"Kombat Drinking", the final track on "Advance", is apparently about a
night out on the piss with Bartos and Flur.  Laetitia Sadier has
apparently recorded vocals for one of the songs on the album, which will
be released as a single (in 1998, if LFO keep up their usual rate of
work).

Or Captain Beefheart's "Strictly Personal", which was originally going
to be called "It Comes To You In A Plain Brown Wrapper" or something
similar - that was released in the late sixties, and there's a Free live
album (I think it's Free) from a few years later with similar artwork
(even down to the band members' faces being on the stamps).

Bought two compilations at the weekend, both featuring Main.  Sub Rosa's
"Folds and Rhizomes for Deleuze" has four long (>10 min) tracks by Mouse
on Mars, Main, Scanner and Oval, plus a short track of music with spoken
(French) words by Jaques Deleuze, who is apparently some sort of French
cultural theorist and hence unknown on this side of the channel.  The
music is very much in the minimalist/dark ambient vein, Mouse on Mars
inject some melody and dub sound effects, and Scanner slips in a couple
of pirated cockney telephone conversations (yawn), the Main and Oval
tracks are tuneless rumble/drone/buzz tracks (which I quite enjoyed,
being in that sort of mood this weekend).  The other compilation was the
Wire tribute album "Whore", a mixed bag - Laika are great as ever, Main
show they can actually play music with a tune (albeit "Used To", one of
Wire's less hummable songs), there are rather too many straightforward
punky covers, Bark Psychosis (with all the original members) do a
s l o w e d  d o w n version of "Three Girl Rhumba" which sounds
suspiciously like a pisstake.  My Bloody Valentine's "Map Ref (whatever
the numbers are)" is OK but sounds exactly as you would expect it to -
dreamy vocals and fuzzy music with a spiky, wiry guitar part.  Lush do a
straightforward cover in their current style.  Worth getting, but the
original versions are often far better.  Nobody can really mess up
"Outdoor Miner", can they?

Brendan Perry has decided to broaden his musical horizons by going to Brasil
        and learning the Samba.  He has included two drum-filled, hip
        shaking samba numbers in his latest album.  His voice carries the
        cry of the Samba dancers down the Avenue where the carnaval schools
        parade.  He was actually down in Brasil during this past carnaval,
        and many Brazilian DCD fans were ecstatic to hear him scream the
        name of the winner of the Schools of Samba,

I hope at least some of you have taken my
recommendation for the new Rollerskate Skinny
album to heart and picked it up. I've been bouncing
off the walls over this album for a while now.
The first masterpiece of 1996?

Picked up the two part Cocteau Twins single for
Tishbite yesterday (two CDs: Tishbite + 2 non-album
tracks and Tishbite + 2 other non-album tracks-- whoever
came up with this two-part single thing ought to be hung by
his fingernails). The non-album tracks are wonderful.

Also saw a bunch of the new Stereolab albums as $28 imports-- yikes!
Plus both Felt's Let The Snakes... and Poem Of The River at last
for reasonable prices on CD: $7.99. I guess someone finally figured
out that they're really EPs (at least in length).

I've not heard the new album yet, but I have been listening to
the four CD singles and I think they're getting a bum rap on this
list.  There are a couple of clunkers, but overall they're quite
good, and there is at least one excellent song per disc.  (Ex,
Tinkerbell, Carmen, and although they didn't write it --
Demystification).  And to anyone who thinks that this current
Lush sound is a "new" thing, I would think they haven't listened
to Split very much.

Good schtuff to me.

Wow!  That's amazing.  Since Lisa Gerrard covered that Tito Puente song  (...
which one was it that she did on the Mirror Pool tour?), it makes me wonder who
got them on this Latin kick and makes me *really* wonder what the next DCD album
will be like.

Milk And Kisses will be released on May 14.
Tishbite will only be released as a promo CD single
to radio stations, etc.
A US CD/EP may be released eventually, but not for a while.
A US tour may be in the works for June.

Apologies if this has been covered already on the Cocteau list.

Yep, I picked it up about a week or two ago.  I really don't know what to
compare it to, but I like it a lot.  It's got this weird mix of brit pop
influence with some plain ol' weirdness thrown in for good measure.  What
are their other albums like?

Subject: Re: Deleuze


Deleuze unknown on this side of the chanel?!!!! I dont know about
England, but here in the States, Deleuze is a pretty important
intellectual figure.

Gilles Deleuze (not Jacques!) was a french philosopher thought by many to
be the pre-eminent post-modern thinker. As far as things French he sorta
carries the torch from Sartre to Foucault to Deleuze. Following the
student revolutions of '68 he co-authored a landmark text "AntiOedipus"
that attacks psychoanalysis (and many othercultural theories) as being
overly predetermined and dominated by a prefabricated 'story'. The sequel
to the book "A Thousand Plateaus - Capitalism and Schizophrenia", that
takes the ideas of "AntiOedipus" and applies them to just about
everything else. His other books are about everything from more 'strict'
philosophy, as well as linguitics, logic (via 'Alice in wonderland'),
masochism, and culture in general. He committed Suicide at the end of last
year.

His work is far too complicated and lengthy to go into detail here, but
all his books are now available in English. Deleuze often takes a highly
irreverant look at the concepts and institutions of Western thought...
and though his writing is dense, once you break through his style, he
really is delightful to read.
If you're interested in any of the philosophical underpinings of such
things as chaos/ambient music/and I wager even the noise-pop of such
things as Stereolab I highly recommend Deleuze. The easiest entry into
his work is a short book called "Dialogues" that he co-authored with
Claire Parnet (Columbia Press 1987).

I was mysteriously unsubscribed from the list a couple of weeks ago.  It was
right after I mistakenly mail-bombed the list (sorry again), so I thought
maybe someone forged my email address and unsubscribed me to get rid of me.
(The bastards!)  But if that were the case, wouldn't I have gotten an email
from the listserv confirming that I was unsubscribed?

Our server was down for a day or so during that same time frame.  After a
few days of receiving no mail from the list, I got a copy of the subscriber
list from the listserv and noticed there was only one person from my site
subscribed.  I thought there were several people here (at xmission.com)
subbed to 4ad-L.

What does the listserv do if it can't deliver mail to a subscribed person
for a long period of time?  Does it automatically delete them from the
subscriber list?  Maybe this partially explains what happened.

Any other theories?

-Tony

i went to see lush in january for their promo tour, so i don't know that
they'll be doing that same setlist.  they ended with "demystification",
but that was the only b-side they did.  they didn't do much Lovelife, but
a lot of nice oldies.

it'd be nice if they did Carmen, but i'm sure i'm being too optimistic by
expecting them to do Plums and Oranges, the hidden gem...

i don't like Ex much really.  it kinda exemplifies the way lush's
lyric-writing has gone down.....

        Although I would like to take credit for the calculations,
it was actually Chris Limb what calculated the odds.  So, thanks to Chris
Limb for his efforts :)
