>Yet another shout of praise for B & S, this time from Mark Eitzel in >the pages of Time Out New York (reviewing selected songs) :- >TONY: 'Beautiful' by B & S > >"They're my favourite band right now. He's a great songwriter. I love >his music. It's a beautiful song. I've listened to IYFS a million times" Yeah....Standing talking to Stuart M. at the Sunday NYC show last year, Mark Eitzel crept up and inbetween us and grabbed Stuart's hand saying something like "Lemme shake yer hand man...you're just a genius man...it was fucking brilliant." then he cowered off into the night. Odd, but brilliant little man that Eitzel. I said "oh wow! That was Mark Eitzel from American Music Club" and Stuart was like "yeah?" and i'm saying...."I SWEAR! It was!" I don't think he believed me tho...just thought it was some akward pop kid. Ah well. shared soppy Belle & Sebastian moments...... beth p.s. I saw a guy who looked EXACTALLY like Stuart this morning on my way to work....he was driving down Burbank Blvd in a big, black, 4x4...with a confederate flag on the back.....that kind of ruined the fantasy...especially when he spit out the window. Ah well...*sigh* Message to you Rudy --- no email yet? I sent them all this am...about 7:15 am, standard California thyme. Ah well. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Mice and Jan
by PKHINTZ 28 Jan '98

28 Jan '98

I will admit it--I found someone to tape me the entire Field Mice discography since I was too young and foolish to buy the records when they were actually in print. The cassettes are right now residing in an honoured position near the stereo--oh, right next to my tape of _Tigermilk_. Imagine that! And I can not think of any other band, indiepop or otherwise, that sounds much like Belle and Sebastian. Oh, maybe a snippet here and there, but Belle and Sebastian are much more singular in general. Living and loving Matthew ps. Amanda--email me: I know quite a bit about the Ghent alterpiece. (That sounds like some dodgy pick-up line. Actually, it almost sounds rather appropriate on this list. Kiddies, now you know how to snag Stuart M.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: B&S on Matador
by todd 27 Jan '98

27 Jan '98

the problem with getting the list in digest form is that everyone has already responded to the threads that catch your eye, so by the time to chime in with your American indie-rock knowledge, its already exhausted. but I'm still chiming in anyway. Matador will be a good home in America for B&S. As already noted, it is the home to Pavement. In addition to that they also are home to Guided by Voices, Liz Phair, Chavez, Cat Power, etc. I believe they have a good distribution deal with Elektra or Atlantic (sorry to bring the biz into this, but we want B&S to have the widest distribution possible, right?) The artists get autonomy on Matador, so no one will be butting in saying "ummm...could you make this a little more like third eye blind?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

In a message dated 1/27/98 5:07:05PM, you write: << sinister(a)majordomo.net >> You think there wasn't a hundred clamouring fans on the phone straight away?! By the time I got through the staff in the shop were fed up with people asking and informed me that it was long gone. Anyone willing to confess how much they paid for it? Well, hey, thanks for all the non-existent mails thanking for me for the, er, 'tip'. Jeeeeezus. Indie tossers are no less polite than anyone else really, are they? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Pavement + Belle
by Hans Peter 27 Jan '98

27 Jan '98

Salut! For the record, Matador's parent company is the behemoth Capitol Records and to find out about the arrangement between the two, check out Matador's site http://www.matadorrec.com/, which includes a long winded explanation for all those concerned. Speaking of Matador, I think it would be sublime to see Pavement and Belle and Sebastian tour together. Let's put the pressure on. HP *Any French listees who want to help this here English speaking lad learn some french, please drop me a line. Merci. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Tigermilk
by Marylka 27 Jan '98

27 Jan '98

Hiya everyone.....just thought I'd better introduce myself and all that. My name is Marylka (or call me Milka, why not, everyone else does) and I've been suspiciously hanging around the list for a few weeks now, but I thought now was the time to be open and declare my love for the most stunningly fabulous group ever to walk the earth. So I like Belle and Sebastian then. I was wondering if anyone saw the ad in the back of this week's NME for some random record shop....hang on, I'll check the name....Opal Records, and anyway they had in their possession a sacred and holy ...you guessed it...Tigermilk, and it said ring up to enquire. So of course I did, but *sniff* they'd already sold it for £160!!!! I think this breaks all records. BUt worth every penny, of course :-) Have fun lotsa love, Milka ========================================================== "Get me away from here, I'm dying Play me a song to set me free" ========================================================== ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: sinister--whoops
by Runegg 27 Jan '98

27 Jan '98

Hi, and whoops. So I confused Matador and Maverick!--those who corrected me nicely, thanks. Those made angry by the mistake... take a deep breath. Here's some more three-syllable words I could've confused with Matador: Maskingtape Masonic Marketplace Masturbate Marabou (it's a kind of stork) Maritime Marinate Masquerade Anyway, I'm glad BAS is going to be on Matador, and not Maverick. bye for now --Ari ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
