Sinister: Benefit Gig
by Mike Madsen 18 Nov '97

18 Nov '97

Hi all, I'm new to the list and so you possibly know this already... ...hot from the teenage fanclub mailing list ... 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! byebye Mikey _______________________________________________________________________ Michael Madsen (Production & Design Engineer) Emergency One (UK) Limited * Fire Fighting Appliance Manufacturers WEB-SITE: http://www.sol.co.uk/e/emergencyone/ - UNDER CONSTRUCTION! _______________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: On the radio
by Ricky HAGGETT 18 Nov '97

18 Nov '97

>3. Right at the end of 3, 6, 9..., "Belle and Sebastian / on the >radio / playing songs for children". I can't quite make out the next >line, but it sounds a bit like "B&S / on the radio / playing songs >for lunatics"???!!, which, if true, would be quite hilarious!! For ages I thought it was: "Belle and Sebastian / on the radio / They insulted children / on the radio" It kinda sucks when you find out that the real lyrics aren't quite as good as what you thought they were. Oh well. Ricky ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Some B&S content, no drunken ramblings this time
by mctag＠mcmail.com 17 Nov '97

Hello trees, hello flowers, Never, ever, write messages to the list when you're drunk. What was that piece of crap I wrote on Saturday evening? Oh God.... Anyhoo, does anyone know anything about a certain Glaswegian band of travelling minstrels that we know and love (yeah, right, its Deacon Blue) appearing on 'Later' in a couple of weeks? Just something I heard. Saw the Pastels on Saturday night. 'They are the kings' as Stuart M said. And so did we over and over again. Alkyhol. Just say no...But they are. Really. The Kings.

Sinister: Bloke depression

Dear person, I had serious bloke depression and now I'm listening to Belle and Sebastian, drinking port, feeling full of cheap doughnuts and I'm okay. That's how I use music. For me, it's not about being a complete muso, it's about tuning in. Much love C X ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Bedhead/B&S
by gram 17 Nov '97

17 Nov '97

>the first few seconds of "You Made Me > Forget my Dreams," when someone sneezes and apologizes, and then Stuart M > (I'm assuming) sort of chuckles/sighs before he begins singing the song. This part is awesome. and it makes me even happier cuz I already own the BEDHEAD 4 songs EP on the Bedhead EP, before the first song starts, you can hear someone talking and then Matt the singer chuckles and laughs in almost the same way as B&S. its really neat, cuz I know the bands proly have no idea and they happen to be my 2 favorite bands... cheers, g r a m ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: la la la...
by andrew dean 17 Nov '97

17 Nov '97

um, my weekly post to sinister... video was shown on the chart show on saturday. it always used to be repeated later in the week but it was shown late on saturday night as well so i think you've missed it if you haven't seen it. check the radio times though. isobel looks suitably angelic in it... trembling blue stars single has been delayed (again). release date now 1st december, the same day as the teletubbies single. susannah, steven, i think this could be the start of something *beautiful*. keep us informed... <knowing smile...> cool beans to dave and katrina for giving us first dibs on the tickets. the cheque's in the post... the new mogwai lp is rather good, spent most of today listening to it. kinda pretty in parts, pretty with an underlying sense of menace which occasionally rears its head. and aiden sings on it too, which was nice. both mogwai and arab strap remix the david holmes single. bought the simon and garfunkel box on saturday. been meaning to buy the greatest hits for a while now and got paid on friday so... really nice sunday afternoon music. really doesn't go as a soundtrack to goldeneye on the n64 though (which is what i was doing on sunday afternoon). oh, laughed like a drain at the fast show's hungarian cartoon piss-take on friday. and the thing on teletext on ch4 this morning, page 482 or something had 'oh sebastian, went too far again...' and '...crashed his car in the rain' running along the bottom of it. the other sub-pages had lines from the byrds and the beatles. andy i'm an alien, i'm an alien... __________________________________________________________________ Sent by Yahoo!

Sinister: little hello
by blink＠inexpress.net 17 Nov '97

17 Nov '97

Hello dear Sinister People, I'm new to this list and I suppose I should say something about myself? I've just turned 15,and I live in Quebec... I sort of stumbled into Belle and Sebastian,a while ago I remember seeing the cover of 'Dog On Wheels' in a magazine,and for some odd reason I got into my head that the boy on teh cover was Belle and the puppet dog was Sebastian,but he was really a solo artist/Christain rock.I don't know how I got that! My friend went on and on about how good they,and I wanted to get that album..but I forgot about it,untill I saw it 'If You're Feeling Sinister' at Spinables,when I went up to buy it,the most beautiful boy with blue eyes (they just magnetize you!) told me how good they were,so I fell in love with the boy over Belle and Sebastian so this connection remains. Especially the 'you can bet it is a bitch,kid' line,it just reminds me of the moment..most likely it is a bitch we are distant from each other...anyways,I went back there and magically,Dog On Wheels was there,another guy sold it to me..and he loves them too.And he rustled beneath his counter for a minute and produced 3..6..9 Seconds of Light,which I'd never seen before and all I swa was this beautiful objet and it was sort of gleaming silvery grey..and I was so excited to buy it,untill I realized it was HIS copy..but he said he's put it on order,not more than 2 or 3 days,I returned and again..Belle and Sebastian...3..6..9..Seconds of Light was there! I was only disappointed that the last two I'd bought had not been from my beautiful boy..but returning later that night,I took one step into the store and this guy grabbed me by my arm holding Lazy Line Painter Jane...HE (yet another guy) love Belleand Sebastian also,and he keep calling out 'You want this!You want!' when (oh lovely!) my beautiful boy sort of magically floated beside him '....It's REALLY good...' SOLD! So here I am...almost complete,except for this they call the Tigermilk,not good for me I think but treasure for you who have... I only I hadn't loved Belle and Sebastian so quick or else I might nothave boughtall in such haste and I could've savoured more moments.....Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying is one of my favourite songs from Sinister...I feel as if I share a lot of common sentiments with Belle and Sebastian..I regrette I'm not familiare with the band very well,they never seem to list who they are?Anyway,I so happy I hear this band!Past while..not too much music has got me very interested,but arrangements,especially the trumpet solos! And the writings on back...very different from other bands... I regrette,there not many bands I have 'claim to fame' with,not many bands come close to where I live,except one day,I was shopping and at A&W I meet up with Brett,Neil and Mat from Suede...I got to hang out with them later,I was so excited! I'd never met anyone famous before let alone someone famous of value to me,trying to act calm was hard! Unfortunately..I couldn't go see the show,19+ (Accursed Barrymores!) but I also met with The Longpigs,whom I admire their music very much.....very friendly,Crispin and Simon are,kept kissing me ,but I am proud to say they were very nice people,not intimidating nor pretentious I sometimes think bands will be very mean? They're in their own world that noone else understands...(Thom Yorke...but I feel so much like him sometimes!) And on Spiritualized! Ladies and Gentlemen..beautiful album especially the title track,it's very hushed vocals in rounds with light little bells in background,then they shake you up a bit with more rockier...Electricity..but then,such sadness..Broken Heart...one of the best sad songs...Pure Phase (earlier album) is quite good too.... forgive me dear people,I'm tired and this is probably stupide post for a first one.. Oh ,I've write too long! Love and Poison, Genevieve :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Er, Belle & Sebastian...
by Chris Worth 17 Nov '97

17 Nov '97

The start of a another working week... Anyway, favourite B&S moments... 1. Getting scared when Monica Queen first starts singing on Lazy Line..., but then realising that it actually sounds really good. 2. Reading the sleeve notes to ...Sinister on the back cover, thanking people in order of rudeness, starting with the most foul-mouthed!! 3. Right at the end of 3, 6, 9..., "Belle and Sebastian / on the radio / playing songs for children". I can't quite make out the next line, but it sounds a bit like "B&S / on the radio / playing songs for lunatics"???!!, which, if true, would be quite hilarious!! 4. The last line of Century of Elvis... "I used to think my dad was Elvis, but I haven't told him yet; I haven't told my dad either...". Cue guffaw. 5. That the gigs are in Manchester! Hurrah!! I must go and visit the B&S web pages; I haven't been there for quite a long time. Well, not since last week... Chris. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: Elvis/Fakers
by Smundy97＠aol.com 17 Nov '97

17 Nov '97

Various people at various times have mentioned Century of Fakers being a rehash of Century of Elvis (fair enough, one of these was Nick Hornby, and what would he know!!!), and I don't want to sound like a trainspotter, but ... ... has anyone else noticed that if you listen VERY VERY carefully to Elvis, you can hear the words to Fakers being sung after the intro and before the spoken word bit begins - as if the mics on the instruments are picking up some of the vocals, despite the fact that they've been dubbed out -- if you see what I mean. Is that conclusive evidence that Elvis is a rehash of Fakers, and not the other way round? Also, why would Century of Elvis be called Century of Elvis if not for the fact that is is a different version of Century of Fakers. Now, going off-topic (BURN ME!! HANG ME!! STONE ME!!) - Galaxie 500's On Fire has other lyrical gems, as well as the one about "shoes talking to me" - but I can't remember any at the moment - will listen to it later and report back .... Re: the heated debate about sarah records earlier on, why doesn't someone set up a mailing list specifically for this (er, don't look at me, I've just about worked out how to send e-mail) and what's with Shinkansen - the only thing I've seen on the label is the marvellous Trembling Blue Stars LP - anyone know? - mind you, half of you lot probably work for them/have slept with them/ had a punch-up with them on a barge in Bristol ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
