Subject: Very, very, very sorry!!!

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.

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...

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.

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?

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.

And Stereolab are bad Neu and Martin Denny ripoffs with zero

that sort of thing. Even Gane admits he's not original..............so can the

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:

Laters.

P.S. I hope my service is cutting into David Stack's profits!

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?

So, I'm screwed.

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.

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.

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

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!!

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.

Any Lily's fans on this list?  I'm wondering if "better can't make your

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...

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!!

Hi again everyone->

	Okay, I promise this is the last auction! This one's a bit

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...

Enjoy!
