Subject: RE: [AVALON] Monkee magic You know I just happened to have an album done by Nesmith and the "2nd National Band" in '72. It was cut in '72 and he called it "Tantamount to Treason". I can see why when you hear his "new" stuff as opposed to what he did with the Monks. Some of the most off-kilter "country" you'd ever hear. Nothing like that "Nashville" sound which was out at the time. Had to hand it to him though. He was like Roxy at the time...... sort of experimental and revolutionary with the music. And as for Herman's Hermits (yes, one of my favorite bands way back when), Graham Gouldman was a damn good pop songwriter.

He did sort of a comedy with music interspersed sort of thing. I do have Elephant Parts (not just bragging) and some parts of it are quite humorous, and believe it or not in one part he does part of As Time Goes By, a comedic interpretation of a drunken Vegas lounge act where he sings You must remember this...mumble mumble (because he's forgotten the words). He sings Flying to Rio and Sunset Sam. Must be off of his Mega Platinum release Mike Nesmith Plays the Palladium (just kidding about the platinum). Some of the humour is pretty good. On a related note a good friend of mine, George DeJong, is the keyboard player for Peter Noone's-Herman's Hermits. Peter used to just ring up local musicians and get them for his gigs, but he now has a more permanent band. george started as a call up but he's quite good and classically trained (in music) so he is now a member. But the crux of this story is that for one gig it was the teen idol tour and he did keyboards with Peter, Mickey Dolenz and Bobby Sherman in their respective portions of the show. I'm not saying I dig the Monkeees, ( sorry Monqui) but there is no need to be cruel to them. their scene came up and they went with it, who can find fault with that. If I met Peter Torke somewhere I'd walk up and shake his hand and if he is here impersonating Monqui Boy he must have some pretty damn good taste in music. Hey and Peter Noone is pretty cool too!

She also used to do a nice version of XTC's Senses Working Overtime. Sadly, she doesn't do much Eno or XTC these days, as she's moved on to interest in other bands.

At Glasgow he was dressed in an exquisitly cut black tuxedo and black trousers (though not leather) with an open necked shirt. At first I thought the neck being open was to mirror our maestro but as the story unfolded Gareth had a bow tie in his pocket, but couldn't tie it as he arrived in Glasgow around 5 O'Clock and got into the company of one of my fine country men at the bar and listened in awe to several million stories of Roxy at Glasgow Appollo over the years . When the time came to head from the bar and into the auditorium Gareth had 10 pints of the finest Scottish ales and a few wee drams of malt whiskey and couldn't bite his fingers never mind tie a bow tie.

The IFPI and the BPI are constantly cracking down on these >activities ... [snipped] think about what you just said above. neither was what i was suggesting 'piracy' - as far as i'm concerned. nor was i advocating that ANYONE make a profit from it. and as far as the 'authorities' finding out -- who's going to be the one to tell them?! and WHY would someone?! not myself. and if there are people on the list connected to ferry, there's been plenty of instances for them to make their concerns known re: 'a perfumed sigh', 'ASSH', etc., etc.. i should think they'd want to sink their legal teeth into something that really mattered. like someone making a real enterprise out of something LIKE this -- for money, not LOVE of the music. >We would not want to bring to their attention our CD Tree activities, but >doing a compilation of official material has the potential to piss off the >artist, management, it would go to lawyers and so on, if it were ever found >out. see above ... >As I mentioned, trading this thing privately (ie off the list) is up to the >individuals concerned, and if you find someone willing to do that, then >fine. My point of repeating the CD Tree guidelines was just to underline >its purpose. great. i really don't see the problem with what is essentially inter-fan trading just because it involves 'offically released' material. as i mentioned, yes -- officially released material that is possible to get. possible, but not easy in any sense of the word. so, since we're a community, we can help each other. if someone plans on blowing the proverbial whistle on what we're doing, we probably can't stop them anyway. and so, do i want to see a message from some kind of law firm to the list? of course not. i didn't advocate taking out an advert in the times (n.y. or london) or anything. look, i think i've more than fairly contributed to the ferry money machine, as it were. i've purchased six (6) copies of ATGB (& will buy more for friends/family), saw the tour, saw the mamouna tour, plan on buying the remasters, have all of the back catalog either on cd or vinyl ... and i don't consider myself a criminal, nor a lesser fan because of my suggestion. i'm not talking about a cd tree of ATGB, now am i? i think it's fairly reasonable. as for waiting for any kind of box set (to include the material in question, according to your opinion) to come out instead -- OK -- i'll start holding my breath now. :^0 lastly, what is this with the list owners forbidding 'this kind of talk'? i have never heard that. it's as if i suggested we all get together and start burning counterfeit cds and attempt to make a bundle in some kind of SWINDLE. give me a break, OK? and merry christmas, alright?! peaces/ms p.s. i won't apologize for the length when it seems everyone loves to tack on 14 other e-mails to their own posts ... ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Dec 1999 13:16:53 -0600 From: "Will Frechette" Subject: [AVALON] nothing up my...sleeve I'm more the leather chaps with no drawers type.

Was it Dr Simon Puxley ? I've often pondered upon the possibility of Vapor, the list's greatest essayist, being the good Doctor. And nothing in his final postings led me to believe otherwise. Remember that painful and unusually prosaic statement that he'd listened to September Song 1200 times ? (..As the days dwindle down...) And semi-satirical warnings that he wouldn't be around much longer. Indeed, how gaunt the great man looked at the Nick Cave gig ? The American "voice" may well have been, to apply that rich lexicon, a curveball. (I think I'm agreeing with Colleen here.) And all that stuff about being near to the Maestro ; you sensed he was mentally in tune as well as physically close. Much as, say, his sleevenotes for the eponymous first album mirrored the pop-art fantasies of "Strand" or "Virginia Plain." As Rex Balfour, Puxley's style part-embraced, part-parodied the vacuity of the Bel-Air period (when Bryan had actually became the Frankenstein monster of well healed, faux-Gatsby arriviste, hanging out with Rod'n'Britt, mourning Jerry) ; actually lovelorn and lost, as opposed to acting lovelorn and lost. I think it was Kicki who tracked Vapor across the web and found him on an obscure auction site bidding, if memory serves, for a pair of rather ugly china dogs. Now that IS Puxleyesque. A caveat. MonquiBoy's funny satire of Manifesto the other day had, in parts, the style and velvet glove assault of a Vapor diatribe. And, as I'm constantly reminded, I fell for "Pastiche." If the letter to Chris was a hoax, however, it would have been in very bad taste. I hope V was Dr S. Not least because it would have been nice to know he was amongst us. We dedicated "A Perfumed Sigh" to his memory and this near-revelation would certainly vindicate that call.
