(Brian Eno - "By this River") ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 05 Jan 2001 10:42:00 +1030 From: great offwhite dude Subject: weird Robyn dream Fegs, I had a very weird Robyn dream last night , which is unusual , as I have never dreamed of him before. I also haven't even been listening to his music for over a month . I can only put it down to a friend mentioning that I had a lot of Robyn Hitchcock tapes yesterday , as he was perusing my tape list on the iMac . Anyway, last night , I was woken at 4 am by our elderly poodle, who wished to go out and chase cats. After I let her back in, I spent a sleepless hour or so and then fell into a deep sleep, which produced this dream. I am at the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide, or supposed to be , as the venue is much smaller and resembles a cross between a rather grotty church and a spartan hall . The seats are wooden benches like you get in a church, but the walls are bare earth ! I am with my mate Ian who always seems to accompany me to gigs and we are there to see Robyn and Billy Bragg. I have my tape deck to record the show , but every bloody thing you can think of goes wrong with the recording . As we are waiting for the show to start , I find a brand new Maxell tape sitting on the back of one of the benches, so I think this would be cool to use if I run out of tape. Then I am distracted as the band have not appeared on-stage , so I have to go fetch them. I go backstage to find a locked door , which I blow off its hinges by using a small amount of explosive. this leads into a huge gymnasium and find the Grateful Dead playing cards around a small table !. they all look guilty and I rouse them out and tell them to get their backsides on-stage . I then realize that I haven't checked my taping equipment so I go back to the hall, Billy Bragg is playing , but it does not sound like him at all, in fact , all the music in this show is muted and barely audible, I can really only remember one song, of which more later. Anyway, Bragg is playing and I am screwing up the recording, I'm trying to see the levels and remain cool, but it seems that I am only becoming more visible, the sound levels are all over the place and Ian , who is next to me , starts talking . I try to shush him up , which alerts the people next to me who start cheering when they see I am recording the show. Next thing its the set break and I try to fix the recording equipment as Robyn is on next . For some reason I find myself in a garden next to a ruined house checking to see if the recorder is set right . Then I hear the sound of the set beginning , I have to run ( for some reason carrying a fucking tripod and some other shit ) and progress is agonizingly slow. I am missing more of the set -waaah ! I finally make it into the hall and find that Robyn is playing with Billy Bragg as a duo , I try to record, but the levels are even worse and I realize I am running out of tape. I swop to the Maxell, which suddenly assumes a very narrow shape which will no way fit into my deck, however to my surprise it does and it somehow works. This meanwhile is not very covert and I see Robyn looking at me . he narrows his eyes and frowns , which I feel means he disapproves of me taping , But then it occurs to me that he doesn't prevent taping of his shows , so I let this pass. Robyn and Billy Bragg play together for some time , but neither are playing their own music ! , its all very muted and inaudible, so I try to compensate by increasing the levels , but instead of an LED there is a weird VU meter made of paper that moves cyclically , with one channel appearing then disappearing alternately, the levels are screwed , all over the place, wildly over the top one second , then not even visible the next a tapers nightmare I give up trying to do a decent recording and concentrate on the music , which continues, with more musicians gradually taking to the stage . There is a Japanese woman on percussion and a keyboard player and others who are so vague I can't even identify their instruments. Robyn is seated behind a huge keyboard, a Hammond organ , which dwarfs him so much I can only see his head poking up above the front of the monstrosity . The band stop and Robyn asks is everything ok , the very sparse audience, ( around 30 or so )e respond by shouting that its too quiet , could they turn it up,. More people respond , in some very silly accents indeed , some sound as if they are speeded up or even running backwards and Robyn looks confused , However the volume does increase and the band start playing this weird old timey song which has trumpets and clarinets in the chorus and is called "Before the Jailhouse Blows " - -its very catchy but unlike anything that he has ever played before . Then I wake up. The wife has woken me to take the poodle for a walk before it gets too hot outside , I resist the urge to strangle her for interrupting me when the music was just getting good, as I'm really groggy , but at least the song is actually still playing in my head for awhile so I write down the title before it fades away . Now what I want to know is , did anybody get a good quality tape of this show , or even a set list ? Eddie ? Bayard ? Woj ? C'mon, he played some new material , we can't let this stuff go off into the ether . Help ! Commander Lang BTW I'm not even going to try to interpret this dream as my psyche is fucked up enough already, but I'm sure that the malign influence of somebody is behind this and I'm putting my money on either gwbush, Carl Palmer and/or Blatzman as being involved in some vile conspiracy to undermine my confidence in my ability to produce a covert recording of Robyn should he ever return to oztralia in the future !. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2001 19:21:35 -0500 (EST) From: Bayard Subject: vh1 top 100 albums VH1 Ranks 100 Best Rock Albums Updated 12:58 PM ET January 4, 2001 By The Associated Press The top 100 albums in rock 'n' roll history, as judged in a poll of musicians, executives and journalists by VH1, released Thursday: 1.
