Subject: How to use this list


Please save this message for future  reference, especially if you are
not
familiar with LISTSERV.  This might look like a waste  of disk space
now,
but in  6 months  you will be  glad you saved  this information  when
you
realize that  you cannot remember what  are the lists you  are
subscribed
to, or  what is the command  to leave the  list to avoid filling  up
your
mailbox while you are on vacations. In fact, you should create a new
mail
folder for subscription confirmation messages  like this one, and for
the
"welcome  messages"  from the  list  owners  that you  will
occasionally
receive after subscribing to a new list.

To send  a message to  all the people  currently subscribed to  the
list,
just send mail to [email protected]. This is called "sending mail to
the
list",  because you  send mail  to a  single address  and LISTSERV
makes
copies   for  all   the  people   who  have   subscribed.  This
address
([email protected]) is  also called the  "list address". You  must
never
try to send  any command to that  address, as it would  be distributed
to
all the  people who  have subscribed.  All commands must  be sent  to
the
"LISTSERV  address",  [email protected].  It  is  very  important
to
understand  the difference  between the  two, but  fortunately it  is
not
complicated. The  LISTSERV address  is like  a FAX  number, and  the
list
address is like a normal phone line.  If you make your FAX call
someone's
regular phone number by mistake, it  will be an unpleasant experience
for
him  but you  will probably  be  excused the  first  time. If  you do
it
regularly,  however, he  will probably  get upset  and send  you a
nasty
complaint. It  is the same with  mailing lists, with the  difference
that
you are calling  hundreds or thousands of  people at the same  time, so
a
lot more people get annoyed if you use the wrong number.

You may leave the  list at any time by sending  a "SIGNOFF 4AD-L"
command
to [email protected]. You  can also tell LISTSERV how you  want it
to
confirm the receipt of messages you send to the list. If you do not
trust
the system, send a "SET 4AD-L REPRO" command and LISTSERV will send you
a
copy of  your own  messages, so  that you  can see  that the  message
was
distributed and  did not get  damaged on the way.  After a while  you
may
find that this is getting annoying,  especially if your mail program
does
not tell you  that the message is  from you when it informs  you that
new
mail  has arrived  from 4AD-L.  If  you send  a "SET  4AD-L ACK
NOREPRO"
command, LISTSERV  will mail you  a short acknowledgement  instead,
which
will look  different in your  mailbox directory. With most  mail
programs
you will  know immediately that this  is an acknowledgement you  can
read
later. Finally,  you can turn  off acknowledgements completely  with
"SET
4AD-L NOACK NOREPRO".

Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get
a
list of the  available archive files by sending an  "INDEX 4AD-L"
command
to  [email protected]. You  can then  order these  files with  a
"GET
4AD-L LOGxxxx"  command, or using LISTSERV's  database search
facilities.
Send an "INFO DATABASE" command for more information on the latter.

Please note that  it is presently possible for anybody  to determine
that
you are signed  up to the list  through the use of  the "REVIEW"
command,
which returns the e-mail address and  name of all the subscribers. If
you
do not  want your name  to be visible, just  issue a "SET  4AD-L
CONCEAL"
command.

More  information on  LISTSERV  commands  can be  found  in the
LISTSERV
reference  card, which  you can  retrieve  by sending  an "INFO
REFCARD"
command to [email protected].

Note from sender:  when I subscribe to alt.fly fishing, I do NOT want
shit loads of mail on spinning reels.  The same goes for this list.  I
want to read about 4AD and similar music.
Please save this and read the instructions on how to 'get the fuck off
the list', then get the fuck off the list.

I just got 'A Stable Reference' last week actually (many thanks to Tim from
the IDM mailing list). Having never heard Labradford before, my immediate
impression was that it was a *very* similar to the Cure's 'Carnegie Visors'
- all that funereal keyboards, echo-laden guitar, etc. Very good stuff.

Will definately seek out their first one...

Mixed Up' has been released yet? I think it may be a UK only release. Wrote
to Sister Ray Records in London a few weeks back and they replied that they
have never had it - how long does the record company wait between releasing
an album and releasing the single?

Cheers,
Geoff.

 I found the second album "The Long Arm of Coincidence" at the
 weekend, and it is every bit as good as the self-titled debut.
 Jessamine are a bit difficult to describe - they use antique
 synthesisers, distorted guitars, complex rhythms, male and female
 vocals.  Imagine Stereolab's more experimental side (but without
 Stereolab's repetitiveness), Sonic Youth's improvised side (but
 without Kim "Grunter" Gordon ruining everything by trying to sing),
 and Sonic Boom (Jessamine have been his backing band on occasion, and
 recently released an EP with him).  And the packaging for the new one
 is superb - that "post-rock" embossed wholemeal cardboard envelope
 style, but with really beautiful artwork.  Fellow Kranky bands Bowery
 Electric and Magnog are also worth a listen if you like this sort of
 thing (both a bit more guitar-oriented than Jessamine, and Magnog are
 a bit like a watered-down BE/Labradford mixture, but still pretty
 good).

the tedious job of cataloguing all the vinyl comps at the station has

few comps with interesting things, like one i came across from 1985
with a song by Sonya Waters. could this be the same Sonya Waters of
Orange, released on Dewdrops? i don't have the comp info with me,
but if anyone is really into Sonya, i can post it. and maybe, just
maybe, i can make cassette copies if you can't go on living without
hearing it (i only listened to a minute of it, it seemed okay but
not remarkable).

One version is on the album Last Splash, while "do you love me now

thing... It's "All Mixed Up" and 2 covers, one Neil Young and the other I
cant remember. The release date still isn't set.

It seems pretty blindingly obvious that we really need a list admin. Jim
Jones is history, I have no hope whatsoever that he'll ever show up

bit of time to spend on it. We need a "welcome" message sent to new

rejects anything with 'subscribe' in the title would be even better.)
Please, someone volunteer....

I can't believe that anyone could even for one second think this list had
anything at all to do with Kiss. Where did you find out about this list and
what were you told?

I suggest you do a web search for the "list of music mailing lists" (LOMML).
That should tell you what this list covers (and if there's a Kiss list as
well). There's also a FAQ for this list.

>maybe this list ought to do that also or is this

You could at least have waited until you had gotten some mail from this list
- that would have given you some idea of what it was about.

'Carnegie Visors' is a 27-minute instrumental used as a soundtrack for a
film that was played before Cure gigs back in '81, and has not (as far as I
know) been released on CD yet - the only release that I know of is the
B-side of the 'Faith' tape as you mentioned.

There are rumours that the Cure will be releasing an official B-sides
compilation CD next year, and even more rumours that there will be a
limited-edition version of this rumoured compilation, which would include
'Carnegie Visors'. I can't offer any confirmation of this though. *My*
suspicion is that the Cure will probably do something similar to ' Staring
At The Sea/Standing On A Beach' - ie, have a 'singles' compilation that
includes all the B-sides on the cassette release only.

However, I would dearly love to get a copy of 'Carnegie Visors' on CD - or
any copy at all actually. I've only heard it once, and that was listening to
a friend's tape about 5 years ago. Suffice to say that if you like
Labradford, you will *love* 'Carnegie Visors'.

Cheers,
Geoff
