Yes, Rachel does wear glasses. She sported them at the in-store performance
and at the actual performance later tonight here in Detroit. She did mention
the fact she only had 4 hours sleep before their in-store appearance....
maybe she usually wears contacts, but because of the lack of sleep she
couldn't wear 'em...happens to me all the time.
just thought there might be someone out here in 4AD-Land that wanted to know
that... :P

You really have to wonder about the things Kim Deal says sometimes. She
recently said there was a guy she wanted to play bass for the Amps, but then
she found out he was a "flaaaaaaming homosexual" and that supposedly put her
off the idea.

No, I've seen her wear glasses (not on stage). They were little cat's-eye or
butterfly ones or whatever they're called.

My two favorite Kitchens records are 'Strange Free World' and 'Death of
Cool'. I also own 'Love is Hell' and 'Cowboys...,' niether of which ever
get played. _ever_. Love is Hell has some good lyrics but the music is
harsher and less inventive than 'sfw'. Cowboys suffers in identical
except opposite ways: smooth to the point of blandness.
Love is Hell is valuable as an artifact: like how i see 'garlands':
shows you where this group comes from, and the rawness is revealing.
The lyrics are very good, too.
Cowboys and Aliens is boooring. Again, some good lyrics, but the music is
redundant and overproduced.

Reposted from an earlier post that seemed to go further past the right hand
margin than I thought, rendering it partially unreadable:
Well, "Shaving The Pavement" made its' second Canadian visit on
Saturday, May 4th in Toronto. Here is a summary of the day...
An autograph session Saturday afternoon at the downtown HMV proved
to be very popular, with lines of fans stretching through the store and out
onto the sidewalk on Yonge Street.
First fans were treated to acustic performances from both Scheer
and Mojave 3. Scheer played three songs, "Demon", "You Said" and
"Goodbye" to a good response from the crowd. Audrey has one hell
of a voice, I gotta say!
Two new songs were unleashed during Mojave 3's set, "Trying To
Reach You" and an untitled one plus "Where Is The Love", which
Neal flubbed a couple lines sending Rachel into uncontrolled giggling.
Rachel then promised "we will be much more professional tonight!".
Afterwards fans were herded into a rather unorganized line up for the
autograph signing. Scheer were first in line at the autograph tables.
I was able to flashback to their photo in AP and recount all the band
members names, which I hope impressed them. Audrey and company
were all very willing to partake in banter with the fans.
Next up on the smorg table of 4AD main courses was Mojave 3, who,
like Scheer seemed to be into meeting with the fans. Neal, Ian, Rachel
and company signed all my old Slowdive stuff, so I was happy!
Lush was next and despite a chirpy Miki, bandmates Phil, Chris and
Emma seemed a bit tired and not into it. They did sign my Lush Mac
interactive disk, which I mentioned I haven't even seen 'cause I don't
own a Mac. Miki added she's never viewed it either but didn't seem
too worried about it.
There were some prizes given away if fans answered some easy
questions like "What color is Miki's hair this week?". I answered the
"What is the name of the girl in Scheer?" question correctly and received
the purple STP shirt. Two lucky fans won these cool framed, signed
and shrink wrapped Lush art prints. Too cool!!
Unlike most other previous STP tour dates, the companion STP
cassette was only available to those who baught a 4AD release from
this big rack of new and old 4AD stuff. This was a sore point among
some fans. So, I ended up buying another copy of LIAE on CD to get the
tape. Everything on this rack was $15.99, including many titles which
PolyGram released in Canada as UK only imports. So, good deal there.
There was some non-4AD Cocteau Twins on this rack but in Canada
4AD and Mercury/Fontana are all handled by PolyGram I guess it's
acceptable, I guess.
Later on, I ventured to the venue called The Opera House. There was
already ten or so people there. It was then I realized I had inadvertently
left my "Ask Me Tomorrow" CD booklet on the autograph signing table
back at HMV! So, I went back to HMV and re-purchased the CD and
received TWO STP cassettes this time! I just won the lottery and that's
why I can afford three copies of every 4AD release, one to listen to,
another to get signed by bands and yet another to place in my
temperature-controlled refridgerator storage unit.
Then, back to the venue. Waiting out front, I could hear Mojave 3
doing their soundcheck. A few minutes later, out walked Mojave 3!!
A crowd of Lush fans were oblivious to this fact so I struck up a
conversation. Neal asked where they could go for a quick meal and
I suggested to nearby Neon Cowboy, a real classy joint. They went in
and a few minutes later I went in to ask if they could re-sign my CD,
which they did and they also spent some time answering all
my anal questions. Rachel was very nice and accomadating to me
as was everyone in the band. Thanks, Mojave 3!!
The concert began at 9pm exactly with Mojave 3 hitting the stage first.
They played "Pictures", "Mercy" and "Where Is The Love" among others
including new stuff as well as wrapping up with a Dylan cover! The crowd
was fairly open to the Mojave 3 sound but I'm not sure how many were
going to rush out and buy the album.
Up next, Scheer! I'm sure Scheer won a few new fans with this
STP tour; they surely did tonight. A friend who was skeptical after listening
to "Schism" was converted by the end of the set. Once again, Audrey has a
beautiful voice and, not that this matters, is a total babe. PolyGram issued
"Infliction" with the UK graphics and the cool sticker too! I hope they put
"In Your Hand" as a single...
Lush hit the stage just past 11pm and the crowd really started to
react. As Miki said at HMV, the show will be "some old and some new".
So we had "Sweetness And Light" along with new single "500" to groove to.
The packed venue was really getting into it and Lush kicked ass tonight!!
After Lush's encore the lights came up and everyone filed there way out
into the chilly street. A day of delights for me, no doubt and I'm sure it
was a day to remember for others as well. It really helped get Scheer
and Mojave 3 some much deserved attention and gave Lush the reminder
that they have truly arrived.
Almost as quickly as they hit town, the 4AD groups were off, heading
across the river to Detroit, where they played the next night. I'm sure a
report will follow...
An expanded, clothbound book version of the above review featuring all
new art from Chris Bigg and Jason Love of v23 is available now. The
catalogue number is RAD X 6028 and the first fifty copies include a
free CD with unreleased demo tracks from Lush, Mojave 3 and Scheer.
The extra unlisted track is from 50's do-whop sensations The Jive
Bombers who receive a special reissue treatment from 4AD later on
this fall. The "Bad Boy" album, which features their 1957 hit single
of the same same, is looking to be a collection of their Savoy Records'
singles from what I can tell. I was lucky enough to stumble across the
original "Bad Boy" 7" at a local used shop! MCA released a Jive Bombers
CD compilation at one point called "Cry Baby" (MCAD-8038) but it's long
since deleted. So now, the rights belong to Ivo at 4AD, who has been
planning this release for a long time. It'll be interesting to see how v23's
take on the cover art is on this one!

I just thought that I would add my two cents. When a song gets put in a
commercial, television program, movie, etc. it must first get approved by
the artist (the label does not have the final word). The label does,
however, weed out all the offers the band receive. For many artists that
will be first and one of the rare opportunities to actually make some money.
It takes a long time to recoup all the cost involved in making a record or
going on tour. So give them a break they just want to eat.

Laurent asks:
>Has anyone heard from Furry Things _The Big Saturday Illusion_
This is one of the surprises of the year.
Trance Syndicate has put out some really fine music - Bedhead comes to mind -
but they've topped themselves with the Furry Things CD. "The Big Saturday
Illusion" is like a mind-meld collision between Medicine and Swirlies; Blind
Mr. Jones, and Spacemen 3. Drone-age, capricious instrumentation, walls of
humming keyboard vibrations, and exquisite sheets of FX-drenched guitar
noise. We all know the routine by now, don't we?
Furry Things separate themselves from the usual crowd with their willingness
to experiment. "Piled High" piles up the distortion and drone ... high - but
also laces the song with a very Ghost- like flute (I checked the liner notes
for mention of "Masai Batoh" a few times...), a wheezy
"the-one-that-got-away-from-Stereolab" Farfisa, and a simmering Bowery
Electric-type moodiness. "Nothing From ZerO" (great title!) is over 14
minutes of shoegazer atmosphere and Sonic/J Spaceman riffage that seeps into
the very marrow of your bones. There are a few tonal experiments like "Angel
Warm and Cold" (hello? Labradford?), "Colortime", "Lawnmower Sounds", and
"Introism" (the first song, of course). And there are a few chunks of
razor-edged pop like "Still California", which is also available on a 7" with
a great non-LP b-side. Forgive an occasional "er... WHAT?!" noodle like
"Cats" or "Porno Queen's Love Dive", and you have one hell of an album!
...especially when you consider that they're American.
Has anyone heard the new Goya Dress album? While there are flashes of Tori
"I'm so sincere that even my emotions are made of silicone" Amos which set my
teeth (and gut) on edge, it's a terribly classy affair. Beautiful design, too
- lots of metallic paper and ink, some artsy layouts, etc. A drastic
improvement on the interesting (but woefully underdeveloped) early EPs. Nude
UK comes through yet again, though they haven't unseated Sharkboy from that
throne of textured pop perfection.
Enough non-IDM related stuff for one day.

'five ways of disappearing' is a *kendra smith* album.
either you got the name of the artist wrong or you're

assuming that we're talking about the same album,
'5 ways of disappearing' is well worth listening to.
if you must liken it to a well known release, the
only thing I can think of right now is the irish band
'clanad'. the difference being that 'clanad' is tacky
and boring, while '5 ways' can be great. (when you're
in a certain mood). the album is based on the sound
of an ancient pump organ accompanied by atmospheric
guitars, heavy drums, and kendra smith's deadpan vocals.
the songs consist of "natural" lyrics, (lousy phrase,ye')
in the sense that a 13'th century man would have no
problem understanding most of it. hence the comparison
to 'clanad'. but unlike 'clanad' the music here tends
to be more dark and mysterious, and sometimes even gothic.
like I said, you have to be in a certain mood.
that's all

No, the idea wasn't put off because he was a homosexual... she just

Well... this is kinda far-fetched, but Pale Saints did a remake of an
Opal song written by Kendra. And now it completely slips my mind as to
which one it is.
By the way, speaking of Pale Saints, does anyone else agree with me that
Kinky Love is one of the best, if not THE best, 4AD songs of the '90s, if
not ever. I rank it WAY up there with the likes of Ivo, Another Day,
Telegram Sam and Swans on Glass as one of my 4AD faves of all time.

I didn't have time to mention the Swirlies show before
it happened in Pomona this past Saturday night, but
there are two more coming up in the LA area:
tonight (Monday) at No Life Records in Hollywood on Santa Monica
phone# 213-845-1200. 7pm.
Tuesday at Dragonfly in Hollywood on Santa Monica, I believe.
Check the LA Weekly.
Anyway, the Pomona show was just plain amazing! They played
most or all of the "normal" songs from the new album,
and the sound was incredibly (and I mean *incredibly*) loud!
My Bloody Valentine-style loudness, which (if you don't
know already) would be a fairly good description of their music too.
Their songs are a lot more quirky though, and I'm starting to
decide that Damon Tuntunjian (or however you spell it) is one brilliant
songwriter. The guitar noise they achieved made my head spin,
especially when they started right off into "Jeremy Parker"
from the first album. It almost brought tears to my eyes it
was so tremendous! One song featured some rather painful
static "played" by someone pressing both hands flat
onto an ancient looking analog keyboard. I don't think
the players even knew how loud it was since they were all
wearing earplugs! And when I told Damon afterwards that it
was really loud, he seemed surprised. They even did
"Tall Ships" from What To Do About Them, one of their all
time greats, although it was a shame Andy didn't do his
characteristic scream toward the end. One thing he did do
between songs though was play a few random samples from
a walkman into his bass pick-up (apparently they carry
this everywhere and record lots of wierd randomness,
like that hidden bit at the end of the first album).
So I implore you, go see the Swirlies! And be sure to
bring your earplugs, because as blissful the noise is,
and as much as you may want to hear it unfiltered,
it would have your ears ringing in no time.

I am not sure if I would be as bold to say that it is one of the best 4AD
songs of the '90s because in actuality it is a cover. But I will agree it is
one of those perfect pop songs with everything in the right place. Also, the
song itself seems to be a bit out of character due to its erotic sound
(i.e the whispered vocals, wah-laden guitars, echoed bass, etc.) The "In
Ribbons" album and the associated eps had an overall downcast and bitter
sound. Did Ian or Meriel decide to cover this song? And on a last note
can anyone distinguish if the those solo parts are keyboards or processed
guitar? I know there are least two guitars mixed, there is one that is
jangly (probably meriel) and the other is the wah part. Though, the solo
parts are so smooth and together that i think it can only be done by a
synth but at other times it sounds like an extremely compressed guitar that
is processed. If it is a guitar sound does anyone know how to create this
type of signal?

You know if you though about it, don't let your imagination go too far,
the song would be fit quite nicely in a porno flick or some sex scene.
What are the lyrics by the way?

>>Isn't that Pale Saints song "Blue Flower"?<<
Pale Saints covered "Fell From The Sun" by Opal (Kendra Smith and Dave
"Doobage" Roback, now of Mazzy Star) on their 1989 "Comforts of Madness" LP.
They also covered "Blue Flower" which Mazzy Star also covered, which was
originally done by some obscure band that has been mentioned before.
There you go kids.

i'm not ms. phares but yes it IS that awful. I hadn't noticed any
improvement either. But then again there's not too much on tv that isn't
that awful.

Sorry if I already posted this. It appears I initially sent it to the
some other list by accident.

If the solo album really has been scrapped, it's possible that the reason
for this was that it wasn't working stylistically. Maybe the songs were
salvaged and given new treatments.

But that *was* Dead Can Dance material, remember. (Then again so were
Sanvean and Persian Love Song. Guess it's a matter of who wears the
pants...)
I'm curious: Is the album percussive in kind of an asskicking Mother
Tongue sort of way or in a fartsy sort of way like on the LG solo album?
(Not that I have anything against that.) And how long is the album, with
only eight songs?
Final question: What is the name of the bootleg that supposedly collects
the best off the rest of the bootlegs? Does this focus on songs that
don't appear on albums or just on the best performances?

It's a Welsh term for 'dental dam'. (For further details please refer to

Why is it so difficult for some people to muster up the courage to
actually hold an auction? you would have made more money that way, and
the CDs would have sold for, by definition, what they are WORTH.
If that sort of thing causes you to lose sleep at night, you might have
just sent them to whichever of us had the most idle time (probably me, if
you were to ask one of the less resourceful subscribers here) i.e.
whoever happened to respond first because he was logged in when the
message was posted.
And there are so many other ways that aren't TACKY. Are you a member of
the Hafler Trio by any chance?
