Sorry andy, but I've got my own scanner, and just OCR'd the press
releases. The time consuming bit was editing the text (Omnipage
can sometimes substitute the most unusual letters!)
Was the LLPJ Press release posted to the list originally? I can
only assume it was. Frankly I can't be arsed searching the archive,
as I found myself getting nowhere the one and only time I tried.
Sorry if I gave the impression I'm a sort of fanatic, I think
typing that lot from scratch would have taken about an hour or more
and I'm actually pretty lazy (but no line painter) to tell the truth.
Byee!

I've got a neat idea for a promo... Put little Belle and Sebastian T-Shirt
iron-ons in with the EP! You could put a different one in each format (grrr)
so people would buy several copies, and you'd get walking promotional posters
for the band all over the world!

ps- Got a "Tiger's Milk" Peanut and Carob bar yesterday. I'm a bit afraid to
eat it though. Also, the first thing I heard when I went to work yesterday
(at a restaurant)-- "3...6...9 slices of bacon." Just felt like sharing.

Alright, yeah, sorry about that one.
I wasn't really thinking when I said that Tigermilk should not be re
- released. I think I just felt like saying something a bit
controversial, especially after having felt a bit pissed off about
the Manics / Smiths comment.
It was most definitely a heat of the moment thing, which I hope you
will all understand when I tell you that I don't, in fact, have even
a copy of Tigermilk.
Having thought about it, I would love to see Tigermilk on the shelves
of Virgin, HMV et al, so that everyone could hear the pleasures of
what (as I understand) is a landmark album.
I do, however, happen to think that there would be some people,
whether a minority or not, who would start whingeing and moaning if it
were re - released; not really because of the collectable value of
the record, but due to their "I got there first" mentality.
Yes, I agree, music is for everyone to share and appreciate, but I
seem to encounter, far too often, people who express the above
mentality about some band as soon as they get anywhere near famous,
like they want to hoard all that band's music for themselves. Quite a
childish attitude to take.
So, once again, sorry for being so stupid and not thinking about what
I was writing. I've learnt my lesson!
Chris.
P.S. I don't believe I've ever been called 'sir' and 'arse' in the
same sentence before. Harsh, but fair!

I think that the best thing B & S could do is release a series of
ultra - collectable limited edition 7" singles on a singles club
label.
The band could even do the artwork themselves; I mean, they could
hand - paint the sleeves, or whatever.
Things like this generate huge amounts of publicity, especially if
the band is already fairly well - known and has a good fanbase, like
B & S.
Oh, and Neil, I take offence when you say that all Manics and Smiths
fans are filled with rage. Or that if you are filled with rage then
you must like the Manics or the Smiths. Or whatever. Basically, a
highly ignorant thing to say.
Go and listen to some MSP and you'll feel very chilled out. Honest.
Tigermilk... should not be re-released. Let it stay collectable.
Where is this Smile night in Manchester??
I would literally fall over if I ever heard even one B & S song
being played in a night.
But then again, I usually do fall over when I go out.
Does anyone here actually come from Manchester, like me??
Just wondering. And wandering.
See ya later,
Chris.

No, no, I don't think you're spewing at all! Those are the sort of stories that make a list such as this worthwhile! I thought it was the sweetest thing I'd read all day. It reminded me of the time I sent a tape of Tigermilk to my now-boyfriend (then just an object of my affection) way back before IYFS came out. He called me at work and said "oh my god, i just put in your tape. it changed my life!" all hushed and serious-like. It was the cutest thing ever. Cut to 6 months later, and there we are sitting behind the piano bench at Sessions on W 54th.

As for making Tigermilk available to all -- I agree, release it, for Criminy's sake! Sure, lots of us have tapes of it, but I live in fear of mine being eaten, something which just happened to my roommate this weekend. If and when it's released on CD, I will covet my digitally-enhanced and pure and not-easily-scratched-or-eaten version of "You're Just A Baby" for all eternity. Now let go of my hand so we can get some sleep.

Hi. It's Richard. The best thing I like about New York is
the taxis. They're great. And every time you jump into one
you put your life in their hands. And none of the drivers
speak English, which is great - so you don't have that
boring shitty chat that you have with taxi drivers at home.
It's magic. And they just drive like utter, utter, utter
c***s which is great.
The other thing i like is the food. Howard Johnsons's
especially. What a place. Tremendous. Cheap as well. And you
can drink cocktails while having breakfast which is...
pretty much always a bonus.
The city smells like shit, obviously. Not very nice at
all. Probably better in the summer. But it's always good
when you pass a nut stall, cause you always get a free
smell, and three seconds later it smells of shit again.
Some of the shops are nice, but it seems like every second
shop is either an electrical store or diner, and I don't
know what else you can do apart from buy watches and cameras
and eat. I think the highlight for me is Howard Johnson's.
And I'd like to come back here again in a little while cause
I've met a lot of nice people.
I'm not really into flying here or flying back though. But
I suppose it's the only way. If someone could explain to me
how planes stay up I'd be most grateful.

warning: major cynicism ahead. people of a nervous
disposition may want to look away.
cover versions. put decent cover versions on the b-sides of
records. 'reel around the fountain' would be ideal (twas a
real highlight when they played it in glasgow and edinburgh
all those months ago). people will buy the record for the
cover and fall in love with the original stuff - instant
fanbase.
and keep doing things the sarah records way. by which i mean
not putting lp tracks on singles. it means that everything
you buy is all new. it also means that you have to buy all
the singles as you know they won't be on the new lp. (think
of 'thriller' or something where 80% of the album later
turned up as singles - pointless. ok, b&s aren't michael
jackson but...).
10" singles are good too (although i've so many that are
just so poorly pressed...). 2 part cd singles are bad,
especially when filled up with throwaway stuff (tindersticks
anyone?). and, well, the thing that hooked me with the sarah
stuff was the little personal bits like the a4 posters and
the sleevenotes. (b&s are already doing this with the little
tales in each release, and decent covers).
and just keep the records in the shops. went looking for
another copy of '3, 6, 9...' on saturday. easy to find i
thought - chart band and all that. except woolworth's use a
different chart from everyone else. whsmiths only seemed to
stock the top 20 and virgin just had a hole where number 32
should've been. ok, it serves me right for living in such an
armpit of a place but...
