Apparantly, there's been a cd released to acompany the series Frasier. Not exactly a soundtrack, more of an easy listening side dish, featuring the theme tune itself alongside Etta James, Nat King Cole and Bryan Ferry's "I'm In The Mood For Love". I haven't seen it myself but I've just read the review in tha latest Uncut, which has a fantastic and lengthy Bob Dylan article to celebrate his 60th birthday. I've read somewhere that there's a Roxy feature for next month's Uncut, plus a free cd with 25 Beatles covers which includes 801's Tomorrow Never Knows. And Peter Sellers.

Ken Stringfellow of the Posies -- back to the pink hair now, eh? -- and Scott McCaughey of the Young Fresh Fellows and Minus 5 have been more or less permanent "auxiliary" members of R.E.M. since the MONSTER tour in '95, and they've recorded and played with R.E.M. on all the group's projects since then. Peter Holsapple, formerly of the late great dB's and now of the Continental Drifters, was the first "auxiliary" member (you can see him on R.E.M.'s '91 "Unplugged" appearance), but when he requested to be made a full-fledged member, he and R.E.M. parted ways. My guess is that Stringfellow and McCaughey are more content to see the R.E.M. gig as a chance to play with friends and pick up a big paycheck every two or three years, rather than trying to have more than occasional creative input. I was a fan of both Stringfellow and McCaughey before they started playing with R.E.M., so it's always great to see them. I thought that on R.E.M.'s '99 tour, their instrumental contributions were much more noticeable, valuable, and well-integrated within the group's sound than they had been in '95, bringing forth a righteous cacophony when needed. Plus Scott McCaughey looks more and more like Ian Hunter, and that's always a good thing. :-) (For what it's worth, I'm dreading the new R.E.M., as I never warmed to UP and even the favorable reviews keep comparing the new one to AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE, which is probably the R.E.M. album I like the least.) Obligatory sorta Roxy/Ferry observation: XTC's first ten CDs are being reissued, getting the limited edition vinyl-replica treatment, a la the Roxy/Ferry catalog in 1999-2000. Like the Roxy/Ferry limited editions, everything in the vinyl XTC packaging (including the GO+ EP packaging and BLACK SEA's green paper bag) has been faithfully recreated, including the shrinking down of lyric sheets from 12" x 12" to near-unreadable 5" x 5" like with AVALON and BOYS AND GIRLS. However, unlike the Roxy/Ferry stuff, common sense has prevailed with whoever was in charge of the XTC project, and larger, LEGIBLE fold-out lyrics and credits (in English and Japanese!) are also included. So no need to buy jewel boxes versions or microscopes with these reissues! Maybe the limited edition re-remasters will rectify this... :-) later, Miles ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 May 2001 15:23:59 EDT From: OBrienFerry@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] Always Unknowing/To Turn You On In a message dated 14/05/01 11:25:11 GMT Daylight Time, SIMONG@jazzfm.com writes: << Always Unkowing has always sounded unfinished to me, a little too sparse.

It always reminded me of A Really Good Time. >> To TurnYou On looks as if it did start around Bride as it has the same drummer. It is definatley a Bryan track as Phil and Andy don't play on it. The bass during the verses line definately follows the chord progression from A Really Good Time as Simon suggests. Bryan was once quoted in the gap between Flesh + Blood and Avalon that he was working in the studio with some stuff he had left over from previous solo projects but he didn't think they would be used as the new album. My theory is that this was one of these tracks. Jealous Guy was an impromtu single inspired by Lennon's death and as they needed a b-side they used something that was finished and To Turn You On was that track. The solo project theory is further backed up in that it is credited on the single label as being produced by Bryan Ferry and Rhett Davies as does Jealous Guy. Bryan said in an interview at the time of the release of the Avalon album that "To Turn You On is a quality track and I don't want it lost as a b-side". The b-side is slightly shorter than the album version in that it has the 2 bars of drum machine solo cut out from the begining and the whole track has a brighter sound on the album presumably due to being rmastered and cut for the Avalon album. I didn't favour this song at first but is probably my favourite Avalon track next to True To Life. I think Ferry's vocal is so fragile and powerful at the same time. He oozes emotion here, the line "...God help me..." gets me every time. You just want to throw him a line as he sounds as if he is sinking fast. ALways Unknowing does sound a wee bit unfinished as Simon suggests, does anyone know what he is trying to sing ???? ".....Lorelee Loreli...." ???? The Neil Hubbard meets BB King solo at the end is the highlight of the track comlpmenting Neil Hubbards lyrical style guitar playing.

I hope he doesn't become permanent as he is one of the greatest songwriters alive and he would never get that chance in REM, it frustrates and pleases me at the same time to see him take a back seat. But my interest has also been renewed since he and Scott McCaughey have been involved, their styles both work well within the REM sound. At least it will give Ken some money to carry on doing his own thing. Ken's former band THE POSIES (repeat - my second fave band of all time) officially split back in 1998 but have been touring over the past year mainly as an acoustic duo. Ken's solo album was due out next month but has now been moved to September to accomodate any REM plans over the summer, but I have been lucky enough to get myself a copy and it is truly amazing - baroque pysch pop meets fuzzed up guitars, with a country undercurrent and a nod to Big Star and The Left Banke. Ken's partner in THE POSIES Jon Auer has just released a solo ep of covers and also has a solo album in the works. As for the new REM album, I can honestly say it's very good, a bit psychedelic and nothing like Automatic For The People, which put me off them for quite a long time (7 years in fact). It was recorded mainly with the three original members, with drummer Joey Waronker (formerly with Beck) and Scott and Ken adding bits in here and there. Sorry for the off topic post.

I've always loved this track and it certainly dererved to be more than a b-side. To be honest it's one of the few tracks on Avalon that I ever listen to the others being Tara and More Than This. Cheers, Tom. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 May 2001 17:24:04 -0400 From: "Heather James" Subject: [AVALON] give me your poor tired websites ...

I've got a tape of Ferry being interviewed about Avalon, (which was the no. 1 album at the time) where he says that TTYO is his favourite track on the album, & that it was recorded " a little bit before the other tracks" & was written overlooking Central Park. which seems to support Johns theory.

Darling, No cause for alarm or the Dudley Do-Right of the RCMP, but my father was born in Hamilton, Ontario and his family line became Canadians upon entry into Nova Scotia from Glascow, Scotland just after the sinking of the Lusitania (1915) So if George Dubya Bush, Junior becomes a WCS (Worst Case Scenario), I might just renounce AMERIKA and become CANADA.!!! When I started college in the late 1970's, King Ronald Reagan was a REAL SOURCE of worry and war-mongering/saber-rattle-ing at our supposed SOVIET enemies as every young man in my school was forced/ joined SELECTIVE SERVICE (a PC-correct term for giving yourself a high draft number) and I seriously considered becoming a Canadian and sponsering friends in danger of CATCHING-THE-DRAFTas I have aunts on both sides of my family line in Kitchener, ONT. and Toronto. (I spent every summer of my life from age 0 to 16 in GLORIOUS TORONTO!!!) I suspect you hail from LOVELY THUNDER BAY. Room for another, honey? Anyway, doll, send a copy of your DETROIT ROXY CITY plans to maryjtomlinson@home.com. I have FRIENDS,complete with accents, to schmooze with in Murder City, u.s.a., artists or musicians in really cool bands (Mark Arminski, Detroit Demolition Dollrods, Dirtbombs, Lovemasters et al) But if you have a nice pair tickets to Detroit (Pine Knob or whatever corporate name they call it now-a-days) I'm there, baby. I HAVE 2 NICE FLOOR TICKETS TO ALLSTATE ARENA, CHICAGO, O-Tay?! C'mon DOLL, Chicago is only 6 hours away on highways from Detroit and you can re-enter CANADA from Salinas, Ont., about 45 min from Detroit and be BACK IN THE WILDS AGAIN with a 5 hour drive from Chicago. I will treat you and your courtiers as Royalty - AND I PROMISE NOT TO DECLARE CANADIAN CITZENSHIP!!! (Well, not Northern Ontario, anyway!!!) Yes this is a threat and how is your National Health these days? Georgie-Boy may rail at our supposed Red China enemies but he is re-fried BEANS & MUSH as yet.
