I suppose it's maybe more surprising not to be familiar enough with the song to play a rudimentary but not wrong part even w/o having actually played it before. Although having said that, and having just now tried to work out a bass part for the song in my head, I realize the song's trickier than I would have guessed - the rhythms aren't as regular and predictable as some songs, and the chords sometimes change at unexpected moments. Now if he'd muffed up the bass playing because, he said, "I'd never played 'Louie Louie' before," that wouldn't make much sense. I'm pretty sure that - once overcoming the physical obstacles - I could train our cats to play the bass part to "Louie Louie." Whoever's bass I borrowed would want to know why there's catfood on the fretboard probably though. (New album title! "Catfood on the Fretboard"!

Case in point re: the bass part on this particular song, avec content du Robyn: there is some slight uncertainty as to where the bassline is intended to start. On the single as released Hillman starts on a high note which I think is a D or in any event the note in the run the precedes the low E root note every other time it's played. I could be wrong and it may be the E itself an octave higher, but it's certainly not the low E that falls on the "1" of every other measure of the instrumental sections. And if you spin the alternate ("RCA") take of the song recorded at roughly the same time, Hillman starts on the low E. I've therefore always thought that the single version starts with a "mistake" that the band found more interesting than the normal version and released for that reason (I mean, they must've known they were releasing something pretty damned bizarre for its time either way).. Now if you listen to the cover by Robyn & The Egyptians, you can even hear them kind of discussing this intro ("What's the start?") before Andy hops into the song with the *low E* per either the "alternate version" or just general bass-player logic (and he clearly knows how to play the rest of it). By contrast, on Husker Du's version, Bob Mould plays the opening bass part on his guitar, leading off with the higher note that I think is a D, just like on the release version of the Byrds single. Maybe related, probably not: the "alternate" Byrds version was first officially released at a-- erm-- time between the recording of the Husker Du and Egyptians covers. Okay, now who wants to fight about the various releases of "Lady Friend"? - -Rx ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2006 23:16:22 +0000 From: hssmrg@bath.ac.uk Subject: Re: Fleece and Firkin Quoting Spotted Eagle Ray : > So... does that mean that QUEEN ELVIS (the LP) was never issued in the UK, > or issued without its lead single?

The Sasquatch nodded. "Good!" It had been over two months since Eb had abondoned civilisation and taken up residence with the Sasquatch. To be perfectly frank about it, Eb had never been happier. He had never before considered himself an environmentalist -- "Give me pavement and smog any day of the week," he used to repeat whenever attending a schwanky Hollywood cocktail party. But, dammit all, he didn't miss the city a single bit. What's more, he had finally found a people who could respect him for who he *really was* -- who were in touch with his "inner Eric Broome", you might say. Granted, he had only been able to stave off being killed and eaten by having exposed to the Sasquatch his "Mighty Rearranger" (as Eb sometimes liked to refer to his johnson); but since that day, the Sasquatch had considered him as a *fully realised* human being, and *not* just a piece of meat. Eb turned around, dropped his britches, and shat all over the pictograph. Again the Sasquatch nodded their comprehension. "IN OTHER WORDS," thundered Eb, "it was all a dream. Pam had dreamt the entire season!" Now the Sasquatch were confused. After a few seconds of tense standoff, Rory, the chief of the North Mendocino band, related that it had been a long day, and that the Sasquatch were having difficulties keeping up with the lesson. Maybe it would be a good time to take a break? Eb agreed, and the Sasquatch dispersed into the woods. * * * "MI5, assholes!" screamed Timothy Thomas just moments before himself and three colleagues crashed through the door using a fairly large-sized battering ram. Rex looked up from his Donald Duck cartoon: "That shit was unlocked, too." "Eb owes the British Crown for 27 fat sheep!" screamed Timothy Thomas. "I don't doubt it," replied Rex (although he privately calculated that 27 seemed a tad on the high side), "but he's not here. I haven't seen that sonuvabitch in *weeks*." "*Yellow*, is he?" screamed Timothy Thomas. "Well, we accounted for that! Agent Joseph here will find him," Timothy Thomas clapped on the back an utterly grotesque-looking freak of an agent whose eyes were sewn shut, whose tongue had been removed, and whose face was beset by oozing boils. Rex arched a rather incredulous eyebrow. "Him?" "All he needs is to sniff a pair of Eb's underpants!" screamed Timothy Thomas. "Oh, well why didn't you say so?" Rex showed the agents to Eb's room, then added, "Tell that motherfucker he owes for December, January, *and* February rent." After a few minutes' rummaging through his chest of drawers, the agents emerged from Eb's room with their quarry, picked up their battering ram, and disappeared through the door and into the hallway. "He hain't been neutered!" Rex shouted after them before returning to his Donald Duck cartoon. He had barely got through two panels, however, before he heard a low, loud rumbling coming from the parking lot. Looking out the window, he noted that the British fucks were driving away in a CR2 Battle Tank. "Shit," mused Rex aloud. "If they're going to be driving *that* thing, I can just follow them on the burro. They'll never get the rent from him, anyway." Rex tossed aside his Donald Duck cartoon, quickly threw a few changes of clothes into a duffel bag, and; racing down to the parking lot, was able to mount the burro before the agents had even been able to maneuver their tank out onto the arterial. A few hours later, as the CR2 Battle Tank slowly made its way north on the 101, with Rex following behind on the burro (being careful to leave a few cars in between, so as not to arose the agents' suspicions); the scene was not un-reminiscent of O.J. Simpson's famous ride through this very same highway system some many years before. Inside the CR2, Joseph sat at the controls, Eb's underpants dangling from his mouth, and navigated the agents slowly but inexorably toward Eb's lair. * * * "Hands up, assholes!" screamed Timothy Thomas. "You, Eb, owe the British Crown for 27 fat sheep!" "Fat *what*, you fat *fuck*?" screamed Eb in return. "I live in the *woods* now, fuck-stick. I don't *deal* with civilisation anymore. Don't interrupt my lessons again!" As far as Eb was concerned, the matter was closed, and he turned back to the circle of Sasquatch. The agents hadn't been prepared for this riposte, and huddled up to discuss their options. "Eb, I think they mean business," offered Rex. As Eb -- who hadn't, until this time, noticed Rex's presence -- made a beeline toward him, Rex jumped off the burro, prepared for a warm embrace. Eb walked past Rex with nary a glance, however, and began scratching the burro behind its ears. "Solomon! I've missed you so much, buddy!" "Hey, Eb," Rex put in, somewhat chastened, "My new band is coming along pretty good, and if you-- aieeeeeee!" Rex shrieked as Eb took hold of his nuts in a vicious Vulcan death grip (or some such-like). "I don't give a *fuck* about your band! Not now! Not ever!" At last, he released his grip, and Rex sat down to lick his wounds (well, not *literally*...). "Okay look," began Timothy Thomas at this time. "We're willing to strike some sort of bargain with you, but, you can't get out of your responsibilities just like that. That's the difference between the mountain man and the civilis--...the civilis--..." Timothy Thomas realised the futility of this line of argument, but finished his thought nevertheless. "...the mountain man and the civilised human society." Eb laid a terrific fart, at which Timothy Thomas signaled his cohorts, who then loosed a mortar blast into the deep woods. "Dude, you can't do that!" protested Rex. "So now you're on *his* side?" screamed Timothy Thomas. "You want him to pay his share of the rent, or don't you?" Rex was impressed that he'd remembered about the rent, but *this* was too much. "What if you killed a fuckin' *squirrel*, for chrissakes?" "Right, I'm through playing games, here! I'm about ready to burn down every square inch of this motherfucking forest if I don't get some-- who the fuck are *you*?" Timothy Thomas spat at Rory, who had come up to stand aside Eb in an attempt to learn what had detained their lesson so. Putting his arm around him, Eb beamed, "This is Rory Platner, SCSF: Supreme Commander of the Sasquatch Forces." "Supreme Commander of the who-za-whaaaaat??" screamed Timothy Thomas. "You've been training an *army* up here?" Rex boggled. "*That's* what you've been doing the whole time? But how did you...how did you know that--" "Pam Dawber warned me," Eb cut him off. "Bitch was going through my mail, and saw some of the notices these idjits" -- Eb motioned toward the agents - -- "were sending me." "But...how did she find you?" Rex was pretty amazed. "I dunno. Something about sniffing my underpants (or some shit)." "Oh, well why didn't you say so? And then...so you...uh, what is this, some kind of Ewoks shit?" "Very funny," Eb shot back. But his grimace was real. Fact was, there *wasn't* any Sasquatch army: it was all a bluff. Oh, Pam Dawber *had* warned him, that much was true (and Eb had rewarded her for her trouble by boning her like none other). And Eb had *tried* to create a Sasquatch army. He *had* tried. But the Sasquatch were generally speaking a peace-loving people by nature, and the concept of frontal combat was quite beyond their grasp. This fact (and not their being tired) had, as it happens, been the catching-point in the *Dallas* lesson -- as Eb was to learn soon after, in attempting a resumption of that very same lesson. So now Eb was facing a Catch-22 of inestimable magnitude: if they called his bluff and he couldn't convince them, on the merits, to desist then either the MI5 fucks would in their thirst for vengeance commit a genocidal scorched-earth campaign upon the Sasquatch habitat (and, by extension, the Sasquatch themselves); or Eb would be forced to unleash his johnson upon them in an orgy of violence seldom seen in the state of California. But in so doing, he would be disgraced in the eyes of the Sasquatch, who would then banish him from the very woods he'd grown so deeply to love. But that wasn't even the worst of it: even though it was the *Sasquatch* who would remain here in the woods, it would be *they* who would be thrown into a state of diaspora (metaphorically speaking): for it was *they* who would have been deceived of *his*, Eb's, true nature -- and by Eb himself, no less. Having led them to the oasis of the Infinite Circle Jurk, Eb would have cruelly shewn, by his own actions, that oasis to have been only a fleeting hoax of a heartless mirage. He would have demonstrated to them, before their very eyes, the dark side of his johnson. And they would be lost. In either case, the Sasquatch culture would be destroyed, utterly. And it was *himself*, Eb realised, who would bear the ultimate responsibility for that destruction. Knowing that he had not the mental cunning to convince the MI5 fucks to leave well enough alone, Eb began to cry. And then, catching a glimpse of Agent Joseph through his tears, Eb screeched in agony, "What the hell are you doing eating my *underpants*, you goddam *fuck*?" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2006 23:59:16 -0500 From: "Brian Nupp" Subject: Re: I'll be damned! paging bayard RH 80% >On 1/22/06, Brian Nupp wrote: >> >> So I just got back in from out of town for a few days and I found a >> couple discs awaiting my arrival. some from fegs... and this: >> LOVELETTER: BEETHOVEN CHOPIN KITCHEN FRAUD. > > >Based on the title I would suspect there might've been a Camper Van >Beethoven cover on there as well...? > >-Rx No, i don't believe so.

Moments later, he introduces a guest musician as "the voice of Maurice Windsor - accompanied by his body". If The Fast Show had ever wanted to do a pastiche of a whacked-out, quaint, quintessentially English psychedelic explorer, they could have simply wheeled Hitchcock in front of the camera. After 30 years in the business, the former Soft Boy identifies his music as "folk rock" - a term, he acknowledges, that tends to strike terror into the hearts of anyone not in possession of a woolly cardie and the complete works of Fairport Convention. "I don't think there's anything more threatening," he concedes, even "being strapped naked to a block of ice listening to 50 Cent". But "folk rock" doesn't describe the complexities of Hitchcock's oeuvre: he is part comedian, part social historian. One surreal monologue explains how the Germans' mistake, when invading Poland, was "not having any jokes". After congratulating the audience for having "their eyes in the right place", this vocal critic of the Iraq war serenades "our rock'n'roll prime minister" with I Wanna Destroy You. Perhaps Blair the would-be rocker could have learned from Hitchcock as others have. The Smiths' Johnny Marr is in the audience and REM's Peter Buck is on stage, relishing the smaller venue and the opportunity to weave sparkling Rickenbacker magic around Hitchcock's transcendent guitar patterns. The widely held notion that all Hitchcock's songs are about fish is misleading: here, creatures with scales feature in only one of every two. "Bring me fish eggs and a violin," he croons, beautifully. But lest this get too barmy, Hitchcock delivers a sentiment his audience seem to understand: Television - about TV addling the mind - and its chorus of "Binga bonga, bing-bong!" Hitchcock leads the Minus 3 band long into the night, acknowledging their own influences with a spellbinding take on the Byrds' Eight Miles High. Now 50, fetchingly grey-haired but still looking like an errant sixth former who clambered on stage with some crazy dudes, the genius-guitarist-songwriters' genius-guitarist-songwriter is clearly in no mood to come down.

The reason I'm surprised that I never knew about the UK QE non-release is that a DO remember a few threads speculating about what Robyn's best-selling record had been, and my guess was "Queen Elvis" by a country mile, or maybe "Perspex". "Globe" with the "Balloon Man" video, Creem cover, etc. was a sort of breakthrough, but QE came with tons of guest-host spots on MTV-- I'm sure I saw the "Madonna of the Wasps" video more than any other Robyn clip-- Letterman appearances and such. By the time of PI I no longer watched MTV, so I concede it might've been just as hyped (by Robyn standards), but my feeling is that in that gap between EMF and Grunge, the hopes for a commercial breakthrough of JANGLE ROCK died on the vine. And of course Respect sold so well that A&M dropped Robyn... That said, I did actually hear "Driving Aloud" on NPR last week, back-announced as being from the Greatest Hits album (which is of course harder to find than Respect itself (the album of that title, although actual respect is thin on the ground as well). All of which explains the UK non-issue in no way at all. - -Rx ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2006 13:52:41 -0500 From: "'wojizzle forizzle'" Subject: Re: DIME: Robyn Hitchcock & The Minus 3 - January 25th 2006 - London UK (SBD) hah! joe belock on wfmu just played "give it to the soft boys" from matthijs' scala recording! http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/17914 scroll down a ways. he talked about the "magic of the internet" when backannouncing the set too. woj ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2006 10:53:10 -0800 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: Why does the Academy hate...
