enough (and as soon as finals are over next week), I'll post the interview.

Andy Prieboy was part of Wall of Voodoo.  I think his latest is Andy Prieboy -
Montezuma Was a Man of Faith -- only 5 songs but I like it.  

He does stuff with Concrete Blonde.  He opened for them in SF for 
Bloodletting.  He and Johnette did a duet together.  I forget what it 
was -- Joey or maybe Tomorrow, Wendy?  It was excellent tho'.  Oh yeah --
Johnette is credited with vocals for one song on Montezuma....

When he opened it was just him and his keyboards on a mostly dark stage.  
He talked a lot and did his songs.  It was a very intimate, personal 
performance.

It was a great evening.

Any reactions on _Honey's Dead_?  It sounds as if they've still kept that
PepsiColaBeachBoysOnAcidCruisingPacificCoastHighwayOnHarleyDavidsonsInSloMoFeel
along with their drum machine, but it does sound different than _Automatic_-
daresay the new album sounds more "aggressive"?  They've also added that
patented shufflebeat to their rhythm arsenal ("Reverence" and "Tumbledown"),
and while the reverb's been turned down a bit, the feedback is back in
appreciable amounts.  Nothing earthshakingly new or anything close to being
original here, but the songs are catchy and frightningly good.  If I had some
money when I heard this at the store I would have snapped it up on the spot,
but I'm definitely saving my pennies....

OK, is it just me, or is everything that J&MC ever do always going to be
compared in some way to _Psychocandy_?  Just curious.

Also, for anyone who's managed to see the Rollercoaster tour: are Jim&William
still as detached from the audience as they've always been?

One final thing: the Reid brothers managed to filch a bit of Einsturzende
Neubauten's "Tanz Debil" for the middle of "Tumbledown".  This amused me 
greatly.
One more final thing: I recently saw an exorbitantly priced CD recording of
a riot that happened at a J&MC gig.  This also amused me greatly.
I guess I'm unusally easy to amuse....

Well, as I have ten minutes to myself, and I'm feeling like committing
network suicide, here's an opinion you are invited to disagree (or even
agree) with.

It has been said several times on this board in the not-so-distant-past
that the "real" Pixies stuff is the noisier, harder stuff, and it's
generally accepted that pre-Doolittle material is the best of this.
Tracks such as "Here Comes Your Man" and "Monkey Gone to Heaven" have
been dismissed as bowing to commercialism and described as "sell-out"s
or something similar. Well:

I don't think that's right.

Am I still here? Gosh, I am. They must be lying in wait somewhere.

I got into the Pixies through the Surfer Rosa/Come On Pilgrim
combination. Since then, I've picked up all the albums, including Trompe
Le Monde the day it came out. I like pretty much all of what they've
done, and I would agree that Bossanova is perhaps their weakest album.
However I don't believe it's particularly soft, especially when you
consider Doolittle.

Also: "Monkey Gone..." is one of my favourites, likewise "Here Comes
Your Man". I don't just prefer soft stuff, for I would also include "The
Holiday Song", "Tony's Theme" and half of Trompe Le Monde.

The point is this: why should the Pixies have to conform to some
stereotype or character that they acquired after Surfer Rosa? One mark
of a good band is versatility, and this is something displayed on
Doolittle. There are people out there who would like them to play "Bone
Machine" and similar, over and over again, every tour, but most of us
surely agree that would get stale. Isn't accepting each new album on
its own merits, rather than comparing it to their first one, a more
satisfying attitude? 

Well, I said it. Do your worst, I can take it.

Yup, that's definitely Love and Rockets from the album "Express"
The name of the song is Express Khundalini, not sure about the 
spelling of Khundalini.  Just as an interesting side note, Khundalini
is a term from Eastern philosophy.  The khundalini is something that is
located in a person's spine that one tries to bring up to the top of the
spine, to the head.  How far up the spine your Khundalini is gives an
indication of your spiritual advancement.  When it reaches the head, the
person has attained enlightenment.  Well, I'm not too sure on the details of
that, but its something along those lines.  It added something to the song
for me when I was told that by my roommate.  Makes the phrase Khundalini
Express pretty cool, IMHO.

If you like that song, I suggest listening to "Bound for Hell" from 
their most recent (2-3 years ago) self titled album.  Another "train"
song, with some killer lyrics and an overall excellent delivery.

Anyway...enough of my babbling.

I really don't know what your beef is, since I think their best album is "In My
Tribe" album from 1987.  I haven't heard the Hope Chest album all the wa
through, but I know the Blind man's Zoo album well, and I feel that Headstrong 
was merely a mediocre song in comparison to others on that album like "Eat for
Two", "The Big Parade", and "Dust bowl".  I like 10000 Maniacs for the truly moving lyrics that Natalie Merchant writes.  

	If you don't like the "Blind Man's Zoo" album, try "In My Tribe", my 
personal  favorite.  As albums go, it is one of the best total works, each song
continuing on a thread of causes from child abuse to illiteracy, to War, to 
Greed.  If you don't enjoy this album, then maybe you just won't enjoy 10000  
Maniacs.

That's why most bouncers try to stop it! A venue has to has insure against

  As a devoted fan of Peter Murphy, I rushed and bought his  
  new CD "Holy Smoke".  It has nine new songs and is 45 minutes long. 

  Here's my quick impression.

  Overall, it was good, but not great.  (To me) it is more slightly 
  mellow (but not slow) than previous CDs.  I would rate it #3 or #4, 
  ranking his albums (with Love Hysteria first, then Deep).   One element 
  I missed in this CD compared to previous is that there was less variety
  between each song, most sounded similar.Also, there were no slow songs like 
  Strange Kind of Love or Marlene Dietrich (sp).  I recommend listening 
  to this CD before purchasing it.  

  I would rate it 2.5 stars on a scale of four. 

  NOW, for great music I've been enjoying Shakespear Sister...
