Sinister: Cor, baby, that's so free
by poetryplace2 23 Mar '99

23 Mar '99

A brief message, of no interest to those of you who don't live in London. This Friday there's another social at the Poetry Cafe. For full details go here >> http://www.belleandsebastian.co.uk/cgi-bin/mboard/belle/thread.cgi?106,0 << I should add that since I posted these details a support act has been added. I assure you I am not having some kind of freaky flashback when I tell you that Wild Willie Barratt, one time sidekick of John Otway, will be doing some folsky minstrelsy as a warm up for those scandi-pop vikings Poor Rich Ones. I'm scared. Still only £3!

Sinister: Short, svelte, hairless legs
by mctag＠bigfoot.com 23 Mar '99

23 Mar '99

Dear weird inadequates, Funny Michael mentioning Ernie Wise, Trousers was making cheap jokes about the fact that I "left" sinister on the same day as Ernie Wise rid himself of this mortal coil (that's "died" in Poetryish). I say this because he was probably going to point it out to the list and I'm a vindictive bastard so I want to spoil his fun. Far from having "short, fat hairy legs" like Ernie, it has been clinically proven that I had the kind of legs most women would kill for. This does have disadvantages and lead me to being accosted by an Iranian gentlemen while on holiday (in Italy, not Iran) and told "you are so pale, you are like a woman and Italian women will never make love to you". I cried for a week. I was given a tape of Belle and Sebastian live at Shepherd's Bush a while ago and I've only just got around to listening to it, such is the dizzy whirl of my social life. It's a fascinating historical document, and proves us all to be cheerful masochists, just like Comrade Haines said we were. Up until that point I thought I was just having a good time with my mates, regardless of the group's sub-standard performance, but no...I can clearly hear the massed Sinister choir screaming "Shit on us Stuart, we're not worthy". Who's coming out to play with me and Warrander John in Glasgow at Easter? There's no Uptight which is a pain, but Wardie assures me there will be lots of jolly antics, though I'm not going to let Warrander talk me into playing Mummies and Daddies like I did last time. Up yours ugly, Love tag xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Re: Ernie was the talented one - discuss
by Joss Moorkens 23 Mar '99

23 Mar '99

Hey there. So the Taggles isn't leaving after all? Hooray for the brooding moody Mancunian Mumpkinny. Anyhow, I had a scarifying dream last night which I recalled when I saw the above subject line. I was in the downstairs living room of my house with the body of Ernie Wise when, quite suddenly, he opened his eyes and smiled at me. Then he let his head drop suddenly and laughed at me cos I thought he'd popped his clogs again. Then he got up and did a little dance. I was rather afraid and woke up, unable to sleep for a while. And when I did a man tried to feed me sausages. With Sleeka Sounds written on them. So, as you might imagine, I've been feeling somewhat unsettled all day today. I got to see nice Mr. Looper last Saturday. There was 2 big projector screens and 3 little tellys with nice bits of video and pictures on them. And underneath was wee Mr. David looking apologetic and gesturing wildly at his cousin inbetween his singy bits. It was all very nice, but lasted for mere moments. I don't know why he had to go on so early because the posters had him above Salako and clearly, Looper was what the Dublin popsters had come to see. Anyway, I'd recommend their gentle multimedia ways to all of the boys and girls. Even though my friend Sean was disappointed that they weren't more evil. Maybe someone could have a word.... I agree that limited singles are poo. However, isn't it odd that the article's title was taken from Huggy Bear. Wasn't that Rubbing the Impossible to Burst 7" limited to 1000 copies? I rather think it was, Sir. I've still put me order in with Rough Trade. Born a sucker, sadly. So will the next B&S single have 2 cd versions then? I hope so. I love when they do that. Cheerio....

Sinister: Pete waterman

Did anyone read the sun Bizarre section yesterday about Pete Waterman making peace with B&S and is now wearing a badge of the band! I don't know why he has allegedly done a U-turn but I guess he actually took the time out to listen to a B&S tune!!! either that the paper is talking shit, which personally I hope is the case as he may try and say he is a fan ...............Bang there goes the street cred! Another scary thought ....he may be among us, has/will he breach sinister Andy +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: more news ... sorry :)
by Katrina House 23 Mar '99

23 Mar '99

more bits i sent to the jeepster news list yesterday that may be of some interest to some of you ... ************************************************************************ * the gentle waves * alrighty, now continuing on with the subject of gigs, we've had a lot of people ask us about the forthcoming Gentle Waves dates ... well, seeing as everyone wants to know which other B&S members will be playing with Isobel, we thought we'd let you know that Stuart Murdoch, Stevie Jackson, Chris Geddes, Mick Cooke and Richard Colburn will all appear onstage too! The gigs are selling quite quickly, so if you'd like to spend your Easter weekend in the company of Isobel and pals playing some beautiful fragile songs, then here's the details again: Friday 2nd April - Leeds City Varieties Theatre, Swan Street Saturday 3rd April - Cardiff Coal Exchange, The Exchange Buildings, Mount Street Square Sunday 4th April - London Improv Theatre, 161 Tottenham Court Road Saturday 10th April - Glasgow Mitchell Theatre, Exchange House, 229 George Street contact Ticketweb at http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/ for more details. Isobel has designed a lovely t-shirt and we should have it and some Gentle Waves badges for sale at the gigs, if you can't make it then check out the TGW website after Easter at http://www.jeepster.co.uk/thegentlewaves/ ************************************************************************ * sodastream * OK, self-promotion time ... when David + i went to Perth, Australia to visit all my rellies @ Christmas, we met up with a fantastic band called "sodastream". karl (vocals/guitars) + pete (bass) told us that a track off their first EP "enjoy" called "turnstyle" had made it onto John Peel's Festive Fifty for 1998. The "enjoy" EP had never been released outside Australia and we thought it was sacriledge that hardly anyone had ever heard of them, let alone be able to get hold of their music, so we've devised a cunning plan :) sodastream were offered to play the Rebound Festival in Amsterdam on 28th March and have managed to fit in a U.K. stopover at the same time, whereby we have scheduled them the following gigs! *friday 16th april, the poetry cafe, london (betterton street), doors @ 7.30pm, tickets three pounds on the door *saturday 17th april, nice'n'sleazy's, glasgow (sauchiehall street) supporting Salako, doors @ 9.00pm, tickets available on the door @ approx. four pounds *sunday 18th april, the hull adelphi (de grey street) headlining with Fonda 500 in support, doors + ticket info tbc *sunday 25th april, the bowlie weekender, camber sands holiday camp, first band on the main stage, SOLD OUT :( they are releasing a limited 7" on pickled egg/blue soda of the track "turnstyle" and two other songs "evening song" (unreleased) and "hope grocery" (available on their second ep "practical footwear"), which will be on sale at all the above gigs. i know i have a vested interest in them, seeing as they do come from the bestest city in the world :) (even though they both now live in melbourne!) but the music they make is just beautiful, so, go on! do yourself a favour (aussie speak) and try your hardest to find out more. they have a site with sound files at http://listen.to/sodastream/ ************************************************************************ cheers, Katrina. -- ************************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - mailto:a-and-r@jeepster.co.uk http://www.jeepster.co.uk/ ***we are moving on april 1st 1999!*** new postal address is po box 14153, london, sw11 4xu, u.k. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Ernie was the talented one - discuss
by Michael Jones 23 Mar '99

23 Mar '99

Afternoon, fiends... Someone wrote a while back that physicists generally struggled to finish reading anything that wasn't to do with sigma to the doodah over pi times Eigen-howsyourfather. Who was that ? Oh, let's call them Belinda. Well, Belinda, I spent five years pretending to know all about Newton and that German fella with the white beard and thesedays I can scarcely start a book, much less finish one. I'm building quite an impressive library of untouched paperbacks I can tell you - Atwood, Kennedy, Chekhov, Carter. I'm hoping to broaden my horizons a little this summer - lazy August days lounging just feet away from still-cellophaned volume of Proust, or perhaps a sun-dappled evening in a beer garden with a slim Derrida text poking out of my pocket - Waterstones receipt still inside its unsullied pages. I did my best to get to the bottom of "Larry Holmes", the short (ha ! That's a joke - I had to use the bloody scroll bar) story on the Genghis Khans website, but started to compulsively skim a paragraph in. This is no reflection of the quality of Ms Campbell's writing, btw - as I pointed out earlier to Belinda, it's me. I can't hack it. Liked the bit about the streaky carpark and the grandma into metallurgy, though. Seamus 'hospital food' Campbell had this to say: >glo-worm are exceedingly pleasant at times, but that cover of "friday i'm >in love" was awful. Ah, but isn't all about context ? And in the context of "271 DC Bands Interpret The Cure", it was a gobful of sugary goodness on a broad plate of lukewarm gruel. Besides, I hear the singer's living with a right hardcase. So watch it, pal. Right - I'm off to take my brain to another dimension. Pay close attention. Mike. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: thoughts on looper

whoohoo I really like it! i am in love with "quiet and small" very much. I think it's one of the most beautiful, nicest songs I've ever heard actually. and when I played it for my folks my mom said "wow a glockenspiel!" so there you go. it's all really amazing, that's pretty much all I can say. I still don't get "Burning Flies" though. i could be missing something. that is not a nice song. not that all songs have to be nice. ::sigh::. ari +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Camber Sands, some tickets left
by Sleeka Sounds 23 Mar '99

================== Letter 1 Hoy! Did anyone notice how superb Stuart Murdoch's mail was yesterday? Observe as I put on my analyst dressing gown.... >Hi, I was just wondering As we've all been told, Stuart's wondering days are over. If he was just wondering, no he is not a fibber, he's endearing himself to our brains by suggesting he is not boring. He's a celibate bip-bopper. That'll do pig, my place at eight with the Motorhead video. >if anyone might need tickets for Camber Sands, >because Stevie at Nice'n'Sleazys in Glasgow has a bit of a surplus >just now. Celebrity namedropping of sorts. Monsieur Murdoch is spoiling us by naming Glasgow famous man Stevie Dreads, as namechecked on the back of the album beside some poxy geordie called paul mitchell. Stevie Dreads is famous for having big dreadlocks, working in Sleazies, and being everywhere you go. Fantastic work Stuart, whooops there goes another! >You can give him a buzz on Ah, you see the ever saucy Murdoch mind is reaching down to new crotch level depths with that one. Is he gay? Is he straight? Is he suggesting a group encounter? I don't know but I like it. Buzzzzzzz! Buzzzzz! Buzzzzz! >0141 333 9637. Just like every phone number in hollywood has 555 in it, every phone number in Glasgow has 333 in it. Fact. So by referring to this, the Sherlock Murdoch brings to mind the work of Bill Forsyth, as a throwaway. let us rock. >Sincerely >S Murdoch This is a fly reference to "Famous Blue Raincoat" by Leonard Cohen, which ends "Sincerely L Cohen". Stuart has a blue coat as seen on the Melody Maker Cover, but I'm not sure if it's waterproof. There you have it, so much in so few words. God Bless the mind of the Murdoch, it is as sharp and pointy as a jungle spear. ================== Letter 2 Amphetameanies were tops on Friday. Curry was good on Saturday. Sunday is a day of rest Monday I had off. Went to see dEUS, a band whose work I'm not terribly familiar with. The old wacky stuff was great, the new cock rock stuff was cock. As Harry said, there is no such thing as rocking too much, but there is present danger in the wrong kind of rock. Yours, Mistopher Christopher Leonard PS.
