Yeah, I guess you're right... I knew it was going to be difficult
after the London bombs, and I guess it still is, but anyway...

Summer's just ok around here in Spain. Well, it is for me, I mean
nothing really bad happened, but since I started studying for my Sept
exams the 15th July... didn't have much time for anything...

So I just hope any of you Sinners can tell me of your summer
adventures and loves so I can live my life through yours!! Please do!!

i haven't read it yet but i heard it refers to Felt's 'The World Is  
As Soft As Lace' as "an instrumental". Hey! with journalistic  
accuracy of such high order, what hopes do you have for the rest of  
it?! Nice cover though.

Anyone here also on the indiepop list? there's been a thread there  
about listing order of fave B&S albums (most have agreed not to  
include Barman cos it's a compilation... ). Anyone want to pitch in  
here with their thoughts? Here's my order, just for a laugh:

1. Sinsiter
2. Catastrophe
3. Tigermilk
4. Arab Strap
5. Fold
6. Storytelling

um, now i'm off out to ride my bike :-)

Yeah, I'm on the indiepop list too and have been following the discussion.
It's been fun, although after a while you do pray for a list that has
Storytelling at the top...!

My six, for what it's worth, are as follows

1 Sinister
2 Tigermilk
3 Catastraphe
4 Fold
5 Arab Strap
6 Storytelling

It's a strange one. I have warmed to Electronic Renaissance slightly over
the years, but generally I tend to skip it if I'm playing Tigermilk. If ER
wasn't on there, then Tigermilk would be number one in my list. It's still a
terrific record, even with this weird, out of character song slap bang in
the middle of it. I do wonder if Stuart has any other faux-Field Mice
electronic songs from that period in the vaults somewhere. An album of those
would be...well, interesting!

Not long to go until the Sinister show now. Someone else on the indiepop
list mentioned that they'd never seen a B&S live show that included any
songs from Sinister. Well, next month should change all of that...!

I haven't read Paul's book, but that Felt mistake is a bit of a howler.
Shame. He's a good writer and I'm sure he's done a fine job - it's all too
easy to focus on mistakes like that, which a good editor should have picked
up on. In a parallel world where I had a bit more motivation, I might have
liked to have written that book. Or one like it at least.

Oddly enough I had "The World Is As Soft As Lace" with me at the last HDIF,
as I was going to play "I Don't Love Anyone" and I thought it would be a
nice touch. But I didn't get around to playing it, stupidly. I'll play it on
Friday instead...!

It feels funny typing on here, but it's nice to read Sinister posts again.
Something comforting about it.

Hope you're all well and enjoying the sunshine. Here in the UK, it's
sweltering. Our four days of summer are finally here...!

Please, if anyone else is in a similar pickle, and is stuck in the
nursery drinking orange squash when they're 3 feet higher than the
other kids, mail me.  The device that lets you out of the nursery
is automatic (imagine a huge mechanical Victorian sausage-making
machine that eject listees via a complex system of rusty cogs),
so if you don't leave the nursery, it's not my laziness or illness,
just my stupidity.  It just means I can't make things well, or you
changed address or something.  I've never known it to break, but of
course it probably does, like all mechanical objects.

Davey, did you really wait 18 months then receive the message?  Mail
me off-list for administrivia, as it's terribly boring for everyone
else.  Just please forgive slow responses, as previously explained.

It's nice to see a sudden flourish of emails today, particularly
from The Duke, who is probably even now tinkling his bicycle bell
at the local postman and humming some McCarthy, and Stacey bursting
on to the scene with gay abandon and kicks to the ass.  If anyone
reads Paul Whitelaw's book, do report back in lurid detail please.
He's certainly aware of the list, and did ask me for help which I
was unable to give, because I'm hopeless.

Honey

Subject: Sinister: Posting is the new lurking
Message-ID: <BAY14-F297766150F5B9EC4FF90CD6B50@phx.gbl>

Hi all,

Well, if Stacey is going to post, I may as well.  I still owe her an
email to explain myself for not calling her back when she was in
Chicago last to visit, and should probably write that one first, but
that would require actual thought, whereas this email can be rifled
off without any effort on the part of my brain cells.  In my defense,
it was super bowl weekend, and I had a party planned, but that's
still no excuse for being rude.

The goldenrods around chicago are starting to bloom, which means that
summer is ending and soon I'll be able to huddle in front of my
computer in a sweater with plenty of time to write and tell stories
and recount the days as they slide by.  I woke up late this morning
and drove to work cursing my bad luck and horrible discipline and
listened to selected cuts of IYFS.  It made the drive almost
bearable, but didn't do anything to make me go to bed earlier so that
a similar situation could be avoided tomorrow.

So I think the subject line really says everything that needed to be
said here tonight.  No more lurking about thinking the longer you're
silent, the cooler you are.  We need posts, arguments, threads,
senseless poems, weekly haikus, witty puns in subject lines, and the
usual idiocy, depravity, lewdness, creativity, and all around
brilliance that made this list worth reading in the first place.  So
here's my meager contribution.  And if the rest of you don't write, I
just might post again tomorrow.  Then who will be sorry?  Eh?  Who
indeed!

Jason

    oh dear,

thank-you for having removed me from the nursery, i was indeed much too big 
to stay with the kiddies lol!

even though the subject has been approached 127 times (at least?) & though 
i'm almost two years late, i eventually came to discover the "fans only" dvd 
& i found it exhiliratingly funny, especially the group's now-legendary 
appearance at the "do jo" show on Brazilian telly...

-Mr Soares: "Hello Blue Eyes...which instrument do you play?"
-Mick: "i play the trumpet..."
-Mr Soares:" i'm not talking to YOU, i'm not calling men Blue Eyes..."

  well fernando,

i know he wasn't being really polite with the group but wasn't he ridiculing 
himself & not them...
lets hope, at least, that for those who didn't know Belle & Sebastian & who 
were watching the program, it didn't hinder them from discovering the 
records...

   bom dia & obrigado for your opinion- david

Message-ID: <E1E67XK-0009nL-Bo@oceanus.uk.clara.net>


Hi,
This is Stuart David, fugitive ex B&S bassist- and author of the message at 
the bottom of all your Sinister messages. :)
I just wanted to let everyone know I've made a new Ink Polaroids site at 
www.inkpolaroids.com. You can post your own Polaroids there, and as well as 
my weekly Polaroid there are links to other Ink Polaroids sites on the 
internet. If you have one you'd like linked to just let me know.
There is also a new edition of Ink Polaroids of Belle and Sebastian there, 
which includes the other book, Little Ink Movies of Belle and Sebastian in 
New York, and my original Ink Polaroids of Paris which started the idea. Ink 
Polaroids of Belle and Sebastian had started changing hands on Ebay for 
$250, which is a rip-off for a lot of rubbish- so I thought I'd better make 
it cheap again.
I hope to see some of you there, posting your own Polaroids.
Cheers,
Stuart

Subject: Sinister: branching out... it's time for another sini tape tree!
Message-ID: <BAY21-F3BAC036BA26384DBECD8299B50@phx.gbl>

(apologies to those of you who already received this on digest. but due to a 
cog in the sini machinery, it got very limited distribution...)

... kicking ass and taking names, that's me alright...
hello honey! how you doin? and hiya davey! welcome.. sorry about the
prolonged nursery stay, but now that you're out of nappies, join us at the
big kids table for cake and biscuits!
i'm so glad to see i spurred some activity, even with my embarassing html
fumble. oops
i haven't exactly been the model sini citizen lately either. i confess, i've
gone other to OTHER BOARDS. no, not bowlie. but other places. non music
related, in fact. shocking!
but i still have a soft spot for sinister, and i hate to see it die, so i'm
determined to revive!
i don't have a meticulous plan mapped out quite yet, but i'm working on it.
i do have plenty of time to scheme, however, since my (semi) new job allows
me hours perusing the interweb. and long mornings in front of the telly.
bless!
i've also moved house this summer, to a STUNNING old tenement flat on a
quiet street in glasgow's leafy west end. it's a very good street; it even
boasts a superstar in the form of mr murdoch hisself. ha! yeah, we're kinda
neighbours. no, i don't have him round for tea. tho maybe....
he's been too busy bumming around LA recording the NEW ALBUM anyway. i
should probably be more excited than i am. but maybe that's because i'm an
old hag, suspicious of this wacky new direction they're going in at the
moment. i heard some snippets of new stuff a few months ago, and was not
convinced. ah well...
that said, i have been spending an inordinate amount of time exploring mp3
blogs lately, and my new obsession is swedish music. it's glorious! jens
lekman, the chrysler, andrev bergstrom, speedmarket avenue... to name but a
few! i've been insatiable!
which got me to thinking...
how long has it been since we've had a sinister tape tree going? i think
it's time we get another one started! this time it would probably have to be
in CD format, i'm afraid, what with everyone using their ipods these days
and not their good old fashioned walkmans. it would be especially good if
the cds were filled with somewhat local music, so that us faraways could be
introduced to NEW SOUNDS. i volunteer to organise. anyone interested? if so,
email me. also, state if you have any posting preference. if you're a poor
working sod who can barely afford tea, nevermind international shipping
rates, let me know and i'll make sure the next person in the tree lives
close by.
i'll send a reply explaining the intricate details about how the whole thing
works. but basically, you just have to make ONE cd , and post it to one
person. in turn, you will receive a cd from another person. you'll have...
two weeks (sound ok?) to listen to the cd and copy it if you like. then you
send it along - to the same person you sent your original cd to. you're
always sending and receiving from the same person. make sense?
anyhoo... drop me a line if you're interested. or just to say HELLO! or if
you need travel advice of any sort, as i seem to have become a travel agent
on the side these days... hmmm.
and keep posting! or else....

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.63.0508201859520.589@localhost>

No, not "Stuart and me", "Stuart and ME": an article by Paul
Whitelaw in the Scotsman, what wrote that book.  Possibly it's an
extract or condensed Reader's Digest version.

http://news.scotsman.com/features.cfm?id=1811622005

Obviously I have an interest to declare as I've had the same thing
for 12 years, and our pal Ciara MacLaverty, the cover star of Feeling
Sinister has for longer.  If you don't have ME, you're just not hip.
Calling it CFS just isn't where it's at, but if you're not in the UK,
that's what you might know the condition as.

It's not a fantastic description of ME - I'm currently in the biggest
relapse of my life, and wouldn't manage sitting at a piano for half
an hour just now as per the article.  In fact, we have a harmonium in
the front room, Ivor Cutler fans.  But it's broken, which is probably
a blessing, at least for cats and neighbours.  My favourite Ivor
Cutler song is probably "Sharks", which you need to hear.

Anyway, the other point of this mail is to test the list, because it's
having jitters.  I spent yesterday trying to figure out why, with
the admirable help of Sir Kenneth of Chu, who I have yet to thank.
I think I know why now, and it's due to the stupidity of my hosting
company for missprint.org, who've suddenly taken it upon themselves
to count anyone mailing to more than about 10 people at a time as a
spammer, with idiot new software what they wrote (I seem to be quoting
Morecambe and Wise today, which isn't a core symptom of ME - sorry).
Funnily enough, if you pay them a heck of a lot more money, they stop
counting you as a spammer.

I've put in a kind of part fix to fiendishly avoid the stupid block,
so I guess if you get this mail it might have worked.  Miss Print's
will probably just explode though, like Willy Wonka's lift.

So it looks like I will have to move missprint somewhere more friendly,
which brings in a whole lot of other difficulties.  Progress will
be slow.  In the meantime, please bear in mind that there may be
times when the occasional message will get through to the digest,
but not to the main list, and won't be listed in the archive until
I patch it up later.  I'm really sorry about this, and will fix it.
If you're on the main list and notice your own message didn't get
through, please feel free to resend, but wait 24 hours or more,
like Spacey Stacey did.  Digesters may have to put up with the odd
repeated message until I can summon up the energy to move the list.
But I'd rather be using it to write "We Rule The School", if I could.

Please don't be put off posting!  List membership number is a very
very mysterious thing, worthy of investigation by Institutes of
Parapsychology: it has remained constantly at near 1500 for about 5
years, much to my astonishment, and that's with me weaning out the
old addresses constantly.  So pipe up.

Hi everyone,

With Honey's blessing, here goes my second try:

I've belonged to the list for a few months now but this is my first post. I've been a fan of B&S for a while, but have only recently (within the last year or so) gone all out and got my hands on everything of theirs I could. 

In response to Honey's requests for anyone to post on the book:
I work in publishing, specifically at the American publisher of this book so I was able to read it a while back when it was still in the galley stage. I even managed to spot a couple of factual errors that I was able to have corrected before the final print was done. Overall I enjoyed it, although I thought the author might have been a bit too reverential. I don't know how accurate it actually is since I'm not really familiar with the band's development and growing pains. But I thought it a good introduction for someone like me who's been a fan for a while but doesn't really know a lot about the band itself. I'd be really curious to find out other members' opinions on it, since it seems as if most of you are really knowledgeable about B&S.

Ana from NYC, 
via Newark and Lisbon

P.S. If anyone would like a copy of the book, I might be able to dig one up and send it along.

- which turned out to be the words of a mad cow.  In fact, as my
fiendish scheme to thwart the idiocy of the hosting company showed,
there were oodles of dead addresses subscribed to the list that I
hadn't seen, which I'm weaning out now, and should remove the problem.
We're a more select, secretive cabal now - a mere 1000 of us.  I will
probably still move the list at some point though, so there may be
a little bump but no changes in addresses etc.  I'll let you know if
I do.

It's taking me hours and hours and hours to remove all the old
addresses, even with frightening space-age technology from the future
helping me.  So please, can I ask that you give some thought to
your poor list mum slaving in the kitchen if you leave a college,
place of work or webmail host for dead: remember to unsubscribe.
The worst offenders are universities: I know it's hard to remember
to do anything when you've finished your last exam, and are off to
the city to become an accountant, but please try.  Second worst are
hotmail and AOL accounts, and places of work: similarly, please try
and remember.  It would make me happy and my life a little less bumpy
(and stop the list jamming).

I had a call from the hosting company this morning - two very formal
sounding american gentlemen on a conference call, because I'd annoyed
them by re-opening the fault call so many times.  They were very
polite, but I can only imagine what they thought of the annoying brit.
If what they're now finally telling me is correct, the list problems
should be cleared now or in a day or two, and won't recur if I clean
out the dead addresses.  Only a few more hundred to go.

I'm afraid I won't be taking any prisoners with bad addresses in
the near future because of the risk to the list, so if you run out
of quota, expect to be removed from the list fairly quickly.  But I
made the list software kind in that it'll send you a few warnings
after it's ejected you for a bit, and tell you what to do.  And it'll
remember if you were out of the nursery, and not put you back in.
If you get bounce messages without going over quota, it'll probably
be because your mail provider is using some broken software that's
interpreting Sinister mails as spam (or *obscene*) and I can't handle
the error messages.  Sign up with someone else, get a Gmail account,
or something: I can give you one if you like, just ask.

Anyway, I'm sorry to bog down the list with admin, but sometimes the
dishes need washing before you can settle down to watch Mork and Mindy.
But it's not what you come here to read.  Below I'm going to repost a
mail from Michael and Lisa which didn't get through to the main list
(Poor Michael tried twice on my suggestion!).  Sorry to them and two
others who had to resend!  And to digesters who will have seen these
before.  But they're *so good* you'll want to see them again I'm sure.

I should have listened to the scholarly Pinefox of course who told
me in July that something was up.  Lesson: always listen ye to the
Pinefox, yay, though he may whisper humbly and tentatively.

Honey x

P.S. Know what?  It's Sinister's 8th birthday on Saturday.  What will
*you* be doing?

Subject: Sinister: oh yeah, let's hit some fun summer storytime.

oh yeah, let's hit some fun summer storytime. i haven't posted here
for YEARS. (well, a while. i can't be bothered to check the archives
and find out, but it's definitely over a year. probably many). i have
however, always been keeping one eye on this old girl, just to see
how's she's getting on.

it had never really crossed my mind to post something here again (even
when i - and the list - was more active, i'd never have described
myself as a regular poster or anything) but stacey's post about summer
bike rides, picnics and the like, just got me thinking. wouldn't it be
great if everyone posted little fun summer stories? (sorry southern
hemisphere people. you can have winter stories too). y'know, little
anecdotes about wasting away summer days in the park, or a general
'this is what i've done / am doing with my summer' post. and when this
thought crossed my mind, i realised how much of a sinister-esque idea
it was. i don't think there's many places where posts about sitting in
the park would be par for the course. and that got me all
sinister-nostalgic.

and that got me to here. sitting typing out a sinister post, listening
to old skool b&s. it's been such a long time since i sat and listened
to them. i do listen to the new stuff a fair bit, (i'm a huge fan of
'stay loose' and 'your cover's blown'), but i never really reach back
and have a listen to tigermilk or iyfs. i don't know why. maybe i just
over-listened to them in the past. but it's fun. as much for the
memories of when i did listen to them every day (or thereabouts) as
for the music itself.

well, before i get all super-nostalgia crazy. (which inevitably leads
to mind-fuckery-interal-conversations about what happened to my life
in the intervening years. this is a BAD THING!!) i'd better get on
with my summer post. which you are all welcome, nay obliged!! to join
in with.


- ------------------
my summer
- ------------------

my summer so far has been kind of odd. i have moved to the big bad
london town, from cosy glasgow. why, i hear you all screaming. well,
numerous reasons that are either too boring for you to care about, or
too exciting for you to cope with. but the short answer is boredom.
and claustrophobia. not literally. i didn't find myself trapped in a
lift or anything. but just the feeling that there was no space in
glasgow anymore. too many people and situations i was avoiding, i
guess. some perfectly reasonable, others the fantasies of a paranoid
mind.

anyway, i did the sensible, grown-up thing and ran away from my
problems. and ended up in big shiny london town. it's been good. it's
kind of like being on holiday. the hot weather (we don't get real
summers in glasgow), new people to meet, new places to go. when i
first came down, i'd ride the train into the centre of town every day,
and end up just wandering around. getting irritated by tourists,
stifled by the heat, amazed by the random little places i would find,
and amused by the absurdity of it all. the crazy bustle. the bizarre
mixture of toursits and locals and whoever else might be wandering the
streets. the super-familiar landmarks, that lose their landmark status
so quickly after you've walked past them for the sixth time that day.
(it's easy to keep getting turned in circles when you're wandering
aimlessly).

i've been here six weeks, and things are slightly different now. it's
kind of like the end of a holiday. certain places and people have
become more familiar to you now, but you still don't really know where
you are. you know where the shops are, and the pub, and so on. but
only because of the routine you've been following. you're aware you've
only scratched the surface. and i think this is going to be the big
jump. from holiday-tourist mode, into proper livng-in-the-city mode.
i'm guessing this will be helped by the fact i start working on
monday. and hopefully, i'll be finding somewhere to live soon too.
(i've just been crashing with a friend so far).

i guess this is why i've avoided making any quick judgements about
living here. i know this is just the first transition phase. so every
time i catch myself thinking 'this city's great', i'll stop and remind
myself that this doesn't really count. i'm still just a visitor. i'll
need to wait a little longer to make my mind up. but so far it has
been fun. (with the obvious exception. which i'm deliberately leaving
out. another train of thought for another time)

anyway, there's a couple of specific anecdotes from my summer in
london that i was thinking of posting. but i;m sure i've rambled on
about the New Place enough for now. besides, neither of them are that
funny. i'll wait til i've got some comedy gold to hit you with, and
then post again.

so come on kids. get your SUPER SUMMER POSTING FUN on. i want stories
of day trips to the country, or day trips to the city. or another
city. or your musings from your summer days of wasting. bring it on. i
dare you.

Subject: RE: Sinister: Posting is the new lurking

I've been a bit of a wallflower in here, the last few years, leaving and 
returning unnoticed, but I thought I'd drop a short line and maybe make my 
presence known, if a little awkwardly.

I tend to be a bit shy...

I blinked, and summer seems to have passed me by, here on the Canadian 
prairies... It's just mid-August, and I've already caught my first autumn 
cold, and have pulled out the scarf (muffler?) I use for inbetween seasons. 
The elms on my street are slowly hinting at a yellowy-green and as I ride 
the train accross the North Sasketchewan river to get to the south side of 
town, I can see bunches of bright yellow in the upper limbs of the aspens 
and poplars slipping by below me. Sad sad sad...

I've actually missed the bi-weekly hour-and-a-half Greyhound rides to my 
hometown since I haven't had the chance to see the snowy fields turn to 
muddy fields turn to misty green to green and gold canola (rapeseed?) and 
wheat and whatever else might turn a profit for the farmers, these days.
I've been living in the city for about three years now, and my trips "home" 
are getting fewer and further between, and somehow I'm missing the way the 
seasons change. From my Mom's kitchen window, you can see the seasons change 
in her garden and in the low hills that ring the town.

Sorry, I'm getting sappy sentimental, but this 'far' north (I'm on the 52nd 
parallel, but my geography is crap, so I don't know where that is in 
relation to anyone else on here - you all seem so far away...) seasons 
changing is, well, how one marks time, and if I don't notice the seasons, 
maybe I'm getting old, or maybe I'm getting too wrapped up in silly 
unimportant things... who knows...

anyway, I've rambled long enough... it's been lovely reading from all of you 
posting, lately... perhaps somebody in the Southern Hemisphere can write and 
tell me how spring is getting on? I heard it snowed somewhere in Australia 
not too long ago...

well, yes, there's me, nothing better to talk about than the weather...

love.

Subject: Sinister: A journey of 12,000 miles
Message-ID: <bf76b7d505082212268dd7aeb@mail.gmail.com>

You may remember me from a long time ago, when I occasionally posted
things here. It seemed strange to be one of so few B&S fans in New
Zealand, but I stumbled across the band. I was at school with Honey a
long, long, long time ago, and when I found out what he was up to, it
was natural to look into these musicians he was so excited about, and
I did that.
The music was magical in a way I hadn't come across since the days of
the Television Personalities. They could have been bigger than the
Beatles, but in fact this never happened.
At the end of June, my family and I left New Zealand to return to
England, which we left in 1990. This was largely for family reasons.
Our arrival back at Heathrow was not the brightest, being on the
morning of 7th July. After overcoming the shock of these events, we
have started to settle again into the life of the homeland, where one
of the most noticeable things is the soundtrack to life. The music
that is played in supermarkets, cafes, pubs, clubs and lifts in
Angleterre, while maybe not the music I would choose, is so much more
in tun with my inner self than the music played in supermarkets,
cafes, pubs, clubs and lifts in New Zealand. Is this just me, or is it
like that for everyone who returns home?

If you want a gmail invitation, don't pester Honey: he's got enough to
worry about. Pester me instead. I've got enough to worry about too,
but that's another story.

well hello sinister,

it's been a while (apart from that email i sent to you all by mistake, which 
made me look and feel very silly, so let's not talk about that. that's what 
happens when you put the address for a mailing list in your contacts list. 
woops.)

it was brought to my attention over the weekend by sir kenneth of chu, and 
then again today, by miss honey, that this saturday (yes! THIS saturday!) is 
the list's 8th birthday. so, i thought i'd do the honourable thing and 
propose a picnic, this saturday, in the park. i suggest a jaunt to 
kelvingrove park, glasgow, on saturday afternoon, with BOUZE and FOOD and 
other such delights.

who's with me? and more importantly, who wants to take on the responsibility 
of being picnic mummy (because as anyone who knows me can attest, i will 
most definitely be late, and that's no good to anyone)?

Hi everyone,

Just a short post to let anyone else who might've been interested that the extra copy of 'Just a Modern Rock Story' that was up for grabs, has now been claimed. 
If someone should still want a non-free copy, contact me privately.
I'm able to buy books from my press at half off, so I could get a few discounted copies for those that are interested.
Wish I was in Glasgow so I could go picnicking :o(

tchau,
ana

Eight years? Good grief... it both feels like yesterday and a  
lifetime ago all at once. But then this Pop life tend to be like  
that, doesn't it? Sadly (well actually not sadly at all because i  
shall be enjoying it greatly) on Saturday i will be taking tea with  
my parents, whom i havent seen for far too long, and generally being  
A Good Son (as opposed to the rather dreadful noisy son i am for the  
other 364 days of the year). But on Sunday i will be leaping on the  
train at Troon station and heading Glasgow-wards in order to attend  
the rather marvellous looking Plan B all-day extravaganza at Mono. I  
suggest that that all Sinisterines would heartily enjoy this day (and  
indeed evening) out. People will be talking during the afternoon  
about, oooh, oodles of indie things, and other people will be playing  
records. Then in the evening Jens Lekman is playing! So we can all  
swoon. Then  cheer. Then swoon some more. Then sing along. And swoon.  
And cheer again. Oh, and did i mention swooning?

Anyway, I'LL be there, possibly selling magazines or being surly on  
the door at some point, so please do come and point and say 'oh so  
YOU'RE The Duke Of Harringay. I imagined you'd be so much more  
debonair and handsome...' Sigh. So did I... so did I...  This will be  
even funnier (okay, it will be mildly funny as opposed to hardly  
worthy of raising a wry grin) if the person you say this to is not in  
fact me... so, actually, i suggest everyone goes up to random people  
(best keep it to blokes, i expect) and ask them if they are the Duke  
Of Harringay. See what funny looks you get from the hipsters.

Well, i'll find it funny.

keep the faith, kids.

The Duke

Dear sinisterines

Well, I think a picnic is a great idea, for lots and lots of reasons...Honey is 
telling me I should go, even though she can't, but I am a bit crap about 
getting places and turning up at all, and me knee is playing up, and my back 
isn't what it used to be, and as for my eyes...

actually speaking of my eyes, I was in an opticians rcently and by a tangental 
leap the young whppersnapper of the optician and I got talking about Carey late 
of this parish and of Camera Obscura..obviously puzzled by my acquaintance with 
the young lady in question he asked if I was a musician. The temptation to give 
voice to my alternative reality in which I am her out of the Delgados surged, 
but I resisted.
Other lies less spectacular - maintaining the fiction of being Irish and
having visited Orkney - have caused enough trouble. So, I said primly that
I met her through a friend. And that friend is you, sinister.

I have enjoyed the lyrical posts of late summer, and the report from gigs and 
of books, and the requests for reports of gigs and books. It's nice to see 
sinister rippling again..

Honey and I have two new kittens, which I hope we can keep, as they are 
invading the resident cat's happy home, but at the moment the five of us girls 
are all piled up together listening to Echo and the Bunnymen - Honey is doing 
sinister stuff and playing the music, Mitsou is chewing her paw, Scout (or 
maybe we'll call her Frog) is dreaming of eating beetles, Splat is trying to 
pretend we all don't exist and I am writing to you.

Take care.

Linda

PS Just read The Duke's email - Jens is swoonworthy - Katta sent us some 
of his stuff and we like..

Message-ID: <448775384.1124790091@slisr301.central.susx.ac.uk>

I wonder if this message will make it through... I feel like a friend in a 
far away country, scrabbling through faded entries in an old address book, 
hoping you still live where you used to...

I still live here, in sunny Brighton. Still a language library drone, still 
a part-time poet who drinks too much tea. A new development is that I'm 
MARRIED, however. Yes, I finally made an honest man out of Matt and we have 
spent our married life so far getting drunk and cooking up exciting meals 
so we can use our new Habitat tableware.

Many members of this parish were in attendance as we celebrated the 
nuptials with silly dancing, including Liz. I could write so much, but for 
now I just want to say how lucky I feel to have had her there on the best 
day of my life :)

For my 8th birthday I played French cricket and dead fishes, and threw a 
tantrum. I hope Sinister will do similar. As it happens there WILL be some 
birthday celebrations going on in Brighton on Saturday (not exclusively 
Sinister ones, but the key elements of booze, sea, DDR and red knickers 
will doubtless be there).  Just email me for details if you'd like to come!

And do something pretty while you can.

Much love,
Archel xxx

physicality - what springs to mind on first feel? Canvas and glue. Bah,
I prefer Dr Who novels.

Actually, wouldn't "Canvas and Glue" be a good song title? And I'm not
just saying that because I've taken to listening to "Concrete and Clay"
every morning. Not the cr0ss-dr3ssing LP by Kevin of course, but a
catchy little number from the olde 1960s which I recommend to you all.
And if you have the tweeny bopper version by Darren Bryne/Burn/Burne
WHATEVER then please can I have it? I only have the Unit 4+2 version
which am GOOD but it am no CIGAR.

Is the Indiepop list still running? I tried resubbing a couple of months
ago and no joy, also the archives appeared to be down, but if all
they're doing is talking about their favourite B&S albums in order then
that is NO DICE for me eh.

1. Sinister
2. Arab Strap
3. Tigreleche (2 and 3 = interchangeable)
4-infinity. The rest of the others which I have probably not heard.

My office is freezing today, I have had to borrow a jumper. Apparently,
outside is suffering a heatwave. A mail from my friend in WC1 speaks of
sweltering. It is as alien to me as the thought of Mickey's return to Dr
Who being anything but UTTERLY APPALLING ie VERY VERY ALIENG but not in
a GOOD WAY.

I am not going to any fvcking picnic in fvcking GLAS-GAY, thank you very
much for asking though.

Message-ID: <BAY21-DAV10A2951AF409EFF6B15CE8E8A90@phx.gbl>

We're going to have a little picnic among Estonian sinistereens ourselves in
Tallinn as Glasgow is just a bit too far away. I don't know about the other
two girls but i'll be sure to wear red knickers to celebrate the 8th
birthday. I'll be wearing other things too but that's sort of irrelevant
right now. The funny thing is that all of us went to same art school, all of
us studied product design and all of us are/were part of sinister without
others knowing... Until it came out in one party, where else, when one of us
put Belle and Sebastian record on, can't quite remember who it was but the
record was Tigermilk.
Now, there might be more sinistereens in Estonia that i know nothing about
and if there is and they want to come along for some cake and pop and nice
music would you be so kind and indentify yourself to me on my email? We're
quite nice really and huggable too..

I also think Starry Stacey's idea of tape, sorry CD tree, is great! i'm up
for it Stace!

And be nice to Honey, she has been through a LOT lately. Send her nice words
and hugs via internet if you can. Could be a photo of your red knickers
too...

button-badges but on my jacket, i guess i'm a bit short-sighted... come out 
the chalet lines & rule the school for once, you sinister people from france

Blimey, I'd given up on this whole Sinister thing ages ago.I just couldn't 
quite bring myself to unsubscribe after 8 years. So if there's an attempt to 
bring things back to life, I'm in...

I guess I should introduce myself really, since I've posted, like, once in 
the last three years. I used to be on here a lot, honest... But then life 
got in the way; things like travelling round the world, running around a 
lot, drinking even more, and occasionally pretending to work.

Then last year I moved to the States. Well, not really - this isn't America, 
this is Portland. It's a different world. A world where they rip up a 
freeway to put in a new park, where bikes are twenty times more common than 
Hummers, and where you can actually get decent beer instead of Budweiser. A 
fantastic place to live, at least until Mt St Helens blows up again. And 
it's also the most indie city around (OK, Austin might dispute that) - Dandy 
Warhols, Everclear, Modest Mouse, Steven Malkmus, The Shins, Sleater-Kinney, 
The Decemberists, Elliott Smith...

And to all those sinisterines I used to know, and haven't seen in two years 
or more; I'll be over in the UK 29/9 - 9/10, fancy a pint?

Message-ID: <BAY24-F293624DF596CDD107362E4DEA90@phx.gbl>

Okay kids, you asked for it. Here are my TOP TEN BELLE AND SEBASTIANS:

1. Johann Sebastian Bach: During my GCSE music examination we were required 
to listen to pieces of classical music and identify them as Baroque, 
Classical, Romantic or Modern. The Baroque one was by JS Bach. The Modern 
one featured a wind machine. Call this an exam? Kids these days don't know 
they're born etc. etc. yawn yawn. JS Bach is famous for writing the theme 
music for The Antiques Roadshow, a Rock Opera featuring Hugh Scully as the 
Electric Gymnast.

2. La Belle Epoch: During which the French invented the bicycle, the beret, 
the stripey jumper and the stupidly long loaf of bread. Before these 
extraordinary advances, France had merely been known as "South Belgium".

3. John Sebastian: Lead singer with the Lovin' Spoonful, John was also the 
inventor of the Troob pedal, designed to make your guitar "sound like a 
baby".

4. Saint Sebastian: And Lo! he was attacked by arrowse, but he was okay cos 
he was a saint. Or perhaps he was Batfink in disguise. Ah, they never 
thought of that did they? The whole of world religion perishes before my 
keen mind.

5. Belle the big soggy dog: In the television programme "Belle and 
Sebastian", Belle was a big soggy dog and Sebastian was a humble accountant, 
trying to balance the books while Belle nibbled on his biros and shat in his 
bottom drawer. The name "Belle and Sebastian" was later adopted by a pop 
group, who used to do much the same thing.

6. Sebastian Coe: When I was young I used to get confused between Sebastian 
Coe, Linford Christie and Steve Cramps, because my sister had told me "oh, 
Sebastian Coe's the one with the yellow shoes. It took me ages to realise 
they *all* had yellow shoes. Sebastian Coe is now a Lord. If you're ever in 
Westminster, he's the one wearing the yellow shoes.

7. Belle de Jour: A film in which we get to see Catherine Deneuve's lovely 
bottom. I can't remember much else about it, really.

8. Mini Baby Bel: Official cheese of Captain Scott's expedition to the South 
Pole, the Mini Baby Bel has the advantage of being able to be used as a 
candle due to it being mostly composed from wax. Of course, Scott hadn't 
banked on cheese being the favourite food of the Husky dog, thus causing 
catastrophe after his dogs scoffed the lot then ran about sniffing each 
other's bottoms. Thus the expedition was DOOMED, as the only food left was 
cream crackers, rendered inedible due to the lack of cheese.

9. Sebastian Forks: An author who wrote a book called Birdsong about a 
sparrow who loses his hat and sings a sad sad song.

10. Bell End: Situated near to that wonderful town of Kidderminster, this 
village provided a popular destination for girls at my school who often 
confessed to going down there at the weekend. If the girl's boyfriend was 
lucky, she might take him on a short trip to Lickey End. See: 
http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=390000.794068583&Y=275000.6804016&width=500&height=300&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=freegaz&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=0&scale=100000&right.x=6&right.y=97

Well, that's enough of that. I'm off to put my red underpants in the wash.

Toodle-oo

oooh picnic! i'll be there baby (as should you linda! yes!) with red 
knickers on (i'm wearing some today in anticipation!)
tho i'd rather be in tallinn. i've been itching for a baltic visit for ages. 
and sweden as well. tho luckily we have a little bit - and a gorgeous bit at 
that - of sweden winging his way here... JENS. mmmmm dreamy. wouldn't miss 
him for the world.. so i might just meet the duke!
this week just gets better and better...
you should ALL organise picnics, even if it's with you and your dog. any 
excuse to get to a park and be twee should be embraced openly.
speaking of twees (you like what i did there?), so far i have 12 monkeys 
lining up for a swing from the sini tape tree. any other takers? all names 
by saturday please!
i just took one of those suspicious online personality tests which revealed 
i am the anal retentive perfectionist organised type. whowouldathunkit? i 
hope this doesn't mean i get nominated as picnic mummy... tho i'll probably 
bake the cake. mmm cake.
*hugs to honey*
(okay, to you too... i'm an equal opportunity hugger)

Goodness! So much activity! I can barely keep up with reading posts- a
nice change, I have to say.

I'm glad to see so many people planning picnics- Glasgow, Tallinn, and
now Paris? I feel that there should be a NYC picnic, but I don't think
there are many NYCers left. Prove me wrong?

Eh, even if there was one, I'd probably be too lazy to show up.

Solid, yeah-

Id go! Of course, it would need to be in Prospect
Park, and involve cans of PBR and looking dour for no
reason.

This bounced back, so I'll try again.

You know how people in NYC are. Never want to admit we actually have
spare time and all. I'm closer to McCarren Park, but I'd be down if it
was there. And I always look dour!

I'm writing up a proper post, inspired by everyone's sudden, shocking
outgoing behavior. Wait with baited breath, or not.

I'd been thinking the same thing, i.e. there should be a picnic for NYCers.
I'm actually over in Jersey (work in NYC), but I think I might be able to make it as well. As long as it wasn't too deep in the wilds of Brooklyn. I have a bit of a propensity to get hopelessly lost in unfamiliar territory.

Goodness! So much activity! I can barely keep up with reading posts- a
nice change, I have to say.

I'm glad to see so many people planning picnics- Glasgow, Tallinn, and
now Paris? I feel that there should be a NYC picnic, but I don't think
there are many NYCers left. Prove me wrong?

Eh, even if there was one, I'd probably be too lazy to show up.

Bill Naughton was a British playwright and author, best known for his play
"Alfie".

Naughton was born on June 12th, 1910 in Ballyhaunis, County Mayo. Naughton's
family moved to Bolton in Lancashire in 1914, where he attended St Peter and
Paul School. He worked as a weaver, coal-bagger and lorry-driver before he
started writing, where his preferred environment was working class society.
Although "Alfie" is the play with which he will always be associated, he was
a prolific writer.

His work includes "The Goalkeeper's Revenge: And Other Stories", a
collection of thirteen short stories first published in 1961. 

During his lifetime, he received the Screenwriters Guide Award in 1967 and
1968, the Italia Prize for Radio Play in 1974, the Children's Rights
Workshop Other Award in 1978 and the Portico Literary Prize in 1987.

Naughton died aged 81 in 1992, in Ballasalla on the Isle of Man. 

"The Goalkeeper's Revenge" also happens to be the title of the next Belle
and Sebastian album, if you believe Rolling Stone.

Greetings and salubrious salutations
my god i feel like i am greeting a friend who had disappeared into the
amazon (Which coincidentally happened earlier this). My inbox is
suddenly a flutter with sinister: emails which is nice. I have missed
it so. I have consoled myself over the last few months with bowlie
which is fine. Like Mr Gardiner, i just couldn't bring myself to
unsubscribe from the list, out of loyalty i suppose and also for fear
of missing out on a renaissance, which is a damn good thing. So the
list is 8 and britpop is 10, i'm suddenly feeling old.
It hit me when i was flicking on VH2 how old i actually am, i remember
buying country house on the same day that my brother bought roll with
it and listening to them both before admitting that i preferred oasis.
I hope all is well with everyone, i know we have lost one of our
numbers, and although i never met her i still have some of her list
emails from the old times....
  so...music....anyone catch devendra banhart and the hairy fairys on
this tour? it really did blow me away, the show defied any
expectations i had of him, we had the added bonus of donovan being
present at our show, but contrary to reports, he did not take to the
stage but according to the drummer he did get hideously drunk with
them and then tried to drive home, to which the merchandise girl
stopped him and crashed in one of their rooms..surreal? i'd say so
stay cool

Well hello there,

Archel, who doesn't know that she was my very first list crush (oh, so
many years ago), mentioned getting married, which reminded me: I did,
too. Got married, I mean. Some time ago, really. November, if memory
serves. I'd have to ask my wife to be sure, but at any rate, an
announcement suddenly seems long overdue, so here it is. 
The wedding was a good time and being married's lovely. The wedding was
attended by a number of the Old Skool New York City Sinister Brigade,
Sewing Circle And Dance (Dance Revolution) Revue, though the absence of
Julie Hewitt (nee Sauer, whose contact information I will not give out,
thank you very much) was noted and lamented. Can't really blame a girl
who's all the way on the bottom of the world for not turning up at a
wedding in New Jersey, though, I reckon. I suspect the ones who were
present are among the long lost non-working email addresses on which
Honey's working so diligently.

xo,
Will Porter

darlings.

good lord.  i, too, never could bring myself to
unsubscribe from sinister.  i even went on and
switched over when i got a new email address.  i've
been peeking through the windows at all you little
ones having your tea parties and not Not wanting to
join in but also wondering why i didn't recognize
anyone.  now i am all tear-y eyed at all this
REPORTING BACK and picnic-planning and
red-knicker-wearing.  

right, so, i'm ree, and i used to post a great deal
about 5 or 6 years ago.  i was in fact in attendance
at willpie porter's wedding where all the sinisterines
were put in a corner with the unmarried girl cousins. 
of course, once they were able to get away, will & his
lovely lady spent a good portion of their time with
the "internet friends."

oh and, after years of being an unofficial nyc listee,
i am now a permanent one.  might i suggest the
cloisters for a picnic?  i attended my very first
sinister picnic there 6 years ago, and it was lovely. 
and while the central park picnic in honor of julie
sauer hewitt's birthday many moons ago was lovely, i
get so overwhelmed there.

right, must go re-read the FAQs which tell me to
consider carefully whether or not i really think that
(oh gosh could it really be) 1,000s of listees want to
read my message.

be well.

xo,
ree

Sinister-types,

I just thought I should let you all know, I am not yet married. Nor do I have any immediate plans to do so.  I haven't changed much, at all, in the last three years, except for now I have a cat and a different car.  Life's fun that way!

Wish I were picnicking with you all.

Ree,

Thanks for the suggestion for picnic locale. I just went to the cloisters for the first time a few weeks ago (after living in the area for 20 years) and absolutely fell in love with the area. It's easily reached by subway, so it shouldn't be too much of a bother for any of us to get to.
So how about it?
Any NYCers want to picnic there this saturday in honor of sinister's 8th birthday?

darlings.

good lord.  i, too, never could bring myself to
unsubscribe from sinister.  i even went on and
switched over when i got a new email address.  i've
been peeking through the windows at all you little
ones having your tea parties and not Not wanting to
join in but also wondering why i didn't recognize
anyone.  now i am all tear-y eyed at all this
REPORTING BACK and picnic-planning and
red-knicker-wearing.  

right, so, i'm ree, and i used to post a great deal
about 5 or 6 years ago.  i was in fact in attendance
at willpie porter's wedding where all the sinisterines
were put in a corner with the unmarried girl cousins. 
of course, once they were able to get away, will & his
lovely lady spent a good portion of their time with
the "internet friends."

oh and, after years of being an unofficial nyc listee,
i am now a permanent one.  might i suggest the
cloisters for a picnic?  i attended my very first
sinister picnic there 6 years ago, and it was lovely. 
and while the central park picnic in honor of julie
sauer hewitt's birthday many moons ago was lovely, i
get so overwhelmed there.

right, must go re-read the FAQs which tell me to
consider carefully whether or not i really think that
(oh gosh could it really be) 1,000s of listees want to
read my message.

be well.

xo,
ree

Hello darlings,

It has been some time since I even turned on this little white box in 
the corner.  Life gallops past, and the hooves make dents in all sorts 
of unfortunate places.  Oh life, stop a while, come to tea.  I've made 
donuts.

Actually, I bought them.

Actually, I stole them from Kwiksave.  I smuggled them out down my 
knickers.  Everyone is doing it, so Stephen Hewitt tells me.  They're 
still quite edible if you brush off the hairs.  Here have one.  Have 
two.  Wasn't it the Buddha that said "Eat donuts while you may?".

Or was it Clare Grogan?  I always get those two mixed up.

Go on, its your special birthday treat from me.  8 years, eh?

I wonder if my 8th birthday was a wild ride of rock n roll, crazy 
dancing and those little sweets you used to get that looked like 
flying saucers but tasted like a squirrel had shat in your mouth.  I 
wonder if, like Rachel, I played with french fishes and threw a 
cricketer?  Probably not.  What does one play with a french fish 
anyway?  I suspect you have to live in Brighton to know.
I guess the day slipped by with me feeling slightly square, and 
unsure, and forgetting to thank those people who loved me for doing 
the best they could for me, because I was too caught up in myself. 
Not unlike those traits, many years later, that led me to buy a little 
red CD with a louche lounging lass on the front and promise of 
something dark within - who'd have known what wonderful people lived 
inside the CD?  Not just the imaginary sort of people either.  Real 
ones.  More real than the people who live under the fridge.  And more 
friendly than most of those that didn't.  Some of you lived in a world 
that looked and felt a little bit like mine.  And though that world 
doesn't feel like it did any more, in fact it changes from day to day, 
I know that you've touched it, somewhere.

So, yeah, happy 8th birthday, sinister.  Thanks for all you've done 
for me.  And you've really done a lot.  I hope we can celebrate your 
9th birthday with something long and cool, with an ice cube and a 
slice of lemon.  Failing that, a drink will do instead.

When you're 10, you'll start finding my jokes funny.  Oh yes.  That's 
what happens when you're 10.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So - I didn't post at the start of last month.  Right at the very 
start, I wanted to talk about Rachel's wedding, the smiles of the 
beautiful couple and the friends dancing, drinking on the beach and 
sitting in the Southern sun. For just a few days after the event, I 
had a great big smile.

Then, things changed.  And I'll miss one of those friends, though I 
never got the chance to know her as well as I would have liked.  And I 
wish I'd told her how much I liked her, though part of me consoles 
myself that she knew.  I don't see my Sinister friends often enough. 
Such are the perils of living in parochial, uncivilised regions in the 
Far North (or Deep South, depending where you're coming from).  I 
realised the last time I saw Liz that it had been nearly a year.  We 
said that it was far too long, and that it wouldn't be so long next 
time.  Still, it felt like she understood me, somehow, saw through the 
bullshit and sort of liked me despite that.  Perhaps she liked the 
bullshit a bit, too.
  I was going to show you some ink polaroids, since they seem to be 
the new old thing, but you'll have some of your own I'm sure.  Mine 
are all smeared with beer and uncertainty.  The hand that took them is 
steadier, but the mind still wibbles from time to time.

If I did pick one, it would be the group of us dancing to S Club 7, 
enjoying the fact that we all secretly liked the song rather a lot - I 
think it was Don't Stop Movin', though I remember it as Reach For The 
Stars.  The promises in that are prettier, if harder to believe.  I 
catch her eye, and she raises her eyebrow.  I laugh, and things seem 
wonderful, for that moment.  Rachel and Matt just got married.  I'm so 
happy for them, and sort of happy for us, being here, getting to share 
it with them.

I could say a lot more in that vein, but you have your own memories 
and I'm not sure that you need many more of mine.  I've drafted a few 
mails lately but like a few others, I suspect, I feel a bit clumsy 
with what I've written, and worried of causing more sadness.  I hope 
that hasn't happened but that's why it was short, and it took a while, 
and its hidden under talk of squirrels and baked goods.

I'll come back to right now, then.  So, yeah, happy birthday little 
one - or as happy as you can be.  Thanks for the friends you brought 
me.  I can hardly believe you're 2000 feet tall.  No longer a boy with 
naivety, but perhaps still believing that type can succeed.  Because 
some days the implausible promises are the best, and we all have to 
believe in something.  Maybe the Buddha said that.  Maybe he didn't.

Buddhered if I know.

Remember, when you're 10, that sort of thing will make you laugh.  Oh 
yes.

Love and birthday kisses.

Uncle Ian.

Subject: Sinister: has it been this long?
Message-ID: <8dc9ee5005082416421a3935e5@mail.gmail.com>

When I was in school, there were test days where I would be the first
one to finish, but I was very self-conscious about waiting until
someone else turned in their paper before I turned in mine; the way I
figured, everyone notices the first person to pipe up, but nobody
notices the second.  Eventually I moved away for high school, and I
got to play cards after tests so of course I wanted to be the first
one out of the room (I failed a lot of math tests), but I suppose I
never completely got over that particular habit.  I'd been meaning to
write, in order to break the silence around here, but what if nobody
else spoke up in return?  Then it would be weird.

Sinister!  I had despaired of our paths crossing again, or whatever
the inter-net equivalent happens to be, and now it's like the old days
again with picnics and that sort of thing.  I even remember some of
the names of people who are writing, and it is good to hear from you
even though for the most part I have not gotten to know you very well.

I sort of remember my eighth birthday; I went bowling and had a party.
 It snowed that day; I remember being really excited about that
because it doesn't snow that much in November in Illinois.  Now I live
in The South where it doesn't snow at all.  Tragic!  In any event,
perhaps I will commemorate the list's eighth year with bowling, since
that's how I commemorated mine.  Or I will hang around the apartment
and play Dance Dance Revolution, because I can do that, too.  In any
event, I will definitely have a tiny Chapel Hill picnic, although it
might end up just being me and my flatmate and the stuffed firefox who
lives with us.

Other than all that, I've mostly spent this past year listening to the
Go! Team because they are awesome.  -kevin

Hi Sinister,

I think a NYC picnic at the Cloisters is a lovely idea.  Pas/cal are 
playing at Tonic on Saturday, as well.  So if there are Belle & 
Sebastian fans who are also Pas/cal fans, we could take a (long) detour 
on the way home.

Subject: Sinister: Why AOL is bad for your health
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.63.0508250211220.21485@localhost>

Sinistereenies,

This will be short (for me).  I've spent all day glued to my laptop and
phone, trying to evade the utterly unfounded blocks AOL are putting
on Sinister mail, and my hosting company's over-zealous reaction as
they're terrified of AOL blocking them.  My powers of negotiation
are at an end.  I now have evidence that two AOL users are marking
Sinister mails, and indeed mails from me, as spam, and AOL take them
at their word.  It makes the list drop mails to all of you.  I may
discover who these users are soon.  Blame AOL, and blame those who
are doing it.

To reassure you, I think the list's only dropped one very short mail
because of this since I last spoke to you.  I don't want there to be
any more.

Having spent two whole days doing this, with numerous calls to the
US, it's clearly not any way to spend a life, so I've mailed then
removed all AOL users from the list other than those who replied to
an email I sent to them yesterday (thank you).  You can resubscribe
if you like, but I advise *all* AOL users to move to a new ISP now,
or subscribe to Sinister via a webmail site.  Those left on AOL will
be missing mails probably.  You might not even get this.

Many lists have had to ban AOL users because of the way AOL operate
their spam filters - rather than scanning content, they simply
believe their own users who say they got spam.  This opens the way
to abuse, or mails being marked as spam by AOL users who don't know
what they're doing or are just lazy.  It's extremely likely I'll have
to ban AOL users soon because of this - sorry, but you need to blame
AOL not me.  I'll be too busy blaming my hosting company for their
bullied schoolchild reaction to this.  The list will be moving from
them soon, if I can get well enough to do it.

Please see http://www.missprint.org/sinister/#aol if you want more
of the sordid tale.  I'll post more there but not bore the list with
this if it's just an AOL matter: this list isn't a list about lists,
or about AOL, or about computers - I feel guilty enough sending this.
Just thought you should know.  No stoning of innocent AOL users please.

2:30am.  My doctor will kill me.  Shh.

Sinister, in spite of all this your renaissance is remarkable, and
I love you for it.  You're like a sleepy dragon waking up after
seven years and peeking out of a cave, blowing a snort of smoke
and trotting off to eat some peasants who thought you were dead.
Continue to munch, please.

End of boring mails from a very tired list mum.  Please resume blowing
up balloons for Saturday and have a lovely time.

Honey

Message-ID: <BAY101-F72B427A5EDD02ADF957CAF3AB0@phx.gbl>

Yet another lurker delurking in the midst of all this flurry of activity.  I 
too have never unsubscribed, I too got married in the presence of some 
old-skool Sinisters.  Haven't we all grown?  I hope we've done our 
list-mummy proud.

Ooh, a Glasgow picnic.  I remember them, running round Kelvingrove Park in 
the rain, climbing fences in inappropriately short skirts, getting my 
sandwiches eaten by Rachel Sunnyset's dog and giggling at Mick Cooke, before 
passing out in the Tap after cheap �5 bottles of wine paid for by quiz 
machine winnings.  I would love to come join the Glasgow massive, but I have 
a pressing pre-arranged engagement in the pub with my mum.  Perhaps Stacey 
Dahlin or someone could keep me up to date with the inevitable pub details 
later in the day and I could be tempted along for a small shandy.

On a separate note, I am toying with the idea of going to see Belle and 
Sebastian in Malaga in October.  If anyone is up for it, please let me know. 
  And if you know me, and want to come with me, mail me off list as I may 
(*may*) be able to sort out cheap accommodation for us, if I decide to go.

I'm glad Sinister's back like it was.  Keep up the good work, folks.  It's 
not been the same without you.

Message-ID: <BAY108-F109AD31BC837B980D06934D0AB0@phx.gbl>

So here we go again�

How do I start? Where from?

Tracing reluctantly a path I haven�t dared to tread for quite some time. 
More than 3 years if memory doesn�t fail me, after which, here I am. Urged 
to put letters together, words in a string, somehow construct sentences out 
of this senselessness and help myself come through.

My fingers trying to figure out the steps of this dance on the keyboard.

I had burnt the map. I had broken the compass. I thought I remembered the 
way to posting by heart. We�ll see that.

It�s been really three years. Three years since that last suicidal post I 
wrote to sinister and then went offline and slit my wrists. I�ve recovered 
since then. Even the scars are hardly discernable any more. I received some 
incredibly supporting emails by people all over the Sinister world. Proving 
once more the wonder of this list, binding us together.  I never was your 
average poster. Oscillating between severe depression and outbursts of 
inexplicable euphoria, I used to pester the list with long, pointless �to 
most- stories with no (actual) content whatsoever. Drama queen or just a 
teenager with issues?

Three years of utter silence from my side. Little by little the list got 
rather quiet too. Disturbingly so, lately I would say.

But Sinister was and is a part of my life. A wor(l)d with which I can �even 
vaguely- identify myself with. A word that made me something else, something 
different, took me out of the crowd in its own unique, 
secret-code-sort-of-way� Like during that Belle and Sebastian show in Athens 
when I shouted during a pause between songs something about how Sinister was 
represented that night as well and Stuart (looking rather amazed) asked from 
the stage �Who said that?� � �Me!� I shouted back� �Are you on Sinister?� he 
asked back� �Yeah!� I said, already getting some strange looks by all the 
other people around me. �Where are you from?� was the next question� 
�Athens!�, �That�s great! Who would believe it that Sinister would spread so 
much!� (or so) he said as they got ready for the next song. We had the 
chance to catch up backstage later on so I would explain to him all the 
magic and wonder of this list.

Despite all the silence, I didn�t unsubscribe. I belong to the old 
generation of Sinisterines and this is a very precious title to let go of. I 
remember times when I would log in 4 times a day just to check my inbox 
which was full of sinister posts. Do you remember those times too? Times 
where I didn�t dare to go on holidays and leave my email unattended� It 
would overflow with all those emails from all of you.

Beautiful times. About picnics, body parts photos, sillustrations, tape 
trees, Christmas swaps, #sinister, custard biscuits, poetry parrots, list 
crushes (check appropriate subpage � rather outdated but it can get going 
once more), a temporary obsession over whether the girl in the photo of St. 
Lucy was a real girl on this list or just a prank, list abusers that we all 
fought against united (who remembers this creepy gal �Isabel Lark� and how 
she personally attacked Honey? � her photo is still up in the photo page) 
etc etc etc�.

Sinister was also the reason why some of the most wonderful people I have 
ever met came into my life�.
First of all: Honey. I still have this hand painted �princess� portrait of 
her which never made it to the post office. You still are still hiding 
somewhere behind my ear, blushing as I�m getting nasty with boys�.
Brier Random: Where is this guy? Last time I heard of him he had girl 
troubles, he was riding his vespa down the Santa Barbara streets, chilling 
in Butterfly beach�.
Stacey Dahling: Words fail me. It was a great time. From the first day to 
the last. I still owe you some mix cds, I haven�t forgotten. The tunes never 
seem good enough though and I always change my mind trying to perfect them� 
Which results to constant postponement. And some recipes as well!
Jules Markham: the first post that I ever received from sinister was from 
this amazing girl. I went and disappeared because of a burnt computer 
screen. If you�re reading this Jules I�m so sorry. I�ll get back to you 
soon. I promise.
Matt, Johnny, Christiaan, Will, Paul, Ulla and so many more�.

We�re entering a new era here. I think I can almost feel it. Heck� this is 
not your ordinary mailing list. It is a list that HAS TO DO with Belle and 
Sebastian but is not ABOUT them. B&S are the framework but the list itself 
is like the music that it stands for: �subtle as the wind is gray�

It�s had its ups. Its definite ups, and its inevitable downs. But we�re not 
gonna let it go down. Are we? Oh please promise me that we�ll try�.

There�s such a big part of this big, communal �US� made out of all those 
small individual �MEs�  hidden in the perfumed, pink parlours of Princess 
Honey that my heart sags when I think that one day it might cease to exist. 
And worse of all, because of our own negligence�.

To me, if music was a living entity, Sinister would be something like her 
everyday life. Her friends and penfriends. Her passions. Her long distance 
lovers. Her broken, but mended heart. Her problems. Her good times. Her 
-wild-  times. She�s never settled. I hope she never will. She knows how to 
move on when she has to. This Music, this List. Sinister.

Enjoy your picnics! Happy Birthday!



Joanna

Message-ID: <204BC787-9755-4419-A3C6-1B74CB60AFBF@gummijoh.net>

Hello all!

How fun it is to come from a small summer vacation and see my beloved  
sinister back with a bang. I havent been the activest of member, you  
can even call me a lurker but I read almost everything that comes in  
as it´s always fun to read what other people are doing and this is of  
course better than working :)

This summer has been great, having a blast with my friends every  
weekend and drinking myself senseless and partying until five or six  
in the morning, which is the Viking Icelandic thing to do really when  
having a good time. I got a big promotion at work early in the summer  
so I don´t have to work weekends no more which is a blast so I can  
watch my Premier League football with a hangover instead of missing  
the games. After I got single again I have also thrown myself into  
the musical indie pool and I think I have never listened to so much  
new music like these last few months and my god there is so much good  
stuff out there.

Iceland, being the lonely island it is in the Atlantic Ocean is  
normally not getting any good concerts but there are one and one that  
is fun to see. The promoters here mainly import old acts like Deep  
Purple, Alice Cooper and Iron Maiden which I have no longing to see  
as it´s both really expensive and I would rather spend my money on  
flying cheap to Denmark or the UK to see some good concert instead.  
The only good concert I have been to this summer was Antony and the  
Johnsons which were fucking amazing. That voice just sends shivers to  
do my spine every time and seeing him on stage just heightened the  
experience more.

Fun things that have happened is that early this year I was voted  
Iceland 4ths most sexiest man, something I am not proud of and I  
smell foulplay as my company is a big one by Icelandic standards and  
I think they had something to do with it and because of that the  
production company of The Icelandic Bachelor have harassed me more  
than anything because they want me one the show which will happen the  
same day as hell freezes over... which is never :) Not my thing and  
not my style :)

Hope everybody is well, and good times at your Sinister Picnics  
around the world.

Gummi

Ps.

Is it not Stuart´s M birthday today?

Well, I think I'm off the nursery now, right? I saw
the Jo interview, and quite liked it, he's a nice
interviewer. However, I didn't like the joke about
Chris' veganism or something like that, I don't
think Chris understood it or what. What do you
think?

Message-ID: <BAY104-F7F2352036CF476916C1E5A7AB0@phx.gbl>

   *waves at everyone

   Hello, there Sinister! This is the third time -- third time! -- that I've 
tried to post this. I only hope it goes through this time. I suppose I'm 
running on a burst if euphoria at seeing such Hot List Action. Oh yeah. Is 
it unreasonable to wonderful posts like Robin Stout's or even to hope to see 
posts from other folk, like maybe Markelby C. or even -- gasp! -- Laura 
Llew?
    Some people who posted got married. Many, many congrats to them and to 
them as can. I can't marry, being A Gentleman Who's Not Good at Sport, but I 
have SHACKED UP. As in "Living In Sin", which is pretty ironic, considering 
the lives we lead*. But such Shacking Up did lead to an exciting move to the 
Big City of New York and my Return to School.** I should probably stop using 
Capital Letters to Express Imoprtance, but it's the sort of thing they do in 
the sort old plays and books I read a lot these days***. Come to think of 
it, many you newer people will be just the same age as the students my 
college had foisted me on as a TA. Cripes, some of you might even BE my 
students. Wouldn' that be odd? You young one better be nice to your TA just 
in case he's me.
   Some people who posted didn't get married. Yay for them. They should all 
go out and be as promiscuous as possible. But this being Sinister, they may 
be inclined to stay at home in their bed room. But what with the picnics 
going around, you can probably go out and fine someone with red underpants 
to do that with. But you can probably find something more interesting to do 
than sulking if you're in a bedroom with someone in their underpants. Or so 
I hear.
    Speaking of picnics, I have to miss the one at the Cloisters. This makes 
me very sad as a) I've wanted to go there for ages and b) I'll miss the 
other Sinisterines. Maybe on your way there or back  (more likely back) you 
can stop in Colombus Circle and visit me!
    Speaking of visits, I hear Eric Cheeseybun is going to the meet-up. 
Maybe, if you ask very nicely, he will bring Sebastian,The Hound of (Indie) 
Rawk with him. They both need a good airing from time to time, and Sebastian 
is very cute.

   *waves

    Bye!

get sunshine in the summer, and summer sounds like sumner and so it makes
sense.."

Chris "I have a song too!!"
Stuart "Och aye?  What is it?"
Chris "It's gonna be called 'Funny Little Frog'"
Chris "It's basically a mash-up of 'Judy and the dream of horses' and 'Crazy
Frog'"
Isobel "yay I like crazy frog!  I love the way he goes

*Isobel coughs and heaves
Isobel "baba..ba....och me asthma"

Graveyard!  It was awesome.   I love my car"

grave!"
Chris "Did you hit it at an angle?"
Stuart "hahaha nice one"
Chris "huh?"
Stuart "good joke man"
Chris "what joke?"
Stuart "oh?  Och never mind.  No I hit it straight on.  Anyway I have

Eleven twanty five, pm.  The band have just finished practicing their new
songs.

Mick "So what are we going to call the album?"
Isobel "Let's call it 'Happy Flowers and Bumble Bees'!"
Peacock "How about 'Honestly - Black Hole' cos it's gonna really suck?"
Richard "I think it should have to do with our lives somehow, that'd be
faaaabulous!"
Stuart "I think I'm gonna call it 'Goalkeeper's Revenge'"
Stevie "Ooh, named after Bill Naughton's collection of thirteen short
stories first published in 1961?"
Stuart "Erm, no never heard of that?  It's actually about this one time I
was playing football in Hyde Park in 2002 with this dude called Ken Chu from
this Sinister list thing, I was in goal and he did a stepover thing and made
me dive the wrong way AND THEN THE BASTARD FUCKING SCORED PAST ME :( I'm

GayJay wanted me, and what GayJay wants, GayJay gets
(and if this isn't true, it damn well should be).

In one hour I will be stepping out to eat a vast
amount of pork. At London's top "BBQ" restaurant,
Bodeans. They do pulled pork that's been cooked for
like 10 hours and yet it's still unbvelieveably mosit
and tender and delicious. Seriously, this is the
highlight of the month for me. Gastronomically,
anyway.

Homer Simpson: Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a
minute. Lisa, honey, are
saying you're never going to eat any animal again?
What about bacon?
Lisa Simpson: No.
Homer Simpson: Ham?
Lisa Simpson: No.
Homer Simpson: Pork chops?
Lisa Simpson: Dad! Those all come from the same
animal!
Homer Simpson: [Chuckles] Yeah, right Lisa. A
wonderful, magical animal. 

Fuck I love pig.

In case any of you didn't catch it, DUMP AOL. AOL ARE
MOTHERFUCKERS AND THEY WANT TO EAT YOUR BABIES AND,
POSSIBLY, THE BABIES OF OTHERS. Honey has quite enough
on her plate to have to deal with people who thought
the pretty blue CD should be stuck in their computer -
and believe me, it has worked its way into all kinds
of unsavoury nooks and crannies. DUMP AOL!

CDs, though. In the crazy olden days, people did
exciting things with old CDs. Mobiles! Coasters! Mad!
And then FASHION got in the way and made coasters made
out of old CDs UNFASHIONABLE, even PASSE if you will.
I guess vinyl doesn't have such issues - apart from
the odd record that's been amusingly melted and turned
into a pen holder or plant pot, old 45s are simply too
sexy to be abused in such a way. Though they can of
course be hurled at zombies.

I wonder how many people will be picknicking this
weekend who picknicked in London in May 1998? Katrina?
Elisabeth? Susanna? Rob? Erlend? Trousers? Anyone?

Love,
Mark x

Message-ID: <488ac070050826064077079dd5@mail.gmail.com>

So, a picnic at the Cloisters tomorrow sounds like a fine idea.
However, I will leave details of meeting places and such to other
people, because I am crap at such things.

It is a rather nice place for a picnic, being at the very top of
Manhattan and thus affording panoramic views of... New Jersey. Still,
it's the nice (relatively) unspoiled part in the north, where all the
rich people used to build mansions. Maybe they still do; I don't know.
I try not to think about New Jersey too much.

As GayJay said, I will endevour to bring Sebastian, the basset hound
of exceptional quality and character, but I make no promises. The MTA
seems to hate dogs, you see.

Yep.

there is nothing better in this world than a ken chu sinister post methinks. 
aww bless

this is turning out to be a very poorly organised glasgow pic/pubnic. which 
shouldn't surprise me really. but alas. i shall step in to suggest a 
time/place. and if no one turns up, it's ok, for i shall happily consume all 
the cake and crumpets and bucks fizz meself.
so... shall we say... 2pm? kelvingrove park? on the grass somewhere within 
sight of the fountain? for those who don't know me (are there any glasgow 
lurkers? i wonder..) i shall wear... er... a brown shirt and dark blue jeans 
(HOTT i know) and i will likely be with a gorgeous tall blonde rockstar boy 
(PHWOAR!). no, seriously!
in case of rain - which, admit it, is quite likely - we can relocate to the 
old stand-by, the tap. as much as i hate the place, it's convenient.
if anyone gets lost or whatever, i can be reached at zero seven eight one 
seven eight zero three three nine three.

as an aside.. we have a sexy icelandic stud on this list! is anyone else 
excited about this? mmmm

Sinisterines,

I'm looking in my junk mail folder right now and there's one from 
HornyWench at chu.com . I wonder if it's from Ken. I daren't open it to find 
out..

There is also, rather fantastically, an email from "Augustus Rosenberg" with 
the subject line "Do you want the Columbo DVDs?". Yes I do! Oh, if only 
Augustus was real, *sob*.

Hej,

This is rare, i know, that i write to Sinister, i'm more of a reader...  So 
if you know me
it's probebly because you seen me in the fragrant sinister garden, where i 
still live,even if it's a lot more quiet and peacfull these days and i 
mostly just hug, listens to music and read bedtimestories with our lovely 
sleepy princess list mum Honey there.  That i'm writing here now is because 
Honey told me i had to because someone else mentioned me in an email.... I 
don't know if this really is in the list rules but she has been a very hard 
working list mum the last week so i should  just hug her and do as she says.

> PS Just read The Duke's email - Jens is swoonworthy - Katta sent us some
> of his stuff and we like..

This is not really true, i just mentioned him to everyone darikng to come 
into
#sinister also to Linda and Honey. He is great, specially live, the best
gig i ever been to was with Jens so go and see him if you can. It's nice
when beeing mentiond on this list it is together with Jens Lekman :)

Ohh to bad Tallinn is just abit too far away.. I am 1/4th Estonian, from my
mums dad... but i never been there. But i will come there ine day Ulla and
I hope we can have a picnic then.
Will celebrate our birthday here instead, i don't have any red knickers... 
the closest would be a pair of pink underwears i could borrow them from a 
friend. So I was thinking picnic, in Slottskogen or Skatås... but the 
weatherreports for tomorrow does not seem very optimistic for picnics, so 
plan b is to sit in the sinistergarden and eat a bit of cake with auntsadie 
and her family and blow up some balloons there. If you feel you don't have 
any picnic to go to tomorrow you are welcome to a sinister birthdayparty 
there. I'm not much of a birthdaypartymum but if anyone want to go there and 
increase the risk of meeting someone else there please post a sugestion of a 
birthdaypartytime to be there at. It's in #sinister at undernet IRC. If you 
are not used to going there here is one way to get there:
Go to: http://www.undernet.org/webchat.php
Write in a what you always wanted to be called in the "Nickname" box and 
#sinister in "Your Favorit Channel"
Click Connect
You may have to say click ok to run this on your computer
Sit down and hope it will work, and don't forget having some nice 
birthdayfood to eat with you and when you get there the people in the 
chatroom are on the right hand side of the screen. Just say "Happy Birthday 
Sinister" :) If you don't see anyone talking in there at first, hang around 
someone might come in, it *does* happen!

Have a good 8 years birthday.

Kram Katta

I am also excited about such things.

But then again it is a Friday afternoon and I have just found an mp3 of
the theme to "K9 and Company". Enoch Light would have been jealous, I
think. It's better than anything on the last B&S album, which I haven't
actually heard. I suppose you could make me a tape, if you want.

Casarotter:
<<In one hour I will be stepping out to eat a vast
amount of pork. At London's top "BBQ" restaurant,
Bodeans.>>

I am jealous. Bodeans is very good. I like to have the pulled pork
sandwich with chips and some barbequeue sauce. I don't even LIKE
barbqueue sports! They have weird American sports on the telly like
"American Football" and all the men look very orange. I hear downstairs
is a Proper restauraunt where you can have like I dunno, TROTTERS and
chips and stuff but I've never ventured "below decks", as it were.

I think Ken Chu's posts are very disturbing. Hasn't Ithobel LEFT Bellend
Sebastian by now anyway and is busy llama trekking in Estonia or
whatnot? I hear the llamas are sturdy, over there.

K9!

Hello, Sinister.

It's great to see the list jumping again! So many names that I recognize
from so many years ago. It's nice to know that YOU never unsubscribed,
either. It gives me a kind of warm feeling knowing that you're all out
there somewhere, lurking in the dark. And so many posts from Honey ...
really feels like the good ol' days! Hope everyone has their red undies
washed, starched, pressed and ready to celebrate The Big Day!

File under "Bandwagon": My guy asked, and I said yes. So it looks as
though I'll be skipping down the aisle soon, too. (Unless one of us comes
to our senses.)

If any of you lovelies have a crush on a boy or girl with a pronounced
sweet tooth, I highly recommend a Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie to get their
attention. It worked for me! Check out the Sinister Recipe Tree (compiled
by the charming Terry Underwear) for this and lots of other yummy recipes.
It'll keep you in the kitchen and out of trouble.

Take care!

-Jeanette

my dears:

mark said "BBQ", and if there were ever an invitation
for llaura llew to post, then i think that's it.   

right then.  

CONTENT:
i dreamt last night that i went out dancing with
struan & co.  then i woke up, and it was just me alone
in my spinster flat with my two cats.

now...

PICNIC:

any and all new york listees and others in the
vicinity are invited to the new york chapter's red
knicker day* celebration at the cloisters museum &
grounds in ft. tryon park (which, contrary to popular
belief, is still in manhattan):

http://www.ny.com/museums/cloisters.html

directions (according to the site):
Subway: A train to 190th St, then M4 bus to Ft. Tryon.
Bus: M4 Madison Ave to Ft. Tryon.

[if anyone has better subway directions please post,
because i live near there and tend to take the bus.]

you get off the bus at a little circular drive kind of
thing at the entrance to the park.  mail me or ana 
(anamorais74 at earthlink.net) off-list for our mobile
numbers in case you get lost.  let's meet at the
entrance at 2pm, shall we?  bring whatever you think a
picnic needs, but i highly advise disguising yr booze
sopranos-style rather than just hauling out yr
pint-bottles of cheap WODKA.

xoxo.

* red knickers required.

I thought you'd all gone. I thought you'd all disappeared, unsubscribed, 
forgotten about your email accounts, and left. I sent messages, but nothing 
happened.

And now...

Nice to see Sinister bouncing back to life though. Even if it does feel like 
reading "Friends Reunited".

If you're wondering why I didn't respond sooner, it's because I was away. 
And I've not had time. Other such poor excuses.

But thanks for making my email account look interesting again.

Second try at posting, let's see if it works this time...

To all those NYCers planning on coming to tomorrow's picnic,

Small addendum: For those who enjoy a bit of walking and/or just don't 
feel like transferring modes of transportation, you can also just take 
the A train to 190th Street, exit station by elevator, and walk north 
along Margaret Corbin Drive for approximately ten minutes. That's how I 
got to the Cloisters last month. It's a very nice walk through a park 
and you can't really get lost, as there are tons of signs pointing to 
the cloisters along the way.

See you all there,
tchau,
ana

I remember times that the mentioning of something specific in the appearance 
of a person required an immediate update in the As We Are Photo Page with a 
photo of this person.
The same counted for any mention of body parts.

Or was this even mentioned in the Sinister Rules? I am too tired right now 
to look it up, but even if it is not written there as a rule, I strongly 
recommend that it gets included in the next Amendment.

I therefore request a picture of the aforementioned "icelanding stud" 
(quoting miss Dahling) to be uploaded in the Sini photo pages.

Anyone second that?

Is anyone going to the NYC picnic tomorrow that has a car and would
like to transport an incredibly cute basset hound (and his owner)? I
desperately want to bring him, but I can't see any way of doing so
short of taking a taxi, which would be prohibitively expensive. It's a
long shot, but who knows?

All snack food I bring will be guaranteed to contain MSG.

Love,
Eric

hello everyone,

Jeanette said this:
***parts of this quote may have been altered for editorial reasons***
"If any of you lovelies have a crush on a boy or girl with a pronounced sweet tooth, I highly recommend a Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie to get their attention. It worked for me! Check out the Sinister Recipe Tree (compiled by the charming, intelligent, witty, devilishly handsome Terry Underwear) for this and lots of other yummy recipes.  It'll keep you in the kitchen and out of trouble."

That pie is seriously tasty.  The recipe, and many fabulous others (thanks to the glorious Caitlin Pigtails), can be find right here:

Lately I've been in an entrepreneurial mood, trying to think up ways of getting rich quick.  My latest idea involves blow-up sex dolls.  

Wait, there's more.  

The dolls will be based on a range of historical figures.  

Ever wanted to get it on with: 
Mona Lisa (insert your own Moaner pun here)?
The Virgin Mary (insert your own crude virgin joke here)?
Jesus Christ (insert your own bondage joke here)?
Adolf Hitler (who will come in both the one balled and two balled variety)?

I know I have.

great to see you all again.

Message-ID: <36ca5dd50508261836186ece39@mail.gmail.com>

I must say everyone's courageous non-lurking has been inspiring. I
don't feel like I should really give a backstory here, since no one
would remember anything I've posted, and I'm not a long lost Sinister
celebrity or anything. Ken Chu did sleep in my room once though, if
that counts as a brush with fame, which I believe it does.
  
Summer started early this year as a twinkle in my eye and a bounce in
my step, only a few weeks into spring. I was full of hopes and goals
and dreams of all the things I would accomplish this summer, all the
people I would meet, and all the free things that New York City has to
offer in the morbidly humid months. I seem to have blocked out the
fact that as soon as you walk out the door, you've spent $20 on
bottled water to keep the dehydration and heatstroke away, and you
just want to cry and stomp your feet because the subway car you got on
has no air-conditioning suddenly, and you're blinded by sweat. Okay,
so maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, and maybe I'm being a little
"glass half-empty" here, but deep down I'm really sad to see summer
dwindle away, all while feeling like I've been sitting in the house
for 2 months.

The 2 weeks before Labor Day (Sept. 5th) always seem rushed, like
you're trying to cram in all these activities at once. I just turned a
quarter of a century old, but I don't feel any different. Okay, so I
had a mini nervous breakdown about not knowing the direction of my
life, living in a city which is beyond my means, not knowing why I
stay here, but not being able to leave, etc.
 
 I'm super excited about the picnic in the Cloisters tomorrow, I will
be bringing super luscious cheese and bread, and I have to ponder on
the fact that I don't think I have red knickers. I might need to go
shopping!
 
 I wish we could have a huge picnic, sort of like a down south family
reunion in the forest preserve, and get t-shirts made with some cheesy
font and logo, but geography doesn't permit that.
 
 I love you all, and I've read every email that's ever been posted on
here in the 4(?) years I've subscribed. Even though I haven't
participated much, I plan to change that.

Yes, come along.  The #sinister chatroom's been quiet for too long,
except for the inane witterings of the lovely auntsadie, who you will
meet if you come, and who sounds more and more like Professor Ken
Chu, who I suspect spent a year teaching her rude words.  You won't
understand any of this unless you pop in.

To celebrate and encourage you to come along (happy birthday Sinister)
today, for those of us who can't get to a picnic/booooze explosion,
I've even actually updated the Sinister homepage!  Don't worry, it's
still awful HTML from 1997, so that traditional "aargh it hurts my
eyes" effect is still there.  But I did update the bit on how to get
into the #sinister IRC channel:

 	http://www.missprint.org/sinister/#chat

Go on, give it a go.  Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon,
and for the rest of your life.

While I have the Sinister wireless set warmed up and its valves
ticking, I wish to withdraw my recommendation that AOL users skip over
to Hotmail.  I've learned that in November, Microsoft are going to
implement the Most Evil Scheme Known To Humankind (only really because
they patented it to pieces and are bullying everyone) which they call
"Sender ID", and they'll start counting everyone who doesn't use
it as spam (that's the bullying bit).  It's flawed and the spammers
(who have mountains of cash by selling Viagra) will get through it
like butter, but smaller people may have trouble implementing it,
or just not want to be bullied.  Even your Yahoo mail and lists may
not get to Hotmail, because they have a competing (slightly better)
scheme called DomainKeys and they're in a big fight.  Mail wars loom.
Not sure about Gmail.

I'll try and do something about it of course, but your best bet is to
sign up to Sinister and any mailing lists you're on with your ISP
email address to avoid the looming clouds.  Unless your ISP is AOL.
Gmail the best bet for AOL users?  Dunno.

Anyone who wants to view the boxing fight in progress can google for
"Sender ID" etc.  It's too boring for more words here.

Sorry to be so dull.  I'd like to add weight to the rising demands of
the people of Sinister Town for pix of the 4th sexiest man in Iceland.
I went to Reykjavik and my goodness!  It's cheekbone heaven (along
with waffle heaven if you pop into Cafe Mokka).  Boys and girls of
outstanding beauty and charm, and, along with Madagascar, one of the
most beguilingly musical places in the world.  So, even though I've
forgotten to update my own photo galleries, pix!  I'm having to fan
myself a bit here.

Message-ID: <1125172494l.22827l.0l@quincux>

Well, well, well.

When I was younger, I used to wonder what it would be like to be all  
grown-up.  I didn't realise, back then, that I'd never find out.  I  
still feel like a small child inside.  I don't think this is ever going  
to change.  I still love to bounce around the house to loud music, and  
smirk at childish jokes.

Eight years ago, nearly, I was sitting in the computer lab on the  
fourth floor of the University Library, with my then-current sexfriend,  
searching the web for stuff on Belle & Sebastian.  I found a  
recently-started mailing list, run from elsewhere in the university.  I  
joined it.  I didn't stay on it continuously, but I've always come back  
again.

Sinister has meant a lot to me, and so has #sinister.  It was somewhere  
to retreat to when the said sexfriend turned into a mad harridan who  
hated "that awful twee music".  It was somewhere to find friends, even  
if I was the only list member who wasn't at it like rabbits at one  
point or another.  Even though it doesn't feel like it, I *have* been  
through a lot of changes in my life, and many of them are catalogued in  
Sinister posts.  I've been back through some of those changes and  
undone them; but I'm still a member of  Sinister and I still read it.   
My life will change in the future in ways I can't even predict; and  
maybe that will be catalogued on Sinister in the future too.

Right now, I know a lot of Sinisterines are meeting up, drinking,  
celebrating and mourning.  And long may they continue to do so.  I'm  
not - I'm sat at home listening to Stereolab, trying to sort out the  
design of my new blog and keeping half an eye on #sinister.  It's the  
first time I've been to #sinister for maybe a year or so, but somehow  
it still feels as homely as it always did.  I'm trying to explain there  
what's going on in my life at the moment: Random conversations in the  
street, and getting back in touch with people I've known even longer  
than *you*.  And I realise that as I'm typing, I'm quietly smiling.

We used to have the List Crush system.  Well, I've got a crush on the  
entire list.  All of you, for all of the past eight years.  You've done  
something wonderful along the way.

Wow! To be uttered in the same breath as the lovely Miss Honey, I feel like 
I'm in some sort of elite (granted, a shy, awkward & nervous elite, but 
elite nontheless)

So I feel compelled to drag myself out of the shadows of lurkerdom along 
with so many others, say happy birthday sinister, snaffle some tizer & 
dissapear again while no one's looking...

What have I been doing in the last 2 or so years? I got married, which was a 
bit of a surprise, to a sweet sinisterine who I met through Katy Coopers 
tape tree, and did boring things like get a mortgage, and fun things like 
get a big garden full of herbs & apple trees. Then there was the depressing 
stuff like getting arthritis AND becoming a great-aunt before reaching 30, 
and the great stuff like starting a teeny-tiny business, and finally hitting 
the milestone that is 30, only to find that being 30 is actually great! All 
the stuff about lost youth, biological clock ticking etc etc, it's a load of 
rubbish!
And still occasionally writing little stories about a black fox...

So, that said, I will will disappear into the undergrowth again, clutching 
the last pack of jaffa cakes.

Love to all
Jules

hello sinisterines,

decided to pop out of the shadows and make myself 
known on this silly list.  one can only be a voyeur for so 
long and two years or so has been long enough... he 
said while looking over his shoulder eyeing up the 
nearest exit.

if the san francisco muni metro could get me to the 
cloisters i would be charmed to drink lots of beer and 
show off my red knickers.  alas... i will just sit here in 
said knickers scowling at myself in the mirror...drinking 
loads of beer.

i know there are other sinisters here in san francisco 
lurking around the dive bars, just as we lurk on the list.  
maybe we should create a secret badge or handshake 
so we can identify each other.  

excited to hear about a new album in the works.  

happy birthday.

It was reading a post from Idleberry that finally screamed 'post
something!' to me. So here I am. Stopped reading for quite a long time
because my hotmail account was becoming unsavory with junk mail.
Switched email addresses, and became the new, improved kittenmouse at
gmail, as you can see here. In NYC, as well (I'm in grad school,
waiting to graduate and get the f*** out of this filthy city, but
that's another story altogether).

I used to live in Portland, Oregon, where you may remember the long,
lost Kittenmouse Radio, through which I used to broadcast my opinions,
and more often, my awful taste in music, every Monday night. I did
more than one all Belle and Sebastian show, including a few weeks
where it was every song of theirs in alphabetical order by title. I
still have some shows on minidisc and cd, and the website hasn't been
deleted yet by my old school (http://web.pdx.edu/~andreay), though
I've been locked out of editing it since I graduated long ago. The
playlists are still there. I want to bring it back as a podcast, but I
don't have broadband or server space. Any advice? How much server
space does one need for people to download a few 1/2 hour or hourlong
podcasts anyway?

Sorry about not going to the picnic. I was working that day and didn't
hear about it until this morning. You could find me at StitchNBitch
downtown if my classes weren't on tuesday nights. Maybe we should
start a Sinister Stitch N Bitch on a different night. Or a Mr. Driller
arcade tournament. Have you heard of the game called Mr. Driller? It's
cute. It's addictive. You can get it on your cellphone, or on various
home platforms, and there is an arcade version. I don't know if there
an arcade in New York with Mr. Driller, but they have it at that retro
arcade in Portland...the one on NW Couch Street. Can't remember the
name.

Message-ID: <BAY21-F29350D4F14063617D6ED0F99AF0@phx.gbl>

i must confess... i'm still swooning. what started out to be a pretty 
promising weekend of picnics and parties and gigs turned into one of the 
most exciting EVER! at least for the ladies amongst us.
okay.. so i exhaggerate. a little. but that's what happens when you spend 
three days unexpectantly in the company of the 15th SEXIEST MAN IN SWEDEN! 
it might not compare to being in the company of our esteemed peer, the 4th 
SEXIEST MAN IN ICELAND, but pretty damn close i'd imagine. and this one has 
a singing voice like velvet. mmmmm

it all started on friday. i went to the pub with the lovely MATT and NAL, 
who calmly informed me that mr studmuffin himself was going to be at NPL (as 
in 'knee deep at the NPL' by my other favourite songsters camera obscura) 
that evening. WHOA! i was already looking forward to his sunday gig as the 
highlight of my weekend.. i never actually expected to MEET the fella! or 
*gasp* DANCE with him! mmmmm.

i got giddy with excitement. GIDDY! like a silly schoolgirl! in fact, the 
feeling didn't really leave me all weekend. it's a bit embarassing. (and i 
probably shouldn't be continuing and documenting it here, but what the hell 
eh?)

i wasn't the only one, either. i get the feeling girls melt at his feet 
wherever he goes. the boys among us seemed quite amused to see our 
reactions. and were quite confused when they finally met the man himself.

ok, i have to admit, he wasn't quite as sexy as i remember him - from a 
distance, at a gig in boston months ago. his forehead was wide and his frame 
was small and he was just wearing a plain old jeans and tee shirt. and he 
spent much of the time sitting quiet and forlorn and bored looking. but 
still... there was something about him...

still giddy, i ran to my friends CATHY and KATIE (of this camp? i have no 
idea anymore.. i lose track of who is sinister and who i actually met 
independently) and chattered away and pointed excitedly and all around 
squealed. katie seemed simply amused. cathy quickly became a convert, and i 
think by the end of the night she was even more keen than i was, which is 
saying something.

there was an embarassing moment when we first met. TARA introduced us - he 
was staying on her and CALUMN'S couch - and he looked at me funny and said 
'have we met before? you look so familiar'. i have a confession to make 
here, sinisterenes. i found jens on friendster a while back and sent him a 
pretty pathetic message... something along the lines of 'you're amazing. i 
love you. when are you coming to glasgow? can we be friends?' surprisingly, 
he never replied! and now it seems that perhaps he had committed my image to 
memory - or printed it out and posted it on his wall - with the word STALKER 
emblazoned across the bottom. er... yeah... i feigned ignorance and our 
relationship moved on from there. by 'relationship' i mean me occasionally 
plopping onto the seat next to him making silly small talk between dances, 
and swooning from a distance. mmmmm.
at one point we also danced together (with TARA) to annie. magic.

anyway.. before parting company at closing time, i nonchalently asked what 
jens was up to the following day. he said: 'oh, i dunno. i think there's a 
party and... a picnic?'
PICNIC! he was referring to THE SINISTER PICNIC! the one i half-assed help 
throw together at the last minute. oh. my. god. no pressure to now make it 
FABULOUS or anything!!! that, and the fact that LINDA was coming all the way 
down from edinburgh to attend! eeks!

i woke up early on saturday, fully intending to get my ass in gear and bake 
cakes and be super organised... only to fall back asleep, not rising until 1 
PM! and the picnic was to start at 2! ack! i assumed - rightly so - that 
everyone would be at least an hour late. but still, that gave me next to no 
time to prepare, and definitely not enough time to bake. so RICHARD and i 
ended up running to the corner shop for sandwiches and pringles and the most 
vile fairy cakes i have ever had to misfortune to taste. ew.

the weather was less than promising. actually, it was very promising when we 
first walked out the door - blue skies and happy white puffy clouds - but by 
the time we got down the street, the good old glasgow grey had returned, 
threatening rain. still, we managed to stick it out (only slightly freezing) 
for a few hours on a picnic table near the fountain in kelvingrove park.

slowly they trickled in.

first came ALLY, with CHRIS LEONARD and JULIA and a lovely dog! yay! i was 
excited to see a dog. made it feel like a proper picnic! and unexpected old 
skool sinisterene attendence too! wow! then came LINDA. and eventually 
LYNSEY and LINDSEY (a renegade member of that OTHER board, but we don't hold 
it against her). and then there was CALUMN and TARA (sans jens, sadly, but 
sans pressure too, which was kinda good).

after some eating and chatting and lots of shivering, we finally caved in 
and headed indoors, to the under-new-management-again-thank-goodness TAP 
pub, classic haunt of the sinister picnic. the music was pretty awful in 
that cheesy (but not even fun) 80s way. but even that grew on us after 
awhile. more importantly, the place was empty, so we were able to commandeer 
an entire corner couch section for our own nefarious purposes. we whiled 
away a few quiet hours drinking, and MATT and NAL popped in and it was 
generally very relaxed and comforting. not as wild and crazy as usual, but 
hey, we're all a bit older and wiser from those first few meet-ups eight 
years ago. we reflected on the past, paid tribute to those not present 
(namely, HONEY, who was busy manning the controls at mission #sinister, but 
nonetheless was sent a little pressie) and compared red knickers. mmmmm

we scattered at about 7pm, being surprisingly responsible, and regrouped 
later at RICHARD JOHN GILLANDERS and ALLY's flat for a bit of a 
housewarming/CATHY going-away party. the party was pretty hopping by 
midnight, full of people i didn't even know! and jens, of course *swoon* and 
some finn/swede record producer guy, who was the toughest conversationalist 
i've ever encountered! let's see, who else from sinister was there? er... 
PATRICK DOYLE. and... er... gosh, i dunno. it's all a blur.

the following day, sunday, many of us gathered again at mono for the GIG. it 
was finally time to see jens at his performing best. and as an added bonus, 
he was to be joined on stage by bill wells and isobel campbell! yup, that 
one! and stephen pastel was on the decks. and stevie jackson and momus were 
in the crowd. and i'm pretty sure there were other notables there as well, i 
just can't remember them all now. after opening act uter, bill wells was in 
control of the motley crew, and there was lots of freeform jazz. i think it 
was quite good, if that's your sort of thing, which it's not... mine, that 
is. then jens took the stage - solo at first - and it was AMAZING. i think 
the girl behind me was actually crying. i was certainly swooning where i 
stood. and there's not much else i want to say about that.

afterwards, there was talk of continuing the action with a bit of dancing at 
optimo with TARA and jens and the finn/swede producer and the camera obscura 
fellas (minus GAV who was mysteriusly absent through all these proceedings, 
despite the presence of his better half... hmmmmmmmm) but it never happened. 
instead, i returned home to my bed to nestle up and dream of sexy swedes all 
night. mmmmm.

so yeah... pretty great, eh?

i hope the rest of you had a fab time as well. i want details of other 
picnics! how were the cloisters?

as for the tape tree, thanks to all those who replied so promptly. i will 
now sort out the branch logistics and email y'all details soon! if there are 
any last-minute stragglers who want in, email me pronto!

happy birthday sinister! and happy birthday MICHAEL GRANT and CALUMN!

next weekend up-and-coming wonderband band DOT-TO-DOT (featuring several 
members of this here crew) make their big london debut at the buffalo bar so 
there may very well be more sini meet-ups action and REPORTING BACK. stay 
tuned...

-your dahlin'

will you forgive me my lateness in greeting you all a  most *8th happy 
birthday*...

how was it for you? hope you had lots of enchanting fun...

my suggestion of a parisian picnic didn't turn out to be outrageously 
popular shall we say so i danced a lot in my dining-room on this blessed 
saturday with a feline companion i.e my cat who didn't, surprisingly enough, 
respond to my bum wigglings, yet he seemed to care, REALLY...

so we were two people in paris then- celebrating in our own shy way mrs 
cécile aubry's glaswegian heirs...

       au revoir et à bientôt les amis- david, de paris...

         dear maria celina,

well everytime i watch the joao soares interview, i giggle a lot but it's 
true that, as fernando mentioned, he proved at times quite rude e.g. the 
silly questions about chris's vegetarianism to be linked with chastity, as 
though love or sex equate to embracing m.e.a.t. boys & girls aren't 
inanimate objects, mr soares, & neither are animals!!!
i'm a vegetarian myself but it doesn't  mean to me that i feel like being 
part of some sexually-repressed contemptuous élite...obviously *giggles*... 
hasta la vista! x

ahemmm. well, happy b-day! I've been a durmant siniestr for 
years. I witnessed the ancient times, oh yes. and when I saw 
this list blooming again... well, I was kind of touched. I suppose 
that noone of you know me, so therefore it might be interesting a 
wee catch-up on my life's changes during all these years:

1996) The obscure uni years(TM). Not very well documented. I 
for one welcome the new scottish overlords.

1998?) Subscribe to sitsnier. Automatically overwhelmed with its 
coolness factor. The lurking begins.

2000) Finished my gray degree in electronics & started working. 
Get tired of lurking.  

2001-2003) Become Ÿber-stressed. Looks like the younger 
generations here in Spain are more into outrageus spanish pop-
rock or flamencoázapatista satanic bands. I no longer can 
impress a girl with my compitapes: no wedding.

2003-2005) Leave the job & emigrate to Swedish Lappland. not 
blessed by the holy matrimony.

late2004) Comeback. New jobb. Woeful reintroduction. the 2nd 
stay at the nursery didn't help at all, but at some point around X-
mas I discover that kenneth.chu loves us all. I try to post 
something. failed. didn't get married.

aug2005) honey saves me and I believe again. still not married.

Where's the rest of us? Rise up and post!

Hi All,

No winsome Swedish ukulele-playing popstarz in this report, sorry. However,
Pam & I joined Archel, Matt, Ken C, Robster, Robin Stout, Lucy, Alan,
Marcello, NickB, & Sally for a beautiful bright sunny day on the South
coast. 3 pubs were involved (we were only in one, apologies if we seemed
unsociable but we don't get to see the sea often enough so it seemed a shame
to spend time in the pub on such a lovely day!), a chippy on the beach, the
Palace Pier & BUNGY TRAMPOLINING! Our Ken being sponsored to demonstrate his
fearlessness & flexibility on the latter. Archel & Matt performed the
strange Sussex newly-wed ritual of throwing rocks at each other on the
beach.

A great day, thanks to Archel for instigating.

No Jens, no lens - so someone else from the at least 4 people taking
pictures will have to post the photographic evidence.


Love,

David
Chelmsford, UK

Message-ID: <20050829152233.52270.qmail@web50609.mail.yahoo.com>

Gosh, I was such a lurky lurker for the past 4 years
that I honestly didnt realise what had happened to
everybody.  I'll pin my message to the corkboard and
say how great it is to see everyone proving posting is
the new lurking.

So, I have met many Sinister people in the past 4
years; Helen McLean, Jimbo and Terry Boyle in Perth,
Lawrence Mikkelsen in Auckland; also Rachel Fruitloop
in LA.  Thanks to those who accommodate a rogueish
little 18 year old fresh out of school with no money
and not an awful lot of anything else.

Interspersed with these were some ATP rendezvous-es;
Carsmile and a swell fellow this year have excellent
festival taste, I look forward to meeting more
sinister peoples at Camber Sands in the future...

Times have changed, my original listy introducer Viks
is finishing her 4th year at the Slade, UCL.  I'm into
my last year at Edinburgh Uni, having now been here
three years (how many other Edinburghers are here?  Or
do you all go to the Glasgow picnics?) doing Social
Anthropology; my dissertation is in poker, yip de doo.


In the last year I had the pleasure of meeting
Lawrence and his wife Vanessa again, when they toured
the UK, also Krister who visited Edinburgh briefly,
plus on my trip to NYC (as well as other bits of the
USA) i met Martha.  Hello to all there and thereabouts
also!

Ooh, hasn't a lot happened since I last posted.  I
have a confession, the last B&S record I bought was
Storytelling, which i *didn't really* enjoy.  And DCW
is still awaiting a purchase, for shame.  I missed the
picnic action as i was away on a catering job this
weekend, and i left my red underware behind.  So I'm
not doing very well, tut tut.  Happy 8th birthday
(belated), and I'm glad i've been around for 5.5ish of
it, despite my quietness.  You'd never guess i was
quiet by the length of this (email).  Or my
[exceptionally Sinister-ish] smutty sense of humour.

The upshot of being away on that catering job was that
my bed for the weekend was in a house who owned a copy
of TWATTYBUS, so in honour we played it twice on
saturday.

Until maybe the 10th?  Anyone in edinburgh who wants
to meet up for a belated Capital City Pick Nick, I'm
game, anyone I've missed from meetups give me a shout,
anyone i owe CDs to shout louder, hee hee.

Love to all, most of all Honey, who does a tip top
job.
Everyone pull your trousers up now, red knicker day is
over.

Paul McCartney? yep.  the Pope?  possibly.  Sinister
people? maybe not.

Hugs,
Niko

Hello to all Sinisietrs out there...

Lurkerdom you say? it's been 2 years and 4 months since my last
post...sighs...for me it was Stacey's posts -hello!- who put my brain into
motion and made me decide to write again. The stirup of some fond memories.
Newly arrived in UK circa 1999, all alone in a uni computer room in tropical
Dudley- remember that?remember me?- trying to get info on our favourite band
and that was it. I wonder how GHD and velocity are faring? any news?

I'm still dancing on the streets of Birmingham, working in a LIBRARY (YES
YES YES!!!), in fact the Art and Design library of UCE (you can find me in
Gosta Green dancing under the counter) and doing a postgraduate in Visual
arts, mainly curation. I occasionally drop by Athens, (how's the Greek
posse? let's meet one day (really) ). Not married.

I didn't wear red knickers for Sinister birthday but a red bra, is that ok?
I have also initiated a new person to the wonders of Sinister on the list's
birthday, how good am I? She will unearth herself soon I am sure.

Even though I didn't meet a lot of people from here and the ones I met I
didn't really keep in touch (I was VERY shy once), this still is one of my
favourite places in the whole wide world. Can we meet again?

So as this year I was/am back in uni, I will be very original and go now cos
my wee books are waiting for me on my wee desk waving impatiently. Dare I
say I'll be back?

love
Zoe :-)

Hello all and happy birthday!

Nice to see a post from Niko... and Astrid! I've been meaning to post myself for some time now, because I have a lot to tell you. I'm happy for all who got to see Jens in Glasgow this weekend, especially Tara, whom I know has been a big fan of him for some time! The swooning is understandable, but as a Swede I'm tragically past that stage: having seen him play for at least seven times now, and over here he's almost becoming a 'mainstream' artist. Not that it’s a bad thing... but I’d rather talk to Momus, or Stevie.

This summer really has been the best ever for me. With so many friends to see and go the beach with, finally holidaying in Scotland, meeting REAL sinistereens, meeting my first girlfriend here in Malmö at Perfect From Now On (great one-day festival that had booked (note: booked) TVPs) – maybe there'll be a little something about that... *hint*... I also went to the Emmaboda festival and saw The Pipettes live and interviewed them! At the festival, I was hanging out with them and my friend (and friend of Pipas') Alice who came all the way from London, as well as Neil who came all the way from Leeds (he was in a 90's twee band called Bouquet – if anyone recalls?). On the last day of the festival we were drinking by a self-made fire in the woods, but sadly those bastard festival guards came and spoiled the fun. They have no decency, these people.

Today was the last day at work for me and on Thursday it's back to uni and art studies for me. That also means back to the student radio! First thing, I'm going to play Pocketbook Angel – in memory of Liz. And of course we'll play the Sinister-connected Tales of Jenny! I just can't BELIEVE Matinée hasn’t signed them yet... They’re one of the best bands I've heard for months! I'm also looking forward to the Pop Revo festival in Denmark in a couple of weeks. It will feature Lovejoy, Louis Phillipe (!), TVPs (as if...), The Clientele, and our own Ian Watson will be playing records. See you there Ian, and anyone else going!

love
chris

hello sinistereens!

i thought i would write a better post than the last one, for it was utter 
cack. I was super stressed and just wanted to say, hey, how's it going 
bowlies, i live in islington.

and i still do. five days ago i flew from skavsta, which is the horrible 
airport from which ryanair have their cheapo flights. as it is ryanair, it 
is in the middle of fucking nowhere.

i live in a lovely townhouse of four (and a half, sort of) floors with a 
family with a mum, a dad and two kids. a boy turning six, and a girl turning 
four. not having had any younger siblings myself, being their au pair is 
truly a weird but funny and sometimes distressing experience. they can be so 
hiliarious! and horrible! and lovely! it does make me think of all that 
stuff though... getting married, and having kids, and that sort of thing.

i have met the most lovely boy ever, and i am so happy he is my boyfriend. 
he lives up north, but he is coming down this weekend to stay with me (yay 
yay yay!!!) and the weekend after that I will be going up to see his family 
for the first time, and the weekend after that he is coming to london for a 
week of londony things, all ending with the barbican gig! how good will that 
be? it will be brilliant.

i haven't seen b&s live for ages, not since 2002, i think it was.

i had such a b&s-y day a while back. i listened to tigermilk, as i walked 
through the lovely park and then over this big bridge to visit my sister's 
extra-work workplace, a kindergarten where she used to work fulltime. i hung 
out with kids all day, and then as i was going home, i thought "hey, i need 
an ice cream!" and went into this video store to get some. and there was 
some old man behind the counter, and a guy who was probably around 30, who 
had a big bag. he was renting porn dvds. then when i looked closer, as i was 
paying for my innocent ice cream he had the whole sports bag filled with 
pornos. ew.

that felt very b&s. you think it's all lovely. but it's not. then you laugh 
about it and get on with life.

oh crap, i think the kids are in my room. hold on. i'll be right back.

...


oh, right, they were lurking about, wanting to play my guitar. they LOVE my 
guitar. unforunately for them, so do i, so they can only play it sometimes 
when i'm around to see them maiming my darling.

oh and i am playing a gig too! on the 24th. at the windmill in brixton. it 
has a lot of potential to be shite. but i am playing second, i think, so 
it'll be early in the evening. it is however (and this i say with some shame 
for promoting the b-word on sinister feels weird) a bowlie all-dayer so if 
you want to go, there might be a few tickets left. it costs about £4 i 
think, and if you send your full name to alldayer at bowlie.com they will 
reserve tickets for you. but a few days ago, it was just under 30 tickets 
left. anyways, yeah. i am so nervous about it. i might fuck up a bit. please 
don't hate me if i do. there is a good chance i will.

so how do i spend my days? well. usually i will get up really early, i think 
my latest start is 8:30 and start minding the kids. take them to a nice park 
and play with them (jeez what a workout THAT is) and then come back. usually 
have a break for a few hours, then i'll either work between 12:30 and 17:30, 
or from 16 or 17 to around 19:30. it is very much alright and ok work, it's 
more a matter of learning how to do things.

this weekend, my boyfriend is coming to see me. i canont tell you how much 
that means to me.

oh, the kids want the computer now for star wars games. but it's hard to 
refuse when the boy goes to his friend william, who is here visiting:

"william, let's go downstairs and pretend we're in space!"

speak to you soon sinister. luv ya.

(hahahaha, i needed to add a chav element to my post, sorry)

love,
Astrid

>bowlies, i live in islington.

Ken sent me a text saying "Dude, you wrote hey, how's it going bowlies on 
sinister!" and well, what better way to emphasise the stress than that? 
Anyways. There's a saying in Sweden that is "Somliga straffar Gud med 
detsamma!" which kinda means "Some people, God punishes immediately!" and I 
think I did, as I ran into a bunch of chavs when I was out with the dog. 
They threw something at my back, and when I turned around called me a 
fucking bitch.

Nice.

Welcome to England, Astrid.
Why thank you.

Now I need to go buy stuff at Sainsburys. HOW I LOVE BIG FOODSTORES. I 
always end up buying loads of stuff I don't need. Mmmmm.. Stuff I don't 
need...

Sorry about that though, SINISTERBITES.

Love
Astrid

Message-ID: <20050831180510.25457.qmail@web31501.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hey kids, shake a leg.
Like many who haven't posted for a while life has
moved on and I am now a fully qualified English
teacher. 

This has taught me many things, the most important of
these is that i am no longer allowed to make spelling
errors. This is unfortunate as some words i haven't
written in a while, or read for that matter so i
forget how to say them let alone write them on a big
white board in front of 32 teenagers in turmoil. 
The new term is about to begin, this can be seen
clearly in the massive displays of pens and notebooks
in the various stationers. However, the allure of new
stationery seems to have evaded this teenage
generation as on the first day i will be handing out
pens like candy on Halloween. 

Now- surely this problem would be solved with a little
bit of clever marketing. Pop bands need to jump on the
stationery bandwagon, the kids would be more likely to
carry a pen if it had 50cent on it or something else
coolhipandtrendy like The Killers or Mcdonalds fries
(McFly).
Now, clearly i would be more than willing to hand out
pens emblazoned with the lyrics of B&S. That would
make me a very happy Miss Perry. Perhaps i should
suggest it to some higher being.

On other matters, why doesn't Yahoo capitalise my i?

Looking forward to the Barbican shindig like a fox.
