by Richard Banner 22 Nov '97

22 Nov '97

B+S on the Radio and TV. ------------------------ Just a couple of points..... 1. In the mail out it was mentioned that B+S 'might' be appearing on 'Later with Jools Holland' on the 29th November(i think, sorry haven't got it at hand)...any concrete info or developments?. 2. Also...on the grape vine people keep talking about 'Evening sessions' on Radio1 and there occurences. Whats happening here then? - are there any up and coming sessions planned or are any going to be repeated?(i've never heard one - so sad) And finally.....gigs are great and all are trying.....but can the list be told of any up and coming: TV appearances or Radio Sessions in general?

Arse. i shall try again. Oh,I know the annoyance of that,alright,my friend loves Kula Shaker very much (please don't hit me!) so I wrote up a questionnaire for Alonza Bevan,maybe there were soem spelling mistakese but all in all it was nice,I even decorated the front cover very 'mystic' style,I had my friend who was attending the concert,throw it on stage and Alonza himself picked it up!Along with soem flowers attached... This was last November,no replies yet! Maybe he didn't like some questions but they were all in good nature,I jsut ask if they ever smack up Crispo a bit,and if he enjoyed it? plus other good questions, Ah! Someone knocking on door..one sec... anyways,yes now I'm here with a phamplet that says 'Will Everyone Ever Love One Another' so I was saying,Alonza's opinion doesn't exactly insult or bother me,but I can just imagine the ridicule from Stuart..feel the wrath of Belle and Sebastian... Jacobnites,who are they..oh has anyone heard of a group called Rootjoose? love and posion, Genevieve :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I seem to be getting many of the posts 2 and three times -- is anyone else experiencing this, or is it just AOL screwing up as they so often do? I had a post returned for "too many hops" (great to picture my message jumping merrily across the Atlantic with wings on its feet! -- only to land with a splash and sink out of sight right off the coast. All for the better as it was written at a very late hour after Chinese food and sake with old friends and I really can't remember what I might have said in it), and seem to have missed a chunk of postings mid-week. Very jealous of all those who will be going to the Manchester shows!! Please bring back many many "cyber polaroids" to share... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Multiple mailings (again)
by Paul Mitchell 22 Nov '97

22 Nov '97

Oh Gawd. Looks like I didn't solve the multiple mailing problem yesterday did I? But top-notch detective Andreas has come up with an idea and I'm trying it - this mail as an apology but also as a test. I tried about 3 things yesterday in an attempt to stop it. It looks like my mistake was assuming I am to blame - it might be a new subscriber to the list with such a badly configured mail program that it's bouncing back repeatedly. I've removed the suspect and mailed her/him. This doesn't mean the older messages won't still bounce a bit - I haven't got any control about what the brain-damaged program is doing - so PLEASE BE PATIENT! If it's any consolation, I, as list-owner, have received many hundreds of bounce admin messages from your mail servers worldwide. But that's my job. So apologies - bear with me! - and don't leave the list in exasperation if you can help it! I'll be mailing the people who unsubscribed in the last 24 hours as Andreas the Hero suggested if this attempt cracks the problem. Sorry again, Cilla ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Also, doesn't it really piss you off when if you so much as hint that you might find ppl of your own sex attractive, everyone immediately assumes you're going to jump on them personally and have your evil way with them?

Re: Sinister: Gay Stu

In a message dated 97-11-21 01:56:35 EST, you write: > Lastly. Is Stuart Murdoch gay? Just being curious thats > > all, nothing funny, but > > is he? > > > > Most of the time he sounds quite miserable, but there is the > odd outbreak of gaiety from time to time. > Years and years ago, we referred to a homosexual friend as "gay" in front of my grandmother, who apparently filed that piece of updated vocabulary away. After an outing of the church ladies (to a winery!?), she told us how all the other women were discussing the trip and kept saying it had been "such a gay day!" Gram was quite pleased with herself for knowing the "new" meaning of the word, and had chuckled to herself all the way home. Of course, Gram used to refer to her new neighbor as "a hanger." It took us quite a while to figure out that she meant "hooker" -- and she was embarrassed to learn what it meant... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I'm speaking very >generally of course, but it's kind of sad. Yes! WHy cannot some of these boys just admit thnigs!And why do they love lesbians so much? It confuses!They beg me to kiss another girl while they watch or to do catfight! Why? If you ask them to do the same with another guy they scream in fear,then they tell me I 'don't understand'.What is there to understand! They make no sense! Anyways,oh I'm so envious of you attending shows! Have Belle and Sebastian ever played North America? I will wish and wish and wish that they will come here and perhaps it will become true then. And on bloke depression,that is sweet the boy who said what about girl depression! That you take solace in Belle and Sebastian....if only I had a bloke who loved Belle and Sebastian to BE depressed about.Beautiful blue-eyed boy working at record store doesn't count either...(such a dream fro me! *sniff sniff** Besides,he scare me veyr much today,my ears are used to going in and hearing lovely music,today I went in to hear the sounds of a million dying cats,it made me laugh! (But I didn't want to offend so I tried to cover my smile,that is hard is't it..trying not to laugh) That's all I suppose,since I am so so so faw away from ever seeing any of these gigs,you lovely people will opst about the experience,please?

"...Take care, T.C.B." As in "taking care of business." As in Elvis's personal motto/belt-buckle, just to bring this back to something vaguely "Century Of Elvis"-related.

Sinister: just a coupla' things
by susannah 21 Nov '97

Cheers for the mail out David and Katrina. However, Sarah's contribution has now really put me off writing to the band, as from the sounds of it they all sit round and take the piss out of everyone's letters !!!! Is it only me who thinks that Stuart Murdoch is singing Le Pastie de La Borgeoisie in the 'club style'. Overseas readers you won't get that one, so don't worry. Lastly. Is Stuart Murdoch gay? Just being curious thats all, nothing funny, but is he? susannah(a)tormentor.clara.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: 13th Note

Mike Appelstein wrote ... >It's either Sauchiehall Street or Glassford Street, I believe One of >the two, definitely. It's near that big park in the middle of Glasgow, >I know that much. Granted, I was only there once, and it was dark and I >left the directions to my Glaswegian companions... Pretty amusing, several Glaswegians on this list and the only directions are given by foreigners ... since the 13th Note still seems to enjoy its former location, here is some more information ... Mike already mentioned _Glassford_ Street, should be number 80 (corner pub, side street is named Garth Street, as far as I remember). Travelling by bus to demonstrate your genuine enthusiasm, you should get off at Buchanan Bus Station and spend a few quids on the cab (alternatively, purchase a streetfinder or meet up with a volunteering Glaswegian listee, only ten minutes walk). Travelling by train you should get off at either Central Station or Queen Station (ten and five minutes walk respectively). Travelling by car, you should leave the M8 for the Royal Infirmary heading towards the centre, drive along Castle Street followed by High Street, cross George Street / Duke Street, leave the third street on your right named Ingram Street (nah ... not Geoffrey Ingram) and the fifth on the left will be Glassford Street, the 13th Note is located at the first corner to your left hand. Generally speaking, the 13th Note is near the well known George Square, the University of Strathclyde is pretty close as well, but the big park Mike was writing about would be the more distant Glasgow Green ... unless you've crossed the Necropolis that night, an ancient cemetary. §:^D Besides, make sure to organize some tickets immediately, since the 13th Note is a pretty tiny club ...
