This is true. However, in my defence I would say: a) My hands were shakier than usual on account of being thrown into the meeting-people-off-the-list-in-real-life thing all of a sudden. I was expecting Megan to be a 76 year old hermaphrodite from Yemen and was taken aback to find that was Tag and that Megan was instead a 19 year old female from New York. b) I was too intent on getting myself out of a Francoise Hardy faux pas I had made with Tag. c) I was confused by the Americanisms that I had accepted without question as a child. I still want to know what a Bread Basket is. Megan came up with some half-baked explanation that completely failed to account for it being it appearing in the groin area. d) I was distracted by Isobel being over the other side of the room. Everyone else was playing it cool, but I am a star-struck teenager at heart. e) I later discovered that we had been completely not playing properly, totally ignoring the careful demarcation of Doctor and Specialist operations. So it doesn't count. So ner. Nick _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

It's a recurrent problem, and one that probably means I have *issues* with my family or something... Anyway, what an odd weekend I had. Inbetween stressing about my Foundation Course exhibition and trying to get the supporting work for my final piece up to scratch, I sampled the *delights* of the Rochester-Upon-Medway Dickens Festival. For those who are not habitees of the Medway area of Kent (and I suspect there may be a few of these on the list), Rochester is where the fool Charles Dickens wrote and set a lot of his books. So _obviously_ EVERYTHING which happens here has to be Dickenscentric. Morris Dancers there were thankfully few when I went down to the high street, but people dressed up as Queen Victoria and Miss Havisham there were many. The coolest bit was going on the Merry-Go-Round in the castle gardens. Even though my friends made me ride on a giant chicken instead of a wee horsie like they did, the scum. And the calliope organ thing played "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat", which was ill-advised in _my_ humble opinion... Ah, and the delights of a Thai Spring Roll from the acest restaurant in town's outside stall, scoffing hot beansprouts on a lovely sunny day... Eccelente, Ambassador! Has anyone else got the Gomez album? Well, strictly speaking, _I_ haven't got it, my mum has, but I can nick it when I want to listen to it. Anyway, it's great unclassifiable pop-rock-blues-jazz stuff.

So summer has arrived and you are all talking of picnics and such.... tell me are these picnics just for old established members of the list or can anyone come along. They sound like such fun but one wonders if she would be frowned upon for just turning up?? Someone told me a while back that Belle and Sebastian were due to make a new release some time in May yet I have heard nothing since... was this true or simply a viscious rumour??? Also are there any gigs/concerts in the pipeline at the moment. Wee I guess I have done the same with this mail as always. asked a short question, although this time I have at least tried to pad it out. I would be very grateful if any of you could answer my questions and also if you would forgive me for my rambling mess of a mail. I t must take time and exoerience to become as good as some of you.

Certainly not, in fact the more "new" people coming along the better, well, as new as anyone can be on a list that's only run for 9 months.

When it gets bad the only thing for it is My Bloody Valentine - I think it was invented for drowning out other noise. Dangermouse gets my vote, followed by Batfink, which I remember being really good but cannot in fact remember any details.

Well that means that you missed what enraptured myself and my flatmate upon returning from the pub on Friday night... "Buddy's Song". With Chesney "Mole" Hawkes. My, how we chortled.

The Close Lobsters hailed from Glasgow and the few slow ballads which may have motivated your friend to come up with the comparison can be found on their first album, examples include "Pimps", "I kiss the flower in bloom" and "A prophecy" ... having said that, The Close Lobsters were a wonderful band and in my humble opinion _Headache Rhetoric_ is much inferior to the janglier first album.

Yeah, here in America, Nickelodeon (also the channel which aired Belle & Sebastian episodes) showed both Dangermouse and Count Duckula. I was a fervent admirer of both. I think if forced to choose, I'd say I liked Dangermouse better. A friend of mine started a short-lived band called Penfold's Revenge on the Chief. They only practiced twice for a show that never happened. I think they wrote a song making fun of Rush Limbaugh. Then there was a punk band that played here in Athens (Ohio) thursday, called Penfold. I didn't go see them, however, so who knows if they're good or not. Incidentally, a friend of mine and I are putting together a tape of bands covering songs from cartoons, etc. and an accompanying 'zine. Sort of like that "Saturday Morning Cartoons" comp with the Ramones covering Spider Man, but this one will be good. Anyway, the point of it is that a friend of mine (who's on the list, I think) is in a band and they'll be covering the theme from Danger Mouse. I also had this little fantasy in my head about Belle & Sebastian wanting to join in & covering the theme to Belle & Sebastian. But I felt it was silly to ask them to do a silly tape comp, plus I don't even remember how the theme went. (shrug). On the Close Lobsters tip, they were a mid-80's band based in England I think. They released some things on Fire Records, I think. Or at least, that's what it's on in America. One of my favorite finds here was a tape of one of their albums for a buck. Unfortunately the tape died =( I don't really think they sound like B&S, but they're quite nice & jangly. I'd wager someone else on this list knows a lot more about them... /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - mick at indiepop.com - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - sandcastlerecords at indiepop.com | | Sandcastle Homepage - http://indiepop.com/sandcastle/ | | | | "Everyone has their own cup of tea. | | Some just happen to like a lot of sugar in it!" | | - Me! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Close Lobsters were a fine fine band, who i saw many times in the mid to late 80s, and who often swapped members with another Paisley/Glsgow band, the very grand Church Grimms, whose 'Mr Watts Said' is a bona fide classic. > I seem to remember that they were more successful in the USA than Great > Britain ...

Count Duckula the series was in fact a spin-off from Dangermouse - Duckula was a villain with whom the great DM locked horns on at least on occasion. The Duckula who had his own series, I have to say, was far inferior to that from the Dangermouse series, who was if my memory serves, a would-be thespian who only really wanted to be famous. He also turned into a cricket bat with little wings to fly about. Hence he fitted into the classic Cosgrove-Hall mould of realistic villains with human sides to their characters and their hearts in the right place. His voice was completely different too - in the duckula series it was voiced by David Jason i believe, whereas in he original it was probably Brian Hibbard or whoever.

Ooh, I didn't know that! How exciting! Not only is Sinister lovely and full of beautiful sparkly people, it is also highly informative. Gosh, and I thought I'd seen all the Dangermouse there was to be seen...I've even got a video of some of the episodes still. Classy stuff. > The Duckula who had his own series, I have to say, was far inferior to > that from the Dangermouse series, who was if my memory serves, a would-be > thespian who only really wanted to be famous. Duckula as a series wasn't as good as Dangermouse either. It was always limited rather by the vampire thing, whereas The Chief Rodent himself had that superhero thing going on, and so could go off into outer space and battle with aliens for an episode, then return to foil the evil plans of Greenback and his dim henchman Stiletto in the next. > (Just out of lurking as we've finally hit upon a subject very close to my > heart - I used to want to _be_ Dangermouse!)

The cartoon B&S was on BBC. It was around the period of such highbrow cartoon series as Dogtanian & the Three Muskahounds, 80 Days Around the World and Ulysses. I always tired of Dangermouse, but never of such challenging cartoon series that were so close to the books. BBC kids programmes always outclassed ITV. Look at Trumpton! What an outstanding and inpirational programme. I wanted to be a fireman when I was a kid, not a white mouse that drove cars and had battles with a toad! I hope that stirs up some intellectual debate about childrens programmes rather than the obsessive Duckula fans. Duckula pales next to the might of Bagpuss!

The Melankolic compilation was given away free with Massive Attacks new album. Melankolic is pretty good, esp. the craig armstrong tracks. In case anyone's interested, of the latest records I've bought, I would recommend Money Mark's album. But avoid the Fire records compalation, 'I wouldn't Piss On It If It Was On Fire'. It looked a good deal, about 40 tracks, 2 cds, for £7, but it sucks. In my opinion, anyway. It does have a Thrum track on it though. I'm really into The Lost Soul Band at the moment, after seeing Gordon Graeme play at the Queen Street Oyster bar a couple of months back. Their album 'Land of Do As You Please' is highly recommended, and is an absolute bargain at £2.99 from Fopp. For any fans, Gordon plays a solo set at the Queen Street Oyster bar, Edinburgh, most Thursday nights. John "hasn't posted for months" Stuart. The best joke I've heard this week: > Paul McCartney calls his children together and announces, "I've got good > news and bad news.

I always tired of > Dangermouse, but never of such challenging cartoon series that were so > close to the books. BBC kids programmes always outclassed ITV. The appeal of Dangermouse was that it tested the limits of the genre of cartoon animation: it never patronised or played it safe (eg the "custard episode", or that one which was a spoof of "Fantastic Voyage" set in Colonel K's body). The dubbed Belgian cartoons which you mention took the general idea of the novels upon which they were based, but only as a jumping-off point for a series of linear, generic cartoon adventures. I don't really think "challenging" is the word. Although the way that Dogtanian's nose shone red whenever he tried to talk to Juliet, and it made that "boyoing!" noise was very cute, and I empathise totally (apart from the boing thing). Love, Mark S. PS - It's true, though, Bagpuss _did_ rock my preschool world. And does anyone remember Moschops...? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: <3574E9B4.6F8D@dial.pipex.com> Hello everyone, I've just come back from the pub on the night before going back into the studio, which entails getting up at 5 to 6 in the morning and then looking after 2 sets of screaming kids for 10 hours. Great! However, I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by - I mean, when else do I regale everyone with meaningless blather which goes nowhere for no reason (eh?)...? Kid's TV - as it's my job at the moment, I should urge all of you Britishers who have Sky to watch "games World" at 7.30 am each morning - it's a bit tacky, but kind of a laugh, and the bored kids you can see in the background are my responsibility!!! View at your peril... Anyway, as I was saying - I agree with Dan (I think it was) about Bagpuss - genius through and through (while I was watching it, the mice in the mouse organ were my favourites, but now that I'm older, Marion and Gabriel (the toad - is that right?) have the most appeal. Emily was a bit too shadowy for my liking, although at 24 I have a real fetish for girls called Emily, so perhaps that's a weird subconscious thing... More my style was Bod (and that frog with the orchestra) and Chorlton and the Wheelies, for real pants-wetting, unable-to-sleep-for-3-days thrills. That witchy chick has made me the neurotic fellow I am today, I'm convinced. And I owe my current straight edge lifestyle to the sight of Zammo McGuire snorting H off the locker room floor in Grange Hill (okay, maybe not that straight edge, but it did put me right off heroin). Kids' TV rules. Just to change the subject - Sarah, I have never met (you know what I mean) anyone as enthusiastic as you, ever. You rock. Ah, youth....

Anyway, bought the Ultrasound single that's out this week for interests sake, and unfortunately... it's crap. However, it's kind of amusing in a strange sort of a way. The title track is garbage, but the second track is a sort of punk pisstake. I can't remember the words right now, but it's pretty funny. The third track is a thoroughly unneccessary version of Neil Young's Hey Hey My My, it's almost exactly the same as the original, however, the bit where he goes "This is the story of Johnny Rotten", and usually Crazy Horse come in singing "Johnny Rotten, Johnny Rotten" in the background, in comes some troup of choirboys singing it which had me fall off my seat at work. It's terrible, but it is funny, so it wasn't two quid totally wasted. I might try and make it down for the London do this time, maybe take a long weekend then perhaps, unless that's the longest day weekend, in which case, I'll be in Glasgow. Does anyone know which weekend it is? Indeed we could have a meet up in Glasgow for that I suppose, sounds like a decent enough plan, anyone up for it?

The characters were transposed into the 31st Century. Apart from having the same names and trying to get home, as Odysseus/Ulysses was, the storylines were good. And they certainly never gave the impression of being aimed at children. The baddies could be _very_ creepy and even the spaceship they lived in was pretty unwelcoming - it always looked very cold and blue and echoey. And the music was great - anyone remember that. The whole series was very reminiscent of the Manga/Anime films from Japan which are now popular over here. Battle of the Planets was another early example of this type of animation on children's TV. And if we're talking surreal, many of the BBC's programmes didn't just wander off inot the surreal; they were there from the outset. Bagpuss - a load of stuffed toys come to life to fix something. Mr Benn - a man in a suit and bowler hat spends his days going to a costume shop and 'having adventures' with the shopkeeper. The Magic Roundabout goes without saying. And Bod - surely the creator of Bod can't have been entirely sane (even though he probably came from Poland, or something). And it was the BBC who showed Monkey. Need I say more?

There I was listening to the monsters of alternative rock on London's fairly shoddy xfm last night, and just as I'm drifting off to sleep (and a rather strange dream about Tanita Tikaram... don't ask) some dj comes on and says "well, I don't normally take requests, but i just got an email from Mark Casarotto, who wants me to play a record for David, Katrina and the whole Sinister list, who've been just smashing recently".

And they certainly never > gave the impression of being aimed at children. I don't really think it's relevant to compare (the superb) Ulysses '31 with the likes of Dangermouse. Coming from different eras they catered for different stages in my development. Dangermouse was broadcast 1981-83 (according to that "cream.tv" thing - cheers whoever it was - Rod?), which would have made me 4 at the oldest (not counting any repeats although they would have been '85 at the latest I reckon), and thus in my formative years it was a great influence on me. Ulysses '31 catered for the typical 8-year-old desire for robots, monsters and space-ships, and took itself much more seriously than Dangermouse, in a similar vein to "Thundercats"... These (along with BOTP) were great at the time, but due to their po-facedness just didn't leave as much of an impression. Ultimately it's just down to how old you were when these things were broadcast as to how strongly you feel about particular series... sarah wrote (enthusiastically!) : > Mark Smith (please let your middle name be Elijah!!) wrote... unfortunately my parents were one letter out - my middle name is David. :-) love, Mark D.

You're thinking of Trousers, and he's only 75, from Qatar, and he's a eunuch, not a hermaphrodite. >b) I was too intent on getting myself out of a Francoise Hardy faux pas I had made with Tag. And I still haven't forgiven you. You have incurred to wrath of Tag, and that is a fearsome thing. No-one disses Francoise and lives. Actually I first read that as "a pass I made at Tag". That got me quite aroused, I must confess. Incidentally, the Serge Gainsbourg night on the Renfrew Ferry was a blast, highlights included Chris Leonard shagging Norman Fanclub, Anne drooling over Antoine de Caunes, Little Stevie Jackson's rendition of "Lolita go home", which brought a tear to my eye. The next night Keith, Anne, Elisabeth and I went to the 13th Note, where we drank like crazed fools, and discussed Mental As Anything. Later, we made the taxi driver turn up Bryan Adams on the radio to stop Elisabeth from getting homesick.

But I think it would so much better if him and Wodney could spend a little time alone together at the Edinburgh picnic so they can whisper stories from the Ronnie Corbett joke book in each others ears until the sun goes down. I'm sure none of you want to be accused of being a gooseberry. Actually ruling is so passe and now the word on the streets is "romp". Je rompe, tu rompe, il/elle rompe, nous rompons, vous rompez, ils/elles rompent. The verb takes the avoir form in the perfect tense, incidentally. As in, "ce weekend, nous avons rompé, et je voudrais romper avec toi encore, parce que c'etait genial, mon petit gateau au pate d'amandes". You don't know what I'm on about, do you?

Are you sure these aren't the dates it was shown in the US, or something? >(according to that "cream.tv" thing - cheers whoever it was - Rod?) I must have missed this one.

Ulysses, Ulyssee-ees, flying through all the galaxiee-ees, in search of Earth, flying into the suuuun.

And the flying golden condor was the best. But possibly my best memory of this was the CBBC presenter at the time, Phillip Schofield (for it was he!) singing along to the theme tune one afternoon - I wonder whether his fellow actors in 'Joseph' or 'Dr. Doolittle' are aware of this classic performance and rib him about it? Oh, actually, maybe it was the theme to "80 days around the world" that he sang along to, but anyway, you get the picture :b Yours in nostalgia wonderland, Mark S.

For smart plotting you can't beat The Mysterious > Cities of Gold (one of my all-time fave cartoons). I always associated the Lost Cities of Gold with another show that was on around the same time in the US, Sparticus. Sparticus was probably my favorite from the time period. It was just plain STRANGE! Weirder than anything anyone's mentioned so far. The plot of the show was that there was this entire world beneath the crust of the earth. One of the countries inside, Arcadia, was adjacent to the core of the Earth itself, which was in fact a small sun. The inner sun was dying, so one of the Arcadians ventured out to try to find a way to cure it, with some friends. They ended up bringing along some kids from the crust, too. It was amazing and truly bizarre at times. Stranger yet, as a child I used to watch a program on USA called Night Flight. They showed lots of Avant Garde stuff. The strangest thing I ever saw on it was this odd French animation entitled Fantastic Planet. I still haven't seen it a second time. It's very similar-looking to Light Years, which I saw back then as well. Another interesting thing I saw on it was my first ever Anime, and probably the best animated movie ever done (it puts everything Disney has done to shame), Nausicaa. At the time I saw it, it was in the form of the American translation, which was changed a lot, and called Warrior of the Wind or Princess of the Wind or something like that. I was lucky enough to see a fan-translated version a while back. Amazing. The same director also did a wonderful piece called Laputa: Castle in the Sky, and the better known (and actually translated into English) Totoro. Well...hm, I could go on for hours about cartoons.

Fairly low-traffic at the moment, but its dedicated to people going "Oh, what was that show... you know, with the bloke off of Tiswas and Floella Benjamin, and the theme by Five Star?" I've had 5 hours sleep a night, for the last three nights. And it's killing me. Dissertation's due in on Monday, y'see. So, having had the pain of writing the software, I now have the tedious task of writing about the writing of the software. On the plus side, sitting in front of my computer does lead to me playing loads of CDs that I've under-played the last few months. "This Is Hardcore" has been on for a couple of spins, and is much better than I remember it being when I first listened to it. And the Gomez album is terrific. Takes a while to get used to, but well worth it. I took part in the B*Witched online chat today on beeb.com. They think that Mr Tickle would win a fight between all the Mister Men.

I always loved that movie. It's based off of the Peter S. Beagle book by the same title, an absolutely lovely story that i've always thought of as a children's story for adults. We have an ancient copy lying around the house somewhere (although it seems to me that i looked for it when i was home over Christmas break and to my great dismay could not locate it anywhere), but i've never been able to find it anywhere else, so i suppose it's quite out of print (either that, or i've always looked in all the wrong places). Ah well. But on another note - and here is where i attepmt to fit Belle and Sebastian back into the picture - i have another movie to watch sometime soon. My friend, upon learning that B&S has a song about her hero, loaned me her copy of "Don't Look Back," the Bob Dylan movie. Has anyone seen this? I'm not really sure how much watching the movie will enhance my B&S listening experiences, but the anticipation is still kind of exciting.

Apparently, "Naughty Number Nine" is the other hit off the record, but I've never heard it. I can try and get Robin to tape me the album if you like? "A man and a woman had a little baby, yes they did - they had three-ee-ee in the family" Also, is children's TV the only subject which really stimulates people? While I've been subscribing, Kafka, Galaxie 500 and sodding Mysterious cities of gold have been the most popular threads, but enough is surely enough. More importantly, me and a friend are working on a sitcom, but the "sit" bit is currently missing.

Actually the Simpsons is one of the only shows on TV that i would actually plan to watch nowadays. that and "Iron Chefs". (an AWESOME Japanese cooking program) has anyone ever heard of it? I've been a big fan of that show since my best friend introduced it to me 2 years ago. it's on one of the Asian cable channels here in S.F.

What a tape it would make, especially if recorded on a homemade tape of the kind envisaged by Mr Hopkins. 3. A very long shot. There was a band called Trees which released at least two LPs on CBS, probably in the early 1970s. Their female lead singer had (maybe still has) an absolutely beautiful voice and one of the LPs was called "The Garden of Jane Delawney". Searching the web for "Trees" has been very interesting and educational, as can be imagined, but hasn't given me any info on the band. Has anybody heard of them or know if any of their material is still available? 4. Thanks to those who recommended Alan Partridge. The TV guides would not have led me to watch it and, with the end of "Killer Net", there's such a gap in my life. (In my next life I'll try to get to college in Brighton - great accommodation and term assignments consisting of simulating electric chair usage with Teenage FC playing in the background seems not too onerous.) And Partridge even featured about 3 seconds each of China Crisis and Steeleye Span (ask your grandparents). 5.

Who can forget Gordon the Gopher or, indeed, Bobby the Banana...? Well, me, for one, until Kate jogged my failing memory. A penchant for alliteration and animate fruit (except bananas aren't really fruit, as any biologist will tell you) led to this bizarre facet of BBC children's TV while it was still resident in *The Broom Cupboard* and was helmed by Philip Schofield (pre-Coat of Many Colours), Simon Parkin (pre-working in McDonald's, probably) and the like.

Of course, I know what I'm talking about. I'm sorry if it's tough on the hard of learning. It's touching to know that they're letting people like you into the community nowadays. On a cartoon tip, much as I disapprove of such wanton nostalgia, I was giving my address to a woman on the phone yesterday, and on mention of the word "Chorlton", she whooped with delight, and said "...and the wheelies?". It's true, Cosgrove Hall Productions, who also brought Danger Mouse into the world, are based in my manor, round the back of Safeway, and named their chortling creation in honour of the area. John Squire used to work their too, before almost beating Color Me Badd into the Keith Watson all-time top pops, and then disappearing up his bottom. His own, not Keith's, you understand. Mark's dedication was a magnificent gesture, I'm sure you'll all agree. And I like this sit-com idea. A friend and I developed a sitcom a while ago, called "Oh no, it's my mother-in-law". Of course, it was liberally sprayed with double-entendres, and compromising positions, and hilarious consequences would ensue. Sadly, it fell by the wayside, but I feel it would have been a classic of its genre, up there with "Mind your language" and "Love thy neighbour", which together did so much to improve cultural understanding between nations.

Message-ID: Saw Kate's questions "3 is a Magic Number" & the subsequent response about "Multiplication Rock" and thought I'd throw in a bit more illumination on the subject. "Multiplication Rock" is 1 of 4 or 5 parts of "Schoolhouse Rock", a series of cartoons originally shown on ABC in America in the '70's, and are now embraced, for better or worse, by American twentysomethings. The principal songwriter/contributor was Bob Dorough, truly one of the coolest people ever to grace God's green earth. What most Schoolhouse Rock fans generally don't know is that Dorough's career spans back to the 50's (check out his recently released CD "Devil May Care" from like '59), recorded a couple of songs with Gil Evans & Miles, and just recently released a great new album on Blue Note. Seems to me that Dorough would be right up the alley of a lot of B&S fans ... in a similiar vein, there's Blossom Dearie (she sang on "Figure Eight", "Unpack Your Adjectives", etc) ... she's still going, as well, and is just as amazing. A few URL's to check out are: www.angelfire.com/ny/blossomdearie genxtvland.simplenet.com/SchoolHouseRock/ polyholiday.com/guide/D/dorough.html polyholiday.com/guide/V/science.html And while I'm posting for once, had to announce that thanks to a kind soul on the list, I finally got a tape copy of "Tigermilk".

COME QUICKLY! Message-ID: Hey chaps! Well, I spent a portion of last night sampling the three summer EPs onto my computer and MPEG3ing them, so I can now listen to them without all the hassle of changing CDs (and that's a LOT of hassle, I can assure you). It's great now that the two Centurys follow each other in quick succession. I was wondering if anyone has made a decent quality copy of Tigermilk on MiniDisc yet that I could borrow, to do similar things with? (Or, at least copy onto another MiniDisc) My tape copy is a wee bitty wonky, so it would be nice to have a shiny digital copy to sample. Usual disclaimers about not being an evil bootlegger go here. (but privately e-mail me if you don't want to be associated with such a blatantly evil scam!) Single of the week for me has to be that Ultrasound EP. I almost didn't buy it, cause I thought Best Wishes was fairly weak, but Stay Young is truly great... especially when played loudly at 4am, just as you're finishing your write-up for the night.

"Iron Chefs" is not your ordinary cooking instruction show, it's actually a cooking competition, where there are 3 chefs who are always on it, who are calle dthe "Iron Chefs" (for americans, it's kinda like the whole American Gladiators premise, but not so crappy) Anyway, a challenger chef comes on, and challenges one of the Iron Chefs. then the "secret ingredient" is revealed, for example it could be "eel". Then the Chefs have an hour to make a full meal where each item in the meal has to contain the secret ingredient. Whils they are racing around cooking, there are announcers excitedly giving the play-by-play, and they sometimes even have slo-motion instant replays when something exciting happens like a bunch of fire whooshes up or something. at the end they have a taste test to decide who wins. It's all very dramatic. Also the M.C. of the show is awesome, and wears the coolest Liberace-style flamboyant outfits. I highly recommend watching it, if you have any Asian cable channels where you live. (the show is Japanese) Also i've seen tapes of the show for rent in Japanese markets. tasha -- Tasha Wedeen tasha at pixar.com http://www.geocities/~girlracer ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

OK. I can say something about it. I remember seeing the 1st movie in the theater when I was 9. I was thrilled because that was the first time I had ever been abandoned by any parental authority (my friend's parents were in charge of us that day which explains why) to go see a movie. I remember enjoying the movie, but halfway through, I bit my tongue and drew blood as I was having some pop corn. I remember that movie being played one Thanksgiving afternoon on TV and out of nostalgia, I was a bit curious to see it (I was 14 at the time), but I got bored and wandered off pretty quickly. I can't tell you a thing about the plot. I think they were battling something evil. Aren't they always? I got hit by a wave of nostalgia just yesterday when I went into a clothes store and they had Strawberry Shortcake doll t-shirts. Everyone had the doll when I was in kindergarten and bring her to show and tell. Yes, everyone had seen one, but I brought mine, too! The smurfs are my favorites. On any day of the week, my mom had to drag me out of bed to go to school, but I specifically asked her to wake me up at 7:30 on Saturdays to see that show. Go figure. I miss the days of stuffing my face with breakfast cereals and chocolate milk and watching cartoons I wouldn't dare think to see these days. Oh, I have to ask this for any Aussies on the list: What the hell is the deal with the Bananas in Pajamas show? Or, as my friend likes to call it, "Dildos in Tuxedos." I work for a tv station where I run it every morning and their demenor is reminiscent of Terrence and Phillip on the Southpark show. It's one of the goofiest things I've ever seen, and I have to wonder why Australia hasn't received the recognition it rightly deserves for being the producer of the greatest soaps and children's shows on earth. s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

We didn't even recognise Kung Fu Fighting! There were only two of us, though (I'm not painting a very attractive picture of myself for those of you who don't know me - every other night I'm out on my speedboat with Henry Dent-Brocklehurst and the entire Miss Venezuela pageant ("Consuela likes helping old people across the road, reading to street children and the folksy musings of Stuart Murdoch. Whatta girl!") - might bring them to the Bluesoda social, actually...). My brother has astounded me tonight - he's been up for the last 72 hours as he's been delivering babies through the night and for some reason I've come over all hushed with awe. What a phenomenal experience! I can't imagine anything thoughout my whole career will compare to what he's just done. He's only a medical student (hope they didn't tell the mothers that), but wow. Thank you to Tag as well for his fab comedy idea - I trust there will be many vicars with their keks down (and wearing suspenders - for their socks, I mean) and people being pushed out of windows. Have you read/seen Joe Orton's "Loot"? One of the more entertaining things we had to study in our Self-Conscious Theatre: Currents in Italian and English Theatre course at the good ole University of Warwick (that's a point - any warwicensians out there? Make yourselves known!), though not as good as Fo's "Acidental Death of an Anarchist". Genius. I'm worrying again about becoming bored with Belle and Sebastian. There, I've said it. They're still the most phenomenal melody makers I've ever heard, bar none, but occasionally I can listen to Tigermilk and not cry. Am I losing it? Rescue me, my friends, before I turn to the dark side ("I am your father, Luke...")...... Too much. Sorry. Kick out the Jams, Brothers and Sisters!

Anyway peeps, there was a lot of talk around Oscar time about Elliott Smith from the US listees mainly. He played in Dublin last night so I went to see what all the fuss was about and he was very good indeed, even if he does look like a trucker, or as my friend put it "a WWF fan". I only knew the stuff from his "Either/Or" album which I bought just the other day and those songs in particular sounded great. Keith is right and Rod is wrong about the Ultrasound single - Jesus, what drivel. I'm sure I liked something by them before but that one had a tune. SOTW for me is the new one by the hormones, who can't write a decent lyric to save their life but seem to have more good Fanclub-y tunes than you can shake a stick at. They were the wedding band in Friends recently I believe, but don't let that put you off. Cheerio Ronan ---------- From: ANTONIO ZUQUETE To: ronbarrett; sinister Subject: Sinister: WHY ?

Not wanting to take Katrina's job from her, they are Jeepster's new band, a four/five(?) piece from Hull, and, just so you know it from someone *outside* Jeepster, they fucking rule, the best band I've heard since (cough) our old faves. Anyone whose attended the first London picnic or the bluesoda socials may have met James, the singer, and can I just say, that I can't get over the fact that dickie little james, the one who looks and acts like a naughty little schoolboy, and climbs anything in sight (trees, lamposts, belisha beacons,the charts*crosses fingers*) can get a sound like that out of his dickie mouth, let alone the songs (does James write them too katrina? or a joint effort by all?). Yeah, so there you have it, but don't let on that I called james 'dickie' or 'little' cos he'll twat me, cos he's a big- hard- muthafucking- cock- rock- guitar- bending- pop-star-dickie-little-james OK??

Movern's challacter was written very vividly and lively and I felt Movern so real than the bunch of words. In Movern Callar, Alan Warner also managed to visualise landscape and the scene(even stimulate the sense of smell) so real as well as Movern by writing. I been thinking maybe Juliet Lewis could play Movern very good if she can get Scottish accent right. You also could read "These Demented Lands" by Alan Warner after finish reading Movern Callar. It's a Movern's next adventure story. It's OK but bit less exciting than Movern. Kinda "Bridge(by Iain Banks)" dark feeling in it. By the way, thank you for your e-mail for my pregnancy, espadrille.

Ohhh, you take advantage of me when I'm crying in a cottage in Derbyshire with a modem phone lead in my hand and nowhere to plug it. Talking of Derbyshire, I just got a card and letter from His Esteemed (Didn't-He-Used-To-Post-To-The-List) PeterMillerness from - Derbyshire (1, Strawberry Lane), creeping-crawlying about why he didn't pay us a visit when he hit the north. If we'd known he was in Derbyshire (repetition) we'd have gone to see him, in Derbyshire. He gave me 4 excuses for not coming north, the best of which was: "4. I'm sure there was something else, but I'm buggered if I can remember". The accompanying postcard will appear on the WWW soon; sneak preview: "Have you had a check up, miss?" "No, doctor - I think he came from Spain!" There's much talk of Tag in the press, electronic Tagging and games of "Poo isn't Tag smelly". All I can add is that I came across this on the inside cover of Keith's favourite night-time dream, Stephen Pastel's Truckload of Trouble LP: "... and anyway we are far too outward looking for that sad Tag".

Message-ID: <199806071602.QAA19998@trapdoor.aracnet.net> A gruelling 7 hour flight and several rounds of complimentary amaretto later, I am home from my jaunt to Glasgow and thereabouts. Jet lag? Pah! Refreshed from 12 days of lung cleansing northern air and nourishing lager, I feel quite prepared to take on the task of reporting back to you lot. (I'm lying, I'm actually dead tired but...) **Exhibit A: Glasgow (lovely lovely Kelvinbridge, to be precise). This is city is a heartbreaker. Oh, I know all those cliches about Scotland being fabulous and friendly, blah blah blah, but I'm a hopeless romantic and I'm afraid I quite fell in love with West Glasgow. The little cafe on Otago where Tag, Anne, Keith and I had tea and looked over our record finds from John Smith. The beautiful park that Anne took me through on the way to a pub. The Java internet cafe made famous in the "Century of Fakers" video, where we were interviewed by someone from Channel 4. A hop, skip and a jump away from the Art School. Shopping in Safeway for Tunnock's Caramel Logs. Nice bridges and trees. I *will* live there one day, I've decided. Event #1: Serge Gainsbourg tribute night, Renfrew Ferry ------------------------------------------------------- The evening started out with us all staring at our shoes, shuffling from the 13th Note on Clyde Street which was closed, to the other 13th Note which was right by the venue. I was feeling quite shy, but the ice broke eventually (fuelled a little by alcohol methinks) and soon I found myself chatting away with Honey Paul, Linda, Chris Leonard, Tag, Julia, Keith and Anne amongst others. Unexpected surprise: Stevie performing "lolita go home " I knew I must be getting a little on the tipsy side, cos I kept banging my head on the doorframe in the loo. Hello, some of us are over 5 feet! Event #2: 13th Note (a.k.a. the Drunken Barn Dance) --------------------------------------------------- Keith, Tag, Anne & I started off with dinner at the CCA, a lovely gallery of some sort. Where else can one dine on cumin-crusted chicken on a bed of mango sauced fettucine noodles, all the while listening to the DJ spin Air and Plastique Fantastique? I'm afraid I must have looked a bit piggy though, because at one point Tag said "You're enjoying that, aren't you?" as I licked my plate clean. Continue onwards to the 13th Note, where after some clever footwork we snagged a table and we, well, drank of course. The conversation turned to Keith and Tag trying to think of Canadian bands they knew (and it's always the same list: Men Without Hats, Rush and Celine Dion). Imagine my delight when the evening was sweetly topped off with a fabulous cabbie who cranked up the Bryan Adams that just so happened to be on the radio, so Keith could do his famous Air Guitar routine. Event #3: Edinburgh, chez Honey Paul! ------------------------------------- I did not rule on this day, due to circumstances beyond my control which prevented me from getting a good night's sleep--however, I must not have looked too bad cos when we were having breakfast at Java before leaving for Honey's, a kerr-ay-zee man from Channel 4 interviewed me about my thoughts on Glasgow. Tag and Keith sat like 2 lumps of sticky toffee pudding as I worked my magic with the camera. Sparkle Shirley, sparkle! Embarassing moment #2: en route to Edinburgh, I was taking in the lovely scenery alongside the M8. "Oh, aren't those reddish hills charming?", chirped I. It was then that Keith informed me that the hills were actually slag heaps. Honey is a dear you know--he lets us silly kids invade his living room to blare France Gall and pet his kitties. And Linda makes fabulous tea. Dinner at the Calvary Arms was good but I felt a bit, oh I don't know, colonial? Not to mention that the spice made me a little woozy combined with my lack of sleep. Headfirst into my tikka masala, that wouldn't have been cool! I perked up when we went to the pub though, cos the christmas poo episode of South Park was on. And joy of joys, a cosy proper bed for me to sleep in later. There's the 25 cent version kiddies-- though, being Canadian, I feel obliged to include a brief French translation as it's our other official language. It's brought to you by the verb romper, of course. Here you go: "De tout les gens avec qui j'ai rompu pendant mon sejour, c'etait celui qui aimait le fromage qui etait le plus sympa, et j'ai si hate de lui revoir". Compact, that French language is, isn't it? love elisabeth xoxo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: <453df666.357b4c52@aol.com> In the wide travels of my temp job, I have moved from one side of the office building to the other. There, I have to pull files for lots of people who are too important to do so themselves. One of these people is named Tim Hopkin, as opposed to Sinister's own Tim Hopkins. This remarkable occurence has lead me to wonder if this new Tim is part of an alternate Sinister reality where the last letter of one's name is left off. If I start meeting people named Keit Watso, th Duk o Harringa, or Ta, then I will know that something odd is happening in the universe. Or just more odd than usual. . . Note to HoneyMotherHubbardPaul: When can we expect our Sinister babies to arrive? Are they being sent by stork? I am not sure that is a good idea, with stork hunting season happening at the moment. I would hate to think that my Sinister lovechild went down in a stork's fatal nosedive. Can these baby things be emailed? I once tried to email one of my handsome scarfs to Honey, but I couldn't get the email attachment to stick to the wool. I doubt it would stick any better to a baby, despite how much honey you use. And I hate to think of my baby being squeezed into a fax machine. Is it true that Splat the cat is the wet nurse? I can picture that furry nanny in an apron right now. Splat is probably giving the babies words of sweetness--"Pish, pish, meow, pish". A tear has just come to my eye as I remember the first time that was said to me in my childhood.

He did an in studio performance that I happend to catch half of. (amazing since i'm not usually up early enough to hear it). And now that I have the CD, it's barely left my player since the day I bought it. I've been playing it in the car a lot...and my dad likes him. He's also decided that he likes Pulp, as I was playing bits of This Is Hardcore in the car as well. My dad is so hip. And if you would like to hear a sampling of fair Rufus' mucis, check out his KCRW appearance in the KCRW archives at www.liveconcerts.com. check out the february one as it is longer and better than his May appearance.

Tiger Milk is one of the most lovely, beguiling LP's of recent years: diaphanous Sarah-label angst pop mixed with a heavy, heavy dose of Nick Drake laid on top. A fellow KALX DJ sneered at this description, "No one could sound like Nick Drake -- he was one of a kind!" And while that may be true, it's a comparison I'll stick by; this is a real find. (Lawrence) > Fuck! And speaking of Mogwai, their US label Jetset just released their remix album Kicking a Dead Pig as part of a 2-CD set with the Mogwai Fear Satan remixes...I got it for $14, and it's worth it, but more for the Fear Satan remixes...that R U Still in 2 it remix was just unnecessary, and even harmful...on import, together they would have cost around $35, so...okay Take care, Birjinder ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I was in a pub quiz the other day and was appalling. So I thought some practise would be a good idea. Anyone fancy testing the intellectual might of the Sinister list with a little quiz of some kind? Or is that an abuse of the list? Still, it's a thought... I've been giving career advice today to a 15-year-old, and I don't even know where I'm going. Does that make me a wee bit hypocritical? Not that it matters - in 4 days I'm going to have more than enough time to ruminate on the situation. All this talk of exams and such makes me almost nostalgic - telling this girl about the joys of university and how good everything was there does make me hanker just a little for the old days...the best thing ever (unnecessary hyperbole, I know, but hear me out) was the fact that Euro 96 started the day after my final final, and the sun shone for 3 weeks solid...heaven. Big up to da Rootes posse, in the house, as it were. And now the World Cup and the dole. Not quite the same thing, but if any Londoner Sinistrians fancy loafing in a pub one World Cup afternoon, let me know... Popstarz was kickin' on Friday - yer missing out, Katrina and Susannah and everyone else who deserted us...Not as kickin' as Bluesoda, natch, but what is, eh. Won't be able to make this Friday - I have to entertain my Australian cousin who I've never met. And while I'm on the subject (eh?), Rory's "jumpers for goalposts" is a fabbo idea - where's the enthusiasm? I know we're being a bit parochial, but it's like that (and that's the way it is, etc.).

For lo, on Sunday I took part in an attempt to break the record for the world's largest orchestra: So I drove down to Ashford with some other intrepid musicians, waited in a queue for parking for aaaaages, got sorted with some sheet music and sat down to await the call to arms. Christ, how many 5-year old recorder players and mini violinists can there _be_ in Kent? All confused about where to stand and needing their music rescued from the evil clutches of the wild Kentish wind every 10 seconds. Due to the bizarre weather, I got a sunburnt nose and then simultaneously drowned and whiplashed by the wind and rain. Anyway, after an hour or so of rehearsing, we actually played the piece (specially composed for the occasion and not much cop, frankly. "Music for Multitudes"? Sheesh...). 9 minutes long, and the heroic conductor managed to keep everyone together by way of being 20ft up in the air on a scaffold and waving his arms in increasingly large circles for beat indications. We did it! Yay! 2212 players (beating the record of 2049). I've got a nice certificate and everything... Ecch, and then I had to hang around for another hour to play with my windband in the VIP tent. Never mind, it was a good day. I just thought you should know, see...

I toyed with "Carry on romping" (starring Kenneth Williams as Stu Murdo, Charles Hawtrey as Stu D, with Bernard Bresslaw fitting the Fatty Hopkins role - maybe "fitting" isn't the right word, filling is probably more appropriate) but once I'd cast Hattie Jacques as Honey and Babs Windsor as Katrina, I ran out of ideas. Then I thought of those wonderful gentle Sunday evening comedies that Julian says I love so much. I was seriously considering "Oh! Doctor Mitchell", before I realised that it was, in fact, bollocks. I rejected "Are you being Sinister" (though Keith shouting "I'm free" did have a certain appeal). "Allo, allo" got a look in too, but Genevieve in a French maid's uniform and my great plan for the part of Herr Flick got rejected as being...err, dodgy. So, it's going to be the Terry and Joooooon option, I'm afraid. It's set in leafy suburbia, a cul de sac populated by seemingly normal Daily Mail readers, but closer imspection reveals that them to be ... strange. So here's the cast: Mr Trousers: the earnest commuter, married to Susannah, a buxom young woman with a sexual appetite to make one blush. She's always suggesting he takes time out of his busy schedule or "can't you have it off for once in your life?" as she puts it. Every episode revolves around his attempts to avoid sex. However, this does not mean he isn't interested, and his attentions are drawn frequently drawn to: Honey, the dazzling young blonde from next door. But Honey has a strange secret tucked away. Can you guess what it is viewers? Needless to say, Honey works at a fruit and veg shop, and Trousers is very partial to ripe, firm melons. Esme, the mousy librarian always turning up at inoppurtune moments. Anne has offered her services and suggested she has telekinetic powers, which she is amusingly unaware of. As far as I'm concerned this means she can make people's trousers fall down with the blink of an eye. Anne also suggested that Esme is constantly referring to her imaginary husband, who I shall call Mr Flopp. She is completely bonkers. Mr Dandycock (played by Keith), a camp hairdresser, who lives with his "brother" Rodney. Mr Dandycock fancies Mr Trousers rotten, and is forever suggesting he "pops round the back". For a cup of tea. Inspector Ramsbottom, the local policeman, played by Peter Miller. Ramsbottom is a jovial old lech, forever being called the scene of Trousers compromising predicaments. Often he will call round to the Trousers residence and will knock at the door and comment on Susannah's "magnificent knockers".

Cory, you may want to have a gander at the following address : http://www.maingate.demon.co.uk/marknlard/gys.htm I haven't visited for a while so I don't know exactly what info you may be able to draw from it.

Perhaps we'll arrange a going to the pub thing soon, maybe even Dave (Roddney) will come. I'm sure Mr.Laird will be the first to point out that you should come to the Egg (that of course would be if I hadn't just said it there). Plenty of music shops, venues, well I'm sure you'll get to see the new improved Potterrow union when it opens for freshers week. Unfortunately however I'm not sure that the new potterrow will allows student involvment quite as much as before, however this is as maybe, so if you're interested in this sort of thing you may want to join and you'll get involved with the clubs that are run and the bands that are put on and stuff. In the past we've had such incredible charttopping bands as the Paris Angels, the Fieldmice, Catherine Wheel etc. As you can see, the bands are mainly shit, but that's about to change as they get an outside promoter in to do stuff, as per the QM in Glasgow, and hopefully the improved size of venue ought to help that. Incidentally, when the original Potterrow building (amusingly called, the Nelson Mandela centre - we refused a motion to change it to the Jimi Hendrix centre a few years ago) was knocked up in the early 70's it was envisaged that it would be an amazing concert venue (part of it's under a huge dome), however, they made to dome of some weird perspex material which melts in the event of a fire showering everyone with molten plastic and plying them with carcinogenic fumes, so as a result, the fire limit under the dome turned out to be 3. Hence not much in the way of gigs. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Message-ID: <01bd9459$8bbc1000$LocalHost@itjfvkli> Hello again. How are we diddling? Tag's sitcom outline reminded me of something very important. You were right; Paul, Deryck Guyler is spelt Deryck Guyler, and not Derek Guyler, like any normal person would have thought. Both versions pale next to "Corky" though. Yes, I've been watching the telly. What's all this shit about the Tellytubbies being some kind of psychedelic chill out zone for serious ravers? I watched it twice, and the little buggers didn't skin up once. And I don't believe for one minute that they all went home with Boris Yeltsin, as reported in the national press. Tubby Custard? I'll give you Tubby Custard, you fucking freaks. Speaking of Tubby Custard, thanks for the tim, Tape. It will come as no surprise to learn that I like the lion noises best, and the boxing one. What nonsense would you like in return? Ink Polaroid: Look at me, I'm agog with astonishment. Anne is showing me her performing Star Trek mug. It's got a picture of Captain Kirk and the guys standing on their teleporter thingies, and when you fill it with piping hot tea, the mug slowly dematerialises and then reappears a few seconds later on the other side of the room! Would you credit it? I've never seen such a magnificent marriage of technology and tackiness. Oh well, better go and get myself psyched up for the global celebration of soccer that is the World Cup. How do you rate my chances of getting into the Saudi Arabia - South Africa game in Bordeaux? Surely the touts will be giving the tickets away? Oh and by the way, some of you will be pleased to know that your "antics" form the basis of many a light hearted conversation in Glasgow, even amongst people who aren't on the list. Something to ponder, I feel. Perhaps we should have another competition...no, bad idea. Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Go On Then! Message-ID: <199806101239.NAA27609@mushroom.totalweb.net.uk> Hello to you all! There's been some talk recently on the Belle and Sebastian e-mailing list about Jeepster's new signings, Salako, so i thought i'd let you all know a little bit more. Salako are a four-piece from Hull, self-described as sounding like "the gates of heaven opening up and a thousand angels beckoning you inside". They're a bunch of cheeky scallywags who happen to write some of the most interesting, intelligent and imaginative songs since well .. since no-one, as their sound is so very very unique. Jeepster plan to release Salako's first single "Growing Up In The Night" on July 20th and their debut album "Re-Inventing Punctuation" on August 3rd 1998. Their web-site will go on-line at midday on July 20th, you can see the countdown at http://www.jeepster.co.uk/salako/ Despite no-one even knowing about the band, we've had repeated plays of one of the album tracks "Go On Then! Enlighten Me, Why Doncha?" on Xfm, London's Alternative Radio Station. There is also a chance to catch James from the band live on the air tomorrow (Thursday, June 11th) at the end of BBC Radio One's Evening Session during the Live Music Update (8.30pm), so all of you who met James at the London Belle and Sebastian picnics can hear his first bit of promo ... and giggle! More news as it comes ...

Matador should be distributing "If You're Feeling Sinister" from now on. I think they were going to run down the existing Enclave stock first and are now in the process of manufacturing copies with the Matador details on it. So, if you can't find it in your record shops that could be why. Mail-order at Matador may be able to help more - mailto:russ at matador.recs.com or try the jeepster shop - mailto:shop at jeepster.co.uk Hope this helps.

After Brazil scored in the first four minutes, every single Scotland supporter in the Uni of London Union had there head in their hands, expecting a total thrashing, which all the English 'friends' assured us we were going to get. So they did very well indeed. but what happened to Morocco? They were playing so well, they had possession, control, good passes, and then it all faded away, just like in the friendly with England a few weeks ago, no stamina. I can't believe I just talked about football, what's got into me! B&S content - I got a bit concerned when I read messages of tapes wearing out, so I thought I had better make a spare copy of Tigermilk. However, i decided to do it when I was having a bit of a bad day, dropping glasses and spending 5 mins clearing up the mess, and generally being unable to do anything right. So what did I do? Put the tapes in the wrong way round, and wiped half of The State I am In. Doh. I had no trouble crying to Tigermilk that day! Any London Listies fancy getting together a huge Scottish contingent for the next match, and finding a decent pub with some decent Scottish beer? (is that a contradiction in terms?)

Hey! This is only my third post in nine months but I thought I should get it in before I go home for a while. Today was my final exam, so I'm scampering to the countryside to chew straw and wear a hat and sit around in sandals. Till September. Whycliffe says it better than me. What I was wondering was... is there anyone out there who would like to form a band? I've been writing songs for a while, and I've had a bash at playing in groups before, but it always seems to end up with me standing cross-legged, struggling with the three chords to Jailbird while an engineering student wrangles, bug-eyed, to get a solo out of a very expensive guitar (yeh man, I'm stung). I live in Ayrshire and travel to Glasgow lots, so if you're in that area, drop me a line. Um, my favourite writers are Stuart Murdoch, Lou Barlow and Elliott Smith, and my favourite band in the world is The Smiths, and I have impeccable influences, I've been into trumpet solos ever since the theme tune to Johnny Briggs broke my heart. I love songs that have chord changes that make you gulp and makes a lump travel from your breast plate to your throat. Uh, Together Or Alone by Sebadoh? My Wandering Days Are Over by B&S? Y'know? Hey, even if you can't play, get in touch and we'll go for a drink and a boogie! Yeh, chew the fat! Toss a few ideas around! Steal apples and stuff! I'd love to meet new people and be versed in where to go for thrills. My address is: 11 Five Roads, Kilwinning, KA13 7JX, Scotland. Well, gotta dash. Off for lunch, I reckon a warm baguette could do the business. See ya in the autumn, John ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I missed Shellac on Monday night because I didn't have any money. I was very distressed and now a kind ex-snog tells me that they are playing a secret gig tonight and I still don't have any money. That's just great! ( if there are any Shellac fans from Dublin here, they are playing The Funnel bar at 8pm, £6.50, phone the venue for tickets).

Message-ID: <01IY47MTA35C003AU1@vms.eurokom.ie> Sorry if this is old news to all of ye, but is the Robert McTaggert who writes of the Iranian film "A Taste Of Cherries" in this month's Uncut our very own McTag? If anyone is thinking of seeing the film in question, I'd just like to warn them that the 4 stars that this Mc Tag gave it is 3 more than it deserves. I had the misfortune of seeing it at the Dublin Film Festival and it's this sort of plotless humourless junk that give foreign films a bad name. How it beat The Ice Storm and LA Confidential to the Palme D'Or is beyond me. (Apologies if it's not the same McTag at all and this is completely irrelevant) I know there are some Go Betweens fans out there, I saw Robert Forster the other night and the man is still a star even if some of his solo stuff doesn't quite match previous heights. No GBs songs though, apart from "Rock n Roll Friend" as an encore, which was a pity. If anyone knows of record shops in Paris/Toulouse/Bordeaux could they please let me know. I'm heading over next week for a couple of games, being one of the jammy sods who got through on that hotline. Cheerio Ronan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

So they did very well indeed. Despite the fact that footy smells of poo, I watched the Scotland match with a couple of (English) friends. Everyone agreed that "the boys done well"(TM), but when asked about England's chances suggested it was a pity that Sweden hadn't qualified, 'coz as everyone knows, English strikers know how to beat the Swedes. Fnar fnar. Actually, it's not funny. Apparently Stan Collymore knocked Ulrikakakakaka to the ground and kicked her in the head. Good on the lass for dumping him pronto. Probably did less damage to the head than listening to Sean Connery at the karaoke would've, though. > I can't believe I just talked about football, what's got into me!

I met the l.p. If you feeling sinistre by a day of April 1997.I mean it was a real date, a romantic rendez-vous! Actually I know, it's pretty late, but B&S's album just began to be sold in french music stores.Anyway I was so proud to find such a songwriter, as emotionnal as Serge Gainsbourg was & is for me (Do B&S fans appreciate Serge Gainsbourg).I have so many questions to ask... sorry for this first one maybe silly but I'm a rookie: Is the name of the band related to he french comic "Belle et Sebastien"? Could it be seen on british channels? (Stupid question but important for me right!) In a french magazine it was wrote that Stuart Murdoch and Elliott Smith are the most talented songwritter of the decade; both of them are really influenced by Nick Drake...What do you think of that?Last question, how did Stuart Murdoch participate to Philophobia the magnifique alcooholic l.p. of Arab Strap? I had a ( bad) dream last night: I saw scottish supporters showing their genital trophy under their kilt, in Paris, singing B&S songs!?!

It's so bad that everyone with similar musical interests to me always live somewhere else. Damnit. But don't you see that playing in bands that what you describe is truly the backbone of rock? Not that it's populated by engineers or that would be scary, but people who get together for the hell of it and jam! Rock music is the only form of entertainment where you can be a bad singer or not know your instrument and yet are still considered good. Nobody gives a damn about proficiency as long as you rock. people in this town that I'm in have completely forgotten that. to them, it's all about demo tapes and who you know. They've completely forgotten the idea of getting people together for the hell of it because Austin is becoming a place where too much is at stake. I remember reading a biography on the Smiths and was amused to learn that Johnny Marr went several years without owning an amp. Here, everyone has in-home recording studios, a CD release on their own label, and looks strictly at your work references. They don't even want to waste their time auditoning someone they've never heard of to join a line up. They're going right for the throat as far as success is concerned, but they overlook the most important things such as talent, ideas, and having fun. I don't know if it's like that everywhere, but it makes me sick that many people have forgotten what it is to be a performer and want to go strictly for the juggular. yeah, I admit I want the same, but as far as I'm concerned, I want to have a playlist of many songs and try them out before and audience and then I'll rush to a studio. who doesn't want success? It sucks to be kicking around in front of half interested audiences, but really, I'd rather earn my respect than have it earned for me by MTV and then be a trivia question in a bar as "this one hit-wonder wrote..." several years on. Luckily, I have been doing that and it feels good that people ask me what I'm doing or when I'm playing just because they want to. s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I've just arrived fresh from the Tindersticks mailing list where it's all doom and gloom and discussions on whether Nick Cave or Tom Waits is more fun. They like the Arab Strap album over there. I did my best to make sure that B&S got a frequent mention. And Serge Gainsbourg (Hi Julien). And Momus. Talking of Momus did any UK subscribers see the article in todays Guardian about Japanese music? How they failed to mention Momus I don't know. They even had a few words from Cornelius who wrote the music for "Le Roi Soleil" which Momus penned the lyrics for, and who used to be Kahimi Karie's boyfriend. And they mentioned the new Pizzicato Five album which features a remix (and sleeve notes) by Momus. Anyway, the introduction. I enjoy my B&S accompanied by a well made cocktail. I moved down to Hampshire from Manchester last December just in time to miss the B&S gigs :( and now work for an alcoholic drinks company in Southampton :) My advice to Claire and Adrian is to drink rum. Good luck to everyone who's in the middle of exams. Sorry, but I can't see Scotland qualifying for the second round. Kevan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

(um, the title 're-inventing punctuation' also sounds a lot like 're-inventing penicillin', a track from sarah 83 by the sugargliders. what me, anal?) musically though, if that was salako they were playing in the background during the piece (which, like i say, was criminally short), then they sounded great. andy btw, that lamppost that james climbed up so valiantly on the top of primrose hill at the picnic (photo in the archive, the one that looks a lot like that famous one of american soldiers raising the flag on iwa jima (spelling?)), i'm pretty sure the very same post is the one in the advert for sky movies that's airing currently, the one with odd people reciting lines from films, specifically the bit with the old woman saying 'show me the money'. re: scotland. it's del amitri i feel sorry for. whereas all the songs recorded by the other countries in the world cup (apart from usa and iran who don't apparently have world cup singles available) tend towards the victorious, scotland seems to have adopted the cautious approach with 'don't come home too soon'. and after the other day that doesn't look like happening. i wonder if they'll shoot boyd when he returns to scotland like they did to that colombian? or will he get to star in a pizza ad? i'm joking, of course. don't hate me. some of my best friends are scottish. um, that's a lie actually - i don't have any friends. football highlight so far has been the way that itv abbreviates the team names to 3 letters for its on-screen captions so morocco vs norway the other day became MOR vs NOR. looking forward to seeing MOR vs ROM. and SCO vs CRO. i have austria in the office sweepstake. 8( got 7 copies of the friday review section with my guardian this morning. how queer... will see some of you at the social tonight. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

You know, I live in the US, and I tried watching the Italy-Chile match on ESPN and after watching it for 25 minutes, I got bored and switched it to soap operas, which was the lesser of the two evils. I can't tell you what is so captivating about the world cup anna, because I think that football is a very dull sport. Could it be nationalistic pride? I remember staying up to watch US hockey contests until 5 in the morning when we got our asses handed to us by Finland and the Czech Republic... I don't know. I'd like an answer too.

I thought it was a lovely film, there's a whole section that you have to sit through twice, totally freaky, and it's got as nice an ending as you could hope for. Either I didn't know it was from Iran or I had forgotten. All hail the conquering genius of Abbas Kiarostami. It should appeal to B&S fans as well, as it is a clumsy love story in the Gregory's Girl mould. Sort of. Another goodie from that season was El Bab Boo Bob City or something, which touches on the importance of P!O!P! in a rather unusual manner. But the best one was a short film about a little boy who can't get past a big dog in an alley and eventually has to give the dog some bread.

It's great, it's a simple as that. And it's the world cup. We just got beaten by Brazil, essentially cause of an unlucky deflection off of Tom Boyd's chest into the goal from the Brazilian cross, oh well, unlucky, unlike what Evans says about Scotland, we played well, simple as that. Darren Jackson was on the telly yesterday (who's a Scotland player) pointing out that maybe it'd have been a draw if Boydy hadn't been so fat - which I thought was good to at least have a laugh about the game, we got beaten by the world champions - no bloody surprise there. What worries me is that it looks like Morocco are a brilliant team. Yes it looks like Scotland will not progress to the second round, still Adrian's point about us being bollocks doesn't really stand, in a country of about 6 million people, we do very well to even qualify - and your team's shit... by the way. Someone Said : >> not only did I have to wake up at 7.30 to invigilate an exam, but I was >> woken up by Radio one playing the commentry of Tommy Boyd's goal yesterday. >> What a great start to the day!! And then Dave said : >He was much better on the Wide Awake Club. Sorry Dave, this is an old joke. Slightly modified, ironically Zoe Ball said it the other morning, that he was much better on Magpie. You were on the wide awake club weren't you? I remember my little brother pointing it out one day.

Take a look at http://www.angelfire.com/sd/TechnoWonderland/Rant.html It's a good laugh - a rant about how SHIT Belle and Sebastian are - well it cheered up my tired and rather low Friday afternoon. Example: "Belle and Sebastian are turgid pop execrement accidentally diverted from the planet Crap". I love the deliberate spelling typos and the nicked flying pig background that makes it unreadable. Great stuff. Most impressive is a reply from "someone" called "Susannah" from "London" in defence of B&S which doesn't contain the words "wank" or "arsebiscuits". Actually I nicked that last word from Linda, who says it all day long at the moment but she's too shy to post it to the list. Or indeed anything. OK - a few more boring things I'm afraid. For newcomers, hello, stand by your beds for trouser inspection, and please remember that you can search for questions that might have been asked before by the "Search" link on my WWW page for the list (see footer of this message). Please take a look at the site when you join - there's also a few lists of Frequently Asked Questions and loads of other stuff, well, a bit. Oh, and someone somewhere has got something configured very strangely in their mail program. This isn't very helpful is it? But I've received a few nearly blank messages with "Read: " in the subject and I suspect some of you are too. I think someone has turned on read receipts from their mailer or something and it's not working probably. Or something - can anyone shed any light? Finally - Tag I am admittedly voluptuous, but I am in fact a brunette.

Football is life, and will remain so for the next 4 weeks. Or at least until we get some B&S release info. And England are going to win. In a least one match. Anyway, here I was fretting about the fact that I was going to have to leave you all for the summer, what with me being a student and all, when yesterday HURRAY! I got a summer job! At last! So now I'm going to be spending July and August writing software for motorracing teams. Which means you won't be able to get rid of me just yet, hard luck. Oh yes, and it also means I'll be staying in Cambridge all summer with hardly anyone I know here, so I may just pop down to the odd social / picnic or ten. Recent CD purchases since my exams finished; the Fatboy Slim single (buy it now! Keep David Badiel off number one! He can't sing to save his life!) which is just superb, and the Rialto album, which has some cracking songs but lacks variety. I've just found out that I'll be seeing Rialto play on Monday night at a May Ball, which should be good; unfortunately I think they've also got Robbie Williams playing... Right, that's enough irrelevant ramblings for now (although I did at least manage to mention B&S once, which makes a change...). I'm sure I've got a football match to watch...

He says he's into techno and dance so I ask him to tell me what was the last good album he bought, not that i'd know it anyway? "you probably will, actually, " said he, "it was Belle and Sebastian." I was so happy all i could say is, "noooo, NO way!!! I.....*adore* you." I asked him how he could tell I liked Belle & Seb and he said "You just seem like you would".

Are London and Glasgow now locked into a battle of who can have the most fun over the weekend? Can America join in? Or is that as futile as them joining in the World Cup? (pardon - obligatory footabll related comment.) For our part, Los Angeles will be spending the weekend at the flickers - Bob Le Flambeur, Classe Tout Risque, and The Knack (And How To Get It.)We may not have the nightlife of you young urban (and urbane) Europeans, but we sure have cinema. This is actually a sad attempt to not feel like a child from the provinces, chocolate covered nose pressed to the window of the mailing list as tales of Primrose Hill, picnics, and socials scroll past my eyes. Whoops overstretched analogy. Iron Chef is inded a fantastic show. UK listees should try and picture Ready Steady Cook crossed with It's a Knockout crossed with a Samurai film. And Endurance. Ermmm..

Hey! Take a look at http://www.angelfire.com/sd/TechnoWonderland/Rant.html hmmm, www.angelfire.com.....a friend of mine set up a website for a friend's band using anglefire.com, and it seems to have been taken over by some porno freaks who are after your email address and try to lure you with naughty pictures of rather tacky ladies' behinds. Ranty melons indeed. Its rather embarrassing when you're at work and trying to find your friend's web site with lots of pseudo-twee ramblings on pop music and some pretty black and white pictures and all that comes up is anal stuff. just thought i worn you, proceed with caution, or unrestrained glee. Oh hi, I never post, I will try and be more interesting, some other day. You all seem like such nice people. (I looked at all the pictures at the website, such lovely people) My life has been filled with Belle and Sebastian moments for last few months, that's probably why I haven't written anything, too distressed. One rather nice moment that happened just this week, was watching three busloads of Nigerian tourists in full native dress walking around a concrete parking lot in Upstate New York. They all seemed so happy with their cool hats and fancy walking sticks. Its was quite beautiful. Oh and Glasgow is quite lovely. I fell in love. With and in. I fell out in London. Appropriately enough, don't you think. Have a happy World Cup. That's why its so popular...it brings the world together. Almost as much as the Cricket World Cup.

Exams are almost nearly over, so expect an overdose of kids-tv related postings in about a week's time. Ok, currently worrying jon g. and bethey: * The new album by B&S will be here in the future. * Having become totally obsessed with the afore mentioned 'pop group', for example getting really excited when Wrong Love was played on the radio, how are we going to cope with 10+ new tracks? * Will we have to limit ourselves to 1 track per week? * Maybe buy it on CD as well as vinyl and use intro play to gradually introduce the tracks to our minds. * In short, it's going to be too darn exciting for some of us (well, me). What am I going to do? Did anyone hear the live music update on thursday night on radio one? The band to watch were Salako (however you spell it), the latest signing to Jeepster. The track they talked over sounded quite good. Most exciting of all, Mark Jones spoke! It was well exciting (see what I mean about being obsessed!). Apparently, they don't like playing live, which is nice. Then the bloke from the band said that he was listening to the Sound Of Music soundtrack a lot at the moment, which granted him instant credability with myself, as it is a great film, as I'm sure you'll agree. Then he said most of his influences were stuff he found when walking around, like the sky. He mentioned foxes, which was also very exciting. I'll shut up now. Wow! Someone else started a kids tv thread in the form of Count Duckula. All I have to say on the issue is: Goodnight, wherever you are! (said in a spooky voice. sort of). >I've just arrived fresh from the Tindersticks mailing list where it's all doom >and gloom and discussions on whether Nick Cave or Tom Waits is more fun. and it's all on-topic.

The Spanish TV expert kept going on about Scotland's lack of skill and ability - as if that matters! He obviously fails to grasp a very basic piece of Scottish wisdom, a phrase I heard several hundred times when I wwent to see Scotland against Italy at Ibrox - quite simply, these fancy teams from exotic places "don't like it up 'em". Brazil certainly seemed uncomfortable with it up 'em the other day. I'm looking forward to Holland - Belgium tonight. The other great thing about the World Cup is that the atmosphere is highly reminiscent of international It's A Knockout, complete with airhorns. And I'd just like to reassure Anna(?) - it doesn't depend on nationalistic fervour, far from it. I like football, I like the World Cup, but I'm in no way nationalistic. My irrational love of the Style Council made sure I stood up proud and declared myself Internationalist. Nationalism's pish. oooh - bit of politices there. Speaking of which, I was amazed to see bloody Ben Elton still on telly. I really do think he should stand aside and make way for some bright young talent, such as our very own Dave. >ps: London list people, some of us are out for a night out in Glasgow this >weekend, so I hereby declare a competition to see who can have the most fun. >Reports on Monday morning please.

Message-ID: <3583D4DD.7341@club-internet.fr> Hi! It's raining in Paris, again and again... Maybe that's the reason why I'm listening all day to Belle & Sebastian, maybe that's why I HAD MY FIRST B&S DREAM YESTERDAY!!! Unfortunately, it was very very short. I was with my girlfriend by the sea (in a small village where we were a few weeks ago), doing nothing but having something to drink. The weather was beautiful, it was warm and yet cool, the end of the day. And a young blond boy came and met us : he sat with us on the terrace. In fact, it was Stuart M, Stuart when he was about 14... He was reading the NME. On the cover of the magazine, the Sundays. And suddenly, he said he didnt like this band. .. I was disappointed. That's it... A question now, with no B&S content : i'd like to go to Scotland in august in order to improve my english. Do you know if there's any college or university or anything that's organising english courses for adults and foreigners??? It could be either in Glasgow or in Edinburgh, i dont mind, and i'd like to stay there two weeks. Thanks a lot!!!

I'm happy that there are pop bands out there that admit they listen to that sort of stuff and not turn their nose up at it because they are serious rock musicians. So, for the most part, I don't know much about Jeepster. Are they a new label? Are they strictly in for cool indie bands that only get play on US college stations like Matador?

A strange weekend - I've just got in and heard that my grandmother's been taken to hospital, I'm now unemployed, I've got a script report to write, and the godlike Robbie Earle scored a honey for Jamaica... I'm also wondering if all you listees have a somewhat pro-Scotland/anti-London stance. Would it be the same if B&S came from Finchley? I for one think London is fucking wicked in almost every respect, I've lived here all my life (brief sojourn in Bologna excepted), and fully intend to stay here for ever and ever. I think it's beautiful, haunting, sexy, dark, vivacious, pretentious, cuddly and grotesque, and I love it. It does kind of annoy me reading all this "oh well of course I live in London but my life's changed ever since I went to Glasgow, what a wonderful place, so much more full of life and intimacy than big, anonymous, grimy ol' London Town" - if you don't like this place you haven't got to know it nearly well enough. I should point out at this point I've never been to Glasgow. I apologise in advance for any entirely hypocritical about turn in my future affections. I also think Vancouver is The Bomb, but that's a different matter. Wow - I don't usually get so passionate in my postings - I'm actually sitting here with my heart beating double time and my adrenaline fully mobilised. I wish it could be more obvious - that's the trouble with these little words on the page - no-one really knows what I'm thinking ... Ho detto troppo, senz'altro, FORZA ITALIA!

Well, we ruled anyway and a good time was had by all the people involved. Pity about Jamaica last night, they played well and were unlucky, however, they feigned no injury and politely helped the Croats who were pretending to be injured to their feet. Hopefully the Reggaeboyz will do better in their next game. As regards Mark's letter about people dissing London and stuff, well, I suppose it's fairly inevitable when the list's about a band who come from Glasgow. Perhaps occassionally you become a little bit fed up spending your whole life watching the telly and only hearing news from London, I've had a nice time every time I've been to London, but gave up the idea of living there recently for exactly the reasons you describe. Too big, takes bloody ages to get anywhere. - everyone seems to be rushing about all over the place too, that might've just been my impression however. I don't think anyone's come away with anti-London statements on the list though. One thing puzzles me, perhaps Mr.Blair will be able to answer this question, we bumped into a "Sandy", carrying 10 bottles of beer on Sauchiehall st, Saturday night about 11:30 or so, it struck me a few minutes later that this may possibly have been Mr.Sandy Blair (who I believe is still on this list), however I dunno. Was it? Cheers, Keith. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The three compilations released a couple of years ago cover Serge's career from jazz beginnings to 60s pop genius (Du Jazz dans le Ravin, Coleur Cafe, and Comic Strip). His later stuff is all readily available, and some of the best things he did in the seventies and eighties were the records he wrote for other people - Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot, Isabelle Adjani and Catherine Deneuve spring to mind. > Then the bloke from the band said that he was listening to the Sound Of Music > soundtrack a lot at the moment, which granted him instant credibility with > myself, as it is a great film, as I'm sure you'll agree. Bizarrely I own the soundtrack but have never seen the film.

Would it be the same if B&S came from Finchley? I suspect the pro-Scotland bias is based on the fact that many of the listees are Scottish, I could be wrong.

Keith, as I have it on good authority that you've recently been demoted from "ruler" to "governor" i think you are hardly the person to patronise us for lacklustre romping. In fact, London rocked over the weekend. And our friends in the North are merely jealous. Led by the mighty Sabine, and in honour of Elisabeth Z's birthday, a blue soda posse ruled the dancefloor at Popstarz until the early hours. In fact the only person not to rule that night was Bobby MacT, who retired home at an early hour. A thoroughly limp display from the sparkly orange boy, who is now no longer a ruler, nor even a governor, but merely an administrator.

Blue Soda was suffering slightly from the Missing Jenga Block (which pretty much accounted for the tower's collapse on my go rather than Susannah's, as far as I can ascertain; really, I've worked it out with maths and stuff, don't argue with me on this one) and the non-bucking Buckaroo until Trousers brought us all to order with the first of possibly many Fantastic Pop Quizzes. Now, I may be doing their fellow team members a disservice, but having both Tag and Andy Dean on your side pretty much makes for a foregone conclusion in my book... *and* they had the best name (something long-winded and rude I seem to recall) just in case of a tie (no chance of that). Mistaking Bobbie Gentry for Laura Nyro in the picture round and forgetting Holly and the bleeding Italians... just humiliating... Afterwards a small but tightly bound group of us wandered into deepest Holborn. While the rest of us queued for Popstarz, Tag, overcome by a roaring tiredness, opted for a wild cab ride to SE16 with Trousers' keys clutched firmly in his hand, never to be seen again. Stevie T, Sabine, Elizabeth, Philippa and myself then danced ourselves sick until the small hours, before surrendering ourselves to the night, dodgy cabs and wandering buses.

OK here goes - please read at least quickly as it'll keep me in a job: if you stop receiving mails from the list please see the section on the WWW site for information on how to get yourself fixed. It's at: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/faq.html#6 The answer is usually that there's a screw up somewhere with your email at your service provider - I deal with about, ooo, 5 of these at least a day. What happens is, if your mail fails to get through on many consecutive occasions, you get taken off Sinister and put on another list which will privately keep trying to email you, so that when your mail gets fixed it can tell you what you can do to get back. If you see one of these mails just follow the instructions. If your mail dries up please help me out by doing some work yourself before mailing me: 1. Check there ARE actually mails coming in that you aren't receiving - look at the WWW archives: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/hypermail/current/ 2. Check you are still on the list: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/#join If not and you expect to be (remember to check the digest version too) then your mail will have been knackered for so long you got put on bounces. Await an email. 3. If you ARE on Sinister and you still aren't receiving mail, check the directory of the last 100 error messages the list is currently receiving at: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/errors They're totally cryptic and tricky to look through, but it will at least tell you if you have problems, and you may want to take the error to your system admin or service provider and stick a pencil up their nose. It at least tells you if Sinister can't send to you for some reason. 4. If you're really stuck still, mail me. But I'll be there with a pencil if you haven't at least taken a quick look at 1) to 3).

Gosh, what a coincidence: I too have a Sodastream to recommend, but this one is Australian and also fantashtic. I heard a solo song by their singer/songwriter Karl Smith on John Peel a while back, loved it to bits, found their website and emailed the bassist, who for a small fee kindly sent me Karl's solo EP "The Sky Is Beginning To Bruise" ("Withnail & I" reference!

Message-ID: <3585C413.6799@dial.pipex.com> Hello everyone, Only weeks after having a go at everyone going on and on about children's TV, I have to sheepishly apologise for grumbling as it seems that I am about to be working in the aforementioned industry. I got a job! Wooo! They haven't given me anything to sign yet, but it looks pretty much in the bag - in fact, as I write, I've just got a phone call with the salary package - not bad...! It does mean, though, that for my 4 more days of freedomI'm going to have to watch absolutely bucketloads of kids TV, so please forgive any belated critiques on Fireman Sam and chums... How do all you scots (and wannabes) feel about England's victory today? Obviously, as long as they don't beat Italy at any stage, I'm pretty delighted, but Garry has told me much about the ceaseless and absolute loathing for Engerland that lurks in the genes of every true celt, so I wondered if you're all cursing into your irn bru? I do like Trousers' idea, though, and I could well be up for that, tube strike permitting. I'm supposed to be going on a picnic tomorrow with my best mate's girlfriend (no scandal, unfortunately - we're just both unemployed while he markets a certain Well-Known Brand of Moisturiser and has two secretaries), but if the weather today's anything to go by, I think I'll be coming along to Trousers' bash - details still to come?

But they're still shit at football. Also, the so-called Basque Country has a total population of three people, all of whom play for the Spanish national team. Except the one who plays for France. What's more, there are no Bobby Charlton Soccer Schools in Brazil, whereas the United States of America is riddled with them. Your argument doesn't hold water, Dave. It's just not watertight. Football is much more complicated. In the opinion of many experts, it all boils down to who likes it up 'em and who doesn't like it up 'em. Those who like it up 'em, such as Germany, are virtually unstoppable, regardless of their population count. I once saw Benfica play. It was great. Like Sunderland, they play in the Stadium of Light and are urged on by the famous Roker Roar. Chris, thanks for that Natalie Imbruglia information. Only one quibble: what's all this about shagging? No one actually does that, it's just a story made up by perverts to sell more drugs to children. I'm sure Natalie was stealing Jasper's Buckaroo in those toilets. Either that or handing round the shandies. Don't leave us in the dark! Paul's got some Barbara Dickson gossip as well, haven't you Paul?

Actually Sarah, yeah I'm inclined to agree with you. Sorry Mark, for not always talking about London all the time, unfortunately (or otherwise) most of us don't come from there, so it makes it quite hard to talk about. There are a lot of places worth talking, and a lot of people doing a lot of interesting things - I didn't really think it mattered where they were from, just that their letters were interesting. Indeed London easily has the most people belting on about it at the moment - so there seems little cause for complaint. What I want to hear is the experiences of some brummies - Birmingham gets such a bad rep, and the people are great. Let's hear some stuff about the B+S listees in Birmingham. Rodney/Dave, a couple of weeks ago I thought I saw you in the pub, so I spent a few minutes shouting "RODNEY RODNEY... DAVE DAVE DAVE" across the pub - but it wasn't, it was some fellow from Policecat. If anyone goes and sees Policecat in the near future, look for the bloke who looks like Dave. What do I think of the England victory? Fine, good luck to them, did they win the fight as well? the double? We play Norway today, and in world rankiing terms we're well ready to get beaten, still that's not the point is it, it's the taking part. Most people up here hate England and especially in footballing terms, I'm not one of them. Who's all coming to the longest day then, cause we should all meet up for that, hopefully it won't be raining, I'm going to go early on next year to avoid last year's daft carry on. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Ummm, actually I kinda thought that Sarah's mail was more about in-jokes and private references in messages to the list, which surely we're all guilty of, not just those of us who live in the evil metropolis.

And they have a large screen and two small tvs. Five pints for four pounds, I couldn't possibly think of watching football anywhere else now. If anybody is tempted it is on Gordon Street, and in Easy J's bar on the second floor. You don't need ID to get in before 5, and if you're scared of bumping into to me because I sound sad, mad or both, then avoid the girlie with short brown hair, orange t-shirt and blue cords and you'll have a whale of a time. Unless the boys do poorly of course. Four and a quarter hours to go, how am I going to survive? Internet shopping - I agree, total waste of time. After falling in love with My Drug Hell, Girl at the Bus stop, and wearing out my boyfriend's copy, I got withdrawal symptoms when we split up, so i went in search of it, and low and behold I found someone who said the would get it for me. Hah, good one. 'OOh, sorry our supplier's run out, but we will get it for you, honest.' So I have to live with the opertune recording I made when Claire Sturgess played it on X-fm, but she talked all over the end of it, cow. Anybody tried MacDonald's bacon double burgery thing with cheese? If you haven't don't cos it's totally revolting. only 4hrs to go, I'll have to do some totally pointless internet searching to make the hours fly by. Couldn't possibly do any work, learning all about internet gateways, networks and Z39.50 would just remind me too much of the impending game, shame. Has anyone heard of Spearmint? yet another band that does the London circuit, but they are ace, bubbly and into rhythm changes halfway through their songs and playing dictaphone recordings through their dictaphone (oddly enough, at least I think it was a dictaphone), and their lead singer's called Shirley. If you ever see any of their singles kicking around or have cash when the album comes out this summer then buy it, and if you really do hate it then I'll give you you're money back (if I have a job!) I think my time wasting efforts have bored you enough now, Vic xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

A lot of great groups come from London, the Kinks are probably my favourite English pop group of all time, the Clash were great on their day, and nowadays we've got Saint Etienne and Stereolab...but just as the Kinks could have come from nowhere other than London, the Smiths wouldn't have been the Smiths if they weren't from Manchester, B&S are a product of their environment. >I for one think London >is fucking wicked in almost every respect, I've lived here all my life (brief >sojourn in Bologna excepted), and fully intend to stay here for ever and ever. >I think it's beautiful, haunting, sexy, dark, vivacious, pretentious, cuddly >and grotesque, and I love it.

With respect, Mark, you're talking bollocks. I hadn't noticed a lack of London letters, far from it. Like most non-Londoners I'm sick to the back teeth of the London bias in the media, the way bands from "the provinces" are even now treated as a novelty. Look at how Manchester bands have their quotes reported phonetically ("fookin' 'ell") as if any variation on Estuary English is some sort of bumpkin dialect. London has had the limelight for as long as I can remember, and you can hardly blame the rest of us for saying "it's our turn now". >if you don't like this place you haven't got to know it nearly well enough. Maybe if you don't like London, you just don't like crowded tubes full of bad tempered passengers, bad air, fashion victims who don't dance, racists in the East End, stroppy taxi drivers and the overwhelming capital-centricity of far too many of its population. Myself, I like London for the most part. I like being able to find the records I want, see films, to see bands playing. I like Covent Garden and Soho, Thameside pubs, and Highgate Cemetry. And I'll probably end up moving there. But don't get all uppity if they happen to prefer somehere else. Rant over, Love Tag ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I thought they were just preparing to release Monday > Morning 5:15 for the umpteenth time, just on a different label now? > Wossit called? Rialto got dropped by East West Records less than a week before their album was due out, so inevitably by that time a lot of copies had been pressed. Some of these are now available "on import", on the basis that they weren't dropped by East West in some other countries. The fact that these imports are available for the price of a normal album makes me doubt if they are in fact imports... The band are going to release a remix of Monday Morning 5.19 next month, with at least one album track on the B-side I believe, followed by the proper release of their eponymous album shortly after. Actually I saw Rialto last night, and they were excellent. They were playing at Trinity College May Ball (yeah yeah, I know, this is the one time of year when us Cambridge students actually live up to our stereotype as extravagent, opulent types. I mean, prints of Monet paintings, and piped classical music, in the Portaloos? Although there aren't many chances in your lifetime to stand in beautiful surroundings, eating oysters, drinking vintage wine, watching a massive firework display... It might be elitist and poncey or whatever, but it's a bloody good night!). Given that it was only a college gig, you might have expected them to ease off a bit, not try particularly hard, and just be there for the money; but they really went for it, and we even got a moshpit going in the marquee, in dinner jackets. If you get the chance to see them, I would highly recommend it. Of course, one problem with going to a Cambridge May Ball (apart from the price...) is that they don't finish until 6am. So I'm off to go back to bed. The Tired Git ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Ooh, snidey - what I was referring to (as you well know) was all those nameless people out there who seem to rejoice in slagging off London whether they've ever been there or not, especially in comparison to a certain place which'll remain nameless. The only reason I'M talking about it all the time is cos I DO live there, it's what I know, it's where I go, and I love it just as much as you all love Glasgow/Preston/Pigsknuckle, Arkansas. And, of course, cos you keep winding me up about it :). > There are a lot of places worth talking, and a lot of people doing a lot of > interesting things - I didn't really think it mattered where they were from, > just that their letters were interesting.

And obviously you've found my comments interesting to some degree as you seem to be one of the ones "belting on about it" - have I justified myself enough yet?

Of course, everyones just gonna say i'm maybe just a teensy bit jealous- damn straight and i dont care who knows it. but i also have no qualms about slagging off glasgow, manchester, sheffield, bristol or anywhere else for that matter that recieves attention while i live in relative isolation from the majority of goings on in the country. I mean, where can you go when the last (v. unreliable) bus home is at 10pm? But still, london is the easiest target for a slagging, no matter what, 'specially as everyone there seems to love it and can't resist from letting everyone know that they feel this way. ok, ahm done... debbie x ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

It's the same in england sometimes, although never as day to day. It's just that sport brings it all out. Sport should be outlawed, or at least national team sports. That's why professional sport is so much better; it's about teams of people sponsored by companies, and although you can get hateful about corporations, people on the whole tend not to. I can't imagine anyone in my class in school going 'oh i HATE that Benesto team, bastards...' and not just because they wouldn't get interested in cycling. I hate the world cup not because i have little interest in soccer but because of the dreadful attitudes it brings out in people, and because it encourages those nationalist tendencies in the youth, who by rights we should be educating to be more tolerant. Or am i just an idiot.

So, I'm weighing up the pros and cons of being an expat, and considering leaving Los Angeles for home - home being London/Brighton. Advice from any listees with experience or opinions on both would be more than welcome. After all, the list bears some of the responsibility of my homesickness. All that talk of quaint olde english nonsense like public transport, football, television comedy, social lives, etc.- it's driving me mad, I tell you.

I like the way you think, especially the kids' tv stuff, so, to keep your mind off your other obsession until the new album comes out, here is a question. Can you remember all the theme tunes to Henry's Cat? We were playing a game the other night where someone had to hum a tv theme and the others had to guess what it was ( what a crazy, post-exam life I lead), and before they all started to sound like the theme to Miss Marple and after we'd done all the Grange Hill themes we could remember we came to Henry's Cat. Everyone knows the " So if you know someone who knows what he knows..." one and I could remember the "Doo doo di dumm, doo doo di dumm, da da da da dum de da da ..." one (which I think is the best), but I'm sure there's a third and I can't remember what it is. Oh dear this is becoming quite tedious. Well, there you go anyway. In my opinion the top children's cartoons have to be henry's Cat, bananaman, Mr benn and batfink (pow! pow! my wings are shields of steel!) Byee.

Most genuine football fans treat the world cup as a celebration of the worlds greastest sport. In this country it's just the mindless few with the idea firmly fixed in their heads that we are still at war with Germany and then given enough beer the rest of the world as well. I don't think this displays any nationalist tendencies rather a complete lack of brain cells. These people probably have very little interest in football.

Nationalism is a rotten trait, and Scots are certainly good at it as far as the English are concerned, same carry on though, it's generally a minority, I don't think it matters too much where footballs concerned, I don't even know if you can call it nationalism, seems like too strong a word, I'm happy to support Scotland as a football team, but I'm certainly not proud to come from here. For all this though I very much doubt whether anyone on this list would display any nationalist tendencies. Incidentally, Jimmy Hill was on Scottish telly just before the world cup started, and he was asked if he'd support Scotland under given cicrumstances and he pointed out that he'd support Scotland against Germany, cause we've fought Germany in two world wars.

Daft bastard. Yeah, I'm from Germany and it seems that a lot of people support foreign teams like Brazil or even Jamaica! Sure, most interest (even by me) is for the German team, but I think it's natural when you watch your country's team. You have something in common, but I wouldn't call it nationalism. Some might think different (hooligans, wether English or German). Anyway, I have seen the new Baddiel/Skinner/Lightning Seeds video and I laughed, till the tears came. German spectators really suck. They look like from Eastern Germany, about we make a lot of jokes of. These beards and fucking 80's haircuts! Now you see, why good music doesn't have a chance here!

I'm surprised to hear this. I was lucky enough to be over in Edinburgh for the Festival last year, and the Referendum for Devolution was on at the time. I couldn't get over how many people weren't interested at all, or how many people were saying on the telly that they were voting no because they might have to pay an extra penny in the pound tax for a parliament. A small price to pay for having your own say, I would have thought. > nationalism is a dreadful trait to have... Only if it's at the expense of others, I'm very proud to be Irish, I even try and speak the (dying) native language from time to time. But this does not make me anti-English. I most certainly am not. I love the place, love the bands, love the TV, love the football. Being proud of where you're from doesn't mean that you're a terrorist or a hooligan or whatever. > I hate the world cup not because i have little interest in soccer but because of the > dreadful attitudes it brings out in people, and because it encourages those > nationalist tendencies in the youth, who by rights we should be educating to > be more tolerant The only "dreadful attitudes" I've seen have been from a couple of hundred NF tossers. This shouldn't be allowed to ruin the rest of the tournament. To me the last week has been a celebration of different cultures. The most wonderful sight of the world cup has been Nigeria stuffing Spain despite their "defensive naivety" (thank you Ron, Kevin, etc). Why shouldn't those people feel proud of what their countrymen had done against the odds? It was the same for me when Ireland beat Italy in the last World Cup. Sure we were terrible to watch, and half the team were Anglos anyway, but I still felt as proud as hell and it didn't inspire me to go out and smash some windows. I was in Italy at the time, and all the Italians came over and shook our hands after the game. Having said all that, I can understand part of what The Duke is trying to say. Nationalism in the "Our country is better than yours" sense can be pretty ugly stuff, I wouldn't like to give the impression that I'm in favour of that kind of thing. Sorry if this has bored the arse off you all. I did have to read about Dangermouse for a week though. Ronandinho. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

They insist on putting labels on EVERYTHING - eg death rock, electronica. and they use the term shoegazing to a horrible degree.

I think that the American wish to label everything has less to do with labels and more to do with borders and individuality. Everyone in the US has to feel so distinctive because no one really gives a rat's ass about their lives. So they label everything under the sun in a pathetic attempt to be distinctive. Americans are very protective of what they believe is theirs. I don't know if you've heard about this, but there is such a negative response to poor Mexicans attempting to cross the border that a lot of Americans have a stereotypical view of Mexicans, even though most Americans (the people in California, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona excluded) have ever met one. Thus the great land of immigrants becomes a place of bigots and ignorant fools. Hell, customs agents even give native Americans shit. I went to canada in March, and on the way in, I didn't get any crap from the Canadian customs agent at all. But when we tried to cross back in to the US, the zit faced customs agent gave us shit because my one friend was from Colorado and his small brain couldn't imagine a scenario where someone from Colorado might go to grad school in Ohio. When he asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, I told her she should have said "A US customs agent." No wonder everyone hates Americans so much. We suck.

Suffice to say I agree with Debbie and Duke, except for the bit about Banesto, who I can't fucking stand the sight of. Having said that, one of my greatest thrills was to be in the presence of Miguel Indurain, the greatest athlete ever to walk the earth. I must have put some kind of evil hoodoo on him by accident because he retired about a month later. "In the presence of" means he whizzed past me on his bike. The Rolling Stones (sans Mick) are in town, so I've just been to hang out around the hotel, hoping for some typical madcap balcony antics from Keith, but it wasn't to be. In fact the whole scene was decidedly un-rock'n'roll. Hopefully things'll pick up next week when Black Sabbath roll into town (crushing everything in their path) for their OZFEST warm up. I might even invest in a ticket, see if that bloke's still dancing around in his pyjamas. Brad, you're right, Mister Wilson is a bugger up the back. Thank goodness for Eugene Landy's magical aura. Have you got to the Lenny Waronker bit yet? Genevieve, Rick Wakeman was the keyboard player in Yes. He went on to make some great solo albums and provide the soundtrack to the film of the 1976 (?) winter olympics, which I believe were held in Canada. Which is where you live. So without you knowing it your life is pervaded by Rick Wakeman tunes 24 hours a day. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Not where Rick's concerned. You will recall that he was immortalised in one of Doctor Trousers' sadly missed Monday Poems. Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I have been enjoying, however, the Duke's tales of Devon life - I almost broke my back at Dawlish Warren and narrowly escaped death by golf ball on Haldon Moor, so it brings back warm memories. And Newton Abbot is the most frightening place I've ever been (that should add a new angle to the London vs everywhere else debate). I also completely love it and it has a snuggly place very close to my heart. More please! Another convert for you all - the lovely young lady I was seeing until Monday was spotted chainsmoking out of window listening to B&S on a loop all Tuesday morning (and no, I didn't cruelly discard her - more the opposite, actually - I'm too romantic to ever dump anyone (read "cowardly" for "romantic", if you're feeling ungenerous)). She'll never be able to listen to "You made me forget my dreams" without my fizzog leering through her memories. That'll teach her! :) I'm off up west to watch Italy vs Cameroon this evening in one of the Italian places in East Soho, so if anyone sees a sobbing bloke in a crumpled AC Venezia top (serie A awaits! Well done the lads!) wandering around disconsolately at 10 o'clock tonight, give him a big hug and buy him a consoling kebab, that'd be nice. Banesto suck. Up Motorola! (though my dad used to take me to all Gan's home games as a nipper, but they're shit now, and Motorola have that tasty Brazilian up front, after all).

Cool, I had one in my pub too, only his teeth weren't broken, they just weren't there. We had a conversation in the toilet and despite us both being from the same city, I didn't have a fucking clue what he said. Doesn't it make you feel proud to be scottish! Nationalism is shit, salmond is a cunt for encouraging it , and don't get me fucking started about blair, ditching expensive scotland to pay for home counties' votes.

I wouldn't consider myself lucky to be a Lenny conquest. Look what happens to your career afterwards! Speaking of football, let's talk American football a bit. I was amused to find that the local Fox affiliate was covering the World bowl championship between Rhein Fire and Frankfurt. I thought "naw, this is too weird. americans aren't interested in what's going on in the world, so why are we covering this?" And chalked it up to it merely being a cure for football withdrawal for desperate fans until I noticed that the roster had many American players and was sponsored by the NFL. Let me say that I wouldn't be paying a bit of attention to any sport except that it's part of my job at work. What;s the matter? Do the Europeans not care enough to sponsor their own league, do the Americans have to own everything, or is it like eurodisney? I noticed that the stands were full, but I wonder if it was mostly tourists, or people who couldn't get to a soccer match. In my stay in Europe, never did I get the impression that American football was big. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Remember, I know where you live... On a more serious note (except possibly to Rob's health...):- Can I just say, nationalism sucks. I'm not proud of being British - we've been responsible for the deaths of more people around the world than any other country in history. But I do support the England and Scotland football teams, for the same reason as I support Cambridge in their inevitable annual sporting victories over Oxford; because it's enjoyable cheering the team on, or whatever. Most sports fans don't think it's a matter of life or death, it just makes them happy to see their team win. The hooligans that have appeared in marseille and other places recently aren't football fans, I doubt if many of them care about football in the slightest, they just like causing trouble whether it be at a football international or, say, and England cricket test match at Headingley. Finally, in a quite remarkable twist, something both on-topic and relevant! In today's Melody Maker, Chris Geddes is asked about football; and in particular, which football team he would compare B&S to, to which he answered: "We're the Manchester City of pop. People still come and see us, no matter how bad we get." So football is a valid topic of conversation on the list after all...

Listen, I'm going to ask something that got me in trouble when I last dared. A few people are saying to me that the list is exploding with quantity and not quality - in the past I've given little honey-hints and it's time to throw one in now - please could you have a little think about what you're posting *just* before you do, and not follow a thread wildly if it's WAY off topic. We're a community and of course we don't want to talk just about all the B&S releases that keep coming out every week, but still - you know - there's a balance. It's a hard one to strike but take a look at the WWW page for some ideas on where that lies from me and others. This is a very special mailing list, thanks to you lot, and I'd like to keep it that way, both by encouraging the content to stay high, and by saving my poor mail server from exploding under the weight. Everything seems wildly interesting to the person posting (except this mail :) but please remember there's 500 of us out there listening. Oh and simmer down on the nationalism a little - one thing I won't have on Sinister is personal slaggings. Strong debate is fine, talking about nationalism is fine to a point, except when it becomes a minority fight between a few people, but I won't tolerate a personal fight on the list - it's just boring to the rest of us. Hey and I found a few world cup mailing lists out there - anyone want the URLs? :) Finally, some people keep sending mail to me rather than the list and I have to bounce it on to the list when I'm feeling generous (at the moment my email delay time is about ooo 4 days at least except if mails contain the word "thighs" in the subject line). Please remember - a direct reply to the list of digest will NOT go back to the list - you have to retype "sinister at majordomo.net".

Suicide - linked with Belle and Sebastian! Christ, that's smart, I suppose perhaps the wobbly noise at the end of you made me forget my dreams - a bit, only vaguely. Suicide are top though and their first record "Suicide" which has just had it's price digitally remastered is still well worth getting a hold of. But they're about as far away as you could possibly get from B+S, in fact I think I may be responsible for this misconception in a way, a long time ago there was a thread about what songs B+S should cover and I submitted "Ghost Rider" by Suicide, sorry about that, it was a bit of a joke really (if you could call something that isn't funny a 'joke'). Suicide are very minimal, a drum machine, a monophonic synthesizer and delay on Alan Vega's voice. B+S supported the Tindersticks a couple of years ago, and they're totally great, well worth getting absolutely everything by too. Stuart and Isobel are big Go Betweens fans, however I'm not one to comment muchon them, I've only got one album however I'm sure someone else on the list will be able to tell you what they're like. I'm not a huge fan. Trembling blue stars I haven't heard, and I don't really plan to hear them either, still again, loads of people on the list like them, so you might. I was in the pub last night with my old flatmate and he mentioned something about some weird goings on with a certain large record company and bankruptcy looming, which sounds a bit worrying from a lot of bands point of view, imagine, the whole rooster dropped all at once!

Tallulah is the best album they made (just my personal opinion), whereas 16 Lovers Lane is the most shiny jangly pop one. The nearest Tindersticks come to B&S is probably the song Patchwork on their first album, but most people seem to prefer the second album. If you're looking to buy a record I saw a Monochrome Set compilation CD called "Tommorow will be too long" at just �6.99 in Tower Records recently. It's actually all of the tracks from their first two albums lumped together. May I offer my sincerest apologies to Debbie for suggesting that she came from Preston, as if she didn't have enough to contend with yesterday. Apologies also to Sarah for misdirecting my reminiscences (Wycombe are also in division two and thus will be playing against not only Preston but also "the Belle and Sebastian of football" next season). I've never heard Wycombe called a nice rural town before, the nicest description I can think of is "the place where they make Fuzzy Felt". Unfortunately I now live in "the place where they make Prozac". Kevan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

The story behind the letter below is that there is this nutball in Newport, RI named Scott Williams who digs things out of his backyard and sends the stuff he finds to the Smithsonian Institute, labeling them with scientific names, insisting that they are actual archaeological finds. This guy really exists and does this in his spare time! Anyway...here's the actual response from the Smithsonian Institution. Bear this in mind next time you think you are challenged in your duty to respond to a difficult situation in writing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Smithsonian Institute 207 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20078 Dear Mr. Williams: Thank you for your latest submission to the Institute, labeled "93211-D, layer seven, next to the clothesline post...Hominid skull." We have given this specimen a careful and detailed examination, and regret to inform you that we disagree with your theory that it represents conclusive proof of the presence of Early Man in Charleston County two million years ago. Rather, it appears that what you have found is the head of a Barbie doll, of the variety that one of our staff, who has small children, believes to be "Malibu Barbie." It is evident that you have given a great deal of thought to the analysis of this specimen, and you may be quite certain hat those of us who are familiar with your prior work in the field were loathe to come to contradiction with your findings. However, we do feel that there are a number of physical attributes of the specimen which might have tipped you off to its modern origin: 1. The material is molded plastic. Ancient hominid remains are typically fossilized bone. 2. The cranial capacity of the specimen is approximately 9 cubic centimeters, well below the threshold of even the earliest identified proto-homonids. 3. The dentition pattern evident on the skull is more consistent with the common domesticated dog than it is with the ravenous man-eating Pliocene clams you speculate roamed the wetlands during that time. This latter finding is certainly one of the most intriguing hypotheses you have submitted in your history with this institution, but the evidence seems to weigh rather heavily against it. Without going into too much detail, let us say that: A. The specimen looks like the head of a Barbie doll that a dog has chewed on. B. Clams don't have teeth. It is with feelings tinged with melancholy that we must deny your request to have the specimen carbon-dated. This is partially due to the heavy load our lab must bear in its normal operation, and partly due to carbon-dating's notorious inaccuracy in fossils of recent geologic record. To the best of our knowledge, no Barbie dolls were produced prior to 1956 AD, and carbon-dating is likely to produce wildly inaccurate results. Sadly, we must also deny your request that we approach the National Science Foundation Phylogeny Department with the concept of assigning your specimen the scientific name Australopithecus spiff-arino. Speaking personally, I, for one, fought tenaciously for the acceptance of your proposed taxonomy, but was ultimately voted down because the species name you selected was hyphenated, and didn't really sound like it might be Latin. However, we gladly accept your generous donation of this fascinating specimen to the museum. While it is undoubtedly not a Hominid fossil, it is, nonetheless, yet another riveting example of the great body of work you seem to accumulate here so effortlessly. You should know that our Director has reserved a special shelf in his own office for the display of the specimens you have previously submitted to the Institution, and the entire staff speculates daily on what you will happen upon next in your digs at the site you have discovered in your Newport back yard. We eagerly anticipate your trip to our nation's capital that you proposed in your last letter, and several of us are pressing the Director to pay for it. We are particularly interested in hearing youexpand on your theories surrounding the trans-positating fillifitation of ferrous ions in a structural matrix that makes the excellent juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex femur you recently discovered take on the deceptive appearance of a rusty 9-mm Sears Craftsman automotive crescent wrench.

Message-ID: Hey Kids. It's Neil here. Just writing to say that if you're in Glasgow on Saturday, and aren't doing anything at 12 or 12.30 (I can't remember which), 7/8ths of B&S are playing at Hyndland Church on Hyndland Road. It's an hour-long singing sort of affair, where the band will be playing gospel and spiritually sort of stuff, plus a little bit of pop, and the congregation all sing along. I don't think there's any service or sermon or anything, in case the thought of preaching offends anyone who might otherwise fancy going along. They won't be playing any of their own stuff, and if you go, you're expected to sing, or at least mouth along. I don't know. It might be quite fun. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it. You won't miss anything in The Longest Day. Nothing decent anyway. Cheers, Neil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Mansun and Embrace have already complained but... one track is more than enough from them as far as I'm concerned, what about our beloved B&S? The EP has been a perfectly good format for 40-odd years, why the sudden probem now? And if we have to then buy 2 versions of the CD single to get the same amount of music, thats hardly a solution either. And where does that leave "hidden" tracks, e.g. 3...6...9 Seconds?

I know quite a few people on this list have been bewitched by the magic of Nick Drake; on Saturday, there's a programme on Radio 2 all about his life, with interviews with famous fans and that. It's at 7 pm, and I'll be taping it if anyone wants it. It's worth listening to even if you're not a fan, as they're bound to play some of his stuff, and as has been pointed out, Drake sounds fairly like our beloved Stu M, even if the band 'can't bear to listen to him'. (I think it's all an elaborate smoke screen actually- (Hazy Jane/Lazy Jane Mary Jane/Mary Jo? Mmmm.) BTW, is anyone else going to T in the Park? In an attempt to heal the growing rift between the London and Glasgow 'crews' Me and my Hairy Friend are going up for a little Holiday in Glasgow and then the festival, and it would be nice to put faces to the names. Not many Scottish bands playing this year, are there?:-( Oh, and if there are any young, unemployed actors on the list, they might do well to look at the site below. In a sad attempt to become famous, I've set up a production company, named appropriately enough Pish, and I need actors, crew etc. Right, I've abused the list enough now. Bye Bye Seb.

LAter, they had Amanda Brown who was an angel in angels' clothing. They made the greatest records EVER and then they split up, allowing Forster and McLennan to make solo records that were never quite as great although they sometimes come close. Anything is classy, and Beggars Banquet reissued them all at low price, which is a bonus. Liberty Belle is my fave, although Tallulah, 16 lovers Lane and Before Hollywood all push it close. Lovers lane sounded polished at the time but played again now it just sounds divine and has some to-die-for songs on. if the new Belle LP is 'polished' like this then i shall be happy :-) the Go-Betweens are nothing like David Gedge. The Delgados also have little in common with david Gedge, and Peloton is a classy record and no mistake, which makes me think of Swirlies a lot, which is A Good Thing. they have a thing about cycling references, hence Delgados, Peloton and Domestiques. Wasn't there a record with Van Impe as well? Cool. 'Pull the Wires from the Wall' was a single was it not? Single of the year then? quite possibly. love you all. the duke. PS for yougsters, David GEdge was singer in the dreary Wedding Present who made two good singles in the mid 1980s and then repeated the formula of love-sick and hard done by male angst thing to death over the rest of the decade. Formula is Pop, but only if it's a good formula ;-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

As for B&S content, some of you may remember Pulp being pinned against B&S in a review of some sort. And I do recall reports of Mr. Cocker being at the Union Chapel concert back last summer. I had my B&S badge on my bag at the show, but Jarvis was unable to pick it out from the crowd of a few thousand people in the dark. That proves he must be a regular person with regular capabilities afterall. B&S live would seem more at home in a small club, or a living room (better yet--the Duke's Living Room club); Pulp needed a large stage to fill up with their glorious noise. However being in a large club meant that I did not see a certain someone with a purple B&S t-shirt of the two kids until after the show in a crowd on the sidewalk. Just wondering if this person is on the list. If you are, hello; if you aren't, then everyone else ignore this. There's no shame being a B&S fan these days--at least not on this mailing list! :-) Living and loving Matthew ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Thanks to Leslie and Emily I have decided that we really ought to make an effort. Unfortunately, I let my digests stack up a mile high until now, and so missed Leslie's posting of the Autour de Lucie shows. I went on Tuesday (before Pulp) and on Wednesday. What did you think ? ( You were not wearing that maroon glitter shirt ! ? ) Anyway, I should be at Fez on Saturday. Summer solstice would have been perfect for a picnic, but I guess that it is too short notice to arrange. So, let me know of what you think, as well as any ideas as to when and where we should hold it. E-mail me directly ! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Transport: We're meeting at 2pm outside Highbury & Islington tube station which is on the Victoria Line and also on the BR line that loops North London (main interchanges are Green Park, Kings Cross, Euston and Finsbury Park). You can also get there by catching a bus, call London Transport on 0181 777 1234 for details of buses. Location: The picnic itself will take place on Highbury Fields behind the 'garage' venue, if you arrive late or don't want to meet us at the tube station you can get to the fields by crossing the main round and walking beside the bank down the small road where you'll see the field area, the field may be obscrured by the childrens swimming pool (amid some bushes), but we'll be on the other side of that under a tree, if the weather is fine we'll be there till dusk. Events/Games: connect 4, twister, croquet, soccer, rounders/baseball, climbing trees and lamp-posts, drinking copious amounts of alcohol, playing on the swings and see saw, listening to music, possibly making a film, silly teenage games like "stuck in the mud", etc. We encourage people to bring along games and activities, especially if loads of people can participate in them. What to bring? well apart from yourself in a fine mood and with a sense of humour we'd recommend a larger item of food for the communal pile (things like pringles & dips, sausage rolls, a salad, quiche, you know the stuff) and some alcohol. At the last picnic our communal pile of food covered a large blanket, it really makes it feel like a feast and adds to the atmosphere. For those that are not travelling too far could you also bring board games, footballs, etc. We'll try to have a stereo (courtesy of Susannah or Trousers), but please don't bring a ton of tapes as we won't have time to play them! If it pishes down? well then you'd find everyone in the pub beside the tube station, you simply come out of the station and turn right and walk into the pub! Updates: On the day you can phone 0181 560 1815 after 11am for updates. It's just an ansaphone, but will let you know of any changes, and if it's raining, it should let you know where we'll be. Problems or questions? then mail david at d.kitchen at virgin.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- We'll see you there! cheers, Katrina. -- ******************************************************************** jeepster recordings ltd. - a-and-r at jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn ph - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Are these sort of rulings something that just happens in the UK? If so then for the benefit of those outside the UK these spurious rulings are made by the people who compile our music charts. Record companies then pretty much have to comply if they want their releases to get listed in the charts - and most do. The death knell for vinyl was sounded in the UK when they made a similar ruling about the maximum number of formats that could be counted towards a single's sales and, if I remember rightly, there was a rule introduced around the start of the eighties to stop record companies giving away weird and wonderful free gifts with records in order to boost sales. None of these rules could really be said to have enhanced pop music. Kevan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

The other day I was listening to the dark and long single by Underworld, which I haven't listened to for ages, but once it finished the CD player shows how long the whole single is, and by accident or design, it's 39 minutes 59 seconds - not bad is it. Indeed the number of tracks on a single has been reduced from 4 till 3, however no-one seems to have pointed out that B+S's last single quite happily got in the charts. NIce trick that. Bit strange as well how you could easily get around this sort of thing. The Stone Roses' Standing Here for example, sounds like two separate songs really, could you claim that your six songs were just sections of the same song? I think we should start a petition to get Genesis to release "Supper's ready" which is a fuckoff big multi-parted thingy (or so my friends tell me ;), just to test the water.

Generally, I only pay 1-99 for cd singles at the most anyway - if they're more I'll shop around or wait and get them somewhere else. What are they going to do about bands like Feeder who put their videos on the end of their singles? Does this count towards the 20 minutes? Is there anyone we can complain long, loudly and bitterly to? Nick. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Now _that_ is P!O!P!. Wouldn't you say? and of course he was right. i was of course being a little tongue in cheek with my post, both about the solitary song and the reference to the groove farm, who, frankly, were fun for, oooh, five minutes at least and i liked the corelation between that and mansun, who have been something rather less than fun for far too bloody long imho. i think Pop records should be two sided slabs of 7" vinyl... using the cd format negates the thrill of flipping the disc over and playing the 'b-side'. it just becomes 'track 2', which is a great deal less interesting. but if we must have cd singles, i am seduced by the idea of one song mini-cds, selling for the price of a packet of crips, or chips for our transatlantic cousins. then for all the great songs that timbo listed, we could just have more little mini-cd thingies, couldn't we? Now how cute would that be? the duke, who has moved on from the peloton and is now delving back through his Magnetic Fields records and going, 'aw...'.

I finished my exams this morning I finished my exams this morning I finished my exams this morning na naa naaa naa aa laaal laaaaaaa laaa Unfortunately, this has had an adverse effect on my normally logical thought process and has now resulted in myself eating only a bowl of bran flakes today. anyway, get the kids tv stuff out of the way first: yes, I do remember Henry's Cat theme tune. How could I forget? Bananaman: and when eric eats a bannnaaaaanaaa..... Us kids were thinking of invading your grown up picnic on sunday, what with the heatwave and that, but that would just be scary. I got excited by the fact that I could bake a cake on Saturday, but as bethey rightly pointed out, we wouldn't speak to anyone and just grunt in a corner somewhere. Besides, bethey's grandma needs a visit, so I'm sure you understand. London: the same as sheffield, except in london, there's loads of crap bits in between the good bits. so there. Katrina-darling: when is that fabulous salako songette coming out please? B&S question: on the story on Tigermilk, it says "Belle's most recent song is called Rag Day. Sebastian's is called The Fox In The Snow." We all know the old fox in the old snow exists, but does Rag Day?. Another B&S question: There will be a story with the new B&S album, won't there. They're wonderful and I love them. I laarrrvee them. >Is anyone else miffed that under a new ruling UK singles are >going to be restricted to a maximum of three tracks? Surely an ep's an ep. Anyway, it's much much nearer a single than an album. Honestly - fair competition and that. I mean: Well, I was going to buy Embrace/Spice Girls/The Verve/All Saints/The Wombles, but I mean this must be so much better - it's got one more track on it! WOw! Or not really. As the case may be. The old duke: >The Delgados also have little in common with david Gedge, Really, well my trainspotter knowledge is able to tell you that emma from the delgados has recorded a b-side with old gedgey for his next single. But it's net very good - it's got stick-on pop bits - like a 60s flute and some 70s strings, but they're not really part of the song. I'm sure you know what I mean. Peloton is rather delicious, also.

The immigration legislation of recent years in the US is just political manipulation by leaders in order to gain power...in this case, they're working on people's xenophobia. A proposition in California a few years ago (unfortunately, it passed, but fortunately it's been blocked in court) Prop. 187, gave school teachers and employers the right to report anyone they _suspected_ of being an illegal (*The granting of legal immigrant status is really arbitrary) immigrant...meaning based on looks, which is where it all becomes overtly racist. It was aimed at a fear of Mexican immigration into California. They cleverly masked it as an economic issue, but if you actually looked at the facts, it turned out that illegal immigrants put money into the US, since they have taxes withheld, but cannot file tax returns to get any of it back. The proposition served its purpose though, it helped the governor get re-elected. Anyway, sorry to anyone who was bored by this, but if anyone has any questions, feel free to email me. Long live the music. Oh also, I'm visiting San Diego for 2 weeks, and if anyone knows any good record stores around the area, please email me. I went to Off the Record in Hillcrest...it was nice, but didn't have a lot of what I was looking for.

Neil wrote: >7/8ths of B&S are playing at Hyndland Church on Hyndland Road. It's an hour-long >singing sort of affair, where the band will be playing gospel and spiritually sort of >stuff, plus a little bit of pop, and the congregation all sing along. I hope they do "I am a Pilgrim" a la the Byrds..... Which reminds of a rather nice moment I had a few months back. Four people dressed in our Sunday best standing atop a earthen embankment in a farm field in Pennsylvania on a saturday night, the first full moon of the spring. As we gazed out at the fields we were thinking of a song to sing, and course I thought a B&S song would we just be perfect, but as usual, when one or more B&S fans get together no one can remember any words. So Shilough and Shenadoah started singing "I am a Pilgrim". And we made our way home and drank much red wine and lit candles and listened to Leonard Cohen records. But that was in the cool refreshing days of spring and now its hot and sticky and I think that I was the person that a certain Matthew saw on the sidewalk outside the Pulp concert in NYC a few nights ago. There's the whole issue of wearing band tshirts to a concert, when one should be dressing up and looking good, esp. for Pulp. But it was hot and sticky and I had to drive a long way in rush hour traffic and was thinking that comfort was more important than looking good. But then again, anybody looks good in a B&S tshirt. Bought from a rather dodgy looking character on the outskirts of Manchester. (Just kidding, I got it at Fopp on Byres Road in Glasgow) And to the person that talked to me outside before hand, who I can only assume is on this list (she said she had seen B&S 5 times), sorry for just sort of drifting off. I was trying to track down a few people and was not quite myself (two pints and a Johnny Walker Black within the space of an hour on an empty stomach) And to the person that talked to me after the show, who is planning to make...... nevermind. Was it just me or was your face sparkling? Nice to meet you both, and maybe I'll meet Matthew someday. And Mr. Cocker didn't notice the shirt even though I was in the front hanging on to my friend, when I should have been in back complaining how they weren't as good as the last time they came to NYC. And one more thing.... A Sarah said..... >....don't even know who the groove farm are, but a >tenner they sound like the wonderstuff. I found that quite amusing. And another thing, Duke..... Does your pal Kevin Pearce dig Belle and Sebastian? I recently acquired Hurrah's Way Ahead lp and I quite enjoyed his enthusiastic liner notes. I think he should write some for B+S. Pure emotion...Pure expression...Soul...giving the impression of a desperate need to communicate and touching upon the sense of struggle and all the frustration and everything that tends to be part of trying to get through something like that love Carrick _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Author: "Karen David" at Internet-Gateway Date: 18/6/98 12:33 Hey Kids. It's Neil here. Just writing to say that if you're in Glasgow on Saturday, and aren't doing anything at 12 or 12.30 (I can't remember which), 7/8ths of B&S are playing at Hyndland Church on Hyndland Road. It's an hour-long singing sort of affair, where the band will be playing gospel and spiritually sort of stuff, plus a little bit of pop, and the congregation all sing along. I don't think there's any service or sermon or anything, in case the thought of preaching offends anyone who might otherwise fancy going along. They won't be playing any of their own stuff, and if you go, you're expected to sing, or at least mouth along. I don't know. It might be quite fun. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it. You won't miss anything in The Longest Day. Nothing decent anyway. Cheers, Neil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Yes, that's agreed. I had a conversation with my grandfather yesterday about how listening to a record was so much more enjoyable because of the process which you must go through (i.e. sliding the record out of its sleeve, placing the platter upon the turntable, brushing off the dust (if you have a record brush. If you don't, you should), lifting the tonearm and placing it onto the record. However, I am somewhat less enthusiastic about LPs, as they're very large and if you broke one you stand to lose a lot more songs that if you break a single. Somehow having a feeble form of recorded music is less threatening when it only contains a couple of songs. However, every time I listen to my copy of Emma's House (the perfect argument for why singles should contain four songs) I cringe and worry about all the little grooves deteriorating. That's why I'm going to get a CD-R soon =) But for everyday vinyl, yeah, 45s are super fab. > but if we must have cd singles, i am > seduced by the idea of one song mini-cds, selling for the price of a packet > of crips, or chips for our transatlantic cousins. then for all the great > songs that timbo listed, we could just have more little mini-cd thingies, > couldn't we? Now how cute would that be? As with anything cute, it's already being done in Japan. When I was in Japantown in San Francisco (a wonderful place, you should all go there at some point in time) in one of the stores they were selling said CD singles. Of course, they weren't very cheap, really, but nothing there was =) However, can you listen to those in a normal stereo without an adapter? Yeah, a little packet with two of those WOULD be really neat, instead of a big clonky LP-length CD. > PS: just out of interest, how many crushes per day is the average? When school is in session I can average a good 5-8 a day ;) Of course here in my hometown I rarely even see someone my age who is of the opposite sex. /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - mick at indiepop.com - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - sandcastlerecords at indiepop.com | | Sandcastle Homepage - http://indiepop.com/sandcastle/ | | | | "Everyone has their own cup of tea. | | Some just happen to like a lot of sugar in it!" | | - Me! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I agree this is a tragedy, but was a bit surprised to learn that the average major label release sells about 9,000 copies! Yes, even stuff by Geffen's label that they spent a million bucks trying to record and promote is sitting on the $4.99 rack hoping to God that someone will buy it. B&S's songs barely scraped the airwaves except in a few college towns and yet, with no big label support, they were able to do this much. I am sad that Matador is owned by Capitol now because I like true indie status and not having to bow to major corporations, but hey, this is me we're talking about. Now, I'm going to moan about the radio again. Why in the hell are they releasing songs by people who all sound exactly the same? I'm so tired of driving home from work, turning on my radio and hearing Semisonic every damn day. They need to stop. I'm already tired when I leave, so the last thing I need to do is fall asleep behind the wheel. I would consider Frank Zappa more alternative than most bands I hear, but he's only played on classic rock stations. Also, i don't know if anyone else sees it the way I do, but why does Galaxie 500 sound much better with the sound turned all the way up? That album i have is only OK if it's played at a normal level. s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

"peloton" refers to a group of cyclists in a cycling race, ala delgados (spanish cycling guy) and domestiques (another cycling term). has anyone heard the v twin single ? i spent most of the last week in edinburgh in the company of The Don, and he assures me it is coming out on Domino soon - this will feature several of b&s as well as the multi talented Mr. Jason McPhail. which can't be bad. i have a vanessa paradis story - i appreciate this is now out of date. she had a single out a few years ago, which featured her own inimitable interpretation of the velvets "Waiting for the Man" on the b side. thing is, it's definitely vanessa when you play it at 45... but when you play it at 33 - oh my word, it's lenny kravitz. coincidence? i don't think so. anyway, it's nice to be back in brighton, even if it is very hot. if you want to have a picnic here, good luck to you. we'll be in the heart & hand. lots of love, andy williams xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Yeah, a little packet with two of those WOULD be really neat, instead of a big clonky LP-length CD. * hmmm, what are you referring to? 3" cd singles? this reminds me of several cool tiny 3" cd singles. the nicest being the dayglo orange checkbook sized plastic package that contains two little wonderful orange 3" cds by the fall ( jerusalem is the song, from the kuriouis oranj lp ). i think that was the first UK 3" cd single, and certainly the first multi-pack, in any case. oher nice tiny cds are the primitvies 'crash' ( i think it had just the one track, so there you go! very compact), the jesus and may chain put out both 'blues from a gun' and 'head on' as 3" cds ( as well as 'sidewalking' but it came in a regular cd single case, not a nice little package ), and the sundays had 'can't be sure'. also, quite a few SST ( minutemen, husker du, and das damen jump to my mind) singles were originally released on 3" cds, before being re-issued in the much more popular regular size, as were some oldies, such as a bunch of beatles singles - in fact, someone had a whole website dedicated to the 3" format. i think pizzicato 5 have released a whole slew of them, also. and, the ultimate use of tiny cds are the 12 cd 'pills' for spiritualized "ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space". The 12 album tracks are on 12 individual 3" cds, in a foil-sealed palstic package, like pills in a blister pack. er, but none of these ever sold too cheaply... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Among other things, we discovered that no lyrics and/or chords about these groups were avaliable on the net. A listmember (His Popness the duke) said:"... maybe someone should start something themselves :-)" I did. And now I'm proud (and embarassed) to announce my web page "In Salford the Sun doesn't Shine". The url is: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Mezzanine/8926/index.html Take a look and please help me with your critics (my HTML is primitive) and files (other chords and lyirics). I tried to understand the lyrics and I know there are many mistakes. Please correct me.

A friend of mine, who used to be barely more than an acquaintance in high school, came back from his first year of college apparently liking some of the music I was into. There were always a little bit of common ground...the Pixies...the Beach Boys, but nothing unusual. So I called him & we talked for a long time about music this afternoon. This evening I invited him over to listen to records. He'd pretty much become totally infatuated with the Magnetic Fields, but knew relatively little else. So, I tried to let him hear a bunch of things I thought would strike a nice chord with him. When I asked the question "have you heard Belle & Sebastian?" he came to an affirmative answer! =) Then I let him listen to a million and one records, CDs, and tapes, and he came out greatly liking #Poundsign#, Eggstone & Trembling Blue Stars to boot! Woo! I get to play the mentor role! Yay! In unrelated news, I spent a large portion of my day making my father a mixtape for tomorrow. I want to tape him a B&S song, as he's shown a bit of curiosity about them, but I don't know which song... He really likes the Beatles, the Beach Boys, & Steely Dan (hehe). Keep in mind that I've only got IYFS & Dog on Wheels (waiting for that EPs comp that has been pushed back FURTHER *groan*) and some stuff that is bad recording quality. Any suggestions? So far the best I can do is "Me and the Major." =D Oh, and if you're waiting for an e-mail reply from me, sorry, but I've been busy. It's also 5 AM right now =P If only my friends hadn't dropped by for ice cream with caramel...yummmmmmmmmmmmm......;) /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - mick at indiepop.com - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - sandcastlerecords at indiepop.com | | Sandcastle Homepage - http://indiepop.com/sandcastle/ | | | | "Everyone has their own cup of tea. | | Some just happen to like a lot of sugar in it!" | | - Me! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: <000201bd9d0f$2484dfc0$200c93c3@default> Hi Katrina, First off, £1.99 for CD singles is a very fair price, when you consider you can more often than not pick up CD albums for £11.99 first week of release featuring 12-14 tracks, four tracks for £4.99 was bad enough, £4.99 for 3 tracks is going to be a complete rip off. 99p for 7" even though I hardly ever buy them is great and probably the only good thing to come out of this new ruling will be the inevitable resurgence in the 7" format when the punters say "sod that extra track on the CD, I'll get the vinyl for a damn sight cheaper price". Not that singles sell that well anyway if the NME is to be believed. Bands getting number ones with 21000 singles sold and all that. The chart is a load of old cack anyway, so call me biased towards the record buyer if you like, but screw the singles chart, stick with tradition, keep the e.p alive and keep the punters happy at the same time. Not that they wouldn't buy it anyway, losing a track on a single won't put most people off their favourite bands, not me for one. WE WANT FOUR TRACKS ON OUR CD SINGLES....... OR SOMETHING, DEATH TO CIN AND THE MONEY GRABBING MAJORS..... FREE GEORGE JACKSON..... ERRR.... AND LOTS OF OTHER SOCIALIST COMMENTS WHICH I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT..... NURSE!!!!!, MY PILLS PLEASE. Actually I think I've found a good reason to cut CD singles down to three tracks. Think about it, less tracks by horrible boy/girl bands being released..... and Stereophonics as well. Wouldn't the world be a better place with 6 less Boyzone songs a year being released ?. 87) Gary ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Woo! I get to play the mentor role! Yay! Damn...i wish i had somebody to play the mentor role for me. When the only way you can hear new stuff is to go out on a limb and buy it, and nobody wants to hire you for a summer job, you're kind of stuck. Bleh... But i have a real, B&S-content-laden question. Last night my friends and i were in this crazy retro diner with a big, loud jukebox, and one of the songs that came on was a Dylan tune, i believe called "I Want You" (but as my Dylan knowledge is pretty sparse i could be way off-base). Anyway, there's a melody line running through that song that sounds just like "The State I Am In." I mean, i was singing the B&S tune against the Dylan and it fit perfectly. Was this a deliberate rip? (The cool thing about this is that one of the friends i was with is a huge Dylan fan, and she is already intrigued because she's heard "Like Dylan in the Movies," and now that i've mentioned another seeming B&S/Dylan connection, she really wants to hear them. Maybe if i don't get a mentor at least i can work on BEING one. ;) Jess ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Ooooh, this hit too close to home to pass up. I work for the government (temporarily, thank you!!), and for the first 8 months of my assignment I was on reception, taking calls from disgruntled workers, union members and evil lawyers from across the province. NEVER take government temp jobs. See, people have this notion that because their taxes pay your salary (which they only do in an indirect way since I'm from an agency), you owe them the world and they have to right to treat you like absolute crap in the process. Yeah, yeah, the government sucks, but be nice to the receptionists because chances are they are poor little temps who are never offered contracts or benefits or paid sick days because Mike Harris (evil Premier) prefers to burn them out and get a new temp which saves the province lots of money so he can have more posh lunch functions where they unveil the new laws cracking down on those good-for-nothing single mother welfare recipients who spend their cheques on beer, so he said. ANYHOW. Sometimes funny (albeit twisted) things do happen, though. There was the woman who called in the complain about her boss. She worked for a sex chat line that ran out of his house. Apparently she'd caught some, err, affliction off his couches, because all the girls lay on them naked during their shift. Their boss made them do that as he thought it put them in the right mood. I didn't know what to tell her! Health & Safety complaint perhaps? Or the guy who filed a complaint against his union for being fired. His statement was a volume, 2 inches thick! In it we discovered he'd been harrassing this woman at work, claiming she should have understood that only with her could he begin the sexual healing process he so desperately needed, due to a very traumatic childhood. Hello, stalker much??? *B&S Content*: sometimes I'd get so upset from the calls that I'd just have to walk away from the front desk. I'd take off for the 10th floor, which was empty, and sit on the floor & listen to them on my walkman until I calmed down. right, off to make brunch for my dad. love elisabeth xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Wandering back along Chiswick High Street after having my haircut on Thursday, I was listening to my new (but soon to be 'trusty') MiniDisc player. A few Boymerang tracks, a few Randy Crawford tracks, Hopkirk and Lee E.P. then, tada, two G500 tracks (Blue Thunder and Tell Me). And yep, I had to sate my urge to shift the volume level from 25/30 to full tilt ahoy. And I have a theory about it. Not a v. clever theory, I'll admit, but still. See, when I first listened to G500, I naturally listened at 'normal' volume levels. And fell in love with them. Having discovered that I could achieve a whole level new level of immersion by playing the tracks at parent distressing levels, however, I do find it difficult to go back to the old 'volume at half mast' scenario. And you mention 'that' album. Presumably you me 'On Fire'; Suzanne ? If not ...

When i was growing up, I was able to tolerate her just because I lived in that household. It's sort of like Stockholm syndrome. Last time my parents were in town, they were playing one of her CDs in the car and I was sitting in the back dying to jump out the whole time. Anyway, they were in my apartment and I had Belle and Sebastian in the CD player. My dad stopped and started to laugh saying something about how the singer sounded out of tune. Since my dad is well versed in singing in the atonal scale and can't even find the beat to a sousa march, I take his word for it. > Date: Sun, 21 Jun 1998 13:21:39 +0100 > From: "Gary Done" > Subject: Sinister: CIN makes me want to smoke crack. > > Hi Katrina, > > First off, £1.99 for CD singles is a very fair price, when you consider you > can more often than not pick up CD albums for £11.99 first week of release > featuring 12-14 tracks, four tracks for £4.99 was bad enough, £4.99 for 3 > tracks is going to be a complete rip off. 99p for 7" even though I hardly > ever buy them is great and probably the only good thing to come out of this > new ruling will be the inevitable resurgence in the 7" format when the > punters say "sod that extra track on the CD, I'll get the vinyl for a damn > sight cheaper price". Hell yeah, you cheapo Brits. :^) Do you know how much it costs us Americans to buy a single? $4. Or, to translate, somewhere around 3 quid. True, in general, to buy a full length album, we don't have to pay as much and all the major releases are on sale, but in general, when you buy a single from an american release, the b-sides are either remixes or other cuts off the album. So, not only do we pay more for singles, but after listening to that song and 3 remixes of it, you REALLY want to retire it after only 2 listens. It's all an evil ploy just to make us buy the album. The last time I was over there, I thought that if I had a CD player (over there, I only had a radio and walkman) then I would have gone crazy in the singles aisle. > WE WANT FOUR TRACKS ON OUR CD SINGLES.......

Belle and Sebastian rocked the house on Saturday to the sounds of "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands". We also heard forthcoming LP tracks like "Morning Has Broken" and "Seek Ye First The Kingdom Of God". I swear. A 45 minute B&S concert, the mother of all warm-up gigs, and I'm typing this now wondering, did it really happen, or is someone going to laugh at me for dreaming it all up after some hallucinogenic toast? I suspect that's why no-one else has mailed too - everyone's afraid it was a bizarre dream. All the band were there, apart from Stuart David who rumor has it was at his niece's birthday party, so it was a real rock n roll day. Chris duetted with Stuart on a hesitant but very sweet version of The Byrds "Turn Turn Turn" (note the Ecclesiastical link). Stuart mentioned afterwards that someone behind me looked sort of embarrassed clapping along the The Whole World - poor show. I actually saw someone writing down the "set list" (come on, own up if you're on the list :). My thanks also to the nice lady who took me to the church toilet before the concert began. You don't get THAT kind of service at your average indie dive. I actually wanted her to hold my hand and she nearly did but I lost my bottle at the last minute. honey xxx P.S. The new Looper single has "Spaceboy Dream #3" on the B side - Stuart David doing his talkie business over the B&S instrumental that was recorded in the set from which the new LP will be taken - I don't actually know if it will be on the new LP. I haven't heard it yet but I'll be digging out my poorly record deck tonight. Will let you all know if you're interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I don't think it matters whether there are 1,2,3 or 4 tracks on B&S singles/eps or whether they were £1.99 or £4.99..I don't think there are many people around here who wouldn't buy them whatever.

I haven't heard much by him before (one song) and was struck by how similar his voice is to Stuart Murdoch's. Apart from that, I didn't think they're music was that similar - ND's seems more wistful and abstract, while SM's is more down to earth, albeit quite poetic, and tends to be a bit more pop-like (does that make sense). Anyway, it was a good documentary and they played some really nice songs, especially River Man, which made me (as the person they interviewed afterwards suggested) stop what I was doing, as everything seemed somehow suspended in time. I'm very tempted to buy an album by him now...

The third London picnic took place yesterday afternoon (and evening... and night...). I think we had about 20 people there, in various states of hunger, drunkness and sunburn. Oh yes, and David had his bike with him. It was far too hot to get a game of football going (or anything else for that matter), so we spent most of the afternoon lazing about in some random park in Highbury, talking about music, football and which politicians various people wanted to sleep with (as you do). Dodgiest chat-up line of the day - "You're all mouth and no trousers. I wish." Own up and be ashamed, that man... Oh yes, and David had his new bike with him. About half of us then progressed to a pub next to the station, for conversations about music, football and the politics of Northern Ireland (as you do). In between the fast-food runs, suntan/burn comparing and arm-wrestling, one or two of us may have consumed a small amount of alcohol. One person who shall remain nameless proved suprisingly good at attacking people by 'palette tickling'... Oh yes, and David had by now gone home with his new yellow bike. On the train. At this point, things started getting a bit hazy. Suffice to say that at 4am, half a bottle of vodka later, I found myself on the swings in a children's playground somewhere in East London. Forget singalongs outside a pub in Camden; until you have lied on your back with 5 people you barely know, in a random park somewhere in London, singing B&S songs (and forgetting the words, naturally), at 5 in the morning, watching the sun come up, you have not truly ruled. Thanks again to D&K for organising everything, and to everyone I met for being so goddamn nice. And a big hello to the Irish contingent, hope to see you again sometime soon.

No no no no no. Vinyl is wonderful. It crackles pleasantly. It's not perfect, which is great - who'd want Superman as a friend? Anyway, the record player is the musical instrument that everyone knows how to play - at least that's what I read on one of my old sleeves. It's my Mum's birthday today and I bet no-one has sent her an email. But, maybe if someone told us it was their birthday, then we could send them a birthday greeting. If you don't tell us, how do we know? Anyway, mine is on July 18th, when I shall be turning 16. How thrilling. So that you all remember, I'll put it in my signature file. OK? What a dastardly plot. I bought some new corduroy flares at the weekend and they almost very nearly cover my feet. Chris Geddes had better watch out. I would have liked to have seen B&S in the church, except I wouldn't sing because I am a newly converted buddhist. Honest. We used to sing He's Got The Whole World In His Hands at primary school. yay. He's got you and me brother, in his hands He's got you and me sister, in his hands He's got you and me brother, in his hands He's got the whole world in his hands!

The longest day was ace too and it was great meeting JJ and the Blairs, whom I spent time with in Bar Miro (where we drank booze) and then the park watching Teenage Fanclub. The longest day reallly is totally great, a free concert, how top is that, it was beautiful too, the weather was lovely and everyone had a great time, I'm not even all that big a Teenage Fanclub fan, but I enjoyed it. We kept our eyes open for Dave, but we didn't see him, were you there Dave? Didn't see any of the other bands really so I can't comment on them. Also, I had an idea as to how the Luddites can deal with CD's. If you buy one 7" single (it doesn't have to be a good one) and slip it out of its sleeve and pop it on the record player *whilst* playing your cd player, after track one, jump up and turn the thing over, you can repeat until the CD is finished. Myself, the same as some others went and bought CD players cause they wanted their record collection to last the rest of their lives. I'd say that if anyone claims that records last a lifetime and don't deteriorate in quality massively then they're simply not playing them enough. It was actually Screamadelica that pushed most of the people I knew into buying a CD player cause it is I'd say almost perfect for CD and was one of the first albums as such, it's too much of a pain in the arse to turn the record over after every three tracks. Still, for all that there is another argument pro records, what I kind of miss is the defined difference between the first and second sides. I suppose for a glaringly obvious example David Bowie's Low, which is completely different on side one and side two, songs on side one and ambient stuff on side two (the record was originally going to be called New music for night and day) and this is kind of nice. Well that's my tuppence worth on the record debate. Cheers, Keith. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don't quite see what this has to do with Linda or arsebiscuits, but in reply to your query, could you be thinking of Talfryn Thomas? He was pretty ubiquitous on the BBC in the seventies, appearing in several episodes of Doctor Who (The Green Death and The Claws of Axos, I think), Survivors and lots of other BBC dramas. He was pretty memorable, because he was a very stereotyped Welshman and had teeth like wonky tombstones. Is this who you mean? He was a joy to watch - very funny indeed. And I saw him once in Dad's Army.

Message-ID: <2BF2EC83D73BD1119E5B0020480839BE7BBBE8@exchange1.lancs.ac.uk> Jon G (allow me to be the first with the birthday congrats, by the way) said to Adrian: No no no no no. Vinyl is wonderful. It crackles pleasantly. It's not perfect, which is great - who'd want Superman as a friend? Jon, what you've failed to realise is that, before adolescence, all of Adrian's friends were characters in comic books: he liked to look at the pictures, but didn't understand the words. While pubescing, he moved on to a new group of friends, all characters in television programmes. When it came to finding a sexual partner, however, Adie returned to printed matter. He likes CDs because they're easier to wipe clean. Still smarting from Adrian's Roland Browning remark, tim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

(longish) Message-ID: <2BF2EC83D73BD1119E5B0020480839BE7BBBE9@exchange1.lancs.ac.uk> If you don't want to read my views about the once-great P!O!P! group Hurrah!, then stop reading. But Adam asked about Hurrah!'s best stuff... Bit of a sad story, really. Sons of the (then) very depressed North-East of England, Hurrah signed to Kitchenware, home to such Geordie luminaries as The Kane Gang, The Daintees and Prefab Sprout (later, King Cathal Coughlan of course, but that's another issue). All of these bands had their moments, but Hurrah! were the ace in the pack, no doubt. The first four singles on Kitchenware, 'The Sun Shines Here'. 'Hip Hip', Who'd Have Thought' and 'Gloria' are all spankingly sparkling prime pop gems which no self respecting person of taste should find themselves without. (Almost all of these songs were collected on the mini LP 'Boxed'.) There were various trials and tribulations, they nearly signed to a major label a few times (as I remember). I believe that Hurrah!, like the Go Betweens, signed to UK Elektra (what an A&R dept *that* must have been), but UK Elektra went under and the bands found themselves dropped pretty much unceremoniously). Then...nothing, for what seemed like ages. Horrible tales of them having sold their guitars to pay for food. And a reappearance on Kitchenware through Arista Records (of all labels), all buffed up and mid Atlantic and classic rock iconography and bad leather jackets and (worst of all) coming over all proud of it, eschewing P!O!P! past and...oh god, I think their press even called the the Last Great Rock Band. It was horrible. That album, 'Tell God I'm Here', had lots of songs which had sounded brilliant live or in demo form, but which had been run through thr rocknroll mincer and come out sounding coompletely uninteresting. Not long after 'TGIH', Kevin Pearce, Hurrah!'s number one fan and most eloquent advocate, released a cassette-recorded (I think) LP of a live date they played when the still burned, 'Way Ahead' (Esurient Communications). Kevin swore he had permission from Kitchenware to release it. Kitchenware/Arista denied all knowledge. No doubt it got in the way of their carefully-constructed release schedule, their plot to take Hurrah! to the very to of the rock tree. Which really worked, didn't it? 'Tell God I'm Here' and the last LP, 'The Beautiful' (anything but...) are interesting for archival reasons, I reckon, textbook examples of how not to behave when signing to a major record label. I dunno, maybe they thought corporate rock was their only way of getting any sort of payday after years of being skint and making some of the best music anywhere. Whatever, they managed to alienate most of their old fans and failed to win many new ones. I sort of lose track here, there were singles and comebacks and this and that I guess, but it never really happened again. Too damn late. Creation's reissue arm, Rev-Ola, issued a CD, 'The Sound Of Philadelphia', which reflects how it was, when it *was*. Pretty much all the stuff from those first four singles, plus demos and radio sessions and stuff. If you're the sort of musical listener who wants their music vacuum-packed and CD-shiny, then perhaps this is the package for you. Otherwise, I'd recommend you start at the singles or an old copy of 'Boxed' (you can still find them for pennies if you search hard enough). The P!O!P! should shine through the crackles sure enough. and hey! If you don't like it then give it away or throw it out...you won't be burdened with the lifetime's commitment of having a CD. Sorry for boring you, if that bored you. But you can't say I didn't warn you. Apologies for any historical inaccuracies.

Is there any news as to when The Acid House comes out yet? The thought of hearing Belle and Sebby in Superdupa Nicam surround sound really turns me on! Incidently, I think the whole North/South thing's pretty much concluded. Anyone who watched BBC2 last night will now know that London is a violent hellhole plagued by gangs of strange, cultish mobile phone selling goths and beery working class men who stand on street corners all day and shout at cars.

Strange. I don't have any parents around to distress with it, and yet I still want to turn it up. It just sounds better. I can't explain it, but at normal levels it sounds puny. I now feel guilty for not pestering my parents more when I was growing up. >And you > mention 'that' album. Presumably you me 'On Fire'; Suzanne ? If not ... No no no..... THAT album. Just kidding. This is our music. I don't have the urge to buy any more of their albums. i know how everyone goes on about how great a band they are, and I like listening to that album every once in a while, its just not something I personally get into. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Oh man, I never even had hayfever until I went there, it was dry and very dusty and how I suffered for the first day. Luckily they sell hayfever remedies on site and I dosed myself up enough to cope. My advice is to take your medicine and go! It may not be the festival that it used to be, but I expect that the security guards will still help you over the perimiter fence for a tenner, and it is still the best festival in the UK.

It's essential! Everybody who was on the list a few weeks ago _is_ a father, due to Honey's multiple birth before he/she/it went off with post-natal depression and permitted a putsch by the Kid's Programmes Faction. BTW, what if 200 or so of those babies grew up to be porn stars? The first pet plus mother's maiden name would mean a lot of porn stars with similar or even the same names (- there would be a few Rovers out of 200?). And did they all forget Father's Day? Mine did, but my non-list one didn't. And why, in Scotland's hour of need, is the list signature in Spanish? What about Gaelic? In Irish Gaelic, it would be something like "Coin�n� �thasach at� muid ag can�int amhr�in na coin�n� - nach bhfuilimid?"

If is not being used for the new LP title , why not "Steamy bathrooms and sailors"? Or is it too late to stop "He's got the whole world.." being the title at that stage?

Personally, I took no pleasure in England's defeat. After all, I am half English. At no point did I think of the kids who lobbed bricks and spat at me when I was six for being a "haggis basher", or the people who've told me to "fuck off back to Glasgow" at work. No grudge bearer me. The fact that this morning I cheerily drank my coffee from the mug I bought in Transylvania was pure coincidence. And it pained me to see poor little Redscum boys David Beckham, Teddy Sheringham and Paul Scholes looking disconsolate. Still, plucky old England, eh? They did their best, wee souls, and that's the important thing eh? Like Keith, the list's very own Mr Reasonable, I like all British teams to do well. My Mother always told me sarcasm was the lowest form of wit. Hey, JJ, fancy a pint? Now, Wimbledon is upon us, a far more genteel experience. Nice to see our very own Tim Hopkins (that is you, isn't it Tiff?) flying the flab...sorry, flag. Sadly, my all-time tennis hero Mad Goran Ivanisevic has lost the plot entirely, and it just won't be same without him muttering Croatian obscenities to everyone - the opposition, the referee, the crowd, and most of all himself. I've only been to Wimbledon once and ended up sat behind half a dozen psychotic Steffi Graf fans cheering for the lovely German 2, Anke Huber. Shame about Greg Rusedski though, he's a nice man. He changed from a Canadian to a British citizen because he loved his girlfriend, the big ol' lug. Now there's a thought... Love Tagiescu xx PS To had my two cents, Kent Brockman style, to the vinyl v CD debate, everyone I've ever really loved has bought vinyl.

So, has anybody on this list with real >bad hayfever ever been to Glastonbury? and if so what was it like? Yes, I've been. Hayfever didn't cause me any trouble at all. Mind you, I hadn't developed it then, it's a new trick I've learnt. At the moment I'm pumping myself full of "maritime pine bark" to fend it off. Predictably, it's having little or no effect. Glastonbury itself was pretty pish. I saw some great bands, most of them for about ten minutes before wandering off in search of something a bit more entertaining. Doctor and the Medics and The Frank Chickens spring to mind, complete with special guest Billy Bragg pretending to be a tall building in an earthquake. I kid you not. I think it's probably improved since then. There's usually something like a Hawkwind all-dayer for those who can't afford Glastonbury tickets, and hawkwind cure all known ills, so you might like to consider that option, Huw.

Message-ID: <01BD9EB2.144E8760@pc07628> Sorry It is I again. This is a really long longshot. As longshots go, this is up there with the longest, but if any of you wonderful people can help I'd be very grateful. A long time ago in a galaxy far far away there was a mighty fine radio show Monday thru Thursday 10 to midnight on Radio One presented by the most offensive two men in the country. They were really quite pleasant, but they supported Manchester City. I'll get to the point. Mark n' Lard....they used to have regular readings from books. One such of these books was Nick Popes *Open Skies Closed Minds* which gave me great enjoyment. Having a conversation with my friends (not the comic book ones) the other day about Christ and disproving theories of his story, I remembered Mn'L once reviewed a book about this very subject with all *gubbins* about the Star of David being a flying saucer etc etc. There wouldn't be one of you literary people out there with an extremely good memory who knows what this book might be. I think it may have been written by a group of American University types surprise, surprise....so it may ring some bells with our trans-atlantic cousins even though they won't know the radio show. Help me please. Oh bugger, a digests just turned up...should take me through to half-three !!! Adrian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

You are merely using this to hide your obvious alcohol problem by going along the bar until you find a drink that does actually give you an asthma attack.

Too bad. More of this or "tee-hee" attempts to get round this will result in a hasty unsubscribe. Comments of the sort: "For goodness sake, it was only a joke you humourless git" will be ignored. I'm doing this to keep the list sane and I've seen too many other lists taken over by a vocal and boring few - this list's special and it stays this way. If you don't like the way it's run blame me, but do it in private. Everyone else: please let's not go on about this on the list, but mail me privately if you *really* have to. Sorry I had to bore you all with this. Keep football off the list please now, and be nice. And think about what you're posting to 500 other people who just *might not* want to know.

In-Reply-To: <01BD9E98.B90D0DE0@pc07628> Message-ID: SODS! i opened this email expected a fun filled discussion about the one and only LIONEL VINYL of the best radio station in the north west, RED ROSE GOLD, and what did you sods give me? some rubbishy clever clever oh so funny inneundos, now c'mn we can do better. now Lionel Vinyl is just class indeed, he plays a smooth tip top minx of all the greates songs from the 60's 70' AND indeed '80s OH YES and he is my hero. and he could kick any of your XFM ponces arses anyday, and could probably even beat up the formidable spectre of the Creeper. He is the best DJ about, M&L no longer count as i can NEVER listen so them weep sigh sob etc. was wondering what it would be like to be barry white today. it was most amusing for all of about ten minutes. anything male that crawled up the street (mostly acne encrusted Carr Hill-ers) was "something for the laaaydeeez" - and i'll tell ya what that bus driver who picked all the schoolies up was in da mood for a whole lutta luuurve action sugah. then i got on MY bus and met my friends and i kind of stopped being barry white. hey woulnd't it be cool if you had like a Pop Mr Ben and you could put on an outfit and go through the dressing room door to be whoever you wanted.....i would be...ooh well i'd have to be barry, i mean i eat enough pies for it.....and well, i'd have to be in abba as well just for sheer stupidity value.

Message-ID: hello all i just heard on xfm a song from a band known as v-twin. the dj was talking about the song, and he said that the line-up boasts katrina from the pastels on vocals, and 'beans' from belle and sebastian. now this confuses me - i'm sure that none of the members of our favourite beat combo is called beans, and beans sure aren't a musical instrument of any sort. so what is he wittering on about? or maybe my ears need cleaning out... does anyone know anything about this? the song was quite good - didn't hit me as being fantastic at first listen, but i love katrina's voice, so that made up for it. i think he said it was a cover of a northern soul classic song, though i hadn't heard it before. i'm confused about the belle and sebastian input though. nice picnic on sunday - we all got to see david's lovely bicycle and some rather impressive acrobatic types who were doing acrobatty things near to where our group was gathered. not as good a turn-out as before though... come out of your cupboards, people - you'll have a good time guaranteed. well i'm off now kwaherini, rob ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

This is just a quick goodbye-message, cos I'm unsubscribing (*sob*) as soon as I've sent this. I guess most of you are wondering who I am, since I haven't really been that much of a poster, I'm kind of shy about having hundreds of people reading everything, but maybe you'll see more of me this automn. Anyway, have a great summer everybody, I'm off to France on Tuesday, so you won't hear from me in a few months. Bye-bye! Anna :) P.S. I dreamt I saw the video for Seymour Stein the other night. (I also realised that only a hundred metres from the house I grew up in there's a road called Seymours vag =Seymour's road. I wonder if Seymour's ever been there?) Anyway the video was kind of like the one for A Century of Fakers, only there was a boy standing in the way of the camera, so half the screen was just his head and then you could see what was happening in the background. The boy was very pale and looked tired, he probably hadn't slept much lately. Actually,neither have I... I realised when I went home to my parents last week that I'm now allergic to my room, so I've been sleeping on a terribly uncomfortable sofa. It is really cruel to make a little girl allergic to her own room. Maybe there's a law against it. Maybe not. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

There's a book called Chariots of the Gods, which puts forward the theory that Earth was colonised by aliens. It's by an American, but I haven't read it, so I don't know whether it says anything about the Star of (Stuart) David.

Message-ID: <19980624162700.23012.qmail@hotmail.com> There are two things that are going to make this weekend in Glasgow the greatest ever (three if you count the fact that I'll be there)... Firstly the second ever Looper gig is at Java cafe. Various negotiations are in progress to set up a live real audio broadcast. We might even manage a video feed too. Keep watching the skies or at least check the treehouse site from time to time - www.treehouse.clara.net. Stuart D. says he's down with the teory but might not have the time to hook it all up. Stay tuned for Looper the movie though showing at a cafe near you some point in the future. It's going to be tops and seeing as there will only be 500 copies of the single in this country when it's released in July it might be your best chance to cop a listen for a while. Looper are officialy great. The second great thing is V-Twin. V-Twin are the purest distillation of rock'n'roll to grace the face of the earth for many a year. If anyone lives for musis it's the Twin. That's a part from their dedication to sex and drugs. They look the part, they sound the part and are so cool it's almost painful to watch. I haven't heard the single but I've seen them do the songs live. Generally the Twin rock out a lot more with frontman Jason McPhail getting so excited you can't help but love them. Their versions of All Kinds of Girls and Bullet Proof Susie are little legends in themselves. To cut a long story short, they are allegedly (I say allegedly as V-Twin stories are legion and unreliable) playing on the roof of John Smith's book shop (where mr. Pastel works) on byres road Glasgow. I'm taking bets on whether Jason will get over excited and fall off. All in all a damn good weekend to be in the dear green place. I'm not sure why I'm telling you all this - oh yeah, so you tune into Looper and make you jealous. take care, Gerard ;�} ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I did a bit of the famous road to Santiago, which some churl once called a "monument to credulity". It was great, a leafy path with ancient cobblestones, well, bigger than cobblestones, all worn smooth by centuries' worth of sandals worn by a multitude of believers. On acid. There's even a spring where weary pilgrims can refresh themselves and sit awhile and reflect on God's glory before continuing their descent towards the sea. Once I got there I decided to indulge in another popular list pastime, staring at the sea and thinking about sea-related music - in this case "Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside" played by God on a Huge Wurlitzer Organ Coming Up Out Of The Stage. So anyway, all this set me thinking: enough of these godless picnics, how about a list pilgrimage? We could all go to Malcolm out of McCarthy's house or something like that.

Message-ID: <61D51AF2F749D11196EA00805F387D4404879D@RMF1> Last night I had the most jammiest I've had in a long time... One of my house mates who works for Gut Records had drop a couple of Beastie Boys tickets off to his boss and her boyfriend outside the Brixton Academy. The thing was he didn't know where the Academy was and asked me to come with him in the car and give directions, so I did. When we got there his boss felt guilty about not getting him any tickets so she managed to us two tickets!!! It was like a dream come true it really was. I was so upset that I wasn't going, I almost bought a ticket for �40 off a tout. The gig was amazing, anyone else go? Then just when I thought things couldn't get any better I bought a pair of VIP passes for a fiver of some dodgy geezer in the audience so I got to go to the after show party aswell. Wowee. And now i'm 2 1/4 hours late for work. I haven't seen my boss yet this morning and I'm not looking forward to it either, I hope she doesn't go mental on me, after all I'm only young.

The first release is a limited 7" through SubPop and seeing as though i'm in an extraordinarily good mood this afternoon, here's all the details you need to get your mitts on a copy ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LOOPER 7" ... distributed by SubPop U.S.A. It's a self-titled 7", limited to 2,000. The tracks are A: Impossible Things and B: Spaceboy Dream #3, catalogue number SP446. It can be ordered through our website http://www.subpop.com (hopefully in the next week here we'll have a page for Looper) or they can call toll free 1.800.SUBPOP.1, which is our direct mail order line. Or write to: Sub Pop Mail Order 1932 1st Ave Suite #308 Seattle, WA 98101 U.S.A. the Looper 7" web page should be finished by the end of the week. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- so there you go! i dare say that rough trade will get a few copies in, but apart from that you're probably best off getting them from SubPop or on import from the states. oh, and there's the gig @ Java tmorrow night about 10pm-ish ... and i hate everyone who's going! jealous? me? never ... :) if you need any more info, please mail me mailto:a-and-r at jeepster.co.uk or jenny @ subpop on mailto:jennyh at subpop.com and there's the treehouse website where you can leave a message for stuart and karn at http://www.treehouse.clara.net cheers, Katrina. -- ************************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - mailto:a-and-r at jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, uk phone - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: <93CA1ADD24AED111B6CF00A0C90676300EEA9D@EDINBURGH> What with all these collaborations and spin-off bands, I though I'd start a belle and sebastian "rock-family tree" to keep track of them all. Here's a few that spring to mind, everyone's welcome to add to it. Perhaps someone will want to put it on there web site, once it's finished? Belle & Sebastian (1995?-Present) Stuart Murdoch ---------- previous bands 'Lisa Helps The Blind' and 'Le Pastie De La Bourgeousie' ' Isobel Campbell Stuart David ---------- also in Looper with wife Karn Richard Colburn Chris Geddes ----------- also in 'V-Twin' Sarah Martin (from 1996?) -------- other project, name unknown Mick Cook (from 1998?) ----------- also in 'The Karelia' and 'The Amphetameanies' Snow Patrol (formally Polar Bear) Stuart Murdoch features on 'Safety'. Richard & Chris feature on video of last single. Arab Strap Stuart Murchoch, Chris Geddes and Isobel Campbell feature on 'The Clearing', and other tracks I can't remember of the top of my head.

What a great idea, I like drinking, can I be in this band too? actually, maybe I won't be allowed in as I'm not a pop star, but I can drink! With the best of them, in fact, I'll take them all on at once! Does anyone want to join a Belle and Sebastian drinking club? We could have our own special drink (booze) and our own special badge (forget that, it sounds shit). Down the hatch, Keith. ps : the family tree sounds nice, although I thought Stuart David was doing one anyway - if he is, we could do another band, maybe Colour me Badd, or perhaps we could do a Family family tree. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Well, the only B&S news i have is that Stuart David returns with wife Karn as Looper. The first release is a limited 7" through SubPop and seeing as though i'm in an extraordinarily good mood this afternoon, here's all the details you need to get your mitts on a copy, kindly supplied by Jenny at SubPop ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LOOPER 7" ... distributed by SubPop U.S.A. Self-titled 7", limited to 2,000. Tracklisting - A: Impossible Things and B: Spaceboy Dream #3, catalogue number SP446. It can be ordered through our website http://www.subpop.com (hopefully in the next week there'll be a page for Looper) or you can call toll free 1.800.SUBPOP.1 which is the direct mail order line. Or write to: Sub Pop Mail Order 1932 1st Ave Suite #308 Seattle, WA 98101 U.S.A. the Looper 7" web page should be finished by the end of the week. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- so there you go! i dare say that rough trade in the UK will get a few copies in, but apart from that you're probably best off getting them from SubPop or on import from the states. (if you're outside the US of course!) oh, and then there's the gig @ Java tomorrow night (friday 26/6) about 10pm-ish ... and i hate everyone who's going! jealous? me? never ... :) if you need any more info, please mail me mailto:a-and-r at jeepster.co.uk or jenny @ subpop on mailto:jennyh at subpop.com and there's the treehouse website where you can leave a message for stuart and karn at http://www.treehouse.clara.net cheers, Katrina. ************************************************************************** jeepster recordings ltd. - a-and-r at jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, u.k. phone - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk This message was sent to 709 people. ************************************************************************ Message sent from the Jeepster news service To remove yourself from this list visit; http://www.jeepster.co.uk/ If you wish to join a B&S mailing list, then visit; http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Anything for you Keith! Family - Roger CHapman (vocals), Charlie Whitney(guitar), Rob Townsend(drums), Tony Ashton(keyboards) & Jim Cregan (bass) Formed Leicester 1966 - an amalgamation of two local bands. Above line up was the one when band broke up in 1973 Previously known as the Roaring Sixties & then Farinas Went to London in 1968 to record their Music In A Doll's House album followed it with Family Entertainment in 1969 people who I've never heard of left, other people joined & I haven't heard of them either. They made more records. They split up. The end! That was fun wasn't it? Now my request, I want you, dear listess to tell me about the first time you heard B&S, the circumstances, the song(s)? Was it love at first listen or did you think "it's like punk never happened!" That may have just been me though as I think that all the time: the bus is late "it's like punk never happened!" I think. Anyway, my idea is to somehow incorporate your replies into a B&S page I'm preparing for my taking shape on a browser near you fanzine, Red Roses For Me, which you really all should visit, if only for a cheap laugh & sign my guestbook :o) it lives at: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Cabaret/9043/ bye! steve "Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows" Sabine Strohem steve at seahorses.demon.co.uk Red Roses For Me Fanzine & Records For Sale http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Cabaret/9043/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Stuart M plays the piano, Sarah violin and Chris Hammond on Soaps, actually (is that why it's one of the most beautiful tracks???) Chris also plays Wurlitzer on Packs of Three. That's it, i think...

A prize for the best substitued letters. For what it's worth, the picnic was of usual supersonic standard, in my opinion, even if the evil ones (pointed glance at certain readers) trying to force Mad Dog 20/20 on us unsuspecting revellers did give it that Snow White's evil queen/tea with the Borgias quality that really we should be aiming for every picnic. Next time, I'll bring the paraquat! I'm looking forward to being back at Primrose Hill, though - the footie (am I allowed to include that word or will Honey's artificial intelligence bang me up in this rather worrying virtual dungeon with which we have been threatened?) was not of the quality expected in the packed corner of Islington where we revelled on Sunday, although Rory continues to surprise and amaze me with his talents (?) every time we play... To continue with this new and rather self-reverential thread about the alter egos of B&S ("oh yes, I saw Isobel playing the flugelhorn with Arsecrumpet sixth on the bill to Dogbowl in 1984") I would just like to add that I've heard, for what it's worth, that Stuart Murdoch was once in a band with famed long jumper Ashia Hansen (sister of Beck) and Noam Chomsky (or Normski as he became known in the biz) - they were called something like "Woodrow Wilson" and played 25-minute Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch tributes in Paul Daniels' garage. But I could be wrong. God, I really haven't been getting enough sleep. Happy dreaming, chipmunks! Biondino xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Haven't been through my digests in yonks, so I am in the clouds as to whether this has been discussed yet or not. Some people have mentioned this weekend, to which I am perfectly amenable, but to which we will have to decide a venue. Others have cited the Saturday before the World Cup Final. Whatever happens, we will only get a fraction of those Sinisterines who live here at any each, so come to both if at all possible. The sooner we meet up the better, as some people are leaving on their hols, others beginning their peregrinations to lands near and far. So, we need a show of hands as to who is free on Sunday, and maybe we can sort this out once and for all. The Cloisters was mentioned, but we have yet to find out if picnicking is legit there. Any ideas for food etc ? Rain or shine, I can be contacted any time through the weekend; see you all soon ! Christopher ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: <01bda0f5$71aae9e0$bf4f05c3@itjfvkli> Not many messages today, eh? I knew Dave's departure would be keenly felt. Let's hope he joins up again when he's in Boston. I've just been reading some great stuff about the South West music scene on the Tangents site, including a glowing report of the Duke's solo project, written by some bloke called Alistair Fitchett. Whoever this Fitchett fella is, you must have slipped him a fiver, Duke. Isn't Brett Ashley the bloke who had his knackers replaced by a load of shrapnel in the war? Anyway, it's certainly whetted my appetite, and I shall be on the lookout for a copy down my local record store this afternoon. Then I shall squirm in front of the f**tb*ll before settling down to my first ever interactive internet gig. Loop were quite good in my opinion. It's true that they did only know one chord and I think they probably buckled under the weight of its complexity in the end. One of them is now managing (or something) our old friends Tindersticks. The only album of theirs I own is Heaven's End, the first one. It features samples from 2001 - A Space Odyssey. Infinity and Beyond seems to be where they were aiming for with their music but they got stuck at (insert amusing name here) services on the M1. Can't think where I've seen that "joke" before - probably something to do with Hawkwind. B&S content. You'll be wondering what a friend of mine said when confronted with the much discussed handclaps on Lazy Line Painter Jane: "Fuckin' 'ell, the Glitter Band must be shittin' themselves!"

Boom Boom. Dave's departure is indeed a sad one, I for one, have a black armband on today. Dave - do you fancy going out for a pint? Give me a mail and we'll go out to the pub. I am sure however he will rejoin the mailing list when he joins Boston. Peter, yeah I was reading the Tangents site recently and have my fingers deeply crossed hoping to win the prize of the Dancing in the Street videos, however I spent ages on the question trying to work out if the Subway Sect did No Fun, however the result is I don't know - so my answer was the result of many minutes of amateur psychology on Mr.Fitchett, as to whether he was "trainspottery" enough to not count Iggy Pop as having sung it. However, paradoxically, if, by a one in a million chance I win - you can keep the episode entitled "No Fun", cause I've already got that one.

However, > paradoxically, if, by a one in a million chance I win - you can keep the > episode entitled "No Fun", cause I've already got that one. you weren't going to win anyway :-) but for your amusing attempt to psych the mind of the duke's evil alter ego you can have a copy of the first video if you like. i ain't splitting the box set for no-one ;-) send us your snail address keith and i'll sling it on the post to you. Episode one, which the duches and i wathced last night actually, is magic. Sam Phillips and Ike Turner are fucking mad in it, and hugely entertaining as a result. Ditto Little Richard who is just off his trolley. oh, and the answer to the question was/is, um, the subway sect i think. at least i don't think they ever did it... but you could have answered iggy pop and i would have saluted your pedantic qualities. Peter made some comments about the Brett Ashley recordings, and then made a fax pass by mixing up Brett Ashley with the narrator of the Hemingway classic 'the Sun Also Rises'. Brett Ashley was the chick who gets off with the bull fighter dude, as if you need reminding ;-) The book also has the best last line in a book EVER, "isn't it pretty to think so." Magic. Oh and yeah, i had to pay more than a fiver to that Fitchett bloke for that review, i can tell you... i wonder how much Belle & Sebastian had to pay to get all those glowing reviews? nice to know someone reads the stuff anyway :-) stay gold, the duke. ------------------------------- Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent at lineone.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

For anyone who hasn't read it, I feel I should point out that Mr Fitchett is actually quite reasonable about Duke's work, and doesn't make it out to be overly fantastic or anything. Just in case I had given the wrong impression. Personally, I am sure it is overly fantastic and would like to know how to do it. I've got a PC and two tape decks and I am musically illiterate too. > >nice to know someone reads the stuff anyway :-) > I always read it straight after Popgob.

The single version is much better with loads of extra stuff and remixes and that. And keyboards. I am 25 today and hungover. Luckily I had a little too much class to be drinking blue md20/20, or I would be far worse. And I got a present of the 25th anniversary version of Superfly. Yay!

Oooh, this takes me back!!! How about My Bloody Valentine (circa 'Loveless'), or possibly even some early Boo Radleys? (Ichabod & I, Every Heaven ep, Boo up! ep). Maybe even some early Lush? I saw Slowdive play live, and they were actually very good. The support bands were both pretty good as well! I also have a signed copy of 'Just for a day', I wonder if this is worth anything now? (probably not, I believe they did a lot of signings around this time). My green slowdive t-shirt has almost faded to white now, not that I ever wear it anymore... ah memories! On the LOOP (not LOOPER not LOOMER!) debate, I bought 'Arc-lite' single by Loop back in ooh 90 or 91, I recall someone say Loop were similar to Spacemen 3 (who I was very much into, still am in fact). I listened to it a bare handful of times & shelved it, can't really recall what it was like. On a whim, a few months ago I bought 'Heaven's End', it was only 6 quid 2nd hand in Action Records I think, I still haven't listened to it!!! Lots of other new stuff, y'see P!O!P children! regards, stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Someone said something about a strange English bloke in Nimbus at the Longest Day. Tis Ben, and he has a huge following of girlies because they go for the skeletal look and cheekbones that will cut lots of things. He's also a total lovie and probably had at least 3 illegal substances coursing through his veins. But Nimbus are great. Unfortunately the sound was pretty crap and the bass was far too loud, so they could not be truly appreciated. After reading 346 messages my brain is feeling a little dizzy, and though I know there are loads of things I want to say the neurons aren't firing properly The feeling of converting people to B & S is absolutely amazing. I returned home yesterday to find a new flatmate moving in, we had a bonding beer and music session last night, and I played B & S and he brought out a Nick Drake cd which was my first listen. Slowdive are THE best band to listen to while falling asleep, although Mark Eitzel's latest album and the first solo one are pretty good Vinyl is great for many reasons, but particularly because it is cheap, generally, and nobody borrows it cos they can't play it, and therefor your music collection remains intact and not scattered across the globe.

I don't know how much you all saw on the net (apparently it was captain blur of the starship very-blurry), and I stayed well out of shot (tricky bearing in mind it was a small room), but if the camera kept rolling at the end, you'll have seen me just after Mr Looper finished squeaking going up and talking to him. I've got to say it WAS really quite tremendous and I am not one for hyperbole at live performances - you normally find me whining about wanting the loo and having a headache. The live performance was really quite something, and he managed to make it - well poignant frankly, or wistful somehow. Maybe that was me being a big softy. Other things you might have missed on the Net: the little turny whirring things atop tellies were, according to Stuart, made from rotating lollipop holders covered in tin foil. And the last song about faking the moon landings had the always fabulous Joe 90 video in a loop. Appropriately. There's going to be a gig in Glasgow on Friday featuring some people close to home - Stevie Jackson's going to be doing some "old crooners" and some other local bands are going to be playing - Neil says he will send details to the list soon but if you want to help raise money to renew an old church fence (honest), keep Friday night free for now.

But instead, I'm just going to get a new job. This is too interesting. I saw a band once in Berkeley, CA called Heroine Kills, and they had a female drummer named Erica Mutton. But I don't know if the band ever released anything. I think they just got together for the one show and played a bunch of covers. Lenny Kravitz has a female drummer with a monster afro, but I don't know her name. Other than that I'm pretty stumped. I think the girl from Luscious Jackson used to play with the Beastie Boys, but that's boring. There are several songs about female drummers, my favorite being Sidewinder by Teenage Fanclub.

Hmm, well I agree that the house of love went to seed - I think it was the lack of media support plus things went sour with their record company - fontana? However, have you listened to the new Guy Chadwick album, Lazy Soft & Slow? It is really really good. I reckon if you like B&S, you'll probably like this album, it's very laid-back & ballad-y. A bare handful of songs sound like v. early HOL, but for the most it is a new direction, really charming stuff. I saw the House of Love several times, and went to see Guy Chadwick back in ooh, March I guess... it was a pity to see him reduced to playing to such a small crowd - small venue, nowhere near packed out AND I overheard one of the roadies saying it was a good turnout!!! > espadrille > > (lsitening to mark hollis, the jesus and mary chain's darklands and > spiritualized's ladies and gents etc. at the moment) It amazes me it's taken so long for people to 'get' spiritualized, personally speaking I think their other albums are equally great. regards, stephen (listening to tortoise's tnt and craig armstrong's the space between us at the moment) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

He also has the most gorgeous girlfriend in the world (after my lovely linda, of course). Thanks to funkyseb for the Michael Owen comparisons, but all I remember doing at the last footie game was falling on my arse a lot attempting frankly unlikely scissor kicks, I'm not sure 'The Future Of English Football tm' has got much to worry about.

Also one track is called Glasgow, and is very evocative of the docks in september at dusk with the rain pissing down as usual. I bought the new Mogwai 12 inch yesterday, and while I think is is lovely and enjoyed listening to it immensely, I cannot help but think that it is quite easy to create such sounds? I also bought the new Sonic Youth single, Sunday, which I absolutely adore, and crank up the volume of X-fm whenever it comes on. And a bargain 99p for the lovely 7 inch disk of black plastic. I never bougth singles when they charged and extortionate amount for them, but now i am addicted. Vicky xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Message-ID: <6027b7b.3598f904@aol.com> Well, to make a long story short, my boyfriend was telling me about this guy who gave a report on drumming in one of his speech classes, and at the end came to the conclusion that drumming was basically a "male thing" because few females were very good at it. To prove his point he said, "See if anybody here can come up with a famous female drummer that's not in an all girl band." My boyfriend shot his hand up and said "Moe Tucker from the Velvet Underground." to which he replied, "I mean from bands people have heard of." Grrr... Having this conversation just created this NEED for us to come up with as many as we could. Just in case we need to whip out a list in the future. :D Also I'm a female and I play the drums.....

Just Neil here again to say that if anyone in the Glasgow area is at a loose end on Friday night, then they might fancy taking a gig I can recommend. The line-up is Astrid, Camera Obscura and our own Luscious "Stevie" Jackson, and it takes place in Hyndland Church Hall, which is at 24 Novar Drive. If you don't know how to get there, err, get a taxi. No, It's off Hyndland Rd on the left-hand side as you go uphill. Hyndland Rd, or Highburgh Rd as it is for the first bit, comes off Byres Rd at the crossroads with University Avenue. So you could get the tube to Hillhead and take the ten minute walk up Highburgh/ Hyndland Rd, or get a 44A bus, which drops you just at the top of Novar Drive, about 50 yds from the Church Hall. Additional sounds will be provided by DJ Wee Beans Geddes, and I'll be there at the door to fleece you for �2.50. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
