Tim Keegan and Jake Kyle are two of the nicest blokes you'll ever meet. Before they were "Departure Lounge", they were "Homer". There were a couple of singles-- "Lucky Thirteen" and "Superkeen". I think Andy and Morris played on "Lucky Thirteen", but I'm not totally sure. I saw Homer in the UK in 1995 at a little village hall (I want to say Evershot, Dorset-- the hall was a repurposed Quonset hut). Robyn came on afterwards and they did several numbers of Moss Elixir, and a bunch of other stuff. Big fun. Jetlag Dreams is an ambient record, if y'all can believe it. It's terrific. "Out Of Here" is a great "everything but the kitchen sink" record-- it's got everything.

Dunno about that, but my favourite for clearing the room at a party was Faust's first album (or the Faust Tapes). On the other hand, the people who didn't flee the room screaming were usually the type you actually wanted there in the first place (it was certainly good enough to get rid of the obligatory Canadian who just wanted you to play some Rush album ;-) Cheers John p.s. I really like Faust (best gig I've ever seen - Faust plays Nosferatu, Halloween 2000), but they really are good at getting rid of people with no musical taste at all. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2010 22:54:33 -0400 From: ross Subject: Re: OK, who's safe On 10-07-29 09:37 PM, Jason Brown wrote: > I complete adore Steely Dan, much to the confusion of many of my > friends and family. > What the hell is wrong with Steely Dan?

And since he'd from *around here* you hear far too much from and about the little twit. But I still love Steely Dan without reservation, don't care who doesn't agree...but really I only raised the issue in the first place because, who wants to go to the trouble to put out something you hope will entertain the fegdom and then find out that the artist in question is an incurable boil on the ass of somebody's idea of Satan?

Fagen's dirty-old-man routine is in fine form on "Janie Runaway", and so many other songs have great narratives as well.

I've only listened to 7 songs so far, but I think I can already say that this is my favorite record club selection so far!

I like their sound -- it reminds me of good times -- but don't really dig it or identify with it, yet. (Though that may come with a couple more listens.) I like the numerous opportunities for mis-hearing lyrics -- e.g. the refrain of track 6 might be "sin o' my heart", "cinema whore", or even "say no mo-ore" -- the last is what I at first thought, the first is what I expect it really is.

Henley's first couple of solo albums really work for me, and the video for "The Boys of Summer" is one of a handful of videos that's not superfluous or diminishing of the song it accompanies. In fact, it compliments and even enhances it. I also enjoy a huge chunk of the Steely Dan catalog and really can't see why they should receive scorn of any sort hereabouts. Plus we share the same opinions of the Wes Anderson ouvre. However, let it be noted that my enjoyment of the Dan is in inverse proportion to the amount of Michael McDonald on any given album. later, Miles - -- over a year of feeling guilty about not blogging enough! http://readingpronunciation.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V18 #146 ********************************
