I made an HC stack too for the same thing!! I've programmed it to
do all KINDS o' stuff, like choose 8 to 20 random songs from all 250+
albums and then put it on a field so I can imagine listening to the
random compilation. Hours of fun...
Also, since I've made a field for catalog #, if two albums were
released the same year on labels belonging to the same conglomerate, I can
tell which one came out first by the catalog # without having to dig out the
actual artifacts. It's also interesting to see which albums have producers,
engineers, recording studios, in common.
I guess this qualifies me for characterization as a geeky audiophile!

4AD was a subsidiary or was distributed by BB.
Then they split, I'm guessing, maybe 1984?
Bauhaus moved to the BB label.
The artists that remain from that period, e.g. DCD, TWP etc.
have their songs published by BB. I noticed this in the 13YI and the AVAM CD
about the publishing rights info.

The Pavement line about the drummers hair is pobably another Smashing
Pumpkins diss. This would seem quite accurate since Jimmy Chamberlan
(sp's drummer) definately has one of the worst hair do's in music. Other
permanent bad hair days include: all if These Animal Men (in 1995), Rod
Stewart is an obvious choice, Keith Richards comes to mind, Dave Pirner
of Soul Asylum (what the heck is that?), kids at lollapalooza with kool
aide coloring (especially in the rain), myself, as well as a million more
that I can't think of at this time of night.

no real surprise that the general consensus so far is: bleecheroo.
fluff. awful. sucks. those damn lyrics again.
that's exactly what i expected everyone to say. thank you for reminding
me that at least a few things are stable.
i had a wonderful day. what fun to go the record store, pay money, and
dash home to listen to my goodies.....
(a note on price...i paid $9.98, steep for a 4trackep w/2 songs under 3
min., but i guess much better than $12.99....someone visits a record
store with a markup problem.)
intially twinlights is not as brilliant as need-fire. intially. by the
time pink orange red was really going my head was starting to buzz in the
distance. and then those strange little noises liz makes at the end of
half-gifts really got me. still....i listened all afternoon...had a nice
interim of seeing three beethoven stringquartets performed live (see
[spiral], really busy...:) )...and then i listened some more. i don't
think it really hit me until just a few minutes ago. it's late, my
room is cozy, the air outside is cold.....this ep is beautiful. i'm
reminded of when i first got victorialand. i think i listened quite a
few times and kept thinking, "ummmm....what just happened?" not that
this ep is really like victorialand-era cocteaux, it's just music you
have to sink into. i am very pleased. the music here is
powerful...subtly so. i am not bothered by liz's lyrics....they may not
be anything compared to say simon huw jones or rilke himself, but i don't
find them embarrassing. for me, it's still the sound of her voice that
touches me....even with the coherent lyrics she's putting a lot into it.
golden-vein is by far my favorite track. really beautiful, what's the
problem here? the piano's nice....certainly not sloppy. i find the
guitar to be lovely...no more repetitive than some things they've done
before. i'm glad this ep doesn't sound like typical cocteaux....hurrah
for taking a different approach than they're used to. i'm just as excited
about them following up on this line as i am about them playing with the
need-fire sound. to be sure, good things are happening.
i was surprised to see the string parts on half-gifts. didn't robin say
he hated strings in the dewdrops interview? ahhh....he was just thinking of
another way to slag off on ivo, the big lug.....i think he really likes
those this mortal coil songs afterall.
okay....you all expected this from me. "can't seem to shake the fear
that everything's the same..."

caught up and have to contribute to the 'wonderful on first listen songs,'
many of which caused me to collect said bands' works:
(in order to make this a complete list i am going through my cd collection,
not including everything, but a lot as it is late and i do pointless,
brain-numbing tasks when it is late (like nesting parentheses and reading
~500 4ad msgs. in a row))
(one more note now that i've made a list, these are songs that upon first
listen, i feel a variety of emotions, usually 'this is exactly how i feel'
or 'god this is such a good song, that explains the shit-eating grin i have
on my face,' or 'ohmigodohmigodohmigod this is such an amazing song.')

wagon christ - mahdelic
there you have it. hmmm, i should make a couple tapes of this stuff, no?
on a side note, the medicine/sixteen deluxe show here a couple weeks back
was fabby. medicine were great, two non-musical highlights of the show were
brad laner lighting a roach (no, not the insect) in the middle of their set
and some guy at the front row playing with the other guitarist's row of
pedals after they left the stage, creating some neat sounds. let me not
forget sixteen deluxe; this local band is imo the best thing the austin
music scene has produced in *years*. i've seen them 5 times now, i think,
and they get better with every show. you're in for an even better treat if
they bring their strobe and smoke machine along on tour. just go see em, k?
oh, and i only caught two songs by long fin killie, but they sucked. well,
the music was ok until the singer started singing. then they were prime
'get off the damn stage' heckling fodder.

A catherine wheel is a little bit of what everyone here said, but not
really. I am under the impression that the design was: one wheel laid
down flat with another set on its edge so that they could roll into each
other. The damsel in distress is set on the flat surface and rolled under
the upright wheel, whose outer surface is covered with spikes. And I
guess each time they turn her under it, it rolls over her a little more
heavily. The sanding-the-flesh thing was a nice idea, too, though. Maybe
they did that.
Anyway, they used it on St. Catherine, whenever she lived. I think it was
longer ago than "medieval times" whenever that is, as I am pretty certain
she dies in the city of Alexandria. She was executed for the normal
reasons saints are executed; refused to renounce the Holy Trinity or
something along those lines.
A Catherine Wheel is also the name used for a symbol (a kind of coat of
arms thing) used by Catherine the Great, its name taken obviously from
her namesake (although I don't know if St. Catherine really was her
namesake. Probably not.) WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAZY PEOPLE!!! God I'm glad I
live in America where instead of royalty and the Trinity we have consumer
advocates and the Potato Head family.
This information is probably all false but it's more sensible than what
anyone else posted so there what do ya think of THAT!? :)

To the individual who listed Sinead O'Connor's "Troy" in their
first-time-I-heard-the-song list, the new Heather Nova cd has a song
very similar and every bit as good. It's called "Sugar"
I also was impressed with Troy with the first listen...and it still
is a treasure. My one criticsm...it has such extremes of loud and soft
that it is hard to set a reasonable sound level for listening. At one
point, you can barely hear her voice and the next, her voice is
distorted due to the volume. I don't want to second guess the sound
engineer (well...yes I do), but compression might have been a good
idea.

So were there singles for "Heaven or Las Vegas" and "Evangeline" since there

My two cents (or $9.61 including tax - a pathetic price)
"Twinlights" is the musical equivalent of the 4CC Cover (ie. crap, I've never
felt so blasphemous in me life); however the sleevies are at their post 23
Envelope best (and I don't even mind the digi-pak). It may grow on me, but I
can't see this one winning them any new fans; it should, however, silence
those who say that say the Cocs are samey (although they could've silenced
the critics in better ways). It truly is Cocteau Twins Unplugged (and I hate
unplugged).

I was thinking of typing out all the lyrics to this song. When I get
a chance, I'll give it a try. The line I remember is something
like "I became a junkie for you and only looked forward to the next
high". Not an exact quote, but saying the same thing.

That's what threw me about this particular single, it appears to be an
actual DCD single, not a promo, but it's so cheesily done, decidedly
less interesting than the actual promo. I'd just like to find out what
the story behind this is.

I have noticed that at least Cocteau Twins have have their music
published by Beggars Banquet, at least at the beginning. Has anyone
ever tried to contact them (or perhaps their American counterpart) to
obtain a copy of the music? Perhaps that would reveal their lyrics,
if they bothered to publish them along with the music (just in case
someone figured them out and stole them, they would have a case to sue
for copyright infringement).

my porcupine tree reccomendation still stands. does anyone know what the
hidden message on that CD is? on the little marketing card, you know,
where did you buy this, etc., the last question is "i have discovered the
hidden message contained on this album and it is:"
anyway, porcupine tree is (i think) something like the above bands, strange
edge, more guitar driven than I usually like, but a brilliant fusion of
ambient, prog rock, moody stuff, (sort of like pyg with keyboards and
guitars.) Buy "The Sky Moves Sideways." It's brilliant.

This is too the first "definition" of a catherine wheel i heard as
well, but that it was used on the nasty st. catherine...it also then is

Hey. I was listening to "Colours and Shapes" by Pale Saints today, when I
realized that it was the same sort of thing the Smiths used to do: happy
music with depressing lyrics. I then started to think about other
non-smiths songs like this. The only one that came instantly to mind was
The Boo Radleys' "I Hang Suspended." I thought to myself, that would make
a really cool tape. . . depressin pop songs. . .So any others to add?
just wonderin'

sorry to here about incidents like this. some people just never get it
do they? the it being "open mind", "try new bands" "so anything
different besides sit in your room with drawn shades and listening to
the same CD over and over again."
llegendary jim's are a fanatastic band, glad you enjoyed the show, keep
the spirit alive. having worked in radio, labels and now tour
pormotion, i can say the best thing for getting people to listen, is
word of mouth. kinda like that irritating shampoo commerical of 5-6?
years ago, and they tell two friends and so on.
as for thislisty and CT, i need a new disc for disc golf anyway, maybe?
maybe not? the jury is still hearing testimony from the nun who saw
the rabbitt run away...
no this is not supposed to make sense...as if most things in the world

I keep hearing about Thirteen Year Itch but I don't know much
about it. Who's on it, when did it come out, etc. Any help would be
appreciated...

there is a new fanzine on the web and people on the UK-Indie list are
editing the effort. I am working on collecting reviews, interviews and
other tidbits of kitch such as the band name thing we have going here.
so far there are 37 people from the UK-Indie list, + or -.
please keep the contribution to small file size, more like the email
sent on this list.
if i get any takers, i will post the sight immediately, otherwise i
will wait until the first issue is up and running--ETA is November 1,
1995.
anyone that wants to contribute, please email me at
[email protected]. I'm looking for some of those sleeping lists,
despite some people's death sentence upon them, fav songs on first
listen, interviews and reviews of film, music, live shows whatever.
all credit will go to contributor, with editing at a very minimal
level. Actually we aren't really editting so much as HTMLing for the
site.
tia - thanks in advance

and yes, i've saved some of the posts here, but not all...

You got it! Geeks use audiofiles--big flat text files--to store their
music data. Text editors are great for universal search. ;-)

A quick perl script outputs the data into tapemaker. Voila!

OK, would need a bit of hacking for this. Perhaps curseperl...
Then again, perhaps talking about our music database apps is really,
*REALLY* not-thislisty.
fact I don't recall any discussion of Theme or Wilmot or Versus
either. I miss the opaque beats from the original Sabresonic; the
sound seems unfussy, almost excessively clean. There seems to have
been a personnel change at The Sabres of Paradise sometime between the
first album and Haunted Dancehall--perhaps this accounts for the slight
antiseptic quality? Luckily I managed to track down a copy of the
original Sabresonic on CD to replace my aging dub (*phew*); the tape
was wearing very thin!
music like Babes In Toyland very restful and droopy-eyelid-inducing?
Einsturzende Neubaten's `Tabula Rasa', Dif Juz and Talk Talk also do it
for me. Repetition driven artists like Loop, Steve Reich and Seefeel
tend to relax me rather than put help me to sleep. On the other hand
the angels at MBV and their feedback heaven cherubs Labradford and
loveliescrushing are very much sleepmusic to me; and of course there is
the more obvious restraint of Stina Nordenstam and Honey Tongue.

well, everybody else is jumping in on the twinlights slagging,
praising. some are even managing to hit upon both. ;) well, i picked
it up yesterday and have been trying to put together my intelligent
response/analysis/etc. instead, here is what i have to say. ;) first
an easy point.
the artwork. the rose on the inside of the cd trifold screams out
peter saville. so similar to the new order substance sleeves as the
be noticable. the exterior also is similar to another album cover,
but i have not put my finger on it yet. anyone?
the music. my first response was not "*wow*" or "brilliant." my
response was "i spent 10 bucks on this?!" so i decided to get my
money's worth and listen to it over and over and over (over 4 times an
hour, since it is only 14 minutes long).
if you try listening to and decyphering the lyrics, you will probably
be disappointed. assuming you are expecting the cocteau twins. if
this were some unknown band like the belgian waffle brigade chorus,
i might not mind things like
its an old game i love
when you can't have me you want me
cause you know that you're not risking anything
but from liz, we were expecting the eloquence of obscurity. so i let
that pass and pretended that this was some band i had never heard.
and it is pretty nice. (and besides, i cannot understand half of what
she is saying anyway, even though i know they are real sentences. it
may as well be just sounds.)
the overall feeling is that of intimacy. there aren't the
eighty-b'zillion effects laying between liz/robin/simon and me. you
can actually hear liz breath between phrases. you can hear some of
the fingering on the guitar. the music feels closer, rather than
ethereal and distanced, like the middle-era cocteaux. if you happen
to like this feeling (and i do), then you very well may enjoy
twinlights.
looking forward to the next ep while rushing off to class - drew

??? How is a comparison to Victorialand, one of CT's best, a negative thing?
It's all subjective, of course; I'm just noticing an incongruity as to the
comparisons made by one whose aesthetics seem otherwise more closely aligned
with mine; i.e. I don't know whether to take e's advice or not...
Well anyway, e's review, combined with Michael Franz's, combined with the
Twins' recent general downward trend, are enough to convince me to skip this
bit o preciousness.

I seem to remember hearing that the new SY was in some ways a return to their
past style. Is this true? Is it more like "Daydream Nation" or "EVOL" than
their recent skate-pop stuff?

On Wed, 27 Sep 1995, li'l noise cricket k
from her hole in the woods made this sound:

well... probably not as "experimental" as you might
want, but still quite nice...
the lilys _eccsame the photon band_
yo la tengo _electr-o-pura_
thought they were pretty alright at first but
have been in my audio listening equiptment for
transferring information into air waves which my
ears then in turn translate into what we like to call
sound, since sunday... good gui tunes i guess.
especially lilys.
btw.. id like to believe that if a tree falls in the forest that it will
not make a sound if there are no ears around to translate the air
movenment into sound... why
