It sounds bad.It's the list isn't it? Someone else's ego's been trodden on.Everyone's so grumpy these days. Cheer up! Anyway, while I'm on the subject, is anyone on the list telepathic? Statistically, there must be some. It's hard to tell. I used to think that everyone who wore navy-blue was telepathic, 'til I got some navy-blue socks, and I realised that I was wrong. Noisy pubs are OK, if you're in a shop,or a busy street, you can think about what ever you like, and train tunnels too, but anywhere else, I reckon they can hear you think all the time. And if they make eye-contact, they can read your whole brain like a bus timetable. Anyway, telepaths, let me know the limits of your powers, I'm curious. Did anyone else know that Bryan MacLean from Love auditioned for the Monkees? I didn't. The Monkees are my new favourite thing. I love them. They kick ass.

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Hello everybody ! I've just joined the Sinister mailing list. My name is Julien, I'm 25, I'm French and I live in Paris. I discovered Belle and Sebastian one year ago, and it has been a real shock for me. I think they are the best group in the world since the Pixies, even if I don't understand a word of what they are singing (but maybe someone could explain to me the subject of several songs) ! My favorite song is... I think it's impossible for me to choose. Belle and Sebastain are coming in France in october. Today I've bought my ticket for their first gig in Paris (october 6)and I've heard some songs of the new album. The second song of this album is one the greatest I've ever heard... I'm really excited by this gig ! Au revoir _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: Glasgow on Monday
by Linda Kerr 29 Aug '98

29 Aug '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Just to let you know, Chris Leonard is meeting list member Dear chaps Oon-from-Thailand off the 3.17 train at Central Station on Monday. Honey and I will probably go as well, and then the suggestion is to get something to eat/drink in Java and the surrounding area (unless anyone has any other suggestions)and go on to the "gig". Chris want more people to meet Oon so that it looks like he has lots of friends. Meet at John Smiths at 6.30? Let me or Chris know who's going to turn up. Does this sound like a reasonable paln?

Sinister: a q review
by Colin Campbell 29 Aug '98

29 Aug '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* being the ageing hipster he is, my dad, subscribes to Q magazine, it arrived today and included this review of the boy with the arab strap: in red letters at the top:"Third album fromthe world's mostintrospective and publicity shy band. Allegedly" and then: "Despite making music that conjures up images of sandals, cardigans, and straw protruding from crooked teeth, Belle & sebastian, a chronically shy Glaswegian septet, are nevertheless a quietly wondrous proposition. Unashamedly folk, their songs are as fractured as Nick Drake's and as lyricallysharp as anything that ever came from morrisey's nib, while singer Stuart Murdoch has a voice thatis pithched half way between Donovan and a church mouse. As with previous outings, this record is all aural eggshels andemmotional hesitancy, demanding a certainpatience frm the listener. And although there's nothing to match the sheer ebulience of earlier single Lazy Line Painter Jane, there's still ample evidence here to suggest they're capable of producing a classic before very long." The reviewer, nick duerden, gives it 4 stars, which is the same as the manics album gets, only they get a whole page and a big picture, and a big article as well, but B&S'll lick em in the charts. on other matters, the new chart show replacement is crap, electrasy, suggs, faithless, moby, bollocks, even the chart show was better. And jeepster what's with the cheapo packaging on the salako album, it'll go all skanky, but the contents are good. my appologies for talking shite. please dont look at my home page, if you appreciate quality, easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~zulu/ see you tommorow glasgowing peeps colin. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Listen, this is pish, I'm leaving...
by Stuart Gardiner 29 Aug '98

29 Aug '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Why is it that at every gig I've been to in Cambridge recently, there's been a bloke in the audience waving a sink plunger? This is getting beyond bizarre. I think we need a prize for whoever waves the most surreal item at the gigs next week... Well anyway, the summer has come to an end (albeit the clodest and wettest summer for about 10 years... So much for global warming...), and I finished work yesterday. So now I'm going back to my parents' place in Yorkshire for the next month. Unfortunately you can't get rid of me that easily, as I'll still see loads of you hopefully at the gigs next weekend; but I'm departing from the list as of, ooh, about 30 minutes time. Be good while I'm gone, don't do anything I wouldn't do... If anyone wants to get in touch (about the gigs for example...) you can try my other address The_Tall_Git(a)hotmail.com which might get to me sooner, or if it's urgent, like you need somewhere to stay near Leeds or something, email Ed Mason on emason(a)move.u-net.com who's got my phone number (I'm sure he won't mind!) And remember, if you see a devilishly handsome virile young man at any of the gigs, it won't be me. But if you see someone ridiculously tall it probably will be, so come and say hello!

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* *---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* *---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER DADDIES *---* OK, in a time of general festivities, and because there appear to be a startling number of Birthdays and Anniversaries springing up out the ground, and just 'cos I felt like it ;-) Calumn's Review of the Last Month Of The Belle And Sebastian Mailing List A.K.A The "Sinister" Mailing List pish no, seriously - I joined the List just over a month ago and since then, it's been.... well, real nice. We've had a fair few list "topics " along the way - the tape tree (I really need to get on that, at some point - although my eclectic taste might confuse your poor innocent souls) Naked Dreams (or dreaming naked?), Chris Leonard's Competition (Hi Chris - I slept!) that I'm waiting for with great suspense (I _want_ that Elvis Picture!), Couple of US Picnics, Chris's *Revised* Competition, I got an e-mail slap for suggesting digital bootlegs (It's not big and It's not Clever, Kids!) but I've learned my lesson, Chris's *final revision ever, honest* Competition , A Salako Single and the album to follow... confirmation that "CDZONE" don't know one band from another ("b&s / salako - they're both on jeepster, so they _must_ be the same band"?!?!?) a great deal of posts RE: whether or not Ben Folds Five of anything (he does!), a list of list songs and slagging off Ro**ing St**e magazine , Keithy's mysterious batteries!, Honey's *brilliant* un-digest!, the scoop for Looper at "The Beatroom" ('twas cool!) , XFM's demise, Todd's Ironic songs..., oh.. and a couple of b&s gigs and a new album..... So... Happy List Birthday, Honey Keep it up, don't stop the chat and I'm going to get ready for my Birthday, and the Monday gig (meet-up anywhere?) Long live the list! cal I _do_ love anyone.... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Monday Glasgow Gig Meet up
by Chris Leonard 29 Aug '98

29 Aug '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Hello there! Right here's a plan for Monday for those who are going to the Glasgow gig. We meet in the Java Cafe on Gibson Street at 16:30 hours. How's that? They sometimes have food, if not there's a take away next door and ho ho a pub. For those who don't know how to get there I shall now tell you. Get the Underground to Kelvinbridge; it's dead close to there. Leave the station by the main exit i.e. go up the big escalator to Great Western Road. Turn right and walk smartly to the traffic lights. Turn right again and you should be able to see the park. Walk right down this road and try not to be distracted by the "World of Video" shop. Java cafe is at the far corner, across from the church. If anyone's coming can you mail me today or tomorrow so we can keep an eye out for you. And it's nearly competition deadline time, you'd better get the finger out. And I just got the wee tam/big huge string band original first pressing vinyl record, so I'm chirpy. chirp. incredible string chris +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
