Subject: Lovelife: The Tour (part one)


DAY ONE: BUCKLEY TIVOLI

On arrival in Buckley after a very quick hitch, I discovered that due to =
=0Athe recording of the Top of the Pops, the gig had been cancelled.  =0ABu=
mmer.

DAY TWO: LIVERPOOL LOMAX

A (far too) small venue (Capacity approx 200?), the Lomax had been =0Asold =
out for weeks.  Coast, the support were on first and they put on a =0Areaso=
nable show.  Then it was Lush.  The tiny room now packed solid =0Awith swea=
ty bodies, the band launched into =93Runaway=94, and performed a =0Aspirite=
d set of songs mainly from =93Split=94 and =93Lovelife=94, the earlier =0Am=
aterial represented solely by =93Deluxe=94, =93Sweetness & Light=94 and =93=
For =0ALove=94 (which Miki dedicated to the =93oldies=94 in the audience),.=
  but the =0Aaudience was happy, preferring to dance with more enthusiasm t=
o the =0Alikes of =93Single Girl=94 and =93Hypocrite=94 than the older trac=
ks.  =93Undertow=94 =0Amade its live debut tonight, as did =93Last Night=94=
, which was the first =0Aencore.  Perhaps not surprisingly the second encor=
e (and final song) =0Awas the current hit =93Ladykillers=94, which most of =
the audience had =0Aprobably watched being performed on Top of the Pops bef=
ore coming out =0Atonight.  Naturally, it brought the house down, and broug=
ht to a close the =0Afirst night of what looks to be a promising tour...

DAY THREE: LEEDS THE COCKPIT

 Another tiny venue, this time tucked away somewhere under Leeds =0ACentral=
 Train Station, the Cockpit had such a late start time that the band =0Awer=
e forced to play only a half hour set, which ended up being pretty =0Amuch =
a =93greatest hits=94 package, giving the audience as much as =0Apossible i=
n the short time available.  Bizarre that a band doing so well =0Aover here=
 at the moment (Ladykillers is receiving A LOT of radio and TV =0Aairplay) =
should have such time and space restrictions foisted upon =0Athem.

DAY FOUR: SHEFFIELD LEADMILL

Having drunk far too much at Leeds, I decided to stay sober for this one, =
=0Aand I=92m glad I did!  The best gig of the tour so far, this reminded me=
 just =0Ahow high music alone can make you.  A larger venue this time, the =
=0ALeadmill was still packed almost solid even during Coast=92s set.  By th=
e =0Atime Lush came onstage, the atmosphere was electric, and almost =0Astr=
aight away the audience were thrashing about wildly, one =0Acrowd-surfer ca=
tching the microphone stand with his boot, the =0Amicrophone hitting Miki i=
n the face.  It looked like quite a hard blow, =0Aknocking the microphone o=
ut of its stand, but Miki didn=92t seem TOO =0Aperturbed (=93You nearly had=
 my eye out there!=94).  The crowd continued to =0Apogo and surf wildly eve=
n to such an atmospheric number as =93Light from =0Aa Dead Star=94 which wa=
s played for the first time tonight, and the antics =0Adown the front were =
making the band laugh.  However, the band were =0Aeasily outperforming the =
audience, this was a blindingly brilliant gig; =0A=93Undertow=94 and =93S &=
 L=94 in particular stick in my mind from tonight as =0Abeing two of the hi=
ghlights when the music really SOARED.  Not =0Asurprisingly, a third encore=

ich escapes me for the mo=
ment.  All in =0Aall: wonderful.  I=92m looking forward to Edinburgh with e=
ager anticipation =0A(Newcastle and Middlesbrough being inaccessible to me =
due to work!).

nobody is blaming Guernica for paying her/his hard earned cash for an
item s/he really wants.  or for anything at all, for that matter.  the
point is simple, and simply this:  somebody is making big bucks from
trafficking in goods they have no right to. 4ad isnt making money from
it. The artists arent receiving any royalties from it (it=promotional
samplers).  And in a better world, the profit motive would be constantly
checked by a desire to help one's fellow man.  like helping a fellow
listie get something they'd really like.  that's it.

It is in general perfectly legal to resell CDs or anything else as long
as duplicates aren't made. As with any other good the manufacturer gets
his/her bux on the first sale. When we sold our '91 Prelude last fall
Honda didn't make any money on the deal, nor should they have. They
already got our bux in '91.
Now, I grant that promos have "not for resale" stamped on them. I don't
think these have any legal force behind them -- the most they can do is
stop sending you any more promos if they find out you've been selling
them. And of course someone who receives a promo second hand is under no
compunctions whatsoever. By then it's strictly "the price of an item is
exactly what someone is willing to pay for it." If you have several
people who want to buy some item, I don't know what fairer criteria to
use to decide which one gets it. Any ideas?

I don't think auctions are 'fair' by any means.  The item just goes to the
person who has the most money (at least the most with which a person can
buy that item).  What about people who can't afford such item or is in a
difficult position to acquire it (like not living in the same country as
the seller)?  That doesn't mean they want it any less than the person
shelling out big money for it.

I always thought a lottery was a fair way of doing business, as long as you're
not interested in gouging the buyer.  It could be something as simple as
'pick a number between 1-100' or you could set something up a little more
elaborate.  Of course, this type of system means nothing to the person who
is only out to make a buck or people who feel they should be compensasted
for providing a 'service.'

Subject: Rollerskate Skinnny


The new album by Rollerskate Skinny is either out now,
or will be very soon, and is entitled "Horsedrawn Wishes".
The departure of Jimi Shields seems not to have mattered
much at all, since this album is every bit as quirky,
noisy, and just plain jaw-dropping-on-the-floor brilliant
as their debut album "Shoulder Voices". It actually goes
BEYOND my expectations, completely fulfilling my dreams
for another near perfect album. When's the last time
THAT happened?! Bands either have their sophomore slump
with crappy material or they decide to completely rework their
sound thereby alienating their fan base. But this second
album shows none of that. If anything it's better and more
consistent than the first, and is as much a work of genius
as Home Is In Your Head (HNIA), D.I. Go Pop (Disco Inferno)
or Skipper (Daniel Figgis) [and, if you can believe this,
has similar elements from all three of these bands].

To give you some idea what Rollerskate Skinny is all about,
I'll post my review from a few issues ago, when I have it
handy. They're compared frequently to Mercury Rev.

If you check the liner notes to Livonia, they thank Damian Lang and he
appears courtesy of Elvis Hitler - Restless records, which leads me to
believe they are still togeather as of '90.  Pretty Scary.  I risked
US$1.99 on Disgraceland, but I never really listen to it, just kinda like

Subject: Tarnation live in Amsterdam


I've been to a Tarnation concert in Amsterdam yesterday. First time I saw
the faces behind the music. They've got many fans over here. About twenty.
The other twenty people in the audience were friends and family of the
worst support act ever (I can't remember the name but they were playing
cheap country covers whith a bad american accent - cause they were Dutch)

So I could say it was just like Tarnation was playing in my living room...
I liked the concert, a lot of non-gentle creatures songs. The bass-player
looked just like he could fell asleep at any time.

In a few weeks Bel Canto is playing at the same location (should I go?)

Hmmm, like the way that the Picasso estate makes a percentage of each and
every resale of each and every piece that Pablo every created.  Or possibly
the little dividends that are credited to each and every descendant of the
Ming dynasty for each vase that is sold at Christie's.

Let's face it:  Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay.
