Subject: Re: Sing Sing?
yes, i heard this rumor about Sing Sing...i'm sure it must be just emma
with new people. i recall phil saying that emma didn't want to work with
miki anymore, because they'd been together for so long and emma was ready
to be more of a leader...
lush broke up after chris acland, their drummer died. he killed himself
in october 1996 (rip). there were no plans to regroup, and recently they
made a public statement that lush was officially broken up.

Subject: Lush
Hi:
This is some information about what ex-members of Lush are doing now
-collected from the indie-pop list-:
PHIL.- he is the touring bassist for the J&M Chain
ENMA: Emma anderson's new band is called Sing-Sing. Phil said that emma
wants to eventually do solo stuff. who knows when... phil was into the
idea of putting out a disco record- specifically, a "lonely" disco record,
since disco music does not reflect sadness too often. Seriously, that's
what he said...
MIKI: has apparently gone solo.
i gather emma and miki are both still signed to 4ad but don't
quote me on that. no records have appeared yet tho'
Hope it helps
Love
Jorge

Is blue day in every copy of the import souvlaki? The store near here
has the version of souvlaki with the picture on the *whole* cover
(instead of in the corner like the US version)... so what's the chance
of Blue Day being in it? This could help put me through college 8c)

check the portion of the cd try that sticks out...if it says "2 cd" at the
top, you should have a winner...there isn't any mention of "blue day" anywhere
on the booklet or tray liner, so this'll be your only indicator...

Yeah but as far as collecting ALL of a bands releases, slowdive aren't too
hard since they didn't release that much stuff. Not that they aren't hard
to get nowadays. I think i had everything there was to get back in 93.
Back then Vinyl Ink had a nice copy of Blue Day on vinyl for the longest
time. Guess i should've picked it up, darn.

I don't think that Blue Day was actually released in the UK as a UK
pressing, as such, I think it was only released in France, Japan, one of
the Scandanavian countries (sweeden, perhaps??) and one or two other places
but I'm pretty sure that it wasn't released locally in the UK.

Yeah, I was lucky on this count, myself... I saw the s/t EP and '5' EP on
the shelves here in Oz in '94 and picked them up for their retail price.
Then I managed to mail order in "Outside your room", "Moriningrise" and the
'5' EP Remix CD... they all seemed to be quite readily available back
then... in fact, I had 2 copies of '5' Ep at one point that year and then I
found another copy of it here for around US$4 in a 2nd hand shop... they're
around if you're prepared to be patient. In fact, I think that some of them
are still in print, actually. The only EP I wasn't able to order in
("Holding our breath") was (apparently) deleted from Creation catalogues in
1996 but, unless you were in England, was near impossible to get through
ordering from record stores even before it's deletion date. I'd had it on
order for over 12 months before it had finally been deleted but it didn't
turn up... I was told by the guy in the shop that for releases like
"Holding our breath", preference is given to record stores in
England/Europe and their orders for those titles would be taken care of
first... meaning that people like me who want them imported have to play
the hit-and-miss game that you have to endure if something you're after
isn't released locally. Evidence of this is seen in the fact that you can
(apparently) still find Slowdive EP's in baragin bins around London/England
if you look carefully...
It's enough to drive you insane...

ugh..my cat did it again!!! im so sorry, im going to have to close my door
while im on the comp
as i was saying..
i have the slowdive in mind remixes 5ep also, which i got for 7.99...
and up at school in montreal i picked up morningrise (last year) for 7.99
canadian (it was on sale) (which comes out to about 5.00 american)...
if anyone goes to montreal heres a tip: they have a ton of used record shops
in the french area of downtown montreal that sell amazing used records (very
cheap) for example i found an original pressing of the cure "the top" for 5.00
canadian and my friend bought an original beach boys 12 inch single for fifty
cents....

actually, quite a few copies of holding our breath went out signed. I
bought mine new when it came out, at a podunk record store, and it is
signed by all as well. I think the band must have signed quite a few
before they were distributed.
by the by, I made a slowdive comp. tape the other day, with all three of
the EPs, the In Mind singles, and a few other misc tracks, all from CD,
which I would gladly trade. email me privately.

no really, though, since lovesliescrushing won't be there, i don't see any

hahaha...hmm and since my name is sabrina i tend to get that teenage witch
joke all the time...(once i got an interesting twist on it: you related to
melissa joan hart?..grr i hate that show)...i do like black tape for a blue
girl, i think their music is wonderfully dark and i love the various female
vocals on many of the albums...and i havent had the chance to see them live
yet, so im giving it a try...both times they played in nyc i left for college
just days before their shows.....if anyone does like this type of music i can
suggest a really good band: they are called rheas obsession and they are from
canada..i was lucky enough to see them in montreal awhile back and the lead
singer, sue hatton (or hutton) has an amazingly beautiful voice...i was able
to talk with her after the show and learned that she had a pretty bad cold..i
couldnt believe how wonderful her voice sounded when she was sick..im hoping
to see them again....she is also super nice...and we both made fun of the
opening band (this horrid atypical goth band called western dream: the lead
singer dragged a scythe around stage and made (what he thought were) chilling
motions...

Rheas Obsession have been one of the best kept secrets of this country we
call Canada - blistering shows, amazing vocals - they seem to transcend
this species known as "Goth" and just tend to get on with writing really
good music...anyone have their record? Simply amazing....these guys and
Sianspheric are two really amazing bands that everyone should check out
some time...
