Here's information about a book I've just had published, with pieces on
artists that might be of interest to drone on subscribers--Richie
Unterberger
"Unknown Legends of Rock'n'Roll," written by Richie Unterberger, has just
been published by Miller Freeman Books. This 422-page book ($19.95) has
in-depth profiles of sixty of the most interesting overlooked cult rock
artists of all time, in all cases including first-hand interview material
with the artists themselves and/or their close associates. The book also
includes a 12-song, 45-minute CD with rare tracks by a dozen of the acts
covered in the volume. The text is accompanied by 90 photos and reviews of
the most essential recordings by each artist.
Featured in the book are chapters on:
Syd Barrett*Nick Drake*Roky Erickson*Lee Hazlewood*Love*Joe Meek*Skip
Spence*Scott Walker*The Collins Kids*Ronnie Dawson*Wanda Jackson*Graham
Bond*The Creation*John's Children*Duffy Power*The Chocolate Watch Band*The

Advance praise for "Unknown Legends of Rock'n'Roll":
"'Unknown Legends of Rock'n'Roll' made me pull out albums that I hadn't
thought of in ages, and made me want to add a whole bunch more to my record
shelves. Too many rock books stress their subjects' idiosyncrasies and
malfunctions to such an extent that you wonder how they ever made a record.
Richie Unterberger always keeps the artists' work in the forefront." -- Ira
Kaplan, singer/guitarist, Yo La Tengo
"I learned quite a bit about bands of which I was a fanatic and even more
about others which I had never heard before. Richie Unterberger has done
his best to demonstrate that the best and most anachronistic music often
outlives the most trendy or commercial. Great book...It made for two great
days of van reading and travel denial." --Steve Wynn, singer/guitarist,
Dream Syndicate
"Chances are, unless you are a hardcore rock aficionado, you've never heard
of most of the 'unknown legends' that make up the cast of Richie
Unterberger's characters...And yet, for seekers with a taste for the
mongrel, each performer in this rogue's gallery is intuitively connected to
the instinct for art which helps define our humane sociopathy, beyond the
commerce and formats and definitions with which we design our musical
personalities. They'll renew your faith in the idiosyncratic as a way of
life, performance as psychodrama, career as parable, the unbeaten path to
the doorway and the knock that never comes. Until that day when they wake
up and find they've become legend." -- from the foreword by Lenny Kaye,
guitarist from the Patti Smith Group; producer for Soul Asylum, Kristin
Hersh, Suzanne Vega
On the accompanying CD: tracks by John's Children, the Music Machine, the
Rising Storm, the Deviants, Savage Rose, Penelope Houston, Aisha Kandisha,
the Cleaners From Venus, Merrell Fankhauser & Fapardokly, the Outsiders,
the Mystic Tide, and Savage Republic.
For additional information regarding "Unknown Legends of Rock'n'Roll," or

Subject: Cardigans box set -- help requested!
Hi-
I need someone's assistance. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about
the Cardigans Singles Box Vol 1 -- the one with their 5 singles from their
first two albums. The entire box only costs $34 USD. And I've talked to a
Danish guy who tells me he's seen it even *cheaper*: he said he'd seen it
for both 189 and 199 SEK. I can't see how this is possible, cosidering how
expensive CD's are in Sweden. So, having never seen the box, I wonder
about the quality. Are the covers to the CD's the original covers, or some
generic (read: cheap) design? Is the package nice, or shoddy? Opinions??
I really want to hear those singles, and buying this box seems like a
quick, inespensive way to do so, but I wanted to get an idea of what I'd
be getting. Is it worth it to stick it out and try to find the original
singles? Let me know what you think...tack!

Subject: Re: Cardigans box set -- help requested!
Indeed, I picked up the box for 179 SEK in Umea, thanks to the fact that
the shop gave a 10% student discount for that ISIC card I was carrying.
The singles all appear to be the originals to me (but would I know?),
except that the version of "Rise & Shine" included is the UK version -
which has the same artwork as the Scandinavian issue of "Hey! Get out of my
way" (also included in the box). Which seems pretty lame, if you ask me.
As far as the box itself goes, it's nothing particularly attractive: white
corrugated cardboard with blue/green (I can't tell in this light) text. Of
course, I've seen the boxes (there's a vol. 2 as you probably know) going
for $40 or so in Berkeley, so $34 isn't the worst.
As to the music, well, I haven't played it more than a few times...I think
that I wanted it more a couple years ago...these things happen.

This isn't actually music related, but since there are quite a few
people on the list who are somehow experienced with computers more or less:
I've got this minor problem at work of having to convert .tif pictures
to.cgm format (that is, from bitmap to vector-based); would anyone have
any experience/knowledge about such conversion procedure? Any software
or other hints? Does anyone have experience of using programs such as
Imagination Engineer (Intergraph) or Designer 7.0 for this?
This is, believe it or not, kinda important for me; apologies for

Subject: Depeche Mode in Tartu
Sorry for the non-indie content, but as there was interest in the event
I'll give some further information...
The concert takes place on September 2nd starting 20.00 at the Tartu
singing grounds. Tickets are on sale and cost 390 Estonian kroons ($27 US),
the price is expected to rise to 450 kroons ($31 US) in August. A limited
amount of 14 000 tickets will be sold. There is no possibility of booking
tickets. The concert will be followed by events in Riga, St. Peterburg and
Moscow, unfortunately I don't have any information on the dates.
Mail me if you have any questions, perhaps I can help...

The story of bands that cancel their appearances at Swedish festivals
continues. I just heard from a friend of mine that the eminent Scottish

reason.

I read about this on the "Benno topics" page several days ago and, since

that it is true:
STARMARKET have left the record company Dolores. It happened just a couple
of weeks ago. Obviously Dolores interfered and tried to tell the band how
the next album should sound. The company wanted "hits", according to the
band. And since STARMARKET were not very interested in doing "hits" they
jumped off the train. It is not clear when, and on which label, the next
STARMARKET album will be released. Actually it is not even certain *if*
there will be a next STARMARKET album. But I know that they have written a
lot of new tunes and I think (and hope) that they will be able to work
something out.
Of course I cannot be completely certain that this story is all true. But
it is, at least, the band's own version of what happened.

OK, I think this was due to happen any day. I can remember visiting the
Dolores office here in Gothenburg the day that Isse (the boss) received a
tape with the new Starmarket demo. A demo he said the band were so completely
unhappy with that they didn't even want to give it to Isse. They all thought
it was way too soft, wimpy and poppy.I had a listen to it and to me it
sounded just marvellous and I know Isse thought so to. On the tape were three
brilliant poptunes, not at all cheeky or happy, rather a bit melancholic and
really wonderful. Everyone who heard the tape that day really thought it was
the best they ever heard from the band an I sure agree.
But, since the band themselves obviously don't want to sound like this, they
had a hard time coping with the fact that the record-company found it great.
A pretty sad story and I'm not taking sides. In fact, I understand both
sides. Just hope that something good somes out of this for Starmarket.
