Sinister: End of year polls...
by MRissb7989 17 Dec '97

17 Dec '97

For anybody who deosn't yet know, MM and NME both featured B&S quite heavily in their singles of the year lists..... NME Lazy Line...no. 22 3,6,9....no 35 Melody Maker 3,6,9....no.33 Lazy Line.....no.34 Dog on Wheels....no.38 NME's is the slightly better list, it has Arab Strap at no13 with all the usual Embrasis shit filling all of the other spots. MM has the Spice Slags at 23! and Aqua at 44. Nuff said. Now I know most of you won't give a toss about such lists and rightly so, but to us Stato-like, High Fidelity reading Saddoes they're great, so please excuse my indulgence in bringing this to you...especially as The Verve are at no 1 in both lists, and are from Wigan, like me!

I was expecting someone to mention Adam and Joe, as every time I visit a Website, someone talks about it on the list. Am I being watched? Or am I just paranoid? I always miss the start of the show when I tape it...I'll look closer in future. More importantly, will Stuart Murdoch recieve 'Vinyl Justice' on a future show? (an 'Adam and Joe' feature in which they sneer at pop stars' record collections). It would clear some wardrobe skeletons, and maybe even explain Electronic Rennaisance.... Well, I'm off to wrestle with the IRC program. Thanks X1000 to Sarah for my copy of Tigermilk, which is at this moment having babies, to be adopted by waitng, loving parents. Happy Xmas!

Sinister: American B&S fans?
by Ripoffs 17 Dec '97

17 Dec '97

Hello all. I am quite new to this whole thing and I am already feeling a little bit awkward. I am from America, a country that has no idea about Belle and Sebastian, and there aren't too many people other than my friends who listen to B&S and love them as much as us. Does anyone know any information about B&S doing an American tour? ellen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Foxhole, Foxhole
by Keith Watson 17 Dec '97

17 Dec '97

Only joking. I love the list. A day on the list is like a day on the farm. In any case, I can't do IRC during the day - at least.. not until next week! Wahey! Permanent connection at work soon. Still, having said that, I'll be unable to chat, given that I'll be deemed sad by my workmates. Well hungover today I'm afraid, work night out last night - a whole lotta boozin' goin' on. Cool, off on holiday as of Friday. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

>Re: Sinister: Fox in the street Someone mentioned the Nick Drake biography just now. I will look out for the Graham Coxon glasses lookalike next time I am in Books Etc. By coincidence I met the bloke who wrote it on Sunday at a kids party my niece went to. He doesn't have children but he lived next door. He seemed really nice and we had a good chat about one of my musical heroes. He seemed genuinely surprised that there was so much interest in the book. But I don't think he knows quite how well it is selling. He also wrote a book (I think he's called Patrick something) about Fairport Convention so I asked him about Sandy Denny and tried to persuade him to write about her because she is fantastic and I wanted to know why she died falling down the stairs and whether it was a euphemism like 'tired and emotional'. Another subject entirely, but I just wondered whether any readers of this list have watched 'The Adam and Joe Show' in the last few weeks. It is connected slightly because there is a poster of 'Lazy Line Painter Jane' poster in the title sequence which unfortunately gets covered up by Beck I think. I sort of help produce it and its interesting to know what people think. I am going to see B & S with a couple of friend on the Sunday.

Sinister: Lazy Pine Painter Jane
by Johnston, John CT 17 Dec '97

>Please note that I kept two mistakes from the original text: the author >(Zeca Camargo) says that they have two singles (instead of 3 EPS, right?) >and he really wrote "Lazy Pine..." Hooray for Brazil (where the nuts come from...) ! Lazy Pine Painter Jane is fabulous mishearing/translation/typo. It captures the ennui of working in an Ikea store. Any other paint related B&S moments? If you're peeling (sinister)...You made me forget my brush...The State this room is in... Sorry about all that. I'm not going to the Manchester gigs but I hope they are marvellous and everyone has a wonderful time. Would people who are going take some Ink Polaroids of it to share with the rest of the list?? joyeaux noel John "Johnny" Johnston ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Tell Me on a Sunday
by PM - AU 17 Dec '97

17 Dec '97

A popular music concert on a Sunday!!!!! - and at half past twelve, no less! I am shocked and stunned. I hope the band have no intention of missing church choir duties that day. Their well-publicised devotion to men of the cloth could lead to a serious Chariots of Fire style dilemna. Whatever would the Lord say? I think the list is much better than IRC and I urge you all to save at least some of your rambles for the good old fashioned list. Having said that I was lucky enough to stumble in on a nice conversation about Denim tribute bands in Texas. Sadly I was cut off in my prime before getting to the bottom of the matter. And just what is a tongue bath? That was probably a nice picture of a fox, but on the digest it just came through as a huge quantity of machine code cobblers. But I am very excited at the prospect of another competition. Vengeance is mine, and I will repay, sayeth the Lord (him again?). I am still smarting after my cruel defeat at the hands of "Choo Choo" Mitchell. Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

None

I, too, have been threatened by the Learning Resources Daemon with evil torments (Bring me...the COMFY CHAIR!) if I even so much as think about doing the IRC bad thing, and as I am a lovely law-abiding art student, I will not entertain the notion of flouting these commands. So...I can't chat to all you depraved people. Such is life. Do not forget us stuck here on the list, which is still fabulous. We'll be just fine without you, you vanload of harlots. This is all I have to say on the matter, so there. Lots of something, Liz (edaplynr3n00297(a)kiadroch.kiad.ac.uk) O life is a glorious cycle of song: A medley of extemporanea; And love is a thing that can never go wrong; And I am Marie of Roumania.

Sinister: waaaah!
by ajb882＠hecky.acns.nwu.edu 17 Dec '97

Boy, gone less than a week and I miss the list, the chatting, everything... Vacation for me is consisting of much sleeping, and I just got my grades for last quarter, and I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know that I did well in my classes, despite the distraction of the aforementioned vices (list/chatting). since my email access is sporadic until I return to school, a couple of notes: to anyone waiting for their T-milk tapes, no worries, they're all in the mail. you lucky folks who are going to Manchester: take explicit mental notes during the shows so that afterwards you can taunt all of us who couldn't make it with the juicy details...! I will be there in spirit, having set up a makeshift shrine of my B&S decorated coconut and poster and picture and candles, maybe...with assorted B&S tunes playing softly in the background...trying to telepathically will myself to Manchester. oh, well. anyone want anything from Disney World? until the next time I can hijack someone's computer... take care, Amanda Phairfan(a)aol.com) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
