Sinister: my 2 cents, consolidated
by Janine Papp 10 Sep '98

10 Sep '98

http://thetransom.com/chip/zines/noframes/interv/raw7.html this is about buses and it's funny as hell. (I'm a big fan of buses.) I just purchased 2 tickets from ticketmaster for the Nov. 1st show and had to pay all this extra $$$ for all their crappy service charges. I was going to wait until tomorrow to buy tickets from Other Music but I was afraid it would sell out! I will buy tickets to the Nov. 2nd show there. :) oh yeah and one time I saw Elliott Smith practice - in my living room. how's that for a small venue? (it's a long story) I think he's great. I wonder who is opening for B&S in the U.S.?? needless to say TBWTAS is great. and of course lots of songs sound like other songs - that's what happens when you have a choice of ABCDEF and G, there's only so much you can do with it. Of course, it's the feeling in the music that makes it special and above and beyond average. it's in the lyrics, it's in the way they play it - oh you all know this so I'm shutting up now because the list is clogged up enough as it is. oh ONE last thing -I think maybe people should stop posting long reviews of the album to the list - you could tell us where to find it and we can pursue it on our own. OK now I'm really done.

Sinister: Barcode Ellen
by Michael Jones 09 Sep '98

09 Sep '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* In response to a couple of things Andy posted... Barbara Ellen has fashioned an entire career out of being profoundly wrong about every single significant musical event of the past 10 years. I could give examples, but I can't be bothered. 'Boy-scout production' ? It's practically audiophile, for God's sake. Deaf *and* stupid. (I really shouldn't be quite so riled by ignorant rockcrits, but this is Belle And Sebastian and I *refuse* to see the other point of view). The woman at Our Price (Victoria station branch - 7:45am !) had trouble swiping the bar-codes on my CD and cassette copies too - eventually resorted to processing dummy cases that they seemed to have stacked on the shelves next to the actual albums. Which leaves us facing the prospect of enormous first-week sales and no chart position whatsoever. How very B&S. No precious 180g black slabs yet though - they "don't do vinyl" here in Crawley... Mike (not Pam, as I may have misleadingly suggested last night...) _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: what release?
by Laurel Girvan 09 Sep '98

09 Sep '98

ink polaroid from yesterday, 9.8.98 if you hold this photo so the light doesn't hit the flat spot that was caused from dabbing off melted ice cream, you can see me gesticulating wildly at the poor girl working at Virgin records. there's a bit of a sheen on my face and my shirt is sticking to me cuz i've been carrying too many bags around looking for this brand new store. now that i'm here, i've just been told they don't have TBWTAS, though the shopgirl is just as upset as i am, as she's been looking to buy it ever since she got to work that morning. the only thing keeping my face from appearing as a horrible rictus of anguish is a bit of a joke. you see, the shopgirl misheard me. when i said i was *looking* for the new album, she heard *working* for the new album, so i had a few seconds of label exec fame. of course, it didn't get me the album any sooner. so i'm off to the store after work again today - here's hoping. smooches to all you kittens, laurel +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: non-home homesickness
by barzy＠networkmags.com 09 Sep '98

09 Sep '98

>I have been experiencing a very strange phenomena. It's homesickness >but, well, I'm in London and I'm at home. I've always lived in this part >of East London, bordering on Essex, bar Uni at Canterbury and seven >months in Dundee. But ever since Monday night and meeting all the lovely >people I met (mostly Scottish) I have been pining for Scotland; I too have recently experienced this strange phenomena. *sigh* Two mates from Scotland (Aberdeen and Glasgow) came over (to LA) for a visit, and have left me very homesick for my non-home. Of course, I made the both of them listen to Belle & Sebastian the whole time...but I don't think they minded too much....I too miss Dundee...especially the view from the b-seat of a train...going over the bridges...ow...it hurts. Ow ow ow. LA seems so much uglier with my little Scots gone..No more cups of tea waiting for me when I get home. Arse biscuits. My best mate (the one from Aberdeen) has been here for 2 weeks and i'd not anticipated how sad i'd be when she went back. I tend to cork up everything so that it all comes out in one ugly mess...this usually occurs unexpectedly, in the car..listening to Belle & Sebastian. It was on the way home from work, when I realized that she'd be gone when I got home, on her way back to dreary Aberdeen...and i'd still be here..in sunny, putrid LA. and it happend...about 10 seconds into "Is It Wicked Not To Care"....the floodgates opened on the 101 heading South. Why does this happen whilst listening to B&S? I think there's something in the music that allows us to feel sorry for ourselves..or MAKES us......something I don't do often....or if I do, it's all corked up and stuffed away for... the next time i'm listening to Belle & Sebastian. Sheilding her face from the sun she says, "is that the bonnie brae?" crumbs. beth +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
