Sinister: Who do they support competition?
by Chris D Martin 26 Nov '97

26 Nov '97

So who do B&S support, as in football, as in the competition on Katrina and David's fan club site? Well I don't know, perhaps I should but I don't. But I think that they might support Partick Thistle. Somehow the two seem to be connected in unconnected sort of way. So stab in the dark, longshot etc., but if the answer is Partick Thistle, what is the chances of B&S supporting the Save the Jags campaign since this wee team is about to go under? So I've admitted it. I'm a Thistle fan (not a football fan mind, a Thistle fan). I've come out. That was almost as hard as admitting to Mary, my ex and best friend, that I've slept with her boyfriend. (He's a polygamist, so it was alright.) Enough spraffle from me for now. lol chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Glasgow on a Sunday: no B&S content really
by Hopkins T 26 Nov '97

26 Nov '97

Sorry if the lack of Belle and Sebastian content in this mail offends anyone, but you seemed like the right people to ask. I *might* have to spend the night in Glasgow on Sunday, so two things: (i) what's on on a Sunday night which is intersting to do (and preferably involves alcoholic intake of some sort) (ii) anyone know of any reasonably places to stay or suchlike? cheers Tim begin 600 winmail.dat M>)\^(A`0`0:0"``$```````!``$``0>0!@`(````Y`0```````#H``$(@`<` M&````$E032Y-:6-R;W-O9G0@36%I;"Y.;W1E`#$(`02``0`K````1VQA<V=O M=R!O;B!A(%-U;F1A>3H@;F\@0B93(&-O;G1E;G0@<F5A;&QY`+P.`0F``0`A M````,$-$0SDU0T(V038V1#$Q,4(T0D$P,$$P0SDT0D8W,4(`4P<!((`#``X` M``#-!PL`&@`0``\`#0`#`"@!`06``P`.````S0<+`!H`#P`)`!```P`D`0$- M@`0``@````(``@`!`Y`&`+`&```I````"P`"``$````#`"X``````$``.0`` M,"E#??J\`1X`<``!````&0```%-I;FES=&5R.B!-;W)E(%%U97-T:6]N<P`` M```"`7$``0```!L````!O/IZZL(#9//)9E01T9QK`*`DBBT9``!TXO```@$) M$`$```#F`0``X@$``&\"``!,6D9UX.U)^@,`"@!R8W!G,3(UTC(`^S,V`>@@ M`J0#XPD"`&-H"L!S970POB`'$P*#`%`#U1%E?0J`:0C((#L);S`"@`J!=2YC M`%`+`PM@;@X0,#/>,PNG"K$*A!71:0\Q#,%'`<$&``6P<GD@!I`@$'1H92`+ M8&-K(,)O&.!"96QL&2``<,)D!E%B87-T!S`#H'\%H`(P"?`%0`N`&/$$`"#7 M`,`#$1F09@GP9`0@`'"">0(@92P@8G4%0.D<\'4@$1!E!X`:0!>P3FL9(!D" M!1!G:`5`<"QE;PM0'G%O&A!S:X8N"N,*@$D@*FT>XM0J(!#@=A^#<Q\P&C$O M&0(#`![R&X%'"V!S9RYO!^`"(`8`=1HP87GE'3!S'[!T=R01&\`6$`1S.B`5 M*&DI('>Y$.!T)P0@(U$C46$C=?<B-260#>!H&,`$(`N`&S"O$0`:L!80'Y)D M'[`H&B)6<!0`''!R`:!L&+%NKG8&\"%`'+%L!:!H!O#[#>`GTF$>81F1)``' M@"/Q'0`@*23V)6$<U"!K;N\C(AC@'-$>P&4:D`(@*:-]"U%C!Y$A<@&0&+`% ML7/U%6!H'D(_%O@*@!#0">"_$0`6]`=A"-``02E`;QLP7&-T$>(7`Q,!`#/@ M```>`#%``0````\```!!1$%41TA$,#8Y,S1&-0```P`:0``````>`#!``0`` M``\```!!1$%41TA$,#8Y,S1&-0```P`90``````#`#8```````L`!H`((`8` M`````,````````!&``````.%`````````P`(@`@@!@``````P````````$8` M````4H4``+<-```>``F`""`&``````#`````````1@````!4A0```0````0` M```X+C```P`*@`@@!@``````P````````$8``````84````````+``N`""`& M``````#`````````1(a)`````.A0````````,`!X`((`8``````,````````!& M`````!"%`````````P`,@`@@!@``````P````````$8`````$84````````# M``V`""`&``````#`````````1@`````8A0```````!X`#H`((`8``````,`` M``````!&`````#:%```!`````0`````````>``^`""`&``````#````````` M1@`````WA0```0````$`````````'@`0@`@@!@``````P````````$8````` M.(4```$````!``````````,`)@```````P"`$/____\"`?D_`0```'0````` M````W*=`R,!"$!JTN0@`*R_A@@$````&````+T\]3$%.0T%35$52(%5.259% M4E-)5%DO3U4]35--04E,+T-./5)%0TE0245.5%,O0TX]35,@34%)3"!214-) M4$E%3E13+T-./4%$051'2$0P-CDS-$8U`!X`^#\!````"@```$AO<&MI;G,@ M5````!X`.$`!````#P```$%$051'2$0P-CDS-$8U```"`?L_`0```'0````` M````W*=`R,!"$!JTN0@`*R_A@@$````&````+T\]3$%.0T%35$52(%5.259% M4E-)5%DO3U4]35--04E,+T-./5)%0TE0245.5%,O0TX]35,@34%)3"!214-) M4$E%3E13+T-./4%$051'2$0P-CDS-$8U`!X`^C\!````"@```$AO<&MI;G,@ M5````!X`.4`!````#P```$%$051'2$0P-CDS-$8U``!```<P@!8^OGSZO`%` M``@P0`3P>8;ZO`$>`#T``0````$`````````'@`=#@$````K````1VQA<V=O M=R!O;B!A(%-U;F1A>3H@;F\@0B93(&-O;G1E;G0@<F5A;&QY```+`"D````` M``L`(P```````P`&$#C"N.,#``<0-@$```,`$!```````P`1$``````>``@0 M`0```&4```!33U)264E&5$A%3$%#2T]&0D5,3$5!3D1314)!4U1)04Y#3TY4 M14Y424Y42$E334%)3$]&1D5.1%-!3EE/3D4L0E5464]54T5%345$3$E+151( 815))1TA44$5/4$Q%5$]!4TM)`````,!F ` end ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Infinitely better, I'd say. That BBC version is a pile of old poo, and the original is a bona fide classic in my book. I remember listening to it many years ago on my personal stereo in Princess Street Gardens, Edinburgh, about 7 o'clock one sunny morning, having just arrived off the overnight coach from London, and thinking, "isn't life beautiful". And I've never even tried heroin. Nigel xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Lou didn't have the foresight to use our Gabrielle in the original, did he, eh ? And before anyone writes in the belief that they've spotted a flaw in this line of argument, well there isn't one. I stood next to la Reed after the White Show performance a couple of years ago. He's old, y'know ? I was going to invite him back to my house for a spliff, but he was with Dave Stewart. And I don't 'do' drugs. Monica Queen sounds very much like Maria McKee to these ears. I like her eponymous album, so I'll mark that down as a GOOD thing. Talking of George Jones, his 'Anniversary' CD is having it fifteenth 63 minutes and 6 seconds of fame on my CD player this week.

Sinister: Falling over Seymour Stein
by Nick Dastoor/BSHO/GB 26 Nov '97

26 Nov '97

I'm sure that this has been mentiioned on the list before I joined the fun, but others may be interested to read about the events that (I assume) were the inspiration for Belle & Sebastian's fantastic paean to the Sire records supremo. The report is from the Glasgow Herald of 6/12/96. CONSIDERING that they're two regular blokes from Falkirk, Arab Strap have quickly made a lasting impression on the hipper epicentres of the music industry. Or more accurately they've made a series of lasting impressions, some of them physical. For instance, after the duo's first public performance in August, supporting Belle And Sebastian in Glasgow, Aidan Moffat left the stage in a drunken stupor and fell heavily over Seymour Stein, the recordbiz legend who discovered Talking Heads, Blondie, Madonna, and the Ramones. Stein was sitting on the venue's floor, having jetted in from New York to see the show's headliners. Despite his Strap-inflicted contusions, however, Stein remained sufficiently impressed to press his phone number upon them.

Sinister: Lyrics

I can't understand all these confessions about misunderstanding lyrics... Doesn't everyone pick up the lyrics from the moment they put the CD on, and sing lustily along, or is it just me? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: sinister: mamas and papas, sisters and brothers-in-law
by mctag＠mcmail.com 26 Nov '97

26 Nov '97

hello everybody (hello doctor Nick), Senor Miller mentioned showing off his Sebs (as I shall insist on calling them from now on, it's more RAWK) T-shirt to his ma + pa. Keeping the family theme alive, my father asked me last week 'who's this Belle and Sebastian then? What have they done that I know?'. Apparently my sister had been discussing the possibility of going to the Manchester gigs (her and her husband are particularly fond of 'Stars of Track and Field', he's a keen athelete and is convinced the song is about him - I do wonder if he's listened to the lyrics), and this had aroused my father's curiosity. It's always difficult to answer questions like this from my parents. 'They're a pop group....err...they're great...my favourite group...err, they're from Glasgow, like you (remind me never to go into advertising)'. Then I played 'IYFS'. The response...'Could you just turn it down a wee bit, please, it's quite good, but awful noisy'. Well, I tried. Can anyone confirm that Channel 4 text are giving double points to any vote for the Sebs in their single of the year poll? Them and All Saints, apparently. Oh one other thing....

We have a picture of him on our wall. He's the cutting edge, yet somehow 'down with the kids' as well. Anyone who heard the Sebs' session last time around will know that no-one in the world can say 'whooping' quite like Steve Lamacq. Andrew, you're right. He is Satan.

Sinister: re: london list meet

d&k: >Back on the theme of the proposed London meet, my friends >are organising a pop quiz for Thursday night (tomorrow). So >why not use this as a London meet? bad idea i think - we'll all be at home with fingers poised over pause buttons to tape that night's session track... i prefer stephen's idea, a coffee place rather than a noisy, smelly, smokey pub (i don't drink but then i don't drink coffee either...). and the pop quiz strikes me as a distraction... sorry. oh, and pam (and ben), don't you think you've done enough tigermilk tapes for people? isn't it time for those people you did tapes for to offer to do tapes for the new people, division of labour and all that? and steve lamacq continues to get on my tits with last night's showing... andy(grizzly)bear ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Tonight, Matthew, I will be Chris Geddes....
by stephen troussé 26 Nov '97

26 Nov '97

Oh dear, I've just read the lyrics someone typed up to 'Seymour Stein' and I am crushed. One of my most dearly-held delusions was that the line after 'North of Scotland has these things' was 'but only Harold and Maude see', thus extending the B&S frame of reference to include a classic film of morbid adolescence. It turns out its something about a limousine.... I was talking to my musician friend Simon the other day. Turns out that he's decided to play in a Smiths tribute band ('The Smythes'!) because, and I quote, 'you can't make money playing your own songs anymore'. This got me thinking. Considering all the posts from people who've seen bands playing B&S material, how long can it be before the group have their very own tribute band? It'd be great! Stuart could send them out to do all the nasty promo work (talking to the NME, going on Later with Jools) the band can't be bothered with. And they'd be able to play at times when the real band are tied up with church bazaars, roller discos, exams etc. But what would they be called? 'The Cock Fun Mob' is a cracking suggestion, but I'm sure Peter already has it copyrighted... The Dogs on Wheels? The Lazy Line Painters? Mad Murdoch and his Middle-Distance Runners? I'll shut up now.
