From a Matador mail-out. It don't say nuffink new but I just liked the fact of B&S being mentioned in the same breath as GG Allin. can't say that happens very often...
Belle & Sebastian - Televised Mayhem The new multi-format smasheroo "Legal Man" entered the U.S. singles chart at No. 47 (No. 15 in the U.K.), which is a very triumphant moment for those of us who believe that quality music is more important than silly charts (which is why we're bragging about the chart numbers). To commemorate these achievments, BELLE & SEBASTIAN appeared on the BBC's venerable "Top Of The Pops" television program this past friday evening. For those of you who haven't seen the show before, try to imagine "American Bandstand" with a lot less dancing. Tabloid rag The Mirror are reporting that the band snuck into the set of the top-rated soap opera "East Enders" and were hauled away by the police. It reminds me of the time GG Allin was booked to appear on "The Morten Downey Jr. Show," but had to hide on the set of "People Are Talking" during a cooking segment, because the police were looking for him. Don't these "peace officers" have anything better to do than harrass musicians? Last time I mailed to the list I got a threatening mail back - and on Christmas Day too. Hopefully there's nothing offensive enough to warrant personal insults or threats to my personal safety in the above. Unless the allusion of Belle and Sebastian to a man that did poos on stage is enough to have me tarred and feathered live in the Sinister chat-room...which has always been a fantasy of mine. nickie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
