Ok, no one answered my last post about London but I'll try something new (but related).... Surely there are people on this list who live in London. I'm going to be in London April 2-6 with my girlfriend (already got tix for the Gentle Waves show on April 4), but not being especially religious, didn't realize that that weekend is Easter weekend. So... is all of London closed on Easter weekend? What does everyone suggest to do in London besides eat Indian food and drink the world's best beer? Anything interesting going on that weekend? Any recommended restaurants or pubs?

Sinister: Careful With That Axe, Dave
by David Moore 28 Mar '99

28 Mar '99

Hi (nearly) Easter Bunnies, Aaaaww, TweeHouse: Went to the Improv Theatre Thursday evening to see the Looper Son et Lumiere experience. Music really good, pictures very clever, between songs jokes by Stephen Hawkinge OK. Audience behavoiur a bit strange, most of them spending the evening cross-legged on the floor looking like students listening to music whilst watching TV with the sound turned off. Shades of Shepherds Bush as well, as there was even a bit of shushing! Hope Camber Sads isn't going to be too reverential :)Does anybody know the name of the new one about Stuart dreaming that he had written a hit song for Elvis (who else!) until his missus hits him on the head with a rolled up newspaper? We didn't get to speak to Doctor David & Mr Pish figure Stuart David, so don't feel too bad about it Genevieve. Actually I don't think you'll get much of a look in with your Scots fantasy figure anyway, seeing as the only time he lifted his head up all night was to turn it round to sing the whole of "Quiet & Small" looking lovingly at Wee Karn sat at the side of the stage. Bowlie Balls: Don't know when B&S are playing at Camber, but did manage to glean from David & Katrina that the events kick off at 7pm on Friday night with V-Twin, followed by The Delgados. That Subject? You lot went on about David Gilmour so much recently I've been re-living my childhood listening to Meddle & Atom Heart Mother. I'll have to dust off Umma Gumma next. "One Of These Days" sure is a banging choon.

Sinister: stay in school/NY picnic
by Genevieve Wesley 28 Mar '99

28 Mar '99

...no no NO, don`t drop out of school,bad bad bad idea,to the person who was pondering it...ok,that was my little thing Outreach To Youth. those things are funny..the dont do drugs commericals? some of them are quite scary..but the ones with this little nerd,his pants pulled up to his chest.. at a party and these evil,gloomy 10 feet tall jocks glowering at him to `spark another owl` and the little one suddenly hallucinates his parents there, going "Billy...no....we love..you" and suddenly he leaves the party,with a gorgeous babe. You`re all talking about picnics! I think there should be a New York picnic in July. Oh have loads of them all together,but July for sure. How many ny people are there anyways? I think we should all play baseball...have any of you seen Switchblade Sisters? we can have 2 teams...`The Dagger Debs` vs `The Silver Daggers` yes!! i want to work in a pub. no one has offered suggestions for my documentary,i`m serious people! i`m dying out here! "I remember in the Good Ol Days" whenever you had trouble with homework,just ask for suggestions on sinister,and youd get like a dozen replies.Maybe its my subject lines? my subject lines usually never have anything to do with what im actually going on ab out..so maybe thats why,they just skip them. ok..c`est beau. much love, Gunther i wont bite... hard!

Sinister: the bbc made me do it...

28 Mar '99

ahum... as someone has already let me know i made a small mistake when saying that right now the time over here was the same as in the uk. but i blame the bbc for making me look like a total fool... as they only changed to the correct time (on the teletext) this afternoon, making me think this morning that "hey, how weird! it's just as late over there too!". 'mille excuses' for breaking the no-more-than-one-mail-a-day rule, and making those two as boring too, annie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: time
by Annie Tremp 28 Mar '99

28 Mar '99

hello we just changed to summer hour here tonight, so for the moment it's the same 'time' over here (belgium) as it is in the uk. i have no idea when it's gonna change over there. i know it's not of any importance but it made me think about how stupid our idea of time is... well, mine anyway... enjoy as much of it as you can... xo, annie i went to a concert yesterday (the manics) and the dj played 'ease your feet in the sea' before they started, it made me feel all warm inside... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: raindrops on roses and teapots in windows
by Archel 28 Mar '99

28 Mar '99

it's funny, no matter how many times i type 'sinister' i still keep getting it wrong. it must be one the easiest words to mistype ever (character is also tricky i find). but maybe this is just because of my own personal style of typing, ie. quite quickly but incredibly inefficiently with two fingers. alix, i have a teapot story to share. i was sitting in a cafe (owned by someone i know slightly) and was just admiring the teapot collection which they had arranged on the window sill. i was particularly taken with an orange one with flowers on, and the owner noticed and promptly gave it to me. now how often do you get given teapots in cafes? not that often, i would say, which is why i suppose i can't really recommend this way of acquiring said items, but still, it made my day. there could almost be a b&s song about it. 'the girl with the teapot in her sainsburys carrier bag'. you know, it's *not* just the music press who put labels on fans. fans do it themselves too, you can't pretend otherwise. and yes, perhaps we should 'get used to it', but it just seems sad that sometimes people can only feel good about themselves by attaching themselves to a band, a look, a proscribed lifestyle. (naturally i don't include the universally well-balanced sinisterines here...) oh, it's so lovely that someone's getting married! yuk, that sounded a bit gushy, but i just think it's nice. probably since all my friends think i'm going to be a bitter old maid due to foolish things i said in my youth (well, last week probably.) i haven't dared to do a public u-turn, drop my feminist stance and confess that i've been looking longingly at wedding dresses. i expect it's because it's spring. anyway, music: perhaps 'my wandering days are over' would be appropriate? although overall it's not particularly cheery i suppose. right, i'm off on holiday for a bit. see ya. (perhaps in the flesh at a picnic, who knows? i'll be the one not wearing indie glasses etc...) luv archel xxx ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Playforth rap101(a)york.ac.uk http://members.tripod.com/~RPlayforth/welcome.htm ***** do something pretty while you can don't be afraid skating a pirouette on ice is cool - belle and sebastian -------------------------------------------------------------------- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

In a message dated 3/26/99 9:47:11 AM Eastern Standard Time, rap101(a)york.ac.uk writes: << ... i don't think i have a 'look'. i don't wear indie glasses, i don't even wear cardies or flares or flowers or band t-shirts. i look like someone who doesn't listen to music at all, i think. but i kind of thought that liking b&s, unlike any other band, meant that you didn't have to look or act like anything in particular... >> Indeed, you don't have to look like anything or anyone to be a Belle and Sebastian fan. There should be an overemphasis on the music and not on a collective image of the fan base. Some of us share similar tastes in fashion but there certainly is no prerequisite to being a fan. We do, however, run the risk of allowing ourselves to be a bit pretentious and precious at times, but that's a behaviour inherent in the fans of "intelligent" music. How many times have you gone to an indie show and overheard conversations full of band discography and "they were better back before..."? It happens all the time; kids trying to sound as if they can't possibly like something because lots of people do. It's one thing to be knowledgeable about the music you enjoy, but it's another thing to alienate the rest of the fans with an elitist attitude. Wow, I'm out of control! Sorry if I sound preachy, but I had to get that out. Also, about the Smiths comparison...I agree with m. elise, as I am a huge Smiths fan. I've never heard the similarities in the music, but understand a common quality in both bands' essence. They make us feel special and cause many otherwise well-mannered people to dance around uncontrollably in bedrooms all over the world. This is not such a bad thing at all!
