I'm not sure how many Toronto listies there are here
but some might be interested to know that Rachel's
are playing at the Rivoli tonight Monday Aug, 19.
$8 to get in and Snailhouse opens. Anyone going?
Not sure yet if I can (working overtime stuff), but I'm
going to try. Anyone have any reviews of this tour
for Sea and the Bell (I think that's the name of the
new cd).

Mark Kozelek appears on the new ep by San Francisco singer/songwriter
Hannah Marcus, "Demerol." Mark plays on and produces all four tracks, plus
adds backing vocals to two of them. Musically, sort of like Heidi Berry,
but without drums. Sorry if this is old news.
The new Scenic album is absolutely fantastic! Also has one of those
infamous "hidden extra tracks."

There is another way to hide a track using the same principle. I have
one CD (I can't remember which it is) that lists 36 tracks and a
unlisted song is on track 36, but there is another song hidden between
something like track 20 and 21. If you skip thorugh the songs, it
starts at zero, so you don't relize that the song is there...

Well, actually, I just sent an e mail to Rich at 4AD about this very
subject. Here is the portion of the letter that explains it all...
****
I remember sending Jenny a letter asking for a Simple Machines catalog
before "Listening Cap" came out. She sent me a catalog with a nice
little note attached. Nice! But then, out of the blue, one night she
called me at home!! She talked with me for almost 20 minutes! She's
very nice and explained lots about things with Liquorice, Tsunami and her
label. I asked questions like: "Why is there a guitar "burp" near the
start of "Drive Around" - is it supposed to be there?" and she replied

The Jive Bombers may have had a top 40 hit in 1957 but in 1996, they are
as popular as ever!!
Because I'm on constant 24 hour Jive Bombers alert, I was able to find
these two fun items while surfing yesterday. This first one is from the
Bantam site. It features The Jive Bombers mentioned within the context
of some allegedy true story. But, is it the same band 4AD is involved
with or what???
Farewell To Manzanar
By Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston
and James D. Houston
Bantam Starfire
Jeanne Wakatsuki was seven years old in 1942 when her family was uprooted
from their home and sent to live at Manzanar internment camp--with
10,000 other Japanese Americans. Along with searchlight towers and armed
guards, Manzanar ludicrously featured cheerleaders, Boy Scouts, sock
hops, baton twirling lessons and a dance band called The Jive Bombers who
would play any popular song except the nation's #1 hit: "Don't Fence Me
In." Farewell To Manzanar is the true story of one spirited Japanese
American family's attempt to survive the indignities of forced detention
...and of a native-born American child who discovered what it was like to
grow up behind barbed wire in the United States.
??
This next Jive Bombers factoid was taken from the entertainment section
of some Australian newspaper's web site. Perhaps an Aussie lister can
verify this one... This post is dated from June 21st of THIS YEAR from a
listing of upcoming concerts in the Sydney area. Who did I find included
in this list??? Why, The Jive Bombers, of course!
METRO on MUSIC
Friday, June 21, 1996
INSTANT KARMA Hogs Breath Saloon, Westfield, Tuggerah, 7.30-10.30pm.
INSURGE (politico rock) Jolly Frog Inn, Windsor, 9pm-1am, $7.
JELLYBEAN JAM (popular fun rock) Woolloomooloo Bay Hotel, 8-11.30pm.
THE JIVE BOMBERS Sydney Harbour Casino, Darling Harbour, 11.30pm-2.30am.
THE JIVE KINGS Redfern RSL Club, 7-11pm.
While I guess I can live without seeing Jellybean Jam's brand of popular
fun rock at the Woolloomooloo Bay Hotel, I was kinda sad at missing The
Jive Bombers at the Sydney Harbour Casino during their THREE HOUR show.
Watch out for 4AD's release of the "Bad Boy" album from The Jive Bombers
sometime in 1997, right after the limited edition Brendan Perry box set
comes out. Jive Bombers fans of the world unite!

Well, I haven't seen them yet (they're coming to KCMO on the 26th), but
I did hear some of the new material. It was straight ahead Rachel's. No
Big surprises. I don't think that this current tour is necessarily in
support of _The Sea and the Bells_, however. It sounds like they are
going to do a more extensive tour later. I am kind of expecting them to
perform some stuff we might all be familiar with from the first two
albums (and hopefully that Lounge Ax track).

Hello, everyone!
I'm going to create unofficial DCD homepage, mainly because of lack
of bootleg info. on the official page. I know that bootleg section
was removed from it some time ago because of Brendan Perry's request,
but i think he's wrong here.
The problem is that i have only 3 BLs ("Europe 1987", "Mystical
Rain" and "Hidden Treasures").
So if you have any bootlegs, please, send me info about them.

Okay, Here is the update. SInce the 4AD site does not offer much of this
info (while it is being reconfigured) I will spread the news. I apologize if
it is too US-centric
LUSH-just started Tour Dates in the US with bands as diverse as Imperial
Teen, Muzzle, Gin Blossoms, Goo Goo Dolls, etc. The next single is "Ciao".
Finally a chance for bothe LUSH and Pulp to breakk in the states.
HEIDI BERRY-record to be released on 9/10. Heidi will tour as much as
possible. She may not make it to the US until January
THROWING MUSES-Catch them on tour now, because the bigger Kristin gets the
harder it will be to tour. 7" and singles available. From some huge and
pessimistic MUSES fans I have heard that the tour is absolutely fantastic.
Bernie, David, and Kristin are definitely grooving like never before. I may
be a little biased but this is one of the best bands in the world. The
Eropean tour starts in the middle of the Sept. They will proabably bring an
american band across with them to tour.
LISA GERMANO-album out 9/10. Check out review in Rolling Stone. Small Heads
is the first single. I love a Snot is the second. October tour with Mojave
3.
GUS GUS-"Polyesterday" An unusual collective of musicaians, artists,
filmmakers, etc. From Iceland they have a decidedly different viewpoint.
Be on the lookout for more 12" singles at the clubs. They
Date: Mon, 19 Aug 1996 13:04:39 -0400
The Gus Gus full-length will not be out until March 17th (or so).
Paladins-9/24 Playing various dates all over the world. Antwerp 9/7. LA
10/8. and many more. Dave Gonzalez is probably the best guitarist that 4AD
has seen yet. They will tour extensively during the fall.
HNIA- The US tour begins in just a few days. Tour dates have already been
posted. They will tour Europe again.
Mojave 3- touring Europe with Lisa Germano. They are presently sound
proofing the Barn. A bunch of the members have moved out to the country to
work on the new record. Neal has already wrote a number of songs. M3
showcased some of the new songs on the Shaving The Pavement tour. "Been
Trying to reach you" is a personal fave.
Pixies- probably won't be out for another year. Discussions progressed and
everyone came to the agreement that what we were doing was not quite good
enough. Thus when it finally comes out it better be good.

StephaneSommet@Creme Brulee asked the poser:
>Can anybody tell me how to transcript the lyrics of a CD with Windows 95?
The only lyrics on the Win95 CD that I know of would be to the hidden
.WAV file of Bill Gates singing "Sympathy For the Devil" in his annoying
nasal off-key voice. (You can have this file installed in place of the
usual Brian-Eno-composed startup sound by holding down some weird
combination of keys during the install process.)
I don't think there are any lyrics available on the CD itself, but any
Rolling Stones songbook should have the lyrics to that song.
[Personal to R. Dunkin: Oops, was I over-intellectualizing? Sorry, I'll
go listen to some Jerky Boys until I feel properly stoopid again. They
maybe I'll post some pointless one-line replies to messages. Coooool.]

It's just a given that anytime you buy a lot of things that have Warren
Defever on them you will get various sound blips that don't fit the
general mood of the recording, or something completely different that
what you expected. When my label released the Melody Farms EP with His
Name Is Alive/Little PRincess, I was expecting something semi relaxed
with female vocals, but as any of you who might have the 7" know: That's
not how it is at all? In all actuality, it sounds like instrumental Elvis
Hitler and then towards the end incorporates more lo-fi noise for a brief
moment. As Warren and I both agree, there's nothing better than changing
the albums you release as much as you can just to keep things original
and keep your creativity high....

Sebadoh - Harmacy (Domino)
Eagerly awaited, and no disappointment either. Both live and on record,
Sebadoh could veer from the inspirational to the forgettable with alarming ease.
Bakesale changed all that, and although Harmacy is more a consolidation than a
major leap forward, it's still a cracking record. Interestingly, Jason has more
songs than Lou for the first time - maybe the legendarily prolific Barlow muse
is running a little low. This may have been a problem around the time of Bubble
And Scrape, but Jason's long since proved himself a more than capable writer.
After a couple of listens it's hard to pick out any particular highlights - the
whole thing is of a consistently high standard. Can't wait to see them again -
it's been a while. The last time was the night Kurt Cobain died - a show that,
spookily, they only played because the Nirvana tour had been cancelled.
Air - Modulator (Mo Wax)
It's been a quiet summer for James Lavelle's brilliantly eclectic, and
consistently superb imprint. This is all about to change with releases in the
pipeline from Innerzone, Andrea Parker, Dr Octagon and, of course, the mighty
Shadow. First out of the traps is this three mix offering from Air (of whom I
know nothing). It's a breezy, mellow drum and bass thing - perfect for
sweltering summer evenings, with a great hip hop/rap mix by DJ Case tacked on
the end.
Palmskin - Condition Red (Hut)
Former Mo Wax mainstays Palmskin's debut release for their new label is
four track ep of spacy hip hop, and furious drum and bass. Condition Red itself
has a thunderous echoey beat, and Up And Down is more of the same only mellower.
Beats Of Burden is a slow drum and bass thing with pretty minimal adornment,
whilst Accepted Weekly Draw is a real jungle headrush. Excellent stuff.
Finally, UK copies of Limbo in the shops come with a poster and a rather nice
carrier bag. Not through Mail Order they don't though - are you listening down
in Alma Road?

>Air - Modulator (Mo Wax)
Isn't "Air" one of Pete Namlook's many aliases? I know he has releases on
Fax (seriously ambient whooshy stuff) under the names "Air" and "Air 2".
Or are those the CD titles with the artist being implicitly Pete Namlook
even though he's not mentioned on the sleeve?
And then of course there's the totally unrelated Air Liquide. Sounds
like somebody needs to come up with a more creative name...

I was just wondering what Air Miami and Kim Deal were up to. Are Air Miami
totally off 4AD now? Are the Breeders split for sure? When is that Air
Miami EP coming out? Oh, and is Tarnation's first CD "I'll Give You
Something To Cry About" still available and where do I get it and is it
worth buying? ummmm....okay...that's all the questions for now...
thanks,
matt

This is just another ploy by 4AD to keep the diehard fans frustrated and
just at arms reach so that it will bother them enough to come back for
more product later in the vein hope of getting a cool rare item.
4AD really goofed by giving the poster/carrier bag to only CWNN stores!

there will also be a 'final' tour performance here in the Detroit area yet
to be scheduled.
tentatively it will be held at Alvin's downtown Detroit appearing with Low.
