From JENOWL22 at xxx.com Sun Apr 1 00:39:50 2001 From: JENOWL22 at xxx.com (JENOWL22 at xxx.com) Date: Sat, 31 Mar 2001 18:39:50 EST Subject: Sinister: Why are all my friends pyros? Message-ID: Hewwo, Drunken phone calls are good. Well, not when I'm making them, because that's usually me being sick down the phone. But when other people phone you up and they're baned it's good, because you can laugh at them. I had two tonight. But I spoke to 5 drunk people, so does that count as five? My friend Jaz has a butler. His name was Igor and he was my first drunken phone call tonight. He told me about his thing for getting down and dirty round the back end with corpses. He reckons his girlfriend would be uspet if he told her that he was a necrophiliac, and that he hopes she was cheating on him because then he wouldnt have to satisfy her. I hope he doesn't come near me when he come to live in east kilbride, because the Blonde thinks I look like a corpse. She's got a point, my skin is a funny shade of gray at the moment, and I have shadows. I should really sleep or something. He was also telling me about the time he met a peodophile, and how the guy was lactose intolerant, so he tried to trick him into eating cheese. Sometimes, I think he's telling the truth, but Jaz told me when he went to the toilet that he'd been drinking magic mushroom tea, and that just before he phoned he'd thought that the toilet tried to bite him, and that he was doing a poo out of his stomach. When he came back he was screaming that martin was a dragon and he fancied anne robinson. He also told me to burn plastic and inhale it, so I did because I had a pen and a candle and he reckoned it would make me fly, but it didn't make me fly at all, it just made me cough. Then Jaz started on about injecting people with cancer, and how the Brownie guides would do anything for a 10p mix, so I went away. My second drunken phone call was from a sinister type peson, Mr Hatcher who told me what rimming meant, but he wasn't all that drunk. He said Mark said i was psychotic, and i frowned. I went to a goth club, which wasn't a goth club at all, just a place with placebo fans. But a boy in a cradle of filth top kept looking at my chest, which got annoying. He kept saying would I cast a spell to kill his friend and make him get hit by a bus, but I said no, and he said I looked like a girl on the cover of a cradle of filth CD, so I gave him the frowning of his life. That showed him. I sat my music exam for singing, but I messed it up. I knew that I shouldn't have taken singing when I can't sing. And I shouldn't have made a run for it after my first piece either. My maths teacher gave me into a row for being off school for a week. I had to get an operation thingy, but I didn't tell him that. I just went red and the hard kids laughed. I should have made him feel really guilty, but I couldn't be bothered. People keep trying to rip my union jack badge off my jacket. It's not even funny. Just because I'm not a celtic fan. I support Hamilton Accies, if you must know. I don't really. The funniest thing happened to me. Well, actually it wasn't funny at all, it as quite crap. When I came back to school all the big fat hard kids (even the tiny ones) all lined up for me coming out of class to spit on me and throw stones and pencils at me. You have to give them credit for their organisational skills, but it still wasn't very nice, especially since I was having trouble walking anyway. I think I get stoned in school more than the neds. I'm going a bit mad, because I've just eaten for the first time and it's midnight, and I'm getting a sugar rush and it's fun. I've decided to kidknap chris geddes and make him play the keyboard for me. He is such a lovely little pixie and I'm going to kiss his forehead next time I see him. I liked TWATTYBUS, it's not bad at all. I was listening to it with all the lights off, and I was thinking about Ribena and how much I wanted some. My friends all signed me up for porn. It wasn't fair, because when the Blonde and a quite baned me signed up all our friends we made sure it was just normal porn. But they went and signed me up for bestiallity porn, and it's a radge. And they've got the password, and I don't know how to stop recieving regular updates about cherry the horse and her 19 year old lover. It's half past 12 now. That's crazy. It takes me so long to do stuff. Prolly cause I keep having text message fights with people. Only not real ones because that would be bad. I think Lord Anthony should be released. And that Lord Anthony and the girl in Expectations should get together, and then Struan could write a song about them and how they nuked all the hard kids. I'm going to go before I embarrass myself further. Hugs, Jen Ps. Don't Baxendale songs make you want to blink. I always blink too much when I listen to baxendale. Pps. I got new white tights. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

The movie that I wrote sixty pages of script for- over the course of six months. we licensed "seeing other people" for one of the many Eisensteinian montages in the film. It's called 'Gravity & Grace'- from a line in a poem written by the main character in Jonathan Coe's "House of Sleep", which is, as any of you who have read it may know, an almost perfect book. I'm nervous about the movie though, as I think most people would be. The friend who's directing it wants to enter it into all these festivals and such, and apply for grants too. I dunno. We apparently have a publicity staff now, which strikes me as eerily weird. We're going to have a premier, and a party afterwards. It all seems too 'let's pretend we're grown-ups' to me. I keep flashing back to what Kevin Murphy, one of the writers for Mystery Science Theater 3000 wrote- "maybe someday I'll have a vision, and make a movie, and I fear that it will end up like all the rotten tripe that we riff on"..... I still owe the short stories that I auctioned for the B&S thing- there are five actually written, but still five to go. and I need the artwork from my friend in Chicago.... hmmm. this seems like the point in the post when I have to say 'i don't know why I'm telling anyone this, but thanks for reading if you got this far'. electronic group counseling. geoff farina's new record is quite good.

Ford) Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2001 08:58:43 -0700 Subject: Sinister: No one reads American posts anyway Message-ID: <005901c0bac4$a12e5b20$a8ac54d1@Pclumanfu> Many thanks to whomever supplied me with my subject line a few weeks ago . . . So the other evening I was talking to this woman that I work with, outside of work on the telephone, because she had hit on me in the most aggressive of ways the prior day at work, and I was attempting to explain a bit about myself to her, as people often do on those first phone calls when you're each feeling the other person out to see if an actual face-to-face outside-of-work meeting (a.k.a. 'a date') is warranted, and I kept coming up short on one point. (How's that for a confusing run-on? Go ahead, read it again, absorb it, the rest will be there for you when you've finished. . . ) See, she was in a state of disbelief about the fact that I haven't dated in four months, which isn't a long time in my book really, and I was trying my best to explain why I don't find such a dry spell to be disheartening at all. I kept searching for the proper words to describe how I feel about the subject, and during my quest, I stated that I'm an only child, so being alone doesn't bother me, that I just don't feel like going out these days, that maybe the winter's lack of sun has got me down a bit, etc., but none of those reasons were really true, and although she didn't know they weren't true, I did, and it bothered me. I began thinking about it tonight again, as I was sitting home alone all evening, eating dinner, watching a movie, doing some light cleaning, all the while longing for someone to do all of these things with, or better yet, to be doing things outside of my apartment with some special girl. I was feeling quite the hypocrite, wishing that I could be out somewhere, or in even, but wishing I was in the company of an attractive woman whom I could share a Chianti with, and hold, and touch, and smell, when I had turned down an attractive woman for a date just yesterday. This woman is attractive, yes, but no one that I'd be interested in having a long term some-thing-or-another with. I still could have used her to fill the space temporarily at least, why didn't I? This was my dilemma. Then it struck me, the words with which I can express how I feel: I would rather be home alone, yearning to be with the woman of my dreams than out with another woman knowing that she was only a temporary substitute. This may strike you as odd, seeing as it's difficult for one to meet the woman of his dreams whilst sitting at home, so here's where I say that I do go out with friends to the bars and places of that ilk often enough, and I know that it's possible to meet the woman of my dreams in a rather passive manner, because I've met two in my life who've come damn close, well, that leads me to believe that it's possible anyway. I'm not sure I really KNOW anything. So, my point is, because I'm sure you're wondering if you've read this far, that I'm pleased to have realized that I'm secure enough in my own company to wait for someone to come along whose company is truly better, that I don't have to always have someone else here to make me feel comfortable about myself. I hope the same sort of peace for all of you. . . This was my first post. Apologies for it's length. You all seem to be lovely individuals, Chris +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

The Peacock Manifesto is probably the best black comedy you'll read this year.' as it's only april this strikes me as a fairly bold claim. anyway, i'll be heckling stuart/peacock at brighton borders on the 18th april if anyone wants to join me. ooh, just listening to pj harvey's duet with thom yorke for the first time and it's gorgeous. their voices do complement each other i think, polly's being soft and husky while thom's is ethereal/banshee. change in pockets: has anyone done the gender test at www.thespark.com? we worked out that out of the 50 plus questions, the only one they use to really determine your gender is 'do you carry stuff in your pockets?' if no, you're officially a girl. now my cd player has turned around to the holy bible. depite the kings of convenience, i have not been in a very quiet, twee mood lately. 'why do anything when you can forget everything?' yeah. i have decided to go to canada (toronto i think) when my job finishes in september. not for good (yet) but for a week or two. i know it's a long way off yet, but if any canadian listees want to give me info or advice, or meet up, that would be cool. now i'm off into town to buy the stuff i didn't get yesterday. london has let me down indeed. luv archel xxx *************************************** Rachel Playforth 'She may not be famous, but she's right' - Homer Simpson For the best in new writing on the web, visit www.buzzwords.org.uk Contact us on buzzwords at bigfoot.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

"cuz school's out forever, and i'm never gonna let it go." ribena and vimto tie for the scariest beverage ever. one morning at mell street, julie and i scoured the kitchen for JUICE. all we found was carbonated syrup that tried to pass for juice. y'all drink some weird-ass shit. xoxo, ree ===== * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "to me she was just marie." -mersault "Let me, for our happiness/ Be the one to love the less." -dorothy parker http://www.chickpages.com/poetrypod/lilarsonist __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Fooled you again, I didn't really do that, but I'M GOING TO ATP! I think AnTiciPate should have clever drinks promotions where selected drinks are only "80p", like, erm, Vodka and Red Bull for example. I think my life is slowly starting to work out now, my study is calmly approaching the final furlong, with a job now secured, I now know pretty much where my future lies. Got you again.

Message-ID: <8e.13592953.27f9a210@aol.com> folks, pete is a young boy from new jersey (a place on the east coast of north america) who has been on the list for ages. he is nice, though at times horribly shy. at other times he is mean, though terribly outgoing. he also normally doesn't write in the third person. tonight he is seemingly in a mood. in recent years (or about the last 6 months) pete has read the list mails. some days he would smirk at the insights of those oh so very european writers. sometimes he would stare blankly at mails he did not understand. other nights, usually while on crack, he would envision the actions that occured in the mails as acted out by dismembered gi joe action figures, all w/ the name of bruce, to a soundtrack of early 90s grunge rock hits as played by yo yo ma. tonight, he is contributing his own words. though these are basically for selfish reasons. you see, he's going to see arab strap on tuesday night in hoboken, new jersey (also on the east coast of north america) and he's the slightest bit curious to find out if others, and by others he means others from the sinister list, are going. or for that matter, are anywhere near hoboken, new jersey (eastern u.s.). if so, email the young boy. he's terribly lonely. except on the days when he's not. love, pete. if this all works out, i'm sure you'll be hearing more from me. if not, it either didn't, or i'm dead. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <03754DDCC645D311AA6700805F854E43027754B2@lotus.ntu.ac.uk> Like many others, I got ever-so-slightly excited at hearing 'Legal Man' on the excellent TV comedy 'Spaced' on Friday night. And then I wondered why, given that I could just go upstairs and play the CD any time I wanted to. /dear diary bit none of you will care about In true Sinister style, my Saturday night was spent consuming jugs of Vodka and Red Bull, before boogying the night away at one of Nottingham's classiest (?) nightspots, The Irish. And imagine my surprise when a startlingly good-looking lady showed her interest in me. Unfortunately, one of my friends also appears to have designs on me at the moment, and insisted on dancing about 6 inches in front of me, despite my best efforts to tell her to piss off and leave me to it. So my barren patch continues (5 months and counting...). So if any of you have any tips on how to get the message through to this friend that she's 9 years older than me, she's got 4 kids, I'm just not interested, let me know. /end dear diary When I was in Newcastle last week for a conference (well, a 3-day long piss-up basically, culminating in a Medieval Banquet on the last night), I had a girl spending 5 minutes persuading me that despite being tall, I don't look like a freak. Should I take this as a compliment? (I have also recently had someone being suprised at my musical taste, because 'You don't look like a Belle and Sebastian fan'...)

It always unnerves me somewhat when it goes quiet (...try not to fart...try not to fart...) - maybe you're all giggling behind my back. But this is the second time in two weeks that this has happened, and just when my work has become so boring I could die as well. Don't you know it's your duty to entertain me, Sinister? Cause if you don't then you just get idiots like me trying desperately to think of things to post, just to keep keep myself entertained. Such as this: Where I work we spend a lot of time looking through all the records (that's births and deaths and stuff, rather than 45s and EPs) kept in Scotland and last week we were amused to find that in 1901 there were two men in Shetland called Hay Hay. Now while this might be ample excuse, if any were needed, for a rendition of the Monkees theme tune, or even, perhaps, an impression of the Fonz, it's not really something that 1400 souls are going to be interested in, is it? So start posting again, or else I'm going to have to think up more dismal nonsense to annoy you with! Some stuff that people said: Blake: (how are your Seven doing, by the way? Sorry, that's probably the millionth time someone's said that) >does everyone know that if you search for your name >via yahoo or google or something, and you've posted, >that your posts will turn up? That scares me. So, being an inquisitive sort I tried this, but all that I got was stuff about yachts and St Mirren. Which does explain one of the more odd phone calls I've ever had - that time Tom Hendrie called me up..no, no not that one. But that one, about five years ago, when I was working in an advertising agency and I got a phone call from someone asking if I could come and fix his boat, cause I'd worked on it about 15 years previous. I was highly dubious about this as I would only have been three at the time and while I was obviously a talented child, fixing boats was probably a bit beyond me. So finding out that Ian M Nicolson is an authority on yacht building was something of a relief. Although how this feller got my works phone number is still a puzzle. Archel: >change in pockets: has anyone done the gender test at >www.thespark.com? we worked out that of the 50 plus questions, >the only one they use to really determine your gender is 'do you carry >stuff in your pockets?' if no, you're officially >a girl. Well, I'm a chap and I carry stuff in my pockets and I said I did, but I still ended up being a woman. Darn. See, this is the shite that you have to read when you don't post, so do something now! It can't be any worse than this.

Sorry to everyone who went though... eeek... I was playing with my friend's new shiny wap phone in french today and its wicked! It took me a little while to figure out how to use it, and i ended up at russelgrant.com which was cool because my horoscope was something like 'your friends finally accept you for who you are, so you're happy all this week' (right so far) 'no more being called an oddball!' (not right, but hey, we can wish) 'but don't become complacent' (complacent? me?)... Anyway, it made me laugh, and I got told off by the drama teacher who was covering our lesson.

As that would be silly wouldn't it? North London apparently is the venue for AnTiciPate too this Thursday which I'd recommend for anyone who needs a night out in smelly North London town before that All Tomorrows Parties thingy. Well except those people with a keen interest in who shot Phil Mitchell, think J.R American readers, if you got this far, but more Texas Homecare than Texas, more callous than Dallas, more Shite on Telly than Miss Ellie, umm... or an interest in Gerrard FC v Catalonian Thistle, or even those who don't want to listen to Sinister people DJ-ing in an appallingly amateurish fashion. Oh that's just me isn't it? I think the other Sinister people and the Strange Fruit DJ's know what they're doing. I mean if Bruno Brookes can do it for a! living it can't be that hard can it? He presents programs about fishing now on Sky Sports 2 and is currently president of the Please Invest Some Savings in Fish Ladder Architectural Program Studies, which is better known as PISSFLAPS. So there's hope for us all. I know I rest a lot of my hope in PISSFLAPS. Oh anyway this AnTiciPate thingy starts at 8pm and goes on to the unearthly hour of 2am, I'll be sipping cocoa with Bruno and Anthea Turner and talking about what went wrong with the perfect celebrity couple, think of Beckham and Posh Spice but slightly more Clacton-on-sea than Gucci, more eating Spam delighted than Man United... umm... oh yes and said evening of DJ-ing and fun and frolics is Upstairs at the Garage. Email me if you have any concerns about anything and I'll try my best to push your life in the right direction. I applied to write the problem page for the Sunday Sport once, but apparently I was going to lower the tit count. Techincally I was just a tit, and they needed a pair.

Oh My! With all these foxes and fast girls, I don't know whether I'm on a mailing list or a porno set. Don't even ask me what is making that Carsmile... So, I've never actually been on a porn set to know. However, I did meet an adult movie star before. Yes, she had just written a book. (I use the term "written" loosely here.) (I use the term "loosely" loosely here as well). However, I didn't realize she was an author at the time and thought she worked for the publishing company at which booth she was at. (I was at a booksellers convention). When I finally discovered it, I apologized for the mistake and she was quite nice about it. She even gave me a copy of her book which she autographed. That's when I looked down to see that the name of her book was, "If I'm so famous how come nobody's ever heard of me?" Whooops! I ended up giving the book to my father who gave the book to his father. If you can't share porno with your dad, what's the point? I believe I'm going to save that last sentence just in case I ever go into therapy and can't think of anything to say. As always, Primitive Painter spoke my heart. This time it was when he said, "It seems I have a penchant for early eighties guitar pop, that I can't seem to shake. Oh the days when The Chesterfields sang 'What's Your Perversion?" Oh! I love that song. In fact, the other day I was mentally going through the tracks that I would put on a mix tape if that were the theme song. Of course, at the same time I was also trying to figure out what tunes I should put on my girly tape which I'm making for a friend. I had nicked Baxendale's "Music For Girls" for the beginning & theme of that one. Anyway, the two soon became muddled in my head and I ended up with a mix of "Music for Your Perversions" which pretty much accurately describes any mix tape by me. You know that feeling when you've just completed a tape you've made for someone else and you put it in to listen to it the whole way through for the first time? Before you know it, you've suddenly been consumed with pride and greed. Not only is it the BEST mix tape ever but you don't want to ever let go of it. I've even made copies of tapes and ended up giving away the copy instead of the original! Heh. Who's going to give that kind of art away? No, that tape deserves to be dipped in gold and saved for posterity! You might have listened to it for weeks beaming with pride before you finally parted with it. However, you still know that down in the books that mix tape will go. Well, here's the time to let everyone else know it as well. I'm officially announcing the **********TRANSATLANTIC MIX TAPE CHALLENGE OF 2001********** Already there are three contestants. The last entry which was Racy Rinaldo who rasped: "I too am competing for that crown. I had no idea that the painter and the fox were in the same race. No matter, I feel a coronation coming on." *nudges the others* Did you hear that challenge boys? "I hear a coronation coming on." Oh ho ho ho. Are you going to stand for that? No! So, here's the deal. All you need to do is to come up with your best mix tape and send it to me. Simply e-mail me for my address when you're ready to mail it and I shall officially enter you into the competition. There are no rules - no time limits for the tapes. When I have enough tapes to make a decent competition and no one else seems to be interested, I will pick the winner and post their name along with the track listing of the tape to Sinister. You should know that I drive A LOT. Thus, your tape will most likely be listened to while I drive. Now, you might not think this is a factor or important but I can assure that no matter how great the group God Speed You Black Emperor! is they simply do not rank high on the drivability scale. Unless, you're in a tank cruising around the rubble left after the apocalypse. Now, when I'm not trying to solicit music from the list what else am I doing? Anyone...anyone...anyone...Bueller? That's right - Literature Recommendations! Ahh, yes it's April and here in the US it's National Poetry Month! Yes, it's that time of year when Wee Ree pulls out her dog-eared copy of the Waste Land to recite to the masses. How can you not fall in love with simple beauty such as that? Especially, when she tells of such tradition and then ends her letter so eloquently with her ode to Ribena which tearfully ends with, "y'all drink some weird-ass shit." We Americans even have a little competition where we get to vote on what dead poets face will be schlacked as a stamp on third rate envelopes everywhere. Oh that's the kind of thing to make your literary loving hearts swell with pride! I think so far the top competitors are Langston Hughes, Sylvia Plath, SomeoneIdon'trememberwhoI'llkickmyselfforforgetting, and Wallace Stevens. Go Wally! Of course, I can't say I'm too enthusiastic for all of this. They've already put my precious parker on a stamp and they found the ugliest picture possible of her. It's so sad! She deserves so much more than the Postal Office could ever provide! (Then again, don't we all?) Until I discovered Dorothy Parker, I was not a fan of poetry at all. In fact, the mention of it still leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth from memories of my high school literary magazine which was filled with the most dreadful love sick, angst filled, pretentious, prosaic lyrics of all time. Not only that but my sad (sadsad) compatriots were lauded for their talent and skill. No wonder so many teenagers are suicidal. If I could only write the crap they came up with, I'd already have one foot off that ledge. It seems to me that poetry, because of it's length (or lack thereof), is the easiest for people to try to write. Notice the word 'try'. When well done, poetry is anything but easy. However, a lot of people try and because I had read only that which did not appeal to me I was turned off completely. Then I discovered Dorothy Parker! My love! Next, my friend gave me a tiny nondescript book of poetry by Wallace Stevens to which I also fell in love. (Only to words & music does my heart ever seem to go to so easily.) Now, I realize it was only folly to think I didn't like poetry. It's just a matter of finding the small flecks of gold amongst the rest of the rubbish. So, if you will - if you have a favorite poet could you please send the suggestion my way? I'm incredibly lacking on knowledge so any help and recommendations would be most welcome!! And remember - the tape mix crown is up for grabs, Baby! Laura "meeting all of your Laura Llew needs since 1977" PS - In an example of where life imitates art, I am now a redhead. According to Paul Fields, I was always a vixen. So, Katarina Karlsson's drawing is now exactly correct. Woo Hoo! PMS- A while back Pinefox queried, "Where is Miller anyway? Not to mention Utah." The answer: "You know, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures." However, don't ask me what Miller is wedged between. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

What sort of presents can I send to Paul to show him I love him? > > >A very good question - honey of course, rude postcards or silly >little toys. > the new FAQ says this: >27. What sort of presents can I send to Honey to show my love? > >A very good question - honey of course, rude postcards or silly little toys. > notice that slight little change there? our honey used to actually be called by his given name! why don't i remember this clearly? he's always been list mummy hunny to me. i'm sure those of you who are tried-and-true oldskoolers on the list are probably not shocked and amazed by this, but what can i say? i'm easily amused. speaking of easily amused, i was at work yesterday and i wore my study at stow shirt and the cutest little indie boy came in and i sold him a french press and a half pound of coffee, thinking how nice would it be if he was a belle and sebastian fan and noticed my shirt (even though all but that upper "s" curve was hidden by my apron), but no luck. we'll just have to see if he ever comes into the store again. hey! maybe he's on the list and now i should be thoroughly embarrassed if he is. but i truly have to get back to work, i just don't want to. oh, and for the record, back some many months ago (possibly a couple years), chris jones's posts were all dated 1996, and so they ended up at the top of my "sinister" mailbox, and i was lucky if i remembered to check up there. well, once every couple months i stick most of the mails i have in my "sinister" folder and put them into an archived folder. tonight, in order to find the "welcome to sinister" message, i had to look in the archive. anyway, i found about three posts from chris jones that had never been read. and i just wanted to apologize. i'm guessing they ended up at the top of the mailbox and i moved over the old stuff without checking for them, so, chris, if you're still on the list, i'm sorry i didn't read those posts. i'll do it tonight, i swear. -kerry -- "here i am, this is me. i am yours and everything about me, everything you see . . . if you only look hard enough." -tindersticks, "my sister" +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <002501c0bce8$b64b5a00$bc5c243e@itjfvkli> I vote for Jonzi D's face going on a stamp. Yesterday I went to the pictures and it was a film and it was quite good and it was State and Main, starring the bloke out of Happiness. You know, the one who has a wank and sticks a piece of paper with a phone number on it to the wall using his...erm...tubby custard as glue. NO, he didn't use his nob as a Pritt Stick. I'm copyrighting that idea for my own debut feature, Your Love is a Demilitarized Zone. Anyway, I'm sure Todd Slobberdosh chose B&S for the wank connection - top ten wanks, wank-sodden jim-jam cases, etc. I can't wait for those "HE'S BEHIND YOU!" Staurt David featuring Peacock Johnson in-stores. SD will come on and mumble for a bit before making his excuses and shuffling off to the toilet and then Peacock will come out and smack fuck out of everybody and then run off into the storeroom to look for cowering members of staff and then SD will come back out and shout, "What's happened? Wee Karn! Wee Karn! Call an ambulance! Call two ambulances!" and he will rush off looking for a phone and Peacock Johnson will come back, really angry this time, but everyone's already dead, so that'll be the end of that. And so on throughout the whole tour. Well, have a nice time those of you that are going to All Benicio Del Toro's Parties. Don't forget that nothing less than outright victory will suffice for the Sinister football team, whose slogan is BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, which includes spiking the opponents' Ribena. I'm sure a COME ON YOU WANK-SODDEN JIM-JAM CASE HUGGERS banner would help too. I'm reading a book called The Cash Nexus which discusses the capacity of weapons to "mete out murder". No doubt later it will claim that arms manufacturers and governments are "hand in glove", etc. etc. etc. I'd go on, but I can't think of anymore. I'm going to do a tape for Laura Llew that's so good it makes her car fall to pieces like a clown's.

Message-ID: <000b01c0bd05$14d407e0$8665a8ca@main> Hello all, After my first post tested the waters with trepidation, I figured I'd leave a little space between me and the outbox for a while. I've been spending my time over the last few days slowly piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. On the box is this lovely picture of a Swiss lake, and when I actually took the lid off and examined some pieces at random, I found that they were infact just varying shades of grey, with a little hue of this and a hint of that thrown in. For instance, the grass is green-grey, the sky is blue-grey, the roofs are red-grey and the mountains are the colour that you get when you mix every colour from a children's paint set together. Admittedly the box does show the picture a little bit smaller, and thus in focus, but nowhere on the box was there a warning saying "Warning: All colours are infact just varying shades of grey". All this pondering of placement of pieces within said puzzle got me a'pondering on matters more peripheral. Actually, I was just thinking about the human fascination with jigsaw puzzles. Why do people (including myself) feel the need to complete something that nobody in their right mind would bother with, when the picture that they're trying to create is on the lid of the box for their instant perusal? Is it like colouring by numbers? Do they think that once they've slotted that final piece in the sky, they can frame it and claim it as their own masterpiece? More likely it's one of two things 1) People who are too boring to leave the comfort of their own home to experience the unadulterated excitement and reckless abandon of watching paint dry on fence posts. 2) People who are so amazingly self-obsessed that they would neglect their own basic need for food, water and shelter if it meant they could finish that 10,000 piece circular puzzle of a blizzard in Alaska before any of their "friends". Luckily I fit into the first category. I'm only doing the puzzle because I'm unemployed, and plus The Lucksmiths told me to. It was one of those moments that occur from time to time when you draw inspiration from a song that happens to be playing, and decide to carry out some of its contained suggestions. Now I'm starting to regret ever pulling the damn thing out of the pile of board games, I should have been content with watching the fence post. Oh lord! If only I'd chosen the fence post! Well, all of the foreground (focussed parts) has been done, and now I'm working on the mountains and sky. For some unknown reason, the going has been getting gradually tougher as the hues accompanying the grey are steadily vanishing from the pieces. Soon all that will be left is an assortment of different shapes of grey to fill sky, mountain, lake, tree and perhaps a little field or town here and there. Hopefully I'll get a job before I start the next one. It's a Phantom of the Opera puzzle and it's 80% black.

Maybe aislers want to be like ree when they grow up? Anyway, Spaced, yay. Archel quoted the peacock blurb. I have a feeling that this is only half of the quote, which should read: The Peacock Manifesto is probably the best black comedy you'll read this year (as long as irvine welsh doesn't publish anything until after xmas). hohoho, only kidding. Some strange saaaaaaaaaaaarf laaaahndoner has already mentioned AnTisePtic, which saves me a job. Llaura llllew asked what made the carsmile. To which the simple answer is all you lovely people, innit :) She also mentioned porn about ten times, which has to be a good thing. I bet my mixtape would make miller's melt into a small pile of twisted plastic and whatever it is they make tape out of. Kerry reminisced about when it were all !P!O!P! and 70s WHO around here, and about honey being refered to as honey all the time now. I get much the same thing in that most ppl i know refer to me as carsmile (or carsmilesteve or mr carsmile), which i find very bizarre. Not quite as bizarre as why i persist in using it, as it's original use (to subliminally advertise some shocking third rate postbritpop band i was in, for those of you who didn't know) has been over for almost two years. It's not even like there are loads of steves about. I guess it's just cos it's a nice word, god bless yer, Mr Bolan. When i saw miller's (or should that be sister disco, if we're looking to the past today) subject i thought it said "and you will know us by the trail of ROD", but it didn't... I've got a two sided bagpuss jigsaw i got for xmas that i haven't even opened yet, cos it looks very hard, unlike the actual bagpuss i got for xmas which is very soooooooooooft and cuddly. I wonder if pontins have modern interweb connections... xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I've not posted before. Feel like i'm intruding a little. But I just thought I'd make my presence known to say some things and ask some things. 1. Ribena is very nice in all its flavours but the original is obviously the tastiest. none of that Toothkind nonsense either. 2. Reading fractions of stories, as they're being written, isn't especially easy. Or maybe I'm just thick. 3. Those of you who a. live in London, and b. are intending on going to AnTiciPate tomorrow - any requests? If you're still vertical at 1am, I'll be putting records on turntables for your listening enjoyment. Well, hopefully it'll be enjoyable. Oh, and if you don't live in London but are still AnTiciPating, don't feel left out... 4. If you're arriving at ATP on Friday with a raging hangover because of No.3, I'd recommend you go and see US Maple if you possibly can - any band described as "Beefheart meets Devo" must be worth a gander. 5. If you see anyone with a Strange Fruit badge on, smile sweetly and offer them a mini orange Polo. This applies to ATP and the rest of life too! 6. Anybody know anything about a band called Brighter Lunch? They're from Brighton and sound kinda like The Delgados with a bit of (errr) hip-hop thrown in. Oddly great. 7. I'm going now.

Message-ID: <20010404164701.9400.qmail@web10306.mail.yahoo.com> sinister-people, I just deleted 3 (count 'em, 3) big, fat, lovely digests because I haven't the time to read them; to assuage my guilt, I'm posting, more to reassure myself that sinister is still there than for any real reason like having interesting things to say, which is overrated anyway. was that the best run-on sentence ever, or what? I think writing a 3500-word essay on whether or not richard iii killed his nephews has made me temporarily sane. so I went to madame tussaud's wax museum in london this weekend, and it was really really scary, but quite ace. I particularly loved william hague, in all his shining-head-bug-eyedness. I went with a friend of a friend who I had met the night previous, and we purchased 'instant vicar' costumes, which featured 1. fake moustache 2. vicar collar and 3. vicar gold-framed glasses, with no lenses (but what can you expect for 4 quid?). I think we amused tourists and we got a nice australian lady to take our picture chillin' with john paul ii. other than that craziness, I'm going to stratford on friday, apparently to get really drunk and then see 'king john', which according to my friend sarah is the worst shakespeare play ever, and so we have to drink a lot and then the play will be loads more entertaining. I think that'd work for lots of stuff, really. I have a really bad crush on someone in one of my classes, and it's one of those crushes where whenever the person smiles you have to sit down. but he's way out of my league, not that I would do anything about it if he wasn't. being a life spectator is much more interesting, intellectual-wise, then, like, doing stuff. anyone agree? it's unfortunate that kissing is so fun, then. my god, I've turned into a 13-year old girl. I should go, but before I do, if anyone feels like being really nice and sending me fun things to see in dublin, I'd love you forever. I'm currently obsessed with 'love will tear us apart' by joy division. -eric the half a bee ps there are prolly spelling mistakes in here, so if you've noticed any (hell, if you've read this far), let it be known that I am aware. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Message-ID: <3ACB50E2.55D54853@students.stir.ac.uk> Hello sinisterians, Well I have just gained my voice so I thought I should come along and introduce myself. Well i'm a not-mature student (i.e. i'm not old, but then i'd hate to think I was immature) at Stirling called Christopher. I got in to Belle and Sebastian having heard "sleep the clock around" playing in the Glasgow Avalanche in Dundas Street during early 98. This is still my favourite record shop and the best i've ever found although I am increasingly disillusioned by the endless stream of 12years olds in black hooded tops trying to get their little paws on Nirvana albums and whatevers new and cool. Therefore I suggest that anyone who may think of visiting make sure that its not on a school holiday. Oh dear, I must sound like a right ole complainer already. So sorry. Well my easter holiday starts tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it greatly but i too am tormented by a dreadful jigsaw puzzle. My excuse is that i feel obliged to make it as it was a present from my mother. The picture is a lovely tiger number. Initially i thought oh great, this should be easy compared to the baked bean nonsense i was given for christmas but...all the pieces fit together. No really, this isn't a good thing. How can 1000 pieces of stripe and grass all so neatly interlock in so many wrong ways? How am i ever going to finish? i suppose that is a metaphor for everything, how do I finish? cheerie bye. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

This is just to get it off my chest, really. I've been having a bad week because I was called up as a juror in the High Court. For several days, I've been dressing up all posh in a suit -- well, my only suit -- to go up to court (it's only just along the street, really) and sit around doing nothing. They never actually got as far as wanting a jury, even, so my time was wasted. Each morning 30 of us would sit around in the courtroom, or outside the courtroom, or in the courtroom cafe, waiting for the wheels of justice to grind on, and just before lunch the judge would call us all in and explain that the case still wasn't ready for trial today. For some reason, all the seats in Scottish courtrooms are designed to be as uncomfortable as possible -- except the judges', of course. I assume this is meant to keep you awake. I was expecting that Parliament House -- which is where the Supreme Courts sit -- would be posh and shiny everywhere inside, but none of the fittings looked like they'd been replaced since 1952. This is one reason why I'm glad that I didn't have to sit on the jury in the end. The other reason i didn't want to sit, is that it was a *nasty* case. This little, white-haired old man, who sat outside the courtroom waiting with all the rest of us, was on trial for lots of charges of "Lewd and Libidinous Behaviour", which sounds like a night out on the piss, but in real language translates to incestous and occasionally paedophilic sexual abuse. I did *not* want to have to spend weeks hearing all about how this man spent 15 years interfering with his family. I didn't want to have to say "he did it" or, on the other hand, "you're lying" to his [alleged] victims. When we were waiting this morning, he was sat next to me, and I couldn't help wondering: are you lying? daren't you own up? why would people claim you did *that* if you didn't? I'm glad I won't get to know the answers. Still, now that's all over, and I get to go away on holiday for a bit. I shall entrust myself to the Great North-Eastern Railway and go and visit the parents for a bit. Getting all my meals cooked and cups of tea in bed should take my mind off of things for a bit ;-) I would say "are there any listees living in Grimsby who would like to meet up?" if i wasn't sure that there won't be any. Oh, except that Ms. Deller who was writing a dissertation about B+S fans or something. And I bet she'll be somewhere less boring instead. I bet there aren't even any listees living in Grimsby, Canada. And I don't even know what that place is like. I couldn't help wondering what a Sinister courtroom drama would turn out like. Who would be the judge, for one thing? Sinister, the police drama might work a bit better, though. All those New Yorkers for the gritty urban bits. Amy Jackson and John Maxwell could do a few scenic Highlands scenes in the Hamish McBeth style. I'm sure plenty of Londoners could do a few The Bill-style lines of dialogue -- "You're going DAAAAAAHHHHHHN, you SLAAAAAAAAAGGGG!!" And I've never met him, but I'm reliably informed that Ally Cook is scary enough to be Taggart. Princess Honey, of course, would be the damsel-in-distress who has to be saved-in-the-nick-of time every episode. We could keep tying her to railway lines, or something -- although for that, handlebar moustaches are of course *compulsary* for the villains. More scary things: I was out shopping in a bookshop today. I was looking through the Biography section, and this mad old homeless-type person was looking at all the pictures of people on the covers and trying to argue and shout at them. I was scared -- I always am scared of the mad alcoholic old men that you often see on the streets round here -- and had to hide in the Photography section until he went away. Mad alcoholic old men have an annoying habit of singling *me* out for abuse as i walk past them in the street. I can never understand how they can afford to buy so much Special Brew. Especially enough to make them try to talk to the pictures on the covers of books. Gah, I'm sorry for rambling on. See, you knew it wouldn't be worth reading this. xxx will -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: (Sin)ister(rific), Whilst riding the old underground public transport today, I thought about an a book I read last year called "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman (that Sandman Comic guy). Is it true there are stations that are old and closed that you go through on the way to other stations in the the London Metro? Is it also true that there are these mysteriously dark cars that pass by when you are waiting? The San Francisco Municipal Railway (http://www.sfmuni.com) is not as extensive as the London counterpart, but it does have lovely graffiti inside the tunnels. Anyhoo...just a stray thought. Laura Llew and "the Get Fresh Krew" have started a tape trading contest, and although there is no official word yet.....I believe that mixed compilations of other media varieties may have there own separate but equal(!) contest (damn southerners). Will Ms. Lawrah-Loo judge the cover art and presentation also? Cause I like to do pervy things with photoshop. (Just double-dawg-dare me!)

Is it also true that there are these mysteriously dark cars that pass by when you are waiting? In new york you can call up the transport museum in Brooklyn and ask to go on one of the tours of the disused stations and lines. It's not advertised, so I've been told, you just have to ask. Anyway, the guide has a special pass and you get on a normal train and he uses the pass to take over for a little bit from the driver. You drive on as usual, then he stops suddenly in the middle of a tunnel (I am driving in the middle of a rather funny tunnel... ) and opens the doors. You and he hop out, much to the amazement of the other passengers, and he leads you on foot on this magical mystery tour. He knows all the places to go - from the disused tunnels to the old stations that look like ancient ballrooms, with vaulted ceilings and chandeliers... Maybe the NY sinisterines should have their next picnic there? I read a kid's book once about a girl who was an only child of a single parent, and in the school holidays when she was bored and alone she used to obsessively ride the underground to see how far she could go on a Zone 1 ticket. She was interested in making as many different patterns with her journey as possible. I tried it once on the overground trains in South East London, but it just made me depressed. The book turns into a bit of a boring mystery story, but the image of her weaving her little webs of movement, weaving her life into the city system, stayed with me. ATP ho!! I can't wait. Only a few more hours, then me and the large pot of chicken stew I have made for our Chalet's 1st dinner will be en route!! Incidentally, anyone else who has been to atp before, and cooked, are there plates and pans and stuff already there?

I met someone from Belgium, once, but I don't think that counts. I asked one of the local big cheeses if I could go to a meeting in Brussels to avoid an awayday but apparently I was too much of a "chancing young scrote". Bugger! Now I seem to know the nicest hotels, some of the nastiest, where to go to get drunken Ministry officials to buy you drinks, the best chip shop in Brussels and where to go for yer English beer treats. (The Sabina, Le Grand Colombier, the Beer Circus, Maison d'Antoine, The Hairy Canary). BUT DO THEY PAY ME ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE TRAIN FARE OVER? Do they heck. Have any of you read the New York Trilogy? The first part features a young man - well less of the young - tramping all over the city, spelling out a word of some great big apocalyptic meaning in his own little world. I thought I'd mention it, as someone mentioned the story of a girl trying to make patterns on new fangled eletrical trains. Or steam trains. Or THIRD WAY TRAINS! How do you know if you're a tosser?

Somebody's got to catch me up here. I spent July 1999 - Jan. 2000 living in England and developed quite a taste for the local telly. I have to agree with those of you who've mentioned it, all favorably, that Spaced is absolutely brilliant. Probably the best TV comedy since...well, maybe ever. I watched nearly every episode of the first season which was quite a commitment since, as I remember, it was on Fridays (or maybe Saturdays, but definitely a night when I felt I would rather have been out). I can only pray it someday makes it over to the U S of A. I also quite enjoyed Eastenders and all this talk of who shot Phil Mitchell is really confusing. Hadn't he left the show? And if he's back is he back together with that lovely girl who used to be a prostitute? Is the show still centered around the Vic? It was to be sold wasn't it? What about that bastard that got Matthew sent up for murder? (I never did see if he got off or not although one of my neighbors had a hilarious window sign reading "Free the Walford One") Any help would be appreciated, rinaldo _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

It's called 253 and it's by Geoff Ryman. It's ACE! It's called 253 because there's 253 passengers on a tube train (including the driver) and there's a page devoted to each passenger. And each passenger has 253 words written about them. It's funny and sweet and ironic and sad and all the other words that people use about good books. It was originally an online book but I could never find the site that it was on. I think that you can tell a lot about a person from their favourite character in the book. And, in another list type thingy, it's concerned with coincidences and friendships formed by cute people going up to pther cute people on public transport and saying "hi". This has never happened to me and if anyone would like to recify this, I am to be found on the top deck of the number 54 bus quite often. I am the girl with frizzy hair reading a book, smoking a cigarette and carrying a nice little grey bag. But, if you're considering coming to the fair city of Leicester to cheer my up on a double decker bus, don't. We're all going to die of TB soon.

I do! I do! Gimme! All I know about the stations that are closed on the London Underground (not metro, that sounds bludy French) is that there's one called York Way between Caledonian Road and King's Cross where you can see a row of bright lights and a shadowy platform and my mother used to yell "York Road!" (sic) when we went through it when I was little(r). When I was a stoodent, I had a Glaswegian friend called Alexander who reckoned that Glasgow people HAD to be friendlier than London people as Glasgow people actually talked to one another on their underground whereas London people always kept silent on theirs. I've never actually been to Glasgow to see if this is true, but I promised myself I would put this right sometime this year and it will have to be the latter part of it as when I return from the Hashemite Kingdom I shall have NO MONEY. Having bought two Tortoise albums today I thought I'd better listen prior to leaving for atp - time is tight, the stress, the stress..... [leaves for room containing cd player] ........ [returns] Oooh, I like "Benway" on "Standards". The Make the Blurb as Confusing as Possible Award is duly awarded tho, and that's from someone who spent ages rotating the inlay card of the Beloved's "Happiness". Means I now own albums by 3 atp bands, others being yo la tengo & broadcast.

They creep up on you, doubts and insecurities, and wrap you in ivy and dry earth and pretend you're in the cold, cold ground. So today I'm in a spirit ditch, and dealing with it as best as I can. Mikey is out, I made him go. He wanted to stay and cuddle me and tell me that it was all okay, and I wanted him to stay, more than anything. but then I wanted him to go out and jump around and shake the cobwebs from his essay-wracked mind. So here I sit in the light of a computer screen, plucking at the ivy strands that hold me in my spirit ditch. Slowly, methodically, pulling at each fear, unravelling it. I know that it'll get twisted up again, and pull me back down here. Maybe next time it'll take longer to extract myself from the vines, maybe I'll shrug them off without a second thought. These things happen. Nick Drake is good music for getting out of a spirit ditch. Soft swells of violin and acoustic guitar are the finest secateurs. Tigermilk is the same. Perhaps it's the soft voice, or a certain key. I lack technical competence where music is involved. I had a botched operation in my ear as a child, which left my hearing impaired, and I hear music half an octave higher or lower than it actually is. Do you remember the black fox? There are new stories of her exploits, I'm thinking of posting them on the list. would anyone object to that? well, I've taken up far too much of your time already, I shall sit back and dust off my old will oldham albums, and watch out the window for foxes. julesx _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <008301c0be19$332cae80$0300a8c0@crockery> Laura Llew, I salute you. The greatest tape scam since the last tape tree, when all the tapes disappeared mysteriously into a black hole round south-east London way. Although I did hear that Juicy Lucy received my tape/CD recently, so maybe it is still going, but just has passed me by. It sounds so romantic, driving in the deep dark woods in deepest darkest, em, Utah. Kerry said she remembered when Honey was Paul. I do too, faintly, a long time ago now, and the change is to the good, I say. She'll be embarrassed at me saying it, though. As for poets, I have always loved John Donne. I used to think poetry was too hard and just a long way of saying something straightforward, but now, in my declining years, it is all I can do to keep my concentration for any length of time, and so I fool myself into thinking I have done something great by scoffing down five lines and then going for a sleep, or to plant some annuals. To all those going to ATP, have a lovely time, won't you, and if some kind soul feels like buying a Camber Sands ashtray (about £1.95p in the wee shop opposite the front gate) I will reimburse them eagerly.

Message-ID: hello what a strange week this has been. monday morning i half- heartedly rolled out of my bed and trudged to my drawing class. barely awake, i found myself in the elevator with a curious-looking man. it may have been his odd beaded leather jacket or the spooky look he gave me...he caught my attention immediately. when i arrived at my classroom, i sat down and began arranging my materials and waiting for the professor to set up a still-life composed of crumpled paper towels and toilet paper rolls, as he had done nearly every period thus far. i set up my drawing board, popped tigermilk into my discman, grabbed a conte, and looked up to see the creepy elevator man standing naked in the center of the room. his expression was stoic, his entire body was hairless, and he was holding a four-foot wooden rod in his extended left arm so that he looked something like a middle-aged poseidon in spectacles. his name was jerry. (i rather wished we had not been told his name...it was just all too personal when the professor said things like "why not try one bending over this time, jerry"...and especially when jerry came outside for a smoke with us during the break.) i know that as an aspiring artist i must be professional about such things---under normal circumstances i am quite fond of nudity, and i am grateful to jerry for his services-- -but it's easy to be a bit put-off when you're expecting balls of paper and instead find a strange man's naked hairless bottom staring you in the face at eight-thirty on monday morning.

Well here is a chance to do it all again, although sadly not involving our favourite popsters. Sorry Honey. A lot of you will have had an email about this from other people, as there is a concerted effort amongst japesters everywhere to make this work, so sorry for making you read about it again. Some of you may or may not know that it is Census time here in the UK again, where a friendly government employee comes round to your house and gives you a form to fill in full of probing questions about your personal circumstances. And the expressed threat on the front cover of a fine if you fail to tell grinning Mr Blair all about your personal details, or if you knowingly give inaccurate information. However, as it says, this does not apply to question 10 which asks what your religion is. You can safely put for question 10 any religion you wish. And here's the good part. If 10'000 people all put the same religion under 'Other Religions', it is officially recognised by HM government. So. If, for example, 10'000 people were all to put 'Jedi' down as their religion...... you get the picture, I'm sure. I think it's a triffic laugh, and have already filled my form out accordingly. So, if you think the government should be subject to the embarrassment of recognising 'Jedi' as an official religion, you know what to do. Tell your friends. Have fun. marko (Jedi). _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

A strange little part of me wants to be 16 again and wear funky shirts and ties. I bought some cigarettes the other day to de-stress me a bit but i wrote all over them and now i wish i hadnt. Im weird like that. I also decided one evening that adidas were pants, so i picked off two of the stripes. I was gonna do all of them but it turned out that the stripes actually held the shoe together. so a bit of advice: if you are like me and have strange convulsions of thought, buy some bubble wrap instead, it will save misery in the long run.

I'm annoyed, well, more sad and lonely than anything else. I'm going to be playing 'Guess how much I love you' by The Lucksmiths for a while now, mainly for the lines "The lonliness of a long distance phone call', 'I'm miles away and missing you already', 'You said I'll see you soon, but I won't see you for ages' and 'Here's you, here's me, draw a line between the two... on a map the gap's three fingers, but it's more than that'. As I was writing that, I was about to switch to the song, but it came on anyway. Bear in mind I have 45 songs on my winamp list and it's set to random... it's strange how many coincidences have happened recently. First the dream, then this... and several things in between.

I had to do a public speaking competition, and I didn't win. That would be because it was public and involved speaking. Oh, and I got another hard-kid head injury. I thought I was doing pretty well this year, I've only been put in hospital 3 times, and I've only been knocked out once, which is good going. This time it was from a gobstopper, you know the big ones. But it wasn't too bad, I got my vision back pretty quickly and I managed to say 'piss off' to all the people who'd crowded round to laugh at the fact that I'd fallen backwards into a bush which is obviously really funny when someone is quite dazed and can't see and is trying not to cry. That not seeing part always frightens me, one time it'll happen and I just won't be able to see ever again. Still, I got the usual "if you grass I'll kick you in" but my blonde friend dragged me to the head, and I got sent home, and it was all highly fun, honest. Besides, I'm much more scared of my blonde friend, because she's a dominatrix (i'm serious). She keeps getting me to call her mistress, but when I do I'm being sarcastic. Only sarcasm isn't something I'm very good at. Which is probably why she tried to sell me to Igor, and keep the money. It's not that I object, it's just that I like to know when people are selling me, what with it being me and everything. I'm unreasonable that way. Tonight I went to a fantastic (that was sarcasm) Rage Against the Machine/ Offspring tribute night at the local goth club, because I'm weak and easily persuaded by my friends. So prepubescent boys jumped about with three quarter size Encore guitars, and squeaked "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" and "Burn mother fucker burn" over and over again for 2 hours then they had to go home to their mummies. And I sat up the back on the bar worktop reading catcher in the rye and feeling horribly old because I wasn't 12 and in a mosh pit, and not many people bothered me, except the Blonde who was in a really bossy mood, and kept dragging me off to the toilet to fix her hair and her eyelashes. Oh yeah and someone showed up drunk and I had to stop her getting her head kicked in. Then at the bus stop it was raining and all my friends who were boys were mating with hard kid girls who'd just come out a nightclub. And I was humming that song that goes "fuck you I won't do what you tell me" and the Blonde said "Yes you fucking will or I'll slap you" so I looked at my tartan boots until the bus came and I went home myself. The slow version of seeing other people is grate. It sounds like everyone in the band is really tired, and you want to tuck them all up in bed because they're nice. Especially Chris Geddes, because he's so little and nice. I got phoned up at 3 o clock the other night from Igor who wanted to tell me that a rabbit called Tarquin with a man's head told him the meaning of life. But he told me that already. I worry for him, he takes too many drugs, and he's still young like me. He also likes Liz Hurley(s having dreams). Which I don't understand because she's yucky and a moke, but she still managed to get Hugh Grant who has floppy hair. Ian Hatcher's coming up tomorrow to stay for a week, and he's nice and lovely, and I'm going to an Aislers gig which should be fun. I'm all bouncy cause of that and the fact that I keep forgetting to eat but take painkillers anyway, which is really terrible, but nevermind. I'll write on the back of my hand "eat microwave pasta from Marks and Spencers" because that's all I ever eat. I want to eat bacon double cheeseburgers, but they kill cows and pigs to make them, and that's not very nice, and makes me want to cry a bit. Today I jumped out of the window in Science for a laugh and stole some purple chalk. I also dogged half of school, but it was the last day anyway, before we break for easter. I should go and stop wasting all your valuable time.

Message-ID: <3.0.6.32.20010407022018.009ced08@pophost.aber.ac.uk> Hello to all, I hope that you're feeling fine... ...unless you enjoy feeling melancholic, in which case I hope that it's raining and you're feeling a little alone. Well I'm writing my second post to the list ever from a little 24 hour computer room. I haven't been here in a while, as last time I was there seemed to be dried blood on the wall, and I didn't like that. However, it seems to be entirely better now, there are little notes from other students telling you what doesn't work in a friendly way. The blood has gone; there's even a folder with a picture of a sunflower taped onto it at the back of the room (I have just sent a quick message to the owner to tell her where it is). I'd like to give a big apology to anyone that wrote to me that I didn't get back to... I was hit by deadlines all at once... I'm incredibly rude and forgetful in my correspondance sometimes... however, all the essays are into my tutors now, and the books are read... being back on track I'm going to try to catch up. Any of you fellows in the Yorkshire area, especially anyone near Harrogate... I'm about to return hom for Easter for three weeks. I hope there are some good gigs on anyway. Apaarently Clearlake are playing Leeds on the 17th, so I might try to get along to that (though I may have to travel the next day). I've been listening to their new album (Lido) recently and I have to say it's grate, after three listens I was very much grabbed. I'm incredibly lucky in that I write for my uni's magazine, and the fellows in charge decided that I could write the music bits (despite owning a digereedoo). They made me music editor even though I questioned their choice. Now I sometimes get sent nice things now my music type people, which I'm very happy about. Lido was one of those. Have you ever been to a place that made you think of Belle and Sebastian, somewhere that just felt right for it? I hope that you have. I hadn't until two days ago, and then I found one. We were out to celebrate my friend Tom's birthday and we'd all decided to do this by going on a café crawl, he's rather fond of cafés. We stopped into one called the Blue Creek Café (in Aberystwyth) where someone had been before. It was just Belle and Sebastian all over, something about the decoration. It had polished pine floors, pine tables, cushions everywhere and even fairy lights (although it was very bright in there anyway). It was very small... airy yet intimate, it felt like being in a friend's flat; I don't really know what it was, I'm not describing it incredibly well, but the place really conjured up the Belle and Sebastian feel for me. The staff where really friendly and there were games such as connect four to play and magazines to read. We ended up staying in there until closing... all of us drinking vanilla tea, chatting and reading. Near the end of our stay I spotted Hot Ribena on one of the chalkboards and got incredibly excited (thinking of all you fellows) I ordered one immediately and was transported back to my childhood, remembering that hot ribena is the best drink ever after a walk on a cold Autumn day (I love Autumn and anything that reminds me of it is trully grate). They also serve Sushi, which I've always wanted to try but never had the chance to, I loved that as well. Anyway, I was so entirely stuck by it's Belle and Sebastianicity that I had to comment to the owner as I settled up... She pointed to the CD rack where Belle and Sebastian CDs were hidng, nestled amongst the others, and told me that they usually played lots of Belle and Sebastian, but had the radio on today instead. Had the tables and chairs absorbed that magic somehow, or had the owner instinctively created that feeling as the sort of person who likes Belle and Sebastian might. My parents came to visit today (they're taking me home from uni tomorrow, though it'll be back to the train for the next few trips here and back). I took them there as I'd liked it so much, and later mentioned it to my Dad (who is slowly becoming a bit of a fan) He knew exactly what I meant. I didn't know how the feel had been created, but it was certainly quite wonderful. If the owner or anyone who works there is on the list, then I say a fond hello. Well, do I have any other news... hmmm. In my last post I mentioned the Girl that looked like a Belle and Sebastian fan, but was scared when I told her. She bounded up to me a few days later and said Hi and asked if she could borrow some... so I leant her the albums, and the EPs, and even the means to play them. She listened for serveral days and she really liked them. We had a few really good chats and everything was going well. Then I lost her for a few days and so things went not so well. I found her again today and we had another grate chat, there was certainly some flirting but she might just be a flirty person, and besides... I'm going home for three weeks tomorrow and so is she, and they are rather far apart. Right then... That's enough about my life for now.... thankyou very much for reading you fellows. Speak to you all soon. Love and Such.

My name is Holly, I'll be thirteen in a couple of months. I realize I'm probably a bit young for this mailing list, but it might comfort you to know that I don't get a chance to read through most of the messages. I must say that it's a nightmare when I don't check my e-mail for a few days. My sister introduced me to Belle and Sebastian almost two years ago. We listened to If You're Feeling Sinister. At first, I didn't know what to think. Truth be told, I didn't like them much at all. However, my sister kept inviting me to listen to them, and I was too chicken to refuse. I didn't really think that I liked them all that much until I found myself humming the tunes to various songs. One day, I was listening to the CD, and I realized how much I liked Judy and the Dream of Horses. Long story short, they became my favorite band. Sixth grade was a pretty kicked back year. My teacher, who is retiring this year, was 70 and gave everyone As, even if they didn't do any of the work all year. The work in class was easy, and I always finished early. So, over the course of nine months, I fill a whole notebook of B&S song lyrics, and drawings of what I picture when I listen to certain songs. For my last birthday, my sister made me a tape of Belle and Sebastian songs. I listen to them everyday after school on the bus and on the way home. The following is a memory I'm going to submit to the Jeepster site, if they ever fix whatever problem their having with their site. One day, at the beginning of the school year, I found myself waiting for the bus in the rain. At that point, I didn't know any of other kids (mainly boys) who rode my bus, because they rarely spoke to me. I was just the short girl with the instrument. Anyway, everyone was cold, wet, and miserable. I looked at the bench next to the bus stop, and the line, "Lazy Jane, all the time/Painting lines/You are sleeping at bus stops/Wondering how you got your name/And what you're gonna do about it" came to mind. I found myself smiling involuntarily, as I always do during this song. My smile only widened when I saw that everyone else was looking at me as if to say resentfully, "What's she so happy about?" After I decided to bring my walkman and tape of Belle and Sebastian songs to listen to on the way home, I've always hoped that it would rain on a day when Lazy Line Painter Jane came on, just so I could smile, while everyone else miserably braved the rain and cold. Well, I think I've bored you long enough.

I just finished reading 'Nalda Said', by everybody's favorite ex-B&Ser. What a good book. Although, I was all pumped up for a happy ending and instead...nothing. Thank you Stuart David. Still, quite a cute little book, I can only hope Peacock Johnson is half as good. I also just (relatively) finished watching the most Belle & Sebastian movie every made. It's called Emporte-moi (Set me Free) and it's a French Canadian film about a 13 year old girl growing up in the 60s in French Canadia. Anyway, it encompasses just about every theme you'll find in a B&S album. It's kinda difficult to find though as it's in French (one strike against for most rental places) and it's Canadian (and I'm told French people really hate the French Canadian accent). Go rent it if you can. Or buy it, it's great. I've seen it three times now over the past few months. I'd just like to give a shout out to all the new peeps on Sinister. Welcome Holly and Kirstin (I'm sure there are more, but I've already moved those messages to my backup). Hmm, thats about all I've to say, I've been pretty boring lately. Spending all my time reading about religion, and writing about religion, and then discussing about religion.

The black fox was sprawled on the sofa. Karma was curled up in a tight yellow ball beside her, fast asleep. She was just starting to doze off when there was a crash from the kitchen. Karma sat up with a yelp. -Wha? He gasped, his fur paling to cream. The black fox slid off the sofa and edged towards the kitchen. The cupboard doors were wide open. and the floor was carpeted with cornflakes and pasta twists. Something was scrabbling around inside the cupboard, knocking over jars and bottles. There was a strange smell of syrup and earth. Karma sidled up beside the fox and looked at the damage. A bag of rice flew out of the open cupboard, smacked against the opposite wall and burst open, spraying basmati all over the sink. -I hope that isn't a rat, Karma said nervously. ~I know who it is, the fox said, scowling. She stormed into the kitchen and jumped up onto the table and barked at the cupboard. The scrabbling stopped, and a small twisted face appeared from behind the chickpeas. It was about the size of a cat, with matted brown fur and a long, spiney tail. ~Spriggin, the fox sighed. The spriggin leaped out of the cupboard, sailed over the fox's head and landed clumsily on the cooker. The fox and the spriggin turned to face each other. -Hey Fooka, it cackled. ~You've trashed the place! If Jubilee finds you, she'll tear you a new.. -Fox, Karma interrupted. The fox glanced at him. -What is that? The fox looked back at the spriggin. ~An absolute pain in the arse. The spriggin sniggered. -What? A fairy> The spriggin snarled at karma and threw a pasta twist at him. It bounced off his nose and he jumped back, keeping as much doorframe between himself and the creature as he could. The black fox snapped her jaws sharply, the click of her teeth catching the spriggins attention. ~What do you want? The spriggin waved its scrawny arms at her. -Fooka, wanna cho-pah. The fox frowned at the spriggin. It bounded onto the floor and snatched up a length of dried spaghetti. It waved the pasta around it's head, stabbing at imaginary foes until it snapped. the spriggin threw it down in disgust. The fox watched the display curiously. Karma peeked into the kitchen again and the spriggin threw another peice of pasta at him, he ducked out of sight again. The fox growled at the spriggin, who glared sulkily back at her. She glanced back at karma. ~You okay? -No. There's a darth maul rat hitting me! ~darth maul? The fox laughed suddenly. She remembered the last time she saw the spriggin, weilding a chopstick like a lightsaber. ~A chopstick, she said. The spriggin bounced up and down enthusiastically. The fox gestured to a pot of wooden spoons and spatulas on the sideboard. The spriggin sidled over to the pot, glanced at the fox, then knocked it over, sending cutlery flying. The fox jumped at the spriggin, but he snatched up a chopstick and scrambled up the wall. The fox barked at thje creature, who turned back to her and grinned lecherously at her, before dissapearing through an impossibly small crack in the wall. The fox glared at the crack in the wall. -I'll get the vacuum cleaner, karma said quietly. The fox nodded her head absently. -Fox? ~Mmm? -What's a 'Fooka'? ~A Phooka? It's like a fairy. It disguises itself as a horse or bird or something, and persuades people to ride its back, whereupon it throws them about the place, giving them the fright of their life, and unceremoniously dumps them in a puddle, and runs of laughing. Why d'you ask? Karma swallowed nervously. -It's kinda appropriate... But nicer, he said hastily. The fox licked karmas ear affectionatly. ~I'll take that as a compliment. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Oh yeah and the chalet rep had his own CDs which included Jeff Buckley (nice!) and Rage Against the Machine (RAWK!). He was proof you don't have to be smiley and outgoing to be a holiday rep. Hmmm... 75 posts to read - afraid I deleted anything that looked ATP related as I wasn't there and I wanted to see Lambchop and it would have made me go "WAAAAGGGHHH!!!!".

When I was much younger of course I glamourized being grown up, thinking i could do whatever I wanted, when ever I wanted. But as the story always goes, as you get older you get the long dreaded responsibilities and more than anything else, just dont have the energy to skip through the rain on the way home anymore. How persepective changes. A while ago I realized that I've gotten too grumpy. i must take advantage of still being young, and having the advantage of being taken seriously more or less in the tall world. I admit, I'm still just a freshman in high school. I'm not aloud to complain yet, but I do have my share of going to the most esteemed and difficult academic school in NYC, and then working 4 out of the 5 weekdays until about 9 o'clock, and coming home to find my brother (a second term senior) sleeping in my bed (he doesnt go to school much any more I guess) telling me that he's lonely and won't i tell him a story or crab fight with him. I love him and I dont know what i will do when he goes to college, but i find myself being so resentful of him recently. ugh. i'm acting like my parents and i'm only 15 years old. Anyways, back to my point. vacations. i have a week off. last vacation i tried to do something new every day. I realized that it really is true that if you wanna do something alls you gotta do is get up off your unenthusiastic ass, and go somewhere. I found myself hitch-hiking around down-town brooklyn, in the back of big grocery delivery trucks quite a bit (not wanting to go TOO far, in order to be home for dinner). Oh, and i went up to the top cabin of the Staten Island Ferry and pulled the little lever that blows the fog-horn, and then chilling out with the ... well I guess they're sailors.. they didnt act like sailors. sailors look more like pirates. anyways, very wholesome activity. I suggest it if you find yourself in a ferry any time soon. Right.. so what was i talking about. OH YEA, ok so I want to take advantage of the fact that i'm not a crusty old tired woman yet, but also that I have quite a bit of freedom these days. Perhaps i should build a hut in the woods in prospect park and sit in it for a while. What I really wanna do is jump on a freight train to Canada. I have a canadian that I would like to visit very much. First of all, i dont know where a freight yard is (I could find that out) second of all I dont know which way is north (I could ask my mom), and third of all, i have to be home for dinner. my parents dont approve of hitchhiking, and freight train hopping, and all kinds of fun stuff like that. on a last note, i would like to make it public that Danny Elfman is a genious and I think he should run for president, or ride around on an elephant all the time or something. If you dont beleive me, listen to the Ice Dance by him from edward scissorhands.

Now it seems ages to me since I last post. I'd ment to several times, but my leg got caught in some tangly lurker bramble, and the lovely sinister village was nothing more than a skyline on the horizon. Now I'm sure my listcrush untangled me, and I've just been moved to post by the strangest belle and sebastian dream ever. It began on a stage that was set up with the instuments of my favorite local band, Rane. Isobel and Stuart were there, trying with great difficulty to get a cello around the percussionist's equipment. Stuart looked up and said "Hello, we're two members of Belle and Sebastian." Then Isobel looked up for a moment and just said, "Oh, hi." They continued struggling with the cello while a very official voice in the background talked about the musical "groups" that created such hits as Sur le Point d'Avignon, and I'm a Little Tea Cup. Then the two gave up on the cello and proceeded to play People Lose Their Pants in Mexico with great gusto on the marimbas. Now I'm not convinced that this is a real song. It was taught to Robby Boscarino by his grandfather, and subsequently taught to me by my brother. Anyhue, the official voice then went on to discuss why the aforementioned "groups" had troubles, never acheived the success of their first hits again, and broke up. Then a littl! ! e tagline showed saying somethin g like "Earnestly trying to foster originality." This dream was so realistic that when I woke up I felt like posting and saying "Did anyone see the ad with Isobel and Stuart? Strange...very strange indeed...

Had a GRATE time, wish you had all been there. Actually I don't really, as that would have made it even harder to get a seat in The Queen Vic. ListMummy Honey you should be proud of us for upholding the tradition of having one or more fragrant Sinisterines present to defend our usual corner at all times when the pub was open. Not closing the bar until 5 a.m. is *such* a great idea~. Sadly there was no football competition organised this year so I think that Sinister F.C. retains the title by default. The only footie I saw was on TV in the bar & after the chalet party, on the beach at about 7 o'clock on Sunday morning (If the format of this post is reminiscent of last year's then please forgive me. Old people repeat themselves without realising it.) I think just highlights for now, in no particular order. Possibly more later. PRIMA CHALET RINA We had the bestest chalet of course, so thanks to Ally, Carey, Chris, Gav, Jo, Lucy and Sally for making it such a fantastic weekend. They brought so much vodka that some of it had to be made into jelly. We were so reluctant to part that we didn't leave Camber Sands until after 2 p.m. today. Mwah! IS JENOWL REAL? She was until the hard kids got her. (Message on board) MONGED OFF HIS TITS I'll leave that one out. SMELL YOUR MAW I look forward eagerly to Ken applying the lessons he got from Jo in Glaswegian swearing. ALL TO MOORO'S PARTY Impress the neighbours by having an all night party & then throwing them out of it. It was GRATE though, good company, espresso cocktails, jelly slurping competitions, a Foxgloves+ gig in my bedroom, a Beatles, Stones, Billy Bragg, Smiths, Morrissey, et al singalong in the main room & then the beach. Your correspondent even caught himself singing along to a couple of Magnetic Fields songs. Sorry. DRUMS ON FIRE Didn't see too many bands. Tortoise won, Broadcast were close runners up. The Sea And Cake were good but unfortunately I was only able to see the last couple of numbers as they clashed with Lambchop (who were OK - playing such a quiet set would succeed in somewhere like the Queen Elizabeth Hall but not against the noise of several hundred people chattering at the bar.) Calexico were, well, interesting. There were a couple of excellent DJ sets in the pub. Sadly I didn't see the Chris Geddes & Andy Symington ones. WE LIKE TO TUNE SO MUCH MORE THAN WE LIKE TO PLAY Said Tom Verlaine of Television. I have no concept of irony so I took him at his word and went back down to the pub. DUELLING GUITARS There was a lot of brilliant music played in chalets. Thanks to Gav, Joe, Trousers, Tim, Ally, Carey, Richard, Martin, Sean and anyone else who entertained me with excellent songs & covers. SHAKE SOME ACTION Phil danced/had booty everywhere, & drew crowds at DDR. Ken & Martin did too (also). Le Troussé in comedy shades & poodle wig in the pub. CAMERA OBSCURA 's new album sounds good - can't wait to get a copy. Single Eighties Fan (out soon!) has a lovely wall of sound arrangement courtesy of one Stuart Murdoch & I can't get it out of my head today.

ATP I didn't go, but I know a man who did. I told him to find Struan for me and get him to autograph some Ribena and talk nicely, but he didn't of course. Apparently there was no football. Why not? We need to prove that pasty people really do rule. GOATS There are some down the road from me (I live in the countryside which most people at my university don't seem to be able to grasp the concept of; "Why have you never ordered a pizza before then?")

Just got back from ATP, and it was rather nice. Thursday night went to London and AnTiciPated ATP by going to the AnTiciPate thingie at upstairs at the garage, and passed out on the stage in style. (a erm.. sleepy style) Friday got there with chalet daddy Carsmile, Mrs Carsmile, Calumn Debbie, Lixi and Phil and queued up for ages, then we discovered the pub, and sat in the pub for ages, then we discovered (gasp) a DDR machine, and we played that for ages. Met up with a lot of people who were very nice, and got quite drunk, but I got wise and was drinking Vodka and Red Bull rather than beer, so I stayed up for ages but didn't beat Carey who done sinister proud by being the last person out of the pub. Saturday erm, went to the pub, after discovering the beach, met up with more people and got even more wise and smuggled in Gordon's gin and drunk that with private Red Bull which costed 1 pound rather than 3423 pounds. Then went to the prima chalet donna and learnt how to swear at people in Glaswegian, and I think practiced by swearing at a lot of people in Glaswegian (sorry :-)). Sunday, I think, I er went to the pub then played bowling and that was fun, and then stayed there and watched gigs, after that stayed at the pub and looked very lost and confused after being very lost and confused, and swore at some people some more until the eventual end when we all got thrown out of the pub. Monday got back to London and spent a fun time at the George and sung along to some wee guitar tunes before finally getting home in yeeeerk Milton Keynes. The gigs were quite nice.. I was the only one I think who actually enjoyed silly 5 minute long guitar wanking by Yo La Tengo so I guess it says a lot about how good they were. Thank you for everyone who was there for making it suuch a fun weekend which is like the most fun I've ever had for ages, even those of you who were complete bawbag neds who should foock rright orrf back home and drink buckfast, bluddy dingers. ;) Fun Weekends and Red Bulls Ken ====================================================================== Say cheerio to books now, the only things you'll read are faces. - Belle & Sebastian +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <8a.503e639.280411fd@aol.com> fellows, i was rather suprised to see that my random, blind groping for human contact (ie. my last post) was met w/ a reaction. just as i was packing to head for my isolation cave, to live w/ a pack of gerbils, and never to see another human again, i recieved a number of emails from you sinister people. am i saying sinister has restored my faith in the human race? perhaps. i think it might be less pretentious to say sinister people are just real nice. oh, and to those that messaged me and were face w/ replies of sentence fragments and overall nervousness, my apologies. i'm currently reading "friendly flirting w/ cute indie rockers over the net". it was on oprah's book club. after this i'll be all set w/ witty and enticing comments. i was just listening to b&s. walking around jersey, at around 2am, taking random pictures w/ my digital camera. "wait," i thought. "this is far too stereotypical." i quickly put on a-ha, and began jogging instead of my usual slow plugging along. yes, it wasn't long until i collapsed and passed out to the sounds of programmed beats and synthesisers. but, haven't we all? ah. i just wanted to thank everyone. if you're all like the sinister girl that i've had the pleasure of talking to, then you're all amusing, intelligent, and cute. so you should all email me. i need to fall in love about 1500 times within the next week. yes, i'm only half joking. love, pete. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Another good place that I forgot to mention is Buzzwords. Of course I would never dream of commenting on list content, it's not allowed. But I personally would like any stories sent into the list to at least have dirty bits in them. So that would be what's written on the scrunched up bits of paper - more filth please. Thanks to Dave and Ken for the ATP reports. You guys rock. Who went to the Glasgow gig? 100 person capacity venue - just about enough for all the bands' friends at a push. I bought an album by someone called Elephant Man in honour of OOooOOOooon. My favourite lyric, in fact the only one I understand, is "Elephant Man, Elephant Man, does whatever an elephant can". As Jimmy Nail would say, "you're lying". Elephant Man looks as if he's got ladybirds in his hair.

Like I said in the mail before I sent that story, I have a few rough drafts of stories, not actual, finished things that can go in a library. So i figured I'd send them to the list and get peoples responses and see how I'm doing. I did this on the list last year and it went down really well, and I got a lot of positive response, which really helped me with my writing. That was the whole point. So now I'm in a quandry, as I'd hate to be the cause of list bickering, and I wonder if I should stop posting fables.

Hello sinister land, I've started my mail this time with such a sinister way wouldn't you say? I guess all of you know where this comes from, but do any of you know who Severin was, besides Siouxsie's boyfriend! Oh now, don't give away your goth past. Poor Siouxsie, what could she do? what could any girl do after a Syd? I have to say that, Syd was the aristocrat of punk! he messed up with an american girl and he was f***ed! Severin and Wanda, lovers and enemies in Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's "Venus in Furs"; roles keep changing, who's the master who's the slave? No my dearest bunnies, I'm not into s&m, I don't like this kind of stuff! in my humble (remind me to erase that word from my vocabulary next time) opinion, pure, true, eternal love is the most extreme thing in the world! Severin and Wanda! Poor Sacher-Masoch! he died misunderstood! he wrote great novels, you know; not pornographic ones! I love him dearly because he is the only author I can think about who could romanticise pervesion! His name will stay in history as the one who invented masochism! how pathetic! Like Marquis de Sade will remain in history as the inventor of sadism! I can't really connect the two! there's a photograph I love, Andre Breton lying down on De Sade's grave! Severin and Wanda! why all this rambling you might ask! Why indeed? I don't know myself!I was just listening to the Velvets making these thoughts; the Velvets! such a great band! but Warhol, what a tosser! Picasso was a tosser too, or like Jonathan Richman would say "an arsehole"; he'd say an asshole really but I think arse is a much better word! I think he had (Picasso) this greediness ugly poor people have when they get a little money in their hands! Oh where are the novel souls? Anyway enough with this, let's get into saucy stuff! So, I was listening to the Velvets when Aunt Myrtles walked into my room! I was just lying there on my back wearing a white silk slipper making stories in my head about Severin and Wanda. She looked at me "Pauline, do I have to remind you that we're having guests for dinner tonight and you're still in your underwear? and what's this horrible music?" I looked at her, thinking of my poor dad, spitting the words through my teeth "bloody ugly turtle!" she stared at me and asked me what had I said "I'll be ready in 15 minutes, aunt dearest". We were having a dinner party, another one! Fortunately, Lati and Violette would be there too! Althea and Daniel as well! My darling Violette's a bit low after this whole story with Gilbert in Switzerland! remember? I told you there was something about him; a certain depravity... well, guess what happened! he was in s&m and Violette of course being the most demure girl ever freaked out when he started telling her about whips and mistresses and things like that! But anyway, there I was in my bedroom standing in front of my wardrobe thinking of what to wear! Someone knocked on my door; it was Lati and Violette; they told me that John Francis Kendall the slimy stalker from Philadelphia was going to be at our dinner party! I raised my eyes to the sky - ceiling actually - and wondered out loud "why God? what have I done to deserve this?" Lati and Violette bursted out in laughter and I looked at them all angry but then I started laughing myself... "we can have some fun tonight after all", I said! Violette blushed, Lati raised her eyebrow! She loves all these mad things I make them do! she seems reluctant at first but then she follows! Where as with Violette, well, we need to try hard into talking her into anything! So, I took my slipper off and thought no underwear! I chose a midi black dress with a huge V-neck and put my silver sandals on! Lati and Violette looked at each other! We went down the stairs and the gentlemen stood up of course and helped us sit down! I felt John's lupiform hands on my waist! I thanked him by nodding! he smiled! I looked at him! Aunt Myrtles looked so happy sitting on the top of the table! she stretched her writhled neck and looked at John and then me! I knew what she was up to! she wanted me to marry the american werewolf! I thought "Oh Severin, Severin, I wish you were here"! Oh Severin, where are you? John leaned over and asked me with his horrible accent "did you say something, darling?" Darling? Darling? I looked at him with fiery eyes "don't ever call me that again! have you been to a doctor lately? you look weird! something's happening to you? can it be colluvies?" He looked at me and giggled! he had lettuce on his teeth! I don't think he knew what colluvies was! To cut a long story short, the dinner was over! men went to the other room to smoke and drink brandy and we stayed at the living room! Violette was playing the piano and I was so bloody bored! there was this DJ-set by some friends of ours in the city and I wanted to go! I told Lati, she nodded! we went over and stood by the piano and persuaded Violette to follow us; we told aunt Myrtles we were going for a walk in the garden; Theodor came with us! So, we jumped in the car and drove to the city! it was great! lots of people, music, no americans around! we were a bit over-dressed but hell who cares! We ordered some drinks and stood there in the middle of the club! I was dancing and dancing; then I felt someone behind me... pressing against me. I didn't turn! No, my little indie bunnies, I didn't turn! I just loved the sensation; his body against mine! I whispered "Severin?" and he whispered in my ear "don't turn your head; don't look; stay still"! I promise you! that's exactly what happened! and I stood still, well as still I could stay really; it was a bit difficult for obvious reasons! All I could do was listen to his breathing, feeling his hands over me! it was really so overwhelming! Then I saw Lati and Violette looking at me with that expression on their faces!that of utter horror! I smiled! I turned my head and saw him! I knew this guy! I'd seen him before but never talked with him! He knew who I was! He was playing music and he was DJing at this party too! He was studying art at the same school with my friend Constance for a while! and I heard so many stories about him! I looked at him and asked him how he dared; and you know what the arrogant bastard said "I thought you'd want me to show you a thing or two... from a working class perspective!"!! Yes my lovely daisies!! that's exactly what he said!! I dashed towards Violette and Lati and told them we had to go! I can't possibly tell you how angry I was! So we went back to the house! we all went in Theodor's bedroom, that's where we usually have our meetings and told them what that arrogant bastard told me! and moreover what he did!! They started laughing! Lati said "Oh Pauline, can't you see? you're falling in love!" Falling in love? I have never been in love before! not really that is! and then I smiled! I thought "Severin! Morganatic! Aunt Myrtles!" And to be honest with you my dearest sinister, yes, I'm going to get this guy! one way or another, I'm gonna get him! like a famous not-real-blonde would say! For the time being though, I have to deal with aunt Myrtles and her desire to see me married to John the slimy! oh dear! what am I going to do? That same night that all these things occured, I went to bed thinking of "Severin" and the "working class perspective"; as I was drifting off I heard the door opening; next thing you know, I felt some sweaty hands all over me! I turned the lamb by my bed on and I saw this filthy creature trying to get under my covers! I started screaming and cursing and Theodor dashed in my bedroom! and the filthy bastard (John) had the cheek to tell me that it had to happen one day anyway I'd end up in his bed as I couldn't possible go against aunt Myrtles' wishes! Theodor, being calm, asked him to leave the room at once and never dare to try something like that again! and then calmed me down as I was shivering in disgust saying that his mum (Myrtles) would kick the american out once we told her what had happened! well, I hope that will be the end of John Francis Kendall! He has all this money, yes, but aunt Myrtles is a european aristocrat after all! She'd rather have her dignity and name intact than all this money! I hope so at least! That night I dreamt of Severin and dancing with Syd Vicious in the rain and then Syd left and Severin and I went back to our castle when he exhibit the "working class perspective" under Aunt Myrtles' ancestors portraits! Can that be an omen? I wonder Pauline L. Shivers that makes sinister all quivers she's that aristocratic slag who lives and reigns in Prague __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Message-ID: Mes petite-amis, I emerge from my weeks long, self-imposed period of mourning for my beloved Maryland Terrapins, who's season was mercilessly cut short by a washed-up team of Duke Blue Devils who seemed entirely too chummy with the officiating staff. It was horrible. Young men cried. Women screamed and fainted. Expensive vases were thrown. Much liquor was drank. Curses were leveled at a particular power forward with unsightly ridges in his scalp. A part of me died. Ahhh... I fear this past basketball season has gotten the best of a fellow listee, one Todd Matthew Herrmann, who has not been seen nor heard from in several months. I believe his ex-compatriots at the University of Maryland's aerospace engineering department have made plans to shoot his confettied remains into space, along with several chimpanzees and Steve Gutenberg. All in the name of science. Indian food. Yum. Hot. I had "chicken breast covered in a very spicy curry sauce" on a date this weekend. It turned out to be freakin' nuclear. After three heapin' mouthfuls I almost puked on my date. Not good. Then I started sweating really bad, but I played it off alright. I think she knew, and I probably lost all semblance of manlines right there by being brought to my knees in the middle of a fancy restaurant. Oh well. I got her pretty drunk later and we listened to Miles Davis on the ride home. So what in the hell is going on with Belle and/or Sebastian? I thought 2001 was supposed to be chock full of concerts. Well folks, its 1/3 over and we don't even have DATES yet! Perhaps Struan has secretly died and been replaced with Kevin Costner, who probably can't remember all the lyrics to "The Model," so they can't tour. When they do come around, yell out "Waterworld! Waterworld!" and if "Struan" becomes enraged and smashes his guitar in a fit of anger and storms off...well, then its probably the real Stuart Murdoch and we have nothing to fear.

A heavily US-centric bill probably put paid to any notions of a 5-a-side football tournament ("football? But we don�t have any helmets..."), which was a great shame, as it provided a nice point of social contact between the punters and the popstars in their fancy luxury chalets in �99 and �00. Oh, and we did win the thing last year. Funny that folks seem to be labouring under the idea that this was another dronesome post-rock seaside experience - the line-up was much more varied than Mogwai�s guitary choices of last year. It was practically all hip-hop on the second stage on Friday, and full-on electronica, avant-jazz and improv elsewhere. Highlights for me: the freestyling Atmosphere, Mr Charisma himself Mike Ladd (I was an infesticon! Fuck the majesticons), Boards of Canada (whose �performance� was little more than uninflected LP tracks reproduced at immense volume through the PA with wobbly interludes and uninspired visuals - but it hit the spot for me), Autechre (I considered it a point of principle to stay at the front for the whole 65-minute set, buffeted by spazzing German teenagers in the throes of mathematical ecstasy; Ae were as ferociously dense as I hoped, all locust-piloted helicopters dragging open zippers in the earth�s crust and spilling runny silicon over misfiring spark-plugs. Like being battered by a robot). "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" and "Down By Law" on the telly. The full-moon sea at night. Less than wonderful: Lambchop bookended a soporific set of unfamiliar material with a �Nixon� track and a Sisters of Mercy cover (or was that just a joke? I only saw the new stuff), Calexico - great horns, bad vocalist. Poor sound on Friday and Saturday seemed to mar much of the main stage performances. Broadcast had friends raving in unseemly ways, but I missed two-thirds of the set and heard only shuddering wig-outs. Derek Bailey was �enjoyable� for a punishing 15 minutes but then close to intolerable. Tortoise vexed me even more than they do on record. Television and The Sea and Cake I missed in their entirety. YLT meandered, but not in a good way. My inevitable sore throat. Worst of all - the non-appearance of NYC legends ESG. Of course, one relied on word-of-mouth about things like that - I don�t think Foundation attempted to post this information on-site at all (nor did they announce the alterations to show-times as a result, attempt to replace the missing acts [difficult, I know] or breathe a word about Black Heart Procession�s vanishing act either). Oh well. Socially, a joy as ever. I won�t name names because, well, I don�t really exist, do I? Knocking back the zinc and OJ, GF. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

My point was that a few people lately have been sending Stories (as opposed to stories) to the list, thus getting a quick fix of attention and brief flurry of responses whilst denying themselves the satisfaction of seeing it published on a well put together fiction site, which has also gone a bit quiet lately, so my intention was twofold - to boost the Midnight Lending Library and point writers in the (possibly) right direction - for them, not me or anybody else.

I'm not getting on very swimmingly for a variety of reasons, so for a month or so I'm going to step down as gently chiding list mum. It's time for me to try and become a listee or something again, maybe a lurking one for a time. I'm looking for a surrogate mum for the list to carry you all in her womb for a little bit, and give you the occasional tummy tickle, and it may well be Linda Lulou (lulou at missprint.org) who some of you will know and who has graciously offered. This means that if you get a mail to the list or personally from her being gently chiding you should treat this as List Mum's voice, and not see this as an invitation to open the age-old debate about list content on the list - mail her if you want to discuss, opinions appreciated. Be kind to her, she's lovely and can crack a walnut in her thighs, so watch out too. Sorry I have to disappear a little for a while, I hope this will be a matter of gentle personal reconstruction. We'll see. Let's say I'll resume the reins sometime in July for now... I'll still be receiving pictures, Sillustrations (bless them) and other requests for stuff, but you'll have to be very very patient with me. Pictures I will just put up, in job lots, so you won't be getting cheery mails saying "it's done!" just now but it doesn't mean I'm not patting your heads in an affectionate way as I do it. Same for swapped email addresses that want out of the nursery. OK? There's a stack of requests waiting and I shall try and do them soonish. Apologies to those waiting who've mailed. i before e except after c. In the meantime can I leave you with a gentle parting nudge or two myself? As said, stories can be sent to the Sinister Library: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/library - instructions there. That doesn't mean your stories weren't read, and appreciated, but this way they're preserved longer, and people who don't want to read drafts don't get tetchy. But pleeeease don't start a debate about list content on the list! That way lies list stasis, and a lot of short messages none of us can face wading through. (Honey gives Peter and Jules some chocolate) I suspect my mandate for more personal commentary on the list is a little weak just now, as I'm going off to hide under a duvet, but please remember you get the list you make. If you're getting a bit fed up reading the list, then post something you'd like to read from 1400 others rather than following suit. Please think what others would like to read. If in doubt, hold back your mail and polish it up later with something you know someone will like. This list is very special because we have a remarkable history of you all doing just that - for years. I never dreamed this could happen on a wet dreary afternoon when I downloaded the Majordomo software and thought: let's see if anyone new joins. But I can't help feeling just now that the pendulum towards personal diaries and an inclination to fire off quick jokes or one-liners has swung just a bit too far again. This list is one of the biggest active ones I know (bless you!) and will really suffer if we get into a lot of ping-pong short mails. Check the list history in the archives, or see some other lists for cautionary tales. I'm trying to be gentle and it's a very hard balance to strike, and someone always gets a bit sad because they think I'm picking on them. I'm honestly not thinking of any specific post. I don't think anyone's doing anything wrong, and you're all treasures. But please remember to think before you post. Cliff Richard, Dalai Lama, shanti shanti. See you soon, be good. Honey xxx P.S. I'll be listening to Life Without Buildings in the interim. You should too. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Santa is real, like Larry is (I will tell you about Larry in a minute), it was not the postman but really Santa. And guess what? It was a huuuuuge parcel and it had lots of lovely things in it! Jeanette, thank you so much! *ATP* ATP was ace. I mean even better than cheese at some point. I had the best eggs ever in a fish&chips, that was just after Trousers bought the trendiest sunglasses and before I learned how to say badger and mole and sloth in English. My chronology of the whole week end is still a bit confused, though. Also I adopted a frog called Larry who looked after the chalet while we were in the pub (a lot, as Ken said already). There has been a debate going on to find out if Larry was a dinosaur, a crocodile or a frog and he felt a bit upset because he is a frog and proud of it. Then Tim Hopkins tried to break Larry's plastic neck but I saved him and he is now home and safe (Larry says "elllllo" in a dreadful French accent) In a less silly note, Broadcast were my highlight of the week end, even if some other bands were good but really not as great as they were. And the music in the pub was good enough to make Phil and I shake our little bums quite a while. I also met nice people and had lots of fun. Great week end really. Well it was a bit windy but then nothing's perfect. I am still fairly tired, because of obvious lack of sleep and abuse of alcohol, so I am wishing you sweet dreams as I will be off to bed soon.

I haven't read Q or visited their website in quite some time (except to check this guy's name)but if Transient Random-Noise Burst with Announcements is a two star album, then i humped David Roberts mother on his desk, in front of him, until she screamed bloody-murder and disowned him for, being an absolutely hideous record reviewer. I'm only upset because Stereolab have been deemed my favorite band for about the past three months. It all started with Switched On V.1. Pre-Dots & Loops records are insane. Being that i have run out of stereolab albums to purchase, i picked up a copy of Labradford's A Stable Reference. I don't think I have been so infuriated by a record since i duped myself into buying 'P Diddies' album years ago. The damn thing just doesn't make any sense, i hate it AND i put it on everynight before i go to bed. Labradford is driving me mad. Sweetie was talking about seeing other sinisters. I live outside of NYC and there are these two people that i keep seeing. Once in the city, once on the train into the city, and one time in the sesspool that is Hempstead. Three times in the past two weeks, and they look Sinister! I think they might also be cuban. If i see them again, i'm asking. if they're sinister. Content: on inside the actor's studio, i heard mike myers use the word 'twee'. There was also this chick that had a t-shirt on that said said "Canadian Girls Kick Ass" and i thought of Ms. Wesley and the dreams i had this winter past. This is an early warning: Redman's new album is coming out on May 22 and it will be one of the best days of the year as he is the true greatest of all time. Redman rock's my world! Have a super day! and/or night's rest! phil r "well it's that brother comin' six billion feet from beneath and you should be peeped in how i get smoked out on the weekends." _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

As the subject line will tell, I steal Simpsons'quotes as well..... May I be the first person to officially comment that Sillustration No. 25* is a work of art and beauty. The gold tooth and thick arm hair simply make me go weak in the knees. Peter Miller, YOU are my Idle!!** I like my guys like Die Hard movies -- all action with no plot. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Dorothy Parker coined the phrase "What the Hell?"*** What a woman! I just got back from a night drive up to the Blue Ridge Parkway with Katy "Dorothy Parker makes me want to gulp down bathtub gin, get in a bad relationship, and attempt suicide" Harris where we sat on the hood of the car looking at the stars and eating half melted ice cream. It was great and she didn't even complain when I took the curves too fast (which is probably something Peter Miller is often accused of). This was after spending the day splurging and ordering**** Parker related movies for an upcoming movie marathon. We've been good girls and haven't spent any money since we went in together to buy all of the Twin Peaks episodes and then took a roadtrip up to Canada. This time our accompanying roadtrip is going to be to New York where I'm sure I will be dragged to every Civil War Site which we pass on our way up there since she's obsessed. Today, I walked in on her researching about the war on the computer and I asked her what porno site she was looking at: Katy: You know me. It features General Lee in the nude Me: Well, his horse was named Traveler. I've already been to Gettysburgh with her and she'll never think of Little Round Top the same way again. On the drive I broke in the latest mix tape I received from Primitive Painter. Do you know that I just recently realized that Elixir's True Blue Honey is just a wordless remix of the Future Bible Heroes' Love Is Blue. I'm so dense. (Really - light is bending around me here). That bass player from Elixir is adorable though, isn't he? Yes, just darling in that 'terrorist writing manifestos until his hands turn as bloody as he wants the world to be' kind of way. Painter also sent me a copy of the recent release of the Complete Pixies B Sides which went along lovely with the article which Lawrence "The Milkman" Mikkelsen was kind enough to post to me. I must say it is ACE. I hadn't heard a lot of the tunes so I'm in heaven (in the radiator) here. Favorites are David Lovering singing about his obsession with Debbie Gibson, the tune from Lynch's (of Twin Peaks fame!) Eraserhead, a remix of the outro section of The Happening which I'm in love with, and an instrumental version of Letter To Memphis which is my other favorite pixies song which Frank Black wrote to Memphis, Egypt to the great love of his love during her past life in that part of the world (Guys don't write love letters to me in my current life and some chic gets ones written to all of her past selves. I'm considering developing multiple personalities Right Now!) Surrogate Lusty Mum Linda said, "It sounds so romantic, driving in the deep dark woods in deepest darkest, em, Utah." Ugtah abounds in many things -- including a freakish obsession with Jell-O, towns spelled Tooele and pronounced TuWilla, and a quaint mispronunciation of basic English words (for becomes fur. Fork becomes fark) -- but it cannot boast an abundance of deep dark woods. If you're familiar with Spaceman Spiff's adventures in Calivn & Hobbes, then you're familiar with the landscape of Southern Utah. They have mountains but like the men in my family - they're all bald. I suppose the Unita Mountain Range (part of the Rockies and the highest and most important range in the US to run east-west instead of north-south) does have some trees. The best part of that though is the Alpine Loop where you will find Robert Redford's Timp Lodge and home of the Sunset Film Festival. I once went up there in a van full of mentally ill adults which was most enjoyable. However, I wouldn't exactly trust any opinion of mine on that state since I used to substitute its name in for the word "hell" which I found worked quite well. On the topic of what parents think of Belle and Sebastian - I was quite surprised to find my mother singing along with Slow Graffiti. How cute! until I realized that instead of singing, "There's a portrait in a back room which I keep for days upon, which I relent and gaze for hours on the muscle skin and bone of some imaginary friend" that she was singing, "I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz when an old friend I happened to see. I introduced her to my loved one and while they were dancin' my friend stole my sweetheart from me." Ahem! Where does my mother get off inserting Patty Page into MY Struan? Then I realized the eerie similarities between the music of Slow Graffiti and the Tennessee Waltz (not the Joan Baez song of the same name). It's the same song! I think this tune may not be familiar to a lot of you but other NC listee Matthew Molnar's Mom said the same thing. Remember that Matthew? Remember me? Yeah, me, Laura Llew. The girl who you serenaded with Smith songs on my front porch while I was in the swing all wrapped up in a warm comforter. You almost made me spill my tea because I was laughing so much at your 20 minute cover of "Vicar in a Tutu" which you said you were going to make as a B-side one day. Yeah that was back when you used to talk to me. Before you started working at that stupid record store and became too good for lil' Llew. Who? Even after that I still had long conversations with your back. We were in love and going to elope but in the end he was just too attached to you to be with me. Yeah move back to your stupid Jersey - see if I care! So yeah - my point is that my parents both think Belle and Sebastian are a bunch of music thieving Scots who'd best stay the Utah away from their Patty Page! Laura *(http://www.missprint.org/sinister/sillustrations/No025.html) **No I did not misspell idol here. With posts like http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200012/msg00033.html that fox obviously has too much time (among other things) on his hands. *** If you looked at the Sillustration you will realize the first sentence of this paragraph does relate to the previous one **** New Orleans Lauren will attest to the shocking fact that thriving metropolis of Pisgah Forest, North Carolina doesn't have a place where one can buy the movies: Robert Benchley and the Knights of the Algonquin, A Star is Born, and Saboteur ***** Sorry, I just wanted to be able to say it was a 5 star post PS- Paul Fields who starred in my last PS informed me that his name is actually Paul Field. However, Laura Llewd whispered in my ear that the addition of a random letter to one's last name is usually a good thing. PPS - The Transatlantic Mix Tape Challenge of 2001 is off to a great start! >From Emily Wilska and Kat in Oklahoma, I know that Sinister Seductresses can make wonderful tapes as well as the boys. So I'm excited that both Feather Boa, Rachel Walther, and Jenny Payne (in the nursery still but she's a librarian from Virginia. I already love her!) have entered. I think we definitely need more girl entries though � PPPS- Walkn Steve- get over it. Basketball season is ovah.

I think the black fox is gay and therefore should be banned. Refer the case to the House of Lords and they'll tie up the black fox in legislation for years. You think you saw bickering? Just wait till my mate Lord Selsdon gets hold of it. I love Lord Selsdon. Jules, maybe a smaller list of people who are familiar with your writing would be a good idea, or maybe start up a little website to put them on, and add the url at the end of each signature so people have the chance to look if further interested. I think my stories shouldn't go in the library personally. Because they're all a load of silly beggars I make up from my very bored brain. Trail of Dead indeed! Laugh? I nearly waronkered my llama! Onto more serious matters. Does anyone want a game of table football? I really am SHIT at it. I need to improve. Tf you want to take me on, tomorrow lunch time anywhere in SW1, or any time Friday in Nottingham, moving on to Preston for a week and then back to London to face all comers. How do you spin the little guys with force? I mean I just can't do it! Also... TWO ONE, TWO ONE TWO ONE TWO ONE, TWO ONE, TWO ONE. Lets go, Metro! I'm referrring to the recent match between MetroStars and New England Revolution in case you didn't know. More people should be into them Yanks Major League Soccer. It's hilarious. At the DC Scum match they had dancing bottles and robed footballers resembeling Klansmen at half time. Fruit loops. Sarah Also I don't understand the concept of eggs with salsa. Do you get eggs with MOLE SAUCE???? aceaceaceace. ALSO! Does anyone else like Bust-A-Groove, the second best dancing game for the playstation but not as good as DDR cos it doesn't involve actually dancing but is good cos you get to play lots of good characters the best being Shorty cos her special move is kililng people with teddy bears? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Okay I know that short posts are the bane of the list so i'll ramble on but I do have one simple question to ask. Since someone out there just found out what an arabstrap is. it just seemed that much more appropiate. How's Arab Strap the band live? they're in town tonight and i'm thinking of going down to see them? do they put on a good show? It's fairly rare that they're here so I feel I should but something tells be the boys might not put on a superific show? tho' i have read that they're sobered up... which is shocking and a bit disturbing... For somereason I always but all the scottish bands together as a family..... the Vaselines/Eugene Kelly is like the cool older uncle... B&S are the middle children, quiet sensitive needing some attention but not trying to getit... Arabstrap are the older brothers who would rough up anyone that gave B&S some trouble... Mogwai are the youngest kids all loud and brassy...and obviously the most fun to go drinking with... I could go on.. but as R.E.M. once state "the allegories are strained" but i would welcome additions to the Scottish indie family not just bands you've gotta come up with the familial relation too! To the Lovely Laura LLew (whom i once assumed was welsh) have you read A History of the World in 10 1/2 chapters yet? well? get on it... I know i owe you a comprehensive email as well, maybe I'll make a driving tape too...it's a good thing you warned me about godspeed you black emperor! tho'.. that blasts from my speakers when I drive up the coast to maine. TO Listdom lisa: I hope the day finds you well Ma'am. to Brier? where is my fellow massachusetts native? did you annouce you were leaving and i missed it? alright then... I guess this wasn't such a lacking post afterall.. considering I only chime in once in a while.... so please inform me as to wether I should spend my hard earned money on Arab strap tonight... anchor's aweigh jb _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Apparently he and Edd the Duck have gone their seperate ways. Andy is now working in radio, again proving the Bruno Brookes / Cabbage Thereom (sorry Cabbage) that any tosser can play a few records. Edd though is currently the European Parliamentary Minister for South East Kent. He's currently working on his own bill for platting land near Folkestone. While Andy plays the new Hear'Say single on hospital radio and mutters about giving one to Myleene off the air while fiddling with some surgeon's gloves he found. I don't know... Anyway did someone mention All Tomorrows Parties? Well they had a Dance Dance Revolution machine and a pub that stayed open till 5 there so it couldn't really go wrong could it? No. indeed. And some of the bands actually played some nice songs. OK I'm exaggerating now obviously. But Sunday's headliners Massive Spud Death did capture my imagination rather, and really gave my favourite band of the festival Rabbit Mayhem a good run for their money with their frivilous noise. I could go on about the bands for ages, but I think everyone would have to say that Spang, Plums on Drums and Serious Mischief were pretty poor. Mountains of Quim were also dissapointing as I'd seem the Quim playing much better than that. It's always worthwhile seeing at least a bit of the Quim. Even more dissapointingly Constant Spray cancelled in the exact last minute to play with the Cranberries apparently, which was a little odd. As were their 3 seconds replacement Big Armchair Atrocity. I'd never seen a ! man do that with a badger with his hands tied behind his back before. Still it it did sound better than the David Bailey, or whoever he was still tuning up after an hour on stage. To add to the confusion, apparently there was a dead badger on the beach that the indie kids were going to barbeque in some kind of pagan gesture. Who said the spirit of Bowlie was dead? Obviously I made the bit about the badger, the pub and the DDR up. But it was fun. I learnt how to say "Nice arse" in Norwegian. What more does anyone need to know... Me? I need to know more about wheelbarrows. Sometimes one wheel and a a pair of handles is all you need. I think we can all learn something from that...

Was just a bit curious to see if anyone was going to The (International) Noise Conspiracy show tomorrow night in Philly. The Noise Conspiracy is one of my favorite bands and I am very excited to see them. Their singer, formerly of Refused, has some very intriguing ideas and has inspired me to learn more about politics. (ALSO! On the Lost Patrol 7" the picture that comes with it is of Dennis wearing a Study at Stowe shirt. I nearly lost it, two of my favorite bands connected in a fuzzy black and white photo!) T(I)NC are best blend of Socialist 60's modrock-hardcore to come out of Sweden since Abba. Anyways for some content, a chap off Napster was kind enough to allow me to download a song called Jeremy From Chicago off of his harddrive. Supposedly one of the new B&S singles. If it's not B&S, it sure sounds swell, and I'll be first in the queue to pick it up when it does come out. If it is B&S. But right. If anyone does go to the show, be prepared for a proper rocking. I'll be the twee one up front with the camera, snapping pictures of Dennis and being generally manhandled by the hardkids in the pit. I've never met a Sinisterine in person before so if someone does go just call out the name "Timothy" until someone responds. Hopefully me.

"the rollercoaster ride" is fixed right outside grand central near dusk, the concrete radiating the day's heat back at me, "simple things" is walking through empty queens streets trying to find my way back to laguardia. i guess i accidentally *made* it a summer album, and it fits the way i usually feel during and about summers. "is it depressing me or is it keeping me company in depression?" :) oh, and since i seemed to have missed it completely, what *is* an arab strap? i read an interview with members of arab strap and they just talked about misconceptions. wily scots! jay "there is no gold in akaba!" +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Shocks are apparently still on. Will their paths *ever* cross again, anywhere in the *world*? Slot Jockey retain title by default as reported earlier. Other results now in. In a secret ballot in London's important London Bridge area, some geezer from Chelmsford was voted 'Hero of the Festival'. It was secret because most of the people at the festival didn't participate, because it was a secret. So I wouldn't set too much store by the result. In a pub in sleepy Rye it was revealed that Heart's 'Magic Man' was the original inspiration for chickfactor. No, not the song, dummy - what do you think this is, The Belle and Sebastian Mailing List? Some BOYS (yawn) watched some FOOTBALL GAMES or something (zzz). Bo-ring! Ross MacManus Aware for Secret Drinker of the Festival went to longtime Jim Taylor for smuggling in a different drink each set, hidden in his comedy David James Gloves (TM). One night it was Jack Daniels, then on came the red wine, then orange juice, then Aztec Camera. Camera of the weekend was the pinefox's for double-exposing 20 shots and hence putting Alasdair Cook on top of the top of the bar or something, probably, whatever, who knows, when they come out, whenever that is. Ruralism of the weekend was Hopkins' 'There've been an accident *up countree*'. It reminded me that his definition of rural is short and sweet, as he has virtually announced somewhere or other. Joke of the weekend was a late entrant, and involved Jim('my') White saying that pool was not really his game. It's a good 'un, innit? You have to admit it. Meanwhile, thrills on the various stages were at fever pitch. Things got off to a flyer with I Can't Believe It's Not Sun Ra, La, and moved on to Porpoise's five-hour set of oceanic flipper noises. Only DaMo was unimpressed. On the second stage Mike Ladd performed a moving reminiscence of his childhood in Wales, to the sound of a lonely pendulum. The pace picked up as the reformed Run-DMC took the stage. Can I just say at this point: Run-DMC, you rock 'da' house!! On Saturday Tony Hares' disappointing set was ended abruptly by an incident involving a television aerial and half a bottle of Blue Nun. Nabisco showed us that the trumpet was the future of disco biscuits. (When I was growing up, 'biscuit' meant a gothic girl. Whatever happened to that usage?) Porkbarrel bid for the Guinness Book of Records by playing one song for the longest extended period of time, roughly 90 minutes, with occasional dramatic pauses, without removing headwear. Drama. The Eternals were fined for playing a mere hour. Derek Bentley appeared in the form of a cardboard cut-out, demanding justice for victims of Elvis Costello lyrics. The MacManus winner (as mentioned above) intervened forcefully, true to a recent history of activism, and got the bar closed early. TCP was cancelled. Infections spread, infectiously. Back in the Queen the question must be asked: Is Vic There? Tim Hopkins was at it again, bidding for a place in the Guinness Book of Guinness, and listening to Records. Bored Of Woking rounded off the night by playing Style Council records backwards. It's not easily done. CAMpbell, for one, was impressed, and soon took a knock. She may be out for the rest of the festival season. On Sunday the bells had barely ceased, and romance had only just been declared dead, when Testcard entered the fray. Stobes strobed the room. People were so affected by the strobe lighting they couldn't find the signs telling them that they should be careful of the strobe lighting. It didn't matter too much, though, as its effects were dissipated by a numbing, unlistenable sonic dirge. Phew! Ko-E Akiburo plugged in for the first time in this listener's experience since that rehearsal in The Gadget Rooms in Plymouth, when they played that 15-minute version of 'She's In Clouds'. Listening to the three chords pummelling away for hour after hour was like coming home. Ivan Salcedo was spotted smiling with fond memories of Endless Drone. When Ko-E sang 'Rocket #149 has just taken off for Venus', one could almost see the rocket taking off for Venus. It was as though that 'Venus-Rocket' had been conjured up in our imaginations with the sheer power of words - and music! For an encore Ko-E were replaced by Dave and the Moonbeams, rushed in from the Good Companions (Old Costessey), with covers of old Ramones and Blondie numbers. Nice one, Dave! And Sheila's still looking good on keyboards! Hey, mate - if you're reading this - you owe me a pint!! The weekend's major disappointment came from Lloyd and the Verlaines, who made sure their instruments were in tune and kept playing notes in the 'relevant' 'scales' on their guitars. In many ways they totally misjudged the whole ethos of the event. They had reportedly reformed ten years previously in order to start practising for this show, and it showed. At one point Lloyd declared 'We like to play cool virtuoso intertwining lead guitar parts that seem to leave the air smouldering so much more than we like to make a barrage of tedious, uninspired, witless and irritating Emperor's-New-Clothes noise'. That did it for me. The irony was lost on me, and I left. In many ways football was the loser. Ron? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

It says on the band's site: "The film is split into two parts. The music for the first part of the film was done by Nathan Larsson, who was in Shudder To Think, and has recently scored such films as "Boy's Don't Cry". B&S have done the music for the second part." ...so does this mean the album coming out on Matador/Jeepster will be a split release with Nathan Larsson? I think that might be a little obvious, but I'm just wondering if anyone can confirm it.

Even if it is pitch dark outside, good afternoon. On the battle of the releases, it seems that Struan's christian side is the winner so far. Vieille-vague atheism 'Marx and Engels' is kept in the closet to give way to 'Jonathan and David' fronting the next chapter in the revelations also to include surprise,surprise, 'The Loneliness...'.A touch of brassy Midlander vs the Establishment to balance the piousness,perhaps.Very welcome,however. Struan taking over Samuel's role and enchanting us with a tale of misunderstood committed friendship.I am just going for the easiest interpretation of the lyrics.Sure this lad will know how to deliver something as twisted and multilayered as 'The Model' and defeat all conventions about what pop songs are about again.

I have known Honey for fourteen years, and hope I will forever. My favourite B&S track is Slow Grafitti, I work in a library, am Scottish, I wear little glasses and am slightly crumpled (going well so far.) I have never been in a fight. None B&S factors in my makeup - I don't drink vodka and red bull. Most significant B&S encounter is when I saw Chris Geddes in Waterstones in Edinburgh, looking through the Bumper Book of Pop (or something). I looked over his shoulder and it was at the "B" page..he was looking in vain. Oh and I will/do read every single message to the list. That's scared you. Can you do the same..? Someone mentioned that there are so many messages - well, there is always the digest, if you would rather things are parcelled up into a nice bundle. Subscribe to that and you get several messages at once, in one nice email. Mail me of you need details, or see the footer of the messages. My favourite listee is anyone I have ever met or emailed.

Next Year in April 2002, Shellac have been confirmed as Curators and artists such as Low, Plush, Fugazi and The Breeders are very close to confirming.

Which makes him a brave man indeed, because my brother has all the personal hygiene of a 14 year old boy who picks his nose, shows it to people and eats it. Because that's what he is. And I kicked Ian's arse with my grate green lightsabre. If it wasn't a toy, then the hard kids would be weeing in their kappa underwear. Yeeah, I'm a Jedi. We ran into some baby hard kids, and Ian offered to poke them with a sharp stick, but in the end he never because they were 3 foot tall, even though they'd managed to give me concussion before. And I went to see the Aislers Set and Stevie Reverb himself was supporting and he played Jonathon and David, and it was good and he took requests and I was going to ask for a Spice Girls song but there was a really loud scary American there, and I spoke to Stevie, and I met Stuart Murdoch and hugged him, even though I'm such a sad obsessive fan that I was nearly sick on his shoe, when I tugged at his sleeve and said 'hi'. And he was really nice, and didn't yell at me. And he looks like a pixie. Wow, that was grate. Sleazy's is another place that will serve me alcohol. Which is a useful discovery. Pubs are fun indeed. Oh oh oh, and we ran into sinister people at the 13th note, and Sweetie had grate solid hair and gave me her white pony bracelet, and I menchied in her homework diary and we swapped Ska Badges which was amazing. Even though mine was from Top Shop and hers was cool. And I got magnificently drunk and missed the last train home. I wish I'd been at ATP because it sounds grate. Even though someone put up a sign about me, which is just frightenedning. I like Nokia phones. I don't have one, but I like playing snake. I played it all through Airport Girl's set at Sleazy's cause I got pretty bored, but everyone gave me evils. I named the snake on Ian Hatcher's phone. I called him Crawford Macenzie after the guy in the Big Tease, which is the best film not quite ever, but definately the best one about hairdressing. Today I cried on the bus, and it was a shame, because I thought my heart was breaking, but there was no one around to witness that I had one. It wasn't breaking though, just being an arsebandit. I don't like my heart, I wish I had a better one. I like being a saddo bedroom devotee.

I�m really happy and proud to be a sinisterian (vegan too!) Thank to the list I have know such a nice people and I have made very good friends. It�s not fair that some of them live so far away from me... but distance doesn�t matter if there is internet! Charles lives in Argentina but I had the chance to meet him at the Gentle Waves concerts last year. He is so kind! He e mails me, phones me and he send me lovely presents and music stuff and so Jordi does too. Fortunately he lives closer to me and I can see him many times. He is always trying to make me happy and inviting me to go to Barcelona. I�m his spoiled girl! I went last weekend to a Clientele concert and got to have their album in vinil signed by the lads just for me! Lovely! My best concerts ever have been the Hefner ones because of Elenita. She is so funny! I hope Darren will marry her, she is a wonderful multilingual girl and a very good cooker! Monsieur �dictionnaire� Meysonnet is absolutely nice too. He has to be sick and tired of my complains and questions about France�s way of living. He has helped me to survive in his country. I was surprised... I was happy twice... when I got Sally and David Moore�s presents and the Canver Sands postcard that makes me dream about the ATP. I hope I�ll be able to go one day and thank him in person. �Gracias por todo! Peter Miller and Steve Trousers are quite nice as well and both them wear lovely Camper shoes which I love!

Ah, does anyone else have a penchant for talking about themselves in the third person? > Romance is over. Shocks are apparently still on. Will > their paths *ever* cross again, anywhere in the > *world*? Don't let them fool you into thinking they're talking about the music - nostalgia for the romance of three chord song structures. Strobe lights and electronic flipper noises suit them just fine. So it only remains to be discovered - who was the mystery date? It was nice to see Nick Dastoor back - a momentous event earlier this week that passed largely without comment. I had the beginning of a post in my head during statistics lecture - something about how lightning never strikes twice and thunderstorms forecasted with the toast - but the Severe Thunderstorm Warning was a dud, so I lost all momentum. You know it's frustrating - after dealing with the unpredictability of earthquakes in CA, I was set to put all my faith in these Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, but there are so many and most of them are false alarms so eventually you feel the urge to walk around outside and dare lightning to strike. But I have to admit I was somewhat frightened about the whole thing this time last year. So in the article that Nick pointed out, it was mentioned that B & S did a cover of Glenn Campbell's "Rhinestone Cowboy". And somewhere else, it was mentioned that the end of "LLPJ" sounds amazingly like a song that I think is a Glenn Campbell song with 'Wichita' in the title. The TRULY amazing thing is that on my flight back to Columbus at the end of spring break, they had piped in music on the plane while everyone was getting seated. And I think I heard the song! At least, it sounded like "LLPJ". Not that there's anything wrong with having a variety of influences and adapting the work of others. They do it everywhere else without comment. Like I had to play variations on Twinkle Twinkle Little Star by Mozart for a piano recital in junior high - I can't believe my piano teacher made me play that when everyone else was playing lovely romantic pieces like "Fantasie Impromptu". Archel wrote: > ah yes, dating. i have never been on a single real date in my life, > to my knowledge. imho, if you go out for the evening with someone who > you haven't slept with, or at least snogged, then you're just friends. > why call it a date? where is the line between friend and date? i say > avoid the confusion and cut to the chase. if you go out with a nice > guy/girl and end up in bed, cool. but why spend an evening being all > anxious about 'etiquette' and 'signals'? it's a lot less embarassing > eating spaghetti in front of someone *after* they've seen you naked. It's incomprehensible and unfair that someone who can give such sound advice and invent such saucy scenes should not be perfectly content! But then who said life was fair? It's much better to read _Leaves of Grass_ to while away the hours at your aunt's Christmas party when you're slightly drunk. Then we'll decide whether or not romance is over. Finally, Maria Sierra reported: > Peter Miller and Steve Trousers are quite nice as well and both them > wear lovely Camper shoes which I love! Yes, but would Mrs. Welthorpe approve? Orthopedically correct - well, that's likely - but are they really just so? (I have a personal interest in her opinion cos I'm waiting for a light blue pair myself. For once in my life, I must wear light colored shoes during the summer - and not just sneakers!)

I was basically lying around all day, every once in a while getting up and relocating myself to a different warm grassy spot or the slanted roof of the carousel, or a different shady coiled branch of a tree to curl up in . The entire time I was just in the mood for singing every song i know about summer or that reminded me of summer. Many were just camp songs (rainbow connection, the general, sugar mountain, brown eyed girl, etc) and then songs that are about or even just mention the summer: summer wasting, tea for the tillerman, here comes the sun [which I think is more of a winter song really], . Oh and pretty much every magnetic fields song, which i soon gave up on, because they make me sad. Well, anyways, I found myself repeating after a while, so if anyone can think of good songs about summer that have slipped my mind, to sing while sitting in a tree in a secluded section of Central Park, could you please remind me? thanks have a lovely weekend -sophie +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Thanks to Pedro for sending an advert to the list. I've always thought those 'list rules' were just *silly*. I'm especially grateful to Pedro for telling us about the collection of songs by bands who played at ATP, because, as you may know, I am very keen on those bands, and spend large parts of each day wishing that I had a compact disc containing tracks by them. The kind of thing I would like to have would be - just for instance - a self-indulgent 14-minute multi-generic ramble by The Tortoises; a seemingly endless load of bleeping toss by Alultechre; a seemingly unending load of tripe by Bored of Weybridge. If you can fix us up with some of that gear, Pedro me old china, we'll be made up, catch my drift? Maria Sierra's name reminds me, come to think of it, of that Yankee beer thing called Sierra Nevada or something. And that's a *good* thing, la. Youn foxed us all again. We just don't know where she's coming from next. In that respect she is much like Remi Moses. She said that the Dastoor's appearances on sinister felt significant - and I agree. I miss him too. Jenowl said that ATP sounded good. No, no, la - it *was* good, but it didn't *sound* good. It sounded atrocious. Maria S also said that elenita99 was a good cooker. I disagree. I think she's more of an old boiler. There is something to be said about the altered phenomenology of film since video: ie, the possibility that viewers concentrated on movies more when they might not get to see another film again for another 20 years. I am reminding myself, in writing this, or the other day when Sally la M held surely the best sinister party in months. I have got to tell you about the thrills that la M laid on, along with her pals. One or two geezers found her pals a thrill, too, but that's another matter. No, the bash itself was something to behold - it was time for beer, Frazzles, red wine, Martini and ginger, and talk of the real meaning of Black Box. It was the best discusion of Black Box EVER. I really mean that - it was MUCH better than the discussions of Black Box that Reynolds and Stubbs used to have on Friday afternoons in summer 1989, when they would lounge around saying 'god, Black Box are great, aren't they?'. I mean it - to everyone that participated in this Black Box discussion, thank you. You rock - I mean, you dance. Unknown folks also derived known pleasures from discussing things that Llaura Lll had said. I think that LlllLlll would be amazed if she knew how folks in England discuss her. Or would she? Her remark about density and light started a whole scientific debate. I listened, and understood nary a word. That's because I have CLEVER friends, see. Some gal from North London acted as DJ with unusual good taste, and cried into her beer, metaphorically, when thinking about some wee bairn from somewhere up North. I don't know. Mick Jagger took notes, hoping to write another 'Crying In Your Daquiri' song sometime soon. As the night wore into morning, it once again turned out that Lloyd Cole was incredibly brilliant, and surely the most underrated artist of the last 20 years. The result was surprising at first, but we got used to it, and realized that it was accurate. Sophie in Central Park - apart from being a song that Paul Simon never quite wrote, and more's the pity - said that 'Brown-Eyed Girl' was camp. Did she mean 'summer camp'? She said that the MFs made her cry, I think; unless I am misquoting her. I wonder why? Please tell. Summer songs? Let's see - 'The Power' by Snap. That is a very, very bad Summer song. Lloyd Cole's 'Don't Look Back', on the other hand, is a very, very, very great Easter song. With that song in mind, let me wish you all a happy Easter. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

I am a very happy boy today, because I woke up and I watched channel 4, and suddenly I saw "Terrorvision live, next", and I danced for a bit, and then Terrorvision actually was on telly, I danced a lot, even tho they play one of the songs that wasn't very good. If you are about to make a comment about none of their songs being very good, I shall be pre-emptively telling you to smell yer maw now. :) So, that's made my day.

I found a new article on nme.com about out lovely B & S. Read for yourselves at http://www.nme.com/NME/External/News/News_Story/0,1004,24803,00.html but I can give you the highlights: The first EP out in early summer (we already knew that though). Second one probably released in the end of the summer. And some fantastic news: Tour in the middle of the summer probably around June. He (Stevie J) only talked about an UK tour but I really hope they will visit some more countries, Sweden for example :-) Anyway, apparently there will be a "full exclusive Belle & Sebastian interview" next week (on nme.com) so hopefully we'll get more info then. ///Alexander +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Yesterday, i invented a new drink, which i advise all fans of it's constituent ingredients to try. however, i will first go through the thought process involved. this is a process that i believe all inventors should use. and is in two simple points. 1. think of your favourite things 2. combine them anyways, whilst pouring ribena into a glass to the desired undiluted level yesterday, i remembered that in an act of extravagance i had bought a bottle of irn-bru from tescos. then it struck me. why not combine them?! after a wee bit of experimentation i found that by slightly increasing the normal proportion of ribena, then filling the glass with irn-bru, i had made a drink fit for gods, and therefore certainly the nice people on the sinister mailing list. also, i was wondering if anyone can define the difference between a shirt and a blouse, as my dad seems to think my favourite shirt is a blouse (a building society blouse, even). thirdly, if there are any sinister spotters in ipswich, keep an eye out for a tall skinny boy with a kind of white-boy afro, probably wearing some nice flares, and being shouted at by small children in white tracksuits. actually, if there is anyone on sinister in ipswich, or nearby, it would be nice to speak to you. byebye, piddlemonkey -------------------- talk21 your FREE portable and private address on the net at http://www.talk21.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Timothy Meskers) Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2001 19:44:10 -0400 Subject: Sinister: Observations.12/Live without deadtime Message-ID: Hello friends, It's been quiet lately; too quiet. I hope that everyone is doing okay. I just wanted to tell you all about the best show in the world- the show I went to on Thursday night. And that show was an (International) Noise Conspiracy show. It all started when we hit the road for Philadelphia but got lost and ended up near Trenton. We thought for sure we'd be late. But we weren't. I had carefully typed a letter the previous night to Dennis Lyxzen, their singer which thanked him for being such an interesting guy and for making such great music. During the cartrip I wrote a list of interview questions for the website but I doubted I would even get the chance to talk to him. The Explosion was the opening band. I was knocked off my feet by a big hardkid and he didn't say sorry. I was a little angry but I didn't want to push him back because he was hard and he was swinging his arms around. I was standing up and straightening my wee backpack when much to my surprise I saw Dennis himself at the back of the crowd, reading a book. I felt a bit like a twelveyear old girl as I was walking over to him to hand him my clumsily typed letter. The thing was I felt an odd sort of drive. This man and his group had created some of the most thought provoking music I'd ever heard, and I'd spent hours looking up every little obscure political reference from Guy DeBord to Durruti in an attempt to understand what these guys were about. And I liked what they were about, it was serious stuff. And I'm a serious guy. So I gave him the letter, thinking he'd say "Oh, thanks" and toss it into the rubbish bin but he said to meet him back there after the show. In a cute Swedish accent, no less. I couldn't believe it. I wormed my way back to the front of the crowd for the T(I)NC set and prepared my disposable camera. I took a picture, and the most intrusive flash came out. I was very angry at myself and hoped that the band wasn't too distracted. I waited for the flash light to go off and when it finally did I figured I was in the clear. Wrong! What a nuisance I was! They put on the most passionate show I had ever seen in my life and I was right up against the stage screaming along with the lyrics. After their set I went back into twelveyearold girl mode to talk to Dennis. I got a picture with Sara and Ludwig (yay) and had Dennis autograph my LP. They were all so political and cute. Although since I'm sure that they would not like to be referred as cute please don't tell anyone I said that. Also I don't want you to think that I am just a fan of some "cute little band." I am into them because of their politics. So anyways we talked for a bit and he said sorry he didn't have time for an interview but he gave me his e-mail address. I had a bit of film to go so on my way out I took lots of pictures of the street and accidentally some hardkids. I think they thought I was taking pictures of their girlfriends and gave me very hard looks. Also I think that Dennis thought I was taking his picture from a distance because I could feel a hard look coming from his general direction, whereupon I hastened my pace and started to feel like an arsebandit (whoever used that word in one of their posts, here is a cyber high-5!). I'd made a nuisance of myself but never before had I felt so alive. What a swell night. If any of you get the chance to check out Noise Conspiracy by all means do and if anyone is curious what they are all about please e-mail and I will tell you what I understand about their politics. Lots of love, Timothy. (xTimothyx for you lads and lasses in #sinister) p.s. Does anyone go to Kutztown? p.p.s. Sorry to L.L. I will e-mail you soon! I'm waiting for something profound to say. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

But then I realised maybe someone was trying to crush-vote Larry and couldn't do it because Larry has no email addy. But I receive emails for him as he is such a star. So well, I am not sure about all this vote business now, but well Larry and I feel very honoured. I went to see my parents yesterday and we talked about funny things like my future in-two-months-when-i-will-be-a-graduate. I wonder if it would have been a better day if I was working instead of talking about my future. But then I can't really say to my parents I want to be a bus driver. I am not even sure about being a bus driver or being anything at all. Oh well, time will tell...

You were all bonza with a capital B. I think everything has been said about the music really. Did anyone else read Fat Stewart Lee's review in the Times yesterday? I read it and realised that I hadn't seen most of the bands he mentioned and he might as well have been to a different festival to me. The Queen Vic wasn't mentioned once. The Camber Cafe should have a Belle and Sebastian record in their jukebox next year, courtesy of me, so if the post post rock's making your knees and your brain ache you could always go there and dance under the flashing lights and sounds. It's a good job I like trains because I've been on plenty last week. In Nottingham on Friday Arantxa, Sarah, Big Stu and I went to see the Aislers Set. They were pretty good. Maybe these guitar bands will catch on after all. I asked one of them why they were called the Aislers Set and she didn't know, but said it might have something to do with supermarket aisles. I found it very strange that she didn't know. On the train back home I sat in front of a little boy and his granddad. The little boy was very talkative and kept asking granddad about Iceland. "Granddad, are there volcanoes in Iceland?" "Yes, that's right." "Is there ice in Iceland?" "Well sometimes, in the winter. Not all the time" "Why is it called Iceland then?" "Well sometimes there is ice there." "How many people live in Iceland?" "Oh, not many." "How many's not many?" The little boy started kicking the back of my seat. "About a million I should say" "A million? That's loads!. Do people live on Jupiter?" Granddad sighed. "No they don't. It's made out of gas, you see." "Where do aliens live then?" "Aliens only live in films. They're not real. Stop kicking the back of that seat." "How many countries beginning with "m" are there?" "Oh, not very many" "How many?" Granddad sighed again. "Well, Malta. That's one" "Is there just one?" "Morocco, that's two." "How many people live in Morocco?" "I don't know." "How many people live in South America?" Poor granddad. He was really being too factual for his own good. Standing by the door listening to his walkman through ear sized headphones was a man who looked like an albino. I tried to get a look at his eyes without him noticing me, but it was impossible. I think Struan should write a song about an albino boy. It must be a pretty strange life to have, with people staring at you sideways the whole time. When I was younger, immersion heaters were much more important, and hot water was always running out. Pigeons kept falling down the chimney and getting stuck behind the mock fire effect fireplace. These things don't happen any more and I don't know why. Less baths and less pigeons I suppose. Jonathan and David? Middle Distance Runner as a B-side? I'm very excited.

Smell the sweet Spring air. Something about this day must be factored into all equations. It is as pristine and serendipitous a day as I can remember. Whisk that feeling of malaise under the rug and pour yourself a cold beverage of your choice. So, Belle & Sebastian in the news again. And is the timing a coincidence? I think not! Struan and company must have been lying low, forefingers held up to gauge for the perfect breeze. Song titles and release dates, these are the tools of the dreamer. And I would be lying if I said I cast a blind eye upon such news. Nothing gets me more excited in fact. So, from a variety of sources we can determine we shall be listening to a new EP not long after the passing of this season, and a second at the end of the next. Belle & Sebastian have a thing for summer EPs, do they not? Can we expect such "hidden" gems as "Songs for Children," and that gorgeous Martin Duffy-inspired piano / organ instrumental on Legal Man? Such tiny prizes make these EPs works of Belle & Sebastian and not some other oft-admired band. And a tour! It is wishful thinking to imagine New York will be a destination anytime soon, but hopefully it would not be so far behind. It occurred to me today that Loneliness is finally getting released, when they played it on their last U.S. tour. Ten thousand playings of MP3s and hissy tapes has dulled its insistency for me somewhat, but I am excited that it will finally see the light of day. It seems it has found its outing sooner than lonelier still Lord Anthony. My life has not been without Belle & Sebastian moments lately. I find myself these days a bit detached from Sinister. I can't connect with the lives of people I will never meet in the way I used to I guess. Or at least by this template. But don't take that as a dig, I'm not bitter. And to be honest I do skim most of the posts and read some. I just feel a bit guilty sometimes, not being a lurker when really I don't read enough posts myself. But the best Belle & Sebastian moment of note lately was last Saturday. I went, with no small degree of trepidation, to Tiswas here in New York. It has been described in various shades of black and white to me, so I was expecting a dull grey, but really the naysayers seem to have been wrong, at least on this Saturday. Again, perhaps that Spring Breeze is to blame. Not without its faults surely but I had a lovely time dancing to Legal Man and other songs too numerous to note. In a perfect world it would have been The Boy with the Arab Strap, but perfection is boring. That was my first ever experience dancing to Belle & Sebastian. Here's to hoping it's not the last. That is the extent of what I wished to impart. My comings and goings of late seem to be tied closely with the occurrance of content. News of Belle & Sebastian always makes me listen to Belle & Sebastian, I don't know quite why. But as the distinct possibility of more news and content looms on the horizon I will surely be around. I am always here, of course. Resting on couches and desk chairs, making tapes, watching my desk slowly become messier and messier, meeting friends on shaded patios and in smoky bars, writing stories with no characters or settings. Until then I will put The Boy with the Arab Strap on and sip my cherry Kool-Aid. Maybe go for a walk...

There will be a York picnic on May 5th to coincide with the London one and, as a complete coincidence of course, my birthday (I think I've plugged my birthday enough on sinister now). I'm not entirely sure of the exact location yet, although it will be around the university somewhere, preferably near swings and away from 14 year old kids with skateboards (where have they all come from?) I will post more details later when I have worked them out. Please come people, send me an e-mail if you are. It would be nice to see some people other than the ones I know will already be coming. It's only a short trip from Sheffield or Leeds, I'm sure you can manage it...please. P.S. Is anyone else meeting up for the Stu D reading/signing in Oxford St on Thursday? What's happening?

Message-ID: Hello all again. Well, for those who remember me, TAA-DAAAAH!!! I'm back, and for those who don't, hello, my name's Sam and I like B&S, among other bands. As some of you may remember, I left the list in mid November amid a farewell post parodying Mark and Lard, because I got a job for the winter in a ski resort, and so for the last five months I've been in Tignes, France, generally having fun and meeting fellow B&S loversand music fans. However, as is normally the pattern for me, it all ended slightly too early, as last week I tore my cruciate and medial ligaments in my left knee, and had to go home, which wasn't good news. I had one week left on my contract though, so I got almost as much time in the mountains in as the other workers out there. I was still sad to go. All in all, the 'season experience' was fun, although for the first two months I hated it quite a lot - people were really shallow and boring and macho and said stupid things, but then I realised that life is about what you make of it and the about the people you meet, not the people you are thrust upon, and after that I met some really nice people, and started to have a lot of fun. Anyway, you don't want to hear about all that, so I won't tell you. This is just a post basically to say that I'm on again, and that if any veteran Sinis want to send me sympathy about the impending surgery which is required on my knee then that would be nice. Oh yeah, and if Carsmile would like to send me details of the London picnic that would be fab. Right then, it's truly great to be back... love Sam.x P.S. What's all this about TLOAMDR being released and a tour? What've I missed? Ho-hum, I'll scour the archives... _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

That's right, Mummy, every post. Many nights ago Lucy dreamed: "Miss Honey was taking assembly in my old school hall, wearing a well-cut tweed skirt (with a split right up the back showing her fishnet stockings) and a cream, slightly see-through blouse, a long string of pearls swinging from her neck" & Geneviève didn't comment :( I too look forward to the STuD/Peacock panto/fiasco on Thursday evening, but fear I may have to rush off early before the real fun starts to see a bunch of phoney Glaswegian gang members who really went to public school. Did I get that last bit right, Edna? Also, who's going to spill the beans on the real Peacock Johnson in chat dissing Stuart David story? The Shooting Stars In Bright Formation have all disappeared from view. Were they cut off, or driven away by the rejuvenating experience of seeing The Aislers Set? I've been lucky enough to see them 3 times recently & they really are a Top Pop Group, well up there with Destiny's Child & The Sugababes. But with nicer smiles. Apparently there was a Belle And Sebastian gig recently, but no reports from listees. Were Sinisterines banned from entering? INTERNATIONAL COLLARING CONTEST I have a great collection of coins from countries all over the world. However I don't have many banknotes. So I have thought of a fantastic way of adding to my collection. To make it more fun I have initiated a contest, the winner of which will be the person who sends me the highest value note. Ask me for my address when you've saved up for the biggest one you can get. When I've got enough cash I'll post the winner's name & a .jpg of the note on Sinister. Oh, and to encourage you I'd like to point out that my car drinks a fantastic amount of petrol (gas), I drive about 25,000 miles a year & petrol is very expensive. APPOINTMENTS I'd like to wish good luck & success to acting ListMummy Lulou in her new position - I know she'll do a grate job. There's someone else I'd like to wish good luck to (and morever good health). The last two weeks especially have been packed with fantastic events, made all the more so by the company I enjoyed them in. It strikes me that I wouldn't have met any of those people (well, except for The Pinefox's perfect party hostess Sally, but then I've known her since before she was born) if I hadn't plucked up the courage to attend a Sinister event one day a couple of years ago. So its all down to Honey/Paul. Thanks a lot, mate. Have a good rest & we'll see you back at the helm when you're feeling a bit better. ON THE SCROUNGE A bit of list abuse, sorry. Apparently The Aislers Set played a Peel session which was broadcast last Tuesday - did anyone tape it? It included a Joy Division cover. I have some stuff to swap for it. And did anyone record the repeated Hefner session which went out last Thursday night? I have been a bit vague this week & have been missing APHRODITE IN FURS Thanks to Pauline for the latest, S&M flavoured episode of her aristocratic memoirs. I had to reach for the dictionary three times, always a pleasure to have ones vocabulary stimulated! And what a hectic life you lead! So jealous! TODAY YOUR LOVE, TOMORROW THE WORLD Bye bye & God Bless, Joey.

Mmm so sad. Of course, Elena, you could be thankful that you didn't get the same reward for your work that Jesus got for his. Of course, if Christ was in my business he would have at least used that cross as effective advertising space as he carried it up the hill. Not that I can fault his publicity plan since his book is the most published one in existence... Here in the states Easter has already been forgoteen seeing as it's the last day to file one's taxes. Along with sticking all of my money in an IRA today (deduct me, baby), I'm barely sliding my return in before the deadline. Instead of considering myself as lazy, I like to think I'm perfecting skills which I will use my entire life - mainly that of procrastinating and rationalization. David Moore reminds me of Pappy Maverick a bit so I won't be hurt that he made fun of me. I'll just pretend he said something like, "Never cry over spilt milk. It could've been whiskey" or "Stay clear of weddings because one of them is liable to be your own." However, I have been getting a couple of questions about the *****TRANSATLANTIC MIX TAPE CHALLENGE 2001***** so I thought I would clear some things up: 1. Yes, Jason "Jim Crow" McKinnon was right. There will be a separate but equal contest for CD mixes as well. Though there are completely different rules to making mix cds than mix tapes. 2. For those who have been worrying about the time factor (Peter Carter, Sweetie, Mr. Meskers) - don't. The deadline is whenever I get enough tapes to judge and no one else is saying there going to send another in. Of course, also follow the advice of Zippy's father and "don't dawdle". I'm glad that Sam has rejoined us, even if it was because of a nasty skiing incident. It seems as if they have been all the rage lately and I hope that Jer and Rob Brennan are feeling better from their snow related mishaps as well. I think it all goes to show you that winter sports are OF THE DEVIL. I know this from firsthand experience when three of my male (AKA evil) friends persuaded me to go snowboarding with them in Sun Valley, Idaho. My first warning was that the infamous Bald Mountain has ski runs cut out so that it spells RIP. Why didn't I run? My second signal is that these friends are the ones who are always trying to involve me in activities which always cause me concussions (ie- hiking in canyons where humans shouldn't go, rockclimbing, etc). Why didn't I hide? I had been snow-shoeing the previous winter and it turned out all right. In fact, I loved it! I even ended up in Bruce Willis's backyard (though I said if I ever retold that story that I would end up in his living room sipping hot chocolate.) So, I go out with them. Usually when I go sledding I end up tromping up the snowy bank once, sneaking the book I had in my pocket out, and sitting on a stolen inner tube reading in the snow while everyone else sleds. With everything being white, it's absolutely gorgeous. However, no one else likes this approach. This was my first time snowboarding and more of an introductory course (Laura's bum meet the frigid Snow. Icy Cold snow meet Laura's behind. Play nice since you'll be spending a lot of time together). It all ended with me having a bloody face and yet another concussion. To be honest (I'm not a boy so isn't hard for me to be that), I didn't actually get injured WHILE snowboarding. However, someone once overheard me discussing how exactly I did get hurt to another friend and they found it so funny they dropped on the floor convulsing with the laughter. After that, I swore I would never tell anyone how it really happened. So, I still maintain my original story that I was coming down when that baby stroller appeared from no where.... Speaking of illness and injury, I believe I have developed a syndrome. Not Tourette's per se but something akin to it. Every time I meet or see a girl named Adrian I completely want to yell her name out Rocky style. This is a curse!! Today, I'm getting my blood drawn by this kindly girl who is quietly humming as she shoves a sharp needle into my arm.* I'm trying not to look at my blood go into the little tube when I glance up to see IT. Right there on a small gold rectangle. "Adrianne." It was all I could do to restrain myself from leaping up, throwing my arms over my head and shouting ADDDRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIANNNEEEE! which with the blood and needle involved would not have painted a pretty picture. Wasn't Sly Stallone in porn film? Don't worry I'm not going to recount my tales of me, Jewel Shepard, and the velour padded bra disco lounge again. Even if Vu did a lovely drawing of it. I always like Vu's drawings except when I'm in them. I think he gets his feelings hurt because I never like how he draws me but it has nothing to do with his abilities. Evidently, he says he can't post this one since I've already been drawn. I guess there's a rule or something. I say no one knows what I look like and so it's not as if the drawings will look alike. Go for it! Heh. Though I keep getting told by those who do know me that I look like the bass player from the Aislers Set, especially my smile. I've looked for pictures on-line but i couldn't find any and since I've only heard of them from Sinister posts - I don't know. I probably shouldn't say this since I don't have any idea what the girl looks like and she could be the type to make you want to hide under your bed (though that would be ace!). So, if anyone has a picture of her could you please send it my way so I know who is going around stealing my face. How big a girl is she? I wonder if I could take her? *thinks of Kim Deal* Those bass players can be pretty scrappy.... Laura * No, Ree, there was no lolli involved. Unfortunately. PS - Requisite Dorothy Parker bit: "Once in her long-running feud with Clare Boothe Luce, Mrs. Luce held the door open for Mrs. Parker to walk through and said, 'Age before beauty.' Mrs. Parker walked through and said, 'Pearls before swine.' Another time, when told that Mrs. Luce was kind to her inferiors, Dorothy said, 'And where does she find them?" PPS - Why does Lisa get all the fun? No one has been throwing long, tall, rather attractive b&s fans at me! PPPS - Steve you've been biggin up your team so much that I've decided to see them in Baltimore on Wednesday. You best be praying they perform well. I'm surprised you haven't entered in the mix tape contest yet. Not that I know about your mixin' abilities, but I figure that anyone who likes Maryland's athletic teams has to be pretty good about talkin trash when he can't necesarrily back up his words with action. hehe *scampers off before steve can thwack her* _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <001401c0c6e8$a8d94ee0$83c6fea9@wiggy> Oy! Sinistaah! I always thought that Hefner's 'I Love Only You' featured the lyric "Who gave you the right, to use my leotard?". But apparently, it's "little heart" , not "leotard", so I'm boycotting Hefner in protest. Instead I'm listening to Magic Man by Heart over and over again, because it features the best porn-guitar riff on any record, ever. I've been in Tunisia. It was crap. Enough said. Actually, though, I'm being too harsh. Yes, admittedly, Tunisia suffers from the huge problem that when the bar staff are trying to chat you up, you feel guilty about getting them to buy you drinks, as your trainers (New! Red! Sexy!) alone cost their, like, yearly income. But to dismiss the whole country as being rubbish on the basis of that alone would be to forget the existence of the best hairdressing venue on earth - the mightily named "Mods ' Hair Palace". Who could resist a name like that? So, naturally, I'm now dark blonde, with peroxide streaks and dark on the sides. It's very boyband, very camp, very Boy G. Is there a second Samantha Mumba single yet? 'Always Come Back To Your Love' was absolutely brilliant. And now, a pause to catch your breath before The! Best! News! Ever! In! The! Entirety! Of! Greg's! Life! (breath) I'm going to New York! Woooo! Yes, only for work experience, but I shall finally get to see the city where, when I'm grown up, I plan to run my own detective agency, and be a Private Eye. Oh, the suits I'll wear! Oh, the hats I'll don, and the rakish angles I'll wear them at! But that's later. In the meantime, are there any New York Sinis who could show me around? Or, ideally, give me a place to stay for a fortnight? It's all terribly exciting. You can exhale now, if you want to. On other news, Matthew Brown still smells of wee. But he's now not talking to me, which suggests, rather delightfully, that yes, he did read my last post. Thanks to everybody who sent Mad Propz for that, and especially to Honey, who missprintsearchadded it. Honey, I for one wuv yoo, think you're a great list mum, and hope you'll come back soon. Tech-heads, vegan geeks and students should play Aardwolf Mud, it's the best one out there by miles. On German TV, they show entire Destiny's Child concerts, and sometimes, halfway through, Lil' Bow Wow runs onstage and slaughters them in freestyle duels. Lil' Bow Wow is my idol. I bet if he saw that irritating twat off Channel Four racing, the one with the comedy sideburns, he'd get Snoop Doggy Dogg to shoot him in the shins. The book House of Leaves gives you nightmares. I honestly promise it does. Does anyone out there have Spaced Series Two, episodes two, five or six on video? Please? Pretty please? I'll be so massively grateful, and I promise I 'll send them back when I'm done, with a bonus mixtape attached. Honest. Applicants should state their views on the Baxendale massive, to help determine the content of the tape. So, a new B&S single. Yes. Good.

At least I think it is. I would go and check in the TV guide, but I have the cat on my lap as I type this, and so am reluctant to kick him off. The only reason I mention the film is because if Struan liked the flick enough to steal its title (albeit partially) for a song, then some of us may like it too.

Message-ID: I don't think anyone has mentioned this, so I thought I would. My flatmate recently alerted me to the fact that the cover star on the current issue of Caledonia magazine (for posh Scottish people) is a certain Ms. I Campbell, of whom you may have heard. I immediately dashed down to my local newsagents, but found that they're not posh enough to stock it. I dashed over (well, ambled) to a newsagents in the New Town and had a wee look at the three-page article, which can be summarised as "she's got this band called The Gentle Waves, too". Oh, and the interviewer was surprised that she wasn't too twee to giggle at the technical photographic term "ring-flash". I imagine most people round here would chortle uproariously at such a word. Some non-content stuff: Robin Stout recently overheard an old man telling his wee grandchild that a million people live in Iceland. I can divulge the astounding secret that that's a *huge* overestimate. The population of Iceland is only about the same as that of Wolverhampton, England. I know loads more tedious facts about the Nordic countries, but the only thing I know about Wolverhampton is that it has the same population as Iceland. If you want to know more, ask your local Black Country expert (if you can understand her accent). Well, I assume it's not the *same* population. Maybe someone could try nipping quickly from Wolverhampton to Reykjavik and seeing if one or the other seems strangely deserted. Content again: I was listening to TBWTAS this morning---I like to listen to B+S first thing as I get up, it makes recovering-all-senses somewhat easier---and I couldn't help thinking that the lyrics to Dirty Dream Number Two *actually* sound like "could you put a name to someone else's *thighs*", rather than the printed lyric "sigh". Is this just a mistake on my part, or is this what is actually on the record? I know there are quite a few places where the published lyrics differ from the recorded ones; I have thought about being all geeky and compiling a webpage with them all on. It would only be a few hours work, or rather, "work". Not Content: Robin (as above) also mentioned that the day of immersion heaters has passed. Not in my house, it hasn't. Nor at my parents, where I usually use up all their hot water by taking 73 bottles into the shower. Someone *ages* ago asked if there really are disused stations on the London Underground which the trains pass through, as per the book (and TV series) "Neverwhere". Indeed there are; a few examples being British Museum, Aldwych and South Kentish Town. John Betjeman wrote a nice little short story about a commuter who gets off his train at South Kentish Town by mistake, and has to sit on the deserted, unlit platform until the wee small hours, when he gets rescued by the tunnel-cleaners. Oh, that magazine article again. *Before* any of you ask (including you, Ken), the article did not feature, in any way, the words "arse", "lard", or any combination or synonyms for the above. I just thought I'd better get that straightened out, otherwise it could lead to *months* of debate. David Moore wanted someone to spill the beans about Peacock Johnson appearing in internet chat. If that was what I'm thinking of, wasn't it a whole month ago? That's *ages*! I missed some (most?) of it, but I probably still have the logs of what I saw somewhere. Greg P said that House of Leaves gave him nightmares. It gave me that ominous feeling of "will I miss anything if I skip the rest of this page?" My advice to anyone thinking of reading it: skip the bits printed in Courier. Ok, though, it's a scary *idea*. One last thing: unlike thousands of you (it seems), I have never met any pop stars. The nearest I have come was one of my university tutors, who said he used to be in a band called Revenge, back in the 1980s. I've only ever met one person who has heard of them, so it definitely doesn't count. He is listed in "Rock Family Trees", though.

That's all... << Sorry, but the REAL reason Struan used that particular title is because IRON MAIDEN did a song called "The loneliness of the long distance runner", and Sturan is secretly, like me, a RAWK CITIZEN, and wrote a tribute song to them. If you listen to the said song carefully, you'd ALSO discover that despite popular beliefs, String Bean Jean's explosive RAWK riff is in fact not stolen from The Kids Aren't All Right, but in fact the Intro of "Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner"! The next B&S single "Jonathan and David" features the guitar solo, hence why the whole CD is an Iron Maiden special.

Well, I finally flew to Salt Lake City to meet her after chatting with her for a month on Sinister. It turns out that she might be more of a fan of B&S than myself as she has both a B&S bus t-shirt and LLPJ vynil. I had no idea. It turns out that she remembered me buying my first B&S CD (IYFS) when she knew me two years ago and she decided to purchase all of the albums herself. I'm so in love but don't anybody tell her that because she's the type to wait an obligatory amount of time before any words like that are allowed to be mentioned. I should also add that Agnes bought a Nick Drake CD while I visited, so she now has all three of my favorites (which include Frente). Anyway, the love-story continues. Hopefully there will be more to write about in the future.

PEACOCKS AND RHINESTONES i read the peacock manifesto on sunday, and must say i was slightly disappointed with the sketchy characterisation, though obviously impressed by the truly prodigious swearing. who'd have thought 'fuck' would still have meaning after the 150th repeat? someone who would have been wrong... oh well, i'm sure it will be a more interesting experience 'live' tomorrow. glen campbell obviously has significance for b&s musicians both past and present. i've got a soft spot for rhinestone cowboy myself as it formed part of my parents' eccentric collection of 7" singles when i was growing up. i suspect it went the way of other gems such as 'i am woman' and 'the birdy song' when my parents split up though - ie. nobody knows where it is and nobody can be bothered to start a messy custody battle by asking.

Oh dear, LLl, didn't you know that half the male population of London (Sinisterines, at least) have serious crusheroonies on that girl? Sally and I think she bears remarkable resemblance to 'British Television's Perkiest Presenter', Anthea Turner http://www.anthusiast.freeserve.co.uk/ but it doesn't seem to make any difference. The crusheroonies have struck and there's nothing to be done. LLl, do you look like Anthea Turner? I understand that if you do, this has no bearing on your character. AS bass girl does have a lovely smile though (as does Anthea, of course), as we witnessed at Pow to the People on Saturday afternoon. Also playing were The Tyde, who bear remarkable resemblance to 'Shit Dad Rockers', Ocean Colour Scene http://www.homestead.com/thewastedyouth/hate.html and a whole load of bands I was too busy drinking alkyhol and scoffing pot noodles to watch. Alkyhol and noodles... gosh, this weekend bore remarkable resemblance to ATP, 'Where Our Chalet ROCKED' (no url for this one, but it is true nonetheless) especially as I met Robin for the first time at ATP and Peetsketchsteve for the first time on Saturday. Wahey! This paragraph is long enough. Time to hit the return key... Robin's child/old man conversation reminded me of this: I was a terrible eavesdropper on Saturday. I went downstairs to relieve myself of the Stella that had somehow managed to collect in my stomach (how on earth did it get there?!) and was happily enthroned when I heard the following conversation emanating from the next cubicle: Girl One: I'm really not sure this is a good idea... Girl Two: But I want to prove to you that I can! Girl One: Listen, I'm ten years older than you, I don't think we should... Girl Two: But I can act ten years older, just let me show you! *****ten seconds of silence***** Girl Two: This really isn't a good idea... Girl One: But I want to... *****further ten seconds of silence***** &c. Well, as you can imagine, I got out of there sharpish, wanting to give the naughty pair some space and to save my blushes, obviously. Needless to say, the gentlemen I related this tale to upon my return to the bar were extremely interested, for purely anthropological reasons, of course. Yay, first picnic of the season! Steve, I think the first one is at Primrose Hill, so we can justify having the one in June for Martin's buffday in Greenwich. Is that right? Anyone? Anyone? D-O-O Economics &c. I'm getting all excited already, even though it's not for another two and a bit weeks. Mmm, bouze. I've been doing it a bit much lately and I thought of giving up for a while (now, that's a sign of ageing if ever I saw one) but I can't find a whole month without any picnics or parties going on so I'll just have to keep getting drunk. What a shame. Speaking of incorrigible drunks, I hear Scotland may be quite well represented at the picnic. York people, why don't you come too instead of having your own picnic. If people can come from Glasgow and Greece, can't you? Go on... Oh, I've just remembered another drunken tale of woe. At Sally's Best Sinister Party for Months, I displayed my unique (at least amongst the people I know) ability to stick out my tummy and make myself look pregnant. It's a difficult thing to pull off, as you mustn't arch your back in the process - that's the biggest giveaway to fake pregnancies, don't you think? Anyway, I think everyone was suitably impressed, so I then confessed that sometimes, when the train is particularly sardinish, I stick my tummy out to make myself look pregnant and wait for somebody to offer me their seat. Am I cruel, evil and bad? I don't let old folks or real pregnant women stand up for me though. That would just be too cruel, evil and bad.

Do peasants walk with their hands unfolded; innocent and open-palmed, whilst us *sophisticates* clench our fists in a grown-up manner? Is it the exposure of a mis-directed directive? On another level, I've heard of folded arms, but folded hands? How obscure. Is it a riddle? Nonsense? Rhetorical enigma or a quote from a book: an artful snippet? Relax, I suggest to myself. Just absorb what's there (I slurp coffee from a flask and gaze out of the window). Imagine the birchwoods described by Turgenev in *a Hunter's Sketches* or other landed Russians writing of the rural set-up and the peasantry. Play the woodland notion and Malaprop to 'pheasant': strutting ridiculous or resting under the fold of its wing. Think also of the word 'child' and the fondness of a parent as they walk side by side, the taller watching out for the smaller; raising to silly mores, well-meant: the improving artifice and progressive ideal. People like Lewis Grassic Gibbon (Scots writer) thought progress was bad... is this what B&S are on about? Fair enough: I wrote this in a speeding train with a plastic pen and a minidisc providing the Belle & Sebastian and now it's in E-mail format... I like progress! Does anyone know what the title means? I thought I'd get that in before any new stuff comes out. I looked up the whole phrase on sinister but there were no matches found: was it instantaneously abbreviated? Questions, questions, questions... and what's the photo of the almost-mirror and the eyeliner? and is the picture with musicians on the stairs all dressed-up a reference to that film that starred Klaus Kinski's daughter in a gorilla outfit in a big white clapboard house in, maybe...the Hamptons?

Message-ID: well hello there its been a while, a long while but here goes... first a big hello and thank you to all the lovely listees i met at pow! to the people 2 on sunday. the aislers set and the clientelle were just lovely, and the pot noodle incident which juicylucy alluded to was most amuzing... i feel much better as the new kid in london to have been spotted for what i am and to have found some kindred spirits. i think its something about feeling that you belong without losing your individuality, or something. i managed to stand next to the bass player from the aislers set and chat to her during one of the other sets, and she was very fetching in her stripy top and not at all like anthea turner. i'd be quite distressed if i thought i was attracted to anthea turner lookalikes. i'm gutted that i missed them on john peel, especially being a huge joy division fan and all... i can also now recommend a band called vermont too, they played one track that was a bit like i could be dreaming and another a bit like 23 minutes in brussels by luna. fab. i'm very glad that someone else has noticed the iron maiden references in b&s. maiden were my first real gig and though i've largely grown out of my rawk heritage i'm still rather partial to a drop of black sabbath. im having a sulk this evening as the lovely girl i met last wednesday *still* hasnt got in touch and i've had to bring work home. not fair! peetsketchsteve _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <009a01c0c79d$58f7c680$04387ad5@g> So many things and where to start??? Gordon: Brought up the issue of folded hands... "...whilst us *sophisticates* clench our fists in a grown-up manner? ". I thought that the hands were not folded in on themselvs, but folded into your other hand... either infront of or behind the body. Behind probably works better. Perhaps there they can happily bounce against your arse in an aristocratic manner... hmm maybe not... that doesn't sound aristocratic at all to me... oh I don't know. Gneiss: mentioned disused tube stations and getting ficticiously stuck at them. I had a dream about this once, Whne I emerged from it (the station not the dream) I was trapped in war torn Sarajevo... obviously I'm a little insecure about London... though I do love the buzz it has. Right then. I don't know if any other sinisterians were at the Rocket/Cockpit in Leeds tonight for the Clearlake gig.. I did keep an eye out for anyone looking remotely... There was a girl wearing a rather fetching jumper-coat thing, I liked it, but I don't think that necessarily made her a list member. I've met quit a few non-list members with good fashion taste. Anyway, despite the dodgy sound quailty (the shape of the room doesn't help) they played a fantastic set. I really liked that the band sang along (to themselves not the mics) it showed they were enjoying themselves. Grrr... The York picnic would be in term time, when I'll be back in Aberystwyth, and no-where near York... indeed there will be exams and I will be merrily stressing (merriment available only while stocks last). I shall have my very own Aberystwyth sinister picnic to comemorate the event, this will probably just be me, although anyone else who'd like to come is very welcome to drop me an email. If I don't hear from anyone then I might restrict the picnic to a bag of crisps while my friends are about as I'm not a big fan of eating on my own. Does a bag of crisps count as a picnic? Salt and vinegar I think... yes. Hmmm... I spotted that channel four were looking for their fave TV music monets the other day... they had some number we're supposed to ring and vote. I'd very much like to vote for Belle and Sebastian at the brits... sdo I'll look out for the number. Heh, maybe we should rig the vote... As for my subject line for today... This is something to try only when you are very bored, very bored indeed... that is how this game was born. What you do is to think of an everyday item, and work out what the opposite of it is, and then justify your choice. It works even better with two people... 1: What's the opposite of post boxes? 2: A glass of Lemonade. 1: Why? 2: Well, A glass is singular, post boxes are plural. Lemonade is fizzy and liquid, you put it in glasses and drink it, and you can mix it with vodka, or ribena. You don't put letters in lemonade unless you want them very soggy. It's not red, and you don't see it standing on street corners. It doesn't have delivery times printed on it. So A glass of lemonade is obviously the oppsoite of post boxes. My sister and I played this in the car on a LONG journey. We were told off as it might confuse our little brother (11 bless him) who apparently has some opposites section in his SATs or something... still could be good to give the markers a laugh. Right then... that's quite enough of that for now. Love and such.

Change at VICTORIA for: The VICTORIA Line..." Message-ID: Sini-stars, My favourite Tube line for announcements is the Circle Line. The voice sounds like a little girl who was forced to speak the names of stations and connections without fully understanding what any of it means. By far the greatest bit is when she says: "Please mind the... GA-AP between the train and the platform" like someone nudged her with a rifle during the recording. I can't believe these recordings were considered usable and that they've been used for as long as I've lived here, so in case they suddenly disappear, as of today I shall be taking my minidisc recorder on the Tube to preserve these aural artifacts for future, puzzled generations. Anyway, let's get topical: Easter A fine four days, despite having to work on saturday, whilst still drunk/very ill from Sally's excellent party the night before. I eschewed further socialising and expenditure by staying in and eating loads. And watching Flash Gordon. Thus becoming the only person in the country not to see The Aislers Set last week. Today, I bought my easter egg, as I don't receive them any more (half price at the Co-Op, Greenwich people...) Klaus Kinski Was amused by Gordon's reference* as I'm reading his autobiography at the moment. Has anyone else read it? It's amazing, like a 'Confessions..' film, but true. (*The film with Nastassja is 'Hotel New Hampshire,' not that I've seen it though) Celebrity stalkers Like Pez, I used to see Johnny/Pete X all the time in Newcastle, too. Then, I used to get followed around London by the singer from Gomez. Then it was Danny Baker. It seems to have stopped now. PJ Harvey came into my work the other day, though. Perhaps she's the latest agent they've sent... Bobby & Larry Living with Bobby the 'cockroach' and Larry the 'frog' has opened me up to the possibility that I have the ability to see things as they really are, like in They Live or The Invisibles, as neither creature resembles their alleged form, to me. Rather, they're freaky space monsters who control our will to consume and conform, in preparation for their masters inheriting the planet.... I'll, er, let you know if the situation worsens...

Message-ID: <002401c0c7af$cf253420$6700000a@infotrek.co.uk> Although it is hardly philosophical, I can't help thinking that there are two sorts of days. One where nothing can go wrong, and the other where everything falls apart in one's hands. Perhaps it is just the result of complacency that it seems as if these diurnal patterns are irreversible. Once the trend is there for the day, nothing can be done. Or maybe there is some whimsical homonculus bestowing good days and bad days on people, keeping his little accounts sheets like a demonised accountant. A week good. A week bad. This person has had far too long feeling bad. Today the sun will seem to shine even if it is overcast. No, not very philosophical at all. I should be ashamed really. But would it have been more interesting if I had of written that it was all down to chemicals and that we're really organic machines? Since it seems the style of the 21st century to sacrifice beauty for economics, I prefer to sacrifice philosophy to being interesting. The point of this, however, was that it seemed as if today was a bad one for me. Everything started off badly. But it has all been reversed, not least because, in the same day, people have mentioned Iron Maiden and Confessions... films. I have had a bit of a fondness for Robin Askwith ever since I saw one of his film on Channel 5 at some ungodly hour of the night when I no doubt should have been doing something more productive than watching saucy British comedies. Nevertheless, I can't help but smile when I recall all those scenes when his pale arse is bobbing up and down on top of some buxom English wench, only to be interrupted by some old biddy barging in, setting off a fire extinguisher or any number of other hilarious calamities. And as for Iron Maiden, well, I can't help but raise a smile about them, too. Especially the trousers. And the screeching. I think, if I were to do karoake again (which is unlikely after the rendition of Jailhouse Rock I gave in Las Vegas), I think I would do Run to the Hills. Just to try and scream like Bruce Dickinson. My voice would probably give up and crack, though. I could always try and cover up by saying I was really singing it in the style of Emily Dickinson. In addition to these joys, I bought a record of the Sound of Music today, for 50 pence. I feel a little bit of glee at how I managed to come away so cheaply with something so wonderful. It is as if a little bit of joy slipped through the net of capitalism, directly into my hands. I even had money left over to buy a Wispa in the Underground. And, since everything is going so well, I should stop to bask a while. Then I can sleep and, with all the luck in the world, when I wake up it will be a sunny Spring day and not this cold weather which seems to be doggedly clinging on, quite disinterested in the time of the month or the fact that I am sick to death of grey skies and tedious, soporific rain. I wish everyone well, and hope that the aforementioned homonculus is kind to them. Ruvi. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I have been missing London something fierce (snap! snap! head waggle a la rupaul) lately, and this list with its LLovelly LLondonians makes that llonging all the more poignant and sweet... (nods to the ever LLuscious LLaura LLew, who btw, understands the inherent greatness of Virginia W. and will tell you about it if you ask really nicely).. I am -- (to namecheck a few): *w/ Ruvi and the Wispa of delight , eaten no doubt to the strains of a spinning Julie Andrews, while on some coloured line in that tangled web (we weave) in the underground *in tune with Mike W. , who delights in the dulcet tones of the Circle Line announcer girl *clearly the soulmate of Johnathan Howell, who brings us the amazingly offkilter and therefore sumptuous repast of an "opposites" game and a vision of red postboxes filled to the brim with lemonade... *thinking of Gordon, who worked out, fairly succinctly I might add, the larger and smaller postmodern issues and tangents related to "fold yer hands..." while on the speeding efficiency of the modern tube train... So, yes, ahem...right. I am a English person trapped in a Texan's body I sometimes think...(*just* an Anglophile? Surely it's much deeper than that!) I would love to read more current English authors (preferably ones who write extensively about London, ala Nick Horby and such) and am looking for some recommendations...something fun, thoughtful etc. to read whilst listening to Belle and Sebastian even (Oooh, that couldn't be content rearing it's head could it?) If you've read this far (congrats! Is my undying love the grand prize or merely the emotional equivalent of Turtle Wax?), and have some suggestions for London-oriented reading material , please email me off list and I shall be ...

(For opposite reasons, obviously) ***OH MY GOD*** (part one) ***NEW BELLE & SEBASTIAN SONG*** (Fact) ***OH MY GOD*** Hmmm. I was scanning through Napster today ... not something I do regularly, but whenever I do, I always check for B&S stuff. (I also do this at record stores. I mean, I *know* there won't be a new album I haven't heard of or anything, but I always check just in case). Anyway, what should I find but a new studio track called (I think) "Jeremy in Chicago" (sorry, I could have the first name wrong ... it file is at work, and I've been out and I'm tired ....) So, yeah, anyone heard of this song? It's really short ... about 2 and a half minutes, is *really* poppy and is sung by Stuart Murdoch. It's a bit of a story-song, which made me thing it could possibly be part of the film soundtrack or something. It's very very good, although I feel a certain shame in owning it. I mean, I had the opportunity to get tracks from "Peasant ..." before it came out, and held back ..... but this was just too exciting. Any info greatly appreciated. ***NEW B&S STUFF*** (Hearsay) So if Matador have info about the new single on their site, how come Jeepster hasn't sent out one of their once-regular-now-sporadic-to-say-the-least newsletters. I hate being out of the loop. I seem to remember someone saying "take your carrige clock" was an instrumental? True? False? ... and more B&S stuff ... Anyone know if the B&S soundtrack album will be split with the other guy? Of just B&S. Hopefully just B&S. Air's "The Virgin Suicides" album was brilliant .... and R.E.M. "and friends" soundtrack was a bit of a crock. More like the former, less like the latter, please. ***OH MY GOD*** (part two) I saw Johnny Marr play "There is a light that never goes out" a few weeks ago, with Neil Finn on vocals. I almost cried. It was so beautiful. One of those completely transcendant moments ...... All is forgiven Johnny, even that blues shite with The Healers. Other stuff. Hope everyone had a nice Easter. Vanessa (my ... err ... "woman") went away for three nights and stayed at a nice hotel, and arsed about, ate good food, went to an AMAZING "geothermal wonderland" in the middle of nowhere, and bought an Orange Juice 12" and a Roxy Music album. ("For Your Pleasure" ... genius) Just went and saw "The Fountainhead" .... great film. Other noteables are "Momento" and "Best In Show". Anyone know if Parker Posy is a B&S fan .... something makes me think she might be. Right, it's late and all ....... take care. Lawrence. PS - anyone who can tell me anything about that song I found ...... please let me know. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

And I was going to mention it, but i felt all sheepish because, a) i thought i would get hit with sticks for saying i'd downloaded something they didn't want people to hear, which always worries me ( now you can just hit lawrence ) b)i decided probably everyone had already heard it and i would be getting excited about 'old news'. and also c) it was listed under 'murdoch' and had no title. but i know mr struans voice and unless there's a good impersonator it was definitely him. hmm. the thought process is clearly over the top. what an empty head i have. 2 ) hehehe. i was at the clearlake gig at the rocket in leeds last night too.

And he reminds me of chris martin from coldplay. which i'm not sure he'd like. but they are more lovely than coldplay, especially with winterlight, jumble sailing and the like ~smile~. 3 ) wow a york picnic. i think i would like to go to a picnic. although i always get nervy at the last minute when i'm meeting people i don't know. Like when you meet someone on a night out, and agree to meet up. then you realise you don't know if you're brave enough to...or even if you remember what they look like. Anyway, I will try and fiddle work, and take a deep breath and go. I think that's quite enough for one day. i get so worried that honey is talking directly to me when she says about posts becoming personal diaries. but there is some content so ~forgive me~ if i have sinned. Love etc.... Grace --- And she spent the rest of the day separating the bits from the marmalade, or, if you prefer, the marmalade from the bits.

Going through 34 back issues of the Sinister Digest (Incorporating The Ribena Seller, The Pink Floyd Bugle and Spreads! Magazine), I was finding myself occasionally tempted to put pen to paper (Neil R made a comment that made me laugh, but I'm not saying what it was - see if you can guess). And then, BANG like a thunderbolt, I knew I had to start my first post in Really Quite Some Time. Elena (beautiful, sultry etc. she may be, but this is fightin' talk) made some kind of connection between Greenwich and picnics. I think it's very important for anyone even thinking of attending a London picnic this year to be aware that THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE IN ARSEING SODDING GREENWICH ALL THE BLOODY TIME. That is all. Ken, excellent pulling tactic. I salute you.

Message-ID: You see the thing is, after Peacock has done his little rant, oh hold on a minute. PEACOCK JOHNSON STUFF, LOOK AWAY NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW (there is some picnic stuff at the bottom, if you want to scan down). So after he's done his little rant about not getting a credit for writing the book with Stuart, he asked for questions from the (frankly rather small, 20 tops) audience, which would've been the perfect opportunity to say: So you've been working with Stuart David a lot on this book, did you happen to notice if he SMELLS OF WEE or not?? then we would've known for sure, oh well, maybe someone else could ask. Oh and maybe asking to see the Peacock tattoo on his arm, cos i'm not sure if he's got one or not. I also failed to take any pics cos i'm rubbish, although peacock failed to join us in the pub (getting pished was the only thing i did succeed in doing last nite), which makes him a big GURL. The event was erm well rather like a dress rehearsal, i suppose is the best way to put it. I would've put more bits from the book in, rather than just random bits about peacock being pissed off (peacock claims that StuD has ripped off his life story and fictionalised him, without giving him any credit (or more importantly, money)), and there was lots of whispering between the three characters (Peacock's wife Bev (looking beautiful in a pink wig) and Evil Bob being the other two), in that kind of "what are we going to talk about next" way. I think that the concept is a really strong one (the characters come across well, possibly better than in the book) and it could work well but it needs a bit more structure and direction, it's a bit flabby at the moment, but hey, what do i know, i've only got a degree in performance arts. There are some really nice bits, like he has stickers with "and Peacock Johnson" on, to stick on the front of all the books, and they do some beatboxing over rhinestone cowboy, which is pretty funny. Anyway, quite a good half an hour, i'm sure it'll change over the week, I'd be interested to hear what happens (I'm having all these sad little wannabe director thoughts about what i could do with it now, oh dear). END OF PEACOCK STUFF, ON TO PICNICS Now you london-types can keep me RIGHT OUT of this, or we'll be going to the picnic arbitration board (ie tossing a coin), so play nice and decide between yourselves, unless we hire a boat and have the whole thing on the Thames (which does have a certain appeal). xoxo CarsmileSteve dinosaur, not frog, clearly. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Mark, Stu and Lucy raise their hands Who wants the first London picnic this year to be in Greenwich? Trousers, Martin, Sally, Pam, Mike, Elena, Larry and all their flatmates raise their hands (which is about 20 hands in the air or so) Now, what is the reasonable solution? Mmm I think Carsmile should flip a coin, it will sort things out, because as Mark said this is fightin' talk (and thank you, you are beautiful and lovely too). My lovely flatmate Mike said: Living with Bobby the 'cockroach' and Larry the 'frog' has opened me up to the possibility that I have the ability to see things as they really are, like in They Live or The Invisibles, as neither creature resembles their alleged form, to me. Well, as you can see, Larry and Bobby are now at home in our house and everybody loves them. Carsmile also said: xoxo CarsmileSteve dinosaur, not frog, clearly. I didn't know you were a dinosaur. I am sure Larry the Frog would be very happy to meet you. Sam Walton is back! Welcome back, I hope you are not angry with French people because you twisted your knee in France...

Jonathan and David is quite an unusual title for a song, I mean, it's hardly Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue, is it? What's it about? Does Stevie sing the recorded version? Is it about shirtlifters? Do I like it? Is it another Northern Soul stomper like Legal Man? Is the David in the title David Coulthard? Is the Jonathan Jonathan King? Is it a cheap attempt to get on Entertainment USA? Is Jeremy in Chicago about Jeremy....hang on a minute, they don't have Jeremys in Chicago! Pull the other one! They have Jerrys. Anyway, I'm delighted that Napster are continuing to support B&S. Not so delighted that I don't qualify to play bass in Rupert's group, but still. You can't have everything. Thank you Carsmile for the Peacock report. Keep them coming in, everybody. Sketchy characterisation is the new rock'n'roll, Rachel. What do you think this is, Victorian Britain? I really like Peacock Johnson, even though I haven't read it. This is quite a step up, I didn't like Nalda Said at all, and I hadn't read that either. Apparently a lot of people's second books are a bit rubbish, so they don't get published. Unless... I heard Girls' Talk by Dave Edmunds on the radio the other day and it was GRATE, I think it may have thrown some light on the recent why is Elvis Costello crap now debate we had a few weeks ago. It would probably take a great leap of the imagination for anyone over, let's say, 28 to write a song like that and give it any conviction. Unless EC was already in his 30s then or something. OK, so this theory needs a bit of work. What I mean to say is that if I just wanted to hear girls' talk I would have to have myself arrested. Yet I could still relate to it. The list has really gone downhill since the shadowy "Linda" took over. It has quickly degenerated into a ferocious slanging match about the London picnic, and people are already advertising illegal Napsters of the band. Come back Honey! I mean, Honey Come Back! Each lonely day's a little bit longer. And thanks, if it wasn't for you, I'd never have met Jordi. That chocolate you gave me was handpicked by child slaves, you know. Jordi manned the wheels of steel at a B&S disco in Gijón on Saturday. I wonder what it was like?

What piffle. In my country we have known 'fizzy drinks' as 'pop' for year upon year, for time out of mind. (That time wasn't bad; at least, not entirely, or not necessarily.) My editor, who looks always ahead, will approve when he learns that I have finally broken my duck, cast aside my musical backwardness, and moved on into the glittery pop future. Yes, I'm getting into The Carter Family. Could the Carters' song 'Single Girl, Married Girl' have been an inspiration for Lush's 'Single Girl'? Was there any inspiration for Lush's 'Single Girl'? Le Winship talked about Victoria. I know what he means. I think I do. The geezer Miller remarked that there had been a debate on Costello, and why he is bad. I read this list more closely than you think, and I don't remember such a debate. Did PJM perhaps have it on his own, with only his pals Pedro and Gonzalez for company and meek contradiction? Anyway, EC is not bad. From where I'm standing (but I'm not) he is probably still the world's greatest songwriter; the greatest to emerge in the last 30 years, anyway. This reminds me of the tangles that one can get into when thinking about things like 'the best songwriter in pop', etc. Should such battles royales include Bacharach, McCartney, Wilson, Harrison, Jagger, Townshend, King? Where is the cut-off point that separates Great People Who Belong To The Hall Of Fame and People Who Are Still In The Running For Thoughts Like Best Songwriter In The World Today? See, I would still put EC in the latter category, though he's starting to push it. B&S fans will be glad to hear that I think he is, or was, or has been, vastly more talented than the talented geezer Murdoch, who probably agrees with me. This may all sound like rambling nonsense without point. But Painted From Memory doesn't. Give it another try. The geezer Miller punctured the silliness of the J&D title with his references to the Coulthard and King. For some reason I really enjoyed them. The references, I mean, not so much the geezers themselves. It was vintage Miller. I have sometimes thought that someone should take 2,000 words or so to explain what is good and funny about the geezer Miller: because there is something there in his sentences that none of us have ever troubled fully to pin down. And if we don't, who will? Oh, of course - the big readership that his Daisywheel publication will get him. David Thomson, who is almost as brilliant as Elvis Costello, and even older, says that there's a difficult realization that one must come to about Cary Grant: namely, that besides everything else, he was the finest and most important actor in the history of the cinema. Is that true? I like him in The Philadelphia Story, where he seems to me to have a sort of clown's or chorus's role. Alcoholism has something to do with it: Brick in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof has a similar detached quality, as I remember. Jeez, I hope he's actually called Brick. It's the drink, see. Decimates the memory. Clive Tyldesley doesn't drink. You can tell, cos of the way he talks about one memorable night 700 days ago so ceaselessly, after promising not to talk about it. Big Ron tonight: 'Giggs has got it out of his street and roared with it'. But did Ron really say that, or did we fabricate it from his half-heard mumblings? Maybe Ron is actually a sort of sonic canvas which enables his auditors to be more linguistically colourful than they'd otherwise be. E99 said that Cazza was beautiful. I don't know about that, but he did once buy me a cocktail, and I have never forgotten. It's the drink, see. Helps the memory. People talked about Iron Maiden. Nick Dastoor will be irritated to hear that I find Iron Maiden revolting and worthless. Lia and Lee, or rather one of them, said that London was really great, and that they wanted to hear more about it, etc. I say: just tell us more about Texas. I'm sure it's a darned sight more interesting. Thomson - I had forgotten - also tells me that Grace Kelly only made six pictures. Can that be right? And how many were great? No, it can't be right. Someone check. I expect Lloyd Cole knows, or failing him (but I never fail him), Joan Didion. An interview early in chickfactor#10 ended with the mysterious words 'the Hamptons'. I have never known what these meant, but have never got round to the simple expedient of asking. And now I don't need to. Channel 4 are showing a documentary called Manhattan On The Beach which is about - the Hamptons. The Hamptons are a bunch of beaches and houses, or something. Hang on, I've forgotten. I think I might need to watch that programme again. It featured a somewhat unsavoury entrepreneur from Weybridge, who still seemed to belong in Weybridge even when he was in the Hamptons. I mean no slur on Weybridge in saying that. Possibly great poets have come from Weybridge. I think it was Sam Walton - but if it was someone else, apologies - who used sinister to announce his romantic progress with the gal Agnes. I have decided to follow suit and use sinister to announce that I may have written my last song. That was two days before All Tomorrow's Parties, so it's not really news. It's the end of soda, though, if not the death of pop. Mooro - I almost forgot - is one of the few people who can quote the Foxgloves and still leave the Foxgloves wondering for a while what he's on about. But we get there in the end. As usual, Big M, you were right. He does look good, doesn't he? I mean, she. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Message-ID: Hello all, I'd just like to throw my two-penneth into the debate about the venue for the London picnic. As you may have read, I have one leg out of action (knee ligaments thing), and I live very near Primrose Hill (and subsequently a long way from Greenwich). As a result of these two facts, it would be grate (do people still say 'grate' on Sinister?) if we could have the picnic in Primrose Hill, since transport for me at the moment is a pain in the arse. Go on... indulge an invalid... I'll bring red wine and posh crisps... Also, as someone else mentioned. It's a lot easier to get from the major London train stations to Camden than it is to get to Greenwich. Right. I've said my piece. Now decide. love S.x P.S.

References: Message-ID: <006001c0c881$235540e0$6ab2893e@oemcomputer> Mike (MIWinship at aol.com) said he got followed by celebrities... this prompted me to remember a story from my past... Me and my friend were going to a GYBE! gig... I was only just getting into them at that point... the gig being the place I really found out how good they are. When we got to Manchester (where the gig was) we found out that my friend had lost his ticket and panicked, not knowing we could buy one at the door. We tried buying a copy of the NME and ringing the hotline number for the gig... but it didn't work. We walked around re-tracing our steps but couldn't find it. While we were re-tracing our steps we saw two guys walking around who seemed to be going everywhere we went. We joked that they were following us. A while later we decided the only thing to do was to hang around outside. After about half and hour three guys came out, tow of them the guys we'd seen before... stupidly we assumed they were something to do with the management, told them what had happened and asked if we could buy tickets. They said they'd put us on the guestlist. We stood around chatting for a little while, till my friend said, "Hang on... are you the band", at which point they said something like, "Smelly clothes, bottles of beer, Canadian accents... of course we're the band". At this point me and my friend just stood there, me saying the word 'wow!' in the most inane fashion possible, for about a minute before walking of, stunned. We left for a while, to do some shopping in Manchester and, about an hour later, as we were walking through the same section we'd seen the GYBE! members before, we saw them again, walking the exact same distance behind up, in the exact same place. Anyway we went to the gig and it was brilliant. That's it really. Silly story. Oh, and I'd like to announce a complete the sentence competition. The task it to complete the sentence: "........................ and only Kevin Costner can save the world". Entries can be sent to p.carter at bathspa.ac.uk or onlykevincostnercansavetheworld at akooka.demon.co.uk which is the address of the guy who thought up the idea... and, incidentally, the guy who introduced me to B&S. Admittedly the competition is not a blatant attempt to get free stuff... but you can't have everything can you?

But I'm fond of each of you ennyway. And: this post will be filled with trivia and contests (win prizes!) and links to time-wasting diversions. So read on!! With the coming of glorious springtime to Santa Barbara, I'm slinking back into my old horrible wonderful habits, and not feeling a bit of guilt for the lives it ruins. Guilt should be outlawed in this day & age. Glorious, this life, innit? My first months spent with "Fold Your Hands Child" (last spring) made me worry about our Struan and his gang. But now, isn't the popular wisdom that it's indispensable?? If you're still not among the converted, then listen to it again. And again. Until you (like me) can even listen to Beyond The Sunrise without hitting the ">>" button. You'll thank me. Really. There's no "Mayfly", but the charms & merits of "The Women's Realm" and "The Model" will wow you. Although if there's a meaning to The Model, with its cryptic inside-joke lyric, I haven't found it yet. Commercial break: I've completely re-done my homepage: www.brier.homestead.com And I'm re-reading The Great Gatsby, only because my best friend constantly refers to my new woman as "Jordan Baker", so I have to find out what the hell he means. I don't see any similarities so far; Jordan was cool and detatched, almost asleep; my betrothed has open eyes. But we've all been cheated. Vallejo starved to death, Van Gogh's ear was rejected by a prostitute, Rimbaud got an incurable case of syphilis, Beethoven went deaf, Chatterton took rat poison, Hemingway took a shotgun to his head over morning orange juice, Pascal cut his wrists in the bathtub, Burroughs shot his wife, Crane jumped into a boat propeller. What I'm trying to say, what I'M TRYING TO SAY, is that we need a postcard contest. So: the first person to identify the following lyric (title and artist, please) wins a special postcard from some far-away land (far away, that is, if you don't live anywhere near Santa Barbara). The lyric is this: "I am the ghost of this. We are the barely slighted." Please include name & mailing address. AND Brier-sized props this week to: ~ Sophie* for her excellent package of chocolate HobNobs and Jaffa Cakes and fuzzy kitty stickers ~ ListDom Lisa for teasing and tempting with steamy-windowed mini-van chronicles. Surely a Sillustration in the making... ~ Joan Of Dark (altho you NEVER post ennymore... foonky chick, the world needs you...) I went to the nude beach last weekend, for the first time this year. Now sitting down is difficult. The children called me red-butt. I've learned my lesson. Flopping around is fun, but SUNSCREEN, damnitt.... Going to Europe this summer.... Paris and Venice.... late July.... still hoping for a picnic..... anyone? Beuller? Beuller?? I still miss everything I've ever had........

References: <200104181433.PAA01079@missprint.org> Message-ID: <002f01c0c8ab$0bfd8220$776137d2@computer> TWO POSTS IN LESS THAN TWENTY FOUR HOURS! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT MIKKELSEN BOY ON? What indeed. I wonder why dear sweet Laura Llew still insists on referring to me as Lawrence "The Milkman" Mikkelsen. You've got to ask yourself. No further down the road re: "Jeremy In Chicago". Someone said something about The Ailser Set, but the song doesn't sound *anything* like them, plus it's a male vocalist etc. I am very confused ..... even if it isn't a B&S song, it's still fantastic. (and I appologise if the issue has been resolved ... I get the digest, and hence always read posts a day or so late) Other stuff .... PEACOCK JOHNSTON Great book .... halfway through ... it's really funny and a great story. Although I don't think it's as well written as "Nalda Said". "Nalda ...." is a work of genuis ... the actual prose is brilliant ... really simple yet evocative. I guess Peacock is good in that it is written in character really well, I just find the lack of any imagery and the bare bones descriptions a little sparse. But again, I say, great book. Hope it gets turned into a film. FOLD YOUR HANDS CHILD, YOU WALK LIKE A PEASANT It occurs to me that it's been out almost a year. (The Jeepster B&S site still talks about the "new" album - ha!) I was wondering what people think of it, now that it's had a year or so to be digest. personally, it is now my second favourite B&S album (after "Tigermilk" as BEST ALBUM EVER MADE), but also my most listened to B&S album. I listen to it at least a couple of times a week, and find it just gets better and better. It's really rich, and even though in my heart I would have liked an album full of Struan songs, I do love the "democratic" nature of the songwriting. It's one of those flawed but great masterpieces. well, thats it for now .... sleep well kids, Lawrence +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Including another very pretty song on their new Attraction Action Reaction 7", which he sang at the Monarch in London on Sunday. Bless 'im... Talking of London and Londoners, you lot don't half go on about your picnics don't you? It's slightly compulsive obsessive if you ask me, but maybe that's something to do with washing. Which I don't really know much about being a dirty old man. I recommend you all have little picnics in your little London back gardens, or your dog-shit laden local grassy knoll, until you learn how to get on and be nice to each other London people. My local grassy knoll happens to be Greenwich Hill. Anyone fancy joining me? What fun... I recommend you argue about it off list, or better still mud wrestle for it, before Linda shoots you with her ping pong ball gun. Whatever strapping lad said something about having it at noon though was surely having a laugh. Be serious. For those who are still awake, I think they'll be watching Ant n Dec on CD:UK. Archel also said something about DDR: DDR, or Dance Dance Revolution, is a global phenomoenon. And if the biggest thing since the invention of the self-opening jam jar. It's based on the ritual dancing of a tribe known as the Glamazons in the Brazilian jungle (the one's without the plate in their gobs). They stamp on the floor in routine patterns, as passed down from generation to generation, to prevent the rain when they need to sunbathe. Little do they know in their hedonistic little existences, that they live in a rain forest. There's not much they can do about the rain. Different families had different dances ranging from the Paranoia clan who have very quick feet, to the slightly more laid back Steps clan, to whom too much physical exercion is the last thing on their mind. Anyway in conclusion, it is basically a dancing arcade game where you jump up and down on pads while following arrows at screens to loud music. Doesn't that sound fun! I can't believe people have the audacity to do that in public. It really! is rather silly. Basically it is entertianment for the intellectually challenged. Unfortunately, I believe that there are photos in existence of me doing this so called "DDRing" which much like Geri Halliwell's ballet dancing in her new video involves the photography trickery of superimposing my head on an admittedly very talented droopy arsed dancer. Much like the Geri video, I recommend you avoid these photos. Anyway, too much relevance and not enough cabbage (hello cabbage!).

Message-ID: <3ADEF1E1.BF4A0CFB@camb.linst.ac.uk> ooh, ive got so much to say and in so little time. Im back in peckham. I found out that my local leicester band called AKA WEAVE are gonna be famous. They are recording an album with guigsy (ex-oasis), supporting Ocean Colour Scene and are playing Reading. I remember seeing them at our college band night. I wrote a little piece about stuff, it should be on the library site called "middle kid" IM GONNA SEE THE TINDERSTICKS ON 21ST, I am SSSOOOOOOo happy.. If anyone else is going id like to meet up with them. If you dont mind me giggling and crying all night.I bought a promo of theirs at rough trade and it is absolutely wonderful. Really summery and danceable. To chris,miller and tom: I am actually a graphics student at camberwell college. its a dead open course and i mainly do illustrations, i make t-shirts and do silk screenc etc. If anyone is in leicester, go to "wellgosh" opposite KFC. The illustrations in the shop are done by kid acne, hes a big influence on me. The place in brixton is called MASS, it looks like a big church. We should be doing some more soon, this record company really likes us and wants us to do more. I will let you know when and where, you can come and make your very own slide. When i went to see BROADCAST, i asked the guy if we could do visuals for him in london. hopefully he will ring me back? Who did "little arithmathics", they played it on Teachers, i need to know? Please everyone by that new SOUTH album, its amazing, a cross between stone roses and something else of some sort. yes hannah +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I hope to convince someone to take me there (the fact that a week later is my birthday should have an influence), but no one here knows them... hm... tonight I had my first sinister dream: I meet some lovely italian sinister people (to tell the truth I've never met anyone of sinister in my whole life...)-I think it was a picnic or something like that-. I don't remember nothing more about it, well another thing we started to talk about astronomy... don't ask me why ... at least my dreams don't involve a tender (in a yummy way) leopard eaten by an aggressive kitten as happened to my desk mate :) well I disappear once again bye Francesca +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: hipsters, so (starting a post w/ "so" should be a indirect call to your finger to hit the delete button as what will follow is possibly a long winded personal narrative invovling hearing b&s in a supermarket or studying for final exams.) i'm rather bored as of around 4am sitting in my isolation booth, and i'm attempting to catch up on some sinister mail. i enjoy much of it though i'm confused by a few things. firstly, why is everyone posting about this "pta" meeting they all went to. i mean, it sounds like you all had a good time, and i'm suprised they'd let bands play there, considering godspeedyoublackemperor et. all would probably drown out talks of the bakesale and christmas play, but i can't believe so many sinister kids went. i hadn't any idea you were all so interested in grade school. secondly, how do you all have picnics where you live? i haven't heard of any picnics around here, but then i live on the east coast of the us where people don't leave their houses. i'm just curious about your picnics because it seems like you all have a good time, but how does this happen in europe? are you not afraid of the witches and trolls that populate your island? and doesn't it rain all the time anyway? and didn't mel gibson kill most of your friends in one film or another? ah. but besides that i'm rather amused by your indie rock anthropotic rantings. especially listdomlisa who claims now to have a boyfriend. he must be one sexy american to be dating her, cause she is damn sexy herself. he probably just drives a really cool car though. that's usually how it works. my b&s moment for the week is the continual play of the legal man single, during which i sing the lyrics of legal man through the remaining songs. very loudly and not to the amusement of others. love, pete. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I escaped death a couple of days ago, cos the fan at the back of my computer had stopped turning to I wedged my guitar's whammy bar into it (as you do..) and it touched the main electrical supply bit and boy it whammied alright! Got a little shock but the electricity cut-off device thingie saved my life, which is nice. Chris Perriman talked about forming a B&S tribute band, which is funny cos I had a similar idea recently too, except I was actually thinking all ~1400 people altogether.. in a big orchestra/band thingie. Imagine what a few hundred pairs of guitar playing hands can do? Step over Jimi Hendrix! Same for other instruments.. those who don't play instruments can do hand clapping, and a big gospel harmony thing with hundreds of people.. Hmm it might work. Someone mentioned Tindersticks, they always remind me of a rather nice Kebab/Curry place in Nottingham which is also called Tindersticks. We should have the london picnic in the middle of Picadilly Circus, to show to the whole world (well all the tourists) our list's solidarity, and it's close to a DDR machine, pub and a bowling alley, sorted! We can also then throw sticks and maybe Tindersticks at those mime people who just stand still and not move, cos they're stealing businesses away from juggling people. Grr. ..Although a boat does sound tempting, is mr carsmile paying? Best go before you all throw sticks at me. Picnics and Red Bull Ken .. under the cows in concrete mk-town (if you don't like crap cities that deserve a mocking, don't come a-knocking) ======================================================================== Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before - Belle & Sebastian +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Although i have an excuse this time, for i have been on me hoildays, Yay! I went to Galsgow looking for members of Belle and Sebastian but all i found was a WWF shop and a cafe called the 13th note or blue note, but they served the nicest chips i have ever tasted, they were cooked in spicies so nice on the basis of that bowl of chips i am seriously considering moving to Galsgow. I also did some sinister spotting in Stirling and i sucseeded me thinks, a group of foppish types were sitting next to the lake or loch as the crazy Scots call them, at stirling uni. I nearly went over to say hello but they're were far too many rabbits and i had bongo drums to play in the garage, did anyone in stirling go and see lapdog? what did you think to the support band the Baker St happy gang? So that was cool. Nottingham, that's a strange place, the buses are mad instead of giving the driver some money and getting change you have to put the excat change in a machine which wieghs your money, i hate them, how do the folk of Nottingham manage? i never have the excat change Grrr.. although i did see Less than jake who were amazing they had fire breathing and everything although i failed to spot any sinister people, i didn't even see Ken the most famous man in Nottingham. i keep heraing roumours that Belle and Seb are to tour, but my brother saw them in Manchetser three years ago and they were shite live, i think if i saw them i would be so dissapointed as they have so much to live up too and i don't think they could ever live up to my expectations, unlike Napalm Death, who i had the pleasure/misfortune of seeing the other night, they were even funnier than Spinal Tap, i'm seem to be going on forever so i'll stop and if you got this far in reading my post ta muchly. ta ra love Nigel Love ------------------------------------------- Post Scriptum: Who's ya daddy ? http://www.lundwood.u-net.com/bettysclinic.htm www.wwf.com www.iowrestling.com daddy knows best http://www.sufc.co.uk/ http://www.htfc-world.com/ http://uk.geocities.com/djlittleboylost/home.html +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

They'll be fab! I saw them in Nottingham a few years back (can't believe it was that long ago - scary!). I went with my brother who was a massive sceptic. He thought they were throwaway easy listening...he compared them to Mike Flowers Pop (whatever happened to that guy?) the bastard! But even he was won over. It was shame the crowd weren't into it as much as they should've been but that was prolly because they played loads of songs that no-one knew off TBWTAS. They were quiet yeh, but really mesmerising. It was just so weird seeing my greatest idols a few metres from me and then at a disco afterwards. I must admit that I spent most of the night staring longingly into the eyes of Isobel that night...she was wearing a lovely dress and looked sublime:). But to cut a long story short; it was a heartwarming experience that made me feel even more a part of the B&S lovely world. It didn't matter about their tuning up or the quality of Steves choppy guitar, it was the sense of intamacy and love of music that made it special. Hope this makes sense and is at least a little bit relevent!

The next London picnic is going to be on Primrose Hill and I don't think we should talk about it anymore. If people can make it from Scotland and Greece I reckon us South East Londoners can probably manage the journey. I saw that Peacock Johnson fella last night, I haven't got much to say about that though. It was a bit silly, a bit messy but quite funny. He said lots of rude words and as many of you know (only too well) I am a big fan of using rude words.

I just realized this fact after 15 years and some months of living. Apples are the equivalent of Belle and Sebastian in the fruit catergory. Not a good analogy, I know, but I tried. Speaking of Belle and Sebastian, I just recently realized how good they actually are. I have been listening to Belle and Sebastian for quite a while now, but it never occured to me how brilliant their music really is. My roommate is getting slightly annoyed by the fact that Belle and Sebastian has been playing non-stop from my speakers for two weeks in a row. But I figure she'll eventually give in and admit to the fact that she actually likes them, too. I am in a happy mood today, due to the fact that I didn't have to go to lacrosse practice today. I went to the infirmary complaining of fatigue, came back to my dorm, and listened to Belle and Sebastian and ate an apple. Dramat Board applications are in, my interview is done, all that is left is... waiting. Incidentally, in my last post, I asked if anyone had seen the movie Willow (yes, the one with the sorcerers and all the magical stuff in it). I had heard horror stories about how all of the Dramat board (which currently consists of 13 members) sits around you in a semi-circle and asks you one question each. Apparently, there were always questions referring to the movie Willow for some reason, and that is why I was wondering if anyone had seen the movie. And yes, they are quite elitist, and yes, they are quite arrogant, but oh, they're a group of such amazing and fun people! (now I sound like a little girl who's never been around fun people before...) Of course, they are also the laziest and the most dysfuntional organization there is, so there is no hope of hearing of the results before the end of the school year... I found out that there is another person at my school who likes Belle and Sebastian. I am quite happy! Of course, I don't even know who this kid is, I just know that his name is Will Levin and that he's got a weird sense of humor. And of course, he must have great taste in music... I think I shall go to lunch now. Ta ta for now.

(BTW as content, re: many moons ago arg. of struan vs. taping of one-off gig at uni--he just wants to get it proper, sorted. can't argue with that logic. tho' "sympathy for the devil"?--i'd like to hear that even if it were dubbed onto a mono minicassette with a condenser mike) same way as rewriting: there's something there--buried in the mucking blurt--it just takes time to figure it out. and conversation doesn't like time. it likes stage time, as in: how long can you pause before somebody coughs, opens a candy wrapper, takes a cell phone call? when does it become drama and when does it become real-life confusion, ambivalence, true indecision? situational ethics disturbs me. but this disturbs me more: when is honesty the best policy, and when is it pure selfishness? when someone gets hurt, or perceives hurt? and how can anyone say: that's not what i meant, not what i meant at all? ask t.s. eliot... and the REM song: "you can't get there from here" but when you have arrived at someplace you never thought you were going, how do you get back without covering the same old tired, painful ground? and making it worse? i know. ambiguous beyond belief. and not much fun. well, as said above, rewriting is the key to making it right, not in the 15 minute rule. so enough of critical doubts. ---------------------------------------------------- long time since last post and, as of this particular point, i have been reading for three days solid and still have 268 to catch up on. the last two months are so packed with material it takes me hours just to get through a dozen. so don't expect more drivel from me for a while. and yes, ribena is a most refreshing beverage. but i get a very close kick from welch's grape juice as well. and it's nearly of the same color in tooth stain. ----------------------------------------------------- i have succeeded in interesting an old girlfriend in this cult of ours and promised her a 80-minute CD comp-burn. if honey, or any of you other sweet fiends, recalls post/s regarding this config of tunes and sequence, i'd appreciate the url-cum-link as i'm such a lazy sod/busy mo-fo i don't feel like doing the work/haven't got a second to do so m'self. be seeing you in my "in-box"... +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

The Hit Parade, the top five. He makes some degree of common cause with those who proclaim in public that we are living through - hold on to your trilbies - a Golden Age Of Pop. I'll let that last clause sink in a while. Anyway, I occasionally ask him about his love of contemporary pop, and sensibly he insists, - I don't like *all* of it. It's *some* of it that's good. Destiny's Child. The Sugababes. - Who? - The Sugababes. You'd like them. You've probably heard them. If you worked in a place where the radio played without ceasing, you'd hear them. You'll like them. It's just great pop music. Tonight I saw Top of the Pops. Really! A trio appeared, singing to a record I'd heard before on the radio. I figured that it might be Destiny's Child. At last, a glimpse of the vaunted Destiny's Child. My goodness, I've finally seen Destiny's Child. No. It was the Sugababes themselves. They were - I don't know, I don't know if I can find the choice word. Can you? We could spread many words, like muck, but they might not hit home, not convey what this trio really are, how their record really sounds. Still, I've heard and seen them now. Now we know what we're talking. There are no hiding places. Enough. Silence is silver. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Easter Sunday I went out with some sinister types, and got really far too drunk for a girl of my age. I don't actually remember anything that happened. I think I might have been sick, because I woke up with sick all over my jeans and my bag and everything, and I had a glorious hangover which lasted for about 2 days and involved lots of me being sick and moaning to my lovely patient boyfriend. So I'll just apologise for getting drunk in front of the cool set, and having to be picked up by my (not ecstatic) mother at 4 in the morning, which was not at all fun. I also met up for pizza with the world favourite peadophile-loving, drug addict necrophiliac, Igor. And I was blessed to be allowed to sit in on one of his prank phone call sessions, as he phoned Julian Danskins office and then Derrick Brown's house. I don't actually want to know how that boy gets the numbers of so many peadophiles. Probably because he's an inbred from East Fife who left school at fifteen and cant go out and drink because he has no job or money and he's not old enough to sign on so his only source of amusement is tracking down sex offenders on the internet and phoning them up to congratulate them. He sent me about 6Mb worth of Danskin erotic stories. They were funny, in a sick way. For someone who's supposed to be, according to him, 'an illiterate sheepshagger from Glenrothes', he writes in a really funny way. I should get a nicer circle of friends. I skipped about today singing modern rock song. It's not one my favourites, but it's pretty. The bit where Stevie (i think) sings is really nice. But i found a live thingy of it, and the harmonies are much prettier, like on 'rock and roll'. It's hard to describe, but it's grate. I went to the same place that brought us the rage against the machine tribute night. This time another bad covers band were playing. I got there and within two seconds of arriving nearly got beat up by a group of greenday grungers. Then this really mokeish girl in my chemistry class who laughed when I got knocked out said "oh my god, what the hell are you"?. I wasn't dressed too out of place in a goth/grunge youth club. It wasn't as though I had on pink and white and orange glittery tights, a lavender (that's a colour because I said so) skirt, bunches, and (shock horror) a COLOURFUL top. It was really funny, sticking out like a sore thumb, in the way that everyone dresses in black there. But the girl that i've never spoken to before started going mad at me, and she started looking quite silly, so I said "yer maw" and walked away. Goth are really funny to wind up, before they get violent. Later on she tried to yell at me at the bar which serves no drink and I just looked at her and said "yer maw". And then I skipped away singing 'yer maw' to the tune of the danskin song that igor sings all the time. AND brave me, I heckled the singer in the band because they were awful. They'd been playing for ages, and we all thought they'd finished so we started to relax. And someone that they really obviously planted in the crowd shouted for an encore. And everyone was shouting 'no no no no' including me. And then the whole room went really quiet for some reason just as I shouted "f*ck off" really loudly. I'm not a very sweary person, usually, but if you ever sat through and hour and a half of offspring and blink 182 covers, you'd swear too. So the singer looked over at me, because I was right at the front (no one was dancing, as they were too bad) and said "Haw, whit are ye all aboot ya wee tart", and I said "go away and hit puberty" and they said "haw, bawbag" and stuff and I said "come on, play some spice girls" and I got applauded. By goths. And grungers. I left early too, because my mum isn't letting me stay out late at all after sunday. I should go now, I'm boring. I leave with a quote: "And then the mafia came along and shot the absolute f*ck out of Danskin the Polish Dinosaur and he exploded into a million pieces on the pavements of Methilhill (quite a rough area)" Amazingly, this was not by Igor and pals. It was quite funny when I heard it. It probably isnt funny to any of you.

I was just let out of the nursury a week ago. Are there any sinisters in Mobile, Alabama? Or anywhere in the south? If so, shoot me an e-mail. We could have our own picnic, although something tells me it would be populated by mosquitos and ants, but sometimes mosquitos can be quite friendly. I only recently discovered a really cool city in the south. Me and my friends drove up to Athens, GA to see Weezer (rock!) play. Afterwards, me and my girlfriend went to downtown Athens and stumbled across the 40 Watt (where a guy I know saw Belle and Sebastian play once). It was all the Weezer nerds dancing like fools to awesome music. I heard New Order and rushed in. It was amazing. I never thought I would dance to Belle and Sebastian in a club in my life, but it happened when they played "Le Pastie de la Bourgeouise". It was an incredible night. Saw Arab Strap there a few weeks ago, and they were...drunk. Enjoyable though. Anyhow, Me and a friend are driving up to Atlanta tomorrow to see Grandaddy play at the Cotton Club. In the way way off-chance there is someone going to that, they should email me. Maybe we could meet there. I don't anything about Atlanta, and I should have some hours to burn. Anyway, I'm sure it'll be a rockasaurus rex show no matter who's there.

Trackstar sounds completely unlike Aislers Set -- much more in the vein of uh Unwound, maybe. but with a little more jangle and hook. they have been playing out lots lately and are working on another record. all of the other Aislers are/were-recently in other bands, too: Alicia (bass) is in the wonderful, kraftwerk-and-new-order pop-ish #Poundsign, Jen (keys) is part of the tweelovelyasallgetout band the Fairways, and Yoshi was of late in Scenic Vermont (late-90s album released on Seattle imprint Suicide Squeeze), and also played in emo-faves Fisticuffs Bluff way back when. And, as no one has mentioned this, Amy's previous band was the marychain-meets-something-far-louder Henry's Dress, whose two genius records will rattle your bits and pieces with feedback until you're feeling warm and fuzzy, and are maybe still available on Slumberland. some urls, in case you're inclined: (fairways) http://www.epitonic.com/artists/thefairways.html (slumberland) http://www.dropbeat.com/slrland/index.html (#poundsign) http://www.poundsign.net or www.fantasticpop.com (trackstar) http://www.spineless.com/trackstar.html hope that helps, if you've had any lingering questions. now, back to lurking on all the smut and debauchery. ian c +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I once knew a boy who would say that if music makes you happy, it's doing something wrong. Music must be sad! When one hears music, one must be prepared to brood, to ponder one's life and love! Top 40 pop music under this definition is UNACCEPTABLE. If a song makes you smile, if a song makes you wanna shake your booty and throw your hands up at me, well, it can't be good! When Britters sings "DON'T! Don't let me be the last to know!" God, a tear just springs to my eye. PF said! > - The Sugababes. You'd like them. You've probably > heard them. If you worked in a place where the radio > played without ceasing, you'd hear them. You'll like > them. It's just great pop music. I agree with PF's boss, the Sugababes are great! Not so great dancers though, I saw them on Swedish tv once and they sat on stools most of the time then stood up and wiggled during the instrumental part of Overload. Their album is probably one of the most even I've heard from a top 40 band in a long time. I mean really, was anyone really thrilled by N Sync's cover of More Than A Feeling? Also the Sugababes are scooching a little into the realm of r&b. Then he said! > Tonight I saw Top of the Pops. Really! A trio > appeared, singing to a record I'd heard before on the > radio. I figured that it might be Destiny's Child. At > last, a glimpse of the vaunted Destiny's Child. My > goodness, I've finally seen Destiny's Child. > > No. It was the Sugababes themselves. I'm not sure what's going on in these paragraphs. Is PF asserting that his cave is the proper place to be? Does he ever wander past a WH Smith on the way to work and glimpse a magazine cover, flip past MTV by accident? In this day and age, there is no excuse for absence of pop culture knowledge. It surrounds us, the only way to escape is to embrace, to filter. There is a girl in one of my classes who, when the professor and I would discuss Buffy, would loudly assert that she had no television. She reminded me a little of Stephen Dedalus, in the least ironic way possible. Where would Salman Rushdie be today without Bono??? Salman Rushdie loves pop culture. Thanks to Bono, he's not dead, he's dating a hot model chick, and he wrote a book about rock n roll! And everyone still thinks he's a great guy. Er, cept the Iranians. PF, pick up a copy of Smash Hits! Even our favorite band Belle & Sebastian gets a mention sometimes! > Enough. Silence is silver. But knowledge is GOLD!! (Destiny's Child's outfits on the Brits were also gold...and green) xoxo Julie +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Peacock, Evil Bob & Bev rolled up at 6 pm in costume, looked a bit freaky walking in off the street. Peacock looking painfully thin, slicked back grey hair, long droopy moustache & yellow check trousers. Bev a symphony in pink from her heels to her wig, sporting a vertiginous cleavage. Evil Bob a bit nondescript (apart from the hairnet, I guess). The programme was pretty much as Mr Hewitt described, Stuart David couldn't show up as he's hiding out somewhere tropical from Peacock because Peacock wants to do him for nicking his ideas & putting them in a book & not giving him any credit (this message communicated by video) then the 3 appear to put their side of the story. Evil Bob was sniffing glue (well, a Pritt Stick actually), they played Peacock's version of Rhinestone Cowboy (not a patch on Splat!'s Wichita Lineman), Bob's of Miss You & Bev sang Sugar Town. I thought Bev was the star of the show, with much better comic timing than the guys. A laugh. Like the book really, quite amusing and over in an hour. I can't remember all the questions: maybe the funniest was someone asking Evil Bob if he had heard of Ena Sharples. They signed copies of the book and I asked Peacock to forge the tit-lickers in mine too, which he did very accurately. TWINS, NO WIGS Then off to the Shepherds Bush Empire (God, I've attended some shitty gigs there!) to see the Scottish Guitar Army. Arrived in time to see MUM. Never heard them before but got quite into it by the last number. Twins pretty and not so scary as on the FISHYCLAP cover. smell THE glove (SHAVED HEADS) Next up Mogwai. Lots of soft/LOUD, the loud very. A cello player with a very distinctive tone. I think they're taking this Spinal Tap thing a bit far, because they must have amps that go up to 15. My ears haven't recovered yet. Not the most moving Mogwai gig I've been to, some of the new material doesn't stand up to being performed at such length. NO WIG/ONE TWIN Anyay, a brass section came on stage for Secret Pint. Talking of wearing wigs on album covers, I didn't have a very good view, but Mick, was that you up there, playing trumpet with the bloke from V-Twin whose name I don't know? EC WAS HERE Don Pedro mentioned Dave Edmunds version of Girl's Talk recently (BTW, I have the album, would you like a copy? :) ) Does anyone have a tape of the 1978 (?) Rockpile BBC session when they played that, I Knew The Bride & Heart Of The City? I'd love to hear that again. Joe, I *really* hope you didn't mean what you said about having written your last song.

I must say that I am greatly in favor of video/dvd/laserdisc etc. because my chosen field is film studies, and without those lovely mediums where we can watch movies over and over and analyze them to death like the cool literature kids have gotten to do for a long time with their "books", film studies wouldn't exist. well, it might, but it'd be hard to do. I'm sure no one cares. I'll shut up now. -eric p.s. you should all go to dublin. it's a keen place with more vintage clothing stores per square mile than any other city I've ever been to. plus, it's got the dublin viking adventure, and really, how can you go wrong? ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Julie, I'll bet you're a lovely gal and all, but you're talking a load of piffle. Mooro said he hoped that the songs weren't really finished; and he touched head and heart, if not hips. Someone mentioned the Fairways - and you know, it's true, they made a good record once. I just can't deny it. Noel Gallagher said: 'I haven't got time to think about how my records are going to sound'. I don't know how laughable this is. The NME talked about New York, 'excitingly', and thus dully. It didn't talk to Dudley Klute, you see. For those of you who don't remember Dudley, he starred in the classic film Klute. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I just picked up a copy of the Village Voice while purchasing some Godiva White Chocolate Raspberry ice cream and Pommes Frites with mango chutney mayo (Will Porter approved - "They're really fuckin' good!"â„¢). I flipped to a random page and found a review of the new movie that Cute Stuart From QAF is in. The review was titled "The Boy Done Wrong Again...The State That I Am In". The Voice gives all their reviews two line titles like that, for instance "Blew in the Face...Natural Porn Killers". Which I think also has something to do with Belle & Sebastian. Speaking of Stuart From QAF, QAF (the actual British series) came out (ha ha) on video and dvd this week! However, it is really fucking expensive. I'm not sure where they get off (ha ha) charging $60 for series 1 and $30 for series 2, but it's definitely worth a rental. xoxo Julie Note to PF: The subject line is the name of the Sugababes new single, only £2.99 (£1.49 tape) at Woolworth's! Destiny's Child's latest single is called Survivor.

I thought about making that a Freaky Trigger thread but it would have been a bit too specialized and would not have aided thread congestion. And for that matter why is 'Age of Consent' so called? And what *is* the type that you need to be told to tell you about the birds and the bees? And stuff. I have only just discovered that the Velvets' 'Who Loves The Sun' (shouldn't it have a question mark? If so, it can have the one from my henceforth redundant question) sounds, lyrically, like some kind of model for 'I Don't Believe In The Sun'. This raises the meta-question of Merritt's relation to the Velvets. My feeling is that he shouldn't like them too much, thanks to their amateurish formlessness. I hope someone writes in and says, - !hey, dirtsucker! the velvets wernt formle.s. or amaturish. I don't always agree with my editor, but watching Bacharach last night made me think that his ** very long-standing** argument that songwriters shouldn't sing their own material was, if not 'correct', then at least wise. In a sense I've thought this for a while - have I ever told him? - and this was just further confirmation. All of that is NOT a way of saying that Burt Bacharach is a bad singer who shouldn't be allowed to sing. He's a lot better than lots of other singers. I would LIKE to have 'Burt Bacharach Sings Burt Bacharach'. (In a sense perhaps it would sound like a covers LP.) No, it's just the creativity of distance - the extra level of complexity and play that you introduce by getting somebody else to sing your song - that I think is valuable here. I should have been able to assent to this long ago. I think it was my editor's declaration that 'The Beatles ruined everything' that spoiled it for me. Despite her sometimes dodgy views, I think the gal 'Julie' gives good mail. At least she responded in detail to 'Sugar World', citing paragraphs and stuff. Plus, she's feisty and fights her coin, I mean, her corner. But 1. What did she mean about 'embrace and filter'? These are very different things: virtually antithetical, one might say, in some contexts. 2. Looking at the cover of a magazine doesn't tell you what a band sounds like. (Unless the cover is written by Simon Reynolds.) I don't know what Destiny's Child look or sound like. I don't think they have much of a reputation or profile in my country. We have this silly band 'Sugababes' instead, see. 3. We don't have MTV where I come from. 4. To talk about Salman Rushdie was a nice touch - but have SR's pop-cultural admissions done him much good? I think my editor would disagree. He never liked SR that much in the first place, but what respect he had paled and palled once SR started expounding about very well-known Van Morrison records and the like. 5. Still, I like the near-synasthesia of 'knowledge is golden', green, etc. Julie is the Milly Bloom of ice cream studies. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Message-ID: <000d01c0cb46$4db30120$e6d66481@alh.reznet.uwo.ca> Hi kidlets, Should any of you be wondering, wearing green suede shoes and beige corduroys during a MONSOON surely spells disaster. Yes, I now have green trimmed pants that are 4 times as long as they used to be. Who knew they held so much water? I don't really mind as I do happen to like rain (yes, I'm not normal) but as I was patiently waiting at the bus stop, some little punky kid comes up and says: "Hey Bitch! Don't you know your pants are turning green?" I felt like responding: "Hey bastard, don't you know you're singlehandedly destroying the English language?" But I didn't. Because I'm a nice person. And generally aloof. And I like to start sentences with conjunctions. Just call me little Miss Atwood. Speaking of punky kids though, is it just me or are people getting shorter? I swear to God there are so many tiny people yet they all seem to be the mean, mal-adjusted kids. Maybe they just stand out more because they're so BASTARDY, or maybe there are just more bastards out there. Please don't think that I attribute small stature to mean people, or vice versa, as I know there are many short and nice people, and tall and mean ones. One really cannot deny the fact, though, that no one is as tall as they used to be (except my corduroys, of course - they've far exceeded any height restrictions). I just had to get that innane little anecdote out of the way. I was really writing to explain a problem I have. Am I the only one in the world who finds the Smiths' "Some Girls Are Bigger THan Others" to be sheer hilarity? I laugh out loud everytime I hear this song. The part where Antony says to Cleopatra: "Ooh, I say...." simply KILLS ME! I thought everyone would feel this way, but I played it to a friend (who is usually quite open to said band) and she just looked at me funny. "I don't get it," she said. Here's the crux of the issue: I don't get it either. I cannot for the life of me explain why this is so funny. Why I am catapulted into the throes of such passion upon hearing those words is beyond me. I haven't felt this confused since they tried to teach me fractions. Do any of you understand? My only explanation is that I'm a frighteningly boring person. I mean, really boring. I actually listen to the CBC - voluntarily. In fact, none of you are reading this right now because you've all fallen into a deep pit of sleep. Speaking of understanding, can any of the Quebec sinisterians (I know you're out there) please explain to me that show 'La Fureur'? I don't get it. Actually, I get enough of it to care about what I don't understand. For instance, why is everyone on the show so goooooood looooookin'? Do they not let ugly, unfashionable people on, or is Quebec simply a hotbed for the pretty and fashionable? (My money's riding on the former.........). Lastly, what's with that part where they all start singing together and the music cuts out and one person is left to sing? They always have such pained looks on their faces, then everyone cheers when they're done as if they've cured cancer. It's not that hard to read lyrics off a screen, is it? Finally, are there any Max Jacob scholars out there? If so, please let me know. I have some questions for you. (hmmmm....ominous!) yours, drowsily, Marybethhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh P.S. Sorry for my incorrect and grammatically culpable use of they, etc. when I should use he/she, etc. I'm just too lazy to fix it.

So, while I'm waiting for him to leave, I can filibuster some more. Also, I thought it would be bad form to not respond after my piffle was expanded upon. > 1. What did she mean about 'embrace and filter'? These > are very different things: virtually antithetical, one > might say, in some contexts. I thought this was pretty obvious. There's going to come a time where we realize that, futuristic-movie-style, pop culture has crept into all corners of our lives and we can't really escape it without becoming total loser recluses. If you admit this, if you embrace it, then you can decide what's worth keeping and what's gotta be tossed. Remember when I said that chick in my class was not ironic? Irony is the key. There is no reason to not like top 40 pop music that is GOOD and AMUSING (ie Sugababes, Destiny's Child, and I have a personal penchant for A1 although the Norwegian one scares me) as well as the sad, sad indie music that makes your heart flutter and the corners of your mouth turn down. It's like the DDR/PUMP debate. I used to be a big fan of PF's beloved Magnetic Fields, I thought Stephin was super rad. I think Distant Plastic Trees is one of the saddest most beautiful albums I own. I think what turned me off of MF is 1) the fact that they've done the same show the last 5 or 6 times I've seen them and it's boring as FUCK and 2) the fact that they are really pretentious. And as you might have noticed, pretense leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The Three Terrors should be slapped about, going to see them last year was (as I've described it before) just watching three old pretentious men sing old pretentious songs and expect us to lick it all up. The only good thing was that Daniel Handler read from the Basic 8 and what a grate book that is! > 2. Looking at the cover of a magazine doesn't tell you > what a band sounds like. (Unless the cover is written > by Simon Reynolds.) I don't know what Destiny's Child > look or sound like. I don't think they have much of a > reputation or profile in my country. We have this > silly band 'Sugababes' instead, see. No, it won't tell you what they sound like, but you didn't know one from the other, and this could help with embarrassing mishaps like that. Last fortnight's Smash Hits had Destiny's Child on the cover, nicely captioned "INSIDE THE SECRET WORLD OF DESTINY'S CHILD!" Sugababes have never appeared on the cover of Smash Hits. Also, you are absolutely wrong about Beyonce, Michelle, and Kelly not having a reputation in the UK, they are a GLOBAL PHENOMENON. > 3. We don't have MTV where I come from. You don't have cable? Oh I forgot, you can watch porn on Channel 4 there, who needs Showtime or even USA. You lucky bastards in the UK get the Box too, Smash Hits You Control! I only suggest watching it once every month or so, though, because it's the same videos all day long. But good videos, like the one where Westlife shake their tiny fists at the unfairness that is the heterosexual relationship while perched atop a scenic cliff (I know I've used that description before but it's SO ACCURATE!)! > 4.

He never liked SR > that much in the first place, but what respect he had > paled and palled once SR started expounding about very > well-known Van Morrison records and the like. That's true, I've heard that The Ground Beneath Her Feet is sort of mediocre compared to Salman's earlier "masterpieces". But like I said, he's alive. And dating a hot chick. > 5. Still, I like the near-synasthesia of 'knowledge is > golden', green, etc. In girl scouts we used to sing this song: "Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other's gold!" This has nothing to do with what I was previously talking about, but is still a valid bit of wisdom. Thanks Gordon for the ice cream description compliment, I will never again question my abilities in this department. Everyone should join popbitch, www.popbitch.com, I think. Especially you PF, since you don't like pop you may as well get a newsletter that makes fun of it. Anyway, this is a conflict that may never be resolved, as those who are anti-pop music aren't easily swayed. And PF and I are from different generations and upbringings. At this point, I'd like to thank my mom and dad for buying me Rick Astley and Bangles tapes when I was in second grade. xoxo Julie +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

There's going to come a time where we > realize that, futuristic-movie-style, pop culture has crept into > all corners > of our lives and we can't really escape it without becoming total loser > recluses. I don't think so. Just randomly take one example among millions: me. I do have a television, but it's only capable of showing one single program, and it's not MTV. I also own a radio, but i never use it because all it does is getting on my nerves big time. The result of this reclusion is that i am unaware of a lot of things that most other people in my country know about, like who is most likely to win the next football championship, which local actor has married/divorced/whatever which other one, etc. (We have the Big Brother show here in Germany, too, and i've never seen that one either, which i think is only a very tiny little bit of a shame). Also I often don't know who is at the top of the charts here; sometimes i cause wonder and amazement when i hear a song played somewhere and say "wow, that's really catchy - I'm sure it's going to be a big success", when in fact it already is... I'm not a recluse, though. I'm reading daily and weekly newspapers, I'm using the internet a lot to keep myself informed about the things i care about, especially literature and music; I get my recommendations for new & interesting stuff from all sorts of mailing lists and message boards. Embrace and filter? I'd say, the big advantage of the internet is that you don't have to embrace; you can start filtering right away. But, I hear you say, are you not missing out on a lot of things? Well yes, I guess so - for some time i vaguely thought that Destiny's Child was a metal band because the name sounds a bit medievally-pretentious like Paradise Lost or Blind Guardian...... but then I listened to them, and I was utterly unimpressed. And while there *is* some good mainstream pop music (Briskeby! they're fab. From Norway), it's just not worthwhile IMO to wade through all this crap just to find something that *might* be a bit good. (I do miss MTV sometimes, though. Some of those videos are really good. Especially those with half-naked dancers). The thing about ignoring mass-media-pop-culture is that it makes life better; at least for me. I didn't consciously choose to step out of it, it just happened, and it was good. It's strange how people have this idea that pop culture is something unescapable that's got some *meaning* unto its own. In fact, you just have to do a tiny little step to the side, and it all vanishes, you can let this this multi-billion-$$-life-invading industry rush you by like a high-speed train: *whoooosh*. Ok, it's very easy to appear arrogant when you have a different taste. But I don't think i'm *better* just because i don't do or like what most people do. I don't *hate* bad music, i just don't listen to it. Julie, you seem to think that people who are "against" pop music do so because they want to feel superior or something, when secretly they envy those who are out and have space-age fun. I don't think that's the case. It's just that some people don't find it worthwile to spend time with that sort of music, that's all. There is no earthly reason why you *have* to know a certain band, there is no such thing as a GLOBAL PHENOMENON. For me, caring about DC would be a waste of time. That's not arrogant, it's simply economic. It gives me time to enjoy the things i love. And if you happen to enjoy DC, there's nothing wrong with that either, of course. But: people who don't want to take part in global pop culture, not even ironically, are not sad loser recluses. At least not always*. bonus comment: I had heard the expression "spirit ditch" in a sparklehorse song and thought it was one of their genius lyrical inventions (in fact, they are using it twice on their last record), until Jules enlightened me about the fact that it's a normal english expression. Wow, what a language! I think I'm in love. I should learn it sometime.... back to lurking for the next 6 months goes Jan *: I'm with a hot chick. In fact, I'm going to cuddle next to her after i've sent this out and maybe fumble her tits for a bit. -- Tindersticks page: http://www.tinder.org "Lifestyle music for people maybe lacking in life, but never, ever in style" -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I mean this as the highest compliment. I am ever the victim of hate: I was at a tag sale today, trying to buy some old tins. I tried to haggle a bit and the surly old man running said tag sale growled something about "Jewing down the prices" and stalked off. Great. In SanFrancisco last year a surly old man crashed into me while I was standing outside my hotel and screamed "Jew Girl Inn!" then proceeded to glare at me from five feet away. Charming. Here's the best part: I am not Jewish. I wonder if I'll have to put up with this nonsense all my life. Morrissey: Samantha mentioned the scary-old-baby-eating-manness of morrissey. Still, a friend of mine decided that he is the ultimate sexual catch, based on the whole celibacy thing. Harder to get than a priest, though why anyone would want to do that is beyond me. Just picture someone saying to you "Yeah, I got Morrissey, how bout you?" Can't beat that can you? Feeling Older Already: Try saying to yourself "It's not the nineties anymore." Depresses the hell out of you doesn't it? Salako: I like them. I bought Musicality for $5 at a used cd store with very steep stone steps which I always fall down, causing me to fall into the store every time. Anyhue, it was January when I bought it and I hadn't really given it a fair chance up until now, and now I really love it. Why do I always neglect my cd's? Be excellent to eachother. Party on dudes.

I don't think it's like that, really. Just as there aren't simple GLOBAL PHENOMENA, there isn't a single monolithic "mass-media-pop-culture" that one step will allow you to avoid. Its presence is no more or less meaningful in itself than that of any other cultural product, and they're frequently implicated in each other. It wouldn't take a great deal of analysis to uncover the links between the massmediamachine and whatever culture it is that you like, be it newspapers, literature, "other" music, etc: you follow the $$, the producers, the consumers, the influences and so on. I suspect that in fact you do "embrace and filter", you just filter differently to, say, Julie - but so does everybody else. Even the prepubescent girls who are continually being blamed, bizarrely, for "bad" music (etc) tend to have quite strong opinions about what they filter out. Conversely, of course, the great thing about comparing Destiny's Child, Sugababes, New Order and Ms du Pre is that you don't actually have to choose. > Ok, it's very easy to appear arrogant when you have a different taste. But > I don't think i'm *better* just because i don't do or like what most people > do. I don't *hate* bad music, i just don't listen to it. Well, you see, that's just it - if you snuck a closer look at the masses out there you'd probably find that everyone's complex set of tastes is different. You might not believe the people I spotted on Oxford St the other day queuing up to have their Donny Osmond cds signed. I do hate bad music, I'm just not sure I can always identify it. That's one of the other great things about pop: you don't have to care about it to appreciate it. Sometimes it just works anyway. I'm too drunk to think about whether this applies to other cultural products. Anyway, this should be an embarrassing story, but I spent weeks vaguely ignoring that boring Samantha Mumba tune that was in the charts recently. Then yesterday I was in the pub, a tune came on, I liked it - it made me feel happy, I smiled and thought that everything was good, just for a moment. Then I wondered what the music was that was playing, and seconds later I recognised it as, of course, that "boring" S Mumba tune. I felt silly but I still enjoyed it. I'm not going to buy the record because I'll probably hate it again if I play it at home, but that doesn't mean it can't have been good at that moment I heard it. I suppose this is why I don't *entirely* buy the argument about economics of enjoyment. While I wouldn't suggest watching daytime TV every day instead of, say, reading poetry, sometimes spontaneity is fun. PF, your editor sounds like one of those mysterious "companion"s with garrulous opinions that restaurant reviewers seem to have. I suspect that Rushdie's dallying with U2 resulted in more sales gained to their fans than lost to dismayed admirers, which was probably (along with the midlifecrisis of Never Having Been In A Rock Band) the point of the excercise. PF: > Julie is the Milly Bloom of ice cream studies. So who is the Molly Bloom of ice cream studies, or am I being thick? Forgive me for I know not what I witter on about. Maybe I should do an introduction: I used to be on Sinister years ago, back in the dark ages before the terrible arguments, and didn't write very much. It's embarrassing to look back at my old little replies & daft poem in the archive, which of course I did when I rediscovered Sinister. I possibly wrote in once some time in 1999 as well. So I resubscribed a while ago and read intermittently. Anyway, recently I seem to be reading all your messages so I thought I should break my silence, and like I said I've been drinking, which helps the nerves. cheers D +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

The singles club in question is the utterly fab Cardiff-based Boobytrap club. Go to www.boobynet.co.uk for more details.

Message-ID: <20010423140138.18348.qmail@web616.mail.yahoo.com> hey hey, sinister type people! It has been a while, I think, since my last post. Since then, what has happened? I've been making lots of growly noises, about the world, and gernerally sounding like an old man. Possibly like Father Jack. No offence to any American Sinisterians, but you have picked the crappiest most moronic president ever. And I disagree with 99% of everything he says. Particularly on environmental issues, abortion, and his ideas about his countries economy, and defence. So heres my plan of action. A) We boycott the USA. Any sinisterians who live out there and don't like him and want to be on this side, feel free. We build a great big fence around America, and refuse to let them export their Nikes, Big Macs and Pepsis. It won't be a bad thing, really, we'll all just see an international improvement on health, and heart disease will fall. Thats what they do with anyone they don't like. Well I don't like George W(anks in a) Bush. Until he agrees with everything I say and does whatever I tell him to. Trust me, my plans are good, clean, environmentally healthy and fun. The first thing I would ask him to do is resign. A resignation speech from GWB might be the most sensible words to ever come out in a coherent sentence from him. B) I haven't got a plan B yet, but that's okay, cos I think plan A will work. Other things vexing my vex at the moment..... 1. temporary work Recruitment agency. In particular, mine, who have been messing around NOT PAYING ME. this is not good. They spent easter messing me about, therefore not getting me work, which is definately not good. Cos I had plans for the money, and now its just going to be tighter to acomplish my plans. Maybe its gods way of saying "No, Idles, you can't take over the world just yet." My plans, by the way, don't actually involve taking over the world as a whole, but over a club in Norwich for an evening. I am not going to tell you yet how or what, cos sodes law dictates that if I do, it will all go belly floppingly bad and I might as well start auditions for the next "Popstars". 2. The lack of decent music everywhere. With obvious exceptions, of course ;) . Why has the majority of majorities gone all MOR on us? Why don't they just all go home and listen to Phil Collins instead of forming bands and call themselves Toploader? Why are they crap? why don't they attempt to break barriers and do something original, instead of sufficing with the barmy nothingness that they insist on pouring into the brains of poor and deluded youngesters, who at this impressionable time in life, don't know any better about decent music? Do they really want to scar these little people and leave us in the wilderness, three years down the line with shell suits becoming retro classic? Do you remember that Sleeper song "Inbetweener" (of course you do, you were all shamelessly bopping away to it five years ago down the local indie club, despite the fact that you are now too cool to confess such crimes of indecent music taste.) Well, all the toploader kids, are all going to become the characters out of that song. They are! give them five to ten years. Thats whats going to happen. And what will happen when that happens? you're going to get Sleeper tribute bands singing about ageing Toploader fans. Mark my words. Its your toaster. And the Beatles were rubbish, otherwise if they were any good, how come its been so easy for people to rip off their songs with such ease? 3. The train I was on yesterday, it was too full, and a German man kept touching my leg, and then smiling appologetically. It might have been funnier I guess if it wasn't my leg he kept gropping. There wasn't any harm meant, really, he was just grasping around for his bag, which was next to my legs, and accidentally ended up touching my leg. He looked like your dad by the way. And he listened to Oympic Anthems, obviously covered by awful 80's big stadium rock bands. More amusement has come by way of three of my pals. For reasons I won't go into, lets call them Miss S, Mr BD and Mr J. Miss S and I were sitting in the 13th Note, on Saturday, Miss S complaining that she felt she didn't look freaky enough to fit in. I said that alone made her a freak, the fact that she wasn't a freak, therefore she fitted in. Miss S and I sat talking about everything. Then she brought up Mr BD. I told her about Mr BD at Christmas, cos he's single, so is she, and in many ways, they have something in each other that the other looks for. ;) Miss S gave me a look, that said "no blind dates" so I shut up. But last Saturday, Miss S asked how my pal was, meaning Mr BD. I told her what he was up to in his life. Miss S smiled, and asked for his mobile number, and was it okay to text him? Yes, said I. So they started texting each other. Cheesy flirty text messages were flying, and I sat reading, giggling, blushing, buying more drinks, and texted another pal while Miss S and Mr BD were being anti social. Miss S sat giggling. It was quite enjoyable to watch. Mr BD stopped texting, so I asked him why, cos he was letting the side down. And whatever else Miss S told me to say. So Miss S asked if I had anymore "fun friends". She read a few texts exchanged between Mr J and I about double standards. And she asked for his number. She started texting him. Sunday. I got text messages from Mr BD, and Mr J, about Miss S being lovely, and how shes been texting them, and asking Mr J to leave a message on her answerphone to hear what he sounds like. Miss S called me, despite her raging hangover, in a giggly mood. Mr BD asked me what Miss S is like. Mr J didn't ask a lot, but tells me what's been going on between the text messages he's exchanged with Miss S. Miss S texted me frantically, asking whether Mr J or Mr BD is fit, and yeah, I better be saying shes foxy, cos she is, apparently, (her words) and yes, she will kill me if I say otherwise. I wasn't going to do that, now was I? Miss S and Mr J texted each other all day. Miss S and Mr BD texted each other all day. Last night I spoke to Mr J and Mr BD. Mr BD spent two hours on the phone to Miss S last night. And I won't tell you what Mr J said to me, cos its far too telling and revealing, and knocked me sideways for six. Mr BD and Mr J keep asking what Miss S looks like. I reply: Tall, leggy blonde, blue eyed, and curvy in all the right places. Good legs. Mr J replied: "Hubba Hubba!" (followed by giggles.) Mr BD replied something along the lines of "Sultry Glasgow Vixen!" followed by giggles. I told them to keep me up to date on whatever happens, but to leave out the gory details. Not to blame me if it goes wrong, and I want no bitchy text messages from anyone about my pals. But I want credit if it goes right. BTW: Mr J knows Miss S is also texting Mr BD. Don't think Mr BD knows about Miss S texting Mr J. I'm keeping well out. Anyway, theres my nuggets for the day. Play nice with them, and don't squeeze. ;) love, Idles ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke we're all smoking our corduroys in our secret little b+s club- what are you doing?? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Jer from New York mentioned that -:lazyline painter jane is one of the funestest b and s songs to play on bass :- Bass playing is grate,,, I'm just starting. I'm on the look out for Belle and Sebastian bass tabs if anyone can help. I mailed the tabs service on the website a while back, but to no avail. Hurrah for Bass players... as well as Didgereedoo or Calimbas players, and players of any other instrument... Hurrah for everyone! Siniter Spotting: Right then... I've been wanderering around the country for the past week, on my travels I materialised at Afflek's (spelling???) Palace in Manchester... I decided that it was a lovely place full of shiny things, and I could easily have spent a lot of time getting lost in there, if only I hadn't arrived there with only an hour until it closed. I'm very glad that my Manchster friends took me there. I saw a girl standing at the top of the stairs who looked like she might be a Sinisterian... whe wore grate clothes, including a tiara... I think I like tiaras. She noticed me noticing her... she was very pretty though. I've decided that I don't look anything that would stand out as a Sinisterian, does anyone have any tips? maybe I should buy some cords... perhaps we should have a badge that we wore to distinguish us. I may look for something belle and sebastianish to stick on my coat. I also went to Alton Towers- which was fun, mainly because of the people I went with I think. It was in celebration of a 21st, and we all weent in a big group. I probably woould have enjoyed wherever we'd gone with those particular people. Has anyone else been there? While I was there I saw some obviously fake trees holding up a little railway thing. These trees were complete with big smiley faces, I thought it might be fun to chain myself to them and demand that the railway be removed. The management could try to persuade me that they weren't real... look at the smiley faces... and I could refuse to believe. Then I saw their Cadbury's Cream egg machines that made chicken noises... These also have potential "free the chickens, it is not fair to coop them up like this"... I might write them a letter. I don't think I saw any sinisters there. I don't think I saw any in Southport at 'Chocolat' either as my grandparents and I were pratcially the only people there, and they only listen to classical music. Now that's quite enoughof that from me... I'm in danger of sounding all diaryesque. Cheers and Love.

My sister has a book about Australia that has in it a dictionary of Aussie slang. It's funny, because it's written for Americans so apart from all of the usual things you'd expect like dingo, ute, panel van and "you great gallaar" it has lots of English words in it too, like pub, abseiling and "tip top" and nappys, and explanations of what they all mean. You crazy yanks! 3.

I mean, somewhere you might have a stake and some KNOWLEDGE besides second hand info you gleaned from watching space signaled culture brought you by Disney, NIKE, and whothefuck? It's just plain insulting(sad) and misled (sadder still) to think that America is anything like you think. YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG. YOU HAVE BEEN FOOLED. (Me? I still picture London like the chimney-sweep scene from Mary Poppins...but I don't draw any political wherewithal from it.....cept maybe some socialist tendencies :) Humbly your faithful colonist, The Exiled Prince of Pickles P.S.

It feels like I'm outdoors, and whenever I eat it tastes like I'm eating outdoors. You know that subtle difference in the way food tastes when you eat it on a patio or a picnic? Onto answers: The Pinefox queried: > And for that matter why is 'Age of Consent' so called? That's an easy one, just listen to the lyrics. In addition to missing on the Go Sailor background of Amy Linton as someone else mentioned, Ian Connelly also failed to mention drummer Yoshi's connection to Poastal, who I always thought were very good, and released a split single with #Poundsign# I always liked #Poundsign# but they appear to have become fairly inactive. Someone told me Stephen from #Poundsign# moved close to my neighborhood, but I haven't spotted him yet. So Mr. Robertson, it is next week. Where are those single tracklistsings and tour details? I have been spending my days tracking down demos for songs from Liberty Belle & the Black Diamond Express. I have always felt B&S would probably give a nod or two to this album if given half a chance. The strings at times remind me closely of fishyclap, and of course Struan and Isobel have never made secret their love of the Go-Bs. Anytime someone asks me to recommend the purchase of a random album to them I always recommend Liberty Belle. It is an almost surefire success. I never thought I'd like a country song as much as "Spring Rain." And the piano of "Twin Layers of Lightning," mm, if I had one album on Earth right now it would be this one. Tell me know, why does the ice cream van always twinkle past my window at 8 PM but never at 2. I could really go for a rocket pop right now. Mmm.

Message-ID: Hello! I've just got back from Mr Peacock Johnson's Edinburgh book-signing session, which was a Good Thing because it featured Free Wine! Yay! More of that below, though. I know I like to rant, sometimes, about the library I work in, and how annoying the stupid bloody readers are. However, today I just want to say that there was *one* student in our library today who evidently does have good taste, because she was wearing an If You're Feeling Sinister t-shirt. I filled up the photocopier with paper for her, and she was very reasonable and didn't ask stupid questions about where books were or anything. So, if you were in Edinburgh University library this lunchtime, and got some boy to put some more paper in the Reserve Room photocopier, then, um, hello. It was me. Jonathan someone said that sinister people should wear a badge or something to distinguish themselves. Um, I already do some of the time. It has a picture of me on it, so you can see who I am. Anyway, as I said, I've just come back from Peacock Johnson's Edinburgh book-signing /stroke/ stage-play, or whatever it's meant to be; held in a small heating-duct somewhere under Princes St. I'm not going to describe it all in detail -- surely that should be ListMummy's job? -- but I do want to mention the gaggle of old wives that were sat just in front of me. Evidently, they go to all these book-signing events whoever is supposed to be at the front, and they were all a bit puzzled when a bookstore minion came in to explain that Stuart himself couldn't be with us tonight due to "controversy", but he had sent in a video. "Shocking!" muttered the old women (who had very hairy chins) at Stuart's explanation. "Grr! Mm-mm-mm!" they grumbled at his tale of being-forced-into-hiding. They read closely the small-print on the bookshop leaflets ... "It does *say* Stuart David!" The fact that we could hardly hear the video probably didn't help. Ooh, they *were* shocked when Peacock came onstage and started swearing all over the place. "There's far too many tits here" said one, when Peacock called Mr David "titlicker" for the 798th time. Their jaws dropped open at the word "cunt". They giggled approvingly at Peacock's wee wifey when she poked him and complained at his language. When she started reading out a passage from the book, they were in stitches; and by the end of the performance, they though every single "tit" was hilarious. I don't think they bought the book, though. I also don't know if they noticed that the one time Mr Johnson didn't insist in mumbling into a microphone to speak, his voice sounded strangely like that of Mr David on the video. What a mysterious coincidence. They *did* notice, however, that right from the start -- when they were going "dear, dear, dear" and tutting at Mr David's appalling lack of whatever -- the boy sat behind them was having to try *very* hard not to giggle. Oh, Idleberry challenged us to guess something about a politician who left politics to go back to being a priest or something. I don't know his name, but I bet he's Icelandic. They do things like that. I had a teacher who was a priest, once. Every so often he would go in a mad rage and start throwing tables at people. Taraa, then.

And as in all happy families, it is probably best to stay off money, religion and politics, well, religion and politics. These things can bite very deep, and the most open-hearted, loving people start digging in for the winter. Honey would never forgive me if things got a bit heated. They haven't so far, which is good. Can we leave it here, please, and the usual stuff about not talking about whether we can talk about it. :) Peacock Johnson - what can I say. I found it worked better if I took my glasses off. I did buy a book and got it signed for a friend of a friend. Mr Johnson had problems spelling Filippo, but then I had problems telling him how to spell it. The off-the-cuff chat was the best, and the audience appeared to have members of Looper in it (are there others?), one of whom was Quite Cute. I put my glasses on for that bit. The book is now signed by Stuart David and Peacock Johnson. It had been done before, according to Mrs Johnson.

Not one drop of Ribena will pass my lips until then. Although I might dribble some down between my bumcheeks if I get really desperate. It depends how long he holds out really. When AIDS first started to become popular, people were advised to dribble cognac down their partner's back as a substitute for "penetration". I wonder if it ever caught on? I suppose the authorities were in a bit of a tight corner. The Pinefox has to write more songs, otherwise it places too much pressure on the other Foxglove. He might crack. Looking at the big picture, pop's effect on global culture has been virtually nil. The Khmer Rouge didn't come to power because of Purple Haze, Nelson Mandela wasn't freed because of Free Nelson Mandela, asians weren't dubbed because of Asian Dub Foundation. Pop played no real part in these events. In political terms, all pop has given us is a bunch of neatly packaged platitudes. That's entertainment. We had a nice time listening to it, that's all. Salman Rushdie's appearance on stage with U2 had nothing to do with selling more books or more records. It was something to do with freedom of expression. Rock on. I'm going to read that Ground Beneath Her Feet book and report back. I like Rushdie's pop journalism. He introduced me to the expression "fuck me high heels", in an article about the Rolling Stones. This has made shopping for footwear so much easier. In a recent piece about Shaggy I think I spotted a mistake. Not a pop mistake, a grammar mistake. But I wouldn't stake my life on it. I wouldn't stick my neck out. I think Magnetic Fields sound a lot like Velvet Underground. The Age of Consent was so-called because the members of Bronski Beat were all gay, and they wanted the age of consent lowered so that they could take better advantage of their new-found popularity. Shall I delete this bit, Linda? A book I'm reading now is The Legendary Joe Meek. Chas out of Chas 'n' Dave is in it. He has a surprisingly liberal attitude to homosexuality. Which begs the question, are all comedy cockneys gay? It gives a new meaning to Up the Elephant and Round the Castle, doesn't it? Or was that the original meaning? Thanks for all the Peacock Johnson reports. Sounds GRATE.

Scuffed another stone and thought again. Throwing one into the road i noticed the familiar cracks and shapes that you see ever morning and every evening, they're recognisable but you never mention them, they are just always there. Some of them look like islands or animals, if you moved away you wouldn't recall them you would just notice new ones. i'd walked this stretch too many times and knew far too much about what went on here. I could calculate that if i left my house at 6:55 in the morning i would cross and old man walking his dog by the post box. I would reach the bus stop at 7:00 hours to be greeted with the company of a rather over affectionate business couple and a ginger accountant who was on the verge of some kind of upset. i also knew that if the man with the dog past me at the corner, i was highly likely to miss my bus. It had been a good 5 months since i had been here but everything was horribly similar. The houses and the colour of their bricks,the shitty bus service and me; i hadnt really changed and that pisses me off. There was one difference though, the absence of some local folk around my age, who seemed to be on my wavelength ( a rare occurance around these parts). You see, they had talent and were in a band, and now they're supporting the likes of Ocean colour Scene. It looks like they're gonna be massive, so i pretty much know that i wont see them staggering around these street again, because if they've got any sense they would have hired a van and be livin it "large" somewhere else, anywhere else but this place. I saw them afew times at a college band night where i sneeked in some alcohol, which is perhaps why they cancelled it the following year and at the charlotte. They always had the energy of a brass band on speed and seemed to know where they were going, i wish i could say the same. (At this point i went to bed) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <025a01c0cdac$bb004540$729ef1d1@Brier.sb.net> I know it doesn't sound possible, but it could be true. I noticed a very strange phenomenon this past weekend. About 3 different girls that i met admitted that they thought i was gay. Although this isn't an insult in any way, it's discouraging and it prolly doesn't help my chances of shacking up with such delicious babes. When pressed for a reason for their assumed gayness of me, one girl said it was my voice. I gotta remember to go deep & husky when turning on the charm. So then i was wondering: have the years & years of singing along with Stuart turned my voice all fey & lilting? Shall i stop singing along, and maybe just snap my fingers? Does Belle & Sebastian make you gay? The other two girls said i just seemed "too nice to be straight." "Too comfortable around girls." So there you have it. I need to be a macho dickhead asshole in order to meet women. Every macho dickhead i pass on the street seems to have one on his arm. So that's what i gotta become. When i suggested this, Fiona (the girl who guessed correctly that i was straight) said "Oh no Brier, please don't, yer great just the way you are" with her puppydog eyes, and she had one hand in my pocket and the other one was, well, nevermind. She was the only one i wasn't really attracted to either. So there you go: The only ones who like me, i don't like them; and vice-versa. Of course, had any of these fair-haired vixens spent a few minutes with me under the covers, the percolation of my provocation would need no further investigation. This from my sources: "The movie rights to Touching From a Distance, a biography about the life and suicide of Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis have been sold to Double A Films. ... The film -- titled Transmission and based on the 1995 book penned by Curtis' widow Deborah -- is being penned by writer/director Michael Stock. Filming is tentatively planned to begin by late fall. (snip) In May of 1980, on the eve of his band's first-ever U.S. tour, the enigmatic Ian Curtis -- suffering from depression and epilepsy -- hanged himself. ... "I think Ian was sort of like all those characters like James Dean, who live fast and die young," opines Hobby. "Ian was really unique in that he was epileptic, believed he was getting these transmissions from God, and had something to say at a young age." Goin' into LA again tonight, to see the Dodgers vs. the Pirates. Looking forward to an LA meetup soon. I've been to that city so much in the past month, i should prolly rent a flat there. For pix of the last weekend there, go to: www.brier2.homestead.com/LA1.html Congrats to this month's postcard winners: Jonathan H, Jenn P, and Gram. Sleep tight. Stay light.

Message-ID: <988139998.3ae5d1dec357f@webmail1.wm.edu> I have to agree with Brier wholeheartedly on this, as i too know the excruciating awkwardness of being thought not- straight. the reasons the girls give to me usually run the gamut from "but you always listen to me when I talk" to "you dress waaaay too nicely". huh. My friend and I, who has been in a similar situation before, decide that we have to take steps to rid ourselves of our 'nice guy' personalitites. However, it has proven muh harder than we thought- I cannot, for the life of me, wear anything with a huge logo on it without feeling rather silly- and saying things like 'sup' and 'whatever baby' is just stomach-warpingly bad. we came up with a protocol though- one must attempt to be entirely aloof at all times- never expressing emotion, and complimenting only those who might do something for you.... couple this with an overabundant sense of frankess, and success might be yours. it is SO hard to be an asshole though. I don't think I'll ever get it down... empathy is just impossible to negate when you're sitting next to a striking blond. so yes girls, why do we nice guys always get the shaft, so to speak?

It's like, I joined the list because I wanted to read about the things that B&S stand for, like sex*, drugs** and rock and roll***, but instead I keep reading things about fucking twee things like how some student type boys who never pull any girls and whinge about it, or something. We ALL hate reading twee posts like that, I wanna read about things that MATTER, stuff that COUNTS, like the welfare of snails who died because of inconsiderate people (esp Americans) throwing their half eaten Doner kebabs into bushes and the snails get melted by the chilli sauce. Enough is enough, we have to stop these tweeness and on for the hard stuff. We all know that the best country in the world is Iraq cos it's enemies with America and we hate America, anthrax is pretty cool and helps plants grow funny colours. Ever thought about freedom of speech? No talk of , or allowed?? What else can we talk about? We'd have to start talking about B&S and music and lives of B&S fans.. yeeeeeerk! ! Frankly Linda, you bore me, you have had it in for me since the beginning. You have had nothing but a hard-on for me since the get-go.

I thought we were gonna steamroller straight into summer, but now we're walking briskly and watching things grow before the heat overtakes us and we'll just have to loll about. Today I saw a girl in a lavender coat made of light wool, or maybe a sort of tweed. There was a slit in the back and when she walked I could see the olive green lining. It was a really nice coat. It looked good on her. She had naturally curly hair done up with one of those clips. Yesterday I walked by Mirror Lake and saw a really frightful sight. Several ducks were astride another duck and they were pecking its head, fiercely. I hope that isn't how they mate. Then I saw a couple kissing goodbye in a car. The kiss could be described as a pecking sort of kiss. I looked away immediately, but I couldn't help notice. The day before that I saw a dead cat at an intersection in a residential area, so not a very wide street. It was lying at the dead center of the street, as if someone had placed it there, with its front legs splayed apart. > Looking at the big picture, pop's effect on global culture has been > virtually nil.

Meester Miller, what we wanna know is this: Did Atari Teenage Riot improve anyone's score in Ever Quest? I know about that game because my brother used to play it. Maybe he still does. I'm very bad at video games, so I don't really ever play them. I just move the controls about randomly for a while 'til my brother loses all patience with me and pushes me aside. And what about Cornershop? Did they help any struggling young couples start a cornershop or off-license, as they're called over there? I heard that in New York many liquor stores are owned by Korean couples. But that's just the opposite of an off-license, isn't it? I once got lost on the way to an off-license. It was very embarrassing. You know, it's the life of the people we're interested in (a samurai is not one of 'the people')... I've been to Aberdeen before. That's where Ailsa is from, I think. I was only at the train station though. Scotland is nice cos it's cool and there are lotsa lakes and trees. I wish I had gone to Edinburgh and seen the university and all places they sing about in B & S songs. I wish I had stood around longer on Byres Road like that character does in the first book of the New York Trilogy. (It wasn't Byres Road though.) I coulda stood outside Hillhead Station waiting for Sebastian to come back from meeting Isabelle or stood outside Iceland waiting for Stuart to choose a fish pie for his dinner. I wouldn't have stalked them. Only said hello. Or not even that. Just stood anonymously, not really there, you know. Oh well.

And there are a lot of other rad things too, the radness doesn't stop there. I once went to Glasgow and left a note on Struan's door. I just tacked it up and ran away. I was hoping he would love me, but he doesn't, still. I think I've mentioned this before. I'm not quite over it. I've been posting like MAD lately to sinister and poppyfresh and some other lists too that I usually keep my mouth shut on. Mostly antagonizing people. This excess of posting/antagonizing can be traced directly to the end of the semester and the fact that I have enough homework to keep me firmly seated in front of the computer while still not wanting to type say, a 12 page paper on The Unnameable. How much more do I have to post before I get sillustrated?? The antagonizing, I think is a combination of end of semester crankiness and pms. I have finished my chicken nuggets, I KNEW I should have gotten a 9 piece. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

It's this hexagon that has sensors that detect movement, so you use your arms or whatever to engage the sensors to the music. So instead of just moving your feet as fast as you can while attempting Paranoia on maniac mode, you actually DANCE!!! 2 - dubuya sucks.(period) 3 - The new manics album is grate...ms europa disco dancer has gotta be the funniest track in recent memory (not as funny as dirty dream #2, but pretty darn close) 4 - Iron Chef is gotta be the best television program ever.

And what covers do you reckon they'll do? And what shoes will Isobel be wearing, and will we get close enough to see them? Of course we will, we'll be in the front row, won't we? /me sharpens her elbows and practises her jabbing technique Shall we all wear matching T-shirts and make ourselves look like sad fans or should we keep our cool and wear shades and pretend we don't care and look bored? I don't think I could look bored, I've never seen Belle & Sebastian play live before. How on earth I'm supposed to concentrate on work today I don't know. The corners of my mouth keep twitching and I keep making typing errors and shouting at my computer and the people I work near will be starting to think I'm really weird, if they don't think that already. And should I wear my killer heels to make sure I get a good view and piss off the person behind me or should I wear trainers for comfort whilst dancing? Maybe I could wear trainers but with fishnet tights - glamour without pain. There's a thing about the gigs on the NME website at http://www.nme.com/NME/External/News/News_Story/0,1004,26303,00.html It's nothing Mick/Neil haven't already told us, but it does say there is an exclusive B&S feature coming soon. Not sure what they mean by that, but time will tell. I'm off to get my photies from ATP now. I think I'll have to run to Boots just to get rid of some of this energy. I wish I had a trampoline.

Yesterday I didn't know anything; today I still know nothing other than the fact that my wife and I are going to come to Scotland from the States to see the B&S dates in June. Got our tickets this morning via Way Ahead (friendly and efficient....highly recommended) and am just waiting to hear quotes on a couple of flights. We will see you all in the queues or down front. Please say hello to us. We are friendly and we will undoubtedly be a little lost. I will be the old one (graying at 27 already.....) with the cute (but not annoyingly so) wife.

Message-ID: Wow! Carnegie Hall!! Big time! Flipping heck, they're far bigger across the water than I ever realised! The water being the Firth of Forth, of course, but I'm sure Carnegie Hall, Dunfermline compares pretty well to Carnegie Hall, New York. I mean, all the legends have played there - the Krankies, Glen Michael, perhaps even Sydney Divine. And it's pretty near a bus station as well, for added Belle and Sebastian cliche factor, although most of the buses that go there are Stagecoach buses, and we don't like them, do we? Oh no. But if you ever do go to Dunfermline bus station, for whatever reason, don't go into the shopping centre next to it - it's full of neds and the sausage rolls in the cafe are extra greasy and will have you going to the toilet for days. Some people have posted reports about the Stuart David/Peacock Johnston readings. Everyone's favourite Denny denizen Sweetie was going to write about the Glasgow one, but she hasn't, so I thought I might instead. It'll never be as good, but y'know, we'll try our best... Actually, I'm not entirely sure what to write, as I spent most of it unable to concentrate due to needing a pee (my suggestion of staying in the pub had, unfortunately, been rejected) and being unable to go as I was sitting in the front row, having arrived too late to grab the seats up the back and pretend to be hard. But from what I could tell it was pretty much the standard nonsense that had happened elsewhere: swearing, mumbling, a bit reading, a bit music, and glue sniffing. Although it did differ in that Evil Bob had moved on from the Pritt Stick reported in Oxford to Spray Mount, which took me back to the good ol' days of working in the production department of an advertising agency, when we used Spray Mount all day and used to buzz around like giddy little bunnies, before going home with terrible sore heads. Ignore what people tell you about all the cocaine advertising people take - they don't need it when they've got Spray Mount! Anyway, like little Ronnie Corbet in his Pringle sweater and big chair, I digress. What disturbed me most was that some people have said they got free booze at these readings. Why not in Glasgow?! A city perhaps most famous for mad, mad drinking! I am shocked. There also seemed to be more music elsewhere, we only got the enhanced version of Rhinestone Cowboy. I was also shocked by the timidness of the audience - I thought Glasgow audiences were notoriously rawkous. Obviously not audiences full of Stuart David fans, so there weren't many questions. A chap in the row behind me, who I'm told bore more than a passing resemblance to occasional list memeber Jason Andreas, did ask the most important one, though - does Stuart David smell of wee? To which Mr. Peacock replied "Are you still at fucking primary school, son?", although Evil Bob did say that he smelled "pretty bad". It wasn't specified whether this was of wee or not, however. Then some idiot in the front row, who may or may not look just a tiny wee bit like Nick Cave (although he can't really see it himself) asked whether Peacock thought that he could take Frank Begbie, only to be informed that Frank Begbie was, in fact, a fictional character. And that was about it, really. There was a bit of confusion at the end when some people getting their books signed didn't seem to have realised that it was a joke and told Peacock to leave Stuart David alone, as he was a genius, or something. I didn't buy a book, cause I'm Scottish and therefore a miser (and I'd given my money to people to buy books for themselves and absent members of the frighteningly named Sinister List organisation). Peter Miller asked about Dunoon. I was nearly killed by an American nuclear submarine while on a boat from Dunoon to Rothesay. That's all I remember about it. SO yeh, that's it...erm...see you all at Dunfermline bus station.

Message-ID: <03754DDCC645D311AA6700805F854E43027754C8@lotus.ntu.ac.uk> Guess which song I'm listening to then? So B&S have decided to start their tour by playing a gig in Oon. Nice of them to pay for her to fly over from Thailand. Now, I've met her before, and I'm a bit confused about how they're going to fit the entire band inside such a small person. Maybe they're just planning on surgically inserting a loudspeaker into her body, and just standing her onstage with her mouth open while the band play in another room? I'm not even going to ask how they'll manage to do surround sound. I've decided sadly that I'm too skint to go to every show on the tour this time, so I think I'll wait for the dates in England to be announced. Which is good news for anyone who fancies being able to see the band without some freakishly tall bloke standing in front of them. But if anyone fancies hiring a campervan for a week or so and travelling round the country to all the English dates, get in touch... Honeyetta is starting to get vicious already, and she's only been our mummy for a week. Next, she'll be borrowing Honey's dominatrix outfit. You have been warned... I know we've discussed the nature of P!O!P! on here before, back in the old days. But I reckon if a song makes you want to change to a different channel because you dislike it so much, then it can't be that bad a song because at least it's provoking some reaction. The worst songs are the ones you just don't even notice because they're so anodyne*. The fact that the Sugarbabes have been around for ages and yet noone can remember a single one of their songs is pretty damning... (I'm still annoyed though that the Destiny's Child song from Charlie's Angels was on the soundtrack album, but the wonderful Twiggy Twiggy by Pizzicato 5 wasn't, even though that appears in the film as well) I notice on the lyrics page on the website, noone has worked out the lyrics to "Take Your Carriage Clock and Shove It" yet.

They are much more rock and roll than many many other bands that are out there today. Rock and roll is about style, not about the kind of music you play or the lyrics you sing (although Judy was a teenage rebel, which is pretty rock and roll). Before I forget: I must stress that this message is only on the issue of B&S being rock and roll, and is not intended to take some point in a certain discussion that was going on between the rock and roll lines. To prevent further problems with the definition of rock and roll, we could make a list of things that are, or are not, rock and roll. My point: B&S are rock and roll. Marc Come to think of it, it is pretty rock and roll to fly from the US to scotland to see B&S. I am more or less planning to attend a show too, but coming over from Holland is not that rock and roll. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <3AE6D974.8576.38FA19@localhost> God, those tour dates give me a dilemma. Either we go to Glasgow and have that great Glasgow knees up I've been thinking of for ages, and see Belle and Sebastian there, or we wait until the English dates are announced and go somewhere here for a lot less money. Arg, the agony. It's a lot of dates though, so far, isn't it? I've been at home in the country for the last month, and I'm still getting used to city life again. The biggest news at home was that, despite foot and mouth, the Safari Park was open but you could only see the lizards and the fish. Here we have armour plated litter bins, "City in Travel Card Chaos", and buses shouting about the new R.O.B.I.N (Reduction Of Burglary In Nottingham) scheme. The back of the buses have a dirty crook behind bars shouting "You banged me up good and proper" to a flying robin with some handcuffs. We don't have any of this sophistication at home. If you want to be banged up you just go up the country park. List mummy Linda needs list name I think. A bit like Honey, only different. How about Marmite, or Fishpaste? List Mummy Fishpaste. That's enough to satisfy anyone's fancies. When I walked home yesterday there were all sorts of things stuck to the pavement. Crisp packets, newspapers, even a poo in a bag. Much more interesting than wee Karn's pavement photographs. A little boy on a tricycle, about four years old, sat outside the corner shop. He stared at me as I got closer. "Oh no", he said to his imaginary friend, "This one isn't nasty. He's a nice man". His imaginary friend didn't seem too sure.

And I don't blame it, for I don't talk about that stuff neither, I mean either. But when the other day's Guardian announced a new production of The Playboy of the Western World, I was oddly interested. I looked closer. Do I mean, more closely? It turned out to be in Liverpool. Hm. It turned out to be directed by Robert Delamere. At that point I practically spilled my shredded wheat all over the floor. I mean, there's only one Robert Delamere. 2. Speaking of which, I was going to have a lot to say about football, but then I left yesterday's Guardian on a train. 3. Nobody - not even my editor - has mentioned the way, I mean, the fact, that Elvis Costello called the Byrds 'modernist' on Walk On By two weeks ago. Sometimes I wonder what my editor is up to. He's probably in some garrulous restaurant or other. Today I received tons of photographs of him looking young , dynamic and beautiful. I was so jealous I burned them immediately. 4. The geezer Miller returned. >>> I'm on Ribena strike until The Pinefox agrees to write some more songs. Not one drop of Ribena will pass my lips until then. I believe you. >>> The Pinefox has to write more songs, otherwise it places too much pressure on the other Foxglove. He might crack. He might. Perhaps he has? That would explain it. >>> Salman Rushdie's appearance on stage with U2 had nothing to do with selling more books or more records. It was something to do with freedom of expression. Rock on. I'm glad you said that. >>> I'm going to read that Ground Beneath Her Feet book and report back. I love the way that Miller's world is a world in which one 'reports' on things. It's just one instance of what's distinctive and funny about him. >>> I think Magnetic Fields sound a lot like Velvet Underground. Is that a joke? >>> Which begs the question, are all comedy cockneys gay? No, no, sorry, that's not right. You mean it *raises* the question - it provokes us to ask the question. To beg the question is something different. >>> Thanks for all the Peacock Johnson reports. Sounds GRATE. Rubbish. It sounds rubbish. I hope the geezer Miller is not offended by that semi-grammatical issue above. I think his mail was fabulous. Especially the bit about the Pinefox. 5. If Llaura Llew doesn't return soon, I'll have to dissect a Dorothy Parker poem in public. 6. If Mooro doesn't return soon, I'll have to take George Harrison to court. Hampton Court. 7. If Cookie doesn't return soon, I'll have to learn to play 'I Need Two Heads' so that it sounds even worse than the original. A tough call, I know, but I think I can meet it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I think I should be fine unless people stand outside my window shouting "lar-ry! lar-ry!" When I told to my mum last month that I want to stay in London after I graduate and get a job she called me a freak. Now that it has been raining constantly for two weeks I think I kind of see her point. But I am not moaning, of course :) London First Picnic of The Year 2001 will then take place in Primrose as the lovely Sally said. To anyone wondering how and where we meet don't ask me cos I don't know, so there. But I am sure that BG Mark and Juicy Lucy will come up with a solution. OK I am off to eat Cherry Drops and work on my bloody research paper. Gah.

This is all getting far too exiting, Lots of Tour dates and lots of cattyness on the mailing list. Well I woke up to a brighter world today. Oooh, a 3 year wait has come to an end. I sprinted out the library this morning only to be put on hold by wayahead but eventually I got those tickets. Now as a new Sinisterian I would like to put across the plight of the unconnected Belle and Sebastian fans. Hands up all those who have never previously seen Belle and Sebastian due to one of the following: 1. You only found out about the gig after it had happened. 2. You only found out about the gig after the tickets had sold out 3. The gig had sold out before it was even formerly announced. Well anyway, my point being that this morning I was trying to gauge just how obsessive a fan I wanted to be, was it going to be all dates from Dunoon to the Barras, just both days at the barras, Dunoon or another smaller venue and one day at the Barras or what? Tough one isn't it? Well money is but really shouldn't be an issue but here is what is. Let us join now and think of all those unsuspecting fans who are calmly sitting around not realising that these gigs are happening. Is it fair for us to snatch all that is available and leave them with listening to that Bowlie bootleg for ever more. No I say! Let us not be greedy and allow others to see this spectacle. However, coming from America is soooooo rock and roll. Yeah, you guys should immediately qualify for more than one night. You guys are surely the proof that ends the r&r debate. Hurrah. Well I'll get off my slippery soap box and leave you to it. Can't wait to meet you all!

A brave boy asks: 'Is it true that Stuart David smells of wee?' and the crowd erupts. Peacock Johnson, though, doesn't smile." The review is a detailed account of the entire performance (or "postmodern tomfoolery") and The Guardian gives it 4 out of 5 stars. Does anyone know if they've reviewed the book itself yet, and if that fared as well?

And I'm going too! On the friday the 15th at glasgow barrowlands. With the lovely Ian Hatcher! But isn't the barrowlands really rough? I saw The Big Leaves (and catatonia) there, and it was really ruff. They checked me for knives. I was only 13 and they checked me for knives. And I got my bum pinched too. So are any sinister types going that night? My standard grades are really soon too, which is frightening. But also really fun, because I made a revision planner and exam table for the next 7 weeks, all in different colours, with all my topics planned out and little notes with study tips and stuff like "Now you can go and drink vast quantities of Ribena" for each end of week landmark. And it's so grate. And I made a key at the bottom for colours, and I used a ruler and everything. Sorry, I'm quite sad, but it's my first proper exams ever and it's so exciting. And scary too, because I need to do a lot better than I did in my prelims. Is it silly to want to be a dentist? I wanted to be a doctor, but I would have to stay on in school for longer, and I don't much like school, for some reason. I got pulled up in school yesterday, because apparently my uniform is 'distasteful'. No it's not. It was the black and white stripey knee high socks, which are not allowed. They should have told us that. And I'm not allowed to wear my denim jacket either, which is rubbish, because my other light jacket got wrecked by a hard kid, and also it has lots of cool badges on it. But I played it really thick, and kept saying stuff like "Is it because it's not allowed?" and "Oh, right, should I not wear it then". And it took her ages to give me into trouble, because I kept getting her to repeat stuff. Ra. I'll just do something else to annoy her that she can't complain about, like make my skirt whoreishly short (not that it is now), or wear no bra. I've got a new badge. It says "i'm going to be a dad". The blonde has a similar one saying "mum to be". A hark back to the days when I had short hair and they called us Barbie and Ken. I can't wait to be on study leave, because you can hang about the school pretending to use the library, and walk out whenever you feel like and wear no uniform. The power would go to my head. Ian Brown is not good, and I won't be told otherwise. Hugs, Jen Ps.

I was in a real dilemma as to whether to try and get some tickets for one of the Scotland gigs and risk the devestating heartbreak of them all being sold out, or to wait for the England dates. Seeing as I cant really aford the time or the money to go oop north, I guess it's safer to wait... Wonder where they'll play here in London? After the set at Bowlie I was sat outside on a wall having a bit of a cry to myself, when who should come along and sit next to me than non other than Monica Queen. She had a T-shirt on with a star on it. I wonder who I'll sit on a wall with this time?

So to anyone who was disappointed, SORRY! You can all throw rotten vegetables at me the next time you're in Edinburgh. I was just trying to make a joke based on their being a big, fancy fuck off place in New York called the Carnegie Hall and their also being one (not so big, fancy or fuck off) in a little inbred, sheep-shaggy town that no-one with any sense would want to go to in Scotland called Dunfermline. Which is where our favourites are playing. But it obviously didn't work, cause I'm useless and everything, and I only ended up confusing people. So again, I apologise. And now I've gone and offended all the Dunfermile Sinister children (are there any?!), so I'd better shut up.

Eh? I don't know. Well, I bet you're all just gagging to dig your tartan blankets, plastic cutlery and frisbees out of the cupboard, so without further ado, here are the details you need to know if you're coming to the first picnic of the season (yay!) Date: Saturday, 5th May Time: 2pm Meeting Point: outside the Odeon Cinema on Parkway, just round the corner from Camden Town. Like all Odeon Cinemas, it has GREAT BIG WRITING on the outside telling you it's an ODEON so you shouldn't miss it unless you're suffering from life-threatening myopia. Moving on to: the tippety top of Primrose Hill, via the extremely handy off licence on Parkway (Oddbins? Threshers? Can't remember, but they'll uncork your wine for you if you smile sweetly) If it rains, which is a distinct possibility: The Spread Eagle pub, again on Parkway. So, bring lots of bouze and some kind of foodstuff with which to line your stomach and (hopefully) prevent pukery. You don't want to be mistaken for a Camden tramp, do you? If you're thinking of coming on your own, don't be shy! By all means email me (off list, natch) if you'd like me to say "Please, please, please come and don't worry that nobody knows you because we'll be nice and look after you and nobody knew me at my first picnic until I got very pissed and started waving a yellow stuffed bunny rabbit in everyone's faces and generally being silly).

And I'm going too! On the friday the 15th at glasgow barrowlands. With the lovely Ian Hatcher! But isn't the barrowlands really rough? I saw The Big Leaves (and catatonia) there, and it was really ruff. They checked me for knives. I was only 13 and they checked me for knives. And I got my bum pinched too. So are any sinister types going that night? My standard grades are really soon too, which is frightening. But also really fun, because I made a revision planner and exam table for the next 7 weeks, all in different colours, with all my topics planned out and little notes with study tips and stuff like "Now you can go and drink vast quantities of Ribena" for each end of week landmark. And it's so grate. And I made a key at the bottom for colours, and I used a ruler and everything. Sorry, I'm quite sad, but it's my first proper exams ever and it's so exciting. And scary too, because I need to do a lot better than I did in my prelims. Is it silly to want to be a dentist? I wanted to be a doctor, but I would have to stay on in school for longer, and I don't much like school, for some reason. I got pulled up in school yesterday, because apparently my uniform is 'distasteful'. No it's not. It was the black and white stripey knee high socks, which are not allowed. They should have told us that. And I'm not allowed to wear my denim jacket either, which is rubbish, because my other light jacket got wrecked by a hard kid, and also it has lots of cool badges on it. But I played it really thick, and kept saying stuff like "Is it because it's not allowed?" and "Oh, right, should I not wear it then". And it took her ages to give me into trouble, because I kept getting her to repeat stuff. Ra. I'll just do something else to annoy her that she can't complain about, like make my skirt whoreishly short (not that it is now), or wear no bra. I've got a new badge. It says "i'm going to be a dad". The blonde has a similar one saying "mum to be". A hark back to the days when I had short hair and they called us Barbie and Ken. I can't wait to be on study leave, because you can hang about the school pretending to use the library, and walk out whenever you feel like and wear no uniform. The power would go to my head. Isn't Kevin Carlyon such a hero for putting a spell on loch ness to stop nessie from being DNA sampled? It was really cool. Even if it doesn't work (which it will, so there), he's managed to completely hack off the research team by getting in their way. I love him. Ian Brown is not good, and I won't be told otherwise. Hugs, Jen Ps. Claps for listmummy linda (or should it be list daddy, because of the whole gender confusal thing), cause I feel like it. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I wonder what other crazy mad-cap mixed up capers will ensue? The Barrowland Ancient Burial Site on the Suffolk Downs? I recently tried to find The Barrowlands by car and drove around for ages before I twigged that it was the bingo hall hoards of children were making for (I won't mention the concert - far too embarrassing). One goood thing about it is that in the ladies toilet, a wee wumman directs you to the correct cubicle. You stand in the queue and when it is your turn, she points at an empty cubicle "There you go, hen." I hovered like a goalkeeper, not knowing which way to leap. There could be more than one vacated at the same time. Somehow I felt proud as I made for the right one - I hadn't held things up by hesitating, or slipping on the floor, and I didn't have to ask her to repeat herself. Second thing, there is a slight problem with one of the email addresses on the list. Does anyone know selfhealer at gmx.net? This email address is bouncing mails from sinister, which means that when you post to sinister, you get a bounce message and it may appear that your message hasn't gone through. It will have.

I am not sure if I can contain my eggcitement. I ordered two tickets to see everyone's favorite rawk band in Dunfermline on the 11th of June!!! I believe I'll have to go to the show with my dad though, but he's pretty cool. I wish I could go to more, but I don't see it happening. Anybody know how long a flight from Atlanta to London is? I'm too eggcited. I'm not sure what I was going to say anymore. :( About B+S and Homosexuality: I'm not sure if B+S can make someone appear to be a homosexual, but my ex-girlfriend thought I was gay based on my obsession with the Pet Shop Boys. Was that justified of her? Even my new girlfriend's mom thinks I'm gay, but for entirely different reasons. Ah well. I have to admit though, B+S can hurt someone's masculinity, if anyone cares about such things. I'm not sure why though. Belle and Sebastian rock it hardcore.

An articled entitled "Tangled Up in Bob" caught my sight, so I started reading it. It's all about how big Bob Dylan is and how Dylanology is something that people will be able to major in in twenty years or so. Of all the talks about future, being able to major in Dylanology is a darn creative one, I have to say. I really like Belle and Sebastian, I think everyone should listen to bands like B&S and the Clientele and Kings of Convenience. Will, the only other person in my school aware of Belle and Sebastian's existence, is an interesting human being. He is a hermit, and although he did get my message inquiring as to his ownership of a copy of the tab to Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying, he never called back. He is a dork. But I like him anyway. I have to go to class now. Watch a film on Elie Wiesel... I hate religion papers. Then I get to go to my Chinese class and make a book out of cloth... dorky, I know... Thank you very much to everyone who tried to help me with my little bit of AOL problem thing.. Honey was especially kind and caring. Thank you, thank you, I love you all.

Everyone is tearing their hair out trying to find out whether >Dunoon >is a real place or just a joke, and if it is real, where is it? Who lives >there? Is there a crazy golf course? Let's check it out: This is my first post, as I can't pass up mentioning Dunoon. Absolutely lovely place. I got married there last October in Castle House, so Dunoon makes me all fuzzy. Especially in conjunction with Belle and Sebastian, 'cos I met my wife when I traveled to Chicago to see the band there. Or here, as the case is now. Now if only the wife actually *liked* B&S. She does like the Gentle Waves, though. We listened to a pre-release copy of the new album all through our drive up to Scotland from London. I would die to see the show in Dunoon. If only US immigration would let me out of the country. Or more accurately, if only they would let me back in after the show. My paperwork is still pending. A Canadian and an American eloping to a small castle in Scotland may sound romantic, but there are problems in the long run.

Message-ID: Hiya all, I' m soooooooooooo excited. Rumours are about everywhere, and some of them are even confirmed. B&S are gonna do some concerts. Finally I will be able to see them live on stage. But but but but,.. I've seen rumours about Spain and other countries, some dates in Scotland and the UK were confirmed, but nothing about Belgium. And, since that's where I live and where I was born, I'd like to get some news on that. So, if anybody knows anything, be it just a rumour, about B&S playing anywhere in Belgium in the next few months, then mail me please. I will reward you. Starchaser, Everybody will have their 15 minutes of fame P.S. New EP coming out. Can't wait.

Here's the Italian, for what it's worth: "Questa e' propria piscia, me ne vado". But my Italian's gone up the swannie, so feel free to correct it. Hannah, I don't think you really needed to ask what to do on the 5th. Or did you post, in fairness, the same question to the Cannabis list? If so, by about the 15th September you should receive a reply along the lines of "yeah, no, whatever... what did you say again? Man?" I hope all London listees are up for the footie.

Im looking forward to seeing lots of sinners at the picnic too,Primrose Hill is my favourite picnic spot i think its so lovely there & you can see the whole of London which is a pretty awesome sight. its going to be such a neat weekend in june cos thers so many people from all over the place who are coming to the show its going to be ace,its a shame its not till June,lets hope nothing bad happens to anyone who is wanting to go between now and then that would be very upsetting :(. I hope they play all over the place too so everyone gets a chance to catch them as it will be a shame if anyone missed out. i got a pen thrown at me today at work but maybe i deserved i was being a bit hyperactive and i think a big office isnt the place to be hyperactive,but it was fun being hyperactive untill the pen was thrown at me,it was a good job it missed or it would have hurt :(. i've been watching KeRrang Tv alot lately and its quite disturbing,i cant say im a fan of limp biscuit and quorn infact i really dont like them at all. the new B&s song sounds grate too i'm happy they are releasing lonliness of a middle distace runner cos i've only got it on a very rickity old hissy tape and it sonds as if it was recorded in the 18th century by a snake,which would be quite bizzare if it was :/. im sorry if this post is bad and a bit hyper active but im just overjoyed at the prospect of seeing B&S,i wonder if they'll do La Pastie............ daf xx P.s look out for me at the picnic i'll bring homemade B&S biscuits and cheap beer,yummmmmmmmmmmmmmyyy :). _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Don't look now, but I've crawled out of my desert corner to post; I've abandoned the land of the lurker and am dancing with joy. Not the joy all of you lucky souls in the isles have, mind you. I'm afraid there are no picnics or concerts in my diminuitive existance, so instead, I am living vicariously through you lot - and what else would this marvelous list be better for? I admit jealousy. Heaps of it. It's not the noblest of mindsets, but there it is, anyway. Summer fares are just too exorbitant for me, although I long - ache - for a live B&S experience. I'm a student and I'm unemployed (a summer wasting? I should be so lucky). So I'll have to make due with my records. Although, seriously, a picnic would be lovely this time of year. It's just about a 100 degree outside, right now, and an intimate Sinister soiree wouldn't be amiss. It would at least cool down to around 90 at night, and what better time to gather? Well if there are any lurkers out there bold enough to admit it, and kindly step forward, that are in the southwest states (preferably Arizona - come on, there's got to be SOMEONE?). . . . well. It's something to hope for, anyway. I think I've said my piece. I'll be off to listen to TBWTAS, which in my opinion, is, in fact, the ultimate summer music experience. in durance vile, and with unprecedented affection, Shannon. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Not that it's any good. But, well, I tried. �Just Kurt?� by David Howie The lonely, lying Jesus man, Lay aground by �his own� hand, Listless and lifeless, lethargy takes hold Of an idol deemed strong, a man reckoned bold. His innocent hands na�ve of vice, A shot of candy, no grasp on his life, In Rome, we were wrong. Watch as the vultures feed off his body, Reporters, anchors, their platitudes shoddy. A Hole has opened from whence he came The shameless lady shares her shame. Her Doll Heart effects a nadir Countless others succumb to their fear. Lost lambs mourn their shepherd, Messiah on the podium, Disenfranchised, But heard. We've heard it all before, I know, but there's my tuppence. Thank you, David. PS If anybody hated/liked/loved/mildly disliked/convulsed at my poem, then write to me and rant/gush/be miffed/be sick on me please. I like it when I get mail. I'm terrible at replying though, so if I don't reply, I'm not being rude, only lazy.

Talking of Judy and the dream of horses, some cheeky little band decided to actually go ahead and make a little RAWK version of it, and called it Judy and and dream of corpses.. how silly can they get? http://www.cockscrew.com/rbd/judy.mp3 AND they didn't have a bass player so it sounded more like snooby doo than Slipknot.. maybe I should play bass for them! Rock on, the mighty Red Bull Dozers, nonetheless :) The new Ash album is amazing.. it has an Interactive Ash Video maker which is like the coolest thing in the world! If only the new B&S single will have something like that too. Ash and B&S.. nice for Jordi to tell me the line up for the festival in Spain with fun bands and free booze, I can now feel very depressed about not being able to go, however... I've got the ticket for B&S in Glasgow!!!! Yay yay yay yay, 16th June here we come.

This is mainly out of the fact the guy from Red House Painters, mark Kozelek, did an album of nothing but early ac-dc covers, which was suprisingly beautiful, taking it was old ac-dc covers. So I would not put such a thing past any band at this point. This means i would not be completely shocked if B&S did a Iron Maden cover. The real question which song would they cover. Plus it would make the list more interesting as we discuss which heavey metal song B&S would cover if they ever did cover heavey metal. Would it be something we never knew the words for in the first place, or would it be the artsy direction of covering a bit more of a respectical band like tool. Oh the humor that would ensue from such a meaningless discussion. Honestly i know nothing about iron maden or heavey metal, other than what i learn of thier exploits on behind the music, and my old hardcore housemates, but i do think this is a thread that needs to be pursued to its fullest.

I think the 2.50 booking fee is a bit excessive, you could probably buy quite a bit of land for 2.50 in Dunoon. Sunny Spain is right, I hope Isobel doesn't forget to pack her factor 9 million Ambre Solaire, otherwise she'll end up looking like a ruddy tomato. That line-up is the most excruciating pile of toss I've ever seen. I wonder if Stuart will dare to sing his new Spanish song? Aberdeen's a bit rough, I hope Isobel wears a crash helmet, the locals drop milk crates full of empty milk bottles from the top of tower blocks, you know. Dunfermline is full of squirrels. The concert is listed as "unreserved seating", which means mad bastard scramble. So much more rock 'n' roll than the genteel surroundings of The Barrowlands, charmingly located in the popular tourist area The Barras, where you can go for a nice wander and haggle for souvenirs like secondhand porno mags and knuckledusters, not to mention the local cuisine like square sausage and translucent chips. Someone asked which publication / journal PF works for. He's probably too modest to mention it, but he's a junior reporter for Meryl Streep Monthly. His work can also be lapped up in an excellent book published by the Poetry Society called The Message, alongside articles by such luminaries as Jonzi D and Stevie T. I don't know if it's still available. I see the coach of the Japan national football team is one Philippe Troussier. Any relation? The Peacock Johnson promotional extravaganza made me laugh, I suppose you had to be there to appreciate its full crapness. A group that's quite good, I think, is The Squeeze. Great lyrics, catchy melodies. A book that's quite good is Up The Junction, clocking in at a sensible 97 pages including drawings.

It did for the BILL WELLS TRIO last night, but only after some considerable melodic smoothness. Including. Yes, including our man Stevie Jackson, presumably the bespectacled man wearing a blue shirt and playing a harmonica. He looked tall. That's just the stage, I thought. Then he walked past. He is tall, relatively speaking. Gig speakers dispense with the hosiery of the home hi-fidelity and display their curvy plastic black bits to the audience. The stage is clad in what appear to be oversize ceramic tiles. These are, in fact, bits of maroon painted medium density fibre board screwed into the plasterboard. Their acoustic function is dubious, and moreso their decorative one. The toliets are small. The wc cubicle a place, methinks, for private pissing or semi-public puking, to judge from *their* tiles. For any other function one would be wary of the prospect of infection of one sort or another. Back to the stage, under the starlit folds of tented ceiling, and enter a black-clad woman, lugging a double bass. Expectant chatter. Una, Ulla U-something. Whatever her U-value, she does wonders with a double bass; even a wee jazzy improvisation while mister futurepilot sah smiles broadly, wearing shades. What a lovely fellow. He's even supporting a campaign to restore the boat that paddles on Glasgow's resevoir, which is called Katrin. (oops.. wrong bit of water: Loch Lomond, I should have said. The boat that plys Katrin is another).This boat is called the *Maid of the Loch*. http://www.maidoftheloch.co.uk/ The happy Clyde coast collective play their new *99pee* single 'the only thing to make you move is the beat of the drum' which is hardly the point, since the previous track contained a far more moving quality, in the motional rather than emotional sense: a motion picture quality, even, set in the epic Indian sub-continent. A vocalist, who seems to be on a fashion tip fron J-Que? out of Jamiro-Kwhy? has trained in from Glasgow due to the record company Geographic's shortage of air miles. With their latest single, I envisage the funds to hire one of those comfy buses that have the blacked-out windows. I saw Texas in one outside the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh years ago, not that I wish our Pilot an MOR future. Downstairs someone rather excitedly informs me that a couple of members of the Pastels are walking by. My informant is from northern Sweden, and passionate about Glasgow pop. He engages fluently in conversation about the meaning of life too, which I always find handy for chatter over a pint. I miss the train home, and get a hotel room. Which allows me to re-sample some Edinburgh nightlife: City Cafe and La Belle Angele. And full of them it is too. I'm glad I wore my white corduroys for, in here, they glow like the light off an oxy-acetylene torch. The train on the way home. Dreamily perusing the *Observer* to the tune of an accordion-heavy track by Bridget Storm. A few seats in front, a girl gazes out of the window, repeatedly drawing her fingertips through the dark roots of her autumn-tinted hair. Ah.. could she have written this song... I meet a friendly dog on the way up the road. I'm one happy unit.

My friend wasn't listening and said "You're calling us twee!? You're the one who listens to Belle and Sebastian!". Oh, how I chortled. On another note, everyone (especially you British citizens) should check out this weeks www.tvgohome.com . It's possibly the best ever. Those with a low tollerance for gratuitous foul language should go there anyway. Erm... RAWK on... erm... or something. I have also purchased several albums... and had my dad purchase one for me. Low - Things we lost in the Fire, is quite good, though not quite as good as I'd been let to believe, too 'indie', rather than indie. Alices Restaurant was bought for me by my dad, and I'd recommend everyone gets the title track 'Alice's Restauraunt Massacree', because it's brilliant... even if 18:20 minutes of song will take a while to download! 3...6...9 seconds of light E.P. is brilliant, as is Modern Rock Song E.P to a lesser extent. I should have bought these ages ago, I know, but I try to span out my B&S purchases. I'll get legal man and FISHYCLAP quite soon, seeing as the new E.P. is out soon. Oh, and I got Nick Cave - From her to eternity... which is reall really ood and I'm not sure if I like it yet. Well, I think that's about it for padding. See everyone at the picnic... I'll be wearing my pig badge, as it's possibly the tweest thing I own.

Message-ID: <20010429170143.11537.qmail@web5301.mail.yahoo.com> Someone said something like: it's getting exciting, innit? I disagree. Mind you, Miller might be mildly aroused to know that LOGAN'S RUN was on TV this afternoon. Michael York - whatever happened to him, and others of his ilk, if ilk there was? I mean, they can't *all* have turned into Nick Dastoor - and my editor's fave Jenny Agutter. I hope my editor saw it, just for the Jenny Agutter bits. Segments. Peter Ustinov featured too, quoting Eliot on cats in a half-minded American accent. Surely the geezer Miller knows what I'm on about. B&S CONTENT Rumours circulated that Lloyd Cole was spotted in a bar in Glasgow last week. But it was only Stuart Murdoch. Bah. >>> That Salman Rushdie book is over 600 pages long! They all are, aren't they, these days? I can sympathize. Oh, I can sympathize. >>> I think the 2.50 booking fee is a bit excessive, you could probably buy quite a bit of land for 2.50 in Dunoon. You can add nothing to that. I mean, there's nothing to add. >>> That line-up is the most excruciating pile of toss I've ever seen. I have missed this kind of talk, as delivered by a real pro (celebrity). >>> Aberdeen's a bit rough It's funny you should say that. I was there the other day and was struck by the swanky bouncers. It took me a while to pick myself up and recover from the blow. >>> Someone asked which publication / journal PF works for. He's probably too modest to mention it, but he's a junior reporter for Meryl Streep Monthly. Plus Ladies' Day also too. Don't forget Ladies' Day. >>> such luminaries as Jonzi D and Stevie T. Did you know that the former borrowed his 'tag' style off the latter? >>> I don't know if it's still available. It is to me. I have to read it every morning, to reassure myself that that Rod Stewart line hasn't changed overnight. >>> The Peacock Johnson promotional extravaganza made me laugh, I suppose you had to be there to appreciate its full crapness. I think you are 'on the money', as a long-lost Exeterian would say. >>> A group that's quite good, I think, is The Squeeze. Great lyrics, catchy melodies. I agree. I love The Squeeze. A film that's quite good is The Sting. Did I mention Logan's Run yet? It sure is getting exciting round here. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

These are details I posted on the Jeepster meet up board. They aren't grate directions because I'm not good at things like that. Please contact me if you're lost because i want to help lots, I like helping. Please all come along, the more people the less shyness. Here is what it says on the meet up board: Well, my exam is finally over and i can dedicate time to nice things. The picnic will be on Saturday May 5th at 2pm in York next to the university. That bit you already knew, but i just thought I'd remind you. The new details follow: I will assume that most will arrive by train or possibly by bus. Trains run to york from everywhere in the world like Basingstoke and Bulgaria, so it should be easy to get that far! There are buses from Leeds and Selby and several other places round about. Once at the station, take a number 4 or 5 bus to the university, they run every 15 minutes. The picnic will be held opposite Derwent College on a nice field with a church and many daisies. The bus stop you want to get off at is the last of three that are on University Road. When the bus starts going downhill along a very straight road you are at the university. It will stop at once near the top, once half way down, then go over a roundabout and stop again. This is where you get off. It's quite hard to explain. On the left is a field, in the middle of the road is a central reservation and nearby is a courtyard with what looks like four small blocks of flats. If you get off at the wrong stop it's only a short walk, just ask somebody how to get to Derwent College, or better still, ask someone on the bus which is the stop outside Derwent College. I will be there wearing a bus t-shirt and I will have my phone if you get lost. 07730074650 is my number. Because York has been a lake for the past 6 months you might want something to sit on to protect your bum from wetness. Food is essential, as is alcohol if you are of such a disposition. You can bring guitars and tapes of course and anything else which will entertain the masses. If it rains we will go to The Charles down the road. If you need anymore details e-mail me, chris.jones at icky-poo.co.uk, or phone me. I will stand by the bus stop and wave lots every time a bus comes past! Chris Jones. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

It was twenty-nine minutes long, and it was about this little kid named Tommy who wanted to become a waiter. He goes out to Hollywood and doesn't have any success for three years but he finally gets hired as a waiter at a fancy restaurant for movie stars. The last two minutes consist of a big-time director offering Tommy billions of dollars to be the star of his new movie but Tommy turning down the offer saying "Thank you, sir, but no thank you. You see, I'm a waiter." Yes, I wasted twenty-nine minutes of my life watching this stupid film. I must admit it was rather entertaining, though... I thought it was poking fun at all those materialists who go out to Hollywood not for the art (although there is none in Hollywood) but for the money and fame. Today has been a rather fulfilling day. I am done with more than half of my work for Monday, I listened to Steve Miller Band for a while, then listened to Belle and Sebastian. I listened to the Lazy Line Painter Jane EP. I listened to the first track dozens of times. It was fun. I also ordered chicken fried rice for lunch and am still eating it at 4:54 P.M. I am a slow eater. For those of you who are kind enough to read my posts, you know that I have been eyeing a new creature... named Will. He lent me a Steve Miller Band CD on Saturday morning and wrote me a little note along with it... It was a very sweet act on his part. He signed it "have fun, will". He has messy handwriting and writes in all caps. I feel like a shy little lazy being today. I am usually very energetic and jumping off of walls. I think this may have something to do with all the Belle and Sebastian I've been listening to lately. This has gotten a lot longer than I expected it to. I think that's a cue for me to stop writing. Whine whine. I want to meet more people who love Belle and Sebastian...

Popping my head over the big lurkers wall for a moment with a cunning plan... Jennifer Fang, >was wondering if anyone could recommend any cheap >places to stay, good museums, record stores, pubs and >whatnot ...[in Glasgow and London] And co-incidentally, I was thinking today about how many other people had the same problem. So, independently and of my on volition, I decided to make a web page type thingy for just that porpoise. I live in Glasgow, you see, and, rather than think that gives me the divine right to foist my tastes on all visitors, I'm appealing for contributions (and yes, I know about the 13th note ;-) So if anyone wants to mail me their Favourite Places To Go / Things To Do in Glasgow, I'll stick 'em all onto the web page, and, if you're *really* lucky (and I work fast enough!) It'll be blindingly good by the time the gigs are here! I'll let the list know the address once I actually write something! I don't know anything about London (apart from "The George, Lovely Little Boozer" - Tim Hopkins) so someone else can sort that out! Thanks, if you want them.

Maybe it's because I was hiding in my own shadows and the darkness of my corroding mind. Maybe it was because left everything for a while, hoping I would forget names and faces. But in solitude, names and faces become clearer. All brilliant clear and, rubbish dreams and hopes that people fill your head with and then laugh as you fall apart. Stained memories of betrayal that come even clearer. Come and stay until the events themselves become muddled and faded until all you remember is the biting hurt and crippled chest and falling to the ground. People have been talking of B & S covers. Metallica, Iron Maiden, perhaps. Ha ha. Maybe in another place. But I could hear them covering Tim Buckley's "Once I Was..." Perhaps in another place, another time. But not now.

I dont suppose you happen to be a synaesthete do you? Were you being serious when you said B&S taste like soil, please say yes? Im gonna take this opportunity to make a massive confession to you all and scare the pants off of you. and i swear by my snails grave that this is true: When i was 14 i got hit by a big car and as a result i lost my sense of smell due to the nerve endings being singed. Since then many many strange things have happened to me. I get smells for emotion, music, colour, people and places. Its a rare form of Synaesthesia and there are many neurologists after my blood. i wont go into great detail cause i dont wanna scare you all but certain bands and albums have certain smells. the charlatans are musky and woody whereas underworld are a beautifully distinctive perfume and b&s are kind of fresh and autumnal. Does anyone else have similar experiences? i hope mark wasnt joking, that would be fab. hannah +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

(just dont sneeze, cause i'm pretty sure that i shouldnt get any germs in there). all this talk of picnics and synaesthesia and lovely belle & sebastian has made me just a wrecked tangle of emotion. right now i'm listening to my local radio station and they are playing a horribly loud version of joy divisions "warsaw" by some bad band. BUT i did call in to request some of our favourite bands tunes...they said they would work something in. i went and saw gary numan play last night. boy has he changed. very black and gothik. very harsh and abrasive, very unbecoming. anyway, i have to do this working thing some more for a little while. i'll be sure to think out my posting better tomorrow or whenever i next decide to speak. oh wow! they're playing an old robert johnson song now! i think its called "me and devil".............caleb ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

X-fm played Legal Man as I was driving home from work... I was just passing Virginia Water and it was looking all verdent and spring like in the afternoon Surrey sun and then those unmistakable guitar notes sounded... it couldn't have been much more perfect. I bought a biography of Nick Drake on Saturday and spent the whole weekend lazing round and playing his albums and being a bit melancholy. Then just before I went to bed I played 'From the Morning' over and over and it was really quite uplifting... I think it's a good time for spring songs. Hope it stays that way for next Saturday. I'll see you London lot up Primrose Hill (not far from where ND stayed apparently). Caleb mentioned Warsaw too, all be it a rather nasty pasty sounding cover, that's one of my fave JD tracks. I think I'd better find some more upbeat roll models as a caveat to Nick and Ian Curtis though...
