In addition, Jarv does not go around singing "Ain't it great to be a hooligan" as a theme song. He does the clubs and party thing, and there was the incident where he embarassed M. Jackson on stage, but he's not generally famous for being a destructive one and as far as I know people are not afraid to approach him for fear of getting their lights punched out. If he went around talking about how he was uniting the world with his music, and disclaiming any and all similarity to Roxy Music, you would have more of a point.

I had no problem purchasing it at my local record store (I live in Madison, Wisconsin). They had the cd in stock as well. Then again, B-sides Records rules. ;-) It could just be my record player, but the sound quality isn't all that peachy. The inter-song banter does get a little boring at times, although it is neat when he comments for those that are listening "in the future". I really, really dig the song 'statue with a walkman' at the end of the first side. It has that fun 'storytelling' quality about it. So far I've only progressed to the song Glass Hotel on the second side of the first lp. This too, is really good, IMHO. The packaging had a sticker on the cover that said "includes 5 songs not on the cd version".

A few more thotz on top of my previous thotz. Ayee! Another babbling Mark post! I just picked up the CD for real. "Feels Like 1974" has really grown on me. It's waaay too stream of conciousness for real airplay, but it has some imagery that those of us who remember those ancient times (hi Nick) can remember. It has little hooks that get under the skin. I can't remember which interview of him (must be years old) where he discussed his songwriting with respect to fish and bees and such. I'm sure I'm brutally maiming his words, but I remember that he talked about that being a psychological process where the child externalizes feelings to other animals to work out emotions, and that after some of life's experience he has enabled him to write more about things that are inside him. I also really noticed how Robyn's guitar playing has developed into a better technical vehicle for his presentation. He's more rhythmic (and stays in time better), plays bass and treble parts, and also ducks under his voice better than I remember him to have done in olden days. I like the depth of most of his newer material including the new stuff on this CD as well. Gawd, it looks like I'm gonna have to do something about the vinyl situation too. If there are indeed any fans in fegland, I recommend it. CD's from this year I've liked that I can think of in no particular order: Whitechocolatespaceegg, Liz Phair 50 Eggs, Dan Bern (that was this year, wasn't it?) Stagefront Eggsock, Robyn Hitchcock Airplane Eggs Water Duck Phlegm, Neutral Milk Hotel not far behind is the import EP release of Movie Eggs, by Stan Ridgway I'm still waiting on Smartie Mine, and I hope to get a chance to borrow the Bog Bylan CD soon. I haven't heard Projekt Two yet. I just bought an audience boot recording by Discipline that is about a D quality with constant and crappy audience talking- _during King Crimson_ (to me this is tantamount to urinating on someone's religious paraphernalia while they are praying.

(sorry, I'll try not to mention him again. where;s my black berret?) In other news, anyone know of anyplace that has realistic toy guns in the balt/wash area? I need one for my "Sledgehammer!" costume for Halloween. -luther "Trust me.

The vinyl has all the cd tracks plus Filthy Bird, Statue With a Walkman, You and Oblivion, Airscape, and Eeerie Green Storm Lantern. It is 2 discs, black vinyl, and has the same graffics as the cd but rearranged a lot. I couldn't tell you yet if there are differences in the shared tracks or if the spoken bits are left in on the vinyl, but the timing for all the record tracks are longer except Beautiful Queen. That's it for now.
