Sinister: Sound-alikes
by Mark Hester 12 Mar '98

12 Mar '98

Re the comments about the likelihood of being the only person to think "Sleep the Clock Around" sounds like a Stereolab song and david's response about B&S sound like B&S. It is somewhat strange to take exception to people commenting on one band sounding like another because it is a pretty harmless and occasionally even helpful activity. We all pick up little bits of the tunes we love in unexpected places. I was quite surprised to see Stereolab mentioned as being one of the groups influenced by Suicide in the Guardian, for example. 'if You're Feeling Sinister' the song, not the whole album, sounds like Love Is In the Air at least the bass does. Now I happen to think IYFS is far and away the better song, in fact LIINA is tosh, but I can still hear the similarity. Mark. (he of the quite sensibly boring sig file!

Sinister: chat countdown
by David & Katrina 12 Mar '98

12 Mar '98

as a few people were confused as to when the chat starts this afternoon, i''ve set up a countdown to see us through the last few hours and clear up the EST, GMT, BST, US time problem to view the countdown either go directly to: http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/cgi-bin/countdown.pl or follow the link from the fan club site. david PS: i havn't been able to check this, so if it returns your time instead of mine please let me know, as this means it's reading the wrong clock and may be showing an incorrect countdown. if it's showing a time different to yours (providing you outside the UK time-zone) then it's working fine! -- ******************************************************************** Belle and Sebastian Fan Club merchandise, mail-outs, chat, lyrics, poetry, fiction http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/ mailto:bluesoda@totalweb.co.uk ******************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: One chat no-show, right here
by Reid Dossinger 12 Mar '98

12 Mar '98

An ignorant question if you don't mind... I don't really have much patience for on-line chats...is there a chance of someone writing up a "re-print" of the chat for those of us who don't feel like (or can't) be involved in the chat, but still want to get the full story? And if your answer is something along the lines of, "If you can't be bothered to come to the chat, then you don't get the goods!"...well, just keep it to yourself. And while I'm at it...Does anyone know what the title and running order of the US compilation of the EP's will be? Are they just going to throw on the songs in order of release, or are they going to mix it up and give it a creative title, Louder Than Bombs-style? I vote for the latter. And are there any other US Sinisterines agonizing over whether or not they will buy the compilation even though they shelled out 30 bucks for all three EP's? And am I the only one who thinks that "Sleep the Clock Around" sounds VERY much like a Stereolab song? ~Chelsea Reid (pornstar name, although it doesn't sound very sexy. Moviestar name, maybe?) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Totally B&S Related
by Richard Lander 12 Mar '98

12 Mar '98

So maybe no new records until July and only the picnic to look forward to in the near future. Need something to talk about the band rather than rehashing the Tigermilk reissue and what 'La Pastie...' means debates. So how about this. Can anyone provide a gig list of the band, you know where they appeared, when etc.

Sinister: rise and shine, it's almost chat time!
by Brian Gainey 12 Mar '98

12 Mar '98

hey, i'm really excited and all to see what is said by those we adore so, but next time don't you think it would be _really_ great to do it a little later in the afternoon so us kids in san francisco and other far off places don't have to roll straight out of bed and onto our terminals. don't get me wrong, i'm still five times as excited about it actually happening than i am grumpy about getting up at a wrong hour. hold on kids! here we go..... see y'all in the morning. brian ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re: sinister-digest V2 #99
by Suzanne Schroeder 12 Mar '98

> Hello, > My name is Shawn and I am a huge Morrissey from Vancouver, B.C., Canada Good. I'm sick of tiny Morrisseys running around causing problems in this place. > I looked briefly at the last digest on the Sinister site, and noticed > what seems to be a discussion about the lead guys sexuality based upon a > couple songs, my question is: Does the lyric "My brother confessed that > he was gay/ It took the heat off me for a while" imply that the speaker > is gay? What is he trying to avoid people finding out about him? (BTW > boys I'm single ;) ) Also, what's with the stuff about "...I was moved > to kick the crutches/ from my crippled friend"? An act of violence? Or > an act of charity considering that he next seems to suggest that he > somehow healed this friend? (OK I just confused myself) i hang out in Moz newsgroups, and if you even THINK about bringing the gay debate in here..... hell, no offense, but I guess even if i was in a newsgroup about toaster ovens, someone would ask if Amanas were gay. s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
