Sinister: Wank Album
by PJMiller 27 Oct '98

27 Oct '98

Thanks to all the champion lovers who've shared their musical sexperiences with us. Unfortunately, my religious beliefs prevent me from "doing a shag" until I meet a woman with really really massive knockers, as big as the Albert Hall, so I have to make do with putting "Popcorn" by Hot Butter on repeat and letting nature take its course. Sorry to hear about your troubles at the Metro, It's Me. I have a 1961 concert recording of blues legend Slim Harpo, called "Sting It Then! Swamp Blues Jam". The story inside the booklet is very similar to the one you tell, only with a happy ending. it sounds like shit, but apparently it's a valuable historical document. Is it one of yours? Gary, have you been getting Sarah drunk? Paul mentioned Baroness Thatcher's leadership qualities. I'd more or less forgotten all about her until I read thet Pinochet letter the other day. Amazing stuff, top comedy. How did she last so long? It all seems a very long time ago. I was going to make up some story about Isobel having been caught unawares by the lack of impurities in the Philadelphia smack supply, but I thought perhaps it wuld be more fun if we had some kind of competition to see who can come up with the most credible "real" reason for her absence. I'm sure Teddy Pendergrass was involved in some way. Maybe this is a bad idea. Oh well, back to shag albums. Julian Cope claims that "Blackdance" by Klaus Schutze was his seduction album. I bought it, just out of curiosity, and it never fails to send me to sleep. It's pretty good though - wurp-wurp-wurp - that kind of thing.

Sinister: Opinions, his fingernails
by Chris Leonard 27 Oct '98

27 Oct '98

Dear members, I know I've been quiet of late, but you see I've been busy doing things. Firstly, I feel partly responsible for this 'smut' thing that's been going on. I would just like to say thank you - I like the way I can print out emails then enjoy them even more in ten minute toilet sessions. Especially the one about the kissing orgy (I should really print out a fresh copy of that sodden manuscript, before someone notices). Secondly I'm very impressed with Wee Chris and his famous apology. Surely he is the shyest and most breakable out of all the sebastics. The boy should be sent sweeties for being so brave, and promoted to Captain Geddes your in charge now Admiral Geddes. Hmm, I'm sure they are all rather done in by now. Miss Julia and myself were shattered after a week of the UK tour, it's no wonder the belle and sebastian immune systems are faltering. I wonder if they have a communal bath after a concert like a top football team? "Stuart, the soap is stuck to your leg", Stevie would say whilst trying to dislodge the bar of Imperial Leather. "That's not the soap", Murdoch would smirk. Meanwhile some suspicious bubbles would rise in the water around the giggling Miss Martin. Thirdly, I'm finding it difficult not to have Belle and Sebastian Dreams these days. Last night I was dreaming about liquid audio streamies of Slow Graffiti. And it had rude words to the same tune. I awoke shocked, but kinda proud of my subconscious brain thoughts, don't you know. And lastly my wishes have become fishes as on Thursday night I get to see top genius of the parish and founder Incredible String Band member Robin Williamson fully in concert. Expect a full gibbering on Friday. That is all, Christopher Leonard +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Any Live Bootlegs Please???
by JaMeS 27 Oct '98

27 Oct '98

Hello there fellow Belleandsebastianites, Please please please does anyone have any tapes of the Manchester Town hall gig on Sunday Evening 27th(?) December 1997 or the recent Shepherd's Bush Empire gig on the 7th September 1998? Am willing to sacrifice my own mother to get copies of these gigs. I can offer copies of the stuff I have: I picked up a bootleg Tigermilk CD with 8 bonus tracks on it-the 2 Radcliffe sessions they did, including Dog on Wheels, The State I'm In, Judy, Like Dylan, I could be dreaming, seeing other people (slow version), We rule the school, and modern rock song. Ive also got the 4 songs from the last session as far as i know (llpj,seymour stein,slow graffitti,sleep the clock around), and the Christmas Show they did for Radio Scotland last year ( though Im missing the start with Isobel-can anyone help me here??). emails please, ...JaMeS... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: last chance for wonderful company in new york!
by Seamus Campbell 27 Oct '98

27 Oct '98

well, i leave saturday for new york, and it struck me that that was soon enough that i should try again to find another place or two to stay while i'm there. so again: my friend and i are coming out for 10 days to go to belle and sebastian, cmj, museums, and anything else that strikes our fancy. we're nice, reasonable kids who are perfectly willing to exchange dinner for floor space or something resembling it. if there any nights between the 31st and the 8th (except maybe the 5th) that this would work for you, drop me an e-mail. you should probably give me a phone number, too, so i can just call and confirm things. looking forward to some twattybus hospitality... which i will of course be delighted to return when listees are coming out to olympia and seattle... seamus +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Re:Shag Album
by S. M. O. 27 Oct '98

Okay! So two more albums came to mind that are great for snogging/shagging : Booker T and the MGs (Green Onions) and Ride I think anyone who would listen to Alanis Morrissette has some psychological problems that need to be addressed. I mean, come on, thats the kind of music you here when your on when of those carnival rides..talk about a nightmare. Anybody know of any of good Canadian music worth noting? Its about time.... ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Things couldn't've gone much worse
by It's me! 27 Oct '98

27 Oct '98

Needless to say I'd been looking forward to seeing B&S for a long time. This may have been part of the problem. I got to Metro a little _too_ early for my own good. If you know me (and few of you do) you know that my passion is recording the concerts I go to. I've been doing it longer than some of you have been walking. This is a hobby that is completely harmless because I don't allow my tapes to go to anyone but the band and occasionally people I've come to trust implicitly. Many musicians around the world are very happy with what I do, but that doesn't mean a thing to folks who don't know me. And occasionally my stupidity from the distant past comes back to haunt me. When I got to Metro I immediately found out from Neil that the band didn't want any taping. OK, that's fine. Maybe I could explain my situation in detail to Stuart, and maybe he might let me record the show. You see, there have been a few times where a tour manager has said "no" when the band would've given an enthusiastic "yes." So I went upstairs to where soundcheck was taking place ("Seeing Other People" about eight times, "Chickfactor," and one I didn't recognise) to give Isobel a get-well gift and wait to talk to Stuart. The fellow who was stage managing was not to happy about my being there (I've never done anything to cause him grief), but Neil was very kind. He said that Metro wanted to toss me, but he told them to at least allow me to see the show. He could tell that I was a fan and didn't think that I should miss out simply because I wanted to record and got there early. When the stage manager asked if I had a ticket I said no because I was fortunate enough to know Matthew and Anthony from the Momus camp who put me on the guest list. Usually that's no big deal with Metro and me. I get there early regularly to set up my mics. It's much harder to do so after the doors have opened. Toward the end of B&S' soundcheck one of the new Metro goons (the security has a high turn over) asked me if I had a pass. I said no and followed with, "who does?" Well apparently others did (I didn't see any), and this was reason enough for me to have to wait outside. OK, fine. I'll come in with everyone else and see if I can talk to Stuart then. After a half hour waiting in line with some of my friends, I was told that I was not to be allowed into the venue at all. Apparently the owner heard about what happened, he decided that I wasn't gonna even get to see the show. I continued to wait outside to thank Neil for sticking up for my love for the band. He had no idea I was not going to be allowed in. I don't know if he continued to try to get me in, but he was most kind to say that he'd try. I think we both knew it was a lost cause. There was a time (nearly ten years ago!) that I had a problem with the management at Metro, but I thought it was all water under the bridge at this point. They just wanted to make my life miserable; and, in a sense, they did. I feel very fortunate that I was able to witness soundcheck at the very least and to cheer up Isobel a little. But now I'll probably have to wait for years before I get the opportunity to see them again. This was worse than if they cancelled *sigh* Basically I'm just sayin' Metro is bad. They have a good reputation in the industry, but there was no reason for me to be banned from the show. I hope everyone else had a good time.

Sinister: i caught it from a cello
by Mphintz＠aol.com 27 Oct '98

27 Oct '98

On Sunday I played in a children's concert. I thought it was a concert _for_ children, but it turned out to be a concert with teenage soloists. I was a bit disappointed, but decided to stay and play because, um, I was getting paid. I was slightly afraid that the cello section would turn ill like Isobel, and one by one they would hobble off the stage to a waiting ambulance. Perhaps what she had was only affecting cellists. Of course, since I play the bass, I was afraid I might catch this cello disease because I play in the same clef as a cello! Luckily, all of us made it through the performance and are fine. Yes, I resubbed because I couldn't bear to think of the seven hundred of you having a big party without me.

The best shag album? I would say it is a tie between Catherine Wheel's "Like Cats & Dogs" and perhaps any Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album. Yessss, that would be it, thank you and goodnight. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Speaking of dogs on wheels, The Inbreds have a song called Prince, about a dog on wheels. Awesome Tune!!! Also, NME had an article on their web site about the concert cancellations, and they said that the Toronto show will not be rescheduled!!! How reliable this is, I don't know.
