Didn't they split up once already? I thought that J Mascis album "Martin & Me" was the start of his solo career and Dinosaur Jr was no more.. Personally, I don't mind Green Mind that much, but after that everything got hopelessly dull.

OK, I seem to gett slagged as soon as i open my mouth on this list, but has anyone seen Kent on the current tour? Reviews - good or bad? So the album seems to be a bit on the melancholic/slow side, but have they slowed down live as well? What i remeber from Lollipop and Waterfestival, they still were good on stage, but maybe not anymore??? They're playing in Sthlm tonite...

It's nice to hear some opinions from outta Estonia on the music here. And I have to confess the comparison to Doris Days is a perfect one. I only heard Doris Days about a week ago and, perfectly, just after a bunch of recent Bizarre songs. There had been some talk of DD around and everybody seemed to compare them to Bizarre, only it was said to be better, it was said to be fantastic. Well I really didn't think so, and had some trouble trying to express my thoughts to some friends convinced in the absolute genius of DD. Bizarre vs DD - more moody, more melodic. More interesting. More music. However, I have a problem with the male vocal of Bizarre, I don't agree with the common attitude, that the "indie-sound" of a man's voice compensates for his lack of melody. But it is only a tiny scratch on Bizarre, the best recent band of Estonia. "Cafe de Flor" is to my mind the best of Bizarre, there are some (un)released more recent songs that are better, but on the other hand some of them are more experimental, more technical, less music. "Barcode Warriors" and "Laizy Sun" are not meant here, though. "Sue Darling is Back to Meet Forwards" is the best compilation up to date of the Estonian indie, and would be found worth listening by most of the list-members, I think. I hope Lauri Liivak or smb. else will soon find a way to bring the compilation as well as Bizarre to the wide world, perhaps at least the list members. The compilation is on tape because of the lack of funds to make a CD. I don't know if the problem is the post- or pre-production management, if it is difficult to produce the CDs or to sell them. CD is well-accepted by the listeners in Estonia though. Siim ps. There is a rumor of Bizarre having some sort of possibility of a record deal with some sort of bigger overseas record company. There is not much more on this one, but I hope for the best. siimk@ut.ee ----------------------------- Date: Fri, 5 Dec 1997 13:36:26 +0100 From: "Claes Nordling" Subject: Kent at MTV Music Awards - & an Eestii request Hi I saw them when they played at MTV Music Awards at NK. And they were brilliant. It³s like they³ve never changed but liked you³ve never heard it before. The new songs sounds similar to everything what they³ve done before. But they were very happy to play and it was a good performance with delishious new stuff. A smaller success. The estonian people: What happend to the band who called themself something like J.M.F.K.D with Virru on vocals. They had a hit with Tere Perestrojka ! I like to buy that album, cause I met them at Summerrock 93³ but at the end I had no time to buy thier album !!!

But Almhult have never been a good town for live acts. The only band that people ever wanted to see cause of the band it self, was creeps... that no one outside Almhult have wanted to see for 5 years or so... Just hope that there will be more people when Bob Hund will play here this forthcoming wendsday. j.nilsson ----------------------------- Date: Fri, 5 Dec 1997 15:59:36 +0100 From: j.sundstrom@ekuc.se (Jan Sundstrom) Subject: Re: Kent + London (non-scan) > From: totte.pop@swipnet.se (Totte Pop) > >> Yeah.

Umm, i tried to call the venue but i just came to some switchboard, and they told me there was no other number. Hrrmph! They were totally reluctant to give any info whatsoever, and didn't know a thing about where to get tickets.

Any other recent testimonies (sp?) from London??? Well, I was in London a few weeks ago. Unfortunately there weren't any worthwile concerts that week. OK, Pram played, but I've seen them before. As for record shops, there's a lot to choose from. There's no need to buy expensive new albums at the mega stores on Oxford Street, since there are so many great second hand shops to choose among. It's always nice to stroll down Berwick Street in Soho, as there are (at least) four good stores virtually lined up one after another: SelectaDisc, Reckless Records, Sister Ray, and Ambient Soho. Especially Reckless has an excellent assortment of used CDs, and expect to pay no more than 8-9 pounds - and often less, since they downprice the albums on a regular basis if they aren't sold. Though my favourite is Record & Music Exchange at Notting Hill Gate. The upstair's room is loaded with rare stuff... prices are often on the steep side, but sometimes you can make good finds. They have extremely rare vinyls by bands like Current 93 and Whitehouse that goes for several hundred pounds. My favourite object there is the Psychic TV promotional bronze dildo with an inscription by Genesis P-Orridge, that goes for something like ú1000... it's been there for as long as I can remember. I'll buy it if I win on BingoLotto. The Rough Trade stores are always worth a visit too, although they don't carry used records. The one on Talbot Road, just off Portobello Road, is the best one. It has everything you ever could ask for into techno, trance, avantgarde, experimental, japnoise, lo-fi, post-rock, etc, but don't bother if all you're looking for is the latest offering by Oasis. Now for something related to Kent: I have a vinyl copy of their second album, 'Verkligen', up for grabs if someone's interested. It's a ltd edition (don't remember exactly how many though) and it's autographed by all band members. I listened to it once, and didn't like it particulary much. Basically I just want my money back, so even though it's a collector's item I won't ask for anything exorbitant. Reply to me in private if you're a potential buyer. Thank you for your time, Marten ----------------------------- Date: Fri, 5 Dec 1997 12:30:54 EST From: Cardigans1 Subject: Re: Re: Kent here's an American's vote for Kent.

I don't even like him very much. i didnt get that impressed by the gig in gothenburg. maybe due to the fact that i havent got money enough to buy the last album, so it wasnt that many songs i'd heard before. and it was far too short with less than an hour for the most expensive gig ive ever been to, 255 kr is close to a rip-off in my opinion. compared with radiohead in lund a few weeks ago that costs 175kr. but ok im from smaland ;o) jerker ----------------------------- Date: Sun, 7 Dec 1997 22:19:55 +0200 (EET) From: Timo Riitamaa Subject: Re: Circle - Hissi ?

Circle started on the one and only emperor of weirdness, the finnish Bad Vugum label. they stepped on it by releasing a few of 7"s on Vugum (Point & Silver) and on the american equally legendary fuzz/drone label VHF (Armond, which has almost the same songs as Point. this was a very limited release with ’ber-kool hand made cover artwork and transparent vinyl) and one 7" on a label that i have forgotten because most of my brain cells have been destroyed by rock'n roll. after that two albums on Vugum; Meronia and Zopalki, of which Zopalki is quite grande... then a few split 7"s with various bands (atleast the Psychoplasma /Circle split is well worth cheking)... first full-lenght on the Metamorphos label was Hissi, but what they've done after that i don't know, since they've started sounding too constructed for my taste, and i've become a drone pervert spending hours laying on the floor listening to Flying Saucer Attack, Bardo Pond, Jessamine, Roy Mongomery, Dead C., Amid The Mimic, Loren MazzaCane Connors and such... unless i'm ofcourse listening to Guided By Voices or anything that you could imagine playing at the Holidays In Hawaii tours.

Do you mean pretty mainstream as in Live and Matcbox 20 or pretty mainstream as in Sebadoh and John Spencer Blues Explosion... or pretty mainstream as in you own original copies of Guided By Voices' Forever Since Breakfast and Pavement's Slay Tracks, but don't really see what's cool about Merzbow, Natisuta Hetekata or Dead C? .... hmmm...... Just search and kill for 22 Pistepirkko - Rumble City LaLa Land Larry And The Lefthanded - Diabolica Bob Hund - Omslag: Martin Kann and you've got a good start. 22 Pistepirkko and Larry And The Lefthanded are finnish, Bob Hund is swedish. their releases are quite impossible to find from the americas, but will make you float on an aural pillow of un-earthly rawk & roll, not to even mention all the cool indie-chicks who can't keep their hands off of you... many friendly scnadinavain indie-rockers will be happy to help you aquire these grande releases through private sources.
