References: Old and orphaned responses [0929] Randomness: The world is round. PETE CONRAD, Aboard Gemini XI This is in response to someone (Shelli?) who said that they heard a song that they liked and they thought they heard the word "October" Well, U2 does a song called October on their (you guessed it) October album. It's all piano and vocal, and is rather short. The lyrics are: October And trees are stripped bare Of all they wear What do I care? October And kingdoms rise And kingdoms fall But you go on And on... Do those lyrics ring a bell? Later, -Shoo (Robb L. Leatherwood) [][][][][][][][][][] Date: Wed, 19 Feb 86 21:56 PST From: ROBB LEATHERWOOD Subject: Stan, bud. References: Stan Ridgeway??

Just saw the cover for this week's rag (haven't even read it yet): what's this about Talking Heads winning "FINALLY"????????????????? As if it's not bad enough that David Byrne and fellow eccentrics are becoming mega-popular for the one Heads album that has no right to exist (read: I HATE IT, it's unadventurous, condescending and a prettied-up rubber bone thrown to the Top 40 masses), but almost everyone is behaving as if "Little Critters" is FINALLY the masterpiece (puke) they should have made all along, oh gee whiz isn't this great avant garde stuff (yes, I heard that on a radio station here and might have attacked the car stereo, but I was in the back seat.) FA *FLAME OFF* (By the way, Doug, Byrne has always insisted on not having the "the" in front of Talking Heads. Nobody's perfect:-) "And you may ask yourself My God! What have I done?"

Rites of Spring was one of my favorite albums of 1985 (along with Beefeater on Dischord also) but was spurned by Hip, Media Celebrities in the Village Voice. But then they are all part of the "establishment" they so ranted about in the 60's and Dischord is definitely anti-"establishment" and they sell their records for silly prices like 5 bucks postage paid. So Village Voice and all the other wankers who "contribute" to it is in the record industry hip pocket helping to bring "the next wave" out of the underground and into recording contracts (see the REplacements and Husker Du...) and spurn anyone who doesn't tow that line so you Won't be seeing any Dischord releases talked about in the VV (also Dischord sends out very, very, very few promo copies and this PISSES off critics like Christgau who feel the music world should send them like two copies so Bobby can have the best record collection outside of Midnight Sun in NYC - certainly Dischord DOESN'T send promos to such crass (the name of an English simililarly minded group of individuals) commercial Murdochish things like Village Voice) [Whew] So don't feel so "hip" about helping Rupert Murdoch's paper out, Sue. Go find the Beefeater or Rites of Spring release or better yet check out the new Snakes release on that label. Or buy HR's album on Fountain of Youth.

I have a 12-inch 45 that has "Drive, She Said" "Salesman" and another tune by Stan Ridgeway on it. There's none of that crazy percussion or the silly rhythm machine WoV used. "Drive" sounds reminiscent of WoV. "Salesman" is more minimal (<--paradox?) than that, with a bass line that won't quit. It is easily the lowest bass that I have on a vinyl recording (Oh dear, my audiophilia is showing). 8^) I've heard the new Wall of Voodoo album. Yawn. Dan P.S. Twelve inch singles recorded at 33.3 rpm should be banned! "Salesman, salesman, why don't you sell me something?"

I have a tape of it but I do not have the song list. Anybody want to send it to me ?? this is the old album, not the re-issue of it (which has different songs I am told). -- I'm not even gonna put my two measly cents in - If sue wants to be the trendy hip media star, interview the grateful dead. There a hell cooler than the fine young geeks, 10,000 manic depressive, or whoever is becoming 'in' (as oppossed to 'out'). Me ?? I'm goona try to dig up all this change I have and cruise downtown to see the real trend, the Butthole Surfers. Don't have much money, but it's better than the other slop around here. tim [][][][][][][][][][] Date: Thu, 20 Feb 86 15:41:29 EST From: Hofmann Subject: silliness > Then again, Kate risking appearing silly by playing a little boy in the > "Cloudbusting" video helps restore my faith.

Subject: ZAP Music Apparently-To: Love-Hounds [Part of this message got lost in the digests because of my wonderful non-locking software, so here it is again.... --Doug] What with nearly all of the creative electronic ZAP artists now doing scores for motion pictures (most notably Tangerine Dream), and other Berlin schoolies such as KKlaus Schulze teaming up with 60's misfits such as Arthur Brown, we are at the brink of something (if i knew what it was I would say). Even my close friend Pascal Languirand (aka Minos; aka TRANS-X) has traded in his noise generators, various sound modification devices and other interesting 'sounding' items for multiple layered MIDI overglorified rhythm boxes (with 127 part harmony), and an actual live performing band. What gives. Isn't anyone out there doing cosmic exploration anymore. With the current crop of multi-tracking devices (including the, gulp, midi stuff). You would think that we would have uncovered the essense of musical consciousness by now (of course I realize that we might have but Sylvester Stallone just couldn't understand it so it was forgotten). I would appreciate communicating with those overaged individuals who are interested in the music of the mind (not the echos thereof), those who maybe sometimes pull out there old Moog-10, Synthi VCS3 or AKS, EML 101,200, various sound modification devices and an old TEAC 3340A (or maybe gust an older 3340) to try to open the doors of cosmic conciousness in a way that even a Rosicruscian never thought of).
