Production does have a lot to do with Snoop's success and I don't get much out of his lyrics, but I DO think that his voice has something distinct and interesting about it.

I'm a 23 yo med student in Alabama, and have been a feg for six years or so. I've really enjoyed this list (as well as learned quite a bit), so thanks/kudos to all. I've noticed a seasonal tendency in my RH listening habits as well; spring/summer tend toward the bouncier albums (UM, Fegmaniac, GoF), while fall and winter catch me with the more melancholy (IODoT, Eye, parts of QE). Following an older thread, Eye was roughly my 8th CD, and I now own (roughly) 20 RH discs (commercial releases/imports only, no rarities). I have managed to acquire the Albion Records "Groovy Decay" at some point; but I mainly listen to the Deco for those rare times when I need a fix from that album. Oh, and Susan, SOME hard-core Jimmy Buffett fans make it on up the road to enlightenment :) Thanks to all, especially woj, for keeping the list alive and kicking, as well as for letting the poor, feeble likes of myself post occasionally :^) Mark Ponder If at first you don't succeed, try again.

The term "modern" or "modernist" usually is in reference to the modern period, as opposed to the classical, medieval, renaissance (etc.) periods in Western culture. In this respect, "modern" wouldn't apply to Robyn--he would definitely be "postmodern". In fact, being a graduate student of literature and philosophy, I would posit that Robyn is a wonderful example of what postmodernism is, at least lyrically. There is a multiplicity of meaning, a certain enigmatic character that allows the listener to form her/his own opinions of meaning, and there is a good mix of humor and seriousness. Another characteristic of postmodern literature is a certain wordplay that goes on. Moss Elixir-Mossy Liquor, Respect-Spectre, Groovy-Gravy-Decay-Decoy-Deco are all good examples of this in his song titles... an example in his lyrics might be "Caroline, no need to spell it backwards, that's Enilorac" from _I Am Not Me_.

And I'll second that, except for the bit about coming from Wales - they're from Sheffield in England. Fantastic band - _On And On_ could be a sixties classic, _She Said_ is the perfect pop single, _Far_, _Lost Myself_, _Jesus Christ_, all gems. And they're awesome live - I've seen them 3 times now. And, like Pulp, Suede (that's The London Suede to Americans) and Radiohead, they put some effort into B-sides. >Also, I haven't seen any mention of the import "Kershaw Sessions" cd. Just bought this the other day. Bit patchy - my faves are _52 Stations_, _Birds In Pespex_, _Arms Of Love_, _Oceanside_, _The Banana Boat Song_, and the live takes of _Brenda's Iron Sledge_ and _Heaven_. I think their comment in the notes says it best - "Trying to recreate something that took weeks in the studio in a few hours for the BBC always seemed a bit strange to us..." - and the notes go on to say that the band's favourites are the live or semi-live takes, which mostly match with mine.

The word modernist has more implications than I accouted for, but if consider the 50 or so year lifetime of what we'll term "Rock Music," will you call all "RM" modern, or is it proper or acceptable to sub-divide it into a "classic" period, a "modern period,"...I know it's not as easy to do as radio stations seem to think when creating formats. Maybe it's best to just put all fifty years in one batch and classify it as a whole.( That's the trouble with labels and genres, they're so subjective). That bein said then, I proclaim I like Superchunk more than the Beatles, etc. I didn't so much lump all those people together or imply they're "the same"as I was just listing. I own many of their lps, listen to them, enjoy them,... you read to much into that (I could have been clearer) and sorry it irked you.ope I'm not sounding grumpy because I'm certainly not.

In fact, >being a graduate student of literature and philosophy, I would posit that >Robyn is a wonderful example of what postmodernism is, at least lyrically. I wonder about this, really. It seems that _musically_, one of the things that distinguishes Robyn from most other "retrodelic" or sixties-sounding artists is that he's not Postmodern. I ran into this problem when trying to describe the difference between UNDERWATER MOONLIGHT and the Dukes of Stratosphear. They're both 60's psychedelia. They're both clever and funny. But ... but ... the best I could do was to say that the Soft Boys took the musical style _seriously_ while Andy & co. didn't, and that gave totally the wrong impression to the person I was talking to -- that U.M. was duller. I guess what I really meant was that XTC were being Postmodernist -- like Gorky's Zygotic Mynci or Chris Von Sneidern in this decade, they're obviously and consciously (in their consciousness and in ours) assembling collages out of quoted previous styles, movements, and songs. The Soft Boys, for all that they turned song structure "upside down" and messed around, were writing in the late-60s psychedelic style because that was Hitchcock's _natural idiom_, his tastes having been formed in that time. This is part of the appeal of the Soft Boys and the Egyptians. They're the last of the great '60s bands, yet it's not true that their stuff sounds "dated" or anachronistic -- it sounds like what music would sound like in the 80s if it had developed straightforwardly from the late-60s without splitting into prog rock and punk. I don't think anyone else has done this since them -- there have been a few isolated albums (the Posies' _Dear 23_ stands out as the best Moody Blues album the Moody Blues never had the talent to create), but mostly 60s "revival" is conscious artifice like Jellyfish. And you can't really rock out to Postmodernism, 'cause you always keep hearing that ironic chuckle. - David Librik ------------------------------ From: "Glen Uber" Date: Thu, 3 Apr 1997 11:16:30 -0800 Subject: Re: 0% Robyn content Also sprach Tom Clark : > Hey - it had crabs and the Devil in it.

I'll watch my word usage in the future for fear of being put over her knee yet again!! One can have no fear of revealing ignorance if they are to counter it. I was pleased to se Woj wax positive about "Real Ramona" because I think it's a very underrated lp. Certainly geared to the mainstream (there I go labelling again) but I like it a lot. "Red Heaven" I liked from the start. "Hunkpapa" has it's moments ("Bea", "No Parachute"). I don't think the Kiwi Chris Knox is the same as the one who worked on BSDR or Plutonium Express, though I've been wrong before. Andy left Polly Jean Harvey off his list of women in rock. 40 wacks to yee for that. Susan mentioned Phil Spector on "The Long and..." and I'm reminded (being the unapologetic to a fault modernist that I brag I am HAR HAR) that he also created the low point in the Ramones career, "End of the Century," the one with "...Rock & Roll Radio." Production, in the wrong hands, is evil. Just heard that Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor are being tabbed as possible "Star Wars" cast members. Where dpes that leave RH? Fairly new to the list, I weigh in with the track list from my own not defininitive "Best Of RH/RH & E" mix.

In honor of Glen Uber's suggestion that "Lucifer Crab" be the title of Robyn's new CD, I've put it in my email address. (see above) 2. Re: Modernism... Yeah, David (Librik), I think you've got a good point. It's hard to be consistent across the board when one tries to classify anyone, anyway... but you make a good argument for Robyn not being a postmodern. 3. All this talk of the forthcoming Rhino comp. makes me want to mention the A&M Greatest Hits comp... There wasn't much talk about this CD on the list, but from comments about the Rhino comp. I take it that most were either disappointed or indifferent. I'm curious to know what it was that turned people off, or why they think it isn't a good comp. to give to friends, relatives, dentists and organ donors. Personally, I think that A&M's mistake was to go the route of the "jangly, catchy pop-gem" type Robyn Hitchcock song. I guess they figured this was the most marketable stuff of Robyn's A&M CD's--and, to be fair, it did comprise all of his released singles as well as some others that could very well have been released. It is puzzling to me, however, that they included "Legalized Murder" instead of "Watch Your Intelligence", and that they frankenseined the "One Long Pair" acoustic intro with the studio version of the song. Everything else (except for maybe "More Than This") fits... As for me, I guess it's worth it just to get the splendid Egyptians "Alright Yeah" and the beautiful "Bright Fresh Flower"--easily one of my favorite tunes from the Egyptians period. Whaddaya think?
