I am after a good copy of "Tigermilk". I haven`t got £150 spare right now (but if I had....) so a copy is my only way of hearing this. The reason I say good copy is that a friend of mine has just bought a CD-R, so I can the tape put on CD, then I can run off copies for anyone in future who wants one. Here`s hoping that someone can help, David. -- David Walker Paul Weller Links And Information: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Towers/6411/links.html Paul Weller Trading Post: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Towers/6411/trade.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

He tried a few guitar tunes that didn't quite come off - the songs weren't very good. On the other hand, when he was funky he was very funky indeed. Hello to all the chums who were there too. On the advice of Mr.Steve Voeks, I bought the Massive Attack single today which rules, and also a new Blaxploitation compilation which totally rules too - I bought that one by accident, but it was a great buy. I'm actually fighting for things to say here - the list's gone really quiet at the moment. Even RoDDdNNneYY isn't talking so much. Well I guess everyone's geared up for this London soiree this weekend, I'm sorry I can't be there, but it's on a Monday which means it's impossible - unless I want the sack. However I will look forward to going to one of the Bluesoda Socialist Worker's meetings in maybe a couple of months. MILLER, I can confirm that Ooooooooon in fact does not look like Yul Brynner - but that the bloke who drove our bus across to glasgow did! I saw a picture of Oooooooooon at Christmas time though at Paul's flat, and the scene is indeed reminiscent of the King and I. Big Andy! Were you on internet chat the other day talking to my internet virtual-robo-cyber chums? They told me someone came on as Bg Bouzer and claimed to be a friend of mine - I'm assuming this was in fact you. Anyway Andy, give us a call to go out for a drink some time.

What a nice roommate. My suitemate snuck into my room at three am to try to finish a paper. She was still banging away at the keyboard when I left at eight. She does this with every major paper and exam... starts them the night before when she's had all semester to prepare. I'm guilty too, I do the same thing. Yet she recently took from 7PM to 4AM to write a four page paper which she had already outlined and researched. A little slow, the girl is. The more I avoid schoolwork, the more negative I become. Then i told him about this mailing list and the picnics > and how i thought it was cool, blah blah, already liking people you > havent met, blah blah, and he told me its that same mentality that > Hitler used.

My friend and I found this tiny book called "The Little Red Schoolbook" at her university library a couple years ago. It contained explanations of drugs and sex and whatnot using the slang that was current at the time of publication. My favorite bit was on "dirty old men," who were explained away as generally harmless and usually lonely, horny people. We shared this with our friends at work, and we all laughed hysterically together. Now I will go eat breakfast and begin my studies. As I write my loooong paper about John Donne, I will listen to DOW. XOXO to all of you, and apologies for my negativity. After finals, I think the majority of this list will return to happy bunnydom.

Well I'm going to tell you anyway: I went over to the hellhole that is Gravesend last night to view the multimedia (please excuse the entirely innacurate hyperbole) extravaganza that is Lee & Herring on tour. People outside the UK will not know of this fine comedic duo, but rest assured it was quite funny. Anyway, afterwards I presented Mr. Stewart Lee (who is also a part-time music journalist and a man of good musical taste) with a tape copy of Tigermilk. He was very very happy, and told me that he once heard it playing in a shop, but that they refused to sell it to him. And I walked off into the night giggling with my friend. Hurrah!

I wasn't trying to say that all B&S fans are dispossed/alienated/disfuntional people(far from it, most of the listees I've met so far seem almost supernaturaly sorted.) just that anyone who does feel intimidated about meeting us shouldn't because I'm guessing that we're all pretty friendly, accepting people. I certainly don't consider myself a "stereotypical" B&S fan, my musical tastes are pretty eclectic and I certainly don't just sit under trees reading poetry and stuff....... Oh bugger it.

It's May Day, so get your McCarthy albums out and sing Ho! for the life of a worker! Thank you Sarah for your entertaining story about a night out with Fatty Bum Bum in Preston. The Preston Picnic obviously ROCKED and has more me much more jealous than any of the others. Congratulations for speaking to the Strap Man. I think the mayor of Falkirk is missing out on a great opportunity to promote Falkirk as the home of pervy speak-a-pop. They could have tourist board posters of local scenes with slogans taken form Arab Strap songs, for example, a picture of a local publican pulling a nice creamy pint of real ale accompanied by the words "Falkirk - and then she wanked me off", or the local vicar standing in fornt of the church "Falkirk - it was the biggest cock you've ever seen", or a photo of a local middle aged couple indulging in a spot of foreplay "Falkirk - and then I fiddled with her bits". I think it's a winner, but I'd never mention it in public. I'm dead jealous because Keith went to see Money Mark. I think he's just lovely. If the Wu Tang Clan have really got a beauty parlour it must be a cunning front for a pornographic prostitution gun running ring or something, like that one Duglas BMX Bandit runs in Glasgow. I think that's more than enough from me. I'm sure there were other things to answer..oh yes, thanks Paul Pish for clearing up a couple of my doubts. I have many more. Adrian, isn't it time for a dead animal update? I saw a dead dog this morning, it didn't half make me jump - twice, once when I passed it for the first time and then again on my way back. I've been for a nice long walk you see. In the rain, because I'm a Belle and Sebastian fan. On acid. Who's been fucking foxes? And why did they talk to Keith about it?

A couple of years ago, I went down to London for the day (to see David Letterman recording... oh, the shame). As it turned out, that day the fannies were doing an instore in HMV on Oxford Street. So we went to see them, and when they did the signing bit, I asked them to write a postcard to a friend of mine. They obliged, and my friend still has the card pinned to her wall with the message "Hi Dawn! It's Norm here from Teenage Fanclub. We're hanging out in London with Rod." Norm Blake is like Duglas Stewart -- It's impossible to listen to their between song banter without breaking into an enormous cheesey grin! I went to the Beltane Festival thing last night, but due to being on antibiotics at the moment, I was unable to drink anything. Boy, was that a bizarre experience! Last year, when I was off my face, it all made perfect sense. Last night, I was wandering around wondering what, exactly, the naked red blokes represented, and whether the other naked blokes were green or blue. Them pagans really knew how to throw a party. What's everyone's favourite drugs? My vote goes to "Disprol Soluble Paracetemol Tablets for Children". All the goodness of paracetemol, and they taste (and fizz) like orange Refreshers. And so, tibet. Rod.

Leaning up agains a barrier at the bus station and smoking a cigarette, I was doing my best to look like Phil Ochs off the front of 'All The News That's Fit To Sing', but suspected I looked like Jack Duckworth off the back of a lorry. Sarah didn't seem to mind too much. I provided the sandwiches and Sarah provided the tasty crisps and bourbon (biccies), and we sat in the park and talked about you lot and stuff. It was cool. At the pub, we laughed and rudely pointed at the Evillest Woman In The World, and by accident we met my friends Steve and Zoe, who are cool. Zoe owns a Tigermilk, which she bought from Sister Ray last summer for eight pounds, so whilst we like her, we also resent her ever so slightly. But that's another Tigermilk for the register. Is anyone maintaining the register? We had a top time and you all missed it. What we saw of Arab Strap was fine, we could even hear some of the words. They are indeed a disgrace to Falkirk. We might have anohter Belle and Sebastian Preston picnic when Jad Fair plays in a few weeks time. Any of you north westerners fancy it? Eh? Nothing better for rounding off a picnic evening than hearing an American singing like a strangled chicken, I always think. Oh, one more thing. Miller wrote: >Thank you Sarah for your entertaining story about a night out with Fatty Bum >Bum in Preston. The Preston Picnic obviously ROCKED and has more me much >more jealous than any of the others. I know for A FACT (ie I've just made it up) that there were at least twenty subscribers to this list from Spain, and they all left immediately the idea of the picnics arose. Half because they couldn't afford the money to meet Miller's legendary appetite for Twiglets, and half because they couldn't stand the thought of his smell. Have a cool weekend kids, and don't engage in any rockist activities without checking it out with the list first. Cheers Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: <354B7F8E.53AC13C8@dial.pipex.com> OK, it's almost World Cup time and I got to thinking about a particular scenario: England/Scotland/whatever country you support/ are in the World Cup Final. You're going to watch the game on TV, or, even better, you have somehow magically got tickets for the match itself. Yet, a day before the game you learn that, on the same night as the World Cup Final, Belle and Sebastian are playing their last ever gig in your hometown. Which would you go to? What made me think of this, I don't know, but it is an interesting quandry in a totally meaningless, hypothetical kind of way. Went to see Catatonia yesterday and they were absolutely fab; one of the best gigs I've *ever* been to, though I haven't seen B&S...yet. Cerys is just an absolute star: someone threw her a cellophane wrapped bunch of daffodils and she was *so* sweet. Aw! Ooh, I've just made my first post for ages and I haven't got anything else to say about my quiet little life, so I think I'll go.

Pardon if I lag on my digests. Just had to reply to our directory assistance operator, 'cause I used to do that job summers while I was in college. We used to get this guy who called asking for the number of "Big Dick Liquors." When he got neither a rise nor a number out of the operator he would keep trying. "What about 'Hard Dick Liquors,' and every other permutation a dirty little mind can think up. The funny thing was that most of us would helpfully offer the listing for "Ball Liquors" (a real establishment!), but he never 'got it'. What a dope. But Bradford, for something really interesting you should consider being the zero op, where you spend an incredible percentage of your time talking to prison inmates. They've worked out a system of chirping, whistling, & blowing raspberries into the horn, which amazingly can trick a pay phone into believing they've deposited coins. When they aren't successful they drop onto the operator's line. One time I got this guy who was so carried away w/ his sound effects that he failed to dial a number. He had something like $11 of credit racked up. I just sat there listening to his antics till he finally stopped & I asked if he was done. Well I guess I'd better be done too, except to say that I enjoyed the Housemartins & once got in trouble at my conservative (religious) high school for writing "Take Marx, take Jesus, take hope" on the blackboard during Spanish class.

There's a "stargazing seminar" at my school and my friend and i arent in the class but we tagged along. After looking through telescopes and drinking luke-warm chocolate, my friend and i left the others and went on a walk. A dry wind made our hair fly as we walked along the dirt path, with no one in sight over the whole expanse of the dark desert. we walked until exhausted and then laid down on our backs among the cacti and watched the stars silently for a seeming eternity (i was actually getting kinda bored...) any how, thats not the "moment". we walked back to our tent and everyone else was asleep in their own so we went inside and decided to read. we only had one flashlight so i tied it to the top of the tent. there, silently in the dark, we read our books as the flashlight spotlight swung wildly over us to the gusting wind. it would swing over my book, over hers, along the walls... something about it was eerily special. then we truned off the flashlight and talked about our respective love-lives until we drifted off... do i sound cheesy to you guys? im not spacey really :O i was considering studying in london next year but i just got an offer to be editor of my school newspaper... but i hate it heeeerrrreee!!! and most of my good friends are leaving, help!! any advise? i'll probably stay, live alone, and turn into a bitter hag by the time im 21! im tired and it feels nice............. word. lindsay ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Like, she's only the girl in the second verse of Fox In t'snow because that's what Stuart Murdoch has made her. Does the music we listen to match up with our lives (get me away from here, i'm dying) or do our lives match up with our music? Scary stuff.

So we should be fine. -=- Information phone line. You can call us on 0181 560 1815 to check the details for the picnic, tomorrow after 11am this number will be used as a messaging service. It's just an ansaphone but will let you know where everyone will be if there are any problems or if it does pish down. You can also leave a message and we'll be attempting to check periodically to make sure that all's well. -=- Food. We're going to bring sopme basics (in small quantities) and some paper plates and plastic cutlery. The restis up to you. What we want is for everyone to bring one item for the masses, such as pringles and dips or cocktail sausage rolls, etc. This way we can build up more food than we can eat (always a good scenario) without seriously making anyone get out a mortgage for it. Because you only really have to bring one large item, we don't think it'll cost anyone more than £3/4 max, with more people paying only a pound or two for their contribution. And the aim? A massive communal buffet at no deep cost to anyone. -=- Games Confirmed games are; Connect 4 Buckaroo Twister Several people have said that they will be bringing footballs, rounders/baseball stuff and even a swingball. But that's really up to them and not us, so we hope to have those things, but if else fails there'll still be trees that need climbing and the hill itself that needs rolling down :) -=- Meeting up 2pm at Camden Town Tube Station. We're prepared to wait a while for late comers, but should we have left by the time you get there, then simply make your way to Primrose Hill and we'll meet you at the top. You get to Primrose hill by heading up the Parkway, and turning right up a residential road when you reach the set of traffic lights. This road sorta winds towards the foot of the hill, over a little bridge and past a church on its way. -=- That's it! We'll see you there.

Associated Rediffusion were one of the first ITV companies in Britain, and they used to run a TV Rental company. Therefore, I assume, "The Man from Rediffusion" was the telly repair bloke. Of course, they now make aeroplane simulators for the military, so it could be that... So anyway, back to that Euro(Trash|Vision) thing last night. Anyone else watch this? The Kenickies performed an astonishing version of "Save All Your Kisses For Me", which caused me to have a dream last night about bumping into Lauren Laverne in the Stirling branch of Our Price. As if that wasn't entertainment enough, Banarararararama performed Waterloo, wonderbra'd up to the chin, wearing wedding dresses, causing me to have my first "Who's your favourite member of Banararararararararama?" conversation since I was 9. (Siobbbbbbbhan, for those who care) And watch, as I seamlessly seague that last paragraph into the closest I've come to on-topic posting for months: The Kenickies' new single has been reviewed in the latest issue of Select, and in a hell-freezing-over style freak of probability, the reviewer compares it to Belle & Sebastian (!!!). I quote: "Kenickie, somewhat inevitably, display a new 'mature' direction with their first release in ages. Gone is the shoutalong rowdiness of 'Punka', replaced by a more melancholic sound with close affinities to Belle And Sebastian - acoustic guitars, poignant lyrics ("I'm in pieces/Can no one see it") and a glockenspiel finale. As delightfully tuneful as anything they've done to datre, and it's encouraging to hear that they haven't abandoned the 'la la la' backing vocals even if they have to pretend to be grown-ups now."

Names of other shops carrying indie band goods/CDs are also welcomed. Also are there any good clubs to check out for indie music? I'd appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thanks.

This sounds so very much like my art class that I thought ought to point it out. Except, after we thought of those things & how they made us feel, we'd have to plan out a plethora of potential projects encompassing one of each of the categories. Once done with the projects, we'd bring them into class and talk about their pros & cons for 5 boring weeks, and then have to revise them, attempting to make them more clear. Lets see, some potential projects... A purple crocodile slipping lazily down the Danube Sky blue kittens playing around the reeds of the serene lake at the Boy Scout camp I went to. A dark orange capybera (sp?) chasing excitedly after bikini-clad women at Hilton Head beach. A burnt sienna llama, looking rather pissed of in the rain (because she doesn't have an umbrella). Five off-white hamsters, bathing one another, poop pellets all about, on the floor of our shower. How do these make *you* feel? The answers "not amused in the slightest," "tingly all over," "frightened, frankly," "afraid for the future," "afraid for my life," and generally anything with being frightened in it are all unacceptable. Well...maybe the tingly one is okay. /"\_/"\_/"\ 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! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I wanted a copy of "Tigermilk" on tape. I was going to put it on a recordable CD (this process apparently takes 3 hours !) to save me having to keep it on tape. My tape player eats tapes and a copy would last a fortnight. 2. It is costing me an Inspiral Carpets milk bottle (down to my last 2 now) to get it copied. 3. I was never intending to bootleg it at all. Merely recording it on to CD as opposed to cassette. Is there a difference between different recording medias ? Where does mini disc stand ? So many people have had cassettes copied for them - are they too going to be threatened by legal action by Jeepster ? If I was going to be starting a widespread bootlegging operation (which would be hard without any relevant equipment) would I really have advertised so blatantly this fact, knowing full well that people close to the band are on this list ? When I referred to copying, I meant onto tape cassette. I would have thought a master copy on CD would have been better to tape off than continually using tapes (I know owners of originals don`t play theirs often). 4. Finally, could I say how shocked I was when I got this in my mailbox: "Dear David, Please note that it is illegal to bootleg onto CD, and that if you are found to be breaking the law in this way, Jeepster will not hesitate to take legal action against you." Not EMI, or Warners, or Polygram. But Jeepster. Thanks, you made my day (not). Cheers, David (Feeling down and a bit disillusioned). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

I agree with you. I have had arguments with list members involved with the record company but still never received plausible answers. WHY is it illegal to put Tigermilk on CD but tapes are ok? I don't believe this at all. I'm sure David here wasn't attempting to sell them to anyone. And as far as I know, Tigermilk was on Electric Honey Records, not Jeepster. So I'd like to know what the connection here is. And I don't want to hear rubbish about 'protecting the band's interest'. My cassette copy is good enough for me to nip down to a pressing plant and run off some copies, if I could afford it, or wanted to, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. But I won't. So come on, someone say something interesting about this. Don't be all shy and quiet. JJ x ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

D'you remember when we oldsters regaled against these idiotic messages on the inner covers for LPs? Oh how we laughed... killing music indeed. ah well, anything to help the bugger on it's way and all that. Quite simply, unless education starts coming into it, it is illegal to make a copy of someone elses work, full stop. It doesn't matter a buggery if, in the case of recorded music, it's being copied onto cassette tape (ferric, metal, or otherwise), reel to reel tape, CD, mini-disc, ZIP disc or bloody wax roller thingy doo-dah. I agree that it's appaling that a label like Jeepster should start making such awful threats to FANS, and i hate to say that because i still love you Katrina :-) and David and everyone... And JJ is right, there's a load of us with copies on mini-disc, tape and whatever that could, if we wanted, go down a dodgy pressing plant and get Tigermilk bootlegged. Some kid with a CDR is NOT going to be a threat. It's going to be laughable in a few years time when CDRs are standard on PCs... it'll just take over from cassette tapes. Big deal. So come on jeepster, stop playing it by the muddled record company bad guys rules and start seeing things as they really are. After all, the kids are alright :-) (if a bit apathetic. hugs to Sarah) keep your eyes on the ball. the duke -- i'm not brave, i'm not special, i'm not any of those things. ------------------------------- Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent at lineone.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I own a copy of the tape, and would prefer a copy of a CD because of the permanence of the media. I can't see my love of the band dying before my tape falls apart. The first thing I did when getting the tape was to burn a copy for playing, and now I only use the original to dub copies. The real solution is for the Jeepster to re-release the album, on vinyl and CD. The real issue is that the band are far more popular than the 1000 original copies can supply. I don't know of any one on this list, into the band enough to go through the lengths it takes to get a copy of Tigermilk who wouldn't go to the CD shop and buy one if it were available. I hope I can do this before I burn out my tape. RE-RELEASE TIGERMILK!!!, or accept the fact that we'll distribute it amongst ourselves, to share the good fortune of those of us lucky enough to own it with those sweet people we meet through the list who don't have it. That's what this is really about. People want to hear the music, we love the band, and wonder what the big fuss is about. I know I was desperate to find out what it was like, and was pleasantly surprised upon my first listen, but also a little disappointed, because it had become such a big deal to me. With that said, the next 5 folks who request it to me via private e-mail will get copies of my tape. I don't own a CD-R , so that's not an option here. I'd prefer to send them to others in the US, but if you need one across the pond, ask away!

I haven't had that experience since Dinosaur Jr downstairs at Barrowlands in 1492. If my memeory serves me well, someone (not me) said "there's that spazzy Pastel guy" thus earning us evil glares from his sycophantic herd of pop pals. Of course, I could be making it all up. One fine day I will learn how to answer more than one message at once, cutting and pasting I believe it's called. In the meantime, Tim said something about Spanish picnics in between raining insults upon me as usual. Jolly good idea, who's up for it? Most Iberian listees seem to hail from the Mediterranean area, Barcelona and Valencia in particular, and I'm in the jolly old Basque Country. I therefore think we should make it as inconvenient as possible for everyone. How about the Doñana National Park in Huelva? We could play Twister in the acid-drenched radioactive mud and eat tons and tons of contaminated peaches until we get tummy ache. Staying on a Tim tip, I went to look for some of his reggae-mendations yesterday. I found precisely NONE of them, so I bought Volume 2 of "Birth of Soul" by Various Artists. What a lovely album it is. I urge you all to rush out and buy it. Breathtakingly beautiful stuff, and an essay that touches on the meaning of P!O!P! inside the lavishly illustrated booklet. I have also been called a freak for insisting on purchasing CDs that last at least 70 minutes, preferably 78, regardless of their contents. I broke my own rule by buying the miserly 62 minutes of Cappadonna's album too. I'm afraid I couldn't resist it. It sounds pretty good to me, but then what the fuck would I know? I think I should warn you (or some of you) that I may be paying a visit to the Emerald Isle of England's Green and Pleasant Land before too long. I may get the urge to try and follow some of you about in person, rather than by e-mail, although I doubt it because I am poor, but some of you might like to buy gas masks just in case, particularly in the Scotland region of England.

The call echoed around the world - but it's important to remember that it's the *band* who don't want to release it yet - and they've signalled their intention to do so at "some" time in the future. Just for fun here's two excerpts from the "pish" chat - "belleandsebastian" is Stuart Smirnoff talking (and note me putting on my sensible trousers): How do you feel about the fact that now hundreds of people have a taped copy of Tigermilk and it will soon be circulated to many more around the worl d via tape exchanges? Dear eilatana, who gives a fuck... well its a serious question Stuart - is the answer that you dont? No * huxley - 9 people have asked if tigermilk will be re-issued (or rather pleaded), but don't want to ask you themselves. so what of it? TMilk will be out sometime I'm sorry, it hasn't been the right time to release it and make a good job of it David and Katrina have left the list now, which I think is a pity but I guess they have their reasons - tangling the list up with Jeepster's official position was always a problem and nice though a job is, it's hard when it gets mixed up with your friends. Let's just make it clear once more that this list doesn't represent the record company, band or anyone - it represents YOU, and it's completely independent. Jeepster have taken a position on this with regard to specific media types and I've got to say in my opinion the distinction always *was* going to get them a slagging, because it's artificial - of course copyright makes no reference to whether the medium is digital or analogue. They don't want to know if you're doing it, privately, for non-profit, ok, and I guess because people kept telling the list, they felt they had to cover their ears and leave. My interpretation. Bearing in mind we all accept that this list fills a gap in all our lives when we're bored stiff or haven't got any friends, who is the saddest of them all? Just for fun I looked at the archives and foudn out who's posted the most since August last year (based on number of messages and not size). Here we go: keith at qss.co.uk (283) pjmiller at arrakis.es + oc245d8aff at colon.net (264) tangent at lineone.net + tangent at mail.zynet.co.uk (181) honey at Majordomo.net (175) d.kitchen at virgin.net + bluesoda at totalweb.co.uk (151) jeepster.uk at virgin.net (149) mctag at mcmail.com (111) sarah at elsato97.demon.co.uk (107) rod at begbie.com (99) parachute at earthlink.net (94) blink at inexpress.net (87) johnj at seahouses.u-net.com (80) aevans at env-dept.devon-cc.gov.uk (75) John.Johnston at capgemini.co.uk (68) skg21 at hermes.cam.ac.uk (66) rnorth at amos.co.uk (66) t.hopkins at lancaster.ac.uk (62) amh20 at hermes.cam.ac.uk (62) kschaffe at trinity.edu (56) j.stuart at efp.com (53) cleonard at MURRAYJ.COM (51) susannah at tormentor.clara.net (50) Andrew.Dean at bull.net (49) Andreas.Hering at stud.uni-hannover.de (49) timminsc at tcd.ie (46) s9720251 at student.let.uva.nl (44) nigelt at uk.uu.net (44) Aren't the top ten brilliantly predictable?!

Message-ID: This Tigermilk debate seems to have escalated rather horrifically. A couple of points I'd like to add: The arguments (from digest 3/5/98) all seem to have been directed rather personally at David and Katrina. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Katrina merely an employee of Jeepster? I would doubt that either she or David are directly or solely responsible for the labels position on the bootlegging matter. Personally, I would have preferred a form letter to Sinister list types to say 'we're overlooking taping of Tigermilk, but we'd rather you didn't burn it onto cd or, more specifically, offer cd copies to others.' (Where does everybody else think they should draw the line?) The thing is, there seems to be increasing bootlegging of Tigermilk from all quarters, so Jeepster clearly reckon the only way to try to control it is with the 'ton of bricks' approach. Possibly since they're so sick to death of the whole issue anyway. Since it rears its head so often, I would also assume that Jeepster have contacted the band about this, so their opinion would concur somewhat with what the owners of the music feel. Whatever, the whole episode seems to have taken an unpleasant turn with bad feelings on several fronts. It's only a bloody record after all. joss (hoping to return to the land of the lurkers) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

David, >From the fans perspective (and I say fans perspective because I believe the statistically significant majority of fans feel this way), it does not sound like you, Katrina, or Jeepster are attempting to secure band rights in any way. It appears more like your camp is following a political agenda by claiming the bands legal rights. That is my impression. If I am wrong, I sincerely apologize, but I'm sure many of my fellow fans (especially those who do not own Tigermilk) feel the same way. Many analogies can be made to a class struggle. There were very few Tigermilks made and only the most priveleged own them (some more than one). People are allowed to own arguably inferior cassette copies of the recording, but the original becomes nothing more than an un-obtainable dream. Some people challenge the idea that they can own only a cassette copy and pursue a better facsimile (that technology now allows). Jeepster puts them in their lower-class places by claiming legal authority over the matter. I don't think the band cares that random people on the list would make CD-R copies of their first recording. If it was that important to them that people buy the original, they would re-release it. (I distinctly remember one of the band members during the chat claiming that it wouldn't bother him even if a larger scale bootlegging operation were to occur.) I also don't think Jeepster has a legal authority over Tigermilk. Either Electric Honey or the band do. Of course either could allow Jeepster's pursuit of legal action on behalf of themselves, but I don't think they would particularly care if one fan were to make a copy. Third, if it were to come to legal action (at least in the United States), one could claim "Fair Use". That is, since Tigermilk is out of print (unobtainable) and one is using the recording for a literary, scientific, cultural, or artistic use, copywrite laws allow a personal copies by individuals who aren't attempting sale or profit. Since most of our laws come from England, I'm sure the same holds in the UK. Also, Jeepster attempting legal action sounds to me a lot like "bark bigger than bite" syndrome. Even if Jeepster hand such funds to take on such court battles, the idea of a fan making a personal copy (i.e. not a grand bootlegging operation) would be laughed out of court in the US. And it is VERY easy to sue someone in the US.

Has anyone read the book featured on the cover of If You're Feeling Sinister? Also... re: Tigermilk copies. I have bought everything available by Belle and Sebastian, and even if I had a taped copy of Tigermilk, if it came out later, legitimately on cd, I would still buy it. So I don't think it stops people from buying the band's merchandise. oh and one last little aside - my friend who is on the list, I'm going to embarrass him for a moment by saying that I saw his band last night at Brownies and they're really really good. They're called Hala Star. Do any other listees have bands? (er, for you new yorkers, my band's playing this fri. at mercury lounge in nyc - e-mail me for details). sorry for that shameless plug. carry on now with business as usual.

I did actually read it in Jewish Lit last semester, but it runs together with my other readings... And Kafka, well, he doesn't make a lot of sense anyway. Boo to him. Maybe Judy was reading some of those Marguerite Henry books like MISTY OF CHINCOTEAGUE that were sooo popular when i was in fifth grade. I read them all. My favorite was about a Lipazzaner Stallion or some other type of white male show horse. Or maybe she was reading that Bridges of Madison County guy's book, THE HORSE WHISPERER.

There`s loads of other things to talk about - light banter is always better than serious debate !! Anyway, here goes..... Chris wrote... "People want to hear the music, we love the band, and wonder what the big fuss is about." This was a point I made in my original reply to Katrina. I am willing to buy a copy on LP, even at a vastly inflated price, but it isn`t that easy. So I need a copy. And as my CD player is more reliable than my tape (which chews tapes randomly), I was hoping for a more long lasting copy on there. I just want a playable copy of the album ! "Honey" wrote.... "David and Katrina have left the list now, which I think is a pity but I guess they have their reasons - tangling the list up with Jeepster's official position was always a problem " I think it would have been nice, certainly from my point of view, for them to have stayed and discussed the matter. I was sent a letter telling me I was possibly going to be sued, and despite writing private emails to both of them, no reply has so far been forthcoming. I have sent a subsequent email saying that I will no longer pursue any type of copy - digital or analogue - for fear that I will face legal repercussions. Theoretically, if I get sued and successfully (highly unlikely), so could a large number of you. He continued (sorry this isn`t Tigermilk related !).. "I did it for subjects too: no surprises for the number one slot here: Tigermilk (39)" What happened to Guy Chadwick/House Of Love lyrics ? Joss wrote.... "The arguments (from digest 3/5/98) all seem to have been directed rather personally at David and Katrina. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Katrina merely an employee of Jeepster?" >From my point of view, I have only had contact with Katrina, a personal email saying I was to be sued if I copied "Tigermilk". Granted she did say that it was on behalf of Jeepster, but no argument was given as to why. Of course it is infringement of copyright, but isn`t this an issue when it is put onto tape ? I have no "axe to grind" with either of those people, and have apologised to David for making his position on the list uncomfortable, and I will apologise to Katrina when she explains herself fully over the legal issues. I just feel like I am being made an example of when many others have openly advertised for "Tigermilk" copies on here for as long as I can remember. Matt wrote.... "Also, Jeepster attempting legal action sounds to me a lot like "bark bigger than bite" syndrome. Even if Jeepster hand such funds to take on such court battles, the idea of a fan making a personal copy (i.e. not a grand bootlegging operation) would be laughed out of court in the US." I am not going to claim any sort of legal expertise on this issue, but I am just one year short of qualifying as a solicitor and know a few bits and bobs, enough to realise that theoretically I could be sued if I did undertake this action. Proving it (bearing in mind I don`t own the equipment) would be a nightmare, the case itself would be a very unsafe one to undertake (and could cost a lot of money for little reward) and attempting to justify the action after almost encouraging taping onto cassette in the past would effectively make it a non starter. As it would be solely for personal use - well, I wouldn`t want to pursue that kind of case. But I am not going to risk it. And as I said earlier, the implications of a successful case would be very far reaching indeed. Finally, Sarah wrote.... "FOR GODS SAKE! Jeepster is a COMPANY! it needs to make profits, and the oooh, STAYING LEGAL thing might help them in, um, SURVIVING?" They would make a lot more in rereleasing "Tigermilk" on LP and CD than suing me. The only things I have of worth are my old Sarah Records stuff, a few other records, this computer, a couple of books and my sanity. I don`t think that lot would secure the shareholders a foreign holiday.

Nee, nee mun pish, chan pai dee kwa ----------------------------------------------------------------------- From benjamin at xxx.com Mon May 4 20:25:13 1998 From: benjamin at xxx.com (bp) Date: Mon, 4 May 1998 15:25:13 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Sinister: DC picnickers, NY division Message-ID: It seems that all earlier efforts at arranging travel via rented automobile to Our Nation's Lovely Capital for the sinister picnic at Pam Berry's house have collapsed under the pressure of flakiness and general wanking about. For those who like me are eager to drink beer in a different city and/or bask like young lions in the sun while tolerating the presence of others of the Belle and Sebastian mob, the Greyhound coach company has hatched a fiendish scheme to haul us there. If one buys a ticket at normal price three days in advance, one is entitled to bring one's friend along for free, gratis, like so much carry-on luggage, assuming one's friend maintains the same itinerary as one's self. As the cost of a round-trip Greyhound ticket between New York's fresh-lemon-scented Port Authority Bus Terminal and Washington is $56,a person would pay a mere $28, provided said person has an accomplice, to go from the big city to Swamp-on-the-Potomac. The deadline is WEDNESDAY, so hop to it. We must, therefore, travel in pairs. If you are a stray die (as am I) looking for a travelling comrade from NYC to the picnic this weekend, please e-mail me directly. Anyone interested as well in sitting with the away support as the brave rojo y negro of the Metro attempt to gub the DC filth at RFK Stadium in a fiery but doubtless ineptly-played soccer match can join me the evening of the picnic. Previous encounters between the good guys and the evil scum to the south have featured: rampaging Polish hooligans, pitch invasions, rocket attacks on the Metro dugout, countless offside goals, a "Warriors"-esque jaunt through the pitch-dark RFK car park, the sight of Marco "El Diablo" Etcheverry offering the Empire End in NY a one-fingered salute, the NY supporters forced onto the pitch at the end of play last April by a charge of 500 DC bastards, and an aggregate score over two years of 19-18 for the Metro.

Make sure and ask him what it was like to be on Muppets Tonight. To the tune of Goldfinger: "Piiiiierce Brosnan (bwah-bwaah-bwaaaah), He's the guy, the guy with the clocks that fly. He just clocked that guy." Quality. I'm keeping out of the whole 'lait de tigre' (thanks for that, babelfish) scandal, cause my views have been posted before. But if you want a copyright-related giggle, here's a clipping from the latest NTKnow (http://www.ntk.net) The BPI this week discovered that RealAudio streams *could* be recorded, after all. Shocked, *shocked*, by this discovery, and feeling betrayed by assurances that Web users could never in a million years have worked out what that "Line Out" socket was for, they immediately demanded compensation from all the music Websites. In a typically brave stand, the BBC shut down all their Radio 1 RA streams. We're just hoping no-one snitches to the BPI about that "taping the John Peel Show off the radio onto a C60" scam. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/listeningbooth/listeningbooth.html - FLASH!

Message-ID: <30463888.354e2194@aol.com> hi all: I've asked this before, but it bears re-requesting. Does anyone happen to have a set list, a live cassette, or both from Belle & Sebastian's now-legendary November 1996 show at the Borderline? I happened to be in London the week of the show, happened to attend (solely on the recommendation of an Indiepop List member), and happened to fall madly in love with a band I'd never heard and only heard of a few days previous. In the intervening 18 months, I've gotten quite obsessed with attending this show, and am frustrated that I don't remember much in the way of specifics... E-mail me privately if you can help.

We should be told. Mr Strummer bought me a drink at a Pulp gig once, which was nice of him & it even prevented me telling him my "Being in the Clash" dream, but as I have less shame about looking foolish now, here goes: In my dream I was hanging around looking "punk" outside Portsmouth Guildhall waiting to see my teenage heroes when Joe stuck his head round the door and uttered the immortal words "Hey kid, our finely chiseled cheek-boned bassist has had to go get his haircut, wanna join the band?" Obviously I must have looked the part or maybe it was because I had my bass guitar with me?? Anyway there I was on-stage with the band & it was wonderful until I remembered I only knew how to play two songs & they were by The Police & The Boomtown Rats so the crowd weren't pleased. Joe said it didn`t matter as it was punk rock but I didn`t believe him.

'twas v. scary. Debbie, didn't you say you lived in Liberton or something - cause Braid hills is kind of right next to there, it's the hills behind Blackford hill where the Royal Observatory is, Braid hills road runs between Alwnickhill and pretty much Morningside road. I thought it'd make a nice place to go, although I'm not altogether too sure cause it may be tricky getting people there, or more tricky - getting them back, as I guess there aren't many taxis passing there. So I guess Portobello Beach may be the best bet, There's also Holyrood park, which is the most sensible option, but it's a bit boring anyway. In any case, if we do go to the beach, we can build sandcastles - really nice ones, and then later on we can just kick 'em all down again in a sort of arty create-destroy-rebuild thing. Which is a bit like the We plant the seed, nature grows the seed, we eat the seed thingy. If anyone can make any suggestions about where to have one in Edinburgh then please let me know. I suggest we have one pretty soon anyway, no point hanging around - life's too short. Who'd be interested in coming to an Edinburgh one anyway, lets assume for arguments sake we do it in about a months time. Incidentally, I had to post this letter cause MILLER cheated himself by posting a letter to the list *about* the fact that I cheated. And incidentally, it wasn't a :-) MILLER, it was a ;-) - a *wink*, that's right, I once winked at a pastels gig.

Congrats again to all who came out to Primrose Hill yesterday. There was loads of food and bonhommie. And we provided a lot of entertainment for others. Many passers by were fascinated by David's titanic croquet match struggle, hapless kite fliers were rescued by the boys from Salako (i think?), and ne'er-do-well urchins were invited in to play football. None of them were a match for Trousers who impressed this correspondant by charging all over the pitch with incredible energy, making saves at one end then challenging for possession at the other. Poetry in motion. I'm still feeling a bit poorly after that roll down the hill at the end. I hope someone else will write a proper account of the day's events. BTW - for those with an urge to do something pretty while they can; my on-line compliment generator is now accepting new compliments from you the people of the free world. http://www.zigazigah.mcmail.com/compl.htm - click the add a compliment link to add another nice phrase - it's doesn't happen at once - I can't run programs on my isp's server but I've written a script to run on my pc which does all the magic. xx John ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Iceland was becoming an almost civilised nation and CD's hadn't been invented.. At age three I went to Kindergarden, and stayed there until I was six years old and then I went to school, I stayed in that same school until I was 16 and then I went to another school and stayed there for 4 years and now i'm here.. where ever I am... and in that time slot, I evolved my dislike for sports, learned how to play the flute, read alot, and got to know Belle and Sebastian... and that's all folks,,, ********************************************************************** ***************************** You can expect my next letter in say.... july, but then I will be in copenhagen drinking Carlsberg and staying inside hiding from the sun..

I am very well thank you and just had the loveliest of weekends. And I now know what Keith does on Portobello beach because on Sunday I participated. Now the sunny weather has departed and I feel somewhat empty inside, like my best days are behind me and now I only have work and failures to look forward to. I'm fibbing of course but I fooled you, didn't I. regards, melancholy chris ================= Dearest friends, Delighted to see some chat about "Stars in their Eyes". As you all know, earlier this year I made it my mission to appear on this grand program as Johnny Mathis, the man who provides the mental soundtrack to the rare romantic moments in my life. But Mathew Kelly has made it quite clear he will have no children, no drag and no blacking up on his show. So I'm scunnered on all three criteria. Plus I totally bottled it at the first step, so I wouldn't have got on anyway. Now cast your mind back to the Glasgow Picnic. We were discussing stars in their eyes and what white adult male I could go on as. I suggested to Stuart Murdoch I could go on as him, and do you know what he said? "That'll be fucking right" (or similar words to that effect) and looked utterly disgusted. Still gives me a chuckle. happily yours, christopher leonard ================= Dear Sinister Mailing List, REF:The London picnic Will someone else write something about it please, cos just now it looks like John imagined the whole thing, doesn't it? I said "john" then "imagined". Spooky. yours concerned, mr leonard ================= Dear Sezah, I tried to email you but got it sent back. Can you mail me and i'll try again or something. Cannae get the codrazine thing here at all though i tried and tried I swear I did.

Spooky. > > yours concerned, > mr leonard Hey, worry no longer! For I am here to put in my tres pesetas' worth about the marvellous events of yesterday. And I bake exceedingly good cakes, and so may be trusted to outline a tasty and nourishing account of the day. In the morning, after skilfully avoiding some evil Morris Dancers in Rochester on the way to catch a train and meeting Charlotte (hapless friend, she will be on the list very soon, oh yes she will) at Charing Cross, she and I went to the Royal Academy of Arts to have a gander at some aulde Russian icons. Very nice, although some of the saints were inexplicably holding TV arials. So much for culture, eh? John wrote: > There was loads of food There certainly was! Twiglets and crisps there were many. Marmite sarnies there were some of. Rory's birthday cake there was not much of by the time everyone present had had a bit. and bonhommie. I recovered my amazing Connect-4 powers from kiddie-land (spatial awareness, don't you know, old bean) and played Snap (or OLE! as we failed to rechristen it) with weird Spanish playing cards, but sadly failed to enjoy Buckaroo. Would the bleedin' toy donkey buck? Even with all the wee plastic guitars/lariats/sombreros loading its fragile donkey back down? Would it buggery. I shall be informing the manufacturers through my lawyer. And, of course, there was that top singalong of Mayfly, with added-value live vocal Stylophone break from everyone. Anyway, it got a wee bit windy, so we decamped to the Spread Eagle dahn in Camden Tahn, where we proceeded to spread ourselves across the pavement outside like a living carpet of beautiful Belle&Sebastian-loving flowers. And variously drink, natter, drink, play charades (oh God! Not "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" _again_...), drink, eat chips, drink and stand around telling jokes about prawns (shame on you, Tall Git!) for the next few hours. And there was an old bloke trying to sell his bike (which Susannah fell off) to us for 5 quid at one point in the evening. Charlotte and I had to go at a ridiculously early time (she to write an essay about Grecian urns or something, I to get home to dear old Rochester, from whence the Morris Dancers had thankfully departed by the time I got back), so I can't say what happened after 8:30 in the evening. Maybe the rest of our beloved party held a Black Mass outside the pub, sold their souls to Satan and are even now screaming in the depths of the deepest circle of Hell for mercy which never comes... I, intending to virtuously do some (say it quietly) *work* when I got home, got a train back to Rochester and started to walk home. However, on passing my Dad's house and seeing the lights on, I popped in and sat there drinking whisky and talking about fishing with him for a few more hours. So no work was done. Ah well, never mind... Bless all you beautiful people who turned up, and those who were only there in spirit (methylated), and especially David and Katrina for organising and stuff. ByeBye, Liz.

Message-ID: In which one person talks about the picnic yesterday, in a desperate attempt to end the embarrasment of being level with Northy in the posting league... This is the story of fifty-two people (beat that Glasgow!), more food than we could eat, a partcularly poor game of football, and far too much alcohol for some people... We all arrived in the sunshine of Camden High Street, asked people their names, and then promptly forgot them again. We then marched up to Primrose Hill, admired the view, and then the sun disappeared for the rest of the day. Oh well. JJ's picnic blanket was filled with all sorts of food, from homemade cakes to kiwi fruits and a mango (yes, really). We all then ate as much as we could, chatted to a random assortment of people, and played a few games (David is far too good at Connect 4. Definitely a sign of a misspent youth. I beat him at Twister though...). We whiled away a leisurely afternoon rescuing kites from lampposts, talking about everything under the sun (except the sun wasn't there, but you get the picture), and playing football. Actually that last one might be a bit of an exageration, the only people who could play football were the local kids who joined in. The pastel team were champions, and we came last by quite a long way. By about 5.30, a few people had started to drift away, and it was decided to leave the windy hill behind and head for a pub in Camden. We couldn't actually get in the pub, it being a bank holiday, so we sat on the pavement/road outside and drank there. Then the landlord threatened us with the police for drinking our own beer outside his pub, so we went and sat on the other side of the road instead. Rob B (I think) had thoughtfully brought his guitar with him, so we sat around having a sing-song of a B&S-nature, thus getting lots of funny looks from passers-by. And in true Stuart Murdoch style, we kept forgetting the words. After a while, we ran out of songs that anyone could remember, and so everyone regrouped outside the pub and played charades. And told some truly awful jokes. A chip-shop run by David & Katrina ensued, followed by more and more drinking. At this point most people gradually dispersed, leaving a collection of people who were enjoying themselves too much / were too drunk to go home. I'll leave it to others to relate in a more amusing fashion the other stories from the evening (such as Susannah and the dodgy bike bloke? And how two kiwi fruits ended up under a car on the other side of the road?), as I wasn't 100% sober myself by the end of it all. So a big thankyou to D&K for organising it all (even though they're not here anymore), and to everyone who brought themselves and their food, and to all the wonderfully nice people I met (too many to name, and anyway I promised not to name any wild African animals...), and especially to our Scandinavian friend Elizabeth for providing the entertainment. Let's do it again sometime! (After exams would be nice...) Stuart G ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: <01bd7828$54ea2d20$046b9ac2@g5-200-1> What can I add to John's deft summary of yesterday's hilltop shenanigans? In years to come it will be looked back upon like Woodstock or the first Pistols' gigs, with half the country claiming to have been among the lucky 52. Memorable moments include: ~ 3 ten year olds making the rest of us look a bit daft at football ~ the triumphant march of The Pastels 7-aside team through the piecemeal defence of both the Black and White teams ~ Katrina and Susannah providing an impromptu gymnastics exhibition ~ the touching concern of many for the whereabouts of the Monday Poem ~ Katrina becoming the official List Mum for her way with a black bin liner in the rubbish-strewn aftermath ~ The landlord of the Spread Eagle threatening to call the cops if we didn't take our cans elsewhere ~ suddenly symphathising with Stuey Murdoch, as the massed ranks of sinisterines failed to remember anything but the first line of any of the songs that Rob B bashed out on his axe ~ 'Steady' Mike returning from a fag run to the offie with a mysteriously-acquired Arvo Part cd ~ 'Unsteady' Elisabeth Z providing a sterling rendition of every Scandinavian Eurovision entry since 1976 (complete with choreography) What a lovely bunch we are. Rumours suggest that the next London bash is already planned for the 25th of this month...

There's little I can add on the highlights front after John and Trousers' posts, save to blow my own flugelhorn a little and mention the gallant second place achieved by The Vaselines (my boys, my boys) in the shambles of a round-robin football thing. We *did* score the most goals... ok, ok, so the Golden Boot went to a pre-pubescent ringer of a winger in a Nike top but everyone's playing imports thesedays, so what the hell... Of course, there's no substitute for experience, and Trousers seemed to be possessed by the spirit of Pat Nevin... And the spectacle of an orange-haired Scandanavian displaying the sort of frisbee-wielding skills that would have won him a spot on World of Sport not so long ago (had the racing from Uttoxeter been washed out or something) was precisely the sort of thing I moved to London for.

Lampost? Croquet Mallet? Inside of a wee dug's mouth? Noooooooo! Message-ID: <354F6A9A.2116@gold.globalcafe.co.uk> And we're back... Phew, what a horrible day at work. The only thing that kept me going was the thought of decent latte, some soothing wibbly-type music and the exclusive, yes exclusive! Ink polariods of real photgraphs that haven't been developed yet, of the infamous London picnic! TA-DAAAH! This is one of the top pop star/super hero Mark from glamorous space dust rockers Mikado(?) bravely rescuing a lickle girls bright red kite from up a lampost. Just below Mark is Susannah who is attempting to dislodge him from said lampost by smacking him up the arse with a dirty great croquet mallet. Just look at the impish grin on her face! Quite a crowd a crowd has gathered to shout advice, look worried and/or roll about laughing but they're mainly out of shot with just the tops of their heads showing in the frame. Just after the picture is taken Mark retrieves the kite and hands it back to the grateful lickle girl, at which point Susannah drops her mallet and runs away like a big jessie for fear of awful and swift recrimination. This is one of the unnofficial Londen Belle and Sebastian covers band (weddings, bar mitzvahs, private parties) rocking out like good 'uns outside the pub in Camden. It is the pub where all the cool people who want to be in Blur go and you can see quite clearly the shocked expression on their faces at being invaded by people who obviously don't mind making complete tits out of themselves in public. The boy playing acoustic guitar is wearing a very tight white top from which his nipples are clearly visible, which makes all the girls blush endearingly and makes all the boys wish that they'd thought of it. We are all singing the Lah-lah-lah-lah-laaaaaaaaaaah! bit from 'Dog on Wheels' at the tops of our voices. The picture is taken just before the horrific and ugly silence that hits when we reach the second verse and realise that, pathetically, NO-ONE KNOWS THE WORDS! We then all go round the corner and quietly shoot ourselves for letting the cause down. This one is of the inside of a wee dug's mouth. It is an accident. The wee dug has tried to eat my Boots disposable camera just as I was trying to take a picture of two American girls playing croquet. It is quite blurry, but teeth and saliva are visible. It is very disturbing. Stay lucky, Rory xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

I think I've had a funny turn today since getting the bump on my head from falling off the dodgy bike, so my recollection of the picnic is somewhat hazy. All I can remember is declaring loudly that neither had I ever had to visit a gynaecologist nor do I wear G-strings, Andy Dean pointing at me and saying 'shes SO drunk' when I'd only just arrived, and almost being abducted by that nutter with the bike as me being concussed an' all just went happily along with him when he tried to march me off down the street. However this afternoon I went along for some Islington well woman hypno- regressive therapy doo-dah bollocks and this is what I now remember, * Trousers stood at the top of Primrose Hill, pulled down his pants and mooned his white arse at the whole of London, shouting 'Get a load of this mutha fuckers!!' * David gaily handed out Tigermilk CDs to all and sundry, even pensioners and alsations * Those lovely Boy Scouts from Salako made daisy chains and discussed who's better, Camus or Sartre * Katrina shouted out 'get this off this is shit' when photo jenny came on * and Stuart Murdoch showed up, smashed out of his head, and threw up all over the victoria sponge Theres somebody at the door.... susannah xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Still it's a nice warm evening so we didn't mind too much and it gave me an oppurtinity to buy some more fags. Anyway more ink polaroids of real photographs yet to be developed of the infamous London picnic. TA-DAAAH! This is one of Susannah crashing a tramp's bicycle into a parked car. No-one knows quite how it came about that she was riding a tramp's bicycle in the first place so we all look a bit surpised. Susannah looks very sheepish and the tramp is trying to make her buy it (the bicycle not the car) because she has dented the front wheel. Just off to the side a group of people who were playing charades ( It's 'Unbearable Lightness Of Being'! Again!) have broken off their game to watch the exchange of threats and swear words. Later the Tramp will tell us that he has fantasies about Michelle Pfieffer and Joan Collins in bed together. It is at that point things become a little hazy.... This is one of me just when I am presented with the lovely home made birthday cake that David and Katrina kindly made me. It is a fantastic Victoria sponge type affair and the sugar icing is sparkling slightly in the spring sunshine. Top pop star/international special agent Mike from arse-flute and banjo band Jalpeno(?) is gazing hungrily at the cake and drooling slightly. I have a big beautific grin on my face because I am very pleased and touched by my friends gesture. Just after the picture is taken I can be seen holding a knife and wondering if it's mathematicaly possible to divide a cake by 52 (Fifty Two!!!!!!) Oh, I could go one for ever.

That is the question... Message-ID: Just to add my 2p worth to the Tigermilk debate... Straight from the horses mouth (namely David at the picnic yesterday); I hope I won't get into trouble for saying this, but Jeepster are prepared to turn a blind eye to dubs of Tigermilk as long as they don't hear about it. If you send a message to the list saying you have copies for sale, they have to do something. True, Electric Honey own the original rights to it, but Jeepster have the rights to a rerelease in the future. The band have said countless times that it will come out again in the future, but at the moment they're concentrating on the new material (which is at least as good, if not better) so I guess it probably won't be in the next 12 months, until the new album is out of the way. Secondly, CDs ARE different to tapes. Maybe the Duke's right, and in a few years CDR machines will be commonplace, but at the moment they are not. Thus if you did a CD copy for someone, they would probably have to send you money to pay for the blank CD, which is where the problems start; if you receive a penny more than the cost of the CD you are making a profit, and so you are an illegal record label. However, anybody can send you a blank tape for you to copy Tigermilk onto, and as it is for personal use and no money has been taken, it is OK. Likewise if you do yourself a CD from a tape / original, that is (I believe) legal and would (I am sure) be ignored by Jeepster. I don't think Jeepster are being unreasonable here at all, if you try and see it from their point of view. Sure, it's frustrating not owning your own copy, but with a tape dub and a bit of patience, all will turn out for the best. We'll soon have had 3 albums and 4 EPs in 3 years; we can't really complain that they're not putting enough stuff out. Well that very serious email, so I'll lighten it up a bit; My wife went out for a curry the other night... Stuart G ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I should like to point out here that in the CPC catalogue, blank writable CDs are 90p each. That doesn't include VAT of course. How much does everyone pay for their blank tapes?

As we made our way through the streets, it really became apparent how quickly London can change. We started off near Camden High Street, with its slightly trendy, 'sleazy' reputation, and as we travelled towards the Hill, the scenery changed to 'posher' more greeny resedential avenues. We walked along Regent's Park Road, past the English Folk Dance and Song School, which I thought was sort of fitting. We walked up to the top of the Hill, and made camp there. The view from the top of teh hill was very impressive, and it seemed to me like we were at the very top of the world. I could see for miles. I saw Canary Wharf and the Telecom Tower, and lots more besides, which I didn't recognise. Next came the food. John Johnston laid out his rug, and everyone piled on the assorted tucker they had brought along. We had a bit of everything, including such delights as a whole pineapple, mangoes and Rory's Birthday cake, which was shared out sort of equally. People started getting into games after the food, and we had Twister, Cards, Connect Four, Buckaroo which didn't Buck all day, and a classic game of "which side are you on?!" football. The weather started to get a little less perfect later on in the afternoon, so the renmaining crowd decamped to the Spread Eagle pub on Parkway. After deciding to sit outside the pub rather than inside it, we were happily filling the highway when the barman decided to take it upon himself to move us on, claiming that the local residents would call the rozzers on us if we didn't shift. A small group of us decided to revive our B+S tribute session from earlier in the day, so Mr. Axe, Rob B and the rest of us reeled off a selection of classics from 'Sinister', 'Tigermilk' and a few of the singles. With the threat of arrest semmingly subsided, we spent the rest of the day sitting outside the pub. Some played charades, while the rest of us sat around idly discussion nothing. The conversation turned to the Eurovision Song Contest through Elisabeth's job at the Travel Agents and this proved to be a hugely invigorating topic, providing a platform for Elisabeth's collosal knowledge of the subject to shine. Myself and many others, including Gary and Gerard from Glagow were frankly amazed. We all chipped (sorry) in for a poration of chips each, and David and Katrina proved just how lovely they are by going down the chippy to buy them all for us. My evening ended about 9.30, as I had to get a train back. It was the end of an absolutely fantastic day. It really was really enjoyable. All the people I met were so friendly. A huge thanks to David and Katrina for organising such a great day, and hello to John Johnston, Trousers (don't forget the Blue Soda social at the Poetry Cafe), Susannah (why she didn't buy the bike I'll never know-what a bargain, eh?), Rory, Joe, James, Stuart Tall Git, Steady Mike, the poor Everton supporter, Mr. Axe, Rob B (he of the church thing of his e-mails), Elisabeth, Gary and Gerard from Glasgow, Mel and Seb and everyone who was there. The total headcount by David was apparently 52, which was excellent. I had a really nice day, and I'm really loking forward to the next one, planned for Spring Bank Holiday, May 25th. Please come, everyone, please... Lots of love and hugs, GIDEONxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I had great difficulty hearing what Aiden Moffat was saying, partly because of the aforementioned talking but also because he's pretty difficult to comprehend at the best of times. Still, the music was cool and I mellowed out to it (with the help of some alcoholic beverages) and was terribly happy all night. A friend of a friend managed to blag his way backstage to meet the band and I hear that they were snorting coke with rolled up twenty pound notes. Very rock and roll.

No it's just that a thought struck me about being in the Belle and Sebastian Fanclub. Coz it then struck me (ouch) that the only other fanclub i've been in was for...........Big Country! Aaah - the Country Club as it was known. How I adored their bagpipe rocking antics, how i defended them against the snide remarks of my peers that all their songs sounded the same, how I loved to stroll around in my "country club" T-shirt with the epic slogan "Stay Alive in 85" (a good idea when you considered the alternative...). What a sad and lonely young man I was. And we never had any picnics. On my last trip to Glasgow I saw that "the Country" are playing again. I was wondering if it was the original line up or had there been a break away and perhaps a rival Big Country had started up in the wake of the internecine Bucks Fizz debacle. It was then I realised I had too much time on my hands. xx John ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Interesting debate. I don't know about you, but if I had a dubbed copy, eventaully, i would want an actual CD release. No, not because B&S look broke and I could charitably help them with royalty fees, but its just that I want the quality of an actual CD. To share my story of heartache, I once had a roommate with bad ass music taste, so i dubbed a lot of her cds onto tapes for my own personal use. The tapes i used were shitty and after a couple of years, they began to drag in the tape player. REM's Murmur is gone to me along with a couple of others. Tapes don't last long anyway in endurance and probably have about 10-15 years on them before they start to decay. The ones in my dubbed collection still standing sound like shit because of the muffled qualities of the recordings. True, I know some of you are audiophiles and have good equipment, but it's not the same as if you owned something with artwork. The labels shouldn't hate us because we want to listen. I'm not going to stand idly by and tell a friend (if they so offered to dub it for me) no, that's not right and I'm turning you in to the FBI you communist bastard. B&S can't be arsed to release it properly and therefore have to suffer from our love. We want to live! We want to live and love! s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Stuart said... "Thus if you did a CD copy for someone, they would probably have to send you money to pay for the blank CD, which is where the problems start;" Indeed, but that wasn`t the original point. The original point was putting it on a CD (one copy on CD) and then doing tapes (higher quality tapes than tape to tape) for other listees FOR FREE. And this is why the debate blew up as it did. It`s piracy......but not for profit. Just a better and easier way of copying tapes. And it isn`t going to happen because of the initial official response (which has now been sorted out privately between myself and the Jeepster peeps). So end of thread (I hope).

They played too many new songs - I only bought it today, and didn`t know any of them last night. But hey, the rest of the gig was great, and it was at the Ritz, which always makes things better.

The Trial is indeed a grand read. Take a copy wherever you go and chuckles on buses and trains the world over will be yours forever... guaranteed. Actually our school drama teacher wrote last years production based loosely around The Trial. It certainly made as much sense, and was, if possible, even funnier. Especially the bit where K lined up in a 'Usual Suspects' type scene and was identified by Vanessa doing her blind woman routine. A riot, no less. Actually it had almost bugger all to do with The Trial except the lead character was called K and it had some theme about struggle and fate and all sorts of stuff i didn't understand. It was really more about film noir. Nick, who wrote it, nicked all these lines from old movies. it was hilarious. Josef K are the best band ever to take their name from a Kafka book. I bet Stuart Murdoch loves Josef K... well he's into Postcard so he must. What a sign of class. keep the faith, the duke.

There is no way you can pass up this fine opportunity to plunk down your well-gifted money. "listen, the snow is falling" brings me to tears every time. Let me also take this time to tell all about the Madison, Wisconsin picnic that was held on Sunday, May 3. I was trying to think of brilliantly funny anecdotes to make this piece exciting, but I'm quite uninspired due to my present surroundings (university computer lab....some guy playing the bongos outside the window...) So anyway, the number in attendance was 3 ( myself included). The weather was drab and cold and misty. Lake wind ensured that our toes were frozen. We dined on such delicacies as Jumex tropical fruit pulp (now with a contour can and varying percentages of real fruit juice), Pims, strawberries and Nutella, a finely crafted potato salad (not too mustardy....Thanks Doug!), pasta salad with secret ingredients, and a steady diet of Belle and Sebastian. Topics of conversation included Porksicles, old men out looking for a Good Time, and whether anyone else was going to show up. All in all, it was a lovely 4 hours. I went home utterly frozen on the outside, yet thoroughly warmed on the inside by all of the good-will that was present. working on my status as lowest-poster ever, jennifer >On Wed, 6 May 1998, Boodle Boodle Boodle wrote: > >> right - i'm going to ask you lot for some musical advice now >> its my birthday next week and because my parents have no idea what to >>get me they have >> deposited cash on me to buy what i like. i have spotted two very cheap >>box sets of bands that >> have been enthused about to me both here and elsewhere. >> in other words - which do i buy the felt box set or the galaxie 500 box set? >> advice needed!!!! > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Etcera! Etcetera! Message-ID: <01bd7994$c93730c0$LocalHost@itjfvkli> First, a big "Yay!" to Ooon's grandmother, who has memories of elephants. Sorry I haven't replied before, I'm mean-spirited. But I'm sure I speak for the whole list when I say it'll be great "getting to know you, getting to know all about you". Second, a big "Yay!" to Bethey's mum. It must be fantastic to have the fabulous Joe Strummer shout such a lovely thing at you. I like Joe Strummer, not because of the Clash, but because of "Mystery Train", where he proves himself to be a very capable actor. "I mean, I don't call you two Sam and Dave, do I?" Classic. I liked Big Country too. The twelve inch mixes were particularly impressive, bringing out the full magnificence of Stuart Adamson's "SHOUT!" Why do I think that message was a trick to try and "out" Big Country fans? The tape had extra tracks. I could draw that compass logo. I now own a tee shirt with that very logo on it, but all references to Big Country cunningly removed. They went downhill with "Steeltown" which was a load of rubbish about Scots in...oh dear, I've forgotten the name of the place...something like Croydon, but not Croydon. Not to worry, seems like a good time to shut up. Peter "Like a lover's voice on a mountainsiiiiiiiiiide" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

It wasn't so much about the list, but about those on the list that were at the picnic. It's a bit hazy, but basically, there were about 10 of us in this kitchen of this house, and what I remember was it was getting a bit crowded. I rememeber Rory and Susannah trying to find a place to put down a dish of food, and also no-one wanting to touch this smelly greeny cheese stuff. I don't really remember much more about it, as it happened *just* before my alarm went off (at 9.45am for anyone whose interested). Does having a dream just before you wake up mean anything, like you're in deep sleep and then you suddenly wake up (i.e. I really should be sleeping more?) Oh well... Also, did anyone else see Jo Whiley last night, with Jason Donovan? It's so wierd seeing him again, after all this time. He seemed a bit strange, but also really with it for someone who was hounded by the press for quite a while.

I never watched this, but I did see him on Richard and Judy one morning, talking about hair loss. "I dont have a problem with it", he said through clenched teeth. Now then, how about Jason Orange in that "killer net" the other night! Smoking! Drinking! Shagging! Threatening behavior! And worse of all SWEARING! Oh how the mighty have fallen. I feel abused. Howard would never let me down. And was that Rusty Lee stripping? Gosh. Big Country, eh? Was never much of a fan myself though as a pup I did adore the tunes in "Restless Natives" (scots film about the clown and the wolf man robbing buses of merkin tourists). It's a great film, specially when the protagonist is cleaning up the princes street gardens, and the young run through shouting "C'MERE YA FANNY". ho ho. You'll be glad to hear that The Incredible String Band documentary the other night was on first watch bemusing, but on second watch entirely fantastic. Robin Williamson has the biggest physical head I have ever seen, without being a joke.I like him even more now. What a splendid fellow!

Message-ID: <356ED3153B@lms.student.gla.ac.uk> All of a sudden there have been millions of postings after a lull over easter what with the picnics and the whole tigermilk on cd debacle so I thought I'd join in the whole post easter postfest with a few observations. Firstly with the unusually dry and sunny bank holiday weather last weekend came the unwelcome but all too familiar leap in drive-by sooper-shooter water pistol shootings rates. While inocently walking through kelvingrove to deliver a birthday cake, myself and my fellow birthday cake deliverers were maliciously attacked my criminals bearing water guns who out of nowhere sped by soaking us with a strange smelling liquid - not quite urine, but not water. After this traumatic event we were fortunate enough to still have the delicious chocolate cake cooked by Lizzy, who unfortunatly missed the Glasgow picnic but will almost certainly attend any Edinburgh one with a similarly delicious cake. Finally for a little b+s content has anyone noticed how b+s are mentioned a couple of times a week on the topical 3 in a row thing on mark and lard in the afternoon. They're always mentioned but never played, which is shocking. David ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: <802565FD.003EE862.00@csc.com> Hello again everyone, Sounds like you people had a great day at the London Picnic on Monday, sounded like a right craic. Sorry I couldn't make it, boo hoo, I wanted to, but I had a bit of an accident whilst in London last Thursday night..... ....As i was walking through the subway, back to the bus stop by Marble Arch, I felt the urgent need to empty my bladder, as you do!! So, I managed to find a good toilet spot halfway up some steps, right under Marble Arch, and proceeded to do what a man's got to do, even commenting on the security camera in the corner, which I noticed when it was far too late! As I was finishing up I turned around and noticed some headlights at the top of the steps. I could just make out the letters between the lights.....P..O..L..I..C..E..... I thought, "Oh dear" or words to that effect, and not wishing to mistaken for impersonating George Michael, proceeded to run back down the steps, and run for dear life as fast as I could through the subway, and as I approached the slope leading up to Park Lane, tripped and fell right over, scuffing my knee, hip and elbow in the process. Just my bloody luck!! Still, I got right back up and continued to run and managed to evade capture! Anyway, I'm still in agony as a result of this, and that is why i couldn't make it to the picnic, but hopefully the next one will be a go-er. I notice in this weeks NME B&S got the "How the F**k did they get in?" award for the Jesus and Mary Chain gig, and also Arab Strap get a bit of a lambasting in the letters page, oh well, you can't please all of the people all of the time I suppose. I notice John mentioned Big Country and their Country Club from the 80's, oh dear, I also succumbed to this, much to my disbelief today, still I was only young! Somebody else asked about embarrasing records, well apart from some Big Country (they really did seem quite good at the time), I've got a few classics....Cutting Crew, Curiosity Killed The Cat, even bloody Thriller, but they're all in extremely good nick, cos they never get played. God weren't the 80's just great? ;o) Which brings me on to Dexy's Midnight Runners, who once appeared on ToTP miming to Jackie Wilson said, with a bloody great picture of darts legend Jocky Wilson behind them - bloody great eh? Anyway, best be off now. Take care everyone and remember Big Brother is always watching you so be careful.... Cheers Ady ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Oh my dear child, have you been to see anyone about this ? The best I can offer is during the Gulf War I had a dream about coming home from college with a friend. We went in a shop at the bottom of my street to buy some Panini football stickers (don't ask!!). When we got home, we went to my room and were listening to music. I looked out of the bedroom window at the view over the Exe Estuary when a nuclear-type-mushroom-cloud-thingy appeared and obviously everything went brilliant white and we disintegrated and stuff. Bollocks you may think ?? The only thing is, when we went in this shop in my dream the counter was in the wrong place. Not only this, but I couldn't actually see the Exe Estuary from my bedroom window due to the presence of a rather large fir tree in next doors garden. This is where it gets spooky.... Within a week of this dream, the shop changed the counter to the exact position that I had dreamt. Within 2 weeks, my next door neighbour had died, the fir tree died and was subsequently felled and I had a goddamn near perfect view of the Estuary. Bollocks you may think ?? Well I haven't disintegrated yet...so yeah..bollocks. My last post until Monday, so I'll probably slip to about 480th in the pop-pickers-picnic-partying-poetry-posting parade.

I just recently discovered B&S because I read the Spin magazine article. They sounded interesting, so I bought Sinister. I was hooked the first time I listened to it. I brought it to my lecture classes and instead of listening to my professors, I would listen to something even more interesting. But the best part is that I got my boyfriend into them. I converted someone already!! I hopefully will get my frineds into them this summer. But, I must unsubscribe because I am leaving school for the summer. Thanks for the humor guys. It was great waking up every morning with twenty-some messages! I promise I will be back when school starts back in August. I can't wait!!!

Message-ID: <199805071726.MAA04342@smtp2.mailsrvcs.net> I helped bring my friend into her 22nd b-day the other day by going on a pub crawl of sorts. Since this is austin, it means going from one dive to another adorned with picnic tables. Well, even so we only made it to 2 places before I decided I was going to play the part of God and finish 1 pint of Guinness and 1 pint of Fosters in nearly 30 minutes on top of what I had already drank.. I'm the sort who easily bragged that I drank such and such and felt fine afterwards. I didn't need help walking home, but one of my friends decided to act as the rudder as I went one place to another shuffling along. We got back to their place and I decided I needed birthday cake. Lots of it. 30 minutes later, I felt the room spinning, but not overly ill, but I decided to go into the bathroom just in case. As to not gross out my audience, i won't finish that part. I'll just say I was telling one of my friends not to clean that up because I wouldn't even touch that, but she blamed herself for me getting drunk. There speaks a true friend. I ended up sleeping over there and getting up at 5 in the morning to go to work, but it was too much and I drove queasily back to my house and sat at the table picking at a piece of bread and trying to drink some water to get rid of the nausea I felt from every movement. 22 does suck. And I'm a near christmas baby. I was 22 last year and from the 1st moment (I was studying in Glasgow and watched as everyone went home for the holidays when my flight didn't leave until Sunday) until the last day (in Austin watching the rockabilly band reverend Horton Heat by myself at a club because everyone had once again gone home for the holidays and I was in the process of moving back into town) it was all filled with pure crap. It had a highlight or two, but I don't even want to go into that. s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I do not know Galaxie 500 at all, but thanks to the PARTICIPATING! Alistair Eff, i *do* know Felt. And bloodly marvellous they are as well. Then again, tis only a mere tad that I know off them. But more than Galaxie 500. In my opinion, Galaxie 500 make me think of these two things alternatively. Galaxy bars AND washing powder. gaaawd knows why at all. but i'll tell you what. AIR ARE SPLENDIFEROUSLY FAB! i bought the single today (albums! hahahhhahahaha, affording albums!!! thats funnny! hahahahahahahhaha!), and its bloody ace. I also got an Undertones single from the market of Preston, mainly cos it was 2 quid. and the Undertones. Prestons cool for hoary old punk singles etcetera. Perhaps due to the amount of hoary old punks lying about in Preston. Even though there isn't many. you looking at me? I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Yeah, I'm sure everyone cares about this, so I'll tell you--I share a birthday with Richey Manic and Ralph Fiennes. I don't know what that means I'm destined to do, though.

That's never happened to me. I get two gifts, but, I think it's better to celebrate birthdays in the summer, so then you can spread them out over the year. Also, then you can have better parties. My friend, who's birthday was in June always had cool outside pool cookout things, when half of mine were snowed out and it got dark at, like, 4:30, so we couldn't do anything but stay inside. Or go rollerskating, I used to love that when I was younger. But I'm getting off on a tangent here. > and never forget (*cough*) that as capricorns we share the same starsign as > mr. hunkytrousers himself, gary barlow....hmmm...that being the case fame > and fortune will surely be mine not to mention a ready wit...and that > cheeky grin I didn't know that...something to look forward to in life, i suppose. Fame and fortune are no doubt the key to happiness, well, maybe not. I'll be 22 on the 22nd for my next birthday, though. Isn't that supposed to mean something, like good luck or something like that? Or is it just bollocks? Cheers & love, Stephanie "I talk to God but the sky is empty"--Sylvia Plath ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Both bands were definitely amazing... Felt were great but also not as consistently good as G500 (they arguably had a few weak moments). G500 seemed pretty consistently great. All three albums and the extra CD (in the boxset) are solid...but they could be a bit silly and maybe even cheesy (like the sax in decomposing trees or blue thunder). I've said it before and will say it again....if you can find Felt's Forever Breathes the Lonely Word BUY IT!!! It's one of the best LPs I've ever heard. Other than that, Something Sends me to sleep (their second (?) single) is classic. Galaxie 500 are probably the best band to have ever come out of Boston. Well...them and the magnetic fields.

I'll argue if you like". This totally confused me and i think i lost. Big bastard. So i proclaimed "I'm moving out!" and stormed off, on the huff.

Oh come on - it's well known that "pish" is the equivalent of "feck" - it's not "really rude". It's like saying someone's a wonker. And Stuart David is the equivalent of Father Jack.

Apparently, as part of the Pioneers of Electronic Music mini-fest, there's a massed Stylophone procession through the streets on May 23 ! This I have to witness. The Wire generally has little to recommend it in terms of B&S-related content though last month's issue featured a piece by David Keenan under the banner 'Epiphanies', about how seeing the Pastels in 1987 changed his life. Every single one of you should seek this out and read it. Even if you have no interest in The Pastels. Or maybe I should just key the whole thing in ?

Anyhow, while you're at it, you ought to search through the dollar LP bins and see if you can't find anything by the Cyrkle (aren't they from Boston proper?). Or, if you don't really care about the "from Boston" bit, try for something by the Left Banke. To tie that in with B&S, they were one of the bands that Belle & Sebastian covered at that festival. You may know them from their "big hit" "Walk Away Renee." The Cyrkle, likewise, may be heard on oldies radio today sometimes, but Barry and the Remains are a little more obscure. Also, don't bother searching out anything by the above bands if you don't like the Beatles, as all three seem pretty influenced by them. They all put interesting twists, though, like the Left Banke, who are a mix of the Beatles & classical baroque, if I'm not mistaken. /"\_/"\_/"\ 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! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

One girl asked if this guy who was always punching her liked her. Thurston responded that this guy sounded like a prepubescent retard, then pleaded, "Please do not become involved with anyone who is physically abusive." Genius, pure genius. Thurston has been my crushiest person for as long as I can remember.... I don't think Jane is that terribly bad. It just has too many advertisements, giving it the appearance of over the top corporate sponsorship. And the fiction, not unlike some of that of Sassy, is pretty bad. -Kristen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Before long I will be winging my way towards the land of the millenium dome, especially to give you all a chance to catch up in the sad bastard posting stakes. The galaxy 500 /felt debate looks like challenging Arab Strap's deserved supremacy in the subject department. I would be inclined to spend the money on the Marvin Gaye box set, or better still all three complete Stax box sets. I'm going to be selling some of my less desireable goodies next week, I wonder how much I'll make and what I can spend it on? Bloody rubbish, as my dad will no doubt say. I will be sad to see the back of Heavy Stereo and the Butthole Surfers version of Hurdy Gurdy Man. I have given Hawkwind a reprieve. It might grow on me one day. I have always regretted selling my Incredible String Band albums, especially since Chris and Charlotte started rabbitting on about them like a couple of smelly old hippies. Hopefully I will be able to come up to Scotland and stalk Stuart Murdoch like he did with Lawrence of Denim. I've got a sackful of problem page letters that I would like to deliver in person so that he can help me. I hope you are all still sending in your problems, he likes it, you know. I don't know how I'm going to find him, I'll just have to knock on church doors and ask the vicar if the verger's a a fey former boxer turned sensitive singer-songwriter with disconcerted hair.

Bobby Chariot's back tonight! Anyway Sinister peeps I've loads to say but seeing as I only post about once a month to the list I better get going Re: The Trial. Saw the film recently and I can't say I found it remotely funny. It wasn't bad, I just didn't get any humour in it. Am I thick? The Orson Biog "Rosebud" reckons it's a masterpiece but I prefer "Touch Of Evil" any day. Up til now I've always thought that our old mate JJ was a fine upstanding bloke. A Divine Comedy fan, a fan of the (ahem) Mighty Reds, he even insulted a friend of mine over the list which gave me a good laugh but Big Country???? Sorry mate, but I'm disappointed. The Divine Comedy are an obvious one in the books/band name thing. Not only is the name borrowed, but large chunks of the lyrics are taken from literary types - "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" is an F Scott Fitzgerald short story shortened further, "Lucy" is a Wordsworth poem set to music and so on. This is either theft or genius. I go for the latter. A combination of boredom and RRRRRRRoooodd's lyrics quotes at the end of his messages got me thinking about my own fave lyrics. I don't know if there's a thread in this or not, but here's a few that I love any way. I've no idea why. Hopefully a couple of you will know the songs and think "yeah, that's a good one". I didn't bother with any B&S, I'm sure ye all have loads of them. Anyone else have fave lyrics out there? (If you can be arsed) "I wore my fringe like Roger Mc Guinn's I did it only to impress So frankly camp it made you laugh Tomorrow I'll buy myself a dress" from Orange Juice's "Consolation Prize" "Just wait until tomorrow I guess that's what they all say Just before they fall apart" From New Order's "Regret" "When a woman learns to walk She's not dependent any more A line from your letter May 24" From The Go-Betweens' "Bye Bye Pride" "If there ain't a heaven that holds us tonight They never sang Doo-Wop In Harlem" From Prefab Sprout's "Doo Wop In Harlem" I've said too much already Ronan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I notice from this weeks NME that they've got a rarities album coming out soon called "Restless Natives", so presumably it'll have they're contributions to the fantastic soundtrack of said film on it.

While i'm at it, i'll own up and admit to once taking part in a free for all barney on a coach coming back from somewhere equally embarrassing over who's debut album was better, Tears For Fears or Whams (this was in 1983 by the way, my musical taste hasn't quite deteriorated that bad .....yet). I still say The Hurting is a great record, even though it is possibly a criminal offence to do so. Worse still though is the record I most cringe over, thankfully it's no longer in my collection here, I left it at my parents when I moved out, erm, it's Showaddywaddys greatest hits, vol 2 I think, the blue one anyway*. Then again I noticed the 20odd legged groove machine got a mention in here this week, so maybe it's not so bad after all. * Message to Sarah, remember the record I refused to name when we were talking about our first records that time ....... >Which brings me on to Dexy's Midnight Runners, who once appeared on >ToTP >miming to Jackie Wilson said, with a bloody great picture of darts legend >Jocky Wilson behind them - bloody great eh?

At the time I didn't really know who they were, 'cept that they had a bit of a following and were from Scotland. They seemed OK, but nothing to write home bout really. Guess it might have helped if I could actually hear what they were singing - couldn't hear the vocals above the music. Though the one thing that I did remember about them was that they had a glow-in-the-dark fluroescent toy thing that looked like a floppy light saber. They called it a 5-tone whirly doo, and one of the band members was meant to be an expert at it. So throughout an entire song, this guy twirled the whirly doo above his head like a lasso, and it produced a sort of whoooo-ooo noise (which, of course, couldn't be heard at all once the instruments started in). Sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh - till I saw that the guy was serious. Even so, the 5-tone whirly doo has remained a running joke between me and my boyfriend ever since. Me: "Think they'll go all out and hire a whirly-do musician?" MB: "Naw, that would be too much trouble and expense." Me: "'spose so, they're hard to come by these days, years of practice and all.."

I think Kelly the Proposer has already mentioned "Kitchen" but I think any film that makes me break all concentration and drift off into its world, days after I've seen it, has got to be something very special indeed. It's romantic, funny, beautifully shot, stylish, touching, sad, and I loved it very very much indeed. Those far-eastern film-makers are showing the rest of the world how it's done, and I salute them. Talking of Kitchens, in a bizarre "this could be a case for Mulderrr and Scullleeee" scenario, my own kitchen flooded that night. The truth is out there. Or whatever... Talking of Kitchens, it occured to me that I hadn't voiced my opinion on the "controversial" bootlegging issue. There's a very good reason for that, I don't actually give a toss. As I was saying, I wasn't jealous about the picnic at all. Until...I read of Elisabeth Z's Eurovision renditions. I trust you'll all be tuning in. Eurovision rules. JJ's coming round for beer, cheese, the song contest, and the final "Father Ted" episode (which I missed last week). Kind of a Pan-european picnic, if you like. We will be picking our winners, and putting our arms around the world to touch our fellow Europeans. I'm hoping for a repeat of last year's awesome Icelandic S&M number, which left even Terry Wogan speechless at it's kinkiness. Of course, there are injustices - Katrina and the Waves winning last year and Gina G not winning the year before, but anyone who saw the heartbreaking events at the Brittania Stadium last week will know that life is full of such injustices. Eurovision is a microcosm of life. So think of me at 11 o'clock, wetting my pants in excitement as they announce the scores, not forgetting the Summertime Special dance troupe during the judging. Who will be the successor to "Waterloo", "Poupee de cire poupee de son", "A little peace" and "Let it swing, and let it rock and roll". I bet Stuart Murdoch likes Eurovision.

Not when people tell you, but you get this creepy sensation that you're going to be 30, in the attic, sneaking members of the opposite sex home (or out of the house), and you have the need to hide things like beer bottles and other adult pleasure devices even though you know you're not doing anything bad or wrong for your age.

'on fire' is my personal favourite. if not for the magnific sprawling tercities of 'snowstorm' then for the lovely/melodic/depressing cover of 'isn't it a pity.' i'm actually guessing at titles here. i go by track numbers more than song names. anyone else do that? i find track number three to be a lucky number on albums. when i get a new disc i usually go straight to track three to see if the record is any good. maybe that doesnt make sense and maybe it takes the fun out of the linear chronology of the concept album, but i do it all the same. i'm going to go to sleep now due to the fact that this post has suddenly made me feel strange. hey... strange... thats my favourite g500 song. see? the songs just come back at odd times. wow. that sounded contrived... i'm gonna go down to the drug store and go out back and take a coke then stand in line and eat my twinkies... i'll stand in line, i'm sure i'll have to wait. -kelly ryan mcguire >Chris Browning, I am going to contadict the others.

This must be what passes for cutting edge in America. Gee, I didn't think this show would hit the UK for a while yet. I've never missed an episode :P It's a soap opera a la first-year BH90210 and couldn't possibly be taken too seriously. Let me just say that none of the main actors/actresses are over 20, but the characters certainly seem over 15. Oh well. And please don't think this show reflects cutting edge music in America. Most of the music they use is crap. Oh well. At least they've used local (Chicago) stalwarts, The Slugs, twice (Soon to celebrating their 15th anniversary. Their 3rd album might come out this year).

If TV were so much like real-life boredom, then why the hell would _anyone_ wanna watch? I certainly don't remember anyone in _my_ high school looking so goddamn cute. Real life can be awfully boring sometimes. That is why Hollywood spends millions of dollars everyday to entertain us. I find solace in taking advantage of that.

Well it wasn't on very late, and I DID go out afterwards. Didn't get back until 2 as it happens. Plus I've got postgrad exams in three weeks, so I should have been working anyway. I think we can watch it for amusement value without taking it too seriously, can't we? One thing I always notice about American shows is how unrealistically good-looking everyone is.

That's of course the only way to decide - all the songs were absolutely pathetic. Personally I voted for the German guy who looked like Meatloaf, just because he was the only one not taking it seriously. Although Belgium did have a particularly good-looking singer... We were just sitting there playing the Eurovision drinking game (one drink every time your chosen country gets mentioned. I did well out of chosing Hungary...) and taking the p*** out of the singers (one of whom was a dead ringer for Hugh Grant!). Lets face it, does anyone actually care if we win or not?

And When the Lights Go Out All Over Europe is another film one (lots of French films mentioned such as Jules et Jim and Claire's Knee) - anyone know where the bit of French dialogue is from? And there's one where he lists lots of authors - obviously a book influence there. And becoming more like Alfie is again more the film than the play. Any others?

And every single episode is "A Very Special Episode" - OK, I happen to know the surprise ending of tonight's show! Do I dare tell you? Or do you want to be surprised? (I know because I have a friend who actually decides which car commercials go where on tv so he saw the show in advance.) ok, I'm telling and I'll risk "fans" of the show being mad at me: Mary's not pregnant, the mother is!

Ahhhh. Also, you should beg, borrow or steal the Bernard Butler album as i've been playing it almost non-stop since the day it was released and it truely is a beautiful thing. Don't listen to records that mean absolutely nothing, they're the worst kind, often.

All pop stars are dull as a rule. It's the skill of the journalist that makes it readable. That's why I'm totally in love with Sylvia Patterson (of the NME). She can take the dullest subject matter, and make an enjoyable read. FWIW, I know that Swells isnae popular around this parish, but his complete demolition of Shed Seven in the latest NME almost justifies their entire existance. Probably the best thing he's written for a while. On Thu, 7 May 1998, Sarah wrote: > but i'll tell you what.

I bought their LP on the recommendation of the list, and it's nose-blowingly triffic. And the Beck remix of Sexy Boy on the single only confirms that fact that the guy can do no wrong. Munching crisps in time to music is something we need more of in this day and age. Another mark of how good The Airs are is the fact that in a desperate bid to ween my flatmate, Sean, off of his Radiohead and Alanis Morrrrrrrisettttte fixation, I have in the last fortnight successfully introduced him to Air, Garbage and Black Box Recorder. Which reminds me... If you haven't already got the Black Box Recorder EP, RUN! (don't walk!) to your nearest record emporium, and ask for, nay, DEMAND a copy. It is *WONDERFUL*. Listening to it gives me jitters not dissimilar to those encountered upon my first proper B&S experience. Forget "Badder Meinhof" ever happened, and return to the days of Luke Haines actually being good. There's a track of theirs on the cover CD that comes with this month's Select. "Life is unfair.

I consider swearing to be not only big, but, it could be argued, clever in addition. But only when used imaginatively. I'm not one for just popping the word "f--k" liberally into sentences for no reason whatsoe'er, but conjugating new words can have the desired effect. "Twatface", "Arseburger" and "C--tmonger" are useful to have around as insults, and illiteration can really improve a provoked curse. "Well, bugger me backwards with a broomhandle!" is very convenient to express surprise. But for those "hammer hitting thumb" moments, nothing can beat "C--TINGBUGGERYF--K!" What's your favourite swearyword, and why? Dawson's Creek? IMO, It's more of a Party of Five than a "My So-Called Life" (the best thing that American has ever produced. FACT!) The kids are all too articulate, and well-prepared with their long speeches, rather than the good-old mumbly days of Angela and Jordan. But it is written by a film-geek, for film-geeks, so I think I'll keep watching anyway. (Besides, it fills in that gap between Are You Being Served and Stars In Their Eyes perfectly.) And Eurovision? Easily the best in *YEARS*. Dana International would have got my vote, just for being the only song that we could remember at the end of the night. Guildo Horn and the Orthopeodic Stockings were total stars (make sure and check out their lyrics on the BBC's website if you haven't seen them... "Nut Biscuits & Ice Cream") for just taking Eurovision for what it was (a big joke). I thought Malta sucked big salty cocks, The Netherlands were robbed, and the UK didn't deserve to come second. But the highlight of the night: Ulrikakakaka's wee fauxpas to the judge who said "I was once in Eurovision myself." Little Ully, lost without her script, responded with "That must have been a long time ago." to the delight of the crowd. Almost matched by the judge who tried to hit on her with "Ulrika, I'd give you 12 points." Hehe. Should have tried *that* chat-up line on Saturday. I'm still disappointed that the rumoured appearance by The Krankies as the half-time entertainment failed to materialise, but that's showbusiness! Hmmm... 239 lines. Time to signoff methinks.

However, a lot of you might know me from the sinister channel and I love you all so much that I decided that I'd join the list. I only just heard belle and sebastian for the first time about a month ago when I bought the album If You're Feeling Sinister and I have to admit, these guys are good. I like a ton of other bands too, like Poundsign and Bunnygrunt, US stuff mostly, and I just got the Orange Peels album from a friend in the mail, but I thought I'd join since megan told me that this was a list about the people who listen to belle and sebastian and not really about the band, so I thought I'd sign up.

It is definative, containing nearly everything they did, all releases, and some neat live/demo stuff. Galaxie 500 really affected my musical taste and style. I remember listenening to Today about 9 years ago, thinking that it was okay to make music full of beauty, and not to be angry all the time. But recently, I have discovered Felt via reccommendations of this list. I like what I hear, and see Felt as a closer musical cousin (Or bastard step-child, more likes), to B&S. I think the band woul dreccommend Felt. Also, the G500 is re-mixed from the original studio albums. I have some of it on the original Rough Trade releases, and when re-mixing for the box set, Mr. Kramer toned down some of the ethereal delays, much to my chagrin.

Message-ID: <19980512044136.20499.qmail@hotmail.com> So get this: I'm planning a trip over the water, & lo and behold, right there on page 449 of "Let's Go Britain & Ireland '98" is the following passage: In the 1970's and 80's, Scotland has played a significant role in the development of popular music, launching THE REZILLOS (c. 1978), the Skids, Average White Band, Glasgow's Orange Juice, Edinburgh's Josef K, and the record label Postcard which favored Byrdsy guitar chimes and winsome, coy-boy singers. Although mainstream rock claimed popularity during the early 90's, producing groups like the Wake and Aberdeen's Kitchen Cynics, Scottish punk rages once again. Slampt and Vesuvius record labels promote Scottish punk bands, including the suggestively named YUMMY FUR and LUNG LEG, while the quiet folk-rock of BELLE & SEBASTIAN wail throughout Edinburgh and Glasgow. Sorry for SHOUTING, but my program can't do bold (I'm not sure how they decided which people rated bold & which didn't). So what do you make of this? I thought it kind of funny to find that there amongst descriptions of Glasgow Cathedral and haggis. Could the author be on the list? So anyhoo, my gal-pal & I will be in England, Scotland, & Ireland from mid July to mid August (I know--the worst time to go), & would welcome any tips on where to go. I don't just mean whole towns, but also good music and book shops as well. Right now our itinerary is a hazy line at best, but it would be fun to meet a sinisterian or two. I s'pose all the cool kids would say, "Fancy a pint?," but a cuppa tea is more our speed. Hopefully the picnics will still be thriving :-) Whew! That was long for a little lurker like me...

Could the author be on > the list? _______ The "Let's Go" series of travel guides is researched and edited by Harvard University students under the auspices of Harvard Student Agencies, and a good number of the writer/researchers DJ at WHRB, the very good university-affiliated radio station, so it's unsurprising that some anorak's music tastes filtered through. To be honest, this sort of thing is the reason I can't stand "Let's Go"-- it's padded out with this sort of copy, and loads of it isn't substantially rewritten from year to year. A researcher told me a story of looking through a local telephone directory to ensure that the restaurants and hostels in various European towns hadn't fallen out of business, hardly setting out from the much nicer hotel that was out of the budget range of the book. And I'm just getting started. Buy yourself one of the stodgy guides, in any case. Okay, I've got to stop with the carping and go to the office. /bp ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I'd suggest this is a fairly brief and very biased summary ... a considerable number of early Creation Records bands and almost the complete 53rd & 3rd Records rooster stemmed from Glasgow and Edinburgh, let alone numerous excellent bands on other labels ... furthermore, the passage seems to have been written by someone involved with Slampt Records (Newcastle Upon Tyne) or Vesuvius Records (Glasgow) who's not very fond of more successful labels like Chemikal Underground Records. However, the most interesting issue about the passage is the mention of The Kitchen Cynics who, to the best of my knowledge, never gained any success ... their first two albums were released in an edition of fifty copies on a foreign label after years of cassette only releases. Anyway, do I read the relevant passage correctly in that The Kitchen Cynics are lumped in with "mainstream rock" ??? That would be one of the most inaccurate statements ever made ...

Message-ID: <2A5E4731AC7@student.gla.ac.uk> Yeah, I've been up all friggin' night, and have discovered many important things, which I would like to share. 1:Two songs off 'Bwd Time' by Gorky's Zygotic Mynci called 'The Game of Eyes' (with its preceding interlude of what sounds like pixies being machine-gunned) and 'Blood Chant' have the two distinctive effects of making my flatmates pish themselves laughing, and freaking them out so that they leave the room. 2:Playing 'Burning Wheel' by the Primals at high volume on repeat just pisses them off. 3:If 'Donimo' by the Cocteaus was a place, I would quite happily spend the rest of my days there, armed with a huge supply of strawberries & cream, and copious amounts of recreational drugs. 4:Try as I might, I will never achieve my ambition of being able to sing like a Buckley and play guitar like a Verlaine. Especially 'cos I'm always damaging my health and co-ordination with bad habits like smoking, drinking and eating lots of chilli. 5:Cockroaches are cunning little fuckers. Only this morning I was re-creating scenes from 'Alien', looking under every single bit of furniture and waving a shovel about. Eventually I caught the pernicious wee sod and threw him out the window. Should have kept him to frighten people with... or trained him to guard my food supply.... 6:Sometimes, sleep's quite a good idea. I think I'll pop out and get some.

All > three albums and the extra CD (in the boxset) are solid...but they could > be a bit silly and maybe even cheesy (like the sax in decomposing trees > or blue thunder). I think the sax really expresses the emotions behind their music. The guitar is generally full of feeling, but sometimes having a person who isn't a regular band-member can express the feeling more intenslely. The female vocals in Lazy Line Painter Jane are a good example of this. I also think G500 dropped off in creativity after releasing On Fire (CD). This Is Our Music seems to be stretching for material, the songs aren't as intense as their earlier work. It's a little too slow in parts, even for my sonambulistic tastes. In interviews I've read, the band, especially Damon and Naomi, express the strains on the realtionships within the band. Dean Wareham also seems to be getting quite a big head at this point, seeming to see the band as a vehicle for his own stardom. He eventually follows this path in Luna, his current pop band. There's a great interview in a recent Ptololaic Terrascope with Damon and Naomi, covering this period very well, if anyone is interested. I have a copy, and would be willing to get a copy of it to interested parties, please email off-line. Galaxie 500 really showcases the production excellence of Kramer (Bongwater, etc.) well. The etherial delays float angelically in their music. This continues with his work with Damon and Naomi, especially their first CD, More Sad Songs. Felt is much closer to the sound of B&S. But G500 has the intensity of B&S, I fell instantly in love with G500 10 years ago, and this passion for a band didn't happen for me until I found Belle and Sebastian. I remember the one G500 show I saw very well, and found it to be a spiritual experience. I think if I saw B&S live it would be as intense for me. I can't wait for the opportunity. > Galaxie 500 are probably the best band to have ever come out of Boston. > Well...them and the magnetic fields. I think these 2 are great bands, but what about the Pixies? I hope this wasn't too boring, Love, Chrispy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I'm traveling to Germany and Spain in a few days and wanted to know if anyone knows of any cool record stores, radio stations or magazines that might be interested in reviewing/playing some indie bands from Toronto. I'm helping out an indie label and am looking for anyone interested in indie music. One of the bands sounds very Slowdive/My Bloody Valentine/Felt like and the others are more like Slint/Polvo. Any help would be greatly appreciated! and please e-mail me privately. thanks! Natalie ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: <19980514025515.10766.qmail@hotmail.com> This week's Guardian (a ubiquitous free local independent weekly paper here in SF) has a quirky little bit where they pair wine with bands.. they have Portishead as Graham's Port ("deep, lavish, intoxicating") and Hanson as Gallo Chablis cos it's "overly sweet and likely to induce vomiting." Belle and Sebastian are mentioned (!) and here's what they say: "Guenoc sauvignon blanc; crisp, very dry, and very white; several degrees cooler than chardonnay." Hmm never thought of this before... if Belle and Sebastian were food they'd be....... okay it's time to go read a book or something ta! tara ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Was he hanging out in bars before he was recorded at that college, or basically in his bedroom with a 4 track recorder? I'm trying to figure out which is more important. I kept thinking about a demo listening session at south by southwest this past year where these heads of companies were making big deals about listing tour dates when submitting demos, but really, when you think about it, how many people have actually heard of a band through a live gig? s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Anyway, it is a promo copy, and futher to the discussion a few weeks back about promo copies, I thought I'd tell you what was written on a sticker on the case. It has the full cover etc, and a sticker on the front saying 'Appearing 18-Nov-96'. On the back, though, it gets good, saying... 'Everything that made me want a career in the music business and most of what keeps me in it (aside from the money) is embodied in this unconsciously inspired, unassuming masterpiece. What's that? It's the indefinable, the elusive quality of magic, it's something you feel and know instantly and don't question, you just go with it. The charm and wit of these songs, the guileless understatement of their production, and the dark shades of meaning make this a rare gem. Does this sound like pluggerbabble bullshit? Then perhaps you've been in the music business too long. Phone me for some background stories- Scott. Belle & Sebastian play the Borderline on the 11th Nov.' Which is cool, 'cos at least it's self- reflexive pluggerbabble bullshit :-). anyway, thought you might be interested. Eek! It's just occurred to me that it might be a bad thing to buy secondhand promo copies of records, since the artists don't get any cash money as a result. Oh, the moral maze of modern living. tim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Many days ago, Peter Miller wrote "don't be put off The Trial by all that nonsense about it being a metaphor for life. Not a jot of it. It is in fact top comedy, not unlike Frank Spencer or Fawlty Towers. " In "Hurley's Having Dreams", there's a reference to Hurley dreaming of the time when he was a horse in Czechoslovakia. Could it be that "Hurley" is the song Judy "wrote" about a dream of horses? And maybe she wrote about a "horse in Czechoslovakia" because she was reading a book by a Czech author (although he wrote in German)? And maybe that's why there's a woman on the front of IFYS reading The Trial? And maybe I'll get a reply that this whole thing has been done to death a few months ago! Anyway, The Castle is the best, especially the Muir (I think) version which includes alternative episodes later dropped for the final version. 2. In real life, dreaming of horses remains financially hazardous. The gallant horse Dun Belle has been very consistent.

"Dreaming of a black horse is unlucky for a married woman as it denotes unfaithfullness on the part of her husband. Brood mares indicate companionship and connubial happiness. Being kicked by a horse is a sign that the object of your affection will do something to make you realize that you have made a mistake. Having a horse shod is a good omen for lovers, both married and single." [who writes this shit!!] then again, if she dreampt of a mare... "If a young woman dreams of seeing mares in lush, green pastures, she may expect a marriage without regrets and children who will do credit to her and her husband." looks like we need some more details on the dream, Stuart. then again, my roommate told me that a dream about horses is a dream about sex just like car dreams and flying dreams - so she started singing "Lena and her dream of driving" and i sang "Lindsay and her dream of flying" and we ran around prancing like horses. fill in your own locomotive blank and we all know the dream was far too sweet to ever discern! has anyone ever pictured what the dream was like? or had an image in their mind with any other song for that matter? lindsay lindsay lindsay lindsay ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I think a couple of years back, Garth Brooks told people that he was going to boycott record stores that sold used cds. This was complete and utter bullshit, because a.) the only stores who sell used are often the samll stores owned by real people and not corporate rock stores and b.) said corporate rock stores charge upwards of $18 dollars to buy a domestic cd in the US. Seeing how most indie labels sell their wares for less than $12 (and I myself bought sinister for less) who is getting all of this money? When it comes to corporate rock, the artists usually don't see most of it. They've been paid up front for their music and won't see a penny of the sales. If you go to pick up a used cd and you start to feel bad, don't. Usually the bands will only make money off of their club gigs and merchandise they sell at a show. You want to help out someone in a band? Buy a t-shirt.

I have just read 12 DIGESTS IN A ROW. AT WORK. I deserve to be sacked. Has anyone here got caught sinistering during work hours? Was it embarrassing? I am ashamed to have missed the London picnic for no good reason. I actually got as far as getting on the bus with food and everything, but then stopped off to get a film for my Super-8 camera and then went into Virgin and bought the new PE album and then made some excuse about the weather and went home instead. Bah! Some things: Whilst I was away, super-kind listee John Johnston wished me happy birthday. This prompted a minor birthday thread - see how I shape the list even when not here (there?). My birthdate (010573) is the 198415th place of pi, you know. Martin pondered: >In "Hurley's Having Dreams", there's a reference to Hurley dreaming of >the time when he was a horse in Czechoslovakia. Could it be that >"Hurley" is the song Judy "wrote" about a dream of horses? And maybe >she wrote about a "horse in Czechoslovakia" because she was reading a >book by a Czech author (although he wrote in German)? And maybe >that's why there's a woman on the front of IFYS reading The Trial? And there was I thinking Martin was a grown-up civil servant who had grown out of such convulted over-analysis of pop songs. Hooray that he isn't! And Tim worried: >Eek! It's just occurred to me that it might be a bad thing to buy >secondhand promo copies of records, since the artists don't get any >cash money as a result. Oh, the moral maze of modern living. Did you know that evil godfather of soulless country Garth Brooks actually took this idea seriously - he lobbyed for legislation in the US outlawing the sale of secondhand CDs. As far as I know he was laughed out of court. How greedy can you get? Where's Northy when we need an impassioned defence of corporate avarice? Can I second the Rodster's recommendation for the Black Box Recorder single "Child Psychology"? Speaking as Psychology graduate (oh yes!), the title track is perhaps a bit preposterous, but the B-sides are wonderful. Especially the cover of "Seasons in the Sun". It's been too long since there's been a female singer unafraid to be posh. How great is the way she intonates 'hour after hour after hour' on "Girl Singing in the Wreckage"? Umm... very great. And Kenickie's version of "Save all your kisses for me" made me cry. I think I might be getting into indie music again.

Details to follow. > > Cheers, > > Mick -- Then I remebered that Nick Dastoor was asking about the socials, but since I've been unsubbed for a coupla weeks I hadn't told you all anything... so the details are as follows. The blue soda social is run in the poetry cafe on betterton street in covent garden, london. it is held every friday (but not the last one this month i'm afraid) and costs a mere £2.50 to get in. for that money we supply board games, snacks (just pistachio's and crisps and jelly babies), a film/showing of sort or a live act. In our first week we screened Gregory's Girl, in our second we showed Withnail And I, in our third we had a live acoustic set from a guitar duo (softly spoken and nice melodies, a bit red house painter-ish), and next week will be our forth. We're not sure what we'll have yet, maybe we'll show Trainspotting, but what we want to do if anyone has a tape of all the South Park's to date is show those. Who knows. It's a really cool evening out, starts around 7:30pm and finishes just after 11pm (get there early to get your money's worth, or get there late if money means nothing to you!). There's a great atmosphere and you're guaranteed to meet loads of people from the list who are simply the best to be around as well as inevitably meeting some cool people who stumbled on the poetry cafe that night. For more information visit http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/social.htm -- The next London Picnic will take place this coming Bank Holiday Monday 25th May 1998 (next one will be a Sunday, we promise!), it will again be held at Primrose Hill (it worked so well the first time, so why change it?) and again we'll meet around 2pm at Camden Town tube station. Yet again we think it's a great idea if everyone brings along an item for the food blanket, and maybe we'll beat the spread we had last time - soooo much food, it was lovely :) Entertainment includes the board games and twister (i'm not obsessed honest, it's trousers who beats people up if they don't participate!), soccer, croquet (sic?), sun, food, climbing lamp-posts to save kites, running around like fools, probably someone playing a guitar, anecdotes from a mis-spent youth and whatever else you all bring. Again, and this I can't stress enough, EVERYONE IS INVITED, no exceptions, whoever you are, if you can join us, you're welcome to. Anyone needing details can, after tomorrow evening as i've yet to update it, take a look at http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/picnics.htm and if you're doing a picnic and want it listed on this page, let me know by mailing me a similiar sort of listing for me to put on the page for you. -- So that's the news, I hope it's a good enough herald of my re-subscribing. As for other news, belle and sebastian anyone?, then we hope to let you know lots of new stuff over the coming month or so. love all you still, david kitchen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Good to have you back on board the good ship sinister! Anyway, not much has been written about Thursday night yet, so here's a quick review. 6 listees met up in Cambridge, and sat around outside a pub talking for a couple of hours. We managed a bit better then the London picnic, in that we weren't just sitting in the road outside the pub, but on a bit of grass next to the river, watching the punts go past. There was Chris, Rob (minus guitar :-( ), Mark, Milla, Espadrille (bless) and me. We discussed favourite B&S songs, favourite other bands, best gigs, most obscure gigs, and even a few non-music related things (I'm proud of the fact that I didn't join in with the "who's your favourite Spice Girl" conversation...). And it was a fine evening, good company, and we're planning on having a picnic sometime after exams to meet up again. (Probably on a weekday, since we're all students - June 9th was suggested - but anyone who can come will be welcome). Right, I'm off to watch the football cup final... Stuart G (Feeling disappointed because we only came 3rd in the inter-college volleyball league...) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

How's that > for fucked up? you mean your mom or rachels or us kids are fucked up? ;-) not that i'm a kid of course, but hey. i love Rachels. it's funny playing rachels and rodan and june of 44 to people and seeing the reaction when you tell 'em about the connections. hmmm. not seen rachels play live but i hear they are excellent. i saw rodan a couple times and they were just massive. tara rocks :-) but rachels, yes... the egon schiele record is gorgeous, as is the first record, 'handwriting', and the third, 'the sea and the bells'. music is just magical atmospheric modern classical sound i guess... very beautiful. matched admirably by the packaging, produced by Chicago's One Ton Press, a concern which i'm guessing must have connection with the amazine Fireproof press who do the June of 44 packaging, as well as other stuff like Ui and Tortoise at some points. They did that Sixths 7" set too, which all the MAgnetic Fields fans will vouch for as being classic. they do cool t-shirts too. Fireproof i mean, not rachels. off to ramble in the sun. the duke ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

My lucky days are really the opposite of what they should be..and i even walked AROUND a ladder,not underneath...AROUND..still unlucky.Record store boy was not there and that right there almost ruined my day...and then in chapters..CHAPTERS a bookstore for goodness sake there was a scary pimp man,he looked at the magazines i was reading and he's like 'well that's god,but you should try a little culture ' and he was reading a Harlequin romance!! He made me read some to him..since when are harlequinns so sophisticated!? Anyways,i had to invent a boyfriend cos this guy was just scary he's like 'i never beat you,i will never beat you' i was glad when he had to leave,but am i destined to nutter pimps that read harlequinne romances? ...scared...yes... speaking of books,i am reading the Unbearable Lightness of Being,the sinister recommendations are so good,only about 527 books left to go. poor poor belle and sebastian...i was talking about them the other day,i suppose i shouldn't even have tried..boys n guitars...these types anyways,don't want to hear it..but it made me angry....they seem to only manages talent in how long and complicated guitar riffs can be,i can agree 'yes' they are good guitarists..but that music just don't have that OOMPH SHOCKA LOCKA like B&S.But i just can't explain this,i get so aggravated! Does anyone else do this little jab in the air over this one line? whenever i hear stuart sing 'i'm tired of listening to myself,yeahhh' i goota do it. does anyone else incorporate the band into stories? I swear,i would be failing if it wasn't for B&S,they just keep giving me ideas! I like shipwrecked stuart piece.We had to do a story on survival...gaterhing bits of wood n berries,but i did mine different,i made my guy accept death as his survival so he could be in peace,the only thing he gathers is some wod and string and he fashions a guitar.It ends with him dehydrated,starved,naked and sunburnt...playing guitar. ...poor ottawa,damn you washington! I swear,Stuart Murdoch IS Daniel Alfredsson,the Swedish hockey player? Same lovely fair-skinned complexion and lovely red hair...He doesn't punch or hit anybody with his stick.He holds back people,he tries to make peace.And he talks of Sweden and it's beauty,it IS him,i swear.The media would ask him about his excellent and cunning skills and he would look to the sky and murmur 'Aye,Scotland is beautiful this time of year' sigh! ...i watched the Breakfast Club (again) and the 80's insults really make me laugh. 'Can you hear this? Do you want me to (turns hand so middle finger is up) TURN IT UP?' what's with that!

Wouldn't Spanish imply that it was from Spain or spoke Spanish? Am I missing something here?). Anyway, this haze makes people's eyes water tremendously.

I am therefore only able to share in all things Sinister by being naughty at work. I don't know if being caught is an issue for me. I'm sure I'm right in believing that being part of a f-off great organisation like DCC, all our e-mails go through a single gateway and therefore someone is able to read them if they so wished. this is why all my outgoing mails go under the guise of DCC road improvement schemes or waste disposal projects !! This is also the reason why I can only subscribe to Digest. However, despite the volume of mails coming into my inbox and being sent, noone has ever said anything to me. And when my bosses walk past I am always reading e-mails. My job is so cack that I just don't care anymore. Should I change jobs in the near future, even internally, I would have to unsubscribe and thus be bored shitless for the rest of my working life. FIN.

He then came back out and carried on with the >journey. Hmmm. Strange this actually cause once I got the train from Edinburgh to Glasgow (or Embra to Glasgae is you want to be fucking irritating about it). I was standing outside the drivers bit talking to the ticket bloke and the train stopped, the driver went out the door on to the track, so I ask the ticket bloke what was going on, and he just said "Ach, the driver's just popped out for a piss". Went down the town at lunchtime today and bought a couple of singles, the Delgados one, which I really bought on account of the cover being really nice - I'm afraid I don't like the record that much, even if they did nurture a giant rat back to health. I also bought the Tricky single. The Hip Hop mix has some good beats on it, but some rather irritating noises in the background and the single itself is a bit lame - a wee bit too wilfully "arty" if you ask me. Tricky's had some fucking brilliant moments (Abbaon Fat Tracks, Christian Sands, Hell is around the corner), but unfortunately he has some pish moments too, and on first listening, I'd say this is one of them. Maybe I'll change my mind later on in the week. Had a nice time last Thursday when Megan popped up for the day and we went out for a meal at the Raj in Leith, which boasts 1983 prices, which I thought was very generous, and an excellent curry was had by all. Followed by a drink in one of the weird local pubs. Had a very nice time, and I think Megan enjoyed herself too, however, I expect she'll post a report herself. I'm working on unix machines at the moment, but figured I'd better rush back to send this letter from my PC, since Mr.MILLER is in Britain at the moment I'd better make a play to get well ahead of him in the posting stakes.

I had read praise of it for over six months on another mailing list by then, and since I am a trusting fellow, I took the chance and bought it. I put it on, and after about twenty seconds, wondered if it were even playing. I turned the volume up to be sure that the CD was not defective--only to deafened with the rest of the instruments coming in after Stuart M's quiet guitar opening. Oh, it was't such a pleasant summer living at home, but I did find myself listening to _IYFS_ often. Too often, by some accounts. A soundtrack for late nights, laying on the bed with a book, trying not to move so the heat would not attack. A soundtrack for afternoons, wasting the time away, waiting for the day to end. I am sure that I listened to it in the mornings also. I stayed at home that summer; I didn't like to leave the house. Here I am again, living at home for the summer. I have listened to _IYFS_ on some of the hotter afternoons that have graced me here; it feels so comfortable, like an old friend I have not been able to have a deep convesation with for too long. I listened to the album during the winter and spring, but it just doesn't feel the same as it does now. It is a refuge from the heat--"cool" in too many senses of the word. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Just a brief news update to let you all know what Belle and Sebastian are up to. Well, we at Jeepster finally heard the tracks of which the album will be selected last weekend. Richard and Isobel came down to London bringing the elusive CD with them. Listening to the CD made me remember just why I fell in love with this band in the first place. The recordings sound fresh and new and (dare i say it!) professional. Once the final tracklisting for the album has been decided, I will let you all know. No doubt, you'll be able to piece most of it together in your own minds already, but all I can say is that it has a totally different feel to both "...Sinister" and "Tigermilk". Not necessarily a change of direction, but more a coming together of ideas and it sounds more like a whole band expressing their inner most secrets. It's very exciting! Tentative release date for the LP looks to be late August/early September ... we still don't have a title! I also hope to have details of gigs for you all quite shortly as well. It looks as though the late summer tour will be going ahead and the band have said they're going into rehearsals for that shortly. Warm-up and UK dates should be announced soon(ish). We hope to be able to sell tickets by credit card for these gigs, info as it comes. There will also be a Jeepster web-site appearing soon at http://www.jeepster.co.uk/ so stay tuned for that as well, designed by Mr Fanclub man himself, David Kitchen (shop at jeepster.co.uk) - soon to be a Jeepster full-timer. So, over the next month or so, I hope to have the answers to all the questions you have been waiting for. I do promise to try get the official and finalised news to you ASAP, so maybe if you hear an "exclusive" bit of news, it may not necessarily be the case and only a rumour so please be patient. Well, 'til next time, Best Wishes, Katrina. ************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - jeepster.uk at virgin.net 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, uk ph - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 This message was sent to 446 people. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I have the exact same reaction to that record. I got it last may when I was on the edge of graduating and locating a real place to live in. It was a boring couple of weeks. I was sending out resumes, kicking around the overly crowded Women's Co-op (not so crowded because of people, but because they were simultaneously renovating the place as we were tripping over our own luggage) with absolutely nothing to do. That sounds good, but it was pretty dull since I couldn't figure out what to do with myself. it just felt like I was lying around the place waiting for everything. Like you're at the mercy of the universe on what was going to happen except try to slip in the kitchen every once in a while and live off of the very sparse pantry they had kept between school terms. It was also a very emotional time for me anyway since my life was about to change so drastically from what I was ever used to, and as i think about it, it seems every time I go through a big change in my life, I associate something in my life with it. In this case, at this time of the year, I hear this album and think of last summer. When i hear Morrissey's Vauxhall and I, I think of when I first showed up on campus and it was my first time away from home. When I see the moon hanging in the mid-day sky in the middle of fall, I think of that time in my freshman year in college. There is a long reason, but I won't go into it. I tried to listen to sinister at other times, and yet, it doesn't bring the power of these memories and feelings as it does at this time of year. > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Quite nice. I have reason to believe I saw a member of Tortoise purchasing the Arab Strap album yesterday in Austin. I listened to it with a friend, and we agreed it was not as impressive as we'd hoped. I finally got The Ladybug Transistor album. The members like Belle and Sebastian, as I believe someone mentioned. It's a nice listen. Jenny Toomey likes B&S, too. My friends and I like to say her name in a high-pitched voice very quickly.

You're just a sentimental fool! Life isn't poetry, you know?". Maybe she was just living the songs: "Belle and Sebastian" has a couplet that goes: "He wants to love and he wants to care But when the girls hear that they think he's so square." If it's a choice between "Dog" or the female friend, maybe the best advice is on "Century of Fakirs": "If you ever get lardy or go lame I will drop you straight away, That's the price you have to pay For all the stupid things you say". So try to keep both for the time being; then drop whichever goes lardy or lame first. :-) Martin C ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Chris Leonard just asked me to send something "funny" to the list, which as you know is against all my principles, so when I refused he's now sending me smutty and lewd innuendoes about list members. He's a bad boy and I bet he's wearing his saucy underpants at work today. In the meantime, can I be a total bore and ask people to remember again that replies to the digest won't go back to the list but to me? And then they sit in my mailbox for ages, I grumble to Splat "why doesn't anyone care, Splat?", she mutters "pish" and eventually inspite of my threats to just delete them, I send them on, with a grumpy look on my face, and accuse myself of being a right old sod. By which time the original poster has sent them again and I look like Arthur Mullard. Also - there's a right old tigermilky knees-up going on on rec.music.marketplace.vinyl at the moment. Here's a quick sample for fun, with some surprising comments about the old scratchy classic: Subject: Re: FS: Belle and Sebastian "Tigermilk" From: nez at xxx.net Date: Sat, 16 May 1998 09:56:59 -0700 Newsgroups: rec.music.marketplace.vinyl I'm basing my thoughts on the worth of this record by the fact that I just picked up TWO copies of it in Europe last month--one copy for 46 pounds--a mint copy--, (under a hundred bucks) one for 32 pounds--in very good condition--(about 50 bucks). As it goes when shopping for hard to find music the elements of luck and timing mean almost everything. A minute later or a day sooner and I may not have found them. But the point is, without trying very hard I found 2 copies for 2 of my customers--which I in turn sold for ZERO profit by the way--I take vacations all the time where I am more than happy to shop for out of print items for my customers, wanting nothing in return but the money I paid for a particular item. Making someone else happy with music makes me feel good. MUSIC is what this is all about isn't it??? That's it - go and have a look but please don't bring the growlings that are appearing on that newsgroup here: as you know, we all like dandelions, skipping ropes and fluffy puppies here.

Message-ID: Hej allihop! Yesterday I had my very first (that I can remember, anyway) B&S dream, so I thought I'd tell you all about it. A friend of mine had received an invitation to some Jeepster super-VIP reception which was to be held in some cottage here in Sweden just outside the town where I live. I don't know why she in particular got the invitation, she doesn't even have any B&S, although I once borrowed her some and she liked it. Anyway it said on the invitation that she could bring once or two people so she told me I could come since she knows how pathetically obsessed with them I am, and I kept thinking of this other friend who also loves B&S, who is the only one I know who likes them without me having introduced him, and of how happy he would be to come, but my friend said that it was so secret that we couldn't tell anyone cos then thousands of people would show up. (Hmmm... thousands of people to a Jeepster thing in Sweden?) So I left, feeling a bit bad, but really excited. When I got there we were welcomed and I think we got some drink and then a small form to fill in and provided we did that we could all come back later and meet each a member of B&S (for a chat for maybe 30 minutes or so) and I was wondering who I'd get to talk. Since I saw a picture of Stuart Murdoch which is the only member I've ever seen a picture, I keep imagining all the members having red hair (do they?) anyway so I was thinking about the different members, looking almost exactly the same although the girls had longer hair. Then they let us go in to some kind of indoors amusement parks, while we were waiting, and I'm afraid that in a big, I don't know what you call them, sea of balls, you know, room filled with colourful balls to jump in, I completely forgot about B&S (just like me) and I never got to meet anyone. Sorry, I could have asked lots of saucy questions and told you all about their secrets, but I blew it. But I had a nice time playing in the ball-sea so I guess it doesn't matter. :) What do you think all that meant? Oh well, that's it, now I'm going off to get my beauty sleep before Massive Attack tonight (tihi). Simma lugnt, Anna :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Barring some unforeseeable weather catastrophe, we will be congregating on Hippy hill in Golden Gate Park (that's near the kiddie's playground) from Noon to whenever, on Sunday May 24th. Directions (courtesy of a nice lad called Brian) are as follows: "facing gg park from the tip of haight, hippy hill is in the front to the left side right next to the big childrens playground. on sundays there is a large impromtu-ish drum circle and people play ball and frisbee and lounge on colorful spring blankets and dance and kiss the sun." The weather is looking good for Sunday - Mild, sun mixed with clouds; low of 52°, high 68°F (bring a cardigan maybe) So far we've got chips/salsa, bean salad, cookies, potato salad (I think?) and erm, vodka.... anything along those lines, just let me know what you can bring. EVERYONE is invited, so don't be shy! "shyness is nice, but..." you know the rest... this includes friends of listees, of course. I don't even really know any of the other people, but they seem very nice and surely it'll be fun:-) I'll post again before the picnic, but in the meantime if you have any questions, feel free to contact me privately. ta, tara ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Get job with shitty company that pays diddly squat and do horrid job sans holiday. 2. Figure out that said company makes programmes about computers and thus must have a web-connected pc somewhere. 3. Work till less than 4 weeks remain on contract (having fallen out so many times with production manager that re-employment an impossibility), thus making it impossible for them to fire you. 4. Spend 2 hours peaktime phone bill checking out Sinister wonders and stick both fingers (or any number you like should you have more than two) up at production manager, head of production and entire TV industry. Sorted! Also - I have now officially indoctrinated big time: my mate Matt, my best friend Jackie, my sometime american lover Marcia (soon to be popstar herself - check out band called Degogo (Air meets Blur meets Stereolab, kind of - if you know them already, write to me!!)), my friend Ella (who has turned from Anokha to B&S, and has worryingly bought the new theaudience single, which I must admit has me humming along), and, best of all, my mum, who as yet prefers Sinister to Tigermilk, but there's still time. And I'm not going to let up, oh no. Also, 6ths - nice to hear them getting a mention. I don't think I've mentioned Kate Bush for a while, so let me just remind everyone that "Breathing" is just fabbo, and "Wow" and "This woman's work" are the best things ever!! Embrace, however, suck. The one Rodan song I've got is on a split 7" with Tsunami, Superchunk and someone else - it's really nice, but for some reason I've never gone further. Anyone care to enlighten me? I also noticed (this is the last thing, promise) that I'm about the only person without a nickname. I used to be called Biondino when I was living in Italy, which of course means "little blond one", which is quite sweet - not v accurate in winter mind, but they don't have a word for "mousy" (or is it "mousey"?) In italian - perhaps "toposino" (suggestions from any natives would be v appreciated). Enough already - alla prossima! Mark xxx PS Dan, I'd kill to be in a band, but am a bit talentless. Still, I reckon I could write stuff and play a bit of bass or rhythm geetar, and my backing vocals are great. And I've got a 4 track. What are the odds of sitting round playing nothing but B&S stuff (sad, sad man)??? PPS If there are any Italians on this list, scrivetemi, as I never get to speak the bloody language anymore, and my degree is slowly seeping out of my brain. Rescue me!

Perhaps the last of these is the one they played in Manchester that I'm sure I heard the line "He had a stroke at 25" in. A sorry tale. Any ideas for the album's title?

Message-ID: Hey fellow B&Sers... It's nice to finally sit down and pen off a missive to all of you, seeing how everything I've written before has been Tigermilk requests and such... It's a fairly nice day in Atlanta, and I'm trapped in the monolithic World Congress Center at my temp job, providing tech support for microbiologists wanting to use their email. On the other hand, my mind is elsewhere, in the rolling hills of Scotland, or at least Athens, Georgia; my head is scrolling through songs like a 100-CD player set on random and injected with a heavy dose of crack. The song selections have been whipsawing from The Police to B&S to Willy Wonka to that dance track from "Trainspotting" (from the first club scene, before "Atomic" by Sleeper comes on), and so on... Strangely enough, though, it's not that bad...just existing in my own personal space, letting my mind flow freely and wildly, and the sunshine is on my face even though it's through a window, and life is nice and smooth... I DO want to get a picnic together, though...so if any Atlantans haven't spoken up yet, let me know so we can descend on Candler Park and cause some mischief, or at least some merriment. Enough babble for now...I'm sure there'll be more later... Carpe ranam, --Steven PS -- Personal recs: "The Invisibles" by Grant Morrison and "Transmetropolitan" by Warren Ellis; two bloody intense and incredible comic series, VERY worth checking out... and Neutral Milk Hotel's newest self-titled album, which has an Old American feel...

Firstly: Do you sleep on your back, front or side? (are B&S lovers a broad enough representation of the human race?) Secondly: Do seagulls have flight paths? Every day this week there is birdshit appearing across my driveway and car, which isn't too weird, but it's forming a straight line. In fact it's a line that travels 45 metres (well, paces) across my drive and down my street. And it isn't a lazy line, it's dead straight. Are the seagulls pointing me in the direction my life should go? They're pointing at a big fat nosey neighbour's house. Is she my destiny? Come to think of it i don't know if it is the seagulls, i'm just guessing from the fishy flavour of their... what's the proper word for birdshit? It could be those sinister magpies that are trying to lure me away. Enough nonsense. Anyone going to Hear Gorky's Zygotic Mynci at the renfrew Ferry next week?

Date: Thu, 21 May 1998 16:45:11 GMT Dear Steven, Hello! This is the first letter I've ever sent to a fellow Belle and Sebastian enthusiast. Permit me to introduce myself. My name is Lauren, and I study French and German at the University of Birmingham, England. I am twenty. OK, so my Belle and Sebastian story goes like this: I finished my exams last May, and a very good male friend of mine, K, bought some cheap but powerful cider (like paint-stripper) for me and my dear friend V, and we went to his tiny room in hall (student residence) and turned off the lights, warmed up the lava lamp, and he turned on the most sublime, gentle, funny, and dreamy music I had ever heard. We lay on his bed, the three of us, and had a tender and memorable evening, with Belle and Sebastian's 'Dog on Wheels' and 'Sinister' forming the soundtrack! That summer, we three saw them in the Colchester Arts Centre, a tiny, renovated church which is nevertheless extremely popular with indie bands. The atmosphere was crackling with the electricity of the fans' anticipation. I watched through the gap between the side and the armpit of the tall bloke in front of me as Stuart came on in delightful second-hand Lederhosen and the rest of the band assembled like a school orchestra on the stage full of all sorts of weird instruments. Every fan there mouthed the words as Stuart whispered his way dreamily through the band's repertoire. I bought my orange-and-brown 1997 tour bus t-shirt there, and kissed Chris on his bristly cheek, trying to persuade him to bring the band to Birmingham, which, as most Americans may not realise, is viewed as a gigantic shite-hole by the rest of the British. I don't think he was convinced! I wrote to you, Steven, because I am coming to America this summer with a friend, where we are going to travel around by Greyhound (yes.. I know it's nonsensical and dangerous! but what the hell??!!!), and we are going to be dropping in to see a bit of Atlanta. So your town holds a lot of interest for me, probably more than Birmingham does for you... I am originally from East London, so I am considered a Cockney, though at the school where I was educated one was not encouraged to retain that accent! Anyhow, I hope this is some sort of adequate introduction.. I am pretty excited about getting to know all of the people on the list.. I didn't realise B+S were so international.. although I am positive they are on their way.. Much love and dreams of horses..

Just writing to say that I agree with Joel. Memories of a color is from 1992. If Dynamite is too dark, Memories of a color is the perfect match to And She Closed Her Eyes - very gentle, very blue and very beautiful.

Reports as they come... A question - when someone writes something relevant particularly to you, or relating to something you said in a posting, is it etiquette to write to them individually or to post on the list? As I'm not sure, here are a couple of responses to things I've seen... 1. Laini - I have Degogo's first single, if you're interested in hearing some - might be worth waiting for the album, though - I think it's going to be a bit groovy (in a year's time, natch). I'll be seeing them all in a coupla months when they come over to record (for Lo-fi, the label run by Nick and Warren from Duran Duran), so I'll let you know what's going down if yr interested! 2. Milla-Isobel - yes, a band sounds like a fantastic idea!! I'm not v good with m'guitar, but I do try, and I have an idea or two. I can't believe you cover You made me forget... it's my total fave B&S song (though I'm sure it'll be a different one tomorrow). I live in London too - near Wimbledon - and jamming would just rock my world (see, I even know the lingo). Anyone else fancy it? 3. Rob b - Stina Nordenstam, YES!!! I haven't got any of her stuff (well, one song on an ancient compilation tape made for me by an extremely clued up friend 5 years ago), but I always regret finding out more. Still haven't seen Stuart on the telly - Martin Rossiter, yes - maybe later? Don't think I'll be at the social on Friday (though you never know) but the picnic is absolutely essental - and this time I might actually introduce myself to some people (lucky people), as long as they promise to play football with me! I'll have my friend Jackie with me, who's a bit unhappy at the moment, but I'm sure I can rely on you all to cheer her up. Okay, what new stuff do I have to say? The Daily Mail and The Daily Express make me angrier than ANYTHING in the WHOLE WORLD - they write such preachy, prissy, fascistic, judgmental, advantage-taking, bigoted, inciting-to-racial-hatred fucking FUCKING SHIT!!! that I can barely breathe, I'm so apoplectic. The only thing they've ever done that I've enjoyed was when they named the blokes who killed Stephen Lawrence - ethically it was v. dodgy, but in this case I fuckin' loved it. And the Levellers suck big-time. That'll do now. Pop music and football - that's what it's all about! See you on Monday, sweeties, love Mark xxx p.s. still no bloody Stuart - they always make us wait... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: My lord, I didn't expect so many responses to a deluded email sent from work! Thanks to everyone who popped out of the woodwork! I realized from these past few emails that I never introduced myself, so here I go: The name's Steven Goldman, and I'm a recent Emory grad, majoring in the mighty art of theater (acting/writing), and I don't believe in the line "Would you like fries with that?" I love all sorts of odd people and novels and music and perceptions, and it seems that you all are the sort of folks who can appreciate that... For example, I was lying on my back on the grassy knoll on the corner of Clifton and North Decatur -- hopefully the site of the upcoming Arts Center Emory's planning -- watching traffic pass me by, and clouds swirled and lolled in the air, taking on shapes and sizes before me. Most days people just pass them by, but the big balloon animal shapes were too fascinating to pass up, so I sat like a googly-eyed kid, enjoying the circus in the sky... Another Ink moment: I'm sitting at the Mudhouse, a no-longer-existent coffee hangout in Fort Lauderdale, my cup of java upraised with a quirky smile on my face. The girl, a redhead as I recall, has just passed my table, walking slowly and ambling across the outdoor courtyard, upset at being alone and bored, which was my state at the time. Her sundress flowing in the night wind, her green eyes bright under the moon...I raised my cup to her, tipping her a smile to say "I know the story, luv" and got a soft smile from her in return... Ah, those sweet smiles of life...some days they are all we need. ;) "Let's put our heads together, and start a whole new country up, Our father's father's fathers tried to erase the parts they didn't like, let's try to fill it in, thank the glory river swim, we kneeskinned it, you and me, we kneeskinned that river red..." --"Cuyahoga," R.E.M. --Steven (404) 251-8310 sgold06 at emory.edu http://tswww.cc.emory.edu/~sgold06/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Ho ho ho ho, you are soooooooooooooo wrong. I had 4 (Four) (as they do on the viddy-printer on Grandstand when some totally unbelieveable score comes in from a game between Ross County and Cowdenbeath in the Scottish third likes anyone actually ever gave a toss otherwise more than 400 would turn for the game itself in the first place)unsuccessful tests. On the fifth test I was over the drink-drive limit as I had to have quite a very large whisky indeed to stop me shaking. Naturally, this was the test I passed. Good luck in your test my dear, indeed, good luck to anyone who has any exams in the near future. Is five driving tests a list record ? To go with my list record of smartest dressed male between hours of 9-5 (I claim this as my underwear is definitely more refined than that of Christoph Leonard, allegedly), and maybe even gangliest list-git (although I feel Stuart G maybe edging me out in this one). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

A sorry tale. Yeah, that's the one. I heard a .wav-file of the first few lines and they went: He had a stroke at the age of 25, It could have been a brilliant career, Painting lines, at a school which was too well known.

Can't remember if anyone summarised: but her three LPs are: "Memories of a Color" (sic), "And She Closed Her Eyes" and "Dynamite". Buy them all! They sort of go up in ascending order of quirkiness and descending order of sweetness, while all remaining quirky and sweet (yes it's Friday). If you haven't bought any buy the middle one. Caveat: some people will hate her voice. Me, I'm just swimmingly in love. If you want be a party to other Stina rumblings, go to the Sinister WWW pages (below), go to "Search", type in Stina and click both buttons below (search all content, all months). Cheap advert - use the search thing. What else oh evil bunny clones?

HOWEVER - I want you all to kneel and kiss the "proper" University machine, charmingly called "sloth" which I am typing on, which is actually the Sinister machine and woofs for you all like a faithful doggie (except when it screws up and sends you 20 copies of the same mail). Mark Casarotto wrote: > A question - when someone writes something relevant particularly to > you, or relating to something you said in a posting, is it etiquette > to write to them individually or to post on the list? I think the only way to answer that, with my sensible trousers on, is to think how many people might like to know, and pray to Sir Cliff - there's 500 people on the list, so just - hmm make sure you might interest a good few. And, nagging mumsy that I am, please take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions on the WWW site where I've tried to give a feel, with help from some others, for what people should post and what not. Often lists die through dispersion of content and squabbling - you lot seem mostly to have an uncanny ability to rally round and save the list. That's why I wish to pleasure you all. Besides, I don't feel so bad nagging just now as I've just received the nicest message about the list from my comments page - n, I love you. Whoever it was who told us about sitting outside a pub at the London peekneek and strumming B&S songs and being asked for an autograph: a response from a band member heard recently: "That's a crazy old story about the picnic buskers. They must have been pretty bad to get mistaken for the real thing. :)" Anyone who went to Manchester will know what he means. JOKE! I think I'll go now. My travel agent called Linda can't decide if I'm being driven or trained to Glasgow this evening to the Serge do. I'm standing by the door with my hat and coat on, humming a tune and waiting to be told what to do. Honeybyes xxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I actually hopped up out of my chair and starting dancing around and singing along, I was so happy. Now the lovely people I work with are used to me being a bit strange (during the job interview I believe I told them about how I love bees, and my desk and computer are covered with bee stickers, little stuffed bees, bee stamps, a jar of honey, etc.), and they're pretty tolerant of my Belle and Sebastian obsession (I do play them almost every day here), but my boss just emerged from his office, gave me a strange look and then told me to calm down. He also asked me if I sang in my band and said there's a reason I don't :( anyway.... I AM so excited about the new B&S album that I have to just not think about it or I will simply explode.

OK OK I confess. But it wouldn't be a music list it would be a socio-economic-political experiment. According to the article on Dollar ***KEITH*** gave me over a curry, Dollar's Thereze Bazaar was romantically linked with Duran's John Taylor and "Allo Allo"'s Herr Flick. Why am I on about this? I'm wasted on you lot, where's Peter Miller when you need him? Hoping to save some dignity, and feeling guilty about not following my own advice on relvancy, or indeed spelling, I will add some B&S news of an anecdotal and somewhat dampening nature. The new LP is NOT finally mixed, I'm told, nor does it have a cover or a name. I keep telling them that I have a cover and a name all ready on my WWW page to make it easy for the wee tired lambs. Alternatively they could call it "Mirror Mirror (Mon Amour)". I still love you you know, all of you very much - it's just sometimes the ways of love are very strange. I think I'll go and torment them all in chat now and leave you all in peace. Honey xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I love the way the british swear, arse shite bloody bollocks etc etc pish. All the kids round here can do is "hella", "the music is that club was hella loud, man!" not as fun, but if I use the Brit terms then it sounds pretentious, or just wrong. Who is Jimmy Tarbuck? I went to a Bjork concert last night, and standing just a few feet away from me was this guy from Metallica, James something. So i debated, should I meet him or get autograph, although i think his band is crap, just for the hell of it? but he looked kinda scary so nevermind. well I am extremely, make that *EXTREMELY* hung over and supposed to be working anyway, so bye. taracita ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: <63f0b850.3565b81a@aol.com> 3, 6, 9 seconds of light surely refers to exposure time in a camera or under an enlarger. This I gather by the story of the photograph inside the CD case, as well as the picture of the old fashioned light meter on the actual CD. Probably time under an enlarger. That would be a long exposure in a camera. Well... unless it were one of those night time city lights pictures that you take by putting your camera on the tripod and opening the shutter with a cable release. Then the 3, 6, and 9 could refer to bracketed shots-- one exposure at each time. Whatever. I've never been able to do timed exposures very well, and my camera even has a cool timer inside of it. I was speaking with someone about this a while ago, a B&S photography connection... Ink Polaroids, Photo Jenny, etc. etc. I have to go to work now (at a photography studio, conveniently enough!).

Nice list you have here. My but this talk of Primrose Hill has me mighty homesick. I hope someone won't mind bringing me along in spirit. For my part, I'll be mentally taking along some great caesar salad. I'm wondering - are all the colloquialisms and cultural references complete gobbledygook for non-uk-listees? I mean Wogan, pish, Ronnie Corbett, Diamond White, et al. These are things that take some explaining - I mean Jim'll Fix It....where do you start? (maybe "he was a blonde man with a denim magic chair with secret compartments and he could grant the wishes of little children....")Perhaps an appendix with definitions, purely for comedy factor alone. Would any of our American listees care to respond with some things that would sound strange across the ocean? Like cheese food, cookie dough, and that bee guy from the Simpsons (he's real you know - has his own show even) Pardon me for waffling, but it's a slow day out in the sunshine and smog, and I'm getting more than a touch misty eyed from this talk of an English Summer, the dole, being a student, etc. Even the word "thesis" is starting to sound strangely romantic. Here's my real question - does anyone happen to have a copy of "Grey Skies Blue" by the Submarines I think - I've not got any of my old records out here and if anyone could tape it for me I'd be most obliged.

Exeter would be good, of course... haven't heard the mogwai single cos i don't listen to the radio. the remixes ep and lp are great though. other current listenings recommended by the duke: the boards of canada lp on Warp is the sound of falling in love underwater. Chaos A D lp on rephlex is tom jenkinson demo tracks from yers ago and is hilarious and magical acid squelches ahoy. more to your liking would be the new velocette single, with it's sterelob meets the etienne grrove, although the slower than slumber cover of paris angels' sublime perfume is the killer. Whistler's rare american shoes also smoulders. and jonathan richman. uncovered again, always sounding so great it hurts. i played orange juice's ostrich churchyard the other morning before school. it fair made me bristle. the duchess thinks that the trembling blue stars is bland shite, but i still have a fondness. i wonder if bob will ever make good his dream of becoming a postman on orkney. or was it shetland? i wittered too much. have a cool picnic wherever you are. i shall take my bicycle, ride to the top of Great Haldon and grin like a madman. i shall be thinking of you. respect, the duke dude. i'm not brave, i'm not special, i'm not any of those things. ------------------------------- Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent at lineone.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I only failed my driving test twice, but I claim the record for the quickest failure; going through a red light whilst still within sight of the test centre. I think it took about 20 seconds. The second time I was failed for undue hesitation, for stopping at a roundabout to see if anything was coming, how harsh is that?

See where breaking those copyright laws can get ya! But the packaging of my copy must be better than anything legal. Having time on his hands (about another 5 months) he has covered the cassette with the cigarette box foil, and lined the case with the packaging from the cigarette box. It's beautiful. Just in case this sounds a peculiar way to pack a cassette, Karelia are a brand of Greek ciggies, as some of you know. Go out and find a copy of 'Divorce at High Noon'. My friend describes them as "smartly dressed snobs with dirty minds and occasionaly dirty mouths" and the album as a "sort of twisted more cabaret-ish 'Casanova'". He's right. On the subject of British swearing: I didn't want to do it, I just couldn't remmember guano. If our bad language sounds cute to those across the pond, why doesn't "motherf*!#@ers sound nice to me?

Pity I'm not called Sebastian, really. Also - I bought two (the only two?) Snow Patrol singles today - a bargain £5.48 at HMV in Oxford Street (corporate whore, I know, I know). I've only had the chance to listen to one so far, but it sounded pretty fab - don't know which one it was though. Does this attone for me not coming to the social last night, Katrina? I can't wait till Monday...I also bought the new Delgados single. Mighty good it is too, though I think I may prefer the whimsy of the last one. Which reminds me (eh?) - please someone remember to bring a football (I don't have one, I'm afraid, althoguh I'll probably go and buy one if no-one turns up with one on Monday) to the picnic - I had such a superfine time last time, and I can't wait to do it again. Oh yes - is there anyone on the list who's a fan of Wimbledon FC? I just thought I'd ask, as it's a pretty rare thing to find. When I was at work recently and had nothing to do (se previous posting), I wrote a piece eulogising B&S to the heavens and beyond for the shameful and amateur obsolescence that I call my web site (well I had to do somehting with my 5 free megabytes), only I can't seem to upload it. Maybe I'll try another time - it took me bloody ages! My favourite song at the moment is "We Rule the School". Go on - shoot me down. I'm 24, live with me mum and dad, and am about to be unemployed. Again. I just thought I'd share that with you. a lunedi, Biondino xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: <199805240444.XAA19299@smtp2.mailsrvcs.net> OK. I've decided to break down and have a happy thought. Yippee! A new B&S album! I can finally put something new in my CD player. Please, for the love of God, tour Austin! I'll look up contacts for venues, cook your meals (well, I'll fully understand if you pass up on that since my friends call me Chef Boyardee) and I'll be standing at the door and keep the disinterested music snobs who show up only because it's cool outta there....or I'll guard the van and make sure nobody breaks in this time. They'll see a 5'3" woman who weighs 115 and run crying. ;^). Screw that. Just tour anyway. > I'm wondering - are all the colloquialisms and cultural references > complete gobbledygook for non-uk-listees? I mean Wogan, pish, Ronnie > Corbett, Diamond White, et al.

(maybe "he was > a blonde man with a denim magic chair with secret compartments and he > could grant the wishes of little children....")Perhaps an appendix with > definitions, purely for comedy factor alone. I don't know if those could ever be explained. I went to school in Glasgow for 3 months and watched programs with high numbers of British pop culture references (game shows......like the one about sports that I cant think of off the top of my head and Vic Reeves...super stars? I forgot) and felt like my whole language system had been ripped from me....(because my metaphors are usually pop culture) sadly, I still can't tell you much about them. I remember Chris Evans (I actually had a little crush on him!), TOTP, the Smiths lawsuit (and pics of Joyce looking a bit, erm, haggard for being only 33), Spice Girl mania before it became huge in the states and I had to relive the nightmare again once i got home, radio clyde and hanging out with Dougie one afternoon, Marc Radcliffe (my favorite...AND when he was on at 10 at night and not as some stupid morning dj), a proliferation of vinyl, and that CD's are way too expensive. > > Would any of our American listees care to respond with some things that > would sound strange across the ocean? Like cheese food, cookie dough, > and that bee guy from the Simpsons (he's real you know - has his own > show even) Cheese food? self explanatory, I hope since I've never heard that one. Cookie dough- sort of like the material used to make biscuits (british) from. It's batter that hasn't been baked yet. We feel compelled to eat it in raw form (especially when it has lots of chocolate chips) as the other half of the batch is baking in the oven. The bee guy is basically a take off of every spanish language sitcom....well, not everyone of them, but the wacky ones. Not being too familiar with telemundo (the major producer of most spanish language tv) I can only tell you more about the soap operas. Y'all need good Mexican food. I missed it a lot when i was there,. but if it's prepared anything like what the yankees make it (I get Tex-Mex since I'm in Texas) then I wouldn't bother. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > ------------------------------ > > Date: Sat, 23 May 1998 12:28:06 -0400 (EDT) > From: blink at xxx.net > Subject: Sinister: take it like a man baby if that's what you are > > hidely ho sweeties, > i have to stay in today..this is upsetting me so much...arctic woman,grrrr! > why is mothers always think you're sick when you're not..conveinantly when > you mentioned you'd be going to some guys house?

I've been driving successfully since I was 16. In England, you have to recite the Canturbury Tales while doing a backbend and eating pudding. But, that's fine with me. I think the US has too many morons on the road. You've never felt anything until you've been in Austin traffic. Then again, we have to make it easier.

Oh, here is my startling confession-I have NOT heard "my heart will go on" in it's full entirety. Not even more than 30 seconds. I am the last person alive not to hear it. I keep guessing that they play it so often on the radio so they can finally get me and rejoice that my life has been ruined. Am I that good with my dial? No. I've never seen the movie, and I live on some planet that is removed from the rest of society where I don't watch much TV, or go to any big movies. I'm boycotting Godzilla this summer. I remember how Independence Day stole a few hours from my life, so I refuse. I did see the Butcher Boy which was a fine piece of work. I had read the book over a year ago, and rejoiced that it was coming out on film, but even when I sat through the movie, I realized I'd forgotten how fucked up he was. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Well. The Loft were on Creation Records in the mid eighties and featured Peter Astor (later of the Weather Prophets and himself) and probably some other musicians. Why Does The Rain was a single, as was the much superior Up The Hill And Down The Slope. There was a compilation LP released in the late eighties, possibly early eighties called Once Around The Fair 1982-1985 which had the singles and b sides on, it is ace, my other fave songs are Winter and On A Tuesday....

The Loft were subsequently known as The Weather Prophets and released a bunch of records on the same label as well as on Elevation Records (WEA) ... songs such as "Worm in my brain" and "Frankie Lymon" from the early Weather Prophets on Creation are classics, but I'm not very keen on most of the other output. Mastermind Peter Astor also released some solo records, connections with The Caretaker Race and The Wishing Stones exist. The Duke Of Harringay will surely give you a well-informed history on the band including the usual gossip. §;^D Why am I writing this down ? Because I'd like you to focus on one of my most favourite bands ever featured on that compilation, namely The Revolving Paint Dream ... if you like "In the afternoon" a little bit, you will love the _Mother Watch Me Burn_ CD ... in fact, every B&S enthusiast should own this P!O!P! masterpiece.

Did you know that the vast majority of radio stations are now owned by a handfull of conglomerates? So what, you say? This is the result. Celine Dion's assured hit from the big blockbuster movie gets the airplay. I can't help but think of the old days (94) when a good alternative station existed here in Austin until another one owned by a conglomerate basically stole their audience (the new station had the advantage of having a much larger signal when a lot of people couldn't get the other). All my favorite songs are now gone. Big business doesn't aim for what's new. It only goes for the broadest audience, and it seems that all male artists sound like stone temple pilots and all the females are doe-eyed Jewel types. I remember how everyone made such a big deal about the angry women trend in rock. Now, look what has happened. Celine Dion all over again. Jewel makes me incredibly ill, and all i can think of is this one picture of her on a magazine that had her staring straight ahead with an expression on her face that conveyed that she didn't have a single thought in her head and I truly began to realize her appeal. Whoever the hell that is singing the song about closing time in a bar and basically chanting over and over "I know who I want to take me home" ought to be shot. That is so bad and unoriginal. s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Up The Hill is classic Loft, and the 12" has four finely crafted pop songs, one of which is a divine cover of the Richard Hell classic 'Time'. Also 'Your Door Shines Just Like Gold' which is also on the Creation 'Alive In The Living Room' in a live version which i actually like even better. And yeah, 'Winter' is a great song too. the Weather Prophets never quite made it up to the heights attained by The Loft, although many thought peter Astor was a great songwriter. he had a penchant for singing about the weather though, about which the Jasmine Minks wrote the playfully mocking 'Summer, Where?'. Speaking of the Jasmine Minks, Jim and Tom are playing acoustically this tuesday night at the Bar 12 club in sunny London town.

So I dug out a plastic plate which hasn't been eaten off (or cleaned) since last summer. I then ate some plain bread rolls, followed by some cheese slices on their own, because noone remembered to bring a knife. After that I had a Scotch Egg and some potato salad (of course noone would ever dream of eating either except at a picnic). It was at round about this time that the first major argument occurred between me and my parents. At this point I realised that it wasn't nearly realistic enough, so I finished my food whilst sitting next to a wasps' nest. At this point, 5 people complained that they hadn't had enough food and were still hungry; and everyone else packed away all the uneaten food which noone liked. Next, I stood under the shower for 20 minutes, wearing sunglasses, saying "It's OK, there's no need to move, the rain's easing off now" every 30 seconds. It was at round about this time that the fifth major argument occurred between me and my parents. Eventually I packed it all up, pausing for a brief moment to wonder how there was more stuff left than there was at the start, and why I bothered taking a frisbee which never got used all day. Tomorrow morning I will wake up and wonder how I managed to get sunburnt, despite the fact that the sun didn't come out all day. All in all, it was a fine day. I must do it again sometime.

Well, I dont know exactly what you meant by 'arty,' but Jeanette Winterson is a pretty fine author. Certainly an artist with the written word. Her books have all these lovely sentences that youll want to shout in the face of everyone you meet, enlightening them: "History is a string full of knots...the best you can do is admire it, and maybe knot it up a bit more..." The Passion is a good place to start if youve not read anything of hers before. Short and leaving you thirsty. Read it with the Magnetic Fields' "Josephine" playing in the background. All of you must have lots of time to read now too, after having failed all those exams and whatnot....alas, I have a whole week to wait before mine begin... :) Jess ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I'm not actually on this list, I'm on the Divine Comedy list Europop, but there seems to be a huge overlap between the two so I hope no one minds me butting in too much... I'd just like to take this chance to advertise a Belle & Sebastian fanzine a friend of mine has been working on for donkey's years and has just managed to finally get it printed. I told the E-poppers that she was a bit despondent about selling more than a handful of copies, and they suggested I tell you about it, so here I am... It's called "Bus Stop", it's by a lurvely gal called Kristen and you can get your mitts on a copy by sending £1 and an A5 SAE to: Bus Stop, 19 Caburn Heights Southgate West, Crawley West Sussex, RH11 8QX Although I'd be the first to hold my hand up to accusations of bias, it really is a jolly good read, including things like: -an exclusive interview with Mark Radcliffe on why he loves B&S (no, honestly) -why Buses are the new rock'n'roll -that Roald Dahl/B&S link explained in full and if that hasn't got you going, take a look at Rathmines' sister site which has a lot of other stuff about this fab fanzine: http://users.aol.com/catharton/busstop/ Ding ding! -Patrick Rathmines: http://users.aol.com/catharton/divinecomedy/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I left town for beautiful Adirondacks and spent the weekend on a 110-year-old guideboat. It was a clear and windy weekend, and someone's dock was floating around the lake of its own will. Much as the speedboaters are an annoying breed, I figured it was too much punishment to have them die by slamming into a half-submerged floating dock, so I towed the thing with this rowboat, one inch at a time, to the side of the lake. Then, still exhausted, I come across an earnest bearded couple (she was bearded too) next to a canoe; actually the canoe was one inch from sunk, and the travellers were treading water in their pants and sneakers, trying to save their Nikon from drowning. Well so here was tow-job number two. Part of me felt heroic, but once I got canoe to shore (it was like trying to drag an elephant), I got surly; the couple thanked me and I just nodded and kept rowing. Later on I felt bad--shouldn't I have given them a big smile and "it could've happened to anyone"? No. It was more fun to be surly. What does this have to do with Belle and Sebastian? Nothing, except I came home to so much Sinister mail, I had to write back (fight back?) --Vladimari ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: <356A5AFE.5BF929B5@erols.com> This is my last flailing attempt to send this to the mailing list, as it's oh-so bloody-well embarassing. Hi! I'm Alex, male, and soon to be 26. I was originally planning to move to Europe on the 1st of June, but - alas! - am at the whim and extreme ditherings of both my future (i hope!) university and the Belgian Embassy. Plainly said: It is taking me a bit longer than expected to get my student visa for Belgium. I probably won't be able to leave before the 15th now... Now the real corker (and the truly embarassing bit) comes: I have finally been able to get somebody to take over my lease on my apartment. This would ordinarily be good news, but it now means I have to move out on the 1st, meaning I shall have to go live under a bridge and in a cardboard box. My question: Is there any kind soul in the Washington, DC, area that wouldn't mind taking me in for a week or two. I am clean, housebroken, can even cook a bit and would love to do the dishes. Plus, I am more than willing to chip in for rent, as I hate to impose on anyone, especially not for free. I would be ever-so grateful, as this has been a truly horrid month for me. Trust me, this is a last resort. I am completely sane (I hope some people in sinister can vouch for me. Right, Laurel?!! Sarah?!!) and not much of a bother to be around at all. So, please please please, if there is somebody out there, please drop me an e-mail or give me a ring at 301.887.1262. I would be ever so grateful. This wee lad just wants to get back to Europe to his mummy. Sorry if this is the 3rd such message you receive! Just having posting problems on the list... Thanks very much.

First that Madonna with her hymn to Brookside's erstwhile lipstick-lesbian "Anna Friel" in the chorus to "ray of Light". And then Mr Busta (LeAnne) Rhymes in his Knight Rider sampling new hit keeps shouting "Fido! Fido!" - it's obviously a story of loosing his dog one day and going on a desparate search. Choosing a name for a dog if you live in the 'hood must be dead tricky. I mean if your standing outside your house shouting for it you'll want it to have a tuff name and not something that might prompt your neighbours to think you were anything less than the dopest flyest O.G. mofo in town. If your dog's called Mr Woof Woof people might think you were a tad whack. my mate had a similar problem with his cat in Glasgow. He loved ice hockey as a kid but he didn't want to stand on his doorstep shouting "Gretzky! Gretzky" at the top of his voice - so he called it "Bossy" instead. Go figure. Now - can anyone help me with a music tip ; "Boards of Canada" (or whatever they are called) --- bangin' or bollox? I've heard they are from Edinburgh and make twiddly techno high in the lofty (hem hem) Pentland hills. And they say Canada in their name so that's another good thing. Edinburgh and Canada - that's most of my favourite things catered for - if they ever do a song called "tea-time choccy biccies" I'll be in heaven. sorry for the lack of content I just needed to share. xx John ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

A few highlights for you... # David and Gerard stealing some poor medical students' bikes and bombing round the park in an attempt to break the speedometers # Unsteady Elisabeth stealing some dogs # Rory 'The Cat' Mackie's astounding performance between the sticks in the five-a-side match # Aussie Shelley claiming the highly coveted 'Player of the Match' trophy for scoring five goals in one game # Sabine acting the cultural ambassador and judging the petanque matches with l'insouciance francaise # Everybody ignoring my rather pathetic drunken plea that we play kiss chase # Steady Mike buying about 40,000 bags of crisps # Linda inducting us into the mysteries of bloody marys Well, it was another grand day, and the weather turned out to be just fine. Hats off, once again to the Blue Soda crew. There was some speculation at one point that the next picnic should be held in Brighton, in an attempt to cause some kind of mod mayhem at the seaside and maybe inviting the members of the Arab Strap list to a big scrap on the pier. Can I just mention that Blue Soda social will be taking a well-earned break this Friday... we should be back again the following week (June 5)... Til next time...

While we're at it may I do a reminder too, that may be of some interest to someone somewhere in the UK. I noticed last night "That Sinking Feeling" is on tomorrow afternoon, on channel 5. Which is a total bugger really, since I live in the wilderness and don't get channel 5. But anyway, "That Sinking Feeling" was Bill Forsyth's first film I believe, the immediate predecessor to "Gregory's Girl". And it's lovely, though not quite as lovely. It also stars Robert Buchanun (Andy in GG) and I like him. So tape it or something. If you don't like it you have permission to spank me. No you don't. Yes you do. ALSO A crowd of us went to that Serge Gainsbourg thing on Friday which was quite magnificent. Stevie B&S played on a few songs, then sang one all by himself which was utterly charming. However I got somewhat sidetracked when Keith started kicking himself up the arse for no apparent reason.

Loads of new stuff so catchy I was singing along after 30 seconds, most of the best stuff off "Barafundle" and the great "Heart Of Kentucky" to finish off. I don't know why Gorky's don't get mentioned more on the list, because to me they are one of the few bands who manage to do something completely different to anyone else and yet remain catchy and accessible - just like B&S. And the new single's great. Space were really good in Dublin last weekend too, but I'm not sure that you're allowed like Space on this list. Am I right? Thanks to another listee, I finally got to hear what all the fuss about "loneliness Of The Middle Distance Runner" was about. It's great stuff, as is the rest of that Scottish session, and I've been listening to nothing else for 3 days solid. I think the reason the list hasn't been getting too excited about the new album yet is that there are still no definite dates for it yet, but if this stuff is anything to go by it'll be just as great as the other two. Though "professional" is a bit of a worrying word to describe them. Begging time: are there any French listees out there who might be able to give me details of hostels,camp sites, places to go, record shops even,etc in Toulouse, Bordeaux and Paris as I'm heading over for a couple of World Cup games and I have done NOTHING about getting organised. All help gratefully received. Finally, welcome back to David & Katrina. It wasn't the same without you. Any word on when t-shirts might be available?

Here's what I've been reading: Pickle by Dylan Horrocks (unfortunately on some sort of hiatus after 10 issues), Berlin by Jason Lutes, and of course Love and Rockets (the comic was first), Eightball and Optic Nerve. Detailed descriptions are unavailable due to laziness, but Pickle centers around a town called Hicksville in New Zealand, and Berlin is about Berlin in the early 20th century. Now that the new song titles are in, maybe we should do a "Favorite/Favourite new song title" survey, to complement the Favorite Song poll already on the Blue Soda site, I think. Just send your picks somewhere, and they will be posted. My favorite is I am Death, Will you please kill me? I never thought that B&S would use that title, but it just goes to show... Also, if anyone is from Sussex, do you have anything interesting/good/bad to say about the university? I'm going there in October for an MA program, and I want to see what I'm getting into.

This is totally irrelevant, but Hicksville in New Zealand is the old name for Hastings. And it was a lot more appropriate, let me tell you. Anyway.

I made up for it by spending 25 quid on rekkids, including some Nick Drake hits album - any advice to a Drake virgin like myself? I do like the Urusei Yatsura single, mind - and the Kenickie one has grown on me, I must say... Do Belle and Sebastian allow their songs to be used in feature films? I only ask because my mum, who absolutely loves them, tells me that a couple of movies to be made very shortly want to use B&S material. Have any films up to now included them?

Yep - I got that "best of" album and took it back shortly afterwards, because there only are four albums and I realised after about one song that I wanted all of them, and so had no use for the best of album. Take it back and get Five Leaves Left, followed by Pink Moon. Or just get the box set...! Nick. ::::::::<0958 714062>:::: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I promised when Sinister started that I would have all your babies and today I'm delivering. Yes Sinister is 9 months' old today and your babies are fair popping out. Ouch, it hurts. I expect flowers. Poor old Alex, who thought the list was knackered and sent a message three times - an explanation. In the "good" old days lots of people sent "administration commands" (like "unsubscribe") to the list - a common mistake, and one you can't entirely blame people for (well you can but the software should be better). People on the list got fed up with this. So I turned on a standard check for it in the software, which looks for things like "unsubscribe" and "help" and sends them just to the list admin her/himself - so now only *I* get to see them, and if in fact they're OK I "approve" them via email and send them on. Aren't I nice? Thing is - the checking is a little too keen and thought, because Alex said "HELP" at a strategic point, that he might be one of these pesky trouble-causers and so asked me to check first. And because I was being rushed to the Western General in the back of a taxi, screaming for morphine and wondering what to call my children, I wasn't around. So the moral to this tedious explanation is: a few (< 1%) or emails will get trapped and I will have to give the software a nod. If you'd rather I turned this off again (email me privately) then I'm happy to. I just noticed some people got pretty fed up with a lot of these unsubscribes going to the list (reminder: don't send them to sinister, send them to majordomo at majordomo.net!). [P.S. haha - I just had to approve THIS email] What else? Well I might change the whole list's addresses for email and WWW to something else - it makes in more portable in the future. So look out for changes on the website http://bee.home.ml.org/sinister :) and in the footer if I decide to - the old ones will of course still work for a bit but I'd prefer you to use the new. Another damn good reason is so that my email address can be something fun. Anyway I'll let you know if I decide to change it. honey at bee.ml.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

This was top. Chris talks about me kicking myself up the arse, well, Chris has had me laughing for a good few days by describing the Queen Mother as being "More machine than man". Are there enough people in Edinburgh by the way who want to come to a picnic? I mean I can certainly bring a load of people along, but that's not really the point, would more people come along if it were in Glasgow again? What do people think?

And that was rudely cut short when the hideous she- beast that is one of the heads of production (5 foot cubed - not that there's a problem with being large, but when you're a shit with it it seems an obvious target for abuse) confiscated the game like we were some kind of naughty schoolkids. As my mate pointed out, if they will pay us fucking pocket money... Still, my reintroduction to computer games has been a mixed blessing - it's nice to discover all these flash-looking things to while away the time with, but when whiling away becomes wasting your life it's probably a bit negative. Fortunately I don't have a Playstation at home, so I only do it at work. As a matter of interest, has anyone on the list seen "Games World", my very own programme, on Sky 1 on weekday and Saturday mornings? I wouldn't go out of your way to watch it, as it's fairly trousers, but I'd be fascinated to see what people think of it... It's only when I start writing these letters that I realise I have almost nothing of interest to say. For this I apologise. My legs are still aching from the footie at the piquenique (and from standing akimbo while various fey young men got between my legs (ah, glorious days) - you had to be there), but it has to continue - I will become a man- mountain of muscle and sinew, I will! Anyway, the school bell's just gone, so until I'm bored tomorrow, I'll catchya later, honeys! El Biondino xxx -- gamesmaster ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: <81C1FB3F4D1ED111A51400805FC1DF031A074D@amerwksnt01.xil.com> A quick report on the San Francisco picnic, which occurred over the weekend. After overcoming my initial shock that other people actually showed up (there were 6 of us total) we sat round a lovely colorful blanket and gorged ourselves on Tostitos, Entenmann's cake (yumm!), Oreos, bean salad, and pita bread with hummus. "Cheese food product" and vegemite were noticeably absent, tho not to the dismay of anyone present. We drank some vodka drink, we drank some whiskey drink. The ensuing chat culminated in indier-than-thou posing as everybody tried to out-do each other with the obscure nature of their musical interests, and who'd gotten into B&S first and knew more about them. Trying to alleviate the tension, Joanna started telling jokes only to have James roll his eyes in exasperation, saying, "Listen this is pish, I think I'll leave..." and high-tailing it out of there. Then Brian bitch-slapped me for (*accidentally*, mind you!!) spilling Sprite on his blanket. Typical Belle fans... who you calling twee? nah In actuality, it was a sunny, relaxing day and the company couldn't have been lovelier! Conversation topics ranged from mod poseurs to Spice Girls (Baby rulz), life in Seattle and Kraftwerk. Entertainment included a bare-breasted hippy woman "possessed by the spirit of Stevie Nicks" who leaped and frolicked in the grass chasing rainbows and such. No need for a ghettoblaster when you have live bongo music!! (they don't call it Hippy Hill for nothing!) We tried borrowing a puppy from one of the abundant soap-dodgers in the park, for company. Thanks to all who came! We should reunite for a record release party or something, no? Tarararara ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Actually, all that mess about Nabokov was just a pretext to glean other information: I am looking for Chris from Denver. Jaysen lost your email address and he needs to plan a picnic with you. Email me privately and I'll give you his new address. Thanks for the bambini, HoneyPaul! joining the Arturan sect, jennifer ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I've left some sweeties in the cupboard and you can stayup late. I am going to be away (mostly) with the dreaded family in Hertfordshire, trying not to say rude words in front of my Dad (current readout: Mad Dad, Mitsubishi-selling older brother, Ford-selling younger brother, wives and children who look like Fred off Coronation Street - funnily enough they don't really like Belle and Sebastian), So I'm going to relax all the settings on the list that help me fend some junk - expect a few "unsubscribes" maybe - just so your messages get through. Hopefully you will all just tick along happily and not notice that my chair is empty - I sometimes wonder if I went under a truck how long the list would happily go on for without anyone knowing. Someone say awww. I actually (maybe) messed one up this morning - the message from the "undisclosed recipient" (if it appeared that way this morning) was in fact from David Kitchen in dark sunglasses - sorry David. Also, I'm going to dare suggest something here - a reminder that one or two people could pack up their emails to the list a little more, so that they send one big one rather than 5 small ones - generally people ask me to keep suggesting this. Finally, let's play Jive lyric spotting (it's all Keith's fault): "Mojo walked t'his dead cuz' he dought he'd neva' feel dis way again If he goes back t'de crib den doodads would go fum baaaad t'wo'se, whut could he do?"

Message-ID: <356D7AAF.4054@gold.globalcafe.co.uk> Whooo! First off, thanks to everyone for a wunderbar primrose hill afternoon on Monday. I'm now back at work (dontcha just love loooong weekends?) and have full net access, so here's my tuppence worth: Everyone realising that Gerard looks just like laconic jock stand up Arthur Brown, "That's the kind of man I am.." Two slightly dishevelled sinisterines waiting for us on top of primrose hill, having been there since FOUR O'CLOCK in the bloody morning after getting back from the Verve shindig somewhere up north. Surely devotion above and beyond the call of duty. Give these people a medal. NOW! Actually playing a game of football where:- #1 We picked teams in under three quarters of an hour. #2 Some girls played, RAAAY! (If Shelley had been picked for the Australian squad Terry Venables would still have a job this summer). #3 I was in a state approaching sober and therefore avoided anymore embarrasing Dave Beasant style mishaps in goal. Everyone deciding to go to Brighton dressed up as the cast of Quadrophenia on push-along scooters and then have a pitched battle with loads of Rockers on Raleigh Choppers. People climbing things for the pleasure of it and not just to impress kite-less girlies. The longest EVER drunken name game. Just how Mark knows so many female tennis players will forever remain a mystery. Deciding Mike is now called Staedy Mike for no apperent reason. Sample quote:-Everyone: 'Mike, why are you called Steady Mike?' Mike: 'I don't KNOW!' (repeat every five minutes) Aah happy days. Stay wide on the left.

Does anyone else find exam stress none-existent? I keep hearing the radio one exam slam thing, with everyone going 'Exams completely killed me.' and 'exams ruined my life'. However, I seem to find them very relaxing. Should I? Also, if you're in Sheffield, go into Oxfam on Ecclesall road (just up from tesco, blockbuster + pizza hut) and buy a rug - bethey has spent hours putting price labels on them and it would cheer her up no end.

I`ve waited for a good moment to write something,but it never came so I do it anyway.All of you are talking about exams,but JON.G said that it is not stressing for him.He said that exams are relaxing.Relaxing??? Are you out of you`r mind? When you study for seveal weeks in isolation,than on the day of the exam you get up at four a.m and it gets to you that you don`t remember a thing ,so you end up swallowing a dozen relaxing pills,but you`r still out of your head,and you go to the exam,that you usually pass. Well,you`re right.Relaxing is the word.Anyway,if someone spots an interesting band,please E-mail me privately,and let me know. Being here(poland) is sometimes depressing,because I can`t even or4ganize a picnic,or maybe I can? Polish listees,get in thouch.Well,I think that`s all. till next time. cheers., Marta -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Saw it last week, very "kitchensink drama" and actually quite good. As for Booth, I didn`t imagine him breaking into "Sit Down" after the first half hour, so I guess his acting must be pretty good.

My name is Jochen and I am from Germany (Schöne Grüße auch an die anderen 5 Deutschen hier), where Belle And Sebastian never made it and will never make it into the headlines or heads or record players of the mostly dumb and ignorant people here. I like the warm and intense sound of the songs and the nice and convenient atmosphere of them. My favourite is the "Sinister" album, the singles were a bit weaker I think, though "Put the book back on the shelf" is my fave song. I don't have to much information about the band, so before I ask some stupid questions that everybody has heard before, I try to inform me elsewehere. Hm, just one question: are B&S planning a new record (single or album)? The last one is from long ago....

I downloaded the first 50 seconds of the song one night through the Tweenet site and started playing it over and over again in my computer for at least half an hour. I was so touched, I was moved to call my ex-girlfriend all the way through the Atlantic Ocean at 3:00 AM just to sing her the song and share that moment of musical and emotional awe with her. The funny thing is that, even though I still don't have a tape of Tigermilk (which will change very soon, since Ron has kindly offered to tape it for me!), some of the B&S songs I like to sing along the most are from that album. "How so?", you may ask. Well, let's take "The State I am In" as an example. The whole song has more or less the same meter, so I just sing the whole thing to the melody of the part available through the net. The big problem is the "I gave myself to sin" part, which I have absolutely no clue to how it goes, so I just made up my own melody to that part, which I'm pretty sure is light years worse than the real one. I do the same thing to "She's Losing It", "You're Just A Baby", "My Wandering Days Are Over", "I Don't Love Anyone", and "Mary Jo", so if you ever hear some guy walking down the street humming one of this songs clompletely out of tune, well, that's me! By the way, I also like to sing "We Rule The School" and "Just A Modern Rock Song", even though I have never heard a single second of either one. Pretty sad, huh?

Funny you know, I was thinking this recently too as banks always use it as their first line of security, and then remembered where this porn name bit up from (at least that's why I brought it up on chat, I suspect it's been going for a long time) and it was Chris Evans... i.e. the Devil, no wonder he's so rich, what a cunning plan. There was something funny on the radio this morning, oddly enough from Zoe Ball. A woman goes up to the bar and asks the bloke at the bar, "Can I have a double entendre please?", so he gave her one.

Manchester picnics: I can't go to any until July, I think - so much to do. Go ahead and have it anyway, cos we'll get too scared to go anyway. Isn't the new money mark album good - especially sides a + b - if you have the vinyl. Oh well, I thought I had loads of things to say, but I don't. Wouldn't it be fabulousosos to all be extras in the new B&S video. A great idea.

Now I'll look silly when I tell all my friends and they already know it because it's been on national radio. My friend Dearbhla told me a joke about the RUC yesterday which was moderatle funny, but it's v. longwinded and potentially offensive to Irish protestants, so I'll leave it for now. I think I made it for two days without posting anything, which isn't bad - but I imagine this is how a first cigarette feels after weeks of gnawing your feet off and finally giving in... Just listened to String Bean Jean again after remembering (does anyone else have a huge fuckoff problem typing the word "remember", or is it just me?) how great it was at the picnic. Just when you think they can't get any more evocative...this new album has an unprecedented amount of sheer wonderfulness to be compared to... It's a beautiful evening, and I'm copping out of popstarz as I have v little money (sorry Rory), but I think I shall go for a stroll in a second and try and let a bit of nature penetrate this grimy, narrow-minded city boy. I like the spring. See you all in 7 days? Social is on next week, I am presuming?

It goes all quiet after midnight Greenwich Mean Time. Does that mean everyone is in the U.K. - or are the rest of us too polite to start conversations at this ungodly hour - and will little listie get a later bedtime as it grows up? And what does "more professional" mean exactly? I heard the words Steely Dan - truly, a double-edged sword. Could be good, could be...oh of course it will be good. Having said little, I am off, like a dirty shirt.

They are an English dance-pop trio who specialize in kitsch, I guess you could say. Their music is sort of ironic pop, some of it remniscient of the girl groups of the 60s, some of it more euro-cheese disco. Have you heard of Dubstar? Peach (Union)? Mono? Even the Cardigans? To some extent they all took ideas from St Et, with lesser results (save the Cards), IMHO. If you like Pizzicato Five, that's another fair comparison. The vocalist of Saint Etienne is the adorable feather-boa'd Sarah Cracknell, a true DOLL with the voice of an angel. Saint Et's most recent offerings don't quite live up to their earlier stuff, but the album "So Tough" or their compilation "Too Young To Die" is a good starting point. If you want I could even throw together mix tape for you... Anyway i'm sure there are tons of people who just hate the Et, but that's my two cents. viva las vegas!! tarabelle PS YAY Jochen!!!

I love St. E as well, and agree about the more recent stuff being less impressive. "Foxbase Alpha" is one of my favourite albums, in large part because of the remarkable remake of "Only Love Can Break Your Heart". I heartily recommend them to anyone who enjoys popish dance music with a truly impressive vocalist to go along with it. David. ps-- this is my first post, having just subbed a few days ago. I am usually content to lurk for a few weeks, but St. Etienne is one of the few bands I know enough about to comment on. Now if only someone starts a thread about Morrissey or the Sundays or ice hockey, I'll be totally at home... ;) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
