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!"

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.)

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.
Thanks for your continued support!!

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.

i''''m going to try to reply to a number of things in this one post so
as not to make you delete a bunch of little posts. post-its.
>first of all, little caesars makes the best commercials.
>let me go on the record as saying that ivy (us) bore me to death. yeah,
yeah, it's pretty and pleasant, but utterly boring in my objectively
correct opinion :) the ivy you *should* check out is from uk and on sarah
records. good luck finding any of their stuff.
>i'm listening to the new bel canto right now. some good, some bad, some
great, some crap. sounds like their record producer is used to working
with yanni or something.
>ok, that wasn't a reply, i just wanted to say something about it. sorry.
>of course 25cents isn't much to pay for this list, but i think there is
another principle that none of us want to admit to; that these lists are
about the use of the net to freely disseminate information, etc. at least
as far as i know.....
>yes, i'm a music director and get to talk to rich and matt and have them
send my station import things. lucky me.
>now, i'm not going to get into a critique of a label like projekt but i
will tell you that i think their policies are crap. dig this, they refuse
to service college radio. do they expect everyone to just order their
stuff sound unheard? sure they have those little descriptions about
albums in adverts and catalogs, but after a while they all sound the
same. i really hate the business aspect of music. i could
go on but i get the feeling that noone is reading this anyway.....
>liquorice; sorry, where are the high spots?
