You know, I've just barely begun to get into Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" stuff. I'm currently reading his latest book, _The Lost Continent_, in which Pratchett deliciously twists and shreds to bits all that is "Australia" (and some of New Zealand too), interwoven into his fabulously bizarre fantasy. At any rate, while I haven't read any of his other books so can't claim to be an expert on his writings, I would like to mention that he seems to be amazingly Hitchcockian - that same 'truth in oddity' that I've always gleaned from Robyn's lyrics. Totally off the wall stuff that creeps up on you as quite fantastic, but also utterly... right on. And you sure do get your fill of sea life in this Pratchett book. Being killed by prawns, indeed. And all sorts of other lovely creatures - including coconuts. :) I really recommend this book to any Hitchcock fan (if not his whole series - I can't speak for the rest, but anyone is free to back me on this one if they wish). If you enjoy the Robyn stories included in the Ryko CD re-releases, you'll lap this stuff up.

But that is not what I was doing at all. I have already said that Phish's music seems "okay" to me (but not something I'd listen to on purpose or become a fanatic about), however I don't like the particular "frat flock" that they attract on college campuses. >I would bet that many of your favorite artists >have a similarly stereotypical audience. The Geraldine Fibbers have a stereotypical audience?! Oh yeah, there are just DROVES of rabid fans around here.

(hehe) >I'm sure we could come up with a profile >for a typical RH fan just as accurate as that of a "Phish head" or a "Smiths >head"*. I don't think you could; it would be unrealistic. The only reason I made generalizations about bands like Dave Matthews and Phish is that they have a huge public following and one practically has to live in a dark cave in Moravia to escape them. I'm being cynical and labelling a large percentage of their fans, which seems true, but that doesn't mean that all their fans are sheep with poor taste. With most of the 'cult' band/artists we discuss here, it's rare enough to even find another fan IRL, let alone stereotype them. From what I see, Robyn Hitchcock draws all sorts of odd types from all sorts of age brackets and backgrounds. >Obviously, you've never had to live with pretentious, mopey, (bloody >awful) poetry-spewing, sorority girl haters.

Okay, fegs, it's time we came to some sort of agreement on this. EVERY TIME someone tries to get to the bottom of the feg mystery, sooner or later SOMEBODY points to the "explanation" on the fegmania sleeve. Invariably somebody posts the whole story (I've got 4 1/2 digests yet to read tonight and I'd say the odds of those words not crossing my screen before I'm through are about the same as somebody knocking off Duke in the NCAA tourney). While there may or may not be an answer as to what exactly a feg is (if indeed "feg" is a noun) the answer most certainly does NOT lie in the "explanation" on the fegmania sleeve. I say we come up with a suitable punishment for anyone who responds to a "what is a feg?" query by mentioning or posting the text from the album. How 'bout we strap the offending party to a chair, pry his eyes open and force him to watch horrible scenes of violence while listening to a dramatic reading of that text over and over until he pukes? - -rUss (the artist formerly known as Chad) So far the explanation that has come closest to ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Mar 1999 00:13:19 -0600 From: amadain Subject: Re: Seven Deadly Words (long, no RH, but curiously fascinating) >yeah, that's how i got interested in this subject. there are a lot of >myths about obscenity law, and station management tends not to tell people >(even at student-run stations) the difference between "illegal" and >"against station policy, which is written to avoid even the threat of >legal action". Again, I still can't find that dern station handbook, it's somewhere down in storage, so I can't say for certain. But as I recall it the handbook does NOT make a differentiation, tho it has been mentioned at various meetings and such that some things are the law and some are ass-covering. I thought (incorrectly) that that 10pm safe harbor start time was one of those. Although WHPK is a university station, it is a bit of a bastard stepchild and exists in a somewhat uneasy position with respect to the administration- things have been improving since a few years ago when the two were almost at daggers drawn, but this is still pretty much the feeling. There are various political reasons for this which really wouldn't interest anyone unless they went to UC :). Suffice it to say tho, that the operating budget is -very- minimal, and we CANNOT afford to have problems because the school might not want to help bail us out. There are signs all over the place like "Your signature in the operating book could save us $10,000 dollars, so PLEASE spare the five second effort", etc. >that doesn't mean it's not in the law somewhere. however, since we're >talking about the Supreme Court specifically allowing the FCC to restrict >rights granted by the 1st Amendment, i suspect they couldn't just slip >that in. You're probably right about that, now that I think of it, although the wording of the warning -is- a bit legalistic sounding. Still, I suppose they probably just consulted a lawyer about it and s/he came up with the idea. Up to now I had thought we were legally required to drop a warning every 30 mins or so. >strike the court as having neither musical merit nor any other value >except titillation, but very little music of commercial interest is >obscene. Where you run into trouble generally isn't with music, although frankly, if "Smack My Bitch Up" has artistic merit, it is woefully non-apparent to this listener :). The problem -tends- to be with comedy records, because it can be hard to prove that say, Andrew Dice Clay has redeeming importance. OTOH, the station ran into trouble with someone playing some Rudy Ray Moore awhile back, but that was from community groups and such like, not the FCC. Believe me, these people would have tried to get us in trouble with the FCC over it if they could have, so I assume they investigated and found they didn't have a case. >night. if this is true, it contradicts another popular DJ belief, that >DJs are never allowed to utter any dirty words whatsoever, even if the >same thing would be acceptable in a song at that time. As I understood the refraining from swearing was one of those cover your ass things that is standard station policy pretty much everywhere. One occasional dropped "Oh Shit!" is nothing, but if people start making a habit of swearing that could be a problem, so it's best just to tell them not to. Another thing that never bothered me that much because I don't really have any particular desire or need to say "fuck" on the air :). >could just turn off the radio, and focussed on the possibility of children >listening, who would probably just listen more carefully if they heard >such a warning. Part of the reason for the 10pm thing, obviously, but we all know children find ways to stay up past proscribed bedtimes and listen to the radio, among other things. So actually, I don't see the FCC as "the evil empire" here- I see them as being in an uncomfortable bind. They don't want to be restricting speech, and yet they also have to protect the kids a bit, not least because people will be screaming if they aren't at least perceived to be making an attempt in that direction. And frankly, I can see why it's needed- I really wouldn't want say, to discover my nine year old child has been listening to "Dolemite" ("Mommy, what's a pimp?").

You ought to get "Something Else" and "Face to Face" also. Up there with the two aforementioned Monkees albums as music that's quintessentially 60s. And your friends will all say it sounds like the Beatles.) The beach Boys: Today and Summer Days/Summer Nights are indispensible. (You can get them both on one CD through BMG) Friends is good, but it's very lightweight. (It's the most lightweight album I own, and that's saying something.) The Turtles: If you can get it cheap, get "Happy Together". It's not a real necessity, but it sounds good. They've got the Monkees sort of pop/bubblegum sound. Fever Tree: some of their songs were covered by This Mortal Coil. San Francisco-style distortion rock and slow psych-rock. (More straight-ahead than GD or Jeff. Airplane, but still interesting.) They're from Texas, though. Get the first album if you get anything. The Incredible String Band: Outright, the most psychedelic band I've ever heard. Folk music going twenty directions at once. None of it makes any sense at all but it's quite good. Get their late 60s material. Others: Donovan, Tintern Abbey, The Soft Machine, Pink Floyd...I'm sure that there are more, but I'm not by my record collection at the moment.
