Last night I met a boy, Rory, who's friends with Stuart Murdoch. They went to School together, only Rory was in the year above Stuart. He has a copy of tigermilk, so that's one more in Glasgow somewhere. We talked about the value of the record now, and he was saying that at the tigermilk launch at CaVa copies were being given away, and loads of them were left lying on the floor and being trodden on, because everyone there had one. Why I oughta��. How many does that count for? Christopher Leonard (Nimmoy) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Copy of Tigermilk
by totv 05 Nov '97

05 Nov '97

I've got a copy of Tigermilk because I wrote to Electric Honey and asked for one and said that I would try and mention it on a TV programme I was working on. It never arrived (so it was never mentioned) and I left the company. Electric Honey eventually sent the record but no one knew what it was. It was still in the office when I returned 6 months later and now it is in my record collection at home. It is my favourite B and S record - I like funny little stories in songs. They will never again have that lovely innocence and almost surprised wonder of their own ability. The cover is really brilliant aswell. By the way, and I hope nobody minds me mentioning this, but the programme I was working on was called The Adam and Joe Show and the second series returns on November 22nd 11.00pm on Channel 4. Its really funny and Adam likes Belle and Sebastian, especially 'Expectations' and puts it on all his compilation tapes.

Sinister: Younger people on the list
by Keith Watson 05 Nov '97

05 Nov '97

It appears that everyone on the list aged around 16-18 is apologizing for being young! Why? I shouldn't worry about it, I liked it when I was younger. I still like it now, I wouldn't worry about being young, anyone giving you a slagging for not being "knowledgable" enough about topics discussed has their own problems.

Sinister: TIGERMILK REGISTER - John Peel's copy
by rcoleman＠husky.co.uk 05 Nov '97

05 Nov '97

Magnificent munificent magister of modern music JOHN PEEL, was, in his twentyninth year of sterling service at BBC Radio 1, a recipient of an original Tigermilk plate. Presumably the band mailed it to him (Katrina will know). And then fellow Radio1 DJ Mark Radcliffe charmed the LP away from him, and carried it off to Manchester. When Peel compiled the annual Festive Fifty (a compilation of the fifty most popular tracks of the year in the opinion of 'Peel Show' listeners) in December 1996, the Tigermilk track 'The State I am In' was good for number 28. In order to play the track for the benefit of inveterate Festive Fifty tapers like me, he had to have Radcliffe's people supply a DAT of the song. And he stomped all over its gentle intro with an horrendous jingle. Manual mishaps are a mark of the man. God bless -Rod, 'older than he looks, alright' reads Beckett, S.: 'Mercier et Camier' ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

RE: Sinister: Sarapalooza
by Keith Watson 05 Nov '97

So for all those people bemused by the mentions of Sarah records, don't think you're missing out too much. Belle and Sebastian aren't the logical progression of Sarah. I don't even see them as an indie band, indie is a lonely place where the catalogue number is mightier than the melody. Ultimately these songs make me catch my breath and give me the same rush as 'Disney Girls', a girl group weepie, a Northern Soul stomper, or anything written by Serge Gainsbourg or Robert Forster, something that a million Gentle Despites with a million typewriters could never do in a million years. Just my opinion... [Keith Watson] I'd be highly inclined to agree with you, I really don't see Belle and Sebastian as anything to do with that sort of stuff, which in my opinion seems to value status rather than substance, although I suspect some members of the band do see it that way, whereas I know others don't (Chris in particular).

Re: Sinister: Sarapalooza? Pah....
by barzy＠3nets.com 05 Nov '97

I agree totally with all The Duke said......It's not the cappin' on the Sarah bands that ersed me off....I didn't like alot of the last batch...i.e. Shelley, Ivy, Aberdeen.....(yes, I was in aberdeen...and if I wasn't I probably would have thought it shite.) but it's the dissin of the Sarah *feeling* and the whole motive behind it that got me...I wasn't defending it cause I was in some stupid Sarah band, and I resent the (few) messages I got implying so.....Matt and Clare were so fucking influential they should get nothing but praise....If a select wankers took it the wrong way.....Oh well. So i'm p.d.antric. or...whatever. Sometimes i'm even p.d.heaton....Tra la la. So my point...It's the whole deal I was backing, not the last 90 or 100 or whatever releases. No need to insult our cherries or fringe or Ricks. NYA. Tho...I don't really concider myself part of "Sarah Records" really...I just rode along on the wake for awhile ...But it was/is my favourite label, and honestly....i've not been as so desparately in love with a band (like I am with Belle & Sebastian) since...So perhaps there IS some connetion...I'd defend Belle & Sebastian to the death as well......don't get me wrong...but hey....the kids seem to be kicking enough ass on their own. Just remember when you're running your bigshot, bully mouths....about how crap and forced Sarah was... you're talking bout my g...g......gen er a tion. beth ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Register
by Annie 05 Nov '97

05 Nov '97

Well I have been lurking around this list for quite awhile... I figure this register business will (maybe) motivate me to start posting. name: annie age: 17. yes I know very young. I'm not even in university yet. ha. location: washington dc. home to the dreaded fugazi and psuedo-situationists the make*up in addition to various monuments. misc: I do not own Tigermilk or the newest ep, am having severe trouble thinking of a meaningful event in my life to write for college apps. yeah yeah the old story. my claim to fame: I was once yelled at by N**l Gallagher. not too exciting, but it's certainly an amusing story to tell. anyway, I will stop wasting precious electrons here. -annie
