Sinister: hello all
by Andy Fox 21 Oct '97

21 Oct '97

I am new to the list and pretty new to B & S as well. I have the new album and EP (the 3.6.9. one) and am wondering: what else is out there, is any of it available in the US?, and are there live tapes floating around? Any help on one of these questions is appreciated. Please email privately. Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sarah played a stylophone at the Sessions at w.54th thing. But they messed Mayfly up so badly both times they played it that it probably won't be aired. --Matt (skreddy56(a)aol.com) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Beautiful Chords
by Dazza 21 Oct '97

21 Oct '97

I'm sure some of those C#m7s are actually Emaj7s... so the intro is: A EM7 A EM7 A G#m F#m E And the verses go: A Emaj7 She lay in bed watching the colours change A Emaj7 She lay in bed watching the morning change A G#m F#m E She lay in bed watching the morning change, into green and gold A Emaj7 The doctor told her years ago that she was ill A Emaj7 The doctor told her years ago to take a pill A G#m The doctor told her years ago that she'd go blind F# if she wasn't careful etc. And the "choruses": C#m7 B They let Lisa go blind A G# The world was at her feet and she was looking down C#m7 B They let Lisa go blind A Amaj7 (?) And everyone she knew thought she was beautiful E Only slightly mental Amaj7 E Beautiful, only temperamental Amaj7 E Beautiful, only slightly mental Amaj7 Beautiful and C#m7 B A G# They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind C#m7 B They let Lisa go blind A She's looking like a queen Emaj7 A But if you knew what's going on in her life F#m B There'd be a thousand barren mothers there to talk to her Emaj7 A If you knew what's going on in her life F#m B There'd be two hundred troubled teenagers to sit with her B And talk to her E D If you knew what's going on in her life A What's going on in her life C# There would be a documentary on Radio 4 Emaj7 x7989(7) Amaj7 576655 Anyone else hear it like this? Or is it just me? I'm not sure about the chords during the trumpet solo yet... maybe tomorrow! Dazza ************ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: session at west 54th (no real news but...)
by Andrew Dean 21 Oct '97

21 Oct '97

someone sent me this: http://www.sessionsatwest54th.com which tells you when the recently recorded tv thing will be broadcast. actually the sessions listed only go up to the middle of november and there's no sign of b&s although the same person (rboge(a)ix.netcom.com) told me "December 27th". (tindersticks coming up shortly btw) also on the site is a little gadget where you can vote for which songs you want broadcast. oh, and very little mention of 'is it wicked' in these top 10s too, shame on you all. and whilst i'm here, a couple of little things: 'expectations' was played live at the sunday gig in NYC recently (someone was asking). it's the same gig where he said 'you're very quiet', 'no, we like that' (someone else was asking) and there wasn't a problem with the stylophone as such at the glasgow gig, it was the microphone that wasn't turned up. sarah noticed just before she was about to start and popped over and said something to the sound man who turned it on but it wasn't loud enough and it got drowned amongst everything else. they've not played it since (to my knowledge) which is a pity as it's a fave. oh, and manchester dates between christmas and new year's is possibly the worst idea i've heard in a while - traveling (on public transport at least) at that time of year is nothing but trouble. expensive too. and finding accomodation too, a nightmare. any news about france? it's a pity about the gig on the 10th - that would be 7th gig (and 4th country) in 364 days for me (the gig with arab strap at the borderline being last november 11th). it's just i've got to book holidays shortly... moan, moan, moan andy i'm bored. you probably are too after reading this. sorry. perhaps i should spend my time looking for other occurances of the words 'kate' and 'dornan' 8) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Beautiful.......?
by Kelso 21 Oct '97

21 Oct '97

So last nite I'm on the phone with my friend, john, at 1230 am. He suggests that we listen to the 3..6..9 ep in synch together. So we do...i get all excited about that "La Pastie..." song because the more I hear it the more I love its spaghetti western-ness and all. When "Beautiful" comes on, John gets all excited because he say that it reminds him very much of me....what I'm wondering is, is that a good thing? I mean the refrain, afterall, is: "Beautiful, only slightly mental....." Also about all this whining and wondering about the Top of the Pops....I'd love for Belle & Sebastian to getall the respect adn praise that they can, but I'm fairly certain that the program is called TOP of the Pops for a reason, and if you aren't literally the top, you aren't invited, right? You guys in the UK should consider yourself lucky that a band like Belle & Sebastian are even mentioned when discussing charts and the like. here in the US our stupid radio/record sales charts are all cluttered with talentless fools......here, check out this past weeks Top Ten singles according to Gavin, the radio trade magazine's Top 40 chart: 1 Sugar Ray "Fly" 2 Jewel "Foolish Games" 3 Matchbox 20 "Push" 4 LeAnn Rimes "How Do I Live" 5 Paula Cole "I Don't Want to Wait" 6 Boyz II Men "4 Seasons of Lonliness" 7 Backstreet Boys "Quit Playing Games With My Heart" 8 Robyn "Show Me Love" 9 Third Eye Blind "Semi-Charmed Life" 10 Sarah McLachlan "Building a Mystery" --kelso NYC ======================================================================================== "Still, I always imagined a world infinitely more glittering." --Frederick Exley-- from "A Fan's Notes" ======================================================================================== ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Belle & Sebastian on the television, singing la la la la....
by John Stuart 21 Oct '97

21 Oct '97

>The White Room actually; I bet if that was still running B&S would have >appeared by now... Yeah, I was thinking the very same thing. What about 'Later with Jules Holland'? They have a very diverse range of music on. Also, does anybody know if MTV's Hit List UK shows the Top 40 or just Top 20? >Anyone got any good B&S promo ideas for the new EP? > Outrageous, expensive, just eye-catching stuff, please mail the list! They could "do a KLF" and spray paint 'le pastie de la bourgeoisie' on Hollyrood Palace. : ) Okay, maybe not. Cheers, John. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
