Hi. I understand that there is some kind of Belle and Sebastian chat forum that you can join. Can any computer literate person help me with this. I have tried to follow the instructions on Pauls WWW but I'm not really sure what I am doing. Thanks. Anna ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: just a quickie

Nickem threw caution to the winds, proving hersalf to be the crazy, zany and madcap student everyone feared her to be and wrote: Does'nt it say something about us? " What?" I hear the keyboard tappings of your brains mutter. The fact that such an ancient crustation like Elton John can incite such an amazing level of response. He is an old singer. End of Story. Just not everybody's cup of tea. Now lets move on to . . oh, who shall we choose? Errmmm . . . perhaps Phil Collins? Whoa! Approaching contentious issues there! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Not B&S

So Guy Chadwick got swapped for Jimmy Webb. Thank you men and womenfolks for introducing me to him. Somethings are in your life and you don't know that they're there until someone else finds them. Does the Warm Jets album match the wonderfulness of their name? And why is Local Boy in a Photograph growing on me? And Rod, how do your biscuits get into Iceland? Is it under the icing clause. Principle wouldn't allow me to buy something stocked under a misleading name. And finally, Agnes, I don't like to snipe, well okay so I do like to snipe, but what has fowl cooked in cream got to do with biscuits? lots of love Uan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Elvis/Fakers
by Reid Dossinger 24 Feb '98

24 Feb '98

> > Did you notice that during "Century of Elvis", you can hear the words to > "Century of Fakers" in the background? This has been discussed before, but it's just now that I'm getting around to adding a comment. Pretty obviously, Fakers was recorded before Elvis was, and when it came time to record Elvis, they just turned the Fakers vocals down. But, there was some bleed (probably into other mics) and so you can still very faintly hear the Fakers vocals. So here's the deal: Fakers was the "original" song and Elvis was the "take-off" song. I like Elvis too, but I've always wondered why so many people seem to prefer Elvis to Fakers. Is it because it came out first? I mean, it's really interesting and really fun and a great story...but Fakers a much better song. Still, I really think it just goes back to whichever one you heard first, which would be Elvis for those people who bought the EP's when they came out. There. I said it. ~Reid ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: rebels without a clue
by mctag＠mcmail.com 24 Feb '98

24 Feb '98

Hello, Anyway, I've just waded through 5 days worth of digests after my little holiday. Not much to say, a strange thread about peeing, prompting the question - do we really want to know? Thank God as ever for the the master raconteur Chris Leonard, and the official poet laureates: Genevieve and Trousers. Speaking of Trousers, he wrote: >Continuing on a cinematic note, I was intrigued to read the other day that, >in a Travoltaesque career resurrection, Robert Forster has landed a role in >the new Tarantino film, Jackie Brown. What next? Trousers, is this really true? I'm a little disappointed, I thought the Robert Redford of the 80's would want to be associated with something a bit more classy. I saw Robert F come out into the crowd to sing 'When people are dead' at a Go-B's show, a large circle formed around him, no-one dared touch him, everyone just stared open-mouthed - I can picture it now and it's a very precious moment. Err, have I told this story before? >Good point about the "England's Rose" thing, though. "Britain's Rose" would have fit, >and would have been at least a *bit* more appropriate. I must admit I am quite pleased that Scotland wasn't brought into the story. You can't help feeling sorry for poor Diana - cut down whilst enjoying her third holiday in two months. Leann wrote: >where did the Elton John threads come from, hey? I assumed that Elton John >didn't even enter into our thoughts. Good for you Leann. Elton's made plenty of great stuff in the past, and slagging him hardly makes you 'the Wild One'. Nor does this offering from Rod Begbie, or whatever zany pseudonym he's got today: >> Celine Dion is utter pants. > >Agreed^2. 'I hate Celine Dion', wow, how dangerous. Do you throw tantrums when you hear Phil Collins? They exist - get over it. Wacky old Rod also wrote: > Single bloke, I don't wanna be a single bloke, > I'm so desperate, I could do it with an artichoke ... frankly, I'm not surprised. I have to go. The secretary at work just invited me to 'come upstairs and talk Scottish' to her. Susannah should try that line. Cheerio, Tag xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

"Britain's Rose" would have fit, >and would have been at least a *bit* more appropriate. > Princess Bendy Nose was English, whether or not she was Princess of Wales. The notion of the UK being England, or vice versa, has nothing to do with the self-perception of the English. It's just plain old fashioned ignorance. Most people say "London" for "England"for "Great Britain" for "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" and so on and so on and so on and so on. And they think the English are a bunch of tossers. Paul, couldn't you arrange for Hugh the Bog Fister to make some kind of declaration on this subject? Peter PS: Captain Fantastic and the Dirt Brown Cowboy is all right in a miserable Saturday afternoon kind of way, but Goodbye Yellow Brick Road isn't really up to much I!M!H!O! I bought them both after the last outburst of anti-Elton feeling on the list and the result is a one-all draw. PPS: I would like to see the High Llamas, I think they're good. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

In a message dated 23/02/1998 10:01:23 GMT, you write: << Cornershop are number 1, how cool is that! In an almost unprecedented manoeuvre, the British public have spent 66% more money on Brimful of Asha than Celine Dion's current offering, placing Cornershop most definitely Toppermost of the Poppermost... which is nice. >> Also, it's good to see bosoms getting a mention again. The word "bosom" hasn't been used on tv since The Two Ronnies Christmas Special 1975. Fact.
