i have both singles. each are 13.99 plus tax. send me a check for like 
$40 and i will get them for you and send them. if i can only get one then 
i will send you whatever is left. the charming man will be harder to get. 
the b-sides disk is easier to obtain. anyway. if you want them, send a 
blank check for about $40 or 50 or so to:

new empire electronics
293 east orange avenue box 308
chula vista, ca 91911

i will send the discs to you and whatever is left (outside of shipping 
costs)

Okay I saw the greatest hits CD a couple of days ago and if you want the 
true divesity of the RHCPs then get it.  It has all the hits plus some plan 
old classic RHCP.  If you are just getting into the RHCP then buy it, but if 
you most of thier stuff just get the albums you don't have.

  Huh?

  Hmmmm... so if I've got this right, you *don't* believe the following rush 
  lyrics "scan".... 

	Sprawling on the fringes of the city
	In geometric order
	An insulated border
	In between the bright lights
	And the far unlit unknown

	Growing up it all seems so one-sided
	Opinions all provided
	The future pre-decided
	Detached and subdivided
	In the mass production zone

 Do you think these lyrics are "horrible", as you stated RUSH to be above? I'm
 not flaming, just trying to figure out what you don't like about rush lyrics.

 Again, this song (which I like) has a very simple rhyme to it. Is this your 
definition of scanning"?

	You sure as hell don't need to do that...I have vinyl and CD versions,

then it's a different story I think.  I heard that it was being released with

This is the same impression I got from listening to their CD.  For a  
band that claims to be "Sonic Youth, only deeper" as they described  
themselves in an interview, they seemed pretty boring.  I mean, I  
like the sound, but it was hard to tell the songs apart on the CD I  
heard cuz they were all pretty similar.

Anyone care to set me straight on this?

*Pretty on the Inside* is the only album out.

They do, however, have a few 7" singles out:

	"Retard Girl" (Sympathy for the Record Industry)
	"Dicknail"/"Burnblack" (SubPop) [probably the best thing they've
		ever done.  It's WAAAAY out of print, although "Dicknail"
		appears on one of the new SubPop compilations that were

There is also a (European?) single for "Teenage Whore", which I haven't
seen, but which I think has non-LP material, and a bootleg of a Peel
Session that I also haven't heard, although I'd like to--apparently, 
it includes a Beat Happening cover(?).

Alright.  I started buying Orb stuff a couple of years ago.  When I was 
in the UK I got their first double CD (ultraworld I think).  Then I got the
"aubrey remixes" CD, the Peel Sessions CD, and the American version (one CD)
of the import double I got in the UK.

Now when I was in the UK this past summer I saw: UFO Orb.  I was going to buy
it, but decided to buy it here at an import price (actually cheaper than
buying it there until the recent currency fluctuations).  Went to my local
shop and found something else: "Blue Room"  Bought that and enjoy it
tremendously. 

NOW:  is the "Blue Room" the same as "UFO Orb"?  What am I missing (other than
some CD singles)?  Anything new I *haven't* seen?  What other projects have
member(s) of the Orb been involved in?  I heard some were part of something
called 777.  Is this true?

Any other ambient house (or whatever you call Orb music) bands out there?


What do people think of the comparison to Pink Floyd I keep hearing about?!

   What exactly is your problem anyhow? The way I see it is you think
 that just because_Wish_ went Top 10 that The Cure are no longer
 alternative.The album _Wish_ is just as alternative and just as
 much Cure as any other Cure album. So what if they have a couple
 happy,poppy songs on it, that's not exactly anything new for them
 (Why can't I be you?,Love cats, Hot Hot Hot,etc.). I happen to like
 a lot of those songs and they are just as much of the Cure as their
 slow depressing songs and if for some reason you don't like those 
 songs then listen to the rest of_Wish_ it's not exactly what I'd call
 "lame shit". IMHO the Cure haven't changed their sound any with _Wish_
 and if you want to dislike the Cure just because they got a Top 10 hit
 then I guess that's your perogative. In my opinion that's just as bad as
 the Top 40 junkies disliking a band because they don't have a Top 10 hit.
