Hang on, that's on 'Downtown', isn't it? I realised when I read the
post that I knew the song, but I've never been able to track down a
copy of 'Mary Jean...', so I thought it had to come from another
album.
'Downtown', of course, also includes maybe my favourite Crenshaw
song, even though he's reputedly not so fond of it, 'Blues is King',
featuring the one, the only Mitch Easter. I love that track - it's one
of my all-time favourite post-romantic-breakup-depression tunes,
along with Aimee Mann's '4th of July' and Band of Susans' 'Now is
Now' ('heart aches like a phantom limb...') and 'Hard Light'. (Guess
why I've been so quiet on-list lately: hey, somebody's got to provide
some unsolicited autobiography now that Mark's unsubbed!)
peace & love

Yes Phil, you are right! I realized it after I sent it!! I too like

Subject: [loud-fans] lots o' fun at Finnegans Wake (125 release party)
Looking through the last few days of loud-fans mail, all I have to
say is "Ye gods, what a batch of noise pollution!!"
If I wanted to hear the same five people riffing on the same topics over
and over, I'd pull out my copy of TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS. So
instead of ordering a takeout curry and waiting for this parade of
keyboard (and bass, and guitar) wankery to stop, I'm going to knock Jon
Anderson upside the head right in the middle of "The Revealing Science
of (insert secular humanist equivalent for 'God')", and take over the
loud-fans microphone for awhile. Does anyone want to hear about the 125
Records release party??
Since this list is still called "loud-fans" and many of our assembled
masses was there on Saturday, I'm imagining that someone must. I think
I knew half the people of the 100-or-so people in the nearly full house,
so I'm not going to give a roll call for fear of leaving someone out,
but needless to say, it was great to see everyone again, or for the
first time. Here's the setlist for headliners "Scott Miller and
friends".
SCOTT & KENNY "solo" duet:
Come Saturday Morning
Where They Walk Over St. Therese
Just Gone
Total Mass Destruction
Regenisraen
Paranoid (Sabbath cover)
WITH BAND (Bradley Skaught drums, Yuji Oniki guitar)
Don't Respond, She Can Tell
Inverness
Metal And Glass Exact
Motion of Ariel
Curse of the Frontier Land
Nice When I Want Something
ENCORES:
Finnegan's Wake (Scott solo)
(an aborted "Don't Fear The Reaper")
Couldn't I Just Tell You?
For the first part of the show, Scott and Kenny were joined at
various times by Anton Barbeau and their respective "old ladies"
Kristine and Karen for extra vocals. The whacked-out cover of
"Paranoid" could've been selected in deference to one of the co-owners
of the 125 label. For the "band" part of the show, there were two
guitars, bass, drums, and no keyboards, which gave the songs an entirely
different flow than the recorded versions. I thought Bradley did a
great job on drums
and Yuji did a great job on second guitar and vocals, especially
because Loud Family songs aren't that easy to play or sing. It was
an interesting song selection too -- I'd never heard "Metal And
Glass Exact" live before.
After the set proper ended with "Nice When I Want Something" (with
Bradley's ace version of Gil's fill), Scott came out for an encore and
played Finnegan's Wake", a 19th century Irish street ballad from which
the James Joyce book was named. He dedicated the song to Bob Lloyd, who
wasn't there, and it sounded vaguely familiar, so I think I've got a
version of that tune on a mixtape from the aforementioned Mr. Lloyd.
Then the band came out and honored someone's request for "Godzilla" by
playing half a verse of "Don't Fear The Reaper" before wrapping things
up with Todd Rundgren's "Couldn't I Just Tell You?", a song that most of
the band knew, and the rest could convincingly fake.
The pre-Scott part of the evening, highlighting the two 125 releases
Belle da Gama's GARDEN ABSTRACT and Anton Barbeau's ANTOLOGY 2 was also
worthwhile, with Scott coming onstage to sing "Three Cornered Wold" with
Bradley and BDG and "Third Eye" with Anton. Bradley risked the wrath of
Smiths haters everywhere by starting his set with "Stop Me If You've
Heard This One Before". The last Belle da Gama band show was nearly
two years ago, and was a different lineup besides Bradley and Ian, so
given that and the somewhat variable sound, it was a pretty good set.
Of course Anton and his band were brilliant, like they always are, and
judging from the feedback afterwards, won over a large portion of the
crowd who weren't previously familiar with them. I've been trying
fruitlessly to trumpet this guy's genius for nearly six years, so it
thrills me to no end to see him getting some of the notoriety he
deserves.
Everyone who hasn't done so already should pick up both cds from
125records.com, and that's all I have to say about that.
"Put down that papadam, Wakeman! It's time for the keyboard solo!"
Disjointed but with purpose,

OK, that tops me hearing a MUZAKed version of Freedy Johnston's "Bad

Hey, is that the tiny place next to the fire station. I useta live behind
the Burger King across Brighton Ave from that place and ate there all the

If so, "little" is understating it. I'd say something about swinging a dead

Yes, you kindly provided me with a cassette of TANTAMOUNT (wish I'd snapped
that up in the late 70s when it was a bargain bin staple, along with
BUCKINGHAM/NICKS and the entire Badfinger catalog, cuz it's impossible to
find now...). It is wonderfully bizarre.
I like LOOSE SALUTE a lot, I'm very fond of the country-jump, err, *remake*
of Listen to the Band and it has one of the best covers of I Fall to Pieces.
But I could never favor it over the other two entries in the trilogy,
MAGNETIC SOUTH and NEVADA FIGHTER. I mean, anyone who has the nuts to write
trad-country songs with titles like Propinquity and The Grand Ennui is after
my own heart. And The First National Band really clicked.
And oh! it warms my cockles to hear someone else loves INFINITE RIDER ON THE
BIG DOGMA. The amazing thing about that record, I think, is that after
inventing the early Eagles paradigm on his first few albums, on DOGMA he
defined their slick, So-Cal THE LONG RUN sound.
This may not sound like an inspiring recommendation, but the writing and
playing on DOGMA are really first-rate. Wish I could find that one on CD...
Speaking of which, has anyone here heard his live double-CD from his brief
1992 tour? I'm temped to fork over $25 bucks for it at J&R. I saw one of
those shows, but the spectacular pedal steel player Red Rhodes wasn't at my
show and I note that he's on the live discs. I can only imagine that it's
amazing.

Twofers of "Magnetic South"/"Loose Salute" and "Nevada Fighter"/"Tantamount
to Treason" were recently released overseas on BMG/Camdem, with the latter
having some useful bonus tracks. The same was done with "Pretty Much Your
Standard Ranch Stash" and another '70s album, although I didn't bother
getting that one.

Subject: [loud-fans] mooning the spoons (tape swap a go go)
Trying desparately to catch up on my reviews, and then tomorrow I'm off
to the post office to send off two swap CDs to a couple of very patient
loud-fans.
This CD came from George. I'd asked him to include mostly new releases,
as all my money these days goes for paint, paint remover, drills, doors
and the like. To make things more interesting, George emailed me the
track listing, and I lost his email and didn't find it for a week or so,
so I listened to this CD many times without knowing who I was hearing. I
highly recommend this, as it prevents one from forming preconceptions.
Anyway, it contained:
1. Titus & Strident Wet Nurse -- Guided by Voices
Another GBV winner, and maybe I need to reevaluate my "I own enough of
their stuff" stance. Contains a nice, repeating sound effect which
really juices it up. And it ends early, making you want to hit the
re-play button. Advice for Robert: keep 'em short.
2. Everybody's Golden Age -- The Maggies
Sounds a whole lot like Game Theory, moreso than any band I've ever
heard. I'm a foe of nepotism, but this is seriously great, and I'd
appreciate it muchly if a Maggie could bring themselves to write me
off-list w/ordering info.
3. Sleep -- Mark Eitzel
Shari just walked into the basement and said "This is great!!" I'm not
a big AMC fan, but this agrees with me more.
4. Barely Legal -- The Strokes
I'm on an anti-Strokes campaign. Maybe their album will be better. As
it is, I don't know what's in the Bovril over in England, but it's
messin' up their minds if they think this band is the next big thing...
5. Ugly But Honest -- Carissa's Wierd
Hushed male vocals, guitars, relaxed drums: nice but undistinguished.
6. Ooh Child -- Wondermints
Granted I haven't heard the original in a long time, but I thought this
*was* the original until I found the track listing. Please don't mock
me. Anyway, this is just a great version of a transcendant song.
Highlight of the CD-R.
7. Begin Being Finished With Me -- Stew
I'm glad that, even without knowing who it was, I intensely disliked
this. Shows that my dislikes are consistant.
8. Anything You Want -- Spoon
Highlight #2 of the CD-R. Do I hear an Elvis Costello influence
creeping in or is it some other '80s person who's name is slipping my
mind at the moment. Assuming that this is on the new CD, I must buy it.
9. Jaipur -- The Mountain Goats
Another band where I'd decided that I didn't need to own any more of
their stuff, and apparently I was wrong. I love how the pick sound takes
the place of drums, and the distortion on the acoustic guitar takes the
place of bass and electric guitar, and the distortion on the voice takes
the place of double tracking, etc... Best line: "I'm the hard to find
stations on the AM band."
10. Backfire -- Aimee Mann
Nice, but it's hard to ignore
the fact that a little enjambment makes me snore
through the night, when it comes on every line
of the song. Over and over, every time
she thinks of a new rhyme
-ing word.
(if that doesn't format correctly, I'm lost!!)
11. The Way I Made You Feel - Jimmy Little
12. Synchronised Sinking -- The Lucksmiths
The Cannanes for the 00's? Happier though, and they know how to play
their instruments.
13. Human - The 6ths (w/Lloyd Cole)
A nice, slow version of the song. I didn't recognize this as the 6ths,
which is probably a compliment. Stephin needed to sound less like
himself.
14. Snow -- Continental Drifters
15. Texas Snow -- Oranger
Not unlike the Apples in Stereo.
16. (Love is) The Best Revenge -- Sunburst
17. Different Plane -- The Waxwings
18. Golden Street -- The Minders
I think that they're my favorite E6 band. Didn't like their last EP,
but this sounds like they're back on track.
19. End Credits -- Laptop
Ex-Sammy guy. Loved Sammy. Love Laptop. Their version of "Whole Wide
World" appears on many a mix tape that I've made.
20. Near to a Beautiful Park -- Robert Scott
I keep expecting this to turn into Pink Floyd's "Us and Them." Doesn't
sound like the Robert Scott who (I think) I know.
21. Mystery bonus track.
Thanks George!!

From: Dana L Paoli
Subject: [loud-fans] if at first... (tape swap)
Quite some time ago, Phil F. sent me a double CDR swap thing. The reason
for the double CD, he explained, is that he had accidently put an
unintended song on the first CDR, so he made a second (completely
different) mix, and then sent them both. What's extremely lucky/strange
about this is that I actually liked disc number two more than the first
one. So thank goodness for that mistake. The contents of disc number
one, should anyone care to point out that I've overlooked a gem, were:
Pie -- Our History
Jeremy Toback -- Will I Find You
Talking To Animals -- Breathe
Owsley -- Oh No The Radio
Ross Phasor -- Radio Friendly Sellout
Guided By Voices -- Bulldog Skin (which I already knew and like)
Baby Animals -- Painless
Rusty -- Groovy Dead
The Gravy -- Sissy Blood
Tears For Fears -- Humbdrum and Humble
Baby Ray -- Sheep Are My Keeper
Spinning Jenny -- Life Story
John Moore -- Remember Me
Whale -- I Miss Me
The Control Group -- Building You From Scratch
Bob Mould -- Doubleface
Frank Zappa -- Willie The Pimp
Disc number 2, upon which I'll make a few brief comments, was much more
popular in my household:
1. Guided By Voices -- None of Them Any Good
I wouldn't attempt to say anything new about GBV. We all know what to
expect. I found this to be one of their better ones. Nice tremelo on
the vocals, and it's got that mid-fi sound that was my favorite. My
favorite GBV song is "Hot Freaks" so maybe I'm a fan of their 4/4, one
note bass line, mid-tempo stuff. I also dig the feedback on the guitars.
2. The Gentlemen -- Off With Its Head
A really great post-new wave song stolen directly from Joe Jackson's
head. Opens with a cute female voice saying "left, right" followed by a
nice left-guitar, right-guitar intro. Also rhymes "torso" with "moreso"
which makes me happy: I did the same years ago in a song that I wrote
about Gregory Corso, and considered it clever at the time. The singer
sounds a little more "rock" than Joe Jackson, but otherwise this could
easily be followed by "Is She Really Going Out With Him." Very nice!!
3. Seventeen -- Return To Disco Mountain
Also terrific. This sounds like a game of exquisite corpse played by
the Bee Gees, Chic and Urge Overkill. A very odd song, and all the
better because the band is convincing in each genre (as in, they've got
the chops).
4. Brad -- Seance
A nice little post-Beck tune with one small problem. The chorus is an
almost carbon copy of a Chicago tune: the one that goes "woh-oh-oh-oh,
yes I can, and I've been waiting such a long time..." And, they don't
seem to be aware of this, unless there's some reference that I'm missing.
So, while it sounds really great, it mostly reminds me of how much more
I like the Chicago song.
5. Queens Of The Stone Age -- Auto Pilot
For some reason I thought they were heavier. Sounds not unlike
something from the new Gorillaz album: a hip hop beat grafted onto a
rock song. Catchy, though a trifle generic sounding.
6. Jack Drag -- We Could Have Been Big
Reminds me a lot of a song that I very much doubt they ever heard, but
just in case there's a Nemo fan on the list, it keeps sounding like it's
going to break into that "Lay your hands on my blue, blue soul" song from
their self titled debut. Combines acoustic guitars with hip-hop drums
and a few kooky effects, and doesn't sound entirely unlike something that
the Flaming Lips might have come up with once upon a time.
7. The Pursuit of Happiness -- I Like You
Power Pop, nerdy vocals. She'd probably like you better if you learned
to sing better. I'd like to have heard the Pooh Sticks do this. It
sounds like a Seattle band trying to do a '70s AM radio hit, which is
slightly jarring.
8. Green Apple Quick Step -- Halloween
More of that acoustic guitar, post-Beck stuff, but the expected hip-hop
drum beat never arrives, which was sort of a pleasant surprise. Boy, you
could almost do a mix tape of songs called "Halloween" at this point.
9. Sinead O'Connor -- Daddy I'm Fine
Hard for me to believe that the same person did "Jump in the River"
which I liked a whole, whole lot. This sounds like she's copying Alanis
Morrisette, which seems like an odd career choice. But, it's well done.
She says she wants to fuck every man in sight. I guess we should have
paid attention to the lyrics, in view of recent developments.
10. Birdbrain -- Hometown
Who does this sound like? Pearl Jam? Stone Temple Pilots? One of
those Seattle groups. Very post-Cobain.
11. Modest Mouse -- Dark Side Of The Universe
Starts with atmospheric descending guitar lines. Suddenly they're
almost rapping, and they seem to have acquired a southern white trash
accent. Not what I expected from a band that I've heard a lot about but
never heard.
12. Ani Difranco -- Hurricane
My thoughts on Ms. Difranco are already on record (go to the archives
and search for "talentless egotistical loser who couldn't write a tune if
you held a gun to her head, and yes we're thrilled that you can play such
a great quantity of guitar at the same time that you sing your
quasi-political lyrics that have the sophistication of something that I
scraped off of my shoe while walking out of my freshman year
intro-to-women's-studies course") so I'll only say that this is the story
of a poor black man who was put in a prison cell for a long time for a
thing he never done. The injustices in this world!! It makes me want to
buy a bumper sticker for my car, just to let everyone know just how
deeply my feelings run. I do note that one theme of this CDR seems to be
"people who were once thought to be lesbians", but I'm not sure if
Robert Pollard fits the description.
13. (interlude) a brief interlude.
14. Euphonic -- This One To Believe
Wow, the loudest opening in the history of rock and roll!! Has some
slightly Metallica sounding harmonies, but the music is too pop to
qualify as metal, even in a loose sense. Actually, that's not a bad
idea, as I never really liked that metal-distortion guitar sound.
Reading over my comments, I'm not sure if they convey the fact that I've
liked (and listened to) this disc quite a bit. I'll keep working on the
first disc, and if it starts to click I may attempt a second review.
Nonetheless, thank you Phil for introducing me to a large number of new
(to me) bands.

No fuckin' way. This can't be the late 80s/early 90s Boston band with

FYI, I just got a promo of Laptop's latest, THE OLD ME VS. THE NEW YOU, due
out August 28. On one listen, I like it a lot more than Laptop's OPENING
CREDITS, which sounded like a tired collection of circa-1984 cliches to me.
Amusingly, the song "Back Together" is a direct sequel to his earlier
single "End Credits."
