HHhhmmm Now I'm happy and warm all the way down to my toes. Today when I came home and saw that I had Sinister mails again I realised how much it means for me. I think I maybee like sinister more than I like Belle and sebastian music so I'm going to make me a sinister t-shirt. I allready have one Belle and sebastian. My mother is studying English so I made a B&S tape for her. I think good mother starting music is: Belle and Sebastian Me and the Major Expectations The fox in the snow A century of Elvis (!!!!!!! Yes it is good!!) Now my mother wanted the most typical Belle and Sebastian song to play for her english group on a lesson. Which is the most typical Belle and Sebastian song?? I had no reason to play with the computor every day last week and now my best friend, who is in Brighton, have mailed me asking if I'm ill because she havn't heard frome me in some days now so I shall write to her now and explain why.

Sinister: Rock'n'Roll Part 2
by Kevan Cooke 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

So here it is, the all new Sinister list stomping up and down in spangly pants like an even less respectable version of Gary Glitter and singing "Hello Hello It's Good to be Back." And did we miss you? Yeah! But wait, what's this? The Jeepster belleandsebastian discussion list? Where did that come from, and more importantly, WHY? When Mick and friends set up a separate mailing list for discussing unreleased recordings of Bob Wratten farting no one really minded, and when Brad set up a list for people to be scary and swear at each other that was OK too... But when someone who has been on the list since it first started sets up a new mailing list for the discussion of Belle and Sebastian it is hard to see how that can be anything other than a bad bad thing for Sinister, and a slap in the face for all the people on Sinister who voted for Belle and Sebastian in the Brits. "Thanks for voting, now fuck off" is the message that I'm getting. I'm sure all will be explained in due course, it's just a bit puzzling at the moment. Almost as puzzling was Chris Leonard's performance at the Poetry Cafe on friday. It was as if some bloke you are used to seeing lurching around the town centre shouting random obscenities at passers by suddenly produced a guitar and turned out to be a fucking genius. I'm not saying that Chris usually lurches around town centres shouting random obscenities at passers by, but then I wouldn't like to say that he doesn't either.

Sinister: No Sex Please, We're Brits Winners!
by PJMiller 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

Dear fellow garden gnomes, It's splendid to be back, trampling the flower beds and burning ants with a magnifying glass, just like the good old days. To be honest, I think of Sinister as more of a park than a garden, complete with rather unappealing public conveniences. Consolidated Fanbase? That sounds to me like the kind of thing Norman Wisdom and Mister Grimsdale used to pit their wits against. Honey, has anyone been smashing your milk bottles? I suggest you dress up as a vicar and pay a visit to the golf course. Thank you Christopher for your kind words. I'm sure Sleeka Sounds is a fantastic pop group. In answer to your question, the only autobiographical part comes in chapter six, "Reptilian Bumhole", when Detective D. Dinkle is invited to a chimps' tea party at the zoo. I don't want to give too much of the plot away, but it turns out to be a typically mischievious bit of monkey business - the chimpanzees hold Detective D. Dinkle down while a horrible hairy orangutan fists him up the bum and an elephant simultaneously wanks him off with his elephant's trunk. Is that the kind of thing that won't be tolerated on the Jeepster unmoderated discussion list? What about if I change "horrible hairy orangutan" to "horrible hairy Murdoch" and "an elephant" to "Richard the drummer"? Seeing as Brad seems determined to ignore the constant squawking of the poetry parrot,, I thought I'd take the liberty of drawing the list's attention to a little-known story by Edgar Allan Poe - "The Brit of the Perverse". It is remarkably insightful for 1842: "One day, while sauntering listlessly about the streets, I arrested myself in the act of murmering, half aloud, these customary syllables. In a fit of petulance at my indiscretion, I remodeled them thus:- "I am safe - I am safe - yes, if I do not prove fool enough to make open confession." .....jumping ahead a bit.... "I turned - I gasped for breath. For a moment I experienced all the pangs of suffocation - I became blind, and deaf, and giddy - and at this instant it was no mortal hand, I knew, that struck me violently with a broad and massive palm upon the back. At that blow the long imprisoned secret burst forth from my soul. They say that I spoke with distinct enunciation, but with emphasis and passionate hurry, as if in dread of interruption before concluding the brief but pregnant sentences that consigned me to Dr. Peter Waterman, Her Majesty's Popologist, and to Hell." Next week, another visionary classic by Poe - "The Tell -Tale Brit", in which a mysterious trophy repeatedly bellows "Behave!" in a northern accent, despite Mad Dog Murdoch having put it in his socks and pants drawer, and "The Brit Cat", with its terrifyingly timeless ending, " I had walled the trophy up within the tomb!"

Sinister: and I want you for all time
by pamela berry 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

hi everyone, in giving friday night's poetry cafe social scoop, I think our roving reporters may have neglected to mention the end of chris' absolutely ace set, when timothy e. hopkins ("e" for emmylou, not everyone knows that) joined mr. leonard for a knee-buckling rendition of streets of baltimore, with beauteous harmonies and all. yowza. that was just before steady mike o. jones ("o" for oh-go-ahead-twist-my-arm-I'll-sing-it-too) called out a request for wichita lineman, then as if by magic was suddenly up there crooning with chris and timmylou. great, great stuff. I remember tim and mike both saying they'd be extremely pleased if I mentioned it. or was that displeased? oh I do tend to forget the smaller details when I'm a bit schwacked on pricey poetry cafe beer. lesley jo, you should really get your hands on as much free design stuff as you can (roundabout mail order in dc carries both siesta releases on cd or double ten-inch vinyl, mmm). they have a catalog of the wackest covers ever, their originals are always a bit bizarre in the best of ways, they sing about ouija boards, friendly men, jesus and bubblegum with plenty of gusto, and they have that spine-tingling family members singing together thing going for them, just like the everly brothers did. just like nelson didn't. say what you want about that nick drake documentary, but it was well worth it to me to hear that old recording of nick's mom singing, she sounded just like a female nick drake. spooky. I wonder if they ever sang together standing around in the kitchen cooking dinner, passing the time. for someone who rarely posts but was inspired by the great sinister comeback to do so, I've rambled on quite long enough. I'm raising a glass to honey even as I type this for all the work involved, it's good to be lurking among friends again! pam +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

FW: Sinister: Back in the groove again
by Neil Dewhurst 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

Ooh, its just like the war innit? Everyone gettin' together in a crisis. Now we're back on our feet again we can rebuild our brave new sinister world. And as I surface from my own Anderson shelter, and smell the air, regarding the rubble left by the fallout from the Brit Wars, the air somehow seems even sweeter than it did before. Pete the waterman is vanquished, and Steps - who ought to have won because they've sold lots of records, and because Lee from the band has never heard of his conquerors, and even though the Waterman thought that it was great that someone so "left" (ironic choice of words, Pete) could win the award - have been defeated, and will have to content themselves with having two out of the top ten requests on The Box (more commonly known as The Worst Music Channel in The World Ever(tm) (and that includes Country Music Television.) As an aside, does anyone out there agree with my girlfriend that Dirty Dream sounds kind of like a speeded up Like Dylan in The Movies? No? OK then. Regards to all, especially that Honey person.

Sinister: Grant Control To Major Dom!
by David Moore 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

Hi Hunny Bunnies, I love Belle & Sebastian because they make beautiful music I love Jeepster because they bring us beautiful music I love Sinister because its a beautiful garden I love Honey because he tends the garden One of the hardest things in the world to bear is when two people you love each vie for your loyalty. Is that what's going on here? If so, then I don't want to be put in that position. I know that Jeepster's press release in the wake of Mr Waterman's Brits protests said that they embrace the internet, but is there a, erm, sinister, motive in them wanting to run a B&S mailing list under their aegis? We've just borne witness to the power such a grouping of fans can wield. I also feel for Honey, for whom the introduction of a rival list must feel just the tiniest slap in the face, after the undoubted contribution that the Sinister he has nurtured has made such a positive contribution to the band's and the label's fortunes. Don't get me wrong - I meant what I said in the beginning. Which is why I've run up mega phone bills at work and at home today trying to get tickets for the Looper gig that none of the ticket agencies have heard of yet, and which is why I fell gleefully on a promo copy of their (Looper's) album last week and haven't stopped playing it yet, because I think that Burning Flies & Ray Suzuki & Columbo's Car are brilliant (& all you kite-flying lovers get a look in too!), and I can't stand the waiting for the opportunity to see the rare magic of another B&S performance at Camber Sands in a few weeks time. (And I just ran out of breath!) I just don't want to have to make a choice :) David Moore Chelmsford, UK +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: And I doth choose...

My five that would be just dandy in the converting process-- in no order whatsoever-- 1. Belle and Sebastian 2. Me and the Major (yes, you read correctly) 3. Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying 4. Slow Graffitti (did I spell that right?) 5. The Boy With the Arab Strap runners up include--Seeing Other People, DD #2, and of course, the illustrious Simple Things. I am tired, off to a nap. I will dream of a photograph of myself... blake ~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ "Sometimes I feel I gotta get away. Bells chime, I know I gotta get away. And I know if I don't I'll go out of my mind.

Sinister: loooooper in-store (friendly reminder)
by Steve Genge 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

Just a quick mention about the upcoming Looper in-store at Borders Books and Music, Brighton. the details: Sunday March 7 2pm Borders, Churchill Square Shopping Centre, Brighton for info, call (01273) 731122 there were 50 or so free 'tickets' made available, and these have all since gone. these tickets do NOT (as I had said in a previous post) guarantee a seat or anything, they just give our events coordinator an idea of how many people to expect. So ticket or no, If you want a seat or good view of anything, get there *early*. Generally, people tend to assemble for events anywhere from half an hour to an hour beforehand. (Borders opens at 11am on Sunday.) I will be there. Trying very hard not to address Karn as 'Woofkie.' And if there's any change in the ticket policy, I'll post about it as soon as I find out. up a tree, Amanda x x swanarama(a)hotmail.com "Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows."
