Really-From: IED0DXM%UCLAMVS.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU Well, IED attended, at Mr. Traynor's request, Henry Rollins's performance on UCLA campus last night. Rollins was very funny. IED doesn't wish to take anything away from Rollins -- he was very funny. So what's the big deal? Your description of yourselves did not reach me until after the event, but you must have been blind to all but your idol Mr. R. not to have spotted IED, who was wearing the badge of God and the Holy Raiment of the 1985 Romford Convention, and standing where anyone could witness these True and Only Signs of God. By the way, wasn't that black feminist poetess who was on before Rollins TERRIBLE? Oh, if someone was sending messages to IED yesterday and getting no replies to them (someone named Jeremy, maybe?), that's because it wasn't IED himself who was receiving the messages. IED's account is used by someone else, as well, and he had no idea what the messages meant, so ignored them. Sorry. Please try again. To Jonathan Drukman: It's very interesting that you suggest making a track of just the rhythm section of "Sat In Your Lap". First of all, let IED just say that he didn't mean to imply that "Sat In Your Lap" -- or any other Kate Bush track, for that matter -- wouldn't be magnificent in an extended form. In fact, IED has for several years been making extended home mixes of her records, and two of them are of "Sat In Your Lap". One was a forty-five minute loop, alternating between the LP and seven-inch mixes. The other, interestingly enough, incorporated the solo rhythm section of the record (about which you fantasize) taken off the "Looking Good, Feeling Fit" TV appearance by Kate (UK TV), in which she was shown dancing in a studio to the drum track (without the other music). Of course, the sound is absolutely terrible, but it still sounds amazing. IED's only objection earlier was to the idea that Kate's original was FLAWED by being compressed into three minutes and some odd seconds' length. It may be more satisfying to some listeners to hear a longer version, but that's their affair, and has nothing to do with the success of the original. To Sue T: Sorry, IED no longer has that old stuff in his files, and can't really remember the details. However, as he recalls, all he did was voice sympathy for your ill treatment at other l-hs' hands, and suggest that you not just disappear. By "former tone", he meant that your (apparently) sudden announcement of concession and departure from the scene indicated that you had been unduly upset, and this seemed an unfortunate shift in tone. OF COURSE you have never been abusive yourself -- never had such a notion. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

For this he apologizes abjectly. Love-Hounds will note that John's missive includes not the slightest real information regarding the actual points that were directed at him. Instead he resorts to the usual Love-Hounds shortcut of dismissing the substantive content of IED's communiques with silly, unsupported allegations about religious fervor. -- Andrew Marvick >*The Dreaming* is out on CD!!!

No offense meant, but you can understand IED's skepticism about this product, I'm sure. If it's really here, could you tell us whether it's an import or a domestic release, and if domestic, is the actual CD inside U.S.-made or foreign?

Really-From: IED0DXM%UCLAMVS.BITNET@wiscvm.wisc.edu KT NEWS: The CD of Never For Ever (a German pressing) is now in import stores in the L.A. area.

Doesn't bother him at all. >Sure--she has a really dumb voice.

Ditto Mick Jagger, Huey Lewis, Tom Petty, Bob Seger, Louis Armstrong, The Bee-Gees, Chrissie Hynde, Pee-Wee Herman, Simon LeBon, etc.: Americans wouldn't put up with these people if they had dumb voices. Sorry for the delay with part two of the Zwort Finkle interview. Coming as soon as possible. -- Andrew

Really-From: IED0DXM%UCLAMVS.BITNET@wiscvm.wisc.edu Hi, folks. Having calmed down since yesterday's flame, IED is ready to face your collective wrath, scorn or both. (Maybe he's just getting more paranoid...) Well? Do you all think he was out of line for panning the Zeebrugge record just because its cause was so lofty? Thanks for all the info about the "Cloudbusting" CD, Sue. IED finally managed to get hold of one yesterday -- and it only cost $6.99! Obviously the store-keeper didn't know the market potential of his merchandise. The sound on the Organon Re-Mix is unbelievable. Also, the Peter Gabriel CD-EP of "Big Time", with the re-mix plus "Curtains" and a couple of other tracks, is out. IED's earlier description of the disks as being smaller than normal CDs was wrong, at least regarding these examples. Their size was misleading to him in their single-sleeve-type packaging, because they look like shrunken seven-inch singles. Sony is supposed to be trying to convince manufacturers to adopt a 3 1/2 inch CD for the singles market, but so far no one has adopted the idea. -- Andrew

Really-From: IED0DXM%UCLAMVS.BITNET@wiscvm.wisc.edu Thanks to Spike for the Rolling Stone notice, and to Dave Pearlman for the reminder about acetates. Mark, give Andy a ring if you're in town. He's got an old walkman that he wouldn't mind drilling holes in, providing you could show him where to drill. Better yet, if you could drop by with a cassette of the backwards and slowed-down tracks, it would be much appreciated. So far, however, playing "X4" backwards and slowed down by hand on a turntable, IED still hears "I bet my mum's gonna give me a little toy," just as clear as day. Your interpretation is very hard to hear under the present non-laboratory conditions. IED would be happy to be shown the error of his ways, however. 10499 Wilkins Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90024 (213) 474-5208 -- Andrew Marvick

Well, IED finally got ahold of the Castaway soundtrack LP.
"Be Kind to My Mistakes" is 3:39, and there's also one Eno/Lanois
track on the LP; plus a bunch of Stanley Meyers filmscoring.
The Whole Story video was supposed to have been released to
retailers on Monday the 19th. In fact, however, it's still
not quite out, but EMI insist it will be out by the end of
the week. The Whole Story includes the promotional films
for all the tracks on the greatest hits LP, including a
"new" video of "Wow" using clips from live performances;
and one extra film, "The Big Sky", thus making the older
Hair of the Hound video completely superfluous.
