Sinister: Part 1 of my therapy.....
by Pete Ramsdale 06 May '99

Cheers Big Stu for the response. Hmmmm. Forgot quite a lot of things there. Actually I knew that David and Katrina aren't on the list at the moment. I was just testing. And Katherine's the tea-girl at Jeepster. Honest. But I'm so happy that I've now only one major life problem I have to worry about succumbing to. Now, can anyone tell me a decent way of getting over a disastrous pantomime experience at an early age?? I'm off, now, never to darken the doors of sinister again after such a plainly badly-thought out request. Actually, that's a lie, but you can all dream for a while, at least. p xx. ---------------------------*||*------------------------------ Life is full of regrets, and I've had a few, as Frank Sinatra once sang, before hiccuping loudly and falling over sideways.

Sinister: Re: You're a bold coquette and you dress outlandishly...
by Pete Ramsdale 06 May '99

As a bit of a reply, Sam (for what it counts): I use the word moniker a lot. It's definitely a word. Or at least it is in my house. Think it came from afrikaans, or something. Afrikaans for what, I'm not quite sure, but there you go. Probably "name". Come to think of it, it's quite a good word. It's the kind of word I'd use when sidling up to my boss with another holiday form that I know he's not going to sign off. "Erm, could you stick yer moniker on that for us, please...." Never bloody works. Oh well. "Moniker", however, is definitely not the best word in the world, though. That honour, in my opinion, belongs to the word "moist", which, quite frankly, gives me the raging horn. Meanwhile, back at the ranch....... Ah yes. Saint Etienne. Well worth the price of your average ticket+booking fee, imho. I must however admit, before I go any further, that Sarah Cracknell does occupy a very special place in my heart, being as she is one of the most gorgeous women I have ever had the incredible good fortune to clap eyes on. And she can sing, too. Bonus. Having got that little admission out of the way, I will swiftly go on to say that I saw them at V98, and although they got a right slating by the music press (arseholes that they are), I loved it. She stared right at me you know. Honest. And smiled. Mind you that was probably because all the rest of the crowd were grooving in a chic 70's-cheese stylee, whilst I was jumping up and down like a mad bastard. I do, however prefer to think that she spotted me in the crowd and got moist. See? Told you. Top word...... :-) Finally getting to the topic of B&S, could we puleeeeze have an end to these rumours of various release dates for Tigermilk and get one of the Jeepster marketing/merchandising/whatever people (sorry for possibly dropping you in it, here, Katherine and David) to confirm the actual one agreed? The whole thing is driving me nuts, and my psychiatrist recommends that unless someone kindly furnishes me with an actual release date, and I come to terms with the long-term hurt that was inflicted on me when my parents took me to see Little and Large and the Nolan Sisters in pantomime as a kid, that I will never be normal. Bugger. Well, that's about it for now. Except, that is, in the vain hope that Sarah Cracknell is a big B&S fan and has joined this list under some strange pseudonym, to say to her that I'm not doing anything particularly much next tuesday if she wants to pop down to Colchester. Dribble, indeed....... lol p xx. ---------------------------*||*------------------------------ Life is full of regrets, and I've had a few, as Frank Sinatra once sang, before hiccuping loudly and falling over sideways.

Sinister: Just like spring rain over Melbourne...
by Craig-Lee Thompson 05 May '99

05 May '99

Hello all, I realise this is non-B&S but I can not help myself. It was moving, nostalgic, current and restored any faith that I may have lost in fine music. It was one of those gigs where you come away mystified, one as to how this band never reached the fame deserved and two as to how they could be so utterly fine. There was Robert Forster, suave, emotive, poetic, passionate, honest and there was Grant McLennan, genuine, melodic and short. Together they played the songs of The Go-Betweens before a full house in Melbourne, I urge any who should be so fortunate as to have these two performers come by your town... Go and see them!!! Good night and thankyou, Craig-Lee... Melbourne Picnic: May 15th.....Nightcat, Fitzroy..... It's on..... Smiths & Morrissey and Bible studies... ______________________________________________________ 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".

Sinister: Um...so...I'm allowed to talk now?
by CALLENDAR R 05 May '99

05 May '99

Oh good. Hello. Hello Sinister persons. Sinisterines. As you can tell I've just been released from the pit of virtual ignorance and youth that is the nursery. It's torture in there, you know. All these emails flying at you which you are forced to read, enjoy and store away in your mind before you are allowed to respond. But it was nice all the same... I read about the list in Select. But I have been a fan of B&S since Lazy Line Painter Jane. I just didn't think about looking for a website. I'm not one for remembering lyrics, because I prefer the tunes. Anyway, without any further annoyance on my part I thought I'd tell you who I am, why I'm here e.t.c e.t.c useless and highly likely boring information which you probably don't want to read. My name is Rob and I like Belle and Sebastian. Yes, I do. I'm 19, twenty in twelve days. I'm a student. I guess alot of other B&S fans are students too. But I also guess that alot aren't. That's a warming fact to know. Anyway, I study Theatre and Media Drama and Geography at the University of Glamorgan in Wales. It's a horrible place, with nasty 1960's archetecture that makes me sad. And the only place to go out is Cardiff, which is rubbish. No one's heard of Belle and Sebastian. And they all wear Kappa. I'm not sure if I fit into the whole twee thing, because I like to go out clubbing in indie clubs, as well as being forced to listen to Steps in gay clubs by my friends which I hate, and most of my favourite bands are not very twee. But some are. My favourite club of all time is Popstarz in London. I saw a girl with a Bowlie wrist band in there on Friday last. Hello to that girl if you are on the list! Here's my website http://www.angelfire.com/ga/yindiescene which details my life and if a resource on the genre of music which I liek and the lifestyle I lead. Please look at it and leave a message in the guestbook, even if it is just a 'Hello'. Thank you for being so kind. I like this list. I hope you will learn to like me. Good bye for now. //ROB xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: nothing much, delete if you want

boo to the business world...and all you sinisterines out there. somewhere. i was too skint to go to bowlie and are too shy to go to any deliciously frisky picnics, and i'm now beginning to feel that all you lovely people don't really exist. or you do, but in some magical land that i'll never quite reach, all having a fantastic cardie-wearing time without me. or maybe i'm just feeling sorry for myself; post-nursery blues or something. alisa and thaian n ton brought up the self esteem thing in relation to stuart sex on legs murdoch's lyrics yesterday (or the day before, or at some point, whatever. i read them yesterday anyway). i'm with alisa on this. given that llpj was the 1st b&s thing i owned i listened to it over and over and ov... and i really identified with poor old jane. and all though it was a bit upsetting recognising myself as lonely and single with an obsession with bus rides, it made me feel better. the same with expectations and mary jo, as well as iyfs and judy and her rather kinky horse dreams. not the horses bit mind. i'm not so into the whole animal thing i'll have you know, but mainly the bit about walking the streets from noon until night. except i don't have a star or a parrot. ooh, i was tres excited earlier; snow patrol are in oxford next month! yippee! i missed them last time they came due to horrible chucking up illness, which meant i had to be all tucked up in my duvet with a sick encrusted bucket by my bed which kind of spoilt the snuggly cosy illusion somewhat. still, i got to listen to 'you're not very well' by the lovely charlatans over and over again. it is a strange ritual that i have that when i am genuinely feeling ill rather than just skiving i need to hear sweet darling timmy burgess remind me i feel like shit. odd that. anyway, i have bored you enough with my ramblings so i'll say tatty bye. love rachel xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: be warned: my lurking days are over
by mike windisch 05 May '99

05 May '99

Greetings from another of the thousand children, now that the bowlie bytes are beginning to subside back into the reality of workaday wonderings, methinks it might be an appropriate time to follow the trend of premier posts with a first go of my own. (character sketch) Perhaps I am a twee anomoly: despite the fact that i've been repeatedly brought to tears in broad daylight on the crowded hiway while dodging a fox in the snow by the beauty of judy's dream and chutzpa of those who rule the school,and my semi-consistent barroom costume of tight red cords and purple shirts tends to make me a target amid the homophobic neanderthal environment of meathead america, i've given up shyness because its selfish, tossed shellac and the roots into the hifi for an occassional rotation, and have been known on occassion to piss off the polite with my interpretation of the time honored shortcut to freedom: suspended morality and upended pints of rebel pilsner. (how B&S has coincided with this life) Lord knows its been some time since i gave myself to sin,(and i'm just now getting over the karmic flak that resulted from seeking solace in sin from the vices of virtue)it wasn't until a recent workstyle upgrade necessitated a move north from native mystic to that little capital called providence that the cultural arbiters on high deigned to deliver tigermilk to my needy ears. Point being, this humble newjack can and does warble with conviction each time he hymns along with the chorus in state that I am in. (Another, more sinister concidence) Shortly before the crash of me and my last wee lass's cuddledrunk love affair, ***cheesy rhyme alert*** she, an old aquaintance, chose to peruse the small slice of prose i composed after the ocassion of our first meeting in years, which ended in a splendid fashion with midwinter post martini full moon snogging on the boardwalk. Whatever it was i wrote in that slim paragraph, i managed to make her cry with those words. (enough smarminess) more pragmatically, has any new englander found looper or gentle waves on the shelves of any record shops? The smug fellows at my local shop seem to be filing my requests in the 'to be ignored' bin. ciao for now, windish _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Sinister: Record Collectors
by David Moore 05 May '99

05 May '99

Hiya Fragrant Ones! I splashed out on a magazine today........ Er, lets start again. I meant to say that I purchased the May Record Collector today, because of the Belle and Sebastian feature. However its poo, so I don't advise any of you to do the same. Errors of fact, same old tired quotes & the same infamous press shots. Apart from B&S coming 131 in the readers poll of the top 500 collectable artists (with a bullet from last years 329), the only other thing of interest (at least to a indie geri like me) was that my first big gig (Knebworth 1) was 25 years ago, so they're re-releasing the posters of the 74-76 gigs. Tim Buckley bottom of the bill in 74, & that other Tim, Mr P!O!Pkins probably missed his heroes Pink Floyd headlining because he hadn't even started school yet in 75. Another don't buy warning: the Lucky Pierre 7" I found in HMV which would I fear be of interest only to the most anal Arab Strap collector (new in this year at 424) Apologies to Kara Baer for reviving unpleasant memories of a loathed childhood nickname. No offence intended, **** Bears were never objects of derision in our household. Honey, how come us Digest Readers don't get the nambling pambling rice pudding stuff in our footers? - its not fair!

Sinister: You're a bold coquette and you dress outlandishly...
by Sam Devere 05 May '99

05 May '99

In a recent edition of the Ups and Downs, Stephen Duffy declared B&S as the feyest band of all. He's been touting them since the release of Tigermilk. 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. Did anyone catch the Looper article in Dazed and Confused? It's the one with Ewan Mcgregor on the cover. So I used the word moniker as an argot for name; however, no one was familiar with the term and they stated that I made this word up. Isn't this word a fairly ordinary one in the English vernacular? *chompchompchomp* I love lollypops - confection perfection. As a birthday gift to myself, I'm thinking of catching mon ami Robbie Williams next Monday just to see what all the hype surrounding him is about. I'm also thinking of catching St. Etienne, do they put on a good show? Anyone heard of the Lanterns? The Face gave one of their singles a good review and I can't seem to find them anywhere...
