SO, basically, it can be fairly ghetto if yr trying to record a song, depending on how good yr phone connection is. anyways, here is an audblog of 'get me away from here, i'm dying': http://madflowr.livejournal.com/161365.html (from the chicago show @ the congress theatre) anyways, it was such a lovely time. i am so glad i went. thanks to laurel for oganizing the meet up and writing down the setlist! lala, leigh _________________________________________________________________ See when your friends are online with MSN Messenger 6.0.

Er, yes. Two people called Belle and Sebastian have done something like this. Try http://belleandsebastian.banchory.net/tour.php and then click on the years on the right & then on the map ... Sodastream were fantastic at Bush Hall last night. Possibly the best show I've ever seen from them.

It's a puzzle to me how a person can make music to express something about themselves, or something they feel strongly about, and how another person can listen to it and deeply appreciate something they feel is expressed by the music...but what do the two have to talk about? It seems strange that an expression that both delight in (allowing some varying interpretation) should be unable to bring each of them to a point where a connection is made. Not just one-way devotion. I suppose this is where the "bedroom" part of saddo comes in. Though DIETCOKEWITH was suspiciously sunny. I'm not sure I'm clear on the saddo part anyway, is that just someone who likes sad music, or the music itself, or what now? I heard Radiohead referred to as miserablist (sp?), which was apparently resented by the band. ("I'm happy, I'm happy, and I'll punch the man who says I'm not," said Ivor Cutler.) The previous paragraphs were inspired by the awkward conversation as I only intended to say hello to Stuart at the afterparty, but he was nice and said more things and my mouth stopped working. Ah, shyness. But what did I really have to say to this stranger? This charming, friendly stranger who had a part in all these albums that I play so often. I'm glad anyway, even if I didn't have anything good to say, I did soak up what I could of the show and with the after's dancing (Richard was spinning when Mick and Chris and Stuart hit the floor). I was surprised that so much rap and outright aggressive dance music came out, I wondered if that was really what they listened to at home. I'm too exhausted to capitalize my song titles properly, apologies, and some of them were instrumental/cover songs that I couldn't identify...maybe someone else will? set-list *Instrumental theme that I think is from the 50's or 60's. Expectations Step Into My Office, Baby Wrapped Up In Books Woman's Realm *A "country" song ("from WHAT country?") about travelling life and shimmering and glimmering. You Don't Send Me Beautiful Like Dylan In The Movies Stay Loose *Another instrumental theme, like a Western film. Stars Of Track And Field Asleep On A Sunbeam Stars Of Track And Field Dear Catastrophe Waitress I'm A Cuckoo If You Find Yourself Caught In Love Judy And The Dream Of Horses Roy Walker Patsy Cline's "Crazy" introduction by Stevie Sleep The Clock Around (did I miss any?) You're Just a Baby (as an encore, which surprised me because there was no encore last year and I was particularly pleased to hear this song that was one of the first that I really loved...) The venue was outdoors at the Backyard, and the wind blew the string players' sheets off the stands with the shaved bit of moon shining whitely overhead. Stuart coughed on the stage smoke, and the previous opening band borrowed some sunglasses from the crowd because the lighting was so bright (this was at night, under the stars). I might have more to say, but only after some sleep... - exes and oh's paisley _________________________________________________________________ See when your friends are online with MSN Messenger 6.0.

Message-ID: Well there I was Sinisters, Friday evening past. I was about to head out to a halloween party (I was the 'fallen angel' - black wings 'n' halo n'all), but first I thought I'd better line the old tum with a fried egg baguette and pre-beer cup of tea. As is my way, I was channel-hopping all over the place and finally settled on some kind of 'football focus' nonsense, when they start talking about MC Harvey from So Solid Crew and his new-found role as player for AFC Wimbledon... They're interviewing Harvey... ...interviewing some fans... .....interviewing SINISTER'S VERY OWN MARK CASAROTTO!!! Now I've only met/seen Mark once or twice, but I was in no doubt it was he. And how articulately he spoke of his approval of said MC joining the team. To summarise, he reckoned it was a *good thing*. Of course, none of my flatmates have a clue who he was, so I'm sitting there exuberating with a mouthful "[cough, splutter] Thatsch a guy off Schinishter!", and they're sitting in their pumpkin and red-riding-hood outfits and looking at me like I've lost the plot. So what else to do but email the spiritual home of Mr C and offer the recognition well-deserved. Even though you'd only have seen it if you'd been in London and watching at that very moment. Even though regular people are on TV all the time. Even though. It seems that sinisters, like the band themselves, are going public. They're even doing telly interviews! If only it'd been our Stu joining the team, the whole thing would have been wonderfully complete. I hope this hasn't been too boring for everyone, but I had to tell someone, and it wouldn't have been even half as relevant on the 'so solid' fanlist, now would it?

Sorry, in that case. A lot has happened. I had coffee with Shirley Lee, and saw them live and was at the front dancing in a really nerdish manner. But what the hell, who cared. And I dissed a guy, nicely, by starting the conversation with "So.. how old are you then?" "Oh, I'm underage!". Hehe. It was pretty funny. Anyways. It was a great gig and me, Amanda and, er, my mum (yes she was there because she needed to come in order for me to get in and I know - oh that's uncool but my mum is cool and i decided it was better to bring her and get to see a band I've loved since I was 13 than to sit at home sulking, being too cool). Anyways. It was a great night and I talked to them for ages afterwards and I was SO the girl who was friends with the band that night. it fell really nice, for once. Yay! Spearmint are deadly brilliant. I met Damien Rice too during his fantastic amazing mind-blowing, er, awesome gig on Wednesday. He sat one seat next to me during Pedestrian/Joel Shearer, the support, and when the lights came on I talked to him and he touched my left shoulder and it's a nerdy thing to remember but I will anyways because he is so beautiful it hurts and he was super nice to me. Sometimes I hate NME. Yeah I know, my e-mail, but this account was created when I was dumb and young. Anyways. NME. Yes. Did anyone else read that fucking terrible article on darlings The Thrills? The pervy one? The one in Amsterdam? With strippers, and bananas in places that'll make you go "Oh dear!" and the journo's intense wish to make the thrills some sort of hardcore crazy rock dudes? It sucked anyways, and it was terrible. Because before, you see, I was madly in love (or should we say: had a wee crush) on the keyboardist called Kevin Horan. Horan in Swedish means "The Whore". Not just "a whore" but "The Whore". I thought that was so awfully misguiding to his whole character, and basically, his name was "Kevin the whore". I felt really bad for him plus he is really cute and small, and silent. And then I read that fucking interview and that made everything come out in a totally different light. Something that's bad about The Thrills is that they sort of suck live, from what I've heard. They were on this tv show in Sweden, and Big Sur sounded much too thumpy, breathy and Conor Deasy sounded like someone was pinching his arse while he was singing. And Ben Carrigan, the otherwise sort of nice looking drummer, looks really constipated while playing. But I had noticed that before. I realized yesterday I have nowhere to meet nice guys. My school is really small, and no one listens to great music, it's more the gangster look that's in. I aim for the teachers. Ehh... (sound that's supposed to make you forget what I just wrote and make the last sentence ok). Seriously though, and I've written it before. The men at my school are boring and want boring people. It's the kind of people who'll ask you, when you arrive at school in your really cool home made t-shirt with some cool sentence on it, "What? What do you mean with that? I don't get it?" or read it out loud and in the end you wish you would've gone to school naked instead. Fab 5, or Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, is probably one of the best tv shows ever. I always laugh so much it hurts. Carson is the best one, he's the fashion guy. Conversation: Straight Guy: People tell me I look like Keanu Reeves sometimes Kyan (grooming guy): WOW! People tell me that too! Carson: People tell ME I look like Ellen DeGeneres. Which he actually does. ooh, here in the school computer lab I am being treated with the sounds of Sean Paul. Oh yeah. Er... Isn't there any nice guy not older than, er, like 23, that wants to move to Sweden and be my boyfriend? There is a major babe-dry here in the school. Whoa, I just wrote major babe-dry. HAHA. Can you tell I am tired? After this, I am meeting with Amanda in town and it's really cold outside and I am wearing the totally wrong outfit for the weather because I decided to be "naked" as we call it amongst my friends, when you wear like a really shirt skirt or some sort of not-suitable-for-the-weather clothing. I am a bit like that today, because I'm wearing a top which is, er, daring I guess. I feel a bit depressed though, because the only ones to give me approving looks was an old man on the subway (urgh), a weird guy who might have been drunk and anyways like 50 (!!!) and a really scary German teacher here at this school. he lives one apartment house away from mine, so we always meet. He is scary and Christian and short and compact and please please please make him go away because he's a bit of a perv. A young perv, but a perv none the less. Kings of Leon are coming here in the end of November. I've heard that they are the most women-obsessed band ever. They'll,er, have anyone. Me and Amanda are plannig on going there, wearing short skirts and then dis them if they say something rude. Oh my god. I am immature, a bit cheap and look for men 24/7. And damn, it feels good too.

Message-ID: My Dear Sinister Looking through the shelves at the bookshop I saw a paper copy of The Spoon River Anthology. I remembered I had loaned if from the library, years ago. The way one buys the things without paying too much attention, I bought a copy. I think I really missed that book, those characters and the stories of their lives condensed in few lines. Like that is all left of an existence, something to weighed on a chemist´s balance, and pound worth nothing. I´m sure I missed it when I got to Francis Turner I could not play / in boyhood. / In manhood I could only sip the cup, / not drink -/ For scarlet fever let my heart diseased. / Yet I lie here/ Soothed by secret none but Mary knows:/ There is a garden of acacia, / Catalpa trees, and arbors sweet with vines - / There on that afternoon of June / By Mary´s side - Kissing her with my soul upon my lips/ it suddenly took flight. It was way before I even ever dared to hold someone hands that had read the story of Francis, but it was only when my soul took flight, kissing her, with my soul upon my lips that I barely realised what he might have felt. Is there anything like the end of love? I don´t know. I don´t think so though. Not the way I see the things. Might be I am just stupid. And weak. And out of time. And fashion. And whatever I can be out of. I can´t believe all you´ll become, I´ve become, is a telephone number to be cancelled on an agenda, a date to be barred on the calendar, a photograph to burn, a bad memory from the past, a bank account, an unpleasant noise, a shadow, a stone, an unanimated thing. A thing. I might be dealing with things my own way. But I have waited any single day in my life to meet someone who said loved me. And If is that all I am now, it makes me wonder it was worth it. Waiting, with my soul upon my lips. I think it was worth the trouble and was worth the pain. Yeah, I´ll do it again. No there is nothing like the end of love. It can´t swapped away from any single cell of mine, but when I´ll be talking to the fall leaves of the trees and the flowers, in springs. Way to spend a Sunday. In July, Francis. Any Month can be cruel. Don´t need a particular one. I do believe there is love in everything and everyone. Until I´ll be proven wrong. Until I´ll be convinced I´ve been proved wrong. That would be the day I´ll be sure that an existence is not worth being lived anymore, then.

I had no idea until I got an email from my friend Tony about it. Next Friday at the Carling Academy in Islington. Love were one of the highlights of Glastonbury for me this year. I didn't manage to see any of the RFH shows so I was excited to seem them as they were going to be doing Forever Chagnes in order. Oh, I can't begin to say how wonderful it was. Arthur Lee is the only original member and the new guitarist did have a tendency to overplay his guitar solos, but still! Alone Aagain Or! Andmoreagain! You Set The Scene! I was watching the TV coverage of Glasto one night and they showed one of the songs from the set. It was You Set The Scene. I was, I'm not ashamed to admit, almost in tears. Of all the songs they could have chosen...you know, time is precious on telly. So the fact they'd gone for the six minute whatever tune said a lot. It was fantastic, truly wonderful. So, go and see them! You won't regret it. Tickets still available. And while I'm on... This Friday is the first HDIF in Brixton. It's a one off down south. The venue is fantastic. Wooden dance floor, glitterball, illuminated NY skyline, pub prices, beer on draft, nice private room, plenty of room to dance. If you know anyone in south London please please PLEASE let them know about it. And if you can come along, please do. There aren't that many indie pop things going on in south London, so it'd be nice to have an alternative. The details: Friday Nov 7th, The Canterbury Arms, 8 Canterbury Crescent, SW9 7QD. Guest DJs are Amelia Fletcher and Rob Pursey from Tender Trap/Heavenly. 9-2, 3 quid in. See you either this Friday or next! x +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I seem to be having a bit of trouble with my outgoing mail, so I'm trying this for the second time. m. paisley provided a set list for the Austin show, and I just wanted to clarify the "instrumental" bits, in case any of yous guys are keeping track of covers. The band opened with the fantabulously funky "Tighten Up" by Houston band Archie Bell and the Drells. (Chris did the spoken part at the beginning... "We're Belle and Sebastian from Glasgow, Scotland...") The other instrumental was something called "Passion Fruit." It sounded a bit surferish. I don't know if it was a cover or an original.

(i wonder what it stands for..) had coffee with Shirley Lee. It'd be very funny if your name is Shirley Lee and your middle name is Lily, then you'd be Shirley Lily Lee, and if you have a lisp and your name is Shirley Lily Lee and you try and people that your name is Shirley Lily Lee it'd be the end of you. She also saw Damien Rice and liked him and he touched her shoulder, I saw him in Glastonbury and quite liked him too but he didn't touch my shoulder. There was a fight in the crowd though during that gig it was quite funny (the fight itself wasn't funny but I was quite drunk), and I'm sure one of them must have hit the other in the shoulder at least once during the fight, one of them fell over in the end. I had a dream last night and I had to defend the honour of my sister and I taunted this guy and dared him to hit me with a bottle, but he bottled it, until I turned around to sit down, when which he really bottled me, and I found out how being bottled makes you all dizzy and unable to fight, but I managed to bottle him back before fleeing with my sister to safety. So all is well although I then had to hide the wound from my mum. Good dream innit. When I saw Damien Rice at Glastonbury he did a cover of Creep by Radiohead, because Radiohead didn't do it during their set. Moby did the same thing too, and everyone knew about it, not many people knew Damien Rice did it though. And the question "Who played Creep in Glastonbury?" popped up during a pub quiz once and the official answer was Moby but you really should have gotten bonus points for knowing that Damien Rice also did it, but you don't, and that's pub quizzes for you. I saw the Flaming Lips at Glastonbury too, and I saw the Flaming Lips on Monday night and they were on fire, the set wasn't that much different from the Glastonbury one, with all the same tomfoolery with balloons and fake blood and all but it was still great, he talked about Arnold Schwarzenegger at one point and I wanted to shout "I'll be back" really loud cos that would have been well funny, but I was too old for heckling. I missed out on seeing The Darkness at Glastonbury, cos I got there late, but lately I have fallen in love with their record called "Permission To Land" I like it so much that if someone wants to post me a free copy of it, I'd give it permission to land on the bit of floor below my postbox. They have a song called "Get your hands off my woman" which is the best song ever, what sentiment, and they use both the words "Cunt" and "Motherfucker". a.s.t.r.i.d. also mentioned that something that's bad about The Thrills is that they sort of suck live, they were in Glastonbury too and my flatmate fell asleep halfway through watching them, so much for "The Thrills". Another thing that's bad about The Thrills is that they sort of suck on records. m. paisley wrote about the Stone Cold Steve Austin show and said he sang a "country" song about travelling life and shimmering and glimmering and I believe that may be a song called "Travelling Light" by Belle and Sebastian that was almost on the new album but isn't and is originally sung by Stevie I wonder how good Stone Cold Steve Austin sang it.

I'm going to stir up something here, I'm sure... Yesterday I got the new DVD, or rather the only DVD (but it is new) and as I sat there, relaxing on my own I watched the whole B&S story unfold before my eyes. It was wonderful. Wonderfully twee. Oh yes. Summer meadows (like Teddy Edward used to be), chasing each other through the streets (the double dekkers), Isobel (really necessary on a bike) it was all bloody fab. Bloody marvelous. I can see I should have brushed up on my adjectives before sending this mail. One adjective I will use again, though, is TWEE. Do what you like with oars and my arse, I couldn't give a shit, and probably wouldn't if you did do the oar thing. TWEE TWEE TWEE TWEE There. I've got that off my chest. There were other things I noticed too. The word "ASTRID" on a T shirt. Is where you got your name A.S.T.R.I.D? The ink poloroid thing all became plain to me. I know why now. I probably would have known earlier if I read the LONG emails in the list, but I get so disheartened if I have to scroll. And finally, in the credits, I spotted "the Sinister List" as a dedication for help on Dirty Dream. Now this was before my time, so there's no way I was involved, but what did the Sinister list do for DD2? OK, going now cos it's lunch time and I'm hungry. So happy sunny days, fluffy little nice things, warm stuff that makes you feel good, and love to all who can be arsed to read this far.

Hi all, You're in for a treat if you're coming along to the UK shows in December as we've confirmed two fabulous Glsagow bands as the support acts for most of the shows. Franz Ferdinand are the main support and they'll be opening the show in Sheffield, the Thursday night London show, Bath, Brighton, Norwich, Newcastle and Liverpool. They're one of the best live bands around at the moment, geth there early and be prepared to dance! For more info on Franz visit their website at http://www.franzferdinand.co.uk Scatter will be opening the Edinburgh show. You'll have read Stuart mention Olly from Scatter in his diary a few times - they're a hard-t-describe collective of musicians who truly have to be seen to be believed. It's a bit jazz, bit middle-eastern, bit scottish beat poet - hell, you'll just have to come along to understand it. They don't have a website yet but you can read a little more about them here - http://www.cenotaph.org/scatter.htm We're still to confirm the supports for the Wednesday and Friday London shows, will let you know soon.

I wasn't lucky enough to grab a set list and the cheap booze at the venue sort of rendered me useless for the task of remembering the order of things. Still, the set was in most respects similar to those that have been posted as of late. Almost everything from the latest, nothing from either FYHCYWLAP or Storytelling, and various bits from the first three full lengths. Plus Photo Jenny and Dog on Wheels, to boot. Stevie did an improvised cover of the Shangri Las' Train From Kansas City. BUT, the big highlight of the evening (for me at least) was Mick's first-ever (at least that's what they said) fronting-the-band singing effort. He did Burt Bacharach's This Guy's In Love With You and it was fantastic, even though he looked as nervous as can be. During the set someone kept yelling "Gentle Waves", to which Stuart replied (something to the effect of), "It looks as if someone out there is a bit enamored with Isobel. Maybe you could have done more than I could to make her not want to quit the band." Chatted with Stuart and Richard a bit after the show and found out, to my chagrin, that there would be no after-hours as they were off to St. Louis that night. My friends and I then headed to some bar, where we proceeded to plug up their box with Ween and Husker Du. On the way back to our hotel we saw the caravan pulling out for the trip to Missouri and we hooted and hollered and waved at them all as they drove by. Quite bittersweet knowing that there they all were; so close and yet probably they wouldn't be coming back to these parts for many a moon. Still we'll take what can get and I hope all of you Stateside get a chance to catch them on this latest outing. Be sweet, -Tom __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

My Dear Sinister How does it happen that I always manage to hurt the one I love, when it is far the last thing I´ve ever imagined? Sometime I feel I am dumb or insensible, like floating on cotton cloud, nursing my own little insignificant struggles and not realising how that could hurt the people I care for. I wish I were better person. I wonder what is the key for happiness. For a lot I though there really was no way, no key to open a door that wasn´t there. Or simply, I wasn´t smart enough to understand which was the key which would have fitted into the slot. There are thing that happened in life and that are under our control. Some others aren´t. Most of them are. I know. But the child is the father of the man, and the past can´t be swept away in a handful. Some things need time. It took time to realise that being loved could really changed someone life. Entirely. I think I´ve always believed that, but wouldn´t admit it. Might be it was something I tried to escape. The was a time when that was for me the L word, like the F or the C word, because I´ve thought it would have never come to me. Or might be I was just envy. Was it all I was? Might be is when I start to run away. Away from myself and to turn away the once I loved. And know that I know what is the only thing that´s worth for me in my life, the most I try to understand, the most it seems I hurt the people I care for instead. Shall I stop even trying to understand? Can you cancel the past when it means so much for you? Can´t you better cancel the past when you know that you are someway hurting yourself, but, most of all, the ones you don´t really want to? I better should. If I only were able. And just let the memory fading. I hope I´ll learn how. As I said, I wish I were better person. One only thing I am sure is that the way to this promise land called happiness, something a had a brief taste of, like the water on a stream in spring, can´t involved storming into someone else´s heart, and take it all that I can take, and walk over someone sentiments and feelings, like picking the most colourful flower in a garden to let then decompose in a crystal jar over my table, and set them in the fire, when they´re done, like have never been there. If this is the way t win the game, then, I´ll rather lose it. And things might go wrong my own way. I´ve gone wrong a long way my own one already. And you can´t stand, unmarked, in the middle of the field and wave your harms and hands in the air, but the other player won´t possibly pass you the ball, because you´re the weaker link, and don´t want to play the other game mainly, then, what´s the point your hands waving and of yourself playing? Isn´t it better to quit the game when you feel like you´re not fit to stay on the pitch? Again that´s none else decision but yours, so, no one else to blame. But. Would you give up the things you believe in? All my best wished of happiness and everything And apologies Stefano +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Entertainment is the new talking about your feelings: "Alien" was re-released. big-screen alien = the best kind of alien. so so good. seeing that is going to tide me over until next week when i'm seeing all those shows i think i talked about in my last sinister post. shows! yaay! weirdly, i did end up going to see the weakerthans b/c a friend invited me. the fembots, from toronto, opened - i like them quite a lot, so that was nice. the weakerthans, hm, well, it was like an introduction to them for me and though i enjoyed it in many ways, there was something missing (and i do really like the experience of seeing bands i don't know very well). i just had this feeling that i'd heard it all before and heard it done better. which seems a bit evil to say, considering how energetic and nice and, well, canadian they were. but hey, evil evil evil. my name is robyn, and I love the smell of photocopied journal articles in the morning: despite some drooling-in-shoe-stores sessions, i have not bought any new shoes. but that's okay b/c my happiness level has increased exponentially due to a) a cute new boyfriend, and b) a confirmed and rad thesis supervisor! hurrah! that i put both on the same level perhaps indicates something i'm unwilling to fully believe re: me and academic life and love, but whatever. that's right, WHATever. it's all hott to me. downloading prince with myself-o: yeah, so everyone should download prince's "pussy control" b/c, damn, i don't even have to tell you why (there's a song called "pussy control"? Yes! there's a song called "pussy control"!). somehow, perhaps being so enamoured with 'pop life' and 'little red corvette', i had forgotten about this song. okay, we all go through phases. i so want to do karaoke to prince, but i always feel too tall, too white, too estrogen-based and hetero to do a proper job of it. /sound of me slamming fist into palm and saying 'drat!'. all these and more facets of my (fractured/incomplete/head-slamming-against-wall-repeatedly) identity are working on the issue though, and, i tell you, if only for the span of one song, i will be some kind of prince-like phenomenon, one day, one day... but enough about performance, play and perversion. b/c, y'know, survivor's on tonight (oh god, i thought that was just a joke, but then i realized that that's *exactly* what it's about. i'm really going to have to stop knowing how to read.) there's no power like scientific biopower, r obyn ===== I was reading the dictionary.

Thing felt a little weird though. People were yelling out requests all through the show, to the point that they kept interrupting Stuart and Stevie while they were trying to speak to the audience between songs - it became a bit embarrassing. The venue was not dance friendly and it seemed to bother Stuart and Stevie somewhat as they both mentioned the lack of dancing in various ways throughout the show. During the drawn out ending of Sleep The Clock Around, the string players all returned to the riser and I assumed there was another song coming, but at the end of it the band walked off stage, with only Sarah giving a tiny wave to the audience. The crowd were immediately on their feet with the "encore" applause, but after three minutes or so, the house lights and canned music came up and we were all left standing there blinking at each other. The lack of an encore was quite disappointing and I was left with the feeling that they were less than impressed with their audience tonight - sort of a downer ending to a beautifully performed evening of music from my favorite band. I hope Detroit comes off better for them. john barrick +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I'm doing rather well, two nights ago I went to Safeways and they were selling a crate of 24 bottles of stella for £9.99. It was a fantastic bargain and I ended up drinking quite a few of them in celebration, whilst playing Fifa 2004, and later watching Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon with my flatmate, and concluded that it was a bog standard Chinese martial arts film but with shag scenes added in for the western market and it worked. Then, last night I realised that there was, in fact, no non-alcoholic beverages at all in the house, so I went to safeways again to buy a 24 pack of coca-cola for £6.45, when the girl at the till told me about the OFFER they had on 12-packs of coca cola, namely it was £1.99 for 12!!!! So I bought 36 cans in total for £5.97. It was a fantastic bargain. And now I'm sitting at my desk, for some reason really wanting to sing "Fight Test" by Flaming Lips really loud, but can't because I'm at work. Do you know a band called Fanny Pack? They're great, they have a song called "Camel Toe" which is about these girls who keep the toes of camels!!! How great is that!! It's fantastic, writing songs about collecting animal bodyparts. I'm going to one day write a song about shaving turtles which are too hairy and call it like Hairy Turtle or something. But anyway, yeah, Fanny Pack are apparently big fans of Flaming Lips cos during that "Camel Toe" song they sang about how the only Lips they want to see are those that sing! i.e. The Flaming Lips! When your lips get inflammated, do you know how it feels? And how does it feel to be loved? I don't know yet personally, but I'm going to find out tonight at Brixton when there's a How Does It Feel To Be Loved club night going on which is the best night out in town starting from 9!!!!! Friday Nov 7th, The Canterbury Arms, 8 Canterbury Crescent SW9 7QD, Brixton, 9pm-2am, £3 admission. http://www.howdoesitfeel.co.uk/club.html Get in!

Message-ID: My Dear Dear Catastrophic Sinister Types i hope this finds everyone in a nice state of fettleness. i am tired and weary and feel like i could sleep for a thousend years. I have four deadlines biting me in the arse plus two trips to london. Actully the topics are fairly interesting so that is ok. i think i'd be a bit more pissed off about them. its very strange how you can be feeling in a bit of a mediocre mood and dulland lifeless then suddenly a gig can spur you into a moment of creativity. i just had that. i have felt a wee bit listless of the last few days. dulled by Bronte and Donne and by the weather. then suddenly BAM. I went to see Yann Tiersen thursday evening. My good god. i nearly feel as inspired as the day that went to see Amelie. I read a review of his gig today from London and it said that " an englishman could never play the same amount of instruments as Tiersen and be called anything less than arrogant" There was a real sense of occasion with this show. 100 people in a dinky theatre. i did some calculations and it turns out that only 6% of the concert goers were native english speakers which i thought was quite cool. the vast majority of them were French. i didn't feel too out of place though. i had a scarf wrapped around my neck numerous times and i tried not to look too excited. He has gone very post rock with his new material although it was still nice to hear the plinky plonky Amelie music as well. There was this song where if i closed my eyes i could swear i was at a godspeed gig or something. I am getting very very excited about the prospect of seeing the band on December 3rd. That is unless the airport authority goes on strike which is a major posibility. So close and yet so far. God willing anyway there won't any strike actions by unions that run the bloody country. I try not to go to england if i can help it. the only bits i ever see are Stansted Airport. But i am going there this next weekend and then again for the gig. I am actully quite looking forward to it. i always feel a bit like a stranger whenever i am in england. i speak the same language as all the people but i feel out of place. Almost as if i have "paddy" tattooed on my forehead or something (which would be a bit weird). I feel the same when ever i am in the states and yet i hate i my own country but i still feel at home here. very very odd. Are there any club nights around that night as i fear we are going to have to pull an all nighter cos we have to be back in Stansted for around 4 or 5 so there is no real point in getting a hostel. so if anyone could give me any pointers as to what to do that would be grate with a capital G i am off to try and think of a reason not to go out tonight. and Oh if no one has heard of the hidden camera's shame on you. they kick veritable arse tara jnthn +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: The other day, I was thinking of the band Low. Two of the group members are lds (mormons) and I was wondering if this helps their fan base any. I remember playing a Belle and Sebastian album for an lds friend and some of her (out of ten) siblings who were in the room. Just think about it - you convert one mormon friend and their family and BOOM! the entire state of Idaho can be counted as fans. On Sunday, I talked to this friend for the first time in three years and it seems as if she just played some Belle and Sebby to her three year old niece who fell in love with it. The little lass now toddles around saying, "I wove Bell and Thebathin! Der muh fafite!" Isn't that the cutest story? Yeah, it made me gag too. I second Ree for calling for more people to report back. I was virtually chatreuse with envy to hear that Columbus got Slow Graffitti, Photo Jenny (swoon!), AND Stay Loose. I have never wished to be in Ohio before in my life!! Oh, the things Belle & Sebastian will do to a girl. Also, this surfer tune which other reporters back have mentioned as being called "Passion Fruit" is the same one announced as Mick Cooke's baby at the Atlanta show. Wasn't he darling and all beamy while playing it? I was quite embarassed to see that Monsieur Gay Jay had printed out my setlist and notes to the list as they're not things I would have normally made public. It seems as if I might have messed up some too. Thus, for the record it seems as if the Durham set list really went something like this: Instrumental Introduction Expectations Step into My Office, Baby Wrapped Up in Books Slow Graffiti I'm a Cuckoo Women's Realm Traveling Light Beautiful A Summer Wasting Like Dylan in the Movies The Stars of Track and Field Dirty Dream Number Two Asleep on a Sunbeam Piazza, New York Catcher Dear Catastrophe Waitress Judy and the Dream of Horses Roy Walker Sleep the Clock Around Encore: You're Just a Baby That's courtsey of Sanders who pointed out that I had forgotten "Summer Wasting". I don't know Sanders but his e-mail looks as if it's coming from detox.com Funny, that I trust him, yes? xo, Ll PS - Can the two Kevins and Idleberry please post again soon. It'd make a poor bookshop girl's day. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Shopping upgraded for the holidays!

Being a guy, and it being the middle of nowhere (not to mention the middle of the night), I decided to do the stereotypical male thing, namely doing my business on the side of the road. Little did I know the rush of emotion and beauty that would come upon me. As soon as I got out of my car (a nineteen eighty eight chevrolet caprice classic, one of the last of the true american cars) I felt this enlightenment that I couldnt quite place my finger on, just a pure appreciation of beatuy of my surroundings. The moon was full, B&S was still playing, the nice hum of my engine going, and the clouds....oh the clouds... After I finished what I had initially stopped to do, I probably used a roll and a half of film just trying to capture the moment. I hope it turns out, because I can't think of much that has ever touched me so deeply. I apologize for the crudeness of this message (earlier on) but I had to share the feeling with someone else, and who would appreciate it more than all of you? -Kevin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Lately i have been getting really odd spam from people claiming that they are the prince of Africa and ,for reasons i never both to read, they need to rest 30,000 squid in a forign account and therefore could they please have my FULL ACCOUNT DETAILS. Yeh, sure mate, why don't you borrow my house keys and my weekly F***in earnings as well. I Did a REALLY stupid thing about three weeks ago. I got a "happy text" saying i had won 750 pounds. I thought, " cool, i need some money, and they wouldn't lie would they?", so i rang the number, then the other number, used up 8 pound in credit, sent off the letter with my SPECIAL CODE to freaking Denmark then realised the error of my ways on the way back from the post box. Three weeks have passed and there is no sign of my "special 750 pound prize". Should i be surprised...................... Ken mentioned Fanny Pack, a horribly named fash band with a song title called "camel toe". I read an article that a camel toe is a reference to a lady who wears rather tight jeans or leggings and creates the look of a camel toe around her personal area, thus explaining the reference to "lips"- if you catch my drift. Talking of bands, one of my college bands called The Ludes are getting quite stupidly famous. They are going to be signed to EMI and have done some sessions on radio 1, how odd. They are very flipping good though. They used to play in our student bar and do general rock n roll things like having many attractive (although unintelligent) girlfriends and shouting alot. They are doing a tour soon, go and see them. I am reading The Wasp Factory at the moment and although it is interesting it is depressing me and i feel once i have read it i will want something a little lighter on the eye, so if anyone has any book reccomendations please let me know. You all helped me a while ago and some of the things you recommended were very good. right i'm off, going back to the spam thing, visit spam.com, your know, the meat product version, well you will not believe how many novelty spam items you can buy. pens, earings, suits, ties, notebooks, socks................. hannahb _________________________________________________________________ On the move?

I am absolutely 100% positive that I've heard it before but I don't remember where and I'd be willing to say that it was on a CD of theirs. The reason I say that is because I don't ever remember having downloaded any B&S songs over the internet, OR received any copies of any bootleg music. This is very strange, and now it's really bothering me. I will look around for an mp3 of it and maybe that will be what I'm looking for. Or maybe it's just that I'm gifted and I was actually hearing them perform the song live at a show somewhere far away and romantic.

Looking forward to the show and a trip to the big city but we both have essays due. So, balancing binders and Yeats and Paradise Lost, hard to concentrate. Pass through a cute little town named Tweed. When we arrive in Toronto, the first image that greets us is rather ominous one involving a dead pigeon. I guess you can never lose that country-bumpkin face, no matter where you move to, weird man sits next to me and makes creepy commentary about the pigeons, "There are probably more pigeons than people in Toronto." But anyways, the show. It was very good. We were in the first level, so it was nice for a change to overlook the whole scene. There seems to be more of a budget for the light show. The dreamy green ones are nice but the blinking white ones remind me of Science class and the magnesium experiment. Vincent Massey hall is very fancy. The ushers show you to your seat and everything. Stevie said it was a very "grand" audience. Struan talked about imagining a soul dance hall, Northern Soul style, and did we know what Northern Soul is? A couple of handclaps. They do a good version of I Want You Back. Struan invites people to sing the spoken-bit in Dirty Dream #2. Richard in lumberjack shirt. Struan in a black and white striped t-shirt. Mick in Led Zeppelin t-shirt. And did I see on here, a few posts back, Mick is now a father? Congratulations! Wasn't it only yesterday he was Scotland's Most Eligible Bachelor? In the middle of their set, Struan says this is the time they take a break from their own songs. Any requests for a choon? "Give us a choon" is such a nice expression. Struan asks, so then can anyone play? A woman says yes, she can. When they ask what her request says, she says her own song. Struan says she is a brave girl. So they play her song. Struan says all the world's a stage, eh Bob?Silence. "I guess you didn't get the Rush reference?" At the end Struan doesn't like the gap between front row and stage and invites everyone forward, they all dance. Oh, and during one song Struan invited a boy on stage to dance, he was rather slim like Struan and they both danced in that same style, elbows bent, legs apart, big steps and little jumps. Toronto 8 November 2003 Instrumental Expectations Step Into My Office, Baby Wrapped Up In Books Seeing Other People Dirty Dream #2 You Don't Send Me Travelling Light I Want You Back Lord Anthony The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner (attempt at Rhoda) Stars of Track and Field If She Wants Me Photo Jenny Piazza, New York Catcher There's Too Much Love Roy Walker Stay Loose You're Just A Baby (encore) Sleep the Clock Around I didn't know the new album that well going into the show, but I had a bit of a Legal Man feeling, different opinion after seeing certain songs live. I was happy they played You're Just a Baby, that's one of my favourite of the older songs and I have good memories attached to it. So, my favourite bits from the show, concerning the new songs: In the middle of Step Into My Office, very beautiful and dreamy ("laid down with a sigh") If She Wants Me, around the "if I could do just one perfect thing" bit. Like how Struan's voice sounds on the verge of breaking, "And it was Huh-ard" Roy Walker...lovely singing & harmonizing, Stevie asks for finger-snapping audience participation (replacement for flamenco style handclaps?) You Don't Send me and Stay Loose, both how they begin...the lights compliment the feeling and Struan's dancing and pose. There's nothing, there's nothing! The guitar in Stay Loose, reminds me slightly of Loneliness of Middle Distance Runner. Makes me feel a bit funny inside, like I am 14 years old and listening to Belle and Sebastian on my walkman during gym class wishing I had a boyfriend who plays guitar. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.msn.com%2f%3fpage%3dmisc%2fspecialoffers%26pgmarket%3den-ca +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <5.2.1.1.2.20031110130102.00ac29c8@mail.law.uiowa.edu> Hello Sinisteria, I know that we're beyond the reviews of DCW but felt obligated to pass on this one from the student newspaper here. I have not heard the new disc in its' entirety, however, I like what I've heard, and must include that the student-run radio station is excellent... quite possibly my reason for staying in this town. So, read on if you feel compelled. I have left in the writer's name for those of you feeling sinister... Dialing up a catastrophe when nobody's at home By Richard Shirk - The Daily Iowan Singing about being bundled in sweaters and taking walks in the rain seemed to be a formula that worked for twee-poppers Belle & Sebastian. Now, with a new long-player - Dear Catastrophe Waitress (Rough Trade) - the Glasgow septet has swept out almost everything that made its pastiche-heavy music so precious. The charming infusion of '60s folk-pop with indie affability has been phased out this time around and replaced with a frustrating batch of songs embracing the most schlocky, chauvinistic, and forgettable elements of late-60s West Coast pop and mid-70s pub-rock. And if there is one thing that Belle & Sebastian could be counted on for, it was to be not chauvinistic. Led by Stuart Murdoch through a variety of lineup permutations, the band's first four proper albums saw a songwriting perspective often dealing in the same fatalism that made a band such as the Smiths so great. Combined with an androgynous Nico-esque voice and a band mystique centered on drinking tea, reading books, and talking Tolkien with pals in the park, Belle & Sebastian was the perfect picture of an innocent, nonthreatening pop-band. A lesson in complete negation, Catastrophe is a radical departure that the band can hardly recover from. Slathered with cheesy horn arrangements, bad wah-wah guitars, and a new side of Murdoch as a songwriter, the album is constructed entirely from the worst elements of classic-rock radio. A trudge through the album becomes almost impossible once Murdoch - previously content being a foppy bookworm in his songwriting - begins to wheel out thinly veiled sexual innuendoes in the album opener, "Step Into My Office, Baby." An otherwise unassuming song, the Led Zeppelin-isms are abundant as Murdoch fantasizes about being a suit-bound office overseer in a position to pressure newly employed women into sex. Hardly the sensitivity found on Tigermilk or If You're Feeling Sinister. The rest of the album may not be all downhill, but after a tacky song that simultaneously cribs AC/DC lyrics while rockin' some Lovin' Spoonful riffs, it's only the first in a series of monumental mistakes. While the title track could easily fit onto any of the band's previous albums, it is still marred by the same hammy arrangements that also ruin such tracks as "If She Wants Me," "If You Find Yourself Caught In Love," and "I'm a Cuckoo." While "Roy Walker" sounds like it could easily be a cast-off from CCR or Buffalo Springfield, "Stay Loose" is a spot-on Squeeze song - which is not exactly terrible, but definitely not something that was new or bold even in 1982. And even at the best of moments, Belle & Sebastian sounds like a band covering itself. "Wrapped Up In Books" is pretty much the same song as the title track of Boy With The Arab Strap, and "Asleep on a Sunbeam," although coy and boring, is only on par with some of the low-points of the band's best albums. But to the band's credit, at least Catastrophe is a distinguished accomplishment. After all, who could have predicted a band as previously interesting and enjoyable as Belle & Sebastian could find so many imaginative ways to be extraordinarily terrible?

Message-ID: <20031110225626.11255.qmail@web10408.mail.yahoo.com> Hey. I wanted to write, creatively, tonight, but as per usual I was champing at the bit but unable to put anything worthwhile on paper. My main problem is that I have no idea what to write about. I even bought books to inspire me, but paradoxically I'm almost afraid to read them. So I'm writing to you instead. The main reason I'm writing is to PLEAD with any of you who haven't already signed the "release Rhoda!" petition (pipe down at the back, whoever just shouted "welease Whoda!"). It can be found at http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?Rhoda&1 and it would be SO cool if you could add your name to it. If you know "Rhoda", then you'll know that it's a) achingly beautiful and b) unavailable in anything but the *worst* quality bootleg. And I think this should change. At worst, you'll get another B&S release, which can't be bad, huh? So please go and sign it. It's be nice to have a few more signatures before actually presenting it to the band. There are 1300 people here, and more on Bowlie. Spread the gospel and then at least we can say we've tried.

Enjoy. I did. _______________________________________________ The Dynamics of the Extra Belle & Sebastian Ticket - NYC 10 Nov 2003 It's always interesting when you show up with an extra ticket for a concert, but the dynamics of an extra ticket for a Belle & Sebastian concert have the potential to create even more interest. Of course, I was disappointed when my wife decided her cold was so severe as to preclude her attendance. It was ok, I told her, because we have tickets for the following night's show, and because I was sure I could find something to do with her ticket. So I set off for the wilds of New York City with my extra 10th row ticket. My plan to arrive early to dispose of the ticket quickly evaporated (as all my plans to arrive early seem to do), and I walked up to the front of the Town Hall theater at precisely 8:00 p.m. I briefly canvassed the scene: There was no line at the ticket window, but the show was not sold out. It appeared that I was the only one who had come there alone – everyone else was in groups of two or four or eight or more. Worse, everybody seemed to already have a ticket! My only option seemed to be to station myself outside the box office and wait for the right person to come along. At about that time, the first disturbing thought of the night entered my head: Just who was the right person I was waiting for? I mean of course what TYPE of person was it? Obviously someone alone without a ticket, or possibly someone without a ticket accompanied by friends with tickets. But beyond that, who? Perhaps a tall, shapely woman with model looks? Too obvious. Plus, I'm very happily married, so whatever would I do with one of those? (She didn't come around, anyway. Probably better that way.) How about a short, shy, homely thing who was almost too afraid to venture out of the house but was propelled to the show by her obsession with Stuart (or was it Sarah)? Shouldn't be any shortage of those at a B&S show, right? (Just teasing; you are all beautiful and I love each and every one of you. XO.) I dunno, I just didn't feel that charitable. I mean, this person was going to be sitting next to me, and I kinda wanted someone I could relate to a little bit. I was there alone, after all. A guy, then? But what if he assumes that I am as shallow as the next person (I'm actually as shallow as the guy standing behind the next person, over his left shoulder, with his internet browser permanently tuned to ratemyface.com) and decides that I'm only giving him the ticket because I find him attractive. Otherwise, why wouldn't I give the ticket to the tall, shapely woman with model looks? (He obviously doesn't realize that she has other plans tonight.) If he's gay (unlikely at a B&S show, he snarled sarcastically), that could make things uncomfortable. (Remember, he's sitting right next to me all night.) If he's straight, and he thinks I'm interested in him, it could be even worse! (We straight people are so closedminded!) OK then, it's going to be a girl somewhere between model gorgeous and butt ugly. That narrows the field. It's 8:05. I can hear through the doors that the opening act, My Favorite, is playing. I really wanted to catch their set, but I have this ticket to deal with. So I wait. There's a girl approaching alone – oh wait, there's her girlfriend. What about that one? Oh, she's with two guys. They all have tickets anyway. Isn't this thing sold out yet? I check at the window. They still have 10 tickets. Sigh. I make a mental note to remember not to give the ticket to anybody without first making sure that they are a fan and not a ticket scalper. I have wasted extra tickets before by giving them to someone I thought would use them, only to find somebody different sitting next to me once I got inside who undoubtedly paid $100 apiece for them. But how am I to make this crucial assessment? Should I ask her to name a member of the band? Too hard, I think. Are any of their names even on the first three records? Better make it a song title. Ask her favorite, that'll do. 8:10 and I strike up a conversation with this girl who is wandering around in front, thinking she might need a ticket. Turns out she also has an extra ticket, which she is trying to sell. I tell her I was going to give mine away rather than sell it, because my sister's friends were tackled by the police outside a U2 show at Madison Square Garden because the cops thought they were selling their own tickets, and they missed the show because they spent the night at the police station. (True story, although I've often wondered if they actually had some contraband in their possession and told the ticket story to avoid parental wrath.) I briefly consider asking her to sell both of her tickets, split the money with me and come sit with me in the 10th row, but how can I ask her to do that after the story I just told? We exchange good luck wishes and go our separate ways. At about 8:15, disturbing thought number two occurs to me. In a flash of evil brilliance, I come up with the deranged scheme of finding a couple without tickets and offering them my ticket, but only if the girl will ditch the guy and sit next to me. Kind of like that movie Indecent Proposal, only without Demi Moore and all the money. I laugh at my own diabolicalness and dismiss the idea as impractical. How would I enforce it? What if she engaged in the selfless act of turning the ticket over to her guy? Then I've got this guy sitting next to me after I tried to entice his girl away from him. Awkward, and potentially painful! 8:20, still tickets left at the box office. I'm obviously going to miss most of the My Favorite set. I briefly consider giving the ticket to a scalper just so I can get it over with and go inside, but I can't bring myself to do it because it will mean that some fan will have to pay some outrageous price for the ticket. I shouldn't let my laziness cause such an inequitable result. Maybe I should just give up and walk inside with the extra ticket, putting it to death. It would be nice to have someplace to put my coat. Aargh – I can't do that either! I derive all of my power tonight from this little scrap of paper in my pocket and I can't murder it! At about 8:25, I return to the box office to see if the show is sold out. They are down to the last couple of tickets. In a bold move, a scalper is actually in the box office trying to peddle a couple of $25 tickets for $50 each. I'm standing next to him listening to him make his pitch to these two girls. They hesitate, so he turns to me and asks if I need a ticket. I tell him he doesn't want me to answer that right now. He asks why not, and I tell him he'll have to trust me. He persists, so I tell him in a loud voice "Because I have an extra ticket I'm trying to give away for nothing!" A girl on the other side of the box office hears this and comes over. She appears perfect for the ticket – female, unaccompanied, and somewhere between model gorgeous and butt ugly, more towards the former end of the spectrum. "Are you serious," she asks. "Sure. Do you need a ticket?" "Yeah, I came down without one hoping I could get in," she replies. "OK, here you go." I hand her the ticket. "Really?" she asks. "Yes," I say. "Enjoy the show!" And then I remember my litmus test: I forgot to ask her her favorite B&S song. So I literally grab the ticket back from her hand and say, "Wait a second. What's your favorite Belle & Sebastian song?" By now, we've drawn a little crowd, and they are now oohing and laughing over my question. The girl stammers for a good while and I start to fear maybe I have the wrong person. She finally manages to blurt out "The Boy with the Arab Strap". Relieved, I stick the ticket back in her hand and say "Have fun." As I'm walking out triumphantly, she tracks me down, introduces herself (Michelle), asks my name, and thanks me profusely. Which triggers disturbing thought number three: What strange sort of relationship have I just created? Does she think I now expect something of her, having bestowed this gift upon her? And do I indeed expect something of her? OK, I'm going to have to watch that, as we are going to be sitting together, and be careful not to send the wrong message. We enter the theater together and she heads off to the restroom. I grab the new My Favorite CD and find my seat. I catch their last two songs, which are very good. They're somewhere near the intersection of Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen and The Smiths, with a pretty girl singer. (There's much more to them than that, but that's what I heard in those two songs. I told you I was shallow.) At the intermission, I pick up a few B&S stickers and check out the old theater, legendary for its jazz shows, many of which have been released on record. I make my way back to my seat. Michelle is nowhere to be seen. Perhaps she thinks I expect something of her and is uncomfortable sitting next to me. That would be a shame. A little while later, this guy comes up to me and says he thinks I'm sitting in his seat. I look at his ticket and tell him he's in the same seat, but in the next section. A minute later, Michelle appears. She was in the other guy's seat by mistake! I tell her she could have named any B&S song and she would have gotten the ticket. We talk about how we don't know the names of songs anymore the way we used to when we were younger and had time to read all of the liner notes. We speak briefly about our appreciation for B&S. She was introduced to them not too long ago by someone at work. I've been into them since 1998 and missed them the first three times since then that they came to NYC, so I'm seeing them three times this year. I start to tell her about the Brooklyn show, and the lights go down. This show was even better than Brooklyn, which I didn't think was possible. The new stuff is just incredible live, the vocals are breathtaking. There were plenty of oldies for us old people. Stuart brought this wonderful girl Debbie up from the crowd to sing. She chose Lazy Line Painter Jane, and she was so amazing that she brought the house down. She also cajoled us into rising from our seats and dancing for the first time all night. We were all so very proud of her, even though we didn't know her, because she was up there for all of us. (If they pick me tomorrow night, I will make them sing Little Red Book – the Love arrangement. And I have to remember to tell my wife Dana "Happy Anniversary" from the stage, as November 11th is the 9th anniversary of our wedding.) About an hour and a quarter into the show, Michelle's cell phone rang, and she said she had to go because she "got a call". She again thanked me profusely. We hadn't chatted much, probably due to our mutual concern over sending the wrong message, but she definitely seemed to enjoy the show, thankfully, so it seems the dynamics of the extra Belle & Sebastian ticket all worked together in perfect harmony to bring about a happy ending for all concerned. If this were a hollywood movie, the final song tonight would have been The Boy with the Arab Strap. (Remember – that was Michelle's favorite song.) Instead, it was Get Me Away, I'm Dying – my favorite B&S song. Karma? You decide. Gary ------------------ Here's what they played tonight, 10 Nov 2003 (NOT IN ORDER EXCEPT AS NOTED): 1.

'i'm in the tune department.' that im conversation, by the way, ended rather abruptly. i think he told me to 'enjoy [my] drinks' and i spent a few minutes wondering whether or not he was condescending. and then wondering whether or not i should care. that should do for an intro. thanks for being(,) sinister.

Remember you're a womble. Two top class tunes, in fact, they're pretty much the same song in essence. In that they both 1) are songs 2) have words in it Therefore I totally agree with that DailyIowan review of DICKWANK (kindly relayed by Jaye Conner) with the statement... > "Wrapped Up In Books" is pretty much the same song as > the title track of Boy With The Arab Strap" which at first would make you go "eh?", and then you realise that WUIB and TWATTYBUS both.. 1) are songs 2) have words in it Eureka. The said review also criticised the new album of having AC/DC lyrics, well duh, that's been the case ever since the early days of "The stars of track and field". Here, I have even highlighted the keywords for you... AC/DC - She's got balls ----------------------------------- She's got spunk that woman, funk that woman, she's got SPEED my babe, got what I NEED my babe. She's got the ABILITY to make a man outta me. B+S - Stars of Track and Field -------------------------------------------- She had the move she had the SPEED it went to her head. She never NEEDED anyone to get around the track and when she's on her back She had the KNOWLEDGE to go into college What coincidence! That two songs by two different bands both talk about "a girl with the ability and knowledge taking speed and then receiving spunk that went to her head. Later in the song, AC/DC would sing "Makes my heart RACE, with her PRETTY face" and there was you wondering what the line "stars of TRACK AND FIELD are BEAUTIFUL people" was all about!!! Ken P.S.: It is a little bit early, but remember, the annual INTERNATIONAL SINISTER BOWLING DAY on the final Saturday of the year (i.e. 27th Dec), is coming up soon!

This address is just like a pair of Kenneth Coles - flashy but quite unreliable): *Your Name *Your Full Address (of where you will be at Christmas time) * The number of presents you would like to send out (since it will correspond with the presents you will receive) * Whether you have a preference of sending to someone inside your country or not. Foreign mailing can get right pricey and I have great respect for you cheap bastards out there. If geography makes no difference, then there's no need to mention anything. However, please note that this only works if you live in a place where there will most likely be lots of other Sinisters. I hate to break your heart but you're probably the only one on here in Anartica. *Please, please, please put "Sinister Christmas Present Exchange" (or something to that effect) in the subject line. I get a lot of spam. I'd hate to curl up to my computer late one night in the thoughts of going through all my new porn links just to get a pesky christmas exchange e-mail instead. *If you gave a present last year but did not get anything, please tell me this. If you were suppose to get more than one present presents (as you gave more than one), please let me know who the people you did get from are. Read below (#5) for why. As soon as possible, I will send you a reply saying that I have gotten your information. Thus, if you don't hear back from me fairly soon you'll know that something has gone awry in the matrix. After I get everyones' information, then all of your names written on individual scraps of paper, a sedated gray cloche, and I shall all play Chuck Woolery and match everyone up with a partner. (I'll be doing the matching this year as last year I had Miss Maddie Minx to help me.) By the first of December, your day shall be brightened with the sparkling correspondence from me telling you who that lucky sinister kid you're giving to is at which point you should then whip out the crazy glue, pipe cleaners, and your pet ferret to devise a Christmas present that should wow anyone. As this is my gazillionth year organizing this I'm more or less copying what I posted in years prior. However, there is one new addition for those who participated before (see #5). For those who aren't familiar with this activity: 1. This is just for those who wish to participate. It is by no means required nor are there any requirements - meaning you can still be in the nursery, only flit around in #sinister, or be embittered and wasting away in ILE all the time and have just in a moment of nostalgia and dementia tainted haze have wandered back to your ole' stomping ground. 2. In the words of the Greek chic who set this shindig up a few years ago - "This is not restricted to just people that celebrate Christmas. It just happens to help the spirit of exchanging presents so other people that don't celebrate Christmas are very welcome!" Well, it was in those words except for less capitalized, a flagrant disregard for grammar, and way too many exclamation points than I can use without getting nauseous. Oh and the Greek cheek is Joanna and she rules even if she thinks it's ok to deny our list with her posts. 3. It's really up to you as to what kind of gift you give - as it can be anything from something you made to a mix to your favorite book (guess who will be getting a copy of The Basic Eight, baby!) to a chocolate covered boy (though I would like notification if you plan to give away the latter.) As long as it adheres to the postal code and doesn't involve bodily fluids, I think we'll all be happy - especially the lucky llew who gets the chocolate covered boy. 4. I would like to make a request only to sign up if you intend in actually participating because really my shoulder isn't made for people crying on it because they didn't receive anything even though they sent out a matching set of hello kitty mittens and mufflers. I can't even stress how much I actually sincerely mean that. If you think there's a chance that you might get too involved in exams, work, seducing the neighborhood mall's santa, or family to participate, please don't. We still love you. In fact, we'll love you more if you don't sign up for this when there's that possibility. I know from last year's experience that people get really sad when nothing comes there way after they've put alot into a gift. You really don't want to be responsible for the surprise instantaneous disappearance of a whole pound of chocolate, do you? I mean unless you're a cute boy and it's being used to coat yourself that is. 5. Because of the fact that years prior I've had multiple people complain of not getting anything after they put a lot of trouble forth in sending things out, I'm instituting a new rule. I kept last year's gift assignments so I know who was suppose to give to who. If I know that you signed up and did NOT give as you were suppose to then there will be stipulations before you can participate again. They won't be anything harsh involving slitting wrists and pushups in salt water, but they'll be there. (You will most likely have to give to the person you were assigned to give to last year in addition to a new assignment. Yet, you won't get another gift for the one you were suppose to give last year). I completely understand unexpected things coming up especially around the holidays but I need to start something to help cut back on those shafted. Poor Vee has signed up for this thing three years in a row and I don't think she has gotten a gift one single year. What can I do when something like that happens? The first year I tried to send gifts out to those neglected but I can't afford that, even though I wish I could. So, I hope everyone understands this. I wish I didn't have to do it but it's the best idea I've had to deal with the problems yet. If you have any questions or need to get rid of a large sum of money quickly, please feel free to contact me. xo, Ll PS - Thanks for everyone who has been sending in setlists and reporting back. I love it! Just when I think that I've seen B&S too much to justify ever shelling out so much money for them again - I read another set list where they played Photo Jenny (which I REALLY want to hear live) or Lazy Line Painter Jane (ditto) and I'm like DAMN THOSE BASTARDS! THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING! PPS - Songles Dave heard the interview of Richard Colburn that GayJay did where I corrected Richy in the fact that they had played "This Is Just Another Modern Rock Song" live before. He called me the BILL O'REILLY of B&S journalism! ("No spin here colburn - you played it last year!") That made me laugh like nothing else. PPPS - Cute pictures of Stu after the Atlanta show taken by Jayward (http://www.jaynagyphoto.com/) can be found here: http://www.jaynagyphoto.com/STUTEMP.html PPPPS - Have I mentioned yet that I'm really happy to see the sillustrations back?

Message-ID: <20031114023542.66416.qmail@web41301.mail.yahoo.com> Hello hello! Well well...have I been very excited lately or what!? There have just been lots of little things that all add up to equal 'good times ahead.' --First of all, I have basically finished university for the year. I have two exams (tomorrow and Monday) and then I'm done!! Well, until next year anyway. --Second of all, one of my all time favourite bands who I NEVER thought I would see live because I live in Australia and they're in the UK, are coming to Australia!! The band I speak of is Radiohead, and if that's not exciting enough, I also got good tickets. Now I don't know about you guys but I would rather be standing right in front of the stage than sitting in the stalls. But, as Radiohead are so popular you can imagine what the box-office is like in the morning when the tickets go on sale, it's NUTS! Anyhooo, my Mum was on the internet trying to get the tickets that way and I was pressing redial on the phone to try and call them, and then!...after about fifty calls it started ringing, and I wet my pants. I got put on hold and finally a guy picked up... Me: Hello, I was wondering if those Radiohead tickets were on sale yet? Guy: Sorry, not for another 25 seconds, you'll have to call back. Me: Why? Guy:I'm not allowed to wait on the phone until then. Me:Why? Guy:it's unfair to the other customers and it's company policy, I'm sorry. Me:Can I buy those tickets now, 25 seconds is up. Guy:Oh...okay. --------------------- Well, it went something like that anyway. So, good news is I got GA tickets so I can line up at ten in the morning to be at the front at ten that night. A couple of days later though I found out that they had scheduled another show in the same city as those tickets sold out too quickly. But I'm happy, I got my beautiful tickets (they're yellow!!). Third of all, well, this was only a happy thing that happened to me for about two minutes. Some Sinisterian (sorry, forgot your name, but you know who you are) posted some absolutely fantastic post about B&S coming to Australia also!! He even posted the link to a website promoting it!! It said they were playing at the Perth town hall, which would be in Perth, which is in Australia, all seems good right? Right!? Wrong... My hopes and dreams were shattered as I discovered upon further inverstigation that they are doing a tour of Scotland, and there's some crummy place called Perth over there too. Thanks to that listee who got my hopes up so very high, you had better send me a Christmas present. Other things that are making me happy lately? My dogs, my girlfriend, my Sigur Ros CD's and the fact that I will soon be getting Nick Drake's first album. Oh, and Sinister. Thanks for reading this far if you did. I can't wait to hopefully see some of you guys if I ever come over to England, Scotland, wherever most of you live. You know I love picnics, and I see all these posts discussing forthcoming picnics and picnics that have been and discussing infamous individuals and their antics, such as Ken Chu (What is it with you? Why are you so popular? Can you juggle frogs or something?)...oh dear. One day I promise I will be over there and join you all for a picnic, and maybe even see B&S! I do not have even one other Sinisterian here in lil ol' Adelaide...or do I? Have a fun-filled weekend everyone, wish me luck for my exam (18 hours away!). Too Much Love, Nathan. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

Message-ID: <000a01c3aa5b$1f92dc10$74fea8c0@joshua> Dear Sinister, My, my. It's been a while since you've heard from me. Really the only reason I'm writing now is because of the post from a couple of days ago from someone *else* name Eric! How fucking cool is that? Okay, so it's not really that fucking cool. Still... HI NEW ERIC! Let's get together and bake cookies sometime. I was pleased to see Laura Llew announce the 2003 Sinister Christmas Present Exchange (trademark pending). I participated for the first time last year, and I encourage you all to this year. I was also pleased to see that Laura has initiated a shit list for those of you who don't send gifts. She's pretty nice about the whole thing though, since if I were in charge, the punishment would involve torture. Although then the Geneva Convention would probably come into effect, and that's always a hassle. The last time I posted, I was unemployed and looking for a job. I'm happy to report that I have been ostensibly employed for nearly a month as a substitute teacher. I've only worked two days thus far, and the scheduling is wildly erratic, but the pay is good. I subbed for a high school class a couple of weeks ago, and as I was reading the second book in A Series of Unfortunate Events, I eavesdropped on a group of annoying teenagers talking. First girl: Have you heard of Blondie? Second girl: No. FG: Well, have you heard of Debbie Harry? SG: Yeah... FG: Well, she's Blondie. They named the band after her. SG: Oh... FG: How about the Velvet Underground? At that point someone threw a superball at the wall, and I had to get up and yell. Aren't teenagers great? I'm going to go off and sob quietly now. Love, Eric P.S. Oh yeah, Belle & Sebastian released a new album a while ago. It's good. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Keeping up with the Joneses, you see. *Looks about. Well it's nice to see everyone's doing so well. What have I been doing? Well, my car decided to take a walk on its own. That was exciting. Till a tree stopped it. That was less exciting. I saw the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. That was exciting. Actually, it was terribly exciting. K Hanna my ass, Karen O is where it's at! I saw Belle and Sebastian. That was even more exciting. But then again, I was there with the above-mentioned "You have to stop singing 'Judy and the Dream of Horses' or the angry Hipster above you will smack you" Laura. I wasn't even that loud. And unlike the guy who attempted (and yet still failed) to sing Like Dylan in the Movies, I was on key. I also got to interview Richard Colburn, though I'm sure many of you will have heard this. I tend to repeat my little events ad nauseum. You can read the exciting, uncensored version at the Friends of the Heroes magazine (www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk) the world's bestest (tm) electronic magazine. Actually, it was in last week's issue, so youmight have to dig around for it, but it's worth it. It talks about their up-coming single, new tours, masturbation and the state of the UK Music Industry. It's all very exciting. It evens mentions a certain "Big International cult," but I won't say any more about that. You can also send a request to requests at www.wxdu.org and demand to hear the edited version on-air at www.wxdu.org/listen. Umm. I can't think of too much more to say. So I'll go. Bye!

No? I thought not. Well I thought I’d break the monotony of Sunday afternoon overtime by firing off a post as I’m in a bit of a B&S sort of mood. So much so that I’ve got Tigermilk playing over the computer’s speakers (one of the advantages of being the only one stuck here today). I’m sat here wishing that time would pass quicker, not just so that I can get out of here but also so that B&S will be playing my own shitty City soon. Somehow the musical wilderness that is Newcastle has been deemed suitable for a visit by the great ones, naturally I’ve got the day of the gig off work as well as the day following it, time for some bad behaviour I think. Anyway If anybody is going to the Newcastle gig and needs some friends then get in touch and meet up with me and the rest of the dancing fools. Speaking of gigs in Newcastle, nearly 2 years ago I went to one by a band called Flynn. Now Flynn was Chris ‘Pez’ Perriman’s band (is he still on the list? He doesn’t seem to have posted recently) and they were quite good and I told him I’d say so in my next post, which I just have so er… I guess that’s that. Anyway I better get back to work I’ve only spent £41,533.69 of the company’s cash this afternoon so I better go waste some more. Well they waste my life so it’s only fair.

On Friday I saw local band Estel for the first time. They turned out to be an art-rock outfit, with the emphasis on the ROCK. They even had two drummer for some songs. I feel this kind of thing is to be encouraged. After them noted Australian band Ninety Nine were on. The most notable thing about them was that they featured a mentalist on drums who looked like the spit of the Pinefox (back when he had his new wave hairstyle). Does anyone know where the Pinefox was on Friday night? could he have been playing drums in Dublin? Apart from their mentalist drummer, Ninety Nine were two women who sang and played a variety of instruments. For all that I love xylophones, the best songs were the ones where they rocked out, which is the kind of thing you should do if you have the mentalist Pinefox on drums. Last night I saw Dexy's Midnight Runners. The crowd were very up for it, in contrast to what I've heard about some of the UK audiences. Kevin Rowland (in his French gangster suit) seemed genuinely touched to be playing in Ireland, although he did not take the opportunity to sing 'My national pride'. Still, he did wow us with tunes from many eras of his band, finishing with a cover version of a Commodores track called 'Night Shift' which older readers may remember. I'll be going to more gigs next week, as I'm over to fucking London for the Strange Fruit festival and things like that. I'm going wednesday, thursday, and friday. I might see some of you at these, although I may not recognise you if we have never been introduced. later, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

The only thing that can spoil it is not getting a thank you. I was lucky, I got one straight away from my giftee. But not everyone was so lucky. IT'S NOT TOO LATE to thank that generous personage, you know. I have recently mislaid a flatmate. I believe he's in Australia. Look after him, and please, no ginger lynching if we hammer your sorry antipodean arses next weekend :) I've started this week in rather a jolly mood, as you can tell by the fact that I'm writing to y'all. I've even just humiliated myself verbally in front of a very famous film director and I'm still all smiles. It may be because over the weekend I managed to perfect my boy-covering machine. I unwisely used quick-drying cement, so I have one or two legal wrangles to sort out before it becomes fully operational, but it works just as well with chocolate. So any boys (or girls - she's not picky, the Llew) who fancy a trip to the Carolinas in the hold of a cargo plane, drop me a line. Bring your own breathing tube. I was at a lunch party yesterday and I think every single person there had tickets for B&S in London, though pretty much everyone was going independently of the others. How about that?

Message-ID: <20C923ABB8FB96448F9C5E6322A3CAC63B94D7@mail.blair.edu> Hello all, I've been watching from afar for quite some time, but I've been a bit too timid to speak up. So before I say anything at all, you're all quite lovely and splendid. But anyway, I've got a story to tell. This past monday, I made the harrowing journey from northwestern New Jersey to New York City to observe everyone's favorite, Belle & Sebastian. It was my first time, so I was rediculously excited. The details of the show have already been posted, so I'll not bore you with that, but the truely happy part of this story follows the show. My friends and I, hoping for a glimpse of the band, wait outside of the venue for a bit after the show, when suddenly a small bee-line of people starts to file back into the venue (Town Hall). I walk in with my friends, fully expecting to be pushed away by security, but curiously enough, we get back into the hall, and simply file backstage. Still I expect not to make it to the band, when I look up, and standing before me is Stuart, just taking so! me time and talking with fans outside of the dressing room. I patiently wait my turn, then introduce myself to him, shake his hand, and make small talk about the show, then I spoke with him of my impending trip to Scotland to visit schools. He at least acted very interested, then offered to go into the dressing room and fetch us some beer. When he came back, he opened drinks for everyone, but one of my friends and I told him that we'd rather not, and that we don't drink. Rather than leaving it at that, he then offers to go find us a soft drink. We, of course, tell him that that wouldn't be necessary, and after saying goodbyes, he went into the dressing room, and we headed home. Needless to say, I was impressed and awestruck, and upon arriving at home, ordered up tickets for three nights ago (Friday) at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia. Another superb set (I'm sorry, I didn't get the chance to write down the set, I found myself without a pen, but hopefully someone else did write it down, or else it will be on the B&S official site sooner or later). Anyway, after the show a group of us wait outside. First, all of the band but Stuart come out, and they do a bit of a meet and greet, speak with us, sign thigns, etc. Then, quite some time later, stuart comes out of the side door, sees us, and invites us back in so that we can talk to him where it's warm. After many photos, I get to talking to him, and he immediatly recognises me from the show earlier in the week, and asked me if I had made the gig in northhampton, which I had not. Then, at my pathetic fanboy lowest, I asked him to sign my ticket. afterward, I thanked him and put it back in my wallet. I ! talked to him a bit about the alternate inserts for 3...6...9 seconds, and we both agreed that isobel is a loon for not choosing his first one. We talked a bit more, then I left with my friend. When I got into the car, I pulled out my ticket and looked at it, and he had signed it "To Jimmy". He had remembered my name from monday night! Needless to say, I was quite elated. That's all I've got for now, so thank you to anyone who made it through. I'm not sure if it displays my address, but if it doesnt, and you'd like to talk to me, I'm at schnej at blair.edu Love, James +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: Hey Sinister-ites, After attending two amazing Belle and Sebastian concerts last week at Town Hall, I thought it was about time I delurk. I had seen the band in concert for the first time during the summer, but the seat was too far away from the stage for my liking. It wasn't until the Town Hall shows that I realized how truly charming the band is...with their impromptu song requests and witty banter...I think the evenings can best be summed up from a quotation from the great film 'The Manchurian Candidate': "You just cannot believe how lovable the whole damn thing was...The days were lovable. The nights were lovable. And everybody was lovable." They were so lovable, in fact, that I am currently undergoing B&S withdrawal. Sure I have the records, but nothing beats seeing a great band perform two nights in a row. Well, it's probably best to keep the first message short, but keep the emails coming as I do enjoy reading them... red balloons & ferris wheels, shelley ...have i eaten my sister's chocolate pudding? You see, she didn't want it at dinner, but apparently did want it saved so she could have it before she went to bed. Well, good Christ, how was I supposed to know all that, Hannah? Who looks into the fine points when he's hungry? I'm eight years old and chocolate pudding happens to get me hot. All I have to do is see that deep chocolatey surface gleaming out at me from the refrigerator, and my life isn't my own. --'Portnoy's Complaint,' Philip Roth _________________________________________________________________ Compare high-speed Internet plans, starting at $26.95. https://broadband.msn.com (Prices may vary by service area.) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Can be the shirts disposed with systematic precision on coat hangers. Could be the memory of childhood, of the radio, sit on the fridge, talking about the football fixture. Could be any of these things, or could be for no reasons. I just like ironing. Same how I like tea, travelling trams, Russian novelists, Indian food, American contemporary poetry or mathematics. Sunday is a good day to listen to the radio: transmissions. I´ll agree, Sunday´s a god day to listen to Belle and Sebastian. And Nick Drake. When I got my way in the venue I saw a man sitting down a kind of wood box, playing some sort of modern edition of middle age instrument, even being in a Church, even being possibly my favourite place in town, I must admit that wasn´t what I expected to see and listen to. So I walk all my way down the benches. Looking for a place to sit, but I couldn´t find a spot. It was just started. When everybody is quite, when you don´t want to be the one who breaks the silence. I walk down the alley and take the first corner on the left, heading outside. Might have been to smoke a cigarette. Might have been to move out of embarrassment. Outside the air was fresh and the rain was falling lighter and thinner then ever. Almost unreal through the last few yellow leaves left on the maples. Into the brick wall maze, I head a faint sound apparently, coming, apparently from nowhere. I couldn´t recognise what it was, but for some it sounded some kind of familiar. So I just followed the sound, in the fashion of a mesmerising one. Walked a few more steps into the maze, and as far as the music from the auditorium start to fade out, I could recognise the tune. They were slipping the clock around. Just from above my head. It must have been the bar, and it was. I just got in when the song was finishing, but, with my surprise and delight, they were playing the entire album. Hence I got me a pint, sit down, and forgot about the man playing sort-of-middle-age instruments downstairs. I closed my eyes, but, I´m afraid, I´ve seen you everywhere. And by the sea in the wintertime. When the orison vanishes into the water and the water into the mist. When the borders disappear. When the lines becomes subtitle and almost unreal. Broken only by the white wings of the sea gulls. And a bit of land, in confused shapes, and the colour of dark sand, right over the sunset line. - Is it Ireland? - I asked. She turned at me with wearing her best smile, and with a line shining into her eyes - No, it´s Scotland - She said. - Oh! Scotland. - We left our step foot behind us, the only things breaking the irregular, black veined, stripes on the beach. And passing by the docks, the warehouses, an unreal sound, floating slowly through the air, like an old French song being played from a distant place, or in a movie set. Or it might have been just from the sawmill. Is this what happiness is like?

I could hang about and burn my fingers, I could go up to the country park, get some fish and chips, but I've got no energy, I'm a lazy get. Suddenly, without a warning, I was surprised. I heard a voice begin to speak, and he told me something pretty strange: "It's Nineteen Ninety-Five". I was puzzled, I was confounded, I need to talk to someone. Well, it won't hurt to think of you, and listen to what other people say. So how about it? It occurred to me that Sunday, as I listened over the rustling leaves to a recording of a radio interview with Stuart Murdoch*, that his band are something of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Their latest album, Dear Catastrophe Waitress, feted for its new, modern sound, contains no less than three songs written circa 1995: Dear Catastrophe Waitress, If She Wants Me and Lord Anthony. DCW was probably written even earlier. The vast majority of Belle and Sebastian's output appears to have been written during 95-96, including the first two albums, the first three EPs, and the title track of the fourth, to name just the ones I know of. << Sebastian wrote all of his best songs in 1995. In fact, most of his best songs have the words 'Nineteen Ninety-five' in them. It bothered him a little. What will happen in 1996? >> So my question is this. My problem, my confusion, the puddle in my Sunday pile of leaves. Exactly how many songs did Stuart write in 1995? Are there any other bands who wrote most of their songs in a couple of years then released them years and years later? Is this in any way significant? Where are my glasses? Oh, there they are! Mr David Moore, Lord of Chelmsford sent me a little correction to the lyrics of Scooby Driver. Here are the full lyrics for anyone who gives a cock. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Scooby Driver I'm coming over in the wrong direction I only want to be the centre of your attention For long enough to show you I'm worth the trouble that you take I want to see the way that you portray A boy who maybe doesn't have too much to say And you can draw your own conclusions But you'll find I'm not a fake You can turn away from me But there's nothing that'll keep me here you know And you'll never be the city guy Any more than I'll be hosting the Scooby Show +++ Feeling terrible I need protection There's a lot of ugly stuff that's going on I want to live my life inside a car that's movin' fast I want to see the way that you portray A boy who's going to try and change his life today +++ Everybody's clearly out to get me I�ve got a right to stay inside my bedroom door And close my eyes and listen to the music Really makes you sore And if you turn away from me I will put you on my list of folk to hate I will write it in my diary And I will take revenge at a later date ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I was randomly searched for drugs on Friday while I waited at the station for my mislaid train. Charlie, the police dog, apparently thought I smelled of drugs, but I'm sure that he could just smell the bacon I'd had for my dinner. They took me into a back room, and filled in a form about me while I dropped my trousers. Well, I thought I was *supposed* to drop my trousers. That's what they do on telly, isn't it? "There's no suspicious packages in *there*, sir." Helen, the disarmingly fragrant police officer, asked me how old I was and what I did. I think she fancied me. Gosh, I thought, and tipped my hat to a more attractive angle. But Charlie could smell bacon again and they were off, so I buckled up my trousers and went to find my train. I wonder if anyone has bought Step Into My Office Baby yet..

A new B&S single came out yesterday, and nobody has mentioned it yet. Strange. It's enough to make you wonder if maybe people only review new releases because they want to show off about getting it before the release date. Anyway, it's quite good. I still think it's a bizarre choice of single, on of the weaker songs on the album; but what do I know? I thought Legal Man was rubbish until I saw it done live. As for the B-sides; two songs we know already from the Peel Session, both done up with ridiculous amounts of production and daft noises. And no, neither of them were produced by Mr Horn. By the way, for those of you who joined since I last got off my arse to post about 6 months ago, hello. Actually, that's not quite right. I'm sitting on my arse to post. Can't think of a better metaphor though. Sorry. My brain has died. I'm living with the parents for a bit unfortunately, and it's not the most thrilling place on the planet. Their idea of a good night is settling down in front of the telly to watch the Antiques Roadshow. It's like purgatory, but without the heat. Still, only a few weeks to go until I traipse down to London for a few days. Any meetups planned yet? Come on London folk, get your arses in gear... (I appear to be obsessed with arses today. Must be a Freudian thing, or something). Speaking of which, I really should get my own arse in gear and find somewhere to stay in London, it's a bit of a long way to come back for the night... I'm looking forward to the London gigs. The thing is, the Astoria is also home every Satruday night to the UK's most famous gay night. Can we expect a cover version of YMCA? You see, loads of exciting things have been happening since I posted last. A new album. A new DVD. Even, best of all, a couple of posts from Genevieve (for recent joinees, search the archives for her posts and admire...) The album's pretty good really isn't it? Even if I didn't hear it until three weeks after it had come out, because I was in Morocco at the time (oops, did that just slip in there? How careless of me). I've not figured out what all the fuss is with Stay Loose though. I mean, it's not that out of the ordinary is it? It's not wonderfully bad, it's not wonderfully good. Does making your voice sound like Squeeze really make it revolutionary? That's the great thing about music though, everyone's opinion is different. Nobody is intrinsically right. And nobody is intrinsically wrong. Apart from Coldplay fans, obviously. For example, I happen to like Roy Walker. A lot. In fact I think it's currently my second favourite song on the album, after I'm A Cuckoo, which is pretty much nicked wholesale from Thin Lizzy anyway. I even like Roy Walker considerably more than Rhoda. Sorry Mark. Then there was the DVD. Which made me realise that I've waster far too much of my life listening to B&S, I had no idea it was that long ago. Still, the songs are good, and the videos are good. And as for the bits inbetween... It seems the main result of watching the DVD is realising quite how much of an anorak you are. In fact, get it out again and watch it closely, and you can give yourself an anorak score. Give yourself: +1 point every time you recognise a song being played without looking in the sleeve notes. +10 if you spot where the sleeve notes have got it wrong. +2 if you know what song's coming up next without consulting the sleeve notes. +2 every time you spot Richard gurning behind the drumkit. +2 if you recognise a location which appears on film (I know this one gives bonus points to Glaswegians, but hey...) +5 every time you see someone who you can name (not including band members). +10 if it's Drew Barrymore. +15 if it's yourself. and for a bonus, +1 every time you hear a band member say "Y'Know" (that should get everyone into triple figures...). Oh, and -10 if you have ever played the opening bit in slow motion to work out where all the pictures are of, because that's just sad. If you get more than 30 points, you're an A-grade anorak. If you get more than 50 points, you really should get out more. If you get more than 100 points, you can't count. Right, I'm off to lurk for a few months. See you in London...

Rubbing th sleep from my eyes, I thought I was dreaming. Ha! Well, not exactly, but it did seem silly. The slick teeny bopper boy presenters were falling all over themselves with joy as apparently they're huge fans. Go figure. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised here either, as everyone loves Belle and Sebastian, I was told matter-of-factly by a colleague the other day. A colleague who likes the football and the drinking and military haircuts and sensible shoes and would never in a million years strike you as a secret anorak. Maybe he's right. Not only were the presenters falling over themselves, but Stevie was falling of the couch. He was petering dangerously on the edge, swinging one of his legs about nervously as he talked about Drew Barrymore, seeming camp but lecherous all at the same time, while looking suitably adorable nd innocent in his shirt and jumper combo. Richard, on the other hand, was DA MAN, all cool and relaxed and clearly enjoying talking about his office sex god role in the new video. Weird. Misteeq, 50 cent, and Belle and Sebastian. Happy morning. Hell, it helped me wake up. After a horrid night's non sleep as well. Bless. I've moved away from Glasgow to the hinterlands of northern Scotland, and I've missed 'the scene' a bit, I realised. It was kind of comforting seeing the boys on the tele. And soon live. Woo! Though I always find it weird seeing them in their rock star element now. Seeing thousands of random fans screaming and shit. I prefer to think of them as the boys next door, who'll tell you all about their thoughts on the state of transport and know what their talking about. DORKs. Mmmm. I have to get to work now. Hope you all are enjoying the non-stop B&S multimedia entertainment extravaganza recently. toodles, stacey ps: careless talk costs lives. that illustration...blech. i prefer pretty photos. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Blessed because it got me out of PE, hahaha) and now I am about to go home. But not yet. Because I know how bored I'll be, and that I will end up watching Full House again. I am being treated in this computer lab to crap general r n b +, i repeat, PLUS, that crap hit that goes "turn me ooonnnn hug me hug me" etc. So, yeah. At the same time. Also in my ears: testosteron-filled boys' laughter. THANK YOU WORLD. So, what's happening then? Well... I don't know if I'm doing much at the moment. Maybe, but just MAYBE, I'm, oh the shock!, enjoying life. YES! I mean, the only thing that gets me going usually are meeting heros and going to gigs, but even the everyday life is nice now. I know. It's so strange, isn't it? Well, ok. It's not sprung from nowhere. I promise you. Boys... ach how I wish I could ignore you. But no, no, let's make your general mood be affected by them. Currently I have one big crush on someone, and my old, er, fling-that's-not-a-fling, since we don't,er, do anything, but he shoots me pervy looks at the most inappropriate times so I feel happy anyways. This has so far been a somewhat serious post, so, I should turn it around by letting you lot have the honour and privelige of gaining access to... another of mine and Amanda's conversations on the phone! YAY! M= Me, A = Amanda. M: Yo M'Ho! A: Yo, oohh wait I have to put on pants! M: ..? A: No, not like that. I was just in the middle of changing clothes. M: Oh, right. I thought you were just pantless and pervy in general A: Hold on. PAUSE. M: It's weird, I thought about this thing we did when I was seven and learning English, and everyone had one letter each to yell out loud, in the order of the alphabet, not just in general A: That would've been quite a scene. M: Indeed. Anyways, the thing was, I had the letter Y, and I remember standing there, with this big paper with a big Y on it, waiting for my turn to shout it out loud, and all the parents were watching with pride and I somehow couldn't stop thinking about how the letter Y was pronounced exactly the same as the word why and it really bugged me. A: Did you manage to yell your letter? M: Loud and clear. Ah, that's good. How did you learn English? Did you also watch Muzzy? A: MUZZY IN GONDOLAND! It was the best! M: I KNOW! A: [adopts weird voice] I eat clocks! M: Wow, that's a good impression. he was so funny, like, [tries to do the same] I eat clocks" A: that sounded more like a German accent. M: I know. Damn it. I want to do the Muzzy voice too. I can do someone else though. Who's this? "I'm CLEVERRR!" A: Oh, it's that guy, Corwax! M: The green evil guy with... A: The big golden hat! M: Muzzy in Gondoland, that's quality. Then there are characters like Barney the fucked-up purple dinosaur. I REALLY hate him. A: ME TOO! Ah, "Don't let a grown-up touch you on your special places". M: I mean, sure if someone sort of trustworthy says it when you're a kid, but a sort of retarded-looking, purple dinosaur with his mission to spread some "love"? Suspicious. A: Barney is such a fucker. M: YES. Let's change the subject. [Silence, followed by singing in harmonies for a while] M: Um, so, yeah.. um... A: ARE YOU TRYING TO END THIS CONVERSATION? M: No... I just wondered if it was going any further, you know. A: So you WANTED to end it! M: Only because I thought you wanted to! A: WELL NO! I thought we were having musical moments here! M: We were, but... A: FINE. Let's hang up. M: Oh stop it. A: No, no, you made your point. M: Don't be like that. A: Ok. I guess. Hmmm. ... And then followed some more, but I'm sure you've had enough by now. In other news, I bought a pair of Clarks Wallabees yesterday and I'm currently wearing them. They are in "distressed leather" which sounds a bit strange, but they're cool, except sometimes you feel like your wearing big chunks of wood on your feet. And I posted a much too late letter to Anders yesterday as well. Sinister Xmas Exchange - here I come!

This was in no way deliberate, and we're sorry that you yanks have been hard done by. So, we'd like to give you the opportunity to get the artwork as originally intended. Simply send the insert, with a stamped addressed envelope to: Rough Trade Chelsea Hotel 222 West 23rd St New York NY 10011 and Rough Trade will send you the eight-page booklet complete with lyrics, photos and credits.

(for 5 minutes early on i was unhappy b/c a crew of goonish indie men began to 'mosh' near the front, causing some annoyance. especially when some pulled out, i kid you not, digicams. i'm just, like, er, do you not listen to lyrics? please put away your collector/capturer personas for an hour and be decent. i'm an asshole. no. i'm decidely not. i just hold le tigre near and dear.) so: always good to see le tigre, feel like you can do anything you set your mind to (it's true-oooo!), and dance like a maniac to 'deceptacon'. when buses strike back: holy crap, there's a bus/metro strike on in montreal. how am i supposed to achieve a nice, protective layer of fat for the winter months when i have to do all this walking and cycling everywhere? criminal. i guess i need to drink more beer. while walking and cycling. just all the time really. oh, and eat chocolate. see, i know my fat-making abilities and those two things will do it for sure. remember back when thespark.com had a 'gain x number of pounds in x number of days' contest? i would have kicked ass in that by eating beer and candy alone. and not walking or cycling anywhere. when i see hot pink graffiti, i say that's the graffiti for me: before the bus strike, i saw some pink graffiti in a metro stn on a billboard. it was in that graffiti language i'm not cool enough to understand, but i think it was along the lines of 'rraaarr, we write graffiti! now go and write an essay about it somewhere you silly little academic wad!' haha, aw, pink graffiti. visit montreal, i will try not to be too weird: helen of australia rocks right back. i saw her in the summertime and we walked around montreal and looked at things and i babbled about stuff and i'm sure was awkwardly quiet at times too, yet she still thinks i'm O.K. And she's a world traveller and therefore *knows*. one day i will go to australia and be a world traveller too. but mostly i will go to the beach and drink beer and eat candy. you were always on my mind, you were always on my mind: i bought a new walkman for $15.97 plus gst and pst b/c my old walkman broke a while ago and i am too cheap (ppoorr) to go for a discman and too damn *smart* to go for an mp3 player just quite yet. ipod ipod ipod. want. not going to get. unless it's $15.97. which, nope, it isn't. anyway, so i'm back listening to my tapes again, enjoying mixes made pre-2000, featuring the pet shop boys, the pixies, b&s, mag fields, you know the drill... the only downside to the walkman is that it's ultra sensitive (read 'cheap', not 'lubricated thin latex') to radio waves and things, so that every time i walk by a big construction site or a taxi it buzzes and sometimes even clicks. it's like the city is remixing my tunes yo. and damaging my cochlea. ow, my cochlea! hahahaha. love and bits, robyn p.s. despite having a pink raincoat, 60s style, i still want loralai's pink coat, the one she was wearing last gilmore girls episode with the awesome black and pink dress which i also want. p.p.s. thinking about tv has just reminded me that rupert got kicked off survivor last night. it was sad. both b/c it was a sad event and b/c i yelled at the tv and then at the heavens and then at myself. but really: why? rupert was the best thing to happen to reality tv since do-it-yourself liposuction on the home and garden network. yeah, so that never happened except on the TV Screen in My Head (8 p.m. Wednesdays, CTV), but man, Rupert gone? i'm writing him a letter. (yes, just like the windchill factor, reality is but a feeling too. a FEELING.) ===== I was reading the dictionary.

Message-ID: Is anyone else missing the barrage of reporting backs that kept the list humming happily there while B&S were touring the US? Even if I couldn't go to all of them, it was nice hearing about it. Of course, it was also nice going to the "missed connection" part on Craigs List during the NYC ones and seeing ones like, "Belle & Sebastian show: you were the Asian girl with asymetrical hair. I was the boy with the too tight sweater on. I think we might be soul mates." L-l-l-l-love connection. So my point in writing this is to quickly remind everyone that if you want to particpate in the Sinister Christmas Present Exchange then you need to get your information to me before this Tuesday. Unless you've JUST sent me your information (*waves to Grainne and S Lord*) then you should have already gotten a confirmation e-mail from me. If not, that means that it got lost in the wonders of the modern interweb so please send again. You should be hearing from me before the end of this month as to who you will be giving to. For information on what it is and how to participate please go here: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200311/msg00050.html Right now we have about 40 people signed up to participate and that's just a little shy of enough to help me build my chocolate covered boy brigade so snip snap people! I realize that in the past few days it's been hard to tear your eyes off of Michael Jackson's police booking photo (which as Songles Dave pointed out - looks exactly like the painting "The Scream") which seems to be schlacked everywhere in the media. However, these are the things which we must overcome. Be strong my sinikids, Ll _________________________________________________________________ Has one of the new viruses infected your computer?

Before I start, I must draw your attention to this: http://www.petitiononline.com/Rhoda/petition.html It's the online petition for "Rhoda", an early B&S song, to be re-released. Even if you've never heard it, please sign it; at this stage you just have to trust me and Mark C that it's the greatest unreleased composition by the band. Go on, sign it now. Click the link. You can read the rest of my Scintilating Post in a minute. I mean it. Sign it now: http://www.petitiononline.com/Rhoda/petition.html http://www.petitiononline.com/Rhoda/petition.html. Signed it yet? Right then, I'll begin. Sensationally, I *don't* have a ticket to go and see Belle & Sebastian this winter, not because I missed the ticket bus, but because it would have cost me about fifty quid to go and see them what with train fares and similar malarky, and I just don't have that kinda money at the moment. It's very sad. That said however, I did go and see Radiohead last night, in what I can only describe as something of a religious experience*. I hope the concerts are good for all those who go though. Having allowed DCW to sink in a little, I think I can safely say that in my mind it's the strongest of B&S's albums. I mean sure, there are two duff tracks on it (DCW, which, since Carsmile mentioned it, I can't stop hearing as a My Life Story record, and RW - The Clunker #2, surely), but then again so do most of the other records. And the remaining tracks are, well, nigh on perfection, in my humble O. It's been two months now, and ISWM is still recieving *daily* airplay. That's rare for me, btw. So I bought the new single, too. Big Stu was mentioning the lack of reviews, and for that sparce analysis you'll be punished with my opinions. I personally think it's great. Surely SIMO,B is one of the best tracks on the DCW. For me, the highlight of the entire album comes at 3:03 on this track, when that synth gambols into the break-down like someone putting an axe through a watermain. Wonderful stuff. LOTM sounds great all studio-ed up, I reckon. I wasn't keen on the Peel Sesh version, but all studio-ed up it's great. I've recently joined a samba percussion group, and it's nice to hear one of my favourite bands doing some Brazilian tinged stuff. And DMAFOM? Well, it's DMAFOM; who can argue? Gorgeous melody, and that unexpected chord-change in the chorus? Phew, it got me going, for sure. I guess, actually, that's all I've got to say at the moment. As far as my state of mind goes, I've been a bit stressed, but nothing I can't handle really. Hopefully. I just really wanted to tell you what I thought of the new single. Time was, once, that Sinister would be flooded with thoughts of a new single. Wow, aren't we grown up... :-) Oh, and sign here: http://www.petitiononline.com/Rhoda/petition.html love Asm.x *and I'm not even that much of a Radiohead obsessive, either. ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield _________________________________________________________________ Sign-up for a FREE BT Broadband connection today! http://www.msn.co.uk/specials/btbroadband +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I've tried for a week and everyone tells me, "It's on order. It's on order. It's on order." Strange for something that was supposed to have been shipped and available for purchase on November 18. First, my DCW booklet was missprinted. Then, the DCW vinyl was delayed. Now, the single seems to have been lost. AND the single booklet is missing six (6) pages. Apparently. I wouldn't know, not having the damn thing. What's up, Rough Trade? Love, Eric PS You should all go out and buy Franz Ferdinand's EP Darts of Pleasure.

For me, the highlight of the entire album comes at 3:03 on this track, when that synth gambols into the break-down like someone putting an axe through a watermain. Wonderful stuff. >>> Dear Catastrophe Waitress is a great song, whatever slander Carsmile Steve has been spreading about it. Step into My Office, on the other hand, is just a bit *average*, I'd say. Especially the bit that goes "I want to give you the job, a chance of overtime", that sounds more like someone putting an axe through Pete Waterman. But you should still go and buy the single on the strength of the B sides alone. Love on the March, which didn't sound that good on the radio, and which I might have said bad things about her before, is rather splendid. It really goes to show how much difference a good arrangement and recording can make. I especially like the harmonies and the fact that it gets really angry. All credit to Mr Mick Cooke. Desperation Made a Fool of Me is wonderful wonderful wonderful in every way. Gosh, I would buy the single on the strength of this song alone. I think that the main problem with B&S releasing album tracks as singles is that the other songs are implicitly less important once they have B side status. Lots of people are likely to think, "Oh, well, if Step Into My Office is the best song on it, and I've got that already, then I won't bother", whereas Step Into My Office is actually the worst song on it and the other two songs are ace. In fact, I think I'm going to call this the "Desperation Made a Fool of Me Single", because I think it should be. And I Don't Know, If She Floats or Drowns =========================== I spent Saturday homeless, as the landlady had got some workmen round to put double glazing in my bedroom and they stank the rest of the house out with Kiss FM. As I crossed the bridge I noticed a goth floating down the river. A lot of people were standing and pointing and eating crisps. It seemed that, while the English were winning the rugby, the Welsh were enjoying a more traditional form of entertainment. If she survives she's a witch, if she doesn't she's a goth. It works out well either way. I had a secret hope that when the girl was rescued the water would reveal that underneath her funereal robes she was wearing pink spandex, but, as might be expected, there was only layer upon layer of infinitely black underwear, woven from spiders' webs and dyed with bats' blood. You Don't Have to Wear that Dress Tonight =========================== I was very sad that Roxanne was voted off Pop Idol, because I thought she was really good. It seems you need to have a weight problem or a stutter to win a talent show these days. At least Suzanne is still in. Gosh, I love Suzanne. Almost as much as I love Martine McCutcheon. I really want to go and see 'Love Actually', even though I heard it's rubbish, simply for the lovely Martine. I wonder if anyone has seen it. I hope she says "Lumme" or "Lord love a duck" or something of that sort; it would make my day. xxx R _________________________________________________________________ Use MSN Messenger to send music and pics to your friends http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Well, it's true. So very true. My hipster quotient just dropped 600 points with that admission, damn. Now I won't even be able to get into an *Interpol* show. But: it's so good, the album. Wrapped Up in Books is an impossibly good song, as is I'm a Cuckoo. If She Wants Me, at least the way Stuart sings on the song, reminds me of the BeeGees, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. Recent monetary deficits incurred because of grad school fees ( $70 'processing costs' obviously mean that the schools have to cover the 40 bottles of Caswell-Massey sandalwood soap they use to scour their hands with after touching each piece of paper in candidates' applications) necessitates me not taking part in the Christmas Exchange, although I did have a ridiculously good time with that last year, thanks to Laura Llew, Amy Page and Kieran Devaney (apologies to the girl to whom I sent presents, you live in New York and I can't remember your name, sorry- but you were a good recipient, I'm sure). The only caveat I would throw into the pot, with respect to sending things, is that for those of you who live in the U.S. you might want to think twice about sending blocks of Floridian tuna to your U.K. recipients. Fish, for some reason, tends to not travel well in hot cardboard boxes. Nor mayonnaise, if you were considering that. Used ear-plugs are quite the favorite though, I hear. I bought some girl in Chicago the new single, and I was glad to hear, today I think, that it's beyond good. Via Robin Stout, if I remember correctly. I have to say though, I don't think the cover art for the single is up to the level that they've established- I mean, the photo's nice and bright, and the cover stars are all nice-looking, but why the conflation of tennis and office-located sexual harassment? Are the girls asking for a ruling on a dispute over some wayward balls? My hermeneutical skills are frankly baffled by this picture. I'm vaguely looking forward to T-giving, although what food-centric holiday is complete without some sort of dramatic tension? My uncle Gary (who is not blood-kin) is a retired Marine, and will be in attendance this year. I've managed to avoid him for the past couple Thanksgivings by simply drinking lots before dinner and then collapsing into coma immediately afterwards. This is the man who would, with feigned casualness, tell me and my little brothers that unless we ate the rest of our mashed potatoes, he would take us all out back and beat the shit out of us. He used to say this without a smile, and with jaw ligaments bulging- thereby affecting a very complex and intense fear in myself and all of my siblings that persists to this day. I have a plan for this year though- when he asks me, as I'm sure he will, what I'm going to grad school for, I'll turn to him slowly and just say 'what the fuck dude, get out of my face', and then grab my grandmother and hold a gravy ladle next to her neck in a threatening manner. Should work. Even if short is the new long, I feel like I've failed in some really integral way in this post. Maybe the other Kevin can fare better. The other Kevin: hello, what's going on?. There's also a third Kevin, non-jackflaps and non-Hyde. Hello third Kevin. I enjoyed your story of roadside relieving-of-self.

(okay, okay, so it's probably more like raising your fist in the air, and 'poignard' is actually a dagger, with the connotation of something being 'pointed' and all, BUT they all go together and that spells SMUT. and the sinister smut-o-metre hasn't been moving into the red-zone lately. i try, i try. in both official languages.) p.s. the beginning of 'wrapped up in books' is pretty much an aislers set song. in fact, the whole song is very aislers set, like a tribute to them, i'd like to think, since i know b&s love them. aw. ain't it grand? ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden at yahoo.com Montreal, QC __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

(though i suspect this endeavour will result in more than one injury) 10) i owe lots of you emails...sorry. :o( 11) i had a really weird dream about the frapps! i dreamt that our own ben and rachel were in chicago on account of them wanting to see Ian Anderson (of Jethro Tull fame) in concert here. the 2 of them came to my house to find me but i was out...so they tracked me down at the restaurant i was dining at. they walked in and i said to my friends "oh my god!! that is rachel fruitloop apps and ben apps!!!!" then i ducked all shyly....then the frapps walked over to me and rachel said " stine!! we found you!! we are going to see Ian Anderson and need you to care for our daughter, Rayma. She is 1 1/2 and well behaved." with that i was handed baby, diaper bag, and the frapps were on their way. weird :O) 12) love to you all :O) ~stine __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

RI:SE ===== Hmm.. B&S WENT ON TV the other day, and nobody has mentioned it yet. Strange. It's enough to make you wonder if maybe people only review interviews because they want to show off about the fact that they were doing the interviews!!! :-) Well I watched it anyway, on RI:SE, I actually ro:se for it (with help from a txt msg reminder), and wow wasn't it great. I turned on the TV, and saw a row of celebrities: MC Harvey, some girl i don't know, some dude I don't know. Star studded line-up, but WHERE WERE BELLE AND SEBASTIAN!!! Or have various B&S members undergone sex and race change operations?!? Later on it was revealed that Stevie and Richard were actually on the show!!! But either because there weren't enough seats in the studio, or other reasons, the token Scots were relegated to sitting BEHIND THE BAR!!! And every now and then (less often than not) the presenter would reach his head back and say hi. So it went on like this for ages, we found out that MC Harvey's favourite album is a Michael Jacksons one. Some girl I don't know's favourite album "has got to be Abba", and Stevie likes Rubber Soul by the Fab Four. And then later on there was a brief discussion on the Electric Honey label of Stow College, where Tigermilk was made, before swiftly moving onto a lengthy discussion of MC Harvey's love affair with Alesha Dixon, of Dixons fame. Another half an hour of gruelling RI:SE later we got to the good bit!! FANS CAN PHONE IN and ask the artists questions!! First we had an old granny who had once met MC Harvey in a holiday resort, and had since become a huge fan. (He gave her a hug!! Aw). Pretty interesting. THEN, it was a BELLE AND SEBASTIAN FAN!!! YAY! Some guy whose name was "Barington" I think.. and asked the killer question... "You know you guys formed the band in an all night café... do you still go back there for nostalgic reasons?" At which point the presenter went - "How do you know this?? Are you some kind of obsessive mentalist fan or somm'in??" Well, seeing that almost every piece of B&S review goes on about this fact, it can't be that surprising that he knows. A REAL obsessive would have called up and maybe said something like "I saw you once on Sauciehall Street taking out just £10 from the cash machine, were you quite skint or something??" And none of us would have done that now would we? Anyway yeah, apparently that cafe had since closed (it was called the "Grovesjlkfsnlnor" or something). or something. And then I went to work and i was 5 minutes late.

You see, if I'd got a B for music GCSE instead of a C, I would write a song like this myself. It's a surefire way to pop stardom. It'd be played on telly at least once a year, guaranteed. I'd write a song all about Michaela, the beautiful World Championship referee... I position my cue, She polishes my balls, Then I shoot into the hole. Michaela my dear, Won't you come round for tea? I'll give you a bacon roll. It's a missed opportunity, for sure. Richard's bound to be up for it, too. I've often seen him wistfully chalking the ends of his drumsticks, a tear in his eye for what might have been. I reckon someone should start an internet petition to "Write a song about snooker - do it for Richard!" Did I ever tell you how great Desperation Made a Fool of Me is? Did anyone take part in the I'm A Cuckoo video shoot?

James Mercer's melodic sense and phrasing reminds me of Stuart's. It's less controlled though... Maybe you all knew the Shins already but any B&S fans who don't, and need something new to chew on between B&S releases, I think you'll like it. It was a great discovery for me, even if I'm way behind the times. The song "Gone for Good" was the closest thing to my life at the moment I've heard in a long time. If anyone knows that song, you'll know what my life looks like right now. (I've noticed some of you 'tell all' on the list.... I prefer to speak in musical code...) -Ethan ethan at ethangold.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

It's been about a month or so since my last confession. I _meant_ to write a good report of the show I saw in St. Paul, but then I had to write a paper about it and it never occurred to me until the other day to just copy and paste that, and now it's 450 miles away with the rest of my stuff since I'm home for the holidays now. Sad! I'll try and give a brief rundown of the good costumes which the band was wearing on account of it having been Halloween and all. Actually I only remember three of them doing anything out of the ordinary so this will be pretty quick. Stuart came out dressed in one of those full-body skeleton outfits you can buy at Wal-Mart for like $5 (but don't buy them from Wal-Mart, they suck). He played the ribs on it like a xylophone, and then that was the end of that and he had some other outfit on underneath that which he wore for the rest of the night. Mick had his face painted all in white and had put fake blood all over the front of his shirt, which rocked all of us like the real thing. Sarah had one of those little plastic devil's pitchforks and a pair of devil horns which she was wearing as a headband. I think that about covers it. Also they played some songs, and they were all pretty good. Did I mention I was sitting in an opera box seat at the show? I think I did in the last e-mail I tried to send, before the internet devoured it alive. Well, I did. I wish I'd had opera glasses to view the concert with but I think it would have been at odds with my singing along to basically every song and shouting "Celtic!" when someone down below shouted "Partick Thistle" first. I don't think people in box seats do that sort of thing. Anyway, so I'm in Illinois right now so I watch a lot of TV. I don't get to see Belle and Sebastian on it, though, so I can't report back on anything like that, though. The video for "Hey Ya!" is totally awesome, though. Hello to the #sinister people I know. I should be back around soon enough. shaking it like a polaroid picture, -kevin (jackflaps) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Squire Gardiner mentioned about meet ups in London. I am travelling all the way over the irish sea for this gig and wouldn't mind a meet up/piss up of sorts. I am going to the wednesday gig if that aids matters any. I can't wait , even though my window for getting to london is thin , if we don't get that flight in the early morning our plans are basically sunk which would be a shame. going to england last week i was meant to fly out on friday morning , due to weather our flight was cancelled and we had to drive to Kerry Airport to fly out 12 hours after we intended. This is the eqivilant to wanting to fly out of Newark and driving to the tiniest municiple airport with no longterm carpark and damn expensive guinness . the dvd i must say i like. i am not in any way an anorak of it but it is getting there, i noticed at least one example of gurning which funnily enough is a word i never new existed until this very day. Drew Barrymore? i tried once and came to the conclusion that my remaining leg was being pulled. i got ms campbells album the other day and must say i quite like it. ok i felt like a bit of a idiot going up to the counter with a pink cd case and lining up behind a guy with the buffy box set but anyway i pulled through and after i tore the sticker off say "ex belle and sebastian cellist" and had a moment silence i put the album on and it was rather goo d. something in me wasn't expecting to be. i think cats pajamas is my fave thus far. some of it does sound slightly like b+s when she was with them which makes sense. Also i noticed in the liner notes that she thanks Mr Stuart David ( i wonder how wee Karn is , since he hasn't done anything of particular importance since i feel i have lost touch with what wee karn has said/done/shat) and she doesn't even mention anyone in belle and sebastian. i think we have an opposition camp setting up. Anyway i can't really remember what else i was going to write about so i will just end on this note. meetup? regards Jonathan +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.
