Does that Make me cool for Finding a copy of their Center Of The Universe
album in the 2nd hand store (I love that Place) and listining to it non
stop. (Milkshake girl is playing currently) Is a More Major deal than a 7"
coming through with subpop?

Wow - to think I didn't have a clue of the development of techno
while growing up 10 minutes from downtown Detroit, and then
living in NYC while in College and every since during the
developing NoiseCapital of the world. I dunno, but I hope you're
all loving it there. :) I grew up in downtown Detroit, Dearborn
and Dearborn Heights from age 7 to 18...in any case sorry for
continuing this thread. [part of the reason was not owning my own
car, and not having friends who *dared* go into the city - pity.]
(And yes, my parents and I would take the 30 min car trip down to
A^2 for culture.)

In any case, slight more list related - I went to the Dub
Syndicate date here in NYC and it was SLAMMING. (I posted the
tour dates to the list.) Extremely spacey stuff. Nit very 4adish,
but GOOD music - with some sequencing (backbackbackground vocals
and some effects) but with live guitar, drums, bass, keyboards,
etc etc. All on the first tour of the US too. :)

G'night all,

/Michael - sentinel

Ivy is one of those bands that makes you realize light-and-fluffy can often
be interchanged with subtle lyrics and guitar effects. I love realistic, it
was one of my favorite (indie) releases from early '95. There's a couple
other EPs out, most notably the first single they released ("Get Enough"
from Realistic) and this one called "I Hate December" which is just as good
as the album for the three or four songs that are on it.

Ivy's really in touch with their fans, too. Check out "the Ivy Vine" (the
official home page) at:

        http://www.cis.drexel.edu/ivy/

or e-mail the mailing list at:

        [email protected]

the home page even has an .au file of the band saying "Welcome to the IVY VINE!"

Subject: Volkswagen Commercials


Since someone mentioned Lush and the Volkswagen commercials ...

Did anyone notice (and like) some of the other songs/artists featured in
the rest of the series, such as Psychic TV, Moonpools and Catepillars, and
Ivy?

Most specifically, I'd like to talk about Ivy.  After hearing one of the
commercials, I was somehow compelled to dial 1-800-DRIVE-VW.  To my
surpirse, they were actually more than glad to talk to me about the music
in their commercials (and get my address so that they could send me some
propaganda ... but hey, it was free).

Anyhow, that's how I discovered Ivy and the song "Beautiful."  I've bought
what I believe is their only full-album release, Realistic.  Does anyone
have their other EP releases?  If so, how do they compare to the material
on Realistic?


(Oh ... It's not assuming too much to think that Ivy emcompassess elements
of "that 4AD sound," right?  If so, apologies for the disruption.)

Date: Fri, 23 Feb 1996 10:53:42 -0500 For those who have already placed an order with the Shaolin Temple and for those who haven't heard here is an update on the HNIA 7" we are releasing. The mastering is being started as I write this and the art is being worked on also. The first initial financial payments have been made and we are only a few short weeks away from having the records in hand to be made available to all of you out there who are serious 4AD band collectors or Warren Defever followers. So if you have already placed an order with us, we will be contacting you soon regarding when you can expect the release at your front door, and if you haven't placed an order - HURRY! This first HNIA 7" is limited to 500 (and orders are being taken very quickly). Due to the limited amount these will not be available for long. Featuring the Little Princess on the B-side, those who like that should also look for the Shaolin Temple Noise Trilogy to be released after the HNIA 7". Featuring a member of Princess Dragon-Mom doing his unusual recordings, this trilogy will feature: Master Po, grasshopper and the Little Princess. Three one-sided, clear 7"s with hand screened B-sides limited to 300 (100 of each). And now out for you serious Defever fans, the Jennifer Wolski/ESP Beetles split 7" can be ordered through Revolver Records or by writing to this address or the address below.

It's amazing how music originally on the fringes slowly leaks into
the mainstream.

I recognize most of the bands in these commercials except for one
that interests me.  It's a guy singing "Are you free are you really
free, are you are you are you are you really free."  Then it sounds
like the beach boys.  The guys voice sounds a bit like Robyn Hitchcock.

Can anybody identify this one for me?

On a slightly different note, who dreams great songs only to wake
up the next morning not quite remembering what they sounded like?
I do and it's quite frusterating.

I always thought it was some Love & Rockets song from one of their last 2
albums (the only 2 I don't have).

I believe the voice belongs to Genesis P-Orridge of Psychic TV/Throbbing
Gristle fame.

Yes, it is PTV doing the song Roman P. Funny someone said it sounded like
Beach Boys, Psychic TV did a cover of Good Vibrations in the same
recording session ...

From: [email protected] now is now the time to be bringing this up, and I seem to remember this idea kicked around a little before, but, wouldn't it be great to have a seperate 4AD selling / trading list (like the indiepop trading list). When I read through the posts I skip over the trades and always plan to go back and read them later, but seldom do. I also have some stuff that I would be interested in trading and/or stuff I'm looking for, but I don't imagine EVERYONE is interested in hearing it on the discussion list. I got to thinking about this while reading a copy of Goldmine magazine because I found that some dealers have entire sections of their ads devoted to, generally, overpriced 4AD stuff. (i.e. Liliput for US$300) I thought there were only a couple of 4AD compleatist collectors, but it would appear that it's pretty popular as a collectible. Does anyone have any thoughts on this, good or bad? Later, James For in these post-absolutist days it is better to build upon the shifting sands than the rock which will confound you on the day it shatters.

well, i did a little record shopping this weekend and this is what i
didn't buy; a rain parade lp with kendra smith on one track, can't
remember the name, of course, two a.r.kane singles that aren't on 4ad,
the liae vid for $25 and a cocteu twins boot for $25 (pearly pink and
white). if anyone wants i'll pick them up for you next time i go to these
record stores (god knows when). i don't think any of these are
particularly rare, but if you can't find them i can get them for you.
here's what i didn't find: the new cocteau eps. i thught they were
supposed to come out last tues.???? here's what i did get (no heckling,
please) : earwig ep, wedding present "it's a gas" ep, siouxsie bootleg,
joy of life double cd on hyperium (1 of 500, ooooooh), kendra smith "16
ways..." cd for free (promo), and a modern english lp (bad 106 or
thereabouts, its' the one with 16 days and the cool assed cover with
fishes and stuff) it was still sealed!.
reply personally if you want any of the aforementioned items.

This would be psychic tv, the song Roman P....a song about roman polanski, i
think....good songs, but rather strange group!
