Has anyone played the Kevin Bacon game?  Someone names an actor and using
movies, you can link actor to actor and get finally, all the time, to
Kevin Bacon (Cary Elwes was in "The Princess Bride" with Wallace Shawn
who contributed a voice to "Toy Story" along with Tom Hanks who was in
"Apollo 13" with Kevin Bacon).  I wonder (in reference to the recent 4AD
list discussion) if the Kevin Bacon game can be adapted to "The Pixies
Game" or "The Throwing Muses" game or something in that vein.  Maybe I'm
just bored.

Just an innocent question.

4AD's Own Personal Lollapalooza

Everybody wants their own personal alternative to Lollapalooza. Now 4AD
Records is going to give William Morris and Perry Farrell (together or
separately) and the Warped Tour a run for their money. They'll mount
their version this spring, which they're calling the "Shaving The
Pavement" tour. And, quite naturally, the tour will feature three of
the label's best and brightest. Lush, with a new album, Lovelife due
out next month, headline, supported by Mojave 3 and scheer. The 25 city
tour begins April 11 in Seattle, Washington . In addition to the three
official acts, we're told that other 4AD artists will drop by for guest
spots. Artists like Tarnation, Liquorice, His Name Is Alive and Lisa
Germano. If you're real good (and in the right place at the right time)
you might also witness brief performances by the likes of the Deal
twins, and their bands, past and present. One source told us, "Maybe
Kim Deal will show up and sing Hank Williams' songs--that kind of
thing." Did we tell you about the free stuff? At every show during the
tour there will be give-always of cassette samplers and the like.

Subject: brother(or sister) can you spare a UNIX mailbox?


Hi Folks:

I was planning on re-starting the Dreampop
mailing list (but with a wider definition
of "dreampop" other than shoegaze/miasma/whatever)
but the problem is that I need another UNIX mailbox.
I _could_possibly apply to NYU's Academic Computer
Facilities for another account, but trying to get
ACF to do anything is like getting your mom to give
you the keys to the brand new SAAB after you've
downed a six of Bud.

So I was wondering if some good soul
out there had a Unix mailbox sitting unused
that I could have access to (yes I would need
the login and password) to run the Dreampop list.
I'm using a Macintosh program called
ListSTAR for POP that basically uses a plain-old
UNIX POP account for processing a mailing list.
I've got an account, but ListSTAR requires that each
mailing list have it's own separate UNIX POP account.

Let me know ASAP! Thanks.

We now return you to your normally scheduled
music email content....

Cya,
-B

P.S. I'm looking forward to
the MBV demo-tape-whatever-you-want-to-call-it.
Sounds like a cool creative endeavor
and will maybe prompt me to get
off my ass and buy some equipment.

Aw, it's great; I've seen it a number of times.  Just gotta sit down with
a big [root] beer (thomas kemper?) and wind yourself up to belly-laugh at
the cliches and squeal at the blood.  Fun to watch.

Anyone seen ... what was it... 'creepers'?  Killer tree roots...
My favorite is 'eyes of fire,' though it ain't all that goofy.

Say... don't know why I thought of it now, but...  did I tell you folks
about how I sang the Boo Radleys' "Barney and Me" at a Karaoke joint at
Metrotown (canada) on two separate occasions?  Probably?  Images of
blonde-haired girls with large chests playing ice hockey in swimsuits and
cut-offs...

I was quite surprised, when i saw Kendra Smith mentioned in this list. I'm a ext
eem Dream Syndicate fan, in which she played 1982 - 1983, and the last time i he
rd anything about her, was when she played in Opal. What has she been doing mean
hile and what solo records has she been doing.

RE lorelei tremolor's review

> surprised that it was lush, but
>liked the songs nonetheless.

I was surprised too, but how boring life would be without surprises!
Especially wonderful surprises like this one.  Without change, we would
have stagnation.  Lush have always been changing.  That's one of the
things I like about them.

>it's not the lush i fell
>in love with.  it's a whole new lush.

And what a great new Lush too!  But there are still definite traces of the
past there - in particular Last Night is very Split-esque, as is
Childcatcher (not surprising, as the song was debuted on the Split tour
back in '94).  Also the fade out to 'I've Been Here Before' reminds me of
Split moments...

>it's too bad that they're not still
>in scar mode.

See my first comment above

>slow song "papasan" is absolutely beautiful>

I totally agree.  It literally brought tears to my eyes.

>one thing that does bug me is the lyrics-- they used to be so poetic and
>now they're really not.

I like the new lyrics - the whole album has a very bitter and cynical
outlook.  And the change in production technique means that you can
hear the words very clearly.  But I think Lush's lyrics have always had
this edge to them as well as the poetic edge (re. 'Bitter', 'Hypocrite')

>"500" has some bad lyrics i think- from "shake baby
>shake...rake baby rake" to "they call you little mouse by name"

But it's a very good song, it has such a joyful feel about it, and there's
nothing wrong with the odd lighthearted lyric

>and all the horns they use...well, i don't mind them although i'm
>sure people will.

I was a little shocked when I first heard the horns, but after a minute or
two I got into the idea of them.

All in all, I find the album virtually flawless! :-)

>has anyone seen the single girl video yet?  i haven't...

Yes.  An amusing angle on Four Weddings and a Funeral...

        Well, you shouldn't be too surprised since she's now signed to 4AD.
 Her post Opal solo work has been primarily Guild of Temporal Adventures
(can't remember the lable) and Five Ways of Dissappearing (on 4AD).  I like
the Guild recording which might be hard to find but it's well worth the
effort.

I'm sick of his unjustified (that I have seen) slagging of the latter
beautiful album whenever he can seem to fit a dig at it in. I'm glad to say
I know that I don't see eye-to-eye with such a poor judge of people, music,
importance of role playing games, and especially self-worth; but I wonder
what other people's views on this album are. Am I alone in thinking that it
is one of the top two or three albums which 4AD have released? I wouldn't
think so - but who knows. Apart from the messy Cantara, which is it's only
downpoint for me, the whole glow of this album hits me for six everytime.
Rakim is so huge a sound. Sanvean is sung so heartfeltly (I realise that
this is not a word before the flames start) that it could not be bettered
in the studio for her album. And Don't Fade Away shimmers long after it
finishes, as the crowd at the recording acknowledge in their wondrous
applause. What more could be asked for?
