 One of my friends used to get us all nervous and in the mood in a Call of 
Cthlulu game by putting the Cat People album onto side 2 and turning the 
sound almost down to zero -- there's a regular rhythm that sounds like 
running when it's turned up, but goes into subliminals with it turned way way 
 down...

 'course, at the time we considered it a mean, cruel, rotten, nasty trick to  
play on us, as it really ate into your nerves and all...

Hello.  I find myself in charge of getting together the MIT Science Fiction
Society fanzine, also known as "The Twilight Zine".  I am very interested
in starting up a filk section, since I enjoy the stuff tremendously, and I
think other people should be exposed to the neat stuff that makes it across
here.  

I am now looking for the snail mail (or email, for that matter) address
of Joel Polowin -- aka Bunsen Honeydew, who wrote the song "Fifty Ways to
Kill and Ensign".  I fell out of my chair reading that...  Anyway, please
get in touch w/ me so that I can send you your free copy of the 'Zine...

I will in general ask persmission from the owner before I grab filk from
here by email, but I was lame and deleted the header when I put that file
in my archives.

Also, if anyone is interested in more information about Twilight Zine, send
me email (ammist@athena.mit.edu) and I will get you the address, etc.  

Thanks

Actually, it Would work rather well, but I would suggest a change to the 

"Pickalittle Talkalittle" lyric you proposed for better scanning:

Talkalittle sellalittle
Talkalittle sellalittle
Sell! Sell! Sell!
Talkalot sellalittlemore

(repeat above 3 x total)

Talkalittle sellalittle
Talkalittle sellalittle
Sell! Sell! Sell! Sell! Sell! Sell! Sell! Sell!


Of Course, to be juxtaposed with:
(to the tune of "Good Night, Ladies")

Hare Krishna
Hare, Hare.
Krishna, Krishna.
Let's sing it once again.

(Alternate last lines:
Let's sing it one more time.
Give us some money now.
Keep singing till they drop.
Don't stop until they pay.

...you get the idea...)

WARNING: DO _NOT_ ATTEMPT TO PERFORM THIS WITHOUT REHEARSAL!!

I was the musical director for a production of "The Music Man", and this
number
was the most difficult vocal piece in the show... MUCH more difficult than the
infamous "Trouble". Without claer enunciation, it'll fall flat on it's face.
Kep the volume down and the tempo up, and keep the pronunciation _LIGHT_.

(HMMMmmmmm... wouldn't this make a good number for the 'Totally tasteless
& tacky review"?? Do it in costume, with someone portraying the hapless
bystander trapped by the "Duelling Krishnas"??)

BTW, This one's just an edited version of the previous post, as far as I'm

I guess you are lucky.  I joined way back in the mid-to-late '70s.  Yes, the
the nice little certificate does say "lifetime".  However, once I quit order-
ing stuff, they eventually quit sending me price lists, newsletters, tour in-
formation, etc. (ie. I don't get diddly-squat from them anymore).  I sent them
a letter about this and their reply was that "you must buy SOMETHING from the
Backstage Club each year" or you will be removed from their mailing list.  

Doesn't sound too "lifetime" to me (other than maybe my name is still written
down somewhere).  Needless to say, I have been very disillusioned by this.  
IMO, this is false advertising; there was nothing in the original packet that
I received stating this either.  They just up and decided to do it WITHOUT 
NOTICE!

Funny... in 9th Grade English we had to write a poem.  The best 5 or so from
the class would make it into the local newspaper.  One kid didn't know about
this last part and submitted Jacob's Ladder.  You guessed it.

A passage to Bangkok refers to, I believe, about Marijuana-  
What can I say?  it was 1976!  Certain passages like "Sweet Jamaican
pipe dreams", "Golden Acapulco nights", "the fragrance of Afghanistan"
stuff like that refers to pot-  Though I don't have any personal experience
with pot, (albeit one experimentation which convinced me that pot was 
a BIG mistake!) I knew someone once who did have quite a bit of knowledge 
on the subject, and thats what he said.....I think RUSH like most people
had an on again off again affair with smoking the "front yard" here and 
there, but I think by about 1979 or so they decided it was pretty boring
and as Geddy put it about their change in song writing, "it was time to 
come down out of the fog and put down something that was concrete."  
I think that could also mean a few more things as well.....I know that they
were all starting to look a little ragged out around 1978 around the time 
that ARCHIVES was put out.....(IMHO of course)  Neil looks a little 
strung out......whoops I mean he LOOKED a little strung out then....
Now he looks really good-  So does Ged (despite a wrinkle or two , but who 
cares?) and Alex looks VERY good!  I think you can look at these guys and 
compare them to say, Chris Robinson whose the lead vocalist for the Black
Crowes?  The bands music is quite good, although Chris looks HORRIBLE!  
He looks more strung out and stoned than Jimmy Page did back in 79 or 80.
Neal at his worst looked better than that!

They have books from Moving Pictures up to Roll The Bones (excluding

I agree. I first got into Rush with A Show Of Hands. Since then, I've got to like
all the 80s/90s albums but haven't really tried the old stuff. The few tracks I've
heard (from the Chronicles compilation) from that era sound OK but a bit too much
like Led-Zep. Anyone recommend the best 70s album to start with ?

You make my point. It's somewhat interesting to read which albums you

It may be obvious, but what do you *do* with the rtbrap.snd file
available from the syrinx.umd.edu ftp site? Do you have to open it
with some special program? Or is it a BinHex self-extracting file (I
ftp-ed it ASCII). Help me out!

The Chinese say that when you die, you will "go to meet Marx." Hmmm.
