Components of newsgroup names can't be more than fourteen characters, though, so someone suggested the legal name alt.music.r-hitchcock. The general consensus among the alt.config regulars was that there wasn't enough Hitchcock discussion going on to warrant the creation of a new group. Nevertheless some undaunted soul sent out a control message creating, not alt.mustic.r-hitchcock, but alt.music.fegmania. I know it's hard to believe now, but back then lots of newsadmins had automatic newgrouping turned off and took the idea of well-designed hierarchies seriously, so a group that didn't meet with the approval of alt.config and didn't have a name that its likely readers would be searching for wasn't likely to be propagated very widely. IIRC, I didn't take notes you know, the control message was also forged, which didn't much help its case.

Talk about being born with a pink spoon in your mouth... all I got was > "Tapestry", damnit!!! It's a good record: 'It's too late' and 'I feel the earth move' are decent songs, not to mention 'You got a friend'. I recently tried to make a list of my favourite singer-songwriter performances, and I got bogged down on the definition of a singer-songwriter album. It's a record where the writer sings the songs, fine: so 'Tapestry' is definitely a singer-songwriter record, as is anything in the mould of those early Dylan albums. But what about Peter Gabriel, or Paul McCartney? You can exclude Wings records as being by a group, but there are 3(?) 'solo' Macca albums which ought to qualify, and on one of those he plays all the instruments himself. You could only disqualify 'Tapestry' on the grounds that it features backing musicians, so on that criterion 'Tapestry' isn't a singer-songwriter album whereas 'McCartney' is - which is a ridiculous conclusion. How do I solve this? Or do I just give up trying to make a list? At the moment, the kind of songs that are in the pre-list list include: Strollin' down the Highway - Bert Jansch Pleasant Street - Tim Buckley It's Too Late - Carole King Postcards of Scarborough - Michael Chapman King's Shilling - Elvis (LHC) Costello Octopus - Syd Barrett Kodachrome - Paul Simon Vincent - Don McLean Heart of gold - Neil Young Down to Zero - Joan Armatrading Gaye - Clifford T Ward Tangled Up in Blue - Bob Dylan I'm trying to find some way of edging 'New Age' in, but it keeps getting disqualified as a group performance.

I thought, "What a ridiculous request." Then I thought again, "That's kind of dumb." Then, "Oooh, I've got a good one to add!" :*) Baby Bird (aka, Babybird or Stephen Jones) who is the lad about whom all should be raving. He's certainly the most interesting singer/songwriter to my ears. Beautiful melodies, simple musical elements combined to create grand results, unpredictable lyrics, affected delivery, and some of the best self-harmonies around. His "Ugly Beautiful" major label debut doesn't do him justice, however. Search out his original lo-fi recordings or check out his "greatest hits" 2cd set for a great introduction, which is usually priced around $12-$14 US dollars and easily found. Anyway, in "45 and Fat" he mentions coke, by spelling out c-o-c-a-c-o-l-a (I wonder if *spelling* rather than *saying* Coca Cola allows the song to be played over British airwaves): "I'll sing about love 'til I'm 45 and fat. I'll take almost anything, but I won't take that. You can tie me up in knots, but I'll keep on coming. You can take away my voice, but I'll keep on humming. C O C A C O L A C O C A C O L A C O L A C O C A C O L A C O C A C O L A C O L A" Well that was the Coke reference. To those who want more, here are the lyrics to the song "Bad Blood" (courtesy of a Baby Bird web site). . . "Touch thumbs and it becomes, two bright suns in the same sky. Bad blood lighting the flood with red dye, spreading so slowly over God's eyes. And it never dries it keeps on going, never slowing, 'til it's showing in every multiplex across the country (kiss your country). Bad blood's everywhere, it's in the flex of ten fingers, like the singers on the Larry Grayson show. It'll run and run like red snow, until the world blows, splitting LCD's into pop songs that put the atom back where it came from. Bad blood, what's wrong with the bridge from here to Hong Kong, with the bridge from here to Hong Kong, with the bridge from here to Hong Kong? Bad blood, bad blood, bad blood. Bad blood, bad blood, bad blood. Tom X steals a million wheels, to cut paddy fields into big deals, like boiled onions and jellied eels, gets the country on an even keel. Bad blood like love is a good feel with an asbestos glove run along the thigh containing bad blood. Cries out for love because all you believe in is love. Cries out for love because all you believe in is love. Bad blood in a white dove flies way above the shovel and spade. I'm not afraid of bad blood. Bad blood buried in the ground like a sound you'll never hear again. Bad blood in your ink pen writes the words 'not now but when?' Bad blood, bad blood, bad blood. Bad blood, bad blood, bad blood." *Ken "no me dice Kenster" Sabatini* ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 08:38:39 -0800 (PST) From: Capuchin Subject: Re: Phrogck On Fri, 12 Mar 1999, Ben wrote: > Eb wrote: > > >I got into Pink Floyd by listening to my parents' copy of "Relics" > > >repeatedly, especially Arnold Layne/See Emily Play. > > I am simply dumbfounded at how "hip" some of the Fegparents are.

Oh, sure, it started out innocently enough with the Beatles. Heck, everybody likes the Beatles. Then the Beach Boys' "Endless Summer" comp seemed spawn off other CDs in my collection, like "Pet Sounds," then these imported two-fers like "Friends/20-20." And it all could've ended with the Kinks. Oh yes -- it could've stopped there. But then, last week, someone recommended the Zombies' "Odyssey and the Oracle" (good stuff!). Well, the floodgates are open at this point. I might as well just admit that I'm getting into 60's pop. So, what else do you folks recommend? I know all sorts of band names and the one or two big hits they had, but I don't really feel like I *know* this era (ya know?). My preference is for original albums that are domestically available on CD, but imports and/or "best of" comps are all right, too. Oh, and my three favorite 60's CDs are probably "Pet Sounds," "Village Green Pres. Soc." and "Rubber Soul" (kinda poppy, twee, pastoral, odd, etc.). I can't wait to see what y'all (which I like to say with a sort of self-conscious emphasis, like Robyn) come up with.

I think it may have warped my > handwriting for life. Wow, that's farther than I ever went. I did, however, festoon all my notebooks and textbook-covers with the phrase "Pink Floyd: The Wall" in that handwriting; underneath I'd usually list all their albums, even the one or two that I didn't have. I also tried to translate "Another Brick in the Wall Part II" into Latin, but gave up when I couldn't decide whether the "you" of "you're just another brick in the wall" should be singular or plural. > I also became quite good at copying ALL of the > artwork, and fantasized that I was making posters for "Pink Floyd The Wall, > The Musical." (yes, this would take place after the long Broadway run of > my Tony Award-Winning "Randy Newman's Good Ol' Boys, The Musical") Have you kept the scripts and artwork? It's not too late to get them produced! (Though we might have trouble getting Roger and his former bandmates to agree on the rights to The Wall.) - --Chris np: Still Pink Floyd's Animals.
