Sinister: Tigermilk Instrumental or Felt cover? And do you want to trade for it?
Well... I wonder if that is the longest title to a post ever. Well, I have obtained a copy of the Tigermilk instrumental from a friend who wishes to be nameless. There are two versions I have of the so-called Tigermilk instrumental. One is just the song itself, which sounds remarkably like Felt playing a Felt song, so I am forced to wonder if it is a cover, or if it is even the band themselves at all. But the other version makes me think it is the band. Stuart David reads four Ink Polaroids overtop of a *very* quiet Tigermilk instrumental. They're all from his book, aren't they? Anyway, it's summarily wonderful, be it a cover or even him reading overtop of a Felt song, it's ace. Does anyone know the truth of this? Cover or original, Felt or B&S, who or what is it? Also, if anyone is interested in obtaining a copy of these two gorgeous gems, as well as anything from the now rather sizable collection of unreleased bits and sessions I have procured, I am missing some things. One would be those silly Black Sessions, and I would prefer a good copy if I could get one. I don't have too many bootlegs, either, might be nice to acquire some more of those. Please write me with your trades lists and I'll write back with mine. I've got some nice things like Rhoda, a version of Middle Distance Runner far superior from the Beat Patrol version, that Session they did in Amsterdam, and some other lovely things. Ah, in other news, Matt, I realize you may have conceptualized B&S-opoly in the days before man conceptualized "fire," but how close are you now to actually producing a copy of said B&S-opoly, I must ask? Not very, I'd wager. Whereas I am so close that all I have to do is some quick decision-making and writing on game pieces. Of course there is money in my game...but that's Life...no, sorry, that's a different game. Oh, bad joke... Anyway, I hope everyone has a lovely New Year's, especially "Stuart's Mother," ;) /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick/Sandcastle Records <<->> bp224995@ohiou.edu \ / Sandcastle Records Homepage: ICQ#5056758 | | http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/4972/ | | "I am always wishing to make people | | in the world happy with my smiles." | | -Mr. Friendly +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

sounds like someone trying to be funny with you, or just not being very smart, i dunno... the track 'Tigermilk' hasn't surfaced anywhere as a bonafide recording as far as i know, although there's live recordings kicking around i'm sure. i'm sure the song you are actually referring to is not a Felt cover, it just IS Felt. It's a song called 'A Preacher In New England' and it was the flip side of the 'Penelope Tree' single. That's the song that Stuart reads the Ink Polaroids over anyway... so if the unadorned song is the same as that, then it is Felt and not B&S. Sorry to dissappoint, but hell, isn't it a beautiful song? The duchess and i were discussing Felt and The Go-Betweens last night strangely enough, in the pub, as we drank too much Rioja and scoffed Tapas in honour of Meester Miller. Later we danced to St Etienne. Which was nice. keep the faith, the duke ------------------------------------------ 'what's the name they call ones like us?' ------------------------------------------ Tangents On-Line http://www.tangents.co.uk PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK editor@tangents.co.uk ------------------------------------------ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

This was my sneaking suspicion as soon as I heard the song myself. It was bolstered by the fact that a different friend of mine offered to tape me a recording of them doing an Ink Polaroid over a Felt song ;) Oh well, one can hope...

Indeed, it is. Incidentally, to those people still interested in trading me stuff, despite the fact that I don't have the *real* Tigermilk instrumental, I now have a copy of the Black Sessions (unless someone backs out) and please *please* don't send me bootleg lists of other bands (unless the other band is the Field Mice). I'm not obsessive about bootlegs or other bands enough to collect any by bands other than B&S or the Field Mice, and I hate telling people no... Also, people have offered to send me cassettes or money, and I can't do these because I'd be making way too many tapes if I did, and I'm just too lazy for that. It's not as if I'm the only one who has these songs, anyway. No one's offered me any sexual favors, though...yet. I am flustered, however, that I went and made myself a B&S tape before I got this recent cassette. Now it looks so incomplete without an Ink Polaroid, and there's a bit in the Amsterdam Session where Stevie introduces each member of the band by name, and that would have fit so perfectly onto the beginning of the tape. (sigh). Oh well, I hope David & Katrina get back soon to give us some news on the next EP and upcoming Tigermilk reissue...*crosses fingers* /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick/Sandcastle Records <<->> bp224995@ohiou.edu \ / Sandcastle Records Homepage: ICQ#5056758 | | http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/4972/ | | "I am always wishing to make people | | in the world happy with my smiles." | | -Mr. Friendly +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
