Sinister: A newbie speaks
by stephen hewitt 05 Mar '99

Hello everyone, what a lovely bunch you are. I'm really quite jealous with all this talk of Camber Sands. I'm getting married the weekend after, so I think I might be quite busy. I'm writing this at work, which where I receive all these e-mails and it breaks up the day with little snippets of fluffiness (and it means I walk round whistling/humming B&S songs all day). Caleb said >I interviewed Jake and Dan from My Life Story last Saturday which was good, >although I had to sign an agreement that I would not publish or tell anyone >anything about it until April 21st. Apparantly they're worried about the >NME getting hold of news of the internet. I can see their point, but really >this is My Life Story...I think they'll be lucky if the NME print anything >non-derogatory about them...ever. I will say that they are signed to IT >records, a lable funded by Andrew Lloyd Webber after being dropped by >Paralophone whom they owed bout 500,000 pounds to, and they have >changed >direction a bit...(these aren't new facts, but they were clarified during >the interview). Hurrah for MLS, I can't stand secrets, I guess I'm just a v nosey person. On the rare occasions MLS are played at my local indie disco I'm drawn back to Friday morning @ glasto last year, a definate highlight as it was before the downpour!! *sigh* Anyway, enough of this wallowing, I really must go and do some work. love and hugs CarsmileSteve ---------------------------------------------- carsmilesteve(a)geocities.com visit our website http://fast.to/carsmile 'So tell me what have you got?

Sinister: Can I Have A P Please Bob
by Warrander John - FML 05 Mar '99

05 Mar '99

Hello my little furry friends, I'm about to fulfill one of my lifelong ambitions this weekend cos I'm off to Madrid to see the mighty REAL at the Santiago Bernabeu. Amazingly enough I managed to persuade my missus that this would be the ideal weekend break. Can anyone advise me on some handy Spanish insults to shout while I'm there? Preferable anything that casts doubts on the morality of the Zaragoza players' mothers. Has everybody read the Camber "tips" page on the Jeepster site? I strongly suggest you do, especially if you're under seven or a bit retarded cos then you might not feel quite so patronised. You have to have three changes of clothes to get in apparently. And poor personal hygiene will not be tolerated. It doesn't say if they have that blue chemical dye stuff though, the stuff you can put in pools to catch dirty dogs who think a sly pee won't harm anyone. That's a worry. If I remember I might post the sleeve notes to Girlfish some time soon. In case anyone is unaware what Girlfish is, it's like one of those videos of a relaxing country landscape or a real log fire with gentle soothing music which you stick on when you're feeling a bit stressed and it just melts the tension away. This video has lots of nudie chicks swimming about in "Atlantis" (well, a swimming pool with the Stone Henge props from Spinal Tap dumped in it) and it's a great leap forward in intellectual relaxation. If lumpy hairy things are more your thing, then there's a Boyfish video too apparently. And Chris Mellan, I'd watch yourself if that Anne Ward's got her eye on you. She sat fifteen subjects in standard grade once and got straight 1s in all of them. I'm sure I spotted Anne in the X-Rated Jerry Springer episode "I Refuse To Wear Clothes", but I could have been mistaken. Oh, and someone said something really horrible: >I so hope i have a dream tonight in which Isobel is a window >cleaner, and she is wearing a skirt, and im under the ladder !! This left me quite speechless. I just hope that if your dream does come true Isobel falls off the ladder and crushes you under her big bottom. A fond farewell, Love...John +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: New England
by L. Kerr 05 Mar '99

Dearly beloved, We did indeed go and see Billy Bragg, and he is so good in concert, in spite of the tossers in the audience, one of whom shouted "all politics is bollocks", not the most intelligent thing to say at a Billy Bragg concert, especially after paying to get in. Perhaps he was on the guest list. He was selling "Official Bootlegs" again - live recordings of that concert (or a previous one in the tour). Whay are they bootlegs if he is selling them? Is he by-passing the record company, or is it just a word to describe a style of recording. Anne Ward said Mr CrystalBalls said: >>And does anyone want to meet up in glasgow soon - possibly for the >>looper >>gig? >Yes, that would be lovely. It would be very helpful if you could wear >your school uniform so the other listees can recognise you. Just as well >you're not a girl, or people might think you were Dizzabel. Better wear >some short trousers anyway, just to make sure. I'll be one of the old >women ogling at the back. In case you make it to the Edinburgh gig, I will be one of the even older women at the back, clutching my exam certificates. Maybe we can compare :). Chris, your mother was probably just trying to annoy you. Mothers do that. They say, "Were you watching BBC2 last night" and then go on to tell you in detail about the programme you have waited all your life to watch, but miss out the crucial elements, as they had to unload the dishwasher when that bit was on. Then they say, "I was going to phone you, but I thought you'd probably know it was on" (implying that you are a sad obsessive). Was it on "Mr Anderson's Fine Tunes" - an excellent mid-afternoon programme. Nice to see chirpy cockney member of the intelligensia Tim P!o!pkins back. Now we'll see some fun! I've been flamed in public! Sweet mother of Jesus, I belong.

Sinister: Brian "Mick" Pennington: Field Mice Obsessive, Cartoon Compulsive
by Mick McMick * Sandcastle Records 05 Mar '99

05 Mar '99

Greetings... I heard the most disturbing thing earlier this evening. I was stopped at an e-mail terminal to see if I'd gotten anything particularly interesting, and there was a tape deck playing. The song playing sounded somehow familiar, only the singer sounded like Marilyn Manson, and I don't believe I know any song they've done other than that Eurhythmics cover. I realized, then, that it was New Order's "Blue Monday," only they replaced the synths with awful teen angstariffic guitars, and that singer, be he Marilyn Manson or be he someone else. I hope it's not him that did the cover, that's just plain wrong. Jordi (who is not a bebe) asked: > Finally, does anyone know a website where you can find the Field > Mice?s lyrics ? Hm, let me check something first...yes, memory served me well. There is only (to my knowledge) one Field Mice page up on the net. And it is certainly comprehensive enough to do without any more. It's also been revampd into a lovely tasteful scrummy resource for all your Field Mice needs. The page of which I speak is <http://www.maths.monash.edu.au/~rjh/fm/>, and it is run by Andy Dean, who is on the list I think. He used to do a B&S page too, long long ago. Anyhow, the website used to have lyrics, but apparently he was politely asked to remove them. Luckily there was advance warning of this, and so I greedily snatched all of the lyrics up onto my clipboard and electronically pasted them onto a Word file, which I have saved. So Jordi, if you would like it, please e-mail me and I'll send it your way. There was, for a time, another site, but I think all it even consisted of was an interview with Robert Wratten, or actually I think there were two interviews with him. Anyway, it's been gone quite some time now. Also, Jordi, I have a collection of Robert Wratten farting into a microphone, at several different pitches, so let me know if you'll want those too, they're a hot commodity on Sha-La-La. Even more than my tapes of Stuart Murdoch clearing his throat in the morning. My favorite is the one where he coughs a couple times. Dan Cohen says: > Yes. It was along the same lines as David the Gnome and The Little > Prince...loads of blatant anthropomorphism and odd overseas > animation...these were the "glory days" of nickelodeon, from maybe > 1986-1988...long before commercialization and Nickelodeon rap albums > and low-budget Hollywood movies. Ahh, cartoons, one of my many loves. I too watched B&S the cartoon, though I didn't think it necessary to pipe in only to mention that fact. However, the mention of the "glory days" of Nickelodeon inspired me. Anyway, I'm not so sure that David the Gnome wasn't American, and it certainly came much later than Belle & Sebastian, as well as other favorites of Nickelodeon's heyday, such as the Little Prince, the Lost Cities of Gold, and (my personal fave) Sparticus (not about Romans at all). I think all these old movie channels and Nick at Nite and whatnot are all crap, and they should have a network that just shows old cartoons. I know what you're thinking! "You dummy, there's already Cartoon Network," but when I say old cartoons, I mean good old cartoons, not the Flinstones or Loony Tunes or anything owned by Ted Turner (except Space Ghost, it can stay). There is a wealth of old cartoons that some of us haven't seen 8 million times, and I think it's a shame that there's no way to see them. But then again, I'm weird. But, I cannot leave before making a stab at defending Nickelodeon. They may have sold out, or maybe we just got old. They still have some good stuff though, just try Rocko's Modern Life, and they're always showing old Peanuts TV shows when I'm eating breakfast. Hm, and while I'm on a creative binge, I think one of us ought to join the Jeepster list and spy on them. They can provide weekly updates, sort of like "America's Funniest Home Videos," only it would be e-mails, and not toddlers whacking their dads in the mahoneys with golf clubs ("accidentally"). Oh, and most importantly, it would in no way involve Bob Saget (I hope). /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick/Sandcastle Records <<->> bp224996(a)ohiou.edu \ / Sandcastle Records Homepage: ICQ#5056758 | | http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/4972/ | | "I am always wishing to make people | | in the world happy with my smiles." | | -Mr. Friendly +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

In a message dated 3/4/99 10:27:04 PM Eastern Standard Time, katfood(a)telepath.com writes: << 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 >> HOLY EXPLETIVE!! THAT was belle and sebastian? I never could remember the name! it was anime-esque artwork and reminded me of the Little Prince!

In other, more disturbing news: Dave's Mom update: Mom would enjoy her tape more if she was not temporarily handicapped. an explanation? well ok. This, unlike other tales involving a mother, is not a parable. it is sheer fact. My mother fell down the stairs the other day while carrying two dishes full of food. Glass serving dishes. the glass broke and she landed in it. Her hands are all cut up, and so's the back of her legs. And the worst part is she sheared off an artery inside her leg from the force of the fall. So there was some internal bleeding. The emergency room said that as long as she didn't strain herself, she'd be ok. So. I now ask you to offer up prayers. Or goats, whatever. She's in a lot of pain and of course can't drive or go anywhere much. so she'll be in the house a lot and may get a mild case of cabin fever. BUT she will have more time to enjoy her lovely tape. and when she gets to feeling better I'll have her write to you marvelous people love dave +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Speaking plainly and Gentle Waves Tour
by Honey 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

News from Jeepster of The Gentle Waves UK tour below. In case anyone doesn't know, The Gentle Waves is Isobel's project, with various members of B&S sprinkled around and seasoned to taste. Also - for anyone using dreaded Microsoft mailers like Outlook, and possibly Netscape users who post to the list: these programs often cause problems especially for digest readers who end up with sore tummies because of all the rubbish these mailers add in to mails if you don't take a look at your settings. The software I'm using will block all such mails to try and keep things sane, so please take a look at a new page I've included on the site at: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/plaintext.html if you're using these programs. It's all terribly boring I'm afraid, but like cutting your toenails, a necessity of life if you don't want people slinking away from you at bus stops. Finally, all the people who were in the nursery ~before~ the list moved are now out of it and can post. I couldn't be bothered reprogramming it - shoddy workman I know. For new subscribers the normal stuff applies. sweet dreams, honey xxx ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Katrina House <a-and-r(a)jeepster.co.uk> To: news(a)jeepster.co.uk Subject: jeepsternews: THE GENTLE WAVES Tour - April 1999 Hi all, here's the tour dates: The Gentle Waves Live plus two short films Friday 2nd April - Leeds City Varieties Theatre, Swan Street, Leeds, LS1 Tickets cost �8.00 each and are available from Way Ahead on 0113 242 0808 or 0115 912 9000 Saturday 3rd April - Cardiff The Coal Exchange, The Exchange Buildings, Mount Street Square, Cardiff Tickets cost �7.00 each and are available from the venue on 01222 330 220 or 01222 230 130 Sunday 4th April - London The Improv Theatre, 161 Tottenham Court Road, London, W1 Tickets cost �8.00 each and are available from the venue on 0171 387 2814 and from Ticketweb on 0171 771 2000 and http://www.ticketweb.co.uk Saturday 10th April - Glasgow The Mitchell Theatre, Exchange House, 229 George Street, Glasgow, G1 Tickets cost �7.00 each and are available from the venue on 0141 287 5511 The Ticketweb tickets are on sale now, however all other outlets will go on sale Monday 8th March.
