That's the closest i've come to getting a list crush yet, having someone remember to distinguish me from their true crush. Which i guess is better than not being remembered at all. It's kind of like that oh-so-clever listee who was gonna change their name to 'Phillipe' to get all the mistaken fans of Philippe one-l two-p's. I thought that was a brilliant idea. Maybe i'll have a list crush on that person, though i forget who it was. Phillipe. Hmm, maybe i'd get more list crushes if i talked about all my boy troubles. It worked for Jessicaxo, right? But i just get depressed thinking about it. Plus, i always worry that one of these boys will somehow read this list, cos i always have enough taste to get involved with boys who like Belle and Sebastian, even if i don't have much more taste than that. Cos apparently it takes a teensy bit more taste than that, believe it or not.

Sinister: makin mixes for da masses
by TheAdwiz＠aol.com 17 Nov '98

17 Nov '98

i've realized how much music i've discovered by listening to mixes my friends have made. it's really given me an opportunity to hear bands i would have never otherwise heard and buy their albums. so i've decided that i will make anyone a mix tape on the condition they make one for me. it's a fair trade. 90 minutes for 90 minutes. i have a large cd collection (800 cds) and i'm always looking to hear new stuff and i love it when i share my music. so please contact me if interested. i am legendary amongst my friends for my mix capabilities. it's like my grandma used to say, "there's nothing like good mix". -arye (means "lion") +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Hello listees, This may not interest all of you, but in all fairness, after being on this list for many months, I have to say this is unnecessarily rude. Just for the record - I don't think there is room on this list for name-calling. Definitely not in the spirit of Belle & Sebastian.

Why is it that every time I check my mail, I have 175 emails all from the Sinister Belle and Sebastian fan club list, and usually none of them have anything to do with Belle and Sebastian. Why is this? I end up not even reading most of them because I know that if one is about Belle and Sebastian, it's about how Stuart Murdoch and Isobel might be a couple--who cares? I don't think either of them enjoy your assumptions of their relationship.

YES!! I remember the show so well, that is actually why I listened to the band for the first time (oh, I can see that day so clearly)!! Little Sebastian and beautiful Belle, I watched it every day after school- it was on Nickelodeon at 4pm, I believe...? What was the name of the little dog who went around with them on their Alpine Adventures? Or the name of the grandfather character? Oh, wow, this is bringing back memories...but obviously not too many, as I cannot remember the names of any of these characters...hmmmmm.... >>> "Frank Yang" <fyang(a)itl.ca> 11/12 1:14 PM >>> What I don't understand is why no one ever discusses the cartoon. I for one actually remember the show - can't remember if I liked it or not, though. I think that I watched it cause it was a cartoon and that was good enough for me. When I told my brother that the Belle & Sebastian show in Toronto was cancelled, he said of course it was - it's a cartoon. More with than I usually give him credit for. So does anyone own a Great Pyreness named Belle? Know a small Swiss boy named Sebastian?

Sinister: Imaginary riders
by Aranzazu Sanz-Garcia 17 Nov '98

17 Nov '98

Dear list : I never had an imaginary horse as Genevieve, or any other pet,but as many other children in the world , quite likely being spoilt and lonely only children as myself, I had an imaginary friend who stayed friens with me since I was three till I was five or so... The funny thing is he , whose name was Looky, spoke in English and he lived very far from me...obviously I could not speak English at all when I was three as I am from Madrid and my parents are both Spanish.I used to pick up the phone and talked to him in my invented English, something as gla gli gli and so.I think I suffered from some severe Anglophilia when I was a kid, as I used to try to sing in English too, probably inherited by the big fan of the Kinks and the Small Faces my dad was and is, who has not clue of English but tries to make his best humming 'All day, all day ...etc' I know all this stuff about imaginary friends /pets is not very much of B&S content , but it sounds as very of them at the same time.Perhaps we could inspire some songlyrics...

Sinister: GLMPRS
by Archel 17 Nov '98

17 Nov '98

Dearest list, Genevieve - you rock. Incidentally, I had five imaginary dogs when I was younger - any thoughts on how to interpret this anyone? None of them were on wheels though. Thanks Arantxa for liking the pome. Jennifer wrote about left-handed people. I have come to the conclusion, on empirical evidence, that lefties are more intelligent, more creative, more sensitive, and better in bed that righties. I wish I was one. (My boyfriend is which is the next best thing I suppose.) LLPJ = magenta Tigermilk = generally lovely muted pastel rainbow shades (GLMPRS) I love the variety in the covers, font and colour and everything, though it does slightly conflict with my journalistic side which likes uniformity in magazines, papers etc (including the one I edited last year about which I was probably annoyingly anal.) But the entire packaging experience of B&S releases is nearly as important as the music, well, at least all bound up with it in a lovely, multi-sensual (is that a word?) way. I think I've got about a dozen new list crushes. Oh dear.

Sinister: anything to do?
by Wyplosz,C 17 Nov '98

17 Nov '98

Hi, I am studying in London since September. My main activities in London have been concentrated on walking and walking and walking around town to be able to know at least a modicum of this king size city. But now I know where are Okford Street and Camden town, I am looking for things to do (espcially concerts). I have only been to one concert since I am here (The Lucksmiths at the Poetry Cafe, it was more than excellent, by the way), but am looking for other ones, and other places to go. Could Londoner listee help me on that one? Thanks Clem P.S. Yes I know about The Garage even if I haven't been there yet. P.P.S wouldn't a "London indie-gigs update" be usefull? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Monday poem - coming over all pre-emptive
by Mark Casarotto 17 Nov '98

17 Nov '98

Hi my lovers (cheers to Lesley for the chance to increase the notches on my bedpost by 80,000%), I have been trying to figure out what fine verse to send you all, and then I read Marco's posting. Sorry sorry sorry for being patronising, but what a beautiful way of manipulating the English language. "i am 24 and i only now i have discover the GUINNES. I love this black beer , the froth of it is like a cream. So now i have another vice , but a beautiful vice , in addition to cigarettes, wine and black candle. Thank you to the man that have made this mellow-beer." As this has already been posted, it obviously can't count, but I think you'll all agree it more than merited being repeated. Anyway...I think it may be time to try and repeat the success (well, it was, despite the overwhelming presence of Y chromosomes) of Rory's indoor picnic. The thing is, we need a venue...so this is a plea to anyone in the London area who could tolerate having 20 or 30 really rather polite and considerate listees drinking in your living room and butchering "Le Pastie..." after a bottle or three of Bulgarian red, and cake. We're all lovely, we'd help clear up, and out music taste issecond to none. And you'd be bound to get lots of list crushes out of it...I'm more than happy to do any arranging that may have to be done, putting it up on David's site an' all. Also, if any listees are coming into town any time soon and feel that they should have a party thrown especially in their honour, well, this is the ideal opportunity. Mail me privately if anyone's interested! No B&S dreams lately - I did have a rather saucy one about someone familiar to some of you, but I'm most definitely not going into that one, and another where my dad, looking shaken, told me he'd banned all homosexuals from the house. What was *that* all about...This was immediately after I'd woken up with a strat (a start actually, but this makes me sound like a rock mutha, so it stays), sat straight up and cried "Get up everyone! A plane's about to land on the roof, we have to get out now!!!", and then feeling really conned that it was just a figment of my imagination. I've just checked out Lesley's lovely photeys, and I can see quite why Miller Minor is quite so smitten - that tiger cap really does do it for ms Campbell, n'est-ce pas? Well, I've managed to say nothing again, but I just want to say "yo" to the lovely Lorraine, whose eloquent defense of Slowdive made me feel ashamed for my abandoning of my Chapterhouse and Revolver-ridden past. I do still like My Bloody Valentine <small voice>, honest, Lorraine... Peter Miller is much funnier than me, Markx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
