Well, the buzz around here is that Scrawl has called it quits.  I hope
it's not true, but Marcy Mays was decidedly dejected the last time I
saw her.  One can only put up with a hand-to-mouth existence for so
long.  It's not that Scrawl wanted to make it *big* - they just wanted
to make it from week to week.  Lately it's been tough to do that with
distributors going bankrupt and albums going out of print.  

I'm sure the band would be heartened to know that they've found some
fans in Oz.  And I hope I'm wrong about Scrawl disbanding - they're  
one of the few things about Columbus that are worth exporting.  But 
Marcy seemed pretty fatalistic a few months ago.  I hope she's had
a change of heart.

The champ in this category has to be "Life Is A Rock (But The Radio
Rolled Me)" by Reunion!

for those who've never heard this Top 20 1974 hit...
imagine Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The fire" with
  a) a decent melody
  b) all the historical references replaced with group names (and then 
    some).

Has anyone mentioned the bi-zillion songs that mention the group "Love"
yet? :)

Just one of those notorious misprints. The Cd says "18:45", but the book and
case both say "12:51". 

Or maybe it's a conspiracy, and only a few people have a longer mix of

Newsgroups: rec.music.misc

According to the June 1990 (#15) Both Sides Now:

"When Band was sold to Columbia Special Products, the Neil Diamond catalog 
was not part of the deal, since Diamond himself has had control of his
Bang catalog for years, and even put out an album of Bang material on his
own Frog King label.  The album, available only through the Columbia Record
Club, contained the true stereo version of "Kentucky Woman", the only
time it has appeared in stereo.  Diamond's Band songs have some variations,
with three different version of "Solitary Man" and two versions each of  
"Do It", "Shilo" and "I'm a Believer".  THe original 45 versions of     
"Solitary Man" and "Do it" have never appeared in stereo."

According to the discography in the same issue, the 45 version of Shilo
is on the Bang albums "Just For You" and "Double Gold" in stereo and
the alternate version, also in stereo, is on the Bang "Shilo" LP plus 
the Frog King "Early Classics" and Columbia "Classics-The Early Years".

Not!

Frank Sinatra had the first concept albums - collections of
thematically linked songs. Check out "September of my Years". You can
even get them on CD!

Similar phenomena:


Hold the INSIDE picture of Led Zeppelin IV perpendicular to a mirror,
with the right edge of the picture touching the mirror.  The mountain
and its reflection form the face of a black dog.  (I forget whether this
works with the CD insert.)


The album cover of one of the editions of "In and Out of Focus", by Focus,
consisted of nothing but pink dots.  But if you looked at it from a distance
of about ten feet, you could read the word FOCUS.

Do these count?

Kiss has a song 'Firehouse' and there is the band Firehouse.
Van Halen has 'Tora! Tora!' and there is the band Tora Tora.

The two songs were written before the other groups existed, but they are
songs that mention other groups.  (And yes, I am bored enough to answer

   I think Axl was trying to convey an image of isolation.  I can't think

Um... as best I know, Swing Out Sister are British. The only
name I remember is the singer, Corrine Drewry. I don't think
any of their singles made it big in the US after Breakout,
but I know they were VERY big in Japan. That's all I know.

Glad someone finally did a reality check here. :) Reading this thread
could make one think that music was invented in the 70's. :)   Sinatra
did the first concept album when he released "Wee Small Hours" for
Capitol back in the early 50's.  Sinatra was one of the first big artists 
to demand that he would determine the songs that he would record as 
opposed to singing whatever drivel the record company wanted.  (Yeah, I 
know many of you think all he did was drivel, but that's taste.)

"Endgame" off REM's little known "Out of Time" would fit perfectly on
"Magical Mystery Tour" [by some even less known British 60s band]

Dear Mr./Ms./Miss/Mrs. U. N. System (or can I call you USEy)?

Thank you for the complement!!!!  While there are millions of Elton John
and Bernie Taupin fans out there, it's really thoughtful of you to con-
sider Dan and I the ultimate Elton fans (hence why you thought I meant
"I was talking to the other Elton John fan...").  However, this is unfair
to the millions of other fanatical Elton fans out there.  Dan and I are 
not so vain to think we're the only fans.  But thanks for recognizing our 
loyalty.  BTW I'm sure this thought will make you cringe with deeeelight:  My
ideal of the ultimate concert is Elton guest keyboarding for the Dead!
Doesn't that excite you? 

Thanks again!  I'm flattered (and I bet Dan is too)!

P.S.  How did your folks come up with naming you USENET?  It's so cool!
