OK, "Austin Powers 2" rocked. My face hurt from laughing. The only parts I didn't like was when they reiterated jokes from the first film (e.g. the "Shh!" bit). Nice to see a cameo from the Creator of the Universe, even though in 1969 he would have been about fifteen years old. But Basil Exposition told me not to worry, so I didn't. My Nick Drake tribute show went really well (apart from the inevitable technical glitches). Thanks so much to the feg who sent "I Saw Nick Drake." A beautiful song, and I'm sorry it's not going to turn up on "Jewels for Sophia." I was ably assisted by my volunteer sidekick Andy, who turned up at the studio even though he'd been up all night, and brought original vinyl copies of "Pink Moon" and "Bryter Layter" (ooohhh!). Andy should be a feg, but he isn't. Oh, and I found out that the Swans, of all people, do a killer Velvet Underground-esque cover of "Black-Eyed Dog," with lots of screaming. Cool. Welcome to the new fegs. Please, just ignore that stuff on the carpet - we've tried to get it out, but it won't go - and just move that big stack of Surreal Posse posts there on the couch - there you go, that's right - and don't mind Eb, he won't really do anything to you (since he's the King Bee, if he actually stings someone, he'll pull his guts out along with the stinger and die). Oh, and I hope you remembered to bring some birdseed for the Quail. n. p.s. The new Cibo Matto album is great. You gotta admire someone who rhymes her name (Miko Hatori) with "Purgatory." p.p.s. Did I already second Michael's Beulah recommendation? I'll do it again. "When Your Heartstrings Break" kicks ass.

The songs include things like 'Leppo and the Jooves', which isn't on the GLTHO LP. But it's not a straight concert video by any means. The concert is interspersed with a number of studio recordings accompanied by wacky film clips, including 'Man with the lightbulb head' (awesome courtship dance of two anglepoise lamps, plus unforgettable images of Robyn walking around with a lampshade over his head), 'I often dream of trains' (film of Robyn in trains); 'America' (speeded up film of America); and 'Surgery' (close-up of Robyn's lips moving).

Thanks to J. Brelin, Bayard, Vivien, Michael Godwin, Doug, and Mike Runion, I am now a fully informed consumer! In other news: I saw Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power, and MAcha at the 40 Watt on Sat. Jeff Mangum was there but didn't get on stage (as he often does with Elf Power) and I was told that Neutral Milk are still together, just doing their own things for now. I was hoping at least Jeff would play at the upcoming Merge 10 year reunion (the Music Tapes are playing), but at this point there are no official plans for him to. I recall seeing Jeff play solo acoustic a few years ago and it was really intense. Elf Power were good (not great IMO)--they extened their songs to 5 or 6 minutes and had a bunch of people playing things on stage. At times it worked; at others it sounded muddled and just went on and on. I think they do best with short, upbeat, and concise tunes. Macha were impressive . Kind of put me in a trance now and then, but it was a good trance. They take the whole multi-instrumental thing several steps further. I like how serious they are about performing and getting the songs across live. OTC. No comment, as I left before they played. I've seen them live enough and my wife and I were ready to head home after Macha ended at 1:00 am. I gotta get off-line now. (That almost sounded obscene) I've got to get my phone lines clear to hear back about my car. It needs at least 1 new front axle (Acuras have 2 front axles). Its getting looked at by this local mechanic who is basically the non-fictional version of Karl (in Sling Blade). He knows what he's doing on cars, charges incredibly cheap labor (he once spent a few hours checking out an electrical problem and the bill came to $9.10 for labor), but he's none to communicative or patient with customers . . .

Well, in this case, that's pretty much the story. After spending my youth in beautiful suburban Los Angeles (Torrance), I was forced in my high school years into Deli labor in a small hick town not too far north of the "Cuesta Grade" (chuckle). For a couple of years in a row, Huey Lewis and his News played at the mid-state fair ("The BIGGEST little fair anywhere!") in El Paso de Robles. Before the show, Huey Lewis and a few of the News-es would ride around town on motorcycles. Mr. Lewis stopped in one time, and ordered a sandwich from me. No, I don't remember what he ordered. That's about it. He did ask me if I was going to go see Huey Lewis and the News at the fair that year, and I acted like I didn't recognize him and told him, "nah, I saw 'em last year." Much earlier starfucking experiences included John Travolta waving at me at Mammoth Mountain (I also said "Hey Horshack" to the guy that played Epstein that same day), and getting Billy Barty's autograph and an IHoP in Hollywood. - --Jasonocratic np: David Bowie, "Tonight" PS: I'll spare everybody from posting the setlist of the band that played at the wedding I went to yesterday in San Juan Capistrano. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 09:05:23 -0700 From: "Jason R.

When I lived in El Paso de Robles (well, actually 15 miles out of town, very near Lake Nacimiento and Hearst Castle), there were tons (flocks, herds, pods?) of these...THINGS...these California quail...running around wild on our property. They were always milling about, and running out in front of our cars...and always staring at me through my bedroom window. One year, our property was completely overrun by caterpillars. They completely carpeted our outdoor cement walkways, and covered the outside of our house like squirming black and orange ivy. Each day, we would wash millions of these creepy crawly things away with hoses, but a godzillion more would be there the next morning. The quail never helped.

I have just read the sequel 'The Subtle Knife', and it doesn't come up to the same standard. There are too many alternative worlds (3), too many undifferentiated gangs of goodies and baddies, and the hero's father, for whom he has been searching all the way through the book, is bumped off quite casually towards the end (oops, given a bit of plot away there). The scenes featuring the Will, who comes from normal Oxford, and the heroine of the last book, Lyra, who comes from an alternative Oxford, are quite well done, but there are just too many miscellaneous chapters with spectres eating one lot of people and witches chasing some other lot of people and Texan balloonists looking wry. - - Mike Godwin ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 13:22:07 -0700 From: Joel Mullins Subject: "Falwell's the Devil!" *** Falwell paper knocks concert name ROANOKE, Va. (AP) - The Rev. Jerry Falwell's newspaper, which previously claimed a popular "Teletubbies" character is a gay role model, now asserts that the all-female Lilith Fair concert tour is named for a demon. More than 800,000 people attended the summer concert series last year. The third and final tour begins July 8 and features artists including Sheryl Crow, The Dixie Chicks and Queen Latifah. "Many young people no doubt attend the Lilith Fair concerts not knowing the demonic legend of the mystical woman whose name the series manifests," says the Parents Alert column in the June issue of National Liberty Journal. According to ancient Jewish literature, Lilith was created by God as Adam's first wife, but left Eden after refusing to be submissive to Adam.

To break that many international law paragraphs can only be justified if you are above the law, in a direct relation to a God of the universe who "created America to bring order to the world" (Colin Powell) or, in more secular terms, "a global nation with global interests" (Shalikashvili).
