Sinister: it's not like i was doing anything
by mkl206＠is8.nyu.edu 05 Nov '98

05 Nov '98

i meant to write a list of the fun facts i learned before, during and after the b&s shows: 1) goon's real name is... goon. i've seen his id and it's true. 2) naughty things go on in the men's bathroom at reststops late at night, and they must be popular cause it was about 4am and there were nearly thirty empty cars in the lot!!! 3) the members of belle and sebastian are truly the biggest bunch of sweeties. 4) stuart has some truly marvelous pants. aside from the blinding silver ones, he has a shiny plaid pair that just scream scot stud. 5) chris geddes has almost the exact same pair of shoes as i do, only his are vintage and mine are from spain 6) i believe that at least 10% of the two concerts was made up of listees, and quite possibly more were there. and we're all seperated by two degrees (lorraine, i just spoke to john and he mentioned that you were in his new band, the world is joined by the sinister list). anybody in the nyc area who wants to be in my films, tell me! i'm actually filming today but i should have enough extras and everything, if all the people i spoke to yesterday show up. so time to go and do that xox megan ps - actually, this post is pretty dull. i don't think there's any smut unless you count the rude thoughts i have concerning the silver pants of luv. mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu visit the magnetic fields web page at: http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: New Yoik - Highs & Lows
by Niceaction＠aol.com 05 Nov '98

05 Nov '98

Evenin folks :o) well, i got back from New York this mornin and can honestly say it was the most exciting holiday anyone can have. B&S were soooo good, the first night especially. I was continually warned that all NYorkers are a horrible unfriendly bunch before i went, but i have to say that almost all the people i met were incredibly nice and welcoming, that is apart from the really horrible mean person who stole my passport and flight ticket from my hotel room, grrrrrr. I moaned about it, but it was actually really exciting, knowing that for a day or two i had no proof of who i was or what i was doing in the US. Virgin Atlantic didnt help either, damn businessmen. They made me buy a new one way ticket from NY to England which cost about £100 more than my return ticket !! I also had all my insurance details stolen so god knows how im going to get back my money. :o( Take it easy people Jamie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Henry Thomas

> HEY! Ease up on the Henry bashing will ya! I agree! I knew Henry had it going on when I read about one of the first films he was working on as a grownup. The article said he was tormenting his co-stars in his trailer with Tom Waits' Bone Machine. I have tortured many a friend with that album: since my sanity comes first, and listening to Tom is just one of the few ways I have at keeping it.

Sinister: phwoar
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 05 Nov '98

05 Nov '98

hey, nice post, reid, and (thanks for the kind word) I'll be the first to admit that whilst i was wondering at B&S's common humanity and modesty, i was gushing like crazy when they weren't looking, and god knows no one else could subject me to the beauty of "Photo Jenny" and co. Indeed, i wasn't able to get past the teenage gawking and sighing to even say hello to isobel, who while must certainly be a nice and 'normal' girl, is also the most beautiful thing i had ever laid eyes on......c'est la vie. and i apologize as i just saw that the last post i sent in came out in some kind of gobbledygook that must have been highly irritating, and i dont' know what i did wrong but i'll see if i can change that. Misheard lyric: in "La Pastie" i took "at the church bazaar" as "I'll be judged bizarre" which fits nicely as well... I'm still looking for some partners in cryme to start the Crushed by Isobel Coalition, unless someone can direct me to a worthy extant version of that type of group.... *PHWOAR*!!! the way she holds her cello......(i'm so bad!) and JESS if you're listening, say something. it would make me feel less lonesome.! the schlumpy one, lesley Jo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Massive Attack
by John Stuart 05 Nov '98

05 Nov '98

Again, no B&S Content, sorry. Someone just told me that Massive Attack have split up. Could anyone on the list tell me if this is true? I'm supposed to be seeing them in Glasgow next month.

Sinister: i hate the pressure of coming up with subjects!
by Ginger Nance 05 Nov '98

05 Nov '98

My neuroses aside, and wow, I think this is my second post ever, I would like to disagree with the statement "it's never good to be in North Carolina." I have to defend my home state. Sure, there are lots of bad things about it, but there are good things. Esp. where music is concerned. I love living in Chapel Hill--I can go see wonderful bands play almost every night! Anyway. I was the DC show. I wanted to meet Sinister people, but I got incredible lost. Driving there was quite stressful. I almost didn't make it to the show--I was about to crawl out of the car, curl up on the sidewalk, and rock back and forth and mumble. Not really, but I was quite frustrated. My boyfriend and I were also unable to find Polly's. I swear we walked all over U Street, but didn't see a Polly's. Also stressful. Then we go to the club--my tickets were supposed to be on willcall b/c I didn't get them in the mail on time. They didn't have them. Even more stress! Guv'ner started to play. I really thought I was going to lose it. Fortunately, B&S rescued me and lifted my spirits. They were simply beautiful--I'm so glad I went to see them. I can't wait for the new EP. Someone may have asked already, but is it being released in the US on the UK date, too?

Sinister: yikes
by donovan＠matador.recs.com 05 Nov '98

wow...go away for a couple days and the list goes nuts: 1) Placebo, Gomez and Whale are playing NYC tonite, at the Hudson Theater, 143 W 44th street 2) I can confirm that Evan Dando, Mark Ibold and various other rock types were in the house at the Nov 2 show, as were the aforementioned Chris Lombardi (not to mention the other 30 of us Matador types...2 of which were the target of the vicous ice-throwing incident.) 3) As has been discussed here many times, there are *tentative* plans to release Tigermilk on Jeepster in the UK and Matador in North America in early 99....I'm not really sure what "early" means. If anyone out there who has tape copies of any of the various radio sessions or the live shows, feel free to send em my way....might be something nice in it for ya...and we won't prosecute. -donovan +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: gushing only slightly, no more harshness
by gram LeBron 05 Nov '98

05 Nov '98

>But none of us are on this list because the members of Belle and >Sebatian are really really nice. And I'm going to assume that >neither Matador or Jeepster signed B&S because, hey, they're just >like you and me. I agree. we're on this list because B&S means a lot to us. They are my favorite band around right now. believe me, when we were just chillin' I was freaking out, but I tried to be cool and just hang out until things became more comfortable or something. and we did talk about music some, and I definitely told them how much I liked their band and asked a few questions about details. I talked to Richard about drums and some history stuff. but I did all that after we'd been talking for a while. I was lucky to be in that situation since I'm sure most of the Athens audience would've liked to chat with them. so what do you do if you've only got a precious few moments to convey how strongly this band has affected you? I'm not sure I know the answer. I guess it's whatever you feel. >The thing is, they're NOT just like you and me. At least, they're >not like me, and if they're anything like you, I'd love to hear your >stuff sometime. 'Cause these are people who have it in them to >create perfect music. That's not normal. Not for me, anyway. aye. they aren't normal in that way. I think you get better at talking with bands you respect with time, maybe you get better at gushing? I've had the chance to chat with most of my favorite bands and I've definitely felt like an idiot before. the first time schrasj played with BEDHEAD I was visibly shaking. but that seems ridiculous knowing them like I do now. music is a weird thing that way. I'm not in one of the most important bands of our time and I've gotten gushed on before, it's strange, but in a good awkward way. I can only imagine how they must feel. >I'm a gusher, I admit. Maybe it's a good >thing that they're in Scotland and I'm in North Carolina. nah, cuz if you were in scotland then you'd have had several chances to let them know how you feel and eventually some of the butterflies would subside. not that they'd be any less magical. we knew they were here for such a short time and we were still getting over the initial shock of seeing them in real life. that makes it even easier to embarass yourself. >Remember, this is Stuart Murdoch we're talking about, a man who once >admitted that he traveled to London with the sole purpose of finding >the guy from Felt so that he could, essentially, give him the "how >much your music means to me" speech. excellent point. makes me wish I'd moved to glasgow after graduation and started hanging out in cafes... >But if I had the chance to spend as much time with Stuart M. as you >did, I wouldn't just say, "Hey, Stuart. Seen any good TV lately?" stu and isobel weren't around as much when I was hanging out. thats proly good because I could talk Stuart's ear off given the opportunity. it just must be hard when there are SO many people wanting to do that. my god, when they started with "is it wicked not to care" and stu was waiting for his back up vocal and watching isobel... and then he started singing, I thought I would explode inside it was so beautiful. anyway... >tell him (calmly) something along the lines about how his songs came >along when Ididn't think I could be *that* moved by music anymore, >about how often I've teared up over how many of his songs, perfect. I'm sad you didn't get the chance to tell him that. guess we should fly to scotland for the next show and tell him then. some imaginary friend, gram ClubSafeParking, making Houston proud. http://www.navitus.com/csp ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
