by kleonard＠ecst.csuchico.edu 11 Jan '99

11 Jan '99

I have a copy of the japanese import of The Boy With The Arap Strap that I bought for $26 because I was curious if it had a second CD with Tigermilk or something, but unfortunatly it didn't have anything musically different. It does have all the Japanese lyrics, a hand written reccomendation from "Bonnie Pink" and a little bit different colored cover and CD... So if there's any completest who want to send me $20 for this, Postage paid (in the US) I let her go, because although I'm a completest, I am also a poor college student, and shouldn't have bought it in the first place.. any takers?..... Kirk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ E-mail Kirk Leonard at: logy(a)bayarea.net August 10th... Well, here I go in my final week at home before college. To anyone who cares, I'm hoping to be getting a new e-mail account there, so if youn want me to e-mail you once I have, go ahead and drop me a line... N.P.

Sinister: Life? Lemonheads? Sid james talks to me like god.
by Ben Parker 11 Jan '99

11 Jan '99

Life? Ended up at the good old bull & gate in kentish town on saturday night - some things never change, well the faces may change but the haircuts and smells, and drunks, do not. Best moment was someone shouting "be more scottish, be more scottish!" at the, indeed, scottish fallisms of the male nurse. And the first band did the delitefully cute thing of dishing out their homemade(?) cd's and 7inches to everyone in the audience, witch is always quite endering, even if the things will never actually get played. My first taste of b & s, if anyones interested (probably not, but then, i've read less interesting things in my time), was dog on wheels, which i brought on 7 inch out of interest, went back home and thought was "alright, nothing special", the b - side, the state that i am in, then continued to lodge itself so far into the brain that you reach a point of love or hate i suppose. Talking about the lemonheads, i still think Its a shame about ray is okay, quite nice. The rest of their stuff was pretty nasty, but that whole album was okay. But i agree that he is a bit of a twat. Naturally. Weird to think that when he had hair he was universally adored by many, though when it went, he wasn't. Even appeared on the nme as a girl, with bjork as a bloke if i remember correctly, such was his cred, a forerunner for role of "male star mate of bjork" before tricky and goldie got a look in. And strange to think he was once a sort of mate of oasis, like a prototype robbie williams or something. five years ago and the whole of the six-form were in love with him, now he's just wholly regarded as a twat, a shining wit gone the way of the whinning shit, i suppose. Such is the fickle nature of fame. Fame, fame , fatal fame.

Sinister: Re: jeepster-news: just some new year news :)
by Niceaction＠aol.com 11 Jan '99

The suntanned Davis & Katrina wrote (welcome back) << belle and sebastian the band have just been nominated for "best newcomer" for this years brit awards. the award will be voted for by the general public (ie you lot) in conjunction with radio one, so if you want b&s to win, either stay tuned to these news letters or bbc radio one (97-99fm). the awards are mid-february sometime, and we'll have more info for you later on. >> Is the list going to get into a big debate now, as to how lame the Brits are, and that this is going to turn Struan and his gang from Pop to popular ! i certainly hope not, or is that what this list is for ? hmmm I brought the book Young & Foolish today by the author known as Alistair Fitchitt. It is a snazzy IN YOUR FACE looking book with a strikingly blue cover to it. As much as i dont want to lick the Duke's arse, this is indeed a fine book. I'm sorry to say that i had not heard of most of the wee bands mentioned in the book, but dont let that put you off reading it, ive never seen the word Pop mention so many times, as well as words like Esurient, yoof culture, and juxtaposition, what a cool word, aint got a clue what it means, but im going to use it from now on, maybe when i'm describing how small my willy is ! Anyway, i cant put the book down, and i never read books, apart from Flat Stanley, The Twits, and The Witches.

Sinister: Re: belle & sebastian on aceeeeeeed!
by SErringt＠ahh.com 11 Jan '99

11 Jan '99

So here's the scoop on WFNX playing our beloved Belle & Sebby: I just called one of the djs (cruze if you need to know) because I heard him mention B&S on the air right after playing the Smiths, and because I didn't hear what he said about them, I called the station. When I asked if they were going to be added to the playlist, he said possibly (he's the program director too), but the reason why they were played on Friday night was because they were part of their "millennium preview weekend" where they played all "up and coming" bands that they think we'll all be listening to in the future. So there you go. - Sue >From: "paul dean" <akumulator(a)hotmail.com> >ok i was drunk, it was late & the sound was terrible but if you were in >boston beer works off fenway park on friday night i'm sure you would be >able to corroborate. >The radio station was WFNX & it was about midnight..the announcer >mentioned something about b&s and then proceeded to play a bangin' >chuune - about halfway through my girlfriend nudged me & said that it >was belle & sebby.

Sinister: I'm bored!
by JOE DIEDRICH 11 Jan '99

11 Jan '99

Dear sinister pals: Ahhh! Hello to you all! Some very interesting posts this fine day. I laughed quite a bit. It is snowing here in Micigan; we have at least a foot of snow and it won't stop. It is cold. When I took my dog outside in the backyard she could not walk through all of the snow because she is not tall enough. It was very funny to see her try though. She just sunk in the snow over her head. Belle and Sebastian have never played a concert here in Detroit. It is a sad thing because I would love to see them perform. And to be at the show when I know how great it is to be there. But they aren't as well known here. What a wonderful day that would be. My friend Jason saw them in Chicago a while ago. Too bad I have a study job every day or I would have gone too. I wish I could meet them i person. This may be a dumb question, and I truly don't mean to sound dim witted, but could someone please tell me what a "bollock" is. Oh boy you can tell that I'm from the states can't you?! Oh well, I am glad to see that everyone is happy. Me, well I'm bored with day to day life. I go to work, make "some fish and chips", and then I go home to watch television or read. Not that I'm complaining. I think I need a hobby. Any suggestions? okay, have a lovely day my friends. And congratulations to B&S on their nomination. It is a good thing right? Hugs and Kisses, Jonelle +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Am I the only person around here who thinks that sounds like a right laugh? A Tin Tin Out version of Belle And Sebastian! Wicked idea! Loads and loads of people in big handbaggy nightclubs like Cream 'avin it large to a cheesy house version of 'The Boy With The Arab Strap'. Who needs drugs if things like that happen in the real world? Sorry about the enormous length of that Felt post I did: virtually the first thing I send to the list. I hope it didn't come across like someone wanking off at great length. Apologies, anyway. Yeah Hefner are great, especially live . The lyrics on the album are fantastic, the most affecting words I've heard since If You're Feeling Sinister. And I like the fact that they sound a bit like Television. It's really exciting to go and see them at the moment - they're always playing around London - because they're a band on the up, there's always more people singing along at the next gig etc. Is there anything nicer to see than a really good band on the rise? Other than nudity etc. Does anybody know anything about this dancey versh of B&S? Let me know if you do. This must be investigated further. Unless Paul Dean's taking the piss and I'm being really dim about it. Hmm.

Sinister: You never quite learned the song.
by weejay 11 Jan '99

11 Jan '99

Hey sinisterines, you all seem to have gone quiet of late... I hope there's not some evil robot from the future tracking down and systematically killing us all from honey's membership list. Anyway, I'm here to tell you all about the thing that was on TV over here last night called 'Shooting The Past' - and I know this probably isn't the place to go on about some TV programme, but it was the best thing on since the singing detective, and that was 15 years ago. I could be exaggerating but I don't think so... Anyway, superficially it was about the closure of a photo library (B&S points there) but underneath, well... Let's just say that when it finished I swore to anyone listening (i.e. nobody but that's not the point) that I would rather die tomorrow than waste my life in the pursuit of money. And I sat down and wrote more than I've done in the last month. I really reccomend it. Except half of you can't see it. Humph. In the less real world my new guestbook fucked up big time and had to be reset, so if you wrote anything, *sorry* and please go back again. Plus today I finished putting up the first issue of my tawdry zine so if you want to see that... you'd better be a bit of a Pulp enthusiast. Some people were talking about the incredible string band... excellent stuff. Especially that song about the magic hedgehog that goes "you learnt all the words / and you followed the tune / but you never quite learned the song she sung" which is just beautiful. I think that's on the 'Thousand spirits or the layers of the onion' album with the one about the happy cloud. I like the stuff up until they gave up drugs and joined the scientologists. Apparently one of them is now the mayoress of aberystwyth. Ah, you're better asking my dad about them. Hello to all the newcomers too - especially one who hasn't announced her presence... Feel free to in your own time.... I have a stupid urge to listen to 'Fantastique No.5' by Plastic Fantastic, but I left it at HOME home which is more than just annoying. Ah well, I think I'll retire to my flat and eat a tin of strawberries. Have fun y'all. james. James(a)twopounds.u-net.com Go on, what are you frightened of? (and remember - stick it in sideways) http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/cabaret/5523/ (Which will no longer crash your computer.

Sinister: Sawaddee 1999!
by oon 11 Jan '99

11 Jan '99

Happy 1999 everyone! how time fly. especially when you're in a country with abject economic crisis. Chris is such a beautifully sweet boy, isn't he? (everyone if you see him with a Thai-looking necktie, please compliment. it's from me. even though i never see him wearing that myself, i dare say chris looks so lovely wearing it, no matter what he smells like) and you've seen photo of my mother and father! (me whisper to linda "can i see it too?") aren't they great :) my mother and my father really take good care of me, how i love them. if i ever win an oscar or something that let you thank people globally i'd proclaim my gratitute to them and weep. oh and i got to mention Genevieve too, for the precious drawing of Stuart David. manly and hairy in school uniform, ie. pleat skirt. what can i say? this is, by all means, the meaning of the word P R O V O C A T I V E itself. my whole new year holiday was spent mostly in bed succumbing to the soporific effect of my allergy medication. the doctor ordered me to stay in, keep in cool place and forbid alcohol in any form. but as new year was beckoning, blindly and boldly i staggered out to new year eve dinner. it's a lovely hotel on the riverside, with remarkably thoughtful service. in an attempt to keep us with them for the count down to new year, they struggled to serve 5/6 course meal in nearly 4 hours. needless to say, i rose to the occasion and took a few naps along the meal. hmm if only they served that in bed. that's just about all the fun and excitement for me this new year day. that and how i consume my new year champagne. drop by drop. total one spoon. can you tell i've been looking in English dictionary? especially the 'S' section. that sollip something word really bug me. Mr.Miller, look what you've done! i went and borrowed a dictionary just to look it up and it wasn't there! did you make it up? how come Mrs.Warrander know it if you made it up? i must admit i find a lot of unknown-to-me words on the list lately. (sometime it's all known-to-me words but them together become unknown sentence, and so on so on) however, the soporific effect of my medication only allows me to remember that one word. i think it's about time to find my own dictionary. if only to read your messages. you really are worth it of course. and mark was talking about impulse buying. ooh i'm in the middle of repenting that. that allergy thing got me suffered so much i dedicated last week to make it up by buying gifts for myself. and buying gifts for myself i actively did. a lot of impulse certainly involved. Archel said Glittery! oh yes, my newest purchase, it's white, it's fluffy, it's glittering! not something to be wear outside Alaska from the look of it. but it's so lovely. i blame my impulse! however, my felicity remains in this nifty trousers that looks likely to win my trousers of 1999 award. yes, even this early. i put it on and i felt in love! very flexible waist! all you can eat! huhhuhhuhhuh except i won't have much to eat this month after all the spending. doh. i like when you call people by their last name. very exotic! no one ever call me by last name. actually, no one call anyone by last name here. by their father or mother name sometimes when you want some exercise. but that's just when you're kids. i think our parrot must have been mistaken for turkey and, um, done whatever you do to turkey at thanksgiving by now. hence the disappearance. thus, i nominate our poetrypusher Trousers to stride forward and elect someone to carry on this legacy. Adam, the Vic Godard story is really funny. i like all the Wee Chris stories too. and Michele's word of wisdom... > I'm feeling very bitchy, so my suggestion is ------ (snip) there you go Sister! (fist punching the air in support) now i know where to get advice on how to take care of my enemy! Arantxa mentioned the Legendary Jim Ruiz Group, i say Go get them all Sisters and Brothers! (fist still punching the air in support) they'll make your life better. at least make you smile a lot more. i'm glad to see Keith back. he's back and my winter is back too! coincidence? i think so. to new sinister friends, i usually don't write this much (bollocks). it's just that i've been eating so much lately i need an outlet. i'll go now. goodnight, oon xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
