Wilson's solo album has spectacular melodies, but the stale '80s synthesizers were probably a significant factor why the album sold poorly. That, and lyrics like "Night time is the right time for love" and "My love's a burning fire/It fills me with desire"....

It was proposed in alt.config and pretty much all the regulars opposed it because (1) it was badly named (it should have been alt.music.r-hitchcock) and (2) there wasn't all that much Hitchcock discussion in existing groups.

Date: Wed, 30 Apr 97 16:05:53 -0000 From: The Great Quail My name is Professor Fane, and I have not written to this list yet. But after reading this comment from Mr. Dance, I felt compelled to respond: >> Anyway....anyone else think The Great Quail should be designated the >> official spokesbird of our great cult? He seems to have all the >> qualifications:charismatic, all-knowing, hypnotic, great taste in >> hoods, and several unmixed packages of purple Kool Aid. No! No! No! The Great Quail should not be designated *anything* of this precious cult. I happen to know that Susan is right - the quails are not what they seem. For instance: how many of you recall the Gong Fanweb? Anyone? No! Of course not - and here's why. A few years back, one of the most thriving, happenin' places on the Net was the Gong Fanweb, which included a mailing list something like this one. But then strange posts started appearing, all signed by "The Wondrous Partridge." At first, everyone was unfazed. But then? Well, as you all know, Gong fans are gullible, usually on account of the large consumption of THC and an overly enthusiastic appreciation of Ozric Tentacles bootleg tapes, and within a few months, the Wondrous Partridge had them all convinced they were in some sort of Cult, and they appointed him leader. Within three days, the Fanweb mysteriously shut down, vanished into the ether . . . and there was no traces of any members at all. When the EFF went to investigate, tracking down each member's actual location, the only thing in common they found was some private email, often left still binking on the screen: GIFs of a crop circle in Kansas, an invitation to a spurious Gong concert. Rushing to Kansas to investigate, the authorities were astonished. In a well-trampled field, they found some three hundred and five suits of clothing (Oh! a terrible sight - the tie-dye! the bell-bottoms!) laying around in a pile, sans owner. Cups of coffee were left half-finished, ala Marie Celeste, and a myriad of small bowls, bongs, and half-smoked jays were scattered about the crushed wheat like fallen oobleck from a Deadhead's Dr. Suess primer. Ghastly . . .and not a single living hippy soul in site. It was like a ghost-in. and the only message was this, carved into a large, overturned tractor: "All hail the Grate [sic] and Wondrous Partridge, we are coming home to Planet Gong, Ia, Ia Quailthulhu, long live the Pothead Pixies!!" That something terrible happened was beyond question - I mean, what Gonghead would leave a *half smoked* joint behind? Inconceivable. . . . And I'm sure you all heard about the utter collapse of "Desolation Row 61," the List devoted to the study of Bob Dylan's lyrics? How three months after an increasing spiral of postings from "The Magnificent Bobwhite" *every single* member of that great List signed off, sold all their property, and used the money to start the Barry Manilow Jingle Analysis Center of Grover Mills, NJ? And that the last thing anyone has heard from them since, is that fateful day last year when they all spammmed the alt.music.joan.baez newsgroup with the mysterious message, "Pweet, pweet, cheep, peck?" Did you know that the original name of the "Good-time Virus" was the "Quail-time" virus? That Syd Barret got his acid exclusively from a dealer known as Dr. Lophortyx Californicus? (*you* look it up, brothers and sisters, though in your hearts you know what you will find!) You see, I beleive that the quail is really the cover-name for a mastermind who behaves like the dread cuckoo, a bird which lays her eggs in another birds nests, so when they hatch, in a grim orgy of beak-tossing, they murderously fling the true birdies out of the nest and take over the scene. . . . And Susan says, >Well, I am tempted to go with this also because of his and my shared >belief that Sun Ra really does come from Saturn. Can't you see his manipulation? He'd tell you anything. I bet that even, right now, he is studying old Kinks albums just to start dropping allusions, furthering your trust in him. . . >The fact that he knows so much about Bob, though (and I don't mean Dylan >:)), is very suspicious. The Quails are not what they seem. A clever warning on his part, this Bob thing . . . Bob, Bobwhite, Bob the spiritual vampiric entity from Twin Peaks. . . . so why *do* you think Twin Peaks was cancelled? Has anyone heard from Sherilyn Fenn in a while? Who killed Jack Nance? Could it be any clearer? So DO NOT APPOINT HIM LEADER! Do not drink his kool-ade, read his postings, visit his websites, or - God forbid - eat of his birdseed! Kill him! Kill all quailkind! Stamp on their little birdy bodies! Pluck of those ridiculous head-feathers! Patronize restaurants that have "quail" on the menu!

"The Dunedin Sound" has been an important part of New Zealand's musical influence; your hosts hope to include interviews with some key players, much rare music and lively banter to keep things entertaining. ------- Despite It All: The Brinsley Schwarz - hosted by Kevin O'Dante and Zero Gravity, Wednesday Mayhem 14th, 7-11p Though hardly anyone (especially in the U.S.) knew it, at the time, Brinsley Schwarz was one of the most talented groups of the early '70s. Featuring the brilliant song writing of Nick Lowe, the British quintet pioneered the country influenced "pub rock" sound which, in a round about way, opened the door for the punk explosion of 1977. Zero Gravity and Kevin O'Dante present their story, "Despite It All". Listen and discover an undiscovered gem. ------------------------------ From: tews@vcommons.com (Eddie Tews) Date: Tue, 29 Apr 1997 18:15:34 -0700 Subject: Just found some more of those sticky things, so yes, we've got some left. ya, susan, i had a feeling it might be a bit of work, but i love movies, and i can't wait to see what the faves are. also, i didn't say i'd get the results in immediately. but i'll do it fast as i can. i was going to use the declining points system, but if there are objections, or, if the returns are not ranked, i'll do something else. don't you just hate when you forget to post the thing that was the main reason why you were going to post in the first place? in the BONES post, i wanted to add that on top of the obvious ones --The Professor, Moose Mark, Nasturtiums -- the story i most wish i'd written is Ser Visal's Tale, by stephen donaldson. it's in his excellent book of short stories, DAUGHTER OF REGALS. if this has already been discussed, then please forgive. but i just thought of something. on PRAWNS, right before they launch into I Wanna Destroy You, Robyn says, "...we've also got CONE WATCH. Just ring [gives a phone number, i can't remember what. has a couple 6's in it, i think] and you can make any comments you have on the cones lining britain's motorways. This will go straight to the prime minister. This is for whoever replaces john major." probably shouldn't have put that in quotes, because i don't think it's exactly right, but the point is, robyn's interest in cones goes back a ways. aside to terry: whenever i try to e-mail you, very bad things happen. so, i just wanted to say thanks a billion!! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Apr 1997 23:19:17 -0700 From: markg@nad.3com.com (Mark Gloster) Subject: new merchandising info.... Hi gang. I hope this message makes it through the filtromatix. The crack, and I do mean crack, faxology department of 3com (formerly known as Candlestick) Corporation took only 26 hours to locate the fax which Robyn's new press person, Steve (and I was unable to assess the state of his cleanliness over the phone, which sometimes you can do if they're calling you in California from Colorado or Utah) sent me on Monday. The good news is that it is here, with little additional information. As I interpret my fax, the new merchandising agents are: Antwoman c/o For The World Now PO Box 14864 London W42GD I need to still clarify some other issues on GF matters, but hopefully things are back to normal. Woj, I think the issue of samples slipped Steve's mind when he sent his fax. Steve did mention new SF Area gigs: June 1 (ish) tenative Santa Cruz, also that week, Great American Music Hall SF, and a coffee house in the Marin area. I can't remember which dates the latter two gigs were, but they seemed firmer. I will continue to let you know about developments as they happen.
