Hi Debbie and everyone, Haven't posted in ages, bet you forgot all about me--unless you're one of the darksiders on irc. At 05:52 PM 9/14/1998 -0400, debbie.spiers(a)utoronto.ca wrote: >i don't know if this works, but i'm trying. i'm from toronto, canada and >have spent the last two summers in europe trying to see belle and >sebastian. i haven't seen anything new in stores and the web pages don't >seem to have been updated in a year. >are they still around?? >nobody in toronto know who belle and sebastian are, so i'm alone here. >somebody please help!! A few things: 1. At the end of this post you'll see the URL for the mailing list website, which will give you all the latest info you'll need, as well as links to oodles of other sites. Are you s*bscribed? Which webpages are you looking at anyhow? Just in case you're not subbed, the URL is: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister 2. You can get the new album just about anywhere in downtown Toronto, from the big HMV at 333 Yonge St. to the indie shops on Queen St. W and thereabouts. Got mine at HMV for $18.99--boo hiss for buying it there, I know I know. 3. Lastly, you are not the only one in Toronto who knows them--though trust me, I know the feeling. We are there, lurking about, but haven't gotten off our sorry asses to organize a picnic. Yet. However: Belle & Sebastian Saturday, October 24th -- Opera House As Katrina has mentioned, tickets go on sale @ $16 a pop this Thursday at Ticketmaster (boo hiss), Rotate This (downtown, Queen & Bathurst) and Sonic Temple (though who in their right mind would travel to North York to buy a ticket, I don't know.) It's 19+ and I know they are very strict about carding, so either show up early and smuggle in with the band, or you know, have some ID. *** [May I just get a complaint out of the way and register my dismay at the choice of venue. Evil bouncers and horrible choice of drinks at the bar. Be warned, do not bring large knapsacks because they are likely to go through them or make you check them, the bastards! Cameras are probably also forbidden, depending on how busy it is. I have seen many a time when they had bouncers roaming the venue, making sure no one was taking pictures, handing out flyers or smoking that stuff that smells funny. Not that any of you would do that, of course. ;-) Anyhow, perhaps we can all gang up on them, tie them up and then have a lovely time. Or perhaps the owner will think "Pah! Belle & Sebastian, won't be but a bunch of cardie wearing biscuit nibbling wussies, no security guards needed." ] *** And though I can't attend if there's a meet-up on the Saturday before the show, myself and my darling surprise guest could probably make it to a picnic on the Sunday. Provided we aren't still passed out from the festivities of the night before, of course. 5 1/2 weeks until we rule, damnit, elisabeth xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the bright side
by Riddley13＠aol.com 15 Sep '98

15 Sep '98

Today I rode my bike to get tickets to the Nov 2 show in NYC. Tickets I now have, but my bike I do not. In the less than five minutes spent picking up the tickets, someone took bolt cutters to my lock and made off with my bicycle. [Insert many expletives here.] I took the train home in a daze with the only consolation being the tickets to see Belle and Sebastian. I can always get another bike. I think I would have been more pissed off if the show had been sold out. some of my friends don't understand that sentiment (the ones not going to the show, obviously) but I figured most of you would. i better put these tickets in the safe now ... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: wash d.c. show
by Damon Seils 15 Sep '98

15 Sep '98

Very quickly... Tickets for the Washington, D.C., show at the Black Cat are now on sale through Ticketmaster. They are something like $13 or $14, plus all of the crap service charges. If you want to avoid some of the service charges, you can purchase tickets in person at the Black Cat's box office. The show is on October 30, and you can find the Black Cat's concert information by calling 202-667-7960 or by going to their little Web site at http://www.washingtonpost.com/yp/blackcat/. Umm...by the way, I'm only assuming that this information is correct because I have actually bought my tickets. I would imagine that means everything is confirmed, etc. But, Katrina and David, feel free to paddle me if I've said anything misleading. Or even if not.

I was wondering if there is anyone in the U.S. who would be willing to tape or trade me a copy of Tigermilk. I use to live in Nebraska (now Arizona) so it was impossible for me to find a copy. You can e-mail me privately.

Sinister: chubby knees
by tinystar＠worldy.com 14 Sep '98

14 Sep '98

>HA! Yes! Pedal Pushers ARE EVIL! Following on - you must be a pretty >evil person to wear them, OR, just seriously misguided. In everything. Oh, I've always loved capri pants (aka pedal pushers, aka clam diggers)! They can make you feel quite sassy when driving in a car with the top down, or hanging out the moonroof of a Volvo (prime capri pant-wearing activities) or even just shopping with a scarf around your head. Quite Emma Peel, if I may say so. They're flash with trainers and tank tops and a cardigan and Dr Scholls sandals, and best of all they hide my knees (which I find are a little too chubby for my tastes, my legs are fine but I do have chubby knees). Now capri pants with platform shoes, that's not right, but with trainers there's nothing wrong. Trendy kids all wear them with their platform running shoes and teeny little tops with too much makeup on, but I can't help how much I love those pants. And I made a few pairs too, for the summer, one has cargo-like pockets on the side which is so handy! All of you who hate capri pants and call them clam diggers, you've just not seem the right sort of pair, mine are Stussy Sista hip-huggers made of sweatpant material and they really are sublime, none of that stretch denim shit for me. My trainers are also lovely, they're old skool with bright orange and purple arrows on the sides, they go quite well with my backpack which has a reflective stripe on the back. I do hope some of you can abandon your hostility towards capri pants and see that they are not evil, they're just for those of us who are knee-shy. truly, jessicaxo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Debut Post and Scottish Snow Patrol Date!
by Paul Gardiner 14 Sep '98

14 Sep '98

hello to everyone, this is my first post after a month of hiding out in the shadows (the cold, dark type that is, not the hank marvin type). before I continue a little bit of Snow Patrol news I heard on Saturday. The band will be playing in Kirkcaldy, Scotland on Friday 23 October in the Path Tavern which is a tiny pub which holds about 75 people at the most. The landlady of the pub told me it is a pay at the door type thing and about 3 pounds to get in and who am I to argue? After all the pedal pusher furore I decided to try and find out what the hell they looked like. The only picture I found was this lady penelopy type one at http://www.thevision.net/alana/genepic.JPG If this is not what they look like please someone tell me! Fashion was never my strong suit. Finally I am delighted that my home town Dundee got a mention on Seymour Stein and to all homesick, exiled Dundonians, you are not missing much by being away. Latest Dundee music news....Grouchos has moved to a new shop in the Overgate but is about to be demolished and Chalmers and Joy has shut down to be replaced by a mini-market :( thank you Paulg +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
