Sinister: belle and sebastian on the te-elly (and important UK plugging)

[Stephen Hewitt]

apols if someone has already mentioned this, but there i was happily
drifting off to sleep whilst mrs carsmile watched seinfeld (splingedy
bingedy boing).  As the programme finished, and the cry of "oh god, a
new fat-tongue-boy series" (actually it was a bit ruder than that, but
i'm feeling polite today).  I thought "this music sounds familiar" in my
drowsy state, but it was only as the advert finished and i started
singing the beginning of dirty dream #2 to myself that i realised that
JAMIE OLIVER HAS B&S ON HIS ADVERT FOR HIS NEW SHOW!!!!  the funky bit
at the end of a spaceboy dream to be precise (ie possibly one of the
least b&s-sounding bits).  Still better than arseloader, eh?

moving on to my blatent plugging, which i am only doing as it is for
CHARIDEE and a GOOD THING IN GENERAL.

BENEFIT CLUB NIGHT ANNOUNCED FOR VICTIMS OF TERRORIST ATTACKS ON USA
 
LondonIndieUSA
12th October 2001, 8 PM - 1 AM
The Betsey Trotwood, 56 Farringdon Road, London EC1
Nearest Tube: Farringdon
Entry £5
 Following the horrifying events of the 11th September, London's indie
community has come together to organize LondonIndieUSA, a benefit night
in aid of the victims of the terrorist attacks on America. All proceeds
from this club night will go to the International Red Cross.
London's indie scene has enjoyed strong long-term links with America,
with bands crossing the Atlantic in both directions, and fans finding
common ground online. Every indie fan in London has friends who have
been seriously affected by the recent attacks. This benefit is an
attempt to reach out and offer support.
LondonIndieUSA will take place on the 12th October at the Betsey
Trotwood pub over two floors. More than a dozen DJs, representing
several of London's regular indie nights, will be taking part. They'll
be playing everything from full-on pop to experimental eclectica, with
the emphasis on dancing and fun. Records, memorabilia and booze will be
raffled for charity during the evening. Oh, and the Betsey Trotwood is
fully licensed until 1 AM!
This is a unique event, a chance for London's indie scene to show how
much the friendship and community Americans have shown us means. The
fact that it's going to be the best indie night out this year is, as
they say, a bonus. 
 Doors open at 8PM and entry is £5.

>From what i can see there are at least 7 listees on the decks (including
me ;)), and several more involved in organisation etc.  If anyone wants
to know anything else (and yes, we know there might be a tube strike
next friday) or wants to help out, drop me a line :)

hopefully see some (lots?) of you there

xoxo
