Sinister: The Cult of Sinister
by krivas＠codon.nih.gov 04 Aug '98

04 Aug '98

Funny, that Rich Connell should say: Mysterious underground band? Intensely devoted following? Makes us sound like fucking satanists (satin-ists more like) Cause I've always had this notion that this mailing list seems a bit "cult-ish" in some respects, at least from an objective point of view anyway. I mean, besides just being loyal fans, the good majority of us (and you know who you are!) have gone about "converting" other people into b&s listeners. Hey, I'm guilty of it myself. Maybe that's not so unusual, but what IS somewhat curious is the zeal that this list has for converting their friends and relations into b&s fans. I can remember several listees joyously reporting that they had successfully made yet another "convert," and then tallying their convert count. hmm......sounds kinda suspicious to me. Next thing you know we'll all be in airports selling flowers for a dollar, living in VW vans (or city buses rather), and saying things like: "Brother, have you heard the new gospel according to Stuart M.?" yeah well, just a thought.... ttfn, Kim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Sinister: Smith & Paris

Hi sinisterians! Louise Davies wrote: > can't wait - especially as i hear elliott smith is supporting them. I couldnt believe my eyes when I read this in Katrina's mail... It's simply wonderful... I cant wait anymore. I have to go to Leeds NOW!!!

Well, I'll send this to the list because I guess some of you could go to Paris since most of you are on holidays, and not only Louise. There is not much to do in Paris in August, except wandering in the streets, eating ice-creams, sitting at terraces, walking near the Seine... I could have advised you to go to one of the finest pop pubs in Paris, but it will be closed till the end of august... And there are not many gigs in Paris (there are some during festivals, but that's almost all...). Anyway, you can buy records in various shops as : - Rough Trade, 30 rue de Charonne, Paris 11e (Metro station : Bastille). I neednt explain what you can find there (go upstairs to find pop music) - La FNAC : there are 4 or 5 FNAC in Paris, the best one as far as indie pop is concerned is (well, it's only my opinion) the one on the Rue de Rennes (Metro Montparnasse) - If you want to find second hand records, you can visit the shops around the Forum des Halles (Metro Chatelet) or even Crocodisc, rue des Ecoles (just in front of the College de France, Metro Saint Michel or Cluny Sorbonne) or Jussieu Musique (Metro Jussieu, promo copies and second hand, rather cheap, try to find the pop shop on the rue de Jussieu, near the station) And if you ever happen to see someone with a Belle and Sebastian tee-shirt (the yellow bus one) somewhere, it could be my girlfriend.. Just come and meet us!!! Stephane > ps - where are you meeting up after the gig? Same question in Leeds and in Nottingham? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Sinister: My Big Day Out
by Gary Done 04 Aug '98

04 Aug '98

Well what a fun day I had yesterday. First off I got to release about 2 years of angry frustration and tell a member of staff in Birkenhead Virgin that his shop was not only shit, but f**ing shit, after I found they weren't stocking the Salako single. Then when I got over to Liverpool, I found that the Liverpool branch didn't have any either. Finally got one in HMV though, were I also picked up the Cinerama single after a few folks mentioned how good it was. Damn fine singles both are as well. Then it was off upto Probe were I couldn't get out the shop without buying another record, or so it seemed. I was about to leave empty handed when I spotted a Hefner 7" so I got that and as i'm heading for the door something catches my eye (get ready for the gratuitous B&S content), it's the Looper single, so I get that as well. As i'm on my way through the door, I spot the words Super Furry and Animals in the record racks, so I have a flick through and the last record there is a 12" promo of The Man Don't Give A Whatsisname, so I had to have it. The Looper singles great, is Mr D going to release anymore stuff as Looper ?. byyyyyyyeeeeeeeee Gary ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Sinister: the Fruit Looper
by Greekesque＠aol.com 04 Aug '98

04 Aug '98

<< Got the Looper single today, too. Nice single, that. Interesting side-project material. It did remind me a lot of "the 'Strap" but in a unique sort of way. Idunno, I quite liked all the drum machine bits. Not cheap-sounding at all compared to the image I have in my head when I think of "cheap-sounding drum machine." >> in a water balloon fight, looper would distroy the arab strap. i love looper so much more because their sounds are all quirky and cosy, when the arab strap just sounds like a dirty old man. i mean, who would you rather cuddle up with? the arap strap or looper? that's the question i'm asking... the only thing is, i wish the vocals on the looper record would be a little louder. but it still kicks. lovely day >> christian ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Sinister: And on a lighter (or darker) note
by Richard Connell 04 Aug '98

04 Aug '98

I have just been messing about on the UBL (Ultimate band list) looking for sites of my favourite musicians (no Peter, Paul and Mary site! what is going on?) when i saw this news item: Belle & Sebastian Going Once, Going ... Belle & Sebastian are auctioning a copy of their very rare first album to benefit a hospital in their hometown of Glasgow, Scotland. The mysterious underground band came to national attention when their second album, If You're Feeling Sinister, gained wide critical acclaim and an intensely devoted following. Mysterious underground band? Intensely devoted following? Makes us sound like fucking satanists (satin-ists more like) Oh well, I'm just of to sacrifice my next-door neighbours first born, erm...i mean, er... mow the lawn Cheers, Rich "I bent my wookie" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Sinister: Seven Years of Plenty
by Cassell Professional Publishing 04 Aug '98

04 Aug '98

Apologies for bringing a commercial to the list, but I thought you all might like to know about a cool book we're publishing in October. I've just been reading the proofs today (instead of working), and it's a cracker. It's called Seven Years of Plenty: A Handbook of Irrefutable Pop Greatness, 1991-1998 by Ben Thompson and basically it covers good music throughout the nineties. Criminally, there is only one reference to Belle and Sebastian (in the piece about Arab Strap), but we'll have to ignore that. There are chapters on Blur, Pavement, Air, Gorky's, Smog, Beck, Massive Attack, Pulp, Cornershop, Lambchop, Teenage Fanclub, Suede, Take That, Spice Girls, Tricky, Beastie Boys, and much much more. Anyway, it'll be in the shops in October, it will cost ten quid, and it's got one of the coolest covers you'll ever see. Considering that ninety nine per cent of what we publish here is crud, it's all very exciting! Lots of love, DAVID ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Sinister: Glasgow Gigs
by Chris Leonard 04 Aug '98

04 Aug '98

Sorry it's me again - and a special hello to 'A Leonard'. Are you my wee cousin or something? I have some more information concerning these Glasgow Gigs. They will only sell two tickets per night to each person - do you see the problem there? Makes it a bit tricky to do the bulk order thing :( And anyway, I'm waiting for more entries to my competition. Go on, it's the taking part that counts. You've got till the end of the month, but if you send in the entries now I'll have something to read this afternoon. Keith pointed out that I'm missing a few songs of the new album on my song list. But that's alright, it's only a game. Please enter it. I've written a special program to calculate the scores and everything. Please?

None
by Keith Watson 04 Aug '98

04 Aug '98

Whilst perusing the results of David's voting booth where you can vote for your favourite B+S songs and give them a mark out of ten and stuff (http://www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian/vote/index.htm ) I figured since I can't actually place a vote I'd stick my votes on the list, for fun. So.... In true indie-wanker fashion, all of my favourite songs are currently unreleased. A good deal of these come off the new album, but naturally their favour with me will slip quickly when the new album is actually released, and all the plebs can hear them too. My current number 1, which I would have to give 10 out of 10 would have to be "Got the girl, missed the train" or something, which I haven't even heard! "Perfection as a hipster" also scores highly. These are liable to stay quite high up the top too as they're never actually likely to get a release. Probably my least favourite stuff would have to come from the EP's. Especially 3,6,9 seconds of light, which got into the charts (for God's sake). The only other ones I like much are the unreleased mixes off the new LP, and I quite like "I know where the summer goes" and "the Gate", but I fear that in a couple of months I'm liable to hate them too. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.
