I have noticed that quite a few popular US singles take around two months to be
released in Australia.  But many don't even get here at all.

But New Zealand does not have such a problem.  
They seem to get more of the US songs almost straignt away,
and many of the songs which don't make it here do make it to NZ.
:-(

Examples include: 

Keep it In Your Pants - Young MC
Hold You Tight - Tara Kemp
Too blind to See it - ? (early 1992)
Masterpiece - Tevin Campbell

Remember, I'm only saying that I heard these songs in NZ and US two months
before I heard them in Australia (I went on a holiday and spent at least a
few hours in both countries - just).

Also, I heard Billy Ray Cyrus' second single a week or two ago on a NZ
station I managed to pick up on the radio (AM 1035 Khz).  I don't know
whether it has been released here yet.

I don't know about albums, but I know of quite a few singles that have
benn released in Australia months, even years before they were released in
the US.  And I'm not talking about Aussie artists either.  For example:

Red Red Wine - UB40
Buffalo Stance - Neneh Cherry

I'm not sure about this, but Joey by Concrete Blonde may have been released
in Australia a few weeks before it was released in the US - even though
they're a US band.  It certainly entered our top 40 charts before it entered
theirs.

Hi,
	Hunters and Frente play the Palias theatre in Melbourne on Dec.
14th. Tickets went on sale about a month ago, for about $29.50. (A touch
pricey, but thats another matter). 

	Last time I saw Hunters the bouncers and Mark Seymour were over
zealous, to the extent that slam dances were ejected at the slight
vertical motion. I suggested then that for a morew sedate concert
perhaps they should play the Palais.... I wish I hadn't said it.

Subject: Frente on Tonight Live (and live)
Summary: Just some thoughts on the Frente appearance
Organization: Computer Science, University of Melbourne, Australia
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 1992 14:32:49 GMT

Saw Frente tonight on Tonight Live doing Accidently Kelly Street (cool song) and
noticed 3 things :

1) They were live! Well, Angie's vocal was live (she even mangaed the really
high bit (mega hard to sing I imagine) at the end of the song). I guess they
weren't completely live since there was atleast one other guitar distinguishable
(it was the electric one doing all the lead in the song) aswell as the acousitc
that Simon was playing (this one might have been live as they atleast went to 
the trouble of plugging it in). Also noticed that Tim was playing a pretty 
amazing bass line (with some cool hammer-ons!).

2) Simon and Tim are crazy looking and if this appearance was anything to judge
by their antics on stage oughta be good...

3) Is Angie pregnant or was she just sticking her stomach out that way with her
arms/shoulders pushed back like she normally does? No, I'm not being rude - 
Angie's quite cute I think anyway!

Anyhow, just thought it was pretty neat that Angie was singing live (and doing a
good job of it) on TV when nowadays most groups mime - Crowded House are the
only group who regularly seem to play live on TV appearances (eg Hey, Hey It's
Saturday) and when they do they improvise, extend, change, and fool about with
the song so much that you know it's live (AND you know it's good - some 
brilliant live performers here). About the only time I can remember them miming
was with Better Be Home Soon on Hey, Hey and here they mucked about, fell over
and picked up an accordian to do the keyboard bit (Paul Hester stood up before
his drumming was even over) so it was fairly obvious they thought it was all a
joke...

One thing I've always wondered - why don't miming bands on TV plug their guitarsinto their amps so they look a little bit credible! Still, the easiest ways to
tell if a band is live on TV is to check if the drums are miked up (or listen
at the end of the song (especially in fade out songs) to see if you can hear
the live drums still being played after the song has finished and we have 
crossed back to the host).

Enuff waffling,
Chris.

There's nothing wrong with the CD, they're tape dropouts on the analogue
tape that was supplied to Nettwerk. Whether this happened due to
careless handling during recording, shipping, or mastering is moot -
that's how the factory gets 'em, that's how they master 'em! Hopefully
if Volition re-release this album in a local edition it will be
re-mastered.

The tapes used for that album came from far and wide, too, so anything
could have happened... :-)

I bought this a few weeks ago in Japan. It sounds similar to the first album,
although I find it perhaps not as listenable. I have only played it a couple
of times though. Perhaps I should give it more of a listen.

Just thought you might be interested to know that the new 10,000 Maniacs album
"Our Time in Eden" is now out (I got it today at JB hi-fi for $24). Just from
a few listens I think it's pretty amazing stuff - they have really polished
their sound up since their last album "Blind Man's Zoo" (which is also really
good). I might even go so far as to say that some of the songs are a bit more
commercial (maybe upbeat or catchy might be better wording here though 
commercial != bad). Natalie is in fine voice and Robert Buck plays some really
cool guitar. I'd recommend it to you if you liked the other albums anyway...

Now we're only waiting on The Sundays "Blind"!
