That's funny, about a year ago another guy named Julian [Lawton] made the
same suggestion and even started up a list called "Transoma". It died very
quickly. Personally I think the 4AD-L is as good as we're going to get. I
just wish people could get over their kollektor skum instincts and be a bit
less anal about the details of every single special edition release of
every 4AD recording. It's the muuusic, maaan, not the "D" in the catalog
number. Maybe we need one mailing list for the music and another for the
packaging?
OK, musical discussion: I recently dug up Bleach's EPs and LP and blew the
dust off and have them in heavy rotation at work. Fabulous stuff as always,
somewhere between Lush and Joy Division with real venom in the singing. I
haven't heard anything from them since '93, so I assume they've broken up.
Anyone know the whereabouts of the people involved?
And what about sound samples on the net/web/whatever? Now that I have a
home page I was thinking of reviving my idea of uploading 30 second
snippets of cool new things. I can do this relatively easily being blessed
with a Mac and a CD300 drive. The question is: what format? MPEG audio
seems to have really good compression, but I've seen only decoders, and no
encoders. Are there any for the Mac?
I tried the RealAudio encoder yesterday. The results are comparable to
listening to a cheap AM radio tuned improperly while you're running the
garbage disposal. Really good compression though :)

I don't recall anybody complaining about the idea of people buying, selling
or having auctions for rare merchandise. We're just complaining about the
excess amount of list traffic generated by these auctions. I don't mind
seeing one post about each particular sale. I do start to mind when it hits
ten postings per sale. Nuff said.
Or maybe I'm just upset because I don't have too much rare stuff to sell.
Frankly, I'll hang onto the 4AD stuff (such as I have.) Any Big Black fans
want to buy a copy of the original 1981 release of "Lungs"? Complete with
Steve Albini's personal rubber-stampings and a baggie of someone's hair?

Wahoo, a spandibular, spectrasonic reviewfest from e. On behalf of all of
us, thanks! And well written to boot. As a matter of fact, the Modula Green
review was so gripping that I feel compelled to give them a listen. Only
you forgot to mention what label they're on. Is this an obscure Fax release
of which only 150 were made and I will be forced to pay you $500 for it
when you auction it off ten years from now (during a period where the list
will be grumbling about how 4AD isn't releasing any great stuff like those
old classics by Scheer and Tarnation, consarn it.)
Jens needs to know.
Thanks for forwarding the private mail, btw. Personal to mr. fossum: your
caps lock key is stuck. (The online equivalent of your fly being unzipped.)

Maybe this info will be of some use to someone.
Last night on the radio show Generation Death [The goth show at my school's
station, KSPC, in Claremont (the So. Calif. one)] I heard that
Love Spirals Downward will be the in-studio guests on Thurs. Sept. 14.
Wednesday, the host, said projekt "encouraged" them to go on it.
Since I don't think many people on the list live in the area to be able to
hear the show anyways, it might be more helpful to know that they are supposed
to have a show at the Troubador sometime around then.
(email me if you need any info about the radio show.)
Maybe the darkwave2 fellow can just post all their tour dates so we can
quit finding out about them bit by bit.
I happened to read in the LA Times that the fellow who wrote the Trouser
Press Guides is working on the next book, to be printed next year. The less
than good news, for those who are familliar with, swear by, etc. these books
is that it will consist of entirely new entries, covering music since 1991 or
so, or since Nirvana's _Never Mind_, as the columnist put it.
-nick
I just saw that Einsturzende Neubauten's _Haus der Luge_ and _Funf auf der
Rickterslasen_ (Please pardon my ignorance of German spelling) are released
domestically on Aug. 22! Some of the bestest masterpieces of industrial
music.. of all time! Everyone, get excited! Someone tie me up so I don't
spend money I don't have.

Er... I should answer this one to,
>can you order it seperately, or is it just being included with orders?
NO, you can NOT order this cd seperatly, it's a promo so it's not for sale
I recieved it with an order.
BUT it will in the 'marketplace' soon I think.
In a few days someone in this mailing list opens an auction for this thing,
so ereryone can bid and there will be updates posted every hour. So we can
start a discussion about this methode - if it's right or wrong to do this
in the mailing list... :)
