Don't shoot me! but... If you haven't been with us since Aug 97, please take a look in the archives before asking questions, most things under the sun have been asked before on Sinister and we've even had a stab at an answer or two. It's dead easy, just go to the WWW link at the bottom of this message and click on "Search". Also please: Jeepster assure us they will pass gig/release information to this list the *moment* it's confirmed - so don't keep asking the list, just sit tight. If you really want to look every five minutes, go to the News page on www.jeepster.co.uk and hit "Reload" a few thousand times. It's probably a bit like fishing, but your feet don't get cold. honey xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: david's cooking in the kitchen
by Greekesque＠aol.com 11 Aug '98

11 Aug '98

<< some people are choosing not to hear the records, learn the lyrics or view the artwork. they just want it to have it all when the time comes rather than bits and bobs that simply lessen the moment. so please, for these people, if you have info on artwork, lyrics, whatever, just keep it to your self, or, announce that you've got them and will supply them on request. but do not post it to the list as the temptation may be too much for them. >> i know david works for jeepster, so that might explain why he says such things, but he has a great point. i feel the same way he feels. i've gotten tapes of albums that haven't come out yet, and i wish i would have waited. most good bands work with a whole aethestic, not just the sound of their songs. i'm not making any sense because i just ran a fast deal, but what i'm trying to say is, david has a point. love; christian, the expendable fish who sympathizes with those who don't eat much food and things like that. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: September can't come too soon
by AAA polyholiday 11 Aug '98

11 Aug '98

A few random comments: * I f'n love Belle & Sebastian .. they're as infallable as a band can get these days ... impossible to get tired of 'em. Me can't wait to get me grubby mitts on the new album ... *get in line, eh?* * Apart from some great musicianship & songs like "Alice Childress", I quickly jumped off the BFF bandwagon by the time that 2nd album was released. Someone PLEASE pair Ben up with a lyricist ... seriously. The whole preening, pandering, gifted high-schooler "I was never cool in school" sentiment really wears thin after a while (and yes, you may throw Barenaked Ladies, et al in that pile as well ... "Brian Wilson" is a shudder-inducing song). Brown eyes were also opened wide once I heard Elton & co.'s superlative 11-17-70 album ... Reg wrote the book and then some a long, long time ago. * About a remark about how Q is more for "older" folks: trust me, if you were over here in the States and surrounded by pandering, self-important, out-of-touch "music magazine" corporate Frankensteins like Rolling Stone (Spin to a lesser degree), your parents' copy of Q would suddenly bask in a heavenly glow. (In all fairness to Spin, they put IFYS in their 1997 top 20). To go against typical heavy fan sentiments of "I saw them first!" and "They're mine, Mine, MINE!" (fortunately which generally doesn't happen around here, which is definitely refreshing), I honestly can't wait until B&S get a little more exposure over here in the States. Granted, airplay on typical "alternative" radio over here will be next to impossible, unless there's some sort of shitto fake ska single ... fortunately, highly doubtful. Back on track with my original thoughts, one word of advice: NO interviews with Rolling Stone, please. In fact, bring legal action against RS if they even mention the band in any way, shape, or form. It ain't woith it! Besides, knowing how "hip" RS considers themselves to be, they won't "discover" B&S until 2003, and by then the world will be completely dessimated by the y2k bug anyhow. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: weird rumors and fuzzy pictures
by Janine Papp 11 Aug '98

11 Aug '98

OK, on the Belle and Sebastian rumor tip... I believe I once read somwhere (and no, I don't believe everything I read, esp. when it comes to b&s) that one of the members of Belle and Sebastian only eats like, three kinds of food, I believe it was bread and dry cereal and something else, I can't remember. Has anyone else heard of this? you know, in a way, if it's true it makes me feel better because I have rather... limited eating habits myself, I would say about 80% of all food makes me totally ill and I often have a hard time explaining to people why I can't eat stuff (which I won't go into here, what a snooze). Also... I recently saw a VERY badly xeroxed copy of the cover artwork of the Boy with the Arab Strap. Should I tell what it looks like? Or do you want to be surprised? keep in mind I only sort of know because it was a very bad copy... I won't tell yet, unless you all want me to, in which I case I will spill it.

Sinister: nail meaning good
by jossleag＠iol.ie 11 Aug '98

11 Aug '98

O yay!!! Mark n Lard just played 'It could have been a brilliant career'. And it's marvellous. Just the tonic after 4 days spent within the narrow confines of my flat suffering with flu. I've even managed to cultivate a crush on the weather girl on the french cable channel. Do all french female meteorologists go to work in cocktail dresses? Perhaps they ought... And last night I had the most frustrating 2 hours since when I arrived back from Manchester in december to discover I'd no idea of where I'd parked. (Well, it was only a 40 minute search, but it took a 10 minute bus ride to the long stay car park, ok?) I watched David Lynch's The Lost Highway. It's a load of old tosh, isn't it?? If I ever meet that man I shall twat him soundly over the head with a sturdy object for stealing 2 hours of my life. I demand them back. Good films seen recently: Hana-Bi, In Cold Blood Does anyone have: a recording of Unwound's peel session Hello to: kevin - dublin, turt, nickie (great tree tape) & everyone else... Goodbye from: joss - dublin This message has been brought to you courtesy of Marks & Spencer soup and Solpadeine.

Sinister: The cry of The Fly: Help Me...
by Mark Crutch 11 Aug '98

11 Aug '98

So there am I, living a life of musical isolation in a desolate part of Buckinghamshire's aesthetic mortuary of a county town. Most of my friends have grown old beyond their facial hair, and defend their middle-of-the-road taste with mocking disinterest as I shake the earwax from their tongues and cobwebs from their groins with an obscenely loud copy of Me & The Major, whilst tapping my foot to the music and causing the car to pulsingly spurt into more and more rapid movement. But to no avail. None of them are turned on by the poetry, the beauty. Yet there is one. One last ray of hope - a friend who is younger and more adventurous than the rest. A friend who sometimes accuses me of the same disinterest in her music that my older friends have in mine. Whilst I edge daily towards middle age, she runs fast in the opposite direction. One day I'll catch her, and then I'll run that way too. But she's away; in the good old US of A, chasing a dream. She'll be back in time for the London gig, but will she want to go? Will she be free to go? I tussle with the idea of buying a pair of tickets anyway, just in case, but a freak accident that sees me going mad on a scooter round the back roads of Rome prevents me being able to order them. But now she's back. She'd love to go. I try to order, but too late. My soul is gone, torn from my body by the fiendish vampire at the other end of the line. Just two words, and my euphoria turns to anguish. Just two words. "Sold Out." So I turn to my last resort, to those hundreds of friends that I don't even know. Not in the real word, but only by words, only by thoughts. But what are we, if we're not a collection of thoughts. And those thoughts are so rich, so varied, so kind, that I know I can call you all my friends. And so I beg to you, plead to you, offer you sexual favours that you won't want when you see me, and generally prostrate myself before you. Please, for all that is good, for all that is bad, and for all that is sinister, if anyone has two tickets for the London gig that they no longer need, please consider the despair of one of your closest, yet most distant friends. That's me, in case you didn't get it. Mail me. Name your price. But don't be greedy - I'm your friend, and she's but a student. Your reward will come in the life after this; a life in the fur of a big white dog, where the rivers flow with tigermilk and St. Lucy stands at the gate to welcome you in. And school dinners are permanently available. Unless you'd prefer a packed lunch.

I haven't seen Gregory's girl in ages - bu tdo you remember a film called "the girl in the picture"? I think (the memory loss is increasing as I advance in years) that it Starred John G Sinclair and Gregor Fisher, but I can't be sure... Anyway - Anone seen/remember/got it? I'd love to get an original copy (It seems to be like Tigermilk - Some people have heard of it, Fewer have seen it, Fewer still have a pirate copy and almost no-one has an original!)

Oh Christ, don't open that can o' worms again. Just stick with analogue copies of Tigermilk and record companies don't get unhappy. David, Katrina and everyone else at Jeepster are beautiful people and are turning a blind eye to taping, but they can't ignore talk of CDs and the like. Don't shoot me, I'm just the piano player. Having said that, I'm still willing to do tapes of Tigermilk for people before I bugger off to the wilds of the Inner Hebrides on the 22nd. M'ecrivez en prive, SVP.
