Sinister: King of the Hill
by Johnston, John CT 03 May '98

03 May '98

Folks I think we can draw a line under this "stereotypical" B&S fan issue by paraphrasing a mr H Hill of Arlen, Texas.... "There's no such thing as an average Belle and Sebastian fan. All Belle and Sebastian fans are above average" John-in-bed-trying-to-get-well-before-the-picnic-Johnston xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: jon g. and the latest happenings in the playground
by jon g. 03 May '98

03 May '98

HEY KIDS! I've been trying not to spend my whole life writing to the list and actually doing some work towards my exams, but today, I could not resist the urge. Date: Sat, 2 May 1998 19:13:54 +0100 From: "Yaz" <yazansam(a)dircon.co.uk> Subject: Sinister: But miss....Queries >love from Yaz (who every time she turns on the radio and hears that soddin >Rockin' Robbie-i-am-a-big-fat-twat-William's song can't help but be mildly >surprised that the man knows a word as long as...... "effigy"). Tis true. That song IS from an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical - I swear it is. Like Jesus Christ Superstar or summit. Have you seen the video? He's trying to be like Kiss, with painted faces and he wears this lycra one-piece with the belly cut out, so his hairy fat belly hangs out. It is most revolting. >Date: Sat, 2 May 1998 16:28:52 -0400 (EDT) >From: blink(a)inexpress.net >Subject: Sinister: Hey baby,wanna see some Belle and Sebastian? >do you think this would work as a pick-up line? jon drools. Johnny-boy Johnston wrote: >Songs you shouldn't like....."As long as you love me" by the Backside >Boys - I can't explain it. A playground favourite. They're so gorgeous aren't they? NO Katrina wrote >"got lots of snow patrol gossip if anyone's interested tho'! ..." I turned on the evening session and heard steve lamacq saying "and that's snow patrol's new single: bkjbkjsbjbs'. DRAT! Foiled Again! B&S Content: Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be.....Stuart Murdoch. The audience clap as he disappears into the smoke and reappears as Stuart Murdoch. With a belly. And going bald. With spots. And a broken nose. YES! B&S on Stars In Their Eyes (apologies to none-UK people who won't understand that Stars In Their Eyes is a programme in which middle-aged housewifes from Derby and unemployed builders fromm Hull dress up as their idols and sing songs. It's horriffic (spelling?)) You've probably already had this conversation, but I'll bring it up again. Picnics: I think us kids should have our own picnic, as bethey suggested. I don't think my Mum would let me come and meet all the grown ups. It would be too scary anyway. And me and bethey would sit on the grass and smile and say nothing. Isn't the new Arab Strap album good? The covers a bit confrontational for my liking, but I suppose it's art. Johnny-boy Johnston also said: >I've been thinking about the picnics and I think we should have a >password when we meet so that we know we are with the right people like >in spy movies. I'm sure on the day in fact it will be obvious who the >Sinister lot are - we'll be the gorgeous ones with cheerleaders and >marching bands, oh and some belle and sebastian t-shirts. But I still >think a hidden codeword would add some spice, and a further frisson of >excitement to the occasion. Let's have a secret handshake as well. I haven't really said much, have I? It's all replies. bethey has read High Fidelity (she's camping this weekend!!!!) and she has developed this theory that she may be the way she is because of the music she listens to. Like, she's only the girl in the second verse of Fox In t'snow because that's what Stuart Murdoch has made her. Does the music we listen to match up with our lives (get me away from here, i'm dying) or do our lives match up with our music? Scary stuff. Camcorder home movies can be so much fun for all the family. When do you think the B&S tribute band will happen? And what will they be called? The Sinister Belles maybe. back to the grindstone, jon g. jon.g(a)btinternet.com - http://surf.to/jongandbethey/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re: sir stuff a lot
by Amy Golden 03 May '98

03 May '98

Bradford basically wrote: >i spent a lovely day at work today with some old toothless fucker <snip> it took twenty minutes to give him a seven digit number. Pardon if I lag on my digests. Just had to reply to our directory assistance operator, 'cause I used to do that job summers while I was in college. We used to get this guy who called asking for the number of "Big Dick Liquors." When he got neither a rise nor a number out of the operator he would keep trying. "What about 'Hard Dick Liquors,' and every other permutation a dirty little mind can think up. The funny thing was that most of us would helpfully offer the listing for "Ball Liquors" (a real establishment!), but he never 'got it'. What a dope. But Bradford, for something really interesting you should consider being the zero op, where you spend an incredible percentage of your time talking to prison inmates. They've worked out a system of chirping, whistling, & blowing raspberries into the horn, which amazingly can trick a pay phone into believing they've deposited coins. When they aren't successful they drop onto the operator's line. One time I got this guy who was so carried away w/ his sound effects that he failed to dial a number. He had something like $11 of credit racked up. I just sat there listening to his antics till he finally stopped & I asked if he was done. Well I guess I'd better be done too, except to say that I enjoyed the Housemartins & once got in trouble at my conservative (religious) high school for writing "Take Marx, take Jesus, take hope" on the blackboard during Spanish class. Hasta... Amy PS: whoever devised that little church as a sig file is a clever thing. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

by Courtney Knopf 03 May '98

03 May '98

So we had a lovely picnic today at Griffith Park. Too bad none of you showed up:P. what the hell? Do you not listen to my email? I feel so ignored. Anyhoo Andy and i got there at about 2:20 and waited on the front steps until 6:00. can you do the math on that one? that would be 3 hours and 40 minutes, people. NOT to mention all the Dr. Pepper we drank. and you missed out on Pasta Salad and fresh mangoes. so i suppose it's your loss. perschnapps next time we'll coordinate a little better....or maybe more people will listen to me next time. Okay, i'm done bitching at you. Have a lovely day:) ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "I feel like Wedding Day Barbie, I'm absolutely ecstatic!" ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I too have noticed discrepancies between Sinister's lyrics sheet and what is on the record... Like in "Seeing Other People," although the book claims it's "Youre going to have to go with girls Youd be better off, at least they know what they're doing," S. really says "at least they know where to put it..." Right? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: something for everyone
by Lindsay Sworski 03 May '98

03 May '98

how about sunday the 17th for you'all in the "greater" los angeles area? or something better. email me, my name's lindsay, im fairly competent, i'll try to work it out, choreograph our day of bliss... how is everybody out there doing? (now the whole world is included) i know its the most overused inquiry but hey. yeah, hey. i went snorkling today but i guess the tide was bad and waves were leading us straight to a buncha rocks and i didnt have fins on and i was rescued by a lifeguard - Baywatch style!!! red bouy and everything!!! it was so exciting. i really dont like swimming in the ocean anyways (almost drowned when i was seven under a crashing wave only to realize that the water was only 4 feet deep) so i was kinda happy. then me and my sexy manfriend went to go see "Butcher Boy." have any of you seen it? what did you think? i had something i felt was a cool moment, perhaps a B&S moment... i went camping in the desert last weekend. There's a "stargazing seminar" at my school and my friend and i arent in the class but we tagged along. After looking through telescopes and drinking luke-warm chocolate, my friend and i left the others and went on a walk. A dry wind made our hair fly as we walked along the dirt path, with no one in sight over the whole expanse of the dark desert. we walked until exhausted and then laid down on our backs among the cacti and watched the stars silently for a seeming eternity (i was actually getting kinda bored...) any how, thats not the "moment". we walked back to our tent and everyone else was asleep in their own so we went inside and decided to read. we only had one flashlight so i tied it to the top of the tent. there, silently in the dark, we read our books as the flashlight spotlight swung wildly over us to the gusting wind. it would swing over my book, over hers, along the walls... something about it was eerily special. then we truned off the flashlight and talked about our respective love-lives until we drifted off... do i sound cheesy to you guys? im not spacey really :O i was considering studying in london next year but i just got an offer to be editor of my school newspaper... but i hate it heeeerrrreee!!! and most of my good friends are leaving, help!! any advise? i'll probably stay, live alone, and turn into a bitter hag by the time im 21! im tired and it feels nice............. word. lindsay ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: This will mean nothing to you if you don't like football!
by Jonathan Wren 02 May '98

02 May '98

OK, it's almost World Cup time and I got to thinking about a particular scenario: England/Scotland/whatever country you support/ are in the World Cup Final. You're going to watch the game on TV, or, even better, you have somehow magically got tickets for the match itself. Yet, a day before the game you learn that, on the same night as the World Cup Final, Belle and Sebastian are playing their last ever gig in your hometown. Which would you go to? What made me think of this, I don't know, but it is an interesting quandry in a totally meaningless, hypothetical kind of way. Went to see Catatonia yesterday and they were absolutely fab; one of the best gigs I've *ever* been to, though I haven't seen B&S...yet. Cerys is just an absolute star: someone threw her a cellophane wrapped bunch of daffodils and she was *so* sweet. Aw! Ooh, I've just made my first post for ages and I haven't got anything else to say about my quiet little life, so I think I'll go.
