Nope, you've just dissed my favourite album by far.......strange (well maybe not,) the way people differ in their musical views. No lost opportunities here, just pure genius... oh yeah, and it was the only decent album in the car on my honeymoon ;-) c rock on peter.........:-)

Message-ID: <6d.55af9941.312e3637@aol.com> Beep-Bleeeep......Beep-Bleeeep (sound of radar as I ascend from the depths of Lurkmeria) Gott-DAMN! I've thought for years that if Andy and Robyn wrote/recorded together it would be: a. Brilliantly demented b. Dementedly brilliant c. I would be EXTREMELY happy d. All of the above The outtakes alone would be entertaining! Are they doing interviews together? YipYipYipYipYipYipYipYipYipYip-eeeee! Steve "Giddy in Austin" Oleson

Saturday nights at 8.30pm (GMT). Great show, with Gang of Four, Killing Joke, and plenty more as well as our guys. You can 'listen again' on the BBC website. Part 2 is this coming Saturday - Andy again according to the trailers! www.bbc.co.uk/radio2 -- Jonathan Bean www.beanphoto.co.uk www.hardbackhotel.co.uk
------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 14:47:28 -0000 From: Adrian Ransome <Adrian.Ransome@tsi-ltd.co.uk> Subject: simple songs Message-ID: <497FEA72C392D3118AE700508B7311770D3119FE@nt4server03.tsi-ltd.co.uk> In Chalkhills #12-8 Benjamin Gott mentions the exciting news that Monsieur Le Partridge is working with Robyn Hitchcock (hopefully not on yet another doomed collaborative project), of particular interest is one of the songs Ben namechecks, viz: "Turn Me On Deadman". If - in an idle hour or seven - one takes oneself off to http://deathball.net/notpron - "The Hardest Puzzle On The Internet" and manages to navigate successfully to Level 9 (the title of the page is Revolution and the actual HTML file is named paulisdead.htm - there's some kind of Flab 4 theme here) one might find that by clicking on the number nine at the top left of the image and entering "turnmeon" as the username and "deadman" as the password, one could proceed to Level 10. I'm guessing that recently either Andy or Robyn have had a lot of spare time on their hands in which to surf to obscure internet sites; play deliberately obfuscatory, densely impenetrable puzzle games and then go off and write some songs. Me? I gave up at the point where I was staring cluelessly at a photo of a pan of meat in an oven... or perhaps that was just dinnertime. ade

It came out in 1994, and I recommend it highly. Has anyone else heard of this album (or any other old stuff by the band)? - David, longtime lurker
