Not a dumb question (no such thing).
Not the big kahuna (that I've seen for upwards of $2000). This is LTD. Ed.
Vinyl with Gatefold Inside/more elaborate Artwork and 12" version of the
booklet (design a tad different) from the CD Book. If you are into vinyl and
4AD, essential. Don't spend more than $25 -$30 as I've seen it from
collectors at such prices. Love it.
Gracias,

Especially funny was Mark's improvisation during Lord Kill the Pain:
I didn't want to put this song on the record
But Ivo made me
He said it would sell a million copies
Of course it didn't

Or as Mark put it, 'Dueling Fucking Rock Guitar and Bass.'

This was actually another Black Sabbath song, Sweet Leaf, the only
cover of the evening, aside from the aforementioned Banjos. I was
hoping for Silly Love Songs, but likely it's something they've not
had time to work on as a band.

You are correct on both counts! The sooner people outside Canada realise
what a prefabricated fake she is, the better (although even the British
music press seems to have fallen for it). Not only does she sound like
Taylor Dane, in her new video where she doesn't seem to be wearing any
makeup, she looks like Roland Orzabal from Tears for Fears. "I've got one
hand in my pocket"...and the other one's flipping you the bird, ya big
alterna-fraud...
>Wouldn't it be great if O.J. released a record on 4AD?
Well, considering the talent he showed in that workout video, no...I *do*

pretty mediocre

>Now she just sounds like Taylor Dane.
>Alternative my ass.
Aw, I kind of like her mega-smash-hit song. It's interesting to see how
female rage has been legitimized in mersh music; did PJ Harvey lead the
way? Whatever you may think of the merits of A.M., the venom level in
that song is pretty hair raising. I like the way the boy deejays feel
threatened by it, based on their attempts to joke it off in their lame
comments after the song ends.
And just so this is marginally thislisty, let me recommend the soundtrack
to the film "Exotica". The film is terrific and I hope everyone saw it,
but the soundtrack album works well by itself too. About half the songs
are Arabic/Indian style synth-dance music (tho written by a Canadian, but
the vocals and some of the instruments are authentic) and the other half
are moody bits of atmosphere, often with a similarly Exotic tone. There's
tremendous opportunity for cheesiness in combining synthesizers with
world music, Mychael Danna has largely pulled it off (and anyway, a lot
of authentic world music such as Rai often has far cheesier arrangements...)

I have the Mistle Thrush album, and I wholeheartedly endorse it. It's very
thislisty -- thoughtful, guitar-based alterna-pop w/female vocals, one
interesting percussion/noise-based song.

More about these cards (since hardly anyone's mentioned them):
They are somewhat larger than normal postcards, and are typical
Bruce Licher / Independent Project Press material, ie. letterpress.
They depict a variety of airships.

>medicine, the your'e definitely a person I can like... a lot.
There was some major discussion here (a full-on flame war, in fact) of
Medicine in 1993, during which the band were compared by various people
to God or to Led Zeppelin.
More recently, there were some bad reviews of the new album, by people
disappointed by its relative lack of noise -- I myself just bought the
album this morning, and on first listen I like it more than I thought I
would based on the reviews. The quantity of distortion is less, but it's
still being used effectively, and the songs themselves are good.
Oh, and I'd watch out for deciding to like people based simply on their
musical tastes! I've met some real assholes who like a lot of the same
music I do, whereas some of my best friends aren't much interested in
music at all.

I was gonna bring the cds along with me, but forgot, like a loser... I'll
go from memory as best I can:
BAD 5012: Scheer, Schism EP
This is a four song ep (the fourth track clocks in at 10:00 or so with an
extra little track at the end of some british guy reading a poem or
something). the first song is the song from "...think I'm getting the
hang of it", Sometimes? Yeah, I think that's the name. The second and
fourth songs are a lot like that, kinda grungy loud feedbacky wailing
guitars with female vocals. The third song is a pretty ballady song with
all of the guitar noise swept briskly away. Baby Size ... I think that's
the name of it. The artwork is really cool. A charcoal coloured
gatefold sleeve with gray stone-colored masks on each fold. It's really
neat...looks like you'd get your hands dirty just touching it.
CAD 5013: Mojave, Ask Me Tomorrow
Ok, well there's been many many posts about this already, let me just say
that I think it's beautiful music. A really nice Mazzy Star/Moon Seven
Times type of music (and yes, Slowdive's wall of sound has been
shattered). Love Songs on the Radio is still the prettiest song. This
is a promo, no artwork...
AD/BAD 5014: Air Miami, Fuck You, Tiger
An excellent ep. The remix of I Hate Milk is even better than the
original, if that's possible. Warm Miami May is also a really good
song. Afternoon Train (remix #3) is a short instrumental, and the last
song (the name escapes me) is nice, but kinda redundant. The art is
amazing. The 7" is all black with a little square in the center and a
picture of a tiger lying down. The cd5 is a full-size of the tiger
(front half on front, back half on back) on the black background.
Hey, did anyone notice that the red highlighted letters on the me. me.
me. booklet spell things? I've gotten, among other things "Definitely
bridget", "b.c."[several times], "Four a. d. ", "factory", and "i w r".
there's still a few I can't figure out... if anyone else has noticed
this, let me know what you've found...
BAD 5015 The Amps, tipp city.
For those of you who are music directors at radio stations or whatnot,
you've probably gotten this single from Elektra. The ep is three songs,
a whopping total of 6:00 for the entire thing. tipp city is a great
song, probably the best song on the ep, just like a briar is really good
too, and empty glasses (kim's basement 4 track version) is ANGRY. The
whole ep is really low-fi, but the songs are great. They're short, fast,
and GREAT to get you going in the morning (considering it only takes you
6 minutes to get going in the morning, that is).... The artwork is ok,
nothing impressive...but I love the green colour they use, and green is
FAR from being my favorite colour, so I suppose that's a plus.
anyway, this is far too long as it is...let's just say g'bye now, kay?
g'bye now!
