Back to this thread from a while back, I don't know if anyone has mentioned Jesus Del Campo, a DJ who has done this "classical remix" of Carl Orff's recording, done as a dance mix. You get pounding beat boxes, and synthed choir samples that sound like the choir is being strangled to death (in my opinion). Apocalyptica, indeed. I don't really think much of the recording, but I think that there might be a group of folks somewhere that it might appeal to.

A friend at work (who reads Amplifier, Stewart Mason!) who I burn CDs for, let me borrow his Elvis live disc in exchange for burning the Specials debut for him. I haven't heard this record since 1988 (a friend had it on vinyl) and I now remember why I never got the 2 1/2 Years box. Such a raw, brilliant live record, but there's some jackass on there who "hollers" before, during and after almost every song. I didn't know they had redneck cowboys in Canada (just brilliant novelists, hockey, and people selling me their Magnapop CDs on MusicStack). Such a tragedy. I wish I could get around it and truly enjoy the set, but it's so damned ANNOYING. I envision Elvis losing it and beating the guy over the head with his guitar...or The Attractions getting all Quentin Tarantino and "equalizing" the situation. What a thrill it must have been to see Elvis back then, though...like witnessing a historic event. If only the girl at Sears in the record department picked MY AIM IS TRUE out for me instead of THE STRANGER, when I was wanting a "grown up" record on my tenth birthday. What would life be like for me now? Stuff like that can change your life.

The new Yo La Tengo rarities disc has a YLT original called "Dreaming", and they also covered Blondie's "Dreaming" on the FREEDOM OF CHOICE album. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Apr 2005 19:02:08 -0700 (PDT) From: zoom@muppetlabs.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] live at El Mocambo...YEE HAW!! >Such a raw, > brilliant > live record, but there's some jackass on there who "hollers" before, > during > and after almost every song.

Yes, my friends kept warning me about such people when I'd reiterate my emotional, if not terribly serious, threats to become a Canadian. All through the first Bush II administration. Realistically though, I think anyone who watched the opening of X-MEN (was that Alberta or Saskatchewan?) could doubt the existence of some rough characters amongst our neighbors to the North. > Such a tragedy.

Not the only album with that problem. Which Velvets live set is the one largely ruined, or at least undermined, by the asshole yelling for a Pernod all through at least one side? While I can't say if this is what Mark meant by "hollers," the following pheneomena got recorded near his neck of the woods: http://www.rounder.com/index.php?id=album.php&catalog_id=6198 > What a thrill it must have been to see Elvis back then, though...like > witnessing a historic event.

What if I'd grabbed THE VELVET UNDERGROUND AND NICO for five or six bucks out of the bin at Yesterday and Today, I think it was, when I was thirteen? But that banana was peeled. Do you still have to go to the back bar to get Pernod? Andy Death Denies Him a Last Cigarette/Queen Anne/Tues March 29/10:30 pm: Officer Omelanchuk writes: "I arrived at the wooded area at approximately 10:30 p.m. I saw the victim lying outside of the hutch at the location. I inspected the body of the victim and did not find anything suspicious surrounding his death. I contacted witness one and witness two. They told me the following: They were seated inside the hutch with the victim They saw the suspect rolling a cigarette. Then the suspect dropped the cigarette, grasped for air, and fell over to his left. The witnesses called 911; shortly after police and fire arrived. Medic 10 personnel attempted to resuscitate victim with negative results" What's striking about this report is that the victim appears to have been murdered by death. One minute he is rolling a cigarette; the next minute he is grasping for air. It's as if death had been hiding in the woods near the hutch, waiting for the moment when the victim least expected an attack. After packing a line of tobacco neatly along the middle of a thin piece of white paper, after licking and twisting it, the victim's neck is suddenly seized by an iron hand--a hand that will tighten and will not let go until there is nothing left to hold. A moment before, the victim was in the world (Verfallen), involved in attaining a small pleasure from it; now he is in the moment of truth (Eigentlichkeit), and the world all around him (the woods, the rising Magnolia Bridge, the lights of the homes and apartments on Queen Anne Hill) is melting away, as the invisible/invincible hand squeezes the life out of him. But that's all in our imagination; it's not death that is killing the poor man in the park (it just looks that way), but his own body. His system of organs has been shut down by, most probably, a tiny piece of fat that was floating through a major artery when it happened to completely cover the passage that remained in a clogged artery. Inside, a very tiny event results in what appears, to witness one and two, to be a man violently struggling with the invisible force of death.

This is not to suggest that all Albertans are redneck cowboys, but that is definitely where you will find them in quantity. Anyone ever heard of the Calgary Stampede?

Another thing ... Speaking of the El Mocambo, I don't think the ElMo exists anymore, if you are referring to the famous bar at the corner of Spadina and College Streets in Toronto. Closed down as of at least last year. I think it has become a dance studio, last I've heard.
