From lulou at xxx.org Thu Dec 1 12:47:24 2005 From: lulou at xxx.org (Linda Kerr) Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2005 12:47:24 +0000 (GMT) Subject: Sinister: Another Sunny Day Message-ID: Does everyone know that this is available - am I always the last to know..? http://www.donewaiting.com/archives/2005/11/new_belle_and_s_1.php I heard the Funny Frog toon on Mark Radcliffe...is it just me or does Stuart now always sound like he is singing in the room next door from everyone else? Such a wee wee voice. It reminds me of the Black Sabbath stories of the album recordings after Ozzy and Bill Ward left, when Ronnie Dio and Vinny Appice were turning down the guitars, and Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi were turning down the drums and vocals and the sound engineer turned ot the bottle, and that is a good story..

Artists: make the album available for download on iTunes, etc. when you finish it! Get it off to the presses ASAP, and in the stores shortly thereafter. PR interviews, gigs, and tours are great, but I fear everyone's hard work is being undercut by these kinds of actions. I'd hate to see a hard working band such as B&S lose any sales due to these sorts of things.

I personally like the anticipation. I think there always has been a "policy of politeness" on sinister in not being too blatant about having pre-release copies or downloads. I hadn't realised that Another Sunny Day wasn't official. Commenting on radio programme plays - that's cricket, ain't it? Although, as I found out, the world is blurring at the edges, with all this new-fangled technology. A download chart? iPod mini-metros? I remember when the only kicks we got was the static off the inside sleeve of a new Tops of the Pops LP.. Yours in anticipation..

Pornographer! I'm all of a tingle now! Anticipation... I remember anticipation. Actually I have been anticipating getting the "new" 80s WHO DVD for some time, but I am told it is rubbish. I don't know whether I should allow such tittle-tattle to put me off. I have seen an advertisment in the traditional music press for the Belle and Sebastian Civic Pride tour and I was wondering who the people in the photograph are. The geezer looks like Sam Mendes and the ladies look like the usual B&S street urchins after a wash and brush up. I say Sam Mendes because I am following a new policy of saying the first thing that comes into my head if I can't find the right words. I did of course mean Ken Livingston AKA Red Ken. And waht about this Another Late Night CD? Eh? Eh? EH? The download only concert recording got an excellent review in The Observer on Sunday. I will have to check it out, big time. Last night I watched the telly and it was Cherie Blair meets Norma Major and Norma Major was much nicer. I bet she is as excited as I am to see who is going to be the new Tory leader. I live in Maidenhead and we are all true blue not like you smellies.

That's really quite a stupid thing to not know how to do. I have only just found out I should check the band's website and I did and it told me exactly where to go, but now seetickets.com are telling me that the Hammersmith gig is sold out. Who are all these mentalists going to Hammersmith? It's like miles away! Can't people go to, like, Cambridge instead? Argh. Now I'll have to go to, like, Birmingham, or something, or take my chances of there being cute girls who have bought extra tickets to give away in exchange for sex. The latter strategy had worked well in the past, and through a good system of teasing and keeping them sweet and keeping an eye on my drinks at all times I never even have had to put out, so I might give it another go. I went on a little jet-tour of my own last week. The Red Bull Dozers played a short instrumental set, which included the hit song "A woman needs a fish", at the Tom Lee Music Shop in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong to a crowd of 3, before purchasing a Zoom G2.1u multi-fx pedal which is awesome. Now I'm back in the UK and jet-lagged and talking rubbish. Anyway yes the dude in that picture at the B+S website is so clearly Red Ken Livingston. xKen ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

The "Another Sunny Day" download is completely legit. It's from Matador. So download without fear of pangs of outdated 20th Century distribution model guilt. Speaking of which, does anyone know why Matador is releasing The Life Pursuit in America, and not Rough Trade? Does Rough Trade not have a distribution network in America any longer? I have already listened to the album, but I won't say anything more about it. This IYFS at the Barbican thing hasn't appeared in the U.S. iTunes Store yet. What's up with that? I could write other stuff about me, like how I'm starting library school next month, and I'm going to have Burger King for lunch, but... eh. I'll leave this post as is.

You know, now it's the 21st century and we're all riding around on personal hovercrafts eating our food from plastic tubes IN SPACE, I suspect we may want to reassess the previous consensual view of Not Talking About New Albums that some felt very strongly about a few years back. Some really did, and were insistent we shouldn't until release day so it became mailing list ethics not to. How do people feel about this now? Looking at the file sharing networks for purely research reasons, I suspect our grannies will all have mp3s of it within a week or so and can't imagine people not wanting to blurt out about how it sounds like Chicory Tip (oops) before February, which feels like a world away. I was thinking that maybe we could establish a spoiler subject heading rule or something, so that those who cherished release day could preserve their virginity. As before, I'd be happy to follow the majority view: I just think it may have changed. What would Jesus do? Let me know. Just no links to illegal hosting of mp3s etc. please, as this puts the list in jeopardy. The music industry is likely to implode within the next few years anyway, and the idea of release day may disappear for all but those parts of it that can understand what a computer is and what sharing your music freely does for sales in the long run. Jane Siberry, who's been releasing her music on her own label for aeons, because she's not Britney, has recently announced a Self-Determined Pricing Policy: https://www.sheeba.ca/store/payhow.php in which you can pay anything or nothing to download her music. I just downloaded something today, was about to pick the "Pay Later If I Like It" option, but then decided it was dishonest as I may not, so chose the "Free Gift From Jane" option, expressing the view at checkout that it's better to underestimate yourself and then be surprised if you're a better person than you thought later. And you know what? She mailed me back directly, saying she was pleased and hoped I came back "to download for free a lot" hoping I'd share the music on. I must say, it makes me want to listen to Jane Siberry a lot again, like I used to. In other news, the archive's really broken, and as I got too ill again to progress from the Sinister Bump Stage 2 to Stage 3 (i.e. actually moving it), it's currently in limbo. I'll either fix or move it soon as I can, powered by popcorn. Jim Muir's music is nice, and he wrote a super polite and cheery mail to me first asking before posting if he could, so you should all go and give him a listen. Plus he's a doctor so is a useful friend to have in the impending breakdown of society when the flu epidemic strikes. I've re-read Peter Miller's mail 3 times and can't find any cheap seaside innuendo or references to heavy metal. What's up Peter? Ken: "A Woman Needs A Fish": mp3 please.

So therefore if anyone wants to discuss The Life Pursuit, please follow the following code: 1) put "(contains TLP spoiler)" in the subject; and 2) put a good bit of whitespace then a warning before you spoil the party for those who want to wait for release day. Please be careful to do this, as lots of people like release day. So for instance if you wish to mention just how much... WARNING: "THE LIFE PURSUIT" SPOILER BELOW! ...

The geezer looks like Sam Mendes and the ladies look like the usual B&S street urchins after a wash and brush up. I say Sam Mendes because I am following a new policy of saying the first thing that comes into my head if I can't find the right words. I did of course mean Ken Livingston AKA Red Ken." In Another Place someone who might be close to the band's management said (& I hope he doesn't mind me repeting it here): "The ladies are, from left to right, Ms Katrina House (of course), Ms Natasha Noramly (of Glasgow group Fuck Off Machete, playing with Architecture in Helsinki in Glasgow tonight) and Ms Marisa Privitera (you just didn't recognise her with her clothes on - Sorry, Marisa). The gentleman is none other than Dave Anderson, who apart from being a Scottish theatre great, is Gregory's Dad in Gregory's Girl." The answer to his other question is available in the band's site's Q&A section, I think, but this is really hard to do on my webmail so I can't be arsed to find it right now.

I've spent the last fifteen years half a world away, where the sun shines brightly at Christmas and a white Christmas is a preposterous idea. So it was that I had missed the joyful session from Peel Acres three years ago and in fact had no idea that such a thing had ever been - until this week. I have been fortunate enough to acquire a copy of it, and it's made me feel quite festive. Though the year has been a very difficult one, it's good to be here, and to share a Christmas in the northern hemisphere, where the nights are cold, dark and long and the lights are bright and cheering.

Not that it is the official term but that's what I and everybody I know, and their pets, seem to be doing. Even the pigeons on the roadside are fatter than usual (and they are usually already quite fat). I'm doing well, I think, hanging on just on the side of the express booze and food train as it speeds past December over its vomit laden tracks. Two more working days and work is finished for a couple of weeks, when the real indulgence starts. All the preparations of going to the gym in the past few months didn't go wasted, all the extra metabolism and muscles, soaking up every sip of alcohol - you can feel it every morning through the little aches as they cancel each other out. However, as much as I'd like to indulge it seems there are barriers stopping me from doing so. See, as well as wining and dining, I would also like to spend lots of cash on seeing Belle and Sebastian live, in places such as: London, Glasgow, and Cambridge. However, it seems loads of people have already beaten me to this rampant lavishness and those gigs have now been sold out. So I ask, you lovely people - do you have a spare ticket to the B+S gigs in either London, Glasgow (on the Sunday p'haps), or Cambridge? Do you? Do YULE? You know yule do.

The grapes and pears are delicious and so cooling, but the blancmange got a little sour, I suppose by the knocking about, but the rest came all safe. Don't forget please to send me the National Review, is it not issued today? The flannel shirts you sent in the hamper are both Willie's, mine are one quite scarlet and the other lilac, but it is too early to wear them yet, the weather is so hot. We went down to the horrid regatta on Thursday last. It was very jolly. There was a yacht race. You never told me anything about the publisher in Glasgow. What does he say and have you written to Aunt Warren on the green note paper? We played the officers of the 27th Regiment now stationed in Enniskillen, a few days ago and beat them hollow by about seventy runs. You may imagine my delight this morning when I got Papa's letter saying he had sent a hamper. [illustration: 'Ye delight of ye two boys at ye hamper and ye sorrow of ye hamperless boy'.] Now dear Mamma, I must bid you goodbye as the post goes very soon. Many thanks for letting me paint.

What most interests me this time in Wilde's Complete Letters: his gradual assumption of command at the Lady's World, henceforth Woman's World. A gender politics in the change of name and in his insistences about content - yet what a strange class politics endures in his repeated lists of contributors! 'The Princess Christian, Lady Portsmouth, Miss Thackeray, Mrs Francis Jeune, Lady Meath, Lady Wentworth, Mrs Fawcett, Mrs Craik, and others have promised to write...'! The tender gothics who gather still outside the ghost of their favourite record shop, as if drawn to its absence - or rather, as though coming to realize it was always an excuse for them to gather here. 'Santa in red', writes Robert Lowell in 'Christmas Eve Under Hooker's Statue', 'Is crowned with wizened berries'. Poignancy of the department store - whose structure makes me wonder if it is a direct evolution from the simple idea of a market with different stalls - classy, yet uncrowded while lesser shops teem. Taking Sides: 'One More Time' vs 'A Thousand Hours'. How bog standard to see Ross and Gervais, I mean, Greavsie, trying to make something unfunny funny, and falling into the gutter. Yet the next night Coogan and Brydon rise above the trashy interlocutor and the dull smut, and as they compete with each other's impressions a warm, clever comedy flies marvellously free. They no doubt rightly say that the iPod can make music newly unpredictable. But so on occasion can our old chum the old tape. I stick on my 1990 round-up and wait. Radio highlights of England vs Germany... the crowd noise drifting into that announcing Dylan, singing 'Forever Young' in Hammersmith... and that of the Glastonbury folk as the Cure launch 'Just Like Heaven'. 'I Won', less than a year old; Adam Ant's final February hit 'Room at the Top'; 'The King of Wishful Thinking'. 'A New England' reminds me how late I discovered so much; perhaps my sense of my own experience pop history has been planed down to agree more than once it did with pop history itself. 'Outside, the fire-red, gas-blue, ghost-green signs shone smokily through the tranquil rain. It was late afternoon and the streets were in movement; the bistros gleamed. At the corner of the Boulevard des Capucines he took a taxi. The Place de la Concorde moved by in pink majesty.... Charlie directed his taxi to the Avenue de l'Opera, which was out of his way. But he wanted to see the blue hour spread over the magnificent facade, and imagine that the cab horns, playing endlessly the first few bars of Le Plus que Lent, were the trumpets of the Second Empire'.
