The story goes that it was their third single for their contract. If it wasn't a hit, they would loose the contract. Right when the guitar solo was supposed to start Ray looks to Dave as if to impress on him the importance of the solo, and Dave promptly says "fuck off." I checked it out.

(assuming this was an ETS! reference.) a while back i asked exactly what minimum qualifications are needed to earn a song "title track" status. michael k. offered an interesting response, as i recall. TRAINS, WHERE ARE THE PRAWNS?, and UNCORRECTED PERSONALITY TRAITS have been mentioned already. but, i would argue that a title track is the song from which the name of the album derives. thus: - --Only The Stones Remain is the title track of the studio half of TWO HALVES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE. - --Listening To The Higsons is the title track of GOTTA LET THIS HEN OUT! - --Airscape is the title track of ELEMENT OF LIGHT. - --A Globe Of Frogs is the title track of GLOBE OF FROGS. - --Birds In Perspex is the title track of PERSPEX ISLAND. - --The Yip Song is the title track of RESPECT. (this is a bit of a stretch, of course. but it does say in the liner notes that respect is due raymond hitchcock, and that's who the song's about, more less, so...) - --Beautiful Queen is the title track of BEAUTIFUL QUEEN. (don't know if this is considered an album or not, though.) - --then there's always, uh...BRENDA OF THE LIGHTBULB EYES!! and for bootlegs: - --Lady Waters And The Hooded One is the title track of THE HOODED ONE. - --er, he utters the line, "ah, stand beck, dennis!" on STAND BACK, DENNIS!, but i can't remember which song! yikes! - --Muriel's Hoof/Rout Of The Clones is the title track of ROUT OF THE CLONES. - --[note that The Man Who Invented Himself is *not* on THE MAN WHO INVENTED HIMSELF -- which was released in 1986. in other words, *before* QUEEN ELVIS/EYE and YOU AND OBLIVION/MOSS ELIXIR. even though this was, of course, *after* TWO HALVES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE/BLACK SNAKE DIAMOND ROLE, it's still a nice little trick, i think!] having said all that, i fully expect the new album to be called something *other* than JEWELS FOR SOPHIA. wow! that's great! (by the way, as long as we're overloading mister hedges here, will it eventually be possible to search the gigs by lineup? for example, say i wanted a list of all the times The Yip Song had been performed solo as opposed to with a band. Or a list of the times Queen Of Eyes has been performed with the soft boys, with the egyptians, or solo. hey, i can at least *ask*, can't i?) if i may quote eb: "ehhhhh..." let's say we have four or five super-duper-dubber-rubbers who are willing to make 10 to 15 copies each. let's further say that there are a couple hundred people who want a copy of Crablings V and VI. smells to me like a recipe for a gigantic bottleneck. i think the reason the permatree hasn't been working out as well as we had hoped isn't too hard to see: slacker branches. i'm not going to name names (and in fact, i haven't a clue as to which names i'd name if i'd the inclination to name names. hee hee. may i submit that sentence to the dr. seuss estate?) those branches that couldn't, for whatever reason, make copies of six or eight freakin' tapes in several months' time should, quite simply, be demoted to leaf status. it is, perhaps, a little difficult to get a grasp on the rotation system. but it's not *that* difficult if you read it through once or twice. and, if all else fails, one can just ask. at any rate, correct me if i'm wrong, but the problem wasn't that people couldn't figure out who their leaves were, it was that they couldn't get off their asses and make copies. it'd be *splendid* to be able to click on a gig, and have "the asking tree" spit out a list of all people in possession of a tape of that gig. but i don't think that this particular wiggle can adequately replace a tree structure in the task of getting superior shows/compilations spread as widely as possible. dan bern will be in charlottesville on the 23rd, alexandria on the 24th, and philly on the 25th. it'll be playing in the cinema in frisco in may. and, of course, there's still the canadian premiere! can'imagine it'll go to video before that. boston ain't so far from toronto, kenny. i think you should be able to see it there. by the way, ken, have you ever taken any of chomsky's classes? uh, sure it will. although i do hope it'll be printed on laserdisc as well! question for mr. godwin and commander lang (or anybody else that feels competent to weigh in): is or was "The Bell" a teevee and/or radio show? we've got it listed as a venue. but i received a copy of this very show: 12/17/84, The Bell, London, and was merrily listening along, when robyn said between songs, "welcome to the hope and anchor." so i'm thinking maybe the gig was at the hope and anchor, and was filmed for a show called "The Bell"??? no can crosscheck setlist, unfortunately, 'cause same is not forthcoming from "the asking tree." thanks for reminding me!
