Sinister: Problem w/ rereleasing Tigermilk on Singles

Over the course of a year, everyone who wants it will have it in its entirety; and it'll still be somewhat obscure because it'll be "b-sides." I reply: The problem with this is that an LP is so incredibly different in concept to a single. They aren't just "collections of songs". Tigermilk flows brilliantly from song to song and each has it's place and order (that's one reason I find it to be such an incredible album). Singles are sort of the same but I guess less so (a sides can kind of be different to b sides). But still, when a band makes a release, I'm sure they agonize over what songs to put on and where.

Sinister: bass lines and other crap
by Alan 25 Oct '97

25 Oct '97

hello, has anyone noticed the similarity between the bass line in "electronic renaissance" and the bass line in New order's "procession" ? Funny that... Oh, and the bridge type thing at the end of "photo jenny" reminds me Glen Campbell's "witchita lineman"... does anyone feel like putting a b and s tribute band together...i play guitar and can sing like a drunken seal...who plays bass? drums? stylophone? we could call ourselves "laverne and shirley" or something, and play reggae versions...erm...i'll stop now thank you, alan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: you crazy critters
by mctag＠mcmail.com 25 Oct '97

25 Oct '97

I don't know what to make of all this. As a new arrival to the list, I'm slightly bemused by all this heated political debate on the subject. Surely, a little patience is required, I'm confident it'll come out in its entirety in one place, no crazy bsides, extra CDs for the select few. I have a certain degree of faith in the group. All this fuckin elitism about how it can't come out in the original sleeve, well that's for the purists only. The important thing is that we have beautiful new songs like 'Modern Rock Song' or 'Slow Graffiti' (or is it one f two t's, I can never remember) to look forward to. 'Tigermilk' is great, but we can wait... Top tens are impossible but I love their spontaneity 1 Modern Rock Song 2 Seeing other people 3 Lazy Line Painter Jane 4 Stars of Track and Field 4 Slow Graffiti 5 I could be dreaming 6 Judy and the dream of horses 7 Belle and Sebastian 8 Sleep the clock around 9 String Bean Jane 10 I don't love anyone As for ripping off bob Dylan, or whatever the pastie may mean, yeah yeah...all I know is that like the Go B's, the Pastels or hell, the Shangri-las, they're one of the few groups whose lyrics combine the astral and the apparently banal and can fit into any emotional situation the incurable romantic may find himself in. 'Seeing other people' may be a gay anthem, but it means something altogether different and altogether more personal to me. And that dear friends is their beauty....

25 Oct '97

hiya, david here from the fanclub. we just picked up the post (our weekly trek to south london) and found that we had a letter written entirely in french. we don't want to not answer just because it's in a different language, but need some help, is anyone fluent in french here? would you mind translating a double-side of A4 into english for us? if you can help then mail us back and we'll forward the letter to you (i'll never be able to e-mail it 'cos i won't be able to get all the spelling and accents correct.). thanks david kitchen. (nearly died last night when the computer fried itself again, but hey, it's working again this morning so maybe it'll be alright for a while.) PS: to all the people who offered help with the website, i'll get back to you soon, it's just that my inbox if suffering a bit at the 'mo, to everyone else, don't stop mailing us, we will get through it all! -- ******************************************************************** http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/Belleandsebastian.htm mailto:bluesoda@totalweb.co.uk ******************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: promo thingies
by artyfartystudent＠juno.com 25 Oct '97

25 Oct '97

i think a good idea would be paper dolls. you know, an extra cardboard insert (with the 12" and a smaller version with the CD)...especially if the paper dolls were different. see, cos then i'd have to buy them both. and of course i would never cut them out! it's like the concept behind the sergeant's badge and fake moustache included in the original issue of the beatles' "sergeant pepper's lonely hearts club band" album. perhaps you should just double pack it with a photograph, extra track and a tacky badge. :) michelle ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Rereleasing Tigermilk
by Aadam <curator-House Of Precarious Stacks> 24 Oct '97

Frankly I'm sick 'n' tired of hearing about it, but I have to add my idea anyway. Why not rerelease it three songs at a time on CDsingles and 12"s? Over the course of a year, everyone who wants it will have it in its entirety; and it'll still be somewhat obscure because it'll be "b-sides."
