Hi Folx.

I have two cassettes for sale:

1.  The Smiths "Louder Than Bombs"
    This is the double cassette with 24 tracks.  Contains some of
    The Smiths' best stuff, like Shoplifters of The World Unite,  
    London, You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby, and much more.
    Absolutely nothing wrong with the tape...just got it on C.D.

2.  Gene Loves Jezebel "The House of Dolls"
    Very cool album.  10 very awesome tracks, including radio hits
    like Gorgeous and The Motion of Love.

Price?  I would like $7 for The Smiths and $4 for Gene Loves Jezebel, or
$10 for both of them.  Shipping is included in the price of course, and
will be done via USPS.  Please contact me if interested.  Thanks.

To the person who had the Fortran 5 disc "Blues" for sale ($10).  

Q:  Is this the domestic (US) or UK version?  I have the UK version on
    cassette and noticed (after looking at the US release) that the 
    track listings and some mixes are different.

On a regular basis.  Four of the five CDs I offered a couple weeks back
were reserved within 24 hours, and last time I posted my (admittedly
extensive) wantlist, people from all over the world came up with over a
half-dozen discs -- some of which I'd been looking for for years. 
I buy stuff from here all the time.  (And in fact, Seth, I've been
keeping an eye out in the shops for a copy of _3_.)

I have two concert CD sets for sale.  Both are 2CD sets.  The first is
Genesis at the Astrodome '92; the second is a Dire Straits concert from the
"Brothers In Arms" tour (title - "Cocaine") with an appearance by Eric
Clapton on 2 tracks (incl. singing on Cocaine).  Both are very good quality
audience recordings.  Complete track listings available on request.

Asking price: $70 Canadian (~$60 US) each, including shipping.  Will
consider lower offers with tape trades.  I am selling these only out of
necessity (starving student).  I'm not a big fan of new Genesis, but it is
a good show, and I really like the Dire Straits one but... that's the way
it goes.

I am looking for cassette copies of the songs Melissa Etheridge recorded
for the movie "Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael."  The titles of the songs
are "I Will Never Be The Same" (aka "In Roxy's Eyes") and "Don't Look
At Me."  If you have these songs or information on where I can find them,
please e-mail me.

I am also looking, but not so frantically, for the following:
	*The songs from the preview trailers for "Grand Canyon" and
"Prelude To A Kiss" that are NOT on the soundtrack albums.
	*The Soundtrack albums from:
		Broadcast News
		Doctor
		Paradise
		Quick Change
		Stella
	*The "soul" version of the song "Frankie and Johnny" which appears
in the film (or at least the preview) but not on the soundtrack.

Finally, if you have VHS copies of the following movies I may be interested
in buying them: Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox, Gus, Life and Times of Grizzly
Adams, Midnight Madness, Reckless, Scavenger Hunt, and Time After Time.
Again, I would appreciate any information at all about these items.

In your terms, A7.

it moves, as we expect, to a D chord in the next bar.  the bar
after that is the first really interesting chord in the piece:
the diminished 7th in inversion, part of a new key area.  But see
my previous posting where I go through all this in Functional Harmony
terminology.

Matthew Fields mentioned Olly Wilson (whose orchestration class I'm taking
this term); again I'd suggest you broaden your definition of art music,
because I hear no deficiency of art in the music of Anthony Braxton or
Miles Davis.  Anthony Davis has been doing opera, etc.

Yes, but not many.

I think none of these statements has ever been true.

Not the music exactly, but the institutions have always been theaters of
the power relations in the society they belong to.  Actually, Calvin
Simmons (another counterexample for you, unfortunately dead) described
Mozart, whom he greatly admired, as the whitest white man that ever was --
on musical grounds.

So yes, you're right, the classical-music world is largely white and male;
no surprise, considering its main function today is to perpetuate the
image of the European 18th and 19th centuries.  (I say this with a certain
ambivalence, since I'm gearing up to contribute to it myself.)
