I've seen Catherine Wheel twice over the summer.
Both shows were excellent (one at
the small and intimate CBGBs, the other
at a the larger-yet-still small Irving Plaza).
I didn't care for "Happy Days" much either
when I first heard it but...I don't listen to much
mainstream "grunge" like Soundgarden
or whatever to even know what to compare it to...
so when comparing it to "Chrome" or "Ferment"
the tansition is clear as is the direction they
headed in. I miss songs like "Texture" (they are
playing this on the current tour now I hear)
and "Broken Head" and "Strange Fruit", but
about 3/4 of the newer songs are up there...
Okay, so the album still sucks, huh? Go see
them live with Belly and then make up your
mind. The new tunes come across so much
powerfully live (esp. "God Inside My Head"
and "Empty Head"). Then "Happy Days"
will start to click for you...it did for me.
On another note:
I finally acquired a copy of
"This Rimy River" and what a wonderful
book it is: beautifully laid out and printed
out on good stock paper. As nice as it is,
I wish that exhibition would have made it's
way here to New York....maybe next time
Vaughn Oliver has one he'll do it at
a gallery here. Still, the book reminds me
of why I miss vinyl: BIG COVER ART.

Hi again
There hasn't been too much list interest (silly me... as if anyone on 4AD-L
doesn't already have these!), but I thought I'd post this... just for the
curious.
Again, the two cds are:
THROWING MUSES - s/t - bid now @ $14
THROWING MUSES - House Tornado/The Fat Skier - bid now @ $10
Both are 4AD uk imports and in excellent condition.
If you're interested in either (or both), please let me know before Midnight
on Monday.
Also, is anyone looking for the first two Slowdive CD singles? I can get them
- but I need to know if there is interest first. . .
Finally, someone asked about the Lorelei album: It's brilliant - everything
you'd expect from this amazing group. It's not easy to describe, either -
throwing together influences from all over the map: dub, noise, pop,
whimsy... it's all in there; and it's one of the best things I've heard all
year. Still doesn't beat "A Stable Reference"... but what could? :)
Thanks for your patience, time, and space

Soundgarden are actually much better than the Catherine Wheel or any
other grunge band for that matter. I don't consider them grunge really;
they are just a rock band. If you haven't given them a chance maybe you
should. Superunknown is arguably as good as Chrome or better. (I dare
say neither band will ever beat Ferment.)

I have to partially agree with this based on the single, which I heard
today. The third track is the awful demo that showed up on the 4ad
sampler, but the second is pretty fab and the first song on the disc
totally rocks and is way fun. Not the punk trash I had been expecting. As
soon as I can find a copy of the disc I will buy it; this one was
unfortunately spoken for.
In a parallel development, it turns out that the movie Showgirls really
isn't all that awful. It was kind of okay-mediocre. I don't see what all
the fuss has been about. Oh hey! This is actually kind of ontopic: Did I
heard a song by Curve playing at some point? I could have sworn it was
them but didn't recognize the song. Anyone know where it's from? The
covetted second single from...uh...shit...what in hell did I do with my
Curve cds? I wonder how long those have been missing for...

Wait, you mean "Scar"? The EP that opened my eyes to the whole shoegazer

far better than anything they've released since "Sweetness and Light"
(except maybe the original version of "Starlust".)

Yes, it's also on CD. I think it's the shortest CD I own - I can't
think of any others less than six minutes long. Only released on 12"
and CD, no 7" (which is odd, because I would have thought 7" was the
natural home of the lo-fi punk rock single). I still think it stinks,
by the way. The Amps album will probably be the first Pixies-related
release I won't buy.

The two EPs Huremics and Vibrating Air are definitely out of print,
as is their "Time Clock Turn Back" cassette. There are also two
other tracks, one each on two other compilation cassettes, one being
a demo version of "Echo Wreck". Also out of print is the album
Who Says So. Add the possibly still-in-print Out Of The Trees,
and Extractions, and this sums up the total output of Dif Juz.

I have all of the above, actually (except for one of the comp tracks)

He released a couple of albums yet.

Yesterday the Cocteau Twins (all four of them) played live on MTV's Most Wanted.
I saw them performing two songs, I didn't watch the whole show so I don't
know if they played a third one...
1. Half-Gifts
2. Golden-Vein
I haven't heard their last e.p.('s) yet so I can't compare them with the
original versions.
Ray Cokes (the guy who is presenting the show) said about the Cocteau Twins
"this is the music that goes deep down into your soul and makes you think"
and Liz said (laughing) he was a FOOL.

I noticed today that they actually don't sound like a happy Joy Division

Ouch... geez, I just listened to this album all the way through for the
first time today and I really loved it. There are some really powerful
songs on Happy Days... including Shocking and Kill My Soul, not to
mention Eat My Dust You Insensitive F***. I don't know how much of a
sell out you can call Catherine Wheel since Waydown enjoyed moderate
success and Judy Staring at the Sun was kind of disappointing in that it
wasn't more successful. If you think about it, the most popular
Catherine Wheel song is probably Black Metallic, and that was their first
single ever. So perhaps they were sell outs from the very beginning?
If you can't believe you bought the album, I bet you can believe that you
could easily go and sell it and buy something that's less of a
qoute-unquote "mainstream sell out" album. John Tesh's latest perhaps?
Or maybe something from Barkmarket?

He *still* slags it off, but with every new interview he seems to be a tiny
bit more charitably disposed towards it, saying something like, "It's not as
bad as I remember it, but it's still pretty dodgy." They do play
"Aikea-Guinea" live once in a while now, so he must find it at least
tolerable. It's not an awful album, but the drum machine sound really sucks.
Oh, and I thought of a way to get around the whole compilation vs. album
This allows people to suggest either, or even EPs or singles if so inclined.
It's just an idea...

They probably already have...however, this seems like it was just a very

get a very wide release and the album will probably be very hard to find

Hey Aaron!
Just thoght I'd throw this atcha:
Not that this is a bad thing, but Lorelei's sound has kinda changed.
I saw em' play a month ago, and they kinda sounded like Moonshake!
I never liked their previous shoegazin' attempts, so I never bought their
records or cds. However, I'm real curious to hear the new one.
Maybe it won't be a departure, but I thought I'd warn ya that it might be!
Let's hope that it is.....

I was just wondering--
who out there thinks the earliest lush stuff is the best stuff out there?
the first thing i ever heard was "Thoughtforms" off of Scar and i was
immediately entranced...nothing else can be better. Scar is eternally
going to be memorable in that sense...i do adore Mad Love as well, but
it's kind of like Mad Love has make-up on to be pretty, but Scar is
just naturally beautiful...
For Love ep actually ranks up with these eps too, in my book.

ok, mojave3 were on the radio last night doing acoustic things. for this
session the band were rachel, neil and ian (all ex-slowdive) with poppy
on the piano.
three tracks:
where is the love
candle song
oh, sister (bob dylan cover)
(they also came back and jammed with radcliffe and his sidekick, the boy
lard on a comedy version of another 'rod' dylan tune, 'layby lady,
layby')
all were superb, pitched around the palace / tindersticks / mazzy star /
red house painters kind of thing but with both rachel and neil singing
and otherwise very bare.
couple of things from the talking between numbers:
the band said the name change was largely the result of fancying a change
after being "dumped by creation, unceremoniously".
neil now lives in cornwall, largely for the surfing.
first date as mojave3 will be in mexico on november 2nd followed by a
london date around november the 20th, nothing else planned.

I've seen Tim Friese-Green listed as a producer for several groups/CDs
although I don't know that I've seen him listed on anything within the

Hi everyone,
I just want to share some news and a wonderful experience concerning the
cocteau twins. News first for people not interested in the fan fantasy
story. I am sure many of you have noticed that i haven't been updating the
site as i should be. But I am currently working with the cocteau twins to
redesign the entire site with more pictures, sound clips (fruitopa ad!),
movie clips and etc. With a very slow internet connection in the office, I
have doing everything off line. So, we are hoping to release the new web
site in conjunction with a new domain new (hopefully www.cocteau.com). Once
we move over capitol record's server, i will have a better idea when the
release date will be. Of course, it will be before the release of the new lp
(which is quite wonderful by the way and no where near in the vien of the
twinlights and otherness ep - to be released on oct 23 in uk). As for the
cu-seeme internet broadcast, the date for that is still unavailable because
the record label is a little slow. Since a live internet chat session isn't
too difficult to set up, we are onlt waiting for Wired magazine to
coordinate a publicity push with us. By working with Wired, we are hoping to
get a nice article in there near the release date of the new album. Finally,
the twins did receive a copy of Bryan and Carolyn Spindell's fanzine
"sunburst and snowblind" and is discussing plans to fully support a fanclub.
I am not sure how many people have seen the zine, but the twins would love
some feedback concerning the quality of a fanzine if they are to shell out
some monies for the club. My own impression, is that the fanzine should
concentrate on the quality side of the zine more than the quantity of
materials about the cocteaus. Since the web site exists for reference
information and latest news, the zine would be a better complement if it is
well done (something people would be proud to show of). Well, that's just my
personal take but the twins are interested in what other fans think.
It's rather unfortunate that the people from the US couldn't see the live
acoustic session on tv. From the twins perspective, it was one of their best
live television performance. From a fan perspective it was simply magical to
see them rehearse and perform in the context of live television. Although
Liz was nervous as hell, she really shined last night. I was afraid she was
going to blech during the performance because she had been drinking before
the gig! When they first made their entrance into the live set, Simon was
quite unaware that his gestures were broadcasted live! Anyway, i am still
rather dumbfounded by my luck to be working with the twins and lack of sleep
that i can't think clearly right now.
So, before i sign off, I just wanted to add another tidbit of news. The
twins are trying to get their promotional videos made into "cinema format"
film, so that it can be shown at film festivals, etc. Since it is such an
exceptionally beautiful video, they really do believe it should made
available to a wider audience. So, if you know of any one that can help,
please email me or the twins! thanks.
cheers

Hello
I can't believe nobody has done this yet...
Just heard "Ask Me Tomorrow".
Coming after the shatteringly brilliant "Pygmalion", it's one of the most
disappointing things I've ever come across. Then again, I'm not into the
weepy folk n' strings thing - especially not when Slowdive proved themselves
capable of so much more. Okay, there's more Rachel here - which is a GOOD
thing. But who cares, when the music is so uninspiring?!
This, folks, is truly slumming...
Well, if anyone wants it, I'll put it up on the block:
MOJAVE (no "3" - must be a collectors' item...) - ASK ME TOMORROW
(all orange, with titles printed on front, and 4AD logo... #8533...4AD US
address)
Side One:Love Songs on the Radio(5:47) - Sarah (3:44) - Tomorrow's Taken
Side Two:You're Beautiful(3:04) - Where is the Love(4:35) - After All(3:30) -
E-mail me privately - no need to clutter up the list.
Thanks

MTV (US) has played Cocteau Twins before, especially when it's around
the release of a new album. In fact, Robin appeared on MTV's 120 Minutes
as a guest with Lewis Largent (idiot extraordinaire) when Four-Calendar
Cafe was released. What a piss-poor interviewer he is...Robin was
NOTICEABLY _NOT_ into it and more than a little nervous, and Largent's
stupid questions and comments didn't help. The whole thing was basically
a disaster, with Robin laying on more than a little attitude (which I'm
not entirely sure that Mr Largent noticed). SO, in light of that un-
pleasant experience, I dunno if MTV (US) would have them on again as
guests, but I wouldn't doubt they'd play their videos every now and
then. I'm still wondering whether MTV will play the new video for
"Rilkean Heart"/"Half-Gifts". Clocking in at just under 10 minutes, they
may not want to overwhelm all their Toadies/Presidents of the USA/Rancid/
Pearl Jam/Hole fans by occupying that much air time with something just
a _LITTLE_ different and possibly more substantial. That's just my
very biased opinion.

You clearly were not forced (as I was) to sit through "Batman Forever". :)
I have to say that I personally am willing to forgive
less-than-professional acting in a film that dares to take chances and
show me things I wouldn't get in a market-researched major release. I
speak of "Go Fish" and "Clerks", particularly...
are still pretty much together, but without Seana ... do they have a
similar sound? When's a new album going to be out?

What, again???
The "good times" virus thing is a hoax. It's been floating around for at
least two years. I thought everyone in the world had already seen it and
it had died a deserving death, but I guess not :(
(It's impossible for e-mail to run any code on your machine, unless you
download an enclosed application and run it. The only exception is if you
have a direct account on a Unix machine and the system configuration has
not closed the various well-known sendmail security holes.)
like "All Good Things" and "I Feel Nothing At All", and it's still pretty
noisy. What exactly did people find to dislike about it?

Well, I'd really like to get one of these, but I have no idea where they

Francisco/Bay area where I could pick one up when they come out?

This is a VERY VERY VERY old hoax. Anyway, as I'm sure most people will realise

Gretings Hugh, Steve, list members......
I was deeply elated and somewhat shocked to read info on one of my fav b
bands, for I have found it so very difficult to obtain info on them.
The last album I have is "San Artorium", and I just ordered
"Lovehatefear" from CD Europe, because I have never seen it before.
What label is this album on??? I also have From a Scream to a Whisper
and Godhead, both put out on Nightshift, but heard, after trying to
call them in Scotland, that they had closed. Where is Anoise Annoys?
What else is on this label????
My record shopping always includes a search for Lowlife. I went up
to Toronto in August and found From a Scream to a Whisper on vinyl,
but no material past 1991, when San Artorium was put out.
Sincerest regards..........................

The store most likely to have the calendar would be Mod Lang in Berkeley,
one of the thislistiest record stores in the world. Yum. Even if they
don't have it you're sure to find enough other cool stuff to make your
trip worthwhile. I don't know the address, but check the phone book.
Rough Trade or Reckless in SF (on Haight) might also carry it; I bought
the 1990 poster set at Rough Trade.
