Yes, especially on Hitchcock Railway. Hitchcock Railway Don Dunn Tony McCashen Two train tickets into LA One round trip the other way I get the feeling where a feather falls I get the feeling when tomorrow calls We'll be calling for love Home trip, ticket to sail away Hand grip, Hitchcock railway Soft ride, made for comfort Been tried, guaranteed password Hitchcock railway Don't you fail to pay I'm gonna ride, I'm gonna testify Save my soul, renew your mind Good stop, good day Hitchcock railway Free fare, conductor's coming Prepare, better start running On time, hold that foodline Stateline, I've been convicted Goodstop, good day Hitchcock railway Gonna buy myself a ticket I'll be on that train tonight On that loving train That train of freedom ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 15:22:02 -0400 From: "Jeremy Osner" Subject: Re: is this thing on? Strangers on a train, Exchanging glances... Hey I just got cryptic email from YepRoc saying they had sent me a package with unidentified music in it. Could this be the Luminous Groove?

Could this be the Luminous > Groove? I got a similar e-mail (from "11spot" actually), and since I've recently ordered nothing else from Yep Roc or any other label they distribute, I'm pretty sure that yes, a Luminous Groove is upon us shortly. Just played Lennon's "Remember" - which, because I've listened to it less often in recent years, always now reminds me of Robyn's "Somewhere Apart"...rather than, of course, the reverse, since pretty obviously it's that particular song Robyn was emulating there. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 12:06:54 -0700 (PDT) From: Poem Lover Subject: Re: is this thing on?

(no tiresome Hitchcockery) Something that made me giggle uncontrollably: http://www.mitchclem.com/mystupidlife/87/ Back in the punk rock daze I went through a phase of celebrating my hillbilly roots (rhymes with "puts," not "shoots") which involved, among other things, liberal consumption of both Big Red and whatever store-brand, cheapo strawberry soda happened to be available. Ultimately it got too disgusting even for me, but this strip brought back some wonderful, corn-dog-flavored memories...my apologies to our feg brethren & sistren not blessed with access to the vile cornucopia of American culture. So, whadya think? Are we finally going to have that shootin' war with the Russkies they used to warn us about when I was in grade school? np: streaming WNYU, thanks to the miracle of tha Internest. If it all goes to hell next week at least we'll have this kool tech stuff to reminisce about over succulent scraps of stray dog, grilled on a fire built of my old 1960s Sax Rohmer paperbacks. ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V16 #683 ********************************
