Wow, I must admit I haven't checked in on this list in years,
literally.  And it's so nice to see so many of the old names still
here!  One of the best things about music is that unites people and
makes communities.  This list is such a beautiful example of that.
Happy birthday, SeaHunt!

      hmm i finished high school in 95 and you could definitely access
the internet with netscape with text AND images and that was in
australia where things are normally about 3 years behind, but perhaps
it was educational institutions only at that stage or something.  good
memory on the list birthday though the old yoyo list was started around
now in 1996, my god that makes me feel old.  it is nice to know that
we're all still on the list even if nobody writes anything :)

a couple of weeks ago i picked up a copy of the BH/vaselines cassette
which i was pretty excited about (for 50 cents no less!!), pity i don't
have a tape player to actually play it though :(  i think my favourite
bit was on the inside cover where it says recorded in london, england
by streator johnson!!  way to go streator!!  providing us with live
beat happening and vaselines!!

hey Mike!  Look, I blame the tubes.  First they took our attention
spans and our social skills crumbled quickly thereafter.


Hey, the other night I got a wild hair to try to find mp3s of that
awesome tape comp that came out eons ago, "Go Olympia!"   Has anyone
ever stumbled upon such a thing?  All I could find was a Mirah fansite
that talked about it and diddly on Limewire.

is when Mike Appelstein came up to me at a show and was like "are you

You probably mean the "Indie-List Digest," which Eric Sinclair and
Anne Zender ran.  Pretty much the first listserv I ever heard of
dedicated to this kind of music.  The archives used to be at
www.bloofga.org, but seem to be gone - try web.archive.org and type in
the URL there.

Got a computer w/internet access in '97... Coming across the list and
reading posts from all you fine people over the years has been
wonderful... Hmmm... So lately I've been playing my iPod on
shuffle... 14,000 songs... Every so often some Softies, Heavenly or
Beat Happening (or any related band/side project of the 3) gem will
pop up and make me smile.  It's a cross between finding an old
photograph and getting a random phonecall or email from an old
friend... Especially enjoyable when it's some MP3 I burned from a
vinyl 45 ("Not a Care In the World") or nicked from napster (the solo
Amelia single) years ago...
Caught Rose live when she swung thru NYC in April.  Her voice was in
fine form and the new songs were lovely... The high point for me,
predictably, was when she dusted off the title track from 'It's Love'
and I got a bit misty-eyed... Didn't recognize Sarah from My Favorite
when she joined in for harmonies...
The new album is a nice addition to Rose's catalogue, though I'll
need to revisit it a bit more to really let it sink in.
Very glad the list is still going.  You all rock, in that
special "twee as fuck" sorta way ;-)

Hello Jonathon

To answer your BH question, no I haven't.

How do you find it?

Hope all is well,

I like fishing, and I have ridden on a boat with an outrigger off the coast of

i want to put a downrigger on but where?  has anyone done it before,
there really isnt alot of room.

Loved the article.  Printed it and read it in its entirity on the train ride
home last night.  Bittersweet reading, as it made me both thrilled to read about
so many bands I used to listen to daily, and also nostalgic for the nineties
indie music scene.

Funny that the BH recommendations included neither Dreamy nor '83-'85.

At work, must return to the office chaos.

that was too long for me to read but it looked surprising informative for
newcomers to twee.

onto other matters will anyone be at calvin's show in NYC on november 2 and
like to meet up?

thanks,
scotles.

The house across the street from Calvin's is up for sale. Just in case anyone
has $424,000 laying around and wants to live in Olympia.
Love,

Thanks for the great photos!

Hey,
a bit quiet here the last few days...

Nevertheless, I was able to see Calvin Johnson live in Cologne
yesterday. It was a cool and very impressing solo show! He played some
songs and told some stories for approx. one hour.
Although he had a distance of 0,5 - 2 metres to the microphone most of
the time his voice was always clearly. The audience (approx. 50
people) shouted for a encore after the set, but sadly Calvin did not
come on stage once more.
I made some pictures and uploaded two of them into the file section of
this group. Please enjoy.
Were any other people of this list able to see Calvin (or will see
him) during his Europe tour?

Best wishes,
Marco
