It does have considerably more 4AD content, much of the time. You caught

Because it's really rude to walk into a gathering of people and
immediately start complaining that they're talking about the wrong
things. If you've been in the conversation for a while, seen how it
changes from week to week, and made yourself known as someone with
interesting opinions and ideas, then you have some respect in the group
and your urgings to change topics carry more weight. Please respect the
fact that there are many of us here who've been on the list, and taking
an active role, for up to four or five years, and we're pretty happy with
how it's going. (That doesn't make us better people, it just means we've
put a lot of time and effort into this list over the years...)
  And as always in any Net discussion, if you think topic X isn't getting
enough discussion, then go ahead and talk about it yourself. Complaining
that people aren't talking about it enough is lame. This is not network
television, we're building this ourselves and you're a part now, so pitch in.

I can recommend them also.  They opened for The Wolfgang Press a
short time back.  Almost as good as TWP.  Worth the 7$, or so just
by themselves.  Real nice people, too.  Wound up buying their T-shirt
and getting it autographed.  They're from Lancaster, PA, BTW.

Another token Bark Psychosis post! Which EPs make up Independency? Is it

(All Different Things & Nothing Feels) on anoither small UK indie called
Cheree. I'd hate to have missed something.

I agree that 'u-ziq vs. the auteurs' sounds nothing like the auteurs, but i
also admit to knowing nothing about the auteurs nor wanting to. i think he just
sampled them, but it's an amazing album, which i would probably file somewhere
near disco inferno for his ability to take samples and construct songs out of
them. not as 'weird' i guess, in terms of samples. no camera shutters or
schoolchildren. closer to "ambient" but not background music. other, probably
better, reference points might be insides' clearskin, laika or especially
beaumont hannant. i find it really difficult to make comparisons in electronic
music, where an entire song can be dependent on a sample or particular sound.
there can be no reference points, the same way there are in rock where a
guitar (unless you're seefeel) almost always sounds like a guitar.

but since i brought up beaumont hannant, i want to reinforce the point that he
is amazing. the only album i've heard is 'sculptured' which features lida
husik on a few tracks, and is probably the best stuff she's been involved with
since 'your bag'. and for all my blather about a lack of reference points,
there are comparisons to be made between u-ziq and beaumont hannant, at least
on these particular albums. they both use similar shuffly beats that remind me
a teeny bit of the magnetic fields, and both structure their bleeps and whirrs
into songs, or at least come closer than most.

does anyone have a beaumont hannant discography? please email as the natives
are getting restless.

Once again I come to you, the list, for help on a project I am working on
for SEX FM to be broadcast this Thursday.  I am gathering first kiss
stories and I need some samples of the word "kiss" to put in between the
voices.  Of course, now that I am in need of these I am drawing blanks
(aside from the obvious Prince/Tom Jones).  Can you think of any song
that clearly has "kiss" in the lyric?  As much information as possible
please.

I agree with Kelli, let's talk about music (for a change!)

I want to know if I am the only freak out there that absolutely loved
Slowdive's Pygmalion, and now also loves Mojave 3 'Ask me...'  The styles
of the two albums are very different, but something very lovely is
happening on both. I was a bit skeptical when I heard about their change of
direction, and I thought I would NOT like Mojave, but....damn it's so good.
I'm gald I plunked down the extra import cash for both of these.

However when the list server started sending me the mail it didn't specify
my server, i.e.alf2, but just ignored it.
The result of this was that all mail was sent to my other (VAX) account by
way of default.Problem is I can hardley use my VAX account much less
operate it's mail server so I haven't been able to unsubscribe and now have
some 500 mailings in my mail buffer.
Basically what I want to know is is there a way to change my address to specify
my server (I don't have privledge to change my address proper).
Alternatively how do I unsubscribe to the list.

Actually I think Scheer are potentially quite good if they just dump
their guitarist.  They were featured in the Independent on Sunday this
week - two page article on bands struggling round the London gig circuit
playing to audiences in single figures, and Scheer were honoured with a
few hundred words and a photo.  Not much about the music (4AD were
mentioned, though) - it was more about how they are having to start
again from scratch on this side of the Irish sea.

And w.r.t. the Amps, "Bragging Party" is as good as anything Kim Deal
has ever done - I feel passionately about that song, even if the rest of
the album is patchy.

Are you confusing me with Michael? He's the one who called Ryan an idiot
over the darkwave thing and told him to go look at some Projekt CDs. All
I said was that he was being mean. I even gave him the benefit of the

I don't know anyone on this list who behaves like what you are saying.
Everyone involved with this argument has made their share of honest and
kind attempts at turning others onto the music that they like.

In all fairness to Michael, Ryan had no business putting on his
"Darkwave? What do you mean?" face and it makes sense that Michael was
confused. Also, Ryan was after all in the process of flaming me for a
shot I took in PARODY at someone who made a serious and uncalled for
insult towards mesocyclone. Maybe I am wrong and I don't want to sound
like I'm writing anyone off because I'm not, but it seems to me that a
lot of people are entering into arguments halfway through without knowing
their history, and that still more people, yourself included, aren't
checking to see who wrote what before taking issue with what's said.

Here it is me who who have either misunderstood or misrepresented. I said
CLEAN not CLEANSED. I have no desire to see anyone leave this group. What
I meant by clean was in the sense of netpolicing--the way cz and kj for

attack someone's position or attitude when that person is out of line.

There isn't enough hatred on the net for people who step into arguments
in which they are NOT involved, and further, about which they actually
have NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER, and tell everyone to shut up.

I think there is a bigger problem with assuming ignorance from anyone

  I've been on the list for 3-4 years.  If I only wanted to know about
4AD artists, I would have quit long ago.  But there is so much quality
music that I know nothing about.  I keep a running list of music I want
to hear and every name on that list has come from someone's post on
this newsgroup.

  To all the new people bithin' about Einexile...I have never, never
deleted any of his posts without first reading them.  He is
entertaining, a pleasure to read and knows what he's talking about.
He is just one of many assorted personalities on this list that I look
forward to hearing from.

   This list is not mine, yours or Einexile's, but I have been here
long enough to know what to expect...and for the most part, I like it
the way it is.

Once again I come to you, the list, for help on a project I am working on
for SEX FM to be broadcast this Thursday.  I am gathering first kiss
stories and I need some samples of the word "kiss" to put in between the
voices.  Of course, now that I am in need of these I am drawing blanks
(aside from the obvious Prince/Tom Jones).  Can you think of any song
that clearly has "kiss" in the lyric?  As much information as possible
please.

Thanks once again.

i honestly don't care who you or anyone else on the list
hates or likes.  hate whoever you like.  i'm not going to

i _do_ care that this list, which has been
a source of much valuable information in the years i have

petty feuding and childish insults.  is this what the
"electronic revolution" has brought us -- the freedom and
anonymity to be utterly obnoxious?

i wouldn't be surprised to find out that both new and old
subscribers -- people who could contribute to useful and
informative discussions here -- are abandoning this list.
i find that unfortunate.

i know this morass certainly won't end with this note --
someone (or, more likely, a whole mess of someones) is
going to have to have the last word.  i just hope the last
word comes soon and we can get back to substantive
discussions about music.

You poor child. Why don't you have a suck on my little cock? It doesn't

a discussion about how no one knows exactly who the fuck is on Caroline.
Maybe Mark K is on Caroline? Maybe Mark K has joined the Legendary Pink
Dots? (Someone sure as hell needs to.) Better run out and check right
away! You might miss out on the hard rock version of "Summer Dress".

These are the kind of ridiculous, petty complaints, the kind of
loudmouthed whining that are, come to think of it, really starting to
make this list look like a big joke. I apologize on behalf of everyone on
this list to all who are embarrassed by it.

Let's hear some music. I have out of laziness broken with my normal
tradition of posting relevant information about music in these lovely
flame pieces, so I'd better get back on that...

Chris Meloche - Recurring Dreams of the Urban Myth
--------------------------------------------------
A new favorite Fax release which is somewhat unique in its lack of
annoyances. It is quite consistent through and through, uninterrupted by
long blobs of tweak noise or telephone calls, samples of city streets
with no music laid over it, beat poetry...there seems to have been quite
a lot of this stuff from Fax over the last few weeks or months. I don't
know how old this record it; I still have no idea how to decipher Fax's
release numbering system, but it is relatively new and very refreshing
especially after suffering through Chris Meloche's "Wireless" which is
nothing but radio noise for 70 minutes. Here though is one of many
reasons Fax is probably my favorite record label. The album goes on and
on, never developing into much intensity but neither seeming to repeat
itself. Great music to sleep to--actually quite scary but then I am one
who likes dozing to Lustmord and Seefeel. What you have here is something
that repeats over such long spans of time that one doesn't notice, or by
the time one does, it begins to vary. Meanwhile you have a whole lot of
nice ambience which changes over time. In the end what does the trick is
the very nice, pretty music that makes up the drones and whines--
definitely more on the side of Eno's Neroli or Ambient 4 than on the side
of much of any ambient discussed on this list, but you know, some of you
people could really use some Neroli, the way things are going. :)

In other news, while I am somewhat a fan of mu-ziq, I find mu-ziq vs the
Auteurs to be rather annoying and derivative. Admittedly some of this is
just that it is too harsh for me but I do think it is honestly a little
obnoxious. After saying this much, maybe I will sound craxy recommending
Salsa & Mesquite and Jake Slazenger Makes a Racket, but they are super
good albums, very weird and hip and varied. Good mu-ziq is like a really
badass episode of Fat Albert or something.

When making your purchases, please take into account that the reviewer
can just barely stand Beaumont Hannant..though his work with CAROLINE
RECORDING ARTIST Lida Husik is pretty dope.

Up and coming, reviews of the new Current 93 ep, Michael Gira's ass
kicking _Drainland_, an old Depeche Mode album I like, and more Fax...
plus with any luck today brings me about a cubic foot of new Warp
stuff...

I think you're rising to the bait a little too easily. This is what, the
fifth person you've carpet-flamed in the last four days? Just ignore 'em,

You're kidding?  There's bazillions of songs with kiss in the lyrics.

"where'd you learn to kiss that way"
                        the Field Mice "So Said Kay"
                        off Sarah compilation "Glass Arcade"

"a kiss and ran away"
                        the Orchids "Carol Anne"
                        off Epicurean, a soundtrack

"your kiss is on my list of the best things in life"
                        Hall and Oates

"let's kiss and make up, let's you and I kiss and make up"
                        St. Etienne "Kiss and Makeup" (a Field Mice song)
                        off debut "Fox Base Alpha"

"namida no kiss mo ichido"
                        Southern All Stars "Namida no Kiss"

"she had kisses sweeter than wine"
                        some 50's idol singer (Bobby Darin?)

"now I know that the perfect kiss is the kiss of death"
                        New Order "Perfect Kiss" or "Kiss of Death"
                        off "Technique"

"kiss him on the cheek and tell him where to go"
                        Heavenly "C is the Heavenly Option"
                        off "Le Heavenly De Jardin"

A large portion of the Legendary Pink Dots catalog is

BTW, if anyone has a chance to catch the Dots live on the

Subject: Yet another 4-ad sampler!


Had quite an interesting weekend.  It seems that rockway records got a ton of
used 7" singles recently & I just had to go through ALL of them!  I was quite
surprised to find a new 4-ad sampler.  I had seen it once before, but I
didn't know what it was.  It was at the Tarnation in-store at no life few
months ago.  I saw a few people at the counter opening a box of 7" singles
from across the room.  Well, being the chicken little that I am, I didn't
investigate further and didn't think any more of it.  Oh well, I should have
know.  Anyway, here's all the details on it:

It's called "Yeah, but... : a selection of 4ad artists; fall 1995" catalog #
pro-s-7630


not sure if these are exclusive to this 7" or not. and I have no idea on its
availability (but I got it, so there should be some out
there.......somewhere)

the layout is quite similar to the joe friday 7" as well as the last few CD
samplers as well.  Its got a green-ish cover with a blue-ish
what-the-hell-is-that in the center.  The back cover is black with a darker
blue what-the-hell-is-that and the good ol' grid layout.

as for what it sounds like, I dunno, I haven't been able to hear it yet.  I
spent too much time listening to madredeus. I haven't been moved this way by
a recording since mojave, but prior to that, I really can't remember.  Two
classical guitars with an angelic voice singing in Portuguese.  The effect is
kinda like Segovia playing with DCD.  Simply beautiful.

also of 4ad interest:  rockway still has the joe friday 7", the insides /
glee club promo 7" as well as that pale saints / brass band 7"  (I picked up
the lush "rupert the bear" flexi & an old In Camera 7" amongst others) They
also have tons of Sarah & Slumberland singles as well as a few of those
slowdive/ride split tour singles.  It's all in unsorted bins in the back
counter and they're going for $5ea (or 10 for $40)  If you've got time to
kill, it's worth a look.

later,
Rodney, who is still quite surprised that no-one had mentioned this before.

Tooled Up

Scum                   ["Scum" EP]

The CD booklet does explain where the tracks come from, but the box is at
home so I can't refer to it right now.

The first three tracks are rather laid-back and almost folky, "By Blow"
is quite noisy, the "Manman" EP tracks vary between near-techno and the
sound of "Hex", and "Scum" sounds much like "Hex" (and is about 20
minutes long!)

I think the flamage was more because the answers to those questions had
been posted just a day or two before.

In general, a better thing to do when you get pissed off about recurring
questions is to write up an answer and mail it to me for inclusion in the
FAQ. Or even if you don't think you're the right authority to answer,
just tell me what the question should be and I'll answer it or find
someone else to.

That's what the FAQ is for, after all. (And apologies for not having kept
it up to date in the last few months. I've got a little baby boy who
takes up most of my time when I'm at home...)

Kennedy is just plain evil.  I don't understand her, I don't know
what she's all about, and I honestly don't care. I hate Kennedy.

As for the 120 Minutes guys:

Dave Kendall:  Clearly the best VJ MTV ever placed in that job. He
               was much more cutting-edge and much more knowledgeable
               about music outside the realm of PearlJamNirvanaHole
               SoundgardenFlamingLipsRedHot  ChiliPeppers and all the
               rest of that mainstream boring uneventful alternacrap.
               His interviews often had actual content and thought
               put into them. I've been told that he was fired or
               quit because he wasn't willing to toe the chart-oriented
               line that MTV wanted to enforce or he wanted more control
               over the show's content and input and was denied.

Lewis Largent:  HELLO?!  What were they thinking?  So he is marginally
                attractive in a grunge sort of way and so went well
                with that "SPIN Magazine's Alternaband of the month"
                motif that MTV strives for, but he was an IDIOT! Nice
                guy, but a DORK!  I mean, he was doing the heavy metal
                show prior to moving to 120...whatever.  Did anyone
                else applaud when Robin Guthrie basically made Mr. Largent
                look like a total fool in his interview/guest appearance
                in 1993?  I still wince when I see that.

This Penfield Fellow:  Uncle Fester....but he's a very sincere guy, I must
                       give him credit where credit is due, AND he knows
                       a lot about music.  The thing about him that
                       bothers me is that he tries too hard to be your
                       friend (and the musician's good buddy) rather than
                       a telejournalist/host, which is his job.  He's just
                       too patronizing.  I don't know if I could handle it
                       being one of his guests....But his sincere enthusiasm
                       and knowledge make him at least better than Kennedy,
                       who just annoys every cell in my body.


MTV is the biggest example of the herd mentality in popular and so-called
alternative music.  The perfect companion to Rolling Stone and Spin.  I
thirst for a real outlet for music video and journalism that honestly
makes an effort to be sincere and groundbreaking in its content and
programming, as well as diverse.  I don't mind seeing a HOLE video or
a video by some stupid band called "Ruth Ruth" or "Toadies", as long as
its mixed in with stuff that is NOTHING like that, by bands that have
had a much farther-reaching effect and influence on independent and
'alternative' music.   I guess I can keep dreaming...

To MTV's credit:  Aeon Flux and the occasionally outstanding Unplugged
                  or Rockumentary.


Sorry I've run on like this...I guess I sort of found a tangent, there...

but I think they are pretty darn mediocre.  Especially in comparison to

Cocteau Twins - Otherness
-------------------------
And I don't agree with anyone about it. Since it is indeed a mark
Clifford treatment it obviously has a certain flavor to it, but to me,
the disc is chock full of Cocteau Twins. Not a lot of "hip ambient guy vs
washed up indie band" releases are terribly sympathetic to the original
vision of the band in question, and to be fair I haven't heard the
original vision of most of this material, but Mark Clifford seems to have
done something very cool here, which I am tempted to compare best to The
The's recent Hanky Panky album of hank Williams covers, which is that
while tweaking the hell out of the record he has left it intact and
created a reworking that is very faithful to what the band is about.
Listening to this record, I can tell that he loves the Cocteaus, loves
these songs, and with much care went about bringing out what struck him
as particularly nice. And if I'm right, that's why this disc is more
Cocteaux than it is Seefeel. Clifford has not injected this into the dark
and mysterious world of Seefeel but injected little of himself to what
was already there. It's an interesting look at him and at what Disjectia
 might bring out in him. It's also a full blown
and rather good Cocteau Twins ep in its own right.

Subject: Non-4AD: Love your enemies


With the recent "debate" on various topics such as aol, seefel, cocteau twins
et.al, I thought I'd share W S Burroughs immortal words on loving your enemies
with you. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make out a couple of words, but
they're not essential to the text anyway. (If anyone knows them, do tell me)
The text is "Love Your Enemies" from the "Dead City Radio" CD (Island records,
442-846 264-2) and goes like this:

Love your enemy. It isn't easy to love an enemy. Because this goes, it
goes against your basic survival instinct. But it can be done, and
turned to an advantage. Let the love squirt out of you like a firehose
(...) Give him the kiss of life. Stick your tongue down his throat and
taste what he's been eating and bless his digestion. Ooze down into
his intestines and help him along with his poo. Let him know that you
revere his rectum as a part of an ineffible whole. Let him understand
that you stand in (...) of his genitals as part of the master
plan. Life in all its rich variety, do not falter. Let your love enter
in onto him and penetrate him with a divine lubricant. Makes KY like
sandpaper. It's the most (...) slimiest, ooziest lubricant there ever
was or shall be amen.

So, think twice before you flame anyone ;-)

Love,

Subject: Review: QuickSpace Supersport


Rather than comment eruditely on the many flame wars going on, I'll waste
all of your time with a review -- and of non-4AD stuff at that. Just
delete this now and read the next flame.


QuickSpace Supersport  "SuperPlus" EP  Domino (UK)

This is Tom(?) Cullinan's new band, he formerly the
guitarist/co-songwriter/co-singer of th late and very lamented Faith
Healers. I was glad to hear of new stuff by him and so ordered this EP
from Ear/Rational sight unseen. Let's get the facile comparisons over
with first: Cullinan's clearly been spending his spare time listening to
a lot of Stereolab, and it shows. Which isn't too great a stretch for
him, since Th Faith Healers were also pretty big on repetitive
mantra-like guitar riffs. What's new here is the more low-key
non-effected guitar sound, the waves of bleepy Moog (much more of it than
Stereolab use), and the happy "ba-la-ba" female backing vocals (which it
must be acknowleged that Stereolab nicked from the mighty Juan Garcia
Esquivel, who had mastered the technique back in the early '60s.)
  Facile comparisons aside, this is a nice little EP. You get four
versions of the same song, which despite the comparisons above does still
have its own unmistakable Cullinan imprint on it. It's a nice song, but
the title track, goes on for 14 minutes and does start to wear out its
welcome by the end. Track 2, "Proplus", is a tweaked-out alternate
version with weirder Moog noises, different riffing, and different drum
sounds, which goes on for a breezy 2 1/2 minutes. Track 3, "Scubaplus" is
a dub mix and is for me the highlight of the EP. Underwater synth sounds,
dubstyle bass, echoed drum track. Reminds me very much of the early-80s
dub-inspired new wave sound. Track 4, "Standard 8" is a short-n-snappy
radio-friendly reprise of the basic song with some more female vocals and
extra guitar, all of which starts to remind me of Unrest.
  All in all, cool stuff! It's nice to see at least part of Th Faith
Healers reappearing in a new guise (what's Roxanne up to?? Her singing is
missed.) I hope they have a full album in the works, as listening to one
song gets old after a while.

A couple people have mentioned this supposed bad attitude of the list and
I'm not sure what they're referring to. The only recent case I can think
of where someone was flamed for not knowing something was where, right
after a several-day thread about Macbeth and Seefeel where much relevant
information was exchanged -- and I'm talking the next day -- someone asks
"What are Seefeel like" and "Do Macbeth have an album". Questions that
had been answered like the day before. It's that kind of thing that gets
on one's nerves. Although I guess one could be very charitable and assume
the person had subscribed that very day and coincidentally asked about
those very same topics.

Other than that I haven't seen any signs of "elitist" attitude here,
unless you count those who randomly flame AOL'ers, but that has nothing
to do with musical knowlege.

In general this list has been much like what you describe those relaxed
and tolerant 4AD fans as being like; but very recently there's been a
sharp upturn in the number of flames. I think we may have passed some
critical mass of idiots subscribed that causes the whole s/n ratio to
collapse (and e isn't helping by fanning along all the flames in his
postmodern ironic gen-x way...)

ok, so maybe the guy isn't half-bad...

4AD related:

I recently traded a guy a Van Morrison CD for a compilation tape called
"DREAMS AND DESIRES" (-circa 1984?)  black & white credits sleeve, along with
@ 6 postcards (also b/w) of various artists on the compilation tape including
Cocteau Twins, Wolfgang Press, Colourbox, Andrew Gray, Dead Can Dance, and
X-mal Deutschland.  All the tracks are demo's, instrumentals and the such.
I found it listed on the Eyesore Database, but have heard of it elsewhere and
I was just trying to get an idea on how rare this particular oddity is and
how much it may be worth.
Any idears?
