In addition to many other things, Roy Burns had for sale:

So nice to see you've reduced the price from $10 on this one, but I
wonder what makes you think a used, domestic ep which is still in
print (I believe) and should cost new $5 or $6 is worth $7 (or $10
for that matter)?

I used to play "Rococo" from Aikea Guinea, and people always managed to
prance around. "From the Flagstones" also elicited strange swaying motions.
But I've seen people dancing to Dead Can Dance's " Xavier" as well as attempting
Michael Brook. Nothing stranger than watching people storming to Ministry and
Birthday Party and then suddenly applying brakes to sway to "Urbana".
I suppose if poeple *think* they've got the rhythm, they go for it..........

You can dance to anything, if you put your mind to it.
Casting my mind back to early 1992, I clearly recall the
audience moshing furiously and stagediving to, of all
things, Lush's performance of "Monochrome" at the T&C
(as it was then) in London.
Still, as to whether such activities could be considered
dancing is another can of worms entirely...

There are a couple of clubs in my home town (Jax, Fla) that used
to (when I lived there, at least) play several Cocteau Twins tunes
on a regular basis, that all generally elicited MUCH dancing.
"Wax and Wane", "Lorelei", "Carolyn's Fingers", "A Kissed Out
Red Floatboat", "Iceblink Luck", "Heaven or Las Vegas", and
"Bluebeard". I think I even got them to play "Because of Whirl-
Jack" and "Kookaburra" once. Ah...those were the days...

oh, yes!
i actually think nothing is better than dancing to the cocteaux. i used
to dj at a not-so-friendly neighborhood goth club, and nothing would
brighten things up a li'l like 'orange appled'. :) the other dj and i
were always pressing the, ummm...customers to get into to something
besides the sisters and siouxsie, but little of it worked. they frowned
on slowdive and just about everything else we tried. for god's sake, it
took them 2 years to admit that and also the trees are fabulous (imagine
playing 'shaletown' or 'sickness divine' night after night only to have
someone come up and say, 'is this nick cave?'. okay, they both have deep
voices, but come on! all right, i'm done ranting....)
this brings me to another topic, the aformentioned other dj and i were
talking about this a few weeks ago. do you, as someone who's passionate
about the music you like and as someone who's always searching for
something new, feel the absolute need to spread the word? when you meet
someone who has similar tastes but hasn't heard some of the bands you
like do you run home, make them a tape and practically force it into
their ear? are you depressingly disappointed when the say something
like, 'oh yeah, i thought it was pretty good...' in an indifferent voice?
okay....i'll shut up now.

Point taken.
Of course, this point could have been made privately. Posting it to the list
was hypocritical (since one of the points of contention was that my posting
of matters concerning only a few parties, was posted to everyone on the list)
and unnecessary, as was the overall tone of it. It not only insults me as a
person, which is, again, uncalled for, but implies to everyone that did
participate, that they were "suckered" or "ripped-off". How do you think that
makes them feel?
My auction prices were based on the prices I payed for these items and prices
that I've seen the same items for in record collecting publications such as
"Goldmine", which will no doubt differ from the prices that they should go
for or that some of you might have payed or have seen them for. I, and those
who participated in my auction, who signaled this through their
participation, saw nothing unfair about them.
Some of the items, the Spiritualized disc for example, I paid $35 for. This
was the beginning minimum. Because I needed money, I lowered it to $30 and
sold it for that price, which, if you do the math, is less than what I paid
for it. I have seen this CD for upwards of $45 and as low as $16.
Another of the items up for bids which one, and probably more of you, had
problems with, the Princess Dragonmom disc, went to someone who has
personally contacted me to defend the purchase in light of some of the
remarks that have been posted.
No one was forced to participate in this auction (although I concede that
everyone was forced to follow it, and for this only I apologize; this will
not happen in future auctions) and if those that did wish to contend their
final prices, I invite them to do so privately.
Auctions and auction prices are something that will, no doubt, continue to be
the source of much disagreement on this list. Some people loathe them.
Others, like myself, have stayed subscribed to this list almost solely for
the chance that they may be able to obtain an item--rare or not, in print or
deleted--that they couldn't have gotten otherwise due to geographic location,
ignorance of the existence of such items, or even just plain laziness at the
prospect of having to hunt them down.
Contrary to the picture painted of me, I am in no way laughing all the way to
the bank. Truth be told, I'm actually using the proceeds to fund my tuition
costs...

Got 'Wish You Were Dead', the new Scheer ep today. The lead song isn't a patch
on 'Shea'. It's a fairly pedestrian rock track, with little in the way of a
memorable tune as salvation. Track two is an acoustic reading of 'Sad Loved
Girl' which is rather sweet. There follows a cover of Blondie's 'Hanging On The
Telephone' which is transformed from a bright pop-punk song into a gruesome slab
of mid-paced grunge, with all the cliches intact of quiet bits followed by
chugger-chugger guitars. I hope it's tongue-in-cheek. The ep is rounded off by
an instrumental, 'Cannon', which is probably the best track. Very rawk, but
strangely compelling. Not an essential buy by any means, but as trad-rock goes
Scheer are about as good as you get.

You got a bargain there - it is the same Shox - the same record in fact (Axis
4). It was released in 1980 as part of an initial batch of four singles on the
Axis label, a subsidiary of Beggar's Banquet which was to become 4AD. I didn't
know any of them were pressed up with Beggar's labels. What's the cat. no?

Wish You Were Dead - Scheer
This is probably my favorite Scheer ep to date.

of Hanging on the Telephone is, um.... interesting, to say the least.

Hi all,
My tolerance level is usually pretty high, but three auction updates
from the same person in one day pushed me over the threshold, I
guess. First of all, I have no problem with auctions, making money
off the net, or selling old rekids on the list. Indeed, I am guilty
of all three. HOWEVER, posting lots of auction lists to folks who
probably could care less seems a bit... erm... impolite. So, I
propose a new rule:
If you want to have an auction on 4AD-L, post the initial list and
then post updates *only* to folks who wish to participate in the
auction. Leave the rest of us out of it.
Case in point: When Brant recently auctioned off some stuff, I
believe he did this. I was in the auction, but the posts about
that Bugbears seven-inch that I bought only went to those of us
who expressed an interest.
I admit this makes it more work for the auctioneer. (You have to
maintain the possibly large list of email addresses.) But, hey,
you're trying to make some money here, so maybe it SHOULD be a
little work (Ubiquitous Interenet Make.Money.Fast schemes aside

The New Swirlies record is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!! For those of you who don't have
it, get it! And for those of you who dismiss the Swirlies as a "Until the next
BV album comes out" type band, then you HAVE to listen to this. The Swirlies so
nd NOTHING like MBV. The drum machine songs Damon uses are sooooo beautiful! I
can go on forever about how well this record flows, and how every single song is
beautiful, and how it's the best record I've heard in years, but you MUST listen
for yourselves. This album proves my point that the Swirlies are the best un-lo
ed band EVER. And when i say un-loved, i say that to people who dismiss them as
MBV wannabe's. I love 'em, though!!!!!

First, I saw some posts dealing with St. Etinnene(sp?) anyway they
did a remix of Pizzicato fives "Peace Music" of "Pizzicato Fives Sound
of Music" The Cd also came with a little fan club card with is cool.
Second, I got Chapter House's "Blood Music" double cd and it's
pretty cool. It sounds more like the Cure or maybe even early New Order
than I expected. But I especally liked Spooky's extravaganza mix of "We
are the Beautiful". I noticed that Spooky did the awesome remix of
Lush's "Undertow", what else has he/she done?
Third, I picked up Everything but the Girl's "Amplified Heart" and
am kinda disapointed. I thought it would be more techno oriented and it
sounded more like Mazzy Star. But I think the $12 bucks was worth the
remix of Missing, god what a beautiful song! (even w/out the remix)
Oh and someone mentioned about all the auctions and i think it's
getting old. I think if someone doesn't reply after one post they
aren't going to. An update every so often isn't bad but lets keep this
under control.
One more thing, I think we need new words for:
Alternative (modern rock)
Cool (Come on now, I think this one has run its course)

Me! Me! Great album, probably the most angry and psychopathically violent
piece of music I own, right up there with "Rid Of Me". Their second album
is bubblegum pop by comparison.

I had never thought about it, but you're pretty much right. Although
there are a couple of melodies in "Mrs. Jones" and the others are less
similar, e.g. the part where she sings "viruses raging / breaking my
bones / Mrs. Jones oh Mrs. Jones...".
Ultimately I find it a much more interesting song than "Dark Entries",
which is pretty much the same riff all the way through.

I'll throw my two dimes in for the record:
I have sold stuff before in an auction-type giveaway; and I would not have
even *thought* about posting it back to the list. Like the guy from Dallas
said; its not that difficult to get off your lazy ass and copy and paste the
interested addresses into a distribution list. I don't care what mailer you
are using; its not THAT hard.
When auctions get continuously updated on the list it seems kind of fishy or
more like the person posting is trying to create a sense of urgency to the
other folks on the list in that they are getting "left-out" by displaying the
running ticker of rising bids. That's how real auctions work; on adrenalin.
Now *especially* when the auction is posted with *ALL* the info several
times.; this seems a bit obvious what is going on. If you're going to
continuosly update to the list; the very LEAST you can do is edit each item
down to a single line. There's no reason to have all the other information
unless you're trying to fish other lurkers out to "bite" on your wares.
Anyway, I'm not saying the person who posted the last auction meant to do any
of those things; but like others have said; 3 updates in one day is VERY
annoying and it makes you wonder...

To whom it may concern:
This message is not really 4AD stuff. Sorry to stuff your mail
boxes. Sincerest of apologies.
I am a keyboardest looking to start a band called Dracula's
Daughter. So far it is just me on keyboards and right now I am looking
for a vocalist who could help get some lyrics started before we go for
other members. I am influenced by Slowdive, the Cocteau Twins, The
Cranes, and the Cure.
Here is what I am looking for in a vocalist. She has to be a
girl. I like the sound of a girls voice better. I live in Phoenix Arizona
and she has to live within a 200 mile radius of me. She has to have
similar influences. Other then all of that I am pretty easy going about
what I want.
If any of you are interested PLEASE let me know.

Are you listening to Mojave 3, or is it listening to you?

The whole thing with the album is weird...there were no promos or
advertisements or NOTHING about the EP (Sneaky Flutes) OR the album. But
I went to tower (here in Chicago) about a week ago, and they had 4
copies. I bought one, a friend bought one, and a week later...no more
Swirlies album. They do have the "Sneaky Flutes" EP, which is just two
songs off "They Spent their wild...", and like, 4 "joke" songs. Damon
wrote me and told me it was out, so at least the BAND knows its out.
Actually, the other day I read a Taang! advertisement that was selling
the EP...but as far as the FANTASTIC album, it really wasn't supposed to
be out until Summer, because they didn't have enough $$$ to release it.
Ho-hum. POint is, it's out. Taang! is probably sending shipments of it
around the world (a little after the fact), but still, not too soon.

Just want to echo the sentiments re: the above album. I love all s-lab, but
this one is epic, and _very_ high on my all-time list.
>most of the stereolab records sound
>pretty much the same-.they all are good.
Yes, sort of... texturally... but IMnotsohumbleO, _Transient Random_ is a
shining exception to this. Each track really has its own personality & mood.

yes it is.
4AD history-wise, (regardless if it's on 4AD or bb) that's a whopper of a
deal.
Song content-wise, and I'd say you paid too much.

Ironically, I went to the grocery store on *third* street, AND I wasn't
listening to Mojave 3 on my way. I mean, just when you think things can't
get any stranger ;)
