Best song on the CD is a Rolling Stones cover, though. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 09 Mar 2003 14:05:31 -0500 From: Jenny Grover Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Launch Vallor wrote: >VL's Larry Crane publishes a mag called Tape Op now and recorded some of >Elloit Smith stuff including Miss Misery from Good Will Hunting as I recall. > > Tape Op is very cool, if you're at all interested in home recording, and you can sign up on their website for a free subscription. The disclaimer is that it may not arrive on time, or you might miss an issue or something, but my free sub has been quite satisfactory for a long time now.

I give Michael Quercio enough credit to avoid dumb misspellings. For what it's worth, THE JUPITER EFFECT [sic] was a late-'70s/early-'80s bestseller by one John R. Gribbin, prediciting, if memory serves, devastation on earth as a result of a certain planetary alignment occurring around that time. This may (or may not) be the same idea as the 1984 film THE JUPITER MENACE (soundtrack by Synergy!). > Also, how does one pronounce "The Aislers Set" and where's the name > from? Can't help with the pronounciation, but the following link suggests that leader Amy Linton had a dream with those words in it: http://www.epitonic.com/artists/theaislersset.html Interesting to note that the Set traces its roots to something called Henry's Dress, from Stewart's old neck of the woods. Henry's Dress is described by two different sources as "noise-pop." Unless that means something close to Liliput or Stereo Total, I guess I'd have to hear it to comprede.

Nah, Henry's Dress were more like the Softies plus a drummer and a taste for feedback. They were *great*. An HD song called "All This Time For Nothing" is a regular guest on my mix tapes/CDs. Amy Linton was also in Go Sailor, a band that some here might remember with fondness. > >So, can anyone tell me how to pronounce the Pepys in Samuel? I've always heard it pronounced "Peeps," as in those icky Easter thingies.

Last week at work, we got an unusual promotional solicitation. Remember, I work at an indie distribution warehouse. We get tons of stuff everyday by folks looking for distribution, but in my 20 years in the biz, I've never seen the likes of this. Some rap label sent us 2 cd's a video tape (which isn't unusual), but also a brand new 9" color t.v with built-in vcr, in which to view the video! On the t.v. was a giant sticker that read: "For promotional use only. Please destroy after use." After the shock and excitement wore off, I started to get pissed off. Not only did the set not work, we are now burdened with the task of properly disposing this t.v..Great.I'm glad someone out there has $ for promotion but please. I'd rather have a line of coke. At least you can flush that down the toilet. :) Gil (turns out the music was horrible.They sampled that old "Witchdoctor" song that goes "ooh-e-ohh-ah-ah-ding-dang-dolly-wholly-ding-dong" or whatever.
