Sinister: Proposition...
by Paul Forsyth 17 Sep '97

17 Sep '97

>From the bowls of my grey matter comes this idea... I've read about music artists gaining more control of their music by publishing their music via the web, i.e an electronic format, therefore avoiding the publishing companies altogether. Would it be a good idea for Belle and Sebastian to publish Tigermilk in this way via their web site? Would you 'buy' it, or would you like it for free? Would you even listen to it in this form? What about a live internet gig? Any other opinions...? ____________________________________ / \ Paul Forsyth / E: paulf(a)scs.leeds.ac.uk \ Computer Science { W: http://www.scs.leeds.ac.uk/paulf/ } University Of Leeds \ P: +44-113-233-6789 / Leeds LS2 9JT \____________________________________/ United Kingdom ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: a worrying thing
by superbob 17 Sep '97

17 Sep '97

i'm getting kinda scared. well, not scared. worried. i've always been a fanatical album collector. i won't brag about how many albums i have. i'll just say it's probably too much for someone who doesn't own a record store. well, i guess that's a way of bragging, isn't it? oh well. "hey what are you getting at?" askes you.....well, i'll tell you. i've always had the theory that the reason i spend every penny on a new album or single is because i'm always in search of the perfect song. the perfect band. the perfect emotion stated in the perfect way. and i knew it would happen one day. one day my search would be over. it's kind of saddening. enter belle and sebastian. i don't have tigermilk. i've haven't got dog on wheels(yet). and i just recently in the past three weeks purchased sinister. i go through phases, as i'm sure all of you do, where i get a new album and i may stop listening to my favorite-band-of-the-moment for a while. or i'll listen to nothing but a band that i'm about to see in concert and after the show, i hang em up for three or four months. it all depends on what i want to hear when i wake up. but since i've got sinister, none of those other albums mean anything. sinister is everything i ever looked for in an album. b & s are everything i ever looked for in a band (and i don't know a damn thing about them). and i listen to nothing but sinister all day every day for three weeks now. and that's not all such a good thing. remember when stone roses "stone roses" came out? i listened to nothing but that album for months upon months. and i'm sure a lot of you on this list did the same. now i haven't picked it up in a couple of years, but i still know what perfection it was and how it made me feel. i'm worried that sinister one day will become "stone roses". and i know i should listen to other things so as not to wear it out, but i can't. today i bought the new cornershop and i only got through the first three songs before i decided i'd rather be listening to sinister. "why are you wasting my time by making me read this?" askes you agayn. i dunno. i guess because the people on this list are the only other people i have some sort of contact with (no matter how feeble it is), that would understand. now i feel like some elitist fanboy. the type i've always hated. oh well. -brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Snow Patrol

Sorry, not entirely B&S related this one (oh, okay then, barely even remotely B&S related), but does anyone know what time Snow Patrol are playing tonight? (at the Camden Crawl) - I need to know if I have to leave work early.

-----Original Message----- From: Paul Forsyth [SMTP:paulf@scs.leeds.ac.uk] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 1997 11:30 AM To: 'B&S mailing list' Subject: Sinister: Proposition... >From the bowls of my grey matter comes this idea... I've read about music artists gaining more control of their music by publishing their music via the web, i.e an electronic format, therefore avoiding the publishing companies altogether. Would it be a good idea for Belle and Sebastian to publish Tigermilk in this way via their web site? Would you 'buy' it, or would you like it for free? Would you even listen to it in this form? What about a live internet gig? Any other opinions...? [Keith Watson] It's a nice idea but to download the whole album at 44K a second makes : 44*60 = 2640K per minute 2640 * 45 = 118800K = 118 Megabytes, which at a probable maximum throughput of around about 3K a second (at least in the UK) would be around about 11 hours to download, which could wind up being rather costly - again, this'll be in the land of non-free local telephone calls - so if you had to buy it (which, lets face facts, would be only fair), you'd have to pay another 13 quid or so on top of the actual price of the album. Granted that'd be loads less than the 200 quid asking price at the moment, but still. Chris told me last christmas that they were going to release it on CD soon, however soon that he told me they weren't going to release it in the forseeable future. The reason for this I reckon, is basically, the mystique that having a brilliant unavailable album creates, it generates so much interest in the band it's untrue, I'm sure they will eventually release it, but it just seems that it's more beneficial to them not to release it.

Sinister: elton and B&S
by Johnston, John CT 16 Sep '97

16 Sep '97

Yesterday I was in Tower Records Picadilly trying to buy "3,6,9 Seconds of Light" (well nobody told me it wasn't comming out then). Obviously they didn't have it which made me sad. But they were playing "Lazy Line Painter Jane" as I entered the building which made me very happy after a day in the office. As I was leaving I was struck by how long the queue was and how odd it was to see a long line of middle-aged Japanese men here in a thrusting-young-buck music store. And the were all buying handfulls of Elton's single - 5 or 6 at a time! It was a thing that made me go 'hmmm'. xx john ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Press Release
by Jeepster 16 Sep '97

16 Sep '97

Belle and Sebastian 3,6,9 Seconds of Light EP Released October 13th 1997 Featuring the songs: Century of Fakers Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie Beautiful Put The Book Back On The Shelf "Hello, I've been asked to write a Press Release for this, our latest record. I have never written one before. I have never seen any of our previous Press Releases. I don't have access to one, so I can't copy it. I'm in the group, I play the guitar. I assume this goes out to journalists at the newspapers and the music press. I have not read that much on the group previously, but I believe we have done quite well with regards to exposure in the press: mostly positive, occasionally ecstatic and sometimes quite derisory. I don't care, I love it all. It's great reading about your group in the press, including the inevitable inaccuracies (but that somehow only adds to the fun). One thing though... Much has been made of our unwillingness to do interviews and be photographed. I don't understand it. During the early summer you couldn't open a magazine without someone in the bands mug and words of wisdom staring back up at you. I suppose if we get perceived as awkward, contrary, Scottish Indie Popsters, that's the way it goes. I'm not complaining, it's only Showbiz and i'm quite grateful for all the attention. Right now we are making more records and attempting to get better at playing gigs. I know we are a shambles, but we've only played about ten shows and the gaps between songs etc are caused through ineptitude. We could never be deliberately contemptuous of an audience and we are trying to get better - HONEST! Which brings me to our latest record. It's really good, and I like it a lot. Track 2 is my favourite, although wee Chris on keyboards thinks it sucks. Track 4 is a really good song, which I think we could have done a lot better, although Mark at the record company went wild for it. Well, so much is in the ear of the beholder I guess. Anyway, I hope you like it. Love, Stevie." And I hope you all like the Press Release! Definite Release date for the "3, 6, 9 ... EP" is now the 13th ... Sorry to everyone who thought it came out yesterday (15th). Vital didn't update their release sheets, so it's not really our fault ... :) ! Any queries, please feel free to phone or write to us at - Snail mail: Unit 217 Canalot Production Studios 222 Kensal Road London W10 5BN Phone: 0181 964 9432 or 0181 964 9434 Fax: 0181 964 8600 David (Kitchen .. lovely boy is he!) is setting up a web-site for us ... I think there's a page at http://freespace.virgin.net/jeepster.uk/home.htm, so maybe check there for other Jeepster bands etc. And, i'm probably more likely to answer my e-mails at home rather than work, so send them either to jeepster.uk(a)virgin.net or d.kitchen(a)virgin.net, either way, i'll get back to you. Radio should start playing the new EP beginning next week-ish, so stay tuned - especially to Jo Whiley as she LOVES them as much as we do! Thanks everyone for all your support!

by David & Katrina 16 Sep '97

16 Sep '97

I've just done a few more small updates to the site. 1- Lyrics for the 3..6..9 Seconds Of Light e.p. Well one of the songs anyway. The others will be on the site when the e.p. is released. 2- updated site map. 3- updated merchandise and orderform pages. (as we've now got LARGE sized t-shirts in both colours.). You can order Large T-shirts whenever you want as we've now got them. We'll have credit card facilities in about 2 weeks too! Anyway, have a look and read the lyrics, they're lovely.
