Sinister: newbie B&S stuff
by todd 13 Jan '98

13 Jan '98

First things first... I am new to the B&S list, subscribe to the digest form, and have been loving IYFS for about six months. I am into many many other bands who I won't bore you with listing here, but I will slide in Pulp because I think many from lipgloss are on this as well. So my cliched, yet important- to -me -so- don't -slam me -'cos- I- need -to -know questions: Is 'Tigermilk' going to be re-released as I have heard? If not, could somebody make me a copy? What was the talk of posters? Is there an IYFS poster available? I would love to frame it, as I consider it a work of art. weell....thats all for now. thanks todd ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Bootlegging from Vinyl
by Matthew A. Neimark 13 Jan '98

13 Jan '98

I remember how angry I was last autumn when this whole bootlegging Tigermilk thingy started. Parachute wanted a CDROM so he could listen to Tigermilk. Jeepster reponded (with a great lack of political couth in my humble opinion) threatening legal action against anyone who tried to produce a CD copy which in a way was strange because Jeepster does not even own the recording. Since then, I have come to be more sympathetic to the Jeepster side as comes to bootlegs. I mean, it's just not right for someone to be stealing their bit of intellectual property and amassing huge profits as a result. Further, just to comfort B&S and/or Jeepster, CD's mass produced from a Vinyl source would be inferior to those from the Master Tape unless a great deal of money was spent trying to digitally remaster the sound. Also, cateran on chat made it known that Cdroms, played on a regual CD player which lack the ability to oversample them, sound noticeably infererior (if one is an audiophile). Now that doesn't mean that someone trying to make money wouldn't be able to peddle these inferior products making and making appreciable profit. Frankly though, I don't think Jeester, Electric Honey, or Belle and Sebastian would be able to do anything to stop it. In effect, the only thing protecting Belle and Sebastian right now is their relative obscurity. However, it's really unfair to unleash that kind of anger we saw last fall on list members. We are their biggest fans. We're the ones who enjoy most listening to their music. We are the ones who proselytize their music to the world. We are not going to want to screw up B&S's musical careers. Don't make us feel like pariahs. Matt ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Top Forty Welsh and Duo
by iles＠boreas.leeds.icnet.uk 13 Jan '98

13 Jan '98

Could the top forty mid-price duo be the Chemical Brothers? Don't have any of their albums, so don't know what they cost though? And surely Patio Song by Gorky's got in the top forty - or was that last year...

Sinister: names
by Bramleys 13 Jan '98

13 Jan '98

OK, here's a proposition. Why don't all the girls change their middle name to Belle and all the boys to Sebastian. They'll be this sudden rush at the solicitor's offices around the world, and eventually this massive phemomenon will reach headline news. There'll be loads of questions: How was it organised? Why? And then when our epitaphs are written, people will say "Ah, the famous 98 B&S Sinister-listee outbreak. I took a degree in it. Interesting stuff." and it'll be like plague victims but much nicer. Wouldn't that be fun? bethey bramly(a)globalnet.co.uk

Sinister: Artist royalties and begging request for tigermilk tape.
by Patrick O'Brien 13 Jan '98

13 Jan '98

On the subject of artists royalties. Taping a CD for a friend is not an attempt to make a profit at the artists expense. Those who love the tape and can afford to will buy the CD anyway if they can. Pirate CD's of currently available (or soon to be available - Tigermilk we pray) material is taking money out of the pocket of the artist. Pirate CD's / Tapes of live gigs ? I'm not sure whether it's fair or not. If any band members read this, how do you feel on this one? Which leads me on nicely to a desperate request, one which I suspect gets asked rather a lot. Could anyone please tape me a copy of Tigermilk if I send them a blank tape? I know it's a bit cheeky, but I promise to buy if if it ever becomes available on CD. Can't offer much back in return b&s way, as all I have is the stuff everyone's got, but I would be really very grateful. pobrien100(a)msn.com Thank you in advance to some generous kind hearted soul out there. Patrick O'Brien p.s. does anyone out there like Momus ? I think that he's a noticable influence in quite a few b&s songs. He's released tons of stuff over the years, some a bit iffy, but some is sublime. He's got a great web site at http://www.demon.co.uk/momus/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
