Sinister:Bunch of Loopers
by headrush city 07 Mar '99

07 Mar '99

Hello people. Enjoying your Sunday? I feel cheated if I don't get a lazy Sunday cos they are, after all, meant for doing all the nothing you didn't have time to do during the week. Looper are in last week's NME, in the On section for new bands. Some extracts for your delectation: ~~*~"The songs come from things that have happened to us, from watching Colombo, things we do during the day," says Stuart. "It's playful, like constructing things out of cardboard boxes when you're young." Given Stuart's other band conducts itself like a covert organisation, it's caused some amazement that Looper is an open house. It talks. He smiles. "I did most of the Belle & Sebastian interviews at the start, quite a lot with Stuart (M) as well before it all got crazy and out of hand. Stuart doesn't do interviews because..." he thinks carefully. "Because he chooses not to. Then everyone else in the band stopped because it's hard to answer a lot of these questions if you don't know where the songs come from." How do Belle & Sebastian feel about Looper? "Everyone was doing other stuff first," says Stuart. "They always come when we do shows and stuff - I think they enjoy it, because they always come back." For now, it's a side-project at the centre of their lives. "I spend more time on Looper just now than I do playing bass for Belle & Sebastian," says Stuart. "And we've got a contract for two albums." Karn smiles, and turns to look at him. "And we got married," she laughs.~*~ Has anyone else ever started crying, and then it's as if there's a leak in your tear ducts, and you're like, when did I manage to store up all this sadness, where did all this come from? No? Oh well then. Love and fireworks, Natasha xx == "Here comes a soul saver on your record player" The Charlatans _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: books
by Pamela Hutchinson 07 Mar '99

07 Mar '99

Dear all I know it could get a bit boring if we all posted our favourite books to the list but as I am missing Bowlie in order to sit english literature exams, please excuse me. He might be difficult to get hold of but I really think that all B+S fans would love Henry Green novels. He's a bit of an experimental modernist blokey, writes with a blatant disregard for minor details like pronouns and articles. He also reproduces dialect with uncanny accuracy. Anyway his novels tend to be big ensemble pieces with lots of love affairs and deception and pretty birds flying about all over the shop. He's dead cinematic and he tells stories about the little people. I would recommend 'Living' which is set in a factory community in Birmingham, but 'Loving' is good and 'Party Going' is infuriating/hilarious, all about a group of people about to get on a train and an old woman with a dead pigeon. I feel I have not made them sound very glamourous. love pamela xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- xx xx ------------------------------------------------------------ x x x glampam says - 'thank-you for your time' - Look!!

Sinister: Lines of the Times No. 28
by Sleeka Sounds 07 Mar '99

07 Mar '99

You could have knocked me over with a feather this morning, when I turned the corner into Kelvinhall underground to see a huge poster with Stuart David (Belle and Sebastian) written on the bottom. Closer inspection revelead the poster was number 28 of the "Lines of the Times" series which has been going on in the Underground for a while. It basically is just a poster with some modern prose written on it by someone based in or from or lives near or was once in Glasgow. The idea is that you read it whilst waiting for the train, deflating any potential boredom that may arise whilst, educating the schemies and maybe inspiring them to rise above going round Partick pubs selling stolen gammon steaks and watches. This one had the words to "Impossible Things". Which are nice words. I think it would make a lovely poster for anyone to have on their wall. I'm not sure who you would contact to get one though... Also, imagine my surprise to arrive home the other day to hear, from my mother of all people, that Belle and Sebastian had been on Radio Scotland playing tunes from they're new album and being interviewed. I felt quite sick to have missed this. Describe a song I said, she said it "had talking in it". "Ahh", I said, "was it Stuart David of Belle and Sebastian playing songs from the new looper album, mother?". "No", she said, "it was Belle and Sebastian", and she started getting angry with me because she had heard it and I hadn't, and I was saying she was wrong. Then I started getting angry with her because she had heard it and I hadn't and I knew I was right. grr. Perhaps another mailing list, a Belle and Sebastian Scottish Media News Mailing List is required. Hmm. Finally, my gig on March the 8th doesn't look like it's on, if anyone was interested. I'm relieved to tell the truth, the Strathclyde Union is maybe a bit too tough for me.

some of my favorites have been the neverending story by michael ende, sleeping in flame by jonathan carroll, elena of the stars by c.p. rosenthal and neil gaiman's smoke and mirrors. spelling of the authors names and the titles should be pretty close. if anyone has any other books by c.p. rosenthal (i think they all have 'loops' in the name....loops end loops progress etc.) i want 'em. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Yes, indeed Happy Birthday Dave, and I am sorry to inform the list that it seems as though we've forgotten Roger Daltrey's birthday! I'm behind on reading posts, so if someone did in fact mention it, I am at fault. Twas last week, either the 1st or 2nd or the 3rd of March. He was 55.

Sinister: amateurs
by mkl206＠is8.nyu.edu 06 Mar '99

06 Mar '99

i just got back from a screening of amateur, the 1994 hal hartley film. if we're talking about cartoons for the billionth time (mind you, i watched the b&s cartoon as a child and loved it, and know nobody did it on purpose, but this is at least the third time it's been a thread) then we can mention hal hartley. it's so beautiful. i wanted to cry at the end, but i was too sad. i ended up walking home in a daze, which was partially aided by the fact that one of my contacts had fallen out earlier so one eye was blurred anyway. so basically, my advice is to see this movie. kind of the film equivalent to belle and sebastian songs, in my opinion. his latest film was shot on digital video for french tv and is called the book of life. p.j. harvey plays mary magdalene and yo la tengo play something too. not sure what. and how can you resist a film with roles like mormon thug #1? i haven' tseen it yet though, there was a screening on tuesday but it was all sold out so i cried a lot, oh wait, no i didn't. i just sat home and watched felicity. m'i bad. anyway, i also found out some belle and sebastian related information, more related then my other tenuous connections anyway. acid house, the film which featured b&s on the soundtrack, will be premiering in new york on march 10 at the anthology film archive. it's opening night of the ny underground film festival, so it will probably sell out. all right, that's pretty much all i know. not much going on in the music front that i know of these days, all the cool stuff seems to be happening in the uk, which is sadly distant from me. but oh well, i have my movies to escape into (and it's hard to feel too sorry for yourself when you live in the city ;). xoxo megan mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu visit the NEWLY UPDATEDmagnetic fields web page at: http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
