Sinister: being a rebel is fine, but.....
by Tara Widmer 21 Apr '98

Hello to all, Hello and thanks very much to everyone who recently sent in the Belle interviews/reviews misc stuff yadda yadda... i love you all but can i just say how frustrating it is when someone posts "Belle and Sebastian are in Spin! Bye!" with no elaboration?? so anyway big CHEERS to all who went that extra mile and transcribed the bloody thing (genevieve for doing so twice i think!) That said, here's a review NME have of a band called Spraydog: "Great band name, fab song title, cool label title, nice sleeve artwork. Everything about Spraydog is groovy. Except the music. The music is, to be frank, nimby-pimply, generic lo-fi, no-balls, zero-imagination, sans talent, soppy-swot dog shit. Almost as crap, in fact, as Belle & Sebastian. No, really. "" oh hoh ho hehehe... admittedly their reviews are good for a chuckle, in spite of (or because of?) their procilivity to randomly mention other bands in reviews for the sole sake of dissing them... tho you'd think they'd have moved on to someone new by now? Whoever mentioned being in the Bay Area (Joanna?) hello we are in the same boat!! I guess a couple of listees are meeting up at Popscene on thurs to try to harrass the Djs into playing Belle, so if you're interested drop us a line:-) ummm I think I have a crush on a listee, but am too embarrassed to admit it... shake it shake shake it hi-KA! taralula ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: tigermilk trials
by Janine Papp 21 Apr '98

21 Apr '98

tigermilk trials How and why and when and where I became obsessed with Belle and Sebastian (by Janine) I first heard B&S on a tape my friend Jeremy made for me. I liked them. Then I heard a few more songs on a sampler. I liked them too. Then I tried to see B&S in NYC. I could not get in to the sold-out show, of course. Little did I know that so many other people were crazy about them. I was not yet totally obsessed, you see. Then one night I had a dream about horses. I woke up singing "Judy and the dream of horses." I couldn't get the song out of my head. I went out and bought If You're Feeling Sinister. And you know, I have listened to it every day since. Right now I am waiting for my friend Jeremy to make me a copy of Tigermilk. He promised he would. He told me he'd have it for me in a week (this was two weeks ago!) Needless to say I am about to die of anticipation. Jeremy told me not to call him every day and bug him about it. So I have faxed him a message that said nothing but "TIGERMILK!!!"; I have sent a messenger with an envelope bearing the note "TIGERMILK NOW!!!" and I have called him, oh, about every other day. you know dear sinisterers perhaps you could give him a call too.. no, just kidding. I'm sure I will eventually get my copy of Tigermilk.

Sinister: Please Help!!
by Huw Jenkins 21 Apr '98

21 Apr '98

I've dug myself into a bit of a hole and I need some help digging myself back out again.. About two weeks ago I had my college graduation ceremony in Durham. Unfortunately when I got there a friend of mine convinced me to drink a lot of beer and miss out on my ceremony. Duh! Now my mother wants to see the photo's of myself in a Cap & Gown and she already sent the money up to me for them as I told her that I'd got it done. And my gran wants to see them as well, what am I going to do!! I would go to a proffesional photographer and get it done here in London but it would cost too much money and I've just paid the rent on my house this week. So if you live in London and you are a photographer or if you have access to a Cap & Gown please e-mail me and let me know as I need it done by Friday ( I also have a bet with a friend, who hates Belle & Sebastian, that I couldn't do it, help me prove him wrong).

Message text written by Rory Mackie >"Makes a new COAT everyday to suit his affairs" which I think is a quite lovely image. Does anyone else out there have a kerrazy story to relate regarding the miss hearing of B&S lyrics and the hilarious slapstick consequences?< "Peter the Boot had a pornographic memory for all that he had hear, and he took all of my sins and he wrote the pocket novel called the states that I am in" For ages I beleived that this song was about pornography.

Oh, and is it ok to play kazoo in the marching band? This is really a wonderful opportunity for me since I never was in any clubs or teams in high school (although, in my last year I was actually vice president of my school's photography club, but since we only ever had one meeting, I don't know if it really counts...)

Somebody wrote:- @I was dissapointed to learn that the first two lines weren't, "I was looking for Mcdonalds I was looking for a sign":- Can I just say that David Kitchen once told me that he used to think that the first two lines of 'Stars of track and field,' were:- "Makes a new COAT everyday to suit his affairs" which I think is a quite lovely image. Does anyone else out there have a kerrazy story to relate regarding the miss hearing of B&S lyrics and the hilarious slapstick consequences? A fox in some snow to the most amusing mix-up. (I spent a good two years believing that 'Lipgloss' went 'Laughing at badgers and putting up with all of his friends' which is more than a little Murdoch-esque now I come to think of it.) Most amusing visual pun of the week:- Tim from Orlando standing next to a big sign reading 'How to make it in the music business' at the launch of the Sian Pattenden book of the some name. Well it made me laugh till my tequila came up through my nose. Is the Duke really from Harringay? Cos that's where I live. Right next to Johnny English Fruit&Veg whose shopsign reads 'potatos and melons wholesale diect to the public', Snuff fans(that's you Begbie). Does this mean I owe him land duties or anything?

Sinister: out, but not proud
by mctag＠mcmail.com 21 Apr '98

21 Apr '98

You lot, Following Trousers cruel outing of Keith the Flower Picker, I think it's time to tell all about the true nature of Little Stevie Trews himself, would-be poet and sensitive artist, 1 The bookshelves of Stephen's house, far from being lined with the works of e.e. cummings, are packed with Sven Hassell and Tom Sharpe novels, and back issues of "Loaded". 2 He lights his own farts, and emerges from the toilet saying "Fucking 'ell, that was a ring-stinger, no-one smoke in there for a week". 3 His walls are covered with pictures of his dream women - Pamela Anderson and Jo Guest. His pride and joy, however, is that timeless picture of a tennis player scratching her bum. "It's well funny, and sexy as fuck", says Trews, with a lascivious look on his face. 4 Trousers wears y-fronts with "Gurl bait" written above a picture of a worm. He changes them once a month whether he needs to or not. 5 While many of you have an image of Trews ideal evening being maybe a Bergman retrospective at the NFT, or perhaps a glass of chablis at his favourite bistro, he is usually to be found at his favourite boozer "Brahms and Liszt", singing along to the jukebox playing "Hi Ho Silver Lining" with his mates Baz and Kev, before settling down, putting his hand down the front of his "trackie" bottoms, scratching his balls, turning to the girl next to him and saying "You might be ugly, but you've got fucking great tits, love. Fancy it?" When his amourous advances are (inevitably) spurned, he consoles himself by shouting "Come on my son, stick it in the back of the net" at the football on TV. 6 Trousers favourite film is Porky's. His favourite foreign film is "Betty Blue". "It's about this bird who can't speak a word of English, but she gets her kit off", he explains. Next week: Genevieve is revealed as Hank, a 45 year old Wall Street Banker, the Duke shares his body-building tips, we visit Sister Susannah at her private chapel at St Mary the Immaculate's Convent, hear of JJ's tireless work for charity, Stuart Murdoch admits that Milli Vanilli's production team wrote and performed all their songs, and I tell you all about my week in Butlins.

> I'm a photographer, and I also play the flute. > Gee, I do both those things too. Well, I do the photography as part of the whole ART package, and will do for the next 3 years at uni. How many other people play orchestral instruments? We could have mass renditions of the instrumental and middle eight bits from *all the hits*: just imagine the majestic sound of many flautists playing that tricky Emajor solo from We Rule The School.
