Funny, I've always thought of them as Stripped-down Italian Speedcore. Have been listening to the wrong band? A confused listee P.S. Yes, I stole this from a HMHB song. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: the leccy bill
by Pedro A Rodrigues 15 May '98

15 May '98

Hello there on String Bean Jean, according to the lyrics I got from the Sinister homepage, there's a part where it goes like this: And we always have a laugh and then we all get in the bath To save on the *leccy bill* Me & Jo & Phil' (...) And when Jo was short of cash I had to give her some But I didn't really mind cause I was fit for once So she paid the *leccy bill* and got the shopping and she still had Some for the cinema So we all went out Ok, so I think "what the hell is a leccy bill?" I went to Merriam Webster's Online Dictionary and it seems they never heard of the word "leccy"... :-( But, of course, someone from the Sinister List will easily enlighten me... right? :-)) Pedro ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Umm..
by Nick Dastoor 15 May '98

15 May '98

hello all Is anyone else pathologically unable to delete sinister e-mails without reading them, no matter how many they have to catch up on. I have just read 12 DIGESTS IN A ROW. AT WORK. I deserve to be sacked. Has anyone here got caught sinistering during work hours? Was it embarrassing? I am ashamed to have missed the London picnic for no good reason. I actually got as far as getting on the bus with food and everything, but then stopped off to get a film for my Super-8 camera and then went into Virgin and bought the new PE album and then made some excuse about the weather and went home instead. Bah! Some things: Whilst I was away, super-kind listee John Johnston wished me happy birthday. This prompted a minor birthday thread - see how I shape the list even when not here (there?). My birthdate (010573) is the 198415th place of pi, you know. Martin pondered: >In "Hurley's Having Dreams", there's a reference to Hurley dreaming of >the time when he was a horse in Czechoslovakia. Could it be that >"Hurley" is the song Judy "wrote" about a dream of horses? And maybe >she wrote about a "horse in Czechoslovakia" because she was reading a >book by a Czech author (although he wrote in German)? And maybe >that's why there's a woman on the front of IFYS reading The Trial? And there was I thinking Martin was a grown-up civil servant who had grown out of such convulted over-analysis of pop songs. Hooray that he isn't! And Tim worried: >Eek! It's just occurred to me that it might be a bad thing to buy >secondhand promo copies of records, since the artists don't get any >cash money as a result. Oh, the moral maze of modern living. Did you know that evil godfather of soulless country Garth Brooks actually took this idea seriously - he lobbyed for legislation in the US outlawing the sale of secondhand CDs. As far as I know he was laughed out of court. How greedy can you get? Where's Northy when we need an impassioned defence of corporate avarice? Can I second the Rodster's recommendation for the Black Box Recorder single "Child Psychology"? Speaking as Psychology graduate (oh yes!), the title track is perhaps a bit preposterous, but the B-sides are wonderful. Especially the cover of "Seasons in the Sun". It's been too long since there's been a female singer unafraid to be posh. How great is the way she intonates 'hour after hour after hour' on "Girl Singing in the Wreckage"? Umm... very great. And Kenickie's version of "Save all your kisses for me" made me cry. I think I might be getting into indie music again. Love, Nick (who was planning to beome nicky, but a nickie has come along and spoiled my poncey plans) _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I've just visited the Baby page of Honeygrrrs site in my lunch hour (cos I'm sad, have no friends and no life), and would just like to congratulate Paul on that excellent animated graphic at the top of the page. I took absolutely no interest in the baby pictures at all, just sat watching dancing baby for oooh ten minutes say. Smashing Super Great.

Sinister: hear, hear: long live sentimental fools!
by vlass＠interlog.com 15 May '98

15 May '98

hey... >>The other day I was listening,with a friend of mine, to a B&S song "the >>state I am in". >>Great song. Pure magic. >We were driving round and round a parking garage and listening to "The State I Am >In".....and I made it as far as "why don't you", right after the "riding on >city busses" and the chord change..or something...just bit me, and I >started bawling in a big way.... how coincidental... or maybe not.. maybe this happens to belle&sebastian fans everywhere!.. "the state i am in" has been my theme song for the past few days.. i'm not sure why, but i keep on rewinding it and listening to it over and over again. it's one of those songs that grows on you the more and more you listen to it... sigh.. hehe, for my english class we have to write a play and for my amusement i tried to throw in as many music references as i could without being too obvious.. like, the main character - her name is judy... the characters talk about doing something pretty while they can, and the boy in the play, henry, talks about the state that he is in. oh, and for any erics trip afficianados, judy and henry are going to "our friend peter's house" (from the song stove! it was also covered by canadian rockers sloan.. who were on the enclave with b&s before it went under or whatever) anyway, no one in my class will notice any of the b&s things (a friend of mine rolled her eyes when i said that the main character was judy - "you and your judy blume...i don't know *what* kind of cult you're into now.." - as b&s sing, "make a new cult everyday to suit your affairs", right? heh. anyway, i was thinking more of judy and the dream of horses.. is the horse really hurley? oh dear.. im rambling..) wouldn't it be neat if someone actually stood up and said, "OH MY GOD! You're referring to the song "We Rule the School" by Belle and Sebastian! I own a vinyl copy of Tigermilk! Why don't you come over to my house after school and we can listen to it outside in the backyard while eating strawberries!" ... er, or something similar? well, considering i've gone to school with these poofs for 5+ years, i'm pretty sure nothing of the sort will happen.. i can dream though, can't i? oh.. i hate to bring this up here, and the very last thing i want to do is make it into a bigger deal than it is, and even worse, put myself in the middle of it, cos i am switzerland and will remain totally neutral ( :) - i love everyone, but i don't love anyone) i would like to stand up for my friend mellowtrance (etc..) who has er, created some problems on the irc chat.. i know he was a bit of a potty mouth and clashed with some of you, but he really was *truly* sincere about trying to apologize to you the last time he went on.. he is one of my only friends who likes belle and sebastian, and in real life he's a great, great person... i'm a bit dissapointed by the whole thing because i think that if given the chance, you could have as much fun with him as i do.. but, i'm sorry for any feathers that were ruffled along the way... (hey, why am *i* apologizing? heh, it's some canadian thing probably..eh?.. ack, bad joke :) ) but hmm, i would like to end this on a better note :) oooh, someone mentioned the book weetzie bat by francesca lia block a few days ago and i wholehartedly recommend it as well - it's so wonderfully crazy. by someone's recommendation i'm reading an anais nin book, and hee hee, it makes me giggle like an immature school girl sometimes.. "literary erotica", how euphemistically pretentious.. maybe judy went under the covers with a torch to read her.. i'm sure her parents wouldn't approve! okay, now i'm being silly... sleep well, teri xoxo ==== you're not the boy that you say you are you come from outerspace you drive a rental car --rasputina-- vlass(a)interlog.com it's still a baby: http://members.tripod.com/~meltingsnow/ ==== ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
