Sinister: TIGERMILK REGISTER - John Peel's copy
by rcoleman＠husky.co.uk 05 Nov '97

05 Nov '97

Magnificent munificent magister of modern music JOHN PEEL, was, in his twentyninth year of sterling service at BBC Radio 1, a recipient of an original Tigermilk plate. Presumably the band mailed it to him (Katrina will know). And then fellow Radio1 DJ Mark Radcliffe charmed the LP away from him, and carried it off to Manchester. When Peel compiled the annual Festive Fifty (a compilation of the fifty most popular tracks of the year in the opinion of 'Peel Show' listeners) in December 1996, the Tigermilk track 'The State I am In' was good for number 28. In order to play the track for the benefit of inveterate Festive Fifty tapers like me, he had to have Radcliffe's people supply a DAT of the song. And he stomped all over its gentle intro with an horrendous jingle. Manual mishaps are a mark of the man.

RE: Sinister: Sarapalooza

So for all those people bemused by the mentions of Sarah records, don't think you're missing out too much. Belle and Sebastian aren't the logical progression of Sarah. I don't even see them as an indie band, indie is a lonely place where the catalogue number is mightier than the melody. Ultimately these songs make me catch my breath and give me the same rush as 'Disney Girls', a girl group weepie, a Northern Soul stomper, or anything written by Serge Gainsbourg or Robert Forster, something that a million Gentle Despites with a million typewriters could never do in a million years. Just my opinion... [Keith Watson] I'd be highly inclined to agree with you, I really don't see Belle and Sebastian as anything to do with that sort of stuff, which in my opinion seems to value status rather than substance, although I suspect some members of the band do see it that way, whereas I know others don't (Chris in particular). Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

I agree totally with all The Duke said......It's not the cappin' on the Sarah bands that ersed me off....I didn't like alot of the last batch...i.e. Shelley, Ivy, Aberdeen.....(yes, I was in aberdeen...and if I wasn't I probably would have thought it shite.) but it's the dissin of the Sarah *feeling* and the whole motive behind it that got me...I wasn't defending it cause I was in some stupid Sarah band, and I resent the (few) messages I got implying so.....Matt and Clare were so fucking influential they should get nothing but praise....If a select wankers took it the wrong way.....Oh well. So i'm p.d.antric. or...whatever. Sometimes i'm even p.d.heaton....Tra la la. So my point...It's the whole deal I was backing, not the last 90 or 100 or whatever releases. No need to insult our cherries or fringe or Ricks. NYA. Tho...I don't really concider myself part of "Sarah Records" really...I just rode along on the wake for awhile ...But it was/is my favourite label, and honestly....i've not been as so desparately in love with a band (like I am with Belle & Sebastian) since...So perhaps there IS some connetion...I'd defend Belle & Sebastian to the death as well......don't get me wrong...but hey....the kids seem to be kicking enough ass on their own. Just remember when you're running your bigshot, bully mouths....about how crap and forced Sarah was... you're talking bout my g...g......gen er a tion. beth ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Register
by Annie 05 Nov '97

05 Nov '97

Well I have been lurking around this list for quite awhile... I figure this register business will (maybe) motivate me to start posting. name: annie age: 17. yes I know very young. I'm not even in university yet. ha. location: washington dc. home to the dreaded fugazi and psuedo-situationists the make*up in addition to various monuments. misc: I do not own Tigermilk or the newest ep, am having severe trouble thinking of a meaningful event in my life to write for college apps. yeah yeah the old story. my claim to fame: I was once yelled at by N**l Gallagher. not too exciting, but it's certainly an amusing story to tell. anyway, I will stop wasting precious electrons here. -annie

Sinister: Tigermilk + other bits
by MayflyH＠aol.com 05 Nov '97

05 Nov '97

I ran to the record stores and got a copy due to a burning desire to hear 'The State...' again after hearing it on Radcliffe... must be the only LP I've bought on the strength of one song, lucky it was 'Tigermilk', then. It was #7.99 in the local indie store in Northampton, the other copy they had was bought by the boy next door (honest!), so that's two more accounted for... Sadly, I've managed to get a groove in 'The State..' so it goes 'b-by a dream.. b-by a dream' over and over until you can't stand it anymore... makes it unsellabe (is that a word?) I suppose, but then I don't want to sell it:) I'm 16 (sorry, it's not my fault!), doing A-levels, and I've just found out my birthday's 2 days before Stuart M's - nice bit of useless trivia - and it's the same day as Shaun Ryder's. Wow. Which means I bought 'Tigermilk' when I was 14 - does that make me cool or tragic? Or a bit of both? I thought the lyric was either 'I'm only lucid...' or 'elusive...'. And the 'we're four boys in our curduroys' lyric cheered me up for, like, the rest of my life. Hannahxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

>I was genuinely thrilled by 'Are you scared to get happy?' at the age >of 18, and I know Matt and Claire wholehearted believed in what they >were doing, but their ramblings became increasingly irritating and >pictures of cherries and disused railway lines didn't scream 'POP' but >Middle England. > First of all it's Clare. Second of all, if you think your 'ramblings' didn't become 'increasingly irritating'...you're mistaken. Thankfully.....More people disagree with you, than agree.....The ones who share your opinionated..... opinions are the ones marked out with WARNING SIGNS saving people like me, us....Sarah fans.....from the likes of you. I'm still confused as to why you posted this on the 'Sinister' list.....Not everyone here are Sarah fans, but everyone here does, or should, share a common love for Belle & Sebastian. Ohhhhh. What a rebel. Just like the big skinheads who use to throw rocks at the wee Smiths fans in the beer gardens in Cheltenham, back in '89 (yes, I realize they'd broken up by then).....Perhaps if I had known about cherries and trainstations then....I would have been so much happier. kirk out. one to beam up. beth P.S. Gob bless floppy fringe, Rickenbackers, Matt, Clare, boys in bunny shirts, and making a parody of ourselves...... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: SINISTER:hello, lots of stuff here actually!
by Sarah 04 Nov '97

04 Nov '97

Hi everyone! I'm a new listee, how do you all? And do I feel young now..er, can I ask something please? what's Sarapoly? Sorry, I haven't got the best of Sarah records, even tho' i did think some of you were talking about me, coz thats my name, Sarah! And does anyone know anything about the manchester gigs? i haven't seen B&S live yet...and I need to! Oh, and to whoever said Steven wells NME gets on their nerves, Lucy was it, sorry, my memory is, durr!, i think he's a great thing actually. He does my head in sometimes, but he's a good writer, makes you pay attention to what he writes, and always has a point to what he says, in his own words, a 'snotty middle class punk poet wanker', ..or something! He's the only interesting writer in NME these days, I MUCH prefer MM, better variety of writers, articles, funnier 'humourous' section, eg diary of the manics fan! But James Oldham! Didn't he just remind you of a boy whose mum wouldn't let him at the ginger hobnobs! I thought that was really immature writing for him. Oh well, that was the end of my first post! BTW, have not got Little Ink Movies/polaroids due to spending money on my BRILLIANT fanzine, called FEATHER BOAS & NAPALM, all contributions welcome, which I might as well plug here! I sent a questionnaire to B&S ages ago, but so far, no reply..oh well. I am trying to be Zen-like about it..I'd love one now so I could just say up yours to the NME! Lovehearts and stars and just coincidentally finished reading CITR-- Sarah! **************************** FEATHER BOAS & NAPALM ZINE C'MON! PUNCH THE AIR! **************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: This is your grandad speaking
by Giuseppe Gregorini 04 Nov '97

04 Nov '97

Oh no! Am I really the oldest? Your grandad is just 34 but in good shape (well, there's a strange buzz in my hearing aid, but nothing more). I'm a useless geologist.....now selling, er, dogfood and other pet stuff. Like JJ I stopped buying Sarah after #40-50. Too predictable and flat. Bye Giuseppe

Sinister: Football (again).
by ben ferneyhough 04 Nov '97

04 Nov '97

It must be a connection between Midlands football teams and B&S, as I'm a Forest fan, and I know of at least one other on the list. I'm 27 (pushing that B&S average age up), and am a physiology technician here in dull Oxford (except when it's sound city, or when B&S play !!).

I'm 27 years of age and a Graphic Designer/Mac Operator/DJ/promoter (a stereotype, I know). >- I spend loads of time doing constant copies for people in Edinburgh, who want their tapes >replaced and stuff, Paul, I'll do you another one, it's not a scratched record, it's fine, >it'll be my 20 year old tape player having a bad day more than likely. Incidentally, I've >been on holiday and ill last week. >[Keith Watson] ill - I'd suspected as much. Shame you missed the night Keith. I posted a report to the list which should be in the web site archive thingy! Bit of an unfortunate way to spend a holiday - isn't there any way you can claim cash for your 'lost' holiday days while ill? (unlikely, eh?). By the way I've probably contributed to the tape's rapidly diminishing quality by playing it too often!
