New 4AD signing Gus Gus will be performing in their hometown of Reykjavik,
Iceland on Friday January 31st 1997. The event, in Perlan, will be held by
4AD in London in co-operation with Kjol & Anderson (Iceland), Warner Bros.
Records (USA), 4AD (USA), Polydor/Mercury (Canada), Virgin (France), Rough

Since signing with 4AD in 1996, Gus Gus' releases - the EP,
'Polyesterday', it's accompanying short film, and a series of much sought
after promo 12"s, have attracted an enormous amount of interest in the
group. The film, 'Polyesterday', has been shown on a wide variety of MTV
programmes (Alternative Nation, Party Zone, Chill Out Zone) and their music
has been heard nationwide on UK's Radio 1.
The Reykjavik show precedes their London debut at The Riverside on Thursday
=46ebruary 13th 1997, the release of their new single 'Believe' (February
17th) which features superb mixes by LFO and 16B and their much anticipated
debut album 'Polydistortion' (April 7th). Gus Gus follow this with an
eight-date American tour in June and the European festival circuit
throughout the summer.
The Reykjavik show starts at 22.00 and 4AD and Kjol & Anderson have
negotiated special deals on airfares and hotel accommodation for the event.
=46lights from the following destinations to Iceland are =A3220 (UK):
Amsterdam, Baltimore-Washington, Boston, Copenhagen, Fort Lauderdale,
Glasgow, Halifax, Hamburg, London Heathrow, Luxemburg, New York, Orlando,
Oslo & Stockholm.
Additionally, there is a special deal with one of Reykjavik's best hotels
of =A335 (UK) per room (single, twin or double) per night.
If anyone requires further information please contact Cliff Walton @ 4AD in
London ([email protected]) or if anyone would like to book please
contact Baldur Stefansson from Gus Gus on ([email protected]). Closing date for
bookings is Friday 24th January.

This sounds about as facinating as an american version of absolutely fabulous,
which, thankfully, fell through. The American movie version of Nikita was
bad enough, artistically and financially, so I can't figure why they'd want
to drag it out again.. What's next, an american version of Breathless on

It was pushed back to early '98, i think it had something to do with
timing the releases of "Limbo", Kristin Hersh's solo album, and her baby
juuuuust right.....
can't wait until it actually happens, though...
speaking of the Muses, can someone give me info on the song "Matter of
Degrees" on the Matter of degreese soundtrack? The song is rad...it
sounds like it could have been an older song re-recorded.....

I LOVE AbFab, but I really don't think ANYONE, American or not, could

hi there 4ad-l folks,
because of the fact that i'm looking into buying some new musical
equipment, i've decided to part with a few kollector-skum gems along with
some not-so-hard-to-find items. i would like to sell these for a
fair/decent price (i.e. i don't want to rip anyone off), but don't wanna
give'em away either. so i figured i'd hold a mini-auction.
today is tuesday, i shall end the auction at 11:59 CST on friday,
january 17th. i will send ONE update to interested parties on late
wednesday night/thursday morning as to the status of the auction, and
that'll be it until the final outcome. i will not hold items for longer
than two weeks...if no payment for items is received by then, items go to
the next highest bidder (if any). payment by money order is encouraged,
checks=1 week to clear.
questions about items are welcomed.
shipping? extra, but cheap ($1 for first item, .50 each
thereafter), items will be sent priority u.s. mail unless interested
parties wish elsewise...then we shall figure out shipping costs.
...bit enough details, here we go. items are in stellar condition
unless indicated otherwise, min bids in u.s.$:
CD
-----
slowdive - blue day (MIN BID $20)
pale saints - mrs. dolphin (obi strip and insert included, MIN BID $20)
cranes - lillies (u.s. promo collection, 6 tracks, MIN BID $10)
cranes - jewel (u.s. edition, 4 tracks)
pieter nooten/michael brook - sleeps with the fishes
stereolab - laminations e.p. (recent promo w/3 unreleased tunes and a
remix of "metronomic underground", MIN BID $15)
VINYL (sleeve wear is noted, but all discs are extremely clean)
------
this mortal coil - sixteen days/song to the siren 12" (some minor sleeve
wear)
marc & the mambas - untitled (double LP from marc almond & freinds, on
some bizarre, some minor sleeve wear)
what makes donna twirl/to nije sala LP (brad laner-related stuff from
1989, corner rip on inner sleeve)

on DIDI records)
boo radleys - at the sound of speed 7" (marble vinyl, on spinart)
boo radleys - every heaven e.p. (original rough trade vinyl, small scar on
cover corner where original price tag was)
tones on tail - ???? (collection of first singles, on
situation two, MIN BID $12)
some bizzare - s/t (original compilation from this label, sleeve wear is
apparent, but a good comp. early depeche mode, blancmange, the the, etc)
wolfhounds - happy shopper e.p.
wolfhounds - son of nothing e.p.
CASSETTES, all in perfect shape.
---------
lush - words & music (u.s. radio promo for the Gala compilation. all the

segments)
his name is alive - home is in your head (u.s. promo, no different from
album. on a maxell tape w/typed insert)
cocteau twins - victorialand (4ad cassette, nothing real special)
...and that's it for auction items.
***i have a copy of the "mai pen rai" cd also, it's in great shape except
for an address-label sized discoloration on the front where a pricelabel
used to be. for this reason, it wouldn't be fair to auction it, but if
someone would like it, i would trade for disco inferno's "technicolour" cd
or this heat's "repeat" cd.
interested parties please reply via email ([email protected]).
thanks for listening.

i watched it tonight just to see what curve song they'd choose. unless i
was switching channels when the song came on, they didn't play any curve.
the only song i recognized was the third song on the Chainsuck album
(a name almost as nice as the legendary Windbreakers). the show had that
USA Series look to it. Not sure what causes that. This first episode
retold the story of the movie, complete with the down-the-garbage-chute
scene. let's just say monday night programming isn't much more exciting
now than it was before this came along.

Evening all,
I may be able to get hold of a copy of the Cocteaux bootleg _Lovers Are
Mortal_ (orange vinyl, limited edition of 500). Does anyone have info on

I forget what the song is, but there's one where because of the space
connotations of the band's name, the director has seen fit to cram the video
full of footage of rockets taking off and shots of the earth that have
nothing to do with the song.

I was talking with someone at Mercury in Canada and he says his release
sheets obtained from 4AD mentioned the "Demon" EP (BAD7006CD) from
scheer is in fact an Irish-only release!! It will apparently be
available only in Ireland, the sub service and exporters. Go figure!
I also talked with a lady from Warner Music Canada. Not only did they
not know any release dates for Tarnation or Tanya Donelly, they had no
idea who they even are. "Donelly used to be in Belly... Belly recorded
for Warner Bros. You know, 'Feed The Tree'..." I quized the rep
further and they did confirm with a degree of certainty that Joni
Mitchell, Neil Young, REM and Tori Amos do indeed record for Warner
Bros. I'll call Warner Bros. in NYC or LA to get the real info...

Hello and welcome....
Deadonline (ex print magazine which unleashed Tank Girl on the world) became
an online magazine in 1996, and has begun 1997 with a fistfull of online
auditoriums...
The first three candidates for ritual humiliation and abuse will be the
Cocteau Twins, all three of whom will be present at the live auditorium on
AOL on January 17th at 9pm GMT (what that is in US time you will have to
uncover for yourselves - about 1pm EST). They will be followed on January
24th by The Chemical Brothers and on Friday February 7th by an auditorium
with My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields in his first interview for many a
moon.
Those with an AOL account should go to keyword DEADLINE for details, those
without should wise up and get one (joke, no flames purleeze!)
Apologies if anyone thinks this is not thislisty....

The Tarnation single was reviewed in NME last week (issue dated 11.1)
so I would presume it is some time soon. The Laika single and the debut
from Novak also got good reviews in last weeks papers. Also mentioned
was the new Pram single which was said to be due for release at the end
of this month over here.

> What Laika videos are there?
There's supposedly a very slick one for 44 Robbers. In the Warped Reality
interview, Margaret told us about her friend the video director who made
them a (would-be) big budget video for cheap. I'm pretty sure there's also
one for Marimba Song.
Actually, almost all the Too Pure bands have videos - Th' Faith Healers,
Moonshake, even Pram have a super lo-fi one. Of course I've never
seen any of them...

Just to clarify the difference between GMT and EST: EST is 5 hours slow of

I haven't seen the tape available here (phoenix), but you could probably
still get one from the band. They have a song called Chalkboard James which
is on a CD comp that came with a comic book/magazine called Terra-X.
There is also a World Domination/IPR promo CD that has a new song called
Sunshy, supposedly from their forthcoming album. They've played a couple
of shows recently, all new material, all amazing. Don't take my word
for it, but I think the album has been delayed due to lack of funds.

Thank you all for informing me that the track featured on the
aforementioned soundtrack is available on one of their albums. I girl I'm
kind of interested in had this soundtrack in her room and I glanced at it
thinking "what kind of crap do they put in these movies" and almost had a
heart attack when I saw HNIA. What a beautiful track! No way was I going
to purchase the CD though. I lost enough of my integrity when I bought
Judge Dredd for the Cocteau's track. Oooh, that still makes me shiver.
