It's not quite this bad for me -- I recognize most of the bands, but I don't give a shit about them, and the shows I want to go to are either too expensive, nostalgia-dripping reunion shows, bands which are liable to put me to sleep live, or all three. With Wotapalava being cancelled I have zero shows lined up in the next few months. Depeche Mode, Roxy Music, Madonna, Radiohead, David Byrne, the Doves -- all shows I wouldn't have minded seeing, but either I couldn't get tickets or I didn't care enough to try. It's sad, because now that I finally live where you can count on good shows all the time I can't get motivated to go see them. I'm about to turn 27. Everyone in the office has me pegged as some hip music savant and they're always shocked when they mention some tedious electronica wunderkind and I yawn. I try to explain that my musical taste is running backward rather than forward but it doesn't make any sense to them. > So, how does everyone here fight this? I'm not.

Now, WHERE did I > put that cookie recipe... Who cares? I mean, who needs cookies when you can make ...SCONES!!! LEMON-CARDAMOM DROP SCONES - ---------------------------------------- INGREDIENTS: 2 cups of ordinary flour 2 teaspoons of baking powder 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom seed 1 stick of butter, preferably the "sweet" kind 1 copy of "Queen Elvis," preferably on CD 2/3 cup of sour cream (any kind will do, including fat-free) 1/4 cup of plain ol' white granulated sugar 1 reasonably large egg 1 teaspoon of lemon peel (like Mrs. Peel, but made with lemons) 2/3 cup of extra-moist baking raisins Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cardamom in a large bowl and set it aside. Then add the butter to all this by cutting it into the mix with a pastry cutter, or if you don't have a pastry cutter, by pulverizing it into small granules in the mix with your fingers. If you don't have fingers, well, you've got bigger problems than what to have for breakfast. Preheat your fabulous new oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, and press "Play" on the CD player. Put the sour cream, sugar, egg, and lemon peel into another bowl and blend it all together with a spoon. Then dump this mixture and the raisins as unceremoniously as possible into the dry-ingredients bowl, and stir it all together with the spoon until it turns into a nice sticky dough. You can also use your hands if you're in a hurry. Finally, place 1/4-cup sized lumps of the dough onto ungreased cookie sheets. The yield is usually between 10 and 12 scones. Bake the scones at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes. If you're any good at this, "Veins of the Queen" should be playing when you remove the scones from the oven. SUBSTITUTIONS: Instead of raisins, you might try using currants or diced prunes. You can also try substituting plain yogurt for the sour cream. Also, if Tony Blake throws too many interceptions, you might put Aaron Brooks in instead. Just remember to wash your hands before you actually eat anything. Nobody likes a dirty-handed scone chef!

This thread has taken a noticeably wicket turn... The last time we were in London, the wife and I headed up to Lord's on a lark. I was anticipating wandering the museum, doing the "hallowed sporting ground" kind of thing since I had (and still have) no appreciation for the game but figured it had to be worth seeing. Turned out that day there was a Test Match that day of the English women against somebody or other - maybe South Africa - so we went in. It was, and I mean this in the nicest way, unremittingly dull. Seemed to be a very civil game, people were cheering politely (though when nothing seemed to have changed in the field of play)...but not being an aficionado all of the subtleties which I'm sure had to be present were invisible to me. And it was slow. Really slow. Reminded me of that old Python routine where the bowler (is that right?) bowls to a batter who doesn't even move, and it is complimented as a ball "very well not done anything about." So I get your drift there, woj... We ended up having a nice day, though, buying fantastically overpriced crap food and wandering around the place. Michael "and the fridge is on to bowl to the Chesterfield" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 11:24:51 -0400 From: the other white meat Subject: comes with a smile review i'm told there is an interview with robyn in the latest issue of cwas as well, but it does not appear to be on the website. The Soft Boys | Underwater Moonlight / ...And How It Got There (Matador) 1980, a brave new world had dawned and anything seemed possible. We know from history it all went wrong, New Romantics swept away guitars in a drone of synthesisers and bad funk riffs, but this is how it should have sounded. Reissued 21 years after release and packaged with a bonus disc of rehearsals, allowing you to compare the rough with the smooth and giving an insight to how they honed such a classic, the main event itself IS a masterpiece. The blistering, opening salvo of I Wanna Destroy You, all loud guitars and harmony vocals, swirls into Kingdom Of Love, the re-mastering shining up the instruments, unlike the sleazy I Got The Hots, which was meant to sound grubby. With such a record how could the eighties have gone so wrong? Matthew Seligmans throbbing bass trundles Insanely Jealous along while Robyn Hitchcocks, menacing vocals stalk you, inflamed by crazed axes that subside as quickly as they arrived. The rehearsal version lacks some evil, despite Hitchcocks screams of jealousy got a hold of me, but its still an uncomfortable listen, having the same claustrophobic euphony. Tonight has a chill about it, as if something lurks around the corner and listen closely to Youll Have To Go Sideways and youll hear an embryonic Yo La Tengo making notes. With the original, vinyl, Old Pervert long lost from the archives, this version still sounds like its wearing a dirty mac, just with underwear beneath, despite the guitars, a blazing duel between Robyn and Kimberley Rew, two of the greatest players locked in a battle for the last chord, fuelled by Morris Windsors franticly controlled drumming. Four tantalizing fragments of this are on disc 2, each showing, no matter how its recorded, its brutal, the pieces scattered throughout, as if by putting them together a terrible power would be unleashed. Then theres the perfect pop shining of Queen Of Eyes, sub-two minutes of bliss that has never been bettered in guitar based jangliness. The liquid burble of the title track has a hard act to follow, but pulls it off, signing out with a wave of guitars and vocals again. The rehearsal version is rough, but more than ready, almost eclipsing the legendary Two Halves version, meandering off and nearly collapsing before pulling itself together for the finale. The bonus tracks are the same as the Ryko reissue a few years ago, adding Hes A Reptile for good measure. Some from the Two Halves For The Price Of One album, like the rattling Theres Nobody Like You and the great seafood ode, Where Are The Prawns?, others singles and B-sides, but all are of a high enough quality not to sound too overshadowed by the album itself. The other rough tracks turn up some diamonds, noticeably the velvety pop of Like A Real Smoothie and the bouncingly joyous Goodbye Maurice Or Steve, an absolute gem which wouldnt have been out of place on the finished album, its worth the money alone. Elsewhere theres a Dylanesque She Wears My Hair, the dark blues of Wang Dang Pig, the pulsating Leave Me Alone and Alien, a loping Cherries and the creepy Amputated, leading to a rampage through Roxys Over You. A couple of extracts only serve to annoy though, leaving you wanting the whole song and overall, the extra disc doesnt add anything, but itd be hard to. It does give a sense of where the band came from, harking back to the Can Of Bees days and its raw, melodic, new wave feel. The fans will love it, the rest will be baffled, but the Soft Boys were all about that. Listening now its easy to see the influence the album had, keeping the guitar sound ringing until the American invasion in the mid 80s. Has it stood the test of time? Yes, absolutely. Will we see its like again? As Robyn says at the end of disc 2 No, probably not.

(Or Robyn.) Unfortunately, since I am no longer a radio DJ, I don't have first crack at new releases, so my record-buying has been reduced to a trickle, and I too am forced to depend on word of mouth and records played on store PA's. The Pernice Brothers record was the last thing I bought, I think. It's become an art, trying to figure out whose taste to trust. Folks here are pretty reliable, although it depends on the individual. The kids on the Elephant 6 list usually recommend forgettable indie-pop crap - remember, these are the people who adore the Music Tapes - so I can't rely on them. In my green and leafy youth, I trusted the Chalkhillians, and ended up with the Chills (hurray!), Peter Blegvad (double hurray!), and... Yazbek (insert vomiting noises). So it's all very tricky. Jeff Mangum says "aeroplane" instead of "airplane" because it scans better. Try singing "And our ashes will fly from the airplane over the sea." Doesn't quite work. n. p.s. To me, "MAC" = McMinnville, where my employer's sister campus is located. p.p.s. To those who were just dying to know, my band's first gig on Friday night went pretty well. We only really goofed a few times, and despite a heady dose of "opening band syndrome" (people standing up front and staring blankly), some folks actually danced. And glory of glories, I didn't break any strings! So all in all, a fairly auspicious debut... - -- Natalie "destroyer of plectra" Jacobs gnat@bitmine.net ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 16:54:54 +0100 (BST) From: Michael R Godwin Subject: Re: Cricket (no RH content) On Wed, 18 Jul 2001, Mike Wells wrote: > It was, and I mean this in the nicest way, unremittingly dull.

Unless you had a troublemaker like Odoreida (in Stephen Potter's 'Gamesmanship') who learned to bat both left-handed and right-handed, and changed round after each ball, so that the field had to swap six times an over! (would've been even worse in Oz, of course). If you really want to learn what cricket is about, get a copy of P G Wodehouse's 'Mike at Wrykyn', or the original bigger novel 'Mike', which also incorporates 'Mike and Psmith'.

Yes, it is isnt it? I find it interesting that someone(thou someone with admittidly superb taste--as witnessesed by their fegdom;-) under 30 already feels so cut-out from the vast marketing scheme. One reason I like this list is because it gives me tips on what Id call smartpop, which is a category I tend to go for, whether its from the 30s, 60s or double aughts. Once my computer woes are fixed I hope to use the radio feature to find new neat stuff. I daydream a Feg radio station, with all our different personages programming shows: The Great Quail/White Rabbit Radio Hour, live from New York, with special ghost readings by James Joyce; The James Dignan It Aint Cricket Chill-out; The Viv and Capuchin Viva Viva Anarchists Showcase; A Can of Gnats; Ross Taylor's Dark Green Blues .... and the ever-sacred Bayard's Rarities Hall of Fame. Wouldnt it be grand? Ross: Youre a poet. You know it. Thanks for showing it:-). Agree that if a work is properly constructed the frisson of suprise is so well built up that knowing the ending dosnt spoil it. The universe dosnt care. But humans can. Thats our weird beauty and triumph. I love alot of what Roeg's done, its intense violent stuff. But I dont go to him for philosophy. His nihlism isnt affirmative enough:-). Carole: Since we're in the summer doldrums, how about declaring Scumbag Week, where we all tell amusing stories ridiculing the empathy-impaired, those absurd creatures so bent its hard to believe they ambulate without falling over.(All the time, of course ignoring the irony of our callousness to the the plight of these poor truely Evil Guys and Girls;-). I once had a boss who was so bent(HOW BENT WAS HE???) he was so bent he used to slither out into the front room, crawl behind and between desks so as to to sneak up and set the clock back 5 minutes. All this to get 5 minutes more work out of us. The fact that he was young and supernally handsome(he looked like a young Terance Stamp and knew it)seemed to only made this manouver all the more silly. We used to set up trash cans, chairs, used tissues, etc in his path just for the sheer joy of pretending to ignore his awkward efforts to negotiate the obsctacle course. We talked bout setting up far ruder stuff indeed, but human decency, alas, forbade us;-). So Carole--just how pathetically evil was this old boyfriend:-)? Till I dig thru some more old digests...
