I tip my invisible hat.> So Megan, Todd figured out exactly what? Have you pieced this together yet? Any one care to take a stab at *who* Chauncy Gardner was/is? ---- To Harrison: What exactly is a Korean Cheeseball? Your use of it in your recent post was cleverly stated, not to mention that since I have no idea what it was, I still had to laugh... ----- I have a another question: Which of the following choices would you prefer to hear/ see happen...along the XTC v. Elvis Costello thread: A) A song written by Elvis for XTC to play/record...or, B) A song written by Andy for Elvis Cos and the Attractions to play/record? ---- I saw an interesting News spot on *Y1K* and how the individuals living at the turn of the Century from 999 reacted to the New Year, etc..and I specifically recall Mt. Vesuvious (sp) erupting like three times in the last decade and a half...and other matters, but the point of view of the piece had a conditioned response in that people probably weren't as bent out of shape as the public today are about *Y2K*...just an interesting piece by Peter Jennings on World News Tonight, Monday, December 6, 1999 (ABC). ---- As for Terry C. on AV2? That would be quite cool to hear. I too am interested in learning who will be on the kit for this album.... RE: TBE: The Big Express album would probably be a vastly different album, than it is in its' current form, if Terry C. or anyone else was playing acoustic drums on it. I like this album a lot, but was shocked, like many of you who read the XTC Autobiography, and other literature, to learn that the Linn Drum was employed in this album. Right-o, over and out! Cheers!

I can't work in these conditions... From: "Duncan Watt" <dwatt@fastestmanintheworld.com> Todd "Big Money" Bernhardt signed off: > --Todd "When's that Jon Brion album coming out?" Bernhardt Well, it kinda...didn't. According to Time Magazine, Lava/Atlantic "decided the CD wasn't sufficiently marketable and never released it". In a brilliant twist of irony, Brion, in the next sentence, decried the shelving with this mis-handled riposte: "I was treated as if I had handed in my 'art record', as if I had intentionally done some horribly self-destructive thing... I thought I handed in something that was reasonably commercial". Now thoses of youse who know me know where I'm going with this, so I'll keep it simple: Brion's comment puts together perfectly, in one quick, succinct thought-package, the entire concept of what's wrong with the music industry. I don't even know which end to start eating it from, it's so perfectly circular and delicious... "I was treated..."..."I thought..."... yeah! Anyway, if you're really into the whole stick-a-Mellotron-on-it-and-they'll-think-it-sounds-like-"Strawberry Fields" thing, he just did the instrumental music for the movie "Magnolia"(okay, that's not fair, I haven't heard it. Still, bet I'm right). More importantly, Aimee Mann's songs provide the soundtrack, and, to be honest, I personally think that Brion's cartoony productions have been the very reason for Mann's relative invisibility in the music world. Let him stay with Fiona Appel, she's already cartoon-y herself. Mann's a phenomenal songwriter, even if she's not a Chalkhills darling. Too bad she's been forced to release her own material herself; maybe that'll make for better music. How does that bromide go? "Life's too short for a day without good food and good music", right? My New Year's resolution: to go out and get more of the CD's that people recommend that I get. Looking back, that's how I've found most of my favorites, not by reading reviews. Fredo Fat Bassman's list is inspiring. I've only got myself to blame. Duncan "Listen, the record would be great if she'd just lose 15 pounds" Watt

In the past few years, I've tried to initiate a collaboration between Andy Partridge and Elvis Costello. I cornered Elvis with the idea after a show in Detroit and he seemed quite receptive. I then forwarded Elvis' "enthusiasm" when the Little Express offered fans the chance to submit questions to Andy. In the next Little Express, Andy answered that he would enjoy working with Elvis. So I had successfully planted the seeds in both heads and could stand back and watch for growth. Of course, nothing has happened... but I'm still hopeful. It's not like I put my life on hold or anything... While waiting last month, I went to see Joe Jackson read from his new book. He read a couple very amusing stories about his early struggles trying to break into the biz. It was very entertaining! If you have a chance to go see him in your area, I recommend you do so! Anyway, after the reading, he held a Q&A session. Someone asked about his favorite lyricists and Joe mentioned that he is very much a music-centered, not lyric-centered listener... but his favorite lyricist is Andy Partridge. After praising Andy's cleverness for quite some time, he also mentioned Elvis Costello as being brilliant "though occasionally his lyrics feel like verbal diarrhea." Uggghh, not a pleasant image... Later, Joe again mentioned that music is the important thing to him and he struggles with lyric writing. He's enjoyed doing his recent instrumental projects so much partly because song lyrics do not come easy for him. I felt a question coming on, some of you can probably guess... I raised my hand and kind of startled Joe -- I was sitting literally at his feet and I don't think he noticed my close proximity until I raised my hand! I asked: "Given your struggles with lyric writing and your admiration for Andy Partridge's lyrics, is there a chance of a collaboration there?" A big smile came across his face and he paused. It was obvious he was really considering it -- a very cool moment! He first said: "Wow, now there's an idea! Yeah, that could be good! Andy knows where I am and how to get a hold of me! " but as he continued he kind of talked himself out of it, mentioning that neither he nor Andy do much collaborating and that it's probably best for him (Joe) to keep working on his own, as he always has. Ah well, I tried! I had read that Joe dreads comparisons to Elvis and there was some rivalry there in the early days. So I cringed when someone asked what he thinks of Elvis Costello and if they're friends. But it turned out to be the highlight of the evening. Joe said that they have a "mutual respect" and then recounted a wonderful story. On one tour through Australia, he and Elvis happened to be playing the same city and in fact, staying in the same hotel one night. So Joe sent Elvis a bottle of champagne. A little later, back came an even bigger, more expensive bottle of champagne from Elvis. So Joe then sent a tiny bottle of liquor and a bag of potato chips. Elvis sent back a scribbled drawing of a liquor bottle -- and back and forth it went all night! It was hilarious the way Joe told it (quite unlike the way I just described it!). Anyway, it was a fun evening. He autographed "Symphony No. 1" for me and I now have autographed CDs from my holy musical trinity: Elvis, Andy, and Joe. They are separate but equally and uniquely brilliant musicians. Praises be! --Jasper... who loves "Laughter & Lust" and thinks it's Joe's best work since "Beat Crazy". BTW, Joe mentioned "Blaze of Glory" as the album he is most proud of....

From that point on the songs changed, not just because the members got older, or because Terry wasn't there, etc., but because of the lack of touring. All the songs on the first five albums were written with an audience in mind. It's one thing to make a song thinking "OK, the audience will be in front of the stage, what will really get them?", and quite another to make a song only to be listened to on an album, never (practically) to be played live...."OK, ther person will be sprawled on a carpet with headphones on....". It is this difference, rather than the abscence of Terry, that draws the line between the early and the late XTC. I have a friend who LOVES Black Sea and the albums before, but HATES "all that Oranges and Lemons stuff", as he says. IMO, the focus shifted from intensity and energy to soaring and exploring. Personally I like both phases. And as far as Ringo's drumming goes, I love it. But I beg to differ with the author of "The vast majority of Beatles tunes are spot on." This is simply not true. In reality most Beatle songs do not hold a consistent tempo. This is why they sound so alive. I know thist because I'm in a Beatle tribute band called the Daytrippers. We have recorded many Beatle songs. At first we tried to perform our part along with Beatle tracks as a guide. The wild tempo changes made this impossible. Most music now is made with a click track, and we ended up doing that. While this keeps things nicely on tempo, it takes away some of the personality. Paul McCartney has said that they didn't mind so much if they speeded up or slowed down, so long as they all went together (and they usually did). Beatle tracks often started with them playing a basic rhythm track together, eyeball to eyeball. I wonder at what point XTC started using a click to record to....anyone know? Thanks Megan, for your refreshing voice, and for confirming that a baker's dozen has 13. I'm still new here, and I'd like to be able to talk about things that have been talked about before. Sorry if ya'll made your top ten of the decade already. Though I might point out the the decade isn't *quite* over yet. fave xtc moment: The start of extrovert. In fact, the very start of almost every xtc song is interesting or fab in some way, but that one is particularly exciting. I also like when the nature sounds come in at the end of Grass, reminding me: "oh yeah, summer's cauldon!" At the chalkhillennium >I'm curious to know >what you Chalkies are going to be doing that night. I'll spend the day outside if the weather's good, boating or surfing. I'll also check out how you're all doing on the TV (In Hawaii we are the last to "get" the new year, so we can watch celebrations or the end of the world, as the case may be, before we get to new year's eve). Ah, but that's when the trouble starts. Perhaps you don't know about new year's in Hawaii? It is insane. It is firecracker hell. A tradition from China, this year is sure to be the biggest, loudest, smokiest war dance ever. Our party will be up on a hill, away from the worst of it. Then wife and I and our 2 kids will go to a dinner party at a friend's house, get drunk and sing songs thru midnight. I wouldn't be away from my children for this moment, no way. And I'd never go in for that Vegas strip/top of the pyramids insanity, either. I'll bring my guitar, and they have a fab piano. Might even play an xtc song, since I've learned Merely a Man for the upcoming O and L tribute tape. Finally, I'd like to say how much I miss Ian's outlaw web site. No more XTC coming out of my computer during breaks at work. Sigh. It worked for me at the original host....any chance of going back to that one, or finding another, till you're blacklisted from them all? Just kidding or just checking, I'm not sure which. Jim

I'm sorry, I misphrased that. I ment that the last song on the album should
have been Rook. Meaning, take it out from the middle, and put it after Books
Are Burning.

I don't know if anyone else caught this, but I saw a webcast tonight (Thursday 19:00 EDT) starring our cheerful Oxford gents which (so far) has consisted of them dancing around, drinking bevvies, and spinning some discs. It's been an eclectic mix: The Fall, Miles Davis, PJ Harvey, Talking Heads, Johnny Cash, lots of techno (or whatever), the Monster Mash and....... .....OMIGOD.....THE DUKES!!! Yes, their ace guitar player Jonny Greenwood saw fit to slap on "What in the World" (say what you may, and you will, it's my favourite Colin, er, Red song). Listening to it in this context suggested to me that Mr. Greenwood wasn't just listening to the Floyd's Meddle when he was constructing the groovy/wacky/oh-my-god-it's-full-of-stars guitar parts for OK Computer. Which conveniently leads me to proclaim the aforementioned bummer-epic my #1 album of the decade. The rest of my baker's dozen (caress me if I'm wrong you crazy Diamond): 10. Nevermind - Nirvana (Well, you sort of HAVE to) 9. Post - Bjork 8. Superunknown - Soundgarden 7. I Should Coco - Supergrass 6. Last Splash - The Breeders 5. Nonesuch - XTC 4. Parklife - Blur 3. Different Class - Pulp 2. Automatic for the People - REM Yes, no AV1 (why must we call it that? It sounds like a Microsoft product, or a Roland Emmerich movie), but bear in mind that it took me the better part of two decades to accept TBE and the jury is STILL out on Mummer. Quel dommage!

If you gave me five more minutes , I could think of many more. 1. ALL of Helicopter. Every instrument sounds like its spinning. The synthesizer interwoven throughout the song.It helps to have seen them do it live. 2. The last 15 seconds of "Are you Receiving Me". 3."

Date: Fri, 10 Dec 1999 00:55:04 CST okay, tragedy for me. I was listening to my 3" disc "Mayor of Simpleton" single this evening, for the first time in ages, and it started skipping uncontrolably near the end of "Living in a Haunted Heart". I checked the disc, and found that where the paper-cardboard packaging had given way (those of you with the single know-- the little cardboard square), the disc sat against the glue spot and now is basically screwed up-- "The Good Things" won't play at all, in addition to the problem with the last 1/4 of "Heart". Does anyone know how to clean a compact disc with this kind of damage safely? I think it could maybe be saved, but I'd like some advice before I start experimenting. Not only are those two tracks two of my favorite XTC songs, but this was the first XTC item I bought on CD! thanks, megan.

A Documentary Film" (directed by Ric Burns), the mellow and dreamy strains of "Frost Circus" can be heard as the narrative inexorably moves towards the metropolis' continuing transformations, as the end of the nineteenth-century draws nearer. Very neat, except for the disappointment of not seeing XTC or Andy Partridge acknowledged in the end credits... Anybody has a thought on the why of that omission ?" I think this question has come up before, but I don't remember if we ever saw the answer: TV and radio productions in the USA operate under what is called the "Fair Use Doctrine," an edict by the Federal Communications Commission which allows producers to make use of pre-existing music in material meant for dissemination over the airwaves. This is why you can hear familiar records in the background of dramas, watch sitcom characters hum a few bars of a well-known tune, or listen to an unlimited number of singles on the radio without credit being given to the originators of the song. (Remember the "If You Play It, Say It" campaign a few years back, when many radio stations were playing songs without ID tags? For all I know, that's still happening; I don't listen to much commercial radio these days.) There's nothing to prevent the producers from listing credits, but they are not required to do so. Incidentally, the same does NOT apply to feature films, which are not under the aegis of the FCC. Any song used in any movie must have its composer, publisher and performer(s) noted in the credit roll, in accordance with long-standing contract agreements with musician unions and publishing companies. Unable to think of an appropriate XTC lyric to close with, Drew

There are three chalkhillers who contributed tracks to the project. The project's title is derived from Jim Smart's Kink-ish The Other Side. I really love Jim's 60s psychedelic instrumentation and the lyrics are top notch. None other than Mitch Friedman supplies the hilarious When I Was Your Age, a zappa-esque tour of the upcoming 21st century. Can you hear the buzz from zuzz? The CD kicks off with Eric Hesson's vibrant What Does Millennium Mean?, another Brit invasion styled guitar pop gem. Also included are tracks from the great (according to him) Moogy Klingman (original TRs Utopia member), current Rundgren band member John Ferenzik, and two from popmeister Doug Powell. Special mention goes to Japanese recording artist Hiroshi Takano, who has contributed his international debut recording! Hiroshi is a big XTC fan, in fact he summoned the production talents of TR after hearing Skylarking, and is presently touring with R Sakamoto. It is a true honor to have Hiroshi represented on the project! There are fifteen tracks in all, about half dealing with the Y2K theme, the rest ruminating on the current human condition. I believe and hope that the CD is one that will reamin fresh beyond the turn of the century. Hell, I almost forgot to mention Becki DiGregorio's track taken from her recent CD, One In Ten! Yeah, it's on there too, and thank God for it, 'cause it helps to soothe the damage after Ferenzik's carnage.... if interested, go the below link and then click Medicine Park Recordings. Or you can probably acquire an autographed copy from any of the mentioned chalkhillers. Happy Holidays! Catch ya on the otrher side.... toby thomas www.silvermoonmusic.com
