Sinister: allo americans
by Thomas Sather 17 Feb '99

17 Feb '99

Is there any Americans going to the B&S summer camp? I want to go so bad I can taste but I am having problems mustering up enough people here in Denver to go. Email me if any of you are in the same camp. and... Congrats Belle and Sebastian. I never doubted for a second you wouldn't win. tom ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Festival questions and things
by Lee 17 Feb '99

17 Feb '99

On other matters, post brits this does'nt seem important, but.... I will hopefully be going to the festival, if i get through on the phone lines, is it Friday? What time do the lines open? I feel like an Oasis fan. Did David answer the credit card question or was he too hung over? I live in Nottinghamshire by the way, feel free to get in contact if you're stuck, maybe we can work something out. I'm male by the way with no previous convictions. lee +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: storm in a teacup.
by Marie Elia 17 Feb '99

17 Feb '99

someone's post today mentioned looking back at this and seeing it as a storm in a teacup... i looove that phrase! anyway, good morning, sinisterites.... it is morning here in the eastern US. it's funny -- all the fuss over there in the UK, and no one here (at my wee liberal arts college in pennsylvania) has heard of belle&sebastian, or the brit awards. so while i've been walking about with b&s on my headphones, smiling a secret smile thinking of our beloveds winning the award, it's funny how little this has affected the people around me. i can imagine all you kids over in england and scotland and such, getting sloshed in celebration and watching various and sundry interviews and videos on the t.v., meanwhile back at the ranch (yeah, western PA) people go about their business as if nothing has happened. perhaps kimmy and i should have our own britaward party this weekend? we can pick up a jug of wine and watch the wicked video over and over again, since that is the only video that has made it over here, to my knowledge -- although perhaps we can catch the looper video.... and we can make collages with the various magnet and cmj and spin magazines lying about on my floor! okay, kids -- take care, and i guess i should jump on the bandwagon and say P!r!O!P!s! to belle&sebastian!!!!!! xo, marie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Not all good news
by L. Kerr 17 Feb '99

17 Feb '99

So sure was I that B&S were not going to win, so convinced of the inherent superiority of Steps, that I rashly promised to post to sinister every day for a fortnight if they won. Hell. So, err Someone mentioned the widely surpressed rumour about a love-child emanating from Isobel and Mrs Murdoch's favourite son. It is true. It is wee Chris. The Scotsman (the Edinburgh based national newspaper)is the first paper I have read which mentions that B&S winning was "a surprise". Everyone else has been too polite.

Sinister: no, they can't have won...........
by jake 17 Feb '99

17 Feb '99

Now everyone will hear them and they won't be sensitive and they'll release christmas records and be asked to join in in multi-band medleys for the royal variety performance................ Just joking, i couldn't be more pleased, great news and we can all be proud that we played our part. I missed the big breakfast appearence but i've had radio one on just waiting to hear them play some b&s, but they're still fighting the urge....... And as for the award ceremony, well from what i've read it was Mick and Richard who went up and collected the award, and all i heard about the speech was that it had the phrase, "hi, i'm sebastian and he's belle" or something like that.... And just a final comment on the free looper cd, well today's the last day for entries, so i can send it out pretty soon, leaders so far are the bloke who's black mailing me (you know who you are!) and not-so-sensitive stan who said that sarah would win the wrestling contest between the members of B&S because she'ld eat them all, shame on you! oh, and this weekender fest is now going to be full of "new fans" boo! (again, i'm just joking) jake +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: So B&S won a brit award, big wow..........
by ETLRDHY＠notes.ericsson.se 17 Feb '99

17 Feb '99

No, really. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But what if it's all just a wonderful dream and they ring up and they have to give it back or something terrible like that. I mean what if we're all experiencing some sort of mass hallucination a la Jim Jones and Stuart Murdoch is going to use us for somekind of dirty and ultimately perverted end?????????????? GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! If you play the doggy ep backwards I'm sure there's a bit about inner peace and enlightenment through the use (hey kids I don't abuse drugs I uooouuuuuuse drugs, cha!) of Birds Angel Delight. Richard (and I'm not into rock'n'roll I'm more of a peeping tom really) Feely +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

by Sam Norman 17 Feb '99

17 Feb '99

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow! Ok so last night i wasn't listening to the brits i must admit. I didn't even realise that they won until 11.00am this morning but bloody hell i won last night as well. We went out on the town last night, (after being a memebr of the audience for a new comedy show about the net [net.comedy] and we eventually found our way to madame jo jo's. God was it a good night. not only did i pull but she came back to mine as well and i got my first bit of proper action in over a year and a half (not just the once but 3 times) to a soundtrack of belle and sebastian! We had no idea that they had won! Anyway full of pride and renewed self esteem many congrats! sam +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
