Message-ID: <20010701103939.63255.qmail@web13803.mail.yahoo.com> Dearest Sinistereenies, I apologise for my prolonged absence from your beautiful grassy knoll. Many people have been swept aside from the top by the nasty gales, but rest assured, i will be appeasing you all very soon. My sole reason for slovenly posting and even more slovenly unfulfilled promises is the eternal examination of my brain (and possibly the soul, i don't know how exams work...) Especially Mr Mikkelsen, who will be recompensed with more and more CD's than he can possibly imagine. The rest will be reimbursed similarly. CARDIFF IS ANYONE GOING??? HELLO? ECHO! (Echo! echo! ec..!) it seems that but 2 of the sinister collective dare enter the rainy isle that is Wales. Does it always rain when you go? i have never seen a less sunny country. Off the point. I will be in the green "monkey" cardigan. anyone who wants a jelly bean can gladly have one. I will, of course, be b**tlegging, since that's the naughty scamp i am. Thus, my associates will be issued forth one of those too, plus any other well-spoken nice 1500 of you. I was going to talk about another band, but my comparatively insignificant knowledge of music means i have to sit humbly in your shadow. Are the Strokes really that good? Lots of positive feedback... And camera obscura material doesn't extend this far South. SOUTH play in Bristol on wednesday! Yippee! I leave you now. 15 minutes of non-fame are over.

"Po_t_y P_r__t" "I don't any portly pirates. This is Portsmouth not Penzance" "Just let us in you cloth-eared muppet! And get your intercom fixed." Pause for stair climbing which is odd because I thought he could fly. "That's better. Got any crackers? Oooh! Hollyoaks - fantastic! You look knackered by the way." "Yeah. Been up to London - saw B&S at the RAH. They played an absolute blinder but I'm not gonna go into it here since I'll probably write a more detailed review on my website http://nicerspace.tripod.com when I can be arsed to get around to it. There's bound to be loads of reviews on Sinister anyway." "Urgh! You're on that list of saddos? S'pose you all had a bit of a picnic. You do that sort of thing don't you." "Oooh yeah. I saw Struan playing football and everything. I'd better say hiya to everyone like Carsmile, Ken, Ailsa, Honey, Linda, Carey, Vel, Sam, Hannah & loads of others I've forgotten. And I'll send huuuuge thanks and massive props to Starry and Lixi for sofas and Weetabix and to Phin for Saturday's entertainment. Hope he's feeling OK." "Sounds like a bundle of fun. Is that the kettle boiling?" "You character's changed the last post." "That's 'cos you project too much in your writing and then treat it like some big literary joke. Bet you read that Dave Eggers book with a huge grin on your face while he went 'Look at me! I'm so tragic and talented!' for 300 or so pages didn't you?" "Well..." "Thought so. Hurry up with that tea will you. You'll probably want a poem too. Bet it'll be some unreadable beat shite that you liked when you were a student." "Yeah!" "Ginsberg then?" "Cool!" "Wanker."

Message-ID: Ooh, everyone seems to be having picnics lately. And a few Sinister people have decided that it's time for an Edinburgh Picnic again. Instead of Just Another Picnic, though, we've decided to do things a little differently. So, Saturday July 28th 2001 will be the day of the Edinburgh Sinister Beach Barbecue! We'll meet up in Edinburgh in the early afternoon, and take a wee train ride down to the lovely seaside resort of North Berwick. There's a wonderful sandy beach where we can sit and barbecue things and eat then and get drunk, a few pubs where we can go if it rains, and in the evening we can all just get on the train back to Edinburgh and get drunk some more. You can even paddle and build sand castles if you want to. Lots of absolutely grate people from #sinister have already promised to come, so if you're interested, email me and let me know. I'll post more details in a couple of weeks when we're a bit more organised. See you soon, gneissy (who isn't the *only* conspirer organising this, honest) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: Hello and thanks to everyone I saw (again and for the first time) at the picnics and gigs over the w/end. Needless to say a fab time was had by all, but I'll leave detailed accounts to those with more eloquence and accurate set lists etc. Robster, you'll be pleased to know Fin did make it to the coach in the end, and we did make it back in time for Camera Obscura, despite getting a taxi to the *wrong* place... doh! (btw I did make it back for my train after leaving the gig early - just! I'll be supremely jealous if you all stayed a dancin' with celebs till the wee small hours.) Thanks for the poem, rather nice. I'm glad you sent the parrot on to Ken - he needs something else to sit on his shoulder now he's had all his hair lopped off. I've said this sort of thing before, but dashing through Liverpool St. station on my way home I was greeted by two listees who were stood at RAH with me (sorry names escape me) who were on their way home from Mardi Gras, and then another (I am really bad with names) whom I've met up in Sheffield a few times on her way rather belatedly to the Spitz... all purely by coincidence... *that*'s what I like about Sinister. Someone was asking about the first support act at RAH, "Jonny 7" I think they called themselves. Well, Cabbage and I (and a couple of others) were similarly enticed in by their comedy rendition of Legal Man, and after we managed to drag Cabbage away fom the usher from Barnsley who he was chatting up :), we were stood just a few rows back and we struggled to make out who they were through the comedy wigs and stuck on porn-star moustaches. Cabbaged reckoned the guy on bongos was from V-Twin, but beyond that I'm at a loss. Ah well, best consign (sp?) the weekend to memory and get ready for the reality of work again tomorrow. See y'all again soon.

The bank machine gave me a very friendly message saying "Your request has been denied by your bank" when I tried to take out cash, which was nice. Of course, I was in the middle of London then (post-RAH) and had no money to get home. A very kind sinister person, after I busked with my freeform version of Wonderwall by Oasis, lent me 15 quid for a train across the ocean, um I meant the bit of grass in between London and Milton Keynes, so I'm home again and possibly not going out for a while before I find some way of replenishing the bank account, and I still owe another kind sinister person money for the RAH ticket itself arrrgh. RAH! tho, was like well good, on the top of RAH there was even a curtain thing with a logo on it which says... "RAH!", on it (I think it was without an exclamation mark tho). Which was funny, slightly lower than that all around are the stalls where people sit really high up. By the end of the evening a lot of them decided to stand up there anyway and dance, I feared for their safety cos I believe when they built the Royal Albert Hall they didn't anticipate people to want to dance up there so they didn't put in any barriers, and the people there dancing look quite drunk. Hmmmmm Monica Queen was there again for a Lazy Line Painter Jane encore and she was great and was live and kicking and boxing. The John Peel session was great, after a very kind sinister person lent it to me, and Sturan's girl probably does have a miraculous technique in order to make him to churn out this fountain of love, ahem, that's a metaphor for a good tune, of course. The pre- and post-RAH picnics were great fun too, drinking first vodka and Red Bull and then cheap wine, and playing footie in Greenwich and won woohoo, and getting expert babysitting tips from fellow sinisters, if I have a brother I will now know exactly how to look after him hehe :-). Then watched Camera Obscura at the Spitz and they were great, they played 80s Fan which was a great song so we celebrated at the end by doing "80's dancing" moves which involved pretending to hold a cigarette and chewing a piece of gum and bopping your head. I hope to see more list mummy dancing soon! Oh the poetry parrot has flown into my window, and started singing something about feeling happy for a day in 1975, scared the shit out of me but I'm okay now after brutalising it and shoved it in a cage, before you call the RSPB, I didn't really brutalise the parrot, I love birds, they taste lovely. Really I didn't do anything bad to it, apart from tying a string to its leg and then yanked it backwards, just so that I can tell people I just pulled a bird. Centre of Town by Karen E Norman ============================ The centre of this town really sucks It's concrete and smelly and full of muck yuck, just my luck, I stepped over a patch and now it's stuck The centre of this town really sucks it's just a load of roads and full of trucks cluck, the driver shrugs as one hits you like a hockey puck The centre of this town really sucks it's bland and it's dull and full of shmucks you duck, as stones are chucked they're starting a riot and running amuck. A stone is thrown towards the front of Starbucks as the anarchists got infiltrated by a ruck of thugs The town burns, but you don't quite give a fuck cos the centre of this town really sucks The parrot after I recited this poem to him had realised that Milton Keynes really sucks, and flew up the M1 to Leicester towards miss Madeleine McNeil. Poems and Red Bulls Ken * it probably wasn't the 10,000th can exactly but it was close, and it was kindly bought by another lovely sinister person. I am such a scrounger. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

While all the rest of you were dancing like loons in London Town, a few of us met in the park and sedately ate sandwiches and drank ribena. In attendence were James, John, Tom, Danny, Helen, myself and two friends of Tom's (names forgotten, sorry). I felt terrible, having spent Saturday night drinking all sorts of rubbish and dancing to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack at a friend's barbeque. I was so drunk at the barbeque I even ended up drinking some dodgy liquor someone bought back from their holidays. Sometimes I am just so disappointed in myself. The picnic, after an awkward (we all got lost) and sticky (i kept dropping my fizzy drink and spraying it everywhere) start, was lovely. We watched the skate kids skating and the fitba kids playing fitba and Helen, Danny and James playing frisbee while I sat quietly and tried not to make any sudden movements. Then James produced some beer and even though my first thoughts were 'Urg, alcohol. How horrible', I soon got back into the swing of things and perked up. I'm not one to give in easily. I burbled quite a lot of nonsense, weebled off to the nasty toilets and said a cheery hello to a fellow boozer. We discussed our mission to Birmingham and looked at John's colourful map, and I got sidetracked by the amount of pubs near the Alexandra theatre. Goodness, there's alcohol everywhere these days. The only thing that would have made the picnic any better would have been the attendence of Mr Ken Chu, Sir, Geek God and all round Good Bloke. But as he sent me a parrot I'm sure I'll find it in my heart to forgive him. Nuff respec to the Leicester Massive. I'm sure some of us will bring you some gritty reportage of the Brum gig, too. Love Madeleine xxx And hooray to John for coming to join us in #sinister. It's ever so nice in there. _________________________________________________________________________ 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.

Girl power-my arse! im not going to go into the whole band thing coz you all know they're good whether you've seen em live or not. the crowd were very interesting, um to the front of me was a very hard looking guy who was by himself. he was having a grate time and i wondered whether he was a closet fan who had told his mates he was going somewhere a lot harder. behind sam were an interesting couple who seemed to be shagging the daylights out of each other. nothing discreet just simple rutting and moaning, how very sweet. I couldnt help but stare in amazement, they were at it for quite a while you know. Female B&S fans are very attractive arn't they, they all have cute little noses, cool dresses and have an amazing ability to still look attractive with sweat dripping down them. And the dancing, well,if electricity could be generated by dancing, we would have created enough for the whole of britain, its true you know. I feel a bit unsettled now. did any one else feel slightly wrong on sunday. i know i did and i wasnt all that sure why? hello to everyone there, ken, steve, big stu, a bloke called sam, jo, girl in hat, bloke in cardigan, bla bla bla. love hannah +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <03754DDCC645D311AA6700805F854E4302775535@lotus.ntu.ac.uk> Well quite a bit has been said about the last week's various shenanigans. But sod it, I'm going to add to it with my tuppenceworth. Well, actually it's quite long, maybe it's about threepence worth... SCARBOROUGH: Oh my God. Fabulous, fantastic, mind-blowing, awe-inspiring. But enough about my dancing already, what about the gig? Various people had picnics on the beach beforehand. Well actually, there were about 5 separate mini-picnics going on at once, so if you were at one of the other ones, hello. And we did try writing "Twee Roolz" in the sand, but it didn't work very well. The Futurist Theatre is literally over the road from the beach, and is one of those places which advertises shows and films above the doors. So the sign actually said "Tonight - Belle and Sebastian. Tomorrow - Get Over It"... Normally, I wouldn't expect a good atmosphere in an all-seated venue; but hey, this is Yorkshire now. After a storming Pastie to start with, before playing Too Much Love, Stuart asked if anyone wanted to come down the front and dance; naturally, about a hundred of us charged down the aisles, and tried to copy Stuart's pixie dancing. The management got a bit upset about fire risks (if it's a fire risk to have people in the aisles during songs, how the hell are you supposed to get out of the building in a fire?), so we all got sent back to our seats, and just danced there instead (so apologies to whoever was sitting behind me and Amy! Still, it serves you right for not getting up and dancing yourselves...). And by the end when they finished with Women's Realm followed by Legal Man (complete with about 500 people on percussion), we all just charged the stage. One ambition realised then - we actually managed to get a moshpit going at a B&S gig! And a seated one at that... For the cover version slot in the middle, Stuart came out into the audience to ask what we wanted. I did ask him for Scarborough Fair, but he said if they played that, there was a man at the back with a rifle who would shoot them for unoriginality... So they settled on Summer Holiday, mainly because Stevie played the opening chords just before asking what anyone wanted to hear... The band really seemed to be enjoying themselves, even when Stuart forgot the words to Dylan In The Movies (again!); and with Stevie's voice in a very fragile state, I'm sure he wasn't helped by having Stuart go down on one knee in front of him to put him off during Wrong Girl... Stuart finished the gig with the words "For a Tuesday night in Scarborough, you lot are fucking amazing", and we all felt exactly the same about them. After the gig finished, and a brief sojourn to a pub (during karaoke night, never a good plan...) we joined the party on the beach, attempted and failed to throw a frisbee in a straight line, had a wrestling match, spoke to various interesting people, dug ourselves deep holes in the sand to try to get down to the same height as Katrina, and tried to figure out how we can afford to get to Rio... So hellos to Jon and Liz who came in my car, and a big hello to the delightful Amy who was sitting next to me. PRESTON: I suppose after such a wonderful evening the day before, this was always going to be a bit of a disappointment. That's not to say that they weren't very good - just not quite as mind-blowing. It may have been partly due to the band's hangovers, but it was more that the atmosphere wasn't as friendly - more locals, more neds, less real fans. And there's absolutely nothing the band can do about that. It sounds like a real indie-snob thing to say, but a gig's just not as enjoyable when there's 3 or 4 blokes standing next to you with a bottle of vodka persistently singing along to the wrong bloody song. If they had taken a long walk off Scarborough pier, everyone would have been happier. As for the band, Isobel had her hair in pigtails, which was a relief because the previous night she had looked alarmingly similar to Sarah. Richard was the centre of attention - he was really nervous because he'd always wanted to play Preston Guild Hall (admittedly he wanted to play in the snooker tournament there, which may excuse the jumper he was wearing). Quite why he always plays the drums with a face like he's giving birth is a mystery. Sarah's parents were there (she was chatting to them in the bar beforehand), so Stuart didn't sing the last few lines of Arab Strap. Aah, bless. Cover versions were the theme from BBC's Snooker coverage (played by Mick on the guitar, because Stevie didn't know it) and a Rolling Stones number which I can't remember the title of, sorry (I think he said it was off Sticky Fingers) which coincidentally was the first song played over the PA after the band left the stage. Stuart did try inviting someone onto the stage to dance, but when the bloke tried, a bouncer leapt out of nowhere and carried him off, much to the band's annoyance. Sightings of Chris and Sarah in the bar afterwards, as well as more old-school Sinister types than you could shake a stick at. LONDON: When I turned up at the pre-gig picnic, there was already a football game going on featuring Stuart M and Wee Chris, amongst others. And more to the point, there was lots of drinking going on (well, Ailsa was there, what do you expect?). We all went on a 5 mile hike to find a pub, had one drink, and then came back again, because Honey and Honeyetta had turned up, amongst others. Then came the moment of truth - entering RAH. I spent the next hour alternating between oh-my-god-i'm-in-the-Royal-Albert-Hall and oh-my-god-the-drinks-are-expensive-in-here. I ended up about 5 rows back, fighting off annoying Australian women, and looking round thinking oh-my-god-i'm-in-the-Royal-Albert-Hall. Needless to say, the gig was fabulous, almost up to the standard of Scarborough. At half-time, two blokes with microphones and comedy wigs on (I think one of them might have been Neil Robertson, but I was too far away to see), who were in a box at the back, started slagging off the band in a Muppets style (after later discussions, we think the two old blokes in the Muppets were called Waldorf and Statler?), and saying that the singer was rubbish, anyone could do better. So this was Stuart's cue to head off the stage round towards their box, where he asked if anyone from the audience had ever wanted to sing at the Royal Albert Hall; and he plucked three Sinister-types from their seats and brought them to the stage. After a few bars of The Final Countdown, Lorraine (and later Stuart as well) gave a stunning rendition of The State That I Am In. The setlist followed much the same as before, with just the three new songs; Magic Of A Kind Word and My Girl's Got Miraculous Technique in the first half and I Love My Car (described by Stuart in Scarborough as a Dexy's Midnight Runners sounding song) in the second half. After Legal Man (which sounds infinitely better live), the band left the stage, and the Muppets at the back started talking again; along the lines of "Boo", Hiss", "That Was Rubbish", "Actually it wasn't that bad", "There were parts of it I quite liked", "It was good", "It was great", "More!", "Encore!". At which point, the band re-emerged, complete with Monica Queen (who is much smaller than I imagined for someone with so strong a voice, and who spent most of the song flinging her arms behind her back like Shirley Bassey), singing LLPJ. Then the finished with a cover of Everyday People, which they had started the set with in Preston. At this point I would like to apologise to anyone who was behind me (as always!), to David Moore for my voice intruding onto his tape, to whoever's foot I landed on when I was dancing, to Archel for taking the piss out of her new haircut, to the people camping at the side of the hall queueing up for Cliff Richard tickets for laughing at them behind their backs, and to anyone who tried to speak to me afterwards because I was completely incoherent and babbling with excitement. Saturday saw a second picnic happening on top of a bloody big hill in Greenwich. I claim full credit for scoring the white shirts' first goal, and no credit at all for the fact that we still lost. Lorraine made us very jealous by talking about the after-show party back at the band's hotel, and Starry Sarah spent the afternoon torturing innocent young boys. Then we all trooped off to the DLR to get to the Camera Obscura gig at the Spitz. The support band sounded like Ride, which is not a good thing. But the main attraction were very impressive - I've not heard them before, but I was convinced to try and track down some of their material. There then followed dancing and drinking until the wee small hours, and the startling realisation of just how similar Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood's song Summer Wine is to the verse of Dog On Wheels - let's hope their lawyers don't find out, I wouldn't fancy taking on any of Frank Sinatra's connections. Those in attendance included (in random order, and forgetting many more than I remember) Carsmile Steve, Starry Sarah, Cresida, Ailsa, Honey, Honeyetta, Big Gay Mark, Miss Vicky, Lixi, Liz Daplyn, Martin, Wee Chris Geddes, Stevie Jackson, and Stuart Murdoch. And probably lots of other people who decided to avoid me because I spent the whole weekend going on about The Whitlams and how great Scarborough was. Fair enough really. Katrina asked me on the beach if my faith in B&S had been restored; I think it probably had been by the new EP (I don't care what anyone else thinks, I believe those three songs are as good as anything they've ever done), but they've certainly never been better live, and Scarborough was as good as any gig I've been to in my life. See you all in Birmingham tonight then...

Message-ID: Hello you lovely gig and picnic go-oers. Having only just floated beneath the cloud that's numbered nine I thought I'd drop a quick (yet fully 15-minuted) post to ask a very big favour. Being that I was lucky enough to sing with B&S on Friday night, you probably all think I've had more than my fair share of good fortune - and you'd be right - but since nobody outside the RAH or the list will believe me, I'm desperately seeking a photo of the spectacle that was me, Joe and Florence poncing around the stage. If anyone has one, I'd be moved to tears if you'd email me off the list to arrange me having a copy or two made. Don't worry if you took one that was just a random shot with my ankle in it or simply Joe's beflared bottom - we'll still accept it gratefully. I'm not sure what I can offer in return, but it's always worth invoicing me and seeing what happens. To everyone who said nice things to us after the gig, at the picnic, and on posts, thank you. We were proud to represent the best bluddy fan list that ever existed. It was an honour in every way.

The B & S concert was, as mentioned earlier, magical. It was so great. I had never seen them live before and it was fantastic. Anyway, just wanted to say hi to all on the Greenwich picnic on Saturday. You were all so nice and kind and really did you best to make us (me and my friend Viktor) feel welcome. You were so nice. Thank you. And the soccer was fun :-) The Strange Fruit evening at the Spitz was great too. They played so much great music and quite a few B & S songs too. And Camera Obscura and Tacoma Radar were really great. Anyway, just wanted to thank all of you at the picnic. Hope to see you again some time. ///Alexander +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I started to make a post but I clicked the wrong thing and deleted it. Oops! Sweet little bumble bee.. Oh, loved ones. Not long ago I decided it was time to leave the castle and venture out upon the world. Yes, I miss the jewelry, the hot pieces of ass serving me "strawberries", and the chocolate toast and pancakes. However, I am a growing princess; I need my independence, and it was just not to be found with mother and father constantly dressing me in oppressive evening wear and dragging me off for supper with some silly royals. Besides, what satisfaction can I gain from my possessions if they are not truly my own? Not much, I must say! So, late one night I began silently slipping my most essential belongings (clothes, candy, cookies) into our large, white carriage. It took nearly an hour! Oh, was I tired! I wrote a simple note and left it in front of my beloved parents door: "Yo! Mama! Papa! I be getting outta dis muthafucka. Wazzah! Eat my sparkles, biznatches!" And I left! I met up with my traveling companion (the lovely Miss Ree Elia) outside of the castle gates, hopped in the carriage, and toodled! We journeyed for nearly half an hour before finding a suitable (and affordable-- my purse was stuffed with cookies and candy, not money!) living space in the nearby kingdom of Ann Arbor. Well, let's hasten the story: we settled, we ate, we finally got internet access. Hurrah! And it's not just any internet access-- it's OUR internet access! No help from Mum or Pa! I decided I've had enough time to settle in, that it's time for me to settle back into life the best I can. The first thing on my settling agenda? Why Sinister, of course! I missed you little bumpkins! Of course, you didn't seem to miss me! Thank you for ignoring my birthday! Kiss it, huh! Except the lovely Miss Millkmaid Llew who is just always so beautifully lovely and fine, Mwah! Oh, well, now! There are other reasons I'm writing you, you know! The other day I was walking down the street and I met our own Stuart Murdoch! I asked him, "What brings you to Michigan?" He replied, "Aye, I be livin' here, mate." To which I answered, "huh?" "Aye, I be the vicious pirate Blackhook Barnaclehead!" IT WASN'T STUART!! IT WAS A PIRATE!! Quickly I reached into my purse and pulled out my EVENING GOWN +3 PIRATES!! and put it on even though it squishes my bosom! "HA! Try to get me now, pirate!" He lunged; I easily swung away, simultaneously drawing my Broad Sword +1. I offered a blow in return, but no! I rolled a 2! Critical miss, I dropped my sword! "ARRRGHGHG I GOTS YE NOW!!!" screamed the pirate! He picked up my sword and ate it!! How could he! The nerve! It was a gift at a cocktail party, the finest +1 Broad Sword I've ever seen!! Well, he came at me again, but I was having None Of It. I threw my +17 ruby slipper at him and landed a solid hit on his ear. He died! So anyway, I thought I met stuart but I didn't really. Oh! One other thing I meant to tell you guys!! It is this: WORD SEARCH!!!!

Someone In The Know should enlighten us all. Where is 96 when you really need him? Come on Cookie, fill us in. "TURN THAT ORGAN UP" Hmmmmm, what hasn't been said already on the subject of the RAH gig? It didn't impress as much as Saturday in Glasgow, but I know that is my fault & in now way the band's. I had to rush to Kensington from an upsetting day at work centred on going to say farewell to the 3 staff I had had to make redundant. I was gabbling on about writing them excellent references (I *can* write good references - I made a bloke cry once with what I said about him. He *was* a lovely feller though) & how they could ring me if they had a problem, & there they were being really sweet telling me to look after myself & not work too hard! They don't have a job at all today! Anyway, where was I? Therefore I didn't really get into it until about halfway through. The latter part of the setlist ran thus: The Final Countdown (Europe cover - instrumental) The State I Am In Simple Things The Boy With The Arab Strap We Rule The School Family Tree Mayfly I Love My Car The Wrong Girl Woman's Realm Legal Man Lazy Line Painter Jane Everyday People (Arrested Development cover) What else can I remember that hasn't been covered already? I think Mick trod on Isobel's toe at one point & then had problems with his flugelhorn during one number (blocked?) He also played piano on one song towards the end. Isobel's Dylan print dress/short cardie ensemble was cute. She did look very hot & bothered & had to remove the cardigan towards the end of the set. Well done to Lorraine, Florence & Dancing Boyfriend for their performance, for not freezing when they looked up to see 3,000 people looking back at them & to Florence for shouting "Sinister!" a couple of lines into the song. Statler & Waldorf from The Muppets were played by Andy Symington & his flatmate Sean. Stuart was cross the Royal Box was empty & said they could have done a wee Sex Pistols song for its occupants. Shame, I would have loved to hear him sneer "We mean it, maaan" Richard was enclosed in a little greenhouse. I can never see the labour pains expressions as his face is always hidden by a cymbal from the right of the stage. Sarah plays the recorder with one hand during TBWTAS. Belfast Bob plays the bass really hard: you can tell its him playing without looking by that crunching sound. Well done also to the RAH's security. I never had to show my ticket to anyone: its probably still in my wallet. And we could take photos! (Or at least Vicky did) I hope they come out alright. Big Stu (or should we call you Loud?) - they played The Stones' "Dead Flowers" after the gig finished on Saturday: was that the one from Preston? Good song. I spent a long time wondering whatever got me into country music in the first place but remembered recently that it was the Keef/Gram link-up. BTW Neil, I don't know what *tape* Stu was on about. Really. PICNIC IN THE PARK Good idea to sit where you can enjoy the view (albeit more crowded than in Turner's day) rather than in the Café garden behind the hedge. Saturday's Picnic Mum is very clever (& organised: even bringing black bags for the rubbish. A well brought-up girl) Honey reckoned the two old ladies sitting on the bench behind us that she & Vel chatted up were the stars of the event, but I think Lixi's brother Phin might have been (before he keeled over). Shame on anyone who encouraged him to drink too much for their own amusement. The Pinefox & le Troussé debated music in masculine and feminine terms but P F demanded fresh words. Later in The Spitz Katrina said she always thought The Pinefox was a woman and Joe was pleased. Then he became a basket of cobras when the DJ played The Smiths playing "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others". It wasn't the moment to ask him for his views on the decline in the standard of Morrissey's lyrics that that track was supposed to epitomise. "WHAT IS THIS SONG ABOUT?" I thought Camera Obscura played an excellent set & the new songs sound good, boding well for the album. Can't wait to hear the one that Gav sings in the style of Stephen Pastel on record. Jim Purple Trousers made me dance! And to bloody Legal Man as well. Good thing I wasn't wearing killer shoes :) LISTCRUSH Props to the upright & true Carsmile Steve for reminding us of the correct way of using the listcrush system: i.e. give your crush on the basis of well-written posts, so as to maintain an excellent standard, rather then just to crush on those who you want to, er, who you fancy. PEACOCK MAN I stumbled into the Looper site recently & its changed again. Peacock Johnson is writing the next album with Evil Bob. There was mention of a Stuart David story appearing in Dazed & Confused: can anyone shed any more light on this, please? There's also a sweary message board at http://www.geometrid.co.uk/disc3_frm.htm . Peacock would apparently do Belle anytime. His thoughts on B&S: "I've heard a couple of Belle and Sebastian records in my time, and I'll be honest with you. As far as I'm concerned, son, there's fuck-all that could save them. Let alone make them anywhere near great. If you added some electronic noises all you'd end up with would be some limp-wristed ham-fisted teenage wank, but with some electronic noises added. " "Turn Looper into Belle and Sebastian you mean, son? Surely there's enough of that limp-wristed wank about for gay fellows like yourself to chug themselves off to?" Bless. I think that's more than enough for now.

I would never attempt to step in for Cookie when it comes to the Go-Betweens (or anything else, for that matter), but I finally downloaded the songs from the Peel session last night and well ... !!! First, thanks so much to David White for putting them up. The miracles of technology! The generosity of fans! No wonder Tom E always goes on about the community B & S has created. Did Nick D say it was like a rap? Well, I can see that. Stevie T mentioned the possibility of a C81 revival soon. Is this a part of it? PF talked about self-referentiality in songs. Leave it to Stuart to sing about songs he could bring home to his mum and dad. Influences left open like this - and then there he was, somehow, out of all that was good before him. And, finally, to hear his speaking voice! Stuart should really do a duet with John McKeown. In that voice! Or with Bjork, in his other voice! The other songs are really good, too. It was a great idea to have Sarah and Isobel sing together. That Sarah - she should sing more! '(My Girl's Got) Miraculous Technique' is a fine song. Like a hand closing 'round something beautiful and delicate. (Insert crass jokes here, and it will just become part of this joy!) Either way, you're losing it. So slow. And the line with "lazy eye"! It's weird that the magic came out again in a live performance. So you're never sure where you are with them. You'll wait forever, and you won't mind. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Picnic. Saturday It was the first time I'd met any other Leicester sinisters and a jolly nice bunch they were too. In order of appearance we were , Danny, Helen,Madeleine, John, Tom and two other's who I did'nt catch the names of, sorry, but were very friendly all the same. It was'nt any huge event but the frisbee flew and conversation flowed with subject's as varied as Honey being a bloke to Tom's amazing home-made flares to a mystical place called The haton beaver. and it did'nt rain. Sunday. I had three Email's that day asking for my spare ticket but I could'nt reply in time so.. Outside WH in Leicester station was the place, five pm was the time. Two excited people and one nervous one who nearly did'nt come where on our way to Birmingham via Narbrough to pick up Dale. got to Brum and found a cosy little pub amongst the towering grey blocks, within which we meet Stuart who Madie is disappointed to see is not the tallest man in the world that she was promised then realised I'd still got to find my ticket a home so a dash to the theatre entrance found lot's of possable new owners, upon advertising the tweepop ticket I was met with mumble's like (in brummy accent) "fook uf ya coont" In heinsight they were quite scary looking metalheads but it was worth a try I had a grate seat in the theatre about five from the front and there was even some people behind that I knew (Tom and party). so that was good. The songs I can remember were,in no particular order .... Boy with the arab strap Is it wicked not to care Johnathan David Hero, was the request My wandering days are over The model My girl's got miraculass? technique Mayfly The wrong girl, I think? Then at the end they played legal man and the place exploded into a mad dance floor but with seats in the way and the party pooper I sat next to would'ent let me past so I was confined to wiggling about in the seat and clapping alot rather than setting the aisle's alight with some funky moves (baby!) After a couple of after-show drinks in the best pub in Birmingham and finding the long route to the chippy we all sqeezed into Stuart's car and pointed it's nose toward's Leicseter. Some very interesting Canada/England comparasums came up on the back seat of Johns car. (that's not an inuendo,ok Dale) Like, over there a sun roof is a moon roof, explain!. Strip clubs,their customers,the art of stripping and job's with big responsability like writing speeches for the government Once back in Leicester Danny offer's me the use of his settee for the night. I was really grateful,ready for bed and quite sleepy. Quite sleepy.......... right up until I found out the room was also occupied by a snake! Oh well it could have been worse, at least it was'nt a spider cos then I would of slept on someone's Sierra in the street. But I did sleep quite well actually so thank's alot Danny. If you've read this FAR then you're an absolute STAR.

Message-ID: <3B41AE73.8030708@london.com> Thats the first time i've quoted from a song, thus abandoning my original and meanlingless home-made subjects.... aaah well i'm too tired... sorry and all that.... Also sorry because this is another one of those 'gig and picnic' emails so i'm sorry about that as well. especially to you lovely americans who are all being very patient... i 'spose you might not be being patient and might be unsubscribing as i type. so sorry about that as well.... i'll try and make it as interesting as possible for people who weren't there.... honest i will.... Everyone comfortable? right then i'll begin. *Piiiiicniiiiic* (the overly excited way of saying picnic) I spent about half an hour... maybe more... of my sunday walking round victoria park looking for twee people... i phoned james and he pointed me in the vague direction.... so i stumbled over in that direction and eventually found them... and then the fun *really* began... erm... ok well thats when i sat down and got my ribena out. i played a couple of chords right on a guitar.... and quite a few wrong... and then we chatted about lots of fun stuff... and madeleine got a text message from ken... who would have been there apparently... and we were all disappointed that he wasn't.... After the picnic i ran home (in the car) and worked out how to get onto #sinister which they were talking about at the picnic.... and it worked but i was a bit scared by it..... *Giiiiiiiiiiig* (the overly excited way of saying gig.... duh!) The gig the next day.... yesterday in fact.... ooh well what can i say that i haven't already said?... it took us a good couple of hours to find the theatre because birmingham is really horrible to get round...and there are home and away posters everywhere.. also it was quite bizarre and a bit surreal because me and becky (non sinister.... eek) were at the merchandise stall thingy... i was buying the place out... and we turned round and there were madeleine and danny... which was a bit strange but that wasn't too unlikely to happen was it?... but then when we sat down in our seats we discovered that directly in front of us was james.... which was even more bizarre and a lot less likely to have happened methinks.... but t'was grate that it did... sorry we didn't see any of you lovely people afterwards... hope you enjoyed it (forgone conclusion??) Anyway Stuart said that he wanted to still be part of Britain and we all cheered.... And Stevie Is Pregnant apparently... or did i misunderstand that? Stuart replaced the word 'hell' in i know where the summer goes with something about birmingham... not quite sure what... but we all cheered anyway... Stuart forgot the words to slow graffiti and we all cheered..... Three little girls danced for them and Stuart gave then each something at the end (jealous) and we all cheered.... I took lots of photos when the security guards weren't looking and the girls in front got told off for it .... hehe... sorry... but i got loads of graaate photos... you'll see them when i get then developed.... Set list was the same as everywhere else except no 'fox in the snow' or 'lazy line painter jane' they did 'you made me forget my dreams' instead which was lovely. It began with 'Le Pastie....' which Stuart said was about a cake (??) and finished with 'Legal Man' which i previously disliked quite a bit but now love (l...o...v...e.... love dum de dum).... So thats that... Happiness all round Ooh needless to say i didn't go to school people who were worried about that...

Message-ID: <03754DDCC645D311AA6700805F854E430277553B@lotus.ntu.ac.uk> Well, James beat me to getting the first Birmingham gig review to the list, but hey, I always prefer to come second. (That sentence was specifically included for the benefit of Dale) Another day, another sparkling B&S gig. The Alexandra Theatre is conveniently situated between The Foundry on one side, which was hosting a goth / skatekid nedfest at the time; and a strip club on the other side. Where did the band go after the show? Place your bets now... Inside the theatre, it was hotter than a vindaloo in a microwave in the Sahara. But the walls were decorated with pictures of past performers, including Sid Little and Eddie Large's autographs, and Lionel Blair on top of Maureen Lipman. Which you don't see every day. The auditorium went up and up forever, hence Stuart announcing after the first song (Le Pastie, introduced as being "A song about a cake") that he'd have to play the rest of the gig lying on his back so everyone could see him; and the band later worrying about whether they had bald spots which could be seen from the upper circle. Stuart then went on to talk about how he was bullied at school for having a bald spot from the age of 12, and how he wished all the other kids had now turned completely bald. I didn't make notes as I went along as to what the setlist was, but it was more-or-less the same as the previous nights, with a few alterations. Slow Graffiti made an appearance (despite Stuart fluffing his lines), as did Mayfly. They also played You Made Me Forget My Dreams, which Stuart said he was very nervous about because they hadn't practiced it. Stevie's voice has finally revovered, enabling him to reach the high notes on Jonathan David (not an easy task, as anyone who has tried singing along in the comfort of their own room will know). The cover in the middle was Heroes by David Bowie; for once noone accused them of planning and practicing it beforehand, and Stevie apologised to any Bowie fans at the end. Stevie also announced that he wanted to have kids, at which point Stuart said by the time he was old enough, they might have invented a way for men to have babies; and Stevie replied "Adoption?". At another point, a large Scottish flag was draped across the front of the stage by someone on the front row; prompting Stuart to talk about how he wasn't into all the SNP Scottish independence stuff; not least because if Scotland was independent, England would permanently be ruled by the Conservatives. But the big news: another new song! Instead of I Love My Car, they played a different new one; a Northern Soul / Motown style song all about a relationship coming to an end in a not-very-amicable fashion. Stuart said they hadn't decided on a name for it yet; I'm wondering if it's going to be the new single? It would certainly sound good with a 40-piece string section behind it (the string players on stage were going at it all the way through), it would be a lot more logical choice for a single than the time-signature-morphing I Love My Car, and the name confusion would explain the delay in confirming the details of the new EP. And David Moore and others will be pleased to know that it's another song which is absolutely impossible to sing along to, Stuart almost sounded like he was yodelling in the chorus... The atmosphere wasn't up to Scarborough standards, partly because the stewards refused to let anyone dance in the aisles, even by the end of Legal Man only about 10 people were stood up. But never mind, the sound was good and the band played really well. Three girls were dragged up onstage during Wrong Girl and again during Legal Man to dance (and received their disco dancing medals); half the audience were jealous, and the other half felt sorry for them because they looked so embarrassed. It was too hot in there to do much dancing anyway; Stuart even suggested at one point that the band and the audience should all take all their clothes off to cool down, but he chickened out... Post-gig, the bar was already shut (at 10.15!), forcing us to, erm, go to the pub instead. And then 5 of us took an impromptu tour around the sights of Birmingham looking for a chipshop (the city mysteriously appears to have more lap-dancing bars than food outlets), before getting the hell out of the city. Let's face it, there aren't many places in the world that make Preston look glamourous. Well, that's my gig-going over with. They're so much better live now than a few years ago; it's the first tour where loads of songs have sounded better than they do on the record (Legal Man, Too Much Love, The Model etc). Here's hoping it's not another 3 years until the next one!

I'm writing because I try to answer the Reinder Section question ... i think it is Mick Cooke from the Bells who is in it because he's the very one who plays the trumped. I will definately go and have a look because it all sounds quite good and interesting. I havent had time to go through all the mails in my inbox but I hope all my customers go on a long, long sumer holiday so I can read them all!! There were probably many mails about the great gig in the Barrowlands and I would like to add how much I enjoyed it, specially because I was waiting so many years to see B&S life! I was quite in the front bit of the crowd, I have heard that the sound in the back was much better ... I didnt really care because I still thought it was so good and I just wanted to SEE them and as I'm not 6ft tall I just had to head to the front! Anyway I was standing behind this pearl-harbour-army-kind of dressed up guy (no clue WHY he was dressed up like this)who wanted the Rod Steward cover "Your so Sexy ..." ... which was quite funny and it was priceless when Chris gave his glasses to STuard during the Proclaimers cover ... Ye, it was a good, good night. I didnt go to the artschool afterwards but to 13th note because it was closer and they played Legal Man which made us dancing like crazy chickens! So that was me, almost, when we were in this pub in the city centre we saw Stuart and Stevie and my beloved "man" couldnt resist to go and say hello and telling Stuart (because he was at the bar)how much he appreciated the gig ;-) love tigermilk -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Red, pointy-toe, kitten heel sling-backs and black and white stripy ankle socks? Sack your, stylist, woman and get yourself some sensible flip flops. Although I did admire your skirt and top and no matter how large people say your arse it, it's still a lot smaller than mine. But why were you yawning so much? Boredom or just good old rock'n'roll exhaustion? Either way, you could at least have *pretended* to be having a good time. And Stuart. Stuart, Stuart, Stuart. Honey is right, you really do have arms of sex. You in your tight white t-shirt and smart trousers (also, not sure about the shoes, though) with your funky dancing. Your lovely Scottish accent and your endearing lapses of memory. And you're such a tease! When you pretended to take your shirt off..... oh my! And Stevie, you're cute as a button, although you shouldn't fiddle with your ears and glasses so much as it makes you look nervous. But your big deep voice in Legal Man was very impressive and your singing in Jonathon David was better than the record and everything. You dancing girls.... what can I say? It was certainly the first time I've ever seen people hand jiving to The Wrong Girl. The rest of you: you were all right too. It was a fantastic night, as James said in his earlier post. The theatre was old fashioned and huge and had photos of luminaries of British theatre and television: Peter Bowles, Edith and Rene from Allo Allo, Maureen Lipman, Lionel Blair and various others who have had bit-parts (sorry, *cameos*) in The Bill and Casualty. Beer was horribly expensive and there was a smell of sweaty people in the air. Sadly, people were not allowed to stand and have a little boogy. If they tried, a lady in white shirt and black bowtie politely asked them to "Sit the FUCK DOWN. RIGHT NOW!". Or something. **I've just realised that James and Stuart have already posted about this, so I won't bang on too much about it all** The set list was: Le Pastie Too Much Love A Peel song that I don't know the name of I Know Where the Summer Goes My Wandering Days are Over Jonathod David Slow Grafitti (which bought a tear to my eye is was so perfect) The Model The Girl's Got Miraculous Technique Interlude: Heroes Young Boy Smile (this is whst my notes say (?)) Twattybus You Made Me Forget My Dreams Family Tree Mayfly New Song The Wrong Girl - (can't read notes) Legal Man The sound was perfect and pure. I was expecting it to be a bit dodgy, as things are when played live, but the quality was often better than the studio recordings. It delved into your chest (and don't even think of putting your innuendo hat on, ken) and tugged on heart strings and stomach lining and made my face tingle with the purity of it all. Sorry this is so long. Well done for getting this far. Big shouts out and nuff respec to Stu, who at under 8 ft was something of a disappointment (ken.... don't even think about it!). He made me giggle and drove us all home which was amazingly kind of him. James, who is too cool to ever be afraid of a snake and really should have been allowed to strut his stuff in the aisles. And Danny and Dale, the Canadian Contingent, who are not Sinister, but now truly understand the maening of the word 'twee' (appartently, they don't use this word for Hello Kitty devotees in West Canada. How odd). I could go on and on and on about this all, but I won't. I'll just stay indoors and talk to myself about it. Oh, and enormous thank yous to Ulla for the sillistration (no. 41 on the web site). It's beautiful and I'm very touched. Could you send me your address off list so I can send you a little gift?

Speaking of which, I hereby faithfully promise to update the "songs that belle and sebastian songs sound like" list very soon cos i've got quite a few of them hanging around (it's here: http://www.geocities.com/carsmilesteve if anyone doesn't know what i'm talking about). John J just said: Three little girls danced for them and Stuart gave then each something at the end and OOER MISSUS (in rememberance of the late hattie jaques) i thought. then the big man just said: the string players on stage were going at it all the way through brum has obviously brought out the double entendres in you.. ANYWAY, my weekend was absolutely superb, after a slightly dodgy "hold on i hardly know anyone at this picnic" moment when we arrived on friday and the comedy walking 20 mins to find an offie and then paying effectively pub prices things got so much better, even when the pub cabbage was looking for disappeared. The gig was, as you may have already have heard, rather good, mrs carsmile was even impressed. We rule the school was my personal highlight (interesting word change, "NC was here" rather than "NC loved me"), closely followed by lazy line painter jane (lungs so large for a lady so small). Also the "stars in their eyes" style ripple of applause that greeted the start of Family Tree, seemingly initiated by starry getting a bit carried away, which reduced ms alder to a helpless giggling mess for the rest of the song. The inevitable massive !P!R!O!P!S! to la hodottir for her rousing performance and also to the person down the front who shouted for "ease yr feet into the sea" and then said "i went all the way to aberdeen and you didn't play it there either", "erm, come to ipswich, we'll play it there", was the mumbled, somewhat embarrassed response from our struan. Speaking of whom, we now have a pic of him with his top off playing footie, at least ailsa ross does. To follow this with a day of sitting in the park, drinking and nattering with some of my fave ppl ever was good enough, but then to follow that with even more drinking and dancing and watching more bands with some more of my fave ppl made an old man very happy, although will someone *please* tell me to stop dancing and behave like a grown up next time, especially when i start punching the air... Will i ever learn? apparently not :) anyway GRATE big hugs and kisses to everyone i met over the weekend (especially mr cabbage for letting me watch the peanut hugging on saturday, and also sally moore and sam walton for being good picnic mummies), really this is a very very special group of people and i want to give honey and linda a huge big sloppy kiss for putting up with us all and looking after us and just bringing us together in the first place. xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <00db01c103ca$783682c0$4200010a@HOSTB66.INTERNAL.ZONE> hiya, It's the year 2001, so it must be time for another post... I saw Belle and Sebastian! Twice! and I don't care if lots of other people did too, I was/still am very excited. And on saturday I climbed a mountain in the hot wastelands in the back of beyond (or souff london) to find lots of sinister people having a picnic, so I popped my cherry. A cherry lollypop that is, and anyone thinking I was referring to anything else can go and wash their corrupted mind out with soap. The picnic was great - it was very nice to be able to put faces to all the famous names at last, even if I was humilialted in the football match by losing a fight with a particularly violent tree. Big Stu said of Birmingham: "Let's face it, there aren't many places in the world that make Preston look glamourous." and with Struans hell/birmingham mix up (he must have forgotten the lines again) I am going to stick up for Brum. Yes it has got lots of concrete, but it is concrete with style (ahem). Just step backwards from the Alex, and towering majestically behind it is the marvel that is the rotunda. Now, where else has got one of those I ask you - I am sure Brian Appleton would agree with me. And the Belle and Sebastian T-Shirts were 2 pounds cheaper in Birmingham. However, I did prefer the Albert Hall gig. Yes, the sound was much better in Birmingham and "You made me forget my dreams" was brill'yant, but where were "We rule the School" and "Lazy Line painter jane"? Stuck somewhere near Willesden Junction no doubt. Ben Apps said in a kind and caring way "I hope you got home OK Tim." which is the cue for a big rant about the state of public transport in this country, the stability of double decker buses going round roundabouts at speeds that I didn't think double decker buses were capable of while fully loaded on the top deck, long walks in ill fitting doc martins and the CID stopping a suspicous looking character for sitting down at the side of the road at 4am, coincidentally opposite a house that had been broken into a couple of hours beforehand. Apparently I might have been "coming back for more". But yes, I did get home okay, thankyou for asking. Enough of this jibberish already, Sweet dreams, tim.x +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <20010703145358.62308.qmail@web13806.mail.yahoo.com> 'manhattan murder mystery' was on television recently. and it just served to remind me of just how much I really actually like woody allen. I forget frequently. I haven't smoked in a while. I had a cigarette last night. after watching juliet binoche attempt suicide. and I heard two cats fighting. and I was glad that it was dark. and that my night vision isn't. good. I was tidying my room and I found a piece of paper under my bed. it had 'I want to be the hero of my own life' scrawled on it. and I wondered when I had written it. and I was watching 'the cider house rules' [kinda] while I was tidying. and then. yeah. tobey maguire started reading the first chapter of 'david copperfield'. as I read somewhere. somewhere. the reindeer section was dreamt up by that gary lightbody guy from the snow patrol. and he had dreamt it up at a lou barlow gig. and after he dreamt it up he went about recruiting musicians from the audience at the lou barlow gig to try and realise his dream. and the thing I read somewhere said that members of astrid are in it. and members of idlewild would have been too. if they could have made the sessions. which they couldn't. but. that makes sense. because I saw lou barlow playing a while back and astrid were supporting at one point. and idlewild at another. point. and I told the wee guy from astrid I had seen him on 'young, gifted and broke' [a late night television programme with a low, low production value and of little interest] he seemed insulted and denied it. I told him I was sure. I later realised I had actually seen him on 'loud TV' [a late night television programme with a low, low production value and of little interest]. quite a different show. but. I had had a few drinks. also. one of the guys on the door that night asked if I was 'in the band'. I asked him if I looked like I was in the band. he shrugged. I saw him again later and told him of my new plan: that he should tell everyone he saw that I was in the band. especially any nice young ladies. that he saw. he shrugged again. so I shrugged too. now. the people from belle and sebastian who have been doing this reindeer stuff are: mick cooke, richard colburn and 'belfast' bob kildea [who was called a 'member of belle and sebastian' in the thing I read somewhere. but other people will say 'v->twin'. so so will I.]. so. and they're playing at nice 'n' sleazy's? or they have? I thought about thinking about going. or I think I did. but I've missed it? probably. maybe it's tomorrow. I'll think about going. and an album. it's going to be called 'ya'll get scared now, ya hear'. and I don't know if that's a good idea or not. and they'll be at t in the park. and whether that's a good idea or not... it doesn't sound like a bad thing. the thing. but the names that were chosen are not too. nice. to me. but...what's in a name? being in #sinister recently and noting that the 'topic' was advertising an mp3 titled 'the state that lorraine is in' I was intrigued to the point of downloading. and listening. my, my. how impressed! I was. what a brave young lady. she kept her cool and recalled lyrics and called out 'sinister!'. had I been in a similar situation I'm sure I wouldn't have even attempted the notes that lorraine achieved. I would have kept to the two notes I know I can produce. notes. or maybe they're tones. anyhow. well done. to lorraine. the hodottir. an eastside [of scotland] picnic is in the works. and it sounds like it might be a whole lot of fun. I received a letter recently advising me that I don't have enough credits to proceed to the third year of my course. worried. I phoned a friend who reassured me that everything would be fine. and hopefully it will. be fine. I mentioned 'brno' last time. and someone said it was cheap. that's what my friend said. or says. 'we'll live like kings!' he repeats. and we might. I might. if I manage to get there. gosh. this rambled a little more than I had intended it to. sorry, richard. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Message-ID: I was just thinking, after reading Big Stu's post, that the song they played in Birmingham might be "I'm waking up to us". I remember Struan or Stevie had mentioned it in that little blurb from the beginning of the year- the one about them having the same producer as Petula Clark. And if I recall correctly, the band said it had something like a 25 piece backing orchestra. That might be wrong, but there's a good possibility that was the song they played... I had wanted to ask if anyone else on the list from the States was going to the Neal Pollack Literature and Music festival in Philadelphia. Dave Eggers, Ben Greenman, and Zadie Smith (to whom I am engaged, without her knowledge) will be reading, and quite a few bands will be playing. I only ask because it might be nice to have some sort of coterie of Sinister there- to fight off the Journey fans these things inevitably draw. Also, again, much thanks to those of you who take the time to diligently transcribe all the excitement from the gigs and picnics for those of us who must be absent. *IF* B&S ever decide to come to east coast U.S., I promise to do the same. last- note to Ken Chu: I saw a product called "Blue Ox Energy Drink" in a local convenience store yesterday. an embarrassment of American adaption. horrible. someone told me that they *do* have Red Bulls in the states now, just not everywhere yet. we're so weird. OKay. off to my job- taking tech support calls for WebTV. last week's highlight: explaining to an 89 year old man how the shift button works.

The album is exceedingly good indeed, although it's sadly not out til August. If I was clever and knew of such technology, I'd be naughty and put the whole gosh-darned thing online. But I'm not. So I won't. (I will, however, point portentiously to my e-mail address above, for totally unrelated reasons of course.) The full line-up is this: Gary Lightbody & Jonny Quinn - Snow Patrol Aidan Moffat � Arab Strap Willie Campbell, Charlie Clarke, Gareth Russell & Michael Bannister � Astrid John Cummings � Mogwai Colin Macintyre � Mull Historical Society Bob Kildea � V-Twin Jenny Reave � Eva Richard Colburn & Mick Cooke � Belle & Sebastian Gill Mills & Andrew Meehan � Hercules So...two B&Sers and a V-Twin...lovely. The bulk of the album sounds more like Snow Patrol than anyone else, but they've gone lovely and psychedelic all of a sudden so that's definitely a good thing. Basically, the principle is a Scottish/Irish version of "You Have Been Poisoned By The Serpents" which came out a couple of years ago and assembled a similarly motley crew of (predominantly Welsh) people from the Super Furries and Gorkys and suchlike, to make strange noodly music. In other news, B&S at the RAH were lovely, as has noe been said a thousand millino times on this list so I won't bang on. A fair few peeps I went with left vee disappointed (bad sound, bit of a shambles, pricey drinks,whatever) but I thought the whole thang held together fabbily well. Was gutted they didn't play GMAFHID tho, but I retaliated by singing it ALL THE WAY back to Tottenham Court Road on foot (buses are rubbish). And even the oddly disjointed "Jonathan David" was kinda endearing. Extremely jealous congrats to The Hodd for being asked to sing onstage. Would've shat meself personally but somehow you didn't! I think *you* should now form a band (if you haven't already...) just so you can then invite Stuart onstage to sing one of *your* songs as a mark of respect. Or something. Forgot about the picnic on Saturday. Feel very silly. Boo. *And* I didn't get any badges due to not even noticing the merchandise thing even though it was apparently really enormous and obvious...so if anybody got a spare set I wouldn't mind arranging some arrangement... Oh, and a couple of peeps asked about the Jonathan David video again, so here's the link: http://www.now.com/mp3tv/feature.now?fid=1891152&cid=1688986 There. Bye! ttfn xox Charlie ps. very late indeed I know, but isn't "Nalda Said" just *enchanting*? pps. any Leicester Sinisterines going to the Summer Sundae this, er, Sunday? If not why not? Laaaaambchoooop...Tuuuriiiin Braaaakes...ummm, and a nice park and a pretty memorial thingy with flags made of stone! Best go now.

INDEED! I may have been a little mean to Isobel in the past, but I take it all back! She's damn well wonderful! Family Tree was one of the highlights of each show I went to - honestly, I've not been more amused since first listen to the lyric mentioned in the subject line! I mean, Low, fantastic amazing album, but that line is defintely COMIC MELODRAMA MOMENT. I fell down the stairs of my flat once, when I had "yer slippers too big"* and wished that I didn't have such telltale bruises all over my arse, to tell you the truth. But anyway! Even better than the two Ronnies! I now have nothing but undying enthusiasm for Isobel, I even want to do her lovely hair!! Of course, sometimes I want to slap the "eyes to the ceiling too good for this" expression on her face that she puts on whenever someone does a better job at singing than her (pfff!), but a playful slap! A bit like Elekids playful punch in the pokémon trading card game. Elekid is a good card to have! I did indeed start the applaws to Family Tree. It was BRILLIANT. Me in a cage, with a bottle of rage, indeedio. I know JUST what she means. Don't try and sneak into the tiger cages in Blackpool zoo with a bottle of zoider chaps. Me and Isobel, we KNOW what it's like. Thank god for that bottle of rage else we may never have got out aloive.. Well, *I* was in the tiger cage, Isobel was probably in the fluffy bunny cages, STEALING THEIR EARS to wear as a chest wig!! I mean, I mean, stroking them, that is what I mean! Steve - never stop the dancing! ONE MORE TIME! Oh yeah! Alright! Right, I'm off. Didn't we have a lovely week, the week we went to Barcelona?

(which was somewhat like a womb) i felt a bit civilised and awestruck and sat regarding the sea of twee for a while. just as i was wandering down to the front to say hi to some sinisterines, the band suddenly came on and i was trapped there! a mere stone's throw (note clever JD reference...) from the stage! ailsa, liz d. and i were kindly (and fortunately) made room for by big stu's even bigger long lost american twin, so then had only smoochy couples and excitable schoolgirls to negotiate. B&S were... well, we all know how great they are. they were a lot more polished than i'd been expecting, but not in a bad way. the songs they so wonderfully played, in an entirely incorrect and probably incomplete order (me not the band) were: le pastie de la bourgoisie too much love dog on wheels the wrong girl mayfly my wandering days are over miraculous technique simple things family tree jonathan david woman's realm i love my car the state i am in (feat. the hodottir and friends) the boy with the arab strap we rule the school the model lazy line painter jane everyday people some notes from what would normally have been the mosh pit: - stuart wears a white short sleeved shirt with shop crease still in it, and has an approach to dancing more enthusiastic than rhythmical. later, he refers to wanting 'to smash something up'. he does indeed rule the school. - stevie is suffering from a sore throat, but stuart helps him on the high notes in jonathan david and the wrong girl. ahhh... - mick gives great lip. his way with a variety of horns is certainly impressive live. - chris seems surprised, though happy for a day, at his respectable vocal on the arrested development/sly & the family stone cover. - isobel looks anxious, bob dylan looks enigmatic. her voice does not carry very far, though the ungenerous (ailsa) are probably happy about this. - richard is cordoned off behind a screen (bulletproof perspex, maybe?) to gurn in peace. - sarah sits on the floor for much of the time it seems. - monica queen looks like a mischievous schoolgirl in her plaits, but sings like a true diva. - percussion eggs are widely and reverently employed. maybe they're trying to hatch something. - the brave and beautiful sinister Voice does us all proud. (though i do worry that her name means 'daughter of ho' in icelandic...) unfortunately i had to leave straight after, without saying goodbye to many of the starry-eyed sinisterines in attendance. i did get to see a dramatic police convoy on the way to victoria though. was it b&s, under protection from a crazed steven wells? (well, no, unless they'd all disguised themselves as black middle aged men.) like hannah, i felt kind of wrong later. somehow going to work on monday was even worse than usual, and i kept wanting to shout ' hey, i was at the royal albert hall on friday you know! having a transcendent if sweaty experience! don't you care?!' i did consider sitting around in a cafe and forming a band instead. but that would have been stupid. coming down... 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.

My habit of lurking for two years at a time means that almost none of you will know who I am, but hello to you all anyway. I thought I should sneak out from under my Sinister-stone to tell you how bouncy I am after the gig last night. Partially because I met Stuart!!!!! ... but more of that later*. I am a little perturbed that most of you non-Brummie types who braved the city seem to have gone home with a really bad impression of it. I can only suggest you come back and I show you all the *good* (well, less bad) places to go! (and booo! to all those who playfully suggest that it should only take a minute or two). The gig was very cool, not sure I can add much to the reviews that other people have already given. I left my original seat to sit with my cool but non-Sinister friend Hannah, way up in the distance in the impressive-sounding Grand Circle. We had half a row to ourselves up there because everyone sitting next to her had left suffering from vertigo. Seriously. The band played beautifully, they seem so much more confident and at ease performing these days. Little shivers ran down my spine as they played 'I know where the summer goes'. Afterwards we hung around for a while, wishing there was a beach to head for and trying not to attract undue attention from the studded-collar types queueing for the rock club next door ... and whilst we hung around having a drink at the Victoria (behind the theatre) and wondering what to do next, we suddenly realised that there was Stuart!, carrying boxes and packing equipment. He waved at Hannah, so we walked around the other side of the building and went over to say hi. I'd like to think I maintained some semblance of calm and saved all my burbling and rambling until afterwards, but I probably didn't. He signed my '3 ... 6 ... 9' poster 'to Nick and Hannah' and then added ' ... but especially Nick' when we explained that we had separate posters :). Fascinating facts we gleaned: they wanted to play Brighton but weren't able to arrange it for this tour, but next time round (whenever that may be) they intend to go there, and Liverpool and Newcastle too. And with that he left, looking for the rest of the band. When he finds them, I hope they'll play Birmingham again too. After all, it's probably better than you think!** returning to lurking again ... love Nick ~~~ * that was a device to keep you reading to the end. Sorry if you feel cheated :) ** please note, I may be wrong. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

By the way, I just bought the album, and I have to totally agree with the review. I also want to alert Sinister about a new group called the Shins. While I haven't heard the actual the album, National Public Radio described them as nostalgic summer indie pop (and they sounded like B&S meets the Beach Boys). Here is the review: "Someday soon, there's going to be a rebellion against the sort of quiet rock practiced by the Clientele. Drake-ian, tendeer folk rose to prominence with Belle And Sebastian and stirred a sea of imitators to a threatening high tide. But to lump the Clientele in with cut-rate impostors is to do the U.K. trio a tremendous disservice. The Clientele is clearly drawing from a deeper pool, melding Galaxie 500 with the Left Banke and Love to create irresistible pop gems. Guitarist Alasdair MacLean's breathy voice sweetly intones tales of sorrow and heartbreak, pleading "I want you so bad in my heart," abashedly confessing "I want you more than ever," sounding altogether earnest, fragile, endearing and true. It's a perfect fit for the band's decidedly retro posturing, the effortless, airy stylings in league with both B&S and Felt but stealing from neither. The music rises up slow and tender, delicate arpeggios, brushed percussion, tentative verses easing into cool, summery choruses like a swimmer slipping into the sea. Someday soon, there's going to be a rebellion against the sort of quiet rock practiced by the Clientele. But not today, baby. Not today." I like the ending, but I wonder...isn't there already a huge rebellion against quiet rock? Maybe someday people will actually appreciate our sense of taste, but not today baby. Not today.

All this talk of B&S and their gigs is making me dizzy. Or then again, it might be that the five hours I slept last night wasn't enough. Who knows? But hey, something has happened... It's a miracle that I thought would never be possible. People talk about B&S gigs, about how good Isobel looked and how Stuart wanked himself off while playing that guitarsolo on "Mayfly"... and I feel nothing. Nothing. Because the sad (?) fact is that I don't care that much about B&S anymore. Why, I hear you ask? Hmmm... This is the point where it all goes complicated. But let me try to explain something to you. You might call it the facts of life according to ME, you might call it the gospel of truth according to ME, but here it comes. Now, my life revolves quite a lot around music. Although I haven't bought that many cd's in the past few months, I still tend to think my life as a movie, and every movie these days has a soundtrack. Me, I've never liked those "Music inspired by this stupid blockbuster"- collections that only _stupid_ people buy. No, every moment in life can be categorized through songs. And here's the part some of you might not like: Who can say they live their life like those characters on B&S- songs? It's all fine and dandy if you do actually ride your bicycle up and down the hill. There's nothing wrong with that. You can also hold your teddybear real tenderly on your chest and cry your life away. You have that right. But fooking hell, that's not me. Maybe it was a few years ago, but things happen and things especially change. Someone fucks you up the arse, tells you to sod off. You do. You feel bad for a while, then things start to happen. You sleep around. You sleep around some more. And it feels fucking great, to realize that you've still GOT it. Then you sleep around a bit more. Then you find this someone who you make an agreement with: "I'll be your vibrator, you can be my Dolly the Sheep." You go on for a while like that. And then you realize something. "This isn't great after all. i have this emotional vacuum inside of me. I still think of that one who left me behind and I still need her/him around me more than anything else. Am I doing all this because I try to get my thoughts away from him/her with the magical aid of alcohol and sex?" And the answer is: Yes. Now tell me: Where's the B&S in that? No, it's got Shellac (first part: anger from being left behind), it's got Marilyn Manson (krhm, won't go into details. Just don't do it, kids) and Hefner (erm, everything) written all over it. Ok, now you all think that this is all self-pity. It isn't. It's just a long, long explanation why I don't listen to B&S anymore. It can offer me nothing. It's like watching a film starring Meg Ryan where the ending is always happy and they get each other in the end. Life just isn't like that. Oh, I bought Jonathan and David yesterday. I think it's crap. Loneliness is great, though. Maybe I should end this with something a bit more different. I went to the library yesterday and got this strange, strange book: Rocks Elite- The Elite in Rock: Views on the Finnish rockscene. It's from 1989, and it's downright funny. You'd think 12 years isn't such a long time. It really is. -Jake/Jasu ps: The best part is that almost none of you know me, so I can say whatever the hell I want. _________________________________________________________________________ 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.

And those nasal sprays just make me sneeze more. And the drugs only work when they want to. I'm not happy about this. graduation next week and my tickets still haven't arrived. I'm in a whinging mood today. Why can't everything just sort itself out and not bother me at all? Job hunting on the internet. Work thing is garish, and slow. monster doesn't have anything for graduates. Was at the SECC graduate fair. Didn't get a job, but I got some gummi bears from IBM. They had chupa chups as well. These recruitment types.. they know students sooo well. Chupa chups is currency to buy friends with. I'm yours for a Kwenchy Kup and some fizzy cola bottle sweeties. either that or let me dip my finger into your sherbet dip and take a lick. Idleboyfriend sat listening to the charts on Sunday. He was hoping JD would have gone woosh!!! in the charts. I told him not to be silly. But heres a thing... right, legal man got to number 15, but JD only got to 30.

(surely i wasn't the only one wondering if he had got lost backstage in a spinal tap style?) struan responding to screamed requests of "stars of track and field" with the quip "we've got an athletics team up there." stevie insisting he was "alright on the deep ones� i like it on the deep ones .. know what I mean" just before "the wrong girl". struan's comparing richard's high-tech glass surroundings to a "little condom". despite the acoustics, it was a great gig. so, a special vote of thanks has to go to mark cassarotto for selling his spare standing ticket to me. apologies for not making it to either picnic, but it was great to meet so many lovely people at both friday and saturday gigs. those turning up at strange fruit could have been treated to my uncanny impression of caroline aherne at an awards ceremony. apparently struan was watching us dance. i imagine that was with a look of abject terror. still, lets all be thankful that stevie hadn't mentioned at that point that he wanted babies. it could have been *much* worse. cress xox ----------------------------------- Cressida Darwin c.darwin at sghms.ac.uk St. Georges Hospital Medical School Opinions expressed those of the author and not the institution +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Of course, when I actually sit down to write, I forget everything. But I will carry on regardless. So gigs - exciting huh? I wasn't going to go to any of them because of the cost of crossing the Irish Sea and the ludicous price of Sterling, but then you all came back babbling about what a wonderful time you had and how happy the band were on stage, and I decided I couldn't miss it, because who knows when they'll tour again, so today I'm flying to Stansted and going to the gig in Ispwich on Thursday. Woo! I am suitably excited. I also wanted to publicty state the fact that I like FISHYCLAP. it was my first B&S cd and I love it, and still do. I love the Model and The Wrong Girl, and I even have a certain fondness for Beyond the Sunrise. And to Big Stu, I also kinda like Nothing in the Silence. a whole heap of my friends have gone away to the states this summer. I am meant to be staying at home and earning some money for college next year. Instead I am running awat to see Belle and Sebastian. I think this is my way of avoiding reality.

If you are, be sure to say a cheery hello to myself, Feather Boa and Mr. Hallifax. I will have a new haircut for the occasion which is more than I can say for Stuart who has not cut his since he started university. Strange boy. I will also have my upside down badges on to signify allegiance. We will be sitting in the fourth row back, hopefully that's close enough to collect some of Struan's bodily fluids to keep in my shrine. Nothing more to say really, just have a great time.

I did go to the Saturday picnic which was quite good however. I went to Camera Obscura afterwards too but I couldn't stay long as I had to get a train back a bit earlier than usual because they had messed them up a little. Guess who I went to see yesterday when so many of you* were in Bournemouth? Go on guess... Look at the subject line... WEEZER! They rocked. They were absolutely fantastic and I moshed my little twee heart out. I haven't moshed in *ages* because so much of the "loud" music you hear these days is so pants. There were people in Feeder t-shirts and stuff, grr, I hope they were taking the piss. Mmm they were very rock and roll. They had two support bands which was annoying, but they had a great big fuck off "W" hanging at the back of the stage which was covered with lights which flashed and stuff during the songs, which seemed pretty damn cool. So the picnic then. It was ace. I forced a Finnish girl in a B&S t-shirt to come along to the picnic instead of sit by the observatory on her own and I tried to be nice but wasn't very good at it. It was nice sitting with a better view outside of the garden - if further from the toilets. The toilets are certainly an advantage to Greenwich over Primrose hill... when it's a hot day and lots of people are in the park I worry about public indecency laws when unzipping my trousers by the bushes. Though it was worse in Glasgow where I couldn't find toilets or even very good bush cover anyway. I had to settle for somewhere slightly exposed and just hope no one walked past. But the Glagow picnic was better than any London one. Ally deserves big props for organising such a huge picnic especially when there were so many dumb tourists like me who didn't know where they were. My trip to galsgow last month was great. The picnic was better than the gig. And the gig was great. We walked round glasgow in the morning. We got a couple of Gouranga yo-yos. Daf bought pint size plastic cups for his wine. I bought socks. The stars of my Glasgow trip were... Amy Jackson for helping me and Dafyd get around. Ally96 for organising the picnic. Belle for being the coolest dog in the world. Gordon for ordering taxis and knowing the way round and generally being good company. Sweetie for having cool hair and looking generally quite rock and roll in quite a fantastic way. And for being a ned's worst nightmare. The guy with the bottle opener for being the guy with the bottle opener, everyone always likes you ;) Everyone else I met you were all fantastic :) Right I will stop my ranting now. Byebye everyone xx James. *Where are the gig reports? Christ I just remembered a whole extra rant to do that I didn't fit in. Ok quickly. The following band is ace/GRATE/swell: THE VIOLENT FEMMES Trust me. Buy their first album (simply called "Violent Femmes") and get very drunk and listen to it very loud it's fantastic. P.S. does anyone want to know how to play the game Limp Biscuit? You probably don't unless you're very smutty, actually. I think I'll spare you... +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Ever since I became broke I've been having sex with so many girls, it's unbelievable, every night I slept with a different girl. I don't think I can listen to Belle & Sebastian anymore, it's just wrong, I'll listen solely to Craig David from now on. Sorry I'm bragging now. I went to my graduation ceremony today and it was very interesting in an extremely boring way. In fact, it wasn't interesting at all. Although there was excitement as I went on the stage and totally blanked the chancellor of the University by accident (who has a big fuck off pole made out of gold) cos I was giggling so much and forgotten what I was supposed to do. Oops. I only found out after I got off that I was supposed to bow to the guy. Oops. But I have my degree certificate now so he can take his big golden pole and shove it. Our beloved Robin Stout was in the same ceremony too! But according to the announcer he didn't manage to finish his degree, only his brother "Robert Stout" did. My dad told me beforehand that we would have to leave the University as soon as the ceremony was finished because he had to go visit his friend afterwards, which works to my favour because I can't be bothered with photos (although we still took like 802349), and I can get home quicker. But my dad never told me that his friend lives in HULL! For Friar tuck's sake that's like 200 miles from where we live! And as soon as he got there he got himself royally pished, and I had to drive him and my mum home at midnight, I thought I was meant to be the one getting wrecked, maybe it's my new responsibility as a grown up, now that I sleep with a new girl every night and everything. Sex and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: I bought Jonathan David the other day I think it's great. The best part is that a lot of you know me and already hate me to my guts, so I can say whatever and you'd still love me more than you did before, cos it can't get any worse. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <00ab01c10508$b0870340$e6135fd8@yesic.com> or is that rooves? we certainly do not call them moonroofs in toronto. not MY toronto anyway. canada? yeah... are we even talking about the same thing here? that little window covered in bird shit on the top of cars? wouldn't it be great if everyone else knew about some kind of window in some other kind of place (non-car being) and it was just for watching the moon -the key here (punctum? is my terminology correct?) being everyone knowing something i don't. like in tomas pynchon novels (ok, llaura, i'll stop). i actually took a very good picture of a very foggy and mysterious moon out of my bedroom window, and this has nothing to do with other people's bums, this was a real honest to goodness luminous disc suspended on one of the rotating glass membranes that circle above the earth suspended in the mysterious ether. it was not someone's bum (i mean to be clear on this), and i had to use a very long shutter speed to get it at all which involved staying very very still. can i only use punctum where the photos are concearned? i haven't read the relevant book yet so i'm just running on hear'say. or maybe sugar jones. enough of me... there's just nothing to say about belle and sebastian when you come from canada and are also located there during the time that belle and sebastian are touring the united kingdom. its all just green-eyed jealousy, even i don't give a fuck about sunrooves or photos of other people's foggy behinds... and enough of all this great belle and sebastian news.... "WHEN I SEE A PRETTY GIRL, EVEN I COME TO HATE CHESS."* has anyone reconsidered sixty nine love songs lately? me and kevin rogers were talking about it today and we decided that although we were very excited about it at the time, we are considerably less excited about it now. so much so that we don't listen to it at all anymore. when that record first came out i was just entering university, the world was as fresh as ceremony by new order (or at least the intro, if not the rest of the song) and the prospect of spending 3 hrs listening to an uneven album of folk-tronic love songs was appealing beyond words. now, however, it is get lost and holiday that i listen to due to their solid pop stylings and the poor, bloated, unrepentently dull 69 sits on the shelf. i also went back and read that really ranty thing by the duke person about how everyone sang like angels or something ....i'm just not sure. actually, i only listen to journey now -i recommend all fans of pink floyd listen to journey. but really, i was quite thrilled by the new single and even some of the new peel session tracks. if they pull off one or two more great peel sessions then they might even come to rival OMD and Gang of Four as the bands to have made my favourite peel sessions recordings. rah! actually the Go4 Peel disc is probably my favourite thing by them. CarsmilleSteve said that on first hearing shoot the sexual athlete sounded like pavement, jay said that it sounded like something else. to me it just sounded kind of crappy and thats saying alot since they stuart says 'pere ubu' in the song - kind of makes me wonder about Carsmille's opinion of pavement. also, i heard the spiral stairs solo record (preston school of indusry) and thought it was kind of ok, better than the malkmus rekkid, but not fantastic. comparatively, the rest of the session is absolutely stunning. woo. someone said he got stopped for potentially 'coming back for more' ta' s t e ve n *identify the film quote for a special prize. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I even wore a shirt! but I don�t mind it, it�s the tie I don�t like� every time I went into a shop, I came out feeling more and more dejected. I don�t think they appreciate how scary it is to go in and buy a mars bar, let along a job. So i returned home, without even an application form, and had some custard creams, and watched tennis, which is really fab, even though i don�t play it. Watching tennis is as fun as my holidays get. Except, at 1 in the morning, me, Mr Happy, Chrisi Lion, Paddington and Mr Cheetah had a picnic on my bed! It was very fab. I pretended to be Mr Ally for a while, but gave up trying to pull off being grate & gorgeous. But I did get lots & lots of ice � cream for us all. And we had Flinstones ice poles, which are gorgeous when held under a hot tap for about 20 seconds & mushed with your own hands. Chrisi got a wee bit of chocolate ice cream on his nose, bless. Chrisi�s a star, by the way. Hefner played, and we all (not Hefner, silly) sat in a circle on my bed and read Sinister posts, through the magic of WAP. The Sinister site is so cute, Honeybunny doesn�t deserve enough Haribo. Paddington was on his side, and we thought it was unfair to drag the picnic on. And all the ice cream was gone, anyway. But today, we�re going to watch Spider and I�m going to make jelly!!

Bournemouth was fun but I was on my own and am very shy so hardly talked to anyone either. Felt a bit lonely. Couldn't go down on beach as had to go back to London which, again made me sad. The 2 people i did talk to were two girls I met beforehand, just outside the conference center. They asked me how much my t-shirt cost and I said £14, that being what it did cost. Them and me then got a bit lost finding the pavillion and I hardly said anything due to almost clinical shyness. I wish I had and that I had got to know them better. They were the one in green that Struan put in charge of the people on the stage and her friend, in case you were there. I really liked them but I'll never see them again so there you go. I wish I wasn't so bloody shy. Just in case, if you asked a lost-looking boy in a fidddlychlap t-shirt how much it cost, it was me and hello. Now, Bournemouth gig was v. nice and was very good and frankly, that's as far as my reviewing skills go. Before I went to bournemouth, I went to the R!A!H!, which I enjoyed a bit more frankly. I bought all 8 posters and my fyhcywlap (it's a small town in Wales) t-shirt. I also bought an Ampersand t-shirt at Bournemouth. Got back to London from Bournmeouth at about 1 o'clock in the morning and found a message from my friend Anthony who said he would meet me at 8:52 the next morning for the train to Chessington South. I met him there as he said and also met my friend Edwin. The three of us then went off to chessington world of adventures which was fun but would have been more fun with some female company. Ant and Ed are geeks. They're nice and I like them but they are totally unaquainted with any girls. Going to a single sex school doesn't help them aquainted with any and neither does being very, well, geeky and unpopular. Thought about trying to start conversations with some nice people, which I can be occaisonally very good at if I get over my shyness but didn't see anyone who looked insecure and interesting enough. Got home and had a bath and went to bed at around 5 in the afternoon as I had not got to bed before midnight for 5 days or so. Got up this morning feeling shitter than ever. Realised in a horrible fit of 11 o'clock truth that all the girls and boys (with one or two exceptions) I've ever counted as friends have started really boring me and any recent attempts at getting new friends have failed miserably. Loved Lazy Line Painter Jane at the RAH, by the way, as I don't own that record and haven't ever heard it before. Never heard La Pastie... before either and loved it. Wish I could spend today lying around and phoning up peole to tell them that I can't stand them but have to help at my mum's "guild of food writers' annual summer party" but i'm getting paid for it so I'm happy. Apparently some other people's children will be helping too so maybe I'll be friends with them. Part of me wants to wander around going up to people who look nice and about my age and saying "will you be my friend?". Will anyone on Sinister be my friend? Please? I really need some Human contact and would be happy with talking to anyone new. Sorry, I sort of hope that nobody read that but I needed to get it out of me so...

Drop what you are doing and go out and get Sigur Ros's last album. It is fantastic. I found out about them about a year ago when a friend of mine I recently met at school (yes from Iceland) kept bugging me about them. Based on the music I like, she new I'd like them. Anyway, she made me a cd and I was hooked. They are very ethereal, ominous, intense, cosmic and beautiful -- all at once. It's amazing how emotion this music pulsates and evokes. Then there's the voice, it sounds like Liz from the Cocteau Twins, but I have no idea if he's a boy, or she's a girl. I can't make out a single word this person says, but it really doesn't matter. Anyway, I had to share, onto other stuff.. To whomever keeps touting the Lucksmiths (he's in New England), I completely agree. They're fun to see live. But the press keeps making references to the Smiths, I see none. None. The lyrics are very different and the music is not as layered. I saw Mogwai last week and well, get ear plugs. The poor souls in front of me (several times) bent over while covering their ears. It was as if they were crouching to shield the pain, yet they liked the feeling. I'm thinking of going to see Teenage Fanclub, how are they live?

Message-ID: <002101c1055c$ae870960$d5a57ad5@default> Hello. This is Boy G. Youth, you know, and Baxendale. Schoolboy crushes, charity shop jackets. Blah blah blah. I'm sure you remember. Have you seen a film called 'Sitcom', by Claude Ozon? No? Perhaps you should. It's quite good. What mystifies me is how so few people have realised that all Jim Jarmuscack movies are overlong slices of meaningless stylised drivel. I mean, it just seems obvious. Also, A1 are great. Hello. This my last Sinister post, I think. I've been wrong before. But here it is. Unsubscribing. No really definative reasons, just that I feel guilty for skipping posts and I can't be bothered to read them all. Laziness. It'll be the death of me. Pulmonary sloth. That's an Infinite Jest reference, by the way. Please read Infinite Jest. Firstly, Friday. I'd like to apologize to everyone at the picnic for being a bit of a passive boring git. I was actually w-a-y ill, as in spending the whole weekend in bed-type ill, but I kinda didn't realise, so I spent the whole time wishing I was asleep. So, that was bad. Sorry. Mad props, though, to Ruvi and his friend for two of the best self-conciously cool outfits I've ever seen. Others mocked, but I approved. I really did. Then, of course, RAH. Which was fantastic, really it was. Why isn't it better known how wonderful violins sound? Because they do, they really do. Legal Man is all very well, but where are the violins? I bought an record of an orchestra playing Swan Lake today, for one pound. Will it have violins? I hope so. But I don't have a record player. It's a problem. Any spares? E-mail me. I'll give you money and compilation tapes, in happy exchange deal. Almost as good as the violins were the songs Belle & Sebastian played on guitars and drums and things, all except Family Twee which was, obviously, awful unlistenable rubbish. Monica Queen is an absolute star. The Sinister singer and her two friends who danced onstage for The State I Am In are all absolute stars. Isobell isn't that fat, just plump and, more to the point, responsible for Family Twee. Struan is an absolute star. So, then goodbye. We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun. Ken is, unexaggeratedly, the nicest person I have ever met. He can also juggle seven balls at a time. Ken, respect. Sinister, I wish you well. I hope that one day a Glasgow picnic will get drunk enough to form a small regiment, find the people who beat up Jen, and pummel them. There's no reason why it shouldn't happen. I hope this everyone on this list downloads the game 'Princess Maker 2', and enjoys it as much as I do (search for it on google, or something). I hope that Peter Carter tells us all that his 'Judy and the Dream of Horses' story was an elaborate satire on, oh, I don't know, Brecht or something. Because then it would be merely bad. I hope that B&S turn themselves around and make wonderful, life-enhancing records again, like they used to. They won't, but it's still worth hoping. I wish you all well. And I don't love anyone...

It was so much fun, especially because they all broke out the guitar and played little tunes for me. We Played scrabble!!! It was ever so much fun. This girl's boyfriend, they live together has a CD collection of over five hundred albums. That's the point. Last weekend I went to Ikea and bought a CD rack. I now know I have 22 CDs. That's too few. Are you all music junkies or are you like me, saving for more important things? Off to the Music store to buy Rufus Wainwright and Bright Eyes....

Needs to get a Jobby Job Message-ID: Hello everyone. I doubt there will be much content here, so most of you can just move along to the more interesting posts about gigs, picnics, and wild, sexual behavior. What is the deal with everyone getting a job all of a sudden? I don't much care for my job. Sitting behind a computer all day is rather boring, especially if one has nothing to do. I can never find very interesting stuff on the internet, although seanbaby and the onion give me brief fixes of enjoyment every now and again. Waiting outside the Dufnermline gig all those weeks ago, some sinisters (too shy to talk to them) mentioned something about the only people who read all the sinister posts must sit at work and surf the web all day with nothing better to do. Well, I suppose I'm one of those people. I miss my job at Blockbuster. Sometimes I think about going back, but then I realize I just don't have the time. Although it did kinda suck having to watch *NSYNC and Marc Anthony videos ALL DAY LONG. And the general populations poor taste in movies ("Do you have any more 'Double Jeopardy' in?")really pissed me off as well. I rediscovered the joys of sitting around the house and doing absolutely nothing last weekend. I had so much fun doing it, I took Monday off of work. I did the same thing yesterday for the 4th, it was phantastic. My advice to all those looking for jobs, don't get them. Who needs money anyway? Somebody is going to see the Magnetic Fields, and somebody else is going to buy the new Rufus Wainwright. I enjoy the new Rufus Wainwright, it's pretty. They were both scheduled to play Wotopolava with the Pet Shop Boys, which I had tickets to, but it was cancelled. I was told it was cancelled because of Sinead O'Connor pulling out and marrying a guy, but I think it really had something to do with ticket sales. Are there enough people in America interested in the Magnetic Fields, Rufus Wainwright, and the Pet Shop Boys to warrant a festival tour? Oh well, more money to spend at that unreasonably expensive Radiohead show at the end of the month in Atlanta. Joe is having problems with friends. Joe, I'd me more than happy to be your friend, but I probably wouldn't be a very good friend since I'm about as nerdy as your other friends and I live 3,000 miles away. I wish I could be a better person. I'm kinda mean to my friends sometimes, it's actually a wonder I still have any friends at all. I just really moody sometimes, and everything they do pisses me off. How do I stop this from happening? And as for music being the soundtrack to one's life. I find that I like to listen to something to help me through rough times, not listen to something that is only going to make me feel worse (although sometimes I do anyway). I listen to belle and sebastian because it makes me feel happy. It makes me feel better once I listen to it. Sometimes I hope to live in a Belle and Sebastian world. It seems sweeter, nicer, and less complicated. Maybe it doesn't, I don't know. I'm gonna stop writing about that. I watched some of MTV2's Revenge of the Brits yesterday. Everytime I turned it on it was either Travis, Radiohead, Craig David, or a Rolling Stones video. Shouldn't there have been more? Woah, I've gone on way too long already. Sorry everyone, sorry Honey. -Matt "I don't know if you've been keeping up with current events, but we just got our asses kicked man!" _________________________________________________________________ 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.

on they came, launching into 'le pastie de la bourgeoise' with gusto...stuart looked very smart indeed in his grey trousers and didnt stop grinning all night...isobel looked mildly bored all night but very nice all the same...by the time they started playing 'theres too much love' two girls at the front were up and dancing and pretty soon the entire theatre was out of their seats and grooving like lunatics...stuart made lewd comments during 'the model' about breasts for which he profusly apologised for in a very sweet way...'slow graffiti' was gorgeous and stevies voice on 'jonathan david' was magnificent....there was a spot of schoolboy style mass whistling halfway through and stuart declared that bournemouth 'was really nice and posh, you feel like you're on your holidays'...for the cover they rejected calls for 'bring your daughter to the slaughter' and instead played made a lovely attempt at loves 'alone again or' for an engineer called roger which would have sounded ace in any circumstances but one of my favourite songs ever being played live by possibly my favourite band ever was ludicrously great...other highlights were definatly 'the state i am in' ("riding on bournemouth city buses") and an unexpected 'you made me forget my dreams'...i'm guessing the newest song, as has already been suggested, is called 'waking up to us' and from what i can remember it had a few different parts but was still quite poppy and with a prominent string section, i cant compare it to anything else because it sounded really fresh and different and bluddy marvellous...but the undoubted best part was actually getting on stage and dancing during 'womans realm'...there was kind of a rush towards the front and i just found myself clambering up with about twenty other people onto a really precarious wooden platform type thing...i hope i didnt elbow anyone in the face in my eagerness...everybody was dancing and you could feel the wood underneath juddering in a scary way...there was one poor security guy with a tetantive hand checking the vibrations in case the whole structure collapsed...just to add to the tweeness of it all i nearly stepped on somebodies inhalor so i carefully placed it on the side out of the way on dancing feet...i hope the owner recovered it and didnt have any B+S excitement induced asthma attacks....in the end i think the whole lighting structure was in danger of collapse so we had to get down...but then they finished off with a absoloutly brilliant 'legal man' which i've never been that keen on but hearing it played live with fantastic amounts of percussion it was a wonderful way to finish the set...we had to lay on the beach for a while to get our breath back afterwards and see if stevies promises of a beach party were kept...if it happended we couldnt find it but it didnt matter because it was just fantastic...i got home at about 1.00 am, emptied the sand from my shoes and fell asleep...i still cant get over the fact that i was up on stage dancing in the middle of a belle and sebastian gig....it was a marvellous day... ta ta... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

(for those not in the know, that is the name and call of a fierce combat without contact martial art, used by Commander Harris*) So, thats it. Finished. No more B&S gigs in the UK until...quite some time. Sob sob sob... However, Sinister continues to be full of excitement and inspiration and fun and sauciness and haribo so all is not totally lost. Now we have much time on our dainty, twee hands (OK, so some of you have jobs but come on, it's summer, you won't be actually working or anything) I think we could have a wonderful, happy, friendly picnic. And then, we could skip merrily along and beat the living s??t out of those nasty, brutish, moronic swines who hurt JENOWL. And write "sinister" on the pavement next to their limp bodies in ribena...heh heh heh... To the person who said they couldn't connect with B&S because the songs are unrealistic, you're obviously not looking at the world through "Belle and Sebastian Twee-Goggles", you can borrow mine if you like but return 'em fast, the world's a mighty frightening place without... Unless you happen to come into contact with Slipknot. I was going to picket Slipknots tour, by the way, with a sign saying, "if you really want to scare us, play some good music" but I realised a) they can't read with those stoopid masks on, and b) I would most likely get my corduroy-clad ass/arse** kicked, probably by the very same muggers of Jen. Sorry, did someone say they liked slipknot? Oops, er... run. :-) Someone mentioned Hello Kitty. Phew! I thought I was the only one. But don't forget H.K.'s counterpart, Karupi! *Commander Harris is a friend of the Rottentrolls. The rottentrolls is a childrens TV program that is (or used to be) on channel 3.

(in her nice blue shirt and piano tie). they all got little medals like you win at 5-a-side football competitions. struan TOOK HIS TOP OFF! lovely! played a couple of songs topless - chris jones looked as if he was about to faint. and he took all 36 photos on his film before the grand finale...... 'don't stop me now' by queen. with STRUAN DRESSED AS FREDDIE!!!!!topless, wearing a moustache, cape (well, a towel draped over his shoulders) and a pretty silver crown, which he threw into the audience. other highlights: -the band doing 'jilted john' by jilted john, with jilted john (AKA brian appleton) singing while isobel, struan and a roadie jumped about and did backing vocals. -fireworks!!! a bit a shock for everyone - especially the band. loud bangy confettiness at the end of legal man. - slow grafiti (which was double nice cos we asked struan to do it at camera obscura), dog on wheels, state i'm in and the new one thats not 'i love my car'. -additional medals for the fans in the front row who'd been to all (or almost all) the gigs! -struan taking off his top. did we mention that, oh yes, we did. but still, eh. nudge nudge. shame isobel didn't follow suit. :o) -struan changed the 'ten biggest wanks'line to something about travelling up the A12 to ipswich. and promptly forgot the rest of the verse. -richard's comedy painful facial expressions. -stevie's elvis impression -especially in legal man (feather boa wore her elvis t-shirt especially, ahhh!). and his random apologies and rants. bye bye stuart h and feather boa. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Unfortunately, this post contains no toplessness. But thank you to all for the vicarious living of the last few weeks! i can only hope that this fall will bring a US bonanza, with excited americans posting all sorts of nonsense. but no ribena for us, please. so this list is quite an interesting thing. i am quite pleased to have joined. it seems to strike a mighty sword at a curious problem. i mean, art and especially music have such a tremendous and personal impact on its audience, and it quite seems to shape and transform and make sense of our lives, but as audience and viewers, we are curiously unable to do much but consume said art. which is really weird to me. now, i see nothing wrong with consumption itself, (as opposed to my wannabe anarchist days), mostly because there seems to be no way around it. the problem seems to be when it is done to great excess, or in mindlessness, or without a proportionate amount of production that makes one feel less like a big ol' grouper fish sucking in all that it sees swimming by. but me, (as an uniterested example, of course) i am wholly unmusical, cannot even whistle a tune properly, yet music is a tremendous force to me all the same. but i have no way of interacting with it save blathering and dancing along. but this does little to counteract my feeling of, wow, there's this huge part of my life, but my only way of participating in it is to consume consume consume. but then sinister seems to me to solve a bit of this. the gig reviews especially. suddenly, we are not passive listeners, we (ok, not me at all.) are roving reviewers, critics gallanting off to wonderous places to make friends and spin personal worlds out of impersonal art. this wannabe indie kid i once knew thought he had the perfect way of illustrating the production/consumption art paradigm. he ate his photographs while walking to his class. so when the prof asked for submissions, he grinned, "i just ate them." which is completely pitiful, but i'm a bit impressed all the same. but i try not to be. in other news, i must agree with all who dare say that the new single is more than a bit pants, but i for one, sunroof, steven, am still enamored with 69 love songs. not that i can make myself listen to it much anymore. and thank you to grainne, for if you click on the business card offer at the bottom of her mail, you will find nothing less than a business card with a color photograph of two white male suited hands in firm handshake! and it can be your card for your fictional job for only $4.95! we may not have b & s tours, but at least our capitalists are of the finest sort. in sinisterese, kyla __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Ipswich. Better commit a few highlights to paper before another shite day at work erases some details. My seat A12 (at the end of the A12) was nowhere to be seen, having been removed, so I had to content myself with leaning on the front of the stage about 6 feet in front of Stuart, Stevie & Mick. I think I was actually hearing them sing rather than via the sound through the PA. The sound generally was great, all instruments & voices audible. A bit of an end of term atmosphere at this the last gig of the UK tour, the boys & girls on stage having fun. So you get Isobel pogoing during the band backing John Shuttleworth as Jilted John performing that Gordon Is A Moron song, Mick leaning on Stevie whilst both rocking out on guitars during Legal Man, & they closed with a version Of Queen's Don't Stop Me Now led by Sarah (it was her choice on that Beat Patrol programme), Andrea (?) the flautist in a glittery Freddie Lives tee-shirt & Dervla from the string section. This number also saw topless Stuart striking Freddie poses in a tinfoil crown and pretend cape, with a stick on moutache & the top half of a mic stand. There was a new song called The Season Has Arrived. They played The State That I Am In. Stuart took his black polo shirt off after dancing around with Stevie Dreads during the Jilted John song & talked about his nipples showing above his guitar. During Legal Man whilst playing his Phil Lynott perspex bass he stepped to the edge of the stage, turned around & laid back on top of the crowd. (Well, me & the people just to my left) Chris & Mick were dancing like mad during Woman's Realm - Chris even did a twirl. Stuart & Isobel awarded medals (from a glittery silver pencil case) to the crew & even to some of the kids who had been regular attenders. They were athletics medals (Stars Of ......?) with "B & S Trooper 2001" on the obverse. I never noticed before that Stevie plays great intricate bass on The Model. I finally got to see Richard gurning. Mmmm. Knackered.

Mooro: intricate bass - yes, I noticed this at the Glasgow gig - BUT I felt that he was kind of ruining it, missing out important chord moments etc. May be confusing this, though, with the disaster that was OMISSION OF F CHORD IN CHORUS OF 'THE WRONG GIRL' WHEN PLAYED LIVE. Let the 'band' produce a "spokesperson" to explain THAT fiasco. Ipswich - somebody tell me what it's really like. There's probably an ep to be written about Ipswich. I was thinking of going myself, but I wound up making endless photocopies in a thunderstorm, and walking home through the city centre thinking, London in the summer - yes, despite everything, I like London in the summer. It makes me think of Madonna jogging in 1990, and 'The Power' drifting over the back walls. Why did those folks in the estate always play their music so loud? It was loud to me, so how loud can it have been to them? Weather fine. Duller today but still lush and humid. John McEnroe: Classic as commentator. Never heard anything quite like it, not even in the more in-yer-face world of footy. Spiky and intrusive, but intelligent too. He even mentioned 'my old pal Andres Gomes' the other day. Loss of Capriati: awful. Surely only dolphin boy was happy with that. Music everyone should go and rediscover: aspects of solo Macca / Wings. 'Tug Of War': best melody of 1980s? Just think about it. VENUS & MARS LP: magnificent title track only about a minute long, and 'Magneto & Titanium Man' = [yet another] early 'BWTAS'. Pinefox country CD now a collectors' item and one of a kind: have accidentally screwed up computer and lost files. (I mean 'lost' rather than 'destroyed', but it comes to the same thing at the moment.) I say, Honey, auction for $5000 at George Jones gig. Make luxury Edinburgh apartment improvements on proceeds. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

I'm obviously not as obsessive as everybody thinks I am. That's not true, I'm just also obsessed with sleep. Wow wow wowwy wow! I never thought anything could top Scarborough, but this was just amazing! How could Ipswich possibly stage something this good? It doesn't seem right. Well, I will try and remember some stuff that (hairy) Stuart, Feather Boa and Mr. Moore haven't already mentioned. We met in the main square and I went to fetch my new found friend Marianna from Christchurch Park. We sat and rambled while Stuart's friends arrived in drips and drabs. The weather smelled funny and it was sticky uugh and odd. I bought apple juice before I went in. There were not as many twee people as in Scarborough, but I expected that, and it made it nicer when I did see some. Hello to Stuart with his white boy afro, I was expecting it to be a white afro and (hairy) Stuart thought this was funny. I didn't. We hung around outside while Brian Appleton played. he was great, but once was enough. I got told off for ripping posters off the door. Our seats were right at the front in a sort of non-existent space. The whole audience stood up all the way through and the atmosphere was just amazing. I also saw people in the circle dancing across all the seats! I danced the whole time even though I'd only eaten a few chips. I sweated like never before and took photos like never before, so sorry to all those in front of me who I know I irritated no end with my constant flashing (and my picture taking too boom boom) The set list was quite different to Scarborough with My Wandering Days Are Over, The State I Am In, Mayfly, Slow Graffiti and that new one which I would guess is the Spanish sounding song from the Glasgow gig earlier this year. - Stevie will have sex for £2 - Struan has lots of muscles but is also very pale - I stood next to Beans' parents who turned around when I shouted 'Geddes' very loudly - Props to Elliott from Chicago for going to all the gigs (I believe) and for dancing on the stage - Props to security for not stopping any of the shenanigans - Beans was twirling and swirling, but so was my new friend Mick Cook - Struan has a 'camp pencil case' in which he keeps his medals for useful people - Isobelle danced like crazy during Gordon Is A Moron and it was just the most amazing performance ever, topped only by Don't Stop Me Now! Words cannot explain just how good that was, and Struan dressed as Freddie Mercury/Neptune was just grate super brilliant ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.....dribble........... - I got asked for Katrina's autograph and she said I was the first person ever to ask for it and she blushed and said no, but Neil said he'd sack her if she didn't, so I got his as well! This has taken on and off about an hour to write, but I have been involved in various emergencies, so I hope honey will let me off when she realises how excited I am and that I still have to get it all out of my system. Belle And Sebastian, I love you!

I never went to the concerts so you won't hear any gushing praise from me :-(. I've been touring a play with some friends, called Raindance. It's about domestic violence so it's a bit heavy, but the soundtrack is great: 1) Eels- Climbing Up to the Moon 2) Counting Crows - Colour Blind 2) Longpigs - On and On 4) Badly Drawn Boy - The Shining Maybe not your cup of tea but I like them. I chose the Eels. After we had finished me and the girl I watch nervously from afar sat waiting for her bus. You know that feeling you get when you share Ribena with the one you love? I don't know what to do with myself, so I just came home to my music collection. All in all its a nice collection to have, a guided tour of my life in 80 CDs. I must say I quite like the new B+S single... Especially the last two tracks, and Jonathan David is growing on me. I've just finished reading Patrick Humphrie's biography of Nick Drake. Poor Nick. I've got his 3 albums, and I'm trying to learn guitar like him, but I can't play like him no matter how much I try. Mmm, just strumming for me. Speaking of biographies, I'm reading the Lives Of John Lennon by Albert Goldman. Has anyone read this? I must say it's upsetting me tremendously. I knew John was a bit nasty, but he can't have been that bad surely? Plus I dont think Mr. Goldman is very sympathetic to his subject (quite obvious when he starts to describe the Beatles as 4 little Dildo's). Oooo. I should stop reading it but I can't, I don't have will-power. Sorry to waste your time, if any of you have made it this far down my post. Has anyone any plans for a picnic in Newcastle or Durham? There has to some other B+S fans around here... Bye Bye, and I'll see you in about half a year... Luv Owen ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Came home from London and the wonderful B & S concert a few days ago and yesterday there was this pretty cool music festival in Stockholm, Sweden called Accelerator. Bands playing includes the Moldy Peaches, the Strokes, Arab Strap, Katryn Williams, the Magnetic Fields, Black Heart Procession. My personal favourite was the Magnetic Fields. They were really great. Even though Stephen Merrit didn't seem to be on such a good mood. The played for about one hour and a half and most of the songs were from the "69 Love songs" album. They were really strong live. The songs were performed with so much feeling. So what do you think about the Strokes. Apparently they are the next big thing. I mean, sure they're great and all and pretty cool but I don't know. They seem to be a bit too cool and a bit too much we're-from-New-York-and-we-don't-care. A bit too much hype if you will. But what do I know... By the way, sorry for this but if there is anyone who knows anything about an available apartment in Stockholm starting this autumn I would be more than greatful if that person would contact me in private. I'm starting school at the University of Stockholm this autumn and currently have no idea where I should stay.

It wasn't a big deal since i have seen the videos. Ok it is pretty hard to play like nick drake right on, but it is not impossible to sound like him. The secret is odd ball tunings and not moving your hands around the neck alot. I know it may seem an odd way of doing things, but the simplicity, along with the great tunings make for great pop music. So the secret to those sad jazz chords is being a bit more experimental with your tunings, and finding a perfect set of chords in one area of the neck. This also makes for any good indie-pop. Oh well. Chris P. ===== www.mp3.com/sevenstars The fog and the sunlight overshadow what is really the point sometimes. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Rumor has it that Madeline has a frisky feline as a pet. I fear that our foul fowl has now been turned into a Parker Parfait, a topping for Longfellow Linguini, or Sandburg Stew after it was snuck upon by little cat feet... Of course, this mischief is no surprise (nor great according to Mr. MacLeod) with the deviant doings of late. Take Primitive Painter's new brain love child of Hipflask whose first single will be "Dead Dog On Wheels." Violent Vegans indeed! Of course, it's probably better that y'all don't speak of being vegetarian frequently. Hearing about such things always increases my consumption of meat. I'll be out at a restaurant about to order pasta and then all of a sudden I will think of all you poor pasty face vegetarians in your cuffed trousers and pointed collars out there who can't enjoy a good grilled chicken sandwich or nibble on a hamburger. And to think of being vegan where it's not just meat you're deprived of. Make that a quarter pounder WITH cheese! Primitive Painter panted, "... to Miss Llew. She's all for Hipflask -so much so that we have made her an honourary member. She will be the first person to hear what we have to offer." I can't say I'm for hipflask as much as I'm all for hearing what boys to offer*. I only hope it doesn't turn out to be two stale jammie dodgers, some lint, and an old ticket stub to a matinee before Primitive Painter dedicated his life to pleasing lares and penates. I *finally* am now the proud of owner of Belle and Sebastian's latest album. (You keen observers will note I did not say single. You unkeene observers will only note that you're not wearing any clothes and you have no recollections of why or where you got that tattoo of a Richard Simmons likeness on your upper inner thigh.) Ok, ok so it's been over a year since the Fold Your Hands.. was released but I'm southern and I'm SUPPOSED to be behind the times. It's not laziness - it's heritage! (Yeah - so just be thankful I'm not backward as well & referring to them as Sebastian and Belle.) Trying to obtain the latest single has now been added to my list of TRAUMATIC EVENTS OF SUMMER 2001 right under waking up last Tuesday morning to a wolf spider (think of a tarantula which works out) trying to tap me a happy good morning on the tip of my nose. I was informed by my local record shop that they don't "do" singles. Me: You don't "do" singles? Her: No Me: You can't even order one for me? Her: No Me: Is there anything I can say here from my dazzling reptoire to make me sound clever and witty while making you out to be a dimwitted clod who refuses to help a poor musically deprived girl who has a propensity to pout? Her: No It was sad. I bought Johnny Cash's American III and grew sadder. My latest plan is to get Johnny Cash to come live with me. Whenever I snap my right hand, he'll sing me a ballad. After a while, Will Oldham will learn of this and come to join us. Then whenever I snap my left hand, he'll take his cue. Both hands snapping - voila' I See A Darkness! Until I can convince the Man In Black that he wants to ditch that hag June to spend the rest of his years with moi, I suppose I shall have to settle with having my bedroom become a regular venue for bands when they tour. Oh yes! Gavin (James McGregor Dunbar) from Camera Obscura (CO.UK) and The Bass Player (ala' That Thing You Do style) from Elixir have both agreed to play Laura Llew's Bedroom should they ever tour the US. I suspect Sebastian and Belle will be jumping on the bandwagon any day now. Arik Airated: "laura llew and i are having a b&s gig in her bedroom in north carolina, and none of you are invited ;-P. well, actually, there is one open spot for a luck attendee but you have to sit on a possibly leather chair and you need to prove yourself worthy. my suggestion is to enter the amazing transatlantic mix tape contest and try to convince her llewness of your extreme worthiness and wonder. all sales final. the management is not responsible for personal injury or lost property. thank you for your patronage" which brings me to.... ******TRANSATLANTIC MIX TAPE CHALLENGE OF 2001****** After a torrent of excuses flooded in, the mix tape contest has finally gotten it's second wind. Of course, it's not too late to enter either! I've decided to have winners from each round and then to decide the ULTIMATE winner from those. So ahead from round one are the Brilliant Bill Harris, the Wry Rachel Walther, and Jer from Cornell. Of course, I haven't let loose the fury of Carsmile Steve or the subtle tauntings of Jenny Payne or the fierceness of the boy from Ireland whose name I can't pronounce but it looks something like Grainne. Ken Chu, where are you? Laura 'meeting all of your Laura Llew needs since 1977' Honorable Mentions: *Will Porter once offered me Good Press. Or maybe he thanked me for good press. Either which way I have now twisted the meaning & filed it away for use at another time. Beware Mr.. Porter - You have been warned. Jimmy G - I hope you're wearing in your leisure suit while frolicking in London. Thanks for letting me review rape you. Bill Harris - I started reading one of your recommended reads today. There was Woo-age. There was Hoo-age. Lawrence "The Milkman" Mikkelsen - Thanks for the track list to the B&S compilation album. Ok, so I really just wanted a chance to refer to you as the milkman again. Tee hehe. Madeline for having a great cat. Meowwwww Sanders - for calling me a friend and then never writing me back.

It's a great video, made even better by the fact that the VJ, who also is vice-prez of B&S's distributor here, said there was a slight chance of them coming down here to our sunny shores later this year. But he wouldn't say anything more. *fingers crossed* I've settled into a sad winter routine of late nights and late afternoons, completely skipping that whole "morning" bit i vaguely remember. I got a wisdom tooth out, so I get to be frighteningly hamster-like for a few days. It wasn't that bad, and I shouldn't complain, but I do it so well. Are there any Sinisterines in Denver? Or near? I'm going to be there for 2 weeks and i'd love to meet some lovely Sinister folk. What happened to one of the two new songs they played at the Glasgow Uni gig? It was mostly a two chord affair with hard-to-hear lyrics but having a line that sounded vaguely like "i dont live in my house anymore" or something. Anyway, it seems they've given up the song, or maybe it'll be on the next single? It's surely not one of the Peel tracks, though. If any of you want my suggestion of a good band (okay, so probably none of you do but here goes just in case =)), check out Call and Response. http://www.kindercore.com/car.html I won't say they are as good as B&S, but then again few bands are. The band list for Benicassim lists Big Star, is this *the* Big Star? I'll be even angrier at myself for not being able to make it to Spain if they are. I've been on a big 50's/early-60's rock'n'roll lovey-type songs kick lately. Some of it's brilliant (Rhythm of the Rain, Breaking is Hard to Do) and a lot of its totally crap. For some reason I had a vision of Belle & Sebastian rocking out to "It's My Party and I'll Cry if I Want To" (or however its called). Anyways, I'd better get going. I'm sure I have something else to do. Wait, no I don't. hugs Mike __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

He may have possibly been drunk when he told me that if I didn't leave town within twenty four hours he'd show me what else he could do. I'm not sure what he meant by that. I think he was still drunk. So I went to Maine for a week. When I got back he was considerably calmer and he accepted my apology. Just kidding about the pedal steel guitar player story. I really went to Maine for a wedding. Again, no offense to the guitar player. Especially if he's an alcoholic. One night I slept on the couch. I had my first Belle & Sebastian dream! It was amazing. Dream one (hehe) involved me at a show like you lucky people. I went back to Stuart's house afterwards. It was so real. I asked him if I could talk to Isobel and he said no, she was pregant. Oh, I said. That made me very sad. And it was all very real until a spaceship came down, and Stuart said, time to get out the spaceship gun, and I said, damn, there's no such thing as a spaceship gun, this is a dream, isn't it. And then I woke up. Dream two was pretty special. Timothy p.s. The new Rufus Wainwright album is lovely. p.p.s. There is no p.p.s. p.p.p.s. Now I remember. Did someone send me something about some Crushlink gibberish? I can't figure out how to work it and it keeps asking me about a password. _________________________________________________________________ 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.

I am the most terrible son ever, my dad came back to the UK from Hong Kong for my graduation and the day he arrived to the UK I went to see B&S in RAH!, the day he leaves the UK last night, I went to see Radiohead, oh dear. However, the gig was fuckin' brilliant, the sky was overcast which just made the atmosphere almost perfect as they played Exit Music for a film, if it started to rain then it would have been eerie, or when they sang "rain down on me..." etc. Everyone looked into heaven hoping that it rains which was probably a first time. I fought myself right up to near the front to realise that I can't see sod all there because of tall people, so I had to fight myself right back to the back where the slope enables me to see some bits. Tall people, please don't attempt to dance in gigs, your head occupy a large enough area WITHOUT it moving about. I suppose I should thank tall people really cos after last night, my leg muscles are larger than that of the love-child of Anne Widdecombe and Venus Williams, after an hour and a half of tip-toeing exercise.

SINISTER Being the closest thing I've had to actual human contact for most of the last little while, I'm feeling somewhat gushy towards you lot, so I'll take this opportunity to let each of you know that I love you like my very own brothers and sisters, and you're all welcome back to mine any time you like. That goes double for the #sinister types who've kept me company in the wee hours, and listened to all manner of sleep-deprived nonsense. Bless your cotton socks. A NIGHT OUT I managed to get a night off this week, and on the whole, it was an absolute corker. Saw a very talented mate of mine play a gig, the unquestionable highlight of which was a cover of the ever-popular 'Touch Me' by Sam Fox. He starts out making it sound very serious and restrained, then gradually loosens his grip on it, as he heads inexorably for the chorus. A handsome reinterpretation of a modern day classic. It's a delight to stand and watch the faces of audience members change as they recognise the song that they've been studiously swaying along to for the past minute or two. Outstanding. Following which was an evening of odd, deceptive, sweet drinks in large numbers of small glasses, liberally interspersed with generous gin and tonics. The shaking of booty and the talking of nonsense also featured throughout. I'd not otherwise mention this, as it's more or less par for the course, except that a select few of us regular sorts were able to stay on after closing and have the run of the place. Many completely superfluous drinks were consumed, and the sound and light system were commandeered. My bag contained my discman, with my IYFS cd in it, so we gave that a spin and listened to just about the whole box and dice, and danced about like a pack of mad people to 'Get Me Away...' in the empty club. Not often you get to hear that out, at least not in this particular backwater. Borderline content, to be sure, but fun for the whole family nevertheless. MY OLD MAN Well, the old man turns out to be quite the dark horse. He comes to visit, and finds me in an as yet unfit state to receive him. So, I press 'play' on the stereo, and go and get respectable (or the closest approximation I can manage). I re-emerge, resplendent, to find him doing a little jig to Jonathan David. Blimey, perhaps I'm not the milkman's after all. ARE B&S CRAP? In a word, no. The new stuff is, well, new, which neither surprises nor bothers me. I think that Jonathan David is a bit of an ugly duckling of a song, and I'm surprised how much I've come to like it over the last little while. It's as much the soundtrack to my current day-to-day as anything. It's also the weakest of the tracks on the single - TYCCASI could use an ending and an original melody, but I can't help but love it, and TLOAMDR is still great in it's 'rawk-lite' incarnation. The peel session is glorious, and a pretty good example of how much more diverse the songwriting in the band is at the moment. Yes, I wouldn't be complaining if they managed to cobble together another IYFS, but they won't, so they may as well push on and try a few things out. I'm all for it. I can almost forgive them for Beyond the Sunrise. Wait, no I can't. ISOBEL'S ARSE Since there's no chance of me getting to a gig in the foreseeable, it's been grand to hear about pretty much all of them, albeit at second hand. I am, however, sick of hearing about the size of Isobel's arse. I've not seen a photograph of it (panoramic or otherwise, as some might suggest), but I choose to picture it as being just about the right size, when listening. Much in the same way, I choose to imagine that each and every one of you is the perfect embodiment of man/womanhood as I read. I'm sure I'm correct on both counts, and I'd rather not be proven wrong. PROPS To Lorraine for her smashing onstage performance. I don't know you, and I wasn't there, but someone was kind enough to point me in the direction of an mp3, and it's a tidy bit of work. Hats off. To Gordon for his last post. You've a way with words, and I don't think I've ever read any of your posts just the once. Top shelf.

Everything's all alive and buzzing. Did you see the lightning storms last week? They were swell indeed. My cat was a bit scared of them though. Also thanks to everyone who was really nice about me getting a kicking, speshly sam walton. I've had an interesting week. The blonde and I got lots of prank calls from the girls who put me in hospital, and they came after one of my friends, who was luckily ok. Yesterday I went out to the swing park with the blonde and boy shouted lewd things at us, the blonde painted my nails and I impressed her with all the words I'd learnt from Viz which people brought me to read in the hospital. Doesn't Johnjohn write really well? He does. Everyone seems to hate my goldfish; I don't know why. I gave him the name Bubbles but then I kept changing it because I got bored and because he only has a ten second memory I'm told, so it wouldn't cause him any upheaval. Only then I thought it was a bit unfair to keep messing him around like that, so I stuck with Bubbles, because I have no imagination. He's more than four years old now, I got him from a fairground in the summer before i started high school. I wasn't allowed a fish or a pet of my own, but this lady stallholder just shoved him into my hands, in a little plastic bag, and walked off. So I think it was fate that he came to be living with me, even though my parents went a bit nuts, and made me keep him in the garden shed for a year. I think they hoped he'd die but he never. He's really cute too. He's huge, with these long fins that float about and look pretty, and the biggest fishy eyes ever. And when he's hungry he looks up at you with those amazing eyes and sometimes he goes all spaz and starts banging off the walls of the tank which is really a plasic guinea pig cage because he outgrew all the normal fish tanks. Jaz thinks that he's calling the zombies to come and burst through the window, and the lovely Ian Hatcher thinks he's the root of all evil or something. But he's my fish. I had a dream that I went to live in a lift with some twin girls, to escape from Jafar from Aladdin, and we lived off Smarties, and they played Jonathon David over the intercom. I like the bit in take your carriage clock where they say "honour forbids me but homour be damned" because it reminds me of something that they said in Hornblower. I'm getting two swell things off the Internet which is highly exciting. Number one is a tee shirt which is white with purple bits on the sleeve and neck and it has a picture of shy violet from rainbow brite which is all glittery and it says Shy Violet with a little rainbow. It's grate. And the other thing is because my mum decided that I needed new shoes because of how 6 months ago I had a complex about having big feet so I bought all my shoes in the size I thought I was instead of the size I actually was (I did this with my clothes too) and when I walk my heels come out my shoes in a bad way. So anyway I'm getting PURPLE DOC MARTENS which are really really swell. I've already got tartan docs too so I think I might become obsessed with doc martens now, just for something to do now that I'm bored and I can't go out on my own. Gosh this has been a long post. Sorry if I bored you. Hugs, Jen Ps. Julian Danskin went to jail. I'm glad. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <03754DDCC645D311AA6700805F854E4302775542@lotus.ntu.ac.uk> Well, the tour's over (I do enjoy starting posts by stating the blindingly obvious, it saves me scaring people off reading them until at least the third line). Some thoughts. B&S are better than ever live. I realise not everyone agrees with me on the superb brilliance of the latest EP, but this is certainly no time to desert them for pastures new. The gigs were excellent, I met loads of lovely people, made new friends, and met up again with old ones. Despite being rat-arsed for most of the weekend in London. Hope to see you all again soon. Mr Moore, do we take it that the new Spanish-sounding song they played in Ipswich wasn't the same new song they played in Birmingham? The Birmingham one appears to have been the one with the 40-piece orchestra on the recorded version, possibly called I'm Waking Up To You, although Stuart did say they hadn't decided on the title yet. But it sounded potentially superb, whatever it's going to be called. On the Beat Patrol programme that B&S did for Radio Scotland back in '97, Sarah choose Queen's Don't Stop Me Now as her song, and then went on to say that she would love to see Stuart dancing around the stage with a mic stand in a Freddie Mercury style, complete with pyrotechnics; looks like she got her wish... The venues all seem to have been old-style theatres instead of more traditional gig venues. Quite why this should be I'm not sure; the problem with these venues has been the over-zealous security guards (with the honourable exception of Ipswich apparently), but there's not much the band can do about that. Likewise, there's not much they could do about the acoustics at the Albert Hall, but then I thought they sounded fantastic that night anyway from where I was standing (i.e. about 2 feet above everyone else in the crowd...), and it's still worth playing there for the special atmosphere of the place. I'd like to see them play outdoors on their next tour (maybe they could headline one day of Nottingham's City in The Park next year, and they could choose the other bands on the bill that day themselves?). Oh, and did noone go to Cardiff? We haven't heard anything about it yet! I'm far from convinced about having a comedian as their support act. Fair enough, the band members must like him, and he was quite good; but they must realise that many fans are going to go to several gigs on the tour, and seeing the same comedian do the same routine 4 times in a week just doesn't work as well as it would with a band. And Isobel, cheer up! You're sitting on stage in front of hundreds of adoring fans who've paid to see you play the beautiful instrument between your legs, you could at least smile while you sit there and stroke it. Maybe she should copy Richard's comedy facial expressions... Incidentally, since people keep going on about Isobel's arse, and whether it's too big, too small or just right, maybe a picture should be put onto the bodyparts page so everyone can decide for themselves? Brazil. There have been a few people talking and rumouring about B&S playing a gig in Brazil later this year / next year. Well, let's get this out into the open; according to the management on the beach at Scarborough, they will soon be playing in Rio De Janeiro. This is not confirmed, so don't get too excited just yet, and please DON'T EMAIL NEIL (OR ANYONE ELSE) ABOUT IT! It's probably no more likely to happen than when they were planning on doing a tour of Britain by hiring out a boat for a couple of weeks a few years ago, and that never happened, so don't get your hopes up too much just yet; but we were told it from the horses mouth. So watch this space. Dreams. I suppose it was inevitable that after all the gigs recently, B&S would intrude into my nighttimes as well. It was after a show in Manchester, I was hanging around after the gig, when the band came back on and played some more songs for the thirty-or-so of us still there. First they played New York, New York because they thought it was appropriate (obviously?), then Brown Sugar, Suspicious Minds, and a few others. Somehow I ended up standing next to Chris while he played his organ. The cello which I'd taken to the gig (as you do?) got smashed. And two girls who looked familiar (but I'm definitely not telling you who...) asked if I wanted to come back to their place after and said they liked me and we could "get quite close, if you know what I mean". Unfortunately I woke up a bit too soon... Looks like I'm going to have to stand up again for the rights of tall people. The way we are treated is shameful. We are fed up with having shortarses push past us to the front at gigs. As an economically-disadvantaged minority group (have you any idea how much it costs to get shoes in a size 13?), we feel our rights are being compromised. If this continues, there'll be riots. And the police will have to erect extra-high barricades to stop us. Thank you Llllllllaura Lllllllllllllew for the best subject line for ages, and a post to match. Remember, the Jonathan David single is available on mail order from listees in Britain, and the commission charged isn't financial...

Message-ID: <001801c10884$47746440$46225ad4@pbncomputer> Sorry for bombarding your inboxes, babydolls, but I have just found a very special childhood book, the Pooh Cook Book, filled with winnie the pooh stuff. As I have come to see you guys as the extended family I never had, I thought I would intimately share with you the recipe I remember best as a child. Kirsten Kenyon said: "I'm the same as when I was eight years old", well, I'm pretty much the same as when I was four. You should all make these, (especially a certain list mummy for her namesake) they are scrummy. HONEY COOKIES 8oz/8 rounded tablespoons of self raising flour pinch of salt 4oz/115g butter (don't let me see you touch the margarine) 4oz/115g/4 rounded tblsps. of soft brown sugar 1 solitary egg 1 generous tablespoon of HONEY. Mmm...maybe a little more... few drops of vanilla essence. Oven preheated at 180 deg.C Sift flour and salt onto plate. Beat butter and sugar until soft. Cruelly crack the lone egg into a little bowl with vanilla essence and mix slightly, then gradually beat it into the butter mix. (another childhood memory: the butter and sugar mix is really nice, I would dip your finger in before you put in the egg) Add the flour to the butter/sugar/egg mixture, half at a time. Spoon out rounded teaspoons of mixture and roll into little balls. Put them on greased tray, about 6-8 at a time, and squidge them down a bit with your fingers. Put them in the oven for 12 minutes. This is good because when your friends come round you can eat the first ones and by the time you've finished there are some more hot ones to come out. But they are very hot so if you are not already a grown-up, get one to help you. They are best eaten with a glass of milk but if you are a grown-up they make great comfort food with a mug of hot milk with honey and whiskey in. Also, great for picnics. Winnie the pooh picnics, wouldn't Mr. Swells be pleased... Kisses Corduroy boy Tom P.S.

(and hello to one and all) I don't have much hate inside me (I hope), but I do have enough for all your automobiles (and Struan's) and therefore I am unable to have any affection for his new song. It all started when I was dead little. My Dad is a *classic* car nut. His particular hobby horse is Triumph's. I've never known him have less than about 7 cars, and spent a large portion of my childhood lurking in dirty garages while he and my sister tinkered around on *head gaskets* and *carburretta's*? Trouble is they only ever did half a job, and what should have an hour and a half journey from Manchester to Nottingham regularly turned into an overnight disaster epic: overheating, broken springs, cracked gear boxes, fallen off exhaust pipes were regular occurrences. I was regularly car sick and so wasn't allowed any breakfast if a long road journey lay ahead. As I got older I was expected to help resolve these calamities. "Have you got any chewing gum?" my dad would ask as he attempts to fix said head gasket, "just crawl under there and hold this torch" at 3am on the Snake Pass between Glossop and Sheffield. I also started to notice how angry drivers get with each other , shouting and getting all pent up with frustration and rage (not very nice or healthy). Cocooned in their own comfy little box thinking the world revolves around them - makes me mad! Pedestrian rage Raaaaaagh! And then there's the environmental impact and the carbon monoxide (i had quite bad asthma too) and the way people brag about their cars and use them as a status symbol. So that's why I don't cars. OK. I feel better now. I don't mind buses though, and trains and boats are fine, especially boats. I likes boats. Who speaks in favour of le voiture? Ben p.s. can anyone give me a lift home? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: Well its been quite sometime since I have written anything, albeit a e-mail, letter, poem or story. I feel as if I have not used my brain in any serious capacity with in the last 6 months. This is not something I feel proud of. It is just I have no inspiration or drive at this present moment. Living in the 21st century is not quite the romantic vision one pictured when growing up. Data entry work and incredibly skewed wages across the board still plague my everday. The trendy hipsters with daddy's money and all the time to search for their artistic niche still haunt me everyday. We take a band such as the strokes, people actually call them a real NYC band( when really no one's heard of them here ). 3 rich kids from the upper west side and a front man schooled in switzerland who's father is the founder of elite models, are the farthest thing from being from the L.E.S. I know I am just bitter because I have to earn money and put my creativity to the side. But this is just the way the world works, Especially in this image crazed land named America. I am well aware that this is not the brightest post, but rather just an impulsive rant. Just wanted to let you know what the feeling is on this side of the pond. All else well and looking for the certain something.

Since then I've had loads of replies from people who want to hear the session. To cut a short story even shorter, I can't be arsed making a whole load of CD-Rs and posting them to every corner of the globe (not least because I don't have a CD-writer!), so I've posted all the songs as MP3s on my site (www.belleandsebastian.freeserve.co.uk) There are 13 songs (including the unreleased 'Paper Boat' and 'Poupee de Cire, Poupee de Son') as well as a load of old faves and some French wittering. The session was recorded in 1998 for a French radio show for those who don't know what I'm talking about. Anyway go to www.belleandsebastian.freeserve.co.uk and follow the Downloads links and you'll find out more. That is all.

I have written before. that's usually an appropriate thing to say in a first post isn't it. To get it out in the open that you're new and feeling a bit vulnerable. I could have done it as a p.s, but i felt, what the hey, be brazen, and proud that until this point you have run away from computers. I am try not to be twee, but i have always had the idea that computers cause cancer, and it is only now that i am allowing myself to step nearer to the screen. Also i am convinced that computers work in reverse, and that, rather than us looking at webpages, it is the webmasters who are looking at us. Which makes me nervous when i go onto people's homepages and actually read their factfiles in case they think i am a sad obsessive who spends their days searching for sites with interesting information about how to grow ginger. Belle and sebastian. Where can i start. they have got me through so much. Actually, i shouldn't say that since i'm sure lots of you have had a lot worse. But isn't it great when you know that if you are feeling absolutely rock bottom there will be a way to at least raise a small smile as Stevie hits the bottom note on legal man, or with the zip noise on Expectations. Only, like penicillin, i reckon belle and sebastian should not be used too often for medicinal purposes or super-depressive-bugs will develop and leave us crawling in a sewer of mayhem with no chance of struan's strong arms helping us out. aaaah. they did look nice. particularly in scarborough. where i danced most merrily in the aisles, did a touch of pillar dancing and ate candy floss. Glasgow saturday was good too but that was long ago, and i can tell your patience is growing thin with this extra long post fom a new person. you need sinister status to do that. so long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, adieu, ( to yu, and yu, and yu and yu and yu) Tara For fuck's sake. It's only a cardigan. _________________________________________________________________________ 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.

I'm feeling a bit sulky about the way B&S took to hanging out with listees and gig goers down in darkest England, but they didn't do the same when we went over to see them in Scotland. They must have seen me coming or something. But still, I have the idea it's better not to meet your idols. Yesterday we went to see Magnetic Fields. They were supported by Tendertrap. Tendertrap are Amelia Fletcher's latest band. Amelia looks almost exactly like she did when I saw her in Barnstormers fronting Heavenly ten years ago. Which is strange. The band sound basically like Marine Research of Heavenly, with maybe a slightly greater interest in electronics. The Magnetic Fields themselves were grate, as they say. Don't lots of listees hate them? I think they're just inventing a Magfelds/B&S rivalry because Stephin Merritt and Stuart Murdoch are the two greatest songwriters of our times. It's a Beatles/Beach Boys thing. But I say, why have one when you can have both? Anyway, on this occasion Stephin Merritt was a bit poorly with some kind of food poisoning he'd picked up in Scandinavia. So he was dosed up to the gills on some kind of medicine and had to let Claudia Gonson sing a much higher proportion of songs than normal. Which suited me, as I could drown in that woman's voice. For all that I love the Fields on record, live they are such a stronger proposition. With just four of them on the stage they manage to create an amazingly multilayered sound. I suppose a lot of this must be down to the two ones who let their musical instruments do the talking. Anyway, they played lots of lovely tunes, including some by the 6ths, with Amelia Fletcher shyly coming back to sing the song she apparently does on one of their albums. Rener made a new friend who it somehow became apparent had kept going to gigs to see the Mull Historical Society support someone, only to arrive late and find the headliners already onstage. He then told her an amusing anecdote about the time he met Isobel Campbell, but that's Rener's story so I'll let her tell it. Did you hear that Delia Derbyshire died? Did you ever hear of Delia Derbyshire? She worked for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in the 1960s and performed the original music for "Doctor Who" using a range of tape loops and oscillators and things. One thing that's funny about her if you ever see old pictures of her is how much like a random lady member of B&S she looks. See for yourself at http://www.deliaderbyshire.com/ This has gone on a bit, so now it will stop. bless you all, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I'm not a fan of summer. It's too hot and sweaty. I prefer autumn, when I can snuggle up inside under my quilt, against the rain and the wet leaves. Can't we just get this season over with?# Of course, *soon* this city will be full of tourists. Fuller, I mean. It's *always* full of tourists, but in summer you always get all the arty, English ones. At the moment, it's just full of French school parties. They wear denim and crowd me off pavements. I keep looking round the city to see if I can see anyone else who looks like a Sinister person, though. Normally I don't manage, even though I *know* that several other listees live and work here. I did see a B&S fan in the supermarket today, though. The weather has been hot and foggy, which is just horrible. At least if it's summer, can't we have lots of nice fresh thunderstorms? Yes, I know. No content. I was thinking: we've just had that lovely UK tour! And it's all over. Well, for me it was over ages ago after the final Glasgow gig---well, it *seems* like ages---so it must be time to get back to long, rambling, content-free posts again, mustn't it? Incidentally, the Sinister website now has pictures of *everyone's* favourite listee, the furry and honey-coloured Belle. She really should have her own email address, so we can all send her our crush votes. We did have a thunderstorm the other week, I admit. I was woken, terrified, in the middle of the night by it. The cat was unmoved. He sleeps on my feet. I was getting my groceries, just coming through the fruit and veg section, when I saw a woman walking the other day. Uhuh. Something's niggling at me. What is it? She's got a badge on! A B&S website/underground badge, as sold at all the best UK tour venues. As did I, in fact. I tried to walk back and forth in front of her a few times, to see if there would be any flicker of a notice, if she spotted my matching one. I don't think so. She pushed her basket towards the checkout with her toe. Why can't we have hot, dry, blue-skys summer days? That's the sort I hope we have for our forthcoming PICNIC which everyone is invited to. If you can't make it to south-east Scotland for July 28th, you'll just feel left out. You know you will. Yes, everyone on the list is invited, even if you're just a lurker. Even if you were in the Sainsburys at Meadowbank this afternoon. See, I had to put another picnic plug in there. Sorry, everyone. I would pray for nice weather, but god thinks i'm an abomination or something. I looked it up. see some of you there, i hope love xx gneissy +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

But first, here's some background. I fell in love with Belle and Sebastian in the summer of 1997. I was the Music Director at a college radio station in New Orleans at the time and "If You're Feeling Sinister" came across my desk and I went crazy for it. So needless to say, when I heard that the band would be making its first trip to the USA for CMJ in NYC, I could not wait to be there. Their first performance in the states was at a TV studio- the taping of an episode of "Sessions from 54th Street" I think it was called. I was at this show and it was fabulous, but I do not think it ever aired. So my first question is: What ever happened to this performance? Are there copies circulating? Why did it never air? Any information of any sort would be much appreciated. The next day (I don't remember the date), I saw them play in an old church and it was even better than the TV taping. They played two nights and I attended the first night. I even managed to jump on stage after they were done playing to snag the hand-written set list. I would love to get a copy of this show if anyone taped it. I don't have much in the way of trades, but I do have some live Neil Young, Flaming Lips, and Neutral Milk Hotel stuff that's very good. I could also make a copy of the setlist if you care about that sort of thing.

Yes me! You know, the one with the - that's right - and the "monkey beans". Yes. That's me! I've been condemned to the sulphurous depths of List Purgatory for a few weeks, after forgetting to resubscribe when I left University, and am still rather sore. It's terrible down there in the fiery depths, I can tell you! Honey danced on all my soft spots wearing her stiletto heels and made me call her "mummy". Oh! The indignity! So I'm here in Kidderminster, working in the petrol station again. It's not totally boring here, though. We found a shrew in the petrol station last week. Today I had to fill up for a lady who was allergic to petrol. On Wednesday the lady on the fish counter married her late husband's brother and he died the same evening. Honest. That's pretty dramatic, but it is mostly boring here. Anyway, those girls on the fish counter are all the same. I rather terrified a customer last week because she was wearing a Belle and Sebastian bus t-shirt - a brown one - and the shock of seeing one of these in Kidderminster almost made my feet fall off. People round here only saw toothbrushes for the first time last year, and they still only use them to polish their mangles. Well, I confronted the girl. "Hey! Belle and Sebastian! I saw them in London last Friday!" "Oh, I see" "Oh yes! They were dead ace!" "Have they got a new single out then?" "Er, yes." "I don't really listen to them anymore. I just wear this because I like the bus." "Oh" "Can I have a receipt, please?" Ah, the concert last Friday. Well I suppose it's the Friday before last now. It was fun. I really enjoyed all the songs, especially Lazy Line Painter Jane and I Love My Car. Even though the band were tiny from where I stood, and even though no one else was standing where I stood, let alone *dancing*. Thank you Sarah, Alix and Vibri, by the way, for having me stay in your house and sleep in the incredibly comfortable bed. And hello to everyone I met, whether you were from Finland or from just down the road. The recorded voices on the tube are okay, I feel almost certain they do want me to mind the gap, but the man at Birmingham New Street who tells me he is very sorry that my train has been cancelled is a liar. He's not sorry at all. I was walking through Nottingham one time and heard a van parked in front of McDonalds. It was a Securicor van and its electronic voice was saying, ever so calmly, "Help! Help! This vehicle is being attacked. Please call the police!" Nobody believed it, so they carried on walking. The driver had been locked inside automatically and looked embarrassed. I didn't call the police either. I went home and ate some mashed potato.

I'm graduating on Thursday, so its going to be long flowing robes, and mortar boards and diplomas and photographs and videos, and all sorts of stuff like that. And a brief encore to say goodbye to all my pals again. Went out and bought some nice wee cards yesterday to give out to people I know at uni, and wrote them all out with my address and e mail addy and a little congratualtions greeting. And got my teachers and lecturers who have helped me out over the past four years some nice cards as well and posted them. Got a haircut and went to dentist. The dentist noticed a defect in my teeth, and she sat scraping away, and knocked a chip out of the enamel on my tooth that hurt when she did it. So now I have a tiny wee nick in my tooth, about the size of the bottom of a matchstick. I've got to go back later on in the summer and have them sorted out. I met a kitten last week. you'll appreciate its name: Dylan. The owners though, I doubt they named it becuase of the B+S song. But I thought you still might appreciate the name and stuff. Still job hunting. I keep finding jobs suitable for other people, but nothing for me yet. My time will come though I'm sure. I need to get a job to pay off my last phone bill which was ooooh.. sky high. Anyway, I'll go now, and ride off into the sunset in my mules.

The list is endless. How eccentric do you have to be to get called eccentric by Sonic Boom? That was a very nice piece by Mister Boom, quite moving, especially the bit about crying into her washing-up. I'd never heard of Delia Derbyshire before today, and although I still think someone made her up, from now on whenever someone mentions the word "Delia" I shall shout "DERBYSHIRE!" at the top of my voice. She literally made me hide behind the settee when I was little. Mind you, I liked it back there. Sometimes my mum couldn't find me. Was that B&S enough? Could someone, preferably called Keith, please tell me which Thin Lizzy records Phil Lynott used his perspex bass on? And whether the sound of the bass is affected by it being made of perspex or not. Does it make the whole band sound like the Buggles? Some time ago Mister Richard compared B&S to Sly and the Family Stone. So why are they doing Arrested Development covers? I can't remember what horrible sarcastic comment I made at the time, but I bet it was perfectly valid. I've got that White Teeth book by Zadie Smith but I can't Report Back on it yet. I'm also reading the Political Writings of Octavio Paz in the original Mexican. I just mention that to make myself look clever. I'm on page 64. What a crap tour! Thank goodness it's over.

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, you didn't even have time to get your pictures from last picnic that another one is ready. But then, it is summer time, the only time in the year we can have picnic without getting wet. Or getting reasonably wet, let's say. Anyway, I am also being selfish because I missed the last one, but then I am not the only one and Ally Cookie agrees with me and says that we should have another picnic. I can even guarantee his exclusive attendance so that is one more reason for you to come. So there. Next picnic will be Saturday 28th of July. I guess it will have to be Primrose Hill, so nobody will get jealous. (BG Mark, someone suggested me to say Greenwich just to make you cry but I am too nice to do that...However you should choose your friends more carefully, maybe ;) Details like time, meeting point and stuff to be given later on, in the meantime you can email me to beg for another day more suitable for your personal needs. (The answer is NO.) Also if anyone feels like organising some kind of dancing after the picnic, no need to say you are welcome. I could go on for ages about my holidays but that will be next week when I am back, in the meantime I will just go and enjoy it.

Apparently it will subsequently be made available on the web for downloading. I LOVE MY CAR Mine’s called Henri, here’s the ode to Max. I’m still stuck on a few of the lyrics of this deceptively simple little song, so any help with the ?’s would be gratefully appreciated. I Love My Car I love my car I admit today I've gone too far To remember myself of my little motor car I love my dog I love my pussy cat I love the rat That lives underneath the floor And makes his bed from ? ? I wish I could say the same for you The day will come soon When I look in your eyes But I won't see you I got a head Like a soaking sponge I blot it up Like a little slug I warmly hug my trivia I love my car/Carl? I love my Brian, my Dennis and my Carl/Al? I could even find it in my heart To love Mike Love I wish I could say the same for you The day will come soon When I look in your eyes But I won't see you (Trumpet break) I wish I could say the same for you The day will come soon When I look in your eyes When I can see you POLL DANCING I know that some of you just can’t get enough of that Peter Miller stuff. So whilst waiting for his next post to Sinister why not try reading the first chapter of his supremely funny novel Mucky Pups at www.badosa.com . OK, it will be familiar to those of you who’ve read Papercuts I, but its still worth a revisit for the description of the jinormous doggy jobby alone. Besides, at the rate of a chapter a month you’ll get to read the fifth instalment of Nee Nee Mun Pish/Mucky Pups long before the next edition of Papercuts hits the newsstands. There’s a league table of the most-read authors on the site. Knowing how much Sinisterines love an on-line poll/encuesta why not see if we can get Mr Miller to the top. Let the site know what you think of the story too, so as to encourage them to publish more :) BELLE THE SPRINGER Well, cocker spaniel I think, but it didn’t sound quite so appropriate. Whilst we’re talking pups, check out the (fantastically well taken) photos of the star of the Glasgow picnic on the Sinister picnic photos page. Pretty enough to win over even this confirmed cat person, and what a poser! Watch out Edna.

I grew up in a VERY rural area, some of my neighbors, whose homes you couldn't see from the road, had no indoor plumbing, but they compensated by having lots of dogs and guns (YeeeeHaw!). Anyway, I spent a lot of my time riding the bus to and from school, at one time it took one hour each way, so when I got home I would be in a rather claustrophobic state and head straight for the woods. The squirrels liked to throw things at me from their nests but the fox (B&S content?) seemed to tolerate me. My woods were great, lots of trees of course, a creek (or crick), a small cliff for climbing on, and cows that liked to gang up on me. Actually the cows kept to the pastures surrounding the woods so the only part that felt like school was the walk from the house to the trees (stupid bully cows). When I was smallest I would keep to the close-to-home bits of the forest. When I got bigger and didn't like playing war anymore I would walk about with my walkman, listening to Morrissey moan my moans and Robert Smith wail my wails, I moved beyond my woods through farther fields to other woods. I found an animal graveyard with lots of bones scattered about. Once in winter I tracked a fox tracking a rabbit (I asked him where he was going and he said he was finding something to eat so I left him to it.) Turns out I was being tracked too, three hip-high calves were following me. They got really close up but were too skittish to make proper introductions. Anyway two years ago they started putting houses in, and my trees are fewer now. The cows are gone replaced with aluminum siding. The fox is still there, for now. -kirk +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <25.17e1a533.287ce97e@aol.com> I have no idea if this has been mentioned before by other lisetees (in that I haven't posted here for a year or so), but having been @ the Retro Bar in sexy Olde Londone Towne this eve, at a Motown/Stax/Northern Soul Pop Quiz, it became apparent where B&S have ripped off Take Your Carriage Clock... from. It's IDENTICAL to I've Never Been To Me, by Charlene (horrible old early '80s Europop ballad, which my brother tortured me with daily as a sprite). And, yes, it was released on Motown, which may explain Mr Murdoch having reappropriated it. Heigh, and indeed, ho. Or perhaps the increasing level of derivation re: any B&S track post-Arab Strap is purely a subconscious thing. Who knows? Attended the Albert Hall gig with the listee formerly known as FunkySeb (who is out tonight DJing at Detox with MY records, and sulking like a child to the point that he won't talk to me right now - cheers!) and adored the fact that they finished with Everyday People, though somewhat nonplussed by the amount of bullish arseholes in the audience who seemed to neither know nor care about the band. Having said that, I wish I hadn't bothered going. If Belle & Seb really want to be a Mamas & The Papas/New Seekers tribute band, fair enough, but I sure 'aint jumping on at that particular bus stop (hi, Kirsten!). Inevitably, knowing Stu's propensity to re-record tracks to the point of ultimate blandness, the issued version of Middle-Distance Runner was cock, and it's all gone a tad "you're making me forget my dreams" for me, so I shall have to close my ears to any further B&S communiques - you know how it is when bands start shitting on themselves from a great height? They all do it. Eeeurgh. Anyway, that's just my opinion. See you on Stars In Their Eyes! I'll be Stevie "Elvis ate my vocal chords" Jackson, you be Isobel "Claudine Longet - she wishes" Campbell - assuming you're calculating enough. And have a Prada fixation. Pip pip! Stephen. PS We won the Soul-themed pop quiz, by a sizeable margin.

Too much money. Too much heroin and Black Label. P.J. O'Rourke commented: "Terryfying action/pitiful land/pitiable characters/terrible situation- Aristotle couldn't have asked for a better mix of terror and pity." I suppose that's one field journalist to another; overdosed on American Republicanism and indulging in the fear of the wider world... Brits did it last Century and Alex some time before... right through the new territories.(East not West) Each in turn go forth in laughter and anger. It sometimes goes wrong and things as 'gang aft agley'... but this man as he writes his novel... I wish I'd been there for him... but then again I'm not much use either... life isn't everything, and people look to possibilities... look for love and hope for strength. No easy ways through this watery air but it will happen. This must be a non-violent willpower. I am reminded of Iran... it's colonial snoberry; the kindness and also fear... raised people up I suppose, like the circles became tighter... individuals in a group started looking out for one another. Can humans only function in these niches? I'm not so arrogant as to look for a strategy on that. Gordon I probably just need some air... as Kathleen Raine wrote: Never twice that river Though the still turning water In its dark pools Mirrors suspended green Of an unchanging scene. Frail bubbles revolve, Break in the rippling falls, The same, I could believe, Each with it's moment gone, I watched in former years Ever reforming maze Of evening midge's dance, Swifts that chase and scream Touching their low flight The picture on the stream Heart is deceived, Or knows what mind ignores: Nor the mirroring flux Nor mirrored scene remain Nor the rocky bed Of the river's course, But shadows intangible That fade and come again. Through their enduring forms The glassy river runs; All flows save the image Cast on that shimmering screen. _ I'm afraid this is all rather twice vicarious and not even slightly Belle and Seb except for the wee stories on the sleeves. Why search for relevance if you're searching for the intangibles of truth? "They were neither his friend nor his foe; that was what was so maddening" -Robert Bingham Hope stands taller than fear... I miss you. Maybe that's why we need to believe in heaven. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I had a wonderful time at Ispwich and I wanted to tell you all about it. As we walked up from the station, I tried to pick out the people who were going to the gig. I guessed nearly everybody, because who wouldn't want to go see belle and Sebastian, and I was right some of the time. My (non-sinister) friend and I had seats high up in the circle. We played musical chairs in order to sit as close to the front as possible without actually stealing someone else's seat. And then the band came on and they were wonderful, amazing, fantastic! Brilliant opening song, first time I'd heard it and it was terrific. The only other thing I have to say is mmmmm, doesn't Stuart have a lovely body. Hello to all the lovely people who were at the train station waiting for the train to Norwich. I didn't actually speak to anyone but all seemed very nice! Hannah mentioned how attractive female B&S fans are, and I wanted to say that if the bunch at Ispwich are anything to go by, they're all adorable, male and female.

I think that's meant to be one of those trashy hatchet job biographies where at least half of the lurid details presented can be safely assumed to be made up. It's probably a lot of fun to read.

Message-ID: <000201c10abf$a8465f20$6700000a@btinternet.com> To whom it may concern, As I write this, I am listening to Barber's adagio for strings. Is it because of the awe-inspiring resonance of the piece, the way it seems to contain its own language and logic, with which it speaks directly to the deepest, noblest parts of the soul? Well, partly. Is it because every note carries with it the silent echo of eternities, an ongoing, self-renewing fusion of past, present and future? Closer. Or is it as a little tribute to poor Robert Kennedy, dead with a bullet in the brain, and a lifetime's political work condensed to a pool of blood on a hotel kitchen floor, at whose funeral the piece was performed? No. It is because this is my last post to Sinister, and if that is not an occasion which warrants a little bit of melancholy, even a little bit of melodramatic melancholy, then I confess I don't know what is. It is to be my last post because, in exactly 2 hours, I am going to the airport, where I shall board a plane and be spirited away into the clouds. When I descend, I will be in Shanghai. For three months. It all makes me feel like Scott of the Antarctic, standing with the flap of the tent open, revealing a bitter blizzard raging across the frozen plains. Frost on the moustache, barely supressed shivers, wild, emaciated look in the eyes. On the verge of death. Then, the flicker of a smile. A human smile. The eyes clear. "I may be some time." The smile dies, the face turns away, and the body strides out to meet the storm. The strings, having crescended and died away, are now resurging in one final refrain. They are talking about death and tragedy. Not a tragedy fit for weeping, but one so rich and beautiful that it thrills the spirit at the same time that it reaps its devastation. Sadness, as Jimmy Greaves would perhaps put it (segueing from classical music to cockney wife-beating football pundits; enough to induce headaches! Or, at least, mild motion sickness), is a funny old game. Why be sad at a moment of positive, exciting change? Why be sad at the moments of greatest happiness? Why this perpetual duality that paints the world in varying shades of grey (though let us not forget red and yellow and pink and green, orange and purple and blue; I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too: a world of greys would be a sad place indeed)? Because, I think, gain always means loss. New experiences are garnered at the exclusion of others, and to move on is to forever give up something of value. So, in this constant process of decision-making, every choice is an exclusive one, that is, it excludes the other possible options. So there is loss. An infinity of choices and virtually no time in which to choose. No wonder the world induces panic. Panic on the streets of London, panic on the streets of Birmingham. And Paris. And Addis Ababa. And Adelaide. And Shanghai (certainly while I'm in residence, mixing numberless worries with the beads of sweat on my forehead). I said time is running out. It always is, but particularly so now. I must go: the storm awaits, as it does around every corner. I would like to say that I have enjoyed reading the thoughts, feelings and experiences for which this mailing list (surely a loftier terms is required? I, however, have not the time to think of one) is a sort of astral, or perhaps just pixelated, conduit, immensely. Maybe I will be back in three months. If anyone wants to write to me, I will have access to my e-mail in Shanghai. But then, who would want to contact a drug-addled poser, eh? If it were me, I wouldn't. I may be some time.

Message-ID: <001801c10b15$a93499a0$2c64893e@chris> ...in my dream. Well, it is a terrible thing to say, but I'm bored, and the only thing I could think of to do was write to sinister. Is that good or bad? I don't know. GIG FRENZY I'm still in gig-mode frenzy. The only records I've listened to in the last few weeks have been Belle And Sebastian. I'm afraid I'll overdo it. I'm going to come out of the closet as it were and admit to absolutely loving Jonathan David. I think it's the best thing they've released in ages, certainly since Modern Rock Song (even though that is only two releases ago). Stevie has done admirably and I will forgive him for past misdemeanours. Mick looks sort of shy on the cover. He told me he wasn't very photogenic, but he certainly doesn't look any the worse for wear from keeping his chocolate with his shoes. NO NEW SINGLE I have Belle And Sebastian dreams all the time so I don't bother reporting on them. I did have one the other night though that is worth mentioning in a sort of Nostradamous way. My parents run a B&B, and the band had come to stay here. They were about to be on TV and wanted to come into my house to watch themselves. My dad was arranging the tele so that the sunlight caught it correctly. Mick was helping him and looking out of the window. He had a lot of loose hair on his face, I don't know why. I had just had my hair cut (in real life) and so was probably suffering from this myself. I asked about the new single and he said "och, we're not going to release one". Apparently they had recorded a song about pina colada and suicide and they had a bit of an argument with Struan about it. PHOTOS My photos from Ipswich are back. Most have heads galore, but some are OK, especially one with Struan falling back onto the crowd and narrowly missing my head! I want to write more but will save it because this is already far too long.

I find myself wanting more and more to have a friend who's on the list. Someone I can have official picnics with and brag to all of you about the shows I see, etc. (until last week I had been spelling etc. like ect. God did I feel stupid!) I guess what I am saying is that I am lonely and fiending for Belle and Sebastian. IN every way. Someone from list tried to talk to me today but I was playing The Sims so I missed my chance. I'm sorry! I didn't mean to. My parents have called on my services to go to a family reunion. I am very excited to meet long lost cousins and such. Maybe I'll meet someone who I will want to write long and detailed letters about my endeavors. To all who care, last week I wrote a mail on the way to a job interview and I just thought I'd update. I got the job and during training this guy who came into the store to get running shoes was talking to me about music and I had a heart attack when he told me to check out Belle and Sebastian. I was so thrilled to realize that they were reaching someone other than me in my small town. This makes three people that I know that I didn't introduce to them! Also, my manager loves them and plays tigermilk every day. In short, I am loving my new job! Again I would like to thank everyone for their suggestions on how to broaden my music selection, in a week its expanded from 22 to 27 CDs. Much love to everyone kate p.s. the title is about this plane that will fly for six months straight only off of solar power and fusion of hydrogen and oxygen. I thought it was too cool not to mention.

I fell out of the loop while school was being all school like and stuff. Papers and reading assignments. Quite annoying. Still, I skimmed through most of the messages I got from you all. Most of my online time was spent on other tasks, like trying to endere myself to a girl who was away. I don't think it worked, but thats life I guess. Reading about all the great gigs has made me so jelous. I just have to run to the stereo and put on the first B&S record I can find to comfort me. The only show I've seen in ages was Radiohead a few weeks ago. It was soooo great. They played the Gorge, this huge outdoor ampitheatre. It was soo lovely. It was a three hour drive, though that went quickly, as it was with the aforementioned girl. Radiohead is just brilliant live. They were even playfull, something I didn't expect. All my favorites were played. I'm sure it paled in comparisson to seeing belle & sebastian though. Oh well, I'll just have to wait for them to hit the states. Something I'm sure they will do when I go on vacation in September, which is already paid for. That is really all I have to say at this juncture, nothing exciting is happening in my life. All I do is work. 46 hours per week. That should be illegal. Oh, except I moved since my last post. I life on capital hill now in Seattle. If you're from around here, you'll know that it is a pretty cool place to live. Not that it matters, all I do is work. I guess I'll soon be known as the boy who's always working. Oh, I also bought a tennis racket the other day, anyone want to play? I haven't gotten to try it out yet. My friends all suck. Tim p.s, this will be my last post for a bit, as this account will be gone soon. Screw Qwest, they're a bunch of wankers. p.p.s The new Built to Spill is quite good. The last track almost sounds like it could be a B&S song. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <615614.995021827209.JavaMail.wls@webwl04> I was too nervous to think of a better heading Good Day to all of you. I’ve just decided to step out of lurkerdom for the first time since I joined, and I’m asking you to be gentle with me. Will you try at least? Shall I introduce myself then? I’m 21, and I live in Tampere, Finland. I joined Sinister last October, although I was introduced to the list in the summer of 98 and fell in love immediately. But I’m just shy and I think I enjoy reading these posts more than writing them myself. We’ve had two thunderstorms today and it’s still only two o’clock. I’m blissed because on Wednesday I saw my biggest ever Finnish pop hero in the flesh. I stood no more than two metres away from him for an hour and I’m still light-headed. He’s like a wee pixie It may not mean much to any of you but I’d say this pretty much compensates for not having been able to catch B&S. Then again I’m loving the gig reviews, and the photos you lucky things. I don’t think I have much to write about just now, and I’ve probably bored you to death anyway, but I just wanted to dip my toe in the Sinister water for a bit.

Ick, it's all horrific and grey outside again today. Just for a change. And the radio keeps playing all the same tunes over and over and over again. I have a love/hate relationship with summers like this, when there is nothing to do all day apart from smoke, read books and drink coffee as well as catch up with all the emails you meant to send to people two months before but never got around to it for a myriad of reasons. I am currently attempting to amuse myself by making a "Relationships are pointless" mix tape involving such classics as "You made me forget my dreams" by the adorable Belle and Sebastian as well as a nice proportion of Arab Strap and Mogwai. They're fantastic when you're feeling ever so bitter about life and love and the suchlike. I can't be doing with summer songs. They bear no relation to the way I'm feeling at the moment. Maybe when I go on holiday to a far away nice place I'll feel much better, I'm not sure yet. However, like the wonderful Mr Ken Chu (does anyone else think that his name sounds like a character out of Street Fighter who performs scary White Light/White Heat special moves? Please don't be offended Sir, you sound like a sweety and I immensely enjoy your posts. It's just an observation I made.) I went to see Radiohead last Saturday. They were truly fan-dabi-dosy, even if I did get soaked and nearly lost one of my shoes from being a short-arse and falling over when everybody started moshing to "My Iron Lung." I very much enjoyed Sigur Ros too. The lead singer is surely the most adorable thing I've seen from afar in a long time. They played one of my favourite songs (Sven-N-Englar) as well and it stripped me to the bone and sent me to the stars. However, I did unfortunetely feel a need to batter the traffic planners of Oxford City Council when I left for their appalling Park and Ride system. We managed to get to the car after three wrong buses and five abusive taxi drivers! ! later, and ended up playing Ban zai on the way home. Has anyone else seen that Johnny Vegas advert where he and a toy monkey eat crisps? Me and my best friend found it bizarre, but maybe that's just us. And here comes the flagrant list abuse time. I know that many of you lovely peeps are going to Benicassim in Spain, and me and my friends intend to as well, apart from the small fact we are going through absolute hell trying to purchase tickets as we all speak English and not very much of any other language apart from Danish. Last time we tried, we ended up talking to a French woman who didn't understand what we were trying to do or where we trying to go. Sooooo....if anyone here is from England and has managed to buy tickets, could you possibly tell me how you achieved this momentous feat? I would be most appreciative and maybe even buy you a pint if I ever manage to get there. *Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry List Mummy* By the way, the new Bjork single is cataclysmic loveliness :-) At least Radio One is good for something. Mr Peter Carter-Apologies, I am not ignoring you, and Thank you oh so much for sending me lovely manuscripts. Had people here from Cumbria and Brighton and so have not got much done recently. Expect loveliness soon. Oh, the sun is out.

Fucking. Twee. Message-ID: ...and I can prove it. I was getting on a bus the other day, grasping a tenner in a warm hand. 'Ain't got change of a tenner, mate. You'll have to go in the shop,' the less-than-cheery driver indicated by grunting 'Nah' and poking a simian fist in the direction of the local newsagent. 'I've *been* in the shop,' I said, patiently, but with a hint of dark menace in my voice, 'and they haven't *got* change.' The evolutionary throwback at the wheel waved a podgy appendage at a neighbouring establishment, as if to suggest I spend the rest of my days travelling from shop to shop in the vague hope of splitting this monstrous denomination. I cracked. 'Look,' I said firmly, 'I'm just going to get on.' and with that I marched the length of the bus and plonked a pair of righteous buttocks into a window seat. 'Eeerh! Naaah!' roared the Neanderthal indignantly. I sat my ground. The tension mounted. A pair of grannies, narked, no doubt, by the driver's pig-headedness, disembarked to continue their journey on foot. Juddering, the engine spluttered and died. I stormed up to the aisle. 'It's *legal* fucking *TENDER*,' I thundered, waving the tenner angrily in that fuckwit's mouch. 'Now DRIVE!' Unmoved, he folded his arms and prepared to sit it out. But it was not to be. A charming lady member of the proletariat, resplendent in cheap H Samuel merchandise - her ear was clanging like cutlery in a sack - came to my aid. Was it right, I asked myself, to allow so obviously impoverished a specimen pay my seventy pence toll? Of course it fucking was. This is life and I'm playing hardball. On a belle and sebbie related note, I think I speak for us all when I point out that Isabelle has a whiney, annoying, cloyingly twee voice and an arse the size of a small Eastern European nation. She can shove her family tree.

Message-ID: <20010713174243.1506.qmail@juno.com> the pinefox mentioned “strawberry wine” – which brings a good memory (thanks). my suitemate freshman year alternated between only two songs for weeks upon weeks. the two songs being: the country song “strawberry wine” and that 60s catchy tune that goes “the only boy that could ever reach (or teach?) me was the son of a preacher man.” and james thorniley had a great subject line from a weezer song, also brought back memories (thanks). david moore gave me some beautiful new b&s songs. of course they were on the internet, so I guess anyone could download them (how thoughtful) – but for fun, I can imagine they were just for me. to best listen to them, I invested in a mp3 player (ouch). but it made the 13 hour drive to atlanta like my own private b&s gig. although no cool medals were awarded when I arrived (whoever got these is so lucky). getting sidetracked .after driving through a torrential downpour on I-75 through the Smoky Mtns (how I have missed mtns) surrounded by semis, I was a bit worn out. so I stopped in the bible-belt-hot-spot of cleveland, tennessee at a gas station and bought ..a RED BULL. where the attendant mentioned that the youngins were mixing it with vodka, and I said, “oh really? what a shocking concept!” since the purchase (of the mp3 player not the red bull, silly), I have gone wild (truly) trying out new music that I found on this internet-thing .its so useful. “I was making button badges ch ch ch” – how great is that? if you’re having a dull day, add some sound effects. such as: I was tying my shoes ch..ch..ch .and so on.. jenowl likes doc martins too; they’re easy to like. I got my first pair before I moved to illinois and my mom said people wear boots and wool up there (gee, I’m glad she told me, or I would have frozen my arse off). I just got a pair of sandals as an early birthday present. though what I really liked were these pink snakeskin boots – quite cool. well the flood of sinister boys and girls (so many I can’t name you all) graduating and hunting for that ellusive species, “the job,” has caused me to join yall. I spiffily updated my resume and have mailed it out. So there’s a chance I might be moving back South soon – which is fine b/c ‘the boy that makes me sigh’ is obviously dense, scared, or uninterested. I hope it is one of the first two, but I’m frustrated (see subj line) so I don’t care if I leave this dang town. on a positive note, I hope we all find jobs where we can listen to b&s freely, like Kate:). I’ve only had two possessions stolen from me in my life . 1. I rode my bike to the computer lab one night at college. Hours later when I was leaving, I came out to find that some mean person had ripped the back light off my bike. Literally, they took just the light and left a forlorn looking light-attacher/connector to my bike. And it was at this point I realized the world isn’t always the nicest place (though now I consider myself fortunate to have lasted as long as I did), so I rode back in the dark to my apartment and felt violated. 2. The next was my first pair of doc martin boots (mentioned earlier), a beautiful burgandy leather, taken from the lockerroom at the place I swam. of course, neither of these are as horrible as the cruel person that stole Kirsten-across-the-lake’s (not pond) sketchbook. well, I have given a home to an abandoned kitty. somehow she wound up getting named foxy roxy which is a bit b&s related, I suppose. so now I have two cats, foxy roxy and dove who hisses at foxy roxy when she gallops sideways too fast. I refuse to take anymore cats into my one bedroom apartment, otherwise I’ll just be one step closer to my nightmare of becoming an old maid with a dozen cats. bye, amy ps – I really like how dIrect is pronounced in Nothing In the Silence, much lovelier than the american way shawn & emily – I will be in touch soon. I’ve been in a yuck mood since returning to town. From the look of some recent posts, I’m not the only one. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Good Day to all of you. I've just decided to step out of lurkerdom for the first time since I joined, and I'm asking you to be gentle with me. I'm 18, and I live in Paris, France. I joined Sinister approximately 2 weeks ago, I think I enjoy reading these posts. the first time i listened to belle and sebastian was approximately 2 years ago, i found a song on the internet called like dylan in the movies. i am a big fan of bob dylan so i downloaded the song and it sounded very nice, although not a lot like bob dylan. and since i have listened to a lot more of belle and sebastian songs, maybe even more than bob dylan. i was looking on the internet more 2 weeks ago and found the website for this mail list, and it seems very interesting. the photos of the people are very funny. i like the baby photos of the people. i like the things you write about also, the people i know only talk about bad things like drugs and kissing a lot of boys. i have never kissed any boys, the boys i know are always very proud and they only kiss girls to tell their friends that they kissed girls. i get jealous of the other girls some of the time but then i think i should save my first kiss for someone who is right for me. i am also very jealous of the people in uk who can see belle and sebastian in a concert, it sounded a lot of fun but i won't get to see them. i think i have written too much already i will stop now. lola. _________________________________________________________________________ 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: <20010714063348.73930.qmail@web14807.mail.yahoo.com> so it seems quite strange that not one week ago i was getting bored with the millions of sinister posts all about the same gig. and now i am contributing to the recent outbreak of new people posts. the "hello my name is... and i live.... and i've liked belle and sebastian since...." i have been pondering what sort of thing one says the first time they write mass mail to a bunch of strangers. i do not think it matters where i am from.... or maybe i just think its too dull to reveal. i would rather come across very glamourous and mysterious and all that. ......[please note that my spelling is increadibly sad and underdeveloped. kindly disregard any mistakes, and refrain from correcting them in your replies (forgive my assumption that anyone will bother to reply)]....... i have never seen belle and sebastian live. i have never been surrounded by more than one belle and sebastian fan at a time. when richard and i went to victoria the girl who worked at the youth hostel saw my shirt [formerly known as richard's shirt] and said, "ooh... belle and sebastian. they are really good" or something along those lines, so i suppose at that moment i was surrounded by two belle and sebastian fans. a record to say the least. red bull and vodka (cue ken's response) richard john gillanders is a good kisser (cue richard's repsonse) stevie trousers is far to young for me [me being aged 92] but if i were only a bit younger i might have to nap with him. (not expecting sinister post reply... but looking forward to possible email on sunday.. heh.) laura llew (spelt wrong... possibly) is bad at being a bother but well endowed with words.... . do those count as inside jokes? maybe. if this is the case then sorry, because i've just managed to leave the rest of you out. perhaps i can have inside jokes with everyone... that way no one will feel left out and i can be the popular girl. i am stopping now. yours, breanne l. day _______________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

If you've ever heard of 'jigsaws yellowing in a Post Office window' - well, the Post Office has become a hardware store. The only jigsaws there now are jig saws. I don't know whether this is good news or bad. The Geezer Miller said some things. >>> I've noticed that a lot of world leaders have names to do with ladies - Sharon, Fox, Bush, Putin. The list is endless. But it just ended, you balloon. I see 'Sharon' (hey! what a hard man!) but not the others. >>> How eccentric do you have to be to get called eccentric by Sonic Boom? That depends. Who is Sonic Boom? More to the point, where is my copy of Westworld's 'Sonic Boom Boy'? >>> I'd never heard of Delia Derbyshire before today, and although I still think someone made her up, from now on whenever someone mentions the word "Delia" I shall shout "DERBYSHIRE!" at the top of my voice. I know what you mean. I didn't believe in the Delia at first. But progressive ruralists insisted that she really existed, until suddenly she proved it by dying. I have to agree with La Winship about that photo of her. Cor! That made me wish I'd paid more attention to The Early Days Of Electronic Music. >>> Could someone, preferably called Keith, please tell me which Thin Lizzy records Phil Lynott used his perspex bass on? Keith Richards probably could. >>> Does it make the whole band sound like the Buggles? Coule someone, preferably called Peter, tell me who the Buggles are? >>> Some time ago Mister Richard compared B&S to Sly and the Family Stone. So why are they doing Arrested Development covers? I can't remember what horrible sarcastic comment I made at the time, but I bet it was perfectly valid. So do I. AD are rubbish. Was that valid? I've been reading Gravity's Rainbow because my editor will fire me otherwise. I'd like to Report Back, but I fear that he will fire me if I do. >>> What a crap tour! Thank goodness it's over. I agree. Amy Bancroft talked about Strawberry Wine, and c&w songs named thereafter. But does she know Macca's grate song 'Venus & Mars', which mentions the drink? I'll bet her $10 that its melodic content is superior to that of her country song. And I don't even have any dollars. La B also talked about 13-hour drives. If I hadn't mucked up my driving c&w booze etc project I would send her a copy of it. I calculate that on her drive she could listen to it 14 times. But unfortunately it has vanished like a goat into the machine. I mean, ghost. We have a Finnish member, I see. What I want to know is, does she support Real Moomins or Continuity Moomins? David Moore has been 'On Fire' recently. I haven't been able to follow much of what he's said, but I want to echo what Gerry Adams memorably said at the Sinn Fein Ardh Feis (sp?) when he heard that Trimble had got the Good Friday agreement accepted at his own conference: 'Well Done, David'. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Message-ID: Has anyone ever just thrown away something they have given over a fair portion of their lives and savings to collecting? Today I started to throw away nearly ten years worth of mountain biking magazines. It probably seems insignificant, but all my contorted teenage feelings of freedom and escapism are tied up in that collection... not to mention �3 a copy. But mater and pater have decide they want the space from my old room in their house to put emptiness in, and there just isn't room in my poky flat for all those cardboard boxes, so out they must go. Not before I tear out all the Mint Sauce cartoons though, pretty sad I know living your life according to the antics of a mountain bike riding cartoon sheep and his farmyard friends, but hey, somethings just reach ot and touch your soul don't they? A bit like "my Girl's Got Miraculous Technique". I've been sitting on the fence about the latest offerings, but there's something about that line, "If I could be a song I would be something that would snake in to your room and be with you the whole night long..." that just does it for me. The idea of snaking in to someone's room fitting perfectly with the sinuous, sultry rhythm. Mmmm... Well I'm going back to my afternoon of nostalgia, the B&S back catalogue, old magazines, fresh coffee, crumpets and Simon Armitage poems. Forget the pile of washing up, the overflowing linen basket and the bath that needs cleaning. Tomorrow I'm going to get up early and go for an epic ride, those tunes and pictures in my head, I'll try and make some reality of it all. Thanks for letting me share my reverie.

I dressed up, and got graduated. It was the best day of my life. I don't need to get married now. Graduating from uni is much more appealing. I wanna go again! I wanna go again! I started the day, after only five hours of sleep, and we made the long trek southwards to Norwich. I saw all my pals, hugged, kissed them all, and gave them wee cards with my name, addy and e mail addy in it. I gave my teacher this lovely cerise silk covered photo album, with bits of tissue paper between the pages, and mounted photos of the boat trip we took at the start of June as a class outing. I saw Darren, and we chatted, and hugged, and chatted and hugged some more, and grinned like buffoons and I dragged him round everywhere with me, running around, as my mum put it, like an overexcited 5 year old. I even tried flapping my arms cos of my gown. I had to. My gown was dark blue, and my "colours" were salmon pink. And I had to tuck my fringe under my mortar board hat. All those tears and stuff! All the bad things that happened to me! I mighty not have got a 1st class degree, but heck, I think I learned a lot along the way. And I got a bunch of ace pals. And I know what sort of people I don't like. Now, its over. I got the yearbook, (a directory of everyone who graduated and their addys, and e mails- a stalkers guide to UEA) a teddybear mascot (mum bought it for me. I named it after my best pal. These things need names). I got my photos back from graduation. I even got tickets for the after party, which was a waste of money, cos people just gatecrashed anyway. I got proffessional photos taken of me holding a rubber tube (oo eer missus!). I got hugs. I got love. I got happy. Now the ride is over, but in retrospect, I enjoyed it. I'm glad I stayed aboard, even when I felt sick and wanted to get off. I wanna go again! I wanna do another degree! its got to be more fun than being an adult in the world of responsibility! I wanna go and sit with my pals, slacking, for the rest of my years, discussing things that need to be discussed on a similar level of intelligence! I wanna be surrounded by young people, loads of them! I miss my pals. Especially my favourite pal. right better go now. Off out to posh dinner with boyfriend and the folks.

So few Lion (Llews) Message-ID: DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE First, some questions: Is the NME really qualified to make such diagnosis as calling us a "sick posse of f**ked in the head psycho-fans"? If so, where did they obtain their degree from? If it is the same veritable spring of wisdom and knowledge where they drunk from to be endowed with their formidable journalism and writing skills, it isn't a wonder that none of us are worried. Second, some comments: Big Stu Boisterously Stuttered: >Remember, the Jonathan David single is available on mail order from > >listees in Britain, and the commission charged isn't financial... Why, Stu, if this were an after-school special you'd pay a precious price for your moral depravity which all started with subtly hinted pathetic perversions such as this. Thankfully, I escaped the clutches of becoming another Blanche DuBois and obtained "Jonathan David" without having to rely on the "kindness" of strangers. I've heard many of a whimperer claim that this version of "Loneliness .." isn't as good as others. I don't know what kind of Hi-Fi systems you people possess but any rendition where I can actually HEAR the entire song would be an improvement over the copies I have. I kept postulating what happened to the person holding the recorder as to why the song was so incredibly uneven. Were they trying to become one with the song's narrator and just took off running jogging during the middle of the tune? Was it another case of instantaneous Stu Swooning? Even with the poor quality of my prior recordings, I still adored the song and that love has now blossomed fully with having the single. I've decided that B&S need to hire me as their new consultant. This whole music of biblical proportion idea is getting tre tiresome. Anymore, jermiads or haughty harangues from Mr. Murdoch and I shall be forced to forsake this group for something more hedonistically appealing - like Amy Grant. Perhaps they should part from the road to Damascus and try a foray into Greek Mythology. With my kidnapping adventure with Cupid, I can attest that it's much more fun. Damon and Pythias would be comparable to Jonathan David and think of all the fun rhymes with Pythias! Or don't... Perhaps they're simply caught between Scylla and Charybdis. (See! The possibilities are endless!) If my memory serves me correctly, REM might have already tried this route anyway. All it resulted in were young boys with eyes glazed over with music tapping their finger to their lips as they tried to figure out the allusions. Anything which puzzles and bewildered males is good in my book (which is filled with mostly pictures). I Love My Car I'm from the south so I know all about an automobile being closer to one's heart than your spouse or more shocking yet - your own dog. However, I'm here to tell you that such love affairs can be detrimental to your emotional well-being. You go through 160,000 miles with a car, you love it, you care for it, you lovingly call it Hubris because never before has a car had a brighter shine or a engine that purred as sweetly. Sure, there were a few scrapes when you let your sister drive and that entire ordeal about a boulder falling on the hood while driving through a canyon in Colorado, but still it's your everything. Then on a hot sultry day in South Carolina it decides it doesn't love you anymore. Your gas foot was too heavy, your braking too light, your frequent oil changes not enough, and it's sick of a tattered copy of Gravity's Rainbow sitting in the back window which is NEVER going to be read. It's moving on, sweetheart. Oh it'll run for you now but not without grumbling a curse of, "You're going to wish western North Carolina had public transportation, baby" as it finally starts with a cough. You're left scanning the newspapers for the next sale at the dealership will you'll have to settle for another car who will just leave you at the side of the road refusing to budge because you don't give it a high sheen wax anymore. Meanwhile, my friend just named his new car after me. Woo Hoo! I bet "Llewie" has a great chassis. I can't wait till she breaks his hear - Awwww yeah.... Laura 'meeting all of your Laura Llew needs since 1977' PS - apologies to Grainne for thinking she was a boy simply because I'm unfamiliar with her name. I simply thought anything which started with a "Grrrr" would be associated with males. PPS- Bre, never before have I been referred to as "endowed." From now on, you shall hear nothing but harassment and cat calls from me PPPS - I love Chrissy because he's too Prissy for anything but a horse drawn carriage _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Get me away from here Aunt Diane Message-ID: <11b.192f628.2882dd35@aol.com> Hello list of perpetual chutzpah! I've been away from you for so long. I still have over a hundred emails to read. I will not delete, not for anything. There are a few things I've been meaning to tell you but we'll start with: I'M COMING TO ENGLAND That's right. Brace yourself brits. I'd like to believe my Aunt Diane had a hand in it. We'd seen her just a few days ago and I've come to the conclusion that something about her countenance makes people want to approve of things. Peter Carter was just here. My parents sent him home a week early. Now I'm coming to see him. Rarr. Anyway I think everyone should come to blackpool and see me. Surely you have nothing else to do then? Aren't you at least curious? No? Oh well, more time to ourselves then. I've had the new EP a while now. I won't give another review but I would like to point out something I noticed. During Lonliness Stuart says "You care I know" and the second time especially it sounds like he is saying "You, Kara, I know." I submit this as undeniable proof that Stuart and I are the best of friends. I wish I could remember all the things I meant to say. The last thing I remember before my sinister hiatus was feeling confused as mr. halfabee was adressing us as if we were all syd barrett. I saw a red bull yesterday. Didn't buy any but I think I will in honor of Kenchu being exactly what this list has going for it. I think we all ought to wish JenOwl a very speedy recovery and much health in the future because we all like her. I know I do. She shared her rainbow brite site with me and for that I am eternally grateful. Shy violet really does kick ass. Dyma pish. Hey, Welsh people, is that right?

Hooray! I haven't been on holiday since 1995, when I was 16 and too busy sulking and thinking about kissing Jarvis Cocker to have a good time. The last time I saw the sea was during an ill-advised daytrip to Skegness a few years back (for our non English cousins, Skegness is a hellhole of a tacky seaside resort with holidays camps and such), where I met a girl who was going out with a friend of mine. She kept telling me about all the infidelities she had committed. Very awkward. Anyway, the Matriarch and I are off to Cornwall to stay in a B&B on the cliff top. I'm super excited as a friend of ours moved there years ago and we haven't seen her since. Also, going on holiday is a wonderful excuse to buy new books and lots of toiletries in cute, small bottles. I will get my mum drunk, which is very simple (a pint of Caffrey's if you spot us at the bar) and we'll paddle in the sea and search out second hand shops and I'll smile at cute surf boys (although things were easier when there were cute serf boys, at least they knew their place). PeetSketchPete mentioned getting rid of collections of stuff. I am going through the same trauma at the moment as I have to move house soon. I've already sorted through my make up and got rid of loads of nail polish. Then I threw away some sheets covered in hot rock burns (the ex's, not mine, I must add). And while the ex got custody of the garlic crush and the potato masher when he left, I got custody off his bong, so I'm doing the responsible thing and giving it to a 15 year old friend of my brother. My flat is such a mess that whenever I move anything I get a sneezing fit from the dust so I'm finding it difficult to motivate myself. I did find a recording of Top of The Pops 1982, which was interesting. Orange Juice featured, ripping it up and starting again (which is what I've already done with this post three times). The most horrible thing about all the moving business is I'm such a hoarder, but I just can't seem to justify transporting all this junk from one place to another. Who needs a note that was sent in 1997? Who needs a packet of anti depressants that were prescribed three years ago, and not even to me? And all those photos that were taken in bad light, of people whose names I forget, what am I going to do with those? Moving is like therapy: it forces you to go through all the mess, reassess it and chuck out what is weighing you down. And it's difficult to tell which one is more expensive. The recent posts have been great and there's been lots of stuff that I've read where I've thought "oooh, that's interesting. I'll mention that", but I've forgotten most of it. I too have to find a job, but I'm not too bothered as it doesn't have to be a proper job and I do know how to pull a pint of Guinness and do the shamrock in the top. To all those that have graduated, all I can say is Well Done, and thank God I don't have to for two years. I've also liked the spate of first time posters, hello to you all. Oh, I got dragged into a shop by thin and rich friends the other day to look at over priced "ironic" tat. My fave was a long rack of indentical T-shirts that said FUCK FASHION. Mass produced anarchy: I love it. Anyway, whilst there I saw a T-shirt that said I *HEART* PF. So, all Pine Fox fans get down there quick. Someone mentioned Simon Armitage: could anyone recommend something by him? I read a poem of his today and it was wonderful. No word as yet from the Poetry Parrot, his creative juices have dried up. All contributions and musingss greatfully received. Llaura Llew's post about Greek stuff made me think of The Secret History by Donna Tartt, which I think I'll take on holiday with me. Intellect, debauchery, incest, greek mythology and murder. What more could a girl ask for? Except a gazillion pounds (sterling) and an effective cure for eczema, of course. I'm off for a work meal tonight, if making tea for the homeless and vulnerable on a volunteer basis two mornings a week counts as "work". Think of me, as I'll be thinking of you as I spill dinner down my top and laugh too loudly. Love Heiress Madeleine, Lady Lolly xxxx PS Big shakes to Llaurra Llew, my kitty Big Stu, who is still lovely Will, who hassled until I posted And just about everyone else. _________________________________________________________________________ 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.

There is now officially a pretty girl working in Superdrug in Guildford. This is good because on my saturday job I buy Tuna and Cucumber sandwiches from superdrug. Pretty girls behind counters are great because you make an excuse for yourself to go into the shop and then you can spy at the girl while you're making your selection and then if you're brave enough you go and queue for her till and be served by her and she has to smile at you because you're the customer. Simple things.. i suppose. Speaking of work, I made myself quite embarrassed yesterday. Here's a story: Gay boy #1 and gay boy #2 are having a little conversation. We have a small working area and I had nowhere to move and no work to do so you can't blame me for eavesdropping slightly - they are quite aware that i'm in earshot anyway. The two gay boys used to go out, but gay boy #1 is now going out with, for the sake of preserving identities, Mr X. gay boy #2: So how's Mr X? gay boy #1: Oh good . (pause) gay boy #1: Mr X really wants it in the hole now... (there's a certain amount of gayistic slang here that is difficult to transcribe.. being unfamiliar with it myself) gay boy #1: We tried it the other night but it's not working gay boy #2: No? gay boy #1: It's just not going to fit. You could probably do it, but not me... we tried it the other way round.. but still.. have you seen Mr X's? gay boy #2: No.. gb1: Well it just won't go gb2: Could you not.. relax it a little (by now i'm biting my tongue) gb1: I tried my best, it's just not going to work without lube. gb2: Oh yeah, you might as well use lube. At this point I could hold it in no longer and I burst into fits of giggles. Gay boys 1 and 2 looked at me slightly dissaprovingly as if to say "how immature". Well I'm sorry. I tried, but frankly it wasn't my fault - I couldn't help but listen in. They were being dirty and lewd and they knew I could hear. I felt a bit silly afterwards. Still it was quite funny.

Have finally saved up enough informtaion for a full post, sorry no real content, but in a content-related way, Priscila, your B&S stuff has been posted (finally.....sorry!) and should be winging its way London-ward now. StevePeet mentioned throwing things out; I had to throw out three years worth of NME and Kerrang, collected while I still lived with my parents, every week (except for the weeks I was on holiday, obviously, but even then we had a newsagent duty collective to keep up the supply), and after my living away from home for over three years, my parents decided that they needed the space that my magazines took up to put baskets of pot pourri or lilac bedsheets or something in. Having to go through all that stuff, all the old interviews I loved when I was 16, and the reviews and news that I had forgotten about, and then I had to choose which ones to keep, which ones were worth dragging on and off various buses over four or five hours to keep at my flat, where I don't have any room anyway. (They were all worth it, but I ended up slyly putting them behind some boxes in the loft, thus giving myself maybe another two years before the subject comes up again, by which time I will hopefully be earning lots of money, and have a huge room in my house solely for storing magazines and CDs.......). Laura Llew's comments on the NME were spot on, but I did have a fondness for it when I was 15 or 16, when that particular brand of dim sarcasm was actually funny to me. Everyone seems to be getting jobbed-up, showing the real world that B&S fans aren't all lazy smelly students (or maybe they are, and everyone is just lying). I have a new high-powered summer job at an oil company, frightening at first but actually quite good, really. Can somebody recommend any lovely new music for me?? I've been listening to bleepy highbrow electronica for a while, and I want something new now. I've read a lot about Camera Obscura here, but never actually heard any of their music, what should I buy first? The name alone makes me want to own their music. And does anyone know any reliable internet mail order for music???? Madeleine mentioned "ironic" tshirts; I have collected a few ideas for slogans for 'trendy' people and clubbers, and may start up a printing business if there's enough demand.......

Ribena are giving away squeezey ribena berries. If you squeeze them their eyes pop out. But not in a sick cruel way, but in a comical way. Now I'm thinking about posse girls with their beautiful perfect makeup, and their playboy bunny tops. And they stand outside topshop, or congregate in Costa's, and they talk in their perfect voices about clubbing, and film stars, and their perfect boyfriends, or they just re arrange each others hair. And when they meet each other they don't hug, but they clop over with a practised walk, just right in their heels, so that their bum wiggles just enough, and then they air-kiss each other, and say "hey babes you look gorgeous!". And they all really do. They're the girls who always get beeped. I never get beeped, except by old men and guys with Stargate SG1 bumper stickers. And whenever I walk by a group of posse girls they always giggle and whisper stuff about charity shops and the seventies are sooo over in that way that rubs it in that they're better than me, and that the world is their place and not mine. And the awful thing is, that if i wasn't such a coward about pretending and not being who i am, I'd probably pretend like them, and my clothes would be straight from a magazine, and I'd probably give anything to do it. But I'm too scared to be anything but what I am, which is a slightly odd looking kid with pointy teeth who gets beaten up a lot. Does that make sense or did it sound quite pretentious? Pretentious stuff is my new thing to not like. That and goths. Argh the art gallery (which is infested with goths). One day I swear to ribena I will burn it down. Or get a huge ghetto blaster and play B*Witched, which will make their head explode like in mars attacks only better. Ah, you might have noticed I bumped into posse girls on the bus today and got a bee in my bonnet. Or a Bob the Wasp. I was on the bus back from Glasgow because I was seeing off the Lovely Ian Hatcher who was up for the weekend. It was swell, we went to pizza hut three times in a row and the third time the waitress recognised us. And we got nearly the same thing every time which wasn't healthy. And I had a really swell time. I always do. Besides, it's always nice to walk about in glasgow with a nice looking boy, because the posse girls stare and go "how did she manage that". I'm becoming quite shallow I think. I even wore shiny girly shoes and namedropped unrealeased B&S songs and bought a JD Salinger novel called Franny and Zooey. That's not very shallow, but I think I managed to make it look shallow. Not on purpose though. I'm not a posse girl, I couldn't carry it off. There's a green wall in my room. I dont like green, so I covered it up with posters. I'm running out of room. It was all the B&S posters from the gig that did it. And they're delighfully not level and a bit creased. I like Jonathon David I've decided. When I went to see the Aislers Set at Stevie played it when he was supporting, and I thought it was ok. But the single version, with all the bouncy bits just makes me want to dance about and be happy. Only not too much in case I pull some stitches. Shrek is a good film. I'm glad of how it ended. Is Warhammer geeky? Does anyone have the words to Landslide? Ok, that's all the rubbish I have to talk about now. I'm off to bed, because I need to sleep.

I still have another year of uni left, which is a Good Thing. this whole job fiasco doesn't make my post-college job aspirations seem very good. so I'll be going off to graduate work, possibly in nottingham, possibly in chicago, possibly in london... I really have no idea. all I know about nottingham was learned from robin hood, and I'm pretty sure that modern nottingham has little in common with middle ages fable nottingham. well, that and the fact that I saw a roadside for "sherwood forest" from the motorway on my way to sheffield back in february. ken's "carriage clock" parody/tribute was a small bit of brilliance. I see that a new series of "absolutely fabulous" is scheduled to air sometime this year. oh, how I wish I still lived in london. oh, did anyone catch "the dave gorman collection" on, um, bbc1 a while back? he had the most insane sideburns I've ever seen. even more insane than ken's. and I don't know what any of you who think the single version of "middle distance runner" is worse are thinking. I can't really hear any difference. maybe it's the rocks in my head. "mary jo" is perhaps the most underrated b&s song. -eric ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Christiaan just came into #sinister and accused me of loving turtles. Well, that is just poppycock. I do not TRUST turtles AT ALL. Christiaan, you should know this... it's written all over my face (especially with the scars and all)... Let's just say I had a BRUTAL ATTACK from a mean pet turtle... he mutilated me! It took me a very long time to even be around a turtle again. I freaked out and started crying and screaming at the zoo exhibit, even! Let's just say whenever the turtles start crossing the road and I see them squashed on the pavement I do not get sad AT ALL.. not in the LEAST. Oh, and I don't trust hamsters either.. I used to have two of them and one of them ate the other and then the other one escaped and lived under my couch for a month... when I finally captured him again I gave him away to my science teacher for dissection (Actually, no.. he just lived happily in a squat elementary school building for the rest of his years). But good riddance to that hamster, I knew they were trouble from the start. Believe you me, it was quite a shock to be 10 and walk in on your fun hamsters that you just want to put into their exercise ball so they can pee into it and run into the wall countless time, and find one of them (your FAVORITE, in fact) chewed up, guts splattered all over the walls, the other hamster licking his lips maliciously. It's so hard to trust again. So, B&S content.. I went to a party last night, brought a few CDs, and someone requested that I play "Get me away from here I'm dying". So I played it, and sang along!

I don't suppose any of you superior minded people ever read OK magazine (neither do I, it was lying around at work, I SWEAR!). Anyway, I was tearing off the telly pages to take home when I saw this gem: "Respected indie DUO Belle& Sebastian released their new single Jonathan David...". I can't remember the rest but I wish I could because it was really quite amusing! Cool. B&S a duo. Sebastian is probably the guy who sings on most tracks and Belle is the girl with the gentle whispery voice. Makes sense, doesn't it?! Next thing you know there will be a 5 page spread with the title "BELLE AND SEBASTIAN SHOW US THEIR NEW GLASGOW HOME. The respected indie duo move to a more spacious mansion after the birth of their twins, Jonathan & David." Anyway, on the subject of picnics, I don't know if I can make Primrose Hill yet because I might have to work. I didn't go to Greenwich but did attend pre-RAH. I was the girl who went round shoving strawberries and cream down people's gobs because I naively thought that the idea behind something as caring and sharing as a picnic was to take stuff and pass it round. Imagine my surprise when people showed up with individual pre-wrapped Boots sandwiches and 200ml cartons of Ribena. If you all promise to make me feel welcome when I show up on my own on the 28th I promise I won't impose strawbs & cream! (unless you want me to and ask me nicely). I'll see if I can think of something more sinthetic and individual to take next time. Well, that's it folks! Can't think of anything else to say even though I am always brimming with ideas when I'm lying in bed on the night before I post. I should just embrace my saddo devotee mantle and get out of bed at 3 in the morning to write. All the gigs and recent events have had a curious effect on me. I used to be normal human being and listen to all sorts of music but since I joined Sinister I seem to have become completely addicted to B&S and don't bother with the rest of my record collection much. If somebody has a remedy for this terrible affliction will they please let me know? NME were right about at least one person. I have become a total sick, f***ed in the head psycho fan. And proud. Take care, children. Pris. P.S. Lyns, ta for the stuff. I was going to get in touch via my next posting but you were one step ahead of me!

I have had a few days of fun packed advanture with my car myself, which involved: 1) Parking it in a car park at night, went to the pub and got back finding out that the car park was locked, and thus had to wait an hour and a half for a taxi (which, is a long time as we all know) 2) Promised by a friend to give me a lift at 9:30am the next day to get the car back, woke up and friend never arrived, who phoned me at um 12:30 saying sorry he had a hangover. 3) Eventually got back to the car at 3. 4) On the way back home a woman tried to take me off the road with a Michael Schumacher type manoeuvre, and almost killed me. 5) On the same journey back home, one of the tyres got punctured. 6) On the way to the pit stop I exceeded the 75mph limit and got a 10 seconds stop-go penalty. ok I made number 6 up, but BLUDDY HELL. I thought I loved my car but I might start loving big 18 wheeler trucks instead. Actually I won't cos that's 14 more wheels to get a puncture on. Christian V.

I must confess that I thought he on that cover was a girl for a long while. Oops, and also when I was in Edinburgh I was very drunk walking down the street one night, and found a post-it note saying "I *heart* monkey jism" stuck to a lamp post so I ripped it off and stuck it to that guys chin on a Jonathan David poster on the wall, I don't know why I did it, but it seemed funny at the time.

Yes you can. Message-ID: ...okay, fair enough. Crap subject line. But in the words of the mighty Super Furry Animals, "Happiness Is A Worn Pun". Hello all. It�s been a while since my last offering. I haven�t really done anything much in that time, which probably explains my absence. I think I might have enough Content to post now. So here come some random ramblings� I was listening to �1977� by Ash the other day, after Amy commented about seeing them at T In The Park. However, I can no longer listen to the sixth track without hearing the following lyrics: >>Ken Chu you do what you do to me >>I haven�t been the same since my teenage lobotomy >>etc etc etc Perhaps I�m just developing an unhealthy obsession with the man himself. Maybe. Answers on an e-card to the usual address. I love it when people say �um�well I�ve run out of things to say now, so I�ll shut up�, and then spend a paragraph detailing exactly how they�re going to go about the act of shutting up. I�m not being sarcastic either, I really love it. It makes me SMILE. A while back (in my last post actually), I wondered whether B&S were any good any more etc, and after much self-debate I�ve come to the conclusion that actually they�re still fab. I wasn�t feeling too good recently and so Tigermilk came out and I played it quite loudly and waited for the music to ooze and wash around me and seep into every pore in my body. And it did, and it made me feel better for the 40-odd minutes whilst it was playing, so thank the Lord. Miraculous Technique is also truly gorgeous, so I�ve been going through something of a B&S renaissance recently. Thank you David White for putting all of the Black Session on your site. I now have it in its entirety, and it, too, is marvellous. Anybody else madly in love with Pulp? I am, and am now the proud owner of a promotional white label twelve inch thingy of their new song, �Sunrise�, which is A Very Good Song Indeed. I love Pulp.As I said in a previous post, the new Beta Band LP is fanTAStic. Hopefully the new SFA will be equally blinding. Does it strike anybody else as slightly odd that B&S have a badge and a t-shirt that says �BSPD� on it? Presumably this stands for �Belle & Sebastian Police Department�, but it don�t understand the link between the, ahem, pigs, and the loveable �indie� scamps whom we all love. I�d understand if fans of Dr Dre sported a badge of �NWAPD� on their cardigans. Because that would make sense. Irony. About 2 months ago, Eric The Half A Bee decided to change his name from �Eric� to �Eric The Half A Bee�, so that he was more memorable on the list when people met him at picnics. I think this is a Good Idea, so I�m gonna rip off Rachel Playforth, and simply swap the first two letters of my name. So, hugs to all, Asm.x _________________________________________________________________________ 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.

Wait till I tell you. World War II. UK. Rationing. A shortage of sweets. Your man takes up the story. "Even Africa felt sorry for us.In an act of charity that mirrored Live Aid - and predated it by forty years - the citizens of Nairobi were asked to give up their sugar coupons: each one donated would provide half a dozen barley sugars or pear drops for one of Britain's orphaned or homeless children. It would be, as one Ugandan newspaper put it, 'a touching demonstration that we children of the mother country do not forget her in times of need'". [Culled from Nicholas Whittaker, SWEET TALK: THE SECRET HISTORY OF CONFECTIONERY (London: Victor Gollancz, 1998), p.111.] This, boys, is a true story. Girls, also. Too. Uganda donated to Britain's - let us call it - "candy fund" during the Emergency. Think on. THE BODY AS LANGUAGE I see that Herbert McCabe has died. Could there be a story in this? Yes. It goes as follows. Professor Terry Eagleton will attend the wake, to be held in Manchester. Jokes will be made viz. the following: [re. a statue of Christ, mistaken for Prof. McCabe:] "It doesn't look a bloody bit like the fella!!" [re. Michel Foucault:] "A true micropolitics of the prison would be in every sense cellular". Ah, I've never forgotten that one, and you can't say I have. ENDGAME IN CHELMSFORD It seems I owe Mr David Moore an apology. In a previous contribution I both berated him for lack of clarity and compared him to Mr David Trimble of the UUP. Mr Moore has since explained that clarity is his daughter's middle name. All I have to do, he says, is click on the blue attachments, and I'll see a sight for sore eyes, if you catch my drift. But about the Trimble episode. Words were exchanged. A full and frank exchange of views. There was a Broadcast blackout. A Testcard. "Let's just say that I walked into the Minister's office and told him that Caliban might have been easy for the colonial imagination to pacify, but we would be a harder job." Well done, David. David tells me that Anita O'Day is going for fifteen quid. That makes me feel like Mervyn Day, let alone Melvyn Bragg. WHAT'S THE POINTSMAN? Pynchon update has been held over due to lack of progress. A clue arrives from that beautiful undiscovered valley region, My Editor. - It's all on the first page of the book, quoth she: 'not a disentanglement, but a progressive knotting into...'. I am discouraged. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

I went in to mine today to grab a copy of the new Beta Band type CD (which is great by the way) and they presented me with a copy of the Jonathan David video... which I'd asked about a while ago. How fantastic of them... it said 60's & 70's version on it... does that mean there are other versions? Goodness. I wonder, am I supporting them for the right reasons, or am I using them... perhaps they're using me too... they do seem to have a lot of money that was once mine. Rener asked... > someone's mentioned here before that the perspex bass > was a gift to stuart murdoch from philo (as we ould > dubs like to call him, whuh whuh whuh). is there any > truth at all in this story? Cough... well I'll confess that it was me that called out 'nice guitar' when Stuart was putting on his stunning perspex bass at the Scarborough gig... I was most impressed by it. He told us all that it was a gift from the band, but that it used to belong to... well you guessed it. he seemed to cherish it. I was (once again) listening to the session the other day... does anyone else feel that when Stuart says "he amuses me greatly" he might be being a little sarcastic? Of course there've been reams written about the gigs... so I'll just say a cheery thanks to big Stu for giving me a lift there... and for providing enough quiche to feed a small nation (of quiche eaters) at our little picnic on the beach... where no quiche eating nations were to be seen, just Liz, Stu and myself, and later on Charlie, Mo and Frasier (who I knew at school) and their friends Tom and Lauren (??? I didn't hear her properly when she said it). There were other people picnicing on the beach, but not with us. I went looking for other sinisters but chickened out of actually asking any of them... so if you saw a fellow wandering around the fringes of your group, perhaps pretending to have spotted something glinting in the sand.... well that was me, before I returned to the quiche, sandwiches and vodka lemonade. Mmmm I saw a few people wearing ampersand Teeee-shirts at the Radiohead type gig in Oxford the other week... Hello if you were there. I really enjoyed that one, and have since bought a Sigur Ros CD... It fits in at the uber-mellow end of my CD collection (when I finally get around to reorganising them by mood). Does anyone know where you can find a translation of their lyrics? I also nabbed myself some blue cord flares, and a girl in the rain, though I'm not entirely sure what's going on there, but she seems lurverly, I like her lots on the phone, but I'd like her more in person some more I think... maybe she nabbed me, I'm not sure. Anyway... I'm a-rambling now. Hope that stuff is great for you all. Love.

I was wondering if anyone has posted any live B+S pictures from this recent tour online? If so, were? I'd love to see what they're up to live. Second is, on August 23 I'm putting on a show with Calvin Johnson, the Microphones, and Get the Hell out of the Way of the volcano here in Manasquan, NJ. I know it's a little early, but I wanna get the word out. They're going to perform a paper opera and it's gonna be amazing. Hopefully some of you in the area can make it. It seemed like everyone ignored my Softies show last year. and Third, I was wondering if anyone on the list has or is attending MassArt in Boston? I'm starting there in Sept. as a freshman and was just wondering if anyone else is up there. Anyone else up in Boston? If so I hope you like the Helms, they're super fab, and I'm seeing them on Sat. with the Album Leaf.

Aaanyway... it's been a busy few weeks on the list, to say the least! You buggers just don't stop writing. I've finally caught up though, after digesting a digest or eight for a few days solid - work really does sometimes have its advantages. For me, there's been R!A!H! which you all know about - I too managed to get in, with five friends, without even taking the tickets out of my inside pocket. Was very tempted to pop out again and flog them to the touts outside, to help fund the next round of extortionate drinks, but then was overcome by pangs of guilt - perhaps I have some vestiges of moral fibre after all... Then Ipswich!, which rocked. As Stu mentioned, Sarah chose 'Don't stop me now' by Queen on Beat Patrol (B&S do Desert Island Discs) a few years back. It was particularly appropriate that it was Sarah who started the song off - she was loving it loving it loving it, as were we. And Murdoch's outfit! Wow. Chris Jones mentioned that he saw some nut-cases dancing like soul boys (more like headless chickens) in the circle. Hmmm, nothing to do with me guv. Honest. It wasn't us! We then went clubbing in Ipswich, to the one club not adorned by a large brawl in the street outside. Were almost turned away by the bouncers after they spotted that Terry had somehow forgotten to replace the binoculars from his theatre seat - naughty boy! The club was grim, but did have a fountain and palm trees. I'm not sure there were (m)any others from the gig there - I also think we succeeded in irritating the local clubbers by, um, taking the piss a bit with the old dancing lark. They wouldn't play us any Lambchop. Then to the campsite, after dropping off our new friend Marianna (hi!) at her hotel. I was three hours late for work the next morning. Oops. They had chickens at the campsite.

But Marmite is just evil. And inedible. Anyway, Kenneth asked if there was a list of the cover stars.

Fold you Hands Child, you Walk like a Peasant: The twins from Icelandic band Mum (sorry, can't remember their names!) Jonathan David: Mick Cooke, 'Belfast' Bob Kildea, and Ruth Madoc from Hi-De-Hi. I'm sure I've forgotten someone there, but never mind. I normally try and add something entertaining and amusing at this point, but I won't bother today, because I've finally realised that I'm just not funny.

I think my dad used it to grout our shower tiles. and while we're on the subject: some guy in oklahoma (I think) is test-marketing individual pre-wrapped slices of peanut butter... more proof that the only necessary parts of america are the coasts. and chicago. by the by, I've been listening to the aislers set a lot recently, and I recommend them to you all. also, is anyone is new york going to the coney island music festival thing put on by the village voice this weekend? http://www.villagevoice.com/siren/ off to make myself some toast, eric ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

While Peanut butter toast does not need butter to be peanut butter toast, it does need it to complete the taste experience. Butter makes everything better. Marmite always fails to satisfy...spoken like a man whose never been near marmite. But I have been near marmots and mites. There are two marmots living under my parents shed, their names are dead and dead Jr. (as soon as my mother gets them in her sights). And no crying from you animals rights people, it's them or us. They've eaten everything in the garden this year. All of the squash, beans, and peppers, and the biggest crime, all of the strawberries! My contact with mites was when I was cleaning behind a bookshelf years ago. I swung my hand around a bit collecting dust then pulled it out and saw a million tiny black things crawling from the rag to my elbow. I screamed like a little girl and ran to the bathroom to washed them away. Stepped on a nest of ticks once too, a very similar adventure but the other players were a stranger's swimming pool and baby blood suckers. On the subject of Perspex Basses; never saw Thin Lizzy with one, but the bass player from Inxs used one. I know a shop that has one for sale if anyone is interested. We just topped 1500 members. It's officially a trend, all the cool people will now leave. -kirk +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Apparently the Finns buy the highest amount of Donald Duck comics of any other country in the world. Makes you think, doesn't it? Whenever I meet Finnish people I always ask them about the Moomins and Donald Duck, which must really annoy them. Ros wrote: > Yes, Warhammer is geeky (though some of my friends do it and are cool). If > that makes any sense! Warhammer pays for a friend's record buying habit. He works for the company that makes it. One fascinating thing about Warhammer is they've signed up some German techno label to do music for each of the races that appear in it. Wouldn't it be great if they did that again only with indie bands doing the music? I'd love to hear B&S do a song about Goblin Fanatics. Jenowl said: > Now I'm thinking about posse girls with their beautiful perfect makeup, and > their playboy bunny tops. Posse girls? That's a great phrase. It reminds me of the way the Norwegian Black Metal nutters in "Lords of Chaos" refer to fans of false metal as 'Trend People'. "Lords of Chaos" is a book.

SOOOO boring. I thought I'd alleviate some of the boredom by posting, so I'm sorry. I must warn that this post is nothing important, and is probably best skipped. So, let me get the little bit of content out of the way. I've had Tigermilk for over two years now, and I'm just now paying attention to the lyrics to "You're Just a Baby." Maybe I didn't think about it because my friend derided it for being "too babyish" or something. I don't remember. Anyhow, does anybody else think there is something sinister going on in this song? Maybe I'm just a perv or something. I have to go to the oral surgeon tomorrow to get my wisdom teeth pulled. It sounds like an unpleasant affair. The guy told me that getting one out my be a problem and I might lose some feeling in my nerves around there. That would not be cool. I'm also a bit worried about the anasthesia (sp?). I've never been under, but I've been told you have to for some reason. I know (knew) of a girl who was put under anasthesia during routine jaw surgery and never woke up. That's kind of scary, but I'm sure I'll be okay. I think I'll be drugged up most of the day, so if someone stumbles into #sinister at some point and starts rambling about nothing, it's just me and you should ignore it. It seems that when I have a bad morning, the rest of the day gets really good (and vice versa). I woke up late this morning, didn't have time to go home, ripped a contact, and when I got out of my car at the office, I stepped in a big pile of dog poo. Somebody on the list mentioned a long time ago about Neon Genesis Evangelion. I decided it was worth checking out (especially since my dad's girlfriend has all of them), so I borrowed them and have been getting addicted. While I'm not normally into anime, this is an exception. I recommend it heartily. Speaking of heartily, why are Ramen Noodles so cheap? Seven for a dollar is incredible! They must be incredibly bad for one's health though. I've tasted marmite once, and it was pretty bad. About as bad as Ribena and Red Bull in my opinion (although Red Bull is the best of the three). Sorry Ken. Doesn't it seem very hazardous to one's health to mix a lot of caffiene and vodka (a depressant)? That's just my opinion. I see Red Bull everywhere now though. I think I saw it in that movie "Legally Blonde" last weekend, but I can't be sure. Well, I'm off. -Matt _________________________________________________________________ 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.

I have an idea for a mix tape. I am going to make it as if it were the soundtrack to some lost movie that never got made. I'm going to use music mentioned on Sinister(and perhaps some that isn't) and insert various friends of mine reading Sinister quotes as if they were lines in the movie. If anyone doesn't want to be quoted, then tell me and you will not be. I kinda doubt that any of you would have a problem with this, but I thought I should ask all the same.

Belle & Sebastian become an 8 piece again Message-ID: <060301c10f8b$55552a00$53d0fc3e@katrina> Belle & Sebastian have welcomed another into their fold as 'Belfast' Bobby Kildea joined the band yesterday. Bobby - who is also a member of Glasgow gangsters V-Twin and part of The Reindeer Section - has been working with the band as a session guitarist & bassist following the departure of founding member and bassist Stuart David. Bobby, one of the 'Jonathan David ' cover stars, is said to be relaxing at home with a fat one following a traumatic initiation ceremony. Following the successful 13 date UK tour which included a spectacular sell-out date at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Belle & Sebastian are appearing at the Benicassim Festival in Spain on August 4th and will announce dates for a West Coast U.S.A. tour next week. They have also been approached to play the Free Jazz Festival 2001 in Brazil and can now confirm the following two gigs, their first ever outside Europe and the U.S.A.: October 26 Rio de Janeiro Museum of Modern Art - headlining main stage October 27 São Paulo Jockey Club of São Paulo - headlining main stage They go back into CaVa studios next week to complete work on their soundtrack record to Todd Solondz's new film "Storytelling" - which has its UK Premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival on August 18th. The record is expected to be released along with the film in the autumn. Belle & Sebastian will also release another single in the autumn, featuring some of the new songs premiered during the recent UK tour. *** cheers, katrina. banchory press - management - merchandising http://www.banchory.net +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I went to another job agency today and done various tests to make sure that I am not an invalid. After almost proving that I was an invalid by setting my calculator to the wrong mode before realising, I seem to have passed, and apparently done very well on the data entry test, so maybe I'll get some work soon and not have to scrounge (as much). Woohoo. There are picnics galore it seems on the 28th July, is this the looming of another international sinister picnic day? I think everyone should picnic that day even if it's on your own, bring a stereo out to the garden a park and blast out B&S and stuff, grate! I was listening to Pocketbook Angel and Take your carriage clock and shove it, the other day, just wondered if anyone knows if Sturan had indeed worked in an office once and been sacked hence the bitterness? Or was it his mate who got shoved up the arse? Or does Sturan just have grate imagination? Warhammer is extremely geeky, and when you walk into the Games Workshop (where they sell the warhammer stuff), you are always greeted by a very patronising staff who is always very over enthusiastic about getting you to buy things. Oh crap I just gave away the fact that I've been inside.. I was 14 for God's sake! And only for two weeks... arrrgh. In the graduate fair in my University, believe it or not there was a Games Workshop stand, I laughed. Um I still haven't found a job, I sob. Brian Svensen said: >>...

I was the one whisking Katie from Tompaulin around in a strange tango..? (If you're reading this, love ya, katie!) I was also kicking around at the post-gig party in Mell St, Greenwich. Hello to all who were there. You were a right bunch of silver-tongued charmers. This is my first post, and I must say I've been enamoured by everybody's winning way with a phrase. I personally find Marmite and butter are winners - particularly soaked into a lightly toasted bun. Has anyone else found, though, that your last slices of toast go soggy by the time you've eaten the first ones? Maybe there's a novelty skiffle song there somewhere, if not the beginning of a ropey observational flatsharing sitcom... Ahh yes, B&S. One thing that has really made me happy has been the list's international flavour. Hi to all, be you in Finland or US or Paris. I must say, however, that I have been gnawing things in jealousy at the news that the guys are playing in Brazil and the US. The great Sinister stowaway, anyone? oooops I'vejustbeencaughtbymyboss. hurrah I've found he likes Belle and sebastian. H'lujah. But I won't get cocky - I think its time to go.

Struan said he did a Radcliffe session in just his pants. (his pants, not my pants) I broke my celibacy of non Belle And Sebastian records the other day. I only dipped my toe in the shallow end by listening to the Field Mice, but it's shows I'm beginning to get over Bellemania. TODAY IS FUNNY It's been a funny old day today. I was tired because I had a big day out yesterday. I went to Buckingham Palace to pick up my gold Duke Of Edinburgh's award and have a tea party. I know you all think it's just for poncy posh boys, but it isn't. Anyway, it rained the whole time and I saw Charlie Dimmock and Prince Phillip. He was being rude to people and I giggled. Today I ached, but I was woken at 9 by my parents who said there was a family emergency. Well, the long and the short of it was that I ended up at home on my own, having to cycle 6 miles for a job interview. That's not much fun when you have glandular fever and you already feel like you've run a marathon. There was a ray of light before this though as I opened my parcel. The post man had brought me a Study At Stow t-shirt that I won on ebay. It is very big but brand spangly new and exciting. I am still feeling weird. PICNIC This sounds like fun. If I'm fit, I will trundle down to the smoke with Mr. Hallifax and possibly Miss Feather Boa. Will there be anyone famous there like Stevie Trousers? WEIRD Do you all think I'm weird? People have been ignoring me a lot lately. I don't like coming across weird. I try my hardest, but I try too hard. It was especially bad when I met Struan. I wanted to try so hard because he was my idol, and I came across as some hyper-obsessive nut stalker type. What kind of nut would you be? I am a peanut.

(an odd moniker as he seems to be from glasgow, but hey). he gave us beer on scarborough beach, ahhh! someone mentioned aislers set being very good. and i agreed. i've been listening loads too, and to birdie. who are also GRATE. brenda milton-bradley said about: sigur "gorgeous" ros's vocals - ie: the language of... But i do believe that he's playing silly buggers and making , er, "noises" of no specific language at all. i say: apparently he sings in english, icelandic and, um, gibberish. he has some name for it but basicly yeh he makes it up. spent most of today bored out of my mind at work making bizarre wax things that look like UFOs from crap 50s sci-fi films. still have no idea what they are after 3 days. my friend reviewed the ipswich gig in the local paper [most of which you already know] but she also commented about their Brits success and said: "But were you also aware that keyboard player Chris Geddes studied for his A-Levels at Colchester Institute and formed his first band in his parents' Lawford garage? No, probably not." and she would know, being a friend of the family. apparently her mum was offered a pass for teh after-show 'do' and didn't go!!!! she then bizarrely said: "Unfortunately they..seem to pull in the aren't-we oh!-so-indie-let's all-talk-about-the-ethics-of-pop-music t-shirt brigade" i presume that includes us then. i'll have to have a word about that. ALso i just remembered a story Struan told that i think chris hasn't mentioned. something about Struan disliking Brighton because while living in london he went there on a SUNDAY NIGHT to buy a motorbike, so he could get back to Scotland, and not being able to find one......yes, seemed a bit odd to me too. bye bye stuart ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

It even plays in stereo now. My left ear's never heard anything like it. Katrina, like a space angel, flew from planet Jeepster with glad tidings. A new single and a new album (soundtrack) in autumn sounds nobbing marvellous. Well, hopefully they do. And it is Belfast Bob on the Jonathan David cover and not A BIG GIRL. Archel wrote; >i can combine it, you see, with >witnessing the swan song/last gasp of the now defunct comedy troupe >formed >by university 'friends'. He he. At least *someone* will be laughing. I heard a swan song once. It wasn't very good. It was all about fish and the trials of having a long neck. And those plastic things that hold beercans together. The lyrics were fine but the tune was just a load of quacking.* Proof that I might actually be a twee fucker after all... A lady came into the petrol station to buy some biscuits. She was smartly dressed, but wore three button badges, like the B+S 'bus stop' badges but in green. I took this as a sign of rebellion. The badges, for a reason I couldn't understand, all said 'third' on them. "I like your badges", I said. "Where did you get them" I should have recognised the look of bemusement. "Oh these? I got them at my son's sports day." "Oh I see." "He came third" "Hmm... Are these your biscuits?" Do I really live in a world so far from reality as this? So that the first thing I imagined was that she was a fan of some band called 'third', and her badges were as rebellious as she could be as a dentist's secretary? Oh dear. I've never been twee before. I don't think I like it very much. I love peanut butter. And marmite too. But both together would be nasty. My sister reckons that if you drink milk and orange juice mixed together you are automatically sick. That's not a rumour it's CHEMISTRY. Honest, my sister's seen it happen. Robin xx *Actually I made this up. Do swans quack anyway? Geese honk. Before horns were invented they used to tie geese to trams and pull their feet whenever someone got in the way.

Orange juice and milk, however, is actually quite good. You certainly can't mix them 1 to 1, but a little bit of milk with orange juice and ice in a blender is yummy!! once when i was vegan i thought i'd show off to the other kids at my table in the university cafeteria, and i dumped my remaining orange juice and soy milk together in the same glass, in a one to one ratio. "I am truly crazy," i congratulated myself. the looks of horror around me secured my place in dining hall fame! but, to my shock, the concotion was actually most pleasing. it became my favorite drink, and the favorite drink of died-in-the-wool hamburger eaters too! i urge you all to try it! it tastes like a really healthy milkshake. and as for content, after expressing my deep sympathy to all midwest and east coast listees, the meek have inherited the earth! we have been rewarded for our undying patience during the trying times of sinister june -july 2001. get ready for months of gloating, and maybe all US listees should post only in CAPS lock to best simulate our loud and brash accents as we begin to work ourselves into tour madness. wishing i could send each of you a perfect red rose, Kyla __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

That was meant to be a greeting but, hey its cool if that describes today too. I have some sort of content today!! YAY! First, Ken-- even though I've never met you I thought about you today when I saw something on the news about how a lot of people are abusing the ever so great Red Bull you often speak of. Although I have never had it I had a good laugh that they were making a big deal out of it. I tell you, the world needs to calm down or it'll have a heart attack or something... Second-- I am very excited b/c I just received the Jonathan David you all speak of. And I don't know what all you bashers are talking about, its lovely. Although "Take your Carriage Clock"...reminds me of something of theirs I've heard before, its the music, and not the singing. I don't know the song. Third-- The people on this list are so lovely, but now I resent more of you! All you west coast kids, just so you know you are now on my hit list, so watch out or a falling rock will hit you right atop that lovely head of yours. Watch it!!! I am so jealous, I want B&S to come to Chicago. I want I want I want.. Next up--Someone (I cant remember who) wrote a post about the White Stripes, and I think they are grate! That's random... Also someone said something about Mum, does anyone know where I can get a hold on their album.

I have a query for you; my friend Steve and I are planning a trip. We would like to be gone three to four days. Now, I've done some research on hostels at hiayah.org and I've found some great sounding ones. The problem is this. We don't know where we want to go, or what state to visit. Can anyone recommend anywhere that's nice? I know that's a broad question, but we're really unsure of where we'd like to go. If there's a hostel nearby that would be even better. You people who've been to hostels of the Sinister persuasion.. I've got this image of all these cooks dancing around in a kitchen with coloured lights waving their cooking instruments in unison to La Pastie de la Bourgeousie. If anyone knows of a hostel like THAT, let me know. I'd really appreciate any input (Granted, I'm not promising I'll stop by anyone's house or anything, I mean, I live in Pennsylvania so some places (like Cali, unfortunately) wouldn't fit into the timeframe that we're after). I'm reading Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh, I just the chapter entitled finished Bad Blood. Phew, that was tough to get through. What's everyone's favourite Irvine Welsh book? Does anyone like Irvine Welsh? I need to read something happy some time. The book I read last was 1984 by George Orwell, that was quite a book. Not "quite" in a happy way though. I'm listening to Reggie & The Full Effect right now. They always cheer me up. Especially the song with the lyrics Love I'm in love I'm in love i'm in love i'm in love Like a glove I stick to you. On that note I'll head out. Hope you're all doing well! :D xoxo Tim _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2001 15:42:08 +1200 Subject: Sinister: Why does my heart go boom titty, boom titty, boom titty, boom? Message-ID: With a stonking B&S compilation in the cd drawer and the light of my little computer to guide my fingers over the keys I am writing to you fine people from the depths of an Antipodean night from the night train from the middle of nowhere. All I can see from my window is the odd farmhouse and a light here and there and the most fantastic full moon. All I can hear is "String Bean Jean". It should also be pointed out that "Get me Away I'm Dying" is the perfect soundtrack for passing through Hamilton (the jewel of the pacific?) at 4 in the morning. Speaking of that song (gmafhid), I have just been to see my Four year old daughter in Wellington, who, it must be said, is already the proud owner of a 74 minute B&S compilation cd. And as we were walking through the supermarket the other day she launches into a version (albeit naive) of the aforementioned song, and boy did my heart go "Boom titty, boom titty boom titty boom". Which is the exact question I asked on a radio talkback show the other night that was asking for listeners to call in with, and I quote,"questions of the heart" but when I asked them "Why does my heart go Boom titty, boom titty boom titty boom?" they hung up. I now I fear I will never know. Anyway my computer battery starts to wear very fast if I have the cd player and the screen going so no competition , B&S wins and you guys must say Goodbye. Well I arrived safely, and with my computer back in contact with a telephone network it was time to read sinister posts(148) and post myself. Asm said we can have fun changing names around, has anyone tried the porn star name thingy, it's simple you take your middle name and the name of your street and voila. I am now Brian Vermont.(this works particularly well in Ponsonby where all the streets are named after places in America). Down in this part of the world there is a thing called Vegemite which is like marmite,ie;packed full of yeasty, B vitamin goodness, but not so black and tarty, delicious, and all the people who butter their peanut butter toast are most certainly doing what is just and true, god forbid the thought of dry toast and mouth clamming peanut, yick. Though I must agree with Ernie off sesame st who said something along the lines of peanut butter is grate cos it sticks your mouth together so you can hum. And we all like a good hum every now and then. And someone else complained about summer, well I have hardly left the house in three days cos it's so friggin cold and absolutely pissing down so if anyone wants it I've got one southern winter going cheap, one lady owner, prepared to swap for a northern summer or equivalent.

Cool, tall, vulnerable and luscious, whichever.. yes, anyhoo, that was my random babbling for the day. I'm in Taiwan now, to study Chinese, which is, in all respects to my parents who've sent me here, a bit extreme, but I am learning a lot. Which is why I haven't written to sinister in a long time. But now that I have access to email, I will slink out of my lurkdom and into the sunshine.. So I was talking to my host mother yesterday, and she asked me if I went swimming everyday. And I said no. To which she said "oh, you don't know how to swim?" and.. me: no, I do, I just don't like swimming. her: so you know how to swim, but you don't like swimming. me: correct. her: very strange. very. and this entire conversation, of course, was carried out in chinese.. I found it rather amusing that people find me strange even in Taiwan. They also think it's strange that I don't eat meat, dairy products, eggs, or honey. And they also think I eat too little. (not true) Once upon a time, I had things to say to Sinister, of my daring adventures in Taiwan. They've somehow all disappeared to the back of my mind and now I'm horribly ticked, but I'll survive. I'll just ramble. If anyone would like strange looking postcards from Taiwan, send word! (with name, address, and your order of business and such) I've decided that when I get back to school, I will be recruiting members for a band. I will put up a gigantic list of bands I like and say "if you like two or more of these bands and know how to play the guitar, the bass, the drums, or the keyboard, please contact Hye Min (ext. 8004)." And I'll name it.. I don't what I'd name it. I was thinking of The Evil Squirrels, but I think that name's already taken. Maybe The Duckets or something like that. Well, my 15 minutes is up, most of which was spent talking about stupid things that I had not intended to speak of. I did not, however, speak of how much I missed my friends and will and such, so I will now scoot away before I do that again. (oh and yes, I was terribly jealous of you all for going to the gigs and such. I think I actually cried with envy when people talked of meeting struan.) cheers, hye min xoxo Do you want injections for that? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

You know, the day when all people of all persuasions (yes even the twee amongst us) come together (separately) to celebrate all things B&S. Just think in years to come, there could be riots in the streets and memorials unveiled to symbolise our fight for freedom against our MOR oppressors. We can make banners and promotional flyers, and petition for the execution of Toploader and Steps. Thousands will join our cause. So anyways, I'll make a point of being one of the only, if not the only listee celebrating in Perth, Aus. Seeing as the chances of me getting to a picnic are about as good as me seeing B&S live. Well, that's my allotted 15 seconds. I'll get back to my closet now.

If I start with the things I wanted to say in the first place, this post might make some kind of sense. That Chris Jones, for instance. I'd be wary of coming to a London picnic, sonny - strange things can happen to boys in spanking new Study at Stow t-shirts... And your objectification of Stevie Trousers - well, I suppose there's a certain grotesque appeal, like watching a parachute fail to open or something :-P The sinister football posse is (in theory) meeting up at 7pm in Regent's Park in London's trendy London this evening - if anyone wants to come who's not a regular, email me this instant. Rain? Mud? All in a day's work for the craggy, horny-handed men and women of Sinister fitba. And Stevie Trousers might be there. Isobel is doing versions of Billie Holiday songs. Let's just let that sink in for a moment. Big Bad Belfast Bobby appears to be from Bangor (presumably the one on Northern Ireland rather than Wales). So that's sort of an explanation. Is Mick Cooke a cook, do you think? Or Isobel Campbell a murderous 17th century traitor? Ach, I'm speaking balls again. Is that it? I'm off.

Having a picnic on the 28th is a really good idea 'cos its my birthday. Unfortunately 'cos it's my birthday I've already got plans so I'm NOT GOING *sniff*. You are of course welcome to come to Rob's Birthday Pubnic in Southsea on the same day. It's by the sea and there are NO *@!&ING HILLS. I'll be 26 which probably makes me Too Old For Good Pop Music. I'm not particularly looking forward to spending the rest of my life listening to David Gray and Toploader but at least I can write seething letters to the Daily Mail about Eminem. SPREADABLES... Marmite is a very good thing indeed and must be spread on hot toast which has been softened up by butter or margarine. And then eaten. I remember reading somewhere that it's handy for hangovers as well 'cos it promotes seratonin production or something. As for peanut butter: I know some people who would die if they ate it - 'nuff said. POETS... PeetSketchSteve and others talked some jive about Simon Armitage whom I once discovered is a fellow alumnus of Portsmouth Poly (now 'uni'). He read a poem about the city on Mark Radcliffe after receiving an honorary doctorate - It's strange and exciting hearing familiar landmarks being mentioned on the radio. PUNCHLINE... Someone also called Rob mentioned how embarrassing it is when you sign yourself off 'orb' on emails. I feel your pain, man.

Enquiries to the usual address. Seriously, we had floods in the Nottingham area yesterday. In the middle of July. This is getting beyond a joke. Of course, the obvious answer is to bugger off to another country. So I'll be spending B&S day in the middle of Hungary. I'll be thinking of you. Anyway, the reason for another post; lots of people seem to have been going on about the Aislers Set recently; so some of you may be interested to know that they're in session on John Peel TONIGHT (Thursday), 10pm-midnight, on Radio 1. One of the songs they'll be playing is a Joy Division cover apparently. Oh, and the White Stripes are on next week sometime. What is the difference between being a fan of B&S and being obsessed?

I would go to the alley wearing my most decrepid footwear (but not my holey blue canvass pumps) casually swap them at the desk for a pair of smooth soled size tens. (why is it they never check that you've paid to bowl?), hang about on the arcades for half an hour or so, then cool as you like walk out through the door. I hatched my plan when I was about eleven and one day soon I might have the erm *gumption* to carry it out. please don't dob me in to the rozzers!!! Crumbs, what if someone on Sinister is an occifer of the law, or worse, a bowling alley attendant. The game's up. I don't like peanut butter or marmite, but when I have honey or jam or both on toast I don't have butter too cos it spoils the lovely sweet taste. I have a hunch though that it's just personal taste and doesn't matter either way. This lunchtime I am making myself sick eating the office's box of Ferrero Rocher (etchulent*e*) cos when I got to the till in the sandwich shop my shiny new ten pound note had run away, and I had to *put the sandwich back on the shelf* All random, but true.

Apologies to everyones who are getting hacked off with marmite talk, its all my fault (it was the footnote of an apalling post) but i guess peoples opinions will out, and to be honest I feel a whole lot safer knowing where you all stand on such important issues. If no one has much more to say on the matter I will finish with this advice... If in doubt, put butter on it. (However, this does not work with partners, in which case I am advised that syrup is better. Oops...Don't know what came over me...) But if you want to keep on about it, let me fuel the spreadables discussion with this... Long ago, when I was a wee lad, our family was shaken by the arrival of a new spreadable, FLUFF! Fluff is a white, (fluffy) MARSHMELLOW spread. Oh boy, that was the good stuff. It was almost impossible to spread but no one cared because that meant you had to eat it with a spoon. What I want to know is... can anyone else remember it, and does anyone know where to get it as it seems to have disappeared from the face of the world. I expect it is available in America. They're like that. On to other mature and grown up topics, calling people names. Someone suggested a porn star one, thats a good version but not as good as this... the name of your first pet, then your mothers maiden name. Can anyone remember how to do the star wars one because that rawked. But how about this for an entire language... EGG LANGUAGE. Right, here we go. Add the word "egg" before every vowel in your name (or any other word.) If there are two vowels together, replace the e of the egg with the vowel. I am Teggom Peggetteggingegger. And dearest sinisterbite Jeanette Eastwood, well, say hello to Jeggegganeggettegge Eggeggastweggoggod. Ha ha! (Sorry for picking on you, Jeanette.) I hope you are all enjoying your squeezy ribena berries, you bastees (said with Adam & Joe type country bumpkin voice.) Go on, it's alright, laugh all you want that I haven't got one, cos i'm getting one, a scottish one, cos Jen said. So there. And whilst on that sort of note, I hear you Jen, art galleries, one day I'm actually going to get out of bed and go and publicly reveal the art gallery to be the buggering rubbish it is. Anyways, time to go and find some work. The people who recruit pot washers at bars don't seem to understand why i don't have any references. Them: So, have you got any references? Me: No, I'm still at school. Them: So, you've not got many references? Me: Not strictly true, no. I haven't got any references, on account of not having been in employment, because I'm still at school. Them: oh, right well, can you get some references? Me: No, because no one will bloody... no one will employ me because I haven't got any references. You've got to work for the first time at some point. And i can't get a full time job because I spend all day out climbing or sitting at home sipping ribena. But i don't want a full time job. I want an evening job. Pot washing, it's not rocket science is it? How many references do I need? "Er, yeah, I got the special award at my last job for making the pots really sparkle, I got the efficency award as well for making a bottle of fairy liquid last 2 months but I got fired because the landlords little boy wanted the bottle to make a spaceship..." Ok, somewhere I merged from reality into fantasy but you get the picture. Once again I have achieved a long but thoroughly dull and almost content free post. How do I manage it. Crdryby Tom P.S.CONTENT: I am trying to get a job because amongst other things I need fishyclap and also there is supposed to be a singles box set which i haven't seen yet so any info would be GRATE.

I can see why tho, I like bowling shoes, but a pair of shoes that have been worn by thousands of very sweaty people never really tempted me. Bowling balls are equally easy to steal really (you just need a bag), but they're equally as grim, I once found a bowling ball with chewing gum stuck inside the fingerhole yeeeerk. I got my graduation photos back the other day you'd think if your parents care about your graduation they'd tell you that your hat is wonky as the photos are taken, but no, so I look like a bit of an idiot (as opposed to a complete idiot?) Did they say that the peel session songs will never be released? I wonder what songs will they have on the new single.. I love my car? That new song (songs? are they the same song?) in Ipswich and Birmingham? I just realised that this is my fourth post in a week, can you tell that I have too much free time? I can, but don't feel bad if you couldn't, I've had more time to work it out.

Message-ID: Hello to all, My name is Chris, and this here would be my first official post to this here list. I live in Portland, OR right now, so I suppose I can relate on a very minor level to all of you Londoners with your bad weather and all. But not really, as we've had a very pleasant summer thus far into the year--sorry to gloat, but it's true. At least you all have your picnics. It doesn't seem as though the invisible twee among us in P-town have the organizational skills to unite for a picnic. Or at least I'm putting my foot in my mouth and speaking out of turn; perhaps we have them all the time and I just don't know about it. At any rate, it's high time we have one, as I'm convinced there hasn't been one yet. Agreed about wasps, but a good game of kickball always makes up for any inconveniences imposed by insects. I recently made the voyage down south to wonderful San Francisco for the PopFantasy 2001 extravaganza, and let me tell you! I had more fun than two barrels full of monkeys! A lot of you have talked about the Aislers Set, so I am sure you're then also familiar with the How, #Poundsign# and the Fairways. Amazingly enough, they all played a set in those four tantalizing days. Along with Ciao Bella, Tullycraft, Aerospace, Girlfrendo, Boyracer, the Cannanes, the Lucksmiths, the Brittle Stars, Hideki Kaji, Yuji Oniki, the Tyde, Lunchbox, Moonrace, Bennett, Scrabbel and Comet Gain. But to those other Sinisterites out there who also made the Mecca for popfest, you already knew that. Speaking of which, are there any of you who happened to go this year? Have you also ever at any given point in time been a Cutie Clubber? I met a tremendous number of us C.C.'ers at that fun little festival. That was quite extraordinary. So enough backtracking, yes, if you've got the modem speed, you should check in on that Aislers Set broadcast; every time I've seen them, they blow me away. Ahhh, but the Fairways--no true B&S fan should be without "Is Everything All Right?" About stealing bowling shoes. I've often contemplated the same thing, as have numerous friends of mine. The biggest problem that I see in pulling off this feat (no pun intended) is this, often, the bowling alleys will mar the shoes with big ugly Sharpie marks along the side. Usually a number corresponding to the cubby hole they belong to. The trick isn't how to get away with it, that's easy. But how on earth to find a pair that don't have marker down the side. Plus, as mentioned, they're often rather smelly...and all of those feet. Ick. Spreadables: let me say, I like my english muffins about like so: toasted lightly, but enough to be hot, and then spread thinly with Vegemite, not your Marmite stuff. Next, I like to apply a rather liberal coat of peanut butter over that. Nowhere is there butter on my toast when there's Vegemite on it. Butter is alright with preserves, now that I like. But the best spread of all is Nutella. Creamy and sweet. But too much ruins the yumminess, because it's almost too sweet for so early in the morning, Chris _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

MIRACLE: the other night i bowled a 159. despite the feeling that the world has polarized itself against me constantly, and really, what better forum than a room divided into slabs of wood late at night to explicate such an unwordly disposition, due to some grotesque cosmic reversal of fortune, i scored a bunch of strikes including a TURKEY (which i was immediately informed was an appropriate thing for ME to obtain) and the hearts of all the girls at the bowling alley who had not doused their bleached hair with 7 and a half cans of hair spray. they had bangs, too. and stonewashed jeans. so my plasticman-esque form at the alley was the ballroom equivalent of fred astaire. i swear it. oh, about BOWLING SHOES again. the previous bowling excursion saw me arrive at the alley with flip flops and no socks. weep for me, as the funny looking chain smoking too tight shirt wearing bowling alley don informed me they had none of those disposable socks. so i had to wear bowling shoes with NO SOCKS. if this sounds disgusting, well it is. it's worse, actually. the thing is, although very stylish and equally comfortable (with some sort of initial foot covering) they are equipped with absolutely no ventilation. and to think they were assembled by a motley group of third world starved children. kathie lee gifford, i hope you're happy. also. maybe i'm one of the few people in the world who still uses bar soap. when i was in SUPER WAL-MART last night buying some new BARS and i was greeted with an almost cataclysmic reaction by my female friends. apparently they use that furry creature known as a POOF, which sounds a bit iffy to me, and liquid soap. i didn't quite buy the nomenclature of this creature, as i referred to it as SHOWER PUFF and WATER FRAMACE. the girl buying it and i decided to call it whatever it rang up as. so as the delightful wal mart employee slid that neon green blob over the infrared box we watched the black and green screen and across it wept "BATH ACCESS 1.19". bath access. clearly. and with that, no content or otherwise, i bid you adieu the nerdy shy-eyed pacifist blake +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I'd like to thank whoever recommended opalmusic to me, as they're wonderful!!! So quick, and so many things I want. Although I really should curse you, because I have spent lots of money there in the last three days, gone about �70 over my overdraft limit, and been charged another �20 by my bank. Never go to the Bank of Scotland, they're crap..... they charge you every time you breathe in their general direction....... But the best thing that came out of the whole thing is that I now ownJD (I know, I'm slow...am I outcast now???!?!) and a box set of B&S stuff, (I don't know what stuff, but it'll be nice to own anyway - phew, content!) and best of all, Camera Obscura 'Eighties Fan', which is just AMAZING , so thanks to everyone who mentioned that at any point in my list life (this is like the oscars getting, or maybe the baftas, the slightly lower budget version). on the subject of bread-spreads, my last words are : Milky Bar Spread. ken - wonky hats are bad, but when I was twelve my family let me get my photo taken with my entire skirt tucked into my tights, THAT was bad. And I didn't even know until the photos were developed.... asm - yes, I love Pulp too, esp. the old stuff, nothing else reminds me of mid- teen years quite so much, except maybe Supergrass and Ash. erm, had lots of other things to say that were really interesting (no I didn't, I just can't think of a way to finish my post.......)so adios lyns --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using DISS Web Mail. http://www.abdn.ac.uk/local/mailman/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

West Coast dates. knew it was inevitable... but still. feeling woozy. tylenol please. Someone. Composure. (yuck I just had a Shatner-esque moment there it seems) So that lovely road trip out yonder to California I was hoping for seems like it's not going to happen since, once again, I've switched my funds to another long-term goal. I need to be serious about saving up since there's always that 'oh I'll just buy it since I'll use it/it'll last me for a long long time...so what's the harm?' I need to be frugal dammit. Until I acheive that personal breakthrough.... *poof!* You hear that? That was the sound of my plans to see B&S. Matt said: 'I see Red Bull everywhere now though. I think I saw it in that movie 'Legally Blonde' last weekend, but I can't be sure.' I saw that film. Kinda cute. I didn't see any Red Bull beverages anywhere though. For the first time in my life though, while watching that film I felt like joining a sorority. Well done Belfast Bob! Nice to have another official band person up on stage, not that I'll have a chance to see him play, but I digress :) Yes, I was one of those people who though he was a girl when I first saw the cover. But he could be a model with that androgynous look of his. I haven't bought cd's in a while (subconscious attempt at frugality I suppose)and I'm feeling a bit out-of-it in terms of music. It's kind of strange though because it's like when one has one of their senses dulled...another sense gets heightened. So I've switched my interets to other things or I've found greater interest in older things. It's really really hot out and I'm feeling the affects of it...so if this post makes absolutely no sense well there's a reason. Tim Meskers talked about Irvine Welsh. I read the Acid House which was really entertaining in a warped way (especially the bit about Rico the Squirrel. What the hell?!). So I read it but that was enough of that feller. B&S day is a nice idea xx Michelle mitten xx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

"I spent the summer wasting/ The sky was blue beyond compare" I just returned from my college-seeing trip in the Northeast. It was a week of driving around in a rented silver Pontiac Sunfire named Stevie, listening to Glaxie 500 until my mother complained, and getting lost somewhere between Cambridge and Boston. There's nothing like being 17 and being unsure of where you'll be the next year, and having no better luck with career plans either. I'm sure life after college doesn't get any easier, listening to the tales of other Sinisterites. I know I shouldn't be using Sinister as a college-searching utility, but if you happen to go to a college in the East coast, do you think you can share your insight of your school? That would be greatly appreciated. Oh! And when I was in Rhode Island, I saw a big B+S display outside a record store, and I was so excited I took a picture. I am jealous of whoever got a Jonathan David video in a record store, because there are absolutely no record stores where I live. Yay! B+S in the US. Although I live in Florida, I am most definetly driving to wherever B+S may land on the West Coast, probably in California. I wonder if anyone is hosting a "picnic" (such a foreign word!) before the concert? Well, I shouldn't get carried away; they haven't even announced anything yet, I think. I keep on having nightmares about the Emcee in the play "Cabaret". I went to see Cabaret when I was in NY, and the light kept on reflecting on his nipples, because he had red sequins attached to them. It was so eerie it made me laugh. I have been volunteering at the museum lately. It's a relatively easy job, pasting articles into scrapbooks. I work with a 50-year old woman who constantly makes eyes at the man who comes in to make coffee for us. I get embarrassed for her. And there is a Dirk Bogarde look-alike at the museum office; that's never good. I've been listening to a lot of Sigur Ros lately. Thanks to Blake for the strong recommendation. I think he sings in "Hopelandish", or whatever it is called, but I can't tell, since I can't speak Icelandic. I have also been listening to Archaic Smile. Has anyone heard of them? Well, that's all for me.

But it will come, oh, come it will, if I can just lug that buik to the computer one more time. After the extensive response to my proleptic report on Fr. McCabe's wake, I have decided to hold back on that too. I see that 'Peter Miller' has refrained from answering my last post. Could it be that he just has no answers to the incisive questions I put? I think it must be. That is to say: he has lost his Big Book About The Buggles. Edna Welthorpe has not posted in at least a week now. But I am missing most especially David Moore. Could he have become confused and gone off to sort out the peace process? A book about value that is quite valuable is Barbara Hernstein Smith's CONTINGENCIES OF VALUE (1988). Her opening discussion of what Shakespeare is pretty poptastic; I mean, relevant to pop. She writes like a writer, too. Has anyone ever been to Madison, Wisconsin? If someone there offered to publish a book by you, would you accept? Would it depend whether they came from 'the right side of the tracks'? A song that is quite good is Paul McCartney's - oh, no, I have said that before. Let me start again. I'll think of something. A song that is quite good is 'Goodbye Girl', by the Squeeze. Nick Dastoor, who is not reading this, will not be interested to know whether 'Goodbye Girl' is or is not a love song. He makes out that he thinks that songs are only interesting if they are 'performed in a modern style'. Perhaps he really does think it. Ou, aussie, est le Cookie96 de, um, l'automne? et, aussi, La Ours de, um, Care? Et aussi le Miel lui-meme? Pynchon updates have been suspended. For how long? For ever. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

It's going to be, as has already been said, a barbecue on the beach. North Berwick beach, to be precise, because it's easy to get to, not too far away, and nice and yellow and sandy. We'll be bringing a three-pack of those disposable mini-barbecues you can buy in the supermarket and some rocket fuel for lighting them. We welcome MORE FIREPOWER from anyone else with a bunsen burner or similar, because rubbing sticks together is Just Too Slow. What you bring to cook on said hardware is up to you. We'll reserve at least one of the barbecues for veggie food if that's what people want. If you want to roast a whole sheep, please remember that it takes a nice big bonfire, a spit, and about 7 hours cooking time (one of us has witnessed such a preparation over the course of about fifteen cans of Heineken...) Of course, feel free to bring along the usual picnic grub as well: Haribo, vodka, langoustines, a few small sherries, vodka, whatever you want to eat, whatever you want to share, and maybe some vodka. OK. Details. The easiest way for most people to get to North Berwick---and the way *we'll* be going---is by train from Edinburgh Waverley station. Trains leave at 7 and 37 minutes past the hour. We plan to travel on the 13:37 train, and we'll hang around either on the appropriate platform or outside WH Smith from about one o'clock so we can all meet up, tickets purchased and ready to go (or tickets not purchased and ready to spend the half-hour ride hiding in the loo). If you miss the train, there's another one half an hour later. If that happens, or if you want to make your own way there, you can meet us on the beach. We should make it clear that North Berwick has two beaches. The one we're referring to lies to the left hand side of the main street and stretches from the left hand side of the harbour and the lido (as you look out to sea), to the west. If you get lost, you can always phone us---see below for the numbers. Once we reach the beach, we'll probably make camp some way along the shore, probably near the golf links outside the Royal Marine Hotel, if we can all be bothered to walk that far. The beach gets even nicer a bit further along, but that means walking about a mile... If it's raining, we'll go to a cafe (surely not?) or pub (that sounds more like it) or some other place of refreshment. This is where those awfully modern mobile telephone things come in to play. Gordon's number is 07977 507 293, and Will's is 07990 575 869. We might also try smoke signals. Any questions, email us: gogron at netscapeonline.co.uk or wpsalt at btinternet.com If you want to come but have never met anyone from the list before, feel free to get in touch so we can put your fears to rest :-) Gordon Will P.S. If you want to paddle (and you *know* you will ;-), remember a towel and whatever you normally swim in (like a paddling pool, for example). P.P.S. Sorry, we meant "If you want to ease your feet off in the sea..." :-) See you on the 28th! -- http://www.btinternet.com/~wpsalt ICQ 66321009 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I meant it to be a bit of a pun, but I'm not very good at things like that. It turned out the pun was much better than I had intended but should not have been seen by the unblemished minds of sinister tweefolk. NEW SINGLE Ken Chu has been on heat lately, purely in a posting sense. I, like Gina, don't think that I Love My Car will be the a-side to the new single. It's too odd and would get zero radio play. The new song at Ipswich is much more of a likely candidate. I will try and get hold of recordings for both this and the Birmingham gig to try and decide whether the new songs were different. Why does the Jeepster site still refer to JD as Jonathan & David? I would have thought the record label that released it could have got the title right, even if HMV et al. couldn't SMOKE I wasn't going to wear my Stow t-shirt at the picnic, but I've been provoked now. It is very big so I can hide inside it, then Mr. Casarotto won't be able to find me. DRIBBLING OBSESSION This is not my obsession with dribbling, but more my dribbling as a result of my obsession with Struan. I have been reading The Picture Of Dorian Gray and decided my obsession is like that of Basil Hallwards. Unfortunately he comes across as a very sad, meek and socially depraved man.

I had no clue it would be a list for writers (which i wish to be) all over the world. For the past two weeks I have read every post. I have loved the fact that as I was reading Trainspotting, loving the chapter where Spud empathizes with a squirrel, someone on this list mentions it. I love the fact that as I listened to Nick Drake's Way To Blue, the subject of one post was about him. And I have purple bowling shoes that I stole from wearing a pair of 99cent flipflops to the bowling alley. *though be careful, they grow suspicious when you ask for certain colors* Most of all, I love the fact that you all incorporate MUSIC into your lives in a completely hipster way. I saw Belle and Sebastian at RAH. I was probably standing right next to at least one of you! I was right in front, bopping like there was no tomorrow. I have been to a bunch of concerts, but I have never ever felt like that before. What I began to realize there was that I live in the wrong place. I don't mean that I should just leave and move to London, just that Long Island doesn't do it for me. I just don't dig lipliner My favorite part in any belle and sebastian song is probably during "put the book back on the shelf" You came to dance, but there's no poignancy When they all leave you standing alone just thought i'd share that. i guess i should leave with a quote or something. i dunno.hmmmmmmm "Do not do unto others as you would them do unto you. They might not have the same taste." -george bernard shaw peace love grilled cheese sandwiches and one ticket to the west coast, alice virginia ===== All of you who are leaders: Follow me __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

He did not reply because he was not yet ready to Report Back. I think that this has to be cleared up before any more damage is done to his name. I mean, 'Miller' - that's bad enough. Alice Virginia (what a name!) said that she was living in the wrong place and Long Island was dull. (I don't know what 'lipliner' is. I am translating Roughley, I mean, roughly). I think she should stop worrying about that. Where I come from we think Long Island is the height of glamour. It has its own sound, too, I mean, Sound. Glasgow had to work for years to get the Glasgow Sound, but Long Island produced the Long Island Sound immediately. Her other name is the Merry Prankster, which as Ciaran Carson might say reminds me of Joan Didion, whose White Album I was reading yesterday, which reminds me of Lloyd Cole (of course) and - Peter Miller. It all works out. Didion talks about 'jaycees' and I had to wonder if these were named after the editor in The Bell Jar, who turns up, by the way, in diluted and diminished form, on the last song of I Think You Dropped A Moonbeam, whose last song is named after something that Esther Greenwood says to her. Speaking of that, I have finally found that Irving Berlin record I have been looking for. Whoever can tell me what the best 5 Irving Berlin songs are wins a prize from the Irving Berlin foundation; at least, that's what they tell me. I cannot yet work out whether Berlin was a) a subtle, classy and moving songwriter or b) a sort of high-kicking sloganeer. I am beginning to think that the critics' easy coupling of him and Porter is a bit of an error. A record which is quite good is Bruce Springsteen's TUNNEL OF LOVE, which features tons of pleasures. A band who like Bruce Springsteen are Deacon Blue. The good news for pop fans is that they are back, I mean, de retour. Like B&S they are making great play with their Glasgwegian origins in between-song banter. Their set is roughly as follows: YOUR TOWN RAINTOWN TWIST AND SHOUT LOADED REAL GONE KID WAGES DAY [two or three new songs] WHEN WILL YOU MAKE MY TELEPHONE RING? FERGUS SINGS THE BLUES DIGNITY HOMESICK encore: CHOCOLATE GIRL I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN QUEEN OF THE NEW YEAR I cannot imagine why anyone would give away their copy of the Raintown LP. It is - I now realize - a pretty high quality debut. Whether it is as good a debut as Tigermilk, I am not sure. A critic who is quite good is F.R. Leavis? Or is he? I have been rereading him and am still not really convinced. I have also been rereading Lionel Trilling, but I don't intend to start that one up again. Kermode update: as far as we know, Professor Sir Frank, whose imprimature still appears on the back of The Crying of Lot 49, is still alive. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

References: <20010721104154.17056.qmail@web5301.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <001301c111e0$1580e5c0$cdb07ad5@g> Hello you fellows. Since reading (The) Pine Fox's last post I've been fighting the compulsion to lock myself in a cupboard and reel of the names of everyone who has ever influenced me. I could be there for hours, calling out authors, bands, listees, artists, critics and miscellaneous others (HOURS). The level of gratuitous referencing was, I'm sure you'll all admit, truly astounding... surely it can't be an accident, it must take a concerted effort to produce something like that. So what's his motivation? I have some theories. 1. It's an attempt to take over the list by forcing us all into cupboards where we'll sit name-dropping (in reply) until we collapse from red-bull depravation. But Mr. Fox... what fun will the list be when everyone else is gone? (note, at the time of writing, his is the most recent post. I'm worried about the rest of you. Ring/text/email your Sinister friends... if there's no reply then go around to their houses and retrieve them from those cupboards). 2. He's trying to hide his real influences... Mills and Boon novels and Abba. (Admit it PF, living a lie is getting too much for you.) 3. He's suffering from some sort of referencing fever... Good god, get this man to a doctor. 4. It's a bit of a windup, he's seeing how far he can reference before we realise he's being silly... Perhaps it's like that shake-hands-man on Banzai. [Product placement] I managed to resist this urge to reference/hibernate-in-a-cupboard by eating half a kilogram of cold Ambrosia custard. I only ever eat it cold, no-one else agrees with me on this, they all prefer it hot. Surely there are some more cold custard people out there. Do you find it chilling that cold Ambrosia really is the food of the gods? If I eat enough will I be deified... or just grow fat? Were the Gods fat? Damn you Pine Fox... more of this and I'll go lardy (though not lame). On a sort of linked subject... It occurs to me that a remarkable number of people mention 'editors' in their posts... is there a correlation between Journalists and liking Belle & Sebastian (like the English student thing). If so,,,, what happened to those clowns at the eNeM(E)y? (Don't get me started on that publication, I bought a copy the other day and it was full of Hip-hop and dance... a big spread on Aia napa (sp?) Vs Ibiza... Judas! I threw it out in disgust). I suppose English students are more likely to have a journalistic streak. I have a plan to get rich, it occured to me as I was eating lunch... if people like croutons, surely they like their soup to crunch... With today's technology I'm sure we can make crunchy soup... people can enjoy that wet yet crunchy feel without the hassle of opening the crouton packet. (people are all for these time saving malarkies... shampoo with conditioner, soap with moituriser, soup with croutons, perhaps we can combine them all. Crunchy-soap-soup: for a shiny, healthy lower intestine). I'm running off to the patent office now... I'll be rich, rich goddamnit! Yes well... *cough*... Love and other stuff. Jonny.

Pleased to meet you all, and to share experiences and knowledge. It's great to be in contact with other fans, as here in Brazil there aren't many. Indeed, it is very rare to find a B and S fan. It is not going to be hard to find something to write about in my firs post. I had a great time last night, I think I should talk about it. I went to a place called Brit Café. The music there was awesome (according to my "british taste") and I was always talking to the Dj, telling him: "Some Belle and Sebastian now, please!" You may think I am an idiot, but that meant a lot to me. As well as "Supersonic" being played just after "She's losing it". When you have friends and good music around, what else do you need? Ok, a ride home. I'm not going to write too much, cause I have to write too much everyday and it is a cold Sunday morning here and life is calling me. I love Sundays. I love cold mornings. I love it when the Sunday morning calls. Oh, the day is grey and i will listen to some 80's pop right now and laugh a little bit. Have a nice day! (and wish me luck in october...b and s is coming to Brazil) Daniela _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

The more perceptive or bored amongst you will have noticed that the Sinister archives on the web site fell in a heap sometime last week. The space to house these archives and the facilities which allow my held-together-with-string software to run are kindly lent from another site (nodata.org), and that site has had a hard disk failure, a fact that rather sort of underlines its choice of domain name in red and puts a ring round it. Poor Aunt Sadie in the chatroom suffered a fall too, but she has had a hip replacement, for those who have met her and may be concerned. Eek, as I typed that very sentence I've just realised that means the photo galleries have disappeared too and goodness knows what else, so I'll have to go back and add to the web page. As Miss Print, I should also assure the managers of other lists at that live missprint.org that I'll try and knock things back to into shape when I'm able. I'm sorry about this, and would suggest if you can't get to the archives and want to read the list then to subscribe for now, but I have a suspicion that there's a logic problem involved somewhere in making that suggestion in this mail. Anyway. When poor Heath who kindly lends this space has (I hope) restored or replaced the disk, I'll set about restoring the archives from copies, and meantime I'll work on the photo galleries. The list will continue to work as usual, so don't worry about mails being lost. I have backups and currently believe none of your photos are lost, and am quite sure none of your past mails are ok, so don't start hoping that the embarrassing things you said about Jethro Tell in 1997 are gone. No way. Restoring the archives will take some time - last time we moved it took weeks, due to various geeky reasons, and I have no reason to believe these won't occur again, being a follower of the deterministic materialistic school of philosophy, should it actually exist. A lot more people have mailed me for stuff that the surrogate list mummy Linda can't do and I have to, and they will have to be patient souls, as always, but more so, because I am not feeling very chipper after the wild sex-crazed drug-mashed time I had at all those concerts (staying up til 12:30am, eating crisps, etc.). * All Your Basses Are Belong To Us * On the subject of Jethro Tull, or thereabouts, Peter Miller and a few others have asked about Phil Lynott's perspex bass, supposedly in Stuart's possession, and whether it goes "bong". I am dismayed to inform you that sources in the palace have denied that fact that the bass was ever Phil's. I think they said it was a present from the band to Stuart though as prevously stated - aw. So sorry to be the bringer of bad news on both counts.

I’m in Michigan and will be driving, so this is basically an offer to pick up the coolest people, sinister listees – of course, on my way west. A bit premature-we don’t even know the dates yet, you say. I suppose that I’m just HYPED about quitting my job and seeing Belle & Sebastian and having a wild time.

A MIDWEST PICNIC I still consider myself a newish listee, but I’m taking the lead and SERIOUSLY suggesting a picnic PARTY in the wisconsin, chicago, michigan, and indiana area. Yes, I realize that this is a large geographic area. But .any ideas are welcome. Once I tally where all you guys are, we can decide on the locale(s). I RECOMMEND OhGr’s Welt CD: whether you like electronica or not, its fascinatingly GREAT, especially Pore.

Its vegetarian unlike regular marshmallows. And its most often produced by a company that makes their millions off other highly-processed foods, like one-minute macaroni and powdered cheese. Yes, this is capitalism. I have no editter, and I have never been a major in the english party. I thought that was witty, but perhaps not. I was told I was an idealist, so I looked up the exact meaning of an 'ideal' - something that exists only in the mind without fault or a conception embodying perfection. Are all b&s fans idealists to some extent? Maybe idealists with a touch of cynacism(sp)? amy b. ps. i don't know what on earth marmite is, but it sounds like a sort of tick. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <000001c113a8$a708f4a0$8a225ad4@pbncomputer> unless I write. This is no declaration etc. Well actually it is, and I hope you all pick up on that little pun, you being my honorary lovers and presumably you will be reading this in some version of Windows unless you like penguins anyway... I wouldn't normally crowd your inboxes so frequently but most people seem to be playing boring buggers and there is a distinct lack of posts, probably because sinister officially dislikes summer and so do I. Cause I did eventually get a job, but I have to get up at six. I'm supposed to be on hols. But that's life. There has been some fire in the sinister belly recently (another bad pun, this boy's on form tonight) with the harshest fighting talk I ever did hear coming from Mr. Jonathan Howell: I sincerely hope you know PF personally, Mr Howell, because if someone accused ME of being a closet Mills and Booner I'd fly into a rage and drop big boxes of Ian Banks books on their house. Anyway, my declaration: (I had two but I've forgotten one, ach, it'll come to me) I'm sticking up for Isobel. saccharine , yes, asthmatic hamster, yes, relatively ample behind, certainly, but Family Tree is nice, you can't pretend it isn't. And she easily gets away with the ample behind. I think she remains really sweet and still a good musician, and I'd share my ribena with her anytime, providing she asked nicely and promised not to drink it all. Well maybe I'd let her drink most of it, but only if I had another. Well, she could drink it all if she asked really nicely and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I know why there are frequent comments, though, (excluding the fact that a fair amount of the Gentle Waves stuff really does suck and blow at the same time) and the reason is this: I bet loads of you were in love with her until you heard her comments about your stinky teddybears that you'd sent, which turned her into your mortal enemy and makes you feel guilty because you know that Little Paws is rotting in a landfill site. My new thing to hate:critics. Especially the media variety. Because, someone works hard on a film, puts years into it, a lot of money, a lot of time, and voila! An hour and a half sat in front of it munching free company snacks and shifting about on their big fat arses, and suddenly the critic has hundreds of suggestions and thinks they could do better themselves. Come on, constructive criticism, it's not in any way constructive, because it's totally ignored. If the cinematographer or producer or whatever does much the same thing again but better, using the constructive criticism, then it's not original, which will in turn gain a slating. It is, as everyone keeps mentioning, ages since Mr. Miller posted but we wait eagerly in anticipation... Which reminds me, saw a good t-shirt the other day, it was for the sheffield film unit and it said, "how will the film unit conspire to bollocks things up this time?" "We wait with baited breath..." Does anyone else get "hippy" and "peace, man!" yelled in there faces when they are out in corduroy flares and diamond print tank top? Hmm. pointing and giggles Tom P.S. : I know it's a long shot but will anyone be in Newquay (Fistral) the week following August 18th? If so, paint "sinister" across your face and wave a large flag. P.P.S. I tried to think of an anecdote concerning a small pack of hunting type dogs so I could use the pun, "beagle clan", but I couldn't so if anyone else can they are welcome to it. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Rachle said, while talking marmite and hangover cures: "the rest of the cure btw is 1 pint water + 1 black coffee + 1 banana - never fails" Indeed - never underestimate the power of bananas. Especially banana sandwiches. Toasted ones. Yummy. In other news, I've succeeded in bending the spine on a copy of Gravity's Rainbow. So far It's kept me interested for about 30 pages - largely due to some impressive banana-related passages that made me hungry - and I fear I may finish it. I doubt if I can be bothered to Report Back when I do. Daniela said: "I love Sundays. I love cold mornings" I love Sundays more than I love The Sundays but not as much as I love cold sundaes. It took me a long time to get used to them since for years they used to remind me of avoiding unfinished homework by watching Howard's Way. Now they remind me of sunny afternoons in quiet village pubs in the South Downs. And cricket. Except I hate cricket. Ken Chu hasn't posted for ages. Hope he's OK. Where the hell is George Dickie??

For those of you who don't know, for some of the time I've been in America visiting the wondrous artsydeco at aol.com. More wondrous is the girl in the flesh than she is on the computer. I'm certainly very excited about her mix tape, and about the fact she's visiting little old England in less than a month. If anyone is having any picnics during the later part of august I'll bring her along. Secondly, and possibly the thing I got most excited about was the message from Honey, saying "Poor Aunt Sadie in the chatroom suffered a fall too, but she has had a hip replacement, for those who have met her and may be concerned. " I'm unsure about whether I'm right or not, but this may well have been a cryptic reference to THE HIP REPLACEMENT E.P by EUROSEXUALS. It may not be, but something_sinister said she was spreading the word in #sinister, so I live in hope. So, that's www.bondynet.demon.co.uk/eurosexuals , if anyone is interested. Despite what the website says, it is ready, and will be shipped as soon as possible. Apologies for the blatent plug. As far as the subject header is concerned, Paul Bear-slice is my new favourite name. It came from a mis-hearing of 'Polar Bear Fight', and is undoubtedly wonderful. A story entitled 'Paul Bear-slice and the Wolf' has already been written, and I'm sure more Bear-slice inspired things will follow. In reference to the ongoing Isobel debate... while in America I came up with a theory that Isobel is in-fact a foul temptress of the lowest kind. This theory is concurred with by the wonderful Kara, and is therefore passed into the annals of fact. Anyway, just think of the gentle waves stuff you've heard. Most of it seems to scream 'Look at me, I'm really really really cute and innocent and lovable". The fact that doing this all the time usually makes it sound shit doesn't really bother her as long as it's getting the me ssage across. Added to this, 'Swansong for You' (as well as playing the old pop trick of making out that she's singing a song to YOU) has a picture of her stroking a CAT on the front. How much more 'I'm innocent and sweet, please love me' can you get? Anyway, I always pictured Mr. Murdoch falling hook line and sinker for that, and trailing around after her like a love sick puppy while she has him unclogging drains, changing her tyres, cleaning out her hamster and various other non-twee activities. And all the while she's screwing the milk-man on HIS piano (hence the sweat)! It's sick. Well, I think that's the 15 minute limit gone, I'm sure there were other things I wanted to say, but for the moment be well, Peter +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

My friend is going to Scotland in a few weeks, and he desperately wants to know the details on Stuart's church/(former) place of work. Does anyone know anything? Is it even still standing? Any help would be appreciated, And if you thought that was uninteresting, check this out... I don't remember if 15 minutes is the minimum or maximum, so I'll continue on. I got VH1 Classic last week, which is a must for any 80's pop music fan, and I saw a video for the Zombie's "Time of the Season", followed directly by the Byrd's "Turn, Turn, Turn", both of which were covered by our very own B+S. How (un)exciting! even less interesting is... I saw the movie "Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle" last night. It was pretty good, and I recommend it for a cheap rental. It's better than most of the dreck out there anyway. I was wondering if everyone's favorite Dorothy Parker enthusiast had any thoughts. as if it couldn't get any worse... My birthday is exactly 5 months after B+S Day. I'm just not that special. And last, and probably the least: Is anyone else going to the Radiohead show in Atlanta next week? I'll be there with some friends, and although chances are about .0003% that I'll actually see you maybe I'll wear a shirt or a pin just in case. You never know. Oh, and even a longer shot, if anyone is going to the Birmingham (Alabama, that is) *NSYNC show on August 8th, you won't be suffering alone. I'll probably wear a belle and sebastian shirt then too. My car would have had a b+s sticker, until some local hooligans shattered my back windshield...argh.... that's more than enough for now, so bye bye bye -Matt _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

DO PROMOTION AND TV Thank you to everyone who's been digitally manipulating my work to the top of the charts at www.badosa.com . My Editor has very sensibly suggesting reducing the number of paragraphs, so as to improve "cognitive immersion". Quite what clockwork water heaters have got to do with it is anybody's guess. But there are now fewer paragraphs. ASHES TO ASHES Speaking of Editors, Mount Edna has erupted! Edna now has four active craters spewing forth molten lava! Clearasil, Edna, Clearasil!

Bought the new Super Furries record yesterday, and thought it was a bit on the shit side when I listening to it through headphones on the way home, and then realised its true grateness when I put it on my hi-fi in my house. Very strange. Perhaps it�s because it�s all in surround sound, and I�ve got a posh stereo� Anyway, it�s good, and I�d recommend it. �No Sympathy� is genius. Saw Jurassic Park 3 last night, too. Now there�s a movie that could do with being soundtracked by B&S. It was fantastically awful, and I mean that literally � it was so awful that it was actually fantastic. But seriously, they could have done with �You Made Me Forget My Dreams� at the end though � it would have worked really well, having the twee bit while the couple snogged (okay they didn't snog, but they Got Back Together), and then the drum machine coming in at the end when the pterodactyls* escape, in order to provide suitable, if weak ammunition for the fourth film. So that's JP4, same time, same place, in four years? I�LL BE THERE! Went to a club called Desperate on Friday. It�s a Pulp thing, and the mighty Jarve was playing some decidedly dubious 80s-tinged tracks. Hmmm and double Hmmm. The band (A.R.E. Weapons, apparently they�re mates with The Strokes) was decidedly shit, too. I also noticed that you can get some of the EPs on 7�, but they only have two tracks on them. What�s the point of that then? Oh well, confusion continues. Oh yeah, and it�s official, my knee is properly fucked. Ruptured cruciate ligament, apparently. I need an operation. It will be next March on the NHS, or next week privately. Anyway, see you all on Saturday� Love Asm.x P.S. Is anybody on the list going to the Benicassim festival in Spain? If you are, email me and we�ll meet up. That offer extends in particular to any members of B&S, if you are reading� *My computer actually knew how to spell pterodactyl. I�m ridiculously impressed. ================= "Shut up!

Message-ID: <004601c1146b$10280940$2edc883e@pcd1588.nottingham.ac.uk> Hello, I haven't posted in a few days, sorry, I've been busy having furious sex with kpc98c at cs.nott.ac.uk. He is quite a charmer, a bit like me even. Whilst having such furious sex I had put together a very make-shift mini-sinister-archive on http://www.cockscrew.com/sinister. It probably isn't very useful cos it only started archiving yesterday, only updates every 30 minutes and it's in my university account's web space so it can well be cut off quite soon. Hope it helps someone anyway. Also in that time frame of course was looking for a new house to live (failed) looking for a job (failed) pick up girls (failed), at least I picked up a boy, I was better off cos at least I know where to put in. Peter Carter said: >>And all the while she (Isobel)'s screwing the milk-man on HIS piano (hence the sweat)! It's sick.<< The pay was a mere £3 an hour, but boy did I enjoy doing my milk rounds. elenita 99 said: >>"The meeting point is on top of the hill, that is when you cannot climb further."<< I'm quite sure that last time when I couldn't climb further I wasn't at the top of the hill :-) Talking of weak legs, I was in London the other day, and after playing a tremendous game of DDR the d!a!n!c!i!n!g! arcade machine, my legs were very wobbly, and then I walked through the dodgy SOHO area of London, people looked at me in disgust as I walked down a street full of sex places, looking embarrassed and my legs crippling. Moral of the story, drink some Red Bull before you walk into dodgy Soho, then it's a winner, no matter what you decide to do there. Weak legs and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: Before you girls kill me in jealously, I didn't really have furious sex with Kenneth P Y Chu, I know you all fancied him. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

SOMEONE forgot their second declaration and said it would come to them, well, I THINK I know what they were going to say, it was about picnics, oh yes... That person was absolutely digusted to read (a bit ago) that someone else took biscuits to a picnic only to find individually bought mass produced sandwiches and single cartons of Ribena, with nothing being shared. I don't know if it was a one off but I...I mean, they, bluddy hope so. At this gig-less time us sinisterees should stick together and make friends face to face with other sinisterbites, so please please please take something to share when going to picnics. Ribena, however, can be sipped from your own carton. Is what they wanted to say, I think. From A random critic (oh no!) who would never dream of wearing cords. Urgh! P.S.

I don't know where to start, I've just spent the last few days knee deep in sinister, ploughing through what must have been at least 180 postings. I thought it was weird that I wasn't hearing from the lot of you for a while, until I realized that everything was going straight to my junk mail folder. So the result is that I have now got loads of replies to things that have been written, most of which have been said already- the postings were *that* old. Serves me right for being such a computer dunce. I was watching Ally McBeal the other night, when it occurred to me that the guy that plays Richard looked oddly familiar, as if he reminded me of someone else. I then realized who it was - our very own Struan! Has anybody else noticed or am I the only one who sees B&S heads on normal people? I must be an official sinister now because B&S have started to pervade my dreams. Legal Man was playing the other day on one, I dunno about content, though. Maybe I should forget about the whole sinister thing, I'm not sure it's very healthy. Or maybe that's precisely the point. Well, that's all for now. No, not really. I just thought I'd say that because it makes Sam Walton smile when I do and don't finish immediately. And if I can make at least one person smile today, it'll have been a worthwhile day :)(I AM the queen of twee!). I'd just like to join in the debate and say that I L!O!V!E! summer. It's grate, I blossom, I completely come alive, it makes the long, miserable UK winter worthwhile. I'm looking out the windows (6) and its such a beautiful evening, how can anybody not like that? And as for cars they're evil. There is no debate about that. They are evil and they make people lazy. If all cars disappeared off the face of the earth you would see an immediate change in the atmosphere and the weather would return to what it should be like. Having said that, I do own one. What a hypocrite. I don't use it often, though. Really. The Dirty Vicar Ian mentioned "Fucking Amal" recently. Funny, I'd never thought of it as B&Sey but I couldn't agree more. If it were a song it would be "She's Losing It" (and no, Ian, my ex-sister in law isn't from Sligo in Ireland; she's from Thurso, Caithness). The corduroy boy was going on about Fluff the other day. You can get it in Brazil as well, it's sold as marshmallow ice cream topping and is supposed to be mixed with three parts water which one should never do as that would ruin it. It is quite simply the ultimate in comfort food. I can MURDER a tub of the stuff when I'm down. And for the benefit of Mr. Chris Jones: of *course* B&S are a duo! Belle is the ultimate indie dog! Mmm... not too happy about B&S going to Brazil. That's gonna be an expensive one. RAH was a few tube stations away, Aberdeen more than a few, but Brazil...Looks like I'm going to have to feign a sudden interest in visiting my lunatic mother. Still, it has to be done. It's not a matter of choice anymore. Watch this space for reviews. And on that note, we draw to a close. Spread peace and love and cosmic energy, people. The Pris "You can't have everything.

(when tangueray discovered this fact, she was able to use her massive size and her hardened criminal status to gain the rights to my morning coffee and muffin, plus the ability to jab me in the ribs at any time and make me hold a curtain in front of the toilet while she relieved herself.) it was the most idiotic night, but i still felt sorry to see that part of my application all filled in while the other girl's was blank and pure and righteous-looking. the battle is on: knowledge of basic vocabulary vs. virtue. i'll announce the victor in ten to fourteen business days. kirsten Care2 make the world greener! http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I tried to get free tickets to see weezer tonight, but it didn't happen, because 1) I didn't care to sit on the sidewalk for three hours to see a band whose most recent album sucked 2) it was sponsored by trl and 3) there were 14-year old boys painted green harassing the k-rock van for tickets, and trying to steal tickets from nsync fans who "don't like weezer but it's free, and that guy is cute" (actual quote). in honor of sister "P F" disco, a book that is quite good is "a plague of murder" by colin wilson. an album that is quite good is martha reeves + the vandellas' "the ultimate collection". nice to see peter carter back. -eric ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2001 18:01:49 +1200 Subject: Sinister: Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance, to the radio. Message-ID: I finally got a copy of Jonathon David today (whoo hoo?). Those that say that TYCCASI sounds like "I've been to paradise" Are certainly not wrong. It's a kind of a disturbing trend these days- bands releasing songs that, while not being exact copies of a classic song from the play list of a 1970's AM radio station, certainly evoke enough of their "spirit" to be a rip-off. Come to think of it that "something in the Silence" or whatever it's called does the same thing , I just can't quite pin down which song it is. And don't get me started on those "artists" that sing the chorus of some long ago song and then fill the rest of the three minutes on some oblique rap. God I sound so old. Artsy Deco mentioned that David Byrne-in his youth-looked like struan. Poor deluded child, the only thing that the young David Byrne resembled was some bizarre breed of poultry. Jo Perry said that her first B&S song was mayfly- the first one I heard was Expectations, and I was sold hook, line and speaker-the most monumental four minutes in the last few years.

So, I'm going to york on saturday for a wedding so i'm afraid you will be denied my physical presence at the picnic (although i will, of course, end up phoning someone i would've thought, who's on vodaphone (and going) anyway?). Am I also correct in assuming that the York massive are going to london? If I am incorrect I'm sure a pint and good company would be appreciated if anyone fancies it, as i get in about half 2 :) I saw GR on special in the window of blackwells the other day and thought of you :) I hope the sinisterines who were in genoa are OK, i must say the italian police looked particularly heavy-handed from what i saw on the news. At least vel should be easy to spot in glasgow in her white boilersuit and bowler hat. Orb said, regarding sundays: for years they used to remind me of avoiding unfinished homework by watching Howard's Way. Now they remind me of sunny afternoons in quiet village pubs in the South Downs. Am I the only one who still gets the "oh god homework!" feeling on Sundays, despite not having had any homework to do for more years than they care to remember, generally it's if i accidentally catch the theme tune to antiques roadshow or songs of praise, or last of the effing summer wine (WHY AREN'T THEY ALL DEAD YET!!!). also if i may take this opportunity to apologise to the people i haven't sent tapes to, it's pay day on friday so i'll do it then. Dr PF: I cannot imagine why anyone would give away their copy of the Raintown LP. It is - I now realize - a pretty high quality debut. I never gave my copy away, although i seem to have misplaced my copy of Adventures through the Ultraworld by the Orb (as opposed to Orb) which a friend was after the other day, has anyone seen it? I also never gave away my copy of "it's a shame about ray" which as well as been the archetypal "short album" is also GRATE on a musical level i have recently rediscovered. also PF, tell us about go west and whether wicky woss has had that gap in his teeth fixed. I fear that priscilla may be known as "the strawberries and cream girl" for ever now, go and get strawberriesandcreamgirl at hotmail while you still can is my advice. Also going to Brazil to see a band is clearly A STEP TOO FAR (unless you live there). also on the "people struan (no i don't know either) look like" front, on stars in their arse final the other week they had a bloke doing Jim (not neil) Diamond's "I should have known better" and *actual* Jim Diamond was on and looked like an old bald stuart, in my world anyway... xoxo CarsmileSteve Baxendale next tuesday? anyone? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I had some lovely times in silent, tense dining rooms trying very hard not to drop the coffee pot or spill ketchup down my front (asking for the ketchup itself was very embarrassing, but what on earth is the point of a fried brekkie without sauce?). My mum and I talked to each other but all the other people who had gone on holiday seemed to be quite fed up of each other. When we weren't talking we stared out of the 12 ft by 12 ft window at the sea. The house had been built on the cliff top for a lady artist with more monet than talent and was a splendid tribute to grand gestures and folly. I loved it. The sea was beautiful and turbulent and it made my heart race like I was on a fairground ride. The spray flew up over the end of the pier that I was standing on and I kept wanting to get closer and closer to the waves or even jump in. What is this compulsion to do foolish things? Is there a name for it other than 'youth'? I lay on the beach in St Ives and saw a fellow wearing an Amper Sands T shirt. I had meant to wear mine that day but didn't for some reason and ended up in a short top that kept riding up and showing my stomach that had got all fat from fish and chips and fudge. My brother frolicked in the sea with his girlfriend and make me feel quite uncomfortable with their PDAs. They *droop* and *fawn* over each other. There are many reasons why I dislike this behaviour. I shall not bother to explain and attempt to justify them. Suffice to say, I am a prude who does not find it necessary to know that other people are sexually active. I'd like to think I am joking, but I fear I am not. **SIMON ARMITAGE** Big shakes to everyone who has advised me as to what to look for, etc. especially PeetSketchSteve, who make me a tape. I am saving it to listen to in bed tonight. Thank you very much. **SENILITY** I appear to have caught senilty of my mother, my grandmother or aunt sadie. Or perhaps all three. Whilst on holiday with my mum, she only annoyed me seriously three times. These were: when she pulled and pulled so hard on a door that should be pushed that the handle fell off (this happened while I was standing on the other side of the door saying "Push, Woman! Push!"); her deafness and her complete lack of spatial awareness. I am no mistress at the art of knowing right from left myself, but if it weren't for me, she's still be walking in circles round Penzance train station. Anyway, I feel like I am turning into her. My hips ache and I keep forgetting things and spilling things and I cried the other day because I felt ill, which made me feel even stupider. And then I was sick, which send the stupidometer off the scale. **THE MARMITE DEBATE SETTLED (ONCE AND FOR ALL)** Marmite and butter: Yes Marmite and peanut butter: Yes (especially with crispy lettuce) Marmite and strong cheddar: Yes (also with crisps) Bananas: No. I am afraid of them **IN WHICH MADELEINE APOLOGISES** Sorry. I've gone on for ages. love Madeleine "Sometimes you've just got to take the crunchy with the smooth" Billy Bragg. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

But I wish the media weren't spreading the news so much and making them a pop band. I have a favorite band that I cannot watch anymoe. At least not near them, because it became a huge band and everybody is interested on seeing them play, even if they don't like their music. And it's so sad when you have to spend hours and hours waiting on a line to see small dolls playing very far from your eyes. I hope I can calmly watch B and S in october...and tell you I could LISTEN and SEE them. xxxx Daniela _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

I can't complain myself. OK - I'm lying. I can always complain! I could be snuggled under the comfort of my covers listening to Struan's fey voice gently drift to me as the band played tune after melodious heart wrenching song in my bedroom with Arik (whose girlfriend somehow- i dunno - fell into a coil of rope and a mess of duct tape to find herself writhing around in a basement somewhere to be discovered at a later date completely unharmed but with a new found mission that involved unclothed pygmies, tribal dances, and body paint in a third world country where she has no ability to contact people who she used to love but no longer feels able to talk to) and I could still find the air to warm, the notes too high, and myself stuck on number three on my list of Top Ten Reasons Why Isobel's Bum Is Like The Pentagon (it's large enough to have it's on zip code, it has a distinctive shape.....) Of course, there have not been any scheduled concerts in my bedroom as of yet and I content myself with taking advantage of the warm weather and abundant woods nearby. I do not know about going to the woods to live deliberately or fronting out only the essential facts but I must say that those mosquitoes sure do try to suck out all the marrow of Llew. I am covered so completely in bites where the bugs have had their feast nibbling away at me that I'm not sure of what to do. However, I am comforted by the fact that I now have an instant game of connect the dots to entertain me wherever I am. Perhaps I will get lucky and one of them will form the silhouette of Elvis and I can be featured in the next Enquirer. Yet, with all of this I am still planning to embark on another camping trip tomorrow at Graveyard Fields. . It's the loveliest of places off of the Blue Ridge Parkway and I'm quite excited to go. The Networking Nymph Mandee posted about a Sinister Montana camping trip. I realize that it was most likely a jest but the key words of "pjs", "campfire", and "lazing" were all mentioned in conjunction with one of my favorite states. Ever since my parents took my brother camping through Yellowstone and various parts of Canada while abandoning my sister and I with a vapid babysitter who had an odd obsession with the movie "Working Girl", I have wanted to go on a long camping trip out west. I am so there, even if I have to crash it and sneak in every night to steal another one of you away to my secret hide out. For now, I shall settle with my camping trip scheduled tomorrow at Graveyard Fields (New Awlins Lauren will know of where I'm talking since that is where she lost her camping virginity). I was recently informed by Kosher Kirk that he thought due to the title "TRANSATLANTIC MIX TAPE COMPETITION" that only people across the puddle could compete. Rubbish! While I have decided to now only become romantically involved with people from other countries (this way when I'm obnoxious, neurotic, or incredibly self involved they won't take it personally but just naturally assume that it's because I'm an American), I accept tapes from anyone and everyone. Currently, I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of ear candy from Senor Jay who lives in Georgia but isn't a Braves fan (I worry how I can expect great things out of such a person as well ... but I do). Currently I've been falling in love with the latest entry which is absolutely wondrous. It ends with "You were always on my mind" followed by (my weakness) the Pixies' "Where in my mind?" Ken Chu, I love Yhu. Laura "meeting all of your Laura Llew needs since 1977" ps - Madeleine, I hope you're not feeding your cat any of that Marmite monstrosity. She has the most delicate of tummies pps - blue is my favorite color but with this new hotmail setup I feel as if I'm writing on the remains of a smurf massacre. B&S isn't the only one who needs a new business consultant. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Apart from the obvious, like they'd all have to wear co-ordinated "street" clothes and have dance routines which would be a clear improvement, it would mean that an evil pop svengali would rule their world. the upshot of this? more tours, record signings, struan and isobel dolls, B&S eye liner, pepsi drink, trading cards, even mopeds! They already have their own Geri Halliwell in Stuart David.

No band wants to write songs that are only going to be heard by 2 students and their dog. They want them to be heard by as many people as possible. Mainstream media has given me the chance to see B&S at the Royal Albert Hall rather than at the camden Falcon. I know which venue I think is better! If B&S weren't known by mainstream media and played the Uk indie toilet circuit (next stop...: Camden) I don't think there is a chance they would be jetting off to Brazil. It's a game of give and take. I want them to embrace the media. Starting with a Smash Hits cover thanks. Paul P.s. the editor of NME thinks Stuart M was the worst cover he has done under his tenure. not all media is good media obviously. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <006501c11561$e1a6caa0$e849fea9@user.msu.edu> Hullo all you Sinister People. I've recently returned from a six week trip across the big pond during which I got to see my favorite and yours; the brilliant Belle and Sebastian, not once (oh, no) but twice. The Perth and Aberdeen shows to be exact (shouts out to all the brilliant people I met, you know who you are). First though... Grate Lakes Picnic!!!!! That's right sinistereens, there's been talk of it in hushed tones and rushed emails, but nothing official so far. I'm hoping to change that. A Sinister Grate Lakes Picnic, sometime before September would probably be best, but when? Where? This is where you all come in, I've heard from some of you, but I need to hear from more. So if you're in the Great Lakes area, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indianna, etc, or just want to hang out with some sinister kids, drop me a line with suggestions on where and when and I'll try to come up with a plan as to what the best location and time would be. I'm actually thinking that somewhere in Ohio might be the best, most central location, so if you have any ideas, let me know. Right, onto other Sinistery things. I've having high School flashbacks this week as my CD and computer have been spitting out the songs of my youth at me. Billy Bragg, the Clash, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Bikini Kill, Superchunk, and many other of my punky-boy years favorites have been taking me back to those annoying yet crazy times. Velocity mentioned the protestor killed during the riots in Genoa, a very ugly incident, which it's too bad a decent cause (rebellion against out-of-control capitalism) is being taking over by twats who think it's a good idea to attack armed police by shoving a wood plank through the police van window (injuring servel police officers) and tossing things inside. It's a sad, sad situation, and a pity someone was killed. Then again, the moderate faction of the protestors need to be a bit more forceful in distancing themselves from the violent fringe, before it completely turns public opinion against them. Since when did protesting automatically equal rioting? There, that's enough politics for one post, lets talk about Isobel's ass. The Lovely Lacivious Laura Llew said: "my list of Top Ten Reasons Why Isobel's Bum Is Like The Pentagon" I really don't understand the unhealthy fascination people have with Isobel's bum. I've seen the ass in question, and it is not overly large at all, in fact, it is rather average in size and shape. Then again, I don't see the problem many have with Isobel. She's a rather attractive young lady, and seems pleasent enough, and even if she isn't, who gives a toss? I have to say I don't really understand why some people insist on complaining about her voice; "It's too girly!!" I overheard someone exclaim. Eh? Wait a moment, Stuart M has a girly voice and everyone loves him? A bit of a double standard isn't it? The boy can have a girly voice but the girl can't? Something I hadn't realized before, Stuart is rather ripped. I don't know if the man works out on a regular basis, but after seeing him I'd not call him twee at all. He's got a Bruce Lee type body, all tense muscles and potential energy. Kirsten mentioned having to report her criminal record on a job application, which doesn't sounds right to me, as I thought that was only for felony convictions that you had to report. Besides, anything under 18 is sealed and you don't have to report (I'm quite happy about that myself). Oh, and if I were Kirsten I would have lied to that girl about what assertive meant, but I'm a heathen boy, as Laughing Llew likes to remind me. ArtsyDeco had the Soylant Green quote which was spoken by Phil Hartman on Saturday Night Live. If I remember right, John Goodman was the interviewer in that skit. Fear my quote-fu. I'm feeling a bit surly today, as it's raining outside and I want to go and walk about Ann Arbor and soak in its heathenness. I miss London, mad beautiful London and brilliant Belgium, and all of Europe which is so diverse and full of different people. I'm a bit bored by America at the moment, though I love being back and able to drive again. I love my car. Right, that's most likely enough for now. Cheers!!

What a amazingly gorgeously grate-tastic song! It's got a nice organ solo too! There's also people in the band going 'baba ba ba BA ba baba' and so on. So they should cover that song mmmm hmm. People have been talking about how they like summer, which is a season I oppose. In the summer you wear tank tops, shorts, etc etc what you will...but you can only go so far in terms of wearing nothing. In Fall/Winter, you just put another nice layer of snuggly clothes on and presto! you are warm. Matt Henderson mentioned wearing a B&S pin to the Radiohead gig next week which I thought was a nice idea. I think I'll do the same. I'm really excited about that show since I've been waiting 5 years to see them. I missed them in concert twice (twice!! for shame...) due to circumstances I couldn't control. 1)I was in a crappy school play which I could not get out of. I played a girl who wanted to get married etc etc but got dumped by her boyfriend at the Senior Prom. It was nice though since kids in the audience kept yelling 'you dog!' to the actor playing my punk-ass boyfriend. anyway 2) The day I was leaving for the UK was the day of the second gig I missed. So I will not miss this even if I have to crawl to the show with missing limbs! My friend has been trying to get on 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' lately (which is kinda tough) but I really think she's gonna do it one day soon. I on the other hand...am more of a reality show person. There's so many out there and I want to get on them all. Except of course: ~ Fear Factor. Why: I do not want to eat any crickets/beetles/other insect and I don't want 400 rats dumped on me as they gnaw on my flesh. ~ Big Brother. Why: well it's obvious, I don't think someone holding a knife to my throat would be much fun. xxMichelle 'mitten'xx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Needless to say, I don't think anyone really has a crush on me, it's just bollocks. For some reason there are a certain set of conditions under which I do not sleep well. They are: 1. Brand new sheets. 2. Going to bed sans knickers 3.

They must have driven them through the kitchen. The interview went well, and now I'm worried I might have got the job. You see, when I went for it I assumed I wouldn't, and now I don't know. Suddenly things have become daunting. I'll have to stop sitting around all day and become a working man. I'll have to polish my shoes every day and grow a moustache and buy a walking-stick umbrella. Oh Lord! It's very scary. Then I arrived home and my sister's goldfish had died. It hadn't been eating properly and had been looking peaky for days. I'd say it had been looking "green around the gills" but it hadn't. So it had been swimming around that morning, unhappy but alive, then when I arrived home it was swimming on its side, without moving its fins, or breathing - or living for that matter. I put it in a cornflakes box and gave it a dignified burial in the bin. My sister's in New Zealand, so she doesn't *have* to know. I can always pretend it's still alive - "How's the goldfish?" "Oh, you know, swimming." "Oh that's good." It's not like it ever did much else. But I don't think I could handle the guilt. So Belle and Sebastian *have* to release their new single soon to take my troubles away. The only thing that would make me happier would be a photo of Ken Chu's bare bottom. But even the Pope couldn't afford one of those. I'm not coming to the picnic on Saturday because I'm working. But I might climb onto the roof of the shop with a cheese sandwich and pretend I'm there. At least that way I can pretend I'm good at football. love Robin x _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

LIVE! AT THE WILLOWS! (for those less familiar with quaint northern english traditions like whippet racing ang pigeon fancying, the willows is the home of those giants of sporting incompetence, salford city reds rugby league club, rugby league being a *ahem* contact sport for those with a testosterone (sp??) overload, with a ball somewhat incidental to the proceedings). anyhow, the willows is also home to many a fine stars in their eyes fifth placed contender come friday or saturday night. the fact that i must remain at home to tend my children becomes all the more glorious with the thought that i could be living it up at the willows listening to *celine dion* or *ronan keating*. the thing with the posters was that it didn't say (in letters too small to read) steven patrick appearing as ELVIS! LIVE!, but just ELVIS! LIVE! - maybe there is something behind a century of elvis... anyhow, i am haunted since then - i turn on the tv - mr presley is there. i open my sinister posts and ms laura llew not only mentions elvis but refers to always on my mind... i began to seriously doubt my sanity when i went to see the luscious ballboy play in manchester last night - i was fully prepared for the chorus of public park aka dogs not kids with its i'll be elvis presley to your marilyn monroe, but for the support (i know not who they were suffice to say that in their mind's eye they were performing at their sixth sell-out night at milton keynes not to fifty or so people in the night and day cafe) to dedicate a song to elvis... i am deranged and only sinister can save me now... jonny ps - did i tell you that since my baby left me, i found a new place to dwell... no on second thoughts, don't go there... pps - ms titchener was quite right to have ticked us all off (or at least those of us who can receive 97-99fm on wunnerful radio one) - the white stripes are rockin' - they've not so long ago done a cover of jolene, so i await jailhouse rock with glee well that last bit should be in past tense now - they did rock, but alas they did not jailhouse rock - perhaps elvis has now left the building... must go - chris morris beckons... +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: I'm just writing to let Jonny know he can relax a little on the Elvis thing as "Always on my mind" is more properly a Willie Nelson song (Any who are familiar with Palace will now understand the title line.)And it's pretty safe to assume that were there an Elvis, he would certainly not be down the Willows this Friday. I read of a woman once who had caught one of the real Elvis' silk scarves once and had then set out to catch as many as she could from the impersonators of the world (why both Elvis and his league of Elvii insist on chucking neck gear I do not know) at the time of writing she had over 200 carefully folded in a drawer in her room.

Just got in from a trip this evening and reached for my computer like a child reaches for a bag of sweets. I'm really beginning to enjoy this (especially given the recent bout of writing frenzy), how lovely to come home to all 1500 of you! So much to say, how do I string it all together? Sleeping sans knickers: I thought I was alone in this but no! There's at least one other female like me (I'm assuming they are female). I haven't slept without for about 20 years now, erotic situations excepted (that would really be taking it too far...). Ever since I was around eight and slept au naturel one night and had a dream I still haven't forgotten. I was in the playground at school and some boys lifted my blue uniform skirt while I wasn't looking. It was quite a regular occurence at that age, but this time I had no undies on and the entire playground saw my bits and laughed. Talk about traumatic. It still affects how I sleep today. Another vestige of my childhood is that Sunday feeling people have been talking about. Get this: I work shifts and even if it's NOT Sunday but I have to go to work after my days off, I STILL get it! I hate that feeling, it's so depressing and evokes some miserable times... Someone wrote about B&S becoming a pop band. B&S ARE a pop band! Aren't they? Anyway, I'd be a lot happier if the likes of them started having no.1 singles than the likes of Hearsay, but then again that would mean that mankind had evolved somewhat and I have a feeling we're not *quite* that far up the evolutionary ladder just yet. I'm looking forward to the pic'n'nick. Silly me, I deleted picnic mummy's instructions and thought I could look them up in the archives but when I looked...there were no archives! So I'll be the girl rambling on her own at the top of the hill at Greenwich on Sunday 29th at two in the morning. Nevermind, I'll eat all my strawberries and cream myself and will subsequently be sick in what I hope will be a pretty shade of pink. All the talk on Isobel's arse is getting a bit tedious...I'd like to bring in a new topic of discussion: How about we discuss Sarah's knockers for a change? Having been to two gigs, I am of the opinion that they are far more impressive than Isobel's derriere... Carsmile Steve said that going to a gig in Brazil was taking things a bit to far. Why, Steve, I thought my efforts would be admired given that sinister is a list for B&S ANORAKS! Furthermore, a) I'm from there b) my entire family lives there c) I go every year so why not go when B&S are there? d) I work for an airline and a ticket costs me �75 e) If B&S were playing in the South Pole and I wanted to go, that would be entirely my problem. f) there is no f z)wipe that silly car-smile off your face! love & strawberry kisses, THE Pris "Cars suck" _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Firstly I got an e-mail today saying I was officially allowed to write to you lovely people in person... and secondly I am going to meet some of you tommorow. I suppose I should tell you how I came to be on this list. It happened some time ago now. When I was young and only 6 months old I went to a picnic with the girl. Afterwards I wanted to say thankyou and hello to you all personally... but the girl told me that I couldn't. So I had to sit pleading with her for hours until she gave in and let me use her e-mail. And that just won't do... I have to do enough sitting pleading with her already... otherwise I don't think that she would ever give me any of her food and it is always so much nicer than anything she puts in my plate. So here I am writing my first official letter and I don't half feel proud. It is probably a good thing that I didn't have an e-mail account all that time ago though. Now that I'm 7 and half months old I can handle the responsibility much better. The girl tells me that we are off to a picnic tommorow... and we will see some of you people... not only that but we will be at the beach... You can see why this would make me so excited can't you? I will be able to swim, dig and kiss everybody all on the same day... So I have been preparing myself ... collecting things I think the girl should bring with us... she doesn't seem to appreciate it too much and says that the plant pot can stay out of the house thankyou very much and that I shouldn't have ripped up the magazine... Sometime she really she can be a little ungrateful... Love and lots and lots of kisses espcially to those I won't see tommorow, Belle _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I woke up this morning to realise someone had tried to break into my flat. They tried to kick the door in while I was away the previous night and I only realized today. It really freaked me because had I been at home, the door wouldn't have been locked and they would have got in. The good thing was I got the police to come round and they sent a young lad who was just soooooo cute! I kept wanting to ask his name and looking him in the eye all the time but it was difficult making the conversation more personal. The only time anything personal was said was when I turned IYFS down on the stereo and he said "Is that the new Belle & Sebastian?" and I replied "Yeah, but it's not new. Do you like 'em?" and he said yes. Cool, we've already got one thing in common. A policeman with taste in music and a good looking one at that.

On a lighter note, my friend in portland oregon reports seeing a small group of people parading down the street last weekend playing tubas and other such instruments made out of cardboard along to taped marching music! they turned out to be the Lucksmiths, and apparently they joined my friend and the other kids in their Super8 parade and are quite nice fellows. and I will be celebrating Belle & Sebastian day tomorrow with my *new* (but far away) girlfriend, who introduced me to the wonders of B & S one spring day.

His arms bulged with tattoos. The left arm said Belle and the right one Sebastian. If only. He lips said "I'm going to get you, you fucker." The customers were quite surprised. The man was shaking his fists over the counter because he said I'd "Called him a thief", which wasn't true at all, and told me to come outside and settle it. It took Gay Jon to scare him off; I was hopeless. Jon just told him to stop being so silly and gave him a look and the man went away. "You bastard", I shouted, but I don't think he heard. It was half an hour later, anyway. Kinky Ken said >Philip Boucher did a lot of maths, which was quite funny, but unfortunately >one of the lines was mathematically incorrect.. I pick up on these things, >being a maths teacher and all. Mmm, yes. a square-root squared leaves whatever was inside the square root. So the answer becomes women = all evil. Which is, of course, completely untrue. Watch out Philip, Mr Chu will be after you with his cane. I'm being haunted by the ghost of Pancake, the goldfish. Strange sounds have been coming from the wheelie bin, like a bubbling fish-voice muffled by teabags and carrot tops. Once I thought it said "You killled meee!" - a damning accusation - but on second thoughts it sounded more like "I'm gilled, meee" - a harmless fact. The fish must be thinking of the meaning of its fishy life. These noises, they could be a ghost, or maybe a mouse, but I suspect its only my guilty imagination. Poor Pancake. The bugs nibbled on Laura Llew >However, I am comforted by the fact that I now have an instant game of >connect the dots to entertain me wherever I am.

Or if you're unlucky they could form a sausage and you'd end up in Sausage Weekly. There's hundreds of people with birthmarks in the shape of Jesus, you know, or the Virgin Mary, or Elvis. But we never get to hear about those poor souls with foot fungus in the shape of Wogan, or a bum rash that's the image of David Copperfield. They must be out there somewhere. The poor afflicted souls. Right, I'm off to have a picnic in my back garden. Is anyone coming?

Message-ID: So I went to the McSweeney's festival this weekend. I would waste valuable space on intense descriptive detail, but that would be boring, and that's not really tolerated on this list. so, speed descriptions: Zadie Smith: as young and as pretty as expected. adores Madonna, loves Radiohead, smokes like a fiend, is very patient. Does *not* like Will Self. Neal Pollack: funny, but very guarded. stingy with his *free* books. (there was a contest for most pretentious t-shirt, and I won, but never got the book he promised) somewhat alarmed by my questions. Dave Eggers: not the monster I thought he would be. Approached me in the bar and congratulated me on winning the t-shirt contest. Called me 'sport' and directed me to Neal Pollack, which was cool, but weird. He is insanely laid-back, so serene. I don't know how he deals with what he does (at the signing, people were telling him about how relatives of theirs had died, etc) but he is calm- an American Buddha, a california curly-haired Jesus. well- main content being that, when I was in line to get my book signed, he remembered me from the past night, and said "hey, the guy with the t-shirt, what are you wearing today?", "Belle and Sebastian t-shirt", I squeaked. "Cool," Dave said. Neal Pollack said "you know you can't win two days in a row", which I thought was unnecessary. (and I've never figured B&S to be that pretentious. maybe some of the fans..) when i finally got up to him, Dave asked me if I remembered the scene from Hi-Fidelity, and i said "of course, it's so funny". Dave said he liked the band, but that he was listening to mostly country now, old-time country with yodeling. He told me he could not get enough yodeling. I agreed, and thanked him for the book. there was a similar, more drunken exchange with Neal Pollack regarding music, but with no mention of Belle and Sebastian, and so has no business on this list. writer gossip. very tired, Kevin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Then realise there was a picnic earlier that very day and feel all unhappy, especially as I have got Flu and if I was there would simply sneeze and moan all over the lot of you. Also, have been on move across continents for a little while and thus deprived of any cockroach free washing facilities and apparently smell like municipal tip, although due to blocked nose cannot smell anything. Cannot have bath/shower here as boiler is bust and water v.cold. Must admit to having morbid fear of cockroaches. More about lovely holiday later. Hope there will be a picnic in about September as that is when I will next be in London. Between now and then, I will be dragged around the country by my various parents. One will take me to Yorkshire (v.g.) and possibly to Edinb (v.v.g.) as my Step-mother went to Uni there and we sometimes stay with people. My mother, on the other hand will drive me to swansea and pack me off on a ferry to Ireland which is nice but where I will be going it is v.boring unless you have an affinity to sheep and my mother's ghastly friends who will surely be torturing me with their endless questions. I know I shouldn't moan but there you go. Now, lovely holiday time. Went to Athens on 9th (I think) and stayed there with my father for 2 days. Had a look at Acropolis which was v.nice but covered with Tourists. Had a look at Battleship Averov which was v.old and completely deserted apart from crew of about 6. Step-Mother arrived with little sister and all got on 11-hour Ferry to tiny Cycladian Island called Sikinos. Sikinos has v.few tourists and no rain for 3 years so water has to be tanked in twice a week. Spent whole time lazing around or walking. Got up at 8 every morning, 9-o'clock bus to Ano Pronia, where the beach is, went swimming until about 10:30, had iced coffee in same cafe at same table and got 11:15 bus back up to Horia where was staying. Had early lunch and would read before playing Monopoly with 5-year-old sister who would get all tired and disinterested before it really got interesting. Then would read my book for a while. Read Bridget Jones, which was funny. Read White Teeth, on Recommendation from Sinister, and thought was very good, although somewhat conrtived towards the end. Still really amazing book, though. Tried to read Ulysees but gave up. Tried to read Proust but couldn't be bothered. Read P.G. Wodehouse instead. Read Something by JorgeLouis Borges which was OK. Then Got Flu and had to stay in bed, listening to 1 song at a time on my walkman with 1 hour gaps as batteries ran out on first day in Sikinos where getting more was impossible. Spent 4 days in Bed and sent postcards. Felt better on last day and went on long walk to site of Archeological importance. Felt terrible afterwards. Went back to Athens on over-night ferry next day. Now am back here and there you go. Thankyou to all those people who mentioned me in their posts or who sent me lovely e-mails in regard to my last post. I am presently in the process of writing back to you all. Somebody has probably mentioned this before but in 'Creeque Alley' by The Mamas and The Papas it mentions "In a coffee house Sebastian sat". A great prophecy perhaps? I've nothing else to say in my ears-still-haven't-popped-after-the-flight-yet-due-to-blocked-nose state. Hope Picnic is going well, but I'm sure I'll hear about it whatever, Joe +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

She had been digging in the garden and had uprooted the rosemary bush which lay beside her, it's roots carefully wrapped in a damp cloth. The fox sat down in front of Jubilee and sniffed the air. She smelled of tears and tiredness and a strange, sharp chemical. -Hi fox, she said wearily. The Black fox said nothing. Jubilee brushed her hair out of her eyes, leaving a mark on her cheek from the dirt under her fingernails. -I knew I'd have to give her back one day, she said quietly. The fox gave her a puzzled look. Jubilee laid a protective hand on the green jumper. -The cat... The fox sniffed the jumper, and her ears flattened against her head. The green wool smelled of cat and tears and sudden stillness. She looked up a Jubilee. She opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again. What could be said that Jubilee hadn't already thought? ~What happened? -She was fine last night but this morning she couldn't stand up properly. I took her to the vet and he gave her an X-ray. There was a tumour the size of a walnut behind her eye. The guy said she'd be dead in 3 months, and she's have to be on painkillers for most of it so... Jubilee shrugged her shoulders. -I knew it would happen eventually. ~That you'd have to give her back? Jubilee smiled to herself and nodded. -I stole her. The fox frowned. Jubilee stroked the wool absently. -There was this feral cat who showed up one night. She was pregnant and covered in mud and fleas. i fed her and made up a bed for her, a cardboard box and a blanket, and sat with her all night. The next morning she gave birth to two black and white kittens. One of them was stillborn. It was tiny... I should have wrapped it up and buried it but... I wrapped it up in my skirt and stared at it. Then I picked up a piece of paper and rolled it into a straw. I pushed it down the kittens throat and breathed into it's lungs. One breath. I pulled out the straw and rubbed it's chest and it began to breath. It was alive! Jubilee smiled suddenly. -They both survived the night. Then the day. And the nights and days after that. Months passed and the mother vanished, taking the other kitten with her. My kitten stayed with me. At night she would curl up on the pillow beside me. When I got upin the morning, she would stumble after me. I stole her... I gave her my breath and she lived. -I took her to the veterinarian, and he told me she was dying. I made the decision. I held her when he gave her the injection, and she reached her face up to mine and I bowed my head to meet her. She let out a sudden, sharp gasp of air into my mouth, as if she had held that first breath in her chest all this time, and the time had come to return it. Jubilee closed her eyes. -She'd always go to sleep on this jumper. it seemed the right thing to do. She opened her eyes and carefully stood up. The fox watched as she laid the green bundle in the ground and pushed soil back into the hole. She planted the rosemary on the grave and the black fox touched it with the tip of her nose. ~rememberance, she said softly. Jubilee said nothing, and brushed dirt from her hands. She touched a fingertip to her lips. -One breath, she murmured, the whisper catching on the breeze. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

It's a hard life. Hope you had a fab time wherever you were. Getting home from the party involved wandering round Staines in my cardie, flares and an afro wig in the early hours of this morning; fun at the time but none too clever in retrospect! There was however a chap at said party who was a bit handy with the guitar, I was amazed when he answered in the affirmative to my enquiries as to whether he had heard of B&S. He played and I sang 'I Fought in a War', so I did celebrate B&S Day in my own (t)wee way (hey). I agree about what they've done to Hotmail, especially about changing the ordering in your inbox - most annoying. I think it might have been L Ll who mentioned that? And was it also her who mentioned bug bites? Someone did anyhow. Something bit me the other day and I had to go to hospital 'cos my arm swelled up sooo much. Say 'awww'. I'm glad someone else spoke up in favour of Isobel. I was almost feeling moved to say something aswell. I think she's lovely, and even if you don't the odd funny quip is fine, but that was getting nasty. And were not nasty pasty people are we? Just to confirm this, did anyone record the Aislers Set on Peely the other night? I was working, so although I set my timer (thanks for that tip David) there was no one there to turn the tape over. Right, I'm off to try something else to slake my thirst. Any suggestions - none alcoholic as this is alcohol indused!

As I was Picnic Mummy for the day, I suppose I'd better tell you all what happened. Everyone met up as planned, and managed to catch the trundly branch-line train down to the beach. There was a fair crowd of us---me, gordonpicnicdaddy, sweetie, vic, steve, jo "pigtails are *my* trademark", ian, harry, Jim The Australian, dimitra, andrew, sunnyset, Extremely Tall Chris, Lots Of Other People, and most importantly, Belle, everyone's favourite listpuppy. After walking onto a golf course and making ourselves rather unpopular, we found the beach and wandered along until we found a nice hollow between rocks, in front of a deep, dark cleft probably filled with unimaginable horror. It was nice and secluded, so secluded that half of the picnicers got lost, couldn't find anyone and walked several miles back and forth along the beach. We lit our barbecues, sat and drank, and discussed all the important issues of the day. We even remembered to put food on the barbecues, but forgot to take it off again until our cosy cleft was rather full of smoke. The only way to solve the problem was by inventing the now-famous Olympic sport of barbecue shuffling, pushing them up and down the beach until the smoke went away. Sadly, the beach wasn't really paddling-friendly, but a few people (Belle included) were brave enough to try it. They ended up rather wet, of course. Some people kept getting phone calls from a Mr K P Y Chu, who I'm told is a maths teacher who posts here every couple of months or so. Some people at the other end of the country had decided to have a picnic too, apparently. I'm not sure why they just didn't come along to ours. Sadly, we ran short of drink eventually, and had to go off in search of more. The next picnic is going to be non-alcoholic, so we don't have to worry about that. Some people went off home, some went to the pub, and one just fell over in the sand giggling. I'm not sure who it was, but she sounded like she was from Birmingham. After that, we found the train back to the big city, and had lots more adventures. People were gaily snogging, wildly drinking, and generally enjoying themselves. Sweetie defended the rest of us from a four-foot tall ned who wanted to beat us up, and the list's most belle-oved member sat down and did a poo on the pavement in the middle of the city. But all that's far too long a story for me to tell you about here. Oh, pictures *will* be coming soon.

Message-ID: <002a01c11869$421cc920$207c893e@chris> I don't like being 'the first', it means people look at me. On the other hand I don't like being late. I was late yesterday and Stuart had to give me directions at the top of Primrose Hill on my phone. Everyone turned round and stared at me as I walked towards them. Ooohhh. Feather Boa chose the subject line. She brought cherries and I knelt in one and thought I was dying. Ken Chu was smaller than I thought. I hope Priscila is alright. She brought some Ribena in a glass bottle and drank lots. I think the sun and high sugar free content affected her. I got worried when she asked me who I was for the third time. Mark didn't do anything bad to me, even though I wore my Stow t-shirt and he played the recorder so very well. I had a musical flute, but Mark quite rightly pointed out that it was useless as only I could use it but I didn't know how to play it. At the other end of the scale, Sam Walton was much bigger than I thought. he looks like beans. We had a disagreement about beans. I liked Sam. The Pine Fox was there but I didn't talk to him, he wanted to be with Mark and Trousers and David Moore and the rest of that 'crew'. We had a pop quiz and a pop ball that Elena had provided I think. It came free with TOTP magazine. I don't know much about modern pop music so I was rubbish. Sam told me that my biorhythms were good. I had lots of love. We had a 4 string guitar as well. I think it was Ally96's. Some people played it and we all sang along or said la because we didn't know the words. There were lots of dogs smelling each other. A nice man called Rob Butler came along in an old bus t-shirt. We all liked him. They played football. We didn't. The sun was hot and sticky, woooo ooooohhh. I didn't make many train noises, but I did do the ch ch ch's in Shoot The Sexual Athlete. I stood up once in a while and that made me feel big as I surveyed the smaller looking sinister people below me. What was Ken's funny green stuff? There were other people there and I can't remember them all. Hannah sat next to Sam and so I knew who she was, but I still asked because I was curious about the answer, even though I knew what it was. A boy sat next to me. I think he was Nick? If I am wrong, can he please correct me. he listened a lot. There was nobody called Barry as far as I know. Why was there nobody called Barry? I am sun dazed because it is hot and strange.

I saw 2 people with B+S shirts in manchester the other day (one in vinyl echange, the other (perhaps the same person) at the top of market street) all 2/3 of us had the same t-shirt on. smashing. I have decided that the funniest thing I have ever heard is "I have misplaced my pants" Homer Simpson said it, but it reminds me of leeds last year when we were queueing up for wristbands and a naked guy jumped out of a bush and shouted "Where are my trousers?".

I mean, come on, what is more fun that a picnic in a park when the sun is out and the beer is cold? Not many things. I didnt get drunk, that is how good I have been in my picnic mummy's shoes. I was even on time, you see. So we climbed up the hill and had games and crisps and drinks and sweets. Conversations also, as well as songs. Thanks to Priscila for the strawberries and the cream, yes ladies and gentlemen she did it. One point to Ben (it was you, wasnt it?) for bringing a 4 strings guitar AND being able to play music out of it. Another one to all the boys who played football even with the hot weather, we were given to see a couple of VERY red faces. I should underline Mark's undeniable talents with a flute, he did very well. Carsmile, we missed you. And thanks to everyone for showing up, I hope you had fun and didn't get lost (or fell asleep) on the way home. Today I played darts for the second time in my life (the first one was last Sunday, it is becoming an habit already) Strangely enough I always end up in the losing team. Twice this week-end I get out of a pub not drunk, I should maybe worry about myself. If you or your dad need anyone to do any marketing related job and don't mind about me being a graduate, let me know. Job searching is boring me already and I have just started. For once it is warm in Britain, bless the weatherman.

Message-ID: <45.9c8a0d9.28967a29@aol.com> >I want a manchester picnic :-) someone else organise it please, im >not too good at this kind of thing. I am in complete agreement here. We should form a group wholly devoted to organising Manchester picnics. I would certainly help, it gives me an excuse to make fairy cakes and sit in the sunshine. It would also be very nice to meet some Mancunian Sinisterines too. Where would we have it though? Piccadilly Gardens in still in a state of disarray..maybe in the lovely Platt Fields park which is where me and my friends usually have our picnics. Me and my best friend made cherry scones yesterday and sat in her back garden and drank tea and listened to the High Llamas and pretended we were civilized because we were too hungover to jump up and down with excitement about being able to see Belle and Sebastian and The Magnetic Fields this time next week. I have found a cocktail which tastes like Ribena and vodka. It is a yummy, if rather potent, combination which probably accounts to me dancing strangely to Northern Soul and having an in-depth conversation with my friend Julian about the joys of pickled onion Monster Munch, Crisp sandwiches in general and H&M Hennes on Saturday night in a club called the Tiger Lounge. Very fun it was too. Send me a summer picnic and I'll be your friend for life. Cay xXx P.S. Just in rememberance of a previous topic, do boys make passes at girls who intermittantly wear glasses? I managed to obtain a pair of lovely Lazy Line Painter Jane-esque glasses which I need to read/write emails/etc as well as wear in times of hangover-induced sight loss. Just wondering if they would hinder my chances of meeting a lovely wee Indie boy now I'm single again *sigh* P.P.S Can someone please tell me how to send emails to Sinister using AOL 6.0? Pretty please with sugar on top? "Girlfriends? Boyfriends? They come and go... But Pickled Onion Monster Munch? Now they're eternal." http://photojenni.diaryland.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

After asking mummy for some money I trekked down to the sinister picnic, which was great fun. I couldn't afford any Red Bull or vodka so I made do with a bottle of wine for 3.99 (it rhymes!), which had done the trick of making me a bit drunk. Things I remembered from the picnics (not a lot for obvious reasons) were: - Doing a Top of the Pops pop quiz and me being rubbish at it. - Playing with the Top of the Pops pop-ball and me being rubbish at it. - Playing with the football and me being rubbish at it. - Playing with the guitar and me being rubbish at it. - Playing "Mary had a little lamb" on a recorder. - Being looked upon by passers by as if we were Born-again Christians. - Joining some actual Born-again Christians who had guitars with Priscilla after the picnic. - Speaking conherent English at the pub, and me being rubbish at it. The mysterious green stuff was this thing called "Magic Fizz Paintbrush" my friend got as a pressy for me from Majorca, it's like this paint brush shaped lollypop, and this "tin" of mysterious green stuff, you dip the lolly into the tin like with a real paint brush and hey presto it now is a lolly with mysterious green stuff on it. Despite being called "Magic" Fizz I don't know if that stuff was indeed hallucinogenic or not, but then seeing the inebriated way i behaved afterwards, I wouldn't be surprised.

The scurrying of sinister little feet through my inbox manages, every once in a while, to break the trancelike state of exhausted delirium in which I find myself working. For which I thank you. I've recently ordered a whole bunch of belle and sebastian related rubbish to clutter the place up with, so maybe that'll help make things a little more human around here. I've saved this post up for a while, after failing the Dalai Lama/Cliff Richard test a couple of times in recent weeks, so it may be a little on the hefty side. I'll provide a packed lunch with the next one, I promise. SHOULD B&S BE A POP GROUP? Well, frankly, it doesn't bother me too much. I think that pandering to wider tastes is often the beginning of the end, but it usually seems to happen when songwriters in bands run out of things to write songs about, other than being songwriters in bands. I don't see too much danger of that happening in this case. You might disagree: please do so, I don't know very much. I can't imagine that any sort of artist wouldn't want to find their audience. If they're able to go on doing what they're doing, and reach increasingly more people, it'd be churlish to grizzle. Also, I can't help but warm to the people in this particular band, and want them to do well for themselves out of it. I'd actually quite like to see some 'good old fashioned rock 'n' roll excess' from them, in the later years: massive weight gain, trashed hotel rooms, legions of illegitimate children all over the world, brandy balloons full of brown m&m's, that sort of thing. Stuart may love his car, but I'll bet he's at least once wondered what it would look like at the bottom of a hotel pool. Or maybe not. B&S DAY Well, in the absence of either any free time, or any likeminded souls in my little neck of the woods, I spent it here in the office, intermittently working, but also skiving off in #sinister quite a bit. I'll do better next year, I promise. Oh, and seeing a couple more picnic photos recently, I'm reminded once again that we may be a "sick posse of f**ked in the head psycho-fans", but we are, at the very least, a damned handsome "sick posse of f**ked in the head psycho-fans". Which makes all the difference. ISOBEL'S ARSE PT TWO I said something about Isobel's arse in my last post, and thanks very much to the kind listee who sent me a picture of it. I think Isobel's quite lovely, and I like her voice, even at its most hamsterish. About her arse, though, I've no further comment to make. X-RAY SPECS I was just thinking about these the other day. They advertised them on the back of children's comic books (do they still? I haven't seen one for a while), as something you could send money in and buy. I'm fairly certain that they didn't work. How on earth is that an acceptable thing to do? I think that it's more disillusioning than father christmas, the easter bunny and the tooth fairy all rolled into the one great big, jolly, hopping, frilly-skirted disappointment. And you send money! Children's money, that should rightly be used to pay for bullies' lunches, or to get older siblings to buy cigarettes for them! Someone, somewhere, will be living off the money sent in by innocent children, in the rather sweet and naive belief that they'll get a chance to see other people's private bits. Moral outrage isn't my strong suit, but I think that this happens to be the worst thing that anyone's done in the world, ever. JUST QUICKLY 'That Sunday feeling' = the sort of slowly escalating panic associated with a long-overlooked task that you just can't put your finger on. Ghastly. Winter = great. Scarves, soup and stout. And snuggling, for the lucky ones. Not me. But that means that I get an extra stout. Girls in glasses = phwoar. Toast = vegemite, obviously. Anything else is a waste of good bread. *ducks* Ken Chu = the new black, it seems. He goes with anything. Actually, that sounds far ruder than I intended, but I'll leave it as is. That should just about cover it. Stay deliciously crunch-tastic. Bulk love, -Stankin' (call me Werther). _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

(I am not complaining) Reason number 2: I don't think I would find enough people to go, although i have discovered there are 9 people from Brazil in this mailing list. Could you please show up? I spent my weekend arguing about the movies me and my friends would watch. I admit I always want the opposite. So, I really tried to watch Pollock this weekend, but... we watched 4 movies, but the one I wanted to. Ok, I hav to go to work now. And also get ready for my classes, that start on Wednesday. Hope you all have a great week! A big hug, Daniela. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! GeoCities Tenha seu lugar na Web.

Sorry about the subject line. I thought of something witty, honest, but I forgot it. So instead I thought of the first lyric that came into my head and put a rude word in it. I did a search on "falate" on Google to check I spelt it right and got some Blink 182 lyrics - to a song called "When you f*cked grandpa". Hehe.. they are a super shit band. I'm not going to pretend I like them cos they're "just so funny". They're not funny, they're shit. The video to "Hello" by Lionel Ritchie is *funny*. Ahem.. I hope i'm not unpopular for appearing happy. I'm miserable really honest.. so anyway.. picnic. The London one that is. We had lots of fun and drinking. There was guitar and recorder playing as mentioned. My recorder rendition of Judy and The Dream of Horses was crap compared to Mark's Boy With the Arab Strap. I was apparently out of key as well. I was selling charity raffle tickets to all the twee sinister saps at the picnic. I'm sorry if you felt I was preying on your sappyness, but I was suckered too.. I was only selling them because someone randomly rang me up and said "Would you like to sell some raffle tickets", and I said "Yes" cos I'm like that. I'm also sorry if I left any litter after I left. I had to leave early because I had to do some work with a friend and I worried later that I might have left some beer cans there and maybe a tuna cucumber sandwich box, in which case I feel very guilty. I normally clean up after myself, but it was all a drunken haze. In spite of this it was a great picnic... the best bit's being the four stringed guitar, which belonged to someone, and associated hippy singalong mark playing my recorder through his nose the strawberries and cream, though I only had strawberries the non-haribo sweets fruit salad (haribo is evil, apparently) the shade staring at people as they arrived to intimidate them Having a pretty girl in Superdrug is becoming awkward, I'm going to have to find an alternative reseller for my embarrasing anal wart cream. I used to play recorder in church. I got to grade 5. A girl from school I don't know very well once asked me out of the blue if I was still playing the recorder, and at first I didn't know what she was talking about because I'd forgotten I ever did. I asked her how she knew and she said she remembered me playing in her church, which is fucking weird if you ask me. I think I left my recorder on Primrose hill.. oops. If you picked it up thats very sweet and you can keep it and play it through your nose to your hearts content as a prize. If not it is now property of the hill, and therefore recursively probably belongs to the queen, so she can entertain us all by playing it out of her nose, but I bet she can't play it out of her arse. I'll shut up now.. right after I've spent a paragraph explaining how I'm going to shut up...

Message-ID: hello kiddies, you might remember me from such classics as "angel blackwell loses his temper on irc...." hmmm...this is a new start on the list (well, the email addy from the job that he is soon to be fired from,) and i have let the angel blackwell fly away and bother someone else for a change. he's such a pain in the arse sometimes. so much has changed in the last little while and i seem to have lost all fantasies in the process. i just want to thank all you guys for your posts, as they seem to make my day go be in a happier way. i'd like to thank david white for his site. the downloads on there were far more enjoyable then the last single/ep. i wasn't a fan of legal man either, so maybe it's just me. jonathan david was just such a disappointment and not much consolation since it seems that the band won't be coming to the grey wasteland north of the 49th that some refer to as canada. one band that i did enjoy seeing was gorky's. i was thoroughly impressed. they did an acoustic set, that was enjoyable, well by me at any rate. debs woulda enjoyed it as much as me, but she got carded and had to go all the way home to get her id. heehee, youngins...but what i didn't expect was the second set. they totally rawked. i admit i bought the ticket just cuz i wanted to hear poodle rocking live, but man, they blew me away. and the main guy is a little cutie... oh and i'm going to be in a music video. a friend of mine is the bass player for a band called sully. they were filming down at king and university this weekend, so i got to be part of the crowd scenes. thing is that they didn't have many other extras, so you see us walking by a coupla times. i still haven't heard the song properly. they were filming becke singing in double time, so the playback i did hear made her sound like smurfette doing a single for the minipops. the guys in the band were running around with these bright orange contacts, that really seemed to scare ppl walking by...that was fun. hmmm...not much else is going on. i went on a date that went horribly wrong. much to the chagrin of miss lllllaura. men are too confusing i think. being single is highly overrated. oh and do make say think are going to be playing soon. i can't wait for that as i missed them the last time they played so i could see the clientele. i feel like ken doing his first post all over again. damn, and the phone at my desk is broken...grrr... i think i'm going to have a nap under my desk... see ya later... andrew kenneth capps...

GOOD news and BAD news. i got a reply! yes, isobel wrote me back! and yes, she did check one of the boxes for me. unfortunately, it was one she had concocted herself. so in scribbly handwriting next to a haphazardly selected box were the words "BILL ME LATER". humph. and she threw in her latest gentle waves LP for me, too. not sure what to do with it. i don't suppose i should play it. i'm at summer school. much to my chagrin. chagrin often plays out as a thematic preponderance in my life. after all, i was born in CHAGRIN FALLS, OHIO. no lie. i kid you not. i would never kid you. not to be confused with twin falls, idaho. people do not have goats as children. therefore, they are not KIDS. they are CHILDREN or BRATS. just not kids.

Next time I come to london, can we have an honorary picnic for me?!?!?! However, not being at either of the picnics meant that I ended up going to a party in a forest on Saturday night/Sunday morning/Sunday afternoon, which was probably just as pleasant, but with more techno. Don't get me wrong, I like techno (if it's good enough for SFA, it's good enough for me....does anyone else remember the techno tank doing the festival rounds in 1996?!?!?), just not until 9am when you're trying to sleep on a bed of twigs and ferns. I fell asleep at some undetermined hour, (although I know it was light), and when I woke up I had rolled over into a ridiculous position, had a fern on my face, a spider on my hand, and a caterpillar in my bag. oh dear... Anyway, the only real content I have this week is that the whole forest thing was particularly twee, what with it being sunrise time when we arrived there, lots of beautiful northern scenery lit in the strangest-coloured light, and that nice pine smell everywhere (including all my clothes, days afterwards). We even saw a little cave, which I think is meant to be part of the sculpture park that is in the woods; it has a hole in the ceiling, and I think it is meant to act as a sort of pinhole camera for trees. Or that's what someone told me anyway. They could be lying. I'm quite gullible. Only other content is that I'm currently downloading all the B&S tracks that I haven't yet heard, they're all lovely. I've spent the evening trawling around on the internet, reading articles on brasseye, and reading the comments posted on the channel4 forum. What do you lot think of brasseye?? (sorry if this conversation has already been and gone, but I haven't been able to check my email at work recently, and so haven't read many posts). One thing I did notice is that all the posts/articles I read which were praising it were obviously written by the more literate people, who had a wider vocabulary and a reasoned argument. Not really sure what I think yet as I wasn't offended by anything I saw, but I missed bits and pieces of the show, so....All the past brasseye episodes I've seen have been brilliant, so I don't really doubt Chris Morris's work. I'm interested to know what everyone thinks of it, if anyone feels like mailing me.... Have been listening to lots of Smog this past week. Good for the soul. Almost as good as Marmite, but nowhere near as good as sinister. I think my internet access at work has been slightly modified so that I can no longer check my sinister emails. No, really. I have a summer job with an oil company, and last week, while waiting for help with my project, I probably checked my email a bit more than I should do; I check my university email account via the university web, and now, at work, I can no longer get onto the university server. But I can from my home computer. I don't think I'm in trouble yet, but I might be soon, so I'm only going to go online at home from now on, just in case I get reprimanded, get sacked, and can never get a job ever again for being too sinister. This post has been very twee for someone with my personality.

(Picnic) Message-ID: <004e01c1193e$ab963820$e849fea9@user.msu.edu> What's so Great about them? There's a bloody lot of you around them. Hello Sinister Children. As some of you know, I mentioned the hope of getting a midwest/Great Lakes picnic together sometime before the end of summer. The response I got was heartwarming, it seems I could build a small twee army out of the number of folks who wrote me to say that they were from the Great Lakes area and that a picnic was an ace idea. So, where are we at, picnic wise, you ask? Well, now that I know that there's a large number of you waning to attend, we have to decide a few things. Things like, where are we going to have said picnic? Suggestions were made, and at the moment somewhere in southern Michigan/northern Ohio seems the most centrally located and fairest for all concerned. Anyone in the southern Michigan/northern Ohio area who has an idea of where to have said picnic is encouraged to contact me. As much as I'd love to have the picnic in Chicago for the sake of Navy Pier and Grant Park, I'm afraid that that would be too far off the beaten track for some folks. Cedar Park was mentioned for the camp grounds and the park itself, but I think the price of such an excursion would be prohibitive to many. Soooo...write me and let me know what kind of a picnic this should be. Should we plan on camping? (anyone willing to donate tens would be well loved in this event) Is it just an afternoon gig? Anyone willing to bring and play musical instruments will be doubly loved. City picnic, park picnic, camping ground picnic, what shall it be? The suggestion to invite our Canadian neighbors has been made, so I extend the invite to them as well. Any Sinister Ontario kids are welcome to come out and play. When you all write me *please* let me know where you are from and how far you can travel, as well as when is the best time for you. I'm aiming for a saturday myself, as this seems to be the best day to toss the picnic. Speak up Sinister brothers and Sisters.

I knew some people being at the manifestation. Reality is that there were a few (500-1000) people of the so-called black-bloc(k), which were actually destroying anything they could find. Someone told some man of the police may have taken part in it, but there are no proof so this is Just speculation. What's true is that the police (and part of the other forces) just loaded the manifestation, at random, just to beat the man there. This was something to make people scary about the police. Note there have been something like 200 thousand people to protest against the g8. How could the peaceful organisers of the Gsf, control everybody as the Italian government said them were supposed to do?

Please hold the line. Your call is important to me. Oooooohh yeeeaaahhh... I had a B&S day picnic on Saturday on Southsea Common but disguised it as a birthday picnic so no-one suspected. There was drinking and frisbee and (unexpectedly) volleyball. I can't play volleyball but set out to prove it anyway. There was curry and more booze later on. Such was my state by the end of the evening that B&S day translated to Beer & Spew. I'm too old for hangovers. Apparently other picnics took place in other places. Gordon's Embra photos are intriguing: Did the picnic take place on the set of Dr Who? Primrose Hill sounded more fun than fifteen minutes in the sack with Ken.

Message-ID: <141166282@spray.se> Hey! Time to step out of the shadows (er). My name is Astrid, I´m 15 and I´m from Stockholm. There is some nice places to hang out, but sometimes it is a bit boring. Think of it: Stockholm is the largest city in Sweden, and we have like.. one million people here? My oldest sister lives in Reading. Well, she moved, because she´s just graduatet from the university. I was there then, it was so lovely. Ah, the robes, the speaches, the.. formality of it all. Here we just like get a letter that says congratulations. Since one and a half year back I am obsessive about belle and sebastian. Why shouldn´t you be? I am starting up a new b&s-site, and I need your help. The thing is, it won´t have pics, bio etc etc, because there are so many brilliant sites with just that purpose already. What I need is your stories. Not novels, or anything. No, this is strictly belle and sebastian. The site will be about stories. How you discovered b&s, why you love them so much etc. It can be about anything as long it´s about your relationship to belle and sebastian. If you e-mail me, I promise I will put it on the site. There aren´t any stories up yet, because this is the first time I´m.. well.. promoting it, or how I shall put it. Today, I´m going to Skansen, a really nice like.. zoo, but I´m not going there to watch monkeys and stuff. No, on tuesday evenings there´s this live show from a really old scene that they have there. Allsång på Skansen, it´s called, which is like "Singalong at Skansen". A real "swedish old man" sings swedish folk song´s and the audience sing along. Ít was a big fuss a while ago, cause Ricky Martin was one of the guests for the show. Ricky Martin, pffft! Anyway, tonight, one of my favourite favourite favourite swedish aritsts, Håkan Hellström is going to be there, and I just have to watch it. Last week, on thursday the 26th, I was on a concert here in Stockholm and I got backstage, and I got to meet him. I was shaking, cause I was so nervous. He was so sweet and kind and.. aaah.. I went to a party last night at my friend Leo´s house. He had invited just really cool people that I felt nervous being around. I got a bit bullies for loving belle and sebastian. Now I´ve written far more that will interest any of you people. take care. Astrid _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!

Today I went to Top Man to buy a zip up top, which means that tonight I'll be out on the piss, shagging birds, disturbing the peace and eating kebabs, and tomorrow I'll be back down to Top Man to buy a suit for my court appearance. Ken already knows how RAWK I can be, having witnessed my anti architechture rants and spitting fits in #sinister. Permission to panic, sir. I am going on another holiday tomorrow, just about the RAWKest holiday ever: buxton, derbyshire in my mum and dad's caravan. The thing is, the loved one and I are going together. This will be odd and frightening as we normally get fed up with each other after a day or two and then we go home. But, as we'll be living in a tin box on wheels for more than two days, sparks will fly and I may be led to committed violent acts. And as the loved one is Action Sindy and I'm Apathetic Sindy, it should be interesting trying to make plans for the day. If anyone is in the ares and spots a girl reading a book in a tin box and sulking, while another girl in wellies runs around saying "You are sooooo boring!" then do pop over and say hello. It'll be us, enjoying our romantic break. I was book shopping in The Works yesterday in my B&S T shirt and the lass at the desk said "oooh, like the T-shirt". It turned out she'd been to see them in Birmingham too and we had a little chat about how great the Scottish P!O!P! (allegedly) duo were. Do you think other people strike up conversations with people sporting T-shirts of their favourite bands? (apologies for terrible sentence construction) Or are B&S fans just a little bit more friendly? Perhaps it's because there's a sort of (what's the word?) cult/obsession type thing about B&S. Perhaps it's because people who like B&S tend to like lots of the same other things. Or perhaps they're all used to being laughed at by their mates for liking twee indie pop and are just overjoyed to meet someone else who gets laughed at by their friends. *shrugs* I have been listening to Slip Into Something More Comfortable by Kinobe recently and having fantasies of being an ice skater. I reckon the bass in that song sounds a bit like Ravel's Bolero, what Torville and Dean ice-boogied to. It has that dumdumdum dummmm thing too it. Perhaps. Maybe. I think that's about it really.

It leapt and bounded >along the 'Comedy >place name' line; through Wallyford (should we all >have got off *here*?) Why yes we should have! Wallyford would be a wonderful place to have a picnic and I just don't know why nobody's thought of it before. We could have it amongst the ruins of the greyhound track and take deep, satisfying breaths of the heartening aroma of the Barbeuchleugh tip. It would be so much fun! And I'm sure the local youths would be only too happy to join in our merry gathering. If we stay until nightfall we may even be treated to one of the numerous fire festivals held in this quaint little town throughout the summer months. Afterwards we could pop into the Fa'side Inn, which I'm told rivals even the Saracens Heid for warmth of welcome and jovial atmosphere. So that's it - I'm organising a Wallyford picnic: this Saturday, meet you in the Miners Club. Be there or, um, value your safety... The perceptive Robster Brennan noted: >Gordon's Embra photos are intriguing: Did the picnic >take place on the set of Dr Who? He's right, damn him! The secret's out! Cause it wasn't a picnic at all and it wasn't even in North Berwick. It was, in fact, a conference of the Time Lords (not the KLF) on Gallifrey. Someone thought that a Sinister picnic in North Berwick would be a good cover, but Rob's seen right through that. Feck. Actually, seconds after that photo was taken a troop of cybermen poured down over the rocks, setting our little hearts (both of them) a-beating. Thankfully the daleks who were coming from the other side got stuck in the sand and seaweed (poorly designed these daleks) which allowed an escape to the various parked Tardises (Tardises? Tardis'? Tardi? Who knows? Or cares?) Bagsy I was Tom Baker.

We are the lucky ones! Message-ID: For those Northwesterners not aware yet, which I'm sure not a one of you counts in as such, Belle & Sebastian are touring to Portland, yes here in the merry Northwest, on September 11. If this isn't a reason enough for me to expell one more breath on the whole notion of a picnic, I don't know what is. Now I know that Stefanie has filled me in that *us* Northwestern twee sort aren't full of enough gumption or what have you to organize such a lofty thing as a silly old picnic. But I know she doesn't really believe that, in spite of both Andrea's and Heather's failed attempts (& perhaps countless others), and neither do I! So, we're going to have one and that is that. I was thinking for all of the Northwesterners that maybe Olympia would be a fun middle ground, but I think Washington Park could suffice just as well, and the rose garden there is almost as if right off of the album cover for Ladybug Transistor's 'Albemarle Sound'. So, who's up for some kickball, music, barbeque, sun (hopefully) and lots of fun?

Message-ID: a nasty little bee just stung my ankle and it's swelling up and making me quite uncomfortable. this buzz about the west coast shows is all very exciting, and i hope that i can get some funds together so that i can make it out there. a teller at the bank today informed me that i have exactly thirty-two cents in my checking account, which means i will have until my next paycheck to fine-tune my skill of making my own fun. maybe i will practice playing some songs. i have a guitar, a darbuka and a tambourine i can bring to the picnic and i am lousy at all of them but i can't very well bring my piano. about an hour ago, my brother david decided to rebel and he got an earring. now we are waiting to see how long it will take for the parents to notice. the earring looks nice enough, but his poor ear is all red. tomorrow i am getting my hair chopped off and i am terrified. the last time i had a haircut, aimee hacked it off with a safety- scissors. i was huddled on a picnic table in munich, hugging my knees and managing to keep my composure, but then aimee lost control and took a bit of skin out of my neck. she said she didn't break the skin, but it was bleeding later so i guess she lied. you can still see a tiny mark on my neck, and it goes well with the small scar just under my chin from the time lemonpie laura burned me with a cig while we were wrestling. time to go watch reruns of saturday night live and eat kool-pops. luv kirsten Care2 make the world greener! http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Even if I didn't, I would be driving somewhere to see them. If I was still stuck in Connecticut I would be flying to Los Angeles for the event, or elsewhere. Anyway, my purpose here is to invite people to my floor the night before or night of the show or really any related night. I know I live in Stockton and it is hardly a grand city, but if a person needs a place to stay so that they can go to the San Francisco show, just let me know.

I seriously do not think that B&S have completely anounced thier whole north american tour. So if your city is not on the list(like toronto), do not worry just yet. If toronto is not on the east coast and midwest dates, then worry. But I have a feeling that B&S will play some east coast dates, in fact it would be silly if they did not. I just hope they play montreal or boston. I just think they are announcing a few dates, to give us fans in the US some sense of when they might be near us. I am guessing they will be here east in october, but i may be wrong.
