Well go to to our webpage, have a look around (we can tell if you don't!!) and then press onto the Belle And Sebastian pages where you'll find a Mary Jo button.

Sinister: napier university
by Pamela Hutchinson 12 Jul '99

12 Jul '99

Hello, I'm writing this to the list because I think that it is the best way not to offend anyone. If you don't have anything to do with Napier Univeristy than this will be very very dull. I just received a very lovely mail from a girl who from the Pollution Research Unit at Napier UNiversity saying she had read my last mail to the list and enjoyed it. But it had confused her cos she isn't on Sinister, it was on her internal staff bulletin board - wanted/for sale! - I think she might have meant an intranet type thing. I looked in the list membership on the sinister site and found one person immediately who is from this uni. I don't know if it is anything to do with that person which is why I am writing to the whole list. Obviously, I'm not worried about people reading that sinister message - it wasn't terribly private, but cos I don't really understant this type of thing, I'm worried that someone's mail is 'leaking' (is that a really silly thing to say) into the wrong place. Well, I don't really know what the problem is, but I thought it might be worth alerting someone to the fact that a sinister post has been misdirected or lost or something. I'm not trying to criticise anyone, but I think somone might want to check that this doesn't happen to their personal messages or that this message board doen't get clogged up by us. Erm, If anybody wants to email me privately about this, then I could give them more details. Sorry to sound so anal. I still haven't got my tigermilk from jeepster, praps that what it is. lots of love pamela enthusiasm on the wane... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

hello ye sinster people the powers that be hath gifted me 'a voice' so that i may become a living and breathing part of this list. as i'm sure you're all far too busy listening to your shiny new copies of 'tigermilk', i'll be brief. i just wanted to say a bit of a hello. if you're interested, my name is either lee or fountainhead (spot the real one). i'm 22. i live in nottingham. i'm just getting over my annual personal crisis which means that it should be about eleven and a half months before i even dream of bothering you with personal problems. aside from the lovely b&s you might find me listening to radiohead, rem, the tindersticks, blur, christy moore, the bluetones and anyone who played at bowlie. ok, there a a couple of hundred others, but nobody cares. that's about it. i've enjoyed reading your messages over the last few weeks, and hated being prevented from replying to many of them. such is life. be good now, and i'll see you all soon. f. -- http://fly.to/fountain (if you like) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Well she was just seventeen...
by bkim0＠dept.english.upenn.edu 12 Jul '99

12 Jul '99

Sinistars, Someone asked about a song during a Simpsons episode (the chili pepper one). I think it's "Seventeen" by Janis Ian. A nice song isn't it? Almost B&S-like in its gentle folk sound but somewhat bittersweet observation/reflection. (There, I did it, married Simpsons discussion with B&S! Feel like I've tied a maraschino cherry stem with my tongue) Not to be confused with "When I was seventeen, I drank some very good beer..." I hope people are making an effort to see Marine Research as they trudge across this vast land of ours. They put on a great show and are really nice folks to boot. They were awesome in Philly last Thursday...anybody to share? Apparently Cathy wasn't feeling all that well (they were going to see a doctor but they had no time) but you didn't see her refuse to play. (Ouch!) I kid, I kid. I kid because I love. Peter Momtchiloff is an amazing guitarist btw. Up there with Johnny Marr, Graham Coxon, Maurice Deebank and of course whoever played guitar in the Monochrome Set natch. Maybe I'm alone in thinking this but B&S are going to have a really tough act to follow with _Tigermilk_ re-released this week. Now instead of the elite few sniffing "Eh it's not as good as _Tigermilk_", *everybody* is going to sniff the same sentiment, and everyone will nod knowingly instead of shrugging and saying "I wouldn't know, I haven't heard it yet..." Man, that was annoying for a while I must say. You fuckers!!! You know who you are!:) Oh, there I go again. About this Mick^3 being 35 business--maybe he has a verbal case of Werner Syndrome? You know what would take care of that, a good hot poultice. (Showing my premature age there with that one) Tiger what? Tiger who? (with apologies to Jay-Z) Xavier BXK bkim0(a)dept.english.upenn.edu | www.english.upenn.edu/~bkim0 It's what kind of hair you have on the inside that counts.--G.S. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I learned the truth at seventeen...
by Justin Williams 12 Jul '99

12 Jul '99

Hello all, I was wondering if you anyone out there can help me with a nameless song I have had in my head for the past few weeks or so...you know the chili pepper Simpsons episode? Well when Homer is looking for his soulmate, there is a song playing that goes "I learned the truth at seventeen, that love was meant for beauty queens and high school girls with clear skin smiles...who married young and then retired.." and I absolutely love it. Who sings it and what is it called? Any help would be much appreciated =) I hope everyone is doing wonderfully... Justin W "Where am I going to sleep tonight? Who cares! What is the world doing? Have new gods been discovered, new laws, new freedoms? Who cares! But up here a primrose is blossoming and bearing silver fuzz on its leaves, And the light sweet wind is singing below me in the poplars, and between My eyes and heaven a dark golden bee is hovering and humming -- I care about that. It's song is my history of the world." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Smiths+Good Luck=Lucksmiths???
by Arantxa Sanz 12 Jul '99

12 Jul '99

>From analysing who influenced Belle and Sebastian or carry on influencing them along their works,to see they have become 'Influential' too : The Lucksmiths are playing in Nottingham in ten days and they are announced as some pocketsized B&S.Lovely definition.Really manageable and wee. My personal difference between Smiths and Belle and Sebastian is the breath of hope and the humble tone these latter choose for their tunes.Could it be called 'luck'? I am afraid 'luck'just means 'chance' in English (at least,British-English),it is not itself a positive or optimistic or hopeful term.Could someone explain to me this? Thanks a lot.

Sinister: It were all Munchener Freiheit around here when I was a lad
by Mark Casarotto 12 Jul '99

12 Jul '99

Hmmm. Alex said: "It's odd how many people are under the assumption that being a B&S fan means we all share the same mindset and are all Soul Mates, which I find vastly amusing. Me thinks perhaps it is because of the median age of listees, late teens, early 20's." Mark says in reply: Don't you think it's kind of a good thing that people who are part of this community feel comfy enough to share their thoughts and concerns without having to worry about people abusing or patronising them? Or perhaps I'm just prickly, having moaned long and hard on the list a couple of days ago. And don't even *think* about blaming it on people's ages - I really wouldn't go down that path, chum... Moving on - this Tigermilk launch thing in London tonight - does it really start at 11? Oh dear - 25 and perpetually knackered - if anyone from the list is going, *please* drop me a line and let me know as Miss Vicky (resplendent in her plaster cast which could really benefit for some sinister witticisms) and I still need some persuading (alternatively, write to me and tell me not to go - it'd be the best for all concerned, I expect) Urgh - work is on the busy side, so bye f'now - oh yes, MissV and I should be heading back over to NYC in October, so if anyone wants to do funky and possibly illegal things with us, please let me know .... Urgh was the word...

Sinister: finally, a break in the clouds
by Emanuel Brown 12 Jul '99

12 Jul '99

hello lovelies don't really know what the weather is like on the other side of the pond, but here in nyc its been nothing but oppressive heat & humidity. maybe if i could get my copy of tigernipple i could fan myself with it (actually its quite lovely here today, a breezy 80). as you've already heard the li'l nyc pic-a-nic was a fine way to waste a summer afternoon. the cloisters are absolutely peaceful and serene, a nice break from the stinky trash hustle bustle further downtown (those of you hal hartley-savvy kids will remember the cloisters as being the convent at the end of 'amateur'). hats off to all involved, megan, brian, laurel, ben & marie, for putting up with me even tho' i think there was some puzzlement over who the hell i am (not a frequent posterboy). its funny to put a face with the words you see on the list, almost queers the deal as the adorable marie pointed out (alas we are all just real people after all). the soft & fuzzy elevator was definitely another highlight. its almost too weird to describe... tigertitty is finally here in the states, but i haven't run off to get it yet. i kinda feel unmotivated by the whole thing. all of this concern over b&s making smart business decisions is wearing thin also. they are a band of musicians, and damn good ones at that. let 'em do what they need to fer chrissakes! myths and legends are nice, but they are simply thus. there should be a warning label on each b&s record that states: not to be taken internally! if so, flush system with generous amounts of the mekons or possibly black sabbath (extreme cases) until dizziness goes away :] looper will be here soon, as will a slew of other bands i wanna see. all strung together under the silly guise of digitalclubfest99 or some such nonsense where you are expected to pay $50 for a pass that may or may not get you into see the shows of your choice (its first come first serve). thanks to the reviewer of the canadian looper gigs for the heads up. okay. back to work for me and onto other posts for you. bye / emanuel Free, fast e-mail accessible anytime, anywhere http://www.imaginemail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
