>I just picked up my tickets for the Toronto show . . . and I'm buzzing >like a bug lamp. Wheee! I got mine too, called from the payphone at school to the evil Ticketmaster and paid a whopping $24 for one ticket (can you believe that?), but of course I didn't complain and I probably won't because it's Belle and Sebastian and just getting to see them is privilege enough...I wonder how fast the show will sell out? I called at 11 this morning to make sure I didn't miss out...but I'm sure I'll hear when all the tickets are gone. Now I'm just counting the days. Only 5 weeks and 2 days... truly, jessica pee ess. Is anyone else going to wear a name sticker? I feel that I must try and promote friendliness. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Thanks to Katrina

Hi, I just wanted to publicly thank Katrina for getting in touch with Matador on my behalf...A few minutes ago, I received a call from them informing me that they'll be sending the LP today via UPS. I didn't want to sound so harsh (if I was), but desperation was driving me desperate.

Sinister: www.muse.ie
by ciaran＠clara.net 17 Sep '98

17 Sep '98

Hello, Here is a copy a B&S review ftom WWW.MUSE.IE read on. Ciaran............................. Belle & Sebastian - The Boy With The Arab Strap (Jeepster) You've never seen them all together in the one photograph, they've rarely played live up to now, and they don't engage in very many interviews. Yet somehow Belle & Sebastian's folk-pop cult has spread to the mind of every cognizant indie-kid and the heart of every romantic fool. Their enigma isn't built on myth though but rather a back catalogue of two fine albums (the first of which is impossibly rare) and a selection box of non-album track EPs, such as the delicious Arthur Lee-esque West Coast Soul and mariachi trumpets of "Dog On Wheels". All of this has pre-established a revered status for the third album from B&S. Just as well that it's their best one so far. "The Boy With The Arab Strap", a teasingly in-jokeish reference to their fellow Glaswegians, manages to locate some of principal songwriter Stuart Murdoch's finest tunes alongside four contributions from three of the other seven full-time B&S-ers. In the latter category, guitarist Stevie Jackson includes two hazy Sixties' pop songs, including his lonesome tale of being the only band member to miss being wined and dined by legendary A&R king "Seymour Stein". And "A Space Boy Dream" is the funky spoken-word and beats combo work of literary-bassist Stuart David a.k.a. Looper. The non-Murdoch contributions admittedly offer new and fresh dimensions to the B&S structure. But when the angelic boy wonder himself is on the sort of form that breeds the oscillating folk-bliss of the title track and the dizzy Northern Soul reverie of "Dirty Dream Number Two", then one must still acknowledge the creative drive behind them. Not to mention the cool all-hands-on-deck swagger of "Sleep The Clock Around" and "The Rollercoaster Ride", with their varying concoctions of bag-pipes, Moogs, strings, trumpets and divinely born pop melodies. You should buy this. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: BOSTON show
by donovan＠matador.recs.com 17 Sep '98

17 Sep '98

FYI:Just got off the phone with the promoter of the Boston show. So far they have sold a little over 400 tickets out of 630 available. They anticipate a sellout by the first week of October if not earlier. If you are planning on going to this show, I suggest buying tickets sooner rather than later. A word of advice for any listees thinking of travelling to one or more shows who can't decide which show to see....it's been my experience that most bands *rarely* play their best shows in NYC. Not that it's impossible, but I'd say it's rare, possibly becaus of the pressure, real or imagined, of playing in a town so full of uber-critical writers and industry folk. Or maybe it's the water. -donovan +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
