Somebody correct me on the exact location, but I think Stephin Merritt
(morose genius who *is* the Magnetic Fields) hails from Boston or somewhere
in the New England area. I think he currently resides in New York, and he's
about as American as Jon Bon Jovi. :) Sorry, that's a bad example, but
then so is John Mellencamp (whose backing band at one time featured our
favorite geek girl, Lisa Germano - requisite 4AD mention).
Anyway, less trainspotting and more speculation, but I think the Magnetic
Fields sound has more to do with folks like Orchestral Manoevres in the
Dark, Kraftwerk, Brian Wilson, and perhaps even touches of Patsy Cline and
Joy Division, than with any overt French pop influences, but that's based
entirely on my Anglo-American pop leanings.
There are at least five Magnetic Fields albums - 'Distant Plastic Trees' and
'The Wayward Bus' (both recently re-released Stateside on Merge), 'Holiday'
(on Feels Good All Over), 'Charm of the Highway Strip', and 'Get Lost' (both
on Merge). And they are all quite excellent. There are also a couple of 7"
singles on the Harriet label. And then there's the sadly overlooked 6ths
album, which is a whole 'nother story in itself.

Andrew Beaujon, I think, was once a member of Eggs, in which Rob

Perception is 99% of reality. As long as the corporate masters behind
Blockbuster can convey to the public that they are keeping "filth" from
their rental shelves, they are establishing themselves as providers of
"good, healthy, family-oriented entertainment," and for those easily scared
sheep that comprise our unwashed mainstream masses, that's the sort of
reassurance that they crave (as long as they can find their fave Steven
Seagal flicks). The bastards.
>Blockbuster clearly thinks they're more important than they are. Sadly,
>Hollywood is stupid enough to think so too.
Bollockbuster does surely have an overinflated self-image. The fact that
they recently hosted a film and music awards ceremony says something about
the ridiculous amount of clout they (think that they) hold over the
entertainment industry.
Yet at the same time, about a year or so ago, the suits and Bollockbuster
and some other corporate monolith decided that they'd put together a
hardwired music distribution system that would completely bypass all the
middlemen between the labels and their stores by electronically transmitting
the contents of CDs and creating the discs on-demand on-site. The major
distributors had a royal fit and put the whole thing on ice by promising
holy hell on Blockbuster Music. So, the Corporate Ogre meets its match, but
it's sadly being checked by another Corporate Ogre.
And at the same time, we're also seeing a tumorous growth of megachains like
Borders Books, Planet Music, Inedible Universe, Best Buy, etc. that is
slowly consolidating sources of entertainment media - books, CD's, whatnot -
into that seemingly inevitable single-source implosion. So where does that
leave the little guys, let alone the (wishfully) independent-minded consumer?...
Oh, never mind, this is starting to sound more like a chris-mcnet discussion....

==========================================
It's tough living in this consumer oriented world.
If you really want to get pessimistic/depressed about this
corp.-overtaking of anything called "art" you should read
"Variations on a Theme Park" edited by Michael Sorkin.
It's a collection of essays about architecture and how
it separates us. A larger theme of the book, though, is
how American consumerism is permeating/feeding on every part
of the world. Instead of going to a mall in Princeton, NJ
that's the same as the one in Salt Lake City, Utah, you can go
to one in Mexico City or Tokyo that are virtually the same.
Wherever you go, it's all the same. Cultural differences
are slowly disappearing world-wide via consumerism.
We're all united by the brand of jeans we wear and soda we drink.
And as the poster above alluded to, we're getting all our "art" from
the same sources, which makes distribution of music/text/images
over the Net an exciting way for artists to get their work out there.
But then, what happens when we're ordering our
music and movies over broadband networks 5 to 10 years from now
that are owned by TCI, Time-Warner, Comcast etc.?
Black market video/cd manufacturing will flourish! Yes!
You might want to check out Fringeware for some
cool, out of the way stuff: http://www.fringeware.com
Or the Whole Earth Review is cool too:
If the local Sam Goody just isn't cutting it,
and you're thinking of trying ordering music online,
I've had good results with CDconnection (huge selection,
good prices, speedy delivery in the U.S.).
Telnet to cdconnection.com.
Thank goodness I didn't have net access in high school
or my paltry pay check from McHeartAttack would

would have been _really_ pissed!

Eek, we had a big flamewar on the topic of Blockbuster a year or two ago.
At the time there was someone on the list from the Florida homeland of
Blockbuster who went to great lengths to defend it against all comers.
I don't think the debate really went anywhere, and it got really
tiresome. I'd hate to see it repeated...

the new york/boston region, although their drummer is currently attending
uc berkeley. my band just opened for them last week in boston and they put
on an excellent show(minus the drummer and therefore minus the female
backing vocals). i met sam the cello player and he was a very nice and
interesting person. i didn't hold conversation with the other members, but
they were friendly and had a great sense of humor.
you should really check them out if they come to your town. really

Unsbuscribe in four easy steps:
A. Surf to: http://www.mooseyard.com/Jens/4AD_FAQ.html
B. Read it
C. Unsubscribe yourself
D. Have a nice day (in your words: FUCK OFF!!!)
If you don't have a web account:
-----------------------------
mail in daily

The body should contain a ListServ command:
To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF 4AD-L
To get mail in daily-digest form: SET 4AD-L DIGEST
To put mail on hold: SET 4AD-L NOMAIL
To return to getting mail, one message at a time: SET 4AD-L MAIL
To receive copies of your own messages: SET 4AD-L REPRO
To not receive copies of your own messages: SET 4AD-L NOREPRO
For full details, consult the ListServ message you got when you first
subscribed.
message is not the same as
the address you subscribed with, i.e. if your mail system has been tweaked
slightly since you
subscribed. Here's what you do next, courtesy of Dr Bruce Scott:
1.Send mail to the listserver with no subject line, and the single
line review 4AD-L in the
body.
2.You will get a file back with the list of 4AD-L subscribers. Search
that list for your name
to find out what address you originally subscribed under.
3.If that address is still your current address, send another message
to the above listserv
address, no subject line, with the single line signoff 4AD-L in the
body.
4.If that address is not your current address, you can get your sysop
to send the
unsubscribe command for you. You need the node administrator (your
sysop) to use the
single line command (as above)
for username signoff 4AD-L
This type of command must be sent from user@node, where user is
maint, postmast, or
postmaster.
5.Another option, for those that use a POP mail client such as Eudora
or Netscape to read
their mail, is to alter the "return address" setting to match the
old address under which
you're subscribed, and then send another signoff command from the
faked return
address. Don't forget to change the return address back afterwards.
6.If you don't have the ability to forge a return address (probably
not if you read mail from
a Unix shell account) you may know someone who does; in that case
they can do the
previous step for you by temporarily changing their return address
to be your
subscription address. The response from the listserv will come back
to you, of course, not
them, since they're pretending to be you.
7.For further information on listserv commands, send mail to the
listserv address with the
single line info refcard.
been very busy of late

all other possibilities

unsubscribe-me-dammit
broadcast to whip people up to a hot flaming lather.

>Nice article on 'twins and fontana relationship, marketing plan for
>milk and kisses, on the web at: http://www.dotmusic.com/MWtalenttwins.html
Thanks. And here it is... (without the nice picture)
-----------------------------------------
THE COCTEAU TWINS: Settling In With Fontana
The transition from independent to major label isn't always a smooth one.
The Cocteau Twins discovered as much when the trio - vocalist Elizabeth
Fraser, guitarist Robin Guthrie and bassist Simon Raymonde - left 4AD after
their sixth album, 1990's Heaven Or Las Vegas, and settled at Dave Bates'
Fontana imprint at Phonogram, where they released the Four Calendar Cafe
album in 1993.
Having just released two new EPs - the ambient-based Otherness and the
acoustic-based Twinlights - and with a new album, Milk And Kisses, ready
for release in January next year, the band can not only bask in artistic
contentment, but reflect on how the relationship with Fontana has improved
for both parties.
The reason the Cocteaus left 4AD, Fraser says, was that the relationship
had become too much like a family. "Everyone was super-sensitive, which
wasn't healthy," she says.
Part of the attraction of Fontana was that the band could take a more
distanced approach - "like, 'here's the record, let's put it out'," as
Raymonde puts it. But the reality of situation didn't quite match up to
expectations.
"Neither party really knew what to make of each other at first, which was
as much our fault as we're not very articulate about what we want," he
says.
For a band that has always been cult favourites on the indie circuit, the
transition to major label success has been a slow one. With each album, the
Cocteau Twins' lush, layered sounds have matured gracefully to the point
that their rich, delicate guitar and vocal-led songs now appeal to a wider
audience. But at the same time, hit singles have not come easy.
After touring with the Four Calendar Cafe album, the group were keen to get
back into the studio and get a new record out. Milk And Kisses was recorded
in Brittany and the band's own Spetember Sound Studios in Twickenham.
It took them little over two months to complete - an unusually short time
for such perfectionists.
As Dave Bates sees it, album sales are directly linked to singles success,
and he admits he signed The Cocteau Twins, not just because he adored their
music, but because he wanted to break the band beyond their established
circle of fans.
"With a little extra effort from a label and the band, we could move them
on to another level," he says. "But I understand there was a discomfort
between wanting to achieve more and the things needed to do that."
Both parties now agree that the channels of communication are more open.
For instance, Raymonde says Fontana has accepted the band's desire to
release two comparatively uncommercial EPs.
"We're trying to say, 'that's how the business works for you over there,
but not for us, so here's two EPs, which probably won't qualify for charts
because they're too long, but this is our little bit and we'll play your
game for a couple of weeks when you put this out'."
According to Fraser, the acoustic EP was recorded during the making of Milk
And Kisses while the ambient EP (recorded with Mark Clifford of ambient
experimentalists Seefeel) was started after the album was finished. "For
some reason, it made sense to us to make the first new move with the EPs
rather than the album itself," she says.
Raymonde adds, "We just felt comfortable enough to experiment in different
ways, and EPs are a perfect length for that." In return, he says, the band
will promote a single off the album, of which there are at least three up
for consideration.
Milk And Kisses follows the same song-based, poppy trajectory that Fraser,
Raymonde and Guthrie started with 1988's Blue Bell Knoll, though Raymonde
says this time they wrote and played more as a band.
Bates firmly believes that the album returns to the standard of Heaven Or
Las Vegas, which he felt was the Cocteaus' all-time best.
As for playing live, the band maintain that they don't want to tour again
in the manner of their last seven-month outing which featured added
musicians.
"We've no desire to do the bog-standard rock theatres or toilet-type of
clubs again, or spend that amount of time away from home," says Raymonde.
"We're thinking of doing a show with different stages in the evening, and
incorporating all the new records, with just the three of us and a drummer
again."
The band have also fulfilled a long-standing wish to make a short film that
they hope will achieve more than just a standard promo clip.
The eight-minute film focuses on a couple of the acoustic songs, fusing
typography and imagery.
"We think it's brilliant," says Raymonde. "I'm currently trying to get it
converted to 35mm and get it put on in the cinema, though people don't seem
to see it as anything other than a promo."
Given the band and Fontana's success in overcoming obstacles, the Cocteaus
might well be up there on the cinema screen in 1996 as well as on the radio
and the record player.

They are 2/3rds of a group called Shelleyan Orphan, who were for a
while,at least, on Rough Trade. They have three lps that i know of:
hellaborine
century flower
humroot
The out of print 'hellaborine' is my personal favorite. Took a good five
years of wading thru used cd bins to find it, and well worth it.
The opening track, entitled 'southern bess', is in my top ten fer sher.
So i highly recommend you checking them out. Century flower is also
fantastic. I was lucky enough to first discover S.O. when they opened up
for The Cure on the Prayer (Disintegration) Tour. They were then
promoting Century Flower. Awesome voice performance live.
p.s. Does anybody have a tape of S.O. live that they would be willing to
trade for??

It is true that the stephen merrit, the creative force behind the
magnetic fields is american, and a bostonian no less.
But on the subject of French music, when I was in France, I went
to the FNAC, their version of Tower Records, and heard a wonderful
band called Kat Onoma. Subscribers to this list or the dreampop
list should really check them out. They have a very haunting
quality and they sing in heavily accented English. It's a marriage
between VU and Hector Zazou.
In general, however, I've found that most French pop falls into
the thislisty pigeonhole for better or for worse. The vocal quality
of acts such as Jean-Louis Murat, Serge Gainsbourg, Francoise Hardy,
and even Vanessa Paradis resemble the vocal qualities of some of our
favorite domestic alternative acts.

Yes, I should, but I don't. I had a listen to it at
the store recently, and ended up not getting it, so I must not
have liked it. I think it struck me as too 'easy listening',
based on maybe a minute's worth or music, so don't believe a word

Here's another Kristin vs. Kristen note, although
this time I'm not sure of the correct spelling:
McCarrick or McGarrick? 'C' or 'G'?
I honestly think I've seen it spelled both ways on
different 4AD releases, but let's check....
Well, it seems it really is McCarrick, as I found in
Strings, Blood, Filigree and Shadow, and the AVAM poster.
So there you have it. By the way, it was wonderful to see
him at AVAM with Kristin Hersh. I've got a weakness for
cellos and string arrangements so he's been a bit of a hero of mine.

in the notes to 'blood'. It doesnt have any info at all as to where
the rutowskis come from....
but hell, don't disregard the recommendation. S.O. is worth checking out!

Martin McCarrick played cello on Kristen Hersh's solo acoustic tour for
'Hips and Makers'. I saw one of the shows at a church in London.
It was one of my favourite gigs ever.

The KOS cd is called "Hope". It could be classified as easy
listening, but her voice on the song "Walk Away" makes it worth having.

To whom it may concern (i.e. all interested parties who've inquired),
Last week, I mistakenly posted a private reply to hk regarding a possible
Fisher-Price Pixelvision camera for purchase. I have since received many,
many offers.
The camera in question actually belongs to a friend of mine who was actually
toying with the idea of selling it. He has since changed his mind.
Sorry for the inconvenience to all interested parties and very sorry for the
inconvenience to all non-interested parties who've had to put up with the
very few lists posts (incl. this one) regarding this.
Bye-bye,
Roy

due to my newfound search for being a Webee, i can also start on
my own twisted version of a hnia web page..and if i can find someone
to help with das photos, everyone can have the strange pleasure
of looking at my concert pix...warren with the ugly deck shoes...
ian masters looking distressingly fragile...karin oliver appearing
to be dressed for a clam bake...plus special avam photos of ivo
smoking outside Aron's Records and brendan perry crooning on a
stool w/his 12 string.
oh yeah, then there's also me. and if you're lucky, i'll take a
picture of the ankle tat i'm getting tomorrow... {whoopee}.
anyhoo, any input as to what i should and shouldn't include on a
band related site is mucho appreciated. i'll get a preliminary
test page sort of thing going in a few days.

More than that, even. The current lineup is:
Tim = English
Laetitia = French
Morgane = French
Mary = Australian
Duncan = English
David = American
so that's two-sixths French, two-sixths English, one-sixth Australian and
one-sixth American. Before that, they were only one-fifth French. It must be
hell getting visas for a world tour...

I actually saw w & c last night at the Metro in Chicago (free show). It
was probably the most beautiful show I have ever seen. They said that
they had several singles for sale, and mentioned putting an album out in
April. Supposedly they played a bunch of new stuff. I know they have an
album out on Ba Da Bing! Records called "Portal". It is sooooo great,
but I admit that I like them live so much better. And Windy, I think,
works at the Record Collector in Livonia, so maybe she has some ties with
Warren Defever. I'm just curious. Also, if you happen to order anything
from Ba Da Bing! (the "Follow the Bouncing Ball" comp., with Jessamine,
Receptionists, Holiday Flyer, Stratotanker, Babytooth, and others, or
Windy and Carl CD) be sure to order the first Ba Da Bing! 7" from a
little band called Salteen. They broke up, but Ben the guitarist owns
BDB! and Beth the singer/guitarist is in a band called Raze77, which
should have something out on BDB! soon, and a band called Aerodrome,
which is just her and ME! Woo hoo! (cheap plug). Anyway, I kind of went
off on a tangent, but check out all this shit...its SOOOOOOO good.

G'day,
I've just bought a CD by a band called "bluetile lounge", who hail from
Perth, Western Australia. The CD is called "lowercase", and is similar in
sound to the second Red House Painter's CD (the one with the
rollercoaster on the cover). By that I mean, the songs are all slow,
long, and sparse - kind of like the RHP songs "Mother", "Drop",
"Funhouse", etc. In fact, one song on the CD, called "Ambered", is very
similar to RHP's "Mother", in that it starts as a gentle, sparse tune,
and builds up to an electric cacophony at the end.
The sound on the CD is not very good - and the vocals are pretty well
submerged in the mix. The interesting thing is that the CD is distributed
in the States by Summershine, which is subsidiary of Subpop (I think). I
don't know of any other Australian bands with this kind of distribution,
especially one that doesn't play the kind of Seattle grunge normally
associated with Subpop (IMHO).
Anyway, if you like the Red House Painter's brand of long-slow-sparse,
then this CD may be of interest. I wouldn't rush out and buy it -- the
sound quality is bad. But if it is distributed via Subpop, then it may be
around in the States. If so, have a listen.
Cheers,
Geoff.

I'm very curious about this album. I'd like to solicit enough description,
if possible, to let me know whether to go out & buy it or not. I'll try and
make my question session concise (I'd be more articulate and eloquent, but I
don't have much time to post right now):
I was "raised on" early CT and absolutely loved them until Heaven Or Las
Vegas, which I only liked. I don't like Four Calendar Cafe. I think
Twinlights is OK. I _adore the hell out of_ Otherness. Possibly because Mark
Clifford of Seefeel was involved, and I adore Seefeel.
It M&K more abstract, a la Otherness (or Seefeel), or like HoLV/FCC/TL?
Much thanks for any info (cc to my personal address pls.) and here's
fingers-crossing that CT are back in true form...
