Sinister: radio song
by Cassell Professional Publishing 06 Aug '98

06 Aug '98

My sweet girlfriend, who's working at home because of the stress, just left me a voicemail message of the title track playing on Jo Wiley. Even down a dodgy phoneline, this song sounds *amazing* on the radio! Mentioning the forthcoming appearance of Slow Graffiti on that soundtrack album to a friend last night, he said: That's cool! I said: Is it? He said: Of course - it means more people will hear Belle and Sebastian. Which sent me into a bit of a spin. Now I don't mind thousands of people buying the new record, because they'll be buying a truly wonderful thing which is all B and S. But I feel worried about Slow Graffiti being on the same CD as (wild guess) Sleeper, or the Bluetones, or whatever other crap they package together. I know I'm being a snob, but isn't anyone else a bit perplexed by this? It doesn't seem to fit easily with the band's control-freak philosophy. One more thing: could someone do me a tape of Elliott Smith? I'll make a lovely tape for you in return. Thanks. Take care, DAVID ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Sinister: Doo dee de de doo de dee de de de deee

Ohmigod ohmigod I can hardly type for shaking but I thought I'd quickly describe The Boy with the Arab Strap for listees not lucky enough to pick up Radio One or to be Journalistic scum. Well, I thought I'd descibe it, but I don't think I can. There's a much happier mix than on sinister, much brighter, with lots of wibbly keyboards and handclaps, and the drums go ba ba bab bababa every so often. As for lyrics, all I've made out so far is something about the 'man who drives minicabs down on Old Compton'; (does this herald another wave of gay/straight speculation I wonder?) and something about 'Lascivious posts', (well that would be Suzannah) and I'm sure Stuart sings 'I miss the fox'. I hope that's right, I cried when I heard that bit. I can imagine a little fox, looking round for his fey singer friend, who's deserted him, and gone to London to find fame and fortune.Aahh. Then Jo Whiley spoke all over the end, which was probably the best bit. Radio One like doing that don't they? Anyway, That's what I thought it was all about. I probably misheard it all. Oh, roll on the seventh! (a very excited) Seb ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

RE: Sinister: Speaking of Artist's Sons

Speaking of what Mike just said: yeah to Rufus Wainwright! Scenario: They'll play a song on the local independent radio station and I'll catch myself saying "Hey, this is really good" to myself. And then they'll say, among other things, "That was Rufus Wainwright". And this didn't happen just once or twice, I'd say it happened at least five or six times (with five or six different songs). So, anyway, I haven't gotten the album yet, because I'm poor and just two days ago had my wallet returned to me, no less, but I have these strong desires to do so. So when I saw Rufus Wainwright's name recommend, I had to second the emotion.

Sinister: Leonard Cohen, bald boring bastard.
by babyblu＠gold.globalcafe.co.uk 06 Aug '98

Not only does Leonard Cohen have a son, but he's now given up the worldly life and gone to live in a monastery in Tibet! Apparently he looks after all the herbs in the monastery vegetable garden and all the other monks reckon he's a dab hand with the parsley. His son regularly goes to visit him to bathe in buddhist tanquility as a break from the sordid, drugstore supporting, rock'n'roll life he leads and they have a nice summer salad and Adam asks him for songwriting advice. I only know all this because it was in a slightly surreal 'Father and son' feature in the Grauniad magazine a couple of months ago... Terry Southern. My senior assistant at Books etc has Blue Movie as a staff pick and he looks like Tinky-Winky. Make of that what you will.

michele had written: Someone recently told me that Leonard Cohen's son (is it Adam?) has copyrighted his name... so another performer named Adam Cohen had to change his name before his record could come out. I'm not sure if this is true, or if Leonard Cohen even *has* a son... but hey, it's what I heard, so I thought I'd share. and i would say, yes , its true he has a son, and i had the great misfortune of seeing the son's band a few weeks back, opening for Drugstore. It was painful to sit through, luckily it was short. I can't even describe how bitter it left me, i just wanted them to go far far away. a friend of mine showed up late and upon joining me i told him how lucky he was to have missed this band - then i was nudged by someone, as the band were just a few feet away. ah well, like they care what i think :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Sinister: trop belle pour toi!!
by Greekesque＠aol.com 06 Aug '98

06 Aug '98

i found this on the jeepster page, it's from the august 97 melody maker: One of the short stories Stuart wrote was called "Belle And Sebastian". Is Belle, Isobel the band's violin player? "No. I wrote that before I met Isobel. It was about a girl, and this boy teaches her how to play guitar. I used to imagine him writing songs and this would be a Belle song and this would be a Sebastian song. And I would arrange my tapes in Belle and Sebastian songs and it got a bit daft when it came to playing music to real people. I'll probably put that story on a record sometime." so that's what that is all about. i missed the arab strap tonight because i had a painting class to go to. my painting class was going good, we were doing lanscapes that were outside the windows of the building we were in, but it started to get too dark for the class to see what was outside. hee hee. so i walked home to my house (this is all in a turn of the century town) in the rain. my painting got ruined, which i am happy about, considering it was terrible. anyway, while i was walking home i was singing that line from "dylan in the movies" that says something about a long walk home... ah... the joy of life... *christian* ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.
