Wheee! Amy Denio is a goddess. _Birthing Chair Blues_ is a lovely, lovely album. I met Amy when she was an opening act (one of two, the other being the amazing duo Roy Nathanson and Anthony Coleman) on Negativland's 1992/3 tour, at the Lounge Ax in Chicago. Besides being talented and creative, she's just a helluva nice lady. Tangentially, anyone who digs Fred Frith's more 'composed' solo stuff (_Speechless_, _Cheap at Half the Price_, _Gravity_) cuold do much worse than to check out Mike Keneally's _Nonkertompf_ album. A masterpiece. >np: Captain Beefheart/Safe As Milk...just got this in the mail. Bonus track >"Big Black Baby Shoes" sounds like a Can Of Bees outtake. Cool! I just got a Robyn show in a trade recently, where he mentioned listening to Captain Beefheart's _Trout Mask Replica_ and the fact that it's one of the free-est, most out-there (paraphrased) things in existence, with which I agree. I'd not noticed much of a resemblance between Soft Boys and Beefheart before (prob'ly 'cos my periods of heavy Hitchcock obsession and heavy Beefheart obsession haven't coincided), but I can hear some resemblance between Morris' drumming on, say, "Old Pervert" and that on some of the later, slightly more repetitive Beefheart tunes, say Robert Williams' drumming on parts of _Shiny Beat (Bat Chain Puller)_ and _Doc at the Radar Station_. Can anybody make a six-degrees-of-separation path between Beefheart's Magic Band and the Soft Boys? Probably through Eric Drew Feldman or Gary Lucas? da9ve ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2001 10:23:10 -0700 (PDT) From: "J.

You're assuming that he can't get noticed some other way, such as on his own, which isn't necessarily the case. Sure, it's obvious that the SB's are getting more attention now than Robyn solo was with Warner's, but that's almost always the case when an artist signs to a new label, isn't it? The publicity machine always seems to wind down after the first couple of albums fail to go platinum, especially with big labels like Warner's. My opinion (shared by many if not most) is that he should never have signed with Warner's at all. The vice president of Warner's was at the Largo gig recording the set with a hand held cam corder device thingy [he looks like a slightly aged and pickled L.A. scenester dude - frizzed hair and all, not a suit type]. Apparently he is a *huge* Robyn fan which may be the main reason RH went with that label - that is they knew he wouldn't make them buckets o' money but b/c he [the warner vp] is in a position of power he can by-pass that from time to time and follow what is left of his heart. It pays like the Dickens to know people esp if they are in those proverbial high places. So don't discount a Soft Boys record on Warner's either. chas walker L.A. side >>--<< ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2001 18:04:43 -0000 From: "Spring Cherry" Subject: We must, then, exhume Ruth.

He is an extrememly nice guy. He asked for criticism of his tour diaries and I offered my suggestions - more behind the scenes info - and he seemed pleased. He talked about money and how Tom Dolby has made loads in IT technologies. He also said that the SB now feel like they can compete with any band and that now that the tour is over, they are just finding their chops and he wished it wasn't over, as do many. He said that if they could get a sponsor then the would tour more extensively. I think he just liked rocking out and didnt want to return to the courts as a barrister. Though he admitted that he is painfully shy on stage, hence his appearnce like he is trying to hide or at least not engage the audience too much. Truth is, he is painfully aware of what the audience is up to but doesn't really show it. Lot of famous people at Largo - Aimee Mann and her hub Penn [I like their last names together Mann&Penn], but they hung out mostly in the Kitchen. Peter Buck stood next to me by the bar for most of the show, we both have our priorities straight. I remember at the end of the night he was talking with Grant Lee Phillips and said, "I have your keys. Don't worry." Grant had been imbibing a bit more than the rest I suppose.

Hmmm...I *guess* I can go along with that faint praise, since I do actually own the album (unlike, say, The Division Bell). But, it sure is mediocre and recycled. And I wouldn't label it a "reunion album," anyway. It's standard practice for Pink Floyd to go a few years between releases. >PS: How about this -- Reunion albums to look forward to?

Some reunion albums I'd really like to see: the Pixies, the Replacements, Thin White Rope, the Feelies, Hugo Largo, Jellyfish, Camper Van Beethoven, Wire, and yes, definitely Talking Heads. Ben: >> The two best posts I found in alt.music.ramones: > >Did you forget to troll the U2 newsgroups too? How does scanning other people's posts constitute "trolling"? ;) Why U2? Oh, you mean because Joey was listening to U2 when he died? Incidentally, I am *so* irritated with myself, today. I totally forgot that last night was Rodney Bingenheimer's weekly radio show on KROQ (the nationally renowned, commercial-alternative radio station). For those who don't know the name, he's sort of a pop-culture legend whose history with the local scene goes all the way back to his days as Davy Jones' stand-in on "The Monkees." He also appears on the infamous GTO's album. Rodney is such a fixture that he's the only KROQ DJ who's allowed to program his own show. And the Ramones are a central component of his aesthetic, which is both really easy to delineate and really difficult to put into words (mmm...CBGB's meets glam meets Britpop meets '50s girl groups?). He was also a personal friend of Joey Ramone's, and an important early supporter of the band. So, with 15 minutes to go in his timeslot, it suddenly popped into my mind that this would be a "special night" for Rodney. I quickly flicked on the show, and sure enough, it sounded like he had played three hours of nothing but Ramones. DAMN, I'm upset I missed that show. It would've been both touching AND educational (since I haven't heard a sizeable chunk of the Ramones' catalog). I wonder if there's anywhere online I could finagle a dubbed tape?
