Since the first show was sold out tonite, I had to settle with seeing only one set of Jonathan Richman. While the rest of earlier Modern Lovers have now grown up and are making money from their music, Jonathan Richman is still a kid at heart. The music he writes now is identical to the music he wrote over ten years ago: its happy, sad, but it will always make you smile. His music is pure pop, and with his music could become mainstream pop very easily, Jonathan himself has no desire to have that happen to him. In one of his conversations with the audience tonite, Jonathan said he loves small clubs where he can talk to the audience and they'll talk back to him. It's a good sign when musicians care more about the audience than making money. There was only two other members of the Modern Lovers with him; both played acoustical guitar and did a little harmonizing. Jonathan now carrys a saxaphone with him onstage; he uses it infrequently, but he does a decent job of and playing it. His songs now focus on the three things in life he enjoys: nature, life, and romance. All the songs they performed were from his last two albums and his soon to be released record on Twin-Tone records, and deal with the three important ingredients in his life.

It's >called "Kate Bush on Stage" and it's on Harvest records. A random observation: I like some of the versions of songs on the EP/mini-album/whatever-it-is better than the versions that appear on the albums on which they were originally released. I like the different chorus on "James and the Cold Gun", and I like the different piano arrangement on "Don't Push Your Foot on the Heartbrake". Agreements? Disagreements? Get well cards? Question: Is this recording from Kate Bush Live at the Hammersmith (or whatever... Hammer-something, at any rate...like the video?) Did I ask you this already, Doug? -------------------------- Recent convert Joe writes: >1 - Picked up "The Dreaming". Kate Bush is the most extremely wicked >pissah awesome artist I've ever heard.

Wicked awesome. -------------------------- Doug at his sarcastic best: >And about this erotic undercurrent that's always been there... there >are some things that have been puzzling me for a while.

No, I don't care to elaborate, but I'd like to correct your spelling: semen. Seaman is part of the punch line to the joke: What's the difference between a JAP and the Bermuda Triangle? (A: The Bermuda Triangle swallows seamen!)

Now, this would be fine and dandy, but there's a sticker > on the front that says that the EP contains 6 songs. Either the > sticker is lying or the list on the back is. Does anybody know the > answer to this? KB has two EPs. One is "Kate Bush On Stage", and has the four songs listed on the back. This one was never released in the U.S., but might have been released in Canada, for all I know. The other is "Kate Bush" and is an EMI-America compilation album. (It was never released in England). The U.S. version has five songs and the Canadian version has six songs. Don't always believe stickers. "The Dreaming" has the sticker that says "Contains 'Suspended In Gaffa' as seen on MTV'. Right. Maybe MTV showed it twice. And the most recent U.S. pressing of "Never for Ever" has a sticker which says "Featuring 'Never for Ever'". Now, there is *no* song "Never for Ever" on the album, but putting that sticker on the album sure is a way to drive KB fans crazy, because Kate *did* record a song called "Never for Ever", but she decided to leave it off the album. > And what is Kate doing on Harvest records? KB was originally on Harvest in the U.S. The first U.S. pressing of "The Kick Inside" was on Harvest and had the Canadian cover. She was very shortly moved to EMI-America, however. In Canada, she was probably on Harvest for a longer period of time. > Another Kate question: Now that I have what I have, what should I > get next? Never For Ever? Lionheart? Or some singles or what? Get "Never for Ever" and listen to mostly the second side. Pick up the "December Will Be Magic Again" single too. > From: Shelli > Is this recording ["Kate Bush On Stage"] from Kate Bush Live at the > Hammersmith (or whatever... Hammer-something, at any rate...like > the video?) Yup, it is. "Recorded Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, 13 May 1979 -- Play it Loud". >> She's not talking about *seamen* is she? Gosh.

"But you're not a swallow" Doug P.S. I saw The Throbbers, The Anti-Zeroes, Black Cat Bone, Uzi, and Throwing Muses at The Rat last night. It was a great show. The last three groups were awesome. The main person in Throwing Muses was incredibly PG, however (no she wasn't in a movie -- she was like, you know, Mary with child expect that the father wasn't God, like you know). I was scared she might have the kid there on stage. (All this is pretty strange, because the last time I went to my dentist, she was incredibly pregnant too.) I wonder how much this will delay Throwing Muses album. And whether their music will become all blissful and starry-eyed. Their encore song had something in it about dying rabbits, so things look pretty good. With my luck if I asked the author about those lyrics, however, and said "You're saying something about your pregancy when singing about dying rabbits, right?", she'd probably say "No, I'm talking about rabbits and about death. You're pretty weird." [][][][][][][][][][] -- It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under.
