Back to Chicago... I don't miss Marmite, but I do miss Kit Kats... In an off topic, I went to an in-store appearance at Borders' in Chicago this last weekend to see a Brazilian guitarist, Badi Assad. I'd read about her stuff in Äcoustic Guitar Player" magazine, and was intrigued with the description of her playing style-- she's from a musical family (two of her older brothers play classical guitar, and are heroes in Brazil) and her own guitar playing style is classical and latin influenced, but she throws in a large amount of African mouth-music styles. She's got a great singing voice, with a great range-- it's wild to hear her singing and at the same time, hearing clicking and popping sounds come from her mouth. The effect is percussive, with all the sounds playing off of each other, and the sounds of the guitar's rhythm are a great counterpoint. She's doing more free in-stores at Borders' across the States-- check it out. Any word from Antwoman if there's going to be another Isle Of Wight gig this year? Pink World rules.

Dear Boodle Boodle Boodle-- I, too, have been in the same boat as you when it comes to Dylan. The only Dylan songs I had ever heard (at one point--and not counting the obvious "Blowing In The Wind", "Rolling Stone", and "Rainy Day Women (the everybody must get stoned song)") were ones I heard Robyn covering. I enjoyed these, and so endeavoured to try and get into Dylan, since he was someone who greatly influenced Robyn. My first try was "Blonde on Blonde", since it included a song that Robyn played quite alot in 1994 solo shows---"Visions of Johanna". while I enjoyed the song, and some others, overall I was disappointed. Next I checked out "John Wesley Harding" from the library and my wife and I listened to it on a long road trip. I really enjoyed it, but the way the harmonica was eq'ed drove my wife up the wall, and she made me turn it off. the harmonicas are really tinny-sounding on that album. I would give the album maybe 3 or 4 stars. The third album I tried out was "Highway 61 Revisited". Oooooooh baby, this one was the clincher. It has most of the songs Robyn played on the Dylan Royal Albert Hall memorial gig. But Dylan plays them so much better!!! The album is incredible. A nice, overall majestic kinda feel to it. The album holds up as a whole, nice flow, and incredible incredible songs. This would be the one Dylan album to own in my humble opinion. - -jbj - -*-#-*-#-*-#-*-#-*-#-*-#-*-#-*-#-*-#-*-#-*-#-*-#-*-#-*-#-*-#-*-#-*-# John B.

I always liked his songs, but it was just too painful to deal with them as they drained out of his nose. Amost everybody whose songwriting I admire credits him with a profound influence on them (including Zappa.) That said, I suppose that RH's "songwriter" albums might grab some Dylheads. I'm thinking IODOT and Eye here fer starters. I think that would allow them to see how significantly unique Robyn is.

(i can only listen to the latter with my finger poised to skip "Just Like A Woman" and sometimes "Leopard-Skin Pillbox Hat".) once i realized he wasn't a complete fraud, "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" grew on me, though it used to make me gnash my teeth. his voice also started to smooth out after this sequence of albums, so if you want to hear him 'maturing' get Blood On The Tracks -- it's not a disappointment at the $8.99 many stores charge for his back catalogue, but not as consistently great as Highway 61. a ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 13:08:57 -0400 From: "Chaney, Dolph L" Subject: RE: hitchcock and dylan One I haven't seen mentioned yet is _The Basement Tapes_, which I just adore.

There is a problem here because "Like a Rolling Stone" is reckoned to be one of his best! Wait till you hear the stunning version on the long-awaited 1966 tour CD which is reputedly imminent. In fact, you might like to hold off and buy this album when it comes out. ( Unfortunately it has been announced as due for release twice before and then nothing has happened. I'll believe it when I see it... ) "Bringing it all back home" is a key record in his career when he broke out of reverence for Woody Guthrie into something more like his own voice. "Highway 61 revisited" is where he went definitively electric - it's great. If you don't like this one, you will probably never like Zimmerman. "Blood on the tracks" is another excellent record. "Blonde on Blonde" is a long album containing some of his most memorable material, but it is self-indulgent. Some people like "Desire" but I am not among them - that woman just cannot play the violin properly ... If you like your Dylan diluted a bit, the "Basement Tapes" album is good and also contains tracks by Robbie Robertson and other members of the Band. And the Travelling Wilburys albums include a couple of amusing Dylan songs. Finally, the most recent album 'Time out of mind' has been garnering good reviews. Haven't heard it yet, though. Enjoy! - - Mike Godwin PS Talking of Rolling Stones, the band of that name have just cancelled their UK tour because they don't fancy paying UK taxes!

"what in sam hell is going on *here*"??? and of course, i *still* have to wonder what in god's name i'm watching when i view A Zed And Two Noughts. that is one seriously fucked up movie. you'd like it, jeme. and just one more, then i shut up. when The Far Side first began its run in the seattle times in late '81, i had only been alive on this planet for 11+ years. 11+ pretty sheltered years at that. so, probably the most far-out thing i'd ever seen in a comic strip was dennis the menace's bare ass. needless to say, The Far Side was quite an awakening. i guess i had the opposite reaction to it as Achy Breaky. i didn't know what the hell it was, but i knew i wanted to see more. by the way, does anybody remember a comic strip called The Chef? i recall it having started running in the times right around the same time as The Far Side. it was really hilarious, but then it got the axe rather quickly. hey, i was buying some robyn cd's for graduation presents, and noticed that all the rhino titles (except PERSONALITY TRAITS) are only $11.99! when did this happen? i'm almost certain that i paid $14.99 for them when they first came out in '95. oh, am i the only one that really can't seem to get jazzed up about the world cup this time? i think it has a lot to do with sweden having not qualified (and anyone wondering why i would give a rat's ass about whether sweden qualifies or not, go watch My Life As A Dog, then get back to me.) once they start playing, i'm sure i'll be into it. but, i dunno. i seem to be less and less a sports fan every year. husky football will surely be the last one to go, though. <> Holland, 1945 gets my vote, too. by far the best song on the album. i agree. definitely the most initially appealing.> it was my favorite at first, too. but upon repeated listens, Two-Headed Boy Part Two *really* does it for me. i think it's got much do with it just summing up the album. by the way, could you believe that rekkid clocks in under 40 minutes? it's so epic, it seems like it *must* be at least an hour long. np, beatles ANTHOLOGY 3.
