Did you get someone to take pictures?? My NMH-listening history: 1. Heard "Two-Headed Boy" on college radio. Not impressed. Dismissed NMH as yet another band that everyone else gets excited about but I can't get into. 2. After continued blather amongst the Fegs, downloaded clips of "King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1" and the title track from the Addicted to Noise review. Found I couldn't get the damn tunes out of my head. Decided to buy the album. 3. First listen: enjoyed the first half, got bogged down in "Oh Comely" (which I still have problems with - sometimes I skip it entirely), then as the massive guitar roar of "Ghost" kicked in, I reeled in amazement and thought, "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!" It took me a few more listens to get into the rest of the album, but that was the song that really got me hooked. (Oh yeah, and the one with the uillean pipes. "Uillean pipes! *Uillean pipes!!*" - the Quail) 4. Decided to have Jeff Mangum's love child - but I think LJ's beaten me to it. >And stop trying to make fun of XTC fans! We are not monsters!

ITAOTS has become a favorite disc in my household, from my folky-country wife to my ska-and-Led-Zepellin-lovin' kids. I was in a several month long lo-fi indie skunk back during the release of the album. I'd picked up On Avery Island a few weeks before just to see what the fuss was all about. That album took several spins to finally grow on me, but thankfully it prepared me for the blissful stunner that I feel In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is. I was hooked on first listen and have probably played that disc 100 times at least. Actually, it's probably one of the most played albums I own, and we've got well over 1000. I don't know, something about it just clicked with me. I know a lot of people just don't like the thing, and I guess I can see why. I also routinely cover several songs when I play out, including a slow drousy "Holland", and faithful renditions of ITAOTS and Two-Headed Boy, Pt. 2 Back to it...

And, since they're been brought up, I'll mention them again :-) Tindersticks are definitely not for everybody, but I knew Carrie would likeum -- in fact, I just emailed her to remind her that I'd recommended them on the day that we ran into each other at Amoeba in Berkeley (on the same trip where Mark and I had breakfast :-)). They're generally dark and dramatic and feature a nasally baritone singer who mumbles a lot. But they also incorporate a certain amount of loungey camp into their music, owing almost as much to Serge Gainsbourg and Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazelwood for their sound as to Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Pavement, or Joy Division. I wouldn't think there would necessarily be any *obvious* reason for a Feg to like Tindersticks, other than the fact that the average Feg(?!) has a broad and discerning taste in music. All of their albums are good, by the way. Their first self-titled one (red cover with a gypsy dancer) is my favorite -- it's got more of a raw, indie feel to it. Their second self-titled album (blue and gray with the guitarist being fitted for a suit) is also quite good -- a smouldering album, replete with murky-yet-dramatic string arrangements. Their third, "Curtains," is a bit of a melting pot -- my least favorite album (although I still like it a lot!), but with plenty of great individual tracks. Okay, that's my yearly Tindersticks review . . . oh, there'll be a new album sometime this year -- word is anywhere between April and November. - ------Michael K. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Feb 1999 15:13:42 EST From: MARKEEFE@aol.com Subject: Re: Elliot Smith shows In a message dated 99-02-16 03:30:12 EST, you write: << Okay, I have a theory.

And according to Eb, both S-K and ES are going to be in LA during the same week, as well. So, my theory is that Quasi is in fact backing ES up on these shows. Does anyone know if this is true? I've just really been wondering if ES was going to be playing by himself or with a band.

Alan Ayckbourn, Eugene Ionesco, Joe Orton, Tom Stoppard - these playwrights all work loosely within the absurdist tradition, and incorporate greater or lesser degrees os satire. Orton is the edgiest, Soppard maybe the most cerebral. Ayckbourn, the least well-known, is my favorite. He reminds me a bit of Greenaway, only with far less nakedness and rotting flesh. Actually, he only reminds of Greenaway in the formalism of his structures, and just a smidgeon, in terms of sexual dynamics. "Smoking" and "No Smoking" are probably my favorites -- they devolve into different intersecting patterns from choices made or not made in different versions of the same scene. Another of his plays is meant to be seen on three successive nights. On each night you see the action in one of three rooms. As you learn what transpired simultaneously in the other two rooms, your perception of the characters and events is radically altered. - - oh no!! you've just read mail from doug = dmw@radix.net dmw@mwmw.com - - get yr pathos:www.pathetic-caverns.com -- books, flicks, tunes, etc. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Feb 1999 17:38:33 -0600 From: amadain Subject: Re: Once again >The band I'm in, Fly, is playing at the Rock Garden (Covent Garden, >London) again on Sunday 28th February at 8pm.
