Sinister: hanging from the balcony upon the riverboat glass

[Kevan Cooke]

hello folks,

a couple of people have said they'd rather have seen the release of
new b&s material rather than the repackaging of records that were
originally released in 1997.  the reasons behind the absence of any
new b&s material seems to be explained in an article on the nme.com
website, i've included it here as i don't think anyone else has sent
it to the list yet.

bye,
kevan

>Further investigation reveals that development has already begun at

>The Snow Patrol miniature railway will tour the site, dropping off

>French Alps, which is to be called the Belle and Sebastian Zone.
>There is some confusion over whether this has any connection to the

>An anonymous source from within the construction team working on the
>site reveals that the project has not been without it's problems:
>"The Belle and Sebastian Zone in particular has been hit by a series
>of inexplicable and embarrassing delays, and the rollercoaster ride
>just seems to be going on and on forever."

>Dagenham council have confirmed that planning permission was granted
>some months ago and describe the venture as "very exciting", whilst

>A Beepster employee told us confidentially that amusement parks are
>what the kids want, and it is expected that Beepster A&R man Mark
