I was wondering if anyone out there has a copy of the
Muses cd, "The Real Ramona" either on cd or tape that they would be
willing to sell at a reasonable price.....I don't have a car and for the
most part the music stores nearby my location don't really invest too
much of their stock on music that isn't brand new and Pearl Jammie.
Please let me know if anyone would even copy it for me.....I just dearly
want/need/MUST have it. -please-
Thanks in advance----

Well, not quite thislisty, but vaguely connected... I noticed (in an ad
from some big chain store) a CD soundtrack to some show from the
discovery channel done by the Residents. Does this strike anyone else as
rather odd?

Hullo to the listers...
Does anyone know if the misspellings in the lyrics to Dead Can
Dance's "Ullyses" (sp. Ulysses) are intentional? -->oh, the
implications...<-- I would've chalked it up to bad spelling and worse
proofreaders were it not for their misspelling of the word "Oddysey"
(real sp. odyssey) ...a pun, perhaps? "on an Oddysey of
self-discovery..." .... hmmm....
any and all input welcome...
and freak freely...

Very little 4AD content. Be warned :)
Ever since my store started buying used CDs, we've gotten in an amazing
amount of good music. Yesterday, I found two copies of A.R. Kane's "69" on
a cart full of used stuff, for $3.49 apiece. Mind you, I'm one of the only
two people in my store who are familiar with A.R. Kane....and I was rather
pleased with the find, considering that these Rough Trade issues have been
out of print for quite a while..
so much for the 4AD content....
I've been hunting madly for the elusive Galaxie 500 discs. Finally found a
place in Denver that can get them, for a good $19 a pop :( . Also was informed
that there is an import-only (of course!) disc of B-sides and outtakes....
but never despair, fellow Wareham fans....once certain contractual binds are
taken care of, there are at least three labels that want to put out G 500
reissues. Perhaps by April or so....

HEY, I THINK IT'S BRILLIANT!!! Great song, great vocals, great everything.
But I would have much rather seen one or two more tracks rather than two other

Nah, lets keep this Public... Imagine, Godflesh on the 4AD-L.
Pure is Much better than Streetcleaner. PURE sounds more mechanical, and
noisier. The Percussion on the title track "pure" is the greatest thing
ever. SLAVESTATE is also good... it's a mini-album / maxi-ep thing
released between STREETCLEANER and PURE. SLAVE is also better than STREET.
But PURE is a must have. I fully recommend it. Even my goth friends like
it because it's so dark and evil. I have yet to hear the new album... I was
very disappointed w/ the COLD WORLD ep...
> It's not like I listen to it every day - but when I'm in the mood...'You

Neither do I... but once in awhile I need something to accompany my
"I'm gonna kill everyone I see / I hate everyone" mood. Helmet is also good
for this (mainly the first album, and some of MEANTIME).
If you live in a dorm or in an apartment/house, and you want to clear the
room really fast, Godflesh and MBV's LOVELESS do a great job.
Oh yeah, I think Peyote translates to Godflesh in Native Indian.
I read that somewhere.

I think I know why some people have said that the new Throwing
Muses material reminds them of House Tornado. First of all, it's
really good! Also, "Bright Yellow Gun" has the same feel for me as
"Juno", probably especially because of David's playing...

Not to sound like some idustry connection person, the new Eden album is
supposed to come out in Februarry or March. For those who were asking, Eden
is obviously still together, but has a different set of members but Sean is
still the main Eden person. And from what I have heard from people who
already have heard it, the new album is very different from anything they
have done previosly. They said it was more psychedelic-rock (in a cool way)
rather than medeival/world music sounding.

I just had this emailed to me, a transcription of a Love Spirals Downwards
review in, of all places, the Orange County Register (OC is one of
California's Republican strongholds for those of you unfamiliar with the
area). I must say, the writer does seem to have some familiarity with this
style of music, which is suprising for a conservative newspaper:
Love Spirals Downwards
"Ardor," Projekt
Los Angeles' Love Spirals Downwards is one of those bands for whom words are
at once essential yet meaningless. With its ethereal grace and sonic
splendor, Love Spirals Downwards' songs can't bear pedestrian titles such as,
oh "I'll Make Love to You." Instead, it has to announce itself with all the
pomp and poetic circumstance of a triumphant march: "Mirrors a Still Sky,"
"Avincenna," "Kykeon," "Depression Glass," Sidhe," and " Sunset Bell" are
just some of the titles on the group's second album, "Ardor". Yet, as with
obvious inspirations such as Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance, the lyrics to
the individual songs matter less than the mood the songs convey as a whole.
Soaringly romantic and hauntingly brooding, "Ardor" practically celebrates
an elegant brand of Euro-cool. In other words, this duo is on formerly O.C.
based/now Pasadena based Projekt Records instead of England's 4AD label, but
the latter certainly is the Love's spiritual home.
Yes, the twosome of Ryan Lum and Suzanne Perry deal in many cliches of the
genre-airy vocals, echo-laden guitar, vague washes of Eastern
sensibilities-but they do it with a sense of panache and grace. Tracks such
as "Write in Water," "Avincenna," and "Subsequently" share a moody,
hallucinatory presence.

I'd send it to everyone. BE WARNED, this is anal 4AD stuff...

think it contains the entire album.

both the US and UK. The UK cat. no. is DAD 4015 CD and the US cat. no is
45769. It contains the entire album.

A note, 4AD has gotten really confusing with promos lately, what with their
US/UK stuff. Most of the recent albums have been released as a promo CD in
a white and orange slip case only and others have been released as the
regular CD with a "promo" sticker. The recent singles are usually released
as promo CDs that also do not differ from the regular one except for the
sticker. I personally don't count these as "real" promos. To make matters
even more confusing, sometimes 4AD gets really diabolical and releases 2
promo versions. See, the white and orange slipcase promos usually have
different artwork on the CD from the regular version. What they do is then
take some of these CDs and put them in the regular jewel case. I've seen
this for both PALE SAINTS and DEAD CAN DANCE. I don't count these either.
I hope this helps. Enjoy! And Andrew, sorry I couldn't get back to you or
respond to you directly.

_University_ reminds me of _Red_Heaven_, with a few elements of
_The_Real_Ramona_ and _Hips_and_Makers_. No surprises.
I *wish* it reminded me of _House_Tornado_, though. Does that
count?
They played acoustic Monday on WFNX (local KROQ-equiv). "Bright
Yellow Gun" and "Hazing." Typical interviewer asking all the same
questions. At least he left the Belly thing alone. Kristin made a
point of saying that she and Dave didn't live in Boston. That made
me happy -- All of the newspapers and radio station up here claim that
Throwing Muses are from Boston. They are, of course, from Newport
Rhode Island. We (ex-)Rhode Islanders don't have much to be proud of.
We have to stand up for ourselves and reclaim Throwing Muses as our
own. ;-)
The songs sounded surprisingly good, given WFNX's usual
"live-in-studio with one microphone" approach.
I really do like the new record. It took awhile to grow on me
(got the advance from a friend a few weeks ago,) and it's not going
to change my world like the first four releases did, but it's a
good solid record with a few great songs ("Snakeface" and "Crabtown"
especially.)
At least she didn't feel a need to include another prominent
vocalist on this one. She's much better all alone. Bob and Mike
crowded her out, kinda like that Hope Sandoval / J&MChain thing.
She does do more multi-tracked vocals than usual.
I still miss Tanya.
(Overheard in a record store a few days ago:
female #1: "did you know that Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly from Belly
are sisters?" (sic)
female #2: "yeah, I read that somewhere."
female #1: "wouldn't it be cool if they were in a band together??"
Truth is stranger than fiction... :-)
