Sinister: We could go to the cinema, where everything would be so tall
by Pamela Hutchinson 19 Nov '99

Hello I am very overdue in being a gushy little sinister sycophant and assuring you all that LIzzie Daplyn does indeedy doo have lungs of silk and sang like a pretty little tweety bird in Carmina Burana. Two of my housemates were also there, singing deeper and playing big big drums, cos that's what boys do, isn't it? Aaaah! Cept I was so glam I failed to wear strong enough conact lenses to actually pick her out of the crowd. But I'm she was the best. I have to abuse the list further by asking general advice from all my sophisticated arty sinister chums: I am resurrecting my college film society - anybody done this before and have lots of dead good advice for me? Is it worth £40 to join the BFFS? Don't want film suggestions - I have too many and nowhere near enough money! Belle and Sebastian like films and singing - so there's my content!! I'm off to absorb the mysteries of the morality play... lots of cold redwinternosed hugs and glove clapping and love pamela xx and william hayes - can I see you at tigermilking with jane? She's in London. -- * glampam - she does it naturally * +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Convince me
by Brandt Fundak 19 Nov '99

19 Nov '99

So I got a bunch of records in the mail this past week because I bought my friend a record player for chanukah/xmas and I wanted to get her some records to go with it. I bought her the boy with the arab strap an wavelength by poundsign to go with and got myself some records to go with it. The autocollants cd is good and I like the new Holiday Flyer album as well, although the LP makes me sad, because it reminds me that my copy of the holiday flyer 7" snowballing skips on the b-side during my favorite track. I'm desperately seeking a new copy. Anyway, I also sold my car this week, and even though I am using most of the cash to deflect the cost on a new car and to help pay for all of the xmas gifts I bought, but I also figured out where this really cool record store in cleveland was located. So then it got me to thinking--I'm leary about some bands. perhaps the Sinister list can help. For instance, why should I buy the Gentle Waves? Of all of the B & S related bands, I am the most leary about Gentle Waves. I see the CD often, and yet something always keeps me from picking it up. Convince me otherwise. And what is the deal with Felt? Should I buy a felt album? What other bands should I look into? I am seriously trying to fill a void here, so I need the help. Boy, I need help with focus.

Sinister: i know someone who's afraid of y2k...
by vlass＠interlog.com 19 Nov '99

19 Nov '99

...even though he refuses to say it outright, my father is terrified of what might happen on december 31st, 1999. how else to explain the dozens and dozens of canned goods he's been amassing? not to mention jumbo bags of flour and sugar because we all know that when the electricity goes off and the world goes haywire, sugar will be our new currency. he's trying to buy a camping stove now, but apparently all the cheaper ones are sold out and he's not willing to spend hundreds on a fancier brand, so maybe some logic is kicking in. i don't mind as long as there's no gun in the house. ha. anyway, other than the looper concert in the summer, i heard that absolutely wonderful song yesterday at laura's "songs for children" in toronto. i would like to publically thank laura for organizing such a great night. really, i think that was the most positive club-y experience i've had in toronto in months. the music was the best - i think i could get used to hearing belle and sebastian being blasted over loudspeakers in smoky rooms... all the magnetic fields/6ths songs... swooon - and the company was excellent. i'm sorry i had to leave abruptly to catch the subway.. it was a nice, peaceful walk to the station though. and i am skipping class today. ooohahh. teri xx you don't remember paris, hon, but it remembers you: http://weatherpattern.tripod.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Twees and busses and comrades
by stephen hewitt 19 Nov '99

19 Nov '99

Firstly, a quick message to Mr Ferneyhough: I want to be on the tape twee but every time I try and mail you it comes beck "message undeliverable". I don't know if anyone else is having the same probs, but I don't know how else to contact you. Sorry about that :) Right, on to other stuff I was on a bus last night (hurray, another bus story). It wasn't the bus I usually get, and it took a very "scenic" route (ie twice as long as usual) from Cheltenham to Gloucester. It was also a double decker (my favourite). So I was sat on the top deck listening to tigermilk on my walkman and it sounded even better than usual, especially as the other people on the bus seemed to suit the songs perfectly, as did the suburban parts of town we were travelling through. It also made me think about you lot and all the other bus stories we've had recently. Anyway, the reason for me making this journey was to attend a rather boring union meeting. After the meeting, the only other person under 30 came up to me and said "ooh Belle and Sebastian" (I had a badge on, as always). So it turns out he used to be on the list "back in the day" and he's a really nice guy and he's a librarian (as i know so many of you are :)). As we were the only "youngsters" there, we are now the Youth officers for the branch and will have to think up lots of exciting things to get "the kids" (ie anyone under 30) involved in UNISON. I'm sure comrade Struan would approve. Maybe we could get him to come and play a benefit for us <steve drifts off into dream world>. <snaps back to reality>So all in all a very B&S kinda night. Gui mentioned my NME quote of the day. "All the B&S fans I've met have been hard drinking, chain-smoking all day and all nighters" What can I say. I was defending us against a scurrilous attack of being twee and foppish and wet. "Already excited about watching the telly tomorrow night" CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the 70s WHO on tv
by andrew dean 19 Nov '99

19 Nov '99

last night i finally got around to watching the programme about the 70s WHO that i'd taped from bbc2 earlier in the week. it was great, took me right back to when i was young. the music! the visuals! the old fashioned, er, fashions! everything. and apparently there's a whole series of them showing early evenings on bbc2, i suggest you all tune in. the first four episodes are called 'Spearhead from Space' for some reason, i guess that would be like the 4 sides of a double 'concept' album. or something. i like the bloke they've chosen to play the lead as well (he was also very good in 'wurzel gummidge'). oh, my sticks and straw! andy (and yes, i know 'spearhead from space' was originally broadcast in 1969) oh, moving house again soon, didn't have a lot of choice in the matter but there you go. it's only 1.18 miles (according to shell's geostar web thing) but i'm going to need the help of some big burly men to help me load and unload the van so if hopkins is reading this can i ask him to see if trousers is available that saturday? 8) (saturday the 4th is the plan, the new place is situated perfectly so that we can all pop down to the free Trembling Blue Stars gig that afternoon) (someone to drive the van would be nice too) (and, actually, if anyone HAS a van that i could borrow then that would be useful as well) (thanks) but in the meantime, i'm off to los angeles tomorrow... ===== andrew dean (koogydelbbog(a)yahoo.com) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: A cup of wee she would admit to me

Hmm. What about the Ace of Spades, by Motorhead? then it wouldn't matter if your lads aren't 100pc spot on, and you might stand a chance of coming first, for originality....mind you, you win some, you lose some....it's all the same to me. I did one of these house music competitions last year. Everyone else did rompy tompy tomp on the piano and tootie toot on the bugle, and it was all very nice til me and ben got up and forgot the chords to Judy and the Dream of horses. It was much slower than I thought it would be, and after struggling through about a dozen "hor-or-or-or-or-or-orses" we just said fuck it and went home with red cheeks and a battered guitar. So my advice is stuff the competition, and go to bed instead, and lie there imagining you're struan in his p!o!p! trews and everyone fancies you. By the way, I was walking down Lavender Hill the other day, and in a charity shop window, barely a highland fling from Jeepster's offices, was......... CHRIS GEDDES JACKET!!!!!!! This is, lest we forget, the jacket that reminded Seymour Stein of Johnny Marr, the jacket that stole the show when it appeared on that BBC Documentary, a piece of history, steeped in the juices of Chris! And all for the bargainiferous price of £18.60! Presumably, the Bellesters need all the cash they can get, what with recording their 24 disc epic Xtra Long Player, so they're flogging stuff to pay for more studio time. I'll keep an eye out for the others' contributions, and keep you informed. In the meantime Chris fans, get down there and buy it! I would have, but then I realized that I didn't want to look like a twat wearing a travel blanket. And it looked like it smelled of wee.

Sinister: Come, dancing
by Mark Casarotto 19 Nov '99

19 Nov '99

Dear Sinister, Elle Zober reminded us: "but i am friends with Bel" That's nice for you - thanks for sharing it with us (again) :-) She then emoted: "why do people feel the need to discuss the Belle's in personal terms anyway? does anyone on this list actaully know Isobel, or Stuart or Mick?" But don't you think you are the one discussing them in personal terms? I find the fact that you *know* them is more likely to introduce exactly the element of discomfort into the list which you seem to find in Sarah/LJ/whoever's posts. It seems to me that to most people, the band fulfil the traditional role of the unobtainable popstars, whose job is to cause an emotional response in their fans. And this list is for discussing precisely that. I think Sarah's posts are hilarious, and the way that her letters are funny, eye-opening *and* about Belle and Sebastian doesn't "negate the purpose of this List", but is precisely what the list should be about. Even though I don't agree with her. :-) I'm off to make my directorial dreams reality, well, sort of. If you need me, I'll be in the studio, luvvies :-) Mark xxx ******************************************************************* The contents of this e mail from HIT Entertainment PLC are confidential and intended for the addressee only.
