Sinister: SmAsH-iNg TiMe!!
by velocity farewell 21 Sep '00

21 Sep '00

Hello beautiful ones... Well... it's Sunday... I remember my first post to the list under a different name... 'twas called: EvErYdAy'S LiKe SuNdAy Why do I hate Sundays so much? I do hate them ever since I was a child... but that's not what I want to talk to you about... I had a terrible aCciDeNt last night... I fell with my scooter... 'twas horrible! See, I was out with the guys last night; first we went to this place where they serve this grate HoMe-mAde WiNe and then we went to that place called CohiBa where our friend Nick was DJing... mmmmm... we were dancing and did all crazy stuff... Nick played a lot of lounge and easy listening and some bossa nova as well... there was that girl there with the most amazing hair ever... she looked like... mmm.... Kim - bluddy - Karnes Eventually we left and I was riding my scooter alone in the streets of the city.... I had my walkman on and was listening to one of the most lovely, desperate songs ever "HoMeBoY" by Adorable... suddenly I saw a cab in front of me... I pressed the breaks... back break doesn't work - I wanted to have it fixed for so long but it costs so much - I pushed the front break... and I started slipping... slipping.... and fell... my scooter crashed on the back side of the cab where as I was on the street... it was a grate fall mind you! very stylistic... not to mention that I was wearing my white fairy jacket... fortunately I had my helmet on, so no head injuries... I hurt my knee quite badly tho'... and now I have a swollen blueish knee to the size of a tennis ball... I hurt my hands as well... I stood up and saw in a blur the cabbie with his two passengers getting out of the cab... they lifted up my poor sputnik (my scooter) and tried to persuade me to go to the hospital, but I refused to go... I mean, I don't know, can't really tell, but it must have been quite a scary fall as these 3 people looked so pale and frightened... after I re-assured then I was fine and I was in a position to get back on my scooter and ride back home, they asked me where I was from and what I was doing here... so, I told them that I worked in the uni... the highlight of that amazing evening... the one of the guys in the cab made a pass on me... YeS! Now can you believe that? I was all shaken, trembling cause of the shock, my knee was killing me, and he was just standing there asking me if there was a café in the uni and if it was any good... I said "yeah, there's one and it's really good... for the students.." and left... bastard! I got back on my scooter, put my walkman on and started half-singing half-crying as I was riding back home... what? "LoVe is BettEr tHaN WaR" by the TELeViSiOn PeRsOnALiTiEs As soon as I got back home I put on the CD by FeLt "poem of the river"+"forever breathes the lonely word" that Richard made for me... I guess he justifies his role as the SiNiStEr SanTa ClAuSs so well.... BeLLe & SeBaStiAn contexxxxxxx well, Mike and StuartM. were in jeepster chat last night... yes!! I got there late myself, so I didn't get to hear anything interesting... except from the fact that Stuart was watching Telly at the moment... that's it... the weather's great here but I wish it was raining... oh, that was so boring... sorry about that.. I have to go now and watch "Dawson's Creek"... somethings are so dumb they're charming... Spooka-Dee-Loops my dog gave me a lick on my hip bone last night when I came back after the accident as I was putting my jeans down to check the bruises... that was quite comforting... Oh!!! another thing... Lovely Hannah, not our own Hannahdoll, has started a Baxendale list... mmm, I don't know about the rest of you but I do love Baxendale... the addy for those who wanna join is: http://www.onelist.com/community/superpopelectronix Yeah! bye bye sweat peas take care love that flies over the oceans +easterchocobunnies+melodyPoPs!

Sinister: Selling Out?
by ELZober＠aol.com 30 Apr '00

30 Apr '00

hello all.... i don't post much - but i thought i'd drop my worthless two pence into the fraggle about whether or not B&S are selling out...... i suppose that i'm a little clueless as to how this notion came about - what is it they are doing different this time? here's a thought - have a little faith - when the merchandise was leaving jeepster everyone was up in arms about how *they* were going commercial and we'd have to pay too much for our beloved badges...... that is until it came out that they were moving the merchandise closer to home and giving it to the lovely Katrina to run - then.... all was very quiet on the Sinister front..... sometimes this list is just like a woman in menopause in that everything is the worst thing possible and the worst thing is only a prelude to tomorrow...... talk about melodrama folks.....<note - see the humor in this - laugh a little... before you send me tons of email about how i'm being insensitive to woman in general and those in menopause> lest we forget that this is the bands 4th album - plus there are all the EP's to consider - since day one the music community at large has championed their arrival - so is it any wonder that they are becoming increasingly more popular with the masses? and is this a bad thing? should we all stay as we were four years ago - with no personal or professional growth? is everyone on this list stagnated to one place? this much i know isn't true as there are several very successful people on this list.... my point is - let's ride this out...... if they get *huge* you can say affectionately, "i knew them when...." and ..... on the plus side - those "original" t-shirts and badges will be worth good money in twenty years time - then we can all appear on VH1 in a B&S "Before They Were Rock Stars" Special....... elle +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

And he slightly lost it afterwards, did he not? I doubt that will happen with b+s... but in a way think about it... if most people had the chance for fame and fortune they'd go out and grab it... anyway, most of the people being slightly dubious about all of this *incl. myself* are the same people who say the charts are shite... and they are shite. its not as if b+s have sold their souls away to sony or lovely arms dealer associated *so I've heard...* emi or anything... they just want a slice of the cake, they want people to hear them. And it is their cake. And it is tasty. hmmm nessa XXXXX ******************************************************************** ****************** get your free gURLmAIL at http://www.gURLmAIL.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: thank the lord for toast B&S classic album!
by Glen 30 Apr '00

30 Apr '00

Hey After popping down to my local Our Price I noticed they had a sale on. Then after a time I found they only had one B&S album, TBWTAS for £9.99, which I have so I didn't buy it. Instead I bought "The 3 E.P.s" by the Beta Band, which I thought would be a pretty good album. It is simply grate, I haven't stopped listening to it. So I urge you to go to Our Price and buy it for £6.99. That was a rather pethetic sell, wasn't it. Anyway the point of this is that the sale was on "Classic Albums" Therefore, the world has now confirmed what we all already knew, TBWTAS is a CLASSIC album! After reading this, I now realise that this post is the most pathetic, pointless one ever. And it's probably list abuse.

Sinister: Switch off the immersion heater before the house explodes!
by STOUT RJ 30 Apr '00

30 Apr '00

Hello Just a few thoughts on the issue of B+S becoming P!O!P!ular. "That old chestnut? I'm going home." No, hold on a second! I was just wondering if it really happens that often, that a really good band that's been in obscurity for years suddenly becomes popular. Most bands that have been around for a while before becoming famous haven't actually been that great before they became famous. Take Pulp, pre-Countdown, for instance. In theory, if the world suddenly "discovers" Belle and Sebastian, they'll also discover the older albums so they'll become enormous. But then, I don't think this ever happens, really, does it? Maybe you'll know. I don't know much about pop music meself.

Sinister: free Mojave 3 album if anyone wants it
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 30 Apr '00

30 Apr '00

hey kids, I have a copy of Mojave 3's "Out of Tune" album (featuring B&S's Mick Cooke on trumpet) if anyone would like it. (Actually, I have two, which is why I'm giving one away. I liked it so much that I splurged for the American version which has one extra track, hence my old copy is now without a home.) It's a marvelous record. The CD is a record company promo - it has a cover/back etc, and is in a jewel case, but doesn't have a full booklet like the one you buy - only a cover. Anyway, the first person who sends me a nice e-mail with their address can have it. (But please only mail me if you actually want it, not because you want to trade it in to your local sencond hand record store, or sell it on Ebay or anything.)

Sinister: if you're feeling sinister
by Kenneth P Y Chu 30 Apr '00

30 Apr '00

sorry for the third post inside a week, but I'm hideously drunk so I don't care hahahaha.. I'm really sorry, it's just that I just went to this party and this girl I really fancied started dancing and hugging with someone else, and then they disappeared and then all my friend's left me and I ended up walking two miles home on my own, so I'm not feeling that particularly jolly... if you have any conscience then please send me a sympathy letter so that at least I'll feel better tomorrow... I know sending utterly negative posts like this is a very bastardly behaviour, but if I didn't type this I'd probably have killed myself so I'll just be crying loads now, thanks/sorry bye.
