Sinister: Screaming Edam
by Pamela Tait 09 May '00

09 May '00

Hello troops Ever wonder where phrases come from? Yeah, well, people like me make them up on the way to the pub. How d'you all like this un? You know how you get these sad gits who lack confidence and try to make it up by wearing really loud shirts, usually hawaiian ones? You know the type, they're really cheesy and top Man are doing loads of them nowadays. Well.......whenever I see a bloke with one I've taken to calling him a Screaming Edam. Cause he's so loud and cheesy. My mate snogged a screaming edam the other night, the silly thing! Don't forget who started this saying. It was me. the Toffeecrisp. Goodbye and thankyou for listening.

Sinister: 12 days left (till the release of Legal Man)
by Alexander Bartilson 09 May '00

09 May '00

Hi, yesterday on the Swedish Public Service radio I heard a track from the new album. It was "Don't leave the light on baby" and it was really great. The radiohost said that she had met Stevie Jackson last Thursday, which is the day after the B&S Q&A, and that he had a terrible hangover, his face was all red. Before the Q&A he was so nervous that he had drunk a lot of gin & tonic. The radiohost also said that B&S probably will play in Sweden, but that it wasn't clear when. There will also be an interview with B&S (probalbly only Stevie) on the radio, soon. Today I also heard Legal Man. It was great too. ///Alexander PS. I will soon give you a comment on the Jeepster special on Swedish radio some weeks ago DS. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: List Virginity a sacred thing
by stuart geddes 09 May '00

09 May '00

Ok so I was given my voice on the 7/2/00 and I'vee sat all these months just reading. For some reason when I woke up this morning and put on Elliot Smith as I was washing I felt that today was the day to post a message. i didn't know what I was going to write about, so I thought that I'd just start speaking and see what I said. I have read a lot of criticism of the new Belle and Sebastian seingle, but I think that its tops. Really I don't think they can put a foot wrong. I remember buying the boy with the arab strap, totally just out of curiosity. I had seen it advertised in NME and I'd seen the curious green cover in Virgin in Argyle STreet for many months, and then one day I bought that and Desserters Songs. I don't listen to Mercury Rev, but little did I know then that Belle and Sebastian were gonna take over my summer. Last Summer was a total arse for me. I had messed about during my second year @ uni, and I was now faced with three resits that was going to spoil my summer, I also dumped my girlfriend of four years, and was faced with everyone telling me what she was up to. The night before t in the park I watched the Belle and Sebastian programme on BBC two, and that changed my life, it was just really smart. And after that I recorded all of the albums onto minidisc so that I couild listen in the car. I do a lot of drivnf and the albums are ingrained onto my brain now, In particular but, Tigermilk and If you're feeling sinister. There are definitely my favourites and songs Like I don't love anyone and Stars of Track and Field remind me of what a great summer it turned out to be. This year things are a lot better. I've found a great girlfriend, and uni is back on track I sat my first exam yesterday , and I've got two more on thursday and friday. And so I am finishing my inaugral rant, as the Elliot Smith album is just finishing. I must add that Elliot Smith reminds me a bit of Sean Lennon. Sorry. Anyhoo I hope I didn't bore you too much The StarbrightBoy This message has been brought to you by the STARLESS WONDER +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: No-one called Pablo Picasso an Asshole
by Williams Adam (Mr A) 09 May '00

09 May '00

Hiya. Just a tale on the magical healing qualities of B&S, plus the ever-pleasant taste and a kick like a bottle of Benolin. But the risks, oh the risks... I was out with me ol' mucker John Stuart Mill the other day who was well narked at having his holiday snaps snipped out of the final cut of 'When Celebrities Strip' a couple of weeks ago, and was trying to provide him with the greatest amount of pleasure in the smallest amount of time. (Plus, although he still denies it, I'm sure he's still upset that Immanual Kant ran off with Gloria Steiner on him.) "I mean Gail bloody Porter," he was moaning, "Yeah she gets her arse on the Houses of Parliament, but how many people inside has she influenced with HER work, eh? Apart from Robin Cook, obviously." We sipped a few absinthes in a pub on the Stockwell Road and headed off to a little indie club called the Hershey bar. A girl, obviously not a listee due to her lack of fear of other-gendered people, started tagging along. She was dull in a suicidal-junkie kinda way and kept banging on for advice about the whole to-be-or-not-to-be biz. I recommended bleach and cheese wire. "I know," she said, "Why don't i just go prozzie myself out and spend all the money on drugs to shove up my arse?" JS congratulated her on her utilisation of available resources and we left her scuttling along the kerbside. The club was packed. The DJ wore a paint-spattered overcoat and had a bit of grass on his head. "Who are you meant to be this week then?" I asked. "Winston Churchill," he replied, cueing up Kajagoogoo. "Well hows about a bit of B&S, Winnie?" "Sure, which one" "Slow graffiti." "That's the one that sounds like the Laughing Gnome?" "ummmmmmmm..." JS was looking dour ("I mean, Sharon crapping Stone. What did SHE ever write?") next to some dark haired girl. He often looks dour though, it's just a side effect of being dead. The girl had the gall to try talking to me without having the courtesy to be witty or interesting. "Look you," I said, "This is a conversation, not a website. Give me one reason why i shouldn't grab you by the shoulders and shake you like an English nanny." "It's not my fault," she simpered "i'm only a figment of the imagination of some bored temp on a long lunchbreak. Anyway, i'm also quite cute and have the air of a young Audrey Hepburn." I bought all her drinks for the rest of the night. Then Slow Graffiti started. "Oh, I love this," said JS, cheering up almost instantly. "It's easily my favourite Bowie track." "It's Belle & Sebastian, you gibbon." "I knew that." Most of the others in the crowd didn't, but like JS they seemed converted. I pushed my hand and asked Winnnie for more. String Bean Jean, TBWTAS, Photo Jenny and Dog on Wheels all followed suit interspersed with early 80s stuff by MOnkeyWhore, The Edams and Arsecandle. JS got into the swing and put aside his usual Blue Oyster Cult requests to ask for the whole of Tigermilk. Winnie obliged and the crowd went as wild as Bowlie-haired ineffectual youths get. (Not very, but they were happy) Then things went wrong... Winnie ran out of B&S and started playing Bis. JS tried saving the evening with a swift request for Debonair, but this only incensed the kids further. Robbed of their fix they got violent and blamed me and JS. I slipped out the back as they hanged him from a mirrorball and set fire to his teeth. I guess there's a moral here somewhere, but i'm buggered if i know what. Something about 'don't spoil yourselves', maybe. Answers on a postcard for a lollipop. be slinky. a. P.S.. 'Twee' IS a pejorative. I am not in any sense twee. But if anyone ever claims i'm not a sweet and sensitive sunbeam of loveliness, I'll glass the fucker. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Banal, but wit da B&S content ting.
by Harry Hunt 09 May '00

09 May '00

How come NO-ONE when questioned lists You're just a baby, as their favourite B&S track? It's a delight. I don't rate the new Looper anywhere near the eponymous, and hats firmly ON to the David rabble for marking the spine "Looper", giving no indication to the album's name. I know what you're thinking, that's silly. Actually, you're more likely to be thinking "I'm glad I deleted that mail from Harry before it bored my twee TITS off" But I digress. York folk. I will be organising festivities for Saturday, which happens to be my 21st. All welcome, if you're going to be free and easy in York on that day, get in touch. Aren't I the reptilic list abuser?

Sinister: WARNING: GLASGOW PICNICS DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH
by Pamela Tait 09 May '00

09 May '00

My second post. Yeah, so anyway..... Went to the Glasgow meet up on Saturday. That is, me and my two mates Lisa and Angie. T'was a beautiful day. I was enjoying my fourth day of legal drinking and, funnily enough, the fourth day of my drinking binge. Met the kids in George Square (a BIG hello to all present: Jason, Chris, Jen, Owen, Gail, Ally, Calumn, The Count Snorlax, Morrissey, Neil'n'Ailsa and the rest). Had lunch at the bandstand in Kelvingrove Park. Then we went to the pub. Oh dear. The Tap, a nice place at the far end of Suck-It-All Street and strictly speaking, I should have just had 'The One' and gone home. But I gave in and gulped down down my cider and blackcurrant and played pool (badly), apologising after every bad shot. Somehow and Alex blur lookey-likey ordered five pizzas and a garlic bread to our table. Which was nice. Went back to Calumn's Castle in the West End and had no sleep, some beer and sent my first sinister post. Supported Morrisseys legs as he fell asleep across three of our laps. Had a slagging match with my mate and ended up smoking Camel (-shit) fags and slowly lost the sight in one eye. Lisa had to go. I hadn't called home. Wrote Calumn a note and had to leave without saying goodbye or thanks (which I feel goddamn awful about now. Calumn: cheers for stuff. It was well groovey). Discovered we didn't really have a clue where we were. Found Hillhead Underground (which was closed...) and somehow, I got home in one piece. That was on Sunday. I slept for the whole day. Woke up feeling really ill and now I can't sing (perhaps due to the Camel fags or the aftermath of Saturday nights 'aftershock and vomit' incident) and now my whole body aches. Don't get me wrong - I had a bloody good day, but the timing was all wrong. I was reminded today that besides drink, I can also vote so I'm gonna go on a voting binge. Starting off with Clause 28, then moving onto the harder stuff like London Mayoral Elections (if I actually *lived* in London, that is. And if I gived a shit...) I was advised to get a tattoo now that I'm 18 and I have a few designs in mind. The Isobel-Kebab one could be nice, or perhaps a map of Venezuela in pink with a blue border. All suggestions are welcome.... Next meet-up is on May 20th. Can't wait. Song I've been listening to a lot: 'Refractions In The Plastic Pulse' by Stereolab. Go eat a pickle. Remember my name, for it is Toffeecrisp (aged 18 and still on my drinking binge) Pamela xxx ...................................................... I AM OBSESSED WITH BOTTLE GREEN MINI COOPERS.

Sinister: Woddy Guthrie/Wilco/Billy Bragg
by Walkn10＠aol.com 09 May '00

09 May '00

I don't mean to post twice in the same day, but I know there's a good-sized Wilco following on this list so I figured I'd pass along some great news: On May 30th, Mermaid Avenue 2 is being released, which contains 15 or so songs many of which were newly recorded. Jeff Tweedy says is a more challenging and less folksy album, which should be really interesting. I heard a clip of a Billy Bragg tune called "You Facists' Bound To Lose" and it sounded really rocking and awesome! You can check out www.wilcoweb.com for some more info (and sound clips). To make good news even better, Bragg and Wilco plan to celebrate the release by staging a joint-tour this summer where they'll play songs entirely off both Mermaid Avenue LPs. I've never seen Billy, but Wilco rocks like a magikist. Rock over London, Rock over Chicago...Heinz, its America's favorite ketchup Steve C. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* "Which Paul?"
