Sinister: Sentimental fools
by Martin Conneely 20 May '98

20 May '98

Pedro complained that his emotional reaction to "The State That I am In" got the following response from a female friend: "you and your emotions. You're just a sentimental fool! Life isn't poetry, you know?". Maybe she was just living the songs: "Belle and Sebastian" has a couplet that goes: "He wants to love and he wants to care But when the girls hear that they think he's so square." If it's a choice between "Dog" or the female friend, maybe the best advice is on "Century of Fakirs": "If you ever get lardy or go lame I will drop you straight away, That's the price you have to pay For all the stupid things you say". So try to keep both for the time being; then drop whichever goes lardy or lame first. :-) Martin C ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: its a beautiful day in warm LA
by McGuire 20 May '98

20 May '98

was sick all day. stayed home from my office job. cleaned the hell out of my apartment and did my dishes (3 months can reak havoc). went to the doctor, got a mess load of antibiotics and allergy pills. came home to my berry smelling flat and spent the day listening to old albums that i've been missing. called my folks. smoked too many cigarettes. had some coffee and a crossaint for dinner. bought some wheat chex and milk ( i can eat cereal now that i have dishes and a clean fridge again!). stole a bunch of equal packets at the coffee shop. now i'm feeling drowsy and ready to go to sleep. three cigarettes left. they kill me slowly but keep me alive quickly. its a trade off. played cat power's cover of hank williams 'i cant help it (if i'm still in love with you) cover for most of the day. i guess it was a good thing. but who knows these days. ok, i need sleep. cheers.

Re: Sinister: even long shots make it
by Kayemess 20 May '98

20 May '98

I, too, purchased the Mogwai remixes yesterday. Quite nice. I have reason to believe I saw a member of Tortoise purchasing the Arab Strap album yesterday in Austin. I listened to it with a friend, and we agreed it was not as impressive as we'd hoped. I finally got The Ladybug Transistor album. The members like Belle and Sebastian, as I believe someone mentioned. It's a nice listen. Jenny Toomey likes B&S, too. My friends and I like to say her name in a high-pitched voice very quickly. What was I talking about? -Kristen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Re: sinister-digest snippets for the taking

> > garth brooks also calls his music "product," and has asked his company to stop > > producing his first cds in attempt to make everyone buy his new 6-cd set Jeez. As if his fans didn't own them already. Who doesn't have that friggin CD Fences? (well not me since I don't listen to that garbage, but I assume anyone who has gone 2 stepping once owns it). I guess they're hoping the fans got liquored up one evening and played skee shoot with them. > so... you igbore what he says because he's into corporate whoredoom: fair > enough, but isn't the fact that he's a broing old country weastrel enough > reason to ignore him anyway? :^) > On Mon, 18 May 1998, Alan Prior wrote: > > on the way into town on the bus, the driver pulled over on the way > > through the village, said "i'll just be a minute", got out, crossed the > > road and went into the pub.

I have the exact same reaction to that record. I got it last may when I was on the edge of graduating and locating a real place to live in. It was a boring couple of weeks. I was sending out resumes, kicking around the overly crowded Women's Co-op (not so crowded because of people, but because they were simultaneously renovating the place as we were tripping over our own luggage) with absolutely nothing to do. That sounds good, but it was pretty dull since I couldn't figure out what to do with myself. it just felt like I was lying around the place waiting for everything. Like you're at the mercy of the universe on what was going to happen except try to slip in the kitchen every once in a while and live off of the very sparse pantry they had kept between school terms. It was also a very emotional time for me anyway since my life was about to change so drastically from what I was ever used to, and as i think about it, it seems every time I go through a big change in my life, I associate something in my life with it. In this case, at this time of the year, I hear this album and think of last summer. When i hear Morrissey's Vauxhall and I, I think of when I first showed up on campus and it was my first time away from home. When I see the moon hanging in the mid-day sky in the middle of fall, I think of that time in my freshman year in college. There is a long reason, but I won't go into it. I tried to listen to sinister at other times, and yet, it doesn't bring the power of these memories and feelings as it does at this time of year. > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Belle and Sebastian News
by jeepster.uk＠virgin.net 19 May '98

19 May '98

Hello all! Just a brief news update to let you all know what Belle and Sebastian are up to. Well, we at Jeepster finally heard the tracks of which the album will be selected last weekend. Richard and Isobel came down to London bringing the elusive CD with them. Listening to the CD made me remember just why I fell in love with this band in the first place. The recordings sound fresh and new and (dare i say it!) professional. Once the final tracklisting for the album has been decided, I will let you all know. No doubt, you'll be able to piece most of it together in your own minds already, but all I can say is that it has a totally different feel to both "...Sinister" and "Tigermilk". Not necessarily a change of direction, but more a coming together of ideas and it sounds more like a whole band expressing their inner most secrets. It's very exciting! Tentative release date for the LP looks to be late August/early September ... we still don't have a title! I also hope to have details of gigs for you all quite shortly as well. It looks as though the late summer tour will be going ahead and the band have said they're going into rehearsals for that shortly. Warm-up and UK dates should be announced soon(ish). We hope to be able to sell tickets by credit card for these gigs, info as it comes. There will also be a Jeepster web-site appearing soon at http://www.jeepster.co.uk/ so stay tuned for that as well, designed by Mr Fanclub man himself, David Kitchen (shop(a)jeepster.co.uk) - soon to be a Jeepster full-timer. So, over the next month or so, I hope to have the answers to all the questions you have been waiting for. I do promise to try get the official and finalised news to you ASAP, so maybe if you hear an "exclusive" bit of news, it may not necessarily be the case and only a rumour so please be patient. Well, 'til next time, Best Wishes, Katrina. ************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - jeepster.uk(a)virgin.net 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, uk ph - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 This message was sent to 446 people. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Album tracklisting
by M.D. Pattison 19 May '98

19 May '98

I don't remember seeing this on the list at any point, so I thought I'd post it. It's from Stuart D around the time of the chat (thanks Nick!) so it might be out of date now. Anyway, here is the provisional track listing of the new album... Rollercoaster Ride The Gate Space Boy Dream Seymour Stein Summer Wasting Tigermilk Chickfactor Slow Graffiti Is it Wicked Not to Care I Know Where the Summer Goes Simple Things Sleep the Clock Around Ease Your Feet in the Sea It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career I also heard a clip of the first few seconds of the last track - sounds good! I hope you all enjoy yourself at the next picnic, just 1 week before my exams. I'm definitely, definitely going to be at the one after that. Definitely. And we're going to have a cool Cambridge picnic. See you all then - Mark, dreaming of summer ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
