Sinister: Stuart in tha house

Dear Sinisters, >I don't want to see them running on stage shouting 'Hey Manchester - we're >here to rock you' Yeah and Stuart wearing leather pants and pulling out crying girls from the audience to sing to them,ripping his shirt off and throwing it into the crowd,and dedicating his songs to 'all you lovvvvers out there' and then Stuart David clapping his hands yelling 'Party people! Wave your hands in the air like you just don't care...' hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm What was the SIZE of these shows anyways,was there lots of pushing and jabbing or are people well behaved,I went to a Radiohead concert in August and I almost suffocated and almost got my ribs borken untill some saintly but bizarre guy took my hand and led me to the railing at the front.I don't like big shows like that... do Belle and Sebastian interact with the audience between songs? And does anyone know a band called the Devlins? My friend and I were going to see Titanic (don't make fun,it was good! I thought so anyways..it was sad) and as we passed HMV there was a tiny little gathering and I'm like 'Oh..there's some band called the Devlins' and my friends like 'REALLY! They're from Ireland' so of course I have to run there (have a little thing with english and irish accents) I felt a little bad,didn't have their cd to sign,just a sad looking piece of paper,but the sweet one with long hair smiled and gave me a poster of them and they both signed it,said I had a good name. THey seem so nice,what is their music like? That is terrible about all the stolen Belle and Sebsatian stuff.....was it music collectors who stole or just normalle thugs? Did any of you make new years resolutions? It's been a year but I got the vacuum from the basement and I cleaned my room.... :) Love love to all you lovely people, Genevieve "so it's like this the drink goes to my head and then champagne legs... well lets get out of bed 'Cos we are healthy and we're in love we work out so we can get fucked up" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: sarah'z talking bollocks - ACTUALLY belle and sebastian related! wonders never cease.
by Sarah 04 Jan '98

04 Jan '98

hi de ho neighbours! well, some of you sat next to me in the pub before STAURDAYS gig so you ALL count as neighbours!!! heres my two pennorth. i only went on Saturday, i was very close at the front. i thought Get me away from here i'm dying was lovely. i thought i don't love anyone, was also lovely. i didn't know all the cover versions and new songs, but i paid attention to try and see what they were etc. i *actually* didn't know what to expect from a band like Belle and Sebastian. this is my first *non-ROCK* gig really. for me, i was happy looking at Stuart Murdoch when he was my side of the stage. bad bits! i had to kinda tune out and look at the suroundins whe he'd gone. of course i didn't like that. but to tell you the truth if we wanna be like that thatere a few things that we would all *change* if we could, to make our own perfect little band. well, they're not *ours*. Part of why i like them is tha fact that they are normal LOVELY people making sensitive songs. So, i will put up with these things and not fucking slag them off all the time becaseu they didn't have the perfect set up, the note for note album veersions of their songs etc. and so they fucked up at times. i didn't cry about it. to tell you the truth, i didn't think the sound of the recordings on If You're Feling Sinister is that ace. to tell you the truth i almost fell embarrsed listening to Stuarts voice sometimes when he goes too high and weedy. but i'm only saying this cos i'm pissed off. i still love them *despite* that. it seems that i'm the only one who thinks when you love a band, you don't stop cos one of a dissapointment. there is a REASON why lovethem after all? and surely that doesn't change. i'm SURE i haven't seen the best of belle and sebastin. even you lucky SUNDAYERS probably aint seen the best either. i know i haven't but oh boohoo. am i talkinng any sense here? i think i should stick to my usual posts of talking shit about ziggurats. and to whoever asked about the joy Divsion box set being worth it, i just got it and: YESYESYESYESYESESYESYESHESYESYESYESYSEYSEYSYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYSYESYSY SESYES! and as for Steven Wells reviewing a BELLE AND SEBASTIAN Gig...now what the fuck was the point of that! at least he'll slag them of with flair. i may not agree with half a word he says but i'll still credit him with being a great writer.

Sinister: Post-Manchester Ramble
by Stuart Maclean 04 Jan '98

04 Jan '98

Hi all, just thought as everyone else had had their say, I'd wade in too. Um, so what did happen that weekend? Arrived Sat evening, booked in at our cheap hotel, alas not the Dolby but the Grafton down by the Uni. Off to Vinyl Exchange and Piccadilly for supplies first, then roamed my way to the Square Albert. Being the shy type I didnt really say hi much for about an hour, though I was one of the first there 8-(. Still, Martin turns up and beers are proceeded to be had. As it filled up a bit I said hi to Stuart and HoneyPaul and had a general good gossip. Ahem, bit worse for wear by 8, off we staggered across the square to the Town Hall. Ha, another church! Pseudo-bar upstairs and "please no drinks or smoking in the hall". OK, hung around, Arab Strap kinda came and went without exactly being there (?!). Is there such a thing as a "typical" B+S stage show, well assuming yes is the reposte to that, then I'd say "typical B+S" stage show, U-shaped stage!! PA looked quite small, yep very quiet gig to come. OK, so quite packed by the time I had finished another of Murphy's beers, so I'm kind of near the back watching two stages side on but with the sound right in front of me ;-) And them, um, well, I remember Photo Jenny as great and Century of Fakers as bop-along but not much else, and then they were gone.... Had I come from Southampton for this?? Still, no time to lose wallowing in the disappointment of it all, taxi off to Smile, where the entire Town Hall crowd bopped to such stupendous records as Therese, Carbrain and Pristine Christine. Said hi to Julian, my mate Mark's friend. OK Martin, its 2am, I'm tired and drunk and the gig is coming back to me, off home. Awake at 11 with no sign of aforementioned cohort, seemed he had "met someone at the end of Smile and gone to theirs". Blimey can't get the staff these days ;-). So, Sunday spent nursing hangover from hell, no ticket for the matinee but not to worry, tonights gig MIGHT be great, like Colchester after Oxford. Its kinda like Charlie opening that Wonka wrapper, this MIGHT be the golden ticket, so this gig MIGHT be the best in history. So, the Albert is closed, off to the Ferris Wheel, glance at GMEX, into the Briton's Protection (sp?) for a hairofthedog Tetleys. over to the Hall at 8. OK, feel better now, hangover gone, on the cokes, meet friends up from Wales (hi Mike and Fred) and good old Pat from Accies, who is amazed to see me (I'm now sitting here typing this taping him TM ;-)) So, support come and go without a fuss, get nearer the front than last night, that's better already. Off we go at 9.30. Modern Rock Song, and its just wonderful. Sound is about a gazillion times better than last night, and no its not just the lack of alcoholic stupor! The State I Am In next and if that isnt the best song in the history of music.... A glitch for Le Pastis , never my fave anyway, but then Shes Losing It, oh so wonderful, me thinks this next hour is going to be so great. But a couple more go by whose titles elude me. It is going off the boil I think, tho still better than last night. And, then, WOW revival or revival??? Century of Elvis just the best, what a tune (hmm preaching to the converted here Stuart??) better than horrid Fakers remake ;-) And Judy and Seymour and Dylan and it just flows and glides and this is the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD.... havent felt like this in years, since oooh Codeine in London.. they play for 80 mins and it just gets better. Hey whats this, "Another Girl Another Planet" to end, ha no, its "Sleep the Clock Around" and is this the full cacophony or what, everyone seemingly at full pelt, but WHAT a sound. Naff hotels and bad hangovers are forgotten, this is the place to be, here right now, no matter the cost.... On the way out, opinion landslide that tonight swamped last, off home to recover from a whirlwind time.. Hm, back to the "sounds like X" thread, anyone agree that We Rule The School has the solo straight from Streets of London by Ralph McTell ;-)) Just my 200 dollars ;-) OK, slaggings-off welcome. -- Stuart ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Missing the point
by Mark 04 Jan '98

04 Jan '98

Duke totally misses my point about the Manchester gigs. I DON'T want B&S to be a polished professional act, I said that in my post. What I do object to is corners being cut on the technical side, either through lack of experience or the foolish belief that 'all-round incompetance' is somehow attractive. Maybe you'd be happy if they recorded the next LP by placing a walkman in the corner of a big room instead of spending a few days in a 'professional' (oh my god!..) studio and using 'professional (here we go again...) equipment with a 'professional' engineer. And then they could release it on cassette only without bothering to master it because they've got lives to lead and they just do things for themselves - fuck the people who funded it by buying the last record. Duke, I think you'll find yourself in a minority here. Sorry mate Mark ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: sinister - new Yankee on the list & possible Tigermilk for sale
by Mary Wyninger 04 Jan '98

04 Jan '98

Hello all, I've been lurking on the list for a few weeks now, and I wanted to introduce myself. I live in Seattle and B&S have been rocking my world for the past 8 months or so. I rarely get completely obsessive over a band, but B&S have definitely driven me to that level of fanaticism. (Other bands I feel the same way about - Guided By Voices, the Velvet Underground, Beat Happening, Superchunk.) All my money goes to buying new records, eating be damned... You know the drill. HOWEVER! I didn't just post to the list to waste your time. A friend of mine told me that the record store he works for, Luna Music in Indianapolis, IN, USA, just got in a few copies of Tigermilk on cassette. Someone else already taped it for me, so I declined - but I thought I'd pass the info along to you. I don't know if this is supposed to be widely-known - so if you contact them, you didn't hear it from me, OK? :) Luna's info is as follows: -- phone: 317.875.LUNA (5862) email: lunamusic(a)inetdirect.net URL: http://www.lunamusic.net/ -- Thanks, and good luck!

Sinister: Sarah?
by Richard North 03 Jan '98

Did someone called Sarah send something to the Void? If you did then well done 'cause I read it and it was great! Did you read the other letter that said most of Dog on Wheels was done by session musicians and not the band. *controversial* - especially as he said that he was at the recording studio. oh er bye Northy ``Don't be afraid to take a big step.
