Hrmph. I guess songs like "Low" and "E-Bow the Letter" are just like everything else on top 40, then... ;-) Anyways, whether or not one likes the new R.E.M. (I do), I've thought that the last three albums sounded quite different from each other -- OOT's odd poppy-yet-acoustic mix, AFTP's juxtaposition of lushness and starkness, _Monster_'s revved-up Iggy/glam/ sexsexsex geetarfest... Unlike most folks around here (apparently), I liked #1 and #3, and found #2 a mixed bag, but aside from being more straight-forward musically (something I'd content comes with increasing competence over the years, and happens to bands that stay together whether they sell one album or ten million), it's hard for me to see where they've lacked "innovation" -- it's not as though they've done "Stand Parts I-IV," y'know?

Spelling, particularly in the case of Celtic and non-European artists, is VERY approximate, and your corrections are reques- ted! If you want something from this list, I WILL NOT tape individual artists from each show--rather, you'll have to trade for the entire show. I realize this may burden you with music by artists you don't know or don't care for, but it's a royal pain in the hinder to try to cycle through all of these tapes to get someone's pick-and-choose list filled (Mtn. Stage usually has artists play two 20 min. sets, at both the beginning and end of the show, meaning you've got to spin a lot of tape to extract individual artist performances) making tape trading a chore rather than a hobby.

Robyn is such a good "performer." When you see a Robyn show you see Robyn, some songs, and a performance. The performance is not pretentious, rather it truly feels an extension of Robyn' true character and thoughts. This is so nice. And so inspiring. IMHO Robyn is a natural. He deserves an audience. Personally, I always find it difficult to read Robyn's liner notes / stories. They are so abstract. Yet when he adds his voice to them. His enunciation, his pacing, his chords and notes they make perfect sense to me. RH is a package deal. I'll take the whole shrink-wrapped nine yards of him. (Its not this way with everybody.) Stephen *Poetry SLAM is a bout, a competition, of acted out (prop-less) poetry on a stage that is judged by judges in the audience. The winners progress in tournament fashion until a main winner is had.

Guest celeb: Dave Koffee. A pretty happy Robyn this week, obviously looking forward to his trip and video shoot. No surprises on the opening set, but excellent stuff all the same. Robyn very chatty between songs, and the b-girl, g-hotel and y&o sequence sounding especially good. The real treat was the appearance of the lovely Morris Windsor on harmonies and shaky things. And 12 string ! Gave "Silver Wands" a stately mediaeval feel (as Robyn said it would), and freed Robyn to play some nice lead during "Higsons." Nice to hear Surfer Ghost again too, it's too good a song to be lost. Tim turned up to join in the second encore (after the club announcer had said that Robyn had finally gone and people had started drifting away - they fooled us all!) - all sounding fab. A closing cry of "Bring back REM" from Robyn and they were off...

In my canon the surrealist painter order goes: 1 Max Ernst 2 Max Ernst 3 Yves Tanguy 4 Salvador Dali 5 Joan Miro 6 Man Ray (he does a few paintings) 7 Roland thingy, the English one 8 Max Ernst a few more times / / I am afraid that, for me, Rene takes the wooden ironing board. I agree with whoever said that de Chirico is more of a proto-surrealist, but he is a good one - specially that room at the Met.

I have seen Robyn there twice, solo acoustic. Maxwell's has a wonderful sound system and always an incredibly "informed" and appreciative crowd which tend to make bands play for at least an extra half an hour after they have finished their normal set. Robyn is incredibly in his element there. Now if only I can get a ticket. Will someone send me the track listing to Mossy Liquor. I have a tape of it but no track listing.

Any > chance you or anyone else could post the lyrics to the entire song? Yer 'tis! I downloaded this lyric from mike hamilton's website at: http://www.reed.edu/~mhamilto/syd/syd.html OCTOPUS Trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro' you have no word trip, trip to a dream dragon hide your wings in a ghost tower sails cackling at every plate we break cracked by scattered needles the little minute gong coughs and clears his throat madam you see before you stand hey ho, never be still the old original favourite grand grasshoppers green Herbarian band and the tune they play is "In Us Confide" so trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro' you have no word Please leave us here close our eyes to the octopus ride! Isn't it good to be lost in the wood isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood meant even less to me than I thought with a honey plough of yellow prickly seeds clover honey pots and mystic shining feed... well, the madcap laughed at the man on the border hey ho, huff the Talbot "Cheat" he cried shouting kangaroo it's true in their tree they cried Please leave us here close our eyes to the octopus ride! The madcap laughed at the man on the border hey ho, huff the Talbot the winds they blew and the leaves did wag they'll never put me in their bag the seas will reach and always seep so high you go, so low you creep the wind it blows in tropical heat the drones they throng on mossy seats the squeaking door will always squeak two up, two down we'll never meet so merrily trip forgo my side Please leave us here close our eyes to the octopus ride! * * * * * The lyric to 'Clowns and Jugglers' is printed in the booklet accompanying the 3-CD 'Crazy Diamond' boxed set: more or less the same song as the final 'Octopus', but with a couple of extra lines, I think. The set also contains an early recording of 'Clowns and Jugglers'. - Mike Godwin ------------------------------ From: TchdnJesus@aol.com Date: Thu, 26 Sep 1996 12:39:03 -0400 Subject: Re: Which comes first??

The last solo concert I saw was years ago - he did takeoffs of Elton John and of Leonard Cohen ("Then you bring your love to me, like a poodle in a suitcase..."). Before that he did those terrific stack-heel boots GRIMMS shows with McGough, McGear, John Gorman et al, and before that was the Bonzos... As far as I know, he has done virtually nothing since Rutland Weekend TV. Any news? - Mike Godwin "I have often thought, in the back of my mind, "Cheese and Onion...

Being a little harsh on poor old Monsieur M aren't we? I must admit though, as much as I enjoy his work I wouldn't necessarily put him in the number one slot. (other than for purely personal/sentimental reasons) My earlier comments re Robyn could be said to apply to the surrealism in general - rather than Rene in particular. (Another Robyn-esque surrealist you might consider is the Belgian, Paul Delvaux) Mind you, I think the Magritte/surrealism-Robyn connection is valid. Here's a quote: "The surrealist is not concerned with the fantastic as an outside presence; rather it is something inherent to reality that can be exposed to us though art. Magritte believed that a viewer could be released from the banality of her perceived reality by viewing that reality in a disrupted context." ...I think one could apply that to some of Unca' Bobby's work, no? That said, if any wooden ironing boards are to be handed out I might consider Dali a contender - I never have been able to make up my mind about him... (Give me Tanguy over Dali any day!) > ... de Chirico is more of a proto-surrealist... True. I believe Tanguy, for one, was inspired to paint after seeing de Chirico's work. > - specially that room at the Met.

I got 'em in Montreal! The Montreal Gazette published an ad today for the Billy/Bobby soiree. I had to convince the "Admission" (Ticketmaster affiliate, I think) clerk that the show was on, but I eventually left with 2 tickets in my hand. They were $27.51 each for general admission (there's no reserved seating available). Go get 'em! PS: the tickets say **AUCUN MAGNETOPHONE OU CAMERA**.

I heard about this book while I was on a flight from Chicago to Denver, having a very nice chat with the fellow next to me (which is unusual to say the least). We were talking about something, when the TV screen lit up on the wall in front of us, and there was America's Mom, Joan Lunden, telling us about this silly book, and introducing its author. The one misquotation I do remember was from "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", and the famous line: "the girl with kallidescope eyes" became "the girl with colitis goes by" Our conversation was stopped by a .50 caliber bullet, we were laughing so hard.
