I suddenly feel bad about treeing out still available tunes. Uh, buy >the book too! It's worth it! (end of sales plug). Nuppy I strongly agree, buy the book, if you find it. "A Middle Class Hero" has been, from what I've seen, sold out for quite a while. Amazon is down to selling used copies, it rarely shows up on eBay, and Robyn doesn't make a cent on re-sales anyway. The tracks I had more hesitation about including were from the tribute albums that are still in print (Skip Spence, Ernest Noyes Brookings, Paul McCartney) and one of the tracks from the Young Fresh Fellows (the other was from a promo-only disc). I figured that if anyone got interested in these particular songs, they might go out and buy the album. I think that "Live & Direct" is still available, but I don't remember where I got that one. I always try to get an actual copy of any recording rather than ripping a lot of MP3s. I don't have a problem with trading MP3/WAV/etc. files (when I have time), because I think it stimulates interest in an artist which leads to getting more of their stuff.

In intent, it was more like "fanboy poking fun at his own propensity to post at length whenever Buffy is mentioned, and the irony of Eb now mentioning Buffy not long after being 'scared' by said fanboy's last Buffy outburst." But it might not have come off altogether successfully. Personally I found last night's episode a bit slow and unfocused, not as gripping as the last three or so, but very moving and important in regards to the series' overall story development. I thought SMG's and Eliza's performances were both great, and the big argument at the end was genuinely upsetting (if a bit talky).

My impulse answer is gonna be "Superman," off Queen Elvis.That's the only Hitchcock song I can think of which really puts me in pain. Second place: maybe "Wafflehead"? Mull Historical Society was quite good tonight, though the dead ambience (tables and chairs, mellow KCRW audience) kinda sucked the life out of the room. Colin played acoustic guitar(s), while his friend filled in the gaps with keyboards. Colin played keyboard on just one song near the end, and I was somewhat disappointed that his form was strictly functional/dilettante. However, I didn't feel like any instruments were "missing" at all, and the main keyboardist was prone to finger those arpeggiated jingle-bell licks which I'm always a sucker for (if you don't know what I mean, think of the Velvet Underground's "Sunday Morning"). The last song was a cover tune from Radiohead's Kid A, but I've only heard that album once so it wasn't familiar to me. MHS' songs are so close to being fantastic, but they don't quite get there (well, *some* do). I like the chords, the clever arrangements and the music's flowing momentum, and the guy is a more interesting lyricist than most Beatles/Beach Boys stylists of his kind. But I dunno, it may come down to the melodies themselves. He seems to have a somewhat limited range as a singer and, too often, his melodies just seem like five-note scales trickling up and down. Not too imaginative. As for the new album, I wish it wasn't sequenced such that the first track is the knockout, and it all seems like a gentle decline from there. While hurrying my way down Hollywood Boulevard on the way to the venue, I looked to my left, looked down at the CD I was carrying and realized that I was walking next to MHS Colin himself. Funny coincidence. So we small-talked during the remaining block of the walk. Another case where I was struck by the radical difference between someone's accented speaking voice and his "Americanized" vocals. After the MHS show, I was hoping to zip across town to the Viper Room to see Venus Hum, but first I had to drop something off at Lawndart's place on the way. By the time I found parking and all, the time window for the show was closing. Oh well...it was a packed itinerary from the start. We watched "South Park," instead. Fun postscript: Driving back home and looking for a quickie late dinner, I inadvertently found myself in the right location and had a "world famous" Pink's hot dog for the first time in my life. Been meaning to do that for ages. It also might have been the first chili dog I've ever eaten. No kidding. Enjoyed it, though. At 11:15pm, there was at least a dozen people waiting in front of me. Amazing. Eb, who really needs a sound, uninterrupted night's sleep lately (and why are there so many twittering late-night birds around here in recent days??) ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V12 #161 ********************************
