ReptHillians,
Okay, a week late, but the Craig Memorial Misheard Lyrics Contest has
been resolved thusly:
Barbara Peterson correctly identified 10 out of 11- the only person who
even came close, and soon she'll be enjoying her very own copy of
Giraffe performing The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway live from Progfest
'94! (Good choice, Barb!). Yes, I decided to tip this in favor of a Zep
aficionado because, seriously, Robert Plant is such a wellspring of
gibberish. Hats off to Roy Harper.
The answers: (like you care)
1.The owl is a boot, has the devil put a sack on me
Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody. I seriously thought that's what he
said for at least ten years.
2.Jupiter and Saturn, overrun your lantern, and to tie you.
Pink Floyd, Astronomy Dominie. I still have no idea of what's
being said here. When my band recorded this in the late 80's, this is
how I sang it.
3.As if I'd never noticed the way she brushed her hair beneath the
fork-lift.
Paul Simon, Graceland. Hey, it was a thread.
4.Hey whoopie cat
Led Zeppelin, Misty Mountain Hop. It's amazing how many
people actually think this is what is said. Kind of a
mass-hallucination. WHY would a police man ask me "Hey whoopie cat to
all get in line?" Why?
5.When I whispered "inner ear" I lost another friend
Led Zeppelin, Good Times, Bad Times (didn't really think he
said this- just thought it was a funny "double entendre")
6.Some people cry, and some people die from a weekend away from love
Led Zeppelin, Heartbreaker. I was nine when I first heard
this. Wasn't a good Plant-interpreter, yet.
7.One Daddy woman, never bargained for you
Led Zeppelin, Dazed and Confused. See above.
8.Clean them rocks
Ian Hunter, Cleveland Rocks. Squint, it works.
9.Don't you know, we'll impale you up on time's pike
xTc, We're All Light. So I was lazy about getting the
lyrics out. Made sense at the time.
10.I've got the big stick if you'll excite its head
XtC, Wheel and the Napalm. Okay, didn't YOU think that's
what he said the first time you heard it too?
11.If I can call you Kitty, Then Kitty when you call me, You can call
"Meow."
Paul Simon, You Can Call Me Al. Like, duh. Hey, it was a
thread. (plus, it's better this way)
Well, I had fun,
Chris "feeling just a bit Pictish" Vreeland
Oh, and can someone PLEASE introduce Sting to Islam, so he can denounce
western culture and music, and just GO AWAY?!?
------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2000 18:57:13 -0700 (PDT) From: Jon Rosenberger <wile1coyote@yahoo.com> Subject: Concert Memories Moley Style Message-ID: <20000825015713.4809.qmail@web117.yahoomail.com> Greetings all, I have really enjoyed these posts. I am suprised at how homogenized many of your choices are though. Fraid I spent more time on the fringes then most of you. OR My memory is better. ;) I'll admit I broke out my scrapbook of concert tickets for this post. Here goes.... Missed concerts: The only concert I truly wish I had gone to and didn't was Nirvana. They played the stell drum you will hear about later and I just hated the place. I figured they would be back. They were, but it was arenas and I passed again. Then it was too late. <Shrug> Other than that I would have liked to see The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite and Havana 3AM. I never had the chance though so I can't kick myself for those. Taht other band fits in here too, you know the one... The only currently touring act I would pay big money to see is the "H" band. Mark and Debbie you guys are lucky sods! ANy one else catch them at Dingwalls this month? I want details!!!!! First Concert - Frank Zappa - Royal Oak Music Theatre Fall of 1984 - The Them or US tour. I had just turned 16 and was liberated with wheels of my own for the first time. Spectacular concert. I was only familiar with a few of his Lps at the time and some of the stuff they did on stage truly blew my young mind. This night marked the end of my normal life and I became truly possesed by the other music. Truly Memorable Shows: Dinosaur Jr. in 1991 at St. Andrews Hall and then Again in 94 at The Much larger State Theatre. These Boys Rock! Period. They have mellowed a bit now that Lou is gone but Mascis will trade licks with anybody and his flights into ALT-Rock guitar netherworls were really amazing. U2: Joshua Tree Tour, The Pontiac Silverdome, we slept out in the parking lot for tics before they went on sale and I became a ticket scalper for the only time. Show ended up buying me a new stereo though. I was in the third row right in front of the Edge. And I don't care what anybody thinks of old Bonehead the other three gents in this band know how to play tunes. It was really incredible to have 77,000+ fans behind me for once and it was a great show! And yes Bono did "rescue" a fan during the show. ;P He will be big in Vegas some day with that act. Husker Du: Nectarine Ballroom Ann Arbor Mi. 1988 or so. WOW! Power from the first chord and they did nothing but accelerate all night. I was crushed up against the stage and probably lost 5 pounds in sweat that night. It blew my mind when Norton and Hart switched from Bass to Drums and vice-versa mid set. After that the crowd went berserk and they needed two roadies to hold the stacks up so they wouldn't fall into the crowd. All three of them were incredibly tight with their playing. I couldn't hear shit for a week afterwards. ;P Within a month of the Husker show I saw The Dead Milkmen at the same place and experienced a proper mosh pit for the first time. My first time stage diving too. You had to move fast too cause the band would hit you with their instuments if you were on stage for more than a second or two. The start of years of waking up with a ton of bruises. God it is fun though. ;) I pity anyone who has never had 300 people pass them overhead and deposit them on the stage. It is a rush like no other. Pure Adrenaline! That winter we lived I lived up in Ann Arbor basically. Squatting on people floors and going to shows. I saw Red Hot Chili's, Replacements, Eek A Mouse, Burning Spear, First Light and 24-7 Spys all at incredibly small venues there. This has practically ruined concerts for me today. I hate arena's but what can you do? <shrug> Seen the Most Times: Bob Mould, after the Husker Show I became a bonafide Mould junkie. I saw him 4 or 5 times over the next three years. I saw him solo\acoustic back at the Nectarine where I squirmed my way to the front in time to give him a high-five as he exited after the encore. I saw him solo at the local dive; The Blind Pig which packs about 100 people into a room 80 x 40 with the stage at the narrow end. Stage being a joke as it is really just a 12" high platform. We ended up sitting on the stage most of the night while Bob jammed away. Saw him at St. Andrews and the Nectarine with the full band in tow. Favorite Venue: St Andrews Hall: Detroit Mich. A huge place that used to be used for Scottish clan festivals. Totally Punk now and wild. About 100 feet wide and 300 deep with a massive u shaped balcony. People would jump off the balconies on a regular basis and body surf across the mosh pit. (I drew the line here, they were nuts!) Here I saw Fear, Germs, Bad Brains, Skatenigs, Afghan Wigs (With Martha Reeves from the Vandellas, of all people making a cameo) Buffalo Tom with Bettie Seveert, & Soul Asylum. Among many nameless faceless other bands who failed to make it. The only other place in town that comes close is the Phoenix Center Ampitheatre in Downtown Pontiac Mi. A Bizarre concept! Phoenix is a 7 level parking garage. Instead of car parking on the roof they threw down some dirt and planted grass and trees. In the middle is a concrete bandshell that has a large paved area in front of it. It has an enclosed sound desk area further back so it has the best sound of any outdoor venue I have ever been to since the sound guys can actually hear themselves think. the killer thing is that the place only holds about 2,000 people so it is very intimate yet not hot. This is a major plus in the mosh pit. It is a great place to see a show if you ever get the chance. Here I saw Tool, Smashing Pumpkins, and Fugazi as well as countless other local less well-known acts. Loudest Show: Ministry and Swervedriver at the Michigan State Fairgrounds. Show was held inside the building they have the cattle auctions in. Steel roof! Like being in a tin-can with a pack of firecrackers. Wow what a racket. Impressive though musically, one of the only times I have ever moved back from the front. I saw Smashing Pumpkins here later and they were much quieter and better. Worst Show: Keith Richards and the Expensive wino's 1993. I won tickets on a radio contest thing. I have always tried to avoid traditional rock concert types of things and this is why. Keith is a great player but he should have hung it up long before this show. Worst Weather and what am the @$@$(@$($ was I thinking?: I was nearly 23 when I saw INXS with Ziggy Marley @ the Pine Knob Music Theatre north of Detroit. There was a girl a bit younger than me and well er.....I kind of liked INXS but honestly they weren't that good. She on the other hand well ah.....Anyway Ziggy & the Melody Makers opened and they rocked. I have a great memory of half way through their set the rain starting to fall hard and tons of very young teenagers and their parents (and everyone else I was with) dove under their blankets to escape the rain. Myself and maybe 5 other lone soles on the hill just kept on skanking to the tunes and got drenched silly. It was a great experience though, until INXS came on. Then I just wanted to leave. So did she, she left me right after that show. From the sounds of it I got off easy though, some of you have had some really bad shows. I ahve also never been to a show that was cancelled for technical reasns and have been amazed at some of your stories in that area. I honestly didn't know shows got cut short. Best Show: Buffalo Tom, St Andrews Hall October 31, 1993 Yep Halloween and the biggest freak-show in town. I have never in my life before or since felt as alive as I did that night in that hall. I swear everyone there knew every word to every song and it became one huge family. The band lauched into Velvet Roof and all 3,000 or so fans just started poging up and down like a huge pile of mexican jumping beans, even the fans in the balcony, I thought for sure it was coming DOWN! Tom played on forever, doing like three encores and playing old stuff they could hardly remember like Sunflower Suit and Impossible. Concerts were all down hill from here. God what a night. Favorite Concert moment. Loolapalooza 1993. Milan International Speedway An incredible day with the Undertones, Tool, Arrested Development and others on the stages. Tool was actually second stage and the mosh pit was over a pile of sand. Insane action. Anyway, Alice in Chains closed the show and we headed for the front. We gave the mosh pit the best we had for 30 minutes and then just couldn't handle it anymore, the day was too long and too hot. We exited the mosh pit area and headed back to find our friends in the rear where they had stayed. This is the moment. In the pit I had taken a gash to my arm and was bleeding fairly profusly and had had my shirt torn up pretty good too. I had my head totally shaved bald at the time and looked pretty menacing I suppose in my ripped jeans and boots. As we exited the pit the crowd split for us like moses at the red sea. It was a bizarre thrill as we walked to the back,people stopped watching the band and stared at us like we were hell's minions or something and got way the hell out of our way. They totally feared us, it was a real trip. Mind you at the time I weighed only 125 pounds wet and was only 5'8" tall so I was hardly an imposing figure I suspect it was that these people were much more used to Bruce Hornsby concerts than Alt-rock shows but still it was nice to feel bigger than I actually am for once. It didn't last the next show I went to nobody cared who I was. :~D These days I am much more sedate I am afraid, I have gotten out to see Joe Jackson, Brian Setzer Orchestra (twice same tour WOW!) Seal, Pat Methaney and Robert Cray in the last few years but now that I am married it just isn't the same. frankly the wife always wants to go with me and she is just lost at concerts. She never pays any attention to the band and insists on talking through the whole thing as if I could hear myself, let alone her. I tried to explain it to her once but it didn't work out very well and after sleeping on the couch for a week I figured maybe I hadn't phrased it quite right. What's a guy to do? Somebody pass me the TV guide will ya? Thanks all for reading my novel, I hope it kept you interested. I hadn't intended to post that long but stuff just sort of flowed out. I hope you are all enjoying the shows out there and one last thing... FREEBIRD!!!!! Ow! I burned my finger on this lighter. The Mole Chillin at the Ministry

Hi Kids!
(If you've never used my idrives please see,
Chalkhills Vol.6 #205 RE: Warbles that are fuzzy)
idrive.com/2fuzzy2
A note about sound quality: I've done my best to
make the 'Fuzzy Warbles' collection an enjoyable
listening experience however, J.V. presents many
a paradox. Chalkhills says the Xtatic CD sounds
"Bad to awful". I've heard from 2 'hillers who say,
"the fan club cassette sounds very good"
What was my source? (what do you call a dear with
no penis?) NO F'N IDEAR! (try it with a Texan accent,
trust me,it works!) So, I EQ'd the sh*t outa the CDR
I traded for and, I think it sounds much better.
If anyone has a 'real' cassette they can burn to CDR,
please down a couple of my MP3s. If you can burn me a
better copy, please contact me (off post) I'm sure I have
some stuff we can trade for.
Thanx!
If you've never heard this stuff, have fun! I do!

Hi folks
One more entry in the bad lyrics thread -sorry, no rhyme:
"I've been hitting the town, and it didn't hit back."
-Paul McCartney - My Brave Face
I think the song is aptly titled. He'd need to have a brave
face to go out in public after writing that.
Now listening to Wasp Star for the first time in 3 weeks. My but
In Another Life has an exquisite bridge. I wonder though, why Colin
uses synth horns there. The real thing is so much better. I think
that way about War Dance as well. Maybe it was a monetary consideration.
On the subject of ELO, I really love some of their early stuff. Eldorado
is good, in that pseudo-gothic style they had for a while. I like Face
the Music a fair bit too. Anybody remember what that backwards message
on 'Fire On High' is? Jeff Lynne certainly showed himself to be
a versatile songwriter. He could pump out tunes in all kinds of styles.
Especially ballads, which seemed to become more and more prominent,
unfortunately. I have to say that I've never been an admirer of Bev Bevans'
drumming. Does the word PLODDING have any relevance here?
I enjoyed Jon Rosenberger's views on how the net is changing the
record industry. It's come along a bit late, perhaps, for XTC. As
John suggests, maybe our Seven Year Winter would not have been so
long if they'd had an alternative to the tight-wads at Virgin.
>To really get a grip on the concept, you need to realize that in 1998
the only city in the World that was close to 20 MILLION residents was
the New York Metro region. LA was second with 15 Million.>
Sorry for nitpicking Jon, but I just got back from Mexico City. It is
now closing in on 30 million people. I've heard that Sau Paulo, Brazil
is around the same number. I'm sure they both had NYC and LA
beat in '98.
Great concerts:
Bruce Springsteen -Cobo Arena, Detroit, 1978. Wow, what a
showman. 4 hours long and never a dull moment.
Peter Gabriel -Security Tour, 1982, Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor.
Yeah, opening the show with the band walking out of the
audience all playing drums and launching into Rhythm of the
Heat was electrifying.
King Crimson -Discipline Tour, 1981. Nitros Bar, Detroit.
Amazing to see four master players in such a small venue.
We were about 10 feet from the stage. One extremely
grateful guy kept yelling, "Thank you Robert Fripp! Thank
you for coming!"
Jane Siberry - Once in Waterloo, Ontario and twice in Detroit.
She is probably the most amazing performer I've ever seen.
It's hard to take your eyes away from her when she performs.
Just mesmerizing. If you get a chance, go see her.
"What Was I Thinking?" - Violent Femmes 1983ish, University
of Windsor -We left after about a half hour. That stripped down
rockabilly thing just wasn't my bag.
Finally, my thanks to Gary McBride and Stuart McKinlay for
identifying the mystery song for me. It turned out to be "The Pop
Place" by Trash Can Sinatras. Thanks Mc's!
And that's the way it was. Mike

If any of you NYC chalkers have any time over Labor Day weekend, maybe we could get together in the city and talk some XTC/ check out some music/ whatever!

XTC is getting airplay around here. Star 95.7 in Tampa, Florida is where, and on my way out to a caricaturing gig on the beach last night (Fridat the 25th) the late afternoon DJ (Kristy Knight) was broadcasting live from some Buccaneers bash and came back from a commercial break bragging about playing the new stuff, and broke into ITMWML. Yeah, buddy! And this is the second time I've heard them do it... who knows when it's happened that I haven't heard. -Brian Matthews

New boyfriend. He *needs* to hear some XTC so he knows where I am. He had seen XTC live, and owned some early vinyl. But hasn't heard anything that *I* have! Factor in the Loving - I skipped some of my fave tracks in favor of lovey-dovey songs, and here's what he ended up with: O&L (my current XTC fave, with WS holding at #2): Garden of Eartly, Mayor of Simpleton, Poor Skeleton, Scarecrow People, Merely A Man, Miniature Sun ES: (O it was hard not to put on Senses Working Overtime!) Skylarking: Summer's Cauldron, Grass, Ballet for a Rainy Day, Season's Cycle, Another Satellite, Sacrificial Bonfire (and this was hard to trim, since the songs meld together like a suite) Nonsvch: My Bird Performs, Humble Daisy (incredible vocals!) Holly Up, Omnibus, That Wave, Then She Appeared, Wrapped in Grey (this was a DIFFICULT album to trim, since it was at my #1 XTC spot for awhile!) AVI: I'd Like That (he indicated that he didn't find AVI accessible. Ooooohhhh, I groaned) WS: ARGH I ran out of tape! all he got was Stupidly Happy. But I plan on getting him My Brown guitar, We're all Light, You and the Clouds.... He's listening to it today; we'll see if he comes 'round. JanCarol wow@bluemarble.net www.bluemarble.net/~wow
