There's a CD of his stuff--'Music for a Darkened Theatre' that came out in 
'90. It includes movie themes he did (Batman, Beetlejuice, Darkman, Dick Tracy,
etc..), but it has the music from 'Face Like a Frog', a great animated short
by Sally Crukshank...and the 'Tales From the Crypt' theme. I do like his stuff,
but I agree that sometimes it's hard to tell which song it is... :^)

If you can find the Surfer Rosa/Come on Pilgrim CD... Since Rough Trade went
under, the new distributor has divided the CD into it's component parts.
Way to make for $$ too.  I got my SR/CoP Cd for $12, now you have to get SR
for $12 and CoP for $9...

Has anyone heard of the Pixies Peel sessions being released?  I read a blurb
in some CD News pamphlet at a local store, think it was called Gigantic,
but that might of been a boot.

I took another look at my album sleeve, and I think you're right.

BTW, "being carefully, correctly wrong" threw me off for a long time too.
The p/r thing is a little hard to catch.

Ok, a question to Shriekback fans out there:  I have the albums Oil & Gold, Big
Night Music, and Go Bang!, of which IMO Oil & Gold is clearly the best,
although BNM has good stuff on it too.  I don't particularly care for GB!

What should be the next album I get?
(There was a post a while ago, stating that he/she thought that Oil & Gold was
Shriekback's second best album, but I forgot what the BEST one was supposed to
be...ooops.)

How about it...EMAIL me your suggestions and I'll post a summary of the
results.       ^^^^^

Could be Forgotten Rebels, the Canadian punk treasure.  They do the song.  I 
thought it was a cover.  It's on 'In Love With the System' or the other 
album I have but can't remember the name of.  Anyway, they make really good 
music.  Lighthearted punky dancy stuff, with very interesting ultra-ironic 
political lyrics.  I usually hate political lyrics, but theirs are weird 
enough to be appealing (to me).

Well, do you have Frankie Goes To Hollywood's first album?  That's got some
pretty risque stuff, especially "The Ballad of 32;" that's probably what
you're looking for.  Halfway through, you get very sensual breathing and
under-her-breath words from a woman who's either a good actress, or is
getting packed in the studio.  It's a great song.

SEXPLOSION is great, but if you like Sex on Wheelz, check out TKK's  
CDs, "Confessions of a Knife" and "Kooler Than Jesus".  SEXPLOSION is

Just wondering what they sounded like; in an interview they said
something about "the ultimate disco album" but a friend says they're a
sort of Pixies/Throwing Muses mishmash.

If yer interested, they've just acquired Kim's sister, which gives them
three female guitar/vocalists.

yeah. good choice of words. but i would modify it and say that the folky

i was really impressed with this magazine and the music.

their address to subscribe:

it says one year is $25 and 2 years are $40,

Hey, it's not easy for a young punk who used to live under a bridge and get

Yeah, but a lot of those fans are teeny boppers who go to their show for that
song alone expecting a concert along the lines of Marky Mark/New Kids, and
those are the people they DON'T WANT at their shows. If I ever see them live,
I hope they play the song, but I can understand them not wanting to play it.
Hell, I couldn't stand listening to it for a while I was so nauseated by it.

Actually, I find the attitude refreshing. This is the attitude that punk(or
whatever you want to call it) was built on. It's the attitude of someone who
is doing what they want to do without caring what anyone else thinks about it.

BTW, if you believe this is Kurt's attitude, at least you know he isn't a 
sellout.

Trip Shakespeare sounds like the typical Minneapolis garage band mixed with 
a dosage of pop.  Over the 
last couple of years they've achieved a decent following in the minneapple.
With songs titled "Tool Master of Brainerd" for example.

I'd categorize them as a pop like sound, tongue in cheek lyrics, where it helps 
to be a minnesotan to get the jokes. three guitarists (one of them a singer)  
and a drummer.  If you've never seen them it'd be worth it (but not for the
$10 they've begun charging in the local clubs)
