I just got back from the Apples in Stereo/Beulah concert. I'm tired, deaf, and I think I just set back the healing of my sprained foot by a month, so I'll try to make this short. Before the show: I approached the venue (the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, a decent place to see a show) and saw a group of 30-somethings that included a suspicious balding guy with horn-rimmed glasses. Could it be...? But they all went around back before I had the nerve to ask. I waited for my friend. A guy tried to pick me up and was escorted gently away by the bouncers. Mr. Balding-Bespectacled (in a Dressy Bessy T-shirt) returned and I asked him very nervously if he was Robert Schneider. He was, and Thoth exchange occured. I gabbled something about how I loved his music and production, etc. "I've given Thoths to Andy Partridge and Robyn Hitchcock..." "And now me? Wow!" he said. He said he "loved the Egyptians" but I wasn't sure if he was referring to Morris and Andy or to the people who lived by the Nile. (Incidentally, he does that shoulder-touch thing that Wayne Coyne did to Eddie. I didn't mind.) The venue soon filled with hipsters and Beulah went on. They were a little rusty and Miles Kurosky, the sharp-featured singer, did not seem happy, although all the other members were smiling (perhaps amused at the off-key vocals). They played a lot of stuff from what I presume was their first album, since I didn't recognize it - not bad, but not as good as their new material. I guess it's impossible to reproduce the complexity of the new stuff on stage, but they did a reasonably good job with the numbers they did perform (including my absolute favorite, "The Ballad of the Lonely Argonaut" - yeah!). One band member did the versatile multi-instrumentalist thing (obligatory for all E6 bands), switching back and forth between guitar, trumpet, keyboards, and bongoes (!), and it worked out OK. But they've probably had better nights. Mr. Kurosky was so overwhelmed by his Thoth that I began to worry about his mental health. "It's just tinfoil," I protested, wondering if he was joking. I'm not sure if he was or not, but he did mention that he had eaten at an infamous local greasy spoon earlier that day, which may have affected his mind. Anyway, I hope I cheered him up. The Apples hit the stage and rocked. In fact, they rocked hard. As Beulah work better as a studio band, so the Apples work better as a live band - they're much more scruffy around the edges, which dulls their tendency towards being overly cute. Hilarie soon-to-be-Schneider is a totally kick ass drummer and I was in awe of her might. Rob Schneider does funny "guitar faces" when he solos (eyes squeezed shut, tongue protruding slightly). They did mostly recent stuff, plus a Beach Boys cover (claiming it was by Primus) and an impromptu rendition of Van Halen's "Eruption" to fill time while the other guitarist fixed a string. As an encore, they did "Tidal Wave" from their first album while one of the Beulah keyboardists (in a cowboy hat) danced insanely in the audience. Anyway, that was the show. Go see 'em when they hit your town. n. p.s. Thanks for all the song suggestions! I'm gonna write them all down and go over to the station to see which ones we have.

Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 13:04:22 -0400 (EDT) My radio show next week is falling on the pagan holiday of Lughnasa (August 1), and I wanted to play songs to celebrate the occasion. Lughnasa honors the Irish god of craft and skill, Lugh (pronounced "Lou"), who was also the god of fire and light. Lughnasa is the feast of the first harvest and is generally associated with corn and wheat (and therefore bread and alcohol). So what music would be appropriate for my show? Since Lughnasa is an Irish holiday, I'd play Irish traditional music, the Pogues, and Van Morrison. For the corn theme, I'd play that bit from Firesign Theater ("Corn? Now we can make tortillas!"). But what else? I was thinking "Harvest Festival," but it's a little too early in the year for that. Songs about fire? Songs about beer? (There'd be plenty of those...) Unfortunately (as I recently complained to the Quail), much neo-pagan music is pretty awful, so I'm leaving that out of my considerations. Any other suggestions would be welcome. Thanks. n. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

The new reader has a long essay on Robyn by JR Jones--it's actually listed on the cover. it's an interesting take on Robyn's obscurity, and how he feels Deeme actually filmed the movie to accentuate that obscurity rather than boost his career (like he did with Talking Heads). I'm not posting it, primarily because I can't find it on the website --it's not in Music or Film as far as I can tell, and it's in the first section--though anyone online can find a less interesting but more positive short review by Lisa Alspector. The Jones piece has some interesting points about Robyn's career that I might type on next week if nobody has found it. It doesn't slam the movie, but neither does it make non-fegs feel like they must rush to see it. There is an interesting quote from Charles Coleman, the booker I had talked to, about how impossible it was for him to get support from Warner Bros./Orion for the film once he'd decided to book it--no trailer, no posters, etc. There's also a quote that if this album doesn't do well, Robyn's time at WB may be over--which might explain why he's doing this tour to expand his fanbase. tha's all for now, I look forward to seeing the movie (hope Facets has air conditioning!). slong, dave ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jul 1999 14:23:02 EDT From: DDerosa5@aol.com Subject: Robyn quote from Trib review of SH Robyn is asked to assess SH, and says, "It's a good document of what I do.

I once wrote a short story where reality and the narrator's perspective were quite different from one another. The conflicts were noted by restatements of "fact" in parentheses. When I was called to read it at the Linnfield Writer's Conference, I didn't know what to do because it's very much a work to be read than to hear. My singular literary device didn't translate well to the world of the spoken word. So I had my friend Erika stand behind me while I sat in a chair and read. She spoke only the parenthetical bits and gave good contrast to my narrative. I'm thinking JH3's piece needs a similar treatment to prevent confusion when it's read aloud.
