Hi Everybody Just in case it slipped under your radar, I'm posting to tell you that Isobel Campbell appears on the new Mount Vernon Arts Lab LP The Seance At Hobs Lane; she plays viola on the song 'The Black Drop' and, er, that's all. She's very good on it. The LP's the usual MVAL sort of thing, sounding like music by and for Cybermen and Clangers. I love it to pieces, but maybe best to hear before buying. There's a web site: http://mval.topcities.com, with more information and possibly some downloadable sound clips. The LP doesn't seem to be on a label as such, but it's distributed in Britain (well, certainly in Scotland) by Cargo Distribution. Oh aye, while I'm in a recommending mood, go out and buy the LP club anthems 2001 by ballboy (they don't go in for capital letters much) because it's brilliant. Except don't bother if you have their three EPs because this collects them together with about two extra songs. If you're not familiar with them, they're a bit like Belle & Sebastian if Stuart David had taken over instead of forming Looper. Well, sort of. The LP's on SL Records (Lone 11); website is www.listen.to/ballboy. Hope everyone's keeping well David A +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
