Sinister: Belle and Sebastian

[Stanley,L]

Hey, I know we're supposed to wait awhile before coming "online" but I want
to comment on the great news that we've been nominated at the Brits: OK so I
think the prize will probably be awarded to someone more mainstream (I can't
remember who's been nominated, I don't have a list with me at the moment)
but it's brilliant because having heard "Tigermilk" just before Christmas -
thanks heaps, James E. - the judges must have impeccable taste. It's not
exactly too bourgeois, look at it as a triumph for the unbourgeois. And if
you want more of the same stuff, check out "Rising for the Moon" by Fairport
Convention - especially track 8, "Dawn" - because Sandy Denny was definitely
the Belle of her day. (Having heard "Lazy Line Painter Jane", I know what
I'm talking about. OK so there may be no songs sung by a female voice, and I
can't remember whether LLPJ is or not, but even so I think her voice has the
same mysterious qualities as whoever does sing on B&S records.)

Also a question (unrelated to B&S but I figured someone might know...):

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on either Steve Bell's "The Big
If.." (published in 1995) or some "Fritz the Cat" stuff by Robert Crumb?
They're both cartoonists/comic book artists and this would really make my
day.
