It occurs to me that Tim has devoted a large amount of time and energy to supporting Robyn over the past 3 years, I suspect at the expense of his own career, and what has he got to show for it? A small number of credits on the new Hitchcock album - probably fewer than the sidemen who turned up to a week's sessions. And the fact that Homer have changed their name to Homer Lounge and then to Departure Lounge suggests to me that Tim is losing his sense of direction. Maybe he should get a grip on his own band and cut loose from Robyn. - - Mike Godwin ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 10:48:57 -0400 From: The Great Quail Subject: Re: Official QAPAlert Warning to Susan Susan asks, >One question: is there a QAP for Sword and Sorcery content?

Brick by Brick's a nice little club located right under the airport flight path - you can hear planes coming in for a landing during the quiet parts of songs. I've seen a number of terrific bands here, including Black Heart Procession, various Charlie Hunter groups, and Cibo Matto, as well as the infamous Ladybug Transistor/Of Montreal/Beulah show to which no one came. >ticketmaster says that sebadoh (listed as such, not mabd or the flaming >lips -- maybe sebadoh was doing a one-off that night?) on july 31 at brick >by brick in san diego has been cancelled. Well, the Pollstar site still lists Robyn and the Flaming Lips at Brick by Brick for that night, so I'm assuming that they were making a deal with the entire Revue. But, for some reason, the San Diego Reader only lists Sebadoh as well. I just called Brick by Brick, and it sounds like they've already booked a bunch of other bands for the 31st.

The Music Tapes are almost worth seeing for some of their on-stage gizmos - like giant clapping hands and singing aliens trapped within televisions. When I saw them, much of the act relied mainly on Julian's frightenly dull playing, with very little of the glorious Elephant 6 arrangments that so many of us have come to know and love - an occassional horn adding color, but that was about it. Until the last 2 songs, that is, when members of the Olivia Tremor Control joined the Music Tapes on stage...then things took a more interesting musical direction.

You've never heard of Boyd Rice? He'd be right up your street, in fact, I suspect he might even be at your doorstep. You've probably heard of some of the bands he has been involved with, Current 93, Death in June, and Coil. For some time he has been recording as "Non". The Ultimate Band List has him filed under Easy Listening, which I think is extremely hilarious. Come on people, have you actually heard these records? "Easy Listening for Iron Youth" is not exactly -easy listening- (except perhaps for people who find "Metal Machine Music" to be "too mellow"). Have a look at: http://www.brainwashed.com/non/info.html, that bio sums him up pretty well. Or if you're into finding out more about Industrial in general, the Re-Search book on Industrial Culture has a long section about him and others. He's a terrible prankster and it's very difficult to say how much of the "I am a Satanist AND a Nazi, woohoo!" stuff is genuine, and how much just about provoking people. There's evidence to suggest that the Nazi thing at least is in fact a great joke, and it's plain to see he gets a kick out of a certain frothing-at-the-mouth radio evangelist thinking he is Satan's incarnation on earth and thinks it great fun to encourage the guy to new heights of lunacy. Nevertheless, he still enjoys posing for pictures with members of the American Liberation Front -entirely- too much, if you ask me. That being said, I don't think he's anyone that the person on the street in general should be terribly frightened of, but if I were Marilyn Manson or Trent Reznor, I would keep a look out (Re-Search published a book of his "pranks", which are sometimes funny but border on the sociopathic on occasion), because I would venture to guess that he might not be that thrilled seeing them make millions of dollars by diluting his ideas.
