I'll ask my neighbor to ask Vudi. Not sure if I'll get anything back, but they are big buds. I haven't quite got it up to aks the guy if he digs Scott's stuff... I know I have a few obscure musical interests in common with him, but his band is, like, how you say, "successful", and mine splits its time between the basement studio and the plumbing shop, so there's that. Gil can probably set us straight anyhow. Jer: >>So, while doing a long overdue email catch-up last night, I noticed >>someone here knocking Rhino's JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH series. (Raises hand sheepishly)... that was me, but I rescinded it and pled ignorance. I still don't think it's for me because I do loathe loathe loathe a great deal of pop new-wave, or at least resent it still being played to death while much of the best '80's music falls further and further into obscurity, but... Stewart: >>My only problem with the JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH series, like EMI's >>so similar there's tons of overlap LIVING IN OBLIVION series, is that I >>haveso many of those songs on the original vinyl or on reissue CDs that >>buying these discs is largely redundant. That's it right there. I have the obscurities and essential artists (the ones that interest me) elsewhere, and there are no shortage of venues in which I might hear "Girls on Film" or "Relax" if for some reason (can't imagine one) I want to. The more recent "postpunk" comp series (I forget the title) that I mentioned, while more to my tastes, had almost *nothing* I don't already own (maybe two tunes per disc) and I'd have sequenced them differently. So basically, if I needed to hear an '80's comp, I'd make my own. Oh, look here, me and my friend did just that last year! Looks like ours even has some band called Game Theory on there. Oooh, and Pylon! While we're sorta talking Pylon... talk about ripe for reissue! Actually, make that "issue"... neither of the two proper albums have ever been on CD. "Hits" has all of "Gyrate" save "Precaution", so I've long since had a digi-vinyl hybrid self-burned disc of that one, but by the time I got ahold of "Chomp" on vinyl my turntable had gone a little funky, so that's still on the "to-do" list. Is this a job for Rhino Handjob? I got that Freur album in a fit of Underworld completism a few years back and like it okay, but the single still stands out... what else caught your ear on there, Glenn? Might be overdue for a revisit. Stewart: >>You clearly did not live in Texas in the early to mid-'80s, when Roky >>Erickson was at the height of his post-Rusk comeback, and was very >>much a revered new wave icon. Guilty. Although I know Texans actually know who he is, as opposed to Most Humans. Every time I've ever dropped his name and someone recognized it, it was someone who had spent a fair amount of time in Texas. One of whom actually corrected my pronunciation of his name. I became conscious of him when the tribute record came out... that was more like 1989. New wave being long dead, his recordings from that period don't reflect that sound to my ears. Much grittier. The lead guitar on most of those Aliens records sounds phenomenal to me, but only relates to "new wave" in the sense of the earliest use of the term... would we say Richard Llloyd or Robert Quine are especially "new wave" guitarists? They just don't use enough chorus or delay... which is to say, the correct amount of both... - -Rex, murking up the clear waters of genre delineation as usual ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2004 15:01:16 -0500 From: "Larry Tucker" Subject: [loud-fans] bit torrent heads up There's a couple of shows up at www.sharingthegroove.org that y'all might be interested in: New Pornographers - Gothic Theater - Englewood, CO 5/4/03 It's an audience recording but not too bad.

Just so you know. Having stayed with me a few times, Rick is the only loud-fan who can appreciate what a bad idea it would be to give Saro a microphone. Rex's post was circulated among Saro's friends and generated much amusement. - Dan ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V4 #26 ******************************
