Sinister: 3, 6, 9 and Mark Radcliffe (not the DJ debate, however)
by ten seconds to midnight 16 Sep '97

Hullo. I think we should email Mark Radcliffe lots and ask, no, tell him to make 'A Century of Fakers' as his Worm Of The Week whenever possible. Apologies to non-UK people. Well, you could email him too I suppose - mark.radcliffe(a)bbc.co.uk or something like that I think. b'bye. clv. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

>>>that their American label, the Enclave, have gone 'belly up' (is this true?) so consequently the place was full of industry types. yes, the Enclave did close it's doors. I should know I use to work with them. and yes, there were a lot of industry types in the house all of them asking: "how can I get a copy of Tigermilk?" spoke with Stuart David briefly after the show and he said they were meeting with a few labels while they were in NY, but so far they like the vibe at Matador...

Sinister: Free Tea on the Glasgow bus
by Stip / Blue Music 16 Sep '97

16 Sep '97

First I realise anyone's noticed is when the hostess lady on the bus from London to Glasgow taps me on the shoulder. I can't hear what she's saying because my personal stereo's too loud. I take my headphones off and look sheepishly at her, wiping my eyes and trying to smile. She's made me a cup of tea because I look so upset. She's noticed I've been looking out of the window crying for nearly an hour and she's worried about me. I don't think she really understands when I explain that the reason I'm crying is not because of any crisis but because I'm listening to such lovely songs. I am, of course, listening to Belle and Sebastian. And so I find yet another reason to love this band. Because they get me free tea on the National Express. -- Nicola M Stip / Blue Music www.stip.demon.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Brad ,I Ordered a Mazzy Star cd single from them and was very impressed with their service.They were fast and send order status's by e-mail. I too am impressed with their good taste.That's one of the wonders of the net I can order rare european cd singles from Italy and have them sent to California in a short time.

Sinister: peel and b&s
by Andrew Dean 16 Sep '97

16 Sep '97

must chime in with stuff about peel and b&s. yes, radcliffe did get behind the band first and did a good job (strangely he played 'you're such a baby' first before playing 'state...' to death) with the sessions and all. but when peel had to play 'state...' during last years festive fifty he said something about having to borrow the radcliffe show's copy which he'd sent to them in the first place. and no, b&s aren't really a peel band, they're a bit too soft for him i think. yep, peel plays a lot of stuff that some people won't like. but you get used to it and end up liking it in the end. also, if you look at radio 1 these days you'll find a lot of specialist shows (the rap show, the jungle show, andy kershaw's thing, the evening session to some extent) that are there to showcase music that was formerly only available on peel's show. also, there's a lot more to peel than the music he plays... oh, and try the 'breeze block' section of mary ann hobbs' show (12 til 1 weekdays). (all these things are available via real audio on the radio 1 web page for you curious foreigners, www.bbc.com/radio1 ) um, and two blocks down from the nyc gig there were murals on the walls eulogising diana. i thought i'd done good skipping the country the day before elton john was due to sing and missing the 4 channels worth of funeral coverage only to get to america and find that all 7 channels that i had access too were full of it. and did jeffrey archer appear as much on english tv as he did on the american coverage? arsehole. (almost as bad as the american presenter speaking to somebody from coventry 'which is in the north of england'.) andy who did actually think of shouting out 'candle in the wind' but luckily only an hour after the gig in the car home. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Something like "Fox in the Snow" might be a good end of > the night smoocher. Especially if it's snowing outside. > You could play it after "Foxy Lady" and "Fox on the Run". > And you could say, "this one's for all you sly old foxes > out there prrrrowling the dance floor looking for some lurve action in the chicken coop...there'll be feathers flying tonight....grrrrrrowwll!" Yes - I was thinking something along these lines, talking about covers, I thought, given My Life Story's recent cover of "Duchess" by the Stranglers and Omar's current cover of their "Golden Brown", I though Belle and Sebastian might join in... perhaps "Bring on the Nubiles" or even... wait I can see it now... "Waiting for the Meninblack"! What an ace idea, just slap a picture of Will Smith on the front and call it a film tie in - make a million bucks! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re: Picture Quality

> So come on people, if we're going to have to > read about your private > moments when we've never met you, lets at least > have some nicely composed, > in focus piccies to look at. ah, but you're forgetting that real life isn't nicely composed or in focus a lot of the time... coming back yesterday, overnight flight, saw the sun coming up just as we reached british airspace and we were above the clouds and all and it was spectacular. but i was in an aisle seat about 6 feet from the minute window, over the wing too so i had to jiggle about in my seat in order to see more than a few inches of it at a time. then on the train on the way back there was this girl with the nicest brown eyes but she kept closing them and the train was rattling about like they do and my glasses were smudged so... (sat looking at the bernhard newman paintings in the museum on modern art in new york last thursday, great plains of colour crossed with lines of different colours and the whole thing was so big that my glasses (being as thick as they are) curved all the edges so i never saw it as it was intended to be seen). and i've a nasty feeling that all the photos i took in philadelphia, photos i will never get another chance to take, are victims of the cheap camera i was using - it was making some very strange noises whilst i was widning the film on... d'you see? andy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
