Hi there,
It's been a while since I posted, and this definitely isn't going to be a
great one, so be warned!!
There's been a few posts about the jubilee celebrations. Although I actually
quite "like" Lizzie, I haven't really taken any notice of the televisual
feast for the past few days, apart from when Buckingham Palace caught fire.
That seemed a bit co-incidental to me, not that I'm suggesting anything...
I didn't see any of the live music, I had no desire to watch the likes of
Atomic Kitten, Gareth Gates or Ozzy Osbourne. His latest hit is awful, I am
not a fan of rock music, so a heavy track would wind me up anyway, but the
"Godfather of Rock's" return sounds more suited to the likes of Daniel
O'Donnell to me, the lyrics anyway. Slow, mushy and extremely dull. No
disrespect to any fans of Dreamer out there.
Tuesday 4th June 2002, 14.08, one of the saddest things I've heard in a
while appeared in my in-box. Isobel leaving, such a shame. I wish her well
though, in fact I noticed a new release album in a few weeks for her solo
project on Dot-music. I assume this will be the Gentle Waves, unless she is
actually "going solo" in the true sense of the word. Both the previous
albums feature frequently on my "playlist" so I will be picking this up,
when it arrives... Yeah right, that reminds me, it's about time I played
Sister Woman again.
The news of Isobel's departure comes only weeks after another of my
favourite bands future looks a little grim. I hope, if I can actually say
this, that it isn't a "wind up" or I'll be left with egg over my face. Ugh!!
get it off me!
"Tim Gane and Laetitia Sadier of STEREOLAB (!!!!) have announced that they
are to split."
Thought's of ABBA, and Sonny & Cher minimal though it is, spring to mind. If
there are any fans of Stereolab on this list firstly "hi!" and secondly you
will be able to appreciate what a hole there would be if this group were to
split altogether.
My main focus of attention recently has been on the World Cup, which is odd
because I'm not an avid footie fan. This is mainly because I am so
clumbersome and could not play a game to save my life! After England's
pretty dire second half, it was great to see Brazil yesterday, and one of my
favourite matches so far had to be Japan & Belgium earlier today. It was
good to see both host countries fairing well. I look forward with
anticipation to Friday, and hope that good fortune is on our side...for
once!
Went to see Le Tigre at the Social in Nottingham last week, pretty good
band. The album is a real grower, Feminist Sweepstakes. I'm told by a mate
that on recent tours they actually made the male fans stand at the back.
Forget Spice Girls, I'd say that's real Girl Power, but that's so 1996
anyway. The next band to consider seeing live are the Moldy Peaches, but
Who's Got the Crack? Unfortunately for Matilda (assuming that she'd want to
spend an evening with me!!) they're playing the Boat Club in Nottingham on
June 14th, it's a bit too far for me to travel to Goteborg!! Anyway I've
just realised that's tonight!! Duh, I need to wake up and smell the
coffee!!
I'd better wrap this up before I get any more complaints. I sense that look
of sheer torture that you've endured while reading this twaddle. I'm sorry,
but quality posts just won't come from my direction!
Cheerio!
Jamie :-)
* P.S. Anyone know anything about Dot Allison please mail me off list. You
could also offer guidance on creating better posts, if you feel so
inclined!! Cheers.

>performance be regarded as faultless? >
Well okay Brians performance wasn't 'perfect' by any standards, the heart
and emotion he poured into his performance far outranked anybody else on
this bill. Obviously you are in need of a soul. It could have been worse it
could have been mike love standing there.I just felt a lot of empathy and
admiration that he had the guts to perform. And ray davies was ropey as fuck
last night. I'm sick of him wearing that union jack jacket, and if i hear
lola one more time I will fucking scream. (And I love the kinks! But there
hasn't been an essentail kinks album since 'Muswell Hillbillies'.)
But
>how come Wilson got to come on and stagger through four pieces of well-worn
>Americana and Ray Davies gave one extremely respectable rendition of Lola,
>and
>disappeared?
I mean he is Brian Wilson for fucks sake DUH!!!! TLK ABOUT MISSING THE BIG
PICTURE
Sit down with a copy of 'Pet Sounds', 'Smile' (Bootleg) , 'Surf's Up', hell
even 'Sunflower' or 'The Beach Boys Love You'. That will tell you all you
need to know.(Brian is an amateur Human being but a GENIUS MUSICIAN) As for
Macca he gave me the dry fucken boak, he was as exciting as a wet weekend in
saltcoats.
Apart from that I totally agree with ya about will young and his ilk. As for
the Queen tribute, shite on a stick. When was Rick Witter employed for that
musical.
enough of such frivolity
Brian

I dont really recall much of the jubilee party thing - i did watch it and
vaguely remember dancing in head banging stylee to Ozzy Osbourne but beyond
that much of the night is a blur. And Pimms, champagne, wine and common
sense dont really go hand in hand as i discovered (who'd have thought
it?!?). I snogged one of my best friends and am now contemplating leaving
the country for good, especially as i told him that i didnt want to go out
with him or anything, this after he told me that he did. I dont think i
have ever felt quite this rough - i even had to tell my parents that i had
food poisoning from the BBQ i went to, just so they wouldnt think i was an
out of control boozer. So what is the point of this paragraph?? I
dunno....I think it had something to do with not having a comment about
brian wilson, but i'm no longer sure...
I am currently listening to Storytelling and i like it very much, but in a
different way to how/why i like their other albums. I think my favourite
track is "wandering alone". I imagine that i would be dancing around the
room in a flamenco fashion to the song, if i could move without feeling
nauseous...
And so comes this very dull post to an end....
Mabe.

So I was on the phone an hour ago, discussing last night's Palace concert with
a friend (another who was enamoured with Brian Wilson's set -- I really must be
the only one who was utterly embarrassed for him (and 6music, right this minute
are playing the original God Only Knows, and I *like* it, dammit (nested
parentheses rawk))) when I got Katrina's mail.
"Oh God," I say, "Isobel is leaving Belle and Sebastian!"
A heated debate follows, in which my friend casually accepts the news with
comments like "well, yeah, bands evolve, you know, it's good for them," and I
respond with crap like "no, NO, you don't understand, this is AWFUL, it's a
complete DISASTER, you FOOL!"
And after I calmed down I apologised for being such an ass. She's right, of
course. It'll probably be good for them. It's interesting how, after six years
of mature fandom and only slight obsession, I still have absolutely no
perspective on this band. I still furrow my brow when people ask what their
worst song is. "Huh? What do you mean? They did a bad song?" And this is me
talking. You should hear how critical I am of every other band in existance.
Anyway. If they ever do decide to replace Bel, be it known that my falsetto is
pitch-perfect, and I can chat to Bobby about Belfast (like the mess I drove
through this morning to get here, which looks like something from Kabul).

administrators? Love me, please.

ps, I think that was a haiku. Please include it EE.
go on.
pps, that was also a haiku. how weird is that? This
is too.
Nobody likes a smart-arse so this isn't. Shame about
the lovely Isobel though although not entirely
unexpected. I got in a fight at the weekend and have
a bruise on my head and poorly knuckles where i
punched the twat back. can I have some sympathy
please?

Hi All,
Hello, my name's David and I like Belle & Sebastian. I like the new album
too, I hobbled all the way round town yesterday to buy a proper copy
(cheapest (£10.99) in HMV or the V shop, bargain fans). The main theme is
very pretty, the harmonica & piano playing are good & the trumpet playing is
beautiful. The Struan-sung Big John Shaft makes this old school B&S fan
happy. Storytelling has a good tune and Sarah is a lovely singer.
I have a favour to ask. Does anyone who attended one of the three Arab Strap
gigs recently have a copy of the mini-album 'Quiet Violence' and would be
prepared to make me a CD-R of it? I have AS or B&S stuff to swap for it.
I see from Katrina's somewhat delayed announcement that my intended P.S.
(Now that the new B&S album has been released I wonder if the band will find
some news to tell us any time soon?) has been rendered redundant. Good luck
to Isobel & I hope she finds an outlet for her talents that makes her happy.
Over on Mr K's Bowlie forums there is much discussion of the Jeepster
wind-down: does this mean a new label for Belle And Sebastian, & if so,
which one?
Thank you for your time.
Love,
David Moore
Chelmsford, UK

Belle & Sebastian announce the departure from the band of cellist and singer
Isobel Campbell. Isobel, who has been a member of the band since 1996,
returned home mid-way through the band's recent US tour.
The split was amicable, and it is true to say Isobel will be missed.
None of the band's current commitments will be affected, and there are no
immediate plans to replace Isobel.

cheers,

I was wondering if I was the only one who watched that travesty last night, the
"Party at the Palace". And I was so looking forward to it. So much so that I
hadn't even bothered looking at the guest/playlist. I just assumed it would be
top-notch pop entertainment. Oh dear GOD was I naive. My EYES, My EARS!
Does Mr B. McNeill need his ears syringed? On what planet would Brian Wilson's
performance be regarded as faultless? Does Mr McNeill not realise that Wilson
turned into a Thunderbird puppet years ago? He stumbled on to the stage, all
awkwardly controlled strings, extremely puzzled, not quite able to get his
bearings, surprised to find himself expected to perform Good Vibrations for the
Nth time and not at all expected to sip his camomile and a nice nap, more's the
pity.
So he sat behind his piano, looking very dapper indeed, and proceeded to murder
four Beach Boys classics, somehow managing not to hit a single right note on
any one of them, reading from the autocue in a manner that makes Bush Jr. look
like a great orator. His backers -- Eric Clapton, Andrea Corr, and Emma Bunton -
- looked terrified that he was about to pass-out at any moment, or perhaps
stand up and call loudly for his nurse.
I know. I'm being churlish. But a little of it *is* excusable. I'm not
complaining that they didn't have Belle and Sebastian, or Hefner; it was the
Palace after all. I knew it was going to be Establishment and nothing more. But
how come Wilson got to come on and stagger through four pieces of well-worn
Americana and Ray Davies gave one extremely respectable rendition of Lola, and
disappeared? Talk about feeling short-changed.
Wasn't this marketed as a celebration of British music? Is it just me? Why was
everyone performing Motown? Don't get me wrong; I love Motown. That's precisely
why I don't want to see Will Young castrate Heard It Through The Grapevine.
Jesus.
I read Sir George Martin was in charge of the festivities. Perhaps that's why
Bowie was no where to be seen. Perhaps that's why there was so much fluffy
dross. Did music not happen in the 50s and 80s? I'm not sure about the former,
but I'm damn sure I remember some great, epoch-defining music from the later.
I'm don't want to brownnose Macca, but it was shameful that he was so easily
able to steal the show. Ozzy was great, but even he didn't know what he was
doing there. The cynic in me wonders how much money changed hands between the
organisers and whoever owns At Home With The Osbournes.
I read some reviews in the papers. The Times lavished praise all over it, as
did most of the broadsheets, natch. Only the Guardian called it for what it
was: "a dress rehearsal for the next Royal Variety Performance."
I suppose it was worth *something* to see Ozzy arm-in-arm with Cliff Richard
toward the end. If any one image could encapsulate the my sense of ennui,
that's it. The self-confessed Prince of Fucking Darkness singing along to All
You Need Is Love with Cliff, smiling beatifically at one another.
I suppose that was worth something, too. The end. I was almost prepared to
forgive them their sins during Hey Jude and then those beautiful fireworks.

Just wondering after watching the jubilee celebration cocncert last night
that the whole shebang was a complete let down apart from 2 things. Ozzy and
his amazing melting candle face, and the sheer genius of Mr Brian Douglas
Wilson.
I just felt for the guy last night, every otehr pop startwas wearing kinda
'rock starry clothes', and brian goes on stage in a very conservative suit
looking liek his mum had dressed him for the school concert.
Can't fault his songs though, 'California Girls', totally faultless, just so
glad that Mike Love wasnae there. 'The Warmth Of the Sun', this gobsmacked
me, a real obscure gem from Brian's Back catalogue. Even Eric Clapton on
guitar didnt spoil this for me. 'God Only Knows' and he was joined by the
Corrsfair enough still didnae spoil it for me!)
He looked so afraid yet serene up tehre, hiding behind his piano and not
playing a note. Then waving hsi hands and conducting and doing actions wa sa
bit scary. (but hey this guy is a bone fide musical genius! fuck macca!)
even 'Good Vibrations' with baby spice, cliff and geezers from steps still
shone through. what a guy, such bravery.
Also . . .
Anyone going to see Monica Queen @ King Tuts on Friday? If any listees are
going and wanan meet up for a preshow beer please let me know. Would be nice
to finally meet some of these geezers. (especially one particular person but
I will hafta be patient and wait a few more weeks!)
also (i dunno if this has been discussed before.) if B&S ever do a covers
albums what tunes should they do?
my vote goes for 'The ace Of Spades'
cheers
brianx

HELLO SINISTER!!!
Matilda wrote: "How do you fall in love in that normal way all my
friends are falling in love?"
And this has nudged me out of lurkedom. Because it's a question I
often struggled with, and whoever read my posts last autumn had to
hear all about it (sorry!) My answer to the question you asked,
Matilda, is a lame answer that I HATED hearing:
It will happen when you least expect it.
That answer was always frustrating to me because I always wanted
love, so how could I *not* expect it? But since I am very much in
love now, I can understand what people meant by that. Truly, for
people to fall in mutual love, I believe you have to ask "are you
happy with yourself? put the book back on the shelf" (there's my B&S
content!) because a lot of times I think we so desperately crave love
because we are dissatisfied with ourselves or our lives. I struggled
for a long time to feel better about myself and about everything in
my life. Those who have followed my posts will know that I
identified with the song "Beautiful" because it said so much about my
struggle with anti-depressant medication v. depression itself. And
for me, I was able to feel better about myself by switching
medications. When I started feeling better about myself, everything
just clicked into place. It so happens that someone on Sinister had a
"list crush" on me, mainly because of my post about the parallels
between my anti-depressant problem and the song "Beautiful".
Though list crushes have been debated before on Sinister as to their
validity, I still firmly stand as "pro list crush". I couldn't
figure out who had voted a crush on me that first time, and then
ended up getting carried away with another list crush and then got
"uncrushed" before I figured out who the first one was from. I
remember posting on October 17th 2001 "Wait a minute, am I engaged to
Ben Apps?" which is significant because now I ACTUALLY AM engaged to
Ben! So it just goes to show that sometimes you find true love in the
most unlikely of places. Something that is just "fun and games" like
Sinister list crushes can turn into being the best thing that ever
happened to you!
Now, I have to say that I wouldn't ordinarily consider marriage after
only 6 months of dating, and especially since my Benny lives on a
different continent, and we've spent a limited amount of time
together "in the flesh", so to speak. Anyone who is or has been in a
long-distance relationship knows how difficult it is. Ben and I
figured that to keep the momentum of our relationship going, we'd
better make a move. So the paperwork is in process at this very
moment with the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and we expect
that Ben will be able to legally move here to California (and marry
me within 90 days) in July sometime. Now we expect to be married in
August or September. We are so anxious and excited to be together for
the rest of our lives. And it was all made possible by Belle &
Sebastian and Sinister! Hooray!
Now I wonder if I should change my email name to Rachel Apps or if
Ben should just become known as Ben fruitloop?
I also want to address a recent post from Ken in which he bid anyone
who is interested in joining the Mixtape Battle to gang up with
listees with the same name and challenge us... I just have one thing
to say:
���VIVA RACHELS!!!
We are going to kick the Chrises, Wills and Rob/y/ins butts, so don't
even front, punks!!! ;)
Last I heard, Joe "Rachel Pancake" Vester has sent the tape off to
the next Rachel, so we're getting down to the end of ours. Sure,
it's been going since November of last year, but we have 13 Rachels
on our team, that's a lot of ground to cover and it's transatlantic
to boot!!! Just so you know, the Rachels are: Rachel Sunnyset
(Rachel Sunnyside-Up), Rachel Playforth (Archel Toast), Rachel
Cornflake, Katie Odle (Rachel Cheeriodle), Shannon (Rachel Pop Tart),
Lisa (Rachel Ranchero), Caleb Ben Moore (Rachel As Well aka RAW), Amy
Longcore (Rachel Applejacks), Joe Vester (Rachel Pancake), Stuart
"Piddlemonkey" (Rachel Griddlemonkey), and Ola Szkudlapska (Rachola
Cinnamon). Then of course there's our cheerleader Rachel Grapenut and
also myself, Rachel fruitloop. As you can see just by our yummy
breakfast names, we are a force to be reckoned with (if you want your
arse kicked, that is!) So brace yourself, Ken (and send me your new
address!!!)
That's about all I have to say for today. Thanks to all of you for
reading this. And thanks to EE Fumblings for summarising the world of
Sinister in the form of haikus. It's much more artistic than my
summaries ever were, and much faster to read! Big hugs to you all!
Love,
Rachel fruitloop
p.s. SOMEONE has a birthday coming up...we'll call him K. Chu. No,
that's too obvious, let's call him Ken C... and undoubtedly, the
perfect gift would be to have the treasure hunt clues revealed!
