Sinister: Tigermilk first listening to
by Justin Williams 24 Jun '99

24 Jun '99

Afternoon sinisterines, I don't have much time to write but I just listened to Tigermilk for the first time thanks to a wonderful Mr. Chris McQuain who was kind enough to make me a copy =) And I just want to immediately express my awe, reverence and amazement at the whole album first off but especially "We Rule the School" and "My Wandering Days Are Over"..<sigh>. My friend was listening to it with me and made the comment that it sounded like we were listening to angels practicing songs that they hadn't quite polished completely. The fact that B&S can cut an album that sounds both amateurish (only in the recording) and beyond it's years at the same time absolutely floors me. I am hypnotized by their beauty. That is all =) Enjoy the rest of your respective days...

Sinister: health and safety
by Sam Norman 24 Jun '99

24 Jun '99

Today is my last day in my office until September, term finishes and i'm no longer required here. We had the health and safety around today though. If major changes aren't made i may never come back to this lovely orange room in a basement of Russel Square. See there just aren't any fire exits. But I do have some major important news about the future though. Someone told me that there will be a major gathering again of like minded people in the near future. And that again these people will meet in in some venue near Highbury fields. But more on that later. I can't wait for the picnic at the begining of July. Is it some kind of Primrose Hill fest or something? A two day extravaganza? I'll be quite content on just the Sunday, July 4th as its my birthday!! I'll be 20! I saw REM on Tuesday. A very pleasant experience by all accounts it was. I managed to get into the special bit at the front of Earls Court where you have to have a wristband, and you can actually see the band. Stereolab where the support, and they were mighty fine. They played a couple of new songs. One strangely titled, "This might be a single one day" to which many of my fellow members of the audience (99% being the unitiated) replied along the lines of, "If they ever get signed" to which the reply over heard more then once was, "They're gonna have to learn english if there ever gonna make it." Last night I wrote A Manifesto of Affection. See I'm going through a kind of relationship crisis, a kind of hangover from a past relationships. The ex just threatened to call the cops on me, because a friend of mine insulted her last August. Anyone who wants to be in a relationship with me will have to agree with the Manifesto I've decided. I don't know maybe this is a bit far fetched but i've been burnt quite severely in the past, chip pan accidents and the sort. While I was writting last night I came up with this phrase, "When was the last time you had no money, When was the last time you saw your dad dressed like mummy." It just seemed to Morrisey for me to have thought it up. I must have nicked it from somewhere. Anyway I have now returned my copy of Tigermilk to it's rightful owner. So I am just gonna have to wait to get my own copy before i can satisfy my needs. I'm now of to the bar if anyone wants to join me Sam +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Ooberman on telly!!!
by Oliver 24 Jun '99

24 Jun '99

Seriously shocking news...The tennis match between the two ubergermans was a bit boring so I was flicking trough the channels and on the crappy local tv show before local news (Yorkshire tv Tonight) they were interviewing Ooberman. The two guys seemed either bored as hell or on something and the interview wasn't exactly interesting (yeah, the name was from a comic strip, we're playing Glastonbury on Sunday, that sort of thing...) but they did sing A Million Suns live and he's got an amazing voice. The bird was wearing an Oobergirl t-shirt too. I was so shcked about it I thought I had to tell you all B&S content - found their first single Dog on Wheels in HMV and Andy's Records today. Spoilt for choice now really. And in Our Price they had a poster advertising the rerelease of Tigermilk. It's all happening now you know.

Sinister: Night of the Living Dress
by oon 24 Jun '99

24 Jun '99

(i don't speak English. please don't hold me responsible for the bad pun above) it's tonight! Pookie Droolz Prom Night! or is it last night?? anyway, i'm very excited. i never have any prom. high school seemed to have something, can't remember what it was like but definitely not a Prom. i want to send my spirit to witness the heaving bosom Genevieve having a ball of her life but Canada is so far i can't imagine what it looks like. Pookie when you regain your conscious please do tell! Queen Genevieve wondered: > .I wonder what Murdoch`s type is. Delicate like him or > lusty mamas like Salma Hayek and Jennifer Lopez? > firstly, Mr Murdoch was a boxer. don't you have a saying "once a boxer, always a boxer"? from that evidence alone, i can bet my neonyellow highheel boot he'd go straight for those gladiator mamas. satisfaction guaranteed or get his boxing glove back. Secondly, i've bought this Thaiboxing short for Mr Murdoch since i heard he's a boxer. but it's too long ago i simply forgot about it until lately. it's very red and very hmm eyecatching. i wish i could see him wearing it having a go with one of those gladiator mamas. Mr Robin said in Thai accent (sorry Mr Robin): > I'm unable to read books set in > America unless I imagine American accents, <snip> > everyone i read speak half Thai half english with a Thai accent, whoever they may be. that's why it takes so long to read anything. i've tried reading out loudly. very foolish and exhausting. even take longer. since i lost my dictionary reading became easier, but less comprehensible. when there's hard word i will guess and dive through it, hopeful that the meaning will come to me in the end. that's not often successful. so as a new year present to myself, i'm going to buy a fucking huge dictionary, as a tribute to Honey's Fucking Huge Computers. who knows what i might achieve with it. swear more fluently, possibly. Lady Sarah exclaimed: > FOR THE LADS!!!! in a laddy way, not as in Gay eXchange way. > you mean as in a lad vs a lad? not a gay vs a lad, yes? talking about gender fluidity! that's deep and profound of your vision, my dear Starry Droolz. i reckon you can make a living out of reading people eyebrows here. i've heard feetreading is quite good but i never try. i don't like turning up my feet for people to read, it's too awkward. that photo of Richard is timeless, yes! his face will always remind me of how exciting/amazing it was hearing they won the Brits. may i ask you all to raise your thumb up in the air for Richard? Thank you. love, oon xxx (Linda have you seen yourself in the telly yet?) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Summer poptacular!
by Kurtis, Elizabeth 24 Jun '99

24 Jun '99

Hello kitten kaboodles, It's been that kind of day, one where it's muggy and grey out when the Big Breakfast forecast promised us sunshine, so I thought I'd inject a little POP into all of your lives. This morning we were opening our sackloads of mail in one of the rooms deep in the cabbage-scented basement at Granada, when 3 giggling young ladies popped their heads in to ask the whereabouts of Dressing Room 4. 'That way,' we answered, but hang on a sec....it was Cleopatra, comin' atcha!! Yes indeed, apparently the Cleopatra girls still live in Hulme and were in the studio for some shoot. I can tell you that one of them is sporting blue extension braids and they wear huge platform trainers, even in the daytime. B&S content: Pumpkinny and I watched the B&S documentary the other day, it was slightly better than I expected but still a bit cringeworthy. Especially that girl on the bus reading the 'B&S' comic book. 'Let's form a band!' 'I play the cello!' 'I've got a lovely stuffed lion!' etc. etc. I was also quite let down that Harold the Horse didn't make the final edit. Nice to see Caleb at the beginning though. love, elisabeth +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I'm watching the ghost busters
by Robert Foster 24 Jun '99

24 Jun '99

Oh dear, that sounded like I was slagging off Northy, I wasn't. It's just that I've read what he wrote in the archives and I thought it was pretty funny, and since I was on about content of emails, well, you get it. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The Queen is dead boys
by Robert Foster 24 Jun '99

24 Jun '99

The Belle and Sebastian list is dead, en email from Dave Kitchen, huh, Dave, yea, we're like that (Please use appropriate fingering) said that due to no bugger writing emails he was shutting it down. Ironically the last email from the B&S list said how shit Sinister conversation was and how great B&S conversation was. And I must admit, in the time (a week)I belonged to the B&S list I only ever received about 8 email all of which were slagging us off in the first paragraph and then saying how great their conversation was in the second. They then made their signature and said bub bye. This is apposed to the last week in Sinister, I've received, oh, I don't know, say 60 emails about all sorts of things. and for those of you out there who'll be thinking "oh, how ironic, he's just said how rubbish B&S list was and how great Sinister is by saying that the people on B&S say Sinister is shit and how great B&S is". Well, there were not that many emails going through the B&S list where as here there's loads, oh they may not be as cleaver as they were when FunkySeb was here but there okay, could do better as could this. And if you think about it, this email has got B&S content in it so there! If Northy was meant to be such a great bloke, why has he only sent 1 email in the last what ever it was since he re joined.

Sinister: Star, star crazy.
by Neil Dewhurst 24 Jun '99

24 Jun '99

I know this may hurt, but I have to say it anyway. I went to see REM last night, and seeing Mike "Elvis" Mills, Peter Rickenbacker and that tall thin guy who's also in the band leap on stage like complete and utter f***ing stars beat the hell out of any live moment I'd ever experienced. Tindersticks the first time was magical, B&S the first time was, well, quite sweet really, but this took the biscuit. Just imagine if you'd spent 9 years listening to Belle & Sebastian, and you'd never had a chance to go and see them, and then suddenly there they were on stage. You have to imagine as well that they were pure Rawk as opposed to shyly embarrased. Now, either I'm extremely shallow, or that would be a great moment. I did see someone with a IYFS t-shirt on, so if you're out there, am I right, or am I right? Also, i saw one of those marvellous random music references that journalists are so fond of in the Guardian a couple of weeks ago. On the subject of the boyband musical - surreally titled "Boyband" - the writer declared that good music is good music whether its by a manufactured group or by Belle & Sebastian. Without wishing to infer facts that don't hold up, my interpretation is that only songs written by manufactured bands or by Belle & Sebastian are good. Which is pretty damning, really. Personally I think that B&S are marketing hype and nothing else. The band has been put together so that all the personalities complement each other perfectly. They claim to write their own songs, which is what all boy / girl / infant / baby bands do. Don't be fooled. I happen to know for a fact that Prince wrote "Ease your feet...", Paula Abdul had a hand in "Fox in the snow", and that B*Witched originally wrote "Rollercoaster ride" (it's about Chessington, you know). Stuart Murdoch's real name is Alan Gettysburg, and the vocals are all recorded by Milli Vannilli. Pete Tong is being lined up to produce the next album, provisionally titled "The Scrubbers guide to Dundee".
