Not all b+s graffiti is in their favour, like this spotted in the male toilets of Bar Blue by Kelvinbridge underground, Glasgow: What's so belle about Sebastian? Shocking!

Sinister: about Air/Etienne De Crecy
by John Jackson 22 Apr '98

22 Apr '98

Oi! I'm still at home today for I cannot get to work, my car is at the Doctors with lack of rear brakes. Shattered drums, as Johnny Hates Jazz may have sung once. Anyway I wanted to know if anyone on this list had heard the Etienne de Crecy mix of Air's Sexy Boy...it is just beautiful....spine tingling etc sonic cathedrals and so on. Can someone recommend me a starting place for Mr de Crecy? It seems I'm going to like his stuff as he wrote most of the tracks on Premiers Symptomes with Air.... Thankyou all JJ xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: the belle and sebastain series
by tinystar＠worldy.com 22 Apr '98

22 Apr '98

> Any London-based members of the SINISTER PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB? Maybe we >should elect officers and such. So far our members include Jessica from >Toronto and Elizabeth from the UK. And me. And I think Geneveive. Oh- >Jessica and Elizabeth! Just like the Wakefield twins in the popular >Sweet Valley series... I thought the Wakefield twins would have been so cool if only they were a little more twee. Like, if Jessica would cut her hair short (like mine, spiky and fuzzy at the same time), and Elizabeth should have had a bob, and worn Hello, Kitty teeshirts and played an instrument in her room. And they should have published their own zine, or something, I seem to recall a story involving some scandal in the school newspaper. Oh, if only the literary Jessica had been a little cooler, more avant garde or something, I would have been thrilled to share her name. Everyone on the list should undertake the project of writing at least one story in the series of 'Belle and Sebastian', which could later be assembled into a collection. I'm sure everyone has a slightly different interpretation of Belle or Sebastian, and their activities and their relationships and encounters. We could create a Nancy Drew-ish scandal, have different people write the books and pass them off as one author. I'm sure it would cause quite a stir when the truth came out. If it came out... truly, jessicaxo ***************************************************************** Someone had spied on us, I suppose, as we sat beside the canal and ate the sandwiches, drinking not even orangeade or Coca-Cola but hot milk out of a thermos. **************************************************************** t i n y s t a r @ w o r l d y . c o m ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

>p.s - the weather is starting to be consistently nice... maybe we should try >to really organize a toronto-area sinister picnic? i remember elisa had a >great plan for the day and that there were people interested ie, lucas, >christina from buffalo... jessica, you're from toronto, right? oh.. and >genevieve when is your school coming down? hmmm, i'll make brownies! The prospect of a Toronto picnic is thrilling! I make a mean macaroni and cheese, who knows where we could meet (not at my house, sadly, because I live with my mum and she wouldn't be pleased if an army of pop goons converged on my home and started singing sings and playing BelleandSebastianopoly), but if there is fun to be had then I will be there. Especially if it's of a B+S sort. And if anyone is inclined to fly in from wherever they are to join our picnic, do feel free. truly, jessicaxo ps. Yup, I'm in Toronto...is Genvieve in Montreal? Who would like a Toronto picnic? Post your names so I can psych myself up. ***************************************************************** Someone had spied on us, I suppose, as we sat beside the canal and ate the sandwiches, drinking not even orangeade or Coca-Cola but hot milk out of a thermos. **************************************************************** t i n y s t a r @ w o r l d y . c o m ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: band
by Henry 21 Apr '98

21 Apr '98

Okay, the sun is a chicken, you win. flutes and photography are some of my favorite things tra la la, can I play my tin whistle in the marching band? unfortunately some cunt type friend of mine dipped it in that stuff that you put on your fingernails to stop you biting them, it soaked into the wooden part, and I can taste that stuff even now when I play it, but hum. love to all, Henry. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: my story/joke
by Janine Papp 21 Apr '98

21 Apr '98

my story/joke hi everyone, earlier today I posted what I thought was a nice, amusing story to share about how I like B&S and am hoping to get a copy of tigermilk from a friend of mine and how I keep bugging him to give me a copy. Well someone on this list forwarded him the email and now he's mad at me because he thinks he's going to get hundreds of emails asking him for tigermilk, etc. I made a JOKE about everyone assaulting him with phone calls or email but I did NOT identify him - I used only his first name and I didn't say what city I live in, etc. and I certainly didn't give out his phone or email - but if you think you know him, and obviously some of you do, make sure that you just keep it to yourself as a little in joke, please. Thanks, Janine Mute 140 W. 22nd St. #10-A New York NY 10011 mute(a)mute.comfax: 212 255 6056 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Strap Your Cock Around
by David Moore 21 Apr '98

21 Apr '98

Hi Left Handed Ones Arab Strap's new album, Philophobia, has the following names amongst its guest musicians: Stuart Murdoch (piano), Chris Geddes (Wurlitzer & Hammond Organ) and Sarah Martin (violin) who play on the second track, Soaps. (Chris also plays on the first.) As to the album, its more interesting than the first, but to me a bit disappointing compared to seeing them live where the addition of a rhythm section makes for a more meaty sound than just the two boys and the beat box. Also, somehow I suspect that they didn't pause and think of Sir Cliff before committing some of the lyrics to paper/CD! That sounds more damning than I meant it to be - I like it really!

Sinister: being a rebel is fine, but.....
by Tara Widmer 21 Apr '98

21 Apr '98

Hello to all, Hello and thanks very much to everyone who recently sent in the Belle interviews/reviews misc stuff yadda yadda... i love you all but can i just say how frustrating it is when someone posts "Belle and Sebastian are in Spin! Bye!" with no elaboration?? so anyway big CHEERS to all who went that extra mile and transcribed the bloody thing (genevieve for doing so twice i think!) That said, here's a review NME have of a band called Spraydog: "Great band name, fab song title, cool label title, nice sleeve artwork. Everything about Spraydog is groovy. Except the music. The music is, to be frank, nimby-pimply, generic lo-fi, no-balls, zero-imagination, sans talent, soppy-swot dog shit. Almost as crap, in fact, as Belle & Sebastian. No, really. "" oh hoh ho hehehe... admittedly their reviews are good for a chuckle, in spite of (or because of?) their procilivity to randomly mention other bands in reviews for the sole sake of dissing them... tho you'd think they'd have moved on to someone new by now? Whoever mentioned being in the Bay Area (Joanna?) hello we are in the same boat!! I guess a couple of listees are meeting up at Popscene on thurs to try to harrass the Djs into playing Belle, so if you're interested drop us a line:-) ummm I think I have a crush on a listee, but am too embarrassed to admit it... shake it shake shake it hi-KA! taralula ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
