Re: more lyrics help! Re: to save everyone some time... Re: to save everyone some time... park west Iron Horse Show fegMANIA! ------------------------------ Subject: Record LP's on a CD? Date: Sat, 8 Mar 1997 08:56:57 -0800 (PST) From: "Daniel Saunders" I just got this message through the Ears 2 Hear (music store) mailing list. I though some of you would be interested. --------- EARS 2 HEAR MUSIC is pleased to offer a new service to you our customer(s)! We know of a friend of someone who's brother used to know someone that my wife went to high school with, who is willing to record your ancient collectable LPs onto CD, for mere pennies a second! Okay, I'm mostly joking about that last part. Actually, we're talking about very high-end, quality equipment and process that will be used. The CD's produced will sound identical to the original LP. The prices include the cost of the blank CD (but not tax), and could change at any time: $25 to record one LP onto one CD $30 to record 2 LPs onto one CD (or one double LP, max. 74 minutes) Ask for a quote on larger orders. You must prepay the full price, but it will be partially refundable if you are not satisfied with the result (have not worked out details of this yet). You must own the o riginal LP, and we may refuse to record offensive material. ------- I'm not sure of their e-mail address, but they have a web page you could look up.

"Raining Twilight Coast" from "Eye". Incidentally, these are Robyn's two best albums, IMnotsoHO. Go and seek ye the albums known as "Eye" and "Underwater Moonlight". > In the spiritual kingdom of love, you're the one that i'm dreaming of "Kingdom of Love", also from "Underwater Moonlight" > said i'm a willow bending in your mind. i'm a mirror cracked from side to > side "I'm Only You", from "Fegmania". One of my all time favorite Robyn tunes which will be always special to me for reasons that are nobody's business but me own :). > i know, i know.. i should probably know all of these, but i don't, > and i'm sorry.. *sob* so i rely on all you wonderfully lovely people to > help me. *grin* Well, no one's going to get down on you for not knowing them, so it doesn't hurt to ask :). One wonders, though, which Robyn albums you -do- have? :) :) These are three of the best. Of course I probably shouldn't be talking this way, since I'm fortunate enough to live in a large city (and one with a pretty active music scene), it's probably a lot easier for me to find Robyn stuff than it is for you. Good luck and happy hunting! Love on ya, Susan n.p.

(for those who care, he was wearing a white shirt, black vest and black jeans.) as he has at other shows, robyn began with a short reading from the book. i wonder if that was simply a diversional prop, as the selection he "read" was as surreal and stream-of-consciousness as any story he's made up on the spot. he then donned the acoustic and began the set with "daisy bomb", accompanied by the dear janes who sang along from the stage door. the complete setlist for those keeping score at home: (acoustic) daisy bomb lysander the wind cries mary the devil's radio feels like 1974 only you i something you the yip song (electric) i am not me you and oblivion airscape freeze only the stones remain (encore) queen of eyes (acoustic) glass hotel dechirico st. robyn appeared to be set on leaving the stage for good after the encore, but the crowd got him back once again and he closed the evening with another selection from the book (which was, if possible, even more surreal than the first reading). some random observations: "lysander" was introduced with a ramble about an reconaissance airplane flying high above a checkerboard with huge white chess knights on it, toliets flushing in ann arbor, computers which have taken over the world attempting to become more human, and the few people left making a porno film in the airplane. after finishing the song, he pointed out that the middle bit was about an american woman wearing headphones while feeding dogfood to anubis in her london flat which, coincidentially, has the gateway to eternity in the closet. "wind cries mary" was introduced in spanish. i'm still not sure what i think of "feels like 1974". it's alright while he's playing it and it has a catchy tune, but the song seems a bit too, i don't know, inside-joke-and-reference-laden. i guess that is often the case with many of his songs, but it's usually not the focus of the song. the guitar solo for "only you" was the most together i've heard so far -- usually, it seems as if it is about to fall apart. "you & oblivion" was stunningly menacing. or menacingly stunning. or both. 'twas very odd to hear "dechirico street" without deni bonet. my mind involuntarily filled in the violin parts. i did tape the show. interested parties may feel free to contact me. woj ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 09 Mar 1997 22:05:54 -0500 From: Alex Tanter Subject: Iron Horse Show Assuming the Iron Horse show is going to happen, who from this list is going?
