Hi Sinister follk. Well, firstly, happy Christmas and new year to you all. I am envious of anyone living in the Northern Hemisphere at the moment, because today in New Zealand it is humid as hell, and all I want to do is find some shade and sleep. Secondly, to be honest, I'm not really sure whether I'm even on the list any more. It seems like months since a digest landed in my inbox. Here's hoping ... Anyway, my point, such that it is, is that I was wondering what the best official/unofficial channel for getting in touch with Belle & Sebastian is these days. I'm not sure if anyone is aware of the indie record label I co-run, Lil' Chief Records (www.lilchiefrecords.com), but one of our bands, The Brunettes (who are also signed to Sub Pop in the US and UK) would L.O.V.E. Love to support B&S on some US live dates. We're not quite sure how this whole hooking-up-with-a-more-successful-band-for-a-tour thing actually works, but I'm convinced a Belle & Sebastian and The Brunettes tour would be fantastic. Anyway, if anyone can suggest a more efficient/personal method than merely clicking "contact" on the B&S site, I'd love to know about it. Ok, well, I'm off to find somewhere cool and slightly less humid Love to all Lawrence (former regular poster, now sporadic poster) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
