Sinister: B&S doc rocks shock!

[Essexdog5 at xxx.com]

Broadcast from Planet Privileged! Forgive me, I'm a journaist (etc).

I've just seen a preview tape of  the BBC Choice B&S documentary and, 
surprisingly, it's really rather wonderful. Interviews with Richard, Stuart 
D, Mick, Mark Radcliffe, Joe Egg (200 Troubled Teenagers oganiser - there's 
brief  footage of that night as well, using much the same shots as Select 
chose), and Sinistrine Caleb. The latter proposes that B&S straddle the 
art/pop divide - which must be very wearing on one's polyester gusset. 

The 'story' of B&S (which transposes the Seymour Stein visit to the States, 
for some reason) is told via a Bunty-esque comic named Sissy (arf!), read on 
a bus (yay!) by a (not very B&S) girl. Oh, and there's also a very telling 
moment where one member of B&S says something along the lines of "It's not 
all flowers in back pockets"..... (it may have been Mick). There are also two 
vids I hadn't seen before - one almost definitely featuring AwfulVoiceWoman 
from Sleater Kinney, and the other starring Isobel in a coffee shop. Oh, and 
there's some rehearsal room stuff too. 

Fortunately, this 30 min thangdango is actually superior to the South Bank 
Show doc on The Smiths. It's kinda pure!

And if anyone knows (or indeed HAS) the B&S demo which includes the line 
"You're Kellogs and I'm Nabisco" (which appears in said film), I'd love to 
hear it! Ditto Tigermilk instrumental.

I'm listening to the finished CD copy of Tigermilk as I type this. I only 
mention that because I'm so fucking EXCITED!!!!!

B&S fans - we rool da skool. Yes. Ahem. Goodnight.

Pip pip!
Stephen.
