Perhaps this problem would be solved if we had two mailing lists. One strictly for any Belle & Sebastian news, reviews, rumours etc and the other to be used for the other stuff we seem to chat about here. Then each of us can choose to subscribe only to the first list or to both. People who want to keep up with whats happening in B&S world, but don't like wading through the hundreds of other emails will just want to subscribe to the first. The rest of us can be free to write what we want on the other. What does everybody else think? It's only a suggestion. Please, don't get mad at me if you don't like the idea. Cheers, JohnS. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

>galaxy......"Mister Boom, if you were a pizza, what flavour pizza would you >be?"...... About five fragrant minutes later Sonic spoke...."That's >a.....stupid question." End of interview. End of fanzine. End of enthusiasm. >I do like Sonic Boom though. Very entertaining fellow, should be on all the >chat shows. There was a guy who me and some friends once almost went to see years ago, as there were posters around Edinburgh for "Mr.Boom's Band", which one of my mates pointed out could be a secret gig by the Spacemen, it's really just as well we didn't 'cause I saw a poster for the guy last week in the chippy and it turns out he's an all-singing all-dancing one man band clown who does kids parties and stuff, oh well, so much for secret Spacemen gigs in Edinburgh. Strangely enough this tied in with the fact that after a very long time, I finally managed to procure a copy of "Playing with Fire" on CD this weekend... Which was nice.

Sinister: A Beautiful Christmas Present
by Dawn 03 Feb '98

03 Feb '98

While I'm on a roll, I just want to share one of my lovely Christmas presents from my boyfriend (I know Christmas was ages ago, but it's been the holidays). The sweetie coloured copied the sleeves from "If you're feeling..." and the 12"'s, mounted them on a white background, and clipped see-through glassy stuff on top, like a posh poster! It's probably the nicest thing that anyone has ever given me... (Chorus of aaahs, please!) Dawn x ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Dodgy Messages & Picnics
by Dawn 03 Feb '98

03 Feb '98

>From: owner-sinister(a)majordomo.net >Date: Tue, 3 Feb 1998 12:06:10 GMT >Apparently-To: sinister-outgoing(a)ph.ed.ac.uk > > Is anybody else getting strange little mails like the one above, which does not actually say anything? Why? Help? On to what Katrina was suggesting about lovely picnics... They are a fantastic idea, I can back her up by saying how much fun those Going Underground picnics were, and I'm sure the other London-based listees will agree. It is just great to spend a day pretending to be twelve again, and there is always a great big ghettoblaster, that will undoubtedly fill our ears with B&S, and you can sing as loud as you like, and nobody laughs....

OH and.....see I sometimes voice my opinions on walls...at school and write all little weird thigns and poems and songs,and under the Belle and Sebastian songs that I wrote, my fellow wall artists wrote back their appreciationne! ...We're gonna make it after all... love love Genevieve ;) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

> Or The Cardigans! (Hmmm ... should have another listing to their cover of > Thin Lizzy's The Boys are Back in Town when I get back home) No, no, no, for God, NO!!!!! I HATE Nina's Voice! It's so boring, I really hate it. Belle is TOO perfect for that. Sorry, don't take it personally, but it's just that thinking about it made me horrified. One of the bands I love the most in this world beign covered by one I detest...it sounds frightening... :o/ Fabiana ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Blank emails
by Honey 03 Feb '98

03 Feb '98

The mailing list is feeling sinister - sorry but one of my servers filled up so some of you didn't get to send emails and the rest of you got them blank. All fixed now hopefully but a few more may dribble through. May I say in particular how incredibly impressed I am you didn't all bombard the list with "why?"'s but mailed me direct. Thanks to all who did, sorry I was asleep or doing my homework. I'm still trying to get my head round the Tigermilk-Honeybar connection.

Sinister: goodnes gracious me!
by Sarah 03 Feb '98

03 Feb '98

Oh Andre, I love the Gift Velvet underground song too! I think its one of the greatest things they've done, especially his completely matter of fact tone the whole way through it! Then again, it may just be my nasty sense of yumor that finds the killing of Waldo slightly funny in a very black humour way....heeehee. S'a great album is that. Velvet Underground and Nico is good too, Venus In Furs apparenlty was used for an advert, but which one? I've been trying to think and I just can't. And I must tell YOU ALL to buy the Spiritualized single 'Think I'm in Love' on Feb 2nd onwards cos its so great! Especially when he starts listing all these things... like 'think i'm in love, probably just hungry' 'think i'm on fire, probably just smoking 'think i'm the life and soul, probably just snorting', and the music just peaks out and stays on this amazing beautiful strand the whole way through, and its devotional! Even though apparently they are very arrogant pop-starr-y and insist on eating at McDonalds, christ, I try to avoid there at any time never mind in bloody Greece. Sorry this may only make sense to one person on the list, but for crying out loud, McDonalds! yes, I'll have a nice McVomit burger with some McCapitalist shit catsup (that word is so daft, catsup! its KETCHUP! which i spose is even sillier but hey...) and some stomach ulcers.....yuk! And Spiritualized JUST happen to be playing Manchester on the 14 march! Wow, isn't that great! *hints* :o) And i again have nothing to say. I wrote a load of poo hahaa! I'm cracking up! I hate Sundays really I DO! THey are so evil. And I got an email today from a certin someone who slagged off <<Beautiful>> (NO!) so I have issued the death threats and am fetching the blood stained baseball bat from the garage now. I want to smash things up but theres nothing to smash and things I can smash aren't mine. arse. Guess I'll just have to smash his face in then. La la laaa etc! I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!! Yours faithfully, the beautiful only slightly homocidal Sarah BLOKE :"How about we....skip desert tonight...." BIRD :"Why! What else...do you have in mind!" BLOKE :"Nothing. Its just that you're a bit fat already innit?" SHE LEAVES BLOKE :"Check please." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
