In response to John Jones, as nice a listen as "Listening Cap" generally is,
I would never put it in the same league as "Manos," by the Spinanes.
Rebecca's songs are much better and rely much less on wordplay than anything
on LC. Two of LC's three best tunes are covers!

I heard the disk 'fore the video came out, and I remember being very anxious
to see it! I was basically thrilled with the whole thing, with maybe the
exception of the last DCD one. What's the name of that song? Not "Frontier"
but the other one? Anyway, the video did open my eyes to a few things:
1)Ronny Moorings is/was a Robert Smithy lookin' dude, and acts/sings kinda
like him.
2)Colorbox are as cheesy as they sound.
3)I remember thinking that Dif Juz and TWP were the hippest/coolest bands
ever. When I got the LP, "Cut The Tree" didn't cut it for me, but somehow
seeing the video turned that into my favorite TWP song!

On holiday I read The Crow Road by Ian Banks. At one point in the story ,
the central character (Prentice) relates how, whilst getting drunk and
stoned, the Cocteau Twins lyrics become decipherable.
So thats how you do it.

I talked to some Body Shop people, and they said only major cities like NYC
and San Francisco carry the samplers. These are their major testing sites,
with a few other cities. So it`s not a chain wide offering.
The last sampler ``No Balls`` came with Option magazine subscriptions, so
they may be floating around as part of a deal with someone else.
Also, I heard the sampler and it has an unlisted 10th track that I would
swear has Rachel (Slowdive) singing. Is this Mojave (aka Slowdive)?

Dewdrops has just released CD #4, _Glisten_ by Elysium.
"Glisten" is the perfect word for this sun-kissed album, the debut
release from Los Angeles band Elysium.
Guitars meander and sparkle while Jen's angel-siren vocals pour
out emotion into beautiful layers. The music clearly resonates with
bliss, with an uncommon elegance and a wonderful sense of subtlety
that sets them apart from your other favorites. The results
are stunning, original and gorgeous.
The CD features 11 songs / 57 minutes of music produced by the band.
Half of the album was mixed by Shimmy Disc's Kramer, the other half by Elysium.
Jenny Adams
Tony Cornejo

Other albums available:
Dew 001 Thurtene
A tribute to 4AD with 13 bands covering 13 songs from the 4AD label.
The songs run the gamut, from renditions faithful to the originals,
to striking re-interpretations; from studio-produced to
home recordings. Features Orange, Hover, Tel Basta, The Moon Seven Times,
and nine others covering Pixies, Breeders, Modern English, Clan Of
Xymox, Cocteau Twins, Throwing Muses, etc.
Alternative Press says 'file next to your This Mortal Coil box set'
Dew 002 Orange
With influences from Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd, to the Cranes,
to Virginia Astley, Orange would definitely find a home in the hearts
of any fans of lilting and blissful music. Vocalist Sonya Waters has
one of those incredible voices that can either belt out heavenly lyrics
that might be English words or can send shivers down your back
while you sit enraptured.
Alternative Press calls it a 'gorgeous gossamer of a debut album.'
Dew 003 hover - almost everything
Combining sweet girl/guy vocals, and an incredibly infectious and addictive
style, from fun, kick-butt romps along backroads, to charming lullabies, hover
has some of the best indiepop songs we've ever heard. Every single track here
sings its heart out, with jangling guitar melodies, reminiscent of early
Felt or the Field Mice, and an overall exuberance that will have you tapping
your toes in no time. _almost everything_ is highly recommended for anyone who
follows the indiepop scene, or just anyone looking for a good time.
Milkbone says 'They play the kind of breezy janglin' guitar pop
that predecessors Velocity Girl and Unrest ignited the whole indie-pop
frenzy with.'

It's come to my attention that someone is holding
an auction in which the "No Balls" sampler is currently
going for $37! Absolutely ridiculous...
Really, "No Balls" and the AVAM disc are turning
into the scams of the year. The material is largely either
previously released or soon-to-be-released, and the
remaining unreleased material isn't that good, IMHO.
I can't really fault the people selling these
items at ridiculous prices-- it's done by auction, and
the people participating in these auctions clearly
believe it's worth their time and money.
Is there anyone on this list that truly
believes "No Balls" is worth $37, or that AVAM is
worth $25? If so, I have a few pet rocks you
might be interested in... :)

So, if people in Sevillia and Celta de Vigo in Spain can march up with
25,000 to the city hall and say: "WE DON'T WANT OUR FOOTBALL TEAM SEE
RELEGATED TO THE THIRD DIVISION", why then can't you Los Angeles 4AD-listers
march up to the 4AD office and say: "He you fuckers give us a pile of those
Body Shop Sampler CD's!!!!"
Shoot them!! (the entire 4AD staff, not the CD's!)

Other than the limited edition CD (10,000 copies made) and the limited edition

Pet rocks! Please, how much? I'm an avid collector of stones, and...
nah...
Do y'all predict the AVAM limited edition (of 1,000) video will be a goldmine
someday? How many Lonely is an Eyesore videos were made, and are they
expensive today?

hey!
regarding avam merchandise, a bookstore of the arts in santa monica,
california, called "arcana bookstore" sells or did sell avam stuff. they
were the only place in los angeles where one can get a hold of vaughan
oliver's "this rimy river" (well, the only place i know), v23 t-shirts,
avam t-shirts, and they even sold lilliput for $100. but becuase there
were so much demand ofr lilliput, i don't know if they still have
it...they also had the avam cds and the videos the last time i was
there. so call (310) 555-1212 and ask for information on their
telephone number...hope this helps!
laters!

A couple months ago I saw still plenty of AVAM discs
at Aron's in Hollywood for $11.98. Whether they still
have them is anybody's guess, but I haven't yet had the
impression that this is terribly hard to get.
By the way there's a Body Shop in the Century City Mall
if any of you are looking for one.

The last thing I received from C'est La Mort was
a Johanna's House Of Glamour single, Cat# CLM 50.
So maybe Woody shut down after 50 releases. I hope not.
Maybe I'll call him and find out. He used to be on AOL
at [email protected].
By the way, I have a few extra CLM 50's sitting around if anyone
wants them, for the cost of postage.

Yes yes yes...it was Mojave. They didn't have a name for the song yet,
therefore just added it as an unlisted extra track. I heard the Mojave
album Friday night and I have to say, if you are expecting to hear
Slowdive, don't listen! It sounds nothing like Slowdive. It's nice,
it's pretty, it's REALLY acoustic, but it's not Slowdive. Some songs are
really cheesy, and the general concensus of those who were listening was
that it was a good album to go to sleep to...
It reminded me a LOT of "Sweet Magnolias" by Moon Seven Times. All of the
songs had that underproduced acoustic pretty but slow type of sound...

What, if anything, is the stated or implied shift represented by the
name change?
Does Slowdive still exist as a project?
Is "Chris the keyboard player" Chris Trout from AC Temple and Spoonfed
