Sinister: Just for the sake of seeing my name on the crush list.
by jarkko frantila 09 Jun '99

Welly. Had a jobinterview yesterday. I think it's a well known fact that in that kind of a situation you start to stutter, your palms sweat and your face becomes all red. Or is it just me? Don't think so, we all do that. I hate it when they ask you about your good/bad sides. If I come up with 3 good things and 7 bad things about my personality, should I tell the truth to them and just confess I'm a bit lazy? Well I didn't. Honesty is not always the best policy. 25 applicants for the job: an assistant for an assistant. Wee. What I should do there, if I get that job: Copy papers, use Microsoft Excel (which is the worst and dullest program in the world) and MSWord, take quests around the building and show where all the classrooms are (it's a school). Well, lets see what the future brings to my reach. Btw, I'm on the sinister photosection now. The first one to vote for me gets a prize. Honestly. If you don't like my "how we are now" picture, atleast take some time to check out my "as we were" pic. Hope I'd still have that woolenshirt I'm wearing in that one. It had this autograph in front that said "Elvis Presley", just above my left nipple. I was rocking then, now I'm just a gentle thinker. Really, I am. Sorry, I have absolutely nothing to say. @--->--- a rose, love and other stuff that makes you feel funny in your tummy, Jake. ______________________________________________________ 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: happy days
by John Kerr 08 Jun '99

08 Jun '99

I've been happily singing along to TBWTAS, out of key, ever since September. However, I've not really been singing quite what I should, I was kinda' upset to discover that in 'A Summer Wasting' what I thought was 'you have the Perth scene everything will be fine' was 'you heard the birds say everything will be fine'. OK, so I'm hardly adding to the great B&S lyrics debate, but it made me laugh for, oh at least 20 seconds. ps. why is 'Race For The Prize' on 'The Soft Bulletin' twice, the only difference I could tell was one was a wee bit shorter than the other. oh well, talking to 1000 strangers must be some sort of positive therapy in someone's book.

Sinister: THIS IS MOST HILARIOUS......
by Elish Hope 08 Jun '99

08 Jun '99

Okay - here you go.... How's this for making a total arse of yourself..... I was on a tour that the Foo Fighters were on, Dave Grohl is a HUGE Led Zeppelin fan. He knew a friend of mine and this friend was going to be there on the next stop of the tour. So I am hanging around with him and Pat Smear (this is JUST before he left the Foo's). We get to the site the next day and Dave goes to the guy in charge of backstage passes to get one for my friend so that he can see her. He really likes her. The guy tells him no, that there are only so many issued and due to tight security they won't hand anymore out. Dave then says: "Not even for Jimmy Page's daughter!?!" Said guy in charge promptly turned around and gave him a pass. We're walking away and I ask Dave who 'Jimmy Page' is. He literally fell over laughing. As I am sure you all are. I had met her dad and been to their house twice!!! I had no idea he was anyone other than her dad..... So, there I am trying to be the cool 'music photographer' and Dave Grohl name drops on ME - and I end up making a TOTAL arse of myself. How do you like them apples? See, even I have a sense of humor. So, you can all just step aside with your famous neighbors and the like. I met the man, had NO idea who he was - my friend had never mentioned it and since I do not require my friends to have famous parents, how the hell was I supposed to know. Talk about a humbling moment..... Just thought that story would make you all laugh at me... as much as I laugh at myself for it!

Sinister: Duglas T Stewart's searing expose of B&S (TONS of B&S content)
by ar981611＠student.paisley.ac.uk 08 Jun '99

08 Jun '99

Has no-one written a proper review of this top quality bit of telly yet? I watched it this morning at 9am just after my tape dropped through the letterbox (cheers Rob, did I tell you you're a star? I probably did, but I'll say it again, and in public this time). Well it was rather jolly, and it's the first time I've seen any B&S videos apart from wee snippets of DD#2 and Is It Wicked. Mick in a kilt would definitely be in the updated parade of my ten biggest wanks if I weren't full of catholic guilt about the whole masturbation scenario. I nearly fell off my sofa at the Century of Fakers video starring a person I actually know. Sandy, his name is, and he was responsible for introducing me to Stevie Jackson, to which one of my ex-flatmates said "oh, cos you're a really big Belle and Sebastian fan, aren't you" and I got hugely embarrassed and couldn't bring myself to talk to Stevie for the rest of the night as the fan/pop star divide had been set up at what was meant to be just a table of friends out for a drink. Elle, I looked for you in the Century of Fakers video but I couldn't see you. Mind you I only met you once so I the picture of you I have in my mind may be completely wrong. Where about in the video are you? Anyway, back to the programme content: Some B&S videos. Suspiciously high Select journo content. Alarming close ups of Mark Radcliffe's eyeballs. Mick looking even more embarrassed than he does on stage (and being interviewed in the worryingly familiar site of the last rainy Glasgow picnic). Caleb, was that you in the programme? I only met you for about three seconds at Bowlie (trying not to but a copy of Papercuts off you in the pub) so can't remember if I actually know what you look like but I think you were in there? Someone else I recognised but can't put a name to at the bar at 200 Troubled Teenagers. A REALLY bad cartoon strip with various B&S-ers looking really like themselves (Chris, Mick, Stevie, and a stunningly immaculate picture of Jo Kenney) a bit like themselves (Isobel, Richard) and looking like totally different people (Sarah, Struan). Can't comment on the cartoon Stu D as it didn't jump out at me much. In real life though, Stu was in possession of the communal band beard last seen adorning the chin of young Mr Colburn last week. People on buses in the not very B&S area of Bridge Street. Mick's admission that B&S are a bit rock and roll and not very fey. I don't think I heard the word "twee" mentioned once. And all voiced over in the style of a 70s educational video, much like a British (and real) version of Troy McLure, I suppose. The Kellogs/Nabisco song is definitely nothing I have heard before, but I imagine is from about the same time as Pocketbook Angel, for reasons that I thought when I was lying on my sofa early this morning but seem a lot more vague now. Sorry! It was a rather pleasant way of spending half an hour anyway, and you also get to see the inside of the legendary church hall and marvel at what a dreadful haircut Chris Geddes really has. More B&S content (what's wrong with me?) Tigermilk@Kilmarnock. Actually it's Somerset Park in Ayr, home of the Honest Men (otherwise known as Ayr United, Struan and Neil's favourite team). I know this as I asked Struan about it when I met him last week. Perhaps that was what spurred him to mail it for our collective perusal. And it was put up when Tigermilk was out the last time as far as I know (though any Ayr United fans on the list can correct me, if you exist). I wouldn't recommend supporting Ayr United if anyone is of the persuasion to change their teams to fit in with their favourite popster. Their "stadium" is a toilet and their top striker is a Celtic reject from several millenia ago who's a bit crap at taking penalties. Though you night bump into Struan at the pie stand. Gerry Love has a seat just in fromt of me at Celtic Park you know. He's often there with Joe McAlinden out of Superstar. Like anyone cares :) Book recommendations (I've never done this before, but hell, I've got lots of B&S content, so I can do this too, yes?). "Making History" by Stephen Fry. It's funny, it's educational, it's far too bloody clever for it's own good, and it confirms my belief that Stephen Fry is one of the greatest human beings in the world today. I've got my Camber chalet booked too. Who else is actually going then? The line-up is rather good and I will be sadly disappointed if there are only about four of the original corner of filth and drunken depravity members available. I've even set aside my money for the kissing booth too...rumour has it (OK started by me) that an end of season sale will see Nick Dastoor available this time for the bargain price of only 30p and a bag of dry roasted peanuts. Though if he continues to sail onwards and upwards in the list crush votes, then the queue may be slightly prohibitive. Struan and Stevie are expected to be busking to entertain the queue forming for the charms of that nice Mr Trousers and his horde of admirers. Oh no all his votes are from the same person aren't they? Why did Warrender John get all his votes taken off him when it was found out that he had been voted for ten times for the same person but Trousers' 25 votes remain intact? Hmmmm. Oh, and I shall send Camber Sands tapes to the first five people that ask me nicely and offer me nice tapes/presents in return. The whole version, not the 45-minute set that Radio One are punting. Shouldn't someone set up a tape tree for these? I would, but I haven't the faintest idea how. Does anyone at all anywhere have a tape of the Glasgow QM gig from a few years ago where they did Reel Around the Fountain. I'd rather like that :) OK, that's more than enough from me for now. Whistler, 13th Note, this Thursday. I'll maybe be the one in the blue duffel coat (weather dependent, it might have to be discarded for the summer). But everyone that goes to Glasgow meet-ups knows me now. Can we have some new people please? Sheeny Stalking Sarah Wheeler will be there, so expect a plethora of B&S-ers lurking behind pillars and pretending not to stalk her.

Sinister: "someone had to do it, you knew it was up to me"
by MWaggner＠aol.com 08 Jun '99

08 Jun '99

(Ok, I apologize, but there are people expecting this of me....) >The beach was deserted, except for some kelp... >which, in my world, is a very funny line from a Dylan song featured in >'Don't look back' (especially when said in sing-song Dylan accent). However, in the parallel but real world, that line was actually wirtten in 1974-1975 (and is in the song 'Sara' on the album 'Desire.' 'Don't Look Back' was filmed during Dylan's tour of the UK in 1966. Course, he was pretty fucked up on various substances throughout so he might have had a flashforward... Ok, Johnfm? And you just hush, Tim P!O!Pkins, or I'll send the Jefferson Boxkite over your house. --michele "Alias anything you like" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Cheltenham
by Mark Ollerenshaw 08 Jun '99

08 Jun '99

Hello again, I'll be staying in Cheltenham (that's the UK version, in case any international readers live near a similarly named town in a different country) over the summer for 9 weeks starting in about 3 weeks time, and was wondering whether anyone could recommend any nice little bars, pubs or suitably twee locations in which I can spend all my spare time/hard earned cash, listen to some relatively decent music, and perhaps even organise a meet up? Contact me privately, if you're feeling in a generous kind of mood and want to help. Sorry for wasting everyone's time...

Sinister: Japan & Cliff
by Tim McGregor 08 Jun '99

08 Jun '99

Hello there :) About a month ago somebody asked about Japanese B&S fans I think, and becasue I write to one, I thought I'd tell you all some stuff about B&S in Japan....Well, they're called 'Belleseba' by the Japanese fans, and their record company's trying to get all the EPs released on one CD, so it'll sell a wee bit better over there. That's all I know really, but, better than nothin. And about Gay Dad, well Cliff in partic, who used me to manipulate his career! They played in Belfast about a month ago, and nobody warmed to them when they started playing. So my friends and myself jumped about a bit, and were basically Gay Dad's biggest fans on the night. I waved to Cliff gave him the thumbs up, and he said I should get my hair cut. Thanks. Then he threw his coke can at me, jumped into the crowd and started singing at me/pushing me a bit; jumped onto the stage again to finish the song, and called me a wanker! At that point I shouted 'Fuck You', which, if you read the interview in Select this month, got changed about quite a bit. I'm the 'misguided youth'. I still haven't picked up my pre-orderd copy of the album yet. Grr. and Carsmile Steve is soooooo right about Suede and Hepburn! A Glastonbury sinister meet-up would be ace, are many of you going? I'm looking forward to a 13 hour bus journey to get there.... Oh, Darragh, I live near Belfast, but I can't go there for a while, as a big heavy metaller guy's going to beat me up becaue I look like a puff, slagged of his mate, and don't like Slayer. I'm away to moan about getting beaten up. Bye!

Sinister: If I needed someone to love...
by Natasha Rachel 08 Jun '99

08 Jun '99

...you're the ones that I'd be thinkin' of, Sinisterinos. Now pay attention. Teri let us know ages ago that she and Debbie are coming to London all the way from Toronto, and suggested a London picnic. I'm going to be there at the same time as well, and now it's closer to the time I'm reminding everyone of it. I'll say it again for the people in the back who might not have heard. A PICNIC. IN LONDON TOWN. THE FIRST WEEKEND OF JULY. >From what I gather, the demon drink manages to sneak its evil way into these affairs, so it'll be a Pissed In Camden NIC. I can't be bothered to think of words starting with N, I and C, so anyone who's got the imagination is welcome to. hoNey's International Children, maybe, but I think that's stretching it a bit far. I'm sure no one needs much of an excuse to attend an afternoon of fun and frolics in the park, but here's one reason you should come: it'll be almost exactly a month after the Greenwich one, so everyone will have had plenty of time to recover from the last picnic. And we can do our bit to keep the local public houses in business afterwards. Just in case anyone's forgotten, there's going to be A PICNIC IN LONDON and EVERYONE should show up. All that shouting's made me hoarse. I'll let you in on a little secret. Struan can't spell. So when he says "dream of horses" he means "dream of hoarses". And that Judy - she doesn't exist. Struan made her up to cover up the fact that he's the one dreaming of hoarses, and that hoarse person is me. We've been having a clandestine love affair, you see. It's more of a sex affair, really. The boy's insatiable. So Ian was right when he said the horses/hoarses were an obvious sexual metaphor. Struan thinks of little else. The only part of the affair I don't like is picking up the phone to hear "Hello. It's Mrs Murdoch here. Stuart's mum." It sends shivers up and down my spine, and not the nice kind. The woman is just so bloody critical. I think Stuart tells her everything. She hasn't shown her face on the list for a while, though, and I'm beginning to get worried. Are you out there, Mrs Murdoch? One more time, for the people who were staring out the window daydreaming before: London picnic. Remember it. Natasha xx _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: dix Place Roddington...
by Adam Chapman 08 Jun '99

08 Jun '99

Hokay, after much deliberation, not to mention minor panic [why? i'm indecisive o.k.?], i have made the truly momentus decision to attend the undoubted joys that await the world at *Bowlie 2*, having missed the originall;the bloody thing hit all my coursework deadlines... Now, this is all well and good, but i require somebodies to go with and am therefore forced to offer myself in this way [the number of my friends who could care less/pay is around about zero], and i have neither funds nor credit card for a chalet for my lonesome self to trash in the space of 3 days. All i can offer is the ability to wash up for myself, and not to make too much fuss about alcohol induced vomiting, this together with a flair for the OI! YOu school of introduction [well, not exactly, i have delusions of bravery/naivity, so can walk up to people i have never met with impunity]. i can also talk on many subjects on the basis of absolutely no experience whatsoever... In much hope, if not expectation, Adam, X "Because I know that you know, that we know they don't know whats been going on....

i'm nervous about this. anyway, i've been reading your messages for weeks and this is a really nice place. it makes me so sad to hear about the amazing things that go in the uk while i am so far away in canada. concerning things i've read in the last month: dr.pepper is my hero, anyone who wishes to do an exchange, right here, i am all for it. also, my lifelong goal is to visit your beautiful kingdom. someday, perhaps it will happen. also, mercury rev kick ass and i kind of live near where they are from. not really though. god, don't hate me because of this first message. i'm nervous.
