evenin all. ok, i may well be very mistaken here, and if i am, you may beat me with a lamb chop... preferably on my bottom. :o) Were B&S asked to do a bit on Top of the pops on the release of the last single ?? but due to other commitments couldnt do it. If this is the case, will they have a little time to go on there to do Modern Rock Song.? I can just imagin the croud going from watching the tamperer sing some god awful tune, to seeing B&S. !!

Maybe someone has already answered your question, as I had so many postings piled up in my box, that I have not read all of them arriving after yours.But yes, they were bound to play in Top of the Pops because of Lazy Painter Jane but it only got 41st not 40th in the charts. i doubt they would have accepted the offer, anyway Arantxa +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

To be considered for TOTP you basically have to debut in the Top 20 with your midweek and not go outside the 30 ... so, B&S haven't really been eligible up until now, and neither will they be with the "This Is Just A Modern Rock Song" EP as it is four tracks. (for those of you who are unfamiliar with the UK chart rules, a single may only be eligible for the charts if it is 3 tracks and 20 minutes maximum). Belle & Sebastian have always said that if they get asked, they will play TOTP ... hopefully we'll get a chance with the next EP (which, btw, i have no idea what's on it, and indeed if/when it will be released). cheers, Katrina. -- ************************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - mailto:a-and-r@jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, uk phone - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

actually this is usually true - but menswear appeared on TOTPs without even a recording contract. so hypothetically they just have to think you are the cat's pajamas. oh, and don't ask me how I know that. please. -t.e.r.i. http://hampshire.edu/~tdzF94/ - Inspired by the writings of the eighteeth century Venetian gambler, eroticist and spy.
