Subject: Camper Von Beethoven
I got a letter in the mail from Independent Project Records today. I'd written them concerning the Camper Von Beethoven record Telephone Independent Landslide Victory. Most of their records are real fancy jobs with hand-printed (that is, printed with some sort of fancy printing press) sleeves. Now, this Camper Von Beethoven record is sold out of the letterpress-printed editions, and what's available is the offset-printed ones. There's no different price listed for the supposedly cheaper offset-printed edition, and I was wondering if anyone could clarify this for me. I've been listening to the Cocteau Twins' Tiny Dinamine for the past couple of months. (no, it wasn't my first exposure to them...snobs.) Is anyone else annoyed by what appears to be a slight case of tape bleed? Didn't someone say this recording is a couple of years old? On the song "Plain Tiger", I could swear Liz is saying "After the task of adding up" at one point, and at another is saying quite loudly and distinctly, "You suck!" Does anyone have any interpretations of these guys' lyrics, or confirmation of the Greek rumor. Laurence
