Sinister: Breast-Feed Posh Ogled By A Million Germans
by Michael Jones 02 Jun '99

02 Jun '99

...today's front-page Daily Star headline. British journalism - best (and most surreal ?) in the world. This "All Tomorrow's Parties" thing. I must admit, I wasn't keen. Same venue, some of the same faces, perhaps even the same ruthlessly inefficient staff - but, a B&S-inspired event without any members of B&S ? One can't help but be reminded of the lame Police Academy sequels - tragically lacking Steve Guttenberg's easy charm, unconventional good looks and masterly comic. Timing. However, Joss threw his kitten amongst the vultures when he dropped the following names like so much confetti: > Stereolab > Laika > Tindersticks > High Llamas > Plaid > Salaryman Which means it's more akin to a Police Academy sequel written by Donald Barthelme and PG Wodehouse, starring Chris Morris, Steve Buscemi and Janeane Garofalo and directed by Hal Hartley, David Hare, Hartley the Hare and Dave Lee Travis. All a bit futurist avant-retro neo-bonkers for a double-decker bus to be appropriate this time though; monorail to the coast, anyone ? Erlend Hammer signed off a debut post with: > and the next vi-de-o was by Belly. And I laughed like a saucepan. Cheerio, Mike. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Chimple Things please Chimple Minds (scant crumbs of B&S content)
by Tim Hopkins 02 Jun '99

02 Jun '99

Want to hear a sad story? Setting aside Friday night's high jinks (except to say that to see Jim Shepherd singing 'Cold Heart' and to see Pam Berry singing 'Useless' had been long-standing ambitions of mine, both fulfilled in the one church hall, wow...), and passing over Saturday night's Eurovisionvison party (except to say it's possible to sing bits of 'Belle and Sebastian' along to that atrocious winning entry), the third peak of my triplet-peaked weekend was to be seeing none other than Mister Kenny Rogers at none other than the Royal Albert Hall in none other than London, England. It meant that I had to leave the Sinister pique-nique early, which was (naturally) pretty heart-rending, but hey, we had obtained some freebie tickets for none other than a box in a balcony right by the stage...free wine and nibbles...who could ask for anything more? As it turned out, we could have asked for more. Just around the time you lot were discussing bombs and stuff, there was none other than a bomb scare causing none other than an evacuation of the hall, and the end of the evening's entertainment. One of the middle aged women I was talking to saw Mr. Rogers and his lovely wife Wanda being chauffered away from the venue within a couple of minutes of the alarm being raised. Not such a gambler after all, it seems. Anyroadupluv, the Albert Hall still stands, and it appears the scare was a fake. We wandered down the road to a marvellous Polish restaurant and ate big piles of MEAT. It's what Kenny would have wanted. We did get to see the set by Linda Davis, who performed 'Nashville Waltz'. Has anyone ever noticed a distinct similarity between the melody of 'Nasville Waltz' and the melody of 'Slow Graffiti'? Thought not. I have to wonder who would want to bomb Kenny Rogers? Was it one of you lot? ian wrote: >other random things that come into my head..a slap for the person who >slagged off jefferson airplane...remember what the doormouse said. Ooh! That was me! I've been slapped online! Cool! Actually, the last dormouse I was talking to advised me to avoid Jefferson Moped's hippy drivel like the plague. I thought it good advice. I once endured a car journey in which my chauffeuse and her friend (who was the most boring man on the planet) played 'White Rabbit' at least 20 times. I was delighted, as you can probably imagine. I hate rabbits almost as much as I hate hippies. ian wrote: >a kiss for the person who was talking about grace jones, just >because. Ooh! That was me! He slapped me and it felt like a kiss! Cool! Since the response to my plea for cheese puns has elicited little more than a trickle of response, I thought I'd join in myself. Here are a few you missed: The Stilton I Am In You Made Me Forget My Chaumes It Could Have Been A Brilliant Paneer Is It Wicked Not To Camembert I know where the Cheddar Goes Put The Brick Back on the Shelf You see the fun we could have had? Ah well, no sense crying over part-rotted milk. To other matters... Mr David 'More and' Moore, Chelmsford UK wrote: >Hands off Jefferson Ornithopter Tim, or I'll send you a compilation >tape >of their offshoot bands' output, featuring such delights as >Universal >Copernican Mumbles; tracks from Grace's Manhole - "a >novocained nun >shrieking Spanish civil war songs in a Chinese >brothel" ; Across The Board >("7 inches of pleasure, ooooh, going >home"); & a mere few hours of 1971 >Live Hot Tuna. I MUST HAVE THAT TAPE! Not only will the bit with the nun remind me of my holidays, but Jeffo Pushbike offshoots will be ideal for torturing Neil Hannon, who I kidnapped over the weekend and who is now locked up in my basement. It would be the best place for him if only the bugger wouldn't keep singing. Ugh. Congrats to Dr. 'I'm Into' C.B. Stride, if he's still around, on the passage of the mighty Hornets into the top flight. Why not hold a Top Indie Night in Sheffield by way of celebration? Ditto the Tagster on the progress of his lot...back where you belong! There's more than one team from Manchester who get the smooth end of the injury time stick, it seems. He Hit Me And It Felt Like A Proboscis.

I think this is because a yellow mobile phone with a monkey shaped cover is my secret desire, but it doesn't make much sense seen as my texiles teacher doesn't like me very much (never was one for embroidery. I've been missing picnics and fun sinister things, while locked up on study leave. It's not like I've actually been working! Yesterday I watched 'Pretty In Pink' for the millionth time and feel asleep sitting up. It's a great film, Pretty In Pink, just where did the eighties bratpack go? down the pan? I put a belle and sebastian track on my 'songs to play when feeling sad' tape, along with other trash like the lilys and gene pitney. The track was 'Seeing other people'. OK, i'm definatley not on form today! so i shall stop right now.

Sinister: Easy like Sunday morning
by Sarah Wheeler 02 Jun '99

02 Jun '99

Hey folks Re: GLASGOW MEET Well, being a virgin I was slightly apprehensive about joining in, having read in countless magazines how the first time is not going to be the most earth shattering. I'd experienced a little foreplay at Bowlie, after bumping into Sinisterines, but that didn't count as the full blown thing (nice though). Nevertheless, I was reassured by listees' accounts of previous encounters, how there was little to be scared of, how you would be warmly received and how it didn't matter if you didn't know where to put it (the B+S badge, fools). Any blood on the sheets was merely an inconvenience (wrong list, Sarah). And they were right.....it was lovely. It was great to finally put a face to Mummy Honey's name, and to meet up with Linda (sorry for banging on about jobs, or lack of), and the very gorgeous Matt Neimark. Chris Leonard, I'll see you in the Research Club, and David......well, I'll look out for you at lost property. As for Owen (the Narrow Wizard), Ailsa and Alasdair "Sarah, she was easy" Cook....well I don't know about you, but the Struan incident put a bit of a downer on things. Why did he have to keep following us....one photo, we said, just one, and then you have to go away and leave us in peace. And did he, did he buffalo. He was back time after time after time. Go away, we screamed, you're not invited. So what does he do....follows us up to the Art School, dragging Sarah, Richard (I asked him if he wanted to compare beards, he said no) and Isobel, as well as Aidan Arab Strap, Snow Patrol and David Kitchen. I ask you. So I leave, and who follows??? Yep you guessed it....Struan and Isobel. Bloody pests. And I managed to resist the kebab shop. Can we do it again soon?

Sinister: Warning: this post contains a massive weapon
by Mark Casarotto 02 Jun '99

02 Jun '99

...did you know John Cusack's a B&S fan? Or at least he mentions them in his new script, which isn't bad going :) I'm sad I missed the Greenwich picnic - my clique points are slipping (as is my listcrush position - come on chums, I'm sort of cute when it's very, very dark. And when I'm not speaking), so I am hoping to get to Oxford this weekend for a bit of out-of-town schmoozing. I also didn't make it to Kevan's Eurovision party - too busy ringing up to vote for Cyprus (whose only points came from the United Kingdom, which was thanks to ME!) in a student house in Birmingham with Miss Vicky and lots of people who wouldn't piss on Belle and Sebastian if they were on fire. I expect. I am going to plug, yet again, the B&Sophile club night on June 11th Upstairs at the Garage in North London (Highbury and islington Tube, I think), "A Night of Tigermilking", featuring several DJs of this parish, fun, frolics, added incentives and at least one spunky pop performer. So please come and get merry with your favourite sinister listcrush (reports of Nick Dastoor's attendance are as yet unconfirmed)! B&S badges and t-shirts get in cheaper, of course... I quite fancy that promo Swede Tigermilky single thing - hopefully it'll be found in abundance in the Gothenburg equivalent of the record and tape exchange 2 weeks after it's distributed - any lovely Swedes (and hey! You're all lovely in my book, yes you are!) fancy picking me up a copy, I'll go all red and smiley just for you... My job has entailed me reading some of Joan Aiken's works yet again (sorry if I've said this several times before) - Nightbirds on Nantucket's quite good, really. Imagine, a big gun on the other side of the Atlantic to blow up James III with! Saddam Hussein's a fan, then...Any listees want to mail me with their favourite Aiken recommendations? If they're good, I'll try and make them turn it into a TV series, promise... Gosh I'm not on form today. Sorry chickens! But I'm pleased to hear Th' Faith Healers have their fans - I'd recommend most highly the first three EPs and the first album, Lido, which only has a 10 minute song at the end, but I challenge Lesley cos it's much better than the other one...They had wicked fans, too, and they used to let us sit on stage intertwined among their legs while they played, banging tambourines and playing with mic stands and generally feeling like we belonged :) It's not all work, work, work, you know...

Sinister: Looper in Motorhead opener shocker!
by Pulpbot＠aol.com 02 Jun '99

02 Jun '99

Young ones, Toodled down to the ol' 9:30 club tonite for a bit of yer Motorhead, plus special guests Hatebreed, Nothingface, Loathesome Cancer, Stroke-on-Trent, and Bile. Shock to find all but Motorhead had canceled, but bigger shock to see Looper as the replacement! "I love their electronic pig fuck and wot not," I overheard Lenny tell some slightly addled fans. Can't say I've heard the Looper album, but they won the crowd over with sheer perseverance, gallantly referring to their album as "Cup O'Pee" in deference to the peverse leanings of Motorhead fans. Is the new album really called "Cow's Cunt"? Irony is hard to grasp over the tractor rumble of Lemmy's bass (yes, he joined Looper on several songs). Looper's new (?) song about Lemmy's white cowboy boots had quite a few in the crowd talking excitedly; it was quite good. When Lemmy took off one of said boots and whacked Mick in the face with it, it seemed to be more of a loving gesture more than anything. Needless to say, everyone flipped when Wee Karn pranced around in a chainmail bikini and the led the crowd in a chant of "wart removal is for pussies." Lemmy seemed to sniffle, I swear. Well, Motorhead weren't bad. Listee of listees Eran good-naturedly took a blow to the head, but my ex-boyfriend Doug was dragged across the floor in a headlock, so he wins. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Was there anything I could do...
by Jordi Trenzano i Vilar 02 Jun '99

02 Jun '99

... Yesterday I bought the Go-Betweens compilations and itŽs completely great. I canŽt take "DonŽt believe what youŽve heard / Faithful itŽs not a bad word" out of my mind. IŽll try to make things clear: IŽve got "the loneliness of the middle distance runner", even though in the Barcelona Žs gig iŽve got only the first min ute of that song, because my tape ended. Stuart Gardiner sent me that song in my early days at sinisterland. I donŽt want a copy of it. What I was trying to mean in my previous posts is that iŽll try to find someone who has the gig without ANY mistake. OK ? As soon as iŽll have it, iŽll begin to make copies to everyone who asked me to. The first ones are going to be this chap who has offered himself to make me a copy of the TV documentary (Stephen, I think it is) and Katarina Karl soon, whose tape arrived here two days ago. For the rest, please be patient, as iŽll be having my exams only in one week. No one has answered me yet if the first song of the BarcelonaŽs gig is the in strumental "Tigermilk". If anyone can con firm it, please e-mail me privately. Oh, and some weeks ago I asked all of you about the info for the song "kites are fun", from a band called TomorrowŽs worl d. No one has answered me yet too. I insist: if you want to answer me, use my other adress, not this one: jordi(a)belleandsebastian.org Take care ================================ ================== Jordiet Sinistre ================================================== Tu E-Mail Gratis en http://www.mixmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
