*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Well well there are a few thing i'd like to discuss. any many questions. so that'd be goo,if i could a few at least answered. SUBJECT 1- US & UK LP DIFFERENCES: Ok the album is lovely!! but where is the legendary B&S story inside the case? i find none. is there on eon the UK CD? are there any differences in the UK & US versions of the CD? SUBJECT 2- BWTAS SONGS: I must object to whoever said bagpipe is not good on pop songs,because "sleep the clock around" is the most lovely song i have heard. And i also like how isobel sings and stuart.d sings. the only songs that are not GREAT but are still good are "Chickfactor" and...well that's it. it's just too....i dont know,but ok. the album is great. SUBJECT 3- THE REVIEWS THE REVIEWS THAT RATED THIS ALBUM "NOT SO GOOD" WERE WRONG !!!!!!! that's all on that subject. everyone enjoy the album!!!!!! -a.james "the boy with the smile and the new b&s cd" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Or the even better name...clam diggers..."I'm going to put on >my clam diggers and go hunt for some clams,what are you doing tonight?" >Are they really so trendy? No one in my school has worn any yet,it's all >cargo pants (including me) now those are comfortable and,so handy! HA! Yes! Pedal Pushers ARE EVIL! Following on - you must be a pretty evil person to wear them, OR, just seriously misguided. In everything. Poor Isobel. I am sure she didn't mean it....please someone tell me she was forced to wear them. Yes Pookie, I HATE them!! clam diggers! Exactly! Ooh, I'm jus' gonna get dem clams and thats my saturday night sorted...aargh! YES they are so trendy here. All the trendy dudes wear them. Thank the lord thou are not here. I wear my purple pants and my black pants and my lovely selection of skirts and my trainers all the time. It has become a principle to wear them all the time. 'COS - 1) they is comfortable 2)It pisses all my DM wearing mates off :) are cargo pants combats? 2 of my friedns went out and bought a pair on the same day - it seems slightly bad to wear them now... > >don't worry your pretty little heads if you don't like >chickfactor,(i do!) Yeey! I aint the only one! YES I think it's lovely. SO phththththtth! to anyone who hates it. >i really really love that picture of >Stuart David in the art gallery, he looka so dark and artiste,he's my >number one pin-up boy... Yes well just be glad you can't smell him.....berrlimey missus. OI! You!! Adrian Evans! You called me : >Hairy Hermesetas and that isn't my name! And it's not even funny! And I didn't giggle at it! I got ANNOYED YOU YOU YOU SMELLYBELLY!!!! > He then carried on blathering absolute twaddle (and Mister Miller I DO NOT WITTER - I WIBBLE) like this : >Don't be so harsh on the girl, she was probably just trying to fit in with the >natives. There is NO EXCUSE! It can't be right, I must have imagined it. It.. it can't be real....and you do know you have insulted EVERYONE in Leeds dreadfully now. You just wait. You just lie awake at night waiting for the hordes of Leeds to come and take their revenge.... I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Sinister: ticket swap?
by matthew william snyder 14 Sep '98

14 Sep '98

hello all, in an effort to avoid horrible ticketmonster charges (which are $5.50 per ticket for the NY show, plus the $3 shipping cost), i would like to propose a little trade. i would be more than happy to pick up tickets for the philly show at the box office (no service charge) and send them to a NY listee who can do the same for me for the nov. 2 show. this also goes for the DC show (if it's not sold out yet (?)). please email me privately if you're interested. sticking it to the man, matthew +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Start spreading the newts
by Mark Casarotto 14 Sep '98

14 Sep '98

Well, thanks to you all being so positive, and a huge thank you to the lovely Todd Beatty, cos I've just booked my flight to JFK and there's nothing I can do about it but get swept along in the excitement of it all... Thanks also to Tim and Paul who suggested potential accommodation - any further advice on where to stay for (relatively) cheap would be lapped up; I'm staying 5 nights, though this can be changed if necessary. Ohmigod! I can't believe I've actually spent £247.45 of my precious English pounds (plus tickets) and I'm loving it!!! Anyone who has the slightest reason to email me privately on this subject please do (what to do, where to go, who to see, ad nauseam), as I do feel a small knot of fear building up in my tummy - I don't think a fortnight in Canada 3 years ago has prepared this shy wee lad for the extravagant riches of my dream destination... I'm slightly dazed by the whole shenanigans and have little to add on the subject of Belle and her mate Sebastian. Hmm - oh yes - how can anyone say that Tigermilk's not a patch on Towboats? I'm not the type to be indier-than-thou (honest!), I just think you're very wrong. I may have overlistened to it over the last few weeks, but to me it's a distant third, with only songs like the title track and Sleep...Around making it as essential as I'd hoped. It's still fucking fantastic, as you all know, but there's a good half-dozen songs on it that I have no desire to hear for a while, and even after 6 solid months of pawing over the other two I've never been able to say that. Sorry to end on a negative note, but I'm sure in a week's time I'll look at this message and barely be able to believe what tosh I was speaking. So for now I'm going to go home, bung The Congos on the stereo and relax like a particularly unenthused sloth. Ta ra, Biondino +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: just another Manics monday
by Cassell Professional Publishing 14 Sep '98

14 Sep '98

There's a very nice review of the album in the new Mojo, by the way, with a mini-interview with Stevie. Also, there was a good review of the London show in yesterday's Observer, together with a very cute pic of Stuart in his felt t-shirt. Unfortunately, the review (although positive) tried to set the band up as the 'anti-Oasis', which is the kind of journalism that makes me yawn... Everyone's so desperate to create a scene right now, and it would be such a shame if B and S got lumped in with anything. My delightful girlfriend has managed to get the band into our forthcoming Dictionary of Slang publication - in the shops for Christmas, and well worth the money for containing 2100 terms for masturbation alone. Anyway, if you look under the word Off (which has many definitions), one of them includes the example: Sarah was grooving off Belle and Sebastian. With publicity like this, no wonder the band don't need to bother. Oh, the album is number 5 in Our Price, by the way. Isn't it true that something like a quarter of all CDs sold in the UK are sold through Woolworths? I'm sure I read that somewhere. Take care, DAVID +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: TWATTYBUS in-store album chart positions
by Michael 14 Sep '98

14 Sep '98

>I don't really know what these charts represent but I went into Southampton >at lunchtime, to buy the new Tindersticks singles/rarities compilation, and >made a mental note of the TWATTYBUS in-store album chart positions: > >HMV - 8 >Virgin - 4 Proof that marketing does work? In Reading TwattyBus is displayed facing the front door in a big display all to itself, whereas in HMV it's just in amongst the others. If this is the same in Southhampton it could explain why it is selling better in Virgin (sorry, but as a psychologist I am fed up telling people advertising does work, so I jump on any proof I can). Whilst I'm here, I've noticed talk about list crushes. Now, I've not met any list girls yet, so I don't have any of those. However, I do have a couple of list heroes that I'd like to thank. Firstly, Ben Ferneyhough, who let me hear Tigermilk (can I say he copied it for me on the list?), and some great sessions as well. And Kevan Cooke, who not only got me tickets for Shephard's Bush after I was too lazy to get mine in time, but also supplied the bottle of Bacardi that got me drunk on Saturday night. Cheers guys. Oh, and clam-pickers are the worst piece of female clothing since calottes (sp?). I don't think Isobelle wore them in London, but then I thought she was pretty sexy so probably wouldn't have noticed.
