that's how i ended up renting it as well.  i liked the title - it
sounded kind of forlorn, like a gus van zant movie, except perhaps
good.

re: suburbia - i keep meaning to look up this book i saw in a museum
book store.  it was a photographer who must have done the promotional
shots for the third season of "six feet under" (the ones with the
family, et. al. standing around in a bunch of flowers.)  he's kind of
a one-trick pony, but he did all these lovely shots of sort of
teenagers standing around 3AM suburban streets - like angela chase
home after a party, contemplative and a bit lonely.

> Now "The Real Dirt on Farmer John" - THAT's a good documentary!

you didn't make that up, did you? (it sounded like a porn movie.)
i've been looking for good documentaries to rent - any other
recommendations?

It's not a type of garment used for biking, but in fact a shirt which
depicts a bicycle.  I can't find an image of it online (and feel weird
trying, because I'm actually wearing it now), but here's something from the

And how!

Tom Hulce, (one of my favorite actors not for Amadeus but for The  
Inner Circle, which has yet to appear on DVD) was consumed for  
several years getting a play of The Cider House Rules to theater. It  
was a two-night event. He is, mostly, directing for the stage these  
days.

Pity that - me neither. I do remember, though, one time at a gay bar in
Madison in the mid-eighties, there with Rose, our friend Lori(n)*, her
roommate Steve, and their landlord Rich (who was the only one among us who
was gay, and why we were there), ending up conversing with a guy at the bar,
and taking at least five minutes to realize I was, in fact, being hit on.
Quite flattering, in fact - but since it was (I imagined) fairly obvious
that if I was gay, I wasn't the sort of "let's adjourn to the bathroom for a
quick BJ" type, he wasn't blunt about it at all. Which was nice, in that it
allowed me to back out with (I hope) equal subtlety. I somehow felt it was
in bad taste to mention "my girlfriend," and merely mentioned "my friends"
collectively, rejoined them, and that was that.

* She alternated between "Lori" and "Lorin" - depending whether she felt the
latter was pretentious or not. A very funny young woman, an aspiring artist,
sort of odd-looking in a very intriguing way, and a woman I had a terrible
crush on. As noted above, I was already with Rose - and did want to stay
that way, so things were a bit awkward at times. Esp. one night when a bunch
of us, at Lori and her roommates' place, ended up quite a bit drunk, Rose
having retired early (and, I can't quite remember how this worked, leaving
separately although not in a weird or disgruntled way), and I ended up
staying the night. I volunteered to stay on the couch; Lori said, nah, sleep
in the bed...even though that was supposed to be an (ostensibly) non-sexual
gesture, it really wasn't, of course. Nothing much happened...but very
awkward all the same. Sleeping, when you're drunk, in the same bed with a
woman you very much desire is not an advisable course of action if you
simultaneously do not actually want to have sex with her...

And Wolfie's all like, Wolfman don't truck with no VEJUHTABLES, man! And

I actually like(d) Coppola's Dracula, but Frankenstein was bad in a way I 
hadn't thought possible, given the cast and the director. I still don't 
know what went wrong. OK, Branagh has an overinflated ego, but that hasn't 
kept him from making great to alright movies, generally.

Robyn  Hitchcock 
The Flood Zone 
Richmond, VA, USA 

April 24, 1990  

01 - Satellite 
02 - I Could've Become A Good Musician 
03 - Queen  Of Eyes

23 - Listening To The Higsons 
24 - He'll Never Get A Job Doing  Voice-Overs 
25 - I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine 
26 - Chinese Bones*  

NB: 02, 06, 09, 12, 18, 20, 22, 24 are not crazy, unknown songs, but my  
names for between-song banter 

Lineage: 
Cassette Master => PC  (Sound Forge 6: 16-bit, 2-channel PCM at 44100 samples 
per second) => CD-R;  ripped with Audiograbber 1.83 => Sound Forge 8 for 
editing (tracking and a  +3.90 dB Volume increase using; there may have been a bit 
of monkeying about  with v.6 immediately after capture, but that was long 
ago; except *) => FLAC  1.2.1 (Level 8, Align on Sector Boundaries, Verify) => 
You 


* This  track had problems (lots of digital glitching; EAC could not save 
it), probably  due to the age of the original burn. Thus, I had to use the "EQ'd 
&  Reverb'd" version (thankfully intact). The edit was seamless, same +3.90 dB 
 Volume boost applied, so don't even bother looking for it ;-) Sonically it's 
 gotta be different, but I rarely went crazy with EQing, so hopefully it 
won't  detract for those with highly discerning ears and Hi-Fis. It's worth having 
it  glitch-free, of course. 


Many thanks to the taper.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

This one's a bit "roomier" than The Flood Zone show; a lot of this is  due to 
his insane (IN-SANE) use of effects, which the samples should reflect.  This 
also rates an EX IMO, though the spaciousness may drop it a notch or two  for 
some (or raise it for others). When played back using faux surround sound  
(like CS II Music) on a 5.1 system, I find boosting the CTR channel a notch and  
adding +1 to the Center Focus helps (could even knock a few dBs off the 
Rears).  It sounds good in reg'lar ol' flat stereo, too (I stooped to preview for 
y'all  ;-) 

The best thing about this show, esp. in contrast to The Flood Zone  gig, is 
the banter and in-song zaniness... and he doesn't have a cold. Both the  
samples come from songs where he applies that special Hitchcockian touch to the  
lyrics ('Clean Steve' is simply outta this world). 

There's some slight  low-end mic-bumping type sounds in the early stages, but 
because they don't  occur after that, I decided to leave it as-is so as to 
get it out to all you  Fegmaniacs that much more quickly. 

I do believe you'll enjoy this one :D  

BTW, I'm fairly certain that neither this nor The Flood Zone show has  seen 
the light of day before now (at least not these recordings), which is  always 
nice, eh.

Can we say "autobiography at the age of 28?" I mean Henry V was great  
but his Hamlet???
I will concede he was a fabulous Iago in Othello but then, perhaps it  
wasn't that much of a stretch...

Hey, that's a good reliable Canadian documentary. No dissing it.

I think I was at the world premiere.

Bah, to me it's a classic computer game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frak!

How come I can't see it?

Other than the restraining order, I mean.
