hipster cafe trade fair poem

hipster cafe trade fair poem, originally uploaded by unpop.

This is the folded poem that Stuart Murdoch sent me after I had written my 'review' of 'If You're Feeling Sinister'. The poem was 'The Hipster Cafe Trade Fair'. Not sure if it's been 'published' anywhere. Stuart's diary from April 2003 suggests he was thinking of using it as the title for the B&S DVD. But obviously they decided against it.

Compliments slip that came with Little Ink Polaroids. I don't have a scan of the book cover, sadly, as i gave the book to a friend sometime earlier this year.

We’ve been busy recording new material for our new album, tentatively titled ‘Shape of Things to Come’ which we hope to complete early in the New Year. We’ve been uploading new songs onto the myspace page over the past few months. There are two new one’s for November - 'Victoria Hall' and ‘Shape of Things to Come’. Catch them while you can….

I don't think that the backing card and the badge are quite the original pair. I seem to remember that the original badge (which was the same design) was a smaller one. Can't seem to find that though...

I am sure this has been posted on the interweb a million times by now. Well this was scanned from an A4 photocopy that I made from the A3 'original' that I got as part of the press pack that was fronted by yesterday's post. This copy was pinned on my classroom wall for ages!

An early Belle & Sebastian press release. I think this came as the cover note to a bunch of photocopied press cuttings which I also have somewhere.
