he wasn't jumping - he was running in place! :) I thought the intro
sequence was absolutely incredible, but had some problems with the film
itself... I thought the interviews broke up the music far too much, and
really hurt it - also, Lisa & Brendan seemed to be just babbling without
saying anything - someone defended it by saying that it was because they
were trying to express the music in words and couldn't - I agree, but
think they should've just skipped the interviews if that was the case. As
for the music, I don't think there are more than a couple DCD songs I
actually don't like, but it seemed like TtW focused too much on the
celtic/folk songs, which really began to grate on me rather quickly.
Regardless, I enjoyed it... I went with a group of boston.net.goths, and
I think we were at least partially responsible for that cheering for the
timpani player :)
Also, someone behind me mentioned that the intro was a lot like Baraka -
anyone care to comment on this? I haven't been able to see it, and if
it's all like that, I may have to go hunt down a copy & hold a
projectionist at gunpoint so I can watch it...

gosh, eMpTyVee just gets worse and worse. i just had to comment on three
things regarding this week's show:
1)bettie seervert (sp?) play okay music, but their on-screen rappor
read-the-teleprompter-bucko sucked. but then again i can't imagine having
to sit there and do that either, so...still i think 120 should just be
videos with out any pointless guest-hosting. or maybe they could just run
the teleprompter text and then show the videos...
2)did anyone see what DCD video they have picked? it's "american dreaming"
or "dreams," and it was so folky and ...commercial! granted, im not a huge
fan, but my into the labyrinth is quite a tad different from brendan and
his 12-string. i assumed earlier dcd is even darker, more varied, and, dare
i say, *gothic* than later stuff, but folk ballads? anyway, the timpanist
was soooo funny! i spent the video half in disbelief over song choice and
half in stitches over perry's facial impressions.
3)there was a promo for eMpTyVee that really disgusted me. it in a nutshell
blamed books for many things wrong on this planet (ex. 'books caused
bombs.') of course the whole thing is in jest, and that is obvious to us,
but i can't help but think of little kids who will watch that and get even
more discouraged about reading than many in this television society already
are. it's bad enough that our literacy rate gets lower and lower; now mtv
is directly supporting that imo with ads like these. this takes mtv to new
lows.

Actually, his remixes of DM's "Rush" (found on the "Condemnation" CD-single -
at least, in the US) are actually *quite* good, easily the best things on the
single. Also, his remix of Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" is brilliant! I'd love

The extra tracks are actually "It's A Fire" and "Sour Sour Times". They
are available on UK CD singles.
"Numb" had five mixes of that song (including one called "Tribute to
Monk and Canatella" which is a long jazz instrumental with a crackly
version of "Numb" added to the end).
"Sour Times" came in two forms - one with "Pedestal", "It's a Fire" and
"Theme from To Kill a Dead Man", one with five mixes, including "Sour
Sour Times".
"Glory Box" has four mixes of the song (the track called "Scorn" isn't a
new song - Portishead have a habit of giving remixes completely
different names).
Those of you with this week's Melody Maker can see the swimming pool
where I learned to swim (there's a postcard from Portishead on the

I've always wondered why CDs eventually become unavailable. Isn't the
compact disc the perfect medium for digital storage (no moving parts, no
contact with anything other than a laser beam, etc.) ? Why is it then that
some titles have been deleted forever? If something is archived onto CD for
permanent storage, why make it eventually unavailable? My guess would be
that these types of decisions are made arbitrarily by record labels. It
seems logical to me that a compact disc should remain available forever as
the medium is one of permanence. Anyone care to comment on this?

I would imagine it is a production problem. A record company sends
their material to a CD manufacturer, Nimbus comes to mind, with an
order for xxxx CDs. Nimbus produces and returns. When those run
out...it is a management decision whether or not to do it again.

Yes, I heard the first track at a friends house and all I can say is

You mean like when something's out of print? I'll take a stab at
reproduction -- that so-called "free flow" of information -- Capitalism
discourages it. This is why I've often said that the GNU General

Record companies put out CDs to make money, not simply for the glory of
the format (unfortunately ;-P ). When they stop making money, they stop
making discs.

Yeah... I think that the record is absolutely terrific, and
completely exudes sincerity and emotion.
I almost *always* skip over "Psychopath" because it *really*
disturbs me.
My favorite track is "Sexy Little Girl Princess", because of
the way she uses the vocals. I also love "Just Geek" for the
arrangements. Can anyone put a name on the genre? Sort of a
mid-eastern synthy pop with violin.??
She wears her neuroses on her sleeve, but we seem to appreciate

"The Plateau Phase", "Live On A Hot August Night", and "Sexus".
I only heard two songs by this band about 5 years ago and LOVED them and have

my move. A quick review from anyone would be great!!!

Sure. The record business is a business. Just because CDs can store
information forever (or actually, for a very long time) doesn't mean a
label can afford to keep everything they've ever released in print. CDs
are like books and movies; once their shelf life has run its course and
no further copies can be sold (or rented, in the case of movies), they
must sadly be taken out of circulation as they are no longer an
affordable proposition for their respective labels.
This is not necessarily a permanent proposition. For one thing, if a
major label cannot any longer find it worth its while to keep a CD in
print, there is often (now more than ever) an indie label ready to take
up the slack. (One word: Rykodisc.) And also, artists have often bought
back the right to their catalog albums and put them out on CD themselves
when no label expresses an interest. John Prine and Arlo Guthrie are two
who come to mind.

In response to the recent post by Jason Schmitt re: why CDs are allowed to go
out of print. I would suggest that the permanence or perfection of the
medium has little, if anything to do with it. Discs are allowed to go out of
print if and when record companies find that they can no longer find
consumers willing to buy them. A quick trawl through the cutout bins of any
major record chain will almost certainly confirm this. Since my guess is
that this is almost always an economic decision, it could hardly be called
arbitrary. The companies that press these things are not established to be
archives for the preservation of a misical genre (although several market
themselves that way), but rather as money-making enterprises beholden to
stockholders who demand profit. Good, bad is irrelevant. That's the way it
is, and I'll bet anyone at 4AD will acknowledge this sad truth. My comment
on this issue is that the best thing that consumers can do to ensure that
worthwhile discs don't go out of print is to continue voting for favorite
artists with their pocketbooks, and, in cases where discs have dropped
prematurely out of sight, demonstrate your economic support for the artist by
petitioning the label via snail and e-mail for a reissue. This is more
likely to get a response than theoretical arguments regarding their roles as
archivists.

years ago selling one of those disgusting little sparking stun-gun deals?
anyways, at one point in the mercial, in an attempt to scare up more business
(ha ha), they play this 911 call where this woman is saying she is in her
bedroom and someone is trying to get in, etc. etc. i'm pretty sure its the

propulsive Martin Hannet-esque doomrock. A great record for fans of Joy
Division, a Certain Ratio, etc., although with slightly less personality and
individual flair than either of those artists. "Sexus" I barely remember as
being a decent, but mannered variant on that recipe. The real ace in the
deck is "Hot August Night", which includes "The Presence," as atmospheric and
powerfully-building a tidal wave of late night, lights-out no-exit industrial
rock as early 80s England ever produced (apologies to 23 Skidoo's "The
Culling is Coming"). (Their finest monent. It's no accident that they
copied "Hot August Night's" cover art for the FBN 12 compilation.) The disc
is a great CD to have around. Super for dates. Seal the flap and mail the
fucker before it goes out of print (see earlier posts).
