I think the most level headed thing to keep in mind is
what Ivo said in the AP interview: if 4AD isn't giving you
what you want anymore, then look elsewhere. I think it's
part of human nature to idolize or worship things like individuals
or bands, and even record labels, making them larger than life,
giving them artificial guidelines in one's own mind of
what they're like and how they should behave, and revelling in
the fact that YOU know every little detail about them
because it makes YOU feel important, especially if there
is some small but fiercely dedicated following to pump up each
other's feelings of elitism. There's nothing wrong with being
a fan to a certain extent. Haven't we all been guilty of
many of these things? I know I have. It's fun to think you're
part of something and to show your appreciation. And who here
hasn't at one time or another considered themselves a little more
"connected" to the music world and maybe even a little "better"
than the average joe since you know what 4AD is and can
list a dozen or more of their bands? I don't think there
is really anything wrong with a certain amount of this.
It's when "fandom goes bad" that the troubles start. Maybe it
takes over a significant part of your life, and you start,
in essence, "wearing your Star Trek uniform out in public"
to stroke your over-inflated sense of self-importance.
You start to whine about every little (or big) change that
doesn't match your unrealistic, stone-carved tablets stating
"Ivo shalt not dump a band until they've worn out
their welcome" or "Ivo shalt not covet thy neighbor's slide guitar".
What matters most is that the person in charge still believes
in what he's doing and is doing the best he can. Some bitching
and moaning is inevitable and tolerable, but what it comes down
to is if you don't like the new direction your idols have taken,
then let them fall in your mind and look for new ones. Move on,
because they're not going to hold on to something they've outgrown
just because YOU want them to.

Hello everyone, I'm clearing out a lot of my records (especially 7"s) for
some needed extra money. The records are on various labels including
4AD, Slumberland, Independent Project, K, Sunday, SubPop and Simple
Machines, plus there are records by various bands such as Guided By
Voices, and other random stuff as well. It'll pretty much be on a first
come first serve basis, so act quick. The exception to this will be
w/the Independent Project "Archive Series" stuff...If someone wants to take
it all for the set "discount" price then that will take precedence over
people who want to order separate items. So, I'll wait until next Monday
to announce the situation w/that and who gets what.
Otherwise, w/everything else, if you're the first to request an item
then you'll be the one to get it (although "best offers" will be taken
into consideration...I don't really want this to work like an auction,
though). Just send a note to me reserving the item. Once you do that
I'll tell you if you're the first to reserve it, and if so I'll give you
the details on ordering. Also please be sure to reply to me and not the
list!
One final thing, shipping is $1 extra on any size order (in the U.S). This
is to give incentive for you to buy more than one item, plus it makes it more
worthwhile for me if someone only wants 1 $4 7" or something.
Okay, here goes... hope you find something you like!:

What other films, besides the trilogy and _The Double Life of Veronique_
did he direct? Those are his only films that I've seen, but I thought

Some news for us midwesterners -- the exquisite Lush/Mojave tour is to pass
through Chicago on (tentatively) May ninth. I had dinner with the label rep
tonight, so this should prove to be fairly accurate. It will also
definitely hit St. Louis, but I am ignorant of that date. When he gives me
a few more solid dates, I promise to post them.

he directed a series of shorter films based on the ten commandments (one for
each -- like the color trilogy.) i think one was rereleased as, "a short
film about killing," and another as "a short film about death," but i'm not
sure. i know he has a film called "a short film about killing," but i'm not
sure if it's one of those ten, or if it's a completely different film. as
for the second one, i'm less certain. i don't know if any of these have
been released on home video, but one of my best friends is a huge kieslowski
fan (i've only seen the trilogy, but those films are among my favorites.)
if you have the patience to look in the archives, i once posted part of an
interview with kieslowski, but maybe someone could repost it if they've
still got it (.mark.?)
well, that's all i know -- honest.

I've been recently informed that Shaving the Pavement will hit San Francisco
on 15 April (Monday) and tickets are $15. I think it's at the Fillmore.

two of the ones i've seen at a film festival in belgrade, yugoslavia many
many years ago were the short film about killing and a short film about
love. both quite excellent. (i'm not sure about what the titles may be in
english, but these are literal ones from polish). i also know he did a
series of short tv films on the 10 commandments. this was shown in poland
only, if i recall correctly.
it is a very sad thing that this (imho) film making genious has passed
away. but i guess he wouldn't have made any more films even if he lived
(or so he claimed). not that his death isn't tragic as it is....
take care,

alas, I tend to agree with you both. sort of the same crap they pulled with
Wolfie's "Funky Little Demons"...delaying it constantly...all in all, I think
TWP's "FLD's" was delayed 2 or 3 months.
what ticks me off even more is that I read the whole album (talking about
"Milk & Kisses" now) was finished well in advance of Twinlights and
Otherness. Hell, what you or I were to die in the next few days... then we'd
never get to hear it, just because some corporate bigot feels like releasing
Metal-lick-a's latest trash this week instead (not literally of course, but
you get the drift). Perhaps we should start some sort of massive writing
campaign...

'a short film about love' and 'a short film about killing' were both
extended versions of parts of 'the decalogue' (which has also been shown
on bbc2 over here, but not recently). other stuff includes lots of polish
tv films, initially documentaries (there's a long list on the inside of
my copy of '...veronique' but i doubt we'll ever get to see any of them).
apparently he'd just started work on another trilogy before he died,
ironically based on 'heaven', 'hell' and 'purgatory'.

A couple of people have already mentioned "A Short Film About Love"
and "A Short Film About Killing", which were expansions of
installments from the Dekalog. The only other film of his that I've
seen (and it's available on video in the US -- and elsewhere as well,
I would suppose) is "Camera Buff", a film about a guy who buys a 8mm
camera and the consequences (political, emotional) which ensue. It's
not bad, but completely different from his later work: there's much
less emphasis on visual beauty.

hello,
i have seen some of Kieslowski's films which were shown on Polish TV, including
the 'Decalogue' TV series, of which 'a short film about killing' and 'a short
film about love' are certainly excerpts. there were other films made earlier,
but actually he became famous only after "Decalogue".
'the double life of Veronique' marked a change in his style. the earlier films
are much less 'pop' and aesthetic, they are 100% morality and fate, but you
may easily find there his tendency to write complicated, mystical screenplays
out of everyday events. but do not expect large symphonic interludes or
arty images, they are very naturalistic and set in Polish pre-1989 reality,
i.e. they are all grey and very depressive. which is something thislisty people
might like, though.
one thing worth saying: i spoke to his friend who is a doctor and he said
that Kieslowski was an enormous smoker and a victim of this habit.

hk mentioned UI in his laundry list of current 'progressive' (lowercase
'p') bands. I recently read a short review of them in a Seattle music
paper and they sounded interesting -- as I recall, the review lumped them
in with 'post-rock'* along with Laika and Tortoise, and compared their
sound to Savage Republic and early Gang Of Four.
Could hk or somebody else elaborate a bit? I'd love to hear a review or
know something about the band...
* I think the name 'post-rock' is stupid, but like 'shoegazer' it seems
to be used to describe bands that I think are interesting, so overall it
seems a useful pigeonhole.

Ja, [I saw "Fargo" last night and am still in awe of the wacky Minnesota
accents] I was thinking of going into that but decided to be brief. The
question in my mind is whether current expansive styles of music owe a
direct debt to the '70s prog scene or whether they're just looking at the
same source material as the proggies did and deriving different things
from it.
I think one of the most valuable changes has been that, due to the
infinite levels of irony and self-satire introduced into rock during the
punk and new-wave days, it's become very difficult for bands to take
themselves as seriously as they once did. Part of the problem with prog
was how stultifyingly self-important some of those bands were (I'll point
out Yes and Tangerine Dream as some of the worst offenders.) Many current
'progressive' bands either keep tongue firmly in cheek (i.e. Stereolab)
or strip their sound and presentation down to a level that's serious but
not overblown (i.e. Rachel's, Labradford.)
Another improvement is that the choice of particular influences has
changed for the better. One of the major influences on the old prog music
was symphonic classical music. I have a particular dislike for bombastic
19th century symphonies and bands like ELP that tried shamelessly to ape
that style were even worse. Current bands appear to be influenced more by
Minimalism (Tim Gane of Stereolab has said that he was strongly
influenced by the distorted-organ sound of Steve Reich's early works,
Rachel's owe a strong debt to Philip Glass, and just about every ambient
outfit with a sequencer is working in territory Terry Riley pioneered.)
Prog is dead! Long live post-rock! ;-)

they start in vancouver, go down the west coast..
then do some dates in texas, new orleans..
then they go up the east coast..

and finish off in LA i think.
i' don't remember any of the specific dates though..

the 4ad info line has been updated with all the tour dates (no venues
though). An interesting thing, L.A. gets 2 dates; one near the beginning
(april 17th) and one at the end of the tour (may 17th). hmmm, I wonder what
that's all about. anyway, I was too slow to transcribe it all (or was it
just lazy?) I'll try to post 'em to the list if I get a chance but just in
case you *need* to know, the number is 310.535.1714

I have to disagree with the "mostly dead now" pronouncement. They may not
be heavy sellers, but there are a lot of prog bands out there nowadays.
The Musea label in France is doing an excellent job of reissuing classic
albums and Magna Carta and Kinesis in America, Voice Print in England, and
Mellow in Italy are releasing lots of new albums.
Some bands to look for: The Noisy Room aka TNR, Spock's Beard, Mastermind,
Anekdoten, Halloween, the non-metal Cathedral, Asgard, Landbrek, Ship Of
Fools, Omnia Opera, and Porcupine Tree.

ride (sort of)
can anybody out there tell me about pierre etoile (with an accent above the
first e in etoile)? i have "in the sun," on a compilation disc, and it's
pretty good, but i've never heard of this guy b4, so i have no idea what
else he's done or what it sounds like.
what's the us release date for emporer tomato ketchup?
somebody mentioned on the mbv list the other day that there's a new cheezy
snack out called "twisterellas" (like the ride song). i'm sure their
introduction to the market was timed to coincide with the release of the
equally-cheezy "tarantula." supposedly, they're two types of cheese (i
don't know which, i didn't see the ad) twisted together into some type of
string cheese product. tasty pop confection indeed.

You also need a Wintel box. Considering that Windoze-users account for

in a format the rest of us could use. Pretty please?

The only thing from UI that own is the 'Unlike - Remixes Volume 1' disc which, a
indicated by
its title, is a series of remixes by various third-wave producer/engineer types
f the stuff
that's been previously released as singles and EPs. So it's not a very fair pla
e to start, if
you're looking to get a measure of what the "UI sound" is.
My musical lexicon fails me completely when it comes to this UI disc. However,
think it
might be fair to say that the Tortoise comparison, while almost a reflexive knee
jerk, is not
an inaccurate one, as 'Unlike' and 'Millions Now Living Will Never Die' are almo
t
interchangeable in my disc player. Another point of reference is the band Doldr
ms who
released an album entitled 'The Secret Life of Machines' on VHF a short while ba
k. But then,
I bought all three albums within days of each other, so for me they all kinda ru
into each
other. Dunno about the Laika comparison, tho'.
For even more disinformation, try:
> * I think the name 'post-rock' is stupid, but like 'shoegazer' it seems
> to be used to describe bands that I think are interesting, so overall it

I agree - I'd say 'post-rock' is third in line for the most pathetically inane t
g invented by
a rock critic, right after 'foxcore' and 'wombadelic'. Anyway, it's kinda inter
sting to see
how that particular pigeonhole has migrated from its initial umbrella over a maj
rity of the
TooPure roster to hovering Damocles-esque over almost everything Thrill Jockey h
th released.

Just vivited The Record-X-Change in Southgate, MI where I picked up a copy of
the Pieter Nooten/Michael Brook "Sleeps with the Fishes" for only $4.99
Other deals they had:
"This Rimy River" only $24.99 they had 2 left
"Lonely is an Eyesore" mint(new) only $15.99 (the CD)
Belly "King" ltd. ed. book thingie.... i think this was $19.99
They had 3 copies of the ltd. ed. version of the Throwing Muses "University".
I think they all had different prices on them for some reason. (2 were in 1
part of the store while the other was in the front) 1 was stickered as
$12.99. I don't think any of them were still sealed.
If any of you are interested, I'm not sure if they do mail oreder or not, but

A strong second on Porcupine Tree...whether progressive or not. I
really enjoy their CD "The Sky Moves Sideways". I did notice the

Man, I seem to be following up on the mooses all day! :)
There's a web page somewhere (and God help me I don't have the URL handy anywher
) that has Time Baby 1
as one of them compressed audio files. Sounds nothing like 2 or 3, from what li
tle I heard.
I'd also second Jens' recommendation for 'Shot Forth Self Living,' a true living
example of a prime
near-static noise-pop album if there ever were one.

Pierre Etoile (Rock Star - geddit?) was the band that Damon Krukowski and Naomi
ang
formed (with some help from Shimmy-man Kramer) after Dean bailed Galaxie.
"In the Sun" is from a four-song EP that came out on Rough Trade UK three or fou
years
ago. I dunno about the rest of the EP, but there was an early version of "This
ar
Climbed Mt. Washington" which was later re-recorded for the first Damon and Naom
record.
Both songs are simply sublime, and Damon & Naomi are both sublime; however, it'
be even
more sublime if you can even find a damn copy of the aforementioned EP.

A few answers for you all. I hope you got the dates for Lush scheer and
Mojave 3. If they did not come through let me know and I will repost them.
Maybe the reason they are playing two dates in LA is because that is where
4AD is located. Upcoming music from 4AD...
His Name Is Alive "Stars on ESP" in June
scheer "Infliction" April 9
Dead Can Dance "Spiritchaser" in June
Heidi Berry "Miracle" in June
Lisa Germano "excerts from the Love Circus" In July
Throwing Muses "Limbo" in August
that's all for now
