hullo lorelei and everyone else, yeah, you know...i thought about my pale saints comment after i'd already hit 'send' and realised that i must have too much belle and sebastian on the brain, their influence is creeping into everything i listen to and making me make comparisons that aren't exactly spot-on. it was the singing thing, i tell you. lorraine's comparison to blueboy is much more adept, cheers lor. singing thing again...folkly bits too. and now i leave you as i whimper over the brand-new coffee stain on my baby blue t-shirt... stasia anastasia signoretta atlantic records international media relations 1290 avenue of the americas 24th floor new york, ny 10104 212.707.2619 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 'but how can i see stars if my feet are on the ground?' ride ------------- Original Text

maybe i'm crazy, but if belle and sebastian were around

during the good old shoegazer days of 1991 and rocked out a bit more, wouldn't the band then be reminiscent of the saints? call me crazy...

hmm... i don't know about that- perhaps stuart's vocals remind you of ian masters'. they do both have that thick-in-the-throat sound. same goes for he out of blueboy, whose name escapes me. and ed ka-spel (legendary pink dots) pale saints were far too drenched in reverb and cascading drums to be like b&s. lorraine p.s. how did "only tongue can tell" go? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com InetReceived: from gatekeeper.wmg.com by corp.wmg.com via 207.142.212.98 with SMTP-TCP; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 9:59:27 EDT InetReceived: from internalif.wmg.com ([207.142.212.97]) by gatekeeper.wmg.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id JAA15011 for <Anastasia_Signoretta@wmg.com>; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 09:50:32 -0400 (EDT) InetReceived: from f233.hotmail.com ([207.82.251.124]) by internalif.wmg.com via smtpd (for gatekeeper.wmg.com [207.142.212.98]) with SMTP; 24 Sep 1998 13:57:09 UT InetReceived: (qmail 426 invoked by uid 0); 24 Sep 1998 13:57:05 -0000 InetReceived: from 208.241.84.4 by www.hotmail.com with HTTP; Thu, 24 Sep 1998 06:57:05 PDT +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
