Actually, I recall hearing someone in the audience shout something but it 
seemed to have been muffled, as if the track was attempted to be cut.  Didn't
sound like a scream of alright or possibly a blip of the audience cheering but
a single man showing his disapproval.

BTW, I believe "Fight the real enemy" is what she actually said after tearing
up the Pope's picture.  Guess nothing's sacred anymore....

  I read somewhere that a 50's doo-wop hit by the Medallions (forget the

that Steve did make it up, and as Dave Barry wrote, that must be why some

Isn't it amusing how all the "altenative" crowd does is conform to a different
standard ? They all end up looking and sounding alike ! How inovative.

I have some neighbors who apparently find anything that sounds musically "poor"
to be "alternative" and would like to be associated with it. Don't give me no
bullshit, it's not only a matter of personal opinion. I don't like to listen
to Bach or other classical masters, but I think it is clear that what they did 
is musically "good". I wonder if what people like about these hardcore thrash 
isn't simply that anyone that appreciates good music doesn't like them. If its
the spirit of rebellion that it is interesting, then listen to early Sex 
Pistols. It can be done without throwing out the "music".

So stop whining and realize a look, an attitude, or an atmosphere is a very 
superficial thing that anyone can have. Being a good musician like Ian Anderson
is a very different thing.

This was a class project/demo while the Dregs were at The University of
Miami.  All songs have been re-recorded on other Dregs/Steve Morse disks
except one song which was done on a Kansas disc.  There is NO chance
that it will be re-released.  Only 250 (?) were originally pressed and
are collectors items. I belive they are worth about $250 (a lot
of money for a Dregs record).

It's a code. When you throw the thing on a xerox machine and scan it,
the colours shift to either dark of light. As the iD design people did
the Real World record series, all albums on the label have that same
scheme. Most people think it's merely visual style. However, when you
take all the Real World Releases and xerox/scan the spines and arrange
them in numerical order [reading the spine bands top to bottom], the 
patterns of lights [expressed as 1s] and zeros [expressed as 0s] line
up to form the binary portion of an ascii text. Judging by the releases
so far [what seems to be sort of common colour schemes are actually the
ascii character for "-"], it would appear to be a bank account number.
Probably the secret account where los Reaganistos left all that Iran-Contra
slushgold that they couldn't publicly admit to still having [uh...it was
ah....*lost*.]. It only stands to reason that someone with the obvious
anarcho-syndicalist leanings of Mr. Gabriel would become a party to this
complex bit of pop culture as code.

A number of us who you may know as "net gods" [I *did* get in. Hoorah.]
have all banded together to split the task of acquiring the complete
Real World catalog amongst ourselves. Erland has gone for the European
releases [Maire Boine Persson, Dmitri Pokovski [sp?]], Al Crawford is
acquiring anything with some electronics in them [the recent Shaila Chandra
and Passion and Gabble], and I'm buying up the stuff that no one else 
wants [NF Ali Khan, the Royal Cambodian ensemble, etc.]. At some time,
we will be meeting up on the train platform in Berne on a sunny afternoon
and making the leisurely stroll through the underground mall, past the
ruins of the old city fortification, and up into the sunlight for the
3 block walk to the bank. We will be wearing our best clothing and all
sporting enamelled "Eno is G*d" pins on our lapels. Thereafter, it's off
to Monte Carlo courtesy of the Gipper's failed foreign policy gone awry.

Start xeroxing [but remember, you've got to have the original artwork
version of the Mahabharata soundtrack *and* the "Compact Real World"
*promo* edition....

This was written by Woody Guthrie. I don't know when; I'd guess in the  
fifties. I'm sure he performed it, but I've never heard a Woody version on  
record. The most popular version was probably the one by the Animals from  
the mid-sixties.

Hi there Crowded House fans, I have some questions!

As a relatively new fan of the band I was thrilled to see them on
the BBC's "Top of the Pops" show last night. They performed "It's Only
Natural" from the "Woodface" album.

The presentor mentioned that they were already working on their
next album, due out next summer. Great news!

There were only three of them in the band though. My copy
of Woodface mentions four band members. I figured out that the
missing member was Tim Finn. My first question is: has he left the band
or is he on holiday or something? I happened to see once on the
"Upcoming Releases" that he had a record coming out. Does anyone
know anything about this?

Lastly, I'd really appreciate a Crowded House discography, as well
as some background to the band if possible.

I prefer mail as I don't read this newgroup very often.

Thanks,

Mark

Yes!  The Flying Pickets did this on their album "Lost Boys".  It's
almost astonishing.  Their cover of Springsteen's "Factory" is even
better - they sing in fully fleshed out _chords_, and damned well.
The album could be hard to find, and I don't know if they've ever

	The sad thing is R.E.M seem bland and totally uninspiring...even

	Maybe it really is asking too much for a band to have their mass

	I'm not really into this "I'm a long time fan and your not" argument

	so many people who were there purely because R.E.M were the band that

Thinking of the Stairs, I can't help thinking 'bout the La's, another

contains full of pure-rock-spirits(though they are not so good at
their instruments...). The guitarlist and vocalist Lee Mavers(spell

I didn't go to see their live last year......

I've heard that the La's has almost broken. Is it true?
I want them to record again a magnificient album. I hope they kam

All I can do now is to listen their 1st-and-only LP and
