I need advice because >my bank account dictates that I can't be quite as cavalier in my record >purchasing as I would like! The same thing happened to me. I was browsing in Virgin, Edinburgh and spotted Kelvingrove Baby. I decided to buy it because a) They supported B&S and b) The girl on the cover was so beautiful. I was sure the music would be just a beautiful as her, even though I'd never heard the band before. It was a pretty stupid thing to do but I was not disappointed. So yeah, I would recommend Kelvingrove Baby. Duke very kindly sent me another one of there CD�s. I haven�t had much time to listen to it, but it does not sound as good as KB.

Finding a job where they don't mind your hair/clothes will be a relative piece of cake. Try finding a job where you only have to do nine hours a week!

..And yet another closet sciver emerges from the closet - when feeling particularly lacklustre in the office, and when there are no B&S messages to while away the hours, I have a beachball which provides me with infinite entertainment. Sadly I don't have a basketball net, or a beach for that matter, but I can now do about 40 keepie-uppies. [Keith Watson] Oh... we've got a beach ball, so we place the bins at opposite ends of the office and attempt to lob it back and forth into the bins to amuse ourselves for about an hour. Belle and Sebastian might like beach balls - quite a number of them definitely have balls. Keith ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: B&S Sinister name
by Paul Forsyth 07 Oct '97

07 Oct '97

Hi, Since I've just posted a non-B&S related mail, heres something more relevant... This is a question that doesn't really mean much and doesn't really have to. I'm only curious because of a debate going on in a fav comic of mine. When the new B&S album comes out will this mailing list keep the same name? The comic? 2000AD. Will it change in a few years, what to, does it need to? Does this question really need to be answered? B.T.W does anyone know anything about the upcoming B&S gigs in Manchester around December? Please!

Sinister: Gainsbourg concerts/Kelvingrove Park
by Chris Leonard 07 Oct '97

07 Oct '97

>And speaking of Serge, am I right in thinking that various B&S members >were recently involved in a couple of evenings in tribute to the good >man Gainsbourg earlier this year? If my somewhat dubious memory serves >me right, they played in Glasgow and Stirling with other BMX Bandits, >Pearlfishers, etc. Yes, your quite right. I tried to get into the Glasgow show at the Cottier, but it was sold out by the time I got there, cos I didn't have a ticket, cos I'm stupid. I overheard people in the street saying it wasn't to hot, but does anyone know better? Please share... This was the week before the big free B&S gig in Kelvingrove park which was moved to the QM (hip kids union at Glasgow Uni) because it was very rainy indeed. Were the Bathers the band on immediately before B&S? No hold on that was the Pastels. Were the Bathers the band on immediately before the Pastels? If it was I remember a lady drummer. I'm probably thinking of the wrong band. They were very polished and reminded me of the Incredible String Band (joking). What do we think of B&S as a live band? from Chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Whoa, whoa, whoa...Judy Blume "wasn't a great literary figure?" are you dosed? Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great changed my pre-teen life! I think her collection of books was seminal in any girl living in the US (I can't speak for abroad) in the early-to-mid-80s. Was "Then Again Maybe I Won't" as big a deal for guys? Anyway...I haven't heard the new EP, but I just wanted to step in in Judy's defense. P ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: belle & sebastian
by MNOL1 06 Oct '97

06 Oct '97

For all Belle & Sebastian lovers, This is my first ever letter to this list, so if you dont read it I will be very unhappy. A BIT ABOUT MYSELF - I am a university student in Melbourne, Australia studying English (fiction writing and children's literature) and Psychology. HOW I HEARD ABOUT B & S - Whilst reading an English music magazine in January I saw a review of Sinister and liked the description of the music and the name of the band. About 6 months later I was looking through the 'B' section of a music import store and stumbled upon the album, even though I had never heard any B & S I had an impulse to buy it, so I did, fell in love on the first listen and have no desire to scale down the relationship. FAVOURITE SONGS are "Seeing Other People", "Fox in the Snow" and "Belle and Sebastian". What I really love about B & S is the atmosphere of the music and the imagery that goes along with it. When I listen to the songs they mean something, they can live on their own, and they have a specific voice - or feeling - or an atmosphere. I think of relationships, life, country. I think of young, deep, dreaming, sad, happy. I picture the songs in my mind and they seem so there, and real and alive. I dont know if I explained that very well but that is why i like B & S. Other music I like includes Saint Etienne, Suede, Smiths, Sinead O'Connor, Nick Cave, Pulp, Placebo, Tricky and (at the risk of being struck off the list), I love BiS. PROFILE OF B & S IN AUSTRALIA is practically nil. I have never heard any of their music anywhere - on TV or radio. I have never seen a print article, except for one good review of Dog on Wheels in a small alternative magazine. However, IYFSinister is just now appearing in shops after being given a local release and hopefully all this will change. But Australia being Australia I am not expecting enough exposure to prompt a tour. I have been reading the mail on this list for a couple of weeks now and enjoying it immensely. This site is the only way I can keep up to date with what is happening in B & S world. ************************************************************************* * * FINALLY (hoping that youve read this far) I wish to make a plea. * * please please please please please please please please please, * * could someone dub me a copy of TIGERMILK? I will send a tape and * a stamped return envelope and a dub of any music I have which you may * want. * * please please please please please please please please please * ************************************************************************* I know everyone must be sick of this request every time someone new subscribes but I am desperate and will do anything. Thank-you for listening to me rave. Please feel free to contact me at the following address for any reason; mnol(a)student.monash.edu.au Marcus ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
