Well I recently turned 19 and I'm delighted to get older. I mean why do you have to feel bad about getting older it's just a fact of life and I must say it feels great. I hvae overcome that speciall feeling about birthday so what I turn one year older but I doesn't feel anything different from the day before, maybe it does later on. I dunno.. b&s music is great since it siutes both yound and old. My grandmother for instance thinks Belle is a very pleasant group:) hugs all becka # go and have a peek at my page it's constantly developing, http://www.angelfire.com/me/Mizzy # Hello pop pickers. When is it that birthdays stop becoming something you eagerly look forward to, your little heart bursting with the anticipation of presents and a party at four in the afternoon, and instead turn into a day met with the sinking feeling of time passing? It'll be my ninteenth very soon, and no offence to anyone over 19, but it makes me feel o-l-d. It's probably due to the realisation that I've only got one year of being a teenager left. Once you hit 20, do you get all nostalgic for days spent bunking off in the park, or are you more glad to be rid of the out-of-control hormones and the pretensiousness? The music of b&s could only have been made by people young at least in spirit , by which I mean you can't create melodies like theirs if you feel tired and old.

Sinister: Let us welcome a new member...
by chris 20 Mar '99

20 Mar '99

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome a new member to the list, one Craig Lee Thompson <painbirds(a)hotmail.com>. Craig is a relatively new fan, and after much lauding of this list on my part, he was inspired to join... The amusing part is although so instructed by yours truly, he neglected to read the rules and FAQ's, sending a post (since he felt compelled to reply to a Smog/Tindersticks discussion) and was scourned by the big eye in the sky, the sinister list trustee! I had warned him of the unofficial one week waiting period, which without my knowledge had become the official three week nursery peroid, and alas his post never reached our eyes... so it is not just a warning! His reply from the list trustee mentioned he would had to wait the three week nursery period and Craig believed this was an extra penance (not the official universal rule) and quickly unsubscribed under his old address and resubscribed under his new Sparklehorse inspired hotmail address. Is it masochistic to find humour in others suffering? Is it only I who finds this scenario amusing? You still have 15 days to wait Crackers!!!

Sinister: we can make the world a whole lot brighter
by pamela berry 20 Mar '99

20 Mar '99

hi everyone! I come bearing news of the full-up nature of the bowlie double decker bus. I can't believe there was ever a time right there at the beginning when I thought to myself, self, it might be craziness to try to fill up an entire bus. but there are scads and scads of pro-bus people flying in from faraway lands and it didn't take long after all! I've got a waiting list going in case anybody drops out, give me a shout if you want to be on it. it's in the bus contract that we aren't supposed to hang banners off the side of the bus, boo hiss. I have also noticed it's in the contract that anyone who wants to sing robbie williams, billie, or britney spears songs on the bus has to use their inside voices. hey, I don't make the rules. oooooon, you are very strong for such a slight gal, and I'm very sad you won't be taking a break from swinging tigers by their tails to come to camber sands. I'd steal the answers to the math part of the entrance exam for you if I thought it would sway your decision. just because I like to sit in the front of the bus doesn't mean I'm not a bad seed, make no mistake. just yesterday I ate more than half of one of those self-serve chocolate cookies in tesco *before* I got to the checkout. call on me oon, I'm at your service. call on me oon, I need a consultation. nobody one the big lottery jackpot this week. if our numbers come up I'll be nick cage and you can be bridget fonda and we'll split the take. you all make me feel so spring has sprung. it's perfect weather to listen to chris montez, and now I can listen to that sixties god of alluring vocals and suave handclaps and watch tv at the same time, because for some crazy reason they're playing chris montez on that green giant broccoli commercial. I knew I could multitask by the end of this decade if I put my head to it. I don't want to give anyone the impression, however correct, that I watch too much television, but is anyone else in the uk traumatised by that oxo advert, the one where the couple are in the car having a flashback about some hot weekend they spent in preston? it's the flashback, she hands him the plate of chicken at the family dinner table and drools, "and michael...remember preston." cut to the present, back in the car with hubby driving and her lascivious query, "so what's on the menu tonight?" cue the big green highway sign pointing the way to preston, fade out with some porn trumpets. fluffy sarah, what the hell is going on in preston that you haven't been telling us? xopam +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Amphetameanies Show 19/3
by Kara Baer 20 Mar '99

20 Mar '99

Dear Sinister confessional list, Last night I was reminded of how much I like ska music. I've never really cared for ska albums, simply because they seem to sound a bit flat. They lose the energy and fun of the live show. The Amphetameanies did not disapoint. The audience consisted an equal mix of dour indie kids and skankers. I did see a wee B&S herd up near the front consisting of Stu M (looking dapper in a dress shirt and tie), Isobel, and Stevie. I think Stu M thinks I'm following him around. I'm really not. No, really! He does recognize me at this point, though. (I think that would make a great song title for my album.. "Kara: the album" track 1-> Belle & Sebastian think I'm following them around but I'm really not.) The opening band was pretty rockin'. Not in a bad way, in a mediocre way..complete with musically masturbatory guitar solos, whole verses consisting of "Na na na na na..na na na", and their last song sounded just too much like the theme from Rocky. They were increadably earnest. I really just don't go for "Na na na's." Not everything has to have vocals slapped on top of it. The Amphetameanies came on about 11 to a vastly appreciative audience. Some people were ready to skank even before they started playing. They did a mix of instrumentals and songs with vocals by their Debbie Harry look-a-like singer and boy singer. Mick looked very fetching in his checked trousers. He and the trombone-girl had some problems with this green light which was shining directly in their faces. After some conferring between songs, shouting at Jim the light guy, and gesturing by the B&S crowd, they finally managed to turn the light around towards the audience. Crisis averted. The horn section was very together; they sounded good. As I played trombone in a reggae band, I know how difficult it can be to get the horns sounding decent. I also enjoyed seeing Mick expand his musical talents on such instruments as the cowbell.

Sinister: 10 Roddington Hull Place
by PJMiller 20 Mar '99

20 Mar '99

I didn't say students were dull or full of misplaced arrogance, I was just wondering aloud, that's all. It wasn't like that in borstal, I can tell you. In borstal, we chose the "daddy" based on his fighting ability and his potting shed aplomb, not whether he'd done any bloody revision or not. I was always there or thereabouts. Some people have written in claiming that they can't read books. That's probably because the books they are trying to read aren't about Ed Wood. I'm reading one, and I think I'm going to be able to finish it sooner or later. It's got me in its spell, I'm transfixed. I might write an essay about it and give it to my tutor, Captain Fellatio Hornblower. Terrible news. Not only has Emu gone to the great Parkinson Show in the sky, but I have learnt that the man who wrote "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window" took his own life. What a shame he didn't live long enough to see the influence his music has had on The Genteel Waifs' fantastic new album, out now on Tiger Records. It was great to read that Isobel isn't as soft as she might appear. People tend to judge her on her tiger ears bonnet and school uniform, but there's much more to her than that. I got that "Doggie" information from The Roulette Records Story, which has plenty on it to please all you kite-flying fanatics. I was expecting 3 CDs of non-stop Northern stompers, but I only got one or two of those (songs, not CDs), plus loads and loads of novelty pop, such as "Santa Bring Me Ringo" and "Doodle Doodle Doo". On a brighter note, it does contain "English Country Garden", so I can learn the proper words now, instead of "how many times have you had it off in an English country garden? I've done it twice and I think it's very nice in an English country garden", which might be a more appropriate version for the Big Red Bus. Duke wrote: >And you ask Meat Wholash???? get an education, kids! To which McRagtag replied most informatively. I've seen Meat Wholash. They weren't very good, and the bird from the Shoppies was playing the drums or something and then sang a bit. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Duke himself was there. Of course, only the real hardcore were present, because we all had coursework to hand in to our tutors. I think there's a Meat Wholash track on one of those Creation compilation LPs, but I have no memory of it, so I suspect Professor Tune was on a sabbatical. But please keep on educating us, Duke. First Keith's "superb fretwork" University of Rock, then Tim's "lifetime commitment" Polytechnic of Pop, and now Duke's Boarding School of Obscure Indie. What a well-educated bunch we are! I bet the kids on the Steps list get all their knowledge from the backs of bubblegum cards. I bet they haven't got tutors. Or matrons.

Sounds to me like a copywriter with impressive taste - has anybody else ever wondered how to spread the message via subversive means? You never know, somebody, somewhere with a rack chocka with Afghan Whigs and Polly might have been teased to complete the collection with a bit of B&S.

Re: Sinister: "...memory is not life and it's not love...
by Nick Dastoor 19 Mar '99

Youn Jong Noh pondered: > i wonder how stuart murdoch loves. Well I've heard salacious tales of Stuart and his romantic modus operandi to make a bed-wetter blush. I'm sure it's sufficiently chinese-whispered a story not to constitute a gross invasion of privacy. Apparently he got some girl back to his flat a while ago and after a while, got tired of being cute and came over all masterful instead. "So, are we going to to have sex then?" were his words, I'm told. Shocking. Exciting news on the non-B&S front: record shops are listing The Go-Betweens' Lost Album (78-79) as a forthcoming release (April 6th). All this Gold Cup talk and no one's spotted that when you hear the winner's name on the radio is sounds like 'Seymour Business' - more lateral thinking required. I think I've found another B&S worm in the media - Richard Longhurst in the Telegraph's IT Supplement reviewed the recommendation feature of www.tunes.com and plucked "toe-tapping tunesters Belle & Sebastian" as an example search. Apparently 'Bjorn227' likes them and is also into Jawbreaker and Guided by Voices. I'm very suspicious of such technologies - no matter how many Left Banke and Delroy Wilson records I put in my wish list, CDnow keeps recommending the Cure and Guns & Roses. 'Not for me' 'Not for me' I click, but all it does is suggests "Use Your Illusion 2" instead of "The Spaghetti Incident". Talking of recommendations, I'm very confused about this Camber Sands condom business. During which activity do they come into play - the solarium? Is it extra?
