	Strange that you would see 'bossanova' as the weakest PIXIES album.  Seems 
to me that 'Trompe le monde' (and what is that french, anyway?  "don't step 
on my ice cream?")  is a natural progression in the band's musical form 
that started with their first album.  Both Black Francis and Kim (may I 
please kiss you full-hard on the lips) Deal continually say in interviews 
that they want a slicker sound, not because of a sell-out, but because they 
got sick of sounding like a garage band.  'Bossanova' seems like a 
calculated break from their earlier, harsher, ear splitting, gall bladder 
bombasting, et al. . .sound on the three previous releases.  If they got a 
little too sweet and waifish on 'bossanova', 'Trompe le Monde' is an 
accurate correction in course.  Long live the Pixies, buy all of their 
albums, and if anyone hears of them playing near Storm Lake, IA (hell, its 
worth a shot, they write songs about Nevada!)--PLEASE DROP A NOTE.
	Amen.

p.s. this isn't, by the way, Carla (the RAVISHING Carla) on line.

She was canned from the group when they decided to make a real play for hip-hop glory. Don't remember her name (think it was last name Crawford).

I wouldn't go so far as to say we ALL agreed Cracker's album was "superb."
Granted, even I said the album was pretty good, and I think I was the
harshest critic. But don't speak for everyone, especially considering there
was a grand total (approx.) of three or four people on the thread, not
exactly the kind of size to influence the masses.
In any case, this response is totally moot, and probably bordering on anal,
so just go out and buy the record.  <Insert nasty remark about

Brix is from Chicago.  My understanding is that she was on the periphery  
of the Chicago punk scene, although I never met her others I knew sort of  
knew of her pre-Mark.  Not sure of the U of C connection, although I seem  
to recall she is from Hyde Park (a part of Chicago) which is about the  
same thing.  They are now split...unless they got back together and I  
didn't hear about it.  They have both been in Chicago at various times.  I  
about knocked Mark over one night at Neo (a club) as I was rushing in and  
they were rushing out.  A true brush with fame.

Cain't believe I'm jumpin into the fray, but I find Nirvana's attitude a little refreshing after too many rock stars.

Admittedly, I am a little tired of listening to Nevermind, and even Bleach, but I am not offended that three goof-offs from Washington don't want my adulation. I'm glad that they piss their fans off - a little creative, and healthy, anarchy and anger never hurt anyone.

Funny you should mention this--I just heard it last night on 103.3 in Des
Moines, Ia.  Spooky boys and girls, spoooky.
Anyway, the DJ played it in the middle of a Nirvana block so it blended right in
until I noticed the lyrics.  I think it's call "Smell Like Nirvana"

Subject: Name that tune...
Date: 13 Apr 92 03:35:17 GMT
Organization: UB

Hi,

I am looking to find the name of an artist/song.

It's a woman, singing a somewhat folkish (Gaelic-sounding?) tune 
that has "modern sounding" rock-n-roll style production.  It is 
probably a new (or somewhat recent) release, as it was played on 
[Toronto's alternative rock station] CFNY's "modern music report".

The vocalist sounds very slightly like Sarah McLaughlin (sp?) but
the music is less ethereal than the stuff I've heard by her.  It 
also has a synthesized sitar-like sound in the mix.

The chorus has the following phrase in it:

	"I can see the lights in the distance,
	 <something something something> "  :-)

Any ideas about who this is, and what song?  I'd really like to get this,
but the DJ didn't announce it.

Thanks,

Actually I heard a better parody of Smells Like Teen Spirit back
during Spring Break last month.  It was called Smells Like Rice
Krispees.  It was funny as Hell... At first I wonder if something
was wrong with the radio (cause it was rather poor quality).
I don't know if it was a nation-wide thing or just something
WDVE in Pittsburgh whipped up for the fun of it.

Sekiri is an all-woman Japanese hardcore band which I saw playing at
Lounge Axe about a month ago.  They were real impressive (ie damn
loud and harsh) but I didn't have the cash on me to buy the CDs they
were selling at the door.  I think that they were on a very limited
North American tour with perhaps only three or four other stops.  I'd
like to hear from anyone else who saw them and has an opinion, or
who knows more about the band.  Especially good would be hearing from
any Japanese fans.  (I understand that hardcore in general, and Sekiri
in particular, are at least reasonably popular in Japan.)

	Considering the number of bands that have quit on him, I would
