"Warm/Crawl" is two songs, actually. Steve "Who Cares" Shapero would
probably want you to know that. :)

VG are on the cover of the Washington Post's Weekend section today. The
cover article, "Going Underground: Washington's Brave New Bands" talks
about the "scene" and interviews Jim Spellman (VG), Amanda MacKaye
(Desiderata; yes, she's Ian's sister), Sohrab Habibion (Edsel) and Donna
Dresch (Chainsaw zine.) If it's not too late by the time you read this,
find a copy and read it. I found it surprisingly well-written and accurate
(although they somehow have a picture of Tsunami with no accompanying text
other than a caption :( ) What they fail to mention is that, with the
exception of 9.30's DisPop nights, you'll never see announcements of
upcoming DC indie shows in the Post. Try the City Paper or WHACK! If you
don't get it, you don't get it, indeed...

ObIndie: Go buy the _International Pop Underground Convention_ CD on
K/Cargo. You won't regret it.

I've got a couple of records by a jangly guitar band called The Balancing
Act.  I think they're from the US (Colorado?) but I'm not sure; the record
sleeve isn't very helpful.  Am I the only one who's ever heard of this band?
Does anyone know if they've put anything out recently (since "Curtains")?
Anyone have any history on these guys?  I've asked around at local record

Because he moved to LA, started hanging out with the likes of George
Clinton and dropped old cohort Mathew Seligman in favour of a new band, The
Lost Toy People.

> Is this likely? or was it just a lapse in style?

Not hugely likely - his most recent album _Astronauts And Heretics_ moves
back to a rather less Americanised sound (*) and his accent has returned to
being very English again. He's still based in LA but I get the feeling that
he's rediscovered his roots. Being dropped by EMI probably brought him down
to earth a bit.

(*) Well, apart from the fact that the new album has cajun musicians dotted
all over the place and guest slots by the likes of Eddie Van Halen and
Jerry Garcia. Mind you, Ofra Haza, Eddi Reader and Budgie also make
appearances, so I guess that counteracts it a bit :-)

To me, there's virtually no difference between Juliana's solo material and
the BB's stuff, except maybe a different attitude (more abrasive.) Evan
Dando is on a few tracks, which makes sense since Juliana's on the
Lemonheads LP. If you like the Blake Babies, there's no reason why you
shouldn't like Juliana's LP (unless you're a big Antenna fan or something :)

Well...I think the Black Crowes are a refreshing change from all that
boring corporate rock stuff I'm so sick of.  You know, bands like Foghat,
Sugerloaf, Nine Inch Nails, Robin Trower, Journey, Nirvana, R.E.O.
Speedwagon, Pogues, The Cure, Soundgarden, and G'n'Roses.
  
The Black Crowes really have a very, very, sincere/original approach!  And
those bell-bottoms...they're so underground !

I suggest that we define "Alternative" with the same logic and terminology
that the Meese Commision on Pornography devised.  That is,

	       	YOU JUST KNOW IT WHEN YOU SEE IT !!!!

In the case of Alternative music, simply substitute HEAR for the word SEE
above.

"Shove" "Fast and Frightening" "Wargasm" "Everglade" "Pretend we're Dead"

Hiho.

  'Bromley Contingent'!!!  A group of kids who started following the Sex Pistols
in '76. The comprised the likes of Janet Ballion (Siouxsie), John Simon Ritchie
(Sid Vicious), Steve Strange and (I think) Stephen Bailey (Steve Severin).

They were the 'dressers' who followed the Pistols from the early days.

They were called the 'Bromley contigent' because they were all from the London
suburbs, namely Bromley.

I'll try to get some more info. for you tomorrow.

I also have a release from 1986 on new alliance records, simply
called "DOS", which is a full-length album by Mike Watt and Kira.

The track listing is:

the rabbit & the porcpine -3'02
number four -2'28
snapshot -2'08
number two -1'33
slow little turtle -4'17
number three -2'59

forever -4'37
the fisherman & his wife -5'18
funk one -1'55
number one -2'46
taking away the fire -4'13


It's been a while since I listened to it, but I like it (or I wouldn't have
kept it).  It's all instrumental with the two of them playing bass, except
taking away the fire which has vocals by Kira and snapshot which has
Mike on kalimba.

It's definitely worth looking for if you like dark bass things.

	Well, Jeremy definitely shot himself at the end of the video and 
not his classmates.  Everyone (except Jeremy) is frozen throughout the 
entire video, not just after Jeremy does away with all of his problems;
so the fact that they are frozen at the end is no more significant than
them being frozen throughout.  It's all about rage.  Nothing more.

The CD has been released through BMG.  They did a good job of
mastering it - the sound is very good.

Not in my wildest dreams did I think I'd see the day when the Bongos
were reissued - but that day has arrived.  Everyone, rush out and buy

Buy this collection NOW.  It fuckin' rules.  The Vaselines are one of
the few truly inspirational bands I know of.  "Jesus Wants Me For A
Sunbeam" is so pretty it makes me want to cry (unless I'm singing along
at the top of my lungs :) ).  BTW, the other full-time Vaseline was
Frances.  The Beat Happening feel is there in the DIY nature of the
recordings, but Eugene is more inclined to step beyond minimalism in his
tunes (although I'm not sure where BH is headed - "Sea Hunt" was
practically orchestral by their standards.)

>Also, anyone familiar with the DENTISTS? I see in the new Option mag theres a

Another great band.  Saw 'em this summer - really fun guys.  The bass
player made a point of yelling at everyone at the bar to come into the
next room to see the band, and then, noting the poor response, walked
into the bar during one song.  Really cool.  Their domestic CD on
Homestead, "Dressed", is excellent, as is the 10" on Independent
Projects Records, "Naked".  There's also a ton of European releases, but
the CD is a compilation of their stuff going back to 1985.
