Here it is folks, I just got the info about 3 hours ago...sorry to post it so
late in the game, but I thought some of you would still be interested.
Here's what the news-release says:
"As its Christmas gift to us, Zoot's Coffeehouse is presenting a holiday
music festival to end all holiday music festivals. Forget Christmas carols
and Erich Kunzel, this "holiday pops" fest is, in the words of festival
organizer and underground maestro Warren Defever, "a noise spectacular" (yes,
that's a good thing) featuring some of the best new, hepper-than-hep
underground bands. It all kicks off Friday night with 'the Ohms', a curious
sonic alloy that's equal parts science and noise; 'Monster Island' a strange
beast indeed that Defever describes as "a modern version of 'Destroy All
Monsters" crossed with a folk band"; and 'the ESP Beetles' a fine,
upstanding, ornery, noise-rock outfit. Saturday the kids invade and conquer,
starting with fresh-faced young punks 'the Fags' candy-coated grrrl pop noise
from 'New Grape' (which features songwriter Dara Albro, pictured, and Erica
of Godzuki, with a little help from Defever), the Dr. Seuss-meets-Dr. Moreau
sonic rantings of 'the Snitches' and (relatively) elder statesmen local noise
legends 'Galen'. Both shows are all-ages. Doors open at 7p.m. and admission
is a paltry $5 both nights.. More info: 313-832-6621. --Lisa Cramton-Wexton"
Zoot's is located at 4470 Second Ave. in Detroit. I'm not sure of exact
directions since I haven't been there before, but rest assured, I'll find it.
I'll be getting in touch with Kenny or Davin of Time Stereo tomorrow to find
out whether or not HNIA is still supposed to be playing. With HNIA's past of
"surprise" shows (the last being at Zoot's only 3-4 weeks ago), I wouldn't be
a bit surprised if Warren decides to try out some of the new material. I'll
confirm this tomorrow.
If you ask me, the shows are still worth going to even if HNIA doesn't make
an appearance just to see 'ESP Beetles' as well as 'New Grape' (sounds very
much like KingOfSweet-era HNIA, only with a touch more 'noise').
Hope to see some of you there...if you plan to go, e-mail me to let me know
so that we might hook up.
Good luck to all who are going to try.
And again, sorry for the late notice... I myself am calling in sick Saturday!

Funny you should ask this, as I am preparing a Web site about
a road trip I took last spring; it'll have quite a few sound clips of bands
I like...it's hard to explain this site except that
it's very personal yet other folks will get it, I think.
There will be a bulletin board where folks can post
their own road trip stories, link to their own images and sounds
if they want.
I'm including sound clips by
Mojave 3 (nice for the folks who don't have the new LP yet)
Slowdive
Cocteau Twins
Love Spirals Downwards
Ride
David Bowie
Big Star.
maybe a few more....
I've chosen music that is relatively reflective, contemplative
as that's the mood I want to set when people browse the pages...
I guess the driving music should fit the mood your
in when you sit behind the wheel. When I drove around the country
a few years ago, I would usually put on something upbeat
in the morning to get me going, usually mellower stuff
in the afternoon, then NPR in the evening, and god knows
whatever I felt like in the wee hours.....depending on if
I was hyper or mellow....I blasted down the freeway around
Indianapolis to MBV's "loveless"! Those of you who live there
or have been there know the freeway circles the city..if you miss your
exit you just keep going 'cause you'll reach it again eventually.
It was quite an interesting experience.....

i think e's point was that his guitar has had moments of complete
spastic bursts of noise and gurgles, much like something you might
find in an excerpt of an LLC song. had he used the ol' 8-tracker
to record said event, he might just be the next noise king...
yamatsuka eye and e might be the next lollapalooza opening act. ;)
{and yes, i probably did spell eye's name wrong...}
LLC are super duper brilliant, btw. anyone that accepts e's opinion
on their music can slug it out with me, because he's dead wrong... :)
however, this whole petty barb thing....is out of hand. extracting
a small portion of an otherwise large review of a compilation cd and
then blowing it up to be something bigger than it is and then letting
it get to such a point is just...well...looks sort of juvenile to me.
i do/say/write juvenile things...but the parties involved here are
capable of much more, shall we say, eloquent banter..no matter what
side of the coin they stand on.
come on...we can all be friends....i invite both ryan and e over
to my happy li'l abode for a peace party. e can bring a cappuccino
machine {you still owe me one, from ages ago..remember? you said
you'd make me some sometime..} and ryan can bring some sort of food-y
thing {but if it resembles a xmas cookie, i'm sacrificing it to the
gods}. you two can slug out the LLC issue with some Nerf bats and
then we'll all shake hands and be happy li'l listies....

i like mbv, but considering much of the noise-laden music i have

Well, actually LLC have played in San Francisco (or was it berkeley?), New
York and Philly to me knowledge, oh yeah as well as some Beautiful Noises
in Arizona.
I thought maybe Pittsburg as well (did that ever happen)?
As far as getting a record contract, well luck may be a big and very
important factor, but talent sure helps (it don't hurt to have some). I
think talent is the more important of the two though. Sure, a few
no-talented luckies will succeed, but artists will true talent, as long as
they keep plugging away will, more often than not, get recognition (but not
necessarily fame and fortune).
Take Care,
Ryan

A lot of people did do it, and most of them had the good taste not to
release it or call it art. Granted for the sake of argument that my own
music is complete shit, there is no doubt in my mind that everyone on
this mailing list could *easily* write and record more a more original
and inspired track than the loveslies' idiotic answer to Jingle Bells.
This includes both that band (who have brief flashes of brilliance on
bloweye) and anyone who has some shit he can leave on so it makes
interesting rubbish when he leaves the room and the guitar falls on the
keyboard.

And credit for this work ought to go entirely to the people who built and

This statement is only correct if you have no standards by which to
define such words as "music" and "garbage". But then why would someone
with no standard of excellence wish to discuss music in the first place?
A. to get tour dates
B. it's cool
C. breaking up fights is fun
D. reviews of other people's reviews are worth reading

Actually, yes, that would be better if someone said "I have sound files of
xxx, who wants them?" and then they could either be e-mailed privately or
downloaded. I hadn't thought of how big the files would be. Sorry.
And I don't often feel compelled to defend my choice of computer, but...

Okay, so owning a Mac is a sign of true individuality (even if there are
thousands of other people who own one as well), but owning stuff that runs
Microsoft means you're one of the mindless herd? Nice double standard you
got there, pal. Atta boy. What you're saying is, "everyone who bought the
same thing as me must be as cool as I am, but anyone who bought the
competitor's product is basically clueless." Mac users always seem to be
saying, in chorus, "yes, we are all individuals" but I don't see much
evidence of that either. And yes, I saw your smiley, but this attitude
seriously bothers me (I don't know if this is really your opinion, but I've
heard enough people make this claim with a straight face). This is not a
personal attack - I'm just pointing out the flaw in the reasoning some
people use. I don't like Microsoft anymore than diehard Mac users do - I
roll my eyes in exasperation at the mere mention or sight of Gates and his
reptilian features and his "book".

High time someone brought this up. :)
I tend to listen to the same shit no matter where I am or what I'm doing
but there are some situation specific necessities I don't oft leave home
without. Most valuable among these are Harold Budd's _Lovely Thunder_ and
_The White Arcades_, which strangely enough keep me from falling asleep
at the wheel (read: pulling over before i risk falling asleep at the
wheel.) Does anyone else experience this? Hightened awareness and energy
from extremely chilly muzik?
Apocalyptic mountainous regions require Selected Ambient Works II,
especially if you're marvelling over obscenely big bridges, dams, or
other junk you're not supposed to like but can't help it. Creepy
cityscapes, real or imagined, require Global Communication or Seefeel.
Slow on the open road and with person in passenger seat asleep: Eno.
Music to gab over: old Current 93
The best music for driving on the highway at night is indeed Floodland.
Driving around downtown: Cocteau Twins, Spirea X' second ep
Open road, diffuse light, creepy country: Crime and the City Solution.
Bright sunlight: Fields of the Nephilim, Stereolab, FSOL, Labradford.
Nightfall under thick trees: nothing will do but the Cranes.
Night fast and uphill: Lifeforms, Woob1194
For driving very fast: The Jesus and Mary Chain, Orbital, Bel Canto, U2.
And for driving too slow: Autechre, The Glee Club, _Belief_, %atT.
Fighting in the car (America's favorite pasttime?): Lida Husik, Speedy J.
And making up: Locust.
Heavy daydreaming: Ambient 4: On Land, Pygmalion, The Pearl, Morricone.
Anything else: more Eno, more The The, and of course 76 14.
And the winner, for some reason: Succour.
...and Medusa.

To k-j and other friends of e:
"If your friends with e... well then dah-dah-dah-dah"
True, Mister e has been a good little so-and-so lately, but if you really are
sick of this e shit, maybe you should get e a public relations consultant to
reshape e's image. because, dear k-j, e has proven himself a complete and
total bastard in the past.
Sure, you may know the sweet e, but most of us know someone so self-righteous
and belligerent that he flames all but his trusty comrades (if they are
indeed real people and not pseudomonikers) in his sleep. If you truly are
>>sick of the petty barb<< thing, then tell e as well. He is *the* master
petty barber.
I, myself, think e is a fucking feeble shit, but I've normally refrained from
saying so, because it is NOT thislisty. But don't whine about being sick of
this e shit. He wants it. He deserves more. Besides, if anything, e has
proven he can take care of e, so if he really wants to say something he will.
Anyway Mister e, it seems, takes great delight in discussions like these for
the sheer fact that they reinforce his apparently frail ego. So nah.
I will say no more on this. Flame me if you will (I've got my asbestos on).
Respectfully yours (and back to the list),
