   From the adjectives I've heard on the net lately to desribe the new
album ("mellow," "startling," "dark," etc.), you may be disappointed.
I _definitely_ wouldn't expect "It's the End of the World As We Know
It, Part Two!"

   IMHO, the adjectives sound promising.  We'll soon find out, won't we?

It was this whole discussion on moshing (slamming, whathaveyou) becoming

I got to check out Echo & the Bunnymen with their new lineup on Monday,
September 7th, at Pink's Garage, Honolulu, Hawaii.  I never got to hear
the Reverberation album, so I didn't know what to expect. . . Even without
Ian's voice, they were unmistakably Echo-sounding.  The Door's influence
really came through in their live show.  In their 1 1/2 hour set (including
2 encores) it seemed everything they played, except 2 songs (Seven Seas and
Over the Wall), was from Reverberation and from an upcoming album (maybe?).
Although some people wanted to hear Lips Like Sugar (shouting "Sugar!"),
they stuck to the new stuff and I was absorbing all of it.  IMHO, the new
Bunnymen kicked ass!

With only two original members, it seems that a lot of people are dismissing
Echo and the Bunnymen.  It's just like they are starting all over again.
I don't think they have an identity crisis without Ian.  They didn't seem
bothered when someone was yelling "Where's Ian?!"

I believe the solo stuff is extremely good.  Juliana is just a great musician.
I talked to Gary Smith (producer of the Pixies/Throwing Muses/Juliana...),
and he was telling me that she's going on a tour with her new band.  Another
new band of his, Apollo Landing is opening.  Which I might add, are pretty
good themselves, I saw them open for the Muses in Aug.  Apollo Landing will
then be opening for Belly's (tanya donnelly's new band) tour in the late fall.

For those of you who missed empty vee's 120 Minutes last night
ol' Dave Kendall said that Killing Joke is bringing Cobain and

intros to KJ's "Eighties" and Nirvana's "Come As You Are."  KJ
bassist Paul Raven said something to the effect of "Killing
Joke will get the last laugh in court" or something like that.

Sort of surprises me that Boston didn't sue Nirvana earlier for
the fairly well publicized similarities concerning
the guitar riffs for "More Than A Feeling" and
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" if KJ is going to do so.

	opening act.  Closest subway stop: Lechmere on the green line.  There
	is a parking garage but it is expensive.  If the mall does what it

The Buzzcocks toured here (Australia) a couple of months ago. Unfortunately theywere hardly promoted in Melbourne, so not many people turned up - but those that did had a fantastic time! They played heaps of new stuff (I counted about 12
in total) and all the classics. Apparently they are having problems getting a record deal, which is a great pity as I'd love to hear some of the new stuff again. Four of the new tracks were released on a 12" EP a couple of years ago called "Alive Tonight" (the title of one of the Steve Diggle tracks on it). I didn't buy it cos I was waiting for a CD release...no such luck. 
I also read a few months ago (in Q magazine) of an official release of the Time's Up bootleg album on CD. Has anybody seen this yet??

Man you aren't kidding.  I love them.  As far as I know DKFA isn't available on
CD.  The closest it comes is "Morissey Rides a Cockhorse" CD EP.  As a matter
of fact I just ordered it and it should be here next week.  I don't know what
or if, anything else is on it so we'll have to wait and see.  It cost $9.75.
Tupelo Records is the label this one's on.  DKFA is on Boner Records though.

Last semester I posted an article asking for the lyrics to the Circusized 
Peanuts album and never got a response.  So if anyone  has them and can email 
them to me I would be greatly indebted.  Hell they're funny enough to make
posting them worthwhile.
