Sinister: Introduction & a truckload of questions
by Reid 06 Dec '97

06 Dec '97

Hello. I've just joined this list, just a few short days after learning that it existed (like I'd hoped) and just a few short months after finding Belle and Sebastian. The main reason I joined is to ask questions, which I have a ton of. If anyone has the answers, I would greatly appreciate them. 1) I bought the "Dog On Wheels" single the other day (they had three-count 'em-THREE copies in a record store in downtown Chapel Hill. I take back everything bad I ever said about no good imports in North Carolina!). So I'm listening to "The State That I Am In", and I notice a huge scratch noise in the line "I gave myself to sin". So, of course, I took it back to the store, but the other two copies had the scratch too. Now, I couldn't not have it, so I just have to deal with that scratch. The question is: Is this something that other people have found on their copies? Or is this just a bad batch? Should I even be thinking about going through the trouble to try and get another one? 2) B&S's singer is Stuart Murdoch, right? 3) Did anyone else swoon when they heard about that B&S show with Magnetic Fields (who are great on album and unbelievably beautiful live) in a courtyard in Barcelona? It's such a gorgeous thought, I have a hard time believing that it ever happened. Was anyone on the list there? Was it as beautiful as I'm imagining? Okay, so the questions aren't springing to mind just now...But I'm sure some more will pop up. ...I'm looking forward to this. -Reid -- "If the editors of the Manhattan Argus see fit to publish the rantings of a disordered mind, then perhaps they will see fit to publish this letter!"

Sinister: fox in the, um, grass
by shelley 06 Dec '97

06 Dec '97

all this talk of foxes paused poignantly below street lamps is just making me envious of never being able to witness this 8th wonder of the world. i was at a BBQ last night though, and someone at the park we were picnic-ing at had a puppy called sebastian ... and he kind of looked like a fox too (the dog, not the boy) shelley ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: it was beauitful while it lasted...
by blink＠inexpress.net 06 Dec '97

06 Dec '97

Dear Sinister People, Hello! How ae you this week? Today was a goodday..or a good ending to a bad bit I should say,a feeling of contentmetn and things are resolved..I hope this wil last long,I have rfiends who like to live in conflict,it can get to be a bit much! On the Lamcaque guy..Steve..I would've lie to see thetime, I don't know if this is true..but I heard..when the Manics were first starting out,he asked Richey if they were 'for real,or if it was just an image?' and Richey silenty cut 'FOR REAL' into his arm..I think that would ve shut M.Lamaque up... On recurring themes..it's strange,I will be listening to stories in Belle and Sebastian songs..and they are just sort of lovely,I listen to them but I don't anyalze them,untill a couple days ago..I needed a response for English..so for a quick thing,I did Stars Of Track And Field,and once I started writing about it..a whole slew of other ideas came into my head,its odd...they can be interepreted a lot of ways,I always thought it was sort of Stuart's revenge against classmates in high school (that is another theme,underlying sort of?) but it could also be about those tv evangelists that go oin and preach about God while receiving cheques? 'make a new CULT every day to suit your affairs' soe of the liens don't really fit,but I jsut get the feeling of a bunch of people who are really evil,hide behind a seemingly moral idea or cause....they never know it,because you never show it, (the real side of them?) Geez..I hope I'm not way off here,because I would've really like to have passed that English response.. Talk about my dreams crashing against the rocks...turn out,I actually did get to see my friend from England,for a few hours before he left,I was so excited,going to talk to him about bands,I mention Suede only to be met with a 'SUEDE! GAG' and lots of awful noises..he said he was an Ash and Sleeper fan,I like them too...but,I didn't even mention Belle and Sebastian..don't know what kind of reception that owuld get..but..my dreams were crushed because he told me how awful England was,that I would'nt want to go visit there London is terrible poeple will beat you up and that he's goign to school in Ottawa for good in a year and ahalf,this evil! I don't think he understands..how long I've wanted to go....him. wanting to come here so bad..and me wanting to og there so bad,cruely not funny. kisses, Genevieve :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: A Jeepster Chat Room...
by David & Katrina 06 Dec '97

06 Dec '97

. . . exists for all to use. It's just in prep for a test of our IRC abilities. On Tuesday 9th at 9pm UK time we will simulate and test an IRC chat. If all goes well then Belle and Sebastian may join us in a couple of weeks for a proper one. This will only be an effective test if a lot of people turn up. One of us will pretend to be the band and you can question us into oblivion whilst someone else tries to see what control can be exerted to help keep order amoungst the chaos. The Sinister, Fan Club and hopefully Tweenet sites will all reflect how the test will be run closer to the date (probably Monday). So, if you would like to take part in the chat on Tuesday and need a hand getting the software and using IRC then visit the fan club site or Paul's site and follow all the instructions. The fan club site already has download details, an FAQ, how to get started and chat etiquette pages to help you. Read these pages before you go to the chat room to help understand how it will work. Please use the Jeepster room now to get aclimatised to this medium as it will not be available for public use in the run up to the real chat. A second room may be set up for you in the meantime. If you already have software then connect to chat.virgin.net on port 6667. Thanks Katrina House (jeepster recordings and the fan club) David Kitchen (fan club and fan club site) Paul Mitchell (sinister list and site) Any simple probs, mail the list and we can fill in the gaps in the FAQ and help other people having the same problems. -- ******************************************************************** http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/ mailto:bluesoda@totalweb.co.uk ******************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Freebee or Frisbee?
by Richard Banner 05 Dec '97

The Joys of using University/College Equipment ---------------------------------------------- ....because it seems that a lot of listees are part of the education backbone (me included) and therefore using the sites systems to use email then i thought i better mention that they have little time left to get all that is B+S sorted....simply because Xmas holidays are nearly upon us. It seems therefore that talks about the two gigs, meets, travelling, accomodation etc. will need to be finalised sooner rather than later. If many are like me then next Friday will be their last day. It could of course be that i am making presumptions and talking out of my arse but i'm sure some will be affected. Cheers Rich PS....Does this mean the list will be quieter over the festive period? ...or will the mountain of mail be as high as ever when i return from turkey overload? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
