   Come on folks! Lighten up!

   I totally support Mr. Whitman in his post. 
  
   He is NOT mocking God. 
   He is mocking our idea that we can identify Christ with a partisan
    politcal party. He is mocking the tendency of some (not all, but some)
    Christians to uncritically endorse the GOP, and to confuse the
    purpose of the Church with the purpose of a political party.

   Listen up!

   Can't we learn to _examine_ our beliefs? "Test the spirits," Paul said.
   Examine what you believe. Don't be afraid to take an attack. If what
   you believe is really true, it will stand. The Christian message, for
   example, has been attacked for a long time, but it still stands.

   Let me tell y'all that I DID vote for Mr. Bush. And I DO fear for the
   political future of our country. But the fate of the church does not 
   depend on the political situation. 

   Mr. Whitman has done us a great service by pointing out some
   fallacies in our(my) thinking.

yeah, the red/orange/green album is called "gumbo millennium". it's good.
the album before that is great too (it might be their first). the
latest album is an ep, with a slightly different line-up. the singer
and drummer are different. i *much* preferred the original two, but
i'm into the new stuff anyway.

I have a double album set called "Amnesia" on the Jack Trax label out of
England. You will have one hell of a time finding it. One side is essentially
the "Can U Feel It?" 12" from the Trax dayz. The other 3 sides are even
more ambient if you can believe that. If people *really* want it I can post
a track listing.

There's also an LP called "In the Key of E", I've forgotten the label. This
has a reworking of "Can U Feel It?" with some guy essentially doing a House
gospel speech over top. It's the "JACK is the one that moves your body..."
spiel over top of the plain old "Can U Feel It?". This compilation also has
Adonis' "Acid Poke", Bam Bam's "Where's Your Child?", and "The Lack of
Love" by Charles B. (?). 

Good luck!

Hello,

     Is anybody out there familiar with a band called Billy Goat.  I saw
them a few times (about two years ago that is) and they were awesome.  The
lead singer plays the bongos, and his girlfriend (I guess that what she is)
dances around the stage in spandex holding up strange posters.  The bass player
and drummer popped out the funkiest grooves, and the guitarist kept things kind
and grungy.  Anyway I was just wondering if this group still exists, and if
anybody knows what their up to?  I think they are originally from Dallas

                                   Thanks

Hello, 

	I have not posted to this group before, as I am a member
of the group "alt.rap", but I was just passin' through. It turns out that I 
just wrote an album review and story on Love Deluxe (by Sade). Here's 
the scoop...

	After a four year hiatus, 33-year-old Sade Adu is back with
Love Deluxe, which is basically an album full of songs regarding love
and relationships, basic Sade style. During her hiatus, Sade married
a Spanish producer, and later left him. For more inofrmation, there
is a good interview with her in this months "Details"....

	The album is good though.. Well worth the money.

Ronny Jordan "The Antidote" is good mellow jazz guitar with a kicking bass
(includes 2 "rap" songs).  Of course, there in the Brand New Heavies
self-titled album, but that mught be too commercial. The Young Disciples
"Road to Freedom" (? I think) is good.  These are just dome of the bigger
names that come to mind (Acid Jazz stuff...)  there is a *lot* more
along those lines, but depends where you are, and how good a stock your
store has :-)

Hey...

Sorry...didnt catch the name, but someone was talking about fingers....I just
completed my Mr. Fingers collection this weekend....The first CD is "On Top Of
The World" under the name "The It"...then came "Another Side" under the name
Fingers Inc. thats what I bought this weekend...Its a double album! 90 minutes
of music and more tracks from Robert Owens!!!!!!!!!!! It has that song you were
talking about, "Can you feel it"...The thing is that the album version is an
instrumental, but Ive heard a version with Robert Owens doing vocals..There is
supposed to be a "can you feel it" EP floating around somewhere...guess Ill 
have  to go searching for *that* now...The only this is that I couldnt find the
CD of "Fingers Inc" so I settled for the album...The record guy said it wasnt 
release on CD, but when I took the album home and read it, it says also avail-
able on CD and cassette!!  So...If anyone knows where I can find it, or is will
ing to sell the CD, which I doubt, Im interested!! The album is cool, it has,
I guess its an excerpt from NME magazine,that runs down the whole history
behind Mr. Fingers, how he got started, hooking up with record labels, and get-
ting screwed by them...real interesting!! And Yes, Introduction is sooo smooth!
I hope this CD sells, it a shame when such talent goes unnoticed...Like his 
former partner Robert Owens getting dropped from Island Records after just 1
badly publicised, but very good  album...Hope we hear from him soon...

                                                    Peace

The group 247spyz is simply WILD and very, very, very, very LOUD in concert.
I have seen them three times in concert and each show got louder and louder.
(The last show was so loud that Jimi Hazel, the guitarist, even asked the
sound guy to turn his monitor down!).

Like most Fishbone shows, always expect moshing and slam dancing and stage
diving.  LOTS OF IT!

Pete Fluid was the original lead singer, and he was much better than the 
present singer (He's o.k., but Pete was in the true sense a character).
I must say I think they are excellent on recording, but not as good live
because on the records you can hear how diverse they are (reggae, jazz,
metal, soul, you name it they can play it), but live they lean towards
loud thrashing (only a few snippets of clear, undistorted reggae, jazz licks,
etc.)

I think you should see them at least once and I always say that I will
ALWAYS buy their records (three at the moment and one ep: Pete singing on
the first two and the new guy on the last album and the ep: ALL HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED) and not see their live shows again, but I always end up going
(with my earplugs of course to filter pure distortion).

At 2 of the 3 shows I have seen, FOLLOW FOR NOW opened up for them.( I am
not going to bore you(just a little. I can not help it.), but I more than love
FOLLOW FOR NOW.  They are beyond excellent. They are more funk oriented than Fishbone, Living Colour, and 247
SPYZ.  David Ryan Harris, the singer, has  a very smooth voice, and Enrique
the drummer is very good and always uses a lot of "middle" beats to spice
things up......So if you ever have an opportunity to see these guys, SEE
THEM.  You will not be disappointed.  I have seen them at least 12 times,
and if they play I break my neck trying to see them.  Since they are from
Atlanta I get to see them a lot. Check out there self-titled, debut album on 
Chrysalis.

If you get to see them or hear their album, please let me know what you
think.  Email me at: de@cc.gatech.edu
I would love to hear from you.  I am also a HUGE Prince Fan (been collecting

To paraphrase Barry Goldwater (anybody out there old enough to remember him?),
"Extremism in the defense of TOP is no vice." They are the greatest band ever
to grace the planet, and I've never heard anyone who sounds as good live as 
they do.

This band has certainly had it's ups and downs, and the they put out (IMHO)
a couple of really bad albums (*Back On The Streets* and *Power*) but *Monster*
is great stuff. It's certainly not the same groove that the classic albums
of the early 70's, but the sound quality is excellent, and the playing is
superb. I read an article on the band in some jazz mag (Jazzis?), not too
long ago, and they boys said that they caved in to record company pressures
to be more mainstream, and the music suffered accordingly. 

I haven't seen it yet, but have heard that *East Bay Grease*, their first
album, released in 1970, is supposed to be out on CD this week. I've also
heard that they are at work on a new album, that should be out next Spring.

To get nickpicky :) actually there were 2 vocalists , aside from Mr. Fingers
that were in Fingers Inc. It used to be just a duo, then they added this other
guy(whose name I cant remember). Anyway, on the Fingers Inc. album both Robert
and the other guy do vocals on the tracks, whether it be 2 on the same track or
each with their own...The bulk of the vocal tracks had Owens solo though

                                                  or the 'Amnesia' CD

Has anyone heard these guys?  They're playing around the corner from me
this weekend, so I thought I might go check them out.  I know they are from
New York and are usually described as Urban Funk.  What kind of show can I
expect?
