I cannot resist the conjecture that your earliest (and clearly traumatic) experience of sex came while barging in, when you were supposed to be in bed, on a babysitter and her secret lover who were making the beast with two backs on the couch while the french connection played in the background; said experience fundamentally altered the development of your (still nascent) sexual drive so that today, arousal may only be achieved in the presence of gene (or a suitable gene-substitute, including video and celluloid images of gene). I'm right, aren't I?

I still wouldn't call "I Used To Say I Love You" an IODOT track, but given that a number of Fegs seem to regard CD bonus tracks as being a true part of the album -- I'm still shaking my head about it, years after we discussed it -- I'm probably swimming upstream on this one.

She's not on the list, but as it happens this person is a friend of mine, and I passed your message on to her. She appreciates being thought well of by a stranger. However, she thinks you must have mixed up two people in your story, because she does not have and has never had a Madonna of the Wasps shrine. The collar and cuffs of the Eye jacket started disintegrating three or four years ago, but she had them repaired. As far as I know, the Eye jacket is still in occasional use. I have witnessed people trying to buy it off her at RH shows. Actually, she was the person who introduced me to RH's music in a substantial way. I had only heard "Balloon Man" before encountering her nearly complete (at the time) RH/SB CD collection. - -- Charles NP: Papa M, _Papa M Sings_ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 May 2001 14:52:24 -0400 From: Ken Ostrander Subject: Re: that love thing >listening to hitcock during randiness would be like >trying to be in the mood while playing some jonathan richman >it just doesnt work! ever listen to 'you must ask the heart'? it works. i would guess that his all-spanish album would probably work too. ken "i was dancing in the lesbian bar" the kenster ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 May 2001 14:57:16 -0400 From: Ken Ostrander Subject: Re: Cave/Stipe/Part >>>Some of Cave's vocals sound unpleasantly strained, as if we're >>>too close and can detect too many stretches. >> >>I love the album, but I agree with this.

Something innocous on WXRT, probably. Through the distractions I do recall thinking that "Brown Eyed Girl" would have been somewhat appropriate, since we were out behind the Stadium at school. On the first date with my wife-to-be it was Side 2 (that's cassettes for you) of 10,000 Maniacs "In My Tribe." It had been out for a few years already and I wasn't a particular fan of it one way or the other, but this cute girl I had dated on the bounce had REALLY liked it...so much so she took my copy to Australia with her. She ended up returning it to me out of the blue several months later, and that was the copy I had in the car when Kathy and I first went out.

I wasn't planning on picking it up - I have no need for demos of an album that I'm only lukewarm about, and having heard the AV1 demos (carbon copies of the album versions), I thought "Homegrown" would be the same sort of thing. But maybe not...? I agree with Steve (for once) that "Wasp Star" is far too decorous for an album that was supposed to rock out. But what do you expect from anal studio geeks who haven't played live in 20 years? Unfortunately my copy of WS got unmercifully scratched up in a moment of stupidity, and is now unplayable. Which means I have to shell out $15 for an album that I only like half of. That's about $2 per good song!

Good point. They won't be getting away from Old Man Willow to begin with, unless the entire loop from Buckland to Bree is whacked entirely, in which case the entire Old Forest and Bombadil's house conveniently disappear with the swipe of a backspace key.
