Fuck you, vinyl is cool but CD's are better.  How do you know that I don't

Subject: Re; 1st Shag....

	Well, I was surprised to see it listed in the CDnow catalogue, 
too so I bought it and a week later it was delivered to my house and it's 
just the new album, which I already had.  I think what must have happened 
was that the stupid high-schoolers who work at the big factory were 
probably scanning new shit into the databanks and part of their demanding 
and challenging job description has them type in the "title" of the CD 
and since the new one is eponymously titled, some dork called it "The 
Charlatans (First Shag...) because minions could care less about the 
truth of anything in today's society, shit, he was probably listening to 
silverchair on his new, big bass, big padded headphones and thinking he 
was down with the dope shit...
	I've had this problem before with CDnow:  waiting ages for a live 
in Toyko Stone Roses only to be told THREE MONTHS LATER that it had been 
out of print for a year or so.  There's also a listing for an item called 
"Charlatans + 2"  which I bet is the "Can't get out of bed" b/w "Out" and 
"Withdrawn".  I tried to email the manager@cdnow.com and ask him but he 
said that their goods come from four different warehouses and they're 
constantly trying to update and can't access "esoteric" info like that.  
Sounds like walking into any Tower records...

Going to see Blur tonight here in Seattle at Club MOE.  Unfortunately the 
Rentals are opening.  Why do they do this to us?...

What is going on around here? I come back from break and everyone
is jumping down everyone else's throat.  I experienced this on another
list and it just got worse and worse.  The fact of the matter is everyone
here likes the Charlatans and while some of us may be more  diehard
brit fans than others we'll just have to deal with those that aren't.  In
any case
if someone has a problem with someone else on the list can you take care of it
through personal email or just try to be civil about it?

People think that on the Internet, it's okay to go around being uncivil, 
rude, mean, nasty, etc. to whoever they feel like, whenever they feel 
like.  It's disgusting and wrong, but if it's so necessary then yes, it 
should be done through private e-mail.

The Internet can be a very hostile place, sadly.

Sorry about that, I thought that I had replied personally and not to the
entire list.  Bad form on my part, I know everyone else had no need to see
that and I apologize.  This whole thing started out as a simple question
about a CD on the WWW at CDNow (http://cdnow.com).  I just wanted to know if
anyone had ever heard of the CD "First Shag", which I assume is by the
Charlatans UK because it is on Beggar's Banquet.  I've never seen or heard
about it on any of the Charlie's discographies that I've seen.  Anyways,
things got a bit out of control and I'm sorry, hopefully the whole mailing
list will forget about this and get back to the Charlies!

you know those big 12" black shiny  things record shops are named after
well people used to scratch written messages on the lead out track on the
vinyl next to the label in the middle. So if you look on the unused bit
after the last song on each side there being four you will read the code
number of the record thus telling you whether the record is an original
pressing or a rerelease as with the stone roses first four singles. now
appearing in shops being sold as originals. Anyway the charlatans tha
charlatans album say "first shag in ages" does this make any sense to
anyone or what?

Just about. I take it that you mean that the first vinyl pressings of "The 
Charlatans" have 'first shag in ages' written between the leadout groove.

	Anyone ever notice how the B-side "Your Skies Are Mine" from the 
"Just When You're..." single is a stab in jest at the Stone Rose's "Your 
Star will Shine"?  Very similar in structure.  And then there's "Frinck", 
which reminds me of what the Beastie Boys could do if they had a B-3 or a 
Wurlitzer.

ps.	Why didn't they just call it "First Fuck"?  Duh..............

I haven't heard the song, but it would seem strange for the Charlatans to 
poke fun at the Stone Roses, since Tim's favorite band is the Stone Roses 
(or at least he said so in an interview).  Then again, I guess you can 
poke fun at your friends.

Straight from the horse's mouth.  Actually, it caused a rather funny 
situation.  When they appeared on MuchMusic in October, Tim was 
asked if there was a certain video that he wanted to see (before 
the show)...he immediatly answered "anything by Black Sabbath".

Because they were appearing on "The Wedge", which is MuchMusic's 
daily "alternative" (whatever the hell that is) show, they wouldn't play 
it for the poor guy.  :-(

I've also noticed it mentioned in the odd interview.

Colin,

You're probably new to mailing lists but, please, stop sending one 
sentence, or one word, messages to the list.

1) When you just say "no" with nothing quoted, nobody has any idea 
what you're talking about.

2) We really don't care.  If you're going to send a message to 100 
people, make sure it has a point...if you just want to say "I agree" or 
something like that, then send it PRIVATELY to the individual who sent 
the first message, not the rest of us.

Yes, well, I read in the interview that was featured in Addicted to Noise 
(I think it was around October) that it's the Stone Roses.  Tim said it.  
But heck, the next month it could have been Black Sabbath, no problem!  

What, is liking the Stone Roses as your favorite band bad?  I 
particularly thought it took guts to say that, because hardly any band 
these days would have the honesty to admit that one of their 
contemporaries (oh my gosh!) was their favorite!  There's way too much 
competition and mud-slinging, especially with Oasis and Blur and all 
that.  No good.

Subject: Charlies on the Roses

Check out the NME and MM reviews of the Roses performance at the Fiele Fest
in August, and the reviews of the Roses' Sheffield and Wembley gigs.
Therein, one or more of the reviews or accompanying articles (in between the
times where the reviewers are conveying how hip _they_ are), reference is
made to the appearance of Tim and other Charlies backstage or in a bar with
the Roses.  Long and short of it - Charlies and Roses have long been mutual
admirers, with the Charlies more overt about it.  So, for Tim to say that
the Roses were/are his tops is no stretch, but likely the case.  However,
recent articles (last 6 months) have shown Tim taking the keen interest in
Sly and other artists of a more, traditional and classic flavor.

Cheers, Chris

No...the Stone Roses released one of the greatest albums ever; Tim 
has very good taste indeed!

I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned Ride in this discussion...Tim & 
Rob have always been Ride fans and the two groups have toured 
Europe together.  They are good friends with Andy Bell, as well.

The rest of the band is going to reform under a new name.
The final Ride album, "Tarantula" will be released next month.

Ride has called it quits, in Gardner's words, because he wanted to go 
forward, i.e., progress their sound, and Mr. Bell wanted to harken back 
to that late 60's early 70's sound and they just couldn't mesh.
The new single off the album will be released by Creation on the 12th of 
this month with the "Tarantula" LP being released sometime mid march.  
Supposedly, Ride were picked up by Elektra stateside but since they are 
no longer an outfit and thus cannot tour, Elektra will probably not 
release the LP stateside (so I'm free) so we'll have to pay import price 
for it.  Mark Gardner's new band is called "Exile" and will be, in his 
own words, "kind of a Chemmical Brother's thang with lots of driving 
guitars (a far cry from that decades ago sound that Bell wants to do.)

ARE THE CHARLATANS THE ONLY BAND LEFT THAT KEEP PROGRESSING, KEEP THEIR 
FRIENDSHIPS STRONG, AND KEEP PUTTING OUT GREAT MUSIC?  IS THIS INDEAD THE 
SIGN OF A TRULY GREAT BAND IN THE MAKING?

Uhhh, are you talking about all bands or just the very small 
sub-sub-group of rock 'n roll that the Charlatans are part of?  I agree 
that they are a great band, but there's sooooo much music happening 
outside England and even rock 'n roll!

If we're talking about related sorts of bands, I'd say that the Stone 
Roses are getting their act together and seem committed to being a 
regular band again, i.e. one that releases records and tours and such!!

I'd have to agree here.  Maybe the Charlatans have not achieved the
typical success that bands like Oasis are getting now (which kind of makes
me sick) but I think the fact that they havent achieved high profile success
and they are still around and not slagging each other and other bands is
the mark of a truly great band. (excuse the run on sentence)
Just my 2 cents.

Subject: critical acclaim

I think it's very interesting that the charlatans have received so much 
critical acclaim in America, and relatively little commercial success; 
Whereas in Britain, it seems that their albums get mixed reviews but 
generally do better commercially.
I think even 10th and 11th got good reviews in America (personally it's 
my favorite)--
Anyway, it seems like the charlatans are (in America) one of those cases 
where the critics are onto something by recognizing the charlatans as a 
developing, improving, up and coming band, and the public has nowhere 
near caught on.

By the way, I don't know whether anyone else has posted any of this, but 
at the risk of redundancy, the charlatans have done pretty well in some 
British magazines' BEST OF 1995 lists:

Q magazine: (feb 1996):
one of the best 50 albums of 1995
"...within this impeccably presented collection lurked songs of sheer 
quality...and a distinct air of freshly discovered confidence."

Another magazine, (select perhaps?) had 'just when you're thinkin'...' 
listed as one of the best singles of the year.
cheers!

Of course I would but I was specifically talking about US success. But even
in the UK they don't get the coverage that blur and oasis do.  i personally
dont think that measures a band's success...i'm just stating obvious facts.
The charlatans are phenomenal no matter what standards you judge them by.
I wasn't trying to downplay them at all...dont be so quick to jump all over me.

Got all those plus BOTH of the "Then" (1 w/ demos & 1 w/ live cuts) and BOTH
"Jesus Hairdo" (1 w/ remixes & 1 w/ live cuts) singles.

I am a STONE ROSES freak, and I'm a hardcore OASIS collector.  I want to

Subject: Salt tour of the US

Sorry about the non-Charlatans content, but I wouldn't want you to miss the
Swedish group Salt's US tour (right now). If you can, go and see them!

Their sound is best described by their label (MVG/Island):
"From the moment the dissonant album-opening improvisation fades into the
 wiry carnality of "Honour Me", it's evident that Salt aren't likely to
 conform to easily-delineated, alterna-rock standards. Salt's spartan
 playing informs songs like "Beauty" with a compelling astringency, while
 Nina's commanding vocal presence mandates undivided attention."

Tour schedule:

February

 M  12 San Jose, CA        Cactus Club
 T  13 SF, CA              Bottom Of The Hill

There has been some quit times now, but that's because it's become quiet 
around The Charlatans for a while. If you're wondering what the band are up to 
now, I just read about it in the latest issue of 109. It will also be in my 
BRW homepage, which is being renewed at the moment! The Charlatans are writing 
and rehearsing in Stone Staffordshire and are planning to start recording 
their 5th album whithin the next few months. No live dates have been 
confirmed, but there has been talk of some dates.

Unfortunately, because I admittedly don't read music mags very often, you
won't find any Charlatans news on it.  But I have put up a lyrics page and

they were just here.  remember the between 10th and 11th tour they came

I saw it.  I had never seen the Chemical Brothers before - the lead

Yeah...I wonder where we've seen him before...  :-)

Anyway, has anyone heard of the next North American release for the 
charlies?  "Just Lookin" actually did okay in Canada...it was on the 
CFNY Top 30 for awhile and received occasional video play on Much.

I think JWYTTO would be an excellent single...what's the video like?  
Anyway, it makes for a great bar song.

A friend of mine was involved in a bomb alert at Archway tube station on 
Wednesday, as the platform was evacuated he bumped into Mr Burgess and 
they had a quick chat. Right now the band are just demoing stuff and 
writing, they might start recording after Easter.

I got the landlord at my local pub to put on 'The Charlatans' on Friday. 
I swear it's never sounded cooler. An album to live your life ( and drink 
) to for sure. I was psyched up for the rest of the night after hearing that.

It's really cool, actually. It's (I think) done in the stlye of that 70s 
movie "Performance" that starred Mick Jagger. Fitted the song quite well.

Merrilee,

        Well, if the Charlatans come back to North America, I'm definitely
going to see them again.  The last time they played here in Montreal (last
October), they played a relatively short show and followed with only one
encore.  A couple of my friends managed to track down Tim Burgess for a few
seconds, and he said he was sorry the show was so short, but the band had
to be in Buffalo early the next day.

        So... if the Charlatans DO come back to North America anytime soon,
I'll be the last to complain!  :-)

No, no, no.
I meant as a North American release (to radio & television).
JWYTTO was released in the UK on August 8, I believe.

It was a single in the UK, but I can't remember how well it did, or

I thought it WAS the next or latest single, because I bought it back in 95.
