I must say.. Tigermilk is a great album, in it's full digitally remastery.. I'm really grateful that Jeepster decided to re-release it.. I've been waiting to hear more Belle and Sebastian, so here I am, listening to the songs that I never got to hear.. Songs that I must say are really well done: Electronic Renaissance, and I don't love anymore.. Thank you again Jeepster. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Humbel apology
by Alan Singfield 15 Jul '99

15 Jul '99

To all of you who came to the defence of Electronic Renaissance: Its a free country, isn't it? (well it is here in the Peoples Republic of Mancunian Libya) I don't like it, but if you do, thats OK... We all have our own pair of ears!* If you want to cut your Tigermilk tape *between* "Electronic Renaiisance" and "I Could Be Dreaming" to represent the hallowed "turning over of the vinyl" you are more than welcome to do so. Anyway, there might be something on the other side you don't want to mess up. Nick Dastoor, who accused me of "casual slagging" - what a great idea!Tell me where I might find a "casual slag" and I'll give "casual slagging" a proper go! I *promise* I will listen to Electronic Renaiisance with a new set of ears this evening. And try to like it. Spanners. >--< * Oh shit I might have offended people with only one ear. Sorry monaural people. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

On the new B&S page the caption to the pic of Chris standing next to a TBWTAS poster reads "Beans and Baguette" which my poor recollection of French class translates to "French bread." Maybe they just meant it as a clever joke and its realy some other sort of handle and whatnot. Maybe Mick or Katrina can bless us with clarification?

Sinister: BLUEBOY n' B&S.
by rgpietru＠student.berklee.edu 15 Jul '99

>does anyone have all BLUEBOY's stuff, barring BANK of England >('twas abysmal, methinks)....my copy of UNISEX is almost dead and i want to >have a nice little collection of their stuff(EPs, etc).....anyone out there >with these things?...and willing to make copies? hello, i have "Unisex" , "if wishes were horses" and their first 7" on Shinky which are all brilliant. i'm with you on "bank of england" though. it reminds me of some sort of hack suede. shrug. i'd be willing to make copies of the other stuff, though i'm sure this is far from their complete collection. I thought this would be a good time as any to ask people's opinion of earlier Blueboy. to me they sound a whole lot like B&S, sonicly. (B&S are better song writers). but the arrangements, and even the vocals and almost exactly the same. the first time i heard 'if you're feeling sinister' i thought it was Blueboy that i hadn't heard before. shrug. -bobby.

Sinister: Out of the nursery
by Flo 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

Hiya ppl! It's my first post here and I hope I won't talk too much nonsense! It's been comforting to see at least 3 or 4 posts today supporting "Electronic Renaissance", which is one of my favourite tracks on "Tigermilk"! Anyhow, I still haven't got the CD because I blew all my money this weekend by going to Dour festival (Belgium) on Saturday to see the Supe Furry Animals. And 2 hours before they were supposed to play, the speaker came on stage to announce they'd cancelled :( I saw the lovely Delgados anyway, I don't consider them to be a great festival band but they were great, and Alun Woodward was as cute as ever :) Seeing Drugstore while drunk is always cool too! I suppose some of the Glasgow members of the list went to see Godspeed You Black Emperor! on Monday, since the topic was being discussed on the NG a while ago. I'm so jealous!!! GYBE! are so good, and Mogwai coming as surprise support.... that's unfair!!! Anyhow, I'll have some more of that nice white wine, and won't bore you any longer, I have to get ready to go out, 80s night in a club, no B&S, but it'll be cool!

I struggled to get off my arse yesterday and pick up Tigermilk, but rest assured the mission was a success and I've been listening to it almost nonstop since then. Unlike most people on the list I never had a decrepit, much loved and whittled tape copy, and the only song from the album I had ever heard before yesterday was their version of "I Don't Love Anyone" from Bowlie. Needless to say I was bowled over. Wow, what a record. I have to agree with those who champion "My Wandering Days Are Over" as one of Struan's best works. I dig the key change at the end when his voice gets all reverb-y talking about the circus boy. I also happen to like "Electronic Renaissance" but Nick seems to have the defense of that one covered so I won't go any further. "She's Losing It" is also aces. The review that was posted about TBWTAS being disappointing and their worst effort to date, I will take umbrage at however. Personally I think TBWTAS is my fave. It may not be as solid and dependable as IYFS or as whimsical and ebulliant as Tigermilk, but something about the songwriting on that album and the production just knocks me out everytime I hear it (which is almost daily). If you look at just Struan's songs, I think its the best of the B&S albums. With tracks like "Rollercoaster Ride," "Brillant Career," "Sleep the Clock Around," "Ease Your Feet," and the title track...how can anyone call this album disappointing (not to mention "Wicked")? It definitely has its share of lowpoints, such as the much mailgned "Chickfactor" and the "what the hell were they thinking by putting this on the record" nominee "Spaceboy Dream," but its the high points on the record that just seem to dwarf any music I've ever heard. I've also noticed that the first B&S record you hear seems to remain your favorite forever no matter what comes later. Maybe its just that inital meeting with something so perfect and pure that no amount of songwriting chops can overthrow it. I mean, I love IYFS and Tigermilk and all the EPs, but its something about TBWTAS that will keep it atop the rest for whatever reason. Maybe I just like the image of "Beans" Geddes being impaled by French bread. Who knows? steve c. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
