I have my reasons. Spare me the condescending > sarcasm. No need to get defensive. I would never dream of using condescending sarcasm -- just as I'm sure our Eb would never even think of making provocative comments just to get a reaction. ;) My very last words on this: * Good tight playing does not preclude creativity or spontaneity. In fact it often creates a structure and confidence in which creativity can flourish. Conversely, loose unrehearsed playing does not guarantee spontaneity. Personally, I'll take the former any day of the week. * The "sound" of a fretless bass is determined primarily by the player. Sure, it is possible to get certain tones and effects from a fretless which are difficult on the fretted variety - but you can easily get a "fretted" tone as well (and usually do, if you're playing rock music. - even slap'n pop works just fine.). If you think a certain player uses fretless "effects" (like those swoops and slides) when they are not appropriate in the context of the song, you should criticize the player - - not his instrument. OK I'm done. Not another word from me on this topic. The floor is yours. ~N ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 10:21:14 -0500 (EST) From: Brodyjean@aol.com Subject: Re: feg mondegreens How about: "Napoleon wore a black cat" (Cynthia Mask) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 09:05:19 -0800 From: Cynthia Peterson Subject: RE: dan bern 11/21 (0% RH) Yikes! You *are* in Seattle, after all! I was thinking you meant you'd were thinking about attending the Portland show, which is Friday, 11/21. However, to the best of my knowledge, the Dan Bern show in Seattle is actually tomorrow, Thursday, November 20th. (Did I advertise that wrong, earlier?) I've seen it listed as starting at both 8:30 and 9:00. (9:00 is the safer bet.) On the bill with Dan are "Jared and Tige from Trillium Green" or something like that. I don't know if they are starters or Dan's band. Opening is Veda Hille, whom we've heard highly recommended from woj. Sorry to post yet another non-RH message...but Dan Bern is great and if anyone else was thinking of going to see the show in Ballard, I didn't want them to think it was Friday!

Apparently my new ISP uses the other kind of server, with the other kind of image map setup (I sure sound techie here...sorry). Anyway, I should get 'em fixed up this weekend. Check by sometime later, cause we've had several more fegs show up. Any Florida fegs out there want to try and meet up for the movie come March? I'm praying it at least plays at the Enzian in Orlando. Congratulate me on finally scoring a CD copy of "Live Death" (I think!) This is sure a hard thing to come by. The few places out on the web that lists it never actually have it when you spend the money to call them long distance. Very frustrating. I found a copy of "Beautiful Queen" out there as well, but missed it by a few days. Bah! (Anyone got one they want to sell?) More cones needed. C'mon guys...a slew of you have given me "I'll do it soon's" and "Almost ready's", but the museum's hit a dull and dead slump. If you've ever considered submitting your cone...just do it.

Morrison ]looked perfectly OK, played well, I couldn't believe it when he dropped ]dead so soon afterwards. One of the reviews said that he played "like a ]Renaissance tugboat captain", whatever that means. Sterling Morrison had an interesting time of it after VU ended; he came down to Austin, got a degree in Medieval lit (at least an M.A.) at the University of Texas, was a prof there for a while and gigged in some local bands; after doing that for a few years, he migrated over here to Houston in the 80s and became a tugboat captain, I swear to God. My pal Chuck's erstwhile boyfriend Dean knew him and hung out with him from time to time; Sterling even fixed Dean's broken toilet once. Dean said Sterling was a beautiful, humble guy who was genuinely surprised that people knew who he was or even remembered him from VU...his cancer was indeed rather sudden; I heard about it only a few months before he died... marshall ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 12:48:58 -0700 From: "Napoleon In Rags" Subject: Reaper Madness Tom Clark hat geschrieben: > On 11/18/97 8:10 PM, David W.

KEN ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 13:36:02 PST From: "Capitalism Blows" Subject: another dastardly pry i've been thinking about You And Oblivion lately. you know how when he introduces it, he tells that story about how everybody is always right. and in arguments, people don't listen to the other side, they just wait for the other person to quit talking and then say what they were going to say anyway. then he says that this song is about a friend who went wrong while he stayed right. pretty funny little story, really. but then it's such a scary, intense, emotional song. anybody have any idea who it is he's talking about, and just what the situation was. posts like this are why i love this list so much!! i'm going to print this out and tack it to my wall. thanks for the report, marshal! bayardisms: apart from the ones i've admitted to in the past, none spring to mind immediately. however, since i'm listening to the violent femmes right now, let me tell you about this one: in Out The Window, i'd always thought it was, "he broke down and philosophized every day, for humanity." then one time i was just flipping through the cd book, and noticed that it's actually, "he'd profoundly philosophize empathy for humanity." as a side note, does anybody else find it damn near impossible to listen to BLIND LEADING THE NAKED without immediately listening to it again? it's just so awesome and yet so short. much like RESPECT. factoid for the day: "In 1980, there were 24,363 federal prisoners; 33 percent (8,085) were minorities.

I agree with Chris that it was a truly great show. I have seen Robyn (with and without the Egyptians and various side musicians) at least a dozen times prior to the shows this past weekend. I would have to say that this was the most memorable show that I have experienced. The Friday night show was fun, and it was great to see Andy again. However, Saturday's show was definitely the loosest that I have ever seen Robyn - he really seemed to be having a lot of fun up there. It was especially nice to see and hear Robyn's interaction with his "guests" that night, most notably Grant Lee Phillips from Grant Lee Buffalo. If any of you out there are not familiar with GLB, I would very highly recommend their first album, "Fuzzy." It is brilliant. The two GLB songs performed during the second set on Saturday, "The Hook" and "Fuzzy," are from this album. As for the new song, it is definitely "Nietzche's Way," as I was the lucky recipient of the setlist that night, which was apparently written by Robyn's manager, Steve (who for some reason makes all of his E's and N's backwards). This list only covered the first set, however. They seemed to have made up most of the second set as they went along, which obviously added to the overall spontaneity of the evening. I will try to post the complete setlist soon... Julie (who still can't believe she saw Robyn play the drums!) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Nov 1997 23:05:24 -0800 From: "kototh" Subject: Help...Largo Gig's Help!!
