I thought America (not the song, the band) did the original. I've heard a version where the muskrats do some rather noisy lovemaking in the background. If interested (you're sick), contact me off list. I think I know where to find it. Possible new thread -- have we done anything on musicians who paint/draw, etc? I was thinking of Robyn, of course, but also Jerry Garcia, Dave Matthews, David Byrne, et al. What's the connection? Has Robyn ever been asked if there's a commonality between the two processes?

What Robyn Ought To Do: 1) Join up with Sinead O'Connor and Flea. Call the band "Cannibal Phil". Start shouting. Do violent, garage-quality death metal with whimsical lyrics about fish and how you hate your parents. [note: Not how Robyn hates his parents. How *you* hate *your* parents] 2) Do an occasional all-covers show. I'd really love to see The Egyptians (with Roger) do an all Beach Boys show... 3) Declare himself to be John Lennon reborn. 4) March Upon Washington. [Note: not take a large group of followers with him. Just singlehandedly march to the capitol and demand that his agenda be set into action] 5) Get Ginger Rogers, Eric Clapton, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon together. Call it "Queam". See how many albums they can sell. 6) Try to get his own TV show. Couldn't be worse than what's on now.. 7) Make constant references to a possible change of sexual orientation, in hopes that People Magazine will start to consider him Important. 8) Play in the new movie. The Scarecrow Batman Captain Cold Flash Jimmy Olsen Superman Wolverine X-Men Mysterio Spider-man Arthur The Tick The Referee Rocky Shilo Norman Mr. Miracle The Imperial Trader Star Wars Violent Thug #6 Quenten Tarantino Foul-mouthed youngster #3 (Oh...whoever that dude who made Clerks and Mallrats is.) Franklin D. Roosevelt historical (Oh...or Elwood P. Dowd in a remake of Harvey. And Robyn would be *great* as Calender Man or Killer Moth, but those villains aren't cool enough to be in movies.) 9) Get a lot of tattoos, bulk up, make sure that every photograph taken features him reading, so as to show that, despite his illiterate-punk look, he's really an intellectual. 10) Start an independant newspaper. 11) Get an advice column, a la Dear Abbey. 12) Invent a better potato chip.

He could make up songs like he did when he was on Lovelines and I'll just bet he'd irritate and shock and dismay the old cow in a delightful way :).

I almost feel guilty about posting something off-topic, but when I saw the "bad movie" thread it reawoken painful memories that had only just before been buried deeply within my cortex. The only film I came close to walking out on was that damned film with the wife from War of the Roses in it, V.I. Warchawski (or something like that). I can't even remember why it was that my friend and I had ever gone to see it in the first place, but we realized very soon after it started that this was going to quite possibly be the worst cinematic experience. Ever. We didn't leave, though. I haven't been so offended by something to leave a theatre. My intelligence insulted and assaulted, yes, but never offended. I'm rather pigheaded about getting my $7.25 worth--or whatever it is these days. I don't think I've seen anything so utterly foul before or since (although the few seconds I caught of Barnyard Frenzy when I was in college did cause a few tremors of instability). Has anyone else made the same mistake I made? (And no, I'm not talking about my knee-jerk decision to leave the room when the girl started getting friendly with the sheepdog in Frenzy.) And the CDs? Alpha by artist (with jazz, classical, comps and soundtracks being after that). Then (usually) in order of release; that way they can fall into genres all by their lonesome. On the topic of Robyn? I got a copy of the Beautiful Queen Promo today (and to the beautiful people out there: you know who you are), and it's great (much better than the Rob, Bob & Albert sound quality), but I was a bit surprised at the amount of audience chatter in the background. Anybody know the etymology of this one? Was it an audience-tape-come-release a la "Live at Max's," or just a shitty mix/really rude in-a-loud-sorta-way? Anyways, I've been more vocal than I think I ever have before, hope you all don't mind. I'll admit that tonight was the first time in a long time I sat down and read every single post back to back on two digests. I've been really busy/distracted for the past couple of months, but won't go into it. I can only say that the list's great. I've been on others now and again, but I've found this one to be the most consistant. Everyone, without exception, has been great with everything ranging from my inane questions to tapes to trades. Let's hear it for the Fegs! All the Best! -ferris. -- ___________________________________________ Watch out all you Spacecats: Dolby = Satan ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Jul 1997 15:58:21 +0700 From: james.dignan@stonebow.otago.ac.nz (James Dignan) Subject: Re: Bad Music >Really Bad Music From Bands that Can Do Better: > >Student Demonstration Time (The Beach Boys) Ah! You obviously haven't heard the Beach Boys song about being proud of your school. Can't remember the title - the song was so awful I blocked it from my memory. Did people ever really behave like that??? It even made "Kokomo" sound reasonable (still havent worked out what the "lumps of rotten steak" line is all about though*). Thankfully, wonderful songs like "God Only Knows" more than redressed the balance. Can we also add Chuck Berry's "My Dingaling" to the list of awfulness? James (who is glad that so many people have heard of the movie "Harvey", which would be in his top 20, along with "The Wrong Box" - did that one get any votes?) PS - what can anyone tell me about Jeremy Enigk? I've heard he's got a vaguely Robynesque sound... PPS - * I've been told it's actually "Montserrat, Mustique", but I don't believe it ;) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Jun 1997 23:55:11 -0700 From: Otto Parts Subject: What Robyn should do... I said it before, and I'll say it again: I'd really get a kick out of seeing a nice, say 5 disc box set come out. The Velvet Underground, as much as I love 'em, and yes, they were a key to the development of American music, only put out, what, 4 legit albums before calling it quits? Robyn's got such a massive amount of material. B-sides? Non-released stuff? Loads of live recordings complete with his stories? (and yes, there could be an "extra" disc a la "Peel Slowly and See" of just his spoken word pieces...). Artwork? Paintings and comics. Short stories and oddities. Photos, etc. It's a seemingly bottomless well of stuff. The big thing holding it all back? Sadly enough, probably the fact that he's been on, what? Four labels in his solo career, not including Midnight Music and odds and ends single releases? It'll all come down to splitting the money too many ways, much like the supposed hold up on the regular release of the Dylan show. Oh, well. And that's three digests read in a day. I get a biscuit.

A bit overdone, but back then most songs had their share of flaws. And, yeah, football players (whcih the song is about) have school spirit...(I know, my roommate was one) > PS - what can anyone tell me about Jeremy Enigk? I've heard he's got a > vaguely Robynesque sound... A bit. He's got a really together sound...I'd describe him as alternative orchestral folk. Uses a string secion. Most lyrics fit well into the faerytale genre. Has some very good songs, but they all sound kind of similar. Best packaging since "Head", with a really lush, baroque sort of feel to it. I reccomend.

SCARECROW is a truly great album, and that's about all i'll say on the subject. i like a great deal of those 100-worst songs, which is probably a good thing. capuchin's travelogue: first, this was just about my favorite post i've ever read ever. the gig that he very casually mentioned was a secret gig on tuesday the 10th. he was there, i wasn't, and i'm really not too happy about it. he told me that there were only about 15 or 20 people there, so, it was really secret, not just "secret." he also said that robyn played mostly different songs from those which he'd been playing on the recently completed tour. can't you post a setlist, cap, or at least what you can remember? any of those 15 or 20 people reading this? any of ya tape it?? i had a somewhat similar experience to capuchin's id-checking. on tax day, a group of us war tax resisters went down to the big post office by the soon-to-be-demolished kingdome, where they had vans set up to take the returns of last-minute filers (and the vans of the media leeches were there too, of course.) you would just drive up, throw your envelope in a bucket some guy was holding, and drive off. so, apart from holding up signs, and waving to people and whatnot, we had flyers that we were passing out explaining why one shouldn't pay one's taxes. i was in charge of this department, and as a car would drive up and stop in line, i would hand the driver a flyer. cool. the hilarious thing was, people were trying to give me their damn checks! or asking me for directions and stuff. i was SO tempted to take the envelopes and...what? who knows, but something fun. what i did instead was tell them, "straight up ahead sir/madam, you'll need one of these," handing them the flyer. if they asked what fer, i'd say, "īt's the instructions." worked like a charm. david baker's fave flicks: Secrets and Lies, Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, Heathers, Trainspotting, Reservoir Dogs, The Hairdresser's Husband, The City of Lost Children, My Life As A Dog, The Player [note: i like Pulp Fiction quite a bit, too. and any list with My Life As A Dog on it is ok by me.] hal brandt's fave flicks: 2001, A Clockwork Orange, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Altered States, Blue Belvet, The Wizard of Oz, A Hard Day's Night, Frank Zappa's Baby Snakes, Raging Bull, Manhattan gregory stuart shell's fave flicks: 4.

(btw i don't think - the stones of the 80's and 90's is worse than the kinks in that time). H Wolf B.b. and albert King muddy watters and later Buddy guy r my heros and mmost appriciated ones so i don't think we argue about black blues, yet, i think the white ones and the creation of rock is not to be underestimated. combine all this i think, that even if u don't like thier music, u should understand how they became so famous, u could wonder how the kinks didn't and i agree. and last thing, Zappa wrote once:'some of my lyrics are dumb - so what' bowie said once: 'u can have a great song with shitty lyrics, u cant have a great song with shitty music'.(that was the spirit of it i don't remember the exact qoute) I agree that in the pop and rock sciene, lyrics become an important part of commpositions, yet, although i ovwe and appriciate Robyns and Zappas lyrics ( and more of course) i think i woulld like them just the saame for the music, livealone the lyrics. finally, i find myself writing to much and i think this is a good point to get it done.

I have a CD rack where everything is alphabetical by band name/artist's last name/dominant by act (Zappa gets Zappa+Mothers), separated when appropriate (hitch and hitch+e's are together, elfman is separate from boingo, boingo is actually under o, for Oingo Boingo). The boring way that I think that most people do this is the way I do. This system is maintained by someone capable of caring about these things. There are three differences: 1) My classical CD's are alphabatoozical by composer on a separate shelf. 2) I have an easy access section that is the thirty or so CD's which are at an easy grasp from the CD player at home. This includes traditionally about the highest percentage of RH material, unless these have gone out to my car or work. 3) My car and work have a haphazard system of hidden and constant shuffling disc locations that is boolean searchable by whatever's on top, or findable that day. This is a metaphor for the way I live my life, finding little joy in detail, focusing slightly on a Monet big picture until I slice my big toe off on the guitar case hinge that I left open the last time I was focusing on the big picture, when I should have been putting the darned thing away and closing all the hinges. -- The worst song of all time was "Turn on Your Heart Light" by Neil Diamond, and it has no significant competition. My feelings are so absolute on this one, I believe that I am venturing into the "not opinion: this is a fact" territory. I kind of agree with a great number of the other pix from that brilliant humorist of booger jokes, Dave Barry, but found some uncommon areas with the top 100 list posted. -- Markg's little related tyrade: I was once a big fan of Kansas and Yes, until I accidentally started listening to their lyrics. Many a heavy band has died in my ears after I put it through my "hey- if you put lyrics in a song they should at least mean something to the writer!" cruel filter. I hate to be a lyric nazi, but I have trouble making excuses for "Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there" and "The point of KnoW return". At least the songs were musical and well sung/played, so they stay off my really vile list that I reserve for the music theatre of the aggressively bad, where Bobby Goldsborough's taxidermied head is mounted above the mantle. --- Robyn, remember Robyn? This is a list about Robyn... hasn't written any songs that I hate. There are some that I do hit the next song button on or even major portions of CD's that I really have to be in the right mood to listen to. The last several songs of EOL kinda drag for me to. I have trouble getting through the darkness of that stuff most of the time. I can listen to ME, QE, GOF and Respect over and over and over again still. Maybe I'm more "pop culture" than I thought I was. --- Woj continues to be an icon of happy pineapple bits when all around is jello (It's made from hooves, you know). I would like to weigh in with those who prefer friendly discourse, courteous disagreement is okay, to critical whacking of others- even when there is some potential of challenging higher thought. I have felt only frustration at reading discourteous exchanges. I think it is important to add my recollection of bad feelings that arose from offering some of my own impressions on topics only to have a critic, who may never be willing to show his/her insides to us, throw ice water on them or just pick at minutia. I'm purposely being general here. This is the coolest list I know of. I'm really glad I've gotten to know a bunch of you. Thanks Woj.
