Sinister: Re: You'll never touch the magic...

I have to agree with Natasha about the smells and the music. The worst thing though is when you smell a childhood smell and you get a rush of emotions but you can't remember why and you spend the rest of the day trying to remember the smell *and* remember where it comes from (usually my gran's or cub camp!). Songs are different. Sometimes I'll be listening to something and I'll just get a tingle in my head like pins and needles. The best times are at gigs and festivals when a cool band is doing their last single that you've heard on the radio loads. However it also happened to me throughout the ABBA tribute on the Brits *sigh* I guess I'm just an old pop tart. To little Chris: Don't do it mate. I've seen a lot of this and 9 out of 10 times its not going to happen. I was a v.v.v. lonely 16 year old who thought he fancied most of his female mates at one time or another. Things do get better, listen to The Smiths and feel sad (it's your duty to carry on the tradition), and one day someone WILL walk into your life and blow you away, promise. *hugs*. All these meet-ups make me want to have one of my own! If anyone's in the Worlds End in Camden on Saturday night... I'll probably be the drunken one in the corner falling asleep (I'm playing gigs tonight and tomorrow and then going for a night out in the Big Smoke as us yokels call it (the streets are paved with All Gold you know)). gotta go now Carsmile Steve ---------------------------------------------- carsmilesteve(a)geocities.com visit our website http://fast.to/carsmile 'So tell me what have you got?

Sinister: love and popsongs
by Jan Imgrund 11 Mar '99

11 Mar '99

Hi list, "Of all people I know, the ones whom pop music means most to have the least luck in love" - Nick Hornby, High Fidelity This might be true. Go listen to Bon Jovi and find the love of your life, or what? I'm seeing this already at the Bowlie Festival - hundreds of sad sinisterinas and sinistereros, having found the sinisterina/rero of their lives and not daring to tell them... Maybe we should put up a festival-crush-board there... Come on! It's spring, birds are singing, sky is high, sun shining (not where you are, in foggy Britain, of course, but it's wonderful weather here ;) I'm going out for a walk and enjoy life now.

Sinister: FW: Edinburgh meet up
by Keith Watson 11 Mar '99

11 Mar '99

OK chaps, after the Looper gig tomorrow at Avalanche in Cockburn street, anyone who's going, we might as well meet up at a pub and go and get a meal or something. I'm trying to think of a pub around there that'll not be stuffed full of people at that time, which is tricky, so I'll have a think about it, have a chat to Honey, and we'll oragnise something for the end of today. Anyone's invited of course. Cheers, Keith. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister:You'll never touch the magic if you don't reach out far enough
by headrush city 11 Mar '99

Let's try to raise sinister spirits a little, shall we? Here's my guide to playing a little trick on your mind in order to create extemely vivid memories of people/ events/ places you want to remember for ever and ever. I discovered this nifty little trick by accident when I came back from my holiday in Holland a few years back. Every time I smelt the deodorant I'd been using whilst there, it transported me back - it was as if I was there again. The reason this works is because your sense of smell is the most potent of the senses in bringing back memories. I think it works best when it's a new smell that you associate with the first time you experienced it, so I've got a perfume oil that IS my 16th birthday, and I figured out that your body doesn't know you're manipulating it so I got a shower gel that I used all the while I was in London and saved some so I can go back there every time I smell it. The lengths you'll go to when so much of your life is made up of memories, eh? This is just an equally pleasurable (or painful, depending on the situation) variable on the way certain songs are so tied up with certain times of your life they're inseperable from each other. Mind the gap, Londoners.

Sinister: la vita e bella!
by Arantxa Sanz 11 Mar '99

11 Mar '99

The list is dreadfully feeling sinister these late days.All this hurricane of self pity and misunderstood romanticism started with petit Chris confessions on the chaise longue, but we cannot blame him for this tsunami of sad bachelorship that had dashed our usually peaceful shores. Well, I am *so* happy at the moment that I cannot help the victims and it is even embarrasing.Being depressed is much more elegant than being/looking joyful.For example, let's have a look at sorrow-pop icons : Velvet Underground with stylish Nico commanding ; public school charming kid Nick Drake, or Ian Curtis Division.And what is left to JOYFUL ones? The Monkees are the most decent squad I can think of.At least, they always make me feel high again. Perhaps for the nth time in the list,I strongly suggest to listen to 'Va va Room'-Cinerama's first album.It's great.I never felt very concerned to The Wedding Present stuff,in spite of that brilliant album cover with George Best on it.Hey, John Warrander, what about Real vs. Zaragoza? I haven't checked the results yet, hope my tips turned out to be useful.Now that McManaman will become one of us, you cannot tell me you supported 'them', they have no kilt at all in their ranks. Double decker bus is a fantastic idea.I am really jealous I cannot join because I should go and fetch some people in Brighton before storming Rye. But I am just thinking about some football match on the beach, if English weather is allowed enough, some Scotland- Rest of the World and the Scots will have to wear kilts.They are so sexy! And for the bachelors , look at the bright side of life.You don't have to care about contraception, for example.

Sinister: snow patrol and Belle and Sebastian
by Jygsaw18＠aol.com 11 Mar '99

11 Mar '99

SNOWPATROL - "Songs for Polar Bears" CD - Jeepster Records, UK - 14 tracks of great pop music from members of Belle and Sebastian. This disc is an import that I accidently got two copies of. It's a really cool disc and has nice packaging. - Winner pays shipping - Payment by cash or money order only - No reserve - The disc ships the day I receive payment - Good luck! Bidding CD: SNOWPATROL (Belle and Sebastian Members)! (Item #74160830 I saw this on eBay.. correct me if I'm wrong, but Belle and Sebastian aren't the same as snow patrol. Yet this person seems to say they are. I know Isobel sings on one of the tracks of "songs for polar bears"... or do i not know something vital +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Looper in Glasgow
by ar981611＠student.paisley.ac.uk 11 Mar '99

11 Mar '99

I realise this is maybe a bit short notice, but if any of you are going to see Looper in Missing Records, Glasgow this afternoon, there are a few of us meeting up in Ghillie Browns, the pub upstairs in Central Station at 4pm. If you can't make that, then we are going back out to the pub somewhere (venue to be argued about, I mean decided) after the gig, so if you see any friendly looking types at the gig then come and say hello to us and join us in the pub later. And have people got their Bowlie tickets through from Ticketweb yet, as we haven't, and I worry about these things... Thanks to everyone who wrote to me about my MSc paper - I may well be getting back in touch with you to ask you a couple more questions later, but in the meantime, I just wanted to say a big *THANK YOU* to you all. Oh, and if any of you know Gary Done, can you give him a big prod and tell him to email me please !!! Finally, Chris (and others), I can thoroughly sympathise with your plight, I have lost my two best male friends through misplaced admissions of decidedly unplatonic feelings. Tread carefully is the best advice I can give you, friendship is the most important thing about the relationship at any rate, so keep that going whatever you do - if it develops fiurther then you will have a wonderful thing especially if you never lose sight of the fact that you are friends first and foremost, if not then you will have to run the risk of losing a best friend, which is a silly thing to give up if you aren't entirely sure that it should be something more. And take it from someone currently in this situation, it can get a bit icky if you are in class together. I am a reasonably mature 26, with a couple of longterm relationship experiences under my belt and it doesn't get any easier at this age....can you let us know how you get on Chris, I'll have my fingers crossed for you.

Sinister: B&S in R.S.
by Jeanette 11 Mar '99

11 Mar '99

Anyone see the Belle & Sebastian mention in the latest issue of Rolling Stone? Check the Sheffield Report. It's not very nice, though. Something about 'whatever it takes to keep them off the library steps.' Or something like that. jeanette +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: sour grapes at the Brits...again
by Ben Ferneyhough 11 Mar '99

Morning all, switched on the Big Breakfast this morning to see 2 of Another Level lolly-gagging on the bed with that Kelly one. She asked them what they thought of B&S winning the best newcomer, and there opinion was that it was a fix !! As if !! I thought all this had died down, but then Kelly went on to say she'd never heard of them, and then A.L. also said they hadn't either. It's good to hear that. Knobheads. It just made me smile. All over, I'll fill you in next time I hear anything on the Big Breakfast !!
