Sinister: voting thing at the fanclub site
by blue soda 27 Apr '98

27 Apr '98

we've just passed 300 subscribers to the voting booth, and in light of that i am prepared to add 5 questions of your choosing. if you want to nominate a question then just let me know, it must be a question that the answer can be marked on a 0-10 scale. so, instead of "do you reckon belle and sebastain will ever release tigermilk?" the questions will be listed like; "on a scale of 0-10 (ten being highest), how likely do you think it is that belle and sebastian will re-release tigermilk?" get the idea? david k PS: no-one has sent in anything to colour i, so it looks as if the international colouring competition will be called off before it starts! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Dog on Wheels?
by Huw Jenkins 27 Apr '98

27 Apr '98

Anyone know the name of the song after The State I'm In on Dog on Wheels as my brother gave me a copy of the EP yesterday with no track titles and I reckon it's my favourite B&S song ...ever. Also, any London picnic goers like playing 'shithead'. creme chantilly, Huw

Sinister: picnics for really scared easily intimidated people.
by David S Mccarthy 27 Apr '98

27 Apr '98

I'm writing on behalf of all those people who are too scared to go to picnics 'cause they don't know anthyone. On saturday morning I found myself with such a problem and was frantically watching channel five and chain smoking while my flatmate who said she'd come to hold my hand insisted on staying in bed untill 12:40, adamant that it would only take her 3 minutes to shower and ten minutes to walk up to Byres road. It took her 5 minutes to shower and it took us twenty to reach byres road. It had started raining halfway through our journey and by the time we reached fopp the other waiting listees looked even more scary due to their bedraggled rain-soaked appearance. But appearances can be decieving and they all turned out to be dead nice. The picnic itself was interesting, with scotch eggs, fairy cakes and the scary bloke with cheese sticks.Then the orchid show, then the pub. It was bizzare, at first it was just wierd sitting with people you don't really know but then people started talking about the list and then more abstract things like being chased by cows and medical problems mostly to do with testicles. Then all too soon my flat mate started to feel queezy due lack of sleep and abuse of alcohol,nicotine etc and had to leave, strangely drawn to farmfoods where she felt obliged to but three arctic roles for £1.39-bargin! I left soon after, happy with a day well spent. So hello to everybody I met, And anybody considering going to a similar event - don't be scared ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: so did that NYC picnic happen?
by Ciflux 27 Apr '98

27 Apr '98

...because it poured rain all day. Callie and I had every intention of going -- I even phoned Megan to see if it was still happening, waking her from a sound sleep -- but there seemed to be no word about alternate plans. And as poetic an image it might provide to spend Sunday afternoon huddled in a rainy Central Park, it didn't seem like the optimal picnicking atmosphere. Is there a rain date scheduled? We really should have a proper outdoor picnic in NYC... Mike ciflux(a)aol.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Chris said >Sorry, how embarrassing. As was >most of my turbo alcohol injected patter in the later hours of the >afternoon oops. We should have had name tags. Ah, the pub. Oh dear. I think I must owe someone a hell of a lot of drinks, but people kept offering to buy me them, so I just drank and drank and failed to recognise Stuart Murdoch, and then, in an attempt to be sociable, started talking rubbish to whoever happened to be sitting beside me at the time. Anyway, I enjoyed the bits I can still remember. Hi (and appologies) to everyone who was there. Luv Iain Iain Jones, Glasgow ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

> Hello all > > In response to the people who have mentioned H & L > over the last few days, if you see the single BUY IT. For all you US listees out there, the Hopkirk & Lee single has been released in your fair land this week as a four song 7". Also Rough Trade in London have it apparently. In the same manner as phone messages from my mother all the other important information like cat numbers & label details have passed through my brain & hid behind the sofa but hopefully someone else may be able to help with this? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Pish Factory
by PJMiller 27 Apr '98

27 Apr '98

Good afternoon everyone, Before I embark upon a lengthy discussion of P!O!L!I!T!I!C!S! and P!O!P! with special reference to the Jamaican general election of 1976, I would like to take this opportunity to clear up a matter of great importance: Stuart David's Amazing Technicolour Outburst. May I suggest the following manner of expressing Mister David's tortured cry of monumental existential anguish ("Listen, this is pish, I think I'll leave") in the language of Cervantes? A ver, esto es pish, me parece que me voy a marchar. Now, I hope that's cleared that one up. Onto the matter in hand: Popology and politics. First off, I rather enjoyed the Redskins' classic workers' anthem "Keep On Keeping On", which played a major role in the formation of the South Derbyshire Union of Democratic Mineworkers, whose Swadlincote offices can be found next to KwikSave, opposite the dentist's. Edwina Currie country, as was. Which brings us neatly to another pop-politics ley line : Edwina Currie's daughter. Last time I was in Blighty, she was mouthing off about how her daughter was a really great singer and the Spice Girls were all slags. Did anything ever come of it? The Jamaican general elections of 1976 produced some really great pop - Fire in Kingston by Yabby You springs to mind, in which Yabby tours the war zones that were Kingston's ghettos in the election year of 1976; the rhythm was played by Sly and Robbie at Channel One. I made that up. There's loads more. I must say, I do like a bit of pop and politics, the more simplistic the better. But I don't think B&S is ever so political, apart from sticking up for drips or something. Now, the Style Council, there was a good political group. I don't know why they get such rotten press these days. I almost bought a "new" album for the first time this year at the weekend - CappaDonna. But I chickened out. I have been calling Mog-W-A-I Mog A-W-I ! How embarrassing! I think I'd better slink back off to my hole. Speaking of which, I had a very B&S experience yesterday. I found a bird's nest in a hole in a wall. Oh how lovely! Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
