Sinister: Conversion: I have seen the light
by PKHINTZ 12 Jan '98

12 Jan '98

I have been attempting to convert a friend. I put "Seeing Other People" and "Get Me Away..." on a mix tape for her about six months ago. She was not too impressed; she thought the piano intro on "Seeing..." sounded too much like Peanuts music. I told her yes that is why I like it. To continue the process I listen to Belle and Sebastian whenever we are in the car together. She usually makes no remark at all. In a tiny breakthrough, she thought that "Me and the Major" was a good song. She did not fall in love with the rest of the songs still. In the car a few weeks ago she thought "Tigermilk" album sounded better than "If You're Feeling Sinister" on a whole. She said she wished, sincerely or not, that all the songs sounded like "Electronic Renaissance." Today we listened to "Dog On Wheels" in the car, but once again, she did not seem impressed. I think I will start to have to accept this situation. I was also thinking of sending a tape of Belle and Sebastian songs to my brother. When he was my age, 19, he listened to the Go-Betweens, the Smiths, and assorted bands. But he lost interest and became a minister. Though he has a sense of humour, I'm not too sure how he would take the religion in the songs. He would probably just humour his little brother and tell me he liked it. But his eight month old son, is it never too early? Living and loving and rambling Matthew ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I hope our beloved monsters of rock, lords of sleaze and kings of debauchery become rich and famous, it's their Ffate and yours is to whine and tell everyone how you knew them first. ANYWAY as much as I hate the "I'm a bigger fan and was there first" indie snobbery to which Laurie refers, and as much as I wish our beloved B&S all the success they undoubtedly deserve, I have to go with Northy here... how tragic it would be should a fate befall them similar to that of the Song 2 phenomena!!!!!! Eek imagine that, Gwen Stefani wannabes with their Live 105/KROQ t-shirts showing up at gigs to mosh their way through "Century of Fakers"... Hmm it's one of the better things about living in America, having all these brilliant British bands all to "yourself", you know?:-) tata sweetie darlings tarabelle ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sometimes (since they're aren't many similar fans) I feel I'm providing for the bands...I better buy a Shed Seven cd soon...so Rick Witter will be able to eat! (but he' will probably just buy another pack of cigarettes...I don't think he eats anyways...waif-boy) I am helping Jack..I bought their cd AND vinyl! but I just don't have enough money to buy all the cds that I want,so me and my friends make copies..and also,beautiful beautiful singles are expensive here cause all the ones I want are always import... What about if you buy a cd from a second hand store...I bought IYFS and the 3 eps (which were all new) from Spinables (the gorgeous clerks! THey tempt you!) I guess that didn't give B&S anything....maybe Stuart bought some socks..... >> >>Date: Thu, 8 Jan 1998 21:07:45 +0000 (GMT) >> >>From: Stuart Gardiner <skg21(a)hermes.cam.ac.uk> >> >>Subject: Sinister: All sorts really... >> >>Stuart G >> >>The tallest man in the world, apparently... don't feel bad,my friends call me the tinyest person! >Date: Mon, 12 Jan 1998 11:12:47 +0000 (GMT) >From: "A.M.
