Sinister: CDZone latest
by Kevan Cooke 01 Aug '98

01 Aug '98

Just an update in the long running saga of CDZone listing non-existent records by Belle & Sebastian... Not only is Modern Rock Song STILL listed, but they have now added an entry for a CD single called Reinventing Punctuation with a release date of 14th of August. Maybe they were attempting to add an entry for the new album and got the title, format, and release date wrong - impressive even for them. The other possibility is that they are aware of a planned single, and have started listing it before it has been confirmed, like they did with Modern Rock Song. Can anyone shed any light on how they might have dreamt this one up? Kevan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I've been on this list for a grand total of two days now. So, if I'm doing anything wrong, please blame it on my virginity and not my stupidity. Anyway, I have never seen B&S live because I am stuck in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but I once had a dream about them, which I will now share with all of you... I'm not sure if it was a good dream or a bad one, but B&S was for some reason opening for Paula Cole. I went to see them alone because my friend had to work the ticket booth. The only other thing that I can remember was that I had no shirt on and keep looking for it. So can anyone tell me what this means? And also why I am remembering it again a good six months later? Oh well, that's all for now. I hope everyone has a nice weekend. KIM ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Tickets for Glasgow!!
by Shearer, Calumn 31 Jul '98

31 Jul '98

Sorry, couldn't resist that subject line (naughty) The trail goes cold, It's Friday Afternoon and I'm going home. Virgin got as far as Banchory Management, (ooh spelling?) Who, like me, are not going to be back at Work 'till Monday. My new found friend at Virgin ticket sales (name withheld to protect the lovely) is going to contact them then. So, looks like I won't know until Tuesday when the tickets will be available. How many people does the Community Center seat? Is Virgin the _sole_ supplier? How many blue smarties _are_ in an average tube? Will opal fruits _ever_ be the same now that they changed their name? <gruff Movie-trailer voiceover>Do you know the answer to any of these questions? Then, citizens, we need your help..... Or at least I do - I haven't had a decent opal fruit in months...

Sinister: are we BEING sinister?
by Shearer, Calumn 31 Jul '98

31 Jul '98

I haven't seen much traffic about the "Glasgow dates" lately, I do hope this isn't some sort of "inner circle conspiracy" to nab all the good seats before us lesser mortals ;-) The venue, I can confirm (but we knew this) _is_ Maryhill community center, Maryhill Road, Glasgow. Please don't phone here as the poor bloke's had quite enough already as you can probably imagine. Anyway, after a nice chat (he knew my dad!) I found out that: the hall has been booked for the 31st August / 1st September and as far as he knows Virgin are "the only" ticket outlet. (you could probably find some in "Just the ticket", but it ain't certain!) I phoned Virgin, and the very helpful girl knew absolutely nothing about it. Other than that she had been getting a few calls from other "investigative pop fans" ! I told her what I could, and she'll get back to me "before the end of the day" with details on ticket availability etc etc. Well, I'll get back to you...

Sinister: slow graffiti
by Graham LeBron 31 Jul '98

31 Jul '98

>It said there doing a track for "The Acid House" film and it'll be >available on the soundtrack next year! Cool huh! I think it was >called "Slow Graffiti" Hey all, will this movie be an international release or will the US have to wait like for 'trainspotting'? I can't wait for that soundtrack, Slow Graffiti is my absolute favorite B&S right now, and I was sad not to see it on the album. My band did a cover of it last nite and afterwards several people asked me what it was so hopefully I'm spreading the B&S love. also, parasol records(www.parasol.com) has the Looper single if you're still having trouble finding it. cheers, g r a m ClubSafeParking, making Houston proud. http://www.navitus.com/csp ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: RE: My god captain! He's de-lurked
by Mark Crutch 31 Jul '98

31 Jul '98

------------------ >My friend Charlotte's a lefty, and very proud of _being_ Sinister instead of >just _feeling_ sinister like us poor dextrous people. I still reckon you're >all in league with the devil, though ;) Tell her to get lurking on alt.lefthanders then, where she'll meet a whole host of similarly proud people (plus a couple of the obligatory pathetic trolls). As for being in league with the devil - let's see; go to heaven, get a cloud, work your way through the ranks like some McDonald's trainee and eventually manage some wings and a harp. Or worse still, you make it all the way to the top and come back as Paul Hogan or the bloke from Highway to Heaven. Not too promising really. Hell, on the other hand: full of murderers (and worse) but you're already dead, so i would imagine that they're all sitting in a corner getting depressed. Meanwhile there's all the bondage gear you could shake a cat at, and all those people that were too busy having fun on a Sunday morning to get themselves down to the local church. I think I'll go for the latter. As you may have guessed, as well as feeling (and being) sinister, I am a hopeless unbeliever - though I don't find it actually causes any pain, so can survive quite adequately without being administered to by a minister or two. >> I'm even using left-handedness as the subject of my second novel (and yes, >Yes, but if you're going to plug yr website, it might be wise to actually >give the URL as well ;) Hmmm... it looks like someone unplugged their server just as my message was going through, sending my sig plunging into the darkest depths of the back of the sofa. As my email client is convinced it sent it out, I can only guess that either it's lying, or it was trimmed off at some point, so on the basis that it doesn't make it this time either, try the following:- www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~xav The link to the stories and novel is fairly obvious, and if any of you are unsure whether or not to take the plunge and have a read, there are also a selection of quotes from people who did, so you can get a feel for people's opinions of my stuff. >I'd like to read your poor unfortunate novel, so... Well, I hope you enjoy it - but be warned, it's about 200,000 words long and prints out at about a ream on single sided, default courier font from most printers. Well worth it though, but then I would say that. I like to think it's somewhere between Terry Pratchett and JRR Tolkien (funnier than the latter, but a better plot (i.e. it has one!) than the former). Other people have other ideas though, so check out the quotes. >> Xav >I thought it was Mark. Could this be a cunning pseudonym? Well it was more cunning in the past: on account of having a stupid surname which is all too easy to track down if someone takes offence, experience has shown me that a pseudonym can be useful, so when I got on the internet I used the name of the "character" I play in my band, Xavier Moonchild & The Rumpy Pumpy Lovesticks - hence Xav. Recently, however, I've started using a PDA to access my mail, news, etc., and the damned thing insists on sending out my real name all the time. >Bonjour et au revoir, Vale et vale (I think - I told you, I haven't done Latin for 9 years, still, sic biscitus disintegrat) Xav (or Mark, or hairy, or whatever; it's only a label, it has no soul, what do I care what you call me) -- xav(a)compsoc.man.ac.uk http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~xav "It hath whirred into life" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Eighties pop tapes
by Mark Casarotto 31 Jul '98

31 Jul '98

Hallo again. I am currently in possession of the tapes that Andreas very kindly put together to give us non-completists a taste of eighties pop, and I'm not sure who I should be sending them on to. If I'm just being dense and there's a list or something, or if anyone wants them next, mail me and I'll send them on to you - albeit with sadness, as there's some fab stuff on them. I hope you're all ready to propel Salako into the Hit Parade in a fortnight's time - don't forget, Salako LPs make great Christmas presents! And coasters! And novelty greeting cards! And 20 tracks - what value, eh? Is anyone thinking of organising any kind of trip from London to Notts/Leeds gigs at all? Could be fun in a Cliff Richard stylee...
