Sinister: From my neck of the woods
by Kin Woo 27 Mar '99

27 Mar '99

Wow I can't believe that Sodastream are going to support Salako on their UK jaunt! I mean they're from the 'the most remote city in the world'-i.e. Perth, Western Australia, where I live...!:) Shamefacedly I must admit I've only seen 'em once, when they supported Pavement and I thought they made quite sweet if nothing-that-grabbed-me-too-much music. My friends knew 'em quite well so they'll be extremely shocked to hear of their sudden upturn of fame and fortune:) Good on Katrina (another ex Perth-riate!:) for championing them and opening 'em up to a whole new potential audience:)Next up, Katrina, bring Belle and Sebastian here!!!That'd be the ultimate! C'mon expound to 'em the many erm delights of Australia like... can't think of any! Oh yeah err fresh air and umm space... Well good luck to Sodastream and all you Bowlie goers have fun and spare a thought for the less fortunate B&S fanATICS living in far off lands. Old topic but is anyone else as upset as I was when Gwyneth Paltrow won the Oscar, depriving our very own (as in Aussie) Cate Blanchett of one??? BOO HISS! NO MORE AWARDS FOR STUCK UP ACTRESSES who've got it great all their lives!!! ok that's off my chest, gotta skeddadle. Everyone go and see "Cruel Intentions" the movie, (more about this in a forthcoming message:) and peace and love to all! seeya Kin Woo With A Star Upon Your Shoulder Lighting Up The Path As You Walk 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: Maker's Mark

Sinister: Belle and Sebastian, on the radio....
by ar981611＠student.paisley.ac.uk 27 Mar '99

27 Mar '99

Remember a while back that people were asking the weirdest places where you had heard Belle and Sebastian, well on the football section on Radio Scotland they do a sketch/comedy show about Scottish football and someone playing Fergus McCann (the chief executive of Celtic) made a joke about Belle and Sebastian winning a Brit (it was as part of a sketch about Jim Kerr of Simple Minds buying Celtic, it was a crap sketch, crap joke, BUT it was a fairly unlikely place to hear a reference to Belle and Sebastian). Alix, can I suggest that you go onto Countdown and *win* a rather attractive teapot? I could do it for you if you like, as I am a student and officially have nothing to do in the afternoons except watch gameshows (oh and be pretentious about my coursework of course). I've even started watching Wheel of Fortune, and actually lasted ten whole minutes of Through the Keyhole the other day (it was bald snooker genius and friend of Gary Lineker, Mr Willie Thorne, and my house is a lot nicer than his, well I think so anyway). Finally, after reading everyone's Belle and Sebastian dreams for so many months and thinking I would never have one myself, last night the (almost) unthinkable happened. I can't remember any of my dreams ever (except one where I was Steve McManaman which is a bit alarming) so I can't tell you what the dream was about, but I do clearly remember the name Tim Hopkins being quite prominent in whatever it was, and it was the first thought I had when I woke up. This is highly bizarre as I have never met Mr Hopkins in my life. I'm all scared now... Apologies for the Brit-centredness of every reference in this mail, I shall try to be more cosmopolitan next time. In four weeks from now I will be at Camber Sands :), I am getting more than a little excited. I read in the NME that Belle and Sebastian would be playing the Sunday night, but perhaps we could force them to change their minds so that nobody flying back early will miss them?

Sinister: from china to peru
by Alix Campbell 27 Mar '99

27 Mar '99

hallo you filthy lot well, it's certainly been a while since i wrote. not a bad thing, mayhap. even though i'm not a student, i shall reveal, in an exciting manner, just how i've been spending my time. it's like this, i've been drinking fine tea, from the co-op, no less, and scouting oxford on the weekend for teapot of my own. it's very difficult, none of the charity shops seem to have anything of interest to a tea connoiseur. all the other teapots i find seem to be brown. why is this? i don't want a brown teapot. if anyone has a spare teapot, i'd be delighted. and, oh, had a nice time up poetry cafe way last night. even got the courage to go and buy drinks. OY OY. anyway, i have run out of things to say. i think i have list fatigue because i simply can't think of anything to write. this is a pathetic attempt to rectify.... i shall venture back into oxford, maybe today...a teapot will be mine. chances are, i'll end up in the pub again though. alix.x the universe contains everything that exists, the planets, their moons, the stars, star clusters, the galaxies and groups of galaxies and all the space and all the gas between them. as far as scientists know there is only one universe and there is nothing which is not part of it. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Here Comes the Groom...
by stephen hewitt 27 Mar '99

hi there folks About half an hour ago Stuart said: >the first Sinister picnic of the year shall >take place in London on the May Day bank holiday (Monday >May 3). Place and >time tbc, but probably 2pm on Primrose Hill, Oh no! I really would like to come, but I'll be on my honeymoon (not with honey, you understand), oh well, there shall be other picnics but not other honeymoons (thats the plan anyway). Regarding the Sm**hs thing, I agree with all the similarities but hope that our current favourite band won't split up after 4 albums (or release a dreadful live album)! Can anyone suggest good songs to get married to??? We're having a civil ceremony on 1 May (ie 5 weeks time, EEEEkk!) at Pittville Pump Rooms in Cheltenham(a very grand old regency-style building) and we are trying to think of cool music to have before and after. Most of the records I own are too sad or weird to be played at a wedding (How Soon Is Now? would hardly be appropriate!) so any suggestions would be greatfully received. btw anyone mentioning 'Lets Get Married' by The Proclaimers will be painted blue and laughed at. later xox CarsmileSteve ---------------------------------------------- carsmilesteve(a)geocities.com visit our website http://fast.to/carsmile and get a !F!R!E!E!

Sinister: Smiths/Morrissey
by Chris Tunnock 27 Mar '99

27 Mar '99

Dear List, May I weigh in on this discussion by stating I am a fan of the Smiths and the "fine and dandy" Steven Patrick Morrissey, and although I neither cannot see musical similarities, I believe fans of B&S and fans of the aforementioned are not mutually exclusive... and I object to that notion like the few before me! Enough.

Sinister: I call that a bargain, the best i ever had...
by Blake E. Hamilton 26 Mar '99

26 Mar '99

maybe it's me and i think that i am writing the list too much. if this is indeed the case, please, above all else, let me know. you all have become my html-text based diary, so be thankful, look up into the sky and kiss it lightly. my point is that i am officially submitting my grovel for a copy of the Black Sessions. if anyone's interested, i've got many a great Who bootlegs that will do just fine for a little taped copy of our wee friends. well i can feel the boredom begin to accumulate like the heat on my window. and to add to a discussion that i believe, unfortunately, has died, i think B&S make great summer music. but it makes the biggest impact on me when i listen to it in the winter, for the songs seem to be mostly about how the summer is always so carefree and sunny, and then when winter rolls around and the pained pores of the trees lose all they once had, and we can all still remember how great is used to be. oh, and for anyone who crazily wants to talk to me on a personal plane, my aol instant messenger name thingee is TigerJammy and my darling icq number is 22810722 i get bored, so you just might catch me on, well yes, ok, i'm going now... love, blake and i'm serious about the black sessions plea! tea and crumpets for the first offer! (ok that's false advertising, since i'm in the US, the closest thing i have to a crumpet is a Nutri Grain cereal bar....p'shaw) ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ "I am not Jesus, though I have the same initials." - Jarvis Cocker +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: "schoolyard sexual politics"
by Archel 26 Mar '99

26 Mar '99

buongiorno. what was preoccupyng me today? oh yes. i'm another one of the unfortunate people who are currently 20 years old, and i expect that, yes, there are many listerines (and indeed other, normal people) who do not consider this old. at all. and it isn't, but as the big two one approaches and there will soon be precious little that i'm not allowed to do on grounds of age any more, things do begin to look a bit bleak. biologically, i suppose, i am still very wee, but this is no comfort since as i am a grrrl i will not reach my sexual prime until my thirties, which leaves an awful lot of time to be unsatisfied and repressed. meanwhile all my male friends are romping around, hormones raging, content (?) in the knowledge that they are at their physical peak RIGHT NOW. and yet how many couples do you see made up of thirty year old women and nineteen year old men? not nearly enough, i say. oh dear, i'm rambling today. i haven't spoken to anyone for a while... reading articles and stuff (and even picking up vibes from this list), it seems that there is a certain perception of what b&s fans are like, as well as the band. i must say that i don't feel described by anything i've read. 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. seems i could be wrong though. i don't have any indie credentials - i don't go to gigs any more, my cd collection is pretty tiny, and i've never heard of the field mice. also i've never read any douglas coupland or kerouac, or lots of other people mentioned here. now that b&s are becoming 'news', i feel constrained by being a 'fan', and even a bit alienated from other 'fans'. i thought it was about the music... all that said, i'm feeling quite happy in my own little ignorant, non-sectarian way at the moment. finished my dissertation, the sun is shining over the city of york, i've got lovely music to listen to (although i may not know anything about it) and i'm seeing my sweetheart on monday.

dear "i hate being compared to smith's fans" diary... i love the smiths...morrissey is my passion...my lifeline...making me feel that i may really be all right after all...i understand that belle and sebastian sound immensely like nick drake and really not very smiths-esque at all...but i think that they all bring about very intense feelings...and that's where the comparison comes from...so it isn't a shameful thing to be compared to a smiths fan...i'm a smiths fan and i'm not so horrid :) it's 9.20...that means off to the library...to watch the beautiful people make their mark in this world...i'm a lot happier lately...i suppose that is rather nice... watching the world pass her by... m. elise +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
