Nope. They're quite obviously the same person. I can only presume that the facet of the personality that calls itself 'Quail' has become dominant over the one that is known as 'Bayard', and that having the two together on the same list would cause a rift in the space-time continuum that would have unimaginable, Lovecraftian-like consequences... cheers john ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2004 11:03:40 -0800 From: "Rex.Broome" Subject: Names (non fairie/vampire related) Quail: >>Anyway, I'm back; but please don't let that stop anyone from using my >>name to describe tactics, mythical lists, ex-vice presidents, pet names for >>their sexual organs, and so on.

Well, actually, Bayard and I have been locked in an off-list Internet squabble for the better part of a year. He contends that the best ad campaign in history was "Two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun." I say it's "Have another fluffernutter peanut butter sandwich please." It started off peacefully, but soon escalated into a massive daily exchange of angry emails, followed soon by actual hate mail -- I mean, he even sent me a package filled with little paper quails, all with X's drawn over their eyes and their feathers all bloodied up by red crayon! From there, things went downhill. Eventually, every Robyn Hitchcock concert that Bayard burned for someone contained an angry tirade against me spliced into Robyn's monologue (with Bayard doing his best Robyn impression), while I began to slowly convert all links on The Modern Word to redirect visitors to BayardSucksMooseBippers.com, where I inserted anti-Bayardist paragraphs into all my book reviews. So it's rather more than a mere coincidence that Bayard is leaving now that I am back -- despite what John says, we are not the same person; but we simply cannot stand to occupy the same mailing list.

So, some of the "last night"-type references really mean "three nights ago."] Three nights ago [uh, make that five nights ago], I was planning to see the Wrens in Hollywood...just a half-block away from the Kodak Theatre. I figured there would be some interesting Oscar-preparation sights, to go along with the show. But...Wednesday night came, and so did a major downpour. I was ginger about making a long freeway trip in that weather, and I fantasized about there being another local Wrens show so I could bow out with a clear conscience. I checked the Wrens' website, and lo and behold: TWO (one and a half?) more Wrens shows in the area. A noontime concert at UCLA, and a concert at some little spot in Long Beach called Koo's Cafe. Never been there before, and I scarcely go to Long Beach anymore in general. The only other two times in recent *years* were a trip to see the Kingsbury Manx at the Blue Cafe, and a trip downtown for a meeting with a certain voluptuous Feglist member. ;) I couldn't make the UCLA show, but I pulled out my road maps and plotted out a course for Koo's Cafe. I arrived at the venue with minor trouble -- driving in downtown Long Beach is a pain, because there are one-way streets galore. I ended up parking on a parallel street, fairly close to the venue by accident, except the walk over was considerably longer because I initially took off in the wrong direction down the street. :) Koo's Cafe wasn't much of a "cafe," as far as I could tell. Upon arriving at the address, all I saw was a closed art gallery with a guy in the window decorating some sort of large dinosaur figure. I was puzzled, and just about to knock on the door and ask what's up, when I noticed a non-descript open door off to the side. *That* was the entrance to the show. The show's location turned out to be the area behind the street-visible gallery area -- there'd a temporary wall put up, blocking off the back studio area into a separate space. Limited capacity (150, maybe?), naked concrete floors and a low ceiling with visible ducts. A cool "underground" feel. A few art pieces on the walls. It was an all-ages show, and there was nothing edible to purchase beyond drinks from a vending machine in the lobby. I missed the first band, Things Explode. Don't know a thing about them. I wouldn't have minded missing the next band either, but they were adequately engaging. The group was Greater California (*the* Greater California?), and oddly enough, the only other time I saw them was at the aforementioned Kingsbury Manx date. They're one of those bands who conceive themselves with the "rule" of playing nothing but slow, minimal, mellow stuff, so all their songs have an identical mood. This comes off either meditative and hypnotic or flat and sluggish, depending on your point of view. I tend toward the latter slant. There was a bit of extracurricular entertainment during this set. A bearded, mid-thirties guy with an art-dork saddlebag started making a nuisance of himself. I don't know if he viewed it as "performance art" or what, but suddenly he started clapping along with the songs' rhythm. Now, remember that this is a concrete room with reverberating acoustics, and that the volume of Greater California's music wouldn't scare your grandmother. So, this nitwit starts walking around the room, "dramatically" clapping almost like he's dancing the tango. And as he struts around, he's trying to make eye contact with everyone, as if to say either "Look at meeeee!" or "Why don't we all clap together, because it will be a groovy show of community." What a remarkable pain in the ass. Everyone was looking at him with a mix of bewilderment, amusement and irritation. Then he settled near the left back corner of the room, and started, uh, sort of "barking" to cheer the band on. I couldn't tell what he was saying, but again, it had a bit of a Spanish flavor -- it was as if he was cheering on a bullfighter with "Andelay," "Arriba" or something similar. Bee-zarre. Then he started rolling a joint, which was presumably not cool with the young promoters doing their best to host shows in a decidedly unconventional environment. That was about the point when the ticket guy came into the main room, and gently guided the freak outside. I talked to the ticket guy briefly a bit later -- he said the man had posed as a journalist, and had talked his way in without paying. Yikes. They'll know better next time, I guess. Incidentally, admission was a mere $7. The next band was the Swords Project, who were another plus over the Hollywood show because I'd rather see them than John Vanderslice (the Wrens' opening act in Hollywood). I've seen the Swords Project once before -- I believe they opened for Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks. Their album is surprisingly good. Sort of a mix of indie-rock songwriting, old-school San Francisco jamming and techno beats. I don't think this was a suitable venue for them, however. They were showing avant-garde film-loop projections which would have been much more evocative in a larger room, and their style just didn't fit this little cement dungeon. Like Greater California, the Swords Project had a woman who played old-fashioned electric piano, except this gal also played violin and guitar. I didn't enjoy their set as much as the CD. The crowd didn't seem too impressed, either. During the Swords Project's set, I started seeing a few of the Wrens around. One of them was setting up a merchandise table in a back room, so I went over to say hello. I feel a bit "righteous" in my Wrens fandom, you see, because I evangelized to *everyone* about how incredible their 1996 album Secaucus was, and few paid any attention to me. Now, after waiting seven years to release another album, the band is suddenly a major critics' fave. I love it! I'll skip some indulgent talk of "bonding" here, but I'll just say that the band are very nice, genuine guys. They all laughgroaned to hear that I was at their disastrous Spaceland show, circa 1996 -- they went on around midnight on a weekday after an "open mike" night, and there were literally about eight or nine people watching them. Whew. I've noticed how the long-out-of-print Secaucus is routinely selling on eBay for $40-$45, so I was amused to see that even the band doesn't have finished copies to sell. They were selling their new CD (The Meadowlands) in the proper format, but they were only selling makeshift-artwork, personally duplicated versions of the first two albums (Secaucus and Silver, both on the defunct Grass label). Actually, I was hoping they would have copies of their interim Abbott 1135 EP to sell, but Greg said they had recently run out. (They were selling CD-Rs of this one, too!) But he said to just email him, and he'd send me one later. Nice! Peripheral note: One of the first MP3s I ever saved was "I Guess We're Done," off the Abbott 1135 EP. You can find it for yourself, here: http://nokarma.com/nokarma/browse.asp?cat=349 I just *swoon* for this song. One of the band's very best. Absolutely spectacular. Download it! And yes, this report has become horribly overlong. The Wrens didn't play "I Guess We're Done" during the set. Actually, if I have one criticism of the performance, it was simply that they didn't play many of my personal favorites. I enjoy the new album a lot, but I do rate it a couple of grades less than Secaucus -- the band has a tendency of just "cruise" on a certain pleasing chord combination or hook for measures and measures, and they overdo it a bit on The Meadowlands. There also aren't as many pop-punk barnburners as found on Secaucus. In any case, I was pleased they did play "Won't Get Too Far" off Secaucus, which is one of the most sadly beautiful songs I've heard. They also played the ferocious "Indie 500" (also off Secaucus) near the end, in which bassist/keyboardist Kevin revealed himself to have some formidable boogie-woogie piano skills. I love that one. But as with the new album, the set was a bit more mellow than I would've expected. On one hand, I admired the group for having the guts to shut down the show's momentum for some dramatic piano ballads, but on the other hand, well, I would have enjoyed hearing more upbeat stuff. But the crowd was mostly bookish-looking indie kids, and it seemed like they were eager to hear the softer things. Looking more for hints of Luna than the Pixies or Costello. The group had a temporary drummer sitting in, and repeatedly warned/bragged that he only had 45 minutes of pre-tour rehearsal to learn his parts. I didn't hear any notable goofs. The downside of this was that the band's setlist was rigidly defined, because they played the exact subset of tunes which they had worked up with the new drummer. Several songs segued into each other without taking a break, and being front-and-center with an easy view of the stage floor, I noticed that no one even used setlist sheets for reference. This set was in the can before it even started. The Wrens have plenty of threeway harmonies, of course, but I was surprised to see how many solo vocals the lead guitarist took. Especially because his voice isn't quite as attractive as Kevin's higher, more boyish sound. I loved his guitar style, though. He's one of those high-slung guitarists, and he had this nifty New Wave-ish way of tightly whirling his forearm to play, almost like he was *hitting* the guitar as much as strumming it. And he had an exciting way of adding little bursts of partial chords to add quirky dissonance to the music. It's funny too, because he's sort of a short, stubby, balding guy who doesn't look anything like a rock star. The rock star was Kevin, in the center. He's the one with all the big stage moves. He also had the extra flashiness of switching between bass and keyboard. Is any band with a lefthanded bassist automatically cool? On the left, second guitarist Greg was a bit more reserved. The band's primary set was about 45 minutes (all the night's sets were shortish -- being an all-ages club, the place aims to close early), plus two-and-a-half encore songs. Because of the drummer problem, the main three played the encore without him. They admitted they didn't have much more material polished up for public performance -- that's the problem when you go seven years between your second and third albums! -- but a few diehard fans (including me) called out songs they wanted to hear. They made several jokes about doing a makeshift medley. "You know you've been around in awhile when you resort to a MEDLEY," that type of thing. Following my request, they opened with about half of Secaucus' exhilarating "Built-In Girls," which sounded *great* without drums. All vocal harmonies and interlocking riffs. They quit after a minute and a half when their memories became taxed, and then went into two more songs. One was the softer "She Sends Kisses" off the new album (also a fan request), and I can't name the other. Exciting show. I got out of there around 11:50pm. And yes, this description really was way too long. I missed British Sea Power's local shows on the subsequent two nights, and I'll probably regret that one day. But at least, this way, you don't have to wade through my comments on them. ;) Errol Morris finally wins an Oscar. Yes!
