Are you kidding? > From: Ken Weingold > Subject: Re: TNT? Are you kidding? > > What is the US equiv of TNT, Gene? My TNT is Australian. AFAIK, TNT was released only in Australia. It was produced by Vanda and Young and recorded at the same place the Dirty Deeds and High Voltage sessions were. For some reason I think TNT may be a repackaging of the High Voltage sessions; AC/DC often had different recording contract requirements for their albums and would remix or repackage them for different countries (like the two mixes and pressings of Powerage, f'rinstance). That said, I believe High Voltage is the closest US equivalent. I have TNT and High Voltage on vinyl, I think I'll pop them on the 'table tonight. .

Heartily disagree (of course). Anyone want to defend Wes for me, I'm feeling a bit lonely out here. Wes Anderson: yes, the cinematography, scene dressing, etc are wonderful -- each frame is its own well-composed painting. But the writing is very strong. The "creepy stalker 'romantic comedy' description is probably apt, yet the film is hilarious. Bill Murray puts in probably the best performance of his career -- incredibly understated, especially for him. Jason Schwartzman is great, I mean you didn't even like the "plays"? And, about The Royal Tenebaums, "a little more bearable" is so so wrong. This is another superb film, with a great ensemble cast. Anyway... From: "Rex.Broome" >One presumes Greta has run screaming from the list by now, but I liked Ed's >non-musical list of coolness. But nobody covered literature; this list is a >pretty good book club in its own right. Very true, but there's only so much I can chew on at once. Besides, my point was that comics ARE literature, so I did cover it to that extent. In fact, "Leviathan" was a fegbook recommendation to me in the first place. While we're on that topic, I recommend Chris "my Dad's a cadaverous right wing ideologue" Buckley's new one, "No Way to Treat a First Lady" -- political satire/farcical courtroom drama. Probably not as funny outside the Beltway, but I like it. Still, nothing comes close to "Thank You For Smoking" -- so, Greta, if you are still there, that's one I'd pick up (same author). It's a comedy/satire about a lobbyist for the big tobacco companies -- the scary thing is that a lot of the unbelievable "they couldn't do something that low!" stuff he writes about turned out to be true or nearly so later on. Good stuff. From: "Greta Swann" >Like, I can't believe cool >people like you will tell me what the really cool stuff is you >listen to . Its like you are all cool dudes but don't >care that I'm not cool yet. THATS SO TOTALLY COOLIO! The cool kids >at school are all snotty and laugh at my hair and stuff, >and wouldn't talk to me because I don't own enough Alien Ant Farm. >Now I can show them! I LOVE you guys. You're like so cooler >than cool. Well, here's the thing. I, for one, am entirely NOT "cool," and I'm very comfortable with that. Pretty much all of the human beings that I find worth spending time with (including online time) are, in fact, active or recovering geeks. Take one of the "cool" kids at your school, move them through time to the year 2008, and the 2008 version of the "cool" people would laugh at their clothes, music, slang, hair, etc. If "cool" is so dependent on changes in fashion, it's not "cool," it's just marching in lock step with the latest fads. Screw that. If people laugh at your hair, you must be doing something right (or, at the very least, something YOU like, which is more important). It's far "cooler" to find what you like and stick with that. (eventually, you will find that the people considered the "coolest" are the people who do their own thing, regardless of what the rest of the world thinks of their choices.) Plus, those of us who like "cool" stuff that basically no one has ever heard of aren't interesting in keeping the secret, but would love to see the artists we so enjoy sell a few records or books or whatever (unless it compromises their art and they get churned up in the big money making machine). [stepping down from soapbox now, sorry]. Oh, and since we're talking so much about "cool," I heartily recommend that you seek out the tune "Jesus Was So Cool," by King Missile. ("Jesus could turn water into wine. That's so cool. And if he wanted to, he could have turned wheat into marijuana or sugar into cocaine Or vitamin pills into amphetamines..." -- not that I'm advocating taking these drugs, I just like the lyrics!) it's on the "Mystical Shit" LP, on the Shimmy Disc label. You might even find it at Tower, but almost certainly at Amazon. >Like Dylan and the Beatles my parents listen to so I'll >totally pass on them, but I'm totally charged to find out >more about some of the other stuff. A lot of websites have >like a few free downloads so that way I can listen to cool >stuff. And maybe Ill tell Brian about them. IF HE'S NICE, >LOL watch it, there's quite a few parents around here, myself included. This may be a waste of time, but here goes: as "uncool" as your parents may be, they like some great music there. My folks listened to Laurence Whelk, OK? (my Dad actually bought a Buddy Holly single in '55 or '56 -- which, thank god, he kept all this time), but he didn't like it! The Beatles and Dylan are where it all begins -- they're like the headwaters of the Mississippi up in Minnesota, and everybody since (including, in particular, Mr. Hitchcock and the Soft Boys) flows into or out of one of the many tributary rivers flooding down to New Orleans. Or something like that. Also, I would note that the album recommendations you are getting are all over the map -- from soft folky stuff (Nick Drake) to classic metal (AC/DC) to experimental electronic/pop (Brian Eno). It might help if you told us what you already like, or at least what styles of music -- not that you shouldn't try to broaden some of those horizons, but I doubt you're going to leap in and enjoy Tom Waits, Johnny Cash and Yo La Tengo all at once (although, I must say that I saw Yo La Tengo open up for Johnny Cash a few years back and it made for a very pleasant evening. The hardcore Johnny Cash fans were a bit perplexed, however.) From: "Montauk Daisy" >Welcome Greta. Its good to hear another female voice. Have you considered >The Goo Goo Dolls? They're a definite step up from Brittany. well, first of all, it's Britney, OK? And, second, the GOO GOO DOLLS? Kay! Let's not work in baby steps here, we're trying to take Greta on a great leap forward! >I probobly should not be polled on cool music, cause Im definatly more in >the high geek section than the cool circle. In fact, my geek theory is that >cool was invented by geeks for protection. Dig much under any epitome of >cool and Ill wager you come up with a geeky freak or a freaky geek  or a >poser. Your choice. This may actually tie in with Robyn's remark from one >of the interviews or show reports -- that most songs are about the singer's >prowness at love or protection. Cool makes great protection. Yes, yes, yes! Kay is spot-on here & considerably more eloquent that I was on this same topic. And Kay, geeks make and enjoy the best music. Wear it proudly. And I count you as one cool geek in my book. And, Greta, Kay's a cool geek MOM of a 12-yr old girl, so watch what you say about discounting parents' musical tastes! - -ed "it's 6:30 pm already? oh, yeah, so that's why I switched to the digest at work" poole ============================================================================This e-mail message and any attached files are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the addressee(s) named above.

Strings Pulse of My Heart Narcissus When I Was a Kid Disconnection of the Ruling Class Unprotected Love Chinese Bones Anglepoise/Severed Winged Bat Man with the Lightbulb Head Insanely Jealous I Wanna Destroy You Underwater Moonlight _______ ? (One of the above songs) If You Know Time ____ Memphis Blues Again Om (the actual closer) Thank GOD it was as good as it was because it was really expensive and I was not feeling well at all. Got to meet a few folks from the list which was very cool (hello, all!), managed to get a hot tea at the bar, and perched my ass on a stool to watch the show as my ability to stand was fading fast. Good view and nice sound balance, so it worked out fine. Eventually felt decent enough to graduate to beer. Eb: >>I was in a pretty grim mood to see *any* show Confirmed. My introduction to Eb went like this: Jason T: This is Rex. Eb: (looks at me in horror, shakes my hand, turns to his friend) ...his last name is Broome. (ends interaction) Sorry about the dog, dude... Midge Ure: not sure which of the Minutemen Eb was referring to (Hurley?); I was thinking he looked more like Moby. Anyhow, he's got one of those voices we just don't produce in America-- clean but with almost too much body for its own good-- and a little goes a long way. A fairly one-note perfomance but okay as these things go. "Do They Know It's Christmas" was just weird, though. Couldn't tell if it's meant to be tongue-in-cheek at this stage of the game or not. Soft Boys: this was the first time I'd seen the band as a whole. A very different experience from Robyn solo OR with the Egyptians. Robyn and Kimberly clearly have a great time playing off each other. Robyn's playing was a whole different game from what I've seen before. Almost all lead figures or partial chord voicings way up the neck-- rarely even a full barre chord and almost never any open chords as in his acoustic playing. Kimberly was really having fun and just so endearing and fun to watch, bouncing around like a young Beatle (and with the right haircut), shaking his Stratocaster around for sustain, etc. In a very short time- especially after hearing those ringing and slashing bits on ther older songs reproduced with so much vigor- I pretty much reached the conclusion that no Robyn-in-a-band scenario would ever seem complete without Kimberly again. Quick notes/observations on the songs: - -"Queen of Eyes" I agree this has gotten a bit perfunctory, although the dedication to Arthur Lee kind of gave it an initial charge last night. - -"Strings": Somebody mentioned Matthew twiddling his tuning pegs to get those weird sounds on "My Mind"... well, he does it on "Strings", too: double duty on the E and G pegs, in fact. The song in its live version has gone from its kind of shambling, unsettled feel on the record to something downright stomping and menacing. - -"Chinese Bones": Kimberly replaces Peter Buck's redundant Byrdsism with something a little Stonesier, and those hinky-sounding synth-chimes have become big shimmering tremelo'ed harmonics. Very nice. I did miss some of the original bass figures, but Matthew played around with it more than he had that morning on KCRW. Missed opportunity for some nice tangled-up dual guitar at the end, but maybe they figure they'd better not push it. - -"Mr. Kennedy": Matthew got more actively involved in the raveup at the end to really interesting effect-- a whole new chord sequence was starting emerge. Nice. - -"Man with the Lightbulb Head": Has anyone mentioned that Kimberly plays the vocal role of "Junior" on this song? Very entertaining. RH & KR also surprisingly faithfully reproduce the tossed-off sounding out-of-key guitar parts from the end of the recording. - -""If You Know Time": I really like this one. More straight-up power-pop than most SB's songs, new or old, but that's fine; it sits nicely next to "Destroy You". Tabbers take note: looks like Robyn tunes his high E string down to match the B on this one. Robyn alluded to this performance as an attempt to record it and as such spent a little time getting his delay/vibrato pedal to the right speed; sounded like a good take to me. "Unprotected Love": This came right after "When I Was a Kid" and was described as "the opposite song". (The between-song patter was kinda sparse in general. Possibly because tape was rolling?) "Underwater Moonlight": Great spoken word bit with dramatic accents from the whole band, especially Kimberly (who really can apparently play just about anything)... Robyn describes descending deeper and deeper, tossing in LA area codes at certain depths-- "Forty fathoms-- Area 323!" etc. He then descended to 818 (the Valley) and ended up at "Area Code 310" where he described sunken cars full of bloated bodies on the Santa Monica freeway. The 626 (Pasadena) and 213 (downtown-ish) area codes somehow escaped the wrath of Robyn's deluge. Anyhow, it was great-- unlike QOE, this old chestnut lives and breathes and smacks ya around some. "Memphis Blues Again"- someone pegged this as "too long" as a cover, but I would say more "too unbroken"... verse after verse of just vocal and one guitar break for KR at the end. Not bad and even kind of sweet, but the Boys don't quite own it. "Om": Yup, it's the poppy flipside to "Strings". Made a pretty good closer. So, they taped it. Seems like the live record may come at least partially from this tour after all... Now... gotta vote... take some decongestants... sleeeep... - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2002 21:24:00 -0500 From: "R. Edward Poole" Subject: Soft Boys DVD Releases well, unofficial, anyhow. With the recent Soft Boys tour providing the motivation, I finally finished the DVD-R editions of: 1. Soft Boys in Baltimore, March 19, 2001 (1 disc, 66 min.) -- video shot by me, audio recording by Larry Tucker (two songs by bayardo), edited & mastered by me w/ iMovie 2 & iDVD 2.1. 2. Soft Boys in Boston, March 26, 2001 (2 discs, 112 min.) -- video shot by Ken Ostrander, audio recording (phenomenal) by Stefan Cooke, edited & mastered by me w/ iMovie 2 & iDVD 2.1. The great thing about these recordings is that the original crappy sound captured by the video cameras has been replaced by excellent audio recordings made by various fegs, which are the ones you've probably heard if you have CD-Rs of these shows. (Stefan's Boston recording was treed last year, in fact). The result is full stereo sound, which is very nice if you have your DVD player hooked up to the stereo... I'm offering these up for trade or blanks&postage (or the equivalent in cash, about $6.50/disc), on a first come, first served basis (I have a stockpile of 4 copies of each ready to go, but any more than that will take a week or so -- the next time I'll be able to get to the Apple Store for more blank DVD-R media). For trades, I'd (ideally) like to get other DVD-R concert recordings in return, but I suspect there aren't too many out there (yet). For CD-R trades, I propose trading on a 2-to-1 basis because blank DVD-R media costs about $5-6/disc. if you want a copy, check here to see if your set-top player (if any) will play it: http://www.apple.com/dvd/compatibility/ (note: this list hasn't been updated much over the last 9 months, so if you have purchased a dvd player in the last year or so & your manufacturer is listed as a "yes" for prior models, you'll almost certainly be able to play it). Another good place to check, if you don't see your DVD player at the Apple site, is: http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdplayers.php I've found that these discs also play well (most of the time on computers equipped w/ DVD-ROM drives, at least those manufactured in the last 1.5 - 2 years. If none of this works for you, I can also dub to VHS, if you prefer. Finally, if Stefan and Larry are out there: you get free discs for your contributions; if you want 'em, let me know. - -ed ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2002 21:35:13 -0500 (EST) From: Jill Brand Subject: already gone that route To whoever wrote: > Tell me this is Eddie Tews in disguise...
