Sinister: London Picnic, Karelia, Social... but not in that order!
by blue soda 16 May '98

16 May '98

Firstly Mick Cooke wrote in a mail to us... > The Karelia are playing at: > The Garage, > Highbury Corner, London, on > Saturday 16th May, > Supporting Penthouse and Dream City Film Club. > (We're on first, so that should be 8.30pm at the very earliest.) > Tickets are £6. > > We are also about to tour Germany, with Richard Colburn, B&S percussion > specialist, on drums. Details to follow. > > Cheers, > > Mick -- Then I remebered that Nick Dastoor was asking about the socials, but since I've been unsubbed for a coupla weeks I hadn't told you all anything... so the details are as follows. The blue soda social is run in the poetry cafe on betterton street in covent garden, london. it is held every friday (but not the last one this month i'm afraid) and costs a mere £2.50 to get in. for that money we supply board games, snacks (just pistachio's and crisps and jelly babies), a film/showing of sort or a live act. In our first week we screened Gregory's Girl, in our second we showed Withnail And I, in our third we had a live acoustic set from a guitar duo (softly spoken and nice melodies, a bit red house painter-ish), and next week will be our forth. We're not sure what we'll have yet, maybe we'll show Trainspotting, but what we want to do if anyone has a tape of all the South Park's to date is show those. Who knows. It's a really cool evening out, starts around 7:30pm and finishes just after 11pm (get there early to get your money's worth, or get there late if money means nothing to you!). There's a great atmosphere and you're guaranteed to meet loads of people from the list who are simply the best to be around as well as inevitably meeting some cool people who stumbled on the poetry cafe that night. For more information visit http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/social.htm -- The next London Picnic will take place this coming Bank Holiday Monday 25th May 1998 (next one will be a Sunday, we promise!), it will again be held at Primrose Hill (it worked so well the first time, so why change it?) and again we'll meet around 2pm at Camden Town tube station. Yet again we think it's a great idea if everyone brings along an item for the food blanket, and maybe we'll beat the spread we had last time - soooo much food, it was lovely :) Entertainment includes the board games and twister (i'm not obsessed honest, it's trousers who beats people up if they don't participate!), soccer, croquet (sic?), sun, food, climbing lamp-posts to save kites, running around like fools, probably someone playing a guitar, anecdotes from a mis-spent youth and whatever else you all bring. Again, and this I can't stress enough, EVERYONE IS INVITED, no exceptions, whoever you are, if you can join us, you're welcome to. Anyone needing details can, after tomorrow evening as i've yet to update it, take a look at http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/picnics.htm and if you're doing a picnic and want it listed on this page, let me know by mailing me a similiar sort of listing for me to put on the page for you. -- So that's the news, I hope it's a good enough herald of my re-subscribing. As for other news, belle and sebastian anyone?, then we hope to let you know lots of new stuff over the coming month or so. love all you still, david kitchen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: B&S implicated in bizarre sexual practise.....
by Yaz 16 May '98

16 May '98

Milka twinkled: >And am I alone in thinking that B&S sounds like some bizarre sexual practise? NNOooo!! i, too, have been secretly worried about these (ahem) disturbing sexual practices associated with " B&S" for some time now... Birjinder said that Rod said that *and a certain Number One hit-record pop artiste posted the *following *message to uk.music.alternative. *> Well, hmm - yeah. I could never understand indie kids that had to *physically *> possess the original vinyl of Pristine Christine or Heavens Above. *I've *> copied Tigermilk to CD and MD and scanned in the admittedly *beautiful cover *> art so the actual PVC holds no mysical thrall. 150 quid for a *record? Why? >He also said that he bought 50 copies of If You're Feeling Sinister and >has framed all of them. Aww, who was this? i would like to buy and then frame 50 copies of If You're Feeling Sinister, if i wasn't a *sigh* wee, penniless student... >Have any of you given B&S CD's as gifts in order to indoctrinate people? I just bought a copy of IFYS for my best friend as part of a graduation present. I think that's all I'll give from now on, mostly because I'm so unimaginative. Yeah, me too. (My convert count gone up some more)....I'm so proud of myself :) Byeby, Yaz xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Allow me to introduce myself...
by PSYCHOSKAG 16 May '98

16 May '98

Hello All- Since I am new to the list, I thought that I would formally introduce myself. Some of you may have already received my call-out email for those in the Chicago-land area for a picnic...keep me posted if there is any intrest. My name is Johanna, and I am 19, and my friend introduced me to Belle adn Sebastian this year (in fact it was about 4 weeks ago) and I have not been the same yet. My friends lovingly dub it "Prisrock"-they think it sounds prissy, but I love it. Well, thats my story... I do want to point out exactly how much I love this list before I go though. Tis' a great thing to be sinister.... Be Beautiful- Johanna psychoskag(a)aol.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Work in Technology
by Birjinder Anant 15 May '98

15 May '98

Hi, Nick Dastoor said this: *Is anyone else pathologically unable to delete sinister e-mails *without reading them, no matter how many they have to catch up on. *I have just read 12 DIGESTS IN A ROW. AT WORK. I deserve to be *sacked. Has anyone here got caught sinistering during work hours? *Was it embarrassing? I haven't got caught yet, but I have come pretty close. I don't think I enjoy it as much when I read it at work, because I'm so nervous about my supervisor walking in, but this is now the only place I do read it. I just keep one hand on the mouse and keep it positioned over the minimize button. Does anyone have any better ways of dealing with this situation? And whenever someone does come in, I say "Huh...Ummm..." and then start crying. And Rod Begbie wrote: *Oh, and a certain Number One hit-record pop artiste posted the *following *message to uk.music.alternative. *> Well, hmm - yeah.

Sinister: Message for Girl Racer/Tasha
by Andrew Lison 15 May '98

15 May '98

Sorry to send this to the list, but I was going to reply to Girl Racer's message about people in SF, and briefly mention that I sometimes play guitar, etc. etc. but it keeps bouncing because Pixar's mail server somehow thinks I'm spamming them! So, Tasha, get in touch! Andrew ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Edinburgh Picnic
by Keith Watson 15 May '98

15 May '98

>Tigermilk was being played in Avalanche Records on saturday (the one opposite >the pear tree), dont know why im telling you this but work is boring today. >All talk of picnics has gone quiet, anyone planning an Edinburgh one before the >end of june ? >And...anyone recommend any good gigs in London this weekend ? as am going for a >wee holiday. >Cheers, >Mark. It's probably a copy of Tigermilk I did that's being played at Avalanche - funny how these things get back to the source! Yeah OK, let's have one before the end of June, how's about Saturday June 20th... Hand up who's going to come. Want to mail me about it and we'll sort it out. Portobello Beach seems likely - or Holyrood Park if we can't be arsed getting the bus. We're best make it the weekend when the longest day thing is not, so's not to clash, so the date may either be the 20th or the 27th as of yet. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: new single
by Marylka 15 May '98

15 May '98

Hello lovely people THis is my first real post after lurking for a while....in fact for ages, I win the award for the longest and most suspicious lurker. Well today is friday and i've been sitting outside all day eating slurpy icecreams while pretending to work. Three cheers for the weekend! Hurrah!! THe question I have is, when when when is the new B&S single being released?! I'm sure that this has been done to death a thousand times but I really am getting desperate here, what with no new B&S.....ooh get me away from here I'm dying..... And am I alone in thinking that B&S sounds like some bizarre sexual practise? love and twinkles, Milka xxx *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Boycott shampoo!
