Inside is a collection of small printed cards like those that wee kids use to learn their ABC, except the featured letter on a card is the first letter of the name of one of the bands. The reverse has information about the band. B&S could adapt this sort of idea making really nice cards - they won't have to be full colour or anything - and could have info on each band member (mind you that would burst the bag!) or just things that they think are cool (or anything at all, come to think of it). The outside of the bag could have another cool picture on it. You could even have a bag that could fit in with a CD. How about a Belle & Sebastian 10" - I like 10" singles :-). I don't think Picture discs are such a good idea as sound quality generally suffers. Coloured vinyl is better, glittery bits etc. even more so. Byee!

Sinister: anything B&S
by MothrHn＠aol.com 23 Oct '97

23 Oct '97

My daughter turned me onto Belle and Sebastian with a much removed copy of Tigermilk which has now died. I am trying to find anyplace from which I can order anything B&S. I am looking for cassettes, cds, shirts, etc. Does anyone know of any mailorder or online places? Thanks for your HELP!

Pavement also played the VU's "What Goes On" as an encore in Louisville, KY this May, and then B&S played it as the encore to their first New York City show in September, where Mark Ibold was in attendance!

During the song lead singer Malkmus changed some words and sang "bells in the air/bells in the sky/belle and sebastian/I hope you don't die."

Sharply spotted, though. slightly off-topic, but connected by way of someone's suggestion for a promo-stunt (cover discs, to build up a fanbase of dedicated freeloaders), did anyone get the free Time Out CD earlier this year? It had a little number called Windsor Park by someone called Alfred which was fairly superb (though the rest of it was the usual pile of pants). If anyone knows who the christ alfred is, I'd be grateful. cheers. http://www.turns-anything.into.a-hyperlink.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re: LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT
by G R Thomas 23 Oct '97

23 Oct '97

OK kids, First of all, I'm really sorry if my message came across as a bit shouty or angry or nasty or whatever. This was never the intention and I'm sorry. Charlotte: you should have put that private mail on the list. Reading it put me right in my place: Everyone-yeah, I feel very humbled, as Charlotte pointed out that I did get the spelling wrong: bourgeoisie, not bourgoisie. Sorry. David, Italian, eh? I dunno. I thought it was French. Itdun'tmatter. Katrina, you're absolutely right about the textbook definition of something not necessarily applying to an artist/musician or whatever, and I do believe you when you said what Stuart said. Obviously you know more than I do, and Stuart can say and mean what he wants. If there has been a mistake anywhere along the line, I don't know where it has come, but perhaps there is a popular misconception (and please believe me when I say that this is not a criticism of anyone) in the 'right'/'proper' meaning of the term. Maybe, perhaps, erm I'm trying not to be nasty, er, erm... Anyway, whatever 'Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie' actually means: a) we can draw our own conclusions from the song (and I also reckon that *all* the definitions and stories that have appeared on the list are going some way to getting to an explanation) and b) I love Belle and Sebastian, and so by the looks of things do quite a number of other people. Respect to each and everyone on this marvellous list. Again, I'm sorry (it was a rush of blood or summut) Love, GIDEONxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: re : B&s in dublin
by ibarrett＠thorung.eeng.dcu.ie 23 Oct '97

I'm new to this list having met the band thru uk-indie and last friday I managed to get the last copy of '3,6,9 seconds of light' in Virgin Megastore on Ashton quay , the same place I purchased the previous eps and the album. They never had a large amount of them in stock though. Sometimes I think i'm the only fan in ireland. cheers Ian Barrett ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: pop promo ponderings
by mahmed＠meto.gov.uk 23 Oct '97

23 Oct '97

If you want B&S to have maximum crossover appeal and reach out to potential fans, then I suggest getting their songs onto casettes and cds given away with music magazines from time to time. That's how I discovered Teenage Fanclub and PJ Harvey through the freebie casettes from Select magazine. What do you think? You can have them on 5 track compilation called "Stars of '97" for the NME/MM/Select/Vox. Then you can reach the mature audience with a B&S song on a cd compilation for Q/Mojo sandwiched between Alanis Morrisette and John Hiatt. Don't forget the drum'n'bass "temple of boom" mix by Goldie for Musik/Mixmag. I'm not sure how to approach the heavy metal crowd.
