I Absolutely agree with everything you have pointed out. Except for
item number 12. I am a "fan" of both groups, however i cannot make
that generalisation -- just take a look at the flame wars we've been
having here. I know people who love one group and despise the other.

from addicted to noise;
Addicted to Noise staff writer Gil Kaufman reports: In his continuing
attempt to assemble the most eclectic (some might say least
commercial) label on the planet, American honcho Rick Rubin recently
signed Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan to a four record deal.
The suddenly hip singer of Qawwali devotional music, who slipped out
150 albums while nobody was looking, has his first American Recordings
album in the can already. "Holy Prophet," a collection of traditional
music, will be released in September. Plans call for Rubin to record
another traditional record with Khan while he is in the U.S. on tour,
as well as an album of (gulp) duets with an as-yet-unnamed gallery of
alternative artists. After all, it was Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's duet
with Eddie Vedder for the Dead Man Walking soundtrack that got him all
the attention. Sources also hinted that some "very special guests"
might turn up at some of the dates on Khan's North American tour. We
assume this doesn't include the recently washed-up-on-shore fauxfolkie
Donovan who will open the first six dates and whose teaming
with Khan is an inspired one because, according to an American press
release, "both of these seasoned musicians are renowned for their
pursuit of greater spirituality, high consciousness and uniquely great
music." Oh, and we thought "Mellow Yellow" was just about getting
high.

Now THAT's funny! (Not the cancellations...you have my sympathy...but what
you said about becoming a fan of those other "artists" & getting sick
yourself if you go to see em!)
I'm hoping DCD will play here in Atlanta in August, but as they will be on
the road in the states for a month by that time, my hopes are not that high,
I must sadly admit (I am hopeful enough to have already bought my tix,
however...Lisa, drink alot of water & lemon juice...and don't talk to fans
too much backstage...conserve that lovely voice!)

Hello,
Now what was the point made referring to Ani Difranco's Dilate?
I am a fan of Ani, and its about time that she gets her moment in
the spotlight... After 7 Albums, and a compilation album, all on her own
record label, which she started at 18, her indi status is finally working
for her on a cult level...She is still getting hounded by the mega-labels
to sign on for greater exposure, and she keeps saying that she's doing all
of this on her own. Sure she'll get greater exposure, radio airplay, etc.
But in the other day's LA Times, there was an article stating that Ani
gets the highest royalties per album than any other artist (she gets a
little more than 4 bucks, Hootie gets around 2 bucks, and so does Michael
Jackson) Ani does everything herself - From writing/composing the songs,
to artwork, to packaging, to publicity. She gets the final word.
Anyway... has anyone heard 'Dilate'? I think its pretty good....
and hopefully will get greater recognition by the end of the year. Anyone
out there seen her live? Now that's an experience unto itself... A
different kind of religious experience. I saw Lisa Gerrard at Town Hall
last October - that was a religious experience - tranquil-like. WOW!
(and I hope to catch DCD at City Center in a few weeks - I still have to
call for ticket info!) Ani Difranco's more like pure
sweet-rage-feminist-pop-groove-funk. I can't think of words to discribe
it. People were saying that DCD/Lisa Gerrard's music is meant to be heard
live... The same goes with Ani. Her studio albums don't quite capture her
live. But rumor has it, that Ani is currently mixing a live album!!!
Just out of curiosity, anyone out there October Project fans?
Anyway, sorry about the rambling...

All the recent discussion invovling Caroline Crawley and co. inspired me
to post this little story.
Been dating a new girl, she's kind of cool, but musical tastes are pretty
different. She's not into music much but enjoys country. Hmmm... Anyways,
I was helping her move last week and was unloading stuff from her car. I
came across two CDs, one being some top 40 artist I can't recall, the
other CD being Century Flower by Shelleyan Orphan. I was very confused
at finding this CD in her car and was unable to speak for several
minutes. She then explained that a friend had given it to her and she
didn't care for it much, but offered it to me! Yay! I had always been
meaning to buy it but free is so much better.

First and foremost, my apologies for not posting this privately to the
interested party, but I didn't save their original post that got me started
thinking about this.
In reference to the Shelleyan Orphan cover of a VU song, it does exist, and as
far as I know, is still available. They have a track on Heaven and Hell
Volume 2: A Tribute to the Velevet Underground (there are 3 volumes). Last
time I checked (which was recently), it was available on CD from Parasol
records (they are online), for the lofty sum of US$23.50 + shipping.
Now you know.

[Yes, the single was out today.
CD1 is violane, circling girl & alice.
CD 2 is violane, smile (new song) & tranquil eye ( Green/Faye wong
collaboration, but different to album version)]
>I have to apologize-the track "Tranquil Eye" is not "Green" but is the

yeah, guess I'll have to cope with my vinyl copy of "Stars on ESP" for awhile
longer...
Went around to 5 places looking for it. Here are some of my favorite
"Uh, who?"
"They broke up"
"The band's name is 'Alive'? We don't have it."
"You mean the band 'Live'. They don't have anything new."
"It's in our warehouse. We should have it sometime next week. Maybe."
"If we have anything it's called 'Mouth by Mouth'."
Anyone else have difficulty getting their point across?
Oh, well...
Of course, I had more fun last August trying to explain to Planet Music that
Lisa Gerrard's album was NOT in fact called "The Mirror Fool", which they
INSISTED was correct.

Hey,
For all those who don't know Tim Friese-Green Produced
Cathrene Wheel's "Ferment" and Lush's "Sweetness and Light" which are
probably my most favorite. I just curious of what else he has done in
the past.
Anyone notice that the "alternative" (the stuff they play
on 120 minutes, alternative radio) was much better 6 years ago and the
stuff they play now kinda blows? My cd collection needs more indy
stuff! I think I am begining to realize why everyone (with a clue)
hates the mainstream.
Have the swirlies ever made any videos? Are the early
Shallow albums reminisant of 3d stereo trouble? What does Sylvania
sound like?

well,
i got staars on esp today, as soon as i could get my way to ann
arbor. 1st off, 15.99$???? what the hell?
the album is great!!! this is the best thing i have heard since
hiiyh. it sounds a lot like livonia mixed with home.
there seems to be a little bit of a blues/country influence beggining to
shine through. this is only in keeping with hnia 's inability to
be(or, more likely still, thier ability NOT to be) pigeon-holed.
listen carefully...............
or in the background(good for baking cookies to)
who is the male voices? is there more tahn one or is that a recording
studio bit?

well.
According to the 4AD press release Stars on ESP is 'performed in the main
by Warren Defever (guitar), Karin Oliver (vocals) and Trey Many (drums).
All written by Warren except 3 and 5 co-written with Erica Hoffman, 8 and
9 with Matthew Smith, 13 with Mark Kozelek of Red House Painters, 14
written by Trey Many. Tracks 2, 10 and 15 are variations on a theme of
Woody Guthrie's 'This World is not my Home'. 'Last One' is a gospel
version performed by the ESP Family and a hand-picked choir...'
Apologies if this info has already been posted to the list.

Aside from the blatant stupidity of the mentioned record store
employees, one of the reasons that the HNIA cd is not being found
everywhere is because ADA is handling the distribution for this 4ad
title. Furthermore, some stores that do order from ada are getting
their orders late due to some sort of corporate excuse regarding the
rush before the 4th of July. For myself, being 2 day UPS ground time
away and doing my order last Mon. and still not seeing it makes we
wonder what else is going on.

Yes! Every single store I called acted like I was speaking another language. I
had to spell the name out for one stupid girl. She then cheerfully replied,
that indeed, it was out today. "Yes," I told her, "that's why I'm calling."
Of course nobody had it (though the helpful chap at Streetside records informed
me that they got the promo copy today--big help). Add me to the list of
frustrated 4AD fans.

Gee, I *like* "Aion", but I have to agree with much of what eine'xile said
about "Spiritchaser": it's lame, doesn't go anywhere, never even gets near
"Milk & Kisses" (which I'm also not raving about), and in parts sounds
tackier than a bad Bel Canto song.
I've never been wild about Perry, and now have to wonder how this album
came about... what happened to the solo work he was doing? Did it turn
into this?
Take "Song of the Stars" as an example. The percussion works well enough,
and I for one don't mind the faux birds, but the synthey guitarish loops
laid over it all just make me cringe. Have I become so prejudiced about
Perry that I'm now inclined to criticize his pronounciation of a language
I know nothing about? I'm not sure, but while Gerrard sounds wonderful
(and convincing), Perry's interpretation falls flat for me.
I remember frowning when I picked it up in the store and saw the sleeve.
For those who haven't bought the album yet, I'd recommend taking a cue
from the cover art: what you see is what you get.
Anyone wanna trade for a copy of The Mirror Pool?

Well I think last I heard he helped Nick Cave write a song for the Batman
Forever soundtrack.
If you can get by the dreadful U2 wannabee New Order drivel on the disc.

supposedly breathless will have a new album in a few months. they have had
some personal problems i hear but are ready to dive in again. this is from an
article i read a few months ago when after the compilation cd came out

I second Joseph.
Why do we have to hash that shit between those people,
To them: don't you think is better to continue your discussions by
personal messages instead of make it public?

Has any of you heard this ethereal-noise band?
I know it was the group of Christian Saville from Slowdive, but
only have a 7" single with 2 songs: Breathe/Sleep. But God i just
LOVE those songs!!
So is there anything else by Eternal?
Regards.

Hey i wanna join in the fun! Too bad nobody told me when orbital was
playing =( Opus 3's "It's a Fine Day" is loaded with vocal samples,
but it ain't tracey thorne. It's ms. opus herself, spliced to bits.
Okay, i'm just makin' it up, but i'm not the only person who hears
edit points all over the song.
Mary Margaret O'Hara wrote a funky song for Holly Cole's "Don't Smoke
in Bed" album.
Last i heard of Breathless was the Heartburst compilation cd,
which was supposed to be an introduction for the uninitiated
to prepare for the new album. A couple years later, where is
it? Mebbe i missed it when i was living in the swamps?
Liz Fraser's "Song to the Siren" is lovely, but still doesn't beat
the whole TMC "original versions" cd.
I got a ticket to DCD this month, but i don't think i'm goin. Not
worth the vacation days to me, after Spiritchaser.
Saw Come last night. The whole time i was scared Thalia'd commit
suicide in the morning. Kinda puts a damper on a great night of
music eh? They played hnia "Livonia" over the p.a. between bands,
really cleared the crowd out. I was impressed.
Would internetters really listen to compressed over-the-modem digital
radio rather than going to the record store to hear new stuff?
If y'all are gonna flamewar, try to cut out the big quotes of elvia,
okay? Kinda defeats the purpose of a killfile. However, the
"friends of e" line could be a reference to a dance tune from
'91 or so by "friends of carlotta", or "f.o.c.", with their
super-catchy song, "fingerfoc" (or somesuch).
