Sinister: 'Tigermilk' has been mentioned
by Coombs, Benjamin (B.J.) 07 Jan '98

07 Jan '98

Hello, I've only been on this list for a short while, yet 'Tigermilk' has been mentioned quite a few times. Before I joined Sinister I'd never heard of the album. I looked around trying to find it in the shops, but curiously with out much luck. This month the magazine Record Collector, had an article about B& S, stating, (what you probably already knew) that Tigermilk was a limited edition 1000 print release - and if you could find it - would cost 125 pounds... ...I read that and thought ...Bugger. I'd love a copy, but not really at that price tag. Can anyone help? My preferable format would be Minidisc. I could do a minidisc swap or pay for postage and packaging, any ideas, whatever? Much thanks Benjamin ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sorry to bore you all with techy bits, but doesn't RealAudio and RealVideo need a special, expensive server? To add some relevant content: I like it when you can hear Stu singing in Century of Elvis - it's something to listen out for. Rather than whether the Manchester gigs were bad, I have to say that I found Manchester hideous - all those big grey buildings just waiting to topple over on you. The Sunday matinee was wicked - I loved it myself. Does anyone know who the moody people who wouldn't clap were? Were they famous or just very arrogant? I thought the stage was good - I liked it like that - it was less...confrontational. jon.g(a)btinternet.com - http://www.btinternet.com/~jon.g/ -----Original Message----- From: Ivo A P Escossia <escossia(a)electus.com.br> To: Belle & Sebastian List <sinister(a)majordomo.net> Date: 06 January 1998 18:11 Subject: Re: Sinister: videos > >> >Anyone know if it's possible to obtain copies of B&S videos? >> I would've thought the first place to try would be Jeepster, >> which would be for Katrina to answer. > > >Katrina could put them in her web page.....or in Jeepster page. >Real Audio Video RULES :o) >Ivo A P Escossia > >----------------------------------------------------------------------- >.

Sinister: Nick Drake
by Edward Lee 07 Jan '98

07 Jan '98

It's just occured to me that "Lazy Line Painter Jane" might be a reference to Hazy Jane, a character mentioned in several Nick Drake songs. It's quite likely considering how often Stu Murdoch's vocals are compared with NIck's. Anyway this kind of thing is important to me as in my view Nick Drake was one of the most beautiful people ever to create music. Anyone else agree? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: yum yum posters
by PKHINTZ 07 Jan '98

I am not sure exactly where the poster came from originally. Listee Amanda gave it to me in return for chocolate from England. It is the cover of _If You're Feeling Sinister_--very large and very red. The cover star looks more distressed three times life size than on the CD booklet. When I asked Amanda where she had procured such an enviable item, she ignored my question and changed the subject, or I mumbled and she never heard me. The cats have been ignoring the poster since it was hung up, but I am not sure I trust them entirely. So apparently Stuart M. is no Orpheus and can not charm the animals into submission (only some wistful humans).

Sinister: They're the tops! (well, we knew that already)
by Amanda Bergman 06 Jan '98

06 Jan '98

Pardon me if anyone else has already posted this, but I recently was skimming through Spin magazine and found that B&S's _If You're Feeling Sinister_ was named one of the year's top 20 albums according to the lovely folks there. Reading this praise of B&S would have been delightful in and of itself, but my discovery of the little blurb in the January issue was especially poignant because it provided an opportunity for me to prove to my sister, Meredith, that I am not crazy for liking B&S. She hates their music, and doesn't understand it can hold any sort of appeal for anyone. "Who likes this crap?" she asks. So it was really nice to have the CRITICAL ACCLAIM right there in print to rub in her face as we boarded the airplane from Flordia to New Jersey. And then I was reading her copy of Entertainment Weekly once we were airborne, and wouldn't you know it, there was more good press for B&S: they were rated one of the year's best up-and-coming artists (or something along those lines...the magazine advised readers to look for them in '98). So there, Meredith! In case anyone is interested, the complete Top 20 list is as follows: 20. Prodigy, The Fat of the Land 19. Wu-Tang Clan, Wu-Tang Forever 18. BELLE AND SEBASTIAN, IF YOU'RE FEELING SINISTER: and the critics rave, "Teensy, but never a toy, not half as frail as their willowy music seems, these Scots couple chaste songs to subtle perversions. 'Nobody writes them like they used to, so it may as well be me," sings group leader Stuart Murdoch, as these sad, swoony songs--nicking everything from Nick Drake to bossa nova to Merseybeat--illustrate keenly." 17. Geraldine Fibbers, Butch 16 Daft Punk, Homework 15. Janet Jackson, The Velvet Rope 14. Various Artists, Return of the DJ Vol. II 13. Roni Size/Reprazent, New Forms 12.Erykah Badu, Baduizm 11. Pavement, Brighten the Corners 10. The Chemical Brothers, Dig Your Own Hole 9. Missy Elliot, Supa Dupa Fly 8. Yo La Tengo, I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One 7. The Notorious B.I.G., Life After Death 6. Portishead, Portishead 5. Bob Dylan, Time Out of Mind 4. Bjork, Homogenic 3. Sleater-Kinnet, Dig Me Out 2. Radiohead, OK Computer 1. Cornershop, When I was Born for the 7th Time Ah, it is so nice to be back at the old computer again. Over vacation I was technologically deprived. Though not B&S deprived, as I had my CDs with me. And I had a "near-gig" experience while we were in Disney World, at Epcot, the Saturday of the Manchester gigs. I saw a rock band playing, and they were all dressed in kilts and one was playing a bagpipe. "A Scottish band," I mused aloud. As close to a B&S show as I was going to get in Flordia. But then the lead singer opened his mouth to introduce the band, and as it turned out, they were not Scottish. Not even British. They were Canadian. That's when I realized I had left the perimeters of Epcot's "England" and had inadvertently wandered into "Canada." But anyway. I digress.

Sinister: Inconsistency
by Reid 06 Jan '98

06 Jan '98

All these discussions of B&S being horrible on Saturday and brilliant on Sunday remind me of the current state of Bob Dylan's shows. Die-hard Dylan fans will admit that going to see a Dylan show these days is a risk: you have as good of a chance to see a horrible show as you do to see a great one. And yes, that might be kind of annoying, but it's kind of fun in a way. Personally, I'd rather see someone do two entirely different shows, one bad and one great, than to see a band do two shows exactly the same way, both decent. B&S don't owe us anything. If you don't like it, don't go. You might be saving your money by missing a crappy show, but you might get your money's worth and get a great show. If we wanted it the same way every time, we'd all stay at home and listen to the album. By the way, I'm enjoying the argument about professionalism. There've been some great points made. I hope that one person who's tired of the argument hasn't scared anyone off. It seems that a discussion on a email list can't go for longer than two days without someone writing in all caps about how SICK they are of it. Just a few observations, ~Reid Oh, by the way, if we're compiling a list of celebs who are B&S fans, we'd best add Jarvis Cocker. --- "You wrote a book about yourself, the people left it on the shelf"" J.
