The more I think about this, the more outrageous it seems. Holding Our
Breath for $20? Blue Day for $30? They're not worth it. No EP is.
So, if anyone wants a tape of Blue Day or Holding Our Breath, drop me a line
and I'll make one for you. Don't get ripped off.

I recently downloaded a clock program (Mouse Clock) for my Win 3.X (OUCH!
sorry). I clicked on the "About" button, and there it was underneath the title:
Ian Masters
Spoonfed Maximus
I checked the docs and help file, but there was no mention of his
contribution. The only credits were to the author and other misc info.
Does anybody know anything about this?
In case anybody is interesed, visit http://www.shareware.com and do a quick

I'm not so certain this is unreasonable. I sold my copy of Blue Day
a couple years ago for $33. Blue Day was discontinued from the Creation
catalog quite a while ago, and was import only (to the US). It's a fairly
rare item. I wish I hadn't sold it, even at that price.
Holding our Breath ep, might be worth $20 . It's not as hard to get, nor
does it have as much music (only 1 track not on full length CD), but I have
seen others get almost $20 for it... I still think the Slowdive ep is
the most valuable, because it has the second version of Avalyn, which isn't
even on Blue Day.

I disagree with those who think people are getting ripped off for buying
hard-to-find EPs or what-not for prices higher than their original tag.
Items are only as valuable as those who desire them make them. I was
lucky enough to find a copy of _Holding Our Breath_ in a local used CD
store for $10, but this was serendipitous.
What of those who pay $70 or more for early EPs by My Bloody Valentine?
I sure did (for _The New Record by_ and _Geek_) and am glad.
If people have the money and want to pay, let 'em.
However, to be fair, I don't think minimum bids are a good idea;
likewise, accepting high bids post-auction is absolutely unacceptable.
And increasing your profit by "updating" those who bid is absurd. Silent
auction, no minimum.

I believe that it was Bauhaus that did "She's In Parties" at least that's
what the 12'inch I own lists as the artist of that song, yes Murphy is
the lead singer but then again most bands have lead singers but are still
bands.
Not too mention who cares what anyone listens to, musical taste is
abitrary,there is no rhyme or reason why I like Deep and Holy Smoke and you don'

it's just personal taste.

Benjamenta" a few months ago and was pretty disappointed. It's all
live-action, no animation, and extremely slowly paced. Remember the
opening scene of the second-season premiere of "Twin Peaks"? Where the
ancient waiter guy spends seemingly a half hour tiptoeing toward Agent
Cooper? I gather that most of "Institut Benjamenta" makes that seem like
a Daffy Duck cartoon by comparison.
Go and rent "City Of Lost Children" instead, if you haven't seen it
already. It really begs to be seen in a theater on a wide screen, but
even on teevee it's still incredible. It does have that rusted,
broken-down quality of the Bros. Quay animation, and it has some
excellent (computer) animation...

'Holding our breath' definitely IS worth more than 'slowdive' because i
dont think that the track 'golden hair' is on blue day either and this
is one of the best tracks they have done.
I have a white label 12" promo of 'holding our breath' which i might
sell, this must be infinitely more rare than the cd, so its going to
make me rich right?
dont see what all the fuss is about myself, i got all 6 of the eps for
#4 each, although i guess they are some of the best music i own and if
i had to replace them i'd pay whatever necessary.

hee-hee... i would say that i have not heard a song on the radio, or
seen a video for 95% of the bands i love. granted, this is partially
due to the fact that i rarely listen to radio or watch tv because they
both suck. i'm not even sure why i'm still on this list... i guess to
get some helpful pointers from dez, andrew norman, jens, e, brandon,
mr. dean, gil(careful with those reviews, or you're going to have the
guys from projekt trying to hire you), and a few others i know i'm
leaving out. why are you so worried about how music is classified?
i could care less if the entire world likes the music i do. why does
it matter? i listen to bands solely based on... get this... the music.
