On the subject of PWEI's last album (The Look or The Lifestyle), can anyone
tell me why the penultimate track is called _Harry Dean Stanton_. Yes, I know
who he is, but I don't see the relevance to the song - is there one?

This fellow is hilarious!  I think flannel is mostly cotton.  I think the pre-
ponderance of it most likely results from the people who first grasped 
'alternative' music as their own.  IMHO that would be the folks who prefer
substance over style, practicality over fashion, and hate with a passion
anything that they are supposed to like.  I first noticed it with the 1st 
great Triumviriate of Minneapolis (Husker Du, Replacements, Soul Asylum), but
then that is when I first became aware of anything outside of mainstream.
(I was still a kid)

This whole album is filled with sly wit, even on the cuts that are
so obviously supposed to be funny.  I think I even have two copies
of this on CD.  If you'd like to trade (since you're in the UK, it'd
probably be easier to trade than bother with a straight sale) give
me a shout.  I'll see if I can think of something that I want that
I can't get here.  Of course, if the album is available on your side

Well, Eugene Kelly and TFC are old friends.  Youre not the first
to point out the similarity.  The british press caught it and one
mag called CA "a less jaded TFC".  The bands had a little fun
with this, so when people asked CA how they described themselves,
they said "a more jaded TFC,"  and TFC referred to themselves as
"less jaded Capt America."    What a load of nuttos

Speaking of which, does the rerelease of the Vaselines on Subpop
(or domestic US release)  have anything to do with Nirvana's
connection with the bAnd?  (ie they like them)

It's actually the name an ancient race of people (can't remember their names)
gave to supposed "visitors" from another solar system thousands of years ago.
If you read any von Daniken (NOT that I'm an avid fan of his), you'll glean
more info. Soz if this isn't relevant to this newsgroup!!

	It's hard to keep up with in these

homosexuals (at least in DC) now prefer to be called.  Maybe 'gay' developed

Umm... Yeah Mike is in KC.  I saw him here in Lawrence the other
night when Brave Combo played.  He goofed around on stage, kinda
playing bongos. heh heh.  Kim was also, well, uh, limber?

Anyway, I dunno exactly what the lineup is like, but a band still

here in the last month or two.  I was never into them that much,
but do enjoy some of their album.

Sorry if this post doesn't make any sense but our news poster died a few days
ago while I was following up to the Jesus Jones thread and I don't remember
everything that I said or was going to say.  Anyways...

There was a Jesus Jones discography included with the 10" vinyl of Who? Where?
Why? but I seemed to have misplaced it (the discography that is).  It's
probably somewhere in my boxes of vinyls if anyone wants me to dig it up.

I called our local import store about the Ruby Trax(?) compilation and the guy
there said that he heard it was pretty weird and actually not worth the $45US.
Kind of a waste of dough for one song but then, I paid $75 just to get a remix
of the Cure's To the Sky on an out of print compilation.  I guess try before
you buy.Oh, and the guy was pretty knowledgeable... I didn't have a clue to
what I  was looking for when I asked him... I just told him new JJs on a
compilation and he somehow figured it out.  They didn't have a copy for me to
look at.

I may have already replied about this but I can't remember.  The song Info
Psycho is included on the UK CD single of Right Here, Right Now... it's pretty
good I guess.  There's also a version of Welcome Back Victoria mixed by DNA.
It basically sounds the same but with an orchestra playing too.  The CD is
labeled CD Food 30 if you wanna look for it.

I guess we'll have to wait 'til the end of January for Perverse... hopefully,
there won't be any delays.
