Even I agree there, although I did not want to argue the fact, I was just wanting to collect (for no particular reason) a list of people who were at one time or another concidered obscene............ I somehow end up thinking of everyone on the list as friends, ( all of who listen to and enjoy Robyn Hitchcock) who get togethere to make the days go by easier I was unaware that even the simple mentioning of something other than the man himself could couse so much problems. Thus i will be unsubscribing from the list. I was under the impression that we all understood that probably the only thing that all have in common is the love of one man's music. I was also under the impression that we were all mature enough to actualy discuss something else.....It would have been interesting, being that wee all have one thing in common, to see how some of us felt on other things that are in our lives. Thanks for all the great Robyn discussion I have had with you all............... -----Bret -'telephones and viruses and the passion of it all' -Robyn Hitchcock Post Script: Brett I will be in touch with you concerning the cd I picked up for you earlier today. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Feb 96 19:11:42 CST From: Truman Peyote Subject: internet stuff I understand how you feel Bret. I tend to think of the list the same way, and I didn't think there was anything untoward about your post. I also understand how Terry feels, because although you didn't mean for a big discussion to start, it inevitably DOES arise from posts like that, and it can be annoying to have to read post after post that has nothing even peripherally to do with the topic at hand. Especially since people are discussing this all over the place right now, and this is the only place where people discuss RH related matters :). I hope you re-subscribe.

"Work incognito in record shop in San Francisco for three weeks in the summer. Fired for incompetence." and.. "his roommate later opens "Neurotic Records"" --- thus, i have some questions. such as 1. what is the record shop story here--what shop, ect? it seems that robyn would have a hell of a time working incognito in a record shop in such a large city. and nay idea what incompitance is in this case, it does not seem to be an exceptional trying position to hold on to? 2. what is the neurotic recordings connection? who was the roomate? over, .chris ------------------------------ From: RxBroome@aol.com Date: Sat, 10 Feb 1996 22:35:43 -0500 Subject: More Clickot... It's a little too late to put the album on loud enough to listen closely, but here's that to which I referred: At the end of "Song No. 4", which closes the Ryko CD reissue of Moonlight, as I remember and as best I could ever hear it: Two voices engage in a dialogue which sounds vaguely confrontational: VOICE #1: Clickot! (Although it may just as well be "Cleethorpe".) (Pause) VOICE #1: Right. VOICE #2: That's it, then. VOICE #1: Right. Throughout this exchange, there's a sound building up, resembling nothing so much as that of a beer bottle hitting the floor, rolling lazily into a corner, and settling down to comfortably live out the rest of its life there... only the recording is backwards, so that it instead leaps up from its contented rest, careens backwards across the floor and is pulled against its will back up onto the tabletop it had so longed to escape. And that's how the record ends. That aside, what the hell does "clickot" mean even within the context of "Certainly Clickot"? Anyone English out there with any insight? -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Feb 1996 23:59:00 -0500 (EST) From: Terry Marks Subject: Re: More Clickot... > > Two voices engage in a dialogue which sounds vaguely confrontational: > VOICE #1: Clickot!

Given the high turnover I'm sure this list has, I think we can take it for granted that fegs younger than a month or two will not have lived through one of these shootouts and therefore chime in with some off-base post because they don't know the protocol. The question, then, is what is more irritating and dark green energy consuming: shooting the poor feg down, or pressing "delete" when you realize you have been duped. Seems obvious to me. Of course, I suppose I am susceptible to the dreaded "I don't have enough bandwidth" retort. Seeing as I haven't a clue what bandwidth is, I can't really answer that now. part of the problem, franklin. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Feb 1996 09:17:10 -0600 (CST) From: VERMIN-IN-TRAINING Subject: beating Exon with a clickot bat ....I haven't really been keeping up with the threads lateley...two of the other lists I'm on are having the top five US/UK albums ever threads that go on forever...over a hundred mail in this mornings box since friday.... BUT ...I did learn some Scottish songs over there, most of which were fairly obscene and obnoxious, and in many cases involving foreskin...one however was sung to the tune of nick-nack paddy-whack much like the Classic YIP song (sans mentions of foreskin).... ...anyways I don't know if people around this list are into Scots-folk music but there is a band from Houston that is beginning to tour outside of the state that is pretty good...Clandestine is their name...so, if your into that genre check 'em out...if your not think of them as "Enya un-plugged"...not really but I'm amused by that phrase... jay %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Jay Lyall "All my friends do the model girl thing hist1a@jetson.uh.edu So I found me one University of Houston Now she wears my nose ring" --Lloyd Cole "Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip" "There's liquor on my breath --Robyn Hitchcock And you on my mind" --Replacements %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Feb 1996 14:23:01 -0500 From: spaced heater Subject: Re: Internet Stuff Debate Boo Child sez: > It sure seems like this whole "what is the scope of the fegmaniax >list" debate resurfaces from the briny deep rather often. for the record, i am not bothered by topic drift, and as most long-time fegs know, rarely stomp on threads when drift starts to happen. however, in the interest of keeping fegmaniax more-or-less flame-free, i would prefer that controversial, non-robyn-related, political topics be kept off the list. i don't care whether or not i agree with the message - fegmaniax is just not the place for these kinds of things, especially when there are better forums to discuss them elsewhere on the net. as always, feel free to bring any problems with this to my attention. by the way, i wrote bret a note explaining that i did not single him (or terry) out in my earlier post. i was simply warning everyone that a discussion of the telecom reform act and the cda would not be welcome here. i admit that i probably jumped the gun when i stomped it since no one had started firing from the hip yet, but then, i guess that was the point. woj ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Feb 1996 19:19:18 -0500 (EST) From: Jennifer Cynthia Waits Subject: Re: WARNING: 100% RH content...

It's South of Market on Folsom Street (near 7th Street maybe...). A few years back Robyn also came by Neurotic to just hang out after he did an in-store at Rough Trade Records in the Haight. I can't remember what store he actually worked at...but there are currently several rock 'stars' working in record stores in S.F.....I don't even think that they get hassled...it's just a great testament to those wonderful San Francisco residents!!! -Jennifer (wishing I was still in S.F.!) #################b-l-o-t-t-e-r----------b-l-o-t-t-e-r####################### "A Bowling Green High School student was arrested Friday for allegedly stealing a hammer from the high school shop. Police seized the hammer and checked it into evidence." "Reports of 'wrestling and stomping' brought police to a Third Street apartment at 3:30a.m. Tuesday, where a resident complained about the noise."

Rockin good music, IMHO. Also Clannad, who are more traditional and concentrate primarily on Irish material, frequently singing in the original Gaelic. The Incredible String Band would also be good to look out for although their stuff is dashed difficult to find, and a band called Pentangle (also difficult to find), who take a more jazzy approach to this material. These are the only bands of this type that I am familiar with, I'm sure tha other fegs could come up with a thousand more :).

Here's how the lyrics go: Did you rip us off? does she even cough? you spell it like a duke everybody laughs You sat there in a trench you fiddle with your stench you move it all around and everybody said "Ah, whoopee, boy" You're very French but your heart's a target for the East there you go again oozing like a train shuffle with your wand leave it in a pond only got your stink cover it with ink putting on the blink no one can think because I tell you why I'm very dry 'cause my lips are tainted by your heart Here comes the yodelling hoover. She's gonna yodel over you She's gonna yodel over you right Everythign you like delivered in a spike when the spike is green I know you're feeling clean you know you're feeling clean feeling a thing that blossons like a ring the ring is like a rose the rose goes right through your body and you're very fat but your heart's encrusted by those spines Here comes the yodelling hoover. She's gonna yodel over you She's gonna yodel over you [] Also...it *sounds* like Robyn is singing "Wide boys mess a bit" in "Give it to the Soft Boys. DOes anyone else here it this way?
