Some of you may remember me ...or not... but I was on this list way back in '97. It's been awhile, and I just thought I'd come back & see what was going on, and who was still here. :) I'm searching for music, as per usual. I have the Glass Flesh album, but haven't there been other compilation/cover albums? I'd like to get copies(?) of all of them somehow--originals or not. I'm also looking for the Brenda of the Lightbulb Eyes video (and any others that may be lurking about). I bid on one on Ebay, but got outbid, and I'm too cheap to bid any higher. ;) For any/all of these, I will gladly provide tapes to dub onto, or reimburse whomever for their tapes, as well as shipping. Natch, this assumes that Fegs still don't ask extra $$ for copies. I've also scads of music myself, that I'd be willing to dub for Okay okay, so it's a shameless beg-fest. I haven't had any new Robyn for over a year. I'm sure that this will be better appreciated off-channel, so if you've got what I'm looking for, or looking for what I've got, please reply! thanks, LSDiamond Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Apr 1999 18:32:06 -0700 From: "Partridge, John" Subject: RE: sundry and various > As for me, I'm wondering what happened to sci-fi films that > WEREN'T action > films.

Attn Baltimore/Washington/Annapolis Robyn fans- A while back I was thinking of trying to organize a Robyn-tribute concert thing. (What the hell, if there are Motley Crue tribute shows, surely Robyn deserves one.) I am thinking of organizing it in conjunction with the Richard Thompson list---they did a project called "Little Blue Numbers" which was similar to our "Glass Flesh.". I am still thinking about doing this RH/RT night of fan bands...Sorta a "British folk-pop' thing. possible venues: Baldwins in Sykesville- a little outta the way, but its a neat old restored train station that is very folk approved. Cacao Lane on Main St. in Ellicott City I had set a gig for my band on July 24th It is low ceiling- acoustic unamplified-70 person room. ` My electric band would be too much for the place, i think- but a bunch of folkies taking turns might work out nicely! Cafe Gurus in Eastport Annapolis My number one choice- a Great little coffeeshop that has a very nice room. Andy’s (in Chestertown, on the Eastern Shore) I went to school in C-town. Andy's is a wonderful place for the 'truely over 21' (as opposed to the fake-ID set ;-0) to enjoy a beer and take in folky stuff. So, there are my suggestions. Anyone else in RH/RT-fandom that might be interested? -luther ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Apr 1999 19:32:55 -0700 From: Mark_Gloster@3com.com Subject: Re: an idea show...

I meant home videos. And last I heard, Storefront Hitchcock was going to be released on home video. It's supposed to have a different track listing than both the LP and CD.

Most people thought it was dandruff or fallout from nuclear tests, washed their hair and vegetables, and paid it little heed. But in a small Lutheran-Mithristic enclave village in the eastern US, the right conditions for germination were found in the backyard of Mr. and Mrs. Quail. On that cool foggy morning they looked out and saw a small, spider-covered fungal growth. The neighbor's cat passed by, the growth sniffed and sneezed, and The Great Quail was expectorated upon an unsuspecting world. IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN...

By me, no less! well, for me, there are - I first heard the album (and loved it to bits for years) in its single LP form, with the different track listing that that entails (including the final neplusultra of "All of a sudden"). The other tracks (Nearly Africa, Leisure, Fly on the wall, etc) always seem like bonus tracks to me, and really grate (especially Leisure, which I've never thought much of as a song). So, I do what I do with other CDs. I program them out, and if I want to hear them, I listen to them separately. And that's the point with bonus tracks. You have that option. Without which, I'd never have heard the wonderful version of "Raymond Chandler Evening" with the smoky sax break, The black crow knows, or any of the other great bonus tracks that I've heard over the years. What gets me, though, is the artists who think "oh, let's be reealy witty and put a bit of meaningless noise twelve minutes into this track!". Stuffs up random play completely. As to random play, I've found another use for it - burglar deterrent. When I go out and leave the house empty, I often put a CD on random repeat, just loud enough to be heard faintly outside. It makes the house seem occupied. ObRH - ever noticed that many of Robyn's songs that have death as a subject have drowning as the form of death? It's even implied in "My Wife and My Dead Wife" whereas IIRC that was not the form of death in the movie the song was based on...

And I'm going to put out my song "Music from the Motion Picture" as a single or EP just so that people see "The Modern Lizard Quartet: Music from the Motion Picture" and think that we're a movie instead of a band.

I can't remember who did it now, but a few months back, I heard an instrumental disc (I think it was something from the arty Touch & Go milieu) where the track titles served no purpose but to complete a sentence, when lined up sequentially. IE, 1. I Just Went 2. To The Store And 3. Bought Some 4. Zucchini and Feathers, But 5. They Were Out 6. Of Toothpaste I thought that was a cute idea. Anyone remember who this was? Seems like the album jacket was orange-ish. Probably one of those pretentious math-rock groups whom I roll my eyes at, but whom others worship. It wasn't Trans Am, but something similar, I think? Speaking of Chicago-based labels and Thrill Jockey, I got the first Lonesome Organist album (Collector of Cactus Echo Bags) today. Woo! And since there are a surprising number of Organist fans on the list, let me tell ya: I like this album, but the new one is definitely better. So keep your eyes peeled for it, when it arrives in stores. (The new one is less guitarsy/white-trash/Tom Waitsy than the debut, and more centered on loony keyboard instrumentals. So I prefer it, personally. Your mileage may vary.) Regarding bonus tracks, I almost always vote thumbs up, but I do like it when 15-20 seconds are left between the final album track and the bonus material (Ryko employs this tactic quite nicely).

Angst-y girl rock has been around for years. Sure, S-K do it well, but what's so special about them? And why on earth should S-K be praised because they don't sound like other Riot Grrl bands? I didn't even know they were a Riot Grrl band, nor do I particularly care. I don't think S-K are bad, by any means. But the hype... man, I don't get that.

This is particularly true of double-albums with a plotline or a concept behind them. This came to mind when I was listening to my vinyl edition of THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY this morning. That one, of course, is particularly obtuse, and to my mind it benefits from having 3 intermissions. However, particularly on live double-albums, I think 20-minute chunks can make it too choppy. If the point is to create the illusion of a concert, then I feel like it ought to be taken whole. My example: I much prefer listening to my 110-minute cassette dub of the 2LP STOREFRONT HITCHCOCK than listening to the LPs a side at a time. And some things just work any old way, like the Beatles' white album (during which, in any format, you get at least one intermission anyway). Or TROUT MASK REPLICA... maybe that one would be better broken up. One 79-minute CD of music like that is quite a workout, I rarely make it in one sitting. blahblahblah Dolph np in actuality: Jeremy Enigk, "Explain" np in the fictional what-if? jukebox in my head: Even Eb, "Evenflow" (ba-dump-ching! thank you thank you I'll be here all week...) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Apr 1999 09:04:48 -0700 From: Mark_Gloster@3com.com Subject: Re: more bitching about Sleater-Kinney >Foxhole foxhole >Too much danger >Foxhole foxhole >Where's my guardian angel?

Well, first, you do know that "Foxhole" is off the second album, not the more heralded debut, right? It seems like you're listening to Television in a singer-songwriter context, when you should be listening to them more for textural guitar-duelling and jagged rhythmic muscle.
