It's a horrible sell-out blot on what had been a cutting edge career. Their 78-83 canon contains six of the most innovative pop records of the era, and you can find pretty much anything U2's done in their entire career somewhere on those discs. Radically unlike U2's work, however, they also contain the some of the best bass playing I've ever heard thanks to Derek Forbes, who quit in disgust after the "Don't You" single. I guess Kerr's about as much a goof as Bono, tho. Worse lyrics, better voice. Burchill's a lot like the Edge in that he uses the guitar for sound effects instead of learning how to play it, but he has a lot more tricks, and actually came up with some of them himself. devo ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2005 22:05:05 -0800 From: Eb Subject: Re: Obscurities Marc Hewson wrote: > it's certainly a flavourite with me.

Fortunately, Robyn announced to the crowd that he hopes to be at Club Congress again in September. I got there early enough to hear Robyn do his sound check. He was wearing the brownish shirt with gladiolas on it, in case that's the info you're looking for... He played: Happiness is a Warm Gun (Beatles) Cynthia Mask She Belongs to Me (Dylan) Speed of Things Adventure Rocket Ship (new-ish) Ghost Ship (electric) Queen of Eyes I Am Not Me (excerpt) The Leopard Freeze Club Congress was set up with tables and chairs tonight, a first, for all the shows I've seen there. Robyn (now wearing his black & white polka dots shirt) was in a very good mood, and in search of coffee quite a bit of the evening (as he had been at the Largo, also). Here's the songs he played: Ole Tarantula Devil's Coachman I've Got the Hots Full Moon in My Soul Television I Feel Beautiful (switched to Telecaster) Autumn is Your Last Chance Freeze Queen of Eyes Adventure Rocket Ship Airscape--Robyn introduced this saying, "This is apparently my favorite Robyn Hitchcock song." (encore without a break, Robyn playing in the audience) Rock Me Baby/Beautiful Woman/Sound & Vision/Kung Fu Fighting (Bowie/Carl Douglas/etc.) (Robyn then had the crowd join him in the hotel lobby around an old piano) Flavour of Night Ted, Woody, & Junior Satellite of Love (Lou Reed)/with a bit of You Won't See Me (Beatles) at the end (Robyn asks everyone not to go away, and he ran back inside to get his guitar) A Day in the Life (Beatles)--during the middle part, Robyn had an audience member hold his guitar while he switched to the piano, then finished up on the guitar, and hit the final chord on the piano During the last two songs, the crowd joined in on the singing. I'm not sure if Robyn knew it, but one of the people helping out was Neko Case. She was next to me in the lobby and told me that she was in town recording her next album. Overall, it was probably the best Hitchcock show I saw all week, and it was a week of great shows. Wish it had been a bit longer, but I usually feel that way even if the show is over 2 1/2 hours (tonight was only about 90 minutes). Robyn didn't really have a formal set list tonight, but more like a song pool to pick from--he wrote two pages of songs titles and just picked as he went along. Here is the entire list of possible selections (most of which were not played tonight, remember--also, just for fun, I'm writing them as Robyn had them noted): Devils C Speed of Things C Bones Q. Elvis Full Moon in My I Feel Beautiful Wax Doll Freeze Q.O.E Y&O Autumn Is Yr Last Television Sometimes a Blonde Idea of You Idonia Cheese Alarm Spanner Ralph Sweet Mouth Guilford Arms of Love O.T. Stones The Hots Ole Tarantula She Belongs to Me Adventure Rocket Ship Often Dream of Trains I'm Only You Airscape Cynthia Mask Damn, some good stuff that got skipped there. I really wanted to see "Give Me a Spanner, Ralph". That was twice this week he had it on a set list and didn't play it. Time for a bit of sleep (in my own bed even).

When I first went to college as a young, slightly underage, Southern California beach girl studying English Lit., I fell under the spell of a group of older, exciting, theater majors. And wouldn't you know it, they were all from Northern California! After they got over making fun of me for LIKING to drive freeways, they took me under their wing and introduced me to such amazing things as the the Grateful Dead and Sons of Champlin. Northern California music... I was caught under their spell for long enough to have several memorable New Years in Oakland and plenty of Day on the Greens making bets on what would be the first song and figuring how to time our peaks to match Garcia's guitar space out and... Oh, sorry, had a flashback there. Anyway, the Sons were, well, very local. Marin County, to be exact. > 124.

But the album, along with other Leon Russell works, were big listeners in my crowd (I think everyone else was listening to the Jackson 5 or Parliament).

She responded with a > very snotty "What are you gonna do, call the cops?" I used to live next door to a guy named Matt Winegar who was in a band called The Spent Poets who released an album on Geffen that was almost a small not-quite-a-hit, but more importantly co-produced the first Primus album, partially in his garage. "I had naively believed all these many years that Americans genuinely believed in freedom of speech. [But I] discovered there that when you made an utterance that was remotely contrary to what the White House was saying, then they attacked you. For a South African the deja vu was frightening. They behaved exactly the same way that used to happen here [during apartheid]: vilifying those who are putting forward a slightly different view." -- Desmond Tutu __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
