As it seems that some good (?) memories began to flow in the back of Robbies head after he read my post, I thought I'd say something. Well first, Robbie said: >Frankko said: -Frankko? Erm, that's not me, but he seems to be speaking my words. Strange one, that. And then Robbie continued (About the cruises): >Actually, no memory at all. -Welcome to the club. Helsinki-Stockholm cruises are the same for Finns as sprig-breaks are for Americans (or so I've heard). And whats that about 45 per cent of us having moustaches? I quess you went to those "people who study to be carmechanics"-cruises. You know the people, guys who have this thin line above their upper lip and talk about engines and such. Or is it just a common thing in Scandinavia to have this cap on your head backwards, be a sucker for hockey and other "manly" sports and challange complete strangers to armwrestle you when you've had three beers? Btw, my facial hair is pretty lame, some hair on my chin but I cant even grow a proper moustache. Hercule Poirot is cool. Went to this lovely field of grass yesterday to play footie with my friends. First ball comes my way from the left side, a PERFECT opportunity to put the ball in the back of the net with this cool Michael Owen/Mikael Forsell- type of semiacrobatic kick. Some jerk just tips the ball out of my reach, just as I'm trying to kick it. Complete miss, and now my groin hurts like hell. Hmm, Tigermilk re-release. Not such a bad thing, since my tape is in pretty horrible shape, have to crank the volume up to hear something and then it all gets a bit "sssshhhhhh" in the background. Especially "Electronic Reneissance" sounds like it's played live in some huge bucket somewhere around Greece while some english tourists are having a blast in the nearby cafe. If you an imagine that. And now I have to start working. @--->--- jake, getting bored, while shiny happy people are holding hands. ______________________________________________________ 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: me and my valium pills
by Blake E. Hamilton 04 May '99

04 May '99

My my! With this onslaught of new listees it feels a bit crowded in here. Indeed, everyone huddle up together and we'll be just fine, I imagine. The whole list crush debate seems to be pretty heated. I voted over the weekend for my crush, but alas, i will not share, for wouldn't that be just ruining all the fun, all the glee, oh, all the heartbreak! Thanks to everyone who responded with places to go and shop during my brief stint in London in two weeks. I'm sure it will be truly a magnificent time, hopefully the weather will be nice and there won't be any pipe bombs to blow me to smithereens. Sorry, when I saw the rash of bombs on the news I got a little scared. I suppose it's the real world. I figure it's about time we met. I finally wrote my story which somewhat concerns the JygSaw Dave dubbed "Hostess with the Mostess". Though she is somewhat of a side item on the story's order. It's in the Sinister library, so if anyone feels lonely and needs some unneeded flowery imagery in their craniums, well, you know where to look. Exams are almost done, soon it's on with summer, my favorite season. Oh I can't wait love blake (who just got his darth maul figure and is insanely giddy) ~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ "I am not Jesus, though I have the same initials." - Jarvis Cocker +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: For Trade : Dublin Gig
by damien 04 May '99

04 May '99

Hi All, I have recently acquired a copy of the Dublin gig on tape. Its an audience recording, and the sound varys throughout, deviating around the 'fair' area most of the time. On the other hand, they do play 4 unreleased songs... [setlist for anyone who missed it the 1st time.... The first few bars from "Whiskey in the Jar" Slow graffiti Seeing other people The State that I am in Wrong girl I know where the summer goes Family Tree Winter Wooskie I don't love anyone Paper boat Dog on wheels Seymour Stein Simple things Photo Jenny The Boy with the Arab Strap] If anyone is interested in this, I am particularly looking for for unreleased/session/live (in that order) B&S stuff (except for the Black Sessions), Mogwai Session/Live stuff (except for the most recent Radio one session) and Pavement session/live stuff. If you want the tape but don't have any of this then email me anyway and we'll work something out. If you are interested, email me privately at muddled(a)geocities.com Thanks... and by the way... a fellow desciple stopped me in the street last Sunday with an identical study at stow... t-shirt to mine... .....maybe a Dublin picnic isn't too unfeasable of an idea after all... -Damien +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Yet another first post
by Gary Lawler 04 May '99

04 May '99

I'm another newbie fresh out of the nursery, and one that likes to write in a very disjointed and random manner at that. Let's hope this goes well :-) One day, my sister had her radio on and this really good song came on. I hadn't a clue what it was or who it was by, so I ran the only lyric I remembered ("You'll have a boy tonight") through AltaVista and was given a list of sites about a band with the strangest name I had ever heard. I picked up IYFS not long after, and I've been listening ever since . . . although strangely enough, I haven't managed to get around to ordering LLPJ itself yet :-) Hmmm . . . I think I've used up my smilie allowance already, and I've only written two paragraphs. I wasn't able to get to the Bowlie weekend, but I did go to the Dublin gig. I found the gig strangely unsatisfying, and I don't know exactly why yet. Maybe I heard so many great things that I was expecting too much, maybe the band were tired after the weekend, or maybe it was the fact that I'd had my hair cut the day before and it still had that just-cut arsiness about it (meaning I hid in the shadows and kept to myself the whole time). On the subject of the Dublin gig, I had never heard Snow Patrol before then, and I reckoned they were tops (even if they made my ears ring). And I paid £16 for one of those T-Shirts, although I was really only after some badges. *tries to think of a satisfactory way of ending this message* *fails* Gary Lawler ----------------------------------------------------------------- ICQ UIN: 11115268 AIM: seclite369 In the CD Player: "If You're Feeling Sinister", Belle & Sebastian ----------------------------------------------------------------- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Only losers take the bus

Hey ladies. 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. I've got some more which I may or may not be arsed to scan in. http://www.seahouses.u-net.com/bowlie/ JJ xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: when the first seal was opened...
by Iangstl＠aol.com 04 May '99

04 May '99

Hi, ... Arantxa spoke onto us: Maybe there is some spell on all the Sinisterines attending Bowlie,probably thrown by some Witch green with envy and jealousy and all our keys will start to vanish from our pockets and wallets. Does someone know any remedy? ... then Ailsa wondered : Well I actually didn't lose any keys at all, but feel there may be some sort of curse on the Bowlers amongst us as on the way down to Bowlie I lost my driving licence and several other irrelevant forms of ID... Not that I'm bitter about the Bowlers because they have upside down patches upon thars, while I am among many with no patches upon ours... but I am concerned about this whisper of a curse. For I have suffered a loss that no SiniSTAR should bare. I went to my shelf, pulled out the trusty red, opened it as Charlie did his chocky bar, only to find an empty case. A thorough search has left me wanting. That night, a friend was over admiring my TWATTYBUS vinyl, and told me the same sad tale. We fear that there is pox upon us or that Cheapster has found a way to transport all cds from their cases so we must rebuy our sacred testaments. I say to you all, rush to your shelves, your cd changers, your discmans! Secure your discs! Hold them, kiss them, love them, but don't LOVE them.... .... For this surely must be the first sign of the second coming of Tigermilk. mwah, dawn not some Witch green with envy and jealousy +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: rufus wainwright (B&S content, i swear)
by Kerry Lannert 04 May '99

04 May '99

so i'm sitting in my room listening to rufus wainwright and thinking about belle and sebastian (that was the B&S content) and wondering if he would be considered twee. i can't really make up my mind. see, his voice is so un-twee, but the music and lyrics certainly are. of course, maybe my definition of twee is off. oh well. any ideas? please respond privately so list mummy honey doesn't yell at me or any of you. ;) -kerry http://hamp.hampshire.edu/~kwl96 "i'd be riding horses if they'd let me." -- palace, "horses" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: i will frame this moment in time
by andrew 04 May '99

04 May '99

dear popkids, thanks to the wonders of honey's humourless computer (though i found it to be both informative and funny), i've been given the freedom of speech on this here mailing list thing, so i thought i'd take a moment to introduce myself and say hello. i've been in love with belle & sebastian since i heard 'the stars of track and field' on mark radcliffe's graveyard shift way back when the countryside was green, britpop was dominating every students life, and steps were but a twinkle in the eye of pete waterman. since then they've continued to amaze me with their beautiful and always entertaining music; i can't wait to hear 'tigermilk' (i'm sorry, i've never heard it...please be gentle) when it finally comes out at a price which even i can afford. also, soon it is my birthday and i am feeling lonely because all my friends have gone on a geography field trip to a dark and unexplored corner of south-west wales leaving me behind with only people that i don't like much to talk to. therefore, if anybody would like to - (a) make me a birthday cake and send it to my house, (b) buy me a dog (my parents won't let me have one, but i'm sure that if one mysteriously turned up on my doorstep with a tear in it's eye they wouldn't refuse to let me keep it), or (c) suggest some records that i should buy with my yearly dose of HMV vouchers from my relatives who don't know what else to get me, i would be most appreciative and be sure to reward you with whatever you choose as long as it's quite cheap and doesn't require much effort on my part. finally, evil pop music magazine select has a nice but sadly only A4 size poster of the cover of the 'dog on wheels' EP in this months issue. it is now attached to my wall where it looks perfect next to beth orton and blur standing in a forest. that is all, please be friendly because i am new to mailing lists and i will get better at posting, i promise. love andrew. xx ( andrew(a)dreamwish.freeserve.co.uk ) ( http://www.dreamwish.freeserve.co.uk ) ( love's the only thing that makes me do this ) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: My First Words Are ...
by THAIAN N TON 04 May '99

04 May '99

TIGERMILK. Since i finally got my voice back -- my e-mail server changed our addies and i had to wait a long 2 weeks without a noise and bantering about in the sinister nursery, i saw in CMJ yesterday that Tigermilk's release is set for June 8th which is very exciting indeed. i was walking about campus the other day & saw a flier that said, "Depressed and have low self esteem? Listen to (radio station) playing Morrissey, The Smiths & Belle & Sebastian" I thought that was rather funny that they said that B&S is low self-esteem music. Picnics? Are there any DC/Baltimore picnics in the works???

Sinister: The mystery of the keys
by ar981611＠student.paisley.ac.uk 04 May '99

04 May '99

Well I actually didn't lose any keys at all, but feel there may be some sort of curse on the Bowlers amongst us, as on the way down to Bowlie I lost my driving licence and several other irrelevant forms of ID (phone bill, that sort of thing - just as well no-one at Pontins wanted to see them, really) and also a litre and a half of vodka thanks to the lovely National Express chappie who dropped my rucksack as he was lifting it out of the bus. Funny how Mark seems to get more injured than anyone else playing football, I seem to remember exactly the same thing happening on the beach last weekend. What's that you say? Italians? Diving? Drama queens? Surely not?!?! Hamstring was it Mark? You obviously didn't do your stretching properly, sorry if my laughing at your warm-up round our chalet last week put you off your *proper* warm-up in any way :) On a slightly more serious note (not to trivialise Mark's hamstring in any way, oh no): THAIAN N TON wrote: > i was walking about campus the other day & saw a flier that said, "Depressed > and have low self esteem? Listen to (radio station) playing Morrissey, The > Smiths & Belle & Sebastian" > > I thought that was rather funny that they said that B&S is low self-esteem > music. Doesn't anyone else think this? Maybe they're not low-self-esteem "I hate myself and I want to die" stuff, but as a long-term bullying victim with chronic self-esteem problems I identify far too much with certain lyrics, especially "Mary Jo", "the one thing that I learned when I was still a child was to take a hiding, if there's one thing that I learned when I was still at school was to be alone", parts of "She's losing it" and "Expectations", OK, maybe not what you'd all call low self esteem music but I see myself in a lot of (especially earlier) Belle and Sebastian lyrics and that's part of why I started to listen to them. I'm pretty sure there must be a couple more people who see them that way too? Yes? No? I mean there are a million other reasons I love them too, but that's my view on the low-self-esteem thing anyway. On that note, I shall say that if you look in Melody Maker not only can you see Tag but you can see the space on the beach that I had been occupying just prior to the infiltration by "proper" photographers. FluffySarah's mate Chris is there, skulking in the far distance, and so is someone else that I never spoke to, and someone indistinguishable dressed in black that may actually be my esteemed chalet chum Mr Kevan Cooke, a man with a fine taste in Japanese pop, the ability to survive an entire weekend on Pot Noodles and red wine, and an encyclopaedic knowledge of Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Chocolate arse, my arse, Keith. A dazzling sociological and philosophical discourse and no mistake. With oompaloompas and Roy Kinnear to boot. Someone on the "I Saw You" board is wanting to organise a Millenium Bowlie so they can start 2000 on the beach at Camber Sands. Wouldn't it be better to have it somewhere, like, warm, and without the need for security guards? I think we should have the Millenium Bowlie in Struan's church hall. I'm sure he won't mind.
