How is that I forgot the existence of the oracle? Wikipedia agrees with me: ** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation *"Six degrees of separation* refers to the idea that, if a person is one "step" away from each person he or she knows and two "steps" away from each person who is known by one of the people he or she knows, then everyone is no more than six "steps" away from each person on Earth." Zero degrees of separation doesn't mean that you've merged with the person, it's just that there's no intervening person betwixt you. As in, you know each other personally.

One really bad one that still sticks out in my mind even though I haven't heard the song in 15+ years is "Time and Space" by Flesh for Lulu. It might not even be that bad, but it's certainly in the wrong goddamn song. I have a hard time thinking of what my favorite solos would be, just because if it's one I really like it fits so seamlessly into the song that it doesn't really feel that much like a solo, just like part of the song. Not that it has to be inconspicuous, but should sound so organically in place that you don't necessarily think about it being the "solo" unless you are looking for guitar (or piano or cello or bassoon or whatever) solos. I'm sure someone else can phrase that more efficiently.

I recently started combing through my CDRs of things I've acquired over the years and have been digging all the Robyn oddities that appeared in the mid-90s like _Uncarved Pumpkins_ and _Unhatched Crablings_. Oh, plus _Ole Tarantula_ is the best thing he's done since _Jewels_ and the new live EP that's coming out has got me stoked as well. So I'm chock full of questions: Does anyone have the corresponding dates and venues for each of the tracks on _Netsurfer Ghost_? Bayard, your Asking Tree is invaluable. Any thoughts on making note of different versions of officially released tracks, i.e. single version or remixes? Are there any rumours of Yep Roc planning a reissue series a-la Billy Bragg? All the Rhino reissues are out of print, right? How cool would the original album be paired with a choice show from the same era? Does anyone have MP3s for "Deck Of Cards", "Zip Zip" and "Creatures Of Light" they'd like to trade? Did any other Unhatched Crablings volumes past #4 come out? Surely there's enough original material (outside of the seemingly endless supply of covers) to get something going. And distribution these days is so much simpler than tape trees. I used "I Feel Beautiful" for my wedding song. And my bachelor party was going to see the Soft Boys. Anyone else incorporate The Man into their big events? No, I didn't name any children after him - yet, one more to go. I'm definitely going to see him at TT's in Cambridge at the end of March. Any interest in Feg dinner plans?

Huh, your collection leaves off about where Michael's (previously) started. The Brix years are golden, of course, but there have quite a few very good records since then, even a handful of classics by my reckoning. (The upcoming record is not one of the best, but it's not bad, and there have been two really nice ones among the last, let's say, five-- the one that was started off as "Country on the Click" is great in all of its many iterations). - -Rex - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 11:18:44 -0800 From: Rex Subject: Re: That's enough guitars (ed.)

They have so many damn records that it always felt to me like Mark E. Smith doesn't go into the studio so much as someone just turns the recorder on again. Actually, Robyn seems a bit like that to me. I like on "Gotta Let This Hen Out" video how he wanders around with his guitar amusing or scaring people or is singing "Ghost Ship" (perhaps endlessly) in the background. xo Lauren, not a musician - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "People with opinions just go around bothering one another." - The Buddha ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 11:41:05 -0800 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: That's enough guitars (ed.)

(Is that salacious enough for you, Rex?) all right, so many of you are probably aware that a friend of bayard's has been sending me DVDs to seed over at dime. well, the latest batch was a set of three DVDs of teevee appearances and videos. i took the liberty of cutting out some duplicate material and rearranging the running order, and making a few other structural changes. in so doing, i was able to get everything onto two discs. now there're a few more issues to deal with. all-told, it's about two hours of material, but was encoded at a very high bit-rate, and with LPCM rather than AC-3 audio. so, would you rather it be shared as-is, or re-encoded to fit onto a single single-layer disc? and if as-is, would you rather the menu be set up to burn as a single double-layer disc, or two single-layer discs? (obviously, if the former, it could still be burnt onto two discs for those without dual-layer burners -- but they'd have to create their own menus, or go without menus.) secondly, it can't be shared at dime, for various reasons. two alternate trackers -- viz., yeeshkul! and purelivegigs -- have been suggested to me. my own preference would be either to upload it to usenet, or to vine it. lemme know what you think, and i'll see if i can figure out what to do with it. at any rate, here's what's on the discs: - -- the soft boys performing "Only The Stones", 1980. - -- the egyptians (including roger!) performing "Lightbulb Head", "Uncorrected Personality Traits", "Heaven", and "Brenda's Iron Sledge"; from the *Old Grey Whistle Test*. presumably 1985 -- anybody know exactly when roger got the sack? - -- the egyptians performing "Uncorrected Personality Traits" and "Vibrating", and robyn yukking it up with kevin seal; from *120 Minutes*, 1988. - -- robyn performing "Raymond Chandler" in an empty room; 1990. - -- a *Week In Rock* *Eye* feature in which robyn strolls around NYC with his geetar; 1990. - -- the egyptians performing "Birds In Perspex" and "Oceanside"; from canadian teevee show *Much Music*, 1992. - -- the egyptians performing "Ultra-Unbelievable Love" and "Oceanside"; from the dennis miller show; 1992. - -- robyn performing "I Something You"; from the conan o'brien show, 1995. - -- robyn performing "Devil's Radio"; from the spud goodman show, 1996. - -- robyn performing "NASA Clapping" and "Dark Princess"; from the *Circuit* DVD, 1999. - -- robyn performing "Freeze"; from *Reverb*, 1999. - -- robyn talking about syd barrett and performing "Dominoes" and "It Is Obvious"; from the *Pink Floyd And Syd Barrett Story* DVD, 2003. - -- robyn performing "Full Moon In My Soul"; on WFMU, 2004. - -- videos for: "Balloon Man", "Driving Aloud", the circle jerks' "I Wanna Destroy You" (as told to beavis and butthead), "Madonna Of The Wasps", "One Long Pair Of Eyes", "Raymond Chandler", and "So You Think You're In Love". i'd never seen the vid for "So You Think You're In Love" -- it's actually pretty funny/cool. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 17:41:26 -0500 From: "Lauren Elizabeth" Subject: Re: How do you *want* it?

I don't really have any idea what you're talking about. Nevertheless... I recently downloaded one part of a two-part DVD and thought it was set up in an interesting way: http://www.purelivegigs.com/forums/showthread-t_4849.html You can either download either part I, part II, or both and arrange the files just so in order to burn either both or either part to DVD. So could two menus be made for the RH DVD - one for dual-layer and one for single-layer and the downloader pick which one(s) to use when burning? xo Lauren P.S. I think someone already mentioned the BBC California documentary onlist. If you haven't seen it, it's still being seeded (it's part II in that link - you will have to register if you haven't already (free)). I enjoyed it very much and recommend it if you like music documentaries. It's a bit sugar-coated but all the better IMO. - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "People with opinions just go around bothering one another." - The Buddha ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 17:59:03 -0500 From: "Lauren Elizabeth" Subject: Ihr Boot I guess the one-seater is for loner-types. http://www.uboatworx.com/flash/index.html - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "People with opinions just go around bothering one another." - The Buddha ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 15:20:33 -0800 From: Rex Subject: Is it the bird, or the egg, that is jelly-like in nature?

I basically feel like 1 & 2 are very good examples of what they are; 3 & 4 are poor examples of both what they are and most other things to boot.

The kids are naive, yes - but it's absolutely absurd to apply "child pornography" charges to 16 and 17 year olds making movies of themselves (you know they don't give a fuck about anybody else - go to Las Wages...). Especially since they didn't show them to anyone else. The argument that they "could have sold them to child pornographers" is absurd on about a zillion levels: 16- and 17-year-olds don't look like children (they look, physically, like adults: news flash), and the leap from two kids filming themselves having sex for jollies to *selling* photos of themselves to unspecified strangers is, uh, pretty broad. What really ought to happen is that whichever parents found and brought the photos to cops ought to be prosecuted: for "child" pornography, and for wasting everyone's time and money. Sheesh. (TMI Dept: The two kids involved were exactly the ages my then-g/f and I were the first time we had sex. I don't know if, had the tech been there, we would have been dumb enough to document things and e-mail the documentation to one another...but we might have. (Note: I am 45, so instead we would have had to have hired a guy to paint images on the cave walls.) Good job, parents: now your kids are sex offenders and 'child" pornographers, thanks to your do-goodism.

I always got Better Than Ezra confused with the equally lamely named Ednaswap.
