Sinister: Closet Belle and Sebastian Fan?
I saw Henry Rollin's tonight and he told a story about taking an Irish woman to a Dokken show who's regular cup of tea was "Belle and Sebastian and things like that." he didn't slag them when he had the opportunity to do so, so i think he may be a closet fan. Brandt Looking for a new sig. Not clever enough to think of or remember a good one.

my gosh... if Henry Rollins is a b&s fan then that changes everything...why? i'm not sure...yet! (allow me to work through this one) you see, no offense to the henry rollins massive (i too found henry to be quite insightful at one point in my life), but in recent years henry has been the butt of almost every joke made on my radio show at school. if there's nothing to talk about (and therein, to apply a "rollins" joke to) then we may simply say somthing like, "uhhh...i think henry rollins is in town tonight" and then laugh. i know it sounds mean and disrespectful but it's really beyond his music(etc.) at this point...i honestly haven't heard anything by the man since 95'-ish...he has become, like the queen of england herself, a figure-head standing for anger (are they the same thing?), which is almost opposite to what my show is about. anyways, the pointis that if henry rollins is a b&s fan, then i'll simply have to find a new "anger"-posterboy... hmmm, how about that guy who owns the WWF...isn't he on some wrestling music album that wasjust released? ...b&s story...(true!...not false) belle & sebastian recently cancelled a show in toronto, ontario, canada...booo! soon after that occured, i was chatting with "Gord", the guy who runs a local record shoppe in Hamilton, and i was asking if he'd gotten in TIJAMRS....he didn't know that i was all that into b&s and so he proceeded to tell me about how he had received 4 free tix to the toronto show and couldn't find ANYBODY to give them away to!!! this man runs a well-known indie sort of establishment and of all his regular customers he didn't know of one b&s'er...yikes! recalling this story has a message...make vocal your affection for the things that you, in fact, love in life...whether it's b&s, henery rollins, jello pudding, cellular phones, collecting old newspapers or your crush (well maybe that one's a bit touchy...we must take care to not come off as stalkers now)...you never know who you'll meet or where you'll go in life...(or what shows you'll see for free!!) take care ketan ps. i'm currently pulling an all-nighter writing a philosophy paper on "God" that's due in a few hours...that may explain the contemplative nature of my message. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

Henry Rollins isn't the only one. In this month's Q magazine there's an interview with the Bare Naked Ladies, and their singer defends himself against charges that his lyrics are overly clever by saying that he really likes Morrisey, the Divine Comedy and Belle and Sebastian, and that they all have great lyrics but don't get slagged off for it. And while I'm at it, in the new Select magazine there's a map of Glasgow showing all the B&S-related sights (the studio, the Church Hall etc) to help prospective stalkers find their way around. Dear diary: Sorry, nothing interesting happening today. Big Stu That was a remarkably short message by my normal standards, so I'd better elongate it by talking pointlessly about how short it was in order to keep up the tradition. There, that ought to do the trick. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

why? whywhywhywhy? If anyone can think of another case of such a thing being printed in respect to some other band please tell me. Justification is needed. sorry i cant go on i've come over all indignant. in the case that Mr Gardiner was just making a joke i am dutifully humiliated. sarah* +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
