Hitchcock To: Hitchcock Fan-List Date: Mon, 20 Feb 1995 15:32:17 -0500 (EST) My thanks to everyone who answered my query about the Roxy Music tune. It's from Avalon, their last studio album, and comes highly recommended. And widely recommended, for that matter. Anyway, does anyone know who the Lal Hitchcock is who was credited with the construction of the Underwater Moonlight models? Is this is mother? I know his mother's "second name is Joyce", so it's a possibility. Second, I took a look through the Library of Congress on-line facility and found 6 titles by Raymond Hitchcock, of which only one hadn't been mentioned here: here they all are with LC#s, in case anyone wants to do that inter-library loan thing: 1. 82-21523: Hitchcock, Raymond.

It's a .sea (self-encrypting archive) of the interactive program plugging Lush's latest album. it's a stand-alone Macintosh application (not a graphic or anything). Mebbe you're downloading it incorrectly. It's up there in binary format, I think. Boring trivia: I showed that program to Emma and the drummer of Lush, in my own office. Seems they hadn't even seen the thing (even though it had been distributed to millions o' people via AOL), and they were on campus for an interview and wanted to see it.

I hadn't picked up my guitar for a month. Law school having deprived me of perspective, I must have forgotten what is really important in life. Briefly. Anyway, that was the song that I made sure was playing on my stereo when my current girlfriend was coming over to pick me up for our first date five years ago. I made sure she heard the whole song, probably hoping she would think I was dark and edgy. Alas, when I played it for her on my guitar yesterday, she said, "Red House Painters?" "Don't you remember?!!!" I whined. But anyways, I'm glad the people with the knowledge are helping those of us with just the tools now, guitar-wise. While I'm here, I'll request a few things: 1. something from Eye 2. and privately perhaps, anyhting by Yo La Tengo (Fakebook!) or Red House Painters or Nick Drake. Thanks. scott.

(Butcher's hook = look) As you know if you've heard the song, the E A D6 combination stays on E for a long while then stabs through A to D6, then there's a gap b efore going back to the E. I find that going back to A in this gap keeps the right feel to the song (although the Soft Boyd filled it up with some neat basswork instead) If anyone REALLY wants me to, I could try to work out that lovely funky bass line, too :) James James Dignan, Department of Psychology, University of Otago.

Jones) Subject: Jet Fliers???? Hi y'all....I just finished reading 4 days of FEG posts, I was in Texas visitin my kin..... Upon returning, I found a note and a tape from Aidan in my mailbox.(Aidan is the nice guy who does the Postive Vibrations fanzine based in the UK) The tape is labeled Jet Set Flier. The note attached reads: "Jet Set Flier is an album I'd heard about, but never believed existed until I saw it. I'm sure its the Soft Boys album they'd all rather forget they ever made, but its rarity value and curiosity value are huge. It also is odd in featuring Alex Cooper (Waves) & Roger Jackson (Egyptians) as well as the 'normal' Soft Boys." I haven't listened to it yet--its 2: 1 5 am!!! I'd wake the neighbors, but track listing is as follows: Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town, When You're In Love With A..., Grandma's Feather Bed, Ghost Riders in the Sky, She Believes in Me, Jet Set Flier, Pretty Woman, The Coward of the County, If I Said You Had A Beautiful body, Amanda, Escape, Your Song. Fellow fegs, do any of those song titles sound familiar???? Some of those are songs I remember from AM radio when I was in the 7th grade!!! I am kinda scared to listen to the tape. Does anyone know anything more about this album. I want to believe that Aidan is pulling my leg. Just thought y'all :) would like to know about this..... ____________________________________________________________________________ John B.
