I apologize to all the >> Fall fans out there; feel free to call me a philistine if you >> like. >Okay - you're a philistine. >(Remember - you asked for it! (^_^)) Hey, I like being a philistine! I always felt like we got a bum rap for that whole "exodus" thing. I mean, things was tough back in 1200 B.C -- and not just for the Israelites! Trust me, Canaan was no theme park... >> (I did see them live once.) >How were they? I regret never having seen them live. They were terrible, that night. Mark E. Smith got incredibly pissed off over the lousy monitors -- almost immediately -- and I'd never seen anyone get so pissed off over monitors before. (I learned later on that this wasn't an uncommon thing for him.) Anyway, this was the late 80's, Brix was in the band, and they were cresting a bit commercially due to the success in the US of their cover of "Victoria," so there was a fairly big crowd (this was in Washington, DC). They got better as they went along, but they didn't completely recover from the rocky start. I'm not sure they even did an encore -- in fact, I'm fairly sure they didn't. At one time I owned "Live at the Witch Trials" and "The Frenz Experiment," and I liked the former well enough but never quite liked the latter. I forget what I did with 'em, now. Must've sold them back in the days before I struck it rich in the Massive Internet E-Mail Hoax business... Btw, I have a portable Minidisc recorder that I never use. I really like it when I *do* use it, but there's one important thing I really, really like about old-fashioned analog cassettes - when you turn the player off and then come back later and turn it back on, you're in the same spot in the recording where you left off. Does anybody know of a MD player that emulates that behavior? I'd probably buy it! John "aka Phil S.
