Sinister: video shoot
by Sandibrady＠aol.com 14 Dec '98

Got back from the video shoot around 6pm this evening. Got to meet a few fans, which was very cool. Lance & Dan were both great guys. I had a lot of fun. I wound up being filmed in a pair of blue plastic pants doing the "Peanuts" character dance in front of a big pile of sand. So if I don't wind up getting cut out, then that's me.

Sinister: bis is crap
by brad 14 Dec '98

14 Dec '98

don't be fooled. they are. so i was in the video. or, rather, i haven't ended up on the cutting room floor yet. robbie is so modest. not only was he pelted and prodded and poked with flowers for his part, but we also drug him down to the bad part of town and stripped him naked (except for socks) and put a sign around his neck that said "put whatever you want in any part of my body and receive one free rock of crack" boy was he pissed! he came back with a bicycle handlebar sticking out of his ass and bloody ears. and then we found out that the lens cap was left on the camera. but he willfully volunteered to do it all over. he was muttering something about "finally finding a purpose in life" when last we saw him. haven't seen him since. the shoot was interesting i guess. i only wish more listmembers would have showed up. i don't think stuart will be pleased with the satanic slaughter of this stray kitten that we performed in the middle of a pentogram, though. but, it was done out of love, and as long as he finds it in his heart to understand that, everything will be fine. it was all this guy's fault named billy who showed up with johnny. he insisted that we "shed some blood of the innocent" i'd like to take this opportunity to give a shoutout to my main doo-doo stain, sam, who just joined the list, apparently. hey, sam, i got you this new cradle of filth bootleg in athens. it has that song "mutilate your firstborn, so says beelzebub" that you've been looking for. i listened to it. it's crap. and so is bis. -brad but he also had this other scene where he's wearing a stuart murdoch mask, and he's walking down the street with nothing but a class ring on, and he comes across this person in an isobel mask. so there in the middle of the road they proceed to "get it on". the director guaranteed us that it would look like stuart getting it on with isobel when he gets done with his 3-d trickery and his array of lighting techniques. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: GRLKJTGIPGHVJHKHRGORGRHDHGXXX
by Mick McMick 14 Dec '98

Hullo, Just an hour ago I was informed that I very well may be putting on a Santa costume while little toddlers and babies sit on my knee tomorrow. I will more than likely have to go "Ho Ho HO" and say things of that sort, but I really hope that the regular Santa shows up. If not I will get a picture and send it in to Honey for the picture page, which has blossomed quite nicely as of late... So yesterday I was in the car with my mom, getting ready to do some Christmas shopping. We were listening to the oldies station in the car, something I do quite often, and a song came on that reminded me of B&S quite a bit. Lovely organ bits that also sounded like Felt, soul-sounding bassline, and no vocals to make me immediately recognize it wasn't B&S. I asked my mom who it was, and it turns out it was Booker T. & the MGs. So I bought one of their CDs and it's quite nice. I couldn't find that song, but I am pleased regardless. Mike Caught in Flux wrote: > Forget the summer, I want to know where the winter's gone. It's > mid-December and still the temperature's in the 50s. I want cold > weather, dammit. Well, I'm with Mike. I want SNOW! Snow....Snoooow....SNOOOOW (repeat a la White Christmas). The closest I got was lots of frost on my car this morning. That's well and good but it better stay this way, or I'm going to find the person in charge of the weather here in the US and smack them around until they give us proper weather. 60's indeed! Hmph. Speaking of the US, I've ignored this whole UK vs. US thread, and will continue to do so. It's sad to see Beth go, and I hope this list doesn't go the way of the other list I was on that she quit. In more pleasant news, I ordered my copy of the new EP yesterday. They said it would be here tuesday or wednesday. Also got that Ballroom CD, so I hope it's as good as the Millenium. I think I'm getting the Sagittarius CD for Christmas too, in fact I'm almost positive about it. I've decided that I need a B&S tape for my car. Well, other than Tigermilk of course. I decided I would make a tape of my favorite songs...but then I realized I ought to wait until I get the new EP, so I will. But, I think this is a good idea, as I always end up listening to my tapes more than my CDs, since I have so many more CDs, and usually am too lazy to switch the tapes around in my car much. Has anyone else done this, or am I a pioneering little Sinisterine...? On the subject of the as-yet-to-be-released EP & album, it seems to me that there are lots of references to the next album being recorded soon, but none to the EP being recorded soon. That makes me think the EP already has been. Anyone remember Stuart posting about how they'd just recorded "Paper Boat," and then another post about them recording an as-yet-unnamed song? I was thinking, though, they'd better get to writing songs soon! After all, they seem to have played most of the songs off of DJMARSBAR and TWATTYBUS at shows long before they were released. So I ask you, where are these songs for this new EP & album going to come from? Evidently they have enough for an EP: Lord Anthony, Wrong Girl, the aforementioned Paper Boat and the lovely lovely Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner. That's four there. But what of the album? Will they resurrect Rhoda? The instrumental Tigermilk? Some old Struan demos? Maybe they'll record some of these covers they've been playing live... Maybe they'll do an album of Average White Band covers. But regardless, we have no idea what the album will sound like, which is really a first, isn't it? /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - bp224995(a)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: She bit it off in a buick?
by Michael Barrett 14 Dec '98

14 Dec '98

WooHoo! I got my copy of Must You Keep Your Socks On? on Saturday!! But I can't listen to it for another week. Still, I've got half of it on my teeny-weeny md player so I'm ok. (What an ep that would've been - Pocket Book Angel, Lonlieness..., Modern Rock Song and Slow Graffitti - once again, thank you Ben). Quick question though - I always assumed Easterhouse meant the housing estate, but in the wordy bit it's written as Easter House. Does this mean somewhere/thing else, or am I just being pedantic? >But life goes on. Who called WeeJay a homosexual? >And who suggested that Lesley J needed a jolly good >seeing to? Was it the same person? It bloody well was not. Don't ask me how I know, I just do. Bloody poof ;-) Where has all the snow gone? It's nearly christmas and I walked to work this morning without a jacket and I had to wear sunglasses. What's going on? All right, I am on the other side of the planet from where I usually am, but by all accounts it ain't snowing much in Glasgow either - sunshine on Cowdenbeath Keith's teeth in Leith according to some. And where has Honey gone? Is this more than a concidence? Is this is punishment for all the sand throwing and shin kicking and all-your-friends-are-fat-and-you-smell mails of late? I reckon He's sitting on an island somewhere, possibly with some of the other missing listees, whilst the snow just pours down on them. Talking of WeeJay, he had this to say for himself: >Yes, I'm backing you up on this one, except I don't think it's two >extra 'boy's but instead a strange, admittedly vocal, noise. I heard >it on my Beat Patrol tape but I assumed it was (a) a fault in the >tape or more likely (b) a problem in the mix that would be sorted >out when it was released. Seems it's just another weird quirk I always thought this was a "Ho ho, ho", in a kind of Santa Claus way. I had never thought to question what relevance this had to the song (like someone said, I ain't had no book learnin'). Michael the 'overly-styled, cocky gentleman with an eye for the ladies possibly a bit of a lech'. PS I know Leith isn't in Glasgow PPS And no, I didn't call anyone a homosexual PPPS And no, the copies I have in my md aren't digital. I, eh, squeezed a tape in and it worked just fine. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

The human who has revealed my name will surely be delt with.....your Robbie listee fellow, in a manner that far exceeds your simple executions! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: my 15 minutes are now up.
by r. h. 14 Dec '98

14 Dec '98

charliehorse heads, just got back from the video shoot. it was cold and windy. i was pelted with sunflowers in the video so if it makes it in you know that's me. i have great faith in lance that the video will turn out great, he seemed to know what he was doing. and for all you lucky ladies you'll be happy to know that brad had the star part in the video. they recreated the scene in a madonna video where she's standing in the street butt naked trying to hitch a ride. except this time it's brad, he does have some clothes on--his socks, we didn't want him to catch cold. it's good to see that a certain conversation has been buried. i knew the threat of some serious smut would work. oh, and a friend sam has joined the list(sorry sam to reveal your identity). all in all he's an alright kinda guy but don't mess with him or he'll break out the cradle of filth. great meeting johny and billy, your part was ace! robbie ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: salako = slayer / pastels
by rob b 13 Dec '98

13 Dec '98

evening all why is it that weekends go so fast? it was rather a good one though; spent it in london, and made it to the pastels gig where lady penelope, biondino, funkyseb and a whole host of other sinisterians were congregated at the back of the garage. v-twin were supposed to be supporting, but future pilot turned up instead, but i missed them anyway so i was quite relieved! stephen pastel has a duffelcoat and a very silly dance, and katrina has a lovely luna t-shirt, just like mine! but first, something that amused me whilst sheltering from the rain in picadilly circus HMV. i was wandering around aimlessly trying to find the singles section, and stumbled across the salako album, but it was not where i expected to find the piece of P!O!O! that is 'reinventing punctuation'. no, it was in the METAL section, along with slayer, cannibal corpse, megadeth and the like. i'm sure the metalheads will all enjoy the twee lyrical poignancy of the story about a man called bill, who lives on edible flowers and gets wee kittens as presents. i bought 'cat power' and 'the secret stars' - not bad, but i'm hoping they'll grow on me. that's it - off to bed rob p.s. never try doing riverdance to the prodigy - you look very silly +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: belle booty!
by Joe Frese 13 Dec '98

13 Dec '98

okay, i got a number of positive responses regarding my plans to put up a belle and sebastian tape trading web site, so i've started work on it. hopefully, eventually it'll include the following: a list all the different tapes out there (with reviews); a list of people interested in trading, what tapes they have, and what tapes they want, etc; an faq with general quidelines for trading; and a nifty section where if you're just looking for one song, you can find what tapes contain that song . . . and the best part is, it's gonna be called belle booty! (yes i was up all night thinking of that one . . . i'm pathetic.) but first things first: i'm trying to put together a list of tapes that are currently in circulation . . . it's very preliminary, but if any of you kind listees have the urge to help me out, it's at http://members.tripod.com/~icybro/bellebooty.txt of course if you have any other comments or suggestions, feel free to email me at the address in the header. see ya on the flipside, joe "icy bro" frese +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
