I think that could happen...in an alternate universe where everything is complete PANTS, maybe! Egad! Perhaps Stuart et al will suddenly change their personalities completely and become media whores of the first order. Does this sound likely to anyone? No. Besides, the thought of Evans listening to anything so beautiful is really bizarre.

Sinister: Begging Bowl
by Ruth McCurry 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

Is there any way that one of you nice people could make me a tape of any radio sessions, demos, live bootlegs that you might have? I have all the records but in the absence of anything new I'm developing a serious craving for more. The only unreleased thing I have is Seymour Stein, which I managed to tape off the radio on a rare occasion when my tuner was working properly. I can't offer a great deal in return. I have an embarrassingly large collection of jangly 80s cack, so maybe if there's anything in that line that some of you would like to have on tape, you could let me know? Perhaps you could e-mail me so as not to bore people on the list? It looks like I'm called Ruth, but really I'm not. Lots of love, DAVID ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Judy
by Adrian Evans 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

Every buggers having B&S related dreams.....snot fair. As an insomniac the dreams are obviously few and far between. Can anyone please advise me what substances they take in the hours leading up to their retirement ? Most ordinary people would have dreams a few seconds before waking up in the morning. Nay me. After a bizarre concoction of both legal and slightly-less-than-legal substances last night (taken to get me through the footie one will understand) it was no surprise to me that I was out-like-a-light as soon as my head hit the pillow. However, this success was short lived. Within seconds of me marching into the dream arena I was bolt upright in terror after being chased by GIANT LEGO MEN (Me thinks Lego is universal). Maybe under normal circumstances this wouldn't be so peculiar (then again), but for the fact that these lego men were of no single colour bricks. This is just so unlike me. I wouldn't go to the extent of organising a cd collection in alphabetical order, but when building giant Lego men, using the same colour bricks is of upmost importance. Anyone got any ideas ? Adey-the-suit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Re: Sinister: NB&SC: Future Bible Hereos
by Junior/Fabiana 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

At the start, Magnetic Fields had a female singer, called Susan Anway. She is the voice in their two first albuns (which were later released in one single CD): "Distant Plastic Trees" and "The Wayward Bus". Then she left the band and went back to her city (and I just can't remember the name of the place). So, the first and only supreme genious of humanity, Stephin Merrit, the guy who wrote the most perfect song a human beign has ever dreamt to create ("Born on a Train", from 'The Charm of the Highway Strip') started singing with that MARVELLOUS voice that you can also listen in Future Bible Heroes and The Gothic Archies (he has another band, The 6ths, but I don't know it yet). As I always say, everybody in this world should listen "When You Were My Baby" at least once in life. Then this would be - for sure - a much better world to live on... :o) Fabiana ---------- > De: Andrew Hung Nguyen <andrewn(a)ea.oac.uci.edu> > Para: Belle and Sebastian <sinister(a)majordomo.net> > Assunto: Sinister: NB&SC: Future Bible Hereos > Data: Segunda-feira, 2 de Março de 1998 15:27 > > Hey all, > I know a good portion of the list likes the Magnetic Fields so you > can probably help me.

Sinister: Ultrasound
by northy 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

OK I am really, really sorry but I saw Ultrasound at Conway Hall in London and it was absolutely fantastic. Believe me if you've bought "Best Wishes" then it just doesn't do justice to the live experience. Anyone from the list go? bye Northy ______________________________________________________ "Everyday, when I wake up, I thank the Lord I'm Welsh" Cerys Matthews - 1998 ________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Is Stuart Murdoch a pooftahsexual?

As a gay adolescent I certainly hunted for any 'clues' that, yes, "my god, could it be? someone I admire is a bit like me!" - Teen queers need role models, but ambiguity works just as well. Stuart will be just that role model for a few 'kids', if only for Seeing Other People alone. I interviewed Dickon from Orlando a year or so ago and he was playing the same "am I/aren't I? Well, I really don't know...." game and, although it was frustrating at the time (as in one wanted to slap him and shout "Morrissey was SO last season!"), there's a legitimate benefit from doing so, on both sides of the fence. Without wishing to quote the hackney-ed old Manics thing of "All rock and roll is homosexual", or quoting Nirvana sleeve notes (both of which I've just done to a degree), "queer" is an ANGLE. Considering that most pop stars are as dull as Dion in an interview scenario, the "I once saw a bloke and thought yeah, maybe" line is headline news (witness recent headlines to that effect about Robbie Williams and Chris "yeah, right!" Evans"). If B&S want to dispel such aspertions, all they have to do is deny them. But they won't. And why should they. It's a LARF, innit? EH??! Stephen. PS I really admire and respect Madonna for the way she's got where she is today. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Murdoch On Felt
by Honey 02 Mar '98

02 Mar '98

Stuart Murdoch is interviewing Lawrence from Felt in a few weeks and has asked me to direct any of you who might have Lawrencesque questions re. Felt to send him an email. The band are as ever at belleandsebastian(a)classic.msn.com Questions about what kind of a pizza Lawrence would be if he had to be one will, I suspect, not get past the starting post. On the subject, it looks like the band aren't going to respond in email to the questions a few of you set them and I sent on, probably because the Archangel Gabriel couldn't respond to some of them without resorting to violence. Stuart says he'd rather do it on the day of the chat so get your software ready. There's suddenly 510 people on this list, a staggering influx bearing in mind we all talk crap. Welcome to the new people and sometime let us know why you put up with us all and stick around. Please don't be afraid to pipe up if you're new. A reminder to newcomers to pop in to my site and have a browse through the guide for using the mailing list at http://www.majordomo.net/sinister along with an ever increasing number of baby pictures, and that there is a set of Frequently Asked Questions now for Belle and Sebastian themselves at http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/faq/faq.htm on the Fan Club site. Also, for those new boys and girls who want to ask a question but aren't sure if everyone will groan (if they do I slam a ruler down on their desks and tell them to not picking their noses), please remember there is a SEARCH facility for ALL the postings that have ever been sent to this list at my site.

andrew n. saw magnetic fields play on saturday. it was beautiful. suggestions if you like future bible heroes: the 6th's (another s.m. project, great songs.) any magnetic fields gothic archies the male voice (steve's) do grow on you. i suggest getting the 6th cd. all the vocals are guests. portastatic, air miami, sunshower. the nice thing about the show sat. is that there were no synths & they did some songs from the 6th's. future bible heros are playing in boston soon. can you make it? andy(3) my art/home page is just a click away: http://www.angelfire.com/fl/aeshome/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
