You are, quite simply, amazing. A God amongst us mere mortals. Do wanders down Haight Street at 2 in the afternoon before the evening show with a guitar strumming and singing count as appearances? If so they were pretty common in SF in the late 80s/early 90s. I can probably get the years for you. I suggest you get some roomates together and go out on the front lawn and strip down to your shorts and play football.

I completely disagree. Bayard is the devil! Last week, I wasted several hours playing around on RobynBase. And this is the last few weeks of my last semester in college. Now, I'm starting to turn in papers late and my grades are slacking. And yes, it's all Bayard's fault. Furthermore, looking through RobynBase makes me want to beg Eddie for a shitload of tapes and then start making CDs of "Robyn Plays the Beatles" and "Robyn Plays VU" or "Robyn Plays Dylan." I'm supposed to finishing up school and looking for a job. But RobynBase is just so good, it's evil. - --Joel ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 19:12:14 -0800 From: "Russ Reynolds" Subject: snowballs >>I also wish to add that, in no way, do I condone the throwing of snow >>balls at anyone affiliated with the Oakland Raiders organization . . . >>well, except Al Davis. > >At least we agree that Al Davis deserves (at least) a snowball to the >'nads. ...and please put a rock in it on behalf of those of us who pay taxes in Alameda county. - -rUss ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 19:54:57 -0800 From: "Russ Reynolds" Subject: nitpicking/the shaggs Good ol' Eb wrote: >Smartypants wrote: >>>>Austin Wiggin paid for a day in a recording studio, >>>>where they recorded the songs that became Philosophy of >>>>the World, now considered a masterpiece by some, >>>>including Frank Zappa, who once called it his third >>>>all-time favorite album. >> >>Okay, who wrote this sentence? >> >>>> - John Bitzer >> >> >>Someone should inform Mr. Bitzer that Frank Zappa stopped considering stuff >>six years ago. > >I see no problem with the above sentence. I doubt anyone else does, either. > >What, after someone dies, we're not allowed to quote them anymore? let's break it down: " ...Now considered a masterpiece by some, including Frank Zappa, who once called it..." If we remove all but one of the people who consider the album a masterpiece from the equation we are left with: "Now considered a masterpiece by Frank Zappa, who once called it..." I don't have a problem with quoting dead people, I have a problem stating that dead people are currently considering albums masterpieces. I might have written, "...now considered a masterpiece by some. Frank Zappa, in fact, once called it his third all-time favorite album." But all nitpicking aside, having heard this album I have a hunch that "some" is probably more specifically a number close to two, and I while one of them may be Austin Wiggin I think Mr. Bitzer would be hard pressed to name another. I have serious doubts that a perfectionist such as FZ, who could have very likely considered the album one of his favorites, would actually have gone so far as to call this record a masterpiece unless he were pulling somebody's leg.

I gotta go with Russ on this one. You can't say something is "now considered" something by someone who "once called" it something. Sorry, Eb. Besides, isn't it a run-on sentence?

By all means, good sir! We must needs correlate and compare our lyrics via the web, that we may finish this deed once and for all! we are close to having it done, unlike the guitar tabbers whose gret task lies ahead. and spare not the electrified cattle prod! =b ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 23:43:17 -0500 (EST) From: Bayard Subject: Re: Skip and a Drake and a Denny On Wed, 24 Nov 1999, Vivien Lyon wrote: > > > > that was the Sandy Denny tribute gig in Brooklyn, no?

But really, Eddie, the main 'benefit' to calling it twat rock is illusory, as I ASSURE you that one cannot say 'twat' on the radio. Vivien granted, I almost never listen to the radio. But I can't have been living under a rock for _that_ long. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one place. Yahoo!

Having been a solo, bedroom artist for so many years, happy to use my real name when playing to my audience (ie. me), I now find myself with band... Thing is, though we have music, instruments and all the other stuff necessary, we don't have a name. Due to my lack of imagination etc, I haven't been able to come up with one (save perhaps "Feckless", but how out-of-date, GenX is that?). Therefore, I appeal to youse clever knowledgable types to help me out. Any suggestions received with almost embarrassing gratitude. Thanks in advance!

I get tired of hearing songs about how no one in the music industry understands her and everybody thinks she's a lesbian when she's really bisexual and how all the thanks she gets is to take all the shit for the women who won't speak up. I guess that's a bias of mine: I dislike songs that are so intensely self-referential to the business of music. So I'd have to say that Ani occasionally falls within my rubric of "whiny."
