Wax Trax is in serious finanicial difficulty. They closed their european office.Several bands got signed to major labels and left Wax Trax. Al Jourgensen's
(of Ministry) side projects are now on Sire, and Al has nothing to do with
Wax Trax anymore, leaving KMFDM, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, and
Front Line Assembly being the only 'major' bands left on the label (at least off
the top of my head). Rumour has it KMFDM and TKK are on the verge of leaving forthe major leagues. Wax Trax needs new talent, and fast, or it will be pretty 
much dead. I think the main blow was Al's ddeparture, as he is a consistent
record seller, and owned a chunk of the company. Various sources have said he
either signed his side projects to Sire, or Sire is suing him for them, or at 
least claiming their rights, but it all amounts to the same thing--an Al J./
Revolting Cocks/Foetus/Front 242/etc-less Wax Trax is just a shodow of its
former self

Carla: 
He exists.  He has a strange haircut.  I have met him three times.
He is in the New York "anti-folk" scene with people like Kirk Kelly.
There is an anti-folk compilation album but i forget the name of it.
I can find out.  Roger has a demo tape that he made himself, which
I have, and an album out on SST.  I have it in vinyl and I don't know
what other formats it exists in.  The tape is just him, but the 
album has a bass and drums, drums by Steve Danziger who is also with
Pianosaurus.  

He is truly an excellent songwriter "this is not a folk song
this is not a folk song this is not a folk song this is just a string
of pearls" and also an anarchist.  He has been on squats with Michelle
Shocked.  His voice is an unoriginal cross between Bob Dylan and 
Woodie Guthrie, but I knew plenty of folksingers (back in that NYC
period of my life when I was a folksinger-songwriter too) who couldn't
sing but used a dylanesque voice because they had to sing their poetry.
Roger is a great writer and the passion in his delivery and in his 
truly killer guitar playing ("Woody Guthrie's guitar says "this machine
kills fascists"; mine says "newborn babies should all be issued banjos";
Cindy Lee Berryhill's guitar says "go man go") makes up for any limitations
he may have.

Get in touch with SST for the album.  It is missing one of my favorite songs
from the demo tape, "#15 Blues," but it's still a great deal.  The song on
your compilation tape is from the SST release.

Good luck,

There's a UK-only CD EP, the "Easter Dinner" EP.
The EP contains a couple of songs that
predate their recent album, including the very fine "Pinwheels" from an
early EP.

Natalie Merchant is fantastic !!!  Beautiful voice, gifted

of the Maniacs now for quite a few years.  I had to admit, though,  
that my favorite album is "In My Tribe".  Although I like the others  
a great deal (Blind Man's Zoo being my least favorite), "In My Tribe"  
demonstrates Natalie's abilities best and gives us an honest look  
into the very sensitive person she is.  I wonder if these songs were  
written at a trying time in her life...They seem much more honest and  
emotional then any of the others...

But, my question - where is a NEW release ?  Hope Chest was simply  
the re-release of Human Conflict #5 and Secrets of the I-Ching on one  
album.  It has been several years since BMZ was released.

   I get my information from that fact that I grew up with the members of
Throwing Muses.  They are most definitely from Newport, Rhode Island.  Leslie
Langston (bassist on all except _Ramona_) was not from Newport.  Fred Abong
(bassist on _Ramona_) *is*.  They all (Kristin, Tanya, Dave, Fred) still
live in Newport, which is about 20 minutes from where I live now.
   Trust me on this one.

   They used to do Newport shows under the name Blowing Fuses.  Providence
shows were nearly always under their real name.  The clubs in Newport just
aren't big enough, and all their big fans knew what to look for.

   The first Throwing Muses release was a self-financed project with an 
adopted "record label" name of Blowing Fuses/Spewing Mouses.
   They also once used "Thinking Misses" as a band name on a 7" release.

   Andrew

PS:  This thread has mutated severely.  Apologies.  My only point was that
Throwing Muses are definitely not from Boston.  This rumour has been around
forever.  Maybe it's just because Boston is closer than NYC, and Providence
isn't big enough for anyone to have heard of, never mind Newport.
PPS:  My newsfeed is really slow.  Sorry about that, too.

and yet another version I've seen in stores does not have any additional

Well on the first hand there is SLE3P CHAMBER (the second 'E' is
backward).  Their music has definate sexual overtone (hell, not just
overtones... full content) S&M overtones.  And it is no "I fucked her
brains out" stuff.  Psycho-sexual as a friend of mine described them.
Very good. They are from the Boston-Cambridge area and can be found
(for the most part) on Inner-X Musick. 

As for alt. music equiv. of blues, well i dunno, i never listened to

Robert Smith worked with Siouxsie and the Banshees on _Hyaena_ as well as on
their double live album, _Nocturne_--he was their guitarist for that tour.
The Glove was (is?) composed of Smith and Steve Severin, bassist for the Ban-
shees.  Their one album to date is _Blue Sunshine_, which was previously
available only as an import but was released domestically sometime last year,
I think.  I personally don't care for it much, but... :)
