That's equivilant to about 750 American dollars. Things must be cheap
over there!
Do they (4ad artists) get any kick back for records sold? And what
about all the money they make at concerts? Do 4ad artists have to pay
for the recording of their albums? Do they have to pay for their own
equipment i.e. FX pedals, guitars, amps? Do they have to pay for
promotional stuff to be made like posters, t-shirts, newspaper ads?
Has this been discussed before? Sorry if it has!

What is a quid? Is that like Busta Rhymes "flip mode and quidod"

Hey, you shouldn't forget Radio Sessions - the collection of peel sessions
that the band did.
It contains some great versions of songs from the early ep's, along with a
couple from Doppleganger. One of the standouts would have to be the
rendition of Arm's Out (found on the Fait ep), this is just superb.
Actually, I'm not sure if Arm'sOut ever made it onto the US release of the
Fait ep, anyone ?
I think Radio Sessions gives people like myself who haven't seen the band
live (and unfortunately never will) an indication of what they might have
sounded like outside the studio.

just use a robinsons-may card. most rob-may's have a ticketmaster in their
customer service department or by the gift wrapping. as far as i know this
is the only place you can charge tix. also, it's highly unlikely to find a
crowd in a department store for cocteau twins or dcd tix! well, maybe i've
just ruined that notion.
i hope this helps some of you!

Yeah, that's right - all of us. We all have the hammer and sickle tattooed

I have to agree with Steve - Curve's Radio Sessions is probably the best
disc to have, although the hardest to find. And i whole-heartedly agree
that Arms Out is a great song. After hearing it on the Radio Sessions, I
bought the import Fait single (or is it an ep?), and was really
disappointed by the studio version of Arms Out.
For what it is worth, I think Doppleganger is the better studio album (I
LOVE the way Toni coos), and BlackerThreeTracker is my favorite single,
since it has very un-Curve like production styles.
As for the remnants of the band, I had heard a rumour many months ago that
Toni was working with the former members of Xymox as a band called Bud.
Does anyone know anything about this? And does anyone know anything about
this group Scylla?

Cocteau Twins rolled into Toronto on Thursday, taking in the sights and
sounds of downtown enjoying a day off prior to their Jun. 14 show at The
Concert Hall. It was my first time seeing Cocteau Twins live so the
anticipation factor was very high!
Walking up Yonge Street from HMV, myself and a friend noticed a tour bus
heading in the same direction, towards the venue. Could it be them, we
wondered... The occupants inside the bus noticed us staring and waved.
Traffic was hellish at the time (Friday at 5, rush hour hell) so we
actually arrived to the venue at the same time as the tour bus did. It
WAS them!! We stood on the sidewalk on Davenport, just off Yonge Street
as the tour bus pulled up and parked just a few feet ahead of us.
The bus door opens and... the whole band deboards and begins walking
towards us. Robin, Simon, Liz along with Lincoln, Mitsou and Mark
Clifford all walk on by, towards the venue entrance.
I meekly choked out the words "Hi, Robin" as he walked by and the rest of
the band continued their way to the venue doors. But Robin stopped, said
hello to us and told us they would be able to sign our CD's after the
show. We were a little lost for words!
Waiting outside the front doors of the venue we heard the band doing
their soundcheck. A group of twenty fans had gathered by six o'clock,
many of them regulars on 4ad-l and the Treasure site. It was nice to
chat with other CT fans and exchange views and opinions on things.
I went to the side entrance door for a peek. The doors were open and the
band was still in the middle of soundchecking. Roadies were playing
soccer, kicking a ball around the floor as the band played on...
By the time doors opened at around eight, there was a huge crowd gathered
which security guards then assembled into an orderly line up. The crowd
was let into the venue five at a time.
After chowing down on a hot dog and drinking a $2.25 can of Coke that the
venue so nicely provided, opening act Spain took the stage. Imagine, if
you will, a Red House Painters styled slowsy-ish music, kind of like as
if Pixies songs were all slowed down and played like the UK Surf
version of "Wave Of Mutilation", only much slower. I would have enjoyed
their set more had the majority of the crowd shut their mouths, something
they DID NOT do during their whole set. The talking was audibly louder
than the band! It was clear, Spain was NOT the reason the crowd was
here. Too bad, their "The Blue Moods Of Spain" album is actually good!
Finally, the moment we were all waiting for! Cocteau Twins took the
stage and opened the set with "Fifty-fifty Clown". I understand the set
is pretty much the same as their NYC and previous dates. My friend and I
were hugging the stage, directly below Liz as she belted out her songs.
A few feedback screeches aside, the show was amazing!
After the show, my friend and I waiting outside the venue only to learn
that Liz had already been wisked to the hotel by security. Perhaps she
wasn't feeling well. After all the elitist backstagers had their
in-venue meet-and-greet with the band, Robin and Simon exited the back
doors and noticed us.
They were so kind to take time out to and chat with us about things and
they signed our CD's. Shaking Robin and Simon's hands was a cool wrap up
to the meeting. They said their goodbyes and ran to the van. Off to the
hotel or straight to Detroit, I guess...
All in all, it was a thrill packed evening! Although I was verging on my
21st hour of awakness, I was still pumped up. What a night! Tomorrow,
I'll head back to HMV and pick up that "Stealing Beauty" soundtrack, the
one with Cocteau Twins' "Alice", another previously unreleased gem!
Next is Dead Can Dance, as they hit Toronto on July 15 playing at Massey
Hall. It's a great summer for great concerts! Just not enough time to
see them all!

I agree. Though, let me add that I think the design of the CD and jewelcase
is horrible. Several of the elements are interesting but they are
put together in an ugly hodge-podge.
The design is by The Blue Nile themselves, and I can see that they should
just stick to music. It is a shame really because, after working in a record
store for two years, I can say that people unsure of the music take risks on
nicely packaged goods.
Did they design "Hats" and "A Walk..." as well? If so, they've taken
a seriously ugly step backward.
Just a comment,
David.

Does anyone know the script typeface that
huH (issue 22, Stone Temple Pilots article, pg 42)
and Vaughan Oliver (in This Mortal Coil "end in Tears
and Tarnation Gentle Creatures) use? I am looking to
buy some new fonts and I like the look of this one.
Emile Efdee I know you can tell me, man.
Also does anyone have Kevin Westenberg's
(4AD/music photographer) address in Vancouver?
I would like to get in touch with him and maybe
get some samples of his work.
