Re[2]: Sinister: Arab Strap / some questions for the faq
um, this sounds like a question for the faq... (dave!) me:
two of b&s played on the arab strap peel session kate: ooh...have B&S done stuff with any other bands do you know???
well, chris plays with v-twin (doesn't he?) and the trumpetter had another band until recently. and then there's polar bear which i've been meaning to ask someone about. a friend has the polar bear single and says there's some b&s involvement there (and it's on electric honey records) but i haven't been able to find a copy and i know nothing... other questions for the faq whilst i'm here (i posted these a couple of days ago. unfortunately i posted them to the wrong place. not the first time (he says, looking at the TO: field and realising that paul's gonna have to forward this message as well!) and it won't be the last) - the names of everyone in the publicity shots and cover shots. - addresses / descriptions of all the place names that crop up like cava, the (misspelt) grovener cafe, easterhouse - unreleased songs including things only played live like 'reel around the fountain' and that associates song that gets mentioned in 'ink polaroids' - lists of alternative phrases that stuart's instead of 'c&a' (or is it debenhams where the tables are moved?) whilst playing live ('prince's street' in edinburgh, 'oxford street' in london). yeah, ok, it's a short list... 8) er, that's all... (except to throw in a few more brackets (just for the sake of it)) andy who'd like to remind duke (who's just about to come into some demos by the sound of it) of the couple of tapes i've sent him in the recent past... 8) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

yes that IS a girl. i think i posted before and said she was a friend of Stuart Murdoch's, and is the subject of several songs, notably perhaps String Bean Jean. The dow, called 'Patch' belongs to her. She was also the cover star of Tigermilk, and Tigger, from that sleeve, is also hers'. (if you haven't seen the cover of Tigermilk check Andy Dean's site...). THis is also possibly a stumbling block for a re-issue of TM, in that i doubt very much if she wants to have her picture reproduced yet again, and in the quantities which it would be if TM were reissued. i'd say expect a different sleeve if it ever does come out again, or someone to be in a huff. other credits details: Andrew Symington who has been doing the sleeves is a glasgow friend of the band. He went to the Glasgow School of Art just after me, and i heard he was writing a thesis on Postcard records, but i don't know if he changed his mind on that one. he used to run the 'Divine' club nights in the Art School, and the 'Tummy Hop' club too. Probably more... He's been asked to DJ at the new 'Pastelism' nights apparantly. hope this tangential information is of interest to someone besides me :-) the duke. -- Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ Tangents On-Paper: PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@mail.zynet.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
