I can't speak much for the Amps album, but U2 shouldn't have really felt like they were under any pressure to release a potboiler of an album. I'm betting that they just lazily threw together "Zooropa" because they just didn't care anymore what kind of crap they were feeding the fans. When tons of people bought it, they decided to make a new career out of throwing together half-hearted shite and waving their "we're just parodies of the bloated rock stars that we appear to be" flags. So, phooey on "Zooropa" and phooey on U2, who easily beat out Morrissey for *my* phooey artist of the decade (without Johnny Marr, what did you really expect? -- hell, I'm just happy to have gotten "Vauxhall and I" out of him!). - -----MIchael K. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Aug 1998 13:14:22 -0400 From: tanter Subject: Re: "Phooey" Album of the Decade!

I've thought of doing it but it's soooo expensive. I've thought of giving out RH and Squeeze. I like the Aqua album--it would be good for teenagers. But we rarely have enough cash to spend $15 or so on everyone we'd like to buy for so a lot of the time I make tapes for people on top quality tape and choose albums I know they'll like.

During the North African Campaign, a bunch of Selzrey [?] boys came off of a long hike. They arrived at a little town called Casino. The next day being Sunday, some of the boys went down to church. The Sergeant found the boys in church. After the service was over, the lesson was taken up. Most of the boys read Proverbs [? 3 syllables]. But one soldier had only a deck of cards. He [record skips]...called before the Prize [?] Marshal. [record skips]...said the Prize Marshal. "I'm playin' cards in church, sir!" said the soldier. "And what have you to say for yourself, sir?" said the Prize Marshal. "Much, sir," said the soldier. "You see, I have to satisfy you with the purity of my intentions. You see, when i see the ACE, it reminds me that there is, but one god. When I see the DEUCE, it reminds me that the bible is divided into two parts: the front, and the back.

When I see the QUEEN, it makes me think of the [? 3 syllables]. When I see the KING, it reminds me of [? 11 syllables] where you can buy bicycle clips.

I'll not only > give this album a Phooey, but a Phew to boot. It probably warrants an Oof, > Eek and Blecch too. I feel the same way about Adrian Belew's "Op Zop Too Wah". P-U!!! His previous albums were all wonderful: "Lone Rhino" is a classic - one of the best of the 1980s; "Twang Bar King" was fun and lively, though not nearly as good all the way through as "LR"; "Desire Caught By The Tail" wasn't as listenable as the first two, but I think it helped Adrian break some new ground as far as guitar/guitar synth technology is concerned; "Mr. Music Head" is the one with the "hit" ;-) although there are several strong songs on it ("House of Cards," "One Of Those Days" and "1967" especially stand out); "Young Lions" was nothing short of spectacular - one of my favourites of the 1990s. "Inner Revolution" was also great - it ranks just below "YL" on my list of favourite Belew solo albums (I've heard only a couple songs from "Here" and nothing from "Acoustic Adrian Belew" and "Belewprints". If we take into consideration his King Crimson (nuff said here) and his two albums with the Bears (especially their first album) and all of his session and production work, Adrian has a pretty good track record of being involved with quality products. So, what happened with "Op Zop Too Wah"? I have a feeling that he probably blew his creative wad on "Young Lions" and "Inner Revolution" and just wasn't able to match his performances from those two albums. Whatever it was, I hope it was just a rut and not something that's going to become a pattern in his work. "Phooey" artists of the 1990s: Bruce Springsteen - What the hell has he done for us lately? And don't say "The Streets of Philadelphia" or I'll kick your ass!!! Sir Paul McCartney - "Off The Ground" aka "Press Pt. II"? What was he thinking? Eric Clapton - First, "Tears In Heaven", then the new "Layla" and now "Change the World" with Puffyface or Baby Puff or Puffy Spice or whatever the fuck his name is. What the hell is going on? Eric used to be God, now he's only slightly bigger than Rod (some of you will get this, I'm sure). T.A.F.K.A. Prince - Apart from "Emancipation" he has done nothing since "Sign O The Times" that has made my ears perk up. Sting - C'Mon Gordy...It's really in everyone's best interest if you just call up Andy and Stew and kiss and make up, then carry on as if nothing had happened. We'll look the other way, too. We promise. Now...about that platter of shite called "Ten Summoner's Tales"... Paul Simon - "Hello? This is the songwriter's hall of fame calling Mr. Simon. We regret to inform you that your membership has been revoked for failing to meet the high standards expected of you and for resting on the laurels of your previous work. That is all. Goodbye!" Todd Rundgren - Decade's almost over, Todd. We'd like one good album before it ends. Wheeeee! Albums and artists of the 1990s. (In no particular order): Neutral Milk Hotel "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" Bob Dylan "Time Out Of MInd" Steve Earle "Corazon" Chris Issak "Forever Blue" Billy Bragg and Wilco "Mermaid Avenue" Ween "Chocolate And Cheese" Beck "Odelay" Tom Petty "Wildflowers" Johnny Cash "American Music" REM "Out Of Time" RH & tE "Respect", "Moss(y) (E)li(qu)(x)(o)(i)r" Public Enemy "Fear Of A Black Planet" Matthew Sweet "Girlfriend" The Lost Highway Soundtrack XTC "NONSVCH" (XTC has the distinction of being the only artist on both my wheeee! list and my phooey list for releasing only one album this decade). King Crimson "Frame By Frame: The Essential King Crimson" Pearl Jam "Vitology" Nirvana "Nevermind" BR5-49 (Thanks to Miles for recommending them) Vic Chesnutt "About To Choke" (thanks to whomever it was on the list for recommending him) Nine Inch Nails "The Downward Spiral" Nick Cave Tortoise Bela Fleck and The Flecktones "UFO Tofu" These are just the ones that I still own. There are others I've had in the past that I wish I could have back again that would probably make the list as well. I'm not a U2 fan so it probably won't surprise anybody when I tell you that my two fave U2 albums are "Zooropa" and "Rattle and Hum".

Boy, I'm with you there. Yes, let's give the award to My Bloody Valentine. Hands down. California Uber Mouse-Ally: >I feel the same way about Adrian Belew's "Op Zop Too Wah". P-U!!! Yeah? I liked it, though I didn't love it. I certainly liked it better than Here, Young Lions, The Guitar as Orchestra and a couple of other solo Belew discs. I tend to like "grab bag" records. I like eclectic albums with lots of little fragmented songs, where it takes forever to fully assimilate them. Where you think, "Hey, this would be a fun CD to play using the Shuffle function." I recently discovered the two Money Mark discs and was pleasantly surprised -- he's definitely in that category for me. Ween is another example. As is Chris Knox/Tall Dwarfs. As is Op Zop Too Wah. Personally, Op Zop Too Wah was probably my favorite Belew record since Mr. Music Head. A nice balance between his pop and avant-garde sides. Another selling point is that it de-stressed lyrics. Belew's recent lyrics can be exasperatingly goody-two-shoes. He caught a nasty case of that "Let's love one another and save the planet" virus which so sadly felled Sir Paul of Jowls. >His previous albums were all wonderful: "Lone Rhino" is a classic - >one of the best of the 1980s; "Twang Bar King" was fun and lively, >though not nearly as good all the way through as "LR"; Twang Bar King is my favorite Belew record. Lone Rhino is too much based in gimmickry and effects -- Twang Bar is a lot stronger as a showcase of songwriting. Better produced and more varied, too.

I suppose that's true.

And >don't say "The Streets of Philadelphia" or I'll kick your ass!!! Sure, no argument.

That seems a bit harsh to me. I would never say he's resting on his laurels. Whenever Simon comes out with a project, it clearly seems like "something new." I mean, when a guy dares to mount a Broadway show (albeit a belly flop) for the first time at his age, you can hardly say he's resting on his laurels. >Todd Rundgren - Decade's almost over, Todd.
