(although perhaps the venue's system wasn't doing them any favours, either.) no for them, yes for him -- assuming you're referring to the male keyboarder, and not the female keyboarder. actually, i notice that immaculate machine (the female keyboarder's "real" band, and whose new-ish album is pretty damned good) are playing here next week, so maybe she's not with the pornos right now (which'd make sense considering that, at least on dan's songs, they're a seven-instrument outfit, and you only counted six). seems that english-language performers are often reticent- or subdued-sounding when performing in non-english-speaking countries. granted, y'all probably speak it better than we all do; but bands apparently figure that nobody will understand their catty/witty between-song exchanges. either that, or by the time they reach europe, they've been touring like dogs for weeks, and can't wait to get home. or something. a seattle act which is getting gobs of great press in the local alterna-rags. the CD bores me to tears, as did the bumbershoot performance. oh, well. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2007 21:23:10 -0500 From: gaseous clay Subject: NEW on DIME: Robyn Hitchcock - Grove Arts Centre, Dorchester, UK 19 Feb 1988 cassette master http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=172653&hit=1 - -------- Original Message -------- A new torrent has been uploaded to DIME.

I think it was a lof of people's first exposure to him-- it was mine-- and that "Balloon Man" and "Madonna" are a lot more uniquely Robyn-y than "SYTIIL". I mean, I've never heard anyone misattribute that song to anyone other than Robyn, but I can imagine it happening... not so much with "Balloon Man" or "Madonna". - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2007 22:03:15 -0800 From: Rex Subject: Re: what the frack?

Kathryn Calder *was* there. She has a great voice. On the records I can't yet tell which voice is hers and which is Neko Case (who wasn't there). There are pictures from the show here, so you can see for yourself what lineup they had: > seems that english-language performers are often reticent- or > subdued-sounding when performing in non-english-speaking countries. Unfortunately I've made the same observation. Robyn is like that as well. > granted, y'all probably speak it better than we all do; but bands > apparently figure that nobody will understand their catty/witty > between-song exchanges. Not all bands are like that. Bands I've seen in Germany who really interacted with the audience a lot are e.g.: The Decemberists, Belle & Sebastian and Yo La Tengo. > either that, or by the time they reach europe, > they've been touring like dogs for weeks, and can't wait to get home. or > something.

I really liked both the show and the CD. It's not something I'm likely to listen to every day, but it's goog for what it is. I'm curious if there will be steps in other musical directions ahead. If she sticks to that style it might get old. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2007 11:11:20 +1300 From: grutness@slingshot.co.nz Subject: reap Evel Knievel, 69 James - -- James Dignan, Dunedin, New Zealand -.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.- =-.-=-.-=-.- You talk to me as if from a distance .-=-.-=-.-=-. -=-.
