These are shrtened to only show how the chords go (ie, didn't bother to write out alla the verses) and they are ballpark-right chordwise. Just wanted to give Terry a break, tho these will need tweaking..... Oh, and ya may have to transcribe these into a different key. Since I can only tune my guitar to itself I didn't bother to match pitches cuz i would have been labeling em wrong anyway. 1. Birdshead C F Dm7 F C Birdshead, grow on my shoulder, and when i'm older, whither and die .......(large elipse)...... F G F G Birdshead with your round black shiny eye Dm7 F C G Birdshead what do you know bout the sky etc. 2. You've Got A E (Esus4 E) You've got the power of motion A E (Esus4 E) You've got a world you can choose A B E A B You've got so much that there's only your self you can lose. ....large elipsis..... E C#m Everything you'll ever want and more A B Dark green waves that crash upon the shore A B C#m Can wear you donw but they'll never break you etc. 3. Raining twilight coast NB: the solo lines differ between demo and final version, and i dont feel like transcribing either, but here are some hints. start up at the 7th position and kill the b string with yer pinky so ya can play the open e and the e on the g string on fret 9. for the intro you will walk down the neck from Emin to D C G and D chords (implied in what yer picking) with the riff before the verse starts being a matter of messing around with the fold D chord (eg, you'll be playing Dsus2 and you'll be pulling off the D on the b string for teh 6th and stuff like that)and then *pow* into Em. Anyway, the song goes something like the following. I just wanted to give ya some clues for working out the intro etc. Em C D Em I'm on the raining twilight coast C D A Sending out postacards to the one i love D G (walk bass g,a,b,d) And the rain falls up from the ground C A No one sees it cuz theres no one around D C D C One thing baby you forgot my heart D C Em One thing baby you forgot my heart. etc... *hugs* Dan ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Oct 1995 00:10:28 -0400 (EDT) From: Terry Marks Subject: Gloss Fish To: Pretty Girls and Anglepoise lamps Well, the deadline has been extended another month. Congratulations on There Goes Bill and Other Days for promptness. The rest of you, tell me how it's going, ok? Thank You. Terry "The Human Mellotron" Marks a013645t@bcfreenet.seflin.lib.fl.us ps. If I'm trading with any of you and am supposed to send you something, *please* remind me. I've just forgotten quite a bit lately, that's all. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Oct 1995 10:46:23 +0100 (BST) From: M R Godwin To: The Can Opener Subject: That Barrett LP again So RH is still citing the Second Barrett LP as a favourite. There was some doubt about this among contributors because it is generally thought of as LESS together than The Madcap Laughs (so if you found TML a bit wayward, it is unlikely that Barrett will appeal either). Baby Lemonade is the best song on it; Dominoes and Gigolo Aunt are good too. The guy called Jerry who plays drums for Syd is JERRY SHIRLEY who went on to a band called Humble Pie with Steve Marriott, Peter Frampton and Greg Ridley (Frampton was later replaced by Dave Clempson of Colosseum). Jerry's playing on the Barrett albums (he is on both of them) is very sensitive and creative. The only thing missing on Barrett's masterwork, The Piper At The Gates of Dawn, is a trained drummer. - Mike (Color Out of Space) Godwin PS Sorry I misidentified Surgery as Tonight. I just read "I think the song is called Tonight" without checking the appended lyric - MG ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 02 Oct 1995 08:38:09 -0500 (CDT) From: JAY LYALL Subject: Heaven single To: fegmaniax@ns2.rutgers.edu I found a copy of the Heaven single, but the b-sides were also on the album...does anyone know if they are alternate takes or anything, so I can justify going back and getting it? ...the other big find was Robert Mitchum Sings Calypso...god is it awful.... jay %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Jay Lyall "Capy Toad Blast" "If you could free my inner child hist1a@jetson.uh.edu Then I could free your inhabitions."

OK, this is a "me too" post. (So whatcha gonna do, make me some toast?) My only justification for breaking the unwritten rule, is that someone might reply direct to Bradley rather than to the list, leaving me in the dark. Like many others, I too find Robyn's banter a key part of "the Robyn experience" and something sadly missing from his recorded works. If anyone can help me track down some of the same, I'd be most appreciative. Does anyone have a list of what "personal recordings" are in circulation? I'm totally new to this concept and don't really know how this trade/swap thing works.

Many thanks to whoever it was sent me over that demo tape of Bradley & co.! Sounds pretty gopod - can't wait till they get to NZ! The medley of Soft Boys material was deftly woven together, but the title needs work. I just don't think that "The pigworker's reptile wants to destry your underwater toilet" is catchy enough... That a capella version of "You'll Have to Go Sideways" is a definite winner, though! --- oh, and to whoever said that the Trilobite might be 140 000 000 years old (Mike? Mark? Murgatroyd???), *boing!* "sorry, that's a wrong answer!!!" Trilobites lived from 250 to 500 million years ago! James James Dignan, Department of Psychology, University of Otago.

I'm wondering if someone who is familiar with that version of the language could look over the Can of Outtakes album, see if any of the words make more sense that way. Thanks.

I don't think it's particularly Cambridge slang - we say that in St. Albans, too. (Although Cambridge is only an 50 minute drive from here!)

("Butcher's" from "Butcher's Hook" rhyming with "look" I think, though I'm happy to be corrected on that.) Jonathan. (keen to hear a barnet report for the "Tribute to the Soft Boys" tour).
