>HMV....WHO!!!, not even the computer came up with anything on them.
That's annoying because HMV have an advert in NME with their singles of the
week. And who is one of the three bands featured on this? Our favourite 7
piece Glasgow band, that�s who!
I remember foolishly going into HMV last year and asking if they had a copy
of Tigermilk. They looked at me with a very blank face. Then they entered
'Bellin Sebastian' into the computer. Luckily got a copy in Fopp that same
day.
It seams a lot of people have a problem with the name of the band. My
brother calls them 'Bell-end and Sabastyoid' just to piss me off.

Yeah, and who the hell is 'DAVE - THE NEW BAND'. It seems to be written
everywhere in Edinburgh.

Hello ,
this is my first letter to the sinister list . i thought i was the
only person in Ireland on it until i read Claire Timmins message .
I too wandered the record shops of Dublin searching for the B&S
single but alas i endured many the bemused look and my search came up
empty handed . Tower records and Freebird records were the only
places to have heard of them !
I hear people talking about HMV in England with shelves stocked full
of the new single . Oh well , i guess i'll have to resort to
mailorder .
Ronan Burke.

As Andy pointed out I'm tripping over myself. Good idea Andy, I'll
make this policy :)

I think this was a festival stunt - I don't think it's an actual band. It would be more accurate if it had said
DAVE - KEITH'S EX-FLATMATE
But then - I'm not in the habit of tagging things.
On the subject of the EP's I Personally rate the Belle and Sebastian stuff in this order:
1. Tigermilk
2. The EP's
3. If you're feeling sinister
I just don't think IYFS holds together as much as a record as Tigermilk does - I mean, they're brilliant songs, but invariably I only listen to some of it... whereas Tigermilk I always listen to the whole thing.
Cheers,
Keith.

The Oxford/Cambridge Yah Hooray Henry types don't exist. Well not in
Cambridge anyway (except possibly Peterhouse College, but they don't
count). Edinburgh Uni seems to be like Durham Uni; it's where all the
Hooray Henrys go who think they have the right to go to Cambridge or
Oxford because they've got lots of money, even though they've not got 2
brain cells to rub together, and then they find out that we don't take
wankers like them here. Personally, I'm on a full student grant, which
makes me just as down to earth as people anywhere else; all this "they go
to Cambridge, they must be snobs" stuff is complete balls.
Phew, that was a bit vitriolic, I don't know what came over me.
[Keith Watson]
Hey - relax - I didn't suggest that everyone who wen't there was like that - I did actually miss out the word "rejects" from the sentence which was actually what I meant to say. It is indeed like Durham Uni, Edinburgh - or at least so I'm told by my friend who went to Durham. How to describe these people... Dunno.... Home Counties, Inbred, Loud in public, very irritating? Difficult.
Quite a number of my friends went to Oxford/Cambridge too. In any case, given the inbreeding I'd find it difficult to believe these people would make it as far as Oxbridge.
Sorry - didn't mean to offend
Keith.

B and S New York Tour Diary in this weeks Melody Maker.
Well Richard what happens is this - forward motion of the aerofoil ( wing )
results in a reduction of pressure above the wing and a smaller increase of
pressure below it, this is called lift and it makes the plane fly !
PS - Boo to the Business World ! has been updated including the new EP cover
so you know what to look for when you are feverishly scanning the shelves of
your local record emporium.

In answer to all the questions about Seymour Styne, this is from the 'Ink
Poloroids' book.....
"Seymour Styne had flown in from San Francisco to take us out for dinner -
and after he had told us all kinds of stories about The Smiths and Madonna
- and told Chris he reminded him of Johnny Marr. "
This should probably be added to the FAQ as the topic keeps coming up.
My fav on the new ep has to be 'Put the book back on the shelf'. I love
every single song B&S have released, but would anybody else agree that the
tracks on the ep's are not quite as good as those on both the albums?
> I know this is straying off-list somewhat, but just out of interest, is
anyone going to
> see Luna and The Pastels in Edinburgh on Friday.
I was thinking about going to this. There's also a Stone Roses tribute
band playing Edinburgh this weekend. Anybody going to that?

well, morning off and a trip to watford. got to virgin
watford and there on the shelves were copies of 3, 6, 9
seconds of light. two copies when i wanted three. but when i
asked they said they had some more (two) filed under b&s in
the singles racks. hooray.
and then he shut my change in the till and had to ring for
the manager to come and open it (the tills won't open
without a purchase being rung through - some kind of
security measure to stop the staff nicking stuff(?)). only
he didn't know how to ring for the boss and had to ask the
other girl working there. 'first day?' i ask him. 'second as
it happens - i worked monday and then had tuesday off and
i've forgotten everything...'. took about 5 minutes for this
manager to appear but i had nothing else to do so...
oh, i meant to ask how many copies they'd ordered but felt
that might make me look too suspicious, like a chart rigger
or something.
oh, and the north london railways have now changed their
name to silverlink. i think e.p.n.s link would be more
appropriate because silver implies quality. they've painted
some of the trains in a new livery too - bright purple and
green instead of the usual grey / blue / yellow things, much
nicer. they're still the same on the inside though.
windscale / sellafield anyone?
um, there's been a photo of that graffiti that people have
mentioned on the front of the fan club web site for weeks
now. photo by laura. hair by maurice.
oh, matt n, 341 summer street still?
and that bloke in hos pajamas? was it johnny fingers from
the boomtown rats by any chance? 8)
andy
um, arse, arse, arse not really appropriate seeing as i got
what i wanted but i thought i'd tie this post in with the
last 2.
