Sinister: Stop Laughing at Your Fellow Man
by PJMiller 22 Dec '98

22 Dec '98

Just to put things in perspective, most of the bad vibes floating around on the list are recycled bad vibes, and nothing to worry about. Jeepster bashing comes around every three months or so, and the reaction is usually the same, give or take the degree of offence taken. As for indies and majors, there are some groups that manage to go from indie to major without turning shit, in fact there are even some groups who are on indies and majors at the same time, such as Belle and Sebastian. French listees, are B&S shit in France? Probably not. Radiohead bashing is also a favourite sport on the list, and Bis bashing. Still, it's nice to see Duke back on top form. Are you going to put that one in the back of your next book? If so, I should delete that "kiss the skies" bit, or everyone'll rumble your Hendrix fixation. I actually tried to kiss the sky this afternoon, but I think I just looked daft. Reid has already made this point, but duty calls: "What is the point," thought Alice "of a Belle and Sebastian mailing list without obsessed loony weirdo Belle and Sebastian freaks?" I mean, you wouldn't write in to a Star Trek mailing list to say "hey guys, he's just a normal Vulcan" would you? Lesley J's shiny apple story is a true classic, and I am proud to be associated with her. Long may her Wee World of Worship act as a beacon to the mentally unhinged throughout the world. Count me in! Speaking of gatherings of loonies, we haven't heard anything from the Blue Soda Christams Bash. I can only assume that it was so good everyone exploded at the end. Frank O'Hara wrote: Having a Coke with You is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irun, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne Nothing, not even the rain, is more fun than going to Irun, especially with the Christmas lights switched on. Frank should've come here too. I've had enough now, I'm going to listen to my new gospel album. I dig gospel.

Sinister: Ease Your Feet into the Sheep
by Mick McMick 22 Dec '98

22 Dec '98

Hello There, Haven't posted in a few days(daze?) and there's some things I feel I ought to respond to, so here goes... Matt Hintz spoketh: > <<re: Mickey Mouse... I mean, Mick McMick and others disappointed in > the new ep>> Actually, what I said was a bit confusing, and I think you've mistaken what I said for something else. I said if it weren't for a couple of songs on the EP I would be afraid B&S were getting into a rut. That's not to say that I don't like the EP, just to say that Modern Rock Schlong and I Know Where the Summer Goes could have been on TWATTYBUS and I wouldn't think about it twice. Not to say I'm not glad they released some outtakes (I still wish they'd release Rhoda) but that is to say I'm glad they have some songs which go in different directions and stand on their own to go along with these songs. The 30% Objective Evan Gregg spake: > if you think today's music is lacking then you aren't looking hard > enough and/or inthe right places In some ways I might agree with this statement in a roundabout way. However, it must be considered that different people like different things. Yes, there is *probably* something new that someone would like, but not necessarily. > try anything having to do with Elephant 6 (a band collective from > Athens GA with a west office in CA) tis a good place to start because > they all play with each othr and with other kick ass people like Thom > Monahan from Lily's Please, there is no need to discuss the sexual habits of the Elephant 6 collective and the Lilys. > tons of amazing music i just get a little tired of the all music today > sucks line (not meant as a personal attack) when the people just arent > looking hard enough I don't think anyone ever attacked music today, I think that some people were saying they couldn't find anything they liked in the current crop of bands. That is not an attack on today's music, it's a statement of that 70% thing we call opinion. I think being a serious music obsessive is in part keeping in touch with today while you remain firmly rooted in the past. A mix of the two can yield results of a most beautiful nature, as can be seen in B&S themselves. I was pleased to have just received an e-mail from Miss Magnetic Megan, who is doing fine and has just gotten e-mail back en la Russe. I also must my deep enjoyment of the Ballroom's reissue on Rev-Ola...

Sinister: TOTTYBUM Review
by David Moore 22 Dec '98

22 Dec '98

Hi All, Alex Tobin has posted a link to a review a couple of times, but as the article is in German it has probably been of limited interest to most. Translation follows - apologies for lack of smoothness, as I stopped studying the language at the end of my last A Level paper .............. in June 1973! belle and sebastian the boy with the arab strap jeepester/delabel/matador perhaps there are only two records which remind you that lyrics can be more than simply just lyrics. nick drake's five leaves left is one. the other is the boy with the arab strap. that's it. autumn leaves. soap in the plughole. hair that gets in your mouth when you kiss. that's just it. however the musicians hide away from you. there are no interviews, (almost) no press photos, above all there are no bits of information about belle and sebastian. only stories. its established that they called themselves after a french seventies children's TV programme and that the singer with the soft falsetto, stuart murdoch, studies music in glasgow. his band is so timid that there is genuine doubt as to whether they exist at all. after all only 1,000 copies of their vinyl debut album tigermilk were pressed, the rest being dubbed from tape to tape by fans. one of these cassettes made it, perhaps in a scottish hiker's luggage, to a stereo in paris. where it was heard by the french arm of virgin records, which produced the second album, if you're feeling sinister. belle and sebastian might remind you of the early housemartins, if they weren't so grim. you could compare them with the tindersticks, if they weren't so rheumatic. and now, ladies and gentlemen, the boy with the arab strap. songs so fleeting they'll probably dissolve as soon as you turn your back on them. songs so intoxicating they make tetrahydrocannabinol look like green tea. songs so complex that marcel proust himself would have taken dark pleasure in them. delivered in an enthrallingly commonplace voice that just captures the current mood exactly and makes transparent all uncertainties with disarming clarity. a voice with a wide-eyed, vulnerable, quite uncool naivete. even carefully arranged elegies like seymour stein or the roller coaster ride sound as if they had just this minute flowed from the pen of a drunken school band. perhaps that's what belle and sebastian are, a pissed up school band, that dares to let a warm froth of strings surge through the songs, to lay female spoken-word sequences over a pounding 2/4 beat and to finally send the song home on a euphoric cascade of bagpipes (dirty dream number two). and despite fully possessed note-tracks (David needs help here!) the eight musicians manage to simply echo stuart murdoch, murdoch with his acoustic guitar in his hand. in the end its impossible to suppress the wide, slightly silly grin that rears up as soon as you come into contact with something truly magnificent. with naked beauty for example. with music that isn't "soul", but which truly has a soul. with lyrics that move you to pick up that old diary again, and if you never kept one, to start writing one straight away. belle and her friend sebastian are artists who let you forget that you weren't around when nick drake was. and the boy with the arab strap is so good it makes you want to write the name of the band on your forearm. in biro. ****** (six out of six) arno frank musikexpress 09.98 David Moore Chelmsford, UK +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: cherished music
by Margot Patrick 22 Dec '98

22 Dec '98

> They also make me want to CREATE and be involved and add beauty to the > world: beauty that is AFFIRMATIVE and glorious, and utterly in vain but > so what? Radioheed just sound like they want you to sleep, or write > tenth rate poetry or be 'worthy' or something. Fuck worthy. Radioheed > ooze boredom and B&S ooze humanity. They are a lot sexier too. > of course it is all subjective but this is how radiohead make me feel as well. in fact, though i cherish b&s more, i find radiohead much more inspirational and b&s have more of the cocooning effects described above. Radiohead makes me address my adult side that battles with technology's effect on my career (i do web development and marketing) and celebrates the utter importance of art as an expression of humanity. thom yorke is the singer of our times, in my opinion: his voice captures the essence of our longing to realize the fullness of our souls and aspire to a higher way of living. for me, b&s are more self-indulgent. they soothe me and represent the person i've become after years of feeling different and self-absorbed and self-obssessed. is anyone here familiar with the enneagram? is it safe to say we are all fours? (the tragic romantic.) so b&s represent *me* absolutely (i'm 29 so i've listened to heaps to reach this point, starting with the usual cure, smiths, etc. at 13), and radiohead represent what i am a part of: western world humanity. i'm new by the way (just a few weeks; do be kind to a stranger. peace, margot

Sinister: is it wicked when you're smiling,even though you feel like crying (JOY! ANOTHER SONGQUOTEAPPLIEDTOMYLIFE!!!!are you impressed yet?)
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 22 Dec '98

22 Dec '98

i said i wouldn;t post but now i am, because i've just been crying over something beautiful that christa wrote, and i'm freezing and i have been wiping my eyes on the wine colored nightgown, and i'm feeling very puzzled about myself. so here i go, putting on the brave face again. tears of a clown blah blah, thats my life, i'm a sad cliche. i'm sorry my last post was so negative, but then again i'm not, cos i felt that way when i wrote it. i just wanted to make it clear that i'm not the dippy ninny i'm sure i appear to be to some individuals, no names cos i dont' know you, i'm just sure that you are out there. but here it is. i like to laugh and i assume that others do as well, so i felt accepted here and have met so many wonderful ones that i wouldn't dream of leaving unelss it was absolutely painful to remain. this isn't making any sense. wait a minute. i go on about stupid things sometimes. you have to understand that whenever i am crying and i feel my life is in a shambles, i watch tapes of mystery science theater over and over again, cos it's the only thing that makes it go away. i'm NOT an obsessed maniac who thinks people in a band are superhuman and who worships them like gods. it just happens that there are pivotal things in my mind right now and the music of *aforementioned* happens to coincide and aid in defining this, whatever changes i feel i am going through. My trip to DC to see them was a revelation. and not just the concert part, or because isobel was hot, or stuart was a cutie, whatever the hell. it was a lot more than that. it was being with a true friend who really understands what i feel, and beign able to cry together because stars of track and field was so fucking incredibly gorgeous, and seeing the chances and symmetry that fate unfolded upon us like a mystery. it was finding beauty and inspiration in a pretty girl and feeling for once the feelings that i thought had died in me, out of bitter betrayal and disappointment. it was romance with being alive and loving and swallowing every minute that was put before us, and finding the magic in all of this, and sharing in some beautiful words that just happened to be created by members of the human race named belle and sebastian. the soundtrack of my life at critical moments. you have to understand that when i hear isobel's voice it gives me goosebumps. no sure, it's weak, sure it's girly, sure it's small, but it's something that makes me smile for one more day and maybe cry once in a while, moments captured that are priceless to me. maybe i express it a little bit strangely sometimes. i can't help that i have the urge to create ridiculous things and say stranger things but it is more than that. It's not ONLY this or that, it's not surface obsession, it's something way beyond this. can i help it if i want to be happy for once in my life, just laugh adn not care about appearances?? with people who enjoy and understand some of the same things? that's why i am here. i know i'm relatively new but for once i felt welcomed like i could walk into a neighborhood pub and have people yell out my name, and laugh with me, and not at me-- which is what i have been used to. so i'm sorry if i got a little bent out of shape. it's not only that, and it's not only what *soandso* said, whoever that may be. it's just me and i get emotional and don't know how to deal with things that people say. so i'm sorry for furthering the nonsense. like someone was saying to me, it's like arguing with real life friends, it's so real. maybe i am sad and lonely. so. i just try the best i can. and i can admit if i've made a mistake. if i've overstepped my bounds i can step back and grant you that admission. i just wanted to say exactly what i am feeling and cut away from the anger and the nonsense and the knee jerk reactions that happen when i am embarrassed or upset. if you didnt' care what i had to say, then i apologize for clogging up your mailbox, you can just delete me if you'd like, it's your prerogative god knows. i just wanted to explain why i was so upset about whatever it was that happened, i'm not even trying to remember what it was. just that i hate to be misunderstood as some sort of pathetic tired jester, when there is so much more to what motivates me and all of us here. i'm not asking for a pat on the head or for anyone to censor their ideas for little me andmy inflated ego. i just wanted to put forth the reasons that i feel that way. because sometimes when i hear "belle and sebastian" i just burst into tears, because it makes me fear for how i'm goign to end up someday, adn i feel just like poor sebastian, the girl he adores is a glamor queen and there are tons of better boys lining up at her feet, and she's so caught up in it she barely seems to realize that he's falling apart for her sake, and there doestn' seem to be much left to do but crash the car, what is there to lose?? so in the meanwhile, i try to laugh. because it's all i can do and it comforts me ever so much, i'm caught between the ridiculous and the heartbreaking, perpetually. it's all that i can say. apologies for anyone who was bored by this. i'm not going away i'm just cooling off. rightfully or not, i felt like a little girl who has had her lego castle kicked over by a big boy. and reacted accordingly. the blame is on me for that much. hugsxxxto archel, well what did you expect, everyone loves to be cuddled now and then and i'm no exception, i'll admit i'm soft and longing for strokes, i'm human after all. extra love to everyone, we'll need it for the holiday, and dont' fear please that the world is going down, its' just having growing pains you must understand, humans dont' take easily to change, adn change is what is going on, not destruction. there has been war for thousands of years. if only we can start to change the way people think. war is so pointless. why do people argue about possessions and history? history is dead. look at us, were'r living all over the world adn we are united by the love of wonderful music. there is nothing to fear when you realize the mistakes that have been made, were all senseless and can be unlearned in you and me. xxxxtra love to bunnies and kittens and dapper gentlemen with polite manners, and to the shiny apple posse which in time will plaster the next century with messages of love and gifts for lonely souls. twee, sensitive, cheesy, idiotic, bashful, naive, cliched, faux-mystical, admitted. but we must keep on living. if we all worried about not being Hip enough, we may as well all crash our cars, so BOO! to mean hipsters. very humbly yours lesleyjo "he is my friend cos he is the trend/i love my boyfriend" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Greetings Everyone
by Blake Hamilton 22 Dec '98

22 Dec '98

Hello all-- I am a new addition to the list. I'm not sure if this is regular procedure or not, yet yes I am introducing myself, for I feel it's the right thing to do... I'm from a little town in South Carolina USA called Hilton Head (land of golf and tennis and rich pricks who fight over caviar), and go to school at Wake Forest University in Winston Salem, North Carolina. (Winston is the armpit of North Carolina, ugh). I *very* recently got into B&S, as in during the last few months. I've been a notorious Who fan for as long as I remember, along with the Floyd, Jethro Tull, and the Beatles. I find today's music lacking, besides Radiohead, whom I find to be amazing. So when I first picked up Sinister (forgive me, I'll pick up on the acronyms soon enough) it was a delightful surprise. Being a stupid American, those damn import EPs are hard to come by--though I did manage to get my hands on a copy of Modern Rock Song. This, and of course Arab Strap, make up my B&S catalogue, I'm afraid. Anyways--I appreciate B&S for its fresh sound, Stuart for his caustic (sometimes) and beautiful (sometimes) lyrics, (not to mention his tasty tasty fret buzz), and its abundance of trumpet solos (why not?!). Ok I'm wrapping this up now. I also tend to write poetry and sometimes a short story or two--so if anyone wants to swap or something, let me know. And perhaps to begin a discussion--am I the only one who adores Me and the Major? alright, that's it glad to be here blake hamibe02(a)wfu.edu +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Fighting the good fight
by IndiaRubb＠aol.com 22 Dec '98

22 Dec '98

Though I realize this was done in good spirit, and I know that this stuff should be left to Honey, I just feel a need to confront a few things in Reid Dossinger's post: reid.dossinger(a)bigfoot.com writes: << And while I'm already on your bad side, let me just let something out: There are those of us who are very proud of the places we live and the places we're from (rare for most Americans), and we don't particularly appreciate having our hometowns and states and countries dragged through the mud. Maybe you think this is an overly sensitive thing to ask, but please...just keep in mind that people live in the places that you hate, and some of them may be on this list. >> I'm not trying to lecture you, but I think you're being a little over sensitive. The only recent reference I saw to anything like the above was a slight mention to Winston-Salem, NC being called an "armpit" of the state (I think that was it). It appeared to be nothing more than just a little jest at a state, hardly venimous or vitriolic. I doubt we'll see any multi-paged posts from the person on the agonizing pain that is everyday life in Winston-Salem, or anything like that. This really is the kind of thing that most people would just say "ho hum" to. Unless someone is doing this to *try* to actually insult you, I can't really see a reason to get all bothered about it. <<In no particular order, other things that need to stop: >> I know this list is different than most lists I'm on, in that it has an "enforcing" moderator, but I still have never liked one listee telling another one what "must be done." I think it much better to phrase such statements in the form of a suggestion. In regards to the actual 3 suggestions, I'd have to say that you should've modelled your first two on the third (well, the 1st one is almost there), which points out the importance of constructive criticism...no "you suck!" posts, or anything in that simple vein. I, personally, don't have anything wrong with someone voicing an opinion on a label, listee, song, group, etc. just as long as it's done with a general sense of constructiveness. To tell someone to stop " ragging on anyone on this list, especially the ones who have been nothing but happy bunnies, like we're all *supposed* to be" is just almost as bad as a "you suck" or "shut up" post, IMO. I think you know that we don't all have to be "happy bunnies," but even a such a, err, rodent can be open to criticism. gwt +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Blessed are the Peacemakers
by David Moore 21 Dec '98

Hi All, Middle-aged lurker stumbles briefly into the daylight again: Gary Done wrote: I can't be the only one surely, Sister Disco you must have spotted it, weren't you a roadie for the Tip briefly ?. Gary, I think the word you were groping for was groupie. Wow, Digest V2 #571 was memorable. The only one in months that I've finished reading with that old wistful smile on my face - usually they get binned rather crossly as I think of all the better things I could be doing with my time. Thanks to Genevieve and Oon for some nice vibes again. TYJAMAS. I owe an apology to "Is that one Belle?" for earlier denigrating remarks about the interminable five bar Gate. Familiarity breeds contentment, and it does contain some rather jolly banjo plucking. Who plays this, by the way? Christmas fast approaching, a time for families to get together, in which context I would like all 800+ of us to hold hands and think of our Listmummy Honey, who has been very quiet of late, despite, or perhaps because of, serial provocation. I guess this either means he's very poorly, or in despair at the bickering of his offspring. I get really low & depressed when my three children fight, so God knows what Paul must go through when the hordes of us scream selfishly at each other. Whatever, Happy Christmas Honey, and I wish you a hale, hearty and healthy 1999. Fellow Sinisterines, I don't wish to sound pompous, but please abide by the list rules and have a happier '99. To anyone unfamiliar with British culture who doesn't know who the Sir Cliff is that you have to think of before hitting that send key, he's an amazingly witty and passionate bloke who never opens his mouth unless he's got something to say of genuine interest to numerous other people about how Belle and Sebastian affects his life. :) Boring 80's music type fact: bought The Best of Jackson Browne today, because I discovered it contained "Somebody's Baby", a song I heard on the radio only once about 15 years ago, have been able to remember ever since, and have never been able to find a copy of until today. That's memorable for you. One of the things I love about Belle and Sebastian is that I know that I'll be listening to certain songs like Modern Rock Song, String Bean Jean, Century of Fakers and Sleep The Clock Around in 15 years time, and I bet that idiotic grin will still spread slowly across my (by then even more wrinkled) visage and that the hairs on the back of neck will still stand on end, even if they are by then the only ones left. Aplogies if my e-mail software makes the format of this really hard to read, Happy Christmas All Regards, David Moore Chelmsford, UK +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

hello everyone. i am new to this list. introductory "hi i'm laura i'm new here nice to meet you" messages don't interest me much, so please consider me officially introduced! :) someone said: <<I listened to TBWTAS in bed last night (for the first time in a while what with TEAJAMMERS) and it made me so happy that I could hardly stop myself from getting up, throwing on some clothes and running into the street (or at least my housemate's bedroom) to shout 'This band are so bloody wonderful that I can barely breathe when I listen to them. >> 'the boy with the arab strap' does not *usually* affect me that way, though i do adore it. 'if you're feeling sinister' amazes me and sends me into fits of breathlessness, as you mentioned.
