So many questions finally answered. It kinda made me think "could I possibly listen to the complete 4AD output (first ten years, of course) chronologically?" I mean, I don't have every 4AD release, but what with all the re-releases and stuff I thought I'd give it a shot. I've been cross-referencing with the eyesore database, and I picked 1986 as a first attempt. Man, that was a great year: http://eyesore.no/html/year/1986.html But perhaps I should start at 1980, although that might be more difficult. Do I even have the Bearz tracks anywhere? Hm... somebody needs to set up the Complete 4AD Chronological Radio. I'm sure it'll get ... listeners. Dozens. Perhaps. -- -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi <at> gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen ------------------------------------

Heh, if you don't have the Bearz tracks, they're available in most places digitally... http://www.4ad.com/bearz/releases/shes-my-girl-0/ and if you don't want to buy, they're up on Spotify... as should be most stuff we do. http://open.spotify.com/album/58myw7dU8I4Ok1bzgAyxmu ------------------------------------

I bought all the three available Axis singles. They're cheap, too. I recently moved to a new (bigger) flat, so I have lots on unadorned wall space here. I was being inspired by all this to flip through my 4AD vinyl, and started envisioning an entire wall filled with 23 Envelope/v23 LP/12" covers. There's a lot of stuff I don't have on vinyl, but I see 4AD has started re-issuing some key albums on vinyl again, so I've picked up a few of those, as well as trolling ebay.co.uk for old vinyl. Quite a lot of the 80s stuff can be picked up for 3-4 pounds, apparently. Perhaps it would make more sense to stop by a used record store the next time I'm in London... Anybody know of any good ones? The Wall of Vaughan will happen. Unless I get distracted by, er, stuff.

Interview over at Pitchfork... http://pitchfork.com/news/35091-kim-and-kelley-deal-talk-new-breeders-ep-self-sufficiency-and-the-pixies/ Pitchfork: Why did you decide to release this EP yourselves? Kim Deal: We had the four songs, and we were doing All Tomorrow's Parties over in England. So we had some songs, and we thought, well, let's put out a song. Let's put out two songs. Let's put it out, and we can make it available for download, or we can promo it. Then it's like, wait a minute, we can make a 7''. Or you know what would be cooler? If we made an EP. Three songs isn't a good EP, so then we threw on the cover [of Bob Marley's "Chances Are"]. That's four songs; that's 15 minutes. That's a pretty good-sized EP. I think I have a knack for manufacturing. So if you ever need anything manufactured, just call me, because I think I have quite a touch. Pitchfork: OK, I will. Were these all songs you had laying around? You recorded them all in different places. Kelley Deal: For some reason, last summer [Kim] got this huge burst of... She's writing on drugs again. No, just teasing. Last summer, she started writing some songs, and we started accumulating songs. We were just writing. You never say, "That's one record," so I'm done with music until magically the next album drops in my lap. You accumulate enough music for one album and you just continue writing. Pitchfork: You cover a Bob Marley song. It's a surprising choice for you guys, but it came out beautifully. Kelley: Oh, good. That's good. We were worried about that. Pitchfork: Why were you worried about it? Kim (in the background): Because it's vulnerable. It's just me you on guitar, singing pretty. Kelley: It is a vulnerable way to go with that. Bob Marley has all these reggae cats and all these huge fucking joints lying around, and the wine be flowing. I think they did that track, then dubbed drums afterwards, then put reverb on the entire track. We had done that song a couple different ways. Since 2000, we've been(Continue reading)
The bit that leapt off the page for me...! Kim: No, we were off 4AD after Title TK. And then we had Mountain Battles, and it's like, well, we'll do it on 4AD. But that was a one-off.

at ridiculous o'clock, I'm afraid - but Jane Pollard and Iain Forsyth have done a lovely Camera Obscura documentary, which is being shown tonight on Channel 4 at 00.55 - it's approx 15 minutes long... I'll be fast asleep, but hopefully 4oD will have it up tomorrow, I'm not sure if it has territorial restrictions (ie, if you'll be able to see it outside the UK). So I'm just pre-warning you all, so you can set your videos or whatever you record things on nowadays! http://www.channel4.com/tv-listings ------------------------------------
