Sinister: hello be nice to me
by Sensitive Stan 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

It's raining today. Just thought you'd all like to know that. I didn't go out last night, I stayed at home and played games on my computer. Shall I tell you what level I've got to? Perhaps someone out there can help me to get past the pit with the spikes. I can't remember what pants I'm wearing, I put them on after my bath last thursday. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so sensitive, did I tell you how sensitive I am? I wish girls liked me. Perhaps then I could have a girlfriend. Will any of you be my girlfriend? What about Lesley Jo? No, she likes girls. FluffySarah? No, she has already got a boyfriend. It's not fair. I bet he's not as sensitive as me. I only buy vinyl you know. Does anyone want to trade tapes of rare singles or concerts recorded from the radio? I'm going to go out to a pub tonight with my friends, but I won't enjoy it. My friends will all tease me because I'm so sensitive. I hope I don't meet any girls. They make me stutter. Has anyone read any books? I love books, and films. Especially French films, I really connect with those because I am so sensitive. I went to the post office yesterday to buy some stamps. There was a pretty girl behind one of the counters, she had a nice smile, so I joined a different queue. I was there to buy some stamps. Does anyone else buy stamps? I hate licking the back of stamps, they taste horrible. Is anyone else in England? Perhaps we could all meet up. Why don't you e-mail me if you are in England. But only if you are as sensitive as I am. And not a girl. What's this Tigermilk record that everyone keeps going on about? I really like Belle and Sebastian, the singer sounds really sensitive like me. Which one is the singer, is it Sebastian? I bet it is, it's a really sensitive name. I really like Tori Amos too, I wish I was as sensitive as her. Did I mention that it's raining?

Sinister: hell-fire barbecue
by Mphintz＠aol.com 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

This afternoon I saw a large crowd of students gathered on their way between classes. Ah, the reason was just the hell-fire preacher, moved from across campus to save our souls. I doubt he would think much of us on this list--he sent nearly everyone in the crowd to hell "with Tupac". (Which is odd that he is still releasing records after being dead so long. If Stu M. were to have a gang-related 'accident'--I wish he were as prolific in death. Nick Drake isn't releasing more records since he died--he must be taking a vacation for a millenium or so). I doubt the preacher would think much of B&S either. The line about playing with oneself instead of going to church might upset him. My advice would be to not discuss politics or religion with this man. He rarely is still, and makes motions of throwing his Bible on the ground. I didn't stay to listen to him; I had important things to do. They involved at least one mortal sin.

Sinister: Alix and SWP
by Stanley,L 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

I could talk all day about politics, but I won't. Only I consider the SWP to simplistic and negative. I know something needs to be done to give this country a kick up the arse, but that's not going to happen if we sit on our own arses and shout about it, is it? Give benefits back to students, make them feel a part of a civic society, but if we starve unis of funds, we may come out with healthy bank balances but we're hardly going to be better off for it, are we? How about grants and tuition fees.... Anyway, I'm in the Labour Party, we get to go to policy fora and talk about these issues and pass the results on to conference, which is not so much shouting as talking civilly to the leaders. I'm a callous class traitor, but I want to see real progress like anyone else. Louise l.stanley(a)lse.ac.uk PS Sign me up for the tape tree, so's I can get back into the scene. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: re: new Keyhole release (promo)
by Keytapes＠aol.com 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

Hello, all. The next Keyhole cd, "Songs From An Attic", a 3 band/3 songs each compilation will be out shortly (release date: March 3rd). Why does this matter to you, B&S listees? 1) Migala, the lead-off band, toured Spain with Will Oldham and also was his back-up group. As well, Stuart David from Belle & Sebastian/Looper (as if you didn't know) has given much praise to Migala. 2) Greg Weeks, also on the cd, definitely fits into the "light Nick Drake- esque voice" category. 3) Tinsel, the third act, has a vibe and lyrics that most B&S fans should appreciate. 4) Dame Darcy (Meatcake, Rollerderby, etc) did the cover art. Email privately for more info. Thanks for the soapbox. -------Michael (Keyhole Records) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: A Cacaphony of Sentences
by Mick McMick * Sandcastle Records 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

Hello, Well, some interesting things today. Yes, again, the New Bad Things have absolutely nothing to do with B&S. However, did you know one of them is on Sha-La-La? He's actually in a band who has covered B&S (heard it with my own ears) and is probably doing a tape for Sandcastle. But I won't speak much of that, and personally I like his current band much better than the New Bad Things, and really am not terribly familiar with them. Reid writes: > Very intersting theory you got there...But, you've gotta figure that > "Paper Boat" will either be on the album or the single (the last I > heard, it was going to be THE single!), and as far as Stevie's stuff > goes, "The Wrong Girl" would probably make it onto the album. They > must have been writing like crazy, because I can only think of three > other songs that might possibly go on it, and doesn't it seem doubtful > that "Rhoda" would be on there? I'm assuming that we'll hear studio > versions of "The Lonliness.." and "Lord Anthony" (yay!) Katrina, care > to enlighten us on possible song choices? Yes, does everyone remember the post where Stu M posted and said they'd recorded "Paper Boat"? I think it's safe to assume it'll be on the single. I heard they wouldn't ever be recording "The Loneliness..." which I think would be an awful travesty. Hopefully that rumor was not true. I think that your prediction of the single is pretty accurate, Reed, as long as the rumor wasn't true. But personally, I just don't like Lord Anthony as much as everyone else seems to. It's nice, but no nicer than any other B&S song that's been out recently, except maybe Middle Distance Runner. As to the album itself, I do think it unlikely that they will be recording either "Rhoda," or "Tigermilk," as said songs appear to have dropped off of the face of the earth forever. Perhaps the band is doing the traditional band thing of debuting one or two songs at live shows, then writing the rest of the album right before recording the album. They must be, because otherwise they'd have to be using Struan's old tapes, and I don't think they've been doing that much lately. Anyway, that's all I have for today, no story time kiddies. I'll bring a felt board and some little felt bunnies to aid in the story tomorrow, to make up for it. /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick/Sandcastle Records <<->> bp224996(a)ohiou.edu \ / Sandcastle Records Homepage: ICQ#5056758 | | http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/4972/ | | "I am always wishing to make people | | in the world happy with my smiles." | | -Mr. Friendly +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
