Sinister: jeepster-news: CHICAGO GIG ON - ISOBEL'S CONDITION IMPROVING
by David & Katrina 25 Oct '98

25 Oct '98

hi again, we're back with another update for everyone stateside and with tickets for the US dates. we've just spoken to the band and can now confirm a few details: firstly the Chicago gig and the remainding dates on the tour are all on. the band are at the moment heading to chicago and intend to play the gig when they get there. secondly, isobel's state has improved loads, but she's still ill. she's come off the anti-biotics that had ruined the last two dates and has returned to her prior state of simply being infected with a stomach flu. obviously this isn't the best situation, but she is able to keep her food down and is apparently in high spirits (whilst being off-colour!). she will be on stage at the chicago gig (providing nothing else untoward happens to her). we've had a few people request where they can send their get well wishes for Isobel to. for all the stateside listees, it's probably best to send them to Matador (c/o Kris Gillespie, 625 Broadway, 12th floor, NYC, NY, 10012). for everyone else, you can send anything to us at Jeepster and we'll pass them on for when she gets back (217 Canalot, 222 Kensal road, London, W10 5BN). thirdly, for all of the people who attended the Philly show and were due to attend Toronto, refunds will be supplied by contacting the company who sold you your tickets. the band have again expressed their deep regret at not being able to play, they know that some of you travelled a very long way to attend the gigs and apologise. chris was incredibly brave to walk on stage at Philly and to say 'sorry', i can only imagine how harrowing his apology was. the band do want to express this apology again, they are very sorry. any updates on this will appear on the news page at http://www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian/news/index.shtml cheers David & Katrina ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .this message came from the jeepster records news list . .visit our site at http://www.jeepster.co.uk for more info . . . .to unsubscribe yourself from this list send a message to . .majordomo(a)jeepster.co.uk with the words 'unsubscribe news' in the body. .of the message . . . .any problems? then simply send a mailto:owner-news@jeepster.co.uk . ----------------------------------------------------------------------- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: my brain hurts
by Alix Campbell 25 Oct '98

25 Oct '98

Oh, another migraine day. i lay down to try to alleviate the pain and fell into a coma-like state for a while. i wake up to find i had been dribbling all over the sleeping bag which i'm using to supplement my duvet, now the weather's gone cold. i just have to keep telling myself that i'm not well, and shouldn't trust myself, when i get like that, but it's ever so depressing. anyway, i've recovered now, though i do feel as though i may get another one if i don't watch out, but then i've recently become a very big hyperchondriac. thoughts of hernias, brain haemorrages, meningitis, encephalitis lethargica, and random death keep bothering me. how can i stop being so fucking morbid? it's the manics fan in me - yep there's a tiny little goth girl inside of me, waxing poetical about 1993. i like to hoover too. about arab straps, i thought they were for horses - ie arab horses - not people, also they're a photo of one in select this month - it's a bit of an anticlimax to look at though. still can't think of any damn SMUT. well, there is something, but there's no way i'm sharing it. alix alix alix alix alxi alxia xlia xlaix alix alxia xlia xlaix alxial xlaixl alix 'Horses and women, that's what i like' well..no. Horses are over-rated( i *know*, i used to dream about them a lot, and now i know they're hyped), and women, well, women tend to be feminists. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

None

At the risk of being redundant, after so many people have spoken so eloquently on the matter: A band is a band. It lives as one, travels as one, plays as one, gets sick as one. The band did the right thing by cancelling the show, though it is a shame that so many people were inconvenienced. At least those people didn't have to be rushed to the hospital in a foreign country in the middle of a tour to play for hysterical fans. And on a more trivial note: even if they were to consider playing without a member, it's not as if Isobel is just some guitarist who can learn the songs in a minute (and believe me, I mean no offense to anyone by that). How many people play cello and sing like her? Now that my two cents are in I do hope Isobel is better and that the rest of the tour proceeds smoothly, for band and fans alike. aaron === atieger(a)rocketmail.com auger/anvil "So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear and your tears cannot bind me anymore And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes I'll kiss you and then I'll be gone" --Tom Waits _____________________________________________________________________ Sent by RocketMail, free e-mail for the planet. * Visit & explore Cybersmith at http://www.cybersmith.com * Get your web-based e-mail at http://www.rocketmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Thought there was love in everything and everyone...
by Reid Dossinger 25 Oct '98

25 Oct '98

Occasionally, I worry about us. I was lying in bed this morning, basking in the thrill of getting a whole extra hour today, when I thought, "I bet people are arguing about this cancellation thing"...about whether people should be allowed to get pissed about it, or whether our thoughts or prayers should be with Isobel. If I can throw in my opinion, I think this is a case for the corny-but-true "put yourself in their shoes" cheese. On one hand, I can't imagine how sick with worry the members of B&S must be for their bandmate and friend. Which is a situation we've all been in at some point or another, and when a good friend is in the hospital, you're pretty prone to tunnel vision, and it's not likely that while they were waiting in the hospital to hear about Isobel's condition that they were wondering how far people had driven for the show, or how long people had been waiting for it (and how excited they had been). It's completely understandable. But so is the fact that people who had made a huge event out of the shows (like I have) are inclined to have the first reaction of anger and to expect Belle and Sebastian to try to give them at least something. So all I'm saying is, try and understand how sad and scary it is for Belle and Sebastian (especially to be going through this in a strange place), but also accept that different people have different ways of dealing with disappointment, and for some, it's anger. So just let people vent a little, a'fore people start coming out swinging. There...now kiss and make up. Now kiss again. Now with a little tongue. And pull your bodies a little closer. Do you mind if I turn this camera on? You're so naive, Reid +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The Show Mustn't Necessarily Go On!
by PJMiller 25 Oct '98

25 Oct '98

Those of you who were lucky enough to be at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert at Wembley will no doubt remember how disconcerting it was to see Queen without Freddie, even though they had replacements with the talent and charisma of, for example, George Michael and David Bowie. Surely it is a little churlish to expect Belle and Sebastain to play without Isobel Campbell, the nearest thing they have to Freddie Mercury? The Rolling Stones cancelled a huge stadium gig in Bilbao in July due to Mick Jagger's illness, and I'm pretty sure nobody expected them to perform in some kind of Mickless limbo, like a bunch of defecating elephants on downers. That's what Belle and Sebastian would be without Isobel, a bunch of defecating elephants on downers. Imagine Mick's tortured trumpet wails as he suddenly recalled poor wee Isobel's hospital plight. I dread to think what lyrics Mad Dog Murdoch would have come up with in his twisted state of advanced dementia. Illness already plays a major part in his deranged mindset, so if his thoughts were to wander to tiny little Isobel's predicament we could have ended up some kind of stream of healthcare consciousness ramble like Dylan '66 pondering NHS cuts. I'm sure Sarah would have trouble manhandling all the wierd watermelons on her lonesome, possibly resulting in a cocophonous death rattle from Peter Cushing's worst nightmares. On acid. In short, I have every faith that the band's democratic decision to not play was the correct one. Huzzah! Having said that, the wailing and gnashing of teeth on the list has been instructive at the very least. "Strike one", isn't that some kind of baseball terminology? What would have happened if B&S had cancelled in Leeds? Fluffy Sarah shouting "LEG BEFORE WICKET, BELLE AND SEBASTIAN, LEG BEFORE WICKET!" Somehow, I doubt it, but it's a charming thought. I would also like to agree with the person who would have liked to see David performing a few acoustic songs. Preferably with Katrina banging away on the tambourine. I would also like to salute those of you who had the good sense to make the best of a bad job and have some poptastic fun with fellow listees and The Mouse Ran Up the Clock. You will all be getting a Sinister Scout Badge from Der Honeymeister for Lisa-like Services to the Blind. And believe me, a cancelled B&S concert is better than a not-cancelled Mark Lanegan shindig, if that's any consolation. My major worry at the moment is that Sparkly Orange McRagtag might not get to share a herring or two down by the wellside with our very own Genevieve.....I've been secretly looking forward to it for ages, you know. Yours in trembling anticipation, Peter PS. The WHO carried on when Keith Moon collapsed at the Cow Palace. They invited some dude from the audience to take his place, didn't they Keith? But apparently it was shit. Perhaps B&S should play the Cow Palace and Tanglewood Music Shed. They certainly have a ring to them. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Chicago?
by Jason Brent 25 Oct '98

25 Oct '98

YIKES!!! Its 2am, and I've been putting off my 16 hour drive to Chicago to hear some news. If I drive all that way, and its canceled, I'll kill myself!!! Not due to actually missing the show, but due to the fact that I was counting on the excitement of the show to keep me awake for the drive back directly afterwards, so I can write my exam on tuesday! It sucks being in the dark, especially when someone's health is at stake! I just have to say though, even if I make the trip, and there is NO SHOW, my love and respect for B&S will not change!!! Thats more than I can say for some people on this list! Get well Isobel!
