Jenny Toomey in her article on the band in Puncture magazine states that the masters for TigerMilk were destroyed about the 1000 copy pressing.

Sinister: Terry Callier (again...)
by Matt Locke 20 Jan '98

20 Jan '98

sorry if this is a little late (like many people who get the digest, I find myself losing the 'thread' occassionally) I put up a post about Terry Callier a few months back and offered to make compilation tapes of some of his classic 60's-70's stuff (BGP have released a cracking early 60's jazz/folk album that first appeared on prestige) There does seem to be a healthy tinge of classic/northern soul to the tastes of you sinisterines... I would still offer to make tapes for those who are thinking of going to the gig (I've seen him play twice and he's bloody marvellous), or those that go to the gig and are desperate to hear some more...) BTW, could (el tel) PM and T hopkins mail me their addresses, as I promised them tapes and have nowhere to send them to... tar-tar matlockxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Matador Press Release
by barzy＠networkmags.com 19 Jan '98

19 Jan '98

*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE* January 20, 1998 BELLE AND SEBASTIAN SIGN TO MATADOR/CAPITOL Followup to critically-acclaimed If You're Feeling Sinister to be released this spring. Scottish band Belle and Sebastian , whose "If You're Feeling Sinister LP was released last year by the Enclave label, have just signed a deal with Matador/Capitol in the US (the upcoming album will be released by the Jeepster label in the UK, and Virgin in Europe) Despite a virtual moratoriumon interviews, no band photos, and sporadic live shows, If You're Feeling Sinister was one of the most acclaimed albums of 1997, showing up on innumerable best-of-year lists. Belle and Sebastian have ammassed a devoted following as well. In the UK, their Radio one Sessions were voted by listeners as among their favourites of the year, along side bands like The Verve and Radiohead. Their recent singles have been UK chart hits, despite being on a relatively small indie label. Here in the US, their only live shows--two nights in a former temple in New York City--sold out far in advance. There are numberous web sites and an internet mailing list (ed: hey that's us!!) devoted to the band, and an Official Belle and Sebastian Fan Club. (ed: hey! that's David and Katrina!) Belle and Sebastian's music is a soulful take on folk-pop, with subtle infusions of cello, trumpet, piano, and other traditional orchestral elements, and wry, almost perverse lyrics. It brings to mind such classic music as Nick Drake, Donovan, and Motown, as well as more recent heros like The Smiths, the Go-Betweens, and felt though their unique soundrenders such comparisons rather flimsy. The as-yet-untitled follow-up to If You're Feeling Sinister will be released this Spring, to be followed in the fall by a compilation of three EPs previously unavailable in the US. The band will be returning to the US in 1998 for select live dates. Both Matador and Capitol were instrumental in the signing. Capitol CEO Gary Gersh says "Belle and Sebastian are one of the most exciting bands to come along in years." As a Matador/Capitol co-release, Belle and Sebastian will be joining such Matador bands as Pavement, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and Liz Phair in this fruitful relationship. ### ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Tigermilk
by Moff eaton 19 Jan '98

19 Jan '98

Hello. Since my discovery of B & S late '97, I have been able to listen to nothing else. Pulp's "help the aged" cd, which was purchased the same day, is gathering dust, and is probably a bit resentful, but I cannot help it. Not since a grey day in 1986, when a mopey high schooler (me) discovered the Smiths have i been so taken with a band. That's a damn long time to wait too. My problem is this: I live in Annapolis Maryland USA, not exactly the mecca for B & S. I have ordered the cd singles, the t-shirts, the badge, etc... but have not been able to find Tigermilk (or any other side projects). Any chance of getting someone to copy this material onto dat for me? I will also be content with cassette, it's just that i will burn a cd of this stuff for use in my stereo. I have $$, but would prefer a trade, as it is more satisfying and fun. Or, if anyone knows how i may purchase these items i would of course do so, but it seems as though it's a bit hard, even when you live where most of you live.... My trade list goes on and on, but to whet an appetite, i tape (dat) all the concerts i go to, some of these have been: Tori Amos, Lush, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Pulp, Magnetic Fields, Morrissey, the Rentals (acoustic), Weezer, the Make*up, Ben Lee, Danielle Howle, etc... As for cd's and vinyl, I have complete discographies (including all avaliable demos and historically important or fun concerts) by: Tori Amos, Pixies/ Amps/ Breeders, Smiths, Morrissey, the Cure (by far my most exhaustive collection), Kate Bush, Cranes, Cocteau Twins, Galaxie 500, the Wedding Present, P J Harvey (including #666 of the dry demos cd... spooky!), Lush, Magnetic Fields/ Future Bible Heroes/ Gothic Archies, Pulp, Rentals, Unrest, Bettie Serveert, etc.... Anyone want to trade? thanks, jason ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Food and Sexuality (non B&S)
by Sam Khater 19 Jan '98

19 Jan '98

I saw movie that addressed food and sexuality a couple of years ago. I think it's called 'Like Water for Chocolate'. I think it was a Spanish or Mexican subtitled flick, very enjoyable.

Sinister: Photoshop Phantasies
by susannah 19 Jan '98

19 Jan '98

Having just discovered the joys of photoshop (get it virus-free at www.tucows.com) I have been busy fulfilling my popstar dreams by cutting, pasting and airbrushing and can now be seen in all sorts of compromising positions with Mark out of Ride (I've got the photos to prove it Katrina!). However, lets just stick to Belle and Sebastian for now (Trousers and Honey- not a word, I know you two can keep a secret). Firstly there's Richard doing the washing up at my kitchen sink, he looks well handy with a tea towel, but why is he wearing a skirt? He'd better get on and do it though, he's got piles!! Next, there's one of me lying on a beach in Barbados in my bikini, never knew I had such long legs, and whose is that tanned lithe body I'm rubbing suntan lotion all over? Oh! Look! Its Stuart Murdoch! How did that happen? Theres me getting off a train, with Stuart David waiting for me on the platform, I've come to visit him between the holidays, but why is he wearing my Dads trousers? He looks a bit porky too, all of a sudden. Oh, and there's me and Chris Geddes having dinner in a very posh restaurant, he really must see the specialist about those bosoms, maybe he can get the number off Keith. And Stevie, funny little Stevie..... what ARE you up to with that?.........&*%$?@+#!!! susannah. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

>has anyone read any Isabelle Allende? as she's due to release a book about >the indistinguishable line between the eroticism of good food and sexuality, >and i'd quite like to know what her past books are like and am too lazy to >read. I believe Isabelle has 5 or 6 books out now, the easiest to read if you are quite lazy is 'The Stories Of Eva Luna', it's a collection of short stories as told by a woman, Eva, to her lover, Rolf Carle. I think all her books except one have a Peruvian setting, they are all very dense to read, like you feel quite strongly about the characters. After 'The Stories of Eva Luna', read 'Eva Luna', which is the story about the woman. But I've read 4 of her books, and they're all excellent. There is a lot of eroticism in Allende's books, so I'm all excited about this new book about food + sex. If you see the way she writes, you know this new book will be perfect. truly, jessica ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Its not unusUUUAAAAALLL!
by Sarah 19 Jan '98

19 Jan '98

Heey! I can talk bollocks on the list too, I'm young and it is my right, to kinda sorta quote mark Hamil....anyway :-) My plan! We all had fun and games meeting up at Manchester oui? Do you want to meet up again! Because, guess which iconoclast is playing at the manchester Nynex... : TOM JONES! *sarah squeals iin joy!* I think it would make another perfect Belle & Sebastian trip, the style, the unique dancing moves, the showmanship, I'm teling you SM could take some tips from ol' Tom. I have no idea how much or when or how but I shall find out and let you know. Cos i *have* to go. Hmmm, wonder if anyone will actually pay attention to this? Oh well never mind. My cuddly fluffy teddy bear floppy dog loves me. Hmmm again. While we seem to be talking about record production of the albums, I think Tigermilk has been way better produced than Sinister, ho hum. I'm bored. Really I'm bored. Serious boredom. I should get a job. Thing is I live in the middle of nowhere with about 4 shops and getting a job in Preston/Blackpool depends on public trnsprt and half my money would go on bus fares. No-one hirs me cos i live out of he way...i loathe life. Well, you're all looking too happy anyway. I'm going to go and see Sppiceworld soon. That is if I'm allowed out of the house... Oh I've really depresed myself , and maybe you now. sorry. well, that was a rapid swing through Srahs` emotions. Pathetic aren't they? oooh Geniveveveveveve come and cheer everyone up :-) I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!!
