The former is not such a preposterous proposition, as Buck's enthusiasm for All Things Hitchcock, not to mention his many collaborative ventures with Robyn, is well documented. As for the latter, read on... After ingesting too many cocktails during the flight to the UK, Buck whipped out his notebook computer and started catching up on e-mail. As he opened up Eudora, what should appear before him but Eddie's latest installment of the Adventures of EveryFeg's Favorite Angelino. Like most Fegs, Buck could not help but laugh audibly while he read Eddie's accounting of Eb's antics. Unfortunately, due to Buck's inebriated state, his cackles and hoots were unduly loud, drawing the ire of his fellow passengers and, after multiple "shhh"s failed to quiet Buck, the attention of the flight crew. A prim stewardess appeared beside Buck's seat. She took in the sight of Buck sprawled across two first-class seats, literally rolling with drunken laughter, flecks of spittle beginning to pool in the corners of his mouth. "ummm... Sir?" she tentatively ventured. "Are you all right?" Buck, thinking he was sharing the joke, bawled out "YOU FUCKIN' A-HOLE! TICKLE MY NUTS, BITCH!" Buck then arose and acted out Eb's "accidental" bumpings, bowling over the unfortunate attendant. The rest, as they say, is history. later, Miles ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 May 2001 13:48:21 -0700 (PDT) From: Viv Lyon Subject: crying On Mon, 7 May 2001, dmw wrote: > Several times, for example, after the woman I had been living with for > nearly seven years and I split up.

Or maybe the correct term is "proggers." Certainly don't mean to offend anybody . Does anybody have the new Ozric Tentacles album? Favorite prog discoveries lately: Spocks Beards new album, V is real nice. Its good to hear young bands with chops who choose to emulate Porcupine Tree, instead of Creed or Black Sabbath. I also heard Frank Zappas Hot Rats for the first time recently, after ignoring it for fifteen years. Dang, dont I feel stupid for that. And I just scored an excellent condition copy of the vinyl on Ebay for $10. Deadwood Forests album Mellodramatic is a real corker, too. Well, the sound bites of it Ive heard are good; still trying to figure out how to snag a copy of it. Mmmm, mellotron. Anybody else have it? Also finally heard Matching Mole, too. Wow, thats good stuff. Cuneiform is about to reissue a long-lost recording of them in concert too. Cant get enough of Khans album Space Shanty either. I love that Canterbury National Health/Hatfield and the North kinda stuff. Other proggish bands whose product I intend to buy real soon: Le Orme, Catapilla, Art Bears. And Tool is opening for King Crimson? Phew. King Crimson plays a whole lot more notes than Tool, right? I can imagine a lot of perplexed Tool fans wondering who those weird old jazz guys on stage are . Wonder how many Tool fans will run out and buy Magma albums after that show? Yahoo!

Which probably means it's a rousing return to form. I wouldn't know what my favorite musical year of the '80s is. However, I do know that I own more albums from 1987 than from any other '80s year. Not sure why. I also own about twice as many albums from the late '80s as from the early '80s, but that's probably a function of freebie intake as much as a reflection of the growing "alternative" movement. It also may illustrate my hostility to the U.K. eyeliner/hairspray pop which was so prominent during the first part of the decade (see previous "1984" post and the above comment about Echo & the Bunnymen). The concept of picking music for crying purposes is alien to me. I might play certain albums when I have a bad headache or can't get to sleep, but my temporary emotions just don't govern my musical choices so directly. First-name basis with celebrities? I think it's a reflection of name uniqueness more than anything else. Just look at the afternoon talkshows -- it's practically *mandatory* that you need a unusual first name to be successful (Oprah, Montel, Ricki, Rosie, Geraldo), so that daydreaming housewives can refer to you by one over-familiar name. This may also explain why the Cosby show's Tempest Bledsoe (sp.?) was briefly cast as a talkshow host -- the single most ill-suited host I've ever witnessed. "Rufus," "Robyn," "Tori" = unusual names. "KaTe" users are beyond help, however. That's a whole 'nother pathology. ;) I always grimace when people say "...and the rest is history." And adding the self-aware "as they say" doesn't help at all. ;) Childhood influences: Pass. My gawd, the new Foetus album is staggering. Probably the best thing Thirlwell has done since Hole (speaking of 1984). Just wait until you hear it, Gene.

Comedy record. Probably has more to do w/ my love of the Stones, cf. "High and Dry" or "Faraway Eyes." However one episode of the Andy Griffith Show did feature the Dillards playing "The Whole World Round" while being carted around in the back of a pickup truck like The Monkeys. Old, Fegish Movie-- "The Deadly Invention" now called "The Incredible World of Jules Verne" by Czech Karel Zeman. It looked like 19th century lithograph illustrations come to life. Interiors of huge submarines that looked like Victorian drawing rooms with giant squid out the windows (or fish, like in Dwarfbeat--that song also has a suit of armor out at sea). Subs powered by sexual- looking pistons ramming each other sexually in underwater tunnels that look sexual. Worked on my child mind something awful. Reaching way back to the thread of fav songs-- Fairly recent songs-- "Feels Like 1974." This works like an anthem or something for me, like "My Back Pages" turned inside out. Maybe you have to be close to Robyn's age to dig it, but in 74 in some ways it seemed like the good guys had won, but there'd been huge collateral losses in the "movement." And 70s fashions were so ugly. "Antwoman." How a nasty, vengence-provoking memory can be appealing, or enlightening. The whole insects/molluscs lower-life-forms thing isn't just whimsy, it reminds me of how Gary Snyder, Timothy Leary , Robert Bly would talk about the mammal brain & the reptile brain. Some hokum involved, but still the idea of different levels of thought...I'm convinced humans are major parallel processors...

I loved those Rock Yearbooks! I bought mine from those book warehouses that sold all the overstocks at rock-bottom prices (i.e., what are now "bargain books" at Barnes & Noble). Those and the Trouser Press Record Guide were my bibles during the 80s and early 90s, helping me root out so many of the bands I love these days. I didn't come upon Echo & the Bunnymen until late, about the time McCulloch started his solo career. I love their sound and Mac's voice (and his incredible, gorgeous pouty lips) but I've never been _in_ love with them. My favorite Bunnymen songs are actually Babybird songs. :) >I think a little less of Echo and the Bunnymen nowadays, especially after >reading Julian Cope's autobiographies with their devastating critiques of >Mac, I definitely want to read Cope's autobios someday, but can you give me a foretaste of this material? >From: "Natalie Jacobs" > >I've always had this sense that more female artists than male artists get >called by their first names - e.g. Tori, Ani, Kate, Kristin, Sarah, etc. >For instance, the perpetual signs up in Ann Arbor record stores: "All Ani >records on sale!"

But of course there wouldn't be signs saying "All Smith records on sale" either. :) You hear about Mick and Keith at least as often as Jagger and Richards, I think. You can't just say John, Paul, or George unless the context allows you to infer Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison, but of course you have to say Ringo, never Starr. With Prince there is no choice, and no one says Collins instead of Bootsy, I'm sure. So I think it depends -- on what's most distinctive, for one thing. DiFranco works; Amos and Bush might be a little weird. If I say Robyn, no one assumes I mean Alfred Hitchcock. I don't much like saying "Ani," though, partly because I got fed up after the one-two punch of Up^6 and Fellow Workers and stopped buying her records.

Oh, please. If you want to feel guilty about anything, feel guilty about Air Supply. I am able to love music I don't respect (and, to a lesser extent, vice versa) -- not everyone has this wonderful, blessed ability -- but I for one am glad I grew up listening to the musical antitheses of Creedence Clearwater Revival. >I intend this with no disrespect meant to the original poster, who is an >unwitting casualty of that Era Of Radio Consultants and Playlist >Restrictions, but the following quote is confirmation that my >discontented instincts at that time were unfortunately correct: > > Styx's > > touching, subtle android love song "Mr. Roboto" was > > the first 45 I bought...

A recent trip to the local indie record shop (Streetlight Records in San Francisco), where I spied several box sets and compilations of fave' bands (I purchased Joy Division's "Heart and Soul, a worthwhile compilation including all of their studio albums, B-sides, and various out takes.), combined with the recent threads of childhood influences and critical years in album/band releases has caused me to think about how and why I listen to the music I do. My parent's record collection of opera (Mom was Italian born and bred) and various sixties lounge records didn't do much to inspire my musical sensibilities. It wasn't until I began toying with an old stereo (walnut encased tube amp and tuner with JBL 66 speakers for the gear heads among us) that got passed on to me and discovered that, if the planets were aligned correctly, I could, on occasion, pick up KUSF and The Quake (whose call letters I've long since forgotten). KUSF is the University of San Francisco's radio station. The Quake was a "commercial" station, though it's advertisers were pretty quirky for commercial radio even then. Through these two channels I was exposed to music from the more mainstream side of 80's pop--Duran Duran, Flock of Seagulls, REM, B-52s, The Police--to less known bands such as The Cure, The Smiths, Buzzcocks, Public Image Ltd., Joy Division, Bauhaus, Romeo Void, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, and Maurice & the Cliches (wish I could find that 12") to the tail end of Sf's punk heyday with now "famous" bands such as The Avengers and the Dead Kennedys. I wasn't so much prepared for listening to Robyn Hitchcock, as led down a path that made such music available to me. As for a best year, I'll opt for an era: 1977 thru 1984. Many of my favorite albums were released during that brief span of time. When I look at the musical landscape that confronts me today, I mostly feel disappointed, but that's another topic.

If they are to be happy- of course not. That is one of the reasons I gave up performing.

Oh, believe me- I don't place their feelings over my own. I cry copiously, if restrainedly. The occasion that I recently mentioned (leaving my place in the audience to compose myself) was an anomaly.

He observed that with all its ups and downs being a musical performer was still a lot better than working on an automobile assembly line, and if you didn't believe him you could always go have a look for yourself. I have some sympathy with shyness and with nerves and with being afraid of crowds. I understand that some of Robyn's fans are scary and why he might be scared of them. But I also understand that he didn't have to choose the career he chose and that his lot in life could be a good deal more unpleasant than it is. loveonya, susan Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 07 May 2001 17:46:34 -0700 From: "victorian squid" Subject: Re: what's in a name?
