It's fine to have rational discussions on a list such as this, even if
it goes off topic (I think it is, anyway).  However, when people start
to get hot under the collar and sling mud at others, things have gone
too far.  When yr point of origin/residence becomes a subject of
ridicule on a music discussion list, it seems to me that the accuser has
overstepped rational thought.  Let's stop being so personal with the
generalizations!
        In my opinion, the majority of people, no matter their background,
suck.  Is this a fair judgement?  Probably not.  It is simply based on
fact that the ratio of people I encounter who I dislike to the ones I
can tolerate is badly tipped in favor of the former.  Finally, I'd like
to ask that people who wish to disparage a country, corporation, music
type or otherwise keep criticisms targeted at probable causes rather
than (for instance) the citizens of an entire country.  That's my
thoughts on an already-dead subject.  Thank you.

                        Chris, that misanthropic kid brooding in the corner.

 This is "Crumb Duck" - the two NWW remixes of Stereolab (on "Refried
 Ectoplasm"), and some NWW tracks.  I love the Stereolab mixes
 (anal-retentive Krautrock fans will inform you that one is a straight
 Neu rip-off), haven't heard the NWW tracks.

I guess you should make sure you see Jesus of Montreal, or Exotica, or

And just maybe the US could play fair in the whole deal instead of saying
"buy our stuff, but we're not buying yours" (viz. wheat, softwood lumber).

Canadians would complain about anything, even if the US didn't exist.

Yep, same one. "7 Compartments" is a little less pop than the rest of
it, but basically the same sound. Tastes vary! If you like "7
Compartments", you'd probably enjoy it. Don't mind me.

I purchased this last week, having heard the 2 tracks on "Refried Ectoplasm".
I was disappointed to find out that the rest of the recording is, as Jack
pointed out, NWW tracks with no Stereolab involvement.

As for the quality of the tracks, the two collab tracks are fine, but
the NWW tracks I don't really care for.  Thing is, I bought this
expecting to hear some NWW tracks, but I was also expecting to like them.
It gets shipped back for exchange tomorrow.  Maybe I'll exchange it
for "Xuvetyn".. :]

Cheers, Brad

Subject: No More Canadian Shit/ Dreampop list


    As for the country bashing thing listen: THE WHOLE PLANET SUCKS so
STOP BITCHING! LIFE SUCKS! EVERYTHING SUCKS!

    One thing that doesn't suck however is my taste in music. Could
anyone get me the address of the dreampop list if it is still up
please.

     Any news on the Sundays or MBV? Any bands that sound like these
that are any good? There's nothing out there that is good (as in good I
mean stuff I like.) I hate it when that happens. It means I'm losing
intrest in the stuff I like, which means that I'll be spending money I
don't have on cd's. Ever have that happen? It'd be the 2nd time for me.

      One more thing... A while ago I compared Magnetic Feilds w/ the
Crash Test Dummies and people said I was on Crack. I they do sound like
Crash Test Dummies. The deep voice, the acoustic instruments. C'mon
make the connection already.

Subject: URLs in 4AD-L archives


I've been following 4AD-L on the www.evo.org archives, as it's easier for
me than being subscribed now, and i've noticed that the machine strips
out some things, particularly any URL starting at the beginning of a
line.  It's probably some quirk with the way the server handles the text,
but it's causing me to miss a lot of URL references.

Let's see what will and will not go through....

*test mode on*

1. URL Starting with "http://"


2. URL Starting with "URL: http://"


3. URL Starting with "www.xxx"

www.nyx.net/~cmhanis/lanois.gif

*test mode off*

Anyone referencing a URL in their mail to 4AD-L might want to take into
account this quirk so people viewing the archive can get to it (i.e., I
still haven't seen the mystery parade site yet).

anyone who actually cares to look at my design can see:

        country could choose non-participation. many individuals,
        especially in open societies such as canada can choose
        non-participation. but you cant have that computer,
        or that stack of 4ad products, or that stereo without
        paying a price. part of this payment is the forefiture
        of your freedom to choose not to participate.

        in addition to the various political entities actively
        and successfully resisting americanism, there are
        untold numbers of individuals, many within the borders
        of the most industrialized countries on the planet,
        who actively and successfully resist americanism.

        but amongst those who choose and champion this way of living,
        i think that you'll find that those who share your (cedric)
        all-or-nothing view of what is and what is not "communist
        corporate americanism" are either (as mentioned in a
        previous post) eating berries and living in trees, or
        living in rustic cabins in montana and blowing up
        college professors.

        the two are one. wherever you find a US sponsored
        'democracy' you find corporate muscle on one side
        of the street, and a goon squad on the other (cia,
        nsa, contras, and other freedom fighters ).
        but the fact that you can imagine otherwise indicates
        (to me) the half-bakedness of your diatribe.

        oh, most certainly. what suprises me, however, is how
        thousand-years-old countries--with rich cultural and ethnic
        memories and fierce nationalism--seem to fall over themselves
        in their eagerness to emulate the american lifestyle and
        mindset (present-mindedness).  my own theory is that they
        are simply being seduced. it happens to the best of us.
        seduced by the promise of an escape from misery through
        buying things. this is the absolute basis of americanism.
        our tragic flaw as humans is that we are lazy, and will
        substitute spirit for easy comforts. home theater and a t-1
        connection to the 'net.

        i struggle with these concerns daily, and i dont mean
        to change your mind. i do hope, however, that the
        all-or-nothing attitude you seem to have will withstand
        some constructive criticism. i myself have been ravished
        by the seduction of 'things'. records, speakers, computer
        equipment, the house, the car, the furnature....
        and i try to do what i can to help. do what i can to
        make this society even a fraction more humane than it is.
        but i cannot get up on a soapbox and accuse anyone of
        americanism without first accusing myself. i am responsible
        for it.

        and until we can all get together, turn off the computers,
        quit buying, quit working like slaves, quit allowing magical
        green tickets to rule our lives, we _all_ have to accept
        the blame for what we've got.

        it's my fault

The Stereolab songs of course are wonderful... I've heard them close a
show with this material once and it was nearly religious.
The Nurse With Wound tracks are kind of what I call 'whirring & clicking'
techno/ambient. They kind of hover at the edge of music and
semi-industrial/mechanical background noise. Interesting but not my cup
of tea.
BTW I can get this disc at about $20, which is a little less than the $28
I've seen it going for in most of the indie shops 'round town. If
anybody's interested, post me privately.

"One Note Samba" is, I believe, one of those classic '50s Samba songs. A
sample from a wacky '60s Moog rendition appears on "Transient
Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements", I think at the end of "Pack Yr
Romantic Mind".

"Surfboard" was performed by the maestro Juan Garcia Esquivel back in the
early '60s, not sure who originally composed it. It's on the first of the
recent Esquivel compilations, "Space Age Bachelor Pad Music" (term coined
by Byron Werner to describe the whole Esquivelesque genre, later nicked
by Stereolab.)

Herbie Mann is a well-known jazz/fusion flutist.

Sounds like a cool track, I may have to hunt down a [used] copy of the
comp.
