I've seen mailing lists self-destruct over religous "discussions" that end in hurt feelings. So. Let me say with caution, that I think Stuart can't be too anti-religious if he's the caretaker for a church, eh? not too many people employed by churches hate their employers.. after all, he could just live somewhere else, now that he's a rock star. I think there's a certain dissatisfaction with forms of organized religion evident in the music of Belle and Sebastian. However, i think that many people are dissatisfied with the churches of today. Many others love them, though, and I wouldn't presume to judge either category. let me just recommend the sleeka sounds website to all you who have the decency to care about my posts. Very good stuff; I just got a tape from Massa Leonard in the mail the other day and positively loved it. fantastic stuff. it's made the drive to work much nicer... http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~calnd/sleeka/ PS i agree that prodding at the stars for the rationale behind their works may be the reason that Belle and Sebastian are so media shy. This makes everything that you can't easily come by that much more fascinating. no-one cares about live Steps shows; everything is just like the CD. Not so Belle and Sebastian. They throw in alternate versions, unreleased tunes, etc. So when rumor of a bootleg surfaces, we all flail around trying to find it. Same with mister salinger's stories. They could be like POPkins' tale of celebrity feces, but because he never puts out much in the way of material, we'd scoff up the fetid little droppings. Not that the Legendary Hopkins stories are shite. They were just about it. no offense. lots of love to all dave (moonman) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The loneliness of a late-night worker
by William Messent 16 Aug '99

16 Aug '99

How's tricks POPtarts? I'm very well thankyou for asking, absolutely gagging for stories of lust and debauchery from the evening of Tigermilking on Friday. Where was I? Erm, at a 25th wedding anniversary party. In Guildford. Not very rock 'n' roll I admit, but commitments are commitments. I'm experiencing a confusing mix of emotions, as I am on a late shift at work, yet have just discovered a way to get internet access on my computer, so I can bore youse lot senseless with the late-night ramblings of an overworked mind. Great news, but I can't help but feel it's going to end with me getting the sack. I just got my tickets through for the Yo La Tengo gig in September at ULU. I'm not familiar with this venue, but can only assume that it stands for University of London University (so good they named it twice). Anyway, I'll be the one in the suit looking like a young Jeffrey Bernard, vodka in hand. Why not come over and exchange pleasantries? Me & my friends are not as scary as we look. Did anyone see Top of the Pops on Friday, or were you all out 'raging' as they say in Neighbours? It's getting boring these days isn't it (TOTP, not Neighbours. Though come to think of it...)? Here's hoping that the next B&S EP is eligible for the charts and we get to see our homies rockin' out with Gail Porter/Jamie Theakston. Does he still present it? Hmm. Anyway.

Sinister: Notre Damage
by Tim Hopkins 16 Aug '99

16 Aug '99

Hello chaps, I write to you at the wrong end of a glorious weekend in Paris, where I felt many bakers' pain. Au Chocolat. While other people were out being Sartre in the cafes or Freddie Mercury in the shoeshops, I was looking at paintings and churches. After that I did The Drinking. I bought the most expensive gin and tonic I've ever seen, and it started messing with my head. I don't know what they put in their gin in Paris but it made me crazy. Unfortunately I seemed to miss out on the SexyCool part of the CrazySexyCool package. I was more CrazyGibberingArsehole. That's what happened to me this weekend. And The Lucksmiths were especially wonderful. I like the Lucksmiths very much. I like them not having some embarrassing drummer who only ever gets off his drumstool to apply the Preparation H to his arse grapes of wrath. Some of my best friends are drummers. Johnny Marr and Oasis deserve each other, the wankers. If you go to Glasgow, don't go near that Alasdair Cooke bloke, because he'll have skinned you alive within seconds of meeting you. If you must talk to him, make sure you're not wearing a wristwatch and that your money is safely under lock and key. Last time I was in Glasgow I was accosted and followed by a wild-eyed, flame-haired loon whose devilishly handsome visage was betrayed by the insanity which lurked obviously in his eyes. He kept shouting "Gall! Gainsbourg!" at me and dribbling slightly. He wouldn't shut up until I felt his 'pain'. It was OK. Seemed to call himself McStaggered or something like that. He didn't glass me but he was waving the pointy end of a very dangerous looking Pastels badge at me. Ages ago, Oon mentioned her favorite coffee table reading: > 1989 'how to shit in the woods': an environmentally > sound approach to a lost art Yes and better still was its 1992 sequel, which concerned arborial constipation: 'I Can't Bear It'. Har. That's enough, baby that's enough. Tim x Oh yes and PS Marcus The Band of Holy Joy had their moments and those moments were awe-inspiringly brilliant. Which song? Did you get to keep the cub uniform? _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: oops v>twin
by Claire Timmins 16 Aug '99

Guess this why they leave things up to the professionals. Unjustifiably I thought that everyone would have read before that the v->twin gig was at Glasgow School of Art, thats why I just referred to it as 'art school'. sorry for any unnecessary excitement caused. clur* ______________________________________________________ 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: I'm in a mess, I'm in Abbesses
by Michael Jones 16 Aug '99

16 Aug '99

Rue de Lepic to be precise, 18eme Arr. Or *was*, to push the accuracy dinghy out a little further. Ego, The Windmills, The Lucksmiths and Sportique flying the flag for Matinee Recordings in a little boat moored on the Left Bank. A smattering of Sinister presence, the atmosphere of a school trip (but where the smoking and drinking were compulsory rather than clandestine) and a city full of shockingly lovely architecture for the gawping. As an alternative to the super-fine delights of Tigermilking, I suspect Paris in August just about did us OK. A couple of us were a little, shall we say, Beyond Thunderdome on Saturday night though. A tad Turnered. We didnt need another hero, but we were gasping for two pints of tap water and three Advil. Ailsa made some biting remark about my outstripping her in the embarrassment stakes at the last picnic; round our way its considered right classy to hitch your boxers up an inch or two for general perusal, especially if theyre a vivid red with a cycling motif. Not that that actually happened. Propellers to Lixi and UptonActuallyPartOfBirkenhead Pam for the dazzling photos. If you squint at 'Football' you can see the precise moment I pulped my right knee ligaments. Meanwhile, over on the genre-defining 'PamAndLixisPicnic', Hopkins can be seen symbolically laying down in front of Industry Behemoth Kitchen - a kind of PopTianamen moment. To the extreme left, DM-C-UK is depicted flipping through an old photo album for the benefit of Alix "This was Focus on their 72 tour - to be frank, Im not sure Fishguard knew what to make of them". Hunger drags me away, Mike. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: She felt like her enthusiasm would rip her heart out or her chest
by Pamela Hutchinson 16 Aug '99

16 Aug '99

Hello list! Ive just woken up after a very Belle and Seb weekend indeed. Starting off on Friday nite at Tigermilking, can I say hats off to the supasta DJs? Now this girl danced all night not the finest display of moves ever seen, perhaps, but fun all the same. I dooo like a boogie! And I won a prize, not for the dancin' of course... On Saturday nite my drunken debauchery was given an added element of sinisterness by the presence of Miss Lixi Campbell. Yes, I kidnapped her and subjected her to booze, footie and some horrible music by those rather juvenile a**l c**t people. Well, it wasnt strictly me, but my evil henchmen. Still, Im sure she loved it all. Maybe if Im lucky shell speak to me when she recovers from the trauma We also sent some lovely picnicpics to Honey. Prepare to cringe in shame as your wicked antics are broadcast for all to gawp at! Then on Sunday nite, I watched The Acid House. Now I am very aware of the dangers of talking about films on the list (speshly as I am, technically, a filmgeek). But I would say its great, although as you probably guessed the sebby-soundtracked moments will rip your guts out of your mouth via your heart. Pure emotion, and hey Mr Mckidd nice tache! The film is worth the rental for the line Eh, look at that, Boab Coyle! alone which doesnt sound much but will make you wet your pants and scream with laughter. Well it worked on me and henchman no 2. And THEN, if all that wasnt enough to make this pam glam Mr Moore goes and says the word inscape on the list. And I felt slightly less alone. One of these days I will unleash my four quartets/summer wasting theory on Sinister. It was laughed at at the Oxford piccernic, but someone somewhere will care about my ridiculous rambles? I have to say that I heartily endorse the idea of a Richmond Park piccernic, speshly on the weekend of the 21st and 22nd cos thats when I come back from my hols. As I am clearly not a list celebrity, this endorsement appears free. No I wont accept a penny. Cant really help organise it cos Ill be in Russia, but I promise to drink too much and dance like a loon for your delite if you turn up. luv glampam xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *encapsulating the wirral squirrel, wyre squire and SW london burb factions of the list in one deliteful package!* +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: give me your hands..
by Claire Timmins 16 Aug '99

16 Aug '99

darlings, I dont actually want your hands that would be too much, although perhaps a couple more would be a benefit... But NO! I need your fingers, and I'd like them crossed. Thank you. My friday the 13th was strange and good. I went to see the delightful El Hombre Trajeado, and my second icelandic experience of my life - both on the same day...mum - very nice..lots of plink plonk and sploosch or is that swoosch. The rest of the day was boring. But I found my paradise on saturday and im currently in the middle of a flatleasing war. It is very tense, but I need those fingers crossed. A worldwide plea should help my case. see you all at the v-twin gig...yeah? ta ra,ra-ra-rasputin Claire ______________________________________________________ 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: Maul Meanies
by Sleeka Sounds 16 Aug '99

16 Aug '99

Morning, I had another fucking great star wars dream last night. First I was fighting Darth Maul, and I was getting tanned, so I poured some water over him and put out his lightsaber. Then the Emperor got me and he took me to a cafe and told me "I'm gonna kill you". But the Red Arrows flight display team knew of his whereabouts so they drew a Star of David in the sky. The Emperor hated this and shouted "close those fucking curtains". Spotting his weakness I attempted to draw the Star of David on his hand, using a bic pen. Unfortunately, I forgot how to draw one. "What are you doing?", he said. "Nothing". But then I had a flash of inspiration - holy water. Sith Lords fucking hate holy water. But alas, there was no water about, only the Emperor's cup of tea. So I secretly prayed to Jesus to bless the cup of tea - and do you know what? It worked!!! The Emperor drank the holy cup of tea and melted like a bitch. Yes! Oh yeah, Amphetamenies are playing somewhere in Edinburgh on Friday, and King Tuts in Glasgow on Saturday. If you haven't heard them, they're really good. Ska ska ska Skinheads like them, but they're usually to busy skanking down the front to steal your carry out. I think Newtown Grunts are supporting, who are good fun too. If you go to Amphetamenies you get to look at Jane the girl singer, who is dreamy, and Mick Cooke (who *will* show you his arse for a pound). GET YER BAWS OOT!!! That's what my old driving instructor used to say.
