Sinister: nalda again
by Alexandre Tobin 11 Oct '99

11 Oct '99

Hi all, Two quick things from the extremely informal 'Stuart David Information Service' (actually nothing to do with him at all...): 1. There have been a few shiftings-around of Looper dates in support of 'Nalda Said' next week... The updates are at http:www.postmodern.co.uk. 2. Also, only four days left to enter the competition for your free copy. The same URL applies, and I've received about twenty answers so far. Some are extremely cheeky, you bastards (Like I expected anything else.)! I just received the books in the mail, and they look very cool, so give it a shot. Take care, and cheers, Alex -++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- -+++ alex tobin -+++ postbus 81-353 -+++ 3508 bh utrecht -+++ the netherlands -+++ -+++ phone +31.6.29208560 -+++ e-mail alex(a)pulped.co.uk -+++ website http://www.pulped.co.uk -+++ website http://www.postmodern.co.uk -+++ website http://www.popjourno.com -++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Message to Pretty
by Peter Miller 11 Oct '99

11 Oct '99

Christopher, when I got my photo taken with motorcycle ace Barry Sheene, I didn't say anything, my mate's mum did all the talking. If I remember correctly, Christopher, you always go and see Robin Williamson with your mum and dad, so if I were you, I'd get your mum to do the talking. But I'd try that "tousle tousle tousle" business first. I heard the Jarvis Cocker Looper remix. It's right up there with the Gentle Waves. More interestingly, I heard "The Indie Pop List" by Momus, which is quite funny. I strained my ears to hear mentions of you lot, but the only one I caught was The 13 o' Clock, which rings a bell from somewhere in the distant past. It is an insanely catchy song. I got the Norma Waterson album too. It's very sad, makes you cry for Freddie Mercury. The droning sound on "River Man" turns out to be a hurdy gurdy. It's the Sister Disco Purchase of the Week. Thailand news: The man-woman boxer was on telly for at least fifteen minutes. His/Her opponent kissed him /her before the bouting commenced, so he/she got really angry and hammered the fucker. I quite fancy him/her, and I bet I'm not the only one. Pop star authors: I think the problem is this - the general public perceives pop stars as silly billies and writers as clever dicks, so if one tries to do the other's job, they become a silly dick or a clever billy, and it's like a face with a wonky nose. Sister Disco PS: Nice poem, George. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: drrrrrrrrrrrrrunk possssssssssssst
by kerry 11 Oct '99

11 Oct '99

so i know it's tacky and all, but i'm drunk and since it's rare that i'm this drunk i thought i'd post. man, i'm hitting that delete key a lot. anyway, i'll start it out with some B&S content: i think i really want them to come back to the US simply so i can talk to chris geddes again and maybe have sex with him. that would be really nice. anyway, so a friend of mine who's on leave this semester at the NIH is in town for the long weekend and i went to the place where she's staying (the house she lived in on campus for the past couple years) and got drunk with her and her friends. anyway, she lives with this boy that i've been friends with since my first year here (it's now my fourth) and last year me and him got a little drunk (well, he got really drunk) and ended up having this strange conversation because i said i wanted to boff one of his friends and he was like "go for it. you're totally hot. i've considered having sex with you a few times." but he said the only thing that was stopping his pursuing me was that he had a girlfriend. anyway, i'm not so sure he has that girlfriend anymore. so i'm sitting on their back porch talking to him for like an hour and a half and i casually mention that jon and i broke up, because i wanted him to know that. anyway, the few people that were there end up leaving and it's just me, him, and my friend. so we talk for a bit, then my friend says she needs to go to bed soon and i swear it took like every ounce of willpower i have to resist staying longer to get even drunker with this kid because i knew i'd end up fooling around with him or something, and no matter how tempting that is i know i'd totally regret it because i have this massive aversion to sexual acts under the influence of just about any kind of drug, including alcohol. wow. my arms are really warm right now. must be my muscles converting the alcohol into sugar and my capillaries moving closer to the surface of my skin because alcohol does that. anyway, they're having another party tomorrow night and i think i may ask my friend if that boy is still dating that girl (i've seen him a few times this semester and no sign of the girl). but, wait! the friend that i told the boy i wanted to have sex with: i thought he might be on leave this semester but then he showed up really briefly tonight and i didn't get a chance to talk to him because we're not particularly close or anything. but i posed all cute and stuff and maybe he noticed me. maybe not. although i'm pretty sure every girl on campus has wanted to have sex with that kid, and i think most of them have (eew). but the other kid (oh fuck it, his name's seth); i don't think he remembers telling me that he wanted to have sex with me, so i don't really know how to proceed from here. he's cute and stuff but i've known him for so long . . . and i'm so desperate right now. oh well, enough of that. i'm not even sure if i'm going to send this because it's really no more than a drunken ramble and probably doesn't make any sense at all, anyway. i think i need to go to bed. this reminds me of that spring break i spent in germany. except i didn't have email then (thank god). enough of that. goodnight people. i hope honey doesn't kill me, and hope you don't think less of me. i think i'll go on irc for a while, that's always fun. -kerry "maybe if you find the time you'll make out with me, desperate me." -halo benders, "will work for food" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Number 5! You're alive!!!
by Jason Andreas 10 Oct '99

10 Oct '99

Hello my twee companions... LOOPER I'm trying to find out what the hell is going on with the Argyll St Virgin Megastore gig. Do I need a ticket or not? Different staff have told me different things and I'm now totally confused... Anyone shed some light? A LOST LISTEE Well, I've met Heather McDonald, the American listee who is now living in Glasgow for a year. She's really a nice gal, if a little overwhelmed by the city and the price of everything over here. We saw a cassette of The Smiths for £15. Rip off or what? ERRRMMM... I spent this week searching for a weekend job in Glasgow. No success. I now have only £40 to last me until my next student loan installment in January. If any Glasgow listees know where I could find employment, could you help me out? SKITTLES Taste the rainbow. Isn't the wee mannie on top of the big rock insane? POETRY PARROT EATEN BY POETRY PTERODACTLY!!! I've watched as the poetry has spouted forth from the list, and have decided to add my own to the mixture. Shouts of 'Rubbish!' should be sent to jasonandreas(a)breathemail.net ----------------- A Melancholy Love Song I see we all walk through the night with a heavy burdened soul, And the path of love runs smoothly, for no-one on this Earth, When you see your true love smile those clouds just drift away, Because, deep down, we're all the same, We don't want to be alone. I suppose that it's just a part of mankind's spirit and our makeup, That we spend a great deal of time just looking for the one, That special person to fill our lives and hold us close at night, And do we deserve that love we wish? Or are we on our own? I wonder why these melancholy love songs shine so bright, Like those beautiful rainbows in a new-found lover's eyes, The bard is playing his soft and beautiful tunes upon your soul, For we all know we must find love, We feel it in our bones. When you look upon the dawn, all red and gold and green, You can see in the colours bright a love that you must seek, One day you'll find that person with those colours in their soul, Then you'll know you've found the one, The arrow to your bow. So look around my thoughtful friend, and think on what you see, Examine all those people whom you've never seen before, Look again at everyday friends, the ones you've known for years, Look close enough, they might be there, You just never know..... ---------------- STEREOLABORATORY Is anyone going to see Stereolab at the Garage in Glasgow this month? THE LUNATIC IS ON THE GRASS I *finally* got around to buying Dark Side Of The Moon today, after hearing endless stories of how great Pink Floyd were, I decided to give them a try. I must say that I love it. Very nice and I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't heard it. p.s. anyone know how I can access track 10? ALL TOMORROW'S PINCERS Is ATP going to go ahead at a later date or not? Could someone mail me with the proper info, as I can't seem to find any mention of it anywhere..... MONTY PYTHON NIGHT Did anyone see the South Park version of the Dead Parrot sketch? Unbelievably funny. LOVE It's just not going to happen for me, is it? DID YOU READ THIS FAR DOWN??? You fool. Well done anyway. Thanks. -- Jason Andreas -- Hailing from Glasgow, city of half a million souls and one million people ICQ: 45821217 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: being around
by Blissxo＠aol.com 10 Oct '99

10 Oct '99

lovely listmonkeys, it's been awhile, and i've been keeping up on your exciting goings-on as i've been learning about how to manipulate your minds using nothing more than simple words, pictures, and sounds. advertising, it's called, and it's the love of my life. i'm trying to minimise the role of boys in my world, you see. although i am officially known as 'boy crazy' among friends. perhaps even among enemies. tigermilk has finally grown on me to the level of twattybus and iyfs, and is threatening to surpass them as my Ultimate Belle and Sebastian Album, the album i reach for when i'm feeling all reflective and bouncy. those moods occur more often than you'd think. i've missed numerous toronto concerts lately, and i'm feeling bad about it because hey, i'm a music geek and that's got to be maintained. but what i have done, however, is visited the totally redone whiskey a go go. yes folks, that was me on friday on stage with no top on and jenteal playing with my nipples. i'll be back this next friday if any of you would like to join my fanclub. it's the cool thing to do, even though i didn't spot any boys with arab straps. and, as always, there's my webpage, http://www.geocities.com/jessicaxo (don't you love shortcuts?), detailing the mundanities of my life. so go crazy. oh, and for those of you that visit the girls on film website, there are reviews of tigermilk going on. alongside reviews of that new marky-mark/george clooney film, but hey, you know. and i'll subtly remind you of the listcrush site and my teeny number of votes (last check: one). so if you're stuck on who you should be voting for, i'm indiscriminate. mwahmwah to all of you, jessicaxo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Actual B&S content
by Craig 10 Oct '99

10 Oct '99

OK I'll admit it's not "actual" as in band gossip or anything exciting like that, but it still makes a nice change from the usual random thoughts I insist on inflicting upon you all. Firstly in order for this to all make sense I'll have to make a wee confession. I have purchased this weeks NME. I can't fully explain it as it's all a bit of a blur.... I can vaguely remember being in Sainsbury's and the next thing I knew I was back home with a weeks supply of groceries, and a brand spanking new copy of the NME. I figured I might as well read it. Lo & behold I came upon an article concerning "100 Ways That Rock Shook Up The World". 01. Kurt Cobain's death - yawn 02. Dylan going electric 03. Belle & Sebastian winning a Brit award - accompanied by a lovely piccy of Mick & Richard looking rather bemused by it all. 04. Neil Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd's Infamous spat 05. Lennon claiming the Beatles are bigger than Jesus and so on ..... Still nice to see that the monumentous Brit's win was such an earth shattering event, no doubt it had the 'Hot Line' between Downing St. and the Whitehouse running red hot all night. Here's what the NME had to say about it. "A fabulous bit of barricade-charging here, as Stuart Murdoch's reclusive gang stormed the world of Dave Stuart and Jonathan King. As surprise nomination for 1998's Best Newcomer Brit Award, Belle & Sebastian were up against Steps and Another Level - particularly tough competition given the result was decided by a Radio 1 listeners poll. Yet not only did they win gloriously, sending - in quiet mockery - drummer Richard Colburn and trumpeter Mick Cook to collect their award, they also outraged pop pope Pete Waterman, who claimed vote-rigging by e-mail. Untrue: Belle & Sebastian fans were merely techno-literate, and the forces of Scottish indie and computer science prevailed. A result in every way." Ohhhh does that mean the NME likes us now ?. Anyway that's enough for now, I'll let you get on with your lives until my next thrilling post. Don't let Jack Frost bite !!! (unless he's paying £175 an hour for the privilege, and even then there's no tongues allowed) Craig xoxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: books are filled with words
by keith mclachlan 09 Oct '99

09 Oct '99

someone brought up books again and i thought i'd just chime in cause someone recently gave me luke sutherland's book 'jelly roll', now luke is a musical genius and this may very well be a fine book(it was nominated for a whitbred(sp?) award apparently) but i can't seem to get into scottish dialect on the page. my girlfriend suggested i read it aloud and then i might find it less aggravating, i dunno it just seems to be a complement to the american south dialect which also seems to make me quite weary. luke's second book is out in the new year, not sure if i want that one:). on another note anthony from Jack has a book out soon as well, i am willing to bet that it will involve drinking. keith the new moose ep is in fact sparkling:) how have they slid beneath the radar of popular consciousness for so long? i remember reading reviews of their live performances back when 'xyz' came out and the general theme seemed to be that they turned those beautiful songs into droning dirges onstage, has anyone actually seen them live? i think if all the members of b&s write songs for b&s records then stuart m should write looper and gentle waves songs:) does owen post this nonsense about his abundance of admirers for pity? ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
