Sinister: Nov 2nd Show
by ~Dana~ 03 Nov '98

Well, I am more enthralled than I thought possible now that I have seen them play live. Their voices are so exquisite, they're even prettier than when recorded. They didn't play much from Sinister, mostly TBWTAS and some stuff I didnt know (no, I am not lucky enough to have a copy of tigermilk). the band was thanking people towards the end ofthe show, and some kid shouted 'what about all the kids i drove to philly' and the band froze. i felt awful for them. i dont think the kid realized that it was such an obnoxious thing to say (sorry if someone on the list is that kid). they were really sweet and apologetic about the whole thing. and isobel was like 'i was sick, and i shouldnt sing this next song, but i will cause im naughty' (she's so damn cute with that little voice of hers) and she sang a song in french-pardon my ignorance for not knowing the title of the song- and then it was over. sigh... anyhow, even the opening bands were good. eugene kelly opened, and people were shouting 'who are you?' at him, and finally his bassist was like 'eugene used to be in the vasolines.' anyway, i think everyone felt kind of bad when they realized that they hadn't recognized the guy who wrote so many important songs for the early 'alternative' music scene. eugene totally knew they felt dumb though- he was like 'here's this song i wrote' and he played jesus dont want me for a sunbeam.' some girl next to me was like 'hey, why is he covering nirvana?' it was kinda funny. then guv'ner played, and i actually really liked them as well. they kept talking about it being their last show- iwasnt sure whether it was some inside-indie-rock joke or they were really breaking up. they played a good set though, people got pretty into it. so overall i had a great night.... i hope they come back soon : ) dana +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: B&S at CMJ? methinks not.
by matthew william snyder 03 Nov '98

03 Nov '98

| | Hmm...Belle & Sebastian are in New York, CMJ is in New York...anyone | have any info on an informal show perhaps under a different name. well, it would seem unlikely. stuart murdoch announced last night that he was flying back to scotland today along with other members of the band, and if they wouldn't play a show without isobel, i doubt they would play one without stu m. the highlight of the show last night was "i know where the summer goes," although i was disappointed by the fact that they skipped over "get me away from here..." which was on their set list. i guess they were in a hurry to get off the stage. the weird part was that the stage manager guy decided to leave the lights down low, as though they were going to do an encore, for a few minutes. it seemed to be some sort of cruel prank. did anyone understand what the sound man said through the P.A. near the end of the set? something about "bitch bitch bitch"? it seemed very naughty, whatever it was. does anyone even know what i am talking about? -matthew +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I dream about horses
by TFertig3＠aol.com 03 Nov '98

03 Nov '98

Dear list, Although I only went to the 1st NY show, here is my conclusion for the both combined. Each one seems to have its highlights. I would have liked to hear Lonliness..., Paper Boat, Photo Jenny, Beautiful and a few others, but then I heard State I Am In, Lazy Line Painter Jane, She's Losing It, and Lord Anthony. And they were fantastic. Therefore, I can only say that I wish I'd been to both! Poo poo. Here's my first contribution to the smut of the list. I was listening to Judy and the Dream of Horses, and my mom told me dreams about horses are dreams about sex. Does everybody know this? Is it just me at my young innocent age who doesn't know about this? Now I understand the song in an entirely different way and Judy isn't the girl I thought she was! Oh, so that's what all those dreams about horses I've been having are about.. Here's one more that I forgot to mention about the Nov 1 NY show. During one song Stu M got really into his dancing, which is bopping his head back and forth like Paul McCartney, and when the song suddenly ended he was still bopping his head. He tried to stop gracefully but his head wouldn't stop bopping. He's a really cute boy. Stu D isn't as cute as in his photographs. Chris is cuter than in his photographs. Averaged out, they'll all pretty darn cute. Bye bye, Tami +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: international pop overthrow
by Tara Widmer 03 Nov '98

03 Nov '98

well smack my bottom and call me delilah! guess who got her Study at Stow with Belle and Sebastian t-shirt today? that's right sugar, you heard me!!! after a month of anxiously waiting... In a fit of uncontrollable glee I ripped open the packaging and giggling like a ... giggly little girly-thing, pulled it on right away!!! From the blank stares of co-workers, whose comments ranged from "who's that supposed to be?" to "oh, blue isn't really your color, is it?" it's been a bit difficult to gauge the hipster value, but i have faith that it won't be long... Anyway, unfortunately, t-shirts don't really fall under my boss's opinion of "professional business attire" so I had to take it off right away... and managed to get make-up all over the collar...:-( but i am sooo happy, thanks so much David and Katrina and whoever else is responsible. (And the small really *is* small, it's not Gap-sized "small", i.e. the size for a pro wrestler.) Who needs a grubby show, when you can have a tshirt??... *sigh*, not kidding anyone, am i. << got behind this guy in a pea coat for awhile and then he turned around and started walking my direction and sweet jesus it was Henry Thomas! It turns out he's a big Belle and Sebastian fan (he's even onthis list) >> Wow I wonder how many other celebrities are on this list. Henry was a crush for me too, and Nicholas from "Eight is Enough". BTW Big Stu, how many people can we vote as our list crush?? I'm finding it hard to choose just one out of 800+ people. of course, bribes could make the decision a bit easier.....;-) tata, tara the vampire slayer +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: why don't people fall over more getting off buses?

[ The following text is in the "iso-8859-1" character set. ] [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set. Some ] [ characters may be displayed incorrectly. ] >lurch inelegantly towards the "press" button >He pressed the button in the usual fashion Has anyone else noticed that this button pressing does not occur in Glasgow? When I was younger, and travelled on buses more often (I think it was the number 52) I new these buttons existed (sometimes they were rails in the roof), but never saw anyone press them. I kinda assumed if you did the driver would lamp you for being a condascending little bastard - after all, he is a bus driver and knows he has to stop at bus stops. But when I went to uni I noticed all these people getting up and pressing the buttons to tell the driver they weren't just going for a wee walk to the front of the bus. And now, in England, there is a little light that comes on saying 'Bus Stopping'. I guess it is just the drivers being condascending back. I only mention it cause it pisses the fuck out of me, and I gather there a few bus experts on the list. Did you know that Gail Porter has a pierced nipple? Now theres a dirty bitch hiding under a pure exterior. Probably. And shes got one of those hate-it-cause-its-Edinburgh-but-its-sexy-anyway accents. Hmmmm. Unfortuately its all a sham. Despite looking like a foxy 19 year old, she is in fact 27!! Way too old for me. Cat Deeley on the other hand... A South Park cover? Thats gotta be worth hearing. Lyrics anyone?

Sinister: why don't people fall over more getting off buses?
by Neil Dewhurst 03 Nov '98

03 Nov '98

This is a serious point, and one which always occurs to me when I stand up laden with bags and lurch inelegantly towards the "press" button before skewing off towards the door, or, more probably, an elderly blind lady or a large tattooed ex-con. I've only ever seen one person injure themselves badly on attempting to leave a bus, which is surprising given the number I've travelled on. I was on my way home to Pamber End just north of Basingstoke in lovely North Hampshire when an elderly gentleman stood up to get off the bus. He pressed the button in the usual fashion, and started moving down to the front of the bus. His confident swagger proved to be his undoing however, as I shall relate. The beginning The bus stop he chose to exit at is by far the most dangerously placed bus-stop in the known-world. Placed just after a nasty ninety-degree right hand corner, and on a straight strip of road of the sort of length which for some reason obliges bus drivers to accelerate as hard as possible from a standing start only to come to a sudden halt ten yards past the bus stop, it represents a death-trap to the unsound of foot. On this particular occasion, the driver (who we shall call Cuthbert because I don't think there's ever been a bus-driver called Cuthbert) recorded a personal best time for this eighty yard section of road and was forced to brake even more sharply than usual. The old man, who shall remain nameless to protect his dignity, was caught unawares, sauntering as he was along the aisle. Suddenly he found himself running instead of walking, and then, as he tried to latch onto some kind of rail to act as a brake, spun round and running backwards towards the front of the bus. The bus and the old man stopped at the same time - the bus ten yards past its stop, and the old man in a heap at the front of the bus. Cuthbert leaned out of his booth, his face showing a blank lack of concern for the casualty he had created. A middle-aged lady ran to the victim's aid, and after a moment the bus crawled forwards. The bus took a small diversion before its next scheduled stop, for fortune had been smiling on this poor elderly spinning gentleman, in the shape of the North Hants County Hospital. After a while a wheelchair was brought out and the man was taken into the big white building of health. Cuthbert resumed his mad bus driving behaviour, and I went home and wondered, as I still do, whether he was trying to get to the hospital anyway. Perhaps he was visiting someone, or perhaps he was on his way to receive treatment. It shows the cruelty in me that I even wonder if he might have been on his way to see an ear specialist about the recent deterioration in his sense of balance. The end For those of you still with me - thank you for listening. PS - would being 24 and buying a Bruce Hornsby album for £1.99 in order to recapture the days of youth and "The way it is" be considered a sad thing? I thought so. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
