From samiamx at xxx.com Sat Jul 3 14:04:41 2004 From: samiamx at xxx.com (Samiam Green Eggs And Ham) Date: Sat, 03 Jul 2004 13:04:41 +0000 Subject: Sinister: Europe Trekkin Message-ID: I need some advice -- a few of us are going to hit European cities in July/August, we'll be there for about two weeks. I would like to visit cities rich in culture and history, my friends want to club (think ibiza drones meets Abercrombie, don't ask) with other 20s people. We're trying to find cities that can offer both or one or the other and we can go to a few cities. We're thinking of going to Budapest, Prague (and I would love to go Barcelona, but it's probably too far). Any other suggestions for cities? Also, if there are Sinisterians with tips on where to go in those cities, let me know. �Also, since we're getting tix late and it's peak season, airfare is very expensive to fly from NYC to Prague. Any suggestions on what to do save airfare? Makin plans has already been a rigamarole of an effort, so I would love any advice. Obrigado!!

Luckily for me, I've taken to wearing trainers just in case such a feeling should grab me around the waist and try to spin me around, and they helped me to keep my toes from moving too far. Instead, I jumped onto a bench and tiptoed along, until enough people had begun to look that the feeling went away. I hadn't been back on terra firma for more than a few footsteps when a crazed pigeon came headlong towards me, aiming more-or-less at my nose. Urban pigeons belong to two schools. There are those who take care of their appearance, shiny feathers, plump chests and a sailor's swagger as they trot along the top of the war memorial. They spend their days looking out for half-eaten vegetarian wraps from Boots, and at night hang around outside Metro's to drink the pure tears of dumped teenage girlfriends. They have this town all worked out, and look down on us from under the church gables and give a disdainful "Coo". The other type of pigeon arrives in the city on a Monday and lands on top of the multi-storey car park. By Tuesday it has decided that petrol has a certain flavour other toxic liquids cannot beat. By Thursday it has realised that not only is petrol blinkin delicious, it also gives enough nutrition for breakfast, lunch *and* dinner, and that, despite the fact that its left leg is currently spinning around on the wheel of the number thirty bus to Newport, it has never felt better. By Saturday it decides, with the type of gay abandon only a brain-damaged bird could manage, to fling itself headfirst along the high street at the potato-faced passers-by. Fortunately, for other reasons, I have recently taken to wearing trainers, and they enabled me to step lithely to the left and deflect the deranged ball of feathers off my "Vote Nader" lapel-badge and towards a nearby display of garden ornaments. Gwen and Hilary weren't so lucky, their stratospheric heels and fullsome bosoms hardly helping their efforts to stay upright. I overheard Gwen say to Hilary: "Oh, I hate pigeons. I hate everything that flies, you know. Birds, aeroplanes". Hilary wobbled sympathetically. But all this is somewhat beside the point. What I should be saying is: Isn't the Books EP just a great record? Your Cover's Blown standing up for the new vibe with a determined chin and some splendid lyrics; and Your Secrets, a great recording with some heavenly harmonies. I could write you a postcard about the unusual strength of the recent singles' B-sides, but I'm sure you've noticed this already yourselves. A big hullo to all the sinipops I met at glasto, including Ian-the-dirty-vicar, Rener, Mark, Ken, Carsmile, Starry, Lixi, and a far-away but apparently real Sam Walton. It was good fun, wasn't it? I enjoyed the mud most of all. When I woke up in the morning it was like a muddy alsatian had visted during the night and had a good shake. My strangest moment of the weekend was trying to meet someone "by the big purple tent", only to realise that big purple tents were all the range in Somerset this year and the campsite was full of them. It was truly a horror. It reminded me of a story my mum told me once about a leprichaun and a handkerchief. I have never trusted small Irish men since. Like Mark H, I would also love a little snifter with sinister folks on the weekend of the Somerset House gig, though the Friday would be best for me. So if anyone has any plans, then let me know. My ticket says "7 o'clock" on it, but last week I also received a rubbish postcard announcing that the time has changed to 7 o'clock. Not much of a postcard - they could have filled the space with something exciting like a small discussion on the belle and sebastian b-sides, but oh well. Then, just the other day, I was phoned up at work by a ROBOT WOMAN, who refused to have a chat and instead told me, in the tone of voice she usually reserves for evaporating puny humans, that the time has changed - to 7 o'clock. So that's 7 o'clock then, kids. Oh yes. Heavens above, I really should go! Bye!

I hope none of you have been beaten up lately. I - through the greatest fortunes - haven't been beaten up either recently, it was astonishing. Considering that my flatmate has been away for two days and I had been pumping up old-skool and nu-sk001 Belle & Sebastian to 11, and singing along at volume 12. Doing housework has never been so much fun - you try it yourself - chopping onions singing along to Stay Loose, slicing a chicken into equal halves whilst singing along aloud to "I'm a cuckoo", haberdashing to "Lazy Line Painter Jane", vacuuming the floor whilst muttering "I dreamt I 'ad 'a go'a marrrrs", ironing your clothes whilst singing "(My girl's got) miraculous technique". It was fucking ace. I bet my neighbours fucking hate it though. The last time I heard music through their walls was some kind of JAZZ music, accompanied by their shagging noises. That's exactly what I needed, some jazz fucking. HAHA, but now my revenge comes, yeah! INDIE POP HOUSEWIFING MUSIC, TAKE THAT YOU BIATCHES! Haha and I have also a surprise for them too since I have my VOCODER working - MECHANICAL BELLE AND ROBOT SEBASTIAN HERE I COME. Wait.. Haha I guess Robin Stout didn't realise it was me when I called him through my vocoder the other day. (Sorry Robin) >Then, just the other day, I was phoned up at work by a ROBOT WOMAN, who > refused to have a chat and instead told me, in the tone of voice she > usually reserves for evaporating puny humans, that the time has > changed - to 7 o'clock. So that's 7 o'clock then, kids. Oh yes. So, the next couple of weeks should be tres fun - since I'm going to be seeing SIMON AND SEBASTIAN AND BELLE AND GARFUNKEL!!!!!! All in the same week. And of course The Shins, and, *gasp*, The Everly Brothers are supporting! Hope to see some of you guys on the Saturday. Someone should TAKE CONTROL of a meetup. Like, howsabout meeting up at Green Park or something? It's almost walkable to Somerset House from there.

I don’t know if there were any local Sinisters and I didn’t check before I went – I really didn’t have time to plan much at all as we left the day after I came home muddy, with blisters on my feet from the three-day festival at Hultsfred (the biggest in Sweden). But it was a great festival. Got to see Essex Green for the second time (and they did play “Berlin”). And Bright Eyes and Morrissey of course. Berlin was nice too and didn’t even mind the rain much. I’d already been rained on plenty at Hultsfred. At least here I could enjoy the luxury of having Dry Feet (probably the most underestimated thing of all time). As I was there with the family it was more seeing-as-many-famous-sights-as-possible than wild night life. But I managed to make a few interesting observations anyway. First of all there were a lot of “alternative” people, as one would expect. Not like Spain (which would be the ideal country for twee pop with all the sunshine, flowering gardens and stuff) where most people seem satisfied with the mainstream native culture. But I couldn’t pin-point people to a specific sub-culture though. In Sweden it’s pretty easy to see if someone listens to indierock, indiepop, punk or whatever (even post-rock people have a certain look to them!). It could be they were hiding in specific areas Also in Sweden people have badges like “the jam” or “b & s”. The only badges I saw in Berlin had things like “no war” written in them. I even managed to drag my family down to Kreuzberg were the Hipsters are supposed to thrive like mosquitoes in a swamp. At least they did in the 80’s when you could find Nick Cave in the darkest corner of some seedy bar and Blixa Bargeld lying on the pavement with a hammer, screaming in German, recording for the next Einstürzende Neubauten record. But anyway I think we missed the liveliest part of the district. We also went to the scary KaDeWe (what is it with Germans and names?) – like Harrods, but with seven stories. The really scary part was when I found I copy of DCW in the records compartment. Thank god for the much better records-store Cover, which of course had all b&s, looper and gentle waves records. I found Books too (hm wasn’t that before it was released?). I got my hands on some yo la tengo, galaxie 500 and red house painters cds. And at the end of next month its time for the twee festival We & You in my hometown. That’s really going to great! Darren Hayman is coming as well as Lovejoy and Tompaulin. Anyone living in Sweden really must go there. I’m thinking about going to Mitt Sista Liv (“my last life”) in Kalmar too. Free Loan Investments, Milky Wimpshake and Scarlet Swells will be performing!

As I'm not going myself I feel bad butting in; but surely if you're going to Somerset House and want a park to meet up in, the sensible place is Embankment Gardens - you could meet up at Embankment station, or something. xx Caitlin -- http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

How ARE you my little darlings? It's been far too long since, well, the last time. Since the last time I have: - Been in London to visit my big sister and when at How Does It Feel managed to not say hi to both Paul Healy (who I stared at (er, sorry, not in creep way I hope) a lot that night) AND Ken Chu. - Turned 18! WOHOO!! I have since got my beloved Dl4 Delay Modeler, a great stompbox pedal from Line 6 which totally fucking rawks and is great. Great people who has it: One of the guitarists in Explosions In The Sky, Joel Shearer from Pedestrian and Wilco. - A couple of days ago me and Amanda went to Accelerator: the big one, which had such great artists performing as Wilco, The Shins, Explosions In The Sky, Broken Social Scene, Jens Lekman, HAL etc. etc. etc. Oh and The Von Bondies. The main events at that day (3 p.m. to 3 a.m.) 1. Amanda gets in. Big thing since she is a two years too young. And I am not, finally. 2. Explosions in the sky perform and afterwards I ramble something to them about their concerts being not mere concerts but it was an epiphany and so fucking beautiful etc. etc. 3. Wilco almost makes me cry because they are so great and Jeff Tweedy is amazing but then... 4. ... the inevitable happens: a drunk, humongous bearded wilco-fan emerges through the crowd and i start telling him insulting htings but he keeps saying WHAT until I give up and to get my message across just gives him the finger (Readers, if you knew how wild I felt, I mean, seriously, I'm a B&S fan, how wild is my life?). But then his other friend pulled my ponytail and the first guy started like trying to dance with me but i was angry and told him to sod off. 5. I got a WEE bit too drunk by the time of the Von Bondies and thought to myself: "Hell, I have a man and he can't see me now, I have no one to impress, I want to DANCE, ah yes, I have to DANCE, I will let the rawk and rawl possess me!!" and I danced like Paula Abdul was possessing me. Or well, not Paula Abdul, but I was behaving like a crazy drugged-out person having a seizure. Note to self: Let's do that again soon. V. much fun. 6. By dancing without dignity sadly attracted gut from Detroit who after the Von bondies came to hit on me, but I mentioned my boy and he moved on to Amanda. 7. Half an hour later: Amanda and Detroit-guy are making out. I am freaking out. 8. I want to go home. 9. We go home. 10. We see bus leaving, have to wait another hour for a new one. 11. Meets v. funny guy in suit. We talk about gross food for an hour. Yeah that was it. Must've been dead exciting for you guys to read about. Also my solo project is working out nicely, I'm called Good Scout Promise and my demo which is starting to be finished now is called "Unless Otherwise Stated" I think. Oh man, I think this was my worst post yet. If you think otherwise, do not remind me of other posts which are worse. Let's just forget together. Love Astrid Ps. I think I am starting to enjoy being me quite properly, it's nicer than I thought. I don't suck as much as I feared, which you must admit is a nice thing to realise. Pps. Krister: I will get back to you soon! Running out of time on the library computer. If oyu come to stockholm we should meet! _________________________________________________________________ Chatt: Träffa nya nätkompisar på Habbo Hotel http://habbohotel.msn.se/habbo/sv/channelizer +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

If anyone on this list lives there, can you send me an e-mail? I have questions on happenings in the city. Now, I need to work on my frenchy. Has anyone heard of My Morning Jacket. I just got their lastest CD, it's really quite good -- I guess they belong in the Alt-country catalog to give you an idea of the sound. It's a mix of Johnny Cash, Americana, Luna/Galaxie 500 and in some places they sound like what little I know about Pink Floyd and Yes (longer songs that sound very different in some parts). Anyway, just wanted to share because I told a friend of mine about them (who's a big fan of Wilco, Uncle Tup, Whiskeytown, Ryan Adams, etc) and he immediately declared them his fave band once he bought their album and he's usually not easily impressed.

Lots of people seem to be going to the Saturday gig, but for those of you going on the Sunday, I suggest that we meet up at 6 o'clock at the Lyceum pub, which is on the opposite side of the Strand from Somerset House. There is a map here: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=530565&y=180820&z=0&ar=Y there is a nice picture of the pub here: http://ultimatepubguide.com/pubs/info.phtml?pub_id=37 It is a Sam Smiths pub, which is always a plus in my book. It is also easy to find, but if anyone does have any probs I suggest they ring me on O79O5 163787. Ages after the event, I discovered that I have been Sillustrated by Katarina (# 113). This is of course a great honour. I understand that she might be at How Does It Feel on Friday (cheers for the reminder, Ian) so I may get the opportunity to thank her in person. Looking at the Sillustrations again tonight, I feel inclined to quote this from Laura Llew, which still makes me laugh: "blue is my favorite color but with this new hotmail setup I feel as if I'm writing on the remains of a smurf massacre." the white box these words are appearing in being Papa Smurf's beard, I assume.

I wrote this for you on tuesday night, but my internet server has been down, so I’ll send it out now. First things first, I just got back from a rainy concert in central park in NYC, Guster, Ben Folds, and Rufus Wainwright. That in itself isn’t really sinister material, but I’m getting there, be patient! Anyway, Guster were closing, which was kind of a bummer, because they’re my least favorite of the three, but after their mediocre set, they came back for the encore with Ben Folds and break into a song. But it wasn’t just any song, oh no, it was The Boy With The Arab Strap. I was stunned and it was pretty amazing. A nice night for all. Second things second. It’s now official, I’m skipping over my senior year in high school and going directly to University of Glasgow. The thing is I’ve only been to Scotland once in my life, to visit schools, and so the only people in Glasgow that I’ve met are a beautiful admissions rep at the University and Stuart from the Belles. Needless to say, as I’ve only turned seventeen yesterday, I’m going to be young and lonesome. So if anyone feels like being my friend and helping me out, I would really like it. You’re all beautiful people and though I don’t write very much (one time previously to my knowledge, after meeting Stuart) I read each and every post that comes my way and I have a fairly big crush on all of you. Thanks for listening, take care of yourselves and write back if you’re feeling friendly, Love, James +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Who won the sweepstakes? >> Um, to be honest, I don't know. The competition had to be abandoned due to poor refereeing, as I accidentally dug up all of the spuds and put them in a bucket without thinking of checking to see which one was the biggest. I know. I'm sorry. Imagine the horror when I found out. THE HORROR!! My mum told me to dig up every last spud, even the tiny ones, but I never did. Apparently, leaving them in the ground through the winter makes them go funny. She always told me to wear an anorak on days like today, too, but i never listen. Instead I just sat in the kitchen, looking at the freshly dug soil and thinking of all those wonderful treats I could cook up with my spuds, and thinking what a clever fellow I'd been. I should have known better. This summer, the garden has been overtaken by mutant zombie potato plants, which have risen from the dead. And it's raining outside and I've only got a cardigan to wear... I shall do my best to fight against racism on Saturday, although it is possible I shall simply get lost. I shall hopefully see Mark on SUNDAY, though, but I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the pub. Why is no one going on Sunday, that's what I want to know. You losers.

As Mark H. mentioned in his post miss Katarina Foxtail of sillustation fame is in london for the occasion, and she will probably be at How does it feel tonight, and surely at the gig and possible picnic tomorrow... come and say hello to here! and there was people asking if there was something to go dancing after the GIG. Indeed, there is a rather lovely club at the buffalo bar, just outside Highbury and islingtnon stop on the victoria line, which is called cut and paste. I would define that as indie *extravaganza* but is rather funny. at least i think it is. take care love stefano :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Stephano School of Biological Sciences Queen Mary, University of London Mile End Road London E1 4NS :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Department of Biology University College London Gower Street London WC1E 6BT :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: E-mail: s.santabarbara at qmul.ac.uk :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Well hold it guys, they're coming our way!! This is just a short post to say hi to all, and to all the B&S Melbourne gig-goers on the 24th at the Palais Theatre, keep an eye out for me and say a howdy-doo if you see me. I will be wearing BRIGHT YELLOW SNEAKERS. So keep your eyes on the shoes - but don't hold me responsible if you walk into anything. I will be away skiing for the next week, and probably will not be able to check my e-mail. See you there party people, throw your hands in the air. Nathan.

Glasgow and Cardiff meet-ups? Message-ID: Dear Sinister, I know I've been out of touch for a LONG time. Limited time on the net' and all that. Some people have informed me that messages sent bounced from my account over the last month. If you're not sure if I got your email then please send again. It seems to be okay now (fingers crossed). Well my first summer of no festivals hasn�t been as much torture as I imagined. I contented myself by listening to Glasto highlights (including B & S and Morrissey) on the BBC World Service. I have been kicked off the siniglasto list (during my account problems) so I don�t know what you were all discussing. Those that I�ve heard from seemed to have lots of fun. NEWS FROM BANGLADESH So for the updates. I'm now getting them straight on to my local Development Education Centre website. Go to http://www.ownne.org ...and click on Latest news. See my Apr-May BIG update first including my honey hunting trip in The Sundarbans - with pics. It was a brilliant trip so there's plenty of juicy details. There's a smaller May-June update. As I've got my access (without internet) to a computer in Bangladesh I've started including some pictures. I did go over my old updates to add pics - saris, slum areas etc. to give you a broader view but these improved versions don't appear to have gone live yet. While you're on the site have a look (if you get chance) to see what the Teesside One World Centre is all about. HONEY I'M HOME... NEWS FROM THE UK My big news is that I'm back in the UK for interviews! My first is with Biwater (international Water/wastewater treatment consultants) for a graduate engineering position on Tuesday. Then at the end of the month I've got an assessment centre exercise with DFID (Department for International Development). That's for a 12 - 18 month placement to hopefully make me a better consultant for DFID in the future. I�m going for an Infrastructure (Water and Environmental Health) position. There's so much preparation work I need to do for this! They�re paying for my flight ticket from the desh� bless them. The DFID assessment is in East Kilbride. Glasgow massive - are you up to anything then? It would be nice to see some of you. I'm staying in the UK for a month (leaving Aug 15th). My last week may (hopefully) be in Surrey for a canal restoration camp but I've got another three weeks to try and cram things in as is my usual style. If anyone is in Cardiff - either normally or for the Interhash and wants to meet up then please let me know. This UK trip was quite last minute so I couldn�t pre-notify. THE END IS NIGH� I'll be back in the UK on a more permanent (?) basis on Thurs September 23rd - the end of my placement in Bangladesh. Yes, I know that means I'm only going back overseas for a month but I really want to finish my job properly. I enjoy my work and my colleagues are like family for a start. Not to mention the fact that I'm still going out with Stu (American Peace Corps Volunteer). Yes, it has developed into a more serious relationship as the months have gone on. We've already decided that we are going to try and keep it going when I leave the desh'. Both of us 'want job, will travel'. His placement in Bangladesh doesn't finish until end of May 2005. We'll come up with something. In the meantime hopefully I'll be earning soon and will be able to afford go back to the Desh' in winter. my wellbeing won't be able to afford not to. So, i'm about to embark on my first inter-continental relationship. It's a bit daunting. Right, now I have to get on with some individual messaging. Some of you have been neglected for a long time. It's cold. I need to reacclimatise. Take care all, Amy _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.

The first paragraph is:" " Conventional wisdom dictates that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. But it doesn't half save time. For instance, if you see a man with a moustache in London, it is reasonable to assume he is either a policeman, gay or actually from Rotherham." This does seem to be random observation on the part of the writer, as the rest of the article seems to suggest that Belle and Sebastian's main man is exactly what you would expect from the cover of their albums, and his ideal woman is who you see on the cover of the albums. Perhaos I read that bit too quickly, to get to the main thing - an interview with Stuart. Not havign seen B&S recently, it is a shock but not a surprise to see Stuart has gone for a haircut last sported by the Eloi in The Time Machine, or maybe David Hemmings or Jean Seberg.

Message-ID: I think I was going to write after Glastonbury, and then I didn't. So now I am writing. It's funny how little traffic there is following that B&S concert at the weekend. Or maybe it hasn't happened yet and I am confused? Maybe. In any case, as part of my general plan to visit London either before or after B&S play I will be in London NEXT weekend. I'm going to be at some indie sadfest in Bethnal Green, where loads of obscure bands are playing. I am looking forward to seeing Language Of Flowers, because I saw them in Glasgow a while back and they are hybrids of all good music, and also the Blondie tribute act on the bill. The thing I am looking forward to most is my DJing. Yes, some fule is letting me loose on the wheels of steel. For fifteen minutes. I think I will be putting on 'Rapper's Delight'. Yesterday I saw that film "Tale of the Weeping Camel". It is about these people who like in Mongolia, who have this camel that gives birth to a little baby camel, only the mummy camel does not like the little baby camel and will not look after it. The little baby camel is then very sad. I won't reveal how the film ends, but oddly it involves singing and violin-playing. I am beginning to think that maybe I would like to live in a yurt in Mongolia and raise camels. And I read a book over the weekend in which all these people who live in Pompeii are killed horribly when the nearby mountain turns into a volcano. Now I want to go and see Pompeii. I reckon Naples could also be a laugh, even though it is apparently Europe's dodgiest city (if you are from Naples, please do not kill me). I was excited to see a post from Mr Fallaha the other day. It's like the early part of this decade all over again.

I've been trying to post but it keeps on not working. I wrote something about the Slow Graffiti thread, but it never arrived, and now the moment's passed. Hope this one makes it, as it has CONTENT galore. So the weekend. The gigs. Somerset House. Fantastic stuff, it really was. I've seen the band a few times, and this was by far their best in front of me. Yes, better than the R!A!H. In the absence of David Moore, here's the set list from the Sunday night: - Fuck This Shit - La Pastie De La Bourgeousie - Step Into My Office, Baby - Wrapped Up In Books - Women's Realm - I Fought In A War - The Lonliness Of A Middle-Distance Runner - Travelling Light - The Boy Done Wrong Again - My Wandering Days Are Over - Embarrassment (by Madness) - Dog On Wheels - Dirty Dream Number 2 - You Made Me Forget My Dreams - Forget - If She Wants Me - Family Tree (this came after a heckle requesting it, and Stevie sang the opening verse in real asthmatic hampster voice, to the delight of the crowd) - Belle & Sebastian - Taxman (an impromptu cover after Stevie said "come on! we're at the tax office, everybody smash a window!") - Roy Walker - String Bean Jean - If You Find Yourself Caught In Love - Legal Man (encore) - Me & The Major - I'm A Cuckoo (interestingly, no Twattybus...) I felt such a paternal glow as the band rattled through their set, like finally they'd grown up and blossomed from their shyness into this confident, swaggering pop band - they were tight, professional, and actually at a decent volume too. Good crowd banter too. Struan breifly sported a Cliff Richard tee-shirt for the opening few songs, before *swoon* changing his top ON STAGE, and he also donned a bowler hat for the Madness cover. Of interest was Sarah's newfound stage confidence, and Struan's reply to the heckler who asked for Family Twee: "do *you* wanna sing it?", he asked back. At which point Stevie launched into his Isobel impression, which he later apologised for, saying he didn't mean to take the piss out of Bel. "Ah, but ya did really", countered Struan, and there was a moment of tension. 3 THINGS WE DIDN'T KNOW: 1) Beans had one year when he was in the top bracket of tax. 2) He is the only member of the band to enjoy such wealth. 3) The Greatest Hits Of Deep Purple is Deep Purple's best album. Did anybody else see that they've been nominated for a MERCURY PRIZE! I shouldn't think they'll win it though, and to be honest, probably best if they don't, although at 12/1 it's probably worth putting a bet on. My money's on Ty, at 10/1, in case anybody cares...

Message-ID: <003401c46e60$67c695c0$27e130d5@oemcomputer> The BBC would like to know who you think will win the Mercury Music Prize. I think it will be Belle and Sebastian, whose recent album 'Dear Catastrophe Waitress' has some intriguing lyrics and a lovely Legoland sheen.

This was the best Belle and Sebastian gig I have ever seen. 2. I danced for two whole hours and spilt someone's pint all over their face. 3. Whoever you were, I am very sorry. 4. Oddly, when I looked around myself, even during the most danceable numbers, very few people were dancing. I thought this a strange thing. 5. You Made Me Forget My Dreams and Belle and Sebastian were excellent, and much better than the EP versions. 6. All of the audience participation worked for once; the very scottish girl who sang to Dirty Dream knew her stuff, and Legal Man featured a tremendously enthusiastic Brazillian man who ran about onstage taking photos of everyone. He reminded me of Jordi. 7. The banter was great, especially all of the stuff about Chris being in a higher tax band. 8. Somerset House is lovely. 9. I think people hated me for dancing so much. 10. Stuart wore a bowler hat, and at one point he took his top off. 11. I didn't meet any Sinister people at the gig at all, even the ones who I thought I was bound to recognise. 12. Stuart seemed quite upset when he forgot the lyrics at the end of You Made Me Forget My Dreams. 13. After Stevie sang Family Tree, there was, as Sam so aptly puts it, "a moment of tension". 14. During the gig, a man was talking loudly to his mates about "batting averages, extraordinarily. When I was dancing I might have accidentally punched him.

I would like to think that I am a straightforward guy who wouldn’t endorse cheating, vote fixing or anything underhand like that. So I was a little puzzled when someone who used to live here, & who is well-enough known in B&S circles to be mentioned by surname from the stage at B&S’s Somerset House show on Saturday posted this on his board: “Click here to register a vote: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/polli...ok=ok&vote=Vote Note that once you have voted, it will place a cookie with details like these (the value will be unique to you): Domain: bbc.co.uk Cookie Name: BBC-UID Value: 54b06fedc3373c07926ad317814c8ff86cf2b2c0d0b0a0b21a 056aaa2f61e5d90Mozilla%2f5%2e0%20%28Windows%3b%20U %3b%20Windows%20NT%205%2e1%3b%20en%2dGB%3b%20rv%3a 1%2e7%29%20Gecko%2f20040707%20Firefox%2f0%2e9%2e2 Delete that cookie to vote again Note that you can't disable cookies, because you need it to vote with “ I am not quite sure what it all means but see what you lot can make of it. Minor Reporting Back from the weekend: 1) Whilst sat in a pub by Waterloo Station before Saturday’s gig it occurred to me that it would be highly appropriate for the band to play The Kinks’ top tune ‘Waterloo Sunset’, so I txted someone in the band to request it, & blow me down, there it was later being sung by Our Stevie. Thanks a lot! 2) Whilst swanning around on the terrace of Somerset House at Saturday’s aftershow I spotted Alison Newman!! (For those of you who are not aware of her, she plays a character called Hazel Bailey in favourite TV drama ‘Footballers Wive$’ (see http://www.footballerswives.tv/chs/chs_hb.html ) Nice to see so many Sinister people old and new both before & at Saturday's concert.

My last post was merely a link, so I thought I'd do a longer one. I actually began writing this last night under a different title, but gave up. The title change comes as a result of the song I am listening to at the minute - alas, it's the Stereophonics' version. It's not that it's bad - in fact, it's quite good - but I've grown to prefer the version you hear in The Office (or even Ricky Gervais's version, because you know you'll get a good laugh out of it). Speaking of The Office, I can't believe I didn't realise how good it was until it was almost over. Ah well, I have the DVD of Season 1 now, so that's more than a bonus. "It's like the early part of this decade all over again", said the Dirty Vicar once he saw my last post - which was my first since before Xmas, as a matter of fact. Since then, student life has been and gone (yes, you can now call me a graduate) and I'm trying to find a job. And I've seen countless films, and become a regular contributor to a "Teachers" fansite (To any "Teachers" fans on this list, who are you? There's a lot to like about the show on top of The Boy with the Arab Strap) and...been to three more concerts/festivals. The first one of these was the One Big Weekend here in Derry, and it was fantastic. Got to hear Keane for the first time, and see Franz Ferdinand and Ash at their best. Avril Lavigne wasn't quite at her best, but was still good. (Kelis doesn't do much for me, unfortunately.) Then came the Future Kings of Spain, and then Graham Coxon (both in Belfast's Limelight.) And then...Oxegen. You knew with the line-up that you were going to have a great time if you went there - unfortunately David Bowie's injury made the Darkness headliners by default. (You'll have already guessed, I'm sure, that I'm not a fan of theirs.) Never mind - for me The Divine Comedy, Ash, Franz Ferdinand (come on, Peter Miller, they are not bad), Keane, PJ Harvey, and lesser known acts such as Cathy Davey and Saucy Monky (have any of you heard of them? I hadn't until they supported Tim Burgess last year.) made the weekend memorable. But Belle & Sebastian's set was ahead of them all. I'd no idea they were playing, even, until very close to the festival itself. Since I'm feeling quite lazy now, how this gig was for me can be summed up in a paragraph from the article about Oxegen that I wrote for a magazine: "As I relocated to the Green Room at about 11.30 p.m. for Belle & Sebastian, I had no idea what a reception the band was in for. It appears that there are more Belle & Sebastian fans in Ireland than I thought. Changing record labels, along with apparently securing the service of some talented new violinists who I’d previously never seen, has really made a difference. That difference was visible in this extremely lively and even friendly set, demonstrated when leading man Stuart Murdoch invited a girl from the audience to dance to two of the songs on stage. The band gave great performances of songs such as “The Boy with the Arab Strap” (also known as the theme from the popular TV show “Teachers”), “Legal Man”, “Sleep the Clock Around”, “Step Into my Office, Baby”, “I’m A Cuckoo”, and more. Stuart was a real livewire, and Sarah Martin just showed what a versatile musical performer she is. How she has compensated for the loss of Isobel Campbell." Other songs that I remember they performed were: I Fought in a War The Model You Don't Send Me I'm sure there's more, but honestly, I can't remember. Simply talking about this reminds me of what DV posted about earlier - "the early part of this decade". And in a way, seeing B & S at Oxegen brought me back to December 2001 (yes, I remember the month) and that fantastic B & S gig at the Mandela Hall, which wasn't long before that Xmas. Makes me wish they'd do something like that again in these parts, later in the year... Now, I hope those of you that were able to see them in London (and that includes James, plus Sam Walton and a few others who posted recently) had just as great a time. What I also didn't mention was just how good an album DCW is. Actually, it's close to great. It took time to grow on me, but don't all albums? Big shouts to Amy Skelton, DV, James and any of the Irish Sinister posse that I haven't mentioned. And although I defended Franz Ferdinand earlier, rest assured that I don't intend to vote for them regarding the Mercury Music Prize. Take care all Psi ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!

I am considering writing another one of those but I am not sure whether to. I think not, for a change. I am right now sitting at my boyfriend's computer in his hometown, which is three hours north of Stockholm. I came here yesterday evening and I'll be going home midday on Saturday, when he has started working again. Me? Oh... I don't "do" working in the summer. No, I always rely on getting by anyways because I'm always too late when I'm looking for a summer job and all the good ones are taken. Telemarketing, can you really imagine it? "Yeah? You don't like me calling? AH! SOD OFF to you TOO you rude annoying person!GoodBYE! ". No, I don't think I'll be good with that kind of stuff. And so I survive on the heaps of money I recieved from various relatives on my birthday. AH, it's good to be me in those situations. On Monday, my sister Hedvig, myself and Amanda had a sister night in her apartment, which meant buying many assorted snacks and sweets and renting a total of like 4,5 hours of sex and the city, and it was a nice evening indeed. The day after, my sister took a whole 36-picture roll of film on me and Amanda in black and white. The weather was SO lovely, non-stop! Seeing as we here in Sweden are expersiencing are coldest summer in about 70 years or something, I say: YAY! I wore my new skirt with dots in lots of colours, it is quite nice if I may say so myself. After that, my sister and my mum and I went to IKEA (yes, i realise irony in this as I am Swedish and this is one of the things we are mostly known for) and I bought a nice full-lenght mirror and some stuff to repair my bedside lamp. I felt pretty responsible, most of the times spent there I just end up with a tiny stuffed animal that costed 10 SEK, which is like 70 p or about $1, just because I feel so bad for them. Anyways, I'm seeing the pictures on Saturday, it'll be so much fun, we really tried to get some arty poses and variation. We'll use them for our demo, website etc. etc. Ok, I know I said I'd be serious but I just thought of the BEST pictures we took, a ha ha ha ha, they were so stupid. We went to this wee patch of green grass, supposedly some sort of "park", beside the big road with buses and all. We saw two buffalo statues (logical motif since in Sweden, there are no buffalos. maybe reindeers in the north but that's about it), one big chasing a small. Don't you think we had to climb up on them? Indeed we did! I had to sit on the pervy one with yucky stone buffalo private parts, which Amanda just stood and pointed at, laughing hysterically at for quite some time afterwards. It was one of those moments that just feels so bizarre and great. And thank you Richard for the nice compliment about Hit it, Raoul! That's just the crappy version, there is a much better one so you're just getting STARTED my friend! Myself and Amanda have also decided to have a nice name for the collective of duos and solo projects that surround us. SO, people, now we are PussyKat Recordings, the home of successful* duo Kat, my own solo project Good Scout Promise and our sort-of-instrumental laid-back band Look, it's a squirrel!. Yes, it does feel good to have a name to summarize it. And isn't it just so CHEEKY, dear readers? PussyKat, because the main band is Kat, and we're chyx only (not on purpose, er, in the bands that is not generally in life, we're very happy about our womanhood) and so... ha ha... geddit? geddit? huh? huh? You'd THINK it's kinky but it's NOT really, so the person reading it ends up feeling like a PERV! Funny, eh? Eh? ... what can I write after that paragraph? I feel drained. I am hungry and without serious thoughts. Uh, I even bore myself sometimes. Well now, my dears, I shall socialize with my boyfriend, he gave me great gifts for my birthday, tons of nice 7" singles, including one B&S, two spearmint, two interpol, one adam green... etc. etc. and a spoken word record with my favourite comic drawer, teitur's album and I am kloot, his favourite band. Ahh. Bless. So, thank you and goodbye, please send me a li'l somethin' just so I know what you are all up too. Sadly, or just nicely, I really am wondering.

I am still looking for ideas for a midwest meet up so if anyone lives or will be visiting in the next couple of months let me know. in other news... If anyone has yet to listen to the band The Arcade Fire do yourselves a favor. they are brilliant!!! and i don't toss around that word alot. I saw them in june with The Unicorns and they were so amazing that they blew the poor Unicorns away. I can't even exlplain their sound it is so complex and beautiful. they have a keyboard, an organ, xylophone, violin, guitars, bass, drums and tambourines. It is glorious!! they have an ep out that you might be able to get from their web site. The mix is not that great though and it does not do their sound justice. this september though they are releasing an album out on merge records. keep a look out. and if they come through your time make sure you check them out. ok, thats enough for me. farwell boys and girls. time for me to get some lunch. xoxo, leyda _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?

I have a bad cough and just don't feel like going out or doing anything remotely strenuous. If things don't improve I might have to give work a miss tomorrow, which is a pain coz I've been out of the office for a couple of days on a course and also coz I'm supposed to be selling tickets for our Summer Party (which is this Friday) and it's not exactly helpful that there'll be locked in my cupboard where no-one can get them. I started to feel unwell last night at the Pleasure Unit at Bethnal Green. It was an all-dayer organised by our sister/rival (delete to taste) forum Bowlie, and/but (ditto) there were lots of sinisters there, including Dimitra Daisy, Dirty Vicar, Rener, Paul Healy, Annie Tremp and Stefano. The venue was incredibly hot and although I enjoyed the two bands I'd really gone to see (Language of Flowers and Wintergreen) and chatting to the aforementioned people the rest of it was a bit crap really...there was a Blondie tribute band called Brunettie (I kid you not) and I can only recall one song played by the djs which made me inclined to check out the band in question (A Certain Smile, which I have been unable to find on google). Dimitra gave me a little booklet of Friends of the Heroes writing which has been lifting my spirits somewhat on this damp and dreary afternoon, but I can't help thinking about something that has been making me sick with worry over the past week, for which, read on. I'm really worried about a friend of mine called Ruth who was supposed to be accompanying me to the Somerset House gig last Sunday. At about four o'clock that afternoon I receieved a text message from her to say that she was unable to come as she was in hospital under observation. I tried to ring her back but was unable to as her phone was by then switched off (you're not supposed to have mobiles switched on in hospital anyway) and as I don't know anyone else who knows her - we met via Idelberry's Corduroy Smoke yahoo group - I have been unable to find out any more info. I tried calling at her house on Monday and yesterday but there was nobody in. I can only hope that she has recovered now and that I'll hear from her soon....arrghhhh. I totally agree with what Emma Cooper said about gigs in US bars. Making gigs over 21 only is an incredibly stupid thing to do. Fortunately the main venue here in Oxford has a more enlightened attitude, with quite a few gigs which are 16+ or even 14+, which start really early (which means they can slot in a club nite afterwards). I understand large numbers of people don't have a lot of time for Your Cover's Blown, seeing it as some kind of sell-out or whatever, but I really like it. Even if you don't like the style of the song, he lyrics are still up there (the 'houses' and 'mouses' couplet notwithstanding). I've had it on repeat on the stereo and have been humming it everywhere. Legal Man was *as big* a departure from the band's previous work, but I don't recall that causing so much fuss (although that might be just my bad memory, maybe a trawl through the archives is in order).

You know how she is sometimes. Try posting under one of your real names - retrosec or idleberry - and she might be less confused. It's a bit like Eminem, Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers. Sadie always gets confused between them, too. Why they keep on posting letters to her house, I don't know. Hoping to steal some reflected celebrity, perhaps. << >the rest of it was a bit crap really...there was a Blondie tribute >band called Brunettie (I kid you not) That was my band.

And somehow that really impressed me. It reminded of like what when The Pinefox suddenly starts replying to posts from 1997. We had been to see Belle and Sebastian at Somerset House, and we all agreed that they were more betterer at the exclusive Real Fans Only gig at the Islington Academy. Mooro didn't even bother getting a set-list. I saw Kenneth P. Chu with a massive plant pot sized pint of lager. He looked very happy. It was a bit like a scene from Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men. There were hardly any twee people. There was hardly any dancing. On his way out, Carsmile was brandishing some kind of glow-in-the-dark radioactive anal probe. Before the gig I went to the pub where I met some listees past and present. They seemed like a nice bunch. Warrander John came, but I didn't recognise him because his glasses seem to have grown. I didn't recognise Lucy either at first. Cabbage knocked someone's pint over with his arse. The Pinefox talked to me about Lloyd Cole's forthcoming comeback. I walked over Waterloo Bridge with Lixi. Before the gig I went round the back to try and get Stuart's autograph, but when they came out the bouncers put some big fences across so I couldn't get to him. One bloke told him not to play his new single because it's shite, so Stuart flicked him the vees. Another bloke, possibly under the influence of plant pots of beer, squealed in excitement. All in all it was like a cross between The Beatles at Shea Stadium and Polanski's 'The Pianist', with me in the Adrian Brody role. I am glad they did Mooro's request, but I think they should have worked it out beforehand. Watching people work stuff out is not very interesting, unless it is 'Être et Avoir', which I haven't seen anyway. What with working songs out and Stuart's philosophical monolgues it sometimes felt like being trapped in Jean-Luc Godard's nouvelle vague masterpiece 'One Plus One'. Actually it was very good. All that was missing was The Brunetties. I am just trying to make it sound bad to cheer up all the poeple who couldn't go. After the gig, Mooro's gaydar was in good working order, as he swiftly spotted the big predatory lesbian manager from 'Footballer's Wives'. I saw her kissing a man, so maybe she has been cured. It was probably my presence that did it. Sunday was similar, only no Mooro :-( I thought the performance was better and there were fewer drunks. I didn't see Robin Stout. For a moment I thought the Brazillian chap dancing on stage *was* Jordi. It was like the 'Puttin' On the Ritz' scene from 'Young Frankenstein'. My attempts to get pulled up on stage came to nought. I enjoyed watching the security staff dither when asked to help heave indie kids up onto the very high stage though. I mean, I just wonder what the insurance postion would be if they did their backs in giving a leg-up to a rhythmically challenged heffalump from Basingstoke? We haven't had much Reporting Back from Australia.

Well, finally, after all this time, the dream's been realised: Belle & Sebastian on home turf. And it just about lived up to what we were all hoping for, I reckon. I'm not sure it was *quite* as amazing as the last time I saw them (Hammerstein Ballroom, NYC, May 2002), but that's probably at least partly because that was also the first time I'd seen them, which always tinges one's view somewhat. I'm not good at this whole "reporting back" thing, and I don't have a setlist or anything, so forgive me if my impressions are all a bit jumbled. Firstly, the venue. They played down at the Palais in St Kilda, which is one of my least favourite parts of town, but the venue itself was a beautiful old theatre, which the band themselves, and most of the punters, seemed to really like. Except it was cold in there. Really cold. Perhaps that was to make them feel at home - I'm not sure. They started off a bit wonkily, I'm afraid. Stuart and Chris both owned up to making a lot of mistakes, but I'm sure they weren't the only ones. The first few songs were shaky, and the atmosphere in the room was terrible. Everyone was sitting perfectly still, and it was starting to look like it might be a bit of a long night. Stuart forgot most of the words to I'm Waking Up To Us, and my missus (bless 'er) said "that's alright, Stuart - I don't think your recent songs are that memorable, either." There were a couple of good tunes in the early going, though, including Pastie and Slow Graffiti, which I didn't really expect to hear. A pleasant surprise. The first song they really nailed was Don't Leave The Light On Baby, which seemed to warm the audience up properly for the first time, although they didn't really spring to life until The Boy With The Arab Strap, at which point it seemed the gig really turned a corner, and everything was going to be alright. They played a couple off Tigermilk (My Wandering Days Are Over and I Don't Love Anyone), which were two of the better songs of the night. IDLA was thanks to a group of people down the front who'd made a spiffy banner requesting the song. They were asked up on stage during that song, in order to prance around and wave the banner about a bit. Fair enough. We got a fair bit of stuff off DCW, including: Dear Catastrophe Waitress Step Into My Office, Baby If You Find Yourself Caught In Love Piazza, New York Catcher I'm A Cuckoo Asleep On A Sunbeam Stay Loose I think we also got You Don't Send Me, but I can't quite remember. So that's most of them. I think everyone was a bit surprised that we didn't get Wrapped Up In Books or Your Cover's Blown, actually. I was pleased they didn't attempt Roy Walker, but disappointed not to hear If She Wants Me, which is the best of the new material, I reckon. I think I was expecting a bit more of a Greatest Hits show, as they've not been here before, but (as was rightly pointed out to me by Sinister's very own Lawrence Mikelsen, one of nature's gentlemen) the new stuff sort of suits the way the band plays live these days a bit better anyway. It all made sense on the night. Most of the new songs were delivered really well, with special mention going to Asleep On A Sunbeam. It was an absolute pearler. Off IYFS we got Seeing Other People and Judy And The Dream Of Horses, which I think were the only two. Both were fairly tidy renditions, if memory serves. And off TBWTAS I think we only got Simple Things and The Boy With The Arab Strap. For my money, those were actually the best two songs of the night, with the possible exception of the encore, which I'll get to a bit later. As for FYHCYWLAP, I already mentioned Don't Leave The Light On, Baby, and I think the only other song we got was The Wrong Girl. And it stank. Something just didn't work about it live - it was the worst song of the night by a mile (and I really like the recorded version), and the only genuine stinker. I think the only song they played off of Storytelling was that harmonica thing that Stevie does. They opened with it. I can never remember what it's called. EP songs included Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie, Jonathan David, I'm Waking Up To Us, Slow Graffiti and Legal Man. Oh, and Lazy Line Painter Jane, which was the encore. They were going to play something else, but I think someone over on the other side of the theatre was shouting for LLPJ, and Stuart acquiesced. And he got a bunch of loons up on the stage, including one girl who claimed to be able to sing Monica Queen's parts. Actually I think her friends volunteered her. I couldn't really hear. In any case, it turns out that she/they was/were actually right! She was only a little waif of a thing, but she absolutely nailed it. It's not an easy song to sing (we've all had a crack at it in the shower - admit it), but I reckon she was all over it. Kudos. Then, when the stage invaders were wandering off, Stuart grabbed hold of one of them and gave her a kiss on the cheek, and started talking to her. He then announced that it was the girl from the cover of LLPJ, and seemed surprised to see her. I'm not sure if he was telling the truth or just on the pull. He took her backstage, in any case. Best of luck to him. Oh, and the novelty cover was a bit of a weird one. They took ages to decide, and I don't think they'd heard of many of the classic Oz Rock tunes that people were shouting out. Someone asked for the Stones, though, which set Stevie off, so that's what we got. They made a pretty good fist of Under My Thumb, in the end. I was particularly impressed with how quickly Chris figured out his part, which didn't sound very easy. He was playing a Glockenspiel or a Xylophone or something. One of those ones you hit with little wooden sticks. I can never remember the difference. As for the band: Stuart was actually fairly personable, if a little embarrassing at times. I guess that's part of his charm, though, eh? His voice actually seems to have gotten even better, but his dancing hasn't. Stevie is, like, totally the man. Stage presence, rock moves, and that occasional bit of jittery leg thing that he does to let you know that he's *really* into it. And as far as his voice and his guitar playing goes, I don't think he dropped a stitch all night. No complaints here. When the band implodes, his'll be the side-project to keep an eye on, I reckon. Sarah was on fine form, I reckon. She seems to be able to play any instrument she picks up, and her voice was spot-on. She still looks a little nervous sometimes, like when she fiddles with her water bottle while singing, but there's no need for it. Asleep On A Sunbeam was one of the high points of the night - no question. Richard only ever seems to use about half his kit, and grimaces a lot, but he gets the job done. He was the quiet achiever of the night. Chris really impressed me, actually, and not just because he shaved his moustache off. When he was done, I'm pretty sure those ivories *stayed* tickled. Mick's another one of these annoying sorts who seems to be able to play anything he picks up, including bass guitar and a couple of different sorts of horns. I tried to play the trumpet once, and it's fucking impossible. He also seems like kind of a cool guy. I'd have a beer with him. Oh, and he sometimes has to shake one of those little plastic eggs, and he looks so *serious* about it. He even had to shake a large one in one hand (more like an orange than an egg, really), and a small one in the other hand, and had a different tempo going for each. I reckon that's pretty hard to do. Hats off, Mick. Which leaves Bob. I remember reading something that the band or one of their elected representatives said about replacing Stuart David, and it was something fairly dismissive along the lines of "playing bass isn't exactly rocket science", which made me think that this new Bob character might just be a bit of a monkey, hired for his long locks and tight jeans. Not so. He actually had it going on, I reckon. And not just on the bass. He played the strummy guitar bits on Piazza, and he also plays the noodly guitar wig-out in Stay Loose. Who knew? He's a bit of a dark horse, that one. Oh - one last thing: it's just as well that football (soccer) is Stuart's sport of choice. He and Stevie were trying to be slick at one point, and play a bit of catchie with a tambourine. They both fucked it up royally. And to think, Stuart referred to our national sport, and Melbourne's official religion (the AFL) as "Gay-FL". It's just as well B&S fans are all pasty, twee weaklings. If he'd have said that in any other room in Melbourne that night, the clumsy sod would have had his shit fucked up, I reckon. Bulk love, -Vanilla Flavoured David.

My lovely friend and I arrived at the Enmore Theatre at about 8pm, expecting to see Architecture in Helsinki kicking off their set, but they obviously started earlier and we only caught three or so songs. They seemed a bit boring though, which was disappointing as I like their records. Their last song (The Owls Go) was pretty good. This was my first time to the Enmore (and first gig in Sydney for that matter, excluding a very nice instore appearance by The Fiery Furnaces), and I was impressed. It has very nice acoustics and a great atmosphere. Between sets we got some drinks, then I went off to the loo, not expecting the belles to start til 9pm. When I re-entered the unisex environment the band were on stage and Stuart was mentioning something along the lines of the band were a little tired and couldn't really remember the previous night's Melbourne show. I just got back in the theatre in time to see them kick off proceedings with I Fought In a War, after which Stuart made the following joke: Did you hear about the Gay Sailor? He steamed into Sydney. It didn't really get any laughs, probably because no one knows what steaming is (including me). I assume it is a gay reference? Anyhoo, B&S then played the following songs (in a very jumbled order and probably some omissions. and maybe songs that they didn't actually play at all - it all gets so confusing...): Step Into My Office Baby The Model Wrapped Up In My Books If She Wants Me The Fox in the Snow The State I Am In If You Find Yourself Caught In Love Like Dylan In the Movies She's Losing It You're Just a Baby Asleep On A Sunbeam Stay Loose Le Pastie De La Bourgeouise Travellin' Light Judy and the Dream of Horses Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying The Boy With the Arab Strap I'm A Cuckoo Legal Man Sleep the Clock Around A very different set to the Melbourne show it would seem. They took a little while to get, the first part of the show was a bit flat (except for Stuart, who was dancing like a kid on red cordial for the whole show. I haven't seen anyone dance like him since, bizarrely enough, Billy Bragg). Wrapped Up In Books and If She Wants Me were my highlights of the first half. If She Wants Me was entirely cool and groovy actually, probably my favourite song of the night. Fox in the Snow would have been good but for a nasty mix which saw the bass buzz everything else into oblivion. Everyone cheered when Stuart forgot the words to The State I Am In, and again when he threw the microphone into the air and unsuccessfully tried to catch it (adding strength to David Hewitt's suggestion that Stuart stick to sports where you can't use your hands). If you Find Yourself Caught In Love was performed with huge amounts of gusto and saw the band blow out the cobwebs, move up a gear, take it to a higher level, and other such cliches). Stay Loose was equally danceable, and Le Pastie (a pleasant surprise) really got the kids moving. Sarah got perhaps the biggest cheer of the night when she stepped up for Asleep On A Sunbeam, and she totally deserved it. She was just spot on all night, seemingly happy to stay out of the spotlight but when she steps up it is pure brilliance. I think she is my favourite member now. Halfway through the set was cover time. After a fair amount of crowd and band interaction they had an attempt at Take On Me. No one knew the words, or the music, but Stevie figured out the chords in quick time and the band doo-ed and daa-ed their way to the first chorus, which turned into a big sing-along. This was a really cute warm fuzzy moment. Then they asked for more cover suggestions, someone yelled AC/DC, and so it was. Problem Child was performed in true Oz Rock style, except it kind of ended up sounding like an 80's indie tune (with Stuart's vocals. Stevie was lead guitaring himself silly and Bob epitomised the cool bass player (as he did all evening). The second half of the set was a little patchy, but that may have been caused in part by my aching feet (I'd been wandering around Sydney and surroundings in the week leading up to the gig). The highlight was Arab Strap, which turned the Enmore into a great big disco. Legal Man ended the main set, before the crowd stamped their way to a brilliant encore - and gig closer - in Sleep The Clock Around. About a dozen lucky folk got to have a dance on stage and have photo's taken. And then, kind of suddenly, the lights came on and it was time to go home. My overall impression - fantastic in some parts, a little disappointing in others. At times it was a little close to listening to the CD for my liking, a bit too polished and clean, but there were plenty of moments that were exactly what I'd hoped for. I also think the gig was a little tainted by the way I perceive Belle and Sebastian. This could end up sounding completely ridiculous, but their music is really personal and intimate for me, and seeing them with a couple of thousand other people felt a bit like dating Kylie Minogue but having to share her with ten other people. You have the sheer delight of "woo I'm dating Kylie!", but it is tainted by the ten other blokes that also get a piece of her. Entirely selfish I know, but I'm always asking for more (more) more (more). looking forward to hearing other Melbourne and Sydney experiences (the exact set list would be great!), and some Brisbane reports (this means you Alex!). love, terry here's what i think: http://naivetysucceeds.blogspot.com caitlin and terry's sinister recipe tree archives: http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/sinifood/ -- _______________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

And again I have cursed it though it was far too gone in all ways to have mattered. But at least it's still summer. I've been riding my bike a lot, quite soberly, and too often at dusk when all the bugs come out, making me wish I had a windscreen for my face, or at least my mouth (blargh, bugs.) But dusk is still a good time for bike riding, though I know from elementary school visits from traffic police that it is also the worst time because the low light plays tricks on drivers' eyes, kids, and they can't see you as you chase a ball into the street or ride your bike wildly, hands off handlebars, all over your neighbourhood. Yes, I know it, but there's still a thrill in being a fast-moving shadow in the haze of a slow summer evening. Death and bugs aside for a moment at least. But right, I like the reporting back. It's all Good Ol' Days and strange. It got me thinking about the first time I saw B&S in 2001, how it was quite nice but something was off - partly that what had been private was suddenly being shared by a theatre full of people (yes, as you've said) and partly because the show happened two days after the world trade centre attack. I recall thinking, as more and more people joined their friends last-minute in front of me in line (where I had arrived much earlier. Much.), that we'd all be more aware of, er, humanity or at least other people as thinking feeling things. But no, people prefered to bristle rather than smile, pose rather than recognize a commonality. And maybe it was all too big a show - too much spectacle and hype, too big a theatre with all its velvet seats and gold trim and not enough audience to fill it either with bodies or pomp. I enjoyed myself, but despite so much. Then in the spring I saw B&S in Toronto, just before flying to England for the first time. And it was one of the greatest shows I'd ever seen - all fun and excitement, friends and dancing, and a cheerful, confident band (plus The Aisler's Set!) It was the starter's pistol to my holiday and freakin' hell did I run. I supposed I'm talking about the Alignment of the Universe or Right Place, Right Time things. Or I'm talking about getting older and trying not to look back too hard on the past, but to see it as an environment of which I was an active part. But then, maybe I've been setting up a bizarre environment for myself right now that affects my backwards view: tonight I've been writing articles about grad student "life" (how do I rope myself, hangman's knots and all, into these things?), reading "Watchmen" (how long has this taken me? I read the first quarter six months ago and have ripped through the rest in the past two days.), reading Foucault and Foucault criticism (ooh, ah, ooh, etc.), watching 10 grindingly dull minutes of "Pearl Harbour" on the CBCtv (and assuming that if a bomber plane scene can be dull then the rest of the movie must be unwatchable crud), and unsuccessfully defragging my aged computator. An environment for Nostaligia Disaster, I know, I know. I saw Camera Obscura a few days ago too, for the first time. I started listening to them just over two years ago, so you see how this ties together? It does (/me makes complicated tying motion with fingers). The show was really lovely though a lot of people (esp the French-speakers) had a tough time with the Scottish accents. Which just added to the overall greatness, of course. They played all the right songs and ended on "80s Fan", so what else can you ask for? (Except the strength to not bluddy cry during that last one - what the hell? These connections our brains make between songs and people and times and things can be crippling even to women of steel such as me.) I also rode my bike there. I did not ride my bike to England in the early spring though. But I did see several Sinister types again, and that was nice. This time the holiday did not ressemble a race, nor did any grand event begin it; it just seemed to happen, and a lot of it happened under cloudy skies. I would never complain about clouds or rain though, not coming from where I come from, and I would never complain about the weather when given the opportunity to go to England or anywhere else. No, I guess I mention it because the sky sets a mood that you can move in and out of but not really escape (it being the sky). This sky made me feel shadowlike, as dusk does, but slow and pensive. So there I was, a slow and pensive shadow moving through London on foot or by bus (no bikes, none), falling far too much in love with the A-Z (does it not seem when you have no answers that something that appears to have them all is most saviour-like? Though I now know that our salvation couldn't possibly be in the A-Z, at least not the A-Z mini version.), and generally letting things happen. Like going to Brighton on a stormy day, getting drunk on more than one occassion, getting only slightly lost on more than one occassion, looking at art, getting a hate on for the Collection of History in Old Musty Places Far Away from Where History Happened, doing some dancing, cooing at my friend's new and amazing baby, getting rained on, reading, eating haggis, making a conscious effort to Think Less, Feel More or something silly like that (which never works, not even when watching back to back episodes of Nick and Jessica: Newlyweds.) All necessary and good. A while ago Ken C. wrote about karaoke and I thought: How badly do I want to karaoke to "Stay Loose" with Ken Chu? Very, very badly. I'm a good back-up singer, Ken. Consider it. The last thing I karaoked was "Sweet Child O' Mine" (it is a standard), before that "Little Red Corvette" (which a friend told me afterwards was like an "indie-rock spoken word version". haha!) I wish my local karaoke nite had more indie pop. And by "more" I mean "any indie pop at all". (sorry to any I offended with the use of indie-pop and indie-rock. I remember when the debates raged for days over such terms. Those times have passed. What have we moved on to now?) No, really, what have we moved on to now? I'm going to listen to some music, ride my bike, read things and do as much frolicking-in-summer as I can while you compose your thoughts into email versions much more succinct and concrete than this beast I'm about to hit send on despite so much.

After a spent spinning around essentially any single country in Europe, essentially to justify the fact I have been ripping of money (my not well deserved at all payroll) our of (swindled) EU taxpayer, and rather stationary year in Lundun town, in which I've swindled the UK taxpayer instead, they have decided to board me on plane for another commonwealth partner: Canada! Actually just to take stress the fact that I can't speak a single word of French apart from Rene Arnoux, Alan Prost and La Pastie de la Burguisie (although all of them pronounced with a quite tick Italian accent) I've been shipped, I guess is the right term considering the budget problem of the college I'm allegedly working for, to Montreal, Quebec, on the last week of August. That makes the case for a couple of extra week to be spent there, before being shipped back as a damaged good. I think one of reason I keep on doing the work I do, don't ask exactly what it is because especially at present have exactly no clue, is that the people **in the field** get together in some lovely location. Few years ago, the university I used to work for gave me the chance to spend some times in Australia, and that was kind of a dream of youth coming trough. Most of people I talk to after that was quite disappointed by the fact I have spent more time looking at penguins rather then kangaroos and koalas, but they should have expected from me to do something bizarre al least. Talking about childhood dream, I think Canada as always been the other place I wanted to visit, must be because of all of the Jack London's books I've read as toddler, and now I feel quite excited at the idea I am going to be there in just a few weeks. Although is not going to be winter and I won't be travelling on the infinite snow and ice landscape riding a sledge. I am clearly attracted by open spaces. That is probably why I wanted to be a sailor. Or an astronaut. I guess everybody in the late seventies wanted to be an astronaut wearing a silver suit and riding a space rocket. I don't know how I got think I would have enjoyed playing the game of being a **scientist**, is it true I am? not quite sure Anyway I think a shiny silver suit would look much better then a lab coat, even if some people can wear them with a certain class, I might admit, I am not one of them. [The case of murder classic] You go to conferences and sent abstract of what you have done in the years (what I have I done?). Some people get selected to talk. THEY get selected to give a talk, some other get selected to provide entertainment, some for both. Well, entertainment generally is not meant to be provided by conference attendees, but it seems to be the case this year One of the guy I briefly work with, in France, without managing to learn the language.. oh yes, I can say Renault and Citroen too has been asked to play with his blues band (?!?) after the lectures probably the only thing he remembered about myself were some odd stomp-boxes I use to built in the cellar. Apart from a rather odd look, quite scientific I'd say, more then everything else I have done in so-called-academia for several years now. To cut a long story short I received this unexpected email asking if I wanted to play some tunes as well. That would make me an active part of the conference for once, at least till a gave up the bad habit of shouting at speakers oooppsss . I am not sure if that I REALLY going to happen, but if so, my plan is to play, well essentially destroy, a few B&S "classic" well thought that some people from the Montreal sister posse might have liked to have a good laugh at me getting essentially completely shit-faced in front of the rest of the **scientific community** and if you'll only sing alone I will be happy then. Although I fear my Ph.D supervisor would deny he has ever known me, despite having the name on the same papers. " he should be an homonymous" He'll said. I'll deny I know him either. [Somerset House] I went to the fist gig at the Somerset house, a couple of weeks ago. As soon as THE band stated to play the fist couple of songs from Tigermilking I thought I was going to faint if they were going to do it all, especially Electronic Renaissance, which would be fantastic to hear on stage for once [I never had the chance to attend to any of the so-called "golden age" performance]. Despite a tiny bit of disappointment for a few seconds I really had a great time dancing around in choreographic style and waving multicoloured fluorescent sticks for most of the gig. I think that the 2-pint glasses they were serving at the bar were geniuses as well. We've lost Mr. Chu at a certain point, I hope he didn't drown in one of them as he allegedly has a few. Well, actually what's the point of queuing at the bar two times when you can have two pints in a go? Well, 4 or 6 depending on the degree of juggling, acrobatic handling etc etc [My Recent Record Addictions] I don't know if you're really interested in that, but though it might be nice scare some of recent, and less recent really, passion for a few bands. Some of them have really rocked a couple of months of mine at least. So here they are: I had the new Bonnie Prince Billie (singing Greatest Palace Music) for a while but haven't listen to it properly for a long while. I suddenly discovered how much I really love the records just a couple of weeks ago. Having literally fell in love with the first couple of Palace records, especially the fist one (Palace brothers), I found it nice but a bit strange to hear the same songs in the a more complete and flavoured rich arrangement, almost in a sort of traditional Nashville-style country, but as I stated to enjoy that, it became addictive without many doubts, I think, Will You Miss Me When I Burn, is one of the best song of the last 20 years.. will almost sound good if I do play that in the morning and with a bad hangover, If I could ever manage that. System Officer. This is a quite obscure record. I can't remember having seen it around much, or ever reviewed. Was stupidly attracted by the cover at a Pinback gig and decided I might have like it well I DO! So it wasn't silly at all. It is 3 Mile Pilot back in action. It is only an EP, but the song called system officer (just for a change) is sort of stuck to my Cd player and can't really dare to take it off makes me dance especially when tooth-brushing in the morning. The Dudley Corporation supported Pinback and they were absolutely grand. They rocked nearly more then usual, they have got class! Mclusky. The difference between me and you is that I'm not on fire. I was a bit suspicious when the new Mclucky record came out Do Dallas was a masterpiece, hardly difficult to be repeated. In fact the new record despite the usually sharp and clever Steve Albini I don't think is quite as good as the one before. Although it is anyway superb. The opening song 'without MSG I am nothing' is a bliss of genius. Geoff Farina. The Usonian Dream Sequence. This is a rather old record, is about 3-5 years old, or something like that. Remember of that because of a song called 'not about a birthday' in the middle of our special night if you'll leave it will be alright, I'm never really satisfied, a slow kiss and a bottle of wine, doesn't make everything Ok, so I am leaving anyway, hope that you don't mind it was two of the people I care most for a couple of weeks ago, and by chance, out of the blue, I remembered the song and how much I liked and listened to this record when it came out, should have been more or less the same time as BWTAT if I'm right I had to listen to that as well in succession. And Finally my favourites for a couple of years, essentially THE EXPLOSION IN THE SKY!!! The are a revelation. On stage is a sort of half mystic experience. I think they have the best song titles for instrumental music as well and record title as well. Those who tell the truth shall die, does who tell the truth shall live forever. I think the second part of the sentence is true, although often happens that they rather die: the first songs shouldn't have been anything but 'greet death': I'll do, of course! on the 'the earth is not a dead cold place' got a couple of songs that almost move me to tears each time I hear them 'first breath after coma' and especially 'your hands in mine'. I can't listen to this song without thinking how different my life should have been right today if I were not a bloody idiot. But I am and can just live on memories. And memories for how nice can heart. Is amazing how sometimes there is no need for words to explain things. TEITS seems to know that quite well. Will be back soon on the CD drive when my teeth will unrealistically shiny because of System Officer.

The feature is part of the Ken Bruce show, although as Ken is on holiday, the show is being presented by Stuart Maconie. Guests on "Tracks of My Years" select two songs a day, songs which were either inspirational or which symbolise a special period in their life, then they have a wee chat explaining why they chose them. The Ken Bruce is on between 9.30am and twelve noon. The "Tracks of My Years" feature is "usually" on at around 10.30am I believe." Tailormade for The Pinefox, especially following the revelation that our Struan is also a big Lloyd Cole fan. What's the betting on Felt, Chicago & Andrew Gold making an appearance amongst the artists chosen? Sadly I shall be on my annual hols next week, so would anyone like to record these spots for me, please?

I am, struck. The Ken Bruce thing is just a ken too far. It's near. It's close. It's a close thing. It's a close shave. It's what I listen to when I'm shaving, sometimes. I am excited about the Ken Chus, I mean, the Ken news, and I hope that Auntie Clubnight, I mean, Sister Disco, is, too. It is disappointing that it is not Ken himself who will present the programme, and say something like, "Lovely lad he is, too... from my part of the world, no less... stop sniggering at the back, Bowles". But I feel that Murdoch is on the show partly because Ken B likes B&S so much, now, though I am not sure that Ken B has heard the older songs, I mean, record albums. Really, what exciting news, in a way. And Maconie, not Allinson! It is a shame that N. (D) is not reading this anymore, or he could tell us things about those, DJs. I think that the Lloyd fandom has been known a wee while. In one anecdote, it was Alistower 1996 who discovered it, in a wardrobe. Perhaps he would like to reply, and tell me off, about how I have got it wrong. I am awaiting a post from The Vicar, which will redress the balance, about the DJs, the Brunetties, et al - we like the Kontroversy - and also tell about the medieval walls and things that we explored, recently. That was exciting. The Vicar also has something to say about Rats. I think that Peter J Miller's recent posts have been very well turned. Whether I would have admitted as much in 1998, must remain uninvestigated. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.

I was astonished to discover last saturday that the exact location of this midpoint is in a public house called The Pleasure Unit. I was there last Saturday, attending an event billing itself as The First Bowlie All-Dayer. It went on all day, or at least from shortly after 3.00pm to around 2.00am, and a number of bands played (as did a number of DJs). Visual artists also had their work projected onto a wall for our additional entertainment. There have been some posts on the subject already, I notice, and a frank exchange of views between Mr Hester and the singer in one of the day's bands. Tribute acts are funny old things, and they will always have an inescapable lack of coolness. However, I find even half-decent examples of the genre entertaining, and the Brunettie band were considerably better than that. They provided me with much entertainment. It's an odd experience seeing a band fronted by someone you know from the internet who are actually good and stuff. Blimey. I didn't like all the other acts, but I was very taken with this rockist outfit called Echobeat. They rocked. I like things that rock. I also liked Language of Flowers, but I maybe did not pay them enough attention as I was DJing afterwards, and having to play amazingly good tunes in only 15 minutes was a bit of a trial. I did my best. After that popular band Wintergreen were on. Are they actually popular? Perhaps they are if MarkH came all the way to see them. I liked them, anyway. I also liked Mad Mr Chris Gimour, a Glasgow scenester some of you might know, who sang songs referencing the KLF with lyrics about how bad he is. then there was the Pinefox, who said: > I am awaiting a post from The Vicar, which will > redress the balance, about the DJs, the Brunetties, et > al - we like the Kontroversy - and also tell about the > medieval walls and things that we explored, recently. I like controversy too, but only when it involves other people. The other DJs were great. I particularly liked the chap who played 'Live Is Life', and the version by Opus, not Laibach. What a funny fellow. And as for mediaeval walls, what the Pinefox is talking about is the trip Rener, the Fox, and I all made to Canterbury last week. They have mediaeval walls there. And a cathedral. Whenever the Pinefox saw the cathedral he made an aaa-aaa-aaaaaah noise, like the music in some film about Canterbury he saw recently. The day before we went to The Globe in London, where these women were appearing in a Shakespeare play. One of them was Josie Lawrence, which was nice. The play was Much Ado About Nothing, and it was the usual Shakespeare stuff about misunderstandings and stuff. > That was exciting. The Vicar also has something to say > about Rats. Yes, I am reading a book about rats. They carry disease and spoil your food, but they are also cute little fellows who make great pets. Now I am back home in Dublin, where I am likely to remain for some time. Oh well. bless you all, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.
