This makes me think of that great Higsons song "Ylang Ylang" wherein he sings the following lines: You mix me up, you make me feel like You mix me up, you make me feel like Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas and Thomas Mann and Man Ray and Ray Miland in The Man With The X-Ray Eyes [and] You mix me up, you make me feel like Henry James and James Dean and Dean Martin and Martin Luther King Kong You've got me climbing up the walls And while there is no direct Robyn Content in this post, you will be able to confirm my transcription by listening to The Higsons.

And two of my favorite sometime-Ubus are on board for this odd gig: Tony Maimone on bass and Chris Cutler on drums. I'm VERY excited to see Cutler play finally, after all those hours listenin' to Art Bears, Ubu's Tenement Year, Blegvad's Just Woke Up, etc. Jon Lewis ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2004 08:10:21 -0400 From: "Bachman, Michael" Subject: RE: My poing, and I do have one...

Cool for Cats sounds like a good one, but for next month. I don't have the stuff I bought last week yet. Neu!, Can - Tago Mago, and The Modern Lovers is supposed to ship from Amazon today. I can't wait to listen to get them, but Brenda will keep me busy until I get them later in the week! Michael B.

I'd say go right back to the source and pick up the Zuma album, which I think is a bit underrated, and is the real genesis of that sludgier latter-day Crazy Horse sound. It has a couple of uncomfortably bitter and uncharacteristically borderline misogyist moments, and maybe not as many lame puns or smarty-pants allusions as one might hope for, but it sounds great... if you like Cortez, you'll dig Danger Bird, and you get Barstool Blues and stuff like that... probably a top 5 Neil album for me. Well, maybe. But it's very good. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2004 11:36:15 -0700 (PDT) From: Mike Swedene Subject: REAP Isabel Sanford, best known as ``Weezie'' or Louise Jefferson on the sitcom ``The Jeffersons,'' has died of natural causes, her publicist said Monday.

I am not able to view the arguments from here, but I'm sure it's frenzy-inducing.
