Oh yeah! I like this. I can probably guess there are a few here who might not. But you gotta admit this is alot better (or at least different) than the Dub Ant Woman. Yeah keep this boyfriend.

Pout. After I spent several hours on it. So anyway, I would like to see it used some. If you don't have any alternate lyrics that you remember, just make some up! Though if you do, please mention it in the "where" field so that if others actually take it seriously we can tell the difference. http://newts.org/~vail/feg/index.html jv ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 03 Sep 2002 10:34:13 -0400 From: "ross taylor" Subject: she laughed a laugh that echoed around the fortress Mike Swedene-- >"Just wait till you see the statues in my bathroom" >am I missing something or is this just filler by the man? I believe this is a habit of certain types of people -- I want to say British upper-crust, but maybe their immitators as well. You put all your decent works of art in the house proper and put the nudes in the bathrooms. I know I've seen this in at least one British household, & my father did this at home either as a form of Anglophilia or a joke or both. My mom still has at least one bathroom w/ various Botticelli & other nudes on the walls, including a reproduction of "Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time" which is rather disturbing. And I don't think there are any nudes elsewhere. Oh, wait, maybe in the basement. And that cupid in the garden. I think modern Americans more & more don't put any pictures in bathrooms, except grandmothers who hang one small pastel of ducklings; or singles who tuck their sweetie's photo into the mirror.

Or it could be a reference to the 1970s (or earlier) now-unrepeatable joke about the nouveau-riche immigrant who wanted a statue in every room of his mansion ...

I noticed two Soft Boys make an appearance on the 1980 release "Lounge Music." -Andy and Gerry Hale (played violin(?) on Underwater Moonlight). Allmusic.com says nothing of this band, so I'm just wondering if this stuff is worth finding. Anyone own of heard this stuff? Soft Boys: Here's a mention of them from 1976. At the top left. I wonder why there is no mention of Robyn. http://www.shpltd.co.uk/cfc/history4.html Anyway the list is sloooww...

Glass frog paperweight, along with two other paperweights in the counter, Groucho Marx rubber duck on the back of the toilet, and one of those smithosonian reproductionish things of a painting that I'm too lazy to really look up, but it has a black background with a couple red flowers in vases in my case. ===== "If we don't allow journalists, politicians, and every two-bit Joe Schmo with a cause to grandstand by using 9-11 as a lame rhetorical device, then the terrorists have already won." -- "Shredder" "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt .

Sorry the guillemets were translate by smoe. I mean "Stars On" with that ponctuation. "those Stars On forty five/keep partying you mind/but we can work it out/remember twist and shout" They were such big succes in Quebec doing Pink Floyd and Beatles with a dance beat, but not in your country also? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2002 21:33:14 -0500 From: steve Subject: Quail gets his wish (NR) Locus reports that Universal has started pre-production on Childhood's End, which they purchased from Clarke in 1953 for $20,000. The studio won't be paying any more rights money, but Clarke's agent has gotten him a mid-six-figure consultant and advisor contract. I'd much rather see them do The City And The Stars, but that's just me.

Start saving your pennies folks. The fuzzy warbles series now numbers 12 albums. The first two will be appearing in October, Andy and Colin will be compiling and mastering shortly, I've heard some of the stuff and its fantastic. Tracks like Young Marrieds, All The Peach Songs, Wonder Annual, Art Songs (Something Good With Your Life), Im The Kaiser, we're talking about 250 tracks in total. - Idea Records, 06/21/02 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Sep 2002 00:08:48 -0700 From: "The Real Mr. Feg" Subject: remix reload remove relax Eclipse: > http://www.tspigot.net/robyn.mp3. > > i understand it may not be to everyone's tastes, but i'd love to > hear feedback that i can pass on to him. :) Whether or not it's to everyone's taste, B my dear, (and it certainly is to mine!) this is a awesome piece of work and quite obviously a labor of love. Add my thumbs-up to the feedback pile. You should definitely get this to Robyn. I'm sure he'd get a kick out of it. :) Ed: > I said "so, you must be eddie." ... Thanks for the great story. I'm thrilled that the 'ol site is useful as well as fun. Me: YES! FEGFOTOS.COM is finally loaded up!! Welcome aboard and change your bookmarks. Yes I KNOW it still needs updating. Work is frantic just now, but I'll get everything shipshape before the SBs tour. (Just in case there's still someone out there who doesn't recognize Eddie!) Once I get my own site back up I'll stick a redirect there, but for now you'll have to fix yr links or type the URL. If you spot any glitches please let me know. I had to fix a few upper/lower case typos now I'm on a proper UNIX server where these things matter, and it's possible I missed a couple. The prog rock thread: Yay! Proggies rule! Fegmaniax' secret vices are revealed: Gong, Caravan, Gentle Giant, Soft Machine, Hatfield and The North.
