In this month's issue of Spy Magazine there is a humorous article entitled
"Nice Girls...Don't Sell Records." Remembering the passionate debate we 4AD
listies had over Our Lady Alanis prompted me to reprint this article in the
hopes that some of you might get a chuckle out of it.
"...Saccharine singers give 'piece of ass' a chance..."
Loose Chanteuse: Alanis Morissette
Good Girl: Appeared on Nickelodeon's "You Can't Do That on Television" as a
child. Despite her publicist's insistence that 1995's "Jagged Little Pill"
was her debut record, Morissette had in fact released two sugary Debbie
Gibson-derivative pop albums in Canada. They both bombed.
% of U.S. aware of her existence: 0
Bad Girl: Sang about performing fellatio in a movie theater in the P.J.
Harvey-esque "You Oughta Know." Sang about masturbation in "Hand in My
Pocket." Won a ridiculous number of Grammys. "Jagged Little Pill" was number
one on the "Billboard" pop charts for 11 weeks.

debate. I did it to entertain. I urge you to go out and buy this month's
issue and read the rest of the article. Now, on to the 4AD list...
Date: Thu, 7 Nov 1996 14:03:19 EST
Just some things I came across in newspapers recently that I don't think have
been posted here yet:
Swirl has a new ep out. From the review I think it is called "On my Own", or
perhaps that's just a song title.
Phillipa Nihill, (ex Underground Lovers) has an ep out - "Dear Sad" (Rubber
Records, Mainstream Recordings). Sounds like it has about six tracks on it,
(including a cover version of the Bee Gees "Islands in the Stream"!). The
reviewer was happy with the sound, but a little disappointed with the
songwriting. I'll let you know what I think when I buy it.
Also..

there is an official AC's page, I don't have the url at hand right now but
you can go at the link section of reVision netzine, you'll see the url here
under.
AC is active from the early 80's, she started with a keyboardist called Dave
something, if I'm not wrong, that has made a solo album worth of note for
those who like 80's electro new wave.

Sorry, i don't really have anything new to say regarding the new album but
whoever DOES know anything about this--please post it to the list. I have been
wondering where that semi-mythical third album is too. The first two were so
good. I have heard recently that they *are* still around but one wonders
whether i'd even see this album in my local stores considering that the last
album had such a hodge-podge distribution. I'm depending on the "connected"
people on this list to keep me up to date. Don't fail me now.

continuing the Lisa Gerrard music in... thread
yesterday i saw a creepy Packard-Bell (computer) commercial that
seemed to have a few seconds of gerrard-vocal music in it. It seemed to
be her 'droneing' voice simply going up a scale accompinied by
choral-ahh's, not quite in the dcd/gerrard vein, but close. (and nice)
is it her? was it dcd or some other group
(fyi, the commercial starts off by sweeping through some bleak futureistic
city-scape, showing close ups of dirty, grimy, unhappy and miserable=20
people towing cars and what not, then scales away to the happier
countryside showing a woman eagerly smiling at the computer. of course
the music played in the first half, then changies to some poppier melody)

4AD ha sacado 3 discos de HB: Love, Heidi Berry y Miracle. Los 2 primeros
son muy similares en su sonido, orientandose al 'folk'; ambos son buenos. El
tercero, Miracle es el mejor de los 3! En el, Berry utiliza mas su voz en
una manera m=E1 energica y la musica es simplemente excelente. Si tienes que
empezar, en mi gusto el 3ro es el mejor, luego Love y despues Heidi Berry.

I like her album "Hope Road" on Virgin. The title song refers to a
meeting place Anne was supposed to meet up with a guy who stood her up.
She's like Stina or Virginia in terms of a very unique style that is
worth the search to discover.

Yes, I adore her. I just have the album "an ordinary life". "sleeper in=
metropolis" is the best track on this one. the rest of this album can best=
be described as minimalist electronica + melodramatic female spoken voice.=
her other stuff was (about 5 yrs ago) hard to find since it was import=
only, and very expensive. has she released anything lately?

A quesion to the list:
Going through my records the other day, I found a 12" of Peter Ulrich who played
percussions on DCD's "within the realm..."
This 12" is called "Taqaharu's Leaving", and was released on Corner Stone Record
in 1990.
It contains two tracks - the title track and another one called "Evocation".
The music is very much alike DCD, and Ulrich thanks Brendan & Lisa for inspirati
n and help.
Does anyone have any idea if this 12" came to a full length album, and is it ava
lable these days ?
Enlighten me !!!!!
Eitan.

Tanya Donnelly is in Britain this month to showcase her new material.
She is playing Manchester Hop and Grape on the 20th and London Dingwalls
the next day. Obviously only going for small gigs to start with as the
Hop and Grape is the smallest of Manchester University's venues.
Seems unlikely she will chart as the EP is released on low price CD
and a limited edition, double 7" single.
Her new band certainly seems interesting. Dean Fisher (bass), Lisa
Mednick (keyboards)(both from Juliana Hatfield), Mary Larson and Billy
Cote (both guitar and from Madder Rose) and Stacy Jones (drums, from
Letters to Cleo, Fuzzy and Aimee Mann)
This raises a query from me. Have Madder Rose split, if so when did it
happen cos I must have missed the news?
Gail Greenwood has now joined L7 and Tom Gorman is working on his own
material.
Kelley Deal 6000 are also in Britain with a short tour to promote
their new single "Canyon". The tour is from November 20-24th and takes
in Bristol, Manchester, Glasgow, Sheffield and London. Again relatively
small gigs.. The title song on the single is backed with "Get the writing
(off my back)", a dance remix of "Trixie Delicious" and a cover of Willie
Nelson's "Angel" featuring Kris Kristofferson.
Scheer are playing in London LA2 on the 15th giving away a free CD to the
first 500. It will contain "First contact(demo version)" and "(Green room)
Sex kitten".
Snowpony also release their debut single on See No Evil."Easy way down"
also contains "Golden Carriage" and "Hank Williams' Ass". They also have
the "The Little Girls Understand EP" released by the Rough Trade Singles
Club on Dec 2nd.

So -- the most eagerly awaited album (ever!) has arrived. And it's
not at all what we expected, is it?
Now, Stina's first album was (I've been told) a Ricky Lee Jones-ish
affair that didn't really make much waves. Her second album, though,
was a minor masterpiece, that will live on and continue to delight
people for millenias to come. (At least.) It's a jazzy, fiercely
original and intimate release that astounded me when I first heard it,
and I just like it more and more as time goes by.
For the new album she has discovered the electric guitar. Some of the
reviews of this album have made it sound like she's made a heavy metal
album or something, but it's as far from that as it's possible to
come. It's more characterized by its prominent silences than by its
harsh sounds.
I am reminded, in a way, by "4 Track Demos" by PJ Harvey -- the guitar
noises seem to hover in mid-air, not making contact with anything
else. I'm also reminded of the original version of "Frontier" by Dead
Can Dance (found on the Lonely is an Eyesore album). Not to
coincidentally, both these were demo recordings, which is what this
album sounds like. There are plenty of "mistakes" -- things
definitely does not sound "produced". (Reading the liner notes, I see
that most of the songs have "Recorded at my flat", "recorded at Umeaa
church" and so on.) Furthermore, Stina plays the guitars herself and
has produced the album herself, so it's pretty much a one woman show.
However, it's not all just electric guitar and vocals. Here and
there, you have lush strings and flute and stuff. You also have a
very ratty-sounding (and I mean that in the best possible way) drums
that are quite prominent.
All over, though, it has many pauses. Typically you have Stina
playing her guitar, and then trailing off into silence, and then
starting again.
So. Is it any good? I think I think it's bloody brilliant. However,
it may not be everybody's cup of tea, and if you are waiting for
"...and she closed her eyes (pt ii)", you will be disappointed.
Listen before buying, is my recommandation. (Easier said than done, I
guess, if you have to buy it from a mail order service. Will this
album even be released in the US? The commercial potential is nil, so
I would understand it if no US record company feels the calling to
release it.)
