It's been discussed several times on the list--which of course isn't to say that it can't be discussed again since there's always a new twist, and with the new folks, it'll be especially interesting--and perhaps someone who has related posts might repost them.

I always struggle with these "decade" comparisons. I seem to have no problem finding music that I enjoy every year whethers it's pop/rock/experimental/goth ect. I suppose the old argument is that there was a more abundance of "good" rock in the early 70's. But, I just don't see it that way. I've discovered bands/artists every year since I started listening to music in 1974 that I really enjoy. Most of the stuff I listen to nowadays is not very poular but really who cares...I give the artists artistic freedom!

"For Your Pleasure" (Ferry) For your pleasure In our present state Part false part true Like anything We present ourselves The words we use tumble All over your shoulder Gravel hard and loose There all night lying With your dark horse hiding Abhorring such extremes You're rubbing shoulders With the stars at night Shining so bright Getting older But you'll wake up soon And fight In the morning Things you worried about Last night Will seem lighter I hope things Will turn out right Old man Through every step a change You watch me walk away Tara tara.... ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2001 19:23:34 -0700 From: William Sommers Subject: Re: [AVALON] (the first) song of the week: "For Your Pleasure" At 09:31 PM 8/22/01 -0400, Colleen Matan wrote: > The first song of the week is "For Your Pleasure" from _For Your > Pleasure_. Okay, I'll be the first to admit that this has long been the most obtuse song for me (lyric-wise) in the entire RM catalog. I've no doubt there is intended imagery -- or at least it is so image-rich that I cannot easily fathom otherwise -- but it is of a nature I have never been able to grasp, or more accurately, recreate. Which is not to imply that I dislike the song. Much the contrary, it's mystery has remained part of its allure. Musically, Paul draws me in every time and, as familiar as the progression has become, it never fails to fascinate. Tangentially: I recently filled out the gaps in my RM/BF remasters, and this album was one of them (the other was CL). I was completely blown away by Bob Ludwig's magic here -- it is an *entirely* new listening experience... to my ears, far FAR more so than any of the others. I am still stunned at how much has been hidden throughout FYP all these years. -wfs ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2001 21:38:27 -0500 From: "Rod LeCloux" Subject: [AVALON] The Bryan Ferry song Has any heard "The Bryan Ferry" song that is on "A Small Good Thing - The Pink and Purple World of Dishonesty" CD (Sol 45)?

It was fascinating watching all the videos of early Roxy. One thing I noticed was the keyboards: The keyboards in the early videos were the same ones that were seen onstage last month! Not just A vcs3, but The vcs3, the same farfisa (black and white keys reversed) same red guitar. Who owns these keyboards? Where were they stored all these years? Is this common? I'm not well enough versed to know if Andy played the same saxes, or Paul the same drums. Still, it was nice to see that they use the same gear at the heart of the band.

I'd love more information...e.g. When did their paths first cross ?

Alone. Perhaps Simon positioned himself in the "out-house", occasionally administering champagne and novocaine to our floppy-haired genius.
