Please excuse the spelling and errors in my last message. Before everyone acuses me of "eating tables" I would like to say that I only would eat tables made of metal, because wood tables are bad for the enironment. When I "wronte" the last message, I was not paying attention to grammer or spelling at all and my mistakes are many, please excuse them. Have a happy new year everyone. Wait, actually have a Happy new Century (that dont sound right)! Hopefully the 00's will be better than the 90's (as far as music is concerned!) I do not want to argue and ask you to have the same respect for both me and John and the readers of this list to do the same. No more fake posts, or harrassing emails, or really nice posts about me please. Maybe, to make things better, I will change my name to Damien Thorne. That is a much nicer name than Satanas Diablo anyway! My XTC question of the day is: Is there another version for the song "New Broom"? I love that song...

Chalkfolks, In #5-316 David Seddon opined: > Swindon is only marginally more interesting than Milton Keynes < Now that is really unfair - on Swindon that is - ain't nothing comes close to being as uninteresting as Milton Keynes and John Boudreau suggested: > Thanksgiving is a public celebration in acknowledgment of divine favor < Now that's a bit like saying that Christmas is simply a celebration of the birth of Jesus. Sure, it might have been that way once upon a time (setting aside any prior claims that the pagans may have had on that particular festival), but commercial interests ensure that those aspects are only of marginal importance nowadays > Other than for use as food , a turkey has absolutely no reason for existence on this planet < Blimey, isn't that taking the 'God will provide' edict a little too far?? BTW it never ceases to amaze me the breadth of musical tastes on this list, and there hidden in throw-away lyrical quotes in this digest were references to 10 cc (from the main man, no less) and Genesis. What a catholic (with a very small c) bunch we are Oh, and Satanas old bean, you are welcome to your vegetarianism, but please don't try to tell me that tofu 'tastes just like Turkey', nor that 'Spices are what makes the meat taste good'. A goodly proportion of the meat that I eat has no spices on it whatsoever, and tastes just fine to my palate, thank you very much. Cheers, Steve (who works in Milton Keynes, lives too close to Hemel Hempstead for comfort, and once went to Swindon for the weekend and had a fine time even though the trip had nothing at all to do with our lads)

Subject: Favourite 1999 Albums
Hi all !
In #5-314 Travis wanted the favourite 1999 albums, so here they are:
1. Sam Prekop Sam Prekop Thrill Jockey
2. Jim O'Rourke Eureka Drag City
3. Rachel's Selenography Quarterstick
4. Ken Ishii Sleeping Madness R&S
5. Various Artists Everything Is Nice Matador
(The Matador Records
10th Anniversary
Anthology)
6. Nobukazu Takemura Scope Thrill Jockey
7. Wheat Hope and Adams Sugar Free
8. High Llamas Snowbug V2
9. Various Artists OST - Tony Hawk Pro Sony PSX
Skater
So, there's only nine, and reading this list you'll wonder: Where's
Stereolab and Mouse on Mars ?
Well, not on this as I haven't listened to both of them often enough to
call them favourites, whereas I know every note and every pause from Sam
Prekop to Tony Hawk. (except for Nobukazu Takemura, but that is an album
impossible to know a-z. Listen to it if you don't believe me, and no,
your CD player is okay, it's supposed to sound like that...)
Now, I'll go back doing a 720 Switch Indy Nosebone + 5-0 Grind + 180
Impossible.

Prince Nelson Rogers or Principal, Victoria? -ha ha She woke to find her Bobby was alive and in the shower what a joke 'cuz he really was the man from Atlantisssssss... Thanksgiving....... Thanksgiving We don't celebrate it here Thanksgiving But you just wait about a year and you'll find That Clinton Cards is full of turkey/pilgrim tat.

It's up to you to figure this out, and if you guess wrong I'll swear at you and call you names. I may do this even if you guess right. Oh, the swearing and name calling may be a joke too, but you won't find that out until you're already pissed at me. The basic gist is "fuck 'em if they can't take a joke." No, that's not it at all, but you carry on believing whatever you like. I'm sure most people can spot a personal grievance being aired. Funny really, because it was you that wrote privately to me with an abusive message saying that NO ONE was remotely interested in my posts about Metal and that, effectively, I should just **** off. At least my rudeness is there for all to see, and to take or leave as people see fit. Today's "basic gist" is as follows...."stop blaming me for your lack of humour and accept that numerous people enjoy my posts and can easily identify when I'm being sarcastic and/or serious". Besides, it's not compulsory to read every word on Chalkhills, or is it? >>You may think this is the oh-so-out-of-fashion "politically correct" way to behave, but most people just call it common decency. Jesus, how arrogant can you get - and yes, I should know. I couldn't give a toss about whether you're being politically correct or not, and common decency doesn't come into it. How irredeemably pompous to (inaccurately and selectively) analyse my written style and then adjudge it to be somehow contrary to "decency" or norms of civilized behaviour. You must be getting really dizzy on that high horse of yours. Furthermore, and for the millionth time this week, who appointed you mouthpiece of the list? It's one thing to voice your personal objections to my posts, but it's the height of conceit to speak for everyone else. >>Am I to understand that I must agree that what is a "perfectly normal term of abuse" to you, must also be acceptable to me? No. Why on earth would I say that? The very fact that it's not acceptable to a lot of people would seem to have been the whole point of my using such words in the first place. Personally, I object to your heavy-handed headmaster-style lecturing, but I'm not going to demand that you tailor your posts to suit me. >>Why is it that your standards win, and not mine? I wasn't aware that they did. What a peculiar world you live in. >>How can you tell someone else to be aware of cultural differences when you don't appear to acknowledge them yourself? I'm aware of them, thanks very much, but with swearing in particular I simply don't agree with the fundamental principle behind your objections. Swearwords are taboo for arbitrary reasons which have nothing to do with decency, taste or anything else. The more we shudder in fear at these tiny words, the more shocking they become. How pointless is that? Besides which, I don't tell YOU how to write, or what words to use, so what gives you the right to select MY vocabulary? You're either extraordinarily sensitive or hugely conceited. I'd like to assume it's the former, but I'm beginning to have my doubts. Anyway.....XTC content, now there's a thought! Oh no, hang on a minute... >> I would fully agree that it's the spices that make the various organ meats and bits of gristle taste (quite) good in sausage. Now call me Old Mr. Unpopular, but how cool is it that we can have a discussion about meat products on this list? Sure, it's almost totally irrelevant but seriously, how cool is that???? >>I want to come home! I don't think they have Jack in the Boxes or Taco Bells over here! Try K.F.C. - I believe they offer a small selection of Taco Bell products (or at least so the recent commercials claim!). Just providing a service! Kevin Diamond treated us to his lyrics... >>wipe that frown right off your face you and me , we're the masterrace Oh, who could ask for more baby, out of three reichs your four! Your parents must be so proud! Finally, please add me to the list of people who adore "I Can't Own Her".....I suspect that this probably includes most of the list, but since there seems to be some doubt I'd like to nail my colours to the flagpole....it's probably my second favourite track on AV2 after "River Of Orchids", and is one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful things I've ever heard. And it doesn't sound like Sting. Cheers. Dom "I cough upon my wheezy chest" Lawson

Many thanks to all who responded to my plea for information regarding XTC and Unplugged. I can't understand why this series was canned. At its best it produced, in my opinion, some of the finest TV performances ever seen from musicians. TV is notorious for its inability to convey the power of a live electric performance. It is much more suited, however, to capturing the intimacy of an acoustic set. Wouldn't it be beautiful to see the boys do an Unplugged set? I can just imagine the priceless banter inbetwixt songs. In my wildest dreams, eh? Dave Wilson
------------------------------ From: "Michael D. Myers" <mmyers@telcordia.com> Message-ID: <85256831.0069C289.00@notes950.cc.telcordia.com> Date: Mon, 22 Nov 1999 14:14:55 -0500 Subject: thoughts Chalksters and Chalkettes; I have been on this list for about 3 years and I must say it has gotten unpleasant lately. I only contribute about once every 2-3 months because I don't think that I usually have anything earth-shattering or informative to offer, nor do I feel that I need to inflict my day-to-day thoughts on the rest of you. I noticed that some of the new folks are involved (embroiled) in verbal discussions that are escalating even as John Relphs asks for people to desist or to take this stuff off-list. Here's a thought to consider; long ago, I heard some wise advice for newcomers on discussion groups, as follows: think of joining a discussion group as walking into a room of strangers at a party. Wouldn't you just stand there for a while until you had an idea of what those people were talking about and the protocol with which they did the talking? It's probable that you wouldn't just start talking and expect everybody to listen and to respond to you. So it's kind of like that here. After all, the world is not going to end in the next few days, so if you have something to say, just wait a little bit until you get the feel of how things work around here. Then put your toe in the water and contribute. There's well over a thousand people here and from what I see, almost everybody is smart, well-spoken and love the band XTC. If you don't want to do it this way, you're probably going to get off on the wrong foot by blasting people and ideas and escalating the tension on the list, which seems to happen twice or three times a year. I'll get off the soapbox now. Lastly, is Rick Avard still on the list? I tried to send you a note using the e-mail address I had from a year ago to no avail. Please send me a note off-list if you read this. Mike

Thanksgiving is a public celebration in >acknowledgment of divine favor ; not a " holiday that celebrates the murder >of turks ( turkeys ) " . >And I say: >I did not say turkeys, I said TURKS! Learn some history, then come back >with an intellegent response. I know quite a bit of history myself, and Turkish/Balkan/Slavic history in particular, so I have to assume you're just indulging in a bit of chain- yanking here. The Thanksgiving holiday dates back to 1621 - and during that era the (Ottoman) Turks were doing most of the murdering, not the other way around. So... Is there a particular incident you have in mind? Maybe you're saying that Thanksgiving somehow celebrates, say, the Venetian victory over the Turkish fleet at Lepanto in 1571? Or maybe the plague deaths of 200,000 Turks in Constantinople in the first 10 or so years of the 17th century? Most people tend to accept the idea that military victories and epidemics don't constitute "murder," but even so, why would a bunch of English colonists give a rat's ass about what was happening in Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean anyway? So I hope what what you're saying here is a joke, but even if it is, it's a tasteless one, considering all the people(s) the Turks have murdered over the years in Armenia, Greece, Kurdistan, Macedonia, and so on. (And, yes, Serbia. I'm as anti-Milosevic as anybody, but let's face it, if the Turks hadn't conquered the Balkans in the first place, we would have never had the Kosovo war, the Bosnian conflict, and arguably, World War I, possibly even WW2). Disclaimer: I'm an American citizen and yes, Turkey is our ally, but I hope that doesn't mean I'm considered an accomplice. If I am, well... sorry. OTOH, Satanas, I'd probably be willing to send you some XTC demos on CD-R if you can't get better copies from anybody else. I haven't offered because mine are all originally from 11th-generation cassettes, but I hear they're doing great things with audio restoration software these days. John H.

Thanksgiving isn't about men, it's about the gracious and forgiving land which, despite our hideous dark side or unworthiness, continuously provides us with gifts of food and life to last throughout the winter. This is the time of the year to thank the land for bearing it's bounty of fruits and grains for us to reap and store against hard times to come. P.S. It's a harvest festival.

Clearly, it is a golden age for Chalkhill's Children. Great album just out, lots of "Extra" releases, the band in the studio finishing another sure-to-be great album......can things get any better than they are right now? After the 5 (6? 7?) miserable years leading up to the release of Apple Venus 1, this is clearly a great moment. I just thought maybe we should take note of that.......since there's been so much weird griping around these parts of late. >>Now , how can any self-respecting XTC fan go all the to England , and >>actually pass through Swindon without stopping for a look ' round ? I ask >>you ! Well, I did it. not once, but twice. First my wife and I were leaving Bourton-on-the-Water on a drive to Bath, and went through Swindon. I had thoughts of XTC, specifically "English Roundabout", since that's about all I saw of Swindon. Second, on another trip, my train passed through Swindon, and as I gazed through the rain at the dirty and dull industrial town, I thought of Red Brick Dreams. So that was about it. I suppose I should have done more, but what should a Chalker do there, exactly? I did see the white horse on the hill, down towards Stonehenge, which was nice. But I couldn't see myself going to Andy's house and asking to see his shed. I can't think of any reason he'd be interested in meeting me.....shit, I might inturrupt his songwriting! I enjoy music and writing and reading about it, but this whole "star" thing....forget it. I'd love to have a beer with Andy or Dave or Colin, but that's about it. And that chances of that happening on a pass through Swindon....well, it's not too likely, unless Mitch is with you. But that's another story. I'm glad Mitch wrote in about the "Meet Me On The Other Side" CD. Millennium songs, like a souvenir of this crazy time. Here's how to use your credit card for getting it for about 12 bucks: >direct from silver moon music: http://www.silvermoonmusic.com/mpark.htm > from Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000038IEV/102-9387835-3157600 *****less and less XTC content warning******* Here's a bastardization of a Kinks song about "Meet Me On The Other Side" (sing to "Holiday in Waikiki") I keep a reading `bout the computer meltdown in my local paper. I got so tired of it I wrote a song upon a piece of printer paper. I wrote it in Hawaii in the U.S.A. I'm a Hawaiian boy who wants the lights to work on waituke. It's called "The Other Side" and sings about the one I want to make it through with, It's the title track upon a compilation of millennial musings the only catch is, it needs juice to play. I'm a Hawaiian boy who wants technology upon a new year's day. Oh yeah, yeah. I didn't realize how far computers crept into the 20th century, But I've got some tunes to play as I cross the line and make my entry, maybe you'd like it it's hard to say I'm a Hawaiian boy who wants the planes to fly on waituke. It's a hooka hooka on the shiny briny on a wake a hola, And I'll tell you tell you how to order order all you fans of Lola, And even use a credit card as a way to pay. I'm a Hawaiian boy who wants a smooth transition in waituke. Oh yeah, yeah. In waituke In waituke Jim Honolulu, Hawaii

Maybe get my missing childhood shots or shop at what once was Motts but now is a Dollar Store/Rent-a-Center, oh yea! The Back Street Boys are hot, hot, hot; They make my prepubescent body jerk a lot, lot, lot. What does this have to do with turkey and dressing you say, I'm not sure but Blue Bell ice cream cows eat methane gas causing hay. For Thanksgiving our teacher is going camping. Yes leaving his wife and child for Oklahoma backpacking. No cranberries, no stuffing , no nappy pie of pumpkin; just lots of pork served in greasy, camp fiery, squeal like a pig ways. Wait; what is that pimp walkin' sound that I here? A mummer in the distance, the Cowboys suck, oh dear. Rolling and rolling like a big express patrolling the teachers parking lot known as the english settlement I love so dear. I see them now, I see them clear.

I'm back on the list. Good to rejoin in the wake of what looks like alot of sassy mini dramas about the christian ethic and dietary laws. also the c-span coverage of the legislation for irony disclaimers on all chalkhills posts has kept me on the edge of my seat! ------------ i've been listening almost exclusively to 'homespun' which usually induces a powerful thirst for av1. never the other way around though. ------------ the thanksgiving versions of 'fruit nut' have had me in stitches! good job to all who posted. ------------ anyone know where i can get a copy of "beeswax" on cd? i think i've inquired here before, but never heard back from anyone. ------------ trainspotting: i was in a rite-aid pharmacy last week and they might be giants was playing on the in-store sound system. i don't know which album (not a huge fan myself, but i know there are alot here). ah well, that's this post over. happy thanksgiving day to all, and god bless those brave and tenacious cape codders (my hometown!) who didn't know what a party was until the indians showed them what it really means to chow down all day and then catch the game!

God, It's so great to have a music store with a used music section. I told
you about finding three Prefab Sprout albums in there a while ago, and now,
today, I found Martin Newell (featuring the New And Improved Andy Partridge)
The Greatest Living Englishman. Wow, what a CD! It's amazing. Is all his
music like this? What else should I buy from him?
Oh yes, and thank you, every one, for you birthday greetings. (Especially

it.)

Yeah, that's right. I'm lying. Date: Mon, 22 Nov 1999 19:31:46 -0500 So I had this fake dream... I was in a car in Swindon, but I was asleep. The car stops at an intersection and I feel someone shaking me awake. Someone's sticking his arm through the open window; shaking me and saying "Wake up, wake up!" But it's not with the echo effect from the song. That's a Colin song and he's not in this one. Hey! It's Andy! Groggily, I wipe the sleep from my eyes and blurt out something like "Wha...I...uh...hi, I'm a big fan of..." "Shhh! Listen! This is important!" He says. "What is it? What do you want?" I ask. He leans in close - "You're a cunt!" he says. And with that, he turns on his heel and leaves. Still groggy, I sit up and take in my surroundings, suprised to see that Dave Gregory is sitting to my left in the drivers seat. In my dreams, all the cars are left-hand drive. "Got you too, didn't he?" he says. Then I woke up. Steve "I'm a cunt and so's the wife" Perley
