The Reggae Song had a chorus along the lines of: "Ooh cover me in butter, ooh take me to your lord" which may have survived as an alternate title. Anyone heard/got this? Also - Midnight Oil. I know their two more famous albums, what do you think of the rest? Things to get/things to avoid? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 11:04:12 -0400 From: "Thomas, Ferris" Subject: OT: Other Brit stuff... FYI: Went to go see Cinerama the other night down at the Knitting Factory earlier this week. I had seen them twice before--most recently back in November--and they put on an excellent show Monday night. I was a bit miffed that I missed the openers (AM/FM and Lois Mafeo (who I've been itching to see since 'Butterfly Kiss' came out) but Cinerama played an unusually long set. Anyone who doesn't know (or cares) the lead singer's the front man from the Wedding Present, David Gedge. They've managed to mingle in a few Weddoes tunes on this tour, as well. Three on Monday night if I remember right. When the first disc came out a while back it was quite a departure from the earlier stuff but they've managed to hone their sound and it's a lot louder (read: more like the WP) on this tour. I'm going to take in their Thursday night show down at Maxwell's. Jen Toomey from Tsunami (fantastic, IMHO) is opening up for them. ______________________________________ Ferris Scott Thomas programmer McGraw-Hill Education 860.409.2612 ferris_thomas@mcgraw-hill.com (email) Friday or Saturday, what does that mean?

They show him heading overall in a >direction >that too few have gone as of yet. Agreed agreed. And if its true that Robyn has a Cap rising he will age very well in terms of what he produces. Caps arent really comfortable being young--they feel out of place(think of his young man comments.) Yes--I cant think of another musician working now who can touch The Speed of Things, You and Oblivian or the whole celebration of the same time and place thing you get in Jewells for Sophia(he's old enough to know both its value and its rarity.) I actually think he may be developing ... wisdom? Thats not something you normally see in rock n roll;-). Drew on Robyn: >Totally open and porous, because the images are incomplete glimpses, >songs start and end unexpectedly, truth is fleeting and sinks and >rises. >Definitely quality stuff, but not in an airtight gleaming >statue Apollo >way. Wow, like that. And maybe it ties in with what Susan said. Auden had a great line in his "Under which Lyre", a poem he wrote for a graduating class at Harvard in which he advises them to follow Hermes instead of Apollo. It ends with "Read the New Yorker, take short views and trust in God." Well-obviously option 1 aint what it used to be and option 3 dosnt apply to Robyn. But 2--take short views? Robyn does exactly that. He goes for the minute particulars of a feeling or a situation with no attempt to make it conform to any Ive-got-it-all-figured-out great theory of life. And isnt that partly what adulthood is about? Realizing everything is never going to be tidy? There is no future when everthing will be perfect or completely understandable. That tends to be an illusion of youth. There is only the incomplete imperfect now--so live it fully. >I'm glad what I'm trying to spout makes so much sense to you! Well-it very much makes sense. And youre whole idea on why badly made stuff is sometimes so mesmerizing--thats something Ive wondered about but hadnt been able to come up with a clue. Bayard, thanks for sending out Hedblade's bit.

I know their two more famous albums, what do you >think of the rest? Things to get/things to avoid? Assuming that you think of DIESEL AND DUST and BLUE SKY MINING as the two more famous... The two that precede DIESEL AND DUST and BSM are IMO their two best: 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 (1982) and RED SAILS IN THE SUNSET (1985). The music is remarkably varied in both, as though the Oils don't really distinguish between punk and art rock, and thank God they don't ("Outside World" in particular has always made me think "Pink Floyd!" but in a totally good way). On both, they play with incredible dynamism and an ideal balance of precision and emotion. RED SAILS in particular knocks down every target, sounding a bit dancy on "When the Generals Talk," ripping the hell out of rockers like "Best of Both Worlds" and "Kosciusko," creating a chilly disconnected atmosphere for "Harrisburg," serving up a postmodern rockabilly shuffle for "Helps Me, Helps You" (think the Clash's "The Leader"), and concluding with the singular cacophony of "Bells and Horns in the Back of Beyond" and "Shipyards of New Zealand." Heck, there's even a jaunty horn instrumental, "Bakerman." I haven't even mentioned "Sleep" or "Who Can Stand in the Way?," which defy description and may be the two best songs on the album. Did I say that each of these songs' musical atmosphere is the perfect compliment to each songs' subject matter? Well, I meant to. Get the SPECIES DECEASES EP while you're at it. EARTH AND SUN AND MOON (1993) is my next-favorite, a welcome return to propulsive, biting rock after BLUE SKY MINING's sojourn in Midtempoland. Don't get me wrong, BSM's songs are great, but the pacing drags. I was no more fond of the all-ballad all-the-time format in 1990 than I am when I listen to REVEAL here in 2001. E&S&M announces that it's something different from the first ominous rumble of "Feeding Frenzy," and it doesn't let up for the whole album, aside from the personal and beautifully-sung "In the Valley." MIDNIGHT OIL (1978) and HEAD INJURIES (1979) are their earlier, punkier albums. Even then, what they were playing was not as straightforward as comparable UK and US punk. They're still worthwhile releases, but these are the albums that interest me the least. PLACE WITHOUT A POSTCARD (1981) sees the emergence of the sonic complexity that would dominate 10,9,8 and RED SAILS. I like this one a lot, especially "Armistice Day," but it seems to have gotten less than an enthusiastic reception from fans and critics. Their last two studio releases have disappointed me. BREATHE (1996) is supposedly a "back to basics" attempt, which is not an ignoble idea. Unfortunately, the only thing flatter than the production is the songwriting, and only "Surf's Up Tonight" has lingered in my mind. REDNECK WONDERLAND (1998) sees the Oils struggling to create a new, perhaps more industrial/fierce sound, and sometimes they win ("What Goes On" and "White Skin Black Heart"), but more often they just sound confused ("Concrete," "Comfortable Place on the Couch"). The collection 20,000 WATT RSL is well-selected and the remastering sounds good enough that I wish they'd go back and redo the whole Oils catalog (though to me, the CDs of 10,9,8 and RED SAILS were already improvements over the vinyl -- both albums went well past 45 minutes, and the resulting narrow grooves on the LP versions created less than ideal results, particularly toward the end of sides). The splendid SCREAM IN BLUE live album would be another good starting point. There's an import live album called THE REAL THING which has most of their 1993 MTV Unplugged show, plus other tracks; it's nice to have but not essential. later, Miles ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 09:04:25 -0700 From: "Andrew D.

Guilty as charged (usually I'm right there with the overused cliche hit squad, so I deserved the stab). And Tracy Jacks is a wonderful song. No, no, I never said any of these Britpop bands had the talent of the Kinks, just that I had heard of them because of the Kinks comparisons. Trying to convince me of Kinks' greatness is like trying to convince Eddie Tews to go to an RH show.

I also like NIGHT COURT, the Three Stooges, the surreal second season of THE JOHN LARROQUETTE show, the absurdly digressive parts of the Coen Brothers canon (i.e., RAISING ARIZONA and THE BIG LEBOWSKI have it all over FARGO and MILLER'S CROSSING), and lots of other ridiculous things. I completely understand if folks find THIRD ROCK's unabashedly, insanely, completely over-the-top goofiness to be grating, but I enjoyed it immensely.

I know it's been a long time since I posted (or updated Fegbooks for that matter) and I know I've been invoked a couple of times (sorry about that - out of town & on the run), but I am actually still here and reading every digest. I will soon get to the task of updating fegbooks, which is here: http://members.nbci.com/SheRex/fegbooks.htm Nbci bought out Xoom, but the old URL still works, too, so any links should be ok. A few questions for you all about Fegbooks: 1) should it all stay on one page for ease of copying, or would you rather see a different page per letter of the alphabet (it is by author)? 2) I had trouble with some of the posts about authors - well, mainly the Dave Sim ones because thanks to certain people it got a bit more personal than I want that page to be. It can get difficult separating the comments about authors and their works from personal comments about and digs at each other. In such cases, I am likely to get annoyed and leave it all out. Maybe for those authors, fegs can just email me off-list what they would like to actually appear on the page for the world at large to see. Of course, anyfeg is welcome to email me anytime with suggestions or additions for Fegbooks as well. Thanks! Also, I've got a new email address. The lycosmail one was still supposed to be active but suddenly stopped working the other day, so I thought it would be good to give you my new one: She.Rex@mail.com Haven't changed it on the Fegbooks page yet. I've been bouncing lycosmail emails left and right - good thing they're cheaper than bounced checks! Sorry, woj, for the bounced digests. I can't get to my lycosmail account to unsubscribe it and have already resubscribed with the new address. So if you can, just get rid of the She.Rex@lycosmail digest subscription to avoid those annoying messages. Thanks again! Kay - good to see other gardeners on the list! This is my biggest (and most expensive) hobby. I grow roses, herbs and anything that looks good here in south Florida. During the cool season, most of our vegetables come from our garden. The whole operation is organic, of course. This year I am trying to extend the food supply year-round with some exotic (to us) tropical veggies and more fruit trees, but that's hard on a 75'x100' lot with a house plunked in the middle making shade. I have a gardening page at: http://members.nbci.com/SheRex/ourgardn.htm which will also be updated soon. Not all the links on the left side work - just the underlined ones. Finally got Underwater Moonlight - the 2 CD set because it was cheaper and I want to listen to it in my car. I love it! Wow! Can't believe I hadn't tracked this down earlier, but then again it would've been on vinyl anyway with no bonus tracks. Nothing against vinyl except I'd have to make a cassette dub, yada yada. Still missing Mossy Liquor, too. For shame! See, Drew, lots of us like to do that every subject at once thing - it's just so much easier! And I agree T.Rex and most other best-loved bands' lyrics can be pretty dumb and it doesn't seem to hurt our enjoyment of their music at all.

I missed Wingspan, but on recent visits to my Mom's I've been renting my way thru the B-tals Anthology videos, & it's hilarious how much of Paul's commentary is done while he's piloting a boat (?!). In some shots you can just see a guy hunched beside him in the wheelhouse, I guess to grab the wheel in case he gets carried away w/ his glory days. It really needs Python /MST3K type sound effects of people yelling at the boat, screaming, & the propeller chopping something squelchy. As a Beatul I sometimes think Paul was the most radical, introducing all that melody & song craft. Also, when X.J. Kennedy put Eleanor Rigby in his widely distributed 1967 poetry textbook, he assumed it was John's song, as did Amy Clampet & a couple of other mainstream poets who've referenced it. Paul wrote good lyrics before aliens stole his verbal brain & he wrote Mary Had A Little Lamb. Drew's "art-that-lets-you-in" post-- Another vote of appreciation. But--some stuff, like fairy tales, folk songs or great modern things in that mode, lets you in even if you know nothing about the maker and his/her scene. In this it's like the statue of Apollo that is self-contained but you can still relate to knowing nothing about the sculptor. But some art lets you in, but only if your're part of that scene. I've banged my head against this wall w/ country music some. I respect it, wouldn't have gotten rock if it hadn't been there, & it's sure got loose ends, but I'm not really welcome there (or I wasn't when it mattered).

I'm sorry to say it, but this would be a great album if Brian wasn't on it. The band is excellent, but it's painful to hear Brian sing, and even more cringe inducing to hear him talk.
