crackbabies, guess who's packing up and bringing in the new year in new york. me:). so all of you with women that you'd like to keep, you better hide'm because the man who taught barry white everything he knows about sweeping a girl off her feet is a'comin' to town. actually, i can't lie. barry didn't teach me anything, my daddy did, and that's not saying to much seeing as how he's still a virgin. but first things first, i have to go check out this whole belle and sebastian video thing saturday in athens. anyone know any details like is it only list members? or are they letting anyone do it? and will it require me to wear a diaper(i rash easily)? bye, oh wait, shout outs: to megan for a great tape and denise: i didn't talk about shit aren't you proud of me? oh and all my dead hommies of course. robbie ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Mat Musings...
by Ben Rainbird 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

Hi again, thanks to all the lovely who wrote and said you liked my introduction, it was nice! I'll write to all those people at some future date, probably tomorrow. Today I am pondering whether to go out and betray my beloved Liverpool and buy a Manchester City top or not. The sky is a lovely blue today, a lovely Australian blue. Today is the sixth anniversary of my epic voyage to the ski slopes of Switzerland. I met Paul Hester (ex of Crowded House) the night after he completed his run of sheds (non Australians are now confused) and he said "Ben (thankfully cos that's my name), I am so fucking pissed I can't feel my legs!" which has stayed with me as a profound statement on a par with "I'll win an Oscar no shit by the year 2000" (Wendy James, Transvision Vamp). I can play a glockenspiel so I count as a musician, and I have a hidden talent for stand up comedy. And my friend once beat up a guy in an Elmo suit which broke my heart. I'm drifting now, off to my happy place where the Sun hits the Sky and I have never heard the hidden track of 1977 by Ash of the bloke vomiting. It's a field of green where I run. And then, after 2 hours of football, I nick the ball off the toe of the Rangers trialist, round the keeper and break a 30-30 tie. Magic. And we all drink Irn Bru and laugh. Are there any Scottish people out there?

Re: Sinister: Want the New Single!

Usually Repo Records in Bryn Mawr receives new items within a week. Also, www.sirencd.com allows for pre-orders and ships promptly so you could order from them as well. I was amazed that my copy was at my doorstep yesterday - 12/7. ( I pre-ordered direct from Jeepster this time). I don't know how it arrived so fast but with service like that I will ALWAYS order this way (and I feel better about supporting the band and label directly). Thanks David!!!!!..... Thanks Jeepster shipping dept.!!!

Sinister: Please... shut up !
by Philippe Garnier 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

Bonjour les amis ! I know that what I will say sounds silly but... please could you avoid speaking about the new single until I get it by the end of the week. My friend Lauren - who has not yet married Stuart Murdoch - will bring the single from UK in a few days, so please, don't give me a heart attack til I can hear it! That would not be fair at all. As far as the "she and me" problem is on the table, I would like to say that you have to make this clearer for kids like me (I ?), whose english is as bad as an english cheese. Now, listen to me carefully: I've received Alistair's book last week (Young and Foolish). I only had time to have a look on it, because I had to finish the House of Sleep by Jonathan Coe, which is very good book by the way. But it seems to me that Young and Foolish is a FUCKING GREAT BOOK !! Do you want to know my favourite CD of the year ? Frankly, I hope you don't, because I don't like this word "favourite", neither the "year" concept. "Des larmes sur ses joues, et c'est mon coeur qui pleure, Ses lèvres sur ma joue, et je pleure de bonheur" Be happy!

Sinister: Musicians
by Chris Butler 09 Dec '98

How many folks on this list are musicians? What sorts of music do you write? I ask because I write, I'm in a band (or two), and if I was considered twee, I'd probably blush. SF is having a blackout and it's wonderful today. The sky has never looked more wide-open, or perhaps it's my glass of port that's setting me asail. señor droolcup +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Jammin with the Tigger
by TFertig3＠aol.com 08 Dec '98

08 Dec '98

Dear list, I am a sad girl with no TIGGERJAM to listen to. I will get it on Friday probably. Oh how the week goes by so slowly! Is it really mello? I hope not. I like B&S best when they're all about p!o!p! I'm happy to hear you are all having great successes with your Study at Stow shirts. I, however, have gotten nothing! No response whatsoever! But then, that is not why we wear these shirts, is it? We don't wear them especially to attract the eyes of other Belle and Sebastianites lurking in the streets, do we? We don't wear them just so that everyone knows we like B&S, right? That's what we have the mailing list for. :) I like to wear my shirt because whenever I look down I feel happy that I'm wearing a piece of my favorite band, and it's a neato shirt too. And it accentuates my arms of sex, which are actually more like arms of stringbean. I wish I could have the old design with the bus. Will that ever be available again? I bought XO by Elliot Smith cause it was on sale, and I like the first half, but the second half is a bit poo. I like the beginning of Independence Day a lot. Oh dear, what is M***** M****? Something music.. yes? I've seen it I'm sure, on the shelf at the bookstore.. so many times.. Did anyone see the Simpsons on Sunday? What a moving episode. I cried. The only other two episodes I cried at was the one Bart steals the video game, and the one about Marge and Homer and the prom. Am I nuts? This show has depth, you know. It is the funniest stuff around, and that is why I have to go watch it now. Can I have one of Rod's votes? Tami xxxx that's my new sig. It's working for others, why not for me? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Mo Hopkirk and Lee please
by bkim0＠dept.english.upenn.edu 08 Dec '98

08 Dec '98

Anyone know about further Hopkirk and Lee releases? I've just heard this ep and love it to death, but it's just not enough. I'd even take "A Hopkirk And Lee Christmas," maybe. After a few weeks of amazingly warm don't-need-no-coat weather, it's all rainy here in Philadelphia and it's supposed to get really cold and winter-like. But I'd like to think that indoors, the forecast calls for flurries of passion, followed by extended periods of gettin' it on...
