I'm new to this list having met the band thru uk-indie and last friday I
managed to get the last copy of '3,6,9 seconds of light' in Virgin
Megastore on Ashton quay , the same place I purchased the
previous eps and the album. They never had a large amount of them in
stock though. Sometimes I think i'm the only fan in ireland.
cheers

If you want B&S to have maximum crossover appeal and reach out
to potential fans, then I suggest getting their songs onto
casettes and cds given away with music magazines from time to time.
That's how I discovered Teenage Fanclub and PJ Harvey through
the freebie casettes from Select magazine.
What do you think?
You can have them on 5 track compilation called "Stars of '97" for
the NME/MM/Select/Vox. Then you can reach the mature audience with
a B&S song on a cd compilation for Q/Mojo sandwiched between
Alanis Morrisette and John Hiatt. Don't forget the
drum'n'bass "temple of boom" mix by Goldie for Musik/Mixmag.
I'm not sure how to approach the heavy metal crowd.

since i can't resist lists...
We Rule The School
She's losing it
Century of elvis
like dylan in the movies
judy and the dream of horses
seeing other people (the evening session version especially)
you made me forget my dreams
pocketbook angel
modern rock song
dog on wheels
is that ten? that was harder than i thought it would be...probably too
late as well. never mind.

The point is, for me anyway, that, um, they're in my top ten b&s songs,
and i don't see the point in leaving them out because other people don't
have them...
(oh, somebody else just said that...sorry, i'm a digestee...)

Here's my personal top twenty unforgettable Belle and Sebastian things:
1: on the rag/sleeping bag
2: my dad looks like elvis, etc...
3: that bit when George Michael goes "Ladies and
gentlemen....mister Elton John!"
4: free tea on the National Express
5: the mother of all forward slanting pudding basin haircuts
6: Anders, Anders, Anders and Anders stuck in a train on the
Forth bridge
7: Sarah's unfortunate experience with the Stylophone
8: Seeing the bloke in the local record shop scratching his
head over the little story inside IYFS
9: Hearing my girlfriend/wife/whatever singing "Judy..." without
realizing
it.
10: The "is that your dog then?" comment
11: The expression "oddball popsters"
12: The Jonesy/waiter incident in the little ink movie.
13: Somebody's tin of sweetcorn when it was raining.
14: Keith writing messages when he's pissed
15: Seeing the cover of the new EP for the first time
16: Getting to number 41 in the charts
17: Stuart M forgetting the words all the time
18: Stuart M asking for the lights to be turned on so he
could see the crowd in Barcelona. Absolutely no response
whatsoever. Looked a right plonker.
19: Richard's drum solo in said concert.
20: Hearing John Peel play "...Fakers" on his World Service
programme and follow it up with some "techno rubbish"
and there's more.....

OK, before I even start. That's 3 incorrect entries already, and as for
the latest one, obviously didn't read the book well enough. THE
BOURGOISIE IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT!!! THE MIDDLE CLASS. THE BOURGOISIE IS
THE UPPER, RULING OR OWNING CLASS. IN MARXIST
POLITICS/ECONOMICCS/SOCIOLOGY, THERE ARE 2(TWO) CLASSES-THE PROLETARIAT
(THE WORKERS) AND THE BOURGOISIE-(THE OWNERS OF THE
COMPANIES/INDUSTRIES THAT THE PROLETARIAT WORK IN), AND NO, I REPEAT NO
MIDDLE CLASS. THE BOURGOISIE ARE NOT THE MIDDLE CLASS, THEY ARE THE
OWNING OR UPPER CLASS.
OK. In a related aside, I looked up 'pastie' in a French/English
dictionary yesterday and the closest i could find was 'pastis' meaning
'aniseed aperitif' but also 'muddle, confusion or fix'.
Close, maybe...
Anyway, I'll come back soon with a nice message to properly introduce
myself, but for the moment I was stirred into action by a few people
getting a few important details essentially wrong.
Cheers,
love,
GIDEON THOMAS

Tune in tho', if you fancy:-
Tina Moore
Aqua
Ash
Brand New Heavies
Jimmy Ray
Clock
Smashmouth
exclusive Spice Girls footage from India
911
Peter Andre
What a fucking great line-up.
Just reaffirms that TOTP will not play anything unless it's Top 20.
I ain't onn watch it no more....

And yet ANOTHER B & S Top Ten it just goes on...
1. The Stars of Track and Field
2. Mayfly
3. Lazy Line Painter Jane
4. If your feeling Sinister
5. Dog On Wheels
6. You Made Me Forget My Dreams
7. Seeing Other People
8. La Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
9. Judy and the Dream of Horses
10. Beautiful
By the way is the gig in Manchester on the 29th????? Hopefully they won't cancel there gigs like some other bands I could mention (Geneva -humpf!)
I have started to compile a MS Theme for B & S (are there any already??) but I don't have Tigermilk so if anyone out there thinks there are snippets on there worth using (which of course there must be) could they plse mail me with them in any format (or even if someone is willing to tape it for me??? Will pay for all costs)
Concerning gigs in Man. I should be around and will have an empty house (I think?) so there will be some space here if anyone needs a place to stay.
Also the Rolf Harris thing??? nah B & S should do a Bond Cover (like the new David Arnold thing) Live and Let Die or Goldfinger? YOU DECIDE!!
Out of interest how many ppl from Manchester are actually on this list (just for curiosities sake)

I think Charlotte's experience of getting a message in her BMX Bandits
record is something we could expand on to promote the new B&S offering.
I used to do a comedy show at Uni where we handed out free compliments
to the audience when they bought a ticket. We could stick little
compliments on pieces of paper in the CD cases/record sleeve and it
would be a lovely little something for the unsuspecting record buyer.
Something pretty. An act of random kindness. And we can say pass on this
compliment to someone who needs it. Soon this would develop a momentum
of its own and as it became the "in" thing for the modern hipster, the
media would gain interest and this would raise the profile of our heros!
And hopefully shift a shed load of units.
Anybody who's in desperate need of a compliment can get one from my
website
http://www.zigazigah.mcmail.com - just press the compliment button.

"Me & The Major" - the pause/drums after "Roxy Music in '72".
[Keith Watson]
Christ - I always assumed this was just "Lots of music in '72" - I suppose it could conceivably be Roxy Music, given that their first LP came out then... Oh... I suppose I should check the lyrics on the sleeve.
"Mayfly" - when it starts up again, after seemingly ending.
"Sleep The Clock Around" - when the music stops and leaves the vocals
going, and then starts again (with a vengeance!).
[Keith Watson]
Yes - that's a cracking bit, agreed.
