Sinister: A Tigermilk Tale
by Guilherme Barrella 20 Jul '99

20 Jul '99

Hello Sinisterines, I must announce that I got my digital copy of Tigermilk. But it wasn't easy, as some of you could imagine. I'd say that 99.99% of the brazilians record shops don't have a single clue of who Belle and Sebastian is... But this wasn't the only problem, well, here it goes: A Tigermilk Tale, by Guilherme Barrella When I woke up this morning I just had one thing in my mind: "I have to get my Tigermilk today. I have to!" I went on a Tigermilk search last saturday but nothing was found. "Today is gonna be the day, I can feel it." So I took the tube and went downtown, letting my instincts lead the way. When I got there, it was scary, lots of people everywhere, lots of people selling things on the street, but that's downtown, what can I do? But one thing told me I was on the right direction: there was a guy selling tiny plush tigers. I should've got one but money is short. Anyway, I found a store called Electronic Renaissance and decided to get in. There was a beautiful girl behind the counter, which made the situation very difficult to me, I'm too shy to talk to girls... especially when they're beautiful. "Ok, I have to find Tigermilk by myself", without help. I didn't even know if they had Tigermilk. Well, after searching through the whole shop, through every single cd, I couldn't find anything. To be honest, I found some early New Order albums on sale. Suddenly, another girl entered the shop and asked the ultimate question: "Do you have Tigermilk, by Belle and Sebastian?" I turned around with a hopeful expression in my face. "Yes, you're lucky, this is the last one." My world was over. That blonde bitch. She paid and left, just like that, without any emotion. I followed her. "I'm gonna take that away from her, it belongs to me. Yeah, I'm gonna steal it." But this thought left as fast as it came. "Come on, what am I talking about? Look The State I Am In just because of a record. I can't do that." Well, I kept following her, with no apparent reason though. She got in at the same station I was going to, so I was still behind her. But she was fast, she ran to the train. She ran so much that she didn't realize that something was falling from her purse. "She Is Losing It! She Is Losing It!", I tried to shout but I was voiceless. When I finally got her attention, the train was leaving. But she knew something was missing and the look on her face was priceless. She lose not only the cd package but all her Expectations. I decided to take the next train and if she was smart enough, she would be waiting for me on the next station. You know, I Could Be Dreaming but I thought I saw a topless girl with a tiger on her lap, just near me, on the train. I couldn't believe my eyes so I came closer to her. She wasn't topless but she was holding something. I came even closer and... "Oh, You're Just A Baby..." I said. "Get away from here you pervert!", she shouted. It was my time to get out anyway, so I did. And there she was, waiting for me. She couldn't believe when I gave her cd back. She was very happy that I wasn't like the other people. And guess what? She said that she knew me, we went to the same school, my face was familiar. I couldn't remember of her though. She tried to refresh my memory: "We were at the same class, remember? We Rule The School! You used to say that to me all the time." Oh, I could remember... She was a girl who made me feel miserable for these years. But she changed a lot, well, apparently. "Am I still in love with her? No, I'm not... I don't know what love is since... er... since... she left me." But I thought maybe she deserved another chance, after all now she is listening to Belle and Sebastian, she couldn't be that cold girl I knew. She wasn't surprised with the fact that I Don't Love Anyone. But she doesn't feel guilty thought. She said she could change me. Well, I'm really looking forward to this date. Mary Jo and me are going out next Saturday. My Wandering Days Are Over, that's me being optimistic. Who would tell? That's it for today folks. Take care. Love, Gui (Some people call me Gooey) PS - This was a true story. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: "Rule #1, NO POOFTERS!!" ..............................News @ 11:00.

Sorry to Geoff for having to undergo such terrible victimization. I trust that in a battle of wits you could have taken them all. Thanx also to L.J. for the amusement that comes with each of her entries. By the way L.J., was that you that mentioned Moose. I could be mistaken. Anyways, I love Moose & don't often run into anybody who's even heard of them. They were quite underrated for such amazing music. By the way y'all, I recommend "Rehearsals for Departure" by Damien Jurado (Sub Pop). He writes sad, beautiful, down-to-Earth songs reminiscent of Elliot Smith. I also recently acquired "Mobile Safari" by the Pastels. I don't know what they put in the water in Glasgow, but I could use some over here. I guess I don't have anything left of interest to say, so I'll call it an evening. Keep on truckin' WAIT!!!! I forgot about my new slogan for all of you familiar with dairy industry advertisements.........here goes.....................Got Tigermilk?.........................It couldn't possibly get any worse could it? I shall spare you all of any more of my feeble attempts at humor. Cake and ice cream at my place for all of you (& booze). xo frankie. "I'm only going to ask you all once, WHO WANTS A HUG" P.S. Blair Witch was scary, but unfortunately it is NOT a true story. If you want some insight try www.blairwitch.com. It makes it much more interesting.

Sinister: british invasion
by John Koliopanos 20 Jul '99

hiya listees, just a quick note to say that i'll be in the uk from this wednesday (21) until the 2nd of august. along with two ladyfriends, for your information. we will share a flat in london but we're planning on going to some places outside that the first few days: namely, we want to spend this thursday in warwick and nottingham (where we'll have to spend the night . . . any ideas?) and then head off to edinburgh by train and stay there for a couple of days. the thing is, despite the fact we've bought these railpasses (which means we now have to take all those trips, which we really want to do anyway) we've yet to sort out accomodation, esp. in scotland. so, if anyone has a floor or something to offer, it would be greatly appreciated. keep in mind that we're three harmless seventeen year old kids :) by the way, does anyone know how exactly we can get from nottingham to edinburgh by train and how long it'll take us? anyway, see you at the london picnic (s) next week!!! love johnk x x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Actually, "What goes on" is a Velvet Underground song, rather than a Beatles song. Plenty of other bands have covered it regularly, from the Feelies to Screaming Trees to Luna to Pavement. >Stuart D. song, and isn't Landslide an Isobel one? >> hmmm i have localized these tracks to be covers but i am not sure, >> >> - Turn Turn Turn (the Byrds) >> - The Kids Are Alright (the Who) >> - In A Nutshell (Orange Juice) >> - What Goes On (Beatles) >> - Poupee de Cire, Poupee de Son (France Gall) > > Yep, but also there are: > >An R.E.M. song whose name escapes me >"Shadows Breaking Over My Head," by the Left Banke >"Reel Around the Fountain" by the Smiths +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Stuart played that during the rehearsal in DC, though it wasn't in the show. and i was tickled to death, cos i LOVE old REM. yes i'm gonna be in DC on wednesday night!! we gonna party or what? i can dance now too, so we can dance and everything, and whatever else. yeah. all the pretty girls better watch out. dear blakie, you'll have to fight me off for your marriage proposal! :) *kiss kiss* to alyssa marie, we are Losing It together. that's all for today, except yeah. you all made me laugh today. i went dancing last night so i slept all day, dancing is SOOOO tiring it's unbelievable. i like dancing to madonna best of all. madonna rules. i was sad though that i missed dancing to "ray of light" cos i was too shy to go out there by myself. and i wasn't yet saucy enough to pretend i was making love to the cage bars on the upper level of the dance floor. poor sod i am. and i ended up weepy anyway, by the end of the evening. as usual. i'm getting used to crying evey other night, but now i've said too much.......

What will they think of next? I just got an e-mail via mobile phone from Honey -- who has apparently recovered a bit from the vapours and wants to know if there are any Sinisterines in Galway who would like to get together with Linda and him for a Guinness. If you are and would, write me and I'll put you in touch. --michele +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: sweetness follows
by fountainhead 20 Jul '99

20 Jul '99

i saw rem on saturday and, despite me being seated at the very wrong end of the manchester nynex, it was a great show. stipeys acoustic spot is a sight, and sound, to behold. i only spotted one 'study at stowe' shirt all night. driving up from nottingham was great too. i have a gybe tape that someone made me, and it was wonderful music to listened to as i sped mightily over the pennines. it would be a fine soundtrack to die to, but my brakes are in fine fettle, so there were no such disasters. f. -- fountainhead(a)earthling.net busy - http://fly.to/balls doing - http://listen.to/chemex nothing - http://fly.to/fountain -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Hello to you all! Just thought I'd de-lurk myself to say how much fun everyone seemed to have at the Up Top bar in Melbourne last Sunday - Sodastream started the evening with an excellent set, including a couple of new songs. Only problem was the amount of people talking instead of listening to the music...nothing against fellow list member Chris! Sleepy Township then came on - mellow, folky, keyboardy - get their CD if you can, it's wonderful. Inbetween bands, DJs were playing French pop old and new. A great night, and hello to fellow sinisterians who were there and all my Belle and Sebastian friends who read this post. Jason. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
