Date: 11 Oct 92 14:03:40 +1000
Organization: University of New South Wales

Got Filthy Lucre's remixes of Hunters and Collectors' "Talking to a 
Stranger" yesterday... sort of liked it... 
Basically they've taken the guitar riff and Mark's singing,
and the horn bit on a few tracks, and created a fairly
techno track, but not too severe, tho' more danceable
than the 'Head Abuv Water' remixes... Theres 6 tracks on it
and goes for about 30 minutes. I like the 'Blue Singlet Mix'
version best. What do others think?

(If your having trouble finding it its under 'F' for Filthy
Lucre and not 'H' for Hunners, and its MAUVE... )

I saw L7 at Selinas last night - and a fun night it was indeed. Surprisingly
there were 3 supports (I thought that, as it was a tuesday, they'd want
everyone out early) and L7 weren't on till well after 11. I missed the first
band. The New Christs were on 2nd and were pretty silly - they were all
over the place, but looked like they were making the best of it and having
fun. I was particularly amused by the lead singer who looked like he
wanted to be Iggy Pop in his too-tight balck jeans, swaying around the
mike stand and gulping from a bottle of vodka between lines.

The next bands were the Cosmic Psychos - those working class boys from 
Victoria with all their noise and their sensitive lyrics (like "D-d-d-dead 
Roo!", and "Pub", and the one that was supposed to be for "everyone who's
in love" with lyrics like "you fucked all my friends" )  Some great bass
sounds and  one of those drummers who manages to be completely manic and
sing a few songs at the same time. The Psychos were appreciatively recieved
by the crowd and tributed later when L7 covered one of their songs for an
encore.

L7 kept the crowd waiting for a while - claiming when they finally turned up
that they'd been at the Chilli Peppers (though they didn't seem to have
brought any Chilli Peppers back with them, as was rumored). They launched
straight into a wild barrage of guitars and flailing hair along with plenty
of gratuitous screaming and strutting. They were certainly impressive - 
one guitarist (unfortunately I don't know any names) was wearing cutoff
jeans and a bra - all the better to see the tattoo that covered her entire
back. Tangled hair and running mascara completed the whole wild woman look,
and she was the one to jump off the stage (hastily rescued by protective
security guards) at the end of the night. Lots of attitude and a kicked over
drum kit at the end completed the show from these american gals who
"just wanna rock out". They've got the look, they've got the moves, they've
got the sounds... and man, it looked like fun!

Just to add something:-

Brian May has done the acoustic version but there is a Queen version of
this song that will be released soon (how soon I don't know).

The Queen version is apparently quite different with Freddie doing the
vocals.

	I have never been a very big fan (other than unguarded moment)

carisle and barkley sts) am even less so.  I am still not sure whether 
they had different songs or just one long one with stops in it.
	very dull	3/10
	incedently those three points are for the guitarist on the audiences
right - who was at least a bit entertaining.

	Steve Cummings

	with local heros shane o'mara, bill ? (bass) and Rebecca at the gerswin
room at the palace.  They had acoustic guitars - but thanks to shane managed not
to sound like it at all times.  Plenty of phaser and wah.  I am shocked to think
I could enjoy a band with no drums - but they went ok - in the funkier songs.
Of course they did some offensively boring tunes - but you can't hold back the
acoustic's will all night.
	OK 6/10

	Kim Salmon and the surealists
	
	not sure if the name's right.  They were playing in the front room at
the palace last night and they were damn entertaining.
	I was laughing the whole time - but in genuine enjoyment (not mocking).
Buckets of wah. Buckets of attitude. put the church to shame.
They were so good I saw more of them than cummings even though I had to pay
to see him.

I'm surprised that happened!  Some record shops still appear nervous with their
freshly imported o/s acts - maybe the law got bounced back again & parallel
importation of o/s artists is still illegal?

Anyone know the latest?

I assure you it was a bass - I was about 2 metres from it.  Do you remember
Old Flame (which was amazing btw), he was playing that up pretty high - I
didn't realise it was played on a bass - but it wasn't high enough to make
it a guitar, and the bass in Chaos was pretty bassy I think.  I don't think
the bass was weedy either..

Nigel Lord, in his "On the Beat" rhythm programming series in Music Technology
magazine had an issue a couple of years ago(?) devoted to unusual time
signatures with examples of 5/4, 7/4, 9/4, 11/4, 13/4 and 15/4 beats. Some
of them were rather deceptive. I shoved a 7/4 beat into the Atari, added a
synth bass, string pad and played some crappy guitar over the top and voila!, 
instant ambient instrumental. Try dancing to it though...

BTW Genesis (bless their dinosaur hearts) used some interesting rhythms
(if you can call anything by Genesis "interesting"), for example, leaving 
out the last beat in every second bar, 9/4 rhythms etc. This was before they found a dance market (ha!). 

Still, nothing beats the old techno 4/4 kick with off-beat 808 hihat...

We're not overly political.  We're a FUN CLUB, that's what I said in the
