Sinister: Manic
by MATTHEW M STEAD 17 Feb '98

I think that the Brick Supply version of the song is actually better than the Dubstar version. Maybe I'm just strange or does anyone else agree?!

Sinister: Loving Spoonfull and Ink Photographs
by Jonathan Wren 17 Feb '98

17 Feb '98

I was eating my breakfast yesterday when, on Melody Radio (my parents choice NOT mine!) a song came on by a group called Loving Spoonfull. Now, the song was pretty insipid cack (it was on Melody, after all) but the singer's voice was very, very similar to Stuart Murdoch's. Anyone else heard of this group/singer? Just an observation... A (very) little ink photograph to finish: This one's of me. It was the moment when I read on the Sinister posting that I'd be missing the B&S chats. You can just see the blood emerging from my head after I'd smashed into the monitor in despair. Speaking of Ink Photographs, has anyone here who writes fiction incorporated it into anything they've written? I used the idea on a story I wrote and it "came out" really well. Was Stuart David actually the originator or has a similar sort of idea been used before? All the best and if I don't post again before I go back to Dundee, take care and have fun, Jon ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Gatorade?

Believe it or not, but Gatorade isn't an international thing either. Would that be 'Gator' as in Alligator? Oh! the things you Americans are willing to put in your bodies ;-). No more mails about the Bobby Dylan B&S connection please (half-joking). I was going to ask if that information was on the B&S website but some spawny git beat me to it. Suggested reading: 'The Elephant' - Richard Rayner 'The Sandman' - Miles Gibson 'Vagabond' - A.P. Wolf If you have a prediliction for novels containing dysfunctional families, liars, weirdness, madness and some death give these a glance.

Paul, Sorry yeah. Hopefully by now Sarah and I have resolved any differences and had a firm virtual handshake. You will realise of course (as you said), the importance of these issues, and by actually posting this to the list it has meant Sarah has gained invaluable knowledge (not!) into the goings on of Local Govt Finance, and me to the plight of our nations studes. It has not been totally in vain. Sorry again. Adrian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Have you managed to get hold of any of their stuff? People just give me blank looks when I mention any of the best bands from Helterskelter. Robin Scott is far and away better than Elton John. "Kicking up the Pavement" is so moving. Richard Anderson ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: le pastie de la newbie...
by LNDuggan＠aol.com 17 Feb '98

17 Feb '98

...no, not really. I'm actually very happy to be here. Like the happy bunnies the signature says we are, this list just keeps on multiplying, and I'm one of the new members. So, hi everyone. My name's leeann, I'm 17, and I'm a new(ish) Belle and Sebastian fan. I won't get into my reasons for loving Belle and Sebastian, because I could go on forever (friends *will* vouch for this). It's just that the moment I heard them, I was in love. Which has never happened to me before. Which feels lovely. Belle and Sebastian make me want to dance about, and I often do, much to the vexation of my friends. Well, it's either that or my tuneless banshee screeching to "Lazy Line Painter Jane"... I'm also founder, President, and member of my town's Belle and Sebastian fan club. Membership is currently in the 1 range, reflecting a staggering growth of 100% over last year's membership. The club began as a cheap ploy to lure these two Belle and Sebastian fans that my friends told me about over to my house, but has evolved into much more than that. Club activities now include comparing sketches of what we imagine the band members to look like, checking coin return slots in pay phones to finance a trip to New York when B and S tour, and learning just enough guitar to play "Me and the Major". Plus my mum sells the ultra-rare, indie label, out of print Tigermilk candy bars after meetings! Totally pristine these are, never been licked or bitten into, for the bargain-basement price of $120. You're all invited to the next meeting, of course. I'm getting sort of tired of bossing myself about... yours, leeann "being a rebel's fine / but you go all the way / to being brutal" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Tigermilk again, and again, and again
by plaird 17 Feb '98

17 Feb '98

On Tigermilk: >Surely it would be better for them to swiftly bring out a reissue, >(maybe on CD, so there's no problem differentiating new copies from >the original). We've had this thread a couple of times already - It's a comet that orbits the list every couple of months. Unlike a comet it gets larger - before Jeepster hurls it off into (cyber)space again. We all love the band - personally, if I found someone selling a pirated copy I'd mail Jeepster to tell them what it sounds like :-). But seriously, I'd have to tip off the band and Jeepster, since it's assumed (by me anyway) the band will reissue it sometime on CD so I could get a nice clear copy then. But will they? We could harange them constantly until, on the verge of madness, they submit. (I got this idea from a Simpsons episode). Ahh Sarah, what have you started?: >I do not mean to. And no I am not in SWP or the Communists. I happen to >care about education. I think it is time that people realise it is not >only the Uni fees that are being cut, it is EDUCATION as a whole. Paul said non-UK listees wouldn't be able to follow this thread. I may be wrong but don't most of the students in other countries have to pay for their Uni fees/living expenses etc? (no need to answer). From their perspective Sarah's heart-felt and honest anger/fear may seem faintly ridiculous. Enough on this thread I think. ENOUGH I SAY! See ya later alliGATOR, The Laird of East Fountainbridge ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

I'll go ahead and make my offer since it should be finished at the end of the week - "Puerto" (issue 6) is putting out a series of "roasts", the first of which is on Belle and Sebastian. Puerto is actually a suppliment to a larger zine ("Mito") and comes free, but I won't be printing too many. It's only 8 pages (being a suppliment), and includes various roasty topics. Being reader friendly, if anyone would like one, just send me your address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
