(snip).

Wow, I'm excited.  Another person who likes (I'd even settle for 'heard
of') Breathless!!!  Any Lowlife fans out there?  :-) Sorry, I've been
lurking for some time and am finally getting around to posting something
here.  Apologies if I'm blatantly neophytic. BTW, I hope this is timely,
I've been out of touch for a week and some.

I'm a huge fan of Breathless, and though they're probably not thislisty I
suppose we can make a concession or two for Dominic Appleton.  After all,
he did do those TMC albums....and Will Heggie from Lowlife is an ex-Cocteau
Twin (at least, by association).

But I digress.  I suppose you probably know about Breathless' recent stuff
(Between Happiness and Heartache--incidentally, a really good album-- and
some compilation thing put out recently,  called Heartburst, I think).  I
don't know offhand what else they have added to the platter recently but
I'd be interested to know, if anyone has any info. As far as other older
stuff, I don't know how far you've gone back.  Chasing Promises (1988?) was
one of my big favorites and shouldn't be too hard to get if you have a good
shop or supplier nearby.  If you can find it (good luck, I think it's one
of those early/limited production/highly coveted things), The Glass Bead
Game is really good as well, but some of the better (IMO) songs from this
are on the new compilation.  Three Times and Waving is available only on
vinyl as far as I know, but I've seen new (unowned) copies of it within the
last year or so. If you're interested I'll send you the address for Tenor
Vossa records (sacreligious, I'm sure, to say such a thing in this group).

By the way, Hearts of Space is one of my favorites, I've been listening for
years--except for when I've lived in areas that don't receive stations
carrying it! :-) If anyone has any other news about it (incl. a newsgroup,
address or other good stuff) could you please mail it to me (so as not to
waste any more space here....)?

Hey, while I'm on a wibble here, I noticed today that NPR was using a DCD
tune between features (don't know the exact title, but it's "Fortune
presents gifts not according to the book...etc)  Oh, and last year, I woul
have sworn that I heard the bell tower here playing one of the DCD
instrumentals (you'll have to forgive me, but I don't know which one, only
that it sounds like an Irish jig.) I stopped dead in my tracks in the
middle of the quad and listened (kind of like the RCA/Victor dog, only
better).

Sorry for wasting so much bandwidth. I was enjoying my first posting immensely.

Cheers,

Mollie

Apologies Jan, I in no way endorsed violence-from some of the stuff
i've been through i'm dead set against it.  I also did not mean to
defame Liz and Ronny, that part of the post was just meant to be a
humouress criticism of violence.  Also, I agree with Richard Singer's
later post.
    Concerning what music people listen to.  I have to admit that it
pisses me off a bit when i see people buying total crap and the music
I listen to.  However i'm probably being very selfish trying to be
one of a few elitist and not wanting others to-be-into-what-i'm-into.
My music tastes are very varied and i think i'll be quite pissed
off if i had to buy for example a Fields of the Nephilim CD and a
classical CD and some nose-in-the-air tells me to put back the
classical CD until i educate myself.  I work part time as a waiter to
supplement my studies and one of the things i was taught was never to
frown or put my nose in the air when someone orders something funny.
If they want to drink cognac and cola, it's what works for them and
makes them feel good.  I think the same should apply to music. There
are also exceptions to this; show-off's.  All i usually do is curse
under my breath.  Another example i always think to is Paul
McCartney's (Beatles) response to Rap music.  He admitted to not
liking it (like most of us), but said that people should not try and
stamp it out as it works for a lot of people and its makes many happy.
I read in the local Sunday papers that one of our local rap groups are
doing pretty well in the UK at the moment.  Now these guys used to go
to the township schools and public places and carried over anti-
violence, -drug, -gang etc messages and are really popular. Now where
would these blokes be if they had to go out and buy expensive musical
equipment and teach themselves how to make "proper music". (i don't
think the latter three sentences were relevant to the thread, but it
was something i had to add-silly boy).
As the saying goes: beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

  Anyway, enough boredom from my fingers,

It might just be that the first one was the first I heard, but I'd
definitely say that Vol. 1 made a much bigger impression than Vol. 2.

Anyways, if you buy Vol. 2 you won't get "Polegnala et Todara", which

Subject: cocteau lyrics & eden/soma/dcd connection &LSD


Regarding Tony Jacobsen's question about whether the cocteaus make up
nonesense lyrics for their Japanese releases.  I don't think that lyrics are
required by law in Japan as you asked, but i do know that the Japanese really
have this thing about having lyrics.  In the case of the Cocteaus, they tried
to appease their Japanese label by giving them additional artwork and such in
lieu of giving lyrics which pretty much either don't exist or Liz would
rather not have printed.  But, the Japanese insisted on lyrics.  So, to make
a long story short, some poor Japanese folks at the record label in Japan
listened to the songs and wrote down what they guessed Liz was singing.  One
classic line I remeber Liz laughing in horror about in an interview in
Alternative Press was "yeah baby, I'm a mud dancer".  So, now there's
thousands of people in Japan that really think she sings about being a mud
dancer!!!  Ludicrous!

Regarding the Eden, Soma, DCD connection.  Well all 3 are from Australia but
share no common members.  Sean and Pieter of Eden are friends with Lisa
Gerrard of DCD.  Pieter is now no longer in Eden and has a techno-y tribal
band called Soma (on Extreme records out of Australia).  Pieter, also, was
the percussionist for Lisa Gerrard at these recent AVAM shows in Los Angeles.
 Sean is still in Eden, and their new album should be out early next year on
Projekt.  So that's it; that's the connection.

I got the new lisa germano, too - it's probably one of the scariest cds I

$15 - but it's got a price sticker and a cell. sq. upc sticker on it - I

I've got a few ride promos - anyone want to buy?  A promo picture disc

And hey, he's my older brother! (By the way, my family relations have
expanded quite a bit recently--I'm also Rachel "that dog" Haden's brother,
and Mikehell's son [he's the promoter who runs Kontrol Faktory, an
industrial club in LA], and the wife of a member of Hate Dept.; I'll bet
you didn't know Warren's family was that big). I apologize for the
completely irrelevant and fascetious comment that will only be mildly
amusing to those who were at the relevant AVAM show or read through my post
about it the following day, by the way, but I had to say it.

Anyway, I already asked k-j if Warren was the god figure at 4ad, and she
said no, it's v23 (Vaughn Oliver makes up most of a god figure, apparenty,
and fits into a complete one in conjunction with the other v23 people).

If we can combine people to make a god figure, I'd like to combine Rachel,
Petra and Tanya Haden into one intensely cute and charming six-armed woman
who can play three string instruments at once and sing at least a two-part
harmony at the same time. I'm not sure that such a creature would qualify
for godhead, but it would definitely be interesting to see.

I didn't know Warren went to that many different schools. Wow! It's hard
enough just to keep up with all the English people, but to it RISD and UCLA
and all the other schools that American 4AD artists went to as well... he
must have been quite busy with those transfer applications.

It's true that Japanese record companies require a lyrics booklet to
accompany all releases.  This usually means that a bunch of people
sit around their offices with head phones on transcribing really BAD
lyrics in really BAD English, with no thought whatsoever as to what
the artist might actually be singing.

I read an interview with Liz where she mentioned that she read the Japan-
ese booklet that came with Blue Bell Knoll and laughed hysterically.
The first line of "Blue Bell Knoll" was transcribed as "Ooh baby I'm a
mud dancer..."  Whatever.  I guess it doesn't matter if they don't
speak English.  They have no idea what they're singing anyway....

Hi,

Here's some news on the Throwing Muses 'University' album, which will be
released january 16th 1995.
It's hot, boiling as before. Throwing Muses is now: Kristin Hersh (voice,
guitar), David Narcizo (drums) and Bernard Georges (bass, I guess).

>From the pressinfo:

"'University' is just a word that appears on the album. I think it's best
not to make these things too significant,' says Kristin, 'The other
reasoning behind it is that we could get some tee-shirts printed which say,
'THROWING MUSES UNIVERSITY', so everyone can come from our gigs feeling
they've graduated...'


BRIGHT YELLOW GUN / START / HAZING / SHIMMER / CALM DOWN, COME DOWN /
CRABTOWN / NO WAY IN HELL / SURF COWBOY / THAT'S ALL YOU WANTED / TELLER /
UNIVERSITY / SNAKEFACE / FLOOD / FEVERFEW.

The new Wolfgang Press album 'Funky Little Demons', planned release date
september 26th 1994, but now delayed until januari 23th 1995, is the best
since 'Standing Up Straight', which I think was the formerly best TWP-album.
It's funky. It swings like Tom Jones, who's working now with
Cox/Allen/Gray's music (ref: Show Me (Some Devotion).
Because writing music was the goal now, while before compiling rhythms and
themes resulted in their 'Funk Noir'. Lyrics and music are more coherent
than before, this grows; but most of all: it swings!

The album covers 12 tracks:

GOING SOUTH / 11 YEARS / BLOOD SATISFACTION / CHAINS / CHRISTIANITY / DEREK
THE CONFESSOR / SOLONG DEAD / EXECUTIONER / SHE'S SO SOFT / NEWGLASS /
FELLEN NOT BROKEN / PEOPLE SAY.

Not always true.  The Lyric book for SLOWDIVE's "Blue Day" is very accurate.
Maybe the band submitted a lyric sheet?  I can't imagine ever getting the
words to "Shine" on my own.

The PALE SAINTS "mrs dolphin" cd comes with a story... or so my Japanese pal
Aki says so.  I asked her to read the Writing, and she just said it was some
story about losing yrself, and floating...
She never finished it... she was drunk and irritable, and I was annoyed
because she was summarizing and not giving me specifics.  Blah-Humbug.
The world may never Know.  Maybe aLFRED dOUGLAS could translate it for me?
Or maybe talk Aki into trying it again... you'd think she'd know her own
damn language.

Did anyone see the older interview Dave Kendall did with Miki Berenyi (LUSH)
and Mark Gardner (RIDE)?  It was really funny, because Dave kept
unintentionally insulting Miki, and Mark just kept staring at her, looking
so strung out.  There was also another one Dave did w/ Miki and Emma, where
he would ask them a question, and before every answer, they would say

I have to agree about the lyrics booklet w/"Blue Day". I assume the band
submitted the lyrics for that.  The words to "Shine" are pretty good.

I have "Mrs. Dolphin", too, and I REALLY wish I could read Japanese. If
ANYONE out there reads Japanese, could you please translate it and post
it for me?  Not as if that would be any trouble or anything.....

        Maybe it's just me, but all of the Cocteau I have listened to has
at least a few discernable phrases in it.  If you are really ready to
throw your mind into overdrive, try 'influencing' your mind and then
listen.  I have deciphered many a stubborn lyric this way.  With
Cocteau,  I guarantee you will hear a few things you have never heard
before, barring the tonal no-words that Liz loves to use.  Forgive me for
being so Pro-Drug..... No,  Don't.... :)
        On another note, Anyone looking for AVAM, let me know.  Tower in
San Diego has about 6 copies.  I also found Pale Saints 'Mrs. Dolphin' at
Off The Record, and they have 2 more.
        Both are incredible!!!  Maybe I could pick one up for someone.
Does anyone have a discog on RHP?

        $100 on this one. It is in absolutely pristine condition
        and comes with all inserts originally included.

I can also include the Red Face of God Ep (limited to 666) if you
are interested.

        hand pasted cover art- does NOT include autographed
        photo. also in pristine (near mint) condition.

You seem to be assuming these fonts are freeware, which I'd doubt given
Vaughan Oliver's stature and the work that goes into creating a first class
professional font. Please don't solicit piracy in any mailing list I'm on --
I used to work for a font company and believe me we _slaved_ over those
puppies.

Now, if someone who has the fonts wants to post info on where to buy them
from, that'd be cool.


but pretty weak by their standards. No bass to speak of. Is there an album or
something in the works?

If nobody can get a sober Japanese friend to translate it for them
mail it to me, I'll take a shot at it.  I correspond regularly by mail
in Japanese and am always translating something.  As long as
it's not too long.

Subject: roast beef? HNIA on aVAM


        I would say that the His Name Is Alive Track is quite a bit like the
album _Mouth by Mouth_, which I like quite a bit. It has lines of lyrics taken
from many of the songs, it has the over-driven guitar, it has the twangy-soft
parts interspersed. I would guess that Dara is someone added to their
amorphous line-up.
        In the radio interview during All Virgos Are Mad, Vaughn confirmed that
the name was Ivo's idea, and that he and Ivo are Virgos. {His "this rimey
river" show was the event first scheduled to be in the UK LA festival and then
the musical things were added later.}

Two questions:

Has  anyone ordered AVAM from CDconnection lately,
and actually gotten it?  I'm still waiting.

I  saw an earlier (?) Earwig CD, I don't remember the title
but the cover was crude/simple artwork.  Anyone know anything
about this?  I keep seeing Earwig all over the place,,
the Blake Babies "Earwig", Pegboy's "Earwig" but this
is the group Earwig what became Insides.  I already got the
one where the lass  is on the cover and then pulling something
like gum off her face on the back cover..
I'll shut up now.

My brother is currently teaching English in a suburb of Tokyo (actually
a city the size of the second largest in Britain, but by Japanese
standards it's pretty small), and had to suppress a fit of the giggles
when he went to a karaoke evening with some friends.  One of them got up
on stage and sang an impassioned version of that famous Elvis classic,
"Rub me tender".

Subject: taking a quick sidestep from CT & DCD


Since 4AD hosted more harder-edged stuff than CT & DCD (all the better for
being diverse), then I thought maybe we could discuss it.  Particularly that
one The The album put out on 4AD in 1980 (the name eludes me), "Perfect
Teeth" by Unrest, and stuff by the Pixies.  Another quick sidenote:  there's
a service run by MIT Media Labs whereby people can rate bands, musicians,
and their respective albums, and based on that data, receive predictions
about how much they'll like an unrated band.  (for info, e-mail
[email protected] with the word "join" in the body.  This will get you a
first survey.)  In any case, the Pixies were the top-rated band!  Well
anyway, let's hear some opinions on some of these bands/albums.
Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to hear them, so I can't honestly
comment.  But I'd be interested in hearing what you all think.
