Sinister: Belle and Sebastian...on the radio...playing songs for Frenchmen...
Oooh! I've tuned my old radio in, and dusted off my GCSE french, and I'm waiting with bated ears, or something. I haven't listened to french radio since my school days.I keep expecting there to be questions: a) Why is M.Lenoir unhappy? b) How many dogs went missing in Clemont Ferrent? c) What is the mayor of Lyon's hobby? d) Is the mushroom museum open on Wednesdays? I went round a mushroom museum once. Actually that's a lie. I nearly did, but we all went to the troglodyte village instead. It was a school trip; we stayed in a monastry and in the evenings, we'd sneak off to the vineyard to drink cider, and cough on Gauloises. I liked France. You can buy cigarettes when you're very young. There's a cafe on almost every street corner and beer drinking's obligatory. The french for key cutting is tampon. Possibly. I may have made the last bit up. Only a few hours to go. People in southern Britain, you can pick up France Inter easily- it's around 160 long wave-right at the far left of your radio dial, and spreads far either side: it's really easy to find. At least I'm sure that it's France Inter- there's a man getting very angry about Belgian Croissants at the moment. As far as I can make out. The jingles also seem to be written by John Shuttleworth. Bing Bong Bing. Well, here we go. Good luck Belle and Sebastian. Philippe (with one L) wrote: <<Belle & Sebastian will just play. No interview, just music during 50 minutes.>> Surely not just B&S for 50 minutes? They'll get a bit tired...or do you mean I have to put up with 41 minutes of crappy stuff in between? Oh well. We'll see. Thanks for the tip off. I haven't felt this way since I first heard them. I'm so excited :-) oooohhhhh!! seb +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

Hi list! Just a quickie to tell you I was at the radio session yesterday night... What could I say? It was wonderful, once again. Here is the set list (sorry seb, no "Loneliness of a Mid-distance Runner") : The boy done wrong again Dog on Wheels Paper boat Seeing other people Century of fakers I know where the summer goes : during the news, unfotunately Mayfly The wrong girl Dirty dream number two Poupee de cire Poupee de son Slow Graffiti I don't love anyone Sleep the clock around : after 10.30, unfortunately again... Concerning the tapes, I'd love to be able to record a few ones BUT I dont have any double tape player... Sorry. Some of you have complained about Bernard Lenoir and news at the middle of songs... I know, that's a shame, but believe me, he would have preferred a 1 hour session without any interruption... Just to explain the situation in France : there is only one national radio on which you can listen to good music, and only one broadcast on this radio : it's Bernard Lenoir's... Many years ago, he was on a private radio but was fired. A few years ago, he arrived on France Inter (a public radio) and his broadcast lasted 1hour and a half... Now, he still is on this radio station but it lasts only 45 minutes. I know, it's a shame, but you listees have to realise that indiepop is not popular at all in France. So these news interruptions are the price we have to pay to hear Belle and Sebastian on the radio... Sorry again if you were disappointed.
