American Pie is about Buddy Holly's death, not Elvis' (was written at
least 5 yrs before Elvis' anyway). Indeed, part of the point was that
Don liked Buddy while all the other kids liked Elvis. Check for
references to Jimmy Dean, the Beatles, Janis Joplin, and others.

Eitsch, here we go again. Another obnoxious post by someone
who wants to know something, that only concerns him, and was
best kept bothering only the ones it concerns:

Does the name Christina Applegate mean/say anything to you? Is/was
there a person by this name, who is the slightest bit famous;
if so, why?

All I know is, that I believe I've heard it before, but can't
remember where&when. 
   P.M.Dawn's CD 'Of the Heart, the Soul & the Cross'
(I have it at home, don't remember the title, but it's certainly
'Of the x, the y and the z'...) contains a song called
'Set adrift by a memory bliss', wherein this name appears.

I should be sorry to bother you, but I guess I have no shame.

Hi.(!)

No, it was "Smashed! Blocked!".  I'm told it was a huge hit in the LA area,
and I personally recall having heard it several times on WPTR in Albany, NY.
Just barely missed the Hot 100 nationwide, which was typical for regional hits
that never caught on elsewhere.

PS: WPTR (1540-AM) had a playlist of 200-300 songs back when "Top 40" really
meant "Top 15".  They changed from rock to C&W about 15 years ago (and today
are all talk/news/sports) but to this day I reserve a preset in their honor

And if you're unlucky, they'll use the wrong set of master tapes completely,
as they did on several of the Mike Oldfield reissues.  The original LP mix
of _Hergest Ridge_ *still* isn't available on CD anywhere I know of; Virgin
used the remixed _Boxed_ masters for both the US and UK reissues.  (Then they
turned around and used the original LP versions of "Tubular Bells Part 1" and
"Ommadawn Part 2" in _Boxed_ instead of the remixes . . . sheesh!)

If T42 is the dreaded Dallas band, avoid at all costs.  Really bad,
unoriginal dance/synth/pop.  I had heard that T99 was good techno, so
I bought a used copy of _CoC_.  Between this tripe and compilations
titled _Techno is not Dead_, I'm about ready to give up on techno.  If
you just want more of the same old techno (and ooh! it's fast so it must
be good, huh?) then T99 will do the trick.  I thought it was pretty hokey,
just another generic genre entry.  It's something you can easily find at
Sound Whorehouse the day after your first time at Rave Night at an Alter-
native Club.  Techno on Columbia, whaddya expect?

Thanks. I'll have to remember to yawn the next time I listen to my

What's wrong? REM not "rawk 'n' roll" (sic) enough for you these days?

Sure, Murmur is a gem, and is a constant feature on my "Desert Island

I personally would be a bit disappointed.

"Passion Sources" was released on the Real World label (I'm pretty sure) and
was generally not stocked in your average RecordTown/TapeWorld/Strawberries/
[insert local chain here] store. I would suggest you look for a larger or 
more diverse record store which has a 'world music' (or similar) section. As
I recall, the times that I saw it in stock, that's where it was found.

My boyfriend and I have been enthralled by PASSION since it came out. He buys
all sorts of stuff on Peter Gabriel's REALWORLD label, which is usually in 
the World Music section of your record store. I just like Peter Gabriel's 
popularisation of the world music that he gets on to the label. For example,
we finally found PASSION SOURCES at Aron's in Hollywood (Los Angeles) a few
months ago and he liked it, but I didn't. It's the raw music that Peter Gabriel
heard in his travels and used as a starting point to produce PASSION. It sounded
too different for me.

I do like some of the sources PG used. For example, Nusrat Fateh Ali-Khan is
great, but after a few listens one does tend to get tired of it.

However, PG's new album US [heard a bit of it today; I work at a college radio
station] is REALLY COOL and sounds a lot more like PASSION. It's on sale 
tomorrrow 9/29 in the USA.

I have to agree. There is no way that could have played to a New York
audience without a booo or snicker. I was hoping she'd do the best song
off "Am I Not Your Girl?", Monroe's "I Want To be Loved By You", and keep
the obsessive politics to Amnesty International. Maybe the song was shot
backstage or something. I think she really could have made a scathing
stab at a host of issues by sitting in for the Brian Wilson character on
the "Larry King" skit. Can you imagine, "This Larry King LIVE with Sinnn-

If you read it in rec.games.trivia, then you heard it from me.  The song
is "The Letter," which the Medallions recorded in 1954.  Much of the song
is spoken, as is the part in which the lead singer says:

	And discuss the pompitous of love

If you heard it from someone/somewhere else, I guess that means someone
else has heard that song.

The Virgin Realworld series is quite a diverse collection of world music, so
attempting to classify the whole lot is rather pointless.  If you are a big
Gabriel fan (and even if not) you might enjoy the album "Exile" by Ugandan
folk singer Geoffrey Oryema (1990).  I've found this to be one of the most
interesting and enjoyable of the Realworld offerings.  Oryema plays
traditional african instruments such as the thumb piano and nanga (an 8 string
harp) as well as guitar and other instruments.  The album was produced by
Brian Eno and both Eno and Peter Gabriel appear on it.

There is a certain amount of Gabriel/Enoesque production to the recording but
Eno generally allows Oryema's music to retain it's authenticity and feeling
without overproducing the hell out of it (such as Gabriel did with Youssou
N'Dour's "The Lion").  Oryema nicely blends african folk elements with more
familiar western phrases.  It's quite a stirring record.

 After having seen the video quite a few times, I was under the impression
 that Jeremy shoots all of his classmates at the end of the video, that's
 what it looked like to me. But the other day I was discussing the video
 and he said that Jeremy kills himself at the end, and the blood on his
 classmates is his blood. After mentioning it to several other friends,
 we were split on what really happens.. What does anyone else think? (I know
 there's probably no definitive answer, unless one of the members of Pearl
 Jam has mentioned it in an interview or something)..
