This seems squarely aimed at 50 Quid Bloke and is probably useful if you have the money and no access to a record shop, although whether people are going to be prepared to pay, say, 42 quid a month (for three albums) for stuff they haven't heard (or even heard of) is moot. Still, an interesting idea.

Kimono My House occupied the first half of the set (in order). The Maels, astonishingly, barely look any older than they did 30 years ago from where I'm sitting - Russell is still very trim and has a full head of hair and Ron is dressed smartly with hair slicked back. The performance of KMH is spot on - I assume they havent played many of these songs in the interim years but it doesn't show. Ron stays behind his keyboard virtually motionless while Russell moves across the stage with ilan. They have three musicians with them, mostly sessioneers from the way they describe them. At the end ('Equator, equator') the crowd go wild. The rediscovery of KMH is a musical high-spot of the year for me so far and this has been great. I havent heard anything from Lil Beethoven, which takes up the second part of the set. It's a fascinating comparison with KMH. Where KMH is full of great one-liner lyrics amalgamating into little tales, LB's lyrics are very simple (often the same phrase repeated) but very conceptual. Looking at the track list today on amazon I can recall how every song sounded. How often does this happen with 10 songs you've never heard before? Each song has its own visuals projected and much of the music is sampled - in fact sometimes there are only two kettledrums being played live as Ron - gasp! - now moves around. For Ugly Guys with Beautiful Girls he struts about the stage with a glamorous women looking for all the world like Robert Crumb. For What are All these Bands so Angry About? (a great title) he sits down watching Russ and holds up a cigarette lighter. In Ride 'em Cowboy he hits his arse in cowboy fashion. It's amusing stuff and the songs - even without the verbal dexterity of KMH - are strong, built around clear repetitive musical and lyrical ideas. The best lyrically is probably I Married Myself - 'I'm very happy together...this time its going to last forever'. Another standing ovation at the end, Ron looking like the most embarrassed man on the planet. It's clear from this evening that I've mistakenly denied myself Sparks for much of the past 30 years. This will change.

I bought a cheap Sparks compilation the other day cos, amongst the obvious hits, it had some 80's stuff I didn't have. But the track I've been playing to death isn't one of my usal faves (This Town..., Amatuer Hour, Never Turn your Back) but Something For the Girl With Everything. Just sounds so great! As for Lil Beethoven, well it's one of my fave LP's of recent years. Wish I was going myself. It's almost 30yrs since I last saw them ; ) Kwith np Broadcast - haha sound ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Jun 2004 18:24:35 +0100 From: "j.hobson" Subject: Re: [idealcopy] The Album Club Seems like the old Book Clubs or even the dreaded Brittania Music Club.

Why would anyone bother with this, it's from another era.< agreed,however the mu(sic) industry does feed a LOT on nostalgia.......... and now that many ex-punks are in their late 40's to (like me) early 60's,this may well be a 'good' idea,never been one for a) compilayions (by anybody) or b) letting 'other people' decide for me what I watch/listen to or anything else,but then again,not everyone in the world is like me (and I'll take the response to that off list).............Ari Friends.
