Sinister: Tour locations
by Mick McMick 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

Hm... I have done a little bit of thinking about this, and here is my thinking. It appears that this tour is an upper-east coast tour with a couple trips elsewhere to do something or other about maximizing tour areas, which does, admittedly, make loads of sense. I don't have all the dates memorized or anything, but it does appear that they have decided to mostly hit the upper east coast, playing in New York (twice!), Boston, DC, and Philadelphia, which isn't on the coast but you get the idea. Then they're playing in Toronto in order to allow for some Canadians to make the show, then Athens for the southerners, and Chicago for the midwestern kids. You see, they also aren't playing any other typical midwest stops, such as Detroit, Cleveland, COLUMBUS!, St. Louis, Cincinatti, etc. Why not go to any of those places? They're certainly much larger in size and scope than Athens, GA. But of course, the answer is that geographical maximization thing, which is probably why they didn't set up any other southern shows, as there are some sizable cities/potential shows down that way, of course. Luckily I needed another excuse to go to New York anyway ;) Now I must go to get some groceries... /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - bp224995(a)oak.cats.ohiou.edu - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - (same e-mail for now) | | Sandcastle Homepage - | | http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/4972/ | | "Everyone has their own cup of tea. | | Some just happen to like a lot of sugar in it!" | | - Me! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

<<you all must understand how bitter i am by the fact that belle and sebastian played here in the san francisco bay area once before, and i had no idea>> can somebody tell me, when was this show?? my friend said the same thing, and i disagreed, haughtily insisting, "no, *I* would've remembered".... esp having read that B&S have only played gigs in NY prior to, well, today? Could I <gasp> be wrong?!? that would be... well, normal actually. <<then, to realize that they arent coming over here at all this time around. having grown up in podunk san diego, i was used to not seeing live shows, but i thought that once i moved away to the big ole san francisco area i would never miss a band ever again.>> honeychile, I know... there, there... Despite all the explanations that it wasn't possible or convenient or whatever for the band to come here now, and the reassurances that next year will bring a tour, it still feels slightly...insulting...(not quite the word I'm looking for).. True, maybe no one person or party is responsible, but it still leaves us unhappy. We'll patiently await the spring tour, but in the meantime... Maybe some lemons or rosemary would help... Susan(?), sincerest thanks for that advice! Only yesterday i was reading about "seasonal depression" and thought, "hmm, that's exactly how I'm feeling!" only to learn that those lightbox things cost upwards of $300 - i.e. the cost of a plane ticket to New york! There is some good news to be found in that Saint Etienne have announced dates for their first US headline tour!!! And yes, it includes California! Speaking of licking railings, which some of the naughtier amongst us were doing (should we now start a rude "sinister" photos page?) what does she mean when Isobel sings about "skipping tickets"? Hope the Boston show ruled! ta, taracita +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: oh, toronto, oh

ahhh, i haven't contributed to this list for so long! but you all seem so chatty these days, i didn't want to interrupt. but here i go anyway: so.. the toronto show is on saturday and i'm getting more and more excited by the second. gee, belle and sebastian here in canada? it's just been a dream-filled past few months, what with the magnetic fields, ida and now BELLE AND SEBASTIAN coming to this fine city... a toronto-bound lad wrote: >Trying to fill the gap between now and landing at Toronto airport is >proving very difficult, so if you'll indulge me again... for you and your hostess, i deeply hope that there aren't any delays at the pearson airport. it's been *awful* there these days.. i spent an unnecesarily long time at an airport in ottawa last weekend because the plane from toronto was taking ages to take off.. grumble grumble air canada strikes, grrr. but if anyone wants to hear the story about *why* i was at an airport in ottawa, let me know. it involves everything from love to lies to drives along the coast and walking on railroad tracks. oh yeah, count on me for smut... okay, a pre-introduction for all those going to the toronto show: i'm teri (not to be confused with the teri with purple ribbon around her wrist in boston.. i understand the bounty of jessica's, but imagine there being two teri's on the list!). i'll be at the preshow meeting, sadly alone because my date for the night must oblige her family and go to some wedding reception which starts at 6. then she'll run down to the opera house and hopefully not miss a thing... i don't have pez!! i've never eaten pez in my life and i don't know how to work a pez dispenser. i don't think i've ever even touched one. but then again, i've never seen star wars, and no - i wasn't brought up in a box in the basement... i've also never had turkey at thanksgiving.. this is all normal, right? i'll be a girl with black hair (ask politely and i'll show you my white hair) and glasses. do say hello. until then... teri xx see my updated website: http://members.tripod.com/~meltingsnow/ sign my guestbook, it's so empty. at least give me the illusion that i have friends. :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Misheard Lyrics?
by erin kathleen devitt 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

Hello, I don't know if any of you guys are still interested in misheard lyrics, but I've got a couple that I think are kinda funny. The first one is from Pulp's This is Hardcore. This one line goes: You can't be a spectator. And I thought it went: You can't peel potatoes. The other one is off of B&S's new album. I can't remember the name of the song( I think it has Seymore in it) Well, you know after he says "LA to New York, San Francisco back to Boston" I thought he said Has he ever seen Ghandi(however you spell it) instead of dundee. And nutella tastes best on eggo minis xoxo Erin D +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: west coast

> i shant be going to any of those belle and sebastian shows, since california > apparently isnt important enough to rate a stop this time around (but athens > is, right? yep.) Reasons why Belle and Sebastian are not doing West Coast dates until next year: 1) Belle and Sebastian are busy people. 2) Coordinating availability and travel plans for a band and crew totalling 13 people is EXTREMELY difficult, time-consuming and expensive. 3) Athens/Atlanta is a very important market for an artist of Belle and Sebastian's status. 4)Athens is a 15 hour drive from NYC. Any point on the west coast is AT LEAST a 48 hour drive. In order to fit as many shows as possible into the band's small amount of open time, we opted to wait on the west coast till next year. 5) Next year the folks in the rest of the country will be making the same complaint you're making now, when you are seeing the band and they are not. You can't make everybody happy all the time. -donovan +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
