Sinister: Get me a wave-form here, I'm sineing.

Hey Dudes, I've heard Another Sunny Day! Yay. Go me. I heard it at the Barbican gig so it was all legit to quit. It was fucking ace, all like country and stuff. I have a confession to make. I never actually really know how to buy tickets for gigs, or where to look for them. That's really quite a stupid thing to not know how to do. I have only just found out I should check the band's website and I did and it told me exactly where to go, but now seetickets.com are telling me that the Hammersmith gig is sold out. Who are all these mentalists going to Hammersmith? It's like miles away! Can't people go to, like, Cambridge instead? Argh. Now I'll have to go to, like, Birmingham, or something, or take my chances of there being cute girls who have bought extra tickets to give away in exchange for sex. The latter strategy had worked well in the past, and through a good system of teasing and keeping them sweet and keeping an eye on my drinks at all times I never even have had to put out, so I might give it another go. I went on a little jet-tour of my own last week. The Red Bull Dozers played a short instrumental set, which included the hit song "A woman needs a fish", at the Tom Lee Music Shop in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong to a crowd of 3, before purchasing a Zoom G2.1u multi-fx pedal which is awesome. Now I'm back in the UK and jet-lagged and talking rubbish. Anyway yes the dude in that picture at the B+S website is so clearly Red Ken Livingston. xKen ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

Sinister: Another Sunny Little Frog
by Peter Miller 06 Dec '05

>I remember when the only kicks we got >was the static off >the inside sleeve of a new Tops of the Pops LP.. Pornographer! I'm all of a tingle now! Anticipation... I remember anticipation. Actually I have been anticipating getting the "new" 80s WHO DVD for some time, but I am told it is rubbish. I don't know whether I should allow such tittle-tattle to put me off. I have seen an advertisment in the traditional music press for the Belle and Sebastian Civic Pride tour and I was wondering who the people in the photograph are. The geezer looks like Sam Mendes and the ladies look like the usual B&S street urchins after a wash and brush up. I say Sam Mendes because I am following a new policy of saying the first thing that comes into my head if I can't find the right words. I did of course mean Ken Livingston AKA Red Ken. And waht about this Another Late Night CD? Eh? Eh? EH? The download only concert recording got an excellent review in The Observer on Sunday. I will have to check it out, big time. Last night I watched the telly and it was Cherie Blair meets Norma Major and Norma Major was much nicer. I bet she is as excited as I am to see who is going to be the new Tory leader. I live in Maidenhead and we are all true blue not like you smellies.

Does everyone know that this is available - am I always the last to know..? http://www.donewaiting.com/archives/2005/11/new_belle_and_s_1.php I heard the Funny Frog toon on Mark Radcliffe...is it just me or does Stuart now always sound like he is singing in the room next door from everyone else? Such a wee wee voice. It reminds me of the Black Sabbath stories of the album recordings after Ozzy and Bill Ward left, when Ronnie Dio and Vinny Appice were turning down the guitars, and Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi were turning down the drums and vocals and the sound engineer turned ot the bottle, and that is a good story..

Hello all, This will be short. I can't remember if anyone has mentioned this but there is a video up http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/musicscotland/musicshow/ . I'm sure everyone in England and Scotland has already seen (been in) it. And yes, Wales, Robin. But maybe not the rest of you. I was lucky enough to watch it in best possible company ever. Oh, and do NOT fix your eyes on Stuart because you just might start to feel dizzy. Thanks for the link Linda.

Sinister: It's always the quiet ones
by lulou 30 Nov '05

All those years nurturing his creativity on the dole has paid off, Stuart David, estwhile bassist of Belle and Sebastian has made pots of cash by allowing one of his tunes to be used by Xerox. I heard Stuart interviewed and he seemed surprised that this story was picked up now, as the advert has been running for years, but here it is.. Article in the Herald last Monday (courtesy of Google cache).. " The few seconds of music that proved a 500,000 earner MARTIN WILLIAMS November 22 2005 THEY don't have a record deal and give away their music free through Their website. But Looper, a little-known Scottish band, have earned about £500,000 in royalties after one of their instrumentals was adopted as the signature tune for Xerox, the largest document management company in the world. Mondo 77 is heard each day by millions of Americans on national television, although the vast majority will have no idea that the band, which formed through Glasgow School of Art, is responsible for it. While pop tracks are often used to sell everything from iPods to cars, they usually have a short shelf life. However, Looper's simple electronic tune has become a permanent fixture in the US, having been a staple on every Xerox advert since it was discovered by company executives three years ago. The track, which was first released five years ago on the band's album Geometrid, has also previously cropped up on the films Vanilla Sky and The Edukators. The Glasgow-based band was formed by Stuart David, a founding member of Belle and Sebastian, and his wife, Karn. Mondo 77 was chosen for use in the commercials by Adam Leibovitz, who edited the initial adverts for Xerox. "The song's simplicity, energy, modern style and sense of humour made it an important element that worked well with the communications objective of the commercials," said a spokeswoman for the firm. Their UK record company Jeepster closed four years ago, and Looper recorded their last album, The Snare, the following year. It was the first of a proposed five-LP deal with the Mute record label, also home to Depeche Mode, Erasure and Goldfrapp, but the band subsequently left Mute. "We don't sell any records any more," said David. "I am pleased that Looper didn't take off in a big way it's not good for you in the long run, I don't think. "I can only think of two or three fans we've ever heard from off the back of the Xerox ad. I think people who hear it on the ad have less opportunity to find out what it is. "It [Mondo 77] brings in enough money for us to have been able to treat It as being our job." The band is working on an album which they hope will be available as a download only. David formed Belle and Sebastian with Stuart Murdoch in an all-night cafe in Glasgow in 1996, after meeting while on a youth opportunity scheme learning to be music engineers. Looper formed the following year for a show at the Glasgow School of Art, initially as a side project of Belle and Sebastian, with which David was the bass player. He played samplers, sang and told stories, while his wife projected her films and presented kinetic sculptures.

Sinister: Belle and Sebastians Art/Gig Posters
by therach＠insightbb.com 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

This is my first post in maybe....6 years? It is only a matter I thought might be of some interest to members of the list that pulled me out of my lurking status. It is almost impossible to find B & S gigposters, as it seems in the UK they are not as popular or profitable for the artists (see gigposters.com if you are curious) and in the U.S. they play often in festivals so the posters are not just B & S posters, but posters for the entire festival itself(like Coachella). My fiance makes gigposters freelance and while I wish I could say he had done the lovely Belle and Sebastian one currently available- it is not so. The artist name is Michael Michael Motorcycle. His work is all self done, start to finish (including the screenprinting, etc. This was a rather limited run of posters (several hundred) and if you go to his website you will see how lovely his work is. We had the good fortune to be located across the row from him and his beautiful wife and faithful dog this summer at Flatstock/Bumbershoot in Seattle and they are some of the nicest and most talented people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. We have even asked them to do our wedding announcements (if we ever figure out when we are actually going to do this marriage thing). Anyway...I am running on. Right now the prints are I think 100 dollars US, the price will go up when he gets to the posters numbered 100 and below. I am not sure how many of you would be interested but I was when I found out in August he was going to do a poster for them and have been waiting ever since... his url is: http://www.michaelmichaelmotorcycle.com/ Yours, Rachel E. -- "A person is never happy except at the price of some ignorance." --Anatole France (1844 - 1924) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Cut some rug within perspiring distance of B&S....
by Jim Muir Slideshow 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

Hey there Thought you lovely folk might appreciate the chance to cut some rug within perspiring distance of members of Belle and Sebastian. I was lucky enough to cavort around to the discs spun by Stuart Murdoch at How Does it Feel in London last year. It was really nice to interact in a "normal" way with someone who has always been an inspiration. He even reacted with gentle good humour when I asked him in a comedy fashion about some lyrics I had misinterpreted for years (I now realise it is "Old Compton" a street in London mentioned in the Boy with the Arab Strap and not "Contin" a little known village in Scotland. Hey-ho) Anyway, I digressmembers of Belle & Sebastian will be DJ-ing on Friday 25th November @ 9pm, the Mint Lounge, Manchester. There is also a B&S night @ Smile, the Star & Garter, Manchester on Saturday 26th November for all those fortunate enough to reside in Lancashire. Mr Murdoch was also kind enough to listen to my shamelessly B&S inspired music released under the moniker of the Jim Muir Slideshow. The Guardian gave us single of the week and said it "Comes from that great Cocker/Weller/Morrissey tradition of kitchen sink dramas set to fantastic tunes." You can listen and download the EP for free at the following link http://www.myspace.com/jimmuirslideshow I'd be delighted to know people's thoughts on my blatant plagiary! Please mail me your learned thoughts off the list. You all take care & have a great weekend whatever you get up to Jim www.jimmuirslideshow.com ___________________________________________________________ WIN ONE OF THREE YAHOO!

Sinister: Cathay Fly

I'm like, on fire. 3 posts in a week I bet you think I'm pretty clever, don't you girls? Although hopefully i won't actually be on fire as such. As I'm supposed to board a plane eastboard to the orient. No not Leyton. But Hong Kong! Sweet. In about two hours! Yeah I'm actually at the airport right now on this internet machine. How high tech? I'm really bored as you can imagine. I've even already sprayed each of my fingers with a different Bodyshop perfume scent sample and now my hand smells really weird. When will B+S have their own private jet? The way they tour the world these days... Is there a continent that they have not played in aside from Antarctica? Have they done Africa yet? Any Hong Kong sinisters fancy a pint sometime in the next couple weeks? Email me. we can share perfume tips. okay one minute left. Bye!
