Like, for example, New Zealand. (And, OK, I'nly thinking of myself here, but I'm sure the indie kids in Iceland are probably equally pissed ...) I've been stung before by this sort of thing, from other bands I love a lot less than B&S. But now I'm kinda miffed and annoyed. And it's not like I can even give someone else the money and they can download the songs for me, because iTunes wraps Digital Rights Management software around the files, to lock them to the specific computer they were bought from. I guess the other, more fundamental issue is, even when the opportunity presents itself, I really hate paying for digial music. There's something so nice about the physical oblect of a record or a CD, and scrolling to an MP3 in iTunes has none of those exciting tactile thrills. You know the excitement of going to the record store, and then tearingopen the shrinkwrap on the bus home, poring over the booklet, reading the lyrics and the credits? It's all gone ... OK, so this is basically a big whinge, and I'm sorry. But I feel annoued that, as someone whose been a massive fan of B&S for something like nine years, my country of choice now prevents me from even buying the bands' new album. It's bad enough knowing they'll never ever play a shpw here, but I'd always assumed I'd at least be able to buy every one of their albums. In positive news, Vanessa and I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary a couple of days ago. I can't remember if I ever posted this to the list, but when I was sendoing out invites, I took a punt and sent one, along with a wee note, to Stuart Murdoch. About 10 days larer I got a lovely hanfwritten note back, saying he couldn't make it, but wishing us well for the day. That gesture meant so much to me, and the letter still sits neatly tucked in the sleeve of my "The Boy With The Arab Strap" LP. Anyway, hope all's well in sisist*r-land Lawrence x +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I want that Kebabsong but how?
by Matilda Liljedahl 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Ihhh, my shelf is crowded with records. Soon I'll have to buy a new one. I've been shopping online, every record I've been wanting to check out since I was about fifteen, and some new ones I found to. Actually there's so much good music out there that I'm getting all dizzy when I think about it, and have to sit down in my armchair and write a few poems and eat some icecream to calm myself down. I think it's a good thing that my newly bought computer is in a city far away so that I can not use it regularly. If I did I would spend all the money I've saved and end up on the street with a big big collection of records which I would have to drag after me in a big big sack, and they would get broken and I would get thin an sick. All in all it would be bad. I've also bought a vacuum cleaner online. It really sucks to pay money for such a boring thing, but I guess it's part of growing up, at least in this twisted world. Hrm...maybe my problems aren't that big. I've probably never end up on the street, unless I start doing drugs and I don't think I'll need that. I'll stick to coffee. It actually gives me psycadelic perception and a strong feeling of hapiness. I guess I'm lucky, coffee is not too dangerous. I've got one more problem, though it's not the biggest problem in the world. I bought a record called Help! A Day in the Life and thought that the Kebabsong that's been discussed recently, would be on it. There was a lot of other great songs so it was a good mistake I made, but I still want the Kebabsong. If someone could help me out I would really be pleased. In my town the grass and the trees and the roof and everything else is covered with a pale glittering frost. I feel like I'm part of a fairytale and I'm quite fascinated by the fact that I'm not, that it's actually reality this place were I'm walking around. Hope you to are enjoying the winter starting. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Large Doner with Garlic Sauce and pickles
by Ev 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

I'm toying with the idea of taking my 5 year old girl to the Bristol show in February but they don't allow U-14s in the bar - Christ thats 4/5ths of the fan base ruled out then....takings will be down that night. Maybe i'll deposit the maid in left luggage at Templemeads with my portable digital gramaphone - she'll never know the difference. Maybe someone could kindly tell the bands management that there is a modern road network beyond Portishead and that we're not all cattle-worrying, cyder-swilling, incestuous yokels that would undoubtably put the woolies up Struan. Obviously I can't exclude my wife from that last bit... As for portable digital gramaphones, if I've already donated a Breville Sandwich Toaster and a winter duvet to the earthquake appeal, can I have a freebie? No really, for an extra 4 shillings can you just send me the noisy, cheery crowd scenes and I'll try and do something clever with the original??? So Peter Miller is still having problems with the badly packaged kebab download...it sounds terrible Miller - the track that is - does anyone know how to edit the sound on there so it doesn't f**k my earphones up? I think Ken's been around Peter's watching old porn flicks....I'm struggling to work out the white collar link but it's given me wood none-the-less. I'm going on another 6 year sabbatical now...

Sinister: Belle and Sebastian News message - surprise album details ... (fwd)
by Linda Kerr 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

The answer is.. I am confused. Although "pisses over any bit torrents" is an image that will stay with me.. Linda ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2005 14:45:30 +0000 From: Belle and Sebastian <mailinglist(a)belleandsebastian.com> Reply-To: "listmanager(a)banchory.net" <listmanager(a)banchory.net> To: "lulou(a)crockery.org" <lulou(a)crockery.org> Subject: Belle and Sebastian News message - surprise album details ... The time for teasing is over. The "surprise" album, alluded to in our previous mail, is "If You're Feeling Sinister: Live At The Barbican". This download-only album, which pisses all over any bit torrents you may have heard, will be available exclusively from iTunes on December 6th. As a further incentive to follow the path of righteousness, all proceeds will be donated to the DEC's Asia Quake Appeal. We are fairly sure it's going to be available in all the International iTunes shops from the above date, BUT it's not absolutely certain, and it's kind of outwith our control, so no promises in that department. Bear with us though, because it will happen, and it's worth it, as anyone who was at the show could testify. You can download iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/ Enjoy!

Sinister: Like dildo in porn movies
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.nhs.uk 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Hello again, Two posts in the space of three days. If posting to sinister were some kind of profession that one has a manager for, my sinister manager would be complaining right now about my suffocating posting schedule. But as it is, there are song title puns to be made, and there are soon to be more, from the exciting new album! I'm filling myself up to the ears with anticipation right now, and especially now, that I hear there will be a song called 'Mornington Crescent'. Which I presume is either a reference to the place between Camden Town and Euston, or a reference to that game that references said place. Would it just be a recording of Stuart playing 'Mornington Crescent', with some jaunty guitar in the background? Who would win? And by what rule would victory have been achieved? ---------- Sod it, I'm going to try and guess the whole lot. Act Of The Apostle Part 1 - Something about how this man once forgot his own song lyrics 3 times, until some cock from the crowd shouts it out to remind him Another Sunny Day - Global Warming White Collar Boy - A boy in a juvenile detention centre who got gang raped by fellow inmates, and then given the pearl necklace The Blues Are Still Blue - How Chelsea Football Club hasn't really changed despite the influx of cash from Roman Abramovich Dress Up In You - Transvestism, and/or the fur trade. Sukie In The Graveyard - Taking his beloved Suzuki Vitara to the pound after it failed the MOT. We Are The Sleepyheads - Date rape Song For Sunshine - Ozone layer Funny Little Frog - Result of a drinking game (see previous post) To Be Myself Completely - Parody of Radiohead. Lyrics: That there, that is me. I am here, this is happening. *wailing* Act Of The Apostle Part 2 - About how this dude sold a Belle and Sebastian ticket on ebay, for £30. And then the computer hanged itself. For The Price Of A Cup Of A Tea - Oh I don't know. Isobel? Mornington Crescent - Recording of Sturan playing Mornington Crescent Are you excited?

Sinister: me and the gaydar
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.nhs.uk 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

Helloooo sinisters, Sorry I haven't been in touch lately, I had like, loads of things to talk about too but one thing led to another and I didn't get round to it. So, apparently, the new album is gonna be made all the way in LA, and involves writing in a circle with everyone in the band. I am secretly hoping that this was like a Tandem Writing kind of thing, or like the drinking game in which, in a circle in turn you have to add a word to the end of a sentence and then repeat it, and keep it making sense. I once played this game with some friends and we realised that as long as we keep adding adjectives to the end the game will never end. My ideal lyrics to "Crazy Little Frog" -------------------------------------- I saw a big white crazy cute mental automatic pneumatic demented cyclic psychotic insane loony harebrained nutty potty trained Frog Who was absurd and foolish and mentally deficient and likes nutty cheese with the wacky brain smelling like a Frog. <refrain> Frog, frog, frog, here it comes Frog, frog, frog, here it comes </refrain> And repeat. Honestly though. Am I the only one who is quite happy for the band now that they're hitting Proper big time? With LA studios and biography and a comic!! Plus filming for the BBC with colour coordinated fans! Also: The other day, I found "Wrapped up in books" "I'm a cuckoo" and "Step into my office, baby" at a video juke box inside an "It's A Scream!" pub, I sat down, and listened to some B+S while I polished off an orange crush Sourz Towers. It was good times. Things I would like to see next. 1) Chix-factor - a nationwide talent search with the winner becoming a new member of B+S. 2) Belle and Sebastian the TV series (but not as in LE belle et sebastien TV series with that dog thing) 3) Goalkeeper's revenge - a 'celebrity' 5-a-side football game for the PS2, featuring teams such as B+S, Mogwai, sigur ros. Plus unlockable hidden teams Slot Jockey and NME Reference: http://www.nodata.org/honey/sinister/mhonarc/200004/msg00136.html (notice email subject line!) ----------------------- More seriously now. Just want to send my condolences to Danny and all who knew Amy, I only knew her through the chatroom and also a brief encounter in Chicago before the B+S show and I already know from there now wonderful a person she was. I still remember the nice pressie I once got, and the transatlantic mixtape challenge. xxx Ken ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.
