Subject: Power Pop and Moby Grape

Organization: University Of Kentucky, Dept. of Math Sciences
X-Bytes: 

    The recent discussion of Power Pop sent me back to listen
  to my Moby Grape records ("Moby Grape" and "20 Granite Creek").
  In many ways, Moby Grape was just an archetypal San Francisco
  band with goopy lyrics: "Come on in, people/ We're gonna tell
  you about good dreams/ And things to make you happy" Arrrgggh!
  But, of course, they weren't. For one thing stories of their
  internal clashes and battling egos were the stuff of legend.
  They released 5 (count 'em) singles off their first album, only
  one of which ("Omaha") made it out of San Francisco. During one
  of their break-ups (so the rumour goes) one of their members,
  (at the height of the Viet-Nam war) headed down the coast to
  join the Marines but was subsequently bounced for _fighting_!
  An odd collection. Plus, despite the aggregate bulk of their
  self-esteem, they had a problem with song writing: much of it
  stank.  (Which isn't too surprising, 80% of everything stinks.)

  Still, they're my favorite group from the era. The famous Moby
  Grape buzz sets their sound off (there's always an unaccountable
  hum in their sound), but there was something else: a loose-limbed,
  can't-keep-inside-the-margins recklessness to their music that is
  unmatched in rock. Not even the shaggiest of Greatful Dead rambles
  keeps up. At it's best ("Omaha", "Gypsy Wedding", "Going Down to Texas",
  "Fall On You" ) their music sounds like nobody else...unless Bob Mosley's
  BB King-on-acid delivery counts. Their music sounds a little like what a
  12 year old Peter Max would sound like if Peter Max had been unable to
  decide between a career in jazz and a career filling helium balloons. It
  has a snap to it that couldn't come from amateurs but a hope-they-all-
  finish-together quality that couldn't come from anyone else.
  Their arrangements sound less like "head arrangements" and more
  like "I'll head over this way" arrangements. In other words: boundless,
  who'd-a-thunk-it bravado. If take-no-prisoners skateboarding were music, 
  this is what it would sound like.

Here are the lyrics to YES' TEMPUS FUGIT that were requested. If
someone else already posted these, then I'm sorry, but I haven't
noticed them as of April 16th ....


TEMPUS FUGIT     (YES 1980)
---------------------------

Born in the night
She would run like a leopard
that freaks at the sight
of a mind close beside herself
and the nearer I came
how the country would change
she was using the landscape
to hide herself

More in the mind
than the body this feeling
a sense at the end
of a circular line
that is drawn at an angle
I see when I'm with you
to navigate waters and finally answer to yes.

If you were there you would want to be near me
Innocence, you could hold the materials
And tho' nothing would really be living
It would shock your fall into landing light
In the North sky time flies
fast to the morning
The cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us
You were keeping your best situation an answer to yes

And the moment I see you
It's so good to be near you
And the feeling you give me
Makes me want to be with you
From the moment you tell me yes.

If I wait for an answer
Will the silence be broken
Do we wait for an answer
Do we leave it unspoken.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=*

Yes.  His last album, _Brick by Brick_, is quite diverse.  What I mean 
is, there are several styles spread over the album, which is odd with
Iggy; most of his past material didn't move to far from the center, so 
to speak.  Slash and Izzy play on _Brick by Brick_ and the entire 
album is quite good.

In 88 or 89 he did _Instinct_; a heavy album; guitar and drum driven.  
It is much heavier than _Brick by Brick_.  The track `Cold Metal' may 
be familiar to you. Very abrasive album.

In 1986, Iggy and pal Dave Bowie produced a pop album that is 
completely listenable.  `Cry for Love', `Isolation'. and `Real Wild 
Child' were the singles. (In my opinion, Iggy does a helluva lot 
better job on `Child' than Christopher O, son of Rick)  This is a 
pretty cool album, especially the title track, _Blah Blah Blah_.  I'd 
recommend this if you are not familiar with ANY of his stuff.  This 
album is lightweight.

In 1982, there was _Zombie Birdhouse_.  No oomph on this album.  Skip 
it.  Very odd style.

In 1976-77, Iggy and Bowie recorded 2 albums for Iggy called _The 
Idiot_ and another called _Lust For Life_.  The idiot isn't so great, 
except for the tune `Sister Midnight'.  _Lust For Life_ on the other 
hand, is FANTASTIC!  Bowie's prsent Bandmates from Tin Machine, Hunt 
and Tony Sales (drummer, bassist) play on this album with Bowie 
(piano), Ricky Gardiner and Carlos Alomar (guitars).  The songs `Lust 
for Life', `Sweet Sixteen', `Some Weird Sin' and `The Passenger' are 
all classics.  (In 1984, Bowie recorded an album called _Tonight_: on 
it were two tunes `Tonight' and `Neighbour Threat'.  These two songs 
come from Iggy's _Lust For Life_ album.  Iggy's versions are better; 
they are meatier)  This is a rockin album, whereas _The Idiot_ is 
disco/crap. (ahem...thats my opinion of course, sorry)

The 1976-77 albums have just been re-released on CD, cheap.  Iggy is 
not your run of the mill artist.  In an interview from 1986 with Terry 
David Muligan, he said he had made all the mistakes one could ever 
make in life and was still making 'em.  That 1986 album, _Blah Blah 
Blah_ was his big one.  It did very well.  He IS, to some degree, a 
Bowie Clone on this album.

He and Bowie met in the early 70's.  Iggy was with The Stooges and 
addicted to heroin.  He and Dave moved to Berlin in 1975/76 and 
cleaned themselves up.  They are close friends; but worlds apart, man.
BTW, Iggy is a damn fine song writer.  His style is not Springteen, 
its more behind the door, just outa the gutter with no clean syringe 
type of stuff.

-Good Luck

rec.music.format intrigues me since the new digital formats are coming,
but it sounds more like a spinoff of rec.audio than rec.music.

I think rec.music.cd is a perfectly descriptive name.
It's such a great consumer format, I think it deserves its own group.

Sunk so low? Along with James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, John

I also believe he had a speaking part. He was in the Blues Brothers band
and they all had a line or two in the movie

Yeah, Rabin really knows how to take charge. Alot of people are
annoyed that YES no longer do tracks like CLOSE TO THE EDGE and
GATES OF DELIRIUM. However this is not solely Rabin's fault. YES
would not let one particular member walk all over them, they are too
experienced for that.

In the YESYEARS home video (AVISION ENTERTAINMENT) Anderson mentions
GATES OF DELIRIUM being entirely his work, and it's kind of amusing,
as much as I love Anderson, to see him gloating so pompously... so
British. Much like Bruford.


Has anyone heard Alan White's RAMSHACKLED album (1975)? I heard it

   I got the Crash Test Dummyies' CD several months ago, and was impressed
with their sound.  In answer to your question, the CTDs are from Canada, where
they have released several albums in past years.  They are very popular up
there, which is why they decided to finally release an album in America.  I
have heard that they will be releasing another album either this year or early
next.  Hopefully I will be going to a free concert of theirs in Eugene,
Oregon, on April 22nd.  That should be a blast.

  I agree with you completely. With the possible exception of Phil Collins 
these people cannot seriously call themselves musicians. Everything is done by
computer, and they do nothing but look good!
  I did make a comment here a while back about Guns n Roses not knowing how
to play their instruments, and I realize now that this was totally out of  
line. They probably know what they're doing, it just happens that I don't like
_what_ they're doing. But that's my opinion, and you have yours. I've gotten
out of hand here lately (as well as many others, though) and I apologize. There
is no need for us to keep yelling back and forth at each other about which
bands are best and which suck-- it gets us nowhere. Let my mistakes be a lesson
to us all! But I do want to say once again that I am not responsible for any
of the quoted material above-- that was somebody else.
  By the way, I listen to Yes (whom you may or may not care for), who happen
to play all of their music with real instruments, as well. 

  Thanks for listening!

Yeah, you should've seen the band hangin' ten down at Brighton.

If you want to check out Surf Music, you might check into the recent Dick
Dale reissue, or hunt down the Rhino 4-LP set that came out in the early
80's.  There are also a number of CD issues available.  Bear Family (out
of Germany) has issued two excellent 2-LP-on-1-CD compilations from The
Astronauts--but they're expensive.  You might also check out the "Surf
Legends" CD on the Garland label, or look for the reissue of The Rumblers
LP "Boss".  There are several other compilation CD's with all the classic
surf bands/tracks on them.  Check the rock-collections section at your
local Tower (if you have one).

Value judgments aside, I think everyone can agree that this band's sound
changed quite a bit after "wind & wuthering".  It seemed to coincide with
Steve Hackett's departure.  I'm just wondering, did he leave because of the
change?  Or did his leaving cause the change?

Always intrigued me,

I used to think that Squire, Anderson and Wakeman were the driving
forces behind Yes.  After listening to much solo work, I now realize
that although Jon writes much of the lyrics, the music usually comes
from Squire, Howe, and Rabin.  Of course (as he is fond of mentioning

Is the song "Is Anybody Listening?" fairly representative of what
Queensryche is like? I have seen this video repetitively on MTV
as of late, and was wondering if  the rest of Queensryche's stuff
is like that, both musically and lyrically?

Any answers, or a brief "Queensryche primer" would be appreciated, as
I know next to nothing about that group.

Thanks.
