If that wasn't what you were thinking, Sarah, try it, it works. My friend Simon thinks I am mad because I worked this out. He may be right. Fantastic to see B&S nominated for best newcomer in the Brits along with that other new band Cornershop. They really do have their finger on the pulse down at the BPI (if that's who still does the Brits). The Sun today had a bit about the nominees, and a wee section about the fact that they nominated people you have never heard of. uh-oh I thought, but they were actually getting steamed into Lynden David Hall. And quite right too. They also suggested that Neil Finn was not a worthy nominee for best international male (strangely that means that they think Pras and Will Smith are). Stuart, trust me, you do not need to know who Hinda Hicks is. I trust you all had bearable new years, and it's lovely to have you all back. You all seem much cheerier than you were in 1998, and a lot more talkative. It's nice, please continue. I have exams looming and I need all the nice things around me that I can muster from anywhere. And does anyone know why it doesn't seem to snow in Paisley? Life would be much lovelier if everything were covered in snow, I think. Sorry to be so sad re. Last of the Summer Wine. I need some sleep I think.

Sinister: another one about the Brits
by ana simic 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

yes, I reeeally like this subject! It's rather funny to see that nobody (sorry if i missed out something) on the list seems to be LOATHED by the fact that our dear B&S's were nominated. yes, I know, they aren't that much of an insider tip any more, but I _definitely_ would not like the fact of having some Billie-fans (or who ever's of that kind) even _knowing_ about Belle&Sebastian, not to mention the possibility of _listening_ to them!!! This is a rather childish attitude, I guess, but it simply comes from the fact that I _love_ this band.....It's simply a spontaneaus reaction. take care you all Ana P.S: I will actually have to miss the Brit Awards...we simply do not get it, here where i live... ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: live in toronto/first post

>hello everyone... >i was just wondering if anyone was in the toronto area? >nice list you have here! >>>>danielle Hi, I live in to, are you as mad as I am that the show was cancelled? I've been on this list for about two weeks and since everyone's doing it I guess I should write my first posting. Uh... I don't realy have much to say, my life is incredibly boring and tedious and I'm not clever enough to make something up. Just thought of something, um.. belle and sebastian are really good. There, I said it. I don't realy listen to this type of music but when I heard them it was like an epiphany. Come to think of it b&s and billy childish are the only british music I listen to. I guess what I like about them is that they are so honest and intimate, kind of like lo-fi (which if any of you have not heard you should really check out, I highly recommend early sebadoh stuff, or daniel johnston)Well.. That's it, bye. thank you for your time Matthew +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Kinky Love!
by Sleeka Sounds 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

Hullo, I wrote you all a letter the other day, but it still hasn't appeared, christ knows why, something to do with computers. I know nothing about them. Anyway, I'm trying again through the Corporation free email thing. See below. Christophur Leonard ---------- Letter: Tag I apologise to you for forcing you to listen to David Bowie making a funny noise. But not as much as I apologise to Anne for turning up in her flat in such a drunken state, making loud sweary noises down the phone. Sorry Anne. I'm terribly embarrassed. To tell the truth Tag, I'm not sorry at all for the Bowie incident. I'd have done the same sober, it's a very funny noise indeed. But I am sorry Anne. Sorry. Now then, on Saturday me and miss julia went to visit Honey and Linda and he's still alive and talking to me, and he's an absolute stud of a girl. We watched the Modern Rock Song video. Oh dear. I found it quite amusing, especially when the screen splits into two parts. I hoped it would then split into 4 then 8 then 16 then 32 then 64 until it was a mosaic of Stuart's face, but it didn't at all. But Sarah Martin made it didn't she, so it's great and so are v-twin and the singer in v-twin. I mean it. Linda showed us her fancy Christmas lights which have ten settings and cost thirty pounds. And she showed us a picture of Oon's mum and dad. Sing love and respect to Oon and her king! If you were here Oon, I'd give you a big hug, just cause. But I'm a bit worried I'd break you, since you're so little and I'm so big. Thailand looks nice, miles more interesting than Singapore. Also I got to see the duke's book. Is there a follow up yet? If so I think you should have a competition for the title. I noticed some well known listees made it into the book. I'm going to be in the next one by provoking some wisdom from the Duke. Duke, I've made it easy, you can cut and paste this bit below: ========= Date: Tue, 05 Jan 1999 14:09:05 +0100 From: Christopher Alexander Leonard <cleonard(a)bowienet.net.co.net> Subject: Sinister: pop "Pop" or "pop"? I'm lost..... Yours, Chris from Balfron =============== Excellent, Fluffy Starry Sarah: >Who does the *ducks on a pond, ducks on a pond, >very pretty swimming around* song please? I am fond of it. God bless you Sarah. It is the Incredible String Band. Robin Williamson wrote it. Bye, Chris P.S. Did anyone else see Mick Cooke's understated performance as the hotel Bellboy in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" the other night? Uncanny. PPS. It was Adrian Evans on the balcony with a Littlewoods catalogue. ------------ visit the corporation! http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~calnd/sleeka/ ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: 1999: Sinister Year of Quality
by David Moore 12 Jan '99

12 Jan '99

Hi Honeyspawn, I haven't been able to bring myself to delete any of the outpourings (or should that be outpooings?) of Honey's Digestive system in the last few days yet: with Volume 3 he seems to have increased my dose to Sinister Digest Classic rather than that Lite stuff he had been feeding me in the last few months. The return of Sinister elder statesmen, with tales of smutty hogmanay japes, dirty phone calls, Incredible String Band references and all. I've even laughed out loud at one or two posts - keep this up please chaps. It was really great to hear the Black session on R1 the other evening, but a bit of a swiz to only get four tracks. I think we should ALL write to that nice Mr Lamacq and ask him politely to air the rest of the gig. His address is steve.lamacq(a)bbc.co.uk (tht's right, no t's or w's), or there's a simple mail form to fill in at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/mailroom/mailroom.html . Go on, he won't be able to resist 800+ of us, and we can limber up our people power for getting our heroes the Brit award. I feel left out, having never heard any Felt, Denim or The Pastels - anyone want to make me a sampler tape? I'll send you a nice late 60's acid rock tape in return :) Anne Ward signs off Happy Trails: that album (by Quicksilver Messenger Service) used to be my favourite, the one you have to listen to every Sunday night to make sure the next week's going to be alright. Robert Morris: when complaining of spam, please don't quote all the aforesaid in your reply, try some judicious editing, or you too will become a Spam Robert, or even worse, a spam fritter. Thanks. Chris Leonard ate ail and got smelly. The remedy for this is supposed to be to eat lots of fresh parsley - then you can forget the fact that you are stinking the room out, and just be paranoid about opening your mouth to talk to anyone because your teeth are garnished with lots of half-chewed green slime. Also more fun than the bleach, although I once knew a girl who brushed her teeth with Domestos to keep them white. Mrs Murdoch: please keep us updated on wee Stuart's progress with his attempts to curb his nasty bedtime habits. Any top household tips on how to remove crispiness from sheets appreciated too. Tag likes the Tamperer, and so do I and my friend the cat, having been introduced to them/her/it by my twelve year old who is currently alternating between singing about supermodels on his d and entertaining us with a spot-on impression of Cartman's rasping rendition of In The Ghetto. Live At Leeds (that one doesn't really work, does it?)

Sinister: cioccolato ripieno con crema alla menta
by jessica 12 Jan '99

bonjour listies, firstly, a plea for a job: anything in toronto involving design or graphics or simply not in retail. really, i've had almost enough of saying "i'm sorry, but just because it's the wrong colour and size and it's had juice spilled on it doesn't mean that it's defective and that we have to take it back". kevan "it's all good" cooke wrote: >>Perhaps Struan picked up a few Americanisms on tour, and they've rubbed off on his mother<< so long as stuart hasn't taken to rubbing off on his mother, we'll all be okay. there's smut and then there's smut. underwear today: i've discovered the bliss of the undershirt (as opposed to the bra - a nice bra is nice, but i've been so inspired by tit films and boogie nights i had to give it a try). it's also true that nice undershirts come with nice underwear, mine today has a blue platform shoe embroidered on the front, and is white with pink trim. of course, my underwear coordinates. i never did this until a few weeks ago, i think it comes from a fear of getting stuck in this snow and being taken to the hospital and having handsome interns discover that my underwear is not matching. but i am still only wearing plain socks. black or white or grey for everyday, those ones with individual pockets for the toes on special occasions. which yes, have been laughed at, but i get the last laugh when i can wear my thong sandals well into fall. luv, jessicaxo * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * someone had spied on us, i suppose, as we sat beside the canal and ate the sandwiches, drinking not even orangeade or coca-cola but hot milk out of a thermos. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * t i n y s t a r @ w o r l d y . c o m (it's lovely being a girl) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: " half his time in a Buddhist monastery and half his time in a mental institution."

> well buddy is suspiciously familiar t j.d. himself. he lives in the > forest and is an isolit. > Alley Oop, yes he is somewhat similar. > anyway, that didn't really answer the question as to where he lives. Cornish, New Hampshire to be exact. Every once in awhile some media outlet will stalk Mr Salinger in his home town ( Esquire magazine one of the most recent I can think of, and the Boston Globe wrote a story about a year ago about some stupid prep school teacher who took his entire class to Cornish to stalk poor old JD.

Sinister: Nick Drake, Felt...Abba, Queen??
by bkim0＠dept.english.upenn.edu 12 Jan '99

12 Jan '99

As I had mentioned waaay before, there is a section of "You Made Me Forget My Dreams" (the piano break) that sounds exactly like the beginning of Abba's "S.O.S." Well, now my fellow Sinistars, I have found yet another strange soundalike to "The Boy With The Arab Strap"--don't know the title but the artist is Queen and it goes "Ooh you make me live...you're the best friend that I ever had...ooh, you're my best friend!" Both seem to have the same Rhodes shuffle. Scary. Oh well, better B&S kept that than Freddie's soaring vocals (no offense to Queen fans, I'm just saying do we need another Queen wannabe band to tarnish their reputation? Yes, yes, that's what I meant...). Requisite Sinister diary entry: I was so happy about finally getting to drink champagne at New Year's that I went out and bought two bottles of Korbel Extra Dry on Sunday. I've made it through one and a half bottles so far (not by myself, and with some Looza Peach Nectar it's damn good). Korbel is marketing itself as the "Official Champagne of the Millenium" and "Times Square 2000" is also on its label. Crass, crass, crass. Anyway, my point is, it's one of my resolutions to drink more champagne. I think everyone can benefit from a similar resolution (you could even go that healthy wine route!).
