Sinister: someone's gonna get killed
by mkl206＠is8.nyu.edu 27 Mar '98

27 Mar '98

once again, i make use of the song i'm listening to to pick a topic. don't worry, not feeling unduly homicidal today, i just thought you lot would be missing my charming posts. and yes, they *are* charming dammit! anyway, first off i've got some ink polaroids: *this one's a little dark cause it was taken at the ivy show last night and the lighting wasn't very good. the three of us in the foreground and laurel, michele and myself. laurel and michele have just met and are speaking rather animatedly. i'm motioning off to the side for brian to come over. he's sitting in the corner, talking to heidi (his roommate who isn't on the list). i'm trying to get him to meet michele, though he's never spoken to him in chat. *here's a picture of me and laurel and ben. ben is looking fairly animated cause he's talking with the "lads" about "football" at a "pub". laurel and i are kind of bored off in the corner, and trying to amuse one another with fascinating tidbits. we're so close to one another cause there weren't enough chairs, and we're sharing one. she's also sort of sharing with ben, so it's pretty squishy. you may notice that our nails are painted the same sparkly blue. that's cause we were at my room earlier and gossiping and painting our nails. we both wanted the same polish, so we match. *the last picture for today is taken at the time cafe. brian, john (another intern) and i were working. john's the goth boy next to me who laurel said was too cool, but he's really just a sillyhead like us. laurel and ben are off to the side. we're all sort of falling over the table, especially me cause it's been a rough first day after spring break. the mostly empty plates are the remains of our dinner, which laurel is sort of eating off of cause she's really going to eat with ben, but sort of hungry right now. laurel, ben, and john are giving a knowing smile cause brian and i are bickering across the table as usual. but we all look rather amused with the whole situation. so that will have to satisfy for now. however, there are upcoming meetings with rach and dina this weekend, so you lot will be favored with more charming polaroids as the listees begin to come together. also, about all this bitching, i dont' see the point. paul is a wonderful list owner, and a lovely honey and we should all send him kisses by express mail. for no particular reason, just cause he's such a cutiepie (as amanda will surely verify with "proof" soon) and it's always fun to send letters. and of course the list will get bitchy at times, there are over 500 people, and some are bound to be poopieheads. but when i think of all the loverly, marvelous people here, i get all happy. plus i know how to use my delete button and do, often. sure some postings are dull to some people, i particularly don't care at all for music history, but oh well. there are plenty of lovely posts from the known posters whose writings i look for, and others by new listees who are quite amusing. so really, i don't see the point of worrying. oh, one more thing, i expect more ink polaroids of the kids meeting up in london this weekend!!! and for those listees who are new or a little shy, please post and come to the meet ups. they're happening all over the world (on two continents at least) and i know that we aren't cliquish people and always ready to meet new and lovely belle and sebastian fans! xox megan mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu visit the magnetic fields web page at: http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

RIGHT ON SARAH!!! As long as there are people who believe they can change the world in a positive way and take some action to do so -- whether you agree with their stand or not -- then here is hope for us all. Trite perhaps, but true. -- michele "Do something pretty while you can..." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: The heat is On.
by Adrian Evans 27 Mar '98

27 Mar '98

Jeezlaweez.. I cannae believe some of the shit I've just read on the last couple of digests. Perhaps a method of lessening the tension on the list and a new direction of conversation would be for listees to mail in things that they don't like about themselves rather than slagging others orf. Certainly attacks on people based purely on nationality are both unnecessary and unintelligent. Anyways... >Jon Wren wrote : >God, I'm gonna be a trainee teacher in Exeter from October!

Thank you and good night. You can call us bumpkins...we don't mind my luvver. Well Alistair might mind, he sounds a bit more intelligent than your average Devonian.

Sinister: pulling pud
by bradford 27 Mar '98

27 Mar '98

chris leonard wrote about some guy pulling his pud in the public toilets: i have a friend who used to work as security at the local j.c. penney's. now ever since i was a kid i've gone into the restrooms and seen things scribbled on the walls like "be here at noon on tuesday for a good time" or "3:00 wednesday equals a blowjob"...you know things like that. but i never believed them. until my friend's daily duty became flushing the scribblers out of the restroom on a daily basis. apparently, if you arrive in these toilets at special times on certain days and either stomp your foor twice or clear your throat, you get, shall we say, a special treat from one of your toilet neighbors. and my friend has found polaroids, too. people take the pictures and leave them on the sink for all to see. so, next time you're in a public toilet, clear that throat, or dance a little jig on the sticky floor............or don't. -brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Maybe Northy was right ...
by Katrina House 26 Mar '98

26 Mar '98

Right you lot. I'd really like to have something nice to say, but unfortunately i don't. Paul has done the most fantastic job possible with this list and i think it's an insult to him as to how we are all using it at present. Of course people are going to have differing opinions and of course people are going to want to air said opinions, but we should all do as Paul suggests and "pause for 10 seconds and think of cliff before hitting that send button". I can't say that i am without blame too, but after flaming someone on the list, i received a reply from this person and their original remark ... well, i won't bore you with the details, but needless to say, i felt pretty shit for having a go IN PUBLIC in the first place. I'm bored with the list at the moment. It upsets me as it used to be a source of happiness in my days. Maybe i'll just stick to posting official stuff on the list from now on ... I know this doesn't apply to everyone, but i do hope that those who are abusing this "privilege" get the message. Can we all take a leaf out of Susannah's book ... revenge is sweet, but does not have to be nasty and horrible. Don't get me wrong, i love the current non-b&s topics (fave gigs especially, even though i'm too embarrassed to admit mine), but the flaming and fights just have to stop. I can't be bothered to organise a picnic or tell everone about b&s news if all i'm going to get is grief and a zillion questions demanding info. I 'spose i kind of feel that "the providers" are being used. I don't demand that we (paul, david & myself) be treated with respect, but maybe we should all just be thankful that the band exist and make such beautiful and inspiring music that we use as the soundtrack to our lives. (notable honours must also go to the extra special keepers of the faith andy dean, the duke and wicked susie). oh fuck, am i making any sense? i can't make anybody do anything and i don't mean for any of this to sound like a threat, but things have got to change if you want the list to continue in the way that it has been in the past. that's me finished then :) ohmigod they killed kenny! cheers, Katrina. -- ******************************************************************** jeepster recordings ltd. - jeepster.uk(a)virgin.net 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn ph - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: omigod, i've mentioned b&s!!!
by Alan Prior 26 Mar '98

26 Mar '98

evenin' spacebots... i'm still a wee bit confused about what i can and can't write about here, but i don't think anyone'll get too pissed off with me telling yous about a wierd (slightly) B&S dream i had this morning... ...i was walking down a pink coloured road and at the side was a wee stall selling strawberries and old Shakin' Stevens albums. Isobelle was the person behind the stall and she tried to sell me a copy of 'This Ol' House' (or something) But before i had time to speak to her and ask her why she was only wearing her pants and a Throwing Muses t-shirt, Ming the Merciless (out of Flash Gordon) appeared and started chasing me down the street and into the Glasgow underground. I couldn't get the ticket machine to work and was quite scared... then my cat (Whisky) jumped on me and woke me up, so i don't know what would have happened next. Ah well. hope this didn't stray too much from the path of the righteous and holy belle and sebastian (insert sarky/comedy type symbol here, i don't know what they're all supposed to be...) luv always, Debbie xxx. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Bob's Day and happiness (No B&S content)
by jon g. 26 Mar '98

26 Mar '98

Well, as we're all in the mood for getting jolly and happy, I have to tell you about Bob's Day, which incidentally occurs tomorrow. My friend has this brother who is rather bizarre. Anyway, one day, he made the discovery of Bob's day, in which you send a card or another form of message to the one you love or feel admiration for, and it will brighten up your day. Bob's day occurs every second Friday, and tomorrow is Bob's day. Just in case you haven't picked that up, here's what it says on the back of a Bob's day card: -------------------------------------------- A Note From The Manufacturer -------------------------------------------- It has come to the attention of the manufacturer that it is a complete shag having to wait for Valentine's day until you can send someone a Valentine's card, to let them know they have an admirer. Having realised this fact, the manufacturer has resolved to remedy the unfortunate situation by creating Bob's day, with it's associated cards etc. Bob's day occurs every other Friday, thus meaning that the maximum length of time and admirer should conceivably have to wait in anguish is thirteen days. The manufacturer hopes that this will be an acceptable period of time (in any case, it's better than a year). It is the intention of the manufacturer that Bob's day becomes not only a way to express amorous feelings, but also a novel way to send a message, or to generally brighten up someone's day. The manufacturer hopes that this card has brightened up your day. Well, there you go. Problem solved. jon g. jon.g(a)btinternet.com - http://www.btinternet.com/~jon.g/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
