Sinister: a reminder of who you are and what you want to be
by Jackson,John 26 May '98

26 May '98

Hello kids 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, like me, just want to watch them again, REMEMBER IT's ON!

Sinister: peekneek
by poetryplace2 26 May '98

26 May '98

Another bank holiday, another picnic... Once again, a gang of us met up on Primrose Hill yesterday for the second London alfresco shindig. A few highlights for you... # David and Gerard stealing some poor medical students' bikes and bombing round the park in an attempt to break the speedometers # Unsteady Elisabeth stealing some dogs # Rory 'The Cat' Mackie's astounding performance between the sticks in the five-a-side match # Aussie Shelley claiming the highly coveted 'Player of the Match' trophy for scoring five goals in one game # Sabine acting the cultural ambassador and judging the petanque matches with l'insouciance francaise # Everybody ignoring my rather pathetic drunken plea that we play kiss chase # Steady Mike buying about 40,000 bags of crisps # Linda inducting us into the mysteries of bloody marys Well, it was another grand day, and the weather turned out to be just fine. Hats off, once again to the Blue Soda crew. There was some speculation at one point that the next picnic should be held in Brighton, in an attempt to cause some kind of mod mayhem at the seaside and maybe inviting the members of the Arab Strap list to a big scrap on the pier. Can I just mention that Blue Soda social will be taking a well-earned break this Friday... we should be back again the following week (June 5)... Til next time...

Message text written by "Johnston, John CT" > my mate had a similar problem with his cat in Glasgow. He loved ice hockey as a kid but he didn't want to stand on his doorstep shouting "Gretzky! Gretzky" at the top of his voice - so he called it "Bossy" instead. Go figure.< hmmm, well my cat's called Whisky, so the people in my street probably think i'm an alcoholic, going out most nights wandering the streets shouting "Whisky!" at the top of my voice in a Father Jack stylee. Isn't Graham Coxon's cat called Bastard? that would be amusing... Debbie xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: St Bruno Hand rubbed Shag
by Johnston, John CT 26 May '98

26 May '98

Oh dear, I think I'm turning into dimunitive Brit DJ Bruno Brooks - I keep hearing kerazeeee "twisted lyrics" in todays pop charts. First that Madonna with her hymn to Brookside's erstwhile lipstick-lesbian "Anna Friel" in the chorus to "ray of Light". And then Mr Busta (LeAnne) Rhymes in his Knight Rider sampling new hit keeps shouting "Fido! Fido!" - it's obviously a story of loosing his dog one day and going on a desparate search. Choosing a name for a dog if you live in the 'hood must be dead tricky. I mean if your standing outside your house shouting for it you'll want it to have a tuff name and not something that might prompt your neighbours to think you were anything less than the dopest flyest O.G. mofo in town. If your dog's called Mr Woof Woof people might think you were a tad whack. my mate had a similar problem with his cat in Glasgow. He loved ice hockey as a kid but he didn't want to stand on his doorstep shouting "Gretzky! Gretzky" at the top of his voice - so he called it "Bossy" instead. Go figure. Now - can anyone help me with a music tip ; "Boards of Canada" (or whatever they are called) --- bangin' or bollox? I've heard they are from Edinburgh and make twiddly techno high in the lofty (hem hem) Pentland hills. And they say Canada in their name so that's another good thing. Edinburgh and Canada - that's most of my favourite things catered for - if they ever do a song called "tea-time choccy biccies" I'll be in heaven. sorry for the lack of content I just needed to share. xx John ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: all good things come in threes...
by Alexandre P. Tobin 26 May '98

26 May '98

This is my last flailing attempt to send this to the mailing list, as it's oh-so bloody-well embarassing. Hi! I'm Alex, male, and soon to be 26. I was originally planning to move to Europe on the 1st of June, but - alas! - am at the whim and extreme ditherings of both my future (i hope!) university and the Belgian Embassy. Plainly said: It is taking me a bit longer than expected to get my student visa for Belgium. I probably won't be able to leave before the 15th now... Now the real corker (and the truly embarassing bit) comes: I have finally been able to get somebody to take over my lease on my apartment. This would ordinarily be good news, but it now means I have to move out on the 1st, meaning I shall have to go live under a bridge and in a cardboard box. My question: Is there any kind soul in the Washington, DC, area that wouldn't mind taking me in for a week or two. I am clean, housebroken, can even cook a bit and would love to do the dishes. Plus, I am more than willing to chip in for rent, as I hate to impose on anyone, especially not for free. I would be ever-so grateful, as this has been a truly horrid month for me. Trust me, this is a last resort. I am completely sane (I hope some people in sinister can vouch for me. Right, Laurel?!! Sarah?!!) and not much of a bother to be around at all. So, please please please, if there is somebody out there, please drop me an e-mail or give me a ring at 301.887.1262. I would be ever so grateful. This wee lad just wants to get back to Europe to his mummy. Sorry if this is the 3rd such message you receive! Just having posting problems on the list... Thanks very much.

Sinister: sometimes be surly
by Runegg 26 May '98

26 May '98

Have I become surly? I left town for beautiful Adirondacks and spent the weekend on a 110-year-old guideboat. It was a clear and windy weekend, and someone's dock was floating around the lake of its own will. Much as the speedboaters are an annoying breed, I figured it was too much punishment to have them die by slamming into a half-submerged floating dock, so I towed the thing with this rowboat, one inch at a time, to the side of the lake. Then, still exhausted, I come across an earnest bearded couple (she was bearded too) next to a canoe; actually the canoe was one inch from sunk, and the travellers were treading water in their pants and sneakers, trying to save their Nikon from drowning. Well so here was tow-job number two. Part of me felt heroic, but once I got canoe to shore (it was like trying to drag an elephant), I got surly; the couple thanked me and I just nodded and kept rowing. Later on I felt bad--shouldn't I have given them a big smile and "it could've happened to anyone"? No. It was more fun to be surly. What does this have to do with Belle and Sebastian? Nothing, except I came home to so much Sinister mail, I had to write back (fight back?) --Vladimari ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Er, oh crumbs...
by Patrick 26 May '98

26 May '98

Hallo there, hallo, can anyone hear me? I'm not actually on this list, I'm on the Divine Comedy list Europop, but there seems to be a huge overlap between the two so I hope no one minds me butting in too much... I'd just like to take this chance to advertise a Belle & Sebastian fanzine a friend of mine has been working on for donkey's years and has just managed to finally get it printed. I told the E-poppers that she was a bit despondent about selling more than a handful of copies, and they suggested I tell you about it, so here I am... It's called "Bus Stop", it's by a lurvely gal called Kristen and you can get your mitts on a copy by sending £1 and an A5 SAE to: Bus Stop, 19 Caburn Heights Southgate West, Crawley West Sussex, RH11 8QX Although I'd be the first to hold my hand up to accusations of bias, it really is a jolly good read, including things like: -an exclusive interview with Mark Radcliffe on why he loves B&S (no, honestly) -why Buses are the new rock'n'roll -that Roald Dahl/B&S link explained in full and if that hasn't got you going, take a look at Rathmines' sister site which has a lot of other stuff about this fab fanzine: http://users.aol.com/catharton/busstop/ Ding ding! -Patrick Rathmines: http://users.aol.com/catharton/divinecomedy/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
