Sinister: b&s in a major motion picture
by Curtis Heath 05 Aug '00

05 Aug '00

Howdy Kids, Don't hate me for seeing Hollow Man. Personally, I could never tell if Paul Verhoeven was the genius that his early art-films seemed to make him out to be, or a sell-out making typical Hollywood trash (Robocop, Starship Troopers, Showgirls.) But after seeing Hollow Man, I realize he's a genius... Kevin Bacon's character is named Sebastian, and his pet gorilla is named Isobelle. Yes, she's his lab-animal... but still, she plays an important catalyst to the plot. No joke! They made Isobelle a gorilla. Not necessarily a monkey-butler, but a gorilla nonetheless. This could be no coincidence. I think Paul is trying to tell us something. He's been heavily criticized for being a misongynistic, homophobic pornographer... and I think he's trying to let a certain few of us know that all of his films are done a bit tongue-in-cheek. I mean, you can't necessarily be a homophobe, and a Belle and Sebastian fan at the same time, can you? I think he's giving the typical movie going masses exactly what they want- violence and sex basically. I think it's all a game to him. Anyways... You guys have fun. Curtis p.s. Don't see the movie. It's really bad.

Sinister: I've missed you guys ....
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 05 Aug '00

05 Aug '00

First post in ages. I've been sans computer for two weeks, which has actually been really hard. The CD writer on mine was stuffed, and it took them AGES to fix it. Which was a pain. Actually, I did have access to my e-mail off my ISP's site, but a few days into my computerless existence they "lost" my e-mail. And of course I didn't hav anybody's address. Except for sinistrs, but I could only send the mail as HTML format. Whcih meant it always got bounced back. So here I am ..... Somebody gave me a list crush vote a few weeks ago. I am flattered and intrigued. Somebody likes me and I don't know who .... Random thoughts on stuff people have said over the last two weeks. Well, someone said something about Belle & Sebastian being "capitalists" because they put non-album tracks out as singles, "forcing" us to buy them. Ummm ... nobody is putting a gun to your head, listees. And personally, seeing as I'd be buying the singles anyway (of my own free will) I'd rather they had as many new songs as possible. So I think it's a good thing they do. Value for money, post-punk ethic etc. And yes, I would have liked the first three EPs compiled as a single CD. But if they had of done that I would have bought the compilation album ... rather than just the slipcase. So again, good, money saving thing. How dare you complain .... etc. etc. etc. Ordered the boxed set of "69 Love Songs" after a few people had been talking about it. Am so excited ..... There is this aweful programe here on TV called 5:30 live, which is (guess what) a live magazine show which is on at 5:30pm. They have this clueless girl doing music reviews, more on account of her (admittedly) gorgeous body than here latent talent. Anyway, last night she gave "Fold Your Hands .." a great review, whilst missing the point entirely. (I wish I had a transcript .... I think she said they were "quirky" at one point.) Anyway, they showed about 30 seconds of "The Wrong Girl" video, which was exciting for me. And then I had barbequed squid steaks for dinner, so it was a great night. To answer my own question about where the "party" noises were in the new B&S album, I discovered this in last weeks Melody Maker (the one with Mansun on the cover). There was a wee article about Tony Doogan and the making of the new album. Buggered if I can hear it though. For those of you who haven't read it, I may try and transcribe it this week, bearing in mind I am THE SLOWEST TYPIST IN THE WORLD. (Honey, ALL of my posts take more than fifteen minutes to create - even the two line ones!) Finally .... ***SELFISH TRADE QUESTION*** (sorry everyone else) I am trying to locate CD/fm stereo quality copies of the Radio 1 evening session. The one with: Seymour Stein Lazy Line Painter Jane Sleep the clock around Slow Grafitti Does anyone have a *really* good copy of this session they could copy on CD or tape for me? I can respond in kind with the two Radcliffe sessions sounding super-duper, along with the Apocolypse Tube version of "Lonliness of a middle distance runner" on a tape or CD. Please mail me if you can help ... and if you have the "Bus tour mini session" of "The Wrong Girl" that would be even better. Sorry folks .... Anyway, hope all is well in Sinistrland. Glad to be back. rock on (or something) Lawrence Mikkelsen http://www.akn.quik.co.nz/mikelsen/aboutme +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: in the aeroplane over the sea
by LunaLilly＠aol.com 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

Hello all. So I have made four converts in the past year. Very exciting. Actually it matters so little in life but what the hell it's some actual Belle and Sebastian content from me for once. Also I was at Barnes and Noble indulging in a very carmely drink the other day (not that I support corporations like that, but sometimes it's nice to have books and coffee all at the same time) and I really truly swear Stuart M was there. Very odd. I had never seen this boy before and I just think he looked like SM so much. But I know why in the hell would he be in Omaha. So it wasn't him. But how I wish it was and he would have slid up to my table and said "my I really like your powerpuff girl watch....and you are so lovely ...you would look so good in my car." A bit straight forward for him I know...but oh my I would swoon and slide off my chair into a pool of carmely drink. Boys don't usually approach me unless they are old or gangsta. It's no good. Oh my this is ludicrous. Damn silly. So how is everyone? I really like loneliness of middle distance runner thank you David. It's so nice....has anyone read the book or seen the movie? I'm sure you all have. I had a dream last night I met a boy with red hair and he was wearing an Elliott smith watch and he was reading Mother Earth News magazine. Very odd....and I was quite excited about it because you never see anyone reading that wonderful magazine. Also my best most closest friend is NY visiting this boy she ofcourse likes and she is thinking she might move there. Not for a year in which she'll be living with me..but still when she told me I tried to be happy but I was just crying so hard. It will be the worst. She is my favorite friend and the only person who really understands me. She is very sad too. I hate change like this. Everything good always ends. Oh well. Isn't that life....and I hate it. Also I am taking a new job I think sitting with this wonderful old woman. She is so sweet. I adore her so much and I'm quite excited to get paid for something as great as taking care of this peach of an old woman. Sorry to ramble I'm sure the three people who have actually read to this point of the email are ever so bored. Thank you. All of you have a wonderful weekend. And remember how special you all are. Ha. Ok....that's enough. Olivia P.S. I'm going to see Camara Obscura this weekend...not that you care...but I am excited as hell and I wanted to share +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: my generation
by carey lander 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

don't read my posts. they're rubbish. hello. i was doing that deep thinking thing you do in bed sometimes and pondering how wonderful sinister is and things and had the alarming thought that maybe one day it will end. how would this work? would there be a closing date one day when honey is too wrinkled to cope with us and we'd have a month of tear-stained goodbyes? or will we be still glued to our inboxes when we're OLD. i mean i know many of you are already OLD but to a bright-eyed 18 year old this seems like quite a novel idea. will we be posting about the latest antics of wee jane, jenny and lisa? (having married our list crushes ofcourse. except we cant all marry erica.hmm. problem) i quite fancy the idea of a sinister retirement village near the sea. like an everlasting bowlie. and with a big library of laura llews books to entertain us. goodness me.just think how big the archives would be by then. and some young kid would come in and play old favourites to us on the piano and we could have a sing song. oh god. im being twee. sorry. anyway. i think you get the point.i wont go on and on. it was just inspired (?) by liking you lot. but i hate to suck up too much.its just not cool. happy aging kids :)and OLD people love xxxx i did say this would be rubbish.sorry. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Last Exeter To Brooklyn
by P F 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

I was feeling kind of silly *************************** ATLANTIC TOSSING Peter Miller Heavy sent a post without the word 'Rod' in the title. When we'd recovered from the blow, we could see that he'd asked: >>Has Trousers joined The Economist? All of a sudden there are articles >>about J-Pop and Hello Kitty and lots of sly music references in the photo captions and amusing headlines. Your references, Miller, are obscure. I only know what this 'kitty' thing is because Stevie T once gave me one. Obscure, then - but accurate. The conjecture about the Economist, however, is half-true at best. The boy Troussé now works in a position of authority at the Royal Mail. He chairs meetings where they say, - Shall the Royal Mail's colour change to orange? - No, orange is trés 1998. A banal vignette at best. I'm just serving as a relay of information, you understand, now that the boy T is no longer with us in person. See, now he's got this new job, he's banned from sending e-mail, which is in competition with the loveable and traditional forms of postage it's now his brief to sell. I suggested to a pop star today that Miller might be a front for a Rod Stewart advertising campaign - might even be Rod himself (why not? He's been everyone else). She agreed, I think. As far as Rod goes, I keep coming across vintage Rod CDs everywhere. The other day, I was listening intently to Stevie's tales of the post office, when, crashing blindly into a lamp-post, I fell into a CD shop with Rod a plenty. Some of it was poor Rod - the disappointing When We Were The New Boys, etc. But some of it was *classic* Rod. I came away with a £5 copy of the remastered An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down. It's only 33 minutes long, but so is It's A Shame About Ray, and that has a slightly shorter title. Mind you, I think Ray is a better LP, despite the decency of the Rod effort. Any takers? I know Nicky D is out there somewhere. Then the next day, I found Never A Dull Moment for £6. I didn't pick that up, but probably will. Seems arguable that once you've got these 2, Every Picture, and Gasoline Alley, you really don't need any other Rod in your life. But am I being too proscriptive here? ------------ DEVON CAPS LOCK Alasdair Cook marshalled his difficult name and breathed: >>And if Heaven never existed, at least Heavenly did. If only Tim Popkins were here, it might be in order to muster some great jokes along the lines of, Just Live Devon Stairway To Devon Devon In A Wild Flower and the like. But without him around, will anyone get the clever pun involved? Possibly 'lixibell', who has a book about puns. Ally96 continued: PPS It's a simile. That he has a Parliamentary Private Secretary of his own does not surprise me. I can say without hypocrisy or irony that I've sometimes seen the boy Cook as a future Premier of Scotland. But as for the rest of the line, I think it refers to a simple metaphor which some clown mentioned in the last post of July (whose archive nonetheless includes posts from August). Come to think of it, I was the perpetrator. Here's why. 'It's just a simple metaphor / For a burning love' - Lloyd Cole, Forest Fire, 1984. In early 1989, a Scots pop magazine called the Cut reviewed Lloyd's Best Of, and quoted this line, adding 'If a simple metaphor is needed, Lloyd Cole is like cheap cola: flat, lacking the fizz and originality of the real thing', etc etc. At the time I thought this was clever rock writing. It struck me that some folk distinguished between a metaphor and a simile: the latter involving similitude ('like a forest fire'), and that the reviewer could have said that Lloyd's was, strictly speaking, a simile. Heaven knows, this was mere pedantry, not least because a simile is one class of metaphor. But Cookie96 has revived the charge in comic vein against my description of sinister last week. I appreciate his solicitude for the treasures of the text; but I think he's mistaken, cos I said: >>This list has fair exploded into a forest fire of action in the last week >>or so which does not involve any explicit allusion to similitude. ------------------------ CAT-TIN MARVELS Geoff recounted: This cat has started walking into our house, strutting up and down the kitchen like he owns the joint. I gave him a saucer of milk and some batter. He hasn't started sitting on our sofa yet, but I wouldn't be surprised it he did soon. That's Martin Robinson. Didn't you realize? ------------------------- SAW A MOTORCRASH Ally96, who's been on fire lately, also excited me with this kind of talk: The spirit of rock 'n' roll is alive and well, and it is dedicated to the first Sugercubes album. Where were YOU in '89? Have you ever dedicated an ideological way of life to such a transitory item as a pop record? Perhaps pop should not be dedicated to aspects of life, instead we should postulate the theory that pop music IS life itself. I found this interesting, though self-confessedly enigmatic. I think 96 had been attending too many shows in Camden and getting amazing vibes about pop about pop. When I say too many shows, I mean the opposite: he'd been, he'd seen - and he'd got the picture. I think - I'd like to think - he's bang on. He bangs on, too, sometimes. Or does he? >>>A snapshot of his life was all he ever gave them, but the flash didn't wake them up, it was the music that did that. The music of someone he loved. They went to the park. Someone, somewhere, caught a bus. I thought this was fine, too. There should, perhaps, be more of it about. Why isn't there? - Because it's rubbish! whispers a wee Go-Betweens-admiring Scots footy expert bairn. ---------------------------- HE'S A WATERFALL Steady Mike - for it was he - typed. Then he thought - things like: >>Ultimately, I did neither - shuffling out of that humid box with a stolen bottle of Becks. The excellence of this paragraph (go and reread it - why not? It was very fine), I think, is distilled best in that 'that humid box' . Can anyone explain why? Something about the detachment of that 'that', is it? >>I am prepared to have my preconceptions challenged here, however. OK. Watford outplayed you in the 1984 Final. The Cocteau Twins' work improved steadily as they entered the 1990s and left their early excessive spirit of adventure behind them. Ditto Throwing Muses, who are now, if they're still going, at their peak. The Alarm vied with Phil Collins to make by far the best records of the 1980s - it's down to 'Against All Odds' vs '68 Guns', folks. So-called Midi systems are the best way of listening to music, especially if it's precision and clarity you're after. Richard Briers is neither funny nor poignant. Phew. >>Elsewhere, a boy called Brown opened his closet and the skeleton of Green Gartside fell out. No embarrassing bag of bones this. Eloquent, confident in tone - but baffling. Can anyone explain? >>>Unless I've been skimming posts even more than usual (and I have), I >>>don't think there's been over-much examination of the brief, swimmy, piano-led instrumental which shares track-space with "Judy Slap" on the ex-hit single (CD version). I think Chris Jones mentioned it, to a deafening wall of indifference. I think it's comfortably the best thing on there. Does this have a name of its own? Shall we give it one? "Sticky Farrago". "Grief Jollies". "The Path To Rushmere St Andrew Is Gloomy And Unyielding". I know you can do better. It's called "Sonic Primrose", and it's by nand. I thought that had already been made clear. ********************************* When I stepped in some Caerphilly ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

It's nearly as bad as that Diana thing: Wall to wall royals. I'm only upset about this because it's Friday night and I'm stuck in the house ( you can all tell can't you?) *cheesy grin* Anyone seen the video for Bohemian Like You by the Dandy Warhols?.

Sinister: simple things
by amy_jackson0 04 Aug '00

howdy it's that time of year again. the time where i grow closer to the day where i dread seeing the post van coming along the road. i get my exams results on the 10th. if i don't get 4 B's, then i'm stuck in gairloch for another year, and i'll have to go back to school. now, for various reasons too horrible to describe, that is a fate worse than death. seriously. so i've got to do well. i need four B's. i did highers in art, french, modern studies (like politics and stuff) and english, and a module in maths cos i is thick wif numbers, but i'm convinced i've f*cked up badly. i did this last year for my standard grades, and i got six grade 1's and two grade 2's, which is apparently like six A's and two B's in GCSE's.... so that was pretty good, and i think if i stick to this theory, of convincing myself i've done badly, then maybe i'll have done well. oh who am i kidding? i've been offered a place to do a BA in Arts and Social Science at strathclyde uni and i REALLY need to go there this year, cos there is no way i'm going back to school, to be with a bunch of people who hate me, take the piss and generally make me miserable. so i must get 4 B's. sinisterines, you will be among the first to know my results. if i can get on the internet that is. we got another massiiiiiiiive phone bill in the other day, and i've been banned from the net during the week. oh joy. so you'll probably hear on friday. or saturday. as if any of you actually care, i can hear the giggles/sighs of annoyance already, and i haven't even sent this yet! loneliness of a middle distance runner is great. even better than legal man, but we won't get into that one again, will we?! have been reading a book called "sophie's world" lately. it's about the history of philosophy and stuff, and is very good. but what i like about it the best is how the girl gets these secret letters every day. i mean, she knows who they're from (a philosophy teacher) but it's just quite cool. i wish i got secret letters, i never get any post or anything these days. you can send me secret emails if you want, they're better than nothing i suppose... ho hum as for the subject line... it's my favourite b&s song at the moment. small but perfectly formed. but nothing beats the recorders in "the boy with the arab strap". woo, and indeed, hoo. i'm off, amy xxx "wisest is she who knows she does not know" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: looking for someone who has the 3 sessions for trade
by John F. Monroe 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

I am hoping I can find someone who recorded the 3 main Belle and Sebastian off radio in '96 and '97. If you did, and want to trade ( cdrs would be great, but tape is fine as well, i can do either ), I can offer you a veritable plethora of trade goodies by a huge range of bands ( especially if you like The Fall :) ). I really am just looking for someone who recorded it themselves, and not a copy of a copy of a copy, if you know what I mean. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Mr. Miller + music showers
by Punta de Llapis 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

Hi you all! I'm writing to ask you if somebody knows anything about Lucas D. A month ago or so, he told me he was coming to Europe, and that he'd call ... So I don't know if he's still around. (He sent me some terrific pics: you know, he shot the camera himself... It was funny to see what distortion could make to a face...) Well, I'm not sure you received my first post (I didn't received it)... So I would like you to tell me if you read it. In case you didn't, I'm Annabel, and some days ago I saw....................... Yes! Mr. Miller ! And... Yes! He looks like a tourist, here, and he doesn't seem like his brand-new brother... Maybe he looks like the mother, and Jordi to the father... Anyway, I saw them all (including Annie and her friend Yi-mee)... A wonderful pic-nic! About Mr. Miller... Mr. Miller is a very attentive man, the kind of person who agrees with his head when you are talking to him, until you finish, and then he ads an affirmative word like "oh, yes..." that sounds soft and truly... He's a listener, he looks at you, he listens to you and shows interest to what you are saying... To know him it was methafisic experience... Mr. Miller is the dreamt son-in-law that all the mothers wish for their daughters... To introduce myself a little more (sorry for the ones who maybe know it yet): I'm Annabel, I'm 26... And I'm addict to Belle and Sebastian songs. I use to listen them while working ('cos I work at home... Painting beautiful drawings for children that Isaac, my couple, draws...), while cooking, while cleaning and while we are in bed... Yes! There, too. And at the bathroom, while taking a shower... Well, I must say that not only B&S... I use to take the showers with Robert Smith, too... (Not the guy of the list!) Now I must leave you, but I promise to write you more often... Me and Mr. Morrissey are going to the kitchen... (What are we going to cook, Mr. Morrissey, a bit of meat? It's only to change a little...) Bye !
