I want to go as Reg. I do not know who this enigmatic Reg may be, but I can say that he seems to appear unexpectedly in several places, sort of like a quantum particle. Since this will be a costume party, though, I will add the extra twist of coming as Reg coming as someone else, perhaps Clean Steve. So please don't call me Reg: therefore when I jam my Nick Lowe Cassette, if Anyone says "Take it away, Reg," I will certainly leave them gurgling behind the hedge. See you all there.

But not apalled, I only would have been apalled if I hadnt been included. Then it would have been offensive. But here comes Susan laying claim to Queen of Eyes.

Check out http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~bct7m/bacon.html It's the Oracle of Bacon site. You enter who you want to link to Kevin Bacon and it uses the Internet Movie Database to tell you the absolute quickest link. Pretty much anybody who's ever been in an English-language movie can be linked to Bacon in four links or less, usually two or three. There's also a version with Arnold Schwarzenegger. --Ryan ------------------------------ Subject: Re: black lace thighs Date: Wed, 23 Oct 96 16:36:09 +0100 From: Tom Clark Kay writes: >I challange susan to a leg off! >I too wear black thigh- highs fairly regularly, and all sorta other swell >stuffhaving the sorta legs that make grown men cry.

Then I'm sure you and your friend Steve would enjoy "The Oracle of Bacon at Virginia", http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~bct7m/bacon_info.html The number of films you have to jump to to get from the named artist to (in this case) Kevin Bacon is the "Bacon Number" assigned to that actor. They claim that Bacon Numbers higher than four are very rare! Clearly then, we should start ascribing a "Hitchcock Number" to any musical artist we come across. My guess is that numbers will be higher than for film actors (though we could reduce it by including producers). The real challenge will be to link our hero with obscure, historical, or people in very different genres. Hank Williams anyone? Little Richard? -Nick OK.

If it's true, Robyn could be linked to Hank Williams in the following way: Robyn -> Matthew Seligman -> Van Halen -> Hank Williams, Jr. -> Hank Williams Thus, Hank would have a Hitchcock number of 4. Another juxtaposed connection would be using Dolby to get to James Brown: R.H. -> Dolby -> George Clinton (Dolby's Cube) -> Parliament/Funkadelic (most of whom were J.B.'s former backing band) -> James Brown.

I just did a search in Firefly for artists with a similar constituency to RH. What I got back was pretty much the pantheon of alternative demiurges (XTC, Lou Reed, Replacements, Richard Thompson, Brian Eno, ad infinitum)--and George Friedrich Handel, for some reason. So it wasn't a huge help to me. Then I thought, the Listpeople are a better resource. People are always listing their CD changer contents, et cetera. I'm curious: Who are our collective overall favorite bands/artists other than Robyn? It's election season in the US. If this hasn't been done recently, I'd like to propose a poll to compile a list of what listers are listening to when they aren't listening to the hits(?) of this list's Hitch. This is a proposal only. E-mail me if you think this is a good idea, and if I get a positive response I'll post details about a rating system and time limit, et alii.

I picked up their album _Bikini Red_. I find it to be enjoyable, but not great. I can see how the band might have potential, though. Can anyone recommend another album by them? Does all their stuff pretty much sound like Guadalcanal Diary with fuzz boxes? Also picked up Wall of Voodoo's _Call of the West_. Now THAT I liked. I also remember now where I had heard Stan Ridgway's name. Didn't he also do something once with Stewart Copeland? RH content: One last thing I came across was a 45 of Jose Feliciano doing a song called, of all things, 'Hitchcock Railway'. Good lyrics, but it is ruined by a 'Classical Gas'-like production, a white-boy blooze chord progression and a lame attempt at Jim Croce's vocal style. Maybe it is just conditioning, but I thought that train songs were supposed to be either sad in in their lyrical content, or melancholy in their musical mood? This song is neither.

Yes -- their first full-length album (in the US, anyway), Gun-Shy. It's a lot like Bikini Red, though the guitar is perhaps a little louder. The Messiahs are by no means a great band, but those two albums are very energetic and the songs by and large have interesting rhythms and melodies, although there is a bit of homogeneity to the songs. As for potential, however, whatever potential there was was realized on those two albums, because the follow-up, Totally Religious, was absolutely positively awful. It sounds like they got self-conscious and tried to write an album that sounded like them but forgot to bring the songwriting with them. I don't know if they've done anything since then. Aaron J.

I don't know if anyone remembers me mentioning a blues-guitar playin' man that I once had the ill-fortune to be involved with? Well, this fellow once gave me for Christmas a bootleg record called "The Million Dollar Quartet", which featured Carl Perkins, Elvis (Presley, that is), Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis.

You could just use Elvis Costello there. It's positively brilliant to bring up Old Nick here, though, I have to admit, as he can link up with many. He's almost as good as Peter Buck :). Of course, if you wanted to link up everyone from the "Pink Floyd : The Wall" tribute thingie, the Carrack-Tillbrook link's a good one to use (I don't remember what Carrack sang in it, though- I've never actually seen it, so I'm going on remembered reports from acquaintances who have- chiefly, I remember someone asking me who Paul Carrack was at the time).

Have a feeling that Bing Croby could be cut out too. I have the CD single of the "Little Drummer Boy" thing. It's got the dialogue intro from the TV special ("Sir Percival lets me use his piano when he's not around" :)). They were throwing it out at my radio station and I snapped it up. The FOOLS :). And, nope- No Sinatra/Bowie direct connection (unless you count Frank once telling Nancy that he wanted 'ole Blue eye/Green eye to play him if there were ever to be a film biography, because he "respects him as an artist". I swear I am not making this up). Not sure on the other path, but here's what I'm hopin': Iggy Pop-Chris Stein (or Ivan Kral, doesn't matter) Chris Stein-Debbie Harry Debbie Harry-Frank Sinatra Well, it COULD have happened, anyway!
