Really-From: caeco!i-core!pete@uunet.UU.NET (Pete Ashdown) I checked into this news group a month ago to see what kind of progressive music discussion was discussed here. All I found was talk of Kate Bush's new album. I figured, "No problem, I'll check in later." So I did and I still find Kate Bush babble. Aren't you guys taking the description (ie: Kate Bush, etc.) a little literally? I mean, Kate Bush is good, but does she really deserve to have a whole newsgroup dedicated to her? I went to alt.postmodern and posted about a few concerts that I had seen recently and all I got back was philosophy about the definition of postmodern. Am I completely alone on this? Does anyone care to discuss the happenings of groups like The Pixies, The Primitives, Throwing Muses, and They Might Be Giants? Could someone change the 'official' description to something more generic (ie: remove Kate Bush)? -- (^\__/^) pete@i-core.uucp uunet!iconsys!caeco!i-core / . . \ <=== BEWARE!

Really-From: swmpthng@athena.mit.edu (Tim Stellmach) The person who posted this is definitely going to see some less-than-entusiastic responses from the Love-Hounds... Be kind, please. >does she really deserve to have a whole newsgroup dedicated to her? Any subject that generates enough discussion _does_ deserve to have an entire newsgroup. No lack of that here. In fairness, "Kate Bush, etc." includes short, tangential discussions of Peter Gabriel, anyone else who's worked with/influenced/been influenced by KT, those who sound like Kate Bush (e.g. Danielle Dax), and (in even shorter, more tangential discussions) other topics in progressive music. >Am I completely alone on this? Does anyone care to discuss the >happenings of groups like The Pixies, The Primitives, Throwing Muses, >and They Might Be Giants? You're not alone in this _as_such_. I wish there were a decent place to discuss these groups --- but don't expect anyone here to want to give Rec.music.gaffa over to it.

Yeah, if enough people have the interest to post. >Am I completely alone on this?

Yes, you will probably find the posting volume will go down in a year or so, once the album's been out a while, and the other discussions will seem to take up all the space (I seem to remember a time when XTC was on every header for about a month or so). Why don't you post something about these, and see if you get some interest? I would personally like to hear from sone of the Jane Siberry fans , but they apparently need to stay in the closet lest they be trampled on by the rabid "Kate Bush is God. All the rest suck" crowd. You will find, though, that most of the people will talk about other music too. > >Could someone change the 'official' description to something more >generic (ie: remove Kate Bush)?

But I'm also a big fan of Jane Siberry's. I have almost all of her albums. She was interviewed about nine months ago on _Totally Wired_, a public radio show, and I taped it. The point is that Kate Bush IS God, but all the rest don't necessarily suck.

This newsgroup/mailing-list was created for Kate Bush fans. However,
discussion of any interesting music or art is encouraged. The Pixies,
Throwing Muses, They Might Be Giants, The Butthole Surfers, and
Scraping Foetus off the Wheel are all bands I'd encourage people to
discuss here.

Well, in that case, anyone in for a discussion about the latest album of Metallica? Let's start with the following question : Why did they make the clip 'One' and not '...and justice for all' or 'Eye of the beholder'. It seems to me that those gigs would be a much better choice. Alexander -- Leather and metal are our uniforms, protecting what we are. 'Metal Militia' from the album 'Kill 'em all', Metallica 1986.

Much as I like Metallica (I own the said album), I don't really think this is the right forum for discussing them. I think it would be more suited to rec.music.misc. By the way - there is a track on the new Aerosmith album called "Jamie's got a gun".

Actually, if you look closely there is discussion going on other
topics besides Kate Bush: other "alternative" female artists such
as Jane Siberry, Sinead O'Connor, Enya and so on. I actually
like the name of the newsgroup, since I think it encourages discussion
of women artists, while the other newsgroups concentrate on
interminable discussions on Pink Floyd and Rush.
Any k.d. lang fans out there?
Also, anybody secretly believe that Michelle Shocked and k.d. lang
were "separated at birth" (copyright Spy magazine)?
Went to the Pixies concert here in Chapel Hill last night. Walked
out around the middle of the show, couldn't get into it - mostly
because of the crowd, who were loud and drunk and obviously not
there to listen to the music.
it takes forever if you go by inertia
no time if you don't believe in time
