Well, here's the news: 1. The mailing list works. 2. Verve is back together again - and it brings happy tears to my eyes.

Greetings, I've hardly seen any visuals of Slowdive outside the Souvlaki/Pygmalion/ask me tommorow album covers, and just wanted to know who is who in Slowdive. With the photo on the cover of Souvlaki is it (from left to right) Neil, Christian, Nick, Simon and Rachel. It's quite obvious with pymalion as they are playing on stage at the time, but the faces are a bit obscured. Any help would be appreciated.

I've seen enough captioned photos of the band to know this, and I especially remember what Simon and Nick look like, having met them. Larry ------------------------------- Date: Sun, 16 Mar 1997 13:00:30 -0500 (EST) From: Maston@aol.com Subject: Mogwai's new album So, I managed to get ahold of a promo copy of Mogwai's new album (in stores in the US April 8) called Ten Rapid (on Jetset). I must say that I would highly recommend this. Comparisons to Slowdive seem a bit farfetched at points, at least on this release. However, what they do sound like is a reverby, dreamy Bedhead, with some Windy + Carl thrown in for good measure (on New paths to Helicon PT. 1 and End, particularly). If you get the chance, pick one up. Regards, Jason ----------------------------- Date: Fri, 21 Mar 1997 16:41:22 -0600 From: mps2@cec.wustl.edu (Michael Peter Stein) Subject: X-Files Does anyone out there know if the Dedicated sampler with Spiritualized's cover of the X-Files theme is out yet??

I'd offer $30. -Mike ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Mar 97 02:48:46 UT From: "Tom Geoghegan" Subject: Loveblind lyrics Can someone help me with the lyrics to Secret Shine's "Loveblind". I love the song so much, but can only make out fragments-"I never thought I'd find anyone to take your place", "even though I love you, always will too(?), but now ?" I end up superimposing my own situation in the words... Thanks. Tom ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Mar 1997 14:25:09 -0500 From: larry@interlog.com Subject: Re: (funny content)here's a little something i am sure you didn't know > Canada is an Indian word meaning "Big Village". Or just "the village" - it's not exactly clear. Something to do with bad interpreters > Dr. Seuss pronounced "Seuss" such that it rhymed with "rejoice." Yeah, but he didn't choose to for that reason. That's how it's pronounced in German. > Hershey's Kisses are called that because the machine that makes them > looks like it's kissing the conveyor belt. Other theories are that the machine makes a kissing noise or that 'kiss' was a word meaning 'a small quantity of something' around the turn of the century. > The longest recorded flight of a chicken is thirteen seconds What's the record for turkeys? And the thing about the kosher stamp glue - what's it made of? And what does non-kosher stamp glue contain? Is stamp glue in Muslim countries halal? Full of useless info?
