Sinister: jeepster news - b&s related 28/05

[katrina house]

hi again,

let's get straight into it shall we? ...


belle & sebastian
-----------------

as you may have heard, a half-hour documentary on the band has been put
together by duglas from the bmx bandits, which will be broadcast in the
u.k. this sunday night on the bbc's digital channel 'uk play' at
approximately 8.00pm.  i don't know anyone who has actually got digital
tv yet, so god knows who is actually going to see it!  as far as i know,
the bbc air aiming to broadcast it on a terrestrial channel sometime
later on in the year, so stay tuned ...

the b&s bowlie set was recorded by radio one and will be broadcast
almost in it's entirety on monday july 5th, just in time for the
'tigermilk' re-release!  it will go out on steve lamacq's show sometime
between 8.00pm and midnight, my guess is around 10/11-ish.  i've been
told that around 40-45 minutes of their set will go out ... sorry to
brag, but can i just tell you that it sounds absolutely wonderful ... :)

there will also be a b&s special on mtv uk very soon, featuring all 6 of
the belle & sebastian videos as well as the gentle waves and looper vids
and maybe even the first viewing of the forthcoming v-twin clip for
'thank you'!  when it is confirmed, i'll mail the scheduled broadcast
date.

as far as i know, there will be efforts made for all of these events to
be made available to persons outside the u.k., so don't despair!  they
should end up your way soon ...

'tigermilk' now has a confirmed release date on cd in japan on july
7th.  as usual, this will be through virgin/toshiba emi, so go and place
your orders at your record shop now :)

the gentle waves
----------------

i'm still getting lots of enquiries from people as to how you can get
hold of tgw album in the u.s.a. - it is being put out by never records
through proper distribution, so tell your local retailer to go search.


can't think of anything else ... this weeks recommended listening is the
lovely remastered version of 'tigermilk' on cd (sorry!) and the new
flaming lips album - which i should actually go out and buy rather than
persuade the boys in the office to bring their copies in - oh, and the
new pavement album ... *sigh*  and (i could go on forever) the new
clinic single ... especially for the ace b-sides :)

'til next time ...

cheers,
katrina.
