Sinister: First post - shitting myself!

Hi All I'm really pleased today because I received my original copy of Tigermilk in the post - I bought it on Ebay. I'm dead excited as I decided to start collecting B&S stuff a few months ago and this is by far the best piece in my collection. Hooray!!!! Well, what a miserable day but I couldn't care less because I'm in one of those moods where I can't be arsed to do any work. This is my first message to the list even though I have been on it for some time. I really love reading all your posts! I work in the music industry and have been in to all sorts of music for ages but have never been so into a band as much as Belle and Sebastian. Every now and then I'll make people in the office listen to them. Everyone here claims to hate them (which is good because I get all the B&S freebies when they come in the post). In this office they have been nicknamed Bell-end and Semen or Bob and Sharon! But I know they love them really. There's not much else to say - I live in London and will be going to that new indie night Strange Fruit on Saturday, it sounds wicked - thanks for the flyer, whoever sent it. My favourite album is IYFS. And I really love the new album. It gets better and better each time I listen to it. The Model is a beautiful song. Wicked lyrics and vocals!!! Thanks for reading!!

Sinister: A SeNsE oF BeLonGinG...
by velocity farewell 02 Nov '00

02 Nov '00

Hello the land of sinistah... As usual starting a post without having the slightest idea what to WriTe... It's been quite a HeCtiC TiMe... I've got a new amplifier now for my stereo since my old one has ExPLoDeD from the inside without me realising it... and a new VcR... oh yes, and no money! There's a weird bloke outside my office door; he has fluffy ginger hair and wears big glasses... his jaw seems to be a bit outside making him look like an aged PoPeYe... mmmm... The other day I was having my afternoon nap when I woke up by my doorbell... I opened the door and saw this little boy, he must be around 8 years old, standing in front of me saying that we had got a fire in the building... and he was right... it smelled like something was burning and there was a lot of SmOkE and everything... I told him that someone had obviously burnt their food... he seemed really scared as he was all alone in their flat... so, I calmed him down a bit and we went checking in every floor of our building and also the basement... we found nothing so he went back to his appartment and I went back to my bed... shortly after that, the door bell woke me up again... the little boy was standing at my doorstep... "I called the fire department", he said... "did you?" I asked... "cool"... so we went downstairs waiting for the FiRe EnGiNe to arrive... so it did... 'twas a nice shiny ReD FiRe EnGiNe with all its lights and sirens on... the FiReMeN came in with torches and helmets and everything and they started looking around.. it seems that a woman on the third floor fell asleep and burnt whatever she was cooking... she also seemed quite pissed off... we left... the boy and I were poking each other and giggling behind the firemen's back... That was last week... Some days ago, the same boy came knocking on my door... he wanted me to help him with his english homework... I did... then, the next day he came back with some more homework... and when we were done with his homework, he saw my paintings on the walls and wanted me to paint something for him for his art class... I said that wouldn't be nice... he left... Yesterday, someone knocked on my door again... I went to answer that totally pissed off as they had woken me up again... and I saw a BoUqUeT of WiLd FLoWeRs tied up together with some plastic tape lying down on my doorstep... I looked around... noone... I picked up the flowers... and then I heard someone giggling... I saw the little boy hiding at the top of the stairs... I thanked him... that was really the sweetest thing anyone had done for me in ages... besides Laura Llew's grandmother's crocheted bookmark! It was just unbelievably sweet... little John and his bouquet of wild flowers made my day, no, my week actually... Thome-KidA-Yorke seems to indulge new ways of marketing... in the band's website there are stuff written by him for NadeR... what does Yorke has to do with american politics I wonder... I just guess he came up with this to promote radiohead's new album... I never liked Radiohead... they're too... predictable... too catchy in an indie way, if you know what I mean... Joan of Dark seems to adopte nice writting styles... too bad it's all done in the past... the past that she condemns to utter destruction... talking about revolution and stuff... I'm sick and tired of listening to people talking about revolution, sucking it like some sort of comforting CaRaMeL, not really knowing what they're talking about... Dear Joan of Dark - quite a nice goth name by the way - didn't you know that the first step to submission is deprive people of their past? and let them sink into oblivion? mmmm... JenOwL wrote that if we could eat Stuart Murdoch he'd taste like BuTTeRsCotCh!! yum! I do love BuTTeRsCotCh! I think that if we could smell Stuart, he'd smell like AutUmN LeAVeS after the RaiN... he's an autumn guy definetely... Laura LLew where are you? I miss you so much and there's no catch just come to the lighthouse to kill the kitchen mouse it's been running around its colour's shitty brown and I'm so afraid I can't be brave when you're not with me the mouse's running free!! Sorry, I know that was silly... but I hope it brought another smile on Laura's lips... you see Joan of Dark, bringing a smile on Laura's lips is a really revolutionary act!! and I'm not messing... hugs, VG xxx "15 minutes Mr Warhol, 15 minutes" ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Great Spangled Froddtillary
by Peter Miller 02 Nov '00

02 Nov '00

Sorry to hear about Nick Drake being dead. Let's hope he gets well soon. A couple of cider armadilloes and he'll be right as rain. Some time ago someone recommended the "Golden Age of American Rock'n'Roll" series. I bought volume 8 the other day and I think it's a bit girlish. I'm going to take it back and change it for "Big Soul Bastards" or something. Although it does have a track by The Pastels on it, which is considerably better than their 80s output. I suppose it might grow on me, but I'm not going to give it a chance. We went over 24 hours without a post, surely a record? I blame weblogs. Me and Jordi went to see "Dancer in the Dark" at the weekend, admittedly on different days, at different times, and probably at different cinemas, but that's not the point. I bet Jordi cried more than me. People cried so much I had to cling to a giant popcorn that floated by, otherwise I would have drownded in the sea of love. Is it Gentle Waves release day? That should keep the list busy for an hour or two. Or at least it would have done in the past. Wait a minute, it's Thursday, not Monday. Have a great time in New York, Steve. Don't forget to go and see that picture of The Foxgloves in action. Obviously you'll have to clamber over the swooning lumberjacks to get to it. If you hear someone shout "TIMBER!!!" get out of the way sharpish, or one might fall on you and you'll have to spend the rest of your holiday underneath a lumberjack. I see Stan from The Housemartins has started working with Basil Brush. And somehow that really impressed me.

Sinister: secret plan, shhhhhhhhh
by Stephen Hewitt 02 Nov '00

02 Nov '00

OK, don't tell anyone, but i've got a secret plan for the auction, to bid for all the members of the band and then get them together at the same time and magically produce some instruments and get them to DO A GIG FOR ME!!! GRATE idea, eh? Unfortunately no one has bid(ded) (bud?) for me yet, despite the promise of food, dancing and BOUZE, FOR NOTHING, and my company for an evening. What more could a young person ask for? Although I'd be a bit scared if Jen won me, I don't think i could stand the pace at the sort of parties she goes to... My local friendly independant record shop is very naughty, they had the Genital Waves single for sale on Saturday, despite the fact that it was not out til monday. I'm getting very excited about GOING TO NUDE YORK, i have bought $$$ and everything. Me and MrsCarsmile are going to be very touristy. Mrs Carsmile bought a book called "born to shop new york" which is very scary, as it is written by a mad old woman who is always going on about discount stores and not paying full price for anything and how <cough> "funky" SoHo is and stuff. She also goes on about NikeTown, but all i want to do there is piss on it. BOO, nasty niketown. I saw the WORST BAND EVER the other nite. They are called Queen Adreena, avoid them children, they smell, badly. Did someone mention weblogs? xoxo CarsmileSteve PS I know what Lixi's middle name is, teehee +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Various Shit
by rclander＠netfront.net 02 Nov '00

02 Nov '00

Excuse the title line but its a quote from Neil Robertson as you can see the news item from the new NME which I have copied below. Richard Stuart Murdoch has directed the video for the new V-Twin single 'Thank You Baby'. Filming work was completed yesterday (Thursday) on the video which was widely rumoured to be 'bawdy' and to feature 'girls'. When quizzed on what the video was about V-Twin's manager, Neil Robertson said: "I can't tell you - because I don't know. And I'm in it. It's just various shit. We don't want to make too much of Stuart doing it. It's just that he's the only person we know who'll do it for nothing." "It does feature girls. But the bawdiness is all off camera," he revealed. 'Thank You Baby' is released on August 3rd on vinyl and CD. --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using Endymion MailMan. http://www.endymion.com/products/mailman/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: All kinds of everything
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 01 Nov '00

01 Nov '00

Hewwo, Ooh, lots of things have been happening to me. I got punched in the face by a hard kid, because I tried to answer her back. I went to a wild and mental party, and drank lots of rum. I stayed up nearly all night (except for the part where I passed out and when I woke up it was dark and I had to use a light up vibrator thingy as a torch). I made everyone look at the friend bear website by using my feminine wiles to take over the computer and delete all the porn. I also went out in the rain, and there was a lot of alcohol. And I got a three-day hangover which was not pleasant. And I played strip chess, but the cunning plan was that I beat everyone and they all got naked and I didn't, because I decided to make up the rules which meant that everyone took their clothes off except me because I was too embarassed and all the boys wore nightdresses. Which was grate fun. In a sort of sick way. There was a boy called Ross there, and he went paralytic and his mum marched round to the house for him and he tried to come on to her, because he ws so drunk. On Hallow'een, I dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood (cause I have my cape hee hee), and it was fun, though I had to hide from some hard kids who wanted to beat me up for dressing up (because they didn't understand that it was Hallow'een). Also in special honour of Hallow'een I brought a wand to school, but someone masturbated with it in computing class (and the teacher looked like he was going to join in) so now I'm not so sure about wands and school. I put myself up for auction in the B&S thing, but I don't think anyone's bidded (is that a word) for me yet... I'm also making my very own website on angelfire. But until then the temporary thingy is at www.expages.com/mmmhowqueer. It's very pants and has only one page, but it's because everyone's been nagging at me to get something put up while i'm making the thing. I'm utterly useless with computers, so it's really moke-ish. I think Stuart Murdoch would taste like butterscotch if you ate him. And Isobel Campbell would taste of vanilla. And Chris Geddes would taste of dark chocolate. And Mick Cooke would taste of strawberry jam. And Sarah Martin would taste of ready salted crisps. And Stevie Jackson would taste of eggs. And Richard Colburn would taste of those little jelly lips you used to get that tasted a bit like shampoo. I will go now, Hugs, Jen +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: buses, b&s, and my gender identity crisis
by Kimberly Rehak 01 Nov '00

01 Nov '00

boo, i'm trying to decide if i'm having a good or a bad morning so far. maybe someone can help me out: 1 mum drives me to the busstop since i'm late (as usual) and informs me that i must be having a gender identity crisis because i didn't dry my hair this morning (no time, again) and i had my hands in my pocket "like a boy". i could go on and on about the things she said but i'll just leave it at that-the g-g-g-gist. 1.5 cried for 15 minutes at busstop/busride. 2 beautiful boy on the bus keeps staring at me whilst we are in transit. 3 freaky man with the hearing aids who looks like a child molester sits beside me and also keeps looking at me. 3.5 am listening to b&s for the first time in a Really long time. 4 now i'm at work and i just spilled coffee all over me. <sigh> i don't know what to do. hello to everyone new and old and to those who cry on buses (like me) and to those in germany (like me soon) and to those who dry their hairs in the morning (who are so much better than me-ha!) and to those going to beantown today. xo, kimmy +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
