Sinister: A Century of Quakers
by robin stout 22 Jun '04

22 Jun '04

Sinisterines: I met a Quaker once. I was sitting under the vicar's sycamore tree and he came out of the kitchen with some biscuits and offered one to me. I remember I was quite shocked that he was such friends with the vicar but didn't believe in God. He didn't seem to believe in much, really, just quaking and biscuits. It must have made a lot of crumbs. I waited in on Saturday morning for a friend to come round, so had the chance to listen to Belle and Sebastian on Jonathan Ross. He asked them a question, in his wubber-lipped way, about why on earth their album titles are so long. The gang seemed a little offended. Stuart said that their label tells them the same thing - they could be so much more famous if their song titles were a little more snappy. Stuart was quite snappy himself, actually. He really is prickly at times. My friend arrived late, so I didn't have to make excuses for being in on a sunny day. I could hardly have told him the reason why. Marauding Murdoch was around on Sunday, too, in the Observer listing his ten best British albums. It was quite pleasing to see that only three of the albums he chose made it into their Top 100 British Albums (http://observer.guardian.co.uk/omm/story/0,13887,1241254,00.html) as the whole thing was a pretty dull and predictible exercise. The Britannia music club catalogue has more surprises in it. For those who are interested, here is his list. I'm glad to see that the West Midlands are well represented: 1. Poem Of The River / Felt 2. Victorialand / Cocteau Twins 3. Forever Breathes The Lonely Word / Felt 4. You Can't Hide Your Love Forever / Orange Juice 5. London Calling / The Clash 6. The Smiths / The Smiths 7. The Specials / The Specials 8. Y / The Pop Group 9. The Raincoats / The Raincoats 10. Colossal Youth / Young Marble Giants I wonder if those bands ever had arguments about how long their album titles should be. Has anyone bought the new single yet? Reviews please!!

Astrid! I was at HDIFTBL! But I didn't see you! Or I may have seen you but I didn't know what you looked like! Oops! Are you still in london?? Ken -----Original Message----- From: Astrid Wiezell [mailto:dearpaperclip@hotmail.com] Sent: 12 June 2004 18:46 To: sinister(a)missprint.org Subject: Sinister: Calling All Londoners!! Come and meet me at How Does It Feel To Be Loved? on June 18th. If you feel like it, since meeting Ian was so very nice (and he wrote such nice things about me in the weblog - I am blushing! - I want to meet as many of you as possible) I will be the giggly six foot brunette who will be speaking Swedish with her tiny (she is a lot shorter) brunette sister and other people. I think I will be quite hard to miss. Also, I am in the mix cd for the site www.blandband.nu, called blandband.nu vol 1 - songs for a trade. It really is quite exciting to have your band on a CD with other people who make great music, ih! Yes, it was one of Kat's first proper appearances. Also, look out for Martin Gordon's CD Hogwash (?) since me and Amanda sing back-up on the track Fuss Me. I was told there is a weird filter over our voices though, I have nto heard it myself. But it will be interesting none the less and it was a fun experience! ANyways, must now go and socialize with my friends, see you Friday hopefully I am looking forward to going to England so much I could DIE! Well, I won't, hopefully, but it will be pretty damn nice I tell you! Take care, love Astrid Ps. Also have now started writing my first proper novel. Might be any out of maybe five different starts.

Sinister: the end of kittenmouse...?
by Andrea Kittenmouse 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

Hi, It's been a long time since I've written, and I'm sorry about that. I've been really busy with other things all this year. I got a job at the famous Powell's City of Books last summer and I just quit last week. It was great fun, and a great discount. A million books. Lots of crazy people. I saw Dale from the Melvins in the store once. You really couldn't miss him, with his huge hair. Supposedly Todd Haynes shops there too, but I never saw him. Anyway, that leads me to the point of my email: the reason I quit my job is that I'm moving to New York in a week or so to go to library school, and Kittenmouse Radio is ending. Or at least, put on hiatus until I find a new radio station in NYC. I'll be on the air tomorrow evening, and next Monday, and then that's it. That's the end. Look for me on the air sometime in the next year or so at WFMU, maybe. I'll keep you all posted on the details. Yours, Andrea andrea**kittenmouse radio*mondays 9-10 pm PST kpsu 1450 am in portland, oregon in realaudio at www.kpsu.org kittenmouse(a)hotmail.com web.pdx.edu/~andreay _________________________________________________________________ MSN Movies - Trailers, showtimes, DVD's, and the latest news from Hollywood! http://movies.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200509ave/direct/01/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: obscurity knocks, the Feelies and the day Fabricio died....
by Samiam Green Eggs And Ham 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

Haven't written in a while, but a few things are on my mind. First, what is the second chord in Bigmouth Strikes Again? The ones on the popular guitar tabs are wrong (C#M, E, F#), it just doesn't sound right (but I can't figure out what it is). I was watching a Franz Ferdinand interview while strumming when I suddently bumped into C#M with exactly the write tempo, when I realized it was a smiths chord and now my dilemma. It's stunning to me that Franz Ferdinand's popularity has surged in the states. Apparently they are slated to appear (or already have appeared) on Pepsi's Smash American show, which is a pure spectacle of shite. I have a feeling that popular"indie" music as we know it will be the next genre to blow up huge in the states. Suddenly during the past year or so, American networks like the WB and Fox have been playing bands like Death Cab constantly during the backrounds of shows. I scored the Feelies first CD two weeks ago -- I couldn't believe it, i've been looking for it for two years -- it's very hard to find. Anyway, if you have not heard these guys, I highly urge you to track them down -- they are the missing link between Velvet Underground/Television and the Smiths/REM and other post-punk. I won a Television CD from our local station a year ago and I liked the CDs and since then i've been trying to buy other highly influential obscure bands. There's record label website somewhere that has MP3 samples. Is it me or is the singer from the Darkness look just like Frampton from Frampton comes alive? I was stunned the other day when shopping for CDs, i ran across a Frampton cover and I initially thought it was a Darkness CD till i saw the title. Just caught me off gaurd. The aforementioned Feelies CD that I found the other day caught my attention because I thought it was Weezer's debut album -- they looked almost identical. I heard Beulah's breaking up, but they're playing a free show in NYC in August in case anyone's interested. I may go, but i'm first looking forward to seeing Franz Sunday in DC.

Sinister: I was made to love scotland
by Stefano Santabarbara 18 Jun '04

18 Jun '04

Dear Sinister and sinistrines This week has flown away! I guess this is just an excuse, as I am trying to find an excuse to secular and pseudosecular intrinsic laziness. well, anyway, I should have realised by now that the better plans are the unplanned one. In fact, everything started out on last Friday night, after myself and the lovely Mr. Jim Pourpletrousers went to the Magnetic Field in Hammermith. The gig has been absolutely excellent, they played a full acoustic set, in two parts, featuring most (if not all) the songs from the last records and highlights from their back catalogue. I have to admit I didn't have their new album, but was so enthusiastic that I got it almost straight away after that, and there are al least a handful of song which are definitely great. I got the feeling that Stephen Merrith sense of humour is getting sharper and sharper, but, might be is only an impression of mine, not as bitter as it use to be. It reflect quite a lot on the stage performance as everyone looked very relaxed and they looked like enjoying their selves as well, which is always nice to see. Anyway, right on my way home, I realised I had my change of tube line was right a train station, and I couldn't resist all the sensible thoughts about those letters the bank sends to your address and that they call account balance, and just, essentially run, but that was not to let the last service leave the platform without myself, not that it would have mind, but, I would have reasonably had, and got myself a ticket for Glasgow. There should be something magic about Scotland that I can't define. It can be the endless sunlight in the summer. It can be the Clyde. Can be the fact that there are kids running on the top of the walls of castles and you can spot them from the train window. Well, there should be a reason or not. But doesn't matter. By midday I was happily in the botanical garden. The day has been absolutely brilliant and shiny. So much that I almost got a tan! Not that I am really interested in that, but when I said that to one of my colleagues, Chris who's from Edinburgh, he looked at my in disbelief, and probably he still honestly think, I've actually skived work on Monday because of a drink binge on the coast or on a Greek island but, let's try to add some content to this randomness. Belle and Sebastian were absolutely great, I think. Might be I'm just letting myself being influence by the rather rare wave of good mood, but not, I think it was very good. Actually, at present, can't wait for the Sommerset House gig which is JUST in a few weeks but looks like an endless time. Miss Ellebelle had a call for a picnic on the occasion: it seems more then reasonable to me, have to say. What a better opportunity for having enjoying the sun with the people in the park? Going back to the gig, I not very good at remembering the song list, and haven't put enough effort to collect one from the sound guys (that by the way, were a lot!) so more or less randomly, they played quite a few from the last record, as obvious, but also a good selection of oldies favourite, including, as far as I can remember, Julie and the dream of horses, the stars of track and field, like Dylan in the movies and dogs on wheels, which was my favourite act, by the way, together with lazy lane painter Jane, when Monica Queen also joined on stage: brilliant! They also looked extremely relaxed even when a football carrying the Brazilian flag colours has start to bounce over the stage, a few times, and particularly when an idiot decided to throw a bottle of water at the band. By the way Steve exhibit in a "superbowl-like" kick of the aforementioned football which could have valued him a convocation for next Scotland international: nice. Camera Obscura played a rather short set, but it was very lovely. Of the bands playing in the early afternoon I have to say I quite enjoyed the red bed society, while I was quite happy of being entangled in possibly the longest queue ever for a toilet, when a band, of which I can't remember the name, but who definitely looked like and sound much like INXS were on stage. Especially the guy wearing a suit, with a white tie, in that hot, needs some sort of compensation from a human right found or something like that I also try to pretend I knew where to go in Glasgow, and off course got lost, and dragged the shameless Mark Hester with me, in a useless walk to Kelvinhall tube station, when we should have actually walked to Kelvin bridge. The advantage of having a single circular tube line is that you can to the place you need rather quickly anyway and that was the Winchester Club. The flower power were fairly entertaining, Pipas definitely excessively shambling guess they needed a DJ in between one song and another, possibly the pause being longer then the song their selves which wouldn't have been that bad otherwise I probably need a little bit more of patience. The club was packed and the DJ choices excellent, I can't remember a great deal, but me and Patrick dancing (alone) on the Clash, was fairly funny! Then it became the hotter spot on the planet, but that didn't keep people away from the dance floor, until the lady on the door almost literally shuffled them off the place. Shame I can't really take a train to Glasgow all weeks mumble! Gigs gigs gigs! I might imagine some living in London of might like to know that Sodasteam are playing Friday, which is tonight, at the Sheppard's bush hall... I know... I planned to write this on Monday, but then I should have known myself better. I didn't mean to clash with Astrid meet up at how does it feel, but just, you know, I think they are absolutely lovely and the concert generally finishes early enough that one can get to both places talking about being sensible: not really. I like the colon today. Only in its grammatical point of view. I suppose.

Sinister: on the radio
by stacey dahling 17 Jun '04

17 Jun '04

I tend not to listen to the radio anymore... why bother eh? ...but while driving home from a painfully late community council meeting (at which they debated curbside rubbish collection for 45 minutes and the placement of the town flag for at least 20 more) I popped on Radio One and who knew they had a Scottish indie show on Thursday nights eh? Well, probably everyone but me, but that's besides the point. They have a B&S competition going on just now, and will be featuring highlights from this past weekend's botanic gardens gig on next week's show. So there you go. Don't tell me I don't do anything for y'all. I'll even provide you with a handy link. Check it out if you want a set of books to wrap yourself in - hand selected by the stumeister himself. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/scotland/ Yup. I was at the botanics gig. I bet loads of sinisterenes were, I just couldn't be arsed to search them out, as it was PACKED. What an odd crowd too eh? The highlight of the day had to be getting chatted up by a 41-year-old Ned who wanted to know more about this great band called Belle and Sebastian. He stunk of beer and was a bit scary but ended up being surprisingly sweet and harmless. "I bought their first album, what's it called, Boy with the Arab Strap? The green one? You know? Well, I like it and all and tell me more. Are they good? I mean, I think they're good but I notice you've been singing along so you must know about them right?" Aww. Bless. Afterwards, we (me and my crew, not me and scary old Ned) - and about half of the Bowlie kids too it seems - swung by the Woodside for more great sounds, and sweaty dancing. Very sweaty. Ick. I made a new friend there too, the most adorable Japanese boy whose name I can't remember and couldn't spell even if I did. I've been seeing him at loads of gigs around town and finally introduced myself. And we danced. Awww. I bet he's on here. Hello there sweetie. Did any of you go to the official aftershow thing? Do tell about it. I'm curious. That's about all I have to report, really. I'm back up in the middle of nowhere north-east Scotland, twiddling my thumbs and watching too much TV and biding my time until my next foray down south... and SLOVENIA! Woo! Holiday! Gosh I'm dull. Hope y'all are better. And apologies for being incommunicado fo so long. I wish I could say it's because I've been too busy but we all know that's not true. I'm just lazy. And bored. Someone tell me a story. *hugs and cuddles and peanut butter* dahling _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: RE: Don't Say I Never Report You Nothing Back: Islington Academy 15/06/04
by David Moore 16 Jun '04

16 Jun '04

Hi All, That's a long time between B&S gigs, Peter. Were you just waiting for another free one to come along? We (Sally, Lixi & I) enjoyed it grately too. Two top gigs in 4 days, blimey. Thanks to the band, er, xfm, & er er, J@meson Wh1skey I guess. Stuart even had a fag on stage. Shocking. Thanks also to the person repeatedly bellowing for 'String Bean Jean', which is normally a real drag, but which resulted last night in them playing the song, which is probably my absolute favourite of theirs. Hot librarians in the 'Wrapped Up In Books' video here: http://www.xfm.co.uk/Article.asp?id=27910 . The girl in the photo on that page has beautiful eyes. Maybe the lop sided fringe helps, I dunno. The Carling Academy is also one of those places that make you throw away a bottle of water from your bag on the way in so that they can charge you £2.20 for a 500 ml bottle once inside. Bloody London, eh. Exile on Main St was recorded in the Villa Nellcote, Villefranche-sur-mer. I know what you mean. I once had a 'Keith Don't Go (To Toronto)' T shirt.

Perhaps you read them too. Well, > Islington Carling Academy charged me seven pounds fifty for a pint and a > half of lager shandy. > > Here are my thoughts on B&S 2004 compared to B&S 1997, the last time I saw them: > > No Isobel - I was shocked and surprised to discover that I missed her. I > think Mick was wearing the very same pair of golf trousers as in 1997. > Couldn't really see Richard or Chris. Sarah played about fifteen > instruments. Stevie did an uncanny Bob Dylan impersonation. The funny bits > were mostly funny. There was quite an extended ramble about Stuart's head > turning into the transit of Venus because one of the lights was yellow. I > thought the new songs were much better than the old songs.
