SALAKO RECORD NEWS
http://www.jeepster.co.uk/salako/
musicality has hit the streets in the united kingdom and throughout europe. it's
an expedition into the world of high-fidelity (no, not the novel) and is a true
masterpiece. if you don't yet have it you can purchase it from us directly. it has
just been released in the US through never records/proper distribution, so you
should be able to order it in the US from most good stores.
as a special treat for fans attending gigs, salako have created an EP that will be
given away to the first 50 people through the door. it's entitled the 'mappleton
sands' EP and is a six tracker at that! it even features THE best titled song that
we've ever heard of: "the three crows of life vs the wood pigeon of death". the
exact running order for the EP is;
1- san francisco baby rides
2- (have you heard) musicality
3- the answailians
4- the three crows of life vs the wood pigeon of death
5- you know it's true
6- the overhead projector theory
we'll have artwork available reasonably soon, mp3 samples are already available on
the salako site (http://www.jeepster.co.uk/salako/). the release date
for this is provisionally set at 25th october in the UK, but this is a mere
courtesy since it won't be available in the shops, we'll put a few for sale on the
website for fans outside of the UK after the gigs, but the vast majority will only
be available at forthcoming gigs.
copies of their recent 'bird in the bag' limited 7" are still available to
purchase through the jeepster shop, it includes the 'associate listener membership
cards' which entitles the holder to various privileges. one of the privileges we
are aware of is that, if you stop the band on the streets of hull and produce the
card, they'll buy you a cup of tea!

SNOW PATROL MEDIA NEWS
snow patrol were nominated for two awards at this years hot press awards. the
annual awards celebrate irish music, and the paper (which is often compared to
that the nme, but for ireland) has been instrumental in having the band nominated
after a huge demand from readers.
they lost out on 'best single', but left the night gleefully clutching their 'best
newcomer' award, that and the memories from offending one of the corrs!
a web broadcast of the awards is available from the hot press website
(http://www.hot-press.com/), you can also find out more information on the awards
and the hot press paper on that site.
in other news, following the CMJ festival in New York, www.spin.com (the website
for the hugely successful US magazine) has an exclusive interview and live song
available. the files can be viewed in Real Video and Windows Media formats (yes,
they're videos!) and can be found here:
http://www.spin.com/signal/webcasts/1999/09/29/1/index.html
and finally, snow patrol will be joining the charlatans in performing backstage at
the prestigious MTV europe music awards on november 11th. we're afraid that you
can't get in to see it, but hopefully they'll come out with some rock 'n' roll
stories to share!

LOOPER RECORD NEWS
http://www.jeepster.co.uk/looper/
looper, brain-child of stuart david, are back, as a four piece and with a new
double a-side single 'who's afraid of Y2K'/'up a tree again' released on the 18th
october 1999 and backed with a very special remix.
the full track listing is:
1- who's afraid of Y2K
2- up a tree again (stuart david re-edit)
3- up a tree again (pulp remix, also known as 'the chocolate layer st
johns ambulance mix')
stuart david on 'who's afraid of Y2K':
"it came about from reading a lot of articles about the millennium bug - about
things like the guys they had hired to fix the problems at the government
buildings in america, working on it for a couple of days, till they realised how
unfixable it was, and then all quitting the job and buying themselves land in the
hills to build survival shelters to live in. and things like finding out that even
richard madely from this morning and keith richards have their own survival
cupboards at home. then i thought of how it was such a simple and avoidable
problem, but how much damage it could do now. and i thought maybe it would cause a
kind of natural revolution."

http://www.jeepster.co.uk/thegentlewaves/
isobel is currently in the studio with various members of belle and sebastian and
is recording her follow up to the successful 'green field of foreverland'. we hope
to have this released spring/summer next year, but we'll keep you up to date with
the progress.
-------------------
BELLE AND SEBASTIAN
http://www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian/
are still in and out of the studio working on the new album, they're also
currently considering locations for a possible tour in the future to co-incide
with the release of the album next year. other bits in the pipeline include the
development of the lyrics/tablature book which should include illustrations by
alisdair gray (if you haven't yet read his novel 'lanark' and are wondering who he
is you should rush out and get it now; from either:
amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0156003619/jeepsterrecord0a
amazon.co.uk: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0330319655/jeepsterrecords

END OF MESSAGE
well, that's us done for once again. we'll mail again the next time we have
something of substance to say :) as usual all corrections and comments (there are
always some!) should be forwarded to myself at the address below.
as a footnote, you may have noticed that the official jeepster belle and sebastian
has moved from www.belleandsebastian.co.uk to
http://www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian/ . but it's still the same site, and
to underline it's the fact that it's the record label site, we've gone and made it
look like the posters with the little black border on the top and everything :) .
the band also have their own site at www.myspace.co.uk/belleandsebastian which is
themed to resemble the glasgow public transport system. so there you have it, now
you know where our site has moved to and what the difference is :)
cheers
david
