Sinister: Sorry
by Neil Hargreaves 13 Oct '97

13 Oct '97

Oops... I just wrote and replied to the Seymour Stein question and just noticed Keith W already had (and much better than I did) so sorry... Oh yeah and the Suede B0Sides album is really good and its interesting how some of the early ones sound quite DogManStaresque even before Dog Man Star if you know what I mean... PS Im pretty sure Belle and Sebastian smoke, they stopped for a fag break at their gig in the QM Union here in Glasgow and Sarah asked the people at the front if we had a light- I'd lost my lighter at the time but ah well never mind. cheers, Neil -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: David & Katrina may soon dissappear for a short while
by David & Katrina 13 Oct '97

Hiya, we're currently having hell with our machine, this is a BIG problem for us as it's our only link to you lot and we're strapped for the cash to fix it. Should our Monitor pack up again, or should we accidentally turn the machine off (now it's on we're trying not to turn it back off!), we'll appear to have deserted you. If anyone is trying to get in touch with us and we appear not to answer, then send your mail to jeepster.uk(a)virgin.net as we may still be able to get it via that. Orders via the on-line thing will still be safe as they are collected via file transer elsewhere. All of the above does not currently apply, but should we dissappear it will. Thanks David & Katrina and the Belle and Sebastian fan Club. -- ******************************************************************** http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/Belleandsebastian.htm mailto:bluesoda@totalweb.co.uk ******************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Have just missed my first lecture due to listening to new EP. I really don't think I'm going to be able to move from my computer(with CD) for this afternoon's lecture. Must withdraw my membership from bored at Uni club. Which was written first Fakers or Elvis ?

Sinister: 3, 6, 9
by Keith Watson 13 Oct '97

13 Oct '97

Fantastic.... Fan - tastic... That's Malcolm McDowell's reaction to a photo of an African Soldier when it's shown to him by his mate in "If...". It's also what I'm thinking about 3, 6, 9 seconds of light. "Put the book back on the shelf" is the only one I don't already know (Well apart from Paul playing it at the Egg a few weeks ago) and it's brilliant to get surprised by yet another superb track. It actually fucked up my tremendous score at Tetris at lunchtime, never mind. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: happy happy...
by Kate Dornan 13 Oct '97

Walked into the Vinyl Exchange today... and what should be playing but the LLPJ CD! It was Photo Jenny at the time... then along comes Elvis and I suddenly forgot all the words- thus losing a chance to recite them all as I flicked through the tapes and show off my innate musical taste and knowledge :) - ah well there's always next time <g> Just a happy little moment in a normal little day... I defend my posting of it with the fact that it's more damn related than some of the stuff you older&wiser people send *smile* Off to rent a video now and finish letters [to two members of this list as it happens!]... keep on lovin', ppl... Oh, and a friend and I listened to a song we wrote ages ago today..........and realised it was *really* B&S... dammit.... talk about pre-empting influences! This happen to anyone else? love Kate xxx "no harm can come to me when i'm in your company" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

One question: who is Seymour Stein? [Keith Watson] Head of Sire Records... Signed Talking Heads, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, The Dead Boys, Madonna, The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, James and so on. Klas... sorry, haven't yet got in touch with Athole, it's proving quite difficult to get his new phone number, I tried this weekend but to no avail. I'm sure I'll find out some time soon. Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: I'm back apologising!

>I've been as busy as the proverbial bee and tracked down an article which, >though probably not definitive, should go a long way to explaining to >non-UK listers what the indie/twee/cutie scene was about. >�Anyway, I've enclosed it as a text file(only 26K) and am sure you'll find >it interesting, even if you're from the UK. Keith Watson tells me that the file was gibberish. It seems that I sent it compressed for the Mac (default setting). Apparently PC users can't read Mac encoded files � not fair since Macs can read PC files. Pesky PCs. Anyway, I've re-sent it Base 64 encoded and uncompressed as plain text. If it's still gibberish please mail me. I still think it's worth a read! Bye, Paul <plaird(a)ndirect.co.uk> "Go to work on an Egg" - The Egg Marketing Board
