By the bye...
does anybody know what became of the proposed "Noise of Carpet" single? I
saw a couple of one track promos, but am still salivating for another
full ep worth of the 'lab.

Every so often I, too, am not above wanting to tell the odd one or two
to...you know... But this is really getting stupid.
I understand. Really I do. Sometimes the best laid, intelligent counterpoints
just don't do itthe way a heartfelt, time-honored "FUCK YOU" can. But for the

your affections PERSONALLY and NOT the entire list.
If it's just killing you to send it to the list, at least have the common
courtesy to fit that "F.U." in the subject line.
It does the trick, doesn't it? And it allows the rest of us not on your
personal shit-list to delete the post without any mail-opening hassle.
Added bonus: It also prevents subsequent constipation of the list by
so-called witty retorts such as this.

welcome to the list.
I must add my two cents and praise the ladies who lunch. It is a great little
record. It references kraftwerk all over the place, including the answering

available.

It's been well over 2 years since their last album. Does anybody know what's
up with Portishead? Have they broken up, or are they working on something?
I'd appreciate it if anyone knows what's up with them.

With all this talk about the Breeders, it makes me wonder what Kim is up
to these days? Is she working with Night Cruise (kimand kell with
members of GBV)? I heard that Kelley quit the Breeders because she
wanted to just be in the Kelley Deal 6000. and now Josephine has the
Josephine Wiggs Experience on Grand Royal. Maybe Kim should just stick
withe Amps...it would seem like the sensible thing to do...I think the
Breeders had their day already, anyway.....anythoughts???

no, she was still in the Muses when the Breeders came out. The
Breeders was initially supposed to be a side project of both Tanya
and Kim, with Kim writing all the material on the first album and
Tanya on the second (apparantly due to some contractual thing where
Tanya had to wait a while to release any songs not written for the
Muses). Before a second album was made, however, I guess Tanya felt
that the Breeders was really more of Kim's thing and her best bet was
to go and form a third group all her own, leaving the Muses and
taking bassist Fred Abong (who had just joined the muses recently) with her.

Perfect Disaster, among others. She also played bass for Ultra Vivid
Scene on tour.

As the safari ep was released in 1982, two years after pod, and has
no repeat tracks associated with pod i'm not really sure where you
get that idea. Aside from the fact that Tanya was still in the band
when this stuff was recorded I don't particularly see this version of
"do you love me now" as being particularly "Donneley-ized". It is,
however, better than any of the other versions. That track is the
weakest of the three original songs on the ep, btw--which is to show
the excellence of the other two, not to slam "do you...." The cover
of the who that appears on the ep, however, is atrocious.
> I would also check out as

I wouldn't. I would just stick with the first three: Come on
Pilgrim, Surfer Rosa, and Doolittle.

By the way, since you love last splash you may want to give a listen
to Pod before buying. It's rather different. Personally I love Pod
and Safari while I find Last Splash to be merely mediocre.

well, they won the mercury music award last year and had a (uncredited)
track on the help ep (that ep released by the war child project for kids
in bosnia, don't know if it was on the lp). i also saw their name on the
bottom of a film poster in a tube station the other day but i can't
remember the name of the film and it didn't say what track they'd
contributed so i can't tell whether it was new stuff or not. they seem
to still exist though.
maybe there's some news on the go-disk pages...

Heard the new Stereolab single on the Mark Radcliffe breakfast show
this morning. Still half asleep so didn't catch the title, but did hear
that it is released on November 18th here in Britain. They were claiming
the 'world exclusive' after they played it, or so they said.

Well, it happens to irritate me. Maybe they've done some really great stuff

Nothing really. Just glad to see the boy eventually snapped out of it. And

Does indeed sound stupid, but that is musicians for you. Always thought
that Mike Hunt sounded a bit dodgy, but this is the first time I have heard
it was an alias. Didn't Britt want the credit or was there some contract to
Slint that meant they couldn't put her name on the sleeve?
Also where did Carrie Bradley get to after playing on 'Pod'? Was she just
a session musician they roped in or is she a regular contributor to bands?

As we speak Kim has been busy writing. She spent some time in NYC with some
other members of the Breeders and I think she is now back in Ohio. We hope
there will be a record done for the fall of '97.
Mojave 3 are touring with Lisa Germano in Europe. They have been writing
songs and will begin the recording process after the tour.
Tarnation are just about finished recording their third record (2nd for 4AD).
Tanya's first Single will be released in just 4 short weeks.

Geoff Barrow has been keeping himself busy doing various remix
work is what I heard of him last.As for Beth, I couldn't tell you.
Maybe the fame was too much too handle for them and they are just
laying low for awhile and seeing how the scene evolves.

I've only met one Icelandic person and he _definitely_ looked alike.
pure-impure list. One sentence summary: good stuff if you're looking for
a poppier early-Seefeel kind of thing, but the vocals are at times a bit
too Enya/Sarah-McLachlan-like for my tastes.)

Have heard nothing of colloborations by Josephine with Sonic or Jason.
Could this be the project with Jon Mattock, Honey Tongue, you are thinking
of. He was the Spiritualized drummer at the time. Relaesed back in 1992.
Do you know who the Josephine Wiggs Experience comprises of, except
for herself of course? Be real good if they made it over to England, or
at least onto record.
