Sinister: My most sincere apologies
by M223CMellan 05 Mar '99

05 Mar '99

Hello. I spent all night in church yesterday, praying for forgiveness, for my behaviour on the list. I now realise that it was unacceptable. I didn't know what :) was - sorry. Also, sorry honey man/lady for asking answers to be mailed to the list. This was stupid of me - I just didn't think. Incidentally - these are the results which I have recieved to date (the listees were kind enough to respond to my address, and ignore my foolish mistake) - Oldest - 57 - a listees dad - can't remember who. Youngest - 16 - me. Mean age - 26 Also - Laura Kerr - to you I appologise the most - it was immature of me to mail the list, and I didn't realise that you were simply joking with me. The only defence which I can offer for my actions is the stress of exams, and teenage angst, and simply not being right in the brain (I'm insane, in the brain). I shall now only mail once a day, max. cheerio, cheerio, see ya soon.

Sinister: belle and sebastian the cartoon
by kathrine browne 05 Mar '99

05 Mar '99

>>i know that the name comes from a book that was made into a tv series >but >> i'm sure that i saw a cartoon version of it when i was a little kid, >did >> anyone else see it or am i being delusional? in america, the show was on nickelodeon and involved sebastian the boy and the dog belle. belle was a big white fluffy dog and everyone thought he was dangerous and were always trying to kill him. of course, sebastian knew better and they were best friends. sebastian was trying to get home to his father because for some reason he had been separated from him. the boy and the dog were very good at hopping on trains and thats how they traveled most of the time. so belle protected him and saved his life at least once each episode. he was also very good at saving other children's lives. anyways......thats what i remember of it. kathrine +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: glasgow, 6:15 am, wednesday morning (and beyond)
by Ciflux＠aol.com 05 Mar '99

05 Mar '99

hi all: My fiancee Callie and I are going to be in Scotland from March 24-31. We will be splitting our time between Glasgow, Edinburgh and Inverness, and we were just wondering if anything particularly cool is going on during that time. I know about the Electroscope/Famous Boyfriend/Empress show at the 13th Note on the 27th; anything else? And more importantly, how would two newlyweds kill time in Glasgow at 6:30 am on a Wednesday morning? It looks like our flight will drop us off at around that time, and we're trying to figure out what to do 'til our hotel room opens up... let me know. thanks! -- Mike ciflux(a)aol.com ps Self-promo time: I occasionally publish a fanzine called _Caught In Flux_, and I've just published a new issue.

Sinister: Belle and Sebastian for english education
by Katarina Karlsson 05 Mar '99

05 Mar '99

My mother played TheFox in the snow at a English lesson today. I gave her sinister and told her that number 6 get me away frome here I'mdying was an easy text but she misunderstod or something and played number 5. It's nothing wromng with that, the fox is very special. The trouble is that it was one line that was hard for them to translate. I know it was a lot of Fox translations on this list some months ago but the archives doesn't work and I dont know if anyone explained this line, it is: ".....Before you hang a right..." Is it some English phrase or is it something the song writer thought sounded good? Does anyone no what it mean or have some good guess? Please help me, my mother promissed her english teacher an explenation and now she has tossed the problem over to me. But there was another fun thing that hapened when she played the fox inthe snow in the classroom. Another english teatcher came in to the room and she liked the music and thought it wasa good training english music so she wanted tohave it to play on her lessons! I think this is a fantastic new way of using their music. Maybee they should start making english education tapes of that sort that they always have in schools: "Hallo listeners, my name is Stuart, today we are going to sing aboute foxes, sing after me please....." Why didn't I get Belle and Sebastian education when on my english lessons. Then I maybee would have learnd something. It is nice to sit down with friends listening to Mrs Murdoch when she tells us stories with moral in. I thing that one importent thing inthe story is the responsibility of everyone that payed the kingfisher dirty money and then agreed to pay himmore money every time. In one way they made the kingfisher and helped the destruktive part of this story. And that was very tragic for everyone even the kingfisher because I think he also just loved to see Hamish jump over the obstacle. I want to belive that Jeepster tryed to do something pretty and good for us when they started the new list. But I can't think of some good resons for one more list. If they wanted tobe nice to us I think they should write and explain their great plan now when sinister is feeling a bit offended. Karolyne and Annie youre dreams are wonderfull I allway like dreams.Maybee that iswhy I'm a bit lazy. The first Belle and Sebastian dream is always something special, I can still remember mine.It is also always nice to read other persons dreams. Sweet dreams to everyone and an apple cake frome me to Mrs Murdoch Katta +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Just a small note
by Alasdair Cook MS1996 05 Mar '99

05 Mar '99

Something I forgot to mention in my last post to the list. Shame on you if you missed the last in the series of the Mark Thomas Comedy Product (unless you live outside the UK, of course), as it contained one of the truly great television moments when Mark asked William Hague to give him one reason why anyone should bother to satirise the Conservative Party. Can anyone think of a reason, by the way? Sorry if this is too political and not musical enough. I just bought last year's Mojave 3 album and it's fantastic. There, that's redressed the balance. This has been a rather pointless mail, hasn't it? Sorry.

Sinister:happy happy it's the weekend
by headrush city 05 Mar '99

05 Mar '99

The other day I was in the car with two friends and TBWTAS came round on one of my car tapes. (I've just thought of that again and imagined a tiny boy avec arab strap sky surfing around the car with a tape as a surfboard. An over-active imagination can get you into into all sorts of trouble y'know.) Back in reality, my friends actually *laughed* at B&S. My first reaction was surprise, then I felt insulted, then the conversion had to be attempted. I suppose getting "hard rock" fans to admit B&S are "alright" is enough of a result, considering. When you're so into the band you don't expect that kind of reaction. Fellow Scots Travis' "Writing to Reach You" has such an utterly beautiful melody for a chorus that it almost warrants the coveted "Belle and Sebastian-esque" accolade. Okay, you can go now. xx Natasha xx _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: Jeepster
by Honey 05 Mar '99

05 Mar '99

Katarina Karlsson wrote concerning Jeepster: > If they wanted to be nice to us I think they should write and > explain their great plan now when sinister is feeling a bit > offended. Jeepster have sent me a detailed reply to the points that have been made on this list about them setting up their own discussion list, and it's only fair for me to say that I've been holding it up because of concern for how some minor things they say publically in their response might cause problems for individuals on this list elsewhere, and might threaten my own ability to keep Sinister going. I'm being extra cautious, and I just want to say that the delay is mine, not theirs - I'm waiting for a second response from them now, and I can assure you all that I want them to have their say, and none of the things I've commented on to them affect what they're trying to say in my opinion. Which doesn't mean I agree with it :) But let's be clear, because individuals within Jeepster might feel a bit beleagured and that's not nice for anyone: all my comments are in reference to Jeepster as an organisation and not individuals, and the decisions they make as a business, and the standard list rules continue to apply. It seems to me entirely fair that people on this list can comment about how an organisation that affects their own lives operates. But if anyone has a go at individuals on this list in an offensive way, it's flaming, and I'll jump on them with my big plastic sword. This applies equally to anyone who has a go at individuals within Jeepster as long as they remain list member, so play fair folks. And for the record, I don't *think* any of the mails so far have been flames, but simply responses to the appearance of the Jeepster discussion list which took us all by surprise. A few have been a little close to the line though, so watch out! Finally I close with the wise and relevant words of Graham Linehan, who wrote Father Ted's left half, in yesterday's Guardian. In response to the question: "Does the Internet threaten or enhance individual freedom?" he answers: "There is certainly a lot more pornography available, so more people are feeling it's OK to sit in front of a computer in the nude. That's a kind of freedom." honey xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Looper
by Katrina House 05 Mar '99

05 Mar '99

> 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 it was looper on "the usual suspects" on wednesday at lunchtime, and repeated on wednesday night. cheers, katrina. -- ************************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - mailto:a-and-r@jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, uk phone - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
