Sinister: happy bunny thanks
by Nicole Elger 30 Jan '98

30 Jan '98

Hi, A big thank you and a kiss on the elbow to Leslie Chinea who generously mailed me one of those cool double-sided B&S posters. Now the big question is what side to display -- the IYFS cover or the cool ad for gigs in Edinburgh and Glasgow? I feel lucky, oh so lucky .. (sung in my head to the tune of West SIde Story's "I feel pretty".) Hey, someone mentioned musicals, how about that for a B&S remake? Ooh, or the Sound of Music! B&S frolicking through the hills .. the religious aspects .. the puppet show .. the fact that Isobel looks a bit like Julie Andrews to me. Genevieve, make sure to check your snail mail often, as I'm sure half the guys on this list have squished themselves into boxes with air-holes and mailed themselves off to you, and they are probably eager to get out and stretch. (Hey, maybe that's why the list has been slow lately: too many people trapped in boxes!) I think there should be a French-Canadian remake of the great (but short-lived) US TV show "My So-Called Life." You would be the perfect Angela (Claire Danes) and your record store crush boy sounds just right for the part of gorgeous-but-aloof Jordan. Instead of sneaking out to go to a Buffalo Tom concert, you'd be going to see B&S, bien sur! HoneyPaul, how's the baby photo project going? I've had a look at the People page on your site and I must say, you all are cute but rather mature-looking babies! And Honey, don't you ever display in color? ;-) So MTV's Real World is filming here in Seattle now, kind of strange. Last night I almost went out for a drink to this bar a few blocks from my apartment but decided against it. I find out this morning that the Real World cast and crew showed up there and sort of took over the place. Hmm, close call. Well, as long as they don't try to perpetuate some dumb grunge stereotype, ugh. Oooh.. nice mellow song on the radio now, what is this .. "It's just another lovely day" by Ben Harper. Weird, I could swear he was saying another "lonely" day. I like that better. Hmm, what else .. Thanks to SDM (way too many boys with his first name connected to this list!) for more great tapes in the past month, including UK radio sessions and a backup copy of TM to ease my fears of ruining mine some day (gasp!) - Nicole, dreaming while awake ps. Hey, Katrina: Did you get that B&S Puncture article I faxed? If you hated it, remember that I was merely the messenger .. ------ nicolina(a)drizzle.com ------- "Whatever it is that pulls the pin, that hurls you past the boundaries of your own life into a brief and total beauty, even for a minute, it is enough." - jeannette winterson ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sorry about writing the wrong name. I am very bad about names and I was trying to rely on my own feeble memory. As you see, it has failed me again. Better luck next time.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Let's hear chatter
by PKHINTZ＠aol.com 30 Jan '98

30 Jan '98

I am a bit surprised how many posting I do not receive when no one is discussing Air or Edinburgh clubs, or for that matter, lemurs--I have not heard a thing about those little primates on this list in months. So here is a quote to discuss, borrowed from Puncture magazine's article on B&S (the editors thought it was important because it is in bold type): "For many, idolizing Belle and Sebastian is an offensive move--a way to say that traditional bands are still worthy of debate and attention, and that their traditionally structured songs and sense of narrative are still relevant at a time when these very notions are being messed with by electronic music." As a side note, that was written by Elisabeth Vincentelli. You may or may not remember her as the reviewer of _IFYS_ in Rolling Stone. Personally I can not say that I agree with that statement; I have never considered my adoration of B&S a vote for guitar bands, as Ms. V seems to be attempting to divide music listeners into two camps. Are we really clinging to the last vestiges of personal folk whilst the radio soundscape is being fractured into anonymous pounding dance rhythms? Or am I making this too simple an argument? Living and loving Matthew ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: toy suicide pact
by J.B.Hunt 29 Jan '98

29 Jan '98

Does anyone know anything about a B+S song called Toy Suicide Pact? Last April, around Glasgow's underground system, there were posters advertising the release of Dog On Wheels, and they basically consisted of a poem called Toy Suicide Pact, with a release date for DOW tagged onto the bottom. I can't remember much about it now, but having found Sinister I thought I'd throw it open. Uh, also... is it true that a Charlie Brown film was scheduled for the matinee performance in Manchester? When I heard this I lost the power of my legs, I was so excited. Is it just me, or are Belle and Sebastian extremely... Peanuts? I mean, the very first time I heard Seeing Other People I immediately thought of Linus and Lucy by Vince Guaraldi, which is the groovy tune that always plays in Peanuts films when it's time for Peanuts dancing. Ah well. Also, would anyone like to trade recordings of B+S radio sessions for a recording of Tigermilk? JBH ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

-----Original Message----- De: northy <rnorth(a)amos.co.uk> Para: sinister(a)majordomo.net <sinister(a)majordomo.net> Fecha: martes 27 de enero de 1998 23:24 Asunto: Sinister: Reel around the fountain? http://moz.pair.com/information/stephane/covers.htm go to this link - scroll down to REEL AROUND THE FOUNTAIN it says that Belle and Sebastian have done a slower version of this song!!! Is this new news? Not to veterans of the indie wars like the lovely Andy Dean, who has a lengthy review of the gigs featuring said song on his website. Northy, I don't think you've read the entire Belle and Sebastian archive, have you? I bet you can't answer these questions: 1) Where did the concerts take place? 2) Who did Andy go with? 3) How did they travel? 4) Was it reasonably priced? 5) It was Andy's "first time". First time what? 6) Did he enjoy it? I know all this because it was one of the first things I read when I first lost my Internet virginity. Such was my excitement that I gleefully printed it out, and found it when we moved house. This is also an opportunity to point out my new e-mail address. Presuming the bloody thing works.
