Re: HR5 spotted! ======================================================================== Date: Wed, 14 Jul 93 10:54:29 MEZ From: Dirk Kastens Subject: Age Are Five Hi, my alarm clock rang at 7:30. When I realized that it was cold and raining buckets I decided not to get up. Two hours later, I was just preparing my breakfast, it rang on the door. I hurried down the stairs and found a small packet from AG in my mail box :-) I really love the acoustic versions (SOS without the cheesy french horn!!!). I don't understand why Happy didn't use her guitar more often on =P. Her singing is wonderful. As to the cover: not bad but could have been better (a bigger photo). Thanks, Happy. Thanks, Klaus (who ordered it for me).

I'd just fix them, but i'd like the actual sysadmin for our group to take a look first. I'm sure they'll get fixed at some point tomorrow. I just thought i'd let people know in case you go try to get something, and find you can't :) jessica ======================================================================== Date: Mon, 12 Jul 93 14:31 MET DST From: uli@zoodle.robin.de (Ulrich Grepel) Subject: HR^5, Precious Things Yeah! I think I should listen to Kate more often ;-). I got so much good music lately that I almost never put any Kate into the CD player. It's always a 'coming home' experience when I listen to it again. Today I just put 'The Dreaming' into the CD player, and woosh! the postman did arrive. Three interesting and long awaited items: 1. Jana's May/June NeXT-CD-ROM (unimportant on these lists, but what the...) 2. Happy Rhodes HR^5 (should I put TD out of the CD player or not?) 3. Precious Things (that's the magazine from the 'UK Tori Amos information service') I think I remove TD for a short time... Yow! Great! I love the stuff! And the 'surprise track 6'. What's this?!? Uli P.S.: Happy should avoid profile shots. ======================================================================== Date: Mon, 12 Jul 93 16:37 MET DST From: uli@zoodle.robin.de (Ulrich Grepel) Subject: CD-ROMs... Hi, did I say that the arrival of the Jana Publishing CD-ROM May/June was unimportant in this mailing list? NOT SO, NOT AT ALL! Mike, your Jeffy-NeXT-kite-pictures and Mike, your equipoise-pictures are on that CD!!! (did they ask you? ;-) ) Were it for a slightly better focussed picture, I now had a picture of Jeffy. So I only have a picture where I can recognize that someone is standing there. Bye, Uli ======================================================================== Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1993 19:17:23 +1000 (AEST) From: anthony@xymox.apana.org.au (Anthony Horan) Subject: Re: Cocteau Twins In apana.lists.rec.happy-rhodes, article <9307131449.AA12711@ns1.rutgers.edu>, you wrote: > Hmm...I didn't realize that "The Pink Opaque" was a "best of" album.

It was compiled by the band for release in the US by Relativity Records in the hope of increasing their exposure there. There are a couple of mixes of early songs on there that aren't available anywhere else. > Isn't 4ad based in New York? If so, why does all their stuff have to be > imported? Nope, they are, and always have been, based in London. > Stay cool...(under 80 degrees if you can manage it).... Easy. It's under 50 here!

Yay!) and a wonderful new Melbourne artist by the name of Margot Smith, of whom I'll tell more later.

That's pretty cool -- I did get a few responses of "wow, that's neat! what is it?" when I first submitted them. Maybe this'll generate some more stuff. I'm also going to be making a NeXTstep 3.1 loginwindow with Tirk on it. Why? Because once I not only have time to figure out how to get UUCP working in Solaris 2.1 , but once I get around to actually doing it, I'm going to rename my NeXT to tirk. It's very fitting. ... Y'know, I subscribed to them CD makin' folks at the Expo and haven't received anything yet. >Were it for a slightly better focussed picture, I now had a picture of >Jeffy.

Hmm, maybe this'll generate some interest in that Ecto faces database that never took off. I'm going to be moving into an apartment real shortly (shootin' for August 1 but I don't know about apartment availability yet -- I'll let Jeff give everyone the reason why) so if anyone wants to send pictures to scan (which I'll do with a better JPEG quantization now that I know that's what was wrong before) they should send 'em quick. >Bye, >Uli BTW, do you get the EAW too? If so, look in the Email section. Mike ======================================================================== Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1993 11:00:39 CDT From: Subject: Making Ecto Ecto yet again :-) Back in 1971, a friend related to me that another friend of ours had charac- terized me, behind my back, as "19 going on 41." By a linear extrapolation of that reasoning, effective today I am 41 going on 63. Too bad, in a way, that the aforementioned mutual friend is not in a position to employ me; were that the case, I might be able to make a case for immediate early retirement :-). But seriously folks, thanks for the various birthday greetings. In addition to being the birthday of John Chancellor and Gerald Ford, and the 60th anniversary of the first Popeye the Sailor animated cartoon, today is being celebrated in France as Bastille Day, the anniversary of the time in 1789 when citizens on the revolutionist side stormed the central Paris slammer and sprang seven political prisoners then on the inside. In the climate of presenile dementia that always seems to come with advancing age, like mine :-), it seems like a credible time peg to inflict on y'all (ah, the spirit of Bob's postprocessor :-) ) the following lyric, first recorded by the late parodist Allan Sherman around 1963: YOU WENT THE WRONG WAY OLD KING LOUIE Allan Sherman (Tune: more or less the French national anthem, which I have just realized I cannot spell off the top of my head, for the opening lines; "You Came A Long Way From St. Louis" for most of the rest) Louis XVI was the king of France In 1789 He was worse than Louis XV He was worse than Louis XIV He was worse than Louis XIII He was the worst Since Louis I King Louis was living like a king But the people were living rotten So the people they started an uprising Which they called the French Revolution And of course you remember their battle cry Which will never be forgotten-- You went the wrong way, old King Louie You made the population cry 'Cause all you did was sit and pet With Marie Antoinette At your place at Versailles And now the country's gone kerblooie So we are giving you the air That ought to teach you not to spend all your time Fooling 'round at the Folies Bergere If you had been a nicer king We wouldn't do a thing But you were bad you must admit We're gonna take you and the queen Down to the guillotine And shorten you a little bit You went the wrong way, old King Louie And now you ain't got far to go Too bad you won't be here to see That great big Eiffel Tower Or Brigitte Bardot You filled your stomach with chop suey And also crepe suzettes and steak And when they told your wife Marie That nobody had bread She said "Let 'em eat cake" We're gonna take you and the queen down to the guillotine It's somewhere in the heart of town And when that fellow there is through With what he's gonna do You'll have noplace to wear your crown You came the wrong way old King Louie Now we must put you on the shelf Now all the people are revolting, 'cause Louie You're pretty revolting yourself Personal to Dirk: rest assured Chicago is not on the flood plain. It does seem to rain about every other day, but it's usually at night. Off to see how much I can actually save with the "Be Headed For lunch?" coupon they were handing out on the street yesterday for Au Bon Pain the French Bakery Cafe (which hopefully will have some kind of French food on the menu :-) ), and thence to see if I can catch the matinee of _Groundhog Day_ at the public library.
