> O.K. walking through a dark alley (stupid I know, but I'm just a > girl) on the way home after spending the day wandering round bookshops > off the Charing Cross Road Hey, did you pop into Books etc.? It's cool, but understaffed and understocked in vital areas. Anyways, point is did ya spot a v.tall guy serving peeps with G.Coxon-ish glasses and a black shirt/tie affair. If so it was me. Anyone else popping in there for last min. Xmas shopping trips should say hi, look for Simon. It'll be me and I'm dead friendly (esp. to fans of the koolest band round at the mo/last year and a half...) Also a big hi to all the luvly folks who found their way down to the John Snow for my poppermost quiz. A good laff had by all, loads of crap prizes! Oh, and if the girls/boys who won the last place/bag of crap could mail us, please tell us what you thought of the deal you got! Has the bluetones T-shirt lost that "smell", or is it now a dishcloth? There'll be another one in early Feb, I'll let you all know. Some things: a) anyone read/bought/stolen the new Nick Drake biog? Anygood, it sells damn well (which is surprising for a realtively obscure folky boy book costing 20 quid, but v.v. cool that it does) b) this is prob and old thing, but anyone noticed the Mary Joe/ A winter's Tale connection? It's always on at work at the moment. They're saying they may let me play the Sinister CD after Xmas. Yip. c) Manchester - I heard about a club that someone is gonna do after the Sat gig. Sounded very cool, it may be on the web but I can't check it for now. If not does anyone know anything. My Manc mates reckon there are no good indie type clubs there that night. Dunno if that sounds right for a Saturday night though. Bye and night night, Simon -- *** Luv, hugs and kisses from Simon *** (aka Chipper!

Sinister: Piles of stuff
by Keith Watson 15 Dec '97

15 Dec '97

Just to keep you people informed... Susannah, after my so far failed attempt at finding out Chris's 'Flare' statistics, my flatmate's got snowpatrol in the studio today, and I'm going down in a couple of days to do some guitar on a Finitribe record that Grant's remixing, so I can ask Richard about his piles (I've asked Grant to do it, but he'll no doubt forget). Obviously not a lot going on at the moment being very quiet, everyone's busy doing the biz in the chat room. Peter - where are you - join in the chatty fun! Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: (Fwd) Returned mail: Host unknown (Name server: ph.ac.ed.uk: h
by Cairns 15 Dec '97

For once this has some notable B&S content, but I've gotta be quick. Last night we went to Ben Folds Five in Bradford, and my pal Ross interviewed the man himself for the paper. Glowing with pride from the piano man's compliments about his hair, Ross later informed us that, not only is Ben Folds a massive Radiohead fan (and...), but that he absolutely adores B&S, and is desperate to get hold of a copy of Tigermilk. How we laughed as we thought that, whilst he may have a multi-million dollar recording contract and a top twenty hit in America (is this true, Yanks?), he may never have heard 'She's Losing It'. Oh, I had an idea to brighten up the devotees' trips to the rainy city. Why don't the people who know the place kind of, um, give pointers as to good places to visit during the weekend, things to do, etc. Like 'Why Don't You', only minus Declan Donnely. I'll begin, if you like: #1 - visit Vinyl Exchange and annoy Julian. Not just because it really is the swankiest plastic emporium in the North (apart from Picadilly), but because Julian, the Smile guy, works there sometimes. He'll probably be downstairs, smoking and filing U2 albums or something, looking grumpy. When you go in, you've got to ask him whether they've got 'Tigermilk', upon which he will smile and say: "Ha ha ha, no, but, actually, I have a copy, of my very own, on vinyl, it really is superb, I've had it ages." He enjoys saying this, BUT, if every other fool in there asks him the same question and then giggles, he'll start to get paranoid, which'll be really funny. Okay, maybe it won't, but at least I've shown some initiative. Also, he hates students, so go on about your course and cheap booze in unions and that'll be cool, too. Actually don't, this is cruel, 'cos Julian's a top bloke and once let us sleep on his floor. In fact this whole idea sucks. Grrrrrr. Finally, did anyone else laugh at Capt. Bob Stanley talking about Marianne Faithful on 'Brit Girls' on Saturday. I'm off now, Joseph xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

There's review of IYFS on a Brazilian magazine this month. I did no buy it cause it's crap.. but someone told me that is a BIG review. They wrote that B&S is a band to people who are missing the 80's. something like the best band since Smiths. I will get this review and will try to translate to English.

i'm not sure if anyone else on the list is from or near philadelphia, but there was an article on belle and sebastian in the philadelphia weekly newspaper. i was very surprised to see anything on them in such a mainstream newspaper. weird. i'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing. anyway, the review was very positive. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: I AM Elvis
by Acrylica 14 Dec '97

14 Dec '97

Hello, I'm new. I know it's your godgiven right to now proceed to flush my head down the loo, but before u do, I'll just introduce meself. Um, Ok... I'm Acrylica (well, I mean I obviously wasn't christened as that, 'cos I'd have to have had pretty weird hippy-dippy, texturally-inclined parents), my real name being Sally, which is too sweet, nice, girly and middle-class - everything I'm not, ha ha! I'm fed up with introducing myself now, so the only things you need to know are: I've red hair, my favourite item of clothing is my dalmation-print furry romper suit (as anyone who's on the Pulp list will know!), I'm glittery with a pessimistic inside, and I was..er.. a Pampers baby. I've tried to get on this here list several times, but the command's always failed - probably due to my abysmal typing... ooh, ooh Teletubbies!... Er, sorry about that, but the little space toddlers themselves just came on the radio (well, not literally...)... oh, yeah, I could never get on it. But that's all in the past now (along with November, if my calendar's to be believed). I was going to have a really attention-grabbing Subject Title ("Manchester Town Hall Eaten By Giant Yeti"?), but when I did that on Lipgloss ("New Tour Announced"!) it caused several heart attacks, nervous breakdowns and backlashes; I always feel more emotionally fragile when listening to B&S then Pulp, so I won't frighten u all. OK, that's all for now... Lots of love and (very new) iguanas... Acrylica (going on the 28th, ooh yes!) sallydoll(a)lineone.net P.S.: Elvis is indeed a cat, but not any old cat, ooh no! He is in fact a bloody huge bengal tiger, and that's why he's allowed to watch the E-files - I mean would you argue with an animal that size? Wee Karn has obviously being watching 999 Lifesavers and knows to keep him talking, in order to pacify the beast. God, it's just sooooooo obvious! ;-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
