Father and Pistol dates, I think, from 1989 or early 1990. It's the
followup to "Passepied", but holds down the number of ah "remakes" of
western art songs. There's the title cut, and another tune in German
about an asylum or sanatorium [sorry, forgot the German author, but it's
almost certainly one of those late 19th century fin-de-siecle thangs].
The rest is a bit more in the vein of MK's "Boy Soprano" work. I was
personally hoping for some more of that rai/house stuff like "Nokto de
la Cattelya", but this has the same sense of distance as the classical
stuff on "Passepied." Haruomi Hosono producing, as usual. Since I don't
imagine you program much in the way of 19th century art songs [although
you should give the Akiko Yano "Brooch" album a try. Your bushpersons
should love it], Passepied might be of slightly less interest, unless
you're looking for Synclavier versions of those great classics "The 
Typewriter Song" "The Pizzicato Polka" [so au courant during the winter
Olympics] and "Impromptu" on the same disc!

There's also a release of her much earlier work [pre "Boy Soprano"]
kicking about called "Toy Box," and an almost new work from '91 called
"Shinzo no Ue" [Above the Heart], which I've ordered from Japan but has
thus far not arrived. 

Finally, she does play and sing [a tiny bit] on the soundtrack to the
film "Nokto de la Galaksia Fervojo" with Hosono. Perhaps not enough to
be of great interest to your programming, though.

You might be able to order these recordings through Sound City 2000 in
Portland [they used to be called Overseas Shopper]. It's a "pay us and
we order and they send it to you in th States" thing, but I've had
pretty good luck with them. They're at 503-654-2196. Be warned, though:
this stuff ain't cheap, however wonderful it may be.

For order of acquisition, I'd recommend

1. Father and Pistol
2. Boy Soprano
3. Passepied
4. Toy Box

and you can maybe quit at #2 and feel sated. I hope this is of some aid.

was number one based on one person voting 10 times for it) completely, and
RHCP debuted at number one.  The hot new release by Def Leppard ("Let's get 
rocked") might be a song to keep an eye on.  Please keep voting from week

   Their second album has infact been out in France for a while, and is
called "Les Familles Heureuses."  I think these guys are probably the

  You're thinking of Mano Negra.  I would agree with your observation,
but leave out Indochine (just my personal taste).

 From just the bands that I have seen mudhoney don't give a fuck what you do.
 Janes Addiction seemed to like it at first but when it became non-stop they
  seemed to get a little pissed off.
  At one of the nirvana concerts that I went to when they toured australia
a dick headed bouncer got really rough with a diver.Kurt stopped sining jumped
off the stage and started telling the bouncer off.Now that was really
cool.There is nothing worse than a bounce who gets it into his head that he has
power and then uses that power to beat up the crowd.
Speaking of attitude bouncers I know someone who was thrown off a stage during
a henry rollins singing with the hard-ons concert he hit the ground unconcious
and had to go to hospital with concussion.

Jello doen't mind diving and audience participation in fact he love it.

Was this REALLY sung by Cruise?  This movie was from 1975 or earlier and I
heard the story that Lynch heard Julee Cruise's voice in a commercial and
loved it so much that he asked her to sing for the TP soundtrack.

For all you collectors, on the vinyl version (yes we don't all have CDs!) there was a limited edition single supplied. It contained 2 instrumental tracks, imaginatively titled "Instrumental 1" and "Instrumental 2". They're OK, not brilliant.
Furthermore, all this discussion about sound quality ---? The best thing about You Make Me Realise is the b-side: (yeah, CDs don't have b-sides...) "Thorn" is COMPLETELY brilliant, and "Drive it all Over [into?] Me" which is also groovy, slightly Primitives-ish. Buy or die.

I think technically this is known as "The Lady in the Radiator Song"
because it's the song sung by the lady in the radiator in David
Lynch's fine film "Eraserhead".

The Pixies used to do it as their final song when they played live
before they got signed by 4AD.

By "out of Minneapolis," I mean that the last time I saw House(Jan. 31
at The Maintenance Shop at ISU) they were introduced as "out of Minneapolis,
formerly from Cedar Falls."  Like The Eclectics who used to be "out of Ames,"
they moved to Minneapolis to be where the real money is and decided it would
be prudent to be "from a music Mecca" rather than a small Iowa university town.
I was talking to the band after the show and the bass player told me that
their new album should be out before too long.  
Maybe if they make it big they'll go back to being "from Iowa.":)

Good question.  Wish I had an answer.

Frankly, my fear is that it may be a long, long time before we get
them back over here; without an American record company to cover
expenses (at least defer them), the money's not there; in addition,
it's not a well-kept secret that Smith isn't all that fond of touring
this country.

I'm told that he lived briefly here in Chicago; does anyone know when
that was?  I assume that was the "inspiration" for "Chicago Now", for
all the light that sheds on the subject.

I have a copy of Bingo Handjob's (a.k.a. R.E.M.) live from the Borderline.
They have a lot of songs from Out of Time, a couple from previous years,
and a few experminents.  All told, the sound quality is pretty decent,
but you have to realize that it wasn't exactly recorded in a studio.
Anyway, if you can afford to grab the two disc set, I'd do it.

..Just out of curiosity, I saw a CB disc in the store called
.._Golgatha_. Is this something new by them? Does anyone
..know howit fits in the spectrum of music they have done?

According to the new Soleil Moon catalog, GOLGOTHA is brand new. It is
described as "epic, haunting, sad..., not a disco thing at all."  Sounds like
a return to their mid-period days, (e.g., Music from the Guilded Chambers,
Songs from the Ashes, etc.)

Also does anyone know the deal with the CB song Healing Time. It appeared on
the LP Music from the Guilded Chambers, then on the Trudge CD, and now its
included as an extra track on the Skin Chamber album. As far as I could tell,
its identical. Maybe they just REALLY like it???

Tom Scholz is in the studio now, which means the next album should be out in
about 327 years.  Just play "More Than a Feeling" 11 times, and it'll seem as

Exact title is: "Famille nombreuse" like the song title.

Other answers to Darko Lisak (who is unknown as lisakd@bnr.ca):
"King of Bongo" is by "La Mano Negra"

Indochine has split. Their last LP is "Birthday album", a compilation including a new song.
