Yipes! I've been following the Elysium tour here on the mailing list for
days, watching it build momentum toward its finale in LA on 11/6, and now
tickets are on sale in LA for Electrafixion/Echobelly on the same night!
What would *you* do? Help!

For anyone interested, I recently got an e-mail from the web master over at
the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco (California) saying that
they are trying to put together a show with RHP at the Noe Valley Ministry
(S.F.) sometime in November. I, for one, would LOVE to see them
again...anyone, anyone, anyone?

Ahmn, uhm. The tapes are sitting at a couple of people, and I just
haven't gotten my shit together. I was supposed to send out the
address lists to them, like, a year ago. Then life sort of happened.
I might still do it, though.

Wow, I never thought I'd catch you on a mistake! :)
"Who Says So" is NOT a compilation of "H" and "VA" but is
a separate album with 8 songs unavailable anywhere else
(except if you count the "Time Clock Turn Back" cassette,
[but who even HAS this?] -- some of Who Says So is on there)
> 5. "Extractions" is available on CD and may be available on vinyl.
Indeed it's available on both, and is still in print at least on CD.
I see it all the time. I've seen the vinyl version at least twice with
a flawed sleeve where the color plates were not lined up well-- all the
text appears as multiple images, sort of giving it a hyper-v23 look. I
don't have any idea how many copies of this flawed sleeve "escaped".
Word from Arizona about a possible Dif Juz / IPR connection hasn't
changed very much. Something MAY happen eventually, but at this point
plans are still very preliminary.

Well, I usually consider "deeply flawed" a fault, but perhaps that's a
personal bias. :) I do think Nadja had a lot of problems, mostly in tone,
dialogue, character development, and umm, well, that's enough, isn't it?
It was beautifully shot - I'll give it that. It had a dreamy otherworldly
feel, heightened by the use of black & white, and also to some degree by the
lack of cohesion. The tone problem was the worst, I think - it never knew when
to take itself seriously as a goth/vampire flick, or to be irreverent NY
hipsters. The latter got seriously grating, especially with the too-cute line
"I'm dying...... for a cigarette." Elina Lowensohn is hindered as an actress
by her Romanian accent - either it fits her character or it doesn't, and she
can never really move beyond the "mysterious, Romanian" character. It worked
in her favor in Nadja, but none of the other characters besides the wacky
vampire-hunting uncle are developed at all, and when they are desperate to
save Lucy from Nadja's clutches, you have to wonder why they care. I certainly
didn't.
Ah well, the soundtrack was good too. Out soon on Matador perhaps?

These same folks are playing at the the Galaxay in Santa Ana on the 4th.
That is about 40 miles form LA. That is not necessarily what I would do,

Well about 10 days ago, Mark was on KCRW (in LA) and he said the reason
he bagged 4ad was because they wanted to rework their upcoming release.
He did not have one good thing to say about Ivo. I guess he wanted to
remove guitar parts of a 7 minute song to make it about 4 min. or so.
This did not sit well with Mark. Anyway he played some new material was
played from a DAT. One song stood out as being real good. The title had
somthing to do with paper. Mark also said they are looking for a label. I
would have taped the whole thing but I was at work. That is all I know.

If anyone is in Edinburgh, Hogs Head has had copies of this for around

bought the other one).

This can't be right! I have to admit that I haven't listened to "Who Says
So" for years, but I'm as certain as I can be that it doesn't overlap with
"Huremics". I don't think it overlaps with "Vibrating Air" either, but
I've virtually never listened to that on "Out of the Trees", so I could be
wrong.

Well, the tour actually ends with the San Francisco show this
Saturday. The LA show on 11/6 is just their next show afterward,
and they usually do play a fair amount around here, so if you
REALLY want to see E&E...

It never struck me as creepy. Is it murky rather than steamy? Is it a hot
spring in Sweden perhaps (are there hot springs in Sweden?)? For some
reason, it always put me in mind of Scandinavia and sex. However, I'm
pretty sure this says more about me that the photo. As for it being Liz in
the photo, I doubt it.

I listened to a CT live tape (OK it was a bootleg). It was an audience
recording fom Brixton in 1994. Out of 10 I'd give a 4 for recording quality.
In between 2 or 3 songs there's some annoying guy who keeps shouting out
...
In a London accent, slightly inebriated:
'Oi Liz...
Liz frazier, Liz, Liz Frazier
Can I have your autograph.
Can you sign the back of my ticket.
Liz, Liz Frazier'..... Fade into song.
Its quite a funny tape.
Also, coz the vocals are louder than everything else Liz's improvisations
of the songs had my girlfriend and I in stitches. At times it sounds as if
someone is tickling or pinching her . Like the way on Garlands and Sunburst
there's a lit warble at the end of each line, here there's a warble
after each word. At first I thought it was the tape but a closer listen
reveals it isn't.
Maybe liz could write the dialogue for the Klingons in Star Trek.

I went to see belly in Pittsburgh Saturday night. They played
slow and sloppy at first. Catherine Wheel bailed at the last minute.
They played a good mix of old and new stuff including some
different sounding guitar (a wah-monica sound). Torwards the end they
sounded tighter and they played an unreleased song called Lilith
which was really nice (and very drum heavy).
The biggest surprise for me was the crowd. Everyone on the floor
were moshing/slamming and some were crowd surfing. They even moshed
to the ballads! I was in the balcony looking down at all these
lemmings busting into each other during a soft sounding ballad!
Songs which I can remember being played:
Dusted
Slow Dog
Feed the Tree
Gepetto
Silverfish
Red
Judas my Heart
Super Connected
Lilith
about four songs that don't appear on Star or King (singles)
they played for about an hour
the band seemed out of it but put on an enjoyable show.

Um...Bob Stanley used to be a music journalist. He was the one who reviewed
the Stone Roses' first album in the NME (or was it MM?). He still writes
stuff occasionally.
>if i
>remember right, they have multiple singers, but that's all i really know.
Well, they went through a few before settling on Sarah Cracknell, and even
after that they still brought in others such as Q-Tee and Shara Nelson once
in a while. Sarah has supposedly left the band but only temporarily (or
something). The singles comp "You Need A Mess of Help To Stand Alone" (Beach
Boys reference) contains pretty much every singer they've used (though at
least one has never recorded with them) and has some tracks that are
otherwise hard to find.

There are some interesting excursions into folk and even flamenco, but most
of it is still dance-based. Oh, and the US version has their xmas song with
the guy from the Charlatans that ruins everything.

Being on the Net as we are, it can be easy to forget that irony and
sarcasm actually predate the invention of the smiley. Sometimes you just
have to roll up your sleeves and go with your intuition to tell whether
someone is being serious or not. Things like "My paper-clip holder magnet
is almost useless now" and I'm not sure how, but there's dried vermicelli
stuck to my ceiling" might have tipped you off. Extra credit to any CS
people noticing that "n-th complexity binary loop" and "37th-complexity
finite three-way loop" are gibberish.
Honestly, I think smileys serve a useful function, but it drives me crazy
the way people come to rely on them as crutches... They've become the
laugh-track of online communication.

Sorry if I sound cranky but to call this "Legacy of the Smiths" as if they
originated the practice is... err, well it really upsets me. (-8 Motown
used to do that all the time: "My World Is Empty Without You Babe", "Same
Old Song" etc. Turley Richards covered "My World Is Empty Without You
Babe" at the appropriate tempo for the words and the difference is amazing.
Of course, Turley didn't sell so that's not an easy comparison for people
to make. So a more accessible comparison is "Help" by the Beatles. A nice
jaunty ditty that doesn't sound like a sad song at all. Compare to the
version on _Shades Of Deep Purple_ where it seems a wonder the singer makes
it through alive without slashing both wrists. And I'm sure there are all
sorts of old folk songs with jaunty music and a really depressing
storyline. It did not start with the Smiths.
