Sinister: Coupland Price Alert
by Ruth McCurry 11 Mar '98

11 Mar '98

Sorry to be a stickler 'n'all, but Girlfriend in a Coma will retail at 12.99. I got it wrong and the stupid machine jumbled it up anyway. Another fantastic video, by the way, is Hanson's Weird dir. Gus van Sant. It's almost as good as the song. Love DAVID ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Stuff and nonsense

Claire Timmins wrote: If a picnic in Scotland is being organized then I will be there. If it is in the latter half of May only. Who's organizing it? Is anyone currently organising a Scottish picnic? If not who wants to? I'm willing to help out. Also, There has been talk recently, of older people beggining to take a shine to B&S and rececently when I last visited home my dad overheard b&s playing, liked it, and insisted I make a tape of the 3 eps and sinister for him to play in his car. The following week while listening to it he crashed his car, he was ok and it wasn't all a disaster infact something good came of it. My dad is a bit of a minger and never cleans his car, inside or out, much to the annoyance of my mother. But when the car came back from the garage it was all shiny and clean and smelled like new, and my mum was very, very happy, all thanks to belle and sebastian. the end. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

And talking, well kind of, about B&S members extra-curricular acivity, Mick Cook played with The Karelia when I saw them play a couple of weeks ago. He played trumpet on one song, and guitar on the rest, but i got the idea he only played guitar so much because the singer couldn't- becuase he had cut his finger. Does anyone know anthing more about this?, that is Mick playing with The Karelia, not the singer's cut finger. And Keith, count me in for an Edinburgh picnic. I think many of my friends can be persuaded to attend. When I told them about the London picnic they said they wanted to go. Yet they wouldn't go to the Manchester gigs with me. I don't know. Mick's brother plays drums with the Karelia, so I guess it's just a part-time helping out thing. The location of the picnic is undecided as of yet, so if everyone who's interested wants to send me a mail with the subject of of either "GLASGOW" or "EDINBURGH" we'll do it by votes. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Mudskipper

Turns out that Mudskipper have a web site. It's at http://www.uce5.u-net.com/mudskipper.htm You can also get the CDs there for 50p cheaper than they're selling them to me!!!! And they've got cassettes which they didn't tell me about. Still, the music's so good I'll forgive them for any discrepancies! And there's still some CDs left if anyone wants one - either mail me or do it from their site. Mark ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Video as Art
by Ruth McCurry 11 Mar '98

11 Mar '98

Saw some awesome videos yesterday. First up was Cecil. Has anyone seen this? I don't remember a damn thing about the song, I was staring so hard at the gruesome nature of the events unfolding before my eyes. It's basically about this guy who goes around vomiting electronic goods like mobile phones, camcorders, gameboys, etc. The effects are pretty damn cool. The first video I've ever seen that made me shout and scream. Then tuned into Alternative Nation after Larry Sanders finished, and saw the Arab Strap video (nice try but not much cop), and the Beta Band video which is absolutely amazing. It's people in silly costumes going up a mountain having been filmed coming down it backwards in reverse. Complicated, I know. The effect is that you piss yourself laughing. Top marks. Bought the Hopkirk and Lee CD that was mentioned on the list about a week ago. Well, they're not the new B&S, but it's a beautiful record nevertheless. Hugely recommended. Who are they? Where do they come from? Does anyone know anything about Michael Head and/or The Strands? I don't want to rush out and buy it if it's some Blue Nile crap. Someone asked about the UK release of Girlfriend in a Coma by Coupland. As far as I know, it should be in the shops in two to three weeks. Priced attractively at £9.99. Is anyone going to see Guy Chadwick on Friday at the Garage? Let me know. How come She's Losing It seems to be the most popular B&S song? It's cute, sure, but it's not really what they do best, is it? Give me Judy or Fakers any day. That's enough now. Lots of love Camper Van Oaten (honest) Do I get points for that name? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: teachers and the music that they adore
by JOSEPH FOSTER 11 Mar '98

11 Mar '98

There is a head of year (year 6 I think) at my old secondary school, who has the pleasure of teaching my brother Dj and all his friends. She gave an assemble about popular music, and to gain herself much needed 'streed cred', with the 'kids', admitted that she was pretty fasionable because she quite liked Dire Straights. And she has a head like a microphone. And she smells. And she put me in bottom set for french. My brother has bin known to tap her on the head and say testing.......testing.....1, 2, 3. Honestly. Tut tut. See y'all. Harry Currie. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Cheekbones
by Essexdog5 10 Mar '98

10 Mar '98

Dearest listees, On the eve of non-smoking day, let it be a warning to you all that I quit the evil tar/nicotine combo but 8 weeks ago, and on meeting one of my bestest friends today (in the not-too-good Damien Hurst hang-out Pharmacy, which wasn't any 'cop' since you asked. Just a little lifestyle tip there) she commented that my face had got "puffy" and my cheekbones (for which I had previously been famed throughout the far corners of my kitchen) had "disappeared". The cow. Anyways-oop, I'm writing to ask if anyone knows when the Coupland book Girlfriend In A Coma is released in the UK. With love, Stephen, who has been having scary dreams about interviewing various former Britpop bods of late. Eeek! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
