I see the typical feg as a swirl of bright colors, in a constant state of flux, evolving and taking on various shapes as I read the list, only to fall back again into the proto-soup to change yet again. Wierd dreams and stories, sounds and smells, are given off in the process, as well ideas - some terrific, some strange, but always interesting or at least entertaining. We are all influenced by each other when we meet - in mind if not in body. There is so much to the typical feg that it seems to defy exact description... Maybe a cartoon or a painting would do it more justice than words. If anyone does it, we should put it on the fegmaniax site, eh?

And I've had two Parliament LP's which also had cartoons of the group members. One was an undersea theme, the other was just extremely wierd and I don't have it anymore so I can't describe it in detail. But cartoons are not really unusual at all. And I agree - they have to come up with some other way to depict cover art on cd's without making us all go blind! She.Rex - ---------------- What is that - a blue one?

Now that you mention it that's about the only thing separating Robyn from Neil appearance wise. I say he should just grow 'em and get it over with.

PLEASANTVILLE This movie is not as good as the preview made it out to be. It was entertaining and somewhat amusing, but it's nothing special. It's just an average film I guess. The highlight for me was Fiona Apple's version of "Across the Universe" which was produced by Jon Brion. I never noticed what an incredible voice she has. It's a really great version of the song, and Fiona sounds wonderful singing it. PECKER Okay, this movie is great. Every character is so fucking weird. My favorites were the Mary-loving grandmother and the candy-inhaling little sister. I really laughed hard. Any movie with the line "pubic hair causes crime" has got to be good. It's starts off a little slow, but once it picks up, it's great. YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS This movie didn't impress me much. It was kind of boring. All the characters did was try to fuck each other, but they seemed to have trouble doing this. The movie is worth seeing though, but for only one reason: Jason Patric. He plays one of the biggest assholes I've seen on the screen in a long time. It's hilarious. What a dickhead. He definitely makes the movie worth watching.

Well, I read in the NY Times that Jim Carey has virtually BECOME Andy Kaufman for the role. Apparently, AK was his hero, so he went all out for this role. That in and of itself seems a fitting tribute. I am syked for the movie....Andy did a very brave form of performance art, sorta of like this britsh 'eccentric' singer-songwriter We've all heard a little bit about...:-) >Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 14:29:45 -0800 >From: Joel Mullins >Subject: Re: andy did you hear... > >David W.

And you watch wrestling?? I think I'd rather watch >shit-coms any day. Ahem. as a FegNeck I must defend sports entertainment. 1. Yes, of course it's fixed. How are they supposed to write out long involved plot lines if they don't know who's going to win a match or how? 2. It is Not a sport. It's it's own unique synthesis. I always comparae it to watching a Jackie Chan movie being filmed. Of course people aren't 'really' supposed to get hurt, but their charaters are. It is NOT a reflection of reality at all...unlike some sitcoms that get noticed for being "so much like real life", this stuff is NOT. It is an excuse to get out certain emotions by proxy. So, there's my defense of "body-slam theatre". feel free to fire away. now, on to Robyn news....anything else on "Jewels for Sophia" out yet? -luther ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 21:41:31 GMT From: dwdudic@erols.com (David W.

Queen Of Eyes I Thought I Heard NASA Clapping Ride The Speed Of Things notes: from Freeze through to Are You Experienced?, he was in full-on guitar god mode. easily the hardest-rocking section of songs since the reunion tour. Freeze was nothing short of deadly. the italian fans were just eating it up, too. his voice wasn't in its finest form. had trouble hitting the high notes on Cynthia Mask, for example. he said (and then repeated on the 13th) that DeChirico Street was written in bologna. that michele thought she actually saw a sign that read "dechirico st.", and that robyn merely thought it *looked* like a dechirico street. i thought i'd in the past heard some different explanation for the origin of the song. but maybe not. he introduced I've Got Nothing But Time saying, "this song is on piano," then proceeded to play it on acoustic. tease! Your Sign Language appears to be a brand new one. it could be a cover, but i'm doubting that pretty highly. i'll attempt to post the lyrics later, although it's going to be difficult, 'cause this song was smack in the middle of the ROCK STAR portion of the evening's entertainment. 2/13/99 Bloom, Mezzago [acoustic] Gene Hackman Arms Of Love Cheese Alarm I Something You Silver Dagger DeChirico Street Sally Was A Legend Beautiful Girl Glass Hotel I Dream Of Antwoman The Yip Song [electric] You And Oblivion Autumn Is Your Last Chance I Am Not Me Queen Of Eyes Kingdom Of Love Swirling [!] Freeze ENCORE Only The Stones Remain Queen Elvis The Lizard notes: this show was quite a bit more sedate than the bologna affair, though he did torque the energy level up for a few songs. paolo had the record-level set a bit too high, which is a shame because it was a damned fine show. when robyn's toured the continent in the past, he's usually stuck with quite similar setlists. but as we can see, such was not the case this time around, leastwise not for these two particular shows. according to "the asking tree", this is the first time Swirling has been performed since 3/1/92! absolutely beautifully, too. i'm wondering what the record is for longest gap between performances of a given song? heh heh, is there a way to ask robynbase to search for that, john? The Lizard was stunning. and *then* he tacked a monster Freezesque guitar solo onto the end of it! wow! well, that's the upside. the downside is, now that i've had a taste, i NEED to hear the rest of the songs from this tour! anybody got any leads? by the way, i'm way behind on answering personal mail, including to some fegs. for which, i apologise. which is not to say that i'm likely to get caught up in the very near future. oh, while i'm here, let me pass along kind of a funny story. one weird thing about waiting tables is that you hear snippets of conversations. so yesterday there was a guy and a girl eating lunch. i passed by the table as she was saying, "...uhhhh...prophylactic!" to which he answered: "ah hah!" then she continued, "isn't that what they're called?" then he, "yup!" that was all i heard, and i didn't stop to ask for any context. anyways, it probably would've turned out to be something totally boring. http://leb.net/iac/ "As we often see in US foreign policy, other nations' attempts to defend themselves from US attacks are defined as aggression." --Jake Sexton Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 14:52:21 -0800 From: Eb Subject: Re: the a&m years -- an in depth analysis Darn it.

It was >entertaining and somewhat amusing, but it's nothing special. It's just >an average film I guess. I haven't seen "Pleasantville", so I can't comment, but if you put "Wag The Dog" in that sentence it would work for me :). I saw "Bulworth" last night, and I have to say- this one didn't get as good reviews overall as "Wag The Dog", but it's a lot funnier and a lot less self-conscious. A little sentimental, and of course, there's that 50 year old guy getting the 25 year old girl thing which is always sort of annoying, but it's actually done with a sense of humor. Warren Beatty was really believable as the character, one of the best comic performances I've seen in a long long time. I can't think of any one of his peers who could (or would) try to pull off a role like that. Very few of Hollywood's "eminence grises" would be so willing to be so entertainingly uncool on screen, methinks. My hat's off to the guy and I'm really looking forward to seeing whatever he does next.

The game codified at Cambridge University in 1848 (Year Of Revolutions) is the one true way. 'Boring' is four hours of stop-start-human-crustacean-warfare with only Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at half-time to cheer things up. OK, that might sound a trifle aggressive as an opener. I'll try again. I can, I think, claim the longest allegiance here to RH. (Oh god, I'm sounding aggressive again) . I bought Underwater Moonlight about a month after it's release. I heard Kingdom Of Love being played on the in-house system at Cambridge's legendary Andy's Records, and my jaw hit the floor. As a 17 year old into Kinks, Small Faces etc. as well as Costello, other Stiff artists et al, I was amazed at the way this track seemed to meld all the kinds of music I loved. I snapped it up on the spot. But, much to my later chagrin, I couldn't get my head around the Can Of Bees LP which the shop assistant immediately slapped on the turntable with the zeal of a missionary preaching to a new convert. This is getting long. I have quite a lot to say about Half Man Half Biscuit references (especially their Un-American Football obsession), but for the moment will merely express my surprise that Mike Godwin didn't know that Hedley Verity was a Yorkshire and England cricketer: 144 Test wickets at 24.37. Finally, it is very easy to link Dave Mattacks and Robyn. Kimberley Rew is releasing a solo album later this year on which Mattacks plays drums and Mr H makes a guest appearance. I'm afraid you're going to hear a lot more from me now I've got the taste for it. I hope I've got something to add to an already fascinating forum. jmbc ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Mar 1999 11:03:37 -0500 From: cinders blue Subject: storefront hitchcock fegs, i met up with fellow-feg ferris and his sister last night to catch the showing of storefront hitchcock at trinity college. this was the second time seeing the film and, as they usually are, second viewings are interesting since you notice things you missed and don't notice other things as much. excepting the rant about religion, i didn't remember most of the between-song banter so that remained entertaining. i had also forgotten that there are a few differences in setlist between the movie and the soundtracks, so the songs were good too. over repeated viewings, i think the view of the street may grow tired as it could distract from the performance but, this time anyways, i was still laughed at the guy holding up the poster and checking his watch and chuckled at tim keegan's cameo. there are some priceless moments in the film -- the most striking is during the guitar solo in "i'm only you" where robyn is so engrossed in playing that, for those few minutes, he becomes completely unaware of the camera and is totally natural. i was still unnerved by robyn's hyperawareness of the camera, but that didn't bug me as much this time and i also started to think that it may have been intentional (if it wasn't, why would they keep those shots in the film?) the shots where you can see deni and tim reacting to robyn's introductions are also really nice -- deni's open-mouthed laugh is foiled nicely by tim's grin. one last observation: he sure looked a lot like jay leno back then. woj n.p. sunday baroque ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Mar 1999 11:16:18 -0500 From: cinders blue Subject: Re: Here's a CD I've never heard of MC 900 Ft Russ Reynolds rapped: >>Promotional CD from A&M Records featuring: this compilation is titled _if we give you this cd, will you be our best friend?_. it's a a&m records promotional compilation that was given away at, among other places no doubt, the showcase the egyptians did at tramps in new york on 12 september 1991. strangely, the compilation is not in robynbase so here are the details... if we give you this cd, will you be our best friend? a&m records 75021 7239 2 (c) 1991 >ROBYN HITCHCOCK AND THE EGYPTIANS >So You Think You're In Love 2:34 >Watch Your Intelligence 4:22 woj ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Mar 1999 15:20:05 -0500 (EST) From: Bayard Subject: Mattacks attacks! > OK, that might sound a trifle aggressive as an opener.

You'll know doubt fit in well, as there are many others here who use their initials (and various other bogus identifiers.) However, I must correct you: there are (or have been) venerable listmembers who saw Mr. H as far back as the Maureen & the Meatpackers (The Worst Fears) days. That would be ca. 1974.
