I have seen a CD off this, but the last time was like 6 years ago. So yes,
it does exist, but I am not sure how available it is.

It is Sat. morning and I figure I would go buy a ticket for the lush gig.
Well it just so happens Tori AMos was selling tickets at the same time.
SO I got all mixed up with a bunch of her fans in line and by the time I
got to the front, the lush gig was sold out. So I am wondering if some
kind person wants to sell me an extra ticket they may have. Shoot I got
to the front of the line about 10 minutes after the tickets went on sale.
Maybe a bunch of big wigs horded them all before hand and not many were
sold anyway. In any case, please let me know if you want to unload an
extra one. thanks

I doubt they sat around thinking, "Let's make the worst possible record we
can". I bet they thought the material was really excellent and there was
just no one around to tell them otherwise.

Well, the pop-art gun thing sucks (obviously), and that's a dubious shade of
orange, so the lettering is the least crappy thing about it. But it's still
a lame 60's typeface.

Haveto disagree. I give 'Sweet F.A.' an A-. The minus only because at
times (tracks 3-6) it sounds a bit like old JAMC, which isnt bad unless you
arent JAMC. Those afforementioned JAMCesque songs are mostly penned by
Daniel Ash. The string of David J. songs toward the end (especially Here
Come The Comedown and Spiked) are very nice indeed, have a darker, more
dissonant feel more like 'the game' from 7th dream and 'mirror people' or
'the light' from Earth Sun Moon.

Speaking of the Land of 10,000 Lakes, last night some friends and I were graciou
ly treated to
a truly wonderful set by Minneapolis' finest, The Legendary Jim Ruiz Group, who
harmed the
whole dozen or so of us with their trademark nuevo-lounge sound (with requisite
vaudeville and ska references). Most of their set consisted of tunes from their
album 'Oh
Brother Where Art Thou?,' although there was one truly groovy new song by the na
e of
"Bigfoot" and a coupla covers (one by the Monochrome Set, and the other original
y done by the
sublime Francoise Hardy).
I believe they'll be playing Austin this evening with ex-Virgin Prune-guy Gavin
riday. I
strongly recommend any Austin listies (and anyone residing in the path of this t
ur) to go see
Jim and the band.

Not as good as 'Amber' their first LP. You want to know what it sounds like? Um
- difficult. Kind of minimalist techno, some sub-bass, a little stark, and none
too user-friendly. But good, and worth spending time getting acquainted with.
Think early LFO, Aphex Twin, Black Dog, Orbital - that kind of area. Probably no
clearer are you? Oh well

There are two CDs of Pump Up The Volume. The first was issued at the time of
release and came in a standard single jewel box. The second came out in digipack
a couple of years ago, and features all the mixes (I think). Does anyone know
whether it is just the packaging that is different?

This past weekend, I came across a copy of this Unrest album (teenbeat 14).
It appears to be made in Belgium and had a Xeroxed insert. The cover was a
picture of them playing live. Before I plop down my $30, I'd kinda like to
know what I'm getting. Does anyone know if it's an imported reissue or the
genuine article? Does it sound more akin to those Caroline releases (Malcolm
X Park & Kustom Karnal�.) more punky / even less poppy? Did any of this
stuff make it onto Fuck Pussy Galore�? I know, lotsa questions, but
inquiring minds just gotta know.

I was out record shopping the other day and I found three Slowdive e.p.'s:
Outside Your Room
Morningrise
Holding Our Breath
I got each of these for $9, but I've seen people selling Morningrise for $25
or $30, and I've seen Holding Our Breath going for ridiculously high
amounts. Is there only a certain pressing that is worth a lot, or did I
just get lucky? All three are on vinyl, by the way. Also, what's the
availability of the "Slowdive" and "5" e.p.'s?
Thankya,

'amber' is not their first lp, 'incunabula' is, honky. get your facts
straight. ;) anyway, i'd say 'incunabula' is the most rhythmic, 'amber' the
most melodic, and 'tri repetae' the most crunchy of their releases. they
are perpetuating the current direction of warp and aphex and disjecta (mark
clifford of seefeel) towards crunchy, clanky, noisy techno. i say buy amber
and if nothing else, buy tri repetae for 1) the included 'garbage' ep and
2) the record company puppets so they can see that licensed stuff is
actually selling in america and will license more so we don't have to pay
through the rectum for techno imports.

Real Audio is supported by the macintosh, but not I-Wave.
RealAudio 2.0 (beta) has also a player for unixes.
I don't know another real time high compressed audio type available on all
theses hardwares (crap PC, nice-but-old Mac, and unix)
If you use a standard non compressed format (.au, 8kHz Unix Audio File), any=
body
should read it, but it uses so much place...
Hope it helps.

Note that Iwave doesn't support Unix either, just Windows.
Of real-time-download formats, RealAudio has Mac and Unix players. I'm
not sure what other real-time sound technologies are springing out of the
woodwork nowadays. Of regular sound files, there are Mac and Unix players
for all the normal formats (au, aiff, mpeg, wav...)

All I know is I own the CD of this -- it was discarded by my girlfriend's
brother, who became a born-again Xian and apparently decided that MARRS, U2,
and other tame bands were Satan's music.
Point being, I know it was released on CD on a pretty widespread level. Was
quite the moneymaker for 4AD when it came out (...before all their
alternarock stuff started paying the bills...)

I have the digipack version, which has two mixes of the song plus "Anatina".
There is also a U.S. version that has six tracks, five of which (I think)
are all mixes of "Pump Up The Volume" and, again, "Anatina."

Just received tonight fuck pussy galore lp on Matador. It happens to be a
compilation / reedition of it?
It reads: State Champs 1.p (TeenBeat 14) 1000 pressed, and 2000 pressed in
Belgium. So, it seems to be the same material inside.
