You've got a really well recorded Paul and George and then you've got this rather ghostly, flanged...I mean it was just a mono cassette or something. I think they should have done it as a, kind of, exorcism for themselves, that was probably a good thing. And they should have just bootlegged it. Of course, they had to make it this, sort of, spearhead of the campaign. You know, they had to sell the first anthology through that. It was really sad because it wasn't even relevant to that collection of Beatles songs.... Yeah, I mean, they're entitled to do it.

This is a good one. Neil Halstead is getting more and more Dylanlike. I love his song writing. That song "my life in art" really gets me. I'm glad I waited for the U.S. release, it's $10 cheaper than the import, and has 2 extra songs. Bonus! I was in Chicago over the weekend and picked up the new Bowie release "Bowie at the Beeb." I haven't really listen to the BBC sessions cds, but the Bonus live cd is a really great performance. A spectacular line up and a nice set of songs from a private show performed a few months ago in June of 2000. I really wish Hitchcock and Grant were coming around Detroit. I'm half tempeted to drive to Philly. From Toledo to Philly is a long way though. I wonder if they're letting people hook up to the sound board again this tour?

This time, the room was considerably more populated (even for the opening band), though it was still only about 75% full. I believe the sign over the door said a capacity of 350...I have yet to see this limit tested. The opening band (Devics) was completely unknown to me. Right off the bat, I was turned off by their lame name, which seemed doubly lame after I discovered they pronounce it "DEE-vix" and aggressively avoid adding "The" before the word. However, they actually turned out to be fairly good. Good enough that I'd like to hear their album. Went over big with the crowd, too - -- they were called back for an unplanned encore. They're not exactly the first act to put a modern spin on the Kurt Weill/European torch-song mentality, but they did it well, and did it without lumbering over into a phony, affected (i.e., goth) approach. For me, it also helped that the female singer sounded remarkably like Carla Bozulich at times. They could use someone in a permanent Marc Ribot role, however -- there was a drummer and an upright bassist, but the bulk of the music was carried by a guy on electric piano (who occasionally switched to guitar). Sometimes, the arrangements seemed to be missing something. The singer mentioned they were leaving the next day for a tour of Italy, so I guess they have a following somewhere.... I plan to look up Devics on the web, and see what turns up. I hadn't seen Laika onstage since July, 1995 (indeed, I don't think they've performed in L.A. since then), so I was looking forward to seeing them again -- especially since they've maintained (and even built upon) the quality of their first album, which was one of my favorite debuts in a great year for new talent (also arriving in 1994: Beck, Jeff Buckley, Lambchop, Mouse on Mars, Oasis, Portishead, That Dog, Weezer, the Halo Benders). The group's set-up is a bit alienating -- I'm not fond of pre-programmed tracks, and much of the music is provided by two identical keyboards played (or button-punched) by group leaders Margaret Fiedler and Guy Fixsen. I don't pretend to be a "tech" expert, and I'm curious how these keyboards were controlled. They were only about eight inches from front to back, and had essentially no knobs, pots or slides beyond a pitchshifter toggle. Maybe there were foot pedals involved? There *was* a live drummer and bassist, however, who gave the arrangements some needed human blood. I always kinda admire such musicians, who are disciplined enough to play the same repetitive patterns for an entire song without leaving the pocket. The bassist and Fixsen are British, Fiedler is American and I forget the drummer's heritage. With his goatee and black turtleneck, the bassist looked like a stereotyped "bohemian," from years gone by. Which reminds me - -- there was a noticeable number of female-female couples in the crowd. Not sure why the group would have that following. I haven't read any Laika interviews, so I don't know what Fiedler might have "confessed." I suppose her manner might set off a few gay sensors, and her lyrics, while focused on romantic conflicts, seem to be non-gender specific. But, never mind -- my narrative is going astray. Since the crowd wasn't too thick, I found myself almost directly below Fiedler, without even working to angle for a choice spot. Unfortunately, I had two dancing nuisances, directly to my right. One was a typical techno dude who thought he was reeeeeeally hot sh*t and was totally absorbed in his own bitchen dancing without paying any attention to anyone else's space. The other was some big, beefy clod who had no rhythm/ability whatsoever, but cheerfully clumped up and down the whole show. I think I may have overheard that he was from out of town, which would fit the profile. Because the floor was wooden, I felt these two's vibrations in my feet throughout the whole show, which was a bit seasicky and probably led to a miserable headache I had later at home. Laika's songs still sounded a bit samey, but seeing them performed onstage added some variety. None of the players have much charisma, however, even if Fiedler's shy smile and down-to-earth comments between songs were somewhat endearing. Fiedler plays electric guitar as much as she plays keyboard, but her guitar-playing was more about strumming up a noisy "atmosphere" than picking distinct notes. Fixsen's usual style was to simply "punch" his keyboard with alternating index fingers of each hand. Again, I'm not sure how his "live" rhythmic punctuations triggered the basic, pre-programmed foundations, but I kinda doubt either Fixsen or Fiedler could play a traditional melody-n-chords piece on a piano. I didn't consciously realize the odd time signatures of some Laika songs, until I "bobbed" to the rhythms in the club. Three different tunes were in seven time (two in 7/8 and one in 7/4, I believe), and it was difficult, evenly stressed seven time, not just a 4/4-then-3/4-measure feel. My favorite track of the night was probably "Red River" (off Laika's first album), and its aggressive undulations were fairly typical. Weird, natal coincidences: During the Devics set, the singer called out "Happy birthday, Zack!" to someone in the audience. Also, late in the night, Fiedler asked if someone knew the time. Upon hearing it was 12:15 am (and thus, now October 1st), she said "Oh, then it's my birthday!" Alas, there were no such grandstanding gestures for me. ;) The crowd really *roared* when Laika finally left the stage, and after the mandatory encore, Fiedler humbly ran the band's merchandise table herself and was mobbed with 25-30 folks waving fists of green. A couple of import-only CD5s were on sale, but I resisted. She was also selling Laika *yo-yos*??? Strange. I guess that's all I have to say about Saturday night. Check out Laika's new album Good Looking Blues, if you have the chance....

Mariani was in 2 seminal Aussie garage pysch pop bands The Stems and the Lime Spiders. Mather I believe was also in the Lime Spiders. They were pretty similar in sound to the Hoodoo Gurus. Both of them later went on to form the Someloves just prior to going their separate ways again.
