No, it's not Encapsulated Postscript, but Eight Page Story!
Lest you forget, they are playing at Genghis Cohen Cantina
on Fairfax near Melrose tonight (Wednesday) at 10pm.
The cover is a painful $7, or $3 with a flyer, and I would think
this very message would count as one. It's going to be an
unplugged set this time, and as I've said before, the music is
poppy Sundays-ish, Cocteaus-ish, and very much thislisty. In
an act of extreme optimism I even invited Ivo, fellow
beautiful voices addict that he is.
Another band of note is playing this Saturday at Un-Urban
which is almost right next to the Alligator Lounge on Pico
in Santa Monica. Known as The Floating House, they're an
atmospheric guitar/female vocals duo. A few people have
compared the vocals to Joan Baez (who?-- just kidding, although
I really don't have a good idea what she sounds like). To me
a more obvious reference is Annie Haslam from Renaissance
(and when are *they* going to jump on the reunion tour bandwagon?)

Shallow is a great band from here in the Mid-West (Kansas City,Mo). They are
very this-listy And are highly recomended. Swallow is much more mellow and
airy while Shallow is more pop (see Cranes). And they happen to be a swell
bunch of people too. I'd also like to say sorry for Kansas City's treatment
of the Cocteau Twins, and stiil we all wonder how come we don't see as many
alternative (mainly 4AD and such) come through.
Any other Cocteau Twins KC/Lawerence Fans?

Greetings from Lurkersville!!!
Well, I finally raked together enough cash to get Spiritchaser. Had to do it,
despite all the mixed reviews and hearing about half of it at a Tower listening
station about a month ago (wasn't too impressed at the time) I'm still a diehard
fan. I've listened to it once so far and my impression is, well... apathetic, I
guess. There are some good songs; Song of the Dispossessed is probably my
current favorite, but most of the album just seems to run together. The whole
thing seems to lack the substance and depth present in all DCD I have heard thus
album, Aion). I'm anxiously awaiting their arrival in Seattle Aug. 5 to see if
a recent poster's report that the music is meant to be heard live, is accurate.
A few design criticisms: I was discussing this with a fellow designer and DCD
fan, and we came to the conclusion that the reason the design seems so bad is
primarily the colors used. The designer (Chris Bigg) took a completely
different route than that had been used in the past (somber earthtones mainly)
and used blues and reds. This makes the whole thing seem cheap and
insubstantial compared to past designs, where buying a DCD album came close to a
religious experience. I don't know how much influence was exerted over this by
Lisa and Brendan, but it's a departure I don't personally care for.
I've also recently picked up a few other thislisty albums that have been
before this list, so thank you Area fans! Anyone know how many albums they have
released? Also, I found Pale Saints/ Slow Buildings used and really like it. I
listened to In Ribbons in the store, which seems to be the favorite PS album on
this list, but it didn't grab me as much as Slow Buildings. Must be that
dynamic intro on "King Fade" that did it. Last but not least, I got The City of
Lost Children soundtrack. Pretty good. A couple of observations: Marianne
Faithfull's voice sounds a heckuva lot like Jimmy Scott's on the Twin Peaks:
Fire Walk With Me soundtrack in the song "Sycamore Trees". Also, does anyone
think the theme on this soundtrack sounds similar to the theme from The Elephant
Man, by a different composer? David Lynch directed this movie, as he did Twin
Peaks, so I'm wondering if Badalamenti borrowed a bit. It's not something I can
put my finger on, but one really reminds me of the other.
I asked about the Booth and the Bad Angel disc, but the clerk (Wherehouse) had
no clue. He hadn't even heard of James. Does anyone know if this has been

Well, sorry this is so long and only slightly list-related.

just to put another word in for shallow.
they played recently in toronto for the north by northeast fest (the
quiet cousin of south by southwest). they are most thislistie and worth
a listen.
any idea what label they signed to (if any) and how to get hold of any
release(s)? record stores here are lacking to say the least.

They are on Zero Hour and have, er, 5 (?) releases thus far. The album
(3d stereo trouble) and 6 song ep (cd laser lens cleaner) should be pretty
easy to locate. The other singles/eps might not be but I haven't looked.
Check the Zero Hour web page for more information. I'm not sure of the
url.

"it was much better than Cats. i'm going to see it again & again."
i was one of the freaks who went out on opening day to see
independence day. let me just say, for any lover of kool special
effects and alien mangling in film, YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM.
go now! all of you!!! run to your nearest theater, steal a ticket,
and prepare to watch the koolest thing i've ever seen since the
first alien film. i may very well have nightmares tonight, especially
since i know rather reputable people who've seen li'l flying objects
and have had interesting conversations with military personnel on
such matters....but all the weirded outness is worth it. tho, i think if
we are ever mass-invaded by funky space creatures..i will either
a) run for the mountains or b) commit suicide.

Including "Jane" herself who did the original version of Barton's "It's a
Fine Day". I think her contribution to the EB tribute might have been her
version of "Slap Belly". Great stuff.
I'm so sure that Tracey Thorn has never had anything to do with "It's a
Fine Day" that I'll eat my keyboard if she has. Treat that statement with
disdain though. I had to eat my last keyboard after claiming that Meriel
Barham was never in Lush.

Please, it's "I got no chickens but I got five wooden chairs". He used to
"play" the guitar as well. In fact I think he used to hang out at gigs
begging for support slots. When he got them, he would caterwaul and just
use the guitar as a percussion instrument. I remember seeing him once or
twice under such circumstances. I was always rather chuffed at the outrage
and lack of humour expressed towards EB by those around me. I tended to
rather like his more abstract offerings but even if I didn't, he was always
very funny.
Other interesting facts about Eddie baby. He has a wood fetish and
basically collects wood, f'rinstance sodding great railway sleepers. You
can see the evidence of this fetish in the video for James' "Sit Down"
which, if memory serves, features a number of large wooden thrones.
Actually, Eddie is a well respected video director.
Also, Ed did the classic "Knob gob". Well, it's a classic if a part of you
is a twelve year old schoolboy.

The term has been around for quite some time but fortunately they called
in the Center for Disease Control early and they managed to to contain it
to the "Bay Area", which is why you haven't heard it. Unfortunately, for
some silly reason they decided against nuking the area from orbit and
some of the actual music managed to escape. Tsk, tsk.
Mojave 3 are not sadcore; they are Slowdive with a chemical imbalance and
a hefty portion of denial.

tra le varie cose ha la possibilit=E0 di cercare le uscite discografiche dei

oppure puoi provare con i rivenditori di cd/lp via internet, li trovi nelle

no no no, in my opinion it is not moronic at all, apart the bad result - but
you can't tell it before.
I think it's interesting to mix different musics, and even if CT are lot
more "delicate" than metal, their sound has a sort of, how to say,
totalization that in some ways can appeal some metal listener, I suppose (I
am not a great fan of CT and I do not like metal, anyway).
I think it was an experiment that had to be made and a risk that had to be
taken.

I saw them live here in Rome maybe 11-12 years ago... a wonderful show!
some months ago I went to see Ondekoza, strictly involved with Kodo, of
which, by chance, I am wearing a t-shirt now.
off topic, but here a short story of both groups.
The original group was Ondekoza. They were living on a little isle, in a
life of study and discipline and all this stories because their drumming is
something really serious (and apart spirituality, their kind of drumming
require a real athletic preparation, because they play for long times with
heavy woods for sticks).
time after time, it seems that the discipline start to loose a bit, the
group take too much tours, and put in the show some spectacular element non
very orthodox, and in effect the Ondekoza show contain some fun element that
lack totally in the almost ceremonial Kodo act. and, between all, *women*
were taken in the group!
so a more observant part of the whole group splitted and called himself
Kodo, while the original Ondekoza kept on this more hilarious way.
Both the groups are a wonderful show and I recommend them very much.
I am less enthusiast for the recorded music, because, lacking the live and
choreographic factor, it may result dull: just minutes and minutes of drumming.

Booth And The Bad Angel
Fontana
In stores July 3 (Canada)
File under: Alternative
"Booth AndThe Bad Angel" is the collaboration between James' lyricist and
singer Tim Booth and soundtrack composer Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks,
Blue Velvet, Wild At Heart, City Of Lost Children).
The album was recorded in New York over a six day improvisational period.
The songs they wrote suprized both collaborators. For sure, songs like "I
Believe", "Dance Of The Bad Angels" and "Fall In Love With Me" (their
mutual favourite) are entirely in keeping with the floating, ethereal
quality of Badalamenti's music for Julee Cruise and Twin Peaks. However,
"Hit Parade" and "Old Ways" are hook-packed pop songs and would be the
envy of any young band. Back in England, Booth recruited ex-Suede
guitarist Bernard Butler to play guitar on five tracks and mix six songs.
Tim Simenon mixed a further two.
The release will be supported with the first single "I Believe" at radio
and video, as well as advance publicity.

THE MIKE FLOWERS POPS:
TAKE YOUR FAVOURITE SONGS TO A GROOVY PLACE
In stores this Wednesday, July 3rd in Canada
"Whatever you think of The Mike Flowers Pops' easy-listening version of
the Oasis hit song `Wonderwall', it's mere existence proves a number of
1) imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. 2. Oasis, one of the few
British bands of late to successfully invade North America, really has
made it. 3. The world is starved for some real camp."
-- Jane Stevenson, Toronto Sun, February 1996
"I think it's liberating to see music as light entertainment -- not to
see it as art. That's what I'm interested in -- it was good fun 20 years
ago, as it will be in 20 years time... What I love to do is arrange a
tune, write the score and just see how it comes to life when played by
musicians. When it works, that's what's most rewarding."
-- Mike Flowers, in Select
The cynics screamed "novelty" when The Mike Flowers Pops emerged late
last year with a very "reverent" and barely recognizable cover of -- not
an oldie, a CURRENT hit -- "Wonderwall". You have a right to be
suspicious, but Mike Flowers is undeniably the next big thing (nudge)
and he's destined to be a huge star (wink) with his debut album of
special covers and suitably tacky originals, A Groovy Place. Why? Let's
get back to our story, now...
Just in time for Christmas, "Wonderwall" redux came THIS close to the
coveted seasonal #1 slot, beat out only by Michael Jackson. In the end,
the cynics lost as over 400,000 copies of the `Flowered-Up' "Wonderwall"
were sold, causing Oasis' original to rebound into the charts, although
the original peaked at #3. Punters who'd just clued into this hot new
combo Oasis, thought "Aha! This must be the original!" The MFP mania
even spread to Canada, the video was Choice Cut at MuchMusic and Buzzclip
at Musique Plus for two weeks running, and the CD single became our most
popular import single ever.
The official reaction from the bad boys themselves? Noel Gallagher has
to say: "Well, it's a good song, innit?", while brother Liam Gallagher
weren't about to complain about bonus songwriting royalties, were they?
The saga continues with MFP's latest UK top 40 single, a decidedly Light
take on The Doors' "Light My Fire". Tales of irony for you -- the 1967
original, Jim Morrison and Co.'s signature tune fercryinoutlawd, barely
charted in the UK but went to #1 in the U.S. and #2 in Canada. Most
Brits heard Jose Feliciano's breezy-listening cover a year later -- it
peaked at Number 6 and (in case you forgot) did even better in the US
(#3) and Canada (#1!!) The single's AA-side, "Please Release Me" was
Englebert Humperdinck's #1 bondage anthem from the summer of love that
(remember it now?) hit Top 5 in North America and #1 in the UK, where it
remained on the charts for over a year.
And now we come to the album. Produced and arranged by Mr. Flowers, the
much-anticipated A Groovy Place includes all the hit singles, as well as
originals like "Freebase" (an instrumental), "Crusty Girl" and "A Groovy
Place". Covers include Bjork's "Venus As A Boy", Prince's "1999", "The
'In' Crowd" (interpreted through the years by Dobie Gray, Bryan Ferry and
Percy Faith) and a swingin' Velvet Underground medley.
Born Mike Roberts in Liverpool, the now-35-year-old Flowers got into jazz
at 13, taught himself music theory, and entered London's Chelsea School
of Art in 1978. He later busked on guitar and started a group called The
Chihuahuas, who covered obscure '60s B-sides far before it was
fashionable.
Inspired by heroes like Burt Bacharach, Gil Evans (Miles Davis' arranger)
and John Cage, Flowers (who doesn't buy records, by the way; he'll hear
something on the radio that could stand re-arranging) donned a blonde wig
and a polyester suit and created The Pops in 1993 to bring the sound of
the 'pop orchestra' and 'expanded combo' to everyone! This talented and
well-dressed ensemble of thirteen -- the three Sound Superb Singers, the
four-piece Super Stereo Brass and his five piece backup band, have been
entertaining growing UK and European audiences ever since.
Emphasis here in "entertaining" -- for as Mike Flowers states: "Our
ethos is essentially a positive one, it says to forget your differences
and seek out the common ground... then relax and enjoy, for this is a
wholly non-competitive pursuit, where the object is mutual acceptance and
pleasure.
I see the act as a kind of leveller.... a spectacular, democratic music
entertainment for the whole family." A Groovy Place? We won't be back
for a long, long time. (June 1996)

I saw 2 eps in the store today. Three songs each...and they are
called parts 1 & 2 of a 2-part set. It looks like there are at least 4
mixes of "I Believe" between the two.
