It was indeed "..elvis" -- He read the words from a notebook and I didn't hear much of it due to sitting directly behind Stevie's amp. On another recent topic: I am the parent at our house (sigh). My son and I first heard "Sinister" at the same time and both loved it. I probably bought it first--having more disposable income-- but we each own everything that has come out thus far (except the fabled Tigermilk of course -- altho' I believe he has arranged to get a tape). He was kind enough to bring me to the PBS taping, (which was probably smart of him because who else would have been able to get him excused from school for it). Surprisingly, while we might disagree from time to time, we rarely hate each other's musical tastes, which has been pretty nice all in all -- music has given us something to do together as he has grown up. I have to say I'd rather go to shows with him than with most of my friends, who rarely want to go anyway. He started out being a captive to my taste, and then began contributing to mine as he started listening seriously and needed me along to get into shows. Now he can go on his own. I usually decline his invitations to come along as the crowds are much younger than I, and I often feel out of place. That's one wonderful thing about B&S: the music transcends age. Everyone can love it because it is beautiful and universal. Anyhow, this parent loves Belle & Sebastian and will now pretty much go back to lurking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: milk o' the tiger
by superbob 19 Sep '97

alright. here's the deal. my dad is one of those computer guru types who has all this stuff that i know nothing about. so he informs me that he has a "cd burner" that can record onto a cd. fancy that. he said he could hook it up to something or other and i could record vinyl or anything i want onto a blank cd. so here's my offer. blank cds cost about 10-12 us dollars a piece (so he says)...if anyone wants to record me a very good quality copy of tigermilk, from the original, not a dub of a dub, and mail it to me so i can get me a copy on cd, then in return i will record you a copy onto cd as well at no charge and then mail it back to you at my expense. all you would pay is price of the blank tape and a stamp to get it to me. (maxell XL2). if anyone would like to take me up on this, please let me know. on another note...i received "dog on wheels" today (thanks to secretsounds)...i love it. it is better all around than the lazy line painter one. i've listened to it already about 10 times. -brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

RE:Sinister: B&S and Indie Nights

Keith Watson recently wrote: >And regarding Indie Clubs - Paul plays B+S regularly at the Egg in Edinburgh and I wouldn't >say there's any sort of "clearing of the dancefloor", good laugh. Thanks for the mention - We do try! I almost played Judy and the Dream of Horses last week - a long standing fanatical request - but I chickened out yet again as I don't think some of our punters (The '60s psych types actually) could handle the somewhat relaxed intro. >John Stuart wrote (sorry, I didn't save the message) >that his girlfriend had danced to B&S in some Edinburgh indie club. Would that have been at The EGG? only I can't imagine FBI or EVOL('Shine'-style Indie Superclubs) spinning B&S at all. O.K. maybe when Dog on Wheels came out - and then only the title track - its not snobbery on my part, since playing any other B&S would normally be commercial suicide knowing their playlists and customer base. Maybe its another symptom of B&S going overground! - I'll prepare to be corrected and amazed on this point. By the way, if anyone wants tapes of any Felt stuff you could drop me a line. I've got just about everything bar the first single (which probably came out when I was about 10 yrs old!). No Tigermilk from me unfortunately.

Sinister: I'm new to the list...
by Amanda Bergman 18 Sep '97

18 Sep '97

but so far I'm impressed by the volume of postings. I was lucky enough to catch B&S at their last show in New York, and they were incredibly wonderful live performers (though I heard from friends that they didn't sound nearly as good at the W 54th sessions or the CMJ show). Presently I am on the hunt for the sundry EPs that are circulating, though my search has been fruitless thus far. I do have _If You're Feeling Sinister_, though, and I adore it. One final note...I would love to obtain a dupe of _Tigermilk_, if anyone's able and willing to provide one. If so, please email me directly. Thanks! --Amanda ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: RE: B&S in Edinburgh Clubs

>You should come along to the egg John, I was there with Ian Jackson last week who >just turned up out of the blue, come out for a drink beforehand, I'm going to give Ian a >ring some time, perhaps next week Just after I sent my last email, Ian came into my room and said that I should go to Egg with him sometime. He also filled me in on were & when it is and what music it plays. So, it sounds great. I'll look forward to it. On another subject, did everybody here that Mark & Lard are being kicked off the Breakfast Show and will now take over the 2 til 4 in the afternoon slot. To put salt in the wound, they are being replaced by Kevin Greening and Zoe Ball. A travesty, I think you'll agree. John S. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Radcliffe/Greening

To put salt in the wound, they are being replaced by Kevin Greening >and Zoe Ball. A travesty, I think you'll agree. I'm not sure I agree with you on that one. Kevin Greening is a lot funnier in the mornings, Radcliffe has gone downhill so much since he did late nights. Hopefully if he's under less pressure he might not worry as much about minding what he says, because he's at his best when he's slagging people off. Not sure about Zoe Ball though. Any idea if anyone else is moving shows? Stuart G > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
