Subject: nowhere intro

I just wanted to announce how surprised I was when I rented the movie
Nowhere over the weekend and heard Avalyn II during the opening 
credits.  I thought Mojave 3 was just hidden somewhere in the movie, 
but to grab a slowdive b-side really made me appreciate the directors 
taste even more.  by the way.....GREAT FUCKIN MOVIE!(in an italian 
mobster kind of tone)  Not trying to offend any italians on the list. 
 :)  
Alright....that's it...

Anyone in the NYC area needing a good shoegazing fix this weekend 
should go to the Continental Saturday night.  My band Splinterworld 
is playing at 10:30.   If you love MBV/Slowdive/Ride, then you won't 
be disappointed!  

E-mail me for directions if needed, or if you want a tape with 2 
songs.

The release of the new and *limited* single 'Who Do You Love' was
moved to June 29th (sunday the 28th wasn't a very good day was
it? :)). It will be followed by yet another single - 'Some Kind Of Angel'
which has a release date set to August 17th. Then, in September
it is time for the big bang - their second album - 'Out of Tune'!

Gigs booked so far (more coming up):

  IS that a U.K. release date, or both U.S. and U.k. date?

These are all UK release dates. I have no information at all about
US dates (in fact, I receive no information from 4AD at all - 
they're unsuccessfully ignoring me - heaven knows why, but the
information gets through anyway - from the people who *do* receive
information from 4AD (anyone on this list?) and directly from Rachel).

Hi everyone

I'm a "newbie" to this list so I'll introduce myself. My name is Alister
and I'm from Australia. I've been lurking around for a while but decided to
join in and have some fun, too!!

Projekt bands:

>LSD kick Loveliescrushing's ass by the way,

Mmmmmm... I have recently started listening to both these bands and I tend
to think of them both in terms of being very similar to certain English
"cousins" that have been around for longer. I have to say that I much
prefer Loveliescrushing to LSD, anyday. I was totally blown away by the two
albums "Xuvetyn" and "Bloweyelashwish". It's like they picked up where
"Loveless" (MBV) left off. It's the kind of music I'd write if I was going
to make my own music. Has anyone noticed the remarkable similarity between
the front cover of "Loveless" and the picture on the inside sleeve of
"Xuvetyn" of the guitar scratchboard???? Funny, that... Yeah, and Love
Spirals Downwards, I think, owe a lot to the Cocteau Twins. "Idylls"
particularly. I haven't got "Ador" just yet (it's on it's way - Projekt
label bands, like most imports, are very much a hit-and-miss affair to
order from record shops here which amazes me because they're so readily
available in the States. But I'm not getting my copy through a record
shop... stuff that!!!). Yeah, I don't have "Ador" yet, so wouldn't have a
clue how it measures up.

>has anyone heard the kevin shields remix of coming up roses by curve???
>
>i'm curious to know whether it was just me or did everyone else think that
>he didn't do anything useful at all to the original song... it is pretty
>much the same song... ie: a crap remix...

So Kevin got his wish to work with Curve, did he???? Haven't heard this
yet. Will have to check it out soooooooon. I wonder if he'll get his wish
to work with the Jesus and Mary Chain??? Seeing as though they're back on
Creation, I wonder if Alan McGee will let him back in the studios,
considering his last little effort...

Subject: Cocteau Twins news???

Hi all,
I have an urgent question concerning the Cocteau Twins. There are
rumours that the band has split. I've been to the Cocteau Twins web
site, but there were no messages about it.
Does anyone knows something more???

Kurt

Subject: Cocteau Twins

Apparently they have split - and by all accounts it was a while back.  If 
you look on their Website (under the section where the band send you their 
latest news), Simon Raymonde goes into great length detailing the 
(apparent) demise of the band.

He says that they shelved the last album they were working on and that solo 
projects are now the way forward.

Talking of solo projects, I was lucky enough to get Simon Raymonde's debut 
album in London for 2 pounds a couple of days ago - and I thought it was 
bloody good.  Much better than I'd expected.

I also picked up Blind Mr Jones 'Eyes Wide EP' - class.  Very Slowdivey.

And that Bowery Electric remix album for one quid.  Ridiculous price.

Just thought I'd let everyone know how lucky I am.

Hey! below is a copy of Simon's announcement that CT had called it quits -
the original can still be found archived at the web-site
 :  in the "Pandora's Box" part of the "Forums" 
section ...

here is a copy of simon's message:

January 25, 1998
at this moment it would be foolish to deny that there is some uncertainty
as to the future of this group. The record we were making has been
abandoned, so there are no immediate plans for any releases. While it is
unlikely that these difficulties will be resolved, there is some hope that
this record, a record, from this period will surface at some point. The
label 'bella union' is flourishing, and there is no end to the differing
projects that the three of us will be involved in, resulting in hopefully
many more records than before.
Perhaps there is a feeling that this is a rather premature end to the
group, but i would rather leave it to others to commentate, commiserate,
analyse, and dissect the whys and wherefores. I have no intention of going
into the personal nature of these conflicts, but would like to say that all
three of us would be nowhere without the dedication and commitment that you
all show. Of course many of you will feel unsatisfied by much of what i
have said, but this is not rocket science. this group is a very emotive
force, and you must take into consideration how strongly we all feel about
this. there will be more cocteau twins records etc to come out over the
next few years.4AD are planning a compilation;Mercury probably aren't, but
well you never know! Robin and I both have some very exciting things on the
go; we are also talking about doing a
ecord together very soon; but for the moment i shall finish by saying that
perhaps one day things will settle down, enabling us to move forward, but
at this precise moment, you should understand that I am not in a position
to give any more information. thanks everyone.

This was posted on the Bel Canto list:

"For your information - if you didn`t know, Anneli (Drecker of Bel
Canto, an amazingly wonderful Norwegian band) is going to work with
ex-Cocteau Twins member, Simon Raymonde in a project. She is really
excited about it. Anneli and Tor Magnus (Bel Canto web site manager)
exchanged phone numbers backstage after Bel Cantos concert March 21st
at Rockefeller (b/c Simon contacted TM about contacting Anneli). You
should have seen Anneli's face when TM told her about Simon's
request...She's SO excited...As you all know Anneli is a big Cocteau
Twins fan."

_Nowhere_, I believe, was done by the same guy who did "The Doom
Generation" in which one can hear both ALLISON and BLUE SKIED AN' CLEAR
...
I'm still waiting to see Nowhere, myself ...
I should mention that Doom Generation, while it, obviously, has some good
music in, is sorta whack ...  I wouldn't recommend it to the easily

I saw Doom Gen. also, and Nowhere is a lot better.  It's still has 
some cheeky dialogue, crazy imagery, but it's a better rounded movie.

i finally saw _nowhere_ last week, and your description of TDG fits araki's
newer film as well. great soundtrack, interesting vision of the future, but
no real plot to speak of.

lovesliescrushing is more imaginative. I love both bands, but lovesliescrushing seems a lot more inspired. (I am a sucker for loud edgeless guitars).

Hmmmmmm.......'ethereal noise'........lovesliescrushing is a lot noisier.
I think LSD owes alot to C.T. I can't compare lovesliescrushing to anyone, except maybe MBV's incidently noise-collages.....
