Sinister: remember the times
by Henry 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

hi everyone! i'm new, and being that this is my first time posting- i must stress that i love B&S- but i'm sure you all understand where i'm coming from. anyways- as for songs that i love, yet are unbearable to listen to, i would have to say adorable's "a to fade in" and "breathless" definitely leave me sobbing after each listen- "my second grade poetry, just is not enough to describe you.... i'm scrambling round on the floor, looking for some fresh metaphor, of the words to describe this- just do not exist" In fact that whole album brings back a very strange time of my life- endless memories. bye for now, rebeccajean ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: i'll go and play with words and pictures...
by Alan Prior 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

Message text written by "jon g." >Does anyone remember Pigeon Street? It was a wicked cartoon, but no-one apart from my Mum can remember it. < I think i remember this programme (and i'm not old). But by far and away the best 80's kids TV programme was 'Dungeons & Dragons'. Yous must all remember that, it was dead good. I always wanted to be the red-headed girl, Sheila, cos she had a classy purple cape that made her disappear. I still want one of those. What fun I could have... Also good was the mono-horned skirt-wearing master of evil, Venger. He had a big black horse with wings. All the boys were rubbish, though. I used to play at D&D in my street in Bellshill when I was wee (along with Star Wars and He-Man & She-Ra) Ah, the memories... I've just been listening to the Evening Session (for the first time in ages) and the 'my first gig' thing was The Clash in Edinburgh in Jan. 1980. How classy would that have been? I wish I could have been there then. Okay, so I wasn't born 'till the July of that year, but that's not the point... No one good plays here now. It's dead crap. But I'm moving to Glasgow in September, so yay!!! I just remembered some other sad songs; 'Faded Glamour' by Animals That Swim, cos of the person it reminds me of and the beautiful words; 'The Wild Ones' by Suede; and 'Like Dylan In The Movies' (yay! mentioned B&S) cos of the bit, 'if we all went back to another time, i will love you over...' WOW. But enough of this meaningless blethering. I'll leave you to get on with your sickeningly happy lives, safe in the knowledge that however bad it is for you at the moment, I'm having a worse time... Why did I have to leave this on a bad note? It was all going so well...Ah, well. 'Till tomorrow, spacebots... love and spangles, Debbie xxx. "But you know what your faded glamour does to me...It gets me every time" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: living it
by Bramleys 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

has anyone ever felt like they are in a belle and sebastian song? this has only ever happened to me a few times and it is the most marvellous feeling. it usually happens at school when i feel like, on occasion, a social reject with many problems. but the last time was actually with jon last friday after school. we were in the botanical gardens and i was in my school uniform which seemed to just fit. it was all sunny and pretty and we were on a slapper walk, spotting all the local school slappers, and i felt removed from them, which was nice. i could even ger an ink polaroid out of that. has anyone else? bethey

Re: Sinister: the saddest song
by CA1jawa 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

A most beautiful song that always turns me into an overdramatic, weeping vegetable is "The Downstream" by Ocean Colour Scene. I must avoid hearing it unless I intend on spending a few hours curled up in bed crying. "how does it feel when the world comes on so real and true?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: hello and b&s tales
by Janine Papp 30 Mar '98

30 Mar '98

hello and b&s tales hi all I am new here, this is my first post. I will now share a belle and sebastian moment of sorts: my friend steve keeps calling belle and sebastian "pansy asses" but I listen to them so much that he knows all the songs now, whether he likes it or not. so he keeps mis-quoting them and it's actually pretty funny. one of his faves: "The best looking boys are gay, the best looking girls are out of their minds." Oh but I get back at him because I taught myself all the B&S songs on guitar and I play them to him. so there. oh and sad songs... the entire mojave 3 album "ask me tomorrow" makes me so so so sad that I can not listen to it any more. bye now.

Sinister: seven-to-eight-years-old, that's me

Belle and Sebastian, in a secret and cunning disguise, or actually probably just Stuart Murdoch, because, apart from the fact that she just is a very Belle-and-Sebastiany-type sweet and lovely person, she also, as my best friend recently pointed out, speaks the way they do. Take, for examople that line: who needs boys when there's Lisa around? It's just sooo her. I mean, IT'S HER I TELL YOU, IT'S HER. Meanwhile, John wrote: >> Message text written by ahalter > >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?< >There aren't any songs that have that affect on me but I knew as soon as I'd finished reading "Captain Correlli's Mandolin" that I had never read anything so fantastic and that I could NEVER EVER read it again. I always read books I love over and over but this was so intensely moving, so vivid and glorious and yet tragic at the same time that I can't imagine putting myself through the emotional mangle again. But I'm so >glad to have read it once. Um, Jude the Obscure, don't think i can ever read it again, or see the film either... But, song-wise, i can never, never, never listen to Black-Eyed Dog by Nick Drake. It just has to be the most horrific song ever written. Does anyone else (apart from me an' Steve Maconie) think so too? alrighty, byee Yazz x "She's dying.

Sinister: B+S/pop/Art
by Henry 30 Mar '98

30 Mar '98

(Happy Bob's day) Dear all, OH! I'm so excited I'm going to Paris tomorrow for an architecture field trip ('cos that's what I study). I'm going to take my walkman straight to the top of the Eiffel Tower and play B+S tunes in the sun (because it will be sunny). On the other hand we've got an 'orrible coach journey to get there from Manchester. Although I did get a huge box of 56 packs of Doritos free from a promo yesterday, so I'm not going to starve. On the subject of the maturity of pop music, modern art is similarly young (what's a few decades in 5 Millenia (is that word at all right?)). The sculptor Brancusi said in the 20's "There has not been any Art yet, Art is only just beginning", which I find an inspiring thought. I think its perfectly possible to agree to the second part of that without agreeing to the first part. Now then... We know what music the perfect Sinisterine listens to, we know what poetry he/she reads and what books he has on his bookshelf, and we have a feel for the films he likes, but what kind of house does he live in and what kind of art does he love the most (rustic cottage, Matisse?). What I'm wandering really is does anyone see any links thematically or style-isticly (carnt spel nnow) between B+S and any art or architecture? Loved the welsh pulp fiction thing whoever that was, Bye bye Henry ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

something that i hope a few of you will be interested in; karelia is a band that features Mick Cooke, we saw them in london and thought they were really good. lead singer has beck charecteristics and a great stage presence. it's worth seeing them if you can make it to king tut's in glasgow. anyway, the attached forwarded mail should let you know why i've told you the above. david -- Subject: The Man With The Horn Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1998 14:51:47 +0100 From: Michael Cooke To: d.kitchen(a)virgin.net Hi David! How are you? Love the website by the way. Brilliant; and I'm still finding stuff I haven't found in the site before. Oh, Select have an article: I'll have to check that out. Just writing to say, could you inform the mailing list of a Karelia/ Toaster gig I'm playing, at King Tut's, Glasgow, this Friday night (3rd of April)? We are supporting, so should be onstage about 9pm or so. The Amphetameanies also have gigs coming up, but I'll let you know nearer the time. Thanks a lot.
