Speaking of KMFDM, what's up with their live album?  I heard that there was 
one coming out a while ago (presumably on Wax Trax).  Did it?  Will it?

I'm looking for a movie called "Terminal City Ricochet", starring (among
others) Jello Biafra. It's completely unavailable on video here in NZ and
appears to be reasonably non-mainstream, which makes tracking it down a bit
harder. If you know how I can beg/borrow/steal/buy/otherwise acquire a copy
of this movie then any info would be greatly appreciated.

More details:
	Terminal City Ricochet
	An E. Motion Films Production (their address is in Canada)

	Starring Peter Breck
		Jello Biafra
		Germaine Houde

	Producer John Conti
	Director Zale Dalen

Well, first off I have to say that you must not be much of a Pixies fan,
because any true Pixies fan knows that the lyrics to their last 3 albums
(Doolittle, Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde) are printed in the cd
booklet.

Secondly, well, there is no secondly.

Everybody seems to be saying this is a PWEI song, and it very well could be,
but there is also a song by the Dickies (imaginitively titled "She Loves Me")
which fits this description also.  It's the last song on their fantastic album
_Dawn_of_the_Dickies_.

  On the subject of Ride - how much of their stuff have you heard ?  This is a list of their releases as far as I know;

'Ride' - The first EP including Drive Blind, Close My Eyes ( the red one ).

'Play' - 2nd EP including Like a Day-dream ( the yellow one ).

'Fall' - 3rd EP including Dreams Burn Down ( the grey one ).

'Today Forever' - The excellent 4th EP with Today, Sennen and their first UK
                  top 40 hit, Beneath ( the shark one ).

'Nowhere' - Debut album ( the land/sea-scape one ).

'Leave Them All Behind' - The *well known* EP with Grasshopper and the non-
                          keyboard version of Chrome Waves.

'Going Blank Again' - 2nd Album.

'Twisterella' - Disappionting 6th EP with the namesake 3rd chart single.


  There has also been released 'Smile' ( the purple one ) a compilation of the first two EPs; Ride and Play.

  I agree that 'Going Blank Again' was disappointing on first listen - simply for the over-produced, glossy pop sound in contrast to the powerful no nonsense songs from eg the 'Today Forever' EP.  However on multiple listens I would say that this was my favourite LP of 1992, coming a close second to Sugar...

  Ride are great...

Newsgroups: alt.music.alternative
Subject: Jens' Top Ten
Date: 5 Jan 93 02:00:24 GMT
Organization: Apple Computer

I know, most of you posted yours before the end of the year, but by
waiting until now I was able to add the terrific Lilys album (purchased
12/27) to the list. So here for your new-year's enjoyment is my Top Ten
list for 1992:

*1* BLEACH "Killing Time"
    A claustrophobic mix of corroded guitar noise; angry, cutting vocals;
    and a few moments of beauty. As intense as Joy Division or early
Cocteau
    Twins. The soundtrack to many moments of pure white-light coding
frenzy
    for me this year.
*2* P J Harvey "Dry"
    Jaw-droppingly tight folk/punk, and they've gotten even better since
this
    was recorded.
*3* THE WOLFGANG PRESS "Queer"
    Resurrects the decayed genre of white-boy-techno-Motown.
*4* BOO RADLEYS "Everything's Alright Forever"
    Perfect shoegazer pop.
*5* CURVE "Doppelganger" (plus "Fait Accompli" & "Horror Head" singles)
    I'm cheating by allowing the singles, but the B-sides are much better
    than the (slightly weak) album, as good as anything they've done in
fact.
*6* THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS "Apollo 18"
    Let nothing lesser ever be called "quirky". This is a downright
Surrealist
    collection of goofy sounds and melodies assembled from the dumpster
of the
    20th century. Who else has the balls to write songs that sound like
the
    themes to '50s sitcoms?
*7* LILYS "In the Presence of Nothing"
    I bought this five days before the year expired and had to tack it
onto the
    list. As perfect a My Bloody Valentine homage as anyone could ask for.
*8* THE ORB "UFOrb"
    "Like dreaming without being asleep" --A Co-worker.
*9* BUFFALO TOM "Let Me Come Over"
    Heartfelt indie-rock for life's more emotional moments.
*10* DROP NINETEENS "Delaware"
    They're young and inexperienced and need to focus more and goof off
less;
    still, when they get their act together ("Winona", "Kick the Tragedy")
    something really moves.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:
  Lush "Spooky" (I love Robin to death but he's wrecked their sound. Will
they
    ever recover? "Starlust" is promising...)
  Medicine "Shot Forth Self Living" (Cool post-MBV noise from former
    Savage Republic-an Brad Laner.)
  Stereolab "Switched-On Stereolab"  (Part Lush, part Velvets, part Modern
    Lovers (the first album, the one with "Pablo Picasso" and "Old
World").
    Haven't heard "Peng!" yet.)
  Verve "The Verve EP" (Grooovy floating psychedelic stuff, with the same
    narcotic fuzztone effect as early Slowdive.)
  Moonshake "Eva Luna" (Twisted and evil. I'm sure I'd get into this more
if
    only they could keep David Callahan from singing.)

BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENTS:
  Ride "Going Blank Again" (Did they only have one good album in them?)
  XTC "Nonesuch" (Finally gone irrevocably down the drain for good.)
  Meat Beat Manifesto "Satyricon" (It's got its moments, but why are they
    trying to be Depeche Mode?)

I suppose then that Berkeley/the Bay Area mustn't count as California to you if 
you've paid any attention to this thread.  Now we don't have to resort to
name calling now do we?

Anyway - a couple months ago (or so abouts I think) X played here in SF, and
they have in LA and SF near year's end for at least the last 2 or 3 years.
I always enjoy seeing them, and they have played a few songs that I COULD
see going towards a new release, but they have been pretty hush hush about
anything of the sort.  Draw your conclusions from there.

So lovely to hear that there are other Embarrassment fans...
I believe that there was was actually an Embarrassment LP
released several years back.  I owned a copy of it once upon
a time, but I accidentally left it at a radio station once
and never saw it again.  I can't remember the label that put
it out, or I'd write and ask how to get another.

The Embarrssment LP had all the same stuff as the Embarrassment EP, 
but more.  If I can remember...Celebrity Art Party, (I'm A) Don Juan, 
Wellesville, Wrong Song, about five or six others. (I guess I couldn't 
remember)   

I've never seen the Embarrassment Retrospective, maybe its similar
to the Embarrassment LP.  Is it still available?  Where can you
get it from.  

As far as I know the 1988 reunion lasted only long enough for an LP
and maybe a tour.  That was around the same time that Big Dipper was 
gearing up for their major label run.  There was also a recent Big
Dipper single (The Beast/Approach of a Human Being) so I don't think
Bill Goffrier has abandoned Big Dipper for a return to the Embarrassment,
but then again, I don't really know.

The Melvins have 3 albums out, not 4. There are 3 band members:
Buzz Osbourne  guitar, vocals
Dale Crover    drums
Joe Preston    bass
Also, they have many albums out, but 3 solo albums, made as a KISS
parody. The solo albums are pretty cool.
Some others by them are: Bullhead, Eggnog (my personal fave),
			Lysol(available only on import),
			10 Songs, Ozma, Gluey Porch Treatments, 
			Night Goat, Adolescent Wet Dream,
			and a few more. They were also on the 
			Deep Six compilation with Soundgarden, Green
			River, Malfunkshun, etc.
			
Their style of music is sort of Seattle-ish, but far stranger.
If you like to understand the meaning of lyrics, and hate minimal, repititive
music that is painfully slow and violently loud, then forget it. I personally love it.
If you are a fan of them and have recordings of them, e-mail me at:

Was it Dusty Springfield that sang "What Have I Done To Deserve This" with  
PSB? I haven't heard the album that you speak of, but the name rings a  
bell.

While we're discussing PSB, has anyone heard the single "Overture to  
Performance". It's on the CD single "Was It Worth It?". It's an  
orchestrated medley of several PSB songs. I think it's cool. There's quite  
of variety of style within it, from really smooth classical parts to  
burning hot jazz licks.

Ok, what the heck is a certain Ministry title supposed to mean?

The title (in Greek) translates as "head."
Except that there are two "letters" after the proper word that
sort of resemble a stylized xsi and theta.

I've heard that the title is supposed to mean "psalm 69."
This is impossible since the Greek word for psalm is COMPLETELY
different and could in no way be confused with "head."
Also, xsi and theta are not the 6th, and 9th letters in the
alphabet....

So what's the deal?
