Sinister: lookie at the lurker
by Erin Lewis 29 Apr '98

29 Apr '98

dear fellow B&S fans, i've been lurking around this list for a few weeks now, and i have to say i'm equally intimidated and charmed by everyone. some of the more recent letters reminded me of a friend i miss, so i thought that if i wrote to you, i wouldn't be so sad. allow me to introduce meself...AHEM. i spent nearly all of 1997 in australia, so i missed out on the music industry vibe that the US and the UK received. i found B&S by accident, through a friend who was selling her CD because she didn't think it lived up to NME and Q's hype. it wasn't until i heard "the boy done wrong again" in another friend's car that i ran out and bought the CD for myself. good choice, says i. anyway, now i'm addicted. the trash can sinatras are one of my all-time favorite bands, so now i have two really good reasons to get my butt over to scotland. about that friend: i met a boy in australia the week before i left, and he was drawing the nicest cartoons. we had a long discussion (he was the loveliest person), and i found out he drew cartoons because he has this awful degenerative disease - basically, he has 5 to 10 years to live - and it keeps his mind off dying. stuart murdoch's lyrics completely remind me of his style of letters, and that makes me happy in a sort of melancholy way (like listening to "please, please, please let me get what i want" for example). i know he would love their music, too, but i am afraid he will listen to "get me away from here i'm dying" and be very, very sad. he recently moved to a cabin in the mountains, because the city reminded him of his affliction. he won't be able to draw enough cartoons to keep his mind off of it. so, my question to you, my new friends, is this: should i send him a copy of "sinister" anyway, and hope that he appreciates the gesture? BTW, i live in central california, and i'm going to be in l.a. on may 9th, which will hopefully be a picnic day. please let me know if this happens! -erin ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

by Courtney Knopf 28 Apr '98

28 Apr '98

Okay, everyone in the L.A./Orange County area on this list, listen up! There will be a picnic on saturday May 2nd (only a couple days off, sorry about the short notice). Griffith Park seems to be the location, and 2 PM be the time. I don't know Griffith park at all, so if anyone wants to let the list know of an exact location where we should meet, please do so soon. And if you have sinister friends who aren't on this list, by all means, bring them along as well! As for food, let's be creative, shall we? a little bit of everything. Please email me so i can get a good idea of how many people are up for this. Thakns:) ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "That's not your mother!

Sinister: Judy and her dream of american thirty -something neurosis
by babyblu＠gold.globalcafe.co.uk 28 Apr '98

28 Apr '98

Started reading 'Girlfriend in a coma' as it's been recommende to me so many times by friends and family (and at least one listee I belive) I'm still not too sure about it, it reads a bit like judgement day re-written for the cast of 'friends' with a dead quarterback as god and courtney cox as the virgin mary, hmmm..... But I did come across this rather familiar passage towards the end of the book:- "....jogging round the neighbourhood in nothing more than TERRY UNDERWEAR knowing that everyone else was sleeping....the air and the sun and the pads of my feet landing on rabbit lane" Seems like it's not only the smiths that the mono-sylabollic bearded one is ripping off...

Sinister: 95% Picnic-free Content
by Rod Begbie 28 Apr '98

28 Apr '98

On Mon, 27 Apr 1998, John Jackson tempted fate by writing: > Could have been worse I suppose, it could have been Roddney, who has > been very, very quiet since that rubbish he spouted. Rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated, as a bloke once kind of said. As I said a fortnight ago, I've been sitting my finals (don't ask!). Sinister had the lucky pleasure of being the only list to which I've remained subscribed, and all your posts have been much enjoyed. I'm just surprised that the query about my disappearance appeared in this thread -- I was looking in the "shithead" one. And so on with the show... On Mon, 27 Apr 1998, Honey wrote: > o Much amusement at Linda's clip from the Daily Record about Arab Strap > being a "disgrace to Falkirk" (the mayor) For those who haven't heard, the Scottish media had a field-day at the beginning of last week interviewing councillors and residents in Falkirk asking what they thought of this band who'd been slagging off Falkirk. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the Strap from Grangemouth anyway?) One councillor said "We're a very youthful up-and-coming town. We have a cyber-cafe." Grannies said they were disappointed. Buskers said that Falkirk was fantastic. A well-informed bloke said "It doesn't matter, cause they're rubbish." Am I the only listee who thinks that Arab Strap are a bit on the poo side?

At that time, I was attempting to learn 4 months worth of lectures in two days. I was being so studious that when a bunch of friends came around for a piss-up, I stayed in my room and kept studying until 22:30, the big girly-swot that I am. We then went on to the re-housed FBI -- back at it's spiritual home in Moray House Union. A rather fab night was had spotting groups of people that I recognised from other clubs... "Yeah, they normally go to North. And I've seen them at Evol." Indeed, one of my spies reckons he spotted our beloved Laird there. Checking out the competition, eh? ;) And DJ Lee played "What You Do To Me" by the fannies, which caused me to rake out my LP of Bandwagonesque the next day. I dare anyone to come up with an album which has four tracks of sheer pop perfection in a row to match The Concept, Satan, December and What You Do To Me. Utterly gob-smackingly fabboo! > aaaaah, the new drugstore single is so beautiful... Indeedy. I'd never realised how incredibly strong Thom Yorke's voice was.

Sinister: Postcard from the Netherlands...
by The Tall Git 28 Apr '98

28 Apr '98

Well I may not have been to Sweden for a week, but I did spend the weekend in Eindhoven. A coachload of students from all over the country, going to a korfball tournament / 3-day long party. And it was a ridiculously good weekend, so this picnic's going to have to be very good to beat it... I'm sure you don't all want to hear everything that happened (and I'm too embarassed by some of it to tell you...) but there was one thing that got me thinking. I was at the party with the Edinburgh University team on the first night there, got a bit (?) drunk, and lost my jeans (and very nearly my underwear as well actually!). Before any of you get the wrong impression of me, I didn't pull them down myself, someone else did it, after I lost a drinking game... But anyway, one of the other people saw me and said "That's not the kind of behaviour you expect from someone in a Belle and Sebastian T-Shirt." I'm not quite sure what he did expect, maybe for all B&S fans to be really quiet and sober at all times or something. It's like, only twee people can listen to twee music, and anyone who does anything raucous must listen to raucous music. Does anyone out there actually fit the B&S stereotype all day, every day? I don't think anyone I've met does. I mean, sure, the music you listen to must reflect your personality to some extent, but not that much surely? Most people's personality changes depending on the situation anyway. Anyway, I'd better stop babbling before you all get bored of me (what do you mean, you already have?). Hope to see y'all on Monday! Stuart G ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: French pique nique
by Stephane Buron 28 Apr '98

28 Apr '98

Dear listees... i'm sooo bored... Why are you *all* describing the lovely picnics you have all around the world whereas i'm here, in Paris, preparing myself to work all night (or almost all night...)??? The weather is awful here and we could hardly find one or two minutes to rest on the grass in the parks but i wish we could organise something, some B&S meeting somewhere near Paris... Unfortunately, i know only two french listees : the first one is the pretty singer of the band Mumbly (by the way, someone on the list knows this group -it may be Tag- : they played a great gig last ffriday, you should have seen them!) and the other one is the famous Jean Charbon. I know they would be ok to have a picnic, but three would not be enough... Is there any other listee willing to meet near or in Paris for that??? Email privately if you do. Stéphane Let's do something pretty while we can... Danieloo : i'll write as soon as I can :-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
