Sinister: mundane B&S content
by Johnston, John CT 20 Nov '97

20 Nov '97

I was in HMV in the Trocadero (Rockadero!) Center in London. IFYFS was proudly on display at one of the listening posts. I'd love to say that a crowd of ne'er-do-well pop kids was fighting to get at it. That was not the case. However I like to think that some inquiring mind was attracted and had a listen and was thrilled by what they found. Alternateen - great name. Please provide a short description of what's involved. My fave. socio-fashion groupy name is Trustafarian. Namely the spoilt children of well to do English families who can pretend to live an ethnic/spiritual lifestyle and sample hard drugs at source due to their prodigious income thanks to Daddy's trust fund. Good place to find them always used to be the smoking section of the Edinburgh University Library cafeteria. hot love john xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: [Fwd: Sinister: Benefit Gig]

> Hi all, > On the 2nd December there is a benefit gig (Aids awareness I think) > at the Thirteenth Note in Glasgow. The line up is Pastels, BMX Bandits > and Eugenius - tickets on sale soon. > > Anyway ... the new rumour is that B&S will also be playing on the night. > Anyone confirm this? It's gonna be an amazing night! Yep, I can confirm that Belle and Sebastian, ARE playing this gig, but it is more likely to be only 3-4 members on the night, and they're doing covers and not B&S songs. Cheers, Katrina. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: misheard lyrics
by Sven Fuchs 20 Nov '97

Yeah, I always thought it was "My sellotape days are over" instead of "My celibate days are over" in "My Wandering Days Are Over".

Sinister: Some B&S content, then I got distracted and started talking about ice-cream.
by mctag＠mcmail.com 20 Nov '97

20 Nov '97

Hello kids, I sent a mail asking about B&S being on 'Later', in a couple of weeks. Except I didn't actually mention them by name. And no-one replied. I hope no-one really thought I meant Deacon Blue, it was a joke (I know jokes are supposed to be funny, but...). Anyway, does anyone know anything about this? Maybe Katrina knows. It may well prove to be total lies, but 'I heard it through the grapevine'. Errr, can't think of anything else. It's raining. I'm tired. No girl depressions to share with complete strangers. No lyrics to ask about. Still haven't got 'Tigermilk'. Nicholas in Athens just happens to know a very good friend of mine who lives out there - 'spooky coincidence'. Anyone got any good 'sinister' coincidences? Any good jokes? Read any good books? It's been said that Carson McCullers' 'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter' is the ultimate B&S book, so up yours Jack Kerouac (apart from 'Maggie Cassidy' which rules). Seen any good films? 'Will it snow for Christmas?' is totally loveable. The wonderful 'Time of the Gypsies' was on TV a couple of weeks ago and I intend to sit down and watch that again with a big tub of strawberry cheesecake Haagen Dazs (or however you spell it, (or however you spell it. Do they still make 'cookie dough dynamo?'. I'd heard they stopped making it, which is an outrage because that was my favourite and quite a lot of other peoples's too...mmmmm....cookie dough) and lose myself in it all over again this weekend, cos it's last time I'll be free at the weekend until 1998. Such a dizzy social whirl...but right now I'm bored. Oh sod it. Better do some work. Tag ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Mancunian tickets
by Paul Forsyth 20 Nov '97

20 Nov '97

Hiya, Thanks you David & Katrina for the Manchester mailout. I was due to head out the door but left it for a bit while I read it over a bit more breakfast! I was wondering if the tickets for the Christmas concerts had a 'time available from' on them, as I've just tried the Piccadilly ticket office and also Stargreen in London. Piccadilly said to phone back this afternoon to find if they are carrying the tickets but Stargreen hadn't heard of the gigs. Any ideas?

Re: Sinister: Re: On the radio
by Keith Watson 20 Nov '97

I've always assumed that "Songs for Children" is a song about when they were on the evening show on Radio 1 being interviewed by Mark Lamarr in Sep 96, they were basically having a laugh, taking the piss out of Mark Lamarr, Chris talking about his essay on Foucault and Stuart remarking "F**Koff" sounding similar and then roaring with laughter as Mark Lamarr fails to count correctly twice the number of words in the title of Judy and the dream of Horses. This was the first radio session they did, so it kind of matches up with the words in the song. Keith. Gone a bit bloody quiet of late hasn't it? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Too true! This b/f confusion seems to be the cause of most B&S lyrical problems - I always thought it was "you were the honey bun in town", which is quite sweet I suppose. And I was convinced it was Bella who was ill, which sort of alters the whole context of the song really. smundy97 (still directing traffic on the disco floor) In a message dated 19/11/97 10:54:52 am, Nick_Dastoor.BSHO(a)NOTES.compuserve.com wrote: >On their theme tune Stuart Murdoch seems to >sing his F's like B's.

Sinister: cover me badd
by Cairns 20 Nov '97

20 Nov '97

A bit out of date, but... I know of two bands who do B&S covers. The first is Polar Bear, who are now called something else, and who did loads in their soundcheck at the Intercity Crawl. The second is Fleck, Wigan's IndieRock superstars-in-waiting, who do a splendid version of "Get me away from Here I'm dying" .
