Sinister: help, I've lost your address
by totv 25 Sep '97

Hello, I promised someone a dub of 'Tigermilk' he sent his address to me and I have very stupidly lost it. You lived in Northern Ireland but that is all I remember. Email me again and I will send it off straight away. I can even put the new EP on the tape which I have accidentally got hold of. Hopefully hear from you soon ROB ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: RE: 369 Seconds of Light
by plaird 25 Sep '97

25 Sep '97

>oh my God....pant....pant...I can't breathe!!!! >Someone just gave me 3..6..9.. seconds of light >if they keep getting better and better >they might just pop.... >if i don't first.. >xoxo >bethaberdork I got sent the promo CD yesterday morning and have found myself singing (well, more like mumbling) 'Le Pastie De La Bourgeosie' all day, in the oddest of places - like in B&Q while buying plaster! I'm not going to attempt to review any of it. You'll all buy it You'll all love it!! but you'll have to wait for a couple of weeks for it. (am I beginning to sound smug? I apologise - but I can't help it) I don't know if the vinyl will have it but there's a groovy little semi-accoustic number about 20 seconds after 'Put the Book Back on The Shelf' (and it's 2 and a half minutes long) Here are the lyrics: Belle & Sebastian on the Radio, Playing Songs for Children, Belle & Sebastian on the Radio, Playing Songs to Learn and Sing, (repeat) Belle & Sebastian on the Radio, and we're really sorry, for all the trouble we've caused, and all the trouble we've caused This Wee song is screaming out to be anylysed. Does it have a Pastels reference ('Songs for Children')? Mind you, on that reasoning it would have an Echo and The Bunnymen reference - not so good I think. Are they apologising for their avoidance of media relations, or for blatantly putting out quality songs which are threatening to chart. Maybe they're apologising to us for not re-releasing Tigermilk! Who knows? To any of you resident in Edinburgh (or nearabouts) this means I'll be playing at least 'A Century of Fakers' & 'Le Pastie' at The Egg on Saturday.

Sinister: Singles!
by Alex Ward 24 Sep '97

24 Sep '97

I don't understand all the fuss about getting the first 2 singles on CD. I just stopped by the shop where my friend does orders. He had both Dog and Lazy in, and said he's had no problems getting them at all. So I'm really excited now, after getting Tigermilk on monday, now more new tunes! (plus the new stereolab to boot!!!) <- non B&S material. take care -alex in califor-nI-A ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

" could someone tell me please when the new release date of the new single > e.p. or whatever it's called is. i know it got changed but i forgot. > thanks. > -brad" New EP was due to be released on 15.9.97 (if I remember correctly) titled "3,6,9 seconds of light". But my local record store state that the release is to be held back until 1.10.97. Hope this is correct! Philip ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: stuart's age / badges / new single on radio
by Andrew Dean 24 Sep '97

24 Sep '97

>>On a deeply trivial but nonetheless B&S-related side >>issue: someone said that Stuart Murdoch is 24. >As far as I'm aware, he's a lot older than that - it says >on the back of Tigermilk that he's a lot older than he >looks, Chris has also stated in interviews that he's a lot >older than the rest of them. and a lot odder 8) 28 i read somewhere although that was a while ago. which makes university in 1989 plausible. the new ink movies on the web site put chris and isobel as 20. 28 is a lot older than 20 especially when you are 20. badges: speaking of badges, there were new(ish) ones available at the cmj gig, the same as the old patch badges but only an inch in diameter (whereas the original ones were rather larger). they also came mounted on bits of card with the band and lp name on them (as the badges themselves aren't really any use as promotional items if you don't know who they pertain to). bloke in local record shop spotted my t-shirt the other day and made appreciative comments. my boss heard b&s on the radio this morning. woman presenter said it'd just arrived. 'it's shit' was his comment but i think he was winding me up, the simply red listening twit that he is. so, start hunting around those used record shops now then... oh, the thread that was headed 'matt h's comments', should it've been 'matt n's comments' or did someone post something about matt's comments on the shinkansen web page where he's disparaging about b&s? www.users.dircon.co.uk/shink or ~shink or something. andy who bought the dipsy version of the new radio times this morning. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

> And I would love to hear B&S cover Josef K's Sorry for Laughing (from > The Only Fun in Town) Which was covered by Propoganda... he added pointlessly. Of course there is already a rather tenuous connection... look at the book on the cover of Sinister! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
