Sinister: Celebs n' Seb
by bkim0＠dept.english.upenn.edu 02 Nov '98

02 Nov '98

Just read AP (the shadow of its former self) on my lunch break, and hte last page celebrity interview thingy was with Sandra Bernhard. Well, among her favorite new artists is none other than Bn'S. She said something like "I really have to get the new one...I really loved _IYFS_, it had this '60s/'70s vibe without really trying." Just months ago it seemed I read Chloe Sevigny's interview and she also is a big fan, comparing them to the Smiths. So far the celebs who like B&S seem pretty respectable I suppose and not hugely mainstream...we're still a ways away from The View interviewing Sarah and Isobel on their next stop in the US, but really, with that kind of star power behind the band, you just know they're going to explode in some way. I predict it'll be on the soundtrack of a movie...

What mighty fine taste he has, this was one of those cd collections that just screams buy me buy me when you see it. So my Dad did, his era you see. But not to worry I have conviscated it. Uninteresting and irrelevent story: My middle name is Leon because they decided that Leon Huff was such a legend. Any way, I'll get my coat. It's getting colder now, and remember to wrap up warm to avoid hyperthermia.

Sinister: THE SHOW LAST NIGHT
by TopBanana1＠aol.com 02 Nov '98

02 Nov '98

BELLE & SEBASTIAN- NOV 1, 1998- SUPPER CLUB lets see.... me aaron & maurice got there at about 10 to 7, met up with stephen, my love, then we waited on line for a half hour or so i think, got a tshirt, stuff to drink, just sat around deciding weather or not to steal the B & S posters on the walls. Aaron took one. Stephen was jealous! We shoulda all taken. the opening band Containe was kinda mediocre, your average pop/rock band, a few nice progressions, but nothing great. they messed up a few times, i think she dropped her pic, im not sure, but I dont think anyone cared. no one was listening anyway. one of the guitarists was smoking while he was playing guitar. The smoke from the cigarette looked pretty sexy rising up from his guitar into a white wave in the air, but completely unpractical. That band was not good enough to be able to smoke & play at the same time. one or the other buddy! Im so mean, sorry, they really weren't THAT bad. Stephen wanted to know why he wasnt allowed to smoke inside the venue! (The supper club is a gorgeous venue, by the way. Complete with mints the the bathrooms.) so now containe finished!! yay!!! Belle & sebastian are coming on soon! We're standing there for about a half hour singing to beatles tunes, the name game, reaching our retard potential, and finally they come on. I was psyched like crazy, antisipating this moment for months down to weeks down to days to hours to minutes. And "the state i am in" comes on, good song, but i was looking for a little more excitement. ok, fine, next song, "belle & sebastian", i was looking for a little more excitement. Next song, Slow Graffiti, nice song, but im looking for a little more exitement, play me & the major or soemthing. was not my favorite set list. nope. theyt played some great songs though, shes losing it i loved, seeing other people was nice. simple things spectacular, tis a shame its only a minute long. They did a beautiful cover of turn turn turn. Stuart M. has nice arms. Stuart D. has a nice face. for Spaceboy dream they put on the big disco ball, very cool. then there was another series of songs i didnt know from the EPs. Im quite ashamed but i got bored from that, laying my head on stephens shoulder. Aaron seemed to be enjoying it though, dancing around. the crowd was sorta lame. everyone was dressed cool and everything but when it came down to the actual music, lots of people didnt seem to be into it, they werent moving around at all, not even tapping their feet, they were just staring at the stage. Maybe they did enjoy it and they dont feel the urge to dance around when they like music, i dont know. Youd think everyone there was a critic or something, all they did was stand there and look at the band, analyzing it or something, but there was lots of applause after each song, so i guess they did like it. Us 4 and, at most, only 2 other handfuls of people that i saw were going crazy, but maybe thats because we were a little drunk.I think i woulda been like that either way. or maybe not. but who cares cause it was more fun this way. Thanks Stephen!!!!! I got a bit of a belly ache though. The set was pretty short. not happy with the set list. but of course thats only according to my taste. Im sure someone else loved it. no dissapointments without expectations. We all cheered for an encore but it didnt happen. Concerts over, stephen gets another beer. We get out jackets from the coat check, aaron got soem autographs, I spoke to the hot guy in the yellow shirt. He was 28 but he looked like a baby. Most people there were older, like late 20's. I know its not old, but for me, being 15, it is. Um, so thats about it. As we're walking out the door either Maurice or Aaron shook Staurt D.s hand cause he was talking to him before, so i just shook his hand for the hell of it. sexy handshake! Im in love with Staurt D. Isobel was wearing a funny white dress or something with sequins, haha, so cute. Ok, took two pictures with me maurice stephen and aaron, gave stephen a goodbye hug and went home. love shirl ___________ <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/topbanana1/index.html"> Shirley Braha's Homepage </A> ___________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: gOD THIS IS GRIM
by ETLRDHY＠notes.ericsson.se 02 Nov '98

02 Nov '98

Dear all, Hello. Hope it has been a fruitful weekend for everybody. Halloween, what a load of arse that is. Unfortunately I got myself into a wee bit of a state on Friday night and missed the rest of the weekend. What a shame, missing out on a load of drunken revellers decked out in bin liners and bad eye make-up. I've been left alone in the office this evening, every so often someone has to stay until 7pm and this week it's me. Oh joy of fucking joys. I really cannot be bothered working at this time of night. Luckily the boss goes away at 17:30 so I don't have to do an awful lot but it's dark now and sort of creepy. It's very odd being here alone, in this huge state of the art office thing in the middle of the Sussex downs. Just me and the security guards who are roaming the building just about now looking for I don't know what really. Mind you I'm glad there here. I've only been here for a while and it's odd being left on my own. Somebody just phoned in with a critical fault and I don't really know what to do, or who to tell. Maybe I should just throw it into the bin or something. I don't seem to cope awfully well with pressure and responsibility of anykind. Not that I'm some sort of flake or anything. I don't know. Quite tired now actually. AND, AND RIGHT I've got to get all the way back to Brighton after this. Oooh I'm getting a headache and I'm starting to feel a bit nauseous. I suppose I can e-mail in a lot more privacy with everyone else at home. There's this one woman on my team called Jill and she just doesn't like me at all. I don't know what I've done but she seems to look at me in a certain way. A which suggests that she's thinking 'You may fool the others but you don't fool me.' WHY???? What have I ever done to her. NOTHING that's what!!! 35mins to go and I'll be free, until tomorrow. I'll be too late home to buy any cheese!!!! Disaster. Is anyone going to see the fireworks up at the ally pally this weekend? Not that anyone will answer this question cos no'one will be arsed to read this tedious post all the way to the end. Goodbye Love RIchardxxxxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Dog On Wheels--availability
by IndiaRubb＠aol.com 02 Nov '98

Just wondering if Dog On Wheels has become tough to get as an import in the US. The guy at my local record store said he's been trying to get it in stock for ages, and I noticed CDNow has it on backorder... (sorry if it's been asked before, but searching the archives is a pain...I get terrible DL rates to the site) gwt +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Advice to those seeking nov 2nd tickets
by Scott Turner 02 Nov '98

02 Nov '98

Last night there were a number of people sporadically showing up at the Supper Club selling extra tickets. I was out there for a while and saw at least a good 10+ transactions at (for the most part) warm and fuzzy prices. I got one ticket for $20 (actually I gave the girl an extra five bucks also because she was broke and wanted a t-shirt) and then i got the second ticket for maki (my girlfriend) for free from Jenny (i hope i got the name right) who had two spots on the guest list. Just a tip for the distraught. .scott ps: THANKs again Jenny, you're as pure as the cold driven snow. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: judy and the dream of horses
by azriel 02 Nov '98

02 Nov '98

so i was at the flea market with teri yesterday and we found something really strange. it was this box with a doll and a horse in it. the doll was named Judy, and the horse was, well, her horse. it was like $10. if it had been cheaper i would've bought it and sent it to someone from the band. it was just a little too silly. of course, i could've just stolen it and been the girl who stole a horse . . . -kerry "it's alright, sugar. it's a crazy world, it's a bit absurd." -komeda +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

HELP! Mercury Rev are sold out! Does anybody out there (well, out there in London/South area) have a Mercury Rev ticket (Highbury Garage - Wednesday 4th Nov) going for sale?! I MUST see them (one of my long time favourite bands you see) I'm such a lazy bugger and always put off buying tickets till another day BUT this time I have finally learnt my lesson! I'm a very desperate man, so I'll pay good money! Here's hoping....... Sebastian. ("Oh Sebastian went too far again.........") (not the usual one - I've been skulking in the shadows for the past year - waiting for something even mildly interesting to say) PS Oh yeah, erm... e-mail me personally if anyone has a ticket then we can come to some arrangement, cheers! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
