So, after getting more obsessed with Belle&Sebastian as each day passes I decided to try and track down a copy of Tigermilk.. I mean (I asked myself) How hard can it really be? I live in London with a whole plethora of record shops, I'll find a dusty old copy somewhere no problem.
Susannah, you're a hero. I don't rate your chances but I'm very impressed - keep the journal coming. Meanwhile: here's a stupid idea. It always seems to me that a reasonably surprising number of people on this list hint at having a copy (and you're all too polite to brag, but you want to, go on). So how many of the 1000 copies can we track down? There's 322 people on the list but Susannah and I don't have a copy so that brings it down to 320 so far... So for anyone with a real vinyl copy, or who KNOWS anyone with a copy, let us know: 1. Owner name, location (not house number or I'll break in) 2. Where you got it 3. Are they individually numbered, in which case tell us your serial number 4. Coffee-stains, scratches that tell a tale Send all this to the list with the subject "TIGERMILK REGISTER" and I'll set up a Tigermilk register on the WWW page... Impress your friends! Rung rings around your insurance company! While I'm here two other things: 1. Someone mentioned the Ink Polaroids competition - some of the judges have judged honestly so your efforts haven't been forgotten! I suspect the hold-up is the problem David and Katrina are having with their PC but watch this space... 2. The search page on the Sinister WWW page below is NOW working PROPERLY. Not spewing out gallons of rubbish when you search by full text. Sorry to anyone who wasted their time before. Have to dash - scrumptiously scarey Mogwai LP to listen to and Bev is just pouring her first G&T for Ange on BBC2... (non-UK readers get an extra prize for recognising this one..)
