Any recommendations for San Francisco or San Jose? They're all over the place around here, considering our large Asian population. You'll also find it called "Pearl Tea" in a lot of places. In all your walking/driving around you're bound to run into it. As a matter of fact I wouldn't be surprised if you could grab one on your way out of the airport. - -tc ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2009 10:59:39 -0800 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: Eb-Ism Now And Forever On Feb 28, 2009, at 8:56 AM, Nectar At Any Cost! wrote: > - two > movies with the same actor playing impossibly different roles.

Max For five and a half years I was a rabid audience taper. I recorded maybe 75-100+ shows on minidisc with high quality clip on directional microphones. They've been gathering dust for a while, so I decided to bust some out and listen to them. Then I thought it would be great to share some highlights with old and new friends here on the web. I hope this is going to be the first in a series of these discs. They are mp3s and are unedited, there are some bit's of intros to the previous artists next song, which you won't hear. There are no smooth fades or transitions and the sound quality is almost all very good. Audience recording do not sound like studio releases but honestly after a minute or so you get acclimated to hearing it. I started this a couple of weeks ago and have been a little busy since but I think the next one will pop up rather quickly. Some interesting moments will be on these. I tried to tag people that I know were at certain shows, music collectors or maybe just need a bit of fun distraction, and can't we all these days! It won't let me tag as many as I want, sorry..no rhyme or reason if you were not. Enjoy, Max (aka MagicAleX) Here is the link ...it's in a zip, don't be afraid to unzip! 1) My Little Red Book - Love @ the Trocader10/19/03 - Arthur lee sounds much better then he did the year before, when he did his first tour since regaining his freedom. I had forgotten how good he sounded. The whole night a ascot sporting, work boot wearing, Alan Rifkin doppelganger was more or less in my face swooning over the music and acting like he was conducting an orchestra or even trying to manipulate the sound with his hands....it was so annoying I never really bothered to listen to this show until a couple of weeks ago...Alan Rifkin no longer comes to mind. 2) Where are the Prawns? - The Soft Boys@ Maxwell's 10/25/02 - This was their second reunion tour. The first reunion tour was good and fun, this one was far better. They sounded like some very large nasty beast which had been awoken and was roaring and in complete attack mode. This was the longest show of their tour and I think half the people there were taping it...Woj, Tim, Ferris, Frank, someone got a soundboard and of course this one. I was lucky to get a bit of a stereo effect. 3) Log 22 - Bettie Seveert @ Maxwell's 3/22/03 - This is from the first go around for the Log 22 album. They toured here a lot for that album, which was fine because it was great. The following release added a young keyboard player whose bleeps and bloops overwhelmed their sound. THEY ARE A GUITAR BAND....The last time I saw them in Philly in 2006 there were 11 people in the crowd, one was my ex-wife and another was passed out on a barstool, beer in hand. The moment the show ended (no encore) the drunk collapsed off the stool spilling the beer all over himself....ditch the keyboards. 4) Souls in Isolation - The Chameleons UK @ JC Dobbs 10/3/02 - I never ever thought I would see this band play live. It was great, though I am still somewhat confused by addition of a Jamaican bongo player. This is a great performance of this song but it is a bit dodgy at the end, the PA went on the fritz, so it's a bit distorted for a minute or more....listen to those guitars! 5) Between Clarke and Hilldale - Love @ the Trocadero 10/19/03 - The world needs more Love! 6) The Party's Crashing Us - Of Montreal @ The First Unitarian church basement 8/26/05 - Firstly, it was about 120 degrees with 100 percent humidity...who would think the pit of hell is in the basement of a church in Philly? I think at the time the following of this band consisted of really, really young kids. I saw some people who looked to be in their mid thirties and was shocked to see they were chaperoning their son. I was thinking, all these songs are about LSD...check your kid's sock drawer! I think when he sings "Matt, Brown Owl over here", it was code for them to boost one of them in the foldbacks. 7) Shoot Shoot - Kaito UK @ The North Star Bar 3/12/04 - Decided to record them on a whim, they were the opener or British Sea power. I'm glad I did, they were fun and I wish they hadn't broken up. 8) Season of the Shark - Yo La Tengo @ the Trocadero 4/18/03 - This is from the keyboard ladden Summer Sun tour, a nice break from Ira's guitar freakouts, though I prefer the guitar freakouts! I think I lost some hearing at this show... 9) Post Pathetic - Consonant @ Doc Watson's 10/13/04 - Somehow, I'm not certain of the year on this show. It was sparsely attended but not as bad as the Bettie Serveert show mentioned above. They were missing Chris Browkaw. It was really cold in there and again with small crowds (oddly) no one seems to want to applaud for an encore, I was really dissapointed that the show just ended cold. 10) Dream in Blue - Los Lobos @ the Kimmel Center 6/19/03 - I somehow lucked out into near center second row seats for this, that may have been too close. The sound in that place is really good but the sound is a little unbalanced due to my being too close.... but then you can't move to another seat in an orchestra hall! I really like the vocals. 11) Hippy Chix - Camper Van Beethoven @ The TLA 10/14/04 - This is not from the show where David Lowery was maced in the middle of the show, it's from the following tour. They were good that night, I liked the new songs live but was totally meh about New Roman Times. I like the variety of sounds they play. 12) Winning Missions - The Hong Kong @ Southpaw 8/23/03 - A band that missed it's window for success due to label mergers on the verge of the release of their full length debut. Everyone compared them to Blondie, probably not totally unfair but still, they were not Blondie. I think the CD came out 2 years after it was supposed to. 13) Call Mr. Lee - Television @ the TLA 3/23/03 - A great night for Richard Lloyd, as always. They did a lot of material from their mid 90's reunion album, which I was unfamiliar with at the time. I wish the vocals were a bit lower in the mix and the guitars up higher. There were some minor sound issues but back then the TLA always had some kind of problems with mics, cords and the PA. 14) Way Down in the Hole -The Blind Boys of Alabama @ The First Union Center 11/18/02 - The one time I have ever had great seats at an arena, they opened for Peter Gabriel. Impressive. 15) 23 Minuted in Brussels - Luna @ the Troadero 9/6/03 - They always did this song, some people got sick of it but I was always so happy to hear Sean Edens guitar solos for it. I have fond memories of this show, having Chinese with Jen Raj, Mike Edmonsen and my ex. Going to the show on the guest list and with recording permission. However, best of all was the famous 'strange hand dance guy' doing his dance right next to Jen and the priceless look on her face...welcome to Philly Jen! I kept the end bit on, I think it's funny and I bet that Sean probably did drink most of the vodka..... _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Contacts: Organize your contact list. http://windowslive.com/connect/post/marcusatmicrosoft.spaces.live.com-Blog-cn s!503D1D86EBB2B53C!2285.entry?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_UGC_Contacts_032009 ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2009 12:47:47 -0800 From: kevin studyvin Subject: Re: Eb-Ism Now And Forever Marlon Brando: The Men vs. Bedtime Story?

Thanks to you and Tom for your advice. Regarding availability over here, I searched a little and found that there is actually one distributor for Pearl Tea in Germany, coincidentally located in Huerth, which is right next to Cologne. Their site is down though, so I'm not sure if they're really still around. And it seems more like a wholesale place anyway. I guess I could ask them if they have retailers in Cologne as customers, but first I'll sample it in the Bay Area. If I'm addicted after that, I might put some more effort in my quest ;-) - -- Sebastian Hagedorn Am alten Stellwerk 22, 50733 Kvln, Germany http://www.uni-koeln.de/~a0620/ "Being just contaminates the void" - Robyn Hitchcock ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V17 #61 *******************************
