Sinister: tickets for Chicago
by Ben Houck 14 Oct '98

14 Oct '98

The last tickets for the Chicago show seem to have finally flown into the pocket of a lucky midwestener. Unfortunately that person was not me. I am trying to piece together for tickets for the show on Monday 10/26. If anyone can help me out with just one of those four (and perhaps three other people do the same) tickets I can pay them back and send them a nice card. Thanks Ben Houck houckbe(a)earlham.edu +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: It's another love F.A.Q.
by Keith Watson 14 Oct '98

14 Oct '98

Robbert McTaggart wrote : >Julie rules. Her character in "Billy >Liar" was everything I look for in a girl, and have subsequently found. Jesus Christ! you smoothy bastard! What's all this about, next you'll be attaching a signature to your emails saying something like "A big shout out to my little pumkiny-wumpkiny - love you honeybum!" Anyway, the question about Paul Gambaccini was sensible I thought, I mean, it's not in the same league as Bob Holness playing the Saxophone Solo on Baker Street, and Virginia Bottomley having the world's largest collection of Wah-Wah pedals is it? I looked up Mr.Gambaccini on the world-wide super webhighway and found most of the references to him on www.knopfler.net, and that was a bit of a snoozeathon (that's as opposed to the great Mr.Isaac "Jobby" Hayes' Grooveathon, which, despite the fact that I haven't heard it, I'm sure it rules). I'd recommend to any of the Mancunian Sinerstusians that they head on down to Smile where Tag's DJing, where he's going to play "Male Stripper" by Man 2 Man meets Man Parrish, if we're lucky, he'll find time to slip in "Mirrors" by Sally Oldfield too - Tag, if you don't have this, I've got it, and I've got "Northern Lights" too. I've nothing much to add for the moment on the cheese debate - although I did have some charming cheese for lunch today. Troosers wrote: >firstly it is widely thought that the "Terry >and Julie" in Waterloo Sunset are Terence Stamp and Julie Christie, >who were starring in some Polanski version of Thomas Hardy at the >time. Yes I thought that too, I'm sure it is true, unfortunately all I can see nowadays, is not a romantic vision, but Terence Stamp as General Zod in Superman II. Isn't it from Far from the madding crowd by the way? I'm allowed to be pedantic (and also perhaps wrong) here after Nick complained about my spelling in the FAQ. In any case, I've updated the FAQ a bit, so here it is, actually I managed to downdate it my changing my computer at work, so it's not quite as up to date as I'd like. Well, we'll see, plus I'm awaiting on a final word as regards the what really happened at the Dog on Wheels recordings as I don't actually know, and people seem to ask this quite a lot. With any luck I should find out soon... 1. What is Tigermilk, where can I get a copy? Tigermilk is the bands first album and was released around about May 1996. It was released as part of a Stow College course whereby Alan Rankine (of the Associates) fronts up the cash to record a single every year, although with Belle and Sebastian they decided that there was enough material for an album, hence Tigermilk. There were only 1000 copies pressed and so the record is worth a lot of money now. The band have always mantained that Tigermilk will be re-released at some point, and this will definitely be the case, currently likely that about March 1999, although this may change. 2. Who is the guest singer on Lazy Line Painter Jane? The female singer on Lazy Line Painter Jane is Monica Queen, formerly of countryish Glasgow band Thrum. Thrum released a record a few years ago, about 1994 I think. I can't remember what it's called though, someone else will have to fill me in on that one. Last I heard she was recording with her own band which is called "Monica", or at least that's what it was called in February 1997. 3. What is "Elvis" in A Century of Elvis. No-one knows bar the author really, but it's probably a cat, perhaps a tortoise, maybe actually Elvis, maybe it's Tortelvis from Dread Zeppelin who knows, and to be quite honest, who cares. 4. Who is in the band... Stuart Murdoch - singing guitar Isobel Campbell - singing, cello, various Sarah Martin - violin, weird things Stevie Jackson - Guitar Stuart David - Bass Mick Cooke - Trumpet, various Chris Geddes - keyboards Richard Colburn - Drums Neil Robertson has been known to play bass on Stuart David's "Spaceboy Dream", which brings me on to... 5. What other bands have members of Belle and Sebastian involved in? There's quite a number of things here. I'm sure it's not complete either, it's just what I can remember off hand. Chris Geddes : currently V-Twin and Golden Rodeo (think that's what they're called). Has played on Arab Strap records. V-Twin have released two singles (to my knowledge), Gifted, and a 12", In the land of the Pharoes. Mick Cooke : Used to play with Hardbody, who released two singles on Epic (On your own, Hazel's hob). Now plays with the Karelia and the Amphetameanies. Has also played on releases by Mojave 3, Ex-Cathedra. Probably others too. Stuart Murdoch : Played on releases by Polarbear and Arab Strap. Richard Colburn : Has played with Polarbear/Snowpatrol Isobel Campbell : Has played on Arab Strap records, also played on the Snowpatrol record. Stuart David : Stuart David has a side project called "Looper". There has been one single released on Sub-pop singles club called "Impossible things" and there is an album planned. 6. What records have been released? Tigermilk (LP) May 1996 If you're feeling sinister (LP) November 1996 Dog on Wheels (EP) April 1997 Lazy Line Painter Jane (EP) June 1997 3,6,9 Seconds of Light (EP) October 1997 The Boy with the Arab Strap (LP) September 1998 7. What's that song at the end of the 3,6,9 seconds of light EP called. It's called "Songs for Children". 8. What about all these unreleased songs that people keep belting on about in order to make themselves look smart? Pocketbook Angel London has let me down Hurley's having dreams These are little demos of old songs that will as far as we know, never ever be released as Belle and Sebastian. Loneliness of the middle distance runner Modern Rock song Rhoda People around the place have tapes of various different versions of these, they've been kicking around for a while and they may well be released reasonably soon, there are numerous different versions of the Loneliness of the middle distance runner. I Know where the summer goes The Gate These two will probably be a part of the next single 9. What sessions have they done on the radio? The first session was around about September 1996 here Mark Lamarr sat in for Mark and Lard at night... They played Judy and the dream of horses Like Dylan in the movies The State that I am in The stars of track and field The second was about February 1997 on Mark + Lard's program again and they played : I could be dreaming Seeing other people (slow version) We rule the school Modern Rock song The third was on Steve Lamacq's evening session and they played : Lazy Line Painter Jane Sleep the clock around Slow Graffiti Seymour Stein They did one of Stevie Jackson's tracks "Wrong Love" one night when the evening session was live from Glasgow. Apparently this is now called "Wrong Girl", will it be called "Wrong Sheep" at some point in the future? The fourth less well known session was on Peter Easton's Radio Scotland music program where he played : The Loneliness of the middle distance runner Slow Graffiti Modern Rock song. 10. Who is Tigermilk dedicated to? Tigermilk is dedicated to Lawrence Bradby, who's a friend of Stuart's. I dunno how frequently asked this question is, but it certainly was asked frequently recently as regards a competition on French radio. 11. Are Belle and Sebastian twee? No, they rock. 12. Dog on Wheels, what's the story there then? Well it's not really Belle and Sebastian on that EP, as you'll see if you have a look at who played on it. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

golly gee, i haven't been here in a while. lots of stuff to comment on. yesterday a rather nasty hoo-hah occurred on the list. gawsh, peace and love everyone. 'kay? enough. genny-pooh said: "ah,it's the irish who are the coolest anyways." -never a truer word has passed the lips of a sinister listee dawhlings. mark casarotto said: "alan wiley....tape.....anyone know who he is" -okay mark pls don't crucify me for not getting your wording right but i know who alan wiley is....he's *fabu*. he's trying to get a deal here at the moment since he released "soundtrack" on his own short round records in the states. you can check out some more of his stuff on http://homorama.planetout.com/~alan/bands.html and maybe even buy a copy if you are impressed by the real audio and other things that i don't know how to use on my crappy p.c. it's pretty impressive stuff...sorta like slowdiveMEETSneworderMEETSthe-quiter-moments-of-joydivsion katrina house said something about the lucksmiths playing on friday....by all accounts these guys are great live. i took the plunge and bought two of their cds online a month or two ago and both atre AMAZING. if those guys sing "little athletics" and "under the rotunda" on friday i will end this shite week a happier man.

Sinister: Count Dukula

Come, let us talk of Boston..... Rodders wrote: >Miss you loads (as I'm sure you can understand), but I have a wee >problem. We've missed you too, Rod. I mean that. Sorry to hear about your problem. Have you read "The Water Method Man" by John Irving? That might offer you some tips on how to deal with these uncomfortable infections. Keef "Back by dope demand" Watson wrote: >Tag said about how Limahl used to be shacked up with the only other >world's leading authority on popular music (the other being the >Duke), Paul Gambaccini. Can anyone confirm this? Are you calling me a liar, Watson? Of course it's bloody true - just like the fact that Jimmy Corkhill was shagging Fred the weather man is true. You've got a nerve, pal, you don't talk to us for weeks, and you ponce back as if nothing ever happened, and immediately start throwing your weight around, casting aspersions about my honesty. Paul Gambaccini had a great jingle (Limahl obviously thought so), it had saucy girlie voices going "Paaauuul Gamba-cheeeeenneeee" in husky tones. Keith also admitted: >We've fucked all the plans over properly and decided just to have a >big party in Glasgow - over New Year. Sadly, it's true. We may return to the idea at a later date, but people kept saying "oh, not this weekend, not that weekend, etc etc...", so rather than disappoint one or two people, we decided just to piss you the lot of you off. However, in my defence, can I just remind you...Smile, me DJing with glorious unprofessionalism and considerable taste, this Saturday, Star and Garter, Fairfield Street, Manchester, Entry two of your British pounds. And there may even be other goings on nearer Christmas if the Dandy Don, Emma (the Danette??) and myself get our act together.

Barry Norman's job (and mine for that matter) is safe for the time being. Trousers, what are you wittering on about? Our Roman's Thomas Hardy interpretation "Tess" came out ages after "Waterloo Sunset" and starred Nastassja "Ich habe ein brand neu Combine Harvester, ja?" Kinski. She was my third ever crush after Nyree-Dawn Porter in "The Protectors", and Nadia Comenecci. Are you thinking of "Far from the Madding Crowd"? Directed, if memory serves me correctly, by John Schlesinger? Julie was in that. Julie rules. Her character in "Billy Liar" was everything I look for in a girl, and have subsequently found. Finally, the Dandy may have already mentioned this, but someone we know claims that she recognised the Duke, and asked "Didn't he used to be a Goth?" Can it really be true that the Duke of Haringay is no other than.....The Prince of Darkness?

Sinister: please have sympathy
by Sam Norman 14 Oct '98

14 Oct '98

Ok i know i've asked before, but due to the fact of going to uni, than moving out and then moving back in again (long story don't ask) i never managed to get it settled. Could one of the many lovely people out there make a copy of tigermilk, the bbc sessions and what other goodies, there are out there. I will happily remimburse any one for the cost of postage and whatever (not to pay for a copy though, oh no). If anyone fancies trading for something, suggest something and i'll see what i can come up with. ta ra for now Sam p.s. someone in the uk would be easiest i guess. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Le rock... Le soir...C'est Lenoir
by John Johnston 14 Oct '98

14 Oct '98

Nick Dastoor was not alone at being impressed by the grooviness of Mon. Lenoir's radio slogan. I thought it was fab! What would be the equivalent on Radio 1 here in the U of K, I wondered... "Le plague of locusts...Le plague of Boils...C'est Chris Moyles..."?? I'm also seriously reconsidering potential titles for my autobiography now that I've found the phrase "au grand gallop" - it's wonderful and may displace "What's the point in being cool if you can't wear a sombrero". Oh decisions..decisions.... I love the tale of Kristen and her list crush. All the best to 'em I say and I'm happy because it proves that there's still snogging to be done among the biscuit nibbling cardigan set. Before Tim H!O!P!kins left (btw fans of that kind of punctuation will love "The Education of Hyman Kaplan" but I digress) he urged us all to put a little bitof our hearts into each post...So let me share what I love about this list I love the fact that I've posted a tape of great songs (big up yourself Nick Morton) from somebody I've never met to another complete stranger and I just received another tape in an envelope with little drawings on it - nice one Fluffy. I love the fact that I've got a Robin Hood hat in my house given to me by my lovely guests at the Shepherds Bush gig, I love the fact that the Girlfriend-in-a-can that another of my visitors gave me was recently guest of honour at a dinner party. I love the fact that there's going to be a big new years get together (but hate the fact that I'm not here at New Year - poo) I say we are the picnic-having, Pez-dispensing, booty-shaking, honey-hugging sinister list and I love it. That's me in the sandpit - loosing my flip-flops xx John +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: There is a light that never goes out

14 Oct '98

Hello to all, I know that this is probably a shot in the dark, but I would like to get tickets to either of the sold out B&S shows in N.Y. This is very last minute, but I didn't think I'd be able to make it anywhere near that side of the continent, let alone in the doors, and well... now that circumstances have changed, I'm starting to feel that desperation and determination. If anyone has info on extras or advice on what hoops I should jump through, I am welcome to ALL suggestions. Please e-mail me privately: akemi(a)seanet.com It would mean a great deal to me.
