Sinister: ya take the good, ya take the bad, ya take 'em both & there ya have...
by Erin Lewis 30 Oct '98

30 Oct '98

Hey kids! Bad news first: Funny that Matthew Neimark should mention a radio show called "Breakfast of Champions", because I just read in Jane magazine that a movie of the same name is in the works. If this is an adaptation of my favorite Vonnegut novel, THIS IS HORRIBLE NEWS! Anyone who has read the book knows what I'm talking about, because there's no way they can do justice to the book. And I don't mean this in an indiesnob way. I mean there are *things* in this book you cannot recreate. (This should inspire you to get reading, shouldn't it?) Does anyone else care? Good news second: Stevie Trousers is THE coolest person on the list right now, because I say so. I don't know if Mr. Trousers knew that my 21st birthday is this weekend (plug, plug), but I just received the best present, undoubtedly, from him. I will not tell you what is inside it, for fear he will be bombarded by requests to reproduce his work of art, but let's just say it's the nicest thing a stranger's ever sent me. (And yes, that includes Tigermilk - gasp!) Interesting news last: My brother is one of the head librarians at the CSU Fresno Music Library (one of the largest music collections in California - hoo-ha), and the library just got a big, fat grant to go and buy new CDs. The best part is that I gave him a list of my essential picks for his shopping list, and he's going to buy them. So now, thanks to me, "If You're Feeling Sinister" will get its own catalog number and place on a shelf in the library. (Also included on the list of library-worthy material were Jeff Buckley and "Louder Than Bombs" by the Smiths.) Lots of love, Miss Erin ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: News from moonbeam land
by Julie_Smith＠iacnet.com 30 Oct '98

30 Oct '98

Hey kids. To make up for the incredibly uncreative mondegreen post, I thought I'd speak up and show you an ink polaroid I took last weekend. I've been pretty quiet up til now, but at the urging of another list member (you know who you are) I've decided to speak up. Just don't laugh (at least not AT me). This picture was taken in Delores Park, (You know, the one in San Francisco, by the mission?) last Sunday at about 5pm. See me? I'm the one with brown hair, a black cardigan and a miserable look because the grass is wet and the wind has started to come up. Marci's sitting next to me, smoking a cigarette. She's easy to spot because she's wearing a white button down shirt and it's getting dark. Andy (brown sweater and goofy grin) is in the act of stealing a cigarette from me (see how his hand is blurry?) You can't hear our conversation, but if you could, you'd hear Andy asking me to send him a tape of Belle and Sebastian as soon as he gets back to San Diego. Just prior to the taking of this picture I'd forced him to listen to B & S in the car and he'd been pretty quickly converted. I felt so proud! Oh, those other blurry images are the thirty or so neighborhood dogs cavorting and playing all around us. If you liked that picture, maybe I'll show you the one from the biker bar. Maybe.

Sinister: Belle & Sebastiantown Massacre
by barzy＠networkmags.com 29 Oct '98

29 Oct '98

Going through a bunch of CDs in my office I stumbled upon this Brian Jonestown Massacre CD (i've never been much of a fan to tell the truth..one of those localish bands ..like The Dandy Warhols, that i've not been able to take seriously..maybe because the lead singer dropped his pants singing once and was flopping about and...oh the hours of therapy I needed after....80 dollars a session! Sheesh..) anyway....I read the special thanks, just cause and they thanked Belle & Sebastian and I can't help but wonder if they actually *know* them and were saying cheers to some good ole chums, or if it was like ...when people thank God and/or The Velvet Underground on CDS and stuff.... one can never be TOO sure ya know. P.S. of COURSE this comes from jealousy cause THEY'RE in a crappy band that WENT somewhere AND possibly know B&S ...I'd feel so much better if they didn't I suppose. Hell is where i'll go.... beth xx's II 8) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The desperate things you made me do...
by TJDICKEY＠aol.com 29 Oct '98

29 Oct '98

I was one of the many disappointed Philly fans. I likened the event to having my heart broken(which actually happened the next morning). On the drive home I made a pact with myself that I would not listen to B&S for a whole month. I made it about a day. Now, I am desperate. Since the Philly show definitely will not be rescheduled(I spoke with the Troc. boxoffice today and they said it was a no go), I still have an empty spot in my life that needs to be filled by seeing this band.(in case you did not notice I am trying to sound as pathetic as possible in the hope to invoke some sympathy from someone). If anyone out there can answer my plea it is this: I need a ticket to see B&S in New York(beggers can't be chosers so either show will do). Take into consideration my heartbreak(both of them), the void in my existence and exactly how much I love this band. Although it is probably not wise to mention this, but I would be willing to pay a "reasonable" fee for said ticket. E-mail me privately if you feel the need to definitely improve what has been a crappy week(did I mention that I also did not get a job that I went on three interviews for, more disappointment I simply cannot stand).

Sinister: hello from an Austrian convert
by Vanessa R. Siegl 29 Oct '98

29 Oct '98

hello to everybody on this list I am Vanessa from Austria quite a recent convert even though I knew about the band for a while I'd like to say hello to all Austrians on this list, to all the lucky ones who went to the show in Munich (I was so busy whining that I'd never get to see Belle and Sebastian that I didn't know about that show until three weeks after it) ... Anyway I am a 21 year old student (until next year when I'll hopefully be able to start photocollege in Vienna) of arts and history ... love vanxxx _____________________________________________________________ A girl who likes Jarvis Cocker longs for more variety in bed (German psychologist in PETRA) csaa7950(a)uibk.ac.at or _gapminder(a)yahoo.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Brighton!!
by paula wiseman 29 Oct '98

29 Oct '98

I was in Brighton last weekend, and was in that shop next to McDonalds that sells wierd candles and notebooks. They were playing "If you're Feeling Sinister" on the music system! There must be loads of B&S fans there! Brighton sounds like a good idea for a meet-up. Count me in, depending on dates. I live just along the coast in sunny Bognor Regis.

Sinister: Don't go past '67 for France!
by bkim0＠dept.english.upenn.edu 29 Oct '98

29 Oct '98

Just a caveat. I can't stand any of the '68-onward material...it certainly ain't pop music by any stretch of the imagination. Any compilation featuring the following songs will most likely be great because everything from '63 (I think?) to '67 is excellent perky pop..."Laisse Tomber Les Filles," "Baby Pop," "Poupee De Cire Poupee De Son," "Les Sucettes," and maybe "Teenie Weenie Boppie." If you ask me, and you didn't, my favorite songs are "Un Fille D'un Garcon," "Laisse...", "Christiansen," "La Guerre Des Chanson," "La Rose Des Vents"....I have the boxed set (also called _Poupee De Cire Poupee De Son_) which has around 64 songs....and I still need more. She sang in seven other languages or something too. If we had more France Galls, we'd have less wars, maybe.

Sinister: Friday Night Activities
by Gareth Probert 29 Oct '98

29 Oct '98

Hello there Seeing as Richard wondered what everybody is doing on a friday night... This will probably only be of any consequence to people that live in Derby or the immeadiate surrounding area, unless you are just plain interested. I will be leaping on the 8:00 bus into town, tumbling into The Vaults, and sitting there in the corner quietly drinking with my hair draping down over my eyes. heh heh. I will probably there all evening, occasionaly getting up to put some songs on the dukebox. Of course, all of the above will be completely impossible if I don't get the $#!?%&* work I have to do out of the way in the next hour. Hmmmmmmm..... I suppose I had better get my head down...
