And the world of advertising falls away and I am looking out my window and daydreaming, thinking, what? Today will be someplace in France under willow trees I think.... Of course, then one is left with all that work still to do... but a vacation in the middle of the day is not a bad thing. On other threads: ALWAYS carry extra money in your pocket to give to those who need it when they ask. Fucking Smashing Pumpkins: saw them last year and had to listen to Billy (I'm-so-important) Corgan go on a 20 minute tirade about how two homeless people asked him for money and how dare they when he works so hard and has such a sad and lonely life for having given so much of himself to music and fame. Poor poor Billy. He ended by exhorting the audience to go downtown, find the two homeless people and "kick their fucking asses." eeek. I nearly jumped on stage and kicked his. Ass. Arse. Smug bastard. Sorry, but I just get so incensed! Don't know why I went to see them anyway -- ah, yes -- to protect my 64 year old mother who was down in front... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: How to Endure Mundane Tasks.
by Huw Jenkins 10 Feb '98

10 Feb '98

Ichy da all, This is my first entry for the sinister page and I thought I'd let you know how I was inspired to Join...... I first heard of B & S through a friend of mine who told that they were the greatest band thing since Tom Jones. I usually find my friends musical opinions to carry much credit but I never really found the time to lilsten to a tape of thiers which he had leant me (obviously this tape was not a copy -I'm far to afriad of going to jail). Time passed and I still hadn't listened to it until one day when it came to be my turn to do the washing up in the house, which I despise doing, I came across the B&S tape which he had leant to me. So I wacked the tape on and got stuck in. From this point on I didn't notice the fetid stench of a 3 day matured curry, nor the bits of moldy food clinging to my skin, instead I sailed away on the beatifull melodies that Belle & Sebastian sent to me. I was alieviated from my suffering and I never wanted to return. I never wanted those dishes to get clean, I just wanted to stay by my sink and daydream forever. This effect also takes hold of me when I'm at work, I can just think of a Belle & Sebastian song in my mind and just drift away..................... Until next time, Huw

Tee hee. I'll come clean. I only subscribe to this list in order to read all the inadvertently posted private correspondence. Where else a nosy parker get such easy kicks outside of a telephone exchange? I don't care at all about this Belle & Sebastian pair you all go on about. hmmm...reminds me....hmmm...checks archive...... I laughed longer, louder and put your laughter to shame when a long time ago Charlotte posted this as her response to the mini-autobiography thread: >I am 48 years old. I studied limb management and I used to be a ballerina but now I'm a faith healer. I spend my leisure >time sketching people's necks in public parks. I married a stonemason from Cumberland and now I have five sets of twins. I >have fourteen copies of Tigermilk. I've never listened to them. Is this the Gary Glitter list? Where is Charlotte these days? She was an asset to the list. Wasn't it her who, bored with a rut the list had got into, posted her top Belle & Sebastian Moments to remind us all why we are here? And everyone joined in with their own ones (like, the way Stuart Murdoch's voice cracks on the line "She was not impressed" in 'The State I Am In') and it made me all glowy. Perhaps we could do this again. It would also be a good way of drawing in the newer listees. Tell us why Belle & Sebastian are best. And stick on a mini-autobiography if you like, fictional or otherwise. This isn't strictly a Belle & Sebastian moment; it's a Stuart David/Chris Geddes moment. But it made my heart break all the same. So nerrr. It's from the Ink Polaroids book: "Here's Chris outside the studio, on the night we finished the first album. It's quite dark, but you can still see the marks on his face the tears have left from when he was crying inside. I asked him why he'd been crying and he just said, 'Because I've never done anything proper before. But I don't know if that means my life's been really shit up to this point, or if this was just really good.'" Nick ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Keith referred to: > "Independent as fuck" r hip hop trion Company Flows slogan men den > borde anvndas av Belle and Sebastian so Jospeh said: >Ummmm, is this nothing at all to do with quality rap artistes Company >Flo? Has this been mentioned already? Have I picked up the wrong end >of the hip-hop stick? Regardless, they're ace. Wish they'd do a B&S >collaboration, kinda like Puff Daddy's 'All about the Benjamins'. Dunno mate, for all I know it's about Aunt Flo from Bod, it was Tag posted it, taken from a Swedish magazine that his friend told him about.

Sinister: gigs in Dubin??
by Claire Timmins 10 Feb '98

10 Feb '98

It was about half past five and I was absolutely steaming, I spied the most gorgeous guy ever. I went over to ask him for a ciggart..fag, he gave me one and after about ten minutes we were kissing.. Oh he is just so lovely, but he hasn't phoned..... Anyway I was in the best music shop in Dublin yesterday, caled ROAD RECORDS. They had al the records I wanted. Loads of Glaswegian stuff. The woman I spoke to was very into the scene. They even had the record by el hombre trajedo, my mate's band. How cool. Anyway we got around to chatting about B&S and she said sh had been in touch with Jeepster and she seemed to think that the band were playing over here in May. Is this true?? Apologies for letters missing but my computer is having problems with e and l. See ya, Claire.*** Claire Timmins ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: How I learnt to love Julio Iglesias in Transylvania

"Independent as fuck" r hip hop trion Company Flows slogan men den borde anvndas av Belle and Sebastian, Glasgows skyggaste sjumannaorkester. De stller aldrig upp p bild och bannlyser A&R mn frn sina konserter. "If you're feeling sinister" fylls av bls, strker, vnliga melodier och underfundiga texter. Ljudet av det Skottland ekar fortfarande. Independent as FUCK say the hip hop loving flow experts about bored people "Belle and Sebastian". Glasgow skyscrapers - watch out. An A+R man said to me at their concert. "If you're feeling sinister" feels your balls! Vaguely, their melodies have the texture of underwear. Luddites from Scotland are fantastic. Well Tag, you asked me if I understood it... Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: one big happy reply
by bradford 10 Feb '98

10 Feb '98

i've got a couple things to say. first of all.....and this isn't a reply, this is something brand spanking new......i fucking hate the smashing pumpkins and everything they stand for. but..... today i purchased james iha's new solo album and it is truly a work of art. acoustic. drums. violins. none of that rat in a cage bullshit. so anyone who liked that song "blue" that was a b-side to some song the pumpkins did three years back, should go and buy james iha's solo album. gauranteed billy free. oh, it's called...well, i forget. it's the only one though. now. on to the replies which are sure to anger certain people. i'm gonna pull a "northy" and be the voice of opposition. the red house painters album "songs for a blue guitar" is wonderful and everyone should buy it. everything else, however, is one big pile of crap. whiny vocals. sparse music. not sparse and good like smog, but sparse and boring. oh and on the shinkansen web site they smog is the worst band in existence. don't believe what you read. anyway, to make myself clear...stay away from red house painters except the lovely and wonderful "songs for a blue guitar". please don't write me all you rhp fans. just a different opinion. and for whoever mentioned the "nico icon" documentary.....i saw it two night ago and it was crap. nico is crap. the songs would have done much better with ol' lou at the helms. pissing people off at an enormous and scary rate, brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
