I got the original tape, and then I pestered a friend who'd bought the CD (who *I* converted, by the way, thank you very much) to tape off the bonus tracks. Now I have them on side B of - get this - What's the Story, Morning glory. I tell you, it's really a chore listening to those first few tracks on side A so I can flip the tape over a listen to Black Crow Knows *again*. All four songs are brilliant, and in my opinion better than some of the more forgettable songs on EoL proper. Does anyone else find Lady Waters a drag to sit through?

Yep - Odious Fritter, another friend, and I picked up a matched set on the _Eye_ tour, as I recall. They were red on black and said "Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians" on the back; I suppose they were left over from an earlier tour. It was only when I bought it that I found out that it was meant to be Thoth. I always thought it was a kiwi bird sitting on a mesa.

YMMV, of course.

I always washed mine inside out in cold water, and it lasted for years. My "One Long Pair Of Eyes" shirt with all the thin linework did pretty well until the Night of the Towel Shaman.

Yes, I like the bonus tracks too. I still maintain however that Eol works best as an album standing alone from these "extras" - no matter how good they may be in their own right. In general, the artist's selection is not without some thought as to the whole effect -- and that includes choosing what to leave out. Just my opinion, as always. Then James D. (glad to see you back--hope you are in the rudest of rude health) added to the pithy quote debate... > "I'm only you" > "He'll leave you gurgling behind the hedge!" > "Let there be more darkness" > "Please don't call me Reg" > "I'm lurking in the shadows 'cause it hasn't happened yet" > or even "Where angels hover, I'll hover too" "I'm only you" is a nice quote, and "Please don't call me Reg" was my choice for my DIY shirt... BUT what I really want to see is something which somehow links this group, Robyn and the net, however tangentially. The "fiends" line fills the bill, of course and I think that if it is presented as a quote (attributed to Mr. H) and clearly refers to Fegmaniax, the chances of confusion with a certain East coast musical duo will be much diminished. The "I know where to look.." line still beats it by a whisker in my book, though. One more thing; NOT the whole Fegmania essay PLEASE! Let's not tie this whole thing to one album--and an old one at that. There's more to Robyn's work than this and although that *is* where the list name came from, there's more to us, too.

I just pretend I'm Andy the whole time. hoo-ah! that bass gets me throught the whole album. amazing! although, there aren't any forgettable bits on it for me. i thought it was so great that i made several of my friends borrow it feeling sure they would feel the same. one buddy of mine couldn't even make it past 'if you were a priest'. i was so disappointed that he couldn't even forward it on to the next song. i guess the mix tape is the best route for some folks. >i recall that the motif is common plague folklore it reminds me of 'masque of the red death' or 'picture of dorian grey'. i suppose some folklore might arise if someone diseased managed to get better after infecting someone else. or if they made a deal with some sinister stranger. there is a bit of symbolism with the aristocrat sort of buying their way out and cheating death. is the hooded one death? what is the dance? could the plague be AIDS? i just watched _the prophecy_ last night and i can't seem to get the idea of the angels who do the dirty work getting upset when god overlooks them. gabriel finds some pathetic soul on their deathbed and keeps them alive to do his dirtywork.

I paid $8.50 for mine, but since it's the only one I've ever seen I suppose I would have been willing to pay twenty.

It's fun - it's pretty uneven, but it's fun, and "The Duke Of Squeeze" deserves to be covered on GF2. The sound quality is pretty bad - not down there with JSF/GQ, but definitely not professional - and the performances are all over the place. My former housemate asked me never to play it (or _Can of Bees_ for that matter) when he was around. In fairness, though, there are two songs that mention toast on it. > The same source had the bootleg (?) version of Wading Through A Ventilator. > Around the same price. Again, sound investment? > If you're looking at it as an investment ... I don't know; you might check some record price guides. If you're just hoping for new material, pass it by - everything on _Ventilator_ is also on the Soft Boys boxed set. Whic ties in neatly with what I was about to post. I've put together an outline for a Hitchcock reviews website. It's meant as a consumer guide for people who (1) have a limited amount of money and (2) are buying albums to listen to, not to squirrel away. Back before the Rykodisc and Rhino re-issues I'd almost always snap up any Hitchcock vinyl I saw, especially if it listed titles I didn't have, sound unheard; and of course if you buy mail-order you may only get the title of the album. I snagged _The Kershaw Sessions_ mostly because of the two covers, but ended up listening to the remakes more than anything else ... Anyway, I'm rambling. The site I've set up is meant to let you click on the title of something you're thinking about buying and get a list of reviews by various fans, so that you can get some idea of whether the listed price is worth it to *you* rather than just whether it's in keeping with what _Goldmine_ considers fair. I won't be reviewing what I consider the regular-release albums even if there are several slightly different versions in circulation; if you're a big enough fan to consider buying _Invisible History_ then you presumably already have some version of _Element of Light_, _Underwater Moonlight_, et al. I'm including (1) bootlegs (though this doesn't imply endorsement of bootlegging), (2) singles and EPs (since they're often hard to find), (3) promo-only items, and (4) vinyl-only items (like _Live at the Portland Arms_ and _Mossy Liquor_). I'm *not* including (1) concert tapes, (2) fan compilations (though I'm linking to the _Glass Flesh_ site in the intro), or (3) other folks' recordings that Hitchcock turned up on. I did blur the line by throwing in _Queen Elvis_, since it's rare in the UK, and the Rhino re-releases, since lots of fans had already bought the albums a few times and (as of a few years ago at least) were wondering whether to shell out a couple of days' pay to own them all again. Whew. So if you'd like to review something, feel free to mail it to me personally. I'd rather people leave the reviews in plain text and let me do the mark-up, since I've already created and formatted the templates for the pages. One small exception: I'd like every reviewer to do a brief "About Me"-type page describing what kind of music he or she or it likes, so that readers will be able to figure out which reviews they're more likely to agree with. If you already know of a great fan site for your favorite band, or have your own home page, you can either put in the anchor tags yourself or just add the URLs at the bottom of the review so that I can link them up. If you have any questions don't hesitate to write. P.S. I know I didn't post the URL! I've only got the framework up - I'll be uploading my own reviews over the next couple of days, since I actually have a day off, and I'd like to wait to publicize it until I've got some folks other than me up there.

Isn't it the perfect thing for Tracy? > But due to the asynchronous nature of electronic communication you're unaware that I already have one, and it was a gift from Aidan Merritt of Positive Vibrations fame, no less. And since name-dropping Aidan doesn't bring this message up to the recommended daily allowance of Hitchcock content, I'm fortifying it with the following: "But even in conversation, Hitchcock can't help revealing his gift: a mind's eye barraged with images. When I ask him about his origin, he thinks for a second or two, half-smiles and delivers the following: 'A great oak tree fell into a river and split open, and a roll of transparent cling film came out, in a long oval shape. Inside that there was a woman made of glass, and inside that woman made of glass there was a whole little network of tiny wires. Gradually, the cling film melted away and the woman made of glass swam out of the river. She began to fly and she developed beautiful topaz wings which lifted her high above the orange wood, and she flew all the way to the long white tower and then she hovered just above the long white tower. She was wearing dancing shoes and as she had learned to fly, she had learned to dance, and she rotated round and round. She had very elegant legs and she was an elegant dancer, and the foot of her ballet pump came down onto the top of the white tower and suddenly she froze, she became a statue and she was glass no more, she was alabaster. The tower underneath kind of glowed gratefully, as you would expect, and the woman with a beautiful expression on her face turned to stone, and then the wires inside her fell right the way down to the bottom of the tower. It's not interesting to say what was in the tower, but at the bottom of the tower was a very very English sort of man with a couple of bow ties on and a walking stick and a dog named Colonel. He just held his hand out, down came a long copper coil, and he reached out his hand and he squeezed it and a look of quite pleasure came over his muted English features and his toes began to vibrate. Colonel the dog rushed outside and barked, something was in the air, and sure enough, floating down the river from the opposite direction came an iron submarine which for some reason floated. It was full of Chinese boys who were all growling and gnashing and rubbing their saliva on the back of each other's palms. Suddenly their overlord, who was called the Pumpkin, came through. He was three times their size and he just wore a pumpkin head like on Halloween, with a grin. He lashed the Chinese boys and spat on them all and then he pointed his whip to the sky and the Chinese boys all looked up. They saw this bird that looked terribly nervous and suddenly exploded into a storm cloud, and the storm cloud drifted toward the white tower where the woman in the statue was, and it got bigger and bigger. And this guy the Pumpkin was egging his Chinese boys on down the reiver - "Owee, ooh," like that - and they were getting closer and closer to the tower, and the Englishman downstairs did absolutely nothing, just stood there holding the coil, and then the storm cloud got bigger and bigger. It was a raging storm by now. Little filaments of lightning were zooming out, and eventually the dog ran back inside and a few drops of rain fell and the Englishmean held out his hand, went "Hmmm," had a glass of sherry and went back indoors and shut the door discreetly. The tower was now surrounded by yammering Chinese boys, and the Pumpkin was standing there overlording them, trying to get his whip round the tower, but it was quite greasy - no, it wasn't greasy, it was whip-resistant - so anyway, predictably a bolt of lightning struck that statue at the top and went all the way down to the man at the bottom. And the tower disappeared and the Chinese people disappeared and everyone disappeared and there was just me, sitting in a pool of placenta on a table in Paddington. And that's the true story, and you're the first person to hear it.'" This story was my first exposure to Hitchcock - I happened on it flipping through a friend's copy of _Musician_ and looking for the John Lennon article while trying to miss the James Taylor interview without bothering to check the table of contents. I've never read a table of contents since. N.b. I'm typing this from a Xerox and some of the words are blurred. If you don't like it you can go to, uh, your local library and see if they have the back issue. It's issue 121, I think, the one with John Lennon on the cover. -- How is it that you fail to perceive that I did not speak about bread? - Matthew 16:11 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jun 1997 17:54:13 -0700 (PDT) From: Cardboard Cream Subject: Re: only mirrors for company > here's a few more t-shirt slogan possibilities: i am a bit surprised that everyone is trying to go through old slogans for robyn to put on a shirt. if it is possible for robyn to actually pen us a graphic, then i would think that we should give him little suggestion of what we want, but what it is about. of course, if he says no, then all this banter of slogans is perfectly normal. it just seems to me the originality of the work would be the most important if the man is involved... has anyone got a lead on tracking him down--sleeping in peters drive way (or does he have the insanely rich seattle million/billionaire mansion with automatic attack units??)? back to my whole, .chris ------------------------------ From: Cynthia Peterson Subject: RE: only mirrors for company Date: Wed, 18 Jun 1997 18:21:45 -0700 >>has anyone got a lead on >>tracking him down--sleeping in peters drive way (or does he have the >>insanely rich seattle million/billionaire mansion with automatic attack units??)?
