I consciously chose not to post anything about Luxor when it came out, thinking that it would grow on me as NDL did and then I would be able to report that it had got me in the end. This hasn't happened yet. Anyway I then just lost the habit of posting, other contributing factors being lots of work and enough stuff going on at home to keep me away from the computer. I've been reading some of the posts in the meantime. Physcially I've been, as ever, in Chippenham with breaks to Mountshannon and Lyme. Musically I've been buried in a large quantity of Viv Stanshall stuff ( 3 CDs filled with Rawlinson End sessions and a couple of solo albums), revisiting the Bonzos and enjoying some old Jap Psych and some Scandanavian folk rock. I now have no idea about what's going on in the present indie/rock/pop scenes. I've been getting into my guitar playing, passed grade 5 (ABRSM classical) and bought myself a beautiful left handed Contreras C4.

I wish, but I have no real hoard of my own to entice anyone with. A couple of RH shows and a couple of (original period) Television shows and that's it. Well, and Buckley's "Starsailor" on CD, which virtually counts as a boot at this point since it doesn't appear it will EVER be released legit again. If anyone has any recordings from the RH Rock Armada tour, I'd certainly strive to find something they'd want in return. (10 goodlie hedd of cattle? My comics oeuvre? SOmewhat copy-degraded VHS of Greenaway's The Falls?) There was a cassette-only Boiled In Lead live release from 4 or 5 years ago that I REALLY wish I'd sent away for, as it was recorded very late in Todd Menton's tenure as singer/guitarist, and thus has a number of songs sung by him that were later recorded for "proper" BiL albums with that insufferable bluesy hippie they recruited to replace Menton. Still kicking myself for missing that cassette. I've always wanted to figure out whether Menton has done anything since leaving BiL. Many, many fond memories of seeing them in that era at the New Riverside Cafe or the Cedar Cultural Center (also saw Trip Shakespeare at the latter venue-- they were all wearing huge sets of actual-feather angel wings. Why on Earth did TS not become huge? Is it because the male leads dared to sing whole verses in foppish falsetto? What a great band.

Re: Robyn videos, "So You Think You're In Love" got a lot of play on 120 Minutes and Postmodern MTV, which Robyn would spend a whole week guest-hosting from time to time. "Man with the Lightbulb Head" showed up from time to time as well... that's on the "Hen" longform, right? There was also a low-rent "Beautiful Girl" video which featured, I think, something other than a hat blowing around in a similar mode to the "Raymond Chandler" hat. If that was a hat, which I'm not sure of either. Been a while in all cases. Haven't seen MTV since before "Respect" came out, really. The guest hosts on Postmodern MTV were often really entertaining. The Pixies hosted telepathically... at least, they sat there not opening their mouths while you heard their prerecorded voices doing intros and chatting about stuff.

My friend Dave in Seattle is trying to gradually assemble the IRS "lost album" from Flash Light-era B-sides, Miller's Tale bonus tracks, and elsewhere. When Dave saw Verlaine's Music For Films project at the Experience Music Pukepile, there was a q&a, and apparently Verlaine indicated he had put together an entire LP before Flash Light that IRS rejected, totally infuriating him. He claims that he then got in a snit and tossed off Flash Light in an angry week or two. His opinion obviously matters a lot, but jeez, I think Flash Light's easily the best of his solo albums, tossed off or not. Hopefully Dave will send me a burn of the "lost album" when he gets it cobbled together.

Especially when you're > talking post-'70s. Thread potential here...run with it, if you like. I agree. Others that come to mind: Visage - Fade To Grey Grauzone - Eisbaer - -- Sebastian Hagedorn Ehrenfeldg|rtel 156, 50823 Kvln, Germany http://www.spinfo.uni-koeln.de/~hgd/ "Being just contaminates the void" - Robyn Hitchcock ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 03 Sep 2003 13:49:51 -0400 From: "ross taylor" Subject: teach your children etc. Johnathan Fetter-- >"Dad- >movies": Spartacus, Lawrence of Arabia, Bridge Over the River Kwai. >Guns of Navaronne, Battle of the Bulge, The Great Escape...etc. I'm no "Greatest Generation" worshipper, but WWII experience might be a factor. But here I'm talking about boomers & their parents, which may not apply to you. Anyway, I'm a big David Lean fan. - --- Bad Beatle words-- I remember when the main AM station in Charlottesville played the brand-new ex-Beatle single "I Found Out" for maybe two weeks before someone realized one verse said "some of you sit there with your cock in your hand/ it don't get you nowhere, don't prove you're a man..." According to a review I read at the time, the early version of Let it Be released to the press contained the long version of "Dig It" in which Lennon supposedly says "fuck the movement." I haven't heard it in a long time, don't remember. The reviewer, I think in the NY Times, praised this, said "and you don't have to play it backwards to hear it!" - --- IIRC Brenda of the Lightbulb Eyes contained: "I Often Dream of Trains" -- kinda homemade, maybe some "solarization" or some such to the film at one point, train shots. "Man W/ the Lightbulb Head" -- also kinda homemade, but w/ stop-motion animation of objects (included in the Gotta Let This Hen Out dvd). "Raymond Chandler Evening" -- hat floating around, definite hommage[sp?] to an early Man Ray film. "Brenda's Iron Sledge" -- same as footage in GLTHO. "Balloon Man" -- low budget, but cool (some animation?), dark. "One Long Pair of Eyes" -- big budget, less interesting? don't remember. "Madonna of the Wasps" -- big budget, fancy sets, includes long intro not on record, somehow less interesting (I didn't really like the song). "So You Think You're in Love" -- big budget, same actors as MotW, again, a couple of neat images, but less surprising somehow. Or were these last two just on TV, not the video? Kinda surprising there wasn't anything for Respect, or any since.
