(B & S content) I think it was Freud who proposed that there was a symbolic meaning behind every dream you have. Actually that was one of the driving forces behind Salvador Dali & the surrealist movement (reading a Dali biography & thus had to tie that in). Actually, there are several dissenting opinions on the nature of dreams, in psychology... First you have your Freudian theory, which states that dreams are the expression of your subconscious. Further extrapolating that, one can analyze dreams and determine what is bothering someone, or the state of their mental health. This is a technique used by followers of Freud. However, bear in mind, though Freud was a pretty sharp cookie, the guy also thought that all women secretly desire to have a penis. So take it with a grain of salt. Another theory is that dreams are your mind's way of preparing you for an unpleasant event. An example of this would be a dream in which a loved one dies. It's horrifying, but maybe this pseudo-experience might prepare you for the real thing. However, dreams have a tendency to occasionally getting pretty odd, and so maybe this can't always apply. For example, I'm now quite prepared, should my dad and I encounter an avalanche of 10-30 foot fish while walking along the beach. Practical? Um...well probably not. Then you have the theory which states that dreams are entirely without meaning. Something like a brain burp. Rather unpleasant and dreary, if you ask me. I like to think dreams mean *something* Personally I tend to agree with the second one, or maybe a mixture of all three, depending on the dream. I have a little personal theory of my own. You know how when you dream in a location, you know it is the location it's supposed to be, but somehow it doesn't resemble the real-life location in the slightest? So we have, throughout our lives, traversed thousands of imaginary dreamscapes. Well I think that when you encounter deja vu, it's an occasional when the place you happen upon is very similar to a setting of a dream you once had, and your mind interprets this as a fuzzy sense that you've been to that place once, somehow. Anyway, not very on-topic, but still lively conversation. I think that the prevailing theory is that dreams are the easiest thing to talk about, as well as the easiest thing to talk about on and on and on... So, all you Sinisterines ready for a potential trip to school in the buff? /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - mick at indiepop.com - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - sandcastlerecords at indiepop.com | | Sandcastle Homepage - http://indiepop.com/sandcastle/ | | | | "Everyone has their own cup of tea. | | Some just happen to like a lot of sugar in it!" | | - Me! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

If you entered (i.e. Tim or Peter) can choose again please. Please remember that anyone who is involved with the band can enter, but there's no way I'm giving you my Elvis picture. It's too precious. REVISIONS ========= I have changed the currency from thousands of pounds to pence, a wonderful suggestion from Tim. He really is a stunning fellow, and will surely excel in his chosen field. And I have made a bigger scope of songs prices. So there. At least I'm trying, leave me alone. ============== What, with the upcoming B&S tour activity 31st Aug - 7th September. I thought it would be nice if we had a little competition. Here's the story - you have to buy 5 songs which you think will be played at the upcoming concerts, with a whole pound. You get 5 points for each song they play, that you own. You will accumulate points as the tour progresses. Bonus ===== You also have to guess the order in which your 5 songs would be played. If you get the order right you get bonus points. 1 Song played in correct order = 0 points 2 Songs played in correct order = 2 points 3 Songs played in correct order = 3 points 4 Songs played in correct order = 4 points 5 Songs played in correct order = 5 points Rules: 1. You must choose exactly 5 songs 2. You must spend exactly 1 pound. 3. No members of Belle and Sebastian can win, but they can play. 4. No-one I suspect is on friendly/sexual terms with any members of B&S can win, but they can play. 5. I'm only going to run this for the UK tour dates, but you can still enter no matter where you are. 6. Once you've picked your songs you can't change them. Your 5 songs are applied to all the gigs. 7. I'm gamesmaster, so what I say is right. 8. Anyone who tries to manipulate the band to play certain songs (heckling at gigs etc) cannot win. 9. In the event of a draw, there will be a tie break round. I haven't decided what it is yet. 10. No entries will be accepted after 30th August 1998. Here's a list of B&S songs with there corresponding prices. Title Cost Sleep The Clock Around 50p Chick Factor 50p It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career 50p Ease Your Feet Into The Sea 50p Dirty Dream #2 50p Simple Things 50p Seymour Stein 50p Is It Wicked Not To Care 50p A Summer Wasting 50p The Rollercoaster Ride (Instrumental) 50p Spaceboy Dream 50p The Boy With The Arab Strap 50p The Fox In The Snow 40p Like Dylan In The Movies 40p Mayfly 40p Seeing Other People 40p The Stars Of Track And Field 40p Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying 40p Judy And The Dream Of Horses 40p The Boy Done Wrong Again 40p Me And The Major 40p Slow Graffiti 30p Modern Rock Song 30p A Century Of Fakers 30p The Loneliness Of A Middle DistanceRunner 30p Rhoda 30p Lazy Line Painter Jane 30p Dog On Wheels 30p A Century Of Elvis 20p String Bean Jean 20p You Made Me Forget My Dreams 20p Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie 20p Beautiful 20p Photo Jenny 20p Belle And Sebastian 20p Put The Book Back On The Shelf 20p My Wandering Days Are Over 10p Mary Jo 10p The State I Am In 10p Expectations 10p I Don't Love Anyone 10p You're Just A Baby 10p She's Losing It 10p I Could Be Dreaming 10p Electronic Renaissance 10p We Rule The School 10p London Has Let Me Down Again 5p Hurley's Having Dreams 5p Pocketbook Angel 5p Sample Entry ========== here are my 5 songs: It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career 50p My Wandering Days Are Over 10p Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie 20p She's Losing It 10p Mary Jo 10p = 1 pound I take the order to be the order you write the songs down. PRIZE ===== The big prize is one of my favourite personal belongings - A fine framed picture of Young Elvis dancing in a big woolly jumper. It is fantastic. How to enter ========== Mail me your 5 choices at cleonard at murrayj.com DO NOT MAIL THE LIST WITH ENTRIES!!!! cos honeypaul with give me a row, and probably not put out. DO NOT MAIL THE LIST WITH ENTRIES!!!! That's important DO NOT MAIL THE LIST WITH ENTRIES!!!! MAIL cleonard at murrayj.com! I shall give you a telling off if you have a number of songs other than 5, or have not spent exactly 1 pound If you do mail the list with your entries, I'll change one of your guesses to Electronic Renaissance.

I'm christine and am a mere (or hefty depending on your view) 21 years old and am living in smoggy Bristol right now, but 2 out of three of these facts are certain to change in at least the next twelve months. The *first* Belle and Sebastian song I ever heard was 'Judy and her dream of horses' about two years ago. My boyfriend had heard some stuff on the radio and bought the album. This was shortly followed by me walking in when he was listening to it and getting excited and squeaky. B&S then became one of the more romantic aspects of our relationship along with castles, trees, hot air balloons and our life. So when I started nosing around for info about any gigs and stuff, I was delighted to stumble across this list and even more delighted to get tickets for myself and Richard on the 7th in London. I would imagine that there are quite a few of you going and it would be good to meet some of you. I always find it quite odd to meet people who have heard any B&S stuff, let alone get quite enthusiastic about it. The *last* time I heard B&S was at The Zone,a club in Swansea. They played 'me and the major'. If anyone knows how dark and scarey the Zone is, you might understand how excited we got. Has anyone ever heard them in an even more unexpected place???? Apart from Richard and B&S, I also like, Labyrinth, Audrey Hepburn, Caramel Shortcake, cats and the sea. I like other stuff too, but this is all I would like people to generalise about! Anyway, I hope this hasn't been too dull and pathetic to read, I just get a bit too passionate about the things I like. But I'd like to know what sort of people are on this list....... love and logs, Christine ( and not stuart who owns this email account) >----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

The following are a few short ink polaroids (because it's the traditional way of telling stories on the list, and not at all because I haven't got an original idea in my head) taken at the Blue Soda social last night... 9.30pm - Poetry Cafe, Covent Garden This was taken downstairs in the poetry cafe. As many people as could cram into the small room and listening to the first of the 2 bands playing, Calmer. I thought they were suprisingly good for two people playing to less than 50 people, they both have extremely good voices. Although unlike the second band they didn't have all their friends cheering and whistling after every song... 10.30pm That's me crouched on the floor, listening in on a conversation Isobel was having with Katrina, and being far too nervous to join in. She's a very nice person, you'd like her. Although she wasn't really how I'd imagined. 11.30pm This one is of about 20 of us chatting (and drinking...) on the roof of the poetry cafe, because the cafe had shut for the night. Isobel's sitting by the wall on the right of the photo, chatting to Wee Chris, who didn't seem too happy at having to get up early the next morning to do an interview. I'd taken up a strategic position next to the wine bottles... 12.10am - Kings Cross station platform Shit, I've missed the last train back to Cambridge. 12.30am - Poetry Cafe (again) I'm now spending part of my time wandering round the roof of the cafe asking people if they've got a bed for the night so I don't have to sleep in the station, and the rest of the time drowning my sorrows. Everyone's very sympathetic, even though I just know what they were actually thinking was "You stupid bugger, you should have left here when you said you would and you wouldn't have missed the train". 1.00am - On Betterton Street Steady Mike has come to my rescue and offered a bed for the night, for which I shall be eternally grateful... Everyone's leaving the cafe now (the alcohol had run out...) and getting taxis / night buses back home. I'd also finally had enough to drink by this stage to summon up the courage to actually speak to Isobel. Actually, that's an exageration, I managed to mumble a few things to her, and than we both went to talk to other people before I died of embarrassment or she got too pissed off with a random dull drunk bloke talking to her. It was a good night in the end, despite getting back a day later than planned (and crashing my bike when I got back 'cos some stupid idiot walked out in front of me, but that's another story). I think I'll go now and catch up on some sleep... The Tall Git PS Side projects - Stuart M plays on the new Hefner album, "Breaking God's Heart", which was done at the same studios in Glasgow and with the same producer as the B&S album. And although I don't think Richard actually plays on the album, he's thanked in the sleeve notes for lending them some equipment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

(hehe) I've heard B&S in the club you referred to earlier in your message, Popscene. In fact, I was there two nights ago (the club is popscene on thursday nights only) and they played Dylan in the Movies. People don't, however, dance to it since the DJ plays it, or has played it on the two occasions I've been there, at around 10:45 or so when the club is relatively empty and no one really dances. I wish either they played it later, or I had the nerve to dance on an empty dance floor.

This is played every 2 weeks at the Attic in Irvine in Ayrshire (every 2 weeks becuase they have a strange alternate Dj system and one of them wont play it.) Tonight only 3 of us danced to it, but ive seen the dance floor packed with Hooch filled kids frugging frantically. And its absolutely impossible to avoid joining in on the hand claps. ALso this same DJ always plays 2 Morrissey songs a night, and not jsut the obvious ones. So if any of you are ever in Ayrshire, and are stuck on a saturday night, pay it a visit.

They're not much like B&S really. At all. But I think they're good. I like the lp 'breaking god's heart'. Anyway, I can't describe it. But they're not like B&S. But you still might like them. I do. Whatever. Stuart M did something on the record. Someone said it was a mighty organ or something. In the sleevenotes, which I am sure are meant to be like an Ink Polaroid, they say: "Stuart Murdoch also managed to pop by and lend his hands." and then "thanks to........Richard from B+S (who lent us drum parts)" So there you go.

If you didn't, IYFS was one, which knocked me over. Also, Neil Finn's new one and Pavement's 'Slanted & Enchanted'.

PLEASE do not phone the Community Hall OR John Smiths in an attempt to get tickets, as you will come to a dead end as the staff will probably not be able to help you much. The ONLY WAY to get tickets is to head along to the shop and buy them in person ... remember, there are other uk gigs throughout september (which are close to selling out so get your tickets now!) and the band will also hopefully do another uk tour in november, after the european + us dates, so everyone who wants to go should be able to see them this year. cheers, Katrina. -- ************************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - mailto:a-and-r at jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, uk phone - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Message-ID: <01bdbec1$eb4d01e0$LocalHost@itjfvkli> I wonder why the WHO never used that as an album title? It's got HIT written all over it. Anyway, after a pleasant few days of sunflowers and storks, coaldust and clergymen, not to mention a tragically fruitless shepherd search, it was very nice to come home to a brand new competition of the fiendishly difficult variety, and the deeply satisfying news that Keith walked to work listening to Ash Ra Tempel and McRagTag has funked up all over his duvet. First of all, the shepherd news: He was nowhere to be found, but I did a bit of detective work. He recently set his slavering pack of huge mastiffs on a little puppy-wuppy; he's got a proper house; he's got goats, not sheep; and six-year-old Mikel doesn't know who on earth I'm talking about. Now, my favourite subject: The WHO - the reason David Moore didn't see the nearly nudie woman or the Keith Moon vocal extravaganza is because it was a different concert. The one on the video is from 1974, which accounts for the vastly superior fashion sense of the crowd. It was on BBC 2. But the 1976 one is/was in the Guiness Book of Records as the loudest concert of all time! Needless to say, I heartily approve. Apparently it was one of the best concerts they ever did, so lucky old David. The inevitable B&S content: It would seem that numerous dubious journalists on the list have alreadt received their copies of the new B&S LP. My question is this - did it come with a typically charming press release written by a memeber of the band? If so, could someone send it to the list? Please and thank you.

Indeed you speak the truth, and would explain how he did not hear the Keith Moon rendition of the shouty bit in Bell Boy. It's indeed ace - he has trouble keeping hold of the microphone whilst banging all the drums at once, it's well cool. I'd say that whole period was the WHO in their prime, and indeed one of the best all round records by the WHO would have to be the mid-seventies compilation record "Odds and Sods" which was my bosses first ever record (he went to see the WHO in 1976 too, but in Parkhead). I know this seems weird with it being a record made up of outtakes and stuff, but it is completely brilliant. On the same tip, I bought "Get yer Ya-Ya's out" by the Rolling Stones the other day, from Fopp for a fiver, and it's class too, from their golden concert period, the Stones rock the house, my favourite bit being where Mick tells the crowd that he's burst a button in his trousers, and he says he'd better sort it, cause the crowd wouldn't want to see his trousers fall down. Actually, that's not the best bit, but it is the funniest. The amazing renditions of Midnight Rambler and Sympathy for the Devil do the trick for me. I also got Hot Chocolate's greatest hits which is funky as fuck. Right, better get back to work then... sound it's the Brothers Johnson on the radio. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

The White Stone of Lewis Do not attempt to lift the white stone. It is smooth quartzite and weighs a lifetime. You would prove your back could take the strain; brave, ambitious, You could handle any challenge. But other strengths are more sustaining: Able to change and take changes, Lift old habits from heavy soil, Get to grips with the smooth surface of self-deception. Let others do the heaving and shoving who shoulder burdens they cannot manage and set their sights on defeating others in pointless shows of strength.

Message-ID: Answer: In Maryhill, of course! For all those from "forn parts" e.g. Edinburgh, Dundee etc. You can get to Glasgow by Bus (to Buchanan Street, usually every half hour 'till late) or by Train (Central Station's the big one - but there's also Queen Street) or indeed you can go by 'Plane or Helicopter (if you've got a helicopter, can I go to the gig in it too, please!) Maryhill is a district on the North side of the River Clyde, near Firhill (home of Partick Thistle Nil FC) and the River Kelvin The Community Hall's actually on Maryhill road (MAJOR road - everyone you ask should be able to point it out, unless their forn too) opposite Napiershall Street and next to a large car dealer's (Jaguar, I think?). You really can't miss it (honest!) You can get to the Hall via Napiershall Street from Great Western Road too, (another MAJOR road on that side of the Clyde) but it's not really too near the hall. (5 minute walk, but I'm terminally lazy!) The nearest tube station is St. Georges Cross, and from there it's just a brisk 10 minute walk up Maryhill road. We could arrange a picnic, or indeed a "pub picnic" and go en-masse, if anyone's up for it? I'm off to find a map that'll explain things a bit better than my strangulated vocabulatry can handle. ;) Oh, yeah - and it's _way_ past home time!

It seems like when I was over there, coaches between Edinbrough and Glasgow ran often, very cheap (6 quid off peak return trip), but even i can't remember how late they ran. I think they do, but even so, finding a youth hostel shouldn't be a biggie. > tickets are 5 pounds each and are on sale now from John Smiths in Byres > Road, Glasgow IN PERSON ONLY! That's near the University towards great western road. Not far from a Safeway.....sorry for pointless info, but I remember Byres Road being a bit long, and I do it for those who are as bad at finding their way around as I am. Hey, everybody, I'm listening to this CD by this new band called the Beatles. I think it's called White Town or White album or something. Doesn't anyone think if they had eliminated the filler on this album it would have been as good as Sgt. Peppers? Number 9.....Number 9.....Number 9.....Number 9.....Number 9...... I think I like the Simpsons version better when Barney belches after every "Number 9" Here's a question: have people managed to wrangle their favorite B&S album/EP out of the CD player long enough to experience the effects? What's it like? For me, i think about it, but I think Dog On Wheels has been in my rotation bin....about 4 months...long enough. ss. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Since I bought Dog on Wheels and 3...6...9...on Monday, June 15, they have not left my CD changer. I dont even think abt taking them out, they're just there and always will be. I think if I took them out I would be scared that theyd get scratched up somehow. Interestingly, as I began typing this up, my ABBA CD ended and "Dog on Wheels" began...how fitting.

Nice single, that. Interesting side-project material. It did remind me a lot of "the 'Strap" but in a unique sort of way. Idunno, I quite liked all the drum machine bits. Not cheap-sounding at all compared to the image I have in my head when I think of "cheap-sounding drum machine." Also got the new Blueboy, but this ain't the Blueboy list, and what's more, I haven't had time to listen to it yet (No! Please don't hit! I'll be good from now on in, I swear!).

For me, i think about it, but I think Dog On Wheels has > been in my rotation bin....about 4 months...long enough. I've been obsessing over Dog On Wheels lately, too. It's funny, because when i bought all three EPs at the same time, and at first i was madly in love with 3..6..9 and didn't really like the other two at all - and now i still love 3..6..9, but Dog On Wheels is all i want to listen to...i like LLPJ too, but it still hasn't hit me the way the other two have. I think Dog On Wheels has been in my stereo almost without interruption for the past three weeks or so, with no sign of letting up. Every time it says, "He wants to love and he wants to care, but when the girls hear that they think he's so square," my heart just rips in half...i think i'm in love with Sebastian, just from the little things i hear about him in these songs. That bit about "You're always looking for a sign, but boy you blow it every time"... If i can't have a list crush (since this is something like my second post to the list ever, that isn't looking too promising), maybe i can just have a crush on a ficticious song character, right?

Message-ID: My good friends, I feel renewed and quite splendid after having a lovely evening out with the famous miss Julia. We attended King Tuts Wah Wah Hut to hear some drunk Canadian called Ron Sexsmith sing. Imagine our surprise to climb those shaky stairs to nearly be knocked back down by a huge and powerful (yet gentle and subtle) lady voice - can you guess who it was? It was Monica Queen of course, and that John bloke who plays acoustic guitar. She was fantastic. I was awestruck and I think I love her. Don't tell Julia that. Her band, well, her and the acoustic guitar are called "Stars into paradise" or something, but my god for those of you who cannae stand her bit in LLPJ, you should have heard this. Fantastic. Then Ron came on and my my he was great. What a lovely lovely voice and lovely songs and a charming young fellow an that. He played for ages as well, even though all his songs are dead short. He played all the songs off his albums, apart from the shite ones and some new ones which sound fantastic. I was nearly crying at the end, it was so good. Hold on, no I wasn't I'm a man and I like rugby an that. It was just a bit dusty in there, that's all. The mysterious and beautiful Charlotte breathed >I'd like to nominate someone to produce next week's and I nominate, er, >Chris Leonard as he is ineffably cute (I know, I've met him) and has >produce the most exciting competition to come out of Glasgow since, >since, since his last competition. Oh, stop it. You made me blush. Can I keep you? I'm happy to do a Monday poem, but this coming Monday I'll be sweating in the hot showers of lovely Singapore. I'm not much of a reader, as you may have gathered from my shaky use of englisch, but I have invested in a novel for my Journey. It is "And the Ass saw the Angel" by Mr Nick Cave. I read the first page last night, and crumbs, it looks a bit hard. I think it may help if I imagine Nick Cave reading it to me. So anyway, since I can't do a Monday poem here's one for today. First some background on the Author: Hugh MacDiarmid 1892-1978 This was the pen-name used by Christopher Murray Grieve. He was born in Langholm and educated at Langholm Academy before becoming a pupil-teacher at Broughton school in Edinburgh. He then became a journalist. During the 1914-1918 war he was in the Royal Army Medical Corps. A controversial figure, as many of the most interesting artists are, he pioneered what many regarded as a Scottish literary renaissance in the 20th century. He held strong political opinions which, as they ebbed and flowed, coloured his writings, but central to his work was his intention to create (in his opinion re-create) the Scottish literary language. This involved using a vocabulary from all regions of Scotland and all historical periods which to some seemed forced and artificial, but to others was legitimate given the lyric use to which MacDiarmid put the words. His political views have irritated the simplistic from time to time since he held ideas which seemed to categorize him as a 'Communist', though his communist ideas were very much his own. He did stand as a Communist candidate in an election in 1963 but he had also been a founder member of the 'Scottish National Party'. In the early 1920's he was publishing his own poetry amongst collections of contemporary verse which he was employed to edit. In Scotland his most famous work is probably 'A Drunk Man Looks At The Thistle' (1926) which deals comprehensively with the condition of Scotland and the Scots. This no doubt explains its continuing poularity here. 'Facing The Chair' by Hugh MacDiarmid Here under the rays of the sun Where everything grows so vividly In the human mind and in the heart, Love, life, and all else so beautifully, I think again of men as innocent as I am Pent in a cold unjust walk between steel bars, Their trousers slit for the electrodes And their hair cut for the cap Because of the unconcern of men and women, Respectable and respected and professedly Christian, Idle-busy among the flowers of their gardens here Under the gay-tipped rays of the sun. And I am suddenly completely bereft Of la grande amitié des choses créés, The unity of life which can only be forged by love Oh, and Susannah said >Right, now all I have to do is work out my list crushes, enter Chris Leonards >daft quiz...... It's not daft, and anyway I'm suspicious if your eligible for a prize, re Rule number 4. Joking???..

Whoever it was that dreamt about going naked to a B&S gig should be worried that this may be some sort of hypnotic suggestion planted in their subconscious mind by a certain listee who is best left unnamed. Lets just say that it would be the sort of person who wears out video tapes by watching them frame by frame, jiggle by jiggle. Thanks for the Salako info, CDZone exceeded even my expectations by listing Reinventing Punctuation against the WRONG BAND. I noticed on the gig list Starwhatever sent out with the tickets that the day before B&S are in London there is a Who convention. Is this a coincidence? I am beginning to suspect otherwise. I know that there were discussions on what to do after the London gig, which ended with Katrina attempting to organise something at Trash on Oxford Street, but have we decided where (or if) we will meet before the gig starts?

So.... In true indie-wanker fashion, all of my favourite songs are currently unreleased. A good deal of these come off the new album, but naturally their favour with me will slip quickly when the new album is actually released, and all the plebs can hear them too. My current number 1, which I would have to give 10 out of 10 would have to be "Got the girl, missed the train" or something, which I haven't even heard! "Perfection as a hipster" also scores highly. These are liable to stay quite high up the top too as they're never actually likely to get a release. Probably my least favourite stuff would have to come from the EP's. Especially 3,6,9 seconds of light, which got into the charts (for God's sake). The only other ones I like much are the unreleased mixes off the new LP, and I quite like "I know where the summer goes" and "the Gate", but I fear that in a couple of months I'm liable to hate them too.

I've just been reading the proofs today (instead of working), and it's a cracker. It's called Seven Years of Plenty: A Handbook of Irrefutable Pop Greatness, 1991-1998 by Ben Thompson and basically it covers good music throughout the nineties. Criminally, there is only one reference to Belle and Sebastian (in the piece about Arab Strap), but we'll have to ignore that. There are chapters on Blur, Pavement, Air, Gorky's, Smog, Beck, Massive Attack, Pulp, Cornershop, Lambchop, Teenage Fanclub, Suede, Take That, Spice Girls, Tricky, Beastie Boys, and much much more. Anyway, it'll be in the shops in October, it will cost ten quid, and it's got one of the coolest covers you'll ever see. Considering that ninety nine per cent of what we publish here is crud, it's all very exciting!

First off I got to release about 2 years of angry frustration and tell a member of staff in Birkenhead Virgin that his shop was not only shit, but f**ing shit, after I found they weren't stocking the Salako single. Then when I got over to Liverpool, I found that the Liverpool branch didn't have any either. Finally got one in HMV though, were I also picked up the Cinerama single after a few folks mentioned how good it was. Damn fine singles both are as well. Then it was off upto Probe were I couldn't get out the shop without buying another record, or so it seemed. I was about to leave empty handed when I spotted a Hefner 7" so I got that and as i'm heading for the door something catches my eye (get ready for the gratuitous B&S content), it's the Looper single, so I get that as well. As i'm on my way through the door, I spot the words Super Furry and Animals in the record racks, so I have a flick through and the last record there is a 12" promo of The Man Don't Give A Whatsisname, so I had to have it. The Looper singles great, is Mr D going to release anymore stuff as Looper ?. byyyyyyyeeeeeeeee Gary ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Maybe that's not so unusual, but what IS somewhat curious is the zeal that this list has for converting their friends and relations into b&s fans. I can remember several listees joyously reporting that they had successfully made yet another "convert," and then tallying their convert count. hmm......sounds kinda suspicious to me.

Well, I'll send this to the list because I guess some of you could go to Paris since most of you are on holidays, and not only Louise. There is not much to do in Paris in August, except wandering in the streets, eating ice-creams, sitting at terraces, walking near the Seine... I could have advised you to go to one of the finest pop pubs in Paris, but it will be closed till the end of august... And there are not many gigs in Paris (there are some during festivals, but that's almost all...). Anyway, you can buy records in various shops as : - Rough Trade, 30 rue de Charonne, Paris 11e (Metro station : Bastille). I neednt explain what you can find there (go upstairs to find pop music) - La FNAC : there are 4 or 5 FNAC in Paris, the best one as far as indie pop is concerned is (well, it's only my opinion) the one on the Rue de Rennes (Metro Montparnasse) - If you want to find second hand records, you can visit the shops around the Forum des Halles (Metro Chatelet) or even Crocodisc, rue des Ecoles (just in front of the College de France, Metro Saint Michel or Cluny Sorbonne) or Jussieu Musique (Metro Jussieu, promo copies and second hand, rather cheap, try to find the pop shop on the rue de Jussieu, near the station) And if you ever happen to see someone with a Belle and Sebastian tee-shirt (the yellow bus one) somewhere, it could be my girlfriend.. Just come and meet us!!! Stephane > ps - where are you meeting up after the gig?

You know what cults are like, I might wake up dead one morning.. It seems that everyone on the outside can see this, the cultishness of us fans is always the first thing friends comment upon, and the first thing papers write about. For instance: >From the (London) Evening Standard, 26 july So fey they make the Cardigans look and sound like Aerosmith, this Scottish eight piece have a fiercely loyal cult following with their introspective melancholic brand of instrumental P!O!P!. After I read that I started to think about it. And it's true; we're all cult members, I mean, why else am I sat typing when I could be down the P!U!B!, why does a glazed look come over my eyes whenever I hear Tigermilk playing, why else do I risk a kicking by wearing flares in a town which sees baggy trousers as dagerously deviant, and quite probaby homosexual. I was brainwashed the moment I heard the first few bars of The State I'm in come crackling over the airwaves back in 96, and I haven't gone for more than a minute since without thinking of the band. So has anyone experienced this before? With the S****s maybe, or Felt? Does the love affair ever end, is there a cure? This must be how Boyzone fans feel- I haven't wet my knickers yet, though if I met Stu M, I quite probably would.. Anyway, I'll shut up now, as I'm probably overreacting.

The prizes on offer include a Las Vegas T-shirt, the new Elliot Smith CD and a copy of Ink Polaroids. Maria grabs the little book and waves it at me-"I know which prize you want!" I get set up, put my pennies in neat little stacks and find myself regretting I didn't bring a good luck charm for the table. Also find myself knocking the table with my knuckle when I wait for one number: I'm becoming my grandmother, fast. After the bingo we head up to a bar which generously serves drinks two-for-price of one, Ladies Only. The bartender is v.cute, according to Ursula, in a 1985 fashion. We listen to a Jesus+Mary chain song, a Psychedelic Furs number, the bartender listens to our cheap-boyfriend woes with sympathy. Last stop is to see a band, Elf Power; saw them last week + loved them. Tonight they're a few members short and go for all rockin' numbers, they even open with Eno's Needles in the Camels Eye, which makes my night. (As does winning the Ink Polariods with "O sixty-four", of course).

Just a word of warning, there is someone in our midst who is showing worrying signs of fascist behaviour on IRC. He goes under the name of CVTB, and it was my great misfortune to meet him tonight. I think statements like "all gays must die" even if meant with oh-so-clever irony are, at the very least, tedious, and at the worst, incredibly fucking offensive. I have no idea who this person is, or even if he's on the list, but if any of you encounter him, give him the kicking he so richly deserves. This is quite probably a flame, but, under the circumstances, a wholly justified one.

But, this couldn't be 100% true, as the cartoon borrowed its name & plotline (I think) from an old french serial. I guess the creator of the serial could be angry. Oh well. If they did change their name, I would think they should make a sly little change, enough that you can tell it's the same band. Like perhaps, La Belle Sebastian, or just Belle Sebastian.

Hopefully not, it is a nice name, I'm surprised you can copyright something as generic as two names in a row, I mean, can you legally define the difference between John and Dave, or something - or Robson and Jerome, Renee and Renato? Bob Carolgees and Spit the dog? I dunno. A subtle change might work. Belle end Sebastian perhaps. Belle end Semenstain maybe?

I don't know how encouraging this will be, but it will eventually lead to more healthy emotional balance. I say for right now, lay low and wallow in self pity for the next couple of months. If you have some sort of emotional response, run with it--anger, sadness, depression, you name it, play it up. It's bound to bring sympathy from friends and family. Let this last as long as you feel you need to. Then when you think you are ready for a new relationship and that you are over your ex, go out with the first person that comes along. It doesn't matter who it is, because you won't be ready, and you'll end up breaking up with that person anyway. Use that relationship to get the bad juju out and to fine tune how you'd like your next relationship to be. Give yourself a few months alone after that, remembering to drink heavily during that time and then, when you least expect it, someone good will pop up and you'll forget old what's-her-name, no matter how bad she hurt you. This may seem completely callous and cruel, but I think we've all experienced it. Having been on the receiving end, yes it is painful, but hey, they'll get over it in time too. Life isn't pretty.

I compiled a list of all the covers they'd did from hearing people's posts about shows. It's in the archives I bet. Of course that was before the church gig, and before the upcoming Serge gig. Offhand, I recall them covering the Velvet Underground ("I'll Be Your Mirror"), the Left Banke, Beck, the Smiths ("Reel Around the Fountain"), and I think Orange Juice.

Yes! Had the same experience sitting in my car. Was a dull day driving about town stuck in traffic and getting caught at every single red light with the radio on. I had it turned to the public station and my all time favorite "the state I am in" came on! Made me glad I was in traffic for once and not in the store I needed to be in listening to the dance station. > RE: ban(ne)d names, How about "Arizona" - as a tribute to "Texas", or > "Arab Strap" - You should always have an album/song title with the band > name in it... ;) Yes!

Well, the rumors of me saying they are shit are unfounded. I enjoy Sgt. Peppers and many of their other singles. However, since they were so prolific, and at that point in their careers, they really didn't need to censor themselves too much, yes, some of it just doesn't go down well. They could have released the recorded sounds of their hangovers after a world cup match and it would have sold millions. That's my theory on Oasis. I consider them a parody on the Beatles since the Beatles looked too scarily harmonious and enjoyed each other's company so much that they began to dress like one another and go sledding together. s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Message-ID: <88450556.35c9203f@aol.com> i found this on the jeepster page, it's from the august 97 melody maker: One of the short stories Stuart wrote was called "Belle And Sebastian". Is Belle, Isobel the band's violin player? "No. I wrote that before I met Isobel. It was about a girl, and this boy teaches her how to play guitar. I used to imagine him writing songs and this would be a Belle song and this would be a Sebastian song. And I would arrange my tapes in Belle and Sebastian songs and it got a bit daft when it came to playing music to real people. I'll probably put that story on a record sometime." so that's what that is all about. i missed the arab strap tonight because i had a painting class to go to. my painting class was going good, we were doing lanscapes that were outside the windows of the building we were in, but it started to get too dark for the class to see what was outside. hee hee. so i walked home to my house (this is all in a turn of the century town) in the rain. my painting got ruined, which i am happy about, considering it was terrible. anyway, while i was walking home i was singing that line from "dylan in the movies" that says something about a long walk home... ah... the joy of life... *christian* ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Bob Carolgees and Spit the dog? I dunno. If I was that woman I would be a lot more annoyed about people thinking it referred to a pishy cartoon than about people thinking it was a possibly pishy band. I can certainly understand why she might be unn petit peu upset, because the day might arrive when B&S are more famous than B&S and then everything would be upside down and back to front. Of course, this can only happen if the name you "borrow" belongs to something only slightly famous. It reminds me of Mike Reid on Saturday Superstore asking Cyril Smith, "Are you a Queen fan, Cyril?" after the video for "I Want to Break Free", and Cyril replied "I'm a fan of THE Queen, yes." He also pointed out that if Freddie Mercury wanted to break free, why couldn't he do it dressed as a man? Which is a fair point. Isn't it curious, the flotsam and jetsam that clogs up our minds? As for the legal aspects, we all know that Verve made Verve change their name to The Verve, which seems highly silly to me. I thought I would investigate the matter by writing to Verve and asking them if I was in the clear, legally speaking, if I called my band Cannonball Adderley, or did I have to call it The Cannonbal Adderley? That was months ago, and they still haven't replied. Still, I haven't got my band together yet either. A WHO convention? Quick, I'll go and pinch Sebastian's cheque book while you go and see how much they'll give you for Belle at the pet shop! Those of you who have already heard the new LP are only cheating yourselves, like children who rummage around for their Christmas presents before the big day. September 7th will be just another Monday for you lot. Unless you're going to the concert. But even if you are it will be a bit less special than otherwise. Let that be a lesson to you. My friend Alan Proudfoot at Spin CDs informs me that there is a new CD of unreleased Beach Boys goodies on the market. Has he gone insane? Does anyone know anything about this? Privately, of course. Yes, I know I could fire up my web browser, but they've just doubled the price. Finally, book news! A few weeks ago I reverse recommended Terry Southern. I would now like to reverse my judgement and forward recommend Mister Southern's "Blue Movie". It's really very funny indeed, and I insist that at least some of you rush out and buy it at the earliest opportunity. Especially you, Adrian. And you, Susannah. 6.99 is what it costs in pounds.

Message-ID: <35C9957E.17DD@gold.globalcafe.co.uk> Not only does Leonard Cohen have a son, but he's now given up the worldly life and gone to live in a monastery in Tibet! Apparently he looks after all the herbs in the monastery vegetable garden and all the other monks reckon he's a dab hand with the parsley. His son regularly goes to visit him to bathe in buddhist tanquility as a break from the sordid, drugstore supporting, rock'n'roll life he leads and they have a nice summer salad and Adam asks him for songwriting advice. I only know all this because it was in a slightly surreal 'Father and son' feature in the Grauniad magazine a couple of months ago... Terry Southern.

Scenario: They'll play a song on the local independent radio station and I'll catch myself saying "Hey, this is really good" to myself. And then they'll say, among other things, "That was Rufus Wainwright". And this didn't happen just once or twice, I'd say it happened at least five or six times (with five or six different songs). So, anyway, I haven't gotten the album yet, because I'm poor and just two days ago had my wallet returned to me, no less, but I have these strong desires to do so. So when I saw Rufus Wainwright's name recommend, I had to second the emotion.

There's a much happier mix than on sinister, much brighter, with lots of wibbly keyboards and handclaps, and the drums go ba ba bab bababa every so often. As for lyrics, all I've made out so far is something about the 'man who drives minicabs down on Old Compton'; (does this herald another wave of gay/straight speculation I wonder?) and something about 'Lascivious posts', (well that would be Suzannah) and I'm sure Stuart sings 'I miss the fox'. I hope that's right, I cried when I heard that bit. I can imagine a little fox, looking round for his fey singer friend, who's deserted him, and gone to London to find fame and fortune.Aahh.

Even down a dodgy phoneline, this song sounds *amazing* on the radio! Mentioning the forthcoming appearance of Slow Graffiti on that soundtrack album to a friend last night, he said: That's cool! I said: Is it? He said: Of course - it means more people will hear Belle and Sebastian. Which sent me into a bit of a spin. Now I don't mind thousands of people buying the new record, because they'll be buying a truly wonderful thing which is all B and S. But I feel worried about Slow Graffiti being on the same CD as (wild guess) Sleeper, or the Bluetones, or whatever other crap they package together. I know I'm being a snob, but isn't anyone else a bit perplexed by this? It doesn't seem to fit easily with the band's control-freak philosophy. One more thing: could someone do me a tape of Elliott Smith? I'll make a lovely tape for you in return. Thanks.

I'm a bit bored, so I'm going to write a wee email to pass the time. When I started in this work about a year ago all the computers were named after Star Trek planets (not everyone is sad, just one bloke that started it off). Whenever I have to reinstall one of my machines (we use NT so this happens regularly) I try to start a new trend, always unsuccessfully. I have just given up on Bond girl names (complaining that Pussygalore had gone down on me again was causing too many smutty remarks - the English sense of humour is so purile). Anyway, this morning I decided I'd try Belle and Sebastian song titles. So now, one of the machines under my desk is called 'DOG_ON_WHEELS'. Artist's sons - Gill Scott Heron's dad was the first black footballer to play in the UK - he played for Celtic some time many years ago, when they still wore dead long shorts. I've gathered that B&S are predominately a Glaswegian band - does anyone know if they have any football preferences, and what they are? Going on past experience, bands with musical integrity tend to be tims (Primal Scream, Texas, Rod Stuart, Del Ametri, Simple Minds), whereas Wet Wet Wet are huns. Anyway, I'm waiting for my (strictly analogue) copy of Tigermilk to arrive - can't wait. Will the tickets for the London gig be sold out yet? I can't find a single person down here who likes B&S, so I'm going to have to arrange to import some mates from back home, but this may take time. This is way too long. _________________________________________________ Michael Barrett, Broadcast R & D, Advanced Technology Division, SONY Broadcast & Professional, Basingstoke, Hampshire, RG22 4SB, England.

Also quite hard to describe. So for these purposes if you can't answer the following questions 'yes' then i suggest you continue no further cos it may get a bit confusing: 1) Have you seen 'Where's the money, ronnie?' or 'Smalltime' by the same bloke who directed '24-7'? (they were on channel 4 recently) 2) Have you heard a song called 'crazy at the weekend' by some band? (it was a single i think and was also done acoustically on one of the programs from Glastonbury on BBC2) Right, still with me? OK, now could any of you still reading (probably about 2 of you) tell me whether the song in 2) was in the film in 1)? Also, who is it by? And, do they have an album and is it any good? For some reason i really liked the song when i heard it on the Glastonbury coverage (although i was drunk so it could be shite) and it reminded me of the song played at the end of 'Smalltime'. I know this is all bollocks and i apologise for the poor souls who read the whole thing thinking it may be interesting but it has been bugging my for ages. Cheers in advance to anyone who can help.

Yeah, but it's the *only* decent song he's done.... everything else is only good for clearing your debts ...

NOTE: we will announce to the news/sinister lists the moment we have these shirts. please do not mail me everyday till that point asking what's hapenned to them, they are coming, and as usual you'll find out first! ALSO NOTE: i do not have images of the designs or anything. so again, please don't ask for them! david kitchen (growing tired, hoping my tone isn't too bad. still excited at the same time at the prospects for the next two months - three albums from all three bands! wow.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- david kitchen : merchandising and websites : jeepster records http://www.jeepster.co.uk/ http://www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian/ mailto:shop at jeepster.co.uk jeepster recordings ltd, 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london w10 5bn to subscribe to the news mailing list mail majordomo at jeepster.co.uk with the words 'subscribe news' in the body of the message there is no need to subscribe if you are on the 'sinister' list ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a message from the Jeepster Records news mailing list.

Well she said it wasn't really sold out, more tickets would probably be released before the show, but she couldn't sell me a ticket. Fat lot of good that does me. So if any L.A. area listees have extra tickets to the show (please for the love of God, andy tell me you bought 3 tickets and not just 2), please let me know! i would very much appreciate it. Oh, and since we're on the topic of Ben Folds Five, they're quite wonderful. All of that damn "Brick" hype aside, they are indeed an aural treat. As Katie (who was up until now afraid to post to this list) and Kim have said....they rawk.

(he's also been playing tracks from the new salako lp in every show this week (colours merge and fly at 9:51 last night), sounds nice, very sixties and nothing like i'd expect from someone like james 8) 3) strange that someone asked why stuart m was 'pretending' to be left handed in the new press shot (the one in the lecture theatre) cos if you watch him spray the wall in the 'dog on wheels' video he also does this with his left hand... 4) if the threat of legal action should force a change of name i think the simplest change would be to germanise it - 'belle und sebastian' 8) that said, if i was a french women who'd had a brief spell of fame in the seventies i'd be flattered that my work had imprinted itself so fondly on a bunch of scottish rapscalians with an eye for a tune. 5) the big question about the upcoming tour is whether they are going to be using the big red a.m.k van still. we got to manchester and the taxi driver dropped us off at the back of the town hall and it's a big place and we weren't quite sure just where the gig was going to be. and then we spotted the a.m.k. van and we knew we were going to be ok... 6) a couple of things even keith missed on his roundup of side-projects and the like: sarah mentions a hobby band in the chickfactor review, i forget the name, something to do with brothers. and stevie was seen recently wowwing los angeleans playing guitar with the bmx bandits. there, 6 points, all remarkably on-topic, probably more than some of you have managed since you subscribed... andy i think i'd better point out that that picture of st lucy is kinda misleading. in reality st lucy's hair isn't quite that colour for a start... one of the manics on the big breakfast this morning saying that the two things that keep him going are sport and chips. ooh, cutting edge. this, to my mind, makes him about as dangerous and out there and intensely intense as my dad. isn't banjo kazooie great? i like the way tooty dances around whilst mumbo is playing the vibes in the opening sequence, bit of a bobby gillepsie influence there if i'm not mistaken... * alice in wonderland. or is it alice through the looking glass? i don't know. anyway, it's the red queen... == andrew dean (koogydelbbog at yahoo.com) _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

He wanted to send in this message to the list: "I say, I agree with Mister Derek!" but I wouldn't let him, because we have to parcel up our thoughts into big messages. However Basil was unimpressed. He just drew himself back and said "OOOOOooooOOOOOooooooOOOOO, Mister Peter!" and burst into a demented rendition of "Mad Dogs and Englishmen". On a lighter note, we are told that the Maryhill gigs are in aid of charity, but the identity of this charity remains a closely guarded secret. Why? Is it something unspeakable, like a Neo-Nazi Youth Impregnation Centre? On an even lighter note, I heard the Manic Street Preachers single yesterday. I thought it was really rather nice. This morning I have been listening to some rather delightful Brazillian music, Blue Brazil 1 and Blue Brazil 2. I have no reservations in recommending them unreservedly to everyone on this list.

For some reason i really liked the song when i heard it on the Glastonbury coverage (although i was drunk so it could be shite) and it reminded me of the song played at the end of 'Smalltime'. 1. I believe the film was called "Twin Town" and marketed as the "Welsh Trainspotting" i.e crap. 2. The band is "Sunhouse".

An elderly lady in tie-dye was most offended at having paid twenty bucks to see Mr.Taylor - when in fact she was treated to the jazz funk stylings of the James Taylor Quartet. What was most amusing was the way she thought we had all been taken in by this confidence trickster and his wiley Hammond Organ. "It's a SCAM!" she screamed.... Me and Audrey have done a mini version of the tape tree, which might work if anyone can be arsed. It's very low-impact. And fun. And it crosses the ocean nicely. Simply pick your partner (and if you can't pick one for yourself, the P.E. teacher will make you pair up with the only kid in the school more awkward than you, and you'll have to hold hands), get yourself a free evening and a good video shop (or store)and swap movie rental ideas. Hey Presto! It's that easy. Strangers frequently have very good taste. Audrey recommended The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, which was fantastic. Two spaces left on/in the PCH listening party. Oh go on.

And it includes James (singer) being asked which instrument he plays and replying "My favourite colour is yellow" or something like that. Bizarre. Oh, and each week they print a list of the top 10 new releases being played on the NME stereo, and the B&S album is at number one, which normally means it'll get a stonking good review... Since I haven't been able to hear Isobel's little ditties on the Treehouse web site, because they're not Real Audio or something, I was wondering if anyone had managed to get them on tape? And would be a really kind person and do me a copy? I can offer any B&S stuff under the sun in exchange... Oh, and speaking of Stuart David's site, can anyone out there provide lyrics for the Looper single?

I started out the day feeling crap because my date, who is a good friend but does have a girlfriend, bailed on me at 11pm last night: his girlfriend apparently had some issues with us attending a wedding together. So I was prepared to go and sulk and sit in the corner and get absolutely plastered (thank god for open bar weddings), but instead I actually had a good time, thanks to friends that also came single (and a little alcohol, don't get me wrong) and some bright moments from the dj, who played dance mixes of Abba, Madonna, and the Spice Girls (okay, a guilty pleasure). I, being the drama queen that I am, had to dance and shake my booty and my feather boa (baby blue to match my dress) and my silver shoes and drag various friends onto the dance floor and danced with my friend's brother, who's close to my age and a darn cute guy. So I'm a bit tipsy in that tired, dopey way, listening to the Trembling Blue Stars and feeling lovesick, thinking about the Spice Girls (a real hot topic lately for some reason, them and Volkswagen Beetles and computers) and various Perl codes, since my computer geek self always exists, especially late at night. I'm very pleased that I am getting a filing cabinet in my room, so I don't have to go to the kitchen to do my magnetic poetry. And oh yes, I'll be able to file things in it as well. Wunnerful. sleep tight, jessica Perhaps I shall start posting more often.

Where was I? Oh yes. I was driving Danielle home and had the radio tuned to the local alternative rock station, which is never particularly creative in it's playlist, but can get interesting sometimes. The song that was playing was absolutely beautiful, and the singer's voice sounded vaguely familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. THEN Mr. DJ came on and let his friendly listeners know that the song was by Elliot Smith. So can somebody tell me SOMEthing about Elliot Smith, and recommend a good album of his to start out with? 'cause I totally fell in love with his voice in whatever song it was that was playing. There's MORE! After identifying the Smith song, Mr. DJ went on to say "And lastly this evening, here's a brand new one from the world of indie rock...Belle and Sebastian!" And I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG THAT HE PLAYED!!! Obviously it was off the new album. I was just so ECSTATIC to hear them on the RADIO!!! I turned it WAY up and drove the rest of the way home in absolute bliss :) But what song was it? There was something in the lyrics about dreaming...and...there was more...but I'm a loser and I forget. I can't even remember how the song went, I was just THRILLED that my local radio station was playing B&S! As it turns out, this indie showcase is on EVERY Friday night, so from now on I'll be tuning in to hopefully catch some more cool stuff. And to think, all this time I've been listening to Friday Night Fever: Disco Request! when this other fabulous show was being broadcast just a few stations away. Life is good.

If someone says a few copies were issued but they are long gone, I will have to strangle the kind folks at Jeepster. No such title is listed at Belle & Sebastian's or Jeepster's web sites. CDEurope lists a single called "A Century of Fakers" (track 1 of "3..6..9..."). I assume this is one of their frequent mistakes. I am attempting to order "Modern Rock Song" from them, though I assume the attempt will fail. _If You're Feeling Sinister_ and the 3 EPs get frequent rotation. This music has found its way deep under my skin. Would anyone be merciful enough to copy other material? Anyone who has an ethical problem with this request should understand I would buy an original of any item available. No amount of resourcefulness will realistically turn up a copy of _Tigermilk_, though (until the reissue, for which I am standing in line while I write), and that is why I ask. I will discuss trades if that is your thing. --Mark __ Imminent: SENSELESS CD on Mindfield Records MindCD03 Cathartium 14 "The electricity is no better off than on." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I've spent YEARS reading your messages (....but where has espadrille gone! I kinda miss him... ....er, I mean him/her!) and have loads to say, but in the end it all adds up to this: 1. Ok, everyone! Stop making fun of my sig files! 2. Red Monkey: As far as I know, Red Monkey IS Rachel and the other one who run Slampt. So not Huggy bear then....? I'm in contact with the Slampt peeps and the've never said anything.... ...ho hum. 3. The Phantom Pregnancies. Thanx whoever mentioned them. W!O!W! they were good, but I'm sorry to tell you they split in '96 so all talk is now retrospective I'm afraid :-( You all HAVE to hear their track on my tape tree tape. Ok, enough of that - I've brought you back some ink polaroids from Austria - Here you go: This one is of an endless sea of cars as far as I can see. It was taken in a long stay car park in Manchester, and apart from the cars there are wiry plants and lots of dust. Only the whole dismal scene is rendered beautiful by 'Catholic Education,' the chimes of which turn it into something much nicer. This one is of all of us sitting in one of the rooms in the 'Pension Silvia.' To the left of the picture is my mother. She's reading 'The Game' by A.S. Byatt. Next to her on the sofa is my stepdad Lance, reading 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin'. On the right is my sister Katie lying on the bed in a position intended not to mess up her hair, but.... ....failing miserably. She's reading 'The Colour Of Magic' with occasional giggles. In the foreground of the picture you can see I'm reading 'Nana' by Emile Zola. The curtains are closed 'cos it's late at night. This one is of of the side of the Wolfgangsee. At the side is a little shop taking photos of people in sepia tones and victorian clothing. In the centre- left is a jetty leading out to the ferry port with a line of sweaty tourists lining up. Also in the centre two German girls of about ten have released their scraggy and sodden mongrels. The dogs are trying to attack the 2 swans who have been there for ages undisturbed. On a bench in front of them an old Englishman tells another old Englishman that he's seen a swan kill a dog. On the right of the picture is the White Horse Hotel, subject of an operetta by someone. I'm reading the end of 'Nana' and poor Zizi has just stabbed himself with Nana's scissors. This one is two German girls whose smiles follow me as I walk down the street. They must be seventeen or so, and as they sit on the bench and I continue to walk away from them down the hill, I keep turning and they are still looking at me. behind them is a copse and an unbelievably steep hill with a speck of a man mowing it. This one is of the Dwarf Garden in Salzburg. All around a loop of a path are stone statues of dwarfs of various occupations and the rest of the garden is full of trees under which Me, my mother and my sister find the only shelter in an incredibly hot day. Under the wall at the edge of the garden is a wall where three men sit and sing and play a guitar and a flute. They look like something out of a french arthouse film - perhaps 'Jules et Jim' but with three men. This one is in the lobby of the 'Pension Silvia'. The lobby is decorated with lots of austrian flowers, and outside the steps can be seen leading down to the road. Mike, the Airtours rep is looking uncomfortable wearing a bright red uniform. His cool sunglasses only draw attention to how old and worn out he looks. he's just said he spends every summer season here, and Silvia, the owner of the place, has suddenly gone all shy and girlish. She's 45 or so and here face is so red you wouldn't believe it. My family all look thoughtful as they have read the subtext. This is England again, somewhere in Manchester. It looks like England really does, overcut a-road verges and lots of tarmac. It looks a little dull and soulless, but to me it looks like home and I love it. I hope you enjoyed them! they are fun to do - I may try more. I think someone should compile a best-of compilation of Sinister ink polaroids. In fact, maybe I will...... But don't hold your breath. If someone does it we should all send them our addresses and they can send us a copy. hey, maybe Honey Paul could put it on the site.

Doesn't the impossibility of something that good just make your brain hurt? Don't you want to yell but be quiet, and dance but be still, and grin but weep like hell? Don't you want to spread the word but hug it close to you like a child, tell the world but cherish your secret, soak up the pleasure but feel the pain?

The poem I want to delight you all with is in my old house, and is unlikely to be available before tomorrow, Monday. Therefore I propose a looser arrangement, in keeping with the spirit of Mad Dog Murdoch's early demo recordings. As everyone knows, parrots can squawk at any time, it all depends who pulls their tails and when. This parrot squawks out great long chunks of poetry, almost at random, when its tail is pulled in the proper manner. I shall undertake this implausible act as soon as possible, and I hope it will be worth it. The parrot is also capable of delivering complex biographical material, parrot-fashion. 2) The list might be a nail, but it used to be a drawing pin. Hopefully, after this flurry of enthusiasm (most welcome, of course) it will revert to its old drawing pin self and Basil Brush's frankly ridiculous demands for tighter immigration control can be swept back under the carpet where they belong. 3) After all the attention she's been attracting on this list, I'm not at all surprised that Saint Lucy has been signed up for an advertising campaign in the United States of America. I'm sure the product or service in question will be hugely successful. 4) 810 pounds! Excellent work! I sincerely hope that the patients enjoy listening to it. Hmmm, I hardly think that that poor quality joke can masquerade as a genuine implausible thing, not after Andy's phenomenal work on Friday....the cult-like ludicrousness of the handedness debate arose from my own desire to find out whether the photograph in question had been printed back to front, as sometimes happens, meaning that Mad Dog Murdoch would really be writing with his right hand, and Chris would be making funny "bwww bwww bwww" noises with his lips at the front of the lecture hall. I am convinced that there was no diabolical involvememnt in the staging of this photo, honest. 5) Just when Roddddney's messages about Robbie Williams were becoming a bit of light relief amongst the Adam Cohen messages, he goes and blots his copybook by accusing stickman Paul of plundering his plus signs. I for one find the constant changes in Paul's footers highly entertaining, a kind of barometer of his settee-boundness. Yes, I would like ice in that, please, and a quick flash of lacy cleavage. Birthday celebrations? Some kind of cake would seem to be in order. And some drugs. 6) Yesterday I went out to cheer on the disgraced drug-addled professional cycling troupe as they hurtled pêle mêle through my new home town. Leading the way was a car with a huge inflatable Festina digital watch on top. No wonder suspicions arose. Anyway, it was very good, very colourful and very hot. I have no idea how to make this relevant to Belle and Sebastian. I hope everyone has had a go at Chris Leonard's excellent B&S competition. You can always get a grown up to help if you find the mathematics difficult.

Does anyone have a miraculous cure for the constant itching of insect bites? My birthday party on fri. was spent outside enjoying the amazing weather, but the smoke from the various charred uneaten remains failed to keep the insects at bay and now I have one bite on my nose and another on my cheek, and it looks as though I have the worst acne ever (despite my old age) and they are itching like crazy. Very attractive. However I did manage to blast Belle and Sebastian at full volume making sure all the neighbours had the pleasure as well as my guests. Someone got me Filth for my birthday, and I read it on sat. Basically all Irvine Welsh has to do is think up a character and then introduce lots of drugs and sex and corruption (oh, and a talking tapeworm?!) and hey presto a bestseller. entertaining, but I'm glad I didn't pay for it. Isn't it sad how fame and fortune usually waters down talent?

So, i've just received the Action records update (http://www.action-records.co.uk) , and they happen to sell this album : 127331 I SALAKO - 6 TR.SAMPLER.PIC CDS 1.99 It's not the single...it's not the forthcoming album... So, what is it? Thanks! By the way, I do love the Salako single (but i've already said it before) Stephane +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: <19980810153652.19263.qmail@hotmail.com> Based on all the rave reviews Rufus Wainwright has gotten on this list, I went out and bought his new C.D. on Saturday. I was so desperately disappointed in it that I just wanted to cry, I mean it was awful. Normally, I can find maybe one or two songs worth salvaging on a C.D. but this--there was nothing. Incidentally, Rufus Wainwright is the son of Loudin Wainwright, folk hero on par with Dylan, even. All my hope is lost for famous sons. Anyway, I don't want to offend anyone who feels that R. Wainwright is some sort of musical genius, I just wish I hadn't been so rash in buying it straight off. When is Paul McCartney's son going to record something?

I had a minor seizure and went on to explain to my friend just who I was convulsing over. Anyway, the reason I even mention this is that I was wondering if anyone on the list wrote that. I mean, it had to take some time to write this being that the walls are red and it was written in white ink/paint. Personally, I wouldn't write something like that if I didn't mean it. Agreed? And I would also like to thank that person who wrote it for making my experience in the bathroom a pleasant one.

Message-ID: Hello sexpots, Musical boxer shorts indeed. I kind of like the idea though, if anyone could find me some I would be truly thankful. This weekend some of us had a nice time in London. Sit down, and I will tell you all about it using that time-honoured medium, the ink polaroid. 1 Scene: Po Caf, Cov Gdn. Up on the roof, as the song says, Trews, Mike (Steady), Pam, Keith and his entourage of adoring women. And little me. Andrew Dean has gone home, because he has finished his egg sandwiches. By the light of the silvery moon, as the song says, we are drinking bouze and engaging in possibly slanderous gossip about... well, let's be brutally honest...you lot. And you will never know what we said...hahahaha. Later, Trousers and Keef don fake moustaches, rather nifty motorcycle caps, vests, and leather chaps and go cruising. Both claim to be looking for "hot pumping rubber action". Some of this paragraph was made up. 2 Scene: Tufnell Park, Norf London. Keef has just become becomes strangely excited on seeing a sign which announces that Haringey is 2 miles by bicycle. "It's a sign!", exclaims Tag. For once in his life, he was right. 3 A club near Oxford Circus. The DJ's (two menbers of Earl Brutus) are playing "Rock me Amadeus". At some point during the evening Keith and Tag have exchanged their dignity for several bottles of Becks and are dancing. Like fuckers. Oh yes. Later, Tag will be seen slumped in a corner declaring that "More than a feeling" is the "best fucking record ever" to anyone who'll listen. Worryingly, he does not regret this in the morning. 4 The London to Manchester train. In a carriage where the air-conditioning has failed. Four Manchester United fans with large scars on their faces indulge in playful banter with the British Transport Police. "How would you like it if I got your truncheon and twatted the living shit out of you?", says one jolly fellow to our friendly local Bobby. Tag is very, very frightened. Belle and Sebastian content?

Sure he was handsome, but the girls always found a way to turn him down. By the time he put the finishing touches to the Indian Burns, it was suddenly clear he had, quite by accident, become a master of catchy hooks, subtle phrasing, and tense, self-lacerating lyrics. How had he gotten there? Many evenings of jangly strummed guitar, propping the guitar against his bent knee, for fear the strap would exacerbate his back condition. He credits the History Channel, the many proprietors of free access internet porn groups, and curry, in its myriad forms, for shaping his unique vision of corruption, decay, brutality, and no solace. "A boot in the face of mankind forever," is the mantra he picked up from Orwell. Gavin was a veteran of single parenthood and the early 80's punk rock scene: he had the hairline to prove it. After replacing Thurston Moore on guitar for often shirtless linguist and Noam Chomsky-opponent Michael Bord's band Artless, he toured the United States and Europe countless times, scoring a top 100 hit in Norway before he was through. He lives in a large creaky storage building cluttered with the mindless junk of a now-expired neo-Nazi architect and his gay Buddhist son. For the meantime, he has turned to criticism in an attempt to make others pay for his thwarted creative genius. Our protagonists met under the not-so-benevolent gaze of a revisionist Marxist philosopher and crazed sex fiend who shall remain nameless. Wesley was arrogant and dictatorial since the day he was born. Humility and submission were pounded into him every day of his blighted youth, to no avail. Observe how he prances about the stage. Witness, if you dare, the dreaded karate dance. The Weather Fields were raised in an atmosphere of indifference and spite. All their casual greatness as pop songwriters, performers, and instrumentalists seems to come as an afterthought. It serves to prove the injustice of life on this planet. It would be difficult to imagine two more unworthy conduits of musical greatness, and yet there they are: sending jolts of current into the collective consciousness that can awaken us and spur us to reach for our better selves.

Message-ID: <199808111531.QAA13370@irwell.zetnet.co.uk> So there am I, living a life of musical isolation in a desolate part of Buckinghamshire's aesthetic mortuary of a county town. Most of my friends have grown old beyond their facial hair, and defend their middle-of-the-road taste with mocking disinterest as I shake the earwax from their tongues and cobwebs from their groins with an obscenely loud copy of Me & The Major, whilst tapping my foot to the music and causing the car to pulsingly spurt into more and more rapid movement. But to no avail. None of them are turned on by the poetry, the beauty. Yet there is one. One last ray of hope - a friend who is younger and more adventurous than the rest. A friend who sometimes accuses me of the same disinterest in her music that my older friends have in mine. Whilst I edge daily towards middle age, she runs fast in the opposite direction. One day I'll catch her, and then I'll run that way too. But she's away; in the good old US of A, chasing a dream. She'll be back in time for the London gig, but will she want to go? Will she be free to go? I tussle with the idea of buying a pair of tickets anyway, just in case, but a freak accident that sees me going mad on a scooter round the back roads of Rome prevents me being able to order them. But now she's back. She'd love to go. I try to order, but too late. My soul is gone, torn from my body by the fiendish vampire at the other end of the line. Just two words, and my euphoria turns to anguish. Just two words. "Sold Out." So I turn to my last resort, to those hundreds of friends that I don't even know. Not in the real word, but only by words, only by thoughts. But what are we, if we're not a collection of thoughts. And those thoughts are so rich, so varied, so kind, that I know I can call you all my friends. And so I beg to you, plead to you, offer you sexual favours that you won't want when you see me, and generally prostrate myself before you. Please, for all that is good, for all that is bad, and for all that is sinister, if anyone has two tickets for the London gig that they no longer need, please consider the despair of one of your closest, yet most distant friends. That's me, in case you didn't get it. Mail me. Name your price. But don't be greedy - I'm your friend, and she's but a student. Your reward will come in the life after this; a life in the fur of a big white dog, where the rivers flow with tigermilk and St. Lucy stands at the gate to welcome you in. And school dinners are permanently available. Unless you'd prefer a packed lunch.

Hello to you too, Joss. Get well soon, eh ? On the subject of films, I'd like to recommend one. I'm not really a film fan. The vast majority I get to see are at best watchable but cliche ridden, at worst a disgusting waste of ridiculous amounts of money. The fact that so many films are tampered with to fit in with a marketing departments ideas of what the public want also grates.. Still ... Dead Man, by Jim Jarmusch. A synopsis: DEAD MAN tracks a young man's Homeric odyssey through the nineteenth-century American West. Lost and badly wounded, William Blake (Johnny Depp) encounters an outcast Native American named "Nobody" (Gary Farmer). Contrary to Blake's nature, circumstances transform him into a hunted outlaw, a killer and a man whose physical existence is slowly slipping away. The story leads the two men through situations that are in turn comical and violent, which ultimately change their unlikely union into friendship. It wasn't a particular hit with the critics when it came out (1995). The beginning sequence seems to be the stumbling block for them. Too long, too boring. Er, no, seven minutes of beautiful scene setting, twats. There's a cool Neil Young angular-twangy-guitar-chops soundtrack. And a couple of hilarious cameos, including Billy Bob Thornton as Big George and Iggy Pop as Salvatore 'Sally' Jenko. BTW, did anyone mention Romuald et Juliette in their list of ace French films. Or have I picked another turkey as a favourite ? Turt Big George: That's terrible. Sally: It's horrible. Big George: Terrible is what it is. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

They're alright by me, and as far as songs getting overplayed on the radio, you can do a whole lot worse than "Brick." (Seven Mary Three, anyone? How about a bit of Marcy Playground?) The fact that they're hep to the B&S scene only sweetens things in my eye. And who would thought that a copy of "Tigermilk" would make its way to the Keenan Ivory Wayans Show? Too bad you didn't have an extra one for Wayans. "Lost Highway" is pretty far from David Lynch's best film. I think that the fact that Marilyn Manson was thrown into it in an apparent attempt to stay current says it all. Lynch has been trying to catch up for a while. I saw him do a Q&A session not that long ago, and he's pretty unforthcoming. I think if he could have, he would have answered most questions with a shrug, a smirk, and a "Well, why do you think donkey was speaking French in my movie?" -Keith P +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Me can't wait to get me grubby mitts on the new album ... *get in line, eh?* * Apart from some great musicianship & songs like "Alice Childress", I quickly jumped off the BFF bandwagon by the time that 2nd album was released. Someone PLEASE pair Ben up with a lyricist ... seriously. The whole preening, pandering, gifted high-schooler "I was never cool in school" sentiment really wears thin after a while (and yes, you may throw Barenaked Ladies, et al in that pile as well ... "Brian Wilson" is a shudder-inducing song). Brown eyes were also opened wide once I heard Elton & co.'s superlative 11-17-70 album ... Reg wrote the book and then some a long, long time ago. * About a remark about how Q is more for "older" folks: trust me, if you were over here in the States and surrounded by pandering, self-important, out-of-touch "music magazine" corporate Frankensteins like Rolling Stone (Spin to a lesser degree), your parents' copy of Q would suddenly bask in a heavenly glow. (In all fairness to Spin, they put IFYS in their 1997 top 20). To go against typical heavy fan sentiments of "I saw them first!" and "They're mine, Mine, MINE!" (fortunately which generally doesn't happen around here, which is definitely refreshing), I honestly can't wait until B&S get a little more exposure over here in the States. Granted, airplay on typical "alternative" radio over here will be next to impossible, unless there's some sort of shitto fake ska single ... fortunately, highly doubtful. Back on track with my original thoughts, one word of advice: NO interviews with Rolling Stone, please. In fact, bring legal action against RS if they even mention the band in any way, shape, or form. It ain't woith it! Besides, knowing how "hip" RS considers themselves to be, they won't "discover" B&S until 2003, and by then the world will be completely dessimated by the y2k bug anyhow. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

This is from memory, as I'm not fashionable enough to actually buy the magazine. The title track is the Bay City Rollers recorded in a church hall. Seymour Stein is a country lament to the record company executive, and Is It Wicked Not to Care casts Isobel Campbell as a sixties folkstress. Sublime AND ridiculous. Pithy AND pissy, I'd say. Went to see Armageddon on Friday night. Don't bother! This film will give you a headache. I watched half an hour of it with my eyes shut because I couldn't bear to see any more stupid special effects. On to books, if any of you still haven't read The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, you are being very silly indeed. Another great one is Eucalyptus by Murray Bail, an Australian writer. It's a fairy tale and is totally lovely. XFM seem to keep playing the same three songs over and over again. Have they been sent a copy of the whole album, or just a selection of songs.

That's me. Or one of them is me. I like hearing people talk about it when they've heard it on the radio though. >weird huh? people who can lay their hands on the thing turn it down!? That's not me. Incidentally, it sounds like a Sid Krassman line from "Blue Movie". Not only do I not want to hear, read or see the album before it's released, I won't be hearing it until at least two weeks after it's released, as I fully intend to take advantage of Jeepster's fantastic V!A!T! free on-line shopping facilities. If everyone keeps going on about how good Salako are I might get that too. I liked "Dead Man" very much. I also liked "Lost Highway", even though I didn't understand any of it. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I really like the little man who says "I'm in your house". The music's good, I don't think it's an attempt to be with it and groovy. It reminds me of another nice film, "The Doom Generation". I think of that film whenever we get a message from our Transatlantic cousins about record shops. I also think about the video to 1979 (?) by Smashing Pumpkins. Are you all like that? I'm like Blakey in "On the Buses". I remember "The Girl in the Picture", but not much. Big windows that let in the light. WHO fans: I once met one in Pasajes Antxo, which is the pits of the world, very late at night. He was quite old and was wearing a WHO t-shirt. In a spirit of alcoholic bonhommie, reminiscent of Rab C. Nesbitt's "Bandage! Bandage!" incident on holiday in Spain, I went up to him and gestured enthusiastically at his WHO t-shirt. He completely freaked me out by beckoning me closer to him and giving me a quiet but spirited private rendition of "We are the mods, we are the mods, we are, we are, we are the mods!"

Yeah, but they don't cover anything good anymore =) No, just kidding, I realize that what I call good and what someone else calls good are different things, but... AP is in a swift downward spiral, marked recently by their 7" reviews shrinking from a 1-2 page spread to a paltry 1/2 page column. Not only that, but there are easily a hundred wonderful albums that come out every year that don't grace the pages of AP, not to mention many many singles. I think that 90% of the new music I buy never gets a mention there. Save your money, buy a fanzine, get a real opinion and avoid all those Marilyn Manson interviews while you're at it.

For some reason I continue to subscribe to that rag... Maybe because I they do occasionally turn me on to something I might not otherwise have known of, or might have underestimated. I am not into much of anything discussed in Rolling Stone. My taste is all over the map, but leans toward esoteric electronica. I very much doubt I would have discovered Belle & Sebastian based on the description from the people at the records store: British indie-pop that sounds like The Zombies? No, I'd pass on that quickly. And I think you'd agree that description does the band no justice. The Rolling Stone review did make it clear that anyone favorably inclined toward wordy, poetic, somewhat pastoral pop, played by a rather large ensemble, should check into B&S. Which, happily, I did. As I recall, they gave the album 3-1/2 stars. --Mark __ Imminent: SENSELESS CD on Mindfield Records MindCD03 Cathartium 14 "The electricity is no better off than on." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Ah, the ugly American indie view of music raises it's head: Anything that gets played on Modern Rock stations is automatically bad. Want a band that you can rag on and no one will challenge you on? Look no further than Billboards Modern Rock charts: Marcy Playground, Barenaked Ladies, any one of them will do. Easy as pie, and you don't have to have any of those pesky "reasons". So how long until we hear the first mentions of, "I liked Belle and Sebastian until that crap third album"? Probably around the time: a) they get played on anything other than college stations b) a fraternity/sorority member says they like them or c) Rolling Stone does a feature article.

The first time I realised this was when I bought the Tindersticks' live album. Months of waiting after hearing them live, and then one day it finally appears on my doormat in a fat brown envelope. As I carefully clicked the disc from its casing it occurred to me that once I pressed play, I would never ever again know what it felt like not to know what it would sound like. I would never again be able to appreciate the anticipation. I'll go out an buy The boy...on the day of release, with only radio snippets to keep me going until then. Then I'll listen to it. And then I'll realise that I won't hear many new songs for a very long time... As for the manics. It's an old theme, but the new song is a little bit too much by numbers.

Forgive me if I repeat myself -- I forget what I've told people in private email, versus here. But other artists who share the poetic melacholy I mentioned, or simply make well-refined pop: Prefab Sprout, The Blue Nile, Saint Etienne, The Smiths. B&S do bear a slight resemblance to some of The Kinks' material, like _Village Green Preservation Society_ which a friend played for me a few times. Another friend commented that B&S reminded him of some artists on the Sarah label. The Field Mice are the only ones I know. Would you say Northern Picture Library or Trembling Blue Stars is a significant development beyond The Field Mice? Their naivete and greeting-card sentiment was endearing, but that could become tiresome after a few more years of it. --Mark __ Imminent: SENSELESS CD on Mindfield Records MindCD03 Cathartium 14 "The electricity is no better off than on." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

After hearing this clip, there is a bit of a resemblance to some of Prefab Sprout. I'd not start with _Andromeda Heights_ or _From Langley Park to Memphis_. Those lack a certain spark, and seem a bit precariously balanced between "hit-pop" and "art-pop". For the more rough-hewn, acoustic side, try _Swoon_ or _Protest Songs_. For the sparkly production and poetic melachonly, try _Steve McQueen_ (aka _Two Weels Good_ in the US). For interlocking suites of divine pop thrills, try _Jordan: The Comeback_. The Catholic-boy-dreamer aspect, in common with B&S, is undeniable.

Don't mince your words do you debbie? As for me, the more manics I listen to, the more interviews I read, and the more manics fanzines I read, the more pretentious and soundbite-obsessed they seem to me. It's five years now and the only thing that stands up to scrutiny is 'The Holy Bible.' Apart from 'Archives of pain' - It leaves me with a very bad taste in my mouth to like a band who advocate murder. And ok, chumbawamba, the lightning seeds and space aren't the coolest most credible bands around, but they are quite pop or even P!O!P! and there's nothing wrong with that.

Message-ID: <01bdc691$22137520$LocalHost@itjfvkli> Good morning children! For this morning's assembley we're going to have a bit of poetry. Unfortunately the poem I had chosen is far too long, and the list would collapse beneath the weight of a thousand failed "Unsubscribe sinister" messages. It was called "Parsley", written by Rita Dove. You can look it up if you like. It's very good, good enough for an uneducated clog-dancing oaf like me to remember it anyway. In the meantime, I have chosen another poem by the same person. See if you can guess why I chose it.... THE ZEPPELIN FACTORY by Rita Dove The zeppelin factory needed workers, all right -- but, standing in the cage of the whale's belly, sparks flying off the joints and noise thundering, Thomas wanted to sit right down and cry. That spring the third largest airship was dubbed the biggest joke in town, though they all turned out for the launch. Wind caught, "The Akron" floated out of control, three men in tow -- one dropped to safety, one hung on but the third, muscles and adrenalin failing, fell clawing six hundred feet. Thomas at night in the vacant lot: Here I am, intact and faint-hearted. Thomas hiding his heart with his hat at the footbal game, eyeing the Goodyear blimp overhead: Big boy I know you're in there. ------------------------------------------ Right, go back to your classrooms - WITHOUT any noise! - and get your sums books out.

I bought a CD walkman thingy a month ago or so, and I bought a pile of batteries with it. I stuffed them in, expecting the batteries to run out fairly swiftly, however, the walkman has an option to plug itself in, which I do each day at work - plugging it in, is supposed to recharge the batteries (it claims that it has a safety mechanism built in for not charging non-rechargable batteries, which I seem to remember makes them explode). However, after a while I realized that my alkaline normal batteries in the walkman were not actually running out. So I checked how much power there was in them using the cunning little Duracell thingy on the side of them - and they were full, after countless hours of use, so the only explanation I can come up with is that the unit is recharging them somehow by day - which would seem unlikely given that they're not liquid batteries. I changed the batteries in it before going to London last week and used the walkman a lot on the train down and back up and stuff, I checked these batteries this morning before coming into work and they were half full, and after half a day of having it plugged in at work, they now claim to be full again. What's going on?

It's all to do with the little elves that live inside your machine and the kind of music you play. Now we all know that Keith's taste in music is without parallel and that's why the batteries last so long. The elves inside are getting down with such abandon to the top tunes that he just can't help but spin that they don't need any music juice from the batteries. The music juice is only used when duff tunes appear; to lubricate their way out of the machine and through the headphones. Normally the elves do this themselves but when the music ceases to "rule" for a second they need some extra help that batteries provide. Try this at home - just slip "Ma he's making eyes at me" by Lena Zavaroni on your walkman - you'll eat up those AA's like there's no tommorrow. "OK then Mr TechnoPixie" I'm sure you're saying "What about on the train - Keith says that used up some of his batteries - how do you explain that you overgrown child whose inane fantasy life really needs better exercising than here on a kick-ass music list - and don't think that going on about Elves and pixies will get you anymore list crushes - you were bloody lucky to get one so don't go pushing your luck Mister...." Well, I'll explain. One of the unknown side effects of the privatisation of British Railways was that the trains were taken over be evil malevolent sprites who didn't care for dancing or merry making of any sort. The disco pixies who live inside walkmen are scared to dance (The Skids wrote a song about all of this...) and they lay low unable to stop the music juice resources being depleted. And because the elves are hiding they can't do anything about some of the music leaking out of your headphones and running madly around the carriage instead of interfacing directly with your brain material (as Chris Morris would say). That's why you can always hear other people's music on a train. xx John +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

The mighty oak of Sinister can only flourish in ever-replenished soil, and so, to remedy this potentially calamitous situation, for several months now we have been employing workshy students on their summer recess to venture deep into the cobwebbed catacombs of The Archives by candlelight. We paid them with Spangles. Some of the students were never to return from these perilous regions, but do not weep... They were only Media Studies students. And they died to serve the greater good. So let me dandle you a while on the knee of Old Uncle Trousers, as I bring you.... THE STORY OF SINISTER. Part I: The Early Years Date ????BC* A traveller from The North brings news of ‘delightfulle mufic’ among the Pictish hordes. Enthused by these rumours, a young cleric by the name of Andrewe Dene ventures into these godless, pestiferous regions as part of a Sabre-Toothed-Tiger Safari. Hearing the queer minstrellry emanate from the forests at night, he feverishly takes primitive field recordings, etching the notation into stone tablets. Since he belongs to an ascetic cult which forbids the consumption of flesh or wine, Dene is nourished in his labours solely by the produce of the local dairy. Hence his recordings become known as “Ye Sabre Toothed Tiger Milk” tablets. *Date illegible due to the vandalism of Viking invaders several centuries later, who covered the archives with crude Norse etchings... Scholars suggest an approximate translation as ‘This is pish’ etc. Date 23BC The cult of Brother Dene’s recordings spreads thoughout the country. By the banks of the Thames, an innocent Kitchen-worker, David, is granted a mysterious epiphany as he burns the day’s Cake... a Voice commands him to take his wench Katrina and establish a Holy Order, based on The New Music, the wearing of Velour, and strange hilltop rituals, known as ‘picnics’. Shunned and laughed at by the locals, the couple take refuge high in the branches of a tree near modern day Kew Bridge. Meanwhile, The Word spreads... 50AD Advances in modern technology lead to the formation of a network, uniting the far-flung members of the fledgling cult. Through observation of the heavens, and careful study of ley-lines, the brilliant druid Pol Mitchelle deduces that a centre should be founded in the small village of Edinburgh. With techniques later used in the construction of Stonehenge, huge obelisks bearing messages of crucial importance are dragged vast distances by teams of highly-trained mammoths. God-fearing Christians rightly term this unseemly activity ‘Sinister’. 65AD The first message arrives in Edinburgh. Sadly it is obscured by mammoth dung. 70AD The second message arrives, bearing only the mysterious rune ‘P----O----P?’. Detailed study of the calligraphy makes it clear that it is a message of peace from a terrible Warlord somewhere in the vicinity of Harringay...

The Field Mice are the only ones I know. Would you say Northern Picture Library or Trembling Blue Stars is a significant development beyond The Field Mice? Their naivete and greeting-card sentiment was endearing, but that could become tiresome after a few more years of it.>> Well, I'm *really* biased about this, because TBS' Lips That Taste of Tears is one of my favourite records of this year - probably the only new lp that I've played to death (I've been buying lots of singles instead, they're more pop, or indeed P!O!P!, & cheaper to boot). It's long, slightly meandering, and varied, but when it's good, it's damned good. And he is one of the few people who seem interested in melding guitars and (above all) fully developed lyrics to different kinds of sounds and beats. Not having been particularly precocious, and not being inordinately wealthy either, I don't know that much of the Field Mice's stuff, but I did decide a couple of weeks ago that "Sensitive" was the best song ever made (if only for that week, when it was continually on my walkman) - which *isn't* greeting-card or naive or any of those things, just *beautiful*, and much more direct than you'd expect from their reputation - and Northern Picture Library's "Paris" isn't far behind. The B&S comparison's more valid than a lot that I've heard - Stone Roses?! - although it's partly to do with the unabashed sensitivity (for want of a better word) of both groups. "Sensitive" and "Paris" are both on the last Sarah compilation, "There and Back Again Lane", which doesn't cost 75 dollars, or whatever people are trying to get for Field Mice singles, so there's no excuse... And there is going to be a lovely Field Mice retrospective soon, so you can all decide whether the comparisons are at all justified (look at the Shinkansen website if you don't believe me). Oh, incidently, I was told last week that someone's made off with the signpost of the real There and Back Again Lane, in Bristol. Not big, or clever. The other Sarah band I've heard likened to B&S are The Orchids, who shared a dancey tendency with the Field Mice's later stages - I've just got some tapes of their stuff, which I haven't had a chance to listen to properly yet, but I'd say that "Electronic Renaissance" is the closest reference point. That and a similar Scottish slightly mumbly vocal style (that's supposed to be complimentary). Hell, there are other people around who are much better qualified to say all this stuff that I am... Also, I've decided that I'm going to wait until the new B&S record is released until I hear it - I've just got this rather romantic notion that it'll be so much nicer to carry it home in a plastic bag and listen to it lovingly while looking at the sleeve... sigh...

Rod is right. "The Idler" is full of the sort of writing we should all aspire to. Sarcastic, well-informed, politically incorrect in all the right places, and in none of the wrong ones. There's Louis Theroux's unfinished jokes...where he has the idea for something funny, which he can't quite get a punchline for, but he uses it anyway (damn good idea, how many times have good jokes fallen by the wayside for want of a punchline); the Days Out bit where the reviewer lists the most spectacularly boring places to go and praises them - along the lines of "you'd have to be fucking mad to miss Tarquin and Camilla's eight week basket weaving course in rural Dorset". There was a really good article entitled "Nice" a while back, which was just a list of low-key but lovely things you see on trains, or buses, or in the street which somehow cheer you up. And they had a whole piece on balconies once, and how great they were. Oh yes, sorry. The Idler strikes the right balance between witty cynicism at careerism and the work ethic, pleasure from simple things, and plain old subversive decadence. And it rules. Sorry, if you know all this already. But in spirit I think it's far more on-topic than the rabid dribblings of Manics fans, or yet another mail saying "oh-I-like-Ben-Folds-Five-too-they're-good".

If you can get hold of their first album (10" vinyl, natch), 'Lyceum' you'll be in for an absolute treat. No 'dance element', but eight very gorgeous pop songs. The best thing Sarah records ever put out, anyone ? You could ask someone to tape it for you. Hey you could ask me. But you'll have to get in a small queue, cos I owe his lordship the D of H a tape. Speaking of which, sorry I haven't written Alastair, but I've been all over the shop lately, honest. And have you got the Bats brill 12" 'Made Up In Blue' cos if you haven't I can put it on the tape. You're gonna get a C90 now, cos there's too many Richard Buckner songs to do justice too.

This is my first post, being one of the numerous recent converts. B&S has been a soundtrack to many events of the past year since I discovered them last summer in Massachussetts. I've since met numerous fanatics who have, once testing my faith, let me hear copies of bbc sessions, live nyc shows, and the much coveted tigermilk. Needless to say I became a follower. So now I am in Dublin working at a bar and making the best of it. One goal of coming to this part of the world was being closer to a possible B&S gig. So I am awaiting patiently news of upcoming shows. It would be painfully ironic if they took off for the states and I missed them while they were here, and there when I go home. I'm quiting my job at the end of august and heading off on one of those backpacking hostel deals that so many people seem to be fond of at this time of the year. Scotland, England, and a few other places are all on the agenda. If anybody could suggest events, places, festivals, cheap eats, or lush fields to see in my travels I would be much appreciated. Me and about fifteen other people were treated to the amazing Michael Hurley here in Dublin the other night. I don't know if many of you have heard of him but he's this old american folk singer who has been kicking around since the early sixties. He played with the likes of the Holy Modal Rounders and the Clamtones. He's generated a renewed interest in the indie world as being 'outsider folk', which as far as I can tell means he's been ignored his whole career. Anyway, it was a great show, with sad ballads and goofy songs about flowers and refusing to work. Having to come to a cypercafe and spend inordinate amounts of money for email, I don't know how active I can be on the list. I've seen the future and it looks expensive.

I've just spent the whole afternoon listening to it. All. My pleasure knows no bounds, it's true, Keith's taste in music is without parallel. And the person who first recommended "Stormbringer" - name escapes me, likes a punt on the horses and dancing round the room with his kids. Connolly? Anyway, top one, not a million miles away from the B&S "vibe". John Martyn's voice seems to have changed quite a lot over the years. Yes Keith, Clippo the Helpful Paper Clip is a fucking twat. I have no idea why your batteries don't run out, but please keep me informed. If they don't run out every five minutes, I'll treat myself to one too. Most of them have little stickers on them making outlandish claims like "35 minutes battery time" and so on, which has always put me off.

Yeah, the Field Mice were fab. I have to confess, I like them a weensy bit more than B&S. Maybe I'll change my mind when the new album comes out... Anyway, I suppose I can see a vague kind of connection between the Field Mice & B&S. I think that it's more their common influences (Nick Drake, Felt, 60's pop, the Go-Betweens) than B&S being influenced by the Field Mice. I guess it stands to reason that a B&S fan has a good chance of liking the Field Mice as well. Northern Picture Library are very different-sounding, though. At times they were similar to the Field Mice (an example would be the brilliant and already mentioned "Paris") but mostly they were fairly different-sounding from the Field Mice, mining a lot of electronic & wall-of-sound things, coming off at different times similar to later MBV (but better if you ask me) or St. Etienne. In other words, not much like B&S. Still, very very very good, though. And what's more, virtually everything they did is still in print. Too bad "Paris" and the 3 other songs they released on Sarah aren't, though =( > for Field Mice singles, so there's no excuse...

I think the retrospective will come out sooner. As a fan who was 9 years old when they formed, I think it's good that they are giving us the opportunity to hear their songs again without paying a ton of money. > The other Sarah band I've heard likened to B&S are The Orchids, who > shared a dancey tendency with the Field Mice's later stages - I've > just got some tapes of their stuff, which I haven't had a chance to > listen to properly yet, but I'd say that "Electronic Renaissance" is > the closest reference point.

Idunno, it's all a matter of what you listen for. Personally I liked the last Orchids album better than Lyceum. I've yet to hear a song of theirs I enjoyed more than "Avignon." Wonderful. > Hell, there are other people around who are much better qualified to > say all this stuff that I am...

I picked it up onnce, following a similar recommendation from McRagtag. It had Alex from Blur on the cover, and (unless I'm very much mistaken) he was having flying lessons. Being terribly working class, all this just contributed to my impression of its crapness. But it's only fair to point out that everything I saw seemed crap on that particular day. It was in Leicester. Funkyseb: Not ska again, please! Mick is a fantastic trumpet player and, no doubt, a great bloke, but ska? No. Sorry, No. I'm very much in favour of ska music. I'm going to get some one day. Quite possibly "The Best of Don Drummond", who murdered his wife. Probably because she said Don was a great trombone player and, no doubt, a great bloke, but ska? No way, Don. 2-Tone is my cup of tea too. Do Nothing. Ska is one of the poppiest forms of pop in pop history. Speaking of wife murdering, the neighbours are arguing. It looks like there's more chance of husband murdering though. Tomorrow we're going to a pre-nuptial celebration in some vulture infested mountains, enabling us to play my favourite form of Chicken - who can lie still the longest. I hope those Liverpudlian ones from The Jungle Book are there.

You've just earnt yourself a huge amount of bonus points for liking the unreleased album in a different order to the one chosen by the band. I haven't really been keeping score on the Kudos Kompetition, but there seems to be a flurry of late entries at the moment. Extra points for people who subscribe to the list purely for the pleasure of gloating. When's Sarah coming back off her holidays?

It's great beacause it's about football not about Footballers - so no debate about Teddy Sheringham's favourite golf courses, just stuff about fans and the game and real issues. And it's funny too, with great cartoons. And the WSC world cup wallchart came with free stickers! I rest my case. The only music mag I ever read is Select but I only get it occasionaly nowadays.

What I was wondering is if we could all vote for the same album (there's a list of them that they provide) and make it a really shite one, and try to knock it up to the top... There's some real clangers in the list of classic albums (all the usual suspects : Tubular Bells, Dark side of the Moon, Bat out of Hell - oops... I like all of these), and my suggestion is that we all vote for "Cracked rear view" by Hootie and the Blowfish - at least it'll keep dear old Danny Baker happy. The voting page is on : http://www.dotmusic.com/premier/vote/index4.html Oh - and you'll note that only people over 18 have suitably shite music taste in order to be allowed to take part. You prove your age by clicking in the tick box that says "I'm over 18" (Alice Cooper is disqualified on account of being 18 for example). Incidentally, note also that there's a "buy" button right next to the "vote" button - please don't click the buy button, I'd hate to be responsible for the entire Belle and Sebastian list buying a Hootie and the Blowfish album. These things are so completely shit really - what I really want to see is an all time worst album chart - or worst artist of all time. That'd be more like it.

It must be a very long time. Unless, of course, that woman who sings on cruise ships counts. Was there a single off her album. If there wasn't, it makes my question very redundant indeed. As for the Orchids and Field Mice stuff, I reckon the Orchids are much closer to B and S in spirit. There is a cheekiness to most Orchids material that the Field Mice, for all their qualities, never possessed. Am I alone in thinking that Trembling Blue Stars are the worst of Bob Wratten's incarnations so far? I just think most of the Field Mice and NPL stuff was so much better. My absolute favourite song of his is Dear Faraway Friend, an eleven minute epic that was on a NPL EP. If you listen to the feedback at the end very loud on headphones, it really feels like your head is disintegrating. Lovely. Is anyone else bored rigid by feedback? Is it to do with growing old? It's one of the reasons I love B and S so much, that they don't bother with it. It just seems a bit lazy, really. One more thing: anyone who's ever swooned over Nick Drake should rush out to get a copy of the Union Wireless seven inch called Some Morning. It sounds like the last ten seconds of a Nick Drake song (I think it's Hazy Jane 2) stretched out for five minutes, and it is totally lush.

Then again, what would I know? I once shook hands with a man who had shaken hands with Clement Dodd, aka Coxsone, the most important record producer in ska history. Having said that, the fellow whose hand I shook was in a band supporting Rancid, and no doubt he'd shaken the hand of somebody Rancid more recently than Coxsone's. So I decided to wash my hand after all. I have to admit to never having heard Rancid, but they don't sound very good to me. I think it might be the name. I expect they R!O!C!K!.

I was interested...it had Elliot Smith and I wondered if they would mention B&S. Thank God they didn't, because they actually seriously used a word that I had only used as a joke before: "acoustica". You're excused for the dry heave. "Electronica" is bad enough. Everything played on an acoustic guitar is all of a sudden the same genre? Let's hope this doesn't catch on. But my real business is to set the record straight (pardon the pun): > well i must omit,or at least dispute against this rumor that all new releases > in the US come out on Tuesdays,for this is not true. The latest Beastie Boys LP(hello > nasty) came out on a saturday,disproving the only-Tuesday rumour. > I swear, on any holy book or lyric sheet you can find, that ALL (except independently released) albums in the U.S. come out on Tuesdays, including the Beastie Boys album, which I bought on the TUESDAY that it came out. Now, once again, it's not a law that record stores can't sell it until Tuesday, but if labels find out that stores have sold it before Tuesday, they (supposedly) will stop selling new releases to that store. I'm not just trying to be argumentative, but I spent 6 years of my life working in three different record stores in two different cities that were over 6000 miles apart. I read every Billboard and ICE magazine, and I promise that new releases come out on Tuesdays in the U.S. It's the way it's done. You may have found a store that decided to sell Hello Nasty early, but the OFFICIAL release date was on a Tuesday. It's not a rumor. Sorry for making this a public letter, but I had to make sure it was known.

I have been slightly alarmed to see a number of enigmatic posters proclaiming “honeyz are coming”. I could only presume that Mr MitchellÂ’s offspring had matured at a frightening rate and were preparing to wreak Godzilla-style havoc across the western world. Imagine my suprise then, when I switched on Channel 4Â’s “Fresh Pop” the other day, to see that the “honeyz” are, in fact, three lissome lovelies in an Eternal-esque schmaltz soul troupe. I can only say that they obviously get their looks from their father. 2) A poem for Pistol Pete Miller and Kool Keef Paul Muldoon Jimi Hendrix: Are You Experienced? 'Like being driven over by a truckÂ’ was how Pete Townshend described the effect of the wah-wah on ‘I DonÂ’t Live TodayÂ’. This predated by some months the pedal Clapton used on ‘Tales of Brave UlyssesÂ’ and IÂ’m taken aback (jolt upon jolt) to think that Hendrix did it all ‘by handÂ’. To think, moreover, that he used * four *-track * one *-inch tape had (jolt upon jolt) evoked the long, long view from the Senior Study through the smoke, yes sir, the smoke of battle on the fields of Laois, yes sir, and Laos. Then there was the wah-wah on ‘Voodoo Child (Slight Return)Â’ from Electric Ladyland. (This is from Mr MuldoonÂ’s forthcoming collection, ‘HayÂ’. You may be interested to know that Paul is the beloved President of The Poetry Society. What a funky organisation we are.) 3) I saw that Avengers film last night. And you know what? ItÂ’s not bad. In fact, for the first twenty minutes it is superb. The styling is terrific, the direction at times is like Tim Burton directing Alice in Wonderland, Uma Thurman looks like a sexy preying mantis, and Ralph Fiennes is almost... witty! I give it a big trousers thumbs-up. 4) On the rare occasions I switch on XFM and donÂ’t have to switch it off again to avoid another track off the new lp, I keep hearing a song which has the charming chorus ‘You ainÂ’t ever gonna get ahead, giving head to The ManÂ’ . It is my single of the year, already. Can anybody enlighten me, please, to who this band is? That is all Trousers xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

But then I just SEE them and see the most important band of my life - or perhaps who WERE? But I stil love them, except I don't know what I'm on about. Two good songs by the Bonzo Dog Band. There are two of them. And they are called MY PINK HALF OF THE DRAINPIPE and RHINOCRATIC OATHS! The Beach Boys are good. I had many sleepless nights in Tenerife, due to the yukky heat. Here are some thoughts I had. I was thinking how shit and NOODLE-ing the Seahorses are. And I thought, if you were going to cook John Squire, you'd have tostir fry him in a wok - with all his noodles. Then.... I thought, how does one cook listees? It passed the hours beween three and five am anyway - hey, the logistics of a human toaster are quite hard. First of all I was going to toast Keith - 'cos lets face it girlies, who wouldn't like to spread "I can't belive it's not butter" all over keith and tuck in? wa-HEY! But then I decided no, it doesn't match his name. So, with a little shift - we have VOILA! Tag on Toast! Just as scrummy - but you see, you only get a half portion. You only use half of him for toast - the other hlaf would be used in.....oh god even *I* don't want to make this joke........ Tag- liatelle. GROOOAN! Keith would be spit-roasted so you could make a keith kebab. "Peej" Miller would be mashed up and stuck in a pie with potatoes, so you could have Potato and Meat Pete Pie.... Chris Leonard is one Spicey Dude - he proved that in paying 7890 quid for Geri Spices "booger" (American for snot. Isn't it ace!) - and this, you would have to make a Chris Curry. Then it was daylight. My trip was soundtracked by the new MSP single - it was being played EVERYWHERE! , XTC, Soft Boys, Melys, and what I like to call ever so precisely - "some dance shit". God. Ravers. I am going to Manchester soon. I shall HAVE to buy the RAVERS SUCK tshirt. It is so true. Kids - I shall leave you with a deep moral message. If it aint Welsh language punk - it's crap.

Message-ID: My gosh! I have now had my first experience of "surfing the archives". I'm bored and can't sleep, alright?? Aaaaaw! Mr Peej Miller missed me! By the way, no-one else seems to have noticed, but here is a scary thing. Listen to "Neighbourhood" by Space, there is a line, which goes something like "In number 666 there lives a MISTER MILLER HE'S OUR LOCAL VICAR AND A SERIAL KILLER"!!!!! is this true? Are murderers allowed on the list? Help Honey, we need moral guidance! I have listened to Side 2 of 20 Golden Greatst Hits by the Beach Boys five times. six now. It's fun. I don't know why. I can't be bothered changing it. It's good. I still haven't got Pet Sounds. Boring story. But I do like the Beach Boys. I don't know why, I don't know, what are words but abstraact bollocks put into squggles, hehe, squggles, what a good word! It was going to be squiggles but hey.... The Idler? Isn't that the mag that is even more pretentious than THE FACE? Alex from Blur writes for it. Isn't it a London only thing? lerts face it, the Idler is no LANCASHIRE EVENING POST is it? But personally, nothing can match the Grimsnargh Herald. Headlines. "Young person spotted! mavis has a heart attack!" "the wild and crazy youth are running riot!" "A car spotted!" Sorry if there are any listees from Grimsnargh here - but if so, you will know it is true. Oh yes. The Idler. It may be good. Warton may be found to be a goldmine. Tim. Now lovey. RANCID. They are so fucking shit! They say they are punk, oh yes of course you are. Dead intellectual you are Rancid. Kerrang likes you, 'cos you have shorts and tattoo and look like the remains of rhino excretion after Paul Weller has wanked all over it thinking it was a fresh and spunky member of Ocean Duller Scene. Oooh Rancid, with your shouty bollocks and complete ineptiude may you writhe in torment in Mick "the prick" Hucknalls dreadlocks forevermore. Now don't make me mention them again. Oh god! It's 1.44am and the milk van has just gone down the street! Is that right? Tag talked about Manics fans in a (whats the word? ah yes) derogatory manner. And there I was starting to like him. Oh Sarah stop this knee jerk GGRRRR reactionto anyone who may insult MSP or their fans!! Are there many manics fans you like YOURSELF Sarah girlie? Well....oh shit! Yes! There is one I am great friends with! Doesn't bode well! yes i don't like most MSP fans myself. Espeically the MSP fanzine circuit. Anyone who has a copy of my zine, burn it 'cos it's pish. Well, it isn't, it's quite funny actualy if you're where I was when I made it, which was in "Very Twatty Land"... er, and I've escaped from there? Did I have a point? Shall I put the kettle on? Can I bring my mother? I'm the Jimi Hendrix of the Spoons me! Um yes so anyway. TODAYS moral message kids - if it isn't the Beach Boys, it's crap. The Beach Boys. *nods sagely* yes.

There are many more than just 2 good Bonzo songs, unfortunately I can't remember any of the titles as I lent the CDs to a mate of mine about 4 years ago and haven't got them back yet. The songs are all better than The Urban Spaceman though, if that's the only Bonzo song you know then you're missing out. I think the Beach Boys are all right too, we got Pet Sounds the other week, I hadn't heard it before. I especially like the totally out of tune beginning of Wouldn't It Be Nice. Bye!

How many other list songs have there been? I remember the Billy Joel song We Didn't Start The Fire, and of course A House's Endless Art/ More Endless Art (and it's erm tribute, the Divine Comedy's Booklovers) but there must have been more. I think that Hillman Minx song is utter rubbish though. Just WHY has he had enough of all the things he mentions? We never find out.

Hotel, B&B, private - we'll take anything as long as it's not too far from the venue and costs less than 35-40£ per night for all of us. Thanks (Seymour) Stein And now a little story to tell you that B&S have fans of all ages: Last weekend my sisters boss (aged 44) went to Malmoe in Sweden to see the scandinavian equivalent of the Grand National. In the car with him was his father (aged 72). The youngest guy put on Sinister at a very low volume, just to be kind to his dear father. After a while the old man turned up the volume and said: "Very nice music, can i borrow it?".

Having said that, the fellow whose hand I shook was in >a band supporting Rancid, and no doubt he'd shaken the hand of somebody Rancid more recently >than Coxsone's. So I decided to wash my hand after all. Perhaps as well. I once saw Rancid on the telly, playing at some kind of festival. It was ska, but it was shit ska, and they had pink hair. They look to me like the kind of chaps who stick their hands down their sweaty bum cleavage before shaking hands with anyone. Like in that film that I like, Mallrats. That's my video tip, if they haven't got Clerks, which is better. Being the kind of chap who puts his money where his mouth is, I went out on Friday to buy some ska, the real thing, not the sweaty bum cleavage sort. In the end I couldn't decide between The Best of Don Drummond (who killed his COMMON LAW wife, so that's all right. I bet he tromboned her to death) and The Skatalites' "Ska- Boom- Da - Boom - Boom" album on Top Deck Shandy Records. And then the shop closed and I was all alone. Imagine my joy upon arriving home to find this: I'm >already planning my ska/rocksteady tape for Peter, here. It'll start with the marvellous 'Fat >Man' by Derrick Morgan. It will also include 'Fatty Fatty' by Clancy Eccles, and 'Fattie Fattie' >by The Heptones. Can you spot a theme? Yes, I can. Fatness. Can I have "Eh Fatty Bum Bum" too? In the end I bought another LP awarded the mythical "E" for "Essential" in the reggae book - "My Xperience" by Bounty Killer. It's loud. >You got that idea from The Idler, didn't you? The only idea I got from The Idler was to put The Idler down again and never have flying lessons. Trousers wrote: >(This is from Mr MuldoonÂ’s forthcoming collection, ‘HayÂ’.

Please congratulate Mr Muldoon on producing the late nineties equivalent of the great John Keats album "What's a Greek Urn?". Is the title of his collection a tribute to the late great Will Hay? Whatever, the poem gave me great pleasure, right up until that bit about batlles or something, that was too hard for me.

You could always get the Midland Red X99 bus that connects Birmingham and Nottingham, calling at Tamworth, Ashby, Long Eaton and all points in between. It is one of the finest bus routes in the world. One day the BBC will make a documentary series about it. A song with a list in it is the theme to Only Fools and Horses, and another one is by The Skids. They're both quite good. I'll try not to think of any more, but I can't promise. B&S content: A bridge has just been opened down the road. It's a footbridge connecting the old rambling and charming part of town with the new houses and supermarket. It is a sturdy, well constructed bridge, yet gleefully wobblesome once you're on it. I beleive it is a metaphor for the forthcoming Belle and Sebastian LP, and a sign from Jesus.

Sometimes The Sky's Too Bright Dylan Thomas. Sometimes the sky's too bright, Or has too many clouds or birds, And far away's too sharp a sun To nourish thinking of him. Why is my hand too blunt To cut in front of me My horrid images for me, Of over-fruitful smiles, The weightless touching of the lip I wish to know I cannot lift, but can, The creature with the angel's face Who tells me hurt, And sees my body go Down into misery? No stopping. Put the smile Where tears have come to dry. The angel's hurt is left; His telling burns. Sometimes a woman's heart has salt, Or too much blood; I tear her breast, And see the blood is mine, Flowing from her, but mine, And then I think Perhaps the sky's too bright; And watch my hand, But do not follow it, And feel the pain it gives, But do not ache. sad. maybe not very appropriate for Monday, which is a rather sad day in itself. so, here's a lovely little haiku (i suppose) for all you lovely people out there. "As Soft" As soft as a pillow As rosy as an apple's flower As sweet as a strawberry Is my sister after she took ...........a shower. - Inessa Suknovalnik, 1992 i was going to pick this one but it's so short. so now you have two poems :) love, oon xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I wouldn't have bothered sending this to set the record straight, only I couldn't bear people thinking that I'm so utterly primitive that I couldn't look at a map and find out how to get to Nottingham. It's just I don't particularly feel like going to all the trouble of laying my hands on a map of Nottingham city centre, and I've heard on the grapevine that it has an unusually hellish one-way system, and if I ended up missing any of the gig stuck on a ring-road......well, you know what I mean. OK, here's a little ink polaroid to make up for talking about route-planning - This is of me and my friend Melanie. We're sitting in a big sunny park with our trouser legs rolled up and our feet are dangling in a little gurgly stream. From across the stream is the sound of children in the playground. We're both craning our necks, looking behind us in the same direction across the field. The reason she looks kind of mystified is that a lady that we don't know has just shouted both of our names in the distance, and the reason I'm giggling insanely is because I've just realised that the lady is walking two dogs called Molly and Moose.

I'm about to start work on a Beach Boys documentary, and I have a little window of opportunity. To whit - I'm trying to think of people we could interview, beyond the obvious punters. By which I mean to ask - can anyone suggest modern day artistes who have an affinity for or liking of the Beach Boys? It's not that easy, I'm afraid - I could try and sneak in, say, the High Llamas, but in general I'll need a little more, erm marquee value. They wouldn't absolutely have to be familiar to the U.S. public - but it might be nice. Exciting bit - I get to try and hunt down Phil Spector. Thank you all for your help. The Avengers, by the by, is a very bad film, but it does have one very commendable Antonioni styled thing going on - it is set in a London that is completely empty. This is a very fond dream of mine, it was very exciting to see it on screen - how beautiful London would be post-apocalypse. Haunting like. Does anyone have a mews flat going spare? Or a telly job in London? I'll swap.

David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Dougal from The Magic Roundabout, The Fat One from REM, Garbage, Doctor Murdoch, Spiritualized, the entire psychedelic population of Wales, The WHO, Sonic Youth, that Eric Matthews bloke who I've never heard, Hattie Jaques, and so on. I don't know how many of those are famous enough without being too obvious. You could always ask the Beach Boys freaks on the mesage board at http://www.cabinessence.com if you haven't already. Some people are quite helpful, other send in things like "hey, this is nail, look at my knob". Occasionally there are messages from people who actually played on the records and other breathtaking achievements. I'm sure you'd get more ideas than you can shake a stick at.

Haven't heard it myself, not really a big St. Etienne fan but it sounds like a neat counterpoint to Denim's 'I'm Against The Eighties', from 'Back In Denim'. By neat coincidence, my favourite list song is the similarly themed 'The Osmonds' from the same album, which is Lawrence telling us about all thing's 70's.

It's the end of the world as we know it, is the most obvious, although someone has now mentioned it. Subterranean Homesick Blues at least sounds like a garbled list, regardless of what BD is on about. If 'Hit' counts, then 'Friday I'm in love' could go on. 'Glad' by, I think, Spaghetti Head. The crown choice though would be an eighties song called 'Hey Matthew', by Karel Fialka (or something like that), in which a small boy tells someone what he watches on TV. U2's Numb is almost a list song, except that it's really lots of things that you should or shouldn't do - like "don't be in U2, don't sing like Bono, sell less records in your home country than Daniel O'Donnell..." When I saw the video for the Hillman Manx song, I couldn't help wondering whether the line "I've had enough of Angus Deayton making large amounts of money purely by being smug and ironic" would appear anywhere in the song.

Well, then I suppose we should include Bob Dylan's 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' as well. Oh and there's also that song called 'Superstar' (I think) by Nilon Bombers. But that's a bit rubbish. And probably loads of others that I could mention if I bothered to go upstairs and check. I know he's been mentioned many times before, but I bought a Nick Drake cd with the pittance I got of Echo for selling them my old rubbish cds and it is ace. Especially 'Hazy Jane II' which is very B&S. I don't usually notice comparisons between bands, but this is great. You should all go and get it now, cos I say so. Also, can anyone recommend any good music biogs? I'm hooked on them at the moment for some reason and am currently reading one on the wonderful Patti Smith but am nearly finished and would like to know what else is good. Thanks! I wonder who'll be the first to write a B&S biography... most bands nowadays seem to have a crappy 40 page book out after their first album, but then they seem to have far more press photographs to fill out the gaps where the author can't think of anything to write... love, Debbie "We are all the same, everybody is the same, only it is the prerogative of youth to believe that this is not so." ---------- > From: Tim Harris > To: sinister at majordomo.net > Subject: Re: Sinister: American Radio and TV Commercials - Double Take > Date: 17 August 1998 21:08 > > > On Mon, 17 Aug 1998, Tara Widmer wrote: > > Also does REM's "It's the End of the World..." count as a list? > > Ooh yes, I forgot that one! and maybe that "Hey, Matthew" song from > 84-ish -- with lists of TV shows ("Dallas, Dynasty, Terrorhawkes, He > Man, Dukes of Hazard, The A Team" -- spot who's sad enough to *still* > remember (or almost-remember) these things..) and lists of occupations > that "Matthew" wants to have. > > tim > > +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ > +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ > To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Or am I just forgetting something startlingly obvious from one of my fave films (honestly!)? And about Carter USM - pretty much all their songs were list songs by nature. They had so many bloody words they couldn't really avoid it from time to time. What about Shoppers Paradise, and Sheriff Fatman "with his valium, amphetamines, his sick notes and his phony prescriptions" etc.? Talking of Carter - I may have admitted in the past to a love for early nineties fraggle pop. I'm not proud of this. But somehow not ashamed either. For a good two years during the most impressionable time of my life, my musical taste was governed by a longing for the first EP by Senseless Things and an uncontrollable need to own all the pre-Tranzophobia Mega City Four singles. And I've got them all, as well, and they do make me feel all affectionate when I come across them while looking for that fashionable late 90s scot-pop 7" that you young people are always talking about these days (I even discovered I had a BMX Bandits record in my collection I never even knew about! It's the vinyl equivalent of finding something down the back of the sofa, albeit slightly less exciting than 20p and a fruit polo). Anyway, now that I've got that cathartic but probably extremely unwise confession out of the way, can I just say to J. On that I thought Honey himself wanted your extra ticket? Or did I misread it (I can't check my old email, so I'm having to wing it)? I want to see if he really looks like his photo on the sinister site... I have in front of me a promo CD for Pat Sharp (Let's all Chant indeed!) and his entertainment company. Looking at the credits, he appears to have done a lot of work in Finland. I'm sure U.103 Radio Helsinki and Radio Nova Helsinki (who, I've heard, keep playing "Chick Factor" on heavy rotation - cheers Pat) are delighted at their media coup. Which reminds me - does anyone know anything about Doncaster Rovers' "astonishing" new signing?

On a more important note (for me anyway!), can anyone recommend anywhere (preferably cheap) to stay after any of the 3 gigs? There doesn't seem to be a Youth Hostel or anything in Nottingham in particular. I could do with finding somewhere to stay before I leave here at the end of next week...

I bought it. Anyway... So I was raking through my mum's old record collection, looking for stuff[1] to record onto MiniDisc[2], and came across a disc entitled "HITS OF THE BEATLES" performed by "The StereoAction Orchestra". Being a bit of a Beatles fan, I had a wee listen, and was astounded at how completely dreadful the orchestration was. So of course, I have to share it with all of you. I've RealAudiofied their version of Norwegian Wood and dumped it at http://www.begbie.com/junk/norwood.ra (399kb, 2:38, 28.8k stereo) Please, have a listen. It is quite incredibly awful, and I can't recommend it highly enough! And as you listen, enjoy these sleeve notes: THE SOUND YOUR EYES CAN FOLLOW . . . THE STEREOACTION ORCHESTRA was especially created by Cyril Ornadel to bring a new dimension to stereophonic recordings. In the 70's it is no longer enough for the stereo enthusiast to hear his music played in the conventional stereo form, the music must move. THE STEREOACTION ORCHESTRA has been arranged and recorded by Cyril Ornadel so that the music moves constantly. Together with producer Geoffrey Heath they have treated the results with the latest "moving screen process" used for the first time on this series of records. What can one say about the Beatles . . . The most prolific songwriters of this decade. From their phenomenal output THE STEREOACTION ORCHESTRA has taken what have now become Beatle classics: "Yesterday", "Michelle" and "Hard Day's Night" to name but a few. Beatle fans, stereo addicts, lovers of the best in contemporary music will love this album. Enjoy! NEWSFLASH: Due to "popular demand", there are now also recordings of Strawberry Fields Forever (straw.ra), Eleanor Rigby (erigby.ra) and All My Loving (loving.ra). They are just as bad. Rod.

Fans You have proselytizing fans in the region, to wit, listees Oon in Thailand, Richard and Glen in Hong Kong, as well as me and my cultish converts in the Philippines. Posh digs Because of the lingering Asian economic crisis your British pounds would be worth wagonloads of local devalued currency. You could all stay in swank hotels and not feel guilty since your indulgence would help our ailing economy (except in Manila, of course, where band members could kip at my flat - please?!). Beyond Melodymaker Ancillary instrumentation is something that makes Belle and Sebastian special. SE Asia would offer an opportunity to broaden your repertoire of neat noises. Here are some suggestions from the Philippine archipelago: Lunggo: imagine a cylindrical tuning fork made of a hollow bamboo shaft. It is held in one hand and slapped into the palm of the other. It vibrates and makes this interesting twanging vibration. Kulintang: sort of like a glockenspiel for drummers, kulintang means “gongs in a row.” Played among the Maranao, the Maguindanao, the Tausog and the Manobo tribes, it is basically a melody instrument consisting of eight gongs placed horizontally in a frame and tuned to a flexible pentatonic or five-tone scale. Lots of cool plectrum instruments of Spanish origin but Filipino flavour such as the bandurria, laud, octavina, mandola, guitarra, and bajo de unas (supplanted today by the regular double bass). Oon, IÂ’m sure, could tell you about all the possibilities in Thai instrumentation. Tarsier on Wheels Sure the Discovery Channel features all of the fascinating evolutionary animal mutations left in Australia by Plate Tectonics because they are really cute. But Southeast Asia and the Pacific Rim are teeming with oddly endearing creatures (not many marsupials or hoppity wallabies though which is too bad). Some examples of what we have in the Philippines are: Kolugo: a charming flying lemur with sad eyes The nasty and belligerent national symbol, the monkey-eating eagle Tarsiers: saucer-eyed, insect-eating midget monkey. Four to five inches tall with a giant tail, the tarsier is very cuddly. It looks a bit like a micro raccoon and hugs tree trunks like a koala bear but with these cringe-worthy bulbous tree frog toes. Butuki: like geckos, they are harmless lizards that helpfully eat our malarial mosquitoes. They range in size from cute micro ones that scuttle up and down the walls to son of Godzilla okay a bit of hyperbole, but there are some frighteningly gigantic ones with suction cup feet that latch onto people in the rainforest and have to be cut off! Endangered sea horses: B&S could do a moving ballad called Judy and her song of seahorses, dedicated to a species that is quickly disappearing from Philippine mangroves to make herbal potency extracts (AsiaÂ’s ancient answer to Viagra). Note: Sorry, but we have neither foxes nor snow. General Exoticism Wacky tropical fruit like hairy rambutan, spiky (and pongy) durian, aubergine-coloured mangosteen and even buko milk (juice from the baby coconut, tastes a bit like how I imagine Tigermilk) YouÂ’ve got C&A and Marks & Sparks but weÂ’ve got a huge chain department shop called S&M. Its like a dead Nietzchean metaphor; nobody (alright, a few expats snicker) knows what it stands for anymore. (a question for Americans on the list: what does A&W stand for? I saw a bottle of that root beer here but canÂ’t figure it out) Calamansi Honey especially for Honey (calamansi is a tropical citrus fruit like a miniature cross between a lemon and lime but not in a cheezy lymon Sprite way) Even if I havenÂ’t convinced Belle & Sebastian, perhaps IÂ’ve won over some Sinister listees? Oon, we need an Amazing Thailand equivalent post! And, Richard, you and Gloria could forward Hong Kong as a venue and then host the B&S gig on Lamma Island! >From the mayhem that is Manila, Claire P.S. To add to the list of list songs, my favourite is Trams of Old London by Robyn Hitchcock. Here is a gratuitous excerpt: On a clear night you can see Where the rails used to be Oh it seems like ancient myth They once ran to Hammersmith Trams of Old London Taking my baby into the past Through Electric Avenue, Brixton Downing, Southwest, too Teddington and Kennington Twickenham and Paddington In the Blitz they never closed Though they blew up half the roads Oh it hurts me just to see ‘em Going dead in a museum +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

You come back a few days later and they pass it on to you. I think I'll buy the record proper from them when it comes out just as a thank you and the for the fact that I never buy anything from them anymore. Won't give away any secrets, but I'll just say that what I thought was going to be my least favorite song, is one of my most favorite songs. And what I thought was going to be my favorite song is one of my least favorites. Just say BOO TO THE MOOG. OR WHATEVER'S MAKING THAT SILLY SOUND RUINING MY FAVORITE SONG, THE SONG THAT PRODUCED LITERAL TEARS OF JOY WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT LIVE IN NEW YORK LAst september. I'm tired of holding down the shift key. sorry for all that. I do like the bagpipes, though. Oh well, it seems I let some secrets out. Well, you all be reading the reviews soon, anyway. And I'm now going to claim to have the first dream with a song from the new LP contained within. I was in a school gymnasium sitting at a table, when off in the distance I hear the faintest strains of Rollercoaster Ride emanating from what I find out is a tiny transistor radio. When I get to the table with the radio everybody is smiling, and for some reason my chair gets real small and the table in which the radio is sitting on gets real tall. Then I woke up smiling. At least that's how I remember it. And for all those boys lusting after St. Lucy planning to convert to Catholicism, if you look closely you'll see she is wearing a Star of David around her neck. So make that Judaism. Which depending on what level of Orthodoxy dear St. Lucy holds up to, and what your parents decided to do with your "song snake" when you were born, might involve a rather painful medical procedure. Speaking of St. Lucy, a message to her boytoy Tag, I will drop a line soon. I just haven't gotten around to it. you do remember, the Looper basher. The first I might add. Love Carrick, the Luddite who still thinks Looper are a bit pishy, and that Spaceboy Dream is furlongs better than Spaceboy Dream #3. That's depth, baby. Soul, Deep Soul. Well not that deep. More boogie woogie than deep. listening to Sea Urchins - Live in London, which I'm glad I got for free, because it sounds a bit pishy as well. I think the liner notes are the best part. _____________ _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

At least >that's how I remember it. well, i'm not sure about being the first one to dream with the new lp in mind, but i think this one is pretty straight forward. if your years at school were anything like mine, than the school gym probably represents some unpleasant scenes involving failure at sports and torment by peers (i actually mispelled that as pears, which is pretty funny. i mean, who would think that pears would be rude?) so as such, it could represent the world. the classmates represent the citizens of the world, and the transistor is symbolic of belle and sebastian as a relatively small group of people in a remote section of the world. (and yes, scotland is remote to most of the people who don't live there). the table growing in proportion to the chair's shrinkage symbolizes the realization of the paltriness of one's own problems in relation to those of the world as a whole. so basically this is a really happy world peace dream which seems a bit reminiscent of the small world ride at disneyland with better music. can you believe i only got a b in psych? allright, before i cause too much more damage, i'd just like to say, good night and saint lucy bless. xoxoxoxoxo megan +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

All the 70's New York bands. And it's a great book. Matthew Collins' Altered State is great too, it's about from the beginnings of Acid House in 1987 to the kind of crusty warfare stuff that went on around Spiral Tribe in 1992, it's really good, and even made me feel a bit sorry for crusties - at least for a few minutes. John Robb's book on the Stone Roses I read recently and if not brilliantly written, makes up for it with enthusiasm, and also reveals that Reni's favourite song is "Jump" by Van Halen, and that the Roses used to cover "Love Missile F1-11" by Sigue Sigue Sputnik. Johnny Rogan's giant book on the Byrds is really good too, mainly for David "Greavsie" Crosby's brilliant comments. It's not a brilliant book, but it is good, and it's huge, and as we've all been told recently "Size does matter" so I guess that makes it a great book. >the alcohol loves you, while turning you blue, Hey that's Party Fears Two isn't it - someone told me recently about how "William it was really nothing" by the Smiths is about Billy Mackenzie.

I thought remembering who sang "Hey Mathew" was pretty low, but being able to recall the words to McDonalds adverts is through the barrel, still digging. Now we've got days of the week in, it's time for months of the year. "April, come she will", from the Graduate, lists months and what happens in them. And, erm, there are lots of others. A number of Tindersticks songs have list-ish elements to them. Marbles is a mumbled list-like story, My sister has a brief list of things his sister sees, and Cherry Blossom sounds like a list, although its very difficult to make much out. If anyone out there has a copy of Brittle Days, the Nick Drake tribute album, I'd love to here it. And to those who have fallen in love with Bryter Layter, try Pink Moon. 29 minutes of heavenly acoustic tunes. It's weird to think that a lot of people will now be familiar with at least one Nick Drake song. I think it was "The thoughts of Mary Jane" which appeared on a double album of love songs from "Heartbeat". (For those of you not familiar with heartbeat, it's a cheesy rural cop show, set in the late 60's with musical background to match, starring a cheesy quiff-headed ex soap actor who had a number one hit of his own, and a man who was once respected for his performances in a sharp political satire. The other recent moment his music has been widespread was BBC2's Christmas season, featuring the beautiful Northern Sky as soundtrack. PS I love listening to incidental music in promotions for programmes, or seasons of programmes, purely for the why the hell did they choose that song factor. Everyone seems to be using "Air" at the moment. Must work, must work, must work.

I can thoroughly recommend "Cor Baby That's Really Me" by John Otway. It's an autobiography, but it's all written in the third person because he felt stupid cataloguing his list of failures in the music industry, and it felt better to imagine he was writing about someone else. It's absolutely hilarious, yet at the same time quite sad and touching stuff. For those of you who don't know of John Otway, he got in the charts in 1977, to number 27, and has been making a career off it ever since. He's brilliant live, and is playing the Royal Albert Hall later this year (see www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~xav for more details). Amongst his odder moments in the pop world were: buying a Bentley with his #250k advance, then hiring a chauffeur because he can't drive; being dumped by the record company, then holding a benefit concert for them after they announced record losses, because he felt guilty; hyping a record to within inches of the top 40, then losing out due to an industrial dispute at the BBC; charting with a "punkish" song in 1977, then releasing a soppy ballad with 100 piece orchestra as his follow up, on the basis that the punks might want a change! His autobiography was released a few years ago, but is set for a millenial re-release, with new photos and an extra chapter or two. It's being released on 1st October, and should be available through most bookshops. A cracking good read. B & S content? Well, you can't have everything.

It's never worked yet, people are so discreet. I'm just listening to Roger Daltry screaming "FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE MEEEEEEEEEEEE!" from the "McVicar" soundtrack, courtesy of Keith Wattstax. I advise anyone that isn't friends with Keith to become so immediately. All this talk of list songs and no one has mentioned the first and best list song - "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and his Comets. It's a list of times of the day, complemented by the singer's projected activities at each time he chooses to mention. Simple but effective. Belle and Sebastian content: No, false alarm. Paid a penny and only farted. I've just been to the supermarket, it was shit. Isn't Staten Island Wu Tang Clan territory? I certainly wouldn't be rude about it in public if so.

The School Bus (almost on topic) ----------------------- There was this guy who just got a new job as a school bus driver for elementary school children. He thought it would be nice to paint the school bus with characters from Sesame Street. So, he painted Bert and Ernie, Big Bird, The Cookie Monster and so forth. At his first stop, there was this very overweight little girl. He opened the door and said, "Hi, I'm the new bus driver. What is your name?" The girl said that her name was Pattie. Waiting at the next stop was another overweight little girl. He said, "Hi, I'm the new bus driver. What is your name?" She said that her name was Pattie also. At the next stop, there was a grown woman and a little boy. The bus driver said, "Hi, I'm the new bus driver. What is your name?" The woman piped up and said, "His name is Ross and he is my son." She continued, "He is very, very special, so I want you to take extra good care of him." The bus driver replied, "No problem. He can have this seat right behind me and I can watch him really good in the mirror." At the next stop, there was this little country boy standing there. The little boy was wearing tattered overalls and had no shoes or socks on his feet. The poor little boy had problems walking because of bunions all over his feet. The bus driver said, "Hi, I'm the new bus driver. What is your name?" The little boy replied, "My name is Lester Cleese." Well, little Lester picked at his bunions all the way to the school house, nearly driving the driver crazy. Later that night, at home, his wife asked him how his first day on the new job was. The man replied: Well, I had Two Obese Patties, Special Ross, Lester Cleese Picking Bunions On A Sesame Street Bus." See, that was _almost_ on topic....

Although I absolutely adore Brian Wilson's 'Wouldn't It Be Nice', which is the ultimate in unreliable autobiographies, most of the music books I like tend to concentrate on a style. Barney Hoskyns' recently reprinted 'Say It One Time For The Brokenhearted: The Country Side Of Southern Soul' was the start of a musical passion for me which hasn't died. The Rough Guide To Reggae, which Pebble Miller At One has been on about lately is also a great handbook and a cool read. Jon Savage's book on Punk Rock, 'England's Dreaming', is also fantastic, although not as fantastic as my number one favourite book on music ever, Parsons and Burchill's 'The Boy Looked At Johnny. For the most part untrue, and for the rest ill-advised, it's bile-filled and 500 mph and hateful and nasty and utterly P!O!P!. Savage tells you how it was, Tony and Julie give an idea of how it *felt*. I have to say that I think Clinton Heylin is a bit of a twerp, and a dull archivist. Adam, the author of the fine 'Heroes And Villains' Beach Boys biog. is one Steven Gaines, by the way. The Duke wrote >i too remember that record, and remember thinking when i first heard it >that it was, basically, The Chesterfields. I remember drunkenly asking someone whether they were the bass player of the Chesterf!elds once, when he plainly looked nothing like him. Odd. The Duke also wrote: >The cover CD is good though, and makes me want to hear more of quite a few of the >newer groups. Funnily enough, I'm listening to that right now. You are right, some of it is fine, although I have to say that the Flying Burrito Brothers track does a good impression of pissing all over the others from a great height. My objection to the who 'new country' thing is that it seems to be yet another attempt to sell us more or less insipid, more or less corporate folk rock (of the kind so beloved by the bosses of major record labels) under a new name, to try and make it sound exciting. That's what I think anyway. I adore country music, but not much of this stuff passes muster. Of course it's not the artists' fault that they've been lumped into a pigeonhole. I just hate the pigeonholing. On the other hand, it is the artists fault if they make boring music. Which some of these folks seem to. The duke(it must be school holidays or something), also wrote: >well there's a hefty chunk in my upcoming book (plug plug - but no pics, >sorry) 'Young And Foolish' You neglected to tell us when your upcoming book, Young And Foolish, will be published. And who by, and for how much it will be on sale at good booksellers near us. ;-) Oh, and a little tip for the new listies who I just *know* are all on their way to http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/ in order to brush up on the bits of the list FAQ (particularly points 11 and 12) that they didn't understand the first time, why not do yourselves a favour. Go to the 'search' page, and search on the words 'song snake'. You'll need to search all months, but only titles and authors. Read Mr. Leonard's message. You won't regret it. I promise. If you have some time to spend, look up the word 'lemur' too. And tell me whether Tarsiers are cuter, or not. Duke, would it make you feel any better if I told you they weren't bagpipes?

I am leaving you for a couple of weeks to go up North (please note the absence of a "y" in that last word). I'm going to Iceland. And I am looking forward to it with intense intensity. We're going to look at volcanos. Hopefully one will erupt on an uninhabited island off the coast rathen than directly under my feet. Are volcanos sexy, or am I a pervert? I'm going pony riding (yes, I am a pervert), I've decided. Icelandic ponies have an extra type of movement you know, other than walk, trot, run, canter and gallop. I'm a mind of information. I'm looking forward to meeting lots of you (again) in a couple of weeks time. I couldn't decide which shows to leave out so I thought "Bollocks, I'll go to all of them". I'm not ashamed to say that I am very excited. It looks like a good time to depart as the conversation drifts to lists of list songs. "John Ketley is a weatherman". Dear God - have we really sunk this low? Nice to see the Duke of Hazzingay casually mentioning a St Etienne song you can't bloody get anywhere. What would Rosco P!O!P! Coltrane say about that, eh? The only list song worth mentioning is the strident anthem for the People's Republic of Sinister, which I will write in my mind, as I gaze wistfully towards Canada. Do you know there's somewhere in Baffin Island which translates from Inuit as "The place where two men kissed for no reason and the caribou ran away"? Now I shall love you and leave you.

Oh, I just stuck that in there as a parody of whoever else thought it *was* very pertinent to blurt that sort of thing out. For those who don't know, Greg Luganis was an Olympic diving champion (there's some famous footage of him hitting his head on the board his way down from a dive). I'd just been talking about a bar being a dive. I was trying to make the statement more stark and tangential, to throw the comment's inherent daftness into greater relief. Or some such bobbins.

Basically a pop music "Fever Pitch", which I know everyone and their dog have copied, but still a good read and a good laugh. Bloddy good. List songs - my tape tree tape contains "I Am Afraid" by A House, which goes something like "I am afraid of the dark, I am afraid of the day, I am afraid to walk outside, and of what people say etc etc". Bet ye all can't wait now. Elliott Smith - definitely bloddddy good, on the "Either/Or" LP and live anyway. Lambchop - blodddddy good too, especially "Theone". I think I like "new country", even if it is just a big bad music industry invention. Both of these have new albums out in the next few weeks, along with B&S, Divine Comedy, Gorky's and Catchers.

I went in and he presented me with a book. "No money, no honey. A guide to prostitution in Singapore". My god. He had circled paragraphs and street names, annotated them "Highly recommended, B+" and that. It was actually a very funny and well written book, yes ? But anyway a couple of days later at lunch "I want my book back". And so we got to talking, he told me there was a lot of fun to be had in this city. He then inquired if I was busy at the weekend, and If I was single. Oh dear. I answered, "Yes. No." a bit to smartly, and made myself rather unpopular I fear. Not to worry though, my efforts have not gone unnoticed I'm told. I hope that's a good thing. I gave myself two missions in Singapore: 1. Find a copy of Angel Sigh, the Japanese version of that Sinister album. 2. Buy a hat. I failed miserably on both counts, don't you know. You see Singapore is not Japan, I just assumed in my small mindedness that they'd be getting the same sort of records, sort of like a wanker. I did buy a cd of some local lady with a free book of candid photographs. The photographs are about one hundred times better than the cd. But that's ok. The Corrs are number one in Singapore. That says a lot I think, I'm just not sure what. And Singaporeans don't wear hats. It was nice to return home to find a pile of things I had bought, like that looper single and a cardiacs t-shirt. You see, i've always wanted my very own cardiacs t-shirt for some reason. My hands shook with excitement as I pulled it on. Lovely, a little man and a house and the whole world window on me. But almost like a sign from the devil, a moment after I put it on, my nose bled all over it. Nyah, I'm not to keen on blood you know but nose bleeds are great because they look really impressive and don't hurt. So anyway I haven't really caught up with what's been happening in our sinister little world. Will someone recap for me, for I'm too weary to read. That's me then, and wa ki so kata lingaaa mr chris PS. The competition is really building up now. I've had over 2000 entries, and it looks like it's going to be a tight battle. But you still have time to enter if you haven't.

Not that I've ever listened to it or anything, oh no. Hands up who had a crush on Dolores or Rachel out of Slowdive when they were young, then? Not when Dolores and Rachel were young, obviously (unless you're Tag who's already admitted to being a pervert, although, despite the distinct resemblance on Dolores' part, neither are of equine persuasion). I personally swung between Sarah Cracknell, Margaret out of Moonshake/Laika and Laetitia out of Stereolab. Yum. B&S content - Listening to sinister last night for the first time since the boy with the arab strap hijacked my car radio, I remembered how absolutely classic those songs are. To think I actually didn't think it was that great for a while. Fox in the Snow made me melt (ho ho) to such an extent that is was unable to imagine how it could be bettered. I don't understand why it's so low on the voting list. Nor Chick Factor, which is just astonishing (apart from the "plane flying high/woman saying hi!" section - maybe Stuart should write the words, Stevie). Whatever, it's nice to discover that the second and third best songwriters in the world also come from the same band...

'Let's Call the Whole thing Off' - "You say Tomarto and I say Tomayto" and he wrote loads of other list songs none of which I can remember but perhaps someone can. 'My Heart Belongs to Daddy' I think is another and 'I Get a Kick Out of You' I suppose. B & S content. I've been listening to TBWTAS for a couple of weeks and although unsure at first, I thinks its brilliant now with different songs taking over as favourites all the time. And is the title track actually about someone from the band Arab Strap. Stuart sings'the boy from the Arab Strap'at one point (i think) and if so has one of the band members got a 'filthy laugh'.

Recognise it? The squarky woman is Nichola Bowery, Widow of performace artist and Minty founder Leigh. I'm so glad I saw them live - a band that can shock even todays audiences really are something (This involves amongst other things, the naked - except for a giant tubey plastic hat - lead singer (i.e. Nichola) pissing into a plastic cup at the end of the set) My fave list song, though, is 'British Children On Smack' by The Yummy Fur which goes "British mums / British dads / Get your children off the smack / And onto something friendlier / Onto something healthier / Like...." and then goes on to list a lot of things.

No Tony Wilson in that large contents thank the moon and stars! It calls Preston "distinctly parochial". Hmmm. And places the NORTHERN poonk scene of 77 in a very nice way that I actually may care about...refreshing change from... Englands Dreaming by Jon Savage. Very academic and HEAVY to stick in yer hand luggage, thank god now I know Malcom McClaren used to run a 50's shop...whattawanker! Its alright I supose, but a tad dull....its mostly about them Sex Pistols. Who I am afraid I have not bothered to care one jot abou, and talks about the London scene, which bears as much releation to my current life as does, ooh, tippex teddy bears. So theeere....much more fun to read is.... The Boy Looked at Johnny by that JulieBurchillWhatSometimesIsInTheGuardi an and ThatWankerTonyParsons.... Tis marvellous and easy to slip in hand luggage cos there aint that much of it at all. Slags off everyone and everything apart from the Tom Robinson Band (who we ALL love obviously...) and Poly Styrene - and is absolutely marvellous, read it! Come on it was in Preston library so you should be able to find it anywhere. Who is Barry McGuire? 'Cos they say Paul Weller is the Barry McGuire of Punk. I hope he is a big fat turd! I have heard not ONE song from that new B&S album. Not one. I hate you ALL who have heard them, I really do...when are they played? Please?

I mean hearing one song of his off of "either/or" is cool or using him as intermittent background music for a movie is cool, but listening to the whole album straight through I find to be really really boring. In that respect he's like Low and other half-ass mope bands that just don't have a diverse enough pallete to paint a sad painting that you want to look at for more than a couple of minutes. Melancholy stuff like Red House Painters, Tindersticks, American Music Club, Eric Mathews,lullabye for the working class, and of course Belle & Sebastian is so damn good because its pallette is so mature, nuanced and diverse. Who knows, maybe his new album will have some more texture. .scott +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Anyway, kids, I think it's time to make plans. It's very important. Right, well. Me and bethey are going to Nottingham to see someone called Belle & Sebastian. Anyone heard of them? Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else was going and if they'd like to do anything while we're there. You see, kids, me and bethey have been discussing since Manchester what we're going to do next time at a B&S gig. And here's what we came up with (in a top ten list): Top ten things for us to do in Nottingham =============================== 1. Have a picnic before the gig. This would be really fun. Honest. We can eat pork pies, scotch eggs and sun-maid raisins while chatting with other strange people years older than us. 2. Scream all the time the band are on stage a la Beatles. This could get us a few black-eyes. 3. Wear name badges saying 'My name is......' so all listees can recognise each other and all non-listees get very jealous of not being in a weird name-badging cult. 4. Try and touch Stuart Murdoch / Isobell Campbell / Chris Geddes. Just touch their hands and then never wash it again. 5. Sing along to every song and dance and that. 6. Burn 'I am feeling sinister' / 'I have an arab strap' / the name of your favourite list member into your arm with a soldering iron a la goth-rock-heavy-metal-punk fan. This could hurt. 7. Faint when B&S get on stage. 8. Cry when B&S play 'the fox in the snow' or something like it. 9. Break into the star dressing rooms and then have a chat with B&S and be shocked when you realise they can talk like fairly normal people, despite being the subject of your obsession. 10. Get yourself invited up on stage to do a guest performance on Chris' Hammond / Isobel's own song / etc. The prize for anyone fulfilling all of these requirements will be most wonderful. Anyway, shall we really have a proper picnic before? It would be most exciting. Does anyone know the area of Nottingham in question? And shall we wear name badges? You see, I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED. Just two weeks and 2 and a half days to go. Someone, calm me down please. Thank-you for listening, love, jon g.

The cover CD is good though, and makes me want to hear more of quite a few of the newer groups." I agree that the cover CD repays the outlay for the mag, but not for the newer bands, who unfortunately ('cos I wanted to like some of them) sound pretty dreary to me. The track that does it for me is the closer, a live version from the soon to be released "Spyboy" album, a version of "Boulder to Birmingham" by Emmylou Harris. The other day whilst listening in the car it made all the hair on my body stand on end and my eyes moist at the same time. (BTW I always thought the verse should finish And feel the city air Run past your body *hair*) Listen to this (Emmylou, not IYFS, silly) and then go and buy one of her first 2 solo albums, or even better still, fork out for one of the Gram Parsons albums she accompanied him on. Most record stores seem to knock out the combined GP/Grievous Angel CD for £9.99, which is a ridiculously good currency v. blow you away emotional power exchange. BTW, HoneyPaul, why will that look like 100 times Australian dollars or something? Also Hun, thanks for tidying up our digests. It was a dirty hack, but someone had to do it. Especially as for a compuserve member, it reduces their size and (mostly) stops them becoming attached .txt files. I also recommend seeing John Otway live. I once saw the Bard of Princes Risborough play with Wild Willie Barrett when he dived onto Willie's steel guitar (which was on wheels) and went over the edge of the stage on it onto his head. Got up and carried on singing. I just read another digest, and have to concur with Tim Hopkins about The Burritos'Sin City and peeing from a great height (perhaps the 31st Floor?) Every time I listen to this song it makes me sing out loud. And I can't sing.

On the subject of list songs, and sorry if someone's said this already, my fave is "What Will Death Be Like" by Momus, in which he lists many things that death will be unlike. I started writing a list song last year, called Hate List #1, but I ran out of rhymes and it was all very negative. If anyone wants to help me finish the song, and get those negative vibes out of my system, just e-mail me with a short list of things that you dislike (and preferably which rhyme with asparagus). I was watching the local news last Thursday and they were talking to one of the last remaining Greenham Common peace camp women. Imagine my surprise when they announced that the elderly lady they had been interviewing was Katrina House! People have been talking about advertisments, so I feel justified in mentioning the Levis advert with the child hammering the square peg through the round hole. It's not a phrase that I tend to use, but this advert ROCKS! I don't know why, but whenever I see it I think of Keith. I tried to alert everyone to the danger posed by Elliott Smith but, in true conspiracy theorist style, my protestations lead only to disbelief and ridicule. Why don't you listen? He is obviously going to wait until Shepherds Bush before he does the deed, because the song in which he announces his intentions is called Killing a SOUTHERN Belle.

In a bizarro chain of events as I got into bed last night and set my alarm clock radio to wake me up heinously early this morning, I switched on Xfm to adjust the volume so as not to wake me up too quickly, and heard TBWTAS - for the first time. Then what was the first thing to come on Xfm this morning as I re-surfaced? Yes the same song again. It was like I'd just fallen asleep for 30 seconds and woken up again but it was in fact 7 hours.

It's probably best to avoid anything with a title like that. I don't know who the authors are, but the Moz one is more at home with Edith Piaf from the looks of things. As for a B&S book, I'd like to see one of those "In Their Own Words" books devoted to them. I'm not usually backward at coming forward when it comes to rabbitting on about Rock books I've read, so this time I'll point out a few that I haven't read, but would like to: "Moon the Loon: The Amazing Rock'n'Roll Life of Keith Moon" This was writen by Keith's personal assistant. It begins with an account of a search for "spare gash". I once saw a copy of it in a second hand bookshop in Loughborough, but I didn't buy it. What a buffoon I am! The cover alone is priceless. (Tag, if you're still with us, ask Sean to show you). "Death Discs" by Alan Clayson A book about records about death, such as "Leader Of The Pack" and "Don't Jump Off the Roof, Dad" by Tommy Cooper. "Soulsville USA: The Story of Stax Records" by Rob Bowman I'm sure this will contain plenty of Isaac Hayes information, and as such is a must for guys like me. "The Crack in the Cosmic Egg" by the fabulous furry Freeman brothers of Ultima Thule. It's an encyclopaedia of Krautrock, dead big and probably full of bollocks. "I've Got a Brand New Trombone Harvester - The Don Drummond Story" Only available on import from Jamaica, this is the story rise and fall of the founding father of ska, who killed his wife in a bizarre tromboning accident and was packed off to a mental institution, where he sat down and dictated this compelling autobiography. A good place to find out about music books is the Helter Skelter website, address unknown. They've got the Deacon Blue book really cheap. Poor old Ricky Ross, Mister Bargain Bucket. Beth wrote: Beth prefers "who ate all the pies? who ate all the pies? The huns! (those fat bastards) THEY ate all the pies." I would also like to read a biography of Beth, to find out where all this stuff comes from. I mean , there she is, being informative and enthusiastic as usual, and then all of a sudden she comes out with this. B!I!Z!A!R!R!E! But it was the Huns, they did eat all the pies. love, Sister Disco PS: T!mothy Hopk!ns, you can't pull the wool over my eyes. At least not for more than a couple of scary seconds.

As a tale of everyday madness, this one is hard to beat. 'Post-Hegelian Homesick Blues: The List Song in Postmodernity' by Steffan Hosen Here's what it says on the back: 'Fascinating study (adapted from an acclamed doctoral thesis) which puts the list song at the epicentre of postmodernity, as the apotheosis of one-dimensional fractal culture, referencing, re-referencing and self-referencing out of control, nowhere and everywhere, forever. It demonstrates that, even more than 'machine music' like hip hop, the list song has ruthlessly exposed the modernist myth of the creative subconscious, and locates postmodern creativity in the act of turning on the television, the only purposeful act which remains available to us.' Quite how the author managed to do this much research into list songs without once mentioning Ian Dury's 'Reasons To Be Cheerful Pt 3' is beyond me, but a scintillating read nevertheless. Sarah Records 40: A Celebration This large format, glossy book tells the amazing tale of how Sarah Records was founded 40 years ago on the tiny Caribbean island of Bristol, and through amazing luck, great judgement and a sense of adventure, has grown and prospered through 40 years and across the whole spectrum of popular music. Guest star forewords are contributed by Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson and Andrew Dean. The Strange Tale of Litres of Pee: Indiepop Babylon, by Roberto Carro Amazing expose of the darker side of the indiepop world. You wouldn't believe some of the things those indiepopsters get up to. Read about how Bjork destabilised the molecular structure of the other Sugarcubes' brains, using worrying glares she'd bought from Tricky. Read how the size of Brett Anderson's head is directly proportional to the popularity of his band, and how he now wears hats stolen from Lego figures. Read how Belle And Sebastian's Stevie Jackson was spotted by Dave Lee Roth while filling in on guitar for the BMX Bandits in LA. He accepted a job in Roth's band, but was thrown out after just twenty minutes for throwing a meat pie at Seymour Stein, esteemed head of Sire Records. It missed. Stevie wrote a song about the whole incident. It's a great song. And it's a fantastic book, you should try to get hold of it. Take the book back off the shelf, Tim P.S.

I have no idea where the youth hostel is in Leeds, a brief look at Yellow Pages is less tha helpful, but that's not to say there isn't one...If people do go to the previously mentioned 'Brighton Beach' club as post-gig entertainment it's open until 4am which, with an interlude at the local all-night caff, might just take you up to train running times. Rock biogs; There are two Phil Ochs biogs, 'Death of A Rebel' by Marc Eliot and 'There But For Fortune' by Michael Schumacher. Which I mention because the Ochs story itself is truly compelling. And sad. Brilliance, frustration, early death. It could have been a brilliant career. However avoid the Eliot as is poorly written, tends to focus on later barren and depressive years and written by a type who appears to be a freeloader and knew Ochs only in the last couple of years. Ska cd buying; 'And This Is A Ska Explosion' (Debutante) is a new, cheapish, and very fine.

Do any listies have a copy of the first album by his band, the cleaners from venus? I will pay GOOD money for it! If you're in any doubt, let me tell you this: He finds himself at one point touring germany with the band while the singer/songwriter has gone off to do some gardening (so he has to impersonate his voice) The MD of his record company came to the last gig, shook his head and walked out, the album has sold about ten copies, his management are bankrupt, his bassist is about to be deported to japan, and to make things worse he's accidentally got on the wrong side of the berlin wall without his passport. Very funny. Only ignore his theories about pop music. They're pish. Anyway, anyway, anyway I've had some good news and some bad news today: The good news is that I got ABC in my A-Levels which means I've easily got into Southampton. I'm going out to celebrate. The bad news, as reported by the NME, is that the best live band ever - EVER - Gallon Drunk, have split. So I'll mourn while I'm celebrating.

That's because I haven't been reading that much. That's because I always think "this is my third Sinister digest today, I don't have TIME to read all these". But in fact, it would only be ten minutes a throw at most, and every time I do read through one, it seems to be full of fascinating people, none of whom seem to have been struck by 90s-media-homogenisation. It's wonderful. From now on I shall print off my Sinister digests in the morning and read them in my lunch hour at work. Anyhoo, a little about me: heard "The State I'm In" on Radcliffe way back when, and immediately sent off for Tigermilk (that is 400 quid just waiting to happen isn't it - just waiting for the day when I'm sufficiently strapped to want to flog it). When I bought "Sinister" it made me want to be bisexual. "Fox In The Snow" is probably my favourite B&S song, and other fey artists which I love, and I'm sure you would too, are Nick Drake and Michael Head (ex-Pale Fountains). Non-fey peeps that I like are Prince (when he was Prince), Van Morrison, Cocteau Twins, Kate Bush, REM and Ani DiFranco. My favourite book is still, rather tragically, Catcher In The Rye and my favourite film is The Fisher King. Fascinating stuff eh? Mmmmmmmmm, Sheffield has killed my mojo. -- Phil Houghton +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I'd been predicted 3A's so they're a bit of a disapointment. Especially seeing as I'm having to wait until tomorrow to see if Bristol are going to take me(you see I needed 2A's and a B) Even worse is the fact that those bastards at the marking centre have decided not to include some of my coursework in the grade, so one of those B's should be an A, but I'm not sure if those tossers are going to raise the grade. (Thanks cal for the words of support!) Still never mind "IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BRILLIANT CAREER" I'm coming back from holiday the day of the London gig so I'm going to grab a tube from the airport to the concert. If the plane is delayed I'm buggered big style! Don't suppose you could stall the band until I arrive? Just a thought! Sorryaboutthisbutisaweveryoneelsedoingthissoithoughtihadbetterhaveagoandfoll owthetrend. Now then that's out of my system. As I was saying I'm going to the London show and I'm all up for wearing a name badge, just like on your first day at school. In fact I'm gonna wear 2 badges, one with my name on, the other is a proper yellow badge with the dog from the back cover of Dog on Wheels on, NOWTHATSWHATICALLSTYLE!

I don't have it to hand, but remember it as a saucy rockstar version of that cockney rhyming slang book that everyone has in their toilets. With its aid, one can learn to speak Moon, circa '74. Also on the Who tip, Simon Napier Bell's "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" Has some great bits about Kit Lambert and the Who in some orgy styled scenario�.it's also the best book about pop ever - he wrote the title song (in ten minutes), and managed Marc Bolan, Wham, and the Yardbirds. There's a chapter on John's Children called "A Bunch of C**ts", where he invents psychedelia, mostly to drown out the incompetence of the band with a wall of noise. And a bit where he meets John Lennon under a table in Soho in 1965. Am I the only person actively avoiding blagging an advance copy of the elpee because I want the perverse thrill of being a pleb and going to buy it with my hard - earned? There's something so cheesy about advance copies, like being in a guestlist queue that's much longer than the real queue. That sneak peek into September was far too terrifying. I'm going to include it in every post between now and October, so's we can see if it comes true or not.

I have a ticket to Leeds.....but no place to stay.....*waaaah* have any fantastic people any place to crash at all for the night? I'm a lovely little thing honest and I don't want to sleep in the train station 'cos it's a nasty place and I'll be murdered and gary has made me *promise* that I have to sell my ticket on if I haven't got a place to stay, and if I have to do that I will cause myself serious harm in attempted suicide so THEEEERE....please? I don't ask luxury, just a roof would be nice? :) Anyway, plea over... (and maybe my LIFE AS WELL OH GOD THE ANGST OF LOVING A BAND WHO DON'T PLAY ANYWHERE WHERE YOU KNOW PEOPLE GOMDAMMIT) I shall now read my...er... 78 messages (!) from Sinister and reply thusly... After I tell you to buy FOREVER BREATHES THE LONELY WORD by FELT 'cos its indeed CRACKIN'. XFM. Weren't they going to kill that? They should have done. You Londoners only need listen to RED ROSE GOLD, and you'll all become better people with teh greatest songs from the 60s 70s and 80s! Apart from when they have PNE playing Blackpool live and NOBODY CARES ABOUT FOOTBALL ON THE RADIO! WHY!?!?!?!?!? Anyway, I hate XFM, because all the *national* papers start a crusade for a LONDON station, which nobody else cares about and would have been jealous off, would it have been that is was any GOOD. I'm starting to sound like Honeys fake not really digest except I think its a flugelhorn/euphonium on Seymour Stain. Serge Gainsborough "events". There seems to be one of those every week oop even norther than me, is this true? Is it an obsession? I've only ever heard ze man once! Huzzah for him! Well, ur... Hunter the Gladiator comes to Preston seemingly all the time, so nerr! Actually, um... Elliot Smith played Preston. I think one of my friends bands might have supported? Or was that Ricky Spontane, yes it was Ricky Spontane. Anyway, Elliot Smith played the Teeny Preston Adelphi (which is now painted YELLOW! AAARGH!) and I didn't go, 'cos I was broke and no-one would go with my anyway, BOOO to them. I put a Morrisey song on the tape treeeeeee tape. Heh heh heh. It's dead serious man. Hehehehehehe! You need know no more until you recieve the tape.....*giggles* It's a GOOD song. Espeially with his little pals aiding him out there.... Has anyone posted tape tree listings yet? Keith you said we all should, so you can start. WHAT DiD KEITH WATSON PUT ON HIS TAPE? I want to see what everyone else has stuck on tapes. Mines a lot of Welsh stuff so I hope people don't actually want to UNDERSTAND song lyrics to half of the songs... I have put enjoyable and fun songs on, and even a Trembling Blue Stars acoustic song done ages ago on Mark Radcliffe 'cos I thought y'all might like it, it's quite pretty. I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

It was a jolly old thing, and Stevie did >"Lolita Go Home" on acoustic too, and some great Stevie (yikes) Wonder >harmonica licks on a couple of other songs. Moi non plus. My god that sounds wonderful. I had heard that this was going on and was very excited that the Edinburgh Nights thing on BBC2 were having a feature on it. Needless to say there was no mention of B&S but Norman Blake performed a very sweet rendition of L'anamour. The bits about Gainsbourg himself were a bit weird though - very flippant! They also showed a clip from his infamous TV encounter with Whitney Houston which was a bit sad really. The worlds greatest flirt reduced to the level of a crude, old uncle. Then of course they managed to drag up some song that consisted of Serge breaking wind. Our very own list expert on the great man (I'm sure there's lots around but I'm talking about Tag here), a man who's spent his life trying to emulate Gainsbourg, even made a rash 'what a horrible man' comment at this. The wee ginger one did manage to compose himself though and at this very moment is off in Iceland, consulting his flatulence svengali on the tricky art of sphincter control. He's promised a faithful rendition at one of the September concerts, which I'm actually looking forward to quite a lot. I don't think anyone's mentioned the History of Scottish Rock and Pop thing in the on-going rock biogs dinosaur. Pretty dull book really, but it does mention Orange Juice, The Pastels, Vaselines and Shop Assistants amongst others (it even mentions The Fizzbombs I think) and if it were written a few years later it would have undoubtedly raved on for several paragraphs at least about B&S which kind of makes it almost on topic. It's possibly quite interesting in bits if you weren't into wearing an anorak in the mid-80s but kind of wish you had been. And it had it's own companion radio show which really should be encouraged. Stephen Pastel on the radio. Oh yes!

Although St. Lucy's letter had me rolling, too. One little flaw with Honey's letter's though...can ya guess? That's right, they were all about Belle and Sebastian. Wholly unrealistic. If no one minds (and someone will) I have a couple of favors to ask: 1) Could everyone please stop ending their letters with "Um...Belle and Sebastian content"? It makes it sound like it's something painful, like a fee. "Oh, I *would* write to 500 strangers about my love life, stress over school and make dumb "jokes" about not putting spaces in sentences, but...then I'd have to write something about B&S, so it's just not worth it." So here's my point: write about whatever you want, but don't make writing about Belle and Sebastian sound like some sort of chore. Please. Because there are those of us who could write volumes on the tiniest of B&S details, but don't out of respect for the people who prefer to stay awake. 2) Not that I'm going to have many fans after #1, but it's driving me slightly crazy that there are three unreleased B&S songs that I still haven't heard. These would be "...Middle Distance Runner", "Rhoda" and "Tigermilk". If anyone has these songs, I would gladly make some sort of trade. What can I offer besides the Kajagoogoo bootlegs? Um, an REM bootleg from before they were signed (it's incredible), several Grant Lee Buffalo bootlegs and I have access to a wide selection of American indie rock, heavy on the North Carolina music. Mail me privately if you would be so kind as to provide me with said gems. Thanks. At the risk of sounding like one of Paul's made-up posts, I heard three songs off the new one and I was ear-to-ear all day. They just keep getting better and better. I would go on and on about how perfect it is, but I'm all self-conscious now.

I presume you mean the Fringe and Firkin on the corner ? Please God not the Walkabout. It's got lots of (takes nose between thumb and forefinger, pulls head back) *Australians* in there. Shhhhhhiver. I did mention the Bushranger round the corner, which has a free upstairs room with an integral bar and balcony. It holds about 50 or so people comfortably, and should be pretty empty that early on a Monday night, so we could have the whole room to ourselves.

You Londoners only need listen to RED ROSE GOLD, and you'll all become better people with teh greatest songs from the 60s 70s and 80s! Apart from when they have PNE playing Blackpool live and NOBODY CARES ABOUT FOOTBALL ON THE RADIO! WHY!?!?!?!?!? Anyway, I hate XFM, because all the *national* papers start a crusade for a LONDON station, which nobody else cares about and would have been jealous off, would it have been that is was any GOOD. Right. Forget the fact that I'm from London, forget the fact I like it here. I KNOW we are privileged to be, for better or for worse, viewed by the press and the marketing bods as a more profitable playing field than the rest of the country, and as a result get access to things that should be available to everyone, but aren't. But there are 8 million of us, and if you're a fledgling radio station with a low-output transmitter, it doesn't make any sense to put it in the middle of nowhere. We also have more disposable income than the rest of the country (in theory at least - that is, of course, after paying £100 a week on some grotty flat somewhere slightly too far from all the decent places to go) - and that's where the licence came up, after all. What do you expect? Although there are bound to be many people on the list who did have a chance to hear XFM and thought it was shit, there are also a number of us whose lives it revolutionised. I was woken up by "The Boy with the Arab Strap" yesterday (but that's enough of my personal life...), and I'm sure you can imagine what kind of spring in my step that gave me. I went to sleep every night with John Kennedy playing songs I'd never heard in the past but can't live without in the future. I am going to miss that show like crazy - it gave me everything I wanted, even if I was occasionally jolted out of my slumber by a random drill 'n bass track at 1 in the morning. I feel let down, distraught, pissed off with those at Capital who have lied and cheated their way towards monopolising commercial radio, and just really, really upset because something I loved has been taken away from me. I honestly wish you all had the chance to hear it - you might have thought it was shit too, but at least you couldn't make ridiculously ill-informed and pointlessly bitter comments like the one above. So there you go. I tried to unsubscribe and failed, which probably said more about me than I'd like, but I'm glad I'm still here.

OK, I must chime in here and say that while a lot of his songs are sad in that way, a lot of them aren't. Also, the best thing is going to his shows and playing "I saw Elliott smile" - he'll go a whole show with his eyes closed and no facial expressions and then someone will make a silly request and he'll laugh. He also covers John Lennon's "Jealous Guy," Big Star's "Thirteen," George Harrison's "Isn't It a Pity" etc. And some of his songs are so wonderful and I can't see how they'd be interpreted as anything but optimistic: say yes, between the bars, etc. Honestly, if you see him play I think your opinion may very well change. I just saw him the past two Wednesdays and he did totally different sets and was incredible both times. For those of you not into his solo acoustic kinda stuff, his new album XO (which is out in the states on Aug. 25, I don't know when it's out in England) has a different more Beatles-ish sound with lots of cool instrumentation. :) Rachel "I'm the queen of the castle when no one's around and I'll give you my number when my feet touch the ground" -- the weekend "well you can't get even but you can get mad and it's not funny no and it's not sad it's just a feeling that I've always had look out world I'm about to be bad" -- Kirsty MacColl, "Bad" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- my Mary Lou Lord page is at http://pages.nyu.edu/~rkb200/ To join the Mary Lou Lord mailing list, email Majordomo at smoe.org with ONLY "subscribe jinglejangle" OR "subscribe jinglejangle-digest" in the BODY.

The only problem is that if there is a medical emergency here the helicopter that is used for the airlift lands on the football pitch. Still it would be a great place for a concert, there are a few happenings that take place on beaches here, organised by the remaining heads whose visas have got extended.

You don't have to care. You just have to realise that Xfm's death is another sign of indie failure, that it brands us as losers, a tag that I thought we didn't deserve. Xfm gave massive exposure to bands like, hey, Salako, Snow Patrol and Belle and Sebastian, and helped them sell more records, and establish them as, erm, moderately known bands. What happens to the next generation of Jeepster signings? You won't hear them on 1fm, certainly not before Midnight, anyway. Most of all, it's a sign of the growing chasm between 'their' music and 'ours'. Without a voice in the heart of Europe's music industry, there's nowhere indie can go except back into it's ghetto. Which means more of your favourite bands being dropped from majors, record shops going to the wall, and ten more years of shit on the TV and radio.

If so and you've got nothing better to do :) tell me if it's a nice place and how the flip you manage to survive there! Ooh! Heres my granny walking past! Lets have another comment since you all seemed to like her last chat so much :) good lord what can I say? tut tut..eeer....I don't know!

I really wonder if it will be a BIG MISTAKE. I mean, its a bit RUDE isn't it? OK, so it fits with the cover, but I'm just wondering about the possible consequences. This is what I think will happen: Sept.10 1998 : Parents of boy scouts 'taken up the hills' by Murdoch discover lewd title and inform Scout Leader. Stuart is sacked as scout helper. Sept. 11 : Church Hall Commitee discovers album after an insinuating piece in the Glasgow W.I. quarterly . Stuart is suspended as Caretaker Sept 12 : Parents of young B&S fans discover new album appearing in their teenagers bedrooms and are outraged. Sinisterines forced to unsubscribe from inappropriate mailing list. Only over twenty-fives remain. Sept 13 : Group of rubber fetishists descend on the Church hall and elect Stuart as their new S&M cult leader. Sept 15: Church Hall commitee threaten Stuart and Richard with eviction. Sept 16: 'Madame' Cecile Aubry discovers title and is disgruntled. Immediately demands band change name forthwith despite Isobel offering prized toy lion as concession. Sept 17: Band change name to '1975' after year in 'the state I am in'. Sept 18: Faced with eviction, stuart decides to change album title to just 'the boy' and Church hall committee withdraw eviction notice. Sept 19: Hoards of teenyfans confuse '1975' with 911, east17, level42, 5ive, and hanson(?) and record sales rocket. sept 20: Stuart becomes national pop celeb and featured on the O-zone and bluepeter. sept 21: Daily Mail discovers Stuarts 'shady' past including lascivious leather trousers and runs full 3 page spread on corrupting influence. sept 22: Sinisters mail server shut down 'obscene' mailing list. Honey goes into hiding. sept 23: Church hall commitee, all avid Daily Mail readers, spontaneously evict Stuart and Richard from church hall. Sept 24: Gay rights group 'Outrage' 'outs' Stuart. sept 25: Stuart moves in with Mark Owen. sept 26: Stuart and little Mark collaborate on new side project. sept 27: all original B&S fans now dissullusioned , claiming stuart has sold out. sept 28: Stuart sells out. sept 29: Rest of original B&S join Buddhist colony in Milton keynes. And all in one whirlwind month readers!!!!!! We must warn stuart before it is too late, so don't delay, print out and post to Stuart today. susannah. xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I refer of course to the Divine Comedy. Thanks to one very kind soul I've heard it, so I thought some of you might like to know what it's like. Basically it's more like Casanova than the last mini-album. It's not quite as varied unfortunately, and there's nothing quite as wonderfully off-the-wall as ...Sleepless Night on it; but having said that it does contain a delightfully silly Wagnerian opus about wanting to live in Sweden... National Express does what most songs fail to do - be happy and cheerful without sounding corny and contrived. It's also very catchy, surely a Top 10 single before long. The other stand-out track for me is Sunrise, all about the Northern Ireland peace process, which makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end it's so powerful and motivating. A couple of the songs could have done with being a minute or so shorter, but that's a minor quibble when faced with such expansive orchestral arrangements and, as expected, great lyrics ("If the Lord had meant me to live in LA, I'd have been born with a machine gun" for example...). I'm not sure at first listen that it quite comes up to the standard of Casanova, but it is undoubtedly an extraordinarily good album. Don't be put off if Generation Sex is starting to irritate you, it's by far the poppiest thing there; and you have to applaud anyone who can get a hit single all about the public's hypocrisy after Diana died... Just my tuppence worth... The Hungover Git (Still desperate for somewhere to stay for the gigs...) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I don't care on the grounds that if XFM's idea of "Our Music" are bands like Snowpatrol then frankly they can keep them. I'd rather Fleetwood Mac than Jack at this juncture. Another "Indie failure" is a natural problem in that 99.9% of the music simply isn't good enough. It's definitely a good thing having people broadcast new music - I mean, I for one am all for the likes of John Peel playing anything and everything on his show. But frankly haven't been able to actually listen to his program since having to sit through a Terminal Cheesecake session in 1988. In any case, for the few years that XFM's been running, all I've really seen happening in the music scene in Britain is a great big thing called britpop when loads of bands from London copied loads of bands from the sixties... Grrreat. I haven't seen any great improvement in the scene at all. I'm afraid though that I'm just not of the opinion that if you get some bloke on the radio who'll play absolutely anyone - that they're some sort of a hero. You say Radio 1 won't be playing these bands before midnight, well they've certainly played plenty of Belle and Sebastian, and I can't say I really care about them not playing the other bands. Anyway again I'm not having a go - I just can't say I care about a radio station going down when it's a) shite (what I've heard of it) b) I don't get it anyway (like 50 million others) and c) has had no noticable positive effect on the "scene" at all.

After a weekend of frantic trout tickling, I feel sufficiently refreshed to attempt a message contaning 100% Belle and Sebastain content. If you should spot any poor quality references to ironic song combinations or cod-reggae, just shout "IT'S BEHIND YOU!" and I'll turn round really slowly and pretend not to see it. Last Friday, for the second week running, I tuned into John Peel's BBC World Service programme in the hope of hearing something from the new B&S album. I decided to do the washing up at the same time. So there I was, scrubbing away and digging some rather nice go-go music from 1982 when Mister Peel said, "Hey! Let's bossa nova!" and this record jingled and jangled into life. Between the washing up bubbles (which by this time had filled half the kitchen) I thought to myself, "Jesus, I hate these shitty indie groups that do bossa nova when the real thing was so good..." Slowly, very very slowly, it dawned on me that the singer's rather effeminate voice was vaguely familiar, and I stopped washing up and fought my way through the bubbles to the kitchen table where the radio was. I sat down and looked at it. Yes, the voice definitely rang a bell, but I still wasn't sure. Then a big squawky violin solo piled in and everything fell into place. I managed to catch one word, "acknowledge" and it was all over. "Yet another great record straight outta Scotland, that's "Ease Your Feet Into The Sea" by Belle and Sebastian from the new LP.....etc." said John Peel enthusiastically. Naturally, I immediately revised my opinion of indie bossa nova and took the day off work to celebrate. A "Dreadlock Holiday", so to speak.

I reckoned I would get him a Yugoslavian supermodel (Linda has her newts). Naturallly, i checked out www.yugoslavia.supermodel but found that it's now called "former-Yugoslavia". Anyway, with all the confusion, instead of a supermodel from former-Yugoslavia, I got a former supermodel from Yugoslavia. Inessa is very nice and remembers watching the Archduke Ferdinand on the morning before that dreaful Mr Princip threw the bomb that started WWI. At 98, she experiences some difficulty going up and down stairs but, for a 98-year old, has a very good posture. Unfortunately, she is inclined to moan a little. But, after an hour of pushing and shoving, we've got her into the box. Hope you enjoy her, HoneyPaul. Happy Birthday list. Thanks for keeping the madness going.

Thanks, Keith" I'm sorry, Keith, but writing such a negative piece and saying "I'm not having a go" doesn't make it inoffensive. Seb wrote a genuine and passionate letter about something that has been an innovative and positive thing in his life and the lives of many others - you, on the other hand, see fit to patronise us with a posting based on nothing but petty parochialism and ignorance. Don't you think that there might be some of us who have just a few more emotions about XFM, both good and bad, than you? Your letter also manages to contradict itself time and time again. "XFM has had no noticeable effect on the scene" - and yet is responsible for the proliferation of Britpop, a "great big thing", as you say? Your letter says nothing of any positive worth; pretty much every statement you make could be laughed out of town. "99.9% of the music...isn't good enough"? Then the amount of decent swingbeat and handbag house that we'll be getting on CapitalXFM is going to be less than negligible. Perhaps it's ironic that a good proportion of the music that's made me swoon over the last year or so has come from Scotland - but I wouldn't have heard any of it if it hadn't been for Keith Cameron, John Kennedy or Paul Anderson. Fundamentally, Keith, we don't care that you don't care - it's important to us because we DO. Drop us a line when you've thought of something constructive to say. And you've missed a hell of a lot on John Peel over the last decade.

I'm still gutted about what's happened to my favourite radio station - this morning there was some geezer who quite obviously didn't want to be there, and to be honest I really didn't have the desire to listen. Still, Bob Geldof might prove to have the best taste in history, so there's still hope...

When you listen to his show he does still play some fantastic records. Salako recently for starters. For the last 6 months I have had, frankly, a huge honour being able to work with John Peel on a new C4 show called Sounds of the Suburbs. When you meet him he is all you imagined he would ever be. Anyway one day he asked me who was my favourite band and I nervously said 'Belle and Sebastian' I don't know why but I thought he would hate them (I remember a few months a go someone writing to his show saying that they were revising at the moment and could he play something 'mellow', and John practically shouted "WE DON'T DO MELLOW" and preceded to play Extreme Noise Terrror or the like. But he said he loved them and was really looking forward to their next album. Anyway all I was going to say it still is really worth listening to his show still. In between the hardcore techno and the experimental industrial abstraction are some vinyl gems. And here is a tip if you are in a band and want to get a track on to his show. His tape machine has broken in his car so he doesn't listen to many tapes anymore (he gets sent 20 - 30 a day. And if you call your band after a member of his family Floss, Pig, Thomas etc you will get a fast track delivery onto his playlist, I promise. But don't tell anybody I've said that. love Rob _______________________________________________________________________________ Well, in the cold light of day, my overly personal and nasty posting about Keith's letter seems stupid and shameful, so I'd like to apologise to Keith for being an arsehole. I'm still gutted about what's happened to my favourite radio station - this morning there was some geezer who quite obviously didn't want to be there, and to be honest I really didn't have the desire to listen. Still, Bob Geldof might prove to have the best taste in history, so there's still hope...

But, I had spent my money on another record, in Sue Ryder. MOOG SOUND 2000! by Klaus Wunderlich!! Including, moog versions of : Raindrops keep Falling on my head, La Paloma, and Charade! And lots of strange german tunes I don't know. Lemme quote, go on! "This instrument offers a musician and technician who likes experimenting an enormous number of possibilities, since every sound or noise can be "synthetically" produced. Listen then to the "would-be" trombones, guitars and strings. Let the wind tell it's story in RAINDROPS or imagine yourself in the underworld with the sound of bullets, explosions and abstract noises in KRIMOOGULUS....A synthesizer makes it possible - electronically!" And also quite scarily: "My good old organ was also able to play a little part in this". Quite like the "zipper" noise at the start of Expectations, one expects... I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Yeats..I was going to do Fern Hill by Dylan Thomas,but i figured since he's just been featured in last monday's poems,do some different ones. When You Are Old When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire,take down this book, And slowly read,and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur,a little sadly,how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And his his face amid a crowd of stars. The Sorrow of Love The brawling of a sparrow in the eaves, The brilliant moon and all the milky sky, And all that famous harmony of leaves, Had blotted out man's image and his cry. A girl arose that had red mournful lips And seemed the greatness of the world in tears, Doomed like Odysseus and the labouring ship And proud as Priam murdered with his peers; Arose,and on the instant clamorous eaves, A climbing moon upon an empty sky, And all that lamentation of the leaves, Could but compose man's image and his cry. Never Give All The Heart Never give all the heart,for love Will hardly seem worth thinking of To passionate women if it seem Certain,and they never dream That it fades out from kiss to kiss; For everything that's lovely is But a brief,dreamy,kind delight. O never give the heart outright, For they,for all smooth lips can say, Have given their hearts up to the play. And who could play it well enough If deaf and dumb and blind with love? He that made this knows all the cost, For he gave all his heart and lost. love from your little friend, genevieve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Manufacturing an illusion of high school cuddliness without actually appealing to teenagers, they issue four-minute fluff balls of nonsense Glasgow stories and singsong melodies - naive and fragile in the outside, tough with knowledge of obscure psychedelic pop records on the inside. The Boy With the Arab Strap is the band's third album in two years, amid as many EPs and numerous downloadable songs-of-the-week at its Web site. Redolent of the Velvet Underground's cutest moments, this stuff is almost closer to sense memory than to music. Slouching along with Stuart Murdoch and Isobel Campbell's breathy, uncertain vocals, and a small, unvirtuosic orchestra in the rear, the songs conjure aloneness, first love, discovering poetry and not knowing what to do about it. It's the soundtrack to staying too long in your college neighborhood and becoming one of those types who hold down library jobs. The air has grown dangerously precious on each of Belle and Sebastian's previous records, so the greater richness and sophistication of Arab Strap come as a relief. A few songs actually read as creditable poems: "Seymour Stein," a split-level daydream in which the real-life record mogul takes the singer's sweetie away to America and his band out to dinner, holds fast to its conceit and attains goose-bump loveliness - it's actually moving. Elsewhere, there are old Stones-like slide guitars, bagpipes and motor-trance rhythms, strings, xylophones, trumpets, flutes, and organs. And where too much of the band's other music has been assiduously cloistered and rickety, best heard at private moments on headphones, this album's got brilliant Spector-sound sunsets. It's worthy of filing next to the Mothers of Invention's Freak Out, R.E.M.'s Reckoning, and the Meat Puppets' Up on the Sun: rock albums with an endless summer glow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Even from a rag like Rolling Stone I would have hoped for a little less cruel treatment! "unvirtuosic" "rickety" "It's ACTUALLY moving" And I hate how every magazine in the whole wide world has to play on that "secretive" thing, oooh, theyre so "mysterious" just cos they dont whore themselves around like all the other bands in there... They even printed a picture of the album cover to ruin the surprise for all of us who were still waiting. So if you really want to see it you can go to a bookstore or something and check it out. But I know that what I say doesnt really mean much anyway cos i am just a teenager and B & S therefore dont appeal to me. So what do I know!

But now I have a few words to say. - I was thinking I like ink polaroids very much. Those sent here to the list are so great, I think I would like to put up a web page to collect what you listees have written. I've only kept the last two polaroids, so if you would like yours to be included, send me email (I am so lazy I don't want to crawl into the archives for too long...) and I am going to try to make a nice sweet page. - OK guys, I also sometimes dream about B&S. Last time it was like a gig in a small bar (like the middle east upstairs in boston), and the people were all so tall that I could not see a damn thing. I actually live in Japan so people are rather small so maybe this is why I dreamt that. Any clue? Anyway I was frustrated when I woke up, and also bescause I could not remember the songs I dreamt of. - "Un air de famille" is a very funny french film, adapted from a theater play by Jean-Pierre Bacri and Agnes Jaoui (they also play in the movie), and takes place in a bar on a birthday party. The family is gathering and then it starts to become strange. You definitely should see it, it's funny but also very witty and bright, I think.

I had a dream a couple of nights ago, which I think was actually dreamt in the wee hours of the morning, since I woke up feeling as though I needed to call Ahren and tell him the news...but I'm getting ahead of myself here. There's a new boy who has been hired at work, Ahren is his name, he's a couple years younger than me but yikes, is he ever a cutie! I've found myself often thinking devlish thoughts about devlish things, which somehow involve him (I swear I don't know how these things work themselves into my head), it's safe to say that yes, I am crushing over Ahren (and if he happens to love b+s and read this list, I will now, on cue, melt away into the rug). But in my dream, I had somehow heard the new b+s, in some sort of secretive fashion, and it was up to me to let Ahren know about it...I was calling him on a cell phone at an early hour and trying to describe the music, the beauty of it and how it was just flowing and tugging at my heartstrings, and also trying to wake him up because he was still sleeping and really couldn't comprehend the importance of it all, and it was vital that he did because darnit, this is Belle and Sebastian we're talking about here, and this is the sort of news that would send many kids into a wicked frenzy, but not Ahren, because he was still in the waking hours of his day and his words and thoughts were all blurry, and he sort of understood why I was getting so excited, but he told me that I should really not have woken him up for this news, so I promptly went over to his house (in dreams I can telelport somehow) and played him some b+s, and all of a sudden he GOT IT! and I could see the flicker as the bulb lit up in his head, and he then knew exactly why I had called him at 5am to tell him a b+s story.

Mark is right. "Chacun Cherche Son Chat" (if you can repeat this title 10 times very fast, your french is excellent) is certainly the best film directed by Cedric Clapisch. I would just add that the old lady who is the lead actress is not a professional actress.

Message-ID: <01bdd019$113cd0c0$LocalHost@itjfvkli> This morning I heard another track from the new LP - "Sleep The Clock Around". It was great, there were Pigeon Street sound effects in the background and the bagpipes fit like a comfy pair of old slippers (tartan ones with fluffy lining). I liked it a lot, much more than that other one, which I also liked a lot, just didn't realise it at the time. It was on Spanish National Radio 3 Pop. I wasn0't doing the washing up this time, I was having a dump. To be honest, I think I'd finished, but I sat put until the song had finished. The lavatory is where I hear most new releases, because it's the place where I usually listen to the radio. Therefore a lot of new releases are subconsciously linked with voiding the contents of my bowels. The DJ said that B&S were from Glasgow but connected to the French music scene because that's where the records are released and that this is the first one with electronic elements as part of the fabric of the songs instead of just as decoration and they favour simplicity and melancholy in their music. I decided not to take the day off work this time, because otherwise I'd never get anything done. I put on my green and yellow fat belly bus t-shirt instead.

I thought that the lead actress was a 20-something long-legged, long dark hair waif, but maybe there is another french film about a lost cat. I thought it was great, but I saw it on a first date and he wasn't too impressed. But then I wasn't too impressed with him, what was I doing dating an accountant?! (before anyone takes offense, I know there are some nice accountants out there, and all accountants don't fit to the stereotype. Who am I to talk any way, I'm an archvist, to which some people automatically asume I'm a librarian, why?) Talking of films with Portishead in the soundtrack, has anyone else seen Nadja? It is this really cool, dark, absurd vampire movie. Everything is there. picture (in black and white of course) a bi-sexual female vampire, seducing a woman (very dodgy oral sex scene, not for the easily disgusted), boyfriend gets suspicious, brings in old doddery academic friend, Nadja has a brother who is ill, and I think the girlfriend is a means of making him better, anyway, the end is set in, yes you've guessed it, an old, gloomy castle, and surprise surprise, there's a stake. It sounds a bit ludicrous, but with Portishead all the way through it, there can be no other mood than dark and very atmospheric. If you ever get the chance, do see it, as it is certainly quite different. I'm going to be homeless in six days time, spot the bag lady at the London gig. I suppose it will mean that I'll spend everyday, all day in the library and computer room working on my dissertation (deadline three weeks today, aggghhh) which would be no bad thing. I'm going to be in Toronto for three weeks in Sept/October, so if any-one can spare a few mins to tell me where the best places for food/drink etc are, maybe I'll even let you listen to a tape of Looper 'Broadcasting Live from Mars'.

While I'm on, if anyone's starving for more Ink Polaroids from sinistereenies, the very old amongst us will know that Jeepster ran a competition in 1925 on Sinister where people wrote their own. The prize was a newly released 78 by Rod Stewart and a box of wooden styluses or something. There's a pile of them in the Jeepster attic at http://www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian/fiction/index.htm if you're bored. Anyone whose name appears next to an Ink Polaroid there should be treated on this list with the respect afforded to an aging guru. honey who didnt write one xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I took it with my silly old ink Instamatic with weird obsolete 110 film a couple of weeks ago, but hadn't bothered to get it developed until now. When you look at it at first you can't see what it is, but then it comes into focus as someone's shoulder, loosely clad in a beige coat (you know the type, they're only ever worn by old men with really thick glasses) and partially obscured by the back (tightly clad in horrible orange faux-tartan) and peeling chromed rail of the seat in front of me. When the old guy got on the bus outside the hospital he offered the driver two choices from a paper bag of Woolworths Pic 'n' Mix, paid his fare fumblingly with arthritic fingers, then sat down on the seat directly in front of your correspondent, just where I could see the small flecks of dandruff on his collar, nicely highlit by the greeny-gold sunlight bouncing around through the trees as the bus turned corners.

Are you sure that "The City..." was directed by Gilliam ? I think that "La cité des enfants perdus" (french title) was directed by Marc Carro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet (who also directed the last Alien).

Or start a pirate station, like people have to if they want to hear reggae or any other type of music excluded from the mainstream. I'm going to start a cod reggae station, playing such classics as D'yer Maker by Led Zep and that one by David Bowie. Fluffy, have you got somewhere to stay sorted out yet? I'm sick with worry here. Have you thought about getting your grandmother to play juke box jury in your room and send in the results to the list? It's just a thought. Do you do doo wop? I do doo wop.

If anyone is organising a meeting or there's anything fun going on, could someone mail me to my 'roaming' address. Ha ha. It's joss at bboy.com. Secondly, I am bored enough in work to attempt my first ink polaroids. I expect you all to slag freely and ignore me in the chat room if you find them terribly poor. This one was taken in my flat last night/this morning. It's 5am and wee listee Nickie has just left. Leagues - my flatmate - and I are lying on the sofa giggling and saying"oooiiiillllll". We are drunk. On the other sofa sits Nickie's friend Maureen and Leagues' pal Pat, gazing into each others eyes. I am peering over the edge of the sofa to see if they've started kissing each other yet and report my findings to Leagues because he's too afraid to look himself. This one appeared in Kerrang! It was taken in the tiny Alpha Tearooms in Dublin. Leagues is sitting with Aidan Walsh. He is a madman who performs the Hokey Cokey regularly, believes himself to be the emperor of eagles and has a penchant for being photographed with famous bands. Like the Frank & Walters. Bizarrely enough, rock band Def Leppard have just walked in. The Kerrang! photographer is taking a picture of Sheffield's finest whilst Aidan peers at them over the shoulder of an embarassed Leagues. His mouth is open as he repeats "who are they Leaguesh?". This became a centrespread in the aforementioned rock weekly. There will be a documentary film about Mr. Walsh on channel 4 soon.

The forest was a friend to noone except perhaps spriglets and giant rabbits who could muster enough energy to bound freelance into the clearing. Its remoteness and inaccessability meant that the local crims could stash their loot, shooters or bodies there and nobody would be the wiser. As Blobs' mind raced stallion like through more emotions than an afternoon of soap opera, his intense concentration was not even distracted by thunderclaps in the distance. As night turned to early morning a surreal calm had descended like the dew onto the greenery. Blob turned into a giant rabbit and skipped hungrily towards O' Connell Street and freelance records to collect 'The boy with the arab strap' that had arrived a day late. kev -dublin. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Think of what happiness it could put into the life of a poor boy leaving for a strange town. Wouldn't it warm your heart to give me even a thirdhand copy of it? I'd send you a tape and an SAE so all you would have to do would be to press play and record and pop it in the postbox. Surely all too small a task for such a reward in human joy.

'North Bar' and 'Whitelocks' pub are the two nearest decent watering holes to City Varieties, both being more or less a stones throw away. Unlike assorted other local hostelries they're cool re:dress code, and early in the evening shouldn't be too busy, although it is a Friday. Having said that North Bar will be the least busy, i.e. more accomodating to large numbers of sinisterine types. it's a newish, minimal kind of bar. Whitelocks is an oldish (actually I believe they claim to be the oldest pub in Leeds) traditional pub kind of thing. Enough wibbling. - What do people think, especially others in Leeds or familiar with it? Post-gig, I think the consensus is 'Brighton Beach' at the Cockpit 11pm-4am, it's very near the train station (about 2 minutes). 2 rooms, indie/sixties/soul etc. Katrina wrote; >but there >will be a party at the venue until 1am with the superb sounds of mr andy >divine spinning the finest northern soul sounds EVA!

Message-ID: <35E3A31F.2F48@pacbell.net> i'm quite lost... i thought stuart was turning 30 but i saw someone post that he turned 25. or is it because it's the 25th of august. city of lost children was inspired by gilliam though as it has already be stated it was directed by Carro. i actually found it quite similar to "dark city". and it is past overdue but ma vie en rose is simply wonderful. it's about how a family deals with being alienated from their neighbors because their little boy wants to be a girl. sorry for the lack of b&s content but posting looked so fun when you guys did it. janet. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

But their style is quite similar to Giliam's in that they both go for the retro-future look - as if the set designer has come through a time warp from the 1950's. In Gilliam's case it may have something to do with him being a fan of Philip K Dick - as for Jeunet and Caro, they've probably just been watching Brazil :) I liked The City of Lost Children a lot - it had a nice creepy fairytale feel about it, and the retro look gave it the same timeless quality that fairytales have. I liked Jeunet and Caro's first film, Delicatessen, the best, though. It was in the same style, but far blacker and very funny in places (Ca c'est un travail pour l'Australian!).

Oh yes, i think I mentioned to various people in chat that a few us were going to celebrate the last bank holiday weekend of the summer in Greenwich. I think the Sunday is a better idea than the Monday, cos I'm not sure about the trains. So the details are: Meet up 1pm, Sunday 30th September at Greenwich BR station. You can get there from Charing Cross or London Bridge. Alternatively you can get the 188 bus from Euston. If it rains we'll go to a pub, otherwise we'll be in the park, up on the hill. Other top social events this week include a special Sinister Birthday edition of the Social at the Poetry Caff on Friday 28th. Once again, Trousers plays P!O!P!. Fun for all the family in this exciting rockular quiz evening, with special prizes. Things start around eightish... it's at 22 Betterton Street, Covent Garden. All-comers are welcome.

(for some reason, these words have stayed with me for over eight years). rolling stone journos should be ignored ("no shit, sherlock!").....they are parasites of music and will easily put *fabu* bands like belle & seb in the same category as mariah carey or some other BS. a rolling stone four star review means sweet fook all because they will give a four star review to some shite outfit like the pasedenas (remember them?) in the next issue. throwaway stars if you like. (but don't put them in your pocket). reading rolling stone led to months of rocking in a foetal poition and screaming silently at the walls of my parents house. lah lah lah. "read hot press" is what my therapist said. and i'd like to point out that i have never seen a rabbit on o'connell street in my life. plans for after the london gig? my suggestion is indie night at heaven (under the arches at villiers street). great music, a free beer on entry and admission is only a quid. it stays open until four also.

OK, I must chime in here and say that while a lot of his songs are sad in that way, a lot of them aren't. Also, the best thing is going to his shows and playing "I saw Elliott smile" - he'll go a whole show with his eyes closed and no facial expressions and then someone will make a silly request and he'll laugh. He also covers John Lennon's "Jealous Guy," Big Star's "Thirteen," George Harrison's "Isn't It a Pity" etc. And some of his songs are so wonderful and I can't see how they'd be interpreted as anything but optimistic: say yes, between the bars, etc. Honestly, if you see him play I think your opinion may very well change. I just saw him the past two Wednesdays and he did totally different sets and was incredible both times. For those of you not into his solo acoustic kinda stuff, his new album XO (which is out in the states on Aug. 25, I don't know when it's out in England) has a different more Beatles-ish sound with lots of cool instrumentation. :) Rachel "I'm the queen of the castle when no one's around and I'll give you my number when my feet touch the ground" -- the weekend "well you can't get even but you can get mad and it's not funny no and it's not sad it's just a feeling that I've always had look out world I'm about to be bad" -- Kirsty MacColl, "Bad" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- my Mary Lou Lord page is at http://pages.nyu.edu/~rkb200/ To join the Mary Lou Lord mailing list, email Majordomo at smoe.org with ONLY "subscribe jinglejangle" OR "subscribe jinglejangle-digest" in the BODY.

It was great, it was full of like minded gay homosexuals who winked at me as I minced about laughing fayly. There was also one of those boys who dresses up as a lady and tells rude jokes. I found that a little scary, basically cos her colours did nothing for her and her hair was a mess. And that was just upstairs! Downstairs they were filming the thing. Now this was my first step into the world of television, and I reckon I was pretty good. I played the part of someone in the pub, watching some bands play. I was instructed to act naturally, like I was really enjoying myself. It took me a while to get the motivation right, but once I did I was great. By the end of the thing I was even clapping and whooping at the same time. Looper played four songs I think- the single, something with a wee megaphone, festival95 and spaceboy one. Someone said: Isn't it funny how this is filming for digital tv, so that the sound will be crystal clear. Then Loopy Stuart goes and sings through a mini megaphone, to make it all distorted. "Faced with reality in a dream" or what. Tube. It was very sweet I like looper. Now then, as you know I've never been one to voice my opinions but this will change now. I had never seen V-Twin before but I had heard and quite enjoyed that "gifted" song. But my god they are pish. Wee Chris was rockin out on the guitar on one tune which was entertaining. Or it would have been if they were any use. Utter shite. My acting abilities were really pushed to the limit to play the pleased punter in the pub after that monstrosity. I'm sure they're nice lads an that though. And that was about it. Miss Julia and I returned upstairs where she wanted to watch the drag act but I pulled her out forcefully, crying. Hello! to the sleepy challenged listee Calumn who we met last night. Hello Calumn.

It only takes a few minutes to read. *On Seeing the 100 percent Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning* by Haruki Murakami One beautiful April morning, on a narrow side street in Tokyo's fashionable Harajuku neighbourhood, I walk past the 100 percent perfect girl. Tell you the truth, she's not that good-looking. She doesn't stand out in any way. Her clothes are nothing special. The back of her hair is still bent out of shape from sleep. She isn't young, either - must be near thirty, not even close to a 'girl', properly speaking. But still, I know from fifty yards away: She's the 100 percent perfect girl for me. The moment I see her, there's a rumbling in my chest, and my mouth is as dry as a desert. Maybe you have your own particular favourite type of girl - one with slim ankles, say, or big eyes, or graceful fingers, or you're drawn for no good reason to girls who take their time with every meal. I have my own preferences, of course. Sometimes in a restaurant I'll catch myself staring at the girl at the table next to mine because I like the shape of her nose. But no one can insist that his 100 percent perfect girl correspond to some preconceived type. Much as I like noses, I can't recall the shape of hers - or even if she had one. All I can remember for sure is that she was no great beauty. It's weird. - Yesterday on the street I passed the 100 percent perfect girl, I tell someone. - Yeah? he says. Good looking? - Not really. - Your favourite type, then? - I don't know. I can't seem to remember anything about her - the shape of her eyes or the size of her breasts. - Strange. - Yeah. Strange. - So anyhow, he says, already bored, what did you do? Talk to her? Follow her? - Nah. Just passed her on the street. She's walking east to west, and I west to east. It's a really nice April morning. Wish I could talk to her. Half an hour would be plenty: just ask her about herself, tell her about myself, and - what I'd really like to do - explain to her the complexities of fate that have led to our passing each other on a side street in Harajuku on a beautiful April morning in 1981. This was something sure to be crammed full of warm secrets, like an antique clock built when peace filled the world. After talking, we'd have lunch somewhere, maybe see a Woody Allen movie, stop by a hotel bar for cocktails. With any kind of luck, we might end up in bed. Potentiality knocks on the door of my heart. Now the distance between us has narrowed to fifteen yards. How can I approach her? What should I say? - Good morning, miss. Do you think you could spare half an hour for a little conversation? Ridiculous. I'd sound like an insurance salesman. - Pardon me, but would you happen to know if there is an all-night cleaners in the neighbourhood? No, this is just as ridiculous. I'm not carrying any laundry, for one thing. Who's going to buy a line like that? Maybe the simple truth would do. - Good morning. You are the 100 percent perfect girl for me. No, she wouldn't believe it. Or even if she did, she might not want to talk to me. Sorry, she could say, I might be the 100 percent perfect girl for you, but you're not the 100 percent perfect boy for me. It could happen. And if I found myself in that situation, I'd probably go to pieces. I'd never recover from the shock. I'm thirty-two, and that's what growing older is all about. We pass in front of a flower shop. A small, warm air mass touches my skin. The asphalt is damp, and I catch the scent of roses. I can't bring myself to speak to her. She wears a white sweater, and in her right hand she holds a crisp white envelope lacking only a stamp. So: she's written somebody a letter, maybe spent the whole night writing, to judge from the sleepy look in her eyes. The envelope could contain every secret she's ever had. I take a few more strides and turn: She's lost in the crowd. Now, of course, I know exactly what I should have said to her. It would have been a long speech, though, far too long for me to have delivered it properly. The ideas I come up with are never very practical. Oh well. It would have started: Once upon a time, and ended: A sad story, don't you think? Once upon a time, there lived a boy and a girl. The boy was eighteen and the girl sixteen. He was not unusually handsome, and she was not especially beautiful. They were just an ordinary lonely boy and an ordinary lonely girl, like all the others. But they believed with their whole hearts that somewhere in the world there lived the 100 percent perfect boy and the 100 percent perfect girl for them. Yes, they believed in a miracle. And that miracle actually happened. One day, the two came upon each other on the corner of a street. - This is amazing, he said. I've been looking for you all my life. You may not believe this, but you are the 100 percent perfect girl for me. - And you, she said to him, are the 100 percent perfect boy for me, exactly as I'd pictured you in every detail. It's like a dream. They sat on a park bench, held hands, and told each other their stories hour after hour. They were not lonely any more. They had found and been found by their 100 percent perfect other. What a wonderful thing it is to find and be found by your 100 percent perfect other. It's a miracle, a cosmic miracle. As they sat and talked, however, a tiny, tiny sliver of doubt took root in their hearts: Was it really all right for one's dreams to come true so easily? And so, when there came a momentary lull in their conversation, the boy said to the girl: - Let's test ourselves, just once. If we really are each other's 100 percent perfect lovers, then sometime, somewhere, we will meet again without fail. And when that happens, and we know that we are the 100 percent perfect ones, we'll marry then and there. What do you think? - Yes, she said, that is exactly what we should do. And so they parted, she to the east, and he to the west. The test they had agreed upon, however, was utterly unnecessary. They should never have undertaken it, because they really and truly were each other's 100 percent perfect lovers, and it was a miracle that they had ever met. But it was impossible for them to know this, young as they were. The cold, indifferent waves of fate proceeded to toss them unmercifully. One winter, both the boy and the girl came down with the season's terrible influenza, and after drifting for weeks between life and death they lost all memory of their earlier years. When they awoke, their heads were as empty as the young DH Lawrence's piggy bank. They were two bright, determined people, however, and through their unremitting efforts they were able to acquire once again the knowledge and feeling that qualified them to return as fully-fledged members of society. Heaven be praised, they became truly upstanding citizens who knew how to transfer from one subway line to another, who were fully capable of sending a special-delivery letter at the post office. Indeed, they even experienced love again, sometimes as much as 75 percent or even 85 percent love. Time passed with shocking swiftness, and soon the boy was thirty-two, the girl thirty. One beautiful April morning, in search of a cup of coffee to start the day, the boy was walking from west to east, while the girl, intending to send a special-delivery letter, was walking from east to west, both along the same narrow street in the Harajuku neighbourhood of Tokyo. They passed each other in the very centre of the street. The faintest gleam of their lost memories glimmered for the briefest moment in their hearts. Each felt a rumbling in their chest. And they knew: She is the 100 percent perfect girl for me. He is the 100 percent perfect boy for me. But the glow of their memories was far too weak, and their thoughts no longer had the clarity of fourteen years earlier. Without a word, they passed each other, disappearing into the crowd. Forever. A sad story, don't you think? Yes, that's it. That is what I should have said to her. **************************************************************************** ******************************* Take care, DAVID +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

She didn't mind. She had taken to wearing no panties, so as not to feel anything between her cheeks and the soft, supple tips of Sebastian's fingers. "Baby got back!" Sebastian was heard to scream out on a regular basis. "I like big butts and I cannot lie". While Belle knew this was sexist and she should rebel against it, she couldn't help but feel aroused and curious. And more the latter. One thing led to another, and Belle got pregnant. The thing was...she didn't know whose it was. It was like something straight out of a Montel show. It could've been Richard's. Those three weeks in Brazil left her sore. Or it could be Stevie's. Ahhhh....poor little Stevie. Cursed with such a small member, she couldn't help but feel pity. The fifty bucks he gave her didn't hurt, either. But deep in her heart she knew it was Stuart David's. She could hear the baby late at night kicking and screaming in the womb going "Let me out of here. This is pish!" Chris had taken notice of the changes in his friends, and this started a flurry of activity in his drug addled brain. He had so many schemes cooked up he couldn't keep up with them all. He decided he was gonna extort money from Mr. Murdoch. He was gonna threaten to give a real, proper interview if he didn't have a large paper bag full of money sitting on his doorstep by 6AM. Of course, Murder One (as he had taken to calling himself after the formation of his gangsta rap side project, the Bus-Tang Clan) didn't stand for it. As Wee Chris was injecting some unknown fluid through the veins in his penis, Murder burst through the door and jacked his fool ass up. "Bitch" he spat. "Nobody fucks with Murder One, fool." The band was failing. No one was getting along anymore. Only Sarah still showed a bit of interest, when she wasn't out pimping Mick Cooke out to other bands. "100 dollars for a blow" she was known to say. Poor Mick had turned tricks for so many bands he couldn't keep up. He started playing Belle and Sebastian bits in the Amphetameanies songs and Amphetameanie bits in Belle and Sebastian songs. Murder had a hit put out on him. But now they've got their shit together. They're writing songs again. It's kind of hard for Mick to play trumpet cause Murder had it rammed up his ass to teach him a lesson. Belle brings her baby, Raoul, to every practice. Wee Chris has kicked the smack. Stuart D took an anger management class. And the rest of the band has finally learned not to "fuck with the formula". Everything's coming up roses. ________________________________________________ -brad +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

But, it's been a lovely year (HAS it been that long?). I've read some beautiful and some amusing things; found new music and books and poetry and films that I love thanks to sinisterian recommendations; been lucky enough to see the band twice; met people and made friends, both in #sinister and in the "real" world, and I've laughed and even cried with one or two. Not bad for a year's work, no? It's kind of neat that the year started off awaiting a tour, and is now finishing up the same way -- hopeful anticipation on both ends. Play nice kids, this is a wonderful place. Now, let's follow this sappy sentiment up with some complete vulgarity and rudeness, ok? simone/michele, who finally bought a box of Jaffa cakes tonight to see what they were all about.

I would have said that the Undergound is a far more "Belle and Sebastian" kind of place. It's quite small and friendly (while The Cockpit is quite grungy) with lots of tables round the dance floor and excellent garlic bread at their food counter. On Friday's it's The Cooker. It's the only night I've never been there, so don't know what it's like, except that it's some kind of sixties thang (and Soul's been covered at Move On Up on Wednesdays). Anyone else know? Having said all this I have a friend visiting that weekend, so whether I'll go to any of these places after the gig is far from certain...

First off, I've never seen anyone so cocked while on stage before. Dave was glass-eyed and a bit slow in singing. They took about a one-minute break between each song for the first five or six. Of course, the wafting smell of pot didn't help either. I felt like I was at a Dead show. Nonetheless, it was fun anyway. I don't know if anyone has mentioned the Hang-ups, but I recommend them if you at all like P!O!P!. The lyrics are substandard -- then again after discovering groups like B&S and Trash Can Sinatras most lyrics seem inconsequential -- but the music is very, very catchy. Picked up the new Aluminum Group album a couple of weeks ago. I somewhat disagree with an earlier post regarding them. I don't think they quite sound like B&S. They sound a little like an early '80s new-wave (similar to Blow Monkeys) sometimes loungy/synth outfit. Very sensitive lyrics, perhaps that is the area of similarity with B&S that the person was thinking of. A couple of songs sound quite a bit like Magnetic Fields. Anyone hear the new Catchers album?

Keeping to the subject of children as main characters, Kolya as an incredible film, which will make you weep. (again, sorry if it's already been said.)

Message-ID: <01bdd25d$2c2ed4a0$LocalHost@itjfvkli> *---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* As you all know, I'm really dead hard and working class and stuff. In spite of this, I must agree with Molly that "Kolya" is a smashing film, especially the cinema bit. In fact I was so worried about bursting into big girlie tears that I got up and kicked fuck out of the screen and panelled everyone in sight so that no one would notice. Of course, the classic film with kiddies in is "Whistle Down the Wind". I think the director is Bryan Forbes, Nanette Newman's husband, but I'm so far from sure. Nanette Newman sings on "You Can't Always Get What You Want". I've never quite got the hang of that little P!O!O! fact. "From Chariot's Vault -16 Reggae Hits -Volume 2" is the spookily appropriate title of my latest musical purchase. It's great. My new hero is Denzil Laing. It also includes a highly erotic track called "Bedroom Mazurka", very much in keeping with the B&S ethic. I also bought "The Donkey Years" by Derrick Harriot and the Jiving Juniors, but I don't like it quite as much, apart from one or two tracks. All quiet on the Watson front this week. I disapprove wholeheartedly. "What is the use," thought Alice, "of a birthday party without Keith?" A good magazine to read is Record Collector. It has lots of interesting articles about obscure old artists and when you've finished them you can read all the adverts at the back until you go blind. I recently read all about Sonny Bono and Doctor John, neither of whom had previously interested me in excess, but I found it quite entertaining. I suppose it might appeal more to the sad old fart brigade, but you could always give it a whirl, pop-kids!

Now some of you may feel that Record Collector is a particularly sad magazine for particularly sad people, so I feel it neccessary to point out that I do not buy Record Collector myself. My boss at work regularly spends fifty quid on a rare mono pressing of some Monkees compilation that he's already got, hence Record Collector. Of course I don't buy any music magazines myself, nor do I listen to the radio or watch popular music programmes on the television.

Message-ID: <35E6BACE.D8F63ADD@aom.ericsson.se> *---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Hello You. On Monday, I returned to my temporary home in Sweden, after being e-mailless for a week to find that the Stockholm date had been announced. I got on the phone as soon as I found out, but was unfortunately too late. All tickets had been sold out. This was not a good start to the week. However, being the extremely cautious boy that I am, I had a contingency plan in place. I had purchased two tickets for the London gig way back when, just in case. As it happens, my boss wants me to go to England to do a few days work some time in September, which means a free flight for me and my tickets. I gave him my list of preferred dates, all of which contained Monday September 7th. Then the rumours started. The gig in Stockholm was being moved to a bigger venue, and another three hundred tickets were going on sale. Constant pestering of Pet Sounds in Stockholm finally paid off, and I'm now the proud owner of tickets for both London and Stockholm (or at least I will be, barring any Swedish postal disasters). [Quick question at this point - does anybody know who the support will be in Stockholm?] Unfortunately, I have now found out that my trip to England will most likely be cancelled. It's not certain yet - I'll know for definite first thing on Monday morning, but it's about 90% certain that I won't be going. If I had heard this earlier in the week, I'd most certainly have booked a flight myself, but seeing as I have my ticket for Stockholm, I've decided to pass my London tickets on to some deserving soul out there, and save my money for whores and crack. As I've said, there is still a 10% chance that I'll be holding on to the tickets myself, but if I'm not, then I want to be able to send them on as early as possible next week. Mail me if you want them. I'm not doing a first-mail-to-me-gets-the-booty, 'cos I always thing that's unfair to the people who do something with their lives, and don't sit in front of a computer all day waiting for mail. Instead, as a sort of a tie-break you have to tell me, in however many words it takes, why the hell you didn't buy the tickets when they went on sale originally. Like I did. Extra points will be awarded if your story is extremely embarassing, and you send it to the list by accident. And priority will go to those people that I owe tapes to - they are on their way, honest. I'll be selling them at the price I paid for them (which is face value plus Ticketmasters outrageous costs for sending tickets out foreign, even though they don't record or register the delivery, which caused major stress in my household recently). Proceeds from the sale will go towards buying an arab strap, the mechanisms of which I am still a little unfamiliar with, but was wondering if they will now become obsolete what with Viagra and all. When I'm finished playing with it, I'll be flinging it stagewards to Stevie in Stockholm. Knickers are so Tom Jones. So get those mails sent soon folks - I'll be picking the lucky recipient at lunchtime on Monday. I'll send a mail to all the unfortunate losers telling them that I could go to London after all, and they'll never be any the wiser.

The people were happy jolly and frolicsome. They were even more happy because the king's jester put on big shows which everyone got into for free. One day the king realized that the jester's shows were using up all the money in the treasury. Taxes were having to be raised, and inflation was getting too high for comfort. The king hinted to his good friend the jester to spend less on the shows, and the jester, being friendly but not used to handling money, saw the problem and cut down spending. In a speech to his people, the king announced to the kingdom that their economy was fine as he had ironed out a few problems. The jester wasn't sure quite what to make of the speech, so he went to ask the king the next day. The king had drunk 3 yards of ale after the speech and was feeling the worse for it that morning. When the jester asked him exactly what he meant, the usually quiet king snapped at him for once. Hurt, the jester walked out of the castle and kept to his jesters house for a while. After that, he caught a galleon and moved to a faraway island. The people were still pleasant, but lacked a certain vitality that they had before. When millions of refugees arrived, this mood immersed them too, and soon the once jolly kingdom was like all the others on that continent.

I have decided that the time I fell off the tramps bike after the picnic and banged my head was just a blip in my cycling career. Anyhow I demonstrated my roadworthiness to everyone after the Salako thing by taking my turn to cycle to the end of the road and back on this bicycle someone had left for our entertainment. I managed not to put my feet on the ground, and was timed by steady Mike's stopwatch, coming in at an impressive 1 minute 5 seconds. I was beaten into second place only by Trousers because of his mean, streamlined aerodynamic shirt. Which you unfortunately can't see his nipples in, although it is rather tight. Like a psychadelic Tour de France yellow jersey. Only not yellow. Anyway I have bought a bicycle because people fancy you more on a bike. No, they do! It gives you a certain something, makes you look sort of bookish and interesting, a cycling free-spirit. I found this contraption in Loot for �20, so anticipating a bargain as usual, I bought it. Only the chain came off on my way back, half way down Stoke Newington high street and sent me carreeing into a lady with a pram on a zebra crossing. But I survived. The mother and baby however are receiving vital lifesaving surgery at Guy's. No, but I am telling the truth about the chain, actually the gears don't work either. It's a heap of shit, but at least it won't get nicked. But my dilemma is whether to helmet, or not to helmet. See, I have this idea that a helmet makes you look like a spoon, but I reckon if you go the whole hog and wear a smog mask too you look like a cool urban warrior type and can then pull at 'Reclaim the Streets!' and save trees too. Bike to the future!

Right here's a plan for Monday for those who are going to the Glasgow gig. We meet in the Java Cafe on Gibson Street at 16:30 hours. How's that? They sometimes have food, if not there's a take away next door and ho ho a pub. For those who don't know how to get there I shall now tell you. Get the Underground to Kelvinbridge; it's dead close to there. Leave the station by the main exit i.e. go up the big escalator to Great Western Road. Turn right and walk smartly to the traffic lights. Turn right again and you should be able to see the park. Walk right down this road and try not to be distracted by the "World of Video" shop. Java cafe is at the far corner, across from the church. If anyone's coming can you mail me today or tomorrow so we can keep an eye out for you. And it's nearly competition deadline time, you'd better get the finger out.

Message-ID: *---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Why is it that at every gig I've been to in Cambridge recently, there's been a bloke in the audience waving a sink plunger? This is getting beyond bizarre. I think we need a prize for whoever waves the most surreal item at the gigs next week... Well anyway, the summer has come to an end (albeit the clodest and wettest summer for about 10 years... So much for global warming...), and I finished work yesterday. So now I'm going back to my parents' place in Yorkshire for the next month. Unfortunately you can't get rid of me that easily, as I'll still see loads of you hopefully at the gigs next weekend; but I'm departing from the list as of, ooh, about 30 minutes time. Be good while I'm gone, don't do anything I wouldn't do... If anyone wants to get in touch (about the gigs for example...) you can try my other address The_Tall_Git at hotmail.com which might get to me sooner, or if it's urgent, like you need somewhere to stay near Leeds or something, email Ed Mason on emason at move.u-net.com who's got my phone number (I'm sure he won't mind!) And remember, if you see a devilishly handsome virile young man at any of the gigs, it won't be me. But if you see someone ridiculously tall it probably will be, so come and say hello!

Allegedly" and then: "Despite making music that conjures up images of sandals, cardigans, and straw protruding from crooked teeth, Belle & sebastian, a chronically shy Glaswegian septet, are nevertheless a quietly wondrous proposition. Unashamedly folk, their songs are as fractured as Nick Drake's and as lyricallysharp as anything that ever came from morrisey's nib, while singer Stuart Murdoch has a voice thatis pithched half way between Donovan and a church mouse. As with previous outings, this record is all aural eggshels andemmotional hesitancy, demanding a certainpatience frm the listener. And although there's nothing to match the sheer ebulience of earlier single Lazy Line Painter Jane, there's still ample evidence here to suggest they're capable of producing a classic before very long." The reviewer, nick duerden, gives it 4 stars, which is the same as the manics album gets, only they get a whole page and a big picture, and a big article as well, but B&S'll lick em in the charts. on other matters, the new chart show replacement is crap, electrasy, suggs, faithless, moby, bollocks, even the chart show was better. And jeepster what's with the cheapo packaging on the salako album, it'll go all skanky, but the contents are good. my appologies for talking shite. please dont look at my home page, if you appreciate quality, easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~zulu/ see you tommorow glasgowing peeps colin. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

When it didn't seem to be stopping I reluctantly pulled my mind out of bed and opened the door. The first signs were good - the kitchen floor wasn't covered in feathers - but when I turned the light on it was reflected in the guilty eyes of the littlest cat, who paused for a moment, caught mid-catch. She had a mouse, which was emitting the beeps. The cat threw the mouse up in the air one more time, defiantly, but when I approached she seized it and fled. I turned the light out and went back to bed. it was nearly five o clock. Later, in more reasonable, daytime hours, I and my small friend were distracted from our scone-making by the dog, who was barking at something in the garden. It was the mouse. For reasons known only to herself, the littlest cat had abandoned it, and although it seemed to be barely hurt, it was too shocked by the whole experience to make a proper getaway. I put it in a box, then moved it to a bucket, and then an empty hamster cage. Satisfied that I had done all I could, the only thing left was the name (all things which live in the house must have names). I asked my friend, who looked at it for a while, and then gravely decided on "Frog". I decided not to argue - the reasoning processes of three-year olds are best left alone. So, Frog the mouse is now residing in my bedroom. I did some initial research on mice to find out what to feed him, but the books would only help me in determining his type (Frog is a house-mouse). I have given him some hamster food and a malteser. He seems unimpressed. Does anybody know what mice eat?

You know, like you're not actually supposed to give cats milk, but boy do they love it. Cheese, too, come to think of it. Or at least ours do. I'm not absolutely positive, but I'll bet dogs like cheese as well. But me, I hate cheese. Yet, I like milk. Hopefully your mouse won't be at all like me, else you'll have to be feeding it french fries (or "chips" I suppose ;)... So I finally got a second tape of Tigermilk (lost the first one) and I've decided that I like it much better this time around. As for the first couple of times, my favorite song, contrary to popular opinion, is Electronic Renaissance. Actually one of my favorite songs by them at the moment, though I haven't heard the new album because a certain departing listee took too long sending me a dub ;) No matter, I'm content having heard "Rhoda" which is vastly more hip than hearing the new album, especially since I'm not even sure where it came from, or perhaps where it'll go. Oh yes, back to Tigermilk. Well I think that it has some songs which are stunningly wonderful, and I finally brought myself to enjoy "The State I Am in," the first time I listened to the album proper. It must have taken a good 20 listes before I could listen to it without saying "This is pish." Anyway, there are several songs on the album that I think are kinda weak, so I'm going to say that it isn't as reliable as ...Sinister..., but the high points are higher. Tigermilk is like a series of steep pinnacles and valleys, whereas Sinister is a lovely soft plateau that doesn't reach quite as high, but likewise doesn't reach quite as low.

Message-ID: <01bdd4b9$d1816b80$LocalHost@itjfvkli> *---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Good morning troops. At ease! May I applaud Belle and Sebastian for the touching gesture of organising the first concert of their major world tour to coincide with the first anniversary of the tragic death of Our Lady of Sorrows, Diana, Princess of Wales. Sadly, I won't be able to attend tonight's performance, but I'll be clutching my Fantasy Song League coupon in fevered anticipation of a 5p song double whammy from nippy little winger Mad Dog Murdoch. Yesterday I was listening to Reading Festival on the radio. It was SUPERGRASS, and when they did their enormous hit song they were boosted by large-scale audience participation. I suddenly had a terrifying vision of a field full of thousands of identical ROD BEGBIES singing "Have a fag, stub it out" in happy unison. I also heard RANCID. They were pretty poo, but not quite as bad as I had imagined. They did a SHAM 69 cover for a start, so that can't be bad. In an interview situation they tend towards the monosyllabic, but they did claim to have lots of fans in Jamaica. Can this be true? What else did I hear? ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN - not the same without the proper drummer - and a very pleasant BUTCH VIG interview. I hope you're all going to give Oon a traditional warm-hearted Glasgow welcome - staright off the train and into the Horseshoe Bar for at least four pints.

Sandwiched between kurt loder shout outs for the forthcoming Motley Crue album and the Celine Dion Christmas album, was a shout out for the upcoming B&S. i almost cried.... they're going to get popular and forget us all, just like everyone does. _______________________ shit, i already used up all my vacation days and they're going to be playing in Athens right before the halloween weekend- that would be MOST fun. That will definitely be the show to catch!!!!!! Athens is by far one of the coolest towns in the states and B&S will love it there. ah, thank god for sick days!!!!!! _______________________ anyway, for all the ranting i did before, i am so happy that they are playing in philly- : ). .scott On 29 August at 02:43 GMT, Nicola4230 wrote: *---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* ohmigod!!! did you just see that?? kurt loder announced "TBWTAS" release on MTV news...

The DGC deal was rather sad. I felt the Mommyheads were one of the greatest pop bands to come around when they were introduced. Anyway, Swimming in my Girlfriend's Pool is on Coming into Beauty, thier first release, and is usually buried in most CD stores Used CD bin, or you can look on http://www.gemm.com/ to find it. Gemm always has lots of rare CDs. Does anyone know if the Athens date has been confirmed? Also, who is playing in support on the east coast? bye y'all!

In his career in the industry, Seymour has discovered some of the most successful (both artistically and commercially) musicians in recent history: Madonna, the Smiths, Talking Heads, Barenaked Ladies, The Replacements, Depeche Mode, kd Lang, The Ramones, Seal, Echo & the Bunnymen, Ministry, the Pretenders -- we can only hope not to be a big greasy stain on his resume. And despite the overwhelming respect we have for our new friend Seymour, some strange force seems to be compelling us to print his photo with his neck craning out of out stupid Gusbus drawing, with that stupid Guster Hat on his head, and with a stupid thought-bubble thrown in to top it all off... okay, okay, well, even if it has nothing to do with the song, you must admit that the picture of seymour stein wearing one of those stupid guster hats is pretty damn funny. hope everyone can view it!

Break out the bubbly! The "little" indie store I frequent can't keep a copy in-stock. Uncle Sam's in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale is becoming quite large, actually. Erp, well, I can't exactly say that I feel sorry for Best Buy and Blockbuster Music. They'll get theirs soon...
