On Saturday night the wife & I stopped at Starbucks in Newark, CA for a cup of coffee. Packed house, lotta noise. My wife starts bending her ear to the music and says "this song sounds familiar...is this Robyn Hitchcock?" I couldn't hear anything but the drums and I thought it highly unlikely, so I responded with "yeah, right." But when the noise died down I realized the song was "Dwarfbeat"! So I asked the girl at the counter who selected the music and she said that it was a tape that was made in Seattle, and that most of it was music from the CD's they sell in the store. We looked at the CD's but didn't see any Hitchcock tracks. Then, two songs later "Somebody" comes on, so we decided to stick around. Two songs after that we hear "Glass" and two songs after that "Heaven"...we figure whoever made the tape had alternated between two CD players, one of which had "fegmania!" in it...then two songs later we hear "The Man Who Invented Himself (zinc pear mix)",two songs later "Queen Elvis" (with the line about blowjobs edited out!) and two songs after that was "Chinese Water Python" So somebody at Starbucks apparently went through an awful lot of trouble to expose patrons to Robyn Hitchcock. Anybody else heard Hitchcock at a Starbucks? -russ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Apr 1997 12:00:45 -0500 From: Lobsterman Subject: Royal Albert Bob!

I love it! Diary, and Frog Queen are just incredible, and lp 2 certainly has its moments. but what i'm wondering is how did you guys find out about them? are they really that well known? is it because they're on subpop? is it the Foo Fighters connection? or are you just very diligent in seeking out great music? i don't think i would ever have known about them if i wasn't living in the belly of the beast. 2. will the person who invoked Shai-Hulud last week please get your name and address to me, and i'll send you a prize. i don't know just what, yet, but it'll be good. 3. Album Covers: any robyn painting does me just fine. horribly unoriginal thought, but sincere. i think the most underrated though, has got to be MUSIC FROM BIG PINK. it didn't even get a sniff of rolling stone's top 100 album sleeves survey a couple years ago. 4. Songs I Wish I'd written: Let's Lynch the Landlord, Hunger Strike, Eier von Satan. robyn songs i wish i'd written the most: Flavour of Night, The Asking Tree, Sleeping With Your Devil Mask. 5. The new Steven Soderburgh movie, Schizopolis recently world-premiered in Seattle. As i suppose i was the first Feg to see it, i will do my duty and tell you to walk, don't crawl, to the cinema and SEE THIS MOVIE when it comes to your town. i honestly don't know when was the last time i've laughed so much in a movie theater. As The Big Lebowski probably won't be out until '98, this almost surely will be the second best movie of '97. which leads to... 6. FEGS FAVE FLICKS! send me a list of your ten favorite movies of all time, and i'll tot them up and post the results to the list. what could be more fun? 7. Possible FegProject, maybe even the Boxed Set: An A to Z compilation of the best version of each song. Obviously this will be very subjective, and as live versions will be in the running for many, many songs, these would have to be heard widely in order to be voted on. i've heard robyn makes a dat recording of every show, so if he could share some of these, we wouldn't have to worry about sound quality... ------------------------------ From: "Mike Hardaker" Subject: Seattle Date: Mon, 28 Apr 1997 17:57:23 -0000 Hello all... The older among you may remember me, but I've been skipping the list for a while thanks to absurd work commitments (I know...). Anyway, I seem to be heading for Seattle at the weekend, as the Microsoft PR people seem to feel I should have a wander around Fortress Microsoft, and I was wondering if any local Fegs could recommend anywhere civilised to have a beer, listen to good music and so forth. I'll be there from the 3rd to the 7th of May, staying at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue, which I assume to be as far from any fun as is possible since it's probably close to Microsoft... Equally, if anyone fancies a beer and one of those inevitable conversations where we agree furiously with one another about how good RH is, I'll see what I can do. Sorry for using the list for this - I suggest responses (if any) should be via mail.

I know mentioning any brand name in a song is verboten on the BBC, yet here in 'Merka, we don't really seem to care. I wonder how much publicity these products actually receive from being mentioned by name in these songs? Have any lawsuits ever resulted from their use? Do these companies like their names mentioned, do they fight it, or do they have any recourse at all? Any thoughts? This could also be the beginning of a new thread: Songs that specifically name certain products. I'll begin... "Lola" -- The Kinks ("...it tastes just like Coca-Cola/C-O-L-A Cola") "Kodachrome" -- Paul Simon "Come Together" -- Das Beatles ("...he shoot Coca-Cola...") "Pink Cadillac" -- BRUCE "Coca-Cola Cowboy" -- Mel Tillis "Jack and Charlie Daniels" -- David Allen Coe "Chevy Van" -- (I can't remember the artist. It's a cheesy easy-listening song from about 1975. I do know, however, that talk-show host Tom Leykis once recorded a version of this song with a Barry White-style breakdown in the middle. "Oh baby...take me by the hand...let me show you what love is...in the back of my Chevy Van...") "Take It Easy" -- The Eagles ("It's a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford...") "Jose Cuervo (You Are A Friend Of Mine)" -- Shelly West "Cosmik Debris" -- FVZ ("Is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?" N.B -- 'Sears poncho' is also mentioned in his song "Camarillo Brillo") "You Are What You Is" -- FVZ ("...he traded his daishiki for some Jordache jeans...") "Little Nash Rambler" -- The Playmates "Little Cobra" -- Rip-Chords "409" -- The Beach Boys "Hot Rod Lincoln" -- Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen "Mecedes Benz" -- Janis Joplin "YMCA" -- The Village People "Killer Queen" -- Queen ("She keeps Moet & Chandon in her pretty cabinet.")

Terrence Marks Remember-Jesus is your friend. normal@grove.ufl.edu ======== Fwd by: Russ Reynolds ======== I *am* production actually. At least at this station. In a nutshell, "Production" is what you do with the sound after you've committed it to tape. You lay down your basic track, and any "souping up" you do after that (over dubs, fade outs, echo, mixing, whatever) is production. So in the literal sense there is all kinds of "production" on Eye--it's just not as obvious as the production on PI. To say you don't like production really doesn't make any sense because you really can't have an album without production of some kind. Nor would I have a job.
