Side A
Artist Song
the softies  snow like this 
belle and sebastian  dylan in the movies 
lois  shy town 
#poundsign#  ayso 
field mice  below the stars 
talulah gosh  bringing up baby 
aisler's set  one half laughing 
rainer maria  soul singer 
magnetic fields  swingin' london 
call and response  california floating in space 
barcelona  beautiful 
go sailor  last year 
beulah  if we can land a man on the moon, surely i can win your heart 
the fairways  nowhere to go 
   
   
Side B
ArtistSongBuy
the lucksmiths  smokers in love 
gaze  whenever she holds you 
rose melberg  loose talk 
stars  on peak hill 
the ladybug transistor  rushes of pure spring 
rocketship  kisses are always promises 
mates of state  nice things that look good 
14 iced bears  cut 
heavenly  it's you 
dear nora  in my room 
trembling blue stars  while your heart is still beating 
the crabs  confess 
bella vista  crushed 
black tambourine  throw aggi off the bridge 
ciao bella  another pill 
schrasj  tower 

Comment:

this is a tape for mel that i made in place of "all you need is a pretty song." because i deemed that tape too strange for someone who is just being indoctrinated into the indie scene. this tape is easier to swallow, with the rougher moments buffered by pop goodies. the title reflects the revision as both tapes get their titles from the beulah track. i think there is an apocryphal story about allen ginsburg saying he never revised his poetry. that is the biggest load of horseshit i have ever heard. revision is necessary and helps to make things work well. i like this tape, even though making it wasn't much of a stretch for me. Also, in closing, everyone should pick up the new 14 iced bears singles comp on slumberland and if the new trembling blue stars single is indicative of the new LP out on Oct. 23rd then we TBS fans will be very pleased.

Very nice, Brandt. As I know only about half of what's on here, I think we need to do a trade - what do you say? I'd love to hear what the 14 iced bears sound like as well as mates of state.
