I read that playing cello for the Boo Radleys is probably one thing she will
never be asked to do again. Apparently, she told Martin Carr that she could
play the instrument. When they went to record she was only able to play a few
usable notes. The ever resourceful (and ever brilliant) Boo Radleys were able
to work those few notes into their sonic warp n' weft.
And "Giant Steps" is so much more than a Sgt. Pepper tribute/remake that
people who say that couldn't be much further off track. It's a "Pet Sounds"
remake too. And a "Loveless" remake. and a "Yerself is Steam" remake. and a
"Revolver" remake. and an "Everything's Alright Forever" remake.
and it's completely wonderful. :-)

(should have included this with the other message, but nevermind.)
Michigan has also given us Slot, Asha Vida, and Spectacle.
Not terribly well known, but they're all pretty great in their own ways.
So now it's "1,000 Lakes" and "10 out of 11 cool musical imports"
just my $0.02

A good question! I got a copy with the same catalog number through the
auction that was held here recently, and I was very disappointed. I was
just sure there was an actual version with the CAD 117 catalog number (I saw
a picture of it in the new VO book). Now I'm not so sure...
Well, it seems to me that the record I got (I sent it back because of all of
this) was a repressing or something. I think there was a 1982 date on it.
Maybe the original version is CAD 117, manufactured for Japan with UK
catalog numbers. It was a hit and a Japanese company reissued it later.
Maybe that would explain why there are more of that version floating around
than the original.
I'm just guessing now, so don't take my word on it! Does anyone have the
real scoop? Does anyone out there have CAD 117? Please let the world know
(or at least this small part of it).

they play live, but they do it once in a blue moon. they did the 13yi
after their tour, and this avante garde festival in mexico soon after
that, and AVAM...plus shows in MI. there's no tour planned so don't
expect to see them anytime soon. it's been said that a certain band
member is unhappy with the amount of exposure the band has received
{not LACK of, mind you} and so that may influence the decision to
play future shows. i wouldn't expect live dates til after the next album,
which may not be due out 'til late 1995.

No prizes involved, sorry, but it might be some fun.
One thing about 4ad artists that sets them apart from artists on other
labels is the fact that they all rework their songs and include them on
newer releases!
Can you name all the reworked 4AD songs?
Here are a couple to start things off:
-The Dirt Eaters, by HNIA: released on the EP, reworked for inclusion on
the Mouth by Mouth album
-Snailhead, by Throwing Muses: released on the Chains Changed EP, reworked
for the Firepile EP

>Can you name all the reworked 4AD songs?
Throwing Muses - "Say Goodbye" from _Hunkpapa_ / _The_Real_Ramona_
Does "Fond Affections" count? (Rema Rema / TMC)
This is kind of a silly question anyway - there are always remixes
and different versions that don't count as "reworks" (although the
two listed above are pretty good examples. :-)
BTW - rehi. It's been a couple of years.

Wow, sounds like Human Drama belongs on 4AD... and PWEI... and every band
somehow related to Pigface... and how many times was "Send Me an Angel"
released?
>Can you name all the reworked 4AD songs?
All? That could take years...
How about half of Lisa Germano's album Happiness. Does that count? And
Kristin Hersh's Strings EP? Does the This Mortal Coil stuff count?
Throwing Muses:
'Fish' from the '85 tape was reworked for Lonely is an Eyesore
'Stand Up' from the '84 EP was reworked for the first album
I think the versions of 'Same Sun' and 'Amazing Grace' on the 'Counting
Backwards' single are the same as the originals
'Soul Soldier' from the first album had stuff tacked on to the end for
the Fat Skier EP, but I'm not sure that counts.
Modern English:
'I Melt With You' was reworked for Pillow Lips
'Raise the Roses' from the Muses' '85 tape became 'Angel' and 'Sexy S'
'Childcatcher'
that dog:
A bunch of songs on the album were on the double 7" in different form
But this is all somewhat silly.
Less irrelevantly, will Kristin ever release a new version of 'Sinkhole'?
Or just get release the tape album on vinyl or CD? (That'd be better,
because then we'd get "Raise the Roses" as well. Especially if they added
the '84 EP to the end of it. Or at least Tanya's laugh from the end of "The
Party.") Oh, and if the '84 EP isn't released, she really needs to give us
a studio version of "Santa Claus" one of these days.

What about the studio version of Santa Claus at the end of Hunkpapa? (CD)
