finally tracked down a copy of the new air miami yesterday. about all i can
say is that it's not bad. most of the tracks are really more pop ideas than
pop songs. this is not necessarily bad, just not really memorable. it's
nice to hear them open up the sound with drum machines, synths, and
distortion. i suspect this is due to producer guy fixsen.
the song dolphin expressway is really nice actually. which of the two
current promo samplers is this one on?
i doubt i'll be keeping the cd though, so if anyone more tolerant than me
wants to take it off my hands, let me know.

Whaddaya mean, "lost"? I mean, I know Verve has broken up--but what's the
deal w/the other bands as "lost'? Or are you just saying you don't like
their most recent work? Don't know what the hell the Cure are up to if
anything--but I just got _Ejector Seat Reservation_ today, and I like it
quite a bit. The first track threw me off--I thought I'd put on my High
Llamas disc or something--but from there it's not the old Swervedriver,
but an evolving one.
And as for _Happy Days_: resequence it. For some reason, they put the
pseudo-metal songs first, and at least two of them are pretty lame. But
the rest of the disc is pretty good--and is growing on me, after my
initial disappointment. I doubt I'll ever think it's as good as _Ferment_
or _Chrome_--but I give them credit for trying to do something different
from what they'd already done.

Sorry, misunderstanding:
The Rand amount is R 89 to R99. The 17.50 was supposed to be preceded by a pou
ds sign (obviously not showing up) for the benefit of non-SA people to get a com
aritive value. Basically, they are a normal price for CD's in this country as (>

Well, I've been keeping up on the whole release thing, and I have a couple
comments to add. First, the release will be 28 songs, 14 on each disc.
They've spent the past 6 or 7 months recording furiously for this release,
and unlike Siamese Dream, James and Darcy play instruments on this one.
They've done a whole lot of sampling on it, and Darcy was the only one who
refused to go high tech.

Did someone get ahold of your account and post these things to the
list or are you serious? If you're serious here are my responses. 1)
Sure, the Lisa Gerard album, Mirror Pool, is a lot like DCD, but it's not
much like Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil (except perhaps "wave become
wings", and "dreams made flesh"), or His Name is Alive (not even blended).
And 2) Everytime a band's members have solo albums there are RUMORS of
breakup.

Well, the whole catherine wheel/belly story:
Catherine Wheel had Tanya Donneley do some vocals on a song called Judy
Staring At The Sun. In the original version, Tanya sung the second verse by
herself and Rob and she did the chorus together. Due to the lack of success
of "King", Sire records decided that they didn't want this version of the
song released. So Tanya was taken out of the second verse vocals and left
only in the chorus for the album. As the second single of the album, they
released the original version with Tanya's verse. I am a big fan of Belly,
but she seriously did rape the second verse. The album version sounds
oh-so-much-beter than the single version. Her chorus vocals are great, but
I just can't deal with the verse.
btw-the video is pretty bad too....

Just a little teaser for you all:
In this week's NME there's a page long interview with the Cocteaus and it
mentions in passing a nine-minute film they've made to go with the new
Twinlights ep. Sounds interesting. Me, i just hope it looks like the
Fruitopia adverts...
Yeah, and will we get to see 'To Kill A Dead Man' now that Portishead
have won the Mercury Prize?
Also, don't pay through the nose for FTWW cds. For the prices people have
been asking you could send off for something from 4AD mail-order and get
one for free with any lp. Or just ask one of us English people to get one
for you. $25 is a lot of money for something that is free.

For what it's worth, I always play 'side 2' of Extractions by
Dif Juz first (starting with "Love Insane", not "Crosswinds").
Also I almost never play "Back Door" on Medusa. "After The Call"
is a much better way to end the album.

> Modern English - one of the 4AD bands I have never heard (as far as I know).
> What do they sound like?
The three 4AD albums:
Mesh And Lace: gloomy post-punk rock. harbingers of doom.
After The Snow: MUCH lighter and TONS more melodic, with still
somewhat of a kick. Features the MEGA-hit-80's-anthem
"I Melt With You". 4AD's biggest selling album of all time
Ricochet Days: The boys become a really decent pop band. Lighter
and more pop than the previous album.
The UltraCrap post-4AD albums:
Stop Start: Sounds like someone threw a ton of money at the band
and they didn't know what to do with it. Way overproduced, loud,
obnoxious, anthemic.
Pillow Lips: A good deal better than Stop Start, but rather bland and
uninspired.
> Are they worth getting (Paying SA rands = 17,50 # or $27,00).
After the Snow is the one to go for. Then Ricochet Days.
Buy them from someone in America for a lot less.

I just found out I have a few extra posters from
All Virgos Are Mad (last year's 4AD festival in LA). These
are the tall variety, listing all the shows, with the misty
woman face and the mess of lines stitched over it (ie. like
the CD); not the Vaughan Oliver "meat" poster. I have 5
of them, and since they were eventually given away free
at the shows, I'm not going to ask for any payment beyond
covering postage and the cost of a mailing tube, which will total less
than $5, most likely. If you want to offer something in trade,
I'll consider that as well.
Please respond to ME at THIS ADDRESS ONLY (conveniently

Here's the line of thought it's supposed to begin-- It probably only
makes sense to me, but I'll try to put it in words. Okay, suppose
there's no God...now we have all these people calling themselves atheists
who have to actually say that they do not believe in the ultimate source
of existence...if God really did not exist, it would make a lot more
sense for there not to be this idea in the first place which certain
people have to go out of their way to refute...not just any idea, the
ultimate one.

Sheesh, can you give some lyrics at least?
Lorita Graham was the female vocalist of Colourbox (and she also did
some stuff with Baby Ford). Perhaps what you heard was Jamaican singer
Dawn Penn, she did a sort of a cover of Colourbox's "Baby I Love You So"
entitled "Night and Day" which has sort of a reggae-ish sound to it.

To anyone considering joining the lush list, don't. It's the worst mailing

Sadly that's the only song she has that is decent. I too, mourn the loss of

Where in hell did you get this? Is it not out of print? I have been
trying to locate a copy forever. All I have is a bad tape of Tocsin that
someone made for me. I have heard of only 3 other albums besides Tocsin,
but the only two I have ever seen or heard are Tocsin and Fetish. Fetish
is pretty good too, although I think Tocsin is better.

list than was previously thought, eh? I'm kinda glad I started this
thread...
And while I'm at it, Billy does come across as quite brittle on
_Siamese Dream_, but the events which led up to its recording would lead
one to expect a kind of desperate plea for humanity from Mr. Corgan. It's
still an excellent album, bleating aside. "Soma" and "Silverfuck" are
some of the most amazing things ever recorded.

Not that I should always be the center of attention or anything like
that....but, I sent a Throwing Muses review and another message to the list
on 9/13, and I was surprised that no one responded to either one.
Were they just mortifyingly dull, or was there some delivery problem with the
server?
Be brutal, I can take it.

I knew I should have grabbed more posters!
They've all been claimed, and within a day you'll
hear from me if you got one. If you don't hear
from me, you weren't one of the first 5.
That concludes the use of this e-mail address for now.
Please send no more messages here; send them only to
my usual address [email protected].
Cheers,

YES! I would like to have one (if you still got one left).
Please mail me your post address so I can send you the $5. I'm living in
the Netherlands so if you need more $ to send it let me know.

Thanks to Lawren for being civic-minded and posting a FAQ, but (a) it's
kind of out of date, as a few people have noticed by posting corrections
that I already made months ago, and (b) the current FAQ is available on the
Web at
It has a lot of new and updated information, including slews of thislisty
Web pages. Plus it's not in a boring monospaced font with hard line breaks.
(HTML is your friend!) Layout-wise it's not too exciting, no fancy
graphics. It does make use of tables in some of the discography sections,
so those sections will look like shit unless you have a table-capable
browser. I recommend Netscape 1.1.
If you're interested in my general home pages -- and those of my wife and
our adorable two-month old son -- jump back up to
Now that all the major online services have Web browsers (even though AOL's
in particular sucks bigtime) and direct Internet access is readily
available and cheap in most areas (I pay $17.50/month) I think a Web-based
FAQ is definitely the way to go. For instance, I've probably updated the
FAQ a dozen times since the initial conversion in June, without having to
spam the list every time.
However, there are still some folks out there who don't have Web access.
When I initially advertised the new FAQ on the list I asked people who
wanted to read the FAQ but didn't have Web access to e-mail me. No one did.
I assume that means we are all up to date technologically, so I'm not
worrying. Somewhere there must be a decent HTML-to-plain-text converter
that I could use to produce an emailable version, but I haven't seen one.
Check it out. As always, I invite your bug reports, suggestions and
contributions of new questions-and-answers. I'll get things started with a
question that's been bugging me and which I can't answer:
earlier releases but switched to "Laetitia" in 1993? Is the former a weird
Frrrrench nickname for the latter?

Coincidentally, just a few weeks ago I dug up my Dust Devils records and
played them loud and they still rule. The things I have are:
The Dripping Well 12" ('86) *
Rhenyard's Grin LP ('87) ***
Gutter Light EP ('88) ****
Struggling Electrical and Chemical LP ('90) ****
[First three on Rouska, latter on Matador/Teen Beat. As far as I can tell
only the last album was ever released on CD.]
The Dust Devils were strongly reminiscent of Sonic Youth circa EVOL, a bit
more straightforward on the tunings but more complex rhythmically. (The
term "math-rock" can be fairly applied to some of their stuff, a la
Pitchblende and the like.) They had a female singer who was a lot more
capable than Kim Gordon. The songs are generally based on odd guitar riffs,
and mutate in unexpected ways without breaking down into pure noise. If you
dislike the directions Sonic Youth veered into after EVOL and Sister --
stupid riffs, banal pop-culture parody -- I can highly recommend any Dust
Devils output (other than "The Dripping Well", which is pretty weak.) In
the same way that the Lilys' "In the Presence of Nothing" can be fairly and
non-pejoratively called the great missing My Bloody Valentine album, the
better Dustdevils stuff is really a worthy follow-up to Sonic Youth's
"Expressway To Yr Skull"".
The earlier releases are vinyl-only and hard to find (had to go
mail-order). "Struggling Electrical and Chemical" was easily available at
the time of its release and should still be in print as far as I know. Fall
fans should take note that it contains a really excellent nine-minute
version of "Hip Priest".

Eden's first cd sounds a bit like dcd. they're now on projekt. whenever
i hear the dcd line (can't remember which song right now)that says "I have a
son, his name is eden" i wonder if maybe that's where eden got it's
name. Anyone else like to comment on this group? I think they're pretty
good but kind of boring.

Actually,according to what I remember from my German(I haven't used it in
about two years)the word xmal means "times"or "to multiply".So.in
essence,Xmal Deutschland translated in the true German would be
"Deutschland Deutschland".(Don't quote me on this,gang.)If nothing else,the
name wouldn't have been out of place at that time:Rema Rema,Duran
Duran,Mr.Mister...
hope this helps,cats....

Actually, I just got Tocsin a few weeks ago from the Virgin Megastore. You
may want to inquire about special ordering it. And I would say it is better
than Fetish.
BTW, what are the others you've heard of? You don't mean Qual and Inncubus
Succubus II, do you? Those are included on Fetish and Tocsin, respectively.
I've also seen a single or two on some other label, but I can't remember
what they were called.

the cure song to the sky, a kiss me outtake, is available only on a purportedly
rare fiction records compilation, of which the name escapes me...i have however
seen this comp...its the only cure song on the album...but is well worth the
price...
hope that helps...
