re: where you can buy belle and sebastian records in the states. i did buy my copy of 'if you're feeling sinister' in an 'indie' shop (other music in new york city) but my brother purchased his in the virgin megastore, if i'm not mistaken. so you *can* indeed find b+s things in the big stores in the us (virgin even had an import copy of '3.6.9' for a hefty $14). then again, this is new york and not the middle-of-wherever...but then *again*, don't all those chain stores sell the same stuff all over the place anyway? i do think that 'arab strap' will have better distribution now that the band is signed to matador here (a 'big' indie label) and their artists tend to do 'well' in an indie sense-of-the-word. anyhow...i have many thoughts on this and other things, but i am at work now and they do keep me busy here. by the way, my name is anastasia. i joined this list yesterday, on the suggestion of my lovely friend lorraine (hi lorry). there were 40 messages in my 'in' box this morning and only three of them were work-related. i work in new york and live...nearby, hullo to all the nyc listees, especially francisco. oh, and if you read my signature, please don't hold my occupation against me...a girl has to eat. cheers, stasia anastasia signoretta atlantic records international media relations 1290 avenue of the americas 24th floor new york, ny 10104 212.707.2619 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 'we're so disco we can't get on in this world anymore...' suede +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
