it is isobel on the sleeve of "the boy with the arab strap", isn't it? someone said something about her photos on stuart david's belle & sebastian site - about how the shadows were working for her - and the same might be true here because it was only after i had seen several of the black and white photos like that that i made the connection. but i wouldn't want to be mean and say she aspired to be a cover star the way one might of courtney love. but my confusion must be understandable because the only photo i had seen of her before was the one where she is wearing overall style shorts and standing next to sarah. here is another mystery. all the reports i've heard suggest that isobel is sort of stand-offish but is that because she is shy or because she has made herself into someone different? is judy the kind of girl that stuart would fall in love with or only the kind of girl he would write songs about? was it inevitable that isobel would make herself over in order to be loved by stuart and or did she gain confidence from that and then blossom or fade (whichever way you want to look at it)? or are they just photos that have nothing to do with the way people really are? where in america do people say "hey kool-aid"? i agree with the person who made the point about street sweepers. (sincerely, knowing that things sometimes come across funny on email) work = happiness i will be happy again. a long time ago, someone mentioned lloyd cole. would you agree that rattlesnakes is the best album and on it, rattlesnakes and four flights up are the best songs with are you ready to be heartbroken as runner-up? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Andrew and his dream of his horses actually winning
by Andrew Tracey 18 Mar '99

18 Mar '99

OK, so the racing tips have been disastrous but if we include Mark's Celtic Giant we're in profit so for the last day of Cheltenham we have 2.00 Knife Edge - what the Brits vote was on or The Gene Genie - it's nearly called the Bowie weekender 2.35 Go Informal - upside down badges may stand out in a crowd but they're not smart 3.15 Go Ballistic - which we all did when we heard B+S had won or See More Business - I wonder if it's related to See More Stein (very bad pun) 3.55 Celtic Abbey - see Mark, I noticed this one or Sands Of Gold - ease your feet into the sea at the weekender 4.30 Sublime Fellow - is Stuart 5.05 Mr Strong Gale - Mr Waterman is huffing and puffing but he won't blow our house down 5.40 Once More For Luck - we didn't know how many votes we needed or Sound Appeal - B+S's sound does appeal, that's why we like them Interesting mystical linkage - Pavement are not playing at the weekender because they want to watch their horse running at the Kentucky Derby meeting. Rachel (or archel - I don't know which you prefer), what can you be tested on for seven days. That can't be one exam, can it?? I used to fall asleep after an hour and a half when I was doing mine. I'm sure I had something else I was going to tell you but I've forgotten what it is. It couldn't have been that important. bye bye for now my new best friends andrew +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: how belle and sebastian made my day...
by Annie Tremp 17 Mar '99

17 Mar '99

hmmm... i'm feeling very good right now! the day started out really rotten when my botanics teacher didn't show up, which usually wouldn't sound too bad (on the contrary) but since i had to get up at 6.45 and we'll have to catch up while we're already on a very tight schedule, i wasn't really smiling this morning. so i went home in a very grumpy mood only to find...a package waiting for me with everything in it to make my day! so i've been listening to '3...6...9...seconds of light' the whole afternoon wearing my beautiful new t-shirt and putting my badges on every bag i could find. and honestly, who could keep on moaning under such circumstances? i've even decided that my laboratory exam (for i have one tomorrow)is going to go perfectly well and i plan to keep on smiling even if it doesn't. andrew tracey said that he couldn't read a whole book anymore, i've got the same problem with films right now (what is wrong with us "scientific people", huh?). it sounds stupid, but even if i like it, after 20 minutes i just have to go do something else. maybe i'll train myself by watching my old cartoons again. this is gonna sound weird but i learnt english by watching tex avery cartoons when i was little. i couldn't read yet so i couldn't read the subtitles. i'm serious about this! my parents told me that suddenly they noticed i understood everything that was said. so never let anyone tell you cartoons are bad for you! and andrew, whatever you do, don't read several books at once. i'm reading four right now and the least i can say is it gets a bit confusing... sometimes it's quite funny though, when you start mixing things up. maybe i should continue revising for tomorrow... xo, (it looks nice AND it'a a great album!) annie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Hey Koolaid!
by Graham LeBron 17 Mar '99

17 Mar '99

sometimes, in america at least, if you're just sitting at work bored to hell, or listening to terrible lectures for hours on end, you and others may spontaneously shout "Hey Kool-aid!!" amazingly enough, the larger than life kool-aid man crashes through the wall with enough kool aid for everyone! instant party, see? I imagine he'll proly be at camber sands, relaxing and waiting for another wall to break through. or at least thats what I'll be doing there. cheers, gram Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Hold Off! Unhand Me, Graybeard Loon!
by PJMiller 17 Mar '99

17 Mar '99

Has Mister Honey had a birthday? Did it coincide with Jack Kerouac's? Bloody beatniks, the pair of you! Happy birthday, Big Tackle! I look forward to abusing that "no-mail" setting on the first Tuesday of every month. Do they all come tumbling out at you when you switch it off again? I think it's a bit unfair to accuse Jack Kerouac of being a misogynist, just because he invented the expression "her indoors" to refer to his wife. It's funny that Tim should mention using his books as bog roll, because legend has it that "On the Road" was written on a massive toilet roll in five minutes of speed-driven creativity, or something. And the band played be-bop if you like. Tim also wrote: The LP of the Investiture of the Prince of Wales (1969) came out on well-respected reggae label Pama Records. This is the truth. This is the most fascinating thing I've read on the list in ages. This is the truth. Have you got it, Tim? Could you scan the cover and send it to Paul? I've seen that Welsh voodoo slate circle thing where he was initiated, you know. Prince Charles, I mean, not Paul. It was the same day I bought the Runaround Quiz Book, which was the subject of fevered debate on the list a few months ago. WHSmith's. The Queen did it. Wearing green, I think. Steady on, Steady Mike! There's plenty of mileage to be got from the Generous Whales website! We could even have a competition to see who can find most mistakes in Isobel's lovely wee story "Modern Homes". I counted over forty, not including errors of judgement. Someone needs an Accu-type course, I think. I started one, but never got past teh first level. See what I mean? Intelligentsia indeed! Pah! PAH! Speaking of courses, how come only students feel the need to tell 1000 strangers what "work" they're doing? You don't hear roadsweepers saying "I've got fourteen streets to do before lunchtime" do you? DO YOU? No, you don't. Because no one gives two hoots. Ooon, hopefully I can alleviate your suffering (or make it worse) by getting round to sending your tape, provisionally entitled "Madame Ooon's Exotic Palace of Soul". I'm sad you're not going to Camber sands, I was looking forward to hearing about your attempts to do your elephant nonsense with the donkeys.

Sinister: Life, why, girrrlllls, and scotland freezes over regularly - okay?
by M223CMellan 17 Mar '99

17 Mar '99

I'm really sorry if I turned the list into a mass of weeping folk last week, commenting on how crappy and bitchy life can be ('how bleak life is, man') but sometimes, a boy has gotta do what he shouldn't. But hey - the topic has changed onto books. It's true - kerouak was a drug fueled hippy who wrote books for people who had why posters on thier walls. My sister has a friend who does theology as one of her electives at uni, and this person was sitting an exam, with a question which people were writing screeds about, giving their theories on life. The question read "why?". The person wrote "Why not - shit happens, so get over it", and got full marks. A good answer, I think. I'm still bleedin' inside cause I haven't said anything to he girl. Still, we're going to a celtic match in about 2 weeks (for americans, and others, celtic are a 'soccer' club, or as mr tommy burns might say "celticfootballclub"). If we score lots of goals, that would equate to lots of hugging opertunities, pehaps a passionate embrace, or two. unless she were to hit me and say - "get lost". and I would feel really bad about life and everything. A 'yank' (sounds like :- 'wank' ) said >They live in Scotland, >yeah, but Scotland gets hot, too! Why were all those kids from >Trainspotting running around in tiny little t-shirts? Eh? You can't fool >us yanks! Next thing I know you're going to tell me heroin makes you >sweat! What the hell would you know? you don't have to freeze your crystalballs on the 2 mile walk to school (this is no joke - 2 miles wth frozen balls - read it and weep). Still, I am able to polish (you might say 'buff') them up to a lovely crystal sparkle afterwards. And anyway, I wouldn't know about herion, drugs are evil, and so are obese americans (the american bit was a joke, the drugs bit wasn't) Scotland, glasgow in particular, is an bad place. It is full of 'bams', 'neds'. Hey, the film is coming soon - in KAPPAVISION tm. Fran Healy from travis said on a teletext page that with us scots, if life gets us down, we write a song about it. He is also meant to be a chum of Stu M - in fact, b&s were refereed to by the teletext page as "trendy glasgow band belle & sebastian". Oh my god - does this mean that we are all, as fans, trendies, and in with the "cool set". hope not. (by the way, do you like my new, and hopefully improved, tag?)

Sinister: I know where the summer dwells...
by Robin Stout 17 Mar '99

17 Mar '99

Hey kids! We had a power cut the other night for three hours. It was ace! We had to do everything by candlelight and I had to phone my mum to ask her what they used to do in the days before television. There's a funny old man who lives across the road from us and who spends his whole day standing outside his house in his vest. We met him outside during the powercut and he looked at us solemnly and said "She's dying tonight". Woooo! Spooky or what? It was sort of disappointing when the power came back on. Sorry, I must be more relevant. Andrew Tracey said: >The problem is I can't read books. Lord knows I've tried. >I've bought half a dozen books in the past six months but I can't >seem to finish any of them. Maybe you're just reading the wrong books for you. I'm a physics student too and for some reason I got it into my head a few years ago that I ought to be reading science fiction. So I tried, and I failed, and I realised that I just didn't enjoy that sort of book. So look around for your sort of book. If that fails what you should do is get a book and rip out say, nine pages in ten. That way a two-hundred page book will be reduced to twenty pages. Hooray! You've read it in half an hour! I have nothing to say on the subject of Robbie Williams except that an anagram of "Robbie Williams ttfac" is "Twat Face lrimsborbli", which is kind of uncanny, I think.

Re: Sinister: Why Oh Why Oh Why

Honey, the new fonts are scaring me, and I refuse to search the archives until you've done something about them. So was Elvis a cat or what, and who is this Monica Queen anyway? I've never read any Kerouac and don't know enough about him to add anything to debate on his private life, but he's been mentioned in songs by B&S, the Go Betweens and, erm, Marillion, so he has acquired a few pop credentials along that road he was on. As for Robbie, I LOVE ROBBIE! OK? Have done ever since he was in the 'That. There's nothing rational about it, so your anti-Robbie arguments are all completely lost on me, however valid they may be. His music's shite though, especially Angels. Ailsa brought something to my attention regarding Bowlie tickets, which I don't think has been mentioned on Sinister. If it has been mentioned already then I'm sorry, but as previously mentioned I am refusing to use the archives at present. Check out the Jeepster Bowlie page and you will see that a few people have been panicking about the non-arrival of tickets in the post. According to David there will be no tickets as such, the person who phoned in their credit card details will have to sign a credit card slip when they arrive. This means that you MUST take your credit card with you, and if you used someone else's card to book a chalet then you might run into problems when you arrive, if you have no alternative way of paying for the chalet.
