I have come to the conclusion (or deeply insinuated and persuaded to the
belieft) that Ivo signed the Paladins on a drunken dare.
No, now wait. . .here me out on this.
Someone said late one night over the shared 14th shot of the preferred
alcoholic beverage of that evening, "hey Ivo! Who would you sign if you
lived in *Bizarro-land?"
...and without hesitation Ivo said, "the bloody Paladins." and kept his face
brazenly straight and without the slightest hint of an impending laugh line
emerging. His amazed company, wide-eyed, amazed, and presumably their mouth
gaping at his quick retort and his choice of bizzare, bizarro-land incombants
uttered (and stuttered) "I triple dog dare you to do it."
...and the rest my dear listies, is faux-pas 4AD signing history.
* - (bizarro land is the anti-superman land where the earth is square and
kryptonite is consumed like GNC vitamins, and Steve Buschemi is James Bond,
and where MacGyver can't make toast with a toaster, bread, *and* buttah.
hi-ho).

You know I think Ivo has a thing for good live shows. Supposedly he signed
Scheer because of their live show (I do like Scheer though). The Paladins
are legendary in California for their live shows. They have been playing for
ages now down here. Since Ivo lives in LA now, he probably goes to House of
Blues, etc. and was blown away by them. On disc though they sound like any
barroom bluesy band.

too bad we get no more Coctails songs anymore. i laugh so loud listening
to the working holiday track.
i love gastr del sol. the brains behind del sol is john o'rourke. if you
like experimental jazz and rock coming from the knitting factory then you
might like mr. o'rourke's muzik. think... if the knitting factory was
located somewhere in the midwest (like chicago) than gastr del sol would
be the main act... however since its located in new york we get sonik
youth or something like that.
nothing is left to expectation when it comes to gastr del sol.
everything is mixed up in a bowl not unlike tortoise jam sessions. john
mcentire (not the tennis player) is god...

There is a record store in Austin run by the same fellow who runs ND records.
Can anyone tell me what the name is and where it is located? I do not
remember at this moment and I'll be in Austin next weekend to visit a
friend and generally cause mischief. I wanted to stop by, but I didn't
remember the name!
thanks oodles,

I have recently discoverd the author Raymond Carver's short stories.
I was amazed at their honesty, subtlety and breath of emotion. They seem
to be subdued, yet extremely powerful and poignant... full of pent up
longing and desparation, not unlike many of Mark K.'s songs..
Has anyone else read these? Do you agree? I have in mind one in particular,
the Student's Wife which seems to go perfectly witht the cover picture of
Down Colorfull Hill. I understand that Robert Altman has made a movie about
Raymond Carver and his work called Short Cuts. Has anyone seen this? I
haven't
and I was also wondering if it was any good...

My favorite track from Stars on ESP is Wall of Speed.
I have long suspected that the song is a Romeo & Juliet type affair, based
on the ancient myth of Piramus and Thisbe, on which Shakespeare's Romeo and
Juliet and Midsummer's Night Dream were based.
The myth goes as follows, as told by the Roman poet Ovid...
Pyramus and Thisbe were next door neighbors in Babylon, forbidden by their
parents to marry or even to meet each other. They conversed through a
crack in the common wall of their houses and arranged to meet a tomb
outside of the city. Thisbe arrived first only to be frightened by a
lioness that had come to drink in a nearby river. As she fled, she dropped
her veil, which the lioness mangled with her paws, bloodstained from a
recent kill. Pyramus came and found the footprints of the lioness and the
bloodstained veil. he concluded that the lioness had eathen Thisbe and
fell on his sword; as he lay dying, Thisbe returned and in grief killed
herself with the same sword.. They lay together in death beneath a mulbury
tree, whose fruit, which before had been white, henceforward would be
black, in answer to Thisbe's dying prayer that it be a memorial of the
tragedy...
Anyway, I infered this from the title "Wall.." and from the line "Are you
montague?" and from "A whisper falls on a willing ear" and a few other
lines..
I've tried to transcribe the song below.. But also, there is the
renaissance sounding processional music at the end of the song, before it
segues into the Beech Boys song. It's all quite lovely.
I was wondering if anyone else had caught this, or if I am entirely off track
or if anyone's read an interview with Wrn or others who might have
commented on this song...
cheers,
lisarioux

A whisper fall on a willing ear

I know now, sometimes I think
They lead with gentle hands
I miss next to you
Are you Montague?
I'd like to hold you
My arms don't reach
Send me a letter

On a riverbank I linger
Till I see you more
I swim across the water
And then I'm full of shore
I miss next to you
Are you Montague?
I'd like to hold you

I got the limited edition seven of Tarnation's 'There's Someone' in the
post today. I was kind of curious how the new mark 2 Tarnation would sound since
Paula's the only one left from mark 1. Obviously, her voice is distinctive, and
so it's immediately recognisable as Tarnation - but the band! It's vintage
Jefferson Airplane, I kid you not. 'There's Someone' rattles along like a track
from Surrealistic Pillow, full of trebly acid-guitar with Paula's yearning,
slightly hicky vocal (no disrespect intended) replacing Grace Slick's bombast.
The other song, 'I Didn't Mean It' is a long country lament, but still there's
that feel of SF '67 lurking in the background. I have to say, as a habitual
retro-basher, this is fine stuff indeed. I look forward to the album. Until
then, I'll have to make do with 2400 Fulton Street, :-)

i dont know much about this but i think that bubonique are an offshoot band
of the fatima mansions (who also have stuff on kitchenware), a friend of
mine once bought '20 golden showers' and then took it back to the shop
because he hated it!. he took the time to play me it first though - if i
remember correctly it was largely unlistenable but with the odd touch of
genius here and there. as for how to get them - sorry, ive no idea.

I think part of what you see in RHP is the great lyrics Mark writes. They
are very poetic, with an attention to detail. Few songwriters are able to
have such strong lyrics. They generally fade into abstractions. They remind
me vaguely of Raymond Carver. Would be good to use them in a Carver movie.
I have read many of Carver's stories. One of the best writers of the
century. I saw Short Cuts and loved it, but it is rather black.

Hello all:
I'm curious if anyone has seen
the new Kevin Spacey directed movie
"Albino Alligator"? If so, is Michael Brook's
music interesting at all? I'm not planning on seeing
it, but would if the music is really good....
As for that USA Nikkita show: yeah, it was not that
great. Go rent the original French version directed
by Luc Besson instead.
Thanks,
-B
