Posters in an NME comp, (the only thing I've ever won, incidentally), and when I got them through the post, there was a note attatched from Stone Immaculate (Press and Promotion) who obviously do the band's press and, er, promotion. No e-mail adress, but a phone number; 0171 131 6359. Oh dear, I shouldn't really have posted that. I won't win any more competitions, I feel. By the way, while I'm here can anyone help me? While walking around in the biggest flares that the small town beatings will allow for, the thought hit me; Which movie is Dylan in? and which Dylan? If it's the hippy rabbit from the magic roundabout, I'd definitely be interested in seeing it... Sorry if that's been asked before, but it's pissing me off now, and I need to know.

Sinister: Only tangential B&S references, but jolly good entertainment all the same...
by ELIZABETH DAPLYN 08 Jan '98

08 Jan '98

Hallo peeps! 'Tis Auntie Lizzie here once again to brighten up thy day. And you'd better appreciate it, or else... Reasons To Be Cheerful: a) I am now able to make copies of Tigreleche for those as wish it (may blessings rain down twice daily at the shrine of Sarah, Our Lady of the Stereo) and also of the Radio 1 session tracks in all their glory. If anyone wants a copy email me: I may even do you a nice laser-printed cover with a twee Manga picture on it, if you're nice to me. Repeat after me: "Steve Lamacq is a twat and a rotter of the first water and should have his tongue ripped out" (not really - I do not advocate the use of violence to resolve any situation, kiddies). Then his freakishly-deep voice would ring out nay more o'er the closing bars of many a fine session tune, nor would we be subjected to "Hear it on The Evening Session! On Radio One!! First!!! (**EXPLOSION**)" every 12½ minutes of the program. Silence Is Golden... b) I bought "The Esteemed Orange Juice" best of compilation t'other day for £3.99 in Our Price. £3.99! Pearls before swine or what? Not that I consider myself or any other frequenter of the fine chain-store to be of the porcine persuasion, it's just that this seems a fantashtic bargain, don't ye think? Ah, the gentle, soothing strains of Rip It Up and Consolation Prize... c) Rialto's new single Untouchable is out this week (Hurrah!) and a finer bunch of Roxy Music obsessives it would be harder to imagine. And the lead singer's got a better voice than Bryan Ferry. And a better fringe. Wow! Two drummers! Wonders will never cease, eh? d) I saw yon fillum Small Faces on the box the other night, and a very fine piece of cinema it is too. Teenage reminiscences of vicious youth-gang warfare in 60's Glasgee? Yes please! Ooh, Joseph Macfaydden...wash that boy and bring him to my tent. Now, sadly, all good things must come to an end. Tata. Lots of something, Liz.

Sinister: Losing All Your CDs(No B&S content)
by Andrew Hung Nguyen 08 Jan '98

08 Jan '98

Recently my mom threatened to sell all of my CDs unless I cleaned them up! The CDs were cluttering up the family which contains our big stereo system with big speakers. After the threat, I quickly proceeded to clean them up in fear of losing my favorite CDs especially IFYS. So I was wondering how everyone else would feel if someone threw away or sold all your CDs? Because I was utterly frightened!!! Andy B-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Because I was utterly frightened!!! Andy B-) A friend of mine in Derby a number of years ago was playing his records a bit too loudly for his dad's liking one day. After a couple of unheeded threats to chuck the lot of them out the window, his dad suddenly appeared in his room and various Sarah 7"s, Weddoes LPs and Housemartins promos started flying out the window. Chris, the friend concerened, pleaded to no avail and had to run downstairs to try and retreive them as best he could! This, thankfully, has never happened to me, but I fell out with my girlfriend a while back and stayed at a mate's house for a few days. When I came back, she told me how she almost went to Avalanche Records to sell of some of my CDs - including all the B&S pieces. Now, I consider myself a pacifist - but this just may have sent me over the edge.... Brian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Mad Malky can't be in "the Strap" coz he's my mate Kevin McKidd (and the closest I'll ever get to showbiz stardom). He did however once sing in hard-rockin' Elgin pop combo Plan 9. Kev was also Tommy in Trainspotting and that year he also appeared in the Royal Shakespeare Company AND the Father Ted Christmas special.

Sinister: Belle & Sebastian fans in stranger than usual places
by Torbjörn Thorsén 08 Jan '98

08 Jan '98

As for the popularity of the fab seven, be on the lookout for what may come of the rather strange pairing of Belle & Sebastian and Swedish Straight Edge frontrunners Refused. After nonstop tours in the hardcore communities all over the globe and more albums than you can shake a stick at Refused might be in for a change of pace. It seems that Belle & Sebastian have taken over the top spot in the bands tourbus hall of fame. Beating out Bad Brains, Slayer and Earth Crisis. Dennis Lyxen - singer and all-out-fab hardcorekid resently got hold of a tape of Belle & Sebastian faves and pursued to order all the Belle & Sebastian releses he could get hold of in Norther Sweden. Just goes to show the depth and width of the Belle & Sebastian mayhem. take care / Toby Thorsen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: Record shop stunna in 'gagging for it' shock confession

A date between Stuart Murdoch and some 'looker' out of vinyl exchange hey? Continuing in our series of Fantasy B&S Roleplays (Patent no 10383) I wonder how that would go? Lyn: hey Stuart, i wouldn't mind a bit of ;-) ;-) you know, if you've got the inclination Stuart M: Och, dunnae what you're on about you wee lassie Lyn: Well, you know, a bit of how's your father? SM : Aye, he's alright man, Lyn: No, thats not what I meant !, I mean, how do you fancy sowing your wild oats? SM: Aye! now I know where you're gannin' , I like a nice steamy bowl of porridge in the morning Lyn: I think you've got the wrong end of the stick, Stuart, basically what I'm saying is do you wanna quick one? SM: Och, its gonna have to be quick, I've gotta nip off for choir practice in a wee while *laaaah* Lyn: Ahh great, now we're getting somewhere? SM: A quick one what? Lyn: look, Stuart, do you fancy a shag or don't you? SM: *legs it out of door with frightened look on his face, dives on to bus clutching harmonica, only pausing to grab some fish and chips and pay the leccy bill, and ends up sitting next to some blind/deaf/dumb girl in a holey jumper.* Basically Lynn, I think you're better off fancying Chris 'Cassanova' Geddes.

Sinister: voting thing on the fanclub site
by David & Katrina 08 Jan '98

08 Jan '98

I've just realised that while only a few of you have voted you can actually sabotage the stats! i.e. if you don't believe State I Am In is better than Judy And The Dream Of Horses, just give State a mark of '0' and Judy a mark of '10'. Then when you view the stats State has crashed from 2nd to 9th and Judy has risen from 6th to 2nd! But this will only work whilst there are few votes, so if you want a laugh vote soon, as once over 20 people have voted your vote won't seriously effect the stats like that. david kitchen @ the fanclub -- ******************************************************************** Belle and Sebastian Fan Club merchandise, mail-outs, chat, lyrics, poetry, fiction http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/ mailto:bluesoda@totalweb.co.uk ******************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

It's just a general - if slightly outdated term, to describe the gangs (the Police, one bloke in particular essentially smashed the gang problem in Glasgow in the late sixties), it's quite cute that Mogwai have chosen that name I think.
