Well, Christmas has come and gone. Didn’t get much on my wish list, but then, that was expected…especially when the first item was a $2700 computer. (grin) Hey, I can dream. Did get some good books, hair clippers, a Sex Pistols t-shirt, and some other cool stuff. Let’s see. Well, no big surprise here…there are a few more cd’s in my collection. Um…not much else at the moment. (shrug) Don’t feel like working on anything else. Gerf.

If anyone out there has a copy of Front 242’s Angels vs. Animals they would like to sell, please e-mail me.

If you can find a local Camelot records (I don’t know how big the chain is), ask if they can get it. That’s where I found mine, believe it or not, about two weeks ago…and earlier in the week, I saw that they had another copy out on the shelves. I was impressed.

Oh…sweet disc, too. Sorry, I’m holding onto this one. Especially track 8, L’ange Moderne.

Just how rare is this thing, anyway?

just wondering if theres anybody out there in alaska specifically fairbanks….
and if so is there anyplace to get, see, or hear good music…..
i will be moving there sometime in september…….
wow from sunny florida to cold ass alaska, what a change….
oh well, thanx for any info…..

Well, afraid I don’t know anything about Fairbanks, it’s been years since I’ve made it up there. Admittedly, haven’t been in any hurry…

Down here in Anchorage, about the best place to find anything is at Mammoth Music. They’ve got two locations for new cd’s/tapes, one musical instrument store, and one used-cd store. Always have a good selection, and can generally get ton’s of imports and rare stuff that can be hard to get anywhere else. Apparently companies think Alaska’s so out of it, they all send their stuff to us, so we get more than other places can. Not a bad setup…. I don’t know quite how this site is doing, it was seriously under construction last time I checked, but they’re working on putting up a WWW site…try:

http://mammoth.alaska.net/

…and see what you get.

Stupid question: There was this song that had an industrial feel to it that I heard at a club last night… The only words I remember weren’t english, but they were something like: “Ich bin ein hauslander” (forgive me… I don’t speak german. That was just a phonetic attempt.) Has anybody heard this song? What’s it called and who does it?

Pop Will Eat Itself, “Ich bin ein Auslander,” off of Dos Deidos mi Amigos.
Sweet album…lots of good stuff.

Okay…I bit. So, what’s the deal? Doing an alternative/industrial all-ages club up here in Anchorage, but it can be hard to get new stuff…. Thing is, some of the stuff you had mentioned in an earlier post wasn’t all that new, wasn’t sure if I should reply or not.

  • all good girls – die warzau – have this on the WaxTrax “Afterburn” sampler
  • hit n run holiday – thrill kill kult – Flintstones soundtrack…
  • language of reality – die krupps (clouser rmx) – this caught my eye…would this be the Charlie Clouser working with nine inch nails now? He does do good work…
  • out comes the evil – lords of acid – good track, but “Voodoo-U”‘s been out for a while…

Anyway, am interested in more info, at least…

The IIsi has a documented problem with the connection between the speaker and the motherboard. Cleaning the contacts between the speaker and the motherboard and the problem should go away, for awhile. Connecting an external speaker fixes it forever.

Thing is, this happens to me, too…and I’m on a IIvx (well, Perf600 with an added FPU and Sys7.5). The ‘main’ voices (Bruce and Agnes, I think) work fine, but all the ‘secondary’ voices (Zarvox and the like) have the fan-stutter in them. Any other ideas?

My Mac has developed a will of its own. Lately it has taken to dialing up my Internet server at random times during the day, usually around 2 PM and sometimes around 7. I use MacTCP and a PPP connection. I have no unusual utilities (such as QuickKeys) that might be sending a connect AppleEvent to MacTCP, so I am at a loss to understand what’s going on. Any ideas? Please reply via email. thanks.

I’d suggest seeing if you have Eudora running when your computer tries to connect. Eudora can be set to check the mail at intervals, at which time it checks MacTCP to see if a connection is up. If not, then it’ll attempt to make one, which could prompt the beahvior. Just an idea…there may be other Mac i-net programs with a similar setup, could be worth checking…

Now that Photoshop 3.x has been out for a while, I was wondering if anyone out there might have an old copy of the 2.5 deluxe cd-rom they might be willing to part with. I’ve got Photoshop on floppy, but would appreciate an easier install when I need it, along with whavever other goodies might be on that…and my poor old IIvx with 8Mb RAM can’t quite handle v3, so am not upgrading. Would appreciate e-mail of any offers… wo…@alaska.net. Thanks a lot…

Does anyone have any info on Dance Or Die? I bought the Psychoburbia album, and liked it a lot. I saw that they had more on the shelf, and was wondering if it was similar. Please reply here, or to lbar…@sonymusic.com.

I’ve only ever heard one song of theirs. Was called “Dance or Die” and is on a compilation I picked up in Berlin called the “German Mystic Sound Sampler” good song…one of my faves on the comp. Didn’t know any other stuff of theirs was available over here…any info you could slide my way? Woudl appreciate…

I don’t remember even where I first heard about this but…

Somewhere around a year or more ago, there was an ftp site that had a remix of ‘last’ by Butch Vig that had been nixed from the ‘fixed’ ep. As far as I’ve been able to tell, it’s not available anywhere else, and has never been released. When I heard about this, I had a friend download it for me, and I now have it here on my computer (not a bad mix, either).

Questions being:

  1. Does anyone know anything about this mix?
  2. Is it still available anywhere? After being downloaded, broken into pieces, transferred from IBM to Mac, re-pieced together and all, the sound quality isn’t great. Would be interested in getting a better quality file…but don’t have the url I originally got it from.

Any information would be greatly appreciated…
