EVERY time. having said that, the one album perfect in every way when it comes to length, track listing and pacing is.. Nick Drake - Bryter Layter musically and lyrically it is obviously the greatest thing in the history of sound *anyway* but the suite of isntrumentals, for which drake fought long and hard apparently make it what it is...genius anyway i shall get my cloak... crisp

Actually I like I will Dismember you better--gives the song more character.
On that thread--even radio in San Francisco has become very predictable and
boring. I used to listen to Kfog. I got tired of them playing the same
Stones, Crow, crap. What's worse is that when they do play Xtc they play Dear
God or Mayor of Simpleton. I happen to like both songs but, common on! It's
not as if they are the MOST important songs the band did. I rarely hear
anything from Black Sea, never hear anything from Mummer (despite not being a
huge fan of the album I have a handful of favs on it).
Radio is where television was before the advent of cable. While a lot of the
same crap still plays on television in the US there are a couple of stations
(sci-fi, TNT) that have revived programs like Quark (although that particular
Buck Henry delight hasn't shown up there as far as I know).
(SPOILER ALERT)
From: gino
Wounded Horse: What the fuck was he thinking? Why didn't the
producer demand that this number be tossed in favor of "Ship Trapped in
the Ice"? I hate to be rude and use vulgarity instead of intellect, but
this song is a piece of Shit. Barely deserves the capital S.
Don't care for the language but got to agree with the sentiment. I think it's
one of Andy's worst songs. I have to fess up that I like Boarded Up and have
from the moment I heard it. I think it's the percussion bit and backing
vocals. Why wasn't We're All Light chosen as the single?
Anyhow, I've taken up too much space. Bye

They were playing PJ Harvey and old non-hit Talking Heads tunes, schtuff of that ilk, and they were playing a lot of it with few commercials. If you turn your dial to 106.5 these days you'll hear a DJ say "106.5 The END, Charlotte's home of new rock" and I've got a hundred dollar bill that says his next words will more than likely be "and now here's Pearl Jam with Evenflow." Anyone remember when MTV was cool? Remember 120 Minutes? It was through that show that I first heard Jeff Buckley, Spookey Ruben, and Shudder To Think. Radio is much like the giant mega-store chains that are rising up like so many poisonous mushrooms across the landscape. Media Play, one of the biggies here, came to town offering a HUGE selection of CD's at $12.99 a pop. Having worked in small independent record stores much of my life I swore I'd not place a penny of my money in the pockets of that damn store! Alas, I broke down. The selection was too good and the store was too damn near my home. A few years later all my favorite independent stores began closing up shop, they just couldn't compete with the fat cats. This tore me open exposing my soft pink sour innards. THEN, when almost all of the Elvis Costello poster covered damp basement COOL AS HELL shops were gone, Media Play, just to say thanks to everyone who helped them run their competition out of business, raised their CD prices and poured a few hundred pounds of sea salt into my still fresh wound. Since then a bright shiny new store called Manifest has opened up. The prices are pretty damn fair and the selection vast. The used CD market is bringing back some of the mom-and-pop shops. I usually get more free CD's than I can listen to through the sites/mags I write for, yet I still find myself buying a few CD's a month from Manifest. The point? Good question. Valid question. Support the good and throw lumps of peanut riddled shit at the bad.

------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 May 2000 00:32:47 +0100 From: Ashley Powell <ashley@apowell.demon.co.uk> Subject: Mexican White Horse Message-ID: <B9QqRAAfM0G5Ewv$@apowell.demon.co.uk> Here's an article with a tenuous XTC which may be of interest, gleaned from the Ancient Wisdom mailing list: An oversized reproduction of one of England's most famous ancient artworks now gazes down from a mountain near the Mexican border city of Juarez. The Uffington White Horse is a 110-meter (360-foot), highly stylized image of a horse created on a hill in Oxfordshire, England. The turf and sod was scraped away to expose, in the shape of a huge horse, the white chalk underneath. By the time it reached Mexico, El Caballo de Uffington had grown to 960 meters (more than half a mile) in length. It was painted over three years and with 2,600 gallons of whitewash by Juarez architect Hector Garcia Acosta and his son, Carlos. The age and purpose of the British geoglyph have been debated for centuries. Locals argued that the image was not a horse at all, but a dragon - a creature slain by St. George on another nearby hill. Others proposed the horse was carved by Saxons to commemorate a victory by King Alfred in the ninth century A.D. Yet another hypothesis put its creation at about 350 B.C., when it was carved by Iron Age Celts to represent the horse goddess Epona. Research in 1996 by Oxford University archaeologists, however, moves the horse even further back in time, to between 1,400 and 600 B.C., during the Late Bronze Age. Its purpose, however, remains a mystery. Garcia Acosta said he undertook the reconstruction on the south side of the Juarez Mountains as a problem-solving exercise with his son and as a way to make passing urbanites pause long enough to take a look at the arid beauty of the mountains.

They played Stupidly Happy while I was stressing at work. I knew it was them as soon as the vocals started. (I haven't heard the latest demos, advances, etc.) It was a great way to first here the new stuff. Turned my mood around for sure. Then on the way home they played We're All Light. KVMR is a community radio station in a small town in the foothills of Northern California. They are noncommercial and very eclectic. They are also on the internet at www.kvmr.org if you want to check them out. Most of the time they are playing folk, old time music, bluegrass, etc., but in the afternoons they get more interesting. They are also playing a lot of the Persuasions tribute to Frank Zappa. I don't have an opinion yet on the new stuff, since I only heard these two songs once so far.

Message-ID: <20000512013820.46561.qmail@hotmail.com> Re: the "Lost bands" thread - John Gardner <Chauncy14@aol.com> wrote >Memories of lost bands....in most cases I am glad many are "lost." >Although, I would have liked more albums and such from _Split Enz_ of >the >Finn brothers' dayz. See me after class, John. But kudos for mentioning one of the GREAT pop bands of all time. Lost? in America, perhaps, but The Enz (who were actually from NZ) were gods here. They were a popular 'cult' act from 1974-80 but then reinvented themselves and rooooled the Aussie charts for much of the 80s. Anyone who knows and loves Neil's work in The Crowdies should really check out the Enz catalogue. Their first album, "Mental Notes" (1974) is one of the hidden gems of 70s prog-rock. Some English influences of course, but a great record. I still love it. They redid bits of it on the 2nd LP "Second Thoughts" which they cut in London with Phil Manzanera from Roxy Music producing. At that stage they were very quirky (that word again) avant-garde, very psych-Expressionist in image, with wild matching costumes, and bizarre hairstyles and makeup by percussionist/stylist Noel Crombie, which became a trademark all through their career. They were always one of the most inventively presented bands around. (See the pics on the frenz website). Some of Noel's fantastic costumes are now in the Performing Arts Museum in Melbourne. One story I read was that back in the old days in NZ, they used to dress up the stage like a beach, with loads of sand, deckchairs, umbrellas and palm trees; during the climactic section of their big number "Stranger Than Fiction" a girl with a blood-drenched axe embedded in her head would emerge and crawl across the stage under the strobe lights! Freak out! They were HEAVILY into Mervyn Peake and the Gormenghast books at that time. After the original writing axis (Tim Finn, and guitarist Phil Judd) fell apart and Phil left the band, while they were in London, Tim drafted in his little brother Neil, fresh out of school, and the rest is history. They struggled valiantly in the UK for a few years (and some credit is due to their record company for this) hanging on long enough to re-emerge in the "New Wave" era and be cool again; they got a hot new English rhythm section, and then returned triumphant in 1980 with their pop masterpiece. "True Colours" is to my mind the "Pet Sounds" of the 80s, and is very clearly based on it, structurally. It did HUUUUGE business here. Great, concise power-pop songs (with Neil emerging as a world-class writer - he penned their first big chart hit, "I Got You"), and there are two nifty instrumentals by their suporemely talented keys man Eddie Rayner (self-taught - ugh!). He and Noel were the only members to last all the way through the band. I commend to you their masterful trio of albums from the early 80s - "True Colours", "Corroboree" (aka "Waiata") and "Time and Tide". XTC link? I vaguely remember a quote by Andy being asked about Aussie bands at the time, and mentioning "Time and Tide", describing it as "their 'Black Sea'. Anyone else remember this? Tim left the band after one more album, "Conflicting Emotions" - yeah, sibling rivalry - and they went on for a bit longer with Neil leading. Although the last Enz LP was not that great, it contains their farewell single, Neil's totally magnificent 'I Walk Away' (which is about Tim leaving the group); it sports one of my all-time favourite opening couplets: "You came out of the world to me My life parted like the Red Sea" After a rousing farewell tour in '88?- with Tim briefly back on board - Neil and final Enz drummer Paul Hester formed The Mullanes, which then mutated into Crowded House. Poor old Eddie Rayner, sick of touring, made one of history's all-time bad career moves by turning down Neil's offer to join the new group, and shortly afterwards BOOM! the first album exploded in the US. PLEASE check them out if you haven't heard them. You won't be sorry. They were a great band, one of the best live acts I've ever seen, and I have no doubt that XTC fans will adore their music. The semi-official Split Enz website, maintained by their fiercely devoted fan club, Frenz of the Enz, can be found at: http://www.frenz.com >Any references to Rick Springfield make me gag; I would rather eat >the >lint in my belly button than hear his music....Yuck! Well, point taken, John, but Rick (an Aussie by birth) had a career in Australia prior to *shudder* "Jesse's Girl" and General Hospital, and is still fondly remembered here as part of late 60's pop band Zoot. Although wildly popular (especially with the girls, they were all pretty cute) they were reviled by the "cool" brigade as a bubblegum outfit - pink suits, pink guitars, etc. To be fair, it was an image they had no say in, and unfortunately their singles likewise rarely reflected the much rockier side to their music, which really bloomed when Rick joined. The main evidence for this is their distinctive pop-metal version of "Eleanor Rigby" (1970) which had been a live fave and was one of their most successful singles. Unfortunately they got screwed by bad management, etc, and broke up before they could really get things together. Rick of course later became quite famous in the US and his old bandmate Beeb Birtles, who played bass in Zoot, eventually has HUGE success with Little River Band. Talk about incontinent nostalgia ...

I forgot to mention one reasonably sad thing that happened when I called to get my tickets to the taping of "The List". I called them up and asked them about the day and time for the taping with Andy Partridge and he was checking and he asked, "Uh, I hate to ask, but who is Andy Partridge?". So I gave him the brief lowdown. It was a bit of a downer, but then I found out Andy was taping and I could go and I got so stupidly happy (sorry - I couldn't resist) that I forgot all about it. I also forgot to mention to Deborah that I have a X's album "Los Angeles" framed and hanging right inside my front door. Oh, and who was it that brought up Captain Beyond??? Man, I loved their first two albums back in Jr. High. I keep thinking about buying them on CD but never seem to get around to it. Do they hold up after all this time? They may have been from Macon, but they were light years away from being the Allman Brothers. Oh, and one other lost band - The Bears. Adrian Belew hooked up with a group from Cincinnatti called "The Raisins" and formed "The Bears" in the late '80's. Great power pop. They only released two albums but they're worth seeking out. I saw them live in Lexington, Kentucky back in '88 (I think it was) and the whole band autographed their first album cover for me and Adrian autographed my (now ex-) wife's "Lone Rhinocerous" album. FINALLY, for those Southern California fans, some quick concert news: Todd Rundgren at House of Blues on June 14, Tim Finn at The Roxy (a special seated show) on June 22, The John Doe Thing (speaking of X) opens for Juliana Hatfield at the Troubadour on June 13, Glen Phillips is back at Largo on May 31 and Jules Shear is at McCabe's Guitar Shop on June 17.

This is some of the brightest, punchiest power pop I've heard in quite a while. And I would swear that John Lennon can't be dead -- he must be alive and singing for this band. But a band I am enjoying even more is Built to Spill. Any fans out there in Chalkland? I picked up "Keep it Like a Secret," and all I think of anymore is going into my living room and putting on this CD. I would be interested in recommendations as to the next best BTS CD to grab. Bob O

As for why they've been forgotten: it's our chew-it-up-spit-it-out-and-demand-something-new-NOW culture that has caused this... I'm not surprised... does anyone remember the sci-fi spoof TV show 'Quark', with Richard Benjamin? Anyone? How many more examples can I come up with? Tons... all of us could, likely.>> Sure, I remember Quark. I doubt very many others do, considering it was on the air circa 1978, had almost no viewers, and didn't even last a full season. Not the best comparison with X, who actually had some success, is critically beloved, placed albums in the top 100, and broke up in the early 90's I'd say a better comparison with X would be something like Quantum Leap, which was modestly successful for several years but eventually sputtered to a close.

I've watched it a few times on VH1 and was completely disgusted with the guests, their choices, and their pandering to the moronic audience. I have a bad picture in my head of Andy sitting on stage with Adam Sandler, or "Chip" from the Backstreet Boys. All his witty jokes will fall flat on the audience and all his music choices will be met with befuddled looks from the panelists. They probably vote out all his choices and the experience will sour Andy from ever appearing on American TV again. Or am I just being paranoid? Re: X I'm a big fan of theirs also. Besides the wonderful "Los Angeles" and "Wild Gift" mentioned already, I can recommend both "More Fun In the New World" and "Unclogged", which is an overlooked "unplugged" live performance. By removing the heavy guitar riffs, it gives you a new perspective on their lyrics. And the House of Blues performances are archived and avaiable via streaming Real Audio from the HOB website (I don't have the address handy). They have at least one performance from 'X' there. Re: College Radio / Alternative Radio We have one "modern rock" station in my area, and they became dissappointing the day they went on the air. They play pretty much the same garbage that is always on MTV (Barenaked Ladies, etc.). The radio in my car stopped working 4 months ago, so I have been driving in silence for a while (luckily my morning commute is only 2 miles). I listen to CDs at work and home, so I can honestly say that I do NOT miss the radio at all. As for the college stations near me, the unfortunate thing is that most of the shows I hear are produced by 18-20 year olds who are still going through musical discoveries of their own. I would really love to hear some older college DJs who have eclectic tastes. There are some great stations like in other states, and some of them even broadcast on the internet, but the problem is that I can't listen to Real Audio broadcasts at work (the firewall prevents it). And when I get home I don't feel like turning on my pc/modem just to hear music. It's much easier to pop in a CD. Which sort of leads me into the .mp3/ Napster debate. Personally, I have no way of getting exposed to good music outside of downloading random .mp3 files. I usually write down band/album suggestions from the various listservs I'm on, and I also am an avid reader of The Big Takeover. But, I do NOT want to spend $10-$15 for a CD if I have no idea what the band sounds like. That's where .mp3 comes in. I also like Real Audio, but I almost never see real audio samples of complete songs. I cannot get an idea of what a song sounds like by hearing only 10 seconds of it! Enough rambling......

Please E-mail me off list and tell me your mp3c address. ( I suspect I'll also include various artists that would appeal to the list, like MH.) BTW, to avoid confusion with the excellent tribute albums of the same name, I will NOT call the station "Chalkhills' Children". That was to get your attention. No, I think "Chalkheads" is more appealing to me. I'll send more info to Chalkhills as more stuff gets added. This is gonna be cool, guys! (Send me your) Best, John Voorhees mp3.com/johnvoorhees
