<I want to get a Zombies CD for my son for his birthday, and I was thinking
of getting him Odessey & Oracle because it has been mentioned here more
than once, and because I love the song Care of Cell 44.  What are your
thoughts, fegs?>

rather than buying him one CD, download a whole fu-shizzle of 'em, burn the
MP3s to a single data DVD, draw up some homemade artwork...et voila!


<(The man made Jaws, ET, Close Encounters, the Raiders movies, Private
Ryan, and Munich for God's sake)>

apart from *Citizen Kane*, i can't think of a more overrated movie than
*Jaws*.  there probably *are* some; but i cayn't think of them right now.
*Close Encounters* and *Raiders* seemed great at the time, but don't hold
up well.  (i suspect the same is true of *ET*, though i've not seen it in
ages.)  the second and third indiana jones movies sucked, and the fourth
one's gonna probably *really* suck.  *Amistad* was about as bad as
movie-making can get.  *War Of The Worlds* was as bad as any shyamalan
movie has ever been (and that's *very* fucking bad).  *A.I.* and *Minority
Report* were nearly unwatchable.

i thought *Schindler's* was pretty decent, though; and quite loved *Catch
Me If You Can*.  still need to see *Munich*.


<Jurassic Park, because he realized that go-motion was dead and gave
computer animation its next huge surge after Terminator 2 and had us
believing that dinosaurs could walk the earth once again.>

did you *honestly* find the dinosaurs even remotely believable?  honestly?
you can argue that it was state of the art for its time, if you like; and
that, say, *Lord Of The Rings*' CGI is fully seamless (i'd stukk disagree
with you, but will acknowledge that many people *wouldn't* disagree with
you).  but to argue that *Jurassic*'s CGI was believable?  i think you're
smoking something untoward, brother.


<hiding from The Weed Man>

tee-hee.  reminds me of "cookie man" from *Kicking And Screaming*.  and
anything that reminds me of *Kicking And Screaming* is cause for
celebration.


<Either way, its been a long-ass time. I think I grew tired of being a
human mic-stand.>

fair enough.  but you made some fucking beautiful recordings, man!


<I think I would really take to something from the current generation of
hard drive or flash-based recorders. Just have no clue what to get, or
where to start reading.>

<URL:http://forums.oreilly.com/content/Audio-Community/20/Portable-Digital-R
ecorders/>.  their review of the LS-10 is forthcoming.



<Okay, totally naive question here. This is from someone who's never
recorded a rock'n'roll show, ever. And so my question has to do with
protocol and technique: so let's say I buy one of these units (which look
very cool regardless of the fact that since I'm an old man who hates
cigarette smoke but lives in an ashtray of a state, I rarely go to shows
any more)>

oh, man!  washington state's indoor-smoking ban is the greatest, greatest,
greatest, greatest, greatest thing to ever have happened to concert-going.
(well, at least if you live in washington state...)


<Does one need to be all surreptitious, or just set the damned thing on the
table (if there is one), or keep it sequestered in a pocket (would that bug
the mics?), etc? Or does one ask politely about taping and *then* be sneaky
or not?>

some of this will repeat what Hwy. said.  in general, i'd say don't act as
though you're doing anything wrong, but also don't make a big production
out of it (unless you're certain the artist is taper friendly, and want to
either plug in to the board, or go all out and mount your mics ten feet
high (or what)).  for club shows, it's usually not a big deal.  but if they
do give you a hassle, either at the door, or inside the venue, ask them to
please ask the artist if they mind.  usually, the artist will say, "as long
as you're not going to sell it, it's fine."  in the case of robyn, he'll
probably say, "please send me a copy."

for arena shows, a great little trick learned to me by erstwhile feg pete
palmer is: put your gear in a fanny-pack, turn it around to the small of
your back, strap it up good and tight, and wear a loose t-shirt over it.
if they *still* notice it during the pat-down, tell 'em it's an iPod!
might not always work, but it's always worked for me.  i recall reading in
a thread somewhere that a guy was messing around with his rig before a show
one time, and when a security guard chanced to notice, and asked him what
was going on, he told him that he was "trying to get the score of the sox
game," and all was good with the guard.  so, again: act as though you're
doing nothing wrong.

setting it on a table should be fine, so long as you're fairly discrete --
but you'll probably want to have an external mic available, for those shows
when you will be standing, and will want to put the recorder in your
pocket.


good luck!  the new pornos and okkervil river will be in chicago on april
20th -- please have got all the kinks worked out before then, so as you can
bring us a superb document!

carrie, did you like *Mongolian Ping-Pong*?  i wouldn't exactly call it
"bleak", but it was definitely sparse and slowly paced.  took me a few
sittings to actually get through it; but when all was said and done, i was
rather in love with it.

Okay, "Jaws" is really good, but that's down mostly to Robert Shaw.  And a
good script.  And a pretty sharp portrayal of a family falling apart, which
Spielberg did really well before... well... I remember reading that in some
commentary on a recent DVD of CE3K, Spielberg said that if he was making the
movie today, he wouldn't have the lead character abandon his family.  What,
then, the hell would happen in that movie?

My opinion is, of course, extremely biased since I've been working  
professionally in CGI for the past 20 years now, however, at the time  
it WAS groundbreaking enough to pass as believable in the telling of  
the story.  And I'm typically the jaded one picking apart every shot.

Today, the work done by WETA on King Kong (i still had some problems  
with a number of shots in LOTR) is orders of magnitude above what ILM  
was able to accomplish back then.  Obviously, ILM continues to push  
the envelope as evidenced by the seamless and convincing integration  
in both Transformers and the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy.

The funny thing here is, everyone likes to criticize without actually  
knowing what real dinosaur skin looks like, or how they actually moved  
in real life.  I still believe the portrayal back in '93 was  
convincing enough to bring the premise to life.  But hey, that's not  
just me.

Only one I've seen is the original Solaris. If watching paint dry was 
hypnotic and fascinating rather than the epitomee of boredom, then it 
would be like this film. Deeply interesting, yet slow as.

Yeah, some localities have bans, but nothing state-wide. We have an
uberpowerful tavern league here, and they're concerned they're going to lose
business. That *might* be true on a local basis, if people can just drive to
the next town over...but of course that's the logic behind a statewide ban.
And all our neighboring states either have banned or will be shortly be
banning indoor smoking...'course, that's probably got border-adjacent bar
owners salivating.

Ah hell - in ten years they'll all have dropped dead from cancer anyway.

Gun-jumping! I don't even own a recorder yet. You'll have to rely on one of
the other Chicago or near-Chicago (Milwaukee's a mere hour-two away
depending on traffic) fegs for that show, probably. I think all Chicago fegs

At first I read that as "Santorum under the Sign of the Hourglass."

I actually don't even know if CA at large bans indoor smoking, as LA has
for-- damn, must be close to a decade.  I have always assumed that one
reason we've gotten away with it, and probably one of the reasons we were
earlier about it, is because it never gets horrendously cold outside.  I
also have the impression, backed up by nothing, really, that it's quicker to
catch on in urban areas... peer pressure from dense and relatively educated
populations?  Dunno.

Indoor smoking in public access locations is prohibited throughout
the state, though for bars where the only workers are the owners --
meaning no employees -- are exempt.

True dat.  And for all of you smokers who think you can hide in the  
doorway on a rainy day, smoking is prohibited within something like 20  
feet from the door.  It's a beautiful thing.

I actually think it encourages people to stop smoking.  Only a  
fraction of the people I know smoke anymore, while before the ban it  
was quite prevalent.

it also helps the pathetic folks who quit many, many years ago, yet
still occasionally have to remind themselves that was a *good* thing.

i mean, on the "pro" side, i still think the apocalypse would get me
before the cigarettes would, but now to the "con" side i've added
"complete pain in the ass" and "no real reason to ever leave house
again."  so it's about even, and i let "major carcinogen" break the
tie.

are you fraking serious?

if so, that will be moving straight near the top of the great rock 'n'
roll quotes**.  the other of the top three will still be brett
anderson's confession to being "a bisexual who's never had a
homosexual experience", and john lydon's statement: "i hate all music.
 except 'roadrunner' by the modern lovers.'  (feel free to share
favourite rock 'n' roll quotes - i'm a sucker for quotes.  even moreso
for good ones.)

as ever,
lauren

** although, even if you're not serious, i bet this will happen anyway.

I couldn't have made that up...it would have been from Trouser Press
magazine back in the 80s somewhere; probably still moldering in a box in a
closet or something. - something to do with the tribulations of his band
Nite City of which I know nothing, and how Iggy showed up for some kind of
audition and walked into the room butt nekkid, hence Manzarek's typically
pompous remark...quarter to 3 here, couldn't sleep & I've been entertaining
myself watching Youtube clips of Lyle the intern from the Letterman show.
Funniest stuff I've seen in a coon's age (whatever that means).

With the glaciers and ice caps receding, it's only a matter of time
before some intact ones with skins are found. Current belief is that
T-Rex was not a hunter of live dinosaurs, but a scavenger of the dead
ones due to the shape of it's teeth and short arms.

Really? When I went to that page I got a "Patsy Kensit's transparent dress" link. Now
*that* girl is actually flashing us. In your face, Madonna! Iggy has it so easy, and
looks so much happier than either of them... Speaking of, the Fug Girls have one of
their "what they are secretly thinking" posts on that particular shot here:

Robyn Hitchcock & Grant Lee Phillips
Two Bells Tavern
Secret Gig
Belltown, Seattle, WA
September 4, 1999
Recorded by JEMS

NAK 300 on stand > Casio DA-R100 > Master DAT > TC Finalizer > Master CD-R > FLAC

01 Intro
02 It Sounds Great When You're Dead (Hitchcock)
03 Sleeping Knights of Jesus (Hitchcock)
04 Viva Sea-Tac (Hitchcock)
05 The Hook (Phillips)
06 What Goes On (Lou Reed)
07 Fuzzy (Phillips)
08 Mockingbirds (Phillips)
09 Trams of Old London (Hitchcock)
10 I Feel Beautiful (Hitchcock)
11 Gene Hackman (Hitchcock)

14 Satellite of Love (Lou Reed)
15 Sound and Vision (Bowie)
16 Stars n Stripes (Phillips)
17 I've Got a Feeling (Beatles)
18 The Shallow End (Phillips)

With Robyn in town to play Bumbershoot a couple of nights later, he and his pal Grant Lee Phillips 
dropped in unannounced (but whispered) to their favorite watering hole in Seattle. 
Having heard the whisper, JEMS set up a discrete rig right in front of the duo who performed
unamplifed. 
The result is a charming, surprisingly focused performance that visits material from 
both artists along with some choice covers before an assembled throng of perhaps 25
Fans of either artist should enjoy this one.
Butterking for JEMS
