I don't know if they all eventually skip because I can't find one.
Dammit! Do you have some unlimited secret source?

Subject: Lilys/thanks
My Lilys cd doesn't skip and I can see them from time to time in used cd
stores. If someone needs me to look around, then I'll try. Also, thanks to
everyone on the list for bearing with me this first week. I appreciate the
advice given and hope I didn't come across as an ass and I hope I didn't
insult or cross anyone. This is a great list and I still hope we can
produce a Slowdive true compilation. Thanks, Later.

Yeah, i've got their album on vinyl (i'm not sure if it's out on cd yet)
it's called "All about satellites and spaceships" or something like that
(it's not here with me). It's a really great disk and i'd recommend it.
Very slowdivey. I got it at an underground store hear in Atlanta Georgia,
USA for eleven bucks.

it has nothing to do with the singing. it has to do with i can't STAND
wishy-washy synth pad diva-crooning dophin noise downtempo atmospheric drum
and bass anymore. it was nice at first but it had the shortest half-life of
any jungle subgenre. in life as in techno, those that last are constantly
innovating, mutating.
anyway, goldie imo (void everywhere) is a *great* drum programmer and has
written classics in the past, but inner city life nonwithstanding, he now
uses divas as a crutch tool in his music. (so does diva house with
vocalists not half as good as the ones goldie employs but i have an
entirely different beef with that tired music.) jungle voodoo ray, now
*that* would be interesting.

Maybe this is so as not to interfere with sales of the
Rykodisc Slowdive release.

thats ok from what i hear neil halstead is a big fan of jungle/drum and bass
and was a pink floyd fan (and they used divas on dark side)
in the latest issue of alternative press Ryan Lum of LOVE SPIRALS DOWNWARDS
was asked a serious of questions. In the one asking him which artist he
wouid most like to see nude he said RACHEL GOSWELL and HOPE SANDOVAL. and
on the one asking which reunion he would like to see most he said SLOWDIVE
and JEFFERSON AIRPLANE!!!!!
For those of you have yet to experience LOVE SPIRALS DWONWARDS you are
missing a lot. check out:

Yup - answer to both questions! Blowback is pretty good, but I'd say the
'Hush' EP is totally where it's at - by far! I *really* got into it just
recently. Get it if you can find it! Also check out Busy Going Crazy, if
you don't know about them already. It's Swallow's guitarist doing dancey
type stuff, which is totally great - they have 2 EPs and a full length CD
which combines the EPs plus adds two tracks - I'm still looking for that
one for those two tracks - anyone have it or know where to score it??
