Message text written by John Jackson >Yes well you could apply this to anyone. Someone posts something that you perceive to be really offensive but you know them so that's ok. Someone else posts something you don't like but you don't know them so you send something to the list giving them a telling off. Double standards maybe? < <sigh> let's everyone kiss and make up and stop making wee nasty remarks to each other (not that i'm saying this <above> is nasty, but, well, er, youknoworrameanlike?) aaaaaargh, i dunno... it's hard to always write about B&S related things, especially as they aren't up to much (publicly) at the moment. Anyway, I like dirty jokes and stuff. It's good. Much better than that Catatonia list anyway. I subscribed to lurk after Northy's comments and, well, it's pish, really. They really DO only talk about band related stuff and it's really boring and there's only about 3 e-mails a day. Still lurking, Susannah? What do you think? Ah, well...it's still raining lots but i think i'm gonna go in to town anyway, but I'd better hurry cos there's only a bus every 2-3 hours from where I live. Bah! I'm wearing a B&S t-shirt. Yay! Now, where's my brolly... Anyhoo... love and love and love and love... Debbie xxx. PS: Lauren Lavern was on 'Buzzcocks last night! Hooray! She's a fancy piece...someone from B&S should go on. They could all go on and then none of the other crap guests could get in... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: new competition soon
by David & Katrina 04 Apr '98

04 Apr '98

but to do one i need a bit of help. the new compo will be an international colouring competition :) but i need something to put on the web that people can download, print and colour. so if you're ok at drawing, could you try and pen a simple black line picture of belle and sebastian in a park, or something like that. if you send them to me at the address's below (snail mail for paper and e-mail for .gif's) and i'll decide which one we'll use. bear in mind that all pictures have to be simple so that they can be scanned well, look ok on the net and most importantly, that it prints well on a black and white printer - plus people have to have space to colour it in. if you're up for it and i receive some good pictures we'll start the compo when i've got the drawing ready for the net. whoever sends in the picture that gets used will also receive a small something for their efforts. thanks david kitchen -- ****************************************************************** belle and sebastian fan club mail-outs, IRC chat, lyrics, poetry, fiction, vote, records, artwork, news, merchandise, picnics http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/ mailto:d.kitchen@virgin.net or mailto:bluesoda@totalweb.co.uk Belle and Sebastian, PO Box 14153, London SW11-4XU, United Kingdom

Sinister: more sleaze

We >just think dirty jokes are funny. Yeah, yeah, so do I, so do I (well at least some of them). Maybe I overreacted by a few per cent - Honey tells me Susannah is a nice person and a good laugh, which covers a multitude of sins. Read in that light her message is a bit different. I suppose the only point I'm trying to make is this - not that we shouldn't have jokes about sex and stuff, just that the best way of dealing with sexual/moral fascism isn't to consciously rebel against it and feel vaguely guilty by using words like dirty etc, but just to ignore it and get on with the fun. Anyway, I scored 138. John xxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Kiddies Progs... Films...
by Dr E.J. Edwards 04 Apr '98

04 Apr '98

Why has no-one mentioned PlayAway?? With the God like stature of Brian Cant (now to be heard over dubbing a cartoon for Lee & Herring). And don't forget that these were the days when Grange Hill was brilliant and even Blue Peter was quite good... and for those really young at heart is it the round window, the square window....? Good to see Cinema Paradiso being mentioned as that is my FAVOURITE film of all time... but what about Mediteraneo, the Hairdressers Husband (that'll make even non-soppy men get moist eyes), Betty Blue (ignore the student hype, its a wonderful film) ... the list, obviously, goes on but finally I'd like to mention Solaris - by far the greatest SciFi film ever made (and in Communist USSR too!) Bye for Now, Ev (pretty new list member (but 'oldish' B&S fan) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message text written by "Dr E.J. Edwards" >and for those really young at heart is it the round window, the square window....?< Yay! Playschool! Sorry, but I found an old Betamax video with this on it the other day (and He-Man, and Thundercats!) They were wearing eggbox lids on their faces and pretending to be in "an octopus' garden, under the sea" Oh dear. I'm too old to still love these programmes. Tragic. lovely jon g wrote; >I went to see Button Moon live, you know. I went to see Glen Michael's Cavalcade live, y'know...was this programme broadcast in England? Probably not. I've still got his autograph somewhere, I think... Someone mentioned 'Gregory's Girl'... Omigod, I love this film! Yeah, you're right, it is very B&S...I can just imagine sebastian and isobelle lying on the grass, dancing and clinging on incase they fall of the world as it's spinning... Yes, I know what you're thinking...I should get out more. But it's raining outside and I'll get wet if I go out. Anyway, I love the sound of rain beating off the windows <sigh> love always, Debbie xxx. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Can i make a movie about you?
by sarah :o] 04 Apr '98

04 Apr '98

There are loads of HMVs here in Canada. I'm sorry, but i must ask who the canadians are on the list. You all talk about picnics and get togethers and i just feel so lonely :( (you'll notice no sarcastic tears this time ;) Speaking of lonely and weird, i was sitting in math class today, listening to IYFS and pretending to do work. It was strange because i had my earphones up as high as they would go, but i couldn't drown out the rap and punk music that me classmates were so intent on filling the air with. I felt like i was in a little bubble, everyone had their hats on sideways (if they had hats, which none of them did) and were sitting on their desks, then there was me with my lovely, if slightly busted discman and this nice, quiet B&S cd trying to battle with the noise outside of it. I felt like they would notice at any minute that i was an imposter and make me leave, back to the land of my kind. That's why I'm so jealous of jon g and Bethey, I want to be you, its so cute how you have eachother. Because i picture the people around you to be quite like the ones around me, but that doesn't matter because you have another you. ;) Can i make a movie about you? you'll like it, i think. I have it all thought out, well, the first minute or so. The only problem is that i picture you as being each about 4 feet tall because everyone says "yes, they're 15, so young and tiny, sitting there cross-legged on the floor," but then i think hey, i'm 15 too and i'm not all that small so why must you be? This is getting quite ridiculous, so i'll stop here. But what do you think about my movie? I'll send you a screen play soon. You must think i'm strange, posting such nonsense when no one really knows who i am. But...well there's not really a but, that was actually it. sarah You can't make friends without a -whole- lotta milk >Me and bethey are getting on quite well - bethey was in HMV (a cd shop for >those who don't know) the other day with her friend and bethey put her foot >down and said "You *will* buy If You're Feeling Sinister *now*", instead of >what she was going to buy (some 'indie-rock' nonsesne, I should expect). We >are planning to do the same on Saturday for another one of her friends. I >think we're collectively up to about 9 conversions, which is quite good, >given what we've got to work with. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I had forgotten all about Finger Mouse. Oh! (jong basks in it's memory) I went to see Button Moon live, you know. It was pretty scary, I must say. It was all dark and there was nothing but these puppets made out of buckets and milk-bottle-tops danscing around. I was only three. I think we're going to have to have our own separate list for kids tv discussions.

Sinister: waltermekon in ether hades
by JOSEPH FOSTER 03 Apr '98

03 Apr '98

I got the Trap door 'compilation video' for christmas, it was allways one of my favourite programmes. Willie Rushton is, well was (God Bless), a truely brilliant man, not only did he narate, and provide material for, Trapdoor, but he also narrated Winnie the Pooh, for (I think) Jackanory, Which my Dad's got, and is just lovely. But can I confess that the music for Trapdoor was just awful. You here it about 10 times in half an hour on the video, and it drives me insane. Would B&S dare tackle the music to a kids TV show? Why not make a plastascene type cartoon based on their songs? I'm not sure what time it would be aired, maybe C4 could commision it for late at night, cus their is a great absence of good TV on after midnight. Now that I know that the good people in HMV like a bit of B&S, I can ask for a job and mention that I love them, hmmmmmm, would I get a job on the strenght of that alone? Has anyone any more insider info into how to get a job simply by liking the same band as your employer? allfreedazane. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
