That's interesting, i loved "filigree and shadow" and "the serpent's egg"
so much because they weren't very challenging. To me they were natural-
sounding, though not simple like a theme to a tv show. It was stuff i
imagine anyone could enjoy without having built up a musical taste or
character from their listening experience. When i want challenging i
prefer Webern or Edgard Varese.

Elysium plays at Stage Left in Glendale this Friday night.
It's a FREE show. 208 N Brand Blvd. Stop by and say Hi to the
band, pick up a copy of the new CD _Glisten_ more cheaply
that you can get it anywhere else, and fall in love with their
mesmerizing performance.
Request them in the LA area on KXLU radio, 88.9 FM,
(with other college radio stations to follow soon)

in an affected way but naturally) like Bel Canto's Anneli Drecker. Vocal
harmonies bring back fond memories of Strange Boutique. This with a
really interesting, pretty guitar style and competent, stylish playing
all around. Someone here can definitely write music. I want to make
positive comparisons to many bands but can come up with nothing accurate.
I second Brant's opinion of this band and I'm not even making any money
off of their toiling. :)
Someone go and see them in my place, as I will unfortunately miss this.
e
The Chameleons! That's it! All that soft wash of guitar weaving in and
out. Not in the completely derivative way the M7x are guilty of (though I
adore them) but with some healthy strumming and a dash of dissonance.
Yummy.

i know this may not be the place for this, but i'm desperate. a couple of weeks
ago rocket from the crypt was supposed to release a vinyl only full length
album limited to 5,000 copies. it is on some indie, can't remember the name,
and not on interscope who is releasing a seperate album in a couple of months.
my question is, can anyone tell me if they have seen/have this. if so, could
we possibly set up some arrangement so i could get it? any help is greatly
appreciated.
about 4ad:
while moving the past few weeks, i discoved that i have an extro copy of the
'no balls' sampler. i'm not quite sure how/when i got it, but there it
was. if anyone wants it, let me know. also, i may be able to get an extra
copy of the sampler and 7" that came out a couple of weeks ago.
lastly, i've been off the list for a few months and am a little behind, so
sorry if this has been mentioned here a thousand times already. is mojave
the new name for slowdive when they signed to 4ad? i surely hope this is
true, the signing anyway, the name doesn't matter. if anyone wants the
'mourningrise' e.p., a friend of mine saw one the other day for $10. it may
still be there.
thanks,
alan

e-bows are great, and cheap!!! you can get from around like $60-$80.
well worth the money. and if you have no guitar talent (yours truely)
they are fun to pretend that you know what you are doing.

Well, for myself, a complete 4AD addict for several years, the
moment I began to feel really nauseated was around the time they
released "Insides" and "The Glee Club". There's something to be said
for experimental music, but then again, there's also something to be
said for tastefullness. The combination of the two was what I always
considered the hallmark of 4AD. Other independent labels couldn't
always get the balance quite right. So, I suppose that 4AD has begun to
show signs that they too have this problem. Too bad really. By the
way, I may sound cynical, but I haven't lost all hope. The last Pale
Saints was excellent. There's always room for another Ivo project.
Someone mentioned "Blood" a while ago on the list as a sort of
continuation of This Mortal Coil. I'm wondering . . .

i hate people who do what i'm about to do, but i thought perhaps i'd be
doing someone a big favor by offering this here instead of selling it to my
local record store. so....
i have a v23 poster set volume two (FAD23) that i am considering parting
with. all of the posters are in mint condition (they've never been opened)
and are still in the handsome v23 tube that they came with. contents
are......
1. heidi berry-love
2. this mortal coil-blood
3. his name is alive-home is in your head
4. heidi berry-heidi berry
5. belly-star
6. swallow-blow
7. frank black-frank black
8. michael brook-cobalt blue
9. red house painters-down colorful hill
10. lush-black spring
11. breeders-safari
12. pixies-trompe le monde
i'll even throw in a mazzy star poster.
so if you're dying to own this poster set, E-MAIL ME PERSONALLY AT:
[email protected]
with a resonable offer and who knows what could happen......

MISTLE THRUSH, FREE in BOSTON TONIGHT 24AUG
MISTLE THRUSH, FREE in BOSTON TONIGHT 24AUG
For folks in the Boston (all right, Cambridge really) area-
Mistle Thrush is playing a free show tonight at MIT outside the
Student Center.
Also, the new Mistle Thrush record, _Silt_, will be out in late
September on Bedazzled. Most of the tracks will be familiar to
frequent showgoers, but some are relatively new. They're all
really strong, and very well produced. If you're a fan of pure
and upfront female vocals with swirly guitars and martial drums,
I think you'll be pleased.
I've spent the last three days or so cursing the fact that I no
longer have a tape deck in my car and can only listen to the tape
at home. :-) I can't wait to hear it on CD.
Stay tuned to http://www.iuma.com/Bedazzled for updates, or send
mail to [email protected] to be added to the mailing list.

Just picked up "TIGTHOI" tonite. Haven't listened to any of it but the
Mojave track (except the first few seconds of Scheer -- I wanted to find out
why they suck. Sounds like 4AD's attempt to cash in on the popularity of
Bush and bands like Soundgarden.)
The tempo is reminicent of "Blue Skied an' Clear" on Pygmalion. It does,
however, have sort of a country-ish/Mazzy Star-ish sort of flavor to it,
which disturbs me a little bit. One song is ok, but I'm not sure I'll like
a whole album of it, though. But, I guess if anyone can pull it off, Neil
and Rachel probably can. Rachel sings, very pretty. A couple of days ago
someone posted the lyrics and they sound right on to me. The lyrics on this
song are unaffected, and more clear and to the front of the song than
previous Slowdive stuff. I would recommend the album, but not as strongly
as I would a Slowdive release.
For the record, my other purchases were:

that's all for now, folks,

Actually, I didn't care for Pygmalion all that much. I thought it
was too techno, with very few vocals. I loved Souvlaki, even though they
turnedmore techno towards the end of the CD, but Pygmalion did NOT sound
like Slowdive to me. I was sorely disappointed. IMHO Slowdive should
return to the "swirling vocals" of before.

does anyone have a copy of this that they'd be willing
to sell/trade? I have a long list of 4ad and realated cs
and vinyl that I will be posting to the list soon, and whoever
can offer this sampler to me now will get first dibs at my
long, long list. (or if that's not enticing, I've got
$ too).
thanks
