You didn't hear it from me, but B&S are not in the top ten "Best Band"s in the NME awards so far, neither are they in the top ten "Best New Band"s either, so get voting... you can vote online at www.nme.com/awards/vote.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Ben Folds and Sebastian
by Reid 12 Dec '97

12 Dec '97

> 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'. Ah, how great it is to hear that folks in the UK have discovered the glory that is Ben Folds Five. Their second album is really great, but the first, self-titled one is an absolute classic. And they're one of the best live acts around. A Top 20 hit? Hmm...I'm not sure about that. I know that they've been playing "Brick" a lot on the radio around here, but I don't even think that it was released as a single. It may be top 20 in the Modern Rock tracks or something...but then again, I stopped obsessively looking at Billboard years ago, so what would I know? So while I sit here in the hometown of Ben Folds Five, reading about how all of you lucky Brits get to go to see Belle and Sebastian, at least I can can take comfort in the fact that I have better access to more BFF gigs. I've seen them three times this year (had the chance to see them three more, but that would have taken some "doing"), and they'll probably play here again. And if you think I'm being snotty, just remember that I'll probably NEVER see Belle and Sebastian.

Here they used to sit in the shade for a long lazy summer's day talking listlessly over the village gossip and telling endless sleepy stories about nothing. But it would have been worth any statesman's money to have heard the fine discussions that sometimes took place when by chance an old newspaper fell into her hands from some passing traveller. How solemnly they would listen to the contents as drawn out by Derek Van Boore (?) the schoolmaster, a dapple learned man who was not to be daunted by the most gigantic word in the dictionary." anyone know what this is from? i don't :) got my tickets yesterday!! happy happy happy bunny love to all rob xx p.s. can someone explain what this sunday matinee business is all about - i'm most confused... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Hello People, I'm new (kinda)
by Simon Gooch 11 Dec '97

11 Dec '97

Hi peeps, My name is Simon and I'm new to the list, though not the band. Just got me email and net gubbins so just thought I'd say hello and that. Guess we'll see some of yer in Manc for the two (or maybe three) gigs. We're all off up there (from London/Southend) in a manky car driven by a mad ginger satan called Kev. Sorry, we have no space for lifts, wish we did and all that. But we've plenty of room for a party afterwards at our pal Kev's Moss Side homestead. Be warned though, his friend Somhairle (said: Sauly) will scare you through his wiseness. Anyway: all back to ours then... Luv and hugs and kisses Simon P.s. anyone read my fanzine called Chipper - see David's Bluesoda site for more details. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Mary Whitehouse speaks
by mctag＠mcmail.com 11 Dec '97

11 Dec '97

Dear 'Sinister' Last night, I went to the Sinister chat room, fully anticipating an informed and mature discussion of the nuances of my favourite 'beat combo' Belle and Sebastian. Imagine my horror, when I discovered that this 'chat room' was little more than a front for such scandalous indulgences as cheap innuendo, androgyny, food fetishism and group sex, perpetuated by a group of people so ashamed of their moral depravity that they masked their true identities behind such juvenile names as 'Honeybot' and 'Kinky'. I would advise any fellow upstanding listees to boycott this den of iniquity and voice your discontent to Mr. Paul Mitchell. Please ensure that such behaviour never happens again. Yours in outrage Disgusted of Chorlton Same time next week, OK? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: a brief period of chat....
by Matt Locke 11 Dec '97

11 Dec '97

hello everybody!! just a few comments about the brief period I spent in the sinister room last night... top fun! it was remarkable to find out that the duke was also ex-alumni of the Glasgow School of Art (its surprised me how many listees are here partly for B&S and partly to fondly reminisce of time spent in Glasgae... I know I'm one....) It was a tad confusing, but it was nice when everyone shut up for a while to listen to a joke.. it was almost like a 'lord of the flies' conch shell type thing... I seemed to get cut off after a short while (was it something I said???) I hope that non-chatters don't get caught out of the loop on the mail list... Perhaps only having one session a week is a good idea. it is a vaguely spooky experience though, but very cool to do 'actions' (I can breakdance in cyberspace) nuff for now mattxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
