As to a get together for US fans in NYC: That would be nice, really, although I've never been there before, and don't know anything about the geography of it. I'm sure I could find some sort of relative in the area who would let me stay with them. I promise to bring many of my friends and loved ones who fancy Belle and Sebastian. Incidentally, I just found out that one of you lovely sinisterines lives in the same town as me! and, humorously enough, lives about 15 minutes away.. if I wasn't so shy and tw**, perhaps i would locate these people through means other than the internet... cheers dave.. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

So... Select magazine said our list is just a lot of smut? Hmmm...nothing wrong with that although I think we are more than just the occasional primal hormonal posting. Could it be a Select April Fool's gag?

Sinister: Watoo Watoo News
by Michael Korchia 02 Apr '99

02 Apr '99

Hi, I guess this is OK with list netiquette (I read it!) Let me announce the release of the new Watoo Watoo CDep, & a Watoo Watoo gig... Let's start with this one. For the ones who missed us in San Francisco last week, we're playing in Paris, on Sunday, in 'Le Pop'in', 105 rue Amelot, near la Bastille, at 7 pm. This will be during the Queer Indie Tea, a weekly party organized by our friends from Popingay. Pascale will sing, I'll play the bass & guitar & Guillaume, from Gypsophile, will play the guitars. & we've just released a new CDep! One of the songs, Back & Safe, was written while i was listening to IYFS 5 times a day (looking at the title initials & listening to the song, this is quite easy to guess). This is the label blurb: *********************************** Ever-so-slightly behind schedule... Radio Khartoum presents the follow up to (the already out-of-print) "Un Peu de Moi": "Picture of a Lost Friend" by WATOO WATOO Six new pieces by our favorite Parisian duo, which, fortunately for all involved, have weathered the delays beautifully. The mini album features two jazzy songs ("The Golden Castle" and "L'Ennui") and a simple, sentimental instrumental ("Dans le Train") which were originally produced for 18fps (but rejected so that we could insist on making a Watoo Watoo CD instead); an exquisite example of what we call "driving music" (see Jim Jarmusch's "Stranger than Paradise" for the origin of this phrase; see Cessna's "Continental Diner" for another musical example of the genre), oddly enough named after a street (Alcatraz Avenue); a song which we will simply describe as quintessential Watoo Watoo: quick, upbeat and yet vaguely sad (Back and Safe); and finishes with the hummingbird worthy (at 194 BPM) and appropriately titled "I Could Never Run That Fast." Memory and separation may be the key to these songs, but if we mention that, it's only because it's something that one doesn't notice about Watoo Watoo right away. The music complements the wistful lyrics with lightness and whimsy. If Club 8 were a bit lighter on their feet and had French accents, perhaps... And a taste for Martin Duffy era Felt. Gorgeous guest performances by guitarists Didier Duclos (Christine) and Antoine Chabert (ex-Yachines) run throughout. This six song 3" CD may can be obtained from the finest international pop mailorder sources, as well as directly from Radio Khartoum for U.S. $7, postpaid to any destination in the world. Checks or money orders should be in U.S. funds and payable to Alexander Bailey. Radio Khartoum also accepts crispy paper money from some countries (please inquire). Those sending cash are cautioned to be discreet as Radio Khartoum cannot be responsible for cash lost in the mail. Radio Khartoum 722 Alcatraz Ave. No. 106 Oakland CA 94609 USA mailto:xander@sirius.com http://www.sirius.com/~xander/rk ******************************** (of course, you can also buy the CD directly from me) __^o^__ Michael Korchia mkorchia(a)club-internet.fr Watoo Watoo Homepage : http://www.multimania.com/watoo/ Mumbly Homepage : http://www.multimania.com/aurore/emumbly.htm +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

>I'm off to Glasgow tomorrow to see Anne and Chris and Julia and Keef, >we're going to Spy if anyone's interested in coming. Shyness and >xylophones are strictly forbidden. Yes indeed, anyone who's about should come along... Just to confirm, when Tag says we're "Going to spy" he doesn't mean we're all going to hang outside of Ca Va trying to find out what Belle and Sebastian's next move is, what he means is that we're going to "Spy" which is a poncy looking bar on Bath Street - to drink beer. Oh and girls - if you're coming, I know it's taboo, but be sure to remember to bring your sanitary products. If anyone's confused, if you do come along, I look like my picture on this page (keithpissed) when pissed up. http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/people.html Tag - mail me and let me know what time you are turning up!

Sinister: The Pee/Dough Files
by PJMiller 02 Apr '99

02 Apr '99

A big round of applause for Papercuts fanzine editor Stephen Trouss6 for sending in that marvellous article. I think we all came out of it very well, especially JJ and Rachel, who got married because of Belle and Sebastian. I bet Linda was laughing at the same thing that made me guffaw in a very un-ladylike manner. Paul, I think it's high time you updated our footers. Tag said he didn't recognise himself in the article, but I bloody well did. Something about staff rooms, I think. Tag also wrote: Three weeks till St Moumoune's Day Is this one of those coded lovey-dovey messages? Any road, you'll be thrilled to learn that our special tidy little community has hit the newstands in sunny Spain as well, in Fluffy's favourite paper El País, in the special section for groovy young people with tattoos. I t has a picture of a Scotch sex kitten surrounded by three ugly ugly ugly boys, all looking at some poxy book. GUERILLA IN THE PRIZES How to stop the most horrible artists always winning prizes? Belle and Sebastian were competing in the revelation group category of the Brit Awards against prfabricated products more popular than them, like 5ive or Another Level. As this prize is decided by the votes of Radio One listeners, the Scots made a call to their fans via Internet for them to lend their support, putting forward the argument that it was a unique opportunity to "give an enormous rude gesture involving putting your fist over your elbow and raisng your arm as if it was an erect penis (you know what I mean) to the music industry". More than 9000 responded, and the group took the prize home to the amazement of everybody - this would never happen in Spain: thanks to the democratic election systems of our awards, The Ear of Van Gogh and Malú can be sure of their deserved statuettes-. --------------------- Well, they seem to have got half the story right. I wonder how much dosh they're offering for the other half? By the way, the dictionary said "V-sign" but I thought that was a bit too rough and unsophisticated for our lot, and I don't know the word for the "charmante" continental equivalent, and besides, why should Trouss6's scanner get all the attention? Right, I'm off to watch Real Madrid youth team against Moscow Dynamo or Dynamo Moscow's youth team on our local footy field. I'm rooting for the Ruskies.

Sinister: The night shift
by Molly 02 Apr '99

02 Apr '99

Cool! I like the strain of events that showed up in my mailbox today. I just laughed laughed laughed at Honey's misquote, or rather, his being misquoted, and now the U.S.ers are showing up for the night shift. I always think about what time it must be over the sea, and when prime e-mail time is in the U.K.. It appears to be around 3 pm EST. So while far away the *other* time zone is sleeping the clock around, Ma in her kerchief and Honey in his cap, we can provide a little morning surprize when they check their morning mail. When I first bought TBWTAS I thought that the beginning of one of the songs sounded a lot like a Yo La Tengo song, but today when I tried to recall it I had listened to both too many times to be able to discern which ones I thought to be so similar. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? It will probably come to me soon (right after I press send, no doubt). I find the thought of a fox in the snow tattoo extremely enticing.Too bad I am rather a wimp at needles. I tried to draw one near my foot, my handiwork in gel pen a poor substitute for professional sharp things. My cute scribblings turned out more like a cow. It's a pretty nice, friendly looking cow though. Then I was daydreaming about my new computer (uh, seeing as how I'm nowhere near a purchase maybe I shouldn't use the term "my") and tried to mimic the Apple typeface right on the bottom of my left foot. It didn't look so hot either. And then I realized it was a bit... oh, obsessive. So I made it plural and made the cow a grocery list ('cept I spelled bannana wrong, oh so wrong). I liked it so much that I took a picture and put it as my wallpaper.

B&S really should have some sort of get-together here in the states sometime... well, it's april fool's day, and I've gotten my big prank! How 'bout you? I've heard that the scots enjoy it so much it takes 2 days.. the old "kick me" signs still get a laugh.. well, I've made my first post. How bout you?
