166.1too many to listPOWER::STARRaka HAZEL::STARRThu Jul 28 1988 18:2918
    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...

166.3Gotta have some variety!SYSENG::MCLAUGHLINThu Jul 28 1988 18:4218
    
    The list is endless, but here are a few:
    
    Jeff Beck                   The Who
    The Allman Bros.            The Stones
    Al DiMeola                  Johnny Winter
    Eric Clapton                The Mahavishnu Orchestra
    B.B. King                   Lynyrnd Skynard

    CCR                         
    
    That's my favorites off the top of my head.  There's a lot of great
    music out there that isn't heavy metal.

    	Non-Metal talk in this conference?  Absurd!

166.15WAY too many to listCSC32::G_HOUSEWhat you ask that for, you a spy?Thu Jul 28 1988 20:3118
    Just a few from memory:
    
    Jeff Beck			King Crimson (both new and old)
    Hendrix			Tchaikovsky 
    Cream/Eric Clapton		JS Bach
    Bob Marley			Many other classical
    Yes				Rolling Stones
    BOC (not metal IMO)		Allman Bros
    Emerson, Lake, & Palmer	Prince
    Genesis (only the OLD stuff, pre '77)
    Police			Larry Carlton (utterly amazing!)
    George Thoroughgood [sic]	Alan Holdsworth
    				Yellow Jackets
    
    That's enough, the list would be HUGE.  I'm with JC in the "just
    about anything but country and sleezy listening" group.

166.16In defence of this noteCSC32::G_HOUSEWhat you ask that for, you a spy?Thu Jul 28 1988 21:0920
    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!
    
    				Scott.
    
166.30STYXPOWER::STARRaka HAZEL::STARRFri Jul 29 1988 17:3514
    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!

        I heard that song '2 of Hearts' by Stacie Q. - that's quite
        the rockin' dance track!!  I like it.
    
        I also like:
    
        Shannon ... Let the Music Play
        Samantha Fox ... Naughty Girls Need Love Too
        Peter Gabriel ... Big Time
        Robert Palmer ... Simply Irresistable
        Honeymoon Suite ... Love Changes Everything
    
        and many more - but these are the ones that stand out (probably
        because they're still fairly new and are played alot).

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.

    had interesting songs!  I particularly like stuff like "Roxanne",
    "Walking on the Moon", the older material.  I dislike Synchronicity,

    B52s are hot!  What I've heard of the new one is very good.  Compares
    very well with the older material which impresses me, as groups that
    have "come-back" albums after a long time off often produce
    sub-standard material.

Well, I also like many non heavy metal bands (while heavy remains
first).

	Santana		- Abraxas what a classic !
	Beatles		- the most ingenious creators in rock, their
			  Helter Skelter is also one of the first HM songs
	Rolling Stones	- Brown Sugar ..
	Pink Floyd
	REO Speedwagon
	Steely Dan
	10CC
	King Crimson	- OLD and new
	Return to Forever & Chick Corea
	Michael Jackson for Dirty Diana and some of the Thriller LP (Beat it)
	Black		- Wonderful life
	All good reggae bands and singers (not disco)
	Bee Gees	- old songs
	Queen
	Ramones		- all
	ELO		- all
	Talk, Talk	- the last two LPs
	Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and many other classics
	Zamfir		- pan flute
	All old rock and love songs
	and many others ..

166.182Favorite non-HM album ?THAV07::NAGAHASHIKazunari Nagahashi SWS/DEC-JapanTue Dec 05 1989 03:0721
        Well, I always wanted to know this :
        	
        	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:

re: Del Fuegos

"Move With Me Sister" is on their new album 'Smoking in the Fields', which has 
been out for about 2 months now. Magic Dick from the J. Geils Band plays the 
harmonica on that song, and the rest of the album.

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
    "She Keeps No Secrets" back in 1982!  We also did another song by
    them: "Marsailles". I remember the drummer singing the French even
    though he had no idea what he was saying!

It's a French town. I think it is the second largest city, it's located in
the south, and it's an harbor on the mediteranean sea.

I really don't know why they did pick up that name and what the song is about.

	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.

    I don't choose to question anything they may have to say about

    This is a question for American and non U.K readers...
    
    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.

Dred Zeppelin has been kicking around for over a year now. I heard about them 
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
Elvis Presley impersonator!

So you have a Elvis doing reggae versions of Zeppelin songs. Too weird!!!!!

    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.

	There is no sense creating a new note in this conference for

	"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

	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!

	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.)

    	fan.
    
    	tigg~~~ who thinks his remake of "Play that Funky Music..."

166.362MILKWY::SLABOUNTYDon't get even ... get odd!!Tue Jan 22 1991 16:3235
    
    	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".

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.

    	be playing their song, and I believe the title is "I'm Your Man"

    "Bo" had a pretty sizable hit in 1987 -- "When the Right One Comes 
    Along"... too bad he fizzled after that, the album was actually 
    quite good.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    years ago and had actually broken up by the time the movie came out.
    With the extreme success of the song, they decided to get together

Disco will never even rate as good as SUCKS as far as I'm concerned.  I had
friends who thought it was cool to go to clubs with lousy sound systems that
thumped through the walls.

This place had a decent sound system then sold it and bought a thumpier one. 
They started out with Altec Voice of the Theaters and Crown amps.

    lot of good work in the disco genre.
    
    Thus, I can say "I like disco" but moreso than other kinds of music,

Zodiac wrote "Feed My Frankenstein" for Alice Cooper! And yes, live they are LOUD.
I saw them a couple a years ago and they really kicked ass.

The "Tattoed Beat Messiah" album is their best, apart from that I think they
only have some singles and an early EP worth listening to.

    Geez, if you really like Bruce Kulick (and I don't) you might want to
    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.

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

    	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.

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???

166.831How I gave country the bootDREGS::BLICKSTEINThere can be only oneMon Mar 27 1995 19:2225
    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.

    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.

Yup, some of the stereo MCs stuff is OK.

re Ace of Base

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
This band is a laughing stock in the British music press.  They still sell some 
records here, but people have realised that they only appear to have one song.
Appalling and unoriginal.  I'm not surprised they're doing well in the country 
that gave us Michael Bolton and Richard Marx.

    years ago?

It was the butchers of pop-music, "Undercover".  They're bloody awful.  They 
took a load of "classic" songs, and did cover versions of them on their casio 
keyboards.  Horrendous, but strangely popular with the kiddies.  <spit>

    be as awful as that "Boy Meets Girl" medley "Freebird/Baby I Love Your

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).

    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".

re .914

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.

    	I have "Crazy in the Night", which is kind of a greatest hits CD
    	but not quite.  No "Bette Davis Eyes" and a couple others are
    	missing.
    
    	But "Voyeur", "Draw of the Cards" and "Cry Like a Baby" ARE on	
    	it, so it's not a total waste.

    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

166.980Here is the Blind Melon/DT textPOWDML::BUCKLEYgive em the boot!Fri Aug 18 1995 12:0546
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

    the readership of the magazine?

    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.

    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.
    
166.990MKOTS3::GRENIERMon Aug 21 1995 13:1411
    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.

                      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

    	there's 4 or 5 others that are really good, and funny [like

    	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.

    	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

    	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,

    I've got "The Full Custom Gospel Sounds of the
    Reverand Horton Heat" and "Liquor in The Front
    [Poker in the Rear]" and highly recommend both.
    
    Kind of like turbocharged rock-a-billy.  George

    	"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.
    	8^)
    
    	"Josie and the Pussycats" - [?] - quite faithful to the original
    
    	"Gigaloo" [or something like that] - Collective Soul

    them still! I was on a Ponty/Gyra/Lorber/Weather/Romantic kick back

    	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.

166.1129BUSY::SLABOUNTYDon't like my p_n? 1-800-328-7448Wed Mar 13 1996 16:5193
                      "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.

    	After 1 listen, I'm not all that impressed.  I'll have to give

    	"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^)

    That CD absoulutely rocks right out.  How can you have some
    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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Comments:
        Not a bad album overall, but not great either.  This disc tries
to hard to be a serious discussion of the early eighties music scene and
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.

Comments:
        Definately a must buy, this is one of the few compilations to have
Frank & Moon Zappa's "Valley Girl" on it.  There's also a good selection
of popular tunes on here mixed with less popular, let memorable songs.

Comments:
        This CD lacks consistency between songs, and also lacks a lot of
popular songs.  Instead you get a lot of groups that were barely even
known when they were being played on the radio mixed in with a few one hit
wonders.

Comments:
        Another disc that has very little to offer, all these songs
can be found on better compilations.  This particular disc is barely
even listenable.  Unless you want to own the whole Rhino New Wave series,
pass it over.

Comments:
        This disc has a lot of popular songs and songs that you will most
likely remember upon hearing.  Most of these songs are found on other
compilations however, so if you already own a lot of eighties compilations,
you might wish to pass this one over.

hardly ever on compilations, but overall this disc has few songs that are
must have songs.

Comments:
        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
Sleep" should all be easily recognized when you heat them.  The order of
songs on this CD are also very well laid out.

Comments:
        Yes, that's the same Tracy Ullman from TV.  This disc does have
a lot of songs by groups that were famous for songs other than the ones
here, but overall they're songs you shouldn't miss.

Comments:
        While there is some filler interspersed throughout this disc,
overall the disc stands up pretty will to repeated listenings.  The
songs by the easily recognized groups were all minor hits, but still
faired rather well on the charts and should be easily recognized.

Comments:
        This disc starts off strong and then falters towards the end with
songs that weren't all that great.  If you liked "One Night In Bangkok"
then you'll be happy to own it on a compilation with this disc, most of
the other songs are available on other compilations though.

and makes up for the lesser known groups.

The title alone should be considered fair warning about the contents
166.1148BUSY::SLABOUNTYAs you wishThu Mar 28 1996 12:597
    
    	There are 3 more "Have a Nice Day" [70's] albums in the set now,
    	making 25 total.
    
    	And Newbury Comics lists a Bonnie Tyler album called "Free Spir-
    	it".  Is this new, or a re-issue?
    
166.1149Oh, and have a nice day. 8^)BUSY::SLABOUNTYAs you wishThu Mar 28 1996 13:003

    	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.
    
166.1151BUSY::SLABOUNTYGreat baby! Delicious!!Mon Apr 08 1996 20:3016
    
    	Has anyone noticed all the soundtrack work that Mark Mothers-
    	baugh is getting these days?
    
    	Strange Luck
    
    	[some Saturday night kid's show that I'd recognize the name of
    	 if I saw it]
    
    	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...

    re: -1
    
    That must be off a cd prior to kerosene hat correct? Anyone have their
    newest one with "I hate myself" or whatever it is titled? How is it? I
    liked Kerosene Hat myself, along with Radioheads release with "Creep".
    I like the uncut version personally!!

    "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.

    Bryan Adams, Blackfoot, Big Country, Gary Moore .....The list goes on.
    
    Speaking of Gary Moore...I wonder if he'll ever get outta the Blues
    stuff and go back to his Rock n' Roll style. ( Which I definitely
                                                     prefer. )

    	So the other day I'm looking through my vinyl, and happen to
    	check out a couple April Wine albums and associated credits.

    	A 17-year old violinist from London [born in Singapore] who
    	plays all kinds of musical styles ... classical to pop to

    	amazing.
    
    	I happened to catch a 1-hour show of hers on The Disney

    	A couple Paganini pieces
    	"Classical Gas"
    	"Cotton-Eye Joe" [Rednex song!!]
    	"Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor" [I believe]

    crazy about seeing her performed rocked-up versions of great classics
    in a skimpy girlie-doll dress, especially considering her age.

    	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

    	How does Joan Osborne compare to Tracy Bonham?  Or does she?

8tracks suck.  They stretch and become all warbly when you play them too much.

                          some really major grooves
    
      Chambers Brothers - "Time Has Come Today"
    
      and of course, the inimitable Barry White.

    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

    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.

    	"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).
    
    - Sean
166.1243BUSY::SLABOUNTYForeplay? What's that?Tue Jun 25 1996 12:077
    
    	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.

     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]

    		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.

    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!

    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.
