Sinister: Smashing Time

Hello All-new singing dancing Sinisterines, I'm a bit late re-joining the fun, I've been on holiday in Wumpkinnyland. My luggage is still on holiday actually, it decided to go to New York, so now I've got jet lag but no clean underwear. But I had jolly super fun of course, and it snowed. It snowed a lot in fact. Proper snow, not the big girl's blouse English variety. Needless to say we saw no foxes, but there was a cute little black squirrel which tasted delicious with Swiss Chalet's special sauce. We went to Montreal and stayed with Lucas, the silent Montreal Sinisterine who wowed us with his gentlemanliness and Wendy Carlos' version of the Brandenberg concertos played on the Moog. Lucas, we salute you. I found a copy of Evie Sands' "Angel of the morning" for three dollars in the world's most chaotic record shop, and a beautiful Tami Terrell LP in Toronto, but Wumpkinny got the scoops of the week with Les Sultans (the Quebecois Zombies) and Jenny Rock (the Quebecoise Shampoo). And we saw "Rushmore" which was ace. Trousers was in it. He kept that quiet. Plus I learned the true meaning of the word "hoser" and it isn't what Keith keeps in his y-fronts. Now there's multifarious B&S type pleasures to look forward to. Looper on Wednesday. Fluffy, I have your ticket. What's the deal with these chalets at Camber Sands? Do we all jump in together? Are there bunk beds? I'm very excited. Poor Dusty. They were playing "You don't have to say you love me" in Vortex in Toronto and it was all I could do not to cry. And Stanley Kubrick too, even though I think Clockwork Orange is possibly the shittest film I've ever seen - "Lolita", "The shining", "Doctor Strangelove", classics the lot of them. It was weird reading the paper this morning and realising that up till now I'd had no idea what he looked like. I'm going to phone Warrander John now and find out about his 4-Real weekend. Until next time... Love Tag (who does not think Bis are the new X ray spex, despite rumours to the contrary) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the lighter side of tree
by john kerswell 08 Mar '99

08 Mar '99

yes, this is my first post, no i am not a 'new fan' i am a good while pre-'gold', and sat silently smiling through the post coital smoke in the nurture room. Just thought I'd tell you all about somethng rather nifty and dinky i saw on saturday.It was in the Royal College of Art in Kensington, just next to Mr Alberts large marquee. Poised amoung the symphony of the students exhibits was a white telescope. When peering in the eye piece, the teeny words of 'Open your eyes, open your mind' could be read. I thought they had somehow been inserted into the lens, and it was only upon further inspection the theory was toppled. For the telescope was picking up a message from the outside, the real world. Pointed directly at a tree in Hyde Park, it was reading an inverted text stuck on the bark, positioned in a way that many people would pass the back of the tree, but never hear it's voice.How many of us are guilty of that? A great use of space. It of course was better out of black type, but taut I'd share it Annie Haps,I skit.

Re: Sinister: re: if you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding

In response to Mark's message regarding my sad encounter with meat, it was indeed the result of eating meat after not having eaten it years. Otherwise the food was fine. My mom was able to eat it without any problems. Nice Floyd subject title, though I'm not such the big Wall fan. There are soooo many better albums in their giant canon. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: jacket hangs
by Simon Ludlam 08 Mar '99

08 Mar '99

Anybody know what 'The Blue Aeroplanes' are up to these days? Have they split? If so, I would like to hire Wojtek Domchowski to interpret the complete works of Belle and Sebastian. If you've seen him, you'll know what I mean! If not, then I hope they haven't split...

Sinister: Metal Top Ten (no B&S)
by Lee 08 Mar '99

08 Mar '99

Lee whispers, MAIL ME PRIVATELY PLEASE (of course you all knew that) Can anyone who watched the Metal Top Ten tell me the Top Two. My video ran out of tape when Lemmy got to No.2 and I cant think of any band that sold buckets of records, who was it? It's probably really obvious, my minds a blank. Put me out of my misery please. I can guess that Led Zep where No.1, I guess they were sort of metal for a while. And I don't suppose anyone could tell me what Lemmy was saying, I didn't catch a word! thanks, lee. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Alone in the City of Angels
by Jarrod San Angel 08 Mar '99

08 Mar '99

Bon Jour * Guten Tag * Aloha * G'day * Assalam Alaikum * Buenas Dias Hear Ye, Hear Ye dearest lovelies: there exists a staunch & stalwart Belle & Sebastian afficianado amidst the ruins of this nation's great cultural wasteland we so fondly call the City of (Fallen) Angels - Los Angeles.. alas! alack! Woe, oh woe is me! For I fear I must be alone with this great secret of B&S.. No one - and I mean NO ONE seems to ever speak of them - or know of there existance at all, for that matter.. Last November, when I trekked all the way to darling NYC to see our precious ones at the Supper Club, everyone I encountered and told the tale to asked, "You flew to NY to see WHO..???" Tears stream quietly down this lonely boy's cheeks.. I NEED B&S companionship here in LA, dammit! Why isn't anyone organizing picnics and get-togethers out here..? Am I, as I dreadfully suspect, the Lone Belle & Sebastian fan of LA..? God forbid... So I leave it up to you to inform me of the others.. answer my prayers and let yourself be none, my pretties.. And oh, by the way, my name is Jarrod San Angel, I'm 22, into everything wonderful, and a former Smiths junkie.. Hope to hear from you all very soon.

Sinister: Help me!!!
by ar981611＠student.paisley.ac.uk 08 Mar '99

08 Mar '99

Very little B & S content I am afraid, but please read on as I would be most grateful for any assistance. As part of my MSc course I have to conduct a piece of research into some aspect of business and computerisation. What I propose to research is the growth of the Net-based music industry and the implications for the conventional industry (record companies, record stores etc) and also for the fans. If any of you (and I know there are some of you) could help me by letting me know your views on this, I will love you lots and possibly buy you a pint if you are going to Camber Sands. I am thinking in particular of on-line record shopping, why it is better (or not) than going down to your local friendly indie store/corporate big bloke, what your views are on, say, the idea people had a while back about making Tigermilk available for download when it didn't look like it was going to be re-released. If anyone has a personal interest in the way that the music industry is going (say, in a band, PR, working for a record company or whatever) I would be grateful if you could get in touch so that I can pick your brains in detail at a later date. But any randon thoughts on the matter would be most appreciated too, as I want to look at it from the perspective of the average punter as well as from within the industry. Remember the golden rule about this, kids, POST TO ME AND NOT TO THE LIST!!!! On another matter, for those in the UK with satellite TV, FilmFour seem to be showing a few Hal Hartley films this week. Perhaps there will be a season of Stanley Kubrick films on soon too...it's always a shame that someone has to die before you get their films on the telly. Stanley Kubrick and Dusty Springfield, it hasn't been a good week, has it? If anyone is going to the Looper thing in Glasgow I will see you there. What with this, the fact that I should have a ticket for the Gentle Waves by now, and Camber Sands, it's going to be a right good couple of months for me anyway (if you ignore all the university work I have to do). Have people thought about how they are getting to Camber Sands, and is anyone wanting to do something in London on the Thursday night? Oh, and have any of you volunteered to be a documentary? You could become the new Maureen Rees/Jane McDonald/Jeremy Spake you know! (Apologies for cultural reference of no relevance whatsoever to anyone from outside the UK/with any taste). Well I think that's enough from me for now. Take care and keep smiling, all of you.

Sinister: only a tenner to get to bowlie in style
by pamela berry 08 Mar '99

08 Mar '99

good morning everyone! hope you all had a stellar weekend. mine started off friday night on the perfect foot with a short trip to london bridge and ace very olde pub the george. beers were drunk in the company of mostly sinister folk, where I had the pleasure of meeting jen from the land of cheese, wisconsin, usa. the weekend ended on a more annoying but still dairy-filled note, with the sunday night rerun of never mind the buzzcocks proving my suspicions that billie is dumb as cheese. it all comes down to cheese, which is normally my life slogan, but not on this day. this day, my life slogan is... BOWLIE OR BUST ON A DOUBLE DECKER BUS! here's the thing. I'm a big fan of the double decker red bus, and who isn't? so I looked into how much it would be to charter one so a bunch of fest-goers could travel in style from london to camber sands and back again, and as it turns out, it's really affordable! cheaper than the train, even. plus I figure it'll be a lot more fun to travel down with a bunch of people! the bus will leave london friday noon, so if you live in/near london, or happen to be stopping over in london from a faraway place before you head down to bowlie, I hope you'll keep this double decker bus option in mind. david tells me that sunday the beats don't stop till the break of dawn, so the return bus will leave camber sands monday morning, alarmingly soon after the break of dawn, in fact. THE DETAILS each person pays just £10 for a roundtrip journey. I've paid the fee in advance like the nice man asked, so you can pay me on the bus. paying half for a one-way journey is sadly not an option, but when you board the bus I'll give you a handcrafted numbered ticket of some sort made with love by yours truly. so if you can't come back on monday morning with everyone else, you can sell or give away your bus ticket to a fellow camber sandser in need. for example, if vic godard was to fall completely under my spell over the weekend my monday travel plans might very well need some amending, and I would then sell my bus ticket to his current (I mean ex!) beau. just an example, you understand. the bus departs friday april 23 at noon from victoria station which can be found on yep, the victoria line. exit victoria so that you're facing the bus terminal, hang a right onto wilton, walk two or three steps and behold the appollo victoria theatre. our bus should be waiting out front. the bus returns from camber sands monday april 26, departing at the ungodly hour of 10am sharp. whispering, hair of the dog, and cuke slices on the eyes will be welcomed but not enforced. the bus holds 73, but there's only going to be sign-up room for 68 as i figure we'll need that long 5-seater space in the back lower level for both kinds of suitcases: beer and (light!) luggage transport. e-mail me at pamelab(a)mcmail.com to reserve a space! the bus man now has all my money plus statutory rights to my liver (guess who's getting the short end of that stick) so please only reserve if you're sure you can make it, I'm too broke to eat the cost of no-shows! cheers, pam +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
