Subject: Sinister: TIME OUT review

      *---*      HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES    *---*

I've never done an informative sensible post before so here goes:

Time Out  Sept 2-9 issue;-

'We'll call it a transitional album, if only for the fact that Stuart Murdoch
doesn't hog all the songwriting credits. This, of course, can only be a good
thing. The more different members compete to create something worthy of an
already formidable brand name, the better the music gets.
For evidence, look no further than 'Is it Wicked Not To Care?' which rubs
shoulders with the best of B&S's canon. It was written by the violinist (sic)
Isobel- presumably for inclusion between  The Velvet Underground's ' I'll Be
Your Mirror' and 'The Happiest Girl In The World' by fellow Glaswegians Biff
Bang Pow! on a C90 labelled 'vulnerable'.
Stevie the guitarist has chipped in with a couple too: a plaintive ode to New
York fanzine 'Chickfactor'; and 'Seymour Stein', seemingly about blowing out
dinner with a US record company mogul. Really though, its a song about
perspective, plain and simple, whose expansive melancholia barely prepares you
for Stuart David's ensuing contibution. Replace Jim Morrison with a Scottish boy
and Augustus Pablo on melodica and lo! - The Doors' LA Woman' turns into 'A
Space Boy Dream'!
And among all this - perhaps because of the new colours surrounding it - Stuart
Murdoch's music glows ever brighter: the beat-boogie of the title track; and
'Simple Things', whose concise elegance tips the pendulum more towards
quintessential than typical. So many ace songwriters. Just one band. Shouldn't
someone call the Monopolies and Mergers Commision?

Blinder.

Belle and Sebastian THE BOY WITH THE ARAB STRAP | MATADOR

BY CHRIS LEHMAN | "If You're Feeling Sinister," the de facto debut
offering from Scottish Wunderkinder Belle and Sebastian, was a bracing
but exhilarating primer in long-neglected pop fundamentals. Unassuming
front man Stuart Murdoch delivered closely observed, sly and morose
songs; the rest of the band supplied spare but hypnotically tuneful
backing. It was the kind of seamless folk-inflected pop that the word
"winsome" was invented to describe.

Now, of course, the eminently justified critical embrace of "If You're
Feeling Sinister" casts a long and almost certainly unfair shadow on the
band's new disc, "The Boy With the Arab Strap." And just as
understandably, the new disc finds the band in a restless, experimental
mood. The short opening character study, "It Could Have Been a Brilliant
Career," segues briskly into the insistent, synth-heavy rhythms of
"Sleeping the Clock Around," only to lurch back to folkie introspection
in a listless ode to clotted affect, "Is It Wicked Not to Care?"

But it's also around here that the listener starts getting suspicious:
The tag line of the song's outro chorus is "Would you love me till I'm
dead?" a direct lift from the outro chorus of "Northern Sky," by the
ethereal '70s folkie Nick Drake, one of Belle and Sebastian's most
frequently cited musical ancestors. It seems that Murdoch and company
are starting to tire of their own sense of youthful self-discovery and
have set about indulging in the postmodern game of cataloging
influences.

Indeed, many of the new disc's songs seem like little more than
involuted studies in pop allusion: The supremely ill-advised venture
into Glaswegian trip-hop, "Spaceboy Dream," for example, sounds like a
shotgun wedding between John Cale and A Tribe Called Quest. "Seymour
Stein," a labored depiction of an uncool record company executive,
sounds like Love's Arthur Lee on a particularly smug day. Even the more
musically robust and interesting tracks, such as "The Roller Coaster
Ride" and "Dirty Dream #2," don't stir themselves lyrically to address
anything more than an assortment of ill-defined "troubles" and the
band's own chronic sense of aimlessness.

You certainly don't want to give up on a band as promising and as
abundantly gifted as Belle and Sebastian. But too much of "The Boy With
the Arab Strap" defies you to do just that.

Subject: Sinister: B&S reviews, SF party and oh so much MORE!

      *---*      HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES    *---*

well, to be honest the more negative reviews of "TBWTAS" are kind of a
refreshing change.  If *every* article gave it five stars and gushed about
how heartbreakingly beautiful every single song was I think it *could* be a
big let-down to people like me who haven't heard it.  
Sometimes when something is SO hyped and you're killing yourself in
anticipation of it, that no matter how wonderful it is when it finally
happens, it can't possibly live up to the expectations you've set. can
anybody back me up on this??
*****
Remember that Bay Area listening party that was cancelled?? In order to
further complicate matters, Matador finally contacted me today (the
reasoning being better late than never, I suppose?) and I shall very soon
have a copy of the album in my possession.  Therefore, i implore *anyone*
who is still interested in a Labor Day get-together to contact me ASAP.  
E-mail: Twidmer@xil.com
Call me at work: (415) 477-8766 leave a message if no answer.
********
Finally, I should know better than to tell you this (as it will severely
diminish this wee kitten's chance of getting one) but I spoke with a guy at
Mod Lang record shop in Berkeley & he said that they are trying to obtain
posters to give away with the purchase of "TBWTAS". However, the record
company hasn't answered them either way, so they don't know for sure yet. He
also said there is some problem they are having with getting the vinyl
version of TBWTAS and it probably won't be available on Tues.

Please forgive my delay in getting back to you on competition progress, but
I've not been here I've been on holiday in Glencoe with miss julia where
the little midges ate me silly.  Little fuckers. 

Anyway, the competition.  Some statistics before I start:

writing a computer system to work the scores out.  Cheers.

Subject: Sinister: I'm only lucid when I'm riding...well, trains actually

      *---*      HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES    *---*

       I wasn't going to post today, but then I thought, aw, shucks, all you
Connex South Eastern fans want to know about my day.
       Well alright then, I'll tell you.<sits down and makes ooohh, that's
better noises like an old man sipping a cup of tea>
        As I staggered into the booking hall, a man in a very smart cepe tried
to sweep me up. 'sorry' I said though it wasn't my fault, 'you'll have to go
away' he said 'we're tidying this area up.'
So I skulked off to the platforms, and lo! there were a host of beautiful
people in lovely blue and yellow suits, and happy cheery cockney types in
pristine day-glo boiler suits all busying around and doing their jobs properly
like the plastic people you get moulded to your Hornby train set. And they
herded the slightly scuffed real people to the very end of the platform. 'Stay
here' they said, 'there's a special train coming it's not for you keep away
from it. Important people are coming' 
And as I looked around the huddle, I saw a beautiful girl looking wistfully at
the Travellers Fare. And I saw that she was the absolute spit of Isobel.
We all got on our dirty old train, and I decided that it surely was Isobel,
taking a day off from her hectic P!O!O! star life, and enjoying a recreational
trip to Royal Tunbridge Wells. And why not? We have an animatronic Beau Nash,
and T!W!O! branches of Boots, the chemist. 
So I hummed 'Is it wicked not to care', allowing the lovely tune to waft
around the carriage, in an attempt at subtle communication. If she harmonised,
I'd know it was fate! 
Sadly as I'd just come out of the pub the song turned into a hugest BURRP!
known to man, and the none too subtle aroma of stale bitter filled the
suddenly much smaller compartment.
Isobel looked at me as if I was Albert Steptoe and the moment was lost, for
ever.

I also dreamt that Stuart was running over all the flowers in the world in his
great big bus. I rang the bell, but he carried on until every one was
flattened. 
Right, I'm sure I've tried your patience enough by now.
Not long to go now, kids
love, seb

weekend a few years back I bought the 4 CD The Who -> box set the Friday
before Labor Day at a major store (Best Buy) when it wasn't due to be released
to the Tuesday after the holiday.  It happens sometimes cuz holiday shipments
get shipped early by distributors.   It's not like anyone goes and advertises
it.   You didn't hear the information from me.   We don't do any advertising
for our small ma & pa record store. I didn't offer them for sale to anyone
here.   Did I mention the name of the store?  No, I didn't, did I?

hello everybody,
just to say, i think i will be at the pre gig gathering tomorrow in leeds,
although i am slightly worried about attempting to gather and then being too shy
to say anything to anybody, as i am wont to do. anyway, whether i gather
successfully or not, i will enjoy the gig immensely, i am sure, as i am very
excited about it. 
as for the mouse, well, i haven't seen him since i returned him to his freedom,
but i don't often walk up to where we released him. it was quite near an old
people's home, so if the brief domesticity had a permanent effect on him he
could have taken up residency there, and might be nibbling at old people as we
speak. or rather, as i type. or as you read, whatever.
it isn't that i'm not sentimental (i am, hopelessly so), but i have plenty of
animals to worry about without the mouse. i regard myself in a kind of fostering
role, rather than an adopting role, with that one. a sort of
pippa-off-home-and-away character, only without the enormous skirts.
leeds again - i am a short, dark person, and my friend is a tall curly haired
person of the male gender. if you see us, and feel inclined, say hello.

Hello Folks,

	I've been a member of this list long enough. It's about time I started
participating in all the conversation. My name is Aaron and I live in
Brooklyn, New York. I have every intention of meeting as many of you as I can
at the concert on the 1st of November and at the picnic, which I hope to
attend. 
	At this point I will proceed to bore those of you still reading with the
details of my day (yes, there is some B&S content).
	After seeing There's Something About Mary for the second time I went back to
my friend Maurice's house. I stayed there for dinner since my own family were
all out for various reasons. Maurice is one of the many people who I am trying
to turn on to Belle & Sebastion. I had brought my copy of Dog on Wheels over
to his house and he put it on just as his mother half asked half forced me to
help prepare dinner. Then a strange thing happened. Beneath the din of a
household with four children, a frazzled mother and a tired friend helping to
prepare dinner (you have all probably heard similar sounds in your own homes
at hectic moments) came the familiar sound of Stuart Murdoch ("When I was a
boy i was confounded by you....."). I'm not sure if the music transended the
hussle and bussle and brought the house up with it or the beauty of the music
was stifled by the noise but the juxtaposition was interesting.

		Glad to have a place where i can share my
observations,																				Aaron

few  minutes later it transpired that I had been patiently waiting for an
empty Nestea can to fly off. What a silly billy!

Thanks to Andrew for the reviews. That Melody Maker one is poo, but at least
NME were nice. I was fully expecting a lengthy vendetta from them.

      *---*      HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES    *---*

Good Morning All!

Well the good news is I have just managed to get 2 tickets to the gig on
Monday, so I am more that a little excited. The bad news is that now
only two of the three of us get to go, so there is a very pouty man
walking round London as we speak. 

I know this is a long shot, but if anyone out there has a spare ticket,
or knows a man who has, you could potentially make my friend very happy
indeed!!

Meanwhile, have an excellent weekend thinking of TBWTAS and the show on
Monday. Huzzah!!

Subject: Sinister: Leeds gig

      *---*      HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES    *---*

	I'm going to the Leeds gig tonight with a friend (that's the good
news). He's coming from Derby straight after work and can't make it until
8.20 (that's the bad news). So does anyone know what time the bands are
going to be on stage (ie. what time will Elliot Smith start)? Am I going to
have to go in without him and meet him in there, or am I safe waiting that
late?

	If anyone knows, could they email me privately, as I'm on the
digest and might not get the reply in time othwerwise. Thanks.
