Happy Tuesday, all!  Or should that be Merry Christmas... it's snowing here...
Time to dig my fake-fur teddy out of storage...  ;)

My mailer finally unplugged, so I'm attempting to catch up here:

Yes, Kim, Stephen is a good live performer and I like the sound of his
guitar... it's somewhat reminiscent of Luka Bloom's chorus effects... nice hair
too.   I'm not familiar with _Fearing and Loathing_...  I have two of his
albums.  One is _Blue Line_ and I've forgotten the other title, but that's not
it...

Actually, I'm quite comfortable on top...  ;*)  So who have better lips?
Trumpet players or crumhorn players?


Russ sed:

>A marine?  HA!  Two HA!s  Think somewhere between pony-tail and crew-cut,
>that really narrows it down, eh?

Oh... so... you're a yuppie with a sculptured haircut then... do you drive
a Saab like T-bass too?  ;)

The dude in a cube sed:

Hey cool!  I've seen them perform as well here at the U of Hell...  they're
from Montreal and they are worth seeing.


Russ sed:

>   Just picked up the Flecktones latest CD for $10.  Also to be found,

>with Diamonds, no wait, that's the wrong Kirk.....

Shame on you, Russ... you passed up RT.  How could you?  ;)  Actually, I like
Amnesia.  There's a couple of interesting tunes on that one:  the song called
"Waltzing's for Dreamers" (I think?) and that Pharoah tune...  There's one
other really cool track, but I've forgotten the other song titles?  Michael?
Ken?  Help?

_Pour Down Like Silver_ is still my favorite Richard Thompson release.

>   Lately I've been thinking about doing something by Peter Gabriel.
>Marco, you listening?

I am willing,
I am ready
I believe
Lay you hands on me!

*hint* *hint*

>I like Little Feat (at least old LF), but the hippie band does a lot of
>their stuff, so that's out.

Who the hell is this mystery hippy band you're referring to??

>We do Mystery Dance.  Heaven would be fun.  A favorite from my days
>in the seminary (just kidding).  A warped Sexual Healing might get some
>smiles too....

Yes... some warped sexual healing would certainly put a smile on my face right
about now...


Michael sed:

>(I had to catch up to Hendrix after the fact, as I did with so much great old
>stuff; I still feel like I spend 75% of my listening time researching what I
>shoulda known...)

I can certainly relate...  I've discovered so much good stuff that past me by
when I was a foolish teen in the 70's (ie. King Crimson, Gentle Giant, old
Richard Thompson, old Peter Gabriel).  I did get rid of my Jackson 5 and
Partridge Family albums, finally, so maybe there is hope for me afterall.  ;)

>Well, no. I flunked out of Brown, but continued to hang around Providence

>I could never drink up to the Brown standard: "with our scotch and rye /
>and our whisky dry / and our B-O-U-R-B-O-N" (sung to the highly forgettable
>tune of Brown's alma mater, need I remark).

Awe... gee Tim, how come you didn't serenade n.n. and I with that tune while
you were giving us the tour of Brown University??  ;)

>>                                   ... and whatever that Irish

>Blasphemer. May that Irish goat squat on your terminal.

You tell him, Michael!  Yah got something against goats??!!  I'm a she-goat
(ie. a Capricorn), so nyah!  ;*)


wild and wooly walt sed:

>(i'm about ready to go worship the 1st thing in a skirt that can hit a natural
>A barefoot);shit I hope the Royal Caookian Black Watch aren't coming to town
>tonight - I might have alot of explaining to do....

I can don a kilt and hit a natural 'eh' in my sandals...  Is that close enough?
I think we practice the same religion...  :)


This is for Mike and David and any other Californian's who might be interested:

>you can do some interesting things with it in the sex department.
>Just don't waste it on some blonde named Debbie, eh?  ;)

Interesting things with Icy Hot??  No thanks!  I've got a few kinky quirks, but
I'm not an orthodox sadist!  The hockey player told me about an initiation
routine for rookie hockey players that included placing Deep Heat in their
underwear while the unsuspecting players were warming up on the ice. What made
this whole thing even worse was that the instinctual thing to do once the prank
is discovered is to hop in a hot shower and attempt to wash it off...   Perhaps
we should have a similar initiation routine for Allmusic newbies to weed out
the wimps -- a sort of enforced idea of Michaels suggestion of natural
selection.  Can we put you in charge of this initiation, no-nicker?  :)

The hot-to-trot,
Carol
