I'm sorry if this has been discussed already, but I saw a listing
for a new Breathless album called 'Midsummernights Dream'.  It
said it was a compilation.  My question is, does it exist, and
does anyone know what tracks are on it?

1996 was the first year 4AD made a consistent effort to put a [p] & [c]
note on the back cover.  All the Lush releases, some of the scheer ones
and Paladins sported copyright notices on the back art.  Some like HNIA
didn't while the "Sliding & Diving" EP didn't credit 4AD with a
copyright credit at all.  Sorry, just being anal-obsessive...

Also, I was watching "Twister" earlier this week and noticed that
whoever typed up the end credits got Tanya Donelly's name wrong.  It was
spelled "Donnely".

 High to all listies:

I'm thrilled, excited, and more than happy to announce, that as from
March 1997, B.N.E. Records will be officialy the 4AD and Beggars Banquet
licencees in Israel.

I've been on this list for several months now (although not so active),
enjoying the debates as well as the information passed.
As label manager for these labels, I hope I will be able to contribute
more to this list, and of course to bring this brilliant music to as e
many people as possible (even in a small territory as Israel).

Peace & love to all,

Eitan.

Subject: cultural sophistication.....


I have a question for all of you listies...

What does it mean to be "thislisty"? Does it apply to music only?  What
about movies.. or works of art.. or authors? Or mass marketed pop-faddish
items?

I started thinking about this the other day, when I was posting about Lois.
I couldn't think of any possible way in which she was "thislisty" and yet
I know that a great many of you would enjoy her music.

There are other things as well.  Can we discuss the Brothers Quay's
animation *simply because* HNIA used them in their videos?  What about
retro pop 60's furniture being discussed in relation to, say, the Amorphous
Body Study cd by Stereolab? Don't get me wrong, the main discussion here
should be, above all else, music. But authors of tangent discussions
shouldn't have to feel that they have to justify their letter content
because it is not "thislisty"..

It has been my experience in meeting people from this list (one of which in
particular is one of my best ohio-an friends of all!) that we have a
certain cultural sophistication.  I can best describe this with the
following scenario... If you met Person A and Person A *loved* HNIA or RHP
with all of their innate being, would you not be utterly shocked if they
also adored COPS and the Macarena and ultra-NEON colors and Jim Carrey
movies?

I am not trying to be a cultural elitist.  I am merely pointing out that as
4AD music is so idiosyncratic, the people who enjoy and revel in it very
likely have the same taste in say, clothes, books, movies, etc. I think it
would be an interesting set of topics to explore.  Granted, there are
different subsets within 4AD fandom.. space-rockers, swirly romantic gothic
types, popsters.. each  having carved out their own niche... But still, I
think that when you meet someone who is a 4AD fan, you expect a certain
level of cultural sophisitication.  It's almost like a secret password,
right? "Oooh, *you* like the Cocteaus as well, do you?"

This is just me rambling. What do you think?

cheers,
lisaroo-ina svetlana of the southern roos...

Last week, I spotted a 12" by a band called Horseland in a used record
store. The only reason I took a closer look at it was because I thought,
"Hmm, the sleeve looks kinda v23" and sure enough, the sleeve *was* done by
v23. The label was Red Rhino, and since I'm drawing a blank on both the band
and the label, does anyone (maybe a v23 obsessive) know what this is like?

I received both the new Throwing Muses releases from Rycodisk today!

(they're faster than they say they are...)

The six live-at-the-studio recordings on "Live to Tape" (VRCD 0354) are
very good. Kristin is introducing every track by saying it's title... No
hand-clapping between the songs. I hope they will release more bootlegs
like this. This record has no sleeve - just a plastic+white paper envelope
with a small blue - girl with a rope - sticker to close the thing. Total
playing time: 22.09 (but you can play it more than one time)

The extra tracks on the Freeloader cd are worth buying the record for, I
like the 'Live Remix' version of "Take"... Does anybody know why 4AD isn't
releasing this one?


Get those small, round pieces of silver stuff, plastic and ink at:



And a Happy New Year to you all!

I've noticed similarities from some of my friends who like obscure
music.  But I think it stems from the fact that we are malcontent with
popular music and it basically branches out to popular culture
(oxymoron? you make the call) in general.  So it does take a little work
to find the music, books, films, etc. you truly enjoy, but it makes
life, and you, much more interesting.

        i agree entirely with you,  there are other things out there (ie:
art, books, etc.) that are at least as beautiful, thought provoking,
interesting.  i also agree that this list should always primarily be about
4ad music, though things you can make an association with,  either real or
just incidental should be treated as just as valid of a thread as any other ...

        for instance where i live in L.A. there is an artist named borodin
that paints the most beautiful works... they could easily be cover art for
any cocteau's, see feel, MBV, etc... type band if you saw them, you would
fall in love too ....

        what do the rest of ya think ?

hi,

    A friend is looking for a couple of CDs and asked if I could help
him. They are by an outfit called Bubonique who apparentley are signed
to a Newcastle, England, label called Kitchenware. The CDs are : "20
Golden Showers" and "Trance Arse Volume Three". Has anyone heard of
these ? are they still in print ? catalogue numbers ?

    All info is gratefully appreciated.

okay, here's the low down on Trenchmouth, as far as i know....

They are four guys from Chicago, i believe.  They broke up, though.
Their last CD "The Broadcasting System" was released in 1996, so they
must have broken up pretty recently, i'm not sure. I think they had 2
albums before this one, or maybe three.  I know that Fred Armisen the
drummer has some sort of mariachi band going now, and all i know about
the other members is that the singer Damon guest sings on the new Lois
EP.  Here's the address for their last CD:

SKENE!
p.o. box 4522, Saint Paul, MN 55104

Surprisingly, though, i found my copy real cheap at Best Buy!

hope this helps...

Matt

          [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Hello all.

It's been a while since I mentioned what's been
going on at Dewdrops Central, so I thought I
should give you all another semi-yearly update.

Dewdrops Releases
-----------------
1996 saw the release of our first vinyl 7" single,
something which was delayed for a number of reasons for
lack of a sleeve. Just about every excuse you can imagine
could be justifiably applied to this matter, both good and
bad, but without wallowing in it, I'm happy to inform you
that we're back on track with a completely redesigned
and much better looking sleeve which will be completely
finished and printed up by the end of this month. It's
really not going to be much-- 1 color plus black printed
as a fold-around at a local cheapo copy center (that's
all we can afford!) but it'll look very nice and suit
the release. By the way, the music is a sample of
everything we've done up to this point, and is therefore
now officially known as the Dewdrops Primer 1996 (having been
called the Sampler or Christmas Sampler before). 4 songs
from Hover, The Moon Seven Times, Elysium and Orange.
Ask for more details or see our webpage.

As many of you know, we have four other releases,
which, coincidentally are by Hover, Elysium and Orange,
plus the one that started it all, Thurtene, which began
as a little 4AD-L tribute to 4AD (cover versions,
what else?). There are only about 200 copies left
of Thurtene, and once they're gone, that's probably it.
We'd much rather invest in new stuff than keep it in print.
We have plenty of our other releases available.

Other Releases
--------------
Having discovered the music of Faye Wong on a recent trip to Hong Kong,
thanks in part to the numerous Faye Wong - Cocteau Twins
connections, we knew we had to offer her material in our
catalog. We currently have a handful of two of her most
recent CDs, Impatience (the one with the Cocteau Twins-written
songs) and Random Thinking (the one with the Cocteau covers).
Since we have so few left and no guarantees that we can order
more, please email me to reserve one. Since these are imports
bought from a distributor, the price is a bit higher than our
other CDs: $15.50, basically at cost.

NEW!
Another album I came across in a small stash of cutouts
very recently is the second For Against album December. I have
only 8 copies of this, and am offering them at a very
reasonable $7 each. If you don't know For Against, and you
like chimey, poppy guitar bands, then you should get to know
them. This album originally came out on IPR ages ago, and as far
as either of us can tell, these are the last CD copies
available anywhere. IPR still has some cassette copies.

Coming up:
We are working on bringing you CDs already out by Luminous Orange,
The Sensualists, Super 31 and others, and I promise to keep
you updated.

Splashed With Many A Speck
--------------------------
This is the title of our upcoming compilation, scheduled for
a March (the month, not the label) release. Two CDs, nearly
30 bands, 97% original material (one band's doing a Lush cover),
over 2 full hours... It's a huge project and a dream come true
for me. It will be the truest statement to date of our mission
to bring you uncommon music. Most of the material is in hand
right now, and we're just waiting on the final few bands who
are competing to be the one who turns in theirs the latest.
Many of the names should be familiar to you:
Scenic, Half String, Alison's Halo, Orange, The Curtain Society,
Faith And Disease, Lanterna, Luminous Orange, The Sensualists,
Love Spirals Downwards, lovesliescrushing;
plus there are others that probably aren't: Starlight Conspiracy
(formerly hover), The Von Trapps (formerly Elysium), Starblind,
Heavenside, Dear Dark Head, Bethany Curve, The Floating House,
Eight Page Story, Super 31, Chicklet, Venus Swirls...
It's all amazing!

Fanzine
-------
If you thought it was a long wait between #14 and #15, then
you're probably wondering where the heck #16 is, since it's been
even longer. The conspiracy of life prevented us from taking
very many big steps forward with this, but half the reviews are
finally done. It's going to be the largest issue we have
ever made, by far, now that we have no restrictions on weight/postage,
so look for 60+ of our characteristic double reviews.
We guarantee to have it out around the end of Winter, if our reviewers
cooperate. Additionally, some new features and faces (maybe literally) will
be making a first appearance. Basically our mission is to review
the best "uncommon music" we're aware of (indiepop, noise, ethereal,
experimental, drone, dreampop, darkwave, ambient) subject to
the limited numbers of CDs we can purchase ourselves, and the gems
we occasionally find in the huge selection of crap that's sent to us
by labels and bands (it's funny how totally inappropriate they can sometimes
be).

Web Page
--------
With all the other stuff going on, this has lowest priority
at the moment. There's no Java, no frames, and only the most
bare essentials that one could put on a webpage. But most of
our information is there somewhere and you CAN preview
an Elysium song from the CD. IUMA has a full song from Orange
as well. If anyone wants to help out with this, I'm sure we
would be eternally grateful. We can't pay you, except in
gratitude, CDs and zine issues, but if you're interested,
contact me by email.

Well, that's about all I can think of... As always,
I'd like to thank you all who have brought us from our
dim beginnings exactly 7 years ago to the
sort of grey state we're at now. It's been tough, but
we're still going, and you can always find us here.

Cheers,

Does anyone know (especially UK listies) if Nigel Grierson
ever released a book of his photographic work or a monograph
or exhibition catalogue of his work? I am trying to work on an
essay for night school on photographic uses for the depiction
of musical ideas. I really have loved alot of Nigel's 23 envelope
photos especially the Cocteau Twins stuff. Any help or
addresses of galleries or offers of selling items welcomed.

Steven
