Hi everyone, Please accept my deepest apology about sending that crap to the entire list. I was trying to send a message to the dipshit who sent it, but ended up making a bigger dipshit out of myself. So once again, please accept my apology, and feel free to flame me if you want. -Mitch ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 Mar 1998 20:45:08 -0600 From: Agent Cooper Subject: Let's give Mitch a round of appluase! The only thing worse than SPAM is when SPAM begets SPAM. Mitch, for the love of God, turn off your auto-quote. If you don't want to read that SPAM then why did you re-post it to the list TWICE? It's things like this that cause me to think twice about the fate of humanity... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Mar 1998 21:03:26 -0600 From: David Poppie Subject: Helping children Concerning the "threat" by the caring individual writing about the child with liver problem. It is terrible for the child. I would rather give $5 cash to it than gain him .07 to have my name sold to 15 million mailing lists. Why not ask for straight contributions instead of going through e-mail b.s. Send me an address and I'll contribute. David ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Mar 1998 12:11:53 -0600 From: Andrew Freeman Subject: mojave 3 in austin i'm thinking about going to this show. Anybody know how much tickets are? I've been getting into the mojave 3 cd. I guess it grows on you a lot. Anybody else going to the austin show? Will there be any other texas shows? Andrew ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Mar 1998 14:47:37 -0800 From: "willfred" Subject: AIR - Moon Safari I know this is off-list and old news, but I think Air's Moon Safari would definitely appeal to some of the people on this list. Whispy female vocals combined with spaceloungehop. A more spacious Tipsy perhaps? Anyway, it's great, so get it. bill2 n.p......Air - Moon Safari (duh+ACE-) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Mar 1998 18:19:58 EST From: Catchbreez Subject: Re: mojave 3 in austin NOT SURE you may need to get a $60 wrist band ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Mar 1998 18:23:22 EST From: Rephlex00 Subject: Re: AIR - Moon Safari AIR are tacky cheep comercial stereolab ripoffs with none of the origianality or talent, sorry! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Mar 1998 18:34:20 -0800 From: "willfred" Subject: Re: AIR - Moon Safari And Stereolab are bad Neu and Martin Denny ripoffs with zero class............Tim Gane is just as tacky.............or talented, if you like that sort of thing. Even Gane admits he's not original..............so can the snottiness. bill2 ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 08 Mar 1998 23:32:12 -0600 From: Agent Cooper Subject: *Avalyn2.MP3 now ready for download* Avalyn 2, the object of desire of all you Blueday owners, is now up at my alternate site. However, when I first tried the link to d/l it, the server treated it like an HTML page and displayed a page of alphanumerics. The way I bypassed that (using my Macintosh and Netscape) was by holding down the OPTION key while clicking. This downloads it as a "text" file, but it still plays just fine. Anyway, here's the URL: http://www.fringeware.com/anathema/cooper/slowdive.html Next Sunday I will be removing Avalyn 2 and posting Moussaka Chaos, MAYBE at the REGULAR site, but I'm not sure because I haven't made it an MP3 yet... In the meantime, So Tired is still at my regular site: http://www.flash.net/~agentc/slowdive.html Laters. P.S. I hope my service is cutting into David Stack's profits! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 09 Mar 1998 18:00:15 -0500 From: Andy McMillan Subject: MP 3 postings Just wanted to publicly thank Agent Cooper again for posting those B-sides on his site. So what's the latest on the idea to collect the unreleased live songs (bleed, silver screen, etc.) on a list CD? Can anybody else just make MP3s and post them like Cooper? looking a gift horse in the mouth, Andy ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Mar 1998 03:22:40 -0800 From: "Tim Warner" Subject: Re: MP 3 postings I'm praying for that list cd. My computer can't run MP3s, unfortunately. So, I'm screwed. Bummed, Tim ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Mar 1998 00:58:35 +0100 From: Erik Soderstrom Subject: Re: MP 3 postings >> So what's the latest on the idea to collect the >> unreleased live songs (bleed, silver screen, etc.) on a list CD?

I spoke to Rachel before the weekend and she promised she'd be back with their thoughts on this - as well as the Ryko thing - this week. I'll post the info as soon as I get it. //Erik ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Mar 1998 09:21:45 +0000 From: "wade@tapehouse.com" Subject: Re: MP 3 postings I'm totally for the list cd as well, I can't do the MP3 thing either. I will happily submit my versions of bleed, silver screen, joy and song 1 to the list cd. wade ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Mar 1998 17:01:42 EST From: Rephlex00 Subject: Re: MP 3 postings GET AN MP3 PLAYER HERE you can get an mp3 player for nothing, its called winamp and you can download it from the web at "http://winamp.lh.net/getit.html" BUT, USE THIS SITE, cos it has LOADS of other stuff too, encoders, winamp and oodles of other mp3 and computer audio stuff ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 16:17:52 +0200 From: Siim Kalder Subject: Re: MP 3 postings GET AN MP3 PLAYER HERE At 17:01 10.03.98 EST, you wrote: >you can get an mp3 player for nothing, its called winamp and you can download >it from the web at "http://winamp.lh.net/getit.html" > >BUT, USE THIS SITE, cos it has LOADS of other stuff too, encoders, winamp and >oodles of other mp3 and computer audio stuff Well, I agree on the need for a Slowdive rarities compilation, and am happy to download any mp3s that are on the net, but I don't get the fuss over this file format - it's still packing audio files with losses to the sound quality and if the loss is indeed unnoticeable, it's because of the poor (read: not perfect) quality of the sound card of your/my computer. And as far as playing mp3s goes, my computer can't do it either, and not because I don't have an mp3 player, but the processor simply does not have enough speed. And for listening in any portable device, I would still have to make a normal CD of the music. My point is, that I hope that whoever is willing and able to get the comp. thing going, will at least try to think of a way to send the stuff round the world in a normal CD format, if possible. Greetings, Siim ___________ siimk@ut.ee ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 17:11:37 EST From: Rephlex00 Subject: Re: MP 3 postings GET AN MP3 PLAYER HERE i dont agree, if you do it properly, then an mp3 shouldnt mean any REAL loss of quality, maybe 5 / 6%. what proccesor has your comp got? with the ready availability of the cd writer you can write it to cds, but what is wrong with the good old cassete recorder and a walkman, MPŁ is a major breakthrough, you try to send some 1 a 10 minuite song as a wav file of the same quality and youl see what i mean, wavs are JUST TOO BIG!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 17:15:44 EST From: Rephlex00 Subject: MP3 site adress http://www.chez.com/netwhere/Mp3/Master_MP3.htm sorry about that every one, but i just realised i forgot to put the adress for the best site ooops, this site has everything u could ever need ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Mar 1998 21:34:36 -0600 From: Agent Cooper Subject: Avalyn2.MP3 to stay another week... Well, since not enough mail was sent to the list to make a digest, I'll be keeping Avalyn 2 up on my site for an additional week. Hopefully the digest will be sent soon, so I can be sure that everyone has seen my post about the MP3 being up. Sheesh. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Mar 1998 15:41:07 -0600 (CST) From: "..." <1cc5776@unixstew.tstc.edu> Subject: Lily's... Any Lily's fans on this list? I'm wondering if "better can't make your life better" is hard to come by. is it a rare find? I found a copy and would be willing to auction if it's really worth anything, otherwise a great album that I'm lucky to have an extra copy of... cory 1cc5776@unixstew.tstc.edu ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Mar 1998 17:26:46 +0100 From: Kevin Wood Subject: Bay Area party/concert tomorrow night!!! ok kids here is the scoop.... There is a party going on tomorrow evening(3/14) in Oakland, CA.... ...and you are all invited! My bandSolarium will be playing an extended set out in the garden. So if you are into noisey/spacey/blissed-out guitar-scapes come check us out. There will also be a DJ inside, so feel free to bust out any "gummo"-style dance moves you like.... From the Bay Bridge take 880 South and exit at the 23rd Ave. exit. Take a left turn at the first light you come to, go one block to the next light and take another left, continue to the next light and take one more left. This will put you on 12th St. Go down a few blocks and make a right on 18th Ave. Our address is 1227 18th Ave, which is half way down this block on your left, just before the big yellow building on the corner (sorta like CNET - you'll feel right at home!). We're going to have a small keg, but if you'd like something else, bring it along. The festivities start around 8-9ish.... Hope some of you can make it!! Kevin Wood ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Mar 1998 21:03:54 EST From: Catchbreez Subject: Re: Lily's... it is readily available at least via my wholesaler at work what is rare are the slowdive us albums i can get the imports fine morningrise fairly easy in mind fairly easy catch the breez 7" getting harder and the holding our breath is getting harder steve ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 14 Mar 1998 19:48:15 -0500 (EST) From: Claire De Leon! Subject: Still one more auction... Hi again everyone-> Okay, I promise this is the last auction! This one's a bit smaller, but still has tons of great stuff. Most of it is my girlfriend's stuff, to help her out since she's running low on cash over in Holland! So take a look - there's some gooooood stuff! Lotsa Sarah Recs., some shoegazey stuff from MBV, Slowdive, etc. Auction ends one week from today - next saturday!! So get on it... http://grove.ufl.edu/~eleven/auction3.html Enjoy!
