Fegs, oh Fegs, just when I feel that I've run out of patience with this list, you prove your worth once again. I have to take back my criticisms of the dearth of inventive posts on the list, what a week ! Bayards magnificent story,Eb's response to it and the idyllic fegtopia on Nz postulated by Gnat and Viv to name but a few..A vintage week methinks. My interest in the list is rejuvenated !!!!!!. Now my only complaint concerns the amount of quoted text in some posts, just a teensy bit too much at times lads, the old scroll bar was white hot on my superannauated 630 and steam was emanating from within its bowels as it tried to keep up with the excess quotes. But wait ! In OCTOBER the mortgage will be paid off and lo, a new ( or perhaps secondhand ) G3 will grace my desk ! Once I have this I will probably be able to scroll faster than a Mercat being chased by a cobra... My only doubts about buying new being the crappy keyboard and stupid mouse they ship with them now, Tom, tell Mr Jobs to fix this !

I don't recall if the offer was from a list member or just a polite spam, but I got this disc and I like it a LOT. They're Jellyfish clones, but they do it well and the songwriting is pretty good. The statement that came with it says that they're a group of "the best studio musicians in Boston who are dedicated to pop with influences such as Beatles, Jellyfish, Robyn Hitchcock, XTC...etc." If anyone else received this disc or has any more info on Shecky I'd like to hear from you. - -russ - ------- Russ Reynolds ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 11:31:58 PST From: "Capitalism Blows" Subject: the "killer app" of husbandry was cockfighting conversation i had two days ago with the boss' five year old grandson: him: does your mama know you're bald? me: i guess so. him: does your dad know you're bald? me: more than likely. him: do you know why you're bald? me: why? him: 'cause you're white. conversation i had with same grandson yesterday: him: hey eddie, after you're done eating, do you wanna play some b-ball? me: you pay me thirty bucks, and i'll let you play me for five minutes. and believe me, you're getting a bargain. him: i just want to see if i can make one basket... me: you can't. him: ...because i have a trick i want to try. me: [laughing] you do, huh? him: it's tight! me: the only thing "tight" is going to be how you're screwed into the ground. him: [rolling his eyes] man. i'll be beating your freakin' *ass*. those of you (and i know it's just SOOOO many of you) that lie awake nights wondering how you can make eddie's day may want to take heed of this next item. mailed an italian tape-trading friend on the seventh (in other words, the first night of robyn's italian stand) asking him if he'd be taping. i was aghast when he frantically responded saying he didn't know anything about the tour, and could i get the dates to him? so i did. and now he's sent the following: Hello Eddie! I went to Bologna last night even if we had a terrible snowfall all day long!!! I was caught in the middle of it......... 60 miles under snow and freeze!!! But I got there and it was great. I taped the show and met Robyn; he was in a great mood. I have the poster of the "solo performance" tour autographed by Robyn with dedication for you!!! I really didn't heard anything about the Robyn tour........... I am planning to go to Milan on Saturday. Will speak to you soon. Thanks and regards italy isn't on the "metric" system? y' ever seen Hearts Of Darkness? well, of *course* you have: you're the fegs! i myself like it quite a bit better than Apocalypse Now istelf, for what it's worth. anyhow, one of my favorite little parts is where coppola is sitting there being interviewed, and he's talking about how the way technology is going, won't be too long before some little eight year old girl with her little handheld camera will make something completely beautiful. nah, susie's the deejay for the pirate radio station, KFEG. er, how are the radio call letters arranged in new zealand? i like the look of "KFEG," anyway. perhaps try "national farm bureau convention." do you believe in miracles? yes! the u.s. openly supported the taliban (and bin laden himself) until quite recently, and quite possibly will do so again once the whole bin laden thing blows over. thought i'd already done so. but, okay. i'm not going to give page numbers because, frankly, i think it's pretty silly. the issue is much too complex to just throw out a few page numbers to show that the matter is decided one way or the other. and let me say at the outset that it's never been a matter of, you know, "let's put all the same people back in power in the name of pure sadism." or what have you. and i don't even think you could say that planners had enough forethought to determine in advance that, okay, this is how we need the world economy to look, and this is the way we're going to get it to look like that. i think they hit on things that "worked," and went with them. of course, more less the same solutions have been practised for 500 years. but i imagine that bosses wouldn't have any problem with democracy or self-determination if it were a "viable" option. i guess i'm trying to say that the *system* is evil. and of course, ots of other works cited in these books...

First off, Superchunk are on an indie label out of choice. >> Well, that was me. I don't know if the original context made more sense, or if I just poorly phrased what I was saying. What I basically meant to say is that there are a lot of knock-off indie bands out there that take what was original and great about bands (that I like!) like Superchunk and Pavement (spotted malkmus at Satyricon last night, btw) and then kinda drone their way through it. I'm sure some will disagree, but I find this to be true of bands like Modest Mouse, Track Star, and, oh, about a million other bands. So, I have *zero* criticism for Pavement and Superchunk (well, respectively, "Wowee Zowee" and "Here's Where the Strings Come in" both leave me a little flat . . . but, hey . . . ). It's just that, and as is always the case, a couple of good bands have started something which has gradually become like a mimiograph of a fax of a scribbled out memo, then left to soak in yesterday's now-flat glass of generic cola, with a few cigarette butts thrown in for good measure. Okay, Modest Mouse, in particular, isn't that bad. I can't even remember the names of the bands that are *that* bad. But there are plenty of them out there.

The DJ's ring someone at work and ask if they are married or in a serious relationship. If yes, then this person is asked 3 very personal questions that vary from couple to couple then asked for their significant other's name and work phone number. If the significant other answers correctly then they are winners This particular day (12-9-98) it got interesting: DJ: HEY! This is Edgar on WBAM. Do you know "Mate Match"? Contestant: (laughing) Yes I do. DJ: What is your name? First only please. Contestant: Brian DJ: Are you married or what Brian? Brian: Yes. DJ: "Yes"? Does this mean you are married? or what? Brian? Brian: (laughing nervously) Yes I am married. DJ: Thank you Brian. OK, now, what is your wife's name? First only please Brian. Brian: Sara. DJ: Is Sara at work Brian? Brian: She is gonna kill me. DJ: Stay with me here Brian! Is she at work? Brian: (laughing) Yes she is. DJ: All right then, first question: When was the last time you had sex? Brian: She is gonna kill me. DJ: BRIAN! Stay with me here man. Brian: About 8 O'clock this morning. DJ: Atta boy. Brian: (laughing sheepishly) Well ... DJ: Number 2: How long did it last? Brian: About 10 minutes. DJ: Wow! You really want that trip huh? No one would ever have said that if it there weren't a trip at stake. Brian: Yeah, it would be really nice. DJ: OK. Final question: Where was it that you had sex at 8 this morning? Brian: (laughing hard) I ummmmm .... DJ: This sounds good Brian - where was it? Brian: Not that it was all that great just that her mom is staying with us for a couple of weeks and she was taking a shower at the time. DJ: Ooooooh, sneaky boy! Brian: On the kitchen table. DJ: "Not that great"? That is more adventurous than the last hundred times I have done it. Anyway, (to audience) I will put Brian on hold, get his wife's work number and call her up. You listen to this. ADVERTISEMENTS DJ: (to audience) Let's call Sara shall we? (touch tones - ringing) Clerk: Kinko's. DJ: Hey, is Sara around there somewhere? Clerk: This is she. DJ: Sara, this is Edgar with WBAM. I have been speaking with Brian for a couple of hours now ... Sara: (laughing) A couple of hours? DJ: Well, a while anyway. He is also on the line with us. Brian knows not to give away any answers or you lose soooooooo do you know the rules of "Mate Match"? Sara: No DJ: Good. Brian: (laughing) Sara: (laughing) Brian, what the hell are you up to? Brian: (laughing) Just answer his questions honestly OK? Sara: Oh, Brian ... DJ: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sara I will now ask you 3 questions and if you answer exactly what Brian has said then the 2 of you are off to Orlando, Florida at our expense. This does include tickets to Disney World, Sea World and tickets to see the Orlando Magic play. Get it Sara? SARA! GET IT? Orlando Magic, they are on strike Sara - helloooooo - anyone home?! Sara: (laughing hard) YES, yes. Brian: (laughing) DJ: All right, when did you have sex last Sara? Sara: Oh God, Brian! ...this morning before Brian went to work. DJ: What time? Sara: About 8 I think.

Warner. USA) No nos obsequió el viejo Robyn con un disco realmente nuevo el año pasado. A pesar de su intermezzo creativo, su nombre sigue de plena actualidad, tras el rodaje que Jonathan Demme ha realizado de un concierto recitado que el artista ofreció para la ocasión. La cinta, tributo y adoración de Demme hacia este genial personaje (francamente tan frescamente conservado como hace diez años), ha sido recientemente programada en varios festivales cinéfilos y círculos culturales, de momento muy alejados. Y también, de manera oportunamente comercial, Warner editó la versión CD del evento, sacando así su pequeña tajada del evento. El disco sigue fielmente el guión preestablecido, con esos espacios entre tema y tema, donde "el divino Robyn" se explaya cordialmente ante la audiencia, narrando las historias, los hechos y detalles que le sugieren el motivo de la canción que tocará a continuación. Un elemento clásico en los conciertos, sobre todo cuando se enfrenta cuerpo a cuerpo al auditorio, que se vislumbra a través de la lengua materna de Robyn... pues como cabe suponer al tratarse de una referencia americana, estas introducciones no se encuentran traducidas en el libreto, más bien escaso, que acompaña la edición. Esperemos que el detalle no se les escape a los distribuidores cinematográficos, y se encarguen de subtitular convenientemente la película. Robyn se deja acompañar en el directo por Deni Bonet (violín) y Tim Keagan (guitarra y coros), para dejar el resto de instrumentación -tan sólo el eterno duelo entre acústica y eléctrica, y la armónica- en manos de un Hitchcock acústico y sencillo, sin más ayuda que su garganta para complacer a su público, que es capaz de entenderle tan bien como él mismo, o tal vez mejor. Por no ocultar nuestra dentera (podéis imaginarla), acabar reflejando que RH estuvo tocando en España la semana pasada. - ----- ROBYN HITCHCOCK: Storefront Hitchcock (CD Warner. The USA) It did not flatter the old Robyn with a really new disc the last year to us. In spite of creative his intermezzo, its name follows of the total present time, after the running that Jonathan Demme has made of a recited concert that the artist offered for the occasion. The tape, tribute and adoration of Demme towards this brilliant personage (frankly so freshly conserved as for ten years), recently have been programmed in several cinéfilos festivales and cultural circles, at the moment very moved away. And also, of opportunely commercial way, Warner published the version CD of the event, thus removing his small slice from the event. The disc follows the script faithfully pre-established, with those spaces between subject and subject, where " the divine Robyn " explaya sincerely before the hearing, narrating itself histories, the facts and details that suggest the reason to him for the song that will touch next. A classic element in the concerts, mainly when hand-to-hand faces to the audience, who glimpses then through the maternal language of Robyn... as he is possible to suppose when being an American reference, these introductions are not translated in the libreto, rather little, that the editing accompanies. Let us hope that the detail does not escape to them to the distributed one. Robyn is let accompany in direct by Deni Bonet (violin) and the Tim Keagan (guitar and choirs), to leave to the rest of instrumentation - only the eternal duel between electrical acoustics and, and the harmonica into the hands of an acoustic and simple Hitchcock, without more aid than its throat to perhaps please its public, who is able to understand to him so or as he himself, or better. Not to hide our dentera (you can imagine it), to end up reflecting that RH was touching in Spain the last week. ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V8 #57 ******************************
