YES!

That era of Lowe's work has always been a favorite of mine - here's hoping
the reissues continue...

Good lord but Yep Roc needs to hire a copy editor. First "faire" in the
Robyn blurb, now "pouring over"...

<3. Robyn Hitchcock and The Egyptians - Fegmania!>

for some reason, while i do rank them against each other, it never occurs
to me to rank robyn's records against other artists'.  but i would rank
*Gotta Let This Hen Out!* over *Fegmania!*.


<The problem with that analogy is that a good baseball player might play
10, 15, 20 years...whereas very few musicians release that many albums>

one would expect them to have in order to earn hall o' fame consideration
- -- just as a baseball player must have played at least ten years.


<Plus which the RnRHoF is mostly "did they have a hit? Okay, they're in."
It's gotten increasingly meaningless.>

ah, see, i really don't know anything about the rock and/or roll hall.


<Since the announcement  that Yep Roc will be releasing Nick Lowe's 'Jesus

"pouring"?  looks as though it's about time yep roc announced the hiring of
a new proofreader.


now watch this: <URL:http://preview.tinyurl.com/3y3jtz>.  the band's
"singer" looks like he could be real singer pete quirk's father -- but i
don't know that to be the case.

Excellent point.  How about Love, for that matter?  One great record, half
of another one, and plenty of worthy moments on either side.

hi feglist,

every once in awhile, rolling stone justifies its bi-weekly visits to
my mailbox**.  the most recent issue featured an interview with cormac
mccarthy which i really enjoyed reading.  it turns out that he hangs
out at the santa fe institute with all the science geeks, asking the
Big Questions.  and he's even pals with lisa randall (my personal
favourite when it comes to female theoretical physicists.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Fe_Institute

i couldn't find a link to the article on the rolling stone website,
but if you like mr. mccarthy's work, and if you're ready for a break
from the christmas shopping, take a look at the current rolling stone
(you _are_ doing all your christmas shopping at the book and/or record
store, no?)

as ever,
lauren

** a bit of of an exaggeration as i'm quite fond of peter travers'
movie reviews.

I don't think it was an official US release until '86, and that's when
I bought it.  But it was so widely available as an import that I
wouldn't quibble.  It's better off in '86 for me, anyway - '85 was my
all-time fave year in music, and '86 has a somewhat weaker field.

> 19. Cocteau Twins - Pink Opaque

Compilations ineligible for my lists.  The Cocteau Twins did have
three very good EPs in '85, though, and I'm willing to count them.

Here's my top 40 of '85.  The first 17 are unquestionable classics in
my book, and we're still talking four-out-of-five stars as low as #30.
 The full list at
http://www.mindspring.com/~outdoorminer/miles/mkgbest.html goes on
quite a ways beyond that:

1) Jason and the Scorchers, Lost and Found
2)  Kate Bush, Hounds of Love
3)  Shriekback, Oil and Gold
4) Midnight Oil, Red Sails in the Sunset
5) X, Ain't Love Grand
6)  The Jazz Butcher, Sex & Travel
7)  Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Southern Accents
8)  Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians, Fegmania!
9)  Prefab Sprout, Two Wheels Good
10)  The Pogues, Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash
11)  Richard Thompson, Across a Crowded Room
12)  Tom Waits, Rain Dogs
13) The Cure, The Head on the Door
14)  Killing Joke, Night Time
15)  The Fall, This Nation's Saving Grace
16) R.E.M., Fables of the Reconstruction
17) Bryan Ferry, Boys and Girls
18) John Mellencamp, Scarecrow
19) The Hoodoo Gurus, Mars Needs Guitars
20) The Minutemen, Three-Way Tie (For Last)
21) Husker Du, Flip Your Wig
22) Husker Du, New Day Rising
23) Mekons, Fear and Whiskey
24) New Order, Low-Life
25) ABC, How To Be a Zillionaire
26) The Golden Palominos, Visions of Excess
27) The Church, Heyday
28) Prince, Around the World in a Day
29) Game Theory, Real Nighttime
30) Cabaret Voltaire, The Arm of the Lord
31) The Cocteau Twins, Aikea-Guinea EP
32) The Three O'Clock, Arrive Without Travelling
33) Squeeze, Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti
34) Bob Dylan, Empire Burlesque
35) Love and Rockets, Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven
36) Robert Plant, Shaken 'n' Stirred
37) The Cocteau Twins, Echoes in a Shallow Bay EP
38) Run-DMC, King of Rock
39) The Replacements, Tim
40) Big Audio Dynamite, This Is Big Audio Dynamite

later,

Miles
