Sinister: Re: philly reflection
by Kara Baer 26 Oct '98

26 Oct '98

Greetings lovely people, I too am feeling sad and disapointed over the cancelation, but I got to spend the weekend with my dear friend Beth...so I'm not feeling too bitter. We were too downhearted to make the aftershow party, though. I'm glad so many of you had fun and I hope the Chicago Show goes off allright. I guess it's a trade off between what we owe the band and what the band owes us. Is it art without an audience? I just bought the Dylan "Live '66"..WOW! It's amazing. Together Dylan and his hositle admirers create something neither expected. Re the shag album: I'd have to put my vote in for this glossy compilation album called "Pure Funk" advertised on TV here in the US...nothin' like gettin' down and dirty with "Lady Marmalade," "Theme from Shaft," and "Flashlight." Love Kara "She 'Come on, Joe. You wanna give it a go?" --from Lady Maramlade I hope to see everyone in DC!! and get well wishes to Isobel. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Cinerama and Chicago (but not together)

It was their 2nd show _in the USA_. I have absolutely no idea whether the Chicago show will take place or not, but I was at Metro tonight and saw no indication (ie: signs) that the show was cancelled. Since I didn't know of Isobel's illness until after I got home, I didn't know to look. Anyone who wants to try calling them for details (as I will do tomorrow) can at (773) 549 4140. And if for some reason anyone needs to call me ("help, I'm from out-of-town and I'm at Ashland and Division and I'm lost!"), (773) 235 1649. Wishing Isobel all best towards a speedy recovery.

Sinister: TWATTYBUS playing in stores !!
by Niceaction＠aol.com 26 Oct '98

26 Oct '98

Evening all :o) Just thought i would give a quick story of how i was in my local "borders" store in Brighton, and, over the stereo comes TWATTYBUS.. Well, if you've ever heard B&S over an instore stereo you will know the excitment that came over me. I kept on walking around during "Brilliant Career" hoping to spot the employee who looks most like a B&S fan. I was just so excited !! So...... I looked around for where the speakers were, and positioned myself on a reading bench directly below a speaker. That is where I started to sign. Now, i havent got a bad voice, but its nothing like Mad Dogs. To cover my embarasment from all the people walking past, i looked around for a book, i was in the History section, so i decided on "The History of Tibet" I opened it up and looked at the words rather than read them, and continued to sing. Then, whilst BWTAS was on, a middle aged woman came up to me and started to laugh and said "Hey, cool, another Belle & Sebastian fan". She then left me to keep singing. Jamie xx Is-ob-bel she's so swell she had the flu but now she's well.!! (Well, almost) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

None

First of all, I want to say that I?m glad because Isobel?s health is good right now. The catalan spring is waiting for you and the rest of the band. In previous messages, I told you that I was creating a B&S fanzine in spanish. If anybody wants to share his creativity with some spanish people, please send me whatever you like (specially gig reviews) , it doesn?t matter if it?s written in english. Finally, a question not related with B&S. It?s about R.E.M: -I have the CD re-issue of 1986?s "Life?s rich pageant" and I think that the songs are not in the same order as they are printed. Can anyone send me privately the right order ? I bought it recently, so I?m a bit confused. Jordi. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: hello

Hi everyone, I am a new member to this list... So I dont really know any of you, but I've been reading for a while : ) I was actually wondering if anyone was going to the NYC show, because a friend of mine and I are deperately trying to get tickets. I know this is a seemingly hopeless cause, but I figured I'd ask. Anyhow, sorry to bother love dana +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Shag Album
by S. M. O. 26 Oct '98

Ive found the Cure's Disintergration to be quite a sensual mood album when the lights are low, a few candles lit and your comforter and sheets are rolled down. Ive also had fun making out to Patsy Cline. ______________________________________________________ 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".

"I must say though Scott, I've always preferred caring for those you love above leadership skills and sometimes you have to make hard decisions in upsetting circumstances that leave you open to criticism later. I had a bit much of the leadership skills from Mrs Thatcher. Just a comment. honey x" _________________________________ oh, i whole-heartedly agree with you. I wrote that assuming that isobel had the same thing that i had for two weeks- in which i had people i loved care for me alot, while also they were also able to attend to the other responsibilities in their lives. Thats all i was trying to say. And I'm also talking from behind a foggy glass of not-knowing just how bad isobel was when they made their decision- If it was something alot more urgent for care and attendance to her health than I definitely think they were in the right for cancelling- maybe i'm just relating her flu/ virus experience too much to the one I had just gotten over in philly, where i felt like pure hell in a toilet, but knowing it was the flu, didn't feel the same urgency that maybe she did, having the allergy(?) to it and all. Do you rememeber my disclaimer at the top of the email- I'm sorry if you thought i was being some general patton type of guy or something- i was really talking about the complexity of care and responsibilities that I was guessing were there in the situation. I'm talking about a care and love also that extends beyond the mircocosm of the members of the band... to us (and, please, give me some credit, i'm not saying we are more important than her health), and again, I don't know all the details of the extent of her illness. I'm just trying to open up the complexity of repsonsibility of the situation, and am not trying to oppose care and some Thatcherite expression of leadership. sincerely .scott +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I turned down dinner with Bernard Hill!
by Kevan Cooke 26 Oct '98

26 Oct '98

Hi all, Did anyone else in the UK watch the documentary about Brigitte Bardot at the weekend? Imagine if someone you had regarded as a close friend for thirty years started hanging out with the National Front and making sweeping statements condemning Arab immigrants. There's a lot of sadness in Sinisterland at the moment, but none of it can compare to the look on Jane Birkin's face when she was talking about Brigitte's recently adopted views. On a lighter note Michael Barrett made a suggestion involving myself and a one eyed milkman. This suggestion is entirely unfounded, and I buy my milk from Sainsburys anyway. Oh yeah, the Bernard Hill thing. Well, my dad was playing in a celebrities versus ordinary people type charity football match. He was captain of the ordinary people, whilst the celebrity team featured such luminaries as Zammo (from Grange Hill), Karl Howman (from Brush Strokes), and best of all Bernard Hill (star of various Alan Bleasdale things and my favourite actor). There was a post match buffet dinner and my dad asked me if I wanted to go, but it was Sunday afternoon so I had to decline. This was about ten years ago, and back then Sunday afternoons were dedicated to listening to the Top Forty on the radio.

Sinister: philly phrustration, the domestics, toronto pub ignoramus
by Goon Koch 26 Oct '98

26 Oct '98

i had such a great time this weekend that there is not even an ounce of bitter feelings about the cancellation. everything else was perfect. i picked up my tigermilk tape from the post office on my way into philly, so i heard it for the very first time on my way the show (thankyouthankyou, you know who you are). the weather was great, so waiting outside for two hours was nothing like the tortuous ordeal i had expected. my sister's bus didn't get stuck in traffic, she made it on time and she met me waiting in line exactly as planned. i got blue shirts, in XL, no less. i spent the small hours communing with wonderful sinisterines. i've got nothing to complain about. it was nice to see the outpouring of goodwill, but i can also understand the bitterness of those who invested so much. if you weren't frustrated and disappointed, there is something wrong with you, but these feelings are not really directed at the band. bad things happen to good people. i was there, but i didn't have to drive five hours and the episode is not putting me in risk of coming up short for the rent. i also have a new york ticket, so i have another chance, for which i'm very grateful. we cannot judge the band because we don't know what went on behind the scenes, but we might suggest, for future reference, that anything would have been better than nothing. a lovely alternative would have been a performance by the "domestics." that would be mr. kitchen and ms. house who are at home while belle and sebastian are touring the wild west. scheduled for release on jeepster next month: the "apron" ep, thirty minutes of katrina hoovering and david clinking glassware in the sink. killer stuff, i hear. it is easy to be forgiving and magnanimous if you weren't at the show and heard about the cancellation via an email. also, if you're condemning negativity and selfish behavior on this list, you're just preaching to the choir. i doubt that the perpetrators of boorish behavior and reprehensible demands in the trocadero crowd are on this list. oh, yes. i will be in downtown toronto tuesday and wednesday and was wondering if anyone could tell me about an interesting pub or where the good record shops are. hopefully, i will in a mood to celebrate a significant victory in my kafkaesque dealings with the u.s. immigration machine. where is this public library bar? where is there a shop with a proper selection of indiepop records? any advice would be appreciated. -goon k.- ______________________________________________________ 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".
