I'm a London-based war crimes and development journalist, but I have a murky past as a Glasgow-based wannabe music journo. I grew out of this pretty quickly, but not before I interviewed Robyn for a certain music mag that folded before the piece was published. This was ten years ago. I was very bitter and embarrassed about the non-appearance of the interview at the time - after all, Robyn had given up a couple of hours of his time, and for what? I soon went back to news writing and listening to music for the love of it. Time passed. I never forgot the interview, but resigned myself to having lost my only copy of it in a hard drive failure. But when I was clearing out some boxes in my parents' attic over Christmas, I found a box of floppy disks. And there was my unpublished interview, and the original transcript. Yay! There was also a whole pile of really embarrassingly gushy reviews of bands I now loathe, but I'll draw a discreet veil over those. As I'm no longer involved with fanzines or small press in general - the internet put paid to that - I posted it in a relevant LiveJournal community. The link is here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/the_laszlo_shop/14901.html I cringe a bit when I read it, but have resisted the urge to rewrite it. However, looking back at the transcript of the interview tape, I can't help but think that I made a hash of it. There's some good stuff there, and not all of it made it into the piece. Hindsight is such a bitch :o) Anyway, I hope it's of some interest!

What is "six" if not an adjective? No, Aaron - grammar discussions go over on the Loud-Fans list... Anyway, I see your points, but somehow, numbers feel different to me. I suppose, though, "Andrew Bird's" is disqualified as being two words rather than one...although Eb didn't explicitly state it that way. I'd argue we should count compound nouns - or rather, nouns being used adjectivally to modify other nouns - at least in a case like this, where "death cab" isn't a well-established phrase that becomes nearly its own discrete entity. If it were "Taxi Cab for Cutie" I might concede the point. I'd say that in this case, since the word "death" is functioning adjectivally, it's being used as an adjective in this instance, so the phrase fits the criteria. I would like to nominate the entire field of "smooth jazz" as being appropriately renamed "Flaming Pile of Poo." - -- ...Jeff, Annoying Poster of Words The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2005 11:42:20 -0600 From: "Jay Lyall" Subject: Re: white album show part 2?

In a brown paper bag at your doorstep while your doorbell is ringing? Not sure if you would lump Norah Jones in with the "smooth jazz" crowd, but I am glad she is on the Blue Note label. Her multi-platinum sales has sure pumped some money into Blue Note, and they have been reissuing a ton of classic Blue Note jazz albums from the 50's and 60's, The Rudy Van Gelder Editions, the last couple of years.

I think Death Cab for Cutie is fine...however, I would cross out those names which had articles before the final noun. In fact, I even said something about ruling out New Kids on the Block in my initial post.

There don't seem to be many band names with this format. But what about album titles?? Death Cab For Cutie got me thinking about a Captain Beefheat album that ends with 'For Crow' (maybe Ice Cream for Crow??). I'd bet there are some Man or Astro-man album titles that would qualify (though I can't think of any offhand). =jbj= ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2005 13:27:46 -0600 From: Jeff Subject: Re: Stupid brainteaser On Tue, 18 Jan 2005 10:48:12 -0800, Eb wrote: > > I'd argue we should count compound nouns - or rather, nouns being used > A lot of those bands you folks named were pretty obscure, but I should > have thought of Death Cab and Future Sound of London.... On the Relatively Unobscure front, I'd also include Preston School of Industry and the United States of America...

Where's that number from - whoever runs those scanning doohickeys? Of course, above and beyond that 44,476 albums are a whole bunch that never got scanned, or weren't scannable because they lacked UPCs... How can you even count what's an "album" anymore?

You are a 16-year-old punk rocker who thinks waiting to walk across the street because there's a red light is "giving in to the system, man." Are you really going to put a UPC on your home-recorded single that you sell on commission exclusively at a store that regards any label with staff who aren't in the label's bands as a "sellout"? Really, though: if you're a local band selling only at a couple of local records stores, what's the point of getting a UPC? > > How can you even count what's an "album" anymore?

One of my bands stuck a UPC on our self-released record just to make it look "legit". It wasn't my idea, but I do recall that if you actually scan it, the record registers as "Prince's Greatest Hits", the three-disc version if memory serves. Possibly we contributed to his theoretical record sales, although I can't imagine it was ever scanned except if it was sold back used (and I have seen the record in a few used bins). - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2005 11:10:42 +1300 From: James Dignan Subject: Re: Strange Names of Bands >Last night, for some silly reason or other, a friend and I were trying >to think of (established) band names of the form [ADJECTIVE NOUN >PREPOSITION NOUN]. > >It seems like there should be a lot of them, but all we came up with >were: > >Supreme Beings of Leisure >Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy >Gaye Bikers on Acid >Mighty Clouds of Joy > I suspect there are more album titles than groups with this format, but here goes: Blind Boys of Alabama Dribbling Darts of Love Future Sound of London does Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark count? keep thinking I've missed obvious ones, though...

Maybe, but I can completely understand why Kristin wouldn't want to call anything without Narcizo Throwing Muses. Yeah, Bernard Georges was in TM longer than Leslie or Tanya (let alone Fred Abong), but David was a Muse from day one practically, or at least from when they added the "Throwing" so it would be slightly less of a chick name.
