Sinister: spell h-o-n-e-y
by Mphintz＠aol.com 14 Nov '98

Mick McMick, if that is his real name, wrote about Hunny vs Honey... "Hunny" would be the Irvine Welsh or Alan Warner modern Scotland type. "Honey" is the EM Forster green pasture England type. Mick, I can only assume you were misspelling on purpose--if not, I am afraid we will have to take drastic measures. (You wouldn't suffer--it would be quick and painless). For the sake of cardie, scarf-wearers the world over, let's keep it as "Honey". I would never put hunny in my tea, but I would gladly put in honey. The world has enough misspellings already. It isn't any surprise that Sarah/Fluffy had eight crush votes--the other day in #sinister she was offering people bong hits. I don't think it would have made anyone feel anything; it was all 1's and 0's. At least I had one crush; too bad my name was spelt incorrectly (see above). Did anyone else expect Stuart David to be more, erm, volatile at the shows? I thought he would walk around in a puffy shirt with a pirate sword, muttering "pish" at every step. Instead he stood at the back of the stage. He wore the same tshirt at the DC and one of the NYC shows. Perhaps he had two...

Sinister: Me, me, me
by Sarah Wheeler 14 Nov '98

14 Nov '98

Hey people It's not a bus story, rather it happened on a train, and should the person I sat next to be on the list, I'd be more than grateful that I've been given a chance to explain all to you (it's unlikely, and given that I can't remember the first thing about whoever it was, there's very little chance of me ever being able to explain). First things first....I'm diabetic, or as my dad says, I'm a person with diabetes....(awwww dads, they rule). Oh yeh, and if anyone is a fan of Wildbrain on radio 4, my dad's a contestant, and gets to say "arse" on radio!!! But that's by the by. Yep, this fine day I went to get a milkshake from Burger King at Queen Street St (Glasgow), but the bastard machine was on the blink as per usual. This was to be my downfall. Anyway, I got on the train destined for Polmont, a station half an hour from Glasgow and about 20 minutes from Edinburgh...... I remember very little about the ride. I came to in a little Edinburgh office sitting in a wheelchair, surrounded by police, the contents of my bags spilled out over the desk, and I cried!! Quite a lot!! In dashed the ambulance men, gave me a shot of glucagon, and dashed back out (probably on their way to a proper emergency)......turns out that due to to much insulin, and not enough sugar (because Burger King couldn't get me a milkshake!!!), I'd gone "weird" on the train!!!! AAAAH, and I do feel for the poor person sitting next to me, 'cos I bet she thought I was a junkie and I bet there was a whole lotta tutting, and aaaargh, I feel bad. But I suppose it's yet another story I can add to my list of hypoglycaemic episodes!!! If anyone ever sees someone wearing a B+S cartoon t-shirt, or Stow T-shirt going crazy in Glasgow, it's me. Please stop and say hello. Even suggest I have some sugar. And if Stuart M reads this, yes, you may write a little ditty about me, I satisfy every criteria......... 1) I take medicinal drugs 2) I am (well, was) a student 3) I am filling my fat face with every different kind of cake 4) I am beautiful (c'mon listees, (sympathy) crush-votes for me) 5) I am slightly mental why is it I only write when I've had a skinful.....I am sorry.

Sinister: The wilted video tape tree?
by Mick McMick 14 Nov '98

14 Nov '98

Hello, Well, I feel the need to explain myself on this one. Firstly, I had no idea that music videos were copyrighted. I guess it makes sense that they were, but it surprises me that it's illegal to distribute them, because in general, they are rarely sold by the label or band. I can actually recall someone from a reasonably-sized band who MADE me a tape of all their videos. In the end, I just wanted to see some of B&S' videos, I wasn't trying to make some money out of the ordeal. I thought instead of just pleading someone on the list for a compilation of B&S' videos on NTSC, I'd try to help everyone in the US out. It's still sort of difficult for me to understand why the videos being distributed would be a problem, unless Jeepster is considering a videos compilation in NTSC as well as Pal. I'd certainly purchase such a product, rather than going the route of dubbing, should one come into existance. /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - bp224995(a)oak.cats.ohiou.edu - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - (same e-mail for now) | | Sandcastle Homepage - | | http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/4972/ | | "I am always wishing to make people | | in the world happy with my smiles." | | - Mr. Friendly +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Hi Heather Glam Rock Girl
by OLDSCHREC＠aol.com 14 Nov '98

14 Nov '98

<<Hello to the guy that works there. I forgot your name. This is Heather (glam rock DJ at WHPK, remember?). Thanks for getting me into Belle and Sebastian! They are really great. I'm living in California now and we're moving to Michigan in January. BTW - I think they used Cockney Rebel in Velvet Goldmine. Have you seen it yet? I think it's really great! Ciao! http://student-www.uchicago.edu/users/asbuch/index.htm#hometop Heather Marie Propes asbuch(a)midway.uchicago.edu >> Yes, it's Pete from down on the south side of Chicago. I haven't seen the VG movie yet but am planning to. Good to see the movie is based loosely on Marc Bolan (godfather of glam, goth & punk). T.Rex on the sdtrk. was a boost too. Even Marc is alongside B&S on the Acid House sdtrk. Maybe he'll finally get his due and rediscovery of popularity stateside now that glam is trendy? Glad to see you liked the B&S recommendation. I've haven't heard of anyone that really hated their music after hearing them. How's Cali? Off to work now. Ciao.

Re: Sinister: I know my way down the side streets now/videos...
by Reid Dossinger 14 Nov '98

Mick puts me in my place > Well, Sinister is red and LLPJ is purple, of course! My, GOD he's right! That's what I get for writing shit like that at work, where I don't (usually) keep the Belle and Sebastian catalog at hand. Well, good. That means B&S snobbery is now in full effect. Would someone who's lucky enough to have the Tigermilk LP call the album cover "gray" or what? > Come to think of it, Stuart M's songs (for > Stevie, Isobel & Stuart D's songs don't seem to be about people's > occupations as much) seem focused on daydreamers, students, > photographers, bussinesspeople, artists, members of Arab Strap, Line > Painters(?), long- and Middle-Distance Runners, assorted Stars of Track > and Field, authors, the sick, the blind, the users of medicinal drugs, > and of course, children. My good friend Laurie (my co-star in "Embarrassment on the Streets of Athens") is a living, breathing Stuart Murdoch lyric. By night, she loves the night life, she loves to boogie, big pockets for the pharmaceuticals, etc., but by day, she's an elderly care-giver at a home for alzheimer's patients. Plus, a billion and one tragic romances and even more interesting tragic flings. If Stuart's subject well ever starts drying up, I've got her number. And this whole line painting thing is a total mystery... That's all, I swear... ~Reid +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Public transport
by Martin Horsfield 14 Nov '98

14 Nov '98

Anyone interested in one last bus story involving lighting farts? Thought not, but I'll tell you anyway. A friend of mine (and this was always going to 'a friend' wasn't it?) was the talk of the sixth form one morning because after the school bus has deposited its passengers, he was left on it - and seemingly driven off somewhere by the driver. When he eventually came in that afternoon, he told us that he'd been taken to the bus company's head office to receive a bollocking for appearing to start a small fire on the back seat. In the face of an intensive grilling ("Why did you do it, boy? CONFESS! CONFESS!") he eventually told the bus people that he'd been trying to light a fart. He giggled, they giggled. Then they fell about laughing and said "...oh if you'd only said so" and gave him a Ribble buses calendar for his troubles! Just something to bear in mind, if you ever find yourself on an arson charge.

Sinister: bus story.
by J. MURTAGH 14 Nov '98

14 Nov '98

I've taken loads of buses in my time, it's how I get to school, and I don't have any funny stories. Although when I was about 12 on bus 32 on Kilburn High Road, a drunken man went under the wheel, and me and my sister were kept at the back so as not to see the beautiful pictures. Ilove Kilburn for that, always something goin' on. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: video tape tree and mp3's
by David Kitchen 14 Nov '98

14 Nov '98

after a flurry of messages regarding a few people willing to distribute bootlegs of the promo video's and mp3 files of unreleased material we feel we have been (yet again) forced to state jeepster's policy on this matter. it is illegal according to home recording act and the copyright laws to reproduce in any known media material for which you neither have permission or own the original of. now, we have repeatedly stated that we will ignore audio cassette copies, as being realistic tape copies do happen and would be too hard to enforce. but, we will not ignore CDR, DAT, minidisc, MP3, Real Audio, Real Video, Wav, Video cassette, Beta Video or any other known media digital or otherwise which is used to illegally distribute any material which is covered under international copyright law by jeepster recordings ltd. the action we take regarding such action will always be swift, our lawyers have already taken action against a couple of parties involved in the distribution of material of belle and sebastian, and right now we're taking action against 3 websites/ISP's and 1 record shop. we will not hesitate to use legal action on the internet to enforce copyright. you should be especially wary of using company resources or educational resources (e-mail provided by your employer/university, etc) to advertise your intention to distribute recordings for which the above applies. aside from the fact that many employers and educational facilities view the mis-use of their resources as gross misconduct, you may also like to know that as the ISP's/providers of the service can be held accountable for the use/mis-use of their service under law in most western countries (providing the service provider is aware of the situation, which we woudl make them aware of - the result of this is you may find that your service provider may monitor your use of their service), obviously you could find yourself in a stickier mess than you can envision. now, again, we will state that audio cassette's, fine, we will tolerate these. but anything else and we have to take action. i don't want to take action, i never do, and as much as i remain an obsessive fan, one of my roles at jeepster is to prevent bootlegging via the internet. and when it comes down to it, i will do my job. so again a plea, simply do not give me or jeepster reason to take action, please! here's hoping that this doesn't fall on deaf ears, as i really don't want to be a permanent party pooper round these parts. cheers david kitchen +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: No 1. in heaven.
by babyblu＠gold.globalcafe.co.uk 14 Nov '98

14 Nov '98

...I'll be > interested to actually hear all of the EP version of Modern Rock song, > since the lyric sheet on the website says, "I'm only lucid when I'm > writing songs" rather than "I'm only lucid when I'm riding buses". If > he sings it that way, I know someone who will be very, very > disappointed. Oh. My. God. I heard the new EP last night thanks to lovely David and Katrina (Happy Birthday!) and it is just the most amazing, warm,gorgeous collection of songs I've come across in years! Anyone slightly dissapointed by Twattybus will be thrilled and relieved and fall in love all over again. The version of Modern Rock Song is just lush, completely realising the songs potential and the second track (forgotten the name, sorry) is possibly the most Nick Drake yet, very similar to Northern Skies, a *huge* compliment BTW, with a soupcon of 'tangled up in blue' era Dylan thrown in for good measure. Lovely, lovely, lovely. *sigh* I don't remember if the lyrics have been fiddled about with though as I was too busy curling up into a little ball of bliss and rolling around on the carpet. Funkyseb got a letter complaining about the abolition of Routemaster buses printed in the Evening standard. Just *how* B&S is that?
