Re: Experiment IV (wait, calm down, John...)
I think I heard this in a record store the other day. I thought it
was some OTHER female singer (name withheld to protect both the singer

Re: Rob Rosen's roommate
Rob, maybe you should like push him off the Golden Gate or sth.? I
don't let anyone mess with my perverted sex manuals. (BTW, those
figures on the orange catalog are by Keith Haring, who is now just
about the trendiest thing on the east coast. He should have stuck
to leaving anonymous drawings in subway billboards, sigh.) I'll
try to dig up my copy...

The incomplete but almost essential info on Bauhaus/Tones on Tail/
Love & Rockets...

What Bauhaus-haters think of Bauhaus: "Pretentious artsy-fartsy
bullshit, boring, silly poseur post-punks for the trendies."

What Bauhaus-fans think of Bauhaus: "Good live band with vicious
distorted guitars and strong lead singer. Daniel Ash is God."

Both sides are probably correct. They do have occasionally pretentious
lyrics, but they have played some good music, especially the
earlier stuff. Essential Bauhaus albums: Press the Eject and Give Me
the Tape (good live album with 10 min. Bela Lugosi's Dead,) The Sky's
Gone Out (with the best Eno cover anyone has ever done,) and 
Bauhaus: the Singles (tho the big compilation may make this redundant.)

The other albums: In the Flat Field is a relentless, savage album
(their first) that I liked but is a little more primitive. Burning
