Sinister: so what does discreet mean?
by Jake 22 Apr '99

22 Apr '99

Well i've been sitting on the sidelines for months just watching things tick over slowly, without actually saying anything since my initial few months of mailings and now i thought that i'd just pop up again and say hi. I thought that i'd better get a mail in before Bowlie just to let all you fellow sinistereens who are going that i am still around and please let me join in all those special sinister games and picnics that will doubtless be going on. Needless to say that i'll be wearing an upside down badge to let you all now i'm "one of them", and of course i'll also have both my forms of i.d. with me at all time, just incase any of those lovely bluecoats decides to random drug search me and ask me for proof of age for the alcohol that i'll have been drinking discreetly out of licensing hours. Also, if the weather cheers up a bit (it's been really shite the past few days where i am in sussex) there will be the five-a-side footie tournament, it may just be for bands but if not howz about a sinister team? just a thought. see you there jake (aka kenny) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: greece, toronto, london, cambersands, papercuts
by vlass＠interlog.com 22 Apr '99

good day hello how are you, first, >> I'm proud to be a B&S fan and to tell you the truth I enjoy it so >> much now that (in Greece >> at least) nobody knows them. then johnnnnny k, >Oh please! Nobody knows them? Belle and Sebastian are fairly (to say the least) >popular in Greece actually. yes, it's true that people know about belle and sebastian in greece! i know because even though i'm a toronto-ontario-canada native, i usually spend a month or so in greece every summer. i even saw the only b&s music video i've ever seen one late night on the island i'm sometimes on, and it surprised me so much that i screamed out loud. yes i did. anyway, i'm going there again this summer so i'll be prepared to see the other throngs of fans again. plus, i am going to london for a week at the tail-end of june. i'll be staying with fellow sinisterette debbie, so just to warn you all now - if there is no picnic or equivalent event within those times, we (i?) are ORGANIZING one. YES. *cracks whip* (oh.. anyone interested in a toronto picnic as well? i always talk about it, but it's never actually happened. email me ^^^privately^^^ okay?) to all of you going to bowlie this weekend.. gah, have a wonderful time, you big fools. oh wait, i don't have to tell you that, do i? just be careful, okay? we don't want to hear about any unfortunate accidents involving stuart m & gocarts when you get back. i wannnna read papercuts. i wanna read any zines that sinister lads and lassies may have written because all the ones i have read are so so so good, and not necessarily in that cardie-loving tw** way; they just simply rule. so tell me if you made one. and if you haven't then you can still read mine. it's called melt the snow and there are photos and writing and stuff. i even have a belle and sebastian-y one-shot called (typically) -do something pretty while you can- that you can get. (ps, lesley, have i sent you your copy yet? boo, i can't remember) anyway, i am quietely freaking out because i have this huge exam in a few hours. blah blah blah. see you see you see you teri The trouble with me, Jane thought, as the hill grew steeper, is that I am not the cashmere-sweater type like Marcy: http://members.tripod.com/~meltingsnow/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Camber capers; Papercuts part deux
by Caleb Rudd 22 Apr '99

22 Apr '99

hellooo one and all, Long time no smut. I thought I'd better try to increase my Sinister popularity seeing Bowlie is but a a day away and the prospect of the I Saw You message board afterwards. Someone said about squeezing everyone in that we were all skinny and fey. We'll I'm skinny but wouldn't say I was fey, although I have an aunt Faye. I think getting into the venues should be based on a shortest to tallest order that way everyone will be able to see. After all it would be the polite thing to do. Can people believe how close it is. It just seems like 2 months ago that we were thrilled about having got tickets but it seemed soo long away. Oh, it was 2 months. I'm excited that so many Sinister people will be there, including Honey, who I'll have to meet just to dispel my fears he is isn't actually an elabroate majordomo program running on Unix. I was going to bring my laptop and do a regular update thing on Chester and Sinister but as an astute person pointed out, down at Camber Sands they probably think the Internet is still scary and mysterious and charge 8 quid a minute. Anyone bringing a digital camera though? And does anyone know the weather forecast - Should I bring my bathers or boiler suit? Papercuts: Tweekender - The Bowlie Issue Stevie Trousers and I have been working hard on issue 2 of Papercuts, the B&S fanzine of choice, as featured in Select magazine. Featuring interviews with My Life Story, and Marine Research, articles on the Go-Betweens and erm, others, Gene and Blur album reviews, a Bowlie band preview, Bowlie games, the continuation of PJ Miller's saga and pieces from approxitmately half the Sinister list, it promises to excede the first in quality and splendor. If Stevie doesn't feint from laser cartridge fumes (as he's been doing most of the work, bless) it will be available tonight at the Betsy ford do and all weekend at Bowlie, at the merchandising stand or you could just carry on with your malarky and wait to be accosted by a Papercuts editor. For mail orders, watch this space ----> <----- which won't do you much good but I thought it was amusing. But seriously... (apart from being an album title from Phil Collins), we'll relay details about mail orders after bowlie. Camber Cabs I rang a couple of taxi places in Rye including Rother Cabs (01797 224554) who said it costs about a fiver from Rye to Camber Sands, but all cabs are metered so it may vary. Except for Monks Cars apparantly, who quoted 10 quid. Cheeky Monkseys! Anyone going down from London on Saturday morn? I'm going to get the 10.37am train from London Bridge to Rye on Saturday as I have to work on Friday and want to see big lips, big ego, big songs (i.e. Echo & the Bunnymen) at the Brixton academy on the Friday night. Railtrack says the trip from London to Rye (via Ashford) only takes 1 3/4 hours, which in "real" time means I'll probably be arriving just as the Divine Comedy exit the stage that night. Oh well. byeee, Caleb /-(^)-----------------------------------------------------------(^)-----\ | Chester Indie Zine http://www.darkshadow.com/chester | | UKindiePOPdance editor(a)chester.org.au | \-(v)-----------------------------------------------------------(v)-----/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: with our winning smiles...
by Kimberly Rehak 22 Apr '99

22 Apr '99

my o my-- hello everyone, i just woke up. the reason that i'm posting is that i just woke up. i had a crazy dream, let's see if i can remember it all... well, i dreamt that i was looking through playboy (which isn't so odd because that is what my friends were doing last night--i know, it's a shame) but i dreamt that the last two episode featured pictures of--well--naked girls but ALSO there was this huge poster of the cover to TBWTAS in the backgroud. but then i dreamt that i wrote to all of you and explained how that poster was in playboy and that subject header i wrote "with our winning smiles..." i think i need to go back to sleep.

Sinister: could it be magic?
by Joss Moorkens 22 Apr '99

22 Apr '99

Hello. Joss here. The Jason Orange of Roolz. When this crazy rollercoaster of chart success (just add up all of our list crush votes; we're right up there) ends, I plan on embarking upon an acting career. My favourite actor is Jason Connery. Sadly, since we won't be playing this Bowlie thing, we shall be forced to just plod along with the proles. I shall be disguised as a blotchy faced Irishman with red eyes and a penchant for drunken singing. I still don't understand why Tag won't let me on the records. That royalty cheque *is* in the post, isn't it, McT? Perhaps I ought enlist Mr. Begbie to give him some of that verbal GBH of the earhole. I'm looking forward very much to seeing Fugazi too, David. That End Hits LP is marvellous. Although I did go to see their film the other day. I now feel that I have lived through their 10 year history. Mark wrote: Ever hit a bird with your car? No, but I did once hit a deer. He ran right out in front of me, I skidded, but still hit him in the hip. I got out to check on him (this is probably not the thing to do, should anyone else ever hit a deer: they are big and scary) and he got up and leapt over a wall. Thankfully. Shook me though. Is anyone else amused by http://thump.rotten.com/dilbert-hole/index.html I know i shouldn't be. Suzannah wrote: I'm off now to buy some pyjamas cos I might be sharing a bed with a complete stranger. I do hope so. At this juncture I would like to point out that I don't know you. And I am from another country. If that doesn't make me a stranger, I don't know what does.*wink* Sorry.

Sinister: who is correct, Jeepster, Ticketweb or Camber Sands?
by JJ 22 Apr '99

22 Apr '99

A friend of mine got this via email at about 1548 today, from Ticketweb: "Dear xxxxxx, As this is a licenced site you will not be permitted to bring your own alcohol onto the site. We are looking into the Belle and Sebastian recommendation as this is directly conflicting with the information given to us by Camber Sands. Best wishes TicketWeb " Now Katrina's mail was posted some time this morning, I think, so who is right? Clarification please.

Sinister: B&S in Greece
by Panos Karafotias 22 Apr '99

22 Apr '99

Hey all, this is my first post here too.I don't know about you but I feel I'm lucky that I am among you people.I'm proud to be a B&S fan and to tell you the truth I enjoy it so much now that (in Greece at least) nobody knows them. One other thing that impresses me so much about the group is that here in Athens where I live I know about 10 people who love B&S and they all have something in common which I think deserves some notice.I don't know what's going on in Scotland and the rest of the U.k. but here all these ten people are record collectors and generally 60's listeners.If one of you is a 60's lover can understand how difficult it is for us to appreciate a new group with "modern" sound.Well, B&S have achieved that and thank God they did . :) I want to hear some other opinions.Are there any more record collectors and 60's fans that enjoy B&S or that thing here in Greece is just pure coincidence?

Sinister: one hot moment
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 22 Apr '99

22 Apr '99

Blake whispers, for fear of being shunned by his peers... >Best Picture--LesleyJo, I really can't say enough about the, beer is it, in the hand, purely enjoyable. NAH it's not beer. it's just a crummy snap one use camera. i am not a very good party animal. my alcoholic exploits are restricted thus far to a very occasional (i.e. special occasions) bout of champagne or merlot. la di da. or Wild Turkey, either one. no chaser. i have no idea what the hell i'm talking about. i have to warn all you that the most crush-worthy miss christa jackson chaffinch has been appointed to be my remote-sensing bowlie eyes and ears. she'll be ordered to report back to me any and every thing that goes down on the dirty bus. and she'll be taking blood and fiber samples from the lot of you so i can start my Sinister clone farm, a superhuman army of Tweeness that will one day rule......er, the corner playground. Yeah! and is sleater-kinney still going to be there? say hi to them for me. tell them they rawk tha mic. i have a question! in sleep the clock aroond, what is it that the people are getting paid to do? sleep? are they in some weird medical experiment? i've never heard this discussed. it's not a joke. i really want to know what they are getting paid for. they're all glad that they came. for what? at the end, i always envision people dancing the reel on a windy hillside, and doing the centrifuge like dreamy lovers, jigging through the ocean foam with many white horses, as the camera pans around broadly into the sunset. what do YOU, the VIEWER, imagine? </relevant question> i had an idea, there should be a Bowlie ride at disney world, like "Belle and Sebby of the Cambersandieans". like pirates you know? those automated models, what you callits. you could instead of a boat, ride thru on a double decker bus, and pass all the scenes of drunken revelry. you could see mick and nick and rick at the brit awards, doomed to perpetually raise and lower the statuette over and over for thousands of visitors passing by. the dog on wheels could be the tour guide. all the characters of stuart's wonder world come alive. SEE Jane paint lines...(AND catch a dose of thrush!)..over and over again! SEE Judy with ants in her pants. SEE sebastian crash his car. SEE isobel's most frightening school outfit ever as you enter the Chamber of Sadistic Madchen. oh the horror so who is in Roolz anyway? is there someonre called Justin? there should be. no real boy=band is without a justin, or a nick. i still say it's time for homoerotic adolescent puppet groups. anyone with me? i didn't think so. sigh. Gentle waves flautist.......margaret they say? it creeps me out. just a couple weeks ago i had a dream that i was in the Jeepster Shop( a real place staffed by a lovely Katrina, and stocked full of jd salinger books, giant isobel posters, u2 tshirts, and ultra rare seven inches) and there was a framed 8X10 on the wall of a certain "mary Margaret" who was the member before sarah joined. she was mousy and wore glasses but was very kewt in a frumpy sort of way. i still say this is creepy. how long though, before they become an orchestra of like 30 people? sooner or later stuart will feel that it's necessary to do justice to his future masterpieces. then we'll have to memorize ever more names for our dorm-room magazine collages of the sweeties in b/s. (oh i forgot the part of that one dream where stuart Muchrod gleefully showed us his boring briefs, which he had spray-painted metallic silver on the arse part. he was very proud of this for whatever reason) today was a good day. i got to make contact with my very own potential sweetie, my number two photo jenny, my bad bad girl. i'm feeling love for you all. i wish i had the attention span right now to write all of you personally like i should be doing for the people i need to write to. until then here is your word for the day. neurasthenic. i wrote a DC trip sestina maybe i'll show you sometime when the list gets slow. i can't WAIT till after bowlie when we losers get to sit back and listen to all the lucky ones tell how much fun they had. NP in my brain: the photomontages of Weimar-era dadaist Hannah Hoch (insert umlaut) johnk, is france galls name really Isabelle?? Eine Kleine Madchen (in uniform), LJ http://www.members.tripod.com/rebelstrange The boat that brings us here will crack beneath your weight. This is territory you cannot invade.

Sinister: Momus is Marvelous
by Pulpbot＠aol.com 22 Apr '99

22 Apr '99

You friggin' James Taylors, What, there is an artist actually too smirky and smart-ass for this list? Can't imagine! I reckon it's easier to cuddle up to B&S's precious mystique than a sarky sing-a-long about coming in a girl's mouth. I found his sub-cabaret wurblings hard to fathom at first, and perhaps a good melody isn't always atop his to-do list, but as I once told someone else on this list, Momus' verbal jousts are a bit meatier than, say, Nick Drake references. I find it hard to imagine that Stuart Murdoch hasn't been influenced by Momus. Shades of the birth of Athena, yes? God, my pretention meter just broke. OKay, get 'Tender Pervert.' Be prepared for way-cheap keyboard sounds, but his song 'The Homosexual' is sex ed for indie boys and wholly necessary, as is the entire album. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
