You should now have a three digit number: The first digit of this was your original number (i.e. how many times you want to go out each week). The second two digits are your age!!! I actually arased doing this AND IT WORKS!! I got 716 and THATS WHAT I SAID/AM!!!! I am 16 and I said I'd go out 7 days a week. Oh wow oh wow. And I even was clever and did long multiplication to do 19 times 50!!! Not even the calculator next to me! I can't do long division though. I prefer JOY DIVISION! WOW! Ben Ferneyhough you are a genius! heck, I can't seem to stay off this list can I??? I loather microsoft. I'm going to kill Bill Gates. Anyone else want to join in?

Sinister: Club nights?
by adam the fool 27 Jan '98

27 Jan '98

Does anyone know of any decent indie nights in bristol (It's all scary 'bristol scene' people around here, don't get me wrong i like the music, but the people are all far too tall) all that i've found is Kandi Klub which is alright but hasn't played b&s or Helen Love that i've noticed... And i think we should have a heated debate about little smileys rather than the edinburgh clubs (bit far away you see...) ;o) (I like mine to have a lopsided nose.) Oh yeah - valentines day soon - anyone else think this is the worst day of the year? What else? Well why don't we pick a day sometime next month and then all phone Radio One's Most Wanted (freephone i think) and force Dave Pearce to play Expectations (or whatever) that would be cool. Love Adam. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Matator/Capitol is distributed by EMI Music Distribution...and I can say we (especially me) have been on the Belle & Sebastian tip since Sinister was released in the U.S. back in April. I anxiously awaited B&S's decision on their U.S. label and was ecstatic that they chose Matador which is a perfect fit. BTW I've gotten a surplus of double-sided Sinister posters if anyone wants them email me (sorry, but if you're outside the U.S. there is a dilemma regarding postage.) Keepin' it real, Leslie. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Sinister: B&S on Matador Author: todd <bullis(a)avana.net> at X-MAIL Date: 1/27/98 3:56 PM the problem with getting the list in digest form is that everyone has already responded to the threads that catch your eye, so by the time to chime in with your American indie-rock knowledge, its already exhausted. but I'm still chiming in anyway. Matador will be a good home in America for B&S. As already noted, it is the home to Pavement. In addition to that they also are home to Guided by Voices, Liz Phair, Chavez, Cat Power, etc. I believe they have a good distribution deal with Elektra or Atlantic (sorry to bring the biz into this, but we want B&S to have the widest distribution possible, right?) The artists get autonomy on Matador, so no one will be butting in saying "ummm...could you make this a little more like third eye blind?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Beggin' You
by plaird 27 Jan '98

Please, oh please could somebody do me a tape of Tigermilk and demos as my already crippled copy has finally died a tape death (ribbon-y innards spewing forth). I've been furtively asking around for another for some time, but to no avail. I could do a tape swop, and have all sorts of stuff I could tape in return. the Lairdster "Go to work on an Egg" - THE EGG Marketing Board ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Any fanzines (old, new) with B&S? Sell copies? I suppose they will tour once they've finished the ep or whatever. Everyone wants Lapanese girls screaming at them once in their lives, right? ( if you travel to see them, do they pay for the fare?) Yours a toute vitesse, Kelly ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: no B&S, just TBS....

TBS are essentially the-bloke-that-used-to-be-in-the-Field-Mice-and- Northern-Picture-Library (but whose name I forget) on dear departed Sarah Records. First album was Her Handwriting, which is indeed lovely, second is just about to appear following the recent single 'The Rainbow'. Go see the Shinkansen web-site for more info. And whilst I'm here, you should all really own at the very least the Sarah compilation 'There and Back Again Lane' cos its v.v. fab and in fact constantly puts me in mind of a certain B&S....

Sinister: Tigermilk for sale?
by Essexdog5＠aol.com 27 Jan '98

27 Jan '98

A friend of mine who works in a second hand record shop called me this morning to let me know that a vinyl copy of Tigermilk had come in. I'm not prepared to shell out the seventy quid required (particularly as I have no record player), but if anyone has a desperate urge to own, cherish, stroke and otherwise fondle said rare objet, the shop is called Shakedown Records in Camden, Norf Lahndan (24 Inverness Street). NB This is not a cheap ad for my mate's shop - it's meant more as a public service announcement, based upon my (maybe mistaken) belief that there aren't that many copies available. OK?

Sinister: Gloaming
by Christopher ~N~ Oram 27 Jan '98

27 Jan '98

Hello all, Apologies if any of the below has already been posted. Scroll down if you do not want to read more admiration for B & S. Christopher _______________ Yet another shout of praise for B & S, this time from Mark Eitzel in the pages of Time Out New York (reviewing selected songs) :- TONY: 'Beautiful' by B & S "They're my favourite band right now. He's a great songwriter. I love his music. It's a beautiful song. I've listened to IYFS a million times" TONY: What do they remind you of ? "What is it - Velvet Underground's third record ? "Candy says" ? But I don't care; the guy writes really important lyrics." ______________ Also, Stephen Pastel on the Pastels homepage. (Anyone else see them in London ? Anyone going to see them in Europe ?) :- <underline>Stephen Pastel's Rebellious Jukebox </underline>[ This will appear in Melody Maker at some point, in the Rebellious Jukebox slot, but it will be in a much edited form. ] Calling it, Nailing it. Keenan/Pastel head-to-head. Stephen is in normal text, David @. At the ICA, London, lying on the floor. 1. Belle and Sebastian "3...6...9 Seconds Of Light"/ Beat Happening first LP Every so often things come along that make you really think about how you feel about things and a lot of the time music seems very controlled so Belle and Sebastian at this point in time seem very political. There's a lot of different reasons why I like them, I think there's a lot of personality in the music, it's very folksy and it's funny, it's intelligent but to me it's quite political. Certain things happen that make me so aware that something's important and the Belle and Sebastian record came out and, as I work in a record shop, we got this package in and it kinda had all this Creation stuff about how they were spending £50,000 on Hurricane #1 and simultaneous to this I got this song which I put on and it was like "you're stuffing your fat face" it seemed incredibly righteous. I got a similar buzz from that record as when I first heard Beat Happening, in a way Beat Happening really made me feel that The Pastels were almost vulgar in their complexity. (Both laugh uproariously) @ I know what you mean! I just wanted to get back to simpler values. @ To me what's interesting about Belle and Sebastian is that they're like another recurrence, an uprising, of what'' almost a Scottish archetype. There's an archetypal Scottish band that's come round again and on the one hand they've got a capacity, like The Pastels, for `everyday mythology' and there's something really down to earth Scottish about it, like the warmth of Gregory's Girl, the feel of those times. A school football pitch, in the evening in East Kilbride..y'know? On the other hand there's sophistication, they're real sharp and exciting, out for love and kicks... It's very conversational, it's like if you went to see a nouvelle vague film at the GFT, to listen to someone after it from Glasgow talking about it, in a way, is as illuminating as the film itself. Maybe that's what Belle and Sebastian are. @ That's totally it, that's totally it! They just seem so punk rock and uncompromising. So much of the music scene is really controlled by industry trends and Belle and Sebastian are really out with it. What you say about it being an archetype is partly true but it's got a real freshness also that all the best archetypes ever have. @ At the same time, the archetype is this almost total reinvention of the game again, y'know? It's archetype, it's not copyist. @ It's paradigm-shifting. It's a whole new paradigm. Again. Yeah, yeah, definitely. @ That's that one nailed. Absolutely.
