Sinister: i'm an idiot

Sorry for, man am I dumb, responding to the list with that last message. Double sorry for this one. Tie in, let's see... OK, I was equally moronic today when installing a new PC at work and my boss wondered what the song was blaring out of my headphones. As she lifted the headset (which was playing String Bean Jean) I tried to help her because I knew the stupid ear pieces were going to fall off (I've broken them both by slamming the headset to the ground after particularly loud songs). Of course I missed the left piece and it fell to the ground. Of course I missed the right piece and it fell onto a chair. Of course I did not miss her chest which my uncoordinated hands fell onto. Jeez, another pornographic moment with a Belle & Sebastian soundtrack. Luckily my boss isn't much older than me and expects dumb behavior when she gets too close. AARRGGHH!

Sinister: ISP help, kinda
by Clint Barnes 26 Sep '97

26 Sep '97

Well, this doesn't exactly answer your question, but I do have something to offer... I have 25 megs of server space in the U.S. (west coast) just sitting empty and if you'd like to use it as a U.S. mirror to your site, you are totally welcome to have it. I can give you the upload address and set up a password for you or I can move the files if you want. Also, I have a top-of-the-line PC and PowerMac in my office at work and an ethernet connection to the internet, so I can move files quickly and I also have access to great graphics/multimedia programs. So, if you ever need a resource for any of the above, or the server space, let me know. I get pretty bored here at work, and I'm usually around here 50-60 hours a week so I'd be happy to help out. -Clint ps-I wouldn't make this offer to anyone else but a Belle and Sebastian fan since they are the only band in the past two years that have made me feel that the current 'little guy' music scene isn't dead. ____________________________ clint barnes Electronic Publishing clbarnes(a)cisco.com (408) 526-8379 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Things to listen to
by oc245d8aff＠colon.net 25 Sep '97

25 Sep '97

The best thing I've bought in a long time is "Arkology" by Lee Perry and chums. The second best thing is Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Warner Archives" The third best thing is Led Zeppelin's "Remasters" which has improved a lot since I sold the tape version a couple of years ago. It's much better if you can skip out the crap ones annd get down to some serious riffing. On the indie front, I like "Chorus" by Flying Saucer Attack, which I was lucky enough to rescue from the bargain bucket. Really good muffled drum sounds. I also bought Chumbawamba, but I haven't got past the first song yet. I suppose everyone's mightily sick of it by now, but it makes me feel a bit homesick. But not much.

Sinister: Perfect song for a rainy day
by Mike Longaphie 25 Sep '97

25 Sep '97

I was on the bus today and it was shitty weather as usual, pouring rain and cold and gross. And then "Fox in the Snow" came through my walkman and everything was perfect and fine and.... just right. Probably the most fitting song, for the moment, I've ever heard. mike ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: You're not alone/another canuck
by Mike Longaphie 25 Sep '97

25 Sep '97

> Wow...I'm the only lister from Canada =) > > - -Allan Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing, but obviously there's two of us. So get to fixing those numbers Paul! Anyways I had a hard time finding B&S in Canada. I did see it downtown at an HMV for $21.99 because it's an import here. I just waited until I went to the states and bought it for ,I believe, $11.49. I got "Dog On wheels" and "LLPJ" from Parasol. And John Stuart is gonna tape me Tigermilk as soon as I send him the tapes. Sorry John, but, as I'm sure most of you, tuition sucks. And oh yeah, I heard about them through the indie-pop list. And actually lately there's been about three or four reviews of the album in a couple of Toronto's weeklys. I think there's only been one positive one and the rest were all luke-warm. mike ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re: they say in never rains in.....
by barzy＠networkmags.com 25 Sep '97

It's amazing how different a song can sound when it rains. I've never listened to Belle & Sebastian in the rain before....I can't recall the last time it rained in LA.....Driving to work I actually had my windshield wipers on....they were smacking round to the exact tune of "Judy And The Dream Of Horses."....Right then I realized i'd not heard that song since I saw B&E in NYC, and I was taken right back there to a room full of glowing people who weren't thinking about anything except Belle & Sebastian, all thinking at once..."I can't believe i'm here." I just remember the trumpet and drums kicking in and EVERYONE slightly bouncing up and down on their feet, and feeling the hard-wood floor underneath completely moving. I remember Matt Neimark turning round and having this "oh...my....God...." look on his face, and seeing tears starting to fill Felicia's eyes......It was the most incredible exchange of energy i've ever felt....And everyone, was looking at Stewart. I had to refocus my eyes on the road so I didn't run off, re-watching this all in my head....And, of course, by the time the cd had started over and made it half-way through "The Stars Of Track And Field" I was crying, it was raining harder, and I was pulling into the parking lot where I work. funny what a little rain does to people in California. xo beth ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: Domain membership of list (fwd)

Kaori gave me permission to forward this to the list - thought it might be of interest to some - news of B&S's Japanese profile! Paul mailto:owener-sinister@majordomo.net ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 25 Sep 1997 14:53:23 +0900 From: Kaori Laird <kaori(a)laird.org> To: P.S.Mitchell <psm(a)Majordomo.net> Subject: Re: Sinister: Domain membership of list Hello there, I am that 1 subscriber in Japan. Here is the B&S informations in this country. TOSHIBA EMI just released "If you're -"LP. I am not sure if this is due the the TOSHIBA's big promotion on B&S or not, but most of the music mazgazine reviews, here in Japan, are very - hmmmm, supportive - or welcoming. Most of the critics are taking B&S sounds as highly fashionable. To prove that, even in a Japanese fashion magazine called "FIGARO JAPON" which is quite hi-fashion magazine which is relevant to Harpers or Vogue in UK (or maybe more classy, because that magazine contains full of "the supermodels in more than GBP500 clothes with famous fashion photographers' shot" type). And the review in FIGARO is highly recommending B&S. It says, in Japanese music industry, B&S sounds are called in comparison as "minstrel of the modern age" I am not sure of the existance of "a fanclub" in Japan, yet. Anyway, B&S has TOSHIBA rabel in Japan now, so I will see B&S faces in a lot of Japanese music magazines very soon. P.S. I was sending "FIGARO JAPON" magazine to my friend Susan in Hamilton who is a friend of "Adrian". I wonder if this make sense to you....
