they wouldn't say a thing. they'd have to have even known these bands existed, for a start. which wouldn't happen. the Belle and Sebastian CD was released in Australia on a major label, fact fans. Australia isn't generally a place that's interested in anything except "rock". with very few exceptions. james. >All I can say is, > >If that hack thinks Belle & Sebastian sound like they play croquet and call >their mothers "Mummy", what would he say about The King of Luxembourg, >Louis >Philippe, The Would-Be-Goods or just about anyone else on (the wonderful) >el >Records? ______________________________________________________ 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".

Oh, and I'll say it again, Rancho will be the place to be Friday Sept 3rd when Elisabeth blows into town and talks Corrie at the third official meet up of the "3 Elizabeths." yay!

Sinister: That Melbourne Review

All I can say is, If that hack thinks Belle & Sebastian sound like they play croquet and call their mothers "Mummy", what would he say about The King of Luxembourg, Louis Philippe, The Would-Be-Goods or just about anyone else on (the wonderful) el Records? Just a thought. robin ------- "God save tudor houses, antique tables and billiards" The Kinks, Village Green Preservation Society, 1968 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Mummy, let me play croquet in my trutleneck with toffee-nosed Brits after this cup of English Breakfast tea.
by *jacqui* 27 Aug '99

27 Aug '99

I've been wanting to pot this for eons, but I've been off the list and then was chained to the nursery. As far as I can tell, no other Melbourne listees have yet posted this amusing review from one of our dailys. It was printed soon after Belle and Sebastian got local distribution here earlier this year. Here goes: The Boy With The Arab Strap Belle and Sebastian +ACoAKg-1/2 For those about to rock: stay away from The Boy With The Arab Strap. A hugely popular cult act in the UK, Belle and Sebastian specialise in the kind of breezy, immaculately arranged Sunday afternoon music that sounds as though it has been made by people who play croquet and call their mothers +ACI-Mummy+ACI-. Impossibly British and turtlenecked in its restraint, it teeters on the tightrope of twee, just winning out thanks to the hummable tunes and the wry satirical edge of its lyrics. Those with an ear for classic orchestrated pop and a taste for all things wistful will enjoy the feather-light production values and sunny ambience. Appreciation of The Boy With The Arab Strap will rest largely on one's reaction to the breathy, toffee-nosed vocals evident throughout, which betray a certain preciousness at the heart of this particular strain of British pop music. A record for fanatical drinkers of English Breakfast tea only. Blokey boozers beware. This, from a publication that also made Mogwai's latest CD of the week with a whopping 5star review. Hope that amuses you for a while.

Sinister: a possible celebrety convert
by LAWRENCE CHARLES MIKKELSEN 27 Aug '99

27 Aug '99

Just thought I'd share a story. I went to see Martin Phillipps (ex- The Chills, now solo-artist) at the Kings Arms tavern in Auckland on Wednesday night. At the end of the concert I spotted TV3 news anchorman John Campbell, a 36 year old who has recently taken over the anchor position on one of New Zealand's major TV network. Anyway, I knew from a radio interview he did last year that he was a really big Edwyn Collins fan, so I went up to him and introduced myself by saying 'Hi - I just had to tell you that you and I share the same favourite album'. He looked at me aghast and said 'what?' and I simply said 'You Can't Hide your Love Forever'. Anyway, he went beszerk, and there was much back slapping, hand shaking and 'wow, I can't believe someone else in New Zealand even knows who Orange juice are ... etc. etc. from him'. He then recanted how the happiest two hours of his life was seeing Edwyn play in 1987, about how the album changed his life etc. I'm 24, and he was pretty stunned that someone of 'my generation' (he's 36) knew anything about them. He's into pretty good music generally (Go-Betweens, Chills etc.) so i asked him if he'd heard of Belle and Sebastian. He said no, but then proceeded to tell me that he'd buy one of their albums the next day, and that I should call him in a week at the TV station and hassle if he hadn't. Thought that was pretty cool. Anyone else converted any famous people to 'our cause'? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Loss of sensation
by Andrew Tracey 26 Aug '99

26 Aug '99

Hey up peeps You may fill up this list with your tales of chocolates and sweets and revel in their deliciousness but please be aware of the consequences. I've just returned from the dentist where my confectionary abuse was laid waste for all to see. After much tut-tuting and jiggery pokery in my cavities (involving a big injection) the whole of the left side of my face is numb. As I sit here waiting for the anaesthetic to wear off it feels as if I've had a stroke. But then I remember - I haven't had a stroke in a long while. So, there's no 'normal masses' in Britain anymore? Witness the 'highlights' of the V99 festival on channel 4 last night. Cast. Shed Seven. Travis. Stereophonics. Manics. All watched by a throng of beered-up lads. And hey, Oasis have finished recording their next album. Fantastic. Diversify or die, I don't think. Praise the lord for James Brown to show how to put on a *show* with spectacle (and no spectacles, which is good for a man of his advanced years) 'Normality' still reigns supreme. Boys still get beaten for wearing make-up. The homogenisation of culture continues apace. On a lighter note this was on the BBC's news website yesterday. _________________________________________________________ Hollywood legend Mickey Rooney is calling for a ban on the production of "crush videos" - films for people that get sexually aroused by watching scantily-clad women smashing rats and other small animals. "Put a stop, won't you, to crush videos," said the 78-year-old entertainer and animal rights activist at a news conference in California. "What are we going to hand our children? This is what we're going to hand down, these videos, crush videos? God forbid." He was speaking in front of a poster-sized photograph taken from a video that showed a woman's foot in platform shoes or stiletto heels, apparently crushing a rat or other rodents. _________________________________________________________ Makes the whole talk of a list-crush a bit pale in comparision. One last thing - last night I saw 'Out of Sight' and heard 'props' used in it's kudos context for the first time. bye for now andrew +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Dublin meetup
by Gary Lawler 26 Aug '99

There's a Dublin meet-up thingie that's been proposed on the message board at the Jeepster site, and seeing as it hasn't been mentioned here yet, I though I'd let you know that it's supposed to be on September 18th at noon in the St Stephens Green at the big fountain in the middle.

Sinister: Ignore if you're not Ailsa/ Don't ignore if you're Ailsa

no really, there's nothing interesting in here if you're not Ailsa. You're only wasting your time. And sorry for abusing the list like that.. I'll make up for it by sending a nice post soon (well, as nice as I can :) hi ailsa I have mailed you 3 or 4 times over the last 2 weeks; i assumed you did not get those or i didn't get your replies... the thing is: i've managed to find 2 (possibly 3) chaletmates for ATP through the message board on nme.com (thanks for the tip BTW!) i just wanted to know if you have still a chance of convincing any of your friends or whoever to come, in which case i'd keep a place open. the other thing is: have you made a money order f me yet? if not, the new people could just pay their places to me, which would be much easier i guess. in case you didn't get my mails on your uni account, could you give me your chickmail address so we can stay in touch without driving the list mad? i can be reached under jimgrund(a)club-internet.fr, hans.imgrund(a)t-online.de and img073g(a)univ-paris1.fr.

by katrina house 26 Aug '99

Nice'n'Sleazy's are running another bus from Glasgow to All Tommorrow's Parties. Tickets are forty pounds, and it leaves ridiculously early on the morning of the 17th, but the point is probably that you're supposed to go straight from a club, so it might be quite good fun. For details call Sleazy's on 0141 333 9637, and leave your details on the answering machine.
