Sinister: Promo ideas
by Jean-Philippe Madelaine 26 Oct '97

26 Oct '97

It's not really a promo idea but it would be great if B&S recors were available easily in France (and other countries i think). I needed one month to get LLPJ and one month an a half for Dog on wheels. And for the moment, i can't purchase 3,6,9 (but Dazza will send it to me, thanks). The radio broadcast and the magazines are very laudatory. But when you have to chosse between two different records you heared last evening on radio, you buy the one which is available in the shop. And B&S IS NOT. I just think that to allow the distribution out from UK would be a GREAT PROMO IDEA. Good evening to you all, i'm going to listen to Dog on Wheels...

Sinister: Lemurs
by R.E.W. Butler 26 Oct '97

26 Oct '97

No, there's a bit about B&S as well as the lemurs. It's only stuff that's come off other B&S sites though. Lemurs are fantastic though, loads of great pictures of them. Got to be the best lemur site on the web... If you like that sort of thing. Rob ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Thank You
by Ian MacDonald 26 Oct '97

26 Oct '97

I have just subscribed to this list. (my first) I don't know who Belle and Sebastian are , I don't know what they look like and to be honest I don't give a monkeys. But to the point, I'd just like to thank them for their music that I have recently discovered. I can pay no greater complement to them than to say I will be pursuing their back catalogue with vigour. Slange var, lads and lassies. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: School dinners
by Peter Miller and/or Arantxa Ubieta 26 Oct '97

26 Oct '97

I think the idea of performing in schools is a great one. The kids would like it, except the awkward ones at the back who hate everything, and it would give the teachers a nice rest. The band would benefit from publicity in all the local papers. At my school (a long time ago) we had a visit from a christian rock band. I was sitting in the back row with my preconceptions and along they came with a song called "Sitting in the Back Row with your Preconceptions". It was rubbish. They also took the piss out of Motorhead for being poor musicians. But the teachers had a nice rest. I'm also in favour of a "crap" towns tour. People in remote outposts are usually gagging for a bit of rock and roll. I know I am. A tour of the highlands and islands would be good too. Plenty of press coverage and a good time for all. Or village fetes or something like that. Church bazaars. Anything a bit different really. They'll be time enough for the NEC later. There's loads of arts centres as well. I'm sure the Burton Brewhouse would welcome a well-scrubbed bunch like Belle and Sebastian. Have they disappeared without trace from the only chart that counts? Nice to hear from Thailand.

Sinister: Promo Ideas - the school tour
by Mike Newman 26 Oct '97

26 Oct '97

Following on from the Duke's tour of schools, this reminded me of Heavenly doing their "Crap Towns" tour a few years back. I distinctly remember the audience at Yeovil (!) being generally younger and not the usual crowd from Bristol gigs. I wonder how many of these people were seeing their first live show? So, I nominate the Princess Hall, Burnham-on-Sea for the next B&S show. Its big, the stage is huge and its only about £70 a night to hire. The council just gave it a makeover though, so they might have to shake hands with the mayor or something...

Sinister: moments+promos

That would be rubbish cos then I'd have to spend more money buying them both, though it'd push it up the charts higher I expect. Didn't pulp do that with something, where they released a song with 4 different covers and people wouldn't know which one to buy. Belated favourite B&S moment: the 'Knife and a bikechain bit from I could be dreaming', which wasn't in anyones top ten funnily enough. Pastie could be an acronym. If I wasn't knackered I'd think of an incredibly witty and profound one, but I am...so I can't.

Sinister: My top ten
by R.E.W. Butler 25 Oct '97

25 Oct '97

I hope I haven't left this too late - it's so hard to decide, my favourite songs keep changing. Oh well, here goes... 1. The state I am in 2. We rule the school 3. Electronic Renaissance 4. The stars of track and field 5. Like Dylan in the movies 6. Modern rock song 7. Beautiful 8. My wandering days are over 9. String bean Jane 10. The fox in the snow Well, at least that is what I think at the moment - I'm sure tomorrow it'll be different... Is anyone going up to Manchester from down south (London area) for the gigs. I really want to go - have the official dates been released yet? Love, Rob ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
