I just so happened to buy their album last Saturday. I still don't know
anything about them (except for my newly gained knowledge that they're
from Edinburgh!), I just fancied hearing a new Warp CD.
Certainly not "Bangin'" - actually quite mellow in a quirky kind of
way. A bit like a melodic Autechre or a more interesting Aphex Twin
Ambient Woks vol2. I like it anyway.

Let's all thank our fearless Honey for all these strenuous 'labors' on our
behalf: 500 babies!! Poor poor Honey! Each and every one on the list should
send along not only flowers and other gifts appropriate to this blessed event,
but a name for their little Sinisterian! Since we don't know what sort of
baby we'll be getting, why not something like Natalie Jason or Stephen Siobhan
-- let the babies sort themselves out later?

Well the big day's finally arrived. I promised when Sinister started
that I would have all your babies and today I'm delivering. Yes
Sinister is 9 months' old today and your babies are fair popping
out. Ouch, it hurts. I expect flowers.
Poor old Alex, who thought the list was knackered and sent a message
three times - an explanation. In the "good" old days lots of people
sent "administration commands" (like "unsubscribe") to the list - a
common mistake, and one you can't entirely blame people for (well you
can but the software should be better). People on the list got fed
up with this. So I turned on a standard check for it in the
software, which looks for things like "unsubscribe" and "help" and
sends them just to the list admin her/himself - so now only *I* get
to see them, and if in fact they're OK I "approve" them via email and
send them on. Aren't I nice?
Thing is - the checking is a little too keen and thought, because
Alex said "HELP" at a strategic point, that he might be one of these
pesky trouble-causers and so asked me to check first. And because I
was being rushed to the Western General in the back of a taxi,
screaming for morphine and wondering what to call my children, I
wasn't around.
So the moral to this tedious explanation is: a few (< 1%) or emails
will get trapped and I will have to give the software a nod. If
you'd rather I turned this off again (email me privately) then I'm
happy to. I just noticed some people got pretty fed up with a lot of
these unsubscribes going to the list (reminder: don't send them to
sinister, send them to majordomo(a)majordomo.net!)
[P.S. haha - I just had to approve THIS email]
What else? Well I might change the whole list's addresses for email
and WWW to something else - it makes in more portable in the future.
So look out for changes on the website
http://bee.home.ml.org/sinister
:) and in the footer if I decide to - the old ones will of course
still work for a bit but I'd prefer you to use the new. Another damn
good reason is so that my email address can be something fun. Anyway
I'll let you know if I decide to change it.

hellummo,
After reading interviews with Harmony "Arrogant Dipshit" Korine and hearing
him refer to himself as "the only great American filmmaker", I was somewhat
reluctant to see Gummo. But I went to a midnight show, and I thought it was
great--funny and beautifully shot and sick and very entertaining.
So.

Not that this is something to boast about, but I fear I can claim for the
record for quickest accident. I did pass my driving test, and waited in line
for hours at the Department of Motor Vehicles, like a true driver, for the
official license. I felt so proud of getting my wheels. However, as I was
pulling out of the parking lot of the DMV, my car met someone else's in a
nasty way. I saw it coming, panicked, and drove into it anyway. After
impact, I sat in the driver's seat, and to the horror of my mother sitting in
the seat next to me, I yelled out, F**K! I believe this was the beginning of
my losing favorite son status.
Someone stole my wheels

I'm just watching "In the Red" (so why are you writing a pointless letter to people you spent half a lifetime
with (well, that's what it seemed like when David, Gerard and Rory moved onto Azerbaijani villages beginning
with "V" - you had to be there) only 24 hours ago.
Doesn't Stephen Fry look old (and isn't he a complete genius, by the by)? Doesn't John Bird look, well,
healthier than he should, all things considered. And isn't the girl who's reading the news, who's also the
receptionist in I'm Alan Partrdige (which I'm dying to see again), completely foxy in every way? Mmmmm...
Ta for the picnic, then, David and Katrina - a stormer, even if the turnout wasn't quite as hoped. I think I
managed to down about 8 pints throughout the day, and may well have slurred myself out of a job this afternoon
as my brain didn't work at an interview. I made up for it by spending 25 quid on rekkids, including some Nick
Drake hits album - any advice to a Drake virgin like myself? I do like the Urusei Yatsura single, mind - and
the Kenickie one has grown on me, I must say...
Do Belle and Sebastian allow their songs to be used in feature films? I only ask because my mum, who absolutely
loves them, tells me that a couple of movies to be made very shortly want to use B&S material. Have any films
up to now included them? Sad as it may be, I'd just have to check them out.
Much love for now, you sweethearts, you.
Biondino, King of Prussia (nyahahahahaha!)

Hi,
Since Steven from Atlanta recommended some comics to read, I figure I'd
do the same. Here's what I've been reading: Pickle by Dylan Horrocks
(unfortunately on some sort of hiatus after 10 issues), Berlin by Jason
Lutes, and of course Love and Rockets (the comic was first), Eightball
and Optic Nerve. Detailed descriptions are unavailable due to laziness,
but Pickle centers around a town called Hicksville in New Zealand, and
Berlin is about Berlin in the early 20th century.
Now that the new song titles are in, maybe we should do a
"Favorite/Favourite new song title" survey, to complement the Favorite
Song poll already on the Blue Soda site, I think. Just send your picks
somewhere, and they will be posted. My favorite is I am Death, Will you
please kill me? I never thought that B&S would use that title, but it
just goes to show...
Also, if anyone is from Sussex, do you have anything
interesting/good/bad to say about the university? I'm going there in
October for an MA program, and I want to see what I'm getting into.
Yslr vstr.
Birjinder
