Sinister: Rain that won't Let Up
by Kara Baer 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

Good Morning.. I've been lurking on the list for quite a while now. I've wanted to join in, but felt like the shy little girl at the playground...watching a game of hide and seek. It's been a rainy dreary morning down here in Southern Maryland, the kind of rain that sinks down into your soul so you feel soggy and waterlogged all day. I fell in love with B&S when our campus station recieved IYFS. I "borrowed" it and listened to it over and over. What grabbed me first was Stuart's voice. I adore lovely voices...for that reason I'm a huge Mama Cass fan, but I think you have to be(hee hee). I waited and waited for my copy of TBWTAS and finally broke down and bought the 3 EPs, even though I'm only a poor college student. I cashed in my pennies and nickels. Um..I'll be attending the Philadelphia and DC shows. I look forward to meeting you lovely people. I'm about 5'10 and I just shaved my head, so I should stick out in the crowd. I'm very excited. I'm taking the train to Philly and meeting my friend Beth, who goes to art school and also shaved her head on a totally unrelated occaision. She's living with 3 guys at the moment. One of them, Jean-Paul, lost something and had to go to Europe to find it. He calls and leaves messages from time to time to let them know he's still there and not in Philadelphia where he should be. I'll be going to Glasgow for a semester in January, and I would hate to have missed them. (Does anyone here attend the University of Glasgow? ) And about Nutella: When I was a little girl, I lived in Germany. (I had curly blond hair and a durndel) I remember coming inside out of the cold and my mother giving me half a brotchen, with Nutella. It was my favorite snack. Mmmmm nostalgic....I think someone mentioned pictures of Nutella in the snow. I'd love to see those. Love Kara PS Teri, I peeked around your website. It's lovely.

It's all about a rock (?) star called Wierd, and his life. It's a lot better than I make it out to be. honest! anyway, in one bit he's talking to a record company exec called Rick, who says something about how in the "old days" he could.....ahem..... make sweet love to the sound from all 3 disks of a concept album..... but nowadays he can't even manage an EP..... oh, and they recorded the book for Radio 4, as a sort of "musical biography" of the (fictional) band "Frozen Gold".... presented by Paul Gambachini. So that ties in quite nicely with the Gambachini thread too! It's nice to see our American cousins enjoying the shows (I wish I was there, I could carry the band's sexual apparatus or something!) but I must make a small confession... I did it. No, that wasn't it.... I had wondered why the band were playing on the east coast of the USofA..... and then flying to Greece to play in Athens. Doh! I really should have paid attention in geography class, but I was too busy pulling Lucy Black's hair..... serves me right for not paying attention to current affairs. and paying too muck attention to Lucy's hair. For the benefit of any "new people", my picture's not up at Honey's website (yet.....) but you can see Lucy (she's the one called St. Lucy) I'm off to insult good looking women so that I have toexplain to them what an arab strap is.

Sinister: re:TRACY COLE
by bryan.murphy＠strath.ac.uk 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

I suddenly remembered a tale about an Ex-friend of mine. Once upon a time there was a girl from Essex called Michaela Barrett. She wasn't a very pretty girl but she left the wastelands of Essex and travelled up to the paradise that was Glasgow, where the young and impressionable Michaela was exposed to the harmonies and beauty of Belle and Sebastian, by a stranger who took pity upon the plight of this poor little girl. Now because Michaela was shy she didn't know how to tell the world how she felt about the love of her life, another girl by the name of Tracey Cole...some would say that this illicit homosexual relationship would have blossomed into a strong, poignant and powerful romance, but Michaela didn't know how to express herself. As a defense mechanism Michaela, became what her Scottish friends referred to as a "scunner". A "scunner" is a coniving, manipulative and devious bastard and people would line the streets to shout obscenities at her; F~?K OFF YOU ARROGANT BASTARD and such like. One day young Michaela went off to study at Stirling, which incidentally is full of other ugly and exceedingly unattractive people...so young Michaela was in good company. She could wax lyrical about her fascination with Belle & Sebastian, why she wore terylene pants, why she wanted to become a real man and why she couldn't go to the minister whenever she was feeling sinister. Anyway, to cut to the chase...Michaela left Stirling, went down to the Reading, where she tasted such fruits as she had never tasted before...and once again became an arrogant bastard, gave up her love of the heavenly Tracy Cole and lost the innocence of being in Glasgow. But finally she was home. And the moral of this story is...dont be a wanker! Love you Michaela > > >______________________________________________________ >+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ > +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ > To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

I'm now going for some kind of record for apologies on the list (four at the last count) from listees I met at Shepherd's Bush. All very nice, of course, but as I've already reassured Tag I have no recollection of being compared to a cat by Tag, didn't notice being bawled at by Rod, didn't feel insulted by JJ, and don't recall being asked my age by Stuart. The only apology I deserve is because the first cup of coffee tastes like washing up is now a week old. Thank you all for being so nice anyway... I must say that the apologies make a lovely change from any vitriol whihc might have been around not so long ago. I quite like the idea of a supplicating, apologising, penance paying list. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! Today's list penance for anything you might have done wrong is to sing a line of Belle & Sebastian to everyone you meet. Oh yes. Even the checkout girl at Sainsbury's. Tomorrow's list penance is devised by... Stuart Gardiner. I like this game.

Sinister: Duncan Sheik Raves On About B&S In Rolling Stone..............
by Jaded10486＠aol.com 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

In the latest issue of Rolling Stone, singer Duncan Shriek has this to say about B&S in the Raves column of the mag: BELLE AND SEBASTIAN "I can be so picky about performances being perfect; their attitude is, 'Let's play some music and see how it comes out.' They just leave it like that, which is fantastic. I like that languorous adolescence-confused but intellectual and a little self-involved, which i guess I relate to." Hmmmmm.......included next to this quote is a caricature of Stuart M.'s head on a cat's body watching TV. Strange but nice to see in that horrible magazine. Excuse the typos it's 4.15 am in L.A. and the valium hasn't taken it's toll yet.

Sinister: B&S gigs
by Katrina House 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

Hello everyone, just want to clear some stuff up about forthcoming gigs. to be honest, there aren't any planned for the forseeable future. the last conversation i had with neil about upcoming gigs was that once the band had returned from their east coast usa tour, they would think about what was going to happen next year gig-wise. if they hated touring then maybe they wouldn't go out again. the plan was always to schedule a southern european and west coast usa tour if they thought the other gigs went well and they were happy enough to do it all again. once neil + the band get back, i'm sure that they will start thinking about dates for next year, but they probably won't be until march-ish as they have other commitments over christmas/new year. with regards to a uk tour, the talk was possible dates in spring. i've also asked neil to consider dates in japan to co-incide with the end of the proposed west coast usa tour. and australia maybe too (possibly maybe ...) please don't be angry that they're not playing near you now. and please don't snap at other people who are fortunate enough to live near a city where the band are playing. i have learnt from experience that if you keep hoping long enough, your dreams will come true. (trust me, living in the most isolated city in the wrold for the first 20 years of my life you get used to dreaming ...) the duke's a wise man ... keep the faith. cheers, Katrina. -- ************************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - mailto:a-and-r@jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, uk phone - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: GOLDEN NEEDLE IN HAYSTACK!!!

Is anyone else finding that the distribution for B&S really sucks? Here in Canada, it is part of Matador's distr. deal with Capital I think, and after 2 weeks of the release date, the only place I found it was HM(fucking)V for $32!(thats twice as much as a new cd should cost!!!) I had less problems finding the Enclave Sinister, after the label had gone bust! I've never had any problems locating any other Matador artists either.
