Sinister: A few random rambles
by Greg Pallis 25 Sep '98

25 Sep '98

Is there to be a "boy with the french cartoon" track on any Arab Strap release? I REALLY want to hear it. All together now: What do you make of the cool set in Falkirk, mumble mumble, you're constanly updating your hit-parade of your ten favourite cute furry animals, etc etc. It could then be followed by lactose intolerant shagging, our favourite non-existant 'strap song. My lanky friend John Gray is soon to appear here, he is much inamoured of my tape copy of sinister, I dispair of ever getting it back. Hmmm.. We all like Ivor Cutler. And vindaloo. For tea. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Bossa nova baby
by Mctaggart, Robert 25 Sep '98

25 Sep '98

Hello, Oh well, I was going to join in the fun of the "black music" debate, but the latest digest just arrived and you've done it all for me. I feel like someone walking in on a pub brawl. Cynthia wrote: >I've got this thing for the brazilians. Maybe you or Ivo can help me out here then. I heard an amazing Brazilian record at a friend's house recently, it's just called "Baby", and it's by one of those people like Gal Costa or Os whatever. It's a girl singing and it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, just pure sunshiney Latin-tinged pop. I gather it's part of a four CD boxed set thing that costs about 60 pounds, but I was wondering if it was available in err...less bulky (and expensive form). Ivo, if you can help me, I may even overlook you publically eyeing up my girlfriend. And you too, Mr so-called Miller. I'm sorry, I couldn't resist this. Il Duce said: >Pop mistakes are just NOT the Duke's bag. but then said: >St Etienne were in fact a one time marvelous Pop combo who too often >were only mediocre, but hey, what the hell. Note the use of the past tense here. I think maybe rumours of The Et's death have been greatly exagerrated. You shouldn't believe everything you read in the music press, you know. But Duke, your error made you look human, and you know what...it suited you. Sarahpoo wrote: >OH WELL THANK YOU MISTER MILLER! I have not seen Heavenly Creatures! >I was notified from chat about your lovely observation, and told the >character that you mention is boring, dull, drab, and a psycho. Thank >you. Actually Sarah, not only is "Heavenly Creatures" a smashing film, but the character in question is truly intense in her intenseness. In fact, the intensity of her intenseness makes Kate Winslett look little more than a SHALLOW FASCIST. I thought she was dead ace, actually. Peter was paying you a compliment. Oh, Peter, you'll be happy to know that I am a right bleeding ponce and I've seen "Strawberries and chocolate" and so I got your joke. Oh sod this, I'm going to Sweden.

Sinister: There's Something About Mary Does Las Vegas
by Warrander John - FML 25 Sep '98

25 Sep '98

Hi Popkids. I went to see 'There's Something About Mary' last night. Mainly cos I'm a red-blooded, real-man kind of guy and I wanted to see that Cameron Diaz get her kit off and the red hot sex. If that's your bag, you should see it. It's good. If you're a bit of a fey indie bed-wetter and soul-wrenchingly beautiful pop tunes are you're turn-on, then you should go and see it too. Jonathan Richman pops up throughout the film 'performs' some of his crushingly observant, arch "vignettes" about life and love itself. It's great. You'll get out of your bedroom, get a bit of air and maybe even get to see some girlies. The rest of the audience will probably take the piss and laugh at JoJo. If you feel the need to 'have stern words' with them. I'd advise against it. They get out more often and are probably tougher than you. I was going to have words with some people myself. But I was busy with, er, other things. Ever helpfully, Love...John +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: cute little B&S moment
by azriel 25 Sep '98

25 Sep '98

so one of the people i live with is a bit of a belle and sebastian fan. i didn't know he had the new album. he knew i had it, tho. anyway, i'm sitting in my kitchen (which is right by his room) reading a book when i hear "sleep the clock around" pouring out of his room. then i went back to my room and couldn't resist putting twattybus on. at first i tried to put it on the same song as him, 'cept they were so out of sync it was painful to hear. so now there's just two people in the same house listening to the same album, but at different parts of it. :) -kerry "if only i could escape and leave a dummy in my place." -bernard butler, "i'm tired." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: DE LIVER UNS
by Chris Leonard 25 Sep '98

25 Sep '98

Mr. Spock here. How've you been? You look well. Here's a screenplay for my next blockbuster. I made it up. All of it. Even the people, and dammit the story too. Any resemblance to real people or a real film is a damn coincidence. Again I used a sweary approach, to portray some of my harder edged characters. I thoroughly recommend none of you take up swearing. Watch it kids. DE LIVER UNS ============ Stuart Murdoch, Stevie Jackson and Stephen Pastel are having a weekend canoeing down the Cahooooooga river. Usually they play golf, but they fancied a change. Characters Stephen Pastel : Adventurer, hard as fuck Stuart Murdoch : Humanist, nature loving, effeminate. Stevie Jackson : Guitar wielding family man. Red AMK van drives up to a wooden hut by the side of a huge river. There's a wee guy sitting with a banjo outside Stephen Pastel: Gonna drive ma van tae Glasgae, ya ugly wee cunt? Stuart Murdoch: Swephen, why oh why dwo you have to be so so wude to people? Stephen Pastel: FUCKIN SHUT IT YOU! ANSWER ME, ya ugly wee bastard! Stevie Jackson: Wow man, you've got a banjo - look I gotta guitar. Let's jam! [Stevie and the ugly wee fella play that duelling banjos tune. Top!] Stuart Murdoch: Oh, that's was beeeaaaauuuuutiful! How wovely! Wovely Wovely Wovely! Stephen Pastel: Aye, that was fuckin magic, by the way. Stevie Jackson: Nice one wee man. I could play all day with you. Ugly Wee Man : Aye right! You're pish at guitar, big man. [Stephen Pastel shoots the wee guy with an arrow. The wee guy dies] Stuart Murdoch: Oh no! Swephen, why evew did you dwo that? You'we so siwwy! Stevie Jackson: Aye, that was a bit uncalled for, ya nutter. Stephen Pastel: Wee bastard called me a poof! Stevie Jackson: No, he said I was shite at guitar, which is fair enough. Stephen Pastel: He fuckin never! He called me a fuckin bender! Wee shite. So I killed him. YOU GOT A FUCKIN PROBLEM WI THAT? Stevie Jackson: He really didn't, you know. Stephen Pastel: Shite! What am I gonna fucking do then? Stuart Murdoch: Phone the powice and tell them what you have done? Stephen Pastel: FUCK THAT - I'M NO FUCKING GOING BACK TO BARLINNIE!! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT, YOU SELFISH WEE FUCK? Stevie Jackson: Why don't wee just pull him up into those woods, and bury him? Stephen Pastel: Aye, nice one. [The three of them grab a leg each and pull the ugly wee guy up into the woods] [They start to bury him] Stevie Jackson: There's someone over there! Stephen Pastel: SHITE! Better distract them [The pair of them leave Stuart to bury the wee guy] [There's two scary hillbilly nutters up the hill a bit, one of them] [has a big gun] Stephen Pastel: What the fuck do you two think you're doing? Nutter1: FUCKIN SHUT IT YOU. [Nutter2. Points the gun at Stephen Pastel. There's a bit of a scuffle.] [Ends up Stevie is tied to a tree with a belt round his neck] Nutter1: Take off yer clothes Stephen Pastel. You gotta a real purty mouth. Look a bit like a cow. I'm gonna shag you. Stephen Pastel: Dinnae! Nutter1: Aye, I'm gonna fuckin shag you. Get yer clothes off now, Or else Nutter2 will shoot you, then I'll still shag you.

Re: Sinister: Please try to think!!!
by Scott Turner 25 Sep '98

25 Sep '98

How did all this nonsense about black music start anyway. I mean come on people!!! Being a huge fan of jazz, i like a load of black artists, but who gives a fuck!! Stop the awful misuse of political correctness. What a bunch of bad application of thought!!!! Why should we let multicultural politics drive our tastes, instead of letting our passions, individuality, and intuition drive our tastes. And why do you privelege black music over other musics- do you have a record collection full of Chinese, Hindu. arabic, jewish, and Tunatuvan split throat singing too!!!!!!!!!! Are we all supposed to put our hair in dred locks, throw on a turban, where a silk komona with native american boots. Look at me everybody, I am multicultural!!!!!!! and what so bad with liking "white" music anyway. So what if B&S are the whitest band in the world (which i don't think they are anyway)? Are white people not supposed to like their artistic accomplishments? What a bucket full of pish People, try to think. please. pretty please. .scott +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Toxteth Riots (slight return)
by Mark Casarotto 25 Sep '98

25 Sep '98

Hang on a tick - what race war? I could have sworn I'd been paying attention, but to me the lack of black artists in everybody's favourite lists is no more than a symptom of people either not having had enough opportunities to encounter diverse kinds of music, or pure and simple personal taste. And, with the exception of half of the Dream section of TBWTAS, Belle and Sebastian's music doesn't have a lot in common with music traditionally made by black people (it's not easy to categorise this without sounding racist). Yes, there are going to be exceptions, but on the whole it's not too dangerous a generalisation to make. When I was thinking who my favourite bands were, they pretty much turned out to be honkies too - I could have included Public Enemy, Diamond D, Jurassic 5, god knows how many funk bands of the 60s and 70s, De La Soul, Lee Perry, etc. etc., but none of the above have had the effect on me that, say, Throwing Muses (black bassist!) or Madder Rose have. When I see the slightest bit of racist ideology rear its ugly head on the list, I'll be the first to shoot it down. Perhaps I'm being blinkered, and there's a sinister (sic) white supremacist undercurrent, but I don't think so. Looking back on your letter, Peter, I think I may be taking it a bit too seriously. Apologies to those of you who think I'm right up my own arse, but I still think it's a valid point to make. It's a bit sad the whole race thing had to come up at all, really. Anyway, pomposity over for now. I'm on the verge of booking the Pioneer Hotel in NY, which is almost suspiciously cheap - let's hope it's just the time of year. Which reminds me, what's the weather going to be like? Oh dear, I'm not at all prepared... See you on Saturday, I hope...

Sinister: Desmonds, Dickon and Dodgy old bollocks from Mr Moffat.
by babyblu＠gold.globalcafe.co.uk 25 Sep '98

25 Sep '98

Funkyseb shared his charming and v. funny ideas of what we all looked like, but I can't quote from two digests so you'll just have to trust that he did, That's odd Seb, cos before I worked out who you were, I thought a Funkyseb would probably look like the white hairdresser bloke out of 'Desmonds'. Ivo said: > > " ... I was yours for the asking ,a child afraid. Sent unfettered > letters,postage unpaid. In identicle avenues that no-one > would miss, the world could not touch us, but we could > not kiss ... " > (Orlando - Contained) > Oh, Dickon! You're not fooling anyone you know. The boy from the Arab strap said in the Melody Maker: MM: What's your favourite novelty single? TBFTAS: Have you heard the first Belle & Sebastian record? Right, we'll meet you in the playground by the swings after chemistry Aidan!
