Hi there... For several year I'm looking for a CD wich included Pink Floyd Remix by the Orb. I found it on Kazaa (and before that on Napster). But since that early moment, I want to have the Real CD.... What is the name of it...Where I can by it. Cause here in Canada nobody have a clue about that CD... Help me please.

I liked Bentley Rhythm Aces. That was way happy. I liked Fatboy Slim and I still do. It's not his fault he made the soundtrack to television commercials in 1999. I like Daft Punk. Both albums. Pretty happy stuff, dontcha think? If I wanted depressing crap I'd listen to Ministry or Laibach. If I want booty shaking music, I'll listen to these "sell out" artists. Before they "sold out" they were (mostly) struggling musicians. They just happened to have the sound that fit the moment and Madison Ave is always listening closely. Too bad Clear Channel isn't (The Grateful Dead used to have a bootleg station by the sound board so you could hook up your DAT or cassette and get it for free so FUCK CLEAR CHANNEL IN THE FUCKING ASS). (Also the Grateful Dead suck ass in every way possible except as an important piece of psychedelic history.) "Kiss FM," which is now nationwide, homogenous crap, will never play any non-Madonna, Britney, or NSynch electronic music in any market because the HUGE corporate music machine doesn't make money off of those acts. They're self produced and independently promoted in most cases and that cuts out half of their butt buddies. So, like I said, FUCK CLEAR CHANNEL IN THE FUCKING ASS. Now I'll just sit and wait for the Gestapo... I mean "Homeland Defense Department" to come knocking at the door. It'll probably be a Terminator. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "I'm the commander--see, I don't need to explain--I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation." -- George Bush

> >I liked Bentley Rhythm Aces. That was way happy. > >I liked Fatboy Slim and I still do. It's not his fault he made the >soundtrack to television commercials in 1999. Yeah I still like Fatboy as uncool as that is, I like other "happy" stuff like Flaming Lips, Luke Vibert (Wagon Christ stuff especially) and even the first Lemon Jelly CD. Even better is funny music like The Orb, Ween, Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Weird Al (O.K. maybe I stretched it with that last one) but sometimes dark music makes me happy too. Even the work of the infamous Richard James, hey if the guy can inspire that much insane argument he must be on to something . . . (although I have avoided the Drukqs debate by refusing to listen to it) np: Meat Beat Manifesto- Storm the Studio R.M.X.S. - Speaking of dark stuff that gets me off, I say it's the finest MBM related CD in quite some time ,topping last year's R.U.O.K and Hello Friends which were pretty freakin good in their own right. _________________________________________________________________ Instant message with integrated webcam using MSN Messenger 6.0.

Groovetech No Longer Groovin'
by Nick King 07 Oct '03

07 Oct '03

According to BurntBlue (http://www.burntblue.com/news/news.asp?News=4254) Groovetech no longer exists: "According to reports, online radio station, Groovetech, has gone under. The dance music station and online music store which supplied vinyl to DJs around the world has been folded by its parent company, Internet Music and Media (IMM). According to Aim.quoted reports, IMM have announced that "the directors of its wholly owned subsidiary, Groovetech Limited, have resolved that it should cease trading." They say Groovetech Limited was established to sell product to the UK and Europe and has "never been profitable." Groovetech first started broadcasting in San Francisco and Seattle streaming webcasts of live DJ mixes. Paul Oakenfold, Kenny Hawkes and Andrew Weatherall are amongst those to deliver sets for the station. The company added: "We are assessing the impact of the closure on Groovetech LLC, our US subsidiary."" Ah well, no more LX mixing there, then.... ;-< L8rs, Nick ;-(

Advert Pervert/Who exactly is Youth
by Highest Shamen Denominator 07 Oct '03

07 Oct '03

Just picked up the new Perfect Circle "13th Step" and I must admit watered down Tool is better than full strength..... Bad Ronald or what have you spiss. Check out tracks 1,3,9! and 10,11. Even some crazy triphop shit sorta thrown in there. I saw them live Easter 01' after coming off of a long long tour-de-force w/NIN and others. Was the last show for a while and Maynard was going off about how he couldnt wait to get back home to his Anal Sex VHS collection. Somebody musta fed him a random MN name cuz he said, "I heard this {St. Paul MN] is the anal sex capitol, oh wait no, thats Duluth, MN." Whatver he meant it was funny. This big easter bunny came and and was dry humping the band members then the hot (now departed) bass player chic dove into the mash pit. I am gettin kinda broke and sick from electro so needed some bands. I also picked up the new Killing Joke just for Orb relavance. I like the song on Voyage Into Paradise and have Pandemonium. Whats the deal w/Youth. He is supposed to be on there? I also saw some Faith No More remix's from Angel Dust done by Youth? He never appears in credits as Youth though? Who is he really supposed to be and whats the deal w/Killing Joke. I mean w/the exception of Def Leppard, expecting Brits to make good metal is like expecting a Texan to give up his gas hog and ride the bus. I just dunno bout dem. Dave Grohl plays damn good drums though.

I just got email Friday from Steve Goodgold booking for LX's US gigs. Whoever gave me the heads up thanks. I asked him to book him and he sd "thanks, will do." It would be the afformentioned Ascot Room here in Minneapolis. I saw him on my Birshday in 02. I don't know if they made any $$ though. Some1 lemme know if those dates come out. You all are invited for space cakes and Absinth. Its a great venue, I keep saying that over and over. I can't wait to see Plaid there, omg, gonna be TITS!

Disney/Clear Channel
by Highest Shamen Denominator 06 Oct '03

06 Oct '03

Very shortly >after we were amazed how much of that album is used as beds (background >music) for trailers, adverts, documentaries, segways, blahdy-blah... Most >likely Disney already, >Staunton Lick is begging to be remixed. Sell it all out. I used to say I listened to only music that wasnt used to sell shit (just like the dearly departed Bill Hicks sz) but along came this band called The Orb. It is kinda nice when you can explain to some1 who they are by naming that commercial, but now its out of memory. I mentioned I picked up on Plaid in the background of a Pantene Pro-V commercial. I heard, yesterday WEEN selling Honda Civic's with "Ocean Man" off the Mollusk. That was a kick in the seeds. I mean I expect these bands to earn a living. Hell its prob for the best. I mean royalties will pay them back for all the music I dowloaded. Does anyone listen to National Public Radio? I listen to BBC like every friggin night (mine as well monitor the country I gladly send all my money to for CD's). I noticed Prefuse 73, Other People Place, and other warp,rephlex artists in the 4-20 second interlude clips, anyone else notice that? Not sold out but odd. The only thing I ever heard of Clear Channel doing good is the Grateful Dead Cd's they've been putting out. I am not a huge dead fan but went to Dylan and Dead out here in Sommerset,WI in August. Yesterday a local DJ played the $25.00 3disc set he got of the show. You sign up at the show and it gets mailed a month or so later. They master it on the bus. Clear Channel might start having them the same day of the show!!! Its the first show I've been to that I've heard live I think. The "space drums" set is kinda cool w/this steel drum calypso effect that sounds like Plaid a bit. They are ambient, when you check out Infrared Roses and such. Disney is jacked. I am a bill collector and called to get a hold of some1 the other day. I got the puppeteer and actor line and when I asked the receptionist how she was doing she is required to say "I'm having a Magical Day, and you?" Image being hungover and having to ans the phone "Yeah, I'm having a just fucking magical day, what do you need I got a fucking splitting headache and shiner from a bar fight last night."
