Just a couple of observations to add to Rob's... Robyn had a very odd pick-up arrangement for his accoustic - a little mic taped to the sound hole... not sure why, as it amplified the pick striking the strings, making a hollow click on top of the strings' usual sound... I thought the drum kit and (particularly) the double bass did indeed bode well... When Robyn appeared, shirt untucked (still working on losing that Christmas excess, I guess) he introduced the gig by saying that we'd all be made to feel comfortable by the songs he was going to play - sure enough when he started with Gene Hackman, I immediately did feel very comfortable - I first saw Robyn live in 95, in the midst of his accoustic troubadour phase so it took me right back ( actually as a footnote to this, I thought when I first saw him, solo, accoustic, that this would be the extent of Robyn gigs forever more. I had assumed that the Soft Boys had melted away forever, and that the Egyptians had pulled away from the platform, leaving me forlornly spectating Robyn+accoustic forever more - how wrong I was!). The introductions to the songs, I noticed, especially in this early part of the set were as long and rambling (needless to say, of course, entertaining) as they have been for a long while, and Robyn's mood seemed to be smiley and pleasant, in fact almost nervous despite the fact the songs were being exceedingly well received. As for the backing band... I'm reliably informed they are Rich Hall's Otis Lee Crenshaw band, well, bassist and guitarist, and of course Morris. Now this was weird - why have Morris up there (this is assuming Robyn wanted something that was identifiably different to the Soft Boys ( When I Was A Kid was the closest they came to SBs material)) and not Kimberley (who was in the audience!). I thought the guitarist on stage, though a more-than-capable session man, was a pretty poor alternative, and in a way kind of masking the fact that this seemed to be The Egyptians-Andy M. Perhaps I'm over-analysing this gig... Chinese Bones I thought was fantastic, never having seen it live+electric before, as was When I Was A Kid (I believe, for you trainspotter-obsessives, it was the Gravy Deco version). The rest of the set was much more within the range of recent RH gigs, except The Devil's Radio, which wasn't this song at all, but actually Diving Aloud (Radio Storm)... great to hear live, but disappointing the bassist couldn't manage the proper bassline. Winchester was exceptional, as was Airscape, for all the reasons Rob gives. Ted, Woody & Junior was a surprise, but (for me) a novelty rather than something ever hoped-for. So You Think You're In Love was introduced as being a song Robyn had written for the Rutles. Jewels for Sophia was the strangest version I'd ever heard, less driving than the original, in fact it was downright funky... like RH covering Curtis Mayfield covering RH... most odd. Overall, it was the erm, "loosest" Robyn gig that perhaps I've ever been to, I think a very good one in terms of what they played, and a quite good one in terms of how they played it (and who played it, or rather, in Kimberley's case, who didn't...). One last point - all the electric guitar by Robyn at this gig came from a black Strat... that poor blue tele relegated to being the other guitarist's spare... Perhaps we've been spoiled by all those Soft Boys gigs...!

I love that weird timing, insistant rhythm and melody line. Its aggressive folk guitar. There's a spare assertiveness and streangth to it. Sounds more like Carthy than Thompson to me.

It was really good, though too short and a little shy on biographical details. Unlike the Drake biography, it included interviews with Drake's sister Gabrielle (a glamorous 50-something woman who bears a noticable resemblance to her brother) and his producer Joe Boyd. These two had refused to participate in the biography but apparently are not averse to being filmed. Grabrielle Drake in particular offered some interesting insights, such as Drake's musical indebtedness to their mother's songwriting. There were also some interesting interview clips with Drake's string arranger Robert Kirby and engineer John Wood - in particular a moment where the two were discussing Drake's death; Kirby kept stroking his beard nervously while Wood was completely stoic. Paul Weller offered a few complimentary words about Drake's music. He needs a haircut. There were some cute home movies - Drake was blond in his youth, and seemed like a cheerful enough kid. Tapes of Drake's parents were used as voiceovers - most of that material was used in the biography - and much of the rest of the documentary was taken up with atmospheric shots of the countryside around Drake's family home while Drake's music played. I could have done with a little less of this, but it was pretty and well-filmed. The most horrifying part of the movie was a simple shot of a photo I'd never seen before, from Drake's last photo session. He was rail-thin, slumped on a park bench, hair matted and greasy, with his mouth hanging half-open, staring off into nowhere. This is what depression looks like. Distractingly, the entire film - including song lyrics - was subtitled in Dutch. It was the first time I'd seen a subtitled film where I had to try and *not* look at the subtitles - though I did look, sometimes. In Dutch, the title of the film was something about an "Engles Tragedie." Indeed. But before all of this, the unfortunate audience had to witness a "mockumentary" called "Atlas Moth," about a slightly dim-witted heavy metal band in Minnesota. The film would have been funny if it was about half the length - the pacing was just abysmal, draining any humor that might have resulted; for instance, there were endless dull scenes of the band members pursuing their various hobbies (photography, raising atlas moths, and working on trucks, respectively). Also, the dippy lead singer was depicted as having some unnamed mental illness, which was played for laughs. Ha ha, mental illness is such a hoot! Oh man, I can't stop laughing! The Drake documentary (in which mental illness was most certainly *not* played for laughs) took the bad taste away, fortunately. n. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2002 10:16:16 -0800 (PST) From: bayard Subject: Re: CDRs hey squid, comp.publish.cdrom has an answer to this i bet. an a somewhat similar note, a friend of mine claims that DVD-R and VCD discs need to be burned a a minimum high speed, htat they won't look as good if burned at slower speeds. any truth to this? he says it's true cos "someone from MIT told him" - -- http://glasshotel.net ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2002 10:29:57 -0800 From: glen uber Subject: Re: Steeleye Span grutness@surf4nix.com earnestly scribbled: >Polly on the Shore definitely sounds like a Steeleye Span song.

Thanks to our new computer I even have something to play it on. I did think back to what someone here said about the distracting surreal inserts in the live footage. I don't find it too bad, some of it's even cool. I've never seen footage of Stonehenge covered with hippies before. I really like the juxtaposition of the band songs w/ IODOT material, it appeals to my love of White Album/Who Sell Out eclecticism. I enjoy the passioned lip-synch of Sounds Great When Your Dead (my current fav RH song) & even more passioned lip-synch of Surgery ... but are those Robyn's lips? THe lower lip doesn't look prominant enough ... Least fav things about the DVD -- camera tricks w/ images of performers, i.e. bringing two halves of Roger together in time for him to hit a chord. Benny Hill did a video w/ that sort of stuff. My second DVD, quickly following, was a $9.99 copy of Sweet Toronto, D.A. Penebaker's film of the 1969 festival featuring the Plastic Ono Band. Well, he finds some good shots, but the opening acts & Yoko are more exciting than the Main Star. Lots of boring close-ups of John's beard. In a similar vein I rented the recent re-release of Stomping Ground, a concert film from 1970 most notable for Family performing Drowned in Wine, plus a song each by The Flock and Dr. John in full Night Tripper regalia, as well as T. Rex, The Byrds, Pink Floyd, Canned Heat, etc. Tons of boring tight head shots w/ lots of boring psychedelic blurred orange -- think the most widely known cover of Electric Ladyland. Maybe all these boring head shots make me appreciate the playfulness of the GLTHO video. I remember falling asleep to tons of concert movies like that in under-heated after midnite theaters. Also rented REM's 1st video, REM Succumbs. I liked that tho the "experimental" shots of kuzu & windvanes drove my wife bonkers. Felt I saw connection between the Driver 8 video & the IODOT video, tho obviously Robyn doesn't know the Chessie System (I once almost got carried out of town while climbing over a coupling).
