Sinister: eureka
by superbob 22 Jan '98

22 Jan '98

alright, everyone....and especially that one who wanted ideas of promotional stuff. i was driving in my car today and a little bubble rose above my head that said "eureka", because i know the best idea for promoting the next album. listen up: the first thousand copies come with a cd of tigermilk.....and only 1000 copies. no more. ever. that way we can get our hands on it, and it would still remain a rare collectable sort of thing. i think i deserve a nobel prize. now on to other business: i can't begin to name my favorite b&s moments. so here's some of my other favorite stuff: 1. when i wake up the morning and i go downstairs to get a cold glass of juice or milk or whatever, and i drink it and i can feel it coating my stomach because it's the first thing to go down there in a while. 2. going over a little dip in the road and you can feel your stomach rise like you're on a rollercoaster. 3. when it's raining and the sun's still shining bright. i love that. 4. when my philosophy professor gets all heated up and starts freely using the adjective "fucking". and sometimes he'll say "jesus christ" as an expression and you can see the ears melting off the holy rollers in the front of the class. there's more. but not now. i gotta pace myself. i do have one b&s question though, and i'll try to ask it delicately as possible. does the term "on the rag" mean the same thing in scotland as it does here in america? here, it's a crude term for saying a given girl is going through "that time of the month". i'm just curious for no particualr reason. oh and one more question...is stuart a very religious man? i read that thing where he went to church, and i've read a couple of other things, or is he just fascinated with the idea of religion? curious again for no particular reason. bye. brad ********************************************* that smile on your face i tried to erase that smile on your face but a kiss was not the answer a drunken kiss was not the answer (bill callahan) ********************************************* ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: sinister democracy
by PKHINTZ 22 Jan '98

22 Jan '98

I must admit that I had some difficulties with voting for Belle and Sebastian songs. Let's say I do not particularly care for song X, X, or X (titles witheld to avoid shocking controversey), I still probably like those songs more than any song by band X, X, or X (names witheld for above reason). I did give some songs deliberately low scores because it would be quite silly if we had a vote and every song scored a ten. Some songs just have to lose. I prefer to think that the number scale was really with a decimal, lowest score nine, then if song X were given only a 5, it would truly be a 9.5. I do want every song to be a winner in some way.

Sinister: on the tip of my tongue (in other words, drivel...)
by Matt Locke 22 Jan '98

morning all.... (performs knee bending action simialr to 'bobbys' in 60's British movies...) just a few things that have been running 'round my head... (what song was that from?)

When I lived in Glasgow, I'm sure I remember seeing 'Le Pastie de la Bourgeiosie' graffittied on the side of the Gregs Bakers opposite HIllhead underground.

Sinister: problems, siniestro
by Arantxa Ubieta / Peter Miller 22 Jan '98

22 Jan '98

I've just changed over to the Microsoft Internet mail program. Not my choice. Problem is, all messages from Jeepster Recordings (Katrina, I suppose) appear to be completely blank. Is it just me, or is something wrong at Jeepster Corner? I am particularly distressed as one of them was an answer to the message in Spanish... Dear Alberto, There are about three or four Spanish speakers on the list (or there were) including someone form Barcelona, I think, and Carlos from Valencia. There is also a Basque in Italy, called Iker, if I remember correctly. His mum is from San Sebastian, which is near where I live, in the delightful town of Renteria. You may have heard of it. (That was a joke, sorry Paul, I'm doing quite well) The concert in Barcelona was indeed "de puta madre" and "la hostia", "guay de paraguay", "una autentica pasada, tio" and "casi una experiencia religiosa" (that was another joke) You're better off asking someone better equipped than myself for a tape. There are radio sessions and other exciting things out there that I haven't got. Tag also speaks Spanish and is a good friend of Bigas Luna. (damn!) ahem... (Si no entiendes todo este rollo que te estoy metiendo, mandame un mensaje y lo intentaré poner en castellano. No tengo ni puta idea de Catalan, pero aupa el Valencia. Y aupa el Alaves) Football fans the world over will be amused to hear that Real Madrid got knocked out of the cup last night by a second division team. Over two legs. Good, eh? The Nick Drake book is very nice so far. He was indeed a star of track, if not field, particularly the hundred yard dash. And he played rugby and hockey. Wonders will never cease.

Hola a todo el mundo Creo que seria interesante que los hispanoparlantes que estamos en esta mailing-list nos dieramos a conocer. Puede haber mucha gente (de hecho la hay) que la barrera del idioma les impide acceder a material (intercambio de cintas), del cual gracias a esta lista ya dispongo (Thanks, Chirs). Toda la gente que hableis castellano, por favor, escribid al menos un mensaje para dar fe de que estais hay. P.D.: Alberto, a que te refieres con lo de Biarritz? Adios ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Air review
by northy 22 Jan '98

22 Jan '98

OK I bought Air today hmm.....It is a brilliant album, well worth getting, but I just can't describe it. You can definitely hear a real French sound in it (not just 'cause of the French words!). Sexy Boy is not really representative of the album sound and IMHO is not the stand out track. 'Remember', a synth-voice French sounding song is the best for me. Also the guest singer on a few of the tracks sounds exactly like Beth Gibbons from Portishead and is also called Beth! Northy Score: 8/10 well done NME. Spot on!

Sinister: Perfume.
by ben ferneyhough 22 Jan '98

22 Jan '98

The Patrick Suskind 'Perfume' book was also the favourite book of Kurt Cobain by the way, _and_ Andy Bell of Erasure. What a coincidence eh ? it's a good read too. Why I remember all this useless info I know not. To get some B&S content into this mail, David & Katrina; are you making anymore 'Judy...' mugs, or are they sadly a thing of the past ? Any news on the thieving robbers too ? Ben. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
