Subject: Body Shop (lllong:)


I walk into the body shop...there's some loverrrly scented soaps, 'real'
sponge back scratchers,  and oh-oh here comes a BS employee |=<
"Can I help you?"

(yea, I want an a bubble bath that dually acts as an aphrodisiac)

but no instead I said,

"Are there 'free' sampler cd's with a minimum purchase or something like
that...?

"cd's?" she says.

"y'know COMPACT DISC." I reply to her condescendingly in a tone that explains
*exactly* what it is that I want :)

"No."  (shiver) cold response.

eyes welling with water, disappointment slaps my face  "no?" :..(
I couldn't believe it.

There I was in the Body Shop with this vixen (with no cd's mind you) staring
me down, chanting "we don't have any damn cd's, never had them never will !"
 All the while I'm standing with tears running off my flushed cheek into this
mocha scented lotion/ body cleanser and there is this little lame
insignificant spot of lather from where my tears hath landed.  She turns away
from me in disgust, walks briskly over to her manager and proceeds to explain
ALL the messy details of our unfortunate (for me anyway) melee.  I can
overhear them:
"cd's???"  "4AD??!" "what the hell does that stand for?" "what kind of ass
would come into a *place* that sells soap primarily, looking for a cd??"
 "oh, christ I don't know"  "tell him to try the coffee shop for his 'sampler
cd' or better yet go to that diaper warehouse"  "oh oh my that's a hoot!!"
"ah ha ha HA HA HA!!"

I overhear this travesty of a bashing of not only myself, but of the very
music I have dared to search out.  I try to gallop swiftly out of the store,
deftly grabbing with my right hand a forrest green hand towel with which to
wipe away my tears.  In my left hand I swipe a half-dozen bath beads, just in
spite!!  Damn them!  (I know, I know I only have a shower and NO bathtub per
se but...)

Amongst all the commotion the part-time BS employee, during the process of
blowing her nose as a result of the crying that was preceded by the
incredulous laughter, noticed my shop-lifting deed.
"Look!" she exclaimed with a combination of post-laugh exclamation and fear.
"He's stealing!" I stopped instantly and turned around half expecting my
mother, a mall cop, or (heaven forbid) that evil grade school cafeteria cook.
 Each of these individuals had struck fear in my heart at one time or
another, and now there was a fourth to add to my mental list.  The other two
more important BS employees whisked around almost simutaneously deadlocking
their eyes with mine.  Sure, all of our eyes were tear stained and blurry,
and simple things such as running or walking would have (under normal
conditions) been nearly impossible, but there was a grave tone to this
moment.

I froze with the precision of that almost dead opposum you see for just a
second with your headlights.

...and then  I began to move

(oh god) I was running in slow motion. It was like a dream of being chased by
slightly hungry pit-bulls.  My feet were bricks my legs 200 pound weights.
 My coordination?  It had failed me:(  I stumbled to the green and black
checkered faux marble floor with an audacious slap as my hand and *ouch* face
collaborated to 'brake' my fall.
My head was swimming in a sea of confusion, fear, pain, and most of all
sampler cd's.

I could hear the quick footsteps of six birkenstock sandles rushing in my
direction.  "what was I to do??"  my mind reeled rhetorically.

But then. For a brief shining moment everything made perfect sense.

My mind made the connection to the objects that were presently in my left
hand. "Eureka!"  I thought. (oh no I didn't exclaim eureka!, I do have some
self respect!)  I suddenly felt a great surge of self-worth and adrenaline,
for I was MacGyver dammit!  With unprecedented precision, aim, and dumb luck
I hurled the bath beads at the surging BS employees.  At that moment the
planets aligned, Rush Limbaugh shut up, the Cocteau Twins & Ivo were in love
again, and bath bead residue (remember they were in my sweaty palms) collided
with the respective orbits of each BS employee.  The force of this bath bead
residue was so great from my expert southpaw delivery that all three
employees plummeted to the floor. Instantly.

I quickly gathered myself, brushing off the soap shavings that adorned the
floor and had through this escapade adhered to my clothes.  My right hand
clutching the hand towel I made a break for the exit.  Ahhhhhhhh.  I had made
it.

Back out into the clammer and business of the mall crowd, I had to seem
inconspicuous.  I strode along the mall halls playing cool, like I had never
even heard of a cd, or that a body shop carried such an item.  And y'know
what?  It worked.  In fact a mall cop walked adjacent to me for ten or so
strides and did NOT ask anything of me!!

I was not to be deterred just because of some miniscule mishap at a soap
shop, no-sir-ree.  I was determined to get a sampler cd!

I ducked (unnoticed) into Gap Kids.  I don't wear the clothes (well hardly
ever, and besides that part of my life is none of your business!!)
Low and behold, behind the cash register/ check-out area was the following

"With the purchase of any $25 at Gap Kids, you'll receive a sampler cd with
some of today's hottest hit makers!  Like,
Lisa Gerrard, Scheer, Air Miami, Tarnation, and many more!!!"

I felt relief, joy, and most of all accomplishment.  I felt for my wallet
which usually lays near my right buttock, and realized with horror that I had
left it on my nightstand.
"Darn it" I whispered to myself, and went home.

Subject: merchandise avail at avaim that I remember


        Pulling out of my memory...
AVAM CDs, and videos at the shows (available in fine stores everywhere too)

AVAM T shirts, one with the face with yellow stitching over it, one with the
cherries on the front, both had the AVAM text on the back, bought at the shows.

The poster with the face, cherries, and show dates on the front, selling for $5
at first but later in the week, given away for free.

Um, Warren and someone else's coloring book of Ultraman and Scenes From Amish
Life, in pretty limited quantities, at a Troubador show. (Come on, it's
curious, but I drew better Ultraman pictures when I was about 5.)

Some Lilliputs at Arcana Books, in Santa Monica. Didn't see these myself
though.

Available at the This Rimy River show:
Um, the big show catalog book, the big show poster for free, Shinro and
Vaughn's book, _Tokyo Salamander_, for >$100 (a bit more than the Japanese
price), um, Vaughn's Hamlet poster I think, printed record sleeves, j-cards,
and things mounted on foam core [the cool ones were the test pressings with all
the alignment and color test patterns on them. these were expensive, but signed
I think.] Last but not least, free Happiness postcards and little Belly pins.
{My sister informed me that the latter were Belly buttons.}

That's just about it.

Subject: Mouse on Mars, Frank Black etc.


After a week in Great Yarmouth I was once more free to roam the music
shops of Leicester clutching my wallet in my sweaty little hand.  Here's
what I found to waste my money on:

Frank Black / Teenage Fanclub - Peel Session (SFPSCD091)
  Four songs - "Handyman" (originally by Otis Blackwell, sounds like the
  Clash), Sister Isabel (Del Shannon), and two originals.  "The Man Who
  Was Too Loud" is a tribute to Jonathan Richman, in similar vein to
  "Candyman" or "Tsar", and "The Jaques Tati" is basically "Dance the
  Manta Ray" with different lyrics.  Neither Fatso nor the Fannies are
  at their best - one for fans only.

Mouse on Mars - Iaora Tahiti (PURE CD 48)
  MonM and Pram are approaching each other rapidly - "Helium" showed a
  more produced, techno-ish style, and this album is packed with twee
  little melodies and odd instruments.  Kraftwerk's Wolfgang Fluer drums
  on one track, and there are various other guest percussionists,
  vocalists and pedal steel guitarists.  I haven't listened to all
  seventy minutes yet, but highlights so far include "Saturday Night
  Worldcup Fieber" (just as you think "blimey, there's a lot going on
  here" they stick yet another tune on top), and "Schunkel" (*very*
  Pram-like).  Nice, also, to buy a technoey album where the tracks
  average at about five minutes instead of nine.

the first bit of which sounds very fine, and Julian Cope is back on
form.  Main's second single in the Hertz series, "Terminus", is not all
that surprising but still quite interesting if you are in the mood.

Listening to the Smashed Hits by Red Lorry Yellow Lorry - great for that
early eighties Sisters/Goth nostalgia trip.

I got the Scheer Promo 7" yesterday - I think it IS one of the heaviest
things
4ad have probably put out but I think its great. It does remind me of
something but I'll need to listen to it a few more times to come up with

Throwing Muses on The Word was actually rather spiffing, as was about 90%
of their live music policy (the Pixies were really most fabulous on an
earlier series). The Word previewed young, hip and non-MTV Europe friendly
acts and gave them the chance to thrash around noisily and exuberently in
front of some very pretty go-go boys (I believe there were some chicks
involved too, but you'll have to ask my straight friends about that).

When American corporate (or should that be corpse-urate) network
television comes up with something as irreverent, enjoyable and
unrepeatable as The Word, then people selling their fanzines (yawn) can
whine smarmily, whinily and whilst fucking their muthas.

        There is no relation.  I have the track (from the Dust Brothers) on a
Junior Boys' Own compilation.  It just has a bunch of high octave female
vocals.  And I'm pretty sure none of them are Liz.  (I was excited buying it,
hoping that track _would_ be something a la Messiah's "Temple of Dreams"
(but perhaps more laid-back and introspective)).

I saw copies of the single in Toronto, Canada about three weeks ago. I believe
the upcoming full-length release will be a compilation of singles etc. much
like Barbed Wire Kisses and the Japanese CD from a few years back, but not a
new album.

been and gone in the uk and caused not a ripple from what i remember.
probably due to it's lack of airplay in turn due to the fact it dissed
the biggest single broadcaster in the uk. there was a time when i could
recite every track from every single the mary chain put out (90% of the
lyrics too) but this one just sort of washed over me and left me unmoved.
sigh. a sure sign that you are buying too many records.

i guess the japanese cd you're talking about was 'the sound of speed'.
most annoyed when this had an english release a couple of months after
shelling out for the expensive japanese import (track listing was
different but not much, about 2 tracks i didn't have, worse cover too).

will have another listen to the single tonight (whilst reading warped
reality #3) and see if it inspires me.

Does anyone know the going rate on any of the various Jesus y Mary Chain
bootlegs, I have MUSHROOM, and THE Genius of JAMC. They sound great on a
decent stereo, with a decent turntable.  They're both really od, pre darklands
I beleive, one even has Vegetable Man on it.

I happened by a local Body Shop store today here in Calgary and of course
they knew nothing about the cd, but they did give me their customer
service number.  if anyone's interested call 1-800-387-4592 and you can
harrass (er ask) them all the questions you want about the disc.  On the
back of the sleeve it says _...think I'm getting the hang of it_ which I
assume would be the title of said sampler.  From what I heard on the disc
I can not wait for Lisa Gerrard's _the Mirror Pool_ nor Tarnation's
_Gentle Creatures_ to be released!  They are wonederful!

To reiterate someone else's point, I don't think we've even
established that there is any connection between the sampler
and The Body Shop beyond that phrase included somewhere on the
packaging. It could mean anything, and certainly the fact that
those of you who have checked your local Body Shop found no
such evidence lends strong support that there is no connection.

I'll get to the bottom of this and report back.

I guess I got the Body Shop searching going when I mentioned that I had a copy
with the words BODY SHOP in the packaging.  I should clarify...

It just says BODY SHOP, between two angel's wings, like a logo:


                       + THE  +
                       + BODY +
                       + SHOP +

                         ++++
                          ++


And that's it...I found my copy in a used record shoppe...I have a feeling that
it was a promo-only release, sold to the shop by an unscrupulous radio
DJ/record exec.  I doubt that it has any big connection with the real Body
Shop.  Keep looking, though...

The Body Shop is a strip joint on the Sunset Strip, and if you go there,

By the way...

If everyone is complaining so much about how they don't like their AVAM
and No Balls cds, why is everyone so jonesin' to get this one?  It's not
all that wonderful.  Scheer sucks.  Tarnation isn't all that good.
Wolfgang Press isn't on the label anymore.  Heidi Berry is...well, Heidi
Berry.  The Air Miami song isn't one of their best.  And Lisa Gerrard
just wails like an UNcastrated banshee.  The Mojave song is the only one
that's really quality, I think.  The others are ok, don't get me
wrong...but not worth shoplifting and assault with bath beads, let alone

The Protagonist.

I think it's a rather nice video. Keep in mind it pre-dated all those

this stuff: I geuss I am just another greedy capitalist.. so be it but
I am broke right now and need the cash to pay bills..

I have the bootleg called "Fuck". The recording quality is poor. It has
some Peel Sessions and some demos. I think "Vegetable Man" appears twice.
It is on purple marbled vinyl. The best part is that the jacket has been
recycled from an old John Lennon album. If you look inside you see the
outside of some Lennon album. It is odd. I am wondering if all of these
albums use the same recycled album. I am probably not explaining this
right but if you have the record you probably know what I am talking
about. And I got mine for about $12. That was in '91, though.

  The line "water, water, everywhere..." comes from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's
"The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner." "Water, water, everywhere-but not a
drop to drink..." (punctuation mine)
