Sinister: Re: B&S In Dublin
by Simon Girvan 22 Oct '97

22 Oct '97

I have just got back from a week in Dublin (I think I can still tastes the Guinness) and we spent a not inconsiderable time checking out all the record shops, and I didn't see one copy of 3,6,9... I had to wait until I got home to Cheltenham. I think they mustn't have released it there. I did manage to pick up a copy of The Corr's new album on the day of release (Friday, for some reason) there though. I thought I had got it weeks before the UK release, but in fact it was only 3 days early. Never Mind - I did get a telecom eireann phone card that I can't use over here free with it, so that obviously makes it all right.

Ah, but they were favourably reviewed on C4 Teletext (p.480+), which (a) is a much better service and (b) has much better taste, no?

Sinister: Paul Simon

> a vast crowd that includes the Beatles, the Tindersticks, Nick Drake, the >Smiths, Paul Simon, and the Lovin' Spoonful. > > Paul Simon? Where did that one come from? anyone got any thoughts? Paul Simon is a huge influence on Belle and Sebastian, and I credit this reviewer for pointing it out. Paul Simon is a storyteller, a narrator and Belle and Sebastian songs are full of narratives of a similar feel... I feel like this puts them very lyrically influenced by Paul Simon. Nick Drake's lyrics seem more full of self reflection and pictures being painted. I am sitting here listening to the new Paul Simon record, songs from his upcoming musical, "The Capeman" and some of these songs move me in exactly the same way that Belle and Sebastian does. I urge you all to drop any prejudices you may have, and give this record a listen when it comes out next month. One of my favorite moments on IYFS, is "the snow is falling" section at the end of Me and the Major which to me is more reminiscent of Paul Simon than anyone else. Of course, when you discuss artists that began recording in the mid sixties, like Bob Dylan, the Beatles, and Paul Simon, their influences are so ingrained in every thing we listen to that it does become a bit blurry. Sorry to go on and on but the timing of this post coinciding with what I was listening to spurred me on. matrix ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Top 10

My top 10: stringbean jean seeing other people don't look back (like Dylan in the movies) judy and the dream of horses the state i am in the stars of track and field dogs on wheels me and the major if your feeling sinister get me away from here I wanted "stringbean jean" to occupy positions 1-10..... Until "stringbean jean" came along, no song has had a direct impact on me since first hearing "about a girl" by Nirvana (the live version on the "sliver" single to be precise) and that was 6 years ago.

Sinister: Re: <no subject>

a vast crowd that includes the Beatles, the Tindersticks, Nick Drake, the Smiths, Paul Simon, and the Lovin' Spoonful. Paul Simon? Where did that one come from? anyone got any thoughts? Never mind this top 10 songs thing (agog though I am to hear the "winner"), perhaps we should also vote for top B&S moments. Here are five of mine: 1. the way Stuart sings "because she wanted informa-tion"... on Sinister 2. that wee voice going "I don't know!" on Photo Jenny 3. the way the melody suddenly kicks in at the beginning of The State I'm In, in a moment of unbearable beauty, and then builds and builds 4. the last cheeky line of Centuries of Elvis 5. the way you're not quite sure if Stuart will reach the high note on "washing up" in She's Losing It just a thought C ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Just kidding. Don't mean to be a jerk but I think it's sort of cheesy to name unrealesed songs in your top 10. It's certainly your decision but what's the point? Other than to let other people know that you have them and they don't. I have a tape with unreleased tracks too but that doesn't mean I'm a bigger fan it just makes me lucky. So here's my "all's fair in love and domesticity top 10 [Keith Watson] Ha ha - agreed... I can't really see any other reason that "Pocketbook Angel" would be in anyone's top ten. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
