hello my sinister people - i can't believe in two weeks i will be bereft of
you as i have to enter the big wide world of work..
never mind!
to business! i had a rather soupy twist day of purchases on saturday - twenty
five albums for just over thirty quid, everything from squeeze and the clash
to the mighty lemon drops and the triffids. amongst these i came across an
album by a band called "the close lobsters". i bought this A. because i liked
the name and 2. because when i first played belle and sebastian to my friend
stuart he said this is just like the close lobsters.
well i've listened to the album. nearly three times now. i can be buggered if
i can hear it, but it is absolutely great though. any information on them?
album is called headache rhetoric.
have nearly succesfully converted my SECOND person to b&s. it will be done!
best single out at the minute HAS to be by whistler. rare americna shoes is
teh a side. er how can i put this? it sounds a bit like young marble giants,
but with a jews harp and viola in teh background. and was written by yer bloke
from EMF who wrote unbelievable. it is truly, truly GORGEOUS!!! i now expect
everybody to rush out towards your nearest record shops and invest in this
wonder. it really is magnificent. but what do i know. i'm a library student -
sigh!
never mind
i'm off!!!
PIOW BOMBARD!!!!

He was here last week -- biondio or something. Posting from Hewson TV.
Hoy! Gamesmaster! When's the next series of Wanted?

My flatmate's Australian, and swears by the stuff. You can get it in
Somerfields supermarkets over here.

Kenickie's is great, and deserved to get much higher in the charts. (Hah!
That'll teach them to put out two CDs with crappy remix B-sides).
Spiritualized's single was as fantastics as is to be expected, in
particular the 7 minutes of Broken Heart. Embrace's is better than the
last one. Grandaddy was alright. Money Mark is great, and I'm going to
buy the album.
But my single of the week for last week has to be B*Witched's "C'est la
Vie". Just for the Irish jig in the middle eighth. Unprecedented.
Spice who?

It's the best show from the BBC all last year. Wonderful stuff. Look
forward to the chocolate mousse on tomorrow night's episode.

Well that means that you missed what enraptured myself and my flatmate
upon returning from the pub on Friday night... "Buddy's Song". With
Chesney "Mole" Hawkes. My, how we chortled. And it had your woman from
"Teenage Health Freak" (the bitchy one) in a totally unnecessary topless
scene.
An e-mail to Empire Magazine's "Where Are They Now?" page is in the
pipeline.

Mmmm, yes. Sally Phillips is her name, and she is just totally wonderful.
I met her at the Edinburgh Fringe a couple of years ago (getting the
impression that she was attached to Richard Herring), and she is lovelier
in the flesh.

To put an age on that joke, Ronnie Corbett told it on the Ben Elton show
last week. And it's been on this list before:

(Though everyone else thought that the Spice Girls joke was worth more
discussion.)
And now... Today's consumer tip:
If you own some of that strawberry-scented body wash stuff that they sell
at The Body Shop, do not, I repeat, DO NOT under any circumstances be
tempted, no matter how deceptively delicious the smell, to actually try
tasting the substance.
You will inevitably find this to be A Big Fucking Mistake (TM).

Hi,
It's very quiet..t .. t . . t
Sarah,
If you think having a neighbour who likes Jazzy stuff is bad,
I've got two disagreeable tastes either side of me: One drum + bass
with his own mixing deck etc. and one who listens to that modern
Indian racket with a cheesy beat and cringeworthy lyrics, and
something wailing in the background, both very loud or not at all.
When it gets bad the only thing for it is My Bloody Valentine - I
think it was invented for drowning out other noise.
Dangermouse gets my vote, followed by Batfink, which I remember
being really good but cannot in fact remember any details.
Concerning Manc picnics, I will be out of here by the weekend
after next, so maybe next term? (I don't presume this thing revolves
around me, but there don't seem to be many of us interested).
Now, I don't know if these things ever work, but if some generous
soul fancies making a tape of "moon safari" by Air for me, could you
mail me? (london or manc address)......I've run out of money
....boohoo.
bye bye, Henry

Hello everyone,
Well, it's about that time of year, isn't it, when thoughts turn to
summer, to a distinct lack of responsibility, and of course, NO
SINISTER!!! Oh no!! Run away! Yes, unfourtunately, I have to bid
farewell at this point, as I shall be returning to the parental home
from which I came as of Wednesday.
It's been a fantastic 9 months for the list (the babies are evidence of
this) and I will be so very sad to go. I'm looking forward to my summer
and all, but I'm gonna miss you guys.
So, you all keep loving and living and all that stuff, and I'll see you
all soon,
Bye now,
GIDEONxxx

Sorry I was wrong. I felt sinister for my English.
It is Angel's sigh.
In Japanese, " tensi no tameiki "
Sucks! English sounds much more better.
Crazy Japanese always want to name worse.

Certainly not, in fact the more "new" people coming along the better, well,
as new as anyone can be on a list that's only run for 9 months. Indeed a few
of us now know each other but that's absolutely nothing to do with not
wanting new people to come along. Please do.
Thanks,
Keith.

Hi
Well I have spent about 5 months now monitering the sinister mailing list.
sometimes almost plucking up the courage to write and then quickly loosing
my bottle. a couple of times now I have mailed one line questions but never
any more than that. Imagining your responses when forced to read something
that I have written is enough to make me tremblke with fear, well almost!!!
So summer has arrived and you are all talking of picnics and such.... tell
me are these picnics just for old established members of the list or can
anyone come along. They sound like such fun but one wonders if she would be
frowned upon for just turning up??
Someone told me a while back that Belle and Sebastian were due to make a
new release some time in May yet I have heard nothing since... was this
true or simply a viscious rumour???
Also are there any gigs/concerts in the pipeline at the moment.
Wee I guess I have done the same with this mail as always. asked a short
question, although this time I have at least tried to pad it out.
I would be very grateful if any of you could answer my questions and also
if you would forgive me for my rambling mess of a mail. I t must take time
and exoerience to become as good as some of you.
Later,
Anna
