Sinister: Lyrics
by Dawn 26 Nov '97

26 Nov '97

I can't understand all these confessions about misunderstanding lyrics... Doesn't everyone pick up the lyrics from the moment they put the CD on, and sing lustily along, or is it just me? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: sinister: mamas and papas, sisters and brothers-in-law
by mctag＠mcmail.com 26 Nov '97

26 Nov '97

hello everybody (hello doctor Nick), Senor Miller mentioned showing off his Sebs (as I shall insist on calling them from now on, it's more RAWK) T-shirt to his ma + pa. Keeping the family theme alive, my father asked me last week 'who's this Belle and Sebastian then? What have they done that I know?'. Apparently my sister had been discussing the possibility of going to the Manchester gigs (her and her husband are particularly fond of 'Stars of Track and Field', he's a keen athelete and is convinced the song is about him - I do wonder if he's listened to the lyrics), and this had aroused my father's curiosity. It's always difficult to answer questions like this from my parents. 'They're a pop group....err...they're great...my favourite group...err, they're from Glasgow, like you (remind me never to go into advertising)'. Then I played 'IYFS'. The response...'Could you just turn it down a wee bit, please, it's quite good, but awful noisy'. Well, I tried. Can anyone confirm that Channel 4 text are giving double points to any vote for the Sebs in their single of the year poll? Them and All Saints, apparently. Oh one other thing....

Our Steve, the nation's favourite Indie Guru, with his 'trusty DM's' his chirpy 'see you down the front at the next Embrace gig', and his hard-hitting weekly column in Melody Maker (the highlight of this boy's Wednesdays). We have a picture of him on our wall. He's the cutting edge, yet somehow 'down with the kids' as well. Anyone who heard the Sebs' session last time around will know that no-one in the world can say 'whooping' quite like Steve Lamacq. Andrew, you're right. He is Satan.

Sinister: re: london list meet
by Andrew.Dean＠BULL.NET 26 Nov '97

26 Nov '97

d&k: >Back on the theme of the proposed London meet, my friends >are organising a pop quiz for Thursday night (tomorrow). So >why not use this as a London meet? bad idea i think - we'll all be at home with fingers poised over pause buttons to tape that night's session track... i prefer stephen's idea, a coffee place rather than a noisy, smelly, smokey pub (i don't drink but then i don't drink coffee either...). and the pop quiz strikes me as a distraction... sorry. oh, and pam (and ben), don't you think you've done enough tigermilk tapes for people? isn't it time for those people you did tapes for to offer to do tapes for the new people, division of labour and all that? and steve lamacq continues to get on my tits with last night's showing... andy(grizzly)bear ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Tonight, Matthew, I will be Chris Geddes....
by stephen troussé 26 Nov '97

26 Nov '97

Oh dear, I've just read the lyrics someone typed up to 'Seymour Stein' and I am crushed. One of my most dearly-held delusions was that the line after 'North of Scotland has these things' was 'but only Harold and Maude see', thus extending the B&S frame of reference to include a classic film of morbid adolescence. It turns out its something about a limousine.... I was talking to my musician friend Simon the other day. Turns out that he's decided to play in a Smiths tribute band ('The Smythes'!) because, and I quote, 'you can't make money playing your own songs anymore'. This got me thinking. Considering all the posts from people who've seen bands playing B&S material, how long can it be before the group have their very own tribute band? It'd be great! Stuart could send them out to do all the nasty promo work (talking to the NME, going on Later with Jools) the band can't be bothered with. And they'd be able to play at times when the real band are tied up with church bazaars, roller discos, exams etc. But what would they be called? 'The Cock Fun Mob' is a cracking suggestion, but I'm sure Peter already has it copyrighted... The Dogs on Wheels? The Lazy Line Painters? Mad Murdoch and his Middle-Distance Runners? I'll shut up now.

I'm buying a computer this week too so I'll get a fantastic new email account at home. At that point too Peter, fancy a bit of Internet Relay Chat, indeed we could designate a quiet chat room and the Belle and Sebastian list could have a "Virtual Robo-Cyber meeting" - let me know if anyone fanices that.

For all those desperate for a copy of Tigermilk, I'll do a copy for people in the UK, but you'll just have to wait a week, as I'm moving house, and so this is just to say I'll re-post this offer next week or the week after. This note-ette is to let you know someone will do the honours for you, just hang on for a bit longer.....Ben. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

>speaking of which is anyone else finding the surfeit of 'perfect day' a bit strange? i mean, bbc1 are using the new version to urge people to pay their television licenses and channel 4 are using the (much better) original in order to publicise the fact that they're showing 'trainspotting' sometime this week... I wonder if the BBC realize that 'Perfect Day' is all about taking heroin? Danny Boyle presumably did. Nigel xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Foyles bookstore... a big favor
by mlang＠inch.com 26 Nov '97

26 Nov '97

I need a big favor. The company I work for is trying to re-make a feature film and apparently the script is really really hard to find. I have heard it is possible to find at Foyles bookstore, but there is no way I can do this from New York. Foyles is in London I believe. If anyone is willing or can do anything to help me out, please email me and I will give you the details. I would really really appreciate it. By the way, the remake is extremely B&S related... one of their songs refers to the original and I would hope to get that very song to open the film..... all the best, steve ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: I don't do drugs, all my friends are on their holidays
by Keith Watson 25 Nov '97

Now it's funny you should say that. On the first of the two occasions I ever took ecstacy, it was at a Flowered Up gig at Shoreditch Town Hall (this is 1990 or something). And I was convinced that the support were the future of music. Their name - Ocean Colour Scene. Kids - just say no.... ====================== Hoho - Top one, Sorted, i'm on one matey! Flowered up were a strange band really, very contrived "Baggy from the South" style thing, but surprisingly good in compared to what they should have been given that they were at the total arse end of that scene. Tag - got your tape and it's great, I haven't got through all of it yet but I've done you a tape - yourself and Peter's tape should be in the post this week, major apologies for the timing on this front as I say it's been release time for us and it's hectic. Listening to the song that St.Etienne played a few years ago brought back vivid memories which was good. I suppose I should have told Bob that as a matter of politeness - although I suppose also it may've seemed rude given that it's not their song! On the tape is a pile of Mo'Wax stuff, not including Shadow, although I've put Zimbabwe Legit and the Shadow mix of Krush's Meiso on it - which you may have, but it was worth the risk as they're brilliant. See you're meeting Susannah and Steven Trousee (can't find e acute on my keyboard I'm afraid) next week, hope that goes well and say hello from me, cheers for the ticket, are you coming up for the Glasgow thing then? I'll be going certainly, just put a new fan belt on my car so a wee jaunt along the M8 ought to recharge the battery! David Nicoll - Coming to Manchester then! Give us a shout.
