Hi sinister boys and girls, Me and a friend are going to the Nottingham gig in a car, and we don't know how to do it. Please help us!! If anyone could send us some decent directions for simpletons t'would be much appreciated. We'll be coming from Birmingham if that helps any. Also, is there anything happening in Nottingham after the gig? Listees meeting up? Anything? If not, could anyone suggest any lovely places to while away the wee hours? thanks lovelies Molly xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: American Radio and TV Commercials - Double Take
by Samiam 16 Aug '98

16 Aug '98

Currently, TV commercials in America feature much better music than what's played on 'progressive' radio. My local stations are full of Matchbox 20 and Three Blind Mice (slag intended) -- they all sound the same. Sometimes my cynical side wants Belle & Sebastian to remain on the fringe successwise, because they're too good for American radio. If B&S decide what sort of commercial to have their music played with, I wonder what sort of products they would endorse? If it hasn't been already answered (I'm way behind on Sinister digests), the Dream Academy called it quits in '91 after the 'different kind of weather' album.

Sinister: Fiery Breeze (non-B&S)
by Samiam 16 Aug '98

16 Aug '98

My first Ink Polaroid... I was driving through the somewhat smoggy, humid streets of downtown Washington D.C. when a pastel blue 1960s' convertible stopped next to me. The two passengers were middle aged gentlemen, the passenger's arm sloped behind the driver's headrest, exposing his thick, slug-like burly fingers. My eyes wandered from his hand down the driver's side door where I saw the nameplate of the car, 'Galaxie 500'. It reminded me of Kramer's 'come breathe the fiery breeze' on Galaxie 500's boxset. I'm really diggin' this tape tree thingy. I'd heard of the Pernice Brothers before, but not actually heard them. I fancy 'Clear Spot', it is a gem. Sam 'A six pack in the fridge a good book on the shelf tonight I think I fancy myself.' P.D.

Sinister: looper
by Erin Lewis 16 Aug '98

16 Aug '98

Hey kids, I have never heard Looper, so I cannot confirm the following statement, but I thought it was funny enough to post to the list. In the Aquarius Records newsletter for this month, the Looper single is listed for $3.99, and it's description is: "If I had nothing better to do than shoot up and mumble into a 4 track all day, I'd be an indie rock superstar by now. Maybe if I was Scottish... P.S.: Looper is Stuart David of Belle & Sebastian." Sorry Honeypaul, but I had nothing else to say to make this letter a collaborative effort. I owe ya one. -Miss Erin, who gives Tony Kiewel's mix tape 5 stars +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: DOH!

Sorry everyone, I posted something without first deleting all the stuff I didn't want to quote. In my defence I must say i'm an arse for doing e-mail when i'm knackered and should be trying to get some sleep. Please leave my kneecaps where they are, for I need them to get me around.

>Hi, >Would anyone be interested in my Trembling Blue Stars CD, "Lips that >tase of tears", only played >maybe twice Lips...is one of the finest albums ever recorded, to not play it every day is sacriligious enough but to swap it is just a wanton act of vandalism. But if you're interested I'll take it off youir hands to make sure it gets the loving home it deserves. You can have my copy of the Paradise Motel CD if you like...it's shit.

Yeah, what is wrong with you people? Unless, of course, you think the moment is somehow ruined. I don't know about that. One artist's lyrics slipped out and I read those, and it is a weird disembodied feeling knowing the words before you know the melody. In any case, if anyone wants to be generous, send me lyrics....well, bootlegs would be nice, but I'm reasonable.....you might have posted them before, but I've been very busy and not reading the list as I should. Sorry.

Re: Sinister: Field Mice & the Orchids

Hello :-) appologies for repeating that last post, everyone. someone wrote: <I think that it's more their common influences <(Nick Drake, Felt, 60's pop, the Go-Betweens) than B&S being influenced <by the Field Mice. I guess it stands to reason that a B&S fan has a good <chance of liking the Field Mice as well. Too bloody right! if they sound as good as they look on (virtual) paper, they must be brilliant. I don't suppose anyone in the UK would like to send me a tape of the Orchids/Field Mice? I can't (as those on the tape tree will soon realise) offer anything similarly musically fantastic, but I can promise to send something pretty damn interesting in return, plus of course, all my undying appreciation. B&S content; Stuart Murdoch's voice makes you want to laugh and cry, all at once. It is fantastic, and I've been taking it for granted. What soul. What a God. Seb. (not being nasty to mods, manics fans or ska fans. I've learnt my lesson now.) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I hate thinking up titles
by Colin Campbell 15 Aug '98

15 Aug '98

Hello, it's festival time here in edinburgh. the streets are filled with tourist, annoying street entertainers, even more annoying people who would like you to have one of their lovely fliers and, best of all,loads of comedians. just 2 hours ago I narrowly avoided being sideswiped by David Baddiel, and the other day I walked my dog past a scary-looking bearded fellow going by the name of martin bigpig. There have also been unconfirmed reports that Kate Radley and some bloke; jason pierce, richard ashcroft?; almost ran me down on their bycicles last evening on the supposedly bikefree path in the meadows. But the best thing about edinburgh at the moment is the bavarian beer fetival, featuring lederhosen clad oompah band from huddersfield, v.large beer stiens, serving wenches, and a whole roast pig. colin. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
