But i do have the galaxie 500 box set, and it is sheer perfection (that is, if you like that sort of music). but me being cheap, i would probably ask for the one which is more expensive so that i would not have to buy it myself! what does felt sound like anyhow? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Oh, 2 Other Things....
by David Walker 06 May '98

06 May '98

Hello, Firstly, saw St Etienne last night and they were excellent, except for: 1. Ms Cracknell`s dancing - it`s awful. 2. The bass player - just didn`t look right (and couldn`t dance either, but who cares, neither can I) 3. They didn`t play "Kiss And Make Up" or "Avenue". 4. They played too many new songs - I only bought it today, and didn`t know any of them last night. But hey, the rest of the gig was great, and it was at the Ritz, which always makes things better. The second thing - all these posts about "Tigermilk" etc, is my standing in the posting list improving ? I think it stood at joint last beforehand - I am lurker extraordinaire !

Sinister: Definite Last Word On Long Runner
by David Walker 06 May '98

06 May '98

Hello, Just needed to reply to this.... Stuart said... "Thus if you did a CD copy for someone, they would probably have to send you money to pay for the blank CD, which is where the problems start;" Indeed, but that wasn`t the original point. The original point was putting it on a CD (one copy on CD) and then doing tapes (higher quality tapes than tape to tape) for other listees FOR FREE. And this is why the debate blew up as it did. It`s piracy......but not for profit. Just a better and easier way of copying tapes. And it isn`t going to happen because of the initial official response (which has now been sorted out privately between myself and the Jeepster peeps). So end of thread (I hope).

Sinister: thinkin about tigermilk
by Suzanne Schroeder 06 May '98

06 May '98

welp. Interesting debate. I don't know about you, but if I had a dubbed copy, eventaully, i would want an actual CD release. No, not because B&S look broke and I could charitably help them with royalty fees, but its just that I want the quality of an actual CD. To share my story of heartache, I once had a roommate with bad ass music taste, so i dubbed a lot of her cds onto tapes for my own personal use. The tapes i used were shitty and after a couple of years, they began to drag in the tape player. REM's Murmur is gone to me along with a couple of others. Tapes don't last long anyway in endurance and probably have about 10-15 years on them before they start to decay. The ones in my dubbed collection still standing sound like shit because of the muffled qualities of the recordings. True, I know some of you are audiophiles and have good equipment, but it's not the same as if you owned something with artwork. The labels shouldn't hate us because we want to listen. I'm not going to stand idly by and tell a friend (if they so offered to dub it for me) no, that's not right and I'm turning you in to the FBI you communist bastard. B&S can't be arsed to release it properly and therefore have to suffer from our love. We want to live! We want to live and love! s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Sockerdricka pic-nic!
by Anna J 06 May '98

06 May '98

I'm sitting here in little ol' Sweden reading all the stories from the London picnic even though I'm really supposed to be writing an essay, feeling all jealous (bad, as usual) -I want to go to a picnic too!!!! But in stead of complaining about it I'll just have my own. Of course a cookie or two, my walkman, a B&S tape, a sockerdricka (famous Swedish soda, which I am pathetically addicted to) and anyone here in the Lund area (no one is probably a good guess) will be invited, and maybe I'll bring along my plastic cat Sylvester as well. Doesn't it sound like a marvellous idea? I'll tell you all about the wild and crazy things that happened later... Anna :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: My Lurking days are over
by Funkyseb 06 May '98

<clears his throat and begins> A big electronic "cheers!" to everyone at Monday's picnic! I won't try to describe it, 'cause, well, I can't remember a great deal actually.But the Ink Polaroids look quite good, so I'm sure I had a great time. A word of advice to potential picnic-ers: GO! You have nothing to lose but your Kiwis, and the listees ae really really nice, honestly. Looking forward to the next picnic, (where I'll drink less, and maybe manage a coherent conversation or two)... S E B ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: teenage fanclubs
by Johnston, John CT 06 May '98

06 May '98

Alas this is not a post about the wonderous Fannies themselves, although I loved Rod's postcard story and would certainly second his emotion about the inability to stop a huge grin ruling your face while they do their banter - lovely people. No it's just that a thought struck me about being in the Belle and Sebastian Fanclub. Coz it then struck me (ouch) that the only other fanclub i've been in was for...........Big Country! Aaah - the Country Club as it was known. How I adored their bagpipe rocking antics, how i defended them against the snide remarks of my peers that all their songs sounded the same, how I loved to stroll around in my "country club" T-shirt with the epic slogan "Stay Alive in 85" (a good idea when you considered the alternative...). What a sad and lonely young man I was. And we never had any picnics. On my last trip to Glasgow I saw that "the Country" are playing again. I was wondering if it was the original line up or had there been a break away and perhaps a rival Big Country had started up in the wake of the internecine Bucks Fizz debacle. It was then I realised I had too much time on my hands. xx John ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
