this MAY have been said before,
"where knock is open wide" is not only a HNiA song but also a
theodore roethke poem. they are not the same, but the HNiA song really
captures the "michigan" in the Roethke poem. "fish me out" seems to be
the only ver-batim line between them. check out michigans own roethke in
that big huge building where they keep all the dead trees that are
written on.

I just wanna add my two cents as well...
Suede's Animal Nitrate 7" has:
"this skinny boy is one of the girls" and
"to the immoral immortal" scratched on it.
the end.

I saw this movie last night on cinemax or one of those pay-channels about a
guy who was killed and came back as a sandman who was killing people. The
short of it was that it was this guy's brother who's dad had stitched his
mouth shut and used to beat him; so he killed the father, and then became this
ferocious killer.
Anyway, cheesy movie aside; they kept playing this one song; "go to sleep" or
something like that all throughout the movie and it was a really neat song.
Very haunting; and it was probably written just for the movie; but I'd like to
find it. Anyone have any clues about this song? It was a female vocalist and
kind of lilting lyrics; makes your skin crawl. I liked it immediately.

Modern English last night was a nice surprise indeed!
They didn't suck! They were actually really good, even
with Robbie Grey the only original member left. Most
of the set, all but three songs, was from their three
4AD albums, and two were from Mesh and Lace! It was
such a treat to hear them open with "16 Days". I think few
bands would have the guts to go back that far, and it was
quite true to the original, minus the samples. Later, they
even did "Gathering Dust," which I'm sure annoyed the hell
out of the new wave kids who were just there for "I Melt
With You"! Some of the songs suffered from not enough keyboard
(someone should tell that guy to learn the songs better) or
waek lead guitar, but overall it was very enjoyable. The only
song that just did not work was "Life In The Gladhouse"
which was mainly drums and nothing else. The band seemed
totally into playing the songs, and Robbie himself was
quite animated and cheerful. He kept acknowledging a group
up front obviously into the really old ones. At some point
one of them shouted an ancient song title like "Swans On Glass"
and one of the band members shrugged his shoulders while
Robbie said, 'they don't know how to play that!' Someone shouted
"I Melt With You" which brought a 'now, you're just going to
have to wait for that one'. After "16 Days" Robbie said 'that
was almost as good as sex!' Here's a complete list
of what they played, not in order:
16 Days
Gathering Dust
After The Snow
Life In The Gladhouse
I Melt With You
Ricochet Days
Hands Across The Sea
plus 3 new songs
Their new material sounded OK. I'd even go as far as saying
I'm looking forward to hearing the album. One of the three they
did, though, was rather bad. It was also very interesting that they
completely ignored both Stop Start and Pillow Lips. Maybe they
realized that these albums are almost universally hated.
Laika and the Cosmonauts were a load of fun. Really wacked out
surf music from Finland. Plus beyond all the craziness, they
were obviously brilliant musicians. Sadly, the crowd was much more
into the lousy grunge-funk opening band The Extinct, but there
was a small crowd swinging to the sand-n-surf eventually.

That's all.<==
I agree with both your sentiments concerning this topic, but I also
can understand the other side a bit as well. The same thing has
happened with Wax Trax records. There was a point where you pretty
much knew that if you liked the kind of music Wax Trax put out, you
knew what to expect from the label. You could be assured that if you
picked up a Wax Trax record, even if you never heard of the band,
there was a pretty good chance you would like it. The same goes for
4AD...I mean, I think it's cool that Ivo picks some of the bands he
does, but it dilutes what used to be the '4AD sound' whatever that
is. Wax Trax's fan base thinned out after they broadened their
horizons...I don't see that happening to 4AD, because they appeal
to a more divergent group of people. But the reason people dig 4AD or
Wax Trax, or Sub Pop or whatever is because of the character that
label expresses thru the acts they sign. I mean, you don't see any
'Warner Brothers' or 'Sire' fan bases, because they are so divergent
as to have no personality.
Anyhow, thats my 2 cents for what it's worth.

I'll match your Prince and raise you Led Zeppelin, Benny Goodman,
Genesis, Thelonious Monk, Philip Glass, Pink Floyd, Beastie Boys and
James Brown. Plus recordings of Mongolian throat-singing and Hawaiian
slide guitar, and oh yes The Best Of Desi Arnaz. Who says any of the rest
of us only listen to 4AD/thislisty music?

(a) Not liking particular releases does not imply that one's not open
minded. I think I'm fairly open minded, as perhaps the list above
demonstrates. I just happen to think nearly everything 4AD's released in
years isn't very interesting or innovative.
(b) Favorite label? Dunno if I have one. There doesn't seem to be a trend
toward things I like being on a single label, these days.
Ah well, old arguments being rehashed too often. I just wish people would
refrain from attacking the "open mindedness" of those of us who don't
worship all of 4AD's recent releases. OK?

Amen. As far as the ridiculous "closed mindedness" tag goes, it would
appear to be that most of us, as avid and meta-music lovers, are _quite
the contrary_.

Alex, A.R. Kane via Simon Reynolds "Blissed Out - The Raptures of Rock":
"We want people to look at music in a new way, not just as a blase thing
that's just there in the background. It should be like when you see a
tree and suddenly it's a though you see it for the first time. You've
lived with trees for twenty-five years or whatever and it's got you so
you don't see them, and suddenly you think: "Amazing!" Biggest shock of
your life, when that kind of thing happens. I think music can help you
see things freshly and make you want to experience everything like that,
as though you'd just been born."

hello all..
this is to be my first post here, though ive been a lurker
for some time now..anyhow, to simplify matters, here i go.....
one..can anyone point me in the direction of bands/albums using
the methods and sounds such as slowdive's pygmalion album?
i find it interesting and beautiful in its simplicity and
minimalist attitude...
two..im also in search of bands/albums not unlike the sound of
slowdive's ambient/electronic insturmentals "good day
sunshine" and "missing you"..anyone who can help me find
things similar to this as well will be praised..
three..im looking for slowdive/mojave3 shows..this goes without
saying..i dont have a wide variety for trade, but i
do have plenty of cure shows..
four..i recently found the "souvlaki/blue day" double cd *used*
for a mere thirteen dollars..im wondering as to the exact
rarity and going price for this..and no, its not for sale :-)
i believe the catalogue number is something like crecd139x
or something like that..
so thats all..anyone who can help me will have a fondness in my
heart forever..thanks in advance..

I dont have lots of their dics but some songs i've heard from
The Durutti Column are on this direction.

The second Silvania album, Paisaje III, is very close to this
ambient style, though they sing on most of their songs. Anyway they
can give to that sound sensations of melancholy, beauty, and sweet
pornography. Paisaje is a real gem.
> so thats all..anyone who can help me will have a fondness in my

Just to say that a great local band will release some stuff
on a sampler cd, their influences are slowdive's sound ala catch the
breeze, erik's song, silvania's shoegazer phase and some guitars a la
play fortoday, aforest, primary from cure. They're really great.
Regards.
Wilder.

Didn't it rock? I can't get that song out of my head! I have to find it. I
guess this entails taping the end of that movie the next time its on and
writing down the title and singer.

Miranda Sex Garden = Heavenly Voices II(?) I believe. I like the song on the
compilation, but I haven't gone out and bought any of their CDs. Maybe
someone else knows more about them?
> know folks would just love and has anyone heard of an obscure banfd or

Black Rose!!!! I love them! I have 2 of their CDs. _the room inside_ and
_silent tears_ on contedisc out of Italy. Unfortunately they've been sucked
up by Hyperium. (Well, they could have suffered a worse fate elsewhere, I
guess...) Mara is the woman's name who sings; she's half of the group. I'm
not sure if the other guy with her is her husband or just fellow band member.
They cover a couple of cindyTalk tunes on _the room inside_. "Circle of Shit"
and I forget the other one. Email me personally if you want me to make a tape
of some of their stuff for you or something. I wish more people liked them.
I think they've got a new CD out on Hyperium.
