Well, Tim Buckley, Roy Harper... they're both 70's folk singers with one
syllable first names and two syllable last names, etc., etc....
As for the Apartments, they have a

I've seen the new release, but I was wondering specifically about the
release that "Mr. Somewhere" was on. Any ideas?

Umm.. what happened to any of the re-releases on American?! Stereolab's Peng
is sheer brilliance, Minxus' Pabulum maybe not.. but they've all gone missing,
regardless. "L'" was definitely reissued. I have seen it. But you wouldn't
know it from all the promotion it got. Mouse on Mars, anyone?

I'm been searching for for the following stuff (who hasn't, right?) for
awhile and haven't seen or heard a peep about it for a long time (again, no
big surprise), and was wondering if anyone had one, or an extra they were
willing to sell or trade. I can offer a couple sealed "AVAM"'s, a few Mai
Pen Rai's, a "NO BALLS", and I also have a few "Joe Friday"'s I'm willing to
part with for the following (some of which I'm sure anyone on the list would
love to get their hands on):
Various - "The 13year Itch" - video & CD
Various - "Natures Mortes-Still Lives"
Various - "12" Anthology" (japanese thingy right?)
Wolfgang Press - "Choir" (this was a japanese thingy, like PS "Mrs. Dolphin")
His Name Is Alive - the "home" tapes
Air Miami - their "home" tapes as well (I think there were 2)
the first v/23 poster pack
any of the v/23 postcard packs
any of the v/23 calendars
again, i'm sure everyone on the list is looking for one, a couple, or all of
the items listed above. but since i haven't seen anyone ask or offer these
in awhile, i thought i'd ask. and, as always ------- PLEASE respond via
private e-mail.

hey. while listening to "moves like you," a cath carroll song from the
factory days, i noticed that near the end of the song she sings "angel,
i'll walk you home. . ." that's one of the names on unrest's "perfect
teeth" cd, with cath on the cover. the album, as most of you no doubt
know, also contains the song cath carroll. are any of the other songs on
the album "inspired" by her? i would look/listen, but i traded my copy of
perfect teeth away (for the NEW cath carroll album -- coincidence? i think
NOT!).
how is the factory album in general? i have the song "moves like you" on a
comp disc, and that is it. more importantly, is it still available?
"moves like you" kicks the new album (which is still ok) into the ground,
so i'd like to hear the older stuff.
so who's keepin' my company tonight while i write my stories for Journalism?

it's "A Street Scene / Reserve Shot Gunman". Came out on cd, btw... with
really beautiful sleeve art/deep red see-through case. A.S.C is exactly the
same as on "Hex" (an album which I STILL insist is too perfect for words!).
And Jens' comments about R.S.G are all right on...
>Blue / Hex / Big Shot(?) remix
> "Blue" is more or less in the same style as the album "Hex" but more
>upbeat and with synthesized bass and drums.
'Blue" is the closest that BP will ever/should ever come to making pop. It
sounds like a v-e-r-y moody Pet Shop Boys. Doesn't mean that I don't love it
utterly - this band has yet to make a single misstep - but "Blue" isn't what
"Hex" fans are expecting. Bark Psychosis seems to travel in footsteps
parallel to A.R.Kane... mere 'pop' from either group dusts the ground with
everything else in its wake. :)
>"Hex" is incredibly noisy.
"Hex", the 'title track'(?) IS incredibly noisy - but it's probably the most
addictive bit of pure noise overdose you'll ever experience; think Princess
Dragon-Mom, Merzbow, and (Dead) His Name Is Alive - run through with
Main/Labradford flatline sensibilities.
>The remix (is it "Big Shot" or some other album track? I forget) is
>redone as all-synths. Worth picking up for the completist but there's
>nothing really good on it.
>
"Big Shot" is remixed by Rudi (A.R.Kane) Tambala - which not only makes it
essential, but also gives it tangible 4AD relevance! Yay! :-D
>Supposedly the band are still together, but they haven't released
>anything since '94.
I dunno - just saw the dreaded words 'ex-Bark Psychosis' in a Boymerang
preorder statement. :( Let's just all hold hands, cross fingers, and hope
that it's not true - since Bark Psychosis without Graham Sutton would be
like...uh... Disco Inferno without Ian Krause (WAAAAH! I'm still crying over
that one...)
quick backtrack:
"All Different Things"(89) and "Nothing Feels"(90) were originally issued as
2-sided 12"s ONLY on Che(ree) Records. The two 12"s were combined to create a
single EP, "Nothing Feels/I Know/All Different Things/By Blow"(90) - the
first four tracks on the INDESPENSIBLE "Independency" compilation. The first
- and only non-compiled B.P. track - was on a Che(ree) flexi with Spacemen 3
and the Fury Things. But Graham himself (who are we mortals to doubt him?!)
says that it's absolute crap. :) ... actually, he says that about the
spine-melting "By Blow", too. So go out, look for it, and let me know what
YOU think! It might even be on the "Mon Cheree Amour" cd comp. . . I don't
know.
If you need to satiate your Graham Sutton cravings - can't blame you, of
course - check out O'RANG - "Herd of Instinct". Not only is it Talk Talk's
rhythm section; it's also fookin' brilliant - sensational, rich, vibrant,
complex, dub/world/ambient/experimental music. AND Graham -Hallowed Be His
Name- plays guitar on tracks 1,2, and 3!!!! Beth (Nobody Loves Her) Gibbons
and Matt (more 4AD relevance!) Johnson are on the album, too. Graham used to
reefer to the band as SCHWAA in interviews, but I'm pretty sure that they
simply changed the name of the project. It's a phenomenal album - hard to
find and expensive, but aren't ALL the best things in life?! :) There's an
EP, too - "Spoor". Both are on Echo UK, though the ep has been reissued by
the wonderful folks at HitIt! - who also resurrected
[go-out-and-buy-it-this-minute] BUTTERFLY CHILD's "Onomatopoeia".
Just a note, since my 'cred' seems to be at stake here. I am NOT connected
with any sort of store, label, or commercial venture. The AE reviews were
posted for purely informational purposes - I thought it a shame that few have
been aware of those two amazing albums... I don't work for ae, Hitit!, Echo,
or Third Stone - hell, I'm not even working. :( I'm trying to dig up some
'unheard' classics. Hope that's clear now.
please join me in setting fire to all the busses in the world...
Gil
Pure. . . for quite some time now. The only thing is that they charge album
price for it. Seems pretty stupid, considering that it's only 6 tracks
long...
Oh. . . .
13th Floor Elevators RUUL!
and Kranky has yet to release anything less than sensational.

I'd also give the man a rose (for the post 4AD albums). This is a turnaround
yes? It's not a case of production inferiority either. It just didn't do it for

There's a line in 'Angel I Walk You Home' that goes "England Made You". The
title of CC's solo LP on Factory is 'England Made ME'.
The Unrest instrumental on 'The 13 Year Itch' is called 'Where Are All Those
Puerto Rican Boys'. And that's a line from CC's 'Beast (On The Streets)', a
track on 'England Made Me', also released as a CD-single/12".
>how is the factory album in general? i have the song "moves like you" on a
>comp disc, and that is it.
The 'England Made Me' LP/CD is rather good but a bit too smooth. I prefer
her 'True Crime Motel' album on Teenbeat. 'England Made Me' contains the
original version of 'Moves Like You' which isn't half as good as the
single-remix.
> more importantly, is it still available?
Factory went down 3 years ago, so you'll have to look for a second hand
copy, I'm afraid. Or try to get in touch with someone in Germany. The album
was re-issued there via Rough Trade in 1992.

I want to share my first experience with ordering online
from CD Europe. In short, I'm delighted! 21 days ago
I placed an order for Disco Inferno's "Summer's Last Sound"
and yesterday it arrived in my mailbox. They have a nice feature
where you can check on the status of your order, and it was
great to view the progress of my order as it went from
"on order" to "filled" to "shipped".
The only problem is that the prices are more than you
typically would pay at a record store. For all the
stuff I looked up, prices from $25 to $30 or more
were common, even for readily available releases.
But if you just can't find that one disc anywhere else,
maybe it's worth it. For the Disco Inferno cd-single
I ended up paying $11.95 plus $3.50 shipping.
Pretty painful, but I think that's the only way I could
have gotten it.
Here is something someone posted here over a year ago:

The cover of "Holocaust" is on the first TMC album, not 'Filigree and
Shadow'. And while I'm not sure exactly how the timetables line up, I think
the Paisley Underground "soopergroop" Rainy Day might have beaten Ivo'n'Co.
to the punch by covering the aforesaid LX Chilton toon on their album with a
similar arrangement as the TMC version.
Personally, while 'It'll All End in Tears' has more than its share of
outstanding songs (albeit covers, including a characteristically wordless
rendition of Roy Harper's "Another Day" sung by our favorite twitchy siren
Liz Fraser), I'd found 'Blood' to be more... coherent, to pull a word out of
the air.

Actually, it is hard to compare 'Eccsame the Photon Band' to anything else,
because there really isn't anything as marvellously schizoidly pop as the
aforementioned long-player from Mssr. Heasley & Co. The Boo Radleys came
close in spots of 'Giant Steps' (another repectably Sgt. Pepper-inspired
album, in my book), but on the whole, the "Difficult Second Album from the
Lilys" is quite the curious beast all on its own.
But anyhoo, if the original topic of discussion had to do with "noisy guitar
pop bands," I'd throw in my endorsement for Henry's Dress, the mythical
missing link between the Valentines, Unsane, and Beat Happening, and quite
arguably one of the loudest three-piece bands I've witnessed of late. And
there's this band Godzuki from Detroit (home of MC5, natch) whose relatively
recent set w/ ESP Family was gratifyingly noisy yet concurrently melodic
(and the two-time double-feature of 'A Hard Days Night' and 'Death Race
2000' on the background movie screen did cast a really funny VU/Warhol angle).
And here's a curveball from out of nowhere: does anyone here rememeber Yuji
Oniki?

This predictions thread got my thoughts a rollin', and it seems I have
some predictions of my own............................................
AIR MIAMI
(i'll bet 4ad won't push their new album - have they really? - or any
future AM albums, thus AM will have little impact on anyones lives,
especially in England where Mark Robinson seems to have little effect
on anybody. The UK generally overlooked or up their noses towards
Unrest, so why should they care about AM? Mark's projects will probably
always have a place on 4AD though, cuz Ivo thinks Mark is tha shit, and
rightfully so in my opinion.)
HNIA
(i think someone mentioned that this band will "save" 4ad or will release
THE 4ad lp of the decade or something. I hope that this is the case, and
i certainly think it's possible, but their cut and paste approach has
kinda wore thin with me. I haven't heard any of the esp cassttes, but
anything Warren touches seems to turn to gold. I don't know that he'll
"save" 4ad, but he could be the glue that hold it together.)
LUSH
(easily my favorite , current 4ad act. anything they release i always like,
although the last lp made me fidgety. if their new album DOES sound like
elastica, it could give 4ad a little more worldwide cred, but i don't know
if i would want to buy anything that sounds like elastica. but i'm not
worried, it still is Emma and Miki runnin' the show after all.)
PALE SAINTS
(to me, ian's departure is the most depressing 4ad factoid ever. i found
this to be even more depressing than the Cocteau's departure from 4ad.
their last album MAYBE showed promise, and you can accept them for what
they are, but to me, listening to them now is simply painful. as far as
i'm concerned, ian was the pale saints. and i predict that their new album
will anger me, and not just simply make me roll my eyes like the last one. i
kinda wish they'd just go away. their new album, if there is to be one,
will flop, flop, and flop.)
i'm beginning to wonder if i actually made ANY predictions. :P
just my mind mind wondering i guess, thanx for listening!
any other thoughts to add to mine?

hi gang
I had a nightmare last night. TMC had reformed for a 4th release and
in keeping with the trend of using current in house rosties, Ivo got
together the "talents" of amps/scheer/mojave 3/liquorice...but wait
theres more..the release was a triple album *yikes* and the cover art
was a luminous bright orange background with an out of focus photo of
a half eaten mouldy cabbage...and it was one of those scrath-'n-sniff
jobs too!! I can't remember more as I was awoken by the slapping palm
of daddy dearest..apparently my nightmare induced wails had awoken
the entire block...but i'm a lot better now after those two nice man
in the white van came to take me away...in fact i'd hug them if it
wasn't for this ridiculously tight fucking straight-jacket! ah
well...time for my shot again!
damn..i hate it when my other half takes over the terminal. soory
gang...just a little mail to say that i wrote off to 4ad complaining
about the fact that their supposedly free FTWW disc was being sold
here for $30 so those nice chaps sent me a freebie + a crappy belly
postcard + a copy of the catalogue (i have a spare now so Ed, write
me if you want it). Anyways, the catalogue included a nice A4 card
listing releases available post catalogue release and also a
list of deletions. The funny thing is that it had DCD towards the
within marked as double cd/tape/lp...right down to the catalogue nos
too! anyone know anything about this...is this a conspiracy?? also
had the lisa gerrard tour prog listed as a sale item but alas no
price was given! anyone want to shed light on the Towards the Within
anomaly...??
in the mean time i best get my asbestos suit on...and who the hell is
LUSH anyway...are they old or new 4ad sounding??

There will be no more SortSol (if you were paying attention, you know why).

still exist?
2. Does anyone know the whereabouts of Colourbox and/or Lorita Grahme (sp?)?
3. Just to get it straight, who is in RHP now? Who left? Who were the
musicians that Mark K. recorded with (someone mentioned this once before I
believe)?
4. The band TONE on Bruce Licher's IPR does contain Phil Krauth of Unrest. T

Same with Frank Black's last one, and the first self-titled Red House
Painters album - the DAD catalogue numbers are used for albums where
the *vinyl* version is a double disc, so you don't need to worry about
there being a double CD version of that DCD live album somewhere.

What's the sddress to get a catalog from the US office?
Date: Wed, 15 Nov 1995 01:35:57 PST
Wattso,
I also received that catalogue (and FTWW). As I recall, the CD is single (althou
h the
catalogue number is DAD) The vinyl version has the two extra tracks from a passa
e in
time i.e. Bird, Spirit. The CD doesn't. My "Towards the within" is definitely s
ngle, but has
a DAD number on it. It's obviously a plot to confuse the masses and force us to
collect"
it. My catalogue has a Scheer promo postcard and some "wormy looking things" on
t.
I would imagine the wormy things are from the mouldy cabbage from your TMC
cover. And by the way you are incorrect. In my dream the new TMC is a 4 album
metal boxed set which contains real voodoo dolls of some members of the bands
you mentioned....

At the time of Stereolab's tour for Mars Audiac Quintet, Dilworth was on a
motorcycle trip around Europe, according to Duncan from Stereolab, but I
suppose he's finished that by now. I imagine he's doing photography again.
Dilworth is the only person to have a Saint Etienne song named after him

Absolutely. Labradford do a good atmospheric thing, especially on their new
one "A Stable Reference". Another recent release is by a New Zealand band
called Flies Inside the Sun, which should appeal to fans of all-out noise
and general sonic mayhem. Jessamine you will like if you are a fan of noisy
guitar a la Swirlies or Th' Faith Healers and/or droney old keyboards,
similar to Stereolab. Speaking of which...

The sleeve doesn't say where in Europe it was recorded, all it says is
"Recorded Live In Europe, February 22nd 1987"
It was recorded in front of an audience, but not in the order on the CD (i.e.
there's a blank space in between each song)
I also know some of the songs on the sleeve are mistitled. For example, #9
(if I'm not mistaken) should be "In power we entrust the love advocated"
(from the first self-titled CD of course). But I listed the songs as they
appear on the sleeve. I hope this helps someone.

You can order the Mojave disc from Intergalatic Garage (contact information

I must definitly reply to tell that I fully agree on the Pixies albums;
it's shame that after they've splitted up, neither Frank Black or Kim
Deal reached the same level as they did with the Pixies, although the
Breeders had some good singles and maybe Kim's new project is something
to look forward to. Let's hope -after a bad sale- they reconsider
working back together. At least I will continue buying their next records.

I bought my TMC box set in Albuquerque for around $33 (course, I worked
at the store I bought it at, so....). It's a good investment. Really
enjoyable to listen to, especially the Thais pieces, and that one that
sounds like a ship in the fog (what was that called? I want to say the
Pierced Heart or somethign similar to that). If you don't want to invest
in the whole thing, just get Filigree and Shadow. It hsa the above
mentioned tracks.

Most definitely, 'Dream Letter' and 'Live at the Troubadour' comprise a very
good starting point for Tim Buckley's works. If memory serves, those two
live albums document a period in Buckley's career that I personally find to
be his peak (somewhere around 'Happy/Sad' and 'Starsailor').
Okay, so can anyone recommend a good Roy Harper album to get?

You are right, I have one called "Ailema", which is also the Belgium 93
concert. I don't know if it's exactly the same as "Dark Christmas" - if
anyone wants to compare, "Ailema" has 18 tracks (first is "Amelia", last "Angel
Tears")
The second DCD bootleg I own is called "The Rare Traxx" and has been "recorded
live in the US 90-94". Sound quality is quite good.
Tracks are:
- Fuaelo
- Spleens
- Lilian Colours
- End of a Circle
- Desert Sun
- Mystical Rain
- Sailing the Sea
- Watch over me
- Out Of A Serpent's Egg
- Amelia
- Ignis
- Lost Treasure
- Forest Of Souls
- Factuus
- Empty Dreams
- Mourner Rose
- Garden of Refuge
- Ichor
Some other bootlegs I know of: "Golden Age" (fairly old, ~86), "Mystical Rain"

Interesting story about this song. I read once in a magazine that Kate Bush
was a big Tim Buckley fan, so back in the early '80's she and Peter Gabriel
did a duet of it.... AND IT WAS NEVER RELEASED!!!!AAAARRRRRGGGG...
Being one of my favorite songs sung by one of my favorite artists, I was
obviously a little incensed. I finally found a copy of a demo of the song
on a KB bootleg, but the quality was definitely below mediocre.
Maybe in a parallel universe somewhere, it reached #1 and stayed there for
15 weeks straight. I can only hope.

In response to the person from AOL asking where to find the 'Miss
America' album by Mary Margaret O'Hara:
1. Look around at used record stores. It's out of print.
2. The artwork is done by Mary Margaret O'Hara herself, NOT Chris Bigg!
Unless the part on the liner notes that said "Album Artwork : M2O'H" is some
strange sister company of V23.
3. This album was produced by Michael Brook, which may be the 4AD connection
you were thinking of.
4. 'Help me lift you up' is the best song on the album... so don't expect a
potpourri of shimmering brilliance.
Glad to be of assistance, please deposit 20 cents for the next 10 minutes.

Hate ta burst yo' bubble, but CMJ ALWAYS gives any Mark Robinson release
mad props. Then again, this #1, was it for college radio results, or for
CMJ staff picks? If it was for the former, then I must say I'm surprised,
i wasn't aware that Air Miami was getting so much college air play!
Then again, I live in D.C. which is totally devoid of college radio.
If it was for the latter, then I would argue it has more to do with a
bunch o' hip New Yorkers (CMJ staffers) who always worship at the TeenBeat
alter. This is great for publicity, but 4ad had little to do with it. It
coulda been on Cleopatra & CMJ woulda given it the highest rating.
Ya see - the power of Mark E. in effect!
Sorry to sound negative, and thanks for pointing the CMJ fact out, but
I'm still not convinced 4AD will push Air Miami the way they have other
acts - i.e. Breeders, Lush, etc...

I don't know about that show but Mark is doing a solo acoustic thingy

Will I be there? Of course. Anyone else in the area might want to stop

Ok. Here are some others:
Medicine

Felt
the day the rain came down
(it's hardly noticeable, but it IS credited)
and remember that there are two different versions
of "Candleland", both with her vocals (as far as I
recall). Liz actually appears in the video!
I've got a feeling there are others, but they aren't
coming to me.

I hate to say this, but I bought the Mojave 3 CD (and it looks, for all
intents and purposes, to be an import copy) for $14.99 at Rasputin's in
Berkeley, CA. After reading everybody's posts I have no idea why my copy was
so cheap, but I'm sure that one of us Bay Area 4AD-L people could
periodically check out for it at Mod Lang / Rasputin's / Amoeba (you can't
shop at just one!) if any of y'all are interested.

Just to add my two pennies worth, I got this DCD CD at a recrd fair in
Glasgow. There were actually four there. One was exactly the same recording
as this one, but different artwork and design of CD. One other was
seriously bad quality, and another was pretty good quality and was their
earlier stuff (not my cup o' tea).
This one is okay quality, bit quiet (apart from the audience - especially
the person standing next to whoever recorded the gig - he coughs bloody
loudly!).
The CD is on (surprise surprise)

"Slighlty disappointed" is quite mildly put - in fact, I'm very disappointed.
Somehow, I expected a calendar designed by v23 - however, only very few
are done by them (at least, I've never heard of the other artists in
context of v23 (in fact, I've never heard of them at all)):
One month is by S. Larbalestier, one by C.Bigg and one by V. Olivier
himself (and although I generally like Olivier's work, this is certainly
well below his usual standard)
The months done by the other artists are with few execptions fairly
uninteresting photographs.

About 4 pictures are nice, 4 are so-so, and the others are imo quite ugly.

Earlier in my gushings about _Blood_ I meant to say the other song I liked with
the piano was "with tomorrow" not "another day". All this talk about "another
day" had that on my brain when I sent the other note.

BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD!!!! ...and nothing but!
Everyone rags on this one as being the weakest of the three, but I gotta
disagree. "You and Your Sister" is one of the most haunting songs I've ever
heard...I still get chills when I listen to it.
"..til I gain control again" is also one of my favorite songs. God, have you
heard the original? Who is it? Tammy Wynette or someone that did it? I
absolutely love the old piano in that song. I recently inherited my aunt's old
piano which sounds identical to the one in the song; and I grew up listening to
that piano, so that song along with "another day" really evoke strong feelings
in me. However, I always thought she said "..that marks the straightest jetti's
end" instead of "that marks the safest journey's end." which I got from the
original version so that kinda depressed me. I had images of a jetti poking out
in the water in the dead of night with a lonely lighthouse at the end.
Nonetheless, THIS SONG RULES!!
Speaking of perfection, the initial way the CD starts out also just relaxes the
hell out of me. I hear it start out and just lose myself in the wash. I can be
having the worst day of my life; and I hear this CD start up and I'm instantly
in the best mood.
The cover of Syd Barrett's "Late Night" is also good; and I really like the
"sicker than a cat" song; I forgot the name.
Anyway, I like Filigree and Shadow (I bought it on tape in 1986, I think and
fell totally in love with it on a three-hour drive home one time; I later bought
the CD to it.)
Next I bought "It'll End In Tears"; which, maybe I'm not that "into" the old 4AD
sound; but I liked it the least. (Course, the only Cocteau Twins album that
really struck me was "Heaven Or Las Vegas" so you can see my bias.)
Finally, in 1991, I saw "Blood" in a Tower Records in New Orleans; I bought it
and have been completely in love with it ever since. I almost don't want to
listen to it too much (ever feel this way?) for fear of it becoming too
"commonplace" in that it doesn't have the same feelings I get now whenever I
listen to it.
Then a couple of years ago I bought the box set and I have to second the
recommendation about the orignal disc in the set. It is incredible as well.
Especially after hearing all these songs for years; and then get the orignal (in
some cases) more haunting versions of the songs as well?
Sheesh. Ivo truly is a genius (at times). hemsy, don't worry; I think if he
can turn mediocre talent like Heidi Berry into a goddess on this CD; that he can
even make something out of Scheer and Tarnation if he chooses to put together
another TMC.
In brief; instead of each TMC getting weaker; I feel just the opposite. Even in
the weird order I bought them in, I still rank them:
1. Blood (by a wide, W I D E margin)
2. Filigree and Shadow
3. It'll End In Tears
PS You fools! Diedre R. is a goddes and "The Kindness of Strangers" is an
awesome work. Go listen to it again. I'll wrastle anyone who says otherwise.
(I'm getting ready to go join wattso on the piss and vinegar list)

I've got a copy of this song from a live bootleg. It's
fairly good quality as bootlegs go. I would think that this
was the way the song was always meant to be performed,
to better agree with the lyrical content. It's also
the first time I ever heard this song and I just figured
it was some Peter Gabriel thing. Silly me. He also
does a stirring version of "Here Comes The Flood"
(? I hope that's the right title).
The bootleg is called something like "The Wizards Quest"
or some such nonsense, and it's a double vinyl thing.

Hector Zazou has made two albums, "Songs From the Cold Seas" and "Sahara
Blue."
Both albums are of the compilation sort, but with pretty clear central
direction from Hector Zazou. Sahara Blue is the first and has a more
industrial edge, the second album is more ethnically diverse. Take your
pick, they're both interesting.

And you can't write all of those favourite birthdays of family and friends

Just kidding, I think they (v23 and friends) made a beautiful piece of
work. I hoped it would be more than 14 pieces of paper, some hardboard and
a wire-o but the pictures are great. I love the idea of not putting the
days of the week on it because I never use a wall-calender to see what day
it is anyway... Sometimes I still look at April in August. So why make it
functional? I am not disappointed with this thing (than again, I don't have
copies of the first two calendars) but I don't think it's one of 'the
studio's most challenging designs' as Vaughan (is that him on the cover??)
likes to call it. I think this thing will be on my wall in 1997 too.
Vaughan himself did a great job by working with Ichiro Kono, I have seen
other images from this artist and I like it.
Look at number 23, it's a naughty little socker!
Any of the other calenders for sale somwhere?

Pale Saints are one of the artists on the Tom Waits tribute:
Step Right Up, The Music of Tom Waits
If we have to tell you how cool Tom Waits is, then you may as well skip this
and go to the Barry Manilow website. If however, you are hip to one of the
world's truly iconoclastic songwriter/poet/raconteur(s) then you are going
to superdig this disc. I mean c'mon...it would be an awesome LP just for the
songwriting. But, when you've got some of Waits best songs performed by
artists like 10,000 Maniacs (the last track released w/Natalie Merchant),
Tindersticks, Drugstore, Violent Femmes, Alex Chilton, Pete Shelley, The
Wedding Present, Dave Alvin, Magnapop, Pale Saints, Frente!, Tim Buckley,
Jeffrey Lee Pierce, Archers of Loaf and These Immortal Souls...well, need we
say more? Well, maybe just one more thing...on the cover of the LP is one of
the only pictures we could find of the legendary Tropicana Hotel--the Home
of Waits, Rickie Lee Jones, and just about any L. A. Hipster you'd care to
name. This record is available everywhere in the U. S. from your fave record
store, or Caroline Distributors. For the rest of the world, look for it on
the totally wacky Virgin label.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manifesto Records announces the upcoming release of album "Step Right Up:
The Songs of Tom Waits," which will be released worldwide on November 6,
1995.
The full line-up for the album is as follows:
* DRUGSTORE "Old Shoes"
* TINDERSTICKS "Mockin' Bird"
* PETE SHELLEY "Better Off Without A Wife"
* THE WEDDING PRESENT "Red Shoes by the Drugstore"
* VIOLENT FEMMES "Step Right Up"
* ALEX CHILTON "Downtown"
* ARCHERS OF LOAF "Big Joe and Phantom 309"
* THESE IMMORTAL SOULS "You Can't Unring a Bell"
* JEFFREY LEE PIERCE "Pasties and a G-String"
* MAGNAPOP "Christmas Card from a Hooker in
Minneapolis"
* DAVE ALVIN "Ol' 55"
* PALE SAINTS "Jersey Girl"
* TIM BUCKLEY "Martha"
* FRENTE! "Ruby's Arms"
* 10,000 MANIACS "I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You"
The album will be out in the U.S. and Canada through Caroline
Distribution, and in U.K., Europe, and Australia through Virgin Records.

A lot of people have been asking about M2O'H's "Miss America," so I thought
I'd provide what info I could.
I have no idea if it's still in print, but here's the US cat. info: Virgin
Records 91274. It is genius. If you like Lisa Germano and/or Kendra Smith,
you really should check it out. Check it out even if you don't like them,
because she's better than they are. Actually, those comparisons are
probably not as good as Tarnation and Mojave 3. There's definately a
country feel to it. Sort of a "deranged k.d. lang" vibe. And what a voice!
Contrary to at least one opinion, I don't think the album is just "Help Me
Lift You Up" and a bunch of filler. It is the best song (head and shoulders
above the TMC version), but "To Cry About," "Body in Trouble," and "You Will
Be Loved Again" are brilliant too.
Anyway, good luck finding it. I hope the information helps you.

Don't forget the 'Lifeforms' 7-track EP by Future Sound of London, 'Time
Baby 3' by Medicine, that Bathers track which I don't know the name of,
the tribute to Pink Floyd with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and I
believe there may also be one other Felt track called something like 'The
Day the Rains Came Down'. Heard of this?
