    I picked up a Cd from Magnetic Feilds (The one with "I Have the
Moon") last month and It's really a lot like the Crash Test Dummies,
but at least the lyrics are alright.

Anyone here think that Marilyn Manson are a bunch of computer geeks
trying to act gross? But I have to say that "Anti-Christ Superstar" is
the best album name ever.

So, I happened to know a guy who knows someone from The Paladins - guess
you'll be interested to see what he's written to me yesterday.

---------- Forwarded message ----------

Date: Tue, 1 Oct 96 20:25:31 -0000
From: [email protected] I was interested to read that you heard that The Paladins were "the worst band signed to 4AD EVER." I didn't know it when I wrote to you last time, but yes, it's the same band. Actually, this is pretty funny. I met one of those guys in August during a visit to San Diego. A friend of mine who was in The Beat Farmers asked their bass player, Thomas, what was new. Thomas replied that the Paladins had signed a deal with an English alternative label. The band could not really understand why the label - with which they seemed to have nothing in common musically - wanted to sign them, but the label guys insisted that they LOVED the band and really wanted them. So, they signed. After reading what you had heard from your 4AD mailing list, I learned that he was talking about 4AD! Sounds like the guys in the band are not the only ones confused about what the Paladins are doing on the label. Oh well, like Lincoln said, you can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. I agree with you and Horace that nothing's beautiful from every point of view. It's all music to me - 15 years ago I was happily drumming in a band called Radio Reptiles that sounded like The Who murdering Captain Beefheart songs, something very, very different from what the Bandidos are doing. --------- well, for crying out loud - that was 4AD who approached the band. duh.

Rough Trade now have a web site (www.roughtrade.com), from which you can
order all sorts of goodies, but be warned:

* Their prices are a bit steep even by UK standards.
* Their "enter your credit card details here" page is not at all secure,
  so you are better off sending some other form of payment, by post

Howdy.

I have two related questions.

The first is, what is the deal with Underground Lovers?  What did they
release prior to Leaves Me Blind (is that the right title?) ?  Is that
their only release by Guernica/4AD? Their US debut (Dream It Down?) was
on Polydor, but contained about 4 tracks from the prior album...  So are
they no longer with 4AD?  And are they still together?

Second question is: What was released on Guernica besides Underground
Lovers, Unrest, and Insides?  Is Guernica still around or was that little
project axed?

They had one album before Leaves Me Blind, as I understand.
I've seen it in cutout bins every so often.

Yes.

The UK version of the album did not have the 4 Guernica
tracks. I'm happy to report that yes, they are still
together, having recently released an album called
Rushall Station on their own label, Mainstream Recordings.
Not only that, but Vincent Giarrusso has put out a booklet
of lyrics from (it seems) just about every UL song. It's
called "Rushall Station, lyrics and other writing",
and is available from Mainline Press in a limited run
of 500. You can contact them at [email protected],
or write to them at PO Box 1203, Fitzroy North, Victoria
3068, Australia.

I just found their catalogue again, and they have all the old
UL stuff: Get To Notice was the first album from 1990. They also have
a late 80's 7", T-shirts, etc.

That Dog. Guernica hasn't released anything since Clearskin.

"Josephine" and "100,000 Fireflies" will make you slap yourself for that

I concur.  I don't see the similarities at all, and The Charm of The
Highway Strip is an excellent album (I think that was the one he was
referring to).  Perhaps he should check out The Wayward Bus / Distant
Plastic Trees with Susan singing as a more gentle introduction to the
musical genius that is Stephen Merritt.  (100,000 Fireflies is still one
of my favorites.)

OK Perez, Here's the lowdown:
Everything is deleted unless stated

1980
AD1 Fast Set - Junction One (7"). Crap synth pop like early OMD, without the
tunes.
AD2 Bearz - She's My Girl (7"). Crap power pop.
AD3 Bauhaus - Dark Entires (7"). Three chord thrash, but effective. Their best
single bar Bela Lugosi
AD4 Shox - No Turning back (7"). More crap synth-pop.
BAD5 Rema Rema - Wheel In The Roses (12"). Goth rock, but quite good. Various
members went on to Adam & The Ants, In Camera, Mass and The Wolfgang Press
AD6 Modern English - Swans On Glass (7"). Two chord thrash, but a good song
nevertheless.
AD7 Bauhaus - Terror Couple Kill Colonel (7"). More gothic wailing, but not a
patch on Dark Entries.
AD8 In Camera - Die Laughing (7"). A bit Joy Division-y, but nonetheless
excellent stuff.
BAD9 Cupol - Like This For Ages (12") Gilbert And Lewis from Wire get all
avant-garde, and pompous.
AD10 The The - Controversial Subject (7") Matt Johnson's debut. He didn't
consider it worthy of reissue, but it's not that bad, and very rare.
BAD11 Various - Presages (12") Compilation of unsigned bands. Spectacularly
dreadful, although it does contain Red Atkins only vinyl outing (till the box
set, that is)
AD12 Birthday Party - The Friend Catcher (7"). Screeching feedback, churning
bass, an absolute masterpiece.
CAD13 Bauhaus - In the Flat Field (LP). Patchy, but still their best album. CD
contains all the singles too. Still available.
AD14 Mass - You And I (7"). Oh dear. Crap goth-rock.
AD15 Modern English - Gathering Dust (7") Bloody marvellous. All thrashing bass,
and hissing synths, but exciting nevertheless.
CAD16 Gilbert & Lewis - 3R4 (LP). See BAD9. CD (called 8 Time) includes BAD9 and
AD106.
(B)AD17 Bauhaus - Telegram Sam (7"/12"). Rubbish bolan cover, backed with a
really nasty John Cale cover (nasty as in very good indeed)
AD18 Dance Chapter - Anonymity (7"). Awful goth b-side, but fine spritely
a-side.
BAD19 In Camera - IV Songs (12"). More post-punk shenanigans, but a good
breadth. They had potential.

1981

AD101 Sort Sol - The Marble Station (7") Danish punks (The Sods) become Joy
Division fans. It's quite good, actually.
AD102 Past Seven Days - Raindance (7"). Kind of Gang Of Four meets Comsat
Angels. Six minutes of brilliance. They could have been a great band, but split.
AD103 My Captains - History (7"). Never heard this.
CAD104 Birthday Party - Prayers On Fire (LP). Sporadically brilliant
rockabilly/blues/swamp-rock. Still available.
CAD105 Modern English - Mesh And Lace (LP). Forget the final track which is
awful, this is Modern English's best LP, before they became a very ordinary
new-romantic pop band. Still available.
AD106 Gilbert & Lewis - Ends With The Sea (7"). Easily the best thing they did
for 4AD. It has a tune, and a clever atmosphere - almost like Labradford!
CAD107 Mass - Labour Of Love (LP). Ha ha ha ha
CAD108 Colin Newman - Provisionally Entitled the Singing Fish (LP). Twelve
quirky, but consistently interesting instrumentals, all called Fish. Still
available on CD with CAD201.
BAD109 Dif Juz - Huremics (12"). Durutti Column-ish instrumentals with more of a
rock setting. Dif Juz were ahead of their time (see Pell Mell, early disco
Inferno etc)
AD110 Modern English - Smiles And Laughter (7"). They were beginning to get a
bit formulaic.
AD111 Birthday Party - Release The Bats (7"). A classic - they don't make 'em
like this anymore (though lots of people try to)
AD112 Hackett/Jay - Nothing (7"). Nothing would be preferable to this bit of
codswollop.
AD113 Matt Johnson - Burning Blue Soul (LP). Recently reissued as a The The LP,
he never topped this. Another Boy Drowning is an astonishing song.
AD114 Birthday Party - Mr Clarinet (7"). Dates from '79 when the band were in
transistion from the off-kilter pop of 'Door Door' to the crawling chaos of
'Prayers'. Great song, though.
BAD115 Dance Chapter - Backwards Across The threshold (12"). Not heard this
either.
BAD116 Dif Juz - Vibrating Air (12"). Collected with BAD109 on the
still-in-print, vinyl-only Out Of The Trees. Just as good.
CAD117 Various - natures Mortes (LP). Very rare sampler for the Japanese market
collecting various bits and pieces from the above releases.

1982 - perhaps some other time.

The Birthday Party singles all come as extra tracks on their reissued CDs, and
most are on the brilliant 'Hits' compilation.
All the In camera stuff is on a CD called 13 (Lucky For Some)
The Modern English singles are all bonus tracks on their reissued CDs.
Of the tracks no longer available, the pick is definitely 'Raindance'.

All descriptions are, of course, ridiculously generalised, and terribly
subjective, but that's history for you.

I realise this will only be interesting to south-eastern Australians, but
it *does* at least have a tenuous 4AD connection ...


Spleen magazine, that benchmark of self-financed quality publishing (well,
we think so) is having a launch for issue three at the Punters' Club in
Fitzroy (Melbourne) this Sunday evening, October 6th.

The headlining act will be none other than Melbourne's finest,

                UNDERGROUND LOVERS

plus support from Sydneysiders Kemosabe and Trillion.

Admission is a low eight dollars; part of the door goes to the magazine.
Issues of Spleen, together with some tasty and unusual items from the
Underground Lovers, will be on sale at the venue.  One show only, be there
earlyish to ensure entry.

Hope to see you there!

I was cheking out some old magazines and I found out Fond Afexxions
number 4 or something (it includes interviews with Slowdive and Kristin

published a 4ad tribute issue. Does anyone has more info on this one? Is
this publication still around?

Thanks in advance!

'Disintegration'--The Cure
Wonderfully depressing all except Lullaby, Fascination Street, and Lovesong
(of course).

'Victorialand'--Cocteau Twins
Not depressing but an excellent winter-time album.

Shelleyan Orphan's Humroot is pretty melancholy... and although the whole
album isn't depressing, Les Couers Jumeaux (sp?) and Why Don't You See Me?
from Concrete Blonde's Walking in London always bring me way down....

I got a copy of "Moon Palace" from CD Connection,

Sounds like one of them funky remixes, although I can't begin to imagine
how "Wrong" would sound with its tempo doubled - its rhythm track sounds
manic enough as is.

Speaking of Everything But the Girl, or more appropriately Spring Heel
Jack, I just picked up the latest Tortoise remix 12", and it's kicking
my butt all ovah the place.  Sorta like a laid-back drum'n'bass spy
soundtrack or something.  Way cool.  Quite likely my favorite of the
three remix singles from 'Millions Now Living...' (with the UNKLE remix
coming in a very close second).

Yours in twitches,
