Sinister: Belle & Sebastian...On The Video
by jon g. 08 Jan '98

08 Jan '98

How about a B & S funky gig thing, where instead of a support band, we have the videos for the songs. After that, the band come on and do their bit and we all cry at the beauty of it all. Great idea, non? I saw Lazy Line Painter Jane on the ITV Chart Show in the summer - probably about June. It is a fab video. tara jon.g(a)btinternet.com - http://www.btinternet.com/~jon.g/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: B&S POSTERS

In a message dated 98-01-07 13:58:26 EST, you write: > >I didn't know there WERE Belle and Sebastian posters! What does it look like > >and where'd you get it? I have a large B&S poster given to me by the wonderful owner of the CD store we shop at (thank you Chris!). It's got the cover of IYFS on one side, and on the other what seems to be an advertisement for two B&S concerts, one in Glasgow and one in Edinburgh on March 8 and 9 (1997 I assume). I guess it's a promo poster for the CD -- but so neat to have the other on the back! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Hello everybody, It has come to my attention that Lynn from Vinyl Exchange in Manchester wants to "have sex" with Stuart Murdoch. We think it's because her boyfriend can't 'cut the mustard', if you get my meaning. Love, The Stirrer ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

My claim to fame is that I was the first Norwegian on the list!!!!! As far as I know there are absolutely no plans of B&S coming to Norway. I work for a record company that might be getting distribution for B&S in Scandinavia. Then more people would be able to hear their wonderful tunes, which would be great. At the moment people are lining up outside my flat wanting to hear the cds..... Elisabeth A gig in oslo domkirke would be a great idea though! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

aaaah the folly of youth.... says the sixth former...... but i'm telling you! this is terrible! i have taped the best f B&S for my friend. she thinks they're "lovely, really sweet" - but whenever i mention them (and its not that often, i save that for here!) she groans! WHY! (ok this has now turned into a pointless rant) She said the same to nirvana. She said the same for the Manics. In fact, anyone who aint NIN or Marylin manson is fucked. dearies what am i to do???? i think i shall look for an adventures in stereo record. or CD what say you???? and if anyone threw away my CD's collection i would cry and cry and cry and harm myself a lot and never speak to the people who did it ever again and be ruined, a nervuos wreck. And Lizzie Daplyn, i used to have that Doroty Parker quote in my sig ages ago! in fact i'm bored of Lisa Simpson, so i shall stick another of the good old DP in the sig file for a while. hey, ryhmes....nice :) I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!!

manchester was just plain weird though. yeah, doing gigs in the round has been going on since before the globe theatre was built. but usually the audience is around the players... 8) (and yes, given that all the staging was brought in it could easily have been arranged into a long, wide stage but i kind of like the way they tried something different) I was there on Sunday night. I liked it too, the way the audience was corralled into such a small area, and subsequent band movements caused maximum confusion, and most of us opted to stare hopefully at the empty mike stands, instead of craning our necks to see the top of Stuart M's head ... so I had time to look around me and listen to the songs and watch the steady progress of a wee girl in a sheepskin coat who crept past me and who wouldn't be able to see a thing unless she got to the front. Afterwards, driving to Birkenhead in the pouring rain we talked about how we felt about it. Four people's conclusions approximate as follows: Futile pilot were shite. The stage setup was unconventional, but worked. B&S kept us waiting an awful long time before they came on. But that was OK, because they were brilliant, technical hitches notwithstanding. Maybe a bit more polish next time but who wants slickness? I've seen a lot of bands (beginning with Japan at Edinburgh Playhouse when I was 14 in, er, 1982) and B&S was by turns one of the most moving, and quirky, and funny, and flawed. I think that's a good combination. Even the flawed part made no difference. It was just part of the experience. One note of dissent: I think Orange Juice's version of In A Nutshell could never be bettered. Or is this too dogmatic?

Andrew...I don't know about you but I love my mother dearly and I am an extremely passive fellow. However, should my mother ever sell/throw or give away any of my B&S cd's, I would surely be forced to break both of her legs. -- Adrian Evans ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
