Sinister: We're taking over the world...
by poetry place2 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

We are you know. It seems like I can't step out my front door without tripping over stray sinisterines. (incidentally, "sinisterine" reminds me of "listerine", especially the dragon with haliotosis and Leslie Phillips' voice). Just last night I was out at the Poetry Library on the Southbank, filling in my borrowing form. "I know that name" says the girl behind the desk. "um, I work for the Poetry Society" says I, a little sheepishly. "No, no, you're from the Belle and Sebastian mailing list, aren't you???!!!!" Our celebrity knows no bounds... Meester Meeller wrote: >One other thing: As far as I am aware, no one has repoted back about >Trousers' Big Night Out. How did the Poetry Society regulars react to an >indie-schmindie invasion? Funny you should mention it, as I've just got the ink polaroids back from the developers. It was a terrific night, and in fact we plan to hold a similar event on the first Friday of every month. Come and join us!! Here's a polaroid from the cafe.. >We're all gathered around the scrabble board. In the foreground there is Peter-Peter Opium Eater who >has somehow joined our group. If you look closely you can see a copy of Catcher in the Rye in his >pocket. He has just told Tag "I'd rather be a smackhead than middleclahhhss". You can just about see >the witty retort forming in Tag's mind. To the right, Andy is rubbing his hands together in glee as he >reaps another triple word score. On the left Katrina is trying to persuade James that "rek" is a real word. >In the background David and Susannah are plunging the corkscrew into another bottle of wine. Later that evening I had the latest in my series of list-dreams. I dreamt that I was sharing a bed with Tag, and as he tossed and turned in his sleep, his lily-white legs were glinting in the moonlight. I'm sure it was a dream. Wasn't it? WASN'T IT??

Sinister: Re: still here/B&S moments
by Chris Leonard 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

The return of the beautiful, beautiful madame Charlotte fills me with great joy. I've met her you know. She gave me Nick Drake the Sweetie. Her parents knew him. Isn't that coool? Mother invokes my talk of new favourite B & S moments. * The trumpet solo in my wandering days are over with the lovely strings makes me oh want to jive, bunny. * The start of Slow Graffitti makes me want to stretch. * The bit when Stuart M is spouting utter bollocks on the Beat Patrol thing about wanting to hear how Madness sound on the radio. The poor simpleton. * Sarah's speaky bit on the radio. She's the best voice. It's her birthday tommorow. It's mine next week :( * The drum solos * The guitar solos * Sarah's Bits * The bit when Darth Vader flys * Gay Vader from mr chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I bought two Rod albums about three years ago, for "Maggie May" and "You Wear It Well" respectively. For a long time I thought the rest of it was a bit shit, but a few weeks ago it suddenly dawned on me that they are in fact pretty good. They've got Bob Dylan covers on them, and an excellent version of the flawless song "I'd Rather Go Blind". They are a nice mix of British folk influences and the usual American heritage influences. They're quite sexist and occasionally racist, but that's a fairly minor quibble. At least for right wing extremists such as myself and Northy ~ 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.

Yes, you're right there was a "not" missing. However, if Stuart David wishes to give me money and/or sleep with me, I'd be more than happy!

Sinister: Moi not dead shocker/tears on the train
by Charlotte.Hall＠itps.co.uk 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

Ahem. In case anyone was worried about him (ha!) my report of Daniel Arap Moi's death was grotesquely exaggerated. And... continuing the thread about public displays of emotion in repsonse to a book, I cried helplessly on the Victoria line reading "Hitler's Willing Executioners". My flatmate Martin takes the whole of IYFS to get ready for work. Is this a record? (Yes, it's a brilliant record.) Charlotte ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: an early star catches the...breakfast?
by Sarah 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

hiya! early morning posting from me 'cos I couldn't be arsed to go into college and I wanted to avoid Spanish today......'ere is a leetle ink polaroid to help you guess why...... Thats me kneeling on the floor there. You can't see my face as I am kinda pread of on the floor, like I was shaloming to my desk or something. The teachers desk is right next to me, and a tape recorder is just to the left of me on the floor, where it fell. My legs are tangled up in orange wire, and there is a chair lying on my head. Yes OK. I wwas getting a chair from the other side of the room, tripped over some wire as i was carryong it back over my head, and fell down and the chair landed on my head. OW. it was painful. I wish I had Columbo videos for Stuey babey. Why is every female of this list in love with Stuey D? Or Stuey M. WHY NOT RICHARD!!!!! perhaps cos no-one has ever seen Richard. Well, i would like to say that Richard 'kicks big-time ass' as a drummer and when he shows himself in public i'm sure he will be a regualr 'beefcake' and 'studmuffin'. (Saying stolen from USA High and Saved By The Bell the first lot, not the 2nd lot who wre just a feeble imitation, even though Saved by the Bell the college years was just a desperate attempt to keep the team together. wat next Saved by the vell the pension queue???) I need help too. What songs can *i* do for the duke? Cornershop? SFA stuff! I have ALL the SFa stuff except for one track on Ankst Radio Cymron session CD (yes i like being anal! i ahve seen much worse in #sinister!)..Gorkys...i have most of their stuff too ecept for the Llanfrowg Ep and Gwenn ni goffen 7"......the best thing i isially put on peoples compilations is this and called Belle and Sebastian. But I think the Duke has songs of their that they aint even written yet. Its far easier doing tapes for Claire. *It all keeps adding up, I think I'm cracking uuup* And now I am singing Green Days songs. Claire reminds me of Green Day even though none of you know her. :) I might even resort to putting the green day she taped me on Duke Dudes tape.... I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!!
