Sinister: Confessions of a gusher

Even Ms. Lesley Miller, who was wearing a Isobel-tribute necklace obviously realized that Belle and Sebastian are regular people (wonderful story, by the way, Lesley). And by "regular", I'm assuming that you mean that, like all of us, they have the capacity to be annoying, angry, afraid, blah blah blah. We're all aware of that. But none of us are on this list because the members of Belle and Sebatian are really really nice. And I'm going to assume that neither Matador or Jeepster signed B&S because, hey, they're just like you and me. The thing is, they're NOT just like you and me. At least, they're not like me, and if they're anything like you, I'd love to hear your stuff sometime. 'Cause these are people who have it in them to create perfect music. That's not normal. Not for me, anyway. I guess the point I'm getting at is that anyone is welcome to just see Belle and Sebastian as just a bunch of regular folk who ended up in a band together. But I'll be the first to admit that they're much more to me than that. If any of you can write Slow Graffiti or write the horn part to Sleep the Clock Around or come up with the snare fills in The Boy With the Arab Strap, I'll gladly consider you idol-worthy, too. Believe it or not, I have the capacity to treat the members of Belle and Sebastian as normal people if I ever had the chance to talk to them (sticking my head out of a passing car's window doesn't count as "talking to"). But...I'm sorry, Stuart and co. are just going to have to live with the fact that they create incredible music and that makes some people a little gushy. I'm a gusher, I admit. Maybe it's a good thing that they're in Scotland and I'm in North Carolina. > maybe I'm being harsh, but can you imagine how many > "how much your music means to me" speeches, they've heard by now? > Remember, this is Stuart Murdoch we're talking about, a man who once admitted that he traveled to London with the sole purpose of finding the guy from Felt so that he could, essentially, give him the "how much your music means to me" speech. If anyone's going to understand being profoundly moved by a band to the point where you just HAVE to tell them in person, it's Mr. Murdoch. Belive it or not, Gram, I do understand what you're saying. But if I had the chance to spend as much time with Stuart M. as you did, I wouldn't just say, "Hey, Stuart. Seen any good TV lately?" I'd want to tell him (calmly) something along the lines about how his songs came along when Ididn't think I could be *that* moved by music anymore, about how often I've teared up over how many of his songs, about how Seeing Other People is still as great as the first time I heard it. And honestly, selfishly, I really don't care if he's heard it a million times before. I just wish I could have let him *know*, regardless of whether he cares or not. You're welcome to feel sorry for me now if you want. I'm kind of enjoying it, though. Only slightly mental, Reid +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the allure of Stu and Isobel
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 05 Nov '98

05 Nov '98

well, it's only appropriate i should say it would be sad the both of them are spoken for, but on the other hand, i could think of nothing more appropriate......i didn't notice any particular loving glances at the dc show, but they did seem to be hanging around together in the bus, ahem.......no i didnt' mean it THAT way......but the way it was described here made my own heart want to melt, because i know exactly how he was feeling.....maybe that's what that funny look he gave me was about....."Yeah, I know...." How cute and a bit sad at the same time. So are there as many people here with isobel crushes as I would expect? someone speak up. I need support at this trying time. it's been years since i had a crush on a pop star and i'm feeling rather well, ridiculous. I want to build a shrine to her and a secret society, and i want her to go solo so we can hear her lovely voice all by itself, at least now and then......awwww stu and isobel, i think i'm going to cry if i think about it any more so i just won't.

Sinister: he's not kissing his reflection
by TFertig3＠aol.com 05 Nov '98

Dear list, So, can anyone confirm Stu M and Isobel's love for one another?? David? Katrina? I'm just kidding of course. It's none of my business, though I am madly in love with Stuey. He's only.. twice my age after all.. I did see him so generously offer Isobel a bottle of water during the show.. I just realized an interesting conversation piece I could have used if I had talked to B&S. The road I live on is called Belle Arbor. So I do have something in common with B&S, and I'd also allow them to change their name to Belle and Arbor if that copyright issue ever pulled through. Oh, I saw the lovely photograph of a real, living, genuine arab strap in Select! It wasn't at all what I expected though. I still don't understand the spikes... Another question left unanswered, perhaps I'd be best not to know.. I don't have a list crush and I didn't see any celebrities at the New York gigs. Bye bye, Tami +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Just a quick note about the tape tree... Hey! I haven't gotten a new tape tree tape in aeons. Well, at least six weeks. I am just wondering what is up? Erin, Happy Birthday, sweetie. I lost your new email address. Maybe you could set some of the branches on fire for me? Is someone just sitting on them all? Shame on you! By the way, I haven't heard any feedback about my tape. Was it that awful? What?! You don't like Perrey and Kingsley? Sheesh. Hi Brad! Glad yer back, dude. Hi Robbie! Welcome aboard.

hi boys and girls well, i have had no time lately, as i was so busy having fun this weekend that i got way behind in homework and have subsequently been having a series of minor crisises, as anyone in the chatroom could attest too. but i skipped class this afternoon and i'm taking a break from making the star for my next film (out of cardboard and aluminum foil) so i could anwser some lewd and lascidious posts.
