Oh, the poll numbers are clear. It's 100% disapproval for both of us, buddy; you palming it all off on me is more and more disingenuous each time, since I keep pointing out over and over again that folks hate both of us, while you pin it all on etc. etc. hysteria blah blah tantrum whatever whatever little girl yada yada breakdown. Again, nobody buys it. If you want to pin it all on me, crunch these numbers: leaving aside for a moment, difficult as it may be, the Eb vs. Rex explosions for which we are both despised, how often have I insulted a list member out of the blue, acted beligerently, or otherwise done anything offensive enough to upset anyone to the point where I've been publicly taken to task? I can't remember a single time. How often does Eb get people pissed enough to bite back, though? Twice a month for ten years, up to and including last week? Once a week, twice a week? I bet we can find some nice links to at least two times Eb was belligerent and unnecessarily obnoxious enough to draw some kind of reprimand on the feglist in 1998, whether or not Of Montreal was mentioned at the same time. Good money says more people were provoked to angry responses by Eb than the sum total of al E6 bands referred to that year. Any rational analysis would show that I don't attack Eb indiscriminately. Just when he's being a dickhole, which is admittedly a disproportionate amount of the time. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2007 21:41:38 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: Re: My name is "Eb", and I thought you would want to know that everybody squirts...sometimes On 1/29/07, Benjamin Lukoff wrote: > > On Mon, 29 Jan 2007, Stacked Crooked wrote: > > > hey, just checking out his wikipedia entry, and it appears that leonard > > cohen has been signed to columbia continuosly since 1967? is that some > > kind of record? > > Dylan signed with Columbia earlier, and he never left/was never dropped, > correct? No. He put out _Planet Waves_ and _Before the Flood_ on Asylum before re-signing with Columbia. (Subsequently, those albums were reissued on Columbia.) Also, Paul McCartney has been with EMI since 1962--he did have a > brief flirtation with Columbia in the late 70s and early 80s, but that was > in the U.S. only. Which is enough to disqualify him. Actually the question should probably be reframed: longest tenure with single label in a single nation - because not all labels are represented in all nations, so universally being on a single label would be dependent on whether someone happened to sign with a huge enough label to have a worldwide presence. How long was Johnny Cash on Columbia? That's a good one - but his later stuff was on American (which is a Universl/Polygram thing, right?)

I don't know ... :-) Scorpions used to be my favorite band when I was 12-14. Their records from the 70s aren't too bad (I've got every single one up to "Love At First Sting"), but "Animal Magnetism" is borderline. "The Zoo" certainly has its moments, but when I re-listened to it a few months ago I was disappointed. ISTR that the drums are just boring and the riff goes on for too long. I tend to enjoy the pop stuff more these days, e.g. "Make It Real". Semi-funny anecdote: around that time I read a concert review in a magazine that called Scorpions "Deep Purple epigones", which I took to be a compliment.

My last live memory of the Police was when they reunited for the '86 Amnesty International Tour. Mind you, I only saw the gig that was televised on MTV, but the organizers in their wisdom decided that the Police would headline, since they had sold the most albums. This meant that they followed U2. And Peter Gabriel. Can you say "uh oh?" I knew that you could. To my recollection, the Police were never counted as one of the greatest live bands ever, and they hadn't been playing together for two years... but even if they had been coming off a solid six months on the road, they couldn't have held a candle to either of the aforementioned acts. And by comparison, they sounded tinny and rusty and looked leaden and impassive. later, Miles, who actually likes the first couple of Police albums fine ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 12:41:57 -0600 From: Dolph Chaney Subject: Re: every gig you take (0% rumor) Here's hoping they do a whole set list of songs sung by Andy Summers. - -- Dolph At 11:19 AM 1/30/2007, m swedene wrote: >http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070130/en_nm/grammys_police_dc > >Should prove to be interesting. > >Mike > >On 1/30/07, Michael Wells wrote: >>Police reunite for Grammys, maybe more: >> >>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16885906/ >> >>I think it would pretty funny if Copeland whipped a drumstick at the >>back of Der Sting's head. >> >>Michael ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 14:00:13 -0500 From: "Bachman, Michael" Subject: RE: every gig you take (0% rumor) Dolph wrote: >Here's hoping they do a whole set list of songs sung by Andy Summers.

Again, nobody buys it. Anyone with a brain can see how, over and over again, you're chasing after posts which are directed not at you, but at other people. You even proudly admit this, later in this same post. MY mistake is when I fail to ignore your petulant provocations. Again I overestimated you, and figured you would have the good sense to "lay low" for awhile regarding me, following the list's angry response to the extended battle a couple of weeks ago. But...no. You want more. List be damned. > Any rational analysis would show that I don't attack Eb > indiscriminately. Just when he's being a dickhole, which is > admittedly a disproportionate amount of the time. Here is a succinct example of Rex's childishness masked by pretension...on the one hand, we have his bloated prose about "rational analysis," "disproportionate" bad behavior and "discriminating" attacks. On the other, we have him brandishing an infantile insult like "dickhole." You know, I don't think I've used that word in my entire life. More importantly, the above amounts to Rex's resolution to destroy the list in his dogged, self-involved pursuit of me. Now, any time I am in a debate thread which might be described as "strong" or "contentious," Rex has essentially vowed to insert himself and work to turn that mere "contentious" debate into some gruesome, ugly, flamewar spectacle. Because the list's health does not matter to Rex - -- only that my posts do not go "unpunished." Already we've amply seen this behavior in recent weeks, where he bounded into existing threads to either aim direct insults at me or to hump the leg of whoever opposed me and smother him/her with "See what a jerk Eb is? See? See? SEE??" We've also seen that his "discriminating" threshold for this sort of flailing antagonism is low enough that he'll even try to start a battle over a single post pointing out when I first talked about Of Montreal. So, it's easy to forecast just how persistent his unhinged baiting will be in the future. It was pretty clear that Rex committed himself to a path of no return when he began trying to implant the restraining-order accusations. He's "all in," to borrow some poker terminology. There is no turning back now. His mission is me. My every quarrel becomes his war. I guess the primary questions in my mind now are... 1) Is the list really worth this irritation for me? It's kinda like trying to watch a movie while a baby is bawling in the row behind you - -- and it seems almost a certainty that this dynamic is permanent now. That movie had better be a good one. 2) Is it fair to the other subscribers that, even if I choose to ignore Rex, they will be forced to see him repeatedly shrieking at me in a manner which goes far, far beyond the normal parameters of mailing-list disagreements?

Erm, my reputation has little to lose, I shoulda said. I guess. It doesn't occur to me that ideas like "destruction" or "kamikaze raids" might be inferred from anything I say.

You know, I fundamentally misunderstood a flawed point you were trying to make. It never occurred to me that you thought that comments under subject headings that had to do LYLAS or whatever but didn't address that band had to be about those band. Of course my digs at you were towards you. But they were never camouflaged as anything else... "You fucking rule, Eb" was in no way a passive-agressive swipe at you via Of Montreal, it was a plain-as-daylight swipe at you. Similarly, "I don't much like Dresden Dolls" was not a swipe at you at all, but a statement of opinion about a band. I sorta keep these things separate, hard as that may be for you to grasp. And here's a surprise, you can armchair-analyze me until the cows come home, but you don't have much to say about my dead-on characterization that you'll never ever leave the list no matter how much you threaten because in your ego of egos, that would be the ultimate failure?

Good reason to set yourself on fire. What DID you hope to prove with that, Eb? Nuppy knows who turned him onto that band. We know that whatever the hell else is wrong with you, you have more free time and compulsion to discover bands, than the rest of us, so it didn't impress anyone. Step back from it, and you can see what a self-important poseur it made you look like. - -Rex ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V16 #28 *******************************
