Actually, I believe that Jars of Clay is based in Nashville - at least
that's what they said on MTV (they played the video just before they
interviewed Lush and played "Ladykillers", the new release). They are a
"Christian" band, whatever that means. The most recent single is
produced by Adrian Belew. "Flood", the single, is a catchy song, but I
found the rest of the tracks on the CD to be quite boring,
unfortunately.

Actuall I just got my coppy of the Cannonball '93 bootleg which I must say
is absolutly amazing (Thank you Jonathan), perhaps last splash was not
their better album (but Pod is a tough act to follow) but their ep's are
good too from everything I've heard of them. I wouldn't say they suck
except for Pod, I'd just say that Last Splash is only very good, not pure

>Maybe he's spent, but Black Francis WAS Pixies.
I would have to disagree, true he wrote a lot of material for them, but he
could never have carried it with out Kim + Joey. Kim's backing and
occasional lead vocals is what helped keep the pixies albus out of basic
simple screaming noise (Frank Black snag with passion, but not melody) And
with out Joey's guitar work the pixies would be lost. Which raises an
intresting question, what would happen if Kim and Joey started touring
together? (aside from the planet self destructing from the pure bliss and
the world ending in aocoliptic sonic delight, but that's my bias)
Out of curiosity and too much other stuff to do I'm trying to compile a
nice biography of the pixies, if anyone has any interviews, funny stories,
pictures ect can they please mail them to me.

I think that the point was lost somewhere along the way. At least he

That puts it into an entirely different realm. If you think that Pod rocks

Oh nononononodyNO! I would dissagree! Tromp le monde has more than it's
share of brilliance, although I don't think Bossanova is their best album I
don't think it contains seeds of decline, I think they were simply
exploring a slightly altered approach to there music, I would instead say
the Pixies were one brilliant flash followed by a glorious (and
underapreciated) ride through sonic fields of screaminglove to rip off
another truly briliant 80's band with a bassist named Kim.

OK, this is only vaguely thislisty, so if you are a stickler for
4AD-PC-ness, then erase this message now.
The Softies, Emily's Sassy Lime, and Elliot Smith were to play the
UCSD Che cafe on Monday night, and it was a good show. Basically,
Kill Rock Stars night (two other non-KRS acts played but I was
unimpressed). I was really looking forward to hearing Orange
County's ESL, but they didn't seem to show. Never heard why.
Maybe they got lost.
Elliot Smith (of Portland's Heatmiser) has two solo albums out with
just him and his acoustic guitar. He definitely had that "I'm the
Gen X Neil Young" thing going. He mumbled too much between songs,
but his guitar playing was spot on. He even managed a Celtic sound
on several of the songs. I couldn't make out much of the lyrics,
but he seemed rather depressed about things in general.
The Softies (Rose Melberg, ex-Tiger Trap, and Jen Sbragia) were
pretty cool. Their voices go together really well and they played
a softer, quieter version of Rose's introspective, wounded-by-life,
pop sensibilities that she exhibited in the most-excellent Tiger
Trap. Lotsa songs about lost love, asshole guys, etc. Anybody
who digs cub, Heavenly, or PO! should dig the Softies. They played
a very loose set, taking requests from the small, attentive audience
and basically having a good time. If you get the chance to see
them, do.
BTW, does anybody know more about Jen Sbragia? Something about
the way she played, sang, and just stood there that just screamed
"Amelia Fletcher"! (of Heavenly fame). And since I adore AF, I'd
like to find out if Jen has other recordings. Anybody know?

I think I must be one of the few people who likes all of the Pixies stuff.
Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde still excite/interest me. I can
remember when there were reports of the Pixies going 'metal' for TLM but
I couldn't see the connection. My dubbed tape copy (and I have the vinyl
aswell) had Bomb the Bass's Megablast stuck on the end of it so the
previous 40 mins were always enjoyed.
It was only when Frank went solo did things go a bit ropey. Especially
when I heard he wrote the lyrics in a couple of hours before he recorded
them.
To get an idea of how the Pixies would have sounded post-Trompe Le Monde
there's a bootleg of demos called Rough Diamonds going around which has
them doing
Hang on to Your Ego (with a drum machine I think). Plus a few other tracks.

I have been meaning to post a review for almost two weeks now, and I just
plain give up. I will never again have that kind of time on my hands, and
if I do I will waste it, so...
Single Girl is not a good indicator of the new Lush stuff. Lovelife is
wonderful. It totally rocks and is a solid album. It manages to be a
little bit funny at times and totally serious at others because the funny
stuff is so bitter. There is an air of seriousness to it, and the result
is that the album doesn't come apart in the way that Split sometimes did.
Generally the songs are very pretty, either in the classic Lush sense or
in a bright poppy way, but more interestingly there is an open air
feeling to some of the album, a quality I have difficulty describing but
always know when it's there. A dry, epic, regretful feeling that now and
then shows its face in everything from Fields of the Nephilim to Renegade
Soundwave (specifically in Pocket Porn). And actually Lush hit that note
often on Scar and Mad Love. Here is it most prominent on Runaway. But the
real gem of the album is Last Night, my early nomination for best song of
1996 and as good a piece of work as Lush have come up with since Scar, if
ever. Everything I love about Desire Lines, Untogether, Monochrome, and
other essential elements in there as well. It is a classic. Single Girl
is indeed the least impressive song on the album, but as such it doesn't
bother me. It's better than anything else on those singles and in this
context is it a lot more fun.
That's about all the time I have. Sorry for the cursory ramble but
considering the venom I spat at Single Girl I thought it appropriate that
I announce the complete and unconditional redemption of Lush as soon as
possible. :)

I think this shows the valuable lesson that it's important for e to get
plenty of caffeine into his system before he starts writing reviews. A
few more grande espresso macchiatos and he'd have been raving
(positively) about the Projekt Xmas comp too, no doubt.
And check out those chocolate-mint madeleines they have (at least at my

So who's going to start flaming e for _liking_ Lush now? Flaming him for

What would ever make you think that _Pod_ wasn't a pop album? And
truly a FAR FAR better one than the half-baked _Last Splash_ (which

While _The Real Ramona_ and especially _Red Heaven_ can certainly be
lived without, I would say that _Hunkpapa_ is a good and important
album to place in your TM collection. In fact, my first exposure to
TM came from a tape fellow listmember Darryl Roy made for me, with
_House Tornado_ and _Hunkpapa_. I think I preferred the latter at
the time.

Date: Fri, 16 Feb 1996 09:52:14 +0000
The obvious thing to state here is that every band is a sum of its
members, whether or not those members actually get song-writing
credit. Look at TM, for example. Leslie Langston never wrote a
single song, but the sound of the band clearly changed after she
left, and never recovered from the loss of her melodic bass playing.
As for Kim Deal being some sort of goddess, I could easily make the
argument that Tanya Donelly is the true genius. After all, while
_Pod_ was a quite good album, and _Safari_ was an excellent EP (if
you discount "So Sad About Us", _Last Splash_ was an album whose
ideas, if they ever bothered to complete them, made no effort to go
somewhere interesting.
One could easily go on forever with this thread I suppose... (as
several listmembers have said it did on one of the newsgroups) so
I'll just shut up now.

And the rest of the album is not boring just more relaxed that "Flood". In

as long as we're feeling compelled to establish just whether or not jars

Nuh-uhh! Pop music in its most brilliant form is one of:
* early XTC (up through '82)
* They Might Be Giants
* The Maestro, Juan Garcia Esquivel
What maded Pod brilliant was that it was such a weird, messed-up take on
pop music; kind of an alternarock Shaggs. By the time of Last Splash Kim
had just learned too much about pop music and it came off as normal; and
the fact is she just isn't very good at writing pop songs, at least no
better than most of the currently-popular alternarock bands. I quite
frankly liked Veruca Salt's overplayed hit single better than anything on
"Last Splash". Ha, string me up for that one...
I've heard that most of the songs on Pod were written when Kim was in
high school. Is this actually true? If so, it would explain a lot.

Would anyone want to trade for the Lush '88 demos? The person I
traded got me the '89 demos. Which are still good but they aren't the
'88 demos.

>> Oh nononononodyNO! I would dissagree! Tromp le monde has more than it's
share of brilliance, although I don't think Bossanova is their best album I
don't think it contains seeds of decline, I think they were simply
exploring a slightly altered approach to there music, I would instead say
the Pixies were one brilliant flash followed by a glorious (and
underapreciated) ride through sonic fields of screaminglove to rip off
another truly briliant 80's band with a bassist named Kim. <<
Indeed... how can you not like Trompe? It simply rocks, and
that's good enough for me. The ensemble playing was tighter than it had ever
been, and the songs, one after another, are just great.
I don't like Bossanova nearly as much, partly the production,
which attempts to make it sound spacious, but just comes across as
metallic; and I'm not too fond of those warbling sounds that always seem
to pop up in that album.

i got my japanese spoonfed cd today (thanks masaya!). in recent days, i
haven't had much money, and i was starting to question plunking down $35 in
tapes and postage for two songs, but i'm glad i did. now i have the luxury
of having messers. hyde and bullets and bees on cd! (ok, so i bought the
vinyl for the free 7" ok? i'm pathetic.) not only that, but the japanese
version comes with a lyrics sheet (in english and japanese).
my mrs. dolphin came w/ what i'm assuming is a japanese lyrics sheet, can
anyone japanese (or who speaks the language) confirm this?
the record collector now has copies of esp continent. ordered mine today.
well, that's about it. i just wanted to gloat about finally having a copy
of the japanese spoonfed cd.
later,
BiZ

Hi
got this from another list.
As an in-between-the-way comment, Blue Nile have a new CD out on May 28th: no
title yet, but sports 10 tracks and is on the Warner Brothers label. There's an
article in today's paper Glasgow Herald, the electronic version may have the
text too (web address www.sims.co.uk)
back to the deleuzian CD release from sub rosa ...

The Pixies: They are by far one of my favorite bands of all time, but
there as been a lot of discussion as of late trying to decide who made the
band. I thing one of the things that made the pixies so great throughout
all of their albums (and yes some were not as good as others but that will
happen after you put out multipul albums) was the blending of their
individual chaos. I mean the fact is that they are a great band (right?)
and being a band there really is not supposed to be one shining star, in my
opinion bands = blend, and the pixies did that to perfection. I saw the
pixes open for U2 a few years back and let me tell you they kicked ass, and
they are much tighter in concert than I ever would have thought.

Let me step up and say that I love Xymox's _Phoenix_ album.
One misses some great music only listening to music that is to "be taken
seriously."
Personally, I'll take Xymox's "Phoenix of My Heart/Wild Thing Outro"
or TWP's "Mama Told Me Not To Come" or "Respect" over Dead Can Dance's
"I Am Stretched On Your Grave" any day. (No slur on Sinead in the least.)
Just a humble opinion,
David.

This is a very frequently asked question and as such is covered in the
FAQ for this list. Please read:
I hope people will take a peek at the FAQ before posting questions that
might already be answered therein. (And if there's something not covered
in the FAQ that is getting asked a lot, let me know.)
As an example of the above, there's been SO MUCH discussion of the "ESP
____" stuff that I would love to see a mini-FAQ on it that I could point
my FAQ at. Anyone want to do this? Please?

To this day and forevermore I will always
consider that the Pixies = Black Francis,
just as Throwing Muses = Kristin Hersh,
Belly = Tanya Donnelly, and until recently
Pale Saints = Ian Masters; ie. take away
the lead singer and it's not the same band.
After all, all Kim Deal did was play the
bass and sing a few songs. That's my opinion,
take it or leave it.
