In a message dated 2/8/98 0:19:05AM, you write: << He was better known as on-man-band in "Another Sunny day" which had some singles on sarah and a compilation album called "London Week-end"(sarah613). He, then, had a mini album out on sarah called "Rebellion" (sarah406). Both of them are really good. But, Imo, his best song is "I'm in love with a girl who doesn't know I exist" >> George Hamilton's Dead and Anorak City (Are You Scared To Get Happy? flexi circa '87 I think) were damn good too. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

R: Sinister: high fidelity... low quality writing

I think that "High fidelity" is a really really good book and that Stuart is completely right! If the Duke thinks that what the author wrote are only "obvious predictable bollocks" so he probably must go further than the first third.

It could be that Salinger took inspiration from Chandler, who wrote the most of his works before. (Even if I sincerely doubt of it!). BTW, both GENEVA (on a single) and Robyn Hitchcock (on an old album) made songs named after R.Chandler ("Raymond Chandler"-by Geneva and "Raymond Chandler evening"- by R.Hitchcock) and, of course, R.C. is a great writer, no doubt.! Love, Francesco. "...and when I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me...."

Sinister: Belle was ok
by Sarah 07 Feb '98

07 Feb '98

Hola! Belle and Sebastian! Yeah! *************************** Hey, I HAD A LISTEE DREAM!!!!! A certain person on this list...who I've not met.....don't ask me why I dreamt about them, this is very wierd. This person was supposed to be visiting me and staying with me for a bit, and then..... (ooh in the dream that is, not reality) OK, well, I was sat in my room , but it was smaller and the duvet was red. And then these two women walked in, one OLD and one about 40-ish. They were carrying a bag full of cuddly toys. And then the old one says to me "not a lot out for a trip is there?" And I have no idea what she's on about! So I go, , "um, sorry?" And she goes "My ****, he's coing to yours and you're going to Lytham aren't you?" So I think, 'Oooh heck, what's **** been saying to his mum? he's staying with me not going to Lytham! Shit I'm going to have to cover up for something here...um', so I say "well, lythams only a few miles away y'know so yo won't have to take a lot there for a trip" She goes, "ok, yes..." and walks out with this other woman. So i'm sat there wondering what in the world has **** said to his mother, when I hear a voice from the next room. I go next door, and **** (well, wat I imagin **** to look like as I've never met him) was sat at the pooter wearing a red sweater, going "So what'd the old bat say and then he smiled....and then I woke up!!! I usually have better dreams. Hmmm. I could have a lovely dream about Stuart Murdoch, he could just smile and call me pretty.... never happen will it I should get a life. I'm going to leave you with proof of how sad I am. Me and my friend were so bored we were siniging the theme from Countdown mixed up with other popular 'beat' songs. All I can remeber is "Countdown - repeat after me fuck queen and country mix" "Countdown-The red basset hound mix" and the "Countdown-backpain and arthiritis-do you suffer mix". I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!! Yours faithfully, the beautiful only slightly homicidal Sarah "Sounds off the wall I know, but consider this.

Hello list! I never post but as I've had my first Belle+Sebastian related dream, I feel that I must. It wasn't terribly in depth, but I fondly remember going into a record shop and looking up Belle+Sebastian and to my amazement saw all of the Belle +Sebastian releases in shiny new wrappings on shiny black vinyl(even Tigermilk!!) at really low prices. I also dreamed that I had a lot of money(what a lovely dream that is) and just scooped them all up and bought every one of them. It was great!!!! I also thought I'd share that I have done my best to play Belle+Sebastian in all sorts of places around town and spread the happy plague to all around. I even listened to them as I went into surgery. The last song I recall hearing before being drugged into oblivion was "The Fox in The Snow", one of my personal favourites. I also thought I'd comment that I've even heard them in a topless bar where a girl was dancing to them. One night I tipped the bartender to play the whole cd and people were asking who it was and writing down their name. Isn't that lovely?

Sinister: well I say it was nothing............

Hey list. Someone was saying that emails are difficult to comprehend properly because they are so faceless. I mean for example, I know when you all have a go at me you are only joking and that you love me really :) This is what I use in my mails to suggest sarcasm ~ Why ~? Well it is to do with Blackadder. Blackadder as I am sure the Brits will know is the most sarcastic person on the planet. Adder = Snake and my little symbol sort of looks like a snake y'see? Also for some strange reason it just looks like a sarcastic symbol Anyone agree? Can anyone think of any more to use. I think it will just generally help communication on the list.

Sinister: Everybody thought it was a shame for Belle and the boy Sebastian
by Sarah 07 Feb '98

07 Feb '98

well....heeelllloooooo ;) Oooohh, the 4th May.....I can't go to the pique-nique. I'm still at college methinks. And so should all the students be methinks. OOh hang on it might be a holiday, 'cos like May Day *is* a holiday, I'll go look in my 'Cardinal newman College Diary' (trendy!). Aaah. Apparently there we have one day off I think, stoopid thing aint clear. Oooh, still don't think I'll be able to make it 'cos it is very expensive for me to come all the way down to london and then head back same day, and I'll have to worry about time and stuff AND my Spanish GCSE (why why why did I think I could do it in a year....help! no se sabe el espanol por HELP! nooo! I'm crap!)....so, um, anyway, lucky you is missing out on me. And other 6th form people and perhaps students too. :( Can we not have it in the holidays sometime when we are all more free? And the longest day is WAAAY the best idea to have the picnic on! AND MY BIRTHDAY TOO!!! Please please please can we have an ace picnic in june 21st please, or else i will end up like every other year, alone in my room thinking ho hum, another day closer to the future which has just arrived and is yet to come or something like that. Yes, I will do the guilt trip thing, but I don't expect it to work so never mind... Oh, now it looks like theres MORe than one, in Scotland and London. Oooh, both hrd to get to but I shall try to at least come to one....don't worry I will go hide in the corner and shut up when you have had enough of me going on about shit. :) Yikes, another digest to run through and reply 'cos it is just not in my nature to leave things alone.... Oooh, Northy.....capitalist society refers to the way that people always want money for something. I wasn't saying richer people are evil I was saying that our society is run on the quest for better and better posessions, which need more and more money, te more money they (in my case the record shop) can get, the better for them but nasty for me, cos now its Saturday and I can't afford to pay the 4.99 that the Spiritulized single will be on Monday. I repeat, capitalism can't be the best way. Surely people with any sense know that our way of thinking is rubbish, but the thing is HOW to change it. Can we? Its....a whole... oh. I have just seen a message from Paul saying not to write about this. OK. STOP!!!! Sarah skids to a halt outside the houses of commons with the spraypaint in hand and goes home being a good quiet Sinisterine. :) I wonder if theres a political ranting mailing list. supose so but I have enough of that from my two socialist friends (ok so one is a friend the other is cruel.) with the socialist worker everyday. I like being a Sinisterine. I sound like I'm in a girl group. (then again it alos does sound a tad like Listerine as well....)yeah! There could be me, Geniveve, Katrina could be our record company person, Laurel, Megan and what say you Julia?? Lets go! WE can have big hair and do the dances and stuff! Oh, don't want to discriminate, any men with nice legs and big hair can join in the tea party too. snow patrol......ooh. i want to hear them too now. but i hate listening to steve latwat on radio 1. he's nasty. Yikes! a B&S song on a soundtrack and then as single! aaaah! bands who do that usually get reeeeally famous-ish kinda don't they! B&S in the top ten....HELP! reactions to that.....go on i dare you... I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!!
