Well, we at Jeepster finally heard the tracks of which the album will be selected last weekend. Richard and Isobel came down to London bringing the elusive CD with them. Listening to the CD made me remember just why I fell in love with this band in the first place. The recordings sound fresh and new and (dare i say it!) professional [...] Tentative release date for the LP looks to be late August/early September ... we still don't have a title!
Look, there's not nearly enough excitement being generated on the list about this. It's been about eight months since the last EP and almost a year and a half since the last album. You should all be climbing up the wall and refusing all offers of assistance, by now You know what I think? I think everyone's afraid to say that they don't really like Belle and Sebasatian anymore and are only subscribed to this list to swap notes on picnic etiquitte and Air imports. And meet girls. Well I'm going to generate some excitement all on my own. WOOOOSSSHHH! Bring on the next set of piss poor Postcard-era Orange Juice imitations and make it snappy! Because it hasn't been snappy, has it? It should have been finished months ago and reliable sources tell me that it has gone way way over budget. Is this their Apocalypse Now? Exciting new song titles to chew over: The Gate, Space Boy Dream, I Know Where the Summer Goes and It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career. Perhaps the last of these is the one they played in Manchester that I'm sure I heard the line "He had a stroke at 25" in. A sorry tale. Any ideas for the album's title?

Secretly, in my own little way, I am whooping at the prospect of a new album. But then I remember what's going to happen in 2 weeks time and the cheerfulness deserts me again... Although the prospect of meeting girls always cheers me up slightly...

"I Know Where Summer Goes" was played on the Sunday night at Manchester, about halfway through the set. Can't remember the lyrics, I'll have to have another listen sometime.
Any ideas for the album's title?
How about "This Is Pish"? Stuart G ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Yeah, that's the one. I heard a .wav-file of the first few lines and they went: He had a stroke at the age of 25, It could have been a brilliant career, Painting lines, at a school which was too well known. Is it me or have they some sort of line-painting fixation? I think we should be told. Nice to see more Cambridge people coming out of the woodwork. I think we are planning to have a picnic at the end of the exam period. Good luck everyone. Mark ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
