Subject: songs with the name "judy" in them
Date: 15 Nov 92 17:39:26 GMT
Organization: swarthmore college

I'm making a birthday tape for a friend of mine and am looking for songs
which have the name Judy or Judith in the title or the lyrics.  So far I've
come up with:

The Buzzcocks-"Mad Mad Judy"
The Ramones-"Judy is a Punk"
The Vibrators- "Judy Says (Knock You in the Head)"
The dB's- "Judy"
Tones on Tail-"Lions"
Bram Tchaikowsky- "Girl of My Dreams"

And from older stuff:

Leslie Gore-"It's My Party"; "Judy's Turn to Cry"
The Beach Boys-"Judee"
John whatshisname-"Judy in Disguise"
(The Beatles-"Hey Jude")
CSNY- "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" (which I refuse to put on...)

Anybody have anything to add to this list? I've also found the following
bands: The Judys, The Judybloom, and The Judybats.  Any help would be
appreciated.

If MBV is good or not really is not the question I am trying to
answer here, but the definition of "alternative" music.  I am not a definitive
arbitor on this or anything though.
(1)  Point,  What is wrong with 14 year olds buying cool music?  Does music
become not good when people not old enough to drink beer legally start
listening to it?  People in Houston will not go to all ages shows
becuase there are to many little kids running around.  Not to long ago I was
a 14 year old kid riding the METRO into Washington DC to go see bands.  Is
DC the only city copasectic (SP?)  for underagers?  If so Ian MacKaye (sp?)
should be put on a pedastal.
(2)  As a testimonial,  the second record I bought was the Velvets Bannanna
record.  I heard it from an older friend of mine.  I have still to buy a Cure
or Smiths record.  Although I really have begun to dig Johnny Marr.

I beg to differ.  Personally, I think that Sonic Youth has lapsed into a
sad state that cannot compare with the urgency of earlier albumns (pre
Sister).  Granted, if you're not a fan of "noise", their sound won't appeal
to you.

Try this test.  Go home and listen to "Goo" off of Goo.  Then listen to any
track from Evol, even "Bubble Gum", or better yet, Bad Moon Rising.  Get my
point?  Though the earlier albums may not have as great a mass appeal, they
created something timeless:  a perfect expression of confusion, pain,
mental tremors, and abandon.  Confusion is Sex is nearly the only album
that I listen to anymore.  I have moved past that point, but it remains a
perfect encapsulation of that period, and I love to revisit it.

I hate to rub it in, but go back and listen to Goo.  "My friend Goo says
PU...Goo Goo Goo..."  Mindless stuff compared to earlier works, which I
find flawless.  I wasn't much impressed with Daydream Nation, and I don't
have much to say about it.  I really just wanted to gripe about Goo, which
I find to be symbolic of their "evolution".  I see noting wrong with bands
dying when they lose their insight and message.

Of course this is all subjective.  

I haven't been brave enough to shell out for the new disk yet, so I won't
make any final statement about their total co-option.

Bob Mould is also influenced by PIXES. Just listen to the track "The good idea"

	My initial reaction to "Are You Normal?" was about the same,
but it's grown on me a lot since.  It doesn't have any classics
like "Grey Cell Green", but it's still a great album.

I have listened to the new Ned's Atomic Bin cd 3 times over.  My
impression thus far is that it isn't as good as "God Fodder".
"Are You Normal?" seems to lack that raw driving energy of "God
Fodder".  Only exception is 'Not Sleeping Around'.  Musically, I
think the two albums are equal.  The main reason that attracted me
to Ned was this "Energy", and I feel that it is missing in "Are

You want a response ok I hate most 70's mainstream rock with a few exceptions
and I didn't live through the 70's musically, but if I wanted to hear 70's
style music I would listen to the real thing.  Pearl Jam has no connections to
70's music besides the like a lot of it, but I can't see it in they're playing.

  I work at the student run station here at UB (WFFT104.9) and I saw a

You should also get the 'You Made Me Realise' EP. The stuff on
this is similaar to that on 'Isn't Anything' but (IMO) the songs
are stronger. In addition it contains thewonderful 'Slow', which is
probably the pinnacle of their work toi date.

The Pogues released an EP earlier in the year.  The title song was
"Honkytonk Women," a cover which appeared on "Yeah yeah yeah yeah 
yeah" -- nothing new. The other three tracks were copyright 1992,
and one was written by MacGowan, which is a good sign.

i agree about Front line Assembly. Bigod 20 have a similar feel to 242 - the
single "The Bog" even has a member from 242 doing the vocals.  
 
other groups in the dance industrial vien:

Coil
Laibach - "Sympathy for the Devil" "Kapital"
KMFDM - Earlier albums are more aggressive/industrial, newer ones are more
        dancy/Nitzer ebb
Greater than One
Anything on the Wax Trax! label...
Hoodlum Priest
Clock DVA - "Bitstream" "Manamplified"
Snog
Brian Eno (I kid you not!) - i have frogotten the album name, the first song is
                             called 'fractal zoom'

Less dancy, but must listen:

I think the Pixies <-> Husker Du/Bob Mould influences are reciprocal. Two
anecdotes: 1) Bob said the Pixies-esque song was a thank you 'cause they
sent him a demo of one of their recent albums 2) Kim Deal joined the band
after seeing a classified looking for a "bass player influenced by Husker
Du and Peter, Paul, and Mary." 

Given the propensity for people in cool bands to lie like hell to
interviewers, either of these may be entirely false. Anyway, I think
