That was the line-up I got at least from the guy at 4AD. I got advance tickets from the rep (one of the benefits of being music director!) and I even get to interview the band. I'm pretty stoked.

Rachel ? are you listening? Here's my q to the list. Has anyone seen the 'Love songs on the radio' video? It's such a perfect complement to the song. Hazy and slow. I am (slightly but not really) surprised that here in the u.s., vh1 hasn't picked this up. I'm not wishing the commercial downward thrush of everyone's clandestine former and present fave band, that accompanies such vile airplay, *but* it's a shame when a song and a video go together with one another so sweetly and no one views it. agree or no? either way let this list (or me) know.

( of course a few weeks before) and that was IT!!!! : ( -- has anyone heard anything about this " mercy" single yet??? i'm growing anxious! i too sincerely hope they would pull out 'dagger', or 'here she comes' .....even "allison" could be done; (ahh soo beautiful it would be) just acoustic guitar..piano, ians perfect drumming, and neil and rachael harmonizing.... "....and she laughs...." ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh a few more weeks and i will find out in person!!!!!! dreaming : ) ~joe~ -------------------------- Date: Wed, 03 Apr 1996 07:38:58 -0500 From: Stephen Bagwell Subject: Re: mojave >Here's my q to the list.
