Sinister: HELP! cant get JonathanDavid in Ireland
i mean, as if to add insult to injury! after 1999's guitar-smashing epic at the olypmia, its not enough that B&S seem to have decided that they wont be returning to this fair isle, but now we cant even get the new bloody singe - what is the story?!!! my poor shoes, downtrodden as they are, bravely tramped all around town with me yesterday on our futile search.....turned away at every door, well you know, there are other quite important things i could do with that fiver y'know (though in the event, just bought ice cream and sat in the park) seriously, every record shop says it's a distribution problem with sony ireland, is anyone out there involved with the band even aware of this? do they care?! anxiously awaiting answers trish delish _____________________________________ Get your free E-mail at http://www.ireland.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.

hello, I should introduce myself. My name is Ian and I live in Dublin. Some of you may have read a mail from Rener last week. I am her man-bitch. I went to Scotland to see B&S last weekend (which already seems like an eternity ago), catching the gigs in Aberdeen and the second night in Glasgow. They were a lot of fun, and compared very favourably with the last time I'd seen them. This was in Dublin's Olympia, where the sound was rubbish and the band gave the impression of being completely unrehearsed. That was the gig where Stuart Murdoch got so sulky he smashed his acoustic guitar. And then apologised. This time round it was nice to see that B&S can actually do the business live, and seem to enjoy doing it too. I went to the picnic in Kelvingrove last Saturday, but because I'm *shy* I didn't talk to too many people. and the people I did talk to, I meant to ask them for their e-mail addresses, but I was too *shy* even for that. So George & Rich from DC, Katrina from Halifax, and Marianna from Perth/Londo, mail me offlist if you read this and want to be my special e-mail friends. Thanks to whoever brought the donuts for offering around before I scarfed into them, and to Katrina for the Reeces Peanut Butter Cups or whatever they were. And I was fascinated by the conversation about how a "friend" of a listee used to make seagulls explode by feeding them bread soaked in bicarbonate of soda. I must try that sometime. Trish Brazil was looking for 'Jonathan David' in Dublin, as was I. I eventually found it in Virgin, which surprised me, given that they normally don't have anything by anyone. 'JD' itself is great, a complete romper stomper, and while 'Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner' is not quite as good as other versions I have heard, it still does the job. But 'Take Your Carriage Clock...', what's that all about? Ripping off bad songs like 'I've never been to me' is neither big nor clever. It's interesting the Pinefox should mention "the Great Gatsby", as I've been thinking about that a lot lately. I haven't read it in years, but bits and bobs of it stick in my mind. The eyes of TJ Eckleburg in particular. Anyway, I'm off now. Death to false metal!
