I am curious if anyone on the list can whet my appetite while I await their UPS delivery--I've read a couple of RayH's WWII thrillers, Attack the Lusitania and the Canaris Legacy, both just kinda clever Alistair MacLean ripoffs--sure, better than say Ken Follett, but talk about aiming low... All I know of these two is that Venus 13 was described by one bookseller as a "sex in space romp" (so maybe an precursor of Rudy Rucker's early books! or maybe, ugh, Heinleinesque...) and Percy, of course, later made into a infamous movie starring Hywel Benett and Elke Sommer, with a beautiful soundtrack by the Kinks that disagreed at heart with the theme of the movie. Anyone ever seen that movie? I've requested it at local vid stores, no sign of it yet. And has anyone read either of these books? or the book of SF short stories Robyn has said his dad wrote, but for which I can find no detail? dave PS I've got a local theater, Facets Multimedia (on Susan's suggestion) looking into booking information for Storefront.

(No, really, he said something like that!) Rather than suggest a cd since I know almost all of RHs records have one or two songs that just don't work, especially for a first time listener (you all know what I mean), I made a compilation tape. I am interested if anyone else has made a tape for someone and what the combo of songs was on their compilation. I had a 90 minute tape and lots of stuff didn't make the cut and some of this is pretty mainstream but it's for a first time listener. Keep in mind on vinyl, casette and cd, I still do not have a complete Robyn collection, missing such things as BSDR and that BBC release as well as most of the vinyl releases like Mossy Liquor ( tho' maybe I should do something about that). I was aiming for a nice broad spectrum both in style and in date: A Globe of Frogs Wreck of the Arthur Lee The Moon Inside The President Egyptian Cream Ultra Unbelievable Love Vegetation and Dimes (call this toll-free number, 1-800-REAPER, ask for Dean) DeChirico Street Winchester Madonna of the Wasps When I was Dead My Favorite Buildings B The Devils Radio Linctus House Raining Twilight Coast Raymond Chandler Evening If You Go Away Sinister But She Was Happy Cynthia Mask Serpent at the Gates of Wisdom Man with a Womans Shadow 1974 (from Storefront) This Is How It Feels Looking for feedback.

Someone standing over me suggests that perhaps he had been using it as a muscle-rub of sorts to desensitize his arm and threw too hard too many times because of it? I don't know the brand in question, but really all this sort of stuff is is a cream or a gel with something in it akin to novocaine, benzocaine maybe, I don't remember what they use in them offhand. It's not all -that- different from Flexall or whatever. By itself it doesn't have any serious medical effects. Certainly it stretches the imagination pretty far to imply that the application of this stuff alone would cause a hernia! I suspect what's really going on here is that overextending ones' desensitized self in carnal revels is a much more uber-manly excuse to give than "I was helping Aunt Gladys move" :).

(although one could argue that clinton, because he's a "democrat", has been able to get away with things that a "republican" never could have. welfare "reform", nafta, headwaters, are some striking examples.) if someone had put a gun to my head and said, "vote for either clinton or dole" i'd have voted for dole. but only because he would have been MARGINALLY not as horrible. and certainly voting isn't any sort of substitute for actually DOING something. just to add one more quick, crude illustration, who were the presidents that got us into the major wars of this century? wwi -- wilson, democrat wwii -- roosevelt, democrat korea -- truman, democrat vietnam -- kennedy, democrat gulf war -- bush, republican balkans -- clinton, democrat (and it should probably be added that it was under carter, democrat, that the arms buildup of the 80's which is commonly attributed to reagan was actually begun, and that the brutal repression in central america was begun with carter's approval as well.) brother, you *really* don't want to know what i spew upon my friends (although i'll give you a hint: Tang is involved, on most occasions.) speaking only for myself, i do not consider Vegetable Man, Strange, Only The Stones Remain, Where Are The Prawns?, Dreams, Black Snake Diamond Rock, There's Nobody Like You, Song No. 4 "crap." i consider them bloody brilliant, and i'm ecstatic that they're not only on cd, but all tacked onto the end of the same album whose singles they were b-sides of. (oh, i know that's not *completely* correct for every reissue. but they *are* always songs from the same period.)

In Eddies' defense, not that he needs one, I sorta felt compelled to say that- A) It's quite possible to like someone's partner and still have a sexual/romantic relationship with that person. Not everyone does the strict monogamy thang. It pretty much depends on how the parties in question have their relationship set up. I'm assuming tho that this is a monogamous marriage, hence Joel's comment.

Some of you don't like the bonus tracks >stuck in with a re-release, or don't like all of the tracks in a >new release. Can't you just skip them, or stop the CD when it >hits the dreaded "bonus" track section? Honestly!!! Well, I think that this excerpt fairly well summarizes Russ's fine post, so I'll just work off of this. If I've suppressed any key points, a thousand pardons. For the most part, I agree with Russ. I *like* getting lots of weird and potentially disposable material. When it comes to albums, Too Much Is Always Better Than Not Enough. And especially when it comes to Robyn H. I don't listen to all of the more out-there stuff every day, certainly, but as far as Robyn's stuff is concerned the more whacked-out and unnecessary, the better. You'll pry my special disco remix of Kingdom of Love out of my cold, dead, mouldering fingers. And if stuff does wear on me, it really *is* easy to skip it. However, being 24 years old, my interest in music, and music collectorship in particular has overlapped almost entirely with life of the compact disc format. When I first started listening to music (other than radio) it was almost exclusively on tapes. When I had my great awakening to genres other than top 40 ("alternative" as it was then known, and I like to think that the label might have still meant something at that point) cd's were readily available. But being as I was a broke high school student, the prospect of getting 4 or 5 used albums on vinyl for the price of a new one on cd had no small amount of appeal. So in spite of my late arrival status, I have/had the smallest glimpse of life before the convenience that a cd's long running time and random access afford modern listeners. When I compare my listening experiences in the analog formats (especially vinyl) to those I that have now when listening to cds, I wonder if the translation from the former to the latter is not 100%. By this I'm not referring to any flaws in the sound or anything like that, but to the total experience of listening to an album. For my part, given the ease of programming a cd player, or in simply reaching down and hitting the >>| button on my discman, I find that, quite often, I don't listen to the album as it was put together by the artist. How much of what the artist is trying to say with the album as a whole is contained not only in the selection of tracks, but in their running order as well? How do the twin advantages of long running time and random access affect the listening experience? The most glaring example of the experience of listening to vinyl as opposed to cd for me is Sgt. Pepper. Not that I would ever deign to skip a track of that album, even when listening to the cd. But when hearing it on vinyl, the vaudeville show motif seems so much more pronounced. The lovely melodrama of She's Leaving Home followed by Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite is the perfect climax to the first side, and getting up to flip the record is, as Dolph points out, a pleasure -- and in this context, it *feels* like an intermission. Then, when the second side begins, the audience barely settles into their seats, and bang! Within You Without You. Granted, not every piece of vinyl exhibits the mastery of construction and self awareness of Sgt. Pepper, but I feel that I might be losing something by not giving the artist's instincts credit and letting the "weaker" songs grow into their surroundings, as opposed to simply skipping over them (as I can do with a cd.) Someone railed against Greatest Hits packages in a recent post, and this tendency (which, again, I am as "guilty" of as anyone) to just dispose of the tracks that don't immediately ingratiate themselves seems to come from a similar place. I think that in doing this (or worse, playing it on "shuffle" mode), we have a tendency to reduce albums to simple collections of songs. Inversely, take an album from the digital age, and consider it on vinyl. An example near at hand for me here is Mermaid Avenue. Imagine the first side ending on Ingrid Bergman, with Sad and Lonely just before it. When I think about it, this seems like a really great place for a side break, actually! The first side of the album is then: Walt Whitman California Stars Minor Key Birds and Ships Hoodoo Voodoo She Came Along Sad and Lonely Ingrid Bergman Which has a really nice sort of evolution to it. The album announces its arrival with Whitman, gets into some real emotional meat with the Stars-Key-Ships cycle, and then bursts forth with Hoodoo and Came Along, ending on a sentimental note with Sad and Bergman. I think that I might actually really get into Hoodoo Voodoo if it was the exhuberant high point of the first side of the album, as opposed to simply being track number five. Then the first song on the second side is Christ For President and I Guess I Planted, which gets things started again perfectly. The point is, some great tracks that (for me) get lost in the middle of the album are suddenly given new importance in the evolving drama of the album, simply by splitting it into two parts. And of course, if one re-assigns the track order wholesale (as one can do on cd), then you lose even more. - -Michael Wolfe np: Mermaid Avenue ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 5 Apr 1999 16:43:36 -0800 From: Eb Subject: totally self-indulgent question What's a dependably good wedding gift for an unregistered couple, where you've never even met the bride?

Trams of Old London Crystal Ship (Doors) All Tomorrow's Parties (Velvets) Ye Sleeping Knights of Jesus (!!) I Feel Beautiful Antwoman We Are The Underneath At this point Robyn and co. retired, claiming they would go backstage to drink, but saying a REALY special guest would be showing up shortly (causing a mock indignant expression from Grant). Speculation ran rampant, as you'd imagine, until Flanagan appeared and introduced Neil Finn. Neil played a short (but lovely) set, mostly of fairly obscure songs. One of them he said his 3-year-old son collaborated with him on; one other he'd never before done on stage. A wonderful little interlude. Robyn, Grant, and Jon came back out, and Neil announced that he was going to do something he'd always wanted to do... play the drums. Which he did for the rest of the night. Visions of Johanna I Got A Feeling 909 Don't Let Me Down Wipeout Country Rose (?) She Said Arnold Layne Sound & Vision All You Need Is Love Soul Kitchen After a couple of songs, Neil protested that he wasn't really qualified on drums. The others responded with some laudatory words, and launched into Wipeout. Heh. Neil was fine back there, at least until "All You Need Is Love," which turned out to be a tad more complicated than he'd realized. Still, another memorable night at Largo. Viva Sea-Tac had a different ending this time, which sounded like a lot of ad-libbing. Devil Mask was a shocker, as was Sleeping Knights. When Robyn, Grant, and Jon get going on their rock songs, it's really something special; I wish they did more of Robyn's tunes like that than just the few that concluded the first set. One more thing: Robyn looked pretty worn out most of the night, and seemed to drink a lot. It looked like he had an awful lot of wine on stage (for that matter, I counted four Guinnesses consumed by Jon while performing). After the show, some Fegs waited around for a chance to talk to him or get autographs, and were told he wouldn't be coming out; he was too exhausted. In any case, it was good to see a bunch of LA Fegs, Julie, Peter, Marc, kototh, as well as the ubiquitous pseudo-Feg Dan Poppe.
