Larry Mullen, the basketball player who used to play for Boston before he
was traded to Golden State?  He plays the congas too?  He must have really
tall conga stands.

I didn't lump the Moog in with the keyboards, as playing it is more a matter
of wiring and such than it is really keyboard playing.  At least the way that
Michael Bolton plays it!

Yes, they were pretty good in Princeton, although they did a mega-long 
version of "Revolution" as their last song.  I left after it had gone 
on for half an hour or so of it.  

I spoke to the drummer, and if I remember rightly, he said that they 
were in America for 10 days, playing about 6 gigs.  They were in 
Maxwells in Hoboken on Sunday 8 Nov.  My guess is that they are back 
in the UK by this time.

It was a low tech sort of thing.  Apparently Spritualised were much 
more performance oriented, with a great light show, on the 
Rollercoaster tour.

Yes, Husker Du had a strong influence on Pixies (their ad to find a bassist
read something like "...influences: Husker Du and Peter, Paul, and Mary".),
but I read somewhere that that particular Bob Mould song indeed >WAS< a 
tribute to Pixies.  The story goes something like Bob was off in some foreign
land and Pixies sent him a copy of "Trompe Le Monde" to listen to.

	I believe the band you are refering to is 'Rise Robots Rise'.  They
are indeed signed with TVT.  They are an eleven or twelve-member band; their
music is quite unique, because they combine hip-hop, metal, soul, jazz, and 
just about every other flavor of music.  I saw their debut at the Limelight
in NYC back during the 1991 College Media Journal (CMJ) Music Marathon. They
were absolutely incredible live.  I can get you more info on them if you'd
like.

Don't know about the Pogues, but apparently Elvis is recording (or has
recorded) a new album for release in a few months. 

It's got heavy string arrangements and looks like it pretty different from his
older stuff.  I forget the name of the string group he was working with, but
the name was a fairly well-known one, methinks.

This is a typical strategy by large corporations to shut people up --
even if it loses its suit, large corporation can absorb the loss of

The Dogsmen are awesome! Don't be surprised if you start hearing of them in
the next year or so. They're a three-member band with an idiosyncratic
(maybe Pixies-like) style and outrageous lyrics. "The Nose" is one of the
most playful songs I've heard in a long time. The female bassist belts out
this Gogolian accusation that someone else is her nose, then in the last
verse becomes the nose and decides to climb on someone's face. I want more
of this stuff!!!

Santiago also had a hand in `Arsenal', along with the bass player from

"Factory Smog Is A Sign Of Progress". I'd highly recommend the latter.

Well, yeah, I have two 7"s of theirs and a 12".  All are good

In reply to the most recent stab at Soundgarden...

S.M Jones was telling us all that the Soundgarden troop would bow before the
guitar mastery of Greg Ginn...I offer that no one in Soundgarden ever claimed
to be any sort of guitar master..ever.

Actually...guitar heros are really nothing more than one trick ponies anyway
The trick is to make music not just build a song around a solo...So masters
like Satriani and Stu Hamm aren't really giving you any sort of music...
just some sort of masturbatory solo..(though some of them of course are
great to listen to)...But Soundgarden (or Soundgarbage as my roommate calls
them) never tried to be guitar heros/"masters"...what they do is play that
fat, chunky Black Sabbath sorta stuff..and they do it quite well...

I guess I have been wearing a nice vivid shade of defensiveness
recently, huh? I guess I'm just sick of (1) hearing people malign some
of my favorite music because it's gotten big, (2) and assuming I'm a big
trendy "grunge" head simply because I wear longjohns and flannel shirts.

Also, did anyone see the N Y Times article Monday about how fashion
designer Marc Jacobs has been dubbed the "guru of grunge" because he
tied "flannel" shirts (well, they were really silk, but they supposedly
looked and felt a lot like flannel)around his models' waists and
actually paid hair stylists to make the models' hair look greasy? Also,
he designed some leather coats to look like they were really old fake
leather.

Aren't fashion designers supposed to think up cool NEW stuff? Or am I
just horribly naive?
