From nando at xxx.com Thu Sep 1 02:02:14 2005 From: nando at xxx.com (Nando Sola) Date: Thu, 01 Sep 2005 03:02:14 +0200 Subject: Sinister: screaming babies in the tropical night Message-ID: <43533DB2-375A-420B-9E16-BCBF15D50DC0@venera7.com> Here I am again. Quite alive after a pagan weekend, a loitered monday and a void tuesday. I've been just riding my bike around the town again, but it won't do me any good to get some sleep. A night whose temperature is above 25º is called "tropical night" and unless you have an air conditioner, your only companion will be insomnia. I tried to open the window, but instead of rutting howling monkeys and soothing, alluring jungle night sounds, I have this baby-neighbour of mine screaming for human milk (or blood) like there was no tomorrow. Time to look back at my memories, find new, very painful ways to slaughter newborns or just go deaf. Speaking of babies, I bumped into my 1996-1999 crush yesterday afternoon. She has settled down and has an extremely cute babygirl of her own, whom she was carrying in a stroller. Btw, she's not into B&S anymore. her boyfriend-and-future- husband doesn't belong to the swinging Madrid we both once knew. And shame on me! Today I came to work (2 & a half hours late), after a night of tapas, beer, bowie and a regrettable discussion about the nonexistent possibilities of skinny dipping in Madrid. Well, we have this itty-bitty Manzanares river, but it's more of an open air sewer full of 3-eyed mutant fishes. I stood up for the good-ol' public fountains, but we never reached any conclusion. I wish we had something like Helsinki's Hietaniemi or at least non-gay, *real* saunas (skinny rolling in the snow at -30º included). I miss all that healthy scandinavian thingies. As for my coming late to work, I had this silly moment in the commuter train when I realized I completely forgot to put my laptop into my bag, so I had to get back home. DOH! Status: still hangoverish. Resaca. Write five hundred blank mails to yourself with "I shall never go out on tuesday" in the subject line. More things. Now that I am officially a former lurker, I decided to go to the PopRevolution festival (I loove almost all of the bands in Labrador). So if any sinisterino feels like guiding this humble spaniard back into the Light, I'll be there.

You may recall that the last time I posted I made some rash claim that I would not post again until I had posted out my Sinister Christmas presents. Well, I have not posted them yet, but I will one day. Maybe tomorrow, maybe not. Anyway, I have been so excited by the sudden burst of posting to the list that I feel I must join in this joyful correspondence. It was nice to see loads of old names posting again, but I think I was particularly pleased to see Astrid mailing again, as I think she joined the list around the same time I did. Maybe there will be a sudden resurgence of posters from around that time. You know, like Psi, Grainne, Priscila, Seamus. and all the others. I'd like that. I would also like to hear from Jenowl again. I remember what I think was her last post, a joyful mail about she had finally left school and thus was free to move away where the hard kids would never find her again. And then nothing. In her happy post school life did she no longer need to post to us, or did the hard kids track her down and see to it that she never would post to anything ever again? I do not know. I've had some adventures of my own. Recently I was in the troubled land of Palestine (I don't recognise the state of Israel, except when dealing with their immigration and security officials, and in any case I spent almost my entire time on the other side of the Green Line). If you like big fuck off walls with graffiti on them then Palestine is the place to go. The olde city of Jerusalem is also good fun, if you've ever fancied seeing what cities looked like in the middle ages. I also discovered a species of cute animal hitherto unknown in the western world - the hyrax. This little fellow lives in the Judean desert and although he looks like some kind of cuddly rodent, he is in fact a relative of the elephant. And very fierce. Never forget that. Next week I am off to the Americas. Montreal, Vermont, New York, that's my itinerary. I'm a bit worried about Vermont - I've read my H.P. Lovecraft, and I hear that every second person there is some kind of squamous monstrosity in league with rugose entities from beyond time and space. Also, the place seems to lack public transport. I'd suggest trying to arrange a rendezvous, but I think I will be too busy getting over jet lag in Montreal, while I am at a wedding in Vermont (steady on ladies, it's not mine). And in New York I am staying with people from the other internet, so they get first dibs on my social time. However, it is possible that I will go along to a concert by popular Irish band The Chalets which is taking place somewhere in New York on Thursday week (checks events diary, they play at some KCRW showcase with a load of other bands in that Sin E place where Jeff Buckley recorded his lamer live version of 'The Way Young Lovers Do', on the 15th). If you go to that concert, have fun going up to people and saying "Are you the Dirty Vicar?". You might want to confer with MarkH or Amy Skelton before going to any Chalets concert, mind. I recall them saying they were going to one, but not them posting as to whether they enjoyed it or not. OK, better run before the beloved realises I've been talking to you all instead of finding us somewhere to stay in Vermont. live to rock, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Join "Sinister" just to ask a quick B&S question to the members, just to find out that you can't post before you've been a member for som time.....oh man :c( Spending hours at work deleting mail from Sinister ;) -01) First daughter born Spending hours at work deleting mail from Sinister ;) -04) ...the second is born Spending hours at work deleting mail from Sinister ;) -05) Finaly I write somthing completely stupid like this. If you still are with me I really have a question for Sinister: I'm going to London next week for a weekend trip Thurs to Sun.

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 Yber-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?

It's nasty to watch, and being from the UK it's a sheltered life (a 100mph hurricane once in a dozen blue moons). Yuck. I was in the city July 18-20th, and was amazed at how nice the population of a city can be. Super polite, even to people in my family who are extravagantly *english* tourists. always a "how you doing" and a smile. Excellent. Now i see this, Canal st. literally a canal, and think of the rats (there were a few). It must be awful down there. I hope any sinister people in the area and those with relatives are all safe and well. I know this wasnt a 15 minute email, nor does it have much list content, but this is pretty much the most gutwrenching thing i've seen in nearly 4 years. and i guess it hit me having been there less than 6 weeks ago.

Awsome. I can't remember the last time I posted properly, but I definitely used to be a regular cira '99, '00 and '01. Then I got married, and the day-to-day existence of co-habiting, working full-time etc. just seemed to get in the way of being able to spend half an hour every few nights typing up some missive about pop music and such. I do, however, keep a LiveJournal, should anyone feel the urge to keep up to date with what passes for a life here in New Zealand http://www.livejournal.com/users/suburban_ennui/ Whilst my keyboard would probably disagree, Sinist*r is still very much in my heart. I flew to Melbourne last year to see B&S play at the Palais, and was hosted by the lovely Helen Radloff (AKA Trixiefirecracker). Since then barely a day goes by with email contact from her. Similarly, Vanessa and I spent 5 weeks in Europe earlier this yet, and were graciously hosted by one Nik Ovenden in the lovely city of Edinburgh, and also had a chance to meetup with a few genuine Glaswegian listees like Stacy, Lucy and Patrick. (And, annoyingly, I missed out on meeting both James Kirk and Stuart Murdoch by a few minutes. Arrrgh!) Anyway, it's great to read posts about some of those-forgotten posters. Although I, too, would be interested in a Jewowl update. (I seem to recall she posted here a year or so back, was possibly at Uni, and was co-habiting with some boy, and seemed fairy happy to have left high school behind.) Anyway, it's fathers' day here in NZ, so I'd better dress myself and go and take my dad out for brunch. Hope all is well, wherever you are, and especially if you're in New Orleans Lawrence x PS - Incidentally (and I'm not trying to start a flame war here) but Dirty Vicar said he doesn't recognise the state of Israel. I'm all for the Palestinians having their own homeland and all, but I'm wondering whereabouts he thinks the Jews should live, given that pretty much every other person in that geographical area seems intent on their destruction/expulsion? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Talking on MSN, with a friend about New Zealand. It was Lawrence Mikkelsen I was thinking of. Just talking, about people in New Zealand. So I took my friend, to Sinister, and showed him Lawrence Mikkelsen's latest post. He read it. "Is that... thee Dirty Vicar?" he asked me. Two e's in thee. I responded, that yes, it is that web-whore we love so well, Mr Dirty Vicar. He of Bowlie fame, and Sinister fame. And probably the film, Fame, and Fame Accademy, and any other fame we wish to subscribe him to. My friend asked, if I was on "this Sinister thing". I explained that oh yes, I was. And then I started searching for myself. Not in a deep, and meaningful soulful manner, just in a shallow, egotistical way. I forgot about my posts, to Sinister. Blimey. I suppose the benefit of Bowlie, has always been that I can merrily edit and delete old posts, from the view of the majority of users. I have found the requirement to do so, on occasion. It's terribly embarrassing, some of it. If you could see the colour of shame in my eyes, simply because my cheeks find it difficult to flush properly. As for Sinister, I don't have that privilege. However, I did notice, that there wasn't a great deal I felt embarrassed to read. Although you might think I should. If anything, it brought back fond memories. Fond memories of a time, when my writing style was so much better than I'd consider it to be now (except when you go a long way back, at which point, I do cringe, even from the safety of only my computer to hide behind). I wish I knew the reason for that. Perhaps its more to do with the way you influenced me, then. You, you people who sent such wonderfully written emails, flying into my inbox. With your big words, your correct grammar, your astounding vocabulary. It's much like reading a good book. A good book will bring out something from inside you, a feeling, it inspires intelligence. Sinister maybe, did that for me. I'm smiling now. I'm smiling because I like this. I like seeing people posting to Sinister again. For months of quietness, of peace. Of near silence. A post a week, perhaps. And now, bloody hell, I can't remember everything you're saying. You all have so much to say! It's wonderful. It's bliss. My favourite line of recent posts, belonged to Jo Perry. "Hey kids, shake a leg.". I wish I knew why, but in my eyes it was just perfect. Thanks to Stacey for reporting back from the picnic. Alas, I wish I could have gone, but I had grown up duties to attend to. Not that I'm saying a picnic isn't an adult thing to do, but I just had... things to do that day. Things that were pre-planned. Still, it'll all come out in the wash, I suppose. The photos are making me long for more, more of the Sinister things again. I went into Sinister chat, recently. It had people in it! Now there was a revelation. And Aunt Sadie, went straight into Aunt Sean mode when I entered. And Miss Kittenmouse: sorry for shouting at you to post. I'll try and be a little more controlled in future. But please do it again. Mark Cassarotto said stuff ages ago. It was about vinyl. I've been vinyl shopping lately. Last week. It was a while since I last partook in such an expedition. I think I'm a binge shopper. I don't buy anything for weeks and weeks and weeks. And then payday is coming, and I've still got some money left (highly unnatural, I know). So I indulge in something. A couple of records. But CDs and vinyl. It's like cheap polyester and silk.

You're acting like I've never dated." Message-ID: <254b55c98073d7d73ef70d66d1e167c2@www.amninc.net> "Mark said "BBQ", and if there were ever an invitation for llaura llew to post, then i think that's it." Because nothing says "Laura Llew" like Pulled Pork! First things first: I'm still not married. I'm not even engaged for that matter. I dare say that I'm just not ready for that kind of thing. Of course, saying I'm not "ready" rather makes me sound like a Sunday dinner roast. And I really think one can only make comparisons involving meat products so many times in the same post. Actually, I'm much the same as the last time I posted. I still have a bookshop in western carolina. I still adore my bookshop dog, Miss Flannery, even though she would trade me in for some bacon and a long belly rub. I still believe the succession of the pope should be decided in a reality tv show ("Survivor: Papal Island") which may or may not involve Paris Hilton as a contestant. I'm still searching for the Natasha to my Flan Culp. However, I have given up on the idea of making month of the year underpants to give unsuspecting boys heartattacks so it's not all same-old same-old. It does my heart good to hear of sinister picnics and the like. I've never been to one, but while in New York earlier this summer I went to the Museum of Sex (with former Sinisterette Laurel) where I saw ten black and white porn stags play at the same time in a large room. That's what I imagine the picnics to be like - only with more cardigans flying off. While in nyc, I also got to see enough of my favorite sinisters that it was like a picnic. I finally got to meet both Ree, who is as beautiful and crushable as everyone has always said, and Richard, who is as darling and genuine as I knew he would be. Plus, I was also able to bask in all my other favorite sininsters' presence. I even had tea and a scotch egg with GayJay and Eric. It was charming and cholesterol raising which is pretty much the definition of perfect. I hope you are all well, dear friends. I have missed you. xo, Ll +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Shamefully I did unsubscribe back there, if only because I got married, changed my life, changed my name, moved house, changed job and then moved from London to Hong Kong. Eight years is a very long time. Why, the internet was barely invented back then! And now an area of the internet the size of Wales is taken up by the Sinister archives. I hardly dare look back to see what inanities I was responsible for, but as a matter of hysterical (sic) record, my first post was in August 1997 and my last in January 1999. I think that makes me a veteran of sorts. The damage certainly shows in my face. I just had a slightly worrying vision of all the hair we Sinisterenes have grown in those eight years piled up in mounds somewhere. It would surely stretch to the moon and back several times. And if we were all laid end to end, I~Rm sure we would enjoy it very much. As an aside (which I~Rm afraid all my remarks always are anyway), I see that on amazon.com, people who bought ~SJust a Modern Rock Story~T are also buying a book called ~SSex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs~T.

Is this some kind of groundhog day thing, where the list is going to grow and grow for the next three years, and then everyone suddenly buggers off to some more fashionable non-B&S messageboard? As was previously traditional, I have to put a mention in every post about how good The Whitlams are. But now, I'm going to extend it to say how good the Decemberists are as well. Their last album, Picaresque, included a catchy-as-hell ditty about being crap at sports, a melancholy ode to two boys who run away to Portland and become male prostitutes, and an epic 9-minute sea shanty about two men being shipwrecked and swalowed by a whale. How could it not be the album of the year? Oh, and they're from right here in Portland. And they've previously supported B&S (gasp! content!). And they're touring later this year in the US and UK... Maybe we could do an mp3 tree next time? Like a tape tree, but with better technology and a rhyming name... Big Stu OK, I admit it, I may have a slightly ulterior motive for posting.

The auction ends at midnight Tuesday night, British Summertime, and the current high bid is $350. The listing is here: http://soulstrut.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=432376&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 and details of how the auction works and where the proceeds are going can be found here: http://soulstrut.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=425245&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1 and here: http://soulstrut.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=427813&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 This has got to be one of the greatest 45s ever recorded. In fact I'd go as far as to say it's my all time favourite record. And the fact that it's from New Orleans is part of the reason why I'm putting it on here; to give something back to the residents of a city that has given the world so much.

I was a fairly irregular poster up to late 1999 when I began serious lurking. I liked it so much I never stopped. Till now. Bowlie? Yep, I was there. Picnics? Well I turned up too late for one in Greenwich. Wandering around the park in 1998(?) I had this exchange with a group of revellers I suspected of being Sinister types: Me: Excuse me. Are you here for any particular reason? Group bloke: Witchcraft. I walked away ? I did play with my band at Tigermilking in summer 1999. We played in a Canterbury club a few weeks back and someone said "Ah, you sound like Belle and Sebastian." We don?t, but I took it as a compliment. "Internet: good or bad thing?" asked Linda Kerr. Bad if people I like (Juliana Hatfield for instance) are releasing download only stuff because my computer cannot really cope. That makes me sad. Like a party you know you?d love but you?re not invited, or you?re busy washing the fish or something equally uninspiring. 9.30? Blimey. It?s nearly bed time. Good night.

For me, it's a long memory that I need, perhaps like that of an elephant. Unfortunately, by now, I am indeed getting the body to match. In the old days, music was the backdrop to my life, but so was food. Nowadays, there's less music, but just as much food. In the eighteen years since I married, my trips to Edinburgh have been less and less frequent, partly - indeed mainly - because for fifteen of those years I lived on the other side of the world. But now that I have returned to the green and pleasant land, I have some questions about Edinburgh, where I spent some of the best and worst days of my business trips. Restaurant 1: Just off Princes Street, if I remember correctly, there was a diner called "Desperate Dan's". They sold man-size ten ounce steaks, dan-size fifteen ounce steaks and desperate-dan-size twenty ounce steaks. I was there for Pancake Day one year, and had pancakes there to celebrate. Restaurant 2: On Princes Street, if I remember correctly, there was a basement restaurant themed around the work and movies of Rock Hudson. As it was downstairs, and with that theme, it was not unreasonably named "Rock Bottom". Despite that, I enjoyed the food and the decor, but with the passing of time and the awareness of some issues, I am sure that this restaurant has either gone the way of all flesh or else rebranded and renamed itself. Hotel 1: On these business trips, I used to stay at a place the other end of town from Waverley Station, at a place which might have been called something like the Ellersley House. They had an hors d'oeuvres wheel almost as large as the London Eye as a major point in the hotel restaurant. Can anyone tell me about the current state of any of these places? I know that there are many Edinburgers on this list who will have memories that can tell me things that are beyond the reach of Google and Directory Enquiries. Yes, the Britain I have returned to is not by any means the one | left, but in my humble opinion some of the places will be the same. Please excuse the pompous style of writing, and the fact that this is very light on B&S material, as far as I know. Or maybe the places I have mentioned were once or will become favourite places for Sinisterenes?

But now, I'm going to extend it to say how good the Decemberists are as well. Their last album, Picaresque, included a catchy-as-hell ditty about being crap at sports, a melancholy ode to two boys who run away to Portland and become male prostitutes, and an epic 9-minute sea shanty about two men being shipwrecked and swalowed by a whale. How could it not be the album of the year? Oh, and they're from right here in Portland. And they've previously supported B&S (gasp! content!). And they're touring later this year in the US and UK..." I have to agree with Stuart on this. The Decemberists are fantastic. One of the dudes in The Decemberists, Colin Meloy, also has some Morrissey covers that are just amazing. I don't know whether it was ever released or anything, all I know is that I have a *gasp* bootleg copy that was given as a gift. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Following the lead of oher folks who've reappeared here recently I feel the need to let you all know that I'm not married, I am however living in sin with my girlfriend and so once again the female half of Sinister is sfe from me. Nice to hear that everybody enjoyed Sinister's 8th birthdy celebrations recently, I was a bit annoyed at not being able to get to the Glasgow picnic, I was in Scotland at the time but had things to do in Edinburgh. On the plus side though I got to see the Pixies and Teenage Fanclub the next day so I at least got to hear some very good music over the weekend :o) It's been rather nice seeing posts from all the old posters again but equally nice to hear some new voices amongst them, welcome back and welcome to you all. as ever there is no actual Belle and Sebastian content here, maybe the list should adopt a second band for times when there is not much B&S related news (look I'm not really serious don't bother calling it a stupid idea). Anyway I'm going to see the Golden Virgins in Newcastle tomorrow, has anybody else seen them? Not only are they really good but they are the most fantastically ugly band to ever have existed.

I don't think I'm one of the best remembered Sinistereens and if I'm honest I've been unsubscribed from the list for almost as long as I've not been posting, only stopping to read the website with increasing infrequency. (Unbelievably my last post was nearly three and a half years ago) Although thinking about it I did organise a picnic once, even if it wasn't that well attended - Manchester never was a hotbed of tweedom.   So the reason I'm back isn't because I've seen everyone else saying hi and thought I would as well (although that is great) but because the last time I found myself lost and alone in a big city, one of the few things that helped me was the kind words of some people I'd never met on a mailing list.   Many things have happened in my little world since I was last here, many of them really exciting, the latest of which is moving to London all on my own for reasons of career. Everyone keeps telling me how brave I am, but between you and me I'm not feeling very brave. I've been here since July and I just don't know what to do with myself. Where do you start? Don't get me wrong, this isn't a plea for the sinisterkids of the big city to come and hang out with me, but I just can't remember how you go about making a new city your own. So any advice would be much appreciated.   In other business, Fiona's burning question of the day is whether £20 is too much to pay for red faux-leather driving gloves from Top Shop and would it be advisable to try cutting the fingers off?   I shall leave you now as I should probably go back to pretending to do some work before I finish work, but I'll try to be back soon with something a little less self-indulgent, or maybe I'll just fill you in on everything I've done the past few years.   Love and Leerdammer,   Fiona xxx. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: Hey kids I just checked the archive to see how long I'd been on this thing - first post March '99! And that was after some awkward lurking. Looking in the archive brought back some memories - I forgot how often I used to post (and how much nonsense I used to write!). So good to see so many first-posters, de-lurkers and returning old hands all at once; I thought I'd join in, despite not being quite so famous as some of the other old timers. I've never gone away and have enjoyed all of your posts over the years, so thank you. I haven't quite joined the ranks of sinisterines who've tied the knot - I still have 31 days of freedom left! I can't wait. Fiona said "this isn't a plea for the sinisterkids of the big city to come and hang out with me, but I just can't remember how you go about making a new city your own. So any advice would be much appreciated." Just get out there and hang-out. I was once that lonely person in the Monarch in Camden and I wasn't there half an hour before a bunch of lovely Sinisterkids spotted me! Does the old upside down badge thing still work? As Ian said this Friday's HDIF might be a good start? I might even put in a rare appearance myself - it might be my last chance before I move out of the big city for Brighton. Anyone else? It feels like my last outing was madly pogoing to the Aislers Set with Marc C at LSE, but that was ages ago and I must have been out since then. Well, long may this renewed vigour last! Hope to see some of you again one day.

I really enjoyed reading it. One of many things I liked was the detail about the California trip, because I´ve been having an obsession about California for over a year now. And the feeling just grows stronger, I don't know why. I'm inside of the dream of the golden land that I used to look upon as something childish. I was probably right, but I'll go for my dream anyway. My New years promise two years ago was to become more naive, maybe I will be, I never thoght so. Anyway I'll have to go there. I'm making a comic about a boyband who lives in California so at least I have to go and catch up some atmosphere. I'm afraid my comic will not be very authentic. I've never been to any of the united states. I've also never been a member of a boyband. But after all my intention wasn't to descibe the authentic life of a boyband. It's more about dreams, klichés, prejudices and feelings, and I know some stuff about that. Happy Summer's end to all of you. But I guess for those of you who're living in California, summer never ends. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Mmmm delightful! I had considered doing an mp3 tree or podcast or something actually... but I've a soft spot for old fashioned post-related communication. (And, admittedly don't exactly know how podcasts work... eeps!) Maybe after the tree is completed/collapsed we can upload the playlists/mp3 selections to share with everyone else. Maybe. We'll see. One thing at a time. In other news, I've been ill with a horrid cold/flu. Practically bed-ridden for the past two days. I managed to drag myself into work yesterday, but my death rattle cough sufficiently scared my co-workers into begging me to leave an hour into the shift. HA! Even with an amazing nonstop LOST marathon to keep me entertained, it was NO FUN! (The subsequent jungle nightmares and visions of giant spiders attacking me upon waking were a bit scary as well.) And now I totally empathise with those who have long-term illnesses like ME. I got restless after one day laying about, I can't imagine month-long stretches! Eeps! I ran into Stuart last weekend, freshly returned from America and all pouty about the preparation he has to do for upcoming shows. And what weird shows they're playing, too. Besides the magnificent sounding Barbicon gig - which I shall sadly miss :( - they're playing some strange ghetto festival, and helping open the new Perth concert hall. Coney Island looks fun tho. I've never been. His hair has grown out a bit, and makes him look years younger. Nice. He's also got new Doc Marten boots with his name embroidered in the tab! Like a posh footballer or something... only in ass-kicking leather! Cos he's so hard. HA! Hmmm. Looks like our other Glasgow friends, Franz Ferdinand, are poised for yet further success. Yay for them eh? I must say, I was secretly delighted by the results of the Mercury music prize this year. Those pompous Franz wannabies, Kaiser Chiefs, were certain they had bagged the prize, only to have relative nobodies Antony and the Johnsons scoop it up from under their collective stuck-up noses. Wahay! Plus, it was victory for Secretly Canadian, record label of my beloved Jens! There is justice after all. Well, a little bit. Occasionally. Wow. Charlotte Church sure is dirty these days. *Shudder* Oh, I can't wait for the new Camera Obscura album. They have a new website http://www.camera-obscura.net and it's so fab! Okay, I'm beginning to bore even myself here. Time to go and make another hot toddy. Ha! The one benefit of being ill is the excuse for warm whisky at 9am. -stacey _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar - get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Every time I come to LA, I manage to see her. Sweet, pure, my valentine. Platonic love, trust, simple and complete. I call, her cell phone number rings and another person answers. She must of cancelled it. It is sad that I don't know how to get in touch with her, and I wont get to see her when I'm on the west coast this time. DJing is not going well. Last time at the venue, the band didn't show, and their crowd of friends and bar customers. While it is not important to me personally for them to spend, it is of course important for the owner to make a few bucks so that she can keep the space open, and provide me with a place to spin. I do it for the love of the music, and honestly not much else. Its not easy to choose and to haul two crates of music and assorted gear from Jersey to Williamsburg. And its completely disheartining to spin to only the bartender and the uninterested people that run frequently to the bathroom, in pairs, for my self-deceptingly mysterious, but plainly obvious reasons. I have a girl I am in like with. I can't tell her all of what will follow, but I love the fact that she is too busy to see me becuase she needs to create the architecturial drawings for a beach house in California. When I meet a girl, I look into the future and see what it holds. If I cant see past the third conversation or unrequited sushi, I often politely demure, and decide this person is better as a friend. The architect girl I see - 5 years from now - her and I interviewed by the NY times about the house she designed in upstate New York, built on 20 acres. The picture in the article would have me standing behind her, with my hand on her shoulder, both following and helping. The house, of course, would eventually be well known and its aspects would be taught as the quintessential example of her style and design. Architecturial students, years from now, would make a pilgrimage to see. She would welcome them and chat freely. I would bring to the porch sun steeped, sweetened, lemon ice tea, and perhaps something to eat, depending on how far they travelled and their general niceness. Even if introverted and aloof, I would welcome them as I cannot turn down a conversation about design, furniture or any subject that makes my architect wife feel accomplished and happy. While I have only a raincheck to meet her for sushi when I get back, and have not actually broken bread or shared a spicy tuna roll, it is much too early to tell her any of this. But I am sure, at the right time, all of my hopes for us will be something sweet to say and will be said. Something so detailed and well thought out is, of course, sincere and true. Being as perceptive and insightful as she is, she will come to the same conclusion. On the face of it, it is all just a nice thing to say. But her realizing what went into the creation of an attainable and very possible futute, is what I hope to accomplish. Words are important but inaccurate. Intent is real. I read this, and I think that I dont really know this person, and she does not know me. Things may not work out the way I hope that they will, and conclude with a happy future. This last statement is meaningless. Things never work out perfectly tailored to the perfect future. I preach to my friends that life is about risk. I need to start living that myself.

I just got back from a month in the mainly high altitude desert that is Ladakh, Northern India and more specifically the western end of the Tibetan plain. I'll save finer points of socio-political discussion with big Stu for another time, but I learned lots (trekking, staying with families in remote villages, visited plenty of gompas, long chats with a Rinpoche) and erm better let folk know... I got married! Aside from both sets of parents being informed by an email ending (I paste:) "...p.s. Got married yesterday!! no joke - see attached photo and zoom in on rings :)" There are amusing photos of Sarah & I in traditional dress getting hitched by a Lama. One of the strangest phone calls on my return this weekend was with a fellow sinisterine as we swapped news, but I better let him share his... Of course the our £2 each wedding rings of 'pure silver' with "om mani padme hum" in Tibetan sold to us by a market trader turn out to be a bit closer to brass I think, but the £1.50 engagement ring does appear to live up to its sterling billing. The Mrs (or Ms?) will be along on Sunday for her 2nd B&S experience, so we'll some of you then :) love jim P.S. thanks for all your efforts honey! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

OK I haven't really. He's a noisy little oik and I have a feeling he likes Harry Potter "that way". You know. The BUMSEXXING WAY. Of course I don't approve. I have moved house recently and when I unpacked my records the first thing I listened to was BLUES FOR CEE.. CAE.. Ch... some dude by the Fatima Mansions. ON SEVEN INCHES of VINYL. Fear it. And then I listened to the Wolfhounds, then Rave Nation 92 and then Scritti Politti. Then I got ill and I have been mainlining Scott Walker ever since. In the height of red-nosed snotty gribble, I do like to take a walk in the early morning and brandish my umbrella along to those soaring strings; o! those soaring trumpets! And, O! those peons SMITED by an over-enthusiastic twirl. Apparently the um, Inter-Terrestrials? or something, appear to be the gang du choix in trendy SE London WHODATHUNKIT. I read this on a bridge, where I get all my information from. Anyway, Stacey sorry to hear you have a cold. I have one too. My whisky of choice is Scapa. I know, shouldn't waste it on a cold but any excuse eh. Pop Issues: Frank Ferguson - I can't remember what their new single sounds like Charlotte Church - hooray!

I've been watching you from the sidelines and I'd just like to say: It's good to have you back in my inbox, I had a feeling everyone had drifted away! I, myself, have been putting off writing for a while now - I was waiting until I had some "content" to provide, you know, the sort of thing that all 1500 (ish) of you might concievably want to look at. So First things First: I went to the Perth gig - I did! Honest! Were any of you there? I didn't see you, sorry. I'd have bought you a drink too, I'm that kind of guy. so, content! A Mini Style review: Stuart was wearing his "Eat the Rich" T-shirt, but it had shrunk - so it was awfully tight. One for the girls! Stevie was all besuited and looking Mighty Sharp. As Per. Beanz was in "colours" The Jury is still out as to whether they are this or last years. Ditto. Bob and Mick were in "fashion shirt" and denim troos. Smart, but Casual. I couldn't realy see the others, althought the backing violin / whistling girl with the ripped denims was awfully cute! For the completists (and David Moore, if he still does this kind of thing) The Setlist! Stars of Track and Field Seeing Other People Dylan in the Movies The Wrong Girl Meat And Potatoes Lonliness of the Middle Distance Runner The Boy Done Wrong Again Electronic Renaissance White Collar Boy Then a wee break, while they worked out a cover of: Olivers Army (Including "Stevie Jacksons Impeccable Elvis Costello Impersonation") Another Sunny Day If You're Feeling Sinister Woman's Realm Fox in The Snow Mayfly Me And The Major To be Myself Completely (I think, I misssed it as I was at THE BAR) The Boy With The Arab Strap If You Find Yourself Caught in Love Judy & The Dream of Horses The Obligatory Encores were: I'm a Cuckoo and Sleep the Clock Around. So we only missed out on "Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying" and we'd have gotten all of Sinsiter, just in the wrong order - Barbican? Hah! Electronic Renaissance was a highlight - with Struan "Feeling like Val Doonagan" as he was singing from the mixing stage - then having to get security to help him get back on stage! Another highlight: someone in the crowd stage left requesting "Arab Strap!!!" and someone stage right shouting "Good Idea!" Calumn's Mini review of the Perth Gig... Good. Other news? I'm not married(1), don't have a cold (2)and haven't camped out in any deserts (3) lately. I never made it to Mono to see the much-hyped Jens Lekman gig(4), so missed everyone that was going (5). Pretty much Business As Usual round my way. Sorry. Calumn 1) At least, I don't think I am - last weekend got pretty hazy. 2) My "Take a Break" Tip for Sarah & Stacy: Tea with blended whisky (Bells or Grouse works well) has all the benefits and saves the good stuff for when you can taste it properly! 3) Or desserts. 4) But DID get to meet him, so it's all good. 5) Is The Duke still "Keeping the Faith"? PS - Are we still wearing our badges upside down? PPS - I just worked out how to set Gmail to Plain Text - Sorry Honey, I thought it was. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <9D17C3BDDEAFD311AFD100508B5C529F267510DB@UCLHNHSM2> Hello guys! It's been a while since I last posted! I didn't get married! I don't even think I snogged anyone! Oh well! So, erm, I don't recall reading too much about the BARBICAN gig on this bitch (I know this, for sure, because I did an "ADVANCED FIND" on my sinister email folder and it only came back with 7 answers - Yes I'm so smart and tech-savvy!) ARE YOU GUYS COMING? ARE YOU EXCITED? I remember I was soooooo excited in 2001 when B+S were playing two days in a row at the Barralands in Glasgow. First B+S gig it bloody was. I'm actually really excited about this IYFS all the way through bonanza! I love that album and I like how it's ordered. I like how albums are ordered. I was similarly excited once at the Somerset House show last summer, when they did The State I'm In, Expectation, She's Losing It, and then You're Just A Baby and I was like OH MY GOD THIS ROCKS. But then there was no Electronic Renaissance. I'm glad that it was played in Perth. I hope this means they will also play this at the barbican thing. And new songs from the new album! Is there a support band for this gig? Haha, I'm so excited I didn't even check! I hope it's someone good. Like Terrorvision or something. HERE COMES THE SCIENCE BIT! CONCENTRATE ======================================== Oh! The point of the email! So who's coming to this bitch? Fancy a picnic/pubnic pre-gig? Yeah go on! ONLY THING IS, I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE, JUST YET. The Barbican is in a stupid place with no real greenery nearby (except this field that is a cemetery!) but who's to say we can't meet up elsewhere first? IT ALL DEPENDS WHO WANTS TO COME. SO EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT, TO COME! OR JUST FLIRT. Wait that's Gay Chat. Sorry. But e-mail me if you want to come. To summarise: If you are going to the barbican and/or would like to picnic on Sunday 25th(that's THIS COMING SUNDAY) afternoon, give me an e-mail! YAY!

Message-ID: Alrighty Folks! First off, congrats to all the peeps who have recently married and to those of you who are headin' to the Barbican gig. The full Sinister album live will be nothing short of spectacular. Definitely my fav B&S album. And that�s about it for the content if you could even call it that. What I want to know is if any of you have had the absolutely fantabulous pleasure of seeing the movie OngBak starring Tony Jaa(Panom Yeerum)? I think its been out since 2003 but I only managed to get my hands on it a few months back. The region2 dvd was released this week. I'm 110% convinced that this guy is the Second Coming. Yeah OK. Jesus could walk on water and cure terrible diseases but had he mastered the art of Muay Thai? I think not. The movie is a martial arts extravaganza. He also does all his own stunts and there's no wires or cgi. I cant stop watching this movie or even talking about it. If you're a fan of martial arts movies then this will blow you away and even if you're not you should buy the dvd, watch it on mute whilst listening to your b&s albums. You wont be disappointed. And whats even better is his new movie, Tom Yum Goong, is expected to be released on dvd(region3 me thinks) 1 November. From the trailers this is lookin even better than OngBak and im finding it hard even contemplating the possibility of this. There's seemingly a 4 minute un-edited fight scene in the new movie as well which makes my nipples stand on end to even think about. If anyone has actually managed to see this movie then please feel free to let me know your thoughts and comments. There's a crackin unofficial website with lots of info here: http://www.tonyjaa.org My sincerest apologies for the lack of content and choice of topic but you will understand after seeing this guy in action.

Message-ID: [insert long rambling bagpuss parody with Stuart Gardiner as Gabriel the toad probably, ending with "...but loulu loved her"] ello babies I'm sure there must be some sort of decent BOUZER in the barbican vicinity for Sunday afternoon pre-gig jollity, but frankly one isn't springing to mind, I'm assuming that one out the back (if it's open on a Sunday) will be stowed out and, frankly it's a bit rub anyway. We may have to head to clerkenwell, where at least there are some nice pubs (it is a wasteland for green spaces though, lincoln's inn field is about the closest and it's aaages away). I'm sure something will sort itself out though. We could always have a picnic by the fountains in the barbie itself, but I don't think they're too keen on having gangs of vagrants (even lovely ones like YOU) hanging about not buying their food and drink... I also understand the Kitchenettes are having some sort of gathering, maybe we should engineer some sort of jets/sharks situation on the barbican patio and have AN DANCE OFF! Anyway, from Another Place (well from pitchfork originally, not that I read it you understand, but hey, PH34R my content): Fresh from contributing their song "The Eighth Station of the Cross Kebab House" to the Help: A Day in the Life benefit compilation, Belle and Sebastian have let slip even more details about their forthcoming album. As we previously reported, the disc will be titled The Goalkeeper's Revenge, and will feature such songs as "A White Collared Boy", "Act of the Apostle Part I", "Another Sunny Day", "Funny Little Frog", "Song For Sunshine", and "Sukie in the Graveyard". FUNNY LITTLE FROG???? This better be some sort of balls out rocker and not the twee nursery rhyme the title suggests or I fear it may rival TEH CLUNKER... I got married, but then that was six years ago and only a month or so after I first joined the list, so I reckon most of you knew that anyhoo. However, I haven't seen mention of the wedding of Nickie Byrne, extremely late of this parish, which I attended in Dublin a month or so ago. Dicky Knee, also very late of this parish, was the best man and a lovely time was had by all, and it's good to see (possibly only in a very specific millieu admittedly) that TWATTYBUS (the song) is now actual wedding disco music, hurrah! Despite having been a commited badge-wearer for donkey's years, I recently have been badge-free (which considering the number of so-called young persons one sees covered in badges these days one can only assume they haf left the fashion wilderness just as I can't be botherd with them anymore, typical), EXCEPT for my upside-down bowlie kid badge on my hat what I wear at festivals. I think it better make a comeback for Sunday though, if only so people can say "have you still got that disgusting rusted thing? Also why is it upside-down?" Looking through the list of those of you who have delurked over the past month it is disturbing/delightful how many of you I have met, and each delurk has been met with an "blimey, it's [x]." actually this goes for all of you I haven't met too (yes, YOU). Hmmm, not the best of sentences, there. You know what I mean though :) xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

This Friday, there¹s an extra HDIF as a warm up to the B&S Sinister show on Sunday. At various points over the last few months I had first Richard and then Chris from B&S down as guest DJ, but unfortunately both have had to pull out. So there¹s no guest. As this is a one-off, I wanted to do something special, so rather than ask one of our previous guests to return I¹ve come up with a simple idea. As B&S are playing all of ³Sinister² in order, I thought I should do something to reflect that. So at 11.15 I¹m going to play all of ³Tigermilk². I¹ll just press play and let it run to the end. That takes us to midnight and then we carry on. I listened to it again the other day and it¹s a very very danceable record, with ³Mary Jo² as a lovely comedown at the end. Hope to see you there.

Just wanted to write and let you guys know that I hadn't gone and got married during the day between now and the last time I wrote! PICNIC???? ---------- So picanicker! So many responses and ideas! To summerise the findings so far... 1. The Barbican area in general is kind of rubbish for booze and stuff 2. BBC reckons it's gonna drizzle a bit, but you never know! 3. Possible locations for picnic i) Finsbury Circus (near Moorgate station) ii) St Paul's Churchyard (near.. St Paul's station) iii) Primrose Hill (near Chalk Farm station) iv) Regents Park (the non hilly bit. near Regents Park/Great Portland St. stations) v) Other Places More on the options.. i) ii) Finsbury Circus and St Paul's are excellent for locations as they're close-ish to Barbican. Only problem being it's a Sunday and should it rain we might be stuck without a pub around! Oh noes. iii) Primrose Hill has tradition behind it, but not so convenient for the Barbican (no southbound tube service on Sunday between Camden Town and Bank!!). Although, as a possible incentive, I found that this is where APPARENTLY some of the B0WLIE folks are going to be hanging out that day, so if we go there we might get to compare penis/vagina sizes with them! Fun. Plus, SPREAD EAGLE. iv) The lower bit of Regents Park is nice and there are pubs around that open should it rain. It's one tube from Great Portland Street stn to Barbican, which may be a bonus! VOTE FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PARTY ============================ So! If all of you email me where you'd most like to go of the above, I'll collect the information and send out a FINIALISED PLAN tomorrow, at 2pm! Wow, I'm so organised, like some kind of growed up business person. I wonder if there'll be enough people coming to warrant bringing a FOOTBALL. See you all very soon! And I'll email again tomorrow, at 2pm! Watch this space! Yeahhhhhh Ken P.S.: If all else fails we can always go to somewhere with a pond, where we can point at frogs that are funny, and little. Aw. Funny Little Frog. ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

YEAH?? WELL YOU HAVE ONE. (unless it rains, then it's to the pub we go) Okay guys, after the tremendously successful voting process, I am pleased to announce that we are going to be sensible and go attempt to picnic at a green area nearish the Barbican. This place will be FINSBURY CIRCUS. Woo! It's not quite as grand as a proper park, but it's green and close to the action later. Plus it has a BOWLING GREEN (except I don't think we will be using that) and it was described as one of the most beautiful of London's squares by Alfred Smee who saved it from devastation in 1862 by the railway company. So yay. Okay, this is THE PLAN ====================== 1. Location, Date/Time 2. Travel Information 3. Itinerary 4. Weather Forecast/Contingency Plan 5. Useful Contacts 6. External Links 7. "I don't have a ticket to see the gig?" 1. Location: Finsbury Circus (see bottom of email for map) Date/Time: 2:30pm 25th Sept, 2005 2. Travel Information: Finsbury Circus is located in the City, nearest tube stations are Liverpool Street and Moorgate. Those who are travelling by Tube, be aware that the Northern Line bank branch (where Moorgate is) will be closed on Sunday south-bound. So try and get to Liverpool Street station if possible! Otherwise you'll need to go to somewhere south and head back north, which is lame! 3. Itinerary 2:15pm: Meet up at Liverpool St. station for those who like to meet up first so not to be lost, then head to... 2:30pm: Finsbury Circus to drink booze and stuff. I don't know how many, if there are any shops that will be around and open 5:00pm: The park closes so we'll head to a pub! I've done a bit of research, and the research shows that there is only ONE pub that opens within a mile radius (I phoned up every single one!!) - luckily it's one right by the Barbican, called The King's Head. 7:00pm: (and onwards) Head to the Barbican, those who really like BROADCAST (the support band) might want to head there early doors, those who don't may want to stay in the pub for longer! The ATP website says doors open 7pm. Barbican itself says 8pm. I don't actually have a ticket in my hand yet so I can't really say which is correct! 4. Weather Forecast/Contingency Plan The BBC website is saying that it is probably going to rain! (Two drops of rain under a cloud, with a sun on top) So, if it does rain the plan basically goes straight to the PUB (i.e. the King's Head. At 2:30pm) 5. Useful Contacts Erm. Me! My phone number is 07967 755446. Call me if you need any help.. er, except psychiatric help. Stuff I can help with are say if you get lost finding the square/the pub. Actually that's pretty much all I can help with. 6. External Links Here's a map of Finsbury Circus http://uk.multimap.com/map/places.cgi?client=public&lang=&advanced=&quicksea rch=finsbury+circus Information about the King's Head pub http://www.fancyapint.com/main_site/thepubs/pub49.htm The Barbican on the gig http://www.barbican.org.uk/contemporary/25sep05.htm ATP on the gig http://www.atpfestival.com/events/line_up.php?event=18&view=485 7. "I don't have a ticket to see the gig?" You should come anyway - several people who don't have the tickets are already confirming their attendances. So you should come. Also - The last one of these Don't Look Back thing at the Barbican (I think it was Cat Power) was sold out, YET they were selling returns at the Barbican itself during the day. So it's well worth a shot if you really want a ticket! There! Any questions just ask! See you on Sunday at 2:15pm! Yay!

Message-ID: <20050922165131.37635.qmail@web51403.mail.yahoo.com> So I've not e-mailed this list for a while, but I now live in a completely new city, and am feeling adrift, and sometimes feel like a cog in a machine or like the only living boy in New Cross (well, I don't live in New Cross actually....or am a boy...oh, sod it, that's the last time I reference Carter USM..) So the day after London blows up I find out that I've been offered a job in London, one that's tangientally connected with the crazy world of Teletext. I have nowhere to live, few friends left in Mancland and had just been for an interview at a dodgy accountancy college where I was asked only about my A-Levels and whether I liked Rod Stewart. Oh, I love Manchester, but like a childhood sweetheart sometimes you need to move on to keep your fond memories. A train trip and two 'borrowed' luggage trollies later, I MOVED TO LONDON. And now I'm here...well. Still not used to it really. The first sunny month passed in a blur of bright bus journeys soundtracked by Spearmint and Maximo Park, a dalliance with an Aussie biker and being courted by a vicar's son (I turned him down after realising that I could never love a man who only listened to comedy records), conversations about bad pop videos and non-league football, and wondering how to make friends without people running away in fear. It's hard, but I'm hoping it'll turn out to be the best thing.... ....but how strange to be living somewhere that I'd never even visited until I was 16 - that for years lived only in songs and films and books? I remember listening to Blur's 'For Tomorrow' and not knowing what 'but we're lost on the Westway' meant. Two days after coming here I was sat on a bus going down it. Oh, but do you really think you've made the right decision this time? ========================================== 'Better to be bitten by a goose than be goosed by a bittern...'

Yesterday afternoon I shook hands with JO PERRY (not the guitarist of Aerosmith, the other Jo Perry) and I promised that I'd post today from work. So here I am, rock you like a hurricane. And no. I never grow tired of quoting The Scorpions. Yesterday's Sinister meetup and B&S gig at the Barbie-Ken here in London was tons of fun. I am sorry that those of you who could not attend missed out. It started out as a nice picnic at Finsbury Circus atop the well-manicured hill. The weather was somewhat sunny when we got there and it was really nice to have our snacks and booze together. In attendance were KEN CHU (still unmarried), myself, the above-mentioned JO PERRY (not the guitarist of Aerosmith, the other Jo Perry), SAM WALTON, GRAINNE LYNCH, FIONA FAIRBAIRN, CARSMILE STEVE, ROBSTER BRENNAN, PAUL HEALEY, JORDI TRENZANO, OLA SZKUDLAPSKA and as we were about to transform our picnic into a pubnic, PINEFOX arrived. My apologies if I have forgotten anyone! No sooner than we decided to move on to the King's Head pub near the Barbie-Ken, it started raining. At first just a random sploosh on the scalp, and then suddenly a full-on shower. We had to take shelter a couple of times on our way, but managed to get there eventually. ROBSTER captured a brilliant photo of how wet KEN got. Once in the pub, other familiar faces and/or names with new faces showed up, so many that I probably couldn't name them all, but including MARK CASAROTTO, JIM PURPLE TROUSERS TAYLOR and SARAH MRS PURPLE TROUSERS, OLIVIER and ROCIO, and even my better half BEN APPS. KEN had smuggled in CARSMILE STEVE'S sausage and was practically forcing it into people's mouths. We were glad that we didn't get caught, KEN said it really filled him up. Some of the folks without tickets to the gig managed to get tickets, and that was very exciting. Some members of B&S were in the pub, too and some of the kids went to talk to them. the place was packed and there was a real buzz in the air. The gig itself was amazing - really good fun. The first few songs they played weren't on Sinister, including what sounded to be like a new one - a really good song. Also as if fulfilling a request by SAM WALTON they played Electronic Renaissance. Then they launched into Sinister and Stuart forgot lyrics almost immediately. Their sound was so good that a few missed out or modified lyrics added an element of old skool charm. During Judy and The Dream of Horses, Stuart called some dancing kids up on stage and they went mad. The encore was an array of other favourites including twattybus. People got up out of their seats and danced. It was a really good time. That's about all I have time to write as I'm supposed to be working - I'm sure some of the others in attendance might have something to say about it, too! love, Rachel fruitloop ______________________________________________________ Yahoo! for Good Donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. http://store.yahoo.com/redcross-donate3/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Lisa was not the Belle he had been looking for. And in the end she had lost patience. Falling in love with imaginary people does have a tendency to make friendships turn sour. Half a year of hardly speaking a word, treading awkwardly around each other. That was how long it took. But now they are friends again. Conversing in a more relaxed manner than ever. Maybe it had all just been a bad dream. When Sebastian woke up the sun was in his eyes. It was summer. A time to ponder why windows have blinds and streets are paved with stone. Sebastian always greets the summer with anxious anticipation. It is a time when life weighs easy on his shoulders. Still, at its end he is always in worse despair than ever. With plans left hanging, dreams left unfulfilled, and girls left unmet. What Sebastian didn’t know, was that this summer would be different. It was to be the summer he had always been waiting for. Suddenly he had friends to see, things to do, salt water to leave flakes on his skin as the sun made it evaporate. He went to see a band with four boys in their corduroys. There a girl had taken his hand. A herald of change if there ever was one. It was clear it meant nothing to the girl, but it gave Sebastian a boost of self-confidence. What’s more, he now knew who the real Belle of the town was. He remembers clearly the first time he saw her. Two years ago, a brief glance. As if she had stepped out of the cover of his favourite record. Then she had seemed to turn up every now and then. Turn up to make the tears well in his eyes. Sebastian couldn’t have dreamed they would ever share a word. And now he found himself in the same city as her. Their paths crossed by accident. Belle was in a band, called The Budgies. Sebastian knew the boy with the drumsticks. So he went to see The Budgies play, if only to hear Belle’s voice. It felt warm and soothing as it lingered in his ears. These days Belle will stop and talk to Sebastian if she sees him in the street. But Sebastian would find love in someone he never knew. Their eyes met across a sunny lawn at a cancelled TVP’s concert. As dusk came, nothing more had happened. Sebastian stood troubled with his hands on the handlebars of his bicycle. He said to himself: “Sebastian, if you go home now you know the thought of her will keep you awake all night.” If this had been a year ago, he would have straddled his bicycle and been a very tired boy the next day. But tonight was different. He recalled the feeling of a hand in his. It put a new meaning into Having Nothing to Loose. So he walked back, keeping his distance. Minutes passed as he gave her glance. Sebastian’s heart tought he was short distance runner. His body was aching. Then suddenly he was walking towards her. Let’s not speculate about what he asked her. After all, he had never done this kind of thing before and his incompetence is excused. Anyway, the girl must’ve thought his question rather cute as she asked him to sit down and talk to her. Sebastian left with dreamy eyes and a piece of paper in his hand. It had a name scribbled on it as well as a series of numbers. Soon as Sebastian started coming to his senses again he learned that the numbers proved more useful if dialed on a phone. He started doing so often and this resulted in many a rendezvous. And the first kiss. And the first mixtape. One day they spent on a blanket by the beach, listening to a song Sebastian had written long ago. A song about that very moment. It was every bit as perfect as he had imagined it. What more could he ever ask for now that he had held her in his arms? It’s funny. Sebastian had always cursed his sorry fortune. Being no one and having nothing. But everything he had now was of his own making. He didn’t know how he’d done it, but he was glad he had. Taking matters in one’s own hands will always open doors for a boy. love chris -- _______________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.

The sky was a totally clear blue, and stayed so throughout the day, even as it warmed up in the middle. That night I read, by chance, Geoff Dyer's description of the same day. “It was neither summer nor autumn. The sun had none of the intensity of summer but the trees were still thick with green leaves.” Today was even cooler, even closer to fall. As I rode I thought about why I like days like that so much. The first time I really noticed this feeling it was exactly the same time last year. That exhiliarating combination of things: crisp air, clear sky, the intimation of a brisk fall ahead. The first time fall made an impression on me was two years ago, having just moved to Chicago, and I think this is source of the positive connotations. For the first time I felt like I was where I belonged and things that I wanted to come together were. I had a job where nothing was expected of me and that paid me (just) enough to live on. I had a place I could afford, good roommate, good friends around, and a working bicycle. That was, and still is, really all I need. That fall I cycled incessantly, exploring the city that I had called my own for six years but never actually known. I rode all over the city, eating in dingy ethnic restaurants and riding through neighbourhoods that were fascinating solely because they were there and new to me. I made new friends and revived old friendships, and being anywhere else in the world never occurred to me. The soundtrack to this period was Dear Catastrophe Waitress, which I listened to incessantly at work. I couldn't afford to buy the album, so I would listen to it on a Dutch radio station, from front to back all day, for weeks on end, building up to finally seeing them live at the end of October. By the date of the show I knew every word to every song. One lazy evening I had even cycled out to where the show would be to make sure I knew where it was and could get there by bus. It's a cliché, but it's really true that the more you own and the more responsibilites you have the less free you are. One of the reasons I miss that fall is that there was such a feeling of aimless possibility, that surely anything might happen since I was in a magnificent city with all of my basic needs covered, so I had the perfect foundation to build on. Now, two years later, so much has changed. I am doing—at work—what I want to be doing, I am in school studying exactly what I want to study, I have my name on a lease of an apartment instead of just hanging out there until the demolition crew comes, and I feel like Gulliver, tied down in every way, barely able to move. Every time I think I want to leave, I want to escape, I have to think, “No, I have class next week. No, I don't have enough vacation time. No, I don't know anyone who would want to do that. No, that doesn't exist in this shithole of a city.” I think about leaving, not constantly, but regularly, and I am painfully aware each time that I can't. I worry what stifling this urge will do to my psyche. I don't want to get used to it, I don't want to become resigned to the fact that for the next two years (or maybe only 20 months, I hope) I have dramatically reduced options. And then what? Will I be too old, too debt-ridden from school, too resigned to not doing things, to take advantage of it and do what I wish I had done. Will there still be things I want to do? In as way this is all academic. Leaving is not really an option, I can't afford to in so many ways. But the possibility is always in my mind, and I don't want it to go away.

Present ======= Stuart Murdoch, Stevie Jackson, Sarah Martin, Chris Geddes, Mick Cooke, Richard Colburn, Bob Kildea, Cute Violinists Apologies ========= Isobel Campbell, Stuart David Agenda ====== 1. Slow Graffiti 2. Another Sunny Day 3. Women's Realm 4. The Loneliness of The Middle Distance Runner 5. Electronic Renaissance 6. IYFS Album In Full (ref: http://www.jeepster.co.uk/showdisc.php?id=1) 7. Dog On Wheels 8. The Boy With The Arab Strap 9. The Wrong Girl 10. I'm A Cuckoo 11. If You Find Yourself Caught In Love Discussions/Action ================== 1. Lyrics notes for 'Slow Graffiti' were missing on three occasions but the audiences were able to provide backup copies. 2. 'Another Sunny Day' was a new song that sounded a little bit Country upon first hearing, and it was pretty good, too. 3. Electronic Renaissance was GRATE! even though Stevie didn't quite manage the end instrumental solo bit with a blowy device (action: KC to find out what that device was) 4. 'If you're feeling sinister' was very well rehearsed and I think lyrics were very rarely forgotten if at all during this. At the end of 'Judy and the Dream of Horses', there was a standing ovation. 6. 'Dog on Wheels' and 'The Boy With The Arab Strap' made me very grinny 7. Stuart sang the word 'wank' properly at the end of 'The Boy With The Arab Strap' 8. 'The Wrong Girl' and 'I'm a Cuckoo' made everyone stand up and dance ============================================================================ So yes, that was the gig. It was so so good. I was sitting there slouched on the (very comfy!) Barbican sofa, a beer in hand, thinking how good the sound was at the Barbican, how lovely the music is and how it was just the life and that if I had £25 on me every night and it's possible I'd go back and see the same thing over and over again. I'm properly reporting back because I seem to be reporting backwards too, the picnic was also lovely - so many faces turned up, together with their bodies - and we even made it to the top of the hill! It was very nice and I was particularly happy that we've eventually remembered the proper name of the things you bowl with in a game of bowls. And before the picnic Sam, Jo, and I saw STUART MURDOCH, and SARAH MARTIN, AND BEANS, AND IN FACT THE WHOLE BAND WITH LOADS OF THEIR GEAR* just walking down the street and through to the Barbican where they were to do their sound checks. Stuart was very thrilled to see us. "Hi!" I think he said.

THE GODLIKE GENIUS OF SCOTT WALKER someone was murmuring about scott here recently. scott is not for everyone, but in this scribe's humble opinion scott could sing the phone book and make it divine. if anyone sad enough to own 'i don't wanna hear it anymore' by the walker brothers then you'll know what i mean. i had an evening on the red wine and the scott came out......then the bacharach, then the jimmy webb. i don't drink much (he lied) but red wine + scott = mecca, followed by vomit alas. i reccomend him without reservation. espesh for the red wine crowd. yes i'm drinking now incidentally. WHO AM I? oh. i'm new here. here are some facts regarding me. faves: b&s song: slow graffiti punk rock single: 'where's bill grundy now' by the television personalities cheese: cheddar obviously film: 'if......' actually, has anyone seen 'if...'? it really is the most ridiculously wonderful film i have ever seen. i want a picnic! come on london! i've said enough james (dumbangel1) _________________________________________________________________ Be the first to hear what's new at MSN - sign up to our free newsletters! http://www.msn.co.uk/newsletters +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.
