Sinister: B&S dream and other stuff...
by Stephane Buron 14 Jun '98

14 Jun '98

Hi! It's raining in Paris, again and again... Maybe that's the reason why I'm listening all day to Belle & Sebastian, maybe that's why I HAD MY FIRST B&S DREAM YESTERDAY!!! Unfortunately, it was very very short. I was with my girlfriend by the sea (in a small village where we were a few weeks ago), doing nothing but having something to drink. The weather was beautiful, it was warm and yet cool, the end of the day. And a young blond boy came and met us : he sat with us on the terrace. In fact, it was Stuart M, Stuart when he was about 14... He was reading the NME. On the cover of the magazine, the Sundays. And suddenly, he said he didnt like this band. .. I was disappointed. That's it... A question now, with no B&S content : i'd like to go to Scotland in august in order to improve my english. Do you know if there's any college or university or anything that's organising english courses for adults and foreigners??? It could be either in Glasgow or in Edinburgh, i dont mind, and i'd like to stay there two weeks. Thanks a lot!!!

hello. i have never heard this arab strap band you people seem to always be on about, but noticed in cmj new music that matador took out an ad saying that it (as well as pussy galore and the pizzicato 5 and others) should not be listened to by minors because they're intended for minors. i hate people that say such things. matt (by the way, if you dont mind discussing such things with minors, are they really worth it? or should i get something better instead... keep in mind i have no money) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: The WiderThe Wider Issues Of The Day
by jon g. 13 Jun '98

13 Jun '98

Hey Kids! Exams are almost nearly over, so expect an overdose of kids-tv related postings in about a week's time. Ok, currently worrying jon g. and bethey: * The new album by B&S will be here in the future. * Having become totally obsessed with the afore mentioned 'pop group', for example getting really excited when Wrong Love was played on the radio, how are we going to cope with 10+ new tracks? * Will we have to limit ourselves to 1 track per week? * Maybe buy it on CD as well as vinyl and use intro play to gradually introduce the tracks to our minds. * In short, it's going to be too darn exciting for some of us (well, me). What am I going to do? Did anyone hear the live music update on thursday night on radio one? The band to watch were Salako (however you spell it), the latest signing to Jeepster. The track they talked over sounded quite good. Most exciting of all, Mark Jones spoke! It was well exciting (see what I mean about being obsessed!). Apparently, they don't like playing live, which is nice. Then the bloke from the band said that he was listening to the Sound Of Music soundtrack a lot at the moment, which granted him instant credability with myself, as it is a great film, as I'm sure you'll agree. Then he said most of his influences were stuff he found when walking around, like the sky. He mentioned foxes, which was also very exciting. I'll shut up now. Wow! Someone else started a kids tv thread in the form of Count Duckula. All I have to say on the issue is: Goodnight, wherever you are! (said in a spooky voice. sort of). >I've just arrived fresh from the Tindersticks mailing list where it's all doom >and gloom and discussions on whether Nick Cave or Tom Waits is more fun. and it's all on-topic. I unsubscribed quickly. It wasn't much fun. Stars In Their Eyes final is taking place as I speak. How thrilling. I can't remember what I was going to say. Oh yes, I can. Oh no I can't. Ho-hum. Oh yeah, Aya wrote: <deleted> Wow. Yet more multi-lingual, yet indecipherable communication. Right. Well. Yeah. Wherever I go, I hear the claps in Lazy Line Painter Jane.

Sinister: FRENCH KISS
by email 13 Jun '98

13 Jun '98

FRENCH KISS Hello Hello I'm julien a french listener of B&S from the south of France. I met the l.p. If you feeling sinistre by a day of April 1997.I mean it was a real date, a romantic rendez-vous! Actually I know, it's pretty late, but B&S's album just began to be sold in french music stores.Anyway I was so proud to find such a songwriter, as emotionnal as Serge Gainsbourg was & is for me (Do B&S fans appreciate Serge Gainsbourg).I have so many questions to ask... sorry for this first one maybe silly but I'm a rookie: Is the name of the band related to he french comic "Belle et Sebastien"? Could it be seen on british channels? (Stupid question but important for me right!) In a french magazine it was wrote that Stuart Murdoch and Elliott Smith are the most talented songwritter of the decade; both of them are really influenced by Nick Drake...What do you think of that?Last question, how did Stuart Murdoch participate to Philophobia the magnifique alcooholic l.p. of Arab Strap? I had a ( bad) dream last night: I saw scottish supporters showing their genital trophy under their kilt, in Paris, singing B&S songs!?! Your new teammate, Julien

Yes it looks like Scotland >will not progress to the second round, still Adrian's point about us being >bollocks doesn't really stand, in a country of about 6 million people, we do >very well to even qualify - and your team's shit... by the way. The Spanish TV expert kept going on about Scotland's lack of skill and ability - as if that matters! He obviously fails to grasp a very basic piece of Scottish wisdom, a phrase I heard several hundred times when I wwent to see Scotland against Italy at Ibrox - quite simply, these fancy teams from exotic places "don't like it up 'em". Brazil certainly seemed uncomfortable with it up 'em the other day. I'm looking forward to Holland - Belgium tonight. The other great thing about the World Cup is that the atmosphere is highly reminiscent of international It's A Knockout, complete with airhorns. And I'd just like to reassure Anna(?) - it doesn't depend on nationalistic fervour, far from it. I like football, I like the World Cup, but I'm in no way nationalistic. My irrational love of the Style Council made sure I stood up proud and declared myself Internationalist. Nationalism's pish. oooh - bit of politices there. Speaking of which, I was amazed to see bloody Ben Elton still on telly. I really do think he should stand aside and make way for some bright young talent, such as our very own Dave. >ps: London list people, some of us are out for a night out in Glasgow this >weekend, so I hereby declare a competition to see who can have the most fun. >Reports on Monday morning please. My money's on the Glasgow mob. Unless the Londoners get their Kerplunks out. Elisabeth from Canada can say the word "Genevieve" without making it sound like a Rick Wakeman b-side.

So they did very well indeed. Despite the fact that footy smells of poo, I watched the Scotland match with a couple of (English) friends. Everyone agreed that "the boys done well"(TM), but when asked about England's chances suggested it was a pity that Sweden hadn't qualified, 'coz as everyone knows, English strikers know how to beat the Swedes. Fnar fnar. Actually, it's not funny. Apparently Stan Collymore knocked Ulrikakakakaka to the ground and kicked her in the head. Good on the lass for dumping him pronto. Probably did less damage to the head than listening to Sean Connery at the karaoke would've, though. > I can't believe I just talked about football, what's got into me! For the next month it'll be that and Wimbledon. > B&S content - Bugger. I don't have any of that. > Any London Listies fancy getting together a huge Scottish contingent for > the next match, and finding a decent pub with some decent Scottish beer? > (is that a contradiction in terms?) I'll have you know, my lass, that my pint of 80 could beat any fancy pants beer in an arm wrestle with it's hands tied behind it's back. If it had hands.

Sinister: ranty melons
by Honey 13 Jun '98

13 Jun '98

Hey! Take a look at http://www.angelfire.com/sd/TechnoWonderland/Rant.html It's a good laugh - a rant about how SHIT Belle and Sebastian are - well it cheered up my tired and rather low Friday afternoon. Example: "Belle and Sebastian are turgid pop execrement accidentally diverted from the planet Crap". I love the deliberate spelling typos and the nicked flying pig background that makes it unreadable. Great stuff. Most impressive is a reply from "someone" called "Susannah" from "London" in defence of B&S which doesn't contain the words "wank" or "arsebiscuits". Actually I nicked that last word from Linda, who says it all day long at the moment but she's too shy to post it to the list. Or indeed anything. OK - a few more boring things I'm afraid. For newcomers, hello, stand by your beds for trouser inspection, and please remember that you can search for questions that might have been asked before by the "Search" link on my WWW page for the list (see footer of this message). Please take a look at the site when you join - there's also a few lists of Frequently Asked Questions and loads of other stuff, well, a bit. Oh, and someone somewhere has got something configured very strangely in their mail program. This isn't very helpful is it? But I've received a few nearly blank messages with "Read: " in the subject and I suspect some of you are too. I think someone has turned on read receipts from their mailer or something and it's not working probably. Or something - can anyone shed any light? Finally - Tag I am admittedly voluptuous, but I am in fact a brunette. I do however have lovely melons which I am happy to let Trousers look at if he forms an orderly queue with the others and keeps his hands out of his pockets. honey xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
