I no longer require its services since I have replaced it with the DVD.

This group is fronted by feg Paul Montagne's nephew Colin Meloy (who, incidentally, coordinated that Robyn Hitchcock tribute night a few years back). Colin's vocals have definitely creeped mangumward and his lyrics are just a touch too pretentiously faux-old-timey, but it's quite good despite the little gripes. You know, I like it when Jeff Mangum does Jeff Mangum and I get the impression that Brian Dewan really does believe that offices are still equipped with inkwells and allow smoking, but when other people show those traits, I cringe a little. Anyway, get that Decemberists disc right away. I know I'm going to do so.

Yesterday was my birthday, and it was significantly LACKING in spankies from Tom! Fuck you, Tom Clark! Carole kindly gave me Luxor for my birthday. We had a little "listening session" last night as Carole hadn't heard it either. It's OK, I guess... it mostly sounds like slightly limp outtakes from IODOT which is certainly better than outtakes from Groovy Decay or whatever. I'm getting kind of tired of Robyn's constant arpeggios... I mean, it's sort of his signature sound, but jeez, come up with something else for a change! After one listen it's hard to pick out a favorite song, but I did like "Idonia" as I recall. I'm a little worried about falling asleep during the show in November as the general mood of the album is so drowsy, but fortunately the seats at the Aladdin are very uncomfortable. Oh, are there any non-PDX fegs coming to the show? Eddie???

Thanks, Eb ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2003 19:51:43 -0700 From: Eb Subject: Kansan on Kazan The particular politics of Elia Kazan are not that important in this case. Actually, he had cooperated with the Government and named Communists involved in the movie industry. His most famous movie, "On the Waterfront", is an allegory where the gangsters controlling the longshoremen's union symbolize the Communists behind the scenes in Hollywood. What happened is that as soon as I discovered the connection between Nikos Kazantzakis, Heidi Klum, and myself, God took away Elia Kazan, or Kazantzioglou (in Turkish), or Kazantzakis (in Greek), to confirm my discovery. I am sure that Elia Kazan is in a much better place tonight. The connection between Nikos Kazantzakis, Heidi, and me is the mystery of the Age. I can not say more about it in public. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2003 20:19:32 -0700 From: glen (') Subject: Re: hey, wait a minute...

Landing a record deal with the Canadian label Attic Records, they released Walking On Sunshine and Katrina & The Waves 2... then signing to Capitol-EMI, they re-recorded twelve of the songs for their major label debut, and the two Canada-only LPs were never heard again... until now! To celebrate the 20th anniversary of these original recordings, they've been remastered and re-released in a limited edition package that includes a deluxe booklet with exclusive interviews and more, plus a DVD featuring a 1983 concert, photos, the original "Walking On Sunshine" video and a brand new 2003 video for "Dancing Street".

The Dutch band Nits put out a compilation called "NITS HITS". One the spine the words are right up against each other... yup, NITSHITS. Nothing on the record is nearly as dreadful as REO Speedwagon. REO Speedwagon is also one of those '70's acts with the "registered trademark" symbol, right? They successfully got Rufus Wainwright's labelmates REO Speeddealer to change their name to just plain "Speeddealer", which, how is that funny? Time to change the whole name, kids.

Sort of. The much-discussed compilation of original music by feg-listers is rapidly coming together... somewhere in the neighborhood of twelve contributors thus far, many of whom will have the good fortune to land two compositions on the final product. So my main question: Is there anyone out there who hasn't contributed yet, might be able to get me completed tracks if I extend the deadline one last (I swear, for real) time to the end of October? I have plenty of great stuff already, but the more the merrier for all involved. Either way, I expect to have the record ready for Holiday gift-giving! Thanks, all.
