166.1 | too many to list | POWER::STARR | aka HAZEL::STARR | Thu Jul 28 1988 15:29 | 18 |
| Wow, there are too many to name them all (I like a *lot* of bands),
but here are a couple of my non-metal favorites:
Rockpile (Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Billy Bremner, Terry Williams)
Clash
Credence Clearwater Revival
Eric Clapton (aka GOD)
Yes
Jeff Beck
U2
Neil Young
Everly Brothers (love those harmonies!!)
Patsy Cline (definitely far from metal here!)
Buddy Holly (ahhh - the roots!)
oh, I could go on for days, but that should cover it for now...

music out there that isn't heavy metal.

Gosh, apart from those few I'm drawing a blank... Def

166.16 | In defence of this note | CSC32::G_HOUSE | What you ask that for, you a spy? | Thu Jul 28 1988 18:09 | 20 |
| Just as a side...
I believe that this is an appropriate topic for this conference.
Although it does not deal directly with Heavy Metal music, it does
allow an insite into what other music HM affectionados listen to. For
me, it's nice because it allows me to know what some different people
with similar musical tastes like to listen to. I, for one, do not
listen to HM exclusively and am always looking for new music to
explore, both within and not within the HM genre. Reading peoples
preference from a conference like MUSIC, I have absolutely NO idea what
the authors generally prefer, and therefore may be leary of getting
something they recommend.
I also left out a couple of my absolute favs:
Pete Townsend is probably the best songwriter I can think of. I also
like his voice. The Who were a GREAT band. Also Pink Floyd has some
killer stuff. I like both new and old Floyd.

Hey Shawn, do you have Paradise Theatre on album? If so does yours
have that laser etching on one side of the album? It's pretty neat!

166.30 | STYX | POWER::STARR | aka HAZEL::STARR | Fri Jul 29 1988 14:35 | 14 |
| I have a Paradise Theater LP with laser etching - it is pretty cool!
I also have it on half-speed master from Mobile Fidelity (remember
pre-CD days?), and it sounded killer!
Good band, with my favorite LPs being Paradise Theater, Grand Illusion,
Equinox, and Crystal Ball. They also did not get enough recognition
for their concept album of 'Kilroy Was Here" - the story was pretty
interesting and well-done.
And I like James DeYoung's guitar work!
Sorry to babble on about Styx in the HM file!

| Fleetwood Mac is OK - Lindsey Buckingham is GREAT!
Although I've always liked FM, all of my favortie songs of theirs are
the ones written and sung by Lindsey Buckingham. "Never Going Back Again",
"Go Your Own Way", "Second Hand News", "Monday Morning" - all are my
faves.
BTW - the best think Buckingham ever did was his solo album, 'Go Insane'.
IMO, this is one of the best pop albums released since 'Sgt. Pepper'.
Both the songwriting and production are among the finest I have *ever*
heard. (Sounds great on CD!)

singing on one of the tunes on their (I believe) first album "Born
to Laugh at Tornados". I liked the music they did on this album
better than the current stuff, which is too dance oriented for me.

rock in general (I'll probably get blasted for that). The Police
had interesting songs! I particularly like stuff like "Roxanne",
"Walking on the Moon", the older material. I dislike Synchronicity,
though. I thought it was pretentious and overrated (definitely
overplayed).

band although I'm sure there were plenty of support people involved.
Songs most remembered would have to be. . .`Canary in a Coal Mine'
and `When the World is Runnin' Down (You Make the Best of What's
Still Around)'. . .and I believe those were off of `Zenyatta Mondatta'.

very well with the older material which impresses me, as groups that

sub-standard material.

RE: Mary's Danish
Joe...
I'm not sure about buying their recent release. I haven't
quite decided (plus, around here I would have to special
order it!). I've heard two singles off the album, and both
of them really impressed me (Our alternative station rarely
gives names of songs... :-( ) Their lyrics are really
wild...I'd probably liken their sound to the Housemartins,
but not really....hard to explain.
I would definately get a listen to the album before you
bought it....(depending on how expensive it is).... I don't
even believe there is a discussion on Mary's Danish in
RADIO::RADIO, but I could be wrong....

couple hours in the evenings some nights when they have Rock,

A couple other bands from that same era that I liked a lot were Angel City
("No Secrets") and 707 (I forget their hit, but it was a great one).

Shelly and the Orphans opened for the Cure in Mansfield...
I skipped them because it was freezing and raining outside
(plus, we had too many beers left! ;^)
The light show was great, but the SOUND was unbelievable!!!
Sounded better than listening to them on a stereo, it was the
'biggest' sound, best mix and acoustics of ANY show I've ever
been to, and they played a ton of songs, shortening some quite
a bit... also most songs from Disintegration.
I wish they weren't breaking up.... 8^(

RE: breaking up....
Robert Smith is going into the studio after this tour to make an album of
his own.....basically, since Robert Smith IS most fo the CuRE...I have
the feeling we'll still be entertained....
did you hear the Lovecats/?? medley? (Probably toward the end of the
concert)
The entire play list of most of the shows is in RADIO_RADIO....we got
2 1/2 hours of music from the Cure....making it a five hour concert....

Does headbangers listen to Heavy Metal only ?
Guess answer is NO and almost headbangers sometimes listen to
music except for HM. Ritchie Blackmore loves classic music
and Yngwie also loves it.
So,
What are your favorite albums except for HM ?
Here's mine:
Donald Fagen Nightfly

has a voice which reminds me of Bonnie Rait. It's crystal clear in
some songs and real gritty on others.

Anyone else out there heard the album simply titled:
Buckingham and Nicks
The cover shows them both bare from the waist up...really
no nudity as Stevie is turned sideways holding on to
the side of Lindsey Buckingham.
It a pre-Fleetwood/Mac LP that is really quite good.

These were both from their first album. I know they had a second album that
pretty much stiffed. I think it was called "Take Another Picture", or
something like that. They also had a song or two on a soundtrack about a year
after that, but I can't remember which one.

The sax player was Rindy Ross (I thin that's her name - its been a while). She
was the lead singer and sax player. Her husband was the guitarist.

Now there's a memory for me. My band used to cover Angel City's

I got an album from the CD club called "Trouble or Nothin'"
by someone named Robin Beck ... newcomer, I guess? She look-
ed cute, so I ordered it (it was a free selection anyways).
By looking at the lyrics sheet and credits, she looks like
another "Desmond Child performer". She does a version of
"Hide Your heart", written by Desmond Child and Paul Stanley.
Alice Cooper and Neil Geraldo also co-wrote songs, and Guy Mann-
Dude (guitarist) and Bobby Chouinard (drummer for Billy Squier,
I believe ... I was too lazy to check my Billy Squier albums
to verify it) plays drums.
I've only listened to the first 4 songs so far, and she's OK.

| I saw Heart of Stone for the second time at Sir Morgan's Cove
in Worcester on 5/18, and they were just as good as the first
time I saw them (2 weeks before). They were sandwiched bet-
ween Hang 'Em High (whose guitarist won Boston's Best this
year) and The Stompers (Boston band - biggest song was "Never
Tell an Angel").
Hang 'Em High cranked ... hard rock sound, decent vocals, and
great guitar work. I could see how this kid could win Boston's
Best. NO TAPPING whatsoever ... straight-forward mix of blues-
type riffs and medium/fast scales/solos. Great stuff!! They
did a great cover of Joe Walsh's "Walk Away", with the guitar-
ist on lead vocals, and he sounded fantastic!! The drummer
sang on a cover of Aerosmith's "Chip Away the Stone", which was
also great ... but not as good as "Walk Away".
Heart of Stone came on next, handicapped with a new guitarist
who'd only had a week or 2 of practice, but it didn't seem to
show ... they still cranked. The vocalist has a great voice,
and the band does a set of primarily "hardish" love songs ...
comparable to many Heavy_Metal ballads, but more listenable.
Their set consisted of:
TaKe Me There Speciality *
On My Way Gotta Get Away *
Love Don't Mean Nothin' No More * Rock'n'Roll **
Signal * You've Got My Sex
No Guts No Glory *
[The asterisked songs are my favorites of theirs.]
The only problem I noticed was that Ken's keyboard solo got
lost in the mix somewhere ... and I wish it hadn't, because I
remembered it to be excellent the first time I saw them.
I'd definitely recommend catching these guys if you can ...
well worth the time.
Then The Stompers took the stage, and I was surprised that the
turn-out was so small (especially for a Friday night). These
guys are supposed to be the classic "party band". I expected
to hear a set full of "Never Tell An Angel"-type songs, but I
was pleasantly surprised to hear a rockin' set full of great
stuff!! Sal even played some good guitar, which also surpri-
sed me for a "poppish" band.

Heck as long as NKOTB (yuck!!) and ABBA discussions stay in
this topic then there's no problem.
But if you start dragging the into the Metallica or the Bon
Jovi note (well, I guess there wouldn't really be a problem
about the latter [8^)]) then you'll get yelled at.

They've got their viewpoints, they're very up on what they
talk about, very well versed on black history, and though
I don't choose to question anything they may have to say about
black history, their music is the most challenging and
refreshing rap music out there. They also have a lot of very
positive messages in their music, and are also very critical
of some segments of black society.

Has anyone heard of the MANCHESTER scene?? Although i`m no expert,
i would roughly describe the music as being a mixture of
indie,dance,and 60`s influences and bands include HAPPY MONDAYS,STONE
ROSES,INSPIRAL CARPETS,THE CHARLETONS.
This scene,(taking its name from the northern city,where it all
started)is getting bigger all the time in the U.K
People who are into it,where big FLARED(!!) jeans,bright garish
tops,and boots,and have their hair generally fairly long(for
straights,any way)cut into what i can best describe as floppy curtain
type fringes. Also the ACID HOUSE scene is massive here as well,and
i think we`re kinda getting the two things crossing over.Well odd.
Anyway,have any of you Yanks been afflicted yet?? `Cos mark my

quite a while ago. Not only do they do reggae versions of Zep songs - which is
weird enough - but - and I'm not kidding here! - the lead singer is an

Dread Zeppelin are a five peice from California: Tortelvis, Jor
Ramsey (aka Joe Zeppelin), Gary Putman (aka Butman), carl Haasis
(aka Carl Jah) Bruce Fernandez (aka Ed Zeppelin) and Paul Masselli
(aka Fresh Cheese). They got the idea from reading an interview
where Jimmy Page said that LZ used to rehearse Stairway to Heaven
as a reggae song. Their initial idea was to do all the LZ albums
- raggae style, but with Elvis vocals - in chronological order,
but the tunes on LZ I were too bluesy.
Robert Plant was doing a radio interview and Tortelvis called in
- they apparently sang Rock a hula baby over the airwaves. Plant
says that Dread Zeppelin are great musicians and fantastic
entertainment.

-This one should get some reaction-
(I didn't see any notes or replies
about this song)
There is no sense creating a new note in this conference for
this person because I am sure that it will be the only
"harder rock/heavy metal" song from JANET JACKSON yes Janet
Jackson. Janet has a song out (for a few weeks) called
"Black Cat". It is not that bad of a song which I would say
IS HARD ROCK. I heard that it was written by Motley Crue.
I never thought there would be a note about Janet Jackson in
Heavy Metal, but it almost could be a Heavy Metal song. There
is a Heavy-metal-played type guitar in the song and Janet sounds
a lot like Joan Jett... So has anyone heard it? What do you think?

Neither. Most of the songs on her albums are written by Jimmy Jam and Terry
Lewis, her producers, and listed in their names. However, Janet wrote or
co-wrote a couple songs on the latest, including "Black Cat".
re: Black Cat's guitarist
Its funny that over in MUSIC, there was a big arguement over whether it was
Nuno or Vernon Reid playing the solo. The album lists four guitarists on the
song, but *neither* one of these guys are listed!

alcoholic stupor). He was quoted at the time as saying that since
Blackie has dumped him he's giving up heavy metal and will be playing
lots of dance music. However if you ask him, he doesn't remember it.

I think that the song is very good. Before I heard (saw) it the
first time on MTV they said a new song by Janet Jackson was coming
up I was about to change the station when they said that see
ventured into the world of Heavy-Metal. I thought I would have to
see that.. I was very surprised. She did a good job. I would like
to see Janet keep doing Heavy Metal type songs (she might have a
future in it). For now I was wondering what WAAF would say if
they received a request for Janet Jackson. It would be interesting
to find out what they would say. After all it is a heavy-metal type
song (if Joan Jett, Lita, or Poison sang "Black Cat" I am sure it
would be in the Top 9 at 9. It's all in the name.)

RE: Vanilla Ice
I haven't heard the entire album yet but I'd be interested to
know what you thought of it considering you're not a big rap
fan.

is bogus-ogus.

Well, I heard it 1 1/2 times ... and as far as rap goes,
it's not too bad.
It's got the typical stuff I expect from rap:
I'm bad ... watch out.
I'm the #1 ladies' man.
I have sex until I pass out, and she's never had
anyone better.
So, lyrically, it's not exactly a breakthrough album. But
musically, I like it. It's bassy, has catchy hooks/choruses,
and sounds good when played loud.
There's one song [which I don't remember the name] that is
done without any instrumentation, but in their place is a
"vocal instrumentation" like you sometimes hear people do.
Drum beats and cymbal noises, you know? Sounds good.
The ones I like:
"Stop This Train"
"Play That Funky Music"
"Ice Ice Baby"
[and the aforementioned "vocal instrumentation" song]
And I did listen to "Ice Ice Baby" to compare it to "Under
Pressure", and Buck's right. There's one extra bass note
in the string of notes that makes it "different".

No, they're just rap artists that have more music played
with their songs rather than all that 'scratching' stuff
that gets really irritating quite fast. =)

That Funky Music....the original is mucho better.

Definitely not metal.... I went and saw Tom Rush this past Saturday
here in Nashua, NH. The wifette is a big fan and I was always curious
as to his music/style. After seeing him, I would have to say that he is
an entertainer and a great acoustic gitbox player. You could hear a
pin drop in the place when he was playing this particular song....
Can't remember the name of the song, but the guitar was absolutely
flawless. If ya like acoustic guitar and a very good singing voice
along with a very entertaining character, check out Tom Rush........

Yeah, C&C is pretty much the same as what you've heard
on the radio. Actually, I only really like what's
been released....the other stuff ain't all that
great IMHO. Prince, I don't know.....Tigg might
be able to answer that, I know she just got the CD
recently. (she went home early today though)

RE: Friz
(; Actually I have the tape, not the CD...
Umm... Diamonds and Pearls... the entire tape isn't like
Gett Off (unfortunately) and I still don't think it's as
good as Purple Rain but I don't think Prince will ever
release something like that again. Offhand, I'd have to
say it's merely "okay". I wasn't thrilled with a lot of
his umm... experiments? I don't know if that's the right
word to use here or not....I just think it's "ok"
RE: C&C
Gotta agree with JJ. The only really good tunes off the
tape (Rob might disagree, not sure though) are the ones
you hear(d) on the radio...

Those two were so bad Bonzo must have been turning in his grave.
Was'nt it Michael Des Barres who picked up vocal duty for that show
after Barnsley's second most famous entertainer ( Saxon are the first

Yup! His wife is Pamela Des Barres, who even wrote a book on the subject. She
was a favorite of Jimmy Page's, among others. I believe she was not a
plaster-caster, but she was a GTO (Girls Together Outrageously), who were
a collection of LA groupies.

have any leads before I write to GLR and chase it ?
The number is called "Supernaut" by 1000 Homo DJs and I reckon it must
be a single (because Krusher was telling everyone to buy it and get it
to No.1 in the Top Farty) but if anyone knows of it as a track on an
album somewhere .... that's just as good.
Expectantly,

I haven't heard enough by them and even so I don't know if I'd
consider them a favorite or not but Gruntruck sound a bit interesting.
They're vocalist is from the recently defuncted Skin Yard where by
Jack Endino was a former guitarist. Jack has been involved with a
lot of production on stuff by Tad, Suundgarden, etc. I don't know
what he's up to now.
As for the vocals, as much as I hate to compare things this way on
first listen Ozzy-like first came to mind but that's probably about
the furthest thing from the truth I've said today. It's still
early though.

The new Weird Al album is great!! I picked it up over the w'end.
[I know I'm missing a song, but I don't know which one it is.
Oh well, anyways, here's my song-by-song review of the CD. And
by the way ... if it matters, this list is not in any kind of
order.]
"Smells Like Nirvana" - parody of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen
Spirit". Mimics the original song as being incoherent, and also
pokes fun of Seattle dwellers.
"Can't Watch This" - parody of "Can't Touch This" by M.C. Hammer.
It's a song about all the garbage on TV. Good song.
"I Was Only Kidding" - Weird Al original. This song CRANKS!! He
tells the story about how his girlfriend took everything he told
her seriously [I really love you baby ... NOT!!]. Very "punkish"
song with subtle wailing guitar in the background.
"The Plumber" - parody of Milli Vanilli's "Don't Forget My Numb-
er". He also throws in the line "Blame it on the drain" at the
end.
"Taco Grand�" - Weird Al original. Don't remember too much about
it, because I skipped past it on the second listen.
"When I Was Your Age" - Weird Al original. He goes through all
the exaggerations that the typical parent tells about his child-
hood [We didn't have dental floss, we had to use rusty nails].
This one cranks, too!!
"Airline Amy" - Weird Al original. He tells a story about an
airline stewardess named, you guessed it, Amy. Nothing to write
home about.
"The White Stuff" - parody of "The Right Stuff" by NKOTB. It's
about ... get this: the cream filling in Oreo cookies!! Funny
stuff.
"Trigger Happy" - Weird Al original. A "tribute" to gun nuts,
done in a "surfer" style [like The Beach Boys or Jan & Dean].
"You Don't Love Me Anymore" - Weird Al original. The typical
Weird Al ballad ... not too serious.
And for anyone that has the Nirvana CD and has FF'd past the
last song to about 22 minutes or so, try the same thing on this
one until you get to about 13 minutes. There's a "treat" for
you. 8^)

Ok, for lack of a better place to put this....
You've all heard Tigg and I brag about this dance band that
we follow called Dezyne. We've even dragged a couple of you
to some of their gigs..... =) Well, they've had one of their
originals played on WZOU's "Home Jam" (local talent showcase
type of thing) and it seems that Sonny Jo White liked the tune
so much that he plans to play it on HIS show on Monday. So,
anyone who likes dance/funk music or is just curious if they're
as good and Tigg and I say they are, tune in to WZOU 94.5 this
Monday between 5:20 and 5:30. That's when they were told he'd
be playing their song, and I believe the title is "I'm Your Man"
Oh, and if you like the tune, call the station and request it

to that song something like "I need to hear a Dylan cover like a

I think that song has someone from Camper Van B. or Eugene

It's been getting a lot of airplay out here. Sounds like a novelty

On the other hand, I liked the Camper Van Beethoven version of
"Pictures of Matchstick Men" quite a lot!
I think you're right, Jim, I seem to remember hearing that Cracker had
at least one of the CVB people in it.

On my latest trip to Boston, the highlight was definitely the
purchase of "Sticky's Children", by a band called Duck Duck
from Lowell, MA. The album was recorded somewhere in Worces-
ter, MA, in 1992.
These guys are amazing!! More diverse than Scatterbrain, if
you can believe it. Combining German beer-drinking music,
polka, big band, "bar-room soul", opera, rock, and speed metal
on one album is quite the chore, but they did it!!
If you can find this anywhere, buy it!! Thanks to Steve Grenier

The Stylistics and Spinners sounded EXCELLENT ... I might even
go out and buy some Greatest Hits stuff by these 2 groups now
that I know how many songs I like.
Shyy was very impressive ... have heard of them, but had never
heard their stuff.
Jade sounded as good as Sister Sledge on "We Are Family", but
that doesn't mean that Sister Sledge sounds bad. I thought
they sounded just as good as they used to.
Donna Summer is still extremely boinkable, and sounded FANTASTIC,
especially on "Last Dance". As she was singing, I was thinking
that I'd like to hear Mariah Carey do a remake just to see what
she'd do to it [translation: how much she'd butcher it].
Vicki Sue Robinson sounded horrible ... not sure if there was a
good reason for it, besides that she's lost her voice, but I
wasn't impresses at all. All she did was scream.
And it was good to see Bo and Luke again ... it's just too bad
they didn't bring Daisy.

That's what I meant. I know Tom Wopat actually prefers singing
and playing for his own enjoyment and is quite introverted
actually. John Schneider was more flamboyant (imo) and tried
his hand at making a career... one of those one hit wonder boys.

I'm not so sure. I've read quite a bit on the subject and I believe
that Ray Manzarek was the real mastermind behind The Doors. Jim was
just the mouthpiece (a part he played exceptionally well, don't get me
wrong). I don't think Jim could have cut it in a band without the
creative musical minds that the others had.

As you might be able to guess, they are so-named because they play,

My sister picked up a 3-CD set called "The Romance Collection -
Just the Two of Us" at Wal-Mart for $16 or so a couple days ago.
After getting it home, she played the 1st CD and quickly realized
it was all remakes ... no original artists perform the songs. And
nowhere on the packaging [inner/outer/CD's] does it say this.
It is put out by the Special Music Company, in case anyone happens
to see it anywhere and is thinking of buying it.
Sounds like false advertising to me.

Its one of those songs that gets stuck in your head. All you have to
hear is.. Sooooo..mumble..mumble,mumble. I am loser baby.. so why
dontcha kill me, and POW! you will be singing it for hours. Much to the
disdain of your girlfriend who tells you she is going to break your
thumb if you sing it one more time which is really bad because you are
at the mall and you cant find another song to sing so you have to
"think" the lyrics to yourself over and over and then by accident you
sing the dreaded beforementioned lyric and she says I TOLD YOU and you
have to make a run for the car but then you realize that you drove to
the mall in HER car and SHE has the keys so there is no escape and you
end up having to promise to rub her feet as penance for the crime of
singing a lyric from a song when it was really her fault that you were
singing it because SHE wanted to listen to the radio and not to the
tape that YOU wanted to listen to and it was not your fault that Beck
happened to be the last song that was playing in the car.

And included on this volume is THE BEST new-wave song of the

I picked up the other 4 volumes of "New Wave Hits of the 80's"
and some of the highlights are:
"The Kids in America"
"Valley Girl" - stupid song, but it's got a ROOLIN' groove!!
"I Ran"
Missing:
"In a Big Country" - Big Country

| I have discovered recently Tony Joe White and I'm very impressed. I
bought "On the path to a decent groove" (correct title ?) released in
'93 and it's just superb laid back bluesy music. After that I bought a
best of grouping titles from late sixties to late seventies (including
'Polk salad Annie', 'Rainy night in Georgia'). It's now that I
discovered that this guy has writen songs used by many great singers
(Elvis, Tina Turner with Steamy Windows etc.).
Since some time I started to listen blues and blues rock. Glen Hughes,
Pat Travers and Walter Traut Band are also excellent.

again.

I'm sitting at my house the other day tuning into
one of the movie channels when all of a sudden a new
movie starts up with a close-up camera shot of platform
shoes and a poly jumpsuit. Next the ever vomiting
bass intro to the Bee-Gees "Stayin' Alive" starts to
sync with John Travolta's platforms walking down some
city backstreet.

to mass hysteria back in the late 70's. What were people

friends who thought it was cool to go to clubs with lousy sound systems that

check into a band called the Good Rats and an album called something
like "Great American Music" (I can get the exact title and the label
and all that stuff if you want).
Kulick did one album with the Rats.
Now... if you really want to hear a GREAT band, you should check out
the Good Rats first album called "Tasty" (this is pre-Kulick) which
IS available on CD.
That album roolz - among my very very favorites. Great guitar

Michael Bolotin
Bruce Kulick [recently of KISS fame]
Jimmy Halsip
Sandy Genarro
I picked up what looks to be a "Greatest Hits" CD at Lechmere
sometime last week, with sings from '79/'80 or so. They're
sort of a "country rock" band.
Bruce doesn't get much of a chance to do any fancy fingering,
but it sounds like they gave him a couple chances. And this
Michael Bolotin guy sounds alot like Michael Bolton, and looks
kind of like him [although people change over a period of 15
years]. I'd say there's a 95% chance it is him, though.
And someone in MUSIC [Wayne Cluett, I believe] verified that
it is Michael Bolton. I might have a rare find here, but
maybe not.

| Noticed all the stuff about Scottish bands (Proclaimers, Big Country, etc). FYI
The "500 Mile" song by The Proclaimers WAS recorded a few years ago (5 perhaps),
and is from the album "Sunshine on Leith".
However, the best Scottish band (any my fave non-metallists) are RUNRIG, who've
been around for over 10 years. They're from Skye, and a fair amount of the
material is in Gaelic (which a mere Sassenach like me can't hope to comprehend).
A lot of Celtic folk musical influences show through, especially in the earlier
material, but the electric guitar is the main sound, so there's plently there
for those who enjoy rock. Some of the stuff could be "Big Country, except_the
guitars_sound_like_guitars_not_bagpipes !".
If you're interested, key albums are "Amazing Things" ("The Greatest Flame",
"Move A Mountain"), Once In A Lifetime - Live ("Skye", "Loch Lomond" - you know
"You take the high road, and I'll take the low road ......"), The Big Wheel
(Flower of the West", "Edge of the World"), Heartland ("Dance Called America",
"The Everlasting Gun") and the very old but folky The Highland Collection.
Enjoy
Mark

RE: Mark
Speaking of Celtic bands, if you happen to find "The Book of
Invasions" by the band Horslips on record or CD [prefer CD]
then I will pay top dollar for it, plus a finder's fee.
Thanks!!

| I happen to own said record, Horlips "The Book Of Invasions". Can only
say its a great album! If you can get hold of them somwhere also check out the
albums "Dancehall Sweetharts" and "The Tain" by the same band. BTW, I
wouldnt sell the record for any amount of dollars! But out of curiosity,
what exactly do you mean by "top dollars???

RE: Tom
Whatever the selling price is, I think I'd be willing to pay
it. And I KNOW it's a great album ... that's why I've been
looking for it for 5-10 years now!! 8^)
I have "Short Stories, Tall Tales", "The Man Who Built
America", and one other on record ... bought them just to
get a taste of the band while I continued my search. And
they are nowhere near as good as "The Book of Invasions".

Included are favorites like "Come on Eileen" and "In a Big

The radio stations are really getting into the 70's
early 80's thing. on Saturday nights 98.5 has a
classics show from 9-12. And I kid you not, I heard
"Seasons in the Sun" on it. (or maybe that was the
new 93.7) Also heard "Shake Your Bootie" by KC and
the Sunshine Band. 98.5 also has a show that they
call "Lost 45's" on Sunday nights.
Pretty cool stuff if you like that type of music (which
I do)

She looked fairly skinny by the Belinda scale. Oh...and I think they

Yeah, Belinda had a baby. Had a rough pregnancy too from
what she said. I guess their record company was going to
do some kind of 'compilation/rejuvenation' thing (I forget
the word she used), with or without the help of the band
so the gals decided to go for it and be part of the project.
She said they dug out some unreleased music and picked three
songs to put on this album. And she said that they may get
back together to record new stuff....

Ok...time to come out of the closet...and not even appologize for

they reunited this year! Got to see them at Great Woods and caught the
show the other night on MTV. :)
And as for WAAF...boy was I getting bored with the "Greed Tour" stuff.
Nobody twisted anybody's arm to buy tickets to the shows and part of it
did go to charity. I notice they don't seem to being saying much
about the scalpers (or Ticket-rip-ya-off fee agencies) or the Rolling
Stones charging $25 for a cotton baseball hat! HMMMP!

Actually, what I like about Garth is that he's not your typical
"whiny country singer". Some of his stuff rocks!!
"Ain't Goin' Down 'til the Sun Comes Up" and "Against the Grain"
are great songs!!

166.831 | How I gave country the boot | DREGS::BLICKSTEIN | There can be only one | Mon Mar 27 1995 16:22 | 25 |
| I once unwillingly auditioned for a country band.
A guy came to repair my cable TV and saw all my instruments and said he
was looking for a keyboard player for his country band. I told him
I like to listen to country but wasn't that hot on being in a country
band. He was pretty insistent upon me doing a little bit of playing
anyway - kinda an one-man audition.
Well... I played a bit of "country stuff" and he said he was very
impressed with my playing and all... then we started talking about...
STAGE CLOTHES.
I told him I didn't have anything in the country vein and he said that
was OK (remember I've told him already I wasn't interested) but did I
have any boots he asked. "No" I said. "Well you'd have to buy at
least 3 pairs of course, I have over two dozen." I told him I wasn't
willing to do that. It was only AFTER saying that he said, "well then
this just won't work out."
It was one of the weirder "musician encounters" I ever had. It didn't
matter that I had no interest in this junk he still was trying like mad
to talk me into it. But once I said "I won't buy boots" THAT was
something he couldn't bend on.

Well, I've gotten through most of those 12 CD's I got from the
Newbury Comics bargain bin:
Atom Seed ["Get in Line"]*- rockin' alternative stuff. Lead
singer sounds like Billy Idol. OK
guitar work for alternative also.
John Moore ["Distortion"]*- More rockin' alternative stuff.
The Raindogs ["Lost Souls"] - sound ALOT like the Del Fuegos,
who don't do much for me. Not
impressed.
And the rest is just OK. Nothing memorable, but I don't hate
it either.

Voice Farm ["Bigger Cooler Weirder"] - catchy techno-pop. Good
stuff if you like dance
music.
Lava Hay ["Lava Hay"] - All-female group, or so it sounds. Very
boring, IMO ... almost like the Indigo
Girls, but not as good.

Speakin' of ABBA... I was in a new wave band back in the early 80s
that covered an ABBA song... something about going nuts. The
backing vocal repeated "cracking up" I think.
I remember I really like the song, FWIW.
They also have an awesome studio. I think it appeared in one

| re .885
They were absolutely massive in Europe. Sadly, for people of my age anyway,
they formed part of the soundtrack for our childhood, so greatest hits
compilations, and revivals, are pretty welcome. We had an ABBA revival in
Britain a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, this brought bands like Erasure
and Bjorn Again into the limelight. pah!
ABBA Gold (double CD greatest hits effort) went multi-platinum almost
immediately, when it was released over here a couple of years back. Must be
all those nostalgic twenty-somethings getting tired of the shite that's
released in the name of Music these days.

| AAaahhhh..."Ebeneezer Goode", by the Shamen. Brings back memories of my first
year in University. "Es are good, Es are good" etc. I was amazed that the
rather conservative National Radio stations didn't ban that one.
Thanks for reminding me, Jen! I'm off to listen to that Shamen album (and the
Stereo MCs I think).
btw, re CD prices, I bought "Homegrown", by Dodgy, a couple of weeks ago, and
it cost 14.99 (that's about $23 to you lot, I think).
Have a good weekend, everyone; I'm going home....it's gone 5!

I didn't know there was a video for "Ebeneezer Goode"!
I'll have to look up the other artists on the CD. I haven't listened
to it for a little while...definately have to be in the right mood for
it!
But it had most of the music I heard at the club "Washington
Heights" in Reading (aka Washing your tights). This place was HUGE
and didn't remind me of anything around here.
It was near Halloween (which I gather isn't BIG over in the UK) and
they waived the cover if you were in costume. Meanwhile they staged
an entire production themed after Michael Jackson's "Thriller".
Absolutely wild night!

Well, "Dance with Me - Intuition" is DEFINATELY not the Orleans song!
I think it has a grand total of 12 words repeated on and on and "let me
be your partner" aren't any of them.
Meanwhile the "I Feel Love - Messiah" might be like Diva Donna's but I
can't remember right now.

Unfortunately, "Washing yer tights" is more often known (these days) as
"Washington s**tes". Still, it's Okay. I assume that "Utopia" wasn't in
existance when you were here..? It's bigger, and better (Mind you, I don't
like it, because the beer's horrible).
re a few later
Of the artists on that CD, Jen, 2 Unlimited (or 2 Untalented) and Orbital are
just about the only survivors. 2 Unlimited are huge with the teeny-boppers,
and Orbital are big with the musos and NME readers.

Reporting back. Yes, I think the "I feel Love" song is an attempted
remake of Donna Summer!
And since you all had such fun with the last one, here is the run down

have a good mix of artists I knew and those I wasn't yet familiar with:

"You" Ten Sharp
"Don't Let the Sun Go down on me" George Michael & Elton John
"Feel so High" Des'ree
"I don't wanna lose You" Tina Turner
"Get Here" Oleta Adams
"Constant Craving" K.D. Lang
"Damm I Wish I were your Lover" Sophie B. Hawkins
"To Be with You" Mr. Big
"I wonder why" Curtis Stigers
"Hold on" Wilson Phillips
"Stay" Shakespears Sister

Yes, I'm not about to finance baby-seal killers.
But you're right to an extent. The quality of their music is
independent of the quality of their thoughts.
Fortunately, in this case (Blonde Melonhead), it's easy, both their
thoughts and their music suck.
A much more difficult case is Richard Wagner. He was an incredible
anti-semite and yet, you simply can not contest the quality of his
music.

166.980 | Here is the Blind Melon/DT text | POWDML::BUCKLEY | give em the boot! | Fri Aug 18 1995 09:05 | 46 |
| The reference to Blind Melon was a reference to their drummer being left
handed. This is a reprint of the "In The Listening Room" with Blind
Melon in January, 1994's Guitar For The Practicing Musician
"Pull Me Under"
Dream Theater
CHRISTOPHER: This could be metal at any moment-I'm just warning
everybody.
ROGERS: Either that or it could build up into a power ballad.
CHRISTOPHER: I feel like we might have to excuse ourselves here for a
second. We might have to leave.
ROGERS: This is one of those guitar sounds that when he hits a note,
about a million lights jump up on his guitar rig.
CHRISTOPHER: Any minute now there is going to be a squealy.
ROGERS: Is this like Queensryche?
CHRISTOPHER: If it is, let's turn it off right away because I hate that
band.
ROGERS: Hate it. This is the kind of music you listen to right when you
start to get your pubic hairs.
CHRISTOPHER: I can't even be fair to this music because I hate it so
bad. I can't even sit through one song. I know I'm not being fair but I
think it is complete garbage. That sort of guitar playing is just stupid.
ROGERS: If I want to hear a metal band I rally like old Black Sabbath
and Soundgarden; heavy bands with brains. If I were listening to an
angry metal band I would be more into Rage Against The Machine or Sugar.
I like the Sugar record a lot, I like Sonic Youth a lot. That's heavy,
guitar based music that I listen to.
CHRISTOPHER: Playing fast for the sake of fast is hideous. I hate that
whole mentality of sitting around playing scales and cock-rock crap.
ROGERS: I heard some squealies. I don't really like that sound either.
I'm not into those guitar sounds. When I hear that stuff I get squeamish.
GUITAR: THAT WAS DREAM THEATER.
CHRISTOPHER: We'll remember not to buy that record. I bet they have
really nice hair though....Now I'm being mean
ROGERS: This is just our opinion. There's a lot of people that like
Dream Theater and that's fine. They get off on it-good for them. They
probably hate us, maybe they won't.
CHRISTOPHER: They probably do because we sound like were playing sloppy.
But that's alright, it's just a different thing. We're just coming from
a different space.
ROGERS: In no way do we condemn this sort of music. These people have
the right to exist.
CHRISTOPHER: Just keep them the hell away from us.

Oh no, saying that its the kind of music you listen to when you
get your pubies is certainly NOT condemning it... no sirree... not
at all.
Note how their tone changes when they discover that the band they've
just be mercilously ragging on is one of the most respect bands among
the readership of the magazine?

are taking it seriously. Give me a break. Who cares what an
alternative band [with a member named SHANNEN] has to say about
a progressive metal band?

I do. I like both bands. Or should I say I USED TO LIKE Blind melon.
They lost points in my book by knocking down Dream Theater. Who I know
could play circles around Blind Melon.
I thought they were like a "peace love & flowers" type of band, but I
guess not.
BTW, shannen hoon looks like a real dork with his new haircut. And
those horned rimmed glasses..... Ouch!

| I can't take any band seriously that knocks Dream Theater _and_
Queensryche in the same interview! I mean come off it, even people
who don't like music like Dream Theater and Queensryche can appreciate
the vocal and musical talents of these two bands. They make
Queensryche sound like they're typical poseurs. I think Queensryche
are one of the most 'cerebral' metal bands of the last decade, and
continue to be my favorite 'metal' band.

Regardless of what Blind Melon thinks of other bands, their
music doesn't change because of it.
So if you like Blind Melon's music, then buy their stuff. If
you don't, then don't buy it. If you like what Blind Melon
says about other performers, buy periodicals that feature
their opinions. If you don't, then don't buy them.
|
166.990 | | MKOTS3::GRENIER | | Mon Aug 21 1995 10:14 | 11 |
| Well, I never liked their music to begin with, I think they're shite!
But as a musician & music lover, I could respect their decision to
play whatever they like. But how often to you hear serious musicians
slamming other musicians because of differences in musical style? Not
very often, from the interviews I've read. The worst I've seen is
'They're good, but I don't get into that style of music.' These guys
are just showing us that they're idiots.
IMHO of course.

| Shawn,
I'd also like to mention that Petrucci was asked about the Blind Melon
comments in an interview in a subsequent issue and showed Blind Melon
the kind of gracefuly, dignified respect that REAL musicians (as
opposed to "rock stars") show for other musicians.
You'd expect that from Petrucci - but of course, I'm a realistic and
know that you could NEVER "expect" that from people of the Blind Melon
ilk.
I think of them less a "musicians" than as "rock stars".

Well, I'm not doubting the fact that Blind Melon are a bunch
of idiots ... it's obvious that they are if they're going to
slam another band just for the sake of slamming them, be it
DT or The Partridge Family.
But it shouldn't make you dislike their music if you liked it
before. Then again, I wouldn't blame you if you chose not to
give them a chance after hearing their comments.

| What I find really funny is that they joke about cliche's ("squealies",
"ballads") when
a) Dream Theater is about the LAST band that is guilty of being
"cliche"
b) Blind Melon is about the FIRST band that is guilty of using
cliches. They are not even remotely as "original" as DT.

Did anybody happen to glance at the back of Garth Brooks' "The
Hits" CD?
It says something like "if this CD is drilled/cut or says 'for
promotional purposes only', the artist receives no compensation
for its sale"?
Come on, Garth ... you're the top country performer right at the
moment, and have been for awhile now, and you're worried about
a few thousand CD's sold as cut-outs? Heck, it'll be 10 years
by the time any of your CD's even GET to a cut-out bin.
Wonder if he's still fuming over the used CD market also.

for $8 each at Newbury Comics. Unfortunately, they didn't have

"Just What I Needed: Anthology" - The Cars
2-CD set of hits, unreleased and B-sides
"[whatever]" - Madonna
"TV Album" - Weird Al Yankovic
Looks to be full of previously released songs, just
like "The Food Album" was
"I Believe in Father Christmas" - ELP
3- or 4-song EP
"I'll Be There" - Gloria Gaynor
Includes "I Will Survive", other hits and a couple new
ones

"Anthology: Just What I Needed" - The Cars
I peeked in the Newbury Comics web site and this was one of the
featured new releases, so I stopped by Friday night and picked
it up. I like the purple cover.
I didn't realize Ben and Ric were fighting ... that's too bad.
I'd love to hear some new stuff. I've seen them live, so I
could care less if they tour again. 8^)
There's 8 or 9 non-LP tracks on here ... a few demo versions of
hits, a few B-sides and a couple singles. 40 tracks in all. They
did quite well in capturing the "greatest hits", except:
The 3-song segue from "Candy'O" is missing ... they did include
"Double Life" and "Candy'O", but not together and "Shoobee Doo"
is missing.
"Double Trouble" is missing from "Door to Door".
Did you know that the best they ever did [according to Billboard]
was #3 with "Drive"? "Let's Go" got to #10, but besides that they
were basically a commercial flop before "Heartbeat City".

| Spiked! The Music of Spike Jones
Spiked! The Music of Spike Jones (liner notes to Catalyst CD, 1994)
Welcome, music lovers, to the cheerfully deranged world of Spike Jones and
his City Slickers. There's gunshots and cowbells aplenty, not to mention
class hostility, first-rate musicianship, subverted expectations,
hair-trigger timing, and more than enough material for that interesting
subset of folks looking to be offended, who might like to begin, actually,
with the lyrics to the recitative or lead-in to the "Chinese Dance" in
Spike's Nutcracker Suite-- although mild compared to, oh say your average
Chinese celebrity roast, this will require the sort of listener who either
wants to wince with embarrassment or can find in vintage bigotry quaint
refuge from the more virulent forms encountered in our own era. There is
certainly lots of it here to go around. The "Russian Dance" makes fun of
Russians. "Granny Speaks" is an insult to older people. Elsewhere,
"Pal-Yat-Chee" manages to offend country people and Italians, "Deep
Purple," featuring Paul Frees's impression of Billy Eckstine, will offend
Afro-Americans because the singer keeps nodding off, implying narcolepsy
not in the public interest, and so forth. What today we would
unquestioningly call acts of racism seemed, for Spike and the Slickers and
indeed postwar America, as pure and unpremeditated as the breathing of a
Zen monk. It was the Golden Age of Radio, and dialect humor, a legacy from
vaudeville and minstrel shows before it, was part of the comedy
environment-- shows like "Amos 'n' Andy," "Life with Luigi" and "The
Goldbergs" aired week after week, available for free to listeners not
always analytical about what they were hearing. (Additionally, for
musicians of the swing era, "Chinese" references in song lyrics had long
been code for opium, its derivatives, and their recreational use-- so
there's maybe that subtext here as well.)
All through this Nutcracker, in fact, runs a strange uneasy mixture of
jaded musicians' sarcasm and honest straight-world sentimentality.
Nowadays, when everybody knows everything and nobody takes any text
seriously, it's hard to remember how it felt once to share a public world
not as contaminated by the terminology wised-up irony that has come to
pervade our own lives. People were still running on a residue of belief in
movies, and radio, and pop music-- as if there were an unspoken deal still
in effect, despite the war, despite everything.When the Nutcracker album
was released in November 1945, the war had just ended, and Christmas was
around the corner, the first Christmas of peace. How could folks not be
running on emotions, many of them even unknown to us today? Slicker
irreverence here is so smoothed and controlled, it's as if Spike considered
the full-scale insanity of the band too intense, too adult, for the kid
audience he wanted. Of course it wasn't. Kids admired his records for
nearly the same set of reasons grownups did-- the rudeness, the grace of
execution, the sheer percussive dementia.Yet there remains about Spike's
work what is sometimes almost anuncomfortable complexity. We'd like him to
be simpler-- how much can a purveyor of impolite sound effects comfortably
be allowed in the way of depths? Traditionally, the drummer is supposed to
be the weird guy, the holy fool, the lowest pulse, the one in touch with
demonic forces and deep primitive brain levels-- but not also, as in
Spike's case, a conceptual artist with a head for business.Early on, in
'43, in a Radio Mirror interview, Spike described his band as "a subtle
burlesque of all corny, hill-billy bands." A great many of these City
Slickers who were so hep to the jive had in fact themselves come originally
from out in the middle of America, places like Thief River Falls and Oilton
and Muncie-- the Nilsson Twins hailed from Wichita, Sir Frederick Gas from
Kansas City, George Rock from Farmer City, Illinois, and Spike himself from
the farm and railroad environment of California's Imperial Valley. They had
all left these places, come to L.A., joined the union and embarked on
nights of singular toil, playing live dates wherever Fate led and with luck
now and then getting some movie, recording or best of all a radio gig,
radio in this era having displaced the movies as the glamour medium, and
L.A. throbbing along for those few hectic years as the syncopated heart of
radio nationwide. Local 47 developed its own widely respected style - these
were people who had to play things they had never seen before, and get it
perfect the first time, or go on live before audiences in the invisible
millions, and perform flawlessly. L.A. for a while was probably the center
of the musical universe, Stravinsky living just off Sunset, Schoenberg
teaching at UCLA, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis playing their historic
gigs around South Central, nightclubs booming, radio stations broadcasting
from them live, Zeidler & Zeidler doing phenomenal business in bop
cardigans and porkpie hats, the whole town hopping. the pace swifter and
louder than we usually think of in connection with California. Spike turned
out to be one of the bright foci of all that energy, stepping, as a
consummate and paid-up percussionist, into the sudden worldwide lull that
followed the years of explosive destruction, from whose audio vernacular of
course would be drawn the tuned gunshots, and Slickers screaming and
running around, destroying sets, appearing to thrust various props into or
through their heads, acting our the most lowbrow of musical impulses.But at
the same time here was this strong attraction to the more refined world of
the classics. Spike told an often-reworked story about going to hear
Stravinsky conduct The Firebird at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A. Stravinsky
is wearing some new patent leather shoes, and Spike is sitting close enough
to notice that every time the composer-conductor goes up on his toes just
before a downbeat, the shoes squeak. "Here would go the violins," as he
told it, " and 'squeak squeak' would go his shoes. He should have worn a
pair of sneakers. And the pseudos who went down to see the ballet, they
didn't know what they were looking at anyway. They thought, Stravinsky's
done it again. New percussive effects." But then later, driving home, Spike
gets to thinking-- " . . . if you made planned mistakes in musical
arrangements and took the place of regular notes in well-known tunes with
sound effects, there might be some fun in it."The Stravinsky story sheds
light from a couple of angles. Though the evidence suggests that the
development of the Slicker concept was a little less closely thought out
than this, still, with Spike in control of the rewrite, it was how the
sound should have originated, how it will have to be shown in any eventual
movie of Spike's life - rational planning plus painstaking execution equals
the raving musical insanity America came to love. Unable to respect
highbrow audiences, Spike nonetheless wanted to claim inspiration from
highbrow music. Both wanting and rejecting these connections at the same
time seemed to generate a useful energy that's audible in projects like the
Nutcracker, and in what was perhaps Spike's best shot at a class act, the
Other Orchestra.Strings in those days meant not only Class, but also Cash,
what with catgut aggregations like Percy Faith and Hugo Winterhalter soon
to be topping charts week after week. But the Other Orchestra venture, by
all accounts, was not a success. By as early as 1943 Spike had already been
trapped, typed as the "King of Corn," originally an insult title applied to
Guy Lombardo. Announcing the O.O.'s formation, "I am fed and gorged,
stuffed and bloated," he told the press, sounding, strangely, like snooty
columnist Waldo Lydecker in Laura (1945) "with being called the King of
Corn. It takes crack musicianship to be a City Slicker. . . . . Maybe my
new band will change the minds of a lot of morons who vote for us in
DownBeat's poll year after year.""Corn" by then had come to mean making fun
of hillbilly music, which was enjoying a sudden boom, as talents like Bob
Burns, Judy Canova, and Dorothy Shay, all of whom Spike worked with, took
over a good part of the airwaves. Hillbilly was an idiom asking to be
satirized-- the regional accents alone beckoned to vocal impressionists at
all levels of ability. But it's not certain if Corn really ever got to be a
full-scale genre, even though there was an annual DownBeat award for it,
and serious magazine articles that tried to define it. Today, at a distance
of nearly 50 years, it looks more like some labelling reflex-- Spike was
successful, in all of the established media plus early television, so
somebody had to come up with a category that could account for him. The
excesses and longueurs of Corn, in any case, are more than compensated for
by the briefness of its existence as a trend.There's a photo of Spike being
crowned DownBeat's King of Corn for 1944, by the Nilsson twins, who were a
pleasant-looking young vocal act, regulars on Slicker tours. The coronet on
Spike's head is a standard costume-house model, featuring metallic points
behind which are somehow wedged four erect, slightly oversize corncobs.
Around his neck is a crude garland of even more corncobs. Spike is glaring,
his legs tightly crossed, his mouth in an O. his eyes focused far, far
away. The Twins are smiling and wearing these really cute checkered, maybe
even gingham outfits, coded to suggest rural America. Here are all the
outward and visible signs of the identity problem Spike seemed to be having
right then. Still thinking of the Slickers as a novelty act destined only
for some brief moment of fame, "We'll just keep going," he told Radio
Mirror in 1943, "until people get sick to death of us and then it'll be
over." He knew who he was, where he thought he wanted to go musically, and
yet here was this ghostly teeming population of listeners who kept forcing
upon him a kind of clown role he wanted to get beyond. Some king ! So to
augment the Slickers he went out and hired ten string players, plus about
20 other assorted reeds and brass, putting in $30,000 of his own money, and
they opened at the Trocadero, a big nitery on the Sunset Strip, on 21 March
1946, as the Other Orchestra.In his autobiography Papa Play for Me, klezmer
clarinetist and Slicker glug specialist Mickey Katz recalled Spike wanting
"a symphonic jazz orchestra like Paul Whiteman. . . . No funny stuff, just
beautiful music. And do you know what the crowds who came in said? 'What
kind of crap is this? If we want a symphony, we'll go to the Holly wood
Bowl. We came to hear Spike Jones, not Stokowski."'The public thought they
knew who he should be. It must have felt strange in that room through the
spring of '46, up every night in front of people one could not entirely
relate to, even if it was a dream gig, with exactly the kind of material,
white society-band pop music, that the Slickers had already made wicked
brilliant fun of in "Cocktails for Two" and a little later, about six weeks
into the Troc engagement, in "Laura." The song had been featured the 1945
movie of the same name, supposed to evoke this hotsy-totsy social life
where all these sophisticated New York City folks had time for faces in the
misty light and so forth, not to mention expensive outfits, fancy
interiors, witty repartee-- a world of pseudos as inviting to Slicker class
hostility as fish in a barrel, including a presumed audience fatally unhip
enough to still believe in the old prewar fantasies, though surely it was
already too late for that, Tin Pan Alley wisdom about life had not stood a
chance under the realities of global war, too many people by then knew
better. "The people want to laugh in war time," Spike said. "Soldiers just
don't go for stuff like 'Over There.' They want sentimental stuff or
strictly comic. We give 'em the comedy, and it's what the public goes for,
too."
As this apparent postwar loss of faith in the pop-lyric consensus deepened,
along came a surge of music about music, the genre in which Spike was to
become a master. This impulse to kid has of course been around a good
while, at least as long as Mozart's Ein Musikalischer Spass (A Musical
Joke), K. 522, of which one Mozart biographer, in a line which could have
applied equally to Spike, says, "Seldom in music has one mind exerted
itself so much to seem so mindless."
Besides the kind of intertextual hijinks represented perhaps at their most
relentless here by "Pal-Yat-Chee," there also appeared about then an
epidemic of songs referring to themselves, as if direct emotional
experience could not longer be trusted - again and again, like "Begin the
Beguine," "Stardust," or closer to Spike's area, "San Antonio Rose," some
piece of melody, presumably the very melody the lyric is at the moment
being sung to, evokes a night of tropical splendor, a garden wall where
stars are bright, a moonlight trail by the Alamo, and all at once, it
seems, the lyric is about the melody.
Spike's preferred structure was first to state the theme in as respectably
mainstream a manner as possible, then subversively descend into restatement
by way of sound effects, crude remarks, and hot jazz, the very idiom Spikes
Jones and his Five Tacks had begun with back in high school, to the great
displeasure of their parents. But used this way, dropped into like a lower
gear, with antiquated licks and growls and semi-liquid vulgarities in the
lower brass, not even the music of Spike's own apprenticeship was to escape
Slicker disrespect, having come to be code for, "Vulgar, ain't it, compared
to that society stuff," at the risk of de-emphasizing what were brilliant
ensemble performances.So it should come as no surprise to find among the
Slicker oeuvre yet another form that refers to itself-- the Knock-Knock
joke, part of whose appeal lies in the metacomical point that somebody is
being silly enough to tell it in the first place. "Knock-Knock (Who's
There)," may be the first surfacing into recorded form of this message from
the underworld of child wit. Though few of its punch lines surprise as much
now, back in 1949 they were sweeping playgrounds and candystore lounging
areas like major low-pressure troughs. It is only a short sideways step
from here to other Slicker performances that make simultaneous commentary
on themselves-- the addled lounge comedy of Doodles Weaver, the piping
child's voice issuing from oversized adult George Rock, the digestive
punctuations of Sir Frederick Gas. For these and other Slicker virtuosi,
"Knock-Knock" serves as a sample showcase.Weaver is also featured vocalist
on "The Man on the Flying Trapeze," where he exhibits much of the antic
appeal that led to groups of Weaver cultists showing up on the nationwide
"Musical Depreciation Revue" tour itinerary, places like Hutchinson,
Kansas, travelling miles to greet him, barking like seals, from the front
rows. The barking routine had been part of Weaver's kit since his
undergraduate days at Stanford, where he became legendary, once being
unveiled in front of distinguished alumnus Herbert Hoover at the official
campus dedication of a statue, cradled in the statue's arms and doing his
seal impression. This "Trapeze" cut, with its frantic Spoonerizing,
self-interrupting to retune, laughing at his own jokes, is a classic
Doodles Weaver performance.George Rock usually did child characters, his
most famous being the one that sings "All I Want for Christmas is My Two
Front Teeth," which has continued every year to get some seasonal airplay
around the nation. But now and then, like some musical Larry Talbot, he was
able to assume his other persona with the Slickers, that of an adult
trumpet virtuoso. His reliable showstopper was always "Minka," which
Jones's bio-discographer Jack Mirtle estimates Rock played an average of
once daily for ten years with the Slickers, though he had been playing it
earlier with Freddie Fisher's "Schnicklefritz" band. When he changed bands,
he evidently brought "Minka" with him, a romantic set which, if anybody
tried it today, would draw the immediate and avid attention of all lawyers
within scenting distance.Sir Frederick Gas's first appearance was a purely
fictitious name that Spike, just for fun, thought would look interesting on
the label of the already very strange "Our Hour," (which depending on brain
pathways, chemical permutations, and so forth can elicit a broad range of
reactions. The dogsounds are by Dr. Horatio Q. Birdbath, alias A. Purves
Pullen, another star Slicker, who specialized in animals and had the
distinction of doing the voices for what are arguably the two greatest
chimp characters in film, Cheetah in the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan movies,
and Bonzo in Bedtime for Bonzo, opposite former president Ronald Reagan.)
It wasn't until later that Earl Bennett was hired and gradually came to
occupy, like helium in a Macy balloon, the full volume of Sir Frederick
Gas. He also appears here on "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You," Tommy
Dorsey's theme song with trombone work, both Dorsey-style and otherwise, by
Joe Colvin, whose pants in the Musical Depreciation Revue used to go up and
down in rhythm to his playing. The Revue, like the later television shows,
was always as much a visual as an audio act, with Spike running around
deploying his pistol shots like a symphony conductor waving a baton,
giants, midgets, animals, and tapdancers chasing on and off the stage,
Slickers in fright wigs, chicken outfits and suits of reckless plaid that
did not come cheap, and the lady harpist on "Holiday for Strings" smoking a
cigar.If this collection were the soundtrack from the film biography, what
kind of an arc could we find between "Red Wing" (1940) - the City Slickers
first recording - and "Frantic Freeway" (1961)? Hayseed comes to the big
metropolis, starts out making fun of easy targets like Indian lovesongs
("Red Wing" was a brand of chewing tobacco), is presently going after other
hayseeds, pseudos, society music, the classics, becoming with the years
more and more wised up until the last we see of him he's not there like the
Flying Dutchman on the great urban ultimate - the freeway, cruising nowhere
special, reluctant to come to any rest or closure, out there among the
mobility. "Frantic Freeway," like Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse," is part of
an album project left unfinished - vocals and additional layers of sound
were still to be added. But in the spareness of what we do have, with fewer
distractions, we can hear at last how lucidly tuned the sound effects are,
with car horns and screeching brakes each assigned a pitch and included in
a melody, as if vehicular unpleasantness, the soul of the City, could be
somehow redeemed by song. We can feel the old gang-of-idiots amiability
still shining through. This is the way characters end up in Zen stories
illustrating deep lessons, though as in Zen, wisdom cannot always be
separated from a peculiar sense of humor. "My band's got rhythm," Spike
said once, "and to it we add a guffaw. We get along by not taking anything
serious." Which, if not heavy duty prophecy, turns out at least to be his
maniac's blessing and gift, finally, to us, adrift in our own difficult
time, with moments of true innocence, like good cowbell solos, few and far
between.-Thomas Pynchon

Well, it was long in coming, but last night I finally dusted off
some 8-tracks and gave 'em a whirl/click/whirl.
"Witch Doctor" - Instant Funk
Includes such classics as "Witch Doctor" and "Slap Slap
Lickedy Lap". Not to be missed.
"Moody Blue" - Elvis Presley
Excellent album ... haven't listened to it in a LONG
time. And I'm getting impatient waiting for the CD
to get here, so I had to get a sneak preview. "Way
Down", "Little Darlin'", "Moody Blue", "Let Me Be
There", "Unchained Melody" [OK, so not all the songs
are great]. IMO, the best Elvis Presley album I've
ever heard.
"One Voice" - Barry Manilow
Not his best, but not bad, either. "One Voice",
"Ships", "What's the Difference", "Who's Been Sleep-
ing in My Bed".
And I also gave a few CD's a spin, like:
"Last Decade, Dead Century" - Warrior Soul
Excellent band. Very consistent material-wise. This
is their debut.
"Drugs, God and the New Republic" - Warrior Soul
Excellent band. Very consistent material-wise. This
is their 2nd album.
"Sex and Violins" - Rednex
Swedish country/dance band, male and female vocals.
People seem to be making fun of them, but they're
alot of fun to listen to.

I already had Donna Summer's greatest hits on CD, but what do I
find Friday night but "Endless Summer" [Greatest Hits], put out
in '94.
Fills in the holes from the previous one quite nicely. I think
there're 18 tracks on this one, including "No More Tears" with
Barbra Streisand [unfortunately, it's some sort of "remix" that
I don't like as much as the original. Not an "extended" remix,
but different. Pick up Barbra Streisand's "Memories" if you
want the original].
There are even a few I'd forgotten she did.
I also picked up Wham's "Fantastic", which includes "Wham Rap
[Enjoy What You Do]". I had bought "Make It Big", mostly for
this song, and was quite disappointed that it wasn't on there,
but ended up liking the album anyways.

I picked up "The Best of Three Dog Night" the other night. I
already had "Joy to the World - Greatest Hits", but the glaring
omission of "Eli's Coming" [arguably the best TDN song ever] was
just inexcusable, and I had to have it. There are 18-20 songs
on this one, and as far as I can tell there aren't any missing
that I'd want to hear.
And I picked up "The Waitresses' Greatest Hits". Besides the
few hits that I knew, the rest is [IMO] quite boring. They're
a "1 sound" band that has little versatility. If you like the
sound, then you might like them ... but you could always pick
1 of the songs you like and play it 15 times with very similar
results.

Has anyone ever heard the "Forgiven, not Forgotten" album by

Basically an Irish-influenced pop band [brothers/sisters] with
some traditional Irish instrumentals/instrumentation thrown in
for good measure [shades of Horslips in places].
Excellent album.

New album out called "Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits"
or something very similar.
Alternative artists doing covers of cartoon themes, including
Liz Phair, Matthew Sweet, The Butthole Surfers ["Underdog"]
and a ska band doing "Hong Kong Phooey". I have GOT to hear
the last 2, for sure!!
I wonder if there are any "Schoolhouse Rock" songs on there?
8^)
If/when I pick it up I'll let you know how good it is.

RE: - Saturday Morning Cartoons
Shawn, I saw it at Strawberries. I do't believe it had any of the
Schoolhouse Rock stuff on it but it did have quite a few tunes on it.
I've heard the Scooby Doo Theme song getting airplay.
P.S. It was even on sale.

Jen, I did pick up the cartoon CD, but it was full price. Oh
well.
But anyways, it's not bad. Highlights:
"Hong Kong Phooey" - Sublime - just as I suspected, this is the
best song on here.
"Underdog" - The Butthole Surfers - very good. Gone are the
usual "megaphone vocals" that Gibby loves to use, and it's very
close to the original.
"Gigantor" - Helmet - very good. Don't know the original, so I
can't comment on faithfulness, but as a stand-alone it's good.
"Johnny Quest" - The Reverend Horton Heat - don't know who this
guy/band is, but I like him/them. And don't know the original,
so again, I can't comment on faithfulness.
If I remember more later I'll post them.

I've got "The Full Custom Gospel Sounds of the

More cartoon stuff:
"The Banana Splits Theme [Tra La La]" - Liz Phair - after a few
listens, this is getting better.
"Spiderman" - The Ramones - exactly what you'd expect this song
to sound like. I think they even arranged it using all 3 chords.

"Josie and the Pussycats" - [?] - quite faithful to the original
"Gigaloo" [or something like that] - Collective Soul

little bit of George Clinton! (Atomic Dog!).

Tangerine Dream (excellent veg music or when feeling a little down)
Spyro Gyra
Jean Luc Ponty (awesome violinist! Cool rhythm section back in '80s)
Kenny G
Jeff Lorber
Pat Metheny
Romantic Warrior (cool old stuff)
Weather Report
Al DiMeola (wicked guitarist)
Kitaro
and on and on.....these are groups I either have or had at one time or
another over the past 10+ years. Actually, I have something by all of
them still! I was on a Ponty/Gyra/Lorber/Weather/Romantic kick back
then and it still has stuck with me. I love heavy metal/darker metal
stuff also, but jazz (contemporary) and blues are right up there also.

April, when I had the stereo system installed in my 16V, they
had a copy of "Dangerous" that they used to "demo" the system
for me when I went to pick it up.
Hoo boy ... when the father knocked on the kid's door in the
intro to "Black and White", it sounded/felt like somebody was
pounding on the back window of the car. And "Jam" is a bass
assault from start to finish. So I went and bought it on the
way home that night.
So when I had the [better] system put in the Duster, I brought
my copy with me and used it to do my own demo. And of course
it sounded even better than it did in the 16V.
The year it came out, that album won a Grammy for best engin-
eering. And if you listen to it, you might understand why.
Sounds excellent.

It might make your day to know that a new Wierd Al Yankovic
is either out or very close. "Bad Hair Day".
Saw "Amish Paradise" [parody of Coolio's "Gangsta Paradise"]
on MTV last night.
|
166.1129 | | BUSY::SLABOUNTY | Don't like my p_n? 1-800-328-7448 | Wed Mar 13 1996 13:51 | 93 |
|
"Bad Hair Day" - Weird Al Yankovic
"Amish Paradise" ["Gangsta Paradise" - Coolio]
Obviously, this is a song about Amish life:
"No phones, no lights, no motorcars, not a single luxury.
Like Robinson Crusoe, as primitive as can be."
"Everything You Know Is Wrong"
Original Weird Al song:
"Black is white, up is down and short is long."
"Cavity Search" ["Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" - U2]
This is a song about a trip to the dentist:
"Numb me, drill me, floss me, bill me."
"Callin' In Sick"
Original Weird Al song:
He basically doesn't feel like going to work.
"The Alternative Polka"
Trademark Weird Al snippet compilation, done to a polka
beat, including:
"Loser" - Beck
"Sex Type Thing" - Stone Temple Pilots
"All I Wanna Do" - Sheryl Crow
"Closer" - NIN
"Bang and Blame" - REM
"You Oughta Know" - Alannis Morrissette
"Bullet With Butterfly Wings" - Smashing Pumpkins
"My Friends" - RHCP
"I'll Stick Around" - Foo Fighters
"Black Hole Sun" - Soundgarden
"Basket Case" - Green Day
"Since You've Been Gone"
Original Weird Al song.
Similar in style to Billy Joel's "For the Longest Time",
an acapella song including 4-5 layers of Weird Al vocals
done in the doo-wop genre.
"Gump" ["Lump" - The Presidents of the USA]
Obviously, about Forrest Gump. Definitely the highlight
of this album.
"Is this Gump out of his head? I think so."
"I'm So Sick of You"
Original Weird Al song:
He's singing about his current girlfriend, who he doesn't
like too much any more.
"Syndicated Inc." ["Misery" - Soul Asylum]
This is about daytime TV.
"I Remember Larry"
Original Weird Al song.
Larry used to play practical jokes on everybody.
"Phony Calls" ["Waterfalls" - TLC]
Some kid using the old "Prince Albert in a can" and "is
your refrigerator running?" phone pranks.
"The Night Santa Went Crazy"
Original Weird Al song:
If you've ever heard "Nature Trail to Hell" from the
"3-D", you have a good idea what this is about. Santa
goes crazy and starts wiping out elves and reindeer and
making a big mess of the North Pole.

Well, Sean, I stopped at Newbury Comics last night to buy the
new Weird Al album and also picked up "Grow" by Schtum.
In a nutshell, you owe me $11. 8^)
After 1 listen, I'm not all that impressed. I'll have to give
it another listen, just to be fair.
"Road Apples", by The Tragically Hip, is next on the playlist
in the Supra. Better save your pennies, 'coz if I don't like
this 1 you'll owe me another $8. 8^)

T Hip CD's and not that one?
Um.... did I actually *recommend* Schtum or did I just
say I bought it :^) I guess they're not that great at all,
but I still like the one hit.
I'm making up for that though, 'cause I just went to Newbury
and got some Curtis Mayfield ("Superfly") and a cool Rhino
compilation of Average White Band ("Pick Up The Pieces").
Does Rhino make the *BEST* compilations or what? Dream
Syndicate, Jonathan Richman, AWB, Dick Dale and the Deltones,
they always pick just the right songs.

I wrote to Barry Scott [Lost 45's] to request a song called
"Eugene":
From: BUSY::SLABOUNTY "Raging Slab 14-Mar-1996 1053" 14-MAR-1996 10:58:08.48
To: US4RMC::"[email protected]"
CC: SLABOUNTY
Subj: Hi, Barry
I'm writing this to request a song on your show, and I hope
you have it.
"Eugene" - Crazy Joe and the Variable Speed Band
It got ALOT of airplay back around '81/'82 or so, but it's
been at least 10 years since I've heard it. I used to have
it on tape [recorded off the radio], but unfortunately I
taped over it and it's gone forever.
And if you have any info as to how I could get a copy of this
song [vinyl/CD, 45/LP, cassette, 8-track ... well, I have an
8-track player but that's not exactly the media of choice for
me], then I will be forever in your debt.
Keep up the good work ... you've got a great show.
Shawn L.

Subj: Eugene
Thanks for your "Eugene" request. Did you know that Crazy Joe was actually
Ace Frehely from KISS? Unfortunately, the song never made the weekly Top
100--which is our cut off for "The Lost 45s". It is very hard to find since
it was on a label that has since gone out of business. What station do you
listen to "The Lost 45s" on?

You've never heard of the "Lost 45's" radio show, where he plays
a bunch of "one-hit wonder" type of songs?
And speaking of which, I just copied a list of one-hit wonders
off the WWW. I'll stick it in the next reply, but it's going

Hype! One Hit Wonder Compilation
Last updated Friday, December 8, 1995
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The One Hit Wonder List has been revised. We have turfed off the
questionable One Hits onto the Near One Hit List. Due to your suggestions,
single artists are listed by last name, first name. Also we have turfed off
all the "The"'s. No, not the group, but the "The" as in "The Beatles".
Thanks to everyone that contributed but the search goes on...

| Not to slam this list or anything but what is the criteria for a one-hit wonder?
I doubt Badfinger fits. They had several songs on the radio in the early 70s
Chaka Khan did a song called Tell Me something Good in 1973 that was all over
the radio. Don't ask why I know this.
Chris DeBurgh had some awesome stuff. I'm trying to remember the album I bought
for a friend now. Something about "The Devil and ....
Didn't Buffalo Springfield do the song "Somethings happening around here...
(For What It's Worth - I think is the title)
I just heard Don't Ever Want to Lose Ya by New England on the radio this
weekend...
I think that Your Love by the Outfield is on their first album.
It's too bad that Slade's only top-40 hit sucked. I mean Quiet Riot used Cum on
Feel The Noize and another song (Squeez Me, Pleez Me?) to ride to the top.

New Wave Hits Of The '80s
Check out the Rykodisc Home Page
Overall, this series isn't bad. The majority of the discs have a lot of
lesser known artists, and in some cases this is more of a hinderence than a
blessing as no one will know all of the songs on a single disc. This
collection is better suited to listening than being used as a set for
parties.

Comments:
Definately more interesting as a study in period music than
as an album you would want to play on a regular basis. There are some
interesting songs, and some that are worth owning, but overall a dud.

sticks with mostly unpopular no-hit wonders.

Comments:
The first decent disc in this series, it has plenty of songs that
charted. Songs like "New Toy" by Lene Lovich are also great as songs that
you won't find elsewhere but were definately remembered. This is probably
the best disc in the whole series.

Comments:
This disc has too many filler songs on it. Songs that no one is
going to remember, though they do fit ok on the disc. If you don't mind
listening to songs you probably won't remember, this disc should be fine
listening, not a party disc at all.

This is a great disc, some of these songs are real hard fines, yet
they were on the charts. "Send Me An Angel", "Jukebox", "Talking In Your

then you'll be happy to own it on a compilation with this disc, most of

The new album by P [Johnny Depp's band] arrived the other day.
In a nutshell, don't bother. Waste of time and money. I had
high hopes for their cover of "Dancing Queen", but alas, I was
disappointed [in that and pretty much all of the rest of it].
I also got Tony Carey's "Cold War Kids". At $28, I'd have a
hard time recommending it to someone who isn't really into
him, but it's not a bad album. Kind of slow for the most
part, but there are a few good ones here, like "Don't Cover
It Up", "Uncle Bill" and a couple others. Got it from CDNow.
RPM Records lists 6 of his CD's for $20-$22 each, and I'm
contemplating picking up a couple [or all of them, eventual-
ly ... definitely have to get "Some Tough City", at least].
And I might have found a source for Michael Bolton's "Every-
body's Crazy", a Japanese import, for $35 [vinyl!!]. But I'm
waiting for a reply from Sony [in Belgium] to see if they
stock it on CD, and for a somewhat reasonable price.

Now, I realize that 2 isn't a big number ... but these are
only the ones I'm aware of. I'm not a big fan of TV, so I'm
probably not aware of others that are out there.
And what's Devo up to these days? It's been awhile since they
did anything, hasn't it?

Even longer since they did anything good. "Duty Now For The Future"
is one of the greatest CD's ever made. After that, they went straight
down-hill - "Whip It" - gimme a break...

"Teen Angst" was a good song. The CD has its ups and downs,
though. I loved his version of Status Quo's "Pictures
of Matchstick Men," done with his previous group, Camper Van
Beethoven... it made a short visit to the airwaves here.
... which reminds me I should get some S.Q. on CD, too.

Has anyone heard of this girl?
A 17-year old violinist from London [born in Singapore] who
plays all kinds of musical styles ... classical to pop to
rock to folk-like on an electric violin. And although I
don't know much about violinists, she appears to be quite
amazing.
I happened to catch a 1-hour show of hers on The Disney
Channel last night, and she did:
A couple Paganini pieces
"Classical Gas"
"Cotton-Eye Joe" [Rednex song!!]
"Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor" [I believe]
and several others, a couple of which sounded familiar but
were not immediately recognizable by me at 3AM. 8^)

I gave Tracy Bonham's "The Burdens of Being Upright" a listen or
2 last week ... not too bad. I'd classify her as "alterna-punk"
[if that's a word, of course ... if not, well, I say we make it
1]. "Mother Mother" is the stand-out so far, and there are a
few other "heavy" songs mixed in with the expected ballads.
I went through The Butthole Surfers' "Electric LarryLand" again
and I'm still not all that impressed. OK, but not great. The
verses of "Pepper" reminded me of "88 Lines About 44 Women"
more than anything, there are a couple instrumentals, a song
done entirely in French, some weird stuff and some rather heavy
stuff. I'll have to give it another listen before I file it
away.
I listened to "Parliament's Greatest Hits" this morning, and I
had been hoping for something similar to Earth Wind and Fire
but instead got what can best be described as "mellow funk".
The band was led by George Clinton and is quite laid back.
Also last week saw a spin or 2 of "Positivity" by Incognito.
It's still in the car, so I'll have to give it another listen.
This band is more in-line with what Earth Wind and Fire had to
offer, via "get up and dance funk". And I believe the band
has about as many members as Earth Wind and Fire did/does.
And I got a re-issue of Devo's "Oh No! It's Devo!", which got
a spin in the Supra and immediately got transferred to the
changer in the Duster when I was done with it. I've yet to
hear it "in all its glory", but it's 1 of the next in line so
it's only a matter of time. They duplicated the previous song-
list and added 5-6 re-mix versions of some of the songs.
Next up:
"Trouble at the Henhouse" - The Tragically Hip
"Adrenalize" - Def Leppard
"Bad Animals" - Heart
"Brigade" - Heart

Shawn, Parlaiment jams (I have their greatest, too) but if you're into this
stuff at all, I suggest the following, which all put PFunk and Prince
to shame.
Curtis Mayfield - one of the many compilations he has - get one with
"Move On Up," "Freddie's Dead," and "Superfly"
Isaac Hayes - Shaft soundtrack - it's not all like the hit song -
some really major grooves
Chambers Brothers - "Time Has Come Today"
and of course, the inimitable Barry White.
maybe even...
War - might try a greatest hits first
Rare Earth - Earth Tones
Average White Band - hits

It's no Independent Worm Saloon, but it's pretty good. How 'bout
"Space" - everything Pink Floyd should be. And "My Brother's Wife"
is pretty funny. I dunno, I'm really getting in to this one.
"Birds" and "Cough" Syrup rock.

| The Tracically Hip, for the first time ever have an album that ended
up on the U.S. Billboard 200...granted it only got to 143 (I think?).
They are a terrific band for those of you who may not know them.
I've heard that alot of the Americans won't listen to them because
they consider the Hip are simply REM rip offs...this is just what I
heard, it's not an attempt to P/O anyone off. I personally don't see
any similariteis between the two! The Hip are probably Canadas
greatest export aside from other artists such as Rush, Alanis M,
and even the fine fox Shania Twain.
Anyone care to give (intelligent) insight?

Their sound is similar to REM, yes, but not so much so to make
them seem redundant.
REM is basically schlock, while The Tragically Hip has more of
an "intelligent" sound to it, if that makes sense.
But why did the new 1 make the Top 200 while the older/better
albums didn't? Probably an increasing number of fans who were
basing their purchase on the strength of past albums. And add
the people who bought it out of curiosity.

Last American Exit - Not to good (IMO)
Up to Here - Great album!
Road Apples - Good Album!
Fully Completely - The Best so Far (IMO)
Day for Night - Great Album!
Trouble at the Henhouse - I don't have it yet...but so far O.K. tunes.
Anything else?

The Hip in Canada have been as big in Canada as anybody ever
has here in the US (Stones, Bruce, U2, whatever).
That nobody has caught on to them in the US has been a real
mind-bender. All of their previous albums have been excellent.
They have had AOR hits over here - "New Orleans is Sinking" off
of UTH and "Courage" and "100th Meridian" off of Fully Completely.
Around the time of DFN, they started to make a more concerted
effort to get America hip to the Hip. Started touring more, went
on Saturday Night Live, etc. People discovered 'em and the new
album has benefitted.
A lot of folks from the Great White North lose out here (cries of
"The Hip found the US - it was nice knowing ya!" were heard in
alt.music.tragically-hip) as a major tour keeps 'em basically out
of Canada for like a year.
MUSIC.NOTE 541 has a lot more on the band.
I highly highly highly recommend "Day For Night" and "Road Apples."
These guys may not only be the best band of the 90's, they
are arguable the most intelligent. REM? Ugh - I don't see the
comparison to those whiners at all.
Btw, I unfortunately consider their newest album their weakest
to date.

You've gotta be in the mood for it, but its pretty good. I like the
fact that there are a bunch of long (7,8,12 mins) songs on it. Good
listening for the most part.
Doesn't rock out as much as his ArcAngels did, but I heard that egos
just got the best of that group and nobody could work together.

"Third Rock from the Sun" by Joe Diffie isn't a bad album, really.
I wouldn't say it's as good as the typical Garth Brooks album,
but it's not too far behind. A good mix of rockers and ballads,
and IMO worth sale price.

| No, as a matter of fact Alan Jackson is on the radio right now. I can't
speak for Ed, but I grew up on this $H*t. I love just about all
music-from death to clasical/boroque/romantic to jazz/blues. But what
I really hate the most is this poseur music that is out there. And it's
not just hevy metal, but there are many styles of music that rear
talentless musicians that produce garbage(which I can see the appeal in
much of it-nontheless garbage). But those clowns don't fool this
cowboy. I can hear trash a mile away.

I had last week off, and therefore plenty of time to listen to
all sorts of music. Not as much as I would have liked to hear,
but I did give my Realistic 900MHz wireless headphones a work-
out.
And, believe it or not, some of it was not HM. 8^)
These are a mix of Newbury Comics bargain bin purchases and
music club closeout deals.
"99 Luftballons" - Nena
Why did I buy this? I liked "99 Red Balloons" when
it came out back in the 80's, and all the compilat-
ions only seem to carry the German "99 Luftballons"
[I have 2 compilations with this version on it]. So
I had to buy the Nena album to get the English vers-
ion.
Overall, a VERY good album. Some rockin' stuff, and
the last 4 or so tracks are in German.
"All the Best" - Leo Sayer
Greatest hits [17 songs, I believe]. What can be said
about Leo but "he has a great voice and put out some
great music for his time". "Long Tall Glasses [I Can
Dance]" is the definitive highlight, and a close 2nd
is "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing". Also included are
"More than I Can Say" and others which you'd no doubt
recognize as songs you used to love and sing along
with [or not].
"From Time to Time" - Paul Young
Greatest hits - 16 [or so] songs. Another guy with
a great voice, most memorable for "Every Time You Go
Away", "Oh Girl", "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down"
and "Love of the Common People". DDD recording, and
it sounds very good.

Nena's was the cover wasn't it?
I seem to remember a couple of songs during that time that
made it so big in Europe (sung in German) that they were
covered in English over here - that one and Der Kommisar
by (God knows who anymore, but I own the EP for some bizarre
reason).

|
166.1243 | | BUSY::SLABOUNTY | Foreplay? What's that? | Tue Jun 25 1996 09:07 | 7 |

Nope, Nena did the 1 and only [as of then, anyways ... I'm sure
that someone has covered it by now]. Well, by "1 and only" I
mean that she did 1 song in 2 languages.
"Der Kommissar" was by After the Fire.

and played extensively in the us by Falco.

Falco did "Rock Me Amadeus", of course. Even that song grew on

But Murray Head's "One Night in Bangkok" never did. I think
I'll always hate that song.

No 'Last Dance' in sight for Donna Summer
By Steve Morse, Globe Staff, 08/01/96
Radical highs and lows are part of the pop game -
and Donna Summer has known both extremes. She's
been a disco diva and a soul queen, but also a
singer on the outside looking in. During her
two-decade career, she's had the joy of duet ing
with Barbra Streisand and Liza Minnelli, but also
the pain of making albums that whisked by without
much notice.
The Boston-bred Summer is a true survivor - and is
now bubbling up again. She scored a dance hit this
past year with ``Melody of Love.'' She wrote the
title track for Reba McEntire's latest album
(``Starting Over'') and is currently co-writing a
Broadway musical she plans to debut in 1997.
Summer says it's about ``the resilience of the
human soul'' - a phrase that uncannily applies to
her own life.
``I'm sort of like the eternal doer. I just keep
going,'' says Summer, who has a Boston homecoming
at Harborlights Pavilion tomorrow. ``I'm not a
person who runs after success, per se. Whatever
happens, happens. So many times you gear yourself
up for something and think, `Oh, this is it. This
is the big one.' And it fizzles ... and you sit
there disappointed. So you adjust yourself. You
wait until things happen, then you get excited.
That's my modus operandi.''
Summer is being modest, because her achievements
far outweigh her disappointments. She's had nearly
two dozen Top 40 hits starting with 1975's ``Love
to Love You Baby,'' moving through the disco years
with ``Hot Stuff,'' ``Bad Girls'' and ``Last
Dance,'' then later with ``She Works Hard for the
Money'' and ``This Time I Know It's for Real.''
She's experienced peaks and valleys, but doesn't
wallow in regrets. ``I don't think given the same
set of circumstances that I would have done
anything any differently,'' she says. ``You're
always subject to what you know at the time. So I
guess those things were destined to happen and
were part of the process I had to go through to be
here now.''
Recently, Summer enjoyed a high by teaming with
Liza Minnelli on ``Does He Love You,'' a
cheating-song duet that appears on Minnelli's new
``Gently'' album and was first made famous by Reba
McEntire and Linda Davis two years ago. ``The way
Liza and I did it was a little different,'' says
Summer. ``Liza is more of an actress, almost, than
a singer. And on the record, I think, that really
comes out. It's more of an acting piece than a
singing piece. That's how I viewed it the whole
time.''
It may or may not come out as a single. ``Well,
it's never been a pop hit. I think it was only a
country hit, right? Anything's possible. They've
been playing it in a couple of places around the
country, just off the album.''
Summer's main pursuit these days is her pending
Broadway musical being written with her husband,
Bruce Sudano, pop producer Michael Omartian and
two-time Oscar winner Al Kasha, who did ``The
Morning After'' and ``The Poseidon Adventure.''
``I view it as more of a classical form of
Broadway. It's not like `Rent' or anything like
that. It's not that trendy or hip. It's more in
the tradition of Broadway - more like `Sunset
Boulevard' or a `Phantom'-type musical. There's no
title for it yet, but it's about the pitfalls of
life and learning to move on. I can't say more
than that right now.''
Summer notes that she's had ``more offers to make
records this year than any year in the last 10
years, but I'm not really intending to do a pop
album until this [Broadway] album is done.''
In the meantime, she's pouring her energy into her
live act. ``I've been working fervently the last
three years to get my stage presence back up to
snuff,'' she says. ``I think this year's show is
light years better than the last.''
Now based in New York, Summer has come back to
Boston twice this year for family reasons - once
for her mother's funeral, then her grandfather's
funeral. ``Those aren't the reasons you want to go
back for,'' says Summer. ``It was hard.''
Summer grew up near Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in
Mission Hill and attended schools in Dorchester,
Brighton and Jamaica Plain, where in the ninth
grade she recalls taking a course in agriculture.
``It was the only school in the city to have a
course in agriculture and I used to love farming,
don't ask me why,'' she says. ``It's funny,
because I own a farm now. I have other houses too,
but I purchased a farm this summer. So that course
helped out. It didn't make me any less afraid of
snakes, but what the hey!''
This story ran on page e4 of the Boston Globe on
08/01/96.

Well, I did buy Pat Boone's "In a Metal Mood" the day it came out.
I had to, sort of. I was unexplainably compelled to do so.
It was "obvious" that this would not be a heavy album ... I'd have
bet much money that it would be orchestral in nature, even if I
didn't know anything about it. And it is.
If you're into big band and/or orchestral stuff, then you'll like
it. If you listen to it and compare the songs to the original
versions, you'll find that it's not that good. I played it once
all the way through, with my father's wife right beside me. When
it finished, I went and grabbed the originals of
"You've Got Another Thing Coming"
"It's a Long Way to the Top"
"Crazy Train"
and alternated between Pat/original to show her what the original
songs sounded like, since she'd never heard these 3 songs. Or if
she had, she wasn't very familiar with them. The main reason I
picked these 3 was that the contrast between Pat/original was the
greatest.
And what did she say? "I like the originals better." Not that
she didn't like the new versions, because she is a fan of that
stuff, but she thought that they sounded better in the genre for
which they were written.
There's a slew of musicians performing on this album, but I'll
give you the short list of hard/heavy musicians:
Dweezil Zappa
Ritchie Blackmore
Ronnie James Dio
Greg Bissonnette [I think]

| I have also heard about a (scandinavian) cello quartet, Apocalyptica, which
release a CD "Apocalyptica plays Metallica". The reviews were fine but I
haven't heard it.

| Cool! That's all me gots to say about Johnny Lang. "Lie to me" is a
great tune.
Has anyone seen this young pup live? What's his other stuff sound
like?

Just listened to "The Jerky Boys 3" almost twice, and it's not bad
at all. Not as good as the first, but definitely better than the
second.
Apparently they put a couple "for sale" ads in a local newspaper
so that they could record some calls TO them for a change, and it
worked out quite well.
I wonder how many calls they make that don't get included on the
albums ... IE, what's their success rate for successful crank
calls?

And, continuing with Comedy Week in the car, I also listened to:
"Let's Get Small"
"A Wild and Crazy Guy" - Steve Martin
This guy is a riot, simple as that.
"The Great White North" - Bob and Doug McKenzie
The album is basically ridiculous. Rick Moranis sit a-
round and talk about practically nothing for the entire
album. Included are "Take Off" [with Geddy Lee] and "The
Twelve Days of Christmas".
It is somewhat amusing, though, and worth maybe one lis-
ten, although I did give it two.
Next up will be the two Adam Sandler albums.

> "The Great White North" - Bob and Doug McKenzie
We LIVED off this album in college! You really have to be
into the whole schtick they did on SCTV (the best of the
late night SNL-type shows, imo) to appreciate this record.
Their movie "Strange Brew" is an all-out CLASSIC!

166.1312 | He's got some good tunes. | POLAR::TYSICK | Prying Open my Third Eye | Fri Apr 11 1997 08:23 | 13 |
| How is Mathew Sweet able to do it?
The guy releases about one song per album and I always end up
buyin' it! He's always got cool tunes.
So far I have, (I think) Son of Altered Beast which has Girlfriend
on it. The CD with Sick of Myself. And I'll end up snaggin' this new
one too, the one with "Where do you get love?".
Oh and let's not foget that cool "G-Force" cartoon type video for
"Girlfriend"...a classic.
