venus de milo rides again.

Side A
Artist Song
the shins  girl inform me 
tullycraft  piano lessons for the beauty queen 
the beatles  girl 
belle and sebastian  the model 
bob dylan  just like a woman 
comet gain  these are the dreams of the working girl 
velvet underground  femme fatale 
barcelona  beautiful 
sonic youth  sugar kane 
leonard cohen  the sisters of mercy 
the mojo men  sit down, i think i love you 
the left banke  pretty ballerina 
the orange peels  she is like a rose 
television personalities  silly girl 
Side B
ArtistSongBuy
unrest  yes, she is my skinhead girl 
sleater kinney  little mouth 
the koobas  the first cut is the deepest 
the lovin' spoonful  you didn't have to be so nice 
that dog.  hawthorne 
uncle tupelo  give back the key to my heart 
mates of state  nice things that look good 
laura watling  same 
trembling blue stars  a ghost of an unkissed kiss 
the smiths  reel around the fountain 
patsy cline  i fall to pieces 
go sailor  don't go 
the lucksmiths  abdication! 
the zombies  if it don't work out 

Comment:

this is digital (11). a tape trade with snowowl that examines the beauty myth, notions of beauty and subsequent issues of infatuation, lust and heartache. or, 90 minutes of stuff that desparately wishes to fit together.

this is really excellent. almost screams for television ("venus de milo") on side 1.

Just so you know, Brandt, my comment contained not an ounce of scorn. I was just surprised, as you seem to have most musical bases pretty well covered.
