I understand that Lance Hogan and Ronan O Snodaigh, who tour with DCD, have
their own band called 'Kila'. Unfortunately, I haven't been successful in
finding any of their releases here in the states. Would you any suggestions
of where I might find their albums?
Thanks.

I've received a few questions about the "Topolino" compilation album
from Lush. Here is a brief recap of the subtle differences between the
Japanese and Canadian versions...
The first version, released by Nippon Columbia in Japan on August 31,
1996 (COCY-80351), features eight tracks. It is identified as a '96
Japan Tour Special. Here's what is featured on it:
1. 500 (Shake Baby Shake) Remix
2. I Have The Moon
3. Ex
4. I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend
5. Matador
6. Piledriver
7. I'd Like To Walk Around In Your Mind
8. Carmen
9. Plums & Oranges
Several months later, November 25, 1996 to be exact, 4AD's Canadian
licensee PolyGram decides to release an expanded version of "Topolino"
(76974 2110-2) Note the expanded yet quite different tracklisting:
1. 500 (Shake Baby Shake) Remix
2. I Have The Moon
3. Ex
4. I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend
5. Matador
6. Outside World
7. I'd Like To Walk Around In Your Mind
8. Carmen
9. Shut Up
10. Cul De Sac
11. Demystification
12. Tinkerbell

hello fellow liszties----
i have a problem. my HNIA ep got a big scuff on it and now track 3 won't play.
and its my favorite!
but, we are heading to Washington DC this week for a little vacation, and i
thought i would look for an extra copy while we're there. i've never been,
so if anyone can point me to a store that stocks 4AD import EPs, i would be
much appreciative.
oh, and if someone wants to send me a couple of bucks for postage, i'd be
glad to send this scuffed HNIA EP to you. The first 2 tracks play fine, I
think the fourth one does too.
thank you alot.

The Gus Gus media-circus event happened last friday night in Reykjavik
with various press and company people from all over the place present on a
pleasantly mild and clear Reykjavik evening. The venue is something of a
landmark on the city skyline, being a large dome built upon six huge watertanks
on a hill overlooking the city. The top floor is a revolving restaurant that
does a complete 360 degree circuit every two hours, and in the basement there is
an artificial geyser that shoots up a jet of water about 20 metres every now and
then. The gig was on the ground floor, and was packed out - an odd combination
of biz people and Reykjavik's 'exuberant' youth. The Gus Gus live event largely
consists of two banks of keyboards and samplers, occasional guitar and a
plethora of vocalists and dancers, and the set was more or less the album jigged
about (although the versions of the tracks often so radically different as to be
almost unrecognisable). Emiliana Torrini guested on vocals on 'Why' and 'Is
Jesus Your Pal', and the show ended with a storming version of the Orbital-esque
'Purple' by which time the stage was overrun by people dancing about. The
visuals were good, and earlier they showed the video for 'Believe' which is a
bit bizarre. There were moments when the show creaked a little, but on the whole
it was pretty damn fine.
Whilst in Iceland, I picked up Emiliana Torrini's second solo album,
'Merman', which is a nice, if brief mixture of covers and originals. They
showcase her voice well, and some of the tracks are really impressive. But
covers of things like Joni Mitchell's 'Chelsea Morning' are a little pointless.
Most people know the original, and a new version does little for it. On the
other hand, 'Red Woman Red' is plain weird - delivered in a manic croak that
sounds like Jarboe at her most demented. Worth a listen.
I also got the latest album by Kolrassa Krokridandi called Kold Eru
Kvennarad which contains a mixture of songs in Icelandic and English. Imagine a
cross between Hole and Tsunami with a bit of violin thrown in for good measure.
They're exceptionally good, and I hope somebody lets the world outside of
Iceland hear their music soon. The 'Sign Kolrassa' campaign starts here.

Heck no; if it were me there'd be a '40s revival and we'd be wearing zoot
suits instead of lame oversized corduroy pants dragging on the ground.
Styles seem to be caused by terminally jaded clubgoers in big cities who
look desperately for something, anything, that's been lying dormant for a
while and revive it without any thought to its intrinsic quality.
>did you live through the 70s? what were so bad about them?
Oh man. I could write a book. The '70s were the hangover from the
ridiculous ideals of the '60s, a time when the conformity of the '50s had
been overthrown and people wanted to do their own thing but didn't have
any intrinsic taste or style yet. The '70s were UGLY. Oak paneled
kitchens with avocado-green or harvest-gold appliances. Self indulgence
at all levels. Bad guitar solos. Bad hair. The whole "superstar"
psychosis. Thank god for the Ramones and the Sex Pistols is all I can say.
>alot of what i hear

Where did this come from? You're arguing against something I didn't say.
>...and 4ad was, imo, not an "alternative" to that "cheez wizz"...it was
>just as much a part of that historical era...
Tell that to the people who listened to 4AD back then. By your argument,
4AD or whatever cool music we listen to now isn't an alternative to
Mariah Carey or Alanis Morisette or Pearl Jam or Metallica or Snoop Doggy
Dogg, it's all part of the mid-90s historical era. How perceptive.
>convince me that there is no influence from any
>60s, 70s, or 80s artists in any 4ad artist's output
Did I say there wasn't? Did you _read_ my post or just skim it?
My point is that there was a tremendous amount of cheesy crap music
generated in the '80s that was reviled by the people at the time who
listened to stuff on labels like 4AD or SST or Homestead or Wax Trax. Now
for some reason a lot of that stuff has become "retro" and trendy. My
hunch is that a lot of the people buying into this trend were preteens in
the '80s and absorbed the stuff unjudgmentally. But heck, I was a preteen
through most of the '70s and I didn't end up liking Boston or Journey or
Styx!
I'm obviously not saying that all '80s music was crap, probably about the
same proportion of crap as in the '90s or '70s. (And as always, most of
the stuff that made the charts or commercial radio airplay was crap.)
There were a lot of great bands in the '80s like Bauhaus, Cocteau Twins,
PIL, Sonic Youth, King Crimson, Tones On Tail, Laurie Anderson, the
(early) Smiths, Cabaret Voltaire...

It's soooo Crazy It Just Might Work: A Musicians Networking Dream
SACRAMENTO, CA -- Some said she was crazy. Many told her that creating a=
free web site for musicians would be pointless and and not to mention=
foolish! "It'll never work! Don't quit your day job," her peers scoffed. =
However, Webmistress Dawn Henson didn't listen, she let the music move her,=
and created the currently "over-popular," West Coast Musicians Online=
(WCMO). "Just for the love of music!" =20
Said Henson, "it's a special web site designed to be a musicians networking=
dream. The web site is designed to be fast, easy to access, with basic=
frills, excellent band reviews, and a plethora of unusual and useful=
content for networking band members." =20
With over 1,900 hits in just a few months WCMO promises to be the most=
radical networking environment for up-and-coming, amateur and professional=
musicians, managers and producers. Hundreds of musicians have networked=
through WCMO. Said Henson, "I can't believe how the site is booming! It is=
wonderful that they keep coming back! It think musicians use my page=
because it offers a variety of musical genres; music contacts from around=
the world; valuable resources for music industry research; and because they=
receive quick and direct e-mail correspondence." =20
WCMO offers a thrilling environment for musical views of all kind. Amateur=
musicians have the chance to correspond with real musicians who are=
professionals in the industry; who are actively gigging; and who are happy=
to lend advice regarding the music industry and its competitive=
environment. "It's a perfect site for the beginning musician to get his or=
her feet wet," said Henson. =20
Included on the site are: Free Musicians and Instrument/Equipment=
Classifieds, a (new) growing national/world-wide gig calendar, hundreds of=
links to new & popular bands, musicians, music managers and music teachers,=
PLUS fantastic exposes and surprises. The music lover and musician alike,=
are even offered links to private and major record labels and music zines. =
=20
Henson updates the site once a week and interviews new bands once a month. =
Regulars, who come to the page are encouraged to submit and share=
commentary. Their diverse and sometimes wild views can be found at WCMO's=
home page link to "Open Mic," which according to Henson, is now looking for=
new submissions for the Spring. "Response is always phenomenal, so if=
artists want to contribute to the musical realm of Open Mic, they'll have=
to e-mail early. You can always find something extraordinary going on at=
WCMO," Said Henson. =20
Recently Henson christened her unique web site with an exclusive review and=
interview with the unusually "WEB" friendly, Internet savvy, rock band=
"haymarket RIOT." There you can find out about this daring band that is=
planning to take the Internet experience by storm with its CD ROM music=
project. To find out more about haymarket RIOT, journey to Henson's page=
at http://www.cwo.com/~eella/index.html. If you are a band or musician=
interested in an interview please call (916) 689-4927 (and press 3) or=

Of course it's "post-Nazi", since 1960 > 1945. What's your point? I
presume the only reason you're saying this is as a cheap shot, to throw
in a loaded word.
And as for "increasingly brutal" do you have anything specific to share
with us? Germany in the 1960s was a very comfortable place with a high
standard of living and a generous welfare system. Sterile, perhaps, but
hardly brutal. J G Ballard has proposed that the terrorists of the
'60s-'70s may have come about as a semi-psychotic reaction against, and
paradoxical result of, the sterility and conformity of this environment.
Which is an explanation but hardly an excuse.
Note also that the Baader-Meinhof gang were supported and sheltered by
the East German state, which only the most deluded could describe as in
any way less "brutal" or "Nazi" than the West.

By "pro-active political collaboration" I take it you mean terrorism, the
kidnapping and murder of innocent civilians? This kind of sugar coating
really disgusts me.
As someone whose roots are German (although I spent only my first few
years there), and as someone who believes in peaceful approaches to
conflicts and in freedom from violence, I'm really offended by those who
try to paint murder and torture as excusable political actions.

I'd try something first--get some 400 grade wet/dry sandpaper and try to
buff out the scuff. CDs use an 'Archimedes Spiral'--that is the groove
with the pits and lands starts at the center and goes counterclockwise to
the outside edge of the disc.
Buff the cd gently ONLY in direction of the groove, NOT across it (outside
to inside=NONO). What you've got is a cross lateral scratch that keeps
fooling the laser into re-reading it.
This may ruin the disc and if the scratch goes too deep you're out of luck.
But $.69 of sandpaper may just rescue your $16 CD.
