I gotta disagree--I think this album is less VH1 sounding than any other DCD
album except Frontier. It is one of their best albums ever! They are really
pushing their sounds, incorporating each other even better, and using
percussian instruments to new effects. It is not bland at all--even AP gave
it their best review ever for a DCD album--5 fingers. I am definately not
40, do not have a ponytail, and never watch VH1. One of the best albums of
the year.

WHat does this mean? Am I missing something? Did they break up--I've seen
nothing about this.

Wow, you liked this album? I thought it was simply the worst thing that Lush
ever put out. Having been a fan of Lush for about 6 years, and then to see
this album come out of the largest fuckin'a rock-and-roll studio
here in boston (Fort Apache) I was devestated.
Lush's intricate melodies were shot, and most of their songs were
underproduced and thinly mixed.
Compare, for a moment, the version of 'childcatcher' that exists on the
'all virgos are mad' 4ad limited edition comp (came out about 6 months
before lovelife) and the version that made it to the album.
The one on AVAM sounds like _lush_. The one that's on the album sounds like
some rushed 90's wanna-be bad bliss pop band. *sigh* We all thought the
album was going to be wonderful after hearing that song too.
Just my .02.

Hey out there,
I just got the Lisa Germano "Stars" promo CD and the "Shaving Kit Music"
promo CD through Southland CD in Redondo Beach, CA. They both came in
jewel cases but without any kind of card or paper insert. Does anybody
know if these originally came with such? Please email me privately if
they did and you might be able to make a color xerox for me.
Thanks,
Bill

I remember reading somewhere (might have been on this list) how someone who
had met Brad had heard the original tapes and they were very different.
Isn't American just a division of Warner? Maybe Rick Rubin had something to
do with it...

By 'they', he means that Medicine broke up, not the Cocteaux, if that's what
you were wondering.

ow? Are any bands still faithful to the shoegazing movement? I miss bands like
Slowdive and the earlier Lush stuff.
Thanks to the British Music Press and Nirvana(and other over-rated
retro 70's, sloppy classic rock wanna-be bands), because they killed
the shoegazing movement in Britain.

Sorry Courney Love, bands like prodigy and the underworld are the
future of music. Get out of the 70's Miss Love, it is almost the 21st
century!

I have The The's Black and White/Contraversial Subject 7" on blue vinyl. THe
thing is it is on Inkubus records and has the song Dumb as a Death's Head on
it (which is very good). Does anyone know about this non-4ad version and are
the songs the same?

I am looking for Tarnation's first album, "Something to Cry About" on CD. I
have it on vinyl already. If anyone is willing to part ways with theirs for
a fee or know where to get one, email me privately please. Also, I am
looking for anything Tarnation related (eps, etc.) so if you know of
anything, please write.
EH
P.S. Does anyone know what has happened to the new CHandeen album. I can't
find it anywhere. It is supposed to have a cover of a DCD song. Projekt
says they are not carrying anymore.
