Subject: Michael Brook on Channel 1


Hello everyone,

Channel one is a news program that is offered to schools free (TV's
included) in return for the school watching their daily news program (plus 3
minutes of commercials, must pay for this somehow).


Anyway, yesterday they did a story on the whale that is "Free Willy".
During the piece they played Michael Brook's "Shona Bridge" in the background.

I play a game with my students because Channel one always plays popular
music in the background of their stories.  The game is that I can guess what
band is playing before any of them can.  Well, this was a no-brainer for me.
I was very impressed to hear 4AD music here.  I have had Michael Brook as
the "daily artist" in class already this year.  Some of my kids remembered
seeing his name on the board.  They got extra credit!

I think tomorrow we might hear a little Kristin Hersh.

I will just blow my own trumpet here for a second by saying that I did the
layout and design for this project (though it is very "straightlaced",
Vincent wanted a book like a Faber & Faber poetry collection).  However,
it's nowhere near all of the song lyrics.  There is a listing of the
contents at the semiofficial Underground Lovers website - it's a selection
from their total output.

The (slightly dodgy-sounding) URL is


Their new album is not very experimental sonically, but has some
exceptionally good songs.  Very laidback for a lot of it.  As I mentioned
earlier, they're playing at our magazine launch this weekend, which is
quite a favour to us!

They released an album in 1990, self-titled.

> Is that their only release by Guernica/4AD?

'Leaves Me Blind' was released on Guernica, which was (I think) a one-album
deal.

> from the prior album...

I've seen this in second-hand stores - it is a compilation of their 1994 album
'Dream It Down' and 1992's 'Leaves Me Blind'. 'Dream It Down' lives up to
its title - it is very acoustic/mellow (with strings, etc), while 'Leaves Me
Blind' is more of a guitar noise kind of album.

> So are they no longer with 4AD?  And are they still together?

The Undies are now on their own label Mainstream (quite an ironic name,
IMHO), and are still together (although keyboardist Philipa left last year).
In fact, Underground Lovers released an album in April this year called
'Rushall Station' which is in the vein of 'Dream It Down'. I even got singer
Vincent & guitarist Glenn to sign my copy at an instore appearance!

        i think that MM have taken up the mantle cast off by
        thrill kill kult circa sexplosion. purposefully trying to
        be as revolting as possible not only provides lots of
        laughs for the band and some of their more astute listeners,
        but also serves an important purpose:

        making bob dole, the pmrc, most xtians, and
        similar brainless lowlifes see red (and pitchforks
        and horns).  i think that MM and groups like them
        tap into the idiotic fears and paranoias of
        certain aspects of society and channel that power
        into something worthwhile: entertainment. and sometimes
        they can even use that power for something
        (dare i say it?) transcendental.  take the song
        'burning dirt' by tkk for example...

        indeed to each his/her own, but i think it a bit rash
        to write marilyn manson off as juvenile satanmongers.
        the music is terrific, in the dictionary sense.

     this mortal coil - "it'll end in tears"
     soul whirling somewhere - "eating the sea"
                               "everyone will eventually leave you"
     ride - "nowhere"

well... soul whirling somewhere is good for any time of year, imho.

What others deem depressing, I find inspiring and beautiful. Check out The
Cure's "Disintegration" and "Faith" - no make-up pop there. Also try Cranes
"Wings of Joy" and "Forever". For the ultimate, try Lycia's "Ionia" and "Live"
on the Projekt label. Tell me what you think!

The Cure:  "Faith", "Pornography", some of "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me", and
"Disintegration"

Dead Can Dance:  "Spleen and Ideal", although I find it hard to get
depressed by DCD, when they tend to inspire and provoke thought more than
sadness.

This Mortal Coil:  "It'll End In Tears", "Filigree & Shadow"

Depeche Mode:  Many of their songs can be depressing, but nowadays I listen
to them and think, "This is pretty cheesy."

Joy Division:  "Love Will Tear Us Apart", "Atmosphere", and their music in
general.  "Closer" is pretty sad.

Mojave 3:  "Ask Me Tomorrow"

Red House Painters:  "Down Colorful Hill", "Rollercoaster" album, "Bridge"
album....well, okay, nearly all their music.  "Ocean Beach" and "Songs For A
Blue Guitar" aren't that sad, IMHO.

Subject: get your moods right (was:depressing music suggestions)


I've been reading with interest the suggestions given to Nathan Medema
and it seems to me that some people here are confusing sadness with
depression. and others simply consider every song that is slow and quiet
to be depressing. these two qualities are neither sufficient nor necessary
for real depressing music. OK . I'm a little out of line here. it is not my
place, of course, to tell people what they should feel when listening to
a certain song. the point is: we all probably mean very different things
by the words "sadness" and "depression", and therefore we react very
differently to the same music.

Inspector 12 was the old lady who inspected men's underwear (was it Haynes or
Fruit of the loom?) and left that sticker in there to prove she'd been poking

faith in 4AD.  This band does trip hop better than Tricky and Massive
Attack combined...the song is catchy and poppy and deserves more than
anything released on 4AD this year (except Lovelife, of course) a GREAT
deal of commercial success.

There are also 2 promo 12"s, Gus 1 and Gus 2, and a 12" of BAD 6013
containing a b-side not on the cd (Gun).  I haven't heard these yet, but I
have no doubt they'll be just as good if not better than the cd.

I also got TAD 6017, Ruthie's Knocking.  1 track...1 side.  Not really
economically efficient, I suppose, but the sleeve and the artwork are
pretty incredible.

Anyone know when the full length of Gus Gus is due?  Is it February '97?

Subject: Red House Painters tour


I haven't been reading the list in a while, so I don't know if this has
been posted
yet.  Would someone (re-)post the Red House Painters tour, please?  I just
saw them last night in Washington DC.  Unfortunately they were the opening
band
and so were only given 40 minutes, about 4 - 5 songs.  They sounded sloppy
at the beginning but then settled into a good groove.  Lots of free-form
guitar
solo's as expected.  They were pretty loud.  Sorry, no song list.  They did
do
"New Jersey" pretty well.

I heard they may be playing in Roanoke Virginia on Nov. 1.  Can anyone fill
me
in as to where, etc.

Thanks.

Thanks for all your suggestions...I'll be spending an awful lot of time
in record stores this winter.

Saw a copy of the Doom Generation soundtrack, and was surprised with the
amount of thislisty bands on it...Lush, Cocteau Twins, Curve, Slowdive, Love
and Rockets, Jesus and Mary Chain, Wolfgang Press.

Has anyone heard this soundtrack yet? Is it worth picking up?

Nathan

I would highly reccomend hearing the original version of "Crowd of Drifters",
which Susan sang on.  It sounds much different than the version on _Charm..._.
Course, it's hard to find (it's on Doctor Death's Volume IV).
Also, on the House of Tomorrow EP, the track "Technical (You're So)" has always
sounded to me like a blatant (more so than normal) rip-off of David Bowie's
"Rebel Rebel."  Just speed it up a bit, and boom, it's Rebel Rebel.  Also, both
songs share very similar androginy lyrics.  Anyone else hear it?
