You have a jewel case Twinlights?! Fontana or Capital? Has anyone
seen a copy of Otherness on Capital. They had Fontana copies at
Waterloo, but I bought the last two.
Ciao!
P.S. My first impression of Otherness is "this is seefeel". I like
seefeel, but had been hoping for more Cocteau Twins. I have only
checked it out briefly at the store and heard the first two tracks at
home.

[Kinda reminds me of the "I knew Jack Kennedy..." bit from a couple of
Presidential races ago, but I digress even before I start]
The club in which RHP played in Houston was a dive of epic proportions with a
history of bad sound that goes as far back as the early eighties. And Mark
wasn't necessarily pissed off, rather he seemed more apologetic. Typical
between-song exchange:
crying out loud!"
Um, you get the idea. (A vaguely similar series of exchanges went on at the
unplugged solo show in Ann Arbor near two years later, but that's a whole
different story.)
And I wouldn't necessarily observe that the man has a hall-filler of an ego.
Rather, he seems quite dedicated, if not head-over-heels obsessed with his
music, and God help any hapless soul that gets in the way between Mark K. and
his almighty Muse. Really. I've known a few focussed individuals who are
not the least ego-ridden, but more driven to the point of steamrollering
everything in his or her path. Mr. Kozelek may easily qualify as one of
those folks.

Codeine seems to be doing quite well on SubPop. And as far as Caroline are
concerned, they are ultimately funded by Virgin who is arguably far removed
from grass roots indie-dumb [sic]. And as far as other "worthwhile" bands on
Caroline go... I draw a blank. There's the Dust Brothers album which kicks
as much righteous butt as anything has a right to, but they're on
Astralwerks... which does have a Caroline connection which again leads to...
oh, never mind.

Apparently some weird rule imposed by the folks who do the UK Top 40 Charts.
Apparently anything that more than 4 songs is considered a mini-album or
something to that effect and doesn't get to compete in the singles category.
Weird rule, as I said.

Neither do I (in fact I'm tone deaf) but anyone can scream, and find a

today they're getting huge (and they do an awsome live show) It can be done

They also threw in "Saltarello" in its entirety in one of the sequences as
well.
Okay, so some of us pay a bit too much attention to details, but it was an
entertaining program nonetheless.
Also, on The Learning Channel last week, there was a two-hour documentary on
Hitler and Stalin. Amongst the incidental music were a couple of DCD tracks
- "The Host of Seraphim" and some other song whose title escapes me at the
moment. One was for Lenin's funeral, and the other was for Stalin's,
methinks.

>Distributed by and bought out by are 2 very different things....
On a particular level of discussion, yes. Somewhat like the difference
between heavy petting and outright snogging, I suppose. There are those who
seem to firmly believe in guilt by association, and by that token, there are
those who decry the "downfall" of the likes of SubPop, Matador, AmRep,
Creation, TooPure, Caroline, etc., whose funding tributaries ultimately lead
to Time Warner, Sony, or some other Ogre with a Suit. Regardless, there is
an implied influence in a manufacturing/distribution relationship, as often
is the case, the larger entity does have an investment or an interest which
it seeks to at least protect, if not cash in on at a later time. While the
operative acronym remains TINSTAFL, Corporate Rock can buy you a damn fine
lunch.
[And on a complete aside here, what does Gavin know about indies anyway? My
God, they are about as an integral part of the Massive Music Machinery of The
Man as Sony, Time Warner, Matsushita, RIAA, BMI, ASCAP, etc.]
However, before we wander down the spiral of "the morality of Corporate hand
jobs," perhaps there should be that token truism that "it's the music,
maaaaaaan, not who's footing the bill." Hmmm. Is that kinda like saying one
should appreciate the work of Werner Von Braun whilst conveniently ignoring
who was funding his career up until 1945?

Hi everyone...I don't usually respond to what's been going on in this list,
as I have no clue how to be goth or even what projekt is (right...now
no one is listening to me) but this crazy corporate rock distribution
debate is just a little too silly. We are talking about a world where
everyone's favorite alternband Nirvana went on the cover of everyone's
favorite corporate whore magazine Rolling Stone with one infamous t-shirt;
in a world where such contradictions are blithely allowed to happen, who
are we, mindless consumer peons that we are, to criticize the likes of
the great, lamented Kurt/Kurdt/Curt Kobain for selling out? More to the
point, what does it matter who you buy your records from? In a strict
Marxist sense, any material resources you surrender to those willing to
take it is an expoitation of sorts; in a perfect world, we'd all sit
around in the workers' paradise while Lisa Germano and DCD surrounded
us with free ambience. But it just ain't so, and we know it, so we all
fork up the bucks.
Ah. At this point, my roommate from two years ago says "but Rob, all
the great bands/labels signed to corporate labels and sold out." Yeah,
and Marxist theory works. Half the time. For every great band/label
that has whored themselves and gotten the shaft, there's a great band/
label that's gotten out ahead (well, as ahead as you can ever get in
the Corporate game). Look at Sub Pop/Nirvana; the Replacements and Twin
/Tone. Would you rather listen to Tim or Stink, In Utero or Bleach?
I know, I know, these are obvious examples (and none of them are on
the 4AD label anyway) but I'm tired of this debate and I'm just tired.
If 4AD has to be distributed in America by corporate dollars, and that's
the only way I can get my LG and DCD then I'll probably do it, corporate
swine that I am.
I don't mean to come down on anyone, and I'm sorry if I'm harsh, but
what's the point of this ISH if we can't play chicken with it once in
a while. (at some point, these road metaphors are going to get old.)
Right. I'm gonna and sit in my closet and get some angst going.

Oh, Really. CT have left 4ad . When? I WAS wondering why there weren't
any 4ad logos or cat no.s on their recent CDs.
Sorry. To clarify the statement.
'Otherness = Seefeel minus thought'
I was meaning that the new ep by the Cocteau Twins who aren't on 4ad
anymore (well not for a couple of years in fact) sounds to me like Seefeel (
although I'm no expert on Seefeel). Although, from what I've heard of
Seefeel they are more imaginative than this current CT offering.
OBTW - I know Seefeel aren't on 4ad.
Next time I'll make little sub-headings so that you will be able to
follow my messages.
As for artwork vs music.
The last 3 purchases I have made were Scheer, The Amps and Air Miami. Do
I really need to justify whether the artwork or music is better?
But there again this is my own opinion and people are bound to disagree.

Not quite as weird as it might seem. The UK charts are far more
volatile than the US ones, and they are quite susceptible to marketing
schemes. A few years ago it was common for groups to issue up to a
dozen or so formats of each single, with one different track on each,
so fans who wanted to collect everything ended up paying huge amounts
of money, and the singles went into the charts at positions which
didn't really reflect their popularity (since many people would have
bought half a dozen formats in the first week). The House of Love and
James were two of the biggest culprits, along with people like Bros and
Frankie Goes to Hollywood. So the rules were changed so that only four
formats were allowed for a single to be included in the charts (it's
down to three now). That explains the infamous double-CD single
thing. Length and track number limits are for similar reasons -
there's no reason why bands can't exceed the limits, but they won't get
included in the charts. I doubt if this was ever a possibility for
Scheer. Sebadoh put out a ten-track single a while ago, and Autechre's
latest EP is too long for the charts, but what do they care?
On a 4AD note, Scheer are interviewed in today's NME, claim AC/DC as an
influence (only half-jokingly), and say that the album will be heavier
than the EP. Gulp.

Well, obviously, it beats hearing C. Love, G. Day, the Presidents of the

Someone said:
> Caroline (no major label/distrubution affiliation to my knowledge)
Caroline is pretty corporate. A big arm of Virgin who sometimes uses them as
a farm label at times (i.e. Smashing Pumpkins).
Matador is right up there as well. Matador may try to come off as being
indier than thou, but it's "fuck all" attitude is quite feigned.
People may start labels because they love music, but they would hardly keep
putting things out if they weren't making any money.
Anyway, I think it was Duke Ellington that said: "if it sounds good, it is
good." This statement has been most recently paraphrased by Beavis and
Butthead as to what kind of music they like: "...music that doesn't suck."
My point, 4AD (despite Scheer) are just as inventive today as they have ever
been and just as "corporate" today as they've ever been (i.e. limited
editions, strong visual corporate identity; the only thing ever "indie" about
them was and is they're approach to signing bands).
Love,

Gerrard's the "Mirror Pool" and not just for the sake of being different from

Okay, I guess my rant on Mark was a bit much. I don't question his
sincerity and commitment. The It was one of
those late-night, drunken posts.

I heard it from the KTRU guru Andy's (the one who graduated) friends
(Tina). I should have been there if I wanted to comment on it. I was
really pissed about missing it. I found out about it by reading a real
shitty review in the Houston Press a week later. Now, the band as we
knew it is no more, they have no label, and they probably won't come to TX
again. And I still haven't seen them.
Yes, I know I am an annoying whiner.

Yeah, my rant on Mark was a bit much. I don't question his sincerity or
committment. In many matters though, the difference between being an
egoist (like H.R. in Ayn Rand) and being ego-ridden are very
slight. I think the differences are the substance and motivation, not the
behavior commonly observed by others (i.e. if misunderstood he comes off
as an arsehole). Mark definitely belongs to the H.R.
egoist/steamrolling camp. This makes for great music, but I think it is
unhealthy for Mark

this shit is stupid! seriously, would a band sound any different if it

when arguements like these start, it is really pointless! good music is
good music, and whether they are "gothic" or not is really not worth
anyones time. unless, of course you (not personally directed at anyone)
are a scenester and need to have music labeled so you buy only "gothic"
CDs and shun the rest!

My background is in Economics. The issue as a consumer is to maximize my
pleasure for the least amount of bucks. I don't know if you noticed, but
when 4AD finally got together with those "Corporate" entities, prices for
domestically back catalog CDs were lower in price, i.e., Cocteau Twins.
I think imports are the biggest rip-off in the record industry. Its bad
enough that new CDs cost 12.98 and up, but to add tariff costs to CDs
that could easily be made domestic makes me fume.
Thoughts for the day.

I've read everyone slagging off Scheer and thought I'd write in to say that
I actually quite like Schism. Admittedly it is not one of the 4AD all time
greats, but You Said and Take You Anywhere (minus the pretentious shite
tagged on annoyingly at the end) are pretty good - I like the form of the
guitar on them, if nothing else...
Sorry Phil, from what I've heard from them the Amps are pish (and I like
milk). I'm almost undoubtedly in a minority here, but I didn't care much
for the Pixies either. Prefered the Breeders by a mile, and since Black
Francis/Frank Black's stuff was cack too, I assumed it was just down to
that fat git... Not so sure now. Horrible noise.
Me, I prefer the Michael Brook/TMC/Heidi Berry/RHP(minus wailing)/DCD kind
of 4AD style (ie. melodic) but own just about all types. The Old School?
That's what I reckon this "End of 4AD" debate stems from. Like someone
put faith in them. You could then always tell whether a group was verging
towards Colourboxness or RHPness by the sleeve design. Now..?
Oh, and I lurve the Lisa G album (we just weren't meant to get on Phil) but
a couple of padding tracks in there meethinks (The Rite, Ajhon, etc.).
Sanvean is much better live - infact Toward the Within is one sexy mf.
Narrowly beaten to the best ever album by Filigree. But why that awful
version of Cantara when it sounds like Lisa's in prolongued labour? - that
is THE only downpoint of the album.
No-one answered to my question about the Sylvian tour. Are you all Goths?
Does anyone know if Mr Brook is part of the band for this tour too? God,
his solo stint/warmup-act in Glasgow was unreal.
Finally I'll say LEAVE IVO ALONE. He's as close to a God as anyone I can
think of (tied with VO).
Stay superconnected.

Mate, don't bother with Mouth by Mouth... I played it and thought _crap_ .
But since I thought the same about, amongst other things, both _Star_ and
_King_ which are now almost resident in my six-play I thought _ah, give it
another chance_. Worse still. And again..._euchhhhh. It can't even be
written off as being pretentious - really just Warren giving himself a
five-knuckle-shuffle. And how I loved them! Livonia (with perhaps one of
the best sleeves ever?) was sheer joy - love it (definately get it). Agreed
_Home is.._ not bad at all, but the best track gets cut half-way through. I
bought the offending _Mouth_ from a guy on the street in New York for the
large sum of $4 (he was flogging his (or some other unlucky bastard's) CD
collection - seemed to need the money. I'm glad I didn't pay any more for
it - he obviously thought it was only worth =A33 too...
Bought the Mojave 3 disk yesterday since people here had raved about it so
much and having heard the track on FTWW and another on Radio 1. Not bad -
think it will grow on me... (Going to slag the Amps again) I think if I
bought any of the Amps stuff it would just grate on me.

I don't know about the Houston place, but I saw the RHPs at the Arches in
Glasgow. Our Heidi played first and was great and the sound was okay. On
come the Painters and crank up the volume (so that the wailing was even
worse no doubt) and after the first song the sound was unbearabley bad.
Mark got very pissed off with the sound guys. Perhaps this happens at all
their gigs? They played a half accoustic, half PA set - by that I mean it
would be unamplified one minute then not, then it would again, then not. It
was BAD. They got it sorted about four songs before the end - just in time
for an extra long wail...
On Marks ego.. He seemed a fairly decent bloke, both off stage and on - he
talked to about eight of us and signed autographs afterwards. he seemed
nice. This one girl asked him what the line _stop eating cabbage and
talk.._ (or however it goes) meant and at first he didn't want to say, said
it was personal. Then took back the piece of paper he had just signed for
her and wrote a long note on what it meant and winked at her and said that
he hoped that would explain. No she didn't show me - I couldn't remember
the line at the time (looked it up after) so I wasn't interested. He also
basically told the bouncer to get lost (in the nicest possible way) when he
started trying to pull the 8 of us outside. So he's okay by me.
But I can understand if Ivo asked him to cut all that wailing. No, sorry it
bugs me. I love to listen to _Blindfold_ when trying to get to sleep, but
all that excesive going on at the end just spoils it for me. I think a
couple on Ocean Beach turned me off the album coz the started to grate with
the screaching, I haven't played it for too long now...
Andie
Ps. Sad to see them leave the roost though. It surprises me for two
get a contract with anyone and that he liked the 4AD attitude; and 2. I
read ages ago that some band (CTwins?) liked 4AD because they were not
pushed into recording/making records - they could do it as often or
infrequently as they liked, with no restrictions on what they could or
couldn't release (basically Ivo was cool). I don't believe he will have
changed that radically. If that last reason is true perhaps the Sundays do
belong on 4AD they take so long to get round to recording... CLAIM-TO-FAME

No, no, no. And no. I think that everyone is entitled to their own opinion
about band, so I respect yours, but I can't say I agree at all. In fact, I
think that MbM is by far their best album. They did a lot of things on it
that I wish they'd done on previous albums - it seemed to have a broader
range of styles. My favorite songs of theirs are off that album, like "Ear"
and "In Every Ford" and, well, Hell, all of them really. And _never_ in my
life will I forget December 23, 1888.

pretty durn good. I've only gotten halfway through it, but it seems to
be a lot of fun. I don't know how quick peole were to judge, but if it

January 12 1996 London Records are releasing a double-CD of Joy Division
remixes! The first disc is a compilation spanning the carreer of JD, while
the second disc is a special limited maxi-CD of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'.
The set is titled 'The Rest Of Joy Division'.
This is really sick of course but then, the opening scenes of 'Apocalypse
Now' (of which the soundtrack is/was one of Joy Division/New Order's
favourite records) are also totally sick, while at the same time they have
GRANDEUR!! 'The Rest Of Joy Division' must have the same kind of grandeur: I
love the smell of burning CD's in the morning. What about...
'She's Lost Control' remixed by Francois Kevorkian
'Sister Ray' remixed by Beth B.
'Transmission' remixed by Disco Inferno
'Atmosphere' remixed by Fluke
'Dead Souls' remixed by Trent Reznor & Coil !!!!
'Decades' remixed by Alan Wilder
'The Eternal' remixed by Portishead and William Orbit
'They Walked In Line' remixed by Armand Van Helden
'Ceremony' re-done and re-sung by Arthur Baker
'Love Will Tear Us Apart' remixed/redone by Pet Shop Boys, KMFDM,
Tricky/Bjork, John Marsh and... New Order!!
So we are back to the start and it seems to me that everything is falling
into place now. The whole (pop) music culture 1980-2000...

First off, I apologize for continuing this thread on the list.
I would have sent this directly to robert, but he didn't have
his address in the body of his message, and my crippled mailer
has been hiding the headers from me (actually I think it may
be the fault of our MIS dept.)
robert said:
> this shit is stupid!
OK, I could take this a couple ways.
1) either my arguments (which robert quoted) are both shit and stupid
(and by implication I am being called stupid - if I really wanted to
assume the worst)
2) the whole argument is stupid shit.
I'll assume that robert did not intend to attack me directly, and go
with option 2), which still leaves open the question of why did he
bother posting at all.
I'm going to try to explain what I wrote, and then I will address
robert's points. I am also going to try to keep this civil and rational.
I said that projekt is a goth label. What I meant is that they label
themselves gothic. That is all I said, and all I meant. I never said
that all the music they carry is necessarily "gothic". Look at their
adds and their promo materials. If they want to call themselves goth,
then so what.
> seriously, would a band sound any different if it
> was or wasn't thrown into some stupid cat.
I don't recall ever having said this. And the answer is obviously no.
If someone calls a band by any label, that does not change the way the
band sounds. However I do not accept the idea that music cannot be
labelled. There are thousands of bands out there who label themselves
in various ways: classical, jazz, blues, folk, rock, industrial,
experimental, etc. And people everywhere label music. I'm not going
to argue whether that is right or wrong, but it's still a fact of life.
Why? Because that's the way people organize information. If it weren't
for the ability of our brains to categorize, then we would never be
able to deal with all the information that floods in.
Just because someone catagorizes a band, or a piece of music, that does
not imply that they only listen to that type of music, nor does it imply
that that band must always make that kind of music.
I find it ironic that so many bands that go on about how they don't
want to be labelled are in fact frequently the easiest to categorize.
On a side note, there is a peculiar intensity with which a large
number of people into "new music" attack the idea of categories, yet
people into jazz, blues, etc. never get upset about it.
> good music is good music
I agree, and I don't remember having said anything that implied this
was not the case.
> unless, of course you (not personally directed at anyone)
It is difficult to accept that this was not personally directed at me,
since it was in direct response to what I wrote, but I'll take what
you say at face value.
> are a scenester and need to have music labeled so you buy only "gothic"
> CDs and shun the rest!
I certainly don't think I said or implied this. I have a substantial
music collection and it covers a lot of territory, not just gothic.
I hope that I haven't irritated too many more people. If anyone wants to
discuss this, or flame me, call me stupid, whatever, mail me at
[email protected]
unless you want to publicly humilate me, in which case go ahead and
send it to the list. I certainly can't stop you.
Next time I'll sprinkle smiley throughout my post so that it has a
better chance ofbeing properly interpreted by those with no sense of humor.
later on,

Well...laws or not, albums and singles that are not supposed to be
exported from Europe get over here to America ALL THE TIME. Of course,
its never anything that I can't find already, it has to be stuff that's
either readily available or stuff that will be soon.

It's an odd group of songs... (funnily enough, the first few times through
Home Is In Your Head I was convinced it was just Warren getting himself off!
I no longer think that) There are a couple tracks which aren't up to
standards. I think you could lift some of the songs taken together would make
a stellar recording. They are: In every ford, Lord make me a channel of your
peace, Where knock is open wide, sort of..., sick, blue moon, lemon ocean, the
dirt eaters, baby fish mouth, drink dress & ink. Hmm. Two particularly great
tracks are "Sort of... sick" (actually 2) and "The Dirt Eaters." I also like
"library girl" (AVAM).

okay, so in the interest of art, i forgive you. I was actually worried
because there was this guy who came up to me, with reddish brown hair
but not quit 6 ft and he was SCAREY...anyhow he wouldn't tell me his
name. so, needless to say, freak out...
Tell me about the concert, por
>favor. How were Catherine Wheel?
absolutley incredible awesome, still can't get it out of my mind.
played for 1 hour and a half. i sent a song listing to the cw list, if
yer interested i'll recreate for you. They blew belly off the stage,
well actually i'm not much of a belly fan. I really only enjoy them
live, which is far more entertaining than the flatly rpoduced star,
king was better. Although kind did not receive much aclaim. enough
BELLY. the usual reserved minneapolis crowd kept their distance,
fools. and towards the end of the show, finally warmed up. bruce also
played the last song of the show on belly's time, DUSTED. he was
screaming the screamer part of the lyrics, which led the crowd to
believe that bruce and tanya were doing the nasty in the greyhound bunk
beds.
Did they play "Black Metallic"? That's
>my fave of theirs. Yep and it was over 1o minutes long, with a really
low-fi instrumental part, in fact people thought the song was over
with.
What comps did you score?
absolutely, friggin' nothing, pissed me rught off. actaully at the
figdish show, they opened for letters to cleo, they had about 3 bundles
of comps to 1 bundle of paid. When that happens with all ages shows
but the little rug rats don't shell out the bucks for the drinkies.
What are your next 1st

I have the bjork / goldie show to promote. In fact if yer over by Let
it Be anytime soon, I did the disply case outside. I am dealing with a
meet and greet for both artists and then putting up stuff in First Ave
for the show. so i will be very very busy and freaked out. Who knows
what all i'll be doing, maybe even taking them around on tours. who
knows? so, i'll be at my usual table, all along the railing at the
side bar.
there it is...

I have nothing but good things to say about Arcana; I ordered the Rimy River
thingie from them back when the AVAM was going on; and they went the extra
yard and had Vaughn, Chris and Nigel sign it before they sent it. (well..three
people signed it; i don't remember if it was those three names metioned; I
know Vaughn and Chris are two of them...)
..and why isn't St. Etienne a 4ad artist? Those samples they use fit right in
with Colourbox. I really REALLY like "so tough". Much better than "Fox Base
Alpha"; although I do LOVE the line:
"where am i from? I'm from the united states of KISS MY ASS!"
Anybody know where that line is from?
Also, did the Ecstacy of St. Theresa "free-d" thing come out ONLY on LP? Is
there not a CD of it out? How the heck can I find it?
Oh, one more thing; I just found the original soundtrack to "once upon a time
in america" (french import) instead of hearing snatches of it off of various
Morriconne compilations I have and I have to say it is one INCREDIBLE
soundtrack. Ahhhhh...Ennio rules! (so does Sergio Leone)

Well I was flipping through the channels the other night and I heard
"Sugar Hiccup" on one of those really bad entertainment shows. It was
feature on Halloween. I guess the Cocteau Twins are scary or something.

They broke up about five years ago, more or less. Lawrence's
post-Felt band, Denim, has apparently broken up too. Anyone know
what Maurice Deebank's been up to since Inner Thought Zone?

I love Felt, but I guess it is an acquired taste. Most people that I've
ever let listen to them, don't quite connect with it. I think Maurice
Deebank's guitar in the first half of Felt's history is extremely poignant.
It took me longer to warm up to Martin Duffy's keyboards for the later Felt
recordings.
Just curious, what are people's opinions of the new Cocteau Twins ep
"Twinlights"? (Forgive me if this has already been discussed.) I think it
is great. I was wondering if they would do two 4-trackers this year ('95)
like they did in '85.
