(did i mention that i gave this guy a copy of the do the pop 2cd comp of early australian punk & the who's maximum r'n'b box set out of friendship? & that he, unlike me, owns a burner & could've copied everything i loaned him if he could've been bothered?) at least everything (that i can recall ... i haven't dared go check whether i've still got singles going steady, though at least i have it on vinyl, too) but behind the curtain appears to be readily available -- i see that even the mekons' rocknroll has been reissued, & with the 2 tracks (which i've got as 12" b-sides) omitted from the original u.s. release at that. of course, being both cheap (scottish-jewish heritage perhaps coming into play, as i've noted before) *&* relatively impoverished, the notion of paying for things twice doesn't exactly set my heart soaring. my blood pressure, maybe ... actually, some years ago i somehow mislaid the back cover of behind the curtain ... i guess it's joined the booklets for pulp's his'n'hers in oblivion & the replacements' hootenanny, though at least in those 2 cases it never occurred to me to loan out the rest of the album. dan >In a message dated 11/21/03 4:25:05 PM Central Standard Time, >dpbailey@worldnet.att.net writes: > >> actually, looking further, i think behind the curtain *is* among the >> missing. >> >> that's it. i'm killing myself. now. >> >> sayonora ... >> >> dan >> > >now Dan...don't do anything stupid....i know it's not the same thing, but i'd >gladly burn you a copy if you just want the music... > >RL ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2003 19:41:05 EST From: RLynn9@aol.com Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Uncut(s) In a message dated 11/21/03 6:22:37 PM Central Standard Time, CHRISWIRE@aol.com writes: > I have got Tales From Topographic oceans &have not played it in 15 years i > think.Maybe twenty....

Loved the band when they were around. Never got into Neil Young but got into G500. Must be the hair length. Oddly never got into Luna - though people keep telling me I ought to. But then these are the same people who tell me that the Damon and Naomi material was good. Which imo it isn't. I was lucky enough to see G500 several times. I saw one of what must have been their first gigs here at Wolves Poly with Straitjacket Fits on a Rough Trade tour. Most of the audience stayed at the bar. I then saw them with the Sundays in Leicester with Kramer on guitar (for Ceremony I think) and on another tour at Birmingham where they played so slowly it made Swans look like the Minutemen. (OK - I exaggerate.) Best album is On Fire. The first is as good but a little rougher. The third is like the second but a little predictable. A bit like what happened with the later Pixies albums. Swotter's note: on the third album the song about going blind but then discovering having a third eye is - according to an interview at least - based on an episode of Star Trek where this happens to Spock. I can't listen to the track with a straight face since. Mishearing lyrics note: a friend of a friend once thought that the refrain at the end of 'Isn't it a Pity?' on the second album - which is 'What a pity' - was 'What a pinhead'. Try listening to it with a straight face also.
