26 May '98

hi everyone, i'm pretty new, and i realised i never really introduced myself, so i guess i'll go ahead...well i'm a 22 year old girl who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, i move up here from L.A. just last year, because of work... i'm an animator at Pixar animation studios (the company that made Toy Story) a lot of people don't know what it is. anyways besides drawing and visual art... music definetly takes up most of my time. luckily i have a job where i can listen to cd's all day. i probably am spending half my paycheck on cd's lately. oh well what good does money do if you don't spend it, right? obviously i really like Belle & Sebastian, besides them some other bands i like are the smiths and morrissey, gene, elastica, suede, pulp, sleeper, stone roses... eh you get the idea. hm kinda boring message. oh well. i also play bass guitar...so if anyone wants to jam ever, let me know. -tasha p.s. Sarah Wheeler: "I never made a mistake in my life. I thought I did once, but I was wrong." i apologise for my ignorance, but where did you get this quote? its good... -- Tasha Wedeen tasha(a)pixar.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Gubbins
by Barrett R 26 May '98

26 May '98

Someone mentioned Gorky's the other day, so I need no more excuse than that to tell everyone how absolutely wonderful they were the other night in Dublin. Loads of new stuff so catchy I was singing along after 30 seconds, most of the best stuff off "Barafundle" and the great "Heart Of Kentucky" to finish off. I don't know why Gorky's don't get mentioned more on the list, because to me they are one of the few bands who manage to do something completely different to anyone else and yet remain catchy and accessible - just like B&S. And the new single's great. Space were really good in Dublin last weekend too, but I'm not sure that you're allowed like Space on this list. Am I right? Thanks to another listee, I finally got to hear what all the fuss about "loneliness Of The Middle Distance Runner" was about. It's great stuff, as is the rest of that Scottish session, and I've been listening to nothing else for 3 days solid. I think the reason the list hasn't been getting too excited about the new album yet is that there are still no definite dates for it yet, but if this stuff is anything to go by it'll be just as great as the other two. Though "professional" is a bit of a worrying word to describe them. Begging time: are there any French listees out there who might be able to give me details of hostels,camp sites, places to go, record shops even,etc in Toulouse, Bordeaux and Paris as I'm heading over for a couple of World Cup games and I have done NOTHING about getting organised. All help gratefully received. Finally, welcome back to David & Katrina. It wasn't the same without you. Any word on when t-shirts might be available? I've said too much already Ronan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

RE: Sinister: a reminder of who you are and what you want to be
by Chris Leonard 26 May '98

26 May '98

Monsieur JJ : >>May I just remind all you UK residents that on BBC2 tonight at 10pm, they >>are repeating the outstanding 'I'm Alan Partridge', so if you missed one or, >l>ike me, just want to watch them again, REMEMBER IT's ON! While we're at it may I do a reminder too, that may be of some interest to someone somewhere in the UK. I noticed last night "That Sinking Feeling" is on tomorrow afternoon, on channel 5. Which is a total bugger really, since I live in the wilderness and don't get channel 5. But anyway, "That Sinking Feeling" was Bill Forsyth's first film I believe, the immediate predecessor to "Gregory's Girl". And it's lovely, though not quite as lovely. It also stars Robert Buchanun (Andy in GG) and I like him. So tape it or something. If you don't like it you have permission to spank me. No you don't. Yes you do. ALSO A crowd of us went to that Serge Gainsbourg thing on Friday which was quite magnificent. Stevie B&S played on a few songs, then sang one all by himself which was utterly charming. However I got somewhat sidetracked when Keith started kicking himself up the arse for no apparent reason.

Sinister: Oh, my aching thighs
by Michael Jones 26 May '98

26 May '98

Y'know, the last time I felt this way post-football, I fell down a flight of stairs at my old workplace, after which they put up a plaque reminding people to use the handrail. A legacy of sorts... Thanks to everyone for another memorable picnic... and it *was* more of a picnic this time, last time it felt like an *event*... less people, but now we're all friends, getting to know each other's quirks, foibles and failings and, hey, maybe even, together, learnin' just a little more about this crazy old world of ours. Respect is due: Rory (goalie and a half), Joe (impromptu Bunnymen acoustic mini-set), Shelley & Katrina (the best lemony coconut sponge-type things *I've* ever tasted), Susannah (for demonstrating how to dispose of said items in an ecologically-sound manner, oh, and for breaking *sixteen* of my ribs in one minor midfield skirmish), Elisabeth (dog-rustling), Gerard (bike-rustling), Trousers (a veritable smoke-free zone), whoever suggested the whole celeb-name pub-game thing and the sliding-through-legs thing (all new to me; a sheltered life, clearly) and so many, many others... Big up the Blue Soda massive. David and Katrina is proper tings. Mike x. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I think it took about 20 seconds. I once had a test where I was forced to do a real emergency stop within spitting distance of the test centre. I did it alright, I just don't think the examiner was most impressed when I asked him if we could change the test route to go past my house so I could change my underwear. I failed. >The second time I was failed for undue hesitation, for stopping at a >roundabout to see if anything was coming, how harsh is that?
