Hello all. As a lot of people seem to be posting for the first time today, I, too, feel the necessity to say SOMETHING. And now that I have reason to, all the better... First I should probably introduce myself. My name is Dan and I'm a college student in upstate New York. I work as a DJ for my college radio station and am an avid fan of most Britpop, particularly B&S, Radiohead, Gorky's, Roses, Smiths, James, et al... why am I posting again?...oh yeah... >>i'm a film major from temple university. ya know what that means, don't >>ya? yes, it means i was one of the poor belle and sebastian fans left >>teary eyed after the group had to canced its philadelphia show. i still >>don't think i've made a full recovery. > >ah, u too eh? well there was quite a few people there. i am a student at >messiah near harrisburg and went out to philly for the show. how >surprising that was... i am still hoping and waiting for the next chance, >as are all the others here that were with me I, too, was among the disgruntled with regard to the Philly show. although I go to school in new york, I live in mechanicsburg and got the chance to come home to go to the show. so, I feel both of your respective pains... some people were mentioning bands/singers with similar singing styles to Belle & Sebastian...I have a couple to share. Grandaddy shares some commonalities with B&S in terms of suppressed vocals....Lambchop also. another band i'd recommend for the vocals is the Innocence Mission...female vocals, very gentle, introspective....good stuff. yo la tengo's 1997 album (the one with the long title) also has some quite muted vox. well...props to all who read this! ~Dan ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: pleased to meet ya
by Tricia Arnold 28 Jan '99

hi everyone! i'm new to the sinister list here. well, i've been observing for awhile, but this is my first post. my name's tricia and i'm a film major from temple university. ya know what that means, don't ya? yes, it means i was one of the poor belle and sebastian fans left teary eyed after the group had to canced its philadelphia show. i still don't think i've made a full recovery. anyway, i'm afraid i'm sending an un-belle and sebastian related post. do forgive me. the britpop list i was on recently shut down and i'm in desperate need of a new one to keep me updated on upcoming releases. i've searched the web and haven't had much luck. could anyone perhaps suggest a general britpop list that i could subscribe to? ta! tricia ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: T-shirts do not make you popular shocker.
by DavidJ2502＠aol.com 28 Jan '99

28 Jan '99

Hello there. While we are on the subject of t-shirts, I just thought I'd put my two cents worth (about 1.3p). James wrote: > Guess what I got in the post yesterday... give up? A small blue "Study at Stow" > shirt. I cannot tell you how overjoyed I am at this wonderful news, and I'll be > showing it off to all my friends in the nex few weeks. I was once like young James here, full of youthful enthusiasm at getting my first B&S shirt through the post. I nearly did a lap of honour around the garden when I finally got my "Stow" and "Sinister" shirts a few weeks ago (I say nearly because it was damp out and keen though I was, I didn't want to catch a chill.) I decided to unveil one at my local one evening shortly afterwards. I pictured the scene: as I take off my jacket the whole building turns and a hushed silence falls over the room. Then one by one the gathered masses form an orderly cue to touch the hem of my garment and I never have to pay for another drink again- a kind of alcoholic Blue Peter Badge. Needless to say it didn't happen quite like that. The reactions ranged from apathy to confusion: "Well if you didn't go to Stow why are you wearing a t- shirt with it written on?" I have since given up trying to impress people with my t-shirts and am now experimenting with badges. The results were disappointing. As regards getting other cool shirts, why not just write to the record companies and ask them, or try the band contact addresses on the record sleeves- The Pastels do some fantastically groovy ones. Chemikal Underground's site has loads of Delgados stuff if that takes anyones fancy, or Intoxica have some fab Stereolab ones. On anm already worn out subject, I can't emphasise how important it is that Vicky does not go to see Silverchair. I am all for liking a broad spectrum of music, but I think a line has to be drawn at a Radish covers band, don't you? Sorry if you have gone to sleep, here is a joke from the archives. An old school friend told me it recently: Q. What is ET short for? A. He's only got little legs. Trust me, it was funny in 1983. I'm going now, DavidJ. PS Is buying a looper T-shirt taking indie credibility too far? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Drawing

>>because I wanted to teach children finger painting. I >>love finger painting and all the bright colours and swirly patterns you >>can make, but I have to go to a horrid school and practice teaching on >>these nasty boys and girls and I'm so shy and some of the children make >>fun of my ribbons and my hello kitty hairslides. They call it hello >>pussy, and that's so rude and horrid and sometimes I cry and the >>children laugh even more. When I was a child, I used to be the tipical guy who passed the line while painting. All of my classmates (specially girls) were better painters than me. I also was too shy, something that make me grew up with a kind of trauma about childhood in general. TamiŽs mail made me think about it. I wanted to say something about IsobelŽs songs, although it was argued days ago: I think that "Is it wicked not to care ?" is the 2nd best B&S, just inches before "Like Dylan in the movies". Clarence, if youŽre still there, I lost your adress. If anybody else wants my spanish zine about B&S, tell me so. Is the MTV going to broadcast the brit awards ? Bye.

Sinister: 1st post/GBV
by Chris Crouch 28 Jan '99

28 Jan '99

I've been recieving the digest for the required two weeks now and am going to post. I've only recently become aquainted with B&S having purchased The Boy with the Arab Strap in November and If You're Feeling Sinister the very next day. I am a freshman at Iowa State University but am originally from Rapids City, IL a tiny little town on the bank Misssissippi River. My musical interests include, among many others, XTC, Ben Folds Five, Smashing Pumpkins, Supergrass and of course, Belle & Sebastian. jan thorneus <bajsjan(a)yahoo.com> wrote: Everyone who likes great LO-FI music should buy a Guided by Voices record cus they rawk, or ask me if you can get a copy of my own recorded CD :). To which I reply: I completely agree with you. GBV is one of the best lo-fi bands there is (and, they're lablemates with B&S (at least here in the US)). I'd also reccommend Sebadoh (especially Bakesale) for anyone who's interested in lo-fi (and haven't heard of them yet). The frontman for Sebadoh, Lou Barlow, is also the frontman for Folk Implosion (I'm the one, natural one, take it easy...) which is another group I'd reccomend. That's enough for now. chris ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Where'd they learn to kiss like that?
by R.North 28 Jan '99

28 Jan '99

Well, I've been a good boy and can't really find anything newsworthy to reply to on the list, but I just had to write a message anyway. But then I thought, the very fact that I'm back is news. Which it is. Big news. Huge news. Front page of the next Jeepster mailout news. Anyone here reached that sad state of obsession, where you've gone out and bought the Field Mice CD just because they've influenced Belle and Sebastian? Oh and Kevan the tree slug rules (love the picture) Anyone like Rootjoose as well? I think they're pretty huge in the South West anyway. anyway bye Northy +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Hi!
by Tami Popsicle 28 Jan '99

28 Jan '99

Dear List-Lollipops, Ive been on the list for a while now, listening to your lovely thoughts and I've only just plucked up the courage to write. Some of you are so clever and funny and I'm a little mouse. Let me introduce myself, my name is Tami, and I'm a student, I'm learning to be a teacher but it's so disappointing, because I wanted to teach children finger painting. I love finger painting and all the bright colours and swirly patterns you can make, but I have to go to a horrid school and practice teaching on these nasty boys and girls and I'm so shy and some of the children make fun of my ribbons and my hello kitty hairslides. They call it hello pussy, and that's so rude and horrid and sometimes I cry and the children laugh even more. Anyway, I love Belle and Sebastian lots and lots and my favouritest, bestest song of all is "Fox in the snow". Foxes are my favourite animal, they're so cuddly and cute, and I love the snow and making little snow boys and girls with big happy smiles. My best friend is my teddy I called him Sebastian. Anyway, I'm writing because I've got a list crush. That lovely, lovely Stan. I want him to be my special platonic friend. I had a boyfriend once, I thought he was special becos he had an Another Sunny Day t-shirt and I wanted him to make me tapes becos he knew so much about music and he said he'd got all the Sarah records and had a stripy t-shirt and a bowl haircut but he liked Manda Rin more and wasn't interested in me, and I was too shy to tell him so I used to write him poems. I knowStan won't be interested in me, cos he's sounds so dreamy but I hope we can be penpals. Some of the boys on the list are a bit frightning I hate the way that if a boy sleeps with lots of girls he gets called a stud and if a girl does it she's a slut, it's so UNFAIR. Ooooh, I'm getting cross now. But I know Stan isn't like that, he's like stewart murdoch who has the loveliest voice and I just know he's a really nice person and I think we could be really good friends because I know he wouldlike me as a person and not look at my chest all the time and make me nervous. I'd like to be friends with Isobel too, I could go to her house and I bet she's got loads of nice flowery dresses. I went on the chat thingie once and you'll never guess who was there STUART DAVID!!!!!!! He was a bit horrid though, he asked me about my pants, then he called me an indie c..., well it's a horrid word and I don't want to write itand I ran away though I got a sort of tickly feeling in my tummy when he said it. I think it was someone pretending to be him cos Stuart David could never say such horrible things. I went back the next day and he wasn't there. Oh I'm sorry this is really long and you probably didn't read it anyway, but I really like you all and I hope someoen will write to me, especially Stan. Love and lemonade, Tami xxxxxxxxxx ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: you can find me out in the sandbox
by jessica 28 Jan '99

28 Jan '99

hihi list, this message is longwinded and selfcentered, and although i talk about glitter and underwear you may want to skip it. there is stuart murdoch content at the end. i've just visited the lovely lesleyjo's page and had a look at the b+s photos, and while salivating over stuart murdoch (yum, in a skinny teeshirt!) i couldn't help but notice isobel's sweet little hat. does anyone know where i might get such a hat, all furry and with ears? if i get one i will mail a photo of me in it to whoever tipped me off. which is really quite a wunnerful prize, and if you squint i've been told that i could perhaps pass for miss kristen. so it's like getting two prizes, really. and we've been told that we look like either tanya donnelly or chloe sevigny, so it's four prizes in one! and to alyssa marie, if you like i can send you a photo of me in hello kitty underwear you have so graciously offered up. i seem to have done something odd with your message, like lost it, so if you'd be so kind as to write me again i can arrange to pay you for hello kitty underwear - my friend helen would also like some. it's disheartening that Wumpkinny has been trademarked. i suppose it's all for the best, really, as i never knew what it meant and was using it liberally anyways. it will prevent mishaps caused by improper use, such as when michelle threw an uncapped pen at me. the carpenters have been mentioned in passing, and so i've been listening to them. i heard on the radio the other day that "we've only just begun" is no longer the most requested wedding song, it's either that celine dion titanic song or the new shania twain. poo, if i ever get married i'm going to have a lawrence welk wedding with not only the carpenters, but also bubble machines, champagne and plenty of baby blue. and of course, belle and sebastian. i'm disappointed with the roddcam. i was hoping to catch a bit of nudity, but so far all i've seen is empty room and messy bed. come on rodd, show us your, erm, rod! this is on behalf of the whole list, now. i'm not in any way affiliated with this smut. and for heaven's sakes, do it after 9pm so children won't see. whoooo! new belle and sebastian coming out soon! even though it's going to feel like an eternity...but i'll fill the time listening to barry white. "you're the first, the last, my everything". smoooove. maybe keef's band could do some barry white? "bababah bumbum i can't get enough of your love, babe". mmm, i almost forgot to say how nice it is to be able to put photos of fluffy sarah and lesleyjo alongside their words in my head, since i saw them on lesleyjo's website. fluffy sarah: i also envy teletubby po, if only because her bum wiggles in that way when she runs, or rather wobbles away. i'm sure if i had a blue glittery belly people would buy me a scooter and stop me in the street to squeeze me. yes? yes? of course you would, then i would crochet you your very own scarf with sequins on the ends. weeeeej: you've inspired me to make my very own strumpet badge. what an excellent word, like crumpet or trumpet. the badge will be pink and glittery. ohohoh, today's underwear: none. just pyjamas. and i was going to write about my glasses but i'll be getting a new pair in a little while and then i'll have to update you on those. time to sleep. my lion, roarrr, wishes you all nice dreams full of stuart murdoch's belly. it's just as well they didn't play in toronto or i would have thrown my panties. kisskiss, 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".
