I've not heard any of Lou's output for some years and I must admit that I find a lot of his stuff unimpressive to say the least, but whenever I hear anyone knock him unduly, the old brain box leads me back to Leicester in 1973 or 74 when he completely blew me away with an astounding set of most of his classic songs. He had a kick ass band of hicks all gossied up in cowboy gear. he himself was attired in the obligatory black leather and shades. I tell you ,this performance was perfect! He delivered without being bombastic or pretentious. I thought I was going to follow this guy anywhere if he can pull off shows like this. Then I saw him at Crystal Palace a few months later with a new band and he was crap. Really crap. Story of Lou's life methinks, up and down like the proverbial yo yo, but I will always treasure that one gig . dave lang. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Jan 1998 04:40:29 -0800 From: jeffery vaska Subject: Re: FegDeadheads = FegVotes hey gang, made a slip... it wasn't Eb who informed us about jerry garcia and robyn at the rem show - it was ben... sorry about that Eb and the rest of you. jv (who is expecting to be subpoena'd and then ignored by the group sometime soon) jeffery vaska wrote: > > hey doods... > > it's 3am and i can't sleep...suck! > > this is getting juicy...should we, for all posterity chalk up our > feg-votes on this issue (grateful dead suck-o or not). i for one loathe > the grateful dead...ugh...that's my vote. eb's discovery is certainly > startling if you ask me (nothing against jerry personally) - god rest > his soul. > > feg-votez? i'd be happy to tally away if people really want to waste > their time dealing with ANOTHER non-robyn issue...perhaps we'll learn > something about ourselves and feel a whole lot better in the end? maybe > world peace will come to us all then (after we all smoke a mountain of > dope). > > wink, wink...jv > > Eb wrote: > > > > >Don't worry, Dave... you are not alone.

I was the one sitting in back daydreaming - this is the part that happened after you woke up - and then Robyn asked me if I had done my homework and I hadn't, in fact I had never even taken the class before, so I gave him some smart-ass answer, and he was about to yell at me but then Eb and the Quail started fighting - there were feathers everywhere, it was gruesome - and Robyn punished them by making them write all the lyrics to "It's the End of the World As We Know It" 50 times on the chalkboard, each. Then he took out his guitar and asked for requests, and someone asked him to play "Iron Man," so he did, but he sang the lyrics backwards, and it was really cool. Then my old high school chemistry teacher - the one who dressed up as a "conceptual potato" for Halloween - turned up and offered a detailed, song-by-song critique of "Underwater Moonlight," including the "Bucky/Mucky" controversy, and Robyn fell asleep, and half the students escaped out the window and were eaten by lobsters.

I went on a record-buying spree over the weekend and am now the proud possessor of, among other things, "Mossy Liquor," "Black Snake Diamond Role," and two Feg suggestions, Dan Bern and the Kinks' "Something Else." The Kinks album is good - lacking much of the tweeness of "Village Green" - but after one cursory listen, I can't quite see the appeal of Dan Bern - he's just another Dylanesque folkie type, though with a bit more of a sense of humor. Maybe further listens will reveal more. n. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Jan 98 9:53:46 EST From: Ross Overbury Subject: Re: Tangerine Dream evolution > This compilation also features Amon Duul, Flho de Dologhe, Guru Guru, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > Annexus Quam, Limbus, Embryo, and the excruciatingly painful Witthuser > & Westrupp. > My most sincere apologies to all you Floh de Cologne fans out there. - -- Butterfingers Montreal, Quebec, Canada email: rosso@cn.ca ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Jan 1998 10:41:22 -0500 (EST) From: Eugene Subject: Re: Invisible Storefront On Tue, 20 Jan 1998, John Barrington Jones wrote: > First, the release date for the soundtrack to Storefront Hitchcock (Feb > 24th or 28th as mentioned in an Addicted to Noise article) disappeared.

Is the "double vinyl" the studio album tentatively titled _Jewels for Sophia_ (originally said to be due in late 1998)? or something else? I wish they'd go ahead and release the soundtrack anyway--I've seen many soundtracks which arrived long before their accompanying films in the past. What a disappointment. It's suddenly seeming like a long while since _Moss Elixir_. For a guy as prolific as Robyn is, he doesn't release new music very often anymore. > This is all very tenative.

What an awesome post! Everybody freeze...I got this one! Terry, >expect a huge email any moment! > >Mike (this lists biggest Cope fan by far) Runion Whoa! I cannot let this claim go unchallenged. I will wrestle Mike for it, WWF rules, Quail officiating, at a planet to be named later... (I know, "Later" is a funny name for a planet...) Oh, and the ultimate commentary on Garcia and Dead: Crow's endless guitar solo in the host segments of MST3K's THE DEAD TALK BACK, which consited almost entirely of scales. later, Miles, who'll also will be e-mailing Terry off list... ============================================================== JASON WILKINS (of Neilson Hubbard): Victor's was just starting to happen, then it burned down.

Shell" Subject: DeadRadio No Robyn content but this thread has been going long enough, I think I'll join. I put the Dead in the same class as Captain Beefheart, kind of an acquired taste. Check out www.deadradio.com, all dead, all the time. Oh yeah Lou Reed is an asshole. The only decent shit he ever did was in compilation with other artists. "Songs for Drella" was very good, but that was done more out of repentance than anything else. Fuck Reed, Long live the DEAD. Regards, Gregory S.

I guess the question we'd all like to ask is: when *is* capitalism going to fall, anyway? Daniel Saunders "Lights! Camel! Action!
