by Karen David 30 Nov '98

Hey Kids, Just wondering if I could ask a favour of you all. Yorkshire TV are making some sort of TV programme with the NME, and there's going to be a bit on us in it. Anyway, we're looking for people who have might have some sort of interesting anecdote involving, or revolving around, B&S. Maybe you pulled at a gig, or even crashed and burned with some lovely in a B&S t-shirt. It doesn't even have to be about love. Just anything interesting really. There's not too much time, so if you can think of anything, mail me at belleandsebastian(a)classic.msn.com as soon as you can, otherwie we won't get on the telly, and either will you, or your voice at least. Don't Be Shy, Cheers, Neil +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Speed The Plough
by It's me! 30 Nov '98

"annastasia saffrone" <frumpi(a)hotmail.com> asked: > > > have any listees heard of speed the plough?? Yeah, great stuff. I especially recommend the first album (self-titled). The 2nd is good too (Wonder Wheel). After that I wasn't as excited. All are avalable from East Side Digital records. > the band consists of members from the feelies/luna/yang wu???? Feelies yes, Luna no, _Yung_ Wu same as Feelies. Once the Feelies broke up Brenda made STP more perminent. But not to be overlooked is the three piece (STP is at least 5 or 6) Wild Carnation which she and another STPer were (are?) in. They used to do one or two STP songs live. STP never toured much... > i would love to float under any circumstances Notice the moment right before you go to sleep happy.

Sinister: re: being alone
by Pulpbot＠aol.com 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

>>why can't i be happy being alone, and why isn't that okay with >>everyone else? not everyone is meant for someone. >What I learned is that if you want to be happy being alone, >everybody else will be =perfectly= happy with that decision. Like >me, say. Har har. Ouchie. >>I have been wondering about that a lot .. I am a loner most of the time cos I am very narrowminded and need to get my own way ..and can't amuse myself like everybody else (I don't to) ...hell, as an only child I always thought that I'd written the book on being alone, but then I read Sartre, you know? The more happiness I experience, the more it dawns on me that there is no one person/place/job/whatever that can ever totally push away the pain that comes with being alive, unless you're some idiot in total denial. These thoughts generally occur to me on Sunday afternoon, or whenever I hear football games on television, oddly enough. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: After filling my fat face
by Reid Dossinger 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Odds and ends, as usual. I just got back from a three-day feeding binge to the very interesting (things have picked up a bit) pile of digests and was pretty entertained for the first time in a long time. Is anyone else beginning to tingle with excitement for the new EP? Man, I can't wait. I'm setting up a tent beside my mailbox on Dec 7 and I'm not moving until it gets here. I picked up the copy of Magnet that has the two page article on B&S (mostly an interview w/ Richard)...aside from the paint-by-numbers intro (I'd give my right arm of sex for an article about B&S that doesn't mention the word "shy"), it's really good and very informative, for once. I'll transcribe a few of the details to the list when I get a few minutes tonight or tomorrow unless someone sends in an objection. Bill Moss wrote: > what istrument is playing in the the begining of 'if you're feeling > sinister?' it's the one that fades in and out - is that a pedal steel, > slide or cello? and who are those kids? > Ooh, I checked those fancy-ass new archives for this, and it wasn't in there (although I think Katrina and/or David wrote something about the kids a while back). So, an answer: If I'm not mistaken, that's an electric guitar using the simple but incredible trick of strumming a chord with the volume down at 0, and then slowly turning the volume knob up and then back down, creating a beautiful swell effect. The bassist of the band that I used to be in did this all the time. I never objected.No one else but Brad could have written: > speaking of daring, i > watched a g.g. allin documentary today and he, among other things, > crapped on stage, licked it, rubbed it on his face and his naked body, > and threw it at the crowd. that's what i want more of at shows. > Stevie did that at the DC show. Did I forget to mention that? Sorry. It was during the break in Sleep the Clock Around, when I had my glasses off. And was drunk. And was watcing the GG Allin documentary. > I can also make most of you dead jealous by letting you know we got a hold > of the promo copies of the new EP this week, icky brown cover and all. > Brown?! BROWN?!!! When the hell did this happen and why wasn't I notified?! The last I saw on the Jeepster site it was orange. Orange. I know orange when I see orange, mister, even if I can't rhyme it. Did they change it? If they did, I'm disappointed. I was going to get an extra copy and tie it to a piece of string. Then I was going to hide in alleys and when a Smiths fan mistook it for Louder Than Bombs, I was going to yank it up and then laugh at the poor Smiths fan: "Ha ha! It's not Louder Than Bombs at all! It's Belle and Sebastian! They're totally different!" This would have entertained me for hours, but I can't do it if it's brown. <sigh> You see though a goldfish bowl, Reid +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: just thought I'd say some things, i have B&S content to, who will buy my shares??
by Sarah 29 Nov '98

29 Nov '98

I haven't got anything in my CD player, but my WINAMP player has got THE BUGALOO'S on repeat. Its more enjoyable than you would think! I've just been to the list crush site, yes, it has gone too far, but I've seen I have three votes, so I don't mind!! Now my WINAMP player has JAMIE AND THE MAGIC TORCH ON. WOW. ITS PUNK!!! The start IS Radios in Motion by XTC.....I used to love Jamie...but no-one remembered it :( I am happy. Isn't downloading things like the old KIAORA advert and kids TV themes just so COOL! We're off to Button Moooooon, we'll follow Mister Spooooon Button Mooooon! Butooon Mooooo-oooooooon!!!! Oon! THe Pixies sing about you. ...they think they are you. THats scary. They sing 'I am Oon, chien andalucia...', but you arne't an Andalucian dog, oh well never mind, Sarah? (What?) GO HOME. OK.... My fanzine is goin gvery well. I have B&S in it. I haven't asked them yet, but I don't thnk Stuart David would like it, perhaps cos I have refered to him as 'smelly' throughout....! I also have some Melys stuff, a band from 'round ere' called Quick Fade, a loevly article on WHY EVERYTHING IS SHIT, and then a page about chocolates. And the front cover has a picture of Audrey Hepburn on it cos she's pretty. THe zine is called COCK FUN. Now I have INSPECTOR GADGET ON!!!!!!!! Inspector Gadget ...woo woo! Go Gadget Go!!!! boop boop! I think B&S are more inspired by the theme tune to Rainbow than anything else. Richard is anyway, with that funky drumbeat at the end...and that recorder has OBVIOUSLY inspired Sarah and Isobel, durr. I bet Stuart M first got an acoustical geetar so he could play along to Rainbow. If you come through you're gonna have yourself a scooby snack, thats a fact! I really recommend tv.cream.org Its....unbelievably good.... I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Sinister: Modern Rock Song Star
by Niceaction＠aol.com 29 Nov '98

29 Nov '98

Evening people, ok, who is the cover start of Modern Rock Star e.p. ?? it looks a bit like Ian Brodie, but i dont think B&S would hang around with him since he sold out with that footy song. It could be Stuart David, but there is no sign of Karn anywhere so i doubt it is him. And what is he looking at ?? he has quite an inquisitive look on his face, almost as if he is watching something he shouldnt be, like two dogs going at it with each other.Two Male dogs actually !! isnt that one of the funniest things to see ever.. i dunno, it must be my sense of humour i guess. Is the cover star wearing large flying glasses, or are they really cool glasses straight from the "box of items needed to impersonate Elvis" ?? Im off, take it easy Jamie In my cd player - Erik Satie - Piano Music +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: New Extended Play Record

Hi All, (The I'm sure not EEVL) Linda wrote: Keith Watson wrote >Ps : Just to clarify, in case people didn't read the Duke's message >clearly enough - here's a summary - he's got the new EP Just to clarify, Keith hasn't. :) ..Is there no justice? PS Neither have we. PPS No, there isn't We don't have TIJAMRS either (in fact I haven't worn anything in bed for decades now) ...........................but my daughter's boyfriend's best mate has a promo and he doesn't like B & S so we've got it for the weekend yipeeeeeeeee! However, as we don't like to think of the whole B & S clan and their dependents and Katrina & David and any other Jeepster employees starving in their garrets please rest assured that we will rush out and purchase a moral and legal copy tomorrow. Then Struan can buy himself a matching silver t-shirt to showcase the arms of S!E!X. I have to agree with The Dook (does he call himself that because his real name's Marian?) about 75% of it being absolutely spiffing, even though writing songs is not as sinister friendly as riding buses. I am still trying to love The Gate, although several repeated listenings have failed to get any of it to stick in my head. No matter, there's hardly any bands releasing material that I even like three quarters of. I love the tune of I Know Where The Summer Goes, so pretty, and so B&S to be singing of smelly armpits to it! Question to Mr Symington: where was the animal photo taken, or taken from? Excited, David Moore Chelmsford, UK PS: Been reading the N. Brake bio like a good Sinisterine recently. His Housemaster at Marlborough went to the same school as me, (and that druggy bloke who wrote about Kubla Khan). God I'm famous.

Sinister: fashion : I am in a dress, I am in a mess
by Arantxa Sanz 29 Nov '98

29 Nov '98

Hello! Actually, I am not in a dress but in a silverish grey pencil skirt and baby blue tight wolly jumper.I am afraid it is not very fashionable in the B&S fans' way, but it is true. But I don't even know yet what it is that I should not get in any case, that's puffer or puffa jackets or whatever... My question is : 'I am in a mess...etc' is it a quote from some song? >From which, if it is really?
