Sinister: Do I really have this much time on my hands???
by Matthew A. Neimark 15 Jan '98

15 Jan '98

OK, this is the letter I'm sending to Jeb Brien, producer of Sessions at W. 54. I just have his fax number, so I can't really send a formal posted letter. January 15, 1998 Jeb Brien Producer, Sessions at W. 54 Dear Mr. Brien, First of all the existence of Sessions at West 54th is in my opinion an excellent and unique program which gives the national community the ability to appreciate lesser known musical acts. However, I would like to express my dissapointment as to the cancellation of the Belle and Sebastian sessions. They are an excellent popular music band who, in my opinion, are unique even for Sessions at W. 54 since they are very new and might appeal to a slightly younger audience (the comparable band in my mind that you did air was the Tindersticks). I had been extraordinarily excited about the prospects of seeing them on television since they are from Scotland, and have only played in the US on one occasion (which was when their session was recorded). I do hope that others like myself will send you letters in support of Belle and Sebastian, and that you will eventually reconsider airing the program. Sincerely, Matthew A. Neimark ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Newcastle B&S fans... please?
by Acrylica 15 Jan '98

15 Jan '98

Hiya, I'm going off the list soon, so if anyone can help me here I'd love a quick reply! OK, I live in Newcastle and I don't know of anyone who's even heard of B&S, let alone likes them (I can't convert them - goths, death-metallers, you name them, they're my friends!). But, my friend saw a boy hanging around he residential bit at Northumbria Unviversity the other day, in the same B&S cartoon shirt that I've got. Now, I was dead chuffed about this, because statistically there should only be like one B&S fan every 30 miles or so ! Soo... does anyone who likes B&S (well, obviously u must to be reading this!) live in Newcastle or know of anyone who does who likes them? Thanks for listening - I'm gonna miss u all when I go! Lots of love and (geordie) iguanas... Acrylica sallydoll(a)lineone.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Pastels? Shite more like
by Keith Watson 15 Jan '98

15 Jan '98

Oh, and can anybody help me out? Suggestions for things to ask Steven Pastel tonite, when I've to interview him for the paper, would be much appreciated, so's I don't just blurt out crap like "Gee whizz, you know Steve malkmus, wow". I was toying with something to the effect of "How do you manage to get people to buy your records after 10 years of proven shiteness?" But I've decided to stick with the more friendly "What's your favourite colour and food?" Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: prospero nuevo!?!
by Cairns 15 Jan '98

15 Jan '98

I think that means "happy new year!" in Mexican or something, at least that's what my baby brother put on all his Xmas cards. S'nice to be back on the list again after the holidays, with a whole new list of (increasingly anal) topics to wade through. A couple of thoughts: A big hello to all the sweet kids I met in Manchester, and to all those I didn't 'cause I was working both afternoons. Saturday night sure was pretty shambolic, though still perversely enjoyable, but, jeez, Sunday was something, Seems the whole "Was it crap/a rip-off/illegal/a disgrace?" angle's been covered while I was away, and that I may be an easy pleased, indie-schmindie, hopelessl devotee, but I'd happily pay twenty-odd quid again and again for them to start playing 'Modern Rock Song' as I ran in from the cold, and for Stuart M to sing the line about Mark Twain just as we arrived, breathless, at the top of the stairs. Please don't anyone rise to the bait and write in to the weeklies about the bad reviews. Tony Naylor's Saturday piece was pretty spot-on in parts, and Steven Wells... Don't hate him 'cause of his abonimable taste. Don't hate him 'cause he thinks he's the Bill Hicks of music journalism. Just despise him for inflicting the terrible mugshot damage above his column every week, in all its mono-brow glory. Tweezers, man, tweezers. Oh, and can anybody help me out? Suggestions for things to ask Steven Pastel tonite, when I've to interview him for the paper, would be much appreciated, so's I don't just blurt out crap like "Gee whizz, you know Steve malkmus, wow".

Sinister: Lip Trumpet
by Chris Leonard 15 Jan '98

15 Jan '98

See if your singing "Judy.." to yourself do you apply lip trumpet? Or is this just me? I saw a fellow singing in the Scotia bar once with his guitar. He broke into the most fantastic lip trumpet solo, in the style of Miles Davis. That's the only time i've Been to the Scotia. The singer was fantastic but I nearly got a doin for not knowing the half time Celtic score. I can do the start of Minnie the Moocher like the Blues Brothers. I can also do a wah-wah effect. Is lip trumpet how stuart tells Mick what he wants to hear? Or does he notate? Hmm i notice Isobel has a wee music pad in front of her in one of the photees. Does she jam good? With weird and gilly? It's a bit quite today after last nights madness, isn't it? I've nearly comprised this whole letter with questions, haven't I? Love without sound? > Tag, Susannah, Keith, Peter Miller and Chris Leonard have > carte-blanche to post stuff about their hamsters because they make me > giggle. They have earned their spurs. And I bet we're all wicked in bed too, eh big boy? What does carte-blanche mean? I used to have a hamster called Tom Jones. I had it for a year, then I lost interest in it and all its fur fell out. A friend of mine has had 9 hamsters, and they all killed themselfs. One of them impaled itself on a bit of cage that it had chewn through and bent to a dangerous angle. Another of them chewed through a power cable. Johnny 'Belle' Mathis ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
