Sinister: Emma was a teenage rebel
by emily 14 Sep '03

14 Sep '03

Well, since I'm new I thought I'd finally introduce myself to the group. Hello My name's Emily. You can call me Emma (so much more British).. I'm a yank. I've lived in the San Francisco area since I was 2. I saw B&S at the Greek in Berkeley and had a spectacular time. I've listened to Belle & Sebastian for years, I started with Tigermilk and I fell in love. I go to art school where I study Fine Art painting and drawing. You may see my work here if you like: http://www.geocities.com/emalineswine/drawings.html I've also danced ballet for over 8 years(http://www.geocities.com/emalineswine/ballet.html), play guitar (poorly), sing, write songs.. and a whole bunch of creative mumbo jumbo. If you tool around my site long enough, you might be able to find some aforementioned mumbo jumbo. I've also been to 9 countries in Europe and speak French and some Italian. I'm in love with Euro accents. I've recently developed an enormous affinity for Scottish accents (go figure).. So if anyone wants to woo me, it's pretty easy if you have an accent.. Oh, and it's even easier if you're Stuart Murdoch. However, I'd probably fall asleep with ants in my pants. Happy Weekend, Emma p.s. hope URLs aren't illegal here. they're safe.. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: Ex-Sinister boy, New York Tabber
by trixie firecracker 12 Sep '03

12 Sep '03

Dear Sinister, Though I feel slightly naughty, I have been listening to the new Belle & Sebastian album for the past few days. This is not normal behaviour for me. Usually I like to wait for the official release -- when I am able to hold the cd/record in my hands, artwork and all -- before listening to a new album in its entirety*. I plead temporary insanity in this case, as the illegally-downloaded-and-burnt-onto-a-cd copy was forced upon me by a cute chubby Jewish boy with an American accent. I can't say no to accented boys, especially Jewish ones. I don't know how many others have been naughty too, but I hope you are all enjoying it as much as I am. I have been waking up in the mornings with 'Wrapped up in Books' stuck in my head. A totally brilliant way to start the day. That bit where Stuart sings "I will wrap my arms around you" with Sarah harmonising, and then when Stevie chimes in... phwor! Makes me swoon every time. On an entirely different note: We all know how much indie kids and hipsters in general love Pirates and Ninjas**, but are you aware that there is an INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY? That's right! And it's NEXT WEEK! http://www.talklikeapirate.com/ Arrr me hearties! trixie.x *And of course I shall be running down to JB Hi Fi to purchase DICKYWUSS the day it is released. **And now ZOMBIES too. Zombies are the new Pirates and Ninjas you know. (I am sure you do know.) P.S. The aforementioned American boy (a former Sinisterine himself) has asked me to send you all this guitar tab for 'Piazza, New York Catcher'. So here it is. >> Belle and Sebastian Piazza, New York Catcher from Dear Catastrophe Waitress tabbed by jw - mysterysquad(a)letterboxes.org Unsure about a lot of the lyrics here. Questionable lyrics in parenthesis. Intro F# F# B F# (elope with me in private) and well sail around the world G#m D#m i would be your ferdinand and you my wayward girl G#m C# how many nights of talking in motel rooms can you take?

What a co-inky-dink! Just as Stacey is organising a UK baseball extravaganza I'm about to attend my first Dodgers game tomorrow! They're even giving out free bobble heads! In parallel unviverse type news I've been trying to teach some American buddies the intricacies of Cricket - with a proper "corky" ball and everything. I've been pleasantly suprised by their progress, though some still have a tendancy to throw rather than bowl, but I'm sure we'll work it out. Maybe one day there'll be a sinister world series. Oh and does anyone have any idea why Travellin' Light seems to be on the track listing for the US version of DICKYWUSS but not on the UK one?

A quick post, that is Hello y'all, I'll be popping up to Glasgow on 27th September, and I was wondering if there was a nice friendly indie night thing on that Saturday that I could go to. There's nothing in Darlington, the kids get excited about Safeways' car park for god's sake.

Sinister: take me out to the sinister ball game
by stacey dahling 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

hey guys and dolls behavin? i don't know about you, but i've spent way too much of my summer indoors. and now, as it fades into autumn once again and the nights become longer and the days become colder and leaves fall and rot in smelly heaps, i'm all 'let's do something!' you know? my co-conspirator in all things american has returned - yipppeeee! - so now i can finally organise a proper baseball game. YUP! forget the footie for a moment - the great american pasttime will be making its official glasgow debut! well, disregarding my last lame attempt to get a few people together with bat and ball (good practice, eh?), and the rumoured indie all-star games of yore, of which i was not a part. so grab your best athletic apparel and ugliest trainers, glasgow sinister massive, and meet me at BELLAHOUSTON PARK on SUNDAY at TWO O'CLOCK. that even means you, shy lurker who has not yet managed to infiltrate the woodside. and bring a friend or two. it's about time we expanded our horizons and met new people. i'll provide the bat and some balls - soft ones so you need no glove to catch. i recommend bringing water and a hat and sunscreen. don't worry if you're not the fittest, nor if you've ever played before. our out-of-shape clueless shenanigans will be half the fun!!! even if you ultimately decide not to play, bring a blanket and some pom poms and maybe some potato salad or something and support your favorite team. if you need directions, or to get my mobile number so you can find us or whatever, email me off list. email me anyway to say if you're coming, or just to say hello. i haven't spoken to many of you in a long time. hope to see loads of you there. and hell, even if you're not in glasgow, maybe you can organise your own games. baseball=fun. bye bye! -stacey _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: B&S's L.A. Treasure Hunt Reprise
by Pesusich71＠aol.com 09 Sep '03

09 Sep '03

Hey all (or mainly the L.A. B&S fans) - I just subscribed to Sinister a fortnight ago and wasn't able to post until now. Anyways, I was just wondering about the L.A. Treasure Hunt. I got most of the scoop & pictures from one a few emails, but there were a couple questions that were still lingering if anyone here knows: 1.Was the final destination at Iguana Vintage clothing? 2.What time did the winners get to the final location? (we got to iguana vintage clothing (our guess of the final place)at 8.40pm. the store closed at 8pm) 3.any other odd/ cool things to mention about the treasure hunt? anyways, we had fun doing it. the galaxy theatre one stumped us the longest. the daily planet on franklin was good (we knew where to go and we kept on a lookout for anything superman related.) the other ones were good and fell into place nicely for us. sleeping the clock around, Jawn +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Lisbon
by Alexander Bartilson 09 Sep '03

09 Sep '03

Hi, I've spent the summer lurking but as the release date of the new B&S album is approaching I rise above the lurking surface for this small call for help. The thing is that a friend of mine is going to Lisbon in about two weeks and is planning to stay there for 5 months (to study). If I'm not mistaken there are some Portugeese people on this list. The thing is that he doesn't really have a place to stay in Lisboa. So if anybody has a flat or anything to rent for the next 5 month that would make my friend extremely happy. But I guess that's a bit of a high aim. So I'm also asking if there is anybody who could recommend a cheap and good youth hostel in Lisboa (preferable near the Eduardo VII park) where my friend could stay for the first few days when he looking for a more permanent place to stay. Thanks in advance. ///Alexander +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
