Sinister: Tigermilk (Clearing things up)
by David Walker 03 May '98

03 May '98

Hello, I would like to clear a few things up regarding my previous post. 1. I wanted a copy of "Tigermilk" on tape. I was going to put it on a recordable CD (this process apparently takes 3 hours !) to save me having to keep it on tape. My tape player eats tapes and a copy would last a fortnight. 2. It is costing me an Inspiral Carpets milk bottle (down to my last 2 now) to get it copied. 3. I was never intending to bootleg it at all. Merely recording it on to CD as opposed to cassette. Is there a difference between different recording medias ? Where does mini disc stand ? So many people have had cassettes copied for them - are they too going to be threatened by legal action by Jeepster ? If I was going to be starting a widespread bootlegging operation (which would be hard without any relevant equipment) would I really have advertised so blatantly this fact, knowing full well that people close to the band are on this list ? When I referred to copying, I meant onto tape cassette. I would have thought a master copy on CD would have been better to tape off than continually using tapes (I know owners of originals don`t play theirs often). 4. Finally, could I say how shocked I was when I got this in my mailbox: "Dear David, Please note that it is illegal to bootleg onto CD, and that if you are found to be breaking the law in this way, Jeepster will not hesitate to take legal action against you." Not EMI, or Warners, or Polygram. But Jeepster. Thanks, you made my day (not). Cheers, David (Feeling down and a bit disillusioned). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: where to get B&S goods in London
by Fade416651 03 May '98

03 May '98

Hi there! I will be visiting London later this month, and was wondering if anyone could provide me with a few names & addresses of shops carrying Belle and Sebastian merchandise (records, T-shirts, you name it). Names of other shops carrying indie band goods/CDs are also welcomed. Also are there any good clubs to check out for indie music? I'd appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thanks.

Keithy Weithy wroted: >Oh and Peter, just to make you more jealous of the Money Mark experience - >you'll never guess, we were privelaged enough to be able to stand NEXT TO >THE PASTELS.... ALL THROUGH THE GIG!!!! Wow - I'll never wash my clothes >again. Aaah, the halcyon days of standing next to the Pastels at gigs! I haven't had that experience since Dinosaur Jr downstairs at Barrowlands in 1492. If my memeory serves me well, someone (not me) said "there's that spazzy Pastel guy" thus earning us evil glares from his sycophantic herd of pop pals. Of course, I could be making it all up. One fine day I will learn how to answer more than one message at once, cutting and pasting I believe it's called. In the meantime, Tim said something about Spanish picnics in between raining insults upon me as usual. Jolly good idea, who's up for it? Most Iberian listees seem to hail from the Mediterranean area, Barcelona and Valencia in particular, and I'm in the jolly old Basque Country. I therefore think we should make it as inconvenient as possible for everyone. How about the Doñana National Park in Huelva? We could play Twister in the acid-drenched radioactive mud and eat tons and tons of contaminated peaches until we get tummy ache. Staying on a Tim tip, I went to look for some of his reggae-mendations yesterday. I found precisely NONE of them, so I bought Volume 2 of "Birth of Soul" by Various Artists. What a lovely album it is. I urge you all to rush out and buy it. Breathtakingly beautiful stuff, and an essay that touches on the meaning of P!O!P! inside the lavishly illustrated booklet. I have also been called a freak for insisting on purchasing CDs that last at least 70 minutes, preferably 78, regardless of their contents. I broke my own rule by buying the miserly 62 minutes of Cappadonna's album too. I'm afraid I couldn't resist it. It sounds pretty good to me, but then what the fuck would I know? I think I should warn you (or some of you) that I may be paying a visit to the Emerald Isle of England's Green and Pleasant Land before too long. I may get the urge to try and follow some of you about in person, rather than by e-mail, although I doubt it because I am poor, but some of you might like to buy gas masks just in case, particularly in the Scotland region of England. Pish! Pish! Pish! I hope you've all had a good listen to the stunning vocal abilities of Paul's cat. Pierre Cardin ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Bonjour Sinister, zis ees Edinburgh calling. 'eer are ze results of ze Scotteesh jury...

With a belly. And going bald. With spots. And a broken nose. ROTFL. Last night, for the first time this series, my favourite "Star Guest" won. A really cute and bubbly Paisley lass (bubbly in that non-irritating way which only west-coast Scots can truly pull off) performing as Belinda Carlisle. YES! I was in heaven.

It's horriffic (spelling?)) It's fabulously kitsch, and Granada have sold the format world-wide. There was a clip on the Eurotrash/Eurovision show last night (of which, more later) of the Norwegian version, where the host is an all-singing, all-dancing loon who puts Matthew Kelly to shame (and who once got Nul Points in Eurovision) > Camcorder home movies can be so much fun for all the family. There are only two reasons why people ever buy camcorders: 1) To film their holidays 2) To make their own porn-flicks.

The Sinister Belles maybe.

Associated Rediffusion were one of the first ITV companies in Britain, and they used to run a TV Rental company. Therefore, I assume, "The Man from Rediffusion" was the telly repair bloke. Of course, they now make aeroplane simulators for the military, so it could be that... So anyway, back to that Euro(Trash|Vision) thing last night. Anyone else watch this? The Kenickies performed an astonishing version of "Save All Your Kisses For Me", which caused me to have a dream last night about bumping into Lauren Laverne in the Stirling branch of Our Price. As if that wasn't entertainment enough, Banarararararama performed Waterloo, wonderbra'd up to the chin, wearing wedding dresses, causing me to have my first "Who's your favourite member of Banararararararararama?" conversation since I was 9. (Siobbbbbbbhan, for those who care) And watch, as I seamlessly seague that last paragraph into the closest I've come to on-topic posting for months: The Kenickies' new single has been reviewed in the latest issue of Select, and in a hell-freezing-over style freak of probability, the reviewer compares it to Belle & Sebastian (!!!). I quote: "Kenickie, somewhat inevitably, display a new 'mature' direction with their first release in ages. Gone is the shoutalong rowdiness of 'Punka', replaced by a more melancholic sound with close affinities to Belle And Sebastian - acoustic guitars, poignant lyrics ("I'm in pieces/Can no one see it") and a glockenspiel finale. As delightfully tuneful as anything they've done to datre, and it's encouraging to hear that they haven't abandoned the 'la la la' backing vocals even if they have to pretend to be grown-ups now." Next issue: Kula Shaker in "very like Delgados" shocker. Later, pop chums! Rod.

Sinister: LONDON PICNIC
by blue soda 03 May '98

03 May '98

well, one day to go, and this ail is for the benefit of all those that have e-mail access at home. the last minute news is... -=- Weather weather should be fine, the reports from the met office http://www.meto.gov.uk/ state that london will have the following weather today (sunday) and the following two days: CITY FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE MET OFFICE COMMENCING 03 MAY 1998 SUNDAY PICNICDAY TUESDAY London Max Temp (C) 13 15 15 Min Temp (C) 05 07 09 Midday Wind Speed (mph) 15 10 10 Midday Wind Dirn N N W Weather Cloudy Partly Partly Cloudy Cloudy Prob of Precip (%) 20 00 10 The "Prob of Precip" is the likelihood that 0.4mm of rain will fall between 8am and 6pm. So we should be fine. -=- Information phone line. You can call us on 0181 560 1815 to check the details for the picnic, tomorrow after 11am this number will be used as a messaging service. It's just an ansaphone but will let you know where everyone will be if there are any problems or if it does pish down. You can also leave a message and we'll be attempting to check periodically to make sure that all's well. -=- Food. We're going to bring sopme basics (in small quantities) and some paper plates and plastic cutlery. The restis up to you. What we want is for everyone to bring one item for the masses, such as pringles and dips or cocktail sausage rolls, etc. This way we can build up more food than we can eat (always a good scenario) without seriously making anyone get out a mortgage for it. Because you only really have to bring one large item, we don't think it'll cost anyone more than £3/4 max, with more people paying only a pound or two for their contribution. And the aim? A massive communal buffet at no deep cost to anyone. -=- Games Confirmed games are; Connect 4 Buckaroo Twister Several people have said that they will be bringing footballs, rounders/baseball stuff and even a swingball. But that's really up to them and not us, so we hope to have those things, but if else fails there'll still be trees that need climbing and the hill itself that needs rolling down :) -=- Meeting up 2pm at Camden Town Tube Station. We're prepared to wait a while for late comers, but should we have left by the time you get there, then simply make your way to Primrose Hill and we'll meet you at the top. You get to Primrose hill by heading up the Parkway, and turning right up a residential road when you reach the set of traffic lights. This road sorta winds towards the foot of the hill, over a little bridge and past a church on its way. -=- That's it! We'll see you there.
