Regarding Bob Neuwirth:

He can be grouped with a bunch of singer/songwriters who are (for the
most part, but not entirely) very religious, but their songs are
much more universally appealing than, say, Dylan's born again stuff.

Others in this group include Peter Case, Tom Russell and T Bone Burnett.
(While many are familiar with T Bone and Peter, few have heard Tom
Russell.  His stuff is at least as good and he's been around longer).

Neuwirth has been around a long time, but he has only one album before
"Back to the Front" which was done almost ten years earlier.  Its title
escapes me,and it's no longer in print (I haven't seen it anywhere).

He used to be good buds with Dylan, and if you see "Don't Look Back"
the documentary about Dylan, Neuwirth is his best pal during the
tour being documented.

I agree that his songs are just wonderful.  It seems he's recording
regularly now with two records within two or three years of each other. 
I hope he continues.

OK--I admit it.  I occasionally like Taylor Dayne (like to listen to
her, didn't much appreciate her change in image).  I've heard she
has a new album out but haven't heard anyone discuss it.  Has there
been a recent release and if so, has anyone heard it?  Anyone care to
give a synopsis?  Thanks.

My top 10 groups of all time (in order). Distinctly modern and
British compared to most of the offerings. I have no real interest
in old stuff being of the firm opinion that the BEST pop music is
improving all the time (it's what I listen to anyway).

  1) New Order
       pop music in it's purest (albeit synthesized) form
  2) Swing Out Sister
       "someone phone the jazz police" (quote) - great musicians.
  3) Hue and Cry
       Terrific Scottish duo
  4) Prefab Sprout
       Very intelligent and unusual lyrics.
  5) Tears for Fears
       Good solid tunes. Lead singer has a very distinctive voice.
  6) Beautiful South
       Probably should have put them higher. Great lyrics.
  7) All about Eve
       Also Scottish (I think). Folksy/mystical group.
  8) Talking Heads
       I think the best American band ever. Certainly the most original.
  9) B52's
       A truly wacky group with great "toons" to boot.
 10) Shakespeare's Sister
       Unusual songs with an incredible vocalist (Marcella Detroit)

And now for the best 10 soloists

  1) Suzanne Vega
       Not the greatest singer, but the greatest singer/songwriter
       and a poetress too.
  2) Kate Bush
       Great voice, great songs. Supertalented woman.
  3) k.d. lang
       Terrific voice. Interesting songs.
  4) Julia Fordham
       An English rose who has sung some enchanting songs.
  5) Madonna
       Love her or hate her she has sung some very good songs (I love her
       of course)
  6) Robert Palmer
       A man at last !! Mr. Suave himself. Real funky stuff.
---------------------------------
  7) Lisa Stansfield   )
  8) Tanita Tikaram    ) I threw these in just to make up
  9) Morrissey         ) the ten.
 10) Phil Collins      )

ASIA was scheduled to play The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey
on November 14, this past Sunday.  The local ads indicated Asia
featuring Steve Howe and Geoff Downes.

I could not attend, and do not know anyone else who did, but I would
be very interested in hearing from anyone who has seen them and what

RSF may be popular, but influential...nah!  I'm mean really, can you
name one performer, group or otherwise who actually said, "Oh yes,
Right Said Fred is the main influence for my/our music". ;-)  I think
five years from now, people will be saying "remember those guys that
did that 'too sexy for my shirt' song...what was their name?"  Heck, if
these guys are on the list, why not include the Village People?

hard for me to pick between Tracey Partridge (cf: her work on Eno's
"Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy" -- ask Greg Taylor to tell you the
stories that Eno told him about Tracey, while Greg and Eno were passing
each other on the way to and from the restroom) and Veronica Lodge's

ok but there are some serious holes in this.. a person only knows that

Hi all,

just listened to a band called "Basehead" (Micheal Ivey I believe is the
main person).  It blends a sparse hip-hop sound behind his acoustic
guitar singing about the hard-breaks of life.  I thought that the
sound a new bent in popular music.  To the people who have heard/read
about this band, please speak up.

Anyother bands that are similar in style.  I like the vox on this CD
but it is tough to make out some of the lyrics.  Since it tells a
story I would appreciate any lyrics on some of the songs of this
release, hmm don't have the CD with me....title is "Play with Toys".

Any reply to me or response to me or bboards,
Thanks,
John

The tracks are "Rave the Rhythm" by Channel X, and "Blue" by LaTour.

The Channel X track is on several techno compilations, the easiest
of which to find in the US being 'Techno Sonic' on Sonic Records,
the best of which (IMHO) being 'The 2nd Chapter' on XL Recordings UK
(in other words, it's an import in the US).

The LaTour track is on that band's (self-titled?) album, I forget
the name. It's also the B-side of a CD single by the band that was
released about the same time as the movie.

Hope it helps.

Hey, I think it was interesting to see that DAF had a song by the same
name, plus the subject brought up fond memories :-) Personally, I
prefer 5 (possibly identical) answers to such questions for each

Hiya,

The band you're looking for is, beleive it or not, The Osmonds.
It's on their album Crazy Horses released in mid-seventies, I guess.
I know that The Alex Harvey Band has made a cover of it. What version do

My memory never was what it used to be.  "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) is
how I think the title formally went, artist was Melanie.  Her surname is
Safka, she just went by Melanie though. Later 60's, about 68 or so it

Actually, the "Alex..." song is not a mix of "The Fly", it's part of the
soundtrack Bono and Edge did for A Clockwork Orange ( and is not on Achtung
Baby). It's just there as a B-side for the single.

Subject: MTV CD Contest, list of videos
Organization: The Smelly Ditch
Date: Sat, 21 Nov 92 21:42:58 GMT


	MTV is running a contest where they have ten `special' videos.  These
videos are identified by showing a small circular logo in the lower right of the
screen for a few seconds during the video.  If you write down all ten videos
and mail it to mtv you get in a drawing for 10,000 cds (I think) and $10,000
and an unspecified stereo.  Entries must be received by January 28th.

	Rather than stay glued to a boob-channel on the boob-toob,
I thought it would pretty cool if people on the net who have seen one or
two of the `special' videos could contribute to a public list of them.

	I realize there are some flaws in this approach:

	1) Why would I want to tell everyone else the videos I know about?
	   Won't that just make my chances of winning the drawing less?

	   Answer:  You can't enter the drawing unless you have all ten videos.
	   So unless you are prepared to dedicate day and night to watching mtv,
	   you probably wouldn't be able to enter the contest anyway.

	2) If someone lies by saying a video is `special' when it really isn't,
	   that will screw up everyone who uses the list.

	   Answer: People can always double-check for themselves.  One can
	   probably get an mtv playlist and watch at specific times to verify
	   a video's `specialness.'  Additionally, if more than ten videos
	   show up on the list, we know someone is lying.

Either post as a follow-up or reply to me directly if you want to
contribute to the list.  I will take care of posting any e-mail
replies I get.

So, to start things off, here is the only `special' video I know of:
