Apparently, the Star album includes about 15 songs - many of which have 
already been released on the Slow Dust and Gepetto EP's...Having heard
most of the songs live, I would say that they sparkle, glimmer, shimmer
(ooops - getting carried away here) and that most of them are the usual
Tanya-pop with underlying strangeness (Low Red Moon for example)

>And will there be a tour in support of the album?
>Dates anyone?

Yes.  They are touring Britain in about 2 weeks time, with the Cranberries
(GASP!) supporting.  They were meant to be touring with Ultra Vivid Scene.
Whether this is still going ahead (what with the success of Feed The Tree)
I dont know.  I posted that I had the dates about three weeks ago as I got
them before they were released publically.  Read this more often!!!  I had
so many enquiries about it that my fingers hurt!!!!

When IS the Breeders album coming out????  It's been too long!!!!

The Afghan Whigs song "Rebirth of the Cool" is availible on a disc called
"Uptown Avondale," released last October. I got it from SubPop mailorder
for $7 including postage. I've also seen it in a few record 
stores. It comes in one of those cheap card-board sleave-type packages. Black
and white (bizarre) photo of Steve on the cover.


A review lifted from _The Chicago Maroon_ of last Friday:

Afghan Whigs "Uptown Avondale":
 Recorded last August in Cincinnati, the latest Sub Pop release from the Afghan
 Whigs is a CD5" EP, containing covers of the Supremes, Al Green, Freda Payne,
 and Percy Sledge. Weaving grunged-up, brooding and dirge-like interpretations,
 the Whigs make these songs their own. Greg Dulli's confessional voice
 scratches unique emotion and honesty into Green's "Beware," while the slow
 "True Love Travels on a Gravel Road" is haunted by dark guitars
 and a constant amplifier hum. The disc's cutting finale,
 "Rebirth of the Cool," is Steve Fisk and Shawn Smith's danceable
 soul mix (no kidding) of Congregation's brilliant, unlisted
 finaltrack, "Miles Iz Ded." All well worth having. Play it loud. Don't forget
 the alcohol.
                                -John Dunlevy

"Miles Iz Dead" is also availibe (unremixed) as a b-side to a couple of
 singles (an import and a domestic US, but I don't remember for which song,
 but, of course, those are just the album version.
"True love travels on a gravel road" was included (as the first track!) on the 
SPIN promo.

It seems to me that Pigface is a constantly evolving band.  Members seem to

Songs named "Heaven": 

As I recall both Robyn Hitchcock and The Psychedelic Furs have songs by
that title (or was that "Just Like Heaven"). I toss out "Heaven or Las
Vegas" by The Cocteau Twins and "C is the Heavenly Option" by Heavenly for
good measure.  The latter, BTW and IMHO, is the best single of
1992--Heavenly in a duet with Calvin from Beat Happening-- great stuff.
Time to check that database again?

Songs with the sound of rain falling: 

"Hiawatha" (Look Blue Go Purple)...at least I think that's the song with
the rain
"Standin'in the Rain" (ELO)...yeah, i know this is alt.music.alternative
Plenty of others that don't come to me at the moment.
 If the database can help with this I'll *really* be impressed.

Hmm. I think I'll start a supplementary thread on trains....

This confused me too!  I picked up the "Get the Girl, Kill the Baddies"
live single thinking it was going to be a new song but it was "Ruff Justice".
Was "Ruff Justice" renamed for the US release, or did PWEI just switch names
on us?

I tried posting this on the Jane's list and got no response, so I'll try here.

A few months ago, I happened upon a promo cd for Three Days.  Instead of
the usual painting which acts as decoration for cds, there is a picture
glued onto it (I do believe it is the picture which is on the regular
single envelope) and the disc itself seems to be made of flimsier
material than other cds.

My question, how rare (or common) is this single?

It is credited to "our skinny friend Steve", so he sure fits the bill.

Indeed: _Mars Needs Guitars_, probably their best album.  Also, IMHO,
_Blow Your Cool_ was their weakest effort (although it contains some
excellent songs -- "What's My Scene" is one of my favorite songs of
theirs) and I think Magna Cum Louder was a good album.  _Kinky_, their
latest, is also worth having.
