I'm almost certain that Liz Fraser's tattoo says "Johnny Rotten", not Siouxsie.
Of course, as you said, she never wears sleeveless clothing (at least not
when I'VE seen her), so who knows. Anyone know for sure?

To which reply:
A friend of mine says he met her and she showed off her tatoos, albeit
sheepishly, for a small gathering. There are 3 tatoos, I think.
Definitely more than one. He said one says something like "I Love Johnny
Rotten" or simply "Johnny Rotten," she flashed it and was real embarassed
about it.

I was wondering if anyone had a complete list of the dates for this
"tour" (apologies if this has already been posted). Specifically I would
be interested in a Toronto date, if there is one.
Cheers,

I aplogize for this VERY no-thislisty post, but I cannot help myself.
Last night I saw the GREATEST thing I have ever seen on TV... especially
MTV.
It's the new WEEZER video. It is so good.
For those of you who haven't seen the video, and pass them off as shite,
they somehow manage to put the band on a HAPPY DAYS set, and make them
interact w/ the cast... including Fonzi and Richie! It is SO damn cool.
Even if you HATE the music, you should still go to great lenghts to see this
video.
Please forgive me for my temporary fit of irrational behavior... I need my
medication.
Lots of sincere love and hugs and even some smooches,
-jOHN who saw Weezer open for Lush and they
were good... but not as good as their latest
video... which is probably a stupid BUZZ CLIP
by now.

Picked up two new cds yesterday....
In Camera's 13 (Lucky for Some) and The Legendary Wolfgang Press....
I am no listening to In Camera and I think it's really neat...kinda like
an odd cross between early Cocteau Twins, PIL, and The Birthday
Party.....very neat...very early 4AD. I love this old stuff! Haven't
listened to the Wolfgang Press yet, but from what I've heard of Wolfgang
Press and what I've seen about people's reactions to them on this list
(not to mention what I OWN by them)....I still have no idea what to
expect. I'm kind of expecting an album along the lines of Cut The Tree,
but will probably like anything....:)

Hey all you pop music fans!
I am just put up a sneak preview of the WWW version of my e-zine
DREAMPOP. I think most of you will find something here to like. Not
all the review pages are up yet, but you can get a taste of what
I have to offer by setting the URL of your favorite web browser to:
Let me know what you think.
--Brendon
p.s. A few of the inline images are in the JPEG format. I would suggest
getting your hands on the new web browser NETSCAPE, which supports
inline viewing of JPEG images. Still, you can use Lynx just to read the text
if ya want. Mosaic will not display inline images. Cheers!

Subject: corruption, illegality,
and musical taste -- payola and buying/selling promos
I just felt like writing in about a few of the things that have been buzzing
around the list for the past couple of weeks. Not so much because I'm
particularly interested, but because I felt like writing.
Anyway, about buying and selling promos. My impression was that most people
didn't have much of a problem with it because it only hurts the record
company. Wrong! It does hurt the record company but it also hurts the
bands. Why? Well, for one thing, the bands get no royalties from promo
copies. So if you only buy the promo copy, the band gets nothing. The
label looses too (though I think many of us have less sympathy here).
Personlly, I collect the promos _and_ the regular releases, so my conscience
is clear on this point (as well as stupid!). But by buying promos, we
prevent them from being played on the radio and in shops, which almost
always means that fewer people hear the proper releases and thus don't buy
them. Here, of course, I'm not so innocent.
How is this connected to payola? Well, when you think about it, all these
promos are sold by someone, aren't they? Well, who makes that money? The
radio stations and record shops! Of course, labels all know that their
promos are sold, so this can be seen as something of a bribe.
Someone argued that the dominance of shitty bands on the radio is evidence
of payola as well. Personally, I'm not so sure about this. Of course, the
thousands, if not millions of dollars the "owners" of people like Mariah
Carry and Phil Collins pay out helps keep them in the public mind (or is
that ear?). But, to paraphrase P.T. Barnum, "No one every went broke
underestimating the taste of the American public." There are, as
distasteful as it seems, people who really like Phil Collins and think him a
great artist. God, what a depressing thought.
Well, I've spoken my peace. Feel free to ignore it or respond.

Subject: Vox/Fadia El-Hage
I love this song by a group called Vox (described in liner notes as being
"Anglo/German/Lebanese"), with a singer named Fadia El-Hage, which is
featured on the world music compilation _Trance Planet, Volume One_. I
think this group would appeal to a lot of fans of 4AD (of course, Dead
Can Dance immediately came to mind), so I was wondering if anyone out there knew
of
this group, had recommendations for recordings, or even knew how these
people were classified (world? alternative? classical?). Any comments
would be welcome.

i'm a little bit late injoining this discussion but i have little to
box. unfortunately, i found this out the hard way. one evening, i
headed into manhattan to see skinnerbox at wetlands. i was rather
surprised when a ska band took the stage. they were a pretty good band
but, alas, they weren't who i had wanted to see. sigh.
