Sinister: General Ramble
by PM - AU 10 Dec '97

10 Dec '97

If you ever want to annoy your father-in-law, may I suggest that you stuff his nailfile under the settee. The result is like a mighty volcanoe spewing forth molten lava and shouting a lot. You'd think the old bugger would realise it was me hiding all his stuff, wouldn't you? But no. He huffs and he puffs and I keep a straight face. Which brings me neatly to the subject of the Conversation Parlour. It is highly unlikely that I'd be able to indulge in witty banter for more than five minutes before a rabid pensioner comes bursting into the room shouting incoherent nonsense about the phone not working. So if I don't manage to join in just yet, it's all down to creeping senile dementia, not just the slowness of the software downtrickle. Before long I'll be disappearing to go and sun myself on a topless breast on the Mediterranean and when I get back it should be all change round here, enabling me to fritter away my time in the manner of my choosing. I'm a bit envious of you all meeting up for this Manchester shindig. Paul Mitchell + 3, eh? Are Splat and Shirl going as well? No one should have any trouble spotting Paul, he is a crudely drawn stick man, as can be seen on his website. And the Duke AND Duchess of Haringay! Look out for a mad woman shouting "they sound fucking great!" at the top of her voice. Ben Folds Five's lyrical outlook is vaguely similar to Belle and Sebastian, but quite American I think. Then again, not very similar at all. I think Mister Folds has got some nice songs. And fits in nicely with my assumed persona of seventies freak. Someone asked if the Barcelona concert was as beautiful as they imagined it to be, and I don't think anyone has answered yet, so I will. I don't know. It was certainly the best evening's entertainment I've had in quite a long time, but it was probably a bit too chaotic for it to be most people's idea of beautiful. There were lots of beautiful bits, such as a very amiable security guard saying goodnight to everyone (honest!) and Chris's feet pedaling away on his pedals and Sarah having to stop halfway through a song to tie up her rollerskate laces and Stuart M's sandals and, and, and...lots of things. I suppose beautiful would be an appropriate word. I could go on and on and on, but the in-laws are onn their way to bed, so it's prime hiding things time for me. The TV remote control is the best, it produces a controlled nuclear explosion that Jacques Chirac would be proud of. Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Night Birds
by Adrian Evans 10 Dec '97

10 Dec '97

Oh you people are so wonderful yet so miserable !! What chance of organising chat-room "meet-ups" around lunch-times (GMT) for those of us who are just abusing their employers facilities ??? I'd love the opportunity for a drop-in chat with some of you fellow B&S chaps. Committed to my work I might be, but I am somewhat loathed to hang around this dump until 9:00pm....there's footy on the box as well.....albeit only the Manc-scum. -- Adrian Evans ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Something to share...
by Leong Mun Wai 10 Dec '97

10 Dec '97

Hi, Guess what? Today I was visiting the official B&S website, and decided I should join the mailing list. I also listened to 'a century of fakers' on the stokage e-zine's (#18) article on B&S, felt tears well up in my eyes, and was wondering to myself if I would ever get my own copy (which I could do by making the expensive mail order to the UK, or from Parasol, but I think they're out of stock at the moment). And then on this very same day, about 13hrs later, at my local record store, I find 3..6..9 seconds of light and lazy line painter jane sitting on the cd-singles shelf. They only brought in two copies of each. I was the happiest man on earth... :)Mun Wai ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

the melody make today has a list of b&s's favourite lps with a short write-up of each done by the band member who chose them... beatles, beastie boys, nick cave, orange juice (twice), phil spector, teenage fanclub... and a new picture of chris reading about malcolm x ('no skulldugery, no flim-flam...') the nme has the following in it's tour news: belle & sebastian manchester town hall (december 27 and 28) which i thought was kinda terse... oh, has anyone got their tickets from foundation yet? it's a couple of days away from me starting to worry but some reassurance would be good... and why is the list so quiet recently? is it because we're all strung out on irc? i didn't get home until 11 last night with all the chatting... it's a strange thing. kids, just say no. andy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

> oh, has anyone got their tickets from foundation yet? it's a > couple of days away from me starting to worry but some > reassurance would be good... I got my tickets this morning! Which reminds me... I'll be staying at the youth hostel on the Sunday night. Somebody posted the prices the other day, and I thought I ought to add that you'll have to pay another tenner to the basic £18 to become a member of the YHA. Still, it's probably cheaper than staying in a dodgy B&B... we ought to take over the place for a couple of evenings! > and why is the list so quiet recently? is it because we're > all strung out on irc? i didn't get home until 11 last night > with all the chatting... it's a strange thing. kids, just > say no. It is indeed a very spooky medium. There's something a bit ouija-board-ish seeing all these words materialise out of the ether onto your screen. It can be a bit like trying to have a conversation in a crowded pub during a powercut if there's a lot of people there. Also, you need bionic fingers to keep up with the typing speed of the Honeymonster. I had a look at the Stokage fanzine this morning. Great article, Stefan! It said a lot that I've felt myself, but have been too inarticulate/lazy to actually write down. Interesting that Stuart David says that 'Tigermilk is free and untutored and Sinister is repressed and lifeless' and yet there's still no plans to release it... Oh well, 17 days and counting...

Sinister: IRC
by Keith Watson 10 Dec '97

10 Dec '97

Thought I'd give the old IRC job a shot tonight, if anyone's up for it. If I can configure my machine to work properly (it's running through a proxy server - which doesn't like to use any IRC except netcom which is what the proxy server runs). We could as an alternative suggestion, run a chat program on David + Katrina's web page (This would mean people wouldn't need to download mirc and go through all the trauma, same as the NME webpage), however given the way these things work, you need a server program to be running on the web page machine - which means that your ISP will have to allow you to do this... What do people reckon, is it possible? I can knock up the software if it's possible. Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
