Subject:      Catch of the Day

I picked up Phish's _Junta_ yesterday. This was their first album which Elektra
has just rereleased. The back of the box showed two discs worth of titles, so I
was surprised when I opened the longbox to find only one jewel box. It turns
out that there is a new type of jewel box called a "brilliant box" which allows
you to store two discs inside a regular sized jewel box. Does anyone if you can
buy these separately as replacements? I'd like to pick up some of these to put
some of my other 2 disc sets in.

But anyways... This was a double album originally released in 1988. The reissue
contains three bonus tracks which weren't available on the original release.
The two discs weigh in at 60 minutes apeice, which is great considering I only
payed $17.95 for the set. The music is mostly stellar jazzy space jams which
are reminiscent of the best Dead jams with a little Santana thrown in for good
measure. The songs are also interspersed with wacky lyrics such as a chant of
"Boy, Man, God, Shit." Another tune tells of a love triangle between a weasel,
a monkey, and a woman that ends in tragedy.

The three bonus tracks were all recorded live. The last song, "Icculus" has
probably the funniest intro I've ever heard. I almost wet my pants I was
laughing so hard. I'd love to catch these guys live.

Most likely.  Just goes to show you that metal bands _can't spell_. ;)
[Actually, I suspect they changed the spelling for a different reason...

1) To keep in-the-know parents from spazzing when their kids buy it.
2) To avoid being sued by Mr. Lovecraft's estate.
3) To make it easier for "Hooked on Phonics" graduates to pronounce.

...or something like that. ;)]

Subject:      Blurbs

It has to be 'payola' to get the blurbs that some albums/artists receive
the one that killed me the most was Tinsley Ellis it said:
'Stands along side Johnny Winter and SRV and that ain't hype' the quote
was on the album and credited to Guitar World (which IMHO is useless anyway)
There's no way anyone could really feel that way, especially from T.E.'s
albums......It's payola right...........L.W.

Any recommendations on the new Neil Young album Harvest 2....?

Subject:      Husker Du & Birthday Guess

I seem to be the only person so far who's favorite Husker Du album is
"Flip Your Wig." The songs are all great on that one IMHO (see?? catchin'
on here!) and I still like to listen to "Divide and Conquer" some mornings
as I prepare to go forth and greet the world.

On the subject of Renato's age -- I would say that the fact that he has
chosen this particular point in time to start thinking about cataloging
his music collection is a major clue. My guess is that he is, like the
song says : "Thirty-nine and holding / On to anything I can"

As for the 78's & 45's -- my dad has all his 78's in these ancient booklike
holders (there's probably a name for them that I, as a junior archivist,
should know it but I don't). Each page is an envelope for one record, and
there are around 5 or 6 pages in each one.  I think I've seen them for sale
in sheet music stores. I'll ask around.  I see those sixties era plastic
carrying cases like I used to carry my ? and the Mysterians and Monkees 45's
to the school sock hops in (see? I'm gettin up there myself) around in thrift
and junk shops.  They might not fit in with your decor, though. Unless you have
a lot of lava lamps and posters and beaded curtains and things.

Oh well......happy happy birthday baby

>I like it? How do I get it? C'mon - give me the dirt, 'kay?

        First of all, thanks for asking. Hendrik Jan obviously sent his plug
to the list because he felt so *guilty* for the 10-page monster letter about
my music he sent me privately :)... well, don't care -- I and he know what I
am talking about.
        Thanks also for allowing me to use "loose, useless labels". I can't
tell you if you're gonna like it :), but I hope so -- and I can surely tell
you that *everyone* has liked it so far because it's a CD which tries to cross
many different music borderlines.
        In this sense, I would like to quote a few lines that were written
by other people than me about "The Chessboard" (oh yes, this is the title of
the CD, and the name of the band is TNR, for _The Noisy Room_).
        Unfortunately, I am sure that if I did so some Mike t.l.g. would soon
grow quite bored of my long postings (one Bloom a day's enough to keep your
work away 8-) ), so I'll forward the bunch of collected reviews privately,
mostly because they were already sent to the list some time ago. And, also,
Mike still owes me his review, by the way... :)
        As for the "how do I get it" section, here it comes. Choose the like
you prefer out of three:

# 1) SEND ORDINARY MAIL TO:

#       1 408 255-6077
#
# 3) SEND E-MAIL TO PROGTRON AT:
#
#       ranjit@synopsys.com

        Ask for "The Chessboard", by TNR. I feel I have to take a chance
to publicly thank Ranjit at PROGTRON for his excellent service, too.
        This is mostly useful inside USA and CANADA, which is your case.
Europeans can rely on the powerful means of TNR and related distributors
as MUSEA (France).

        Hope this is enough!

Last one of the day -- promise!  There's currently *only* one Tower store
in the city (cause I called to confirm it), and it's located at 2301 N. Clark
(on the north side), tel. 312-477-5994.  Have been there several times, and
it's worth the trip: very big, well-organized and stocked, and I've usually
found what I'm looking for.  Now, run off this note and/or save it because
it's the last such query I answer -- unless, of course, you're willing to do
something *really* special for me in return.

BTW, the maxi-single CD (27 minutes or some such) of "Another Rainy
Night" has "Suite Sister Mary" and "Eyes of a Stranger" from
_Livecrime_ and also has "Last Time in Paris" from the soundtrack
of _Ford Fairlane_.  I hadn't heard "Paris" before.  It's kind
of a 60s Queensryche sound, if you can imagine that!  Cool stuff.
We also picked that up this weekend and filled out the _Mindcrime_
tape with it.  We definitely don't mind hearing "SSM" and "EoaS"
a second time.  Like I said, stone fans.

Subject:      Cataloguing the record collection

As I lurch forward toward the rest of my life, I've decided to establish some g
oals and priorities.  Among the most important is organizing my collection, and
 doing so in my lifetime!  You see, I started to do so -- in my own inimitable
archivist/historian/antiquarian manner -- some two yrs. ago but only got as far
 as the first 2,600 albums. (BTW, this was not what I like to label the main/pr
imary collection but the secondary/peripheral stuff.)  The cataloguing process
is now on hold because of numerous other pressing commitments. (Understatement)

Who has first-hand experience with computer software that would facilitate my t
ask (when I get around to doing the really important stuff)?  Anybody have a fa
vorite program/system that they could suggest?  You see, I was organizing my re
cords thru/in the mainframe computer, and now realize that I'd be better served
 by having the collection on diskettes (and so forth).  I know that I can downl
oad from the mainframe at any time, but this seems cumbersome.  If it matters,
and I suppose it does, I'd be using the program on a Northgate SlimLine.

Help! S.O.S!

P.S.  I'm not even going to tell all of you how the records are physically
distributed.  Let's just say that the collector's wife has threatened with mass
disposal and/or eviction.  So far, though, it's a standoff.  And, finally, how
do the rest of you deal with 45s and 78s?

No, that's the soprano solo - I love that one, but I aint got the high
