Message-ID: <0006800024287331000002L012*@MHS>

Hi there "Kreideberger",

Wow, I do enjoy this "great lost group" thread.  And thanks to Jon
"The Comparative" Rosenberger for the bit of "Animal House" trivia.
That's great, I didn't know that!

But you all are forgetting one really great Busboys song: "Johnny Sold
Out".  It was THE song at the time for me, a black group singing about
catching heat from other blacks, who, like Deborah Brown and Chris
Coolidge said, thought they should be singing r&b, funk, or whatever.
Typical racial stereotypes, and unfortunate -- they were a super rock
group in the traditional fashion, and I didn't think they sounded
white at all.  But the whites had conquered rock 'n' roll so it just
wasn't acceptable for blacks to sing it. (At the time, I had a black
girlfriend and got to experience my share of stereotypes and catch my
share of heat from both sides.)  Sad...

The song has pretty hilarious lyrics, which I unfortunately haven't
heard for years (the LP is about 8000 km away from me now, with about
400 others I still don't have here...), but were along the lines of:

He's did the alligator
And then he did the twist
The next thing you know he was acting like this

Johnny sold out (oooo)
Johnny sold out (ooo)
He's into rock 'n' roll and he doesn't like rhythm and blues

All this to a super rocking riff and melody that would've done Chuck
Berry proud.  Great stuff!

Thanks for the memories, everybody!

- Jeff

Well, it's clearly a television test pattern.  That which is broadcast
when the station is not actually broadcasting.  I don't get it either,
but bear with me.  Mr. Love said, "He hadn't worked at all this
century", so perhaps it was as if The Love Channel (TM) had gone off
the air, and so all that was left was the Love test pattern.  So our
Hero kindly "put a bullet in his sugar head", so the station could
actually go off the air for good.

Farfetched?  Perhaps.  Oh well.

I have to admit that I really don't have any idea what Mr. Sting
sounds like these days.  I know what he sounded like when he was the
frontman for The Police, but I have had absolutely no interest in
buying his records, much less listening to them, and since I don't
listen to radio, I really can't say I'm familiar with his recent
sound.  So if XTC sounds like Sting to you, STOP LISTENING TO STING.

I missed both interviews, because we had severe
weather in my area.  I didn't want to blow up my
parents' computer just to listen to Andy.  Is there
any chance there will be any transcripts available for
these interviews?
I'm listening to Wasp Star again, and I have to say
it's a great album.  I've listened to it a few times,
and the only song I'm not to fond of is "Boarded Up".
But like other Colin songs it'll grow on me.  It took
me a little while to like Bungalow (ducks the flinging
poo).
Oh I have to add another album I listen to in it's
enterity, Anthology - The Monkees.  It's a two disc
set, and it's just a great album.  Some of the songs I
could picture Andy singing, especially a lot of the
songs Mickey Dolenz sings.

Subject: Demo problems, a game & a metal question
Message-ID: <08B5DDC2BABCD311BFC6005004A884B013B63F@mgcservices.com>

First of all, in 6-105, Chris Vreeland said:
Knowing it wasn't
slated to be on the album, I became increasingly frustrated every time I
heard IDWTBH, and began to question Andy's judgment about song
selection. So, already, I'm was becoming dissatisfied with the album,
even before I'd heard it! I'll call that Problem #1.

While I agree that this is a great song, and that it's a shame that it
(along with Ship Trapped in the Ice and others) isn't available on any
albums that people can buy, (and that there are various points over which
each of us scratch our heads regarding song selection choices) I'm not sure
where on either album these would fit in. Whether we always agree with the
bands' choices (or whether it's even up to us to agree at all) as to what
gets included, it does seem to be something that they do with a great deal
of care. I can't really see where on AV1 these might have fit, and as far as
the new one goes, judging from demos & preview snippets, I don't know of a
bad song in the bunch, so I can't think of what would go to make room. Which
brings us to a little game... (which can wait until everyone has all the
material, but I'll bring it up now).
Some of you will enjoy this, some of you will think it's a silly waste of
time, but a while ago someone (I think it was John) suggested coming up with
the double-album running order, using the combined AV1&2 songs to speculate
what the double disc version would have been like. Well, how about taking
that idea one step further? Based on every song known of from the years
involved, put together "moot albums" based on different circumstances &
times.
For instance:
1.	Put together the running order for an album called "Wonder Annual",
circa 94-95, in some paralell reality where the band stayed with Virgin.
2.	Put together the running order for the double album "Firework",
circa 97-98, in some paralell reality where the Difford sessions went
flawlessly, and there were no financial constraints.
3.	What circumstances would lead to an album that included "Ship
Trapped in the Ice", "I Don't Want to Be Here", etc.?
4.	Put together the running order for the single-disc, amalgamated
"best of both crops" version Dave Gregory wanted, assuming that he'd got his
way & stayed (and what would have had to have happened to bring about that
outcome?).

Etc., etc. The possibilities are endless (apologies to those who hate the
very thought of this kind of thing, but there's room for everything, isn't
there?). There's no exercise like a futile one, I say.

Sorry to bring up the metal definition/origin thing again, but I'm just
curious as to where this other old usage of the term I came across fits in.
As I said before, back in high school I came across "heavy metal" in the
dictionary defined as "music dominated by or featuring a poweful horn
section, loud blasts of brass, etc." (this isn't word for word, but that was
the gist of it). I always assumed that this was classical music's heavy
metal, though I guess it could have been big band. This was in a school
dictionary that looked like it hadn't been updated since the forties. I'd
aways assumed that the "rock" definition was descended from this; after all,
music puncuated by blasts from an array of horns to music puncuated by power
chords from electric guitars isn't that impossibly big a leap... It would
certainly make sense if this definition descended from the artillery
definition cited by Harrison in 6-104, and it would make Burroughs' role in
coining/retooling/whatever the term even more peripheral...
Anybody have any ideas? I swear I read this, it wasn't a dream or some
teenage drug-vision, honest...

Just can't stop chuckling every time John Travolta says "stupid humans!" in
that damn movie ad...

Hi all.

Sorry if someone has already mentioned this but I am a month behind on
digests.

I've recently discovered this great internet radio station called  3WK
Underground Radio, which specializes in indie and such. For the past
month or so they've been playing "Wounded Horse", and they play it often,
too. So our boys are getting some exposure among the likes of Pedro the
Lion and Bright Eyes (who are also both fantastic).

If you love catchy indie as much as I do, I strongly reccommend checking
this station out. I've found some great bands in the past month I would
not have heard of otherwise. Check out  http://www.3wk.com

Thanks. Can't wait till WS.

Subject: Napster vs. Used CD's
Message-ID: <00f601bfbb78$d33e2c40$2373fbd1@JH3.alternatech.net>

Firstly: I, too, listen to every album I own all the way through.
Especially XTC albums! Maybe if the "Skip" button were more
conveniently located, that wouldn't be the case (at least with
non-XTC albums).

Meanwhile, MinerWerks <dminer@gte.net> writes:

>A CD I buy brand new suddenly plummets in value to about
>30% of its retail price once I open it!

That's true of a lot of things - until they become rare and sought-
after. And until the album is officially released, Wasp Star CD's
will already be rare and sought-after, even if they're just burned
from MP3 files.

The market for pre-recorded music has never been rock-
solid, but it *has* made a lot of (non-XTC) people rich,
hasn't it? Your comparison of used CD's with Napster leaves
out three crucial factors: The first is that with used CD's you
still have to actually buy them, using actual money. Napster
represents totally-free (and more anonymous) distribution.
Secondly, there's a limited supply of used copies of any given
CD, and the more sought-after the CD is, the more limited the
supply. Napster represents an unlimited supply of everything.

And finally, *most* record stores won't put a used copy of a
yet-to-be-released CD out in the bins, at least not knowingly.
(Most of them are clearly labeled as promos, after all.) But
with Napster, that's completely up to the individual, who has
no economic incentive to do or not do anything.

To me, the last thing is the biggest problem. I know everyone
on this list is going to buy Wasp Star many times, but there
are lots of people who aren't on this list, last time I checked.
And some of them might be interested enough in what XTC
is doing to download stuff that they would otherwise have
bought, but not interested enough to actually buy it. I'll even
admit that for now they might *gain* sales from the added
word-of-mouth, etc., but that won't necessarily be true a
few years from now, when more people are doing it.

I'm not really trying to be self-righteous or holier-than-thou
here; it's just that I don't think XTC (or anyone else) has
much time left, so for the sake of their personal well-being
I just want them to make as much money from their latest
release(s) as they can.

Subject: 103.1 Interview Rambling Impressions, Plus...
Message-ID: <s91a9cc1.084@acacia.tcwgroup.com>

Dear Chlks (My God!...it looks like Welsh!),

Haven't posted in awhile - I've just finished doing my civic duty as a
juror on a rather disturbing murder trial.  However, yesterday's L.A.
radio interview has me all excited like a child on the first day of school.
So here are some quick highlights:

Andy and Colin took their cue from the Official Los Angeles Protocol
Manual and arrived 30 minutes late.  Hey, when in Rome...

Nothing new revealed to Chalkies and other long-time fans during the
course of the interview, but Andy did get the opportunity to use the
word "tits" in a response (bravo!!).

My all time favorite "Dog Vomit" metaphor was once again brandished
when Andy was questioned about listening to XTC's old records.  He
said that as a rule he won't, but when he gets thoroughly drunk, he'll lay
on the floor, don headphones (so as not to disturb anyone), and give the
old albums a spin.  Colin said that Andy usually falls unconscious
around the fifth track...

Andy and Colin said that this was in fact their very first chance to hear
"I'm The Man Who Murdered Love" in-studio under radio compression
conditions.  When prodded for his overall impression,  Andy wryly
stated, "It sounds horrible".

We were also treated to "Stupidly Happy" and "In Another Life".  I found
the latter quite enjoyable, and, if the brief snippet samples of "Boarded
Up" and "Standing In For Joe" downloaded from CDNow are true indicators, I
think Colin's contributions this time 'round are top notch!!

As usual, Colin's mic had to be amped-up to "11" - Speak up, man!!

Why must interviewers constantly keep flogging that "Touring" issue?
That animal has been dead for some time!!  Even Andy frustratedly
pointed out that one should "get the hint" after some 18-odd-years
or so.

on other "serious" issues...

(our own "Hans Moleman") Jon Rosenberger said:

>Also on an extremely trivial note.... The Busboys appeared in the
>CLASSIC film "Animal House"... Yep that is them as "Otis Day and the
>Nights" both at the toga party and later at the R&B bar on the road
>trip.

Hmm...interesting, I never recognized them before.  Be that as it may, let
me take this opportunity to self-promote and invite you to view again with
more careful scrutiny at the toga party scenes...spray-painted proudly on
the back wall is *my name*- DANE - in bold capitals.  Did a spit-take the
first time I saw it, I did!!!

Resuscitating an old thread, there was some talk of "A Confederacy of
Dunces" here a while back.  I picked this one up quite some time ago after
stumbling upon it at the bookstore and liking the brief summary on the back
cover.  This was the only book that had me laughing out loud, _with tears_
in some cases.  Yeah, you can get some really odd stares while reading this
one!  If you haven't read this, please please please put it at the top of
your list! it truly is an "undiscovered classic".  There was an attempt to
produce a motion picture of this novel many years ago, but I believe it is
currently mired in "development hell".

Now that release day is just around the corner, don't you feel time doing
that odd relativistic *stretching* akin to what happened around
Christmastime as a child?  It's like the old mathematical example that if
you systematically halve the distance between you and the door, you'll get
ever so close, but never actually *reach* the door - that's how I'm feeling
right now...

Waiting, waiting, waiting, (impatiently now) for Wasp Star,

It was clear to me from her interview that she was
a sincere fan of their music and it was charming to
hear her barely conceal her enthusiasm for the band
and their new album.

This was the second XTC radio interview I've heard
this week via my computer.

Note to Chalkers:  If you've never heard Andy and
Colin speak, you should make an effort to hear one
of these interviews while they're still doing them.
It is so insightful to hear a musician describe his
own work.  We can debate and analyze all we want in
this Chalkhills forum, but nothing compares with
hearing it from the artist's own mouth.  If you miss
the interviews, you might want to pick up a single,
such as the "Easter Theatre" single, in which the
creative process of developing that song is discussed.

Sincerely offered,

Jill

At the time of the release of AV1 I hooked up Andy with
choreagrapher, writer and dancer Neta Pulvermacher. The result of
their meeting was the idea to create a dance based on the songs from
Apple Venus.  The result is The Orchid Show.  The Neta Dance Company
will perform the work in June.

Anybody heard of an early eighties band called the Lambrettas? I never
actually saw their album and don't know it's name. My friend had a
cassette someone had taped him. My band back then did a couple of the
songs, and i recall that they were very good. It was a poppy,
mod/Squeeze/Joe jackson sort of thing, as I recall. Probably
British. Anyone?

My company have just decided to re-locate me to Swindon. I wonder if
there's anything interesting there?
