[][][][][][][][][][] Date: Tue, 11 Mar 86 08:48:47 est From: Knight of the Iguana Subject: Re: Buttholes and Record Contracts Well You know what Mr. Mayhem and Confusion in Maryland, I have a story that will give you an answer to your question. When I worked with the awesome teen-pop combo, those Screaming Igunas in Love, the main maniac (know as Dr. Obvious) decided we needed some more exposure, so a few of our songs were sent to the newspaper in orlando, as well as a florida music magazine (city-paper-ish, but not as trendy, more rock and roll drivvel), and actually someone called him and wanted to come down and talk to us. The dr. was very excited, he was gathering blenders at a furious rate and preparing for an interview that would blow his mind more than any amount of LSD could do. When the dude showed up (he reminds me of a JD considine look-alike), we talked for awhile, then he said he couldn't write the article about us because "Our band name was not suitable for a family publication and if we had a better name we would be more popular". When we said why, he could not elaborate. HOWEVER, he said he could write the article for the muswank magazine, but "we would have to pay him to convince the editor it was worthwhile." At this point another member, Lt. Cryptic left to go get 'more beer'. Instead he dumped a good dose of sugar down the dude's gas tank. We told the to f*ck off, he split, got 5 miles down the road when his car fucked stop operating. He ended up hitchiking the 50 or 60 miles back to Orlando. We were also refused studio time because the studio owner 'didnt like our name'. >"But they'd be good if they didn't have such a bad name!" "How >so?" I reply. "Well, they'd get a big record contract". My question to those people is "Why does the name decide whether a band is good or not ???" Then I would kick them out the back door, as long as you had a lean, german sheperd to clean them up. Those people are a dime a dozen.

Lippard" Subject: Mike Oldfield CDs Reply-To: Lippard@MULTICS.MIT.EDU Are there any others besides Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, Platinum, QE2, Five Miles Out, Crises, Discovery, The Killing Fields soundtrack, The Complete Mike Oldfield, and Oldfield Wonderland? Are any his albums not on CD besides Incantations and Exposed? Jim (Lippard at MIT-MULTICS.ARPA) [][][][][][][][][][] From: seismo!cmcl2!floyd!stolaf!robertsl (Roberts, Laurence C.) Date: Mon, 10 Mar 86 18:45:59 cst Subject: Camper Von Beethoven I got a letter in the mail from Independent Project Records today. I'd written them concerning the Camper Von Beethoven record Telephone Independent Landslide Victory. Most of their records are real fancy jobs with hand-printed (that is, printed with some sort of fancy printing press) sleeves. Now, this Camper Von Beethoven record is sold out of the letterpress-printed editions, and what's available is the offset-printed ones. There's no different price listed for the supposedly cheaper offset-printed edition, and I was wondering if anyone could clarify this for me. I've been listening to the Cocteau Twins' Tiny Dinamine for the past couple of months. (no, it wasn't my first exposure to them...snobs.) Is anyone else annoyed by what appears to be a slight case of tape bleed? Didn't someone say this recording is a couple of years old? On the song "Plain Tiger", I could swear Liz is saying "After the task of adding up" at one point, and at another is saying quite loudly and distinctly, "You suck!" Does anyone have any interpretations of these guys' lyrics, or confirmation of the Greek rumor.
