My posting for the DubSyndicate show was incorrect - just got a
card from SOBs in NYC and the date is February 14, and not February 28.

So you might want to call the venues listed to check when the
band is coming through.

Sorry for any confusion, and if I find any more up-to-date
listing I will try and send it through. Please try to do the same.

Hi.. hope you have received my fax yesterday, with VISA informations.

You can add the double amber vinyl _Stereolab_ if it's available,
not the CD nor the domestic lp please.

Oh... add also Morrissey & Marr - The Severed Alliance, if it's only $4.

So, my total amount should be quite 38 - 40$ (without postage), for:

Stereolab _Switched On vol II_ Double amber vinyl
Volume 15 _CD+CD-ROM_
Morrissey & Marr - The Severed Alliance

Thanks.

I too thought Toward The Within was a great disc for a while.  Then I
stumbled across a couple of the DCD bootlegs.  While the quality of the
actual recording is not as good (and no there is no popcorn rumblings or
people talking into the mic) the performances and song selections are
IMHO superior.  Anyone who can get past the not-pristine audio (but very
listenable) should check out "Dark Christmas".  I have one other on tape
but can't remember the name.  I've seen a number of others around, too.

I picked up an interesting item yesterday, and was wondering just what
the hell it is!!

It's a 7" in a plain white paper sleeve.
it has a black label that says the same on both sides:

the amps  bragging party
1995, made in england

the interesting thing is that even though it was made in the uk, it has
both the 4ad logo and the elektra logo.-- I thought that the amps were
like all of deal's bands (pixies, breeders...) on 4ad in the uk, and
distributed in the usa by elektra...

please someone help me....

"Unable to arrange anything with Farrago directly"?!!!!  :)

Okay, I promise this is going to be the absolute last plug for the 10" here,
so...

ESP Summer 10"s are available directly thru Farrago Records.  They're going
for $6.50 each, which includes postage for domestic US orders (send me
e-mail to hash out the international postage bit).  Our snailmail address is:

Farrago Records
P.O. Box 13148
Houston, Texas 77219

And make checks out to Farrago.

how about clean production, no audience noise and well the possibility
of a band not releasing a live effort just seems kinda indulgent to me
personally.  i can never understanding the fascination with
bootlegs--shitty sound usually, but not always and there's always some
idiot WHAAAA and WHOOOing in the background.  yuck, but it is a
personal yuck.  not even close to be the top three of 4ad releases.
and if we didn't differ what fun would this listy be.  euthelene, who's
still picking up the soggy mess that was once my storage room...

I heard that the plastic on the Cd is destroying with air and time, so Cds
would have only 10-12 years life!    Less that old vinyl !!!

"The Vinyl Record Analog System offers the best possible sound reproduction
on a convenient twelve-inch disk. The fairly large (but flat) size provides
quite a large place for artwork and information unlike it's digital
counterpart, the compact disk. It's remarkable performance is the unique
combination of analog storage and stylus optics. For best results, you
should apply the same care in storing and handling the Record as you would
with conventional CDs"

yes, 'single girl' is rather weak, and the b-sides pretty atrocious
as well, but what's the comparison with 'Ocean Beach'?
to each his own (or her, obviously...) but i thought the latter was
brill! perhaps not quite as good as the releases which preceded it,
but i figure it's damn near impossible to put out that kind of
quality with any sort of speed.
i'm biased. i think Red House Painters can do no wrong. however, i
find it almost laughable to think that someone would (sorry, Could)
compare something like 'Drop' to something like 'Tinkerbell'.
whatever, einey!

Subject: Lush's Lovelife


well, i don't really feel like doing a full-blown review of the new
Lush album, 1) because i'm not really into the three page art
description thing and 2) i don't want to give away the surprise for
anyone.

i would just like to say, in a general way, everyone needs to take a
chill-pill. we've all been jumping all over the new album as shite
based solely on the recent single, MYSELF INCLUDED.

as it happens, 'single girl' is NOT indicative of the new lp (i just
managed to get a copy of the promo which is circulating.) i've
listened to it about five or six times and really dig it.
the fact is, it doesn't sound like old lush at all (i couldn't
believe that the voice on 'ladykillers' was miki the first time i
heard it), so people who go into 'lovelife' expecting 'gala' or
'spooky' or even 'split' are going to be disappointed. those who
manage to keep an open mind however will probably really like it.

i have to say, the first time through i was really underwhelmed. i
was crazy about 'split' and was expecting it to be pretty similar to
that, which, in retrospect, was unfair.

fortunately, 'single girl' was by far the poppiest thing on the lp.
i'm not going to draw comparisons to other bands, nor am i going to
label it as falling into a certain genre. i will say this...
lush have not sold out. that old thread was crap. true 'single girl'
blows (actually, i'm kinda getting used to it), every b-side (save
MAYBE 'sweetie') sounds really cheap. i'm happy to report, however,
that everyone can relax and save the speculation. just listen to it
when it comes out (beginning of march) and try to take it as its own
entity. the band's maturing, so as long as they don't go the same
route as Ride, i'm not complaining.

byefornow,
          K-

p.s. that Ride comment was somewhat of a bad joke. sorry. what a
fucking bummer...
p.p.s. anyone else think tinkerbell was one of the worst tracks lush
ever put out. twice?!

Let's keep the technophobes happy first:

Lush are releasing "Ladykillers" on the 26th, B-sides are:

7" : I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend
     (a cover of the Rubinoos' "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", apparently).

I think that's the same day the new Cocteaus single hits the shops,
too.  And Stereolab are back on the 19th with a single, "Cybele's
Reverie", and an album, "Emperor Tomato Ketchup", on the 11th of
March.

LFO's "Advance" is the finest techno album I have heard since "Amber" -
there's very little of the experimentation with sound that Autechre or
Richard James do, I get the impression (as with Orbital) that anyone
could buy off-the-shelf synthesisers and studio gadgets and make the
same noises.  What matters is the composition and the production.  Some
of the album is drifting semi-ambient music (similar to parts of the
last Spiritualized album), some is pounding techno, but with a great
deal more variety and interest than most of that sort of thing.  I have
prised it out of my walkman occasionally in the last few days (see below
- the new Pavement single "Give it a Day" is also absolutely
first-class), but it's looking to be this year's "Iaora Tahiti" (another
superb techno album, and one which is often overlooked).

The new Tortoise album _Millions Now Living Will Never Die_ is out and it is
quite good.  I really cannot write a review to save my life so I won't even
try.  For those who have never heard Tortoise I would describe their sound
as a cross between Rachel's (sans the chamber music) and Stereolab.  There
are no vocals.  Definitely music to be listened to in a dark room late at night.

Subject: cult of ray


picked up frank black's latest and after 3 listening i say, thumbs down.
don't know what he is doing..... i don't get it - gone are the quirky
lyrics, the 2 minute paeans to the dross of american culture - this
seems to be his tribute to trex/transvestite bowie guitar licks... and
seems to me that, with the exception of a few songs, there was no thought
put into the lyrics at all - i'll be the first to admit i rarely catch what
he is crooning about on the first (or second or third or ever) listening,
but even when you couldn't get it you knew he was singing about something!

i'm left thinking it's a bad joke on us - those who slavishly buy frank's
output - the title - the cheesey guitar in the left channel (and the credits
stating that mr. black's guitar is heard on the right... barely, i might
add).... the "punk rock" song that sounds about as "punk" as 90 percent
of AOR - the lyric 'melting rock into metal again?' .... don't do it for
me, frankie.

by the way, the homage to pixies lyrics to 'kicked in the taco' someone
posted was the joke of some netter - the real taco is of a different
flavor

> What's this "Urusei Yatsura" all about anyway?

but i do know urusei yatsura. scottish band. the fourth issue of their
fanzine 'kitten frenzy' got a real slagging in the music papers last week.
four real singles i think, two on 'che' (er, and 'plastic ashtray'), two on
'love train' ('siamese'/'low-fi scary balloons' and 'kernel') and a ep that
they did themselves i think (at least he offered me something like this when
i ordered the last couple of fanzines about a year ago). named after the
japanese cartoon series about Lum, a pointy horned, tiger print bikini
wearing alien, er, babe (got the first of the films and the first of the tv
series tapes on video at home - weird stuff, must buy more), title means,
roughly, 'those obnoxious aliens'. the band are very much a pop sonic youth /
mary chain.

('siamese' namechecks 'yummy fur', another scottish band, also named after a
comic book, this time an american underground title, kinda like the fall only
teenaged, shouty pop punk (two(?) eps - 'kodak nancy europe' and something
that mentions both yuri gagarin and walt disney in the title and thus a
political record) must buy more of this too, you probably wouldn't like them.
scotland seems to be the place to be from, again)

Today I remembered to bring in my copy of "64 slices of american

stuff far far too long for me to type out. (I am at work and they seem
to think they pay me to do some?).  It includes mostly Che' stuff,
plus various other things of, I assume, a related nature.

I definitely recommend the BEAR stuff,  others include 18th Dye, the
Backwater 7" is top and Bardo Pond are much better than their name if
you like noise. The Duh record is much better than many samplers
around IMHO.

Che' e-mail is given as [email protected]

Their address is PO Box 653, London E18 2NX, UK tel: 0181 530 8381 &

Apparently their stuff is distributed in France (Le Biscuit Club),
Spain (The Green UFO's) and Canada (Derivative Records) addresses
given in the catalogue.

Hope this is of use

Perhaps it is the fact that he uses my name in the first tracks title and
subject, but Nick and the Seeds newest cd left chills all over. And
honestly I never get tired of the chosen "subject" matter...it thrills me.
So I had no qualms about the genre of tunes that he put out on this cd.
He varies them masterfully and he has some very unexpected guest artists
for you to swoon over....Polly Jean and that LOcomtive Aussie, Kylie, who
actually sounds rather interesting.  Just try it before you get dissuaded

        They have a release out called "In Pine Effect,"
" and its one of the
better ambient/techno strolls I've heard.  They're ability to stroll through
the various genres of house and techno and ambient make the album very
listenable--actually engaging.
        They have sampled a Kristin Hersh song of her "Hips and Makers" album
--my thislisty contribution.  The other reason I am replying is to note a
