It is not the double-CD version. I ordered it as the double-CD
but what I got was the standard one-CD European edition :(
So now I want to get rid of my spare copy.
And at least in here Finland you cannot buy any other Slowdive
products than Pygmalion from _any_ record store. Which is
a shame I think. And I believe it's the same in many other
countries...

No. It is out of print, and very difficult to find in some parts of the world.

This is also out of print, and is much more difficult to find.

The rate of "please remove me from the list" messages sent to the actual
mailing list, instead of the administrative request address is pretty
alarming. The "Welcome to Avalyn!" message sent to all subscribers when
subscribing describes how to unsubscribe pretty clearly, but I guess
it's too easy to just delete the message so here goes:

25$ is a normal price for new CD in here Finland, yes.
I agree that it is ridiciliously high.
And actually I piad 28$ for that disc...
Obiviously I'm selling it in the wrong place cause everyone
has it already :)

Oh I did say I'd try to send more bands when I could remember them.
Here is one that comes to mind... a band called Planet, I'm Gone from
Cincinatti. Beautiful stuff!!! Sort of reminiscent of early Verve,
without sounding like a cheap imitation. This band really stands on
their own. I haven't heard anything this good in a while.
Unfortunately only one of their sound clips is working, but I think it's
enough to get you hooked. I'm thinking of getting their EP. Hopefully
they are still available.
Their URL is http://www.concentric.net/~Imgone/Index.shtml

Hi Mitch,
I am Kurt, and I am in a Belgian band called Sleeve (former Fading for
Amanda). We're Belgian and we play some Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine,
and early Verve stuff. We're planning to record a demo with members of
Hoover, which is a brilliant Belgian band (which is now getting famous
in the US), in the near future.
I also have a friend Didier Becu who is also very active in this
respect. He has a magazine "The Original Sin" but it has appeared only a
few times. Perhaps you know him.
So if we have recorded the new demo (we have an older one - a bit
out-of-date) we'll send you a copy!
Bye,
Kurt

Wow! I just came back from their homepage after listening to that
clip, and I have to thank you for posting this information because
they sound _great_! Mailed the band and asked about availability
of their EP, because it must be a "must get" item.

You're welcome! I knew someone would like it. When you hear something
that good you feel you need to let the whole world know about it. I'm
surprised I haven't heard more about these guys. They truly are one of
the best bands I've heard in a long time along the dreampop/shoegaze
lines.

Definitely. Though I'm not that surprised about not hearing about them
before. Shoegaze is painfully _out_, or perhaps _thankfully_ out of
sight when it comes to media coverage these days. Though I am somewhat
surprised no one on this list has mentioned them before. Well, they
only started about a year ago according to their site, so perhaps
that's not too strange either. :-)

Yes, shoegaze is definitely "out"... but with bands like bowerey
electric being relatively successful I would imagine that it'd be
possible for a band such as Planet..I'm Gone to receive some attention
with being labeled as another outdated shoegaze band. Anyhow, I like
them, and I'm glad I heard of them. No media coverage needed. :)

Well, W&C stopped by yesterday afternoon for some hangin' out before the
show, and their show was totally amazing, as expected. 5 Amazing blissful
songs, culminating with 'Lighthouse', which is probably my fave track by
them!! And I didn't even request it....ahhh....However, as they arrived in
Florida two days ago, they hit a muffler on the freeway, resulting in a
flat tire and a bit of a delay getting to G-ville...THEN, at their
soundcheck last night, their van was broken into - right in the club
parking lot!! Luckily, only Windy's coat, and a camera were taken, along
with some other things. Which totally sucks, because 1) the camera was
Windy's Christmas present, and 2) the camera case had all their film from
the entire tour in it! So please, if you took any pictures along their
tour so far, please send them some copies. And if they come to your town,
please give them extra love and support and buy them food and take them
into your home and buy extra records of theirs. They are truly wonderful
people and they totally got shafted. No wonder no one comes to Florida!!
:) Now I'm off to go help them look through the streets surrounding
neighboring crack-houses to try to find some of their things...

Well, the bids are up to $12 on that one now, and the Swervedriver CD is
actually available in town used for less than that, so I'll have to say
pass - sorry! Let me know if you want to make another offer? Or perhaps a
$$ bid?

Don't think we received it...
