Sinister: Hidden B&S Zombies Tribute
by brier＠pipeline.com 09 Sep '98

09 Sep '98

Of course! Now I figgered it out. The opening of "Simple Things" sounds exactly like it wants to launch into "She's Not There" by the Zombies. If you don't believe me, just listen to it (She's Not There, that is). Anyone who doesn't agree is not a zombie and therefore thoroughly Not There. Reporting back, Brier

So she's talking about us when she says "you've wasted many hours / talking endlessly to anyone that's there"? P.S. I would love her till she's dead. -Brier

Sinister: I HATE LABOR DAY!

09 Sep '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* I am so mad, mad, mad that I could not purchase the new album today. None of the seven major record stores in Fresno CA (e.g. Tower, the Wherehouse, Borders, BestBuy, etc.) got their shipments of the new album in, thanks to Labor Day weekend, no doubt. David and Katrina, could you please kindly kick some Matador butt? I feel so betrayed, as IF Matador didn't know the holiday would screw up the mail system. One day earlier, kids. Harumph. Love all around otherwise, Miss Erin P.S. David, you look exactly as I pictured you. Your nose is swell. :) ______________________________________________________ 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".

Re: Sinister: jeepster-news: Belle & Sebastian - USA Confirmed Dates and new ...
by TFertig3＠aol.com 08 Sep '98

08 Sep '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Just a quick question, will B&S play in NY on November 2 as well? Is it just not confirmed yet? It make all the difference for me.. Secondly, after listening to the new album some more, I still think it's not as good as the other fantastic things they've done, but it is quite excellent. After all the hype about Seymour Stein, I must disappointed to realize it is my least favorite song on the album, along with Chickfactor. Everything else (besides the Rollercoaster Ride which is okay) is wonderful! Sounds like 50's and 60's sometimes. And at the beginning of A Summer Wasting Stuart sounds exactly like Donovan, but then he sounds like him quite a lot. I miss the little stories that go in the sleeve; they make me happy. Hmm, that's my review. Oh, and Ease Your Feet in the Sea is my favorite. Bye!

Sinister: Arab Strap Review
by Arthur Chan 08 Sep '98

08 Sep '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* I was browsing through PointCast, went to their music section and found this review. If your interested, here it is : Belle and Sebastian <Picture>THE BOY WITH THE ARAB STRAP | MATADOR <Picture>BUY IT BY CHRIS LEHMAN | "If You're Feeling Sinister," the de facto debut offering from Scottish Wunderkinder Belle and Sebastian, was a bracing but exhilarating primer in long-neglected pop fundamentals. Unassuming front man Stuart Murdoch delivered closely observed, sly and morose songs; the rest of the band supplied spare but hypnotically tuneful backing. It was the kind of seamless folk-inflected pop that the word "winsome" was invented to describe. Now, of course, the eminently justified critical embrace of "If You're Feeling Sinister" casts a long and almost certainly unfair shadow on the band's new disc, "The Boy With the Arab Strap." And just as understandably, the new disc finds the band in a restless, experimental mood. The short opening character study, "It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career," segues briskly into the insistent, synth-heavy rhythms of "Sleeping the Clock Around," only to lurch back to folkie introspection in a listless ode to clotted affect, "Is It Wicked Not to Care?" But it's also around here that the listener starts getting suspicious: The tag line of the song's outro chorus is "Would you love me till I'm dead?" a direct lift from the outro chorus of "Northern Sky," by the ethereal '70s folkie Nick Drake, one of Belle and Sebastian's most frequently cited musical ancestors. It seems that Murdoch and company are starting to tire of their own sense of youthful self-discovery and have set about indulging in the postmodern game of cataloging influences. Indeed, many of the new disc's songs seem like little more than involuted studies in pop allusion: The supremely ill-advised venture into Glaswegian trip-hop, "Spaceboy Dream," for example, sounds like a shotgun wedding between John Cale and A Tribe Called Quest. "Seymour Stein," a labored depiction of an uncool record company executive, sounds like Love's Arthur Lee on a particularly smug day. Even the more musically robust and interesting tracks, such as "The Roller Coaster Ride" and "Dirty Dream #2," don't stir themselves lyrically to address anything more than an assortment of ill-defined "troubles" and the band's own chronic sense of aimlessness. You certainly don't want to give up on a band as promising and as abundantly gifted as Belle and Sebastian. But too much of "The Boy With the Arab Strap" defies you to do just that. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
