Sinister: bus stories, etc.
by Larissa Slurpee 14 Nov '98

14 Nov '98

Wooo, my second ever post. I'm dreadfully behind in my digests, so these topics are probably long gone, but I wanted to add a bit too. I ride the bus to and from school every day, and it's 40 minutes both ways. B&S are definately perfect bus music! They just fit the scene perfectly. Last year, my friend Sarah saw a boy on the bus who was just so drop-dead gorgeous she couldn't stop talking about him. Then a few days later, I saw a boy in the libraray and couldn't wait to tell her. Turns out it was the same boy. Oh gawd. He'd make anyone need a cold shower. Anyway, we dubbed him Bus Boy and saw him only once after that, at this silly teenager gig thingy. Sarah and I took turns standing and sitting next to him so we could smell him. Also, on Saturday, I was in Vancouver with my friend Nick, and we went to see the movie "Happiness" (Everyone go see it!), and he got LLPJ. If he was on the list, he'd be my crush. Well, he is anyway. It's pretty great. He's wonderful, and he loves B&S more than I do, I'm sure. ALSO, I went to that same record store on Wednesday and I saw a girl behind the counter wearing a Study at Stow with B&S shirt! I was flabberghasted and only managed to point at it and mention it to my friend. But she was too cool anyway.

okay kids! am i the only one in la who didn't post what they ate for lunch and hasn't been to see the beachwood sparks? i have heard of them, isn't that enough! i am amazed that no one has commented upon my article that i posted. was it that bad? or were you all stunned into submission by its wonder? if you have something humiliating to say, then by all means, please e-mail me directly and not post it here! :) and no one wants to know who my secret crush is? when i am willing to admit it in public and not be cowardly? maybe by some odd mishap, my posts aren't making it on the list! :) well enough of my witty humour. what i want to know is, the website address where the "is it wicked" video is so i can see it. and if anyone is doing a video tree for the yanks, i want a copy! i haven't seen any of their videos! :( *sob* in need of something good to pick up the shite day she had teaching rotten 1st graders, jennifer +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Drunken Non Sequitor
by Emanuel Brown 14 Nov '98

14 Nov '98

A most beautiful piece of nonsense if i've ever read one.But I got a legitimately drunken non sequitor for ya: Costumes for the soul have a weight most angels wouldn't carry. After a long night at my favorite Brooklyn bar, trying to purvey the merits of B&S oh-so-subtle stylings to the likes of the usual clang & thunder, i realized that not only was i incredibly misplaced, but that this surge of blurry insight could be traced back to my childhood where i had often maintained a certain distance from any and every one i knew. The absolute beauty in it grew from my overwhelming need to argue a moot point to deafened ears, leaving me with little more than an aching in my heart for the place in which i once found a little understanding. A place long since passed from view as the swirling metropolis absorbs both heart & mind. ???? emanuel Free, fast e-mail accessible anytime, anywhere http://www.imaginemail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Lord Antony mp3
by jimmy bryant 14 Nov '98

14 Nov '98

I have never made an mp3 before, but since so many of you wanted to hear this song I learned how to make one. It turned out ok, I think. I don't have a web site to put it on, and it's taking up too much space on my hard disk so I really can't keep it. So I have decided to send it to the first 10 fellows within our own perverse little corner of cyberville who send me an email with "Lord Antony" in the subject line. What you do with it is up to you, but you have to promise to buy this song, once it does become available to us masses. jimmy thin_king melted tolberone under your dress And for your convenience, here, once again, are the approximate lyrics: (with buckets of thanks, kisses, and crushes to/on Roberta) Lord Ant(h)ony Anthony, bullied at school get your own back now you are cool or are you still drunk enough though you're a tough it's all gone wrong again you got to hold hands) But the teachers got no control Boys aren't lying You will stay quiet Or you will die Tony at the back of the gym Smoke another one, the chances are slim, 'Cause here they come again They got you on the prowl You're tasting blood again At least it's your own When will you realize it doesn't pay To be smarter than teachers, smarter than most boys, Shut your mouth, start kicking the football, Bang on the teeth you were out for a week You may as well take it in the guts, it could get worse just take it in the guts, it could get worse just take it in the guts, it could get worse just take it in the guts, it kind of hurts there (to me) You'll soon be old enough to leave the man Without a notion of a care You'll leave two fingers in the air to meager living Tony, you bit of a mess melted tolberone under your dress But if the kids could see you they would pass you right by The mascara running over your eye Why don't you realize it doesn't pay To be smarter than teachers, smarter than most boys, Shut your mouth, start kicking the football, Bang on the teeth you were out for a week. They call you lord Antony but hey it could be worse Lord Antony but hey it could be worse Lord Antony but hey it could be worse Lord Antony but hey it kind of suits you anyway You'll soon be old enough to leave the man Without a notion of a care You'll leave two fingers in the air to meager living +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: B&S on the TV
by TFertig3＠aol.com 14 Nov '98

Hello everybody, Those were some very nice pictures curtesy of Lesley J. Miller! And I also enjoyed Genevieve's Judy post very very much.. And now, with my first ever post of importance, I bring you this lovely bit of news, if you don't already know it too: This Sunday (11/15) a B&S video will be aired on 120 Minutes at around 1 a.m. I don't know what video it will be, I only just read it on the Matador news. So there, did I make your day?? Will I get a crush vote now? Oooh I'm excited.. I've only seen their videos on 4x5 cm screens on the real video! Time to go.

Sinister: PLEASE READ: a list mummy speaks
by Honey 13 Nov '98

13 Nov '98

Well chums, let's all sit down and have a tea-break. Someone go and get the chocolate fingers and let's settle down and natter. Veteran tea-drinkers and war heroes of this list will have done this a few too many times, so I apologise in advance, but please read this message to help this list survive, and please don't think I'm boring as hell, I can be damned smutty too for a list mummy (Mick McMick: "female parental-type ones, not the ones wrapped in bandages"). What I want to natter about for just a bit is this: Carmen: Why is it that every time I check my mail, I have 175 emails ... and usually none of them have anything to do with Belle and Sebastian Heather: I should probably preface this message by asking, is it ok to write non B&S messages? Tara: Seems anything that's interesting, touching, funny or depravingly smutty and related to the lives of B&S fans gets the green-light. See the thing is, for anyone who's been on other mailing lists, they'll know that this balance is very hard to make. Most music mailing lists die quickly and in squalid circumstances by becoming either (a) too boring and talking about B sides on purple vinyl all the time, (b) being spread too thin, where everyone posts indiscriminately about the first thing they think of without pausing for thought about who's reading, or (c) everyone discusses what *should* be on the list and has a big pie fight; eventually someone sticks a brick in one of the pies and hurts someone else and they all end up sulking and moaning down the phone for hours to their mums. If you've seen any of this on a mailing list before, and you hated it, then you're *doubly* responsible to help here. Well, (c)'s not going to happen here because I'm not going to let it, as you all know :) And you can help me with that by please not prolonging discussions about what can and can't be on the list - as Tara says it's all been set out for ages in the FAQ on the WWW page, and you all got a copy when you joined so there will be a test at 3 o'clock next Tuesday. I take it dead seriously - you've all been asked to read this so if you haven't stop coughing and go and do it. These are The Ten Commandments and are not optional. Let me write it by your nipple in lipstick: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/faq.html My job's to run the list and do a bit of prodding, so you'll have to forgive me for that and not take offence, and please not feel victimised. It's worked for a year, so I know what I'm doing now, and most people seem to like it; if you disagree come and see me. Your job is to just enjoy the list, and help it survive. And you do THAT by helping the balance between (a) and (b) above. Why are most music lists boring or irritating? Because this balance is hard to strike? Why is this one often not? Because most of you work really hard on the whole to pause before you post and think about whether what you're saying is of interest to the majority of 800 people listening. I can't help feeling just now that some are straying into spouting a little too much without thinking first (and this ISN'T aimed at anyone in particular so don't you DARE take offence!). Some threads are just getting too far from the source and thinned out. Quality and not quantity, otherwise no-one can keep up and everyone starts posting to a few friends. Then everyone leaves and I'm left with the washing up to do on my own. So this is a call to arms (again; it's worked before) to everyone to do their bit please now: this list is run on limited, borrowed resources, and on borrowings of my time; it's a Belle and Sebastian list, which means it's about people who like Belle and Sebastian, but we still have a focus. It's neither a strict news list for the band, nor a general music list, there are plenty of others that do that well and I can't afford the resources to support that, indeed you can start your own if you want something broader. So of course you can talk about other music, and indeed, sexually explicit bus rides, but please be public spirited to see when this has gone far enough. Anything else (honestly) lowers the chance of this list's survival. It's a balance and everyone (definitely me) will get it wrong at times, but trying's what counts. Do your bit. Don't post multiple posts with little content. Bundle up your thoughts for the day into one mail. I've said it before, in almost all circumstances, if anyone's posting more than two mails a day, you're probably getting something wrong unless your house is on fire, and everyone can see you are. Think before you post. Remember you'll be forgiven some funny personal stuff if you send it with a long general post which you put some time into too. Don't send jokes to the list or stuff with no personal content. Don't slag people off for fun, even if it's "ironic", because it isn't and I don't like it. Don't send knee-jerk responses, and if you ever find yourself thinking: "hey I'm groovy look at meeeeee!" when you hit send, go and ponder your sins and how obvious it is when someone else does it :) You can all sit back now and dunk your biscuits. And whichever people voted for me as a minor list crush, you can have bourbon creams but of course you have to ask me first :) I suspect mails like this won't earn me any more votes, unless someone's got a thing for schoolteachers. Yes the WWW is back - phew. Sorry for the break, I had to get me spanners out. But it means of course none of you have any excuse to be lazy anymore :) Do a little legwork on the WWW before you ask a question - there's masses of information about the band, releases, etc etc on the WWW pages linked from the Sinister page. A question pushed out to 800 people before you look is likely to excite a few muted grrrs. Francis surprisingly said: "I have been one of the many naughty people "booted" off the sinister list" - no you haven't mate! Aww I'm not mean honestly! It's a threat of course that I'll use if I have to, but it doesn't mean I ever quite have, and I'll only do it if the list's future's threatened. There have been lots of double posts to the list recently, can someone tell me why? I'm pretty sure it's not a problem this end... No mitten offers yet, I'm going to have to resort to offering sexual favours to knitting circles. philippe's little pink goldfish, honey xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: when was the last time you said wattle and daub?
by Alix Campbell 13 Nov '98

13 Nov '98

here's my tale of buses: it was on the school coach, having arrived at the gates one morning, we expected to be allowed off the bus and into school. As you would. but the driver (trevor, norman, dave) wouldn't let us off, and instead disappeared up the school drive, leaving us in the bus. about 20 minutes later he returned, with the deputy head - mr Down, who looks like Robin Cook. he proceeded to check all the seats, until he found one with a gash in it, from a knife(i ask you,kids these days), then to everyone's incredulity mr Robin Cook Down wanted us to remember if we'd been sat in the same seats the day before. naturally no one had the first idea, and we were let off the bus, only to have to explain why we were late, and not be believed. later one of my friends was grassed up by a year 8 scrutter(as we like to call them) and called into mr down's office, and wrongfully accused of wanton vandalism. shameful. the bus drivers' were crap anyway. when they weren't careering along knocking down traffic cones on narrow countrylanes, they were chucking 15year old boys off the bus for being rude. in the middle of nowhere. they were hazardous times, those. alix.c "So don't approach me if you've no more to say than what you've been doing, or how much you paid for the beer in your hand.

Whereas I had a delightful lunch of pad thai. Funny how good food tastes when you're milking your corporate card...but maybe that's revealing a little too much. I will say that although my life has been stressful beyond belief of late, I've been able to look back on my trip to NY and the two unbelievable Belle and Sebastian shows I witnessed there and smile from ear to ear.
