Sinister: No one has mentioned Bell-end Semenstain lately
by Mark Casarotto 14 Apr '99

14 Apr '99

One day, could someone please write to sinister and say "great! This interview in x media scum mag is quite funny, and pretty accurate, and informative too! I really enjoyed reading that" with a big honest metaphorical grin. I enjoyed reading the Q interview, I thought the piece in Select was funny and often spot on, I like the fact people in the media are interested in B&S - I don't care about their motives, I think it's fab that the band get press. I really enjoyed the Q review because it talked about my favourite band, and said things I didn't know, and gave me a bit more of an idea what Richard and Chris and Stevie are like (though I was disturbed by that bit with the teabag). I found it funny when it was funny, not just because I knew more than the writer. I'm sure the interviewer got some things wrong - most of which I couldn't correct anyway - but so what? I don't read Q, I don't suppose I ever will, but thank you to them for putting Belle and Sebastian in their paper. There. Sorry, I had to say that - I'm sure Mick had no intention of saying any of the things I've railed against, but it just reminded me of all the responses to articles that have been posted here, many of which have veered off into elitism and one-upmanship. Hell, I enjoy elitism and one-upmanship as much as the next one-upman, but I felt I should say this rather than bottling it up till next time. To lighter things...am I wrong, or does tinystar Jess every now and again write to the list promising to take off yet another item of clothing? There is in fact a photo of me with me vest on somewhere on the net, but I imagine it's less alluring, somehow... School uniform - until I was 13, I had to wear a crimson blazer to school, which gave the local thugs an extremely easy target. There was a lot more trouble between the local girls' schools, though - just before I left, there were reports of vanloads of police having to break up a running battle at Wimbledon station between 50 girls, armed with knives, bike chains etc. Must have been quite a sight, if not terribly Belle and Sebastian. I'm going to buy a football for Bowlie.

Sinister: My deal with Looper, falling for your friends, everything really
by Brandt S. Fundak 14 Apr '99

14 Apr '99

I feel like utter crap right now, only having gotten two hours of sleep. But I will get to that in a second. Okay I have been listening to Looper quite a bit lately and while I do love it, something bothers me the more I listen to it. And that would be that most of the music of every song is duplicated in at least one other songs. I call like 7 of the songs "Treehouse songs" because they all involve the same melody and are usually about a treehouse. At first I found it cute, even enchanting, but now it is statring to annoy. Has the shelf life on this album passed for other people on the list too? Anyway, went over to one of my really good friend's apt. last night and got involved in tales of her recent lovelife and it turned into a conversation about my feelings for her really. I ended up staying there until 6:30. Nothing happened. I'm a moron. Okay, off to hear how much of a loser I am from my advisor. Talk to you later.

Sinister: just asking
by Jordi Trenzano i Vilar 14 Apr '99

14 Apr '99

IŽm making the 2nd issue of my B&S zine, and IŽm having problems to get information about Evie Sands. I know her discography (IŽve checked the All-Music site) but there are some questions that I need to know: -The album "Suspended animation" was sang only by Dusty Springfield ? -Who collaborated with her at the "Anyway that you want me" album ? -Did the NME or any other sort a review of the B&S & Evie S. gig ? -Does anybody know a website where I can get some pictures of her ? If you can help me, then IŽd be very thankful. Please - E-Mail me at my other address: 0291942a01(a)abonados.cplus.es If the one who answers me goes to the Bowlie, then we can talk about some free drinking or anything else..... ================================================== Jordiet ================================================== Tu E-Mail Gratis en http://www.olemail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: not much really
by JaMeS 14 Apr '99

14 Apr '99

hello boys and girls, a dreaded sunny day, for once, the sun is shhhinee-ing something lovely. Pretty good review of the GW london gig in NME, but they didnt play Weathershow did they? maybe my patchy memory is getting the better of me again i dont know...yeah, and the reviews of the album are getting better, Flipside liked it, and the reviewer in Mojo also liked it - 'twee but nice' was the general concensus. i cant type them up cos i didnt buy the mags, i just read them in WH Smiths this morning, im a cheapskate. Aw, and i also just looked at the Jeepster Bowlie page - the page with spare tickets, as i entertained visions of me somehow being able to afford to go, now im sad :( i like that Badly drawn boy song, he sounds like john lennon. anyway, hope you all have a GRRREEAT time at Bowlie!!!

Sinister: Holiday camps
by Linda Kerr 14 Apr '99

14 Apr '99

Hi chaps Read at the weekend that the Kosovan refugees may be housed in holiday camps in the UK. What better introduction to UK culture than Bowlie? However, crap council houses will probably be nearer the truth. Anybody else a wee bit scared at the thought of Bowlie in all this snow and frost?

Sinister: Re : Just a quickie...
by L. Kerr 14 Apr '99

14 Apr '99

..before I go to renew my devotion to Lord Jesus Christ and all his little helpers. Sister Disco, a lady in a grey velvet swing jacket was in the audience, at the Gentle Waves, shepherding an even older lady, who may have been Isobel's gran. The lack of an old dog made identification completely certain. I certainly enjoyed the Gentle Waves concert, although it was maybe a wee bit gentle and wavy. I had this vision of Isobel crooning in the corner of a supper club in France just before the German occupation, and thought, hmm "that would work". The songs on their own perhaps did not stand up to the examination conditions of a concert. I like the album - especially the cowboy song. Cowboy songs are great. Tell me a bad one. Go on. The picnic was well up to the usual standard of non-picnicness, being conducted in a locked concrete amphitheatre and afterwards in a pub, where Chris Leonard made Philadelphia Cheese and Chive sandwiches for everyone, and the barman also tried to sell us a copy of Tigermilk. Dr Who was filmed on Camber Sands? That must have been a big budget production.

Sinister: You Have Nothing to Fear but Rejection
by Mick McMick * Sandcastle Records 14 Apr '99

14 Apr '99

Hello, Blake that is my advice to you. In other news, I really enjoyed that Q article. More of amusement than general pleasantness. I think the articles are an interesting way to see how the world views the band and us. Well, maybe the press aren't a good representation of the rest of the world, but they're closer than we not quite normal fans, aren't they? You know, I just realized something. For as much as I liked the new Looper, I haven't really listened to it that much. Maybe it's the timing or something, but I've heard the same thing about them before. I'm now quite curious to hear the Gentle Waves (doesn't it sound like a New Age tape?) after hearing everyone and their 2nd cousin twice removed say they are wonderful. Come to think of it, has anyone said anything bad? I think most of the people who don't like Isobel or her songs to begin with are avoiding her, so maybe that's it. Wah, so why do we get the release a month late? Oh well, no matter... And I'm still waiting for news on that single that'll come out before the album, since I figure the news on the album won't come until after that. Oh yes, out of curiosity (I'm sure I've spelled that wrong somehow) I joined that *other* B&S list, and I just want you all to know that there is little for you to be jealous of - literally! I think that other than the Jeepster stuff which we got on this list there was only one message so far and I've lost track of how many day's I've been subscribed, but it's something like a week. Oh! I almost forgot the message which said "subscribe." So that's two messages. To put you in perspective, PJ Miller's posts are probably double or triple that of the entire non-news output of the Jeepster B&S list. Plus we also need to take into account that Mister Miller's posts are 200-300% funnier than most, so somehow you have to put that into the formula. I don't know how to do it, I stopped taking math at Algebra 2. They say that Leonardo da Vinci wrote in his diary backwards with his left hand and drew sketches of engineering marvels in the margins with his right. Doesn't that make you feel like an underachiever? I thought so. Oh, and I hope I'm the last one to comment on the bird attack thread, but one Fabio was recently attacked by a goose whilst he debuted a rollercoaster for a popular theme park. If memory serves, the vicious beady-eyed goose tore some 2" long scratches on his face. Ow! Now I bet you all don't feel as silly running from those geese when they chased after you. It's not the bread that they're after boy, it's you. Hm...I think I'll quit now before my puns get worse.

Sinister: Re: sinister-digest V3 #117, Richard Hell, Dr Who, Sinister Babies....
by Richard.Lander＠mw.com 14 Apr '99

14 Apr '99

Having read the Digest which I subscribe to at work (to sneakily read when the boss is out) I saw some things which I have to respond to. Besides I haven't written if for, ooooh, simply ages anyway. Mr Trousers wrote >This interesting page tells us that an episode of Colin Baker-era Dr Who was shot at Camber Sands. >The title of the episode, rather mysteriously was "Terror of the Vervoids". Nah. It was the story after Terror of the Vervoids. The one where its revealed that Michael Jayston is the Doctors evil alter ego. I can't remember what the name of this story was but I bet someone out there knows. The other filming that went on at Camber Sands was 'Carry On - Follow That Camel', way way back in the sixties. Martin Rissbrook wrote >Has the first Sinister baby been born/conceived yet? I think theres been other Sinister babies but yeah, we have our own small personette name of Victoria Avalon Lander born on 12 December 1998. Now 4 months old she sits on my knee (with a bit of help from me) and watches the computer when I read my Sinister mail/Stephinsongs email. Happy Songkran, Thai New Year. Start throwing water at people now.

Sinister: from the boy who plays bass guitar...
by Blake E. Hamilton 14 Apr '99

14 Apr '99

Dear Hamsters, I haven't posted in a while, so I hope that this blurb isn't stale nor belittling in any fashion. What I'm really writing for is advice, so let me tell you all the entire story. My friend and I went into town today for a lunch, and upon walking into the restaurant, I was greeted with the most saintly vision these sunken in eyes have ever seen--true beauty in the form of a little 17 year old dark haired girl-hostess (i'm 18, by the way, for clarification), with an orange/red dress on. As she seated us, I knew that I was witnessing a true act of perfection. My friend, who to a lesser extent also acknowledged the girl's beauty, didn't believe my declaration of love at first sight. Although she didn't wait on us, she was in my eyeshot for the entire meal, and I couldn't eat. I don't remember parts of the meal that well. My senses were shot out like breakaway glass--total euphoric bliss. So here's the tricky part--do I say something to her? Well I couldn't today, but the idea of returning solely to gaze upon her light brown locks has been mentioned, and I can't risk the idea of letting perfection pass by me like twilight, and leave amidst a shroud. So can anyone tell me what to do? The thought of a measely little customer randomly running to the front of the restaurant to strike up a conversation with the hostess will take more than guts and a good plan. B&S content--upon leaving the restaurant and gazing back, i dubbed her (nameless as of now) The Girl with the Fiery Gown. I figured everyone here would get a wee kick out of that. an eternal wish for bliss, wrapped in boxes, and sold separately with happy meals, blake +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
