hullo listees, at some in his massive post, ian asked if anyone had an opinion on snow patrol. well, i certainly do. i 'met' the lovely lads last...october was it?...when they played a gig with mogwai here in new york, at brownie's. i didn't actually *see* snow patrol's set...my friend and i were somewhere else, i think...but we started chatting with gary at the bar and he ended up giving up a copy of a demo tape. (mogwai's set, incidentally, was brilliant of course.) my friend and i rushed home to listen to the tape, quite curious as we hadn't seen sp's gig and figuring they were such nice boys *and* on jeepster, they must be all right at least. in the end we were very impressed. they remind one of palace brothers and sebadoh, without being annoyingly low-fi...plus they're northern irishmen living in scotland which is a plus in my book. so ian and anyone who cares, my opinion of snow patrol is a good one. however, i don't think they're releasing anything in the states. i know they were supposed to come back to new york at some point and play again but as far as i know this never happened. i suppose i should be asking katrina about this but if anyone has any info then please do share. the friend who was with me that night, by the way, did get to see them play live when she moved to london and sure enough, true to rumor, jonny did get his, erm, balls out during the gig. well, anyway, snow patrol yah. it's the end of the day and i need to go home... cheers, stasia anastasia signoretta atlantic records international media relations 1290 avenue of the americas 24th floor new york, ny 10104 212.707.2619 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 'but how can i see stars if my feet are on the ground?' ride ------------- Original Text
From "IAN CAMPBELL" <ian.campbell6@virgin.net>, on 9/23/98 3:20 PM: Regarding mr. wimbury
I have a copy of snow patrolÆs album, which I would be happy to tape, if you Æd send me the tape. Also IÆm intending to buy curtains by the tindersticks very soon. So if you want to mail me privately, summat could be arranged. IÆ m not sure what you could repay me with, obviously a copy of Tigermilk is my grail, but weÆre not supposed to mention that, are we? Anyway, if anyone can assistà you know what I mean, nudge nudge, wink wink. Has anyone else an opinion on snow patrol? They played the point in oxford, a week or so gone, with magoo, and they were enthralling. The singer was marginally scary. But this prompted me to buy the album, and whilst buying it in the only independent store in the WHOLE OF ALL OXFORD, I realised I was stood right next to Thom Yorke, and another radiohead bloke. IÆm not a huge radiohead fan, but it was still weird. I couldnÆt bring myself to say anything though, (the people in that shop probably think IÆm weird anyway, I spend so much time in there.), so IÆve been mentally kicking myself for the last week. Anyway this is my first posting, though IÆve been aÆ spyinÆ on yous for a while now, and you all seem thoroughly nice and reading your letters is lovely, because I didnÆt know anybody who really liked B&S before. I wish I could go to a gig, or something, but I donÆt think oxford is really a place where bands think of coming, though B&S played the zodiac last year and I MISSED IT. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I donÆt know how much longer IÆll be on the list, as weÆre a bit poor at the moment and sinister seems not to be my papaÆs priority. IÆve inherited a cardigan from a friend of the family and am wearing it due to no clean clothes, but it smells of cat food, and I am ashamed to leave the house. My infallible logic says if B&S can sell out a venue in oxford, there must be fans in the area. My knowledge of B&S fans says there is a chance some might be on the list. If so IÆd like to hear from you. IÆm getting bored of oxford on my own, and knowing hardly anyone (despite having lived in the area all my life) This has gone on too long, and must be a bit dull to read, so au revoir ma petit poubles (GCSE French gets you a long way, you know), Yours severely, TrailerVille (Strangely, a pseudonym) Ooh. P.S. for the oxfordites, did anyone see, or was anyone the busker in the covered market doing æget me away from here àIÆm dyingÆ? P.P.S, is my address ontop of this? i t ' s . . . ian.campbell6@virgin.net +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
