There's nothing that wrong with the format, per se.  The audio quality
is good, and one could issue CDs with all sorts of great stuff in the
booklet rather than just what could fit on the back of the album
jacket.  The potential for 70+ minutes of music on a disk is good,
too.

HOWEVER, that's not the way the format is being used.  Instead, it was
primarily an excuse for the record companies to charge twice as much
for an LP (which they'd been looking for a way to do for a long time),
while keeping the content the same, or even reducing it.  The unit cost
of CDs is now lower than the unit cost of LPs, for a run of almost any
size.  Further, the double album appears to be dead, what with the Guns
n Roses "choice means spending twice as much" USE YOUR ILLUSION I & II
and the forthcoming Springsteen identical exercise in greed.  Remember
getting three LPs in SANDINISTA for $10?  Sigh.

I've heard lots of their stuff old and new, and in my opinion it's not
alternative anymore.  It's just pop.  If you took any of your top pop
crooners and dressed them up like Robert Smith and had a band with guys
having black scussy hair, leather jackets  with fog and dark lighting --
you'd have the cure as they are today.

I disagree.  It could be that the stuff they DON'T release HAS an edge to
it, but it will destroy their current image of producing pablum pop.  
I'd say they only want to release something that is slick (money producing),
not rauchy.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of Metallica's either, and I appologize to
everyone out there for carrying on in a discussion that doesn't belong

Yes, the facts the previous message gave are accurate, with one

My Bloody Valentine opened this time;  I guessed as 
much cos they were preceeded by that african trad stuff
that some other reviewers spoke about, and it was good
stuff;  striking in comparison to what was to follow.
MBV opened with a lot of momentum and confidence;  not
what I expected.  The vocals were characteristically
submerged.  Too much so.  But sweet nonetheless.  The
mosh pit was strange, almost polite.  The gentlest mosh
imaginable.

Things livened up with Soon.  And of course there was
the trade marked wall-of-noise bit.  I would have been
dissapointed if they hadn't done it cos I'd heard about
it so often, but I confess to wishing I had something to
throw at them to make them stop.  After hours and hours
of this (well, stretched minutes), it was possible to
hear a submerged but emerging melody, and people started
grasping at this, trying to dance to it then losing it
again, leading to near euphoria in the pit when the 
melody established itself over the noise and the song
picked up momentun again.  Wish I had timed the noise
(...perhaps someone else out there did?).

Blur were shite.  More of an edge than their recorded
stuff though.  I liked the film though.  Turds dissapearing
up a guys ass, food out his mouth, meat being stroked back
onto a joint by a carving knife, back back to a cow in a
field.  And it backed up the best song of their set
(don't know the name...), thrashy and energetic.

Dinosaur Jnr baffled most of the crowd.  Their stuff is
difficult if you haven't heard it before.  Too much
like heavy metal in parts.  Their rendition of freak
scene (the perfect '80s indie track) was sloppy and
uninspiring.  Their high point was their cover of
Just like a Dream (Cure).

And Jesus and Mary Chain, who said they had no
stage presence?  They were pretty strong and charismatic
on this occasion.  Lots of momentum and drive.  
Fulfilling stuff.  

All in all, I most enjoyed MBV, although most others
evidently dissagreed.  Possibly the most original
act I've seen, well apart from anyone else.

If you heard it in a bar, it was probably from "Stars and Hank Forever,"
a record of covers; one side is Hank Williams and the other is John
Philip Sousa, I believe (or is it Gershwin?).  It's among their most
accessible work.  I think "God in Three Persons" is their best record
to date, but you'll find among Residents fans that there are at least
as many favorite records as there are actual records.

>>Apparently nobody knows who is in the band.  Perchance someone on usenet knows

I heard from a member of Savage Republic that one's name is H, and the
other's is Hubert or something like that.  They're originally from around
Shreveport, LA, but moved to San Francisco upon meeting Snakefinger.
That's the story I heard, but they cultivate mythos to the degree that 
you should be skeptical of hard facts about them.  It makes their music
much more compelling anyway.

Actually, as the Village Voice Pazz and Jop Review '92 noted, it's also the

Poster Children are originally from Urbana, Illinois and recently moved
to its sister city, Champaign. They've been around several years, with various
members. They put out a tape a few years back called _Toreador Squat_ (which 
Rose was rather disturbed to be reminded of when I talked with her at a gig
here in Boston in Nov.) but I don't know of its availability outside of the
Champaign-Urbana area. After that came _Flower Plower_ (not _Flower Power_),
which is on Frontier records, and has been available on CD since December or
so. IMHO I think it's better than _Daisy Chain Reaction_, their most recent
album. _Flower Plower_ was mostly the work of Rose and Rick, but Rick's 
brother Jim and a new drummer named Bob show up on _DCR_. However, earlier 
this year, Bob got married and left the band, so when I saw them with Swerve-
driver they had this new guy named John (I think that was his name...), who
seemed pretty good. I really don't know when their next album is due (yes they
did get signed to Sire (yaay!)), but in the meantime you can have fun searching
for the 7" they did for a British label called Clawfish, which is Thin White 
Rope covering "Eye" from _FP_ on one side, and on the other side, PC cover
"Down in the Desert" by TWR. They also appear on a Pravda Records compilation
called _20 Explosive Dynamic Super Smash Hit Exlposions!_ doing "I Feel Love".

If you have any more questions, just ask... I OBSESS about Poster Children :)

I don't know of the album, but I'll bet thy made it under the name of
Steve, Bob and Rich.  That's what they went by in KC before they went
national.  I'd also agree that there would be a lot of the same songs..
