(But I don't think anyone could've saved his recent 'Swiss Toni' show). Other Peel Radio London tracks which I have been remembering (with some assistance): 1st 3 tracks of Sgt Pepper, always played straight through without a break; Spare Chaynge, the pre-Hot Tuna track on "Baxter's" The Masked Marauder, Country Joe and the Fish Tracks from 'The United States of America' ("I wouldn't leave my little wooden wife for you sugar" etc) The Wizard - Marc Bolan ("Walking in the woods today I met a man who said that he was magic", that one) and of course A Elbereth Gilthoniel, read by J R R Tolkien in Elvish on an old Caedmon LP. My oldest mate Steve reckons that 'Top Gear' was on _Sundays_, 3pm-6pm, not Saturdays, which would make sense of my recollection of hearing the Floyd session in the afternoon and then seeing them at the Savile the same day, 1 Oct 67. - - MRG PS Thanks for the RMK info, Eb.

I don't think so, but it may have slipped past me. I don't normally read things concerning Eminem. - -- Sebastian Hagedorn EhrenfeldgC Subject: Re: Wow At 08:25 PM 11/1/2004, The Mammal Brain wrote: >if you've not seen the eminem video yet... I second that "wow." Thanks for the link, Eddie. I wonder how much Mr. Mathers actually had to do with the (very powerful) imagery in that video. I think that the song is powerful, too, but I'm not sure the audio alone would have the same impact without the video portion. I'm not an Eminem fan, but I have watched this video about half a dozen times since following Eddie's link. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 Nov 2004 08:41:31 +0100 From: Sebastian Hagedorn Subject: Re: Feelies un-reap? - -- Maximilian Lang is rumored to have mumbled on Montag, 1.

Hmm, that just wouldn't be right ... > Sebastian? Well, I'm not in contact with any of them anymore. I guess I could ask they guys from Yo La Tengo if they have heard anything, but we usually don't keep in touch between tours, either. - -- Sebastian Hagedorn EhrenfeldgC Subject: RE: Peel Let it not be forgotten that it was in sessions recorded for Peel's show that Viv Stanshall devoloped the world of the Rawlinsons. The material that ended up on the Sir Henry album is a condensed version of several earlier works that Peel had broadcast. Anyhow, although I am fairly certain that Peel's voice does not appear on the Bonzo sessions record or the Bonzos at the BBC cd and that I have lost whatever tapes I made of his shows, by dint of having a compilation of the Rawlinson End broadcasts I can claim to have some snippets of JP's voice in the context of his show. Brian, having a rather proggy year of it all. np Bonzo Dog Band : No Matter Who You Vote For The Government Always Gets In (Heigh Ho). _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with cool new emoticons http://www.msn.co.uk/specials/myemo ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Nov 2004 13:05:57 +0000 (GMT) From: Michael R Godwin Subject: [none] 2 essential recent news items which I didn't see on the list (maybe I wasn't paying attention): - - MRG ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Nov 2004 13:11:25 +0000 (GMT) From: Michael R Godwin Subject: News Not to mention: And there was me assuming GK was just a Stephen Leacock clone. - - MRG (again) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Nov 2004 09:22:21 -0500 (EST) From: Christopher Gross Subject: Re: Wow I actually credit the "Mosh" video for cheering me up during one of my bouts of political pessimism last week. And usually rap leaves me cold. It's nice to know that despite our musical differences, Eminem and I can agree on certain basic principles, such as the importance of voting and the total loathsomeness of the Bush administration.... I'm off to vote now. Wish me luck!

After I parked the car, we walked toward Guadalupe Avenue, but when we got there, we realized we didn't know how to get to the Cactus Club. We looked left, we looked right. We scratched our head. So I figured I'd ask someone for directions. Just then, a tall man with green pants, white shirt, and a mop of salt-and-pepper hair sauntered next to me and stood, waiting for the light to change. "Hey Robyn, where's the Cactus Club?" "Um, go down the street that way, hang a left at the light, and the door to the club is in that courtyard." "Thanks, Robyn! We'll see you later!" "Okay." What perfect timing he has. So we followed Robyn's directions, stood in line, got our tickets, and watched him perform. It was a huge turnout, and the club was packed. He took the stage to standing ovation. "Wow, this sounds like an encore," he said. "Too bad about the world." He wore black pants and a dandy white shirt with swaths of green and red. He did a rather short set. His voice was tired, but he enjoyed himself and seemed to really be into playing his guitar, more so than usual. He did a lot of fingerpicking and seemed to be relishing the chords. Highlights include a stunning "Heartful of Leaves" on acoustic and "Autumn Is Your Last Chance" on a tobacco-sunburst Telecaster. The only Forbidden Song he did was "I Got A Message For You." The banter was fun, but he was clearly tired. A most enjoyable performance. I believe this was my twelfth time seeing him and I rank it in the Top 5. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Nov 2004 14:56:49 -0500 From: "Bachman, Michael" Subject: RE: Wow Chris wrote: >I'm off to vote now.

My line this morning was very long, a 1 hour wait, but it's hard to say if it was because of the new housing in the area or a percentage increase turning out to vote. Michael B.
