Sinister: Christmas Present
by Johnston, John CT 27 Dec '97

27 Dec '97

So there I am. I'm at home in Oxford wrapping up my presents for my cousins who I was going to see on Boxing day. We've never been really really close but you know: they are family. And I'm quite close to one of them who has had a hard time of late with mental illness and other things you wouldn't wish on a charming girl of 24. I'd got her some candles (ooh -Mr Originality....) and I was listening to Sinister while wrapping up her stuff. And I was thinking.... "This is an awful gift... but this is fantastic music...I love this album....so would she....she'd better have it." So I stopped wrapping the candles , took my CD out of the machine, placed it in the battered box and wrapped that up instead. Yesterday we went round to her parents house. She wanted to play it immeadiately so we stuck it on. 30 seconds of "The Stars of Track and Field" was all it took before she looked at me; "I love it....". Happy Christmas See any matinee people on Sunday, hope the other gigs are wonderful. xxxx john PS - Would anyone in the London area like a posh candle...? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: boxing day greetings
by Jennifer Phillips-Bacher 26 Dec '97

26 Dec '97

Hi all! Just throwing my first Hello into the B & S ring. I've been lurking for about 3 weeks now, living vicariously through the list, imagining myself at the Manchester gigs. Soon the shows will be over, and I will be left without my daily dose of meet-up plans and travel arrangements. I implore those who will attend to talk about the gigs for at least 3 more weeks....i must complete the picture in my head. Anyway....here's my latest B & S news. I was in my hometown for christmas and i went out with a friend from high school who now lives in NYC. One of the first things she said to me when she got in my car was "You _must_ hear Belle and Sebastian". Now, I've not seen the girl for over 2 years. Not a Hello, How Are You...none of the formalities that one usually goes through in a reunion situation. Without blinking, i reached under my seat, grabbed a cassette and casually inserted it into the tape deck. The glorious sounds of IYFS emanated from my speakers....and all was well. My friend and i were reacquainted. Um, I guess that's the end of the story. Okay. Bye! Jennifer ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: joy to the world
by blink＠inexpress.net 26 Dec '97

26 Dec '97

Merry Christmas everyone,I think you're all so lovely! *sniff sniff* Isn't O Holy Night a beautiful Christmas song...it's my favourite.... >Date: Thu, 25 Dec 1997 00:21:59 -0600 >From: jkral(a)webtv.net (jaysen kralovetz) >Subject: Sinister: Us fun-loving Americans > >So... >Am I the only American Belle & Sebastian fan or what? Maybe they're not >Oasis-ish enough for our grunge-loving music consumers...it's so very >sad. Please tell me I am not alone. > >Jaysen. ah no non dear,you're not! But take special joy that it can be you're special secret then,but think about size..there ARE Belle and Sebastian fans out there,you are not alone..but America is much more vast and the fans that are there are separated by distance... but I admit sometimes it's hard to find a happy medium,I find a lot of American fans either are upset there are NO fans or that their once tiny sweet band is EVERYWHERE and suddenly they have to share it with all... You're not alone...;) Merry Christmas and God bless Love, Genevieve ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: xmas and multiple mails
by David & Katrina 25 Dec '97

25 Dec '97

firstly we wish everyone a very happy christmas and merry new year, we hope you have a good one and have enjoyed having you all round over the past year, we love you all, secondly, the return of the multiple mail gremlin, this is probably because of the same thing as last time, and may require whoever it is with the dodgy mail program (was it microsoft last time?) to unsubscribe. but in the mean time, i'm sure paul will do his best over the next few days to kill the gremlin love and pop david and katrina @ the fanclub and jeepster records -- ******************************************************************** Belle and Sebastian Fan Club merchandise, mail-outs, chat, lyrics, poetry, fiction http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/ mailto:bluesoda@totalweb.co.uk ******************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Hi kids, Gee, these christmas movies always get me. I'm such a sap. Here's my gift to you: Listen to The Able Tasmans. Especially _Hey Spinner!_ and _Somebody Ate My Planet_.
