Sinister: ATTN MIchigan Belle fans
by Dave Snyder 05 Oct '98

05 Oct '98

Hi all, Is anyone planning on driving from Eastern Michigan to the show on October 26 in Chicago? I am meeting a friend there but am carless and would prefer to join a merry Belle caravan rather than take the train or rent one (if I can find a place that rents to 22 yr. olds..) I would be happy to chip in for gas and bring some Nick Drake and Felt and Orange Juice or whatever. I am in Ann Arbor. Someone please help! :) Thanks much, Dave ************************************************************************** *Dave Snyder******514 E.

Sinister: It's true!
by THAIAN N TON 05 Oct '98

Yes, Listees it's true, i found the archive that b&s was spoken of (quite highly) on National Public Radio this morning they said: Belle and Sebastian -- Host Renee Montagne talks with Village Voice critic Dennis Lim about the current critical darlings in the pop music world, Belle and Sebastian. The Scottish band's latest CD is getting raves from critics, but will their music ever be heard by a wider audience? well, it was only 6 minutes worth of B&S content, but B&S nevertheless. Love, wee chi chi xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Re: Nick Drake bio
by Shane Harrison 05 Oct '98

05 Oct '98

For all who are interested, the Nick Drake bio is by Patrick Humphries and is available now in the UK (still just hardcover, though, until January when the paperback becomes available). It will be out sometime this fall in the U.S., possibly in October. I've read it and it's very well done and quite thorough.

Sinister: Hello shoes...I'm going to have to stand in you again...
by Sarah 05 Oct '98

05 Oct '98

Ooh hi list.... Dost thou remember when mark radcliffe used to do that? *ooh* :) nostalgic sigh....it's scary to think about how good nostalgia can be. It's acceptable for say, Mark Radcliffe, but watch out for nostalgia kids, it only ends up as Heartbeat.... Sounded quite philosophical doncha think? Argh! I've had to DELETE IRC while we switch from 486 pooter which is about as quick to do something as B&S (hoo hoo chortle what jolly japery my young spinach bear OK...um yeah) and to a computer with....WINDOWS 98!!! With..um, actually I don't know what but it'll be a fucking lot faster than this one!! yey! Except it's scary and I don't know how to use it and it has all this poppy-uppy menu stuph which is quite amazing really.... I'm gutted! On Friday, I saw THE hmv sale. They had TONS! of best of Northern Soul, which I looked at, and when I saw a band called THE VELVETETTES I just *had* to buy, and also, a lovely compilation called Reggae for Lovers, which featured two really cheesey luuurver dudes on the front gazing meaningfully into each others eyes...also had Barrington Layby on it, so I thought I would get that as well. they were 1.99 each so I thought I was sorted. BUT! I didn't have ANY money untill Monday to buy them with. Checked again on sat to see if they were stil there.....yep, TONS! Went in today, with my moneymoneymoney and were they there??? WERE THEY BUGGERY!!! I was gutted! lots of "Tranquility' CD's (which can just poo right off!! Who wants to be tranquil!!! Obviously not meee) but NO! Northern Soul, No Raggae for lovers, just a load of 'Tranquility' (HUH!?!?!) and Rick 'poo' Wakeman. I was then FORCED to buy *Death to the Pixies* and *the Factory Story* for 6.99 each instead, which I hope you share my distress at being FORCED to buy by my cruel and deviant mind.....I've not listened to any of them yet, but I will do soon. I have been too busy listening to my Spanish AUTHENTIK tapes, which promise to deliver a section which has 'Dudes talking about William Hague in Spanish'. Then a section on the Spice Girls! Hija Power..... ooh bugger it I give up. No puedo hablar espanol y voy a tomar anthropology instead. I don't even know what exactly antropology is. Fingers croosed for my university stuffe kids! How about Information Studies at Edinburgh? Blame Honey and Linda for making Edinburgh JUST SOO NICE when I was there at the start of the month, and *making* me want to go there again!!! And I can't get into chat!! I deleted IRC and now I want it back!! I want to chat!!! I want to chat to fun people! I have phoned various people to amuse me and tell me I'm lovely, but no-one tarts about like da Sinister kru 'cha and I'm...singing we're justfied and we're ancient. Help meeee! or at least send me a nice e,mail saying, Sarah! We love you! And then I'll have a lovely warm glow that some people actually like me but I bet you couldn't be arsed to read this alll ANYWAY ya bastards....I could take you all on you know, cos I'm taller than Stuart Gardiner and wider than CHEF. I'M GOING (to make sweet loe down by the fire hehe I wish) NOW BYE!!!!!!

Sinister: I think that c*nt Lenoir is gonna get a knee capping
by Funkyseb＠aol.com 05 Oct '98

05 Oct '98

Grrr popkids, grrr. Belle and Sebastian's session was great. 50 beautiful minutes of constant B&S. What can I say? Paris is going to be a very good gig tomorrow. But what is it about DJs? Why can't they shut the fuck up? Ever? And so it was that halfway through the set we went to an ad break, and then the news, only to go back to hear the very last chord of what sounded like 'The loneliness of the middle distance runner'. The best song they've ever done. Cheers Bernard. Well, I suppose I could forgive him for that. But then, right at the end, after Stuart M has said 'This'll have to be our last one whether we're still on air or not-we don't know any more', and broken into the most beautiful, mesmeric rendition of 'Sleep the Clock Around' that you can imagine, fat c*nt Lenoir shouts 'What a shame! We've run out of time!', and then demonstrates how little time there is left by talking about Baby Bird's forthcoming session for 3 sodding minutes. Stupid bloody sods. Why is there not enough time for Belle and Sebastian to finish their last song, but there is enough time for a 30 minute discussion of the nature of silence? French Bloke1-Silence is solitude. French Bloke2-Yes, silence is loneliness, and it is solitude. French Bloke3-I like Bird song. For me, it is very silent. French Bloke1-And lonely. French Blokes-Yes. ARRGGHH! Kill! Hate! Kill! BTW, They sang: The Boy done wrong again, Dog on Wheels, Paper Boat (a sixtiestastic Beach Boys type thing, with Stuart David singing), Seeing other People, Century of Fakers, (break for the news) Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner(?), Mayfly, Wrong Love/Girl, Dirty Dream #2 (with Stuart D(?) doing the spoken verse in French), Poupe de Ciere.., Slow Graffiti, I Don't Love Anyone, Sleep the Clock Around. All very nice indeed. Was anyone from the list in the audience tonight? bye seb. No more posts from me today. I promise :-) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

I only know of this show b/c i am here in philly. you can purchase tickets from ticketmaster online (www.ticketmaster.com) or over the phone at 215-336-2000. Tickets are $12.50 each and with the service charge come to about $20 each. I don't know if Philadelphia is too far away from you, but hopefully you'll be able to make the show! christy -----Original Message----- From: Wise, Terri [SMTP:Private_User@mcgraw-hill.com] Sent: Monday, October 05, 1998 4:21 PM To: 'sinister(a)majordomo.net' Subject: Sinister: So I didn't know I was lying Well... alas...

I was on the Liz Phair mailing list a year or two ago, where this notion of listees playing musical homage to the list subject, also took shape. If memory serves, we had about 300 messages about this: we should do our own interpretation of Liz songs, we should perform Liz-style songs, we should do honest covers of Liz songs, we of like-Liz-mind should record any kind of song we like. etc.... Eventually, I think a tape was made containing all-of-the-above as songs. It was distributed to the "artists" and anyone else interested (not me). Eventually the recording creating alot of list noise, without much payoff. Oh well, it's a free list...do what you like. Cheers Ken Topsfield, MA - who is going to see both Liz Phair and B&S this month -> Donovan: does this entitle me to any Matador swag...a sticker perhaps? Did I mention, my extensive Yo La Tengo and Guided By Voices collections? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
