(i had a Twin Peaks party! it was great! coffee, pie, doughnuts, weirdness!) at least i know that i'm still good at having parties, staying up late and drinking to excess... originally, my new year's resolution was to not drink (as much/often) and then i switched it to something else, which i've now forgotten. probably because of all the drinking. (haha. er.) will there be another Tigermilking or something 'indie' when i come to London? hint hint please please. i'm there from March 31 to April 20. and even if there isn't a Tigermilking, I hope there is a getting-togethering so that I might see some people again and some for the first time - yes, i'm talkin' to you. it would be nice. i might also need to sleep on your couches/floors for a night or two because the friend i'm to stay with will have a new baby and i kinda would like to give her and her husband some space if needed. *also*, my brother will be in london april 2-5! i haven't seen him in almost 2 years, so that's exciting. um, and i told him i'd ask around here if anyone would like to put up a cute, young canadian thang for a couple nights. would you? he's great. if only we weren't such *poor*, cute, young canadian thangs, we wouldn't need to ask for such help and could just have posh hotel rooms. alas... oh, and you'd have places to stay in both vancouver and montreal if you ever wanted to visit the best two cities in canada. (i can hear s.kado from here: "torontopia!" and i say: "no.") i still can't quite believe i'm headed overseas in two months - i'm all caught up in school (as usual) and things. no boyfriend anymore, but hey, it's actually for the better. i've been writing a lot about cosmetic surgery, bodybuilding and fashion. will the thesis be done by august? probably not, but i'm not too worried. i heart school. my name is robyn and i want to do a phd. eegh. ah, they just played some stereolab on the radio and i realized that i haven't listened to stereolab in a while. in fact, i haven't even noticed it on my cd shelves, my eyes apparently just pass over those *several inches of stereolab cds* every time i look for something to listen to. what is wrong? i adore stereolab. perhaps i need a better way to organize my cds? none of this silly alphabetical stuff. something better, a *system* better than the alphabet... i love systems. i need some medication. also, after the stereolab song, a guy on the radio said he worked in a cafe called 'java the hutt'. in kansas. haha. ha. puns. it's almost as good as the hair salon i saw just outside london called 'curl up and dry'. which reminds me: i haven't punned around on #sinister for some time now. must visit. ohmygod, there's a new mountain goats cd. aaah! love. so much love. i love the system that is sinister. r o b y n here is something: http://apoemabouteverything.blogspot.com (i don't know.) ===== I was reading the dictionary.

We had a Superbowl party last night at our house. There were about 15 of us. We've had one every year we've been at Uni together. It's something of a tradition, and I've no shame in sitting into the small hours watching plenty of VERY LARGE men in TIGHT LYCRA beating seven shades of shit out of one another. But last night's party was special because we had REAL LIVE AMERICANS in our presence to explain the rules to us. It was most fun, and we now understand the subtleties of the "unnecessary roughness" penalty too. It was a pretty good game, although I was rooting for the Panthers, if you want the truth. I thought they had it sewn up one stage, too, but you have to hand to that guy who kicked the 41-yard field goal for New England with 4 seconds to go; he certainly had nerves of steel. Anyway, I'm sat here listening to DCW, and I can happily say that it's really standing the test of time, in my ears at least. "...Cuckoo" is an extraordinarily good song, in my opinion. Bordering on perfect B&S? Could be. See, I recently experienced a bit of a messy break-up with my girlfriend of 9 months or so, and I haven't heard quite as good a break-up song as "...Cuckoo" since I ended the relationship less than mutually. Anyway, I just think that it's absolutely magical stuff. "Wrapped...", "Step..." and "...Loose" are also gems, for sure. But since becoming suddenly single about a week ago I've been trying to take pleasure out of the little things in life: I've been enjoying the sound of Paul O'Reilly's rather good "First Thing In The Morning" through headphones against a muffled backdrop of gently clacking keyboards. I've been compiling a list of my favourite non-musical sounds*, and I've also been noticing those wonderful, comfortable, easy silences that you enjoy in just the right company at just the right time. I also saw Lost In Translation, too, talking of the simple things. Sure, I know I'm late with a review, so I won't bother with one. I think it's a very Sinister film though - I can imagine a lot us enjoying the little moments in it. I certainly did. Heck I nearly cried at one point, but then I stopped and remembered that I'm a DOUBLE-HARD BASTARD. Another good film is American Splendour, which again I can imagine a Sinister population really digging. One thing that's far from simple though is a Justin Trousersnake concert. Carsmile may concur. I had the pleasure of attending one with my now-ex-but-then-current girlfriend about two weeks ago, and I was just absolutely bowled over. He is an ugly man, but he sure can move, and I don't think I've ever seen anything as slick and just brilliantly professional in all my life. I mean it when I say that B&S could probably take a leaf or two out of his book. Really. Anyway, I think that's about all. It's quite quiet around here at the moment, isn't it? Asm.x *the crunch of snow under foot; the clunk-roll of balls being released from a pool table; the pop of a cork coming out of a bottle; the flap-thud of letters coming through the door in the morning; the sqelch of laser on compact disc etc. ================================ "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 don't post often, since I never quite know what to say... lots of things happen each and every day in my most modest life up north in the woods (buried in snow)... though today is pretty hot, a mere -4 compared to the usual -30... the trees by my room were covered in a thin layer of ice on which sunlight reflected and thus permitted the nicest morning of my life... a soft kiss from my love by my side, sunlight, snow, and a cup of hot chocolate.... what else could a girl ask for? A day off? No! I'm on a break from politics class... which I love! This semester has started so well... love the classes, love where I am, love the boyfriend, love the friends... i must say, things are perfect... So many things to tell you about... Superbowl : not a big fan of football, but certainly a fan of chicken wings, fries, nachos, cheese sticks and a few beers... why not?? It was a blast, 15 people in my room who brought a TV, sofas and... FOOD... I did fall asleep in the middle of the last quarter and missed the exciting part... oh well... half-time I could've passed, not my thing... although it was nice to see a bit of Rythm Nation... brought back memories when my cousin and I would try to dance like Janet... whew! Snow : about 4 feet in some places here in Saguenay... As I said, not as terribly cold as usual, and trying to enjoy it as much as possible... What's nice is that we can go grocery shopping and instead of paying for a cab (for which we don't have any money anyways), we can just put everything on a sled and slide the whole thing back home... Movies : went to the "Cine-club" last night... friends practically had to drag me there since I wasn't much interested... but turns out it was a great movie, 11 short films on September 11... it was really nice seeing so many different points of view and interpretations of the same event... if you ever have a chance to see it, pay attention to the films from Burkina Faso, the USA, the UK and... oh well, they were all great... way worth 2.50$... Work : I got this job last week at the cafeteria in school... I'm enjoying the last few days where I get to work without the uniform... I don't mind about uniforms usually, but this one has this very ridiculous multicolored hat... hate multinationals for that... Work-out : can you believe I actually work out??????? I know it'll probably last a week, maybe two if I'm cured of my legendary procrastination... worst thing is I'm starting to like it... something's definitely wrong with me.... too much love? NEVER! Love : has to be the best feeling... anyway, this post is so unlike me, i.e. way too long and substantial (or not) and I'll save the good part for Valentine's... or at least I'll try to. Until then, enjoy yourselves and have fun and remember that whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger... (so you got snow in England, right?) À la prochaine!

This is the story of B&S and me. The B&S have, for a start, no connection to me and is not aware of my presence in the world. This is just the story of me, starting with me discovering B&S and up to now. But since I have somewhat read all the posts in the sinister list I have realized what the most letters is about- the people who wrote it. Is a sort of common internet diary really, and it’s time to introduce a new character into the story. Me. The first time I heard B&S was when a friend to me sent two songs, The Boy With The Arab Strap and Legal Man (yes MP3 Jail me then! Well those songs gave B&S 2*195SEK: ) Well, they ended up on my playlist, and being played two times a day for one and a half year then I started to think. Very unhealthy, but anyway. “That song was awfully good. Hmm Played by whom?” I checked out which record and read about B&S for the first time. I checked out the record, where I could buy it, and so one day- I bought it. Put it on, and was caught. It was really the first record I bought. No, I’m serious! If I wanted a record, it was usually mom and dad who bought it. But this record was mine and I loved it. Gradually I became more and more fan, bought sinister, played it till it drove me crazy. Found out that one of the bad things with B&S was that you couldn’t have it in your CD wake up player, like a wakeup bell, because it made you fall asleep again. Found Sinister. Was going to sign up for it with my real name, but panicked and used my Internet ID, Froggy. So afterwards it feels kind of silly, really, because all of you are like 45 and I am well below 18. See? There it happened again, I’m unable to tell my age to the Internet. I am grr, I can’t. Some other time maybe. I used the DCW as a treat; because I had a hard time in school with assignment’s and waited till the fist of December until I bought it. After listening it through, I can make this statement: Sinister feels like it should; sad and yeah sinister (by the way, reading Sherlock Holmes, he use sinister to the most things. Maybe it was popular then?). The Arab Strap fells like a soft morning, unable to wake up, sleepy. Well, with DCW you really have woke up, you feel like you’re walking outside a cold, sunny morning, save Lord Anthony. So then I heard (like I said in my other letter) that B&S was coming to Stockholm not just that, they will play on my birthday. It’s just that it’s was an 18 years limit. I was sad for a week and a half. It felt like a dear friend had abandoned me. It’s silly really; it’s just a band, who has never heard of me, what reason do I have to be sad? I don’t know, just that I was. Well guess what cured me? Well B&S naturally. Fist I heard them on the radio. It was the second time ever, and it made me fell kind of strange really. Its was “I’m a Chucoo Cuchoo Cuckoo” well, you get it. The first time was “You don’t send me”. Then I took the step and listen to Arab Strap. And was by the time of “A space boy dream” totally cured. “Rolercoaster ride” made me jump inside. Just that you know, B&S, you’re forgiven for putting alcoholics before me in the line! So finally I have pout the whole of my letter down, a letter which I have formed in my head during several homework’s. So here it is. Hopefully someone notice it and comments it, otherwise, I don’t think really I will Post anymore. Buuh! Froggy PS. Listen to Erykah Badu, Baduizm, its totally great. I mean-wow-.

Or does it just mean we are the home of maturity on the interweb? The last few sinister meetups I can recall suggest that the latter is far from true, actually. What a nice post by the way Froggy. So, it's 8.55am and I'm at work. But not working, yet. I felt odd and Friday-ish today, so I have dressed in my least professional outfit and I even put on MAKEUP which happens about once a year. I got lots for Christmas (thanks to Ruth of this parish for some of it) so I have to experiment really. There is stuff that you put on your eyelids that is kind of shiny, and really fat pencil things that I haven't worked out yet, and mascara and nail varnish and lip gloss which even I can manage. I have also had an unusually B&S filled morning really - listening to them on the bus on the way to work and singing along in my head to She's Losing It and Get Me Away From Here (I haven't put any new stuff on MD yet) while watching the other inhabitants of my top deck. I get very upset if I can't sit on the top deck, mostly because I need advance warning via a bird's eye view of when my stop is or I always think I'll miss it. Despite it being heralded by everyone else getting off. I also discovered the new badgies that Matt got me at the Brighton show in a box and thought I'd be extra-studenty by adorning myself and my bag with them. So that was fun. By the way (months late as usual), I think DCW is a great album. I am not too keen on Piazza New York Catcher (a player also referenced by The West Wing though, my favourite programme of recent years) and Wrapped Up in Books sounds like Cliff Richard. But other that that, rocking. Also I got Fans Only for Xmas and that is pretty fun too. I want it to be summer. Or at least spring. It hasn't been picnic season for far too long. As soon as I see even a SQUARE of sunshine on my blighted so-called garden I will rally round and have some kind of Brighton beachnic as usual. Though as I am effectively an old married woman now I can't promise the debauchery of old... I have to go back to labelling videos now. I swear to god, as soon as I get my MA I'm out of this bloody job faster than a sneeze. I spent yesterday afternoon wrestling with an antiquated German comb-binding machine and I think it won. Grrr. Well, I've enjoyed putting my head over the parapet. Be good, Tanyas. And the rest of you. love Archel xxx PS. I am rubbish at the I'm A Cuckoo game. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Gosh, it's been a while. Hope you've been keeping well and all that. Nice to see some new faces round here. There's been an enjoyable few months of B&S related funning lately. DICKYWUSS has been making me jolly happy since last year. There was a terrific moment of joy and, well, relief after I pressed play for the first time and lovely music that made me smile came out of my aged and knackered CD player. This didn't happen quite as much with FISHYFLAPS, despite the CD player being nowhere near as aged or knackered. It's pretty much died altogether now and I can't afford a new one so the pooter is now handling the lovely music-playing duties. It does this ok despite Windows Media Player thinking that all your music is, in fact, 60s psychedelia and displaying swirly colours and 2001 star gate effects all the time. I was at one of the Astoria gigs in December but failed to Report Back. This was mostly due to me performing my usual trick at B&S gigs of being too drunk to remember many details. This is still the case. The karaoke, I recall, was grate and tha bomb. Especially the lady what did Heart of Glass. Because I'd been very very good all last year, Santa brought me a copy of Fans Only. This is very T!O!P!N!O!T!C!H as it means I can watch the LLPJ video without having to stream it into a teeny weeny window via dialup. I still have to watch it on the pooter though as I don't have a DVD player. But look! There's the fresh-faced mid 90s B&S! There's Struan in a variety of tight t-shirts! The crazy Brazilian chat show host! Sarah putting up some shelves! Norman Blake! On my pooter! Yay! I got an email today saying that the Pixies are playing Brixton Academy in June. Cor! Big Frank and Auntie Kim on the same stage again. I think the Red Bull Dozers should try and get a support slot - they do a fantastic cover of Gigantic. Hope this rain stops soon so we can all have a picnic but there's always TIGERMILKING in the meantime. http://www.undermybed.org/tigermilking Robster ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

I mean really: I can’t separate between past and present, not even in one word. My added comment was right what a goofy post. I sounded good in my head though. Yeah, I make up stories and things in my head which sound really great but when they end up printed they just sound Silly, or rather nerdish. Well it doesn’t matter really, because you will probably never see me. The chance is like 1000/9 000 000 000. Look – isn’t that nerdish or what? Or should I use geeks? Well that is probably a description of me if you ask one of the like thousand people in my school that don’t know me. Not that it’s hard to get laboured as a nerd – just be smarter than the cool people, which is not very hard. Oh, there are cool people everywhere. Like revenge us, my friends and me, call them snobs and joke about they’re expensive jackets and sweaters and about they way they talk. Snob is another quite interesting thing really. The thing no one is, or at least very few. If you ask the snobbiest person you could imagine the person probably will deny it and point out another person that is much more snob than him. Either that or he will say with a proud tone that he is a true snob. Or she. Girls are much as snobs as boys, really. Or more. Here the snow is beginning to disappear, making place for grey, rainy sad days. It soon will be Valentine’s Day. Yehoo! Another time for the world to prove that there is not a non-family girl who likes me. This time it’s even worse. They’re going to sell flowers which you give to a person that you like, and its will be very noticeable whom nobody like. How extraordinary fun. That’s why some of the Belle and Sebastian way of living is so healthy, knowing that you are not alone being a simple quiet boy. Oh, now you know that as well, but I think you have guessed it already. But really, no. Belle and Sebastian is not the quiet boy type. More like were-older-than-we-like-to-think-but-have-fun-anyway type. Why does nobody notice ordinary boys? Why is there none, or at least so few fair songs about us? Well, I guess the answer is that were not exiting. Living an ordinary, sadly loveless life doesn’t make a text, does it? “It was a simple calm boy, who never done a ting at all exiting---- The love life stood still” How’s that for a line? Huh? Well at least they’re good for the ears. Belle and Sebastian that is. Like honey for a sore throat As speaking above of thinking letters in the head- I have been carrying a vision of a T-shirt in my head. Do you like to hear? Well you don’t really have a choice do you? It’s like a black background and then it says with green letters, circling up to the half of the T-shirt “The Boy With The Arab Strap” with flourish letters and below, in smaller letters “The text on the T-Shirt does not refer to the person wearing it, by the way”. How’s that, huh? Oh, now I’m going for some tea. See you, or rather we won't se each other. Well have good time anyway. Froggy PS. Did I say anything about Erykah Badu? I DID mean it. [Reading through this post, my first seems almost good. What a jolly world] _________________________________________________________________ Lättare att hitta drömresan med MSN Resor http://www.msn.se/resor/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

So, we�ve had NO REPORTING BACK from Japan. I know some of you guys went � please tell the rest of us about it. Do any of you know anything about a Welsh band called Melys? They�re from a beautiful spot in Snowdonia, Bets-y-Coed (sp?) where I used to go kayaking and hiking. John Peel played one of their songs Eyeliner on his BBC world service show a couple of weeks ago. He didn�t have much info. but I reckon someone in the Sinister fold may be able to shed some light. I would really appreciate it. So, onto my news� I didn�t manage to make time to write this before going off on my Eid holiday � ah well. Well it�s my fourth month in Bangladesh and I'm still doing new things (this will probably continue for all of my time here) so I thought I would share some of them with you. IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE WOODS TODAY�. For organisations based in cities it�s traditional in winter (yes it�s been cold here for the last month or so � requiring fleecy jackets shawls and hats etc.) to go to more rural areas on staff picnics! DSK�s picnic took us to Sonargoan (the old Mughal capital of Bengal) for a day of fun and frolics. You�re never too old for games in Bangladesh, whilst also used in training sessions they are a major part of a picnic. Some similarities with things back at home that you might be interested in. Over the past four months I have played LOTS of pass the parcel style games with people of all ages � this appears to be Bangladeshis favourite group game. Pin the tail on the donkey translates to pin the bindi (red spot worn on forehead for those of you that don�t know) on the poster of a lady and so on. Depending on what type of group you get you can get mixed games for both sexes and for all ages. However, at the picnic the groups were separated � there wasn�t even any culturally unacceptable issues like different sexes touching or anything. It was one of those occasions when I felt I should be quiet about my surprise. I love games and was fully prepared to join in. However, when it seemed that everybody at the picnic (more than 50 people) were starting to get up and do a little turn I inwardly cringed as I had forgotten one of the many pieces of advice I was given by a fellow volunteer when I first arrived � Have a song you�re prepared to perform in Bangla � you never know when you might need it. Translating sing-a-long songs like green bottles seems to go down well but I'm going to try to memorise a traditional song ready if there�s ever another time. Winging it in a foreign language is not so easy. People seemed happy enough with my attempt though. I've just realised that my first update was so jam packed that I let details of my first Sonargoan trip slip through the net. We viewed a lot of the ancient buildings and statues, which were truly magnificent! I still need to go back there when the folk arts museum and craft centre are open. A CERTAIN LIBERATION This is the title of a film I went to see at the Dhaka International film festival, which moved me in a major way. It was a documentary about an old lady with a very large personality. She would go through the bazaars in Khulna (not the �done thing� for Bangladeshi women) smacking police chiefs� arses (and everybody else�s for that matter) with a cane, raiding pockets for money as her livelihood. As the story progressed you got more of a feel for how the people in the area loved her dearly � calling her Bangla ma (mother of Bangladesh). Her story is very sad. During the Bangladeshi liberation war in 71� her husband and children (including a baby only a few months old) were killed in front of her. It alludes that she was taken away by collaborators and repeatedly raped. Many younger women that are interviewed during the documentary were jealous of her freedom to roam as she pleased. The take-home point I got from the film was although she was liberated enough to wander around markets as a lone women, this was nothing in comparison to the mental torment of grief she faces, she will never be free of that for as long as she lives. The first museum I went to (again missed out of my Oct update) in Bangladesh was devoted to the Liberation War. Remembering this visit showed that the lady documented is one of many who suffered such atrocities during the fight for independence. It all evokes so many emotions in me and I'm a bideshi (foreigner). Bye for now. I�ll give you the low-down of celebrating my first Eid-Ul-Azha in full-on Bangladeshi style (amongst other things) next time� �Amy _________________________________________________________________ Find a cheaper internet access deal - choose one to suit you. http://www.msn.co.uk/internetaccess +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

It was about one week ago, right know. I was just standing, by the wall, because all the sits and space on the couch were taken already. The bar was too crowded and had two bottles in my hands anyway. well one in the pocket of my jacket. I found it odd they were giving you two bottles when you asked for only one, but it was cheaper. apparently. i didn't investigate the matter by any means. Anyway I was there. downstairs, the other room was too crowded and the music were rubbish. I was standing almost in the corner but not quite right in the corner. just trying to avoid the door to slam over my face when another costumer would decide to get there with a little bit too much of an effort. I was just drinking my beer and recovering from the most physical, not to mention, delightful concert I have seen for ages (mclusky, by the way, shall i raccomed them?)... when I've been first asked if I were in franz ferdinand.. gosh, unfortunately not. which i was because they are brilliant, but no, I'm just wearing a corduroy jacket, nothing more, and possibly drinking my two drinks at a time.

This is NOT list abuse, oh no. If you think right about now "F**k Astrid's band!" then move down a wee bit or change the mail you're reading. SO. Kit had to go from kit to kat. There was a The Kit. From Sweden. We like Kat too. It was the K and the T that was important. Not that we'll be able to get over how much we loved Kit and how it was probably some horrible crap band that took our name. Argh. Well, ok, they've probably had it for a while. But still. We were so happy... So Kat it is. Our demo called Rollerskating Fool is being recorded, but still only one song finished, we'll probably take the holiday in week 9 to finish it up... Anyways... what I wanted to see was to take a little survey here to see how many people were actually interested in getting one? It would work so that you'd send me an empty CD, I'd burn the demo and put in the sort-of-inlay-card and send it back. i think that's the best way, but if anyone else knows how to do that stuff give us advice! E-mails for us as Kat + interest in demo (I guess): noo_yak at rock.com noo yak is the phonetic way for our favourite way of saying new york, buy the way. A bit like Jesse Malin. Other things: -During my time in the computer room, I got sent a Westlife Valentine's card with music blurting out and Shane (apparently) looking at me with dreamy eyes. I was not sure how to react. So I laughed. -Froggy is my new best Swedish sinisteree! Not that I had any before... but still. A very nice young man! -Anders: a letter is on its way. I am horrible. I am sorry. x -I only had class for 50 minutes today, so I've been free to go since 9:30, and yet I am here. I just know that I can't go home yet, I'll be bored before the Days of Our Lives is on. -I went to our city library (or what the hell it's called - public library I guess), the big one in Stockholm yesterday. I'd never been there before, strangely, seeing as I love reading so much, but I went there and thought I had died and come to heaven, it was gorgeous and beautiful, not because of the books or the fact that there were cute student indie boys everywhere, but the architecture! I knew it was beautiful but it was just so stunning! I am smitten. I'm going back today to see what their cd section is like. Valentine's is a-comin'. As ever: I hate Valentine's Day. I hate not getting roses. You can send then anonymously in school, you see. Argh. Oh well. It's just the price you have to pay for being in a small school and being considered a big "weird" and "having my own style" for wearing Chuck Taylor's and home-made t-shirts. Sigh.

You are 35. No really, I just said so to be mean, because nobody older than 25 wants to be older. So this was sort of my unfair revenge. And also, my name is Johan. Look I made it! Me: “My name is Johan and I’m scared of the internet” All: “Hi Johan” Well not anymore. /I think I need a cup of tea, the world keeps burning/ It’s a grey version of Stockholm unfolding for my eyes as the darkness flies from my side of the earth. Well that’s really a poetic lie since the sun rises much earlier. It’s hard to believe that was this morning (is it meaningful to save anything with only one line in it?). Now the big darkness has won the battle of our side of the world. Or something. Have you ever been though the experience of meeting someone you really get mad about in school of work after school or work or what ever place you see the person, and the person is nice to you, like an ordinary human being. Well my conclusion is that is all about masks. Masks that we wear to fit in. I notice it very clearly, walking home from school after a hard day being angry for some reason, but when I pass a special point it’s just like some one pressed a switch and I start whistling and smiling at that father with his baby. This is also an example of a chance of masks. From the angry school mask to a happy home one. I do think that everybody have this personality disorder in bigger or lesser form. Another may say it’s just a way to fit in with people’s moods, but I want to take it longer than that. You see, if I walk by school a Sunday I can get in the same angry mood as usual when I am in school, even when I walk alone (sounds like a song title, “I walk alone”, and I guess It probably is). And maybe that’s the reason for every one in school are so not-nice, because everybody wears their angry mask, and you notice this and get angrier, and so on. But what the hell has this to do with B&S or the list? The latter that is. Because it would not be true if I said that the way I write like the way I am with my friends. It took a while before I posted, or to say so, I had made me a Sinister mask. Well it’s rather natural, this is not the way I am really; this is they way I am when I write, modified with the Sinister mask. Well, this way of seeing life has a somewhat scary backside. If I always wear a mask, when I am myself? The answer is just as scary. Never. Maybe in thoughts. Do you think the same, no matter with who you are or where you are? Hard. Well, it has another connection to Sinister too. I don’t really know you. Even thou I read some of your most intimate thoughts I don’t really know you. It’s a strange situation, really. Knowing somebody very much but not at all. A well, I think that’s enough for today, I will write more tomorrow morning. Oh, I didn’t. I don’t remember why, just that I did not do it. It has now been like two days and it has been two intensive days. Yesterday I actually went skiing, downhill. Even if I had not fallen and landed on my arm, I’d probably been tired and stiff. And I am. I had a math test today. It’s not fair really. I get five hours of sleep, ski all day and the next day is a math test. Strangely I think I did fairly well. This week and the next one are going to be hard. Spanish test on Friday and the Friday after is the deadline of another big project and I have not written as much as I would have wanted. And that’s why you might be reading this on like Friday. And now I can not write anymore, I’m too tired. I’ll make it up to you in the weekend. Reading through my post I agreed with myself that I must confess. The whole mask thing was just a sneaky way of presenting one of my own philosophical thoughts. I placed it here on test, since I don’t really have a place to put it. So you became the victim of my thoughts. Hope you didn’t mind. It took nearly a week to finish this letter. And therefore it’s a shattered one, without any real point or meaning. By the way, I must thank Astrid for the appreciation of my post. I hope it don’t get to my head. Well, I never needed anyone to get around the track, but Oh, sorry. Also, I must confess; I haven’t bought Tigermilk yet. I plan to do so tomorrow. If you’re feeling sinister is now my favourite. But oh, The Boy With The Arab Strap, I could have been a brilliant career – the first ten second of it makes me freeze and just melt down, down with all my troubles. By the way, car stereos are not built for playing B&S. In A space boy dream, you heard only the dark drums. I didn’t know there where any before I heard it in a car. It took about thirty seconds before I fixed the stereo, and now it sounds at least ok. This week has been the hardest for a long time. I have been unable, because of that stupid school, to post during the week. I plan to make it up during the upcoming vacation, the week after this one coming up. Ah, well, I think it’s time to finish this letter. If you did not like this, I blame my busy week. I really can do better than this. For the first time Yours Johan ( I have digest, it takes a while before I see your posts. Maby I should change?) _________________________________________________________________ Hitta rätt på nätet med MSN Sök http://search.msn.se/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I know I haven't written much but I was inspired last night after attending The Shins show with the man who is currently making me a roast and my friend Richard. Off topic, I danced a bit too feverishly last night in bad shoes and made an ingrowing toenail much worse to the point where if I touch anything to it the slightest I involuntarily scream. I've begun to having waking nightmare about toenail removal and the aftermath. I digress, I had finally gotten the "Fans Only" DVD and was moved to tears many times in the 2 plus hours, and laughter once when the man (who is making me a roast, still, in the kitchen) says "How is having Trevor Horn producing your latest album not "Londoning Up""? Well well, they did have lovely coverage of bits of the Coachella festival, didn't they? So my friend Richard starts talking about The Cure last night after the show (which he is apt to do, often) and mentioned Coachella, and I brigtened thinking of my American Ailines frequent flyer miles and asked us all to put our hands in to further explore the Coachella options. We've called friends in L.A. who will join (and drive!) and it seems as if we are halfway there, now only until next paycheck do the tickets need to stay available as I am very very broke (and will be again after I purchase a two day pass). It's really lovely because I didn't think I'd get to see Belle and Sebastian again this year and little things like listening and watching footage of the band really remind me of how dear they are to me. Truly my "favorite band of all time, in the whole world" a title which was ironically once bestowed upon The Pixies 12 years ago when I saw them at the Cameo theater in Miami who are now (The Pixies) getting billing over B&S (even if it is on a different day) to which I say bah!, you can't go away for that long and then get 2nd billing at a huge monstrous festival!, but apparently they can. I'm very excited and very hungry, and glad I can share my enthusiasm (and terrible grammar) with the wall of sinisterites out there. Ciao, Lesley __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Message-ID: Sinister darling, I've been neglecting you. Let me make amends. You see on Halloween I met an old woman in a pointy hat. She stood in front of me in the queue at Tesco, where the conveyor belts are the fastest in the land, and though she only had tins of cat food on the belt they were flying off quicker than she could pack them. So I lent a hand. She said "Thank you young man" and added something about "such good manners" then grabbed the bags and dashed out of the store. I turned back to the landslide of cheese heading down the conveyor towards me and the impatient glare of the checkout assistant. November the 5th, Bonfire Night, and I was back at Tesco again. I'd bought a box of fireworks to throw at the kids next door, and was just parking my trolley when the same old woman strode up to me holding a feather duster. Now, the last time a woman strode up to me holding a feather duster was a time I would sooner forget, and she must have seen me begin to back away, for she held the duster in the air and shouted "Stop!". I tried to run, but my feet were strangely stuck to the floor. "I am a witch!" she announced, somewhat unsurprisingly, "and if it wasn't for your help with the cat food on Halloween, I'd have been late for the Welsh Witches' Coven and Bingo. I'd have missed the speech by the Witch with the Tallest Hat and if I had there'd have been hell to pay. Hell charges a lot these days, you know, so you really saved my bacon. In return, I'm going to bestow on you a wish. Anything you want can come true! How about that, eh?" "Alright then," I said, "just after I've got this chewing gum off my shoes; it's making them all sticky. Bloody townies." There's a snowman who we have on our Christmas tree every year, which is made from cardboard and cotton wool. If you ask my sister who made it she'll say that she did, but she's a stinkin' liar. I made it when I was four and at playschool, and I like to think that its jaunty pipe and devillish grin are signs of the creative genius that was yet to come. Of course, don't tell this to my sister or she'll bang your head on the wood-effect electric fire like she did to me in 1986. It's a tradition that every Christmas day she and I will have an argument about Who Made the Snowman. It wouldn't be such an issue if it wasn't for the fact that the snowman on the tree is the only thing approaching snow that comes anywhere near Kidderminster during Christmastime. A week before Christmas Day, Katta was telling me stories of her snowmobile and delivering papers on crisp white Swedish mornings. I knew now what my first wish was going to be. I fished the witch's calling-card from my wallet and rang the number. "Frobisher's Fancy Dress," she said, "how may I help?" "Wilomena?" I said, "It's Robin. I've decided what my wish is going to be." "Oh, thank goodness it's you," she said, "Some young scallywags have broken in and stolen all our Father Christmas costumes, and I've just been having an awful ear-bending from the head of the local PTA, who was going to be Santa at the Christmas fete. I was going to call up the real Santa to fill in - he's always at a bit of a loose end in the week before the big day - but with manners like that I've got a good mind to go round to the school and kick him right in the grotto." I felt she was getting a little sidetracked. "So, about my wish," I said. "What I really wish is that it would snow this year. That it would snow more than it's ever snowed before." "Snow?" she said, and I'm sure I heard her sniff, "that's a bit unoriginal, isn't it?" But I could already hear the feather duster swishing its magic spell in the air, and with a "Snow it is then!!" the phone went dead. And it snowed. It certainly did. It snowed and snowed and snowed. It didn't stop. It snowed more than I've ever seen before. It snowed all day and all night, but only on one street, my street: the snowiest street in the West Midlands. In the morning I drew back the curtains and everything was white. "Crikey Mum, look at all this snow!" I said, running into the kitchen. Mum didn't seem all that pleased. "Wow!" I said, "Everything's white! It's almost as if the whole house was covered in snow!" My dad came into the room, wearing an Arran sweater and a look of doom. "It *is* covered in snow," he said. "We won't get out of here for weeks!" "Oh well," I said, as my sister came downstairs looking confused, "at least that snowman I made won't be the only one we'll see this year." "That snowman YOU made??!" shouted my sister, picking up a frying pan. It's a wonder what food they can put in tins these days. We wouldn't have survived at all if it wasn't for all the tins my dad had bought in 1999, in case all the computers went barmy on millenium night and tried to take over the world. For Christmas Day we had tinned sprouts, tinned potatoes, tinned turkey and tinned mince pies. You'd hardly know we were buried under a hundred foot of snow. For New Year's Day we had tinned cheese and tinned biscuits. But despite this delicious food we were all glad when the snow finally began to thaw, and we could see the trees and sky again. The phone line had been down the whole time we were under the snow, and the telly hadn't worked either, although Grandad had switched it on every evening and said "It's still snowing!" So I hadn't had a chance to speak to Wilomena the Witch to tell her what had gone wrong. "Well you asked for it!" she said when I finally did. "I tell you what. To make up for the, um, inconvenience, I'll give you another wish. A replacement, if you like, for the one that got broken." "Thanks," I said. "Now be careful what you wish for." "I will," I said, but I already had a good idea. The next day was my birthday, and the week after that the new Belle and Sebastian single, "I'm a Cuckoo" would be out. "A wonderful birthday present," I said, "Would be if I could have the 'I'm a Cuckoo' single on my birthday, before everyone else." "Eh?" she said "I'm sorry, the line's a bit bad" "'I'm a Cuckoo'," I said, "for my birthday." "Well, at least it's original," she said, somewhat dubiously, then hung up. The next morning I awoke with a strange craving for worms. I hopped out of bed and blinked in the mirror. I was four inches high and covered in feathers. I was a cuckoo! You wouldn't believe the trouble I had getting past her fat cat Clarence and convincing Wilomena that I wasn't just any old bird, but Robin J Stout, and I demanded, or rather twittered, to be turned back into a curly-haired young man right away! She finally did, of course, which is how I'm typing here tonight, but it took a while to convince her. So that's why I haven't posted anything for such a long time. I just thought you might like to know. +++++++++++++++++++ Belle and Sebastian were on the radio tonight. I can't have been paying enough attention to the email that Banchory sent, because I was expecting to hear the new single, but instead I heard a whole new song altogether. It was called "Your Secrets", was sung by Stuart, was absolutely delicious and went something like this: Your Secrets ============ Step out of your cradle, it's like coming down I just heard somebody tell me I was introspective to a fault. I'll be a doozer if I can, But I will contented be right now, If I could keep our secrets. You could tell me all your secrets, All you want to do is run and hide. You'll keep it inside. If you tell me all your secrets, All you have to do is let it ride, And keep it inside. But if it's as it seems, and I keep having dreams, About the two of us, Then it's obvious. You should stop treating me like I was just a child. You should stop treating me like was just as wild as you. Instrumental Step out of your cradle, it's like coming down, I just heard somebody tell me I was introspective to a fault. I'll be a doozer if I can, But I will contented be right now, For us to keep our secrets. We could get a little closer, The mystery you're trying to preserve, you're going to need in reserve. We could get a little closer Cos intimacy has a greater charm And it would do no harm, To give a little way, A la la la la la..* You could even bring me your poetry.. If you could stop treating me like I was just a child. Stop treating me like I was just as wild as you. Stop treating me like I was just a child. Just a child.. Just a child.. Just a child.. Just a child.. Just a child... ++++++++++++++++++++ Bye bye, Robin xxx * I couldn't work out this line. It sounded like "A piece of Howard's Way", but that can't possibly be right. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with cool emoticons - download MSN Messenger today! http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

All I can say is, don't ever give up on what you believe in, especially true love. Because I thought it was all illusions and no fun except if you work very very very very hard at it... turns out I had stopped expecting anything from love, and now this year, Valentine's day coincided with a 6-month aniversary... wooo! I know it may not seem like much, but to me it IS a big deal and I just wanted to say that there IS always hope and I can't stop putting caps on IS because I like to put too much emphasis on the most useless things... So there we go. I'd like to start a chronicle on useless or very small things that people put too much emphasis on... Useless things to put emphasis on (whether good or bad) for today : - The missing blind on my window - Having someone make you Lipton soup when sick - Having a friend who can't tie shoelaces (made my day) Whoah, that felt great. Now. I can't seem to be able to post something, as I've mentioned before, substantial and meaningful... I guess that's just the way my mind works... funny, I live with the Lipton soup guy (whom I love a lot and who apparently (that's what he says) loves me a lot too which makes it nice) and he keeps making fun of me for being such a chaotic person and being constantly contradictional and impossible to follow and to make sense of... which makes me say to Froggy, or Johan, whichever you like best, I like you telling everyone about your philosophical theories... and about masks, I'd like to say that I don't have any, or have too many, I can't say... All I know is, people DO act differently according to whoever they are with, simply, and that's my very own theory, because each person shares different interests with different groups of people... Olivier (that's Lipton Soup Man), who simply couldn't live without a very big daily dose of music, just like me, and I are worlds apart in musical appreciations and taste. For example : he made me find some interest in Nine Inch Nails (get the point?) and I got him soooo into Sigur Ros... (still working on the B&S issue, though!) But it wouldn't be the same with some other people I know and I would definitely act differently because I share different interests with them, which may be seen as wearing a different mask. (that wasn't too clear, was it? anyway, makes sense to me) Oh and I did watch The Mask for the 400th time last night... The Cuban Pete scene has to get Jim Carrey on Hollywood Blvd... it HAS to. I haven't seen any comments on the DCW game on the B&S site... I've had a lot of fun with it... And I'm going back for one more game... whooppee! See you all, and sorry again for being so ununderstandable Emmash And Happy Easter if I ever forget my password again. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger : discutez en direct avec vos amis ! http://messenger.fr.msn.ca/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I am tired as hell and not turning in a v. important essay today because I simply am lazy as hell and now it's too late to get it in on time, hence today's more, well, sinister, tone. However, I shalt not mope for long, because I had a lovely weekend. Usually, I hate Valentine's Day because it means facing up to the fact that no one wants to buy me stupid heart-shaped things or give me a card. First of all, I got lots of heart-shaped sweets from my mum, which made me happy (and a feeling of illness because I ate too many, as usual). On Friday, me and Amanda were discussing what we should do on Valentine's so that we wouldn't be depressed. At first, we were thinking about going to this shopping thingy at this posh mall, it was some sort of interactive exhibition of trading clothes, but then we realized that Adam Green out of the ever so wonderful Moldy Peaches was in town, so we went to the good ol' club Debaser, where we have as of today gotten in once (Spearmint) and hung around for two soundchecks (Interpol and Jesse Malin) so it felt like we were back on old grounds. Unfortunately, the guy who was in charge that day was a total tosser and was SO rude and his whole attitude was a bit like "I'm in charge and I wear a stupid beanie and I work out and I probably use self-tanning lotion as well and I will DENY you access because I'm a tosser and there's nothing you can do about it now, nothing you can do about it later and there never will be.... mohaha!". Then we went round to the tourbus, which always makes you feel stupid because you know that maybe someone is in there watching you while you are standing there jumping up and down because you are cold. But when we did, who shall emerge from it than Adam Green, and of course we were so dumbfound we only almost-talked; you know when you stand there, mouth slightly ajar, almost talking so you look really weird. Then we started giggling. Adam looked at us, mouth open. We thought he decided to hate us from that moment or something, later, we found that he does a lot of staring out in space with his mouth open. So we waited. And he came back. And I tried to get his attention when he looked at me from maybe five metres away, and I raised my hand. Then I had his attention, so I waved. And he waved back nervously. Then,I realized I was looking like a complete idiot so I waved him over, and then we could do what we came there to do: say, "Hey! You're great, and here is our demo and by the way we made you this Valentine's day card", and he looked at us with big eyes and mouth ajar again (we still didn't get that it was his expression of "I'm listening") but then he said that we should wait, he went into the club and when he came back, he said "Well, how about you come on the tourbus and I'll play you guys a couple of songs, ok?". And so, he did. it was SO brilliant! He played on my request his cover of The Libertine's what a waster. I was wearing my homemade Libertines t-shirt and he started laughing when he saw the t-shirt during the song. He was such a lovely guy. Then he played us a new song he had penned about one month ago which was terrific, and then he played the sweet song Bluebirds, and after that, on my request, Mozzarella Swastikas (Not sure about that name). At the time I only knew that i'd heard it on the radio and that it was splendid, so when I heard the lyrics where he sang about getting head under a rainbow over and over and over again for ages, it was hard not to start giggle. He was sweet as hell, though, and he really liked our name Kat. At first, he gave us The Look (open mouth, v. big eyes) and I said "Er, it's not the best band name in.." and then he cut me off by saying "It's cute. Kat." so I guess we have his blessing. Then, we took a polaroid photo of the three of us sitting in one of the wee sofas in that tiny space on the bus, taken by sweetheart bandmate Nate. We did this really stupid pose that Adam wanted the three of us to do. the photo got a bit messed up because it got bent a bit before it was properly developed (or that's my guess at least), but it's a cute photo none the less. Oh what a nice day it was! Then we said adieu and he blew us a kiss before he disappeared into the club. AH. Also, Jeffrey Lewis, who is on my mixtape from Gràinne, was in his band but we only found out afterwards. And the weird thing was, i was thinking about asking him if he knew him, because they are quite similar. But anyways. It made us feel great, and we thought, hell, if we can spend time with Adam Green, we can do anything. I know that if I'd read my posts on Sinister and not be me, I'd think "Is she a groupie/hang-around or WHAT?" but really, I'm not. It's just.... ah, how should I explain it. Meeting the people I admire makes me feel as if there really is hope for me. It gives me hopes for the future, somehow. I know it sound odd, and it's not as if I'm trying to take part of their fame, I just like the feeling of knowing that they're people just as everyone else. Because I'm "just as everyone else" and I make music and hopefully I might be able to go SOMEWHERE with it at least, be it local youth club or the USA or Great Britain or someplace else I want to study in. And on that optimistic note, I shalt leave thou, sinister. Less sinister post than I thought. Mood turned around. Also. Johan/Froggy amazes me. I was NOT as cool when I was 14. I'm not sure I'm as cool NOW. So keep posting. Oh, and Kat is recording in the middle of April, sorry about the delay, but something came up for Pelle, Amanda's dad (and the producer and owner of the studio). Since we record for free, we have to wait until there really is TIME. Which is now April. Thinking how lucky we are, though, makes it less hard to wait. Also, again, Miami-tips anyone? I'm going in April and me and Amanda are on the look-out for anything nice there. Well, apart from clubs and stuff, because we wouldn't be able to get in anyways. But cafés, good places to shop, nice, er, parks, or something, just things in general. Now, I'm off to interview some teachers for my Organisation & Leadership class about motivation. I really do not feel up to it, but I must persevere. Love Astrid x P.S. I have NO idea if I just used the word persevere correctly. I would use it as in enduring something, but what the hell. I'll take a chance. I'm feelin' wild and crazy. P.P.S. Did anyone else see Joel Shearer/Pedestrian when he performed as a support act for Damien Rice on his last European tour? He was amazing, and today I had gotten an e-mail from him, ah. How could I feel bad?

Is it really just me and David Moore? Now that no one else is bothered anymore, it's beginning to feel like I'm part of a secret society again, banging my tuning fork on the tabletop and hearing sounds no one else can hear. Tonight on XFM they played session versions of Step Into My Office, Stay Loose and I'm a Cuckoo. Stay Loose was notable because Stuart sang it in his normal voice, instead of letting RoboStuart take over, and it sounded a lot more like a "normal" belle and sebastian song. I'm a Cuckoo was a treat. Better than the album version I'd say. Low key, laid back and lovely. The presenter kept talking about I'm a Cuckoo charting somewhere in the Top Twenty this week, which should mean another Top Of The Pops appearance for the rascals. I hope so. Luckily there are still reasons to buy their singles even if you have the album. I'm buying it for Stop, Look and Listen, which was on Radio Two last night and reminded me of the Beatles somehow. You should buy it too. You know, I remember the days when I could pick up radio stations magically through an aerial and the vibrating ether. Now it seems I have to screw a pipe into a wall.

Stuart begins by trying to sing like on the record, but sounds more like a malfunctioning cockney dalek, so slowly over the course of the song he just seems to give up and starts singing normally. Honestly, though, the beginning was quite terrifying. I was about to bar the windows and look up Dr Who in the Yellow Pages before I realised what was going on. +++ In the work canteen just now, I strangely had the feeling that I was back at school, except all the kids were dressed up in very authentic adult costumes. Which is true in a way, I suppose. You never really stop to think about it, though, unless you're queueing for a Chicken Tikka sandwich. Gosh it was tasty! mmmmmmmmm! +++ I share an office with a very strange man. I might have told you about him before. He's an odd-un alright. For the last 10 minutes he's been sitting at his desk sort of staring and NOT MOVING. Not even to breathe or scratch his willy. I am worried he might have broken, or worse, DIED!! Heavens!! If I had a big stick I would poke him*, but we're not allowed big sticks. Damn the modern office environment and your fascist Health and Safety regulations!!

I hadn't accidentally erased the session the morning after I taped it (Radio 2). Although I do agree with you that lately (or maybe it's been always) this list has become less of a Belle & Sebastian community and more of a personal diary forum. I would have thought new songs, radio sessions would have sparked much opinion here, or even offers for trading, but after posting a few requests here in the past it seems those sort of messages get lost in cyberspace. So, some of us are still bothered, still very bothered about their favourite band, but due to situations and life in general, the opportunities to get enthusiastic about things you cannot hear and not many folk seem willing to share are becoming fewer. And by the way - please don't anyone tell me about some crappy streaming online version of the sessions - the radio stations don't seriously expect those to be listenable. They are just there to remind you that you should have been listening in the first place.

They are just there to remind you that you should have been listening in the first place! 2) I wish they were broadcast over the good old traditional airwaves like god intended, but apparently that's not possible in the part of the world where I live.

They were not written for me but were written as they meant to talk to me. And I could understand or find that special something which made me love them nearly to bits.

Check. Virgin? Check. Radio 2? Check. HOUSE! Message-ID: Anyway, onto other matters. I bought I'm a cuckoo. Like the sort of person I am I didn't go into my local independent record retailer to buy it (actually, they "don't do singles") i went to a nasty large Woolworths who claim to do singles. And there it was, in with a bullet at number 18. Having said that they seem to think that Franz Ferdinand's album is at 25 so this may not be utterly accurate. So I took the case to the counter where they had to find the CD. (Woolies clearly suffer from a lot of shoplifting). 5 minutes passed as 2 of their employees searched in vain for it in their little filing system. "oh well" I thought, "they must have sold out". Then the manager came past and said "maybe it's under 'S'". I laughed to myslef thinking no-one would file Belle AND Sebastian under 'S' as the clue is in the AND. ie would they do the same for Simon AND garfunkle, Chas AND Dave, Rigby AND Peller (not that they stock clarsy underwear)- I think not. But yes, there it was. Under 'S'. The things I do to keep Struan's bank balance healthy... The version of Travelling Light is interesting cos I got a promo of DCW which had it on there and the squelchy synthy keyboard noise isn't there. Stop Look Listen provides ground for a plethora of plagarism suits from Messers Lennon's estate, Mr Mccartney, Mr Garfunkle AND mr Simon, the Shadows and probably Brian Wilson. But it's so lovely that any High Court judge would have to throw the action out. I also like the radomness of the Avalanches. You got to hand it to them for using the Southern Sudanese Orchestra. At first I thought they were chanting the little bit of nonsense which appears as a footer under every Sinister mail. One last thing- I read an interview with Richard X in a magazine, the title of which escapes me, might have been the XFM one. He was asked something about future collaborations and he said he'd just been approached by a "famous scottish indie band" to do something. The interviewer asked if it was B&S and he refused to confirm or deny. so there you have it- Richard X will possibly be fusing The Boy with The Arab Strap to Voodoo Ray and Girls On Film in a mash-up bootleg style soon. p a u l _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with cool new emoticons http://www.msn.co.uk/specials/myemo +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

('Ooh Las Vegas'). I do like 'Stop, Look & Listen', especially the session version, but I think I find 'Your Secrets' more interesting. Pernickety old me finds the clavinet effect on the single version of SLL irritating, in contrast to the xlyophone on 'Passion Fruit' which is bonkers, cute & charming. Who's going to be the first to say that The Avalanches' 'I'm A Cuckoo' reminds them of something? :) * sorry to anyone who has heard me say this before.

Is that exactly the kind of response you were hoping for, Dave? I have now seen my first ever B&S video. I'm pretty speechless really.It features three-in-the-bed dog sex. Mind you, there was a thing in the paper today abot a vicar near Chelmsford who put a nude photo of himself on the Internet. It's the proximity to Chelmsford that I find shocking. I'm in the Beatles camp over SLL. Cheers, Peter PS: Shortly I will be living just up the road from WeightWatchers head office in leafy Maidenhead.

One day, they even put on some Seventies Who! And of course, that made me think of Keith. He has been known to like the Seventies Who. So it was funny that I then saw Keith on Saturday night! He was at the Winchester Club, as were lots of people from around these parts. In fact, it was a bit of an international gathering of Sinister Past and Present. First of all, Chrys Lynyrd took the stage. He seemed a bit nervous, but then he put on a full wizard's costume (hat and frock with silvery bits on it plus a wig and beard) and that made it alright. He did a very nice instrumental of Slow Graffiti and also a song about Keith called Everyone I Meet Knows Keith because everyone Chrys Lynyrd meets knows Keith. His backing band for that song were the Dudley Corporation and they were also the headliners that night. The nicest man in the world plays their drums. His name is Joss. The Dudley Corporation were very good and sometimes very loud. Then came the DJing. Matt played Substitute by The Who. It was four years too early to be Seventies Who but it still made Keith dance. Then we went home. The End. I posted this mostly for Genevieve.

There. I hope you'll forgive a semi-retired and half-senile poster for the deviance. It's good being grown-up. You get to drink alcohol and have sex and own furniture and stuff. And more importantly, you never ever have to go a maths lesson ever again. OR SO I THOUGHT. Yesterday I was at 'uni' (is that what the kidz call it?) having my 7 hour quota of MA teaching for the week. And all 7 hours of it was about budgeting and accounting. Now, I am not one of these fluffy bunny types who can't get her head round the need to prepare a budget every so often in professional life. What I AM, is entirely incapable of understanding IN TWO SHORT HOURS the finer points of NPV and DFC and IRR and .9091 as a percentage over 10 years and arrrrgh... all delivered at a speed humming birds would have trouble keeping up with. There was NO NEED for us to be burdened with this terrible half-knowledge at this point. I was immediately transported back to GCSE maths and physics in front of a cruel-mouthed tyrant who was supremely disgusted that his/her tiny charges were not able to understand the perfection of his/her mathematical brain. However, later I decided that a 10 year interval in between occcasions of being made to feel utterly stupid is not that bad going. Meanwhile, I watched a very good film last night called La Finestra Di Fronte. It has no maths in it at all and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Italian pastries, understated romance or elderly gays with a tragic past. Something for everyone really. What else was I going to say? Oh yes, I was wondering whether a Brighton picnic on Saturday 3 April might be agreeable? I know it's a long way off but that's the soonest I can guarantee not to have evil coursework exerting its grip. Well, let me know. It's pencilled in, in what passes for the Archel mind these days. You're all lovely. Archel xxx PS. I hope everyone remembered that it was the inimitable Miss Maddie Minx's birthday on Tuesday. She still rocks the Sinister kasbah despite being oh so quiet. ***************************** www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk is a nice website that would like your contributions. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <20040219184747.11286.h007.c000.wm@mail.nme.com.criticalpath.net> hello, blimey, Peter Miller! Well, I suppose I'm a quasi-fan rather than a true fan, for getting the new single on Tuesday rather than Monday. Oh dear, Avalanches, why did you bother? I think that their versh of I'm a Cuckoo is definitely going to supersede Beyond the Sunrise in the B&S track most often skipped stakes, if it really counts as a B&S track. Fortunately, Stop Look and Listen and Travellin' Light more than make up for this blip by being fantastic - the country twang of the first part of SL&L is a demonstration of the band's increasing versatility and the guitar solo at the end is astounding and unexpected. The comparisons with sixties and seventies acts seem to coming apace into my inbox. Sorry, David Moore, I have never heard any Gram Parsons, although I prolly should have. The video's good as well - I'm always impressed by the way the cover stars from the records appear in the vids as well - it's a nice touch. Also, I like the way the dog emerges from the bed to coincide with the line about trouble rearing its ugly head - although I can't help feeling sorry for the poor mutt :). I find it quite easy to regard the I'm a Cuckoo video as a sequel to the Dog on Wheels video. After all, both feature Stuart going round Glasgow and interacting in various ways with the people he sees, but Dog on wheels sees him very much as part of a band just starting out (putting up posters in the college and so forth) whereas in I'm a Cuckoo he is more self-assured as someone in an established band might be expected to be. If he had bumped into the two girls whilst jogging at the Dog on Wheels stage of the band's career he may well of received a scowl and some abuse, but as he does so in 2004, the girls can go home and tell their housemates that they had been bumped into by Stuart Murdoch and getting crumpled course-notes was a small price to pay! In fact, it's possible that one girl mouths "wow, that's Stuart Murdoch!" to her friend after Stuart goes on his way.....I don't know, I can't lipread people in real life, let alone on a screen. Talking of people on screen, I found myself being videoed at the end of last week. That sounds quite pervy put like that, but it was all very innocuous. I was on a one and a half day course learning how to carry out people's performance appraisals and we had to do these videoed role plays. My character was a manager who had a member of staff who was SO popular that she had an entourage of people gathered round her desk chatting loudly at all hours of the day and I'd had a Very Important Visitor who'd complained about the noise! I watched the video in my parents' living room on Saturday and they commented "ooh, you don't seem like *you* in it at all! You're so professional!" To which I immediately thought - what, you expected me to halting and slapdash??? I suppose any complimentary comment can be regarded negatively if you think too hard about it. The funny thing about the whole process was that the course tutor assured us all the way through that "only WE would see the video" as if there was a suspicion in some quarters that he was going to make multiple copies and flog them down market, innit. Has anyone reported back from My Bloody Valentine Tigermilking? It was great as ever, I went there via Stoke Newington to call in on Ruth from corduroysmoke who wanted to go but couldn't as she was working. Fortunately she was working in a PUB so I was able to be barfly for an hour and a bit while we discussed all manner of things including Franz Ferdinand and the Will Self book I'm reading at the moment, punctuated by inevitable breaks for her to serve the other customers. Then on to the betsey where I met Dafyd, Jim Purpletrousers, Paul H and of course Mr Santabarbarbarbarbara-ann, who was wearing his B&S & t-shirt under a shirt, which he unbuttoned Clark Kent stylee, tho he didn't play the final track on Lifes Rich Pageant to emphasise the point. Tigermilking this time confounded us all by being Upstairs Downstairs, although there was no sign of Lord Richard Bellamy. We were treated to some Primals from Stefano's tall friend whose name I can't remember, lots of stuff I didn't know but which sounded good anyway, FF's Take Me Out (twice! I hadn't heard the version on the album before, only the radio edit, although I'd just bought it I hadn't had the opportunity to listen, so asked what's this before it became obvious exactly what it was) and of course the track in the title. Bridget the Midget sounds so different these days. well, it's How does It Feel tomorrow, Penelope Tree in a couple of weeks (I'm excited about this as I've never been before) and of course in between there's my trip to BELGIUM! (waves to Olivier and Aton, oh and Annie...where art thou?) byeeee, Mark. ______________________________________________________________ For up-to-the-minute music news, reviews and specials visit http://www.nme.com Get free e-mail (anyname at nme.com) now at http://www.nmemail.com The sender of this e-mail is NOT an employee or associate of NME, nme.com or any other IPC magazine. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

OK.... so I was drinking. Huge amounts of freshly-squeezed lemonade. Hmm... OK.... so I was flipping through a fairly recent copy of "Giant Robot." I had just returned from the record store, and was quite satisfied with my fill of magazines, B&S Singles and heavily tattooed women. Stop, Look and Listen came over the stereo, me hearing it for the first time. And, from over the fence next door, I hear some giggling. So, I look up and see a head and deep blue shirt bouncing up and down over the fence, seemingly in sync with the music. The neighbors had just bought a trampoline, and the two younger brothers have been thoroughly enjoying it EVERY SINGLE DAY. I should have taped it, and made my own B&S video. Forever preserve the surrealism of the moment. Maybe taped it all grainy-like, so it looks like one of those cheesy ABC Afterschool specials from the 1970s. I'm just waiting for the day when they figure out that they can have massive amounts of fun bouncing *other* things on the trampoline, besides human bodies. Maybe then, I'll tape it. Rob P.S. I'm A Cuckoo (by the Avalanches) -- What the hell is that? B&S meet Hakuna Matata? My Lord... I like the Lion King. I like African music. I *love* B&S. BUT NOT IN THE SAME FUCKING SONG!!!! The Avalanches deserve a prolonged sharp stick-poking for that. Or repeated shocks with a Tazer. :-P +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

This time I will try to write a better letter than the one I just finished off (this was a week ago. Well how time flyes). That won’t be too hard really. Just keep it focused and we will be all right. I forgot to add in my latest letter how Valentine’s Day went. Or really, the day before Valentine’s Day. Well first I didn’t get a flower. None. Zip, nada, ingen. Well I didn’t’ expect one either. None at all. I mean since my friends didn’t send one, the chance that I would get one was small. And really I don’t feel so very bad about it. Just a little self pity, right? Ah, well. The hard thing is that every one else gets a flower. Or maybe I’m wrong? Is it just so that you notice all those who gets flowers, but those who get none just pass by? I do think it is so, after a bit of thought. Well, I guess things are relative. Some things affect you. I had just bought Tigermilk, and I was off to a place where they show different older movies on big screen, like a movie club, to see a film, Trainspotting. Every one who has seen that movie, knows what I mean when I say it is a difficult one (or maybe you disagree? Maybe some people thinks it is hilariously funny. Well, I didn’t). For all those who haven’t seen it here is a short basic story. The movie follows a group of drug addicted Scottish people. No matter what they do or try to stay out of it they get stuck to all kinds of drugs ("We would have injected vitamin C if they one would have made it illegal"). Well, it is a heavy movie with some let’s say strange episodes. It gave me a dirty impression. Don’t get me wrong here; what I mean is dirt, like mud. Let me explain. In the hotels the curtains where old and ugly, the streets where dirty, the people was strange and so on. Well, it really put me in a strange mood. What I would rather have wanted to see was clean nice things, a movie with important people doing important stuff and save the day in the end. The classical American thing. Well, the worst part of all this was that it reflected on my new Tigermilk record. It also felt dirty, out of date, strange. For a whole afternoon and night I felt like this. Trainspotting had made Tigermilk bad. After two days I put it in my CD player again. Well, I thought, none of them are so good really, and that Electronic thing is really bad. I thought; well, thank heaven they have improved. The third time I listened to it I noticed there was a song, that was better than the others. “She was the reason for all the looks we gave”. It was sang in a low, dark key and sounded really good. In listened to it again. Well that second song wasn’t so bad after all either. The next morning or so, I found myself humming to the first song. After giving up I played it again. This time I liked all of the songs, except the Electronic Renaissance. I still don’t like it much. I just accept it. Well, at least Tigermilk was clean. A bit of silly American programs did the trick. Nothing is so useful for starting to believe in the world again as bad American TV. Well, at least it’s good for something then. And also, I must beg the B&S; NEVER EVER do a Best Of record. Please, please! There are two reasons for that. The first is the same reason that makes it impossible, for me at least, to do a mix CD with B&S. I know when all songs are coming, and if they don’t come in the right order I get furious. And secondly, a best of record marks that “this is as good we get, now we can’t get better”, which would take out all of the possible fun out of it. Time is a funny thing. I realised a while ago, that before the last Sunday in September last year I had only heard “The boy with the Arab strap” and “Legal Man” of B&S. That Sunday I had thought to see a movie at the same film club as I mentioned above, but I was one week early and it hadn’t started yet. So I went down to a local CD shop and bought Arab Strap. It was a sunny day, and I was carrying around my left arm in a bag while walking home. When I got home I put it on and played it again and again. Oh. It feels like B&S have been a part of my life forever. I guess B&S is one of the single things that have had the most impact on my life. Strange. Well, I better finish this letter of. I must thank Astrid, and congratulate her to a nice Valentine’s Day. Could it have been better? I do hope you all have a really nice time! Oh, and this upcoming week I have V-a-c-a-t-i-o-n, in the summer time! Well, not really but But Ah, well, you will be hearing from me quite soon, I guess. Johan PS.

ACT I. I got Fans Only in the mail the other day, only like a month after I ordered it. They were going to wait until the Shins album I ordered with it got back in stock but I was all like "no, I think you should mail it to me now!" and they were all "well, okay," and so I've been watching it all week. I think my favourite parts are the bits with Beans at Celtic Park, and the Lazy Line Painter Jane video; now it's even more of my favourite song, if that makes sense. I haven't had the chance to see the whole thing at once yet because I've been writing this BA thesis, but hopefully when it's all done I'll have the chance to see it in full. There are a lot of things I'd like to do after I finish my thesis, like interacting with others and seeing the outdoors again. ACT II. There will be plenty of seeing the outdoors for me when I am AT COACHELLA! I just spent way more money than I probably should have on buying the two-day pass, but I figure it's the last insane thing I can do before I graduate from college and have to join the real world. (That being the real world of graduate school, of course, but library school just seems so much different from what I've been doing.) It will be the second time I've seen Belle and Sebastian this school year, which I think is a pretty good track record and makes up for the fact that I didn't see them last year. I mean, I guess. At any rate, I think it would be fantastic if there were some sort of coordination among the Sinisters who will be there. I only know in person like one of us, and I've been on the list for something like a year and a half now so I feel out of some sort of loop. Unfortunate! ACT III. I really like this Camera Obscura record a lot, and it might be the best new record I've heard this year. (I know strictly speaking it's not new, but I didn't get to hear it until this month.) I played about half of it on my radio show last week, which I felt was my duty since no one else on our station is playing it at all. Philistines! I think I'll have to play the hell out of it again this Wednesday, as some sort of wonderful retribution. ACT IV. I should probably get the new single but the way I am I think my friend will get it first and then laugh at me because I spend all my money on Ireland football jerseys instead. But Roy Keane might come back!

Besides, I�m barely even having sex at the moment, let alone reproducing. No, this bump is the work of our very own Joe and Florence Sinister, ex of London, now of Bristol. (For those who don�t know, these two first flashed eyes across another sinister�s bedroom � the rest, as they say, is all a bit of a blur.) Technically the kid�s already been to its first gig (Bath Pavilion), and its Mum and Dad intend to brainwash it with the entire back-catalogue from an early age, mwah mwahahaha. In fact, I�m even hoping it might get a Belle and Sebastian name. Like Belle. Or Sebastian. Or Judy, Anthony, Lisa, Dylan, Mary Jo, Nancy, Emma, Laura, Joe, Phil, Jane, Jenny, Jonathan, or, indeed, David. Not Seymour though � that would just be stupid. On New Year�s Eve we were discussing how marvellous it would be if there could be a Sinister Christening, with Struan in a smart suit giving blessings, Wee Sarah serving tea and the band doing a cover of �Baby Love�. Now that would be worth being born for. So there. All being well, it�ll be here in the summer � can�t remember the exact date (Flo, set me straight), and I�m hoping we can feed it stewed apples at a picnic near you. More on those later though. *Nice surprises* >From kleine kindern to Kinder Surprise � those chocolatey eggs with toys inside. I can�t get enough of these at the moment. So far I�ve gotten a mini fish magnifying glass, a coyote on a motorbike and a glow-in-the-dark lamppost. Oh, and about 4 pounds heavier. Anyway, that�s not really news, so� *Stuart Murdoch�s Home Movies* Do you remember a while back I posted about Stuart M making a star appearance in my friend Dave�s kitchen? Of course you do. Well, it turns out Dave�s flatmate Melanie is the Melanie in the I�m A Cuckoo video! She and her friend Isabelle are the poor girls who get dunted by a running Struan. (�Tsk, who does he think he is; Richard Bluddy Ashcroft?!�) Well, according to Dave, Melanie�s in the next video too, and it�s a collection of shots, filmed by Stu on his handycam, of �random friends of the band doing random things� (this is as much as I could get out of Dave). Melanie will be drumming, apparently, in Dave�s flat. Does anyone know what song it�s going to be? Dave had forgotten � he really is quite a fecking useless source. I�ve told him if his flat�s in the video I�m gonna organise open-days, so Sinisters can hang out there and relive the moment. And I�m gonna sell his kitchen chairs for silly money on ebay. So that was the news. And now for the weather. *Session and List Neglect* When I read the upset about not enough people posting or reviewing radio sessions and the suchlike, I felt quite choked, really. And so should you. This is how it feels to be loved and missed when you�re away, and it doesn�t happen to just anyone. Are you welling up yet? Jolly good. But I�m sensing there are perfectly good reasons why you�re keeping yourselves to yourselves. Some of you have got busy jobs or fallen in love or found other distractions that stop you from speaking up. For me though, and surely I can�t be the only one, it�s simply because Belle & Sebastian are born now. The longest gestation period ever is finally up, and after pushing and straining and puffing ourselves half-daft, the labour�s paid off. We�ve handed them over to the authorities. Trever Horn is Daddy Warbucks and we�re, well we�re just, er� (sorry, this metaphor is falling apart). The point is, now B&S have made it, I can finally catch up on all music I�ve been neglecting over the past 8 years; devoting more time and energy to sourcing obscure EPs by bands that were just a twinkle in a someone�s eye when B&S cut their teeth. It�s very rewarding. I was there when Franz Ferdinand needed me, and how proud I am of those boys now. And I frequently have Lampchop clenched to my breast, while carrying U.N.P.O.C. on one hip and The New Pornographers on the other. These bands need the kind of nurturing people like us can offer. Aww, I mean, just look at their cute wee faces. It doesn�t mean I don�t love B&S any more: I do. I love them as though they were my own. And judging by the warmth in Stuart�s simply beautiful online diary, he still loves us too. Maybe what we all need is a group hug, with mini scotch eggs and swiss rolls. First sniff of sunshine and we should all get into groups, get drunkish and remind each other what this was all about in the first place. Oh, and anyone who remembers what that was, please let us all know in advance. Much love and a fiver on your birthday, Auntie Lorraine _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with cool emoticons - download MSN Messenger today! http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I always thought that was nice. There was a lot of Clientele, and some Left Banke or something on them. Fun. Now I return b/c I only have class 6 hours a week, and work 20 hours a week. Lots and lots of free time, folks. I am not complaining. I am very grateful. Anyway. Where I work, at the coffee shop equivalent of a certain nation of mine which practices neo-imperialism....guess...they have begun to include four or five tracks off DCW in regular rotation. As far as i know, which isn't that much b/c that requires more care than i really want to care about, these songs are being played at every damn coffee shop belonging to this mega corp. I wonder how the band feels about the spreading around of their music like this. My hometown kids, the Flaming Lips, have a song or two on Mitsubishi ads on tv. Wayne still drives his old green Taurus, as far as I know, tho. So, um, well. That's all. Nothing momentous to say. Enjoy whatever weather you are having. It's balmy here. That means somewhere in the 50s or something, with wind (as always) and sun. Or moon, as it's 8:30 pm. If anyone is going to SXSW to see the Trash Can Sinatras play next month, lemme know, cuz i am. (P.S. Does anyone want to offer some special insight into Joyce's Ullyses? If one composed a paper on the subject, and felt that the effort might be worth something some day....well, here is your long awaited chance...perhaps specifically regarding the corrolation to Homer?) --Susan-- "Never advise anyone to go to war or to marry" - Spanish proverb +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

A twitcher. He met my mother, a farmer's daughter, at Scottish dancing classes and they fell in love. When I was born several years later, I was named Robin after the robin my dad used to put food out for every morning. When I was born I had my umbilical cord wrapped round my neck and was quite blue, and my dad reckons I'm lucky I wasn't named after a Blue Tit. So, when I bought I'm A Cuckoo at the weekend the lad behind the counter gave me a handful of badges and suggested that I could cover up the word "Cuckoo", to make it any bird or animal I want. "I'm a Robin" would be quite appropriate. And when I went home on Sunday I gave a badge to my dad and he was very pleased with it, attaching it to his gardening coat so he could wear it outside and maybe fool a few blackbirds. Well, today is Shrove Tuesday, and once again we think of that rarest bird of all, the shrove. Shroves used to roam all over this green and pleasant land, their feet big and floppy and their beaks long and thin. But now the lesser striped shrove is no more, and the greater spotted shrove, although alive and well in some remote parts of the Highlands, is rarely seen outside the zoo. Now the ancient tradition of Shrove Hunting has been banned, and making the traditional Shrove Pie could get you arrested, the most popular food on Shrove Tuesday is the pancake. I've already got my flour and eggs together, and I'll be making some as soon as I get home. And after I've sprinkled on the lemon and the sugar I'll say a little prayer for the poor old shrove. ++++++++ pancakes ++++++++ Ingredients 120g/4oz plain flour pinch of salt 2 eggs 210ml/7fl oz milk 90ml/3fl oz water 1 tbsp vegetable oil Method 1.

I'm a little scared because last week a got this email from my dad with my sinisterposts in it! AAH! He just typed my name at google and there they were... bit scary don't you think? So, I won;t write about all my hangovers and so because of my dad watching over me ;) Yesterday I went to Rotterdam to the Arthall where was a exposition of Mucha. He was a Jugendstill/art nouveau painter and made these really great things... There were also 4 other expositions (photos, smoking in the art, etcetera) so for less than 5 euros we saw five expositions! It was really great... The day before yesterday I did something really stupid. Thats why I won't tell it anybody. But I can't tell it no one so I tell it to you, but promiss that you won't tell it to anyone, okay?! Well, I went shoppin, just by my self, I bought 5 great cd's (air, pulp fiction, paul simon, lamb, paul mc cartney...) and just walked trough the people smiling... It felt great! So when I was at the station again to get the train I realized that the boy I really really liked (that's also something you must not tell to anyone! I don't wanna fall in love again...) was maybe just taking the same train is me. BUT... there are 2 trains going to my place. the first is just going straight to my home and that takes 15 minutes or so, the second is stopping at all the stations and is really slow... that boy I was talking about had to take the second train so I did to... I was sitting in the train, just watching cows and listening to screaming children with my new cds really close to me (I felt like a little kid..) and, well, he wasn't there... but hey, maybe he wasn't even in the place I went shopping... so, it was just a stupid thing and I wanted to tell it because I think that if I tell it to anyone else they just smile and look at me and think I'm just a really strange girly... well I am! So, this morning the beautifull sound of Isobel Campbell woke me... what a great cd!!! Franz Ferdinand is sold out... but now we are going to bauer... I think I'm gonna quit. I need a cigaret (jep, I'm an addict..) wish me luck with not falling in love, all men are bastards! (oops. sorry guys, not you, and not you, but the boys who didn't treat me well... understand?) love and a hug, imke did you know you can't drive trough a wall?? (I have a new mobile phone and got a xbox with it for free so now I;m addicted to midtown madness..) *:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_, +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.
