Speaking of which, does anyone have this on videotape, perchance?  I'd
love to see it.

And wasn't "Carolyn's Fingers" one of the songs that they did?  I
remember reading a post from someone that saw the show, probably on the
UK-Indie list.

Hey, you've got every right to be hostile.  This trend towards multiple
and limited edition releases is bullshit; we know it, the labels know it,
and they *know* we know it.  SO what are we going to do about it?  As
long as people continue to pay, they'll continue to exploit us.  It's not
like 4AD is above such tactics anymore.  Fuckers...(and I even hate
Belly!)

Hi

I saw a posting that mentioned a MBV list. What is the subscription details
for that list?

Thanks...

BTW, Great news about St Etienne not splitting up. Is the project that Bob
and Pete are working on with the three vocalists called Golden. They have two
songles out on Bob's Icerink label.

Cheers

Donald

does the original version of The Dirt Eaters ep have any songs that
Home is in Your Head? because i got HIIYH domestic so i wouldn't have
to buy "the dirt eaters" aswell.

i'm not sure about Livonia but i know you can still get the US version
of HIIYH... i think you can even get it from Darkwave, if you get their
full catolog....  i'm not sure though, because i found mine used.

PS- anyone else get the full
darkwave catalog... they carry
alot of 4AD, plus some really good
shoegazer, indie, ethereal and tech./ambient
stuff.

I think that what people find "offensive" is dragging out stupid
flame-wars, especially when the topic is not and never has been
list-related.  Someone who didn't know Kelli made a dumb statement, was
attacked, and apologized.  If you doubt the sincerity of his apology,
take it private.

Now I'll just kick back and wait for the inevitable "last word".

...and what a cool, hip opinion it is!  Actually, thanks for completely
missing the point.  I don't give a flying one how long Verve has been
around, or how cool it is to like jazz.  The point is (your attention,
The Verve's albums as Verve label releases (especially when they're
usually found in a completely different part of the store), then they
(Verve, the label) must think their fans are idiots (end of point).

Finally, someone put together a Trees page. Nice too.

I was at the show also, don't remember what came after BYG.  Enjoyed
the show very much, nice to see the place as crowded as it was.

Had a question of my own.  Immediately after the show when the lights came
back on, what was the music that was playing?

Anyone else there?

Thanks for your reply concerning my 4AD US promos list. The promos you
listed are true 4AD, but will feature in the second list, containing those
4AD acts that are or were not part of 4AD's deal with Warners.

Oh so true.  Take into account, as many who have shelled out the cash already
have, that each 4AD long-play release has had an alternate or "limited"
format to accompany the normal one.

Belly-King & Ltd. Book King
Throwing Muses-University & Ltd. University w/ Postcards? (I'm still waiting)
Wolfgang Press-FLD & FLD double cd set
Red House Painters-Ocean Beach & Ocean Beach 2 x 10" vinyl.

Up to this point, it has been only a mild irritant to pay into the collectors
trap, but being one who accrues 4AD releases, I do.  However, this deal with
the Belly single is ridiculous.  No, you can't order it through the 4AD
mail-order, no, you're local (at least USA distributor), can't get it, and
no, we can't swim the English channel to show those at 4AD that we are worthy
enough to purchase the pending ltd. Belly singles (but only if we know the
magic word).  Will we boycott?  Hardly.  But, I'm starting to get strapped,
and with the upcoming release of the deluxe v23 exhibition book (very ltd.
*suprise*) and the Belly singles, us 4AD enthusiasts in the US are beginning
to wane in our excitement.

Waiting for the 20 cd Dead Can Dance "the lost recordings" to be released
only in SW London on the dates of Sept. 22 & 24, from 2am to 4am, numbered
pressing of 10, and weighing in at a hefty 4000#,
