for me: $20.57 (member discount) at one of the (now-defunct) planet musics in
houston...to quote another of one my all-time favorite albums, i call that a
bargain...the best i ever had (or a contender, anyway)...

p.s. i always make it a point to stop at tower whenever i'm in austin...i
always manage to find something (usually in the singles dept.) i never saw in

Subject: New Order
I was talking about New Order with an on-line buddy of mine and we both
discovered that neither of us have clue as to whether New Order are
actually going to record anything more. I know that they did get back
together for the sake of performing live at one of those big English
festival thingys they have over there in the summer (Glastonbury???) but
I'd love to know whether their reforming is going to go beyond live
performances (ie. will they release anything new)???
Anyone know anything about this???

Yup, it is a beauty. I'd even dare to say This Road I'm Travelling is the
best song on the single, especially because of Rachel's voice, of course.

Hi,
i think that they played a couple of "secret" lead up shows to a performance
at Reading
but by the time they got to Reading they were barely talking to each other.
new recordings or shows are probably unlikely, but you never know.

hi,
definitely agree. the "b-sides" are better than the lead track. anyone else
noticed that
"who do you love" sounds a lot similar to Bernard Butler's solo stuff?

Actually a new album IS expected. This from Music4Pleasure
(http://www.joydivision.net/index.htm):
8/28/98 ... From Radio 1's "The N.E.T.", Hooky
says a new NewOrder album WILL be released
next year, w/ possible live dates (including the
U.S.) to follow. MTV, according to one report,
appears even more optimistic of some U.S. dates
in 1999.
There's even a rumor they are going to release a new single of Love Will
Tear Us Apart...

New Order played exactly one show in Manchester this summer.
They are second on the bill at Reading tomorrow, supporting
Garbage. They have announced that they will tour next year
with a new album.

yeeks... i thought the same too... that they're sounding like BB's new
stuff... was thinking that neil was spending way too much time with BB
maybe.
really love "between us"... to death. sounds so cool, laid-back and breezy
to me. got a bit of the oldish feeling too.
anyway, i picked up my second copy of this single today... sometimes i
order the same things from different sources because i forget. sometimes
i...... i don't know, i just did for this one. so if anyone wants, i'll
sell the brand new one. $8.00 excluding postage. email privately :

Subject: scott walker
i saw Scott Walker mentioned in some sort of video trade attempt
going on here. I just had to say here that Scott Walker is one of my
favorites these days.....such weird music it is! I never really care for
songwriting much but i have to say that he is probably my favorite song
writer.
I somehow found some Scott Walker records recently, Scott 1 and
Scott 2. I only paid 3 dollars for each .....what a steal! Anyways i also
own "tilt" which is some 1995 ambiantish recording and his first recording in
probably 17 or so years. Wow...........scott walker..........sigh.......

i noticed the trade was for *scott 1* and *scott 3*...the 2 albums from his
"classic" early days i've yet to obtain...i hope this doesn't mean they're
that difficult to track down...
i recommend everyone reading this to pick up the razor & tie comp *it's
raining today*, which is the only scott disc besides *tilt* available in the
states...quick not-completely-accurate-but-close description: engelbert
humperdinck sings the lost leonard cohen songbook...*tilt*, on the other hand,
is an entirely different beast...it's an unconventional approach to modern
music, not unlike *pygmalion* (now playing, btw), but they're sonic opposites
at times...*it's raining today* will make the better first impression, but
either way, nothing can prepare you for *tilt*...it'll take several listens to
sink in, but it will sink in...
and of course, we can't forget the walker brothers...

Another Day
Well I think another day went by
Where I didn't sit down and cry
I'm not sure whether I want to live or die
So I drink a lot and sometimes get high
How did I get to this, how did I become so weak
My life seems so empty, so lonely, so bleak
I still remember the time you said goodbye
The time that your heart had died
I know you didn't mean to be so cold, so empty, so hurtful
But all I can see is your face, so loving, so beautiful
Everyone says you'll get over it, get on with it
But right now I can't deal with it, everything is shit
Everything will be alright, that's what they say
But to me, it feels like just another day
The time we spent together, everything was alright
To tell you the truth it was the best time of my life
But things change, feelings fade, your feelings change
I though I could deal with this, but I was fucking deranged
You were the bright light in my life
I thought one day you might even be my wife
You were the reason for my happiness, for my living
But I was the fucking idiot who just keep giving
I know my life will never be the same
I just hope life without you doesn't drive me insane
Everyone says you'll get over it, get on with it
But right now I can't deal with it, everything is shit
Everything will be alright, that's what they say
But to me, it feels like just another day

Hello,
Just a continuation of my other posts:
Maxell HGX Gold, not Maxell Silver tapes will be used in sales.
And, if videos aren't your thing I have plenty of audio bootlegs as well.
Not too
much Slowdive but a fair amount of FSA, Stereolab, Spacemen 3 etc.
Thanks for your time,
Gordon

Subject: Mojave Gigs this week
Hi Everyone,
I'm no longer on the live mailing list, so please excuse the
following info if you have already discussed it:
Mojave 3 will be doing an "In-Store" acoustic set (yep, it's
free) at a store called "BORDER'S" on THURSDAY (they play a
regular gig @ the "Borderline" on Wednesday). The full name
of the store is "Border's Books, Music & Cafe".... what a
mouthful!
BORDER'S 203 Oxford Street, W1. East of Oxford Circus Tube
Station. 0171 292 1600
THURSDAY, 3RD SEPTEMBER
6:15PM-ish
Also, the September tour:
Tue. 1st The Point - Oxford
Wed. 2nd Borderline - London (Coley Park support)
Thu. 3rd Border's Books - London (in-store Acoustic Set @ 6:15pm)
Fri. 4th Alleycat - Reading (Coley Park & beatnik support)
Sat. 5th The Moles Club - Bath
btw, Coley Park are excellent so if you get to Borderline or Alleycat
make sure you check them out!
Re: The Bernard Butler UK tour; OCTOBER, 13th - 28th. Mojave 3 will
be going on first... as they are the first of THREE bands, so you'll
need to get there early if you want to catch them. Neil will also be
playing in Bernard's band on this tour,.... this is why Mojave 3 are
going on first, in order to give Neil a rest between sets.
I think that about covers it.. again, my apologies if you already
covered this stuff.
Take Care,
CB

Listened to Bauhaus today and I had forgotten how good they really are... And I

Weak rhymes, poor scansion. It's got a good beat though,
