Those songs are much too ambiguous to be dark. Ambiguity is another great word. I feel it lies at the core of much of Roxy, and it is this very "which way to turn" that has sparked endless hours of listening to tracks and still finding something new for me privately, and for limitless interesting discussions on this list. I too, like Colleen, find little "darkness" in the obviousness of Goth. I find Iggy as Iggy, rather than Iggy the performer much darker than Marilyn Manson, Stiv Bators or the hilarious Johhny Rotten (as was). The thing about the ambiguity of darkness is that it can be as dark as you make it, tap into that recess of your mind that really shouldn't be visited too often (or at least only with a consenting adult present) to make of it what you will. I doubt whether anyone would find the pictures The Bogus Man paints in my mind very comfortable. >I always saw Ferry as more voyeuristic Another bedfellow of The Dark Side.

OK, OK. I can see what you and Colleen are saying. But still, there is something about the somewhat facile, claustrophobic freakishness of goth, or trashy horror movies, that is really really dark, to me that is. I guess it's the total feeling of non-empathy. I can't, nor would I ever want to imagine what makes goth fans tick. Therefore the movement is opaque, mysterious (though a mystery I wouldn't particularly want to explore) distasteful and well....dark. Not that I'm pollyanna, but I regard an abundance of darkness as something distasteful. Ferry, on the other hand....as Catherine said of Heathcliff... "I understand him more than I understand myself" (maybe not exactly those words but something like that). I feel like I can relate to his imagination...therefore he just doesn't seem dark to me. > > I doubt whether anyone would find the pictures The Bogus Man paints in my > mind very comfortable.

I still can't believe I am actually reading those words. Also, I don't want folks to think I am unwilling to share the BBC show: I can't burn CDRs and while I can make cassettes for my fellow Luddites, the way things are with my free time at the moment I can't really do so until the beginning of the August.

I hate it when I find something once and can't find it again... About three months ago, I ran across a great and very, very lengthy Bryan Ferry interview conducted in 1999 for something like Record Collector magazine. I can't remember anything else about it, other than I want to read it again. Does anyone have the faintest idea what I might be talking about, and where the interview might be? - --G. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2001 12:39:39 EDT From: OBrienFerry@aol.com Subject: [AVALON] Re: Commercial Ferry In a message dated 01/07/01 22:19:25 GMT Daylight Time, p0d26@pgd.keele.ac.uk writes: << You're right.

The studio version is much better. The rest of Golders Green Hippodrome is a nice concert. My two cents Daniel "Almost two decades after they kissed their past goodnight, Roxy Music are still, effortlessly, the sound of the future."

Listening again, I've come with the feeling that Roxy Music is art rock in a true sense, taking styles of art and applying it to their music. That Roxy's work should come across as "artsy" of course, is no surprise, but what I'm finding myself doing is finding and comparing their songs to artistic styles and movements. For example, their first album and single, Virginia Plain in particular, appear to me to be influenced by Andy Warhol and pop art. By taking the everyday and borrowing from "low culture" to make "high art" Virginia Plain illustrates this perfectly with references to American um...detritus, everyday catch-phrases sung over a synthesized wash of music. Bittersweet calls to mind Weimar Germany and Man Ray photos, stark, black and white, full of expression, a tuxedo song for a smokey cabaret. The question, Avalonians, is do you see any other artistic styles not only in Roxy Music's work, but in Ferry's work in general? Any other thoughts and opinions?

Perhaps I'm on my own with the following thoughts that I am about to air but it saddens me to see some of the comments made on this list. 1. When I first started going to Roxy gigs we didn't have the technology to record shows. We were grateful to go and see the lads and attend as many shows as possible. 2. I searched for a long time before I was able to amass the collection of live material I now possess. For the cost of a blank CD and postage I am more than willing to share what I have with anyone interested (please contact me to discuss) as my only desire is to enjoy Roxy's music, whatever format, and share that enjoyment with others. Call me naive if you wish but that's the way I feel. 3. What comes across to me regarding this list is that there seems to be an "us and them" mentality, the have's and have not's. I can understand if someone has spent a small fortune on rare records or cd's etc and wishes to keep them in pristine condition. But surely, if there is live material out there why not share it with others who are "mad" about Roxy? Or have some of Avalon's members got and elitist mentality? I'm looking forward to any replies!!!!!

I'm looking forward to any replies!!!!! Welcome Bryan. I do believe that what you have recently witnessed is a sad anomaly with respect to the trading spirit on this list (and perhaps in the interest of list harmony, one best left behind). Folks on the Avalon list are generally willing to share what they have via numerous CD trees, and are sometimes generous without asking in return. Please don't let an isolated incident from someone who doesn't get it color your view of the list.
