I think it's called "And Here Is The Young Man" and features "A Song From Under The Floorboards", U2 "11 O'Clock Tick Tock", Jilted John "Jilted John" and obviously Joy Division, there's also Durrutti Column, Happy Mondays and World Of Twist. All good stuff with that claustrophobic, dense Hannet trademark sound. Also, I quite like Barry Adamson's albums, Oedipus Schmedipous being a favourite especially the Jarvis Cocker fronted "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Pelvis". I picked up "Where the Power Is" not long ago and I can highly recommend it. The box set is quite cheap so I might be tempted one day. And "The Correct Use of Soap" is one of the best album titles ever! Finally, I witnessed a "High Fidelity" moment a while back at a little record shop in Soho (Sister Ray down Berwick Street). It was the superior "Shop Assistant" type. He put on the live Magazine album and a smug look crawled accross his face as his sidekick didn't recognise the songs. Smug: "Don't you know who this is?" Sidey: "No....." Smug: muted laugh/snort of superiority "This is the greatest live album EVER. The singer used to be in the Buzzcocks. D'you remember them?" Sidey: "Yeah...." Smug: "And you still don't know who it is." Sidey: "I said NO." Smug: A moan of disgust, a tut, then he went off in to the back. Sidey: a sly grin on his face knowing he's wound the other guy up.

I saw a bunch of shows at the Felt Forum in the old days and usually sat in the 200 section (actually one of the most mismatched double bills ever was seen there: King Crimson and John Hammond.

While most of the bands and >individuals in the Hall are pretty good choices, so far, it's unsettling to >see herds of folks moving into "hallowed" status. > Exactly. The idea of a hall of fame for "bands/artist" is just plain redundant. I mean, everyone already knows B.B. King, Little Richard....Aerosmith etc. are great artist. A rock & roll hall of fame should be devoted to exactly that: Rock &Roll....meaning that it should not only cover the artist/bands, but the people behind the scenes that really made the artist/bands great in the first place. Categories should include artist responsible for great album cover art. For example, Roger Dean created great works of art of the early Yes albums. The same for H.R. Giger`s work on Emerson, Lake, and Palmer`s albums and Funky Paul`s work for Robin Trower`s early albums just to name a few. These people are completely forgotten by the rock establishment. Another category should be for producers. Everyone agrees that Pink Floyd`s Dark Side Of The Moon is a classic, but anyone who has heard this material before Alan Parsons worked his magic with it would probably agree that it`s pretty lame and "The Lord`s Prayer" that suddenly appears out of nowhere is just ridiculous. A category for session players is desperately needed. Critics and fans alike hail both Lou Reed`s Berlin and Rock & Roll Animal as classics, but it could have never been pulled off without Steve Hunter/Dick Wagner/Pentti Glan/Prankash John/Ray Colcord. These guys were great musicians and appear on a lot of albums (Alice Cooper etc.) but they are virtually unknown and completely forgotten. What a shame. I can go on and on, but I`m sure you get my drift.

King of all intellectuals says many of the tracks were recorded virtually live, with few overdubs. Space is due out in the summer, and will feature some of the songs previewed on the last James tour. Mr. Chrome Dome told NME.COM: "The whole idea was to try to make an album in what is actually a rather old-fashioned way - start with the songs written and properly structured, play them live and record them. "It's very regressive in a way, saying, 'Let's go back to making a record that records a band at its peak'." He added: "I think it's the best record they've made. The standard is so high on every song. There's nothing where you think it could've been better. We've got too many good songs, more good songs than we can put on the record." http://www.ananova.com/entertainment/story/sm_244842.html ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2001 19:02:59 +0100 From: "C. H. Soetemann" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Ultravox off topic There seem to be different versions of the split of Ultravox(!) Mark I. Foxx stated he wanted to pursue a solo career to be less bound by the restrictions of an ensemble where you have to find something to play for everyone. I think drummer Warren Cann maintains Foxx had been sacked by the others instead. But I don't think it's fair to put down the Ultravox with Midge Ure entirely. Mark I was the more innovative and superior, but Mark II did produce some very good electronic pop records, like Rage In Eden. However, Foxx had released four solo albums between 1980 and 1985, then a long intermission (working and givinbg lecture as graphics designer), but never ceasing to record. In 1997, he released two solo albums, and there seems to be more to follow. Christian - ---------- >Von: stevesiren >An: avalon@smoe.org >Betreff: Re: [AVALON] Ultravox off topic >Datum: Son, 25.

Roxy Music is one of the acts at "Roch Werchter" in Belgium. 29 & 30 june and 1 july are the dates of the festival. I don't know what day they are giving their performance. Who knows more? Cheers, Ed ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2001 18:26:10 -0800 (PST) From: Maggie Curran Subject: [AVALON] Roxy in Atlanta -- How Sweet It Is!! Hi all! Still delirious that Roxy will play in Atlanta! Thought it might be helpful to know the scenario here. Chastain Park sells season subscriptions to its concerts and people buy a table (for six) or reserved seats for all 12 concerts in a series. Series A goes thru June and those tix are on sale now. Series B concerts are those in July and August and they will go on sale for subscription to all 12 concerts soon. NO NEWS YET ABOUT ROXY AT SOUTHERN CONCERTS but you can call Chastain Ticketing at (404) 233-2227. After all the full season and mini-season (4 concerts) subscriptions are sold, they open up the tickets for single events. My guess is that this will be some time in May. Excruciating to wait! Suggest you go to www.yahoo.com and search for Chastain Park. When you click on this entry you can request a detailed seating plan. There will also be other information about this venue. Because there is so little opportunity to get best seats at Chastain without being a season subscriber, you might want to consider listing yourself with a ticket broker. This is gonna cost you, but you will probably get a good seat. I've already listed myself since I don't want to be seated way in the back for this concert. Below are names and phone numbers for the two ticket brokers I've contacted: IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS MEMBER OF AVALON SO THEY CAN SEAT US AS CLOSE TOGETHER AS POSSIBLE -- Ticket Pros USA (404) 524-8491 James or Sean Theater Tickets (800) 730-7373 Matthew or (404) 365-0555 Wish there were an easier way but short of personal connections (and I am working on all of mine), the chances of getting best seats at Chastain are between slim and none. If God should favor me with a table, I intend to share it with fellow Avalonians. And Grant and Greg have some thoughts about a pre-concert meet-up for Avalonians as well. Do write if you have questions. Will try to get your answers.

I loved Ian in Mott and always felt Mr. Ronson played a big part in Bowie during the rise of Ziggy. When they came together it was dynamic. Their long lasting friendship could be heard in the way they played. I saw them twice in "very" small clubs in Arizona during the mid to late eighties and actually got to meet them the second time around. Terrible thing that happened to Mick and a terrible loss. If you liked anything about these guys, please pick up the live "Welcome to the Club." Simply great live "night club" "Rock & Roll". Any way, sorry for wandering off there for a moment. Back to you local programming.

Just thought I would let you all (well, the Americans, anyway) know that Bryan's music was featured on last week's edition of "This American LIfe" on NPR. For those of you who don't know "This American Life" (or who live elsewhere) it is a one hour radio show, originating here in Chicago. The host, a charming man named Ira Glass, was one of NPR's top producer/reporters for several years, before starting the show. The format is very loose. Basically, they choose a theme each week, and get artists and writers to "take a whack at it." Sometimes it is one long documentary (like two weks ago, on the history of political corruption in Cicero) or one long play (like the musical on the secret life of J. Edgar Hoover), sometimes it is several short stories or memiors. The show launched the carreers of David Sedaris, Sara Vowel, and Scott Carrier (who is known for his excellent piece about interviewing schizophrenics in the desert of Utah.) This last week was about memory and forgetting. TAL is known for it's wonderful use of background music. Once long ago (I think it was the episode called "The Canadians Among Us") they used 'Tryptich'. But last week they closed the show with Our Man singing "September Song". Okay, I'm going to bed. Just thought I'd let ya know.

I heard it on three Belgian radio's yesterday and this morning. Sting will also play, a nber of Belgian groups and some other Int'l groups or singer (still was asleep this morning when they announced it - forgot the names). Some of you will be there? Still no other Belgian's on the list? While I'm here, can I ask if someone know the historical background of this RM reunion? Why, when decided, is there gonna be a new RM/BF album? Is it a reunion for one tour or have they really decided to start the group? ciaooo - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Stobbelaar" To: Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 1:26 AM Subject: [AVALON] Roxy Music in Belgium > Hi all, > > Great news for some of us. > Roxy Music is one of the acts at "Roch Werchter" in Belgium. > 29 & 30 june and 1 july are the dates of the festival. > I don't know what day they are giving their performance. > Who knows more? > > Cheers, > > Ed > > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > The subliminable footer says: > To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: > unsubscribe avalon ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V6 #121 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
