With John Sebastian and Jimi Hendrix? I managed to get ITVOTAS off that Mr Barbeau through a mixture of begging and threatening - It's a psyche classic... in fact if you happen to own a record company, you could do much worse than release it on triple vinyl... The Black Watch is John Andrew Frederick, formerly having played with a violin player. I've got a few of his albums and The Hypno Sea is far and away the best - Highly recommended...

I think you guys are thinking of "You Can Be Anyone This Time Around", where Dr. Tim waxes psychedelic while the all-star band jams in the background. I think it was Hendrix, Buddy Guy, Stephen Stills and some others. Hendrix played bass. - -tc ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2005 11:48:12 -0700 (PDT) From: Benjamin Lukoff Subject: Re: Half-year rock-n-pop favorites...?

Robert Plant & The Strange Sensation/Mighty Rearranger 4. Teenage Fanclub/Man-Made And I just don't like The Decemberists. I've tried to. But I just end up wanting the smack Colin Meloy. And I know it's from last year, but I didn't get it until February, but god damn is _American Idiot_ astonishing. I always though Green Day were a fairly decent little punk-pop band, a second rate Buzzcocks (which is not an insult in any way, shape, or form), but to pull that out of their asses and 15 years into their careers was really unexpected. I do think that the two suites might as well have been listed/mastered as five separate songs, but that's quibbling. Really great. I'm almost tempted to say I'll be shocked if something else is number one on my list for the oughts in Dec 2009. > And, it's about fucking time: > Nick Cave, "B-sides & Rarities" and Siouxsie & The Banshees/Downside Up!! Also, major props to Stereolab, Steve Wynn, and whoever is taking care of things for Kirsty MacColl and Roky Erickson in the compilations/boxsets department. ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!

First, another welcome back to Mr. Godwin and wishes for continued health! I've been off the radar for too long, lots of distance commuting (8 hours by train each way, no flights) and then a few side trips to other parts of the country which is really a time-travel experience. Out of the cities the predominant mode of transportation is horse and cart and religion and tradition rule the countryside. But my time in Romania is coming to an end. I turn in grades on Monday and have only a few more things to wrap up. Headed up to London for 10 days house-sitting for friends. Would love to meet up with any London fegs for a pint. Am there July 8 - 18th or there abouts. Late July back to the Bay Area for a month. BA Fegs - lunch with you all! South Bay is fine, i'm moblie. (TC, found your package, sans address, in my desk drawer. Send your address so you can get the Romanian stamps - and music! Same for Woj.) What's next after that? I am going to Belfast in early September for 3 months as Artist-In-Residence at Seacourt Print Workshop. 3 months of no teaching! No responsibilities except to make my own work. Keys to the studio and a stipend to facilitate the creative process! I anticipate a fantastic, if cold, experience. I don't think we have any Northern Irish fegs... Nice to see you all getting along so well lately. I admit my reading wanes when the insults fly. Perhaps it's due to the fact that my news is focused on the terrible flooding that has prevented train travel (or the current transportation strike) or just negotiating daily life through systems that have not changed since "before" and yet another foreign language to study each evening and trip over every day. I'm hoping that I am in some country sometime soon when Mr. Hitchcock plays so I can get a chance to get a live fix. It's been since the Rock Armada tour and man, I am really in need! Thanks again for the show cds Mr. C! Not up on all the other musical suggestions mentioned frequently on the list but they are noted and when I settle down a bit...

But can y'all see this? I'm getting email from one mailing list and no personal mail and even less than the usual amount of spam, so I'm thinking I'm having mail problems but a test message from a yahoo account came through. Damnit. I suppose if I get this back, at least messages from smoe are coming through, but I haven't seen a fegpost in days.
