Sinister: B&S in Mojo magazine
by susannah 23 Dec '97

23 Dec '97

Urm, B&S are in Mojo magazine this month. Nothing really that you haven't heard already, a couple of quotes from Stuart David and Chris, but girls there's a luvverly pic of Stuart Murdoch , which brings me to my next query after the gay Stuart rumour has finally been cleared up, and that is: "Is Stuart Ginger?" Having not seen them live yet, I have to rely on a few dodgy photos, and judging by the pic in Mojo, he definitely looks it , but could just be the lighting.... Furthermore in the same mag, various 'pop stars' pick 'the best thing they've heard all year' and Ian Broudie says: "I don't know when it came out, I only bought it recently-but the thing thats really struck me this year is Belle & Sebastians CD, IYFS. I'd heard odd tracks, singles here and there , which I'd really liked, and now I've bought it and I think its a fantastic record. I love the whole feel, and the lyrics are incredibly good. Theres a lot of stuff in there, I hear a lot of the Velvet Underground in it in a funny way. Its really weird, because they're obviously a young band, but it is really a quality production." and there you go... susannah xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I'm not 'cause I took my leave of Manchester and sailed for the new world and now I'm utterly dejected as B&S at the Town Hall is probably the most exciting thing to happen in Manchester in years and I'm stuck in some godforsaken vacuum with only the wonders of this modern communications thingy to taunt me with tales of people having fun and meeting up and all trotting off to see B&S merrily together, one big bundle of joy. You didn't really want to know who wasn't going - did you? I'm sorry. Have fun in Manchester you lucky people, Love...John PS As this is my first mail on this B&S list thing, is it customary to introduce yourself? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Hey Macarina!
by mctag＠mcmail.com 22 Dec '97

Hello you, I've had one or two people asking how much it is to get into the aftershow on Saturday cos it came out as gibberish on their email. Actually it's changed, we've slashed our prices. It's one pound and fifty pence. If that comes out as gibberish I suggest you buy a new PC. I am kind of curious to see how many people are going to come. Could you tell me if you are? I think I forgot to mention it's open til 2 to 2.30. And dancing is mandatory cos you know what Hugh will do if you don't. As for the Virgin Wanderers - Saint Lucy eats men like them for breakfast, then spits them out and leaves them sobbing on the doorstep, unable to walk for a week. Some never recover. She is a modern day Myra Breckinridge (or however you spell it) and shows NO mercy. So be warned. Love Tag xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Xmas and Books etc and 0161 in the area
by Simon Gooch 22 Dec '97

22 Dec '97

Happy Xmas one and all. Right, that over with. Someone asked what books i'd but B&S for Xmas. Answer: dunno been too damn busy to think at work. Oh well. Cheers to the nice young lady (who D&K think may have been Susannah) for spotting me and saying hi. Sorry I was too busy to have more than a couple of brief words. We may have some spare Sunday tickets, but we'll only know on the day as friends of a friend who live in the rainy city are supposed to be coming. But, y'know. We may have a one or two spare (we'll let David and KAtrina know the score). If anyone is truly stuck for a place to stay we may be able to help out. But again, it'll be kinda difficult till Saturday as a) it's not my house and b) I'm going to Norfolk for a few days so I won't be contactable via email. See you in the pub at 5pm in my dufflecoat and flares... Simon -- *** Luv, hugs and kisses from Simon *** (aka Chipper!

Sinister: Manchester Meet-up
by Katrina＠Jeepster 22 Dec '97

22 Dec '97

Alright, after much deliberation, we decided upon the pub venue for the Meet-up, so here's the details ... Saturday 27th December 1997 The Square Albert Pub 14 Albert Square Manchester (durrr ...!) M2 5PF and at 5pm the celebrations begin! If we can all meet in the upstairs part of the pub, wear your t-shirts/patch badges/album covers if you don't have any of the other stuff and we can finally put faces to the names ... hmm, wondering if St. Lucie will be there? Malcolm (the lovely man i spoke to at the pub) said they have a CD player rather than a jukebox, so if we be extra specially nice and friendly, we may even be able to play some cd's whilst there. I've already sent him some B&S, so let's hope he likes it! David and I may not be able to make it to anything on the Sunday arvo, due to the matinee, but I think that if we kind of arrange a Sunday meeting for the Sunday people same time, same place, those of us going tio the matinee also have somewhere to hang out before the evning show begins! Whaddya think? David & I shall be wearing face masks made out of the posters from the "3..6..9..." EP cover (obviously him Stuart and me the un-named girlie), so please, look twice if you think you spy Stuart, as it will probably just be David. Seriously though, don't be scared to introduce yourselves to as many people as possible, and if you can't catch D&I at the meet-up's or the aftershow, we'll be behind the merchandise stall for all three gigs, so say hi there! SEE YOU ALL THEN! Merry Christmas Everyone ... Lotsa love and festive wishes, Katrina & David. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

None

Is my mail program up the shoot, or were their only three mails over the weekend? Very odd. Maybe it's all the students taking their washing home for the winter Anyway: the Ivor Cutler competition. Another bumper bag of entries, of which four people got the answers right. Ivor Cutler played Buster Bloodvessel in Magical Mystery Tour. Ivor the Engine's scaly friend was Idris the Dragon. And Idris was a cracking singer in the church choir, a talent which spookily enough gives us some tangential B&S content. I took the four correct winners, popped them in the Poetry Society chapeau and picked one lucky recipient of the Ivor Cutler CD. And the winner was. (drum roll). Peter Miller!!!! Congratulations, Windy! If you send me your address, maybe the CD will get to you before the New Year.
