Dear Sinisters, as the world turns...my poor Gargoyle (kitty) she is going crazy..Sausage is beating her up..... I have nothing new to say,but I'm home,and noone is home and this comforts me... >RADIOHEAD PERSON: "i love them. they're the best thing since water" > >RADIOHEAD HATER: "they suck. they're pretentious" > >RADIOHEAD PERSON: "you know...maybe you're right. i'm a loser for >listening to them." > >this ain't gonna happen. if you really think radiohead suck as much as >they do (and they do), then don't listen to them. You know when I started listening to a new wave of music,Thom Yorke was my first love! I wanted to be his 'sun and moon and stars' but now I'm afraid...if I tried to talk with him he'd probably tell me they're after me (Who's they,I'd ask) or that i'm a paranoid sheep or something...speaking of Thom...since staying home today I watched television (we have about 4 english channels and the same french one 3 times) and all there was on was The Price Is Right and Rosie O'Donnel...I thought I stepped into Thom's nightmare world for a second....Rosie sung Chumbawamba... ('my weigth goes down,but it goes up again') i wasn't laughing... >Date: Mon, 2 Feb 1998 23:19:45 +0100 (MET) >From: Elisabeth Zachariassen <elzachar(a)online.no> >Subject: Sinister: I know what I want to do this summer >Katrina, you really made me long for the summer with your descriptions! >At the moment there are so much snow outside, that i can't even look out of >the window.(that's Norway for you)I actually live on the fourth floor, but >the windows are sort of eh..not straight.

Oh..Happy Groundhog's Day to all of you...(so I'm a day late) he did see his shadow...so it's 6 more weeks of winter here....(6..they say..phhhttt..it was freezing in may last year) Except I don't get to move to London in spring. :( >Date: Mon, 02 Feb 1998 15:14:23 PST >From: "David Murrow" <dfactor(a)hotmail.com> >Subject: Sinister: Wetting my pants in anticipation > >Blimey!

I have got through two packets of Swan vestas so far, can anyone get me some more? 2) Then I'm going to go from Lands End to John O'Groats doing forward rolls like that Indian bloke once did, except instead of saying funny mantras I'll be chanting 'we were sitting on the sofa the wrong way round' over and over again. 3) Lastly I'll be growing my fingernails until they reach the exact width of Chris's flares and then presenting them to him in a glass case. Thats going to be AFTER I've done the forward roll bit though, as the two might not be compatible. There. Susannah. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Doh. I will buy more next week when thank fook I am back at college. There seem to be two thkgs whic contrast for most people, fantasy (Pop) and reality (having to leave your bad every day). Do some people manage to transcend that? Why am I asking you? Why is babar the elephnt called that instead of being called John Travolta? I feel like talking but as I am typing instead its not working out too well, if anyone would like to ring me and discuss sweet nowt, tuff cos you aint got me number :( Well, perhaps I don't know what I mean in fact no I don't.

Someone, anyone please! And everyone on list ses to be getting married. Well, aint that nice! looks like I'm being the old maid down the road then *sniff* but I don't care cos I will say I don't.

Sinister: RetroSinister
by Simon Collins 03 Feb '98

03 Feb '98

This whole BelleandSebastian being a sixties sounding band. They always get labelled, even on this list as a retro band, but this misses the point. The whole 'what type of film would suit them' thing; well lots of flares and lava lamps and the whole groovey caboodle misses the point. They convey a feeling, an emotion first, and their sound comes second. They are so much better at this than so many other bands - It's just that they are actually so fresh to listen to, so up to the minute because of the feeling the songs convey. So they could in fact do the soundtrack to any modern film, if it was suitable, not necessarily the next Austin Powers. For instance, 'Get me Away from here I'm dying' could be used in Reservoir Dogs, and work, because First off people would recognise it as suiting the scene, and second as sounding perhaps a bit sixties. I've failed to articulate myself here, and perhaps shot myself in the foot with the choice of Reservoir Dogs ( perhaps something like Nil by mouth or Leaving Las Vegas would've been better ) But I hope someone out there gets what I'm saying. Simon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Perhaps this problem would be solved if we had two mailing lists. One strictly for any Belle & Sebastian news, reviews, rumours etc and the other to be used for the other stuff we seem to chat about here. Then each of us can choose to subscribe only to the first list or to both. People who want to keep up with whats happening in B&S world, but don't like wading through the hundreds of other emails will just want to subscribe to the first. The rest of us can be free to write what we want on the other. What does everybody else think? It's only a suggestion. Please, don't get mad at me if you don't like the idea.

End of fanzine. End of enthusiasm. >I do like Sonic Boom though. Very entertaining fellow, should be on all the >chat shows. There was a guy who me and some friends once almost went to see years ago, as there were posters around Edinburgh for "Mr.Boom's Band", which one of my mates pointed out could be a secret gig by the Spacemen, it's really just as well we didn't 'cause I saw a poster for the guy last week in the chippy and it turns out he's an all-singing all-dancing one man band clown who does kids parties and stuff, oh well, so much for secret Spacemen gigs in Edinburgh. Strangely enough this tied in with the fact that after a very long time, I finally managed to procure a copy of "Playing with Fire" on CD this weekend... Which was nice.

Sinister: A Beautiful Christmas Present
by Dawn 03 Feb '98

03 Feb '98

While I'm on a roll, I just want to share one of my lovely Christmas presents from my boyfriend (I know Christmas was ages ago, but it's been the holidays). The sweetie coloured copied the sleeves from "If you're feeling..." and the 12"'s, mounted them on a white background, and clipped see-through glassy stuff on top, like a posh poster! It's probably the nicest thing that anyone has ever given me... (Chorus of aaahs, please!) Dawn x ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
