And since beer is virtually a religion in some parts of the globe (NZ's not quite as bad as Australia for this, but we'd probably be second or third under the table), it can raise a few eyebrows when I say that - with one or two exceptions - I don't like beer.

Like you all need to know this, but... I quit drinking for about a year and a half, but will now have a beer or a glass of wine or two in some situations. I don't get drunk and I stay away from the hard stuff -- well, except I did have one of Pat's Margueritas in October, but those are worth making an exception for. When you're out on a date it's a lot easier to just have a glass of wine than to go into an i-don't-drink but-it's-okay-if-you-do routine, and somehow the question always came up if I ordered a club soda or something. And there are one or two live music venues I frequent that are infinitely more pleasant if one nurses a drink before the first band plays. But i think i had a depression problem, not a drinking problem per se. The drinking did the depression no particular good, though. And: i think i'm repeating myself too -- i repeat myself when i'm under stress, i repeat myself when i'm under stress -- but first rhitch was fegMania! used (on vinyl) for 3 bucks, somewhat before the release of "element" and "invisible."

You can let the crap fall out of your little potty mouth all day in whatever regard you desire, but I never, ever, ever want to hear you say anything bad about PUCK again. He was pure and unadulterated. He did not allow anyone to alter his convictions or ideals. Everything he said and did was 100% unfiltered shit, but it was pure shit. And he was no different on the day he arrived than he was on the day he left. Hell, he even got him some. Almost every other person on realfake world, except that beautiful black girl from Georgia who fell in love and had her heart broken by that Jewish guy, was a fucking joke. I felt like kicking that guy in head after he came back from the trip home and told everyone he was engaged and all he could do was walk around with his head in the air talking about his fiance. He knew how she felt before he left and he even showed like signs. That really blew her away. What an asshole and an idiot. I hope he got what he deserved. Oooh well, it is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. And did you see her wearing that bikini when they went to the island? I bet he was kicking himself in the balls that entire day. Maybe people do get what they deserve, sometimes. PUCK has been the ONLY good thing to come out of MTV since 1984 (besides the beautiful girl from Georgia). A couple months ago, a local teeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeee station was advertising realfakeworld reruns in the Dallas Observer, and who did they have a picture of, PUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! g 'who wonders why he is the ONLY person on the entire planet to appreciate PUCK' ss ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 06 Mar 2001 14:46:48 -0800 From: "Jason R.

I found Puck to be the fakest of the fake. Not that anyone on these programs truly acts "real" on camera. But, he didn't really seem to have *any* consistent conviction or ideals. He just seemed to be putting on an act the entire time, playing an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. Which is why I think they put him on. As an intentional irritant to the rest of the boring cast. I don't see why his inability to adapt to new environments nor show an ounce of politeness to his fellow human beings should be applauded. - --Jason "Only the few know the sweetness of the twisted apples." - Sherwood Anderson ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 17:30:45 -0500 From: "Ben" Subject: Re: The soft virgin ears of innocence My first Soft Boys/Robyn purchase was Underwater Moonlight, in 1994, bought at a little corner record store called Best Buy!

The shows are set for April 2-6 and will be held at the St. James Theatre, a historic venue in the heart of town. Aside from Vedder, the lineup so far includes Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien and drummer Phil Selway, former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, Finn's brother and Crowded House/Split Enz cohort Tim on vocals, Lisa Germano on vocals, piano, and violin, and former Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg. The tour comes in support of Finn's upcoming album "One Nil," due April 9 internationally via Parlophone. No North American release date has been determined. "The concept for the shows is to invite friends whose music I admire to collaborate with me in presenting a week-long musical extravaganza which I optimistically expect to be a blast," Finn says. "Given a bit of preparation time and careful planning, it should go far beyond the sometimes token nature of one-off all star shows. I would hope that a genuine musical exchange takes place and that everyone involved feels inspired and stimulated at the end of it." It is not confirmed if the shows will be recorded and/or videotaped for possible release, but Finn has been taking a radical approach to live performances of late. At recent Auckland shows, he has asked unknown musicians to send him demos of their performances of Crowded House tunes. Finn then goes through the tapes, and on the day of the show, assembled a select group of unknowns to play the songs unrehearsed. In July, he will tour Australia with a chamber orchestra - ----------------- End Forwarded Message ----------------- - - Steve __________ I'd sit down and meditate but my ass is on fire. - Bill Nelson ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 06 Mar 2001 19:39:19 -0800 From: "Russ Reynolds" Subject: Re: more eBay follies > And Partridge, quit bidding on this!

I don't think that there is much doubt that Chuck got most of his typical "Carol"-style tunes from piano player Johnny Johnson, who used to lead an instrumental group featuring the unknown Chuck on guitar. Johnson in turn was doubtless cribbing from the boogie woogie players of the 1940s. But of course the lyrics were very much Chuck's own original creations, and the playing of piano riffs in a chunk-a-chunk style on a Gibson 335 gave a new, more rock'n'roll feel to the performances. I saw an item recently stating that Johnson was currently suing Chuck. He's left it a bit late, they must both be pushing 70 by now.

But I've never owned a TV. I don't usually tell people, & I can generally fake them out. (In America you don't have to own a TV to know what's on it.) Anyway it's not necessarily a judgement-- I watch regularly at my parents', in-laws' or friends' & I make special trips to watch certain things or rent episodes of MST3K & have a couple of friends minorly in the business, but I just feel happy w/out it in my home. When I visit someone & it's on as background I start watching because it's novel. People see me watching & self-consciously turn it off. When people find out they sometimes offer us their old TV when they replace it. I'm holding out for a VCR. Does I sound self-defensive? Mm-hm. But it's like the drinking thing, how people act embarrassed. I'm into words & modern poetry is about as dog-in-the-manger an art form as you're likely to find. But w/ poetry all the equipment you need is a good memory. Then borrow a typwriter, get stationary & stamps. TV is *very* geared to high expense, big organizations. Not to say big business. MST3K is the closest to DIY TV I can think of. But I'm still interested in space exploration, gothic cathederals, the works of Peter Weir, none of them exactly DIY. Feels Like the First Time-- When I 1st saw RH in 86 I was cold sold by the show. I was put on to him by reviews by reliable local Mark Jenkins, then at City Paper, now Wash. Post. I'm old enuf to have had my mind blown by "Little Games" & "Have You Seen Her Face" in 67, so I responded to the whole paisely thing w/ a degree of -- nostalgia. I didn't know the songs then & so can't remember set details. Worse, I can't remember what he said between songs. It wasn't until I got to know EOL that I saw how good the songs were, but the performance gave me the idea. The combo of the great sound & the deadpan delivery of surreal patter, not melodramatic or wacky except in the language he used. I started working my way back, Fegmania, BSDR and then Underwater Moonlight w/ the airplanes & fishes painting cover.

Chianti, Pinot Noir, Char., Merlot, Spanish table wines etc. Although I don't drink daily, at least not usually, I do drink more than I should. I can mix anything without ever getting sick. And I'm proud of this fact. I love black and tans, Dead Guy Ale (is this just a Chicago thing?), Bass on draft, and when I'm feeling real desperate a 40 ouncer of Lazer. I already mentioned the bananas soaking in rum, which are rotting beautifully, by the way. By the time you get to the bottom of bottle, you can pull out a banana and put it on some ice cream. Yummy! I first hear RH when I didn't drink. I love Squeeze. My older brother made a tape for me of Squeeze's Cool For Cats. There was some extra space at the end so he tagged on Flesh Number One (bettle dennis)featuring Squeeze's Glenn Tilbrooke on harmonies. From the 1st time I heard this song I was hooked. That must of been 1988. I'm an avid collector on anything I like, bad for my pocket book, good for Robyn's, but I never minded contributing to a worthy cause. It must have been late 1988 I got a hold of the pix disc 12'' of Wading through a ventilator. I thought 'so this is where The face of death came from!' (I heard it on Gotta let this hen out). I heard Underwater a year later and was totally blow away. I wished I was alive 10 years earlier. I never thought they'd be touring again 12 years later! 10 days till the tour begins!
