even more funny, the point of the original Clockwork Orange ran exactly
counter to that "it's cool to hurt people" mentality. the movie and
american version of the book ended just before Alex decided to be
good of his own accord. Orange was certainly intended to have pro-
free will message, but they left out the part about what should
be -done- with that will. more exciting that way i s'pose.

This CD is out of Print.  I WAS VERY FORTUNATE.  I was rummaging through
a bin of used CDs about 3 years ago, and I came across it.  I don't
know about everyone else's musical tastes, but I absolutely love this CD.
I had been looking for it at the time, but no-one carried it and no-one could
order it for me.  I really like the stuff, and I think Life in a Northern
Town is a major classic work.  I also have their second album, which I like.
One of my schoolmates saw Dream Academy CD and nearly died.  He offered
my fifty bucks for it (but like a stupid cow) I said no, cause I liked it
so much.  Pondering about that now, it may not have been so stupid,
looking at the ridiculous prices being charged for CDs in boxed sets now.
Right now the disk is in perfect condition, but I really wouldn't mind a
re-release of this disk so I can get another to keep for the next 20 years
.  

Just in case I didn't say it already... The disk was worth the 
ten bucks, just for the ONE song, Life in a Northern Town.  (I actually
know I said it already, I just wanted to emphasize that point)

Good luck out there finding your own copies  8)

I always wanted to have a band re-do The Dead Milkmen's "You'll Dance To 
Anything" and change it to "You'll Mosh to Anything."  It seems that the old
phrase "Hardcore Rules" has changed to an actual set of rules:

	Hardcore Rules:

	1. When in doubt, mosh.
	2. If you don't wear Docs, you're a poseur.

This isn't really a new problem, though.  I'll never forget seeing Nazi Punks
slamming to "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" a while back...

   Have you tried alt.thrash or rec.music.industrial? 
They're both metal oriented rather than punk, so your
best bet might be to try the mailing lists.  There is a
punk list, though from what I hear, it has very little
of interest on it.  There are various other lists too,
like the grunge list, the straightedge list etc etc.
   Maybe someone would like to post the addresses of
these, and other, mailing lists?

81-82 was released on CD in Canada, and perhaps the UK, but not the USA.  I
don't know of any plans to release it here.  "Procession" can be found on
the _Substance_ CD, domestically, as well.

I've become quite taken with Sky Cries Mary since I picked up
"Exit at the Axis" a few weeks back.  Evidence for my argument
that "the seattle sound" is not everything that's going on here!
I love music that is truly hypnotic and rhythmic (althoue "shoegazing"

TMJ seems out of place but overall it seems like that could be a concert
I could really enjoy!

I've liked most of what they've done, but I definitely thought that
"Go Bang" fell short.  "Faded Flowers" was a masterpiece, and if
they're following in that vein I think I'd proably enjoy it.

It's not taht often that I read a post on this newgroup that really
helps me know what to expect out of a group or disc that I haven't got
yet.  Thanks for being so informative!  A welcome change for someone 
interested in music exploration instead of just hashing the same arguments
over and over again for the "initiated."

>The last lyric of "Nemesis" is definitely "with the great big fishes."

Pretty obvious, that, I thought.

Yes, it was.  My version seems to be made in Canada.  I found it about a
year ago in an underground music store in D.C. and have never seen it
since.  If you are just looking for "Procession," the same exact version is
on the second CD of their 1987 Substance release (along with identical
versions of "Hurt" and "Everything's Gone Green").  But it also includes an
old nine-minute version of "Temptation" and a song called "Mesh" which
isn't the "Mesh" on Substance, but rather "Cries and Whispers" from one of
the Peel Sessions releases.

Actually, the live tracks that are on the 'We Hate It ..' single
are from the October 4th, 1991 show at the Hammersmith Odeon.  The
live tracks that appear on the B-side of 'Pregnant for the Last Time'
are taken from the Holland show.
 
'Higher Education' is an excellent quality bootleg.  I would highly
reccomend it.  I have a copy of it on CD, and would be willing
to trade copies of it for any bootlegs of the current 'Your Arsenal' Tour.
I would also like to get any *good quality* Smiths/Morrissey bootlegs
especially the abovementioned Hammersmith show, or the 'Posing in Paris'
bootleg.

Sort of.  Their last release was an almost speed-metal version of "3am
Eternal", recorded with _Black Room_ collaborators Extreme Noise Terror. 
It was a limited edition of 1000 copies, sold only through the mail, and
I've never been able to lay my hands on a copy.  (I have heard it though,
and it's pretty entertaining.)

Ah...the Cocteau Twins boxed set...one must admit that it does look VERY nice, but all the music on the ten CD's inside could fit on 2 CD's...
That didn't stop me from shoveling out $55 for it (not bad, considering I saw it for $70 in numerous places)...
Okay, from memory, here's what's inside:
"Lullabies", "Peppermint Pig", "Sunburst and Snowblind", "Tiny Dynamine", "Echoes in a Shallow Bay", "Aikea-Guinea", "The Spangle-Maker", "Love's Easy Tears", "Iceblink Luck", and a CD that's only available with the boxed set with four songs: "Crushed" (from "Lonely is an Eyesore"), "Dials" (from "Heaven or Las Vegas" CD5, I think), "The High-Monkey Monk", and "Oomingmak" (instrumental...big deal).

All except "Love's Easy Tears" and "Iceblink Luck" were only available as imports...

Judge for yourself if it's worth the money, but it has some stuff that the true Cocteau Twins fan MUST have!
