Does anyone know of any groups who are coming to Deer Creek Music Center in
Noblesville (near Indianapolis) IN between April and September 1992? 

Any info on any other smaller venues in northern/central Indiana or the region
(i.e. not the Hoosierdome or Rosemont Horizon) would be welcome.

Oh Lord, here we go again.

If anyone wishes to prove to me that Rap is not "real" music, then please
give me an acceptible definition of "real" music that which excludes rap. 

(Hint:  are drum solos "real" music?  Do they have a "transcriptable melody
line"?  How about Terry Riley's *In C*?  How about Husker Du's "Plans I
Made" (from *New Day Rising*)?)

What everyone is forgetting is that he's such a darling of the music
industry.  He's got a "legendary reputation" and therefore he's a real safe
bet.  He fits into the "adult-contemporary" demographics perfectly.  There's
very little risk for the record company to promote him and peddle his wares.

His visibility has little or nothing to do with what people actually think of

Mr. Bungle is a pretty good band. The lead singer is the same guy from Faith

Here is a sample verse form Travolta the next number one song.
            He's a bird in flight a hemaphrodite,

Now, see?  It's statements like this last sentence that start flamewars.  I
just read EXACTLY the same thing (although the spelling was correct) directed
at someone who trashed Guns 'n' Roses over in alt.rock-n-roll.  Granted that
Phil Collins is very popular, although I must admit that any reasons for this
popularity escape me (my wife likes his music, though).  Still, even if he
has 10 million fans in this country alone, I'd be willing to bet that the
vast MAJORITY of people do NOT like Phil Collins.  In fact, I'll bet that
one could name ANY artist, and the list of people that LIKE the artist
would comprise the minority.  Mr. Troutman may well be in a minority, I don't
know, but if he is it has nothing to do with his feelings toward Phil Collins
or his music.

For your information... Though I am sure you have been told more than once
about this post... Gun's 'N Roses first broke onto the scene as a Club band...
With the release of their Appetite for destruction album... No one was buying
it... None of their songs were getting air play or video play... But some
intelligent person bought the album... Word spread from there and they had sold
over a million copies of Appetite for Destruction before a video was released
for Sweet Child O' Mine... Overrated? Maybe but not to millions of us who
happen to enjoy what they sing... Racist most likely not... They simply relate
the world to their fans as they see it... In fact Slash is half black
himself... Stupid... Now that is a matter of opinion... And if it happens to be
yours, well you probably aren't alone... But seriously out numbered... Sexist
most likely not... Axl writes his lyrics based on experience... So if that is
what you hear then that is what he has experienced... And personally even if
they are racist, I prefer this kind of racism to the kind that is kept in the
closet and allowed to fester within the minds of children... But that is only
my humble opinion... Feel free to VMS me and differ...

I've got the two albums you mention and two others:

North Star:     Music for a ballet. This one is a bit *too* repetitive...

Thin Blue Line: Music for a film. It's not just music, there's almost
                the entire soundtrack including fx and voices.

He has also done a work called 'Music in 12 Pieces' which I haven't
heard. It lasts a full 6 lp's...

This was just from the top of my mind..

I don't know any details of the settlement, but the Brian Wilson album

Don Was of Was (Not Was) fame. The label is being backed by one of

Virtuosity is a fine thing, though people do canonically point at examples
of "mere virtuosity" (once it was McLaughlin, DiMeola, and de Lucia; now
people tend to mention Vai and Satriani), but it's not a requirement for
great music, surely: the first theme of the second movement of Beethoven's
Seventh isn't much harder to play than, say, Neil Young's famous solo
in "Cinnamon Girl." :-)

Alas, there aren't composers writing for amateurs the way there were in,
say, Elizabethan England ("..and when I protested I could not [sing or play
a part in an impromptu after-dinner madrigal group], there were whisperings;
yea, some demanded how I had been brought up..." went a line, if memory
serves, from the intro to a music instruction book of the time by Thomas
Morley).  Perhaps, though, that modern equivalent of such groups, the garage
band, selects good but simple current songs to work on.

Not only this, but their are two Smiths mailing lists and an archive

I heard a version of _Hey Joe_ a few days ago with an accordion (sp?)
or something similar as the lead instrument.
The only artist that came to my mind was _Buckwheat Zydeco_.

Does anybody know who it really is?

PS: No, I didn't like it, I'm just curious.

I guess I don't completely understand the criteria for something to be
"Power Pop".  As much as I hate categories I would've considered Ambrosia, at
least the 1st couple albums to be more, er, well, "art rock" or at least
"art rock wannabees".  Things like "mama frog" kind of sound like a
heavily-THC influenced ELP or something.  Intricate instrument arrangements
but at a more digestable speed, and with more digestable melodies & harmonies.

I thought the 1st album was practically amazing, and still do.  "Somewhere I've
Never Traveled" had a few high points but was, as you say, too bombastic for
me.  After that they steadily became less interesting until they plugged
themselves in as another top-40 formula band.

Comments: What's that blue thing doing here?

The album `Mammals' by `They Might Be Giants' has a track called
`Fingertips' which is a series of short parodies of various musical
styles.  I find it very funny, but am curious about what exactly is
being spoofed.  I'm sure many of the styles are well known to
Americans but unknown here.  Can anyone identify them?

I'm particularly curious about `Please pass the milk, please' which
sounds _so_ reminiscent of something, but I can't think what!

Respond by mail and I'll post a summary.
