Sinister: My wayward reasoning
by PKHINTZ 24 Jan '98

24 Jan '98

Today I went to the mall to pick up my first pair of glasses. I put them on after leaving the store; my depth perception was a bit skewed. I bumped into people and things until I found myself at a record store. It was the one where I bought "If You're Feeling Sinister" back around 12 May. I had had a gift certificate to the store from my sister; I was forced to purchase the overpriced CDs. I felt guilty shopping there even though I was not even spending my own money. I thought I would probably like the record--I had been hearing how amazing it was for months on other pop! mailing lists and the cover was beautiful--I bought it. When I listened to the album at home the song "Seeing Other People" was the first one to make my insides feel like they were being twisted around (though in turn each song has done that). My parents had been talking to me about their concerns of my "sexual identity" (I still do not understand why they were worried); that song made me feel like I would just cry. Consequently, I voted very highly for that song. Another song I gave a high score was "Belle and Sebastian" largely due to the line "...Sebastian wrote in his diary that/He would never be young again/But you will". The timelessness of life--of your own person--age is what you make of it, at least that is what I thought of it. In early September I took a rest from reading of dead Romans, laid on my back in Regents Park, under the sun before its annual cool, and listened to the song over and over. So this is life, I thought. "Expectations" was elected to the top of my charts also. Oh, not just the horrors of high school, but of other people and life in general, kicking, or looking up your skirt, when you are down; the power of music to calm and help us commiserate and empathise with others about the horrid parts of life. And those are just a few reasons why I voted the way I did. Living and loving Matthew ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

> what the hell does "le pastie" mean? > It doesn't mean anything in french.According to the official site (and one of the videos apparently but I didn't see then-are they broadcast on some french TV ? ) "Le pastie de la bourgeoisie" is a graffiti they found on a bakery in Glasgow.And they think the one who had wrote it thought it means "bakery" in french.But it doesn't. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: arse poo feck feck feck.
by Sarah 24 Jan '98

24 Jan '98

Never listen to Honey. Otherwise known as HoneyEncouragerToMakeEveryonePoor. He invents this fabulous IRC room. He makes me go. And my phone bill is telling me I owe them 66 pounds. I am not a happy bunny. And John and Laurel and Matt and Paul and Andy and Tag and everyone else I have talked to on there, well, it was fun! I have now deleted my program from my home pooter. However it is not delted from my u:\ drive at college heehee. I don't know if I am allowed to have that there but I do. So I will try and join 4 to 4.30 and during the day. I am a most uncontent bunny. In fact I am a very upset bunny. Never listen to Honey. He'll break your heart into little pieces. Oh I don't mean that I'm only kidding. If anybody would like to help me out with the phonebill..... I'm not at *all* proud! :-) I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!! Sarah I'm too melancholy to quote Tom Jones. What can I quote? "The difference between love and comfort Is that comfort is more reliable and true Brutal and mocking yet always there A crutch for emnitys saddest glare" --Comfort Comes by the Manic Street Preachers. I am feeling even more stupid due to my first ever proper interview with the Pastels not recording due to borrowing a dodgy tape. Nothing works out right. And even when it did record, I wish it didn't becuase my voice is horrible. But hey. Coulda been worse. I could be very ill at the moment. Oh I am. Bugger.... Sorry, i forget this aint the Sinister counselling service :o) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Tigermilkround, and Air
by Mark 24 Jan '98

24 Jan '98

To save the bother of writing to everyone individually, just thought I'd say that anyone who has asked me for a tape, I will be sending them out as soon as I can, and hopefully all by Monday. Isn't the Air record good? My flatmate, who is normally indifferent to all my CDs, has borrowed it already. I am suspicious that a member of this list has written its review in my uni paper - not only did it get half a page of uninterrupted praise, but the headline was 'Belle-Air'. Does anyone own up? Bad news: Dubstar have postponed their Cambridge date due to food poisoning. I went to see them here two years ago and they cancelled then as well. Finally, does anyone know if B&S are touring the new album? Yours busily making tapes, Mark ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

>> That's what we really want to know. We could build up a small register of >> venues from all over who are known to have joined the cause :-) > >Do they play Belle and Sebastian in Evol? (look there is some relevance > >here) Well, I can confirm EVOL doesn't play B&S. It's shite as well (unless you like a night of Oasis and Cypress Hill) Please let us know if there are any places in countries other than the UK who would play B&S and make a night out very special. >Vinyl Tap in Leeds is selling a poster of Lazy Line Painter Jane in case >anyone's interested. A snip at seven pounds, I'm sure you'll all agree Pam Berry take note!!! What is 7 UK pounds in US Greenbacks? Love and cherish LLPJ posters, they should not have monetary value. Jeepster - What are these encoded MIME file thingies I keep receiving? For all I know I may be receiving the meaning of life, or a prize such as B&S playing in my club for nothing. 'cept I can't read them. Yours, drunk as a Lord, The Lairdster. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

this always happens, please fill in your reply-to details in your prefs. and while i'm here, if your using communicator 4, please check that the option under edit>preferences>mail&group>messages is switched to NOT send html by default. apparently this causes some people not to see your message (as was the case with jeepster and recently us). thanks david sorry for the lack of b&s content, but this is a common list problem apparently -- ******************************************************************** Belle and Sebastian Fan Club merchandise, mail-outs, chat, lyrics, poetry, fiction http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/ mailto:bluesoda@totalweb.co.uk ********************************************************************

Keith, your description of Air has certainly cleared up any doubts I may have had. That's the second time you've described something as being like John Martyn crossed with something unlikely in recent weeks. I'll have to have a listen to John Martyn sometime. Lest we forget, bashful Amanda Bergman is always talking about her Spanish homework, so I think she can be added to the list of people getting a big hug from Elizabeth, like it or not. I am now using Outlook Express. Good old Microsoft, the Mr Kipling of information technology. Mussadiq, our resident revolving wether cock, I need your address to send you this tape I've finally got round to doing. I managed not to put any Elton John on it. I've been looking at the photos on Paul's webpage today. Somebody's been cutting pictures out of magazines, haven't they?
