But of all the supposedly useless crap I've read today, only yours brought me down. I mean, it would be real nice if my neighbors' dogs didn't piss on my weeds, but I guess I'd rather have pissy weeds and friendly neighbors than the alternative (substitute "hit the delete key a few more times and have relaxed and unrestrained fegs"). As always, I await the Word Of Woj on all things feg, but I like the way this culture has defined itself over the years. It's not for everybody; maybe not even every RH follower. Ob Robyn: I'd let Robyn's dog piss on my weeds if he was my neighbor. But if Terry Marks was Robyn I'd only let his dog "pi*s" on my weeds.

There's no use in that since the address isn't active anymore. I wrote them a letter about a year ago, but never got a reply. Maybe someone still lives there, because the letter wasn't returned, but you won't be able to get the CD from there... :-( BTW, from the 4-digit zip code you can tell that the address is over 3 years old...

But oh, the freedom of finially being unmasked.... Yes, You have delved thru the rescesses of a thousand schools of identity to discover the truth. Proof? Kay and Robyn are(like Kimberly) both androdginous names). What you never met a male Kay--well then, you've never read arthurian legend, have you? Kay and Robyn are oviously of similar vintage. Not only is my alias Kay, but her maiden name--Kay Lord Newburger-- Ends with an r and starts with a k--a direct mirror of mine own appellation. Kay pretends to be dyslexic. One of the definitions of a dyslexic is someone who thinks like a genuis even thou they're not. I am a genuis--so see, it fits. Sometimes I wish I was a pretty girl. 3) Actually, we're *all* Robyn. 4)My best friend, an incredibly tall girl, she finailly topped off at 6'1'' by12, was named Robin. In Central Park we used to ramble the Rambles(it was safe then), pretending to be in some stange British faireyland(which was actually much like Spenser's ) where Sir Kay and Robin Hood were conteemporaries in Haut Adventure. We also used to jump into the wallpaper in the dining room at school and slay dragons. A purely gratititious personal detail, but its part of my fondeness for Robyn. 5) Actually Im Warren Zevon. Except I dont drink. Much. Well, you know, too much. Well, not often, well--- you know... God its good to be back.

How much crud do you like between what the Byrds heard in the studio and what's on your speakers? All the original crud that the Byrds heard in the recording studio remains in any future remix. What gets left behind is the crud generated by the tape machine in the final mix, the crud added by the lathe and amps in the mastering, the crud added by contaminants when the mother was used to make a stamper, the crud on the stamper when it was used to make your lp, the crud added by your turntable. Similar insults to the sound result when cassettes are made. Worse, in fact, considering that the cassette you buy in a store is dubbed at high speed (can you say "slewing rate" ?). Even when an old recording is remixed from scratch, I have no strong objections. The artist is often a participant in the new remix, which can be a change from early recordings, where the opinion of the artist may not be sought or may not be worth seeking. There can be a problem where the producer is no longer available. Someone else submitted a letter about a dream. Sorry, but I can't fire up 2 concurrent sessions of my mail browser, and this is an afterthought, so I can't remember who. He asked if somebody in this list has straight red hair. Probably! That's hardly a conclusive test of precognitive dreams. Now, on the other hand, if he could only remember the song he heard --- I've had dreams with lost Lennon songs in them, but have never been able to retain them when awake. Robert Palmer wrote "Addicted to Love" in a dream. Do any of you use dreams for writing? When I'm writing a song, I often feel it's like recalling a half-forgotten dream. Like when parts of a song are effortless, and just feel right. I struggle to connect the dots sometimes, and sometimes get the feeling that I "remembered" it correctly. Other times, I'm definitely "making it up".

I've got a copy & would be happy to pass it along to a feg in exchange for some Robyn rarities or some other such arrangment. I played the disc a million times and it doesn't get played too much.

I'll make it short :). Without these irrelevant posts I never would have found out the fate of the real Syd. I never would have learned the wonderful word "sphengew". I never would have discovered the recordings of Paul Roland and Clive Pig. I never would have found out that "fegs" is in the dictionary. I LOVE IRRELEVANT POSTS!!!!!!:). The list would be boring without them! I do agree that sometimes there is an overflow of them, but far better that than a boring list that consists solely of "I found a rare 45"; not that this is a bad thing at all, it's very useful, but a list that consisted solely of such would be colorless, indeed, and in my opinion most un feg-like. I would be depressed if "fegmaniax" became that- in the words of Adam Ant :) "How would THAT be? Very borrrrrrrrring!". Susan who's off to do laundry, which is a hell of a lot more boring than even the most boring fegpost! :) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 May 1996 16:37:19 -0400 From: flaky white stuff Subject: the word of woj Also sprach BLATZMAN@aol.com: >It would be real nice if people didn't post more than 1 message to the list >per day. I don't need to hear from anybody on this list three times in one >day unless it's Robyn related. unfortunately, there are no posting rules for fegmaniax (aside from no chain letters, no political campaigning, no spam). at least not yet. while i "own" the list, fegmaniax is really owned by all of you. if enough people want posting rules like "only three posts per day" or whatever, i'm more than willing to enforce them, though i'd rather not have to. however, so far, in all the time that the list has been running (and not running), i haven't heard anyone ask for this. >Just be courteous. good advice which all fegs should follow. >My email address isn't your personal partyline. true, but by joining fegmaniax, you are implicitly agreeing to get any mail that is sent to the list. if that happens to be some junk along with the news and discussion, well, so be it. i'm replyed to the list because i want to hear other opinions on the matter. if anyone has anything to say about this, please send it to me (cc dave if you'd like) and i'll summarize for the list later. woj ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 May 1996 19:08:25 -0400 (EDT) From: !
