Sinister: okay, i'm trying...

um, my first ink polaroid: (ahem) this is a picture that was taken last night. it's kind of dark but that's because the flash on my camera isnt working quite right.. anyway, that's me in the chair with the guitar.. i guess you can tell by the expression on my face that im in a good mood. obviously i am, it was the first time i could play guitar outside in 6 months. do you see that bird on the railing? it's a dove - not a white one - but a dove nonetheless. i named him sebastian. if you look closely you can see belle's tail sticking out from the nest that they built above our porchlight. belle is sebastian's wife and as she warms up their eggs, he sits on the porch railing and keeps me company. last year belle and sebastian's eggs fell from the light and cracked on the cement. it was a very sad sight.. but i think this year they're going to make it. i hope it wasnt too fuzzy for you... teri xoxo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: A nice little story
by Aadaminational Jacobsination 28 Mar '98

28 Mar '98

Hello friends, I just got a job renovating a landlord's apartment. She owns a large building and rents many of the other apartments (flats to y'all UKers). Today while working I heard Yo La Tengo blaring from a neighboring apt. I thought,"cool, someone with some music sense lives here." But in Chicago YLT sell 1000 tickets per show, so it wasn't _that_ exciting or anything. I know plenty of YLT fans. But then I heard _...Sinister_. Well well well, what're the chances of that? So of course I had to meet this person and congradulate them on their musical choices. It was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and she said she wanted me right there on the floor right then. So we made mad passionate love, and by then end of "Judy..." I was back to ripping walls down. Just kidding :) He seems like a nice boy. An out-of-work actor [:P]. I didn't have the opportunity to talk very long (I had to get back to work), but now B&S have made me another friend. I'm amazed how this band can bring people together [who fall in love and get married ;) ]. Toodle-oo Aadam ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Five Fried Fish
by JOSEPH FOSTER 28 Mar '98

28 Mar '98

Just lie back and think of chocalate at easter, It's only a few weeks away. ----------_-------- Has anyone else on the list ever tried one of those computer programme things which help you to focus your future by finding out jobs which suit your personality and good looks? There is useually one or two in the school/collage library. And has anyone else been told that 'sorry but there are are no jobs suitable to you, but there could be if you changed yourself to suit cetain things' ? And two add my two cents into the university debate, I'm 18, and at uni, I love learning but still never do any work. Could there be a way of the government taxing people like me who are lazy bastards but still got in to Univesity? I would probably be a great help to the ecomony. Five Fried Fish. Five Fried Fresh Fish. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: ooo do i love you!
by ahalter 27 Mar '98

27 Mar '98

i have just been able to hear wrong love as my very kind flatmate downloaded realplayer 5 or whatever and now its running through my head a very fitting soundtrack to the mopey kind of afternoon i seem to be having... especially 'im not what i could be/ i need a true love...' the weather here in los angeles has been dodgy at best of late = rainy then sunny nearly every other day and on the rainy days all i want to do is stay in bed and that is what sort of day it is today its tiring... ach! listen to me - nothing but complaining... its just that im feeling rather dreadfully lonesome only i cant be bothered to talk to anyone... i dont know what this is all about too many worries about school and then grad school after that (as i am one who is in school now and not able to get enough of it really enjoying learning and reading about things and almost wishing i had been in longer in university that is because ive still so much to learn and being young i feel dreadfully behind only i know that i am fairly far ahead for someone of my age that being 19 only and nearly finished with my junior year) but im going out dancing tonight and so that promises to possibly entertaining enough to shake me out of this slump... does anyone else hear songs that they absolutely love and yet cannot bear to listen to because the songs make them too sad? and which songs are these? sometimes belle and sebastian makes me feel this way... i think that 'wrong love' could be one of them... my this is long isnt it? i must go away now take care! allison ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Dear All, Geez you guys make me laugh! It never really seemed like the list took such a bad turn,but I hope Sinister always has that same feeling,it does...can't really place it but it is the BEST mailing list I've ever been on,I mean i don't care...strictly information ot the band is alright you know,but it doesn't give that special little mmm mmm kick! I specially dislike mailing lists that are reduced to aruging about old members vs new members...like 'don't have a cow man' you know? THis list is just so funny and sweet and at least the insults are usually good-humored and funny,aw come on yall just wanna give each other a big ol smoooch! I'm happy cos I got my voice back and I got my speech done and oh my,baby it's HOT out there (well warm actually) but it's warm the air is so good..the snow is melting,yes yes YES! Can it be...we can actually wear shorts soon!

I remember I joined this 'Mod List' when i was 13...ack,boy were they ever up their own arses...it got too boring anyways,blah blah my scooter is better then yours...i just remember i went in there all happy and loving and ick.. which brings me to Northy.. is that the REAL Northy saying all that? Why is getting bitter? He used to be such a fun-lovin feller,now he might end up with rickets...you know,not get enough sunshine? I don't wanna hear any 19yearolds and upwards wanting to be 15 again,you guys ARE still just young thangs anyways yet you get to do things legally..you get to go to concerts,you don't have to wait out on curb with the man who talks to the branches (and not in a nice poetic way!)and don't have to deal with big M. >Date: Thu, 26 Mar 1998 17:45:32 -0500 >From: vlass(a)interlog.com >Subject: Sinister: half-japanese? > >since everyone is mentioning first shows.. well, uh, my first real concert >was when i was in grade 3. i saw tiffany and the new kids on the block at >canada's wonderland (which is an amusement park with roller coasters and >fake mountains and stuff). i just wanted to see tiffany but i didnt know who >nkotb was. ack. have i revealed too much about myself? me too..i'd nevre heard of em and i was never attracted to them either,i thought soemthign was wrong with me...same with Leo dicaprio..no no...i don't care what you say,Welsh boys are lurrrrvely,rather be stuck on desert island with them than leo...i don't hear the japanese accent by the way,i always hear the scot accent...little bits stronger than others.. "hillary went to the catholic church" hee hee!! the first concert i ever saw i was snuck in by a tour manager (he called me his 'petit bonbon' :)) was Suede (sigh) but i only saw 2 songs before Beardo threw me out....does that count as first concert?Well actually i saw classical ones in the park when i was little but i don't remember so it doesn't count..jsut remember the big lady with the harp... la la la!! xoxoxo Genevieve i don't like kevin bacon but i love kevin spacey ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: opinions
by ANTONIO ZUQUETE 27 Mar '98

27 Mar '98

Hey Chris... I don´t want to belabour the point but... to someone who likes B&S your scornful words towards Trembling Blue Stars seem strange and a bit contradictory. Anyway, I respect your opinion but HOW COULD I AGREE ? take care, Pedro . ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: arrogance

Does anyone know why are British bands (not all, of course) so impossibly arrogant ? ( oasis, travis, ocean colour scene, blur ... ).

Sinister: duke has this effect on me....
by Sarah 27 Mar '98

27 Mar '98

hey hey, me again! ok so my last 2 posts showed up on the digest in the wrong order...i hate email stuff...grr... da dooke wrote... <<Confront yourself, more than anything, and that's what Pop should do. That's what art does... remember, the art, be it a painting, a song, a pome, whatever, will say more about yourself than anything else.>> making this relevant to belle and sebastian, i've got to say something here. i perhaps pull myself apart, confront and pick at myself as much as i can. and may i tell you lot that its bloody tiring. maybe not when you have a good job, qualifications and relationships, but when you aint, conforntation takes over you life, and SO EAsILY turns into self- hate/self obsession. Belle and Sebastian make me feel better about myself. It seems to me that their role is NOT to confront. They make "gentle pop songs" direct quote from SD there. they fill me with joy, and magic, and love and make me want to hop about the room, and SMILE and fucking FORGET the confrontational hate of the rest of the day. POP. POP can also confront. POP comes in many different ideals if we want to put it that way. Likesay, the manics, B&S, Dexys, Aqua, Wu-effing0Tang, are all POP in whichever way you want to take them, its a personal thing. POP is the most personal thing a person (ok, me) has, and THAT is why it means so much to me. i know, i am a sad bastard. <<Maybe this is truly the problem here; that generations younger than mine are interested not in pulling away the layers and making judgement themselves, but are intent only on the surface, the appearance.>> listen. ok, you are generalising, and there are a lot of twats exactly like that. but not all. trying to make this relevant to B&S again, what layers are there to peel away about B&S, apart from the mulitiple layers of intrigue??? watcha see is watcha get really with them as a BAND, as product and us as consumers. the PROCESS da dook seems to go on about, will be found out about ONLY IF THE PEOPLE LIKE THE BAND finding out about PROCESS follows PRODUCT. that is personally why *i* believeimage is important. B&S's non-image....i like.....but i do not see them being held up to millions. and i don't want them to. so sue me, i am writing myself into a corner. <<The NME act all indignant one week, and the next, it's back to free posters of Popstars and playing the newlabour game of threat free media. It's laughable, but it's painful...>> Yes, wasn't the poster of the Manics nice? I liked that one. I bought the NME for it. The NME is a BUSINESS. It is after making MONEY. Those prints gaurenteed most Manics fans would buy it. the duke seems to imply the papers are SCUm, like all meeja of course, but the new labour article WAS there, there was a full letters page devoted to it in the next issue, people HAVE paid attention. and the NME seems to survive. has it occured to you that the posters were a SELLING POINT? the paper hsa just put its priceup, and needs extra incentive for purchasing, hence free CD and prints. PROMOTIONS. flip, business studies classes are all floooowing back to me..... god, i bet i'll look back on this and wince when i'm in an office...with a suit ...and tie....milking da system..... i'd rather puke. trust me kids, its fun *thumbs up* I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!
