For those of you going to AFGTH this weekend in Phoenix,
there are some good record stores to check out:
Stinkweeds
just down the street from the festival on W. Baseline in Mesa.
Basically, if you're on the 4ad-l list, you'd like this store.
Go there. Get their 'Milkbone' review zine. E-mail
[email protected] for more info.
Zia Records
a ways from Stinkweeds, toward Phoenix proper. I was just there
and they have a ton of used CDs and new CDs at pretty reasonable
prices. Eg. Souvlaki new for $9.99, most used CDs $7.99 or $6.99.
I also saw a bunch of Bedazzled stuff, a first ed. copy of Thurtene,
that 'facing the wrong way' 4AD promo CD for an astounding $25,
and Stereolab's 'Amorphous Body Study Center' CD for $29 (sheesh!
I want it, but not THAT MUCH!) [For that guy who contacted me regarding
Virginia Astley-- they have a used copy of 'Hope in a Darkened Heart'
for $6.99.] I may be going back there this weekend, so if any of this
sounds interesting to you, go ahead and give me a shopping list,
and I'll see what I can do.

----- Begin Included Message -----
someone on this list said the american souvlaki is not an album because of
the three bonus tracks. but, if i dub tracks one through ten, do i not
have a dub of an album (there being no difference between the british
souvlaki and tracks one through ten on the american)? if i do not have a
dub of the album, how am it to distinguish a tape with the british souvlaki
from a tape of tracks one through ten of the american?
----- End Included Message -----
i think what this person was implying is that slowdive ruined the feel of
'souvlaki' as an album by adding the extra tracks; original poster, correct me
if i'm wrong. for me, the additional tracks seemed out of place included on
the american version and disrupted the whole feel of the album. though this
does not always bother me, i can't imagine the cure's disintigration without
homesick and, i think, last dance.

I cannot remember where I read it, probably NME or MM, but at the

he gets it all the time. Yeah, he's brought us a lot of great music, but
he's still a normal kid so don't be wishy-washy. If you must, worship him
from afar and pretend you never heard of him to his face. That's my advice

me a line. ha ha.
4AD 10" Series--->according to lil' paula frazer, Tarnation and many other

record a cover version of some song that I forgot the name of for Ivo's next
project.
Twinlights---> I like it. This victory coupled with Need Fire says the new

Favorite CT--->Victorialand. It gives me warm fuzzys. I've also got a Box
Set of mix tapes that will put all of yours to shame. I went ballistic and
matched tempos and faded things in and out and the likes. quite lovely.
Reasons to get HNIAs Man on the Silver Mountain-->because those tracks

the domestic for those few tracks would really suck. Promotional Items do

really good offer for kids on both sides of the pond---> just got access to a

to offer to the kids on the other side of the pond, I can transfer them and
for the cost of a tape and postage I can dub them off for kids. Which means
that if anybody has a friend overseas who were telling you that they taped a
wonderful (music related) broadcast or they have a wonderful live video that
you would love to see, but are unable to justify spending a fortune to dub
over.....just ask me, I'm always looking to expand my collection so it's a

In that case it would be like the original silent "2" in Luna2, although

The Ecstacy of Saint Theresa. Are they still around? What are they doing?
I've been listening to some Bill Laswell / Tetsu Inoue stuff lately and
it makes me think of Free-D. What was the remix disc like, and did they
release anything after it? The album was a pretty damned original piece
of work with a totally unique flavor. Wish I could find my copy. :(
In general, beware of Laswell; approach him with extreme caution--but
both Cymatic Scan and Second Nature are nice in that EoSTish way, if you
ever get the urge.

Sounds like a recipe for a grunge, or at least 80% of rock...the alternate
passages bit is just another way of describing the grunge loud-quiet-loud
trick. My explanation for CW having rocked out is that Rob Dickinson took
his cousin Bruce's advice (whatever that was) too seriously.

Grunge was coined by Mudhoney, actually, to describe themselves and the Melvins
>What about "Die Mojave Gruppe"?
Well, to non-German speakers, it would look uncomfortably like "Die, Mojave,
Die!" I don't mind the 3 as long as it's silent. Of course, they could have
come up with a completely new name (a better solution) but I suppose there
wasn't time for that.

Why does everyone bag on this EP? I think it's great. "Albatross" is

>sounds like

No...Just 4AD sounds a lot cleaner - Holding Our Breath has a lot of nice
*murky* reverb

I agree with that
>slowdive ruined the feel of

No, SBK (their American record company) ruined it. Slowdive didn't want the
5Ep tracks added because they didn't fit with the material on the album, but
SBK went right ahead and did it. That's why the domestic version came out so
much later

I asked Cliff, at 4AD UK, about this series a few weeks ago, and he told me
that "there will be a 10" series some day, but with so many releases on the
schedule it won't be for a while".

Thanks for the offer, but on this side of the pond (Europe), almost all new

But of course. This is how artists signed to record co.s get out of tedious
mega album contracts. Simply release a live album (one that was kicking
around in the cellar for years), a greatest hits album, and a 12" remix album.
Suddenly you have completed three of your four LP contract. Hell - release
a B-sides album, and bob's your Aunty. Then do the fans the ultimate favour.
Once they've bought the lot, release them all in a limited (say 10 million) box
set with crappo artwork and retire in some island resort. Thank you.

I, for one, consider it a greatest-hits, but also that a greatest hits
is an album. The Pink Opaque sounds like a major work. All the
tracks seem coherently placed, one track after another. It's like
Catching Up With Depeche Mode.
Since this is a minority opinion, I would say then that Four-Calender
Cafe is my favorite album. On my CD player, on repeat track, as I
write this: Oil of Angels
What do you think of creating a listserv at [email protected]
and moving over there? How many people have joined the present list
already?
Also, the good folks at Tower say that Twinlights sold 23 copies in
eleven days, 16 the first week, and 7 the last week( 16.9.95 to
7.10.95). 25 were sold all together, but 2 were returned. They sold
out, which they hadn't expected. A big single sells 80 copies in a
week, I am told, but 17 is considered good for bands like the Cocteau
Twins, who recieve almost no air play. It would seem that this is a
successful single for them.
Hopefully they are getting a big chunk of that domestic money :-) .

Back when slowdive was still a creation band (and still a band, for that
matter) the slowdive web page mentioned both films. If i remember
correctly, it sounded like slowdive was going to do the whole soundtrack (!)
for "elephand & mouse" sometime late this year. I haven't heard anything
about it since. The slowdive page is still there, by the way. But the
creation link no longer exists, and most of the links don't go anywhere.

I don't this has ben mentioned yet, but on the new Red Hot + Bothered
compilation there are non-album tracks by Lisa Germano and Liquorice.
Also Kim and Kelley Deal sing back-up and play a few instuments on a
song by Freedom Cruise (basically Guided By Voices). The Lisa Germano
track is "the mirror is gone" and can oterhwise onyl be found (as far
as I know) on the Cry Wolf promo. As for the Licorice, the track is
Little League. I don't know if it appears anywhere else, other than it
is of course not on the LP.

I don't know who this hirschdave type is, but let me just say that the first
two Gadgets LPs, on Final Solution ('Gadetree' and 'Love, Curiosity,
Freckles & Doubt', both from 1980!!!!!) are really GREAT!! It wasn't until
The Gadgets 'Blue Album' (on Glass), from 1983, that things started to smell
bad.
How do I long for the good old days, before the French (ca. 1989) and later
on you Americans (ca. 1991) turned 4AD into a religion and 4AD artists into
gods....

In fact TPO in 1985 was the first Cocteau Twins thing to be released in
the US (on Relativity) as well as the first CD release anywhere. As far
as I can tell there had been basically zero word of the Cocteau Twins in
the US until then; they were pretty much unknown. After TPO there were
several reviews/articles in the US press (including a brief review in
People, if you can believe that...)

I agree; it does hold together really well. I especially like the
part when Pepper-Tree ends, there's that clock ticking, then a split
second of silence, then... BAM-O! Musette & Drums!! Awesome song.

And NEVER would CT be played on U.S. MTV. Sometimes it's really
distressing to see the general taste in america for really BAD music.

I was wondering if there was going to be a 3rd 10" with this other stuff.
I don't think the Future Bible Heros (Stephin Merritt of the Magnetic Fields)
track was on the first 2 10"s.

that's where I'm at right now. in their indie prerelease section, the
intergalactic garage lists Mojave 3-Ask Me Tomorrow CD for 22.49
or 24.95 after it is released. But this is not the interesting part. After
the vinyl listing, it says
"Frome (sic) the ashes of Slowdive. Sounding not unlike the
Breeders."
What the hell? Have you people been lying to me or what?

A few weeks ago, someone posted the setlist for one of RHP's
"Three Hour Tour" shows, which included the tunings. He asked if someone
would like to transcribe any of the songs based on the tunings. Well, I
wouldn't call this a transcription, but I did sit down last night and
figure out the chords for "Moments".
First off, the tuning given in the original post (GBEADF#, capo
II) appears to be a 3rd above what I found worked for the one on _Ocean
Beach_, that is, FADGCE, no capo. It's the same set of intervals, just a
3rd lower. It's also a lot easier to tune to, since it involves simply
raising the low E and B strings a half-step. Here are the chords:
Main sequence-
Dm9/G Am7 Fsus2maj7 G6sus4
F A D G C E F A D G C E F A D G C E F A D G C E
___________ ___________ ___________ ___________
0 5 0 0 0 0 X 0 2 0 0 0 0 3 3 0 0 0 2 3 0 0 0 0
Then, there's another sequence which appears, for instance, during the
line "I can't deny that I drift sometimes... "-
Am7/D Bb9/E
F A D G C E F A D G C E -> and then the same last two chords
___________ ___________ as the above four.
4 3 0 0 0 0 X 1 3 0 0 0
I also noticed that the tuning for "Brockwell Park", both I and II,
uses the same set of intervals, if not the same tuning, but I didn't try
to sit down and learn it note by note right then.
Enjoy!

People reviewed Sonic Youth's EVOL, which was about the same time,
so there must've been someone(s) with out-of-the-ordinary musical taste
working there at the time. When I saw the review of EVOL, standing in
line at the supermarket, I thought the world was ending.

When, in what show and how late will the Cocteau Twins play live on MTV?
The Amps... er... I love the artwork! When is the next Breeders cd being
released?
Scheer... at the end of the song 'Take You Anywhere' there's some silence
and then a "song" for one and a half minute... What's he talking about? Is
this Schism?
=46avorite CT album: Sunburst and Snowblind
Those nice people at 4AD Ltd. have reserved a copy of this This Rimy River
ltd. edition for me... but =A3160 (incl. p.p.)... it's a lot of money! I'm
not sure if I'm going to buy this piece of artwork, who can give me some
advice?
On the "Rare On Air Volume 2" cd Tanya Donelly sings a version of 'Sweet
Ride' and Vic Chesnutt is one of the other performing artists. Beautifull
sleeve designed by v23 by the way.
(non fourad) Does anyone have some information about Talk Talk? Do they
still make music or what... the last album (Laughing Stock) was released
almost five years ago... and I want more!
I've seen Bjork perform live yesterday. Great concert (a small band, a big
computer and a loud voice).
Only bad thing; she played in a big concert-hall (sport palace) and I had
rather see her in a small club...

true - I have two different videos taped from "120 min" from around '88 -
"Love's Easy Tears" I think, and "Crushed".
