Sinister: (NBSC) It's good to write
by Funkyseb＠aol.com 11 Feb '98

Sorry if this is a bit old, but having ploughed through 200 e-mails I'm going to have my say. (sorry!) I wrote to Belle and Sebastian a while ago, and I sent them a picture of 3 year old me (Sebastian) with my doggie of the time (Belle). I didn't hear anyting though. Oh dear, I hope they didn't take the piss. Katrina, did you see it? I sent it to Jeepster,I thought it was very sweet. I wrote a poem to Henry Kelly too once, but he never answered; oh well, it's a busy life, I s'pose. Claire wrote: < I am just insane or do other <people get as much pleasure as I do from music and are not afraid to show <it? The other day I was walking home, listening to Tigermilk, and a bus came, but I wanted to sing along so much that I let it go and walked for two miles instead. Which was really stupid I suppose, but Belle and Sebastian just make me do that sort of thing. They make me smile a lot at strangers too. Hooray! B&S- Prozac for the ears, or something. Sarah wrote: < Oh, don't want to discriminate, any men with <nice legs and big hair can join in the tea party too. That'll be me then.... Convert count= 5 See you all on top of Primrose Hill.....

Sinister: the Sarah who always posts posts again......
by Sarah 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

Hello Sinisterines/Sinisterettes.... may i say how lovely it was to talk to Lisa on chat today! She called me the Sarah who always posts. I don't know why, I just have this compulsive urge to write stuff to a load of strangers oh lord am I really that bad??? heck! I *do* have a point, I've jut forgotten it. Oh yes. The Rod Stuart Debate. That reminds me. Los Manicos covered a song called 'Stay With Me'. its really cheesey power rock stuuf, ace to sing when drunk and really hilarious. After singing it very loudly round Preston, to my intense shame and horror (also explaining my shaved head) I looked up who first did that song on the 'net and it was only.... Rod 'do you want my body, don't you know I'm SIXTY!!!' Stuart!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I hope at least you wouldn't catch Belle and Sebastian catching me out with something like that, I'm sure their covers would only be of the exqisite taste! Like the ambassadors reception perhaps!!!!! maybe. ok then. Adios mis amigos!!!!! lovehearts and stars and fanzines Sarah ********************************* FEATHER BOAS & NAPALM ZINE C'MON!

Sinister: Make love not war
by susannah 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

on 09 Feb 98, Paul Blackwell wrote a load of really dull shite about Northy and a homeless man, then went on to say: This is not a personal attack on Northy, I am just >letting you all know the truth. >As North will be gone from the list for a while, you will have to make to with me. I am less controversial but also live in Ashford which makes me a perfect Northy substitute. For Fucks sake I do NOT want to listen to crap like this!! If your posts are going to continue in this vein then stay off the bloody list OK? A rather tormented susannah. oh, and what I really wanted to say was this: I have been pondering over the mailing list questions to B&S and come up with a couple I REALLY want to ask Chris geddes: At Manchester you were puking in a bucket under your keyboard, were there any carrots? Stuart Murdoch: Did the bad reviews of the Manchester gigs affect you? The music press all seem desperate to give you a good slagging. I am too. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give you one. Stuart David: If Bill Clinton can do it , you can too, You know where to find me. No questions to Isobel or Sarah due to female jealousy OK? And this ones to all of them: Which band member would you most like to punch? Lastly, the bastards at York Excel photos have officially lost my Manchester gig snaps and here's where you come in bell-end sebastian fans. To enable the location of my photos I have to describe what was on them i.e. the band... I have to state : Sex, Age, whether In or Out (Stuart???), , What is the person wearing and what is the person doing. I have to also describe 'any scars, birthmarks, jewellery, costumes and their hair (colour, texture, braided, ponytail, greying, balding, moustache, beard) ' So, come on kids!! Most apt and original description wins a prize! No Felt LPs but Do have a spare copy of 'Obsession' by Animotion I can spare.

Sinister: what's that beeping?

Rosie O'Begbie wrote: And does anyone still remember who sang "Breakfast At Tiffany's"? Into the "Where Are They Now?" file, so young! that would have to be Deep Blue Something. saw them opening for Letters to Cleo once, bunch of pretty boys from Texas (no offense to any Texans on the list). favorite b&s moment: when Stuart M. almost slightly laughs on _modern rock song_ when singing "so I'll leave them to do what they want...." at least it sounds like a stifled laugh to me... whatever happened to the lemurs?

Sinister: You made me forget your names...
by paul.sumner＠unn.ac.uk 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

Hi everyone! This must be an unusual request on this list, but can anyone tell me the names of the band?!!! (I'm one of these bandwagon-jumping "new" fans who doesn't even own Tigermilk!) And I've never seen their names on any of the records...I know about Stuart Murdoch, Stevie Jackson on guitar and Stuart David, but could anyone fill me in on who the rest of them are? Cheers, Paul PS Does anyone here like The Jam? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: SF BAY GUARDIAN
by Tara Widmer 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

Hello hello mes amies! Good news all around, lookie here in the new San Francisco Bay Guardian on page 23 in Johnny Ray Huston's "Out Loud" column!!!! oooh it's BELLE AND SEBASTIAN! whoo hooo Alas more critical praise for our lads and lassies, "IYFS" in particular! I think I like this man Johnny Ray. He makes the "Seeing other People"/ "Peanuts" comparison too, and remarks on "fox in the snow" as a particular favorite. If somebody doesn't beat me to it, I shall very soon copy the article for anyone unfortunate enough to not live in the bay area to read it....But right now am too busy at work... They have a website tho, http://www.sfbg.com, so maybe it will appear there. I just got back from a smashing time in London and I loved it so thanks for asking. Did I tell you I went to this lil club, it was on Berwick Street on Saturday and they played "Like Dylan in the movies"?? I know I couldn't believe it myself. England was so much fun. I went to loads of clubs and shops and restaurants and saw all kinds of interesting things.... hmm I got my photo taken with Ian Brown, I did! I saw various "EastEnders" people and Paul Weller came into my restaurant one night for dinner with his family. Oh I saw Tamara Beckwith too one night, she looked like a ho and I told her so but she just ignored me. she makes me sick. BTW this may be old news, but the whole adoring Catatonia thing - I don't get it. "Mulder and Scully" is complete rubbish. They are at best average, this is only me opinion girls and boys, so please don't deluge me with e-mail trying to convince me of the contrary. Happy to be back on the list, talk to you all again soon! Tarappa the Rapper ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Rod the Mod
by Keith Watson 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

>And there's nice steel guitar on it. I like Teenage Fanclub very much, but I >think Rod might just have the edge on them in terms of.....oh dear, I can't >think of a suitable word....weightiness. I think Rod's made some splendid records over the years - Rod's biggest fault I'd have said is his inability to notice the fact that many of the songs he wrote/co-wrote are better than the dross he chooses to cover so often. "Every picture tells a story" is a lovely album, although there's never really been an album to match that (you'll excuse me if I can't comment on his eighties offerings), but I'd say even through the years he's had a load of good singles, "The killing of Georgie" is dead, as is "I was only joking" which for Rod the lad who shags the blonds is quite an admission of insecurity. I am the only person I've met so far who can see shades of "Do you think I'm sexy" in the intro to the Roses "I wanna be adored". And there's even numerous good singles throughout the 80's. Anyone agree? Tim Hopkins perhaps? :-) I'm off home now, Take care, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
