Sinister: they tuck you up, your mum and dad

06 May '99

Apologies for sending a brief mail of no interest to a great many of you, but the venerable poetry cafe is holding another social tomorrow night (friday 7 may), and anthony from hefner will be playing a gig in honour of his splendid new single. For full details go here >>> http://www.belleandsebastian.co.uk/cgi-bin/mboard/belle/thread.cgi?161,0 There will be many opportunities for mutual ego masturbation involving the sinister metrosexuals. I promise I'll write something proper soon to atone for this flagrant list abuse, tata Stevie Trousers xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Fattipuffs and Thinifers
by Mark Casarotto 06 May '99

06 May '99

Hello Sinister, This is kind of sort of talking about the list, so I'll make it brief, Hunny, promise, but I wanted to apologise for sounding so cliquey and in-crowd-wannabe in my last post. I've had a couple of people mention that reading posts full of irrelevancies about people they've never met enjoying themselves (because they're lucky/extrovert enough to attend regular get-togethers) doesn't do a lot for them, and my last note was the apotheosis of mutual "cool set" masturbation (in a purely metaphorical sense, you understand). It won't happen again, or at least I'll make the effort of saying something worthwhile as well in my next post... :) There isn't really an in-crowd at all - no-one whatsoever should feel left out of anything, and that's that. Just some of us with big mouths and bigger egos shouting louder than everyone else. Ignore us and we'll, erm, sulk, probably... I like chocolate, and chocolate likes me, Mark xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: boring billionth post, nothing special...
by Tim Hopkins 06 May '99

06 May '99

Hello campers. I've been waiting ages for an important message. I've been holding my breath for so long that one lung has burst. I need the other lung to be able to smoke my cigs. So perhaps I'll amuse myself by boring you for a bit. Lovely to see so many graduates from the Sinister Nursery of Correction and Hard Knocks feeling like saying hello. Hello! I tell you what...let's do the show right here! Mr John JJ John J wrote all the way from Seahouses: >Here's some of my Bowlie pics, and a couple from the pub the night >before in Farringdon, I won't say who they are of, so as to leave an >air of mystery. Rachel and I are dancing to 'Ring of Fire' though. Well, I'm very glad that there are others on the list whose drunken impostors are uglier than they are. Phew. Lovely Francis said: >And the duo that played first was good also. They played a cover of >the >Smiths and another wonderful cover (?) that I wasn't able to >recognise. They were good, weren't they? They are the Foxgloves, who are Steven Trousers of this fair Parish, playing with Gary Brooker, who used to be the lead singer in Procol Harum, and who is now living the life of Riley collecting royalties following Mercury Rev's Procol cover versions. They (the Foxgloves)were covering the remarkably brilliant 'Travelogue' by Glo-Worm. Mmmm. >Respect goes to the Duke. Doesn't it, though, always? >Is there anyone of you in those picture? and who is who? There is a picture of someone pretending to be me. He's the fellow who used to go round pretending to be Stanley Kubrick, but he can't get away with that any more, so he's decided to be me. Most inconvenient. jennifer added: >hello you pishrogues. Pishrogues?! That is the single finest new word I've heard since I discovered the word 'cheese'. You what, Rob? >Carried a CD of my band around to give to John Peel but I never saw >him. >Was he even there? Yeah, he was there drinking with us, him and his lovely daughter. He seemed to know loads about the Sinister list, but I knew it was him cos he was on about the Incredible String Band. What? Oh, you mean that...? Oh. Oh. I'm glad it wasn't John Peel. Sam said: >Back then, when I searched for B&S the only web page I found was Andy >Dean's, it's amazing how much things have changed in just under two >years. But Deano's cave just gets hairier and hairier. >Did anyone catch the Looper? If you did, I think you can get some sort of ointment for it these days. Mister David Moore Chelmsford UK, who is more fun than John bloomin' Peel anyway, said: >my first big gig (Knebworth 1) was 25 years ago, so >they're re-releasing the posters of the 74-76 gigs. >Tim, Mr P!O!Pkins probably missed his heroes >Pink Floyd headlining because he hadn't even started school yet in >75. Actually, I was there, aged 5, standing in the front row and spitting at them, calling them stupid sweaty hippies and telling them to get their bleedin' hair cut. At school, I mean, talking to the teachers. Every teacher in Devon ever was a hippy. Apart from my Dad. Talking of sweaty, I went to the toilet a little while ago and there was someone in one of the stalls grunting like a stuck buffalo. I was entertaining the entertaining thought that his arsehole had been sewn up in his sleep by his disgruntled wife, and that he was straining to pop the stitches. And then I thought of you lot. I have no idea why. Sorry Cliff. That's probably about enough of that, isn't it? Cheerio Tim This mail has been brought to you today by the word 'Oh', the thought 'ugh', and the concept 'gratuitous'. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

by PAUL J GARDINER 06 May '99

Dear all, I found this on a small bit of crumpled-up paper in the pub last night Dundee University Students Union Dallas 2 presents special guest dj's from Belle & Sebastian Friday 7th May 1999 4 pounds to get in. Anyone know who it is going to be?....I would guess it will be Chris Geddes but it sounds like there will be more than one person. If anyone is going then mail me to arrange a meet up. I can also get a couple of people signed in.

So, my name is Bertrand, I am french and guess what, I love Belle and Sebastian. I am in Stockholm(sweden) for few month. I arrived here in april. So I would like to know if there are much B&S listies here... and if so if there are some stuffs done between them...In fact, I don't know much peple here and I don't speak swedish(exept hej,tack, ja, nej, hejdå,pendeltåg et tunnelbannan and maybe some more)and so if some of you could indicates me stuffs about Stockholm (good record stores...) it would be very nice... Has anyone tried to figure out in which country are situated the biggest part of B&S fans... I think it should be UK or France but well... I may be wrong...

Sinister: Stephen Dalton

You can just tell that whatever it had been like, he didn't >>want to be there, and would have found something to moan about anyway. What >>a cynical young man. I met SD at Bowlie. He's about 40 and looks like a caveman. He said he hates festivals, doesn't understand the appeal of B&S and was staying in a hotel. God knows why the NME chose him to do that piece. He was clearly there against his will and hated everything about it. They should have got John Mulvey to write it, He spent the entire weekend grinning like a mad fool, but that could have been more about the drugs Mogwai fed him than the music or the atmosphere...
