Hi everyone, A couple of things may have been overlooked in all the reunion argy-bargy. Firstly today's release of the DVD. Did anyone get a copy? My local Virgin (that doesn't sound right...)in Bristol didn't even have it on their in-store catalogue of products, although the little girl behind the counter did her best. "Is Bryan spelt funny?" she asked. "B-R-Y-A-N" I replied. "Yeah, that's it...funny" she said as she pointed out an ancient reference to New Town on the VDU...ho hum... Secondly, in case you missed it, there's another high-standard update of the Roxy Music Archives at www.manzanera.com Nice job Bill.

He won't have time for a new album and it would also destroy the record-company plans to sell Roxy-albums again - it's such an easier way to make money, isn't it? Am I going too far to suppose that his cerative life has come to an end? I would feel much happier if they would at least record a new album and tour to promote these songs; until now I could never imagine Ferry to turn on to the "fun & money" side, what a sad experience! ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2001 08:58:45 -0000 From: "Guy Lawley" Subject: RE: [AVALON] Trash manifesto Trash is a piece of delightful throwaway pop, albeit richly laden with 60's "punk"/garage band musical references, while discussing the current "punk" scene, so not without its humour and cleverness. What's that got to do with Duchamp? Please enlighten me/us. Meanwhile, Manifesto, while apparently some sort of homage to a Claes Oldenburg poem, and hence open to a serious/pompous/arty reading, is surely dripping with irony? "And when you find the answer Bring it home to me." always makes me laugh, as, I'm pretty surre, it's meant to. The "manifesto" of an armchair revolutionary! A mature writer's response to the radical chic decade that was the 70s. A fine piece of writing indeed, but... I do hope no-one's taking the "manifesto" too seriously.
