I was reading a bit about it on the Web yesterday, and was really surprised at how organized *both* sides of the battle seem to be. News to me. H-card, emulator, looper...new vocabulary.

So last year was the year of the Who, Wire, the Bangles and Spinal Tap, and I guess this is the year of Roxy Music and the Soft Boys. ;) I'll take the Who and Wire myself, but.... I wonder if Roxy Mark II will be able to "rock," in any sort of convincing way. >In lieu, I suppose, from the first time around, what a fantastic time to >be alive! You know, I gotta admit that I liked "Velvet Goldmine" *far* more than I expected, after finally seeing it in recent times.

I'm not afraid of you people--I live south and a bit east, on Q st. between 5th and New Joisey. There's a party here this Friday night for my wife Amy's birthday--if you think you might come, email me direct and I'll give you my EXACT address. (OK, maybe I'm a lil afraid of yall...) and no, the Bohemian place I meant isn't Boho, it's actual Bohemian, with a big piano keyboard over the entrance--I think it's the Bohemian Cavern. But it does look fancy (that kind of scary) and Ethio food sounds good. But, too, Ben's CB does have veggie chili--and it's good. dave ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 17:59:31 -0700 From: hbrandt Subject: la liz Eduardo Asshole Motherfucker wrote: > >Those who didn't get enough of "Elizabeth Taylor's Bizarro World" > on the > >Golden Globes can get a full one-hour dose on CNN tonight (9pm EST). > > for those who don't know what in the sam hell the multitude of liz > globes behaviour references from all media are precisely referring > to (the husky basketball announcer even made a crack about it the > other night), someone wanna elucidate just what it is that she did > and/or said that's got the whole entire world up-in-arms? Liz appeared to be on some heavy medication. She started reading the winner *before* she announced the nominees. Producer Dick Clark had to run out on stage and coach her through it. She seemed to not be able to grasp the concept of the teleprompter. Then, as they cut to Dick for a backstage interview with the winner, she said "goodnight!" off-camera causing Dick to throw up his hands in disbelief, pass it back to Liz and roll credits. She had obviously missed the rehearsal. Plus, her pompous star attitude is just laughable (not to mention her new Bozo-style reddish hairdo.) The CNN Larry King appearance was more of the same as she fiddled with her hair and slurred her bleary-eyed way through the hour. Fascinating. /hal ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 22:12:35 -0700 From: hbrandt Subject: Re: softboys setlist fantasia they call him mr. tews: > > The Rain, sisters and brothers. The motherfucking Rain. hell, they could throw in the beatles' Rain and the velvets' Ocean and make it a nice little trilogy (or something). I think it would appropriate (even though it ain't a SB's track) for the band to resurrect "The President". It was written about Ronnie ("mommy?") Raygun's trip to Germany, but it still sounds current. In fact, it would even fit in with your multi-segued "Rain" mini-concert, Eddie: "The president is talking to us through a microphone/like he's trying to pack his mother off to an old people's home...I can almost hear it raining..." --> "When the rain comes/they run and hide their heads..." etc. /hal ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 22:22:51 -0800 From: "Russ Reynolds" Subject: Mr. Sparkle? > Those lucky > enough to have seen Hitchcock at the Stone in Palo Alto Note to confused tape collectors: no such place. The Stone was in San Francisco. The Keystone was Palo Alto, but by 1992 I'm pretty sure it had become The Edge. There was also a Keystone Berkeley. Besides the plethora of great bands I got to see there (Fall, Stanglers, Undertones, Gang of Four, Warren Zevon, Ramones, Sly Stone, Go-Gos, to name a few) I will always remember the Keystone Palo Alto for two things: 1. George Thorogood tending bar at a (Motels?) show the night before opening for The Rolling Stones at Candlestick. Made a right good Gin & Tonic. 2. The infallible logic scrawled above the urinal in the men's room that read "If Einstein was so smart why is he dead?" I also remember hearing "Underwater Moonlight" on the sound system between bands the night the Stranglers played. Man, that was a great place to see a show. - -rUss ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2001 01:07:27 -0700 From: Eb Subject: curiouser and curiouser http://groups.yahoo.com/group/robynhitchcock Glancing at the page for the Yahoo RH list...is anyone here on that list, and know why the list generally averages about 15 posts a month, yet had *1957* posts during July, 2000? There *must* be some bizarre reason.... Fun (unsubstantiated) facts which I picked up on the Internet a bit ago: Last year in the United States, there were two cases of human rabies, two cases of cholera, two cases of diphteria and six cases of bubonic plague. And 63 cases of leprosy. Enjoy.... Meanwhile, I just paper-cut the hell out of my thumb. A far more common malady, I imagine. Trivially but soberly, Eb PS No word on how many of the above infections were caused by animals in LJ/Quail's apartment. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2001 11:52:30 -0500 From: recount chocula Subject: Re: roxy music II when we last left our heroes, Andrew D.

That Palo Alto show was at The Edge, not The Stone. Alex Chilton opened. Worst RH show I've ever seen. - -tc ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V10 #24 *******************************
