Three responses, what wonderful people we are !!! I'll have to check out the New Order link tonight, didn't they lose every court case they were involved in !!! I think they must have used the subtle Peter Hook as a solicitor or summat !! I remember the John Denver one now as it was the cause of countless sick jokes following his sad departure from this mortal coil. I'm surprised there aren't more New Ordery people on this list. Obviously these days one has to view them in a different light, but I can't get over the similarities I draw between them and the Belles and the Sebastians. Maybe it is because I was 13 when I started listening to NO and I haven't really felt that way about a band until BS. They just instil that feeling of youth and happiness underlined by the bands obvious carefree attitudes. >Rob B wrote : >> "the streets of london" by "whistling" Roger Whittaker i believe... >> >that's what I thought, but no-one else seems to agree. ol' Rog was great >wasn't he - he's not the type of person you admit you like though... shame In the words of Jeffery Wheeler..."We have a difference of Opinion" (One for Peter Miller).

Do we have to talk about band members sexuality. It's really none of our business. Especially when people are just blindly speculating. I wouldn't like people discussing this sort of thing about me without my permission. Why is it of so much interest anyway? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Picnic (Otherwise known as Peanut LionBar)

06 Mar '98

>David Jeepster Wrote : >thinking that maybe this is a bit too organised for comfort, hardly >smacks of anything to do with belle and sebastian, maybe i should >postpone! (this is humour!) Surely on this basis, we should all meet up in Manchester, play games badly for two days, go away again and then not do a bloody thing for six months. (This is Bitchy ;-o ). Sounds good to me. On the picnic front, I think there should at least be 11 Scottish representatives, so that we can have a forerunner to the England/Scotland World Cup Final that Rod Bigboy mentioned some weeks ago.

Sinister: porn literature
by ELIZABETH DAPLYN 06 Mar '98

06 Mar '98

Bonjour tout le monde! Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. Until this week I had never read any of Bill Bryson's marvellous oevres, which I am very sad about. Never mind, I've read a couple now. Laugh? I nearly swallowed my tongue... Yesterday I got home from college to find a pleasingly chunky envelope sitting on my doormat, addressed to me, yes, to ME! And it had my copies of Little Ink Movies and Ink Polaroids in it! They are truly lovely things, it has to be said. So I was happy then. Stuart David for immediate canonisation now! For he is a genius, oh yes he is. And he's got a "special multimedia box". Anyway, porn names: (with the teddy bear/road one): Attila Mando. Sounds more like a character from Star Trek than a porn person, but there you go; (with the pet/mother's maiden name one): Pip Tate. Not very successful either. Never mind, such is life. I don't think I'm cut out to be a porn star anyway... ByeBye, Liz.

Sinister: Not B&S but Peter, Paul, Mary & Ralph
by Mark Hester 06 Mar '98

'Leaving on a Jet Plane' was Peter, Paul & Mary. Quite a long time pre '77, possibly '67"! Ralph McTell sang Streets of London. I think you must have been to quite a radical school.

Sinister: John Denver/Father Ted
by Martin Conneely 06 Mar '98

06 Mar '98

1. IYFS says that "Hilary went to the Catholic Church because she wanted information The vicar, or whatever" It's a beautifully dismissive way of putting it. But as we all know, it's priest/Father. Which brings me to Father Ted (rather weak B&S link, but better than no B&S content). The latest issue of HOT PRESS (Dublin, Ireland) says that Brian Eno will appear as a priest in the final episode of the final series of Ted. It even shows a photo of him in his clerical togs. Quite a sight. 2. <"One of them was "Leaving on a jet-plane" (Don't laugh you bastards!!), don't ask me :who wrote this 'cos I'm hopeless at anything pre '77. Erm, John Denver...also wrote " Annies song" which makes me go all goose< Although John D wrote it, the "popular" version was by Peter, Paul and Mary (some of whom had different real names!). I remember that the B-side of their version had very good lyrics - if I can still remember after 25 years they must have been.

Sinister: Belle and Sebastian Gigs 1998
by Jeepster Recordings Ltd 06 Mar '98

06 Mar '98

Hi everyone, I have just been speaking to Neil and he has confirmed that Belle and Sebastian will definitely be playing gigs this summer. The dates will probably begin in August and will hopefully encompass gigs in the UK, Europe and America. There may even be gigs in other parts of the world after the summer. As things are confirmed, we'll let you know! Happy day! Cheers, Katrina. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Is this the proof you've been seeking?
by MWaggner 06 Mar '98

06 Mar '98

Was on a cd buying expedition in Manhattan yesterday -- and we had the greatest laugh when we came across this while browsing -- At one cd store, the bin divider for B&S was not one of the regular printed ones with merely the band name. No, it was hand-drawn in pink marker. It noted "Belle & Sebastian" and had flowers and a unicorn drawn on. There was a little guy's face drawn in and he was advising: "We're so gentle and clever," "p.s. I'm gay." Has Stuart's alleged orientation now become a marketing point?!? Or is there a sinisterian having some fun at Kim's on St. Mark's Place? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
