(other symptoms of >> >Michiganitis deleted) > >Milwaukee is a strange area in which "soda" predominates despite being >surrounded by "pop" advocates in Illinois and Minnesota. a strange question for you all (in US, UK, wherever): Is New Zealand the only place on the planet that calls these things "soft drinks"? FWIW, BTW (IYSWIM), there's very little regional variation in New Zealand, although the further south you go the more you get a slight Scottish burred 'r', and the distinct Maori vocal stylings (including the Canadian-like use of 'eh') become more prominent in the Pakeha (Europeans) in the far north and other places with big Maori populations. The only real difference that I can think of other than that is in the name of the place I live - the city of Dunedin in the province of Otago. Non-Dunedinites tend to pronounce all the vowels, dun-EEE-din, to rhyme with "fun readin'", but locals ignore all but the e (d'nEEd'n). And Otago, which to most rhymes with embargo, in rural parts of the province tends to rhyme with lager - oTAAger. >> My dad (who is from Oconomowoc, WI) one of the world's greatest assonant placenames, along with Woolloomooloo, the island of Kiritimati, Songololo, Analalava, and Hakataramea.

Glen: >>One of at least four on the list that I know of. Tom Clark, Mike Godwin >>and I are the others. And me, too, if that wasn't obvious from my Byrds, Hillman and general country references of late. I always hear those FBB harmonies as co-leads, really, so Hillman's voice as a solo artists seems to emerge a little bit later in my mental chronology of things. Haven't listened to anything on headphones for, hell, I dunno, a decade or so. BTW, it's not Hillman's voice that ruins "From a Distance", it's the sheer fucking awfulness of that song and the fact that I resent owning a copy of any version of it. ____ Jason: >>I've only been to the LA Knitting Factory once or twice, but I rather liked >>the venue. My grievance against it is that it has the inconvenient combination of getting pretty much the best bookings in LA for touring acts these days, and also being a general hangout for really annoying Hollywood bastards who like to talk really loudly through acoustic sets. That's been a problem at probably half the shows I've ever seen there. It did result in a bit of bizarre interaction between the audience and the artists when I saw the Go-Betweens there. Grant MacLennan seemed content to shrug it off, but Robert Forster abandoned his guitar during one song, got everyone else to play quieter and quieter, and stalked to the edge of the stage started whispering and pointing accusing (and very long) fingers towards the chatterers at the bar. He's a strange guy, Forster. I guess it would be okay for the SB's, though. Didn't hear much yakking when I saw the Fall there. At least the HoB usually has decent sound, though.

De-lurking here to promote a couple of hidden jems by one of my favourite artists, one of which is related... how many Tanya Donelly fans are on this list? Belly recorded their own version of Hot Burrito #1 - one of my favourite all time songs - as a B-side on the Gepetto Remix E.P. And it's exquisite... for me, it even betters the original. Juliana Hatfield provides the harmony, and the whole arrangement and feel is simply spine-tingling. Belly were one of those great bands that put out quality B-sides, and I bought all the singles because I knew I'd be missing out if I didn't. Their other outstanding cover - Trust In Me, off the Feed The Tree CD single. Jungle Book to melancholic Indie has never been done so well - I doubt at all! If you like inspiring cover versions, definitely check these out.

Joy unbounded. Ain't the net great? It seems my memory of the event is a little mixed up, since I said they played Give It To The Soft Boys after the interval, when in fact they opened with it. And it seems they didn't pay Anglepoise Lamp after all (it's neither on the album nor on the song list at The Asking Tree). But I recognized Sandra's Having Her Brain Out, Human Music and I Like Bananas, and also seemingly familiar were Book Of Love and Have A Heart, Betty. Further researches this evening indicate that there were two Portland Arms performances around 1978-79, so I can't completely discount the possibility that I went to the other one. I don't remember the subjects of the inter-song monologues at all. But two songs triggered explosive memories: My Eveline and That's When Your Heartaches Begin. Unless they were both performed at both gigs, then the recording must be of the evening I attended. As I listened to the latter, in particular, I immediately knew I could expect to hear an extended spoken extemporization during the middle eight. I'm not sure if I remember the sax at all. Does anyone know who was playing it? I infer from the chatter on the recording that the line-up that night was Hitchcock, Windsor, Rew and Metcalfe, which is also the line-up my other researches seem to indicate was the one I most likely knew. The Asking Tree (http://www.jh3.com/robyn/base/) lists some Cambridge gigs from my era. Another correction I should make is that the gig I thought was at Trinity Hall is likely instead to have been at Lady Mitchell Hall. I defintely also went to one of the gigs at Alex Wood Hall (hardcore punk audience for that one). The Alma gigs appear to be completely missing from this list. Thanks to all who have welcomed me and helped me. :) Cheers, Igblan ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2002 21:53:01 -0500 (CDT) From: Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey Subject: Re: And you must be from...

Very common here in the US. As a known term, yes. But as the common, preferred one? It's a restaurant-menu term (like "beverages" as opposed to "drinks"), and at least around here, not used in people's daily speech. That is, people would look at you oddly if you said, say while gassing up your car, "hold on a sec - I'm going into the store to get a soft drink."

And the rounded bodies were new and ghastly looking creatures, in shape somewhat resembling an octopus, and with huge and very long and flexible tentacles, coiled copiously on the ground. The skin had a glistening texture, unpleasant to see, like shiny leather. The downward bend of the tentacle- surrounded mouth, the curious excrescence at the bend, the tentacles, and the large intelligent eyes, gave the creatures a grotesque suggestion of a face". - - MRG ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2002 09:34:37 -0400 From: "Bachman, Michael" Subject: RE: Dylan for Dollars glen uber wrote: > >>>I am a huge Gram Parsons fan. > >> One of at least four on the list that I know of.

CW Post has some interesting programs, what the Phipps have done with Westbury Gardens is lovely. Then the North Shore has wonderful villages further out and there are still farms on the North Fork.
