Hello. I'm some guy from Sweden, and I'm also new on this list. Does anyone know how to get tickets for the Glasgow shows? I am visiting Liverpool around this time, and I would do everything to get to see Belle and Sebastian in real life! Many thanks, Linus

Sinister: Monday poem
by Charlotte.Hall＠smlawpub.co.uk 03 Aug '98

03 Aug '98

As this seems to have died out and as I am celebrating some sort of peculiar anniversary of circa six months on the list without saying a word, I propose to reinstate the Monday poem with the added twist that I'd like to nominate someone to produce next week's and I nominate, er, Chris Leonard as he is ineffably cute (I know, I've met him) and has produce the most exciting competition to come out of Glasgow since, since, since his last competition. This all, of course, has barely tangential reference to B&S and still less to do with the WHO. The poem is by a Scottish poet called Tessa Ransford. The White Stone of Lewis Do not attempt to lift the white stone. It is smooth quartzite and weighs a lifetime. You would prove your back could take the strain; brave, ambitious, You could handle any challenge. But other strengths are more sustaining: Able to change and take changes, Lift old habits from heavy soil, Get to grips with the smooth surface of self-deception. Let others do the heaving and shoving who shoulder burdens they cannot manage and set their sights on defeating others in pointless shows of strength. You carry the stone with you Crystal with humour Light with hope Smooth with complete integrity. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Ok, can anyone tell me how you get to this place where the gigs are on? And what time they'll finish? And will i be able to get back to Edinburgh afterwards? Probably not, which means i wont be able to go and will end up hating the band loads for only playing in sodding Glasgow like everyone does... which will give me another reason to be miserable on August 31st cus i'm also retaking my driving test then and will probably fail. Again. Grrrrr. Am making yet another foray into town tomorrow to try and get the Looper single. I'm not holding my breath, though...

Apparently it was one of the best >concerts they ever did, so lucky old David. Indeed you speak the truth, and would explain how he did not hear the Keith Moon rendition of the shouty bit in Bell Boy. It's indeed ace - he has trouble keeping hold of the microphone whilst banging all the drums at once, it's well cool. I'd say that whole period was the WHO in their prime, and indeed one of the best all round records by the WHO would have to be the mid-seventies compilation record "Odds and Sods" which was my bosses first ever record (he went to see the WHO in 1976 too, but in Parkhead). I know this seems weird with it being a record made up of outtakes and stuff, but it is completely brilliant. On the same tip, I bought "Get yer Ya-Ya's out" by the Rolling Stones the other day, from Fopp for a fiver, and it's class too, from their golden concert period, the Stones rock the house, my favourite bit being where Mick tells the crowd that he's burst a button in his trousers, and he says he'd better sort it, cause the crowd wouldn't want to see his trousers fall down. Actually, that's not the best bit, but it is the funniest. The amazing renditions of Midnight Rambler and Sympathy for the Devil do the trick for me. I also got Hot Chocolate's greatest hits which is funky as fuck. Right, better get back to work then... sound it's the Brothers Johnson on the radio. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Sinister: Glasgow gigs
by Katrina House 03 Aug '98

03 Aug '98

Hello people, ok, i've managed to get some details about the gigs ... here goes: basically, the shows are two warm-up charity gigs at the Maryhill Community Hall in Glasgow. the dates are monday august 31st and tuesday september 1st. tickets are 5 pounds each and are on sale now from John Smiths in Byres Road, Glasgow IN PERSON ONLY! PLEASE do not phone the Community Hall OR John Smiths in an attempt to get tickets, as you will come to a dead end as the staff will probably not be able to help you much. The ONLY WAY to get tickets is to head along to the shop and buy them in person ... remember, there are other uk gigs throughout september (which are close to selling out so get your tickets now!) and the band will also hopefully do another uk tour in november, after the european + us dates, so everyone who wants to go should be able to see them this year. cheers, Katrina. -- ************************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - mailto:a-and-r@jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, uk phone - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Sinister: "...what the hell is a booroo clow anyway?"
by Funkyseb＠aol.com 03 Aug '98

03 Aug '98

It's a lovely phrase, that's what it is, and I suggest everyone on this list uses it once a day in conversation. It's nothing to do with Lewis Carroll is it? it sounds Jabberwockyesque. Come to think of it, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci sing something about 'my Booroo clow' on 'patio song'. I'd always assumed it was Welsh.

Sinister: WHO dunnit?
by PJMiller 03 Aug '98

03 Aug '98

I wonder why the WHO never used that as an album title? It's got HIT written all over it. Anyway, after a pleasant few days of sunflowers and storks, coaldust and clergymen, not to mention a tragically fruitless shepherd search, it was very nice to come home to a brand new competition of the fiendishly difficult variety, and the deeply satisfying news that Keith walked to work listening to Ash Ra Tempel and McRagTag has funked up all over his duvet. First of all, the shepherd news: He was nowhere to be found, but I did a bit of detective work. He recently set his slavering pack of huge mastiffs on a little puppy-wuppy; he's got a proper house; he's got goats, not sheep; and six-year-old Mikel doesn't know who on earth I'm talking about. Now, my favourite subject: The WHO - the reason David Moore didn't see the nearly nudie woman or the Keith Moon vocal extravaganza is because it was a different concert. The one on the video is from 1974, which accounts for the vastly superior fashion sense of the crowd. It was on BBC 2. But the 1976 one is/was in the Guiness Book of Records as the loudest concert of all time! Needless to say, I heartily approve. Apparently it was one of the best concerts they ever did, so lucky old David. The inevitable B&S content: It would seem that numerous dubious journalists on the list have alreadt received their copies of the new B&S LP. My question is this - did it come with a typically charming press release written by a memeber of the band? If so, could someone send it to the list? Please and thank you.

Sinister: EPs
by LoonyLiz＠aol.com 03 Aug '98

03 Aug '98

Today I was in the Virgin Megastore in San Francisco, and I found the "Lazy Line Painter Jane" EP and one other, which I forget the name of...but it wasn't "3...6...9 seconds of light". Anyhow, I only had $10, and each one of them cost $10, and I had to be able to pay for lunch, so I couldn't get them! It was sad, because I NEVER go into the city, and none of the icky record stores around here will ever have these things. Oh WHAT is a poor suburbian girl to DO, I ask you?!?
