Kerry-- You lucky city-dwellin' girl! I went to Hastings, asked for the album and was met with blank stares and searches in vain. But I finally did get it, so why am I complaining...? Music tastes? I know I'll put a list down and think, "Wait! I forgot ___!" But, I'll give it a go... Pulp, Morrissey, the Smiths, Blur, the Talking Heads, The Stranglers, Radiohead, Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, the new Rialto (plug-plug), Supergrass, Sleeper, the Rentals, that dog., the Pixies (and all the member projects since), Elvis (both of them), Ash, Duran Duran, Adam Ant, some REM, Kitchens of Distinction, and all of the sudden I'm trying to picture my CD holder mounted on the wall across from my bed and I'm drawing a blank. This feels eerily like filling out a slam book. Such pressure to impress. Yikes. Rory, Jonny-- those lists you posted were terrific! Beautiful reads, both of them (though, Rory, I'm sure it's the Health Gods who interjected to keep you from eating all that bacon. :) ) Krissy +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Chicago Show
by Alex Arnold 21 Sep '98

21 Sep '98

Hi there, I am yet another newbie to the list, and for all of you sick of reading introductory posts--here's an introductory post. My name is Alex and I reside in Madison, WI. I absolutely adore B&S and I too would appreciate it if someone in the US would be willing to tape a copy of Tigermilk for me. I quite enjoy this list as most of you seem to be completely out of your gourds (and I mean that as a compliment). Having gotten rid of the obligatory first post pap, I was wondering if there is someone in the WI vicinity going to the B&S show in Chicago. I'm looking for a ride to and from the gig. Anyone willing to give me one gets a free ticket to the show, compliments of moi. I'll also pay for the petrol. E-mail me privately at amarnold(a)students.wisc.edu Thank you, Alex +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Tigermilk to CD-R

wouldn't it be better if you made a tape of yr record to send to someone to make a CD-R? if you made a good tape, the sound quality lost wouldn't be noticeable. someone made me one from a tape and it sounds great. ______________________________________________________ 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: deja summer
by Julie_Smith＠iacnet.com 21 Sep '98

21 Sep '98

Hey kids. I've gathered that comparisons make some listees tired and weary, but just for conversations sake . . .after listening to A Summer Wasting AGAIN I realized it sounds a lot like certain songs by Trashcan Sinatras. Which is cool with me cuz I like the Sinatras just fine. Anyone agree? Julie P.S. My roommate loves to annoy me by referring to Belle & Sebastian as Mckormick & Geoff. Sigh. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Dirty Scene #1
by Anthony LaSala 21 Sep '98

21 Sep '98

To all you B&S fans coming to NY for the first time for the upcoming shows, here's something to look forward to: I sit across from a large hotel in midtown Manhattan named the Milford Plaza (The "Lullabye of Broadway" to all you fellow New Yorkers) and at the present moment there is a rather pale, hairy man, standing on a chair in front of his window, about 50 stories up, doing the twist completely naked. An arab strap is not visible, although one may be present in his room. I wonder: a) Is he listening to TWATTYBUS? b) Did he just find a copy of Tigermilk for $3.00 in his local indie record store? c) What, exactly, did he eat for lunch? d) What simple questions might make HIM sigh? Maybe we'd be better off not knowing the answer to d... -Anthony +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

You said: >Another thing: am i alone in being slightly *disappointed* by the new B&S album? I also am (very, very, very) slightly disappointed in the new albumn, only beacause I thought that it'd be better than Sinister and Tigermilk. But I think it's slightly inferior to Sinister (I feel guilty already for applying that adjective).

Sinister: look, crazy judy is having an affair with the tall man
by tinystar＠worldy.com 21 Sep '98

21 Sep '98

Hey sinisterines, Somehow my .sig file *mysteriously disappeared (alright, we all know it was my mother mucking about on here), so this message is really just a test to see if it works. Oh, and I'd like to ask if it is possible to be driven to a point of insanity by prolonged exposure to loud and stress-indicing noise? You see, we've had a fire (no worries, everyone is okay and so are my records, thank heavens - everything just smells like we've been on a cookout) and they're rebuilding our walls...they start hammering away and doing goodness knows what at 7:30am and here it is, 5:30pm and the builders are showing no sign of letting up and I've got to study for my Law test tomorrow (oh, the glamourousness of highschool) and darnit, I can't get anything done from this banging and drilling and general machinery noise going on. I do hope I don't snap and throw my dear eggplant at the workers, I'm sure they're nice and everything but really, noise is noise and I do wish it could be kept to a minimum, ie. none. Does anyone seem to have a Coronation Street addiction? I can't help myself, it just strikes me as being so much more interesting than my life and so much more action packed than silly American soaps. Well, now that I've wasted a good three minutes of my and everyone else's time, I'll be going. truly, jessicaxo 33 days until b+s in Toronto! Hurrah! **************************************************** Someone had spied on us, I suppose, as we sat beside the canal and ate the sandwiches, drinking not even orangeade or Coca-Cola but hot milk out of a thermos. *************************************************** t i n y s t a r @ w o r l d y . c o m +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
