by Mike Jones 29 Jul '99

stu d is amazing. i was at the other music instore monday night...i was blown away. fr anyone at the show, i was the one in the plaid shirt standing RIGHT IN FRONT of stuart. for the record, he does not smell of wee at all. sigh, at the point that he started who's afraid of y2k, he asked ronnie for a pick...i had one in my pocket, in my hand but i was too sheepish to hand it to him....sigh....i did talk to him for a few mins while he signed tigermilk and up a tree for me...he said the song is called winter wooksie...i told him all the new songs were excellent and he said thank you very much...i also told him about how impossible things #2 makes me all teary eyed becuz the story is nearly exactly how i met my girlfriend, save for the fact that the letters are replaced by emails. i must've thanked and praised him a hundred times in the span of 2 minutes. i also told wee karn that i love all her art, and i tried to tell ronnie that i love his photography but i dont think he heard me. i'm still in awe of the performance. standing less than 2 feet away from one of yr heroes, watching him work his magic, and then getting to speak to him....it's a wonderful expreience. i got my driver's license today. it's a very strange prospect...i'm trusted on the roads all by myself now...scary. also, don't recall if anyone mentioned it, but select magazine gave tigermilk a perfect 5 point review. one last thing. i picked up snow patrol's 2 starfighter pilot CDs on monday...does anyone else agree that richard's "bad belle" remix is radder than the original? ok, that'll about do it. aloha, mike j **ape shall never kill ape** +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Back on the scene, and fighting keen
by Graham MacArthur 28 Jul '99

28 Jul '99

Hey peeps, I met someone who was Suited and Booted a few days ago (where that line was stolen from, for non My Life Story fans - p.s Shame on you!) a full suit, complete with pocketwatch! It was joyous! My friend Matt and I walked around Huddersfield town getting stared at. I havent had so much fun in ages.... I've been away, driving miles across different countrysides (ending up at the seaside). The first trip took me to yorkshire to be congregated with the rest of my northern family for a grande clear out of the biggest house in birkby (now sadly has to be sold, because we're all skint and my grandma needs to be kept in reader's digests). We were sat around the table the night I got there, when the moment I was waiting for arrived. They asked me The Question. "So, Erica" (this is aunty sue, at this point) "Do you have a boyfriend?" Five sets of beady eyes burn into me. My Mum has four sisters, and they all have the same old-fashioned values. I smile slightly, at this point.. "No". I feel like I should apologise. Instead I stare into my tea and pray for someone else to break the silence. The second trip took me to Whitstable, the kentish seaside. I stayed for a short time but I feel a hundred times better than I did when I left. People who can! come to the fuck-off massive picnic this saturday and I'll tell you all about le grande race around the anchored boat nearly resulting in jellyfish sting-horror! I guess that serves everyone right for stripping down to their PANTS in the dark and diving right in. What! Is! This!.....feeling called love, Jarvis Sang in sexy-jarvis style. He was singing it to me while I was away and you were all tapping away your precious thoughts and feelings. Why do we try to explain things like love? It's like magic, you're not meant to know. You're not Paul Daniels, no more than you are Harry White. Look at geoff, he's obviously The Doc from Back To The Future in disguise. If he was standing next to be when he said all that woo-ha about the science of love, I would have made my hand look like a duck and open and close the beak in time with his words, in proper childish fashion, but then, the closest I ever came to love was shattered when I saw my then-beau wearing crap shoes. It wasn't meant to be. Anyone who could team gold Rebok Classics with red socks doesn't deserve my affection. I think I've written quite enough, don't you? Love Erica x p.s I'm going to me seeing Marine Research tommorow. I'll be wearing my usual blurry face. Do say hello if you're there. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Urban Myths..
by Stephen Heister 28 Jul '99

28 Jul '99

Hello People, Umm.. Just to assure whoever it was that said that American Listee's were dwindling, I AM STILL HERE!! And, i am a Geek. A big one as what first attracted me to B&S was their Pop/Folk chord combos fascinating! And while we are destroying stereotypes. I am also very tall. :-) At any rate i made some statements earlier about the nature of love, primarily that you can't find someone who completes you when your not sure who you are. Well i have something to add, primarily that, this statement however true it, Like everything else, is a contradiction. While we are being dorks, it is know fact that your personality (unknown to us of course) changes about every six months. WHich means that you can never really "know" yourself. Only get a good idea. So that makes me think that love would be when the person hangs around and changes with you, and it doesn't bother them, that your changing. So it doesn't really make sense to say that you look at personality first because it is in a constant state of flux. Of course this could just be justification for myself looking at someone's beauty first. (but damn-it i like my vanity) Anyway this leads me to believe that love is forgiving and adaptable. Not much B&S content here so i will add this last line. Gosh B&S are Swell aren't they??

Sinister: Belle, the Lord and Ive been friends for a mighty long time
by poetryplace2 28 Jul '99

28 Jul '99

Ahoy there, playmates TIMOTHY HOPKINS CD (DECEASED) All is quiet in the trousers-hopkins-hall household. Mostly because Tim hasn t moved in yet. However, his record player has, which has led me to invent a hilarious pastime to while away the long summer evenings. For this hilarious pastime you will need the following equipment: one (1) glass of weak lemon drink; a selection of assorted popular music lps. First drink your glass of weak lemon drink. Then find a tune guaranteed to offend Mr Hopkins delicate P!O!P! sensibilities. Then play it very loud. So far I have played The Pixies Come on, Pilgrim; Laughter, Tears and Rage by post-Propaganda ZTT losers Act; Introspective by the Pet Shop Boys; Aja by Steely Dan; Exile on Main Street by The Rolling Stones; Blue Bell Knoll by The Cocteau Twins and Babelogue by Raymonde. We still have one week to go, so any further suggestions will be gratefully received at the usual address. NOW THATS WHAT I CALL NOODLY ARTROCK DROSS YOU MORON Iron Mike Jones burbled: Early Brian Eno? Yes please! You can never have too much Eno in your life. This year is proving to be a bit of an Indian Summer for ludicrous pop-conceptualists, with both Scritti Politti and Art of Noise remerging with confections of perfection, much to my delight (and I suspect, Mr Joness). Actually, I don t think theres any such thing as an unconcious influence when youre as self-conscious as Mr Merritt. I still think he should call his forthcoming soixanteneuf-er More Songs about Songs and Songs. Mike also mentioned funny Americanisms; I have always wandered about the phrase ass-backwards which roughly translates as wrong way round. But surely it should be ass-forwards? No? ELECTRIC HONEY Perusing The Guardian Guide this weekend I noticed an ad for the forthcoming Cropreddy Festival, where Fairport Convention will once again kick out the jams, motherfucker. Halfway down the bill, who should I see billed but The Honey Band. So thats what hes been up to, the sly devil. Talking of Honey and folk rock, I was interested to see that the ringletted minstrelle Kate Jugsby has been nominated for a Mercury Music Award this year, along with The Manic Street Preachers and The Stereophonics (shurely some redundancy here). The Guardian call her an outsider, so I think the Mighty Arm of Sinister oughta rig this award too. MUSIC FOR GIRLS Carsmilesteve mentioned in a throwaway fashion that his mates band were going to be playing with Baxendale in London on Saturday. You should definitely all go, cos Baxendale are the cats pyjamas, the mules eyebrows, the dogs bollocks, and the best pop group Ive seen all year. Even the fact that singer jumped off the stage and landed on my bad foot the last time I saw them cannot douse my ardour. I share this opinion with Dickon Edwards and Matt Haynes and Darren Hefner, so I must be right. THE BIG SHEEP This month I have mostly been reading the Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami. If you go to Waterstones at the moment you can get a big discount on his new book South of The Border, West of The Sun which is very B&S-friendly, all about falling in love with a young girl with a wonky leg and listening to scratchy old records. All his other books are fantastic too. Actually, I had a gander through the archives, and it seems that people were telling you all this ages ago, but I had never heard of him before, which goes to show how much attention I pay. Ive read more good books this year than I have heard good records, which must mean I am getting old. Until next time Stevie Trousers xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Wicked. Oh sheer genius. But how about if Michaela Strachan was dead and was a ghost and she could wear a white dress and could appear and disappear as and when she likes. also when she does this everyone must first stand still and then move suddenly. Yeah, it might just work, Waterman and Strachen deceased. sounds familiar but I like it.

Re: Sinister: Belle, the Lord and I?ve been friends for a mighty long time?
by Nick.Dastoor＠guardian.co.uk 28 Jul '99

I like Stephen's* way of writing with clear HEADINGS dividing up the DIFFERENT SECTIONS of his EMAIL. I think I will adopt this format. FEMALE MASTURBATION What a lot of rot you all speak. Female masturbation isn't taboo at all. Not where I come from. It's really cool! Well, I wouldn't bring it up at Sunday school, but in all other circles it's positively de rigeur. Women who talk about the things they get up to 'down below' are afforded great respect. They're sexually liberated! They're sophisticated! They're positively chic! Whereas talk of male wanking is invariably doomed to dissolve into sniggering. Look at Stuart singing about that boy updating his list of his ten biggest wanks. I don't think he meant this in a good way. Mind you, Stuart might just have a Presbytarian guilt complex about it. Do those exist? FISTING Sorry, not fisting. Ailsa says she saw me bobing my head up and down in the footage of 'The Boy with the Arab Strap' at Camber Sands that MTV showed. Well how odd. I've only seen it twice because I don't own a video player, but I'm sure I looked very carefully and couldn't see me at all. Which was very disappointing as before this David and Katrina had said that when they watched the whole thing I was very visible. Maybe I just don't know what I look like. There was one person I thought was me but then I realised it was a girl. LOVE You're all mad. BELLE & SEBASTIAN They're great, aren't they! Nick xx * He's called Stephen you know, not Trousers or anything really. He laughs inwardly when people call him Trousers because it means he has succeeded in pulling the wool over people's eyes. I don't know why he enjoys doing this. He used to go around quite literally pulling the wool over people's eyes, but found that it was easier just doing it with metaphors. I've just read a book laden with metaphors. I found it irksome. It's called 'A Boy's Own Story' and it's by Edmund White and it includes several passages of underage gay sex so you might like it. But it irked me. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: (LONDON)marine research meet up & club after saturdays picnic??
by Taylor JM 28 Jul '99

28 Jul '99

thanks martin for posting all the details, ermm sorry if i trod on anybodys toes in terms suggesting meeting up at the **** eagle on royal college street (old eagle???...sorry memeory doesn't work) NB NOT THE (ususal) SPREAD EAGLE on PARKWAY !! .....not guranteed to be a great pub, but independantly id'd by two people as ok, and most importantly next to the Falcon - as things start so early we thought it better to be close by to start with to save mad dashes across Camden. So hopefully i'll not be sat on my own 'till 7.30. And if you want to hear my theories/wafflings/stuff i've read etc on twin souls/soul mates/etc (or highly recommended books), or tell me yours, i'd be most interested. better still if you're a partner from a previous life (without loads of endless shit(-ve karma) to work out between us), you know where i'll be. or ....well anyway. + everybody up for "northern Soul, sixties beat, spaced out funk, hammond grooves club after pic nic on saturday night? loose @ hq club, camden lock.(0171 485 6044 for club info) (the flier says) went a few weeks ago with other to be sinister list members (you here yet ???) and was good. (apolgies for possible lack of this making sense - being kicked out of comp room) bye As martin said Marine Research are playing the Camden Falcon Thursday, doors open 7.30 pm and MR on at 8.15 pm. They are playing before Brassy who is John Spencers's sister's band and Venini which is ex-Pulp man Russell Senior's band. Tickets are �5 (�4 with concessions). The plan is to meet up at the pub opposite the Falcon which has an Eagle and another word in it's name. If you know this word you're a better person than I. The address of the Falcon is 234 Royal College Street so the pub will probably be similar. Jim will be there at 6.45 pm precisely and will great any friendly faces with open arms. He will be wearing his Jim issue purple trousers and a Mogwai T-shirt. I'll be there about 7 hopefully wearing something clean if I do some washing and maybe even ironed but I doubt it.

Sinister: black sessions (belle and sebastian this time!)
by John Mahoney 28 Jul '99

28 Jul '99

Well, this monday I woke up knowing that I'd really like to have a copy of the Black Sessions on tape. I remember talks of setting up a tape tree when they were first broadcast, but I guess that never happend, or it did without me knowing. So if anyone has a copy of this and would like to trade it for something with me, that would be very nice. The only B&S material I have is the Radio 1 bowlie broadcast (which mr. andreas was so nice to record for me). Even though they cut a few songs, I still enjoy it very much. I also have a few other things at: www.geocities.com/soho/lofts/2968 (reading this over I realize that first sentence is ungodly cheesey, but Expectations had just started up.)
