A versitile and endlessly inventive guitarist Quine can be heard on: Tom Waits' Rain Dogs (specifically Downtown Train) Richard Hell & The Voidoids' Blank Generation, etc Lydia Lunch's Queen Of Siam Lou Reed's The Blue Mask Matthew Sweet's Earth, Girlfriend, 100% Fun, Altered Beast, etc. Scritti Politti's Cupid & Psyche 85 Lloyd Cole's Lloyd Cole, Love Story & Don't Get Weird On Me Babe, etc. They Might Be Giants' John Henry and countless others from John Zorn to Material to The Odds to Eno to Wiseblood. Quine also toured with The Velvet Underground recording shows that would eventually materialize as the boxed set "Bootleg Series Volume 1: The Quine Tapes". As I understand it, Quine had been despondent from the passing of his wife Alice last August. I count Quine as one of the 2 or 3 guitarists who most inspired my playing, such as it is. Lester Bangs, in his Clash piece in Psyhcotic Reactions & Carburetor Dung said: "Someday Quine will be recognized for the pivotal figure that he is on his instrument - he is the first guitarist to take the breakthroughs of early Lou Reed and James Williamson and work through them to a new, individual vocabulary, driven into odd places by obsessive attention to 'On The Corner' era Miles Davis". - - Dan Vallor ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2004 16:06:34 -0400 (EDT) From: Aaron Mandel Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Robert Quine On Mon, 7 Jun 2004, Vallor wrote: > A versitile and endlessly inventive guitarist Quine can be heard on: > They Might Be Giants' John Henry As it is the only one of the records you mentioned that I own, and I've never heard about Quine before today, I'm curious which tracks/parts Quine played on John Henry. a ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2004 16:15:09 EDT From: JRT456@aol.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Robert Quine In a message dated 6/7/04 3:52:45 PM, vallor@comcast.net writes: > I'm sad to report that one of my all time guitar heroes Robert Quine has > taken his own life. > More accurately, about a year of taking his own life leading to an OD. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2004 16:30:05 -0400 From: Stewart Mason Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Robert Quine At 04:06 PM 6/7/2004 -0400, Aaron Mandel wrote: >On Mon, 7 Jun 2004, Vallor wrote: > >> A versitile and endlessly inventive guitarist Quine can be heard on: > >> They Might Be Giants' John Henry > >As it is the only one of the records you mentioned that I own, and I've >never heard about Quine before today, I'm curious which tracks/parts Quine >played on John Henry.

Newman"). I was just about to order it. However, I've noticed that it has suddenly showed up on eMusic. And of course, I've already used up my monthly downloads (on things like the new Mission of Burma), which doesn't replenish until the 19th. I'll probably just buy the CD no matter what, sight-unheard, rather than wait for the 19th or purchase an eMusic "booster pack". But I'm curious if anyone here has heard it yet, and what you think of it if so? The snippets I've heard sound interesting.

Quite sad. Of these, my favorite Quine playing is found on the Richard Hell album (which is utterly indispensable anyway) and on _The Blue Mask_ (which I think is generally underrated). - ------------------------------- ...Jeff J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com/ :: Solipsism is its own reward :: :: --Crow T.

I heard one track, and it sounded like a slightly subtler take on TNP stuff. That is, I recommend it highly. I probably shouldn't buy more records this week, but I'm tempted... Oh, and if anyone's thinking of buying the Eno remasters: wait a bit on _Another Green World_. If you've bought it already, here's the scoop: On Mon, 7 Jun 2004 19:11:30 -0400 , "Warren, Ashley" said: > Hello, > > Yes, unfortunately the initial pressing has this error in it.
