As a matter of fact, as I was looking at the CD last week I noticed a sign above the display which read 'Sorry, we cannot by law sell bootlegs.' So my question is - is this CD issued on a semi-reputable European label that would somehow make it appear as if it wasn't a bootleg, but rather an Import CD a la The Kershaw Sessions. -Jason ------------------------------ From: "Lupecheese" To: fegmaniax@ns2.rutgers.edu Date: Sat, 21 Oct 1995 15:33:45 GMT-5 Subject: ahhh!

Now it seems like it's changed. Half of the messages are about Terry now. Yikes. Not that I would wish Florida residency on anyone, mind you. 95% of the people in Florida either think that they're Barbie or Ken or wish they were Barbie or Ken. A truely frightening place. Robyn Content: Gosh I sure do like that Robyn Hitchcock guy, he's neat. Wowee! He writes insightful songs _and_ he's funny to boot! Golly. Brooks P.S. I just saw a CD that is very cool and I need to posses. It's called Fast forward Volume Two and it's on Brinkman records (a small European label.) I has Statue with a Walkman on it as well as a bunch of other good bands. It's a doulble disc set. It has two Chris Knox songs, a Mountain Goats song, a Virginia Dare song, a Simon Joyner song, and many more that I can't remember. I'll post an address if I can figure out where to order it from. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 Oct 1995 14:37:08 -0700 (PDT) From: Glen Uber To: Uncle Reg Subject: New producer? Would anyone know who is producing RH's new album? In the liner notes of _the kershaw sessions_ there was mention of Andy Partridge offering his services. Does Robyn plan to produce the album himself? And what are the chances of Andy P. and Robyn actually working together? Slante, ***Quotation of the week:*** "Outside of a dog, a book is Glen E.

"they got him by the riverside and then they took his shoes they sent him to his mother and they said he dated dudes" Just thinking that straight people, in general, would use "they said he dated dudes" in a hate song.

Keep a good head and always carry a light bulb. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is actually a quote from Bob Dylan in "Don't Look Back", the documentary about his 1965 tour of the UK. He's being interviewed in the airport and someone asks him if he has any advice, and that's the advice he gives. For some reason, he's carrying around a giant inflatable light bulb. Oddly enough, I'm listening to "Highway 61 Revisited" AS WE SPEAK. All right...
