From TJL511 at xxx.com Wed May 1 04:09:15 2002 From: TJL511 at xxx.com (TJL511 at xxx.com) Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2002 23:09:15 EDT Subject: Sinister: Tribute To Laura! (And Boston Tickets!) Message-ID: <1a6.1a0fd86.2a00b65b@aol.com> So I have already given up on being witty and moved onto stealing something and claiming it as my own (see Astrid's title on 4/29 or "Cemetry Gates" or Laura Llew). Moving on. I was trying to set a record for being the Longest Lurker. Actually, I think I just wanted to have the same initials as Laura Llew. Laura Llew. Striking Lo-Lita resemblance for me when it rolls off my tongue (I'm trying to do a Nabokov thing but it's been way too long). Am I the only one who gets turned on by her words? I watch the F#@&ing Gilmore Girls now for crying out loud. If someone could first kidnap and deprogram me from the Chu-nies cult, I'm sure I would be a LLewd cult member if I don't qualify already. I've been quiet for about 7 months, but a need to free myself of two (maybe 3) extra tickets for the May 4th Boston show forced me to write. I debated whether I should just eat the tickets in order to keep my streak alive, but I worried that someone out there might actually really want them. I would like to thank all of you at this time for my daily reading material. I found you all after I decided not to fly anymore in...what a shocker/coincidence...September. A big change for me since I used to fly on average 100,000 miles a year internationally and was on the road for up to 9 months out of the year. The most ironic thing to me is that if I didn't have such a big problem flying ("big"=6 mg of valium per flight before 9/11), I would be in Edinburgh this coming weekend instead of seeing B&S in Boston. I live in Boston and have listened to B&S for some time know. Ken, among your general genius, your tennis references crack me up as tennis is/was a major part of my travels. Content requirement: I can tell you that my favorite B&S moments were/are usually when I'm sprawled out and jet lagged in airports with "Is it wicked not to care" playing in my headphones (preferably in Olbia, Italy). In closing, I know I've probably broken about 10 rules in this email, but if I've learned anything over the past seven months it's that one is supposed to break rules, and then apologize for doing so. (Here's where I sneak in that I like the "Lists" to some extent. Why? 1) Any disc I wasn't familiar with I put on a list to check out and 2) Lists give Ken the chance to be witty). Therefore, I am now sorry for breaking any rules. I'm sorry I was rushed for time with this and have no Sinister name. If anyone is interested in the Boston tickets please email me at TJL511 at AOL.com. Thank You(s) and Sorry(s) and of course...StoliRaz TJL511 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Um, I suppose it's been a strange time. Last week, one of my closest friends died in an auto accident. I think cars must be responsible for more deaths than any other man-made creation, except maybe cigarettes. I really, really loved her, or rather, I really, really love her. I feel now that it is my duty to really strive, take risks, and achieve whatever it is that I want to achieve. Lacey set out a year and a half ago to discover her spiritual self. She left the comfort of her home and travelled to Alaska, leaving an immense wave of self-realisation behind her. People were angry with her, but I wasn't. She had to do it. Nobody know how little time she might have then. I didn't see much of her. I would see her every few months or so. Every time, she seemed happier, more satisfied, more at peace. I say often that my love for her was unrequited, but I know that it was not. It was oh so requited. Not many have been more loving, more sincere, more willing to accept without judgement. I remember the joy of just silence with her, letting music and roomlight do all the talking. Everyone who encountered her felt a peace following her, a message of real satisfaction, and that is so rare, so rare, in modern society. I hope one day to feel the kind of everyday joy she did, or does. Although, I do love life now. I suppose I might seem a bit goal oriented. As much as I would like to be a successful musician, it is because I love music, and I want to reach as many people as possible, to share what I have been given by so many talented people. It's really important to me, and I want to go to Glasgow, study literature, and make music, so dammit, i will. I have made the plans, if I can get my paperwork in, to go to UNiversity, and I should be leaving in October. It's just a reminder of the fleeting quality of life, that you can be so radiant, and then be stolen in a moment, but if she is at peace, if there are not loose ends, then the issue is strange. Her Dad is the only surviving member of her immediate family, and I feel for him immensly. He has a partner and a baby on the way, as the parents were divorced, and as a friend of mine said, Lacey and her brother Brady will sneak into that baby somehow. I can't face the reality of the accident. She was always leaving, always visiting, so it seems as though she'll phone any day now, recently returned from an excursion of some sort. They were not excursions, she took them seriously. I loved her in a way that I feel must be rare. There was very much an understanding, and I very much treasure that. It is a reminder that I should take time to be good to many friends and cultivate many realtionships, and her death has, strangely enough, brought me together again with people, taught me more of the joy and validity of holding a friend. I am not overly sentimental, I don't feel, but I don't think it matters here. Sometimes I want to cry and run, to hide, to ignore, but celebrating the beauty is so much more important, and I really think I feel her presence sometimes, reflected in a certain natural settings, or, actually, all settings. I hope to God that any message I send out gets to her somehow. It's hard to get over how strange the situation is, and even though I don't know all of you personally, I hope this is applicable, and that you have someone you love. I know I am better for it. I love you, Lacey. _________________________________________________________________ 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 had a paper on the book Hope Against History due today for my Irish History final. I started reading at around midnight last night, read until 9 am (with a bit of goofing around in between), emailed my professor, then dozed off until 1:45. I had to take my Ethics of Cyberpunk exam at 3:30, so I sat down at the computer and hammered out an eight page paper (with quotations) in 45 minutes. I turned it in, took the cyberpunk exam (which was complete crap) and picked up the 10 page cyberpunk paper I had turned in about 2 weeks ago. Now the cyberpunk paper which I worried about most of the semester, took me about 6 hours to sling together (that includes research) once I just stopped caring. So I made an A-, without even a full bibliography. Why does this happen? I got an A+ on my cyberpunk midterm earlier in the year, without studying or reading the material. This shouldn't be the way things are. But they are. Another successful procrastination. I'll never learn at this rate. Al Franken is on Conan O'brien, and I must wonder, why does he get "You Can Call me Al" as his theme music? The world is full of cute girls. I mean, REALLY cute girls. I've never really noticed before, but the past few months, I have noticed them in DROVES. Maybe it's because it's spring, a time when a young man's flight turns to fancy. Or maybe I just hang out in a coffee shop too much. Either way, they're all probably after Ken Chu anyway, so I'm not going to bother attempting to talk to them. Or look at them. Or stand near them. Or be in the same room with them. Maybe Benedict had it right by jumping into a bushel of thorns whenever a woman came by. Belle and Sebastian on the Scottish Parliament sounds like a great idea! Maybe the band can supply the Scottish motto, if there isn't one already. Can't you just imagine a great seal, with St. Andrew's cross and the phrase "Scotland: She's on the Rag" Then again, maybe that wouldn't work. I love Scotland though, really. going to get his ass kicked next time he's in Scotland -Matt _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Bring it awn, boys. Normally, I would take the time to write a post which is clever, vivacious, intriguing, alluring, and everything else people use to describe themselves in personal ads. Only once in your life would you have responded to ANYTHING the way you would have responded to such an e-mail, though you would have forgotten when it was or even if it was ,in fact, you that responded. Your life would have been complete with the wind singing my name endlessly, although it would be with a slight lisp that makes it difficult to understand if you're standing near an air conditioner. But I'm tired and my head hurts so fuck that shit*, freakazoid. I'm in a quandry (give me nine more years and I'll be just like Robert Benchley. I'm already practicing my, "Why don't you slip out of those wet clothes and into a dry martini?") and I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me. My fellow North Carolinian, Damo *The Enforcer* Seils, had an unused ticket for Sunday's B&S show in NYC so being the generous thoughtful lass I am I offered to take it off his hands. Being the sucker he is, he mailed it to me priority mail sometime last week. However, it's still not here and I leave on my roadtrip tomorrow. I will be a despondent heartbroken girl I end up not being able to see the show (after paying $40 for the ticket). Is there anyone who would be suitably influenced by a pouty rosy cheeked girl who I could sway to have some pity on me. Any ideas of what I could do here or who I could direct the full force of my pout at? The existence of my second problem depends on whether or not I get the first one figured out. There's a Sinister Picnic on Sunday at noon in Central Park (which will be announced tonight by Miss Sexpot Julie so don't go asking me for details - I'll only disappoint) where all of my favorite people will be. However, I don't handle large groups very well. I remember tale of a NYC picnic of yesteryear where someone else tried to go but could never make it for the same reason of shyness. So, I thought if there was anyone else out there who wanted to be anti-socially social they should just let me know - especially if it happens to be someone that I've talked to before on here as I'm not in the mood. I can't say I'll accept any offer because well I *am* anti-social. Plus, I don't have any desire to be freed of my life anytime soon by meeting some dubious character. At times I do go to big cities by myself hoping to be taken advantage of but sadly - not this one. If you wanna do something just drop me a line at Lleweth at yahoo.com. Otherwise, I will most likely be doing something horribly geeky like going on a self prescribed Dorothy Parker tour taken from http://www.dorothyparkernyc.com/dhaunts.htm though I plan to be distracted shortly into it as there are simply too many stray pennies and other various shiny objects around to keep me from my course. (This has absolutely nothing to do with the fact this site tells you where the nearest best bars are to each stopping point either). Forever yours or until supplies last, Laura * I was disappointed to hear this one is going to be an instrumental. I would have loved to hear lyrics to such a piece. PS - Pixies News I'm Excited About: The rest of the demo tape that Come On Pilgrim was a part of is being released this summer. It's mostly songs that were later rerecorded, but not for awhile after. I'm oh so curious to hear. PPS - Thanks to Billzebub Harris who is supplying me with my roadtrip mix for this trip. Woo! I promise I haven't forgotten the transatlantic mix tape challenge. I've almost got all of the prize together (all of the books reference in b&s songs) but I'm having trouble finding a copy of Closely Watched Trains. I even bought one but the evil bookstore never sent me a copy of it though they took my money. Hoodwinked - in the name of Sinister!

It turned out the other kids weren�t worth being something for anyway, and they hounded me out of the team after I eventually got in, but I still watched without grudge the other kids� enthusiasm for just running around daft chasing a football. It was grate. That walk followed a trip to the bank incidentally, to open a student account. It only dawned on me there that I�ve only got 2 handful�s worth of schooldays left ever, and then I have to do something with myself.. at least until I have to go to glasgow. Working through the summer doesn�t really appeal, but I suppose the Haribo does. Somewhere between all the mayhem, I went into I shop downtown that I had always thought of going to but I never really got much of a chance to. So I went in, and amongst all these Nepalese clothes was a White Riot 7�. And a fabulous black floppy hat that I wore in the shop for ages when I was having a potter, which is so big it hid my ears. And about Top Lists, Shlop Cists, Mr Matthew Henderson talked a bit about the Clash. They should get on any list, so they should. Speaking of hearthrobbingly fantastic, Dido is lovely. I wish I could marry her. Isn�t Hugh Grant such a big poop? I�m not sure if I�ve heard anyone say �bogger!� so many times in an hour and a half.

Fiona mentioned that Andy Rourke made a visit, which reminded me of the hilarious time had when the drummer of Shed 7 stayed the night at my mates halls, he was such a charming chap, he drank all our beer, puked in the toilet, talked about his wife and kid, then shagged my mate. What a true gentleman, there is even a photo somewhere of me on the guitar in a stupid "posh" dress and him behind, sprawled out on the kitchen surface like a drunken ape boy. Rachel P mentioned some drinking olyimpics (have i spelt that right) on may 25th, well i suggest we all have a fucking big knees up on either 24th or 25th because it's my 22nd birthday on the 24th and i want to lunge myself into a false sense of security by having lots of lovely people round me. I can then take pictures of you all so that when im old i can pretend i had millions of mates, YEY!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking of organising a prog rock night to represent my journey into the dark side ( see that in joke there..........er, yeh).

So, last night I saw a little band called Belle and Sebastian. Here is what they played: Sleep the Clock Around Dirty Dream #2 Waking Up to Us Seeing Other People Wandering Alone If You're Feeling Sinister My Wandering Days Are Over Seymour Stein The Model Texarkana Baby (cover) Me and the Major The Boy with the Arab Strap Fox in the Snow The State That I'm In Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying There's Too Much Love The Wrong Girl The Lonliness of a Middle Distance Runner Legal Man So You Want to Be a Rock N Roll Star (cover) The show was amazing. I had never seen B&S before, and they exceeded all of my expectations, which were rather high to begin with. Stuart was an excellent frontman - he was happy, talkative, and funny. He did a lot of dancing and bouncing about. There was a lot of banter onstage amongst the band as well as with the audience. Stuart invited an audience member to speak the "In a town so small..." part from "Dirty Dream #2" - probably because Isobel wasn't there. He also invited two people onstage to dance (one was the same guy as the I mentioned above). There was much wearing of cowboy hats by the band and the string section, and talk of Texas, heat, and skinnydipping (apparently Mick had done a little of that the night before). The band sounded good and were plenty loud, at least up at the front. My friends and I were about six or eight feet from the stage, and the crowd were polite and not pushy - always a plus!! Afterwards, we tried to get a setlist and were unsuccessful, though my friend Victor managed to snag Stuart's towel. Anyway, I took a whole roll of film, and I hope the pictures come out. All in all, it was one of the best (if not the best) shows I've ever attended!!! OK must stop gushing and go to work.

Message-ID: Belle & Sebastian! In Austin! Well. I generally travel by bus, with a bookbag full of helpful supplies including such items as my flashlight, a state map, a bus schedule and some decent reading material (ideally, something thick with a hard cover in case I need to press some leaves or blossoms). If the Backyard venue had not wanted me to also pack my standard concert supplies, which include a camera and a recording device, they ought to have said so before I got to the gate. The man said he needed to go through my bag. "Uh...am I allowed to have a camera?" "No." "Oh. I have a camera." He repeated that he needed to go through my bag to actually see the alleged camera. Wow, I realized. SECURITY here is HARDCORE! I was further impressed by the fact that my friend who had driven was already inside the gates. It would have been cool if he was permitted to walk with me back to the car to stow my things, or perhaps even if he had been allowed to lend me his car keys to go by myself, but SECURITY was very firmly against this scheme. NO RE-ENTRY! Humbled by the single-minded purpose of these Titans among men, I waited until they looked away, handed the bag to my friend, got my ticket torn as I walked through the gate (taking care not to declare the dead whore I had buried in my cleavage, the crack vial behind my ear, or my trusty shotgun tucked in my left pant leg) and retrieved my bag. I also recorded the whole show, hence this set list: (Cornershop, the opening band, was kinda lame. Their own tambourine girl refused to get up and dance. Criminy, what's the point of a sullen, sitting tambourine girl, anyway? Their songs were long, and I was glad when they were over.) Stevie (I think it was Stevie) twittered a happy tune on his harmonia and the REAL music began... sleep the clock around dirty dream number two waking up to us seeing other people wandering alone if you are feeling sinister my wandering days are over seymour stein the model *a cover of 'texarkana baby' for us Texxxans!* WESTERN SWING! me and the major boy with the arab strap fox in the snow state that i am in get me away from here, i'm dying there's too much love wrong girl middle distance runner legal man a cover of the Byrd's 'so you want to be a rock & roll star' The light rigging high above the stage was creaking at times, in the breeze (we were under the stars, fab!) and every so often the members of the band would glance upwards with a worried look. Struan actually missed a lyric when a strong gust gave it a good rattle. He also had a false start during 'the state that i am in,' having just come off some banter about getting drunk in austin bars, singing "i was hammered for a while" instead of the usual, and then starting over. His voice was lovely. The crowd was a bit sad that there was no encore, which is pretty rude in Austin. I don't think I've ever been to a show where the band didn't play an encore. But perhaps it's not the same in Scotland? Or maybe the SECURITY people threatened to take Struan's ball away. They were so silly. As the crowd thinned, a guy I'd met at a party came round to get my number, as we'd set off fireworks by the Law School at our university after a party a month ago and were both keen on doing it again. (We wore cowboy hats and took turns with an ancient violin and a drum and possibly some beer as the festivities welcomed the dawn.) SECURITY came and shouted at us to move along, and we couldn't help but laugh. These burly angry men were treating the twee B&S fans like a Circle Jerks crowd. Anyway, SECURITY told my renegade cowboy friend and myself that if we didn't get out in five minutes, he'd come "take care" of us. As I'd already dealt my drugs, emptied my shotgun into the stars (which, at night, shine BIG and BRIGHT deep in the heart of Texass) and turned a handsome profit on my dead whore, I decided to call it a night and spend the rest of the evening with my illicit recorded tapes and film. Since it was my very first time ever seeing one of my most favorite bands, I wanted to write it down for y'all, since so many of you were kind enough to share your experiences for me. The only thing missing was Isobel, who was evidently skipping the Austin show to rest up, I'd have liked to see her onstage. Stringed instruments, sequined cowgirls, Stevie dancing, Mick in a Beerland t-shirt, Struan hopping, a mass of indiekids turned out for a band (one which they never thought would tour TEXAS!) and underhanded nonsense... ~ Paisley _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

This is what things should be like I wonder Matthew mentioned his.... > Ethics of Cyberpunk exam at 3:30 I had this Cyberpunk thing explained to me about a week ago, but it still doesn't get into my mind the right way. I hate the word. How much I hate the word. Whenever I read it my face becomes an unmistakeable grin and my head shouts "Come on Kersy, laugh out loud, you can do it, show them how WRONG they are" and whenever someone near me pronounces it (which doesn't happen often) I look at them with very very big eyes trying to shut my head up for good because it goes "don't bother talking to him anymore. he's just a complete idiot from a world that believes in "cyberpunk"". And do Cyberpunks exist ? As in "PUnks" ? As in "Punk's dead" ? and as in "Punk is dangerrrrous ? But I don't want it to happen. I really want to try and take stuff like that seriously, especially because it seems one of my friends does. But how can you take something with that name seriously ?? It sounds SO pretentious goth-ish. Argh. I hate it. > Am I the only > one who gets turned on by her words ?? What an amazing compliment to come from a man to a woman !

Do you think that's our "last memory" or is it not important compared to all the life memories? It sounds to me like Honduras is a lovely place to die.) But hearing such a compliment, even if it's not for me, does turn me on. This is what comes from me for now Kerstin *who is not Swedish because that would have been cold* __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

Here�s some information for those of you attending the NYC picnic this weekend, from our loveliest of hostesses, the completely inimitable Miss Julie. She�ll be the cute, clever, well-dressed one; I�ll be the wacky, disheveled and disconcerted foreigner. You can be whatever you like. But if you�re not there, you�d better have a VERY good excuse. I�ve come all the way from Adelaide for this*, and you actually can�t get further from the picnic than that, unless you�re some sort of spaceman. I hope you�re all well, but mostly I hope you�re all THERE. Yes, Laura, I�m looking at you. Bulk love, -Vanilla Flavoured David. *This may not, in fact, be entirely true. Sue me. Here�s Julie�s bit, a.k.a. �the important bit�: Hello all. Apologies for not posting this sooner, it�s just that May 5 seemed so far away for so long, but now suddenly it is so close! Okay, there is going to be a PICNIC in Central Park on Sunday, May 5, from noon til the time people have to flee to the gig. For anyone who has been to a sinister picnic in New York in the last couple of years, we�ll be having it at our usual spot. This is in the park, behind the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The best way to get there is to take the 6 train to 77th St, walk three blocks west to 5th Ave then turn right (north) and walk until you see the museum. Turn left, into the park. You will pass a playground and a statue of bears. Then you will go under an arch. You will go straight for a little bit along the path, then the picnic will be on the right. Or, look at this map: http://www.geocities.com/completelyinoffensive/picnic.html It�s polite to bring food or some sort of refreshment to a picnic, and it�s nice to share. It�s also nice to bring your hostess gifts. Oh okay, you don�t have to bring me any gifts, your presence is gift enough my lovelies. Anyway, for further information, email me at jules910 at hotmail.com. To anyone who emailed me personally after my last post, I will email you shortly. See you Sunday, kiddies.

Warning: long! Message-ID: <009601c1f11b$9b5478e0$eba3ecd8@default> OH. MY. GAWD. ::Lisa is 12, mentally:: Welcome to the one of the best nights of my life. I am tempted to send it all out play by play, in *excruciating* detail. (Do you really want to know? Really? Sure? Ok.) This is the first time I had ever seen the band (after being thwarted from taking a plane on Sept. 14th last year, to go to Seattle. ) I knew it would be one of the most amazing shows I'd ever seen, but I didn't know exactly HOW true that was to be. ::You could either be successful ....:: The setlist's been posted, so I won't repeat that, but wow!! Nearly *all* of my favourite songs!! I almost cried when they struck up "There's Too Much Love", my favourite ever. So many songs off of Sinister as well! I felt as though *you* were there with me. The band was jovial, banterous ( a word? I looked it up in my dicCHUnary) and bouncy (fun fun fun fun fun). Stevie joked that he was being "oh so demanding" by requesting that we clap on a few songs. Stuart put his leg up on a monitor but kinda fell a bit, and then said "I've only put my leg up on a monitor once or twice in my life. Guess I'm not good at it. Pathetic, really" He tossed his soccer ball out to the crowd and we all enjoyed playing w/ it. Someone yelled "Manchester United!!". It was too funny to hear that come out in a Texan twang! At one point, Stuart chastised Sarah for taking off her "Texas"emblazoned cowgirl hat, and I shouted out "Don't Mess with Texas". Stuart looked right at me, and said "Oh , I know! You don't!!" I gave Stevie the "Don't Mess with B&S" pins I had made, and he thanked me so politely. These Scottish boys fit in so well in Texas, someone's gone to the trouble of teaching them manners. They should move here! :) I can't describe how incredible it was to hear "Fox in the Snow", the most beautiful and consoling song. ever. Suffice it to say that a crowd of probably 3,000 was transfixed, in silence. Stuart remarked that he thought we were a good audience and that even though we were probably the biggest crowd they'd ever played to, we knew when to yell during the loud ones and to be quiet during the soft songs. Yes, Stuart, we've been waiting years and have travelled miles to see you, you think we're going to f*** it up now? Later on, Jeanette (another Texas listie, the only one I managed to find,and a wonderfully cool woman, in her own right!) and I wandered around and found Richard, Stuart, Stevie and Sarah all hanging out, talking to some friends and fans. I had my picture taken w/ Stuart and Richard, who were so sweet about it. Richard even went to the trouble of handing around my fishyclap booklet , so that various people could sign it. What a guy!! They said they'd be working on a new album the second half of this year, but that they have plans to tour again next year, and that they'll come back to Texas!! yay! Richard talked to us a bit about Storytelling as well. He asked me what I thought of the film, to which I replied "Well, I liked *your music* in it!" He smiled and said he could see what I was saying about how when someone tries to hard to shock one (in the film), it's a bit off putting. He said he really didn't know Todd Solondz's other work, so had no idea what he was getting into. He said that the film was originally supposed to be 2 1/2 hours long, so some of the songs they wrote for it, relate to parts of the film which didn't make the final cut. He was worried that because it's a soundtrack, people might not get into it. I said, "Oh, I don't think you'll have to worry about that!" ::Sing along with Stuart:: Start told us that he'd done kareoke the night before and that they were planning on going back that night. He said he thought it would be great fun to sing the BeeGees and treated us to a few lines "You can tell by the way I use my walk..." Hilarious! So, we didn't want to bug them anymore,so we said we'd try to come to the kareoke. We made it to the club a few minutes before the band arrived, and were treated to Stuart singing John Denver's "Annie's Song" (You fill up my senses) and to him doing a duet with the hostess of the night, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" Too F!U!N! Then, as the kareoke was over, the maestro (?) put on Ac/Dc's "You Shook Me All Night Long", to which Stuart shook his Scottish booty! FUN!!! There are more details, aren't there always? But I think that's more than sufficient for now. Write me if you would like to hear more, I guess. I don't have anywhere to post pictures, but once they come out, I will let you know. A very VERY happy woman, Much love to you all, Lisa from Texas (I really just used this name as a way to differentiate myself from possible other Lisas on the list. Now it seems SO appropo of last night!) p.s. Feel free to chime in with more details, Jeanette! :) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Connections are important. We wouldn't be human if we couldn't make connections between things and derive results. Or if we couldn't make connections between things and derive beauty. Some connections are straightforward -- connect Badly Drawn Boy to St. Etienne via daytime television. Others are a little harder to grasp immediately. IF I WAS A SEAGULL I had a strange dream the other night. I dreamt that I was creating a TV series, adapted from a book. When I woke up, I remembered what book it was: "Foucault's Pendulum", by Umberto Eco. A bunch of men, working at a publishers, are fed up with conspiracy theorists sending stuff in to their slush pile, so they create their own conspiracy theory based on all the best bits they get sent. It's easy to do. If two things look like coincidence, it's because they're related. If two things look similar, they must be the same. You go from there. Coincidences are the times when you didn't spot half what's going on. THE CENTRE OF YOUR SO-CALLED PENIS Spotted on TV recently: "The Truth About Gay Sex". A wonderful programme, if only for the nature-study aspect of it. After showing us round all his favourite public toilets, a man takes us onto Hampstead Heath at night, prowling with a torch in the best David Attenborough fashion. Whispering all about the nocturnal mating habits of the gay man, he suddenly says: "Shh! Listen!" We go quiet, on the edge of our seats, and hear: TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! "Someone's having a spanking session!" he says. I fell off my chair giggling. THOUGH IT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE BABY Incidentally, that TV programme is where the topic line came from. They wheeled on a doctor. He must know what he's talking about, because he has a nice diagram, a cross section of the male abdomen, in colour. "There's definitely a risk that a penis could damage the recto-sigmoid junction." Other tips picked up: the best lubricant for anal fisting seems to be a type of lard. It looked like it was intended for pastry-making. Yum. I hope you understand, I wasn't trying to suggest that David Attenborough likes to go cruising on Hampstead Heath. I'd never suggest a thing like that. He might try to sue. PAY THE GUARD TO SWITCH THE SIGN "So, how do I get from Grimsby to Leeds?" "Oh, it's easy. Get the Manchester train, and change at Recto-Sigmoid Junction" TAKE THE SAME TRAIN INTO WORK Of course, in the dream my adaptation fitted perfectly to the book and all made sense. It even did for a few minutes after I woke up. It was only after my brain started to run smoothly that I realised I'd missed out huge parts of everything, completely changed all the characters and locations, scrapped all the dialogue, and written an entirely different ending. All in all, then, it was a typical TV adaptation. If you don't want to know what happens near the end at all, spank me now. TEN BIGGEST WANKS The whole point of the TV show seemed to be: men can never get enough sex, even if they're gay. This is the real one I'm talking about, not the one from the dream. If you're gay and bored in your lunch break -- it implied -- you can just pop down to your local public loo, stick your dick through a hole in the partition, get some stranger to give you a tug and be back at your desk five minutes later. Lesbians (there was an earlier programme in the series) spend hours in bed together per session. Gay men, on the other hand, take five minutes out of every day and aren't choosy. Don't blame me if you disagree with this, because I know it's a broad sweeping generalisation which is entirely untrue. But it was just the feeling that the programme put across. CARAVAN IN HULL By the end of the book, of course, the men have fallen into the trap of believing that their theory is true, because it fits history so well. It fits history so well because they have picked the bits they want to fit, and misinterpreted their starting point. But it takes the narrator's girlfriend to point this out. In fact, the only rounded-out female character in the book is the one who is sane, sensible, and tells everyone that conspiracy theories are all a load of bobbins. As Dimitra would say, "Stupid Boys!" THIS IS NOT WHO WE WERE Last night, on the other hand, I dreamt I was travelling to Mull. Maybe if you give me a few hours I'll be able to connect that to Brookside, and female smoking as a symbol of women's rights. It's all a big conspiracy, I tell you. love xx caitlin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I only have a few things to add to our Lovely Lisa's take on Tuesday night's show in Austin (which was as incredible as everyone has said!!). Numero uno: The first song -- an instrumental showcasing Stevie and his harmonica -- was apparently "Fuck This Shit" from the new soundtrack album. Numero two-o: "Texarkana Baby" is a Bob Wills chune, for anyone who may not know. It was really cool. Even though Stuart teased us that they were going to play a Butthole Surfers song. I guess Bob Wills is a good substitute for the Buttholes? And thricely: Stop pouting about encores, my little Texas buckaroos! I don't think B&S do encores. I've only seen them six other times, so I'm not an expert or anything, but I've never seen them do an encore. Can anyone out there tell us if they EVER do them? One highlight of the show last night was watching Sarah participate in the stage shenanigans! She seemed so relaxed and acted like she was really having fun. Hope all y'all enjoy the upcoming shows!! Hugs, Jeanette P.S. I love the "Don't Mess With B&S" badge, Lisa!

But the venue sounds peculiar: you were underneath the stars? Doesn't it ever rain in Austin? And does anyone know what's the deal with Isobel on this tour? Is she ill? Or does she just choose which shows she wishes to play these days? That seems a bit unfair on the rest of the band, and also on certain, fixated members of the paying crowd. I mean, I'm happy to pay $25 or whatever to see them play, but a good chunk of that is so that I can enjoy the sulky, moody, wonderful performances of young Ms Campbell. It just wouldn't be the same without her. It should be half-price for any show where she doesn't play. Anyhow, good to read on nme.com that plans for the next album are well underway. They should record it in 2 weeks instead of minging around for months like they did last time. And let Sarah do more stuff, that woman is potentially the greatest pop star of the 21st Century. Did anyone in New York see Joe Pernice at Brownies the other night? Oh, he was so good! Just Joe and his guitar, basically. Lovely.

ANYHOO i emerge briefly to announce: oO0 BOSTON PICNIC DETAILS 0Oo i see i've already been thanked for taking on picnic mummy duties, before even dispensing with such duties properly. ha! thanks love. we'll see who's thanking whom come saturday. erm. yeah. so i've decided on a place (thanks to those who offered suggestions) and time (randomly... on my own... i hope it makes sense). 3 PM: at the fountain in BOSTON COMMON directly in front of the venue (the ORPHEUM). for those of you who are wont to getting hopelessly lost, i could arrange to meet you a little bit earlier at the boston common T station. if there is such a need, email me. .... from there, we can move along to the PUBLIC GARDENS, which are close by and pretty. we can then spend a few hours eating, preferably from FOOD WE HAVE BROUGHT (more likely, however, we can send groups out strategically to buy things, judging from prior picnic experience). or, we can just laze about and then go out to dinner together. or WHATEVER OUR LITTLE HEARTS DESIRE. yup. i am Ms. Go-with-the-flow Picnic Mummy. 5:30 PM or thereabouts: depending on the size of the group and its age make-up (i am aware we shall have some underagers among us), we may MOVE ON OVER TO FOLEYS PUB, also conveniently located closeby. This option is for those who arrive late, or consider themselves too cool to hang out at a picnic on the Commons. Or for those who are coming along with other friends who refuse to attend an outdoor gathering of sinister freaks and geeks but may be okay with going to a pub where you might happen to run into said freaks and geeks (my sister is one of these, for instance, and i shall likely be meeting her there). OK? SOUND GOOD? Doors open at 7:30 p.m., so I figured that 4.5 hours of pre-show hang-out is more than enough. Any more than that, and I'd be at a complete loss as to what to do. If you're running late or whatever, we will probably be easy to spot. But maybe not. In this case, I will provide you with my sister's cell phone number. (I was going to just post it here, but I think my sister would kill me if she found out i did that. So, email me for it.) Just give me a call and I'll guide you to where we're at. Also, in case some of you didn't know this, the secret sinister listee sign is to wear your b&s pins upside down (no, i don't know who thought this up, and yes, this insinuates you are near enough to notice). also also also if you want to know what i look like in order to ease recognition, go here: www.geocities.com/dahling007 or www.dreamwater.net/slithytoves/me.htm is that it? i think so. if anyone wants to come equipped with some sort of activity, be my guest. scrabble...inflatable toy...erm...whatever. i'll likely come equipped with my digital camera and maybe some cookies. so be warned (on both accounts). oh yeah if anyone is interested in post-show socializing, we may be able to arrange that. i might have a special activity lined up, but that's as of now still up in the air. thanks to those who gave me some input. further input is still welcome. see some of you on saturday! ta! -stacey _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

And does anyone know what's the deal >with >Isobel on this tour? Is she ill? Struan explained Isobel's absence by telling us that the tour schedule was hard on her, and she was resting up by skipping some dates. I was sorry not to get to see her. At first I wondered if Sarah was her, but she was smiling far too much, the cutie. B&S did get a moody cellist to replace Isobel though, who was very pretty in a tattered white dress and stylish blonde hair. She wandered off to sulk periodically, hee. Texas weather does whatever it pleases, but lately it's been busy getting hot. Enough rain, time for the flowers to bloom. It's Beltane today, kids, did you remember? Happy Beltane! I went camping with my Pagan Student Alliance friends (our official university organization, yes, we're registered and have elections and hold meetings and all that) to celebrate the season as it arrived. People from all across the state (and some even further away) gathered together on a woodsy piece of land owned by a pagan organization. Well, I came in the trunk because there was no room in the car. We were arriving a bit late to the campsite because I'd had to attend class. So I missed the crowning of the May King and Queen, as well as the Maypole. But I was laying there in the trunk, and it was like a spaceship with the taillights blinking, and then the trunk opened up and I was in the woods. The atmosphere was families, fires burning, workshops, green meditation groves, and lots of smiling. It was also clothing optional, so after three days some people had sunburn troubles, despite the copious amounts of sunscreen. If freckles are kisses, is sunburn like a big ole hickey? Too fierce! Now we all know where you've been. My ride to the B&S concert is a self-described "indie snob." He was very annoyed when a girl at the concert asked him about his Pedro the Lion shirt. She hadn't heard of them, the blasphemous heathen. He wore his black frames glasses specially to the show, the ones without a prescription because his eyesight is 20/20. One of my friends was camping with her family, so I went to meet her family. A handshakes just doesn't do for a pagan camp-out. As her bare breasted mother gave me a warm embrace, I thought about how people usually think of nudism as uncomfortably sexual. Women keeping their tits tucked away, flirtatiously popping out, or ashamed when they discover a button has accidentally come undone. Men walking as though they have a concealed weapon, hitching their clandestine pride as though it were a weighty theorem shifting in their jeans, or a subtle threat that might cause social humilation. Well, there's push-up bras and thongs, packing and binding. And then there's public showers. I was somewhat disappointed to see that nobody else had scars quite like mine, so I sudsed my face and hair first. By the time I got all the soap away from my eyes, everyone who'd wanted to have a look had politely finished it and merely wanted to borrow some of my shampoo. My ride couldn't believe that there was guy at the show wearing a baseball cap backwards on his head. "Baseball is an indie rock sport, at least. But BACKWARDS at a Belle and Sebastian show?!?" Football is not an indie rock sport, by the way. Golf is tolerable. My ride was undecided about whether or not Struan's soccer ball was appropriate. Pretty complicated to rule the school, ah scenesters. Speaking of football/soccer, when Mike Streets talks about "geezers," is he actually talk about old people, or is this Brit slang for "guys"? I kept myself covered up during the camp-out, until the last night. My friends crept back to our tents after the main ritual (which was Discordian and hilariously apt for a fertility festival). They were burnt to a crisp and thus needing rest. Because it was dark, my skin's marks weren't visible. In the woods, away from the city lights, the sky was so black you could see the stars and a huge halo around the moon. I changed into shorts and an undershirt. It was dawn when I finally left the fire dancers' camp, where they spun fire in the air and fought with flames, and one of them asked me for a kiss before I left. I was wondering he'd still have wanted that kiss if he'd seen my arms and legs in the clear honest light. I wonder why it was okay for those strangers in the shower to see me completely, but I wouldn't let my own friends see me in my shorts. Sometimes I think I am a born liar, but it's nice to meet people you'll never meet again. After the concert, I would have liked to have met the band, as charming and friendly and ordinary as they seemed to be. But my ride though we should follow the car with the Mogwai bumper sticker. To see what cool place they would be headed for. (Fredricksburg.) It's all good. DECEPTIVELY GOOD. ...

"fuck this shit" sounds like a theme song to a 1970's or 80's sitcom, don't you think? stuart said "i'm waking up to us" was about the relationship between conan o'brien and david letterman... or something. and i saw a shooting star!! and i met some really lovely people from dallas, and some from right here in austin. hi to you all! i mean, howdy, y'all! i also took some great blurry photos! if you are interested in that sort of thing, you may email me for the link. warning: these photos may induce motion sickness. all in all, it was a fantastic night, even though instead of going out with the nice sini-people after the show, i had to go back to my apartment and move furniture (yes, i am settling into my new place nicely, thank you!). so i guess i missed the karaoke hijinx! ah well, maybe next time. love, alyson _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I know nobody really likes to be burdened with this sort of thing, and I know I'm probably an idiot for admitting something so personal to the (now) 1600 of you, but it's just got to be said: Andrew W.K.'s "I Get Wet" is one of the most refreshing album's I've heard in a while. It's fantastic. It all sounds the same, it's a 36 minute song. It's fun, it never tries to be anything that it's not, it's completely unpretentious, and it's got cheesy synth. Oh yes baby, when it's time to party, surely, we will party hard. I must give props to my dear dear friend Dimitra (whom I haven't spoken to in AGES) because she sent me a lovely mix cd and an I HEART KEN CHU badge, not to mention a melted chocolate bar from Greece. Now I can proudly display my love for Ken Chu all around town, and nobody will know what the hell it means. Plus, girls will think it's strange and they'll talk to me even less than they do. Of course, any girl worth knowing should love Ken Chu too, don't you think? I was talking with some relatively skanky girls earlier this evening (HI!) about TATs (better known as tatoos). I was wondering if any of you have a belle and sebastian related TAT. Is such a thing possible? What would you get tatooed that represents belle and sebastian. This why they need a logo. I've already expressed my desire for a large Blue Oyster Cult logo on my back. And it will say R.U.Ready 2 Rock. The coolest TAT I have ever seen is a pixelated 8-bit megaman. Now that was great. Anyway, I thought I'd let you know that This is your time to pay this is your judgement day. -Matthew W.K. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <34550036.0967781F.0CBD0065@aol.com> Hi everyone. I cant help but notice an overwhelming amount of people who have ordered extra tickets and now have them spare, therefore causing the tickets to sell out quickly leaving others who want tickets shafted. You'll probably say it's because you have friends who would want to go but let you down. well if that's the case let them purchase them themselves. Last year before I joined any mailing lists I tried to order tickets to a b&s show and was refused cause they had sold out. I wonder how many of you had tickets lying in wallets going un used...

(these two things are not connected.) i can't really read posts which report back from gigs, i've found. i don't know why. maybe it's because a b&s show makes such a strong impression on me when i've directly experienced it, and i don't want to experience it second-hand. so, i guess i am dooming myself to skim-reading a large proportion of the coming posts and probably missing out on some really good jokes and stuff... i did read a post from matthew 'nouveau rock god' henderson about b&s tattoos - it would be just toooooo cringe-worthy to get any kind of tweepop themed tat, but if you did then the bus drawing, or the little boy with one finger up, are the best candidates i think. david went to see joe pernice and i wondered for the nth time if i will ever get to see him over here. sigh. it's only fair - we are exporting b&s after all. oh, and as for the truth about gay sex, it remains, i fear, beknown only to... actual gay people. as the participants in that programme were surely computer generated by a state-of-the-art stereotype machine. yesterday was a very interesting day. i wasn't really expecting a response to my note, as i couldn't imagine ian having the nous to work out who it was from. and i certainly wasn't expecting the response i got. at about midnight on tuesday night there was a heavy knocking at my door, and thinking that anyone who wouldn't use a perfectly good doorbell was obviously a couple of red bulls short of the full chu, i cautiously peeked out of my window. imagine my surprise when i recognised the gleaming bald head and leather tutu of george, an old friend from my days as coat check girl at 'torture garden' in brighton! i ran downstairs and let him (and the 3 young boys he had coiled around him) in. i made them all a cup of tea (george has given up the habit of taking his with goat blood, which was lucky as i was fresh out) and asked him what he was up to. 'well, i wouldn't expect you to know much about it, but it's all the internet for me these days. i'm raking it in.' 'oh yes?' i said. 'is it some site like friends reunited?' 'er.. not as such. more like strangers... bonding.' 'oh, like the sinister list?' once george had stopped laughing he told me what his line of business actually was. the boys gave me a quick demo of the merchandise they've just started selling online, and i ended up agreeing to buy a liquorice flavour whip and a pot of Crisco. finally i remembered to ask what they were actually doing round at my house. 'well', said george, 'it was the strangest thing. this guy phoned up for our thrills-on-wheels, in your own home service, as you do. but he was clearly drunk, raving about southern belles and covering them in desserts... or something. i was a bit surprised when he gave *your* address, but figured that after all, you'd had some pretty dodgy boyfriends in the past and maybe this was just another one trying to give you a nice present. oh, and he said he wanted eggs to be involved somewhere.' i couldn't believe it! what was ian's game? was he trying to get on my good side by offering me 24 hours of free sex games with some really very attractive, oiled young men? it seemed uncharacteristic. but then again, how could i expect sensible measures from a man who kept a nun tied up in his laundry room and had 1600 imaginary friends whom he regularly involved in his absinthe-fuelled fantasies? i decided to go with the flow, draw the curtains and surrender myself to the expert attentions of george and his acolytes. by wednesday afternoon i had learned several interesting uses for a dustbuster, but still had no idea what to do about ian. maybe i should just bide my time. after all, there is surely nothing his feeble mind could throw at me that i couldn't handle... luv archel xxx ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

(these two things are not connected.) i can't really read posts which report back from gigs, i've found. i don't know why. maybe it's because a b&s show makes such a strong impression on me when i've directly experienced it, and i don't want to experience it second-hand. so, i guess i am dooming myself to skim-reading a large proportion of the coming posts and probably missing out on some really good jokes and stuff... i did read a post from matthew 'nouveau rock god' henderson about b&s tattoos - it would be just toooooo cringe-worthy to get any kind of tweepop themed tat, but if you did then the bus drawing, or the little boy with one finger up, are the best candidates i think. david went to see joe pernice and i wondered for the nth time if i will ever get to see him over here. sigh. it's only fair - we are exporting b&s after all. oh, and as for the truth about gay sex, it remains, i fear, beknown only to... actual gay people. as the participants in that programme were surely computer generated by a state-of-the-art stereotype machine. yesterday was a very interesting day. i wasn't really expecting a response to my note, as i couldn't imagine ian having the nous to work out who it was from. and i certainly wasn't expecting the response i got. at about midnight on tuesday night there was a heavy knocking at my door, and thinking that anyone who wouldn't use a perfectly good doorbell was obviously a couple of red bulls short of the full chu, i cautiously peeked out of my window. imagine my surprise when i recognised the gleaming bald head and leather tutu of george, an old friend from my days as coat check girl at 'torture garden' in brighton! i ran downstairs and let him (and the 3 young boys he had coiled around him) in. i made them all a cup of tea (george has given up the habit of taking his with goat blood, which was lucky as i was fresh out) and asked him what he was up to. 'well, i wouldn't expect you to know much about it, but it's all the internet for me these days. i'm raking it in.' 'oh yes?' i said. 'is it some site like friends reunited?' 'er.. not as such. more like strangers... bonding.' 'oh, like the sinister list?' once george had stopped laughing he told me what his line of business actually was. the boys gave me a quick demo of the merchandise they've just started selling online, and i ended up agreeing to buy a liquorice flavour whip and a pot of Crisco. finally i remembered to ask what they were actually doing round at my house. 'well', said george, 'it was the strangest thing. this guy phoned up for our thrills-on-wheels, in your own home service, as you do. but he was clearly drunk, raving about southern belles and covering them in desserts... or something. i was a bit surprised when he gave *your* address, but figured that after all, you'd had some pretty dodgy boyfriends in the past and maybe this was just another one trying to give you a nice present. oh, and he said he wanted eggs to be involved somewhere.' i couldn't believe it! what was ian's game? was he trying to get on my good side by offering me 24 hours of free sex games with some really very attractive, oiled young men? it seemed uncharacteristic. but then again, how could i expect sensible measures from a man who kept a nun tied up in his laundry room and had 1600 imaginary friends whom he regularly involved in his absinthe-fuelled fantasies? i decided to go with the flow, draw the curtains and surrender myself to the expert attentions of george and his acolytes. by wednesday afternoon i had learned several interesting uses for a dustbuster, but still had no idea what to do about ian. maybe i should just bide my time. after all, there is surely nothing his feeble mind could throw at me that i couldn't handle... luv archel xxx ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Message-ID: <20020502134306.67880.qmail@web14003.mail.yahoo.com> but I did want to express my love for what I think is one of the greatest albums of all time.... I've been listening to it so much lately. PET SOUNDS by the Beach Boys. Its one of those albums that you discover over and over again on so many different levels. Its brilliant, really! There's all sorts of rumors about it. Supposedly Brian Wilson was dissatisfied with the music they were doing and wanted to do something else. He heard Sargent Pepper's and locked himself in his house. He didn't leave and he stopped talking to all his friends for a great period of time. People thought he had permanently withdrew and just when they were going to have an intervention he emerged with all the songs from Pet Sounds. I'm not even sure how much of that is true. I guess I'll have to wait for the 'Behind the Music' episode. I don't know if any of you like the beach Boys or not, but if you ever buy something, buy this one. Okay, that's all I wanted to say. Please don't start another string of top ten's because I'm afraid people will hunt me down for starting it. xo to all, Marisa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

If two things look similar, they must be the same. You go from there. Coincidences are the times when you didn't spot half what's going on>>> Hmmm. Could it be a coincidence that she brings up conspiracy theories just as I have come up with the biggest frighteningest conspiracy theory ever? There has been a spate of discussion on the list lately about the twin cults of ‘personalityÂ’ surrounding Ken Chu and Laura Llew. And although these phenomena are sinister (pun obviously intended, but I mean it in the real meaning of the word), I have detected a whiff of something far more diabolical than a mere skinny self-deprecating girl-fancying bloke riding on trains and hoping to pull while distributing self-aggrandizing badges, or a literary Dot Parker type gathering a fawning Sinister coterie of Algonquin Round Table stand-ins; no, this goes far deeper than mere self-absorption and brainwashing on an individual level. I have come up with a theory that explains why these two have captured so much common imagination, and I will advance this hypothesis in all CAPS just in case some people READING this are not really paying ATTENTION/are still in bed: CHU AND LLEW ARE THE SAME PERSON! I could here trot out an immense trove of evidence in support of this theory by culling the archives and taking things out of context, but I think that on some subconscious level you all know I am right. I mean, first and foremost, THE NAMES RHYME. Is this a coincidence? This is a rhetorical question. Rather than living in North Carolina, USA, or the south of England, this one, single, monomaniacal being probably has his/her/its headquarters in a hollowed-out volcano guarded by Guns ‘NÂ’ Roses roadies, and a propaganda staff of mind-numbed sneaky scurrilous southern get slaves slaving away beneath productivity-enhancing mottoes stenciled on the walls, like “You know a girl whoÂ’s tax free on her back and making plenty cash” or “You will be working in the morning and I wonÂ’t be there to see you go off your head”. This single-minded attempt to hijack our affection and primal need to worship some ‘deityÂ’ should be abhorred on all levels, and in fact some international judicial body should step in to break up this cult monopoly, not unlike the Microsoft case currently under consideration. But resistance to the tentacles of the Chu-Llew axis must first come at the grassroots level. Burn your Ken Chu badges on the fire of history today!

She promised to compile all the replies she received and put them up on a web page somewhere. However, it didn't quite go to plan, and all the answers were sadly destroyed in a bizarre accident involving a combine harvester and a bucket of prunes. Because Amy is such a lovely person -- even if she does phone people up when they're not expecting it -- I promised her that I'd redo the whole thing myself. So, I have. It is -- like Amy's original -- "a sort of fun, get-to-know-ya silly thing". I'll compile all the answers and either email them out or put them all up on the web somewhere (whatever's easiest). Please, please, if you want to join in, send your answers directly to me and *don't* post them to the list. The questions (which aren't exactly the same ones that Amy posted) are at the end of this post. I seem to be having a lot of strange dreams lately. Not exactly *bad* dreams, just vivid. Maybe I shouldn't try and sleep and listen to Radio 4 at the same time. Only last night, I was trying to escape from an archaeology field trip when I ran into two Roman men who had accidentally discovered some kind of magic spell which causes time travel. After lots of chasing round and running through London Underground tunnels (which was a bit odd, because the dream started off in East Lothian, and I didn't know the Central line went that far out) I managed to catch up with them -- along with a lot of other people -- and we were all chanting the spell to take us back to the 1st century when I woke up. All morning, I kept thinking: but how would I have coped in Roman times? I don't speak Latin. And how come they learned English so quickly when they got here? The night before I was at a town planning conference in a big hotel, which turned into a bit of a nightmare when I found that me and my friends were all trapped! trapped! and the conference attendees were going to use as as guinea-pigs for some bizarre time-dilation experiments. I'm not sure why there's a time-travel pattern here. That dream never really reached a decent conclusion, although I did discover a way to make my mobile phone alter the structure of reality itself. Which was nice. I've started getting SMS spam, incidentally. It makes me want to shout. One ... two ... three ... YOU BASTARDS! The Austin gig sounds like it was fun, although I wouldn't fancy an outdoor gig in Scotland. They don't do encores very often, but they do sometimes. I could be wrong, but I think the first gig at which they did do one was the second Glasgow gig last summer. The feeling in the audience at the time was "if you don't do an encore, we're not going home". Incidentally, I was intrigued by Paisley going off to make fireworks with a nice young man. We all want to know: how cute is he? Incidentally: am I using the word 'incidentally' too much? I've decided to make a CD for a friend of mine's wedding. On the invite, she asked everyone to suggest a song to be played at the reception. I couldn't think of one specific song I wanted played, and I didn't want to cart any of my own CDs over to Paris for the event, so I decided to make her a CD and send it before the wedding, so she can pick a song or two she likes off it. I'm trying to make sure that she has never heard of any of the bands on it, but as she's a classical music fan that shouldn't be too hard. Lots of B&S, obviously. I'm having a bit of trouble finding nice upbeat good-danceable-to-for-a-wedding-reception songs for it, though. And *then*, I'm going to write a nice little inlay booklet about how pop music saved the world from alien invasion, so sheep could graze peacefully (and disco-dance) once more. She'll like that. Anyway. The questionnaire. 1. What's your name and where do you come from? 2. What name(s) do you use on Sinister/#sinister? 3. How long have you been on Sinister? 4. How old are you? 5. Describe your first snog. Oh, go on. 6. What was the first novel you read that really made you all excited about life and stuff? 7. What's your favourite board or card game? 8. Vowel or Consonant? 9. First movie that made you cry. I know you have, just admit it. 10. First B&S song you heard that made you realise you'd never go back? 11. Best concert/show/gig/whatever? 12. How far would you have to stretch your arms to show just how much you adore Princess Honey? 13. What artists do you admire? Which do we deserve to know more about? 14. Got any siblings? 15. Ever genuinely had an internet crush? 16. Ever had a crush on someone you shouldn't have? 17. On someone a lot lot older or younger than you? 18. Ever been embarrassed by something you've posted on Sinister? 19. ... or something someone else has posted on Sinister? 20. Worst 70s song? 80s song? 90s song? 21. Worst 80s snog? 90s snog? 22. Most overrated band? 23. Got any pets? 24. Who from Sinister would you most like to meet (but haven't)? 25. Which B&S song gets in your head the most? Which other song? 26. Ever been in a car crash? 27. Who did you blame for it? 28. Worst job you've ever had? 29. Ever been in unrequited love? 30. Write a poem! now! Yes, here! And finally: have you ever done it? (NB: this was what Amy said. obviously, *I* don't know how you should interpret it ;-) Maybe this one should be an essay question.) love xx caitlin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Seems to me that there have been plenty of opportunities for free/discounted tickets when there have been spares. Has anyone been able to contact Tower Theatre at all? A couple of list peoples and myself have been unsuccessful. We need to know if the show *really* will start at 8:00, as printed on the tickets... and if cameras are allowed.

It would save a lot of bother, wouldn't it? It all raises some interesting issues, though. I mean, are you a *real* fan if you failed to get a ticket for the concert? Shouldn't you have been hovering over your keyboard/telephone at Noon on that fateful day, cussing like a whore about Ticketmaster's total inability to cope? I consider myself a Huge Fan of TLC, but I tried to get a ticket to Lisa's funeral the other day and the fuckers had all gone already. Bummer. Anyway, next year Belle and Sebastian will play Madison Square Garden and we can *all* get tickets, and then whinge about how they're so far away, and that they're inaudible past the second row. Again. You know there was that awful rumpus a few days ago about Top Ten Lists of Favourite Albums? I've been trying to think of any albums that I own which are actually *perfect*. My definition of that being that they start with an absolute drop-dead classic song and then every single track on the album after that maintains the same standard. Not even a miniscule deviation from genius is allowed. So, no B&S albums make it. No Smiths albums make it. And 'Greatest Hits' aren't allowed. Otherwise the imaginary Lighthouse Family CD in my head would definitely qualify. And the weird thing is that the only 2 albums I can think of which are *perfect* are not my favourite albums by any stretch of the imagination. What does this mean? Is perfection indeed boring, as Claudia Schiffer once whispered to me in a moment of self-doubt? Does an album need a couple of rotters to make the stand-out songs, er, stand out? 'Me and the Major' plays that role to perfection, I think. It would be interesti! ng to know what people think about this. And Please Please Please don't send lists of your 'perfect' albums to Sinister. It's just something to talk about other than tickets, I hope.

A couple of housekeeping items...the toilets are on...oh, sorry, wrong meeting. TICKETS It has been a general convention that it is ok to swap or sell at cost price tickets for B&S on this list. B&S didn't tour much when the list was set up, although their little bottoms must be bus-sore by now, so it didn't cause many problems. This convention still applies. We don't really want the list to be used to tout tickets. In fact, any such activity will be viewed very dimly indeed. But, in view of the persistent touring behaviour by the band, can I make a plea to people selling / looking for tickets - I know you are probably in a panic but if you can (and I haven't always done this myself) make the mail more than a one liner...makes the whole thing a bit less brutal and commercial. SEARCHING You can search past messages from the main list web page, if you have not had time to read the list. http://www.missprint.org/sinister/ NYC and picnic is particularly informative...

And I think the nursery is to thank for it. I would think that your average ticket scalper looking to make a score would not be able to post. I would think such an opportinistic personality would not have the patience and the foresight to sit in the nursery and wait until B&S are touring in order to make a buck. The people who love the band will want others to see it, and not be interested in the $10 or so they might make. Just my $.02, but I think selling tickets, at cost, in sinister is a very, very good thing. I can't think of any other place besides our small cosy corner of the internet to make sure that the person selling the ticket isn't intersted in anything besides helping someone to go to the show, and the person buying the ticket is someone that is actually going to use it and not turn around and scalp the ticket themselves. I bought 8 tickets, but I'm only using 3. The rest are going to a group of friends from Portland and a couplea people from Jersey. And I'm selling them for cost, and one beer. And if they don't have the money for the beer, I'll buy them one. Word up.

Message-ID: hello again sinister. i keep making mistakes. and thinking about those mistakes, i wonder about the nature of making them, and, i suppose, learning whatever it is i am supposed to learn from them. some things i know are wrong before i do them. for example: sending one line bitch posts to the list. i've been here almost a year; i know better. some things i don't mean to do in an incorrect manner. for example: i didn't mean to misspell the boy's name in the newspaper story. but the music was loud in the record shop, and i didn't call to double-check the spelling. when he called i felt terribly, and so trudged downtown through the wind and rain, my umbrella blowing inside out all the way, to show my sheepish face to him and say i was sorry. i ran a correction. i invited him to a party. some things, i have been told, on the other hand, go bad just because. writing the dialogue poem i recently did for a class was a grand mistake. and probably not because i'm no good. probably not because i didn't understand the topic i wrote about. but maybe it was wrong simply because the timing was off, and so was i. sitting here at the paper again, waiting for an editor and someone to help me with my photography project, getting sick in the bathroom at random intervals, i realize that badness, maybe, is relative. perhaps i can focus on the good aspects of my body rejecting whatever toxic things inside must come out. the good aspects of list mummies coming out to remind the kids the list isn't about tickets. the good aspects of knowing how to spell charlie ludwig's name properly for the rest of my days. the good aspects of knowing that not everything i write is amazing, and maybe not even mediocre. i can muddle through, i can. i think i can. i think i can. i always hated that story. *** i remembered tonight a post i had written last summer, shortly after i joined the list. posts had been rife with complaints about belle and sebastian touring only the west coast of the american mainland. i, too, was filled with bitter rage until one day, i just accepted that things weren't going to go my way. i wrote about a birthday and a barbie and a lost barbie jacket. a fringed, pink jacket, nonetheless, one that i would surely like to own for my actual person these days. i started thinking about that jacket about ten minutes ago while in the loos, thinking about how upset i had been last summer about the tour. and the story came back to haunt me, a little. for here i've been sitting for weeks with the barbie i had wanted, the barbie i got after so much whining, and i have lost the jacket. i have lost the chance because of my own negligence. and that's the story of all my recent mistakes, stupidities committed because i was distracted by the overall injustices of situations, not paying attention to my job. to what i should have done all along in the first place. damn. and now, apologies. *** i hope tonight's purging soothes the soul in a way, rids me of the weights i have been carrying. for i feel lighter these days, floating through the next week to a night and a day and a night and a boy. and the show doesn't matter. neither do the tickets, really, or the misspelling, the rain, the umbrella, the poetry class. i have, in the last few months, been walking through and around every day with a sarcastic apathy, a tremulous fear of virtually everything. i have been afraid for me and for writing and for walking alone to anywhere further than a block away from where i started. i have hopped from puddle to puddle, moment to moment, like a bird, almost always conscious of brick walls and almost always crashing into glass windows. and for a while, after enough battering, i had simply flown over and above and away from everything. all the little pieces of every day can only half-compose this mosaic i've been plugging away at for twenty years. it needs grout, and i think i have found a bit of that, a bit of good, solid grounding material to make everything cohesive. worthwhile. lasting. i am happy again. and i am grateful. and i am less afraid. these things are what matter. about some things, i am not mistaken. i may have lost the jacket again after all, but i will not lose the doll. i will not lose the point. at least i'll try not to. so. after this sprawling around i get to the point. the one we should never lose. but do. thank you to those who have helped me remember. and thank you to the one who made it worthwhile again. xxx lou _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

We're eating tuna pasta bake and spending some quality time together (if you get my drift). Nah, not really. It was omelettes. If I didn't mention it before, I work at Hartlepool Council some of the time, doing something similar to whoever it is works at the Scottish Parliament (sorry - can't remember who). Anyway, I worked the election last night and we now have a monkey for a mayor. For those of you outside of the UK, the mascot of the local football team stood for mayor for a laugh on a manifesto promise of free bananas for every school child. Anyway. He won. Now, you could take this one of two ways. either say "ho ho ho, that'll teach Blair and all his cronies - the half-baked twats that they are", or you could bemoan the state of democracy and the corruption, apathy and failure to deliver anything of any merit in local politics. I'm still not sure which to do, so could someone please tell me what to think. Going away for the weekend tomorrow, if I can somehow get across the country. The trains are on strike but I don't really mind - good luck to them, gotta stand up to those gits. I'll find some way of getting there. Have a good weekend to everyone who's bothered to read this. I recommend alcohol, cigarettes, class A drugs, dodgy sexual encounters and kebabs (veggie burgers for the conscientious among us). I'm off to watch 15 to 1. Is it just me who loves that programme? (yes i know I'm a saddo) Loads of Love and snogs to all the girls and sturdy, firm handshakes to the blokies. waves to all the babies and small animals (shrews, voles, earthworms, etc.), punches in the face to all those dicks who voted BNP in Burnley. Look forward to your posts after the weekend. Dean XXX (ps I'm obviously not advocating class A drugs before I get told off - they'll all make your pelvis turn into gin. And you wouldn't want that kids) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

My name is Vince, and I live in Dallas; I'm friends w/ fellow listee, Melmoz - one of the coolest chicks I've ever met. We, of course, attended the Austin gig, where we witnessed an amazing show and met Alyson Snowball, a really cool girl, who hooked us up w/ a place to stay. Thanks again, Alyson, I hope you like the CDs. Anyway, other short notes about me...I'm 29, origninally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, I work in the Telecommunications industry, and I've listened to B&S for a little over a year. I really dig this list in that you get to peak @ other people lives, scattered thoughout the world, also in the knowledge of music that is shared. I've picked up at least a dozen CDs, recommended from this list and I'm sure much more $$$ will be spent in the months to come. Well I don't have much more to say, right this moment, but I thought I would end this mail w/ a CD suggestion; it's a local Dallas band, called "Polyphonic Spree". Very good stuff, if you're partial to Badly Drawn Boy. I believe most on-line music stores will have it.

Now when the summer arrives you lot are gonna see all these great bands but we here in Iceland are gonne see maybe two or three good bands. Live is not fair. The only thing that would lessen my grief and sorrow is that Belle & Sebastian would see themselves fit to visit my island. They are downright underground here and the word indie doesnt even fit. But people in the meanstream, the people that wear Buffalo shoes, dies their hair white and listen to IBIZA Mix 2001 and think they are cool know songs like Legal Man and Boy with the arab strap. We, the few people that listen to the band and have traveled abroad with the expenses that follow just too see our best band would so much like to see B&S here in Iceland. And I think a few of you would like to visit Iceland and make a trip out of it! I would organize something!

'WHAT?' 'i've got a message, its from --- who's that shouting?' 'its noone. nobody. ignore it' 'it sounds like somebody is calling for help' 'its the woman upstairs. she's a big beatles fan. what do you want?' 'i brought you this. its a merkin' the man hands over a battered cardboard box. a merkin? the word sounds familiar. i look down at the object in my hands, and when i look up the man is gone. inside the box is a mass of brown fibres, stitched together at the back - like some sort of wig. there is a note attached: 'set the lady free, or i'm calling the police ps. thanks for sending the boys round. i enjoyed them immensely a.p.' for a moment i wonder what my aunty penelope could be playing at. she doesn't hang out with men in tu-tus, not since she joined the mafia. then, a more sinister explanation strikes. a.p? could it be?..... could it possibly be? there's a return address on the box. 'a house in brighton that is not archel playforth's. somewhere in brighton, far away from where archel playforth lives' clever, but not clever enough. not this time. she forgets i am an International Man Of Genius. she must have got away from those white-slave-traders i sold her to. i wonder who the boys she refers to might be as i phone my friend mavis, the hit-man. 'worrafuckdyawant?' my friend is not impressed to be called at such an early hour. perhaps he has been out all night, doing strange Exotic Organised Crime type-things. 'mavis? its ian. i wonder if you can do me a favour...?' when you name a boy-child mavis, you have to expect some sort of adverse reaction. the boy is going to spend every day of his Growing Period suffering. intensely. you're either going to produce a nervous wreck, or an out-and-out psychopath. mavis's mother wanted an out-and-out psychopath. she'd got bored of the women's institute, and wanted a child who would be able to get her some hard drugs. i met mavis in a gutter. he was trying to steal my wallet, and i was trying to stand up straight. several hours later, he was leaning back, smoking a cigarette, and saying i'd introduced him to a whole new world.... to this day, he's the only b&s loving hitman i know. what? what did you think i meant? anyway, i promise mavis i'll give him all my special b&s memorabilia if he'll just go down to brighton and remove an.....unwanted......nuisance. i don't have any special b&s memorabilia, but i'm sure i can find some. i mean, its easy to get hold of, innit? i can imagine him now, chatting amiably to some little old lady on a silverlink train, fingering his machete and humming 'electronic renaissance' to himself. he's not to finish off the Scurrilous Southern Get that is archel playforth. he's merely to hurt her a little. scare her. scare her into silence :- about her superiority, about my shortcomings, and about the nun in my laundry cupboard. why do i have a nun in my laundry cupboard? i don't know. i just woke up and there she was one day. i went to let her out, but she screamed about calling the police, so i had to bash her with my 'scooby doo' bubble bath bottle and throw her back in. since then, i've thought about chopping her up and feeding her bit by bit down the plughole, but i've just painted the bathroom tiles and don't want to spoil them. all this by 11 a.m. after the first bottle of vodka, i put on some lighter music. planning a knife attack seems so much more socially friendly to the sound of saint etienne. -------------------------------------------------------------- 'the 'state that i am in' stakes' when my sister was small, she woke up crying one morning. she told us she had had a bad dream. when we asked her what it was about, she told us there were horses, and they were dancing. quite why this frightened her is a mystery to this day. i have a waking dream, separate from the waking dream we all inhabit. i am lying, on my back, licking the dust from my lips, and savouring its bitter crunch. swallowing the dirt, and craving more. above me, there is blue sky, stretching to the mountains in the east and the cloud-bank in the west, where it dies. the sun scorches my face, but i don't care. i am watching the chestnut legs stride slowly and gracefully past, staring up as the beasts above me walk either side (they won't step on a human unless they have a policeman on their back), and are gone, to a place i can only imagine. all that remains is what always remains - the sky and the memory, reminding us all how small we are, and how tiny and defenceless a human can be. horses. freud thought they symbolised the untamed side of the human. a potentially rampant sexuality kept in check by our superego, just waiting for the moment when it could be free. dreams of horses had only one meaning - and there was a reason middle class, respectable ladies were so troubled by them. to others, they symbolise freedom, escape, travel. to some, the white horse is an embodiment of the devil. others fear black beasts, racing from an unseen source, impervious to any command but those of their skeletal riders. to some, they're just animals. friends. workers, or money-spinners. john jennett suggested we buy one, train it to race. some would howl in protest at the very thought but i can only imagine the majesty of 'the state that i am in' as it glided over the green, decked in terry-towelling and valourous in velour, galloping past the stunned spectators, and striking some sort of blow for a kinder, freer world. of course, it would only be a metaphor, and, like most metaphors would be able to go free once it had rammed the point home. would we dream of this beast? perhaps. perhaps we already do. go free, little metaphor. i fear i may have used you badly. see you sunday? i'll be the one in the fishnet tights xx ian +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

"YES, band, it is required and quite a great old fad for scottish bands to wear a WOLFSHIRT while gigging in chicago...really! it's a bit of a ritual!" 28 year old women are reduced to teenage antics and frustrations over their favorite pop stars... i fucking love this band. (i didn't use "effing" this time, you'll notice) HEY WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE RACHELS MIX TAPE? *ahem* friday night. work week is FINALLY over. now that i'm calm, all of the calamity in my head that's been driving me nutty all week has been put to rest. all week i've been sleepless and all too mindful of the things i've been putting on the backburner. not putting them into motion... i decided it's these damn b&s shows. i pretty much can't get anything done until they are over. so, this week is about gluttony, please join me :) THE WOLFSHIRT GRRRRLs it's all very easy to explain. maybe. i don't know about the rest of the world... but in many regions of the u s of a there are certain people you will see now and then... wearing these things. t-shirts emblazoned with scenes of wolves and dream catchers and feathers... wolves in the snow... wolves on hilltops calling for their fellow wolves...wolves nuzzled together in a pack sleeping... wolves licking eachother...wolves eyeing you down with some form of evil rip-your-heart-out peacefulness... and as miss mandee has proclaimed, she wants to bring the rest of the world up to par with this grand fashion statement. for further consultation, please visit: http://disc.server.com/Indices/183404.html :) thanks to pigtails for bringing the silly-nilly questionaire back to life. ok, it had been awhile so i was craving a posting. now that that's out of the system i can go take a nap before i go walk for the march of dimes. i'm a glutton for punishment. on little sleep. if richard follows you, don't look back, like cottyns' silly punning... love, amy p.s. TICKET WANTED CONTENT that girl i quoted up above there... she is my friend, as i said, and she is attending the detroit show wiff me. if anyone happens upon an extra chicago ticket (yeah right, i know), please think of us so that my week of gluttony can evolve into all i could hope for it to be. thanks. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

As the lights went green (in more sense than one?) the car accelerated to some speed, and out of the corner of my eye I saw that one fly is still attached to the window! The other fly had lost grip but was hanging on through its arse.. it was quite amusing, and I'd like to think that I helped the two flies achieve the orgasms of their lives, like in the movie "crash" where all these perverts get off by shagging and having high speed collisions at the same time. Speaking of flies, I'm going to be flyING in an hour's time.. Heathrow Airport is boring and that's why I'm writing you all a sinister e-mail, despite NOT HAVING A TICKET TO SELL. Although this departure lounge does have a Virtual Tennis 2 machine, where I can play tennis as Jelena Dokic, who is nice. In fact I am going to go and have another game now!

I woke up in a bad mood, a really selfish angry mood. I've been feeling quite moody for a week.Initially, it was PMT. I hate PMT. it sort of creeps up on me. I should expect it, but I don't. its a relief when I realise what it is, and that I'm not loosing my mind, I'm just undergoing hormone wars. But I've been feeling a bit odd for the past few days. I'd scream, just to ven it, just to feel better again, but people would ask questions. I need to find a place I can scream and rage in peace and quiet and not raise eyebrows. In my first year at university, I used to lock the door to my bedroom, and trash it. Properly trash it, throw furniture that waasn't secured around the room, tip my bed over. It was a very satisfying method of relieving tension and aggression and just getting it out of my system. Until one day, my flatmates went and called the resident tutor and security, and they opened the door to my room with a key and saw how trashed my room was. Its better than bottling it up. Problem with living near other people, or living in towns and cities is that there are very few places you can just go and thrash out your feelings in such a wild way, without worrying people. I've learnt that long walks tend to pull out my feelings and release the tension. I've got a driving lesson later today, so I'll have to calm down for that. The ticket posts are boring me to death right now. List auntie asked you to stop, or post something more than just a few lines long. You ignored her. The ticket sellers/ buyers are probably in the minority, but posting the most. This is my personal feelings about it. I understand you're probably anxious to see Belle And Sebastian, or keen to get rid of spare tickets for whatever reason. But as far as I'm concerned, this tour has lasted a while now, and the important bit- when I got to see them- is long over. The rest doesn't matter to me. I like reading the gig reviews or picnic reports, its interesting, and everyone can appreciate it. But the ticket thing has so very little to do with me, and possibly little to do with most people. You're clogging up my inbox, and I reckon that there will be a vast majority of people on the list who won't be bothering to read their digests or whatever because they'll be expecting more of the ticket buying/selling posts that really don't interest them. It'll probably be at a peak of ignoring the posts, and people getting bored. So please stop boring me, I don't give a sh*t about tickets. The problem is, that Belle And Sebastian are going to be playing at festivals this summer as well, so I'm anticipating that peoples anxiety over getting tickets to see their favourite band will continue right through until August. Maybe I'm alone on this one, but I don't want this to continue until belle and sebastian stop for a bit. I'm glad they're touring. I'm glad people are getting a chance to see them. This is the second tour in under a year, and they seem to be playing at venues and countres they couldn't fit in previously to their last schedule. Its good, its all very very good. Its a very positive pro-active step to keeping the fans interested, and to keeping things ticking along, and giving something back. But its the ticket selling/buying posts that are quite frankly, doing my f*cking head in. Please have a little bit of consideration to the rest of us. You're distracting people from reading the interesting posts. I don't mind if you've got stuff to say- like Amy Longcores last post. But its the ones with on or two lines that are a total waste of time. Other news: The Guardian got a mention yesterday about having a stuart Murdoch thing in it. Can I also say, that S2 of the Scotsman did a review yesterday of Belle And Sebastian also. you might want to see their website http://www.scotsman.com to find it. I met up with pigtails yesterday after work. We went to a well known coffee shop on the High Street. And we sat there, drinking coffee and eating cake. And then this man was sitting in a corner, this raggedy old man. And he came over to me, an gave me a pciture e'd done of me while I'd been sitting there at the table. It wasn't very good, no where as near as good as my sillustration. But he asked for some money towards a coffee in exchange for it. And then he was looking at the front of a magazine I had- some girlie mag, with a model on the front of it in a bikini, and asked who she was. And I said I didn't know. And I said she was just a model. And he asked if I wanted to be a model. So I said no. He asked a lot of questions, about where I lived and if I was a student. I was feeling quite tired, from a day at work, and my feet ached from my new shoes rubbing, which have left a blister on each of my little toes. And I gave him the money and he left us alone again. I've just realised that the bottle of coke I bught from the little international paper shop on the high street is actually German. right, I'm going to go and beat up my pillow now.

Message-ID: My fellow listees, I have the urge to share this with you because I feel you will understand me. I have tickets for The Hives' London show and I can't go. Also I can't give them to anyone because I realised that I couldn't go last night and even though I know people who'd like to go a)as I said I can't get to London from Birmingham and b) no friend of mine from Birmingham would go to see them in London. The irony is that they were playing here yesterday. So here I am stuck in Brumm with a pair of tix to see the wonderful Hives supported by the wonderful Dirtbombs and all I'm going to do is act as a good Greek girl and join my friends to church tonight for the Orthodox Easter. I haven't been in church for Easter for 5 years now 'cos I don't believe but my friends told me that it would be great fun to do this while in another country . Plus it's a great excuse for partying.So yeah..WHAT FUN! On the bright side, Mr. Scruff will be in Birmingham on the 2nd of June in the Medicine bar so I thought I'd share this. When in London last I went to a gig of his in this really nice club in Brick Lane called 93 Feet East. It was kind of cool. I think I'm boring you today. Oh, hey this morning I was watching the repeat of The Sky at Night with that astronomer Sir Patrick Moore and he has been presenting this show for 45 years! He was showing clips from all of his shows and one of them was from 1958 and he was so young but he spoke exactly the same way as now which is kind of freaky. At a point he was discussing with another scientist the possibility of extra-terrestrial life and they were talking about it in a very scientific but comprehendible way and then the camera moves outside the house they are and two metal "aliens" appear speaking all weirdly and saying how the found earth life not so important and that they'd rather go now. I'm not very good at describing it, I'm sure but I think it's very funny. OK. I'll go now because I think I am being extremely boring. Have a nice bank holiday. If you are going to the Hives' show I HATE YOU.

By Me. Sorry, Still gloating over that one. So Coachella and B&S. So Short of a set. So Sad. My third B&S show. I felt like most of the people there didn't even have a clue. They were playing The Wrong Girl when it occurred to me that most of the heads were barely bopping and I said fuck it, I didn't drive eight hours and pay 140 dollars to be disappointed. So I Crammed myself in front of ten people who were completely pissed that I was pushing them aside. After a coupla minutes of bad mojo shot at the back of my head I settled back into the sounds of my obsession just five people back in dead center. Ahhh. I then got to ask about the whereabouts of Isobel. And Stuart replied that she sadly couldn't join them, but would be in Philly. He likes it when I ask him questions about the band, we've got this thing, me and him. Her replacement cellist was a little sad/sickly/fraily looking. The concert, I thought wasn't the best. Stuart's mic was going in and out and the band felt so incomplete. It was great to hear him improvise on the lyrics about the foo fighters and most excellent to hear the freestylin/beboppin one-minute song they played. The setting was beautiful and the band is beautiful. They set off the smoke alarm. It's funny that after I see them I go back to all my records and play them one by one over and over while following along with the lyrics. Cannot get enough. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <4E9B343E.43F45C50.009D4C37@aol.com> I attended my first belle and sebastian show last night at philly. and was i disappointed. Are the indie scenester kids to fucking hip to dance? i thought i was gonna DIE! i cannot just sit there and bob my head to belle and sebastian! MY GOSH! i wanted to smash their heads in;). well anyway, the philly show was awesome. we had row q seats all the way in the back, and i was just like FUCK IT, and ran up and ended up in the 3rd or 4th row in the aisle dancing. and i dont know how we did it cause the ushers werent letting any kids from the back up front. im evil, i know it. then being yelled at by a bunch of people who were SITTING, and complaining how they paid to see the show and cant see the band. FUCK YOU! get up and ENJOY THE show. its the fucking music for christs sake. and if brian reads this. youre gonna kick your ass, Stuart ran out in the audience lots of times. and he sat in a seat, and i dont know if you sold your tix or not, but you said you had 8th ro! w center and stu defintely went out and threw his towel about there. you SOOO shouldve gone. well anyway, i thought the show was awesome. getting there and back was suicide. being stuck in the car with the most trendiest elitist emo fucktwats for about 7 hours. yea, but it was worth it, and i see em tommorow. and its general admission, and no ones gonna tell me to sit down, or ill break their nerd glasses. i think i just might wear normal looking gap clothing, cause i just *MIGHT* stand out. pff...

A short and informative message for everyone who will be in Chicago next weekend for the show. Following through with my threats, I have gone ahead and planned a meet-up for your pre-gig pleasure. Where do we meet? Belmont Harbor Marina. There is parking a-plenty, and it's within walking distance from the Belmont Red Line. We can meet in the grassy area just to the east of the parking lot, and then traipse about to find a premium location for eating snacks and playing footie and croquet. When? Let's meet at 2pm. That way, we can be total geeks and go to the venue earlyish so we can get rockstar seating (or standing). What do I bring? Your fab selves, something foody and/or drinky to share, a soccer ball if you're thusly inclined. I will provide the croquet! But what if it rains? In that case, go instead to Pick Me Up Cafe at 3408 N. Clark St. (north of belmont, south of addison) That is all, I think. If you have any questions, pleaseplease email me, especially if you're coming from out of town and need additional directions. luv, jennpb _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I know Belle and Sebastian only play on the vernal equinox when the planets are aligned and the moon is near my 7th spouse but it's sort of getting a bit ridiculous. I don't mean to whine or anything but i sort of missy the misty-eyed-melancholy and salacious puns that used to dominate my mail box. Now it seems as though I'm The Sinister Underground Type Black Market For Belle And Sebastian Tickets: A Non Profit Organization Dedicated to Citing the Disappearance Of Isobel, the World's Coolest Cello Player Inc. or TSUTBMFBSTANPODTCTDOITWCCP Inc. for short. So i know this ticket thing is one fo the more pressing issues at the time but I dunno. Hopefully things will slow down once the shows are over.

I first would like to say thank you to everyone who's been so amasingly responsive during my recent tragedy. It''s been really wonderful, and I had no idea that people I've ever met could be so considerate. Thanks a lot. I really mean it. I'm feeling better, I think, great, actually, cos B&S go on in an hour and a half, and the sinister picnic was lovely. There were gin and tonics, and finger sandwiches. So strange to see sinisterians in person. Nice, though. New York is tomorrow, so that should be lovely. Any New Yorkers who could sport me a floor for tomorrow night, and my friend Cassie as well, that would be great, but this might be too late. Maybe the YMCA? Anyway, I am plum excited, cos school ends wednesday, and then it's back to austin, where I hope to learn to play the cello, and then off to Glasgow in October. Anybody want to live with me? I'm fearing another year of dorm life. I shall report back after the show, but this is just mainly to thank all of the lovely people who have been so good to me.

Be annoyed... be very annoyed... Message-ID: <004d01c1f3bd$89d216a0$a2c001d5@oemcomputer> What I Did On My Holidays by Jason Andreas, class 2b. I stayed in the Metropolitan Hotel on 51st and Lexington. I wandered casually into Harlem, only realising where I was when I saw someone pull an uzi on someone else. Then I left rather rapidly. Went to WWF New York to watch RAW, Backlash and RAW again. Sat next to a man wearing a chicken suit while I was wearing my kilt. People were asking if we were some sort of double-act... Was not allowed inside the UN Building when I kept setting off the metal detector, even though they couldn't figure out why. I went in the next day though. Hung around in Toys R Us in Times Square, and had a lightsabre duel with one of the staff. I won, of course ;) Got my picture taken by a couple of rather stunning Japanese girls. They giggled a lot. Hee hee, etc. Had to put on a pseudo-American accent to deal with some of the cab drivers. Bumped into Steven Tyler outside the MTV studios. Got screamed at by lots of girls because they assumed I was someone connected with the band because I'd managed to aimlessly wander behind the security barrier. Met Frank Langella, who once played Dracula. My mum was seeing him in a Broadway show. We (Me, my mum, my sister, 3 of my mum's friends and Frank) went to an Italian restaurant, but thankfully Frank didn't stay long. Was asked if I wanted "some company" by a prostitute. I told her "No, I'm looking for sex, actually..." and walked on. Called an engineer after my mum managed to flood the hotel toilet somehow. D'oh! Went shopping in Bloomingdales, Macys, Saks and Madison Square Garden. Navigated the NY Subway system after a few false starts. Didn't get mugged. Went to Ground Zero. Was disgusted by the amount of "I saw Ground Zero" t-shirts on sale in little stalls. Even more disgusted by the loonies posing in front of it with big grins on their faces. Eedjits. I left a bracelet. Went to the Smithsonian institute and bought a book on Native American mythology. Nice :) The museum itself was pretty crappy though, it was more "Look at how the white men tamed the savages!" than any celebration of their actual culture. Bought 13 CDs, a Yankees top, a Spiderman top, a Transformers top, a Jets jersey, a WWF top, my Hard Rock Cafe leather jacket ($300 after tax!) and a What? t-shirt. Maxed out my credit card buying gifts for various friends. Expensive buggers. Watched the Celtic v Rangers game in the Manhattan Celtic Supporters Club. Thanks to Jen Brownlie for supplying me the address of them. Went to see the Scorpion King. Wandered Central Park. Didn't get mugged. Visited the zoo there, which was cool. Still didn't get mugged. Went to see the Super Furry Animals in concert at the Irving Plaza. Rawk! Had a woman flash a boob at me to display a tattoo she had... Helped a lost damsel in distress. Didn't try to pull her either, so don't look at me like that! Went to a jazz club. Grrreat. Bought a Belle & Sebastian album for a girl I... well, y'know. Drank about 30 litres of Root Beer. Ate my first pretzel (the big dough ones, not the crappy wee twiglet-like things). Visited Madame Tussauds. Took about 20 pictures in total, almost all of which were of things in Madame Tussauds. Came home. Got jetlagged. Continued to be jetlagged. Annoyed you with this e-mail... - Jase +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Those of you going to the Detroit show who want to engage in pre-show frolicking, you are hereby invited: Meet on the steps of the Art Museum (http://www.umich.edu/~umma -- 525 South State Street) at noon on Friday, May 10th. [Rain Location: Amer's Deli (312 South State) -- which is actually like a cafe and is pretty big.] >From the museum we can move on the park-like area right next to the museum which is also not that hard to find for the late-comers, especially if we've already assembled a mass of Sinisterines. The Museum is on the corner of State Street and South University. If everyone could make something or buy something (like chips or pretzels) to share, that'd be nice. I personally don't have a portable radio, so if someone could bring that, that would be nice. (Of course, if you're driving to Detroit later, you'll want to stash that in your trunk, out of site, when you get to the show ;)) Some of you may be in to playing soccer and whatnot. I am lazy, so I will not partake in such games, although I will cheerlead. There are also arcades and stuff nearby for you DDR Freaks. My hope is that the picnic will act as a home base, and if people want to step away for record shopping or whatever, that'd be cool, and then they could re-convene. If doors are at 7:30 (right?), we should leave around... what? 4:30? That'd get us to Detroit around 5:15 or so. I don't know how early people will line up. But we can figure this out when we all meet up, I guess. I can't wait!

Message-ID: Hi Probably blatant list abuse but I am in need, so forgive me. After a long period off the list and an equally long period of lurking about I find myself in a predicament I don't know how to handle. After four years together my girlfriend has ended our relationship. To those of you guiding your pointer to delete with some gusto, I fully understand. To those of you who make it through my brief and embarrassing whine and can offer any words of encouragement, I thank you wholeheartedly. Please understand I have even resorted to emailing the Samaritans. Unfortunately, calling them would be at odds with my shyness. Besides my ability to vocalize these things in person to a stranger, whilst slowly deter orating into some kind of inconsolable and sobbing thing, would not be a pleasing site in anyone's book. I'll try and wind things up quickly now. The thing that concerns me more than anything is how to switch off how I feel about someone who I thought was for good and who no longer feels the same way. How the fuck does that work? As a person who has always been too easily influenced by what she absorbs from books and film, a closet Kate Bush fan and as someone whose new favorite film is Amelie, I should have seen it coming. Whilst she has done a good job of convincing me she doesn't seem to have done as good a job on herself. Her whole new "I'm 29* now, babies, things I want to do, free spirit etc etc" (I honestly don't mean to sound belittling. * I'm 27) attitude all seems a bit forced, contrived and at odds with itself. She has and always will be very stubborn and this whole thing seems like a textbook case of cutting your nose off to spite your face. Then again this could just be a big fat denial induced supposition on my part? The second thing that I am struggling with (and it's still a biggie) is simply the fact that she was my best friend. Of my circle of friends I have only one who would even consider going to the same kind of gigs or places, who would tolerate the same kind of music and film and who has any interest in the arts. Who do I do these things with now? Doing them alone doesn't hold great appeal. I'll also miss being a part of her glass design business, which is beginning to take off, I enjoyed helping. The place I live, near Preston (Lancashire), England isn't exactly awash with masses of like-minded people. Bugger. Right, I'll start winding this thing up now; if you're still with me then I sincerely appreciate it. In a truly responsible fashion, I have been on a weeklong experimentation with alcohol tolerance. My conclusion is undecided. I can't establish whether I am having some kind of dickie fit/break down type thing or permanently hung over. Whilst such behavior cannot go on indefinitely, it keeps me going until my doctor's appointment on Wednesday. Like I say, to those of you are still here without having suffered some kind of wince induced facial injury, thanks again. Whilst this has been a pretty healthy and cathartic exercise (sorry if that appears selfish), all I am hankering after are a few words of encouragement and advice. Before responses of "Get a grip", "Life's a shitter" etc etc flood in, then please don't bother, I've heard them all from some of my caring friends. Hope to hear something back.

It is called THE WINCHESTER CLUB! I hear from my sources that it will feature not one but TWO SMASHING bands, they being California Snow Story (featuring David Skirving formerly of Camera Obscura) and Pipas (featuring lazy shamblers). As if that wasn't ENOUGH, afterwards there will be a SUPERFINE mix of records being played for your dancing pleasure by the (it says here) excellent Winchester deejays. It seems to start at 8.45, and goes on until 2am. The bands will be on from 10-11.30 or thereabouts. I'll be getting there early to catch them, I suggest you do the same. It'll be cheaper than the pub anyway cos bottles of Carslberg are only a quid! AND to see these two fine bands AND have dancing fun will cost you a MERE 4 of your pounds. It's all quite exciting. Well, I'm wetting myself anyway. For any information you require, just mail thewinchesterclub at hotmail.com. Very much hope so see a few of you there. Over and out.

Not one day after I sent my whining email about kids selling tickets on sinister does one of my "friends" (if that moniker still applies) who has vowed to go with me to Belle and Sebastian in NYC fpr the past two months does he retract his vow the night before said concert! This is karma is action i am convinced. I had to do the lowest of the low. Post flyers in my dormitory elevator for the extra ticket *shudders Poe-esque-ily* Anyways let this be a warning unless you have your friends on that invisible dog fence electoshock program or they are teathered to you via some reality tv hijinks don't bet on anyone keeping their concert promise and always have a back up or 3.

(or something to that effect) -Lambchop toodles, joey ps: i have to say though, the show really made me hate boston audiences. all you could hear was people yelling for the people dancing to sit down. it's like we were just sitting there with our arms crossed demanding to be entertained but refusing to even clap. i think that, towards the end, more and more people got that right feeling and couldn't fight the urge to stop bitching and dance; but overall, i don't think we earned more than that one song encore. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Last night was amazing. Apologies to those of you who are tired of all the gig reports. You can either just hit delete, an easy split second of your time, or you can read anyway and remember how excited you were after the last time you saw them. First things first.... THE SET LIST Fuck This Shit Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie Dirty Dream #2 The Magic of a Kind Word Waking Up to Us Seeing Other People Wandering Along Don't Leave the Light on Baby The Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner The Model Simple Things The Boy with the Arab Strap We Rule the School Family Tree Like Dylan in the Movies Women's Realm The Wrong Girl Lazy Line Painter Jane Legal Man and finally, the encore was 'Freak Scene' by Dinosaur Jr. One of my favorite songs by them, and b&s rocked out and pulled it off quite well. I brought my little mini bar filled with enough gin and tonics for five people because I was sure no more than that would show up to the pre show picnic. I was pleasantly surprised to find about 3 times that many, (sorry for the water-downed drinks guys). It was so nice to meet some listees and here their stories. I was quite nervous and probably giggled more than I should have because of it. You all were just delicious though and I was happy to find other people behaving a bit like a 14yr old girl going to an N'Sync show. On a side (somewhat nostalgic) note, I haven't felt this way about a show in a long time and was beginning to wonder if I lost that enthusiasm permanently. Anyway, it felt good and I hope to hold on to this feeling as long as I can. Okay, end of my sentimental rantings. Sorry, I've been out of sorts today. Before the show, Stuart and Mick were quite sweet and stopped to talk to everyone outside. They listened to all the nervous quivers of fans and posed for pictures. Very gentleman-like I must say. Then there was the concert. It was very similar to the rapport of the past few shows. Stuart had a great rapore with the audience and even danced about all frontman like. Our venue had assigned seats and most people were sitting, despite pleas from Stuart for us to dance. Of course I made a complete dork of myself when I could no longer sit and leapt off my chair to dance. Kevin, I saw you the whole show and knew I was in great company. You're fantastic! To all you guys going to more shows, just dance damn it! You'll have more fun, the band will have more fun. Its good for the soul, good for everyone. Yes, Isobel was there. I know there have been complaints about her look of boredom and discontent. I'm taking a deferent approach though... she just strikes me as being shy and uncomfortable, and I find that endearing. I was just glad to see that she was there. Then, there was the after show bit. We sort of had a feeling that Chris was going to dj at a local bar. We did some more drinking at the Irish pub down the street and ran into Mick again. He confirmed that Chris was dj'ing where we thought he would be and so we piled into our cars and headed over there. I'll make it short because this post is already much longer than I wanted it to be. It was a great time. Stuart danced and danced. We all did. He was once again in great spirits and so willing to talk to all of us that approached him. I'm still a bit dreamy about the whole thing. So that's that. I want to especially thank Stacey for putting up with all my giddiness! I wish you all a good night and sweet dreams. Marisa p.s. I forget who posted this today about having to wear Gap clothes to be different but I completely agree! It was like having a room full of Romulan clones. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I'll start by saying that the show was AMAZING. The Aisler Set was great, and there was not one "ehh" song in B&S' whole set. Stayin' alive was fantastic. I didn't think stuart would talk to the audience as much as he did. It made me feel very much a part of what was going on. Isobelle seemed pretty disinterested most of the time, though I wondered what she and Bobby were doing when they kept going off stage. They might have been getting their snog on. I tried to stay after for a setlist or whatever the little balls of paper were, but the guard told me to, "keep it movin' along." Not that it ruined the night at all, but for 99% of the show I was dreadfully uncomfortable. The person standing behind me apparently thought me to be good dry-humping material, and the woman next to me decided that I was good a good leaning post. I should have said to her, "Hey if we're going to be this close, we should probably get aquainted" That would have scared her off for sure. I also want to thank all the picnic goers that welcomed me in and took me under their wing. You were all so pleasant that it made what was for me a very uncomfortable situation much easier. I apologize for being somewhat quiet and shy at first, I just needed some warm-up time.I hope I was amicable enough. I'd like to become a picnic regular. Well, I must be up in three hours. Take care all. -Derek __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

By Me. Sorry, Still gloating over that one. So Coachella and B&S. So Short of a set. So Sad. My third B&S show. I felt like most of the people there didn't even have a clue. They were playing The Wrong Girl when it occurred to me that most of the heads were barely bopping and I said f it, I didn't drive eight hours and pay 140 dollars to be disappointed. So I Crammed myself in front of ten people who were completely pissed that I was pushing them aside. After a coupla minutes of bad mojo shot at the back of my head I settled back into the sounds of my obsession just five people back in dead center. Ahhh. I then got to ask about the whereabouts of Isobel. And Stuart replied that she sadly couldn't join them, but would be in Philly. He likes it when I ask him questions about the band, we've got this thing, me and him. Her replacement cellist was a little sad/sickly/fraily looking. The concert, I thought wasn't the best. Stuart's mic was going in and out and the band felt so incomplete. It was great to hear him improvise on the lyrics about the foo fighters and most excellent to hear the freestylin/beboppin one-minute song they played. The setting was beautiful and the band is beautiful. They set off the smoke alarm. It's funny that after I see them I go back to all my records and play them one by one over and over while following along with the lyrics. Cannot get enough. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Sunday night. Just a few things: 1. It was probably the only time I will ever get to see the Band. It was my first time. I'm leaving NYC at the end of the month, going to India, and then settling in Halifax (Halifax Katrina- I want to be your friend. Please email me). 2. One song, two songs, three songs, four songs into the show a couple (who crawled in at about 8:55 pm and sat on the stairs next to me on Mezz. 2 in the first row up there- where I had been seated since 7 pm) were still talking. Talking over the music... not listening to anything but the flutter of one another's eyelashes and their (seemingly) crucial dialogue. After asking them to please be quiet, they acted like scolded school children. "Awwwwww, I didn't know we were ruining your enjoyment of the show", the black-rimmed school boy sarcastically whined. There was tremendous tension between me and the couple from that point on. They spent too much time on the matter, loudly responding to Stuart's comment about the crowd being well-behaved with a not-funny, "Except for a few of us!" 3. I hated these two people. No one wants to hate when they are at a B & S show. However, though they talked through the whole show, the minimized the volume to a whisper. Greatly appreciated. The tension was still there but at least they were quieter. 4. Sadly, I let the noisy couple get to me. And therefore, I should have enjoyed the show more. 5. I know others have commented on their secret requests being fulfilled at the show. All I wanted to hear was �Get me away from here, I�m dying�. It could not have been more fitting for that to be the last song. I hope to see the Band again one day. Thanks to those who posted the set list. -zvoruna _____________________________________________ Free email with personality!

I would write about it but I'm still somewhere far off in La La land. All I can say is if you ever have an impulse, act on it! I went to work yesterday morning in Boston and just had the feeling I had go to the ny show. So, without a ticket or companion I hopped on a bus and left a note for my boss that said I needed to take care of something and I would be back the next morning. So I went. All I can say is that I should act impulsively more often. I'm back in Boston now at work, existing on LOTS of coffee and about an hours worth of sleep. I have the set list, if anyone is interested. Have fun tonight all you Montreal folks! Don't forget to dance. xo, Marisa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

SUNDAY. Message-ID: <0388F766.03666458.009D4C37@aol.com> Ive repeatedly tried to send out this email, but it would never send. I hate AOL 4.0 because its html-ed email, so i have tosend this from aol.com, so it just screws EVERYTHING up. bah! oh well here i do... What can i say about sunday. Hm... it was SO great! I got front row right in front of stevie about. And it was just SO funny. We were waiting for the longest time. so me and my friend played x-rated versions of "im going to the picnic". my friend wore cat ears and a sign that said "sex kitten". it was a riot. aislers set was good! the bassist laughed at my friend alot for his look. anyway, more waiting, and Eek. belle and sebastian appear. all of them were looking goergeous of course. i want isobel's bag and dress. she looked adroable, but a bit odd. At some points she looked like a robot manequin doll shaking that egg thingy. Stevie looked absolutely ADORABLE in that suit, and stu is hot as always. i have the setlist, but i dont feel like typing it up, as most of you probably know what they played. just a notable mention (does that make sense?), they covered Staying Alive. yea! nuts. i just kept shouting, YOU HAVE TO DANCE STU! You muST! and he did. *melts*. the crowd seems so demanding! e! esh! yelling out names of songs, and i only did it ONCE! (pocketbook angel). other than that i just kept yellign we love you! play anything. also later on, they played happy birthday for a friend of mine i had just met. damn! i wish i was her. belle and sebastian singing happy birthday for you! pff! and also, during the model, all five of us (three boys and two girls) flashed the band upon that line "the girl next door whos famous for showing her chest", but only one member saw us. oh well! i actually met a sinister poster person, he was handing out tigermilking flyers. its actually strange to think you people exist! yea, then i told him i was in high school, and he was amazed by it. i think id be the youngest poster on this list. and i barely even talk to any of you. well theres just too many people on the list anyway. ANYWAY! it was awesome, and i was crying last night to know that they were playing and i wasnt seeing them. well off i go. vicky +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I am fine and dandy on this fine weathered bank holiday which i should be using to my full advantage and studying but i think i shall wait until the afternoon until my self inflicted headache (more on that in a min) has subsidedl. Last night was the first of many (i hope) beach gatherings. All it took to organise was a couple of phone calls. Originally it was to be just a car party with just 5 of us going down but it ended up being about 20 of us sat on a beach not far from Kinsale on the south coast of Ireland with guitars and fire and beer and food. It was a great evening and the beach is incredible. It is a tiny little cove with the nicest sand underfoot. THere are rocks all over the place and a walk along moorland where you eventully reach a an old fort which has dungeons etc. Legend has it that there are tunnels leading down to below the water accross to the fort on the opposite headland which i think may have had some fact but i think the tunnels are now blocked over. THe area around the town has some incredible history seeing as it was the setting for the Battle of Kinsale in 1601 when the evil brits (no offence i am part one anyway) landed and tried to take control of the country (which they eventully did) But it is one of these places where you get the feeling that you are walking over history and i rarely get that. But i suppose when you know the history of the place it is different, for instance i probably wouldn't get the same feeling from concorde or any place in the states purely because i am pig ignorent when it comes to american history. THe only reason i got that vibe in Paris was at the Bastille was cos we were there with all the protesting against Le Pen which was weird for me anyway but persume the French are used to protesting. I always feel the same way whenever i get back from a trip-restless and annoyed at my puny and slightly unfulfilling life back home. But i am heading away after my exams to Italy for a while. France beckons at some point in the Summer to stay with my brother and in August a big blow out is planned for Barcelona with people converging from London and Madrid and Cork The gig in Austin sounded nice and atmospheric but i can't understand why people are bitching about the lovely Ms Cambell not being present. She isn't the band!!!!! Neither is Stuart or Stevie or Bob or Mick or Richard or Sarah. they all are collectivly ( i could understand if stuart was missing cos he is the vocalist) IF liking the band is based on aesthetics then you might as well listen to Nsync or backstreet boys or what ever. So what the pouting mistress wasn't there- was the music any different- i doubt it highly. Right rant over and my i say i am dead jealous of anyone who did actully get to see them Isobeless or not godspeed jonathan +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Just wondering if anyone else saw cat power in london last night? I only have you, whoever mentioned it only fleetingly on the list for my attendance and for the line "what do you do when you true love leaves, the hardest thing in the world is finding someone who believes in you" or thereabouts. what a beautiful song, and what a shambolic gig. she was shining and the few lyrics I heard reminded me of those first few listens to yon belle and sebastian , who's potential for afterthought is only rivalled by our lady cat. and loads of other singers I've never heard of and no doubt boy detail enthustiasts will be clicking their tongues in horror at my ignorance. just a note. she sang in the most amazing hall called "bush" whose insides look like a wedding cake inverted, everything is coated with fantastic cherbic details and there are not less than 7 chandeliers, or prrahps 5. thankyou. rx _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I am pretty sure that I bitched or at least reported in detail about her pouty-ness at the Rímini gig, and as one lister (sorry, tried to cite you, but ‘searchÂ’ is down) recently pointed out, she is not 'the band', but she is an integral part of it, and not unpleasant to look at besides, so I can understand why some people have felt shorted if her presence has been lacking at certain shows. (The half-price idea put forth by someone (sorry again, itÂ’s that ‘searchÂ’) is intriguing, but doomed to failure and ultimately unworkable and Just Not Right). LetÂ’s remember--IsobelÂ’s retiring nature has been, at least as reported anecdotally, an impediment to the bandÂ’s touring on a large scale, and now THEY ARE DOING IT ANYWAY. So if Isobel bows out now and then, due to discomfort/fatigue/shacking up with Dean/discomfort AND fatigue produced by shacking up with Dean, then just be thankful that the band are coming to a venue near/within a ridiculously long drive/flight from you, at all. And for those of you who would still complain about her lackadaisical delivery, go now and put on “WomenÂ’s Realm” and listen to this part of hers: “Just a minute, close your eyes, If we settle for this compromise ” Etc. Do it. Now. YouÂ’ll forgive her, whether you saw her and her great bloody cello or not. SheÂ’s not ‘the bandÂ’, any more than Stuart David was ‘the bandÂ’, but sheÂ’s important. Sure, her absence is a bite in the pants, but her presence doesnÂ’t make a gig any more than her absence breaks it. She is just not a ‘showpersonÂ’, while Stuart and Stevie and (maybe) a few others (and damn near all of us, apparently) are, and so if she needs to have a lie-down while you rave out to a closing “Legal Man” psychedelia, well, let her be her. ThatÂ’s all. Go put on “WomenÂ’s Realm” now. I wasnÂ’t kidding. And love the whole band, whether they all can make it or not. We love the musicians, we love the band as a whole. We just love it. Enjoy it while it lasts, ‘Bel or no ‘Bel. By the way, IÂ’ve got no tickets to sell. JDS Conectate a Internet GRATIS con Yahoo!

And People! - going to London the day after (may 9-june3) to see things and Le Tigre! (and People?) - going to Paris to see things and Le Tigre! (and People?) - going to grad school! (in the fall) (which i just found out about) questions from a canadian: - re: le tigre in paris on may 23 at le nouveau casino. should i buy tickets on-line or should i buy at the venue? and if on-line, where on-line? or if not, where in paris other than the venue? - re: le tigre in london on may 31 at mean fiddler. should i buy tickets through ticketweb and pick up at the venue? or can i buy them at a record store in london? - why is the london picnic the weekend before i get there? were you not reading my mind? maybe i can meet some of you at another time during my visit. i may even go to brighton and search for archel, list superstar (and buck 65 fan. but is she a princess superstar fan?) - French sinisterians, it would be fun to meet you, especially if you like le tigre, but it really doesn't matter if you don't. my french is "okay", but much better when i have had some wine. funny how that works. holy cow, well, i ask a lot. i hope everyone has/has had fun at the belle and sebastian concerts and everyone who gets to see aisler's set falls in love with them and buys their records. they are rad. i love them. they deserve love. and also, i think this list is still good. i have been on it for a few years now and it does change and flux, but that's okay. and it will change some more. but i know you know this. mostly, i have been inspired to think about new things and to make new and great friends and there's nothing bad about that. okay, so remember, fabulous prizes.* robyn (checking email throughout journey) *subject to subjectivity ===== I was reading the dictionary.

(wow!) the floor was still pretty empty, even after 7. (perhaps people didn't know when the doors were supposed to open, or perhaps, as the kid in front of us opined, they were too cool to show up until one hour after the show started.) we marveled at our prime positions. apologies to anyone who was standing beside us and bored by our conversation (which was dominated by the statement "this is so cool!" etc...). **it begins** in any case, the aislers set were soon on and played a short but sweet set...as jess said, "i love it when the opening act doesn't suck." the crowd wasn't super-enthusiastic (e.g. with the hand-claps), but got into it at times, like when amy grabbed a trumpet with one hand and a guitar with the other and proceeded to play! the band took pictures of the crowd and each other...it was adorable. our heroes were on soon after 9. the setlist was definitely a crowd-pleaser (see below). apologies if it is incorrect, since i was writing on my hand in the dark, while dancing. **setlist (which apparently differed drastically from the plan)** 1 sleep the clock around 2 there's too much love 3 magic of a kind word 4 i'm waking up to us 5 if you're feeling sinister 6 mayfly 7 consuela leaving 8 scooby driver (i think) 9 don't leave the lights on baby 10 the model 11 the loneliness of a middle-distance runner 12 stayin' alive 13 simple things 14 tbwtas 15 you made me forget my dreams (abortive; stuart kept trying!) 16 fox in the snow 17 family tree 18 dog on wheels 19 the state i am in 20 happy birthday to a large assortment of people 21 wrong girl 22 dirty dream #2 23 legal man encore: get me away from here, i'm dying **impressions** at first, i was a little afraid they weren't going to talk to the crowd at all...there was a lack of general banter for the first few songs. later, they were more jokey and talking directly to us. the audience itself was a little strange (and not just because of the inordinate number of ironic t-shirts and black-rimmed fake glasses). not strange in a bad way, but i expected more screaming and pushing and dancing. we were very "well-behaved," as stuart (or struan, or sturan, if you will) told us, especially for a group of several thousand. it was rather a young crowd--lots of college kids, but lots of high-schoolers as well. (i lamented the fact that b&s were barely around when i was in high school.) i loved the show. maybe it could've used a little more spark (with some help from the audience), but it was still great. isobel directed the full force of her pout at us (i agree--it seemed more shyness than a hissy-fit). to her credit, she was as interested in the shaky egg thing as one could expect. sarah and mick looked a bit "off" at times, too--i just wanted to grab them and start dancing. at least they had a sense of humor about it, as when bobby and isobel appeared twice during a song just to shake a tambourine and shaky egg thing, respectively. (is there an official name for the shaky egg thing?) i had no idea that stevie was so adorable! with his suit and glasses and funny little guitar-playing dances and arm motions. i fell in love, briefly. i mean, yes, stuart's arms, but stevie was very much the conductor. and funny. i'm glad he looked at ease with us. he also bore a striking resemblance to a young elvis costello, so i wondered if, as jenny said, they'd play 'oliver's army.' but no such luck. **memorable moments and the end** this email's rather long, so i'll leave detailed musical reviews to others. i must, however, agree that 'stayin' alive' was fab, esp. struan's falsetto (and his false start, which stevie laughingly corrected). audience volunteer amanda got onstage during dirty dream #2 and bounced about suitably. oh, and to the girls who lifted their shirts during the "showing her chest" bit in 'the model'--shame on you! :) (i was directly behind.) but the band didn't react. stuart claimed that todd solondz was in the audience (and would be interested in hearing the new stuff). verification, anyone? and we got an encore! i felt favored. we saw no signs of beans' post-gig dj stunt, alas, so that was it for the night. was there anything going on? stuart claimed the band was still recovering from the previous night, so i think you boston kids tired them out. :) i hope those of you who were there were equally wowed by the show. (i was on the lookout for upside-down b&s badges, but saw none. i'm the girl who was dancing up front with a bandanna in her hair and her arms in the air.) i thought it would be hard for the show to meet my obsessed-fan expectations, but it was without a doubt worth a plane ride from north carolina and missing two days of classes. as jess said this morning on the train to her job interview, "i should be nervous about the interview, but i just keep thinking about how great the show was. i'm going to have a smile on my face all week." "boo to the business world," i replied. one little hole in my heart is filled. love, aruni ps things i wanted to shout 1 play 'the state i am in' (after 'dog on wheels.' i didn't say it, but stuart started into it right then! i think it speaks to our profound psychic bond.) 2 freebird (but thought the crowd might be too young and hip to find it funny) 3 that song should've been 3 times as long (after simple things) 4 i love you, stevie (was he cute, or was he cute?) _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

It all started with a picnic in central park (for those of you who attended but are as bad with names as I am, you may recall me as the massive redheaded guy). It was attended only by the most fabulous and glamorous people (in keeping with David's and Julie's request on the invitation; special thanks to the unglamorous for staying away) including England's own Mark Casarotto, Sandra and Sarah and Nicola and Karolyne and Katrina from Team Canada, Chris and Susanna and that vaguely vanilla-scented David fellow from down under, and more Americans than you can shake a stick at (I tried. It had a paper plate stuck on it and still no luck), including most of the New York #sinister contingent, two very mean little girls, and loads of gorgeous people who'd traveled many miles to meet me and remind me to bring cheap red wine in prune juice jars next time. Or maybe I dreamt that last part. At any rate, as regards the people who *were* there, their countries and states were all the worse for their having been at our little picnic by the great lawn instead of their homes. In fact, Britain got a little drunk and called me late Sunday night, choking back tears and begging to have Mark back. It was really an embarrassing situation for everyone involved, but I don't think we can in good conscience hand him over until Britain seeks some help or just gets over it. Then we had an intermission and reconvened at the concert hall. The Aislers Set were great in spite of some technical difficulties, and golly that bassist is cute. Then we waited. And waited. Eventually, Belle and Sebastian took the stage. The first thing I noticed (which proved to be massively true by the end of the show): Stevie is a natural born rock star. Bona fide. I don't remember the setlist, but it was rad and it was full of good Belle and Sebastian songs. And then we went to the bar where Chris was spinning after the show. That Beans is some kind of DJ, I'll tell you what. My body still hurts from busting a move. Ask anyone who's ever tried to get me to dance, and they'll tell you that I do not dance. Ask anyone who was there last night and they'll tell you that I do not dance well, but dance I did (after sufficiently boozing my oh-so-sinister shyness into submission). Behold the awesome powers of the Geddes turntables! And Wild Turkey! So yeah, the short version: met lots of great people, saw a fantastic show, and managed not to hurt anyone (badly) whilst doing my impression of a dance and drinking like it was my job. Good times. After all that and another (only partially sinister) party in the middle, I should like to *ahem* sleep the clock around, but I'm afraid I've got some tigermilking to do tonight. Maybe I'll see you there. xo, Will Porter P.S. Katrina from Halifax: my co-worker from Halifax is friends with the librarian from Halifax that you mentioned.

I'll uncloak myself, delurk. Hmm, something's awry. No, something's beautiful. Belle & Sebastian in Philadelphia. The Tower Theatre--with its cheesy science fiction planet panels and jukebox coloring amongst the aging, dusty grandeur of the old, converted moviehouse. Pictures playing in my head--now--of Stuart bouncing around, half-naked little flirt, the brilliant boxer boy in this scene. The brilliant architect of blissful poetry for the remainder of the flickering night. He said they were in Philly for three days. Ah, if only we had known! (Well, then what??) Stinky Pete's, eh? As aforementioned, Isobel went unaccounted for... although Ms. replacement-from-Rasputina did a lovely job on cello. Understandably, it's just not the same. Stevie was adorable. Sarah too. And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo. Yeah. We all know what extra fine musicians they all are, whether its the band alone or embellished with string section (etc.). However, I think it took the live setting to finally appreciate, fully, what absolutely solid musicians they are. Little indie rock band does theme from "Rocky" and... erm, terribly famous bebopping, brushstroking jazz number, the title of which is embarrassingly eluding me.... Ahhh, byooteefull. Too much rudeness from various audience dampened the mood here and there. But those were anomalies. All else shimmered... sparkly... glittery. Whee. The new songs are divine. The mix of old favorites put me on a sustained sugar high. Nearly overdosed, dammit. How nice! So many invitations to get up and dance like a tree shaking off its apples and leaves. "Judy" and "Seymour Stein" and "The Boy With The Arab Strap" and "String Bean Jean" and "Dirty Dream #2" and "Legal Man" and (slower but still effervescent) "Fox In The Snow" and "I Fought In A War" and! and! and! (she chirps, chirps, chirps). "Me and the Major" as an encore sent me soaring through the roof, right into the atmosphere. Ain't never gonna come down, I tell you. And yet.... Now I'm moping about as though I was a teenager again. The show's over. Back to my records and such. Flash. Moment gone. Beep. Game over. Well, I have a shirt (dare I say, a twee one indeed?) to remember it by. Free tees and badgies were handed out during the jazz "intermission"--lucky punks, you who received them! They were in abundance. But I bought myself a bus shirt before the show and did not get greedy, despite the temptation of possibly, maybe, perhaps getting a tee handed to me by Struan himself. ...sigh... I *thought* I had also recorded the show, so my friends and I could properly relive our valhalla experience over and over afterward. But wouldn't you know? The *one* time I receive a defective cassette it's for B&S. Why couldn't that happen whilst recording This American Life on the radio? At least you can buy those if you miss the broadcasts! All I have salvaged of the Tower performance is the second tape--the good one, the one that didn't betray me or devastate me or rain on my parade, lalala. A handful of final songs from the main set plus the encore. It's something, 'tis true. I sound so whiney and pathetic right now, 'tis also true. Still, all the work of sneaking my recorder into the theatre, past the mulleted ticket-taker, avoiding the flashlights of ushers... all for naught. Or near naught. Surely, some other fan must've smuggled in their own recording goods that night... but finding him or her is a leap in the dark. Boohoo, I know. Those of you who didn't get a chance to see them probably long to kick me right now. But your time will come too. This was my first time seeing our blessed lovely band upon which we cast our endearment. It seemed to take forever to come. And I eagerly await the next time they grace our ears... and our eyes (yum!) peace and purrs, Almeh p.s. The Aisler's Set were adorable and potently poppy too. Sadly, they suffered from a poor sound mix, which also plagued B&S occasionally. Who was that awful soundperson minding the board?? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Quick report back - The Greenwich picnic had turned into pubnic before some of us even arrived which meant NO HILL CLIMBING! Yay! A pleasant afternoon's drinking, talking bollocks and not going to see Cat Power was followed by pleasant night's Swiss Cottaging(!) and some pleasant noodling the next day. Props, hugs etc to picnic mummy Paul, Picnic suggester Liz and picnic accommodation-provider Ben. Hellos and hugs to Ian, Jeremy, Maddie, Archel, Carsmile, Moore, Trousers, Marianna and anyone I missed. Much has been made lately of the big Isobel-shaped hole in the US tour line-up. Easy as it would be to make up stories about her being knackered after several nights of hot Robster action, it would be more fun to make up something even more pointless as well as lengthy. So here's what happened... Belle & Sebastian were driving to the Coachella festival in their psychedelic van. It was a long drive so as the evening drew in they decided to find a motel for the night. They soon came across a run down flophouse called The Inn Full Of Ghosts in the little town of Haunted Gulch. Stuart tentatively knocked on the door. "Who the fuck is that?" called a voice from within. "We're Belle & Sebastian from Scotland. Do you have any vacancies?" asked Stuart, cheerfully. "Fuck yes!" The door opened to reveal a thin, bearded man carrying a mobile phone. "I'm Neil. I own this place but I cannae find any fuckin' guests since the ghost started hanging aroond." This really excited Stuart. The rest of the band weren't so sure. "G-g-ghost??" Said Chris "Beansie" Geddes fearfully. His best friend Stevie leapt into his arms with fright. "Aye," said Neil. "And if I see him I'll punch his fuckin' lights out." "I'm not sure I want to stay anywhere that's haunted." said Sarah. The best of the band nodded in agreement. "C'mon gang! There's a mystery to solve! And I don't want to sleep in the van another night," implored Stuart. The band murmured among themselves before finally agreeing. "We'll have to split up," said Stuart. "Me and Isobel will check the bedrooms. Sarah, Beansie and Stevie can check the spooky cellar, the attic, the secret passage, the outhouse and the swamp out back. Bob, Richard and Mick don't fit into this joke so they'll have to wait in the van. Let's go!" "Uh uh," said Stevie, shaking his head. "Oh come on, Stevie!" "Uh uh" "Would you do it for a Stevie Snack?" Stuart produced a slice of tablet from his pocket. Stevie nodded excitedly before wolfing down the tablet. Soon the band were searching the motel for clues, unaware of the sinister presence watching from the shadows...

His nerves kept in check by a fresh intake of Stevie Snacks. Beansie and Sarah were stood on a chair above the effects pedals which had been connected in a line between the guitar and amp. Sarah explained her ingenious plan. "As soon as the ghost comes into the room we jump on the pedals while Stevie plays the intro to Legal Man. I've calculated the reverb should be the right frequency to shatter the rotten timbers in the door frame and bring the whole lot crashing down on Neil's - I mean the ghost's - head. If we're lucky it'll be a load-bearing wall with a concrete lintel" "Couldn't we just jump him? I mean there's three of us..." "Shut up Stevie - I'm the brainy one in this joke. Here he comes - play Stevie!" "WoooOOOOoooOOOOoO!!!" howled the ghost as he slowly opened the door. Sarah and Beansie jumped on the pedals as Stevie played a cracking lick. Everyone stuck their fingers in their ears as the amp let loose a terrific reverb that echoed round the room for at least a minute. As the nose died down, the ghost stood in the doorway looking confused. Sarah looked in horror at the amp. "Shite! We played too quiet again! Quick Stevie." Stevie swung the guitar and connected soundly with the undead spirit's surprisingly solid head. "Tie him up before he comes to. Then we can find out who this 'ghost' *really* is." "Tenner says it's Neil," said Beansie "It's always the first person you see in an episode. And there wasn't anyone else in the motel." "Stevie J! Where are ye!" cried a voice. It was Struan. "Thank god you guys are here. I've lost Bel!" "Look no further," said Sarah, pulling away the ghost's sheet. "Bel!" Everyone gasped. "Thought she sounded a bit too asthmatic to be Neil" said Beansie. "But why?" said Stuart. "It was my idea," sighed Isobel. "Neil was in on it too - we decided the band had run out of steam and it was time for a change. But first we had to scare the rest of you off." "That's what the glasses were for!" Sarah exclaimed. "You were going to form a new emo Belle and Sebastian!" Isobel's eyes grew wilder "That's just what I told Neil but really my plan was to form .... A Proclaimers tribute band!" The rest of the band gasped in horror. "You're insane!" cried Struan. "And I would've got away with if is wasn't for you bloody kids and your dumb guitarist!" "I can actually talk..." "Never mind," interrupted Struan. "The police have been called." "All's well that ends Bel!" said Beansie. No-one else laughed. *********************** So that's it. Isobel was taken away for psychiatric treatment and by the time the band got to Boston she was back to her usual bored self. Um.... that's all. Sorry to have bored you.

The Hammerstein's cherubs looked down on the flat pan of concrete as a small cluster of hard-core fans sat just ten minutes before show time. I joined them, awarding myself the prize for the Oldest-Looking Fan (I'm a relatively ancient 44, balding hair shot with grey), as I sat on the skanky floor with my friend Tom. Both of us had drive down from Amherst after experiencing the band in Boston on Saturday. The opening act, Interpol, caused me to flash back to the early 1980s - the bassist's Flock of Seagulls haircut gave me a start - but they turned in a solid performance with a wall of noise and steady rhythms. Their sound was remarkably Joy Division-esque, but none of them appeared to be seeking suicide quite yet (maybe when they're famous). A nice opening act. The folks around me bopped a bit, but the relative press of bodies prevented any real dancing. I ended up front and very close to the rail (and I apologize to anyone whose vision I blocked: I am tall and solidly built.) After a pretty short interval, we were rewarded as They came. I felt that they were faintly more tired than Boston, but still game and enthusiastic, and their set, which differed markedly from the previous night's, was wonderful: they played songs I've not heard them play recently, including String Bean Jean and Me & The Major, among others. Stuart was having fun with us, like usual. One highlight was when Marisa, of this list, was pulled onstage. (I'd met her at the pub in Boston before the show.) She had been standing front row center - I guess she spent the preceding 24 hours there :) - and apparently was recognized by Stuart from late nights in Boston. She delivered the Dirty Dream #2 lines with remarkable professionalism and danced like a pro. The local talent pulled from the audience turned out to be able only to do B&S songs, and consequently that segment didn't materialize. Given my long-term brain damage and years of listening to B&S turned up to 11, I have entirely forgotten the song Stuart sung in its place. Isobel actually got happy at one point, a striking change, laughing with Sarah and enjoying herself. But then she returned to her Nico-esque form (enhanced by her dress, a nice Dylan-1964-Don't Look Back print that's the same one (if memory is correct) in the pictures from the Black Sessions. About halfway through, she pulled on a long, black-and-flowered print 1960s-influence raincoat, very fetching indeed. However, once that brief period of personality was over, she returned to being either bored, shy, or pouting, depending on your interpretation or level of charity. One of the things, by the way, that's become clear to me having finally seen them in person is the central role that Stevie plays. That's something that's hard to get from just their albums, but it's clear that he, as much as Stuart, is a driving force for the band. But more than that, I also could see that this band, despite the pressures pushing Stuart to the front, works hard to give everyone an equal role, and I find that admirable. There are enough egos in music. Anyhow. Another solid performance and a great, great show, well worth it. Cheers, Richard. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

"We've been wondering around for hours and we've not found a bloody thing!" "I found your glasses," said Beansie passing Sarah a pair of black, horn-rimmed specs. "What are you talking about? I don't wear glasses. Might be a clue though." Sarah examined the spectacles carefully. "Jinkies! The lenses aren't prescription - there's something emo going on here... Hey why are yous two pointing and stammering like that?" Sarah slowly turned round to see a terrifying wraith covered head to toe in a white sheet. "WOOooooOOOooOOOOooooO!!!" The ghost howled. Sarah took to her heels, Stevie leaped into Beansie's arms and the pair of them pegged it as fast as Beans could. The ghost gave chase and Mayfly began to play in the background for no reason at all. After an interminable chase through identical corridors - plus various set-pieces involving multiple doors and all three of them hiding in a filing cabinet - the song faded out and the gang found themselves in an old storeroom. It was a dead end. "We're trapped!" Cried Beansie. Behind them they could hear the terrible howling of the ghost. Stevie shuddered with an audible rattling sound. Sarah looked around desperately. There was a Gibson, a Marshall amp and a huge array of effects pedals. "Guys, I've got a plan!"

I'm trying to put together a CD of upbeat B&S songs. Fater songs that you can dance to. Has anyone done this? if so, could you give me some suggestions for which songs to use?

(i have always liked r.e.m., you see, but i don't own any. i wouldn't even say i am an avid listener, really, and it has only been lately the i listened to them again, after borrowing someone else's automatic for the people to use a song for a mix tape. i wondered, that night i made the tape, why i didn't have any r.e.m. silly girl, i thought. shame, shame.) but the song. i hadn't known, until 2:30 on a sleepy monday afternoon that the song had been quoted to me, written to me, in the last week. i had read the words when they were written, and i remember the slow trembling of my bottom lip, the resonance of shallow breath, the beating of my heart. i remember those things. and then. i felt them again. i heard the words, sung, and they were the band's and they were the boy's and they were mine and they were his. above all else, they were his, and he had given them to me last week. there, still in the middle of my room, still half-ready for the world, my comb in my mouth, my hairbrush in hand, i started crying. i watched the tears roll streaks into the fresh blush of my cheeks, and i smiled. i took the comb out of my mouth, and laughed, last night's hardy spring rain transferred from window sill pools to the upturned corners of my mouth. *** i received news today. big news. good news. news that means i get to come to the show after all. someone found my barbie jacket at the bottom of the toy box, i guess, and decided i could have another go at hanging on to the thing properly. alice munro has a book. the beggar maid. in canada, the title is different. who do you think you are? who do i think i am? i think i may be one of the luckiest girls to tumble down a set of stairs. xxx l. lou _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I keep reading of cool covers they've done like "another girl, another planet" but if anyone could give a list of songs they've done in their gigs, that'd be great! Also while surfing Audiogalaxy, much to my amusement I find a cover of "mayfly" apparently sung by Antonio Banderas!:) WHAT!!! Is this true???

It took a combination of Marisa, who is a star and a half, as anyone who was at the Monday show in New York can attest to, shouting out her frustration re: lack of dancing at the Orpheum and the undeniable rhythm of "The Boy With the Arab Strap" to make me actually, uh, get jiggy with it. I had a much better time after that, which helped me justify to myself the obscene amount of money I paid for tickets. To anyone who wanted us to sit down and was grumbling about how we wrecked the show for them I'm really, really sorry but if I can't dance then I want no part of your revolution. Also, keep this "Footloose" analogy in mind : People who were dancing = Kevin Bacon. People who did not want us to dance = John Lithgow. End tangent.) When I was in high school I once saw a band play four songs in as many minutes, smash their instruments, and then set the stage on fire, causing the club to evacuate. Nothing I've seen since has really topped that, but Belle and Sebastian managed to come pretty fricking close. I still get to see them next week in Atlanta, so maybe they'll be so very amazing there that I can have a new "best show I've ever seen" story. I'm starting to get tired of telling the one above. "Tigermilking NYC" was fun - although I mostly went to see my friend Keith d.j. and I missed most of his set. Apparently he played a Japanese electro-cover of "From the Morning" before I got there. I do sort of wish the shebang was downstairs at Fez, that seems to have more of a party atmosphere. Still, I had a fantastic weekend, and probably my best birthday ever. Thanks for indulging my euphoric post-show babble.

And now I'm thinking better of thinking of it. I want to tell the world, I want to whinge, becuase I feel ill, and I want some symapthy. Or attention. Either will do fine. I'm such a wuss when it comes to being ill. I've got this really bad sore throaty thing- sort of my tonsils really, and a warm fuzzy head feeling and achy bits. the back of my neck aches, I'd love a nice massage right now. I'd love a bit of TLC to soothe me. I'm supposed to go on a course tomorrow. Not a race or golf type, like, one for training and stuff. A whole day. The course is booked out solid, and very popular, and I was lucky to get a place on it. So I'm taking the day off today to get all rested up for tomorrow. I thought I could make it through today and tomorrow- just soldier along, and leave the dying thing til Friday. But thats not working, I woke up this morning, feeling pretty awful, so decided staying in bed was the best thing. I went to the seaside on Monday with my pal, and built a sandcastle and bought ice cream and sat in a graveyard drawing pictures. It was great fun. I've still got sand everywhere- especially in my trainers. I had a dream last night about the girls from Sex And The City, and me weeing into a washing machine- as you do. My brain and I aren't working, I nearly wrote washine maching which would not make any sense to you at all. I'm in that sort of dream like state right now, where everything seems a little surreal- thats what happens when you are ill. or maybe just to me. I dreamt about being back at school, only as an adult and being able to answer back the cheeky adolecent kids with one liners to put them in their place. I dreamt about a girl who I used to be friends with, and asking her why we weren't friends anymore. I can never really fathom why friendships deteriorate. One of my pals has moved. He split up from his wife last summer, since she was seing other people behind his back and stuff, and he was really sad about it, and tried to make it work, but she wasn't interested. So then he took a holiday to visit an old friend of his in Calefornia, and he fell in love with her. Turns out they were in love all along, just with different people. So now he's moved out there to start a new life in her arms. I've decided to start a new life in my own arms. Its the first place to fall in love when you're single. my head is getting fuzzy again and throbbing, and spinning a bit and my thoughts aren't quite coherent or straightforward- I'm feeling surreal, so I think i ought to leave my post at the end of this bit.

Hope y'all are having an awesome week so far, cos this week is, like, totally bitchin' dudes. That was my American lingo, and here's how I acquired it... ...The story began a couple of weeks ago, when suddenly whilst watching "Popular" the TV show, on TV, I noticed how professional these young actors were, they carry on acting despite not being able to act at all! Much like a football player who soldiers on despite injuring his second metatarsal bone. So, I thought, I WANT TO BE AN ACTOR! And so embarked on starting a career in acting. And, being the talented man that I am, I fabricated a CV that was good enough for a major theatre production company to think that I'm worth more than a small lump of cheese, and invited me to an audition in their theatre house! So, I set off to the theatre house, and I've been told that once I get near the theatre house in Aldwych in London then I'd be able to see the big sign for the musical they have there. And sure enough, there were signs galore once I got there, so I followed the sign, and it was like as if I entered a distorted dimension.. the further I walked towards the sign, the further it seemed to be away!! First I had to take a taxi for 10 minutes, then take a bus for 2 hours, and then! I had to take a plane for 8 hours! But finally I got there! I arrived, at the place where the musical is, it was a big theatre, and the stage was state-of-the-art - they even have those conveyor belt on stage things that take you from one end of the stage to another (like they had for the hearsay concert), wow, so I started singing when I was on stage "sweeeeeeet hommmeeeeeeee chiiicccaaagoo" I sang, "ha ha very funny" said an actor in a uniform as he pretended to put a stamp on my passport. You can tell these actors aren't in "Popular", since their acting are wonderful! No matter how hard I told them they would insist that I was in an AIRPORT, rather than a THEATRE HOUSE... The point of the story was that I'm in Chicago!! And Chicago is great and I'll see B&S in a few days!! And sorry I don't have a ticket to sell!!! Does anyone know that there is going to be a Chicago picnic this Saturday?? You should all come. It's at the Belmont Harbor Marina. This tells you all about it..... http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/latest/msg00069.html DUDE! It's gonna be the shit man. So get your ass down on Saturday or I'd personally whip it. Also, does anyone know that there is going to be a picnic in Ann Arbor in anticipation of the Detroit show this Friday?? You should all come. It's at the Art Museum. This tells you all about it..... http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/latest/msg00073.html DUDE! It's gonna be the shit man. So get your ass down on Friday or I'd personally whip it. SUMMARY ======= - Ken's in Chicago - Saturday Chicago picnic http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/latest/msg00069.html - Friday Ann Arbor picnic (before Detroit) http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/latest/msg00073.html - Drink Red Bull Picnic's and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: Sorry about the delusional tone of this message, I blame the free booze on the plane.

"Palgrave" "Yes, Palgrave. I remember at parent evening her telling me 'I've never met such a dreamer. I'm not sure what world she lives in but I'm sure its nicer than ours.'" I was surprised. My mum had never told me that before. I hadn't really realised that other people knew I was a dreamer. I hadn't realised that daydreamed more than any other 6 year old. I think that my teacher was right though the world I lived in was nicer than the real world. If I had lived in the real world while I was at school I might I would have had been the shy girl, with few friends, who was ever so slightly bullied. But I wasn't that girl at all. I was the girl who knew that one day she would land up in the middle of a famous five type adventure. Or that she really would eventually understand what animals were saying, or discover a secret door somewhere in the school that lead directly to a magical land. I was happy. Throughout my life I have learnt things, gained experiences, made some of my dreams into reality and occassionally wandered into the world where other people live, but I don't think I have ever changed that much. What has happened though, is I have met more people. Other dreamers, other people who would rather imagine a crazy daydream than a mundane reality. "You were and Belle and Sebastian fan before they even existed" My dad once said.Belle and Sebastian is music written for dreamers perhaps even by dreamers. I don't need to do anything to become a Belle and Sebastian fan it just fits with who I am. And if my dad knew other Belle and Sebastian fans well enough I'm sure he would have said it to them too. I have met more dreamers within sinister than in any other place I have ever encountered. Its nice I have found that I can share my thoughts with them, and though we may be living lives which run parrel to other people we are not living them alone any more. An outsider looking at my life might see a shy girl who lives alone with few freinds. But I'm not that girl. I'm the girl who dreams of being in a band, or writing a book, or winning the lottery and travelling the world with one of the best friend she has ever had. And I am happy. Take Care, Rachel _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

The thing I remember the most clearly was Harvey coming up to me right after I¹d started playing "Found A Little Baby" by Plush and telling me that while he admired me for picking a song he rated as one of the most beautiful ever recorded, he thought it was little foolhardy playing something that was impossible to dance to and thus bound to clear the dancefloor completely. "Yeah, but the thing is I never expected anyone to dance anyway," I explained, trying not to talk too loud over the drop dead "oooh-oooh" bits that sound like they¹re lifted from Brian Wilson: The Melancholic, Wistful And Achingly Beautiful Years. "So in that respect the whole thing¹s been a complete disaster." I¹d convinced myself that no-one was going to come, so the plan was to please myself. I was going to play my "Found A Little Baby" seven inch, possibly both sides. I was going to play the version of "Wouldn¹t It Be Nice" I have that¹s vocals only. I was going to play "Your Ghost" by Kristen Hersh. I was going to play "Everything Flows". No would be there, no one would dance, and I¹d have the time of my life. When a guy knocked on the door at nine pm precisely and asked when we were opening I was practically dumbstruck. I didn¹t know him. He wasn¹t one of a handful of pals who were kind-hearted enough to say they¹d come and drink a few pints while I played my favourite late night records. He was a complete stranger. "Er, eight o clock," I said, even though it was a good hour after that. I thrust a flyer into his hand in a bid to hide my flusteredness. He was coming already, he didn¹t need a flyer. What was I doing? He scanned the printed names and said "Go-Betweens. Cool". I was secretly delighted but kept my calm. "Come back at nine o clock," I said. It was, by that point, about five past. Then Ben showed up. He was on his own (The first guy was with an off duty Prom Queen. That¹s what you get for being punctual). We still hadn¹t opened but it was ten past by then and that seemed like as good a time as any. "Want to hear Simon & Garfunkel?" I asked him. He did. Well, he said he did, probably out of politeness more than anything else, although he was close enough to see the rising mania in my eyes so self preservation probably played a part as well, and off I scurried downstairs. Song one: "Keep The Customers Satisfied". My little joke. A few songs after that: "We Can Have A Party On Our Own". Still amusing myself, all going well. I played the Go-Betweens before the punctual guy came back. Over-enthusiasm plus stupidity equals irony. So now you know. In the space of half an hour, a lot of people turned up that I didn¹t know and a lot of my friends did as well. I couldn¹t believe it. I was doubly happy on two different levels. Ben said he came because of my postings on the Sinister Mailing list and thought that quite a few others turned up because of those. The off duty Prom Queen¹s mate said she came along because of my postings on the Prom Night messageboard and that a few of her mates did too. Ah, the wonder of the internet. I will never doubt its potency ever again. If I had been forced to bet all of my money on which song would get someone up dancing first, I would never ­ in a million long years of studying form and going through mine and Angus¹ record collections with a magnifying glass and a fine tooth comb ­ have picked "Therese" by The Bodines. That is why I¹ve never won the lottery, one of those flats that the Evening Standard give away, or "Parallel Lines" in a Smash Hits competition (my brother won the last one, though, so I got to listen to his copy). But it did. One guy, dancing on his own. Respect. The rest of the night is a bit of a blur. I drank enthusiastically, I played records that I loved, it was a fine way to be. Songs by the following artists were aired: Belle & Sebastian, The Temptations, The Razorcuts, The Mills Brothers, Tom Jones, The Stone Roses, The House Of Love, The Field Mice, Aretha Franklin, The Velvet Underground, The Four Tops. I didn¹t play Kristen, "Everything Flows" (but I did chance "The Concept"), or the Beach Boys a cappella (went for "Sloop John B" instead). I didn¹t have songs by Television, Another Sunny Day, Suede and countless others. The last two songs were: "The End Of The Affair" (this is it, isn¹t it?) "Homeward Bound". We lasted til 2am when I thought we¹d be hard pushed to make it til midnight. It was a great and it¹s taken me about a week and a half to get over it and type up this account. Sorry for being so slack. That¹s it. I¹m just trying to sort out when the next date will be and I¹ll post it up on the site when I¹ve got it sorted. Other than that, all that remains to be said is: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

I heard two girls, that couldn�t have been much older than I am now, but then seemed to somehow belong to another world, read out something like� �Self-alienated, a man doesn�t even communicate with himself. Deep inside him lives a scared child that he hides well, especially from other men. If however a woman discovers it then he has another mother and he�s definitely lost. The second castrates what the first one has left. Only when men sing and drink together are they (temporarily) free.� (Of course, I didn�t remember that by heart for six years. The girl was reading it off a magazine that was reviewing the book it was written in, and the next day �back at those days, I was patient enough to stay in bed and wait for the next day - I found the magazine in our living room, cut the pages out, glued them together and kept them. It surprises me that six years and five times of moving later I knew exactly where they were. If I have killed it in the process of translating it, forgive me. It was weird in the first place anyway.) Yesterday, or the day before � at three am, it�s not today but it�s not tomorrow either- I went back to the flat I used to live. It�s strange how much I know and remember that place, how the way the walls are painted and the view from the back windows and everything is familiar � so familiar I can still walk in it in the dark. It is also strange how much the boy that lives there is familiar, everything down to the way he messes up his room and the way he piles up things. And it�s strange how even the things he never did when I used to live in the next room are familiar too, how he looks more and more like he always looked in my dreams. We sang along to Hefner together in the half-light, �let me put it to you this way, you will get hit by a bus, you will fall from your bicycle�, and for a while, it felt as, as will put it, it could alter the structure of reality itself. He asked me if the song said that you�ll get hit by a track if you do bad things, and I fell over giggling and couldn�t stop for a while, it made him turn the volume up and look the other way. Apart from giggling, I felt like crying too, I was moved to tears by the fact that someone can say that. And by the fact that someone can be a part of you and at the same time keep surprising you. He asked me to imagine how the room would looked if you were standing at the window opposite, he said it would look like a movie, and I didn�t know what to say first: you�ve always looked like a movie, or do you think I haven�t imagined that already? I used to live here remember? But it was innocence, not carelessness or something like that, and it made me make lists of the reasons I like boys. In my head, of course, and with a clarity and accuracy that for my dazzled mind was surprising. Their smell � and they�re being different � being made in a different way � and the wonder of two differently made creatures coming near � I suppose that�s how far it went. I said I think the song is about how all the things you could have done but didn�t do will mean nothing when you�re dead, which could be anytime, so do something pretty while you can. I just like it for the way it says it. I had woken up that day with an urge to play It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career in the silent house, in a theatrical way. To make a mixtape starting with it. To tell the world something, anyway, starting with it. Which would be strange, if not inexplicable, had it not been for the feeling of loss that�s been haunting me the last few days. Loss of what, you might ask. I�ll probably say I don�t know. I might be lying about it. Cause all that was only for a while, and then he had to go and do different things with different people, and me, I don�t know what I had to do. I remembered that night, though. I remembered the silence and the darkness that made me more open to all feelings. And what the girl read out loud. In a way, I didn�t understand it; and in another way, I understood everything � or at least the feelings behind everything, which, for me, is everything. And it was weird. How it broke my fifteen-year-old heart � at the time I had no expectations from any boy whatsoever, so I was free to feel the sadness of it. And how I�ve lived the rest of my life with a vague knowledge of it. Whatever it actually is I�m talking about. Why is falling love so difficult? And why does it scare people when they want to fall in love anyway? And why do people run away from things? And why do people do things that don't really make them happy? And why is letting go of your fears so hard? Oh, please, do something pretty while you can, Dimitra xxx _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: I truly apologize to bother everyone with this, but I have to make a special request to anyone who can help me. My sister (her name is Cat) lives in Chicago and she has been unemployed until recently. She couldn't afford to buy a ticket to the gig at the Congress Theater (and I didn't think of buying her one until after it sold out). Now she finally got a job, and I want to give her a sort of "congratulations, you've done it" gift and she REALLY wants to go to the performance this Saturday. Can anyone with an extra ticket to the gig please e-mail me privately at JNovotny at hotmail.com? We can set something up. Again, I sincerely apologize for bothering all of you with this, but I'm fortunate enough to get to see the band here in DC and I would love my sister to be able to go, too. Thanks so much for your patience.

And a big word up to Mick Cooke being one of the highlights and providing much viewing pleasure to everyone in our section. We couldn't see about half the stage (but still managed to see quite a bit, due to the sheer amount of people playing), but were fully entertained by his many talents. The Aislers Set were very good- I didn't know much about them, but I noticed that the keyboard player is from The Fairways. Unfortunately, the sound was not very good during their set...I think something was wrong with the mic and the overall mix was very quiet. The sound was corrected for B&S, but it's too bad that The Aislers Set didn't get their volume cranked to 11 as well. Here's the setlist, as I wrote it on a scrap of paper. I'm forgetting a lot of the talking parts, so I'm hoping that the other Montreal go-ers can fill in the blanks: Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie - I was in the bathroom when this started, and let me tell you: everything they've said about bathroom acoustics is true. I would've stayed in there if there was a Jumbotron in the sink area. I don't think they started out with Fuck This Shit since I didn't hear a harmonica among the crowd-screams, but I was in the can, so I'm not really sure. Dirty Dream #2 (no talky bits) Dunno (Magic of a Kind Word?) I'm Waking Up To Us I Love My Car Stevie Song from Storytelling (Consuelo Leaving?) - complete with suggestive Genie In A Bottle dance moves from said B&S member. The string section sounded excellent. Scooby Driver Stars of Track and Field - this one received one of the biggest cheers of the night. Stuart hesitated at the beginning, which prompted a short conference with Stevie. I think this was when a girl in the audience shouted "I can sing it!". Ten seconds later: "I mean it!". Heehee... The Model Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye - !!!, with Sarah on vocals; Stevie, Mick, Bobby and Chris I Could Be Dreaming The Boy w/ the Arab Strap - included a Mick-led clapping frenzy. I ran out of clapping-steam about half way, but the rest of the crowd showed endurance and strength right to the finish line. Slow Graffiti Family Tree I Know Where the Summer Goes Dog On Wheels The Wrong Girl There's Too Much Love Put the Book Back on the Shelf Legal Man - all sorts of good crazy shit. Great closer, since we did not get an encore. Stories included an announcement of the Canadiens win over the Hurricanes (no comment as I'm from Ottawa), hockey fights, rats following Stuart around, and a questioning of whether they were considered prog due to Stuart's double bass/guitar combo. Sadly, no Yes covers were played, although the Leonard Cohen tune almost made up for it. The band seemed to be in a good mood: lots of crowd interaction, dancing, smiles, glasses slipping down noses. It was pretty wild. For those of you catching them on the rest of the tour: I hate you all! Have fun, --Cathy. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

But now I'm finally going to get this sent. I have the new Elbow CD on... #6, "Asleep in the Back" is really amazing... philly show - I got to the Tower Theatre in time to catch just five songs or so... I guess that works out to be a song for every hour spent getting there! It was worth it. The venue was perfect aside from being in a sketchy neighborhood. I liked the formality of the ushers' black and white suits. The lights were amazing. We found seats better than my ticketed ones, which was nice, but we weren't in them long. I sat for Seymour Stein but had to dance for the next one. And what exactly *was* that song? The one with all the clapping... it was fantastic. So was the crowd. The band not only sounded astounding but they looked like they were genuinely having a good time up there. Did anyone note a setlist for Philly? I didn't see one. On the way out I bought one of the tea-towels... which I have deemed "most interesting concert souvenir ever bought" (closely followed by my Man or Astroman? pennant, Sof' Boy comic by Archer Prewitt and Madness fleece....). Who was the fella in the tan corduroys who had travelled over from the U.K. who was looking for the after-party? I hope he found it ok. Thanks to two quite friendly and helpful locals (the people in Philly are great!), we managed to find our way into the after-party club after someone had apparently just set off a fire extinguisher. A nosebleed and several drinks after, we were dancing to a fun mix of records. I learned a few things on my trip, the first one being that if you wait until 6 a.m. to try and get a hotel room, you can essentially get the next night free because they list it as Saturday morning. After sleeping a couple of hours, we headed out to the zoo, where I learned more new stuff like the fact that black spider monkeys have no thumbs and that zoo hot dogs are extremely vile. Well, I kinda knew that last part ahead of time. I saw these funky little nekkid animals that are the world's only hairless mammal. ** Amusingly, they sold little stuffed naked mole rats in the gift shop, which I have deemed "most interesting zoo souvenir ever bought." It's all pink and squishy with funny teeth... reminds me of someone I used to date! haha d.c. show - The friend who left me with an extra PA ticket is also making my D.C. trip plans difficult. I think I need new "friends." Anyway, I'm not missing any part of this one *or* Sleater-Kinney. Dammit. I was trying to set up some kind of fun pre-show party/meet with some friends of mine who have a record shop up there... but guess what week they decide to move the *entire* shop? Sigh. And Belle and Sebastian has long been their best-seller in the shop. So it coulda been huge. Vilkas and I were talking about doing something also. Does anyone know if there are good places to meet near DAR Constitution Hall? I've never been there since I tend to stick to the Black Cat and other small venues. Drop me a line if you have ideas. A picnic on the mall lawn with kites could be fun... but weather, parking and several other things could be problems... Luv from - Jenny ** Want to see some nekkid mole rats too? http://natzoo.si.edu/Webcams/molerat1/nmcam.htm These guys are indecent.

"it's belle & sebastian tonight isn't it?" "yes," i told her. "may i come?" she asked. "sorry my lovely, but it's not the place for little cats like you. it's for those 19 and older and you're merely two," i responded. she seemed to be content with this and started to lick something. well i've just got back from the toronto show, and i had a lot of fun. i won't add setlists as i don't remember all the details. one thing i'll say about the toronto audience, is they weren't dancing. the aislers set did a great set, the singer was a little off, but that might be due to this audience. a few hundred people just standing, staring and chatting during their entire performance. i was standing off to the side looking for people i knew. steven kado walked by me three times yawning looking for friends, i felt welcome. laura, who did the first b&s night i went to in toronto was there as well. i met my friend kelly, her boyfriend is in sully that just opened for the cranes, and stood away from the evil black light that plagued the whole venue. khaki flairs look like dirty white pants under those evil things. after aislers set we found a great place to watch b&s. (note to short people, don't complain about not being able to see past us tall people when we leave a lot of space infront of us for you to stand.) i was very happy seeing b&s, i had a lot of fun. to that person who had that apparatus that when he spun it around and it spelled out belle & sebastian in laser lights, you are awesome, and stuart commented on it. i had loads of fun but as the last song wound down i had to run for the last train out of toronto. it runs at 12.13am and i ran for it. i made it, and i'm back here with etta on my lap looking for a concert tshirt to sleep on. the storytelling shirts are nothing to look at and i already own an ampersand shirt, so she's sleeping on my jacket instead, looking quite content. see you in #sinister land... the angel blackwell... the early bird get's the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese... }:> _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

God I love nested parentheses. I share an office with two other grad students here, and have just this very minute been instructed to "turn off that beepy bollocks, Michael." I've been listening to Hefner's Dead Media LP. And... And you know what it's been replaced with? David Gray. I'm not kidding.

I am looking forward to the days of sightseeing and whatnot, being that the last time I was there I missed out on a lot of things. Anyway, if any get-togethers or concerts are going on please let this ol' Texan Yank know! Went to see my first B&S show in Austin last week, man was it a wonderful experience! I never knew that so many people would be there, I guess since it was the only show in this part of the country that everyone from neighboring states drove down for it. Me and my pals met up with Alyson from the list, who was super nice! Vince told her to recognize our group by the dress I was wearing, and she did! I got some pics taken but have to get my film developed. The next day we stopped off at Waterloo Records in Austin for some tunes, man what a great shop that is. They are on the web, you guys should check them out www.waterloorecords.com, I believe that is the site. I picked up the new Promise Ring, the new Grandaddy, and Ben Kweller (all of which rocked, especially Ben Kweller). While walking into class yesterday, I actually saw a truck with stickers on the back for the Get Up Kids and for Promise Ring, and some other Emo bands. I couldn't believe it, an actual fan of good music lives by me. Need to meet them... ;) Stacey Dahling, loved the pictures from all your past Sinister parties! You are right, Ken Chu is a cutie :)! I need to get one of those 'I Love Ken Chu' badges, was it you Lisa who was making them? Don't you all think it is totally great that somewhere, maybe on the other side of the globe, someone is speaking your name and wearing badges that say that they love you? Breaking out in Linda-Rondstat mode singing 'Somewhere Out There'. The list is all powerful...

We'll be in London, Dublin, Paris, Bilbao, Madrid, Barcelona, Florence, Rome, Berlin, maybe Brussels. If anyone knows any other cities we should try to go to, fun queer areas of cities (I'm a girl too; hence we're queer), good places to find art books, zines and good music, whatever, please drop me an email? I'd very much appreciate it. Oh yeah, we're vegan, so any good vegan food suggestions would be great too. Thanks. Oh, B+S content: B+S finally came to New York and we missed them.

The Bitch. Of course, it's no thanks to the list that I actually did get to see Belle and Sebastian in New York on Sunday. The one answer I had to my plea about what to do if my ticket hadn't come in the mail was a conversation which went like this: Dave: You could crash the gate! Distract them and sneak in! Me: I'm not lifting up my shirt. Dave: You could just yell, 'Look, a Llew comet!' Me: Well, I'm definitely not lifting my shirt while saying that. It looked hopeless. I looked desperate. (Ok, so some things never change.) However, thanks to Dashing Damo's superfly scramblings, Brian DeWinters Manderleyan organizational skills and Laurel's expressing the pony I was able to finally get the ticket in my grubby happy little hands in time for the show. I know I'm delayed in writing back but I am a Southerner - we're supposed to be slow. So without further adieu: A Night At The Hammerstein Ballroom By Laura Llew With Help From Senor Snicket Even after liking Belle and Sebastian for five years, there are many things I do not understand. I do not understand how a priest can have a photographic memory for all that he had HEARD rather than seen. I do not understand why the line in Photo Jenny can't really be "Get that bitch a bench" instead of "fish and chips." I do not understand why the band refuses to play my bedroom even if it is too cramped for all of them leaving me with just Stu, Stevie, and Mick Cooke while the others occupy themselves with lint and pieces of string in the hall. It has good lighting and attractive decor. What is their problem? I do not understand why some people attend a show when it appears they would prefer to be chatting with a friend, preparing a proposal for the bassist of the Aislers Set or persistently digging their elbow into my ribs; and I do not understand why I should be expected to applaud for a bunch of hideous backup singers & musicians just because they can shake a tambourine while wearing fantastically gaudy clothes better than I can. And now there is something else I do not understand. I do not understand how I could travel some distance and spend a fair amount of money to see Belle and Sebastian only to realize three minutes into the show that with the exception of Stevie Jackson being replaced by Tiny Tim, my mom calling me to tell me she's decided for a career change and is becoming a porn star, or discovering I was closely related to any of the backup singer/muscians - I didn't care *what* happened for the next couple of hours I would love it all regardless. When Stuart asked the crowd if she should play Staying Alive because it had such a huge potential to be really bad I found myself wanting more than anything to hear the song. It's either a sign of devotion or a sign of a psychotropic drug prescription just waiting to be written. Either way, I was happy. I was up at the very front with no one in front of me so that I could feel every drop of sweat which Struan shook loose. Of course, that would have been if I weren't over too far from the center and in front of Isobel instead to feel every drop of glitter shake off from the back of her long top which said "United Plaster Casters of America" on the back. Her bum was looking very proportional to the rest of her body too bad her personality didn't. I kind of liked her aloofness and the way she would occasionally lean over and whisper something to someone else as she giggled. I also liked the way she would randomly get up and wander off the stage as if in a trance. I wish she had done it more often. Thanks to the flashers during the song The Model we now have the answer to Stuart's question in Rollercoaster Ride of, "If you were to remove your clothes do you think the singer would notice?" Forever yours (or until I get bored and cast you aside like the other llewsers), Laura 'meeting all of your Laura Llew needs since 1977' PS - I just took this quiz at http://www.herheartache.org/test/kirsten.html to discover that I'm Lux Lisbon. No wonder I've been so tired - having sex with all these boys on my roof and I hadn't even noticed. Oy! PPS - I don't know what "licky love" is but I don't think I want to experience it. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

For a short week, this one has lasted quite long enough already. But what a grand weekend preceded it! From making people cry with poetry (full granny-sized props to me, I think) at the gorgeous wedding of an ex-Sinisterette to her Ryan Giggs-alike metaller sweetheart, to exhibiting my little-known Tina Turner karaeoke stylings to a select audience of Ben and Rob (now known as an hilarious purveyor of Stevie Snacks) at the former�s fine Swiss Cottage establishment, via being conpicuously ignored by non-drunk people while quaffing Chardonnay out of Powerpuff Girls pink glittery plastic beakers on the Tube, it was a protracted but not too sleep-deprived hoot. Snogs (with tongues) and the associated infectious bacteria to everyone involved in and around the Greenwich (more pub than pic)nic. Saw John Lydon on breakfast TV yesterday telling people to get off their arses and enjoy the Golden Jubilee; his rationale being that we should get our money�s worth out of the royals while there are still enough of them around to ridicule without feeling sorry for them. He then proceeded to belch loudly. R!O!C!K! A Word to the wise on *eXtreme* sports - for the rise in their popularity I blame the Windows 'undo' function. See, if you aren't worried about the consequences of an action you perform while fiddling with Excel (and don't get me started about the History box in PhotoShop) due to the ability to backtrack using Ctrl-Z, it's an easy step to jumping off a bridge attached only to solidity and sanity by a piece of knicker elastic. Another thing to lay on the no doubt expensively tasteless doorstep of Bill Gates. Listening to Sodastream while waiting at the bus station this morning, the shrill cackling of hordes of children on their way to school filled any aural gaps like a weirder live version of �If You�re Feeling Sinister�, only, well, Welsher. Still, it kept me from focusing on the music itself too much, which is a good thing, as being half-asleep on a grey morning is conducive to emotional fragility, and snivelling on public transport ain�t my idea of a good idea. Maybe I should have listened to Adventures in Stereo instead, but these things are seldom planned effectively. More muzak: oh, the Spare Snare album I bought at the weekend is really great. Trying to come up with a suitably lazy NME-stylee comparison, I thought they sounded like a cross between Stereolab and Teenage Fanclub. �On acid�, tee hee. Also, have just found out that Gorky�s Zygotic Mynci (the lovelies) are playing Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff on the night I shall be getting as drunk as a marsupial whilst participating gleefully in the Sinister Drinking Olympics in Brighton (lest we forget: May 25th, kidz!). Ho hum, another of life�s little tragedies. Love, Liz :x *** Humanity i love you because you Are perpetually putting the secret of Life in your pants and forgetting It�s there and sitting down e. e. cummings *** P.S. nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands. P.S.2 (RIP Sega): Now that Ken is in America, I wonder if he will stop being so uptight about the treasure hunt clues and get a life. _________________________________________________________________ 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.

She is exhausted, and probably shouldn't have gone out to the US in the first place. It's quite obvious to everyone she's not been herself at the shows she's done, so the best thing for all concerned is that she comes home. Melora will be joining the band again for tonight's show in Detroit, and will be filling in for Bel on the rest of the tour.

Message-ID: Dear All, A grown man, out of nursery for some six months now, I thought I'd never post anything here, just being happy reading the daily updates from you guys. But the excitement of the US gigs, and what with Ken Chu being over in Chicago, well, I want to be part of something; I want to feel involved. Really, I should've got involved sooner. On the sunny day of the Brixton show I sat in my office in Portobello thinking about heading along to the picnic, getting rid of my suit, putting on a 'Fuck Chu' t-shirt and hanging out with the young hipsters in the park, drinking wine. Then at the concert I should've got in amongst it, not stood up the back getting angry with the jocks. And the next day I could easily have made it to the fitba in Kensington but didn't.... So here I am, out of time and out of fashion, feeling remiss, dreaming of Chicago, New York, Washington... Less glamorously, this afternoon I've been doing a bit of business with The Sunday Post. For those not familiar with the lower end of the newspaper market in Scotland, The Sunday Post is an institution, selling some 600,000 copies (in a country of less than 6 million). It's been around forever and is still family-owned. The publishing company is also responsible for The Beano and The Dandy. The Sunday Post's the only newspaper in the world to have achieved 'saturation circulation' (that's something like where 25% of the population buy it and therefore 100% read it). More than all this though, it's the home of two great comic strips, The Broons and Oor Wullie. See www.thatsbraw.co.uk. Wullie's kind of cool, like a bowlie boy kind of thing. (By the way, Scotland still sells more newspapers per capita than anywhere else. I've also read that it's the only place in the world where Coca Cola is NOT the number one selling soft drink. How wonderful is that in these days of anti-globalisation protests, a whole nation voting with its 50 pence pieces? Perhaps that's why Bel's heading back there.) I'm worried. Bel's clearly cracking up, flying home like a melancholy Seymour Stein. Maybe we should try to help out, perhaps all touch a picture of her at midday on Monday and think positive thoughts, kind of like The Sun did for David Beckham's second metatarsal? She's my screensaver, Bel. My girlfriend's not especially keen on her though.

Message-ID: <311914982@spray.se> Hi Sinister, I'm sinister. May I quote, sort of? I feel so fucking low I want to fucking top myself. There. Done. How are you all doing? Fine, I hope. I'm not, feeling strangely depressed. You know springfeelings? I've got the opposite thing of that. I just feel as bitter as ever. I made a crappy page with a even crappier guestbook a couple of days ago: http://www.geocities.com/blasting_into_space take a look. Actually, it's ironic if you think about the content of this post: melancholy and oh so much more melancholy. I put the photo of me and Stuart Murdoch together, on the fridge. I like that fridge. I am wearing a home-made-t-shirt with the print "Play me a song to set me free", which is actually highly embarassing, but well, I don't care cause he's so nice to look at. I still can't believe it. It's like someone put that photo together in a computer or something. I am watching Jackass, lazily, and not laughing. How can't I be laughing? I love that show, but I'm not laughing. MAN, I'm depressed! How do you do to feel good when the whole world seems like they want to mess your life up? Mail me off-list or something. Saw The Hives today, it was alright. Only costed me around £3, if you make it into that from crowns. It wasn't the best gig ever, and someone hit me in the face, but it was alright. You sort of knew they'd play Hate To Say I Told You So as the last song, but hey, it's good. I need chocolate. Oh GOD, do I need chocolate.

I woke up at about 3am the other day thinking about this, and decided I'd better write a post to explain. A snog, you see, is one of the four basic types of kiss, which are as follows: 1) The Air Kiss This involves putting your chin vaguely over the other person's right shoulder, then their left, and saying "Mwah!" as you do. It tends to be done by posh people, especially those with more money than style. If you actually make skin-skin contact during this, it means you are a lesbian (girls) or a cad and a bounder (boys). This is the sort of kiss you give your granny if you are going to inherit a trust fund from her. 2) The Peck On The Cheek This involves touching their cheek with your pursed lips, but only briefly. Any more is rude. It's not very romantic, really. This is the sort of kiss you give your granny if you are an ordinary person who lives somewhere ordinary, like Grimsby, Thessalonika, or Newaygo (MI). 3) The Kiss On The Lips This kiss doesn't really have a name. It's just an ordinary type of kiss, where your lips touch together. If you are in arctic climates, be careful not to freeze yourselves together. This is the sort of kiss you give your granny if she lives somewhere a bit decadent, like San Francisco, Brighton, or 1890s Paris. 4) The Snog This involves your tongues, your whole face, and often your whole body too. It lasts at least half an hour, and leaves you feeling tingly all over, and slightly melted. This is the sort of kiss you give your granny if your granny is also your cousin. I hope this is Useful Information for some of you out there love xx caitlin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Running battles on the streets of Brighton W. Sussex involving poets, tranvestites and DIY equipment. Wow! Are assassins all we can be bothered to send to each other these days? We used to send nice presents and tropical birds y'know. Which brings me to the question of WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE POETRY PARROT? I still have claw marks in the lino from where our good friend once visited me as he did many other sinister types, politely asking for - sometimes rudely demanding - some lovely poetry before fluttering off to visit the next hapless sinisterene. Apparently it's a family business dating back to Middle Ages when the Madrigal Macaw would harass the peasantry for lusty songs. But for months now - nothing! Has he fallen in love and shacked up with one of you? Or has he gone the way of the Pottery Pteradactyl? Rather than visit the archives to find our where PP last alighted, I thought I'd use the time honoured method used in school. I'll leave the room and whoever's got the parrot can leave him on the desk. I've left some seed. Better leave some poetry as well... PSALM I am not lyric any more I will not play the harp for your pleasure I will not make a joyful noise to you, neither will I lament for I know you drink lamentation, too, like wine so I dully repeat you hurt me I hate you I pull my eyes away from the hills I will not kill for you I will never love you again unless you ask me Alicia Suskin Ostriker Robster http://liquid2k.com/robster75 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Message-ID: Captain's Log: 23:47 I'm not the man I used to be. Hee HEE! That's because I went to my first and, in all probability, last Belle and Sebastian concert ever. Now, I know that I never post, but I also know that you don't want to know why, so suffice to say that it has come to my attention in the past that I am rather uninteresting. So I will now continue, if ever briefly, my streak of boring writing. Anyway, due to some strange fluke, I ended up going to the Detroit show with my dear friend, but I won't bore you with needless detail, instead I'll bore you with necessary detail. So, here commences the tale of my journey "down south" rendered categorical. Clause A: Stuart Murdoch, Part-time Telepath So, Mr. Murdoch chooses to discuss in his onstange banter everything that my friend and I had discussed at length earlier in the day. FOr instance, why is Detroit's downtown deserted? I remember Detroit as a young lass, and let me tell you it was a very different Detroit. When did Ghostown USA Chic become popular? And then Mr. Murdoch also discussed the strange "PRay here for the TIgers" sign on the church (of which, by the way, I have a picture should it be required for the record books). So Stuart is clearly reading my mind, so now I know that my random observations on the city of Detroit were not singular. Clause B: Songs Songs and My Lack of Recollection I had every intention of writing down the setlist, but I was so caught up in my inane commentary that I forgot to do so. I was, however, reasonably impressed with the selection, and would have only been happier had either of the following occurred: a)Stevie and Stuart cover "Daddy Sang Bass" with Stevie as Daddy and Stuart as Mama, or, more realistically, b)They play the song "Belle and Sebastian." I know it's a simple song, but it's my favourite, and, after all, it IS their title track! Subsection B.i.: Neil and the News Yes, the version of "Baby Love" or whatever it's called to commemorate the birth of Mr. Neil's child was quite adorable. I hope I've never said anything bad about Neil in the past, because if I did I would be a terrible person. Way to go on the babymaking. Clause C: The State Theatre Oh la la! C'est vraiment B*Y*Z*A*N*C*E! Except when the lights turn on and you see the peeling paint. NO no, it was really a cute the-ay-tur. Subsection C.i.: What was the purpose of the wristband? Because if it was to designate minors it didn't seem to work. I had the same "band placement" as my very much older friends, and yet I am not, as the Casino security guards can attest, 21. Maybe the bouncery guy gave me the benefit of the 5 month doubt. Subsection C.ii.: To the adorable to the point of envy-making couple who sat in front of me, I'm really sorry I made you switch seats. I'm not usually so bastardy, but I was gripped with some irrational compulsion to have my line-of-sight perfect. Bad comments about Neil or not, perhaps I AM a terrible person. Clause D: Give the People the Bip Bop! Yes, Stevie's dancing is quite out of this world isn't it? It had a tendency to look like he was being attacked by something, but it was all very charming nonetheless. But why was no one in the crowd moving? I mean, God knows I hate dancing, but I expected something. Instead I had to be content with some odd hippity-hoppity-ing in my seat as I sang along. Subsection D.i.: It's actually quite hard to sing along to these songs when you can't get the song "It's my Life" by Talk Talk out of your head. Somewhat disappointing on my part. Clause E: The Great Crossing Yes, about this border security business, I thought the levels of awareness were supposed to have been ridiculously high. I was expecting to have to give blood at the border just to get in. Instead, we discovered that it was like the 1989 levels of security. They didn't ask us anything!!!! I felt so...cheated. I wanted to be interrogated. All we got was the bastardy guy on the way home ("Oh, you WATCHED a concert did you, you didn't GO to the concert?" Shut the fuck up, punk, you KNOW what we MEANT!!!!!!!) Furthermore, is the question "Do you have any firearms?" really valid? I mean, how many people do they expect will say, "Actually, sir, I have several sawed-off shotguns in my trunk. Is that some sort of problem for you?" Clause F: Busriding for a Hobby, but NOT by Choice Yes, even though I only live 3 hours from Detroit, I spent 6 hours on buses today, so that we could stop in every hick town in rural Ontario for NO ONE TO GET ON OR OFF!!!!!! Argh! After about the fourth hour this skid sitting next to me asked me what I was reading. After several more questions he became very agitated to discover that Evelyn Waugh is no lady. "WHat the hell kinda name is Evelyn for a boy??" I was half-tempted to inform said skid that Mr. Waugh's first wife's name was also Evelyn, but I didn't want to worry the poor man.....plus I never wanted to talk to him in the first place. So, such is my transmission. I really did enjoy the show, and I hope everyone who gets to their shows had just as fun a time as I did. Seeing my favourite band live completely restored my faith in my musical tastes. And to think I almost backed out of attending the concert..... Anyway, thanks for sticking with me, and take care, everyone. Yours, byzanciliciously, Marybeth +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

All you lucky dogs that are making me drool on my keyboard... it's not fair! OK, I think I'll live. Just wanted to get that out of my system. Working in a library, one discovers just how much crap the average smalltown house wife really reads... it's amazing! Shelf after shelf of romances and cooking-themed mysteries (I am am completely serious... sample title "Ham and Eggs: a theatrical murder mystery" and there are worse). Job for the day: find all the crap that people do NOT read, and take it off the shelves. I keep getting dirty looks from old women who probably think that I am an escaped mental patient, just trying to ruin their library enjoyment (is there such a thing?) for the day, as I am doing exactly the opposite of what I am supposed to. I love libraries and books - just when I don't have to work there, and have to deal with other people's messes (can no one put anything back??? stacks of romances {read by 70 year olds!!!! Why? oh, please Lord don't put those pictures into my head} strewn across the walkways!) Stupid women. Amazing fact... people in small towns read ONLY the crap! I have now pulled off the shelves because of lack of use: Wuthering Heights, most of the collected works of Charles Dickens (Great Expectations was last out of this hellhole in 1978), and the essays of Emile Zola, among others. And these books are going in the sale bin, or the garbage, to make room for more cooking mysteries! If you want to read anything in this town, you have to either buy it (which I do not have the money for :P) or Inter-Library Loan it from some place across the state (and sometimes from across the country). Sad. *And the girl with her nose in a book begins weeping, quietly so as not to disturb the old women choosing their erotic pleasures* Whooo. That was a good rant. Sorry. Oops, I have one more that is getting to me. I actually bought "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenence", as the entire world has told me how good it is ("Ann... if you love the Dharma Bums, you'll die for Zen") IT SUCKS!! BAD! I quit after the first 100 pages! Why does anyone read this? Any of you out there that like it? Can you explain the attraction, Please??? I really would like to know! And here's my requisite B&S content: what the hell does the lyrics "she can't afford to please a girl / she's always wearing clogs" meand?? What is up with clogs??? Love the song... am clueless about that line. Three cheers for anyone who actually read to the bottom of this painful thing. Ann PS: it is a indication of an awfully sad mind to be ecstatically happy when one of your lines is included in "EE Fumblings Weekly Roundup"?? EE, I love you! _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

After twenty four years of inhabiting my life I know perfectly well what my problems are: none of my crushes have ever turned out like the one in Amelie; chocolate neither clears my complexion, enhances my intelligence, or blesses me with flawless health; and even though turn signals are supposedly installed in every car - people still mistake their presence as merely ornamental or to distract their obnoxious offspring from killing each other by turning on the pretty flashing lights. Surprisingly enough, these are never the points brought up. No, instead I hear things about being "responsible" or "more obedient" or "not publicly admitting a fascination with leatherclad midgets on ponies." Thus, when Pigtails sent along the second sinister questionnaire for list members to fill out and return to be compiled for secretive nefarious reasons such as being a list for the NME mailing list I was all set to mend my ways and follow along as I should. Sackcloth? Check! Ashes? Check! Broken Heart & Contrite Spirit? How about just a broken spirit? Close enough! However, shortly after I began to fill out the questionnaire my mind began to wander. (One of my other supposed "problems" is being a "Ritalin prescription waiting to be written.") I really did try but thirty questions overwhelmed me. Being a southerner, I was always taught that if things aren't the way you like them you simply stand tall, put your chin in the air, dress up in gray, secede from the Union, and go fight the bloodiest war in your country's history. I'm a bit too lazy for anything but the chin part so instead I simply made a new questionnaire with the help of the Notorious B.O.Y. G. Respond personally to me or Greg (gpallis at eidosnet.co.uk) rather than the list. We'll compile them into something Fun! Exciting! and involving Sparkling Jell-O and Pixie Sticks! Presenting in all it's (old) glory: The Greg & Laura's Snappy Rebel Questionnaire With A Fresh Lemony Scent 1. Your name (as it appears on your credit cards with accompanying numbers and expiration dates.): 2. Names Which Have Nicked: Shameful, embarrassing, llewd, smutty, or interesting nicknames? 3. What Belle & Sebastian lyric most describes you? [Laura's: "too frumpy for the teenage population of her time" Greg's sidenote: Do remember that it's the one that describes you MOST, not entirely, so you can put "A girl" if you can't think of a better one. If all else fails use my motto in life and quote fosca lyrics. No one will know the difference. "Still you're prejudiced against people who loathe football/ Or refuse flat-out to sport sideburns, they'd simply DIE"] 4. Your first kiss can be best described as: A. Not ducking quickly enough. B. More miss than kiss. More teeth than mouth. More tongue than Kiss. More drool than Lassie. More traumatic than Mentos commercials. C. Still happening -- though I wish they'd move their head a bit to the right so I could see the screen better. D. Other. Explain: 5. Describe your life and your favorite novel in the same sentence. i.e. - "It doesn't make much sense, but neither does Fennigan's Wake." (Matthew Henderson) 6. What is your favorite movie while relating it to an aspect of your personality or taste. i.e. - I like my men like I like my Die Hard movies -- all special effects and no plot. OPTIONAL (because we would really like to read the answers) 7. "Write ONE SIDE of a dialogue which leads to and includes you getting jiggy with your favorite band. Even if you don't fancy them. Example: Hey Tim! Great show! I'm Greg. Uh-huh... This IS a bit forward. No, no, let me think. Alright. Yes. (Later) Um, right. No, me neither. This is kinda weird. Also, awkward. So... 8. With frequent reference to the Basic Eight OR Lemony Snicket, analyze why you are filling in this survey instead out of hanging out with attractive and popular people. 9. Yesterday was mother's day (in the US). Did you send Honey & Linda a card for being the best list mummy and step list mummy? If not, are you prepared to burn in hell for your thoughtlessness and general lack or regard for greatness when it's looming over you? If so, will you let me stand behind you to block the heat - I sweat easily and it's simply unbecoming. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: hello sinister. she's lying in a bed somewhere in charlotte, north carolina, right now, her face on a pillow, the pillowcase slowly and quietly gathering the scent of her hair between its woven fibers, grabbing, holding. when she leaves, it will smell just like the pillow at home, and she knows the scent soothes her daughters. she is sleeping, or so i hear, exhausted from the strain and the morphine. the stitches curl around her jaw and up into her cheek, a soft and undulating line probably traversed many times by her husband's fingertips. her twenty-year-old daughter sat in a car tonight and wondered if the scars of a mother really do pass on to the daughter, if the younger version will always think of the mother's scar she has yet to see when a boy traces the line of her cheekbone. the daughter is me, and the mother is mine. tonight, after day talking to everyone else but her, i heard her voice again, the sound of her swollen mouth taking the time to curve through the syllables of my name. she will be home on tuesday, and i told her i loved her. i told her happy mother's day. *** i was the last to know about the accident. matt got the call on his dying mobile, and i stood in the mist on a street in chicago, ken and jenn having just left, the whole world stretched out before me in dingy grays, holding a phone, dialing, trying to find out what had happened. she fell in the hotel, the granite bathroom vanity. forty stitches outside, fifty to sixty inside. teeth. scars. surgery. when it happened, i had a dead battery and press passes. *** "isn't it scary that i'm already thinking about the post i'm going to write about this?" "yes." this isn't that post. *** i sat in the theater, waiting for the band to come out. i felt terribly ill, and all i really wanted was to lie my rain-tainted brow against a hotel pillow and sleep. something was wrong -- a million things were wrong and right at the same time, and waiting for belle became memorizing every inch of the crowd below me, grasping scents and sights and sounds and straws. i thought about the city and sinister, how i was too nauseated to smoke at that minute and how i had had too many cigarettes the day before. i shut my eyes for a moment, picking idly at my fingernail, tired of waiting, for once, and tired of being keyed up. and then they came, and by the time they got to the state i am in, i was fine. i was. dancing. in some kind of fashion, anyway. *** tomorrow i will go home, to my proper home. and i will prepare, then, for the homecoming. dusting and grocery shopping and flowers and flowers. i must get her flowers. sunday morning kirsten and bron left, and i found something on the floor near my bag. something of theirs, i assume, a poem. and the paper smelled wonderful, as i sat there between two boys and a misty window reading. and i fell in love with another line, another lyric, another stream of words: when did you forget you were a flower? i forgot she was a flower, and she had to have petals torn away for me to remember. but i remember now, the scent and the softness and the way she makes the way make sense. the way she lights is mine, and i am sentimental, weeping intermittantly so that i have a curving line of black down my own cheeks, a memory and a sound and a bruise to conceal with heavy makeup. and so happy mother's day. and so i saw belle and sebastian. and so i met sini. and so there was a boy. and so thank you kirsten and bron. and so this is the post. and so i cried. i always cry at endings. xxx lou _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

DETROIT upon arrival, kimmy and immediately abandoned the boys to make our way toward the stage, unknowingly parking ourselves about two people away from genevieve and paul, of twirly-light-up-"mick&stevierock"-sign fame. a very nice tall boy moved us in front of him so he could see. i returned the favor when i saw a girl who was Actually Shorter Than I Am. anyway, slumber party opened, and i've never really given them much though, despite my frequent bitching about the lack of local girl bands. but friday night made a slumber party fan of me! b&s played a long set -- like two hours. two of my favorite songs (loneliness... and simplethings) were played. there was a great little interlude where stuart announced that neil's wife had a baby that morning (congrats again, neil): champagne was passed around and "baby love" was sung by the band. during all this commotion, christiaan pushed his way up to me to announce that ken chu was outside and ticketless! i produced my extra two tickets, which i was holding on to explicitly for this purpose, and christiaan rescued ken, who had driven all the way from chicago ALONE. christiaan needed both tickets because the venue would not let him back in even though they Saw that all he did was hand ken a ticket and come back in, arrrgh! but all was well and the second half of the set was amazing, too. the encore included a zombies cover (well worth it to hear stuart say "who's yr daddy" in any context) i was all tuckered out by the encore, though, and ended up listening to the last song of the encore (get me away from here, i'm dying) while in the ladies' restroom downstairs. good PA system, that theatre. an amazing show was followed by a pretty darn good after-party, dj-ed by a local scenester and then chrisgeddes. kimmy and i danced our arses off, a little starstruck when stevie danced next to us for a good long while. i'm afraid we may have giggled and exchanged Meaningful Looks, furtively looking over and trying not to look like we were staring at famous people or some such. heh. CHICAGO christiaan and i arrived at the pick-me-up cafe just as everyone else was leaving. figures. so, after some dinner, we joined sugarmice dave, kirstin kenyon, bron, and mandee at a bar around the corner, our poison of choice being diet coke and some expensive cigarettes. they, however, had become quite intimate with the bartender and the pabst-blue-ribbon. we dragged them, kicking and screaming, from the Reflections Lounge and threw them into the back seat of my car, all the while telling them that it was for their own good and that they would thank us later. christiaan and i parked ourselves in the back of the theatre where we had a view of the whole stage. the show was amazing again, although it was odd to be in the back with the considerably less zealous fans. my handclaps seemed to be out of place. but no matter, because christiaan danced with me (a little), and the band finished up with "the boys are back in town." LATER now it is monday, and i am at work. damn. it feels a bit like the day after christmas, or yr birthday. but i'm still a bit glow-y and grinning. um, happy mother's day, a bit late, honey! mwah! xo, ree ===== ......................................... ."to me she was just marie." -mersault . . . . http://home.earthlink.net/~marieelia . ......................................... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

But this morning i thought of two things that could be interesting for atleast some of you and i think you could use them in a nice combination tonight so i guess i have to try and write them down. Nettlescones with tea and Belle & Sebastian 4dl flour just a little salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 50g butter 2dl milk as much stinging nettles as you want (be generous with them they gives a nice green color) Wash the nettles and put them in boiling water for 1-2min. When they are soft take them out of the water and chop them so you get a "nettleporridge". Mix flour salt and baking powder and mix in the the butter before the milk and nettles. Make some nice scones shaped things and put them in an oven 10-15min 250C. Make some (camomile)tea while they are in the oven and eat them hot, they are good with goat cheese. Then for those like me who didn't see Belle & Sebastian in Stockholm this year and for those who where there and want to hear it again it's on P3 live (swedish radio) 21.03 tonight: http://www.sr.se/p3/index.stm Kram Katta +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Here's the recent evidence....... 4th May issue, page 10: "NME remembers fondly the olden days, when ATP was known as Bowlie and presented an opportunity for socially inexperienced Belle & Sebastian fans to leave home - many for the first time - and meet like minded youngsters." (they conveniently ommited the 'and stuff us at football' bit) 4th May issue, page 41: (Review of The Chemistry Experiment single 'Round The Corner Dutch Zebra') "Claiming on the press release to be a cross between the Sugarbabes and The Magnetic Fields, this is in fact so schmindie it makes Belle & Sebastian sound like Jay-Z." 11th May issue, page 14: (Coachella Review) "Belle & Sebastian, Outdoor Theatre, Sunday. Until Slipknot record an acoustic version of Lionel Ritchie's 'Hello' there'll be nothing - nothing - odder than the sight of these pale wastrels performing in the blazing California sunshine framed by palm trees. With Stuart Murdoch joking and kicking a football around, the atmosphere is so relaxed and chatty that it's in danger of resembling a church fete, but the sheer quality of Murdoch's perfomance annihilates the idea that this is mere community service. Although Isobel Campbell's gossamer warble is absent, tonight B&S reaffirm their position as standard beareres for the self-consciously dispossessed. Or indeed anyone with a heart." Ah, there's nothing quite like content, 'specially when it's nicked. Tune in same time next week, or sooner, or later, for your next bulletin. Or don't.

Message-ID: Hello mon petite sinistriets... This is one of those posts that I guess breaks all the rules but I have been thinking of the fair sinister land and I couldn't help but saying hello! At this very moment I am listening on Lamacq Live The Hives gig that I had tickets to go to but I didn't, the one in Brixton...at least I am listening to it but you know how it is being there and shaking da bootie. In 2 weeks I will have finished university. That feels weird I say. I remember when I first cam hear and all of you in Sinister were the receivers of all of my loneliness. A stranger in a strange place I was. What a weird year my first year in tropical Dudley-don't laugh!- was. Two years and I have moved to Birmingham-does that count as an upgrade? I am two weeks from completing my academic dream and I have reached that point where after you have finished all the linguistic analyses in the world and have seen many films and thought about them a lot, then you kind of sit quietly in the corner and think:" who the &*£% cares?". I don't...I just want to go on holiday!!! The Hives have so much energy! My god...I am sad I have missed them along with Jon Spencer and International Noise Conspiray. Now, I heard about this new band called the Yeah yeah yeahs...anyone knows anything? I mean you can always get stuff on the net etc but I would appreciate an opinion... So anyway, 2 weeks. Then on June 2 Mr.Scruff and June 3 between 1-1:30pm I will be singing All You Need Is Love very loudly. For more info on that , you British listees , go to the BBC site- I haven't talked about this before, have I ?

Well done that chap. Beware, the child will probably grow up to venerate Marilyn Manson, who by that time will be a grand old man(thing) of rock. Or at least a talk show host. Jeez, I wish the subjunctive mood was easier to spot in English. The southern US shows seem to have been a riot (in the nicest sense). Nice reportings back, you lucky ducks. Not to say that getting down with the Brixton masseev wasn�t �all that�, because it was, steel drums and all. Ooh, when my plot to marry an elderly millionaire with a severe heart complaint comes to fruition, in my extensively stocked music room there will be a full steel band as well as a harpsichord. And THEN the mice will play. So, did anyone else spend the weekend buying sandals and feverishly reading Emily Dickinson? She has nothing in particular to say on the subject of summery footwear, but here�s something interesting: �If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire ever can warm me I know _that_ is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know _that_ is poetry.� There ain't nothing like a literary junkie � just ask William Burroughs. Not to mention a musical one, of which fraternity I�m certainly a card-carrying member. �Songs, built like temporary shelters, contain music and words.� Ian McMillan Whether it be the urge to partake in a good bout of cathartic schadenfreude or a simple wish to wrap up feelings in a blanket of other people�s creative output, it is true that a song is like a stout hat. Preferably one in a nice loud tweed. Speaking of which, this week I have been mostly wearing a nice herringbone skirt over my pinstripe trews. Overkill on the garment front? I think not. Archel very kindly referred to me as �luscious�, a term that while flattering does make me feel akin to an overripe peach. Which is fair enough. Is there anyone enforcing the body parts rule at present? To be on the safe side, shy people never mention any of your own flesh to avoid having to place a picture of the named item in Princess Honey�s slightly persipiration-slick hands. Although web promulgation wouldn�t follow at the moment due to unhappiness at nodata.org? Gah. Adieu and farewell to you sweet Spanish ladies. Tara a bit.

There is NO WAY you can catch a virus from the list - this message has come from someone who has both sinister and you in their address book. It randomly picks one address to send the virus from and another to send it to. Very friendly. Mails from the sinister list will not contain attachments, so be very wary of any which do.

Message-ID: these things have happened. i listened to some of the songs on storytelling and wasn't as excited as i expected to be. i found and lost a job. i went out of the house and came back again, many times. i rode on trams and looked out the window, my eyes focused on the middle distance. i booked tickets to sydney and new york and london and wondered if i should go. i flirted for hours with a computer programmer and because i have not flirted in a while i felt uncomfortably alive. i ate tibetan white tara cakes, which my sister made. white tara cakes are supposed to be made by monks wearing white, meditating on absolute purity. everything in them is white except for the honey. the cakes should be blessed with all the qualities of tara, peace and benevolence and compassion. but ours weren't blessed. we sat around the kitchen table and ate them with chocolate spread. there's a david shrigley cartoon which has 2 columns: one labelled "things i should have paid attention to," the other "things i actually paid attention too." (again, paraphrasing). when i should have been paying attention to Big Things, Important Things, decisions which, if botched, would fundamentally alter the course of my life, these are the things i paid attention to: the sour pollution smell which came in the window a couple of days ago, took up residence in the house and wouldn't leave slo-motion shots of skiing accidents on tv - bodies drifting through the air with balletic grace and slow cold clouds of powder snow rising up behind them two birds following each other across the darkening sky. love to all sophia 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.

I think last time I promised that I'd write a proper post, having singularly failed to do so, but this isn't it. Sorry. However, this is an open invitation to all London-based (or nearby) sinisterines to join the sinisterfitba mailing list, which has transformed this spring into an impressively active, get-up-and-go kinda thing. Basically, all we do is arrange football matches on weekends, just among ourselves, but it's a great laugh and (gasp) good exercise. As I haven't mentioned it in a while, this will hopefully act as a reminder for some and a source of info for newcomers. We also tend to end up having a pint at the Spreadeagle in Camden afterwards, as all good Sinister folk should :-) Details of how to join the sinisterfitba group can be found at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sinisterfitba/ - as can details of the next game, on Sunday afternoon at 3pm on Primrose Hill! We play on the flat area to the left of the summit of the hill as you approach from Chalk Farm or Camden, just down from the brow. This is where we always play if you've ever been to a picnic. We also never seem to have enough girls playing, so if you fancy yourself (or, indeed, if we would fancy you :-)) come along and show us how it's done. Hope to see you there! Mark xxx p.s. Ken Chu is a regular attendee. Rowr. p.p.s. the core of the team who WON the ATP 5-a-side tournament plays sinisterfitba. If that isn't the most impressive thing in the world, I don't know what is. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I know, I've been quiet recently. Yet again I've been hiding in the shadows, peeking my head out occasionally from munching Haribo at the back with the cute boy with the mohican to send a few of you emails and go drinking with you and have conversations about chair orgies and watching *some* of you (not that I''m mentioning any names....noooo) then go on to play some serious chair gymnastics. So it goes, I've not meant to be this quiet, honest. Just I was back at home in Manchester over Easter 'angin' with the Manchester Sinister Maaaaasssssiiiiivvveeee (Hello you lot, especially Ben App's Bro-proof if it was ever needed that sibling rivalry is alive and well in that family from what I heard when we went to see Belle and Sebastian at the Apollo) and back working at the Cornerhouse with a computer which for reasons best known to itself would not let me post to Sinister. Oh how I tried! I did have a lovely gig report from Manchester to send to you, but no doubt you've heard more than enough about all that for now, so all I will say is reports of my violent streak have been greatly exaggerated. Honest. So, now I 'm back in London, not eating a chicken and in the midst of exams (Two down-one to go. Lucky me, huh?) and trying to find a house. For some reason, this endeavor which seemed relatively simple when first thought about has now turned into the most mammoth task of my life with people arguing about what area they want to live in, where they might be over the Summer and all sorts of craziness ensuing. The way it's going, I think I may just become a mad bag-lady and live in a box outside Camden tube station and drink Diamond White all day and hope that some nice person may come along and buy me records occasionally. When I told this to the boy in the tree, he just laughed and said I already was a mad bag-lady half the time and had nothing to worry about. He wants me to go and live with him in Carlisle where there's a nice castle we had a picnic near the last time I went to stay with him and we got drunk, watched Blade 2 and had a disco in his flat in honour of the fact that the Queen Mother had died. Everyone kind of wants me to go everywhere at the moment really which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Cay's grand tour if you will, stopping at Cardiff, Carlisle and Derry along the way. Book tickets for your meeting with her now if you will. Oh yeah, and I'm working at a Wetherspoons in Whitehall now too if any of you lot fancy coming in to visit me and laugh at the fact that even though I swore I would never EVER work for a big company where the managing director sports a snappy mullet (I kid you not Popkids) after the few months where I was a Debenhams Mod, I've somehow managed to end up working in a pub where I can't shake my all-new-improved-Liza-Minelli-whenshewasinCabaret-fringe and get down with the funky beat whenever the will takes me (or at least, that's what I'm leading them to believe-just wait until my last night there....hehehehehe). It's not too bad I suppose, they let me look like a badly dressed Mod if nothing else, and sabotage from within is always the best way I suppose. I just hate having to smile and act like a moron for a living. (Oh well, there is always the added irony the day after I got the job there I ended up getting rat-arsed with a load of Polish and Icelandic people to the point where I don't really remember getting back to Camden all that well....) Is this too much of a diary entry? If so, I apologise, there is supposed to be some content in here...oooh, here we go. I am impressed by the amount of covers that the glorious Belle and Seb are managing to pull off. Someone somewhere should make a bootleg CD of them all. I know I'd buy it, if only for their version of "I am the resurrection" in Manchester. I rung the boy in the tree when they were doing it and held my mobile up so he could hear it, and bless him, I could hear him singing along to all the words. Was very sweet. And they've converted me to the Stone Roses now, as I was forced to go home and nick my wee bro's Stone Roses album and realise how good that version is too. I've never really been a Stone Roses girl, I mean what with being from Manchester and all, I've never seen the point of buying the albums when all I have to do is go to some silly 15 year-old-nu-metal-"Indie Kid because they like the Stereophonics and Travis" (If you like these bands, I really don't mean to offend. Insert band name here if you know what I mean)-club and hear them practically play the whole album and watch spotty teenagers try to act like Ian Brown. Then I came to London and went out and saw silly Southern grown Indie Men lurching around the dancefloor when they played the Stone Roses pretending to be Northern and realised the sillyness of the whole situation and decided that all could be forgiven. There's a song on my walkman now, some old Northern Soul tune about how some woman likes London in the rain. I don't. It makes the bus drivers behave more like madmen then they do already and messes up my hair when I'm walking home from Sainsbury's. Archel is better than Ian, just because of her tactics with everything sado-masochistic or otherwise he launches through the windows at her, and because she organises wicked Brighton picnics. Someone, (think it may have been Rob) was wondering about where the Poetry Parrot had gone to and the ever-wonderful Liz Dappers always includes poetry in her wonderous posts, so I thought I'd make a forey with something I found. It's by Charles Bukowski and I know that someone has posted it before, but it's so lovely and sad I can't help posting it again, just in case no one's ever seen it. And it's something I can relate to, being in love with someone even though you've never met them, or even seen them, but you're in love with their voice and their words regardless. It's called "An Almost Made-Up Poem" An Almost Made-Up Poem I see you drinking at a fountain with tiny blue hands, no, your hands are not tiny they are small, and the fountain is in France where you wrote me that last letter and I answered and never heard from you again. you used to write insane poems about ANGELS AND GOD, all in upper case, and you knew famous artists and most of them were your lovers, and I wrote back, itÂ’s all right, go ahead, enter their lives, IÂ’m not jealous because weÂ’ve never met. we got close once in New Orleans, one half block, but never met, never touched. so you went with the famous and wrote about the famous, and, of course, what you found out is that the famous are worried about their fame –– not the beautiful young girl in bed with them, who gives them that, and then awakens in the morning to write upper case poems about ANGELS AND GOD. we know God is dead, theyÂ’ve told us, but listening to you I wasnÂ’t sure. maybe it was the upper case. you were one of the best female poets and I told the publishers, editors, “print her, print her, sheÂ’s mad but sheÂ’s magic. thereÂ’s no lie in her fire.” I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of. I would have loved you more if I had sat in a small room rolling a cigarette and listened to you piss in the bathroom, but that didnÂ’t happen. your letters got sadder. your lovers betrayed you. kid, I wrote back, all lovers betray. it didnÂ’t help. you said you had a crying bench and it was by a bridge and the bridge was over a river and you sat on the crying bench every night and wept for the lovers who had hurt and forgotten you. I wrote back but never heard again. a friend wrote me of your suicide 3 or 4 months after it happened. if I had met you I would probably have been unfair to you or you to me. it was best like this.

This is Part II. After a day off before the Detroit show I am dropped off to visit my grandparents in Troy. Grandparents are approaching 90 and don't get too see me so much so it was nice to see them for a bit, even though unfortunately I missed the Ann Arbor picnic. This too bad because in Michigan the weather was sunny, windy and gorgeous. Unlike in Chicago where there are flood warnings and no chance of a picnic. Feeling a bit nervous driving into Detroit because that's where my Papa grew up and insists on scaring me half to death with horror stories. It was fine though, apart from the bizarre steam rising from every sewer. Maybe it's more of a Dad thing to ensure proper behavior. Anyways, the State Theatre was absolutely gorgeous and very posh, incense in the girl's (painted pink!) bathroom. Plus, all the security guards called me "baby girl" which was nice. 10 May 2002 Detroit Fuck This Shit There's Too Much Love Woman's Realm Waking Up To Us Wandering Alone If You're Feeling Sinister String Bean Jean Seymour Stein The Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner The Model Babylove cover Simple Things The Boy With The Arab Strap Fox In The Snow Don't Leave The Light On Put The Book Back On The Shelf Like Dylan In The Movies The Wrong Girl Dirty Dream #2 Encore: Time of The Season Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying The Detroit show is better than Montreal and Toronto.

He said he didn't understand all the fighting in hockey. I'm in my familiar spot of being up front and right. These cute twins are to the left of me. Struan asks if they know each other and then invites them onstage to help out for Dirty Dream #2 and they dance up a storm. There is dramatic moment when tour manager Neil (a cutie by the way, but evidently not the Neil that we all know on this list) is congratulated on the birth of his daughter Annabelle. Champagne is divided on stage and one bottle is given to the audience. Sadly, the bottle never quite makes it to me. Paul waves his swirly light, now programmed at my urging MICK AND STEVIE ROCK (Actually, I wanted 'STEVIE IS A ROCK GOD' but Paul said I'd have to spin that one). Paul calls out for more Rush and Struan says 'not you again!'. Mick manages to read the lights and gives up a thumbs up. I was so pleased they did an encore, I know it's not their thing, but you still feel a bit unloved when the lights go up immediately and the roadies attack all the equipments within seconds of walking off. Time of The Season was great. I love Stevie's psychedelic dancing. Didn't Struan once say that him and Stevie were stuck in the 60's and didn't care? We went to the after party, this warehouse out in the middle of nowhere. I was worried because a schoolfriend I've known since I was 7 was supposed to show up so I could stay with here. I drink too much cheap watered down beer and then, suddenly, I see KEN CHU in front of me! It felt so good to finally recognize someone else in the crowd of stylish boys and girls. Chris spins a fantastic set, lovely old soul records. We never have any clubs that play that in Ottawa. All of the band members are there in the corner except Struan who is probably getting a good night's sleep. My schoolfriend finally appears! I am overjoyed. She doesn't know B&S really, but kept seeing all these boys from highschool that she had crushes on which was amusing. Had their hair styles improved? She kept daring me to speak to Mick, but there was always some girl by his side, deep in conversation. The music is great though, and I am more than content to dance with Ken and my friend Amanda in the corner where the band is. Some random boys hug me saying they love Canadians. A lot of people are not sure where Ottawa is. Some girls from Toledo are amused by my 'ehs?' in conversation. That cutie Ree shows up with Amy and the Alabama boyz so there is a good Sinister front. The Dirty Dream#2 dancing twins also make an appearance. Stevie runs to the middle of the room with Richard to dance for a few minutes. That boy loves to dance. After I'd been leaning on the wall next to Stevie for a while I finally shake his hand and tell him how amazing he's been at shows and then leave for Ann Arbor with the CHU. Falling asleep at 4 in the morning, we wake up early to make it to Chicago by noon. I am amazed at Ken Chu's speed. He zips down the I94 and we are in Chicago in record time. There are amusing billboards on the way. My favourites: "KNOW JESUS, KNOW LIFE. NO JESUS, NO LIFE" and "THERE ARE 10 THINGS CARVED IN STONE --- GOD " 11 May 2002 Chicago Fuck This Shit Dirty Dream #2 Woman's Realm Waking Up To Us Wandering Alone The State I am In Dylan In The Movies Jonathan David Don't Leave The Light On Seeing Other People Judy Is A Dickslap Judy And The Dream of Horses The Boy With The Arab Strap You Made Me Forget MY Dreams The Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner Dog On Wheels The Wrong Girl There's Too Much Love Legal Man The Boys Are Back In Town cover Paul, Ken and me go over to the lovely sinisterine JennPB's gorgeous place. It is raining like a bitch so there is no chance of a picnic so we head over the Pick Me Up Cafe instead. There's a large group of sinister kids that grows by the minute. This list is getting so big now my poor old brain can't remember all the names. We were a bit tired from the previous shows and my voice was near to gone, but I realized it was the lovely Mandee sitting at the cafe. It wasn't until later that I found out the sweet girl next to her was Kirsten! I heard their drunken, giggly voices later on at the show shouting out their adoration for Mick Cooke, We love Mick! Yeahhhh Mick! I tried to shout out my appreciation for Stevie but by this time, all I could manage was a quiet STEE! Struan receives a lot of shouts. The cute twins were to the left of me again and Struan recognized them instantly and brought them up again to dance, giving them hats at the end as well. Struan and Stevie did a little Abba style movement during Jonathan David. Judy Is A Dickslap, which Struan had said they never did live, was perfect. Their cover of The Boys Are Back In Town made me feel like my 12 year old self when I saw a Blur or Ash music video. It was so...THE BOYS and only the boys! Belfast Bob seemed made to play that song. Throughout most of the shows he was pretty quiet, hiding in the shadows and going off for cigarettes. The boys completely rocked out, even Chris ran around stage playing air guitar. Paul was completely exhausted so unfortunately I couldn't attend any after show mischief, even with the tempting lure of 50 year old barmaids named Sheri. Oh well, at least I got to sleep with the famous CHU back at the sweet and hospitable Jenn's, and hopefully have captured some of his magic. There was also a dramatic moment with a marriage proposal, I'd met the couple only a few hours before at the cafe, so it was surreal to see that, congratulations Colin and Amy! If I gave you a detailed song report it would leave this mail even longer than it is. There was never ever a bad song performed, and I am completely overwhelmed by their sheer talent as musicians. It is something you really appreciate once you see them live. Everyone switches around instruments, the versatility is amazing. I can understand this annoyance with their twee feyness that the press likes to criticize them for, because it is obvious that they totally ROCK OUT more than anything else. A lot of songs that were merely okay to me on the record simply come alive onstage. Legal Man especially. They bring out these little shakers, sticks and the psychedelic lights. Stevie gives us some theatrics and drops to his knees and sings and points. I don't understand these reports of the crowd not dancing, where I was standing, every night, everyone around me was dancing! Granted, as much movement as humanely possible when you're all smushed together. I have long hair so I have to be careful it doesn't look like I'm headbanging with my dancing, especially next to all those delicate and stylish kids! I think the other thing I realize is how important the other members are in addition to Struan. Some more favourite bits....The Middle Distance runner was fantastic every time. I loved watching Mick dance and his trumpet bits were soooo good live. The Boy With The Arab Strap was a crowd pleaser every time with the hand claps, but also Woman's Realm. At first I thought Chris was doing a weird techno one armed dance until I realized he was shaking a wooden egg thing. Stevie's songs were amazing, the Wrong Girl and Wandering Alone with the great flamenco style handclaps. Paul thinks Stevie plays just like a young Paul McCartney. Paul is almost like a B&S groupie now, knowing all their names. The car ride leaving Ottawa had mostly FLOYD on the stereo, but going back it was mostly B&S. I'm glad they played some of my favourite songs from the Storytelling album, especially the high energy, but short, Scooby Driver. Last night I dreamed they played that Suite Judy Blue Eyes with all the boys harmonizing during the doo de doo de doo bits. I hope everyone has a great time for the rest of the shows, and hello to all the kind people I met on the way. So now I have even more excitement in my life, I'm only back in Canada for a few days before I leave for Scotland to live with a family as an au-pair. I'll be in Winchburgh, which is apparently very close to Edinburgh, even though no Scottish person I know seems to have heard of it! So if you have meet ups and things, (even if they are in London because I'll be taking some trips up there as I only had a small glimpse of the city before) please let me know as I've never lived away from home before and I'll probably get a bit lonely, so please be a dear and email me. Love, Genevieve p.s I'm very bad but I owe some people some tapes from like months ago. I promise they will be sent soon. I haven't forgotten! _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Time for REPORTING BACK. Although I am sad to see my mini-trip of Belle and Sebastian it is nice to be back in the land where the only thing anyone cares about is the 7th game in Toronto tomorrow. Oddly, I will only be here for a few days before I leave for Scotland. The rain seems to have followed me from Chicago, it's Tuesday and STILL RAINING. I'm sure the rain will continue to follow me to Scotland as well. Perhaps some of you are bit overwhelmed with all these tour reports but hell, it's my time to live baby! I might confuse some details with other shows, so forgive me. 7 May 2002 Montreal Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie Dirty Dream #2 Magic of a Kind Word Waking Up To Us I Love My Car Consuelo Leaving Scooby Driver Stars of Track And Field The Model Leonard Cohen song I Could Be Dreaming The Boy With The Arab Strap Slow Graffiti Family Tree I Know Where The Summer Goes Dog On Wheels The Wrong Girl There's Too Much Love Legal Man There was that rush and slight nauseous feeling in my stomach before they came on stage. So excited! I get up to the front but very far right so Mick is right in front of me. Gorgeous Struan in tight slacks and tight "I'm With Them" arrow t-shirt. He must be aware of the notoriety of his arms. Before playing 'I Love My Car' announced that it was their prog number. Struan says they play a game in the bus naming Rush albums. Struan tells a story of a rat in Montreal chasing him down the street as he was late for the show. My appreciation for Stevie and Mick increases a million times. Stevie is a very funny guy, his awkward movements, pushing glasses up on nose, and witty onstage banter. He starts talking about journalists and does his impression of a London journalist holding beer, grumbling "fucking twee pop, play some fucking rock". Struan tries to speak a little bit of French and updates the audience on the Habs score. I love Mick's dancing so much, the little sway and handclaps. Sarah sang a Leonard Cohen song that was absolutely lovely. 8 May 2002 Toronto The State I Am In Sleep The Clock Around Wandering Alone Dylan In The Movies She's Losing It Dirty Dream #2 Fuck This Shit Seymour Stein The Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner Waking Up To Us Satisfaction cover Magic of a Kind Word The Boy With The Arab Strap We Rule The School Family Tree Put The Book Back On The Shelf String Bean Jean The Wrong Girl Woman's Realm Legal Man Me And The Major In Toronto it is freezing waiting outside in the line-up. My voice was starting to go a bit in Montreal and it's getting worse. By Chicago I will sound like a 70 year old woman who smokes 5 packs of Marlboros a day. Kool Haus is unlike the other theatre style venues, it's just a big warehouse style room. The Aisler set open again, very nice. The bassist always smiles. Again, I get up to the front far right. Struan originally wearing a little jacket and bundled up scarf. Paul has this little laser thing you can twirl around and the words show up in a circle, so he programmed BELLE AND SEBASTIAN to light up. Struan notices this, comes right down (so close!) and takes it, asks for the house lights down and spins it around. The wrong way at first, (he's left-handed). Struan wonders if this a 'Toronto' thing. He comes back down to give the light to Paul but a very excited girl thrusts some picture in Struan's face. After a few too many drinks Paul keeps screaming out for them to play some Rush. Mick finds this amusing I think. I notice another button on Mick's stylish shirt has come undone. Isobel seems much better in Toronto than Montreal, she's dressed up a little (plastic red jacket, very salon blonde shiny hair) and there is even a flicker of a smile when someone calls out her name. A girl from the audience is invited on stage to sing and they cover Satisfaction, Stevie doing an excellent job with the rest of the lyrics when everyone else seems to forget besides 'I can't get none'. Loving Mick's dancing and clothes, the Stevie theatrics, the session musicians helping out during Legal Man, Struan's ease in front of the audience, Belfast's Bobs "urban mullet" that stays in place. Struan also does some crazy dancing, especially during There's Too Much Love. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

It was a magical day, a day i've wanted to happen for so many years and years. It was my last day of school. That was it. No more (except when I have to go back for exams, but that doesn't count). I'm not a pupil of st brides high school. No more uniform, no more beatings in the school toilet, no more getting set on fire, no more getting acid poured on me, no more having my stuff all ruined, no more being told we're going to Hell, no more head injuries, no more hospitilisations, no more emergency surgery, no more ruptured internal organs, no more fashion police, no more getting spat on, no more girls with the orange faces and the hot pink lips, no more ritual humilliation, no more people putting their hand up my skirt, no more anything because it's over. And I made it out alive and anything. It was touch and go, but I managed not to actually die. They asked me if I wanted a year book. I said no, I had a nice seven inch scar and some permanant damage in my head to remind me of high school. Actually I just said no. I always thought when I left that I would do something really smart and clever, like, I don't know, hack all the school computers. But I never got round to learning how to hack, and in the end I just wanted to go quietly. Pretend it never happened. One of my friends signed my shirt, and she wrote, 'you don't have to be jafar any more, you can be jasmine any day'. This was cause, in primary school we used to play at Aladin, the disney film, and she was pretty with long black hair so she got to be Jasmine, but I always got left with Jafar, the baddie, because no one else wanted it. And I always wanted to be Jasmine more than anything. And she's right, I don't have to be Jafar any more. I can be anything now.

(* much like a TREASURE HUNT, if you catch my drift) KEN ARRIVES (knock knock) So on the saturday, after flying over places with amusing names such as "The Sleeping Bear Dunes", "Isabella Inidan Reservation" and "Kuujjuaq!", the plane took Ken over the endless landscape of rectangular blocks of houses and trees that is the city of Chicago. Chicago was vast and it was odd and I flew over a school that had a baseball and american football pitch and there was no soccer field to be seen, and the plane landed on O'hare airport. The plane had to drive itself over this bridge thing where cars drive past underneath, it was quite amusing. Soon after I was picked up onto a nice car by a nice girl and her mum, both with a very sweet accent. And it was a very exciting journey through the American roads. I was then delivered to the mansion house of my hostess of the week, who took me onto my first wandering of Chicagoland. In true Rock and Roll style, just hours later I was already in a PAR-TAY, and drank a deadly drink "Ground Control to Major Tang" which made the room float in a most peculiar way. KEN ADVENTURES (who's there) Over the next few days, I learnt of such words as "Soliciting", "Peddling" and "Loitering" whilst I was in America, and played Golf for the first time - I hit one shot that was as if I was Tiger Woods! On Cannabis. Other activities of the expressive arts involved bowling at an alley that you have to keep scores on a piece of paper and where you can win Free Bowling from the drunken, rock and roll quizzical owner, and of course there was KARAOKE! where one can sing to as high an octave to one's heart's desire! KEN DRIVES AND SEES B&S! (Hair) After a few episodes, Ken managed to rent a car and drives off Detroit-bound, in the slight hurry, and awe of the size of his engine he drove at a speed that was.. mildly over the speed limit. He almost had a heart attack when he read the sign at the back of this car he was about to overtake that said "Police" on it. But he slowed down in time and the police went away. Phew. Once got to the flaming streets of Detroit, Ken was saved by a delightful angel who used TWO of his spare tickets to help Ken get into the Detroit gig, he was a star, and he wasn't the only star that night, wow, what a good gig, I think was my exclamation after the Detroit gig. It was so nice, and the crowd were so enthusiastic, unlike some twats in Brixton who were obviously too cool for B&S but not clever enough to realise that they can maybe just fuck off. I got in just in time for Baby Love, missed the champaigne though, I didn't have my ID on me anyway, I wonder if the cops could have busted B&S for not checking IDs before handing out booze. I went to a PAR-TAY after the gig, ooo it was fun, and MICK AND STEVIE AND BEANS AND OTHERS were there! Oh yeah, and the beer was so tasty! It tasted like Ly-chee juice! Except with less alcohol contents. Later on that night we went back to a very kind host's house at a mystery town in Michigan. KEN CAFENICS AND SEES B&S! (Hair who?) The next day was a rainy day, and so there were no chances for football or croquet, but it was ok, because we had the pick-me-up caf�, where we would stay, and I ate an Eggs Benedict which was yum-may! It was good that many people turned up to play. I hope my rhyming wasn't too gay. "Wow, what a good gig" was exactly what I said after the Chicago gig, again, and this time in even greater volume. Since WOW, WHAT A GOOD GIG it was! They played all my favourite songs, almost all, and loads of the rare ones that they don't play ever, like Beyond the Sunrise! Haha no, but they did play Judy is a Dick Slap! During the show, someone shouted out a genius hackle.. A person asked "WHERE'S ISOBEL!!!" Stuart Murdoch said "She's.. gone... home!" Clever huh? Someone THEN shouted "BUMMER!" HA HA HA HA HA!! Pure genius! I helped a girl with the construction of her set list by telling her to Fuck this shit, and she just wrote it down and thanked me. The crowd were even more enthusiastic than the night before, and some people danced vigorously. Later on I went to a post-gig PAR-TAY, and drank beer from a keg! And rendezvoused with girls! And things! Then later on I was in bed with some canadian chick. Phwoar. KEN LEAVES CHICAGO (Hair today, gone tomorrow!) After visiting a greasy American diner, boosting table cloths with green and white checkered patterns, and discussions of whether Guacamole and Anthrax are in fact the same thing, it was time for Ken to make the sad journey to O'Hare airport. The Moldy Peaches were the sound track, and they sang goodbye to me, it was apt. I was hoping to catch a last glimpse of chicago just as the plane was leaving, but I guess fittingly, chicago just faded away into a windowful of whiteness as the plane soared above the clouds. With a savoury egg burito dinner as the only thing left to remind me of sweet chicago. KEN RETURNS (haha, so funny) After being flirted at by the air hostess, the plane landed near the villiages of twisting roads and fields and onto the heathrow airport runway. My parents are now back in the UK. I had to wait an hour in the rain for them, but I didn't mind, since I have kinda missed them. Now everytime I shut my eyes, I feel like I'm in Chicago and I could see those Green roadsigns hanging on the street lamps. They say time flies when you're having fun, but my one week in Chicago felt as long as a lifetime, yet I still had fun. Mainly due to all of you who were ever so lovely to me, you know who you are. And I hope to see you all again.. one day! Thanks for making a little boy so happy. Love and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: Refer to previous posts for the content of this P.S.

Right now, I'm sitting on the matress of my brothers bed, without any sheets on it. I've got the duvet pulled over my feet, and the laptop resting on the pillows. Theres a few little holes in my tights, threatening to develop into ladders. Theres one on the toe, where my second little toe on my left foot has its nail poking out. its a bit uncomfortable, so i guess i'll clip it later. My thigh is itchy, and i don't know why. At the weekend, I decided to start something I imagine most sinisterettes do as a matter of conduct, and started a diary. i kept a diary when I was 15, and starying to fancy indie boys for the first time. Its quite a hilarious read. well, i think it is. All the things I found S!H!O!C!K!I!N!G! When i was but a long haired 15 year old girl in straight vut jeans and checked shirts (with t shirt underneath) and cherry red doc marten boots. when there was a distinction between smash hits and NME, and Melody Maker was a text book i hoped i'd one day understand. And Vox and Select were manuals of indie.Of course, they weren't at all, I just thought they were, becuase like them pesky kids in the Lion the Witch and the wardrobe, i had found a secret garden in the back of Kansas. Just don't tell anyone cos I might get done for trespass. The diary thing seems to be helping my head at the moment. I talk a lot, but i think i forgot what my own voice sounds like. At least, i think when i've used it its to repeat the same things over and over and over again. And i think people are getting bored. i am. so my diary bears the brunt of my 23 year old teenage angst. I'm feeling a lot better after my heavy cold/ flu thing knocked me out last week. I still have a runny nose and sore throat. I saw the plans for the new Scottish parliament. Its looking quite good actually. I even saw where I'm sitting. I'm not telling you, becuase like the lephrichaun on the grassy troll, you might fire your water pistols at me. not that I'm important enoughfor you, but still, it might be amusing. i was listening to Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah while sitting on the bus today. Go off and listen to it and you'll end up in the mood I'm in now. :) ahhh.

If not in the moos skip it. Skip it even if you’re the mood. I’m using the list as a therapist. Is it an abuse? I’m not drunk. I wish I would but despite having accumulated a wide reserve of cans I got almost saturated after the first one, which is as weird as unusual. Passed over to empty a couple of syrup peaches cans, but didn’t work really as I would hence have a go for ananas.. it worked in the past, (Wang thought the same) let’s give him a chance.... more or less useless... last step is brandy mascarpone cream with biscuits, same as beer couldn’t afford to jump into the bowl and drown in there. One of my flat mate decided a couple of weeks ago that the radio in my room was its own at took it off, maybe it was right, so go to portable CD player which I don’t love really, try with dog on wheels... didn’t work as well. And I could not sleep the only other thing I wish I would have done. There is a puzzling relation to people familiar with rational mechanics, which is dumped quenched oscillation. This is what describes the movement of a point at the border of spring in something which can be considered ‘not an ideal’ situation. i.e. it accounts for friction and the spring is not perfect... well I feel it can describe this kind of a useless pain as well with a certain efficiency... the function when plotted as intensity versus time is like wave which gets smaller and smaller and than, eventually dyes... even if in principle it oscillates forever with a tiny tiny tiny tiny amplitude but still keep going... is this the tiny oscillation on the deepest of the pond? Or just the slash of the stone which generate the waves? Chess players should be the best people around. On the board., the good ones, are said to be able to predict something like 50 or more movements of the opponent. I cannot imagine fare that one or two, that’s why I am an horrible chess player and an ideal partner f you won to win a game. I stop playing. Practising wasn’t making me any better. There is a time to quit things. I guess. If one can’t stay a game better leave it don’t you agree?

Alas, that's the way it goes. This is important however, I promise, at least to me. I will be traveling across the U.S. as I previously said in my last posting. I am still looking for anyone who might want to meet up in Chicago, Cleveland, Rhode Island or Boston. I plan to be in Boston on June fourth (the day Storytelling comes out!!) I need to find a store in Boston where I can call to reserve a copy. Please please take pity on me and send me an email if you know of one, or if you'd like to meet up (or let me crash on your floor (I am very tidy and quiet as a mouse when needed)) along the way. Oh dear, the melancholy I've fallen into lately, it's very sad. First learning that if only I'd been wiser at saving my pennies and other forms of currency, I could have made it to Chicago. Sad, I could have seen the infamous Ken Chu in person. (The tears begin) then I learned that perhaps it's best that I stayed here since we learned we must move as our oh so kind landlord is selling our cute little house. I've also broken someone's heart and had my own quite bruised. Things will pick up soon, they always do. I appreciate your kind listening (those of you who've made it this far) I will try to be more positive and less demanding in the future. ~Bynnic P.S.

So here are the details: *When:6pm-6:45/7pm. *Where: Georgtown Booeymonger. It's a bagel joint/deli. Veggie options a plenty. Great bagels. Great mixed salads. Inexpensive yet yummy. Not techincally a picnic. Football played at your own risk cos it's not really a park. The exorcist steps are a few blocks up the street. *Dircetions and shit: Corner of Prospect & 30-something streets. One block up from M street. can be seen from M street. Y'know the corner where Dean and Deluca, Subway, and Fettoosh are? Right. Prospect street is across the street from Dean and Deluca. It's one block west of the big-ass intersection of "M" and Wisconson streets. There is street parking in the neighborhood and after 6 there is parking on M street. Closest metro stop is Rosslyn. Can't tell you about buses. From Rosslyn, walk across Key Bridge, take a right on M street, go up a few blocks and take a left onto Prospect. It's on the beginning of the second block there. It's easy to get back to the venue area from Georgetown. Just go East on M street until it becomes Pennsylvania and go around until you hit 18th. Alternately, you can get back on the highway business...y'know what 66E beomes when it hits the city? Right. Go back on Key Bridge and go East on 66 until it turns into the big bridge next to the Kennedy center. This will put you straight onto Constitution ave and the mall area and the venue is on 18th. *Who: Jenny is wearing jean coloured capri pants, black t shirt and has long blonde hair. I, Vilkas, have wavy/puffy, dark brown meduim length hair and a nose ring. We will wear badges upside down. *Help I'm lost cos Vilkas' directions suck: My mobile is (804)306-7763. Use don't abuse this number. *Mwah!: Hope to see a few of you there on this late ass notice. Don't be afraid. We won't bite unless you bite first.

Message-ID: �I said to her �ahhh come on! Ok you want mystery! but you can�t spend you life with reactionary bastards! When some when opens their heart to you that�s a great thing you know?��� We laughed and nodded. It was past 5.00 , time to go home and we were all listening to a the philosophy from that self confessed �crazy guy from Pakistan�. He isn�t crazy, he just says everything he thinks. He turned to me and said: �I tell this to people who are younger than myself, it takes more brain power and a bigger heart to maintain the same level of intimacy with a single person than to play the same set of cards with different people.� It made me think. I thought about my grandparents house in the town by the sea. I thought about the smell of the sea, and roses, and the freshly baked pastry. I thought about the dark green carpet, and the garden with shells dotted about and I thought about summer morning when me and my sister would get up before my mum and dad. We would creep downstairs quietly and into the kitchen where my grandma would be at the sink peeling vegetables, or preparing a cheese cake or cutting jelly into cubes. We would sit at a table that was just high enough for a 7 year old and a 4 year old. My grandma brought her marmite on toast and sugary tea. We wore our nighties and brightly coloured straw hats that my grandma had brought especially for our visit. My sister would do most of the talking and we would sip teas as we enjoyed the ambiance of Rainbow Caf�. As we were finishing our tea and toast my Granddad would come down stairs. Each morning without fail, the first thing he would do was to give my grandma a kiss. When I was 7 I don�t think I took much notice of this. Just another one of the strange things grownups did. I grew older and began to take more notice of this ritual. It wasn�t the kiss itself, anybody can kiss another person. It was the look in both of their eyes. A look of warmth and of love. After all those years their love didn�t weaken or die. It was there bold as brass and as strong as ever. The crazy guy from Pakistan isn�t at all crazy. He is right it does takes a lot of strength of character to maintain so much warmth over such a long period of time. I just hope that I will find I have enough brainpower and a big enough heart to love someone for the rest of my life. I just hope I�m lucky enough to find someone who will look into my eyes and kiss me gently each morning.

I feel I'll never learn it. I'll never cope with tha. just kind of not belonging to, despite your wish, despite your trials. for long time sinister has been nearly my only joy. I still love all you sinister and i wished you would have known, even if i'm not the good one to say those kind of things.messages made me cry, mad me smile, or wondering what the hell are they saying. this was just my favorite company on train journey from home to the bench. and I'm on a different bench now. this morning I when I woke up, it was 5, the night was spent on the wood floor in someone else's houses. i could not get into my room any more.i could not share my room any more. i stay there. i was half a drunk, staying on the cold wood and feeling even colder i could not sleep but watch the dark blue of the night trough the window ceiling. everything is decided. everything is fixed now. there is no other choice. there is only one choice. looking over for the blue to pail gently, until about 3. the sleepiness came over to bring a small rest, welcome and unwelcome. then went off the room. down the corridors i walked alone as usually. out in the street the air was brilliant in the very trembling morning light and beautiful, and my eyes can't stand wide open when i start crying. that's what i wished o badly in the last two days. that's what i wished til the morning of the the sunday before, but just i was dried and no tears came out of my eyes. this can make me happy. i can still feel something outside the coldness and the greyness, but they are always there. the sun shined just to dry them when i jumped in the hammersmith tube station a nd then on the train. it shined just that i was blinded, but there is no point is seen anything today. there is no point of seeing anything after last night. and after a whole lifetime in which nothing that can be said worth is ever happened. I wished to cry longer but just i couldn't and the train went all the way down to whitechappel and then i walk down to my bench and there were no car on the street, no people in the marked only me and other passer and the trees and the green of the leaves and the colors fro flowers and that is just a street of london but nothing special, and i wished the time could have stopped at that time. frozen in. but the time goes and goes and does not care of our wishes. of my faint wishes. but there is no reason to wish anything today. the day the decision is taken. is taken. will i go all the way trough? will I? am I J. A prufrock? and i'll drown. today is lovely a lovely day to say good bye. I'm sorry I just can't say thank you. i wish you all the best, take care of yourselves, stefano +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

This Oklahoma transplant that lives in Dallas, TX, flew out to Atlanta, Saturday, for a much needed 4 days off. I witnessed acts that ranged from Bozo Porno Circus to Belle and Sebastian, and a bit of Salsa dancing, inbetween - I took a Salvadoran girl. Monday night we arrived @ the Tabernacle, only to hear B&S already playing, from outside. Speaking to some other fans, once inside, I figured I hadn't missed but 5 minutes or so of the show. The venue was truly worthy of a B&S gig; it was an old Baptist Cathedral that was designed so that no matter where you were standing, you wouldn't be more than 40 yards from the stage - there really wasn't a bad seat in the house. And, as a bonus, my beautiful, salvadoran friend, used her powers of seduction, to sneak in my digital still camera - this especially rocked. Isobel wasn't there, of course; but, since she wasn't in Austin either, I really didn't miss her much. Stuart and Stevie seem to be the life of the band, and I really enjoy watching them perform - especially Stevie on "Me and the Major", and Stuart, doing his "White Guy" dance. Once inside, I navigated my way around the crowd, and was able to get some truly amazing pictures; once I have them up, I'll post a URL where everyone can view them. Toward the end of the show, I was approached by an angry Neil, the tour manager, who thought the camera, I had, was being used for video. Once I showed him the pictures, he was totally cool and let me continue taking them, even after the bouncers tried to take away the camera. Thanks goes out to Neil. The cover they performed was by Skynyrd - I was actually standing next to the guy (everyone knows this guy) that yelled "Play some Skynyrd". Well, they did; they didn't know the lyrics to the song they sang, "Sweet Home Alabama", so they had a girl, from the Audience, sing it. All-in-all, it was an amazing show, and I feel very lucky, to have seen my favorite band twice, on this tour. -Vince +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: hello dears, The setting: I was sitting in my common room at school, the cool kids were playing darts and the posse girls were sitting talking about who pulled them at the metropolis nightclub. Some were even taking a tally of the number of boys they snogged, one girl managed to have 50 odd or something, she couldn't remember exactly. I guess if i had a gang then some of them were playing darts and the rest were talking amongst themselves, i was alternating between putting a jacket over my head to pretend i was sleeping and reading something, i'm pretty sure it was the picture of dorian gray but it just mighta been the catcher in the rye. I had the smiths on my personal stereo, or my walkman if you will. I never liked music as a kid, i was just a reader as a kid. I loved the escapism of children's fantasy, gosh i still do. It wasn't till i was 13 i realized i loved music i still didn't know what i liked though, i found oasis and they were good but there was something missing then ocean colour scene and i liked them more but still i knew it was a passing phase, there was still something absent. Then my musical mentor,or maybe just my mentor, or maybe someone who just had similar tastes to me but the desire to search new things out, i've never quite decided on that. Anyway he gave me Nirvana and Radiohead and they were superb, that's when i realised music was going to be a major part of my life i guess, that was almost my first time but not quite, i loved it but it still hadn't all came together. So anyway in the common room i have the smiths and i haven't really listened to it but i liked what i'd heard even though i hadn't given it a good spin yet and then david walks up to me and steals it giving me a tape of what he says are a band that are sometimes described as the new smiths and they were called Belle and Sebastian. So i put the tape on and pulled the jacket over my head so no one would bother me and it was just before the start of we rule the school, y'know the talking part of i could be dreaming, rip van winkle i think for some reason. Then we rule the school started and i heard the piano then stuarts voice. That's when i had my first musical epiphany,hell maybe even my first epiphany of any sort. For a few minutes i wasn't in school but some transcendental place where it was okay to dream,in fact dreaming was important. There was no counting the number of boys you'd snogged and trying in vain to remember their names, no shouting and swearing and trying to outdo each other in some sort of slagging match, there was somewhere where everything made sense and there was something perfect, indescribable. Then the bell rang, accounting probably, i went in a daze. I knew things wouldn't be the same after that, they weren't. dannypie xxx _________________________________________________________________ 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.

The band was in top form, and the show was flawless (minus a few minor technical difficulties that happened periodically during instrument changeovers). The Great Lakes, another Elephant 6 project and a friend of Sarah's, opened for the band, and they were very entertaining and good. They got the well-dressed audience warmed up for Belle & Sebastian, and they were quite excited for having the opportunity to open for Belle & Sebastian. After the Great Lakes set, there was a very short break, and Belle & Sebastian walked out on to the stage and broke into a very intense and high energy version "Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie". The show continued with the same intensity throughout the night especially during Stevie's rocking harmonica solos on "Me And The Major", Mick's clapping and dancing on "Wandering Alone", Melora's beautiful cello playing on "We Rule The School", the Great Lake's and Sarah's dancing and singing on "Legal Man", and Stuart's antics and dancing on "There's Too Much Love". The band interacted with the audience throughout the night inviting members of the audience up on stage to sing and dance and by passing a microphone out to the audience to sing on certain songs. Sarah invited the members of the Great Lakes up on stage for some singing and dancing during "Legal Man" which was very entertaining. That song took on a whole new personality live. The band stated that they absolutely loved the venue, and that they had a lot of fun in Atlanta. The audience had a lot of fun too and thanks the band for the wonderful music and good times in Atlanta. We hope to see you again soon... The setlist for the evening is as follows: Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie Woman's Realm String Bean Jean Wandering Alone I Fought In A War Me And The Major Jonathan David Sarah #2 Don't Leave The Light On Baby The Model Sweet Home Alabama Jam Georgia On My Mind Sweet Home Alabama Simple Things The Boy With The Arab Strap We Rule The School I Love My Car Like Dylan In The Movies Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying The Wrong Girl Dirty Dream #2 Legal Man Encore: This Is Just A Modern Rock Song There's Too Much Love Notes on the setlist: The band played an instrumental version of Sweet Home Alabama while Stuart was talking to audience members about who knew the lyrics good enough to sing them on stage. While Stuart was pulling people up on stage, the band played and Stevie sang "Georgia On My Mind". Also, Stevie dedicated his performance of "The Wrong Girl" to one of his favorite rock legends, Elvis Presley. Stuart passed a microphone out to three guys up front for the bridge on Dirty Dream #2.

It's a warm day, so warm that my skin hasn't stopped being sticky all day. Any of it. It's an attractive image, I'm sure, and one I shall hurry by to prevent the delicates among you requiring smelling salts administered by men in starched collars with flamboyant facial hair (cf. Peter Miller). Amy Longcore has recently gone pastiche (and Ken) crazy. Admirable qualities in a woman, as Pinter would say. Sadly, unlike (in) Pinter, Amy doesn't show us her knickers. I've been spending money like mad lately, which is just *silly*. I'm still unemployed, but as you may have noticed, even housework no longer has the illicit thrill that encouraged me to post all about those saucy floor-mopping moments in my underwear which graced Sinister in January. Nowadays, of course, I need to do it shaven and naked with a feather duster up my bum to get anywhere near the same thrill. I did discover, though, that cleaning the bath while taking a shower is both highly effective and almost like play! So, much picnicking in the immediate future (American listees ignore this paragraph, it'll only bore you). Brighton on the 25th! Then London on the 1st June! Has anything been officially arranged for then? It's a Saturday and certainly *deserves* a picnic, Primrose Hill, 2pm, etc. etc. How about it? (/me patiently waits for an email telling him how out of touch he is, how there's already an orgy of epic proportions organised, etc. etc.) I spent a large part of the last two days with one of the bestest listees in the world. She's Robyn! And she's been in London, and is coming back in time for Brighton! I'm not sure what I'll do without her for the next ten days. She's THAT cool. I went to New York last week. But that probably deserves a post to itself. Toodle pip sinister! Mark xxx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Message-ID: I've been having a lot of thoughts lately, mostly about things and my life and how nothing ever seems to work out. I've come to the conclusion that the reason why nothing good ever happens to me is that I never believe I'm the kind of person that good things happen to. When good things do happen to me, I'd feel that I'm on borrowed time, that something DRASTICALLY BAD was about to make everything wrong again, and subsequently I'd be too busy preparing for the bliss to end, practicing ways to take defeat gracefully that I end up feeling miserable even when things aren't going right. Even worse, I'd even throw it all away - thinking I don't deserve it, that people will frown on me that I'm having something that I don't deserve, and so I give up. There is a funny episode in the Sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf, called "Better than Life" - it's about this new virtual reality game in which anything that you've always desired will happen - but this guy Rimmer (who's a Smeghead) ended up having all the bad things happening to him because he can't get his head to think that anything good can happen to him. It was funny on TV - not so funny in real life. But I think it's time I take off my reality helmet and face the real world - I'm getting my life sorted, I'm going to stop being in a muddle and start believing that good things do and will happen to me - I'll have to start from scratch, since I'm in a bit of a rock bottom at the moment on all fronts. But it's looking up already - it's the weekend :) Cheers and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: One good thing that I'm sure will one day happen to me is that B&S are going to reveal the answers to the various Treasure Hunt clues - we just don't know when!! _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Over the past 10 years or so its been using its wealth and power to actively undermine international action on global warming and successfully lobbied Bush to pull out of the kyoto protocol. So if you are interested, visit www.stopesso.com and dont buy esso! In the interests of trying not to get struck of this list as i do quite like being part of the sinister massif, i shall include a bit of diary type stuff about my week: Sunday:had date with a guy who i dont think realised that when i asked him if he wanted to go for a drink with me i meant it as a date. But all went well and i think i managed to be witty and interesting for the short while we were out. And then we walked back to the train station where i slipped down a flight of muddy steps, on my bum, and ended up very embarressed and in a heap on the floor. So now i'm sure the guy things i am an idiot (he is super cool and would never have done something like that). Mon/Tues/Weds/Thurs/Fri: Played a bit of frisbee in the park, surfed the net alot (have lots of uni work to do and its an easy distraction). Sat: Protested! in the morning anyway (for those of you that have actually read this far and are wondering how i managed to write a post and be at an esso garage at the same time...)

Sorry. But now i'm going to attempt a post that says something. However it's the kind of post i sometimes don't like reading, if i'm tired or that. It's the "my girlfriend left me, what shall i do?" post, this time with a twist. Things weren't going well anyway, I'm better without her and she's better without me. I'm just sorry that she finished with me, ideally i would have broken up with her but totally made it to look like it was her fault. Aparently i've changed over the past seven months. I think she's jusr gotten to know me, and well, she doesn't like the real me. I am an arrogant twat (some might say) I never did really fancy her as such, i wanted to be with someone, anyone, and she pulled me. But I was glad she did, we had great times with each other, she even came to my first sinister picnic with me, she is really nice, as a friend. That's it! As a friend, i have no overwhelming desire to "put my thing in her thing" or to really kiss her properly, kissing just for practice would be ok, maybe. She also has my Glastonbury ticket, which i desperately want. i want to go to glasto with her, but not in a sharing a sleeping bag kind of way. If she isn't going out with me she doesn't want to know me, which i think is a bit harsh. I've realised a lot of things recently. Today while reading pieces of writing on the band site i realised something. For the past year or so, i've been thinking Stevie i so cool and forgetting about the rest of the band a bit. Stevie is undeniably cool and he signed two cd covers for me, as apposed to the one by everyone else (i'm going off track here, if you haven't noticed, by my tigermilk sleeve with "stevie" faintly written above the "and" in "belle and sebastian" is brilliant) Anyway, today i realised i've been unfairly ignoring sturan, stuart, struan, stru-anne, mr murdoch. Stuart is the only member of the band who could make me cry (without kicking me in the bollocks) But you know what i mean, go and read evrything you can find that he has written, and if you haven't already, realise that he *is* a genius, and not in a shitty schoolboy "oh thome yorke is a genius" kind of way, i mean we are truly blessed to live in a time where we have stuart murdoch. oh well sorry if that last paragraph was arsey or ill-punctuated or just too long. if you took the time to read this, thank you. if you didn't f*ck you, you are a monkey (shit they didn't read this anyway so there's no point....) well thanx thomas ps: i wonder if now that it was ages a go ken chu will stop going on about the clues to the treasure hunt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Message-ID: <002d01c1ff94$f5226800$7f0586d9@fpgcsxhi> Hello sinister, I have been sitting here for almost 10 minutes attempting to write a reasonable introduction to this shambles and failing with excellence. I'm not sure that this direct admission of failure works any better than the failures themselves, but at least it contains two things worth noting 1) this post will be shambolic, and 2) I am an excellent failure. I don't think there was anything particularly wondrous that was burning a hole in my outbox, but I guess I just wanted to chip away at the coating of lurkerdom that has enveloped me. Even though I know that one of the rules clearly states that you shouldn't email something unless you yourself would like to receive it (it's got a commandment vibe to it doesn't it?), I can't help but feel that this post is going to be dispatched whether I like it or not. It's awfully therapeutic, no? I guess I could comment on stuff and things, that's always a good place to start. Right'o. Lambchop at Albert Hall a fortnight ago was something fantabulous. I would even go as far as to say that it was the best gig/concert/thing that I have ever seen (in my entire life, etc). I'm sure there a plenty of people who would disagree, but at the end of the day, I have never been that euphoric during and after a gig. They played as a 13 piece band, and managed to pull off faultless segues from subdued moments of serenity to stupendous sections of what can only be called "whigging out". I guess I'm inherently biased because I love Kurt Wagner's songwriting, but he really did show his brilliance that evening as a band leader and performer in his own right. I think all of the songs I would possibly have requested or hoped for were played, and the one that has always made me go all giddy and glaze over "Up With People" was spectacular. I suppose, what I was trying to say from the beginning was that this was my perfect gig (using a similar definition for "perfect" that David did in referring to albums a fortnight ago) in that I went giddy with excitement as soon as they started playing and remained on that level until well after they had finished and packed up. Infact I think I only glanced at my watch once, and that was late in the set when I began praying that they would say bollocks to the curfew and keep playing for another 10 hours. I honestly could've listened until dawn. I'm not competent enough to write a proper review of it, so my calamitous expression of glee will have to suffice. I'm sure I had something else to say before I started that ramble about the gig, but it got lost somewhere in the enthusiasm. Perhaps I can sum up everything in a paragraph. Belated hugs, hello's and how-are-you's to all the people from the Greenwich picnic, Cat Power gig, various footballing outings, Primrose Hill picnic, escapades at the Bappsy Trotwood, various outings in Camden and the like, and even as far back as ATP. To all the lovely Londoners that have been so very welcoming and friendly over the last couple of months I thank you especially. Finally, I just want to say hello and give a large hug to Stefano, with whom a growing number of splendarous days & nights are being had. Oh yeah, there's always one tacked on the end isn't there...to Mr B Apps: I'm missing you already!! Okiedoke, that's about enough from me at the moment. Though there is one more thing. Has anyone else noticed that posting to sinister is much like horse riding. Once you've fallen into lurkerdom, the longer you wait to get back into action, the harder it is to do so. I guess I just stated the obvious, but...oh well. I'll see some of you this weekend in Brighton, others of you elsewhere in the near future, some of you I'll perhaps unknowingly pass in the street and a large number of you I shall perhaps never meet at all. Until then. Love Jeremy ps. one of these days I'll learn to write something that is both tangible and readable. But baby until then... -------------------------------- http://www.breams.co.uk Home of all things breamsy +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: hello sinister. i hate sundays. i suppose the quiet slowness to them should make me happier; twenty-four hours of pure sleepiness, nothing to do because the world shuts down for a bit of rest and something. but the afternoon has been long, and lent it self to loneliness, and i am sitting back here again longing for something to come along and fill the void i am only ever acutely aware of on the seventh day. my shoes have rubbed a blister on the back of my heel; i have been walking in tight, repetitive circles through the downtown area, looking simultaneously in windows and at my reflection in the stretching panes of glass. is that vain? maybe. danny always said i was quite a vain thing. and maybe i am after all, reading the things i write and preening in front of mirrors and spending an insane amount of time and money and energy to make myself presentable on my own terms daily. but like conor, i wonder if when i look in the mirror these days, someone new is there. and i don't know if i know her. more horrifying: i don't know if i want to know her. *** not that i think i have undergone any great personality change, adopting new outlandish morals. modes of dress are one thing, as are different ways of combing and twisting hair around a head like a misshapen halo. no, what i speak of is something i have known before, but this time, bigger and longer and more shy, a weeping of the spirit. i am sad. and this week, i have to pack the sadness away in boxes and bags with my clothes and food and furniture and move it twelve blocks down the road to a new home, where it will live alone in rapture. *** i wanted to have a story to tell, to give this rambling some purpose. and so. i thought of one. at the coffee house last night. i had been there for a while, by myself, and i had forgotten my book. i read the paper instead as i drank my tea and began a disgusting frenzy of chain smoking until cara got there, and the boys working, thankfully, often interrupted my immersion in current affairs. they sat across from me and smoked, talked to me about life and love and music and writing and all the things you are supposed to talk of at coffee shops. and eventually cara came with jill, who gave me a photograph. in the photograph was me, sitting next to a boy on a pool table at the daily nebraskan spring banquet. we were smoking and he was looking at the camera, while i, paying no attention to anything but the boy (as is always the case with me, i fear), was laughing up into his face. i suppose some people might think i look charming in the picture, slightly taken with the boy, opening my mouth in a widened arc of sheer chemistry. i didn't like it. i didn't like the way my face looked, and i didn't like the way niko, the resident foreign coffee shop old guy (fifty; venezuelan or some such origin) looked at me in the photo while placing his hand on my back. rubbing slightly and telling me i was a beuatiful girl, it was a beautiful picture. but that i was better in person. dan came over and i looked up expectantly, my mouth surely widening in the same way as pictured. he smiled as he picked up the glossy piece of paper, looked at me at length. he handed it back to me after a while, and said 'you aren't wearing your wedding dress.' it was a dn party. i told him i wore wedding dresses to some of the dn parties earlier that night. i pointed to the picture. 'but i'm wearing handcuffs at this party. (a silly prize for a silly award.) surely handcuffs are better than a wedding dress any day.' he laughed. 'well, lindsey, they're kind of the same.' i agreed, and watched him as he walked away, turning to look at me once more before going back behind the counter. *** i am a terrible girl. xxx with love, lou _________________________________________________________________ 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.

"you are the first generation raised without religion" thursday night came and i sat quietly in a room full of tarot cards and candles. i didn't feel comfortable at all there. i think i'm scared of the future. Maureen Seaton tried to read me my cards and i almost started crying. she's really a lovely person though -- she wrote a book of poems called "Furious Cooking," read it if you ever get the chance -- and afterward i went bowling with David Trinidad, which was particularly glamorous. he's not a bad bowler. i, on the other hand, am terrible. i drank some beer and then i got into a fistfight with a communist in the parking lot behind the diversey rock'n'bowl. i have scrapes on my elbows and my back has cuts from the broken glass. my pants were ripped and ruined. i drove home in my mom's minivan. "From St. Kilda to King's Cross it's thirteen hours on a bus." friday i went downtown, to bookbinding studio. i finished up a roundback case binding i'd been working on, and then i got a ride up to "dave" the drug dealer's house. "dave" is ambitious for a loser -- he makes a great deal of money by doing almost nothing. my friend picked up half a pound of marijuana, and we drove back to the suburbs. i did some laundry and went to bed early. "a poet who was born doing reference work in sin, and born confessing that in the end she is a drunken rat." saturday i went to work at the shoe store. i got some bagels and a scone i never ate. after work i went to krispy kreme and attempted to buy a sweatshirt that said "ORIGINAL GLAZED," but they were out of my size. i was forced, against my will, to bring three dozen donuts up to "dave's" place. i watched a bit of pulp fiction on his bigscreen tv, which was terrifically boring. one should never visit "dave" more than once in the same month, unless one enjoys being bored to tears. "dave" and his friends asked me to go to a private loft party, where "dave" was spinning. instead i went to a dirty little bar near my house, where i dropped my very first drink and shattered the glass. the bartender is a friend of mine, and he humiliated me by putting my drinks into styrofoam cups for the rest of the night. i may never go there again. "The coldest I've ever been was in Cleveland, Ohio. My host and hostess hated and loved each other by frantic turns. To escape I'd go on long walks in the yellowing snow as the evening winds raged." sunday was the shoe store again. i won a free pair of shoes and got to take them home. they're hideously ugly; i intend to exchange them at nordstrom's, maybe for some jeans or else some new pyjamas. mine have a hole in them. i ate some mexican food with my friend, and it made me ill. after that, i went home and started making all kinds of books. i even made a book out of the pants i'd ruined in my scrap with the communist. my brother came home from indiana and called me a bunch of names. i tried to make him some macaroni and cheese, but he wouldn't have any. i ate some pudding. "bring on your fireworks, which are a mixed splendor of piston and of pistil; very well provided an instant may be fixed so that it will not rub, like any other pastel." i'm beginning to feel like i am a new person every ten minutes. when i talk to David in the bowling alley about William Carlos Williams, i do not even feel related to the person who sat on "dave's" leather couch and made small talk about the simpsons with some british coke addict in for the week. and the boy who swooned so hard he almost fell over after kissing Megan Lobsinger in the rain, years and years ago -- surely he isn't the same person who just a few hours back was helping some fat woman squeeze into a pair of shoes two sizes too small. "And there he learned to play the flute -- not very well --" i feel like that cheap leather shoe sometimes. "here," says mark, "do this drug." shaun says "hey, let's go rent a movie." nick throws a punch. "come on," says sarah, "let me come with you." "you should cut your hair;" matt says, "you look stupid the way you are." & yes. yes, now that you mention it i do sorta feel stupid this way. maybe you're right. "Ah, Sharon Lipschutz," said the young man. "How that name comes up. Mixing memory and desire." (after your first time on ecstasy, each pill you swallow becomes an attempt to relive that first high -- the best one. the one that made you happy, for the first time. the one that seemed to change your life. "with our designer drugs and leather gloves and work boots, with the world on our shoulders, with that police car, with that bright guitar, on a shooting star you make a wish -- she said, 'seratonin, be my friend.' " but you never feel that way again.) baker,baker __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!

Had an argument with some dick over the weekend. He said you couldn't be happy and have any emotional depth. I told him he was a dick who enjoyed misery because it gave him a motive to feel superior. It was fun though. I like arguing, especially when drunk. This is the only time I do argue to be honest, normally I'm quite laid back. Just listening to the Afghan Whigs "Gentlemen" album. Tip top says Dean. Absolute misery as *some* good music should be. I take it that means I've got no emotional depth. Ho-hum eh? over-rated anyway, it makes you wear black overcoats and read poetry on the tube with the cover blatantly on show so everyone knows you're reading poetry. Sorry, went off on one there. I had an idea that if you know of a good band that people might not have heard of you could recommend them. I've stopped reading NME because of their obsession with nu-metal (blarrrgh). I'll start with Ben and Jason. Two excellent albums, and one mini-album. Emoticons (their second) is my favourite and "romeo and juliet are drowning" is one of the best 5 minutes something ever put onto a round bit of plastic. It's quite mellow, and the singer (um, Ben i fink) has a very good voice. Very accomplished musically and well worth, ooh, about 12 nicker of anyones beer money. Loads of love Dean XXX ps does anyone know any good websites. I'm fed up with www.ratemykitten.com (I shit you not) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Message-ID: It has struck my attention that a 'Football Tournament' is taking place this summer. This will probably come as a surprise to everyone else on the list as well. But do the rest of the Scottish contingent on here feel a wee bit left out. I suggest that we write our own alternative world cup anthem, under themoniker of 'Sinister Soccer Sycho Squad'. Suggested titles for the tune that spring to mind are as following. 'What A Stramash' and 'We Aren't Very Fond Of Mister James Hill And HisOpinions, So Lets Make A Scurrulous Slur Against His Sexual Orientation.' (catchy eh?)And I feel that Archie Gemmells Victory salute after scoring THAT GOAL, against Holland in '78 would be an excellent image to use on the sleeve. And of course a certain ettiquette shall have to be observed. The only thing that springs to mind at teh moment is not using empty wine boxes for urinating in. (Now I know they are more economical, but the sides do tend to give way.And buckfast and eldorado bottles are so tres chic just now. . .) So what do you say fellow sports fans? dare we try to match such classic songs as 'We're On The Match With Ally's Army' and 'Ole Ola (Muller Brasilia)' ? Obviuolsly it would be cool to play fitter with rod the mod and shake andy camerons hand, but can we do it? uggy uggy uggy (oi oi oi) brian _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Unfortunatly there was only 10 of us and they needed me to play. It was tres amusing, i screamed, giggled and ran in the opposite direction every time the ball came near, they were all good to me though and didn't scream at me for being a sissy. Then we went to the pub and Mark C talked about his desire for indie porn, he got very excited at the thought of The Boy G naked. Ken Chu talked about getting asked for his autograph in America and i said that i was a good guitarist when i should have said that i am a bit shit. We also talked about the indie karaoke in Soho and decided that this would be a great place for a sinister meet up................(long pause that represents a "watch this space" thing) i really am out of practice with this writing lark so forgive me, i might see some of you soon, and i REALLY hope i see some of you US dudes soon too, hannahxx PS, Jarvis Cocker is going to be on Stars in Your Eyes PPS, The Clientele are playing the metro on june 10th PPS, they guy i was talking about in the pub is called Jeffry Lewis, he is great. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I can go all philosophical about my life and how I'm finding it difficult to figure out what's real and what isn't real and where I belong or if I belong anywhere - but I'd bore you kitless, so I won't. (Although the thoughts of some of you kitless are tempting) There had been things much more exciting going on, like the having of an impromptu picnic inside a castle! (a real castle! made of big stones) and the participation in a pool tournament, and discovery channel-like observation of the mating rituals of wild fowls, and the playing of sinister football! I believe we had enough of a turn-out for a 5-a-side match - i.e. we had 10 people. Each wonderfull skilled, and full of stamina! We had several new players such as star defender Stefano, and clinical penalty taker Hannah Brown who scored the winning goal! Blimey, and now my jeans are full of stains, and that's not even from the excitement. I felt a lot more unfit than before. Unfit isn't the only thing either, I'd also discovered this weekend that after speaking in Cantonese at home with my parents for a week I've lost the ability to form proper sentances in English when I speak. Frea-ky. I again one day wish I speak English can sounding like Yoda without. Exciting things that are happening this June: 1. The World Cup 2. My Birthday 3. Queen's Jubilee Double Bank Holiday 4. The World Cup I had to mention the World Cup twice because I love the World Cup! It's so pretty and small and kissable, although it's kind of yucky too that it's been kissed by loads of sweaty footballers over the years. The actual World Cup tournament is quite good too - and it's on free TV! Today at work I had to work with a lot of car registration numbers, and one of them was S152BNS.. BNS! That's like B'n'S.. wow.. Number Plates and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: Do you think B&S will reveal the answers to the treasure hunt clues before the World Cup starts? ****************************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT This email, its content and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may be legally privileged and/or confidential.

Rather luckily mine have now all finished. So last night i took the train down to the wah wah hut to see Dot Allison and wow! it was a great gig. I wasn't sure what i'd make of these new fangled techno beats but it was really special. Her new tunes sounded great and she did a great rocked up mo'pop which was a real treat. I was standing behind a guy doing these wicked projections although it didn't work that well being beamed onto the King Tuts drape at the back of the stage. still, i got the general idea and it was really entertaining seeing him scrammble trying to load another real whilst trying to pick up the set list and everything else he lopped onto the floor. I also got to meet Monica Queen. I was sure it was her but noone else seemed to take any notice so i wasn't totally confident unitl i saw her fetch a chair from the bar - a dead give away! So i went and said hi! and told her i was another crazy belle and sebastian fan but she was really pleasant, especially after she found out i had 'ten sorrowful mysteries', i got the impression not many other people had which is a pity cos its really good. so go forth and buy! anyway, after leaving her in peace i figured i'd forgot to ask that niggling question; was their any symbolic reason behind her wearing the tour de france yellow jersey at last years barrowlands gig? ah well, maybe another time. So it wasn't quite as excitng as having andy rourke back to your flat making morrissey impersonations but i was still quite excited. a couple other things occured too which are best not shared but needless to say i felt very remote and a little strange, uneasy and detatched and so by the time i left id seen a really moody and dark gig, and bumped into someone i'd have done a great deal to avoid. not great but no problem, i'll just listen to the mix tape marty thrust in my hand as i left the flat on my way out the door. Bad move., it was all the really melancholy bits of sigur ros, the blade runner soundtrack and other great gems of mogwai and so forth. Even the cheeriest guy would have been floored by this tape. as testimony to marty's great tape making skills it was all there, all the most depressing bits of songs with all the semi cheery bits absent. Afterwards i didn't feel so bad actually. not that the music itself helped but the fact that marty had actually gone through all his records to select the darkest bits possible, even it they were just 12seconds long, to create a mix tape which he regarded as his favourite. So if i felt mixed up that was replaced by my worry for him. theres always someone else worse. so incidently if anyones got a great sunshine mix they can suggest to sort the lad out please don't hesitate to post it to me. Thanks. well anyway, take care and best wishes, chris _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

How are you, my dear sinister friend? I've been up and down, last week I was was almost at the bottom, now I'm coming up! Last time I posted I told you I was in trouble. I am still in trouble... She was mine, for some time... I said to her everything a boy can say to a girl. I am happy and proud because of it. She cried when I asked her why she didn't leave her boyfriend, and I cried when she told me she liked me so much, but not "that" much. And we kissed, and everything seemed to be going to the happiest ending... But she never gave me an answer. Not from her mouth, but I could see her answer, I saw it last night, in my living room... I'm not proud to say that somehow I begged for her love. But what was I supposed to do? This is love, not money or some object! Is it a shame to beg for love? Maybe someday I will feel ashamed... today I'm proud. I'm proud that I humiliated myself. I'm proud that I cried in public for the first time since I was nine or ten. I'm proud because I'm not a complete loser, for at least I tried, and I'm still trying. But the way things are going... Last time I posted I was about to leave my flat and move with one of my flatmates to another place... I never wanted to live along with him, he was boring, he was a fascist, he was childish... But she moved to our flat and we would have to leave as soon as possible. In the end he backed out, he wouldn't move anymore because it would be too expensive for him... but that was just an excuse, he knew he wouldn't move six months before, but nothing he told me. Well, then we had three bedrooms for four people, someone had leave. So he left. And now I live with her and my korean flat mate. And we're quite a nice trio. But only friends. Anyway... I've been too sad since I met her, since my last post... so last week I decided I needed some shock therapy, some medicine that could make me feel happy again... So I took some Trompe Le Monde... and I took it again... and again... and almost got addicted to it! And now I have a dream, and my dream is to go out to some party... and when the party is electrical, almost sparkling, the DJ plays Head On! And at this moment I think I could really die because I wouldn't really mind! So lately all I wanted was some party where I could dance all night long... and maybe die (of happiness, some kind of epiphany)!! Last saturday it finally happened. Me, her and a friend of her, a famous DJ (anyone cares?!). It took place in a hotel lobby. 80s hits playing on the pickups... Madonna, George Michael, Michael Jackson... I hate all that stuff! But I was so in the mood, even if they played the 5th of Beethoven I would dance the same way! And I danced so much! And the way I danced... It was so funny, I was dancing and looking so oddly... everyone were staring at me! Everytime I looked around I saw someone looking at me and I recalled There's Too Much Love, and laughed while thinking that perhaps I was causing offense by the way I looked! And I drunk like when I was 17, when I used to drink until I couldn't walk... but last saturday I could walk, and dance, and what's really strange, feel happy! It is sad to say it, but everytime I drink too much I feel very depressed, insecure... but that night, I don't know what happened, I was feeling great! I didn't care what people were thinking about me, I didn't care if my pants were too tight, or my dancing was too weird, I just closed my eyes and danced, and danced, and danced... It's been quite a while since Zoe asked some opinion about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs... Well, better later than never... I think THEY ROCK!!! Their sound is really good, but I think Karen O. is up to now, what really stands out! Her voice is nice, her accent is funny, and her performance is something (which I saw here: http://www.punkcast.com)... But as god only knows when they will release their EP here in Brazil, I think I'll burn my own bootleg... thanx Audiogalaxy! And I'm looking for some party where I can dance to their songs, maybe just before Head On! Well, as this post is totally pointless and quite contentless, and currently it's the gig reporting season, I'd like to say a word about what I saw last Tuesday at the Mogwai's gig: STUPEFYING!!! I lost my way, literally! When I was walking back home it took me some time until I realized I was going to the wrong direction! And now some B&S content: Storytelling, the album, is goodl! Storytelling, the song, is wonderful! But I've never read about them playing this song live. Does anyone know if it ever happened? And if you're reading this paragraph... Thank you for being so patient! I will try harder next time, but I needed something to come out of Lurkerland, as it's been almost a month I don't show up! Kisses & hugs!

The point is that i, sore face and all, want to have a pubnic next week in glasgow because of a few things, firstly not all of us can get to brighton this weekend, it's brian's birthday (which is a good enough excuse) we can celebrate the queen/punk jubilee and it'll be good missing the sheeeite band that are playing in the club i work in Right so, i don't actually have the whole thing planned out yet, apart from the last bit, where our pubnic ends up in national pop league, so to be easy we could got to the pewter pot which is acroos the road from the woodside social, or we could go to a pub like nice 'n' sleazy or firewater or any other good pub in either city centre or west end, or if there's enough students we could get everyone signed into the union. anyway, anyone interested in a pubnic on friday the 31st of may mail me back and i'll try and get someone else to organize it (that was a joke honest) anyway c-ya later ps: if the clues to the treasure hunt aren't revealed by the end of the world cup, will ken forget about them? p.p.s: why does ken want to know so badly? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I began to fill out the questionnaire my mind began to wander. More miss than kiss. More teeth than mouth. More tongue than Kiss. More drool than Lassie. Even if you don't fancy them. Example: Hey Tim! Great show! I'm Greg. Uh-huh... This IS a bit forward. No, no, let me think. Alright. Yes. AWFULLY sorry for the list abuse. Linds, I've lost your e-mail address. The southern US shows seem to have been a riot (in the nicest sense). In weeks I will have finished university. That feels weird I say. I can't help posting it again, just in case no one's ever seen it. Canadians. A lot of people are not sure where Ottawa is. I'm very bad but I owe some people some tapes from like months ago. I will only be here for a few days before I leave for Scotland. I hit one shot that was as if I was Tiger Woods! On Cannabis. And things! Then later on I was in bed with some canadian chick. Melody Maker was a text book i hoped i'd one day understand. Its looking quite good actually. I even saw where I'm sitting. Buckley's version of Hallelujah while sitting on the bus today. Feel self-conscious now hiding these in here. Maybe I'll stop doing it. Go off and listen to it and you'll end up in the mood I'm in now. And I could not sleep the only other thing I wish I would have done. Vilkas' directions suck: My mobile is Use don't abuse this number. I grew older and began to take more notice of this ritual. I'm now wandering around fixated by all these new sensations. I'm not sure what I'll do without her for the next ten days. She's THAT cool. It's the "my girlfriend left me, what shall i do?" post, this time with a twist. I'm sure the rain will continue to follow me to Scotland as well. / ee / +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

All aboard for the Sinister Express Message-ID: Kids, I have been appointed spokesperson for just one little - but essential - bit of Saturday's meet up plans. This, of course, doesn't detract from Archel's status as Picnic Mum and it also doen't mean that I know anymore than the information I am giving you here. So, this is for people who will be travelling from London to Brighton on Saturday 25 May for the picnic/scrabble tournament/beachwear fun. Here's the plan. Meet at Victoria Station at 12.30. Hang around in flares and charity shop clothes outside the Burger King at the station, which is opposite the HUGE departures board. Wear your B&S badges and look winsome and twee. We will all find each other. Catch the train to Brighton at 13.08. Stragglers will not be tolerated. Or rather, they will, but they'll be late and miss out on some of the fun. The train gets us to Brighton at 13.57, where we will be met by Archel, who will be standing behind the barriers waving a small flag and cheering. So, if you're coming from a station other than London, you could also arrive around that time, so Archel can take us all to the beach together. Have we got that? Saturday 25 May Victoria Station (outside Burger King) 12.30 My mobile is 07985 141447 - no stalkers please, unless you try to win my heart by sending me expensive gifts. Stevie Trousers's number is 07855 089167. If you do call me, I may not be any use at all, as I don't know London and probably won't be arriving until 12.20 myself, but I'll do my best. So, see you all on Saturday. Get swotting up on your obscure words containing the letters Z X and Q in readiness for the great scrabble championship!

I think it's already peaked with my belle and sebastian trip to detroit, chicago, and atlanta. But how can it happen so early? This is my first summer in 5 years without a job. Well, I work about once or twice a week at a record store, but that leaves a LOT of time open for doing other things. The record store I work in is also a cafe, and we hold a pop quiz every thursday. It's just for fun, and a 20 dollar gift certificate. But anyway, I'm writing the one for a week from thursday on punk, but am completely devoid of what to ask. I volunteered to do it because we have a round where we play part of a song backwards, and I thought it would be funny to play the Clash's "Mensforth Hill" backwards. I'm really in a pickle. Speaking of pickles, I had a wonderful time headin' up north to the land of weird accents and bad sweet tea. Me and my trusty sidekick justin hung about in Detroit/Ann Arbor (big props to those wonderful sinisterees who put up with us there!) and then in Chicago (big props to those wonderful sinisterees who put up with us there!) and then back south of the mason/dixon line for atlanta (no props to the sinisterees, since I only met one!) I had the honor of singing on Dirty Dream Number 2 and There's Too Much Love, which was nice. I tried to give props to everyone's favorite sinister, Ms. Laura Llew, but some bitch grabbed the mic. All I got out was "Hey Laur..." What a bitch. I also have to mention that we should have a sinister TV channel. We can have a little talk show, perhaps caitlin pigtails could do the news, and Kirsten and Mandee can have a comedy hour! And don't forget Honey and Linda's annual State of the List address. Anyway, highlights of the trip: All you Can Eat KFC BUFFET (with chicken gizzard!) Passing the self proclaimed "Most AWESOME FLEA MARKET IN THE WORLD" (this was painted very largely on the front of the building) "HUNGRY JACK!" "OKEY DOKEY BRAND CHEESE POPCORN!" "BABYHAM!" Ken Chu Hearing a guy in Atlanta say, "I hear Jar Jar Binks is, like, a senator now. I mean, no wonder Corscant fell." Windy Windy Ann Arbor, and DDR (Christiaan is some sort of god at this) Amy Longcore's excellent company! Fishtailing in Chicago Ken Chu Hearing about (but being convinced by) the world's RADDEST bar. Dancing to Beans Meeting a slew of smashing and sexy sinisters And, who could forget, Ken Chu I saw the movie About a Boy the other day. Me and my visiting sinifriend Sara decided it made us feel REALLY twee, but I think that was a good thing. It was a great day. A punk guy came into the store and gave us some of his little zine thing to distribute for a dollar a piece. The cover has a swastika with fists on each side. When asked why he did that, he just shrugged. Shouldn't the swastika (unless he meant it as 'good luck', which I doubt) be anti-punk, since it most commonly represents a fascist government? Why do people do this? I guess that's what you get when you listen to bands like the crucifucks. No Offense. You know I love you guys. I also had a dream about sinisters last night. Isn't that strange? "I'll buy you an Egg McMuffin...with ALL the fixins" -Matt P.S. I'm just warning Ms. Llew, that I will appearing outside her home late one evening, with an acoustic guitar, and I will sing her "Hestitating Beauty" (with the lyrics oh-so-cleverly changed from Nora Lee to Laura Llew) until she marries me. Just thought I'd warn you all. P.P.S. Isn't Sarah just the CUTEST??? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

This right here is my second post for the list. I'm not much of talker when it comes to these lists so I just sit on the wayside and lurk until something strikes my fancy. But to tell you all the truth nothing really has, just a report on things in my neck of the woods. > > First off I would like to say a giant HELLO to all the nice folks I met and the Detroit and Chicago shows. I didn't get to any of the meetups sad to say but I was pretty exhausted from the travels, drinking with theater actors before the show and a few other little incidents that involved Vicadin. The shows were great though, Chicago being one of the best shows I've seen in ages. Definetly brought a smile to this face and I almost tapped my feet if I hadn't been smooshed into the railing of the Congress theater. Thank goodness for the Toronto Twins next to me to make me feel a bit lighter in my shoes. I also copped an accidental feel on one of them as Stu asked me to help them up over the rail until he found an much easier and safer route. I did thank him though...hehehe...Bad me! All in all it was a weekend to remember...cheers to that. > > I know I won't get a straight up answer on this one but it's a question that has been haunting man since the dawn of slacks. What is it with Girls?? I know there isn't anything you can say but they are perplexing this boy. Example....I met a great girl(lets call her Erin, I DO) about a month ago and was swept.....she was cute as a button and funny and actually had a taste in music(unlike most of the Chicagoland suburban tarts that I always seem to run into). We got on great the first time and it looked like things were going OK and another meet up was in order. Over the weekend was this supposed other meet up or DATE...ick i hate that word. Oh and to make it easier on the both of us shy kids we had chaperones of some sort. The only thing this supposed girl did the whole night was face the other direction of the rest of us and utter a sentence or two...only when spoken too of course. I was completely shattered, I had nearly married this girl in a dream two weeks ag! o an! > d in an instant became a widower. So needless to say I'm a bit on the sad side here but I shall persevere until I casually stumble into the next apple of my eye. Sorry to bore you with that...it's not quite worth writing a screen play for since there was no hollywood ending but a good vent on my part is in order here from time to time. > > Other than that I'm just dealing with mortality issues and how am I gonna get off work for the Jeff Tweedy shows in June. Whats a boy to do? EEK...just a tad of good news. I got my income tax check today from the Uncle Sam guy so I can start making my plans to go to the UK and visit my friend in Sheffield. Yahoo for me!! Enough about me. HOPe your all having enjoyable days and nights where ever you are. Bye Bye > > Raymond Humphrey...aka Howard Shady....aka Skinny Hips Rivers > > P.S.

IN BRIGHTON. as she said i will be meeting the london train at 13:57, so anyone coming from outside the capital (provinces rule!) or otherwise not getting that train, either meet us there around 2pm or let me know what you're doing. my mobile number is 07944 074873 and you can email me here or at something.pretty at btinternet.com. the plan after that is to head to the beach (around 2.15 i suppose) and do traditional picnic things (if you fancy your chances on pebbles, feel free to bring a football, though frisbee might be more feasible). if it rains we will go to *the george* pub, which can be reached by going down to the bottom of trafalgar street - sharp left under the road as you come out of the train station. there will be scrabble i hope, although if it's windy probably not outside - i haven't quite worked this out yet. there will also be *EUROVISION* for anyone who wants to cram into my flat later - as Robin the Stout suggested to me this morning, we can have karaoke and/or a eurovision sweepstake! ok i think that's about it. do phone me if you get lost/scared/dazed/confused, otherwise i'll see you on saturday! luv archel xxx ps. this will be the last brighton picnic in my current flat, cos we went to see a new one this morning and are moving in on the day before my birthday! (my birthday is on 19th june, by the way, in case you want to send me gifts/housewarming stuff.) which reminds me... pps. send maddie expensive gifts cos she deserves them! ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Message-ID: <000001c200ee$4b185ee0$79a1b7c2@motjuste> After having spent my time dutifully in stir, I mean, in the nursery, I now feel compelled to write some sort of introduction. It SHAN'T be witty! I promise. I joined the list five years ago, already, but it seems that most of the oldtimers have moved on to filthier pastures, so, what my problem is that I can't stay away is anyone's guess. Anyway, after a long intermission (or, perhaps, "remission"), I've decided to marry you all over again. When is the honeymoon, and what shouldn't I wear? I'd send a picture of myself for Honey to post, but doubt that even the one of me in nothing but my "I Heart Ken Chu" strap-on would be sufficient to pull any of you to Ukraine. I have very little else to contribute, other than a music recommendation, and a question. I don't know if this qualifies as indie-anything, but since they are just about the only good Ukrainian rock band, I think they should have a mention: Okean Elzi. I doubt they are sold in your local record shop, but you can prolly find them through something Napster-like. Start with the songs "Sosni" or "Toi Den".

I am in suprisingly good form despite skool etc. At this point i just want it all to be over and i can gget on with the summer but i'll have to wait a couple of weeks for that to happen but regardless of that i am in fine form Thus wrote Trish Delish "i noticed that there's a new piece of writing up there, i'm guessing it's by stuart though could be stevie either? http://www.banchory.net/belleandsebastian/ also hazarding a guess, but it seems to be the cafe mentioned in a lot of sleeve notes, the one where the band did/didn't form, depending on whose version you listen to" The piece i think was written about Cork in the subtext as i am undergoing the withdrawel symptoms after the closure of my fabulous favourite eating emporium (hereafter know as COFFEE). Java Joes on cook street is "dead and gone and with o leary in the grave" (if you name the poet you get a prize i think) It has been a favourite place for me to go and while away a few hours in the summer or winter whilst at the same time chatting reading thinking or eating. The interior was dotted with tables that didn't match sofa's that looked like it could tell thousends of stories about things that had been done and said over (it would be scary if it really did talk though*we don't want to hurt you we just want to be your friend*) little booths where you could hide yourself away a bord with numerous amoutns of food choices on it- a ceiling that had silver balls hanging from it and a staff that you couldn't actully seperate from the clientelle (Except that often time they were the only ones actully in there ). It closed at easter and hasn't opened since-the shutters are down and the inside sparten and torn up- i hope a new cafe doesn't open up cos that would be sacreligeous in every sense of the word. It will never ever ever be replicated but will live in till i have enough money to start up a place that i would want to hang out in .Untill then it will just be tribes for me- a horrid place where they have minumum charges and skater kids hanging out and they (TUT) expect you buy things-they just don't know about running a bussiness. But on another point some on the list have started to question where they are going in life and why nothing good or really bad really happens to them. we all feel like that at various times in our lives and i do at the moment-no real direction but just being pushed along by the expectations of other people. DOing courses at school what we don't really want to do but feel we ought to just in case of the future. I hate it but we especially are bombarded with this "need to succeed" philosophy by our careers teacher who tells us (Albeit through gritted teeth) that we should get as much money as possible now and then enjoy it when we have sense enough to do it properly. I couldn't fathom why she is a guidence counselor. She evidently wants to encourage people to be miserible for 40 years until retirement before *enjoying* ill gotten gains-it isn't good advise to give to confused 18 year olds on the cusp of life and still (well a few of them anyway) holding some sort of idealism about life and what it can offer and what they can give back.That is todays lesson over i hope people are happy and plans for the summer are slowly coming to fruition peace+love+plague and pestilence to all jonathan +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I thought there wasn't enough Jar Jar in it. everytime he was on screen I got all excited that he was going to do something funny, and then they just cut to some scene of Anakin sulking. But I did like all the stuff with Chancellor Palpatine. I've decided that Ian McDermid is my favourite actor in the worlde, and I want him to play me in the story of my life. I notice from the ever popular IMDB that he played a vicar in something he was in once, so he'd be perfect. I mean, you can just imagine him saying something like "Hate the Sin, love the Sinner", can't you? Onto music... I saw some top bands play live here in sunny Dublin recently. in the one weekend I saw both The Soundtrack Of Our Lives and The Hives. They were very good. I have decided that Swedish music is the best and I am going to change my name to Astrid and move to Sweden. I also liked Lambchop when I saw them last week, but I was less impressed by the cockfarmer who sat behind me and special friend Rener and kept going on about how they were "a huge ensemble" in a loud twunty voice. some people shouldn't be let out. And I am excited about Múm playing Dublin next Tuesday. If I had a FISJYERLAP t-shirt would I look sad if I wore it to the gig? and on to business. is anyone game for a Dublin Sinister meetup next Friday? that's the 31st of May. We have a Sinister American coming to visit so we should be friendly. I have nothing in particular in mind at this stage, but if people get back to me I'll try and uselessly organise something. beyond that I have no great wisdom to impart. Like many other countries we have had elections recently, and like many other countries scumbag parties increased their share of the vote. a certain comfort can be taken from the dismal performance of what passes for a far-Right here, at least. bless you all, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Hmmmm, I'm so excited, I'm moving to London at some point next month. Hmmmmm, it's late and I'm drunk with tiredness. This very early part of May the 21st gave rise to the thought "how do you go supermarket shopping on the internet?". I typed in www.asda.com, cranked up the music and clicked on the 'login' box, this seemed a good place to start my trip, but my dreams of trollyskating though the amazingly quiet 'virtual' aisles with The Relationships in place of the usual supermarket music have been dashed to a thousand shreds, they asked me for my postcode and it was 'outside the delivery area'. For a moment, I imagined the thousand single mums in their too-tight jeans slap their change-filled back pockets at me in rather a "na na na nana, we got in to Asda.com and you have to settle for Sainsburys" kind of way. I'm not that worried about it actually, I worked at the Asda distribution cenre a few weeks ago and I KNOW what happens to that "freshly" baked stuff before it gets to the shelves, ho ho ho. and what with working so much lately (and becoming somthing of a social outcast in the process) I have been thinking about the kind of loony people who do jobs like this even when they're not needing money like mad like me now or something in that sort of direction anyway. Perhaps they're in permanant meditation? Yeah, so, not getting out, maybe it's not so bad? if you set your mind to it. Like if your a Monk, high in your monestery, with nothing but small islands dotting over the hazy warm sea below and surrounding you. With a daily routine and definate lifeplan cos the walls and the regular chiming of a bell keep you from dreaming of the outside world. Workplace, maybe tempory is not the way, maybe you have to learn to love the "day in, day out". Learn to love the simplicity and noticing and knowing little things others don't ever notice about the place. Lifelong love of your special one. These old people!, they met as children. They married at ages' 18 and 21 and they're still together at 80 something. Now, thats just too easy! lucky them!, or is it that marrage vow thats kept them together? or are they of a simpler time, that the Monk in his monestery and the man in his 27th year of the same job also live in, are they the lucky ones or are we? I'm not questioning freedom, just where we need it and where our walls do us good. Emptiness is romanticised Simplicity is chic. Ok time for bed, even the See-hear programs are coming to an end now and my thoughts about needing glasses to see properly are being magnified by the inabilty to focus on words propery now, gah! I'm so tired. ........you're a STAR etc...

It's this nice programme, also, that allowed me to finally manage and return to #sinister.. up to now i thought that IRC had personal issues with me. if interested anyway go to www.download.com and search for trillian. it rocks... also i got a new cursor.it's HELLO KITTY and looks cool!

Message-ID: hello sinister. i am posting again. rather soon. hmm. *** what happens when you find your life's work -- your real life's work, that is -- has been something completely futile? pointless? silly, even? if i were the emo lindsey, i would cry about it. if i were the writer lindsey, i would write about it. if i were the depressed lindsey, i would cry and write about it. and i suppose at this moment -- or at any given moment on any given day -- i am one or all of the above, and so i am writing. and trying not to cry, because then my makeup would just get screwed up anyway. *** i think the most disturbing revelation i had tonight was that this job i've been plugging away at silently for a lifetime was one of which i wasn't really all that aware. people have mentioned things to me about it, of course, but i usually laugh in the most charming, twinkling little giggle i have in me and say i like it too much for my own good, but it surely isn't my entire existance. they give me a sidelong glance of doubt (and perhaps, i now realize, pity) and we move on in conversation to music or books or my latest project at the paper. but the realization of this duty and my dedication to it has crept up on me in the last week, and i am appalled at myself and the course of my life. everything i say and think and do all boils down to one inevitable hunger, an addiction, really, for and to this thing i think i am supposed to cling to as part of my inescapable role as a woman in the universe of man. why? why do i do it? *** i bought a cat this week. well, to be more accurate, matt and i drove to milford, nebraska. to a big country house. and went around back where i looked at nine kittens, all of them running around my feet, mewing, perfectly content with the state of things in their current location. and in a weird sort of brave new world-ian child begetting, i stooped down and picked up each kitten, inspecting and petting and testing. i think i thought one of them would run to me, and i would have an earth-shattering epiphany that THIS WAS TO BE MY CAT AND I ITS OWNER. you read about that. that didn't happen. so i picked the one that didn't look like any of the others. she looked like her mum, though, and she sat in my arms, purring a bit and looking up into my face. i looked at the perfectly symmetrical stripes on either side of her grey eyes, and told matt she was the one. her ears were big, and i thought the better to hear music with. the little girl at the house tried desparately to get me to take another. 'but this one is nice!' she pleaded in her little voice. and i smiled, and complimented the pink basket on her bicycle, and said i thought i could take good care of the one i wanted. we agreed, then, that my cat was really lovely, and she put the baby in a box for me to take home. so. i took sandwich to the vet shortly after showing her off at the daily nebraskan. the nurses at the clinic all loved my little bundle of joy. and one of them dropped the big bomb. 'i'm going to give you back to mom, now,' she told the squirming sandwich, who didn't actually mind all of the glorious attention she was receiving re: her cuteness. but there it was. mom. i'm a mom. before i've even completed the life's work, i am a mom, now, and have a mouth to feed. a body to hold when she cries. another little heart beating against my own when i place her on my chest, and watch her face as she rises and falls with the movement of my breath. *** i told someone that i have begun the spinster lifestyle, living alone with a cat. i told someone she was better than a boyfriend. funny. funny that she has to stay at matt's until i move in. funny that i can't have her with me on this night. for this cosmic acceptance of my destiny. for this...well. for the night that i realized i am forever and hopelessly gone on everything, especially any and all members of the male race. in what might be a subconscious last attempt to grasp love in any tangible form, my child is somewhere else, with other people, being loved by them and not by me. and loving them. not me. just like the missing recipients of my humble work. oh. no. oh. no. i. lindsey baker. am addicted to boys and having them. i have spent my life. for them. oh god. oh god. xxx lou _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Loba, however, is a collosal work of shit. i used to feel unqualified to read this sort of thing -- this she-goddess, wolf-woman crap always perplexed me. i didn't get it, i thought it must be beyond me. that was years ago. i like to think i'm a bit more well-read these days, but Loba still sets my teeth on edge. i don't understand how anyone finds this sort of work at all appealing, much less EMPOWERING and LIBERATING, as the blurbs on the back of it proclaim with such vigor. if i were a woman i would be angry at this book. i would be angry at the people writing so many flowery praises about the whole concept -- this wolf-goddess being portrayed as some mythical source of female strength... it's insultingly stupid. like a catholic priest hanging around a clinic for rape victims, trying to tell these terribly wounded women that jesus will heal them -- i think i would go so far as to claim that DiPrima's immense success with Loba is a form of exploitation. she seems to be taking advantage of that desperate need for hope, any hope, that a woman feels after she is ravaged, as so many are, by our culture. * i should admit right now that i'm not interested in feminism anymore. i used to be very very adamant and forthright and ambitious when it came to my beliefs concerning feminism; nowadays, it just tires and frustrates me. this is not entirely DiPrima's doing -- it's just i've heard far too many arguments & endless debates over the merits of feminism vs. female-ism, eroticism vs. sexual empowerment, roles of subversion, effects of gender roles, stereotyping, sexist parenting, and the like. feminism today has turned from a steady march of women's progress into a huge and unholy mess, and frankly, i don't think much is being accomplished by it anymore. i guess i'd like to think that we could all just reach some agreement to move on, reach post-feminism and be done with it. i'd like to think that (while we acknowledge that women have been and continue to be oppressed) we have reached the point at which distinguishing between gender-based oppression and oppression in its other forms is simply doing more harm than good. i'd like to think gender politics is just another method of general politics -- another perfectly curable social ill that's currently being perpetuated by a distinct group of evil men. but deep down, i'm very, very scared. i'm scared that a penis is inherently a weapon. i'm scared that sex isn't anything more than a power struggle. i'm scared that there's a biological divide between the oppressed and the oppressors -- a chromosome that makes men into automatic monsters. * there's this girl, see. a girl i've dated on and off for the last five years or so -- a girl who breaks my heart over and over, and whom i love terribly, despite everything. she's a beautiful, fragile, and careful person, and it's due to the damages she's suffered at the hands of other men that her relationships never work out. we're not dating now. we've never really been able to maintain our relationship for more than a few months at a time: things always end up falling apart, it seems, despite our best intentions. this is mainly because this girl was hurt when she was young. she was raped by her boyfriend -- a boy who used to live down the street from me, in fact, though i never knew him. a boy, eerily enough, who was in the music business. some of you may have some experience with this sort of thing. i never did. despite everything she told me about what had happened to her, i was very unprepared for the repurcussions of this girl's rape. i didn't know then what i know now -- that these traumas have their ways of echoing again and again in the heart. and so, when we we were kissing one night, and touching each other, and feeling -- god -- wonderful... i did not expect this inevitable, rising fear. now, i have never raped anyone. i have never hit a girl, and i have never kissed or had sex with anyone i did not love in some capacity. i don't enjoy making other people feel uncomfortable. i don't like to hurt people or even animals. i am admittedly very defensive and will sometimes behave in a mean way if i feel i am being threatened or manipulated, but even at those times i feel terribly guilty if i actually end up hurting anyone. so it was with terrible surprise that i was first made aware that this girl had become terrified of me. she backed away. she curled up. she cried. it was not my fault, and it was not hers, but when this girl began to get scared of me -- well, i have never felt so helpless and horrible in my life. there is nothing i can say to describe that feeling: it was as though i had destroyed the person i loved, simply by loving her. and of course, i didn't want to be identified with ... him. i didn't want her heart to confuse me with that monster, that son of a bitch, that stain of a human being. i felt as though i'd done something terrible to her, that my body contained something poisonous and evil -- my fingers that had itched to touch her collarbone, my tongue that wanted to taste her earlobes, my hips that liked the way hers would bump against them -- all of these things were as much mine as they were his. if she could see no evidence in my eyes that my love for her was different from his, then perhaps it wasn't any different. maybe she's right to see him inside of me. i back away. i curl up. i cry. this is how i learn Rule Number One. the First Rule is simple: sex destroys everything. * "Sometimes," says Douglas Coupland, "people get broken in ways they can't ever be fixed." if there ever was a way for a boy and a girl to love each other, without oppression or fear or sadness, i'm afraid that this girl has been broken. i'm afraid that i have been broken. i'm scared for all of us, but my footnote is one of hope -- i hope that our kittens and our children, our poems, our factories,and our brand new shoes are all bright and shiny and perfect enough to make us happy. i hope we can replace one kind of love with another. i hope we can find some other way to make ourselves whole, and safe, and pure. love, baker,baker __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

James said: >>I have been thinking about the kind of loony people who do jobs like this even when they're not needing money like mad like me now or something in that sort of direction anyway. Perhaps they're in permanant meditation?<< Which is funny because I've been pondering about the same thing for a while, since this afternoon my mum is going on a job interview to work in the place she used to work in - my mother's supposed to be on holiday! Is she mad? Is she on permanant meditation or should she require medication to stop her going loon? I asked her why and she said "well I'd be bored and all my friends are working there." I was hoping for a less normal answer. --- James talked about marriage too, and long term relationships(?). >>These old people!, they met as children. They married at ages' 18 and 21 and they're still together at 80 something. Now, thats just too easy! lucky them!, or is it that marrage vow thats kept them together? or are they of a simpler time, that the Monk in his monestery and the man in his 27th year of the same job also live in, are they the lucky ones or are we?<< To me, not being fickle is always a bliss, to not be tempted by every thing that flies by that isn't yours. Someone posted a while ago about the "undo" button on modern computers, the way it's changing everyone's mindset into thinking that everything in this world is editable, erasable, and it's true for a lot of things - contracts can be revoked, marriages divorced, pregnancies aborted, bad shopping refunded. Everything now appears to be so convenient that some people no longer worry about consequences anymore, thinking that things can be mended with a mouse click, things can be made better from "a change", the magic powder of the modern day that improves things without effort. Longevity is no longer heralded as a good thing - well it's boring for a start. Cars are no longer built to last, why repair when it's cheaper to replace, why keep the old with all the flaws when you can have the new, with a totally new set of flaws? Feelings of attachment is nothing but perversion. Some people were guilty of being afraid of change, can people be guilty for being fearful of stabilty? Ken p.s. I might be moving to London in a couple of months - I need a change. p.s.2: will B&S change their minds about not giving out the answers to the treasure hunt clues? ****************************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT This email, its content and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may be legally privileged and/or confidential.

I have been reliably informed by one Richard Keen, currently chewing the toys in the nursery (hi Richard! *waves*) that there are in fact TWO Burger Kings and TWO departure boards at Victoria! Good God, what is this world coming to? etc. I was thinking of a particular Burger King and a particular departure board, as Richard says: The Burger King you're thinking of is opposite the Kent departures board (the left hand split of the station if you're coming from the tube/main entrance). It's the departure board that doesn't have an enormous ITN news video screen on it. That's the BK I'm thinking of! BUT, Mark the stud has suggested that we post Sinister representatives at both bastard Burger Kings opposite both bastard departure boards, so we will all find each other. I think. So, there you are. Unless there are three stupid BKs at Victoria, we will all find each other. In other news: listening to old tapes of Suede B sides is rilly funny. Chanel mascara rocks and doesn't smudge when one goes swimming. Bill Harris is a dead nice bloke and holy shit I'm late for the pub quiz.

Instead of seeing the band at Chicago I was out gallivanting around with my friends. More importantly, this weekend was my annual camping trip out to southwestern Wisconsin. I had one of the greatest weekends I have had in a long time. Me and my friends chilling with a few beers around a camp fire at with B&S or Drake on a stereo was the action at night. and during the day I could not have asked for more. While hiking we had about five mysterious sightings of what we called "Man with Dog" he was superb. Though we never really conversed with him we made up a full background of the "Man with Dog" WE decided that he changed our lives, but we're not exactly sure how, we're still figuring that out. And I let my beard grow out which I have not done in a about 2 years. Also after listening to every B&S disc I have decided that Put the Book Back On the Shelf is my favorite song. I made me extremely happy when I realized this. A moment of Zen...just kidding.

(reponse to proposed discussion,long time ago methi Message-ID: <9c.20527b9b.2a1de1e2@aol.com> first, let us say the definition of "perfection" is "that which is flawless" as opposed to personal perfections that are perfect because of their imperfections. i'm not exactly sure how to say this but i will do my best. indeed, perfection is the most boring and fantasised about ideal since the creation of "gods" and the disobedience of pandora and eve. as human beings, we need schemas to organise information in our minds. this is manifested in the external societies and governments we build and dichotomies such as good and evil, god and satan, norms and deviants, light and dark, male and female, empowered and powerless, murderer and mother, youth and old-age, war and peace, black and white, nomad and settler, conqueror and conquered, success and failure, creator and nurturer (deals with male and female, god as our "father", "mother" earth), even patriot and traitor, upper vs. middle vs. lower class. each is a reference to the other. One is supposed to want or be one or the other. this type of discrimination has attempted only weakly and narrowly to be fought in the different equality movements(civil rights, women's lib) and in discrimination cases dealing with age, sex, race, religion, and crime. newton has already proven scientifically that these opposites exist in his third law of motion and can be seen in literature from the bible and beowulf to "the metamorphosis". it seems we cannot create perfection without destroying these hierarchies inside every individual's mind. must we show someone what is bad in order for that person to do good? must we seek power in order not to be powerless, or success so we are not failures? until now we have evolved as civilisations rather than as individuals. how do we teach our progeny to think for themselves so that they can have happiness without sadness and peace without war? shall we sterilise those who cannot? or should we "educate" them? what about a discussion concerning the reality of "education" and whether or not you can educate or simply indoctrinate? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Cheers, Gordon. Has anyone else been inundated recently with emails inviting them to visit "webcam" pages, or to buy doctor-approved penis enlargement pills? I used not to get too much spam but it seems to be spiralling out of control. I can't imagine that I could get on a mailing list somewhere as a person likely to have a small penis, perhaps they do it by postcode or something (I'll never look at my neighbours the same way again). Unfortunately I won't be exhibiting myself in Brighton this weekend, I have a prior engagement. Amazingly, I'm being paid (gasp) to perform (on my instrument - that is - to play music, not to do what Mark Casarotto was thinking about just then), in a place called "Camberley". Its a private party type affair so I'm hoping it will be the kind where everyone gets pissed half an hour in and doesn't really mind if the band's a bit shite. I've been instructed to bring my Kazoo, but I've just discovered it's broken, so I will have to waste more money on a new one tomorrow (I don't know why I bother: did you know, if you can't "sing", that is, reproduce musical notes accurately with your vocal chords, which I can't, then neither can you play the Kazoo). A shame of course because I've never been to one of these Brighton shindigs and I'm sure everyone will have a jolly good ruckus without me. I'd like to extend my sympathies to everyone at this stressful time of year which is exam time for so many of us. I sat the most evil one this afternoon, which would, I believe, have made Satan himself bow down in humbleness at the evil of the exam. And so we draw to an end this delurking, night night all James xx "I can't live without my Ken Chu movies" --Tim Wheeler +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I don't blame you, I'd just like to know that we are alone. b. now this is slightly unprofessional but I am scraping a dry barrel of terrible men's magazines at work for stories and I like you all a lot better. I need some interesting 'facts' from France/ Germany/ London , with a focus on technology and medicine...oh I am sorry, but to compliment this you might send me also anecdotes of belle and sebastian high jinx there and I could compile a brief and fun guide of sinister stories from / activities to do when in europe - at the same time! if you do know anything 'fascinating' (so specific I know) then mail me , not the list. love ruthx _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

It was the perfect time for fox in the snow, at least so dannypie thought as he sauntered casually towards his house. The hellish ordeal also known as the Macroeconomics 2 exam was over. As Danny entered his house, he didn�t know that anything was wrong, in fact he thought that everything was just perfect, he made a mug of blackcurrant and elderflower tea and headed upstairs to play on #sinister. Danny logged on and noticed Archel sitting quietly and someone known only as e0. �Where�s Sadie?� Danny wondered to himself. He asked the question out loud and almost jumped out his chair as e0 replied: �Sadie. Has been kidnapped. You must pay us. 1000 unmarked bags of haribo. In the next 48 hours. If you ever want to see Sadie again. You will be given more instructions. Soon.� Danny sat there shaken, �Archel, Archel� he cried, there was no reply from miss Archel, she was obviously out to lunch. Danny, (A.K.A the pie) knew exactly what he had to do. He�d promised that it would be over, that he wanted the quiet life, that�s why he moved back to Stevenston, even went to university. He knew now that he was needed though to find Sadie and bring fun filled Sadieisms back to sinister. He picked up the phone: �Apples?� �Pie?� �Apples!� �Pie!� �Sadie�s been kidnapped, I�ve booked your flight, get over here as soon as you can.� �But my job�I thought that we�d given up, tried to pursue a life of normality?� �Sadie needs us apples, just use your cover� �Okay.� Amy Apples got off the phone and ran into work, she packed her belongings and threw her quilt cover over the boss, she stopped to doodle a little fox on the notepad and then promptly jumped on an apple plane. She was over at the pie�s house in just under an hour. �Thank god you�re here apples.� Danny said with relief �What clues do we have?� � Just this note.� Danny passed her the note and she scanned it quickly taking in every word once, twice, then three times. �God this guy�s really got our apples in a juicer. You know we can�t do this alone don�t you?� Apples asked �Yes, we need him back, but he�s a celebrity now, and he vowed to give up the detective work for good�� �Don�t worry we�ll get him� apples quickly interjected She picked up the apple phone and dialled �Chuey baby, how are you?� �Oh I�m just fine, I�m sitting drinking some red bull and eating paste.� Answered the chu-ster �Listen we need your help, Sadie�s been kidnapped we gotta get 1000 bags of haribo to the kidnappers. Please come help us Chuey, we gotta save Sadie� �1000 bags that�s impossible, don�t worry I�ll be right over� Chu slammed down the phone and rushed to meet apples and pie. They met outside Sadie�s house. There was no time for hellos, no time for hugs for friends who hadn�t met in years. Kung fu Chu kicked Sadie�s door down with an almighty Waaa-Chaa kick. They rushed inside, all calling for Sadie, screaming for her, hoping it had all been a hoax. It hadn�t. Pie rushed upstairs to look for clues, for anything. Apples looked downstairs while Mr. Chu headed to the fridge to find a can of red bull. Amy and Danny searched the whole house from top to bottom finding nothing except for a little pack of sweets saying gummy sheep. Sadie never ate sweets, her teeth couldn�t handle it. They decided it was a CLUE. The Chu found a note in the fridge though; he stood with his can of red bull in one hand and read the note out loud: �I knew you�d come here. Well done. Your next instructions. Leave the haribo. In the Sini-house.� �The Sini-house!� Pie cried out in surprise, �Nobody�s been to the house-house for years, we all thought it was haunted and were to scared to go into the attic.� �Well we HAFTA!� Chu cried out. Chu started to rush out the door when dannypie screamed out: �STOP! Wait I have it, sheep, haribo, Sadie, it all points to one thing: Johnsheep!� �NO!� Chu and apples both cried out in disbelief. �No wait it�s our little sheep, it just can�t be� apples said with a puzzled look �Don�t you think I don�t know that? It has to be though, we at least have to go and question him.� They all left Sadie�s with perplexed, worried looks on their faces and set off to question the sheep. �Listen we won�t interrogate him, we�ll just ask him a few nice questions over a chocolate milkshake�� �Red Bull for me� Kenny interjected quickly �Of course red bull for you, and we�ll ask him if he knows what happened then we�ll take him to the Sini-house and wait and see what happens.� Danny told them as they walked towards Johnsheep�s door. Dannypie knocked on the little sheep handle softly and as john came to the door a look of delight passed Danny�s face before reality dawned on him again and he realised that he could be looking at the Sadie-thief right between the eyes. They questioned the sheep but to no avail, they did however persuade john to take a trip to Sini-house and stay for a few days. They were unsure of John�s guilt but they gave him the benefit of the doubt whilst agreeing between them to keep a close eye on them. �You know�this reminds me of the case a few years ago with your evil sister chuella Devil. You know the only person who could solve that������ �THE LLEW� Amy, Chu and Mr. Sheep both cried out at once. �That�s right kids, the only person to outdo the Chu, is the LLEW, the greatest detective we have ever known� �Isn�t she a hermit now though?� Apples enquired �Yeh she lives in a hill in a forest� Johnsheep replied �I heard she hasn�t spoke in three years, she just sits and meditates and writes out Dorothy parkerisms for day�s on end� Chu added �We have got to at least try, listen I�ll go visit her, she can help us.� Danny left to visit THE LLEW, with him he took frankINCENSE sticks, gold by ryan adams and a look of mirth. He hadn�t seen his old mentor for years and years and was more than a little excited and nervous, he hoped she would talk, would help them, they needed her now more than ever. He took some hot chocolate and the complete book of Dorothy parker poems too. Meanwhile back at Sini-house: Kenny and Apples are going through the clues over and over again, trying to find something they missed, Johnny is sitting eating crumpets and drinking chocolate milkshake when a thought strikes him: �Hey can I see the ransom notes?� Ken and Amy look at him with slight suspicion before handing the note over to the sheep. �Yip just as I thought, look at the grammar,� he shows them the note again, waving it under their faces with triumph as he feels suspicion lift from him �Good god he�s right� Chu exclaims, �only one man writes with sentences as short as that: The boy Gillanders.� �Right I�ll go get him and bring him back to the sini-house� Kenny tells them, �don�t do anything until Danny gets back with news from THE LLEW.� Ken runs off to find Gillanders before it�s too late. Meanwhile Dannypie is bravely making his way through the forest filled with lions, the pie has an affinity with lions though and isn�t too scared, he manages to tame a little friendly lion who gives him a ride to the house of THE LLEW. The door is slightly ajar, Danny knocks but there is no answer. He quietly enters and creeps up the stairs. �Come in I�ve been expecting you� LLEW calls out. Danny rushes in and sees LLEW sitting on her chair knitting a scarf. �You were expecting me?� Danny asks with surprise, �how could you have been expecting me?� �Well Amy left a message on my phone saying you were coming� �Ahhhh, you always taught me to look for the obvious, but can I ask you, I thought you didn�t speak?� �Oh sorry, I can stop if you want�� �No ma�am, we�re desperate for your help.� Danny hands her over the gifts. �Well first we must consult the chocolate.� Llew boils some milk and makes a yummy cup of hot chocolate, she passes one to Danny and sits back down �You�re looking at it the wrong way, who has motive? Who was at the scene of the crime? Who was brave enough to suggest the sini-house? Finally, who can imitate any writing style in the whole world without raising even slight suspicion? Answer these questions you must, then you will have your answer. Now you must leave me, I have knitting to catch up on and a stack of books to get through.� Danny wished LLEW goodbye, wishing he had time to talk to her, to tell her how important she was, but he didn�t. He jumped on the plane back to meet Ken and Amy going through the clues in his head. Who was at the crime? No-one he could think of. Who can imitate writing styles? He didn�t even know why this was important, he thought long and hard but couldn�t come up with any answers until it dawned on him� Archel was at the scene of the crime. She wasn�t at Sadie�s house but she was all on her own when he came into #sini. She could have programmed that e0 to leave that message about Sadie. Archel also was brave enough to suggest the sini-house, he forgot how hardcore she was. If anyone would be brave enough to go the house they once thought haunted it HAD to be Archel. Danny got off the plane and quickly picked up the phone, he hoped Archel wouldn�t suspect he knew anything as he punched the numbers into the phone. �Hi Archel it�s Danny, I have a favour to ask you?� Danny tries to stay calmly as possible as he waits to hear Archel�s reply �Oh hi Danny, I haven�t heard from you in AGES, go on�� �Well remember the sini-house?� �Uh-huh� �Well I wanna have a party in it and you�re the only one brave enough to check the attic to see what that noise is.� �Okay I�ll be over in half an hour.� Danny obviously couldn�t see the other end of the phone but Archel had a huge grin on her face. Danny met Archel outside the house and they both walked in together to be confronted with a confused shout from Ken and Amy of �What�s Archel doing here?� �Errr what�s Mr. Gillanders doing here?� �Well it was him that did it�I thought.� Amy says confusedly. Suddenly it all clicks into place for Danny. Of course, the grammar, the sentences. It all pointed to Gillanders, just like the sheep and Haribo pointed to Johnsheep. Only Archel could imitate the writing style of such a writer. Danny sits everyone down and makes them hot chocolate. He begins the explanation: �Who was at the scene of the crime?� �No-one�� Blurts amy out, �errr, there was no-one there Danny� �See that�s where I went wrong, Archel was there, she was in the chatroom, she programmed the bot, she could have left the note at Sadie�s anytime, Sadie never uses her fridge, it could have been there for weeks for all we know.� �Ahhhh�..� Ken sighs �Then I thought who could possibly even suggest this scary house?� �Archel!� John shouted out �Exactly, she is hardcore, we�re all too twee and scared to come here but Archel�s a hard kid. Then the whole Gillanders thing just confirmed it�Archel is the only person who could have imitated the style of Gillanders. Gillanders obviously couldn�t do it because he was away on holiday, so it had to be a forgery, of course I didn�t even know about Gillanders until I returned and saw him here but still things were already pointing towards Archel.� �Yes it was me.� Archel giggles �WHY ARCHEL WHY?� They all cry out at once �Oh it�s very simple, I need 1000 bags of haribo in order to cast my spell to take over�THE WORLD� �MY GAWD!� Danny exclaimed with fear in his voice �Well either that or Sadie�s eating pancakes out my backdoor and I had to think of some way to get all you guys to come to the Brighton Picnic� Realisation dawns on all their faces. Danny let�s out a giggle �You cheated miss Archel.� �Yip I did. Let�s go join everyone else at the picnic now, shall we?� Fade out.

Message-ID: Ok so i'll include a B&S story in this post even though I come out not looking very good at all. The first time I ever heard them was on the eve of my mates wedding. We had already been and done Amsterdam for the weekend and seeing as though we're supposed to be modern men went out for a 'quiet one' so my mate wouldn't be wrecked on his big day. Down to the local boozer in Stockton Heath (Warrington) and a good night had by all, piled down to my mates with a few lads for a nightcap and at about 1.00am I called my (then) girlfriend to say i'd be around to see her. Popped around and was instantly given a tablet, well it would have been rude not to, her mate was there and we had a mini-music night (tell you about a proper one another time). Anyhoo just as I was peaking her mate put on modern rock song (still my fave although The model's close) and yes, that voice etc...this was now my band. Another pill at 6.00am (I was still in control of course!) everything going swimmingly well, got to 11.00am my girlfriend went to bed and I was sat with her mate on the couch thinking, "By God, i'm going to the first one at the church, no one would ever believe it". Then of course it all went wrong. Quite badly although it could have been worse. Just before I should have left the house i thought i'd go and say bye to Michelle who was asleep. Well I couldn't leave without giving the cutie pie a kiss and cuddle could I but you obviously know what happened as soon as my head hit the pillow. Because I wasn't at home no one could get hold of me, luckily someone got hold of Michelle's mobile number and woke me at, at, at, at, freaking 4.00pm Saturday afternoon (good job it wasn't the match). Drove straight away to pick up my suit (missed the wedding of course but had to show my face) the dry cleaners was shut I couldn't believe it! Phoned them from across the road and strangely a worker was still in there ironing his shirt for the night (gave him a hefty tip for saving my life...Don't close at Four on Saturday's again). Down to the reception amazed looks off my mates (who all thought I was dead) the only thing was that I couldn't be seen to be having fun because of my lateness. When I remembered hearing modern rock song halfway through the night it really cheered me up and some say that it wasn't me who made the biggest mistake of the day (Two people joined at the hip for eternity for Christ's sake!). On a completely unrelated note i wrote a world cup preview for our works magazine (who wouldn't print it as they deemed it offensive) on word, if anyone want's one give us a bell, so to speak & i'll send it. Had to write it mainly for people who don't like football (virtually everyone in here, even most lads! this is Amsterdam though) I couldn't pass on the chance to take the piss out of 32 countries although by mentioning Scotland and Australia I made it 34. If you get even one laugh then it would have been worth it, tis gratis after all. I'm off out tonight to try and recapture the form I had first time I heard B&S which you now know. Glad I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow. Rock on. 'H'. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <20020525105927.33714.qmail@web9804.mail.yahoo.com> hello, this is my first post. i�ve been too scared to post, because you all seem so witty and clever, and write much better than i could ever write. but there�s this one thing that makes every day almost unbearable. i�d like to know how long did it take for you to get over someone, i mean when she or he has broken up with you? my boyfriend ended our relationship already 6 months ago, on december 21st around 22.35 (10.35pm). and i haven�t gotten over it. i cry like everyday, almost constantly. i just don�t know what to do. i don�t have any like minded friends, he was my best friend, and it�s just all gone. we had the same taste in music. i thought we were meant for each other, i was convinced that we�d be together for the rest of our lives. the reason why he broke up with me, was because i am too sad so that i made him sad. but now he has a new girlfriend. and i�m planning my funeral. living has become so difficult, cos everytime i hear some love song or something i have to plug my ears, when i see a happy couple i have to close my eyes, when i hear kissing sounds i have to go and bang my head against the wall. i can�t even listen to some of my favourite bands or albums like: -kings of convenience -bob hund�s �jag rear ut min sj�l� -super furry animals esp. �rings around the world� (i happened to see sfa on conan and it felt awful) -the delgados -the divine comedy all i have left is nick drake, the smiths and classical music, cos those don�t remind me of him. i watch news and crime films, cos there isn�t usually anything about love in them. i borrowed liszt�s cd from the library, cos it got this one piece in it called �fun�railles� and it�s just incredibly beautiful. i listen to it constantly. actually i went to see claude chabrol�s �merci puor le chocolat� and they played it in it and it sounded so gorgeous. i�m terrified about this summer. last summer was the best that i ever had. and i just keep thinking about it. and i also think that what he is doing with her. sometimes i wake up with that thought in my mind and i can�t get back to sleep. i still have dreams about him, like last night. but i can�t remember it right now. i�m so naive that i thought no b&s fan would be like that, i mean at first he said how i was someone he had for long wanted to find and be with. i knitted him mittens for x-mas present and i made this heart on the palm side, so he has my heart in his hand, like i gave it to him. i didn�t plan it that way, the heart on the palm side, it was a mistake, cos i didn�t notice that i had already made a thumb on that side, but then i realized what it could symbolize. he cried when i explained it to him. he wrote me a fairy tale. about us. last x-mas i was making him woolly socks and again i had designed this heart shape pattern on them. (i know boring, but i never know what to get) and then when i was knitting them he phoned and said we should break up. i still got my cell phone full of his text messages, and when we were together i use to write them down. i�ve got two little books full of his messages. i just fear that i never get over this/him, i just miss him so much and i want him back. and i hate myself for ruining the whole thing, and being too sad.. and i�m so tired of crying, but i can�t stop. and i also fear that i turn into some horrible cynical person, who detestes happy people, and love. just like that hobbit from �lord of the rings� named gollum (?!). i want to love and feel being loved, and i want to cuddle and kiss and do things together, but i don�t want to wait ten years to get it. i want it now. i�m sorry for this post. thanks if you could read it through. yours truly, puluxxx (finland) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Message-ID: i missed stuart on much music because i was way up north where there is no such thing. but my friend tells me he spoke of an episode of gilmore girls that is based on the characters of a belle and sebastian song. this delights me for two reasons: 1. i severed my ties to television drama some time ago but one night tuned into the gilmore girls and felt myself pulled into the hijinks of stars hollow. i will admit the show makes me feel as though everything will be just fine (much the same as the music of b&s) and when rory's friend expressed an interest in legal man my affection for the show was cemented right then and there. 2. i like the idea of belle and sebastian song characters being realized before my very eyes. i only wish i knew what episode it was and what characters were there. although maybe it hasn't even happened yet... also, a friend of mine and i are going to be in glasgow a few nights in late june. i think it'll be a tuesday and a wednesday. to those of you who live there or frequent it often: what do you suggest for fun? emily _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

However, to clear it from the drafts folder: Prescience? "I wanna be on TV. Maybe ... a talkshow or something, like Conan or early Letterman." Photos from B&S' appearance at last summers FIB at Benicassim here: http://www.twodeadstars.com/ (thanks for the link, Aitor). Some might find the last one disconcerting. Others will have a different reaction :) Harp. Quite a few people commented favourably on Stevie's harmonica playing during the last tour. Until Tori Spelling is released, you could content yourselves with the new Bill Wells album 'Also in White', on which there is bucketloads of it, Stevie being a member of the core trio that recorded the record along with Bill & (V->Twin & other's) Robert Henderson. I'm not really qualified to write about jazz, but like the soundtrack-ey feel of this album. My attention wandered in a couple of places but still good overall, I reckon. You can find out more from here (beware, I couldn't find the link to Geographic Records today, & this is a page where irresponsible spendthrifts may find themselves ordering a copy) http://www.domino-mart.com/release.php?release=326 Zoe wrote (ages ago now!): "But I was nice to the boyfriend and he said thatI could use his card. Yey!I'm happy. But my back is killing me." And I thought: "Am I the only one sniggering here?" I bet you thought I couldn't plug Peter Miller any more - Wrong! He's re-written the first chapter of Mucky Pups & you can read it at www.badosa.com At the same site you can also read Ricardo Ludovico Gulminelli's 'Fraudulent Fertilisation', translated by Big Pete.

People would make a 90 minute mix tape or CD of their favourite music (excluding B&S, because we're already familiar with their stuff). The tapes were then sent around in a circle, and every few weeks you would get the next tape on the list. This was a huge success until people began to lose touch with one another, and I would like to get things going again. If you would be interested in making a tape (or CD), please email me OFF LIST, i.e. *PRIVATELY*, with your name and town, and I'll see what I can do. Please note that this is for UK residents only, as it would be unfair on some if the postal costs were unequal. Cheers, Colin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I also had a dream about sinisters last night. He said you couldn't be happy and have any emotional depth. Suggested titles for the tune that spring to mind are as following. I'm coming up! Last time I posted I told you I was in trouble. I was in trouble. I am still in trouble... She was mine, for some time... Is it a shame to beg for love? Maybe someday I will feel ashamed... And now I have a dream, and my dream is to go out to some party... I danced... It was so funny, I was dancing and looking so oddly... Or rather, they will, but they'll be late and miss out on some of the fun. I guess that's what you get when you listen to bands like the crucifucks. HOPe your all having enjoyable days and nights where ever you are. We Didn't Want To Go Anyway (Cause We Burn Too Easily)? Or... Lifelong love of your special one. These old people!, they met as children. Tut's tonight. We'll all be going. Maybe see yous there. They're pretty good. WANTING TO BUY MINT CONDITION VINYL OF THE FOLLOWING ALBUMS. Victoria! Good God, what is this world coming to? etc. Harris is a dead nice bloke and holy shit I'm late for the pub quiz. I m still surprised in a happy way, like news of a new baby. Danny rushes in and sees LLEW sitting on her chair knitting a scarf. Sadie's house but she was all on her own when he came into #sini. Only Archel could imitate the writing style of such a writer. Then of course it all went wrong. Quite badly although it could have been worse.

I am writing now from my parents' home in Austin, TX, which I am soon to be vacating, I hope. No ill feelings, though. My current position finds me in a state of dyer unemployment, and that's a shame, becuase there are so many things I really feel as though I should buy. For example, I had never heard the famed debut Stone Roses record until about a month ago, and now the opening track is cemented into my brain. I went to the record shop yesterday just to listen to the introduction over and over. It was great. Also, it would be cool to have a new pair of trousers. However, the fact that I am living quite well without these things only goes to show that I don't necessarily need them. I hope to begin recording in July, maybe a full album, if I can charm Matthew's dad enough. I always wonder if there are any other musicians on the list, as no one really talks about it, but I assume maybe that's to avoid breaking list policy. As I have been saying to many ready to move onto Glasgow as soon as possible, as this rather luxurious limbo makes me nervous. I really need to find a job and a place to stay there. Hmmmm.... rather difficult, I'm afraid. After all, I think I'm just going to go buy that Stone Roses record. It's a classic, isn't it? Well, I haven't really heard the whole thing. Also, I was troubled to learn that I think I own almost every Smiths song. Oh well, Morissey solo albums?

ItÂ’s so good to have a tappity light box at home! Do you know how long itÂ’s been since I was able to read Sinister properly, at leisure, unfurtively (sans furt?) without my thumb and finger constantly resting on Alt and Tab? Well, do you? Nearly SIX MONTHS. IÂ’ve still read every single post though. See, somebody loves you (apart from Mummy Honey, who loves us *all*, natch). Anyway, here I sit, with one eye on the kids taking penalties in the evening sun on the red footie pitch below my window. And my other eye is on YOU. I am glad my two eyes are occupied thus, because were one free, IÂ’d have to look at the brown mush I have just cooked for myself. I tried to stew apples and forgot about them and returned to the kitchen to find a lot of them stuck to the bottom of the pan, but I decided I ought to eat them because I can usually eat something IÂ’ve just cooked, regardless of how foul it looks, but this time I just canÂ’t do it, so they are stuck in limbo between belly and bin. I bet Liz Daplyn wouldnÂ’t have burnt them. Are you organising a picnic this summer? Take my advice, invite Dappers. She does baking very well and always brings enough to share! A slightly belated, but nonetheless heartfelt GREAT BIG THANK YOU to everyone who reported back on the US gigs. I am insanely jealous of all of you who went, especially if you flew out from Britain, you slaaaaags. Sigh. Next time, maybe. By the way, has anyone ever commented on the size of StruanÂ’s earlobes? I noticed they are rather long. Not tie-them-in-a-knot-tie-them-in-a-bow kind of length, but big enough. I know that peopleÂ’s lobes grow as they get older, so can you imagine what theyÂ’ll be like by the time he turns eighty? Shudders! Even arms of sex canÂ’t make up for lobes of, er, length. For my last trick, I will transcribe a paragraph from the 1982 Jackie annual. Take note, people... PUBS Drinking is one thing boys all seem to think is masculine. Lots of boys get drunk at parties and go to pubs when theyÂ’re underage just to prove how tough they are. Unfortunately, thereÂ’s nothing that looks worse or less appealing than a drunk! If your guy shows signs of thinking that drinking is something big, tell him in no uncertain terms just how stupid you think drunks are - boring and unsexy. Then, maybe heÂ’ll think twice before trying to prove himself in such a daft way. I sincerely hope that everyone attending National Pop League on Friday heeds this advice. Righto, thatÂ’s all from me Juicy Lucy PS.

As the dust settles after the wholesale Sinister invasion of Brighton, I am pleased to announce the winners of the ARCHEL AWARDS FOR SERVICES TO FUN AND ENTERTAINMENT: Best Emo Shirt: Stephen Trousse Best Boots On A Canadian: Robyn Fadden Best Drinking Receptacles: Liz Daplyn (retaining the title) Outstanding Contribution In The Field of Music: Robin Stout and his Casio Special Award for Iron Constitution of the Year: Ken Chu With His Plate Of Ribs Best DDR Performance: Mark Casarotto (haha not really it was KEN obviously) Best Provision of Sweets: Stefano S. Briefest/Most Handsome Appearances: Rob Brennan and Steve Peet Best Fall (non-aquatic): Madeleine McNeil Cutest Sleeping Australian: Marianna Longmire Best Footballing Skills In A Hostile Climate: Greg Pallis, Mark Casarotto, Ben Apps, Stevie Trousse, Paul Healy and Stefano S. Tallest American: Sarah Garrett Sonner Best (And Only) Henna Tattoo Of A Sheep: Jeremy Tweddle Best Incoherent Phone Call: Ian Anscombe Look, everyone won something! I am so democratic. So, the weekend went a little something like this: 2pm: Archel meets Robster at the station and checks out his package (of CDs) 2.15pm: the Sinister Express arrives 2.30pm: Archel goes to get Liz and Robin who have already managed to a) get to a pub and b) buy a miniature Casio keyboard off some hippies 2.45pm: the 2nd Sinister express (aka The Slowcoach) arrives with Stevie, Marianna and Ken on board SEE GREG'S PHOTO FOR WHOLE MOTLEY LINE-UP 2.50pm: we go to the BEACH! We drink wine, play football, shiver, eat crisps and Liz's home-made goodies, wrestle, then depart for the warmer comforts of the PIER (Can I stop doing times now? - it's all a bit hazy.) ARCADE GAMES DDR DODGEMS CHIPS ROLLERCOASTER TATTOOS Then onwards to PUB (as featured in many Brighton-set films, I believe) where we have a speedy game of Scrabble - so much for a 'tournament', ha - and all the usual blithering nonsense produced by a group of Sinisters with access to alcohol. 8pm(ish): all back to mine for EUROVISION. I can't remember that much about any of the entries, probably because I was busy throwing poetry books at Maddie, typing randomly on #sinister, eating Haribo and watching various members of our company pass out. Latvia won, as you may know. Well, how far did you think you were going to get with a name like GARLICK, Jessica? Somehow I ended up with 11 people sleeping on my floor this time, which was certainly entertaining although I hope no-one sustained any serious back injuries. Stevie managed to fall asleep on some carboard boxes, which i hope isn't an omen... The next morning we braved rain and wind to visit the 'Gay Lard' cafe, aka Buddies. Our stomachs were at varying stages of health: Robin tried to hide his uneaten bacon burger under his uneaten chips but Ken polished off half a pig's skeleton. Then we lured Mark to the beach, hoping for a repeat of February's water sports (oo-er), but this time we all stayed dry. In fact we didn't linger long as the beach had been invaded by mutant foam - apparently algae-related and not in fact the hideous chemical reaction caused by sewage and/or Poseidon's jism that it looked like. Then I sent the wee tykes on their way, returning to my flat enriched with a) sparkly presents, b) several bottles of undrunk BOOZE and c) the now signature Sinister scent in my soft furnishings. Thank you all who graced me with your presence, and may I assure the rest of you that we thought about you the whole time :) Luv Archel xxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

So i have got roughly 2 and a half days left of my course and these are the kind of "work avoidance" tasks i have been doing to to waste time and to "avoide work": 1, tidy room 2, re-organising records extra-alphabetically, taking the first and second letters from the band names ie, BElle & s, BJork, BLur. 3, re-re-organising records so that they are alphabetically in order AND chronologically in order, with albums first then singles. 4, typing two random words in GOOGLE and seeing what hilarious consequences arise for example, "theramin" and "module" 5, writing to sinister about all my "work avoidance" tasks. I am going to paint the college white tommorow, yey, i'm gonna get all messy and make everyone listen to B&S. I had a lovely birthday by the way, i got a floss dispenser, a cd, a golden bunny rabbit, a red cake, a card with a naked tim burgess and lots of hugs off of people. I agree with lucy "jade must go", she looks exactly like the girl at my school who used to pull my hair and smash my head against a wall and the memory makes me feel sick. see you all soon i hope love hannahxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I don't think so*! Why not? I think it's because no one actually remembered what happened as they all got Absolutely Hammered!! So yes, arrived at Brighton station slightly tired and possibly hungover from a Track and Field event the night before, most people were already there but were kindly waiting for us at the station. It was nice to see everyone there, the world of sinister is once again very well represented with people from several different continents and countries. We paraded down the streets of Brighton towards the beach, stopping at nothing. Except for the off licence. It was a beautiful day for the middle of May, if a little windy. The sun was out on half the sky, the sinister boys slowly gather near the waves until the testostrones got too much and all their boyness exploded! into No not what you think but a game of football on a pebbled beach, which is just as messy but provided much entertainment to the girls and the classier boys who drink beer in a wine glass. Later on we went onto the pier for some FUN. Some went for a Grand Prix session on the "Superfast Go-Karts", some dirty Schumacher-esque driving techniques were observed. I think Stefano was the overall winner. I knew I was unfit, but I discovered just how unfit I was when an energetic game of DDR saw me puffing afterwards, so I went on a more appropriate game instead which was 18-wheeler driving! It was so much fun but I discovered that I was crap at that too as I jack-knived a lorry 20 times. It was all good practice for dodgems later on. Later in the evening we did a "changing rooms" type transformation to the furnitures of a pub, before going back to Archel's Playhouse for Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll. Oh yes. <..memory resumes> The next morning the house looked typical of a house that was the site for Sex Drugs and Rock and Roll, except for the lack of jism needles or charcoaled Fender Strats. I woke up very early in the morning, saw everyone still asleep, and so went back to bed again. I woke up again an hour later, everyone were still asleep, but they've all swapped places! Some went from the sofa to the floor, some from the toilet to the kitchen, some from 69 to 66, I thought it was a practical joke everyone were playing on me. Later on we went for some Gay Larding, which was tasty! Liz started laughing at me for being hungry. Ben committed suicide but heroically survived. After eating Gay Lard, we went to the beach to cover our faces in Brighton Sailor Froth, niice. Ben tried to commit suicide again in the waves but the lifeguard stopped him. Mark Sea for some reason stayed well away from the waves. That's more or less Brighton for you, there were loads of other exciting things that happened that weekend too but I'm keeping the rest to myself because I'm difficult like that. Ken * I say that but of course after writing all these I see Archel** sneaked in a lovely reporting back. ** who is the winner of the Best Host Award and Most Selfless Award Giver Award.. now everyone wins something _________________________________________________________________ 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: hello sinister. i moved this past weekend. i've always hated cleaning and packing everything away into boxes and bags, zipping and taping and sweeping and throwing out, being forced to decide what's worth keeping and what isn't. i put all the tasks off to the very last minute, giving myself about a day and a half to compress everything i own into four big boxes and about eight bags of varying sizes. i got boozed when i was done on a bit too much wine, and then i started thinking. saturday morning dawned bright and sunny, which was a welcome relief after the rain of friday. my parents and sister came down to lincoln, and as they carried my things outside, i listened to the sound of my life as i had known it pick up and leave. i sat in the middle of the floor in my then empty room, and looked up and around. i remembered everything that had happened there, in between those four walls. i wondered how it had all happened, and i started to feel lost. and out of it all, an entire year in a place, one boy remained in the paint, stuck in the cracks between the wooden floorboards. one boy was breathing along with me, and i thought for the first time that i loved him, and that the moon on his shoulder may as well have been a parrot. *** i questioned, for the next few days, and probably still, when, exactly, memories gain weight. and once they do, once they have been assigned a place and number of importance, when do they fall in the rankings? do they? and what happens when you fall in love with a memory? what happens when the weight and significance of something increase merely because it is beautiful for that single memory to be beautiful? these things trouble me, and i don't think i have any of the easy answers. i wrote in a poem that is as yet unfinished that i am fond of questions without answers. and perhaps i am. but my fondnesses always get me into another hole, somewhere, and each one is getting progressively deeper. *** i drove to omaha last night, wearing a brownie girl scout blouse and the pink chucks for a bright eyes show. it was to be the first time i saw them, and i was nervous, chewing gum to calm my nerves and thinking that everything would be ok. i would be ok, listening to my favorite band. i didn't have to talk to people who might or might not be there. it wasn't like i hadn't seen him before the after part. i had. i went to the show alone. i had never done that before, shown up at a venue sans little crowd of support. it was a night of firsts, apparently, but when i got there, i saw some kids i knew. and they hugged me, gave me high fives, liked my shoes and my hair and my glasses. perhaps they liked me. they let me stand with them, at any rate. the friend i had called in desparation showed up, and i stood with him, and he told me everything would be ok. and it was great. the show. and then. conor sang a song to pass the time. and i remembered an afternoon in my old apartment, a chair, the sun filtering through the blinds, running like water across the floor and spilling over my feet and the ball of yarn tucked between them. i remembered the rainbow-colored coasters i made for another boy i had kissed before and after waiting for another to come home. keeping my fingers busy. passing the time. and then, the boy was there. that one. he parked himself in front of me and had an animated conversation with a kid i didn't know. but the boy waved his hands through the air, and i watched conor through the crook of his arm until i noticed that the hand waving in front of my eyes was wearing something of mine, still. the bracelets of mine that i had looped together and put on his wrist the night i met him. we had been standing in the middle of my old room, and i gave them to him. he smiled, and kissed me, and then we danced. we danced, that night, with no music, just his soft counting and loose movements. and so it was decided i would wait, and he would remember every moment every day, when he looked at his hands. i danced last night during loose leaves. and during a song to pass the time, i gulped air, trying to supress vomit and tears and everything else that said i should take his hand again and break the fingers with my broken own. 'come spend the night, we can jump on my bed. you can unwrap me like a birthday present, i will, i will be easy.' *** i am in love with something, again, and perhaps it is not a boy, after all, but an idea and a song, notes written and sung. and so i have moved, and am left reeling in attempts to find something pretty in the movement, a grasp among displaced boxes of shifted yesterdays. i wish someone would teach me how to differentiate between real memories and imagined ones. i wish someone would teach me how to write. i wish someone would teach me how to sing. i wish someone would i wish someone could and so she tapes the picture up again on the stand beside her bed, and turns, waiting for her head to stop splitting in two. love, lou xxx _________________________________________________________________ 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: When I was younger I didn't have many friends, and those friendships I had were fickle things that were made and broken between the bell for lunchtime. As got older I started to realise people who only wanted to talk to you because you had salt and vinegar crisps in your packed lunch aren't really friends. I wanted people to talk to people who cared about the things I cared about. I started to make some real friends. It was when I went away to university that I really started to make proper friends. Suddenly I was surrounded by people who didn't know that my dad was the sex ed teacher. (Nothing is more certain to make a shy young girl blush, than having to sit in a roomful of people while her dad talks about SEX!) My family has a tradition when it comes to making friends. The idea is simple: making friends is difficult, so why complicate matters further by having to learn new names? Find people who have the same name as yourself and then just try to remember your own name. My dad is the expert at this, having 5 good friends all called Dave. My poor mum on the other hand has yet to find a single Wendy and has to make do with people with different names. She has coped admirably and calls people by any name that pops into her head. Fate shone favourably upon me. After an emotional train journey spent struggling with bags I found myself alone in the kitchen of my new halls of residence. My mum, obviously realising the difficulty in finding one's name sake, had packed me off with a packet of chocolate biscuits to help break the ice and make friends. I was standing looking at them wondering where I should put them when in walked a fellow Rachel. We were destined to become friends. Four years later, we sat on the beach, picking up pebbles giggling at the idea of her ever living in London, nervously promising that we would stay in touch. A life time since the crisp based friendships I had once had but I was scared. Friendships are fragile things aren't they? Lately I am realising that they are not. People from my past who I thought would have forgotten me long ago have reappeared. Friends I thought were gone from my life, are back, bringing a smile to my face. True friendship, isn't killed by little things like distance, or time. In a day and a half, I will go to see my friend who I now can't imagine not living London. I can't imagine that she would ever leave my life completely. And I can't imagine that there will ever be a time when I'm not so excited to see her. I mean she talks to me when I don't even have any crisps. Take Care, Rachel _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

By the way, anybody's french on the list? About the bands frmo Austin, I would quote At the Drive in, Lift To Experience, And you'll know us by the trail of Dead but I'm not so sure, everybody 's gonna like them. I just remember a concert in November in Paris, where my main purpose was to see and listen Mercury Rev, and LTE was playing among the other bands that night. They were playing that loud, I was forced to go to the stair and to keep my hands on my hears for the whole concert. That was rather sad for I kind of enjoyed their album, even if a bit violent...

Fooled you. It is I, Miss Marianna masquerading as someone who serves therapy. Or something. And so it's been another gloomy day in London, and another gloomy day at work. I've been unofficially asked if I would maybe, possibly like to make my temporary job at a shitty hospital a permanent job at a shitty hospital. As nice as it would be to have guaranteed work, I think the enjoyment of typing 100 reports a day on the depressing state of other people's lives shouldn't be a permanent career move. Unless of course I'm working for the Guardian and get my own by-line. Incidentally, they think I'm interesting. I'm presuming that in this instance, interesting equals bollocks. Marvellous. Oh well, at least I have the Múm CD. It's ace. Almost as ace as your mother. Arf, arf. Slap. I was walking along Oxford St the other day with my sister doing the obligatory catch-up-over-lunch thang when I stumbled across a poster for the new album. I was very excited. It made me smile and jump up and down. My sister however walked past and headed for H+M whilst insisting on referring to it as HMV. We don't get on all that well. "You're both too different," my Mum would say. "You're too annoying," I would say to my sister. "You're ugly and a weirdo," she would reply. I daren't tell her I've been to a few gatherings of late with people from a *gasp* internet mailing list. She might really think I'm a freak. Instead, our conversation was short. She asked me if I was happy. I avoided the subject by asking if she was happy. She avoided the subject by asking me when I had to go back to work. So yes, I'm afraid to say I have been somewhat glum of late. And my frequent silences and unsociable behaviour have perhaps reflected that. But that's all over now. And Latvia won. Huzzah! Although I do think they should have won it in 2000 with Brainstorm. Bless their little flared jeans and Kula Shaker-like appearance. Nothing in the world can make me smile as much as listening to Bis or watching the Powerpuff Girls. For extreme happiness, listen to Bis playing the theme to the Powerpuff Girls. Aaah. And so I have. And so I ended up po-going about my room taking pictures with my action sampler for most of last night. And now I bid you farewell xx Miss Marianna Longmire +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

What do you call a frenchman wearing sandals? Phillipe Fallope. HoHOHo. i said. I hope everyone is ok today? I'm very bored at work, I have got lots to do but i am VERY lazy and have little motivation. This is because I would much rather be laid on my settee with a bucket of tea and a packet of bourbons watching the cricket (sky news then 15 to 1 if rainy). I see the whole world is a bit broken at the minute. south asia on the verge of nuclear war and dubya just itching to get into Iraq for ignoring the UN, developing weapons of mass destruction, appropriating money away from health and welfare towards a huge military machine and refusing to allow inspectors to examine their chemical weapons. Certainly not charges you could accuse the US of. hmmmmmm. Sorry, don't mean to piss off the Americans amongst us (that's twice I've done that). Not really the place either, so sorry. Only a couple of days until storytelling comes out. get in! I think we should have a contest who can listen to it the most times. winner gets a big girly snog from me! I've got a full weekend of drunken debauchery ahead and I can't wait. My mate is coming up from Liverpool and we plan to drink, BBQ, drink, drink, fall down, sleep, drink, play some sport, drink drink, curry, drink, watch the Ricky Hatton fight, drink, sleep, watch the footy, drink, drink drink. pretty good plan I thought. many apologies for this crappy post.

Whilst reveling in my work avoidance skills i stumbled across a book with the new PULP typeface, i photocopied it so i can go home and have HANNAH written in the same way, there is also some interesting/dull information about the type which i will share with you all: The font is called Mole Foliate it was designed by S.L. Hartz in 1960 and is a redrawing of a french engraver's letterform. Isn't that just fab. I feel i am lunging into the depths of list abuse here. I also found a brilliant pink floyd web site, it is this: www.pinkfloyd-co.com It will tell you everything you want to know about them, YEY OH YEY, they even have a list of releases with those funny codes, i have printed it off so that when i go home i can find out if my "dark side of the moon" record is an original pressing or not, (it's got the stickers and the posters.) Marianna mentioned action samplers, is yours the one with the four lenses in a square? They are sssoooooooooo fab but they keep breaking on me. They were selling individually wrapped fags today and i bought two because it felt like buying candy, i am off to smoke one and become dissapointed when i start to feel sick from the smoke. love hannahxxx ps, this picnic on saturday, is there going to be anything happening in the evening, please say yes coz im waitressing in the day!!!!!!!! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Well everything appeared to have gone from bad to better after going to Brighton, the air of salt from the sea helped to neutralise my post-vacation blues. Watching the waves come pounding along the beach, spraying a wash of white bubbles along the beach before falling back down again.. I can do that all day, and do nothing else. I can't afford it though, doing nothing costs a lot of money. Things are looking up, my house moving plans with my friend are slowly working out, the World Cup is starting and I looked at the Belle and Sebastian website and it said "Treasure Hunt - the answers to the clues will be revealed VERY SOON". I almost fainted in glee. Like most of the e-mails, this real purpose of this e-mail is for talking about ME! me me me Or rather, the TAPES, that you were meant to send to ME: = THE SINISTER NAMESAKE MIXTAPE CHALLENGE = =============================================== Remember that? Lemme Recap. There was once upon a time when a lovely lady called Rachel Fruitloop used to make up her own versions of Sinister Digest, she has been quiet of late but there was a time when she was in a clan of Rudd Gurrls known as The Rachels (rather than the guitar noodler band "The Rachels"), they were so ruud, they got into trouble with a lot of people called William (aka The Williams), and a few people called Rob, Robin or Robyn (called The Robs?), and sinister was in chaos! So, in order to resolve their conflicts, the Rachels, the Wills and the Robs were to each compile a mixtape with songs selected from all members of their group, and eventually send it to KEN, who will judge them and then tell them who won. I've even given these psycho internet freaks my address so that they can send me their tapes. However, they've taken so BLUDDY LONG to make these tapes, that now I'm even MOVING HOUSE! And no tapes were to be seen. So, basically, the Rachels, the Wills, the Robs: ***Can you please each send me an email to let me know if you're still playing, and if you're making any progress, and when you finish, send me a mail so I can give you a NEW ADDRESS! (I don't have it yet) Okay, from what a gather here's a progress report: Rachels: Last time I heard (2 months ago) it was flying over the Atlantic Ocean Wills: Last time I heard was about 6 months ago, and now one of the Wills have actually turned into a girl. Robs: The most promising of the three who are almost finished, AND have already sent me an e-mail, as they should, telling me how much they love me. Bless 'em. = NEW ENTRIES = ================ If you read the above you can see that I haven't actually received any tapes yet, so it's not too late to start your VERY OWN! Find fellow namesakes on sinister (do it with PRIVATE EMAILS please not over the list publically), and make me a tape! Winners get a snog from me you know. I've heard that you have a higher chance of winning if you have a girl's name, or are a girl with a boy's name. I feel better now that I've contributed to posting a "good" post. Oooh hang on, one last bit to make my post complete: People: please donate all of your porno mags to my shop! AND ALSO This is to the girl with long hair and glasses who was at the Terrorvision gig last year, do you remember seeing this Really Good Looking Boy at the corner? Well, it wasn't me, but e-mail me anyway because I! L!O!V!E! Y!O!U! Love and Red Bulls Ken xx P.S.: The two girls on the Story Telling album are hotttttttttttt. P.S.2.: I had a sinister dream about the two list mummies last night who are even hotttter X-Box: After this post I'll probably have nightmares of the two list mummies who are about to spank me ****************************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT This email, its content and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may be legally privileged and/or confidential.

It's probably offscreen now, so me, being the good soul that I am, have typed it up for you. "An album delayed so long that the Todd Solondz movie it was meant to soundtrack was released last November. The delay is doubly ironic as the short-largely instrumental-pieces have B&S sounding at their most relaxed and simple since their Tigermilk debut. It's wait also works in it's favour, as the superficially breezy mood is just right for summer. And anti-world cup types now have their own anthem in I Don't Want To Play Football. 8/10." It's short of course, but the Teletext ones always are-there's only so much you can fit onto a television screen I guess! I think all the big stores like HMV, Virgin etc should announce their decision to open at 12midnight, so all the swarms of B&S fabs can pick up their copy just as Monday kicks in. They do it with Oasis and Will Young, so why not B&S?! ;) Goodnight and Thank-you, Richard X +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I'm better today. Honest. I'm going to the pub now and I thought I'd share some news that you might not know to cheer you up. Indiana Jones 4 has been agreed and they've got Sean and Harrison Ford signed up already. excellent says mr burns and me too. oh yes, that scene with the vary large boulder will go down in movie history as well as the grab-your-hat-back-from-under-the-falling-door thingy one as well.
