Sinister: Conga like you mean it
by nickie 07 Jul '99

Hello, kids. most of you won't know me...but those who do will almost certainly be dancing a conga round the room right now. My poor fools! There you sit, your innocent pupils dancing along these lines with ne'ry an idea, how life changing my re-appearance on the sinister scene is. yes! due to an unprecedented number of *two* people casually wondering why, after my first five posts, i never wrote again i'm back! well, this adoring multitude of two can thank their lucky stars for spurring on my glorious come back - like the George Michaels to my Gerry Halliwell. good work fellas. and good work, indeed, to messrs. geddes and colburn, who dj'd over here in dublin last friday. don't think anyone wrote about it...and if they did, and you would rather die than have to hear about it again - tough. it was my first time on a guest list ever. projected my voice so that the maximum amount of people could hear. not really. da boyz played loads of funky stuff and northern souly stuff, and the stones and the who and the small faces and primal scream adn a bit of hip-hop and more.No cloak room, so it was back to dancing round my bag, in true bowlie style. not only that, but as in bowlie i was the sweatiest sogbag in the place. List crush? List slush more like.Danced all night long. It were great. the belles were in freebird records earlier in the day, so a chum of mine who works there got them to autograph two cds for me. apparently, little lord murdoch refused to sign until the inlay cards were taken out of the sleeves for him, and after doing a couple pulled a strop and refused to sign any more. ROCK N' ROLL!!! The I.F.Y.F.S. one says "Stuart Murdoch thinks he's great" and then Chris writes "So do I" and the D.O.W says "Hello Punter! - Beans - Stuart M." i know i should scorn autographs, because its just accepting the myth of the pop-star and how they're superior to us mere mortal scum, but i was pleased. that Richard Colburn is a lovely bloke. i remember talking to him at bowlie about me actually being Nick Heyward or some other drunken rubbish. He couldn't stop laughing, and i went off thinking that i was the funniest person, like, ever...till my friend told me that he does that to everyone. or maybe they were just jealous that's probably what it was. nickie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: why does my heart hurt so much?
by sandra morales 07 Jul '99

07 Jul '99

So, I have finally been given the gift of speechand insteas of wanting to rant about B+S as this list encourages I want to complain to all of you about the way my heart has been ripped in half by the man that supposedly loves(loved)me. So instead of telling you how much I love B+S and how Tigermilk is the best album ever I will instead try to explain the way I'm feeling. Cruches seems to be the topic of the week and that is the only relevance that this letter has to this list. I started off by having a massive cruch on this man but when we realised our mutual feelings we started going out with each other. That was 8 months ago and for all that time I have loved, cherished and worchipped him because when i fall in love I fall very hard. Anyway, Lat night i saw this "god" coming out of a friends bedroom half dressed leaving a naked woman lying in bed.I cannot understand why he did this to me. What have I done wrong to deserve having my tender heart broken. He says that it meant nothing. Since when did sex ever mean "nothing" it can be a mistake but it always means something. I'm not abt to throw my life away because of him but today I woke up and just wished that I could cruel back into bed and never wake up. I can't blame what he did on mtself but I also can't help wondering if it was my fault. Is there anyone decent out ther? Okay I've probably embarrassed just abt everyone on this list and this email will probably just be left in your in-boxes forgotton but if anyone has been through a similar experiance then please mail me privately or if anyone has cheated on the one they love the write and tell me why so that I can try to understand him. It's sandramorales(a)hotmail.com Thanks to everyone for listening Sandy .XXX. ______________________________________________________ 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: Fucking Hit It, Beans!
by David Moore 07 Jul '99

07 Jul '99

Hi Sinistaurs, Is the above really the passionate exhortation expelled by Our Struan towards the climax of LLPJ? (I've been listening to the BBC's bowdlerised B&S Bowlie broadcast - I know its incomplete but you can't really expect more than 45 minutes, & you can't beat what BBC engineers do to a live broadcast sound, as it comes out better than either a studio or the actual gig) Question 2: what's the picture on the Jeepster Mary Jo postcards all about, then? The V-Twin (or should that be VU??) single sounds great: I didn't realise it was them at first, coz the vocals sounded pretty good~ How many B&S members thereon? NME says that their S Murdoch directed video contains live Bowlie footage: does that include front row audience shots? Any comment from our official Jeepster representative :) WARNING! The next bit's an advert so anyone still here just skip if you don't like good music :) (I hope I'm not treading on any Western Australian toes but) the Sodastream ep is great & available now from Pickled Egg records for GBP 2.50: mail Nigel @ nigelt(a)uk.uu.net for details. Apologies for so many questions, Bye, David Moore Chelmsford, UK +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Further London picnic observations...
by Adam Chapman 07 Jul '99

07 Jul '99

Hey, Kids! Further to the comments of Miss vicky [a speedy recovery wished from afar, please remember the tape], i don't really have a lot to add, not being able to regail you with tales of inebriated ramblings; i wasn't there, living in Yeovil is a painful thing sometimes, i had a train to catch. The Saturday at least was wonderful, a big HELLO!! ti you all, twas indeed good to be able to see you all and to place some faces, should like to go to another, if i can get away with another trip to London so soon after the last one. i did not play football, otherwise there would have been far, far worse carnage than one bruised ankle, oh, yes. [iwas known as "chopper" at school for this reason, says it all really...]. Since then i have aquired the Hefner album and have listened to little else since, apart from the much truncated, and i'd say rather creakily edited Bowlie set, which was good, but not great [ though it did fit quite neatly onto one side of a blank cassette i noticed, coincidence, non?]. *The wrong girl* was rather wonderful though i thought, but the absense of "the kids...." is unforgivable i feel, esp as i wasn't there...[sulk! pout!] The MM review of Tigermilk, which i've just read in Smiths, is probably best avoided for the ritual slagging and *Smiffs* comparisons contained therein, but it is notable in its uniqueness, being the only bad 'un i've seen, ho hum... I've had a fair few crushes, some good, some bad, but all great at the time which is after all the point isn't it? May the sunshine on you all, as it did at Primrose Hill on Saturday, and probably Sunday too, Adam XXXXX "Because I know that you know, that we know they don't know whats been going on....

Since Jordi doesn't want to make any more copies of that Barcelona gig would anyone who has gotten a copy be willing to make copies for some more of us? Please?...I have many things to offer in trade. Please email me at whatev(a)en.com and hopefully we can work something out. Any plans for a meet up at the Looper show in Detroit? I'll be coming from out of town and haven't a clue as to where to go or what to do. thanks, Steven >Stop mailing me about the Bowlie-Barcel >ona trade.

Sinister: Who was it that said the world was mainly into horses and spare change?
by robhalcrow＠lineone.net 07 Jul '99

07 Jul '99

Dear all, I'm a lurker now, which I highly recommend, but I've had a very B&S few days which I thought I'd share. I played a gig on Friday, wearing my TBWTAS t shirt, and we were heckled by drunken shouty blokes during the (many) quiet bits. They wanted to RAWK! (and they got their way in the end). My highlight was showing videos of Bagpuss on a b&w portable TV while we played. The promoter liked it anyway. Better than that- this morning I saved 3 confused, blinking baby birds whose nest had fallen off our house. The RSPCA said put them safely in a box with the remains of the nest and their feathery Mum and Dad will come and get them. Or the cats will. One or the other. I'd never seen the video for LLPJ till the other day. It's brilliant. Hilarious. I remember hearing the song on Jo Whiley's show and thinking it was appalling. Funny how you can change your mind, eh? And , is it a trick of the light or do they only employ v pretty girls in B&S vids? They all seem to have this.........no, let's not go down that blind alley. To the person that asked what was first on the Bowlie R1 thing I believe it was 'Slow Graffiti', not 'Seeing Other People' (or 'Seeking Other People' as Steve Lamacq called it). The show was,indeed, arse. Does anyone have a tape of that Mark Radcliffe session where tings got a bit.....frosty and he said something like 'Listen we started you lot off..'? What song did they do? Right, that's my lot. Back into the realms of Lurkdom. I'm off to Glasgow this weekend. See if I can find one of those B&S vid type girls, perhaps.

Sinister: Cool Select (HAS B&S content)
by Kin WOO 07 Jul '99

07 Jul '99

Hello lovely listees- long time no post! This is a belated hi-de-ho-I've finished-my-exams-and-am-now-on-a-well-deserved-if-short-holiday break sort of thing:) hope you all liked my rather cute Summer Solstice card (which if you haven't checked out by now-you should!) I am of course quite upset at the prospect of never seeing that supposedly wondrous B&S special since of course I live here in Australia. Katrina, any chance of that special making its way to our premier late night video show, "Rage"? I've only ever seen the vid for "Dirty Dream 2" which was erm interesting to say the least. I thought it was pretty cool that they picked PE and Air videos to show. I love Air and their dreamy melancholy soundscapes and I can dig the PE. Wow, Select magazine has enjoyed a rejuvenation of late. Not only has it become an unofficial B&S fanzine (the more the merrier I say) but it has fully emerged from that dreadful period in 96/97 when it was fully laddish and blokey (flashback: Oasis and Cast were considered gods, they had articles on pies and pubs and Louise Wener was considered the face of feminism in music: YECK!) Though I miss the black border binding that accompanied the first few issue of the new look Select (and which prevented the covers from coming off like they always do), I am glad to say it's a mag worth reading now, and not the music equivalent of Loaded. Another testament to its new found brilliance is their rating of the excellent and wickedly delightful film "Cruel Intentions" a shining five star rating. AWESOME!!! This film has garnered either really positive reviews and to be expected, a few elitist grumbles, but really it is such a guilty indulgence to watch it. The acting from the three female leads (the amazing Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon and Selma Blair) is faultless, even Ryan Philippe is good, the dialogue so catty and clever, and it adds cool twists to the ancient plot. It is so much more sophisticated that your average teen flick. I've said it before and I'll say it again, London listees, the film has just opened where you are: GO SEE!:) Well that's all folks, till next time. In my stereo: Kruder and Dorfmeister: K&D Sessions Disappointed by the new Catatonia and Suede albums (so samey!) but love the new Beth Orton one. Am hanging out for new stuff from Dot Allison and the Twisted Nerve compilation.

Sinister: There's reason behind my reptile smile
by Mark Casarotto 07 Jul '99

07 Jul '99

Now that I'm back from oiling the wheels of justice (and cutting the brake cable, draining the clutch and peeing in the fuel tank) while on jury service, I can tell you all about the horrific, depraved underworld of the master criminal into which I was submerged for the last fortnight. Except, erm, I can't, as when there are 1,000 potential witnesses listening to you instead of the usual one (or none, more often than not), contempt of court may not be such a good idea... Anyway, it wasn't very interesting, though more interesting than sitting on my arse for eight days waiting to be called onto a trial. No such luck. 2 cases collapsed, 1 delayed, 1 belated guilty plea and two where I made the 15 chosen but ended up being one of the three not in the starting line up. Finally I made it, and as a surprise my other jurors, feeling sorry for me after my over-histrionic tale of woe, made me the foreman. The problem with being the foreman is that you can't give the arsehole for the prosecution the finger as you mumble "not guilty". Hey ho, justice has been served, and all that. I was disappointed not to have to persuade all 11 other angry young men that I was right and they were wrong, as we all agreed within thirty seconds and then ate sandwiches for an hour and a half to make it look like we were hard at thought. It's evident that the most successful thing about this letter is the way I'm bringing to you, the reader, an indication of quite how tedious the whole thing was. Oh well. It would be kind of interesting to know what the Sinister collective's ideal cover song for B&S to perform would be. If anyone wants to write to me and let me know (privately, natch), I shall draft a begging letter to Struan and suggest they play it during their triumphant return to Bowlie II* as surprise guests** in September...... Props again to all the funsters at the London picnics, specially the Sunday one that I could actually go to - and I think the Sinister footie squad would definitely be better for an ex-Camera Obscura player - like Eric Cantona asking to join Billingham Sinfonia. Martin, you're one of us, mate... And on that touching note I'll leave you with a little tale of a B&S dream. Struan was playing a solo gig at some kind of mini-festival - he was followed on stage by a goth band, if that's any idea - and when I shouted "play paper Boat!" he leant down and whispered to me, his lips brushing sensually against my ear. Um. Not quite sure what to make of that, really. If one of Belle and Sebastian left, would they still be the same band? Mark *which you are all going to, of course. Oh go on... **obviously a complete flight of fancy. Please don't think I know things, strange things that man should not know... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
