Sinister: radiohead
by Runegg 19 Apr '98

19 Apr '98

hi. i know there is some ambivalence about radiohead in this list, but i saw them tonight at Radio City Music Hall in new york and they were great. unfortunately afterwards i stopped by the Cherry Tavern, downstairs from my apartment, and saw all the really cool people from the neighborhood who make me want to scream. oh, those cool people. they are models and such, christ what a nightmare. tomorrow i'm seeing blonde redhead (any fans out there?)---this is a band-ful weekend. hardly any time to hang out with the falling blossoms in central park. --ari ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I'm like 'what are you doing here?' 'waiting for you' the next one i was in this little american suburban town talking to this neighbour girl and jim just walks up and i run away from the girl and cry out 'JIM!!' he gave me flowers and a bracelt made out of rope and wood and we started singing the theme of 'in living colour' together and hugging....I don't understand..but that was awhile ago..but i still remember them...i don't liek jim or thinks he funny...why?!? and this other one! it was such a nightmare at the time,i was going out with this very surfer boy and he threw me into one of those bins at department stores (that always have lots of socks and underwear on sale in them?) and made me kiss him...it was like being underwater..except...being under packages of socks...and then he told me he could do this trick on pppl and make them hypnotized and i believed it worked then he told me to follow him and we were at this big display..a pyramid of bottles and bottles of foundation (that beigey makeup?) and he's like 'Find my shade bitch!!!' and I was trying so hard to please him but i picked the wrong shade and he became very angry and i helplessly tried to do that hypno trick on him,(to calm him)but of course since it was a sham it wouldn't work.And then he made me try on mickey mouse boxers,it sounds ridiculous now of course.

Sinister: spin spin spin
by blink＠inexpress.net 19 Apr '98

19 Apr '98

Hi all! I had read that B&S were going to be in Spin's top 40...and goodness it's true! I don't like Spin and various other magazines and usually whenever I see a band I like in them I always get a little angry cos..well various reasons that i won't get into.. BUT when I saw the little B&S...I felt actually happy..i think Stuart Murdoch looks beautiful in that picture,the teeny little smile..awww...i felt such an overwheming love for him and his voice when I saw that picture!! Anyways..I didn't really care about what they wrote but here it is anyways: Belle and Sebastian are indie rock's most notorious shrinking violets.They refuse to be photographed,shun reporters,and rarely perform in public.Even becoming a band at all was something of an accident for the Scottish collective.Each year,Alan Rankine,a onetime member of 80's popsters the Associates,shows his music buisness class at Glasgow's Stowe College how to produce and market a record.In 1996,the class picked a demo tape by shy singer/guitarist Stuart Murdoch,impressed both by his meticulously arranged,slyly funny pop tunes,and his ethereal,Nick Drake-like voice. "The strength of the songs just pissed on everything from a great height!" raves Rankine.A surprised Murdoch cobbled some musician friends together and recorded the acclaimed Tigermilk EP."We thought it was okay," says drummer Richard Colburn."Then record companies and fans started calling and we thought,My God,what have we done?" They signed with The Enclave label,which folded soon after the release of the excellent If You're Feeling Sinister.A new record will be released by Matador this summer,but the band is still devising ways to confound the public. "I'm going to suggest something daft like touring the world's Holiday Inns," says Rankine,still a band confidante. "That ought to keep them occupied." (radiohead pictures everywhere in this thing! Today,in a very trendy 'ohmigod' shoe store they were playing Paranoid Android.I wonder how Thom woulda felt about that...because he's always going on about how he turns on the tv and sees ads for toasters and feels disgust...) *sniff* My street poet friend didn't recognize me today..just cos i wasn't wearing my miniskirt...so i got no true love poems today.But he met the director of that famous opera which is performing at the nac now...limos everywhere..so i was happy for him...i would like to be able to play B&S songs very well on my guitar..i think it would be so nice to sit under the bridge and be a belle n sebby busker... kisses, Genevieve saw Nightwatch...that Nick Nolte is a creepy man!!!! And Ewan...sounded..American! I didn't think he could do it...i much prefer Scottish accent..mmm...redheads... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: midwest picnic (and a just-realized B&S dream)
by Amanda Bergman 18 Apr '98

18 Apr '98

Hello Dear List, Anyone else in the lovely American middle west care to convene in Chicago or the vicinity for a spring picnic? Perhaps sometime in May? Please email me privately if you would even be remotely interested in such an event so we can start to organize something... I HAD A B&S DREAM AGAIN. Weird, and I'm just remembering it as I sit down to email the list. anyway, the gist of it was that I was working in some kind of abused children's shelter and they were all watching TV and there was some special on about this band who did all kinds of lovely philanthropic things (for kids, mostly) and were garnering praise from all over the place about their selfless acts of kindness. On the screen was Stuart Murdoch, holding a little smiling kid in each arm, talking to the camera about "the music of healing" or something. That's when I looked behind me and realized that *they were filing the special right in the shelter where I was working!* Before I could even scream out "OhmygodStuartyou!R!U!L!E!" and go rushing over to say hello (never mind that I would be interrupting some kind of live TV broadcast), I looked towards the back corner where a new group of lights and cameras were being set up...and in moments, it was Stevie Jackson sitting there with his acoustic guitar singing "Wrong Love." I nearly died, as that song is one of my favorites. So I headed over to the corner, singing along as I walked, and when I got to where he was playing, sat down right near the cameras and watched him sing. Then Stevie heard me singing, and smiled at me, and after he was done with the song he turned to me and said "Hello, you bonny wee lass, come away with me." And then I woke up, and noticed I had worn my olive green argyle socks to bed... ok, just kidding about the sock part (Dr. Minka reference there). I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in Chicago spring has certainly sprung. Skies are blue, winds are breezy and cool, and the sun is warm on your shoulders. Weather that would be the perfect accompaniment to, say, the release of some new B&S stuff. Katrina and/or David, is there any breaking news about release dates? I'm sure the list is poised and ready to, at the very least, undertake a new round of "Sonic Confusion" and share our lyric mishearings. Well, I'm off to do something productive like finish the tapes she promised people a month ago (sorry! anyone who was expecting a tape and thinks I have been totally delinquent, which I have, please email me if you have any concerns/questions about the tape stuff.) bye bye, Swannie ------------------ Amanda Bergman Northwestern University a-bergman(a)nwu.edu "I am the sunshine." --the Push Kings ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Perhaps some introddddddddddddductions are in order. Right! I've been lurking for a while, but it's time to break cover. I'm starting to feel like a grubby voyeur, and since no-one''s on the list at the moment... Introduction. Sebastian Brennan, 18, unemployed actor, professional daydreamer. Moving to London in a few months.I used to have a dog called Belle, but we had to put her down.(She went mad). That NME thingie said.. >their songs perfectly mirror > the tribulations of a long-neglected section of the record-buying public. No! The thing that suprised me about this list was that it's not full of sad obsessive failiures.(Well, there's one or two of us..) And I know loads of different people who are B&S fans, so I don't think there's a "type" of fan. And their Gigs have such a variety of people, all ages, both sexes. So Ggrrr! Don't pigeon hole us! Still, we shall see at the picnics....if they're going ahead, that is. Info? Right, back to the bushes... Seb. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: here's johnny
by bradford 18 Apr '98

hello. my name is brad. i was introduced to the belle and sebastians from my mom, who quite fancies krokus and says they sound just like them. for fun, i give blow jobs to football players to give them a little "pep" before the big game. i also have these recurring dreams of a naked and jolly tag frolicking through the garbage dumpster behind the local jack in the box eating, well, slurping, anything he finds and letting it run down his stomach, across his navel, and drip down his well endowed member. oh, and i have seventeen testicles. it's been a while huh? that was for any new people who might have joined in my absence. actually i never left. i have been deleting upwards of 75 mails every other day from you lot for about the past two and a half weeks. i've had no free time you see. but now i'm back in the fold. actually i stuck around only to see if anyone would speak poorly of me thinking that i had fucked off and wouldn't hear it. so what's the latest on the new album or a new single? have i missed anything other than sad songs, ink polaroids, and dreams? it's good to be home. i feel like crying a river. -brad oh, and go rent the movie "u-turn" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

RE: Sinister: leg/name/toilet
by Chris Leonard 18 Apr '98

18 Apr '98

>>What a coincidence! I mean, what are the odds? Christopher Leonard >knows Mitchell Fraser! A person with two christian names and no >surname >>knows a person with two surnames and no christian name! And >to top it all, >>they're both romantically involved with Keith! Hmm. Very perceptive of you Admiral Miller. How young Mitchell and I used to laugh and laugh at our comedy names, often to the point of peeing. We often went to the dancing and impressed the ladies simply by saying our names out loud, in turn. Those were the days I tell you. For 4 years we were voted "The people of Glasgow's favourite entertainers", on the strength of our names alone. But all good things must come to an end, and ours came when I left to fight in 'Nam. The bitch said he'd stay faithful to me, but when I came back 6 months later I found him working the circuits with Kenneth Thomas! I became an alcoholic and died. A few weeks later I got better and became a professional body-popper. Keith, say "hello Mitchell!". Thanks. >>And a funny website, just like Roddd's to boot! Is it still up and running, >>Chris? If not, can you remember any of the jokes? It would be nice to >have >>a funny website showdown between yourself and Rodddd, wouldn't >it? Ahh yes. I'm becoming a little misty eyed now, don't you know. It wasn't flash but it had soul I tell you. I had an adventure game called "The House Of Brett" which I recently considered resurrecting. You can see how far I got at http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~calnd/Brett/ . I warn you, I only managed one page then I got bored with it. Keith, steep in a hot bath. (Keith is a romance icon in the indie world. Sort of Fabio in a hair >clip, if you will.) >>B&S dreamtime: I had a dream about the Spice Girls last night. It was really good! B&S Content ========== Bit of a downer that I missed that "Don't Look Down". Slow Graffiti is dead good, so there.
