Sinister: chart position for belle and sebastian
by Katrina House 13 Sep '98

13 Sep '98

having sat here for the past 3 hours and twiddled our fingers in every possible way whilst we waited for the charts to come through, we eventually found the info first on the net. anyhow, this is it, the confirmed chart poisition for the album in the official UK chart. Belle and Sebastian went in at number 12 on the album chart and number 1 on the indie album chart, yippee! which we thought was bloody brilliant, we don't know how many sales secured that position, but just maybe the four we bought yesterday made a difference :) anyhow, that's that spurt of excitement done - just a short congratulations to the band for creating such a masterpiece. david & katrina PS: things currently being worked on - a rock family tree for the band - a re-vamped shop - the refreshed fiction section - getting mugs and posters available for mail order - improving the news mailing list - adding a page (when i get the chance to write it) for newbies to b&s. anyone wanting to contribute to any of the above should contact me privately - i already have a few of them sorted, it's just things like the rock family tree i need a hand with :) -=- Jeepster Recordings Ltd, 217 Canalot, 222 Kensal Road, London W10 5BN http://www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian/ mailto:shop@jeepster.co.uk +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: new lp description
by OLDSCHREC＠aol.com 13 Sep '98

13 Sep '98

Well-informed customer tells us that an arab strap is a sexual aid for horses that helps their penises to point in the correct direction. Customer also tells us that the particular B&S song with this title is making fun of (the band) Arab Strap's lead singer who is forever whining about his failed relationships. And the lyric does in fact read, "the boy WITH the arab strap". Make of this what you will. Current bestseller in the lispy pop department. I got this from an e-mail catalogue.

Sinister: What comedian?
by Fluffy Sarah 13 Sep '98

13 Sep '98

OK, hello miss conscience... I'm just writing again to say sorrry for my last paragraph thing.... Just that if I was Isobel and I read what I just wrote, I would be gutted, that may just be my over sensitivity but hey! Isobel I am sure is a lovely thing. Just wears the most ugly item of clothing in the world : pedal pushers. I mean, yuk, who invented them....sorry! But as a "young teen" (I'm Just 17 you know!!!) clothes matter to me - as in wearing trendy dude clothes is despicable. And "you had a whole lotta fun with the comedian", which one? Sean Hughes? Phwoar! Heheh! As long as it is not Roy Chubby Brown. Oh sorry, he isn't even classed as comedian. Argh! Sorry! I'm going! As you know! I'm not going to post again! I've got a job, it's crap and I don't like it. And I haven't even started my first day yet. I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Sinister: What's Got 4 Legs, Talks Peculiar?
by PJMiller 13 Sep '98

13 Sep '98

My mother-in-law says that "The Rollercoaster Ride" is nice and relaxing. And better than Frank Sinatra. Former Whitehouse Chief of Staff Chris Leonard wrote: 19. Peter Miller 25 (Unlucky , but at least you bet the duke.) I always suspected my pop knowledge was greater than the Duke's, and now it's official. From now on kids, listen to me. I'll tell you what's what in the world of pop. Rodney wrote: 7. So who's going to be the first to post their 10 biggest wanks? Thou mewling, reeling-rip codpiece, Rod. Whilst you and some of your young chums might be able to rustle up ten big wanks in two shakes of a baa-lamb's tail, us elderly gents will never manage it in time. We'll just be starting work on big wank number nine when the new album comes out, which will no doubt contain even fouler, more depraved suggestions. Katrina wrote: i've heard that a couple of band members were continually visiting the loos before the gig, as they've never played anything of that size before. What a pair of mammering, horn-mad pumpions! Adrian Evans wrote: Alternatively just send them to Disco Sister Miller who will generously donate them to his favourite girl guides troop as a tent. Thou wenching, boil-brained hedge-pig, Adrian. And it wasn't me that took a shine to your Kate. Nor was it me shouting at the McDonald's security cameras. I know that's what you were implying, you roguish, clapper-clawed pantaloon, but it won't wash. Nice to have you back. Good holiday? Pray silence for Keith Watson: Oh and Peter, it's probably not work the money for the UNKLE album, it's not really that great, it isn't as good as DJ Shadow on the whole. The only DJ Shadow track I've heard is "Midnight at the Lost and Found" on a compilation, which is nice musically, but I find his philosophising somewhat uninspiring. My interest in UNKLE stems from two smashing remixes, of Can and The Jon Spencer Bloooooooes Explosion, which consist mainly of turning the drums up to eleven, something of which I wholeheartedly approve. On one of my regular quests for something N!E!W! and exciting to listen to, I saw the albums by Hefner and Lambchop. I see the latter contains a cover version of one of my favourite seduction epics, "Give Me Your Love" by Curtis Mayfield. Oh, and Stuart wasn't whispering "that was gorgeous" after Isobel's rendition of "Is It Wicked Not to Care", he was whispering "hoist yer drawers up!", a timely warning after spotting a bit of bloomer lace protuding from beneath her skirt, at the back.

Sinister: Elvis & Spaceboy Lyrics
by brier＠pipeline.com 13 Sep '98

13 Sep '98

Heeeee, Could anyone take a minnit to either send me or tell me where I can find the lyrics to "A Century of Elvis" and "A Space Boy Dream"? I've tried to figure them out and gotten quite far, despite only the first line of each being printed in the booklet... And damn, is "Elvis" a CAT??? I rather liked thinking of the song as refering to Presley himself, but it's good because now I have two ways of seeing it. Thanks, Brier

RE: Sinister: more rubbish for you to delete
by jj 13 Sep '98

>.. and other such frenzied pantsless ironies. Well I say, P!O!O! to >all your Felt, Nick Drake and Peters & Lee references, why hasn't >anyone mentioned Stevie's quote on Chickfactor from "Derek and Clive >Live", viz., "what's the worst job you've had?". The answer was >something to do with lobsters up your Wembley (which, incidentally, >still remains a mystery). um, i assumed that was a reference to the zine Chickfactor myself, seeing as Gail and co's interviews are full of such questions (ie. the interview with sarah martin where she's asked "do you have a job?" and "what's your favorite book?" and the one with isobel where she's asked "what makes you really angry, besides the NME?")...not to mention the sections where they ask loads of music types the same question and just list all the responses. anyone who hasn't read Chickfactor should really get out pen and paper and write for a copy at 245 east 19th street #12T, new york NY 10003 usa. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * fantastic po box 4492 ann arbor mi 48106 usa http://www.fantasticpop.com ...the finest in frantically cool pop... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: ...........sounds likes..........
by kenny 12 Sep '98

12 Sep '98

Look I don't want to offend anyone but......(believe me this is always a good way to start a letter) At 18 I'm too young (and not knowledgable in the modern classics,although while under the b&s influence I bought 2 Nick Drake albums) to have heard almost all of the stuff that TWATTYBUSDRIVERWHO'SGOTSTYLE supposedly sounds like. As a result I can listen to it for what it is: one hell of an album. I suggest you do the same and forget about plagerism, even if it is blatent as alledged! Best track: Space boy dream or maybe Dirty dream #2 Jake xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
