dear, dear, Sinister: got in nearly freezing this morning and since have been wrapped up in new books, someone gentle gave me a copy of 'Ys' and it sounds better than most other things, and now I am going to play more wine and drink Nightfire (because I'm only going to be making this first post to sinister, this yr, once, ever, ever). (because Croydon's where it's at!). no 'BBC Sessions' but that's alright, I've got Christmas money to spend. hope you had a good one, hope all the fragrances are a-okay and the wrapping paper's been cleared away (by someone else). much love and loving, Px +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Your cover's blown

Hey there sinisters, The year is ending, hope you are all well. Personally I had a very uneventful 2008 which makes me a little sad, as I kind of wished that something significant would happen. Never mind that though, new year is beginning and look there is an exciting cover design contest for matador's release of the BBC Sessions album! http://www.matadorrecords.com/belle_and_sebastian/lazy_contest/ Looking at the crappy designs submitted so far, I think I can stand a chance of winning. Maybe you do too! Ken ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This email is confidential and is intended solely for the person or Entity to whom it is addressed.

Sinister: Come and Sit Beside Me in the Dark
by layla 10 Dec '08

Dear Sinister, The first snowfall in Montreal. That particular hush descending on the streets, punctuated by the occasional rumble of a passing municipal truck, by the whine of summer tires struggling to gain a hold on the slippery pavement. I love the city in winter, and it's good to be home after so many years away. I made a pilgrimage to Glasgow in May. I wandered around the West End looking for Saint Theresa on the hill and was unreasonably excited to happen upon Stow College. I talked to almost no one for five days and walked my way through Belle and Sebastian's complete discography (including EPs and foreign releases, in chronological order by release date). It's a pity that Heaven in the Afternoon didn't bump one of the more lacklustre tracks off The Life Pursuit; I remember exactly where I was when my playlist inevitably went quiet on just that note. I don't know exactly why I'm writing now, perhaps for the third time only since joining the list five or so years ago. I'm sitting in my unheated living room under a fastidiously framed Fold Your Hands art print; my twenty-fifth birthday is fast approaching. I spend my days listening to fantastic tales and oh so calmly persuading angry people to come inside from the blowing snow, there will be a sandwich, you see, and later a cigarette, and perhaps a little something to help lull to sleep. It's a strange sort of life. Layla __________________________________________________________________ Instant Messaging, free SMS, sharing photos and more... Try the new Yahoo!

Sinister: And the moment will come
by Gayle E. Anderson 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Sinister. Isn't it nice to see a little activity here. These days I read every letter of every post, once upon a time there were as many posts to read a day as there are letters now. I don't have much to add, really. At the end of September I found myself, rather unexpectedly, 25 years old. The first time I heard B&S was when I was 15. I was in 4th year at high school and my English teacher made me a tape of TWATTYBUS/IYFS, I listened to them in that order, so the first song I ever heard was 'It could have been a brilliant career'. Shortly after that I got the internet, and Sinister was the first thing I joined. That was about nine and a half years ago now. The last B&S album I bought was FISHYCLAP and that is not likely to change, ever. I guess my favourite album is IYFS. I'm writing this because I have exams next week and desperately need to study. Obviously, because this is the best time to do things that don't really need done. Due a domestic incident I am currently staying with my boyfriend. Being away from there, well I guess its a relief in many ways, but I am having to drive much further for uni, I'm also concerned about Christmas and I miss the dog. I hate the broken family situation, and have always done my best to walk away when things get heated and until 'the incident' I always managed. And the first time I decide not to back down I am met with a violent response. I really can't stand the thought of my mother ending up alone and lonely, it makes me so sad just thinking about it, but she keeps pushing everyone away and there is only so much I can do. The situation with her family was not her fault, but she's since managed to alienate most of her friends and those that still call occasionally, she usually brushes off in favour of sitting staring at her laptop all day. Sometimes she takes the dog out for a walk, but mainly she only stops to smoke. Recently the boyfriend and I have visited a few forgotten places. It is absolutely fascinating! One of the places we visited was Glasgow Zoo. It was only closed five years ago, but it has been heavily vandalised and there is very little left standing. Even knowing the state the Zoo was in when it was closed, its still very sad to see it in this state. Most places don't make me feel quite so sad and return trips with fully charged batteries and tripods are imminent! I treated myself to some new baby Tarantulas, they are ever so tiny and cute :) Time to study, again :| x _._._._._._._._._ http://www.flickr.com/photos/iiisecondcreep/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
