Eb, thanks so much for the Thompson review! He could get on stage, play 1952 Vincent Black Lightning, and exit for the night and I would be happy. :) I've seen him quite a few times live and is incredible every time. I am so happy to hear that he is a sincerely nice guy. Always seemed it. One of the absolute best guitarists I have ever heard, and it seems so effortless in every way. I am also a huge Bob Mould fan. Have you heard his covers of Shoot Out The Lights and Turning Of The Tide? Shoot Out The Lights I think was only ever done live, and Turning Of The Tide in the studio with X as his backup band!

It was hard to remember that most of these songs were originally >arranged for a band, because *nothing* was missing in the music. He's >simply brilliant at integrating rhythm chords with lead melodies. This reminds me of a question I've wanted to ask. I think I've asked it before, but with a songwriting focus. I've had guitars available to me for many years, like at least 10 by now, but because I never really practice much of anything (I get as far as providing myself chords to sing over, since my voice is my "primary instrument") I still can't really do anything with them. I know notes, chords, basic music theory, reading tab (duh), the whole bit, but I'm planning to commit to getting better in my fingers and not just in my head. So the question is: what's the best way (or what are some good ways) to make progress at the stage I'm at? Should I be trying to learn songs by my favorite artists? Should I be focusing on more advanced/colorful techniques so that I will understand said songs when I'm finally ready to play them? Or should I just keep messing around until I find songs springing from my fretboard (the current, not very successful, strategy)? Drew - -- Andrew D.

[...] South by Southwest was also a place where veteran performers who had been shunted to the margins of the mainstream could still stake their claim to music for music's sake. There was David Byrne singing beautiful, hymnlike melodies over body-bumping beats and soaring violins, Ike Turner improbably leading his Kings of Rhythm through a set of swaggering blues standards, punctuated by the leader's chaotic, almost postmodern guitar leads, and the Soft Boys playing their first ever North American show outside New York. The British quartet was celebrating the re-release of its long-buried classic, "Underwater Moonlight," with a batch of two-decade-old songs that sounded as fresh as anything out of England at the moment. The guitars of Robyn Hitchcock and Kimberly Rew cut with diamond-hard precision, Rew the eternal power-pop kid with his pudding-bowl haircut gleefully coaxing mayhem from his instrument, while the spider fingers of the towering, taciturn Hitchcock scurried to keep up. "I Wanna Destroy You" did just that, while "Insanely Jealous" and "Queen of Eyes" brought it all back home: the jangle and jump of those guitars, the heavenliness of those three-part harmonies, the wicked humor and poetic confusion expressed by those lyrics. One of the great lost bands of the '70s was back, and the world was a better place for it (the Soft Boys will headline March 30 at Metro). At South by Southwest 2001, the Soft Boys had plenty of company. At a time when the rock mainstream is sucking wind, the global underground has never been more full of possibility. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 21:04:13 -0500 From: toast@indy.net Subject: UM review in USA Today, of all places And a review of the _Forever Changes_ reissue to match. http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/2001-03-28-classics-revived.htm Tracy/toast@you-know-where.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 18:07:41 -0800 From: "victorian squid" Subject: RE: Hope this is the right address >Well, Scott of the YFF said saturday night that the Soft Boys and Young >Fresh Fellows are "the two gayest sounding bands around" or something to that >effect....hmmmnnnn.

I knew if I let myself go to see the Soft Boys that I would once again become a raving lunatic. There was comfort in knowing that this list existed, even though I had avoided it ever since I understood what Internet lists were; the existence of the list assured me that my descent into total lunacy would be buffered by the fact that there would be others who understood. With that out of the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Jill (hi, Jill) and I have been an addict since about 1982/83. In 1988, I went to see Robyn for the last time at the Paradise in Boston. I believe that was the April Fools Day show; that year April Fools Day coincided with both the first night of Passover and with Good Friday. You can all just imagine the Robynrant that resulted from that alignment of the stars (sniggering from the audience as half of you probably have it on tape). Anyway, quick on the heels of that, I got pregnant, stopped going to shows while continuing to listen to music (hence, I certainly have the most creative and angst-ridden 12-year-old boy in Belmont, MA), had another child, became a soccer mom, and slipped away from my previous life of concert-goer and aficionado of music that no one in my neighborhood had ever heard of. In 1995, I allowed myself to be lured again into the Kinks web (any Kinksters out there? hi, Julie), but I have really confined myself to that one guilty pleasure. But the temptation of the Soft Boys was too strong. How could I refuse to see them after spending years wondering why they had only made it as far as New York back in 1980 and then broken up? So on Monday night, in the snow, I schlepped to the Paradise, where I had seen Robyn a number of times in the days when the bouncers asked for my ID for a reason. I, being a mere 5'2" and easily crushable, marched right upstairs to the same exact spot at the balcony bannister where I had gawped at Ray Davies in October 1995 (particles of my shoes were re-united). I've decided that that spot is the equivalent of my musical g-spot; perhaps it is something akin to the portal to John Malkovich's brain....because there, on that spot, I had the same reaction that I had when I saw Ray almost six years ago. It was as if all my pores, my orifices had opened to let in the sound of pure pleasure and pure genius. I'm not quite over it yet so I'm giving testimony here in an attempt to get my feet somewhere back on the ground. I went to the show with no expectations, no idea what would be played nor in what order. I liked that. I was continually bowled over by favorites that I could never have expected to hear. Exceptional were Kingdom of Love, Underwater Moonlight, Insanely Jealous, Queen of Eyes, Only the Stones Remain, Rock n Roll Toilet, Leppo and the Jooves, and that song that he said he wrote in Austin (something-or-other city); of course everything else was great as well. The band was so tight that they could have walked into the studio right then and there; there was no shuffling and excuse making for the fact that they hadn't been a band in 20 years. The band could clearly appreciate the fact that the audience was giddy with excitement. Although a number of you seasoned veterans traveled here to see the show, I figure most of the audience (probably the same people I had seen the other shows with back in the pre-Internet stone age) had not seen the reincarnation of the Soft Boys and they were wildly appreciative. I've never exactly been able to figure out if Robyn is enjoying himself, but from the number of mini-set encores (3) and the intensity with which they played, I had to assume that the transcendent being himself was pleased. Robyn's introduction to I Wanna Destroy You, in which he pondered the roots and paths of capitalism and relegated Dubyah to the trash heap he belongs in, went over very well in this most Democratic state of the Union. It occurred to me that the last time I saw Robyn, Ronald Reagan was president, and the litany was eerily similar. When the show ended, I stood stunned for a while, went to buy a t-shirt (*that* will go over well at my kids' various sporting events), and was told by my friend that there was a gathering of people in front of the stage taking pictures. Since I have done that at all manners of Kinks-related gigs, I figured that it was the Fegmaniacs, buoyant and hypercharged after a great show. Hello to all of you; maybe I'll meet you next time. I haven't added much to what you already know - it was a fabulous show. The magnitude of its wonderfulness is witnessed by the fact that I have joined this list, something I said that I would never do if I wanted to feed my family and have a clean bathroom. Well, there is always Burger King, and you can go to the toilet there for free.
