Hiya, Eh maybe you all know this and I'm being silly but I think that a brimfull of Asha is on "the 45" ... and I think its from the Cornershop single... Like I said sorry if you knew this one... Afrter going back home for the holidays more and more people seem to be talking about B&S .... and this is in Orkney folks which is practically the north pole. Also they didn't seem to be Belle and Sebastian people if you know what I mean. Actually, what is a Belle and Sebastian person.Any thoughts... Sort of what the stereotypical B&S fan is and what the reality is kind of thing... cheeri-bye ------------------------------------------------- " if you're chasing the morning, if you're sleeping all day..." ------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Not much B&S content...naturally.

This is always a problem at seated gigs; how was it done at >the Union Chapel? How about if the group saved all their respective pocket/dole/student grant monies and sent Stuart out busking every day between now and January 1st 2000. By then they should have raised a grand total of £67.48 pence Sterling. Then on the 2nd January 2000 when the Govt. have finally admitted they have no use for the Millenium Dome, we can all chip in and buy it for the knock down price of 100 quid. I've got 16 pence and a second class stamp. Then we can all get together watch B&S and have a big party. Sod the Albert Hall...it's all a bit poncey, and you can't trash the place afterwards. >And Keith, I'm not THAT tall... 16 foot 4 inches...I can't get over that..literally.

Does anyone know about that new Icelandic film...the one that isn't 'Cold Fever'? That was great - it had a Citroen DS in it and everyone knows that is the coolest car in the world.

Re: Sinister: Conversion:
by MWaggner 13 Jan '98

13 Jan '98

Sunday morning routine at the CD store, listening to music and drinking coffee, dancing around to great swing-y music by Cherry Poppin' Daddies. Helping to pick out music for a customer to listen to when he comes in later: which B&S ep? I pick 3..6..9 Seconds of Light, Doug picks Dog on Wheels. A kid comes up with a vinyl LLPJ to complete his collection. Says how sad he was to miss the NY shows, but he hadn't discovered the band until just after them. Give him the list address. Returning before the store closes, the anticipated customer is settled in, listening to CDs he might like. 3..6..9.. wins -- and so does Dog on Wheels. "Music you can cry to," he says, adding them to his pile of purchases. Convert the World!! There's plenty of room... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: other sounds(no B&S)

WARNING: NO B&S CONTENT >>Hello, >>As we are on the subject...... >>I have been listening to a bit of Northern Soul !! Well, to be honest, I >>know very little about it, so I went out and bought the "Wigan Casino >>Story" Volumes 1 and 2. Both are excellent. >A murky dredged darkly majestic like world it is. From what I have read >the band where in the throes of breaking up whlst recording A Northern >Soul. ?????????? erm, he means Northern Soul as in Mod revivalists spinning on their heads in '70s dancehalls to the sounds of Soul rarities. These tended to be tunes ranging from the Early '60s to the late '70s which in the main were not hit records. Some singles are equally as good as the all time Motown greats but relatively unknown. They can be one-off tunes or the lesser known tracks of the hitmakers (Ike & Tina Turner for example). >Maybe I should buy more. But buy what ? I don`t fancy going to seedy >holiday camps and paying 100 quid for a single (or spinning on my back >either to be honest !). Anyone have any great insights into the murky >world of Northern Soul ? buying Northern Soul records, like most other genres, involves wading through loads of crap. There are loads of vinyl or CD compilations on loads of labels, the best being the likes of Kent or Goldmine/Soul Supply. Having only around 20 or so Northern Soul comp LPs/CDs means I'm only a small fan, and I prefer Sixties Soul. I'd recommend you look out for anything by Mary Love, Jackie Day or Vernon Garrett. The earlier Kent compilations ("For Dancers Only" and the like) are a good bet and there are good budget CDs about. Look out for a CD called '18 Northern Soul Floorshakers' which you might even be able to pick up in those nasty 2.99 racks in your local Newsagent/petrol station! Don't buy anything else from that rack though, and avoid anything which says 'some tracks may be re-recorded etc.' Spinning on my head, The Laird of East Fountainbridge. P.S. "the only good Tories are Lavatories" and "Red Tag" had me cracked up during this otherwise boring evening.

Sinister: Touch me I'm sick
by Essexdog5 13 Jan '98

13 Jan '98

I quit smoking eight days ago and I've just tried a cig. Ewwww!!! "You got my Bodyshakin'!" as 911 might say, would they were here. Re: The quiz - Lauren Laverne 'dates' Taylor Parkes from MM, not Pricey. And Gorky's have never had a Top 40 hit. It's 60ft Dolls, Manics, Catatonia, Stereophonics, Supa Furries. And if anyone can solve question 14 they deserve a medal. Um... despite being a lurker on this list for a very long time, and intending to introduce myself tonight, I now feel VERY sick. Cigarettes are neither big nor clever, are they? Oh, and why the Rialto hoo-ha? DO explain. The singer in Idlewild is a B&S fan, btw, if he counts as a 'celeb'. Bed beckons...
