Bowlie was truly wonderfull, with most of the bands performing the best shows I have seen from them, rising to the occasion. Belle and Sebastian played a relatively long set, and I don't think I've seen anyone on Sinister post the set list yet. Based on my recollection it went something like Slow Graffitti Seeing Other People dog on wheels century of fakers the wrong girl i know where the summer goes (whos that girl?) a stuart david song I didn't recognize simple things if yr feeling sinister Paper Boats the boy with the Arab Strap Photo Jenny A new upbeat Isabelle song, very Motown sounding Lazy line Painter Jane The Kids Are Allright Other highlights? Mogwai covering Joy Division, the stunning set by the Flaming Lips, the hush that fell over the small crowd downstairs as Dean Wareham played Galaxie 500's "blue thunder" and proceeded to cover Beat Happenings "Indian Summer" and Johnathan Richman's "Don't Let our youth go to waste" as people wept while smiling... just seeing all of the kids milling about, talking, getting into trouble.... The crowd was great, and very receptive to everything. I was worried that people wouldn't neccesarily get into Sleater-Kinney since they are much more of a rock band than most of the acts, but people were freaking out and dancing and screaming between their songs, which inspired them to play a particularly good show. Jarvis's DJing was peculiar, with awkwardly segued songs like "Funky Cold Medina" and "Can't Touch This." I kid you not. It was fun though, and seeing the floor filled with fans, most of Stereolab, Elliott Smith, and Sleater-Kinney all madly dancing as he spun "White Lines" was a blast. Salako's late night chalet acoustic shows were fun, with various people (cornelius, stuart david) taking turns playing backed by them.... David and Katrina worked tirelessly at the merchandise table, and yet always seemed to be happy to meet people and enjoy all of the mayhem around them. Cheers. The whole thing was such a blast, and Neil and Stuart and everyone that put it together should be very pleased with what an amazing event they managed to pull off..... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
