Can you please tell me if an ad of nissan primera,featuring the music of "more than this", was also broadcasted in your countries?? If you watched the ad, you will probably remember it: a highly sophisticated Darryl Hannah starred on it... A cousin of mine told me it had been recorded in Valencia, in a new and avantgardist museum called "the city of arts and sciences" (which is, nowadays, the most visited museum in Spain, I suppose those who go don't know the Prado :). Because of the ad, "more than this" became very popular in my country, it was played in pubs, discos, and so on. And yes, as the ad was broadcasted by the time the compilation "Slave to love" was launched, the record had that horrible sticker on the sleeve, with a shiny nissan primera on it. I told you I suppose it also appeared on other countries because the original ad lasted more than a minute. _________________________________________________________________ Descargue GRATUITAMENTE MSN Explorer en http://explorer.msn.es/intl.asp ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2001 00:26:52 +1100 From: "notdixon" Subject: Re: [AVALON] From Popbicth (Utterly Trivial) Er...no, I can't say I can confirm that one...................... -Doug - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 10:29 PM Subject: Re: [AVALON] From Popbicth (Utterly Trivial) > >> Celebrity Donger << > Penises of the rich and famous > > Brian Ferry's nickname in Roxy Music was > "spotted trout", on account of the resemblance > between his penis and said fish... > > Ooer can anyone confirm? > > Jonathan > > n/p Carry On Abroad OST > > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > 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 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001 13:55:16 -0000 From: "Douglas Robertson" Subject: Re: [AVALON] From Popbicth (Utterly Trivial) It sounds a bit fishy to me ?. and a trout has 2 eyes. or maybe they were skinnydipping and the fish got the WORM ?. and would not let go.

It's a soundboard recording of the 7/26 Atlanta show. This is an exceptional recording with only one facet that people might consider a flaw: it does not contain the "South Downs" intro, beginning instead with "Re-Make/Re-Model." The recording is very clear, with minimal audience noise, and even the low-flying aircraft which buzzed the venue as Colin was playing his piano piece before "A Song for Europe" is barely audible. Full artwork will be available. May I also add that this was one awesome performance. Copies are making their way to other people in the US who will be offering branches. In addition, I am making eight copies available to Avalon, with my standard rule, which will be watched for, that one-half the people I send this to must in turn make it available to others, by offering a minimum of four copies either on the Avalon mailing list or the alt.music.bootlegs newsgroup. Please do not tell me you are willing to share copies and then not do it; this will ensure I never copy for you again. If you would like a copy of this soundboard, which we're calling "Out of the Sky Came the Sun," you must: 1. Be willing to send good-quality blanks and a SASE for your copy. 2. Live in the USA. 3. Be one of the first eight people to reply to this offer. 4. Reply by Friday the 16th. 5. Understand that if you don't hear back from me, you must take my silence as a polite apology, that you were not one of the first eight. (But you have nothing to lose in trying!) 6. Reply to me, and not the list. That would be silly. Sorry to keep it domestic, but I seem to be 0-for-4 in getting packages to Europe this fall and I'm not going to make it any worse until Frazer, Simon and Richard actually get what I've sent them. Sorry as well for not composing a "you were too late" form letter, but nobody likes to read those anyway. This offer not extended to any flowery individuals whose name is quite contrary and who still owes me a copy of Dublin. If you miss out on this first branch, be patient, as several others will be growing shortly.

For me, it's not a question of what I would have preferred instead; I wouldn't be so presumptuous. I just didn't like it and somewhere along the way the copy I had disappeared and I never replaced it. For what it's worth, I don't own any of the endless repackages, and the only remastered versions I own came through the kindness of a list member. It's just not important to me to own every single permutation of every single item.

Richards" Subject: Re: [AVALON] SOTW: "Dance Away" And having spoken to someone involved in the record industry at that time it seems the only reason Dance Away was kept off the top spot is because Sunday Girl was released on 12" which made it more of a collector's item!

Hi Linn Yes I do agree. The strong chance is that Bowie will tour in June/July of next year. possibly playing five venues in the uk. Lets hope so..............I'll keep you posted if I find anything more definite.

Honest. > Andrew in Chicago Helene was referring to a different Volkswagen commercial, with a guy rushing in his Jetta to break up a wedding--that commercial features the J. Ralph song. It's a cute commercial, reminds me of the last 20 minutes of "The Graduate" (condensed into a 30-second spot). No cross-swinging rumble at the end, though.

I was just trying to understand the animosity "Dance Away" causes. If you are a strong adherent of the first 5 LPs, I could see where the disparity of the late 70's and onward stuff is like black and white. So Ferry aside, the song is fine - you have no beef with it. Since Ferry did do it, it suffers. Close? I tend to agree with you but I was just taking the song as it is and not comparing it with anything on the first 5.
