Hello Everyone,
Happy New Year!
This may have been asked before, but.....
Does anyone know if there will be a v23 calendar for '97? If not, do they
only put them out in certain years? Any information is appreciated.
Thanks,
Layne

My own personal listening history was different, so I saw the shoegazer
thing as coming out of a Sonic Youth / Jesus & Mary Chain / Cocteau Twins
axis, and in each case there I'm talking about the early good stuff, e.g.
"Bad Moon Rising", "Psychocandy", "Head Over Heels". Any serious woozy
guitar drone fan really needs to "Bad Moon Rising" -- for the first two
weeks I owned it [in early '87] I thought it was unlistenable noise, but
then it clicked and vast horizons of musical possibilities opened in
front of me.

Just bought the "Semtex" album and have been listening to it in bursts on
my new-for-Xmas car CD player. As far as I can tell only track 1 really
has a jungle thang going on, and it's the only track that doesn't work.
The rest of it is more minimal and definitely in the same territory as
Amp, although I still think Amp's album is superior due to its wider
range of styles and sounds. So why are 3EF getting 10x the hype of Amp?
Do Amp just need to remix "Rave Mantra" with a stuttery breakbeat so
critics can drop the dreaded "J" word?

The new album from Bettie Serveert is called "Dust Bunnies" and will be
released on Matador in North America on March 25th on all formats. I
don't know if Beggars Banquet is releasing it in the UK or not. Also, I
wonder if the album title is related in anyway to fellow Matador roster-
ites Dustdevils... Probably no connection. Go figure.

Listies in that area should also check out the fest for the Autocollants
who have a nice dreamy set. They have a 7" EP out on Drive-In records.

I am much of the same mind as you on this, Jens. And BMR ranks as my
1st or 2nd face SY album, depending on how song-oriented I am feeling
(Daydream Nation is its competitor). But when I first heard
Loveless, which was the cd that made me realize how incredible MBV
were (I already owned Isn't Anything but didn't listen to it much),
the first thing I thought of was how similar the guitar sounded to
some of the tracks on Sister.

I've listened to Darryl's copy of 3EF and my own will be coming in
soon--can't wait. Would love to hear Amp, though.

I'm listening to HMIA-King of Sweet now, and wondering if there are
any other non 4AD releases from HMIA? I heard from an unrealible sorce
once, that they had a few other 7" singles on a another lable. Is this
true?

Has any one seem the show AMP on MTV? I discovered it Friday nite, its
on at 1:oo. The hour long program showed some of the best videos I've
seem in a long time. That week's show featured underworld,fsol,
prodigy, orbital, massive attack, aphex twins, etc. I highly recommend
it.

Hello.
Apparently (according to the 4AD Hotline)...
The first release of the new year will be Michael Brook's soundtrack for
"Albino Alligator" in February.
Yippeee!!!
Michael Brook and Kevin Spacey. Who said Canada was shit? Maybe THE shit!
Remember, Alannis does not a shit country make (only shit records).
Also mentions of new stuff from Tarnation (on Warner Bros. in the US) Tanya
Donelly, Gus Gus (LP in April), and possibly the Pixies retrospective
sometime. No mention of the 10" series.
call 310.535.1714 for more info.
*Only $1 a minute.
Bye.
Roy
*only in select areas. In other areas, normal long distance charges may
apply.

I just read this and I'm dying for any new Pixies material or any old
ones I might have missed (I have Bossanova, Doolittle, and Surfer
Rosa) Small amount probably compared to most. I also see Tanya
Donnelly... if anyone can help me out in when any of this will be out
or anyinformation about it - please tell me I need some things for my
zine...
thanks

well, i finally got a copy of Tanya's new EP, and i like it a lot. i've
actually avoided reading the comments on this list about it, because i didn't
want to bias my opinion before i heard it.
i think it's a nicely varied bunch of songs, and i look forward to more EPs
and the new album -- which i guess won't be out in the US until something like
march.
in fact, i'd even go so far as to put it among my top 10-or-so releases of
1996. and here they are...
throwing muses - limbo
lisa germano - excerpts from a love circus
hannah marcus - demerol e.p.
the cannanes (self-titled)
ani difranco - dilate
the spinanes - strand
velour 100 - fall sounds
scheer - infliction
red house painters - songs for a blue guitar
lush - ladykillers e.p. #1
low - the curtain hits the cast
golden palominos - dead inside
love spirals downwards - ever
tanya donnelly - sliding and diving

Heck, I never figured I'd see one of my favorites, Happy Rhodes,
mentioned on 4AD-l! And then Deni Bonet...I mean, that gal's name takes
me way back to the mid-80's when she was all over the local music scene
when I lived in Morgantown, WV! Glad to see she's still rockin folks'
worlds!
