Sinister: cheers from Barcelona
by rafa pop 27 Nov '97

27 Nov '97

Hi ...my name is Rafa and I'm from Barcelona, Spain ..and I'm totally..ummm..captured ?? fascinated ?? totally in love with the Belle and Sebastian music . This is the first time I write to the list ( I subscribed to it just one week ago ). I first heard B&S one year ago in the coolest spanish radio show, called " Viaje a los Suenyos Polares " ( Journey to the Polar dreams )....and since then they've become one of my favourite bands (together with the rest of lovely scottish bands I adore, like Teenage Fanclub, The Pastels, BMX Bandits, Eugenius, The Vaselines ...what's up with Scotland ?? something great ,sure ...) Two months ago we were so lucky to see B&S playing a free show here in Barcelona. The place was so appropiate for them, the front of an old church in the Gothic part of Barcelona. Before B&S there was a trembling concert by The Magnetic Fields (another unique band ), and then ...well ..the B&S show was totally ...I'm not skilled enough in english to express what a unforgetable and .it was full of emotion.....the place ..and mainly..the MUSIC...all of the audience felt in love with the band at that moment. It was a free show and ther was a lot of people in the audience who had never heard about B&S but even them were in silence and enjoying the show. It was REALLY ........pure emotion ..I could get the tracklist and I saw some guys recording the show with a video camera and since then I'm desperately looking for them all around the city to get a copy ...From that day , a lot of people here in Barcelona love them. My request is : any of you owns Tigermilk ?? I know it's totally impossible to get a copy of it but if you are so lucky to own it ......would you be so kind to record it on a tape and send it to me ?? I would send you back something..I own If you're feeling of course ..and also the threee singles but I need to hear Tigermilk :-))) That's all ....thank you ... Rafa ...

Sinister: Everyone thought it was a shame.
by Ed Smithson 27 Nov '97

27 Nov '97

Is there anyone who will be travelling from Cumbria to Manchester to see B&S on either the 27th or the 28th? (Probably not because no-one in Cumbria will have a computer, and the chances of finding another fan in the county are negligable, but, hey it's worth a try). I've got no-one to go with because all my mates despise B&S. Ed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re: Tigermilk copies / Arab Strap
by Sarah Wheeler 27 Nov '97

Well hello there It's only common courtesy to introduce myself....I'll keep it short. I'm Sarah studying for a PhD at Glasgow Uni in ummmmmmm, oh yeh, some sciencey stuff. I've been browsing the list for sometime now without having much to say, but I think it's time to break my silence. Mick asked for an Arab Strap discography. Here's the website address for all the information you require (I hope): http://www.chemikal.demon.co.uk/hi-fi/bands/arabstrap/index.html Just to back-step slightly re: claims to fame........I snogged Aidan Moffat (Arab Strap) about 7 years ago......well it was New Year at Falkirk steeple...and it's probably not a claim to fame anyway, as pretty much all my Falkirk mates have done too!! Oh well, I have got Magnus Magnusson's autograph! Does that count? Sarah x ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I had hoped they were above all that. > >x Belle Hmm I love electronic renaissance although it certainly does split the ranks. I don't really care too much about synths or guitars either, the song's lovely and that's good enough for me, indeed I like the variety in arrangement. Indeed I'm going to spend the day listening to Kraftwerk. And David Bowie in fact. Is there something wrong? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Tigermilk copies / Arab Strap
by Miche�l O'Dwyer 27 Nov '97

27 Nov '97

Tigermilk copies ---------------- No, I'm not looking for one - I have mine already courtesy of Ben, complete with sessions and demos. So, if anybody out there wants me to make a copy, get in touch. I'm living in Sweden at the moment, so I suppose it makes sense that I'd do a copy for anybody in that vicinity. Also, I'll be back home in Ireland this weekend, so if there's any irish folk on the list that want me to send them a copy then, get in touch with me today. Do not reply to the list! I'm only on the digest, and chances are I won't see it before I leave work today (about 5pm Irish time), and so won't get time to make the tape (also, please note that there's only about 4-5 hours tonight that I can make the tapes, and each one will take 90 minutes, so in case I get a deluge of requests, I can only make tapes for the first three people. Others will have to wait until next week) Write to me at qhsmich(a)aom.ericsson.se Arab Strap ---------- While I wasn't very au fait with this band, I'd seen them being mentioned on the list a lot. I got the Hey!Fever/Girls of Summer single on Chemikal Underground yesterday. I was quite pleased to see Stuart Murdoch and Chris Geddes credited on Hey Fever, but not even that prepared me for the song itself. Let's just say that any tune that can get me to bop around my apartment at 6:30 am has to have something special going for it. My question is whether this is 'typical' Arab Strab (I love Girls of Summer too, only not quite as much)? And if so, does anybody have a discography?
