Subject:      lookin' fer a git-box for ma man

  Hello rockheads.

i'm lookin' to buy a telecaster for the Marine
so if anyone is my area is selling one, send me some
email. my area being Providence, boston, Worcester,
Connecticut.

Also, i ran into a Fender Jaguar at a pawn shop
and the guy wanted $990. for it. It looks like
its in good shape...anyone know what the chances
are in getting this guy down to about 600. instead?
(Fred, the pawnmaster, knows guitars, so he knows
that this is a good box)

Also, i saw an ad for a Fender La Brea, black,
and it said it was an accoustic/electric...
Is it anything like a Kramer hollowbody?
Cuz the marine already has one of those, and it
can't hold a tune, so he wants something else.

SO, there are all my questions. I know you all know
this stuff, so lets here it. Make sure, please, if
you don't mail it to me directly, that you put
something recognizable in the header so i don't
wizz past it when slogging through the drivel.

Oh, and if you have any suggestions as to where
to go to find a tele or any other hip guitar,
send dem suggestions along.

And have i mentioned how good the new Los Lobos is?

And the answer is: Harry Breuer (and in his Quintet) is described in the

(and the list goes on, and on).  Anyway, I picked up this gem of an LP yesterda

_Mallet Magic_ (Audio Fidelity, 1825), and looks to be from the late 50s.
Copy looks pristine mind, and contains -- though I haven't heard them --
such timeless classics as "Mosquito's Parade March,"  "Bumble Bee Bolero,"
(Sonia, do you want to boogie with me?), "Samba Macabre," and "Glockenspiel
Gavotte."  Cannot wait to get this baby on the turntable and give it a listen.

Marc -
Let me be the first to welcome you to the list. They aren't big a cappella
fans on here, but they're learning. I, however, am an immense a cappella
fan! (meaning I love the music, not that I'm extremely large...I'm not
small, but I'm not immense...whatever.)

First of all, I don't know where you get a cappella arrangements. I'm sure
you've tried the commercial sheet music...it sucks! They kill everything -
take all the soul out of it. A good musical director can futz with it, but
it amounts to arranging in the end...

The best way to do it is to trade with someone like me, who arranges a bit.
I am willing to trade on a few conditions...First, any album my stuff gets
used on gets credited, Second, we also trade tapes/CDs of your group with
stuff from my collection! (Provided you want any of my stuff - if not, I
buy stuff from you.

I sang in a co-ed group undergrad and work with a co-ed group here, but I
love all types of a cappella. Please write, and I'll do my best to be of
help!

Again, Welcome!

Subject:      Plaster penises, Pareles and Panning Sinead

From my favorite column in the _Reader_ ("News of the Weird" by Chuck Shepherd)
, 11/20/92:
           "Sculptress Cynthia Plaster Caster, who creates plaster-of-paris mod
els of rock stars' penises, has recently been battling music mogul Herb Cohen o
ver the ownership of 25 of her gems, including a cast of Jimi Hendrix's penis.
 In May several local bands staged a benefit concert at [Cabaret] Metro ("Hard
Aid") to help her with her legal fees."

            Wow!! Talk about the fetishism of commodities.  Marx would have bee
n impressed.  Leaving aside what one might do with such collection, or how one
might display it and describe it ("And that little one over there..."), this ma
tter invites memmorable titles that Libby Doe might find enticing: Muddy Waters
(_Hard Again_), Dust (_Hard Attack_), Pirates (_Hard Ride), Gang of Four (_Hard
_), and The Pyramids (_Penetration_).  I'm certain you have other faves.

            (P.S. I guess that when the air clears, we'll find out whether Cynt
hia or Herb has the biggest one.)

On Pareles: Michael, I'm amazed at you calling him perceptive.  He's a ponderou
s, pompous, pain in the posterior.  Let's just take any of his columns at rando
m during the next couple months and analyze them seriously for content.  I only
 read his stuff in the NYT; perhaps he writes in other publications, and he's b
etter there, but I, for one, am not impressed. (BTW, I don't mind wordiness, su
ffering from it myself, but when I finish reading something, I do want it to
say something intelligent and, if not, at least interesting.  Fortunately, I do
n't write for the broad public, as I would fail on both counts.)

On Sinead: (And this is why I just love WXRT). _Xpress_, the quarterly publicat
ion of this local station, in its "Xmas" rubric "Stuff These in Your Stocking,"
snides: "Is that a lump of coal in my stocking, or is it the new Sinead...album
? [stufd deleted] Did we really need a Sinead O'Connor version of Andrew
Lloyd Webber's 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina?' Eesh. Avoit it."

And this woman is going to try her hand at opera?  She couldn't even get a bit
part in the musical version of "The Mouse That Roared."!

Oh, drat, I forgot one in my "review" -- I'll try to do a song-by-song
pretty soon or do more justice to it anyway -- best group: the Bobs!
Or is it the Nylons?  Or...

Yeah, you're right, Marsha, the song I hate is "Heaven". Once you
hear the first eight note, you've heard the song.  If you miss the
first eight notes, don't worry, you're going to hear them again!
A lot!  Changing one note does *NOT* turn an "A" section into a "B"
section if nothing else happens in the song.  Maybe I was just
feeling bitchy when I heard it.  And that song was surrounded by
some real gems, if I remember correctly.

You're also right about the arrangement of "And So It Goes".  Repeat
signs do not a memorable arrangement make.  It's a shame that had to
happen to such a wonderful song.

Got the Queensryche _Building Empires_ video this weekend.  Most of the
stuff on the video is songs from _Empire_ but there are a couple of
exceptions: "The Lady Wore Black", "Close to You", "I Will Remember"
(the latter from their _Unplugged_ performance) and a couple of
others.  They also had some live concert footage from the _Empire_ tour.
"The Thin Line" is a real standout here -- much better in concert than
on the album.

Very few surprises -- an unreleased video of "Another Rainy Night"
which was IMHO better than the one they showed on MTV (both are
included) and a song from the _Live In Tokyo_ boot.

It's a pity that they included "Della Brown" from _Unplugged_ since I
thought that was one of their weakest performances of "Della".  I would
much rather have seen their _Unplugged_ version of "The Lady Wore Black".
Also, the video of "Anybody Listening?" is the truncated version with
the fade on the end.

Still, even with the quibbles, it's definitely 1.5 thumbs up on this one.

Yep, ya missed one... but most of the bands you named don't really have a

These two discs are live sets from the 1992 tour. I have yet to hear it, as I
really wasn't impressed enough by the track list to brave the rain and snow to
purchase it (Plus the fact that I have no money). Tommorow I'm going to the
local music shop to trade 15-20 discs. If I have enough credit left over after
buying the Pink Floyd box set I may pick it up.

IMHO Domino was one of the few good songs they produced from the 80's. I still
prefer 70's Genesis. The visuals they used during the performance on this tour
were incredible. Hopefully they'll release the full concert (Not just Phil's
generic pop shit) on video.

Subject:      The Buckethead Brigade

   The following is a short (?) review of the Praxis CD _Transmutation
(Mutatis Mutandis)_.  Thanks to "n.n." for recommending this.

   (Praxis is Bootsy Collins (bass and vocals), Bernie Worrell (keyboards),
Buckethead (guitar), Brain (drums), and AF Next Man Flip (turntable,
mixer).)

   This is a music of contrast -- a combination of space/funk/jazz/metal.
It's like a funkified Eno/Fripp thing with the Bill Laswell touch o' hard
rock (Laswell conceived and produced the CD, and co-wrote several tunes).
A Parliamenofunkafrippwell production, if you will (that one's for you
Sonia :*)  The structure of the individual tunes is used to good affect to
show the different styles that the group embraces.  (Most of the tunes go
through various tempo/stylistic changes and have a fair amount of solo
space.)

   A perfect example of the nature of the CD is the tune "Animal Behavior".
Bootsy is very cool on vocals, doing sort of a 21st century laid-back James
Brown.  They get your feet moving with about 4:00 of raunchy funk, then
drop back to a slow, searing guitar passage.  Buckethead throws in a few
superfluous guitar-god tricks, but for the most part, it's a very
thoughtful, melodic (yet semi-distorted) solo.  This description could be
used to apply to a lot of the CD -- it's soulful yet thoughtful, with just
enough electronic gamesmanship to keep you on your toes.

   Buckethead is the revelation of this CD.  He plays with the speed and
attack of a Vernon Reid, throws in some tricks that sound like something a
Vai or Satriani might do, while still showing a sense of phrasing somewhat
akin to Sonny Sharrock's.  He may well be a player to watch for in the
future.

   I am no fan of sampling, but for the most part, the samples themselves
aren't overbearing.  However, as "n.n." mentioned, this CD is heavy on
"ambience" as far as mixing/recording is concerned (and it is downright
annoying at times).  (For instance, there are several times when the
drum track is mixed with the turntable, where the drums wind up sounding
as if they were recorded with a mic that is shorting out.  It may be
intentional, but it's annoying to my ear.)  It sounds to me like Laswell
wanted to make what was probably a carefully engineered recording session,
sound like it was recorded in one take on a 2-track machine in someone's
living room, with turntable mixes added later.  I guess he succeeded, but
I'm not sure that it adds anything to the overall sound of the recording.

  Despite its weaknesses, I would highly recommend _Transmutation_ to
anyone who likes heavy electric-guitar-playing combined with spacy
keyboards, and doesn't mind a healthy dose of electronics in their music.
I plan to look for their earlier release(s).
