Either way, it's the best song I've ever heard in my whole life (no joke) and ever expect to. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: A thundering day's hangover...
by Kenneth P Y Chu 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

Hi, .. is the result of a rather lovely picnic! It was quite fun... and it stayed bright for a whole 3 hours before pouring the bucket... the rain came down with great velocity (pun hehe) and we tried to stay dry under some umbrella thing before realising that it's futile and invaded the upstairs of the cafe which was the "party" area.. Looking at the "partiness" of that place it was just as well us drunkards were there to spice up their party! Then I didn't remember very much :) After Carey and Rob suppiled me with a generous portion of Industrial Strength Vodka and Red Bull (gasp!!!) to keep me stimulated :) It was lovely to have met you all and thanks for making my day such a good one.. I haven't had such a good time since, er, the last picnic!! I think there should be more picnics, MORE!!! The next day, hungover, Olivier (who we discovered at the picnic to have a striking - pun hehe - resemblance to Tore Andre Flo and Struan!) and I went to the Notting Hill carnival and it was quite fun, I was feeling a bit rough tho so no beer for me, so I just drank some you-know-what stimulation :) before getting squished by 9489024 people when we tried to get out... but in a fun way. Then when we got home, we compared our B&S CDs, and (wait for it) they ALL LOOK DIFFERENT! A few of the CDs have slightly different fonts, and the one set of the covers of TBWTAS and IYFS are greener/redder than the other! So you think you had the whole set of CDs in your colletion.. think again!!! Wow, a post from me with B&S contents!!! I must have had way too much stimulation, but then, no, one can never have too much stimulation :) Hugs and Red Bulls xxx Ken ====================================================================== Priest in a booth, had a photographic memory of all he had heard he took a note of my sins, and he wrote a pocket novel called "The state I am in" - Belle & Sebastian +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Ibis Hotel, midnight
by gogron 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

So I was in the Ibis hotel around midnight with some stray Malboros waiting for a minicab to deliver me elsewhere. This would be the beginning of a story except for the fact that all the major events preceeded it. So it became a lonely night... I've just been reading some of your posts about the picnic, which made me smile; now little words on the screen are people, and what a crowd! Hehe, one of the nicest bunches of people ever, all shining in the rain; shivering outside the pub, so far from home, the music starting to play; the warm feeling rising like dawn under the skin: see how I'm getting all mushy now? Evidently the 'bank holiday' was not one on my own workplace's calendar, so there was some hungover laughing-off of my unexpected absence yesterday. Building Control were on strike, cutting short a few calls. And, to the person with the leg that needs to get better, may you recover quickly. And, to the person with the hand that is slowly getting better: no worries; you're a darling. Make that carreer happen! And visit the National Portrait Gallery by Trafalgar Square: there is this fantastic electronic portrait of a neuroscientist down in the basement: entry is free; then go up the escalator to see the portraits of Queen Liz 1's prime courtier: the expression on his face is priceless and the paint is so glossy. 500 year's worth of cool. 3 years of red underwear. 500 more years to you all. #:) Gordon (Rousseau) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: London Calling
by Iain Radcliffe 29 Aug '00

Hello Sinister types, Name Dropping Bit I don't normally name-drop, but that's only because I never meet anyone famous, except JK Rowling, and she didn't speak to me. However, I had canapes with Magnus "Mastermind" Magnusson the Magnificent today, and he was a delighful old cove. He was opening a path no less, and spoke very eloquently to the assembled dignitaries about paths and related. He told me he was a pagan whilst smoking a pipe and drinking wine, (with abandon since he's recently been banned for drink driving) and for some reason JRR Tolkein sprang to mind. Tenuous Link Section So that was cool, and what also is cool is JJ72's debut is out and you all have to buy it. Trust me on this one, and I'll refund the difference if it ain't bootiful. Need friends and tour guides bit I'm coming dahn Lahndan (is this correct lingo?) on Saturday, and would request any friendly and fancy free types who would like to show me around and indulge in some pintage to email me or call 0181 735 9825 from Saturday onwards.

Sinister: French fancies and mouldy pancakes
by Lucy Alder 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

Mmm, there's nothing like a long weekend to make you really, really, really not want to go to work after it. But ah, the picnic was a goodie. Some mad Greek girl with the long, dark locks has finally made it over to London, so that made the picnic even nicer. But this one's destined to go down in history as 'the picnic where it pissed down', for it did. And then some. My red knickers got damp in a thoroughly un-smutty way. But talking of smut, David Moore wrote > Honey would have been gratified by the snatch snogging in the park. Well! I'm sure Miss Honey would have been gratified, because she's a lady who likes it dirty, but had I seen such a thing, I would have put a stop to it straight away with a few sharp bashes from my handbag. Kids these days! In public! On Saturday, I wore tights with seams up the back and my very highest heels and danced the night away to boogiemusic spun by Chris G and Richard C. Particularly amusing was the young man who thought Mark C was in B&S and proceeded to congratulate him on such a fine album. Ha! I stole a poster from the ladies' even though it wasn't allowed, cos I'm a rebel, I am. Oh, and there's proper, pertinent content coming up right now. I've had a good old rummage around in the archives and I can't find any references to this, so here goes... Last Saturday, I was staying with my Mum and Dad in Woking, so I thought I'd go into the local second hand record shop and talk Northern Soul with the nice man behind the counter. I rifled through some boxes of singles, discussed the merits of various compilation albums and he offered to make a tape for me (my sister pointed out that this has Significance in High Fidelity but I think he was just being nice). Then, he mentioned he had a box set of three videos about Northern Soul. "They're really crap," he said, "but if you'd like to borrow them and bring them back next time you come in the shop, you'd be very welcome to". What a nice man! So I took them home and put the first one on and verily it was crap. The person who made it (Ian Levine, former Northen DJ and East 17 manager, yes indeed) went to the States and filmed old Northern Soul sensations miming to their record of thirty-odd years ago in their front room or in the local park. Then, remember those rave videos you used to get with dodgy kaleidoscopic effects on them? He's gone and added those over the top. And Doris Troy has a magic colour-change dress! Then, about twenty minutes into the first video, what do you know? Up pop Mr Chris G and Miss Isobel C! Chris talks about the first time he went to a Northern club and how the DJs talk between records and then he breaks out into very disturbing, high pitched laughter. Teeeeeeeeheeeeeeeeeeheeeeeeeeeee! Just like that! Isobel just sits there looking purty. The legend reads "Belle & Sebastian Winners of the 1999 Brit Award for Best New Band They Love Northern Soul", no punctuation or anything. Like I said, it's a crap video, apart from one bit, but that goes without saying. Actually, there might be more than one bit of interview but I haven't even finished the first video yet, so if there is I will report back. And if you're interested in getting hold of the set of videos, it's called The Strange World Of Northern Soul and I haven't got the foggiest where you can get it from or how much it would cost. There, wasn't that informative? Brier Random talked about Mirah's loveliness and I'd like to second that. She has the voice of an angel. If you'd like to verify for yourself, you might like to try going to http://www.indiepopradio.com and having a listen because she often pops up on the playlist. That's the only time I'm ever going to mention indiepopradio because I've already blathered on about it to my mates for weeks and they'll hit me if I don't shut up soon. But I think it's quite good. Yay! The footie season has started again! I know that's a bit of a delayed reaction, but my team, the magnificent Woking FC, started off with two defeats so those matches didn't count (honest). They're not the church mice of the Conference, but they ain't rich. Even so, if we could afford Figo, I doubt we'd want him because we've got one of the Greats Of World Literature instead. I found this at http://www.cardsweb.co.uk DANTE IMPRESSIVE FOR RESERVE TEAM Dante Alighieri must surely be pushing Rob Hollingdale for that left wingback slot in the first team - he turned in another impressive performance for the reserve team against Hampon & Richmond Borough on Wednesday night. Move him to the first team post haste, I say. And while on the subject of football, weren't Rangers and Celtic playing at the weekend? What was the score again? Blimey, what a long'un!

Sinister: fleas, markets and trousers
by Mark Hester 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

Gary Maher: not just 'you americans' but 'we brits' refer to those biza...sorry bazaar thingies as flea markets. But does anyone know why? I've certainly never come away from one itching. I heard once that the fleas that infest humans are all descended from the deer flea. Which does call into question the habits of our ancestors. See, it could have been far worse, Ken, your father might have suspected that you had illicit carnal relations with Bambi. Liz: I, too saw those trousers in Parks Road, but in my case curiosity got the better of me and I *did* actually don them in the hopes that they were a portal to another universe. I was not disappointed. This new universe was identical to the one we inhabit in every respect, with one small exception, nobody but nobody drew on the faces of wet, sleeping picnickers. For those coming to the Oxford picnic....the University Parks are utterly devoid of umbrellas! The next record-breaking attempt will have to wait until the next Greenwich one I'm afraid. Now, who took those pictures......?! Mark. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
