Sinister: Faggy but nice

[Lucy Alder]

**With reference to other listees...**

I notice that Mark casually slipped into his post that he went to the gym last night.  He's been
going for a while and I thought it was all part of his masterplan to become a boring grown-up
before his time.  Now I know better, of course - he just wants to be Sinister's first and foremost
Muscle Mary.  

My my, Rickbozard has a fiery temper, doesn't he, girls and boys?  And I thought vegetarians were
all wishy-washy, hippie types, keen to spread peace, love, daisies and tofu.  Cheer up,  you old
bugger, you're not dead yet.

Sinister Diva Llaura Llew, whose Ls I pronounce like those in Llanelli, I didn't get your email
I'm afraid - send it again and add a postscript telling me your secret.  Poetry indeed!  Whatever
next?

Hello to everyone who came to the Magnetic Fields gig in London (and Sinister was very well
represented indeed).  Who was it who went to the one in Brum?  I'm jealous - did they really do
lots of new ones?  We got 27 Love Songs plus an oldie.  But it was still GRATE.

**Content (wonders will never cease)**

First up, did anyone else notice that Knightowl asked if anybody ever posts any content and then,
just like that, up popped our very own boogie-woogie bugle boy from company B&S with a new diary
entry?  Anyway, I thought I'd continue the trend and copy out some things that were in August's
Select that I'm pretty sure haven't been mentioned before and which may be of interest to those of
you that are forrin and would have to fork out considerably more that two pounds and seventy-five
pence for your own copy.

>From an interview with Alan Rankine:
Select:  You oversaw the course at Glasgow's Stow College that led to the recording of Belle &
Sebastian's Tigermilk album.  How was that?
Big Al:  Yeah, I was there for most of the five days when it was being recorded and mixed in the
studio.  Stuart Murdoch just had so many amazing songs, the best lyrics I'd heard in a long time. 
Stuart is quite a guy.  I remember the first time I saw him he was wearing a three-piece suit with
his pyjamas underneath - tops and bottoms! - in the middle of Glasgow.

Stuart Murdoch - style guru.  What I want to know is, how could he tell Struan was wearing pyjama
bottoms under his suit trousers?  I have mental image of undone flies and a bit of blue and white
striped  brushed cotton poking through.  Swoon! 

Mick Cooke on Napster (RIP):
"I received an email from somebody who discovered Belle & Sebastian through Napster... he's since
bought all the records"

Come on, fess up, was he talking about you?  And goshdarn, can't they find a picture of Mick that
WASN'T taken at the Brits?  What about the delightful one on the new album with the Farrah Fawcett
wig?  Cor!

The Symbolism of B&S LP Sleeves:
What's the girl on the front of Belle & Sebastian's FYHCYWLAP album holding?  I Fought In A War by
Glynn Hurst.  You'll search the Penguin catalogue in vain for it, though - it was invented by B&S
singer Stuart Murdoch and their manager Neil Robertson as a tribute to the Ayr United striker of
the same name.  Apparently, he's a very pacy player who joins the attack brilliantly, how will
Glynn react to this JR Hartley-like fame?  A Gazza and Lindisfarne-stye collaboration surely
beckons.

Ho and, indeed, ho.  Did we already know this info?  I think I knew the book didn't exist, but I
didn't know who Glynn Hurst was.  But then, I know nothing about football.  That's why I support
Woking.

*Friday night's alright for dancing*

Londoners, tonight is Track & Field night.  I'll be there in a red pencil skirt and my second
highest heels - who'll join me?

Juicy Lucy
