Oh yeah, I remember seeing them together at that show and they looked exactly alike!

Yeah, the song about the "chimbley sweep" kind of grated. My favorite song on the record is "Los Angeles, I'm Yours," which would certainly appeal to Jason and Eb. I'm definitely going to trot out and get the first Decembrists record, "Castaways and Cutouts," as soon as money permits - I've heard that one's (even) better. >Well, looking at the track listing at >, the scores are >about >like this (from memory), with + being either a new track or interesting >demo, - being drunken farting-about, and ~ being short enough to not >matter, >while asterisks mark my favorites amongst the unreleased tracks: Thanks for the info... looking at that track-listing, I realise I already own a lot of those songs, albeit on poorly-recorded nth-generation dubbed cassettes. "Dame Fortune" is one of the few XTC songs I can play on the guitar. I'm not sure if I want to shell out, given that I have a huge list of other records to buy and my XTC fervor has faded of late.

Uh, in non-ass-related issues, another contender for my top 10 or whatever list, is Calexico's "Feast of Wire." I haven't listened to it all the way through yet, but it's pretty amazing stuff - a amalgam of country, blues, surf, mariachi, and what have you - lovely and atmospheric and unique. I saw them do an in-store recently, with just the singer and drummer, and it was very good. The singer does affable rambling monologues, sometimes accompanied by music, just like a musician we all know and love, but with less fish. Unfortunately I didn't have time to attend their show that night, but maybe next time. anyway, n. _________________________________________________________________ High-speed Internet access as low as $29.95/month (depending on the local service providers in your area).

Mick Mars? Yes, I believe there was a study done at Cal Tech circa 1990 that ranked him the Best Guitarist Ever. Of course, being a technical school, the study focused solely on technical ability and weighed things like "feeling" and "music" very low. Criteria were A) Does he ROCK? B) How ferociously does he kick ass? C) If you were a chick, would you blow him? Fortunately he scored perfectly on "A" and "B", because he didn't do well on "C". For the record, that guy from REO Speedwagon came in last, mainly because he doesn't kick ass all that ferociously. And, as was pointed out during the debate, "He looks like a homo." - -tc ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 15:45:08 -0700 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: "That's a good answer - my ass!" on 9/29/03 1:38 PM, Natalie Jacobs at emma_blowgun@hotmail.com wrote: >> Actually, it slipped my mind as I was driving back from Escondido.

So far the ones which have had a turn in my fave spot are "The Sound of Sound", "One L", "Penelope's Angles", "The Idea of You", and "Keep Finding Me". That covers just about everything that isn't generic, instrumental, or off-the-cuff. Right now it's "Penelope's Angles". I just wrote a sonnet-cycle about not being the right sort of man for a particular lady, so "she's got a thing about yam's... I am not a yam" holds special poignancy for me (as does "he never gets the girl he wants, because the girl inside him haunts the living room, and the dressing room"; I'm actually working on a short essay on (trans)gender issues in Luxor and how RH's treatment of them has progressed from IODOT, Eye, and Moss Elixir). I have a feeling that "The Sound of Sound" may endure the longest. It is the most economical and, for me, that always spells classic. Given the personal nature of so much of the album, tho, I just hope this track doesn't mean that RH is losing his hearing.
