Man oh man...

First bit of advice:  Take NOTHING that appears in a Top Ten list
seriously.  No matter how well-thought-out and good your comments
on it are, the best you can hope for is that you'll end up looking
like a complete fool who has no sense of humor.

In addition:  As near as I can tell (and it's hard to figure out),
the main thing that pissed you off about Adam's Top Ten list was
either that he dared insult the Princester (naaahhh, couldn't be
that, after all you started off by saying that "if you don't like
Prince that is fine") or else that he made fun of him.  If the
latter, what's so holy about Prince that he can't be made fun of?
OK, maybe he's "one of the greatest musicians of all time" (or maybe
not), but I'd wager to say that anyone who is respected in any
field, including music, has fun made of them.  If you need proof,
see the PDQ Bach thread that recently ran, ask a physics major
about Einstein stories, ask Math majors about Norbert Wiener,
etc etc ad nauseum.  If you don't think these things are funny,
then PAY THEM NO MIND and take my word for it--others do, and
telling them they shouldn't will provoke at best a bemused glance
and at worst...well, I don't do worst cases.

Keep up the good work, Adam--enjoyed the list.

Going home now to watch the Letterman show,

Subject:      Sonic Youth, loose bedsprings

   Channel surfing last night, I see this movie like thing, with a band
that sounds familiar, but it's only showing the singers head, and I don't
recongize them.  They sound good, like a real band, not a made-for-tv
band.  So I put down the surfboard :-), and then realize that it's Sonic
Youth, noise, feedback and all.  Turns out it's JBTV, which is this
Jerry Garcia lookalike guy who does interviews, etc. with good contemporary
bands.  His name is something like Jerry Baldwin, hence JB.  I guess SY is
on tour, and they talked up their opening acts.  One is called Boredom,
a "grunge-noise" band from Japan.  They've either played with or been produced
by John Zorn.  One of the SY'ers said they were "really amazing" or "way out
there" or something like that.  Interesting.

   And, I caught some of the working-class-hero for the 90's, straight from
Beverly Hills, Mr. Bruce Springsteen, on some other channel.  Pretty standard
fare, except that he displayed some nice guitar work.  Nothing fancy, just
some nice noisy rock guitar.  Surprised me.  Maybe some of the $$$$$$ went
into guitar lessons?

David! You're a man after my own heart! Really good stuff here!  I have
_The Best of Louis Jordan_ on cd (MCAD-4079), and it's nothing if not
totally wonderful: in all 20 of his best tracks; the sound is impeccable,
and it has "Let the Good Times Roll" and "Caldonia."  Cooler sounds are
hard to find.  Get it!!

Afterthoughts on "Louie Louie":  For original lyrics refer to Richard Berry (on
 Flip Records), ca. 1956-7. Original version *vastly* different from subsequent
ones.  I have this, but it's hopelessly beyond my reach, as it's stashed in one
of my many uncatalogued boxes of 45s --yeah, the ones that the Koester the Joke
ster likes to amusing himself with.

Hey there allmusicers, I've got a strange one for you.

  I was wondering if anyone could tell me who does the song
that is played at the end of the Vietnam docufilm "Charlie Mopic
Company".  It sounded like Donovan but i can't tell fro sure.
   Earlier in the film, a Donovan song, "Catch the Wind", could be
heard playing on the Company's radio pack.  Does anyone even
remember this film?  I had seen it a long time ago but I saw it again
on public TV last night. (57 channels.. right?)
   While I'm on the subject of Donovan, does anyone know if his
"Troubadour" set  is any good?  I have some of the titles from it on
a greatest hits CD, but most of the songs are unfamiliar to me.

Jade

PS: Sorry about that last message, but I hate trying to remember what
    I wrote the first time.

Renato and other music lovers:
Here are a couple of the lyrics databases. I can't give an Internet FTP
course here, so if you don't know how to get onto the net and do File
Transfer Protocol, check with your local gurus for advice and
training, or sign up for the Navigating the Internet course, which is
excellent. For those of you who know how, and whose systems have Net
access, here we go:

At your system prompt type  ftp cs.uwp.edu  Whether you can do this from
the system prompt where you are will depend on how your SYSOPs have
set up ftp locally. If it works, log on as anonymous -- you'll be prompted
from there.

The lyrics files are in /pub/music/discog  so once you're on you will
have to give the commmand cd /pub/music/discog to get into that area
of the site. Remember that these are COPYRIGHTED works, so be sure that
your intended uses are within fair use. If you have any doubts, READ
THE COPYRIGHT FILES AT THE SITE!!

You might also try ftp capella.eetech.mcgill.ca   The music files are
in /wuarchive/graphics/gif/b

This info is from the Navigating the Internet course given in August 1992,
so it's possible that file locations and addresses have changed. Happy

I do recall having some.  However, most of these are in my office or at my

Subject:      amy denio and the tone dogs

Prepare for some actual musical content, eh!

I've decided to throw out a calorie soaked reviews of the second release from
the Tone Dogs, _Early Middle Years_.  The Tone Dogs are (woof):

  Fred Chalenor: Guitar, Bass, Kurzweil, Vocals
  Amy Denio: Bass, Buitar, Musette, Alto Sax, Vocals
  Will Dowd: Drums, Electronics

(Yes... that's Amy Denio, the inducer of Bloomie's woodies (and probably woj's
 too)).

This release is like a German bakery (or is it barkery?) -- full of flakey
goodies!  The specials of the day?  Lemme see, you have lot's of gooey
percussive sounds lightly iced with liquid vocals. You should also sample the
fluid bass lines sprinkled with powdered spacey electronics.  Also featured:
funk filled pies with nutty repetitive vocals topped with sugar sweet scat
singing. And don't forget the klezmer turnovers and the little Orbian balls of
beeps, blurps and other ambient sounds.

Sound yummy to you?  Well it is...  :)  My favorite slices include: "Salvatore"
with it's Eno-esque electronics (ala Roxy Music) and reggae-ish beat;
"Tumbling" which features way cool fuzzy guitar sounds, assorted electronic
noises, fluid bass and infectious vocals (plus the "throw me down the laundry
chute" lyrical snippets reminded me of some silly things we did with our cats
when we were kids); a warped version of "Spanish Eyes" complete with clunks and
clangs, scat-like (meow) singing, tempo changes and an interesting choice of
words (probably selected for how they sound instead of what they mean) in the
lyrics; "Waltz" for it's dreamy feel and soothing guitar; "Traffic Island
Psycho" and "Major Minor" which feature playful and slick guitar and bass licks
(*slurp*); "Good A.M." which can play me awake any old morning; and "Three Fell
Swoops" because I like the Orb.   :)

High calorie listening folks!!  And it won't put inches on you (unless you're
MHB's woody).     ;)

Unfortunately, this stuff is probably hard to find... jump in Michael... :)

Subject:      Re: PRINCE & NPG

It's pretty cool that Prince turned me onto funk back in 1984.

I was a hardcore hard rock fan up to that point, with Van Halen,
Ozzy, Led Zep, AC/DC, Y and T, The Who, Rush, Black Sabbath, and
Dio doing the right thing for me.  You might say I was a musically
depraved child.  I loved guitar solos with a passion.
When I heard the opening line of "When Doves Cry", with its wailing
fuzz solo, I was amazed that funk was finally turning itself onto
that sound.  I was only partly right.  Prince managed to meld
the rock genre of the times with the techno-funk of the times.
It was something totally new to me.  I think _Purple Rain_, _1999_,
_Around the World in a Day_ (most of it), _Parade_, and the
_Black Album_ are my faves. I don't care too much for the happy,
shiny fluff he's been putting out for the past few albums ("U Got the Look",
"Glam Slam", "Batdance", etc.).  I haven't heard much of the
latest album, but it had better be BADD!  I'm losing my patience
with the purple rude boy.

Maybe it's because I'm listening to other things now, like world music.

Hey, does anyone know about Prince and Miles Davis hooking up before
Miles' death?  I heard that they did a recording session together, and that
an album is to be released soon....

As far as suggestions go, I may be able to get an address for you but if you are
    arranging things by ear, try to tape record the arranging sessions with the
group.
        Right now, (well not precisely right now but in this general stage in
life) I am in an Acappella group that arranges by ear.  There are definite
limitations that can be had with a group like this but if you have limited
musicianship to contend with, I'm afraid this my have to do.

 Sometimes I feel like checking out
 I wanna get it wrong
 Can't always be strong
 And love it won't be long ..." - U2
