! Funny, eh?
Eh?
... what can I write after that paragraph? I feel drained. I am hungry and
without serious thoughts.
Uh, I even bore myself sometimes.
Well now, my dears, I shall socialize with my boyfriend, he gave me great
gifts for my birthday, tons of nice 7" singles, including one B&S, two
spearmint, two interpol, one adam green... etc. etc. and a spoken word
record with my favourite comic drawer, teitur's album and I am kloot, his
favourite band. Ahh. Bless.
So, thank you and goodbye,
please send me a li'l somethin' just so I know what you are all up too.
Sadly, or just nicely, I really am wondering.

Hello everyone.
My last post was merely a link, so I thought I'd do a
longer one.
I actually began writing this last night under a
different title, but gave up. The title change comes
as a result of the song I am listening to at the
minute - alas, it's the Stereophonics' version. It's
not that it's bad - in fact, it's quite good - but
I've grown to prefer the version you hear in The
Office (or even Ricky Gervais's version, because you
know you'll get a good laugh out of it). Speaking of
The Office, I can't believe I didn't realise how good
it was until it was almost over. Ah well, I have the
DVD of Season 1 now, so that's more than a bonus.
"It's like the early part of this decade all over
again", said the Dirty Vicar once he saw my last post
- which was my first since before Xmas, as a matter of
fact. Since then, student life has been and gone (yes,
you can now call me a graduate) and I'm trying to find
a job. And I've seen countless films, and become a
regular contributor to a "Teachers" fansite (To any
"Teachers" fans on this list, who are you? There's a
lot to like about the show on top of The Boy with the
Arab Strap) and...been to three more
concerts/festivals.
The first one of these was the One Big Weekend here in
Derry, and it was fantastic. Got to hear Keane for the
first time, and see Franz Ferdinand and Ash at their
best. Avril Lavigne wasn't quite at her best, but was
still good. (Kelis doesn't do much for me,
unfortunately.)
Then came the Future Kings of Spain, and then Graham
Coxon (both in Belfast's Limelight.)
And then...Oxegen. You knew with the line-up that you
were going to have a great time if you went there -
unfortunately David Bowie's injury made the Darkness
headliners by default. (You'll have already guessed,
I'm sure, that I'm not a fan of theirs.) Never mind -
for me The Divine Comedy, Ash, Franz Ferdinand (come
on, Peter Miller, they are not bad), Keane, PJ Harvey,
and lesser known acts such as Cathy Davey and Saucy
Monky (have any of you heard of them? I hadn't until
they supported Tim Burgess last year.) made the
weekend memorable.
But Belle & Sebastian's set was ahead of them all. I'd
no idea they were playing, even, until very close to
the festival itself. Since I'm feeling quite lazy now,
how this gig was for me can be summed up in a
paragraph from the article about Oxegen that I wrote
for a magazine:
"As I relocated to the Green Room at about 11.30 p.m.
for Belle & Sebastian, I had no idea what a reception
the band was in for. It appears that there are more
Belle & Sebastian fans in Ireland than I thought.
Changing record labels, along with apparently securing
the service of some talented new violinists who IÂ’d
previously never seen, has really made a difference.
That difference was visible in this extremely lively
and even friendly set, demonstrated when leading man
Stuart Murdoch invited a girl from the audience to
dance to two of the songs on stage. The band gave
great performances of songs such as “The Boy with the
Arab Strap” (also known as the theme from the popular
TV show “Teachers”), “Legal Man”, “Sleep the Clock
Around”, “Step Into my Office, Baby”, “I’m A Cuckoo”,
and more.
Stuart was a real livewire, and Sarah Martin just
showed what a versatile musical performer she is. How
she has compensated for the loss of Isobel Campbell."
Other songs that I remember they performed were:
I Fought in a War
The Model
You Don't Send Me
I'm sure there's more, but honestly, I can't remember.
Simply talking about this reminds me of what DV posted
about earlier - "the early part of this decade". And
in a way, seeing B & S at Oxegen brought me back to
December 2001 (yes, I remember the month) and that
fantastic B & S gig at the Mandela Hall, which wasn't
long before that Xmas. Makes me wish they'd do
something like that again in these parts, later in the
year...
Now, I hope those of you that were able to see them in
London (and that includes James, plus Sam Walton and a
few others who posted recently) had just as great a
time.
What I also didn't mention was just how good an album
DCW is. Actually, it's close to great. It took time to
grow on me, but don't all albums?
Big shouts to Amy Skelton, DV, James and any of the
Irish Sinister posse that I haven't mentioned. And
although I defended Franz Ferdinand earlier, rest
assured that I don't intend to vote for them regarding
the Mercury Music Prize.
Take care all
Psi

Hi All,
Thanks to Spanish Tranny Sister Disco for drawing our
attention to the BBCÂ’s Mercury Music Prize poll. I
would like to think that I am a straightforward guy
who wouldnÂ’t endorse cheating, vote fixing or anything
underhand like that. So I was a little puzzled when
someone who used to live here, & who is well-enough
known in B&S circles to be mentioned by surname from
the stage at B&SÂ’s Somerset House show on Saturday
posted this on his board:

I am not quite sure what it all means but see what you

Minor Reporting Back from the weekend:
1) Whilst sat in a pub by Waterloo Station before
SaturdayÂ’s gig it occurred to me that it would be
highly appropriate for the band to play The KinksÂ’ top
tune ‘Waterloo Sunset’, so I txted someone in the band
to request it, & blow me down, there it was later
being sung by Our Stevie. Thanks a lot!
2) Whilst swanning around on the terrace of Somerset
House at SaturdayÂ’s aftershow I spotted Alison
Newman!! (For those of you who are not aware of her,
she plays a character called Hazel Bailey in favourite
TV drama ‘Footballers Wive$’ (see
http://www.footballerswives.tv/chs/chs_hb.html )
Nice to see so many Sinister people old and new both
before & at Saturday's concert. (A lot of the older
ones didn't go!)
Love to all
David Moore

Gosh,
Sam's done a good job of describing most of Sunday's gig already, but here's
a quick one, two, three from me...
1. This was the best Belle and Sebastian gig I have ever seen.
2. I danced for two whole hours and spilt someone's pint all over their
face.
3. Whoever you were, I am very sorry.
4. Oddly, when I looked around myself, even during the most danceable
numbers, very few people were dancing. I thought this a strange thing.
5. You Made Me Forget My Dreams and Belle and Sebastian were excellent, and
much better than the EP versions.
6. All of the audience participation worked for once; the very scottish girl
who sang to Dirty Dream knew her stuff, and Legal Man featured a
tremendously enthusiastic Brazillian man who ran about onstage taking photos
of everyone. He reminded me of Jordi.
7. The banter was great, especially all of the stuff about Chris being in a
higher tax band.
8. Somerset House is lovely.
9. I think people hated me for dancing so much.
10. Stuart wore a bowler hat, and at one point he took his top off.
11. I didn't meet any Sinister people at the gig at all, even the ones who I
thought I was bound to recognise.
12. Stuart seemed quite upset when he forgot the lyrics at the end of You
Made Me Forget My Dreams.
13. After Stevie sang Family Tree, there was, as Sam so aptly puts it, "a
moment of tension".
14. During the gig, a man was talking loudly to his mates about "batting
averages, extraordinarily. When I was dancing I might have accidentally
punched him.
BYE,
ROBIN

The BBC would like to know who you think will win the Mercury Music Prize. I
think it will be Belle and Sebastian, whose recent album 'Dear Catastrophe
Waitress' has some intriguing lyrics and a lovely Legoland sheen. I think of
it as a crucial by-election after the disappointment of being trounced by
Will 'The Wolf Survive?' Young in the Ivor Novello Awards.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/3909513.stm
Don't let those spiky angular guitar sad sack of arse bastards Franz
Ferdinand win!
I have been to two concerts at Somerset House, but I can't be bothered to
Report Back yet.
Cheers,
Sister Disco

Hello Sinister.
I've been trying to post but it keeps on not working. I wrote something
about the Slow Graffiti thread, but it never arrived, and now the moment's
passed. Hope this one makes it, as it has CONTENT galore.
So the weekend. The gigs. Somerset House. Fantastic stuff, it really was.
I've seen the band a few times, and this was by far their best in front of
me. Yes, better than the R!A!H. In the absence of David Moore, here's the
set list from the Sunday night:
- Fuck This Shit
- La Pastie De La Bourgeousie
- Step Into My Office, Baby
- Wrapped Up In Books
- Women's Realm
- I Fought In A War
- The Lonliness Of A Middle-Distance Runner
- Travelling Light
- The Boy Done Wrong Again
- My Wandering Days Are Over
- Embarrassment (by Madness)
- Dog On Wheels
- Dirty Dream Number 2
- You Made Me Forget My Dreams
- Forget
- If She Wants Me
- Family Tree (this came after a heckle requesting it, and Stevie sang the
opening verse in real asthmatic hampster voice, to the delight of the crowd)
- Belle & Sebastian
- Taxman (an impromptu cover after Stevie said "come on! we're at the tax
office, everybody smash a window!")
- Roy Walker
- String Bean Jean
- If You Find Yourself Caught In Love
- Legal Man
(encore)
- Me & The Major
- I'm A Cuckoo
(interestingly, no Twattybus...)
I felt such a paternal glow as the band rattled through their set, like
finally they'd grown up and blossomed from their shyness into this
confident, swaggering pop band - they were tight, professional, and actually
at a decent volume too. Good crowd banter too. Struan breifly sported a
Cliff Richard tee-shirt for the opening few songs, before *swoon* changing
his top ON STAGE, and he also donned a bowler hat for the Madness cover.
Of interest was Sarah's newfound stage confidence, and Struan's reply to the
heckler who asked for Family Twee: "do *you* wanna sing it?", he asked back.
At which point Stevie launched into his Isobel impression, which he later
apologised for, saying he didn't mean to take the piss out of Bel. "Ah, but
ya did really", countered Struan, and there was a moment of tension.
3 THINGS WE DIDN'T KNOW: 1) Beans had one year when he was in the top
bracket of tax. 2) He is the only member of the band to enjoy such wealth.
3) The Greatest Hits Of Deep Purple is Deep Purple's best album.
Did anybody else see that they've been nominated for a MERCURY PRIZE! I
shouldn't think they'll win it though, and to be honest, probably best if
they don't, although at 12/1 it's probably worth putting a bet on. My
money's on Ty, at 10/1, in case anybody cares...
Anyway, that's about all for now.
love

I think I was going to write after Glastonbury, and then I didn't. So now I
am writing.
It's funny how little traffic there is following that B&S concert at the
weekend. Or maybe it hasn't happened yet and I am confused? Maybe. In any
case, as part of my general plan to visit London either before or after B&S
play I will be in London NEXT weekend. I'm going to be at some indie sadfest
in Bethnal Green, where loads of obscure bands are playing. I am looking
forward to seeing Language Of Flowers, because I saw them in Glasgow a while
back and they are hybrids of all good music, and also the Blondie tribute
act on the bill. The thing I am looking forward to most is my DJing. Yes,
some fule is letting me loose on the wheels of steel. For fifteen minutes. I
think I will be putting on 'Rapper's Delight'.
Yesterday I saw that film "Tale of the Weeping Camel". It is about these
people who like in Mongolia, who have this camel that gives birth to a
little baby camel, only the mummy camel does not like the little baby camel
and will not look after it. The little baby camel is then very sad. I won't
reveal how the film ends, but oddly it involves singing and violin-playing.
I am beginning to think that maybe I would like to live in a yurt in
Mongolia and raise camels.
And I read a book over the weekend in which all these people who live in
Pompeii are killed horribly when the nearby mountain turns into a volcano.
Now I want to go and see Pompeii. I reckon Naples could also be a laugh,
even though it is apparently Europe's dodgiest city (if you are from Naples,
please do not kill me).
I was excited to see a post from Mr Fallaha the other day. It's like the
early part of this decade all over again.
That's it, really.
bless,
DV

Hi
Hope everyone going to Somerset House tonight and tomorrow has a lovely
time..for those who can't go (and those who can, too, actually), there is
an interview with Stuart in today's Guardian guide.
The link is here:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguide/features/story/0,14671,1262903,00.html
but it is giving me an error message - maybe you will be luckier, or they
will have fixed it soon.
The first paragraph is:"
" Conventional wisdom dictates that you shouldn't judge a book by its
cover. But it doesn't half save time. For instance, if you see a man with
a moustache in London, it is reasonable to assume he is either a
policeman, gay or actually from Rotherham."
This does seem to be random observation on the part of the writer, as the
rest of the article seems to suggest that Belle and Sebastian's main man
is exactly what you would expect from the cover of their albums, and his
ideal woman is who you see on the cover of the albums. Perhaos I read that
bit too quickly, to get to the main thing - an interview with Stuart.
Not havign seen B&S recently, it is a shock but not a surprise to see
Stuart has gone for a haircut last sported by the Eloi in The Time
Machine, or maybe David Hemmings or Jean Seberg. Very fetching.
Interesting facts:
Stuart is Christian with a small c
Stuart and Stevie were scared by their glamorous fans, in the early days.
That's you!
Cheers
Linda

Dear Sinister,
I know I've been out of touch for a LONG time. Limited time on the net' and
all that. Some people have informed me that messages sent bounced from my
account over the last month. If you're not sure if I got your email then
please send again. It seems to be okay now (fingers crossed).
Well my first summer of no festivals hasnÂ’t been as much torture as I
imagined. I contented myself by listening to Glasto highlights (including B
& S and Morrissey) on the BBC World Service. I have been kicked off the
siniglasto list (during my account problems) so I donÂ’t know what you were
all discussing. Those that IÂ’ve heard from seemed to have lots of fun.

See my Apr-May BIG update first including my honey hunting trip in The
Sundarbans - with pics. It was a brilliant trip so there's plenty of juicy
details. There's a smaller May-June update. As I've got my access (without
internet) to a computer in Bangladesh I've started including some pictures.
I did go over my old updates to add pics - saris, slum areas etc. to give
you a broader view but these improved versions don't appear to have gone
live yet.
While you're on the site have a look (if you get chance) to see what the
Teesside One World Centre is all about.
HONEY I'M HOME... NEWS FROM THE UK
My big news is that I'm back in the UK for interviews! My first is with
Biwater (international Water/wastewater treatment consultants) for a
graduate engineering position on Tuesday. Then at the end of the month I've
got an assessment centre exercise with DFID (Department for International
Development). That's for a 12 - 18 month placement to hopefully make me a
better consultant for DFID in the future. IÂ’m going for an Infrastructure
(Water and Environmental Health) position. There's so much preparation work
I need to do for this! TheyÂ’re paying for my flight ticket from the deshÂ’
bless them.
The DFID assessment is in East Kilbride. Glasgow massive - are you up to
anything then? It would be nice to see some of you.
I'm staying in the UK for a month (leaving Aug 15th). My last week may
(hopefully) be in Surrey for a canal restoration camp but I've got another
three weeks to try and cram things in as is my usual style.
If anyone is in Cardiff - either normally or for the Interhash and wants to
meet up then please let me know.
This UK trip was quite last minute so I couldnÂ’t pre-notify.
THE END IS NIGHÂ…
I'll be back in the UK on a more permanent (?) basis on Thurs September 23rd
- the end of my placement in Bangladesh. Yes, I know that means I'm only
going back overseas for a month but I really want to finish my job properly.
I enjoy my work and my colleagues are like family for a start. Not to
mention the fact that I'm still going out with Stu (American Peace Corps
Volunteer). Yes, it has developed into a more serious relationship as the
months have gone on. We've already decided that we are going to try and keep
it going when I leave the desh'. Both of us 'want job, will travel'. His
placement in Bangladesh doesn't finish until end of May 2005. We'll come up
with something. In the meantime hopefully I'll be earning soon and will be
able to afford go back to the Desh' in winter. my wellbeing won't be able to
afford not to. So, i'm about to embark on my first inter-continental
relationship. It's a bit daunting.
Right, now I have to get on with some individual messaging. Some of you have
been neglected for a long time.
<Brr> It's cold. I need to reacclimatise.
Take care all,
Amy
