Sinister: "Is it wicked..." video
by Jordi Trenzano Vilar 13 Nov '98

13 Nov '98

I have the "Is it wicked not to care" video taped. But is in Pal Version. So, if anybody who can copy it to the NTSC system wants it, E-Mail me privately. I will be very kind to try to make some video tapes.... but if you can offer anything in return, things will go better (The Smiths/Mozzer bootlegs or a tape with some songs of Nick Drake can be a good example.) Tomorrow I will ask to my local video club, where they can make copies for the same Pal System. I know that there are some videos which can support the european and the american system. If any french sinisterine wants it, you will have to manage yourselves in order to make a copy in the SECAM system, because if not, you will have a beautiful copy of the video.... in black and white. Lordy Jordi. Well Sam, Belle and Sebby are "in the radio, playing songs for children...." isn?t it ? "See how words as old as sin fit me like a glove" (The Smiths "The hand that rocks the cradle") "No me hace ilusion la vida social, la revolucion del materialismo, filosofar, sobre esta vida, que pesadez, aa...." (Le Mans "Mi novela autobiografica) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

i would never normally share such minutiae with hundreds of mostly-strangers, but i just feel compelled to continue this pattern of all of us l.a. listies posting about our lunches in successive order... i want you all to know that the special today at our work cafeteria was guinness-battered cod, can you beat that? i went over there specifically for that reason, and they actually had an empty four-pack of guinness propped up by the ordering line so you knew it was truly made with the stuff. it was quite good, thanks. and they had malt vinegar for the chips. xoxo felicia ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Randy Newman is here in my office for lunch doing photos for his new box set we just released, and well, the conference room is located near my wee-ickle-work station, and I really can't tell you how tired I am of hearing "Short People Got , NOBODY...." and the endless, tiresome, shorty jokes directed twords yours truly, so I ran, no wait, dashed out of here at exactally 12:30 for lunch....I too Kelly, my beautifully TALL-STRAPING friend, am lacking dosh so I ended up at.........*deep breath*....the Mall Food Court.....(perish the thought). I have been aerobasizing my bum for the last 2 months to blow it all at the Westside Pavillion food court......the delemma was weather to have the shite Chinese takeaway, Vege Soup from the ickle Deli, or the good ol' American standby, "Hot Dog On A Stick" (they now offer Vege Dogs as an alternative to the Cheese Sticks that I so adore) So I'm standing in the middle of the busy food court, hands stuffed into my trouser pockets that seem to have much more room for change these days, basking in the neon glow of the said food court....when I made the move......I dumped my fist full of change onto the counter.....the little 17 year old girl in the stripy uniform and silly hat looked at me with a bit of confusin, and so I asked......... "One Vegedog and a Cherry lemonaid.......please..." I gobbled the said dog and felt a bit full, but definatly content with the choice I had made for lunch....... *sigh* Any cures for hangovers? xo Photo Jeni xo _______________________________________________________________________________ Subject: Sinister: lunch From: "kellym(a)raygun.com" <kellym(a)raygun.com> at Internet Date: 13/11/98 1:03 pm Welp, its lunchtime, for myself at least, and due to "insufficient funds" (as bank of america puts it so nicely) I once again had to dine at Mobil. What it lacks in decor it picks up in its multitude of delicious high-calorie snacks. As I drove to the gas station, I noticed one of those ticking billboards, you know, the ones with the odometer type readout that counts up or down or whatnow. Anyway, this time it wasn't the national debt or even the days left until the year 2,000, instead it was the number of smoking related deaths this year. As I sat waiting for the light to go green I watched as it ticked away three or four more deaths. What else could I do but turn up the music, light another cigarette and look away? I do not know. OK, so I got to the Mobil and put in some gas and washed my windshield off, then I went into the FoodMart part of it and began to look for something to have for lunch. At first I saw the nacho machine and I could feel myself being drawn into its magnificense, but I decided to keep on looking. I passed up the soda machines and the frozen yogurt maker and the Icee server and finally landed into the frozen food section. Mmm... frozen foods. So I finally saw a box of Lunchables that got me all excited. And thus, I ate PIZZA Lunchables for lunch. The box came with three REAL pizza crusts, pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni, a BUTTERFINGER and a Capri Sun (i got a coke due to the fact that Capri Sun still brings up awful memories of grade school lunches). All in all it was pretty damn good, although it was mostly fat and pretty unfilling for the most part. Eh, it was free right? Oh wait... they expect me to pay the bill when it comes in... I keep forgetting to do that. I also got some more cigarettes in my effort to one day be a blinking number on some billboard off of Santa Monica Blvd. Now that the wonderful citizens of the state of California passed yet another cigarette tax (50 cents more a pack!), I am going to either have to start stockpiling these things until the tax goes into effect next year, or start making regular runs to Arizona or Mexico. OK, that's all. Just thought someone might want to know what I ate for lunch.

Capri Sun (i got a coke due >to the fact that Capri Sun still brings up awful memories of grade school >lunches). Well....at least you HAD Capri Sun in your school lunches. People in MY age bracket had a choice of milk and/or orange juice...And there WERE no vegetarian lunches, as vegetarian's were those "far out" people who ate seeds and said "like wow man..like wow" (like some creepy guy I know called Richard from Aberdeen who STILL says that) and well...*I* always got milk, but then could never open it right cause I rode the short bus (metaphorically speaking) and i'd be all up in there trying to get it open with my fork and it would open all the way and i'd have to drink my milk out of one side (cause we didn't HAVE straws in MY day) and it would go all down the front of my clothes, which were grrranimals. Cause I couldn't match. don't feel bad Kelly....we might be a generation apart but we'll always be short bussers...broke short bussers...but hey, we've got eachother... and some nice music to listen to. beth p.s. It would have been a disaster with Capri Sun as well...I recall two Decembers ago...being with someone I was trying to be so cool around..and getting a juice box of Rybena ...I wasn't thinking and blew slightly into the straw to push a wee bit of air into the box then removed my mouth...have you ever done this? don't. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Bay Area Clubs? (no B&S)
by S. M. O. 13 Nov '98

13 Nov '98

There are quite a few good clubs in San Francisco, but not the "the bay area" so to speak. On Thursday nights there is Popscene (18 +)at 330 Ritch St in South Of Market Area. They play "brit-pop", indie, Mod, New Wave, and sixties. About a month back they had a Belle & Sebastian CD Giveaway party. Starting at about 10, i think( I didnt get there till 10.30) we got to be seranaded by the entire The Boy With The Arab Strap album. What fun.... Lately, though, my friends and I have been defecting to 1984(also on Thursdays, 21+ no cover charge!) which is at the Cats Alley on Folsom Street. They play the best 80's music you could imagine. There are a few other clubs around, one I havent been to, but my friends has, is called Sixxteen(21+). Its on Sundays at the DNA Lounge I believe. Its advertised as a "rock'n roll" club. They play lots of 60's - 80's(90's maybe??) music I think. I got handed a flyer at 1984 last night for it because I guess I looked cool enough(just kidding!). I have University at 9 am on Mondays so can never really make it to this one. Another club Ive wanted to check out is Bardot-A-Go-Go which is sixties French Pop and what not.... And another club I have yet to go to is Darling which is like a more exclusive Popscene scene (its 21+) and theres less indie-Britpop and more 60's/70's.... That is the extent of my knowlegde at present....

Sinister: dedicated followers of sebastian fashion
by Tara Widmer 13 Nov '98

13 Nov '98

Heather politely inquired: <<I should probably preface this message by asking, is it ok to write non B&S messages? >> It seems Honey's got the Sinister site back up and running (YAY! let's hear it for the boy!!!) but there is a nice tidbit in the FAQ's with some handy guidelines about what's ok to write... see http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/faq.html. Seems anything that's interesting, touching, funny or depravingly smutty and related to the lives of B&S fans gets the green-light. Those, including everyone's new list crush Carmen, interested in a strictly news-only list about that odd little scottish band with the funny name might want to subscribe to Katrina's press-release do at the jeepster site at http://www.jeepster.co.uk. (I won't get in trouble for writing this will i? s'only trynna help, mom....::sulk::) Otherwise you'll end up with a lot of rubbish, not unlike what you're currently reading. Only probably more clever. <<I can't seem to find anything to coordinate with my "Study at Stow" shirt. >> Any chance of a full range of colors coming out? or at least white. I've got brown skin and the it doesn't even match *me*. Brown and baby blue, can you say 'bluergh'? In fashion crimes, that's a life sentence. So each time I wear it at the risk of Mr Blackwell throwing my poorly-coordinated ass in prison. <<However, with all this talk of silver trousers, I suspect that there's more than a number of glamourpusses among you.>> I reckon the sinisterineseses are a diverse lot, with b-boys and Cargo-pant kids, even pedal-pusher wearers in the ranks!!! but "glam", it doesn't seem the accepted stereotype for us... i imagine anyone showing up to a B&S gig with a Prada handbag gets beaten to a bloody pulp with it shortly thereafter..hehe.. after all, there are people going hungry far away and such... <adjusting feather boa> I've said it before dammit, surely you all have impeccable fashion sense!! (except you, in the back.. luv, lycra isn't meant for everybody...) Since the second time was a charm for Weejay, I'm asking again - does anyone know if Nick Drake had a daughter?? ta, tina yothers P.S. Heather in Berkeley - New Wave City is once a month, and usually Saturdays. "1984" is the thursday night club... e-mail me privately for more info.:-) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

hello sinistereenies! i have a non b&s question that i was hoping some people could help me out with... the deal is that i'd like to study abroad in england next year but my options are limited. i wanted to know what anyone thought of the university of kent at canterbury? also, what universities are there in london that are fun, social, open-minded etc? i'd really like to be in london but i've never lived in a city, so... i thought if any of you uk listees could give me some advice, i would really really appreciate it and love you forever! thank you so very much, pls reply privately so as not to clog up our lovely list. have lovely weekends, kids, and thank you again if you've read this far! :) jennifer jesandy(a)indiana.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...if you put down your pen, leave the worries behind, then the moment will come, and the memory will shine... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: links and photo's
by Reid Dossinger 13 Nov '98

13 Nov '98

David was so excited about the links page that he didn't mention (at least not that I saw) that the artwork and most of the lyrics to the new EP are also up on the webpage. I love the cover...it's now "the orange one". I think we should be all-out B&S snobs and just start referring to the releases by their predominant color scheme. Or maybe not...we'd get confused between Sinister and LLPJ and what the hell color is Tigermilk?! Now, we all know that Stuart tends to be a little liberal in what words he sings as opposed to what the lyric sheet says, but...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. Plus, this will probably put a stop to the bus stories. Although I really loved Sam's story about singing Is It Wicked Not to Care to a strange baby. Because a post has got to stop somewhere, Reid +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
