Not perusing everyone's comments as deeply as I'd like, perhaps I missed mention of this song, but one that always tugs at my emotions is Mike & The Mechanics' "The Living Years". Every time I hear that line toward the end "I can hear my father's echo in my newborn babies' tears" it just tears me apart. I think I ought to go call my Dad... -Brian Matthews

garbage , George Sanders would still have style ... " ( Kinks - Everybody's
In Showbiz " ) ...
Congratulations to Debora Brown for being the first to provide the correct
answer to my trivia question . Yes , it was George Sanders in the classic
Academy Award winning 1950 film ( Best Film and Best Director ) " All About
Eve " , who uttered the lines , "To those of you who do not read, attend
the theater, listen to unsponsored radio programs or know anything of the
world in which you live, it is perhaps necessary to introduce myself . My
name is Addison DeWitt. My native habitat is the theater. In it I toil not,
neither do I spin. I am a critic and commentator. I am essential to the
theater -- as ants to a picnic, as the boll weevil to a cotton field."
Apparently there recently was an A & E " All About Eve " special , and this
contributed to my receiving many correct answers . Thanks to all who
participated .
By the way , Debora will receive a year's supply of
Spam Luncheon Meat ( luncheon meat ? ) for her correct answer . Yum yum !!!

P.S.
I bet you didn't know that Sanders was a trained singer who once signed to
sing in "South Pacific." Albums like "The George Sanders Touch" ("a worldly
touch -- a gentle caress one moment, a vise-like grasp in the next " ,
according to the liner notes) provided a crooning background for the '50s
maneuverings of would-be cads !

I wholeheartedly reccomend: Los Lobos Del Este De Los Angeles (just another band from east la) and emmylou harris-red dirt girl the los lobos is a reissue of their first (self-released) lp from 1977, and is all accoustic traditional mexican songs. the emmylou is her first studuo album in 5 years and is similar in mood and texture to her wrecking ball cd.

Any takers? Have to agree with you there. I'll probably be tarred and feathered for this, but Wasp Star is actually my least favorite XTC album at the moment. (At least, it's the one that I least often have the urge to play.) The only song on it that I really love is The Wheel & the Maypole. The album is electric, but it just doesn't have that spastic energy that powered their first few albums. Probably the previous album it most resembles is The Big Express, which is incidentally one of my favorites, probably because it was their most mature album yet at that point but still had remnants of that energy. -- Sylvan "The hamster is still dead." --Leonard Nimoy

I thought you'd never ask... But first, a word for our sponsor. AV1 is a vastly superior album to WS and it's not really worth explaining. They are both good, but AV1 is grand. I don't know who said so, but it doesn't need to be elaborated on. And now, on with the show... Fight Club- Dust Brothers Red - Z. Preisner Out of Africa (the cats love it, they think they're lions.)

Good point, it sure would spoil the ending of each---but with say, a 30 - 40 second gap it might be acceptable (the time it usually takes a CD changer to go to the next disc) Black Sea was the first Xtc purchase for me on vinyl so I kind of see the point you're making. I always felt, though, that songs like Blame the Weather, Heaven is Paved with Broken Glass and Tissue Tigers should be added to a new, expanded English Settlement with outtakes (not that it'll happen in our lifetime). from Ed- Actually, this Foreigner thing has reminded me of something; one of my most all-time detested sounds is the "80s sax part", of which there is a perfect example on "Urgent". Other examples by various other artists include "the Heat is On", "Harden My Heart" and "Careless Whispers". I had a wonderful time in the 80s, and there was some great music, but that sax sound seemed omnipresent in a lot of mainstream pop of that time, You're right--the sax was suddenly in vogue for awhile after a long period of exile. I still love Junior Walker (the sax player on Urgent if I'm not mistaken). Let's not forget that those sythe textures on 4 were courtesy of Thomas Dolby as well---so at least Mick Jones had taste even if he was the "shitty Mick Jones". Sarah (not plain but perhaps tall...) said- > OK, I agree, NOTHING is as good as the Simpsons. However being an unnecessarily big fan of both shows, I'm partial to quite a few shows on the Cartoon Network. Powerpuff Girls is easily the equal of the Simpsons and I can watch with my kids (same with Dexter's Lab...). Oh well...Just purchased the import version of The Hopple--remastering has improved the sound but not all the songs. A pity they haven't redone Mott. Any word about HDCD (or 24 bit versions, etc.) of AV1 or WS? Speaking of 24 bit...Capitol did a bit too little with their recent Badfinger best of anthology. While the sound is nice (well, what wouldn't be compared to the original Apple CDs? I much prefer the DCC discs...), they could have shown a little imagination in the song selection or, at the very least, add a second disc of rarties. Who is this disc targeted for? Most fans have this stuff and the casual fan is not going to care one way or the other if the sound has been improved. Oh, and isn't Capitol part of Virgin (or vice versa) now? Wayne

Give a listen to Tumbleweed Connection (from which "Talking Old Soldiers" came from, earlier alluded to in this category). You could throw in "My Father's Gun" from that too. Madman Across the Water is a great LP (CD, whatever) also, ain't a bad song on either IMNSHO. I like some of his 80's stuff but don't feel it approaches the level of this era.

Yep I'm getting old - I haven't hidden mine, but then no kids- I suppose the best way for Virgin to have handled this ( in a perfect world of course) is to have Mummer in it's original form & a 2nd CD with the extra tracks. Still I'm told that these new computer things can make copies and even allow you to change the order of tracks. Personally I'm not so sure about that.

Olympians,
OK ... so ... what did everyone think of The Opening Ceremony? Did we do
alright?
Luckily there were very few hitches, and although the mechanical problems
with the cauldron almost stuffed up the climax of the show, they managed to
fix it quickly and inconspicuously (thank Ozzy for that waterfall) and Cathy
Freeman gets extra credit for maintaining admirable composure thoughout. The
only real blooper was our poor old Governor-General, William Dean who nearly
fluffed his lines and then clobbered the microphone in an attempt to make an
expansive gesture. Poor bugger. Imagine having you attack of nerves captured
for posterity and broadcast to several hundred million people?
Although I had been preparing for a cringe-fest of epic proportions, there
were only a couple of moments that had me reaching for the sick bag.
Obviously the kangaroos-on-bikes silliness in '96 at Atlanta was Ric Birch
throwing us a red herring. Phew!
Frankly, James Morrison's alleged "jazz" fanfare really stunk up the joint
-- the one sour note (well several, actually) in the entire show. Always
hated that guy anyway. The dancing lawnmowers thing was also a bit dicky,
but overall even this hardened cynic was generally pleased and mightily
relieved; in particular, the inclusion of the Aboriginal elements was done
with taste, flair and reasonable respect.
And what did people think of the singers? Farnsey and Libby did their bit
well, as one would expect from such seasoned troupers; Tina Arena (a
stupendously good singer who is capable of SO much more) was let down
somewhat by mediocre material and a shocker of a frock (evidently another
fine creation from Mariah Carey's boutique of choice, Maison de Tramp) but
I would have to say that Vanessa Amarosi pretty much stole the show,
performance-wise.
* * *
Thanks, Jill Oleson. I can now go to the grave knowing that in some small
way my name will live on -- at least on Chaklhills -- as an byword for long,
tedious, rambling posts. Sing hosannas!
* * *
Sympathies to our Pommie cousins who are suffering the effects of the UK
petrol 'shortage' (and we *do* understand - petrol prices have almost
doubled here in the last few months). Maybe now a few more people will start
realising why we've been blathering on all this time about improving public
transport, instead of closing railway lines, tearing up tracks and diverting
billions into building freeways we can now scarcely afford to drive on.
* * *
More Sad Songs (well, everyone else is doing it)
- "Dark Globe", Syd Barrett (from "THE MADCAP LAUGHS") - heartrending
autobiographical account of a great talent disintegrating before its own
eyes
- "Brick" - Ben Folds Five.
- "Goodnight" - The Beatles
* * *
Some fave soundtracks:
- '2001' (of course)
- 'The Secret of Roan Inish'
- 'Toy Story' (like I have any choice, with 2 kids under six)
- 'Forbidden Planet' (groundbreaking, and nearly 50 years on there's still
nothing quite like it)
- 'Quintet' (Robert Altman, 1975) never seen it on record, but maybe one day
...
* * *
Jennifer Geese - I sympathise with the problem of having to attend a concert
on your own (and I guess there are other gender-related issues involved
there) but my god, girl, we *are* talking about Ben Folds Five here. What
were you thinking?? I went on my own the first time they toured Australia.
My silly wife has regretted it ever since. Hey, she had her chance and she
blew it. I had a ball. One of the most enjoyable concerts I've ever been to.
* * *
Possible new thread? "Music you never expected Dad/Mum would like".
This was suggested by an incident that happened to me earlier this year. My
dad, a fairly typical '70s parent, spent most of my teen years reciting the
conventional Generation Gap mantras -- "You call that music? That's not
music!", "Look at that long-haired animal!" "Turn that bloody jungle music
down" "They're all a bunch of druggists" etc etc. The fact that my earliest
music exposures were relatively MOR offerings like Elton John and Cat
Stevens (I know, I know) gives you some idea of how conservative their
tastes are. Needless to say the shit really hit the fan when I discovered
stuff like Lou Reed and Led Zeppelin.
Anyway, the folks dropped in a few months ago and Pa started going on
vaguely about some "negro bloke" he had heard me playing the last time he
had called in. Eventually I managed to figure out that he was talking about
Muddy Waters' version of "Mannish Boy" from "The Last Waltz". Having dad
express ANY positive interest in my music was incredible enough. The fact
that the paterfamilias (who is not generally known for his open-minded
approach to multiculturalism) was saying that he liked a blues by Muddy
Waters was nothing short of astounding.
* * *
Pardon me getting TOTALLY anal about the Kraftwerk thing -- and I will
gladly stand corrected by those (like Jeffery Thomas, who obviously have a
far better working knowledge -- but I believe Ralph and Florian actually
wrote it as "Fahr'n fahr'n fahr'n auf der autobahn". That is, a slight
contraction of "fahren" (to drive). which allows the line to flow better,
since 'fahren' is a two-syllable word and singing "fahr-en" would stuff up
the scancion. [Need to know value = 0]

Message-ID: <3.0.6.32.20000917130158.00859ec0@mountaintimes.com> Howdy All, Had to throw my hat into the ring on all these wonderful threads. On the misheard lyric thread: Jen Geese's story about Jimmy Buffet and the golf imagery made me laugh out loud! Good one, Jen. Like Kirk, I too misheard the French line "Jeux sans frontiers" on Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers". I thought they were saying "she's so thought-delayed", which to this day I think would make a good lyric. On the Tubes first album there is a song called "Boy Crazy" about--you guessed it--one of those girls whose reputation is ruined by an overactive libido. There's a repeated line in the song that goes, "The rumour went around". I always thought they were saying, "She threw my weight around", a line that went perfectly with the theme of the song. The Saddest Song theme has really shaped up nicely with more attention given to obscure songs by the likes of sad song masters Richard Thompson and Randy Newman. For my money, Thompson's the king. Songs like "Withered and Died" and "Down Where the Drunkards Roll" are just heartbreaking. I particularly like the Los Lobos version of "Drunkdards Roll" on the Thompson Tribute lp "Beat the Retreat". Tribute albums tend to be hit and miss depending on the song and the artist but "Beat the Retreat" is stellar throughout. Other Sad Songs: Biff Rose--Molly Kelly Hogan--King Me Tom Waits--A Little Rain Beacon Hillbillies--Cold Light of Dawn Laura Nyro--Stoney End Todd Rundgren--The Last Ride Whiskeytown--Houses on the Hill Geraldine Fibbers--Trashman in Furs Speaking of Randy Newman (honest, I was. Just scroll up, you'll see), Harry Nilsson's classic album "Nilsson Sings Newman" has just been re-released with added tracks. Harry's version of Randy's "So Long Dad" deserves a spot on the sad song list. The whole album is fantastic and the sound is state of the art, even for today (it was originally recorded in the late 60s). Sorry 'bout the lack of XTC content! Jeff "I seem to be a verb" Eason

Sure, there has always been a delay between sides A and B and of course artists were aware of this, and kept this in mind when they compiled the tracklisting. There still is a sense of continuity and togetherness between the sides, purposely planned The worst possible example in our case must be Mummer. The Homo Safari instrumentals, however charming they may be, very clearly do not belong there and stick out like a sore thumb In other words: NLIOL should be followed by Towers Of London; that's how the album was conceived by the artists.
