What?? I thought 'The URL will remain; http://www.4AD.com/'... I've been
checking that one for about 30 times now... What's it doing on the Warner
Bros server? Will it stay there or is it just a test-site?
Anyway, they've deleted the BIG image files and added some more info,
JAVA-stuff and automatic Real Audio downloads, about 80% is still 'under
construction'. The HNIA part looks very nice, if all of the artists will
get pages like those it's going to be a great site. But they still sould
add a complete catalogue (every record/promo ever released on 4AD) and
on-line ordering service...
Thumbs up,

i know that i have heard some of the answers, but here goes some
questions...
what has happened to the Sundays?
does anyone know of a song that has a chorus with the words... "waiting
for mary" in it. i have this old compilation tape that i found from about
1990 or 1991. i can't place the song. it can't be to obscure... i wasn't
into obscure that obscure music at that time. pixies, replacements,
bauhaus, peter murphy type stuff. the song was recorded around the same
time the Pixies released doolitle. the male voice is deep and the chorus
is more talked than sung. it almost sounds like a zombie.
does anyone want to part with these cds
"and dog bones, too" compilation?
"lilliput" compilation?
"mai pen rai" compilation?
"13 year itch" compilation video or compact disc?
does anyone know a "jeffrey with one 'f' jeffrey?"

Well, this statement is rather insulting. It would be one thing if Tom
hated Wang Chung when the "To Live and Die in L.A." soundtrack was
released, and now there was some big Wang Chung revival that we were
buying into. But the album is indeed pretty terrific, and I even liked
most of the stuff on its predecessor (_Points_on_the_Curve), too. Ah,
9th grade...

Hmmmmm...I always thought of it being an alternative to all the
hairsprayed and made-up ("but we're not faggots!") faux-metal bands of
the time. ;G) I mean, come on, sure, Wang Chung aren't *that* great,
but remember Poison, Warrant, et al?
> I'll just go and hum something by Wham! or Kajagoogoo
> while I microwave my risotto...
Grrrrrrrrrr...anyway, I'll hold my defense of Kajagoogoo for now, and
tell you all about some CDs I'd like to purge from my collection.
In no particular order...
BJORK "Army of Me" +3 (One Little Indian UK)
SETI _Pharos_ (2xCD, Instinct Ambient US)
THE DAMBUILDERS _Encendedor_ (Eastwest US)
RICHARD H KIRK _Virtual_State_ (WaxTrax!/TVT US)
PRAM _Sargasso_Sea_ (Too Pure US)
AFX _Analogue_Bubblebath_4_ (Rephlex UK)
Make me an offer, sale or trade. I'm dying for (CD) copies of Swallow's
"Hush" EP on Rough Trade, an original SST copy of Sonic Youth's _Evol_,
and one of the copies of EBTG's _Amplified_Heart_ that *doesn't* have the
bonus remixes (not that I'm anal retentive or anything). Something by
the Jean-Paul Sartre Experience would also be nice...all I have is
_Bleeding_Star_ and I want more!
Damn, still no true 4AD content. I just can't do it.

The new, low-priced 19-track 'Teenbeat 1997 Sampler' (TEENBEAT 221), much
better than last years hit&miss sampler CD, contains a weird Mark Robinson
remix of Air Miami's 'Dolphin Expressway'. Sounds like New Order's
'Ceremony', with a guitar 'solo' by Guy Fixen!
Other great tracks by Versus, Phil Krauth, Containe ("I want to fuck you
like you've never been before" Well, okay, if you insist), Tel Aviv,
Tuscadero, K-Stars, Cath Carroll and True Love Always and some bits from the
archives, including Synthetic Socks (now: Ween) and William & Vivian (Mark
Robinson & Andrew Beaujon).
Anyone picked up Andrew's new 7"s on Neptune & Happy Go Luck? Why did he put
the best tracks on the B-side?

They have recorded a new album, tentatively called "Billie's Songs" -
Billy being the name of Harriet's newborn daughter. I haven't heard

Speaking of un-titled mixes, i have a mix from around 1994 (or whenever
Laika's "Antenna" came out), and their is a song right after the Laika
song on my tape that i've never been able to figure out. It's kind of
MBV sounding...lots of guitars....some feedback.....I have a suspicion it
might be the Pastels? Any Pastels fans out there? The song starts out
with like a short bass intro, than drums enter, then feedback. The
lyrics go something like: "This train's uncertain, look what i have done.
But i'm not ashamed to say that i don't mind." the lyrics are pretty
much unitelligible. The chorus goes "I don't wanna be told that i'm
fool, i just wanna be alone and i know". Anyone know? I'd give out a
mofo reward to know what song it is. thanks for listening...

trey plays much more than just drums in v100...he plays everything, and just
a little to well (am I turning green yet?).
fall sounds is a really great record, definitely worth your $12, even if you
have to go someone that's not your 'standard' record store to purchase it.

another low thread" (Jan 31, 3:23pm)
i was the person that posted to the list about low being dropped
from caroline. here's what i know: i was trying to get on the guest
list for the show because i really don't like the swans and didn't
feel like paying to see them... i would rather give low the entire
ticket price. anyway, my contact a caroline called and left a message
basically saying that she could not get in touch with the band because
they had just been dropped by the label. this was on monday, and she
said that she had just found out about it, and didn't know any reasons.
evidently they dropped just about everyone except versus. after the
show while getting a beer, alan sparhawk was standing beside me and i
mentioned to him how i thought the show was amazing and asked him about
the caroline situation. he said he wasn't clear about the details, and
he seemed a little bitter... but not much. he didn't seemed to be that
worried about getting picked up by another label, and i told him i didn't
think he had anything to worry about(i'm sure that consoled him :D). i only
talked with him for a couple of minutes because i hate doing that type of
thing. hopefully this helps explain some of the mess i started.
one quick thing... i just finished doing an auction that i had been
planning/putting off for almost a year and forgot about two things i
wanted to sell until i saw two posts today. i'll have to check and
make sure they weren't stolen cause i don't know how i missed them
a couple of weeks ago, but i have a copy of the rough trade swallow
ep(is "hush" the title??? all i remember is it has a blurry picture
of a cherry(?) on the cover) and a copy of "...and dog bones too"
that i want to sacrifice for my new guitar fund. make me an offer.
bye-bye see you later on,

albino alligator:
used in billiards to sacrifice a ball to block your opponent's shot,
thereby ensuring your own win...
every once in a while a white alligator is born, an albino alligator.
this oddball reptile is sacrificed by its peers for the collective good.
A day off for me today (Jan. 31st) but still, my roommate woke me up at
Wars" at the York theatre. After enjoying this new model version of the
film, I travelled down to the Carlton theatre and took in the 1:40 pm
showing of "Albino Alligator". It was a surprisingly well attended
matinee showing, at least 90% full! Since I'm a big fan of Kevin Spacey
I was going to see this movie regardless but the added bonus of an
all-4AD soundtrack was icing on the cake. The music created by Michael
Brook was highly effective in this movie. The range of styles Brook
uses are quite varied. Since the film takes place in New Orleans, the
Brook instrumentals have a slight cajun feel to them. At times, the
music is very This Mortal Coil-ish and atmospheric. At other times, his
intense purcussion pieces remind me of an uptempo "Cobalt Blue" style.
There's even a shade of a "Going South" like counrty flare mixed into
one track. A lot of it is rather overall "Heat"-esque and fits the mood
of the movie's story well. There's nifty sax textures used within some
of the songs that brings to mind a "Filigree & Shadow" era TMC. I'm
looking forward to the official 4AD soundtrack to this movie very much.
I only wish 4AD could release Brook's soundtrack to "Fires Of Kuwait" as
well. The movie poster for "Albino Alligator" is nice and I wonder if
it was done by v23. Will the soundtrack sport the movie poster image or
will v23 do up something else for it? We'll know later on in February.
The movie itself, while not a 100% success, was fun to watch and
features a number of cool actors like Faye Dunaway, Matt Dillon, Gary
Sinese and "Heat" vet William Fichtner (the guy De Niro and his team
steal all the bonds from)... Viggo Mortenson (Exene from X's ex) plays
the funniest character - a Montrealer named Guy who ends up being the
most mysterious guy shacked up in the basement bar Dillon and his team
wander into. Kevin Spacey was restrained on his first directorial
outing but will improve as he gets more experience in the director's
chair. The soundtrack is top notch work from Brook without question.
Nifty stuff, indeed!
