All the chat so far seems to be about the US release. The release date is July 23rd for the vinyl. Most stores don't know anything about it but you should be able to get them to special order.

And a second tape of rarities is being worked on by Bayard. And Michael Brage is working on something too I believe.... As for me, I had planned on revamping the original Uncarved Pumpkins tape--it was a rarities tape, but now half the songs have or will be released. But, after some thought I have decided not to touch it. Too much work. I've been spending way too much time in front of my tape decks. The performances of such songs as "September Cones" , "You've Got", "Surgery", and "Speed of Things" are great and shouldn't be deleted. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "Call up bop and I'm bunting stomach/ Koko mop I stop nothing plummet Thud on top, I ate the Chocodile." -Soul Coughing john b. jones jojones@syr.edu http://web.syr.edu/~jojones -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Jul 1996 12:14:44 +0100 (BST) From: M R Godwin Subject: Re: Bowie On Tue, 16 Jul 1996, Russ Reynolds wrote: > BTW, don't recall ever hearing of Robyn crediting Bowie as an influence, but > I notice a lot of the same head movements when he's playing and singing, I > find Robyn's vocal style to be *very* similar to Bowie's early 70's sound.

Rubbing defibrillator paddles together over corpse of violin thread... CLEAR! PHOMP! Beep beep beep beep... Hey -- nobody mentioned the Ordinaires -- a violin- (and generally string-) based band. Sure they were only around for about a second, but they did Kasmir (before Kronos?) and Adam whatshisname in Counting Crows wears one of their tee shirts (well, a tee shirt that says Ordinaires -- I don't really know who it belongs to) in the Me and Mr. Jones video. But he also jumps around alot. My best friend and I used to contend that the Ordinaires disk was a great way to get rid of a date we didn't like. Just crank it on the car stereo to make that awkward ride home seem all the longer. I works -- it grows on you -- like fungus. So there.

Peasant: Man. Arthur: "Man"--sorry...what knight lives in that castle over there? Peasant: I'm 37! Arthur: What? Peasant: I'm 37, I'm not "old." Arthur: Well I can't just call you "man." Peasant: You could say "Dennis." Arthur: I didn't know you were *called* Dennis. Peasant: Well you didn't bother to find out, did you? You'll recall from the BSDR (Rhino) liner notes that "The Man Who Invented Himself" was inspired by a tune from "Life Of Brian"...could this be the origins of Robyn's alter ego, Dennis? -russ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The End of this Fegmaniax Digest. *sob* .
