From david.moore99 at xxx.com Sun Aug 5 11:19:23 2007 From: david.moore99 at xxx.com (David Moore) Date: Sun, 5 Aug 2007 11:19:23 +0100 (BST) Subject: Sinister: Birthdays Message-ID: <715551.29341.qm@web86301.mail.ird.yahoo.com> Hi Fragrant Sinisterines, Long time no speak, hope you’re all doing fine, living happy, fulfilled & productive lives. Speaking of which, CONGRATULATIONS to Chris & Vicky on the birth of son Aidan Paisley earlier on today. Apparently Mum & Son are very well, Dad is off getting the name printed on the XXXXXXXS size replica Liverpool FC shirt. >From one Sinister birthday to another one. I think that someone well organised like Mighty Ken Chu should post some instructions, plans, timetables, etc. for the 10th Anniversary Sinister Red Pants Day. Just so that everyone knows what’s going on. And then maybe people actually intending to attend could please put their hands up and let us all know that they are going to go, so that people travelling from FOREIGN PARTS could be re-assured that it is going to be worth their while making the journey & that they will meet lots of interesting & friendly people. Or just YOU. For a change I am writing this from a beautiful Cornish farmhouse on a lovely sunny day surrounded by green fields & wooded hills with more or less only cats, cows, bluetits, woodpeckers (green & spotted) & buzzards for company. Nice.

We were thinking about having a DISCO with INDIE MUSIC, but the venue we could have got for free is not available SO we'd have to pay to hire somewhere (ie The Betsey), BUT i'm rather afeared that a lot of the people coming will be tootling off once it gets dark, so we'd be left with all having to chip in quite a bit for the hire costs. The other option currently being proposed by myself and a certain Ms F Candarel* formerly of this parish, is just to go to a pub (possibly the spread eagle, maybe even somewhere else), and then let the wonders of Camden on a saturday night provide us with indie with much less hassle (although probably many more records released in the last five years).

I ate TRIPE for the first time yesterday, am pleased to report that it was very yummy. I recommend the posh restaurant in London's Trendy Chinatown which has a river running through it and some ENORMO fishies. I also tried some chicken feet - they are like a more complicated chicken wing. A bit overrated? Am still fairly HAM FISTED in the use of chopsticks. Must therefore EAT MOAR until I am 1xexpert. Nommy. Sorry, off topic. OK - I shall therefore share the info that WHITE COLLAR BOY by B&S was the SOUNDTRACK to a recent trip to Germany. We sang it whilst wandering the streets!

I also think that evening plans could take care of themselves, and I am definitely NOT just being lazy and do not want to drag pallet of Long Playing Records across London, up baxenhill, down baxendale, and then drunkenly try to PLAY 'em :) And the Spread is a TRADITION, as any fule kno! > *i am only daring to mention this pseudonym because i know > she'll never see it ;) Ahem, sorry, *who* isn't on Sinister? :) Nope, I don't know either!

I aim to attend, I hope others do also. If you think Mooro's posting from a farmhouse is impressive, how about this - I am actually posting this from home!!! Well, it hasn't sent yet. It is probably costing me a fortune. I have been listening to Lloyd Cole for the last hour and a half while trying to use this computer, which surprisingly managed to be online. I don't understand what Carsmile means, about 17-year-old Canadians; once again I fear for the state of his sexual ethics. I don't think it sounds a good idea to have no idea what to do after the picnic. It would perhaps be a better idea to have some ideas, at least. That reminds me, I saw in the Guide about a disco called Twee as F**k. I don't like using those swearing words, in writing. I wondered what it would be like. I will probably never find out. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Got a little couch potato?

I have been meaning to post for some time There has been an ever increasing amount of things I have been wanting to say But the sadness is being dealt with, the happiness is ongoing, the rest is history and future and uncertain! And none of it has a place in this post. This sudden small burst of Sinister activity has left me all excited about Birthdays and picnics and twee celebrations and the fact that Sinister is not completely dead. Hurrahs all round! I will be attending Sinisters Tenth Birthday Bash, accompanied by my beau (he is not quite Sinister, but close enough). It has been some time since I have attended a Sinister get together, around five years! Crivens! And these days...it would sadly seem that picnics are just not the done thing anymore. It has gotten quiet around these parts. More for another post! The Facebook event page for the bash shows almost 20 confirmed attendees and a few more 'maybes'. Pub for afterwards sounds good to me! Anyway, must dash, much lazing about to be done London, here I come!

Since there seems to be a little flurry of activity on the list, I thought I'd speak up and say congratulations to Vicky and Chris on the birth of their son as well! That is very nice of David Moore to let us all know that he's finally arrived. As for the London Sinister birthday picnic, Ben Apps and I will be attending, as will our baby son, James Stewart. It would be nice if some other Sinister babies were there, such as Chris and Vicky's Aidan and Rachel Playforth's daughter Alice. If any other Sinister babies were born when we weren't looking, it would be nice to meet them as well! We won't be attending any after picnic activity as I can't drink, we live a bit out of the way, and it will be past Jamesy's bedtime. Does it mean that I'm getting boring, you tell me ... We had a test run of bringing baby James to a picnic when we attended Robster's birthday celebration a couple of weekends ago. It went pretty well, he met Carsmile Steve, Pinefox and Starry Sarah just to name a few. The best part about the picnic was the salt beef and gherkin sandwiches. Mmmmm, salt beef! The other day I was trying to figure out what dates I was physically present in the United States so I could complete my son's U.S. Report of Birth Abroad form, so I was looking through some old emails. I think I had convinced myself that Sinister was never as fervent and vivid as it once was, but looking back I see that it really was *grate* and it made me a wee bit sad to think how much things have changed. So it will be nice to get together and reminisce and maybe Ken will show us his bum. Love, Rachel fruitloop Want to see what I've been up to?

I had a strange experience on Thursday past...I went into Space NK in my leafy suburb of Cheshire where I work and who did I run into, No, not Kerry Katona, but a certain Mr Steven Patrick Morrissey. We had a little chat about beauty products, the neighbourhood where he grew up and about some other tidbits of information. He was a very nice man indeed and it was lovely to meet him.

Message-ID: Joe and I have two of the little beggars! Kitty is three and Edie is almost one. And they truly *are* Sinister babies, in that they wouldn't exist if we hadn't met through Sinister back in 2000. I think that's something to be celebrated, and we were intending to celebrate at the picnic in August.... sadly, it coincides with Edie's 1st birthday, and there are grandparents who would be most disgruntled if we carted the girls off to London rather than do the whole birthday party business. *Sigh*..... Maybe we need to organise some kind of mini-Sinister (Minister?) event? All the babies could get together and drink bottles of tigermilk and dance tweely around their change bags. So we won't be at the picnic, but I want to say thank you to Sinister and all the lovely people who've been on it over the years. I wouldn't have my wonderful man and my beautiful girls if it wasn't for you. Neither Joe nor I have posted for a few years, but we've remained loyal readers, and will never forget how much we owe to the list (and to Lorraine in particular) and to B&S - so, HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY SINISTER!!!!

Even better, I have persuaded Matt to take her home at a reasonable hour leaving me to party in my old pre-breeding Sinister style ie. from noon until noon again(?) I think having a mini-picnic one day is a great idea too. So nice to hear about all the Sinibabies :) Ooh and I am jealous of Rachel getting to chat to Morrissey about beauty products.

And would I have had any London chums when I moved here in spring '98 without Sinister? Only the geezer outside Brixton Tube handing out flyers for Iration Steppas and Aba Shanti and we were never really on more than nodding terms.

The Harrison has a strange frequency in my life, this year. It seems to enter under one guise or another. It's OK, actually, I think. Carsmile, why have I, as always, not been invited to be a disc jockey, at your disco? It seems to me you have not 'carefully selected' quite carefully enough. Steady Mike and I would not have met without sinister, as we did on the 4th May 1998; so without it, not only no 'Milk Bar' ep, but Stuart Storer and Gary Bloom would feel much less well remembered by now. Crikey - surely this can't be the same Stuart Storer? He is described as a defender, but did play for Birmingham then Everton. It must be!http://www.hinckleyunitedfc.co.uk/club/pp/storer_stuart.html For symmetry's sake I had better follow that up by saying: for Blooming truth, see ttp://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=40&threadid=1524 - rereading which has just told me about the encounter between Barwry Took and Paul Morwley. The Morrissey encounter is stunning - almost too stunning to be true. It sounds like something that could definitely have happened in 1986 or even 1989. But 2007? Oddly last night I read Simon Reynolds' M interview in Bring The Noise, which is sufficicently longer than the one in Blissed Out to make the book worth having, maybe - and in this full take, M complains about high levels of taxation in Britain! He actually says: 'It seems like you're just not allowed to make money in this country'. This was, as it happened, exactly the same time, probably the same month, that Nigel Lawson lowered the top rate of income tax from 60 to 40 per cent. How did M feel about that? ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat? Check out tonight's top picks on Yahoo!

Let me start by saying that I'm jealous of you people that will go to the Picnic! I currently live in the US (Ohio), and flying to London for a picnic will not be approved by the financial committee here at home (the wife... (not sinister)). I sometimes feel I am the only Sinister one in this continent... Are there any of you out here? I never meet anyone that even knows B&S or have heard of the (sub)genre Twee Pop. Heck I wouldn't even have known myself that my love for music was concentrated in that genre if it hadn't been for Last.fm and Wikipedia. (I know it's a controversial genre here, but let's go with it for a lack of better ok?) I'm even more unique being a stay-at-home-dad... If you guys can find me a stay-at-home-dad in the US that listens to B&S I promise I will donate $100 to charity. Now on to the more serious stuff; I was born Dutch and from a young age I had the feeling I was been born into the wrong country. This might have started when my parents brainwashed me... Filling my days with The Beatles while being strapped to my high-chair. They said it was for my own good..., so I wouldn't fall out... yeah.... So as a little kid I was crying to (or with) the Beatles. That was the 70's. In the 80's I got a Wham! to the side of the head and lost my voice singing "I don't want your freedom!" while in the 90's it was all about "Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you..." And now in the 00's I make sinister jokes about funny little frogs with my imaginary friend Johnathan David, telling him that I want to call my mom and say: "Mom, I seem to have lost an important part of my brain somewhere, somewhere in a field in Ohio...". So I still feel I should have been born a Brit. Now you might think this just sounds like a pile of Yankee wannabe Brit cuckoodoodledoo... And you'd be right. A while ago I asked my doctor about getting a trans-nationality-operation. He said this was no light decision. Was I serious about this? Yes. He suggested to first live like a Brit for a while to see if it really was what I wanted. So I did. I combed my hair forward, let it grow over my ears, unbuttoned my shirt too far down, hung the Union Jack outside my house (which caused quite a stir in Suburbia here) and went on a strict diet of Fish and Chips in newspaper. Then I took it a step further and repeatedly had myself kicked out of the local "Irish" pub at 11 pm sharp (hey it's nostalgia) and dragged myself home. This dragging business caused quite a number of inquiries by the local police force, but after explaining my quest and proving that I wasn't actually intoxicated they even escorted me home... The next stage was to go on Britmones and that's where I failed. Already the first day after taking my dose (15 pints of Guinness) I had some sort of allergic reaction because I puked my guts out. So maybe I wasn't fit to be a Brit after all.... To those that made it this far I say; Thanks for listening! To the rest I say: .... No loss you b at st@rds! You're not even worth it. ;) Michiel sinister at buenk.net +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

We're both a little older, but it suits you. You've grown into yourself. There's a confidence there that's...well, its kind of sexy. What are you doing later? Oh, okay. No, its fine. I'll probably wash my hair too. What there is left of it. I've been meaning to write to you for a while, Sinister, but I've been avoiding the computer. There's one at work, you see, and the one at home feels too much like it. Also, when I turn it on and try and do things like type e-mails, there are these subliminal messages it flashes up to me. There's a really terrifying, dark dark blue one that shouts IF YO DON'T FIL IN APPLICATION FORMS YOU IS GOING HAVE NO JOB AND YOU IS GOING TO HAVE TO PIMP YO ASS ROUND BALSALL HEATH AND NO FUCKER IS GOING TO WANT TO BUY IT. NOT A GAY MAN LIKES AN OLD ASS. Very dark blue, dark, dark blue. Eyes, like the sunrise. There is an equally disturbing pastel pink one that whispers..."play online scrabble.... play online scrabble... meaningful and purposeful activity? Why do you need that....? (stop smiling, Taylor) triple word scors, triple wrod scros.... " But, for now, less of such frippery. Who needs triple wrod scros, when you have pICNICS! Oh how lovely! I've thought for so long how nice it would be to go to one. I mean, the Birmingham picnic mark II* and the Sinister Tallinn Jamboree** were great, but they don't match a TENTH BIRTHDAY. I think we all need to wear our best party outfits. Perhaps we could going in fancy dress. Perhaps we should dress as BEARS. We are no longer twee teddy-bear clutchers, now we are FIERCE BEARS who can take on the world!!! YES!!! Who is up for this?!? Speaking of meet-ups, I clicked on a message to reply to this, and it turned out it was Ken saying this: > I'm all about going to places, this summer, it's going to be the > summer > of festivally fun, I think. which was kind of nice, really, because I didn't see most of you at Glastonbury, but I saw Ken, wandering up through a field, and we sat in the mud and listened to an imaginary disco and very nice it was too. Also, Ken said this.. > P.S.: I haven't heard from "Faith" from myspace lately, I hope she's > okay. Perhaps she's gone to facebook. I've pretty much abandoned > all > of the internet except for facebook. Except you, sinister, cos I > like > you x Its a shame about faith. She always vanishes when you're expecting her to stick around. Perhaps you've been taking her for granted. Cherish her, bring her flowers. Send her your bank details. I find this last trick makes more friends on Myspace than anything else. I wondered if there was a facebook sinister group? Searching for Sinister on facebook brings up about 8908098 groups. It would be nice to belong to another facebook group I don't actually read. It would give me something to think about when not filling my pretend aquarium. Robin and Jim talked about the Green Man festival, which I wish I was going to. But I'm not. Bummer. I hope you have a nice Sinister meet-up though. On the up-side, I am going to the CONNECT FESTIVAL. Which is in SCOTLAND and has TEENAGE FANCLUB, amongst others, playing. I think there might be other Sinistereens attending too..apparently at least one member, of far greater Sinister Stature than myself....but hopefully they'll post about that... Is anyone else coming?? It'll be FUN, and not WET. It seems everyone is having BABIES. Well, big congratulations to all of you. I am hoping several of them will attend our picnic, and that at least one will bring a teddy bear. Which would be good, because then we will be people dressed as BEARS holding teddy bears, and it'll be DEAD FUNNY. Also, as Morrissey is now practically a member of Sinister (reflected glory is a marvellous thing), I suggest we invite him too. We can dress him up as a monkey. He'd enjoy that. So, babies, bears, monkeys and what else? I think we should have a COMPETITION! THE DESIGN-A-SINISTER-COCKTAIL COMPETITION!!!!!!!!! I was going to put instructions here, but they seem uneccessary. And we should all make one, and drink it in honour of the winner. Good idea?? Good idea!! GOOD IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know, I think I've shot my bolt. There's no more e-mail left in this head. Trust me, I've looked for it, and I've got no idea where I left it. Perhaps it is too much EXCITEMENT. See you soon, folks. HURRAY!! xx Ian *The Birmingham picnic was actually 3 of us sat in a bar. But it was GRATE!!! Better than PEARS! Maybe we should have another one one day. **The Tallinn Jamboree was actually 3 of us sat in a variety of bars. One of these people was not, technically speaking, a member of Sinister. But it was GRATE!! Better than POMEGRANATES!! Maybe we should have another one one day. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Wilson'. I think the 'H' was part of it. I was slightly stunned last night when at 10:35 it was announced that he had died, presumably mere hours previously. On the end of the pwrogramme they featured Richard Madeley, Paul Nearly and Peter Saville, and Stephen Morris chirping laughingly down the line from a dark Manchester avenue. Anthony H. Wilson, said Richard Madeley, deconstructed World In Action. He was very loveable. Yes, said Paul, really, but he was very hateable too; he wouldn't have wanted you to love him too much. When you hated him you thought: I ought to love him, and when you loved him you thought: I ought to hate him. He dreamed up history before it happened, said Paul, not poorly: he said it would all happen, and somehow it came to pass. He said to me, You're going to be a great writer ... he somehow engineered it so that one of the best television presenters in Britain, and one of the best wrock writers in Britain, if not THE best, and one of the best designers, if not THE best, are all here at the end to say goodbye to Tony. Today the sun is shining again and 'Everyone Everywhere' is playing. That's the best I can do, right now. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sick sense of humor? Visit Yahoo!

All this excitement about picnics. It has been SIX WHOLE YEARS since I picnicked in London, sitting outside the R!A!H! with some of you lot. A long LONG time ago. Sadly I can't make this one as I am all growed up now and have to move into my shiny new house that weekend. I *could* just fly down for the weekend and leave the mister surrounding by packing crates, cursing me, but in the long run I think it's best that I don't. I shall raise a glass or two in yr honour though, and remember all of the great things that have happened as a result of this daft wee list. Friendships, weekends, drinking, fun, festivals, weddings, babies. Not bad for a bunch of twee bedroom-inhabiting socially-inept nambly-pamblers. Talking of festivals, Mr Ian A (who I met at Bowlie, atop a sand dune at stupid o'clock in the morning, and scribbled down the URL for Sinister because he seemed like the sort of bloke who'd like it here) said the following: >On the up-side, I am going to the CONNECT FESTIVAL. >Which is in SCOTLAND and has TEENAGE FANCLUB, amongst others, playing. >I think there might be other Sinistereens attending too..apparently at >least one member, of far greater Sinister Stature than myself....but >hopefully they'll post about that... Is anyone else coming?? It'll >be FUN, and not WET. By member of far greater Sinister Stature, I'm guessing he is meaning the very lovely Glam Pam. However, I'm going too! It is one exciting old lineup for people like me who don't care about young people's music any more. I am quite extraordinarily excited at the prospect of standing in a not-muddy field listening to the Jesus and Mary Chain and the Fire Engines, though not so much at camping. Festivals in holiday camps have ruined the "joy" of portaloos and traipsing through mud for me. Enjoy yr picnicking! ailsa xx _________________________________________________________________ The next generation of Hotmail is here! http://www.newhotmail.co.uk +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

When did all of these babies appear when I'm (still) not even getting any action! Sigh. Ooh, there, some classic sinister posting out of the way. It's probably a good thing that I don't (knowingly) have a baby, since I have recently changed my career into that of a professional gambler. I'm off to Las Vegas next month!! Apparently they have gambling there, and buffets, and booze, and DDR machines. It sounds a bit like promise land. I'm going to find my Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas disc and play it again in anticipation. I've been practicing already, too, well, not so much the gambling, but I ate those same TRIPE that Sarah J Clarke sampled, before eating 387290 + 16 sushis later that night! It was awesome. Before Vegas excesses though, bloody hell! Picnic!! I forgot how picnics work it's been so long. I hope somebody's bringing a footie! I know this is negative thinking but risk is something that's inherent in every plan, and they should be mitigated - what happens if it rains? Do we just BRAVE the rain and sit up the hill or will we Spread Eagle it? If only I didn't leave the Gazebo at Glastonbury, we can set it up and be all poncey. Which will actually tide us nicely to that Harrison place later that day - it looks well posh! And I am one of the carefully bumcracked squad of DJs! Yeah! Where did I put my Terrorvision album? We have to drink £300s worth of booze! How many cans of Tennents Super is that? I was in Cornwall a couple of weeks ago.. It rained quite a bit.. But it was bloody grate when it was sunny. I made a pair of sand boobs for myself. They were ace, and very firm. See you next weekend!!

We go up the hill and go under SOME TREES! The rain will cease, and even if it doesn't, we could probably do with a wash, couldn't we. Some of us had a picnic in Greenwich Park in the rain on Bloomsday. We took refuge in a bandstand and it all ended up being quite smashing! I might recommend bringing along a blanket and maybe one of those compact little umbereller eller ellers wot you can slip in your handbag, or manbag just in case :) HOWEVER, it will NOT RAIN so I don't know why I am even bothering to say this actually :) Bring beachballs, frisbees, foopballs, ping pong tables, teddy bears ect as is your wont.

It's about the Bolton defender J'lloyd Samuel, and it goes like this: J'Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken You can't go no further, so pass it to Kevin Nolan? It's good, no? I went to dance on Saturday and I had a drink of whiskey - talk about a Belle and Sebastian moment. And wasn't it just fitting that whilst I was there dancing, I saw several from the sinister massive: including Stevie Trousers, the Pinefox, and Feather Boa. They all seemed, as was I, thrilled about the picnic that is soon to come. It's going to be pretty good, I reckon. I realised the other day what a silly bugger I was to be thinking about the rain that won't happen on Saturday, because IT WON'T HAPPEN. The weather is going to be beautiful and we'll have fun sitting on top of a hill watching the so very nice view. I can't stop listening to Blur lately. It's really strange. It makes me nostalgic about London when I first moved there, actually it's probably more London when I was about 2 years into moving there. London and I had lots of excitements back then - we had some brilliant fun times but sometimes it hurts me a lot, too - London and I still get on wonderfully, and we know each other so well, that almost everyday is pleasant, and I've learnt to live with its idiosyncrasies that when things go wrong I don't feel so dreadful anymore. I wonder if this is what it means to be growing up.. and I wonder if I prefer this. What I meant when I said all that was.. er, some Blur might happen on Saturday night at the Harrisons. So.. watch out!

If there would be a cake and candles to blow out, I wonder what a Sinister wish might be? Maybe 'I wish I could say the same for you', or 'I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend', or 'I wish I had two paths I could follow', or, if you happen to know someone going off to war, then 'I wish you well but don't be sore if I cheer the other team'? For me, it would have to be 'You can wish because I'm not here to fool around', because I won't be fooling around with you all up Primrose Hill, worse luck. I'll be in Spain, on a yacht; which is pretty much the least fitting thing I could possibly be doing on the band's tenth birthday. I feel quite sorry about it. (Then again I don't because it's HOLIDAYING ON A YACHT and I can't wait.) The other thing I'm sorry (and confessing) about is buying an unofficial 'The Life Pursuit' t-shirt off eBay. I couldn't help myself. Those official ones are super, but they're awfully short for a 29 year-old midriff that's less 'washboard', more 'cheeseboard'. This one is the answer to my fashion blues. Florence emailed to tell you about more Sinister babies. I haven't any; Sinister or otherwise, but I am thrilled to be Godmother (although this title is also unofficial - I am popularly known as the 'GodlessMother' - what would Stuart say?!) to Joe and Flo's eldest, Kitty. I visited recently and found her to be marvellous company - definitely a Sinister in the making, although she's more of an Amy Winehouse fan for now. So yep, like many others, I rarely post but always read. I think I signed up back in about '98-'99, when there was no Facebook or YouTube or Sky TV to distract me. Back then I was at Uni; listening to Mark and Lard and getting tiddled on half a cider. CAN IT REALLY BE TEN YEARS?! Now I listen to BBC7 and struggle to get tiddled on just one more box of cheap wine. You've come a long way, baby. Have a wonderful picnic if you're going to one - do you think there could be photies, please? Cos that would be GRATE. Bye for now.

What will they do in 1996? Message-ID: <1f3ef9770708211335j3b9c45eeu14462a4fb8eddff9@mail.gmail.com> OK, I can't remember off the top of my head if that's the exact quote.* I can pinpoint exactly the moment I thought: the Sinister Kids have all grown up. It was a Sunday, last winter, in the early hours of the morning. I was on my way home from my favourite fetish and S&M club, and had just dropped my friend Marianne off her her house. I had another half an hour to get home, on my own, so I turned on the radio. It came on to Radio Two, and they were in the middle of playing a Camera Obscura song. Bloody hell, I thought. Back in the day, there was a Fifth Birthday Picnic that I didn't make. I went to karaoke a few days before, in a pub lurking in the shadows by Waterloo Station, but I couldn't make the picnic because I was away visiting Lutetia. This weekend, there's a Tenth Birthday Picnic that I can't make. I'm away, visiting Lutetia. I haven't visited at all in the interim years. Damn you, the cruel hand of coincidence. This time, I'm going by plane. I've never been on a plane before. Maybe I'm growing up too. * from the sleeve notes to Tigermilk, kids, if you didn't recognise it. -- FP http://www.symbolicforest.com/blog/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Today I started on Electric Light (2001). And you know, I think the first 5 poems or so in that collection are better than most of the recent one. There is a real savour, colour and verve to the 2nd and 3rd poem, whose names are a) 'Perch' and b) 'Lupins', I think. It is, probably, a long time since anyone said, on this list, anything as nice about me or something I had collaborated on as what Krister Bladh said in that latest post. Thank you, Bladh. It is two words, though: 'Day Star'. It was only Chick Factor, I mean, chickfactor, that got it wrong. Or was it Paper Cuts, I mean, papercuts, I mean, Papercuts? The strings on my guitar - the guitar on which most of It's Been A While and Lives You Didn't Lead was recorded, though perhaps not 'Day Star' (I think the acoustic on that was Stevie T's; he certainly played it) - are sounding worn and strained, perhaps seeking to be in tune with the state of their owner. Should I bring that guitar? It is a nice idea, as someone has asked me, but it would surely be an impediment in any post-picnic travels, attempts to get across town and wander through discotheques, etc. Other people used to bring axes, too, didn't they - Chu? Or did Chu only bring a football? Well, a football used to be a good thing to have, on hand, at feet. I was struck a moment ago by the memory of how it was, not 10 years ago but perhaps 9, 8, 7 or even less, at these picnics; of the sense of vast possibility, albeit often frustrated, awaiting, delayed, enigmatic, that still seemed to hover over life, out in the great blue skies above, in the slow clouds and the green slopes, the ranks of yet unopened bottles and unlived hours. I'm afraid those days are gone. But I still expect to hear their echoes, teasing, taunting or faintly comforting, across the hill somewhere, sometime, on Saturday. Last week a Austrian friend from Cornwall and Japan gave me a load of music, which is on this computer right now, would you believe. And it included a few tracks from Lloyd Cole, and the Commotions, that I didn't have. I have just started one of them playing: 'Lonely Mile'. And though not a very evidently structured song, its sound is tremendous. He sings 'mister' every verse, Neil Clark sounds like Robert Quine, the keyboard makes great swashes of chord change, a harmonica adds its melancholy in the distance behind the chorus. It ends with a final rattle of drums. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Heartthrob.

It was the first Germany game at the new Wembley. The fans are still going on about 1966, even the ones whose parents weren't born then. And most obviously, Germany scored more goals. I don't think I've ever heard the Magnetic Fields in a pub. Someone was blogging about them so enthusiastically a couple of years ago that I acquired a copy of 69 Love Songs as a result, and I didn't regret it. It's most unusual for me to take notice of band recommendations, but when I do it's often quite significant. An early example of this resulted eventually in my marriage, but I won't tell you who the musician was because some of you might point and laugh, even if you're thinking "me too" under your breath. And of course Miss Honey's enthusiasm for Belle and Sebastian got me here in the first place, and a fine community of people it is too. I know you're all far too friendly to point and laugh really, but I still won't be telling who. But we're celebrating our 20th anniversary next month: twice as long as Sinister! And last week our firstborn came back from Canada and got his AS results, while today our secondborn got his GCSE results.

Unfortunately I was too shy to do so. I still had the chance to meet some of you during my expeditions. It was lovely. Although I am not directly concerned by this suspicious Baby Boom, I can't imagine what my life would be like today without Sinister. Sometimes it brings a tear to my eye to remember the sad loner and social disaster I was before joining Sinister. Well, I am still as sad and lonely now, but at least I have someone to moan to. You are good listeners. Ten years of red underwear. We are having a picnic together this Saturday. Is it not the same park as seven years ago? Not that I remember how to get there. It's a good thing that the Sweden person has found a roof. London is such a rip-off, and it's all grey and wet. Funnily enough, I will myself be looking for a home on Saturday night. Would anyone have some floorspace and running water for me? I'm a good person, who recently gained some valuable experience in pet-sitting. I will take care of your nasty cats and fat hamsters, entertain them with Murdoch impressions, and feed them carrot halves in the morning and hay at night, or conversely. I will provide recommendation and chocolates if needed. Thanks. Belle and Sebastian moment. The boy with the arab strap was played at the Bowery Ballroom last month, right before the Pelican show, eh. The hairy metal kids around me were not impressed. Well, Grinderman was my first plan for that night, though they were opening for some bigger band at the Madison Square Garden, thus it was a little expensive. Oh well. I saw you. I saw you at the Phoenix some time in June. We heard a lot of Belle and Sebastian there, it was almost embarrassing. You were wearing a white dress and black trousers. You couldn't find much to say to me but it did not matter. You were shy, sweet, and pretty, and kind enough to give me your email address. Now, could you please stop being shy for a moment and write back to me? I am not particularly happy with this confusing post. I must run though. I will try again in a few years. See you on Saturday. x Olivier Strawberryhouse.be +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

A wise man said that once. He also said "drink piss, to cool down your brain", but the less said about that the better. I've probably lost half of you already. Come back - I'm hoping the above will make sense later on. So - I was going to write this in the style of a thank you note, but it was too hard. But thank you, Sinister, for being ten, and for being here, still, after all this time. And thank you Uncle Steve for organising it all, because I guess I took it for granted and didn't really think how much work it must have been until the next day. And thank you sun, for shining, and if you'd like to do some more of that, maybe right after I've finished this mail, that'd be great. So - I'm finding this harder to write than I thought I would, I guess because I've decided not to gimmick it, or try and make it funny. Somehow, there's been this bond over the years, and it can be a strange one, because so much of it is through a computer screen - which means a lot of the time I see an edited you, and you see an edited Ian, and I try and plan the me I present... Can I say something Sinikids? This isn't a come on, well not really, well, p'raps a bit, but... you're far more beautiful in the flesh. Tell you what, there's a park on a hillside, in a little British city...I'll meet you there in ten years time, if they haven't made meeting in parks on hillsides illegal. We can sip tea, nibble on scones, and discuss how much better the last ten years were than the ten years before that. And then, when we're done, you can try and teach me how to cartwheel, because I still won't be able to do it, or you can try and show me how to play football, because I still won't be able to do that either, and I can roll down the hill, because that's pretty easy and anyone can do it, although not ending up on the pavement under people's feet is harder than you'd think. When I look at these reporting back posts, there's always a bit of a thrill when you see your name - it means someone actually cared that you were there - and yet there's also that feeling when you don't, especially when the poster has written a long, long list of names...so, with the state my memory is in, I'm not even going to try that. It was great to see you, all of you: those I'm priveleged enough to call my friends, those I get to know a bit more every time I meet them, and like, but time somehow sort of slips past, those I always seem to upset without really trying, those of you who have just been born and probably won't be reading this and the new friends I made that day, who I hope weren't too pissed off with my drunken ramblings towards the end of the night (I hope you'll stay in touch!). I know a lot of you meet under different auspices these days but for me these kind of events stay really special. This e-mail was meant to be longer, and a different shape, but Birmingham calls, right now. I feel like posting it anyway, incomplete as it is. I'll be back with some ink polaroids later, and I'm going to continue being horribly earnest, because, well, I am horribly earnest underneath it all - but I think, hope, you knew that really, and that, in many ways, you liked that more than the drunken twat who's too pissed to operate a dj-thingy and walks barefoot through dog shit without even realising. Don't get me wrong, that twat has served his purpose, and I'm grateful to him, but its time to let him go now. Far too cryptic, probably, and no comment about diamonds. Hell, start with a twee song quote, don't justify it, just put it there, why not? Come back when you've taken your anti-depressant and try again later. Yep, those polaroids. They're still developing. Some of them are great. I hope we can picnic again soon. If nothing else, I've got some pictures, in my head, to show you. xx Ian +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Today we're all 10 years old, and while I wasn't able to go to the picnic, and admit that I therefore hid from reading all about it a bit to avoid getting sad, I'm SO pleased you had one. And I hope you were socially responsible enough to conceive at least one more Sinister child sometime during the day. Without getting all metaphysical on yo ass, my life's changed fairly radically in the last 3 years, being stuck in the house n all with illness, but it's not all bad. I've learned lots about me, and the people I love most dearly in the world, and a few I lost but still love, still all come from Sinister. Isn't it WEIRD? I started this thing on a bored Wednesday afternoon and thought it might be "fun" for a bit, and here I am 10 years on, hardly ever posting, peeking at you all when I'm not too scared it'll make me sad for what I can't do now, but still with my whole life (for all life is is people, then music) gravitating around that odd little decision on a Wednesday afternoon. Isn't Wednesday usually the day when *nothing happens*? I owe a lot of you a lot of mails, and at some point you have to admit that you probably won't send them all, but it won't stop me trying. I hope those who were waiting 2 years ago will take this as a cheery wave, I'm still here. And Sinister's still here, which is *very* strange. Even the mailing list archive it still squirreled away in a perfumed draw at Miss Honey's Sinister Mansion, and ONE day I'll bring it out, slap it on the web, and receive emails from 40 of you, all of whom were beaming 15 year olds posting your hearts out in 1997, and all of whom are now top-drawer international lawyers and CEOs of major companies, begging me to remove their postings. Which I won't! Because what you were when you were 15 was lovely. And someone will sue me... So, today I'll be on and off in the #sinister chat channel, with auntsadie, if I can wake her up, and if any of you who used to come along to chat remember who she was. The irony is that she remembers all of you and will happily repeat back what you said to her 7 years ago. Auntsadie has a very long memory. It's on the undernet irc network, and you connect to the room #sinister. It's still there! I was reminded of this fact when someone told me a few of you still went. So I'm going back to it right now, to say happy birthday to whoever comes and have my own little picnic. WITH SCONES.

It is the first record by Belle & Sebastian. Some of it sounded callow to me - 'Expectations', for instance. Murdoch' bid to write songs to make wee timorous beasties feel better; was it flawed, was it strained, did it work? I don't know - yet even at those moments I could feel an authority, a sense that it would have worked at the time, for those people, because of some kind of assurance, some kind of faith, in where the voice was coming from. The LP improved. I marvelled at the distant sound of the piled-up guitars of 'You're Just A Baby'; a kind of magic that record has, a conjuring of time, rock authority. I thought of the old ilx thread about 'I Could Be Dreaming', and thought for the nth time of the comic tweeness of its bids for violence. Then I switched it all over to a better stereo. And 'We Rule The School' rustled and breathed - I could hear the air around the microphone, the dust-motes drifting past the piano. It seems a miraculous wee song, as it did in July 1999, when this LP first started making sense to me. 'Wandering Days' was almost a come-down after that, somehow not as fantastic as it was on Steady Mike's gear, in the early hours of 1.1.2000 and provoking me to exclaim about its Bowieisms. 'Mary Jo' seemed almost best of all. I guess I don't need, here, to explain what it sounded like, or why I might have liked it. But when he started singing 'for night to follow day' I could see the shadows and light of the gone years, the sun setting over ATP 2000, the bottles of gin we never finished, the promises some of which we never fulfilled, the ways the time wound up. Some of it all made me want to see Dot To Dot again, at times. Well, maybe not all of Dot to Dot. Garth Crooks reported. Then I went out, and walked the old way alone past Cecil Sharp House, which the wee kids and me among them always used to marvel or chuckle at, its curious proximity to our folksy picnic. The hill was claimed, today, by so many. The picnic in the shade, under trees. Archel handing me a can of stout. Stout giving me his raspberries. Ian A. is correct, really, about naming names - you might always name the wrong ones, or not name enough. A few highlights. The names have been removed to protect the absent. Talking about poetry, with a poet. Talking about Brussels, with a Eurocrat. Talking about our back catalogue with an ageless Joe Meek fan. Talking about long-gone band plans with LA's finest expatriate. I am struggling to remember her slogan - 'Gama Gama Go' / 'Hey Ho / Gama Go'? Maybe it was Rama, or Dhama, or Llama. Oh, yes - talking about writing books, not something I do a lot of really , with a Foxgloves collector. Listening to the Yorkians, the Yorkies, the Jorviks, making their own acoustic soundtrack. Watching the Goth Frank Baron try to take pictures of footballers. Listening to Visitors #1 singing behind a branch. Staying out alive till the last of the sun. An actual request for a solo Lloyd Cole number, no daily happening this. The slow hill down into patient sunset; the smog smudged over the skyline, the gauze cooling the pastel houses. The paving stone where my editor chalked 'Are You Feeling Sinister?' for others to follow in May 1998 . The uncanny menu connaissance of the waiters at King's Cross noodles, the streets feeling darkly metropolitan. Entering the disco to nothing less than 'Wandering Days'. The Studio 54 DJ starting his set with, what less than 'The Boy With The Arab Strap'? The folly of the boos over his hardly premature ending, obscuring the magic of 'Do You Believe In Magic?', the great cry of 2003, 2004. The better quality disco than any other disco I have been to in a while. So good that they then played 'The Boy With The Arab Strap' again. Yes - that good. That reminds me - I got Sylvia Plath to compose this the other day: Here is my honey-machine, It will work without thinking, Opening, in spring, like an industrious virgin To scour the creaming crests As the moon, for its ivory powders, scours the sea. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Moody friends.

I�m so glad that I found you. You make me smile. Just think if I hadn�t found you, this Saturday I wouldn�t have been sat with the sun burning through the long grass, and the pale moon smiling behind us, listening and singing to songs by The Magnetic Fields, and Lloyd Cole and that band beginning with B who brought us together in the first place. If we hadn�t met there wouldn�t have been stories to tell about the time we went to a picnic and there were too many cherries, or stories to tell about the time we stuck a pin a map and took a train north where I turned pink like a lobster (but not pink like a flamingo). I wouldn�t have had biscuits that tasted of cinnamon and nutmeg but actually contained lemon and oats. I wouldn�t have learnt that I could delete messages from gmail threads, which may not change the world or anything like but is one of those small helpful things that makes my life better. And there wouldn�t have been the noodles, and the drinking and the dancing. And strawberry lager � would I have ever discovered strawberry lager if it wasn�t for you? Seeing you on Saturday made me smile. It was like coming back home after travelling the world for one hundred lifetimes. Everything was strange and familiar all in one go. I had so many things to say but when it came down to it none of them really mattered because you were there and nothing had changed. Ok, ok we�re older now and our lives have moved on, but deep down we�re still the same. Deep down there is that little something that binds us together. Maybe if we�re lucky we�ll meet again in another 5 years or another 7 years or maybe if we are even luckier, and I sincerely hope that we will be, maybe it will be sooner. It would be nice to drink and dance and smile with you someday soon. All my love Rachel xx _________________________________________________________________ Got a favourite clothes shop, bar or restaurant?
