World Serpent Distribution list (wsd-l) is Dax-related, although not 
entirely.  WSD is the distributor of such groups as Danielle Dax, Current 
93, Death in June, Nurse With Wound, etc.  Even though it's 
semi-off-topic for the newsgroup, I'm going ahead and posting 
subscription info on the list to the whole group just because I know from 
experience that if I don't, I'll get about 50 emails asking me what the 
info is.  Sorry in advance if this doesn't interest you.

Officially, this is a list devoted to the discussion of all musical artists 
associated with the World Serpent Distribution organization and record label.
Some of the more commonly recognized artists include Nurse with Wound, 
Current 93, Death in June, Sol Invictus, Coil, Lemon Kittens, Danielle Dax,

If you have any questions or problems, please contact
"ListKeeper-Manager@HMC.Edu".

   Some possible coverage topics (well, my own areas of interest, anyway):

        1* Updates/reviews of new releases from WS-associated artists

        2* Maintaining a resource database including discographies,
           interviews, articles, etc.  I am already doing this to some
           extent. Extension to ftp/gopher or WWW might also be arranged.

        3* Updates of performances/concerts around the world

        4* A meeting place for collectors to discuss/price pertinent items.
           (this is by all means inclusive of L.A.Y.L.A.H. material)

        5* In-depth discussion of the philosophies, political leanings,
           artistic influences/whatever.  WS-associated artists draw
           heavily from pagan/magick/occult themes; some are heavily involved
           in resurrecting dada/surrealism within a musical context. Some
	   also have connections to the European New Right strain of political
           philosophy.  Is there a common current here?  What cultural
           archetypes are being tossed about?

        6* Possible discussion of WS-associated "cover artists" --  4AD has
           Vaughan Oliver; World Serpent has Babs Santini and Enrico
           Chiarparin. According to one respondent, "Babs Santini" ==
           Steve Stapleton.  Looking back at works by "both" artists, I
           think it's highly likely that they are the same person.  Except 
           who did they get to pose as "Babs Santini" in the C93 TPM liners?

	7* (this should actually be priority 1 right now) -- Construction
           and maintainence of a FAQ for this list.
