Sinister: Papa t'es plus dans l'coup
by Graham MacArthur 16 Oct '99

16 Oct '99

Listerines, Some NEWS for London hefner fans (unless you're the jumping up and down jeering beer-boy types - yes, I mean *you*! that was ME scowling at you from the mosh on Wednesday at dingwalls, you swines)....Monday. Borders bookshop (Oxford street) 6.30 pm. Myself and miss Hannah, hand in hand. You could ask for nothing more. And talking of the most glamourous couple this side of Sunderland, there is a picture of the prettydoll herself, miss Hannah, *myself* IN FOCUS (for my critic's delight), and our partner in crime, ms Honeydoll on the 'trying to pull' pics page. They were taken on my birthday, which is why my eyeliner is a bit smuged. Tequila and kohl isn't the best combination. I bought a record today called 'Teenage party' which is all sung in french. There is a code to which kind of dancing you should do with each song - for "Quand Un air Vous Possede" you should do the Mashed Potatoe. For "T'as qu'seize ans" you should do the twist. I'd like it if someone would tell me how to dance to each song at the next tigermilking - I can just see Mark MC-ing: "NOW! shuffle nervously with your hands behind your back!" Right, now if you'll excuse me I have to go and pretend I have something better to do.

Sinister: I'm 15 all over again
by spencer lloyd 16 Oct '99

16 Oct '99

marie elia asked: >dear lord! did this really happen??? Yes it did. Very rarely does anything of interest happen in my life so i think that it is essential that I share it with the world when something does. Now adding to the Degrassi thread, with a question to all the Canadian listees: was there ever a soundtrack to the show, or to the Degrassi movie "School's Out"? I seem to remember one song being use during the movie called 'House of Glass' which particularly touched me. It was played during the scene where Caitlin is breaking up with Joey, and when those too tarty gurls are drowning and being rescued by Snake. Ooh I can almost hear that haunting melody right now, how did it go? "Come touch me, in a house of glass, I'm falling." or something like that! And on a related note i seem to recall a band right here in Perth using that whole Caitlin/Joey breakup scene on one of their songs.It starts with sweet innocent Caitlin saying the immortal words "Tessa Campanelli, you fucked Tessa Campanelli." And then has Caitlin crying and Joey squirming and saying "I'm sorry. I'm sorry" at the end. Oh boy I'm almost crying just thinking about that scene! And speaking of TV shows my fellow Australian Kin Woo espoused the virtues of Buffy. I just wanted to say thankyou for confirming that I am not a hopeless teeny-bopper wannabe by simply adoring this show and waiting impatiently for every Tuesday night to come around. blessed be all spencer lloyd ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ stillness is a lie, my dear +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: thanks for the advice, tho i didn't use any of it
by kerry 16 Oct '99

16 Oct '99

well, it's 4am and i've returned home from 6 hours at the wonderful seth's house. to the person who gave me advice on how to ask him if he was seeing anybody, i didn't use it because i didn't need to. a friend informed me earlier today that he is indeed very single. anyway, let's start with some B&S content: "i don't love anyone" is a great song and all, but i think it may be back to "my wandering days are over," for me. so tonight i went to seth's house to see if i could get my groove on. okay, not exactly. but i did have the intention of letting my feelings be known, or doing something about them, or both. so i show up at 10pm, figuring it's late enough for me to say i was bored and ask if they minded if i joined them in front of the television, as i have none. serendiptously there's a seat next to seth. so i take it. for the first, say, hour i'm there he's acting a little cold. in fact, it kind of felt like i was next to a large block of ice. i think he thought i'd blown him off since i hadn't gone to visit at all this past week (d'oh). anyway, after a little flirting he warmed up some more, and we spent a good 5 hours on the sofa enmeshed in one another, and kissed a little for the last hour. not much, as an ex boyfriend of mine was in the room, and that's just a little awkward. he wasn't facing us or anything, but still. oh, and there's a webcam in the living room. so it's a little strange to know that not only were my 5 hours of cuddling with this boy broadcast all over the planet, but that people i know may have been watching. especially since my housemates said they would check me out while i was over there. but i think it's kind of neat that my first kisses with this boy were sent out all over the globe. an evil mean part of me hopes his ex girlfriend decided to take a look at the webcam tonight. but that's not a very strong part. mostly i'm just happy. i was sad to go, but i have to be up at 9am (i wasn't planning on staying later than 1am, honest) to make a champagne breakfast for a housemate who's having her birthday tomorrow, then it's off to a seminar for prospective students to talk about my thesis. and here i am writing emails to strangers. and if teri's reading this, i'll tell you all about it tomorrow, i swear. although i may be asleep when you call. i plan on napping heavily when i get back from the seminar. i was going to go to new hampshire to buy cigarettes, but that'll have to wait until sunday, i guess. thank you for listening, and listening to my progression from jon, to losing jon, to getting over jon, to falling for seth. i'm happy. -kerry "two pathways diverged in a cell and i i took the cataboic path less travelled by and that has made all the ATP" -amy norton +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Attention: Felt heads
by Mark Niciu 16 Oct '99

16 Oct '99

Hey blokes and birds, A friend of mine introduced me to the splendor and the mystery of Felt earlier this year, and I am as attracted to and enamored by Lawrence and company as I am by Murdoch and crew. Does anyone out in Belle and Sebastian land own any live recordings of Felt? Lawrence's admiration of Television and Tom Verlaine is well known, and, given Richard Lloyd's tendency to "jam" in concert, I assume Maurice Deebank often did the same. Anyway, songs like "Birdmen" and "The Stagnant Pool" have long guitar solos built-in. It would be an absolute delight if anyone had such recordings to share because Deebank's virtuosity on the guitar is unmatched (among 1980s guitarists, only Johnny Marr and Will Sergeant of Echo and the Bunnymen are in the same league as Mo).

Sinister: more introductions and all that nonsense
by adele h 16 Oct '99

16 Oct '99

heya everyone, yay! i'm finally let out of my crib in the nursery, so please be gentle with me -- i promise not to nick anyone's toys or be narky etc. etc. anyhow, this means that it's time for a wee introduction -- my name's melissa and i'm in paris doing my studies in cinematography. but see, i'm getting a tad too lonely for my own good because i don't actually know many people here, well, not many with similar interests, so if you're in the vicinity, could you give us a holler, pretty please? it's getting boring drinking tea alone, and the increasingly nippy weather isn't helping at all. (so, to zoe from greece: i can empathise...) i'm turning twenty-three in a month, should i be stoked about that? sorry for sounding a little whingey, but i'm still trying to get over the fact that england's drawn against scotland for the play-offs -- here's my quandary: technically, i ought to be rooting for the three lions, but in all honesty, the team's rather shitey, innit? we had to bloody rely on the good grace of the swedes. and i've been secretly wishing for the scottish team to win so as to teach england a lesson, but if my mates get to hear of this, i'll never be forgiven. toughie. oops. am i ranting a tad too much about footie? i don't have any b&s-related swear words at the moment, but it wouldn't take too long to come up with a list, but i promise not to rattle them off in public... anyhow, enough of my yammering, i suppose. cheers, -melissa- p.s. and to brandt: hope your mum's feeling better, and you're not being self-centred to talk about your problems -- it releases pent-up emotions, so by all means, talk your frustrations and confusion out, okay? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Earshot!:)
by Kin WOO 16 Oct '99

16 Oct '99

Hey dear friends, long time no write!:) Just saw "Earshot", that mythically almost-banned episode of the BEST programme on telly that is "Buffy" (I live in Australia btw) and am simply stunned at the awesomeness of it. "Earshot" of course was banned because it deals with the Buffster developing telepathic powers and 'overhearing' that someone is planning to massacre everyone in the school. Unfortunately she starts going mad due to her powers and it's up to the scooby gang to solve the mystery. I guess I can understand why this episode was postponed. Its similarities to the Columbine thing are eerily prescient (it was filmed BEFORE that whole tragedy) with characters saying lines like, "Who hasn't idly thought of taking out the whole school with a semi-automatic?" But "Buffy" deals with such a controversial topic in such an intelligent and moving,and most of all responsible way, it truly transcends any controversy associated with such a topic. The geek who has been ignored the whole time, who at first looks like he's trying to take out the whole school, is only trying to kill himself. The real murderer is the **** (don't wanna spoil it for people who haven't seen it, but it's a witty take on a common high school fear). Buffy's speech to Jonathan is so beautiful and so poignant and so PURE, it is a moment of dramatic intensity unmatched by most other tv shows (although common to "Buffy" of course). Absolutely amazing. When Buffy starts hearing all the voices, we are let into a wonderful slice of high schoolers' thoughts ranging from "i hate my body" to "she doesn't even notice me".Again, painfully poignant. No other series has so accurately depicted the loneliness and confusion of high school. It lets us relive those painful years through these characters. I also love how Buffy first of all uses her power for humourous gain, but then it descends into a nightmarish realm where she can't stop hearing the din of voices.Another aspect of the greatness of "Buffy" is how it can mix such powerful intense drama with effortless wit and humour. That and of course flawless acting from the ensemble especially Sarah Michelle Gellar, who if ignored for an Emmy nomination AGAIN next year, just confirms how stupid and blind the Emmy voting committee is. For me watching "Earshot" was a lot like hearing "Tigermilk" for the first time. I'd been anticipating both for a very long time and when I finally experienced them, my high expectations were exceeded. WHEW! got that off my chest. Anyone who has seen this classic episode, feel free to comment, would love to hear some views. Till next time, luvvies Kin Woo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: High Fidelity/Stuart Murdoch
by Patrick Scragg 16 Oct '99

16 Oct '99

I've been away from the Sinister list for a quite a while (about 3 weeks). Good lord - What a HUGE back log of posts to read! I was away visiting some with some friends who informed me of some fantastic news (that is, if it's true) - Nick Horby's excellent first novel, 'High Fidelity,' is being made into a movie - even better, the soundtrack is to include contributions from Belle and Sebastian! Too good to be true? You tell me! As I've said, I've been out of the Sinister loop for a while, so allow me to apologize in advance if this information is way old! Those of you fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to see B&S live, your opinion is needed here as well. A B&S fan who saw the band in Athens, GA a year ago said that she was quite surprised to see the band in the flesh; she described Isobel and Sarah as very short and hefty (though sweet) - not at all like the waifish model-types she had envisioned; Stuart D. was tall and lurpy, somewhat handsome, while Mick, Stevie and the other guys were pretty vanilla-looking. She was most captivated by Stuart M - who was a complete contradiction to the notion of being "twee" - she described as him as tall and surprisingly "buff" - like he could kick some serious idie-ass if provoked - and not too handsome. W H A T? At the time she told me this (by the way, she's a fashion major or something) all I could picture of the band was pro-basketball player Gheorghe Muresan on guitar, Carnie Wilson and Mama Cass singing/playing at the sides, and out in front of the band - Rambo or Henry Rollins with a acoustic guitar... "Yo - we're Belle and uhhhh." I was fascinated by her take on the band's appearance, and have since disproved (for the most part) her bizarre version (thanks to the few B&S pictures on the web and in the music press)! Those of you who have seen B&S - is their some validity to her story? Just curious! Please share your first impressions! Have a great weekend! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Nice noise
by Catspaw1＠aol.com 16 Oct '99

16 Oct '99

someone mentioned other bands we liked. I suggest that the curious check out Stephen Duffy's The Lilac Time and the new CD Looking for a Day in the Night... The recommendation I followed made comparisons to both B&S and Nick Drake... I can see that, I suppose... I also like the following description: "the prettiest bitter pill you're likely to swallow for some time..."
