It's very accessible, true, but so what? Those songs are *gorgeous*. Ah, 'Two Step'... Then again, their radical revamping post-Ramona gave birth to Red Heaven, which I love. So perhaps it *was* a dead end. And due to my remote location and utter poverty, I've never even heard that hard-to-get-hold-of first album (my collection only stretches back to The Fat Skier), so maybe I'm not qualified to comment at all.

I've heard the Real Ramona mentioned as >being quite good; can anyone confirm this? here's a synopsis of the muses catalogue. _real ramona_ is my favorite; but there are plenty of other great ones. if you can find the first one, it's a great place to start. LIMBO this was a bit of a disappointment for me. many of the songs sounded too samey. 'ruthie's knocking' sounds too much like 'shimmer' and much of the second half sounds a lot like the first half. still, there are fantastic tracks like 'limbo', tar kissers', 'freeloader', and 'shark' to make my mouth water. i've heard a lot about the limited edition LIVE TO TAPE EP with better live versions of several of the songs from this album. a friend of mine is going to let me borrow his copy. UNIVERSITY this album is raucus. the first four songs flow with amazing power and kick-ass passion. this is nothing new. the first album rocks too. it is silly to even hint that kristin has compromised her artistry for cash. sure, she has kids to support but she defies everything that smacks of the blender of popularity. the photoshoot for stolling rone was wild, even if the band was posing. they were so obviously having fun that it became transcendent and resplendent. 'that's all you wanted' is one that i keep playing over and over. sure, the middle of the album slows down quite a bit, but it is a journey. after the demonstration of their louder side 'calm down, come down' beckons us into the more pensive meanderings despite itself. lines like "we can't hardly wait around" and "love's got this drag on it" continue with this theme. the music is about continuence. it brings us back from this point like some kind of mood swing. this is what i always get from a muses album. an emotional tide definitely takes over. THE CURSE expensive but very tasty. pretty representative of their entire (nothing from HOUSE TORNADO or FAT SKIER) catalogue. shows they can still wail as a trio. 'vic' segways into 'bea' quite nicely. my favorite is the version of 'two step'. RED HEAVEN is not a disappointment. it is not their "grunge" album. it is chuckerblock full of awe-inspiring music that sounds like no one but kristin. even when she howls with bob mould, it is her show. her voice and playing are in prime form. 'furious' is awesome. 'pearl' draws you in, has its way with you, and then spits you out. 'firepile' is immediately fresh and catchy. 'carnival wig' is magical. there are a few tunes which sound like works in progress like 'vic', 'summer street', 'dovey', and 'stroll'; but these have a great feel. what i like the least about the album is the cover art. THE REAL RAMONA is wonderful. the interwoven guitar textures are among the strongest they've ever done. fred abong's bass playing is right on and the whole unit sounds tight as a duck's ass. every song is strong. even the ethereal 'dylan' comes off as evocative and powerful and the meandering 'hole in her head' is gut-renching rock. the goodtimey 'golden thing' and 'him dancing' are a far cry from the heart-on-your-sleeve angst of earlier albums. the one-two punch of tanya's 'not too soon' & 'honeychain' gives us a good taste of things to come. 'say goodbye' is transformed from throwaway little ditty to magnum opus. this is definitely my favorite of all of their albums. HUNKAPAPA is a change in direction. experiments with new guitar sounds and textures in an attempt to create a fresh and vibrant sound. it ends up being their least distinctive sound. still, the songs are great and a sense of humor is developing, however twisted. from the warped empowerment of 'devil's roof' to the disillusionment of 'santa claus' the usual gnashing of teeth is become tongue in cheek. tanya's songs definitely have their own dreamy feel. THE FAT SKIER has another version of 'soul soldier' made for the longform video that they did. 'a feeling' is painfully sweet. 'pools in eyes' is a real treasure. HOUSE TORNADO has a really compressed feel to it, but it is extremly cohesive. it takes some getting used to. the production on the album could be better, but there is definitely a mood that is carried by the thin sound. you could play it really loud but it couldn't seem more intimate. it always makes the hair on my neck stand up when kristin makes that warbling noise at the end of 'colder'. the more you listen to this album, the more it becomes a part of you. i remember the songs sounded really great live. does anyone have any live tapes from this tour? THE THROWING MUSES is still only available as an import, it is worth however many pennies you have to scrape together. they received a lot of press when it came out because they were all teenagers. it is truly amazing. if after hearing the one-two-three punch of 'call me', 'green', and 'hate my way' you are not a believer; then you never will be. kristin has told me that she can't stand to play 'hate my way' anymore because it is too raw and immature for her taste (this was in the spring of 1991). 'soul soldier' may seem formulaic with the fast intro slow goove outro, but when it sounds so good, who cares? 'delicate cutters' is a preview of HIPS AND MAKERS years in advance. CHAINS CHANGED is really great if you can find it. 'cry baby cry' is epic and the rest of the four songs are tight, frenetic visions of what was to come. also has 'cottonnmouth'. still waiting to see if it will be released with HOUSE TORNADO on disk. i was lucky enough to find the glorious vinyl in a used record shop for four bucks!

Or, it could be a coincidence as RH claimed on the CBC chat a couple years ago that Mucky was a children's toy. hmmm... Bonus Eb(b) content! Murky Mucky McAlpine Lord McAlpine Out of all the principle players in the murky world of Tory finances, McAlpine strode like a colossus. Yet he was rarely centre stage. Rather he was the stage manager, putting on the show and pulling the strings. He operated from the shadows, knowing that when the Tory party machine put on a show, he was the man who had brokered it. He was their "angel", hoping his baby would break all box office records. From day one he declared himself to be Thatcher's man - answerable only to her. On his first day at Smith Square he changed all the locks on his office doors, but rarely visited there anyway. Nothing of significance was kept in his Smith Square safe - just to be sure. But it was a sackable offence to enter without his permission, and no one ever dared. During his decade and a half of fund-raising in various capacities, he found at least #50 million which can be accounted for. It was almost certainly far more. During this period, on top of his published earnings from the family business, he found enough time to amass a personal fortune of some #30-35 million. Only he and Maggie know whether it was commission or not but it did not come from his business, and it did not reach the Tory party coffers. We know that serious allegations have been made about his private life during this period, and at the same time he was developing a huge leisure complex in Western Australia where he is now, more or less retired. His now known murky management of Tory funds was inherited by John Major. Major's economic adviser, Sarah Hogg, has suggested officially that party finances should be put 'above board once and for all' Even though most Tories agree with her, Major is reluctant to risk it. Even if he had wanted to, he inherited such a secret service that it would be impossible to unravel. It is fair to say here that even in the rubustuous world of politics and the city, not a whisper has been heard about Major's possible involvement with anything untoward. It's just that as things stand it's all rather above him. He cannot control it. Thatcher made it such a personal domain, run by sycophants for a dozen years, that he's got to like it or lump it, or he might find Tory finances (already at a low ebb) running out completely. McAlpine ran various off-shore accounts, the biggest in Jersey, and he created a laundering system which could have fooled the Mafia.

Interesting idea. McAlpine, although a stalwart Thatcher supporter, later deserted the Tories to join Sir James Goldsmith's Referendum Party, an anti-European organisation which picked up a few votes at the 1997 elections. I saw McAlpine on TV just before the election, but he was too drunk to make much sense. Goldsmith subsequently dropped dead, and I assume that the whole party has fallen apart, in which case McAlpine is probably back with the Tories by now. - - Mike Godwin ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 10:24:28 -0700 From: John Barrington Jones Subject: Re: OT: Re: Throwing Muses Doug Mayo-Wells wrote: >the uk version of _house tornado_ appends "chains changed" which is enough >to make it my favorite after the debut album. Oh that it were so, Doug! Actually, the uk version of house tornado appends "the fat skier", and an incomplete "skier" at that!! (no long video version of "soul soldier". For right now, the only way to get _chains changed_ on cd is on a Japanese only 4AD item called 4AD EP 1984. It has the Muses _chains_ ep, a wolfgang press ep, a frazier chorus ep, and a few others. It is hard to find these days. All that will change in August 1998 when Throwing Muses and Rykodisc reissue the first album "throwing muses". The reissue will be a 2-cd, and will include chains changed ep, the 1985 demo tape, and some 1983 demos (but unfortunately not the originals--they rerecorded the songs in 1996) >also, "a feeling" can be found on the 4-ad compilation "lonely is an >eyesore" Actually, <<"Fish">> is the muses song that can be found on the 4AD comp "Lonely Is An Eyesore" (the title of the compilation is actually taken from the Muses song!).

Hmm . . . I have the UK _House Tornado_ disk and it appends _The Fat Skier_. Have I missed something new? I've never been able to find "Chains Changed" anywhere . . . . Also, is the "Cry Baby Cry" on Chains Changed Kristin's song (I have it on a bonus live cd that came with Red Heaven) or the Beatles cover (which was on some other cd single)? Lastly, my vote for best T.M. album is _Red Heaven_. Incredibly under-rated. _House Tornado_ and the debut are amazing as well, but I can't listen to those middle records with the 80's production on them.

Love it. I think it's brilliant. So I ran right out and purchased the album...well, I happened to be buying a shoerack at Target and saw it there. In any case, I did buy it. I've only listened to it about halfway through so far - I kept getting distracted by the Miles Davis/Gil Evans box set the past four or five days - and I'm not as impressed (by Fastball's album, not the Davis box set, which is amazing) by the album overall as I was/am by the single. Sounds like typical "alternative"-radio Matchbox 20-ish material to me. Track 3 or 4 reminds be of a Beatles song. Eventually, everything reminds me of the Beatles though. Except the Spice Girls. They remind me of McCartney's solo stuff. In any case, I whistled "Concierto De Aranjuez" all weekend long, but now I've got the techno-theme to "Lost in Space" stuck in my head. Before that, though, "The Way" wouldn't leave my skull for at least a week. Before that, "Karma Police..." But I digress. By THE WAY, to all concerned: "Lost in Space" is as good, if not better, than "Titanic," for all the same reasons. I would rate the special effects, acting, and story to all be on about the same level. Take that statement however you want. :) Back on-offtopic, as I said, I still really haven't listened to the second half of Fastball's latest release, "All the Pain Money Can Buy," except while doing dishes. So, mostly what I heard was running water. But I'm hoping to find more quality tracks along the lines of "The Way." I'll letcha know.
