The Peel Session title of the Cocteau song "Ivo" is
really "Peep Bo" which is also what she's saying. I've
seen it in print. Also in that Peel Session was another song
from Treasure ("Beatrix"?) which then had a title that John Peel
pronounced sounding like "Weesht".

I've interviewed Lisa and she is loathe to say what she sings
is any language at all. "It's the language where the tongue is
the drum." If you've seen the Toward The Within video, you
know what I'm talking about.

I've deleted the message, but Jeff Gayton mentioned something
about what Ivo will be doing since Warner is being "overun" by lawyers
and all the "good guys" are leaving. In a Melody Maker article
(January, 20 1990) where they interviewed Ivo on the 10th anniversary
of 4AD he said the following, "It was always essential and I still
believe it's true that it's best to be distributed independantly and
not through a major-people understood what we were doing. Have you
ever met someone from a major label? They have not the remotest
understanding of what you're doing."
Related to labels: 14 years ago Ivo and partner Peter Kent started
4ad as a talent scout label for Beggars Banquet. Now I understood
that after a while they broke away completely from Beggars Banquet.
On 'Towards the Within' from DCD however Beggars Banquet appeared
amongst the copyright credits. I may be blind, but i can't remember
seeing this on any other 4AD releases (post-Axis that is). Perhaps I
should go home and have a closer look at my records! How big a share
does Beggars Banquet have in 4AD then?

PS. In the same article Ivo mentions having met Robin Guthrie who had
come down to London to see the Birthday Party. The demo tape he left
Ivo with was really raw and reminded him of Siouxsie and the Banshees.
He never the less fell in love with it.

Well it looks like he's changed his mind a bit, eh? Not only did he sign
with a major, he moved within pissing distance of all of them! Which
personally doesn't bother me in principle except that the flagship band
itself was already having romantic dinners with Capitol Dinners. Anyway,
I didn't read the article but from what context I can read from it, it's
not really relevant here since it's just a judgement about what works,
what's a pain in the ass, etc. In the case of Warner, there is a whole
big label deal and 4AD *is* the US label. The only thing governing what
they do is the prior overall agreement. Hence all the terribly useless,
wasteful, and narcissistic (though lovely) promotional items you'd never
see from a major. (Well, except maybe for someone like REM...anyone see
the inside of that deluxe Monster? Wot's it like?)

I just got AVAM. I paid R96,00 which works out to about $28.00. Oh well
thats what happens when you live in a country where the word economy is
merely a fantasy dream for optomists. The cd is excellent and was a great
way to hear some 4AD artist that I had not heard before.
I have a question, about the HNIA track (*k-j* ?)
This was the first time I have heard HNIA and so, i would like to know :-
a) Is this what all there music sounds like, is it along the same vein?
b) The track listing says 'His Name Is Alive with DARA' who or what is DARA
and why is he/she/it with HNIA ???
ALso, just out of curiosity, anyone know why the show was called 'All
Virgo's are Mad'
Thanks
Gnome
I also got TMC F&S which is beatuiful. I really love track to about the

(changed the subject line to something referring to the content
of the message, hope others will follow this example ;)
I am pretty sure Lisa Gerrard sings in no existing language
most of the time. (I am working on this everlasting project
of creating the Dead Can Dance lyrics book so I listened a lot
and I can at least recognize the west-european languages).
Besides this personal experience there are many interviews
to be found in which she explains why she sings the way she
does (try e.g. the toward the within video): she wants to
touch upon the spirit of the music, and she can only try to
find the sounds that to her express the experience of actually
succeeding in her quest. Language is just to poor.
Hmm, I see I have to quit here, before I get lost...

In my early "punk/fanzine/vandalise a butcher" days we used to have a
name for all this.....we called it "SELLING OUT".
Ivo once said in an interview that the ideal time for 4AD to come to
a halt would be in 1990 simply because the label was born in 1980
and a ten year stint just sounded appropriate...it's a real pity the
bastard never put words into action.
Time to retreat into my cocoon....goodnit chilin!!!!

you darker psyche absent and see how difficult it is...BASTARD!!!!

The stale lump of boil oozings (who is a friend in case anyone
misinteperates my intentions) put a long finger up his nose, changed a
gear and came up with the following:
>In my early "punk/fanzine/vandalise a butcher" days we used to have a
>name for all this.....we called it "SELLING OUT".
I remember reading a story at the beginning of the year where a bunch
of punks beat the $#%@ out of Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys, Lard) and
put him in hospital for "selling out". Can you imagine if we applied
the same philosophy(?!) to 4AD bands. Right now i'm thinking of that
picture of Jack H (Cocteau's WWW home page) standing next to Liz
Frazer- imagine if he turned around, headbutted her and sayed,
"That's for selling out bitch!". Then there's Ronny Moorings of
Xymox-smash his synthesizer repeatedly over his head, and then tell
him to go and buy a new one because that one was making crap music.
Neil -who just about had the $#%! beaten out him by punks in a
Punk/Goth club when he was 15 (1985) for having pointy
shoes etc. aaaaaaaaah-the good 'ol days ;)

Okay, now I am really lost. Maybey I am just a thick South African, but
this record lable thread has really confused me. Who owns who, what how and
why. What is the difference between 4AD, Warner, Beggars Ban., Rough Trade
etc. Also what is a publisher. Look at my AVAM CD each band seems to have a
differnt publisher, that has a name somehow relevent to their band.
rhp - god forbid publishing
l germano - emotional wench music
breeders - period music
k smith - warner chappell music
hnia with dara - preforate my heart music
also I have noticed that belly is slow dog music.
I am lost, would somebody please explain the ins and outs of how the music
goes from the mouths of the artists to the poly-carb fibre's of our
speakers.
Thanks

For any of you that are current or former Echo & the Bunnymen fans, I
_highly_ recommend you check out Electrafixion (Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant'
new project). They have a four track import CDS for the song "Zephyr."
I find the songs pleasantly reminiscent of vintage Echo, rather than
the watered-down approach McCulloch has taken with his solo albums.
I'm hoping for more from these guys.

The bands or songwriters in each band have their own publishing company.
Lots of labels (particularly majors) force the artists to be in their
publishing company, but I guess 4AD doesn't have one or allows the artists
to keep their own (which means the artists get all the publishing royalties
and don't have to share them with the label).

Ha! So I was right, it _is_ "Peep Bo" (I'll pretend like I didn't spell it
with a hyphen before, even though I think I did, so I can look even more
right), not "Pink Bow." Who'd name a cat "Pink Bow" anyway?
