Because we've moved to the first Friday in Brixton and the third Saturday at the Phoenix, every so often the calendar does a weird temporal shimmy and deposits the two weekends next to each other. The next time this is due to happen is in September 2007, so prepare yourselves now...! So even though we've just had (a storming, and quite chaotic) HDIF in Brixton, there's another one this weekend. I was thinking about how to make this one special on the coach back from Oxford on Saturday night, and I put "The Boy With The Arab Strap" on my walkman to help me ponder. I don't think I've listened to it all the way through for years - definitely not this decade - and it was a real revelation. All those ghosts! Stuart David and his spaceboy dream. Isobel wondering if it's wicked not to care. Memories of the moment when our secret suddenly broke out into the real world. I sat there with my beer, watching the lights of the M4 glide by and just got lost in it all again. And that's when I realised what I should do. Apropos of absolutely nothing and tying in with no relevant anniversary, I'm going to play every song from "The Boy From The Arab Strap" on Saturday night. Not in order or all together - just sprinkled through the night like old love letters. It seems to me that two of the songs were designed to be played back to back, so I'll play those as a pair. Doors open at 9pm and "It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career" will be aired at 9.15pm sharp. From then on, who knows where we'll go. The indie song of the week is: "The Kids At The Club" by Comet Gain The soul song of the week is: "Little Ole Boy, Little Ole Girl" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell Our guest DJ this week is Andy Strickland from The Loft. Hope to see you on Saturday! Ian x ----------- How Does It Feel To Be Loved?

I must say that Ken Chu is still impressing me with his clever keystrokes, even after all of these years! Most of my knickers are red, so I'm sure to have a clean pair to wear to a picnic next month, not that anyone will really know (whether they're red OR clean!) I usually try to avoid being photographed in pants on social outings but mostly because there's no way I could look better than Ken does in undie photos, the beefcake. So you'll just have to take my word for it. A couple of weekends ago, Ken and I were walking along the seaside discussing the raging music scene in Hastings. Robster took a photo of Gaylords Hair Centre. Ben ate jellied eels. Marianna and Ken frolicked in the sea. We decided that if this were five years ago, we'd probably post something about it on Sinister. I used to post anything and everything here. Mostly I just talk to people now, but I realise that most of these people are the same I met through this list. I guess that's part of the reason why I left posting for so long. Like Ian, I was recently listening to The Boy With The Arab Strap and feeling really nostalgic and happy. I think TWATTYBUS withstands the test of time. Ben and I heard a song or two from Dear Catastrophe Waitress again after not hearing it for quite a while and I recall, I think we both kind of like it. I wonder what The Life Pursuit will sound like in three years ... or eight years? Actually, I've been wanting to post ever since The Life Pursuit was released, about a strange picture I get in my head when I hear "The Blues Are Still Blue". I have an image in my mind of washing machine races, where people put an off-balance load of laundry in a couple of washing machines and when they start them, they shake so much that they "walk" and the winner is the one that crosses the finish line first. I must have seen it on tv or in a film, probably when I was a kid. That's what I think of when I hear that song. You know, laundrette, place a little bet ... yep. I told Ben about it and he thought I was a little screwy, too. But I'm not embarrassed. If anyone is going to appreciate it, it will be someone who still reads Sinister posts. Anyone? Anyone?

Vive la revolution! Ken tried to chivy the list into action in a bid to reclaim the once cherished fraternite of this fine parish by way of glorious satire. After such a fine display, I felt utterly compelled to post. BELLE AND SEBASTIAN Don't they seem to be playing a lot. Constantly hopping over land and water. If any of you want to hear them playing live somewhere in America, I think Washington, go here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5235927 The lovely Iain Baker of XFM told us all. I bought the single last week and, though not surprised, was a bit bemused at the quality of the b-sides. Combined with Stevie's effort on the Funny Little Frog single, they have to be amongst the weakest songs the band have ever put out. I still can't get into the last couple of tracks on the album either - ...Cup Of Tea just makes me hum Big John Shaft and ever since Archel mentioned that Mornington Crescent was an Oasis b-side, I haven't been able to disagree. On the plus side, all the records still make me tingle. I should stick on TWATTYBUS and remember what glorious times they were. CAMERA OBSCURA I went to see them in Leeds for the first time last month and what a lovely affair it was. Despite coming on stage half an hour late, they charmed the pants off everyone. Traceyanne did look like a rabbit in headlights though - I wonder why after 10 years she still seems so very uncomfortable with the idea of performing in such a well loved band. Indie boys were going weak at the knees LILY ALLEN Apparantly she is the new "MySpace sensation", elected straight from the streets in the greatest music democracy. But as Stuart (Tales of Jenny guitarist and former sinisterine) pointed out to me, she is not exactly from the streets, she's Keith Allen's daughter. I can't help but be suspicious. PICNIC What's this about a picnic? Was I not paying attention to that bit. It's been years since I trundled down to the smoke for pringles and red knickers - what a lovely idea. I go down quite a lot for band practices these days (shameless plug - www.myspace.com/talesofjenny - straight from the streets and no relation to Keith Allen) so I might be able to make it along. Please repost details if there are any - merci! BAPPS TRAINS Woah! I saw the link at the bottom of Rachels message and decided to investigate - Bapps makes models of the Metropolitan Line in Lego! If a cooler thing has been done, I've yet to see it. There're even little videos - you should really take a ganders BIKE I think it's time to go and have a bike ride along the river and out into the countryside of North Yorkshire.

Hi! Two post in 4 days, man. This is championship form I think. And the resurgence of the brotherhood continues. Rise, comrades! Tell me about your escapades and sandwiches. I had a toasted sandwich with butter and COD ROE in it the other day, because I bought some from Ikea - it comes out of a tube like toothpaste! and tasted delicious. It's occupying my mind so much just now: Every Morning I wake up wishing my toothpaste were cod roe, and when I finally get over it and head to work I get lost trying to find my way to Tottenham Cod Roe. There's no escaping from it! Another thing that's been occupying me I think has been listening to music with girlie singing. So good. Lately on my iPod a lot were an old Faye Wong album, some Sundays live tracks and the new Camera Obscura album. I just can't get tired of listening to a girl sing well. I can't seem to get tired of the sun, either! It's been two months now of exceptional sunshine and I keep humming 'Heatwave' when I'm cooking. And I'm so tanned. Before the summer I was 'desert sand', now it's more just 'brown'. Last week, I think I could have claimed to be 'fuzzy wuzzy brown' but the Saturday afternoon on Primrose Hill put a stop to that. My flatmate ended up with patches of 'Razzle Dazzle Rose' I think. On the Crayola website they suggest 'Beaver' to be a dull brown colour but I think they're wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, all that lot brings us to the point of the email! Primrose Hill! Sun! Red Colour! Beavers! You know what I'm getting at?? PICNIC! If my calculations are not incorrect, this summer is going to be Sinister's 9th birthday. Sigh, so young. The final year of single digit age must be intimidating for such a youngling. So we ought to throw a good picnic! I think! What do you think? I think the birthday happens sometime near the last weekend of August, so we should perhaps picnic, on Saturday, the 26th August. What say you? Email me. Email the list. Viva la revolution!

Finished grad school 2 months back, and now I'm a professional. Professional librarian, that is. In 3 days I'm going to pack up my skills and drive away from New York City and back to the west coast, though where I will end up is still unknown. Portland or Seattle. If you know anyone who needs a good librarian around those places, you can tell 'em you know one. Speaking of the Northwest, I'm pretty sure I'm going to start up Kittenmouse Radio again, or at least, I'll do some fill-in slots during August, while I'm staying in Portland and looking for work. If I end up in Seattle, you might see me on KEXP or something like that.

The intention was to write this post, and post it, on the 28th May 2006, for that was an anniversary. But things never go quite as planned, so here it is, not that far away from two months late. Now I'm feeling flat you seem a mile away. It would seem there is a picnic approaching. A picnic! Its been suggested in order so afford a trip to said picnic that I eat less and the sinisters (are they still sinisters?) will feed me lots of beer when I get there. Alas! No amount of not eating will get me to the picnic. Maybe, one day, there will be another Scottish picnic. Maybe there already has been. I'm so tired that down on the pavement I lay. There is a mighty bruise on the back of my right hand. I like that it is perfectly square. Right angles and everything. No joke. I sort of like that its 3 knuckles wide and 2 knuckles deep(and starts half way down the back of my hand), because people might think I'm hard. Grr Arrrg. I don't like that one of my fingers keeps wiggling of its own accord. Thats just weird. Til the blossoms of the trees come falling on me. Apparantly there are websites out there where people who go 'dogging' can upload pictures. There is an age limit though. Fall on me. So this week I have been eating thousand island, lettuce and humous sandwiches. It costs about �5 and lasts a week. Bargain! Hovis best of both bread(no bits!!!), tesco healthy living omega 3 spread, tesco cheapass thousand island sauce, tesco strong lettuce and tesco mediterranean styleee humous. Proir to this I mainly enjoyed toasted sandwiches with tesco seafood spread or coronation chicken. Sometimes I treat myself to a tesco greek salad with feta cheese and olives. Or have some soup. I like carrot and coriander. Or good old Heinz Tomato. Can't go wrong with that, Heinz Tomato with some buttered rolls. Mmmm. I do not think that 'Helmans' mayonnaise is needed to make a good sandwich. Not that its not good, it is! I have never met anyone who calls it 'Helmans' either. 'Helmans mayo' maybe, you know just to make sure they don't end up with the cheap stuff. Some people don't like the cheap stuff. I don't mind. This has been a dreadful post. x 'What if....' _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN Search Toolbar now includes Desktop search! http://join.msn.com/toolbar/overview +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Ooh it's been a while hasn't it? Like Andrea (hi!) I am now a Professional Information Goddess, having finished my MA - which seemed to take about nine years although it was really only three - in May. I don't think I'll be launching my new skills on the unsuspecting library world just yet though, as I now have a little Sinister bun in the oven hooray! *waves at all the illustrious and lovely Sinister parents* I know Mozart is the composer of choice for making unborn babies clever or whatever (my mum favoured Bach I believe so I am only moderately endowed with genius), but Belle and Sebastian seem to me to be ideal pre-birth listening for the discerning foetus. Matt might go for something a bit more bass-heavy and I can see his point because there's a lot of distracting background noise in the womb, but I also think the baby needs to be born with the melody to Another Sunny Day already hardwired into its brain. Famously, current crops of babies are soothed by the Neighbours theme tune, because when their mothers were pregnant it signified them sitting down and relaxing, which relaxation was transmitted to bubs. But I don't have a TV and the programmes I watch on DVD [Lost, 24, Alias, The West Wing] tend to raise my heart rate if anything. But B&S do make me relax. At this rate baby Archel-Matt will recognise Stuart Murdoch's voice better than it recognises ours. Update on The Life Pursuit: I now like all but one track very much, including We Are The Sleepyheads which I was unaccountably indifferent to before (Honey you were right all along!). But Mornington Crescent is still by Oasis. Red knicker picnic sounds lovely. (And I guess it's true what they say about Primrose Hill being a fertility site then...) I hope I can come - as long as Ken promises not to bring any cod roe, as merely reading his post made me want to heave. Whatever cravings I eventually get I am almost sure they won't be for fish eggs. Not sure what a Sinister picnic looks like sober though, so that will be strange... My sandwiches: humous and cucumber. Although today I will get to have a Sandwich Adventure, because I am buying one at work instead of making my own. Who knows what delights the lovely ladies in the Humanities Cafe will have to offer? I'm sure there were other things to say but they've slipped my mind. Still, if I remember them later then it might mean I'll post more than once this year.

They don't provide us with internet access. Intentionally. I didn't MAKE my laptop pick up the wireless signal it did it all by itself. Its very hot this week. Which I love. But I am work, which I hate. I'm not sure what that amounts to really. Todays sandwich was the same as yesterdays except my lettuce was slightly slimey on account of it being less than fresh. Most lunchbreaks are spent studying (open university). This lunchtime is not because I never realised how close I was to the end of the unit and so didn't bring the next one with me. Sigh. Glamorama by Bret Easton Ellis is either the worst, or second worst, book Ihave ever read. The other contender is The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Although purely for their endings the Stuart David books are up there...definetely worst endings ever. Such good stories too. Its a shame. I thouroughy enjoyed American Psycho and Rules Of Attraction. Robert Rankin books are my favourite right now. I am not reading anything right now. Our household recently upgraded to a 50" hd tv. I remain unconvinced. What was wrong with the old one? its not like we actually have sky hd or anything! Tomorrow is supposed to be the hottest day all week. Yay because I'm off. Boo because I'll be sitting in my room studying all day. Yay because I'm getting my hair done which means Yay a 4 hour study break and regaining non-mullet hairstyle status. But boo because it costs nearly three quarters of a hundred pounds and I'm sposed to be saving for a 2 week holiday in september which isnt even BOOKED yet and boo open uni stuff due in on thu. but YAY I think its going to be ok. And I'll have cool hair. And in the end, thats what really matters. x _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live� Messenger has arrived.

Hurrah! I'd forgotten all about him! I was just on the phone to my mum when she said "Oh I'd better go, your father says it's starting to thunder and we should go and hide under the stairs". So they did. Gorsh, heavens to Betsy, the weather's hot isn't it? My trousers are all stuck to my legs. Reminds me of when I went to a fancy dress party as Adam Ant: Dandy Highwayman, and had to wear tight leather trousers on the hottest day of the year. Oh my! Don't do that! I did win a prize for maximum dandiness though. It was very difficult explaining to an Italian (Michael Jackson) and his Korean wife ("I have come as a princess") who Adam Ant was. "Um, he's a New Wave popstar, but he's also a highwayman, a dandy highwayman. You know, a highwayman? He'd hold up stagecoaches and steal gold and snog busty ladies. Yes, a criminal basically. But he'd sing to people too, and wear makeup. Mmm, yes. So you're a princess are you?" Whenever I want to listen to Belle and Sebastian these days I watch Countryfile on BBC2. Last time I saw it they had a feature about Massey Fergusson tractors over a The Life Pursuit medley. Cor! I reckon Struan should do a duet with John Craven. He'd bloody love it. Do we still talk about music on the Sinister Mailing List? I'm looking forward to the new Pipettes album, yeah, and the new Sprites album, oh boy. I'm going to another fancy dress party on Saturday. What do you think I should go as? I reckon I will go as a Ghostbuster! All I need is a vacuum cleaner and a boiler suit and dorky specs - Egon Spengler! I could make some ectoplasm out of mushy peas. Or frogs. Or Swarfega. Does this still exist? When I was a lad we had a big pot of Swarfega in the bathroom, so my dad could dunk his hands in it after he'd been up a ladder. It was magical and I presume highly toxic to children as I haven't seen it since. Perhaps it was made out of ghosts. Or frogs.

Yesterday I took her out to the Necropolis. I hadn't been there in some years, as I don't tend to frequent the East End of the City Centre very often (there's a big hill!). I only tend to go there if I'm out of ideas on how to show a visitor a good time. You can't really appreciate what the city has to offer in a few days of sightseeing, so its always off to the obvious places. Anyway, I'm glad I don't go there very often, because they're something quite wonderful about it, and I reckon it wouldn't be quite as interesting if I went up there all the time. Perhaps its the mournful majesty of a bygone era of merchants and industrialists, philanthropists and Lord Provosts, and a host of infants who barely lasted a month. The beautiful/eerie nature owes a lot to the view, of course, but also to the knocked over gravestones (obelisks, beheaded and smashed cherubs covered in graffiti by Celtic fans) and that bloody statue of John Knox, looking with his ever disparaging eyes over the city. The view, of course, is wonderful, even if it is basically the Tennents brewery, endless tower blocks, and disused land with hills in the distance. I remember my first time there, thinking, "hey! I recognize this...its from the Modern Rock Song video!" I always think it strange that its not used more often in videos. Also, its strange to see people picnicking between the rows...essentially they're a few feet above some decayed corpse. Oddly morbid if you think about it, but nobody ever does. I don't think the dead will mind, either. Speaking of the Modern Rock Song video, a friend of mine called me up the other day. "So someone has traded in the Fans Only DVD. Is it good? Is it worth it?" "yeah, its really good. Of course, I'm a fan, so I can't tell how much you might enjoy it, buts its wonderfully edited." "so are the videos of the band or a bunch of indie tw**s that'll make me want to punch the screen?" "uh....its a mix." It put me in the mood to listen to the Belles, as I've recently been obsessed with tracks like Tocadisco's Sunday at Space Mix of the Pet Shop Boys' "Minimal". I pulled out the Life Pursuit, readying myself to do the washing up. Its really the only time I ever use CD's anymore, as technology and convenience has made them virtually useless once I load them onto my computer and iPod. I think, "oh great, this'll get some play." Of course, it skips within 1 minute. I just bought this damn thing a few months ago! I'm failed by the old world. I'm failed by the new world as well. My iPod, after just over three years of dutiful service, has glitched itself to that great gig in the sky. If there ever is to be a Glasgow Sinister picnic, I propose we fashion a wooden boat on which to lay my beloved mp3 player so it can drift from the Clyde out to Avalon to await its eventual return with Arthur. I would suggest we shoot a flaming arrow onto it to burn it as it floats away, but I wouldn't want to disturb the otters. -Matt +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

What's brought you lot out then? Pasty-faced indie geeks sitting in front of the computers avoiding the sunshine? Surely not. Get out of the city and into the sunshine, kids! That's what I've been doing. Except it's not sunny any more. And I'm in my office. Still, I tried. Picnicking sounds fun. I haven't been to a Sinister picnic since the heady days of the R!A!H! gig in 2001. That's, like, FIVE YEARS AGO. And that was in London, too. Glasgow should picnic once more. There's still enough of us here. Even if none of them post any more. <---- hypocrisy alert! Archel is right about Mornington Crescent, as she is about so many things. It wouldn't be a B&S album without a clunker though, would it? On the other hand, I think Dress Up In You may be my favouritest B&S song of, ooh, a long time. Possibly ever. I have seen them twice live already this year, and shall complete the hat-trick at Princes Street Gardens in August. Princes Street Gardens! That's, like, massive! I remember when they were playing wee places, to small huddles of adoring Sinisterines. Actually, they never really did that, did they? It was all reasonably-sized venues, jammed to the rafters. Still, I like to think I was there when it was small and intimate, rather than the monstrous rock behemoth that is stadium-friendly B&S. They've got awfully good live these days. Seems so long since the shambling giggling messes of (gulp) 10 years ago. Anyway, yeah, picnic. We should do that.

There was a possible saviour in calling the Camden Emergency Closure to reverse the move, but it was never called! "Rain in the Southeast" would only block moves on the DLR, which is useless (and that is assuming we're playing with DLR extension at all). My favourite song on the album is 'Another Sunny Day'. The guitar at the start though, is totally the same as Mayfly! But this has better words. Apart from the bit about 'fuck all' which was rude. But the bit about the peninsula is good, because peninsula is a lovely word, and is an anagram of "luna penis". The revolution of the wheels of a Truck ======================================= This weekend I'm going to this thing called 'Truck Festival', but apparently, disappointingly, it has nothing to do with truckers or munching hotdogs/sausage rolls whilst driving an 18-wheeler. Apparently instead it is some kind of music thing. It still sounds fun though, and I don't know any of the bands! But there's one called ":(" which is nice, I want to hear how they introduce themselves. There's also another one called "The Rhonda Valley Pigeon Federation" whom I'd quite like to see, because I like pigeons. Actually I do know one band who are playing, and they feature someone formerly of this Parish! The band isn't "Good Shoes", who are also playing, incidentally, and would have been apt as a name. The Revolution of the Turny Touchpad Thing on the iPod ====================================================== Sorry to hear about your iPod Matt. I had an iPod who died too, a few months ago when I dropped it at a bus stop. I have replaced it now with a new one (free with my phone) but I still have the old one hanging about and I still dream of the day when it would suddenly spring back to life with its wee Apple logo. In the meantime Matt, Broken iPods are very handy for games of catch, you know! It's just got the right weight and size. Doesn't work so well as tennis balls. If you really want to set it onto the river though, let me know and I'll float mine over the Thames, perhaps they'll meet someday along a warm stream on the Atlantic, should yours ever become lost on its way to Avalon and mine to Glastonbury. Prance Prance Revolution ======================== Two months ago, I was on a bus that was going down the road, slowly, as there was a traffic jam. And alongside the road was this man, who was walking down the road normally at first, but then suddenly started skipping and prancing down. My bus and the man were going at around the same pace so I spied on him for about a minute, as he was prancing the whole time. He was very strange, and reminded me of you. Was it you? It was on Caledonian Road, in London. You were wearing a smart shirt, and may have been quite tall, but you cannot always trust your perspectives while on a bus. For (time=now; time Message-ID: Hiya, How strange. I was sitting at work today thinking about posting to sinister. I was thinking about all the sinister adventures, and sinister # chats and sinister friends and started to feel all nostalgic. Then I came home and logged into my sinister emailing account and found millions and millions of emails. Maybe summer is just a sinister time of year. Onto posting about my thoughts from work. "Arghh, die stupid boss person! I can not do any more work then you are currently giving me. Leave me alone stupid customers on the phone. I'm sorry we can't send you what you order in 20 seconds flat but you live in the other end of the country. Wait it wasn't those thoughts I meant. We were driving through Northumbria. Bright sun flashes dancing in front our eyes. We were listening to "If you are feeling sinister" recorded live at the barbican. I like listening to that and thinking about people I know dancing and smiling and singing. I drunk shloer out of the bottle to my imagined disapproval of on looking cars. "Drinking a soft drink which looks like wine at 10am in the morning. Straight out of the bottle too. What is the world coming to?" A fly smashed into the windscreen smearing blood that looked like jam. I felt kind of happy and sad all at once. Sometimes all those people and places seem so far away and so long ago - they were good people and good times (Too sentimental? Yes.) But, I'm excited by all this posting. Picnics are good! & I am coming! People have also been talking about ipods dying. I when I first ever posted I wrote about my cassette walkman dying. Technology moves so fast. I can't keep up. I listened to my first ever podcast this week by ballboy (http://www.ballboymusic.com/downloads/ballboypodcast.mp3). I'm not even sure what makes a podcast a podcast but this one involves talking and singing and drinking beer. I like ballboy. They feel like B&S to me. They don't sound like B&S to me though. But they mean something, they make me feel something. I'm obsessive about them. I must go now. I have to pack and get ready to see sini-kid Grainne! See you soon. It'll be great!

Okay, I've read the rules and I've been reading the posts and I've decided it's time to introduce myself. My name is Matt Brown and I am 40 (yikes!) years old. I became a B&S fan when an album that I produced and played on was compare to them. I was curious, so I listened to some B&S snippets online, fell instantly in love, and have since gone utterly nutso. I wanted to tell you that I have made a website where I reviewed every single individual B&S song. The site allows users to add their own comments and opinions on the songs, too. I am not advertising, because my site is non-commercial. It's just something I created as a way for B&S fans to talk exclusively about the band's songs, which for me is what it's all about. I'd love for you to come and join in. Just go to http://www.star-room.com/reviews/songs/search.php Search by artist and type in "Belle". A list of every B&S song will come up. Please remember, I am not advertising. I gain absolutely nothing from this except maybe some fun discussion! Cheers to my fellow B&S fans, Matt Brown Www.star-room.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Apart from that it's bloody hot today. So I'll start by defending Mornington Crescent by saying that it's not the worst song on the album. Actually, I love the LP LP because it's the first B&S album that you can listen to the first two-thirds of and get all the good songs before it's time to get off the bus. Although I'm still mystified as to why the only song that got airplay over here, Another Sunny Day, isn't a single... Oh, for anyone who cares, I'm currently living in possibly the world's greatest city, Portland. Home to arts, fantastic outdoor activities, alternative everything, weirdness, and pretty much every US indie band worth listening to (new Decemberists album due on October 3rd... I've not looked forward to a release this much for ages... No smutty thoughts please Ken...). And I'm probably about to move to what I'm told is another contender for the world's greatest city, Melbourne, for a few months. It's a hard life. You see, I didn't have much to say really. I won't bother next time. Big Stu (It's been so long since I posted, I'm out of practice.
