Randomness: This fortune soaks up 47 times its own weight in excess memory.

Love and Rockets just released "Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven" on another
label (possibly domestic) and the new release contains the U.S. remix of
"Ball of Confusion" on it, though no songs were removed for it to be there.
If you already have the album, apparently there is another version of the
12" single of "Ball of Confusion" that has the US Re-mix on it.  The order
number for it, from Beggars Banquet records, is BEG 132 TP.  The 12" single
without the remix is BEG 132 T.  The B-Side to the "If There's a Heaven
Above" single is called "God and Mr. Smith", if the sleeve that came with
my Bauhaus 1979-1983 record is correct.

About Tones on Tail, their first album (the compilation of their first 3
EPs) is called (surprise, surprise) "Tones on Tail."  There are 3 songs on
"Pop" that aren't on "The Album Pop", and vice-versa.  The 3 songs that
are not on "Pop" are available on EPs.  The reverse is not true.  Still,
it's cheaper to buy the album of "The Album Pop" that it is to buy the
2 EPs, unless you can find the 7" singles.  However, if you are a fan
of novelty items, as I am, you may want to buy the 12" singles, as I know
that the 12" of Christian Says is on blue vinyl.  I suspect that the 12"
of Lions is on red vinyl.  But, if you're on a budget, and you want all of
Tones on Tail's songs at the lowest price, here's what to get:

Tones on Tail - Situation Two records - SITU 12
'Pop' - Beggars Banquet - BEGA 51
The Album Pop - sorry, no label or order number
Performance / Shakes - Beggars Banquet - BEG 106 (T)

Nuff said,

Randomness: The world is coming to an end...  SAVE YOUR BUFFERS!!

I just picked up the "Lions" 12" single and yes, it's on red vinyl.  It
also poses a problem to those of you who want all of Tones on Tail's
songs without buying all of the 12-inches.  The version of "Go" that's
on this single is the Club mix, so, if you really want EVERY song they've
released, you have to buy The Album Pop AND the Lions single.  Then again,
maybe the 7-inch single has the original version of "Go!"

Hmmm.

Anyway, the order number for the 12" is BEG 104 T and the 7" is BEG 104

On another subject...

My friend just got this FABULOUS R.E.M. live bootleg called "We Are Having
a Heavenly Time!"  It was recorded live at Page Auditorium, wherever that
is, and has the following songs:

7 Chinese Bros.

Catapult
Radio Free Europe
Khoetek
Letters Never Sent
So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry)
Driver 8
(don't go back to) Rockville
Carnival of Sorts (Box Car)
Hyena - New track
Old Man Kensey
Second Guessing

The sound quality is absolutely great.  It sounds like a very profession-
ally recorded live album.  It has a message on the side, saying:

THIS FAN CLUB ALBUM IS NOT INTENDED FOR SALE,
COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION OR AIR PLAY.
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
ENTIRE CONTENTS AND PACKAGING (C) 1985 P.F.M. RECORDS
A DIVISION OF W.B.S.(SPECIAL PRODUCTS)
COVER PRINTED IN U.S.A.

I found this interesting.  Anyway, he got it for 16 bucks.  Not bad for a
great bootleg.

Later,

Subject: Bauhaus/ToT/Love and Rockets (also Math Bats)



Being a rabid Bauhaus addict, I was pretty mad when they broke up. I
picked up POP! a year ago but was rather disappointed. I liked some of
the songs like Slender Fungus, Rain and Real Life, but they sounded
a little like redone Bauhaus classics like Slice of Life or Silent Hedges,
but without Peter Murphy's powerful voice to give the music focus.
I wasn't expecting to warm up to Love and Rockets, but the few songs
I've heard so far I've really liked, in particular the intricate non-
Bauhaus guitar work.

Does anyone know when Peter Murphy's solo album will be out? I've seen
a few 12"s (and of course The Light Pours Out of Me) and a small picture
of what might be the album cover (on the Beggar's Banquet compilation).

I got curious about the Indiana band Math Bats after Greg Earle's
query awhile back, and after some poking around found their mini-album.
(I bought the store copy; they weren't carrying the things anymore.)
No label is listed, tho the songs are supposedly copyright BMI. The
music is pretty uneven. The most interesting passages sound like
nice Pornography-era Cure with more rough edges, but there are some
repetitive and unruly instrumental parts. I'll certainly try to hear
these guys when they come into town.

This is a reiteration of a prior message concerning the Funhouse album
by Iggy and the Stooges.  
I was relatively shocked when I saw mention of Funhouse in the Love-Hounds
Digest.  With all the talk of current stuff, I was taken aback by the mention
of a 1970 album (especially as 'The Geratest of All time'), well, actually
I am quite fond of that album and even though I don't consider it near the
bottom of my top 50 list.  It is, in my memory, however, the most erotic
album to trip by which I ever heard.  I can remember a discussion with
friends when it was released concerning twe thought) obvious intention
of the album to get the whole world balling in beat.  Are you out there
Gary Gray.
Anyway, since the subject came up, for the last 16 or so years I have been
]trying to decipher the lyrics to DIRT on that LP (this happens at least once
a year when I play the album).  I would, therefore, appreciate it if anyone
has acurately deciphered them to send them to me so I can finally find
out what happened to Iggy after He'd been HURT and didn't care.

Thanks

with all this chit-chat about Wire and Colin Newman, I want to know
wheter or not I should buy Colin Newman's album 'The Singing Fish'.
It's only 3.50 from wayside, and since i have a good number of $$ in
credit, I might as well use it up.  Comments ??

--Funhouse OW! what an album !!! can't get enough of it myself, even though
  it was put out in 1970...

ACTually, I heard later that one of the members of the B. S. 
has a children in adult jails sticker in their guitar cases ... so
THEY have heard them ... don't know if they smiled that night as
they were reportadly setting their hands on fire and beating on

I'm still looking!  (actually this is in reference to the crossword

Hey let's take bets on whether this Rowly dude who flamed mod.music
(i.e. love-hounds) is really Palena on another account.  He probably
is too afraid to stand behind his own lame opinions so has to hide
behind an alias.  [Since we all know you are reading this Larry, you
can reply with collaborating evidence to the contrary (assuming there
is any) that you are in fact NOT Rowly ... oh, and stay lame, dude]

Does anyone have info on:

	Couch Flambeau
	Flaming Lips (from Oklahoma, I think)?

I haven't heard anything from Couch Flambeau, but their reviews sound pretty
interesting. The only Flaming Lips I've heard is at Rough Trade in SF.
Some clever guitar noise, tho quite different from my current obsessions
Sonic Youth...

Speaking of Rough Trade, what's the right address to write to? I wrote their
store in San Francisco but still haven't got my catalog after many weeks...

I saw them here in Berkeley over xmas -- they opened for Wall of BooBoo.
Pretty fun guys ... I hear they've put on MUCH better shows, but they
wound up doing some 60's and 70's "hits", and even an impromptu Doors
track that 'split-muh-seams' ... The lead singer was on the edge
of lyrangitis (sp?) and remarked "If this voice goes, then
we're just gonna hafta do some shitty instrumentals, so WATCH OUT" ...
