Subject: Cover stars & lyrics
Thanks for the tip; I read the review @ http://www.live-wire.com/record-re
views/xframe/m/mojave-three/who-do-you-love.html
btw... That ain't the cover of the Ep. The real cover is excellent.
It's a color treated snap shot that Alan Forrester (hammond dude) took in
Cornwall (UK). The cover stars are "Smokin'" Billy Hill and Neil
Halstead... and their surf boards.
This was a positive review but it includes the ridiculous comments;
> "But it's the music behind the lyrics that deserve attention..."
--and--
> "Halstead's lyrics float in and out, more like clouds than verses."
Wow. That part really annoyed me. I am a huge fan of Neil's lyrics.
Have a nice day,
CB

fsa fans seem to be in two camps, the song-oriented one and the droney
instrumental one. for the former, get _further_, s/t (rural psychedelia),
and distance. in that order. for the latter, i definitely recommend the
sally free and easy e.p., the tele:funken project, and hm... you've
already got the two best ones.

er...shania twain? her hubby is noted producer robert john "mutt" lange,
who's tweaked tracks for foreigner, def leppard, ac/dc, and, of course, the
missus...
which brings me to a question i'd like to throw out to you all...are there any
contemporary "guilty pleasures" in your library? i ask because i happen to
own the maxi-single of ms. twain's current megasmash, "you're still the
one"...the melody's got some nice hooks and the 12" remix is surprisingly more
interesting than your average ballad-retooled-for-the dance-floor...there's
also a few other recent top 40 singles i own, and ...gulp...i've also got all
3 hanson albums (yes, even the christmas one, which i feel is their best
yet)...yet, i still have room for slowdive, low, air, massive attack,
etc...and yes, i do listen to those acts (and others of their ilk) more on the
average...but i still have a weakness for a catchy pop tune, even if it's
virtually tattooed on the commercial airwaves these days (i draw the line at
natalie imbrouhaha)...
so am i alone here? anyone else have anything in their cd library that would
seemingly go against the grain of the "typical" slowdive fan?
no profanity, please...
thanx,
jeff

Being a new FSA fan myself, I actually only have one album, so I'm
hardly one to make a recommendation. Having said that, I highly
recommend their first album (this being the one i have). It's self
titled and has VHF#11, the cover is just a setting sun. Brilliant album
and will most likely lead to more FSA purchases in the future...

Can your CD-R drive create discs in Disc-at-Once
mode, so that live recordings will be seamless
and without the 2 second pauses between songs?
I've got a cool MBV live bootleg CD you might
like... It's a soundboard quality recording
of MBV in Vancouver, July '92.... E-mail
if interested...

Subject: Speaking of Texas
How many people on the list live in Texas? I live in historic
Bryan/College Station. We should have a get-together where people on the
list in Texas can meet each other. Maybe in Austin? What do you think?
If you're interested, e-mail me privately at DaveBrett@email.msn.com
We tried something like that on the Cocteau Twins mailing list, and it
went very well. We had a big ole' shoegazzin' hoedown! Yee Hah!
