Why do we always look to others to save what is dear to us. Form your own
damn band, get them signed to 4ad, and save the label yourself!!!!! That's
what I'm working on now, the band is the kumQuats and we'll officialy form
for the first time on holloween, by next holloween we'll be ready to save
4ad, or if they won't take us, we'll make our own label, it dosen't matter,
salvation lies in your self, not mortal coil, not the Cocteau twins, not
anyone, quit bitching about the lack of originallity and make something new
yourself!

Anyone who indiscriminately bashes Projekt is a moron. Frankly, I find
virtually all the music they're releasing to be more interesting than the
twopenny garage-band junk on 4AD these days. They're far more consistent
in the quality of what they're releasing than Cleopatra and Bedazzled,
too, IMO, though Bedazzled in quite good. And Projekt is much more than
goth. The Darkwave catalog is something I genuinely look forward to in my
mailbox.

Sorry, but for me the only good thing to come out of 4AD at the moment is
the artwork. There seems to be more time gone into this than the music.

Hello, everyone whom I don't know. I'm Rob, and I'm sort of
a list virgin, so I
have decided to just take it all into my hands and write
something.
I'm pretty much signed on here because of Lisa Germano, so
if anyone has cool things to say about her, you should say them.
For those other Lisaheads out there, I have some items that are some
what hard to get hold of, the first of which being her first album,
"All the way down from the moon palace" which was only released on
Major Bill records, and is now no longer made. I realize that this
is not too impressive, so I suppose I should mention (in an effort
to make myself more important, or something) that I managed to find
purely by accident, the Inconsiderate Bitch EP, which is very cool
and almost better than Happiness. Tapes sent to me would be sent back,
with music on them, one hopes. So write me, and I'll send you my
address.
Wee-ha. Lisafreaks rule. Or something.
Watch your back.

1. Adopt a new marketing strategy whereby the it sells itself as a country
and western / three chord punk label.
2. Immiediately increase fan base 7000 percent (sudden rush of hillbillies
and reborn 45 year old punks)
3. As soon as they are successful in this sphere, go against the grain and
release interesting / experimental bands (as was done with HNIA, Dif Juz).
4. Piss these new followers off, but keep the original 4AD crowd as happy as
pigs in shit.

Is this supposed to support your argument? If you haven't noticed,
the Cocteau Twins aren't on 4AD anymore. This statement indicates a lack

Okay, this really doesn't have anything to do with Mojave, sorry, but
k-j had mentioned polvo. And I'm way curious, bc awhile ago I heard they
were a good noise band along the lines of mbv. I haven't heard much
about them here or on dreampop, so I'm assuming they arent' that close.
Does anyone know nything about them? Give me a good description of their
sound? Will I like them if I like mbv, medicine, lovesliescrushing,
etc? Thanks in advance.

Golly, I just know we have to hook up some time, Kayleigh! This weekend
artistic urges got the best of me. My friend Dan and I had an extremely
good weekend photographing in Chicago last weekend, and we decided to
take a trip up to the Iron Range on the spur of the moment Friday to
take advantage of our still hyper creative urges. We spent the weekend up

Actually, from what I understood, projekt always hypes themselves as a

which is a damn good goth band, if you ask me.

What I'd do if I ran 4AD:
1. Fire everyone except J. 'ivo' Beswick at the US office.
2. Reinstate Guernica-- they haven't released anything in at least a year.
3. Dump most of the current lineup except HNIA, Muses, and DCD,
and possibly Mojave3, Air Miami, and Lisa Germano.
4. Bring back Nigel Grierson (that was a good one!)
5. Not let anyone at WB or on the 4AD staff tell me what I
can and can't release.
6. Release ESP Summer.
7. Bring back Spoonfed Hybrid as a fully supported 4AD band.
8. Try to get Dif Juz back together (supposedly they want to).
9. Have a better relationship with fanzines and fans.
10. Sign / license the following bands: Elysium, the ex-Disco Inferno guy,
Virginia Astley, Daniel Figgis, Alison's Halo, Luminous Orange,
Super 31, Six String Malfunction, etc.

what? i got a msg saying that i was not subscribed to the list.
gee wiz, then how come i am getting all these posts? i tried reviewing my
subscription, but there's no record of moi there. :( i want to
unsub then sub again, and hopefully it will fix the problem.
i remember that someone tried to unsub once before but somehow he was not on
the list! whatever happened to that person, and if someone helped
him to unsub, please, help me.
thank u for the help. i also advise all those who have not checked their
status in the list yet to check it out as soon as possible. perhaps

It's true, you can now walk into your neighborhood Body Shop store and
walk out with the 4AD "...think I'm getting the hang of it" promo CD
free. You don't even have to buy any pretentious personal cleansing
products. The CD doesn't exactly leap out at you, though -- they had a
big display for a CD that fights violence against women (don't ask me
how) but for the 4AD promo I had to quiz the gothchick behind the counter
and wiggle my eyebrows a bit. "Oh yeah, that other CD", she said,
reaching under the counter for it...
The cover's brilliant. Another prime entry in the "what the HELL is that
thing?" school of v23 cover art. My guess: an orange, covered with used
tea leaves, under weird lighting.
The contents? Knowing full well that this forever destroys my 4AD-L rep
that I've painstakingly spent four years building up, I must in all
honesty say that for me the Scheer track is the standout. Surrounded
though it is with track after track of DESPERATELY DULL FOLK ROCK SHIT
(and painfully I must include the work of usually-genius Jenny Toomey in
this generalization) it nonetheless manages to KICK OUT THE JAMS,
MOTHERFUCKERS. I've heard more original music, even more original
hard-rock-guitar music, but it got my blood moving. Jesus, after that
Heidi Berry track I was reaching for the defibrillators as I slumped
inexorably deeper into my easy chair, and I needed something, anything,
to restore my faith in pop music.
The Wolfgang Press remix rocks too, by the way, even if it pushes that
great Kraftwerk-y synth line into the background. But it's got some great
squidgy noises going on near the end.
Tarnation are nice as far as country goes, and Paula's got a nice voice,
but it's still country. Kendra Smith has done much better on the "Guild
Of Temporal Adventurers" CD; the track here is just DDFRS. Mojave^3's
secret unlisted track is, again, nice as far as country goes, but it's no
"Rutti" or "Miranda" or even "Alison".
So is 4AD dead? Not quite, maybe. Let's play track 5 again...

At least I'm not the only one who thinks so. I picked up the sampler a few
days ago dreading the Scheer track after everything I'd heard about it, but
it's one of my favorites on the album. Sure, it's not DCD, but no one
claimed it was. The Sex Pistols are hardly intricate music, but that's not
what punk is all about. Same thing here. It's not nearly as difficult as
HNIA, but it's good, loud music. I guess you either like the style or you
don't. Of course, this is coming from one of three people in the universe
who will actually admit to liking Veruca Salt...

> Projekt, is NOT a goth label.
Yes they are. Contrary to what seems to be a common opinion amonst
people on this list, not all goths are mopey, "I only listen to
the Cure and the Sisters" types. We are actually a varied lot.
If you think that Lovesliescrushing,
Love Spirals Downwards, Eden, Soul Whirling Somewhere, O Yuki Conjugate,
Thanatos, and Steve Roach (who all have releases on Projekt) are goth
Actually I would call several of these artists goth.

No don't. Cleopatra are frequently just dead wrong.

I'll reply to the list since this question comes up somewhat often...
What's probably going on is that the address you're subscribed under
doesn't exactly match your return address when you try to unsubscribe.
This can easily happen due to mail forwarding. (For instance, I can be
reached at [email protected] or [email protected] since INow handles the
mapping to my custom domain name.)
Step 1: Send a message to [email protected] with "scan 4AD-L name" in
the body, where "name" is some portion of your name or e-mail address.
The listserv will send back a list of all subscribers whose
names/addresses contain that string. You should be there, and this will
show you the address you're subscribed at.
Step 2: If you have enough control over your mail program, change your
return address to the address you're subscribed with. (In Eudora or
Claris Emailer for the Mac, for instance, the settings dialog has a
Return Address field.)
Step 3: Send a "signoff 4AD-L" command to the listserv.
Step 4: Change your return address back, if necessary.
If your mail setup is not under your control, Step 2 won't work. If you
have a mail administrator who handles your Internet mail, ask her/him if
s/he can send the message for you. You need the node administrator (your
sysop) to use the single line command (as above)
for username signoff 4AD-L
This type of command must be sent from user@node, where user is maint,
postmast, or postmaster. [This paragraph cribbed from Dr Bruce Scott,
cribbed from the FAQ.]
If all else fails, the list admin is Jim Jones,

The point is that it WAS ahead of it's time... now it's mainstream, but
back in 1991 when folksy-ish-type of albums like HB's 'Love' and half of
TMC's 'Blood' were released... it wasn't.

Medicine suck anyway. The most interesting thing about when I saw them
live was the cartoon loops they used. And the only song I ever really
liked by them was remixed by Robin Guthrie and featured Liz Fraser on
vocals. Garbage could wipe up the floor with Medicine's sorry asses
anyday.
By the way... I was trying to prove to my friend how Robin Guthrie is, in
my opinion, more important to the modern rock scene than Perry Farrel.
Any opinions??

I would term Thanatos, Eden, Love Spirals Downward, and most of the
people on Projekt goth bands, except for Steve Roach, but then he really
isn't on Projekt, he's on something called Celestial, isn't he? And
Projekt does refer to themselves as the best place to find gothic-ambient
music (as pulled str8 outta their info). I thought Cleopatra records
was industrial/dance/goth, kinda like the Sisters. We have a separate
little section for that lable in our dance/techno section at Tower (for
all that means....).

It's still in the process of being set up...I ran into a problem setting
up Majordomo and I haven't had time to fix it due to midterms. As soon
as that's done we'll be all set. Give me another week or two.

>What I'd do if I ran 4AD:
4. Bring back Nigel Grierson (that was a good one!)
Grierson was a great photographer and filmmaker...BUT! When I visited
Vaughan Oliver's
studio v23 (and I am not bsing on that, ask him yourself), Chris Bigg
mentioned that Vaughan
and Nigel had had a falling out after they folded 23 envelope. So I'm not
sure how soon that
will come into being. I like Kevin Westenberg's work though, as well as
Larbelestier so...
but a couple of dark videos and especially a few more by the Brothers Quay
would really
be a welcome addition.
8. Try to get Dif Juz back together (supposedly they want to).
This would be a good one as well as Xmal Deutschland, I would like to see
where they have gone
since releasing Tocsin.
