Sinister: apologies all around
by Christa Chaffinch 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

Hello its me. I'm so glad we're all back togoether again. Last week was bad for me, mostly because I didn't have your lovely voices coming in and interrupting my workaday life. I am glad we are all united once more. thanks to you-know-who. :) well, i am apologizing for the Kite Confusion of 1999. I sent that song to Lesley on the tape I made her because I knew she wan't on the Sinister Tape Tree and I also knew she would love that song. (And I was right eh?) Anyway, I didn't know she would go about singing my praises for it (heehee) but I have to give credit to JULIE SMITH who sent the tape to the tree with the song "I like kites" on it. Its a truly wonderful song that everyone should have in their collections. And I feel quite embarrassed that I didn't tell Lesley originally where it had come from. So so so sorrrry. My job is sending me to New Orleans for 9 days all-expenses paid. On the surface that sounds like a great deal, but all of the people I work with are old-timey and DULL. I think I am going to be quite bored with nothing to do and no one to talk to the whole time I am away. :( I am preparing AS WE SPEAK for the trip to Camber Sands. Plane and train fare, passports, etc. It is all very exciting, I am just very happy. I think I will have to quit my job to continue preparing. I need to focus all of my attention on that and that alone. Have a nice Monday everyone, -Christa ~*~ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: And Honey, I've missed you, and I'm being good...*
by Jeanette 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

Thank you for getting us back up and running, Honey! You *are* the Sinister list, and many, many of your loyal subjects appreciate your tireless efforts to keep our delicate world from crumbling! Damon brought up the Academy Awards.... I can^Òt think of any reason to watch the Oscars this year. I^Òm still angry that the Academy didn^Òt bother to give ^ÓHappiness^Ô a nod in any category!! I^Òm afraid the entire evening will be devoted to praising ^ÓSaving Private Ryan.^Ô My only hope is that ^ÓShakespeare in Love^Ô will at least take a little wind out of Spielberg^Òs sails. There are only two categories with nominees I^Òll really be pulling for: Best Actor (Ian McKellen) and Supporting Actress (Lynn Redgrave). Both did superb jobs in ^ÓGods and Monsters^Ô. I^Òd give the Best Actress award to Emily Watson, even though I haven^Òt seen ^ÓHillary and Jackie.^Ô She was so good in ^ÓBreaking the Waves^Ô a few years ago... and she^Òs supposed to play Angela in ^ÓAngela^Òs Ashes^Ô (anybody know when that^Òs gonna hit theaters?) And give Roberto Benigni the director^Òs award, cuz his name is so much fun to say!! Jeanette * If any of you remember this song, I^Òm really, really sorry... I^Òm sure it^Òll be stuck in your heads now! (Will Bobby Goldsborough get me banned from the list?!?) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Man about the house with Paula Wilcox
by T.Lilja＠biosci.salford.ac.uk 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

Hi Everybody! I guess I'm a bit of a lurker on this list and normally just read your witty comments. However, I wanted to ask if any of you know something going on in Edinburgh or Glasgow during the easter break (march 27- april 18) cause I've decided to take a trip there from my Manchester basecamp and I still haven't decided exactly when to go. So if you could help a Swedish lad who wants to see the sights of Scotland please mail me. Belle and Sebastian content! I just got dog on Wheels and Lazy line painer Jane the other day (yes it's incredibly late but it's my loss so don't tease me) and i cant belive how diffrent some of the songs sound from the "normal" Belle and Sebastian song. Ooh, and man about the house is such a boring program.

Sinister: Mister Billington Fox
by Sleeka Sounds 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

Ahoy there Mateys! Firstly I must say some words of thanks. Thanks to little Stevie Trousers for letting me play the caff on Friday, thanks to Pam and Mike for having and feeding us, thanks to Sezah and Sussanah for being super and thanks to all those who came to the caff for being lovely and clapping and stuff. You're all brilliant and I want to take you home to show my mum. Enough about me, lets talk about you....People who sit next to me will plainly see I'm excited by the rebirth of Sinister. It's like an old friend hugging and kissing me, I'm saying get off but what I mean is I want you. I heard a rumour it's all double beds at this Camber Sands thing. Intruiged? Worried? If I was Keith Watson I would be. Christ knows what I get up to whilst asleep, but I usually wake up naked and tired. Anyway Keith, what do you think you're doing?? >This seriously escalated and we wound up having to have a bloody good >wash in the bogs. Bloody hell, man! <cough> You promised you wouldn't tell. I got a copy of the Papercuts fanzine thing, it's splendid, well done to all involved. I think it's the best fanzine in the whole world ever, and I know what I'm talking about because I've bought a fanzine twice before. I especially enjoyed Peter Millers story. Julia was pishing herself with laughter when the dog done a jobby. The line "Don't want to be implicated in the Titianix doggy-doo scandal now, do we?", nearly finished her off and she went a strange red, like Jim Robinson in Neighbours before he died.. I want to know how much is autobiographal though, Peter? I have theories. That is all, Chrispoof ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: honey looks like mr pigbag
by Sarah Jane Philp 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

wHOOp the list is back bringing joy (a reason not to work) to monday mornings Clinkkies to mr honeypaul and his work. I never said did I but mr mitchel exactly reminds me (in looks and mannerisms) of chris who used to be in the perfecto allstars and played that wee riff on pigbag before it got ripped of the other summer and was turned into a dancin tune they would always play over the football. I was wondering if anyone knew where i could get a copy of pigbag, i realise its hardly the standard fair of indie tweelets but i dont know who else to ask. The only other place i found a copy was in the antiquated jukebox in my old bham teenage haunt. Hey i wonder if Mr peel will take a tour round the midlands maybe see the sights where lawrence felt grew up. and the perfecto allstars. What delights do your suburbias have to offer? do do do da sarah* +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The Electronic Return of the Sequels
by Mick McMick * Sandcastle Records 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

Hm... Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in. If it isn't our old friend Sinister. Where have you been all night mister? You're going to get it! Just wait until your father gets home! Spoil the Rod and Spare the Child I always say...no wait...somehow that seems incorrect. Oh well, it's probably just my mind playing tricks on me. Hm, in the wake of my Dune hyseria this weekend I tried to change my quote on my sig, but I think I forgot to save it, because there's Mr. Friendly down there, still smiling and wishing. Oh well, no matter. I must admit to being somehow surprised when I checked my electronic mailbox from afar. Small pixels reported to me that I had amassed 40 electronic letters in my electronic mailbox. They were all electronically waiting for me to open them up (electronically, of course) though I had to leave a couple of them for later. I must say, there were some very interesting and noteworthy electronic letters, words, sentences and paragraphs, such as... > i've decided that "electronic renaissance" gets > PrOPs! from me -- the petshopboys-esque-ness of it is simply lovely. which was composed electronically by Marie Elia. Evidently Miss (or potentially Mrs.) Elia is a paragon of taste, as such a comment is rare and wonderful. Perhaps the very endangered nature of such comments accounts for the low showing for said brilliant song in the official electronic voting booth. Evidently not enough people are electronically casting a good vote for such a wonderful song. Well, they say that if you sleep with dogs, you'll wake up with fleas. Not that the previous statement has anything to do with Electronic Renaissance, but it is still quite true that people say it. And who can forget when Dave electronically requested that we all electronically submit 5 songs which encompass the width and breadth of the Belle and Sebastian Experience (TM). Surely, Dave, you couldn't just place 5 Electronic Renaissances, all in tandem? Five little ages of bleeping enlightenment, heightened by just a smidgen of synth. Probably not, so in the event that you wouldn't wish to, I will electronically suggest: "Seeing Other People," "(The) Boy with the Arab Strap" "Belle & Sebastian" "Expectations" (&) "Slow Graffitti" On a totally different matter, any and all who might or might not be curious as to whether or not one Robert Wratten is a fan, or alternately despises our Glaswegian heroes, can find the answer to this burning question (and many more) in the next and forthcoming issue of Movers and Shakers. Therein, the aforementioned Mr. Wratten, who has played in bands with names like the Field Mice, Trembling Blue Stars, and the Yesterday Sky, will spill the proverbial beans on his feelings about B&S, as well as beans of other subjects. A cool breeze blew across your flaxen hair as Brandt electronically proclaimed: > I think this is relevant due to the fact that Belle and Sebastian is > releasing a fourth album in four years as well as two side projects. > How much is too much? Is a new album, a re-release, an ep and two > side projects too self indulgent or just productive? Is a double > album self indulgent? My electronic reply to the aptly named Mr. Fundak is that perhaps the point at which something becomes self-indulgent is when demand for it ceases. For example, if there was a limit to the number of songs one could release, where would that leave Stereolab? Most likely in France or England, but why, then, are they able to sell so many limited edition singles and EPs and singles comps and albums and things like that? Wasn't it once Stereolab who once said "Dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby,"? I think it was. I am a fervent believer that More is Better, and that if people do not desire such a tremendous amount of material, they are not forced to buy it, whereas those of us who lick our lips at the mention of outtakes and 4-song EPs, we can just go on being happy, which is what I am going to do, until I remember that I have all sorts of work that I am putting off, and then I will stop being happy for a time, and then pick it up again sometime thereafter. I'm hoping it is similar to riding a bike. I also hope that I am better at being happy (for a time) than I am at not writing run-on sentences. In closing, I would just like to mention that this post shatters the record previously held for the post with the most instances of the words "electronic," and "electronically." /"\_/"\_/"\ 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".

Sinister: there's a lot to be done while your head is still young
by jessica 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

welcome back sinisterines, i've been busybusybusy lately, and between writing tedious biology lab reports and essays on early american history and planning a trip to england, i haven't had much time to post. and oh yes, the fact that the list disappeared for a while contributed as well. let's never speak of it again. yes, you read that correctly: yours truly will be arriving at gatwick airport on march 11, ready for two fun-filled weeks in the backwards-driving country. i'm staying with my sweetie in southsea, but if anyone is living in london or southsea or anywhere in the southern area of england and would like to throw a party in my honour, let me know and i will arrive in my best underwear. i'm also looking for museum recommendations or show listings, or random openings. i'd like to be seen, then perhaps i could become a page three star and someone would graciously finance another trip to the uk to attend the bowlie fest. if this fails, i'll be auctioning off much-sought-after photos of myself in my underwear. feel free to visit www.geocities.com/Athens/Styx/3733/ for saucy photos and an idea of just how much fun it would be to share a room with me. and it's newly updated, so even if you think you've seen it all, you haven't. i'm multifaceted, i am, and always a surprise. and i think it's a pretty universal sigh that's being breathed over the return of the sinister list. i can once again be secure in the knowledge that others are back to nibbling at biscuits and wearing cardies. i like to think that we all carried on despite the absence of instruction, but i for one misplaced my favourite cardie and ran out of biscuits. so here's one more day that's a bit better thanks to list mummy honey and all of you (awwww). please note: the purpose of the previous paragraph was not in any way included to try and get you all to send money. however, if you have been so inspired... twinkle, jessicaxo * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * someone had spied on us, i suppose, as we sat beside the canal and ate the sandwiches, drinking not even orangeade or coca-cola but hot milk out of a thermos. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * t i n y s t a r @ w o r l d y . c o m (it's lovely being a girl) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
