In Minneapolis, I was thinking about that, and although I too sometimes get a little tired of his "spontaneous" stories, I was sitting there thinking of him as a comedian on stage. (It even seemed that Tim was his mostly-silent "straight man" to play off of) So what do you think of comedians? They certainly rehearse their material and we don't fault them for it! If Robyn crafts his little stories, so what? They are *still* funny (mostly) and as someone else said, it's not like we all follow him around for every show so that we actually do have to hear the same ones repeated all the time. So heck, enjoy 'em! (or go see someone else perform) About Mossy Liquor... Well, I'm slow to enter here. I finally bought the damn thing after months of refusing to bow to this marketing ploy. I'm trying to get rid of my turntable, dammit! But, at Let It Be records in Minneapolis I hadn't brought anything for him to sign, unprepared as I was having flown in from Louisiana! So I finally bought it... and LOVE it! Jeeze, I wish the release had been the other way around! Yeah, I know, this has be discussed way too much. About that Swedish "Alright Yeah"... At Let It Be Robyn said Tim did the translation... thought that "spontaneous" story was cute. Are there any Swedes in Fegmaniax? How's the translation? (Sorry if this one has made the rounds too). --< Lee Gray >-- leeg@prysm.net ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 May 1997 10:38:56 -0500 From: Hal Brandt Subject: Need WMSE interview I'm looking for any recent Robyn radio interviews, especially WMSE, Milwaukee.

I've liked it for the music. i think polly jean harvey is very sexy. she is cleopatra and i am her love slave. her voice has a sultry resonance that i can feel somewhere in the back of my neck. yowsa! courtney is very cool. if you haven't witnessed her performance in _people vs. larry flint_ then you have no idea. i've listened to _pretty on the inside_ and really can't stand it, aside from a couple of tracks. it wasn't until saint kurt influenced her that she blossemed as a songwriter. that's right. songwriter. _live through this_ is an amazing album. and if you've seen her in any magazines lately, you'd see just how bodacious she can look once she's all cleaned up. very nice-a. i think liz phair is a sweet little coquette. her music is a motherfucker too. if you haven't heard _exile in guyville_ then you are missing out. one of the greatest albums of all time! shirley manson is very cute too. i haven't heard any of the angelfish stuff (is it any good?) but i think the garbage stuff is nifty. very clever nods to many alterna-groups to the point that each song seems to refer to a different band. maria mckee is another cutie-pie with the voice of an angel. so far her biggest success is behind her, but she continues to put out amazing stuff. soulful and thoughtful. "if love is a red dress, then hang me in rags." i've always thought muses kristen and tonya were a force to be reckoned with. each of them talented and most charming. kristen's music exorcises demons and tonya's soothes the soul. their music has changed my life. no lie. ann magnuson has a smoldering sensuality that can keep you up at night. she's an actor, writer, dancer, singer, and thinker. her stuff with bongwater may be a bit too theatrical for even polly fans; but she's got the stuff. ani di franco is adorable. with her multi-colored multi-styled braids and her sweet on stage presence, how could anyone resist her? corin tucker from sleater-kinney radiates gyrlysh sensuality. tough warlbly pipes and a labidinous groove. hoo-ah!

Well, but there's a difference: In the case of a comedian, a story leads up to a concrete payoff/punchline/conclusion. In Robyn's case, there isn't much point, really -- it's just to watch his mind free-associate and HOPEFULLY end up somewhere interesting. I suppose it's just a more esoteric form of that classic sitcom "babbling" joke (see Chrissy Snow on 3's Company, Gracie Allen, Edith Bunker, Ellen Degeneres...), where the wacky character just rambles on for so long that it's nervously funny.

It was in this small culture center that looked just like my gradeschool gymnasium. I saw him there last year, as well. Apparently, it was Bob Dylan's birthday, so he payed respect and played two Dylan songs, Queen Jane Approximately and another I didn't know (I am such a loser). He spoke about how he would never have become a musician if it hadn't been for Bob. I wonder if he made it out to Hibbing (Bob's birthplace). He mentioned a dream he had about Nick Drake, who, he stressed, was very content and in no way depressed. That's nice to hear, for a change. He also mentioned (and kept mentioning) a dream he had about Eric Clapton, who was in the form of a fish (insert Robynesque detailed descritpion here), being wheeled around in a giant fishtank and, when Robyn asked him about the connection between rock music and t-shirts, he gave him the idea for these cones that he is selling now. The story was hysterically funny - he had to interpret the word "cones" out of a trail of bubbles coming from Clapton's mouth. You can imagine. His last encore was I Often Dream of Trains, which he dedicated to his mother and to Jim Walsh, a local Mpls rock critic (and a very good one). He did the same thing last year, only eh inserted Jim's name into the song: "I often dream of trains when I'm with you, Jim, I wonder if you dream about them too, Jim ..." Very funny. Oh yeah, and his last words were "See you next year!" :) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 May 1997 13:33:25 PST Subject: CRD: Beautiful Girl From: kingink@juno.com (David A.

Perhaps you could tell your mom that you sent the wheel to Robyn to be autographed, but unfortunately having been signed by the man himself it achieved such astronomical value (on account of it's being the only 1993 Buick LeSabre front wheel signed by Robyn in existance), that it was immediately stolen by Mick Jagger as a birthday present for Keith.

Now I really do have a bone to pick with you on this one. I don't mean this as an attack on anyone, rather a defense of myself :). Who said it didn't come first for me either? Since when were lust and respect completely incompatible with each other? I really have to say I dont understand this attitude! While I understand that you feel annoyed at being lumped in with us infatuated ones merely because you are also female :), it does make me feel a bit defensive when people suggest that the music has nothing to do with my appreciation. In fact, it has -everything- to do with it. Generally when I deeply lust after someone, the physical factor usually plays less of a role than everything else- my lust usually is a result of respect, admiration, and/or a feeling of emotional kinship.

Yeah, the young John Lennon was a pretty attractive fellow. I also always thought Montgomery Clift was pretty sexy. And the young Peter Cook. See? There are -lots- of quite attractive dead guys. Or, ahem, let me rephrase that. There are lots and lots of dead guys who were attractive when alive. I don't see anything odd about being attracted to them. > Not me.. i've got a man, after all.. ;) Doesn't mean you can't look :).

It always surprised me how many *male* followers our dear > Mr. Hitchcock has... Well, of those who are active to any degree on the list, it's mainly you and I, LS. There are several lurkers who post occasionally (Renee Lynn, Becky, Julie (misplaced Joan of Arc :)), Tracy Copeland, Zelda Pinwheel (sorry, don't know your real name :)), Susan Even and Marcy Tanter are the ones I can think of offhand). Kay used to be quite a bit more active than she is now (we missed you! :)). And of course the late, lamented Paula Carino :) and our new lister Sydney. Anyone else I missed who wants to come forward? Frankly, it suprises me too that the list is so heavily male. But I guess it shouldn't really, given that the overall net population still contains more XYs than XXs.

It's not so much finding a dead person attractive, but "not being able to stop talking about it." I mean, JEEEEEZ! Seems like there must be more vital issues to discuss on the Pet Sounds list.

Ther current BB tour isn't much to discuss, as t's the same songs every night. All the good stuff happened in the 60's and 70's.

This is true. When a bunch of us fans were talking to Robyn after the Cat's Cradle show in March, we got onto a really weird tangent about eating on stage. Some of the objects suggested as suitable for eating were a bicycle and a wheelchair. Of course, maybe we fans were just as 'eccentric' because we were discussing this subject with complete seriousness.;) > dB's records (yet), so I gave my friend a beat-up record of baby songs I > had bought for a quarter. I think the album was called "Baby's First > Album." Anyway, my friend took over the album, and the band refused to >sign it! Bastards. ;P > > Eb How dare you take the dBs' name into your filthy mouth, infidel scum?!?! Woo, excuse me. I realize the ";P" means that the preceding remark was made tongue-in-cheek, but my knee-jerk, dBs-defense reactions are hard to control. Little do you know that these men are considered gods in the NC pop music scene. The dBs are the band that made me realize that Americans *can* write and record wonderful pop alternative music, even more so than R.E.M. Now bow down and pay homage!
