Just cause someone splashed about on the Web on the other side of the puddle ... Well, thanks to the list I see Robyn's contemplating a disc of Dylan covers. This pleases me immensly and weirds me out since as I was reading it I was concurrently searching on Morpheus for ... Dylan covers. Abit ago I decided my next home-made CDR would have my favorite Dylan covers on it. I am faced with myriad choices, but so far using nothing but my old-fogy "I like it" litnus test, these may go on it(Titles may not be official; asterix means definite:-): Byrds-- You Aint Going Nowhere*** All I Realy Want to Do* (I know I could include more, but these are my two present faves.)

Tears of Rage? Peter, Paul & Mary -- Too Much of Nothing************************** (Fairport also does this but this is the version I imprinted to early. Its in my blood.) Fairport Convention -- Percy's Song*** Manfred Mann -- Might Quinn* Hendrix -- Watchtower Robyn -- so much how do I choose?*** Now--can anyone suggest more recent stuff I dont know about? Or just plain stuff I dont know about? Are their good covers of :One Too Many Mornings, Love - 0, She Belongs to Me, Like A Rolling Stone, Takes a Lot to Laugh, Highway 61, Tangled Up in Blue, Simple Twist of Fate, Desolation Row, Visions of Johanna, One of Us Must Know, Sweet Marie, Sad-Eyed Lady, I Dreamed I Saw St Augustine, Tangled Up in Blue, Simple Twist of Fate, Lily, Rosmary and the Jack of Hearts, shelter from the Storm? My big debacle is "Ill Keep It WIth Mine." I love the song and both Nico and Fairport do wonderful versions ... but not nearly as good as Dylan's.

Oh, man, do I hate that. I must say that I don't know MOST of the songs on Through the Looking Glass in their original form. This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us - Sparks Hall Of Mirrors - Kraftwerk Trust In Me - Disney's Jungle Book This Wheel's On Fire - The Band (though Siouxsie didn't know it at the time and thought she was covering Julie Driscoll) Strange Fruit - I just know the Billie Holliday. Is there another? You're Lost Little Girl - The Doors Passenger, The - Is this Bauhaus or Iggy Pop? Gun - John Cale Sea Breezes - Roxy Music Little Johnny Jewel - Television (which explains the silly line "She's just trying to tell a vision") So... are these correct? I'm pretty sure we just discussed this, but if I like the lyrical content of Gun (and I really like the Banshee's driving beat on this song, whether it's in the original or not), what would be a good first John cale?

Really this is just a response of sorts to Stewart's reporting of the two microphones 'learning from each other.' From Storefront Hitchcock video, EOL intro: "I don't come from anywhere particularly, but as much as I come from anywhere I come from this diamond shaped island at the bottom of England. It sort of slots into the bottom as though England was laying an egg, and it's this diamond shaped egg which is the Isle of Wight. There are very beautiful bits of cliff and beach there, but it's very soft. The bottom of the island is disappearing at the rate of about ten feet a year. This stuff just goes and it doesn't seem to come back. So I worked out that the cliffs that I pace in a hundred years time will have disappeared completely and my ghost will be fifty feet above the beach. And there must be other ghosts out to sea, and as you go further out to sea their costumes change, and you've got ghosts from the 60s about 20 feet out, and you've got World War II ghosts just beyond that and you've got Great War ghosts with their gogles, and Edwardian ghosts with their mantles and Victorian ghosts with their cravats and canes, and Jacobean ghosts with their *legs* -- it just goes back on whatever they had, those things to stop them from smelling too bad. And I guess about a mile out there's Cro Magnon ghosts just clubbing each other to death and grinning. And I guess there's gonna be a few more of those inland as well. This is a song from my ghost to those which walk underneath it -- which may be computers, actually. If any of you computers are watching this in 50 years time, we're the people who put you here. We're God, we're terribly sorry. You know our God never apologized to us, he made us bow down and fucking worship him for centuries. Everytime he slapped us in the face we'd have to go 'Oh, great is thy mercy, oh Lord ... have another sacrifice. I chopped off this arm, will a leg do? Elmer! Cut off the leg!'

Yes. I had the same issue with Dear Prudence the other day. A friend said some band, but I forget which. A LOT more recent than the Beatles, though! > This Wheel's On Fire - The Band (though Siouxsie didn't know it at the > time and thought she was covering Julie Driscoll) Bob Dylan. - -Ken ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2001 13:18:21 -0500 (CDT) From: GSS Subject: Re: overinflated thread > hell, i can even enjoy a decent bar band. i guess the problem for me is when the music seems secondary. i was really thinking of the talentless faces that get crammed down our throats by the big record execs. see...i didn't say corporate...damn! Hey Splangies, Thanks for reminding me!! My band is playing at the Cadillac Bar at the West End Market in Dallas on Friday, September 7, this year, from 9pm till they make us leave. We play an all original blues and rock set but on occasion we slip in Promises by EC, Suspicious Minds by EP or something else that nobody will expect. Shit, I guess we can't play those songs now. But then we'll play just about any song if the price is right. And if it's from one of the way under appreciated bands like Wilco, Jane's Addiction or the Neville Brothers, we would probably do it for free. gSs np-Outtasight(Outtamind), wilco ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V10 #317 ********************************
