Sinister: ..dream number 2...
by Marianne Bratlie 12 May '99

12 May '99

Just thought I should tell you all about my second B&S dram ,(can`t remember the first one, had it at yhe bowlie festival) In this dream, I searched for something, somewhere, I was walking across the countrie, and, well whatever, it was a long walk, and suddenly I saw a footballfield, with a sign beside it (or somebody told me about it). It said that this was where the sinisters met, Belle and Sebastian were there acasionally as well. Next week there was going to be a "belle and Sebastian" birthday party, and I was thrilled with joy, looking forward to join it. ....well, I could say some more, but I haven`t got the time. Looking forward to get trough the 156 unread mails from the list...

Sinister: Hello, hello It's good to be back
by stephen hewitt 12 May '99

12 May '99

Hi there everyone, old married man here. I got back to work yesterday and had about 350 sinister posts to read, fortunately it was very quiet and my speed reading is good so I got through most of them and finished them off this morning (and am very glad I didn't unsub, as the bowlie posts were ace, as was the lyric/music discussion). I know it's horrendously late but Bowlie really was superb, mainly because of the sinister extended family. Any newbies out there who are feeling a bit shy about going to picnics, meetups etc, DON'T. Everyone is completely lovely (I'm pretty much a newbie myself). For those of you who are interested, the wedding went fantastically. Meg (Mrs CarsmileSteve) looked beautiful, the weather was gorgeous and everyone had a lovely day. Following on from the never ending thread of Belle & Seb dreams, I have a slightly new twist, BOWLIE Dreams!!! I dreamed that I was at a Bowlie kind of thing and was talking to Isobel and all my friends from Cheltenham were there too. But the main thing was that around the site was a huge 100 ft high wall with big metal spikes at the top, as though the Bowlie was being held in a prison camp or something (but we were still having an ace time). I also had a dream about the list itself, but I can't remember much about it...(I think it was just because I was missing you all, it's not easy to find a cyber cafe in the Algarve (honeymoon destination)). Once again, it's lovely to be back in the bosom of sinister xoxo CarsmileSteve ---------------------------------------------- carsmilesteve(a)geocities.com visit our website http://fast.to/carsmile 'So tell me what have you got?

Sinister: More about rice pudding
by Halliday, Ian 12 May '99

12 May '99

It was a very long time ago that rice pudding started to be more than just something to eat. A group of renegades at a festival apparently had nothing else to eat and spent their time shouting "Rice pudding!" instead of the more usual "Wally!" Not long after, I discovered one of these people advertising his dubious history by using the aforementioned product as a session name on the department computer. We became good friends after that, and I am still able to quote his little poem on the subject. Some dream of semolina And some of apple pie But without my rice pudding I know I'd surely die. Ambrosia Rice Pudding Is creamy, smooth and nice. I never will dessert (!) you, Ambrosia Creamed Rice. So the question is this: does anybody know what happened to Ewan all those years ago? Maybe Mr Sallis could help me on this one, as he obviously speaks with considerable authority about rice pudding and champagne, two of life's staple foods. And what does this have to do with B&S, a group so obscure here in New Zealand that I would probably never have heard of them but for the fact that I was introduced to them by Honey, who was at the same high school as me in Angleterre, and who obviously saw them as worthwhile. CDnow had a special offer a while back which enabled me to get hold of a copy of IYFS for next-to-nothing so I did. And now the New Zealand newspapers have found about B&S and are writing beautiful reviews of Arab Strap. And none of this would have meant anything to me if I hadn't stumbled across Honey's website. Ah, the stories I could tell about him, but cannot because he would moderate any of the stories I posted out of existence....

Sinister: tostados......
by Alix Campbell 11 May '99

Rah! Hallo! it's quite late and i'm quite tired so my sense of CliffRichardy is near gone and i shall post, and then regret it. like when you think singing to Steps is a good idea. and trying to get other people to understand just why the hand movements are essential. 'tragedy' you cry, as everyone else looks at you like you've got small domestic mammal (ie a kitten) attached to your elbow with a length of cheesewire. oh yeh. anyway, i just saw Happiness. i got quite bored. and it was so long i missed my train. too many sub plots and subsubplots. rob quoth: >.P.S. whoever recommended going to see >Prolapse, you've made my mind up - i >shall go tomorrow. But if they're pish, >i shall be forced to kill you. i'd rather you didn't kill me. ta :) anyway, they'll be good, and you'll buy a little badge and wear it clashingly with all your B&S badges. prolapse were very good. i fancy linda steelyard. sort of. ;) there's a photo of someone posing as me, circulating, from bowlie, i'd just like to say that i don't really look that nice, and i believe a tim hopkins esque impostor may be involved. or rather an impostor imposing in the style that the tim hopkins impostor imposed as tim hopkins did. i think something went wrong there, with the words and all that, you know. what i might possibly be saying is that it's a very misleading photo...ok? oh fuck it is now almost 1 in the morning and i shall be compelled to oversleep tomorrow morning. again. bye alix.x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Hello. I am looking for the lad named Alex who used the photo of Belle that was inside TBWTAS gatefold to make a poster. There is a photo of it on the Sinister site. I would like to get a copy of that poster if it is possible.....

Sinister: Bowliepics
by David Moore 11 May '99

Hi All You Namblers'n'Pamblers, Vacillated, vainly, eventually vanity prevailed, so have to advise you view Vicky's vicarious B&S Bowlie visions, now viewable on the Sinisterweb @ http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/cgi-local/photo.cgi?gallery=concerts Thrill to Struanguitar, Struanbass, Struantrumpet, Struanpiano & Struanarmsofsax. According to Vicky she thrust her camera on me just before they came on. Hope they'd read the pre-Bowlie packing advice page thoroughly first :) And for all you 60's retro-heads, apparently Lee Hazelwood is playing his first gig in about 25 years at the Festival Hall next month. If interested, I can forward you a long mail about it & his new album.

Sinister: second goes after first
by Arantxa Sanz 11 May '99

11 May '99

Hey! Isobel's contribution to P-O-P has arrived to the pages of Impact,our Uni student magazine.How trendy and t*** we are! Mmmm, I am off to send you some anonymous Steve (not Just-Wed Carsmile, I guess)opinions : 'Featuring players from Belle & Sebastian'the surprisingly discreet sticker announces.The Gentle Waves are Isobel Campbell,cello player in the aforementioned octet and as many other memebers of that band as each song requires .It's a nice album ,not a pot more.It reeks of inexperience and unconfidence(people who 've seen B&S 's live performances will know of Isobel's legendary stagefright)but when , on occasion, she overcomes this there are bright flashes of potential.'Weathershow'is something that Stereolab would be proud of , Rose I love you is a reworked of 'El Condor pasa' and 'Evensong ' is the happiest,most instanta song of the year.I expect she'll make a great third album. That Steve seems to me a psychology student , I don't know exactly why. I promise some research into the reviewer's identity to confirm my first impression. All that stress on Isobel's coyness sounds like if in his next lines he were to offer his 'Self confidence for performers ' workshop Love Arantxa +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Beardy scottish men

David J. wrote >I stood next to a bloke who looked a bit like Mick Derrick from Prolapse at >The Fall's gig in birmingham last week. He lives in Leicester doesn't he? Oooooooh, celebrity story coming up. I RAN AWAY FROM PROLAPSE! They were supporting the Delgado's at the Charlotte in Leicester and they were sitting upstairs in the bar after their set. I went to go and put my coat in the cloak room and they started commenting on my Arab Strap t-shirt, saying things like "he's a beardy scottish man" and "that's a total rip off of the atlantic lable". I got scared of them and ran away really quickly. The whole experience made me feel quite flustered. Cliff Richard probably wouldn't send this post. Sorry! Love Beth t.

Sinister: Arsenic be judge, gin be jury, the chocolate's watching, the cuckoos are clockin
by Sam Devere 11 May '99

11 May '99

At the risk of being banned from this list for attending the Robbie Williams show, I have to share the following bits. When the band came out I vaguely recognized the lass playing keyboards. I couldn't recall where I'd seen her, so I didn't think much of it, till Robbie introduced her as Claire Worrell (sp?). That set off alarms in my head, ok now I know I've seen that name, but where? It took me a while, but halfway through the show I recalled that she is the newest member of the recently reformed Lilac Time -- very bizzarre. Maybe Stephen Duffy, Alex James and Robbie Williams will band together. The name Me Me Me would be perfect for Robbie's ego. He also mentioned the name of another band mate as Guy Chambers, is this the same Guy from World Party? At one point, Robbie tossed his cap into the audience and it came whirring like a frisbee, I realized it's heading right for me. I jumped and caught it. Then I was mauled and nearly tackled, lost the hat, lost my beloved cap on my head and my watch. Someone handed me the watch, but I never saw the other two items. I felt like the remnants of Jack Nicholson's body in his MTV celebrity death match when, after defeating Leonardo DiCap, he was ripped to pieces by Leonardo's fans.

Sinister: Humm, Robert Forster, sounds a bit like Robert Foster doesn't it.

I saw Prolapse in Aldershot's West End Centre about a year ago. I strongly recommend that you have a good time. They have to be one of the biggest bands I've ever seen - there's about 14 people in it I mean. There are two lead singers, a bloke and a really short woman, anyway, the bloke had a crate of Stella and he was keeping it all to him self, I reckon he necked about five while they were on stage, there were already a few cans missing and when they finished he picked the crate up and held it like you would hold a woman, tightly to his chest and then bugged off. The polite thing was that he drank from a pint glass and not from a can, the glass later doubled up as an interesting sound effect thing; he emptied the glass down his throat and put it onto of the microphone and started to shout into it. I didn't understand a word he was saying. But I came out of the West End Centre thoroughly impressed with the performance I'd just been subjected to. And the Belle and Sebastian connection in this email is: They both come from Sctoland. ******** The Girl From CITV Is A Bit Chubby - A Twinklin And A Winklin In Her Eye. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
