Sinister: brian's back!
by brad 31 Oct '98

31 Oct '98

well, not brian, but brad.......but i always wanted to be brian wilson...minus the fucking nuts part. so how's it going? i was sitting here thinking "you know, brad, you don't have enough stupid shit to fill up your day, and hey, what better place to read a bunch of meaningless drivel than on the belle and sebastian list? hey i got an idea, why don't you join back? you know you've been thinking about it....come on, everyone's doing it" so i caved into peer pressure from myself and here i am. i would go into a lengthy description of the religious experience that was the athens show, but i've already wrote it down once in a letter to someone else, and i don't feel like writing it all over again. but i will say....true happiness comes when your favorite band is playing your favorite song and you look behind you and there are 800 people dancing to it. makes me realise the world ain't so bad after all. so how is everyone.....pjmiller? still got that case of the crabs? tag? still got that nasty hemorrhoid problem? mr. mitchell? did that child molestation charge ever hold up? duke? duke? and hey, while i'm on the subject of tag's rectum and pjmiller's venereal affliction, isn't the "stomach flu" just a nice way of saying isobel had the shits? the little brown bear came out of hibernation? enough talking poorly of people. isobel was beautiful. she could have had toilet paper stuck to her shoe and shit running down her leg, and i still would've wanted to marry her. stuart likes tight shirts, don't he? -brad +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Brilliant Career chords
by IndiaRubb＠aol.com 31 Oct '98

31 Oct '98

It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career Just the basic chords here, nothing difficult. One note, though: where the song hits the "been a brilliant.." part, the bass line changes, but the guitar stays with an A chord. Sounds a bit awkward at first. E A He had a stroke at the age of 24 A E It could have been a brilliant career C#m B A Painting lines in a school that was too well known C#m B A Painting lines with a friend that had gone before F# B She challenged everyone to a fight A E B But the prefects all backed down A E B And they ran her out of town A E B Cause she drank and swore and spoke A E F# Out of turn, she was the village joke (Repeat same for the rest of the song) She had a stroke at the age of 24 It could have been a brilliant career Getting clients to finance her strategies Filling time in on Safeways on Saturday She wears the clothes of an emperor But her paintings are a sham And they're going for a grand When the dealers come to view Do they ever see the real you? He had a stroke at the age of 24 It could have been a brilliant career Selling lies to the boys with the old Dansettes Pulling the wool, playing the fool, it's no wonder that He is dribbling spit tonight And the one he sent away Was the only one who stayed With a spoon and a decent book And you can tell by the way she looks he is sorry and resigned As he wets himself for the final time Any corrections, etc. send to IndiaRubb(a)aol.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Dear grammar professor don't you know, don't you care about LOVE ?
by Ivo A P Escossia 31 Oct '98

>Another amusing aside...I took a test in my grammar class and the professor >mentioned the Smiths in one of the questions. I used to have a grammar professor who was into Smiths too. He used to wear a This Charming Man t-shirt in class. Maybe he knows Belle and Sebastian too..but i dunno Smiths was BIG here in Brazil. Belle and Sebastian is not....

I'm in Edinburgh, and Glasgow didn't seem any more 'do-able' up here (well not at New Year anyway). Anyway, I seem to remember Keith W saying something about a meet-ups later. Meet-ups are generally always going to be regional (unless you jet-set as much as Keith or Tag appear to). I've always thought that I'd only be willing to travel great distances and meet up if B&S were performing somewhere, but then I'm a lazy git, and so far I've just been waiting till they come to me! So when are they going to do their 'spectacular homecoming tour'? I hope they don't burn out on the road somewhere Stateside.

Sinister: the wide world of cheese
by TFertig3＠aol.com 30 Oct '98

30 Oct '98

Dear list, Sorry to bother you lot with another request, but it's getting pretty close to the NY gigs, and I'm gonna pee my pants. I want a ticket to the NOV 2 show! If anyone has an extra (yeah right...) or knows where I can obtain one, please tell me! I'll love you forever! Tomorrow will mark my one-year anniversary with this list. That's right, last Halloween I was introduced to Belle and Sebastian. This means that tomorrow, I will officially have spent 6% of my life on this list. How sick. Just one question (maybe two): In the press photograph (where they're all sitting in rows) on the B&S jeepster page, who is who? Every picture I see of them, they look different! And, does anyone that lives near me want to tape me any unreleased songs (lonliness of a middle distance runner, rhoda, on and on)? I live near Philadelphia. I will trade or tape something or anything! Anything! I feel so naked to know those lovely melodies exist and I haven't heard them!

Sinister: Ideas for Cheap Halloween Costumes
by bkim0＠dept.english.upenn.edu 30 Oct '98

30 Oct '98

This is what I was thinking, 'cause as usual, I prepared too late for Halloween and am left wondering what to do. I can really only use the clothes that I myself own... a) James Bond. I have a tuxedo (black natch) and a plastic replica of a Magnum gun, but I used this last year. Also my cigarette holder (telescopes to 3') is a nice touch but it means I have to smoke. Gets in the way of my new fitness kick (more a mental one than physical at this point). b) Morrissey. This is easy, some pomade for the hair, my Malcolm X/Buddy Holly glasses, gaudy beads round the neck, some kind of long sleeve button-up shirt. Flowers in the back pocket. c) Pimp. I have a few leisure suits and platform shoes. But no big hat w/ feather...or mink stole for that matter. This is the classic costume to fall back on. d) Cardboard box. Semi-desperate but...well, maybe it's all desperate. Who knows. Anyone else have ideas? I can't go as my evil twin, that would be just too lame.

Sinister: New York Kiddies...
by Horlivy, Dorigen 30 Oct '98

30 Oct '98

Hi all you New Yorkers... Speaking of Halloween, who of you all are out and about this weekend? I for one will be at the parade in the village. I will be dressed as Hanson with two men. I will be the girl. 'Zack' Hanson, if you will. Give me a shout out. I will be seriously inebriated and am likely to give you a hug.

Sinister: Raygun magazine
by Goon Koch 30 Oct '98

30 Oct '98

i think raygun is gorgeous. if you've got more than a passing interest in typography (shoutout to g. ballance at the cooper union's herb lubalin center) you've got to love what they do. well, at least it was groundbreaking five years ago. that said, it can drive you mad if you're actually trying to read the articles. what gets me is when they have white text superimposed on an image and whole sections of the article have no contrast so you can't read the type. it doesn't help any that the copy is already in an unreadable font. somebody should be slapped around for that. hard. with a rolled up copy of last sunday's new york times. but the magazine is gorgeous. at least it was before they had oasis on the cover and lost me as a reader. er, i mean, visual appreciator. but i'd rather have a gorgeous, original magazine that i can't read than read crap. and who relies on music magazines for literary sustenance in the first place? after persevering in admirable fashion, my philadelphia daisies have taken a turn for the worse. a fresh bouquet will adorn my backpack at the new york show. for halloween i will drag out my old fishing gear. xtra-tuf boots, orange pvc pants and jacket, neoprene wristers, serrated victorinox knife, nylon baseball cap with jellyfish stains. after five years it still smells like salmon and brings back vivid memories of standing up to my armpits in catch in the hold and having the first mate on his belly beside me, toking on a beercan bong because he didn't want to share with the skipper. this is perfect costume for even the most animated party (it's also great for romping about manhattan in a violent storm, but that's another story). beer spills and vomitus hose right off, the suit is easily removed in the event of romance and it does not involve any messy make up. also, this is not a subtle costume, so i don't have to deal with annoying "what are you s'posed to be" questions. a guy in smelly, orange, waterproof getup is not easily confused with a goblin, troll or leprechaun. greetings to the austrian list member. i'm kind of an austrian emigre. "land der berge, land am strome . . ." happy halloween, friends. drive safely. -goon k.- ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
