Without a doubt, _Automatic for the People_ has some of REMs best
stuff ever.

>Let me know

BRIEF REM TANGENT
I was a DJ at my college radio station as an undergrad and I remember
when _Reckoning_ came out one the other DJs said, "Yeah, its pretty
good, but it sounds like they are running out of ideas. How many
albums of this jingle-jangly guitar shit can you make interesting?"

Dear Conrad, you are *so* right! I was just a little confused. But
being that Murray Head was in Mother Love Bone, you gotta admit I was
on the right track. I believe Mr. Head also did back-up vocals on
Jesus Built My Hotrod. Well hopefully *that* is the "End of Discussion."

Best Live Show:  Sloan, Bombshelter University of Waterloo.  This was amazing as it came after Game 5 of the World Series (the Jays could have clinched it, but didn't.)  The show got pushed back until after the game was over, and then a band from Vancouver called Memory Day played (they were O.K.), so Sloan did'nt start playing until just before midnight.  All the people who came to see Sloan were so pumped after the long wait that the show was just nuts.  The Bombshelter at U.W. has a small stage and then



 a small aisle and then tables, so there is not much room to mosh, but people were going nuts.  Chris Murphy, the lead singer went body surfing and was trying to get the people to push him onto one of the tables, but security (dam'n it) made the crowd push him back to the stage.  My friend and I were talking to Chris afterward and he said that he thought that the show was a lot better than he expected it to be. Only problem with the show was that their t-shirts were in a locker at a bus station somewhere.

I've been trying to find some Sub Pop items by some of my favorite bands
and have had little success even up here in Seattle.  If anyone has any
of the following items, I will pay well for them.

SP013 Blood Circus "Two Way Street" 7"

SP016 The Fluid "Clear Black Paper" LP

SP019 Tad "Daisy" 7"

SP023 Nirvana "Love Buzz" 7"

SP027 Tad "God's Balls" LP

SP047 Skin Yard 7"

SP055 Tad "Loser" 7"

SP058 L7 7"

SP086 Poison Idea 7"

SP087 Freewheelin' Mark Arm 7"

SP125 The Supersuckers "Like a Big Fuckin' Train" 7"

SP135 Love Battery "Foot" 7"

SP168 Seaweed "Measure" 7"

SP170 The Supersuckers "Hell City, Hell" 7"

I'll pay really well (IMO) for SP013, SP016, SP047, and SP087.

I also have some extra copies of old SP stuff hanging around that I would
be willing to trade.

If you have any of these, e-mail me at bill@booster.u.washington.edu

  Using the term "noise-metal" equates the music with Metallica, or 
Megedeth, or maybe even GnR.  Do we _really_ want that?  The music 
deserves it's own 'label' -- it shouldn't just be a spin-off from 
some other musical genre.  Grunge has its own distinct personality, 
and from the look of it, the whole thing is quickly becoming some sort 
of a subculture.

Hi.  I was wondering if there are any Bill Pritchard fans out there?  I've
got a couple of his albums, and was wondering what other stuff he has, and
how easy it is to find.

The stuff I have is:

  Half a Million (LP)
  Three Months, Three Weeks, and Two Days (CD)
  Tommy and Co. (4 song CD)

I believe he has at least two other albums out, although I've had a hard time
tracking them down.  The local Tower has a 3 song CD import for "Number 5".
Is this single from an actual full length CD?  A discography and/or leads on
picking up his other stuff would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

Also, I was wondering if anyone has heard news about what David Sylvian
is doing currently?  Is there an e-mail fan list for him?  Just
curious.

Brent

p.s.  One more thing...I'm sort of looking for a CD version of the Rave-Ups
"Book of Your Regrets".  Anyone seen it around for cheap?  Thanks again.

Ok, here we go:

1) Dinosaur - Sort of roughly produced, but classic J Mascis.  I think some
  of their best stuff was on this album (Repulsion is a great tune!).  But
  a lot of folks are turned off by this one.

2) You're Living All Over Me - To me this is indestinguishable  from Bug.  I 
  got both of them at the same time and really like both of them.  A definite

3)  Bug - enuff said

4)  Green Mind - Some good songs but inferior to earlier work (IMHO), still, I
  like it.  Worth having.

5) Whatever's Cool With Me (ep) - I wish I had not bought this.

There are several other ep's whose names escape me at the moment, but the one
with the Frampton cover and the Cure cover is great.  Best of luck!

a chance to see...

BR>show? (in early June)  The Saints (even without E.K.) are great.  I haven't

Chris Bailey has at least four solo albums.  Two were done when The Saints
existed ("What we did on our holidays" and another one I can't think of right
now).  Two others were done after Prodigal Son: "Demons" and "Savage
Entertainment".

I can't recommend "What we did on our holidays" as most of it IMO lousy.
If I were you, I'd go with "Savage Entertainment" which is good.

"Demons" is a rather dark album, and at times depressing.  It's O.K., but
it's not as good as what Ed Kuepper has been doing.
