Maybe Andy can't do the duckwalk, but I just saw a supercharged performance of Psalm. Ferry in white jacket, Andy looking rather Edwardian. They don't have to get physical, as long as they can put on an electrifying performance like that! ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 12:55:43 -0600 From: "Paul Bodine" Subject: [AVALON] Roxy tribute night in NYC Interesting review in the February 21-27, 2001 Village Voice of a Roxy Music tribute evening at the Westbeth Theatre Center in NYC by "The Loser's Lounge," an ad hoc group of musicians who perform tributes to everyone from Harry Nilsson to Abba. Re-make/Re-model Imagist poet, nightlife anthropologist, fearless tackler of crazed British Airways passengers, Bryan Ferry is above all a beautiful loser. So while any given incarnation of the Loser's Lounge will offer a marvelously eclectic daisy chain of downtown luminaries paying homage to past masters, choosing Roxy Music as their latest muse crystallizes the Losers' underdog fabulosity like none other. Because Ferry-lover of women, instigator of dance crazes-invented what one Roxy song calls the "autoerotic plea": the lovesick unpacking of the heart, crooned into the bathroom mirror after a long night of party-time-wasting. The Losers dive through the looking glass-no more singing into a hairbrush to "The Thrill of It All" or locking the door so no one else can see you do the strand. Their recent relocation from Fez [NYC club] to the Westbeth having slightly diffused the smoky nightclub situation, the Losers tore through 30-odd Roxy and Roxy-related staples on February 8 (including a cover of their cover of "Jealous Guy" and ladytronic flight attendants harmonizing on "Music for Airports"). The quick-study Kustard Kings laid down their usual taut but loose-jointed sonics (but hark, no oboe?), led by Lounge king Joe McGinty on keys (adding video-game grace notes to Nick Danger's deranged reading of "Seven Deadly Finns") and guitar dynamo Kris Woolsey, bedecked with Eno seraphim wings. Best impressionist: Ed Rogers's matter-of-fact serpentine sleekness on "Let's Stick Together." Best relocation of For Your Pleasure to a Weimar cabaret: Richard Barone's poker-faced "In Every Dream Home a Heartache," replete with plastic disposable darling and punitive whip-wielder. Best hootenanny: the shakedown of "The Thrill of It All," featuring Matthew Caws (of Nada Surf) working the wordless chorus like a dorky Dionysus. Finally, best incarnation of what Le Tigre calls the eau de bedroom dancing: Lianne Smith stomping and squawking to "Love Is the Drug," with the ecstatic abandon of a drunk and disorderly librarian. -Jessica Winter (copyright Village Voice) "After picking a composer, Joe McGinty [Loser's Lounge founder] and Co. listen to hundreds of tunes - hits, B-sides, album tracks, and obscurities - selecting 25 or 30 favorites. Arrangements are sketched out with the band, singers are matched with songs, and sets are sequenced to maximize impact with the audience1s increasing insobriety." ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 22:20:15 -0500 From: "therese" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Re : I could show you in a word... Hiya Didn't realise I could go for fave BF lyrics too. Here are mine - again simply a sample of faves. 'Once again you're the song, I'm the one who turns the pages' What a description of being entirely captivated. 'Just one step at a time And closer to destiny' A beautiful line in a beautiful song - again probably an unpopular choice on my part. 'We're too young to reason Too grown up to dream' I thought this was ultra profound when I was 14 - still like it for different reasons. Life imitating art? 'River of salt flowing from my eyes Seems as though I can't realise.....' I know this is a cover - but it's SOOOOOOOO BF to admit to crying (cf. various of his own lyrics - My gosh spot the academic...... I should include footnotes) Love it all Therese ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 22:31:35 -0000 From: "Tracy Connell" Subject: Re: [AVALON] newspaper ?
