throwing in my probably-unwelcome two bits, as a list newcomer...
> The Nation of Ulysses were utterly great! Their schtick was that they were

> make up. The most energetic records I've ever heard. Everyone *must* buy
> 'Plays Pretty for Baby'. No, really.
absolutely True. you all must buy this record, and their other as well, "the
13 point plan to destroy america." the nation have an aesthetic all their own,
although i'm not so keen on the new make*up ... also, if interested in nou,
check out ian's (the singer for the nation of ulysses) pre-nou band, the cupid
car club on kill rock stars.
my apologies if this is horribly off-topic... consider me chastised already,
and move on.
paul. (another one, apparently)
ps: nou politics are actually based on proudhon, kropotkin, bakunin... other
"revolutionaries" ideas/ideals.

Hi everyone,
I was cleaning out my storage space this weekend and I found a KALX (the
Berkeley college radio station) program guide from Fall of 1996 and it
had the following in the record review section:
>
Belle and Sebastian
Tiger Milk (sic)
(Electric Honey Records)
A gorgeous album which came in the mail, out of the blue, marked "AIR
MAIL -- SCOTLAND, UK." Tiger Milk is one of the most lovely, beguiling
LP's of recent years: diaphanous Sarah-label angst pop mixed with a
heavy, heavy dose of Nick Drake laid on top. A fellow KALX DJ sneered
at this description, "No one could sound like Nick Drake -- he was one
of a kind!" And while that may be true, it's a comparison I'll stick
by; this is a real find. (Lawrence)
>
Fuck!
And speaking of Mogwai, their US label Jetset just released their remix
album Kicking a Dead Pig as part of a 2-CD set with the Mogwai Fear
Satan remixes...I got it for $14, and it's worth it, but more for the
Fear Satan remixes...that R U Still in 2 it remix was just unnecessary,
and even harmful...on import, together they would have cost around $35,
so...okay
Take care,
Birjinder

Has anyone heard the acetone album. NME described them as an American
Belle & Sebastian. Saying this, I usually dismiss bands who are said to
be the next _____ but Jason Pierce (Spiritualized) mentioned them too,
so I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on them.

is anyone very skilled in access 97 programming as i need to construct
an extension to our current database.
we already have a very complex database that runs the fanclub and the
shop and merchandise (both salas and accounts). however the shop sode of
the database has a minor short-coming in that it does not track stock
levels.
i need help creating this extension so that it can place stock orders,
receive them onto the system and maintain a current stcok on hand
figure. i know this would incorporate some vba - which is where i fail.
so if anyone would care to be of help please let me know what your
abilities are and if it comes to good i'll personally buy you the new
belle and sebastian album and a shirt for you (when they're available!).
thanks
david kitchen
PS: system requirements - IBM PC compatible with windows 95/98/nt
running office 97 professional edition.
PPS: sorry if this bores everyone else - but it's fairly essential!

Corrrrr!
Have you london kids been listening to XFM lately??
Yes, today and yesterday, as I was psychically tuning in my walkman at just the
right moments in time and space, I heard Salako's song ' Go on then Enlighten
me, why don't ya?'
Not wanting to take Katrina's job from her, they are Jeepster's new band, a
four/five(?) piece from Hull, and, just so you know it from someone *outside*
Jeepster, they fucking rule, the best band I've heard since (cough) our old
faves.
Anyone whose attended the first London picnic or the bluesoda socials may have
met James, the singer, and can I just say, that I can't get over the fact that
dickie little james, the one who looks and acts like a naughty little schoolboy,
and climbs anything in sight (trees, lamposts, belisha beacons,the
charts*crosses fingers*) can get a sound like that out of his dickie mouth, let
alone the songs (does James write them too katrina? or a joint effort by all?).
Yeah, so there you have it, but don't let on that I called james 'dickie' or
'little' cos he'll twat me, cos he's a big- hard- muthafucking- cock- rock-
guitar- bending- pop-star-dickie-little-james OK??

Anyone out there who has read Morvern Callar AND These Demented Lands
and thinks that although Morvern Callar is a good book and most
probably more homogeneous in style, These Demented Lands is by far
better? Honestly - does Morvern offer any image as powerful as that
of the airplane investigator carrying the propeller in the ultimate
Jesus Christ pose?
Watch out for The Sopranos - Warner's third novel should be out now.
Love,
Hannah

I just want to know if anybody's heard the Rufus Wainwright album? I
listened to most of it yesterday and REALLY liked it. Kind of a moer folksy
Radiohead meets the Divine Comedy (the strings) and Ben Folds Five (the piano
playing). I just thought I'd spread the word...

Hello
I'll add my recommendation of Morvern Caller, and believe me you can
trust the recommendations you read here. I've just read The Prayer of
Owen Meaney and it is wonderful. Thanks to everybody who mentioned it a
few months ago.
I'm off to skip to Jay Jay Johansson. Anybody else like him?
