Sinister: B&S for Baltimore / B&S nightmare / Chris Geddes
by Nick Dastoor 09 Jul '98

09 Jul '98

>And Baltimore just oozes with character, unless you wander into >the baseball stadium which I felt looked rather contrived. There's the >whole Edgar Allen Poe connection as well. And then there's Tim Hardin's >Lady Came From Baltimore. A nice tune for B&S to cover. Yes, or there's Nina Simone's incomparable 'Baltimore' , which with its dreamy reggae beat would prove an ideal cover to further Belle and Sebastian's fan-baiting eclecticism. Despite living 5000 miles away, I like this campaign to make them play in Baltimore. Bewilder them with its sheer arbitrariness. But we need some kind of focus for our protest. Perhaps we should boycott the new album until they cave in? Anyway, Tag was being unfair with all that line-them-up-against-the-wall stuff. I think there's a certain amount of insecurity doing the rounds about only liking guitar-based indie music. Whereas to be exclusively into, for example, straight down the line reggae, is seen as fine and cool. It's like in 'The Jerk' when Steve Martin turns the cliche on its head by experiencing a spiritual awakening on hearing some naff easy listening played on the radio after growing up only hearing soul. Sorry, I seem to have turned this into some kind of racial issue, which I'm sure is not what Tag meant. I'll shut up. I had a B&S nightmare last night. I dreamed I joined in a thread about favourite books by opting for 'The Black Prince' bt Iris Murdoch, and was flamed by a Cambridge student for making such an appalling choice. It was quite distressing. Umm.. does anyone know where Chris Geddes grew up? I was listening to a tape of him on 'Beat Patrol' interview last night and realised that he has a really odd accent - a sort of mix of Glasgow and London. Is there a region of Scotland that was invaded by Walthamstow in the the 18th Century or something and still bears the scars? Or am I just a clueless fuckwit? nick xx _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Re: Sinister: The boy who's always dancing

Even vaguely? ARRGGHHH!!! Why do you want to do that? Electronic Renaissance is great, but only because it has the marvellous B&S aspects to it. But without that, it would be an 80s dodgy synth and kiddy drum machine record. Please, let's not have an 80s revival, everyone. I wasn't culturally alive in the 80s, but there seems to be nothing of any real cultural significance yelling at me from the last decade, unlike the 60s and 70s, which are screaming at me all day long. All there seems to be is dodgy kiddy casio keyboards and pop stars who don't write their own songs. I know there must have been more, but I can't see it. Can anyone help? Or I am I right? jon g.

Sinister: Ack! Confusion?!

Oh listees, I'm sorry did I fall asleep and not read a tremendous post? Manzello(a)aol.com wrote: I've had the pleasure of listening to the new B&S album for a bit, and I feel I would be remiss in my duties as a listee if I didn't share a few of my thoughts. If you would rather not know anything more about the new album, then this would be a good place to stop reading. ** So. did i miss out where to listen to the new B&S album? Is it out there somewhere or do you have to be magically mystical and associated with _high & powerful_ music gods to know these things? Sorry, it seems that i'm in a mess & in a dress every day of my life. Wee Chi Chi (Thai-An) xo ps as for B&S content, can we request where B&S will perform in the US? Can I indulge in a large whisper and say Baltimore is the place to be?? they can always kip on my large sofas. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
