Sinister: Today at last!
by Keith Watson 13 Oct '97

13 Oct '97

Cool, today I can finally go out and buy the new EP. That ought to keep me happy at work for the next 6 years or so... Bought the Suede B sides collection in Saturday, just to say that I'd heartily recommend it to anyone, put it this way, I've got virtually all (original Suede) B sides anyway, and figured it was well worth shelling out for this record just so's I could listen to them all together, and more often. The B sides I would say, at least for the "Bernard Butler Years" were definitely better than the actual album tracks. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Jobs, jobs
by Skreddy56＠aol.com 11 Oct '97

11 Oct '97

Just coming home from my boring job, I was wondering... does anyone in Belle and Sebastian have a job outside the band? I'd guess that they did a short time ago, but recently stopped (since they're doing some more extensive touring). Also, has anyone heard the Mike Johnson album? He's Dinosaur Jr's bassist, but it's a lot calmer than they are. --Matt ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Paris Gig
by David & Katrina 11 Oct '97

11 Oct '97

Sorry guys, but the Paris gig as we know it is no longer. The band still want to play Paris, and will probably do so at a later date in November at a different venue (the promoter has suggested an old Jazz Club), but the gig on November 10th at La Fleche D'Or (or whatever it was called) is now officially cancelled. The reason being is that the promoters were not going to pay a penny towards the gig, as it was supposed to be a part of Les Inrockuptibles Festival for which they have already used up all the budget on the other bands, and therefore Delabel and later on the band would end up by paying for the gig... ...which isn't really fair, so they've cancelled and i'll tell you what's happening as soon as we know it. (this is supposed to be a Jeepster post, but i'm not a work so it's a David & Katrina one ... sorry. please send all evil, nasty replies to me at jeepster.uk(a)virgin.net ) SORRY :( Cheers, Katrina. -- ******************************************************************** http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/Belleandsebastian.htm mailto:bluesoda@totalweb.co.uk ******************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Hark when the night is falling...
by Iain Meakin 11 Oct '97

11 Oct '97

COME ON SCOTLAND !!!!! Hark when the night is falling I hear the pipes are calling Loudly and proudly calling Down thro' the glen. There where the hills are sleeping Now feel the blood a-leaping High as the spirits of The old Highland men. Towering in gallant fame Scotland my mountain hame High may your proud standards Gloriously wave. Land of my high endeavour Land of the shining silver Land of my heart forever Scotland the Brave. High in the misty Highlands Out by the purple islands Brave are the hearts that beat Beneath Scottish skies. Wild are the winds to meet you Staunch are the friends that greet you Kind as the love that shines From fair maidens eyes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: re: fanzine interviews
by Andrew Dean 10 Oct '97

10 Oct '97

well, people were asking about these and i have a copy of matt n's fanzine and permission to include it on the web site, i just haven't had the time to transcribe it... sometime soon though. (i'd also been a bit dubious about doing it as i thought matt would rather sell people copies than have them read the juicy parts on the web but it turns out he's now out of copies so...) and if anyone has another interviews they'd like to share (the village voice one would be nice, and the new yorker) then just send them here and i'll put them up somewhere. andy andrew.dean(a)bull.net shuddering at the thought of tinky winky goose-stepping. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Rough Guide entry
by oc245d8aff＠colon.net 10 Oct '97

10 Oct '97

This is designed to set the ball rolling.... The meek might not inherit the earth, but Belle and Sebastian will be sitting there quietly until the very last vote is counted. Their songs are snapshots of the twilight autumnal teatime of the soul, populated by perverted vicars, lovelorn school kids, Sid James and a brussel sprout called Elvis. Eight people make up Belle and Sebastian. They are Stuart "Stewpot" Murdoch, an ex-amateur boxer with lyrical hotline to the emotionally orphaned; Chris Geddes, the alarming result of an LSD drenched sexual union between Rick Wakeman and Worzel Gummidge; Sarah Martin, a roller-skating stylophone, xylophone and telephone whizz; Isobel Campbell, a one-woman string quartet and tambourine thumper; Stuart David, paving the way with his monolithic bass foundation shakers; Stevie Jackson, whose delicate guitar runs recall Mike Oldfield at his best; Mick Cooke; trumpet vounteer with the patience of a saint, and last but not least, Richard Colburn, extended drum solos made to measure. They met over butterfly cakes and tea at a church hall fund raising function. Only 1000 copies were pressed of their debut album, "Tigermilk". It namechecked Funkadelic and The Velvet Underground, but managed to avoid sounding like either. The lyrical pivot was "do something pretty while you can". The follow-up LP, "If You're Feeling Sinister" showed a wider public that the group had lost none of their charm or quirkiness, but were maturing into a tight group that packed a "get yer boots on" punch when necessary. Sporadic live appearances delighted the devoted and infuriated some non-believers. Oasis conquered Knebworth, Belle and Sebastian's Kelvingrove Park festival disappeared in the Glasgow drizzle. Poetic justice. Three EPs followed, increasing in competence and confidence. A trip to New York earned the band favourable reviews in staid publications such as The New York Times and the legendary New Yorker magazine. A triumphal concert in a medieval square in Barcelona was a fitting climax to a hazy summer for Belle and Sebastian. Record company interest is said to be at a high level, with rumours of a Terry Thomas vintage car chase across Europe in search of the near mythical "Tigermilk" mastertapes. Records. If You're Feeling Sinister LP (Jeepster) A treat for jaded ears. Vicars base sermons around it. 3, 6, 9 Seconds of Light EP (Jeepster) Gentle and rollicking in equal amounts. Good for the soul. That's it. Anything to add, delete, whatever? Anybody else going to have a go? Forgive me if 36 entries have already arrived this morning, I am now a digestive member of the list. But I have a feeling I'll be changing back sooner or later. Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
