Sinister: a tiny mention of B&S on MTV awards show
by John F. Monroe 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

after the Hole performance on the MTV awards ( which was odd, as courtney went into a little bit of rem's 'pretty persuasion' at the very end ), they had this Matt Pinfield impersonator talking to Beck, sending up Pinfield. He was sort of charting Beck's sound through mentioning loads of other bands, etc, ("from The Weavers up to the 13th Floor Elevators, taking a stop at kansas...") and ended with something like ' and all the way up to Belle and Sebastian'. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: b & s mention on mtv
by Jessica Murphy 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

OK, so I'm sitting here watching the MTV Video Music Awards... And just a little while ago, Ben Stiller, as the host, was dressed up like VJ Matt Pinfield and pretending to interview Beck. He reeled off a list of dozens of Beck's "influences" -- ENDing with Belle & Sebastian. I jumped. Maybe someone else just saw this and registered more of the whole joke. Weird, anyway... Good night... xo jessica m +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: OK, can anyone in US dub me a hissy cassette of Tigermilk, demos, etc.?
by bilner 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

Taking to heart the freshly stated (and seconded) policy of the label, I hereby revise my request. It's for personal use only, believe me, I'm hyping the new LP to everyone I know, but they all think I've gone all foppish on them, rambling on about the second coming off the early Kinks and Zombies... BTW, I've plenty of cool tapes to trade.

Sinister: Chart positions and things
by Ed Mason 10 Sep '98

10 Sep '98

Mark asked; >I'm off to HMV to buy my third ...Arab Strap today - it's for my mum, >who's crazy about the B&S experience. Any news on the midweek chart >position? The rumour I heard was that it currently nestles at number 8 in the UK album charts, which may of course be wildly inaccurate but the person who I gleaned it from assures me he's seen the mid-week positions....I guess a lot of people will have rushed out and bought it in the first couple of days so we might have the inevitable falling off in sales towards the end of the week...but then again it could continue on an irresistible rise to its rightful position... Aurore wrote; >Then this bloke comes up with his tape-recorder and says he's writing an >article about how mad B&S fans are (he didn't quite put it like this, and >said something more like "I'd like to interview people who'd come from far >away for the gig") and I ask if it's for a fanzine and he says it's for the >Melody Maker... So we went on raving about how good B&S are. But, ok, enough >of that. Mmmm, as someone also collared by said journalist at Nottingham along with Tim, Mike and Pam, I'm assured that the journalist, Ian Watson, is an obsessive Belle and Sebastian fan and thoroughly nice chap and as a consequence unlikely to do any stitching up. Which may come as a relief to some. Although Tim was assured that in the past as we know... And why do I still have a sense of foreboding as Wednesday approaches... Have I made errors? By the way I have a pair of Tim Hopkins' very own generously proportioned underpants at my house, left after the Leeds gig, and stained with Belle and Sebastian-induced sweat I'll wager, ooh, the very thought leaves me a-quivering, perhaps I should devise a competition or somesuch...then those who didn't make it to Leeds can attempt to relive the experience by standing in a fellow-listees 'attire', large mug of beer in hand and befuddled yet joyous expression de rigeur of course. Good to meet everyone at the gigs last week, I shan't attempt any further reviews as these seem to have been more than adequately addressed, but Leeds was undeniably and incontrovertibly amazing, fabulous, awe-inspiring and a truly wonderous thing.

Sinister: after careful re-listening to the LP.........
by SpaceboyUK＠aol.com 10 Sep '98

10 Sep '98

after a few listenings of the new album i realized that there are a few songs that i dont like much. they are good songs,just maybe not to my certain liking, according to the rest of the album. "Chickfactor" & "Rollercoaster Ride" The BEST songs (in my opinion) on the album are: "It could've been a brilliant career" "Sleep the Clock Around" "Is It Wicked not to care" "A summer wasting" "Dirty Dream #2" "Boy With The Arab Strap" & "Simple Things" "space boy dream" i had heard (well a different version-but much alike) on the LOOPER 7'' so it was no surprise,but i like it. sorry if this mail was no use to you,but i thought maybe some people would like my opinion,or at least like to hear my opinion,due to a bored day and nothing to do. -a.james +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
