Oops, i jumped the gun yet again :) anyhow, the current situation is as follows: belle & sebastian will not be releasing any singles from this album (as indeed i hope they never will ...). i don't know how radio promotion works outside the uk ... the other territories take care of this in their own way however they feel is best. as far as videos go, there is a video for "is it wicked not to care?" which is being edited soon. again, i can only tell you how we do things in the uk and i'm not up on what everyone else does. all territories will receive copies of the vids, whether they get shown locally depends on their tv promotion campaign. i know that doesn't help much, but i spose it's an answer anyway! cheers, Katrina. -- ************************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - mailto:a-and-r@jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, uk phone - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk ________________________________________________________________________ *-*-* Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list *-*-* To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The Cult of the Left-Handed Sinistines (and Billy Joel)
by Mick McMick 07 Aug '98

andy dean penned... > 3) strange that someone asked why stuart m was 'pretending' to be left > handed in the new press shot (the one in the lecture theatre) cos if > you watch him spray the wall in the 'dog on wheels' video he also does > this with his left hand... OH dear! Why do you think people think we are all a 'cult following'? Is his handedness really that important? Repeat after me: They're just a band. Now please, throw that half-eaten ham sandwich which you found in the dumpster behind Stuart M's house away please, it's starting to smell a bit ;) someone other than andy wrote... > You know, BILLY JOEL trademarked his name recently. Astounding, isn't > it? Well, Idunno, I mean there are several reasons why he might do this. The first is that a Billy Joel fan might see that a prospective musician who happened to have the same name was playing in a club somewhere, then go and be very disappointed that it wouldn't be the BIlly Joel who has had Top 40 hits. The other, more important-seeming reason, is that someone other than Billy Joel, up until recently, could have trademarked his name, then Billy Joel, who has sold quite a lot of records, would be out of his name and also his name recognition. He might have to change his name into some silly sort of symbol. Think of it as protection against silly lawsuits.

Sinister: London gig, tickets please???
by Stephane Buron 07 Aug '98

07 Aug '98

Hi, it's me again! Well, I have a very important question to ask you : a french friend of mine has just realised that he would be in London on sept 7... You see what I mean, i guess : he would love to go to the B&S gig, but unfortunately, it's sold out. So, if you ever meet someone who has a spare ticket, if your wee sister is ill, if you find a ticket for the gig making pictures of pavements like Karn, just think about him... Please, he will die if he cant go to the concert... I would too if I was at his place. Email personnally to him (xwatkins(a)pop3.club-internet.fr) or to me if you prefer. Thanks again Steph PS : the Salako single is ace... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *-*-* Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list *-*-* To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

by Sam Norman 07 Aug '98

Wow, i am amazed at the amount of mail today. Anyway, I stayed up till three o'clock this morninig to listen to XFM play tracks off the new album. First the guy from the nme played stuff, and then John Kennedy who decided that he'd play music from related artists in a whole sction tyo themselves, well at least B&S, Arab Strap and another Scottish band. Anyway what i heard whilst not yawning was very good, bye for now.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- why not visit my website: http://www.angelfire.com/ma/Sleepflower/index.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *-*-* Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list *-*-* To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: this whole name copywriting thing; As I see it, the Belles (as no one seems to call them) have two plans of action; 1), they could claim to have chosen the name as a mark of respect to me and my dead dog. (That Belle/Sebastian joke always annoyed me as a child, but I spose it could have been worse; my best friend was named after a pet rabbit) or 2) they could tell her to fuck off. I mean, she's a childrens writer, and she's got to be pretty old by now. How much of a challenge can one old lady present to the Stuarts' lean, mean, Young Team? Failing that, we can all go over and do her ourselves.In those nice new matching T-shirts. That name's too good to lose. On a more pleasant note, I can confirm (long after evryone else,) that that Salako single is brilliant.Let's all go and buy it, and see them go in the charts. Incidentally, I would appologise for my last post, and I would promise always to read the digest before posting, but it's just too hot for that sort of thing. I'm going to bed now BYE!!!

Sinister: Sunhouse
by Collier, Paul 07 Aug '98

07 Aug '98

Rich wrote, 1) Have you seen 'Where's the money, ronnie?' or 'Smalltime' by the same bloke who directed '24-7'? (they were on channel 4 recently) 2) Have you heard a song called 'crazy at the weekend' by some band? (it was a single i think and was also done acoustically on one of the programs from Glastonbury on BBC2) Right, still with me? OK, now could any of you still reading (probably about 2 of you) tell me whether the song in 2) was in the film in 1)? Also, who is it by? And, do they have an album and is it any good? For some reason i really liked the song when i heard it on the Glastonbury coverage (although i was drunk so it could be shite) and it reminded me of the song played at the end of 'Smalltime'. 1. I believe the film was called "Twin Town" and marketed as the "Welsh Trainspotting" i.e crap. 2. The band is "Sunhouse". "Crazy on the weekend" is the title track from their debut album and is TRULY FANTASTIC. Hope this is some help to some one, Chuckie. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *-*-* Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list *-*-* To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

now known as The Sinister:
by Kevan Cooke 07 Aug '98

07 Aug '98

And talking of Billy Joel, I feel compelled to ask if anyone else remembers the track of that name by Blood Sausage... This then prompts me to ask "does anyone know what happened to Huggy Bear?" The last thing I can remember they were selling mail-order only singles about four years ago. Belle and Sebastian may indeed be a band, but they are most certainly not *just* a band. Not on this list anyway. No official denial of the rumours about the band having to change their name yet. Probably because Katrina is above this sort of idle and inaccurate gossip, at least I hope that's why. I bet Looper have got just the sort of "obscure indie band offshoot with a single on SubPop" credibility that could add much needed new life to the Spice Girls now that Geri has left. I think that Karn should offer to be Pish Spice. Bought an Elliot Smith album at lunchtime. Kiwi Mad Dog 20/20, heh heh, that was one of ours.

Sinister: I wanna hold your hand (collectively)
by babyblu＠gold.globalcafe.co.uk 07 Aug '98

07 Aug '98

If anyone's interested there's a beatles club on tonight (Friday) at HQ's in Camden Lock, London. I thought maybe some of the Beatle apologists from the recent debate might want to come along. Littl old me will be doing the door, so if sing a line from your favourite B&S song whilst winking coquettishly at me, I'll let you in for nothing. Bargain. It's called 'Beatlemania' (which i anagramise every night to produce highly humuorous and amusing phrases or sayings. Last one was 'Men eat labia') and the nearest tube is Camden town. StayLuckyRoryxxx Oh, and it's apparently a really good place to stand next to the tall git and laugh at peoples dress sense. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *-*-* Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list *-*-* To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Re:Doo dee de de doo etc.
by Funkyseb＠aol.com 07 Aug '98

Ah. Before you all shout at me, I should mention that after listening a few more times it turns out that my lovely fox imagery in '...arab strap' was a little bit wrong, and it's a bus he misses, (and i take it he means physically, as to emotionally). Still, a few more listens has confirmed that the lines : '..as you stagger about making free with your lewd and lascivious posts' can indeed, still only refer to susannah. Shame about the fox bit though, I had a whole kinda film/cartoon mercandise tie in thing worked out for a while, the fox could follow his master, Brave little toaster like all the way to London's evil Soho... oh all right then.
