Sinister: Chart Position
by David & Katrina 19 Oct '97

19 Oct '97

Well the news is that they reached no' 32 in the Official UK Chart, pretty good going, but I can't help feel that they deserved more. Not sure what this means for Top Of The Pops, I suppose we'll have to wait 'till Monday to discover that.

Sinister: Greenock-nock! Who was there?
by P. Miller / A. Ubieta 19 Oct '97

19 Oct '97

Stephen BMX Bandit and Duglas BMX Pastel are the evil filth barons behind the indie-pop smut peddling ring operating out of a top floor flat on Oakfield Avenue. What other excuse could there be for six-foot adult men to dress up as Andy Pandy and Noddy, other than to lure innocent anorak wearers into their web of intrigue and iniquity? Their continued musical activities exist to provide a front for their porn-laundering business. Stuart Murdoch's reference to "friends" in his article suggests that it may already be too late for him to escape their clutches. Isobel Campbell is in grave danger. Previous cello collaborators on Pastels LPs have ended up as brain washed acid casualties living in squalid, toy-filled attics surrounded by fellow loonies. Cared for by Australian social workers, they spend their days debating the merits of various Monkees and Hawkwind CD reissues.

Sinister: Beautiful chords for all you beautiful B+S fans
by Skreddy56＠aol.com 19 Oct '97

19 Oct '97

I was at the sheet music site, and the song "beautiful" was missing, so I figured it out because everyone seems to like it so much. It's also a bit of penance for my decidedly non-"indie-rocker-cool" actions of late (I'm not getting into it right now). Anyway, the song stays in the 5th position and below the whole song except for the part from "And talk to her..." to "...Radio 4", where it is played from the 5th to 9th positions. I hope it's accurate, as I don't know how well my guitar tuner was working. *************************************** Beautiful Transcribed by M. R. Waggner Exploit this to your best ability.

I am SO overwhelmed in bloke depression there ain't enough port in the states to sail this ship.....Belle & Sebastian (along with a little rain) seem to make it worse and better all at once....Like soaking in it or something....A bit of brie wouldn't hurt neither. *sigh* beth What about us poor men? I'm am in serious GIRL depression at the moment and I find Gin & Tonic with Belle & Sebastian to be a much better comfort than port (will have to go buy doughnuts tomorrow). You are definitely right, music is a great thing to take solace in, it's not about how old or young you are but what you feel inside, a sort of externalization of your mental state. Why would it be otherwise that Beth (and myself) both feel better and worse for listening? I guess what ppl get from music is always a personal thing but that it has an effect is the important thing no matter what your age (even if you listen to Chris de Burgh on an expensive hi-fi). I don't really know why I wrote this it just felt necessary??? help I've lost it now dan xxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: totp
by Chris Worth 18 Oct '97

Seriously, I cannot see Belle and Sebastian ever going on TOTP, but then I'm probably wrong. I think you're all getting yourselves excited about something which will never happen, but then I am an eternal pessimist!

We get mid-weeks everyday now for some reason, and even though 25 looks good, the position was 17 for Monday's sales and 22 for Tuesday's. Basically, anyone who hasn't bought the single, and wants to, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do so before sales end on Saturday, as if we can get it inside the Top 30, it seems pretty definite that B&S will be on TOTP next Friday evening. I'm so f***ing excited!!! I just spoke to Isobel, and she was pretty excited too, so let's hope this one does it. She said that she doesn't watch TOTP anymore, because there's never any bands on it that she likes. But she said that if she wasn't in B&S, and she was watching TOTP when they came on, that she would love to find out more, and fall in love with them. For them to be on would definitely restore my faith in the music industry ... can you imagine the number of people who have never heard of this band and are (well, may be) going to see them on National TV? I've always said that B&S are a band that you need to hear to fall in love with them ... HOW EXCITING! ok, i'll stop dribbling now! Thanks to everyone for your support ... I know the band appreciate it. Cheers, Katrina. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Stuart's Pastels thing...
by 95516123＠csunt2.napier.ac.uk 17 Oct '97

17 Oct '97

Dear all, Here is the article which Stuart wrote and whic accompanied the press release for the Pastels' latest album, 'Illumination'. The Archdeacon of Pop start of article About the Pastels When I was a boy and when Stephen was a boy too, my friends and I went to Greenock to see the Pastels play. I was drawn to all the Shambly people I saw around, even though I was quite sporty. They knocked about Hillhead and listened to strange music. I had a notion that the Patels were king of this strange music but I don't know why. Four of us went to Greenock, to the Subterraneans club. "Who's this?" "The Go-Betweens." "Who does this one?" "I think it's Sonic Youth." The Pastels came on. People took quite a few steps forward. They embraced the punky sound, they listened to the tender words. The possibilities seemed endless. I am still shocked to remember Aggi's shriek of "Up for a bit!". I'm glad she did it though. On the way out there was a crush, and through the crowd came Stephen in his dufflecoat. The more sweaty boys tried to clap him on the back. "Goan yersel Stephen". We went home and I got their LP the next week. I was shocked and delighted when I heard it. Nothing much has changed, even though that was ages ago. They're still punk, and the songs are just as tender. But they are still learning about music. Every unexpected sound and note in their new record sounds like a fresh discovery. And who else manages to pull that off every time? Nobody. That's why they are the kings. Stuart, Belle and Sebastian. end of article. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
