If you were limited to selecting from just one note (e.g., you're "riffing" on a didjeridoo), there would be 65,536 possible riffs within that one 4/4 measure of 16th notes . . . but that's also only if you're playing nothing but 16th notes. If you start incorporating quarter notes, whole notes, dotted eighths and all the rest, then the number of possibilities gets much larger (2 possibilities with a whole note -- played or unplayed; 4 possibilities for half-notes; then there are all the possible combinations of different note durations). Then, once you've figured all this out, you still have to determine how this palette would expand once you put down your didj and picked up a gee-tar or a pie-ana (please, people, don't go trying to lift your pianos!). You could even get "picky" and say that an E played on the open low-E string is a different note than if you picked that string on the 12th fret. And then you could get into variances of timbre, claiming that the same note on a guitar, when picked with a "Hail Mary" pick, is totally different than when that note is played with a carefully tuned violin (a performance tip from Nigel Tuffnel). So, you start getting stuff like: a 16th rest, followed by a fingerpicked dotted-1/8th C# on the 11th fret of the D-string, followed by an e-bowed whole note B on the open B-string, etc.). And then, of course, it gets more convoluted when you strecth it out all the way to, say, a four-measure riff. Still, Adrian Belew has probably played all of these possible riffs at least once. I hope that helps you out there, Eddie. There's nothing I love better than assisting others via the dissemination of practical information such as this.

Assuming this is news to others here, I know who David Greenberger is. He was in a band called Men & Volts who released several records during the '80s (one of them was on Shimmy-Disc), and he's also the guy responsible for presenting Ernest Noyes Brookings to the world. If you don't know who ENB is either, he was this weird old convalescent-home man (now dead) who wrote these strangely stilted, descriptive poems. I believe there have been *four* Brookings tribute compilations now (assembled by Greenberger), including artists like (um....) Christmas, Young Fresh Fellows and Andy Partridge (I think??). Artists take a Brookings poems and set them to music. I've heard two of these albums -- they're really not that great, though the poems/lyrics do have an interesting style. Also, Greenberger runs (ran?) a fanzine called Duplex Planet (note the above address "duplanet@GLOBAL2000.NET"), which is devoted to the lives and thoughts of senior citizens. Greenberger's day job is in a nursing home, so that's why he's plugged into all this. Now, Gawd only knows what this has to do with Robyn Hitchcock!

I live in Texas now! >From: Tom Clark >Subject: Re: Permanent brain damage > >There's a great bio of Ozzy Osbourne in this month's Penthouse where he >says that around 1971 he and Bill Ward dropped acid every day for a year. I remember hearing an interview with Ozzy, and he said he was on an airplane and had dropped four hits, and then proceeded to leave his body and watch himself. Wiggy. Have you seen the Black Sabbath videotapes? (Heck, you can get them at Blockbuster.) Geezer and Tony talk about the huge hash joints they'd smoke before gigs. The anectdote about Tony, baked beyond coherence, playing an imaginary flute by himself to a full auditorium is worth the price of the rental alone. But then again, the audience, baked beyond coherence, prolly thought he was the opening band. > And he turned out fine!! Well, one could argue. Granted, Ozzy has some bad drug/alchohol abuse issues (which I'm not gonna criticize), but his music certainly has slipped since he kicked the herb and 'cid, IMNSHO. Black Sabbath's first two three albums make up the core of the Stoner Album Canon, and boy howdy they sure were altered when they made those albums. But "Bark at the Moon"? What the *hell* was he thinking? >Actually, that Mickey Mouse blotter was pretty good around 1980.

Wasn't Pete tripping at Woodstock? I'm pretty sure he was. [snip info about the song "The Shout"] Whoa, one of my favorite Pete songs ever. I actually rank it up there with Robyn's IODOT. It also makes me wonder how many other wonderful, one-off, gut-wrenching masterpieces Pete has in his closet collecting dust. I think it's time for another Another Scoop compilation, and I too heartily recommend the ones that are already released. I also heartily recommend the album by Pete's daughter, Emma, "Winterland". A loose, gorgeous, compelling album, and her voice is amazing. It's got its hooks in me and I can't resist listening to it every week. And that hasn't happened to me in a long time. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Oct 1998 14:27:33 +1300 From: james.dignan@stonebow.otago.ac.nz (James Dignan) Subject: Time for a namedrop (was Re: Tube question ahead (0%RH)) >At 11:36 PM -0400 10/20/98, James Dignan wrote: >>nope, they were all red except on the Victoria line, which was only just >>opening by then, IIRC.

I don't want to draw this thread out into a big debate, and as I'm just getting my feet wet in Fegland again, I don't want to annoy anyone....and I know I'm probably not going to change anyone's mind....but... I won't argue with anyone's right to fill their head with whatever chemicals they feel inclined to take. However.... While plenty of people can take dope (and that includes alcohol!) and not suffer ill consequences...from my own personal experience...my perceptions of the world have not been affected (positively especially) by drugs. I was quirky before drugs...and I'm no more or less quirky now. I see no positive's from drugs (other than medical). However, my good friend and drummer in my band had a terrible psychosis after a (normal) dose of LSD. He now suffers from recurring bouts of delusional mania. I have taken over 70 trips myself, and I have only had slight residual effects, but in him...it pushed him over the edge. Yes, he may have been predisposed to this condition, but he had shown no signs beforehand...lord knows it wasn't healthy for him. I know he regrets taking the drug. I know several people who have died as a result of drug overdoses, liver failure/pancreatis from alcohol, or car crashes from DUI. I work voluntarily in a psychiatric ward with a drug and alcohol unit. I see 20-30 new people a week who's lives are adversely affected by these substances. The fact is that these chemicals DO harm people...and don't seem to bring much good into the world. I'm not saying people should not be allowed to use them, or should be locked up for having them....I think they should be legal (especially since the worst drug--alcohol--is legal). But I think people are better off if they never use them. I know that when I'm older and facing the end of my existence on this planet...I'm not going to look back at my life with regret and say "Damn...all those great drugs I could have used...look at all the great highs I missed!" Life is already filled with beautiful and strange scenery, quirky viewpoints, mystical experiences, soaring and shimmering music, intense emotions that are both sweet and frightening, and plenty of chaos and confusion thrown in for good measure. However...people can agree to disagree. And I do think it is terribly hypocritical of a culture to condone and actively promote one highly-destructive substance and discourage and punish people for taking another. OK...I've spewed about this for way too long. - --------------------------------------- About the upcoming album.....I wonder..since R.H. always seems to put songs from previous album titles on the *next* album...will the song "Jewels for Sophia" be on a later album...and not on the album Jewels for Sophia (if it is ultimately called that). Wonder which of his new songs will actually end up on the album? I hope "I Feel Beautiful" shows up there or maybe "I Saw Nick Drake", although I can only imagine how the versions will change from the live acoustic versions.
