So, miki and emma were on 120 min tonight plugging the new album - kinda strange
since it won't be released for several more weeks.  The video for ladykillers
turned out to be more interesting than that little quicktime clip led on -
I think it has "Buzz Clip" written all over it. Or at least MTV might air it mor

No, and I'm not sure the regular version is, either - it certainly
isn't in the 4AD catalogue.  It was originally intended as a "Pink
Opaque" style collection for foreigners who hadn't had the chance to buy
the EPs, so I think it was only ever intended to be a temporary release
in the UK.

The digipak was a limited edition, but when I bought my CD copy sometime
last year, Selectadisc in Nottingham were still selling the digipak
version (and at a knockdown price).  If there were still copies of the
"limited" version around three years after its release, it either wasn't
very limited or the album sold very badly.  Incidentally, some shops
here are still selling the limited "University" package.

120 Minutes was the first I've heard of the new stuff, namely Ladykillers,
from Lush.  Wow--I didn't know Miki could sing so LOW!  Actually she has
sung that low before, the songs are just mixed differently (I think).  And
the guitars--where are all the ringing, swirly guitars???

Oh well, change is a good thing, right?  I'm going to keep an open mind
about this and not judge anything until I've heard the new album in its
entirety. The lyrics no doubt are as brilliant and clever as ever!

This is the copy that I have--I believe that it is a deluxe or limted

picked this up on saturday in the first shop i went into in london. i had the
time stereo cassette anyway (which seems to be identical) but the packaging
is nice as is the random access capabilities of the cd. better still it has
titles and lyrics for all the songs which makes my life easier 8).

so, if anybody in britain wants a copy they can get one for L13.49 plus
postage from ufo music ltd, 18 hanway street, london and they do mail-order.
telephone number on receipt is given as 071 636 1281 which i haven't checked
(it's in nme every week). they also still have copies of the french spoonfed
hybrid single with the nice translucent sleeve.

I don't think they sound anything like RHP. I would put them in the category
of MBV only mellower with a hint of Spiritualized. They had 2 or 3 albums out
on Rough Trade in the late 80's. Then they disnbanded. The main dude in G500
Dean Wareham is now in Luna (not as good).
The bass player Naomi and the 3rd member (can't remember his name) had several
little projects together.

I have been actually trying real hard to get my hands on their stuff, very
hard to find since the demise of rough trade. Anyone know where these are
available?
I specially liked "On fire" (I think that's what is was called)
They had a great rendition of Joy Division's "Ceremony" and a great song
called "4th of july"

Well that was my 2 cents.

    I saw the Ladykillers video, and like someone said earlier, it

what about Single Girl, is that a UK only release just like

 Damn, us Americans always miss out! By the way, Where is the 4-ad

Anyone like Cibo Matto? "Know your Chicken" was a dopey video, they

Assuming this is the same thing, (4 tracks, orange/red
sleeve, no jewel case, piece of corn included)
I picked up a copy at Thirty Three Degrees here in Austin.
It is pure noise manipulation, like some Controlled Bleeding,
Merzbow, or any number of Japanese noise bands. I've
only listened to it once so far, so I can't say yet whether
there is anything to set it appart from the rest of the
noise community. If you really liked the Little Princess
tapes on Time Stereo, or the PDM track on the Arbitrary Nature
of Meaning comp, then you will probably like it.

Well, in this box you will find:

- one digipacked cd with no typography on the cover (only inside)

- one 'harminium-fold' set of eight postcards with drawings and photographs on t

- a six-pack of throwing muses beer

- a set of twentythree japanese kitchen knives (as seen on tv)

 I don't see how Galaxie 500 could be compared to MBV; christ,
they didn't even use any guitar effects except maybe a fuzzbox, did they?
To me they sound like nothing so much as the Velvet Underground's slower
pop songs (think "Pale Blue Eyes" or "Beginning To See the Light") only
with nasal off-key singing and mopey lyrics. Good VU-ish guitar solos
too. No flames, I did like them somewhat, but they're certainly no MBV.
I'd hate to see someone rush out to buy their albums expecting some kind
of blissed-out shoegazer swirlynoisefest. :)

They _are_ thislisty in that they opened for the Cocteau Twins on the
'90-'91 tour.

Subject: Re: old pixie/UFO stuff.


This may be old news to some of you, but I just came across something in
a newspaper that made me realise something about the Pixies tune "The
Happening"...

There's an area in Nevada that's owned by the US government. Evidently
its the site of their top secret air force base. And also the place where
UFO afficianados (sp?) / lunatics are convinced that the US gvt is
holding all their information of 'close encounters' as well as a ship
they captured back in the late 80s. (I suppose elvis is in there too).
Anyway, if you try to look the place up on a map, its just this massive
un-mapped un-surveyed chunck of the desert, labeled "area 51".


thus the Pixies lyric "they've got a ranch they call number 51".

anyway, sorry to waste band widthe if this is old news, but it was a
minor revelation to me.

This should surely be in the FAQ by now?  The limited "University" is a
digipak in a dark red slipcase (similar to the sort of thing
dictionaries sometimes come in), with a set of "postcards" (linked
perforated cards with pictures on one side and the lyrics on the
other).  The digipak is silver all over on the outside.  I believe
there's some additional artwork, though since the artwork isn't all
that good (in my subjective opinion), it doesn't matter very much.
