Sinister: Jeepster News ...now coming from Auckland, New Zealand, motto: "Where the action is"

[Lawrence Mikkelsen]

OK, firstly, appologies if you've already read this. Secondly, appoligies if
anyone has pipped me at the post and sent this to the list earlier today. I
get the digest, so I'm perpetually a few hours behind the rest of
sinist*r-land.

OK, from the NME.com (ie. possible *completely wrong and/or innacurate)

***BELLE AND SEBASTIAN NEWSFLASH***
(formally bought to you by Jeepster News, which now seems to no longer
exist. Remember how exciting getting those e-mails used to be? ... c'mon
Jeepster ... don't let some fat kind in New Zealand do your job for you
.....)

here goes ....
*******************************
BELLE AND SEBASTIAN have been working in the recording studio with the
producer of PETULA CLARK's '60s smash hit 'DOWNTOWN', NME.COM can
exclusively reveal.
The Glasgow-based group - who scored a Number 15 hit with their last single,
'Legal Man' - recorded two new songs this week in the city's CaVa studios
with Mike Hurst, who produced the Grammy-winning classic Clark single, which
in 1964 topped the US charts and went to Number Two in Britain.

A spokesperson for the band told NME.COM: "They recorded two new songs,
which don't have names yet. We approached Mike Hurst, and he was up for it.
Everyone's a fan of 'Downtown'." Hurst, who lives in London, was a member of
Dusty Springfield's backing band The Springfields and also produced records
by Manfred Mann.

Describing the new songs as "pop songs," the spokesperson said that the
intention had been to record a single, but the band were still undecided
what to do with them. They have another new track which was recorded last
year while they were doing their XFM charity Christmas compliation album
track, 'O Come, O Come Emmanuel'.".
*******************************

Cool, although I would really like a new album this year, *something* sure
won't go amiss.

In other Jeepster news, Ian Maculloch of Echo & The Bunnymen fame, has been
signed to Jeepster and will release a solo album at the end of the year.
This has nothing to do with the scheduled Bunnymen album also due later this
year on Cooking Vinyl.

That's it for me, and for Jeepster.

Lawrence.

PS - Laura Llew, I love you for reigniting my dormant love of The Pixies.
