Sinister: B&S/Bis in America

If you play that often, you automatically become that less special. When Belle & Sebastian came over it was all rather "exclusive" except for the Sunday nite show. There was more mystery about them. --kelso NYC ============================================ "First time with a jaw you find everyone lies." --morrissey-- ============================================ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Chart Position
by Chat-a-rama 20 Oct '97

20 Oct '97

So chatting with a local record, spot who at first told me the only way I was going to get a copy of If You're was to import it cross the ocean for $$$ , they found a promo copy and I got it for cheap. I believe promos are 'cut' on the cd-case edge, right? I assume so, since mine is. I am asking then.. any advice how to get the EPs on this continent, in this nation (anyone on this side willing to copy Tigermilk?) Plus, is there any difference from the promo to the 'official' release. it looks the same (as far as I can tell from the websites and such...) Curious, Matthew ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: in case you were wondering...
by Simon Tyers 20 Oct '97

20 Oct '97

I bought 369SOL from AG Kemble in Wigston (actually a TV and video sales place,but they've got an excellent selection of stuff along one wall.) I doubt even the Leicester clientele have heard of it,but then that's the musical service you get in Leicestershire's outposts. I'll shut up now. Actually,no I won't. Has anyone got any stuff relating to Scarfo that they can send me for a Scarfo site I'm doing? Simon Tyers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: it's getting better
by Johnston, John CT 20 Oct '97

20 Oct '97

Interesting to see all the top tens that have been comming in. I think mine would begin with "The State I am in" and end with "Tigermilk". I've only heard Tigermilk (the track) once , at the concert in Oxford, and was totally blown away. It was such a rocking number and just a joy to be near. And that's what I really remember about that gig at the Zodiac; how it was the first time that I'd ever seen a band where I instantly liked the songs I hadn't heard before as much or even more than the songs I adored already. So I agree with Katrina: "unlike many other bands, B&S's stuff just gets better and better " Hooray! Number 2 in my own private hit parade would be Expectations. Have they ever played it live because both times I've seen 'em they didn't? hot love xx john ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re[2]: Sinister: the voice of pessimism...

me: << oh, and on ceefax this morning i noticed a list of bands on this week's totp and b&s weren't there. can't remember who exactly were playing but jayne middlemarch (or whatever) was presenting. um, ceefax page 560 something for details (565 i think), it's a sub page of the chart rundown. >> mike (and katrina elsewhere) >Surely they'd be on NEXT weeks TOTP. I can't remember TOTP >having a "new releases" section as such. yes, yes, yes, yes, i'm a fool (like you all need reminding...). i realised this on my way home on friday night and felt stupid all weekend. went out on saturday to buy another copy for another american and couldn't find one. the 5 copies the local shop had sold out in less than a day. does this mean they will order 10 of the next single? i doubt it very much. congrats on reaching number 32 btw. only 6 places behind rolf harris... (sarah could get some stylophone playing hints off the master himself if they're both on totp next week). andy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

by Simon Tyers 20 Oct '97

> > wow - so they've really made it to TOTP (we pray) > it couldn't have happened to a nicer band And you think B&S would agree to appear on TOTP? Still,they might make daytime MTV... Did you know that in the HMV singles chart it's at No.9? Simon Tyers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: TOTP
by Matthew A. Neimark 19 Oct '97

I don't think TOTP is such a big deal. Weren't Bis on TOTP with Kandy Pop? When they came to America, people didn't make nearly the fuss they did with B&S.
