Well, if that's what Kant said I've lost respect for him (but this is the
kind of shabby sleight of hand that too many philosophers try to pull.)
The fact that the object's "beauty" isn't related to my explicit
biological needs (what you called "personal") doesn't mean that the
beauty is more than something I read into it. For instance, I may have a
"beauty need" that is fulfilled by that object, and my "beauty need" is
not connected to more physical needs like food or transportation.
However, this in no way implies that any two people's beauty needs are
similar and can be fulfilled by the same objects.

Jeez, and I never even studied philosophy formally; but I like to think
about things rigorously and with attention to the underlying symbology
beneath the verbal expression. For instance, in the above argument
(whether it's in Kant's original or your explanation) the problem is with
the word "personal". It's initially used to refer to a physical drive.
But then later its negation is taken to mean "impersonal" or "universal",
which absolutely doesn't follow if you look at the concepts under the
words.

But then again Kant was German, and German is a pretty confusing
language...

According to Tanya's US label Reprise/WB, she is still recording songs
for her solo debut album.  A worldwide Reprise and 4AD release of June
has been set.  Hopefully there will be one or two EPs in the meantime...

Well, sadly I just gave away my last copy of "Lilliput"...

Which Robert DeNiro movie features the song "Iceblink Luck" in it??  I
rented a movie called "Bad Boys" a while back and it was a really
cheaply repackaging of the movie "Valley Girl".  How many times is
Modern English's "I Melt With You" used during the course of that
movie?  Which Nicole Kidman movie features a song from The Wolfgang
Press??  Which movie, "Twister" or "Mallrats" makes more effective use
of Belly's "Broken"??  The song "Pump Up The Volume" wasn't used in the
movie of the same name but what other 4AD group was??

"Pump Up the Volume" = once again, Pixies "Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf)"

Here's an easy one:

What 4ad group's music is featured in the movie "Party Girl"??

Subject: Xymox CD-Single


I've got a question:
Yesterday I found a 5" CDS called 'Subsequent Pleasures' by Xymox. I didn't
know it existed and I've actually
seen more copies of the 7inch promo for 'A Day' (Boudisque, the
Netherlands) than I've seen this one. The CDS
comes in a slimline jewel box with a black & white insert which is a copy
of the original vinyl 12" cover. The
only clue on the CD is the catalogue number which is 'EUPHO 9101'.

My assumptions: A European release (CD itself was pressed in Austria) and
probably released in 1991. This is
because in 1994 'Subsequent Pleasures' was released in combination with the
'Clan Of Xymox' demos
on Pseudonym Records to mark the 10th anniversary of the band so it
wouldn't make much sense to
release SP with less tracks after that.

So.... Who knows more about this one???

Cheers,

Iwan


New & Highly recommended:
12inch  by Flowchart - Evergreen Noise Is Flexible (very Stereolab-ish &
only a 1000 exist)
Box with 3 12inches released by Drunken Fish Records called 'Harmony Of The
Spheres' with a.o. Jessamine
& Flying Saucer Attack.

(A great record shop can be found on:   www.xs4all.nl/~distort    )

This is going to sound really ignorant and stupid, but indulge me, I'm
dying here.

Lisa Germano - ex Dead Can Dance or ex (wait for it) John Mellancamp band
(fiddle player)

and be gentle...
