Sinister: Little green apples
by Philippe GARNIER 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

hello sweet sinisterees, People sounds were nervous here... Why is that so ? Were there some rocks in your brownies ? So ... all you need is love la lala lala all you need is love la lala lala all you need is love, love, love is all you need ! I was listening to the session on radio scotland (we wish you a merry christmas...) and I really love the song chosen by lovely Isobel. This "Present for my friends" is called Little Green Apples but I can't understand the names of the man and women who sings. Glenn Campbell ? Can someone help me and tell me on which album I can find this song ? Thanks. (I hope the answer is not in the Faqs...) I love the photo on the new single. Is the colour really orange ? I mean, orange like an apple ? Belle And Sebastian written is large letters is great ! Avant d'ouvrir le gaz, elle pense à son canari... Before leaving, I have to tell you that my fish Honey goes very well. He is very kind towards his mates, though I think he wants to promote himself as the chief in the tank. I'm leaving now, because I have to make a photo of my arms. FrogsCheeseHugsAndKIsses Philippe, your alsacian cousin PS : is anyone collecting money to help wee morrissey ? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Oops, I didn't get to vote!
by Chi.M.Lee＠usdoj.gov 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

Hello all, Sorry I don't post often. It's just that every four months or so, I usually go away for two weeks. Whenever I get back there's 700 e-mails waiting for me, and I try to read every one. So I'll make this one short and sweet. I know this is late but I'll say it to everyone: KATRINA IS MY LIST CRUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is so informative and I always go to her postings first. Hey Katrina, Are there any job openings at Jeepster? I would gladly sweep the floors and clean the toilets if that's the only thing available. To Kin Woo, I'm sorry I haven't replied to you sooner. I've listened to Mercury Rev's Deserter's Songs a few more times and I do like it very much. Holes and Goddess on a Hiway are great songs. However, that bowed saw has got to go. It is such an annoying instrument (my most humble apologies to all you bowed saw musicians out there). Lastly, I'll keep a lookout for other One Dove stuff. That's about it. Hope I haven't bored anyone. Chi M. Lee +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: November gurls
by Mark Casarotto 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

Brier's post made me sit up and take notice... If people want to learn more about the state of the tribute tape, get in touch with its compiler Jan Thorneus [bajsjan(a)yahoo.com] for info. Myself and a couple of other listees (who will remain nameless to spare them from unfortunate association with me) are doing Like Dylan in the Movies. I didn't realise before that it has a really complex keyboardy bit in the middle. Um. Also Brier, it's admirable to see that you go for girls with hair (sic) lips. You'd like Kristen then! (*NB this is a funny joke* - see her recent letters for explanation. Oh dear)... But yes, gurls are pretty fab (and one in particular). Here's to gurls!! Chin chin!! Blondin xxx p.s. Peter Miller is 11 times more desirable than me. Yup, sounds about right :)...No doubt the right man came out on top, though. Three cheers for Hunny, and may he take full advantage of the Droit de Seigneur automatically awarded as a result of the poll. Lucky bastard. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Crushes, get 'em while they're H!O!T! (includes: LLPJ's hue, B&S on 120)
by Mick McMick 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

*Waves Hello to the list* Don't you all think their should be international news coverage of the listcrush tally? Like Bernard Shaw and Kitty Pilgrim describing how such and such had really campaigned hard for their votes, or that Saint "the Body" Lucy was a big surprise at 2 votes, and it was entirely because of all the young people voting. There were several oddities, though. For instance, Mystery Date (please peruse Paul's Picture Pages for pertinent photographs) should have received 5 votes! I guess that's okay, since Stuart probably didn't know who she was, and couldn't add one more vote to her four. Also, Madame Cholet received 3 votes, and Beth Arzy received two. I wonder if Beth's personality has split, or maybe just that no one knew she was the same gal. So there's two more people with 5 votes. I'd also like to point out that the #1 Crush (I think Honey should put it in his sig) couldn't have gone to a nicer, smuttier listmummy. Also, I had to promise not to call Honey "Hunny" ever again. Sorry, folks. It wasn't handed down by Honey himself of course, but one of those many 2-voters. You see, I can claim superiority over such folk due to the fact that I received a whopping three votes! Wa-hey ;) Thank you to the two mystery voters, and thank you to the one I knew about. Speaking of that, Magnetic Megan Lehar reigns the US, nay, the North American continent with 9 votes! *cheers* The closest being a distant 4 votes away. I wonder if it would have affected her vote tally if I'd sent that scan of those photostickers in to H(u)on(n)ey. Maybe I ought to keep it to myself, to help her out in future elections. Also, nice to see the Sha-La-La list got a vote. We need some more girls. There's too many anorak-wearing boys and not enough equally-clad girls. Also, Mark Iles writes: > Someone was asking why yu couldn't use 'she and me' in a sentence. > I think it's because the two words are different declensions (is that > the word?). So you can say 'she and I' (as in 'she and I are both > wearing cardigans') or 'her and me' (as in 'Stuart Murdoch gives both > her and me palpitations'). Errr... dull post this, isn't it. Haha, I think someone should come up with a grammatical primer, all of whose examples relate somehow to this list or to Belle et Sebastian. Example: Incorrect: He warm the cockles of my heart. Correct: He warms the cockles of my heart. Also, fellow 3-voted listee Lesley Jo (back on her own) requests for members to join her in the Isobel Campbell Cutie Coalition. I wonder if she realizes that cutie is the noun to the adjective twee. Thus, if you are twee, you are a cutie. Thus I don't think this would do, as B&S don't seem to encourage any twee comparisons. Maybe if you bastardized cutie into cutey. Also, to settle the color debate, my Pantone Color Formula Guide reports that LLPJ is indeed "Rhodamine Red," a color which I'd never heard of before. Seems a shame that "Rhoda" isn't on the EP now, doesn't it? So now we have the pale blue one, the red one, the yellow one, the Rhodamine Red one, the silver one, the green one, and the orange one. So whoever it was who suggested that both Sinister et LLPJ were both red was right. Also, I enjoyed sunday's showing of "Is It Wicker Not to Chair," and have it on tape now. Er...audio tape, I mean. I plan on listening to it at every opportunity, for MTV US doesn't play B&S videos often. The thing where that one band ("Fuel," was it?) were on a stage and everyone broke the stage into little bits reminds me of a terribly punk rawk moment from my younger years as a teenager. I used to go to one of those hole-in-the-wall all-ages clubs where 8 bands play for $3. At one of the shows, my friend Dusty jumped so frantically when singing with his band "Royal Fudge & Cake" that the stage collapsed! My friend Aaron (who now is a very big B&S fan, I'm told, guess that mixtape did it after all) recovered a piece of the stage and promptly got lots of people who were there to sign it, including myself. I should see if he still has that endearing chunk of wood someday...

Sinister: smut
by azrael 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

okay, so i know the "music to have sex to" thread is long dead, but i thought i'd add a bit to it, anyway. see, up until very recently i didn't have a boyfriend. well, i was severely single for about 2 years, so i was hardly qualified to take part in that little thread, especially considering that i can barely remember my sexual experiences past 2 years ago. *sigh* anyhoo, as far as music to have sex to goes, i wouldn't reccommend "dog on wheels." the boyfriend and i tried it out last night and did nothing for either of us. in fact, i think it kind of distracted me. i kept singing along. however, we've had a lot if luck with slint's "spiderland." mmmmmmmmmmmm. okay. so there's your smut. hope you're happy. -kerry "if only i could escape and leave a dummy in my place." -bernard butler, "i'm tired." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: happiness is a warm crumpet
by Anastasia Signoretta 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

good morning, good midday, good evening lovely listees! hi there...i feel like i haven't posted in quite some time, though i probably wrote something yesterday and just don't remember posting it. i'm quite scatterbrained lately. anyhow, nothing much new to report...i fell asleep on the bus *again* this morning. oh, and i cut my hair off and i'm wearing my 'study at stow' t-shirt under a grey cardie at work today and people keep trying to read what my shirt says while at the same time trying to talk to me, it's very cute. so, some things: 1) cyberfriends/cyberreality: i studied postmodernism extensively (don't worry though, i'm not getting into that!) and cyberreality a bit in college, so i have many opinions on this topic (just ask mark c.). basically, what i want to tell all of you is, as we move into the 21st century, new technologies (oh dear it sounds like i'm writing an essay) will allow us more and more to break away from 'traditional' ways of doing things, and therefore will make new, not necessarily less valid, 'realities' exist in our lives. some people (including myself) have theories that this 'physical' reality, the one we experience with our bodies, our 'physical' identity or what have you, is only another 'version' of 'reality'...cyberrealities (you all know, as we have created a 'virtual community' right here in 'sinsterworld') do exist and just because they aren't 'physical' doesn't mean they are less valid. i know this is a difficult concept to swallow, but i really feel that this is the way things are progressing. in essence, this progression allows us to form 'relationships' that might never manifest in the physical, but can still be as meaningful as the ones we form in 'physical' reality. now, i'm still not convinced that these relationships are as *satisfying* as the ones formed in 'physical' reality, but then again some of you may beg to differ...sometimes i wonder if in years we will not need our 'physical' selves at all...? in any case, i think we've established, making friends in cyberreality is just as legitimate as making friends in 'physical' reality. we're not sad, really! :) a concept like this is difficult for my parents to understand (they think it's creepy) but then again they are not part of this computer generation. this stuff will be second nature to our kids. wow, that was a bit wanky. anyhow... 2) 'velvet goldmine' (for the non-twee among us): PHWOAR! rather, jonathan rhys meyers = PHWOAR!!! with pink hearts and glitter stars and lots of exclamation points. the film wasn't too awful either, if you take it for what it is. though (smut content) i was disappointed that the only naked male we see is ewan mcgregor, whose goods we've already been allowed to peek at in 'trainspotting.' :( now, my real question: is that fab soundtrack available in the states? 3) tiswas in nyc: please come to dance. every saturday night at don hill's. please, the place needs some adorable people, and of course i'm calling on you. 4) list crush: disappointed to see i still hold only one vote. *sigh* well, whoever you are, cheers... and now, for some belle and sebastian content, more or less... 5) what this list is about: i mean, that's for each of us to decide individually, and if what goes on makes you happy, then yay happiness joy. personally, i adore our virtual community, i like being part of a list about belle and sebastian *fans* as well as belle and sebastian themselves, because i think we're all pretty special, don't you? 6) seymour stein: the real man, not the song. i saw him on some vh-1 special, 'before they were famous' or something like that. he was talking about how he discovered *madonna*. oh dear. he is the prototypical 'label exec' and i just...well, i just can't imagine what he and b&s talked about over dinner... 7) 'is it wicked not to care?' video: i didn't see it. :( 8) 'modern rock song' ep: this is a 'david and katrina question' (tm), perhaps...is the ep available in the states *now*? you've probably answered this already and i should just go look in the archives and apologies apologies. 9) mark's ink polaroid of me: cheers luv! that polaroid is all true, it really happened, and it was a really lovely moment. but what was that bit about being 'up honey's bum' all about? 10) 'physical' reality crushes (this *is* related to b&s, sort of): i met this, this...*embodiment* of physical perfection complete with tongue piercing this past weekend, and now he's a bit glam rock, yet when i asked him if he likes belle and sebastian he replied, 'well i think it's good music to listen to when you're going to sleep...' oh dear...should i pursue this relationship? er, right. enough from me. you win the prize if you reached the end of this message. kisses, stasia +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
