Dan-

If you haven't managed to sell them yet:

Slowdive-s/t 12" -- $15.50
Slowdive-Morningrise 12" --$9.50
Slowdive-Catch the Breeze/Shine ltd. edition and numbered 7" -- $5.50

None of those prices include shipping, but again - please e-mail if
interested...

Super interested in these. If they're available, email with a total
including shipping (and conditions, too please).

Lazy me will have to check out the page for more stuff.... Separate
order, though.

Cool... thanks!

I am interested in purchasing some of the slowdive stuff... Are those
prices quoted in American dollars?  What will it cost for a Canadian?  I
can't do the math....

Jock Sturgess is a great photographer who was accused of child pornography for

Subject: slowdive ep's

I happily found Slowdive's "Holding Our Breath" 12" from a used recored
store, so you can stop looking for it... Thanks for the effort!

I suppose you can't find 5 ep. any cheaper than 20$ so I think I'll be
happy just with the Slowdive ep. So, what do I owe you and to what address
should I send the money to?

Regards,
Peter

I'm sorry that I've sent a few personal emails of mine to the list...
When replying to mails by persons from this list, I always forget
that the reply-to-address is directed here.

Some Slowdive content: Any news about the Slowbox? I know
many of you have mailed the people suggested of releasing it
(what was it... ryko? i'd never heard about it before, have they
released something else that is as interesting as the rumored
Slowdive collection?) so have you got any replys?

Regards,
Peter

 I meant to send this to the Slowdive list as this was where the 
 topic sprang up, but mistakenly sent it to the MBV list:

 Subject: [mbv] skipping Lilys CDs

 Well, after 3+ years of owning this CD and never having any problems,
 my copy of In the Presence of Nothing started skipping when I played
 it last night. The CD itself is scratch-free and clean, yet starts to
 skip when it goes into Tone Bender. By the time track 8 starts,
 the cd player throws a fit trying to read the CD and stops. 

 My only guess is the CDs were bad pressings and hence are starting to
 degrade. My tip to anyone is to back up to cd-r before your copy starts
 to rot. Screw you, SpinArt! 

 Are there any other notorious CDs that start to skip over time?

 I think you are right - I have had 4 customers in the past two weeks that
 just ordered this CD and said they couldn't play the last two tracks. I've
 seen a few others mention it on this list also, I think. One customer of
 mine said his skipped from the very first note of the CD. So I guess it is
 a bad pressing....hmmm....good thing I got my copy on vinyl for backup! :)
       Beware, I guess. I still have about 10-15 copies of this left, but
 I'll have to start going through every one to see if they're all
 defective...

Subject: Re: [mbv] skipping Lilys CDs (fwd)

well, i'm glad i'm not the only one who has defective liliys cd's. then
again, i wish i had a playable copy since it is a great album.  on a
slowdive note, i picked up the in mind remixes (finally) and am a bit
disappointed. the second remix is ok but the first one sucks. the original
in mind is far superior.  but the same day i picked up Paul D. Miller's
"Viral Sonata" (a.k.a. DJ Spooky) and am convinced that he samples In Mind
on "Invisual Ocean" (track 5). this association might have been caused by
the fact that i listened to them right away, but a part of the song really
does sound like the part of in mind where Rachel's voice goes slowly up
and then down to an echoing linger. anyway, "Invisual Ocean" is what I
expected the In Mind Remixes to be like and not a techno drum machine
ruining the ambience of 5ep. People should check out DJ Spooky/Paul D.
Miller  on Asphodel. He fucks everything up, delay, phlanges,
time-strectches, samples of a radiotelescope recordings of Jupiter's
magnetosphere, etc. Viral Sonata is much more ambient whereas "Songs of A
Dead Dreamer" has more beats like DJ Shadow, but still a lot of cool
sounds. He is very much into manipulating sound in order to create cozy
aural blanks to lie under. The subtitle for Viral Sonata is "An Inventory
of Effects". Well, does anyone else think he actually samples Slowdive or
is it just a similarity of sound in that one part?  (it wouldn't surprise
me, since I think I've heard that he's about to do some sort of
collaboration with Kevin Shields and thus must have some understanding of
this type of music)

well, i saw him open up for stereolab once, and i swear he was sampling
flying saucer attack, so he must not be totally unfamiliar to the scene.
plus there's the fact that stars of the lid are pretty popular among the nyc
illbient djs.

Subject: Re: ambient for slowdive fans

Aloha avalynland,

someone recently mentioned DJ spooky's new album as a
good choice, but can anyone recommend other ambient
albums/groups that slowdive fans would like? (yes I
know about Seefeel)

I find most ambient to be too conceptual and
emotionally sterile. I always wished Halstead did
more stuff like 'Good Day Sunshine' and 'missing
you'...
