This is slightly off-topic, but slightly not: When I saw Paul McCartney in 1990, I was standing in front of some "real" Beatles fans. All they did was talk through McCartney's new material (_Flowers In The Dirt_) and half-heartedly sing off-key during some of the Wings tunes. One of the first Beatles songs performed that night was "Fool On The Hill". When the first few chords of that began to permiate the air, the Beatlemaniacs behind me yelled the following: He: "C'mon Paul! Play something we know!" She: "Yeah, play a Beatles' song!" My friend Steve and I almost demanded that their concert-going privileges for the evening be revoked. Instead, we decided to enjoy the show, despite the dirth of Beatles' songs.

If this topic has already been addressed long ago, ignore it. What music did you listen to in childhood that, in your opinion, directly influenced your taste for the sometimes fanciful, sometimes dark music of Robyn Hitchock? These are albums /45s of my mother's (my father, I am convinced, has NEVER purchased a pop record) that we listened to on many a rainy Oregon afternoon. I'm convinced that these early impresions directly led to my current musical tastes. Carole, anything else you would add? 1. The entire album: The Point by Nilsson (just ask Carole about "Oblio") 2.

It looks pretty good to me until around number 14, where it starts to fall away, though I was surprised by the high ratings for both "Driving Aloud" (eh...though I always like the Harrison Ford line) and "Egyptian Cream" (a great song that always seemed to deserve a less...clunky arrangement...seems like I've heard some gentler, more sensual version somewhere?). I guess "Airscape" is sort of the great meeting place -- I love the song, don't get me wrong, but it's sort of just behind "Alright Yeah" in being comfortable and unable to cause you pain in any way, isn't it? God, the idea of trying to allocate a mere 15 points to my favorite Robyn songs. You folks are brave souls.

As odd as it may sound on the surface, I think my childhood love of Roger Miller might have directly influenced my interest in Robyn. He had an extremely warped view of the world while at the same time being able to recognize the beauty that lay therein. He was at once an extremely poignant lyricist and composer and a goofy guy with goofy songs. I also appreciate Ray Stevens for the same reasons. He could easily vascillate between his better known novelty tunes, such as "The Streak", "Gitarzan", and "Jeremiah Peabody's Pleasant Tasting, Fast Acting, Quick Dissolving, Green and Purple Pills" and more serious songs like "Everything Is Beautiful", "Just So Proud To Be Here" and "Mr. Businessman". I thought he was brilliant and still believe him to be one of the greatest comedic talents in music history. My dad had some Homer & Jethro and Ben Colder (Sheb "Purple People Eater" Wooley's drunken hillbilly alter ego) records that I listened to quite often. They were my prelude to Weird Al and other parodists. I maintain that one of the knee-slappingist funny songs you'll ever hear is a song Homer & Jethro made famous, entitled, "I Am My Own Grandpa". Second to none in its cleverness. A favorite cousin who is about 8 years older than I turned me on to Dr. Demento at an impressionable age (maybe 8 or 9). That discovery, more than anything else, really brought out my appreciation of the surreal and absurd. I also thought that the Disneyland "Sounds of the Haunted House" was a pretty cool record when I was about 6 or so. Other songs I remember liking at a very young age were: "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini" by Brian Hymen "Sukiyaki" by Kyu Sakamoto (even though it was in Japanese and I didn't understand a single thing he sang) "Monster Mash" by Boris Pickett "The Motorcycle Song" by Arlo Guthrie "Convoy" and "Wolf Creek Pass" by C.W. McCall Side note: This is a little embarassing, but my mom says that I was able to sing John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" almost as soon as I was able to talk. I really don't know what that says about my present musical tastes or me in general. Those of you who have met me are free to draw your own conclusions from that admission.

The last one in Britain was Reading, no, Bournemouth which shut down on the day the Beatles split - which rather eclipsed it." Someone from the audience shouts that the P'mouth system shut down in 1964 . "The day they released Hard Day's Night then..." retorts Robyn. 2) Kingdom Of Love Back to trolley buses. "You know, it deprived entire generations of overhead wiring...let your inner compass spin and imagine they ran as far as FRATTON!" (A district of the city where the local football team play, and where I, oh yes, and Matthew Seligman, both saw Fulham draw 1-1 recently...) 3) Queen Of Eyes Lyrical variant "She only wishes she could throw you around" 4) Pulse Of My Heart 5) Tonight Lyrical twist "In the spray of a teddy boy's hips" Then a bit of a digression. "In 1979 we said 'Cleave it with an iron slice', but nobody was listening. They were all listening to The Ruts. I saw Dave Ruffy from the Ruts walking his dogs over here once. Then I saw him in America. Nooo dogs. Quarantine laws. Though he could have freeze-dried them and put them in dog-shaped flight-cases. Anyway, CLEAVE IT WITH AN IRON SLICE!" 6) Old Pervert Lyrical play - "Come little one is your name Ivan...etc." 7) My Mind Is Connected The little coterie of fegs present were unanimous that this is the best new song. 8) Insanely Jealous 9) I Wanna Destroy You 10) "Even though we wear open-necked shirts. Look, no medallions. Welcome to our little village of wah-wah" and into Only The Stones Remain. 11) Human Music The only song, which, to my mind, started the tour splendid and ended up dull. 12)" There's a faultline in this song where we don't know if we go up to F, no, G sharp...The song's about a wave of people who came through and killed the people who were there before"..

Everyone apart from Kim (who could stand in for the Duracell bunny any day), seemed to be on their last legs, but throwing their final reserves of energy into it all the same.

Youre kids sound great. it will be interesting to hear what they produce when they start generating their own stuff. Happy belated anniversary. I have a really really dumb tech question. So ignorant I at least hope some of you will find it amusing. Ive copied CDRs to CDRs, Ive put M3ps on CDRs. But can one copy a regular CD onto a CDR? Quail: Love "Victorian Squid." That and "Keeping Still" are, for me, the stand outs on "You and Oblivian." Thanks for explicating why I love it so much. It reminds me, seems of a piece, with the prose thing Robyn wrote about the Glass Hotel(where was that?) Has anyone read Michael Moorcocks's "Dancers at the End of Time" series? It has some Victorian stuff, and somehow feels abit similar.(Ahhhhh! I wrote this right after reading Quilie's scibe. Then 4 messages later Godwin chimes in with this exact same thing. Holy fuckin shit;-)(By the way Godwin, this is my favorite of the Moorcock series. Love it.) Also Quail, thanks for articulating for me something I knew but didnt know I knew. Which is pointing out that Robyn's personal mythology is consistant, therefore you -can- grok it(which is perhaps why smoke comes out of my ears when people dismiss his stuff as "mere nonsense".) It manages to be personal and idiocyncratic, yet open up on the universal. Its wonderfully paradoxical, by becoming more induvidualistic humans can become more connected(thru dreams, thru minds, thru the substratum of our being.) I also like what you say about the sinister but happy aspect of Robyn. He knows how aweful it can be but still says "yeah." That takes alot. And that means alot to me. And, per usual, great Borges quote;-) And Jill--I think Tropical Flesh Mandela ties in with "Victorian Squid." Also, bout 'Balloon Man" --for me I sorta remade it to suit a need, so it wasnt a sell-out at all. In fact, its become important for my personal mythology. This has been argued on the list before, so I realize this is just my personal take. I've lost alot of people to Aids, and for me it works as a morning song. I think of the protagonist as a gay guy cruising the 42nd St area and having encounters, which now involve condomns ,and thinking how ridiculous it all is, and remembering a dead friend, but continuing on. Dancing thru the abyss, so to speak. And Glen-- "Its Not Just the Size of a Walnut" I think (well, for me) he's talking about how large the feelings are which he has towards the person to whom the song is addressed. Dave: >(I still can't hear that song title without thinking of Mike >Keneally's "Bob Dylan's Nose" - which is an entirely different >thing.) You have to tell me about this. You have to tell me about this. From one side(the others straighter) I HAVE BOB DYLAN'S NOSE, you know, like on the profile poster that came with Greatest Hits. The fact that it was Dylan's nose, was, believe it or not, partially why I -so- resisted gettin a nose job when young. TELL ME ABOUT THIS SONG!
