Subject:      Re: Cataloguing the record collection

 Renato -
     I use a dedicated software package designed for a music library.  I
 don't have the name & address at my fingertips, but they are located in
 one of the towns on Long Island, near New York.  (As I recall, you're
 someplace foreign, aren't you?).
     My collection is nowhere near as large as yours (I have some 275
 tapes), but it does a nice job, right down to printing catalog cards, if
 you can handle form-feed index cards.

 Cheers,
  Randy

 P.S.  I'm Marsha's a cappella partner-in-crime, but since we have
 basically the same collection, I won't offer you any of my stuff - she has
 everything I do.

>e worth grabbing.  But Ono is a palindrome.

Well, it's not really the type of song that's supposed to grab ya...Basically
just a fun little ditty with an infectious catchy tune. Don't sell them short
though...These guys have real talent. The lead singer has a wonderful voice
honed in church choirs and they have a knack for writing lyrics.

I guess I'm a little biased...The first time I heard of them was on a TV show
called "Speaker's Corner". A video booth is made available to the public and
for a buck you can say or do anything you want for 2 minutes (vent your spleen
on politics, tell jokes, proclaim your love,...). The best stuff is put
together as a half-hour show. So these 5 guys cram into the booth with an
acoustic guitar and play "Be My Yoko Ono", complete with patty-cake hand
slapping as rhythm. It was so popular that Muchmusic began to show it (better
than most of today's videos...).

They were also banned from appearing at a New Year's Eve show outside Toronto
City Hall because the city council found their name to be "objectionable" and
"could offend some women". After we all had a good laugh over that and Toronto
once again proved how anal-retentive they really can be, BNL suddenly had
national exposure.

Sonia, glad you like the tape so far. Don't know much more about the Skydiggers
than what I've told you, but I'll try to investigate a bit more. I'm hoping
your blues tapes are sitting in my mailbox as we speak (Pleeeeez!). Hey, if I
had known you were a rockin' AC/DC kinda chick, I'd have thrown in some serious
heavy tunage!! If you're looking for albums by Angus, Malcolm and the boys I'd
recommend _Back In Black_, _Highway To Hell_ and _Let There Be Rock_ as their
best...

Later,

Yep, they're Seattlites.

Uh, not sure but I think Jane's Addiction came out of California.

Others you might want to add are Smashing Pumpkins and Mudhoney. Tons of other
burgeoning bands. The main reason Seattle is getting so much attention is that
all the record companies are looking for the next surefire Nirvana or Pearl
Jam...However, one of the reasons why so many good bands were lying in wait was
the independent record label Sub-Pop. I think Rev. Bob could fill in more
detail...

If you're looking for older Seattle music, there's Heart and Jimi Hendrix...

I would also add the Marley box set to my wish list. I heard of a 4-5 CD set of
all the old Motown releases was coming out soon. Sounds like it would be an
excellent way to get a slew of classics at once. Anyone heard anything about
it?

Just guessing:
    Frankie Goes To Holliwood, called something like 'The Warriors of
the Waistlands'. The tape with that song for some reason was the only
one confiscated among tons of other tapes, when one of my friends
returned from his European trip. I guess, the customs workers took it
too close to their heart. :)

So I opened my big mouth and said if you hate the blues would you leave
you're taking up space making it hard to get to the rest room making hard
to get to the bar, so please go home. Luckily for me (or him) he took it
OK, but next time in the RR i saw him again and said i thought you were
leaving i forgot what he said. The place was packed and half the crowd was
there to exercise their hormonial desires...I really wish these people would

There's a shareware music-cataloguing package out there called PLAYLIST, for
PC's and compatibles... The only place I know of that has it up on the net
is the FTP site at grind.isca.uiowa.edu.  It lets you sort by artist, type
of music, type of media, and title, and also allows you to set a filter for
play time of songs.  It doesn't print catalogue cards that I know of, as it's
apparently meant to be used instead of those. :)

        'twas "Warriors Of The Westland". The "bad" song was "Two Tribes",
anyway: the video showed two actors, terribly similar to Reagan and (???)
Breznev (???) fighting on a ring and in the mud... terrific, really. It was
banned, somewhere. The album title was "Liverpool", and it was a very good
record, in my opinion.

Well if you'll take another Rev.s advice..
    I'd reccomend _Candy Apple Grey_ as a good Husker Du CD to start
with.
    I'd also reccomend Bob Mould's latest venture with a band called
Sugar....and Godd*mnit I can't remeber the blody title to their CD...
Jesus, that really pisses me off...Shit.  Anyway the band is Sugar.
The CD is good and if anyone can remind me of the title I'll reserve
a special prayer for whatever deity they choose...

If he likes traditional country blues, get him either _Charlie Patton: Founder
of the Delta Blues_, or _Charlie Patton: Master of the Delta Blues_. Both are
CD box sets of material originally issued on Yazoo Records, now digitally
remastered and reissued. Your local good record store should have a clue on
where to get 'em if they're not in stock, or I can get more information for
you. Get one or the other, not both... they're 'spensive.

If he only likes the more modern blues (BB King et al, the electric postwar
stuff), well... does he have any Johnny Otis? Wynonie Harris? Louis Jordan?
Those guys often get overlooked, and all are excellent. Louis Jordan in
particular did wonderful stuff. A case could be made for him as the true
founder of rock & roll. I know he's had greatest-hits-type material available
on both import and domestic, but I don't know about recent CD reissues, I
can't keep up with 'em anymore.

Does he have the new one by Pop Staples? Damn, what's that title... "Peace
to the Neighborhood." Pop gets typecast as gospel, but any blues fan will
love this album. It's on my gotta-get list.

_Operation Mindcrime: The Video_. It has six songs off the CD on it. It

I'm guessing that the little inquisitor is 43. Now this is a wild guess
since I'm new to the list. I'm always looking to expand my musical horizons
though.

Because the weather's so damp all you want to do is sit in a basement and play?
Because the genie of rock innovation is slowly making its way up the coast, and
we'll hear the Vancouver Sound in 1996, to be followed in the early 21st century
by the Alaska Bop?

You missed at the very least Mudhoney, the Melvins (I know they claim they're
not from Seattle, but they're still from Washington state), and my personal
favorites, the Tone Dogs.
