The real clincher is when Buck overdubs the arpeggio with the same thing played atonally on the section of strings below the bridge. It just reeks of "how can I arbitrarily ugly up this pretty part and simultaneously cover up how badly I'm stealing from myself?". Plus we all did that when we first got our Rickenbackers, dude.

Cave is doing that damn Outkast thing, where each half of a double-album gets a different title. Aside from that, it's my favourite disc from Cave since "Murder Ballads" though unlikely to become anyone's new favourite Cave album. Abattoir Blues, the "heavy" one, seems to be getting the better reviews. I give a slight edge to The Lyre Of Orpheus, the "lighter" half. As is so often the case, this would probably make for a killer single album if pared down. But then, I never thought Cave fell all that far. "Boatman's Call" and "No More Shall We Part" have both grown on me. The new album is certainly much better than "Nocturama." Not really expecting him to match his late-eighties discs though.

I can't imagine how painful it would be to sit through all 3 of the last Robyn solo CDs back to back... Me, a fan, would probably go freakin crazy. Spewked..... Pooked... Puked????

(Or did they make it to Number 13? I'm too bummed to count.) I count 12 proper Beatles albums, counting the British albums plus Magical Mystery Tour but not Yellow Submarine. Given that most of the songs on the solo albums of 1970 were written while the Beatles were still a unit, maybe the 13th album could have looked like this. Power To The People My Sweet Lord Too Many People God Maybe I'm Amazed Mother Another Day What Is Life Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey Working Class Hero Monkberry Moon Delight Love Harrison, of course, only gets two songs.

For selection I kept it to songs I've actually heard on the radio, limiting it to 5/5/2 for L/M/H. Selection and sequencing are a topic that I'm sure could lead to tears and heartbreak, if fully debated. I wanted to put a Ringo song in. But he didn't get a hit until two years later. I figure one could make pretty good fake Beatles albums up to 75, then do another one for 80/81. Then that would be about it.

"It Don't Come Easy" was a reasonably big hit here - I'm surprised you haven't heard it - and it sez on some Ringo website I was on that it was released in April of '71.

Making an album is hard work. Dissing an album is the laziest thing in the world. I do it, we all do it, especially here, but I make sure that I've at least heard an album through at least a couple times first. A little respect for Robyn here please (no pun intended). > I am so sick of the "intimate" vibe... > Spewked..... Pooked... Puked???? Whatever you call it, it stinks. Something stinks because it has qualities that you yourself have tired of? Explain. At the moment I'm sick of tequila - that's doesn't make it a bad drink. Hey, if you can't get into it, whatever. Lots of other stuff to listen to. You want to make some objective judgements, at least listen to the disc and provide examples beyond what seems to be a barrier in yourself for intimate-vibe music. > I'd rather see Peter Buck spend his time making Robyn write some songs for > full band arrangements... I don't think Peter Buck has ever made Robyn do anything. Buck spends most of him time on Robyn's discs doing his best generic-studio-musician impersination, strumming away like a busker, letting Robyn play the cool parts (as it should be). Plus, most songs on the albums Buck plays on are a year or two older than the recording sessions. Palle Great. Now I have visions of Buck standing behind Robyn with a whip.

I think we'd all retain what we had to begin with, and it would be a blast. It would be a lot of hard work, I think mostly for me, to go back and relearn the songs and the words. ... A little bit easier for them, maybe, to kind of just thump along. hmmm.... mike np -> I want You (She's So heavy) (The Alternative Abbey Rd Album) ===== - ------------------------------------------------- "there is water at the bottom of the ocean" - talking heads _________________________________________________________ _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I've heard "It Don't Come Easy" a million times. I thought it was a '73 tune, but you're right, it was '71. I have it on the '73 album, "Ringo" but it seems to be a recently added bonus track - I'd thought it was part of the album. The real question is why do I have this album? I sure don't remember buying it. Actually, "Photograph" is a pretty good tune, and I think it was a hit too. There's a song by McCartney and another by Lennon - neither great. There's one by Randy Newman. And a godawful remake of "You're Sixteen." Weird record. The best two songs are written by Starr.

There are several other good songs on this LP including "Child of the moon", "The singer not the song", "Long long while" and "Who's driving your plane". - - Mike Godwin ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V13 #284 ********************************
