Date: 1 Apr 92 23:28:11 GMT
Organization: Mitre Corporation, Bedford, MA.



Mac Fans,

The intended release dates for Lindsey Buckingham's new album "Out of
the Cradle," according to the new album release information posted
here periodicaly, have moved from February to March to April, and now
to May.  Originally, the new album was slated for LAST SUMMER
sometime!  Does anyone know what's going on with these constant
delays?  Is he having legal or "artistic" problems?  Did his garage
blow up with the master tapes in it?

All I know is when it does get released, it had better be better than
his first two solo albums combined.  7 years to make a new album,
sheesh.  At least now we can deduce who was REALLY responsible for
Fleetwood Mac's long delays between albums...

Does anyone else out there even care about this album?  

- Steve

I don't see a problem.  However,  If I don't like Public Enemy or Jethro

I disagree.  I have heard quite a few Rap albums.  I bought "Fear of a Black
Planet" as it was rated highly by quite a few people here on the net.  I have
a good friend that has a 13 year old son that listens to a lot of rap music.
I can differentiate between different rap artist quite well.  I find very
little of it that I like however.  I just don't care for that style of music.

This is one of the things that I don't like about it.  I don't care for the
bragdacio.  I don't like music forced down my throat.  I don't like the
attitude.  The mannerism (pointing, folding arms across the chest) don`t do
anything for me.

|If someone wishes to prove to me that Rap is real music then please show me

If someone wished to prove to me the real music must have a transcriptable
melody line you might have a point, however some rap does have a transcriptable
melody line.  Unfortunately that melody line is usually not original.

I read something about this group recently, don't remember where.
Anyway, the gist of it was that they'd recorded a buncha demos
or something and an album was planned for future release on
Warner Brothers, the same label that J's A was signed to.  I don't
recall any timeframe, but it may have said something like late summer
for release.

Ignore anything before (and including) "Lamb".  Those were (really)
Peter Gabriel Albums.  I don't think the rest of Genesis did much
writing for them.  (I could be wrong, but I don't think so).

Otherwise, you're correct.  I love Duke, Genesis, and Abacab.  Then
again, I also like some of the tracks on Invisible Touch (Give a close
listen to "Domino" one of these days, and "The Brazillian" is a great
instrummental work) so draw your own conclusions about my opinion.

I've heard a bit of a really interesting type of music lately and I was
wondering if anyone could help me find more.  I've been told it was a genre
called "surf music".  It's sort of rock and roll but not really.  Hard to
describe...

I hope someone out there knows what I'm talking about.  No, it's not Beach
Boys or stuff like that, I think I heard "the Ventures" mentioned, but I'm
not sure about that either.

What do I want?  Pointers and suggestions...  Anything really...  I'd like
to hear more of this type of music, but I really don't know where to
start...

Please respond via email and I'll summarise and post here.

thanks!

MBV have three full-length albums to their credit ! Plus quite a quite
a few other singles, 12 inch, and EP thingys. The album you forgot to
mention _Ecstacy and Wine_ was released after _Isn't Anything_. Seen
as a bit of a cash in by MBV's previous label Lazy records, the album
pre-dates _Isn't Anything_ . MBV themselves were pretty pissed off at
the time of it's release as they felt it was not representative of
their current work. The label itself had previously considered that
the album was not 'good enough for release'.  

Style-wise the record is very similar to _Isn't Anything_ and in IMHO
these two leave _Loveless_ standing.

Unhelpfully

Let's Go to Heaven came out in 1987...It was released both as a single
on Sire, and on the soundtrack to Police Academy 4 (Motown 6235MI). The
single, some copies of which came with a picture sleeve, announced that
this song would appear on his forthcoming album. Which, of course, it did
not. Too bad, because it's a decent song. The B-Side, Too Much Sugar, isn't
bad either, in a silly way, though it's not essential.

When that horrid Beach Boys movie-related collection came out a few years
ago, it contained a new song called "In My Car," which I thought was
"Let's Go to Heaven In My Car." No such luck...

There's also a short Christmas message from Brian on a promo-only Warner/Sire

in "Ask Me"  I think the lyrics toward the end of the song can pretty 
much clear that up.  I don't have 'em handy, but they are probably just

I borrowed a friend's CD called "Special Beat Service" by the 
English Beat.   I liked it a lot.  But a song on there called
"Rotating Head" immediately reminded me of that song from the movie
"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" called "Oh Yeah" by Yello, I believe.
Major parts of the two songs seem practically identical.

Has anyone else noticed this?  I wonder if somebody is ripping somebody
off here, or maybe there is some connection between the two groups,
English Beat and Yello?  I noticed that the English Beat CD was put out
in '82, which I believe is before the "Ferris Bueller" movie came out.

Does anyone have any info on these two very similar sounding songs?

I heard the album with "Don't Crash the Car Tonight".  I thought that, 
musically, they were excellent.  They really have a killer rhythm section and
the band seems to seamlessly weave many different music styles together within 
a single song.  I like that, a lot...  It really kept me on my toes when I
was listening to it.  It was very refreshing.

On the down side, I didn't care for the vocals too much.  I'm really getting
bored with thin, squealy, monotone female voices singing droning harmonies.
It's getting old, folks...  It's getting to be such a gimmick.

You alternative hipsters need a new gimmick, like say, belching or farting the
lyrics, yeah, that's the ticket...
