Sinister: Pray For A Flood?
by David Moore 07 Nov '00

07 Nov '00

Hi Squirrels, Its a Gentle Waves* release day, so I'll surprise Peter by mentioning them, even though I haven't had time to listen to the album yet. Its longer than the last one & I actually like Falling From Grace already, which wouldn't sound out of place on FYHC,YWLAP. Perhaps its the harpsichord, but probably its the bass-playing & string arrangement that does it :) Nice to see that everyone has been very Genteel recently by stopping short of repeating Don Pedro's Genital Warts tag. Bum! Except for me it would seem. Jeepster Records International still put cards in their products saying of their web-site/news mailing list: "We send out news messages the moment we have them, and it remains the fastest way to hear the news." Hmmm. Is that statement still true? Surely you can hear what's going on much more quickly via the band's own site, nme.com, or more ironic still, Marketing Week. UK-centric bit, sorry. Very Merry Penguin Martin Robinson tells me Sodastream are playing an additional date at the Betsey Trotwood on the 18th of November (after the Borders in-store) so be there or be square. I've been re-listening to their oeuvre this week and its a treasure, sounding even better after a little break. There should be more than this, but I'm going to read the Select article (page 68, magazine rack browsers) again first. Love, Minun nimeni on David, ja asun Essexissä (* solo project of Isobel Campbell, member of Belle and Sebastian#) (# check the archives) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Smurf Sandwiches
by Phillip Runion 07 Nov '00

07 Nov '00

for some odd reason i had a dream last night with Joan of Dark, Velocity Farewell, and Mr. Brier Random in it. I knew that it was them because my synapsis (or what have you) told me so, plus i've seen brier's picture. Apparently you were all buying perfume. V was taller than J and B looked out into the audience quizically, which had to have been me. After that i walked into my grade school and ran into my highschool buddies. Bra'man ate sammiches too; wish sammiches. . . .mmmmm. phil r _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: vajpayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

someone mentioned elliot smith, i am going to see him tonight but i really do not want to. i saw him a few years back when he was opening for the tindersticks and gosh he was dreamy, all deer in the headlights and quiveringly charming as he strummed his lonely songs all by his lonesome but ack i saw him last year or earlier this year or something like that and it was rawking as he was with quasi kinney and it was dreadful except for the encore when he played by himself as he had back when he opened for the tindersticks and he was lovely. i already have my shampoo care package for him though. red bulls are big bags of rock salt crammed into a little can right? maybe they might be useful if you were stuck in a snowdrift on the side of the road but i can't imagine any other time i would want one. someone else said their students make more sense than the teachers, this might be the case but i think this thinking is a bad trend. i spent last weekend or the one before watching a 'youth summit' and listened to the kids whine(quite incoherently in obtuse slang) about how no one takes them seriously and i thought to myself thank god no one takes these kids seriously oh but then the grown-up moderator said something like 'amen, parents start listening to your kids' or something stupid like that. i am always distressed at movies or television programs where the kids have traded roles with adults and act like the wise ones. kids are dumb, always have been always will be why is this so hard to understand? well excpet for doogie howser and that was only cause he had a huge forehead to pack in his big brain. the puddle had a hit song with a tune that was a rip-off of the doogie howser theme track. i ordered the robert scott solo lp, how exciting, he has written thousands of songs apparently but now he has no band to release them with now so he is solo bob scott now and this record is mostly instrumental like scenes from the south island instrumental which might be a bit of an overstatement. however, apparently the clean may record another album soon. how thrilling. still waiting for cloudboy but aren't we all. thom yorke is voting for nader, nader for dictator! keith m __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

SV: Sinister: french tv going p!o!p!
by Katarina Karlsson 06 Nov '00

06 Nov '00

Hello, Only an "important B&S fact" from Sweden in this mail. > I recently noticed more and more documentaries on the telly with cool > soundtracks. > The other day it was the very long intro of "Gene Clarke" by Teenage > Fanclub, and last night it was a Vic Chesnutt song... on a documentary > about death penalty in the US... > I never heard B&S as tv soundtrack yet, but who knows? There were a really good documentary "Inte utan min badbomb" here last year. It was about peoples barthrooms and theire relations to them and when they showed a really untidy bathroom and interviued the owner they did it to the sweet tunes of Dirty Dream #2. The B&S moment were an extra happy surprise in the end of this fasinating documentary. 20 or maybe 30 thrilling minutes! Thank you Swedish tv for supporting this kind of programs!! There is a documentary for all kinds of music and I think that B&S were perfect for the untidy bathroom genre. It's late for me now and, I don't know why but sudenly I have to listen to Put The Book Back On the Shelf.

Sinister: always looking for the sun
by Jonathan Lewis 06 Nov '00

hullo out of the sinister nursery at last. Thanks for all your posts. I've liked them. Especially to idleberry, whose website led me here. I'm in London, and training to be a teacher. It's good. The kids talk more sense than the teachers most of the time. I have some favourite B&S songs, and they are 'La Pastie...', 'Slow Graffiti', 'Sleep the Clock Around', 'I Could be Dreaming', and all the others. I saw the band at the Union Chapel ages and ages ago. Saw GYBE there too, and Sigur Ros, and Dirty Three, and wish I could live in that drafty wooden O of a venue. Expect the occasional contribution from me to this list. I don't have much to say, and may be too busy marking. jonny lewis +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Unleash the Sasquatch
by Lorraine Hosie 06 Nov '00

06 Nov '00

***Don't make me unleash the sasquatch I know you don't really wanna unleash the sasquatch*** Ooooo... isn't it wintery - the sasquatch is rousing from his icy blankie and getting ready to terrorise my tootsies. (Insert shiver here). (If you're in Australia or some other summer-come-winter land you won't be feeling the cold, and are prolly singing "Unleash the Suncream" to the tune of Craig David but, please, just try to imagine life below zero for a moment.) Top 5 things about cold weather are: 1. Knee high socks (legwarmers for the new millennium) 2. Rosy Cheeks (make my whey-face visibly more appealing) 3. Tweed (need I say more?) 4. Staying in (see above) 5. Good telly (see: movies and new ITV draahma section) The eternal optimist, my glass is always half full (of toddy), even when my blood vessels are half empty (bad circulation - hereditary). I'd love to talk some more (about the weather), but my fingertips are turning white. B&S content: In my knee-high socks, I too can be a Fox in the Snow. S'like that, it is. Luv Loz p.s. To those who know me, I have not gone fishin' or decided to ignore you - I am very bizzy getting a-head in advertising. p.p.s. Does anybody anywhere happen know someone called Will Stevenson who used to go to Uni in Sheffield - would be about 25/26 by now? If so, please contact me.

Sinister: Heaven is coming down to hold me...
by elenita99 06 Nov '00

Hello friends, *auction* I've finally decided the talent I want to bid on for the auction (as I can't afford Struan chauffeur services for my birthday, which is a shame really). So I placed a bid, with moral and financial support from Velocity(so we can share the talent and raise more money, of course). And we have instantly been outbid by someone who placed a Maximum Price on that convoited talent. Mr Biondino, be careful, I might know who you are :) And I might even win the lottery or get "Granny's birthday money" soon and fight back on that auction. *family tree* My whole family has been here for 4 days this week, this meaning 2 parents and 2 brothers. My God, I just ended so exhausted. They finally went and I went back to bed straight after they were gone and slept until the afternoon. Being a tourist guide is such a hard job.It was nice anyway, I have been fed like a duck during 4 days, and took them to all the nice restaurants I've been sing fo a month and unable to afford. Eh eh eh. We also went to the zoo and it was ace, it was the biggest one I've ever seen and we spent hours in it running around to see the animals. In case you are interested, highlights were the scary crocodiles, the talking parrots ("hola, hola" it was not a catalan one ;), the huuuuge albinos gorilla and the massive bears. I wanted to feed them with my little bro but my mum wouldnt let me. Well apart from the zoo we also visited more cultural stuff, but the zoo was the best, really. *bailando en la oscuridad* As Peter and Jordi left me on my own to go and see "Dancer in the dark", I went on my own yesterday. Good move to go on my own (and without make-up), I was just looking like nothing presentable going out of the cinema. I hope I didn't upset my cinema neighbours too much, I have been crying sort of all the way long. I think I hadn't cried that much since "Breaking the waves" (well and also when I thought E.T was dead, but I was 8). The film is beautiful, really. And I am very very impressed with Bjork performance as an actress. After 3 minutes she just was Selma so much, and I stopped seeing her as Bjork. As for Catherine Deneuve, "grande dame" of French cinema, as they say, well I hope none of you laughed at her dreadful accent :) *flatmates* It appears that, added to the fact they are so unhappy, my flatmates (flatmates being here used as a common term, they are not my mates, right?) seem to think that paying the bills is not a mandatory thing nowadays. So we had last week a letter saying that we will be without water on the 14th, due to unpaid bills since August. I personally think that nowadays living without water is a bit unconvenient. So I will probably move out sometime this week, as I have no intention of paying unpaid bills to keep living with gloomy flatmates. One month, new personal record of shorter stay in a flat. OK I am off now, next matter of the day being "how to explain to a lazy Catalan that in a "group work" all the people are indeed supposed to work". Wish me luck.

Sinister: subject? I don't need to stinkin' subject
by cbrown2＠mmm.com 06 Nov '00

06 Nov '00

afternoon dearies I'm in a mess (but not in a dress) (cherish that, it could be the only b&s content :) I've decided that I may have to retire from drinking, this has been hastened by the drinkathon that I managed to partake in at Strange Fruit on Saturday night. After bringing some cynical chums along who don't normally go to that sort of thing, I ended up having one of those grate drunken evenings where all is fantastic and smile on my face won't go away. Funniest moment was seeing my mate cynical Mike dancing away to La Pastie (he really doesn't like B&S) and when being asked why, it was apparently "to impress a girl", not the way he was dancing it wasn't :))))))) Unfortunately though this high has been karmically balanced by the way I feel now, kidneys aching, and arms and legs feeling like lead. Bloody great night though, good music, not too bad bands (I preferred Tompaulin at Scalarama when they were a bit ... erm.... bigger and didn't go ssssssshhhhhhhhhh quite so much! I am not a naughty schoolboy, even if I do feel like one occasionally :-) Lots of you were there and you know who you are, suffice to say a good show was made by the sinister congregation and some of us actually managed to be still dancing when the lights went up. I'll be going to the next one. One a different theme is anyone else going to see those lovely Teenage fanclub boys on Wednesday, I'll be the tall drunk one down the front....D'oh! rockers and rollers, I salute you Chrisx PS Mr Robinson, how can you put on one of my biggest favourites of the moment at one of the finest establishments in the capital on the day I'm supposed to be travelling oop North?? Boo!
