If you think thats good, you should read the sequels, Lost in a good Book and The Well of Lost Plots......they really do just get better and better!

Normally I am just a lurker here, but Paul has brought me out of the closet!!! Paul is simply a beautiful man with a wonderful spirit. The pleasure of meeting him was a moment I will always treasure ... not only was he my first Chalkhill connection but he was my first Internet connection! I am looking at a picture (on the shelf above this computer) of Paul & I in a hotel room in Canberra. He is knowledgeable on music and life. It was great to eat sushi and "share a pint" with him. I am honored (honoured) to be mentioned by name on Chalkhills by such a "great bloke (sp?)". I just hope I get to shake his hand one more time! Andy | A. E.

(Shame it's past my birthday.) If only esprit had provided a more detailed picture, but the labels are fun to look at: http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogID=275308&adtype=434

One of mine was the 1980 debut album by Code Blue, the LA power pop band fronted by Dean Chamberlain. Several of you agreed with me that this should be on CD. Well, now it is! Rhino Handmade (which also put Rank & File on CD) has released Code Blue as a Limited Edition (2500 copies). Remixed and expanded! I bought it through the fine folks at NotLame.com. Now if I could just get "Difford and Tilbrook" on CD, life would be good.

Just to revocalize Jim Smart's placement of Amanda's 'horrible' American music into context, the Superbowl halftime entertainment was 'Superbad'. Janet J has nothing to do with this analysis though. The greater whole of the program involved re-treads of music long gone by that sold their million copies and since should have been retired. What has happened to the term 'fresh'? I'm sure that much of this has to do with corporate America merging and conglomerating to watch over what we buy and listen to. How blind can we be? This is not entertainment any longer. Something soon has got to break. The advent of the artists with only 'single' hits is coming around again thanks to mp3. In the near (or present) future, we are going to turn into a world that picks up a digital '45 rpm' from the web instead of the record store. Maybe the record companies will realize soon that they can bring back the independent artists with minimal bandwidth and expense and expose us to the type of diversity that made music great a few decades ago. On the other hand, I could have just had too much to drink. (Wow, what a rant...) David Now Playing => nothing but XTC and admiration of good songwriting

Does anybody have any corroboration of this claim? Can anybody prove that "The Engine Room" are not XTC? Let us know. -- John

Yes, yes. I've been delinquent in buying it, and it's an incredible album. If you have been delinquent too, you should get it NOW. I can't believe I waited so long! I'm very glad that Apple has a contract with SpinArt now. That means that there will be some good music coming down the pike... -Ben

Nice disc. But the point to make here is that I read in an interview with Tatsuhiko mention made of another Japanese band called Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her. Thought that was pretty cool. cheers.kah http://www.hidebound.com home of The Monster and radio hidebound currently spinning: Patti Smith - So You Want To Be (A Rock'N'Roll Star)

Message-ID: <004701c3f80e$4c7013f0$fc0e8051@oemcomputer> 2 little snippits before I go back to lurking: 1) Received Orpheus today. Lovely packaging, have played it once, unable to digest too much immediately but really like the one that sounds like Omnibus. 2) Despite on playing the CD once, have heard Beetle from aforementioned Orpheus twice today owing to this strange twist of events: (stick with me) Do a bit of selling on eBay and had to go see my CD supplier to give him some money this evening. He shows me this little self tuning radio he is selling on eBay so I say i'll have one of them for my train journey. Put batteries in, follow instructions and struggle to tune into any station that is English (I'm in England), finally hear English voice on specialist music show. Wait a second to check if reception is any good and hear the words, "this next song comes from a shed in Swindon". Well I don't know about you, but I can only really think of one Swindon based music making shed! Beetle is played, before presenter and guest music specialist praise Partridge and his guitar work on the track and in XTC, mention it is on APE and that Partridge owns APE and that the album is out, but not massivley accessible (which is probably true and not necessarily a criticism). Hearing any of Andy's work on the radio in the UK is shocking enough, but to hear a track from Orpheus on the same day I received it through the post is downright strange. Guess I must have been standing on a lay line or something. And before you ask, I have no idea what the radio station was! Speak to you again in another year or so!!!!! Pledge
