From honey at xxx.org Wed May 20 19:04:04 2009 From: honey at xxx.org (honey at xxx.org) Date: Wed, 20 May 2009 19:04:04 +0100 (GMT Daylight Time) Subject: Sinister: Where does this plug go? In-Reply-To: <003001c9c520$c3560670$2101a8c0@IanandJim> References: <003001c9c520$c3560670$2101a8c0@IanandJim> Message-ID: Dearest Bellites, Mum's home! We're going to sit down and eat dinner tonight like real families do, around the kitchen table instead of the tv. So take your coat off and go and lay the table. I have a few things to say. Firstly, I hope the Brummy sinister picnic was fun, whoever went. Was it you? If so, we need to know: (a) Who was drunk (b) Who kissed who (c) Who disapproved Any other details also very welcome, such as unusual footwear. The baying crowds with pitchforks demand answers! Has anyone (not) heard the two God Help The Girl songs/demos floating around by now? The single is very pretty, and swooshes my head back to 1997. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing to say, but I quite liked 1997. Stuart always sounds like Stuart, even when he's not singing. I do wish he'd sing though. Anyway there are some publicity pics kicking around now with Stuart looking quite Michael Caine with girls draped around him. See some recent interviews linked at http://www.godhelpthegirl.com/ and some really dramatic journal entries about Stuart rearranging his sock drawer. Now, I keep hearing rumours that mails are bouncing to Sinister. If you send a mail and it doesn't get through, please mail me! I am Honey, I can fix it (maybe) but I need to know. Poor old Miss Print gets so much spam now about extending her unmentionables that she can't check through every error message, but if you tell her she will take a look! Sinister is a cosy sleepy seaside town now, but I'd just like to make sure it's not sleepier than it should be because I'm an idiot and broke something. I still miss Mrs Murdoch.

Message-ID: <670ea8790905260444j3b5f5760wc7eb0716648b32a4@mail.gmail.com> I second Honey's request for Birmingham news. On that train of thought it would be good to hear about the ATP meet too. We're just two months away from Indietracks fest (http://www.indietracks.co.uk). I'm guessing there's a few Sinisterites past and present who will be going so I wondered if there was any interest in arranging a meet up during the weekend...? There's still tickets available from Ticketweb. I'd start a facebook event but only have three Sinister friends on there and one of those three doesn't do festivals anymore. Besides, it would be nice to generate some list action. I'm not going to Glasto this year unfortunately but I did notice that on the usual Siniglasto slot of Thurs night there is a new stage open with bands on all night which is a bonus. For those of you that do usually imbibe from the Brother's pear cider (perry) bar you should be able to get 2 litre bottles to take with you. I'm glad I've subscribed to the God Help The Girl releases but was a bit miffed when my Come Monday Night 7" single ends abruptly when the song doesn't seem to have finished on both sides. At least it's not warped or scratched like a The Boy Least Likely To release that I purchased. Has anyone got any exciting trips planned? I'm having to defer to next year as I'm waiting to see if I can start back at work.

Personally I am neither married, in a committed relationship, in an uncommitted relationship, in a sitcom, in a shack, standing to reason, getting laid all the time, or near the mark. Isn't Eric also writing a website about computer games? I think he should use sinister to promote that. It's good to hear from droll Kenneth, but his story was a bit repulsive - reminiscent in that respect of a very long post that Tim Hopkins sent in, oh, early 1999 perhaps. Crikey, that is over 10 years ago. I am glad to know that I am finally allowed to post to sinister again, though I don't expect everyone else feels the same way. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

On this occasion, that is not the case. I would say I'm a big believer in spontaneity, but that demands a punchline and I can't think of a spontaneous one. So - Birmingham. Well, it is rumoured that the world actually started in Birmingham. Then it stopped again, and started somewhere else. Eventually, however, one by one, everyone is drawn back, like Elves to a mouldy sandwich. And so, on.... whenever it was... 5th of May, I think... a few of us sought solace and sandwiches in the throbbing heart of our glowing island (err...). Sadly, we couldn't get the train to Grimsby in time, so we met in Birmingham instead. God, I miss sinister. Arguably, it never went away, but still, I miss something that I'm still clinging to, ten years later. How can you miss something and cling to it? That makes fuck all sense... but did you expect it to? Its so nice to see not one but SIX posts. In answer to our list mummy: > So take your > coat off and go and lay the table.

If so, we need to know: > > (a) Who was drunk Rachel > (b) Who kissed who Rachel > (c) Who disapproved Rachel. The rest of us didn't do much, really. Just stood and watched as she weaved her spell of wickedness over the normally zen-like oasis of peace that is Cannon Hill Park. She used to be such a good girl. I blame that Grainne. > Any other details also very welcome, such as unusual footwear. The > baying crowds with pitchforks demand answers! Okay, it wasn't quite like that.. It was just...nice...and multinational. (i.e., we had someone from Ireland, someone sort of from Wales and someone who would live in Scotland if she just moved a few miles further North. And me, and my friend Peter. No, that isn't a euphemism). On one level, a bunch of people sitting in a park - not even a very big bunch. Londonistas would perhaps sneer into their perfectly-mixed cocktails. But, there was something warm, and comforting about it... maybe I'm insecure about my identity, but I often find these events, when they go well, affirm something I didn't realise I needed affirmed. > Has anyone (not) heard the two God Help The Girl songs/demos > floating > around by now?

In fact, I wrote most of it last night, decided it wasn't right at all, and was going to go back and edit it. Apparently that was not to be. Annnywayyyy... Perhaps it wasn't an evil machination of the Spiteful Robot-Beast that is Outlook Express, but a subconscious wish on my part to avoid admitting I've not heard any of Struan's new stuff. This is what comes of trying to be a retro bohemian hippy type and not having a television. I want to try and think of something funny to say about that, but fuck knows there isn't anything. So, onto other things, maybe - Amy said... >We're just two months away from Indietracks fest >(http://www.indietracks.co.uk). I'm guessing there's a few >Sinisterites past and present who will be going so I wondered if >there >was any interest in arranging a meet up during the weekend...? >There's >still tickets available from Ticketweb. And I have to say, I think its a good idea. I know of at least 3 of us that are going and a couple of possibles. It was lovely last year, so if you're vacillating, stop vacillating and come! Is vacillating even a real word? Perhaps I mean "vacuuming". Ken mentioned the ATP PICNIC! Which was GRATE! (ahhh..remember GRATE? use it tomorrow. In a posh meeting. Fuck knows you're all posh now. Yes, I do plan to over-use the word "fuck" in this post. I don't have a current sinister gimmick, so like most people with no imagination I will fucking resort to fucking swearing). Well, okay, it wasn't full-on GRATE, because it was sort of in a sports bar in the middle of a festival, and it disintegrated when Robin went for the LONGEST POO IN THE WORLD and Ken vanished off to go bowling. Robin, I was actually less concerned by your bowel movements than is suggested, and more kind of swept up by the feeling I had all festival, that it was all marvellous, but I just had to BE somewhere and DO something, and couldn't wait for people to defaecate. See... I've probably spelt that wrong. I should have just written "shit". Shit, shit, shit... fuck bugger Anyway, where was I? Yes, it was nice, still, and playing darts was surprisingly fun. Who would have thought it? And hugging Kimya Dawson really was very touching. In a non-sarky, wow-you're-wonderful, this reminds me of the reason I used to like Belle and Sebastian, sort of way. That wasn't part of the picnic, though, but I can only recommend that future picnics do involve bodily contact with rock stars. Ken also talked about getting laid. But then, Ken would. He made a bit of a pun about butt plugs. I want to say something funny about butt plugs, but fuck knows there isn't anything. Why did the butt plug cross the road? Fuck knows. There isn't anything. One side of the road resembles the other. Particularly to a butt-plug It can't see, due to being stuffed up someone's arse. Eric said he was getting laid all the time. Which must make getting on the bus difficult. But then, if you're constantly getting laid, why leave the house? Sod it, that's as good a place to stop writing as anything. I wish you all beautiful sex, or meaningful celibacy.
