I was going to do this like the Daily Mail Weekender, but I decided to refrain. Name: Christopher Alexander Leonard Age: 21 2/3 From: Balfron, the village of weeping. In the olden days the hills that Balfron sits by, the Campsies, were populated with wolfs. One day the men of the village went to the next village for kareoke or something. The wolfs came down and ate all the woman and children ha ha. Hence the village of Weeping. It is located 20 miles north of Glasgow. Unde Salus Mea. Job: computer programmer. And ninja. And Astronaut(y). That is all. Christopher Leonard (Cohen) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Anyone else see 'Hardbody' live a few years back? I saw them at Brighton and thought they were great - my first experience of a Belle and Sebastian person - wow... and I never knew it. Didn't hear much from them after that though. You learn something new every day... that's what makes every day special [Keith Watson] Hardbody haven't been dropped per se - it's just that Sony have dumped all the people in the band who are male. Their LP is still going to be released under that name, it's just that Louise remains the only member signed to Sony. Incidentally they've got two singles still kicking about, "On Your Own" and "Hazel's Hob" - which are both good. Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

None

hely gorgeous, I've had an incredibly bad day so you will hae to excuse me but I've been out drowning my woeful sorrows and watching heaps of Billy Connolly in the pub. May Ijust state here my boss is an absolut jem as are the regulars as I haven't actually paid a penny towards the state I am in!! Anyhow I thought I would ask if anyone has heard of "Whiteout" and for your views on them, just for a laugh, because I'm going home at the weekend and I am so sick of them having their head up their own arses and I reckon that they need a good kick up the arse, and I'm sure McD would appreciate any input from the listeners. By the way the computer next to me has to have the best screensaver, some 'cyberkitten' can't quite decide whether or not too chase a ball of yarn -no wait it's sleeping now-, oops,it's going aliitle insane with it's mad dashing around, oh, it's contemplating the pounce, anyway, I think I'll sit and watch this kitten on acid for a while, take care. love and hugs, Laura :) xxx P.S. the majority of you have probably seen B&S live, would it be posible to hear a few stories as I doubt very much I will ever get to see them as I hae a real problem with crowds. Maybe one day I will get lucky and overcome it, it would be worth it to see the band just once in the flesh. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Snow Patrol
by ten seconds to midnight 04 Nov '97

04 Nov '97

Hi. Just in case anyone wants to know, Snow Patrol played here in Belfast last Friday. However I missed them as I though they were on on Saturday. Doh! And they've got a track on the fairly poor quality v/a cd 'belFEST '97' (17 bands! only 99p! which I suppose you can't really complain about, really.) called 'my last girlfriend'. So there you go. clv. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: On the trail of Tigermilk....
by susannah 04 Nov '97

04 Nov '97

So, after getting more obsessed with Belle&Sebastian as each day passes I decided to try and track down a copy of Tigermilk.. I mean (I asked myself) How hard can it really be? I live in London with a whole plethora of record shops, I'll find a dusty old copy somewhere no problem. 1.30 pm Berwick Street ,Soho If you can't find a record on Berwick Street where can you? Just been paid, money burning a hole in my pocket, don't care how much the thing costs.. First stop , Reckless Records: Second hand exchange emporium . Start browsing through 'B', hopes are high at this point, but nothing apart from Blondie and Bauhaus, so I check out the 'Rarities ' and picture discs on the wall, but no luck. Finally ask the guy behind the counter to check on the computer, he takes a few minutes and then says" yeh, Tigermilk..?" My eyes light up for a second, until he adds "we last had a copy in August 1996" and how much?? "£4.99" Blimey !! 2.15pm Enter Selectadisc. Come across 12"s of LLPJ and Dog on Wheels. Remember that Dog on Wheels is now deleted on Vinyl, and I only have it on CD, so stick that under my arm (I'm sad like that) and wonder off to look at the back catalogue section. Spend half an hour looking through badly produced fanzines and finally leave with The Sundays new album, Dog on Wheels and something else.... oh yeh, the Beatles White album complete with lyric/poster sheet and posters of the fab four. 3.15pm Right, this is where things get serious. Sister Ray Records. March up straight away to the counter and declare "do you have , or have ever had (and here comes the clever bit) OR KNOW ANYWHERE I CAN GET a copy of Tigermilk by Belle&Sebastian?????? The friendly and helpful assistant takes to his computer..... and returns to the counter to declare: " Six months ago we had one, but it will cost you....£40" So we're getting nearer! Six months ago now, but the price has gone up tenfold too. Pay for She hangs brightly by Mazzy Star at £6.99 (pleased about that one) and move on 4.15pm Grubby old second hand shop where you get black fingers from fingering the racks. No Belle&Sebastian whatsoever but the assistant offers to ring round a whole host of second hand shops in London on my behalf. I thumb through the seven inchers while waiting (for what seems like hours) but don't find anything of interest... He gets back to me to inform me that he knew of one sold ONLY three months ago for £75 *gulp* but since then the price has been escalating out of control, and you can get a holiday in the South of France for less! Spend Two whole pounds and fifty pence on New Order Peel sessions and decide to call it a day. But I'm not finished yet.

Sinister: Questions ,questions and begrudged answers
by Ian MacDonald 03 Nov '97

03 Nov '97

I hereby lay claim to being the dullest invidual on this list. I am a 28 year old statistician with aspirations to becoming a financial analyst. I do not have Tigermilk but thanks to the Nytol I do not lose much sleep over this fact. In my defence , I do occasionally wear a baseball cap (backwards of course) and am a staunch ally of S.A.D. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: wonder
by faeiry＠dircon.co.uk 03 Nov '97

03 Nov '97

how is it that belle and sebastian have this wonderful way of just completely cheering one up? i put on if you're feeling sinster and i just all of a sudden became one of the jolliest people for a while. i spent all easter listening to it, and it just made me SO happy.... i thought you might just like to know that... doubt it actually as none of you know me, but anyhow. anyone else suffer from this inexplainable feeling of cheeriness and self contentedness somehow when ever any song by belle and sebastian comes on.... no? oh well.. i guess i must be kinda funny then. oh well, Alan Partridge beckons with open arms for me this evening. oh, incedentally... i have a friend, well, i know someone who is practically identical to Alan Partridge. he makes me laugh a lot. *s* he's off at university at the moment, being all knowledgable about medicine, which somehow ruins the alan partridge connection.. but. you know.

Sinister: kissing just for practise
by Sarah 03 Nov '97

Hey people you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey people (clap clap clap) hey people (clap clap clap)!!! Hi. thanks for the poem al! I got it after my bus hadn't come in the morning and it cheered me up! OK-some stuff for you: The line from JAMRS runs- "we're four boys in our courdoroys" (sarahs really chuffed she knows something!) To Susanna, hi me dear, bollocks. I was thinking I'm the youngest on the list-I'm 16, but doing A-levels. Nooo-it's a sixth former arsehole....please don't run away, I'm one of the nicer ones! honestly...! And yup, I be the only one round my way who has heard of B&S. Well, no, I have told people about them, but I know no FANS. The list meet in London-why the hell not, everything else seems to be down there, says the bitter and cynical one. from up north! PLEASE when are the B&S gigs in Manchester? You've had them down south! But a list meet oop north...?!? Nevr mind, I'd go to London, but being poor and sacked from job (due to guy fleeing to Ireland coz of taxman)I can't afford it-BUT I WANT TO! Sod it. Oh, and I remeber other people coming up with questions re: AFK van, or whatever, I've forgotten just at the mo'-its a German familly transporter, some dodgy car..or so they said...it wasn't in relation to B&S tho' so it might be different. Lovehearts and stars and at least AFK van soundz better than bicycle made for two-which however would be..interesting! :) -- Sarah ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
