Well, I started this all but...

This reminds that the Clash's "1977" has the line "No Elvis, Beatles or
the Rolling Stones".

If I had to guess I'd say Elvis is probably the most mentioned.  Off
the top of my head I can think of other songs that mention him by
Dead Milkmen, Mojo Nixon, WonderStuff...

Since there are probably a jillion songs that mention other bands, let's
try to focus on those that make fun of other bands.

	Lollapalooza is a nationwide tour consisting of what some would call
"alternative" bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers (of course,
they've hit #1), Pearl Jam and Soundgarden (from Seattle, my hometown), 
rapper Ice Cube, and more. It is playing sometime around this week in
Seattle and I am in Pittsburgh at Carnegie Mellon University for a

[info deleted]

All good information, indeed.  One other point is that they aren't the 
"Barenared Ladies" but "Barenaked Ladies."  They're from Toronto, and are
something of a local success story.  They won the CFNY battle of the bands, and
their independently released cassette went platinum in Canada.  Apparently 
there was a controversy when they were supposed to play an outdoor concert in
Toronto -- the mayor saw the name of the group and kicked them off the list.
The number of complaints were so numerous that the mayor recanted...

I agree that the tape is better than the CD -- just goes to show you that 
sometimes fewer tracks (meaning both "songs" and "tracks") work better.

Seriously though, I skip most posts (looking at the Subjects says enough
for me).  Material that I read: articles with Subjects that made me laugh,

either know (and there are no or hardly any good followups) or want to know

Sarah McLachlan came to Deep Ellum Live in Dallas on Wednesday, July
29th, and was met by an enthusiastic crowd despite being so far away
from her home base.  What a good show!  An interesting band, Balloon,
opened, but the crowd was not really all that interested until the main
act took the stage.  Sarah was indeed in fine voice, and brought a very
tight band with her on her road trip.

Set list:

Drawn To The Rhythm
Black
Home
Lost
Shelter
Elsewhere			<- brand new!
Out Of The Shadows
I Will Not Forget You
Terms Of Endearment
Back Door Man
Into The Fire
Steaming
Vox

The most interesting treatment was reserved for "Steaming", my favorite
song of Sarah's.  It was not at first recognizable, and after it had
got started, there were several musical detours, including bursts of
samples from rap songs and a vignette from Madonna's "Vogue" thrown
into the mix.  The band and Sarah were having a great time, and so did
I; I normally dislike that kind of playing, but they left me feeling I
had gotten much more than just a note-for-note reply of my favorite
song.  Fun was certainly there, and I had it.  "Vox" was the only song
in an all-too-brief encore, but it was even prettier live than on disc,
benefitting greatly form the energy in the room.

To my regret, I have no touring schedule, but watch for Sarah and do
try to catch her if you like her music.

Saturday August 1st Mtv Europe will have been in the air for 5 years. In

the past 5 years, differences with MTV-USA, etc. Also it has a top-ten of
all-time favourite video's of Dutch movie- and music-critics.
This is it (random order):

- Massive: Unfinished Sympathies (1991) - compared with Travis in
  Paris,Texas by Wim Wenders
- Madonna: Promise to try (1991) - from 'In bed with Madonna'
- New Order: True Faith (1987) - honours Oskar Schlemmer, choreographer of
  the Bauhaus movement
- Nirvana: Lithium (1992) - someones favourite video is being shown
  now and is the video of his favourite song now'
- Urban Dance Squad: Deeper Shade of Soul (1990) - the low-budget Dutch
  version is much better than the American Westcoast one.
- Grace Jones: I'm not perfect,(but I'm perfect for you) (1986) - 'it
  makes me think of Willeke and Willy Alberti'
- U2: Even better than the Real Thing (1992) - because of the spindryer

  They have described their music as "Acoustic Hip-Hop", and I think they are 
brilliant.  I just saw them in concert last Saturday(the 25th) and they are
the ultimate live band, humour, innovation and lots of sillyness.  
  They do a rap-jam at the end of their shows that is amazing.

  The new CD is called "Gordon" and is on Sire/Reprise, the number
of the CD is 26956.  The tape is probably only availible in Canada since it
was an independant release.  I think the CD is a great way to get to know
the music/attitude of BNL.

  Peace Out,
  Rod

Webster's:

lollapalooza, lollapaloosa - n. [slang] something very striking 
or excellent; also lollypalooza, etc.


It also makes reference to "lollipop" in the etymology, and the
definition for lollipop sez "also called sucker", so draw your

(This post expires September 8.)

Yes, it has been confirmed.

After last night's (July 27) Vancouver Parks Board meeting whereby
the Board unanimously agreed, the free Bryan Adams concert
will go ahead on Labour Day (Monday, September 7th) at Brockton Oval 
in Stanley Park; this concert will go rain or shine.  

Last week, Bruce Allen (Adams' long-time manager) spoke to CFOX
and basically there *were* considerations over people and traffic
control, police presence, park maintenance, and especially
financial support/considerations for the workers and opening acts.
All in all, however, one of the possible reasons why Adams only
performed once here at home on the "Waking Up the Neighbours" tour
was for a second performance on this East to West swing.
After all, he did say, at the end of his January 31 concert here
in Pacific Coliseum, that he'd "be back in the summer."

The concert will go 12pm to 9pm and will serve as the
last date of the ``WAKING UP THE NATION'' Summer '92 Tour
which will solely be at selected open-air venues across Canada,
starting in St. John's, Nfld (Quidi Vidi Park) on August 14th.

The opening acts are the Steve Miller Band, Extreme and 
the Arc Angels.  Sass Jordan is rumoured to be an additional
opening act, but that has yet to be confirmed as of writing.

My understanding is that a limited number of free tickets
will be available (approx. 40,000) from Ticketmaster outlets in town.
Further ticket information has not been announced yet.

I was talking to another Elton John fan and he was telling me that in the past 
year (perhaps past few months?) that Elton signed a new contract for USA
and the United States with PolyGram and thus he will be leaving MCA.  Is this
true?  How many more albums does he have on his MCA contract after his
current album, "The One"?  Of course his non-North American labels
are already PolyGram owned.  Will MCA's North American lease of the Elton John 
Catalog expire and move to PolyGram?  (Yay for better liner notes than 
MCA's "Compact Disc/Compact Price" line)  When would the new contract 
take effect?  Any other details?  I understand that it may have 
been discussed previously on the net but I missed it.  Thanks for 
any reposts or sources of printed info (ie. mags, newspapers, etc.)

Nah, doubt that.
Notice that when it rains in November, the rain is *cold*...
Also notice November is very close to the *end* of the year...

I saw Kansas here in San Jose a few months back, and like this live album
all they seem to be doing is their old stuff. The track list on this album
is almost the same as on their first live album "Two for the Show".
This really doesn't say much for any of the new material they've written
since the last live album, around 1980 I think.
