Only started happening a few days ago. First I thought perhaps I've just become fixed in a find of "got-pissed-quite-bad-last-night" sort of peacefull daze, then I've been sitting around in perfectly normal places and having these brightly coloured moments where a smile spreads over, not from feeling I should but that there is genuine hope that my dreams WILL happen if I push hard enough, as this is not always something controled by us, and from realising my world is actually quite as beautiful as I tell myself. I knew that all along of course and was very grateful, it was just very hard to see and enjoy. My sister and I had a conversation and she clearly could see how delicate a situation it is to enjoy this as I've no idea how long I'll be above the clouds this time. Delftware sky and melted tar on the roads. Summertime that I always think of on down days could happen soon and against all good(village folk) advise, I will be in London as of next month. I'm thinking that I'll have so many people around me and be unable to have empty months again, I barely think I'll have an empty moment, look!I'm smiling up to my eyes again. I've even managed to shake off a silly concern I've had. It's of writing with blue ink and is a very awkward thing have worrying you. I think I can say it: I'm getting over the empty feeling and over the lonely one too, think I could let stuff touch me again. I also think I could really love someone too. That should be nice. No, actually that would be the best thing ever.

Sinister: sinister: t-shirt weather
by Histrianic＠aol.com 10 Jun '02

10 Jun '02

It is insanely hot in Korea. Yes, ladies and gents, I have made my return to my parents' homeland where Belle and Sebastian the band don't reside, but there is a cafe named B&S. I will be taking picshures and maybe sending them into Honey. Kudos to Ms. Alder for a fantastic rendition of 'Bel Leaves the Belles. It made me laugh and tumble about. I hated Storytelling. Sorry, I just did. I hated Early Letterman, and I hated Fuck This Shit, and I hated the song about Jersey. I hate New Jersey. I lived there in America's armpit for quite a while, and loathed every moment of it. (Am I going to get kicked off the list now?) Right-o, I'm taking my leave now. cheers h +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: B+S in poster promotion shocker!
by Miss Marianna Longmire 10 Jun '02

10 Jun '02

I'm seeing things you know. B+S posters to be precise. Everywhere. Never in my life did I expect to see six on my way to work. At which point I express great joy over this discovery, only to find my colleagues (who generally walk the same way as I from the tube), have failed to notice any of them. They then stare at me with blank expressions and query just what it is I'm talking about. These are the same people who start every conversation with me by asking if I've been to any Belle and Sebastian shows over the weekend. Memorised a topic of conversation yet?! Bah! Regardless, it's been quite a day for B+S paraphernalia spottage. Walking home from Bethnal Green, a carefree gent strolled past me sporting the lovely ladies t-shirt. I wanted to stop and comment on his attire but alas, by the time I untangled my headphones from my lapels, he was gone. Happily, I walked a bit further and found some graffiti near London Fields. On a billboard, there was a line drawing of the cover of FISHYCLAP. Further on, amongst the "Anna sucks JiZZ" and "Sikhs rock" scratchings, "Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie" was scrawled on the walls in the ghetto. Honestly. B+S fans down Hackney way. I wonder chu could have done that. Speaking loosely of clotheage, the inimitable Mr G Pallis once asked if it were acceptable to wear the same outfit twice, even if you were unlikely to meet those who had seen you wear it before. The obvious answer is no. Nicole* wouldn't be seen dead wearing yesterday's Vogue must haves, and neither should you. It helps to create an air of (insert style of choice here) elegance about you and instantly transforms you into someone cool and popular. Your wardrobe should be as fresh and fascinating as The Basic Eight 's opening chapter. I of, course can only aspire to such things as a) I am poor and b) I have a nasty tendency of falling in love with some random dress or jacket or red Mary Jane shoe and tend to wear these far too often out of infatuation before tiring and tossing them aside. Damn it! I will never be hip. However, an old friend of mine once wisely said that if you wear the same outfit often enough, people are more likely to remember who you are, and they're even more likely to think you are someone of interest to talk to and will subsequently buy you beers in exchange for conversation. He was a wise boy. He also wore the exact same outfit for the entire time I knew him. Three years. And I doubt he's changed it since. For a time I was convinced he had rows of identical outfits in his cupboard a la Bruce Wayne. He always did have a fondness for old school Batman comics. xx Marianna * Nicole being, of course, the most fantastic bitch troll from hell in Popular. You should all aspire to live your lives by the law of Nicole. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Truth stranger than fiction?
by Lucy Alder 10 Jun '02

10 Jun '02

"Fair Isabel, poor simple Isabel!" If only Keats had realised quite how prophetic his words (pub. 1820, fact fans) would turn out to be! For I shall now narrate for you the true story of our modern Isobel, whose cello will surely become *her* Pot of Basil, which her tears will keep "ever wet." But who is that mysterious person who said "scape at once from Hopes accursed band...?" The scene: a hotel room, somewhere in the American Midwest. The telephone tinkles. The alabaster arm of our Scottish heroine emerges from under a puffy eiderdown and crisp white sheets. Isobel: Shit, wheres that fucking phone? The delicate fingers fumble around the bedside table, knocking a glass of Perrier onto a bowlful of untouched granola, before finding and lifting the receiver. Isobel: Hello? Bill Wells: Ello sweetheart, how are you? Isobel: Bill, you lousy bastard, you woke me up! Bill Wells: But Izzy, darling, Ive got the raging horn and I just had to phone you. I thought you could, yknow, help me get it out of my system. Isobel: Oh Bill, youre so funny. Bill Wells: I fooled you for a second though, didnt I? (Hey reader, were you fooled too? Well the author ought to say that she had considered making Bill and Bel enjoy an ecstatic, virtual, transatlantic SESH, but frankly, the thought makes her feel thoroughly queasy, so she has chosen to employ a *cunning* plot device to avoid producing a puddle of vomit on the floor of her flat, which would be a bugger to clean up, especially from the gaps between the floorboards. Back to the story...) Isobel: (simperingly) Ha ha, Bill, youre so funny. Not like those boooooring band mates of mine. Do you KNOW what they want to do today? SOUNDCHECK. Can you belieeeeeeve it? Bill Wells: Oh, my little Belly Button, they *are* awful. You know, youve been propping them up all these years, youre the one with the talent, you know. Isobel: (simperingly) Do you think so, Billy Goat? Bill Wells: Of course! Your songs are so obviously the best, you sing far better than the others and nobody can play the cello *quite* like you. Isobel (simperingly) But Silly Billy, where would I be without them? Bill Wells: What? WHAT? Where would they be without you? That is the real question. Let me give you an example. I firmly believe they would never have got to number fifteen in the hit parade without your outstanding efforts on Legal Man. I mean, that video was GENIUS. Isobel (falteringly) S..S..So, what should I do? Bill Wells: Leave the band, Bel. Leave them now! Isobel: Are you serious? Bill Wells: Deadly. Isobel: No! Bill Wells: Yes! Isobel: Alright, you win. Sod soundcheck, Im going SHOPPING! Isobel puts down the phone, leaps naked from her bed, pulls on her pencil skirt, kitten heels and flouncy blouse (note: no underwear, that tart!) then grabs her handbag and makes like Carrie out of Sex and the City and heads downtown. ********** Another room in the same hotel, somewhere in the American Midwest. The telephone tinkles. An ARM OF SEX reaches across a desk and lifts the receiver. Struan: Hello? Bill Wells: Its me. The jobs done, shes gone. So... am I... in? Struan: Well, we need to keep it quiet for the moment but... you did say you can play the cello, didnt you? FIN Disclaimer: Look, I didnt get much sleep last night, OK?

Sinister: COS JERSEY's WHERE AMERICA'S AT
by Dirty Vicar 10 Jun '02

10 Jun '02

You know "Storytelling" the album? someone told me they'd downloaded it from one of those interweb sites and listened to it and it wasn't that good. In fact he bandied round phrases like "The Least Good B&S Album". But you know what, I went and bought it the other day, and I love it. I love "Storytelling" the album too. It has nice soundtracky piano/harmonica driven bits, and some songs that are very nice to listen to. What is odd about it, and maybe the cause of its not being liked that much in certain quarters, is that a lot if it doesn't really sound that much like B&S. I mean, it isn't full of Stuart Murdoch sung tracks about unpleasant things that happened to him at school, say. And the whole world of instrumentals is a bit of a leap for our favourite band. No, I like this record. Soundtracky records are often seen as being a bit wallpapery, but this has nice music to lose yourself in. I wonder why Todd Solonz used so little of it in his film, which I've never seen. Incidentally, the downloader decided on subsequent listens that actually "Storytelling" is a good record. Probably because he is a complete and utter dirtwad. In other news, The Pinefox is still coming to Dublin. I reckon we'll be going to The Palace on Camden Street on Sunday, although if you are planning on coming along I recommend mailing me off-list so I'll let you know what's happening. Apparently the Pinefox fancies himself as a bit of a scrapper, so if you fancy a fight the Palace is the place to go. praise Tobit. the Dirty Vicar +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: ...I'm feeling sinister
by AMEBIX13＠aol.com 10 Jun '02

10 Jun '02

Hello there all you lovely Sinistrines! It's seems that tons of people who haven't posted in ages, have started again, and well, I'm no exception...so much for trying to be different. Seriously though, I've been meaning to post for a couple of months now, it's just, well, that I'm lazy. So does anyone remember me??? Well, just to refresh your memories, and for all of the lovely new people...My name is Sean, I'm from baltimore, although may not live there for all that much longer...more on that later. I like lots of things, books, baths, educational television, singing in my car (and my shower, when the roomate isn't around.) Hehehehe, if you want to know more, by all means email me! I love hearing from people. And it really is exciting to see all sorts of lovely new people on the list. First of all I want to give a HUGE congradulations to Rachel Frootloop and Ben Apps!! Wonderful news!! So, yes, I have been enjoying life on my own lately...my house is quite liveable, although my lack of airconditioning is ! worrying me a bit, with the swampy Baltimore summer bearing down on me. I saw B&S in Philly not to long ago, and well, it was amazing...as silly as it may sound, hearing them play Sleep the Clock Around made me cry. *blushes* I have not yet heard the new album, but in light of the mixed reviews it's been getting, I've decided that the best thing is to go buy a copy of it, and make up my own mind on it. So yes, onward to the possible change of location that I alluded to earlier. It's a bit late for this, but I have decided to transfer schools, and switch majors, and I have finally, after some very intense and advanced brow furrowing made my short list of places I will apply to. I've decided upon University of Rhode Island, Stevens Institute of Technology right outside of NYC, and last, but certainly not least...The University of Glasgow! I am certainly hoping for the last one to come though, but only time shall tell...and I think I would be happy at any of the places I ju! st mentioned. Do any of you have any experience with any of these places, if so, I'd love to hear about it. I suppose that is it for now darlings, but I think I will be posting more frequently these days...Bye bye everyone. And an extra-special welcome to Gillian! *waves* Hugs and Pink Flamingos, Sean P.S. - Ex-Sinisterines Elise and Jimmy are doing grrrreat! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I drop some shit like some horses, imitate your mind state have y ou split like divorces
by jason.cochrane＠HydroOne.com 10 Jun '02

10 Jun '02

I think i need to clarify something. I may be a bitter shell of a man, but I don't hate women. I certainly didn't mean to imply that I hate any of you, seeing as I don't know anyone on the list. I just have a problem with the culture that surrounds me. I am just describing my city which is Toronto as I see it. I know it's a sweeping generalization. But what am I supposed to do? be affraid to make broad statements? I would never make such ridiculous comments like "she wanted it, they all do" in any sort of serious context, it was more of a play on that whole rrriot grrl deal ala Lydia Lunch that went horribly wrong. Of course how would any of you know that, without me telling you. So I can see why I may have been taken as a bit of a misogynist. I'm still getting used to this whole internet anonymity thing. I just take it as a given that no person would say such things not in jest. Apparently "cold ass bitch" and "getting filled" are not terms used the world over. I learn something new everyday. For reference a "cold ass bitch" is a woman or young lady who tends to be on the superficial side, and cares little for your feelings or the feelings of those around her. Not to be confused with the "MHB" (or money hungry bitch) who cares for your feelings as long as the money keeps flowing. "Getting Filled" is typically looked at as sex without any emotional meaning what so ever. Although in some circles it also alludes to particularly violent anal sex. Hope that clears it all up. have a nice day, Jason +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
