Actually, REM has announced that it will NOT tour in support of the new 
release "Automatic for the People."  (BTW, picked up my copy after t the
listening party last night, it's GREAT!)  But have made several indications
via interviews and whatnot, that they will play some benefit shows and 
will probably play a couple of live shows in Athens and about, but will 
not support a large, full-scale tour.

I was talking to some guy the other night, and he claims to know that
New Order will tour next Summer sharing the bill with the Happy Mondays.
I find this very hard to believe, and I wouldn't call this guy a good
source.  Somebody tell that its not true.  It's not that I don't like
the Happy Mondays, but I have to see New Order in a large outdoor venue
again, I just might go nuts.  The last time they played anywhere half
decent was in 1986, and that was in a theatre.  In 1987 it was the big
production with Echo in a stadium. (I'm sorry, bur seeing Ian Mc. and
Bernard stare at there feet for 3 hours is pretty boring from 30 rows
back).  In 1990 there was the "Monsters Of Art" tour as they liked to
call it with PIL and The Sugarcubes.  Another Stadium Show, and this
time it was worse because there was about 5,000 more people that the
last time and I was even further back.  I loved the show, but after PIL
there seemed a little boring.

        I say dump the Mondays and play smaller venues.  What good is
seeing a band like New Order if you can't even see them?  Its a band you
just have to be able to see.  I've seen them three times in Toronto, and
the only one I really enjoyed was The Low-Life show at The International
Center.  If I hear New Order and whoever else at Some large
stadium/Arena show, I don't know what I wil do

Both Shimmering Warm And Bright and Unicorn have been released as singles with
lots of Alien Nation mixes, mixed by Per Martinsen (Mental Overdrive). He has
transformed them to Meat Beat Manifesto-ish rhythmic club-monsters. SWaB is 
released in most of europe and possibly in US, but Unicorn is so far only
released in Germany (?). Both singles feature an extra track (the title
escapes me).

I bought the latest pwei product today, `The Looks or The Lifestyle?'.

I'm not that impressed with it - seems to me it's like we're being dragged back
to the pre-Box Frenzy days of grebo guitar, all the Now For a Feast stuff,
which I'm not very enarmoured with.

Also:

1. No new Can U Dig Its, Wise Up Suckers or Dance of the Mad Bastards.

:-(

But I'm very interested to hear other people's opinions. I'm obviously biased
heavily towards stuff like Hit The Hightech Groove, everything off This is This
and Cicciolina, 1000x No, Another Man's Rhubarb, et al.

But, ultimately, any pwei is better than no pwei.

"The Uplift Mofo Party Plan" is great. It features the original lineup of
Anthony, Flea, Hillel and Jack Irons. It's a little more thrashy than their
most recent two. And of course, it features the famous "Special Secret Song
Inside" aka "I Want to Party on Your Pussy." And Flea's bass work is tops.

Specifically, we will be in NYC from November 1st to 5th, and San Fran 
from the 5th to the 14th.  And, as you might have guessed, we'd like some 
tips on where to go, what to do, etc. while we're there.  Specifically, 
we'd like info on...

- dance clubs, live venues, and "hang outs" (bars, pool halls, etc.) that 
  are in an industrial/gothic/alternative vein
- alternative record, book & comix shops
- cool clothing stores
- repertory cimemas (i.e. "art film" type theatres)
- art galleries

...and anything else you think we might find interesting.

If possible, please reply by direct email, since I'm going to be pretty

I just bought "Fortune Cookie Prize," the tribute album to Beat Happening on
the Simple Machines label.  A few comments and questions follow:

- Which song sounds closest to Beat Happening?  (No, I've never heard BH
  before, I bought the disc for Velocity Girl.)
- The Velocity Girl track is excellent.
- I've never heard a lot of Sonic Youth before either, except for one song
  on MTV.  Is "Kim, Thurston & Epic" usually that brutal?
- The Superchunk track is good, too.
- Should I feel guilty for paying $12 for this disc?

Cool liner notes on how to get CDs made...

I'm personally sick of Robert Smith's and The Cure's gloomy look.  It's getting
very tiresome.  I believe the term "style" is being misused.   Style
is.....bluegrass, R&B, funk, 6/8 AfroCuban, southern rock, etc...  Sure, The
Cure sonically is diverse, but stylistically it is not.
In the niche that The Cure belongs to, I can easily accept The Cure being the
best but "the second best of all time"?  Come on?

	Excuse me!  Perry Farrel is a musician, an entertainer.  His social
life has nothing to do with his abilities.  As far as the musical world goes,
drugs have been a significant part of some musicians lives.  Sure, it may have
caused their early demise, in some cases, but this is their choice, and with 
the exeption of a few, it has usually been apart from his or her musical 
displays (ie: concerts, recordings, etc.).  In reference to your 
narrow-minded and irrational fears toward homosexuals, I have but one thing to
say - OPEN YOUR MIND! (that is of course if you have evolved at least to the 
point of a civilized primate!)  
	I really do not understand how you could abhor Perry Farrel, but that
is your own opinion.  Aside from that, there is no reason for your useless
drool on this system.  Learn to accept people for who they are, not what they
do!

I play East Indian percussion (tabla) and use a Sony WMDC3 Pro recording
walkman. Its $200 including microphone. The DC3 has Dolby B, will
record on chrome tapes, and has manual recording level control.
The Sony DC6 is it's big brother. It is somewhat bigger, has Dolby
B and C, and can also record on metal tapes. It is approx $300 and
doesn't come with a microphone. The DC3 is small enough to carry 
in your pocket. The DC6 is a bit bigger and you may have trouble with
tight pants :-)

The portaDATs are $500-$600 (Sony TCD3, Casio RA100, Aiwa HS1).

A company in Portland OR makes some interesting 'stealth' microphones.
They are small buds that are slipped onto the frame of your glasses.
The wires go behind your ears and with long enough hair (that rules me
out !) they would be virtually unnoticeable. They are around $250-$300
I think and have incredible specs. The testmonials from various engineers
indicate they are suppossed to be superb sound quality and have an
excellent reputation among the Grateful Dead 'taper' section.

The microphone that comes with the DC3 is quite tiny as well so as
long as you can disguise it, spending $200 for a DC3 would get you
started.

"Suck" and the Adam Any song are on the cassette of "broken".  They are on the

of tape to get to them.
