Sinister: bring me the pants of Tom Cox
by Honey 29 Aug '98

29 Aug '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* "Pop: Belle & Sebastian" Tom Cox, The Guardian Guide, 29th August 1998 "Glasgow's Belle and Sebastian are sensitive, lamb-like souls who don't like being written about, let alone interviewed; I wouldn't be surprised if they took a contract out on me for previewing their gig, were it not for the fact that they're such out and out wimps. They prefer to "let them music do the talking" which is allowed, in this case, since it speaks the same language as Love, Nick Drake, The Lovin' Spoonful and The Go-Betweens. Introverted leader Stuart Murdoch is one of the few songwriters that can write intimately about Boots The Chemist and get away with it. But beware: his legion of bedroom saddo devotees is now almost as frighteningly obsessive as those of Meat Is Murder-era Morrisey. Take some poetry and a bunch of flowers so you blend in." .. which I think is a cracking review, not just of the band but of us! There's a lot of giggling going on over breakfast here. Poor Tom. honey, funnily enough, in a bedroom xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: question older than dirt
by Suzanne Schroeder 29 Aug '98

29 Aug '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* So, may I ask any new England dates for the tour? I was half plotting a trip to the area to see the fall colors because I liked it so much when I went last year and didn't get to stick around long enough to see anything worthwhile.....not entirely true, but landscape wise, Boston was a pile of ice. Oh, Momus supporting also?

Sinister: dim dim 40 watt
by brad 29 Aug '98

29 Aug '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* yeah...i'm happy i guess. i mean it could be better, but if the only place i could see them was standing knee deep in eel shit, i'd still go. but the 40 watt in athens? it's such a not good place to see belle and sebastian. how about someone who knows the promoter tell him to get on the horn and call up smith's olde bar in atlanta. that's the best club for belle and sebastian. carpeted floors, round stage with a curtain, waitresses who come to your table so you don't have to fight your way through the crowd for beer.....perfect place. the 40 watt? damn. anyway, i'm going. if anyone wants to meet up, let me know. and anyone who caught my vic chesnutt reference...i love you. -brad +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: A Sinister Fairy Tale
by Errington/Woodman 28 Aug '98

28 Aug '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Once there was a mighty kingdom ruled by a wise king. The people were happy jolly and frolicsome. They were even more happy because the king's jester put on big shows which everyone got into for free. One day the king realized that the jester's shows were using up all the money in the treasury. Taxes were having to be raised, and inflation was getting too high for comfort. The king hinted to his good friend the jester to spend less on the shows, and the jester, being friendly but not used to handling money, saw the problem and cut down spending. In a speech to his people, the king announced to the kingdom that their economy was fine as he had ironed out a few problems. The jester wasn't sure quite what to make of the speech, so he went to ask the king the next day. The king had drunk 3 yards of ale after the speech and was feeling the worse for it that morning. When the jester asked him exactly what he meant, the usually quiet king snapped at him for once. Hurt, the jester walked out of the castle and kept to his jesters house for a while. After that, he caught a galleon and moved to a faraway island. The people were still pleasant, but lacked a certain vitality that they had before. When millions of refugees arrived, this mood immersed them too, and soon the once jolly kingdom was like all the others on that continent.
