Sinister: DIGEST LENGTHS
by Paul Mitchell 05 Nov '97

05 Nov '97

Had a few people commenting that their mailboxes are being swamped by all you enthusiastic mailers this week and some are even leaving us! Shame, but just to remind people that if they can't cope they can subscribe instead to the "digest" version of the list: single mail messages with multiple postings to the list - details on the WWW page. I also asked for comments on digest length: well not many people commented and reaction was mixed, but on balance I've decided the majority want smaller, more frequent digests. I've therefore asked my list to generate digests every 1200 lines, approximately 20 messages as a balance to try. Please let me know what you think, either by mailing me direct or (preferably) using the Comments form on my WWW page. And please tell me if the digest doesn't appear to be doing what it's told as I may not notice. It's probably also worth asking people to post a little more stuff a little less frequently, but I wouldn't dare as I'm as guilty as anyone just know - posting all sorts of rubbish to keep myself amused while I get well. Sorry! I will try to lay off a bit. But I think if people want to tell us where they are and what they do - well you're welcome but tack it on the end of something B&S-ish next time you post. OK?

None

> what's everyone's claim to fame? 1.) I think I've boasted about this on the maillist before. My girlfriend's dad and uncle are best mates with Irvine Welsh. So, I get invited to any parties he has when he is in Edinburgh. He's signed all my books, and he introduced me to Ewan McGregor at the Trainspotting film premiere. 2.) Unfortunately, I met the entire Glasgow Rangers squad a couple of weeks ago in the Caledonian Hotel, Edinburgh. My drunken girlfriend insisted on slaging them all off. Except for Negri, who chatted her up. 3.) I saw that singer bloke 'Fish' in Victoria Street years ago. A mate I was with shouted "Oy, Fishy... your shite!". Unsurprisingly, he wasn't very pleased. All for now.... John. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

3.) I saw that singer bloke 'Fish' in Victoria Street years ago. A mate I was with shouted "Oy, Fishy... your shite!". Unsurprisingly, he wasn't very pleased. [Keith Watson] Oddly enough, my ex-flatmate met Fish on Victoria Street a few years ago too, he said "Oh... it's Fish, Hello" and Fish said "Fuck off". Fish - oh well... more cock fun again!

Sinister: Some Canadian stuff (I think).
by ben ferneyhough 05 Nov '97

05 Nov '97

A Friend in Canada just sent me this, thought it might be of (some) interest... >From Alternative Press: When Scottish folk-pop sensation Belle And Sebastian made its maiden voyage to our shores last month for CMJ in New York, the group requested that its performance take place in a 150-year-old cathedral. Church services at the cathedral are still presumably free, but rumor has it that use of God's quarters for that September evening of mellow melodies enhanced by fellow Scots the Pastels cost the band $10,000. Though the band no longer has a record label (since the decline of The Enclave), sources say Belle And Sebastian are hoping to line up cathedrals for a tour of the U.S., when and if that ever happens. It seems likely that Matador is going to pick them up, but whether or not the New York-based label helps put the band up in cathedrals remains to be seen. =========================================================== Seems like they must be making quite a bit if they can really afford $10,000 for a concert !! How many poeple claim to have Tigermilk so far then ? It seems it's beyond 1000 by now. Ben. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
