Sinister: Who wants a tape in UK ?
by Philippe Garnier 21 Sep '98

21 Sep '98

Because of an neuronal crash in my brain, I have inopportunately deleted the messages of the listees from UK who applied for a tape of the next radio session (Belle & Sebastian's Black Session on Oct. 1st). So, if you are interested by a tape (it's free) and if you are ready to make copies for your compatriots, please contact me. This concerns *only* people living in UK ! I have already made the "selection" for the US and for Ireland. Yes, I have decided to send a tape in Ireland apart from UK, though my first idea was that Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland were definitely linked together by their repeated defeats against the french rugby team. I will soon indicate the email of the "winners" all around the earth : you will just have to contact them if you want a tape. Cheers!

Sinister: The shortest review ever
by Janine Papp 21 Sep '98

21 Sep '98

this is the review of The Boy With the Arab Strap that I'm going to run in my zine: Belle and Sebastian are the best band in the world. Buy this album immediately if you haven't already done so.

Sinister: Guitar chords from The Boy...
by Reid 21 Sep '98

21 Sep '98

On a slow Saturday afternoon last week, I figured out three of the easier songs on, erm, the "new album" and I wrote them all down for Mr. Mitchell's sheet music department of the Sinister page, but they're still not there. Not to say that Paul's done anything wrong...I mean, anyone with the nickname of "Honey" is sure to be too busy for such trivial matters. So what I'm getting to here, is that I have the chords to these songs, and I'll give them to you here in a very basic form. I have them all in the usual, more detailed form, with the chords above the lyrics, and I'd be happy to forward them to anyone who wants, and I'll be especially happy to forward them to anyone who won't be afraid to tell me that I'm wrong. This is what I've got: "Is It Wicked Not to Care" (chord shapes): (capo on first fret) G/C/G/C/G/D for the verses Am/D for the chorus: "If there was a sequel"... "The Boy With The Arab Strap": It's just G and C pretty much all the way through, and then D for the turns ("You're the boy with the filthy (D)laugh, you're the boy with the arab (G) strap"). The trick part is hammering onto the 2nd string, first fret (C) when you play the G chord, in that "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" thing. "The Rollercoaster Ride" The verses are just D and G. The choruses are A/G/A/G/Bm/G/D/G I'm not entirely sure about the chorus, but it sounds okay to me. Let me know if I have it wrong. ~Reid -- "I told myself I'd head to someplace exotic, Portland maybe or Tacoma, Washington, but deep down I knew that once my bags were packed, I'd return to North Carolina." -David Sedaris +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Sarahs right.

Sarah wrote; Please stop listing bands.......it's making my head thump Now Jake writes; Please stop listing bands.......it's making my head thump. Sorry to have to be the one who says this, but things are starting to get a little bit repetitious on this front. That is about 30 people who have now decided to take it upon themselves to tell a likeminded group of people that they like the same sort of music as them. Ground breaking stuff! Can we just leave it there, please. Oh and while I'm here can i just make a quick plea? Can anyone do me a tape of the stuff that V-TWIN and LOOPER have released? I would have bought them myself but my local indie is the crappest place you can imagine, I almost died of shock to see that they had Philophobia on the shelves within a month of its release. And for some reason they decided that they just wouldn't stock any stuff by B&S. And it's not that they have had it in and it has just sold out. They never had it. It just means that I have to take my business to the Woolies down the road. Only joking. I just have to travel the 20 odd miles into Brighton to find a decent record shop. Still as B*Witched say. C'est la Vie Jake. Oh and by the way my favourite bands are...................... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

A hearty and heartfelt good morning to you all from the heart of California's cabbage-growing country.... Sorry to propogate the "knee-jerk" message trend that seems to have overrun the list lately, but i do have a legitimate question: Does anyone know where to find guitar chords to TWISTYBASS* (especially "DD#2", "Career", and "Strap"? i've looked at just about all the B*S sites i can find and still i'm denied the pure pleasure of sitting in my room for hours on end fumbling my way through (no not THAT) my favorite new B*S songs on my trusty six-string that has a Hot Wheels and a four-leaf clover sticker on it... i can't wait to meet a whole lot of you in Philly and NY...look for the flounderer with a "judy" name patch on her jumper...ooh, i said jumper. Englishness is contagious, don't get too close. Thanks lovies kim *name that reference -- it's a Neil Finn song. He rules too. i don't care what you say. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: Celtic, dead list grandees and the death of romance

(by Stuart > David) This bit always confuses me. Can anyone explain why Chris wanted Celtic to win the poxy League Cup rather than the Premiership or the FA Cup? Is this a telling example of Belle and Seabstian's smallness of ambition that the reviewers are always telling us about? Did he not want Celtic to get 'too big'. Or were Celtic just out of the running for everthing but the League Cup by this stage of the 96-7 season. Do tell. I work in a newspaper library and was most alarmed to come across a file marked "Robert McTaggart" in the Dead People section. I was chilled to the bone, I don't mind tell you. Turns out Tag was a Scottish Labour MP who died in the 1980s. How awful for him. All this young boy sighing talk has made me realise that however much like to think of myself as a swooning romantic oaf, I don't really sigh. Except when I'm tired.
