So how 'bout a little help, James? okay, if that's the way you want to play it, here are some clues to all 50 of the questions! Part one: what were they on? 1. "You probably ate them, thinking they were a carrot!" a play within a play 2. I kiss the ground on which you walk; I kiss the lips through which you talk; I kiss the city of New York well, you've all got that one... 3. I never learned why meteors were formed - I only farmed in schools that were so worn and torn Not by Toto, nor by Kansas, but by an Englishman 4. No doubt you've heard about a door through the northern pole. It's hard to believe. I can't believe that! I *can't* believe that! (same band, different song) 5. I can see my life before me running rings around the way it used to be A canadian, an englishman, and a yachting-mad walrus sang this 6. I would welcome a horse's kick to send me back if I could find a horse not made of sand It was once quipped that if any more of this band's members left, they'd have to call their next album 'Exodus' 7. In an interstellar burst, I am back to save the universe! many modern cars have these 8. Neptune, Titan, stars can frighten oh, come ON. Robyn's even covered this one! 9. As the cavalry of despair takes a stand in the lady's hair A particularly regal shade of red 10. Riding the backs of giraffes for a laugh is all right for a while Terrence should get this one easily 11. It's never delicate, just something from the Iron Age perhaps some of them were hammerheads 12. My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof Hey now, hey now... 13. Well, we've been fighting with the mujahaddin down in Afghanistan werewolves in Moscow? 14. A while ago somewhere I don't know when, I was watching a movie with a friend. I fell in love with the actress Another canadian, sometimes associated with the c, e, and y-m w mentioned above 15. Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away title was also a series of documentaries about hollywood musicals 16. We sat and talked of revolution, just like two liberals in the sun one of these liberals was English. The other was born in Japan 17. You might even shake the hands of presidents - better send a postcard and keep the family quiet what do you eat at easter? if they're made from milky bars, and there's a gap in the middle, then they're... 18. Burning my bridges and smashing my mirrors, turning to see if you're cowardly North, Tasman, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Baltic, Tyrrhenian and Adriatic 19. When you reach Kyoto send a postcard if you can back when he sang songs, rather than making background washes of music 20.

If your heart is a flame burning brightly, you'll have light and you'll never be cold A scandinavian version of trivial pursuit 26. Why pamper life's complexities when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat? A miserable English man who names his albums after places in London sang this 27. I was punk - now I'm just stupid four women - the most famous is unlikely to be related to Beach Boy Mike 28. If you know who you are you are your own superstar, and only you can shape the music that you make The cover featured a man sitting in a deckchair. It came out in about 1975 29. You've got to drift in the breeze before you set your sails almost sued by Nikon for a song on the same album 30. Would not our world turn cold if the sun refused to shine? come on folks - how many fans of Colin and Andy are there here? 31. There's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line "The less I seek my source in some definitive, the ------ I am -- ----" 32. To get involved in the exchange of human emotions is ever so satisfying mad, these scandinavian women... 33. You'll always find us out to lunch "just send the restaurant bill to Mr McLaren, please" 34. Make sure that you're receiving the signals they send, 'cause brother you've only got two hands to lend The cover of the album had a giant stone ear on it 35. You're a teaser, you turn them on, leave them burning and then you're gone looking out for another HUGE hit in about 1978. More mad scandinavians 36. I hope the day will never come when I can't awake to the sound of drum an actor, a singer, and the king of calypso. From about 1960 37. Me revoici dans ce bar enfume avec mes yeux ivres one too many punches in his former career, perhaps? 38. Stuck inside of Memphis with a mobile home Steinman gave these goths the Wagnerian treatment 39. This stick was signed by Jean Belliveau, so don't fucking tell me where to fucking go! She (yes, she) is - surprisingly enough - Canadian 40. She's got one in the oven but it's nothing to do with me If an Irish blues-rock legend was related, they could have changed the last two words of this album's title to "Uncle Rory" 41. I've been wading through all this unbelievable junk and wondering if I should have given the world to the monkeys Talking of the Irish, this London Irishman is just Dynamite! 42. Am I dreaming? I can hear her screaming "Hiya Mr Jackson, everything's OK" this one goes all the way back to the 1940s. The bandleader's death remains a contriversial 43. He licked at one, he licked the other, he went in circles, he dropped dead did a GREAT (or should that be grating?) cover of "Satisfaction" 44. She rules her life like a fine skylark, and when the sky is starless The world's tallest drummer gave his name to half of this band, famous as much for playing musical beds as music. 45. In a highway service station, over the month of June was a photograph of the earth taken coming back from the moon what? ANOTHER canadian woman? Presumably on a pilgrimage somewhere. 46. Trails burning everywhere, sulphur fingers in the air do I REALLY need to give y'all clues to this? Um... the singer blinks a lot 47. Mining companies, pastoral companies, uranium companies, collected companies The australian band's lead singer was once described as looking like an animated insect with his legs stuick in treacle. But he does good work for many causes 48. There were tropical breezes and a wide open sea - I remember my childhood surprise surprise, Lou Reed guested on this NY woman's album! 49. At the age of ten she looked like Greta Garbo Glaswegian stylish band from the 80s 50. Why do you record my phonecalls? Are you planning a bootleg LP? Don't call me Ska-face! hope THAT helps!

Saw a woefully underattended gig at the 12 Bar last night. Kimberley Rew and Julian Dawson playing a double-headliner, with Andy Metcalfe acting as bassist. Squeeze's Glenn Tilbrook guested on a few numbers. The songs from Kim's new album Tunnel Into Summer (on Gadfly Records in US, not sure about distribution in UK) sounded extremely strong. And he did a marvellous, even newer track about Screaming Lord Sutch which was very moving. Having listened at the gig and in the comfort of my own home (!) I have to take issue with whoever it was who doesn't think that Kim's lyrics on the album are quite up to snuff. On the contrary, I think there's a lot of very good stuff on it. Last night it struck me pretty strongly that the title track has over and undertones of IODOT: no bad thing :-) jmbc ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 17:21:45 -0700 (PDT) From: Capuchin Subject: NYC Fegs: I need a favor that might involve one or more (or all) of the following: Footwork A keen and clever understanding of the NY music/arts scene Time on Wednesday, May 17, 2000 Fronting me some money (which I'll promptly return, but can't get to you by tomorrow) If someone wants to do me a favor, I'd love it.

Other having problems too? >are you using http://glasshotel.net/gh ? Indeed, Bayard's site seems to be doing just fine, but apparently alternatech.net's connection *is* down, at least as I type this, though it was OK earlier this afternoon. I'm not sure if the guy who's supposed to deal with connection failures is working on it or not (I'm about 50 miles away at the moment), but usually it's our upstream provider that loses the connection and there's little we can do about it but wait. (Our connection to them is a microwave relay, which in the past has only been cut during power failures, which around here are usually only caused by tornadoes and that sort of thing.) Remember, I'm a programmer/designer/tech-writer/archivist/ historian, not a server-admin/communications-guru/bricklayer! Of course, internet connections in Peoria are always dicey at the best of times, but these things don't usually last too long. This is all just a long-winded way of saying "sorry for the inconvenience, folks."

The artist announced his name change, as well as a few other surprises, at a New York City news conference on Tuesday. "On December 31, 1999, my publishing contract with Warner/Chappell expired, thus emancipating the name I was given before birth, Prince, from all long-term restrictive documents," Prince explained to the press. "I will now go back to using my name instead of the symbol I adopted as a means to free myself from all undesirable relationships." [RealVideo] As for the suddenly available symbol that used to be his name, Prince joked, "Well, it's an internationally known logo now, so... I haven't really given it much thought." Prince did attend to more weighty issues at his press conference, including his announcement that he has broken off relations with Arista Records, which inked the artist last August and released his "Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic" shortly thereafter. Prince also noted that he won't deal with Arista's new president, L.A. Reid, under the old Arista agreement. (Prince had signed a one-album deal with former Arista head Clive Davis.) As for the gold-certified "Rave," which has slid off the charts, Prince has recorded an updated version of the disc, slightly renamed "Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic," which he'll sell online at 1800newfunk.com. At this time, Prince has no plans to tour, but he will be opening his Minneapolis studio Paisley Park to the public from June 7-13 and closing the week with a blowout concert at Northrup Auditorium (see "Prince Opens Up Paisley Park For Fan 'Celebration'"). ===== "Life is just a series of dogs." -- George Carlin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
