From kenneth.chu at xxx.org Mon Mar 1 18:35:47 2004 From: kenneth.chu at xxx.org (kenneth.chu at xxx.org) Date: Mon, 01 Mar 2004 18:35:47 +0000 Subject: Sinister: i'm a boohoo Message-ID: Hello kiddies, how are my wee children? Oh wait you're all like, 45 so I guess I'm kind of half your age, which makes it very difficult for you to be my children. I still haven't bought the I'm a cuckoo single. On the day it was out in the UK I actually went to check at the HMV - no I'm A Cuckoo single to be found. Boo - Dear Catastrophe Waitress was there though, which was pretty good considering the fact that I was at the HMV in Hong Kong at the time! By the time I got back to the USSK it was already past the singles chart deadline so boo. I would quite like to listen to the B-sides though. I guess I got my just dessert for my non-contribution to the single chart effort as I got stuck on level 15 of the I'm a cuckoo game, and that marked the end of my challenge - an hour and a half to go and a score of 8,925,000 to beat! It take longer than an hour and a half to even GET that score. Sigh. No España para Kenny poco. With Spanish like that maybe it's best I don't go I guess. What's "Sturan you rock?" in different languages?? Babelfish suggests (apart from the last one) what the following people might shout during a B&S gig in their home town... Bellé Français: "Sturan que vous basculez !" Sebastiano Español: "¡sturan que usted oscila!" Dame Judy Deutsch: "Sturan, das Sie schaukeln!" Mari Jo Italiano: "Sturan che oscillate!" Anthony Portuguese: "Sturan que você balança!" Seymour Glaswegien: "Och, aye! Sturan ye rock! Och wait ah told ye that just yesterday when ah saw ye! Aye!" These first names are of course from Le Hodottir (which I'd just mistyped as The Hottdottir - Freudian Slip), who brought the SINISTER BABY news, oh my. When's the wee child gonna be joining Sinister then? Bring our average age down. Oh, and now it's 18:29 (yes I take such care in writing sinister posts it takes 8 hours to do each one!), well done, whoever that's won the cuckoo game. (The scores are now reset on the thing - some dude called Something Halfpenny was on top) Ken P.S.: Speaking of Glaswegiens, are there any Glaswegiens up for fun and frolics this weekend? (Fri Sat maybe Sun?) I'm (probably) gonna be there! I'm quite good company for playing football/bowling/computer games with, and resonable company for other activities/non-activities. Or just know of fun places to go? Apart from KARAOKE at the Pewter Pot? ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

I think I'm required to say that when returning after such an absence. I decided to post again after mis-reading Ken Chu's subject line as 'I'm a bonobo', which, if anyone is familiar with the habits of those particular old world monkeys, would be kind of a strange admission on K.C.'s part. I was relieved to find out that his post contained no references to genital-swelling or fruit-aided self-pleasuring (two things which I naturally associate with B&S anyway). So. News-news. I recently managed to download a new copy of '(My Girl's Got) Miraculous Technique', which I still think is one of the best things they've ever done, and which I hope they will record sometime in the near future, and not relegate to holy-grail status like 'Rhoda'. Miraculous Technique may have one of the most progressive beats that B&S have ever put to tape, and I think I like it for that reason primarily, but also for the fact that Stuart says 'snake into your room and be with you the whole night long'- it's just a weird juxtaposition of the vaguely creepy and the romantic. Unlike Other Kevin (jackflaps) I haven't yet gotten Fans Only, but someone at the record store accosted me with a copy the other day and said that I had to, just had to purchase and watch the DVD, because it would change my life. Not that I doubt B&S's reformative abilities, but I get a little freaked-out by rabid salespeople, and *that*, in conjunction with the fact that this record-store-girl was towering over me by about 6 inches and sort of brandishing the DVD much like some of your harder-core religious types will death-grip and point to the Bible, made me wince and recoil, and decide that it would be much better and somehow less shameful to just order the DVD from an online place, or maybe even wear a disguise to the record store, a la the classic 'bashful pervert in an adult bookstore' trope, featured so prominently in so many Charlie Chaplin comedies [this sentence = most commas ever]. Or I could be thinking of something else... Anythough, I'm looking to leave this state sometime soon. With any luck, I'll be back in school come September, afflicting other grad school art-peeps with my harsh and unyielding prose. And, of course, reading and listening to their writing, which, I won't lie to you, I find the prospect of that incredibly frightening. I'd hate to offer criticism of someone's work only to have them tell me that 'oh, hey yeah pal, despite what YOU might think, that actually happened to me- my father spontaneously combusted on the couch beside me, leaving me, my brother, and our dog to fend for ourselves and live off of lollipops and potato chips for three weeks while his remains slowly condensed into a milky sediment on every smooth surface in the house.' Ah-ha. You can see where that would be a problem. Quick recommendations: Sufjan Stevens- Seven Swans. This album is unstoppably good, and worth buying for the title track alone. I'm not usually into polyrhythmic Jesus-folk, but ho boy, this is just that good, and maybe has one of the weirder titled songs (outside of the Liars album) I've seen this year: All the trees of the field will clap their hands. Hot dogs. I had forgotten how nice they can taste, when done properly and when not composed primarily of exotic ungulates. Diamonds: Taste great on toast, surprisingly enough. Hope you're all doing well- Riddled with bad luck, Kevin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Haha I just read kevin's post, erm, yes, my genital is just swell, thank you. As to fruit aided fun I shall keep quiet on that one. This is more about "(My Girl's Got) Miraculous Technique". You see, I keep saying this, but everytime I say it I realise that this may all just be in my head, because I remember someone (could be John Peel!) mentioning that those 4 tracks from that particular Peel session were to be not released ever - I don't know whether I just dreamt that up or if I read it somewhere - I search on sinister archive for this and all I seem to get are, yes, my own emails!! This is weird. I hope this is not true because I heart that track. With regards to the lyrics - so does he definitely say "SNAKE into your room?", I always thought it was "SNEAK", as in like, quietly moving into his bird's room. Although, remembering how Sturan sings in funny accents all the time, he could have been saying anything... maybe it was "Snake into your WOMB the whole night long"!!!! No wonder his legs were weak eh! God this Sturan is a rude one, it's not the first time of course he had the womb obsession... You slept better in a sleeping train in a shed in a station with a TORCH IN A WOMAN'S WOMB TO KEEP YOU WARM TO KEEP YOU COMPANY! Holy shit! I bet his favourite game is womb raider! (remember the Angelina Jolie collaboration??) and remember "Simple Things"? That romantic song about Isobel? With lyrics like If you want me you know where I am I saw your ARSE in a dream and there were blue veins, blue! Oh man! Who needed to know that! Ken p.s. : none of this post is true. p.p.s.: apart from the peel session bit which i don't really know whether it's true or not anymore, and the bit about the genital is true too I guess. ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

There must be a few... We could maybe organize to meet up just before the gig. STEREOLAB To keep the french mood on, yesterday I was in the Stereolab gig in London. I might not understand a word in french (for your knowledge, I just copied the subject line from a stereolab lyrics page) but I loved it! Their set included mainly songs from their last album Margerine Eclipse, which is lovely! HYPE I think I've just started to understand what record-company promotion is all about. Now Belle and Sebastian are getting lots more attention and airplay. I even managed to catch their I'm a cuckoo clip on the telly. Usually this kind of promotion gets on my nerves but with b&s it's just great! It's just more music from your favourite band!!! That's it from me now.

"quoi?" you say, but the sharper among you might remember that back in the mists of time, there used to ANOTHER belle & sebastian, to wit, a young boy and his pyrenees mountain dog! and guess what? i've got it! there's this friend of mine who lives in paris, and when i went to visit her, i got her to take me all around the second-hand book-stalls looking for it, but "peine perdue". and then, yesterday, i got it in the post, from her - a vintage edition from 1965, but almost pristine! (would that be the first edition, anyone?) anyway, so, despite my very halting french, i finished it earlier ce soir (okay, i'm doing the french schtick a little thick, aren't i? but i've been going completely francophile again: it's just been air, francoise hardy, cyann and ben and the extremely cute b&s serge gainsbourg cover from a frrrrrench radio-session that the lovely anna higgins sent me on a wonderful mix - hear isobel singing all aggressively, and then trying to apologise for her french afterwards, while being completely ignored by the dj! i'm even working on descartes at the moment!) and it's really really lovely! (easy to read too - after all, it's a children's book!) already on page 3, they mention a fox! and "belle" is blonde, and huge, and keeps wagging her tail! sebastian is scrawny and vulnerable, but okay, he's only 6 years old and has black hair. okay, i THINK that counts as content! so then i hope i'm entitled to add that i think you should all check out the february 29th project on http://www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk. there's been some really nice entries (i would say "lovely", but a quick review of the above has convinced me that i've rather overused that already!). and we're still looking for people to contribute - that means YOU! go on, be a sport! oh well, back into my (fox)hole! but before i go: i'm so impressed by the amount of musical activity happening with you all! good luck to everyone with a band! and those travelling too! enjoy, and go safely!

Message-ID: Hello Sinistris and Sinistros: I decided to post today in honor of the fair Avalanche of Belle and Sebastian-ry I've been involved with today. It started simply enough: I watched the video for Legal Man on my shiny new DVD player. It's quite keen, and I greatly desire the poof-tastic and decidedly Pertwee-esque clothing worn by the Gentlemen On The Couch. Later, while I was slogging away at work, I saw someone with the same Belle and Sebastian t-shirt I got in Durham when they played there. I get upset for some reason when I see other people wearing it here. I was once ballsy (read: drunk) enough to tell a lad of about 18 at a Manitoba/Broadcast show that he had to TAKE IT OFF* when I saw he had one. Serves him right for snarking into club with booze. Kids today... Anyway. The point there was a man with that shirt at work today. Being a decent sort, I tried to make conversation as a prepared his swill. "Oh" says I "did you see their show here last Fall?" He nodded and told all about how he quite liked DCW but other recent stuff was shit. He specifically mentioned Legal Man as shit. I reeled. Other than that, work was quite awful (our concession to Elderly Employment is exactly why you don't hire the elderly for certain jobs... he's painfully slow, clearly incompetent and typically crotchety) because of George the Moron. To make up for this, I decided to go up to the local record store and buy that copy of the Legal Man 12 inch that's been beckoning for the last few months. To my surprise, they also had in I'm a Cuckoo, so I bought that as well. And I've been listening to them since. And dancing. Since I lack a partner, I've been dancing with Cyd the Stuffed Kitty, who is surprisingly good despite his lack of DDR skillz. But the jury's still out about the new single. Jew's Harps and African choirs? Uhh... Interesting, anyway. I wrote in a post a while ago that never came through. That was a pity, cause it was pretty good. In watching Fans Only, I was clearly reminded of a truth universally acknowledged, that there /had/ to have been some kickin' Catfights between Campbell and Martin round about 1999. Oh yeah. You can SEE it in the Legal Man video. I mean, can you imagine? *TAKE THAT CAMPBELL! or, MARTIN MAKES A JUDO CHOP! That was what my errant post's subject line was. Pretty good, innit? As I was discussing this with the sadly absent Laura Llew, we decided the only fit memorial to these fights were for them to be reconstruced by Jackson and Murdoch. In drag. Preferably as the video for "I'm Waking Up To Us". Band guys, if you're reading this: Take it Up! Run! I give this idea to the ages! Anyway. Enough silliness. Yours, GayJay PS: Does anyone know /why/ Matt Henderson and Patrick Doyle got thanks for making the I'm A Cuckoo video? I've not been in #sinister lately when the Glasgow people are likely to be functioning, and I'm Curious. *And not as people salaciously rumoured, to see a hot boy with no shirt on.

I'm on a bit of a libertines trek at the moment so I will be staying at the France Albion if anyone wants to meet in the adjoining cafe beforehand. I joined this list in late 1998 after being called frumpy by a boy who later questioned his sexuality & moved away and I suppose I'm still unfashionable in my travelling clothes so I probably won't be difficult to spot. And I'll most likely also be reduced to tears at some point as the boy broke my heart (he was a bit of a pervert though, which is true actually of the 2 boys I've met through our lovely b&S) a week after the nyc show I attended and I haven't been to a show since (having followed Interpol around in the interim). It will be five years I'm sure until my next post unless I can bring myself to report back after Paris. hugs to you all, kat of canada +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Cross the line quickly, closing the gates behind you Message-ID: <20040307175154.48177.qmail@web86311.mail.ukl.yahoo.com> Like Jay, I was intrigued by the I'm A Cuckoo single. Just what are Henderson and Doyle up to nowadays? By their names, you'd expect them to have founded a TV detective agency on the west side of Glasgow; but presumably Taggart has that market all buttoned up. Even though he's dead. I was also puzzled by the photos of Stevie and Mick. "At the Usher Hall" it says, but *which* gig? 2002 or 2003? Enquiring minds want to know. You know. I have to say, though, I do like Stop, Look and Listen, even if is a bit of a musical cut-and-shut: the front half of a Simon & Garkfunkel song welded onto the back-end of something by the Shadows. When the second half kicked in, I thought: "Ah! I know this!" Later, I realised it had been the opening track at the Usher Hall gig. 2003, before you ask. Having said that, I also like The Avalanches; so what do I know? Walking around Edinburgh the other day, I spotted someone wearing the same badge as me. The Glasgow Underground one. If I'd realised sooner I'd have waggled my eyebrows in a "look, we're wearing the same badge" type of way. Sadly, I didn't. There was a rumour (I think I read it on Sinister, so it's PROBABLY TRUE) that the girl who gets up on stage to TBWTAS on Fans Only is also wandering around in Edinburgh at the moment. My friend Brian (who is a goth) occasionally does favours for the local Indie Society, and says they have a member who might be her. Wow, I'm connected to celebrity. I fainted when he told me. Honest. Talking of goths, at my local pub quiz I asked if we could have a B&S question, please sir, only this once. The next week, it got to the final round. We were behind, but might just win. The air was tense. The quizmaster said... "Looper..." "Belle and Sebastian!" I whispered to my team-mates. And I was right, of course. And we won. Free beer. Hurrah! To be fair, the quiz bloke had told everybody beforehand that there would be a B&S question somewhere in the quiz's murky depths. I am a tad suspicious of my pub quiz quizmaster. He said something on his Livejournal, which makes me think he is into BDSM. I want to join in, but I don't know how to broach the subject. My local pub is a goth pub, which makes it rather harder, because it means that all the regulars look like they enjoy dark, perverted pleasures when in reality they'd run and hide at just the sight of a whip. (all the cool kids have Livejournals now, you know. Trouble is, so do the uncool ones. The cool kids are greatly outnumbered, but I hear they're planning to fight back.) An awful lot of people out there want to question The Boy Murdoch's sexuality. And they all seem to come to my website to do it. Literally ... um ... *fives* of people reach my website by searching for stuff like "Stuart Murdoch gay", "is Stuart Murdoch gay", "who is stuart murdoch's girlfriend" and so on. There's even the occasional "mick cooke gay", too. I'm sure he isn't. Or they're not. Or something. The last time I saw Doyle, he was wandering a nightclub clutching something that looked rather like an insertable sex toy. But he isn't into BDSM either, dammit! See how confusing the whole thing is. I have to go now. I can hear people having a conversation, and there hasn't been any innuendo in it for *minutes* taraa lovelies, caitlin (with a small c. aheheh.) -- http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <20040308100747.27060.h028.c000.wm@mail.nme.com.criticalpath.net> Hey gorgeous...s... how do you write gorgeous in plural? Ok. Anyways. Hello. I am in school right now. I just had 1,5 h of French, at level 4, which means that they talk a lot of French and all laugh about crazy grammatic faults once in a while, and I sit there thinking about Things I'd Rather Do. Today was ok, though. I've got a fecking awful cold, I feel so miserable. I was fine til yesterday, but then hell broke loose. Or, er, well, I got the sniffles. Haha. I feel so sorry for myself, haha. Ah, what a saddo I am. but what the hell. I'm hungry because I didn't have time for breakfast. I can't go to the B&S show in Stockholm (three months too young) and, er, well... ok. Dissing my life was boring. Good things is that I'm going to Miami in less than a month now, yay!! We're going to stay with my dad's girlfriend's sister and her husband. They are all quite mad, apparently. And the husband's old mum just died, ah, very sad. They do have dogs, though, and one of them are having puppies, yay number two!! It'll be nice to really GO someplace, though, the only trips I've done since, erm, 1996 when I was ten (yes, imagine that sinister people, i was at the tender age of NINE in Struan's magical year that was 1995!) has been to visit my sister in England, and those have not been holidays like this one. So I'm looking forward to it, although I'm pretty skint. I've got $84.64 or something in my Miami Savings Can. Speaking of that, Savings cans etc, all my friends have had their own accounts since they were maybe 13 or 14... am I the only person in this world to keep my money in a)My Red Plastic Shiny Hello Kitty Wallet b) My piggybank which I can't throw away because he looks so sad, and I am sentimental beyond words, hence my drawers full of porcelain kitties etc. c) My Miami Savings Can instead of having lots of plastic cards? My coolest cards are probably my library cards. Yay..? On Friday, I went to the youth club to see lots of crappy bands with 14-year-old-boys thinking they rawk. None of the bands were great, but some were ok, at least. At least, I almost got picked up by this very cute guy. Um, not a fourteen year old, more a 20 year old. He came out of the rehearsal room once in a while, then looked around the room until he saw me, stared at me, then looked away, then came and stood next to me and didn't say a word. i didn't know what to say, and by the time this had happened four or five times I was plucking up the courage, but then he disappeared and never came back. Later, Richard, who is my favourite indierock 25-year-old in the world I think and works there, told me that they had come back and were a wee bit drunk. It was a drug free event, bla bla bla. So they couldn't play, and my semi-attractive prince was lost forever. Damn. Kat will start to rehearse there next Saturday. Our own key and everything. now THAT'S responsibility! Richard attacked me with a "YOU'RE MY IDOL!" when I came to visit him and talk about some records I'd loaned from him. He had played Hit it, Raoul! four times before he went to sleep the previous night, and had played it at the youth club all day, and someone had done a remix of it. it wasn't us with a phat beat, but us with more bass, or something. i don't know. Pretty cool, though. Tonight, I'm going to a fashion show. My first. Probably my only, as well. This indie shop with hip designer clothes are having their spring collection shown at this big venue in Stockholm, and I was invited by mail, even. Proper mail, not e-mail. It felt nice. I felt important. How sad I am. By the way. I love B&S. I forget just how much, sometimes, but still, they manage to amaze me. I had only brought with me IWUTS with me when I was on my way to the bus, but as I hurried down the stairs in my building, and heard Struan's lovely voice I had to turn around and run back and get DCW, because I knew I'd want to listen to them. Ah. How great they are. That reminds me, I haven't developed the film which contains a photo of me and Stevie, when I met him and Sarah in October. He told me he made his best boyband smile, so it's bound to be a success. Also on that film, is me and Amanda in various states that day. Not states as in states in the US or something, but more like "tired in the afternoon on the bus on the way to my house" and "post-B&S-meeting and happy sitting in front of this stupid club we're too young to get into, pointing fuck you to it and all its hip kids going there" photos. Oh and I went to see Damien Rice and Josh Ritter on Sunday, February 29th. I met Damien before the show, when he signed my copy of O and made a drawing of a girl who was cold and wrote "Astrid - fresh cold air" and signed. We saw Josh Ritter then but didn't dare talk to him. The show was amazing, and cool because he played cold water and eskimo friend as one long song, in complete darkness and then when they started really SINGING in Eskimo Friend, in the end, the lights came on and it was so pretty i wanted to cry. We were seated on the fifth row so we were really happy, ah Damien. And Josh was great too, what a nice guy. After the show, most people had left and me and Amanda were standing in the lobby just talking a bit, Josh came out, and so we started talking to him. He was probably one of the nicest people I've ever met, a real gentleman. He immediately decided that me and Amanda ARE going to get in on the 18-yrs-of-age-show he's playing at the end of May. Nice. Plus he wrote "Astrid, you're the star of the North Sea, love Josh Ritter" and said he really loved my name. But then, just as I'm taking my polaroid photo with him for my photo wall at home, I hear the familiar intro of Delicate, one of Damien's songs. And yes, he's come out to play that song, on acoustic guitar for the people who were still there. Absolutely amazing. I got a lovely polaroid of him standing there playing, he doesn't even make a stupid singing face, as most concert pics contain. Lovely, lovely, lovely. And then when I went to say hi, thanks and all, he recognized me and we took a picture together. I was going for the cool, relaxed face, but when he tilted his head so his head was leaning on mine, sort of, and he put his arm around me, i once more made the THIS IS THE HAPPIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE-smile. Oh well. I have to scan it all up for Kat's website, along with the Adam Green photo. Oh yes, the site is up now: www.geocities.com/yelp_of_pain Go visit. Now, I shalt leave, and bloweth my nose.

There's a new temp at work, John, who seems a wee bit old for a temp, maybe late 20s, but I'm young, so what do I know? Anyhow, yesterday he was chatting witht he girl who was showing him the ropes about diet and fitness then suddenly turned round to me and said 'Are YOU on a diet as well then?' Harrumph! It wasn't so much the implication that I am one of The Fat, more the implication that all women, especially those with a bosom and a bum, must be n a diet. Honestly. And I was being so polite to him too, despite his combination of white and purple checked shirt and brown paisley tie... ...he asked me if I liked star trek and superman today, so I think he's socially inept rather than offensive. Hell, I'm just touchy at the moment, I spent the bulk of my day reading the NatWest Caravanning Club Newsletter on the staff intranet.

When I posted at the weekend, there was something else I meant to mention that was actually ON TOPIC and everything. And I forgot about it. So I'm posting *again*. So there. The other week, a text message came in from The Parents. This is, generally, a Bad Sign. The Parents aren't very good at sending text messages - they have trouble seeing which button is which - so normally, a message from them is Important Serious News. But anyway. It said: "belle and seb on Radio 2 after 6pm love mum and dad" Wow, I thought. My parents are texting me just to tell me that B&S are going to be on the radio. So, I listened in, and it was interesting. I've not seen *any* mention of it at all on Sinister, though (maybe I just haven't been paying attention), which is why I'm posting about it. It was on the Stuart Maconie show, with only four of the band there (Stuart, Stevie, Sarah and Bob). They performed Step Into My Office, Baby, followed by Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying. I was v. pleased about the second, because a) it's one of my favourite songs b) they hardly ever play it. I love it so much, I want it played at my funeral. But anyway. I was only half-listening to the chatter and spiel, because I was cooking my tea at the time and wandering from room to room. One thing, though intrigued me. Does anyone remember, years and years ago, back in the 80s, there was a very annoying, odd-looking little boy who would go on chat shows like Wogan and demonstrate a disgusting depth of knowledge about antiques? He had a rather bouffant blonde afro, which sticks in my memory much more than his name does. Since then he has become a she, and still gets on telly occasionally, although I still can't remember her name. Well, anyway, according to Mr Maconie this woman has been reported as saying that she thinks there's one B&S song that was written *about her*. Only, because I wasn't really listening and was trying to cook my tea, I didn't hear which one it was. Bah. So. Does anyone, anywhere, have *any* idea what I'm talking about?

I've not been reading very much of it recently, but I apologize. My nanobot creations took over my brain for a while, but I am suddenly back in the swing of things. By the way, not enough has been mentioned about Jonathan Brandis' demise last year. Or maybe it was and I missed it. It's been a subject of sadness recently, especially as I see episodes of Seaquest DSV become available for download. By the end of the second season, that show had jumped over the shark, out of the atmosphere, and onto an alien planet to help fight a civil war. Then Michael Ironside came on and it was 2032. If your main guy won't be in Megiddo, then you're looking for trouble. They still let it go on for most of the third series. Yet we must bid goodbye to Angel...bastards. Caitlin was wanting to know what song they were discussing on the Stuart Marcone...whatever show on the Beeb2. I think it was Lord Anthony. I only remember because I remember thinking "hmm...that one's not so good". I possibly am only jealous because I can't eat Toblerone. Still, he gets Toblerone on his dress, Phil Lynott gets chocolate stains on his pants...the connections never cease. Years ago, I wondered how one could be a "killer for your love"...unless that person (damon albarn) actually killed people for someone's love. Didn't strike me as the meaning though. But I'm listening to the Rex now, and what the hell is a Jeepster anyway? Back to the radio. I actually listened to that session. It's the first radio session by the Belle kids I've listened to in...Lord knows how long. I generally can never be bothered or just foget, but that day I was in a radio mood. Despite hearing Prefab Sprout's "King of Rock n' Roll", and one or two other gems, I realized I don't enjoy listening to the radio very much. It's just not worth the boredom of Dido. I can no longer call them "the Belles" for short, since there is actually a band called The Belles. They opened for the Pernice Brothers the other night, and I missed them. The world's smallest violin... I'm ill and drinking herbal tea. And I'm fighting with every ounce in my body the urge to buy more cigarettes. Holding fast...Does anyone know if you have a very minor cold (slight runny nose, light coughing), are cigarettes bad for you? Someone say no. Please. Not much else to say. Which was evident several paragraphs ago. -Matt _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar � get it now! http://clk.atdmt.com/AVE/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

At least the internet will let me escape my burden! Right? Right??!! ... nope, turns out I'm a dork on the internet too. And not the cool sort of dork, or the kind with the decency to get really into computers or RPGs so they still have something to do on a Saturday night other than make a hideously self-centered introduction to a mailing list that has warned them repeatedly against doing so. Hmm.... come to think of it, I'm a bald-faced liar with something to do tonight, namely going to watch Blue Velvet at my friend's house. He's sure that it will open my eyes to new worlds or something, but my brother (who has impeccable taste in everything, unfortunately completely opposite of my own, so he feels the need to raise me right.... at least it means that he gives me new CDs at every possible opportunity, and lets me steal his at will) says that it is awful and self-indulgent. We'll see how it goes, my friend has similarly impeccable taste, mirroring my own impeccability this time. Honestly, I'd rather spend the night lounging in my bedroom, reading and eating chocolate and listening to Jeff Buckley, feeling romantically sorry for myself and my utter loneliness. I signed up to this list, first and foremost, to whine about what I'm doing this Wednesday, namely, not going to the Belle & Sebastian concert in Munich. I've never seen them live before, as they don't often come to my real home, the windswept, utterly devoid plains of the midwestern United States. So for the last two years (since someone slipped me a burned CD with The State I Am In, If You're Feeling Sinister, and This Is Just A Modern Rock Song on it) I've been listening to their CDs on repeat, obsessively downloading live versions and B-sides, and imagining taking my seat at some rad, unheard of venue, gawking glass eyes at all you cool indie rawk kids, as they take the stage. And I finally get my chance, my heart speeding up already when I see a thread entitled B&S Tour GERMANY!!! as I am scavenging bowlie for new music and books. I click the link, and they'll be in Munich, a scant 4 and a half hour train ride from this year's home away from home in Austria. And (as so! on as I've regained some dignity and resumed my seat after dancing bout the room like a fool) I'm about to order the almost affordable tickets in my immediate enthusiasm, when my heart splatters against my smelly silver sneakers, realizing I have this bloody ski trip with my school that week. And I can't get out of it. And the evil teachers won't let me off one night, even though I've pressed upon them how incredibly important this is, and I have to spend the week with the annoying, reeking freshman, learning how to ski. I hate skiing.... I hate most things that involve me getting off my lazy ass, but particularly skiing. How do you even spell skiing? It can't have two i s in a row.... So I am damned once again to my pre-recorded hell, except this time haunted by my fleeting, heartlessly dashed hopes, or something like that. Melodrama never suited me. Apathy's my game. In that spirit, I plan to drown my sorrows in alcohol and music next Wednesday, make a spectacle of myself, and be awoken before I can sleep it off to be put on top of a mountain attached to two waxed shafts which will never be extensions of my feet and fall/crawl my way to the bottom. My oh my, I am sulky and pathetic this week... you lot should probably ignore this email... I'd hate me. >Claire, who feels more her bit of angsty teenager today than any other time in her life.... except when she's listening to Bright Eyes. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: do you like when people post who haven't mailed Sinister in ages? Well now it it is happening again, for I, the dirty vicar, am subjecting you to another e-mailed communication. I'm flying to GERMANY this week. This is very exciting. I'm going to Berlin, and seeing B&S is on the itinerary. But I'm not totally one of those sad people who flies to other countries to see the great band of our times... going to Berlin is something I've been planning to do for ages. I'm looking forward to seeing the Fernsehturm and to walking down Karl Marx Allee, among other things. I gather I'm staying near the place that does the world's greatest felafel, so I should be alright for food. Are there any Sinister subbers who live in Berlin? If you are such person and you fancy meeting for a pint send me a mail. Before I go to BERLIN I am going to two gigs here in Dublin. Tomorrow KRAFTWERK are gracing us with their presence. I remember liking them a lot at the Tribal Gathering all nighter I went to, so I am looking forward to seeing them again. The next day it's the launch party for the first single by THE CHALETS, who include a former Sinister subber among their number (and are therefore proven by Marxist science to be Good). The Chalets are on in the Sugar Club, so I will be able to sit down and guzzle brandy alexanders while they play. Nice. Maybe you will join me. big shouts to everyone who everyone who ever mentions me in their mails, although I think ~Stine should do lose her fetishisation of things Irish. Mark O must also be mentioned... I have had a mail for him in my drafts folder advancing VERY SLOWLY to completion ever since last July. Separately, belated thanks to the people who sent me Christmas Presents. I have sent a separate thank you mail to the lovely Ms Jenny Payne. But I have also to thank the person who sent me a lovely home made fox in the snow t-shirt. Because I am USELESS I have mislaid the piece of paper that told me who had sent this, which is why I am publicly thanking them on this list. Perhaps they could make themselves known to me? Beyond that, it really is bedtime for a tired little vicar like me.

I think i just survived the winter. No, it hasn't officially ended, but I did wear normal shoes this week and not (grumble) boots. and the sun was actually warming (however briefly). but blah blah blah, BUT in two weeks I will be in London and it will be Spring! (well, it'd better be.) How exciting is this?! (for me?!) I've got about 30 million things to do before I get on that plane, but that will just make my London time even better (I'm hypothesizing...). There should be much: dancing, embibing, museum/gallery-going, wandering together and alone, window shopping and crying over the glory of shoes (my god, i cried inside today when i popped into my favorite shoe store to check out the new spring shoes - white slip-on campers with embroidered fushia flowers! i blinked back the tears of joy and pain. how is $268+15%tax at all fair or sane? beauty should be free or at least offered at a discount to worthy people. ah, but beauty is costly. stupid beauty.) but yeah, so here i am wrapped up in a blanket b/c we mistakenly turned our heat down, waiting for winter to end, thinking about whether to watch american idol tonight or whether to *not waste my time* (oh, you know i'll watch. i love it. both the wasting time and the watching painful tv. and tv has not been my friend these past two weeks - no new episdoes of the O.C. nor of Gilmore Girls. i'm still on my boycott-CSIs-and-Law&Orders-because-they-are-bad-for-my-mental-health stint, meaning the tv has been neglected because those shows take up half the weekly prime-time schedule, i swear. so the tv is like "please watch 'judging amy' or 'forever eden', pleeese." and i'm like "no. you bastard." and then we stare blankly at each other. eventually i leave.) oh oh, and will there be a Brighton Picnic/Day? Archel posted about this but then nothing and I have been too slack-ass with the emailing to have asked earlier. i should get on #sinister, i should. At this point i'd like to say "Sinister Picnic - Worldcup Germany 2006!" If that's too futurismic, then I hope to be seeing all kinds of "Sinister Picnic - New York/Toronto/Reykjavik/Idaho/Melbourne/etc." in the next couple months b/c, y'know, it's the season (even the s. hemisphere - fall picnics are quite nice.) I had to get a new passport. I think I look even more drunk in this photo. plus, it's in colour. eesh. speaking of drunk, i haven't been for months (2 months, in fact). i have been being responsible. and poor. brutal combination. we'll see how long that lasts. the new Destroyer album is good and includes my subject line and a lot of Dan Bejar making me want him even more. though not in real life. i heart the indie-pop stars of my fantasies. and would probably want to stab them in the eye in real life. or something with knives anyway. (hahaha - for the more sensitive among you, i would never stab anyone with anything. but i'm not making any promises.) i haven't bought the latest b&s eps/singles for the same reasons i haven't been drinking. i feel so behind. i even felt old for the first time at a Metric show a couple weeks ago. It Begins... In my defense against time, I may totally revert and start asking guys out on dates via a folded piece of notebook paper that reads "Do you like me? __ yes __ no.

Message-ID: "Belle et Sebastian a Paris" Belated reporting back from the Paris gig. Due to lack of organization skills I only managed to meet-up with only one fellow sinister before the gig. (Sorry Katrina but my mobile phone's battery was dead...) I've met with Olivier aka strawberry boy who got a few strange looks while waiting in the queue because of his resemblance with a certain mr stuart. Franz Ferdinard who were in support didn't show up because (i think) their singer had been ill. Instead there was a french guy singing... I wasn't exactly thrilled by his performance... B&S showed up with the usual line up. There is this girl now who is replacing Isobel on the cello. I don't remember if she was also in the London gigs in December... Can anyone help? They were really into a partying mood! They even did a small theatrical sketch during Dear Catastrophe Waitress, with the girl on the album cover participating!!! That was quite funny, her running on the stage with her "stressee, moi?" t-shirt, serving drinks to stuart and messing everything up... They also did 2 encores (first time this ever happens according to stuart) but they were a song each :( "Quiet is the new Loud" I bought this music magazine (x-ray feb/march issue) a while back. Accustomed to read magazines in the bathroom, an article under the 'what not to buy' section of the magazine caught my eye during a late night visit to the toilet. it said "you'll really need this Belle and Sebastian Hearing Aid (tm) when you go to see one of the scots funsters' shows and wonder just how so many people can make so little noise". Indeed, the toilet is the appropriate place for this mag. "get out of the office and into the spring time" Spring has finally reached london town!

Message-ID: "Belle et Sebastian a Paris" Belated reporting back from the Paris gig. Due to lack of organization skills I only managed to meet-up with only one fellow sinister before the gig. (Sorry Katrina but my mobile phone's battery was dead...) I've met with Olivier aka strawberry boy who got a few strange looks while waiting in the queue because of his resemblance with a certain mr stuart. Franz Ferdinard who were in support didn't show up because (i think) their singer had been ill. Instead there was a french guy singing... I wasn't exactly thrilled by his performance... B&S showed up with the usual line up. There is this girl now who is replacing Isobel on the cello. I don't remember if she was also in the London gigs in December... Can anyone help? They were really into a partying mood! They even did a small theatrical sketch during Dear Catastrophe Waitress, with the girl on the album cover participating!!! That was quite funny, her running on the stage with her "stressee, moi?" t-shirt, serving drinks to stuart and messing everything up... They also did 2 encores (first time this ever happens according to stuart) but they were a song each :( "Quiet is the new Loud" I bought this music magazine (x-ray feb/march issue) a while back. Accustomed to read magazines in the bathroom, an article under the 'what not to buy' section of the magazine caught my eye during a late night visit to the toilet. it said "you'll really need this Belle and Sebastian Hearing Aid (tm) when you go to see one of the scots funsters' shows and wonder just how so many people can make so little noise". Indeed, the toilet is the appropriate place for this mag. "get out of the office and into the spring time" Spring has finally reached london town!

First up, let me say that this will almost certainly be the last message you receive from me from nme.com. The folks at said music rag, in their “infinite wisdom” have decreed that they can no longer provide a free email service for the likes of you and me and so have decided to terminate all accounts from the end of this month, *sigh*. I, and indeed you, have been warned! So it looks like IÂ’ll have to sign in afresh, with a different email account and appear as a new member of sinister, perversely, for someone whoÂ’s been about for donkeyÂ’s years. Hello to Philippe Garnier btw, who has returned to the sinister fold after some years of absence. HeÂ’s right here in Oxford Town you know .I daresay there are other sinisterines here I donÂ’t know about. Time was when I knew all of the Oxon sinister crowd; allow me my misty eyed reminiscence if you please. My update on my trip to Belgium is well overdue, partly for reasons which will become clear later, but anyway, the first person I met in Brussels was Annie, right after I checked in to my hotel. We went to a very nice restaurant where she had the local delicacy which can best be described as sugar tart and I the more conventional lemon meringue pie. The proprietors of this establishment were doing their level best to ensure that as many people could enjoy it as possible, so the tables were really close to one another and it was pretty well impossible to avoid getting in someoneÂ’s way. Later on we made our way through a quaint arcade which had a sculpture of a cow being carried off by a dragon suspended from the ceiling and visited a bar called Morte Subite which means Sudden Death, not the only bar with a rather morbid name in Brussels (thereÂ’s also one called the Coffin). I awoke the next morning to discover that the city had been coated in a blanket of snow, which was lovely and augmented the already entrancing spectacle of the Grand Place with its wonderful Gothic buildings. On the Saturday, I met two (twee) sinister people on the steps of the Beurs (stock exchange), these being Olivier (who gets around, just ask Nikos R, but DoesnÂ’t Look Quite As Much Like Stuart As He Used To) and Aton (who hads recently become a teacher - brave man!). We made our way to the Ancien Belgique and saw the Veils and the Fiery Furnaces. I was informed that the Veils featured the son of someone who used to be in XTC. The guitarist looked a little like Andy Partridge and the bassist resembled Colin Moulding, so which was it? It later transpired that Finn, the singer, was the son of Barry Andrews whoÂ’d left XTC to form Shriekback. Anyway, the Veils started well but were ultimately uninspiring, unlike the Fiery Furnaces who were rather interesting, especially when they indulged in fairground music doodly keyboards the keyboard player concerned looking uncannily like someone I used to work with. We had been joined by this stage by Annie and her boyfriend Andy, who is in a band called Wintergreen who have a rather wonderful song called Clockwork Mice which I downloaded. So should you: http://www.iwantwintergreen.com The following day I took a train to Bruges which was very quiet and picturesque and has canals (woo – I have great respect for anywhere with canals). The place was remarkably peaceful with the peace only occasionally punctuated by the clip-clop of hooves from the horse-drawn carriages laid on for the tourists – it made me think about how cacophonous it must have been when *all* traffic took this form. Later on I partook of a beer called Kwak which is served in an hourglass shaped glass in a wooden frame. This fascinated me so I took a pic of it I might host my photos on the yahoo group corduroy smoke if I get round to it. I have some very sad news to report now. On Sunday evening, my father passed away in hospital. The last few days have been pretty hectic as IÂ’ve been rushing around from hospital to registrar to funeral directors, accompanying my mother and sister. I have also had the difficult task of informing friends and relatives over the phone. Although I saw Dad the day before he died, his health had obviously deteriorated enormously in a very short space of time. He looked very hunched and jaundiced and was utterly unable to communicate with us. The death certificate said pneumonia, prostate cancer and renal failure and I know he was afflicted with at least another three conditions, so if any comfort can be gained form this sorry situation, itÂ’s that he has been freed from unimaginable suffering. So far, IÂ’ve been so frantically rushing around making arrangements and letting people know that I donÂ’t feel that IÂ’ve been able to grieve properly, but the funeral is on Tuesday, so any words of support would be much appreciated.

I've been on holiday, although due to critical fundlessness, this entailed sitting in my parents' house while they went to Scotland for a week. I did manage to go for one nice long walk, but the rest of time I was strangely put off by the gale force winds, hailstorms, and towering waves crashing over the garden wall... I did get a bus to Eastbourne on Friday though, and let me tell you, you have not experienced seediness until you've sat in a deserted Curzon cinema in Eastbourne on a Friday afternoon. The concept of carpet hadn't reached them, let alone comfortable seats. I also played pool on the pier (again no carpet) but can report back that Brighton is a rather more congenial venue for such activities. Speaking of which, the sparkling Miss Robyn jogged my memory about the proposed Brighton picnic in April. And yes, indeed, it is going ahead with all water pistols blazing: ********************** Date: Saturday 3 April Time: ooh, about 2pm Place: Brighton Station for meeting the usual Sinister Express from London I suspect, then The George pub just down the road on Trafalgar Street, then probably the BEACH ********************** So if you want to come and you need more info, email me. I will even give out my mobile phone number if you agree to bring me sweets. And if you are coming from London, get your arses coordinated as per usual I suppose. Hoorah!

Autographed items never really did much for me so I've never chased it. Chasing skirts is much more fun. However, today it occurred to me that I have something I REALLY REALLY want to get the band to autograph for me at their SF show at the Warfield next month. For some reason this completely escaped my mind at the Berkeley show last year. I must be getting old. So friends, my question is: What do I have to do at the Warfield show that night to get the band to sign my original Tigermilk LP? Who do I have to bribe? Who do I have to kill? Who do I have to sleep with? I booked a trip to London the day of the show (stupid me), but if I can have my LP signed I'll have my ticket changed...

Who do I have to kill? Who do I have to sleep with? The sensible answer to be to find out where band will be after the show. Chances are Beans will be DJing at some dodgy dive till the wee hours. After the last Berkeley show I think he did a spot somewhere in Oakland (someone correct me please!). Most of the band will probably go along to that, and as long as they have their ID and can actually get in, will I'm sure be more than happy to break off from boogie-ing to scrawl their name across some vinyl. Having said that, my advice is this: Run naked accross the stage whistling Pocketbook Angels (that'll get their attention). Bribe Neil Robertson with a warm half empty bottle of Becks. Sleep with the violinist who always wears the Hibernian shirt (Frazer or Alexander or something).

Does Virtual Neil on the band website also SWEAR? I haven't got the guts to try it out at work. I was thinking about what I'd do if I owned an original TM. Would I get new members of the band to sign it or would I go for the old school hard core and then try to track down Stu D and Isobel? And does Mick count? I think I'd rather get autographs on my fragrant decollete anyway. Mmm, permanent markers.

This post has become horribly late because IÂ’ve had to change mail-addresses (though not from nme!) and stuff and everything has been a real mess and just now I noticed that I wasnÂ’t in nursery and maybe I hadnÂ’t been put back there at all. So I thought: what better time for a comeback that for a good old reporting back?! Yes, I have finally seen BELLE & SEBASTIAN live. It was indescribably fucking good! (I never use that word but today will have to be an exception). I really canÂ’t believe it. And I even got a f.. a Setlist. Actually IÂ’d written down all the songs, just case I didnÂ’t get my hands on a setlist, which is a kind of an awkward thing to do while dancing around in uttermost joy. Alright itÂ’s time to get the Story going (if youÂ’re really lazy, like me, you should probably just scroll down and read the titles – cause that is setlist) I went to Copenhagen a while after school (if you remember, which you probably donÂ’t, I live in Sweden, which is not the same country as Denmark) and it was freezing cold, because I was only wearing my corduroy jacket and a shirt. (Of course I was also wearing my upside-down badge in case there were any sinisters. there probably wasn't, but I think some Icelandic guy was planning to go there. Anyway, no one noticed my badge, until after the show - and they hadn't heard of Sinister.) Waiting outside the door to venue I was amazed how few people there were and they were mostly Swedish. I mean it wasnÂ’t sold out when I checked in the morning and even though itÂ’s Denmark (no offence, if there happens to be any Danish people reading this) seriously!! ItÂ’s BELLE & SEBASTIAN. In Stockholm and Gothenburg the tickets sold out last year! Here, it didnÂ’t fill up until after the opening act and IÂ’m not even sure about that. The opening act or “foreband” if you translate from Swedish wa s Aerospace, a Swedish band I can recommend strongly, if you bother to care. I new they were really good even though IÂ’ve never heard them. They did a fine job, though you could hear the vocals. Passion Fruit --------------- Then Stevie, Mick, Bob, Richard and Beans came in and they started playing Passion Fruit, which I had only heard as the end of Stop, Look and Listen. It was great. I didnÂ’t have a very accurate picture of what Stevie Richard looked like so it was a bit confusing at first. I even thought that Mr. Murdoch had darker hair. Expectations --------------- Then Stuart and Sarah entered and everybody started to shout and scream. At least I did. They all had kind of ordinary clothes, except Stuart who was wearing brown flares to go with the 70Â’s interior of the venue he said. He picked his acoustic Taylor and started playing F#, Bm, F#, Bm . You know what that means donÂ’t you? Yes, Expectations! Too bad it was the only Tigermilk song, but according to their “secretive” encore sign language they were thinking about playing I Could Be Dreaming. They had a woman playing cello, I think youÂ’ve mentioned her before. Step Into My Office Baby ------------------------------ Time for a new song, the people in the back had to hear something familiar too. But they thought it was over when it came to the second string part. This when string section started getting busy too. Mick played some horn too. And Stuart was able do his little dance for the first time. Seeing Other People ------------------------ Stuart moved over too the piano and I thought: can it be an old song, can it be an old song?! I was right! I was under the impression that they didnÂ’t play many songs from Sinister. But now they had rehearsed and he didnÂ’t even forget the vocals once. Absolutely the best song so far. DCW ----- I donÂ’t remember much from this song, except that I really noticed the strings for the first time. It is kind of short too. Belle & Sebastian --------------------- Yes, you read correctly – I didnÂ’t mix up the title with the band. Stuart said there are always some hardcore indie kids who wants to hear old obscure songs at shows. “Songs I hardly know IÂ’ve written”. My heart stopped. WeÂ’re they going to play Rhoda or Pocket Book Angel or something like that. And then they started playing I was one of the few who recognised the song. It was really fantastic! I donÂ’t think theyÂ’ve played that song much, but I was hoping they were going to play something from the EP:s and that is probably the song the song I was most pleased to hear in the whole set. The Wrong Girl ----------------- It says TravellinÂ’ Light in the setlist but thatÂ’s Stevie-song too.. anyway Stuart said “This is a song written by Stevie Jackson on which I play bass. That should be enough for you to know which it is”. He played an opaque bass guitar that he was sad to say he could play more on. It was really good to hear Stevie sing a whole song, cause heÂ’s a great singer. The Boy Done Wrong Again ---------------------------------- WhatÂ’s this I thought, another Sinister song, and a rare one at that! Unbelievable! It was so wonderful with the violin and cello and all. It nearly made me cry. You DonÂ’t Send Me ------------------- Probably the song on DCW I like the least, itÂ’s still great I mean, but a little less. (Family Tree) ---------------- Yes, I know they donÂ’t play that song now that BelÂ’s gone but it was “the time of the show where we usually take a break”, which means time for a person (usually a girl) in the audience to sing a song. A girl from Malmö got to sing Family Tree. Another girl wanted to sing StuartÂ’s favourite Smiths song, but he said the band wouldnÂ’t play that. She did quite alright although she forgot the lyrics for the second verse – it was the only song that wasnÂ’t in the song-book. She got a real medal that said “I made it with Belle & Sebastian”. Now that I think about it wish I would have sung My Wandering Days Are Over, but maybe they would be offended because I sing to much like Stuart. I couldnÂ’t even decide what I would like to sing then. Piazza, New York Catcher -------------------------------- It was great it in all itÂ’s simplicity, with just Stuart singing and Mick on acoustic. ThereÂ’s Too Much Love ----------------------------- Yes! The first FISHYCLAP song. And one of the best! I just love the strings at the end! Love On the March ----------------------- It was interesting to see who played what on this song. Stevie was singing, Mick played guitar and Stuart played a little keyboard. Fox In the Snow ------------------ According to the setlist they chose between this and Slow Graffiti. IÂ’m glad they took Fox, cause itÂ’s still on of their best songs. StevieÂ’s solo on his Martin is one of the best ever. Yet another Sinister song. IÂ’m a Cuckoo ---------------- They chose between this and If You Find Yourself Caught In Love here. I like the latter better, but they finally got a chance to rock out and there was some serious jumping going on! Roy Walker -------------- Time for inviting many kids up on stage for some finger-flicking. I finally understood what the distortion pedal that I laughed at in the sound-check – it was for MickÂ’s solo. Stevie did own solo, on the harmonica. They didnÂ’t really manage the intertwining vocals but it still rawked. WomanÂ’s Realm ------------------- Another one of my favourite FISHYCLAP songs! Again with some glorious strings and guitar at the end. Stay Loose ------------- I thought this was going to “the last song”, but I was wrong. It was very good, but does he have to try to sing with that robotic voice live? Legal Man ------------ Oh no, itÂ’s the last song and the first one I couldnÂ’t completely sing along with! I have to buy that 12”. Encore -------- For the encore there were hundreds of suggestions. Someone said Le Pastie and I agreed but Stuart just said “Nah, itÂ’s been a long time ”They finally decided for Judy and played an extended version of it. It was to good to be true. I almost lost my voice. You may have noticed there where no TBWTAS songs, but they compensated me with playing the title-track as the real last song. And when StuartÂ’s vocals trailed of there at the end I knew it was over I hope there will be some reports from Stockholm and Gothenburg. My condolences to Astrid and Johan who werenÂ’t able to get in. I mean, how stupid is that? 18-year limit at a B&S concert! Old beer-drinkers shouldnÂ’t be allowed. IÂ’m sorry if IÂ’ve taken up much of your time, but I warned you!

The absolute cheapest way to get from or via London to Brighton is on megabus.com. It's £1 each way! You have to book in advance but you don't need a ticket, just give the booking ref to the driver. At the time of writing there seems to be only one suitable journey available - 12 noon departure from London and 2.20pm arrival in Brighton. But I am web-illiterate at this time of the afternoon so don't take my word for it. Check it out people! www.megabus.com Obviously if you can't endure a two hour coach journey because you're just too impatient to see me, the train is good too. See you saturday!

Reveal yourself!). SO! I propose a Sinister Northern Picnic, York being the ideal spot to hold such an event. And, even though I've been a lurker even within the York Sinister Massiv of late (for which I sincerely apologise), I'll be your mummy, if you like that kinda thing. Here's the plan. Feel free to tell me to change date/time etc - I'm a suggestible character. WHERE: outside the front of the Minster, York (then moving onto Museum Gardens). I reckon this is good because it's easy for non-Uni people to get to (hint: non/ex-York people very much welcome), and is in the close proximity of Nice Pubs in case it rains. WHEN: 2pm, Saturday 24th April (or Saturday wk 1 for the Uni contingent) ME: tall, lanky, glasses, a feast of delights inside my bag. Mobile 07793711306 YOU: laden with boooooze and other picnic accessories, wearing upside-down badge for ID purposes. Sound like a sound plan? Let me know. I can't really think of much to report on really. I guess we all run out of things to say eventually. I went to see Lambchop on Saturday night. They were rather gorgeous. Support was in the form of Camera Obscura, who were pretty good. Not as good as the 'chop though, for sure. I take it that a small section of this listen would have heard the last ever Mark & Lard on Friday? Belle & Sebastian were on it, singing a pastiche of Seymour Stein. I went Mark and Lard Oh how we'll miss you On Radio 1 You say you've got a promotion Our thoughts are far away We remembered the day You first played our tune And now we are minted Mark and Lard (repeat to fade) It warmed my heart, because M&L was the first place I heard B&S. The final show was generally a sad event though - I might have cried if I wasn't a) apparently incapable of doing so (nothing seems to make me cry, even when I want to, rather annoyingly) b) laughing incontrollably for the most part. Inspired by Vilkas' post, I listened to Beck's Midnite Vultures yesterday, and I was forced to conclude that it is one of my favourite records of all time. And that thought inspired me to make a list of all the records I own that would warrant five stars in the fictitious Asm Magazine. Unsurprisingly, I came up with about 80 of the little blighters. After much pointless pontificating, I managed to narrow it down to about 20, but realised what an inconsequential task I'd set myself so I gave up. Still, 20 is fair enough though, doncha think? Anyway, let me know about the picnic. love Asm.x <> ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield _________________________________________________________________ Stay in touch with absent friends - get MSN Messenger http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

The clocks have been put forward an hour here a couple of days ago, but they went backward an hour in some other places, isn't that strange? I do love summertime though. I was so happy about it the other day I spent an hour going oohh oooh oh oh oh oh oh oh u can't touch this ooohh ooh ooh oh oh oh Stop! Summertimeeee! Haha, so I did. But I do, love this summertime thing. It's hard to adjust to having to get up extra early, but the day now just never ends! And now I want to wake up like extra early so make the most of the day - I haven't managed it just yet but soon! The clocks should never go backwards so that one day I'll just wake up to go to work when it's like midnight (except it won't be called midnight then it'd be like 9am) Of course there's also the sundays tune youuu and meeee in the summertime We'll be hand in hand down in the park With a squeeeeeeze and a sigh and that twinkle in your eyes All the sunshine banishes the darkkkk Aw yeah, sundays and summertime are the best times. And fall, too. I used to like the word "Autumn" a lot but I've really "fallen" for "Fall" so to speak. It just such a nice word, when it's not describing someone tripping over and hurting. Hurting sucks. Going to the park rocks though. So yeah, I can see the sun now and it's so great. Stuart Murdoch doesn't seem to like it so much though, there was a recording of his band singing a cover of "Here comes the sun" and in the wee bridge/chorus/whatever bit you can suddenly find him singing "sun sun sun, you hairy c*nt"!!!!!! Oh my god!! It may just have been his accent of course, but I'm not so sure. I've also mentioned this before but the sun reminded me of it. Not "The Sun" the newspaper, they only ever show boobs. Are YOU going to be coming to Brighton this weekend? You should! It's summertime. Ken (12:24 BST) P.S.: oooh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh P.P.S.: stop!
