Also on the server: Morphine, Beck, Eels, Soul Coughing, Aphex Twins, Michael Penn, Guided by Voices....damn good site.... ...and if your a good kid look in the streaming video section and watch Robyn....

As much as I struggle to say it out loud,...,..,,.,..,,,.. Happy Birthday Eb, and I hope you see many, many more. Now, on the big gathering, how about Muskogee, Ok., or Tahlequah, Ok., both are in very beautiful areas of eastern Oklahoma, with Tenkiller, Greenleaf and Beavers Bend State Parks close by.

Last week I picked up "The Men Who Loved Music" by the Young Fresh Fellows (the band that includes sometime Peter Buck collaborator Scott McCaughey). The CD also includes the "refreshments" EP. The disc itself is black with an image of Fonzie (from "Happy Days") on it. No where in the liner notes, tracklistings, or songs is there any mention oth The Fonz. Finally, after a long pause on track 21, the unlisted track began to play. "Do the Fonzie..." spewed from my speakers. It sounds like a drunken ad-lib where not all of the band is on the same page. It is really funny though.... griffith ______________________________________________________________ Griffith Davies hbrtv219NOSPAM@csun1.csun.edu To reply, remove NOSPAM from return address. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 11:26:17 -0400 (EDT) From: lj lindhurst Subject: but what ever happened to... ...the T-SHIRT idea?!?!?! Did we all just drop it because no one could agree? Or is it some kind of secret Inner Circle Thing? Will I have to kill the Quail again in order to get one? mmm, these tacos sure could use some sauce (mild), lj n.p.: I live next door to a restaurant with an outdoor garden, and they incessantly play the following 3 CDs: 1. Billy Joel Greatest Hits Volume 1 2. The Police Greatest Hits 3. Mazzy Starr's first album (go figure!) I'm thinking about taping Dan Bern for them, just so I can get a little relief from that friggin' "Uptown Girl"!! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 02 Oct 1997 11:32:04 -0400 From: Stephen Buckalew Subject: Iron chickens and other repressed memories.... Thanks to everyone for the Clanger responses....it's all coming back to me...blue string pudding, dustbin lids, whistlespeak...the whole nine yards. Now that I'm in touch with my inner child again...I can give up my plans for world domination and stop seeing the therapist! James...I will definitely check out the Chills. My band used to cover "You're Gonna Miss Me" by 13 Floor Elevators, but I could never shriek like a banshee, so we didn't do it proper justice. Another band that had intense shredding vocal pipes was the Sonics...a 60s west-coast surf-punk band. Check 'em out if you can. (My copy is on vinyl, I don't know if it's still available on CD.) Was "Vegetable Man" ever released by Barrett? I've only ever heard the Soft Boys version. I have Madcap Laughs, Barrett, and Opal, and it's not on any of those. That line "there's kind of a stink about blue velvet trousers" is a great comment on fickle fashion that cracks me up every time. <~~~Buckeye~~~> ***************************************************************************** "...everythings all on...it's rosy...it's a beautiful day!"--Syd Barrett ***************************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 12:56:58 -0400 (EDT) From: dy288@freenet.carleton.ca (Gregory Watson) Subject: Re: Iron chickens and other repressed memories.... Hello Buckeye and fellow Fegsters, After the Pink Floyd released their second single "See Emily Play", they went into the studio to record their third single - "Scream Thy Last Scream" b/w "Vegetable Man". According to various sources, the single was too "weird" to be released, so they went back, recorded, and released their "official" third single "Apples and Oranges" b/w "Paintbox". "Scream Thy Last Scream" and "Vegetable Man" were shelved, and have only appeared on a few bootleg releases. I have these two songs on a bootleg CD called "Pink Floyd: The Early Singles". > >Was "Vegetable Man" ever released by Barrett? I've only ever heard the Soft >Boys version.

Fabulous! Now I don't feel *quite* so old! Does anyone other than me remember The Shaddocks and The Geebees (sp?)? Now *there* was a show.... Bayard "Ben Kenobi" Catron: Glad you made it home again. Maybe we'll get to meet on your next trip (or mine). Ob Robyn: IMHO Robyn and saxophone are a marriage made in Hell (or Heck, if you're a Dilbert fan). Sorry Susan, those horrible bleatings just ruin GD for me - and in fact that godawful instrument even puts a significant dent in Moss Elixir, for that matter. Thank heavens for Mossy L! Deni's contributions are soooo good - why do anything else? After GD, didn't he say "never again" (about saxophones, that is). James said: > >A full-blown feg gathering planned ... equidistant from everyone. > > I'm in favour! Honolulu it is, then! I'll be there!

If so, did he play the piano part on them, or did Andy? > > Some of the songs I'm wondering about: > > Nocturne > Cathedral > Flavour Of The Night > Executioner > College Of Ice I don't think he's ever played any instrumentals on piano. At Trax in Charlottesville VA (?) in 1990 he did a bunch of songs on piano, including the man who invented himself and Flavor of night. (how long you got left? about 45 seconds.) I think this has been mentioned, but I wanted to add that he closed that show with The Lizard on piano, which i really like. It could well be on the next "unhatched crablings". I believe a piano version of "Birdshead" is on _uncarved pumpkins_. Too bad Andy Metcalfe (note the e on the end. I got in trouble for leaving that off) never graced any Egyptians shows with his accordion playing! =b ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 13:53:55 -0400 (EDT) From: Bayard Subject: Re: It Sounds Great When You're Mario On Mon, 22 Sep 1997, Abra Cadaver wrote: > > Listen to the piano part on "Sounds Great When You're Dead" and > compare it with the music that plays during the dungeon scenes in the > video game "Super Mario Brothers" for Nintendo. > > I think one of the programmers must have been a Robyn fan. could someone digitize a bit of this?

I've just figured why Steve Harley might be compared to Robyn - compare 'Come Up And See Me' with 'Song No. 4' (bonus track on UM). Not amazingly similar, but the way the last notes of phrases are slurred (especially at the end of Song No. 4) is almost identical.
