Sinister: -God musta spent a little less time on me-
by Corpora Arenacea 17 Feb '99

Yeah, in fact that was my copy of Pussy Power's "Poon Mix" that Fraulein Pulpina snatched away. Only the people who didn't actually grow up in trailer parks can have the luxury of wanting to hear more about it. In fact I'm good and sick of her whining. My friend in Japan got to buy one CD for the next six months when she visited Sapporo, and bought that, and she says that now every time she listens to it in the car she wants to drive right off the cliff. Mind you I used to think it 'entrancing', I was the only person at her first Matador showcase to not blink an eye for the entirety of her sixty-minute drumless set. Intense, man. Since the splenectomy the doc's had me on a strict diet of folk-rock and light cock pop, though. ***Hiiiiidey ho**** to all y'all I met at the Sloan show! Oh, Sloan were great, I could hardly believe it. For a bunch of Nucks. (!) MAAD P!r!O!p!s! to Ginger who was representin' periwinkle stylee! Hope you had a place to sleep that night you footloose and fancy free loader. Believe it - that =was= my best behavior- thank you for being civil everyone. The Vietnam story was a big joke. Sorry. I love you all- Is Monica Queen one of those big Martha Wash-lookin' divas? Cuz she sure sounds hot. Wanna see her bourgeois pasties. Convenience junkies take note: all 4 EP's do in fact fit on a 74 minute CD. I'm sellin' em out the trunk for $59.95. I titled it "Belle and Sebastian :: Pre-Brit Rarities". Peace out, yo! Keep it real up inna field, aiight! Halifax, toppa da food chain! ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: ...this is hardcore...

dear "jarvis cocker is practically never mentioned in here" diary... people are too complicated, diary... i've attempted to push painful shyness aside and talk to people in my surroundings...i find much more contentment and fulfillment from sitting in my room and listening to my smiths vinyl than i find with any other human being that i am around... sad to some, maybe...but i think it's only right for me to feel comfortable...i cannot feel comfortable with people gossiping or being mean to one another...solitude can be a lovely thing as long as you have a turntable and a good stock of rain-scented candles...i am still plotting ways to smuggle myself into the UK in time for the festival...maybe there i would find some wonderful people to picnic with and share some of my orange juice with...my, i think that would be charming...i'd be sure to bring twisty-straws...they are so much fun...my favorite are the red ones... love, m. elise +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Is Winter Woofkie really a song title?
by Mick McMick * Sandcastle Records 16 Feb '99

16 Feb '99

Hm... Personally I'd say no, but then I recall the name of their last album. It's still funny to consider, though. Maybe that'll be the name of the fourth album. What the hell is a woofkie anyhow? Well, I really shouldn't be writing this, as I should be doing what I am required to spend 90% of my time on: developing & printing photographs. Argh! No replies to personal e-mails in probably two weeks. Sorry about that all of you who know what I'm talking about. Likewise sorry to those I owe tapes to... So, Loneliness will be the single, eh? I'm quite pleased, I can't imagine a better single. If there are no Stevie songs on the Winter Woofkie, where will Wrong Girl go? Hm, who knows... Isn't it interesting to note, though, that they seem to play lots of songs which later appear on EPs before official release, and most of the songs they record on albums are not on sessions, etc. Just an interesting overgeneralization, nothing more. To the person who commented about US TV & Radio, I think you might like to rephrase that. You must, of course, mean the musical shows/channels on US TV, right? I mean, we do have an awful lot of crap on TV, but who can knock the country which came up with Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Dexter's Laboratory & The Tick? Plus, I've been surprised by some shows I found interesting on VH1. Namely that program where they track down members of old (mostly 80's) bands and say where they are now. I was pleased to watch segments on both Thomas Dolby and Dexy's. Another part of the appeal is to see how sad some people have become. Some member of some new wave groop was saying how he did soundtracks to pornos, but that it was "not what you might think," and that he only did music for "classy," pornos. A clip of the intro of one of said "classy" pornos yielded an opposing observation by myself. Too, most of our radio sucks, and I say that as a music director. But, you must not overlook our many wonderful "oldies," stations. Incidentally, I am not all that surprised to find that Stevie is a fan of Booker T & the MGs. In fact, I was listening to said oldies radio one day last Christmas, and a song came on and I could swear it sounded so much like B&S, what with that organ & all. Well, more like B&S than most stuff on oldies radio anyway =P A questioning of my mother yielded that it was most likely Booker T. & the MGs. It wasn't "Green Onions," but it's not on the album I picked up by them either. I heard it again last week, but you know they never tell you what songs are playing, or in most cases, the bands either. So in summation, B&S won a Brit, huh? Well did they give a speech or anything? "This is for all you lovely people on the Sinister List," or something of the like? Or maybe "This is Pish, I'm leaving." /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick/Sandcastle Records <<->> bp224996(a)ohiou.edu \ / Sandcastle Records Homepage: ICQ#5056758 | | http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/4972/ | | "I am always wishing to make people | | in the world happy with my smiles." | | -Mr. Friendly +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Teletext news: B&S trimuph
by Steve Genge 16 Feb '99

16 Feb '99

Then, in the first real surprise of the night, the Best British newcomer award went to eight-piece Glasgow folk pop band Belle and Sebastian, who have barely dented the charts in their three-year career, but beat the likes of Steps, Billie and Cornershop in the category, which is chosen by listeners of BBC Radio One. The award was presented to two of the group by Huey from US band Fun Lovin' Criminals and Radio 1 DJ Zoe Ball who has just announced her engagement to Norman Cook, alias Fatboy Slim. ----------------------- Cant wait to see it on TV tomorrow now and thankfully we'll still be able to switch off before the Eurythmics reunion. By the way you can read a rather ace (I can say this, I didn't write it!) article on Looper by following the URL below :o) steve x "Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows."

Sinister: Anyone for a Dutch oven?
by mctag＠bigfoot.com 16 Feb '99

16 Feb '99

Hello Poopy Pants, Blimey. They winned. Well golly-gee. I wish I hadn't voted for Steps now, no-one likes to back a loser. Talking of losers, Warrander John wrote: >I have to admit, the euphoria's wearing off a bit and I'm starting >to have doubts about Bowliefest. Something to do with the generally >whiter-than-white, dull, indieboy rock line-up? Er, maybe So readers, guess what John "Shabba" Warrander has decided to do this weekend. Is he going to keep it real with the d n'b massive, freestyling live in the area with his posse? No, he's going to an indie all-dayer in Sheffield with Nealy Weely. >a coachload of red scum (that's Man United supporters to normal people) You were right the first time. >And if we're all going to have to dance til four in the morning for >three days running, I hope somebody out there is ensuring there'll >be a reasonable supply of, er... never mind. Ooh, drugs innuendo! What a clever boy. John, do you fancy a solo on the old organic harmonica, nudge, nudge....or maybe a snifter of Billy, or some Bogota Baby Powder, knowwarrimean? Of course no-one will be taking drugs there, we're all high on life, love and jelly babies. I do wonder how we've got a hope in hell of getting tickets seeing as how it will take only 600 phone calls to sell out. I think they should do a residency. Every weekend throughout the summer. With songs, and sketches, and jokes old and new. Make the lazy bastards earn their award. I just went to see Pecker again. I love John Waters. People say it's not as good as his early filthy stuff, but I say tish and fipsy. Night night, Love Tag xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: WHOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
by ar981611＠student.paisley.ac.uk 16 Feb '99

16 Feb '99

What can I say? For once, I am gobsmacked. We do indeed rule not only the school, but the world!!!!! Does this mean posters of Stuart and Isobel in Smash Hits now? I do hope so! Well done everyone (except the other bands obviously) and watch out for the papers wondering how "little-known" Belle and Sebastian could possibly beat all those bona fide Top Ten pop stars...hey, I just thought. B & S are properly famous now. Stuart will have to hang out at the Met Bar and get married to Shaznay Lewis or something. Isobel can have a "secret drugs hell" and Stevie and Chris can be seen with attractive mystery blondes at Stringfellows. By the way, for those worried that this could lead to B & S getting too big and popular, can I remind you all that this is the award once won by Tasmin Archer amd Beverley Craven. Didn't improve their standing in the nationale psyche, did it?
