I've been thinking about the sad excuse for a name that "post-rock" is,
and the need for a better name. So how'bout we call the

a semi-newish interview with lisa germano about lots of things;
sorry it took me this long to type it in, i just found it in a pile of shite.
Lisa Germano-Hometown Girl
Bloomington Voice
Margie Ketchum
October 19-26, 1995
For a hometown girl, Lisa Germano keeps a pretty low profile
around here. But this Friday night, she makes a rare Bloomington
appearance, playing at the Second Story for a benefit for Middle Way
House. Also on the bill are Sue Medley and Kim Fox.
Germano, first known for playing violin behind John Mellencamp,
has gained much critical acclaim in her solo career. She released her
debut, 'On the Way Down from the Moon Palace', on her own label, then
signed with Capitol Records and put out 'Happiness'. She switched to the
4AD label, and they rereleased that one, then followed up with her most
recent, 'Geek the Girl'. A new disc is due out sometime next spring, says
Germano. "I thought it was going to be out in February, so it seems
longer to me," she says. "But we're just not quite done with it. We've
done most of it in Bloomington, using Paul Mahern, and we tracked it at
my house, used Kenny Aronoff on drums and Glenn Hicks, who plays in El
Nino, and his brother.
-(ed. Aronoff is a local studio drummer extraordinaire for mellencamp and
-just about everyone else at one time or another... the brothers Hicks
-are in El Nino, a local noisy pop band with one damned incredible
-guitarist! look for their CD nationally in late april on flat earth
-records where lisa germano makes a guest appearance.
-Paul Mahern also pruduced most of the El Nino album, and Ed Ackerson
-of minneapolis Polara fame did the other tracks...)
And we just tracked it with some Bloomington people and pretty much got
it done there. But I came out here to try to get some new blood in head
to see if I'm on the right track. You know, getting away from home
sometimes, it's good to go back and look at what you've done."
The forthcoming release reflects a shift in perspective from Geek
the Girl. "We've been trying to make it not so negative," says Germano.
"The last one- in the long run, to me it's a positive record, but it's a
really sad record. This one isn't really sad; it's more like the person
writing it is a stronger person. Instead of a really weak person, the
person writing it is a little more on the outside looking at what
happened or remembering something. It's a little more distant. Geek the
Girl was so, deep-down, this person is really fucked up. This next record
is like, I'm not fucked up anymore, but look at the stupid things you
still do, and you still have to change. It's mostly about relationships
instead of about inner turmoil. I think I'm going to call it 'The Love
Circus', but I'm not sure. I've liked it for a long time, but then Lenny
Kravitz just came out with a record called 'The Circus' or 'Rock'n'Roll
Circus' or something, and that just bugs me. Everybody tells me I
shouldn't care at all, but I had this title like in May."
Germano is trying to give up a bit of control to Mahern on the
new album, she says. "When Paul and I first turned in kind of a rough
version of what we were doing, 4AD liked it, and they could tell the
songs were saying something different, but they said it sounded a little
too much like Geek the Girl," says Germano. "Not too much like 'we won't
put it out,' but like 'it would be cool if you could stretch a little
further for your own sake so you don't keep putting out the same record.'
That's my fault, because Paul kept trying to make things just a little
more poppy and a little more light, but he let me do what i wanted to do
on it. So it kept ending up being more like the last record. So I've been
trying to let Paul do more and give him more control. I did the last
record pretty much by myself. He's been so cool about letting me do what
I want, but when he does what he wants, it's actually better. So I've
been trying to let him take a little more control."
Her move from Capitol to 4AD two years ago resulted in more
creative and artistic freedom, evidence by the rerelease of Happiness.
The second version of the disc feels like a whole different album,
presumably the one that Germano wanted to make the first time around.
"You know, it's not really that different," she says. "What's mostly
different is just the sequence. There's two or three different mixes, but
I kept fighting with Capitol and trying to tell them taht I felt like the
sequence would make it feel a different way, and they just wouldn't let
me do it. It's amazing how many people think that the whole record is
mixed over or something. It's really just the sequence. 4AD is cooler
because they trust you. They'll give you some advice, but they don't put
you in a corner like a lot of record companies who say, 'Well, you have
to do that or we're not going to push your record.' 4AD just goes, 'Well,
I think this would be a cool idea, so think about it.' If you come back
and say, 'I did think about it and I don't think so,' they don't care.
They like to work with you."
She says her albums don't sell great numbers, but the critics
love her. Her music is often not very radio-friendly, and she doesn't do
a lot of feel-good songs. Instead, she digs down deep to pour out
everything she has, producing intensely personal, intimate songs. "I
really don't know yet, or I don't know if I ever will, how to write about
other people." says Germano. "I can see something that happens to
somebody else, and it might affect me, but I can't really write a song
about it unless I go, 'whoa, I did that,' or 'God, I didn't realize I did
that.' Like I see someone else doing it and now I realize that I'm doing
it too."
She says the next album deals more with relationships, and she
talks about those on a very personal level. "There's one about like after
you've broken up with this person, you realize that you liked it when you
were kind of treated badly, and you liked it when you were not
necessarily beat up - it doesn't really go that far - it's just kind of
like after it's over, you realize that you stayed in it because you
actually liked feeling bad because you didn't love yourself enough. I
guess I don't like to quite make a statement of, 'that's about domestic
violence,' because to me it was just more about a pretty bad relationship
that I didn't even know was so bad until I was out of it. Then you think
back and go, 'God, I could have gotten out of that a lot sooner had i
realized that I was kind of choosing to be there.' A lot of times you
stay in relationship for reasons that you don't know why; it's like
they're horrible and they don't work, but you can't leave."
Perhaps a fitting tune for Friday's benefit, for Domestic
Violence Awareness Month. Cover is six dollars, and it goes to Middle Way
House, so go to Second Story and make a difference.

I just returned from a weekend trip to Prague, during which I saw Sonic
Youth with Stereolab opening.
This was my first time seeing Stereolab, and all I have to say is they
were more than incredible... it was an ethereal experience.
So, in response to the deluge of questions of Stereolab albums... I would
highly recommend first spending the money for a cd on one of their
concerts if at all possible...
cheers!

The thing that makes this exercise (mostly) pointless is that these bands
already *have* record deals (yeah, I know, they could be dropped, but that
could happen on 4AD too).
I'm surprised no one suggested "my own band" or "my friend's band"...

Its been awhile (summertime) since i last saw/heard it but there was a VW
commercial with Moonpools and Catepillars singing 'Hear'.
chorus to that song definitely has a lot of heeeeeear in it.
in any case, you can call up volkswagon...their operators have a list

in my mailbox. sorry it has taken so long, but...)
well...just got my copy of cmj new music and it has some (semi)listie
things...
o short article on the brothers quay (been mentioned)
o bad review of cocteau twin's "milk and kisses"...can hardly wait
to hear it...
o good review of love and rockets "sweet f & a"...hmmm...
o cover article about "guided by voices"...i never fully understand
why they are considered listie, but...
and on the cd
o mark eitzel (southend on sea)
o guided by voices (the official ironman rally song)
o pee shy (little dudes) - nice accordian and
clarinet...wonderfully twisted lyrics...what does their other stuff
sound like?
o gillian welch (paper wings) - kinda country...kinda
vibe...definitely laid back
o bel canto (rumor) - well, i was disappointed (as predicted my
other listies). seemed pretty formula synth+drum machine+vocal combo.
not as interesting as their earlier albums. nice beat, though.
is the rest of the album *really* like this? :(
o husikesque (bad head day) - i wasn't going to put this one in,
but people have been talking about them. after a couple listens to
this track, i'm not as excited as i hear i should be. am i
missing something? is the album more interesting, as a whole?

Apparently it's all about charting in the UK--even though they are
two eps they are counted as only one for the sales charts. So... if
you buy both tishbite eps that counts as two tishbite eps being sold,
not one tishbite 1 ep and one tishbite 2 ep. All pretty stupid, if
you ask me.

It's a phenomenon that's become commonplace now here in the UK. It's all down to
chart regulations. The maximum number of formats for a single to be eligible for
the chart is three. Obviously, if you include the same tracks on all formats
then nobody but the most fanatical follower will buy more than one. If, however,
you include different songs on each, then many more people will buy more than
one of the discs. Thus, greater sales and a higher chart position. I think the
US singles chart is airplay-based (correct me if I'm wrong), but in the UK it's
100% sales based, so you could perhaps double first week sales, seriously
increase chart position, and thus increase band profile by this technique. Sure
it's a cynical marketing ploy, especially if you have to pay import prices. I
don't mind so much in cases like Belly's 'Seal My Fate' where the versions of
the song on CD's one and two were different, or Massive Attack where you have
about 8 mixes in total, but in the case of Tishbite, there were only three
tracks on each disc, one of which will be on the LP - so you're paying for four
songs what you would normally pay for eight.
In a perfect world, singles would be singles, and LPs would be LPs with no
duplication whatsoever. Unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world, but a
capitalist one.
I guess 4AD's argument would be that if they don't do it when everybody else is,
then they'd have to sell twice as many copies as everybody else to obtain a
similar chart placing. But then that would be everybody's argument. It's a
bummer, to be sure.

I'm not fond of the trend of double spending for a double single, but I
AM VERY FOND of having 12 bsides of current lush material that I like a
little more than the album itself. double singles maybe a little
annoying, but at least they allow bands to get more material out in public.
you know the old saying, If you dont like it dont buy it.

well, we sent a demo to 4ad and got it back a week later with a letter

The two-part single thing came about because, in the UK, singles
are not allowed to chart on the singles chart if they are over a certain
length.
(It makes sense to me....an album is an album, a single is
a single, an ep is an ep and one can't very well have 12-track albums
calling themselves singles and placing on the singles chart.)
So if there is over a certain amount of music (remixes or b-sides)
an artist wants released in support of a single, then a two-part single
is released. Yeah, it's marketing, but so is album cover art.
The A-side is included on both parts because it wouldn't make much
sense to release a "Tishbite" Single - Part Two without the song "Tishbite"
on it. (Some acts -like Massive Attack or Pet Shop Boys- will release a
radio edit or radio remix as the a-side of the second part of the single.)
(And the only time I have felt an act compromised themselves for
these rules is when Orbital trimmed (with a fade) 40 seconds off of
"Lush (Underworld)" so it would fit in at under 40 minutes - as an ep.

Someone mentioned that a two volume Brothers Quay compilation had been released
on laserdisc by Voyager, but didn't have the details. I checked out their site
The Brothers Quay: Animation Survey
vol. 1: Street of Crocodiles, The Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer 1993 c 34 min CAV 1
disc V1074L $49.95
vol. 2: The Epic of Gilgamesh, Rehearsals for Extinct Anatomies, Nocturnal
Artificialia 1993 c 55 min CAV 1 disc V1078L $49.95
Note that it isn't a ripoff since the CAV format only holds 30 min to a side, an
animation fans will want to take advantage of the frame-by-frame
capabilities (though there's a still a lot of empty space on the first disc, and
the prices could have been a bit cheaper). You can order direct from Voyager,
though the Criterion Collection is pretty widely distributed (at least in the US
)
so you may be able to get it at a local store as well.
AND
I was shocked and delighted to find they're also releasing "Why has Bodhi Dharma
left for the East?" a gorgeous Zen film from 1991. I'm sure many of you would
enjoy it -- especially those who've admired "Baraka", which shares some of its
concerns -- though "WHBDLFTE?" goes about exploring them in a much different,
quieter, and, IMHO, more profound way. Well worth seeing.

Actually *rumour* is one of the stinkiest choices for the single (unless they
want to market themselves as "normal") and most of the songs are better than
this. BUT keep in mind that only one or maybe two songs would NOT stick out
like a big red sore thumb on any previous BC album. Don't expect the old Bel
Canto (whatever that means) but it's definately worth checking out on it's own
merits.

Has anyone noticed that the new Vienetta advert uses This Mortal Coil's
Sixteen Days as the sound backdrop?
Just wondering.

transplant to minneapolis. the 'accents' aren't nearly as nasty as
most of the people. forget the crap about minnesota nice, in fact
people are so cold here, i'm moving to colorado where I went to high
school. i'm sure minnesota could care less and i will be a happier
person as well. the 'accents' are pretty funny although Fargo was a
really over-emphasized. cheers, euthelene who's outta here in a year,

Wow... this is a GREAT tape.
The Lush songs are no surprise. Nor is Mojave3's Where is the Love.
Mercy, tho, live at KCRW is phenomenal. The Scheer songs are typical Scheer.
You make your own opinion, I personally like them.
It's the second side that is so fantastic. HNIA's ESP Summer is better
than 90% of mouth by mouth. It is more reminiscent, I think of home is
in your head. Lisa Germano's Small Heads is great. I keep saying, her
new album is her best work to date. Halfway to Madness, by Tarnation is
a different recording than the version on the album. I like the album
version better. The Devil is a typical Heidi Berry song and you all
should be more than familiar with the Amps' Pacer by now. I don't know
how or when these will be available, but I think it's much better than
the last two samplers.... by far. Check it out if you get a chance.

Kennedy Cosker inspires in me a long-dormant urge to flame. So there.

To increase their UK chart position, as has already been described to
death.

No, since both of them have deals with major record labels. "Independent"
just describes whether the record label is owned by one of the Big Six
record companies (Sony, Warner, etc.)

I'll give you a clue: Even the tiniest record company strives for pretty
(at least "effective") packaging and sales. Ask Brant whether Dewdrops
pays attention to packaging and makes an effort to sell their products.

How disgusting to make money! I'm sure when you get out of college you're
not going to try and do anything that crass. I imagine your own money
arrives untainted in tasteful envelopes sent by your parents?

> simultaneous releases!
Explain to me how it wastes any plastic to fill a CD 20% full as opposed
to 15% full. They could have put the song on each CD another eight times
and not have wasted any plastic.

Hi,
I saw this post, and I was wondering what kind of a supply you have. I
don't have any money right now (trying to pay off a car stereo - ugh!), but
I'd really like an AVAM shirt and some posters (I'll have to think about
which ones). I know it's over a year old, but would you be able to get an
HNIA "Mouth by Mouth" poster? And this is a longshot, but how about a TMC
"Filigree and Shadow" poster?
Thanks,
Jake
