I mean, how ironic is it that they make such a point of their lyrics being
indecipherable and refuse to discuss them purposely to avoid the kind of
criticism that they inevitably get. It ends up just bringing more attention to
them, especially when they are somewhat discernable, as opposed to Lisa
Gerrard's singing which really is more an invention of a private language.

Subject: New "hip" albums....


Some late-night thoughts:

Jeff Buckley: There are several moments of brilliance on the album;
        unfortunately, they are only moments. "So Real" is a good
        song....the guitar line keeps me interested. But there are
        so many moments of overwrought pretentiousness....far too
        many for me. I'll be interested to hear his next album.

Golden Palominos- "Pure": I think this is about as "thislisty" as
        you can get. I find it an incredibly sensual album. Makes
        me think of the important person in my life, who lives
        a good thousand miles away from me. Lori Carson has an
        _amazing_ voice.

Grant Lee Buffalo- "Mighty Joe Moon": By all rights, I should hate
        this album. It wears so many 70's-rock influences on its
        shoulder, from the Stones to Neil Young. Yet it manages to
        seperate itself from those groups. The more I play it at
        work, the more likely it seems that I'll break  and
        buy it. "Mockingbirds" has already worked its way into my
        preconsciousness.

Well, yeah, you feel that way, and its good, but like I am trying to say,
it's unrealistic to expect lot's of guys to get off to this guy crooning
about his feelings.  It's a good album and I will buy it when it comes
around, but right now they are selling too fast for the price to come
down.  His work does not appeal to me as much as other male bands like
REM.

This is not insulting.  It's just a matter of appeal.

        Okay, I have read Belly lyrics in a few different net sites that

How prominent are her vocals on the album? I've been a fan of hers for
years. It's probably been out of print for a decade but she put out a
solo album at one point. Kind of a wretched production, actually, but her
songwriting shined through anyway, and yes, she does have a beautiful
voice, last I heard of it. It was nice to see her name on the disc and
find out she hasn't pulled a Kurt Ralske on us, but I was reluctant to
buy the album. Is she on there a lot? Also, is Amanda Kramer  still in
the band? I don't remember if I saw her name on there or not. I love her
writing.

Yes! And better--her lyrics are brilliant. Always these haunting, tragic
little stories filled with hints and undertones. She can establish a
character in about four words. I'd compare her a little to And Also the
Trees, in this sense, only she is quick and intense and every phrase
rings with some important detail or terrible irony. Well, not *every*
phrase. She can be quite charming and easy-going, as well.

Just to clear up the stuff about the US labels, she was on Warner as
'Stina' - a name change unique to the American release of Memories of a
Colour. Now she is on East West through Atlantic, under her *real* name,
and for some reason I think they have picked up the old album as well,
though I don't know where I got that idea.

What are these b-sides for Little Star that were mentioned? I have a CD5
for the song which contains only one extra song (also included on he
Japanese release of And She Closed Her Eyes)...what are these other
songs? The ambient remixes? I had heard that these were vinyl-only and
terrible. Can someone shed some light on any of this?

Back from the shores of the silvery Severn (brown really, but

trying to eat my breakfast.  Obligatory over-indulgence story:  met John
and Helen for a lunchtime drink on the seafront, which lasted for ten
hours and culminated in an attempted explanation of the political
situation in Northern Ireland which foundered when neither John nor
myself could remember the difference between Catholics and Protestants.
(Nor our own names, by that stage).

For this you DIE LIKE A DOG, GRINGO!  Black Dog's album "Spanners" is
being advertised in "Select" this month, so it's probably out soon.
Haven't seen any reviews yet, apart from a brief piece which says it's
better than either of their other two.

Again, advertised in "Select" - four mixes on the CD, four on the 12"
(of which two or three are unique), and a 7" with two of the mixes from
the CD.  Not all of the title track ("Going South"), but all the
mixes are of album tracks.

The special CD format is advertised in "Select" (stuffed full of 4AD ads
this month - I'm surprised there is any room left for drooling articles
about Blur).

There's also "Wolf Flow", a compilation of three Peel sessions.

I'm pretty sure that these were the only two Black Dog remixes - they
are both on the "Best Mixes..." compilation (the one which comes in a
little black sleeve with a sticky label).  There is supposedly a 10"
single called "Bjork bitten by the Black Dog" with both of these mixes
on it.

For normal people, "Portis head", for the locals "Por'zed" or even
"Posset".  Mum took Gran up there on Christmas Eve to look at the ducks
on the pond by the seafront (and to get the full story of her bowel
problems, no doubt).

A happy bowel-problem-free new year to everybody!

  I may be wrong, but in this context, doesn't "chic" refer to "momentarily
hip" (sarcastic or not,I do not know) rather than sexual gender? That's
chic pronounced "sheik" and not "chick" right?

Just back from the holidays, and boy does it suck to be in the office.
But then again, I get to see all you guys again (awww).  Anyway.

Got the new DCD.  Has anybody commented yet on the pathetic US packaging
of the CD.  I mean the booklet paper must be .001 microns thin!
I'm sorry to harp on something that has nothing to do with
the acoustics of a music product, but as I've said before, I think 4ad is
a whole aesthetic.  As for the disc itself, I haven't given it the full
exposure, but having been there in person I'll stick with the real thing.

Got Pale Saint's Flesh Balloon.  Enjoyable.  Now I only wish I had Mrs.
Dolphin and I would be complete.

After further review, I give Glee Club/Mine thumbs up.

Lastly, I saw downtown a velvet cased Lush CD, but was in a rush and had
no time to check out the details.  What is it, and should I get it?

Has anyone listened to the new AR Kane.  What's the verdict.  The song
staring off Volume 10 is excellent, so I'm hoping.

Hope everyone has had a good break, and I thank all of you for not
sending too much mail and crashing my system like when I went to Japan
for a week.

I have a HUGE hold pile at work, and could use some advice/opinions
on a few selections:

1) Birdsongs of the Mesozoic: Someone told me I'd dig them, since I'm a
        big Game Theory and Loud Family fan. Customer happened to trade
        in two today. While I can't remember the titles, I do recall
        that one is on Cuneiform, the other on Rykodisc.

2) Lisa Germano- "Happiness": This is the _Warner_ release-- I've had the
        4AD one for quite some time. Are the differences significant enough
        to take the plunge? (keeping in mind that I'm much more of a
        listener than a collector).

3) Kristin Hersh: The only Muses album I've heard in entirety was
        "The Real Ramona." Not quite my cup 'o tea. Wonder if her solo
        stuff would strike me the same way....

4) In the Nursery- "Stormhorse": I've wanted to check these guys out for
        a while...is this a good place to start?

The 4AD release had a few remixes, "These Boots are Made for Walking", was
dropped, and a couple of songs were added, as I understand it.  Even if
the Warner release was available on this side of the pond, I wouldn't
buy it (I'm more of a listener than a collector, too).

"The Real Ramona" is the Muses' poppiest, most commercial album.  You
don't say why you don't like it, but if it's because it's too tame, try
either KH's solo stuff or "House Tornado" - I would think that either
would appeal to someone who likes Lisa Germano.

It's all irrelevant since the original poster clearly typed "chick" and
someone who responded typed "chic" instead.

        Though chic could be used to mean "fashionable" or
"boys-and-girls."  It was intended, in fact, to mean "chick" (a person NOT
having Jacob Paul Leonard's "equipment," see above).  READ THE ORIGINAL
POST!  [sorry to yell, but you guys have the attention span of internet
junkies.  Now what was my point?  :)   ]   The originator has already
adressed (in his own style) my criticisms by telling us WHY he thinks it is
"chick music":

>Well, yeah, you feel that way, and its good, but like I am trying to say,
>it's unrealistic to expect lot's of guys to get off to this guy crooning
>about his feelings.  It's a good album and I will buy it ...

        Meanwhile there are lots of guys "getting off" to Jeff Buckley's
croonings and lots of guys "getting off" on what exactly he meant by
"chic."   Now the five of us are happy because we all know what we're
saying and the rest of the list is sick and tired.

As regards the requested feedback:

1.  I don't know what Birdsongs has to do with Game Theory (if Game Theory is
the jangly Guadalcana Diary-style pop ensemble I'm thinking of).  Unless you
flip over the Residents and enjoy off-kilter keyboard/percussion shenanigans,
I would pass on the Birdsongs boys.  They are nothing like Burma, from whence
they sprang.

2.  Kristin Hersh's solo record is much more jagged and ephemeral than the
relatively poppy "Real Ramona"  "R-Squared" is more anticipatory of Tanya
Donnelly's departure and the music she would later make with Belly than
Hersh's solo work.  "Hips and Makers" is more serpentine,
stream-of-consciousness-oriented work. Really wonderful.  Buy it by all
means, and if you like it, pick up the Muses debut disc for good measure.

Another voice on the Golden Palominos new album is Lydia Kavanaugh, who
also sings in a band called She Never Blinks, who we recently interviewed
in our second issue of ViVid ZIne.  She also sings on a few of Hal
Hartley's films, which by the way are absolutely wonderful, and might be
amusing to fans of 4AD.  Just for pure "aesthetic" artsy reasons.  If
anyone wants to check out She Never BLinks, they've put out an
independent CD and I have the address/information...good stuff, worth
checking out.

My interpretation has been of the spangle maker:
winded, broken window - plays with light

hence, the reference to the "spanglemaker": a broken, shimmering window.
