Sonya Waters from our long defunct band Orange

surprise if all of you who liked the CD sent her a birthday card.
If you'd like to be part of this, please send a card to the address
below and I'll forward it unopened to her in New Zealand.
Be sure to mark it c/o Sonya Waters.

I have to say one thing about the Swans live - They're absoultely horrible.

I saw the show on Saturday in Boston (well, actually somerville, at the
Somerville theater) and they just can't reproduce what they do on album
live. The album does the band so much more justice, and I'd of had a
terrible time at the show if not for the fact that my girlfriend and I
spent the entire show complaining and falling asleep. Bleh. I'm glad
they're not touring anymore. I don't want to see them again.

(this is all, of course, my opinion, and you can take it at face value.)

I managed to get the Gus Gus Promo of Believe.
3 tracks - A remix by LFO, Original Version and a Premix by one of the
members of the band.
Luckily inside there were some photocopied sheets that the record pluggers
send to record shops. It contained the plans for Gus Gus for the next few
months basically that 4ad will be promoting the band quite heavily with
features in almost rock mag/paper and lots of play on the radio
(including Pete Tong/Danny Rampling) . Videos on MTV (on rotation and a
news item) and the ChartShow (UK sat morning childrens show).
The album will be reviewed in March so I guess its out around then.

As for the music. Excellent.  I think Gus Gus are one the best signings
the label has

I just received word from 4AD Mail Order that they have found a small

the red slip case) and also of the Belly 'King' CD (the 6x8" book). The
order numbers are CADD5002CD and CADD 5004CD respectively; there are
about 60 of each left, and they're sold at the regular price of 12
pounds. Their address, in case you don't have it, is PO Box 3813, London

Although their new cd wasn't cheaper than at a store, i wouldn't call a
$2/$3 difference 'openly exploitive' (sp?).  Around me, the new cd is
selling at $19-$20 (plus tax).  Moreover, on the last tour, they were
selling their individual CDs (Gira's or Jarboe's) for $10 each, which is a
few dollars cheaper than i've ever seen either of them new.  I guess it's
their last chance to make some $.  :)

                Really?  I bought one of the shirts with the "Visualize Total
Annihilation" written on it.  I thought it was rather cute.  Overall I
didn't think it was over-priced for the cd "Sountracks for the Blind"
which came autographed by both Michael Gira and Jarboe, what I did
think was strange was that on their web-site, to order the same cd
signed was $60.00 (i believe).  This doesn't make any sense to me and
I was wondering if in fact it was an odd joke of some sort.  Anyhow,
they were great live, and if anyone has a copy of Michael Gira's book
and feel the need to sell it or get rid of it, I'll take it off your
hands (seriously).

Yes and no, the Children of God recording is slow in a dirge like
"banging your head agianst a wall underwater" sort of way, where Burning
world" and "White Light ... " were slow in an acoutstic more etheral way,
Gira's voice is still creepy though.

In an unusual move, Beggars Banquet Records Limited has decided to
renegotiate their overseas licensing deals.  It seems Martin Mills would
rather have his label distributed via independent channels.  Which
means, in Canada at least, instead of new Bill Janovitz and Swell albums
going through PolyGram, they will be released through Koch
International.  Beggars Banquet now has a full US office in NYC and new
US releases are graced with a fresh Beggars logo.  Although Martin is
also co-director of 4AD, Ivo will still keep his various licensing deals
in tact as is.  In Canada, 4AD has enjoyed fifteen years of distribution
from PolyGram while Warner Bros./Reprise has handled 4AD in the US since
early 1992.  Ivo has seen his dream of a single US distributor come
true, save for Throwing Muses and Tanya Donelly, who are handled
uniquely by Rykodisc and Reprise respectively...

always wore.

Greetings...

> Well, actually, I think I'm ready to make that scramble...so, which
> titles do you consider to be "must haves"?
>

                Well, I recomend strongly that you check out the following:

Greed/Holy Money- the brutalness of the early material works into a
faster pace, even dance oriented in vague kind of way.  Still pounding
and angry but in a dark numb kind of way.  A bit more on the
industrial side, Jarboe's keyboards start to make their mark on the
music.

Love of Life- Actually where they started to mellow down, still dark
and slighty uneasy, but more of a grating dullness than a ball-pein
hammer to the dome.  The track "Amnesia" is quite excellent.

Michael Gira- Drainland- more recent solo project, a return to some of
the agression of early period but a lot cleaner.  This one is like a
stick poking you in the eye at times, but it pauses to poor salt in
your wounds now and again.  The track "Blind" is very haunting and
beautiful.

White Light from the Mouth of Infinity- definately more mellow than
everything from the early period, but it retains some rolling
percussion at points, it's got a lot of acoustic guitar and keyboards.
The track "Failure" is a slow drudging folk-song, sounding almost like
something you'd hear if you worked in a coal mine in the 1800's, but
more on theedge of insanity.  Bloody good track.


The Great Annihilator-  A return to the earlier sound after a
particularly strange period, whereing "the burning world" was
released.  I've only heard "The Burning World" once, and wasn't
terribly interested at the time, but I might perhaps like it at this
point.  This period was a lot of folk-oriented material, some of it
almost country sounding.  The "Great Annihilator" was a refreshing
updating of their early sound.

Soundtracks for the blind- Double cd, very nice, atmospheric at times,
quite mellow at points and equally as disturbing.  A wide variety of
material here, but most don't really seem like songs, but fragments
transplanted into a strange flowing river of ambience.  This I would
get after the rest.

Filth- Their first album, quite good.  Very brutal and noisy, pounding
drums, their most aggressive material.  The cd "Body to Body, Job to
Job" is outakes, 24 track recordings and other early rarities, and it
is very much like Filth.  I recomend it as well if you're really in to
this early sound for tracks like "Mother by Body Disgust me," but I do
have to say the sound quality is sketchy at times.

I could keep going, but this should keep you busy for now.  The Swans
have been together for almost 15 years now, and it's interesting to
see the varying musical directions they went in.  Michael Gira is
starting a new project called, but their name escapes me at the
moment.  I'm curious to see where he's going now.

Yours in Truth-

>coil

>ryuchi sakamoto

>psychic tv

Here's my opinion:

Coil-"Love's Secret Domain": a classic of electronic derangedness, with
guest vocals by Marc Almond & Annie Anxiety...makes Marilyn Manson look like
Hootie & the Blowfish (but it in NO way sounds like Marilyn's death
metal/NIN retreads).  Songs about LSD, death, homoeroticism, prostitution,
and "Teenage Lightning" (an obscure reference to a print by Max Ernst which
seems to mean sexual intercourse of course).

Loop-never liked them.

Ryuichi Sakamoto-His "Neo Geo" album has a great song, "Risky", with vocals
from Iggy Pop.  Soundtrack to "The Last Emperor" is good, and some of his
Yellow Magic Orchestra stuff was good ("Naughty Boys"), and his
collaborations with David Sylvian ("Bamboo Music/Bamboo Houses", "Forbidden
Colours", "Taking Islands in Africa" from Japan's "Gentlemen Take Polaroids"
album).  His production of Virginia Astley's "Hope in a Darkened Heart" is
really lovely, with swirling synthetic strings throughout.

Japan-Quiet Life, Gentlemen Take Polaroids, Tin Drum: These are all some of
my all time favorites...they increased in musical refinement pretty
drastically from one album to the next in a very brief period of time (the
earlier two albums are great if you like trashy New York Dolls glam).  They
are still pretty much a guitar oriented band with a lot of electronic
flourishes on "Quiet Life", but once "Gentlemen Take Polaroids" comes along
it's Satie/Sakamoto/Asian-electronic heaven, and even BETTER blue eyeliner
to go along with it.  "Tin Drum" is their masterpiece, possibly titled after
Gunter Grass' novel of the same name, but COMPLETELY influenced by of all
things (for a band named Japan no less!!!) China and Chinese
musics..."Canton" is instrumental perfection, "Talking Drum" and "Still Life
in Mobile Homes" truly fascinating in their skewed rythms.  Japan is also
one of the best bands ever to really highlight the bass (like early
PiL)...What more can I say?  Buy one of their discs and you will realise how
horribly Duran Duran ripped them off (in a very insufficient way at that!).

Psychic TV-They have probably 8 million albums so beware!  Most are really
quite bad...this is a band that has gone through many musical styles and has
never lived up to what I thought was it's pinnacle of promise in the
mid-80's, to become a truly great pop band with a singer with a pierced
penis (AND with former members of Throbbing Gristle, a very important but
vastly overrated band).  Their masterwork in my estimation is "Dreams Less
Sweet", which is a fascinating collage of music not unlike "Home is in Your
Head" by HNIA.  It is both beautiful, soothing, and scary as hell.  At times
it's like good Philip Glass, The Beach Boys (they beat HNIA by about 14
years!!!), and at others it is like Monte Cazazza (who makes a guest vocal
appearance via telephone) or a tame almost poppy version of a song like
"Discipline" by Throbbing Gristle.  Also good is "Force the Hand of Chance"
with guest vocals by Marc Almond (again), which is also pretty "poppy" for
them.  FINALLY, the "Hex Sex" compilation is great too for stuff like "The
Papal Breakdance" and "Godstar".

Hope this all helps--it was just pretty scary that you asked about so many
artists I really love!!!

There are some quieter moments on "Children Of God", including the
gorgeous "In My Garden" which any CT/TMC/DCD fan will dig mightily.
There's another very pretty song where Jarboe sings about drowning her
lover...

Lots of that classic Swans
"Thud.
Grind.
Thud.
Grind.
Grind.
Pause.
Thud."
stuff, too, of course. Sort of like the Stooges played at 16rpm (jeez I
just dated myself!)

What I find interesting about the album is the lyrical focus -- it's
basically Christian Rock of a very dark, negative, Calvinist flavor. All
about how loathsome and sinful we are and how God is going to doom us to
eternal torment*. I've had the album for nine years now and I'm _still_
not sure whether they're being sincere or not.

*nothing about "quivering" or "there is no butter in Hell", though.

Yes. The book "This Rimy River" should be available. Ask in a decent

Well, I have a couple of Pixies bootlegs with fairly good sound. One's
from KTS(?), called "Velouria Live", and the other one is called "Black
Diamonds" - which is a collection of various studio sessions.

Ah, it take a lot more than that to split my hair, your right about 2-3
bucks being no big deal, but hey to me that's a meal and bacuse I'm a
broke college i can get sort of annal at times.  And I was tempted just
because I'd rather see Gira and Co. get the money directly rather than
some store but I well, I was broke at the show too. And yes, their prices
for the T shirts and stuff were not that bad, $12 is a great price, even
if I didn't like the shirt. I guess I was just bitter about not getting
my paycheck until after the show and not being able to buy anything.
However, I did get the Jarboe CD at the last show, and haven't seen it
anywhere since.  So I'm happy about that.

It would shock me if Spain got a deal with Verve, which is a jazz label.
By the way, last weekend I went to the Verve Jazz Festival in Atlanta,
and the Charlie Haden Qrtet. performed. It's astonishing how much Charlie
Haden, and his son Josh who fronts Spain, are total look-alikes! Same
mannerisms, too.

By the way, in an article or program notes it said  that Charlie Haden
has covered one of son Josh's tunes, accompanied by Pat Metheny.

I don't like them, and believe me, I'd really love  to like them, cause
there are so few decent bands playing around Atlanta, where I live, and
where Rosewater has re-located. And by the way, I love CT, DCD, HNIA, and

Unfortunately a lot of my cds are suffering from "over listening" and

(since I'm all the way over here in Australia I'd much prefer  to
trade then sell)

THROWING MUSES University
THROWING MUSES Red heaven
KENDRA SMITH Five ways of disappearing
UNDERGROUND LOVERS leaves me blind
LUSH Spooky
DIRTY THREE Sad & Dangerous
RIDE Grasshopper ep (Japan)
JESUS & MARY CHAIN Vengeance (live album)
BUFFALO TOM Sleepy eyed (promo stamped)
MAGIC DIRT Signs of satanic youth

With the exception of Ride and Red heaven all are Australian editions
although I doubt the track listings differ.

Some of the bands whose releases I'd be interested in trading are...

His Name Is Alive (just about anything)
Velour 100
Red House Painters
Smog
Grenadine
Scenic
Half String
Stereolab
Flying Saucer Attack
Gorkys Zygotic Mynci

I'd be willing to trade for a whole range of other stuff too, let me
know. As usual, responding to me personally is less likely to annoy
the list.

Hope to hear from you,

 Well, I received a mail from Nina Hagen=B4s mailing list about the music
zines of the year. There was this address, so if this is a mailing
list, please suscribe me. My name is Jose Enrique Plata M. I am 21 year
old Colombian economics and law student at the Universidad de Los Andes
here in Bogota. I am longtime fan of bands and artists like : The Cocteau
Twins, Pixies, Lush, The Breeders, This Mortal Coil, Matt Johnson, The
Wolfgang Press, The Birthday Party, Colourbox, Xmal Deutschalnd, Unrest,
Air Miami, Dead Can Dance, Pale Saints, Kirstin Hersh, His Name is Alive,
The Happy Family, Belly, Throwing Muses, and some others.=20
I have the following questions. Please help me.
 1. Is the Cocteau Twins single box set still available in the United
States. A friend of mine saw the eropean version in Vienna and it was
really expensive. Is there a big diffrence between them?
 2. Is there any possibility of finding a book containing a selection of
v23 and Vaughn and Oliver=B4s work?
 3. Has the e.p of the Twinstwistle Brass band ever released in America.
Also is there a C.D. version of the Pale Saint=B4s E.P that has a "hidden
track"?
 4. Is there any possibility of finding a box set containing all of the
Pixies and Breeders E.P=B4s?
 5. Which bands have Peel sessions besides the Cocteau Twins, Xmal
Deutschland and The Birthday Party? Are they available somewhere?
 6. Which bands and artists have good quality recordings of their concerts
and presentations? I mean bootleg recordings. Not the one from Lush sold
by KTS which has a horrible sound quality.
 7. Is there a big difference between Unrest=B4s Imperial FFRR release in
America and the U.K.?  Besides the Portrait, is there a difference between
the track listing? Should I buy the American or the British Version?
 8. Where can I speak with Ivo about a local band in here who has been
working for more than eight years and whose influences include: Pixies,
Cocteau Twins, New Order, Bela Bartok and The Cure?
 9. Which bands have toured or been "incognito" in South America,
especially in my country: Colombia?
10. Air Miami=B4s Me.Me.Me. release states that there are more Air Miami=B4=
s
releases in cassette. All though they are offered by Teenbeat, has any one
heard them?
11. Is there any possibility of finding a copy of the American release of
all This Mortal Coil=B4s box set called 1983-1981 now?
12. Has any band or artist released a C.D.Rom with 4ad? Are there plans to
release one?
13. Has any one heard a band called Tsunami and another one called The
Glee Club?
14. This Mortal Coil=B4s first release, "Sixteen Days Gathering" has been
released in America as a C.D. Which artists are featured?=20
15. Whatever happened with the girls from Xmal Deutschland. Was the Peel
Sessions recordings their last one?
16. Is Ivo married, who can make a biography of him? This is because I
want to write an article of the label and I would like to get this
information.
17. Is there any possibility of making a "Son of This Mortal Coil" as Ivo
said in 1993?
18. Has there been some other release of 4ad posters in these years?
19. Where can I find the Lilies release? I=B4ve been searching for it for
more than two years and it is impossible to find it.
20. Is the Guernica sublabel still functioning?
21. Is there some independence between 4ad America and 4ad U.K.?
22. Two or more opportunities I sent the card for obtaining a copy of the
label=B4s catalog. A local recordstore has a copy of it. But where are mine=

What was even more scary was that I agreed totally with all you said.

Ooohh, reading your article gives me this incredible urge to dig out
"Tin Drum" by Japan.  ...  Ah!  "Once I was young / Once I was
smart".  It's an absolutely brilliant album, but I haven't played it
for half a year or so, for some reason.

It's really a must-have album.

Subject: Ivy remixes


Hey.

On a whim, I stopped at a Blockbuster Music yesterday to browse through
the CD singles, and found a CD by Ivy that I'd never seen or heard of
before.  It's a single for "I Hate December (remix)"; and although it is
credited to Ivy, it's on Scratchie Records (Chicago), rather than their
usual label, Seed.  Apparently, three fellows put together the two
remixes.  The first is actually pretty cool - they stay very true to the
original (the way remixes used to be done back in the 80's), keeping the
bass and the guitar parts pretty much intact...in fact, at 2:40, it
clocks in at only 6 seconds longer than the original.  Track 2 (extended
remix) is just a 4:39 version of the first, with "clever" vocal
rearrangements that are actually really irritating.  Pass.  And track 3
is the original, just as it appeared on their _Lately_ EP.  Overall, it's
pretty cool, kind of as if Meat Beat Manifesto had done a really slick
remix of it.  The only real difference are the added drum loops (which
I've heard before on Xymox's cover of "Dancing Barefoot", among others)
and other kinda typical dance-music quirks, such as organ.  But after the
novelty wears off, I doubt I'll ever listen to it much again.

Sorry, maybe not properly thislisty, but I figured there were surely
other Ivy fans out there.  The copyright date was '96, so if it's
actually old news, well, then...oops.

There's also a new single out by former 4AD-ers Frazier Chorus.
Apparently, some outfit called Pure Records, Ltd. (original, eh?) is
going to release _Wide_Awake_ (which was originally released in the UK
back in the summer of '95) here in the US.  The original version of
"Driving" pretty much *sounds* like classic Frazier Chorus; the song
itself is pretty boring, but I must admit, the absence of Kate Holmes'
backing vocals and Chris Taplin's nifty guitars isn't as obvious as I'd
feared.  The remixes are much more stripped down and house-ish, as if
they're hoping to have a EBTG-esque dance hit with it.  Interesting once,
not so interesting the second time, though...

It also seem odd that at their show they seemed to be openly exploitive,
charging $20 for their new CD when it can be bought for $16-18 by retail

I noticed that, but I thought they had all just appeared recently,
and thus assumed that either the label or the distributor had kept a
few back! But then again I don't pay much attention to things I
already have, just in case they are cheaper than I paid for them.

Well, I have a very nice live-cd from the European Pixies tour in 1991. It's
very good quality... It was released by The Swingin' Pig Records, trademark
of Swingin' Pig SARL in Luxembourg. nr: TSP-CD-110 and it's a recording of
the gig at Leysin Festival in Switzerland, 11-07-91. title of the CD:
SUBBACULTCHA and contains 22 songs.

All I know about Tsunami is that it's a girls-band, who had some airplay on
MTV's 120 Minutes with the single "In a Name" from an album called "Deep
End", that must have been 1992-1993, haven't heard anything about them=

woo-hoo! more sylvian more sylvian! I hardly think that japan is not thislisty!
ok, here's a kevin bacon-esque connection... David Sylvian was in Japan,
and he worked on Hector Zazou's Rimbaud project with our very own Lisa
Gerrard and Brendan Perry of 4AD Dead Can Dance... there! there's the
legitimacy (sic).

As for the other people, ryuchi sakamoto has done many things with sylvian,
so there's *his* connection.  Other than that, all of my friends that liked
one of the above-mentioned bands usually likes the others, so they're all
valid..IMHO.

As far as reviews, that could take quite a long time.

Of course, i agree wholeheartedly.  But it should be noted that before this COIL
were quite different.  Their music fell, at that time, into that completely
silly category (silly that it's a category, not silly as in "Tee hee hee") of
the so-called "gothic" genre.  Don't think Sisters of Mercy, think twisted and
dark, with creepy atmosphere.  I highly recommend Horse Rotorvator, though i
haven't listened to it in years (it's on vinyl, give me a break!).  They also
tried to do the music for Hellraiser but it scared Clive Barker too much and he
backed out.

I completely agree. Usually, Gary Numan, the Residents, Nurse with Wound
and a few others seem to go with that list. It's strange, isn't it, how
certain blocks of bands go together?

The person who originally asked that question, in asking about
Japan/Sylvian/Sakamoto asked for reviews of an entire chunk of my
collection!  I could write a fifteen page essay alone on Japan and their
various incarnaitons-spinoffs.  Thanks for writing that peter! I started
to, but didn't have time to finish...

If you like Japan, you should definitely look for Rain Tree Crow, which is
the band Japan, but reformed and in not so much of a pop venue.  Apparently
they broke up and then gave it another go, but under a different name.  The
music is not like Japan's music; instead it is more languid and
contemplative, leaning more to the ambient side of things, but not quite.
It is excellent, regardless.

Also check out all of the other Sylvian projects and collaborations -
especially his work with Czulkay, Robert Fripp (who has contributed quite a
bit to Sylvian's solo projects).  Sylvain has also done work with Mick Karn
on Karn's solo albums, including one of the most beautiful songs ever (IMO)
"Buoy". Sylvain also contributed to Sakamoto's heartbeat album on one song,
"Heartbeat".  Coincedentally, Sylvian's wife, Ingrid Chavez, speaks/sings
on that track as well.  Most of the rest of the album is dance-y and not in
the good way.

Also, on Hector Zazou's Rimbaud project, Mr. X is David Sylvian.

would you ever guess that I'm a fan?

Thanks, Greyson, for the recommendations of your fave Swans recordings.

Now, as a return favor to you & everyone else who has been so helpful
introducing me to Swans, I will share some tidbits from a fascinating
article entitled "Swans Song" in the Jan '97 "Stomp and Stammer", an
Atlanta-based indie music monthly.  It's a great  interview with Michael
Gira, basically. Unfortunately I can't reprint cause I would be violating
copywrite...so here's some tidbits in my own words...

According to the interview, Michael Gira has started his own recording
company called Young God Records, and some of his first projects will be
"The Body Lovers", with cd-length mixes that will take off from the
"Soundtracks" cd; he also wants to do a project called "The Pleasure
Seekers" which would be quieter, acoustic, ambient; he wants to start
releasing other people's music, including Jarboe and some groups from
Norway, maybe via a compilation cd; he wants to do something with Bill
Rieflin, formerly of Ministry; and he mentioned wanting to reissue the
Swans stuff, describing his concept of how he would do it, down to the
packaging ideas. (Geez, this dude has some plans!)

One interesting and sad note was that just before he did the interview
with Stomp and Stammer, Gira's dad died, and he was very fond of his dad.
His dad's voice was used on "Soundtracks for the Blind" (Gira's father
had lost his sight in his later years.)

Lots of good stuff in this article, a capsule of Michael Gira's
upbringing, his family, his musical journey, and his future plans. A must
have article for Swans fans, imho. Now I'm counting the days til I get to
see them!

By the way, I pick  up this publication free at Tower Records, but
perhaps the entire issue, or at least the Swans article, will be
available via this website which was listed on front cover:
www.monsterbit.com/stammer/

Hope I haven't rambled too much!

In relation to Japan and David Sylvian Lisa Roo mentioned Hector Zazou. -
This exceptional musician and producer is worth more attention, I think.
The two CDs "Sahara blue" (a hommage to Arthur Rimbaud) and "Songs from the
frozen seas" are two of
my favourites... On the second you will find the best song Bj�rk has ever
sung;(and the clarinet solo lets me shiver each time I hear it...); also
there are John Cale, Suzanne Vega, V�rttina, Lena Willemark and other
musicians you should know. On "Sahara blue" there are two fine songs with
Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard (and another with Gerare Depardieu (!) on
the vocals)... Hear them, buy them, love them...

Be careful, there are two versions of Sahara Blue.  The one with the blue

G'day,

With all the discussion about Low recently, I went out and bought their

I was wondering if someone could tell me more about their earlier releases -
are they as good as this one? Is the production crisp, or lo-fi? Or have I

i was also at the show, and while i was not greatly impressed, i wouldn't
say they were horrible.  the music was loud and intense and they were on a
repitition theme the whole night, but they played quite well.  of course,
the studio albums can capture a lot more sonic detail.

low, however, was amazing.  very dynamic and melodic.  it was kind of slow
for some of the swans fans. one guy in the balcony even complained(quite
loudly) that low was just playing the same song over and over again(unlike
the swans who played one chord for twenty minutes).  they handled it very
humorously and didn't even flinch when the guy screamed "fuck you".

>(this is all, of course, my opinion, and you can take it at face value.)

>-john

i only wrote this to give you all another view at the show, not to belittle
john's opinion.

bottom line:  low was worth the fifteen bucks(and are returning to boston
in march if you missed them). the swans were interesting to see, but i
wouldn't see them again.

_Mysterio_ was a low point.  If you want great stuff by Ian McCulloch,
check out just about everything ever released by the original Echo and the
Bunnymen.  Also, his first solo album, _Candleland_, is quite beautiful
(the single for "Candleland" has Liz singing).  He's also the driving
force behind Electrafixion which I don't quite like.  However, rumors have
it that the remaining three original bunnymen are back together and
recording.

Hmmm get their self-titled cd called Dead Can Dance, In the Realm of the
Dying Sun
and Aion then tell me if they ever put out any duds.

Hey does anyone remember a silly new wave song from the
early 80's where the lyrics were "You know the dead can dance, the
dead can dance, you know the dead the dead the dead can dance".
I just remember a cheesy synth and some guy with a Dead Milkmen
singing voice doing it with another guy singing in the background.
Somebody please put me out of my misery and tell me who did this one.

Does this have all the mixes?  I believe there were at least two.  If so
I'd like to buy this for $17.

a cd single with the sleeve for the ivy "i hate december" fell into my lap
but, oddly enough, it came with a chainsaw kittens cd. i'm going to have
to write to scratchie about that.

ok, totally non-thislisty; anyone like fulflej (the much talked about
richmond band on scratchie)? if you don't like them, you'll break my
heart; they're sort of friends of mine....

Hola, que tal amigo?

You certainly have a lot of questions...you should work for the
alternative music press, if you don't already.

I can partially answer question number one: the CT box set is still
around but getting rarer...try one of the better on-line cd stores, like
Vinyl Ink. I think it goes for around U.S. $60, but as you know, price
goes up as items become harder to get. I don't know how it compares to
the European version...anyone else?
