Hey,
To all those MBV fans out there the Netalog has the
"Sunny Sunday Smile" 12' Ep for $80.00. I like them and all but not
THAT much. I haven't been able to find the earlier stuff that MBV put
out, how come?
Anyone see the Throwing Muses video last night? I
missed it, I hope it's on again.
One more thing, who did the original version of I have
the moon that Lush did? What a pretty song!

Please use any language you want in this mailing list.
You don't have to believe English is the only
option.
You don't have to address yourself only to people
who can understand english.
This is worlwide internet,

By the time they left Houston, the band had formed an expedition to
Target to purchase odd-end supplies to make puppets for the Dallas show
(they were planning on making the puppets during the drive to Dallas).
Now, as far as whether and how this puppet show went, I'll leave that to
our DFW-area listies to elaborate.
The whale made an appearance for the Austin show (and the whale rocked),
although for the Houston show, the feeling from the band was that the
event was not whale-worthy in the least. Zut alors. Although after the
HNIA set, Warren and cohorts set up a very impromptu acoustic singalong
at the back of the club which was too much fun for words.
With regards to Jason's comments about the very unthislisty opening
bands for the H-town gig, the venue/promoter are responsible for
choosing the Gels and Secret Sunday to play the show (both being very,
very vanilla local alt-rock bands with marginal high school
followings). To be honest, I didn't get past more than two chords from
Secret Sunday and their Blur-sticker-adorned amps, and I only heard the
closing Weezer-esque bleatings of the Gels, but I'm damn sure their ilk
is something I want to have nothing to do with.

'cause Kevin disowned most everything they did before signing to
Creation. In some cases, I completely understand why (REALLY early
stuff like _This is Your Bloody Valentine_ is horrible. No two ways
about it). However some of the stuff is quite good. I have _Ecstasy &
Wine_ and it is every bit as good as more recent MBV releases.

Original by none other than the Magnetic Fields, available on _The Charm
of the Highway Strip_ [MRG055CD]. Of the handful of bands that have
attempted Merritt-penned tunes, I'd have to say that Lush is the most
high-profile cover to date (sorry Mac, it's true. But I'll take your
"Josephine" or "100,000 fireflies" over any Lush cover anyday). Only
one band that I know of has actually managed to out-sad the sad-meister
himself, and that would be Holiday's version of "Candy" (Buddha on the
Moon's "100,000 Fireflies" is close, though).

Oooh, $80. VinylInk is always pushing the high end of the price range.
That is a really good ep though. Not quite as good as Ecstacy & Wine but
a similar style and quite enjoyable. That was back when Kevin was still
happy making sugary pop songs without too much noise on top. Everything
up to Ecstasy & Wine (check the discography to see what that includes) is
out of print. In my opinion, the only out-of-print things that are worth
looking for are SSS and E&W. If you like mbv and have the cash, get it.
You may never see this for sale again.

Not true! Ok yes, Dave was still the primary singer on this one. But
unlike the earlier songs which featured him, this stuff is great!
His singing style isn't annoying at all this time around and he's backed
by such great and catchy music (not to mention pretty backing vox, from
bilinda i'd assume). I swear you'll love this nearly as much or more than
ecstasy and wine. Still, $8 per minute is pretty extreme.

Imagine my surprise at seeing the ESP Continent cd in a local record
store today. Even though I have the ESP Summer tape, I bought it out
of sheer surprise. I didn't think these babies were given a wide
distribution and that there were only a couple thousand copies
pressed? In France? ... uhm, yes, it's pressed in France.
Anyways -- they even had several copies of it. If this is an item
that's difficult to find, I could pop down to the store and buy the
remaining copies and send them to you. They cost 150NOK + 20 airmail
postage to the US times 6.5 is... (/ (+ 150.0 20) 6.5) => $26.
If you're interested, drop me a note (reply to *me*, not the list),
and I'll buy it, get back to you, you send me cash, and I send you the
CD. Do *not* send any money straight away.
And I don't know whether it would be cheaper to order them from, uhm,
Karina records directly, or even if it's possible. Does anybody know?

There's a whole lot more where that came from but very little of it sounds like
*Semantic Spaces*. You might want to try their other side project, *Intermix*,
though.

...okay, here goes. first some background. what is raputina? three
girls, three cellos, some drums. yes, that's the skinny, alright.
thislisty relevance? well, our favorite 4ad mia, kurt ralske (aka uvs),
produced their 7" 'transylvanian concubine'.
NOW, they've got a new record out on columbia entitled, 'thanks for the
ether.' and what a record! 18 tracks of popmusik made with
cellos...there's that sort of insane&desperate sounding atmosphere mixed
with a bit of humor that one might expect from throwing muses at their
best. also, i might throw in a quick glee club refrence; they had a cello
too, you know! there's a song inexplicable entitled 'kate moss'; a cover
of the '70s hit (according to my lovely girlfriend :) ) 'brand new key'
which is essentially about rollerskates (although, i've a friend who
believes their might something more to it...tee hee); a new version of
'transylvanian concubine'; and pjharveyesque (remember 'man-size sextet'?)
song about howard hughes.

Please can you give us a review of Delay Tambor, all i know
is that the silvania's song played by seefeel, locust, etc sound
radically different than their original versions.
If you're glad Neil Halstead collaborate with Locust you
should hear Silvania's Paisaje III or Avalovara. You'll be more than
glad Silvania exists.
> Anybody who has more accurate information, please forward it to the list.
Just a detail, Silvania play and live in Spain but they're
not spains. Even you don't believe it they're from Lima. And that's
why they have songs like "Suen;o Aerostatico", "Trilce", "Eva sobre
Eva", "Mar Amar" etc. I mean that they are influenced by a very known
local culture.
"Se Girasol"

Mercury/Polydor in Canada are planning a pre-Halloween various artists
compilation that will feature some cool and rare songs that fit the scary
gothic genre.
Titled "Music For Vampires", this compilation will hopefully see release
in early October. I wasn't able to secure a final track listing but
highlights will probably include tracks by Love And Rockets, The Birthday
Party, Cocteau Twins, Bauhaus, Peter Murphy, Nico and Dead Can Dance.
Also on "Music For Vampires" is an early 4AD item that has yet to receive
a compact disc release anywhere else. It will be a track from the David
Jay/Rene Halkett single (AD112). I'm not sure which song will be on the
comp but it may likely turn out to be "Nothing", the A-Side from the
single.
Details are sketchy right now but as soon as I learn more I'll post the
dirt here...

alvins is located on cass road near the wayne state university. if you are
coming from 1-75. take 1-75 to the warren exit (one south of the 1-94
exit) and head west towards woodward. you will take warren past woodward.
the next street is cass. you want to go north on cass (make a right).
you'll not even go a mile through the wayne state university campus before
you see alvins on the east side of cass (right side). if you take cass
over the 1-94 expressway than you went just a tad bit too far.
