Sinister: you can concentrate on the ones you love
by JonnyKat＠aol.com 22 Aug '98

22 Aug '98

greetings and hugs to all fellow listees... as this is my firsto posto, perhaps some background is on order? my name's jonny and i live in brooklyn, NYC. (yank) i live in what has become an artist/musician/film community called williamsburg. b+s have many happy listeners here! we are looking forward to their visit someday and i will be organizing a gathering of some kind, so... write to me if you're interested. : ) (note my deliberate vagueness, Mondo Pox) hmmm... let's see, how else can i bore you? oh, yes, i am a musician. i have a little thing called Fire Drill which encompasses all sorts of good-vibe things. speaking of good things, i had the pleasure of meeting jess online -- what a sweetheart! anyone else with AOL IM , ICQ, or anything else feel free to contact me. thanks for reading, and more importantly: thanks for making me smile on a daily basis! i bet you all didn't even know you did that! -- jonny i leave you with a poem: We Have Lost Even We have lost even this twilight. No one saw us this evening hand in hand while the blue night dropped on the world. I have seen from my window the fiesta of sunset in the distant mountain tops. Sometimes a piece of sun burned like a coin between my hands. I remembered you with my soul clenched in the sadness of mine that you know. Where were you then? Who else was there? Saying what? Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly when I am sad and feel you are far away? The book fell that is always turned to at twilight and my cape rolled like a hurt dog at my feet. Always, always you recede through the evenings towards where the twilight goes erasing statues. -- Pablo Neruda +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Cockernee scumbag puts in his two-cents worth

It was a shock when Mark and Lard finished, imagine a whole station going belly up! 'Ok', say sarah and everyone else outside the M25, 'but why should I give a fuck?' And fair enough. You don't have to care. You just have to realise that Xfm's death is another sign of indie failure, that it brands us as losers, a tag that I thought we didn't deserve. Xfm gave massive exposure to bands like, hey, Salako, Snow Patrol and Belle and Sebastian, and helped them sell more records, and establish them as, erm, moderately known bands. What happens to the next generation of Jeepster signings? You won't hear them on 1fm, certainly not before Midnight, anyway. Most of all, it's a sign of the growing chasm between 'their' music and 'ours'. Without a voice in the heart of Europe's music industry, there's nowhere indie can go except back into it's ghetto. Which means more of your favourite bands being dropped from majors, record shops going to the wall, and ten more years of shit on the TV and radio. But hey, I don't care, 'cause I don't live in london... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------- sorry if all that's a bit bitchy-I'm not picking on anyone in particular, it's just I think I've seen the future. And it's a bit shitty. I wouldn't continue this thread if I didn't think it had relevance to the theme of the list which is 'People who like Belle and Sebastian', isn't it? And i think it does. Anyway, bye bye Seb (also from Tonbridge Kent! now this is what I call a cultural wasteland, Kim) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Gigs
by Stuart Gardiner 22 Aug '98

22 Aug '98

Not much of interest to non-UK listees I'm afraid... Firstly, I can put a few people up after the Leeds gig. My parents' house is half an hour's drive away, which isn't ideal, but I'll have a car and some spare mattresses... (I really ought to check with my parents first, but they won't mind and I don't think they're even going to be there) Priority to anyone who can offer a floor to sleep on after the Nottingham or London gigs, if I don't find somewhere to stay in the next week I won't be able to go! Which pub are we going to meet up in before the Leeds and Nottingham gigs then? Oh yeah, and Spaceboy Dream reminds me strongly of one of the tracks B&S picked when they were interviewed on Beat Patrol last Christmas. As for wearing badges to spot each other, just look up and you'll be able to find me...

Hey kids, Don't feel sad when you see me unsubscribing to sinister, because I am in the process of moving everything over to my new e-mail account (Yes, I resubscribed). Please don't send anything to the old e-mail address, as it will be phased out in a matter of days. (I guess my alma mater found out I graduated, so no more e-mail!) And Honeypaul, I think I might change your name to FunnyPaul. Whaddaya say? :) Love, Miss Erin ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Asian Tour [sighs] If only
by Richard Lander 22 Aug '98

22 Aug '98

Yung Shue Wan (the village where we live on Lamma Island) would be great for an outdoor gig. The only problem would be there are so few flat open spaces here. Theres our beach which is twenty five minutes walk away from the village or the football pitch in the village. The only problem is that if there is a medical emergency here the helicopter that is used for the airlift lands on the football pitch. Still it would be a great place for a concert, there are a few happenings that take place on beaches here, organised by the remaining heads whose visas have got extended. Anyone who doesn't believe we live on an island which is as rural as Hong Kong is urban can get in touch with me privately and I will email a photo of the village.

Sinister: Results
by kenny 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

Hi listees; Well my results are in and I got an A and 2 B's. I'd been predicted 3A's so they're a bit of a disapointment. Especially seeing as I'm having to wait until tomorrow to see if Bristol are going to take me(you see I needed 2A's and a B) Even worse is the fact that those bastards at the marking centre have decided not to include some of my coursework in the grade, so one of those B's should be an A, but I'm not sure if those tossers are going to raise the grade. (Thanks cal for the words of support!) Still never mind "IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BRILLIANT CAREER" I'm coming back from holiday the day of the London gig so I'm going to grab a tube from the airport to the concert. If the plane is delayed I'm buggered big style! Don't suppose you could stall the band until I arrive? Just a thought! Sorryaboutthisbutisaweveryoneelsedoingthissoithoughtihadbetterhaveagoandfoll owthetrend. Now then that's out of my system. As I was saying I'm going to the London show and I'm all up for wearing a name badge, just like on your first day at school. In fact I'm gonna wear 2 badges, one with my name on, the other is a proper yellow badge with the dog from the back cover of Dog on Wheels on, NOWTHATSWHATICALLSTYLE! Cheers then (just got to what until tomorrow afternoon when Bristol decide whether they want me. They must do. They must do. They must do. lets see if that message has got through to them) Jake +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
