If you don't know what the "Midnight Minute" is, they do it every day at midnight, and it's called the world's fastest live music show. They usually take someone you've never heard of (which I guess Robyn Hitchcock is to most people) and they sing and play for exactly 60 seconds. I've seen the Robyn H. one twice now and it's very cool. He does "1974." Watch for it!! Also, look for Tom Waits Storytellers on VH1 coming in June!! If you think about it, I've seen my three favorite artists in the world on VH1 in the last couple of months, including XTC on "Where are they now?" Man, what I wouldn't give for an XTC Storytellers. One can dream... Queenie

OF COURSE "CHIPS" SOUNDS DATED! I haven't yet got Chips, I have to rely upon my old vinyl (Sunspot is in the VERY TASTY swirly/purply/vomitous limited vinyl..yum yum). I would agree that 25 O'clock was intended to homage/mock/refer to mid/late 60's Brit-acid rock, but I remember being very impressed with the production of the LP at the time. *This is a line of text that does not include any forward-slashes, for the benfit of those, like myself, who are currently suffering from a surfeit of slashes, I now return you to your regular programming :)* Am I back on...? Good, anyway I was discussing the production of 25 O'clock, at the time every record available was super-smooth in production, most of which was attemtping to compensate for unimpressive material in the first place. I and a producer friend spent quite a bit of time listening to John Leckie's production and were quite excited by what was done. I still feel this way, and as opposed to thinking it sounds dated I believe that it trancends it's time and it's roots to sound progressive even now. I dig the songs, too. Ciao for niao, The Rat

The Buzzcocks and XTC were pretty close to it. I hope I'll succeed one day." Does anyone else think that Falkner's estimation of XTC is "pretty close" to the truth? Regarding the "bonus tracks" debate, frankly I don't see what all the fuss is about. Aren't there "Program"-buttons on your CD players? I guess I can program a CD faster than it would take me to put on the respective record. When I realised that the CD versions have songs on them that I didn't know, I didn't even consider bemoaning where on the CD these tracks were placed; I was so happy to be able to hear them, they could as well have started the album, as far as I'm concerned! And as, contrary to popular belief, XTC haven't released a single dull or even mediocre song in their whole career, any sequence of tracks should make for a great listening experience; why people talk about skipping certain songs all the time, is completely beyond me; the more XTC, the better! (Nonsuch too long? What do you mean?) On a different note, I don't have a full "Testimonial Dessert" in my mind, but I'd love to hear Robert Wyatt do "The Last Balloon". Best wishes, Erich

Subject: I'd Like That
Dear Chalkers,
What's up with this list lately? I would have thought the release of a
new album and several singles plus the myriad of media events
would have kept us happily pre-occupied for at least a year.
But the level of XTC content is dropping as fast as the number of
personal attacks and other off-topic bullshit is rising.
> The more I think about it, I really do believe that Andy P. is lurking
> behind a pseudonym or alter ego on this list.
But thank God he isn't!
He's blissfully unaware of all this nonsense
Re. the Dream Covers thread:
> >7. Another Satellite - Kate Bush
>
> Very interesting choice -- then again, the idea of Kate putting out
> anything in the next decade would be interesting.
Nah, only if she'd be putting out with me :)
But i agree that AS would be a perfect vehicle for her
> Does anyone know what she's up to these days?
does anyone really care?
But here are a couple of my suggested XTC covers:
Yacht Dance - any of the current crop of top RnB producers
could do magic with this i think... something for TLC perhaps?
Reign Of Blows - The Fall (do they still exist?)
This Is The End - Tom Waits
Always Winter, Never Christmas - Brian Setzer/Stray Cats or the
Smiths
My Train Is Coming - Preferably by The Beatles a.d. 1964 (this is the
song they _should_ have played in the train scene of A Hard Day's
Night !) but the latter-day Sir Macca would be great too
Bungalow - Roxy Music
etc etc etc

Message-ID: <0000lrvrtlpx.0000jjptbrnp@dcita.gov.au> Chorx This recent speculation as to whether Andy Partridge is a member of Chalkhills prompted me to dig out a segment of my interview with him in which he addresses the issue of the internet and mailing lists and such. Do these sound like the words of a man who would willingly participate in a forum such as this? You decide.... ~p@ul * ____________________________________ AP: No, I stay away from these websites because it's a bit like you've died and you're kind of there at the wake or something and you get all these people talking about you. I mean, once upon a time somebody printed up a load of stuff like, like six months' worth of chat from one of the websites [Chalkhills] and I was amazed and shocked and delighted and upset and all the emotions, it went through the gamut of every emotion, just the amazing stuff that people talk about. Talk about the misinformation highway, I mean, half of it was wrong, it was some great Chinese whispers, some really inventive guess-work.....plus there was some immensely personal stuff that you'd think, well, do people, are they really interested in that side of somebody? And I don't dive into that on purpose now because, as I say, it's like being dead and having people say these things about you. So sure, the nice things are nice, but the nasty things are really painful sometimes....I don't wanna know what people are saying about me PC: So you'd prefer to keep a good distance from all that sorta stuff.... AP: Yeah, was it Robbie Burns?: "an awesome power, the gift he give to see ourselves as others see us"....I don't want that gift, I don't think it's a gift at all, I think it's painful to get an insight into how others perceive you....I'll keep my little computer unplugged, I think. Actually I don't own....I own a computer, but only to run a musical program; I don't go anywhere near the Net or anything. Bit of a luddite like that....

Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 14:30:33 EST In vol 5 #208 Martin drew our attention to minidisc as a means to edit the Virgin CD's back to original, well there's also MP3. Admittedly, unless you have one of those Rio thingies, this ties you down to your PC, however if your like me and work with the damnable things it is a way to use all that HDD space just lying there begging to be filled with lovely music. Before I get jumped on for breaking copyright, particularly that of AP and CM, I treat it as a means to listen to my cd's without running the risk of them being stolen from my place of employ or being damaged in transit. Rather lke the way I tape music for pleasure whilst travelling on the train. Most of the MP3 players available allow you to create playlists from the tracks available or, my favourite, randomise play. This way I have a playlist for whatever my current mood is, without mucking around with minidisc recorders (mind you I'd love one..I just can't justify the expense), CD burners or editing tracks on your CD jukebox. Currently I am listening to a random mix of all my available XTC tracks (I still have a lot of XTC vinyl I need to update to CD) and other "inspirational" music, Icehouse, Chills, Beatles, Kinks, Blur.........etc. Just like my own personal radio station. Without sounding too pompous (I hope), I try to respect the rights of the artists by recording this stuff for my consumption only, and I already own the source CD's. Time to get off the soapbox before someone sets fire to it beneath me. P.S. I use Sonique as my MP3 player, it has a great interface. Look in Winfiles or go to their web site, www.sonique.com, for the beta freeware version. Ciao for niao, The Rat.

There's an English band y'all ought check out called XtC. Their 11th album, Apple Venus Volume 1, was released a couple of months ago, and it's a cracker. Their albums are generally met with critical acclaim but commercial indifference so you may not have heard of them, however they are well worth checking out. If you can remove Kokomo, Invisible Touch, Sussudio or Slippery When Wet from your CD player, I'd heartily recommend this album. Apparently they don't play live, so CD is the only format to enjoy them. Sorry for the interruption- back to normal programming....

Hi everyone, I have lurked here off and on for awhile. I have been in love with XTC music since their first album. I remember 1980 as a first year university student finding out they were coming to New Zealand, and cueing up to get the tickets. I also cued at the venue (Mainstreet - a nightclub that does not exist any more!) and was first thru the door and stood in front of the stage ALL night. Then there was another show announced the next night, so I did the same thing again! ANd the big thrill for me was that Andy winked at me once! Here I am 19 years on and I still love everything sound XTC have made, and play their albums every day. I think I understand most of their lyrics with New Zealand being an ex-british colony, we share a lot of the same quirks of language, BUT I am really stumped with Greenman? Could some people give me their idea of who he is? As I want to play it at my wedding in 6 weeks time. God, Nature? Who the fek is the Greenman????? Thanks in advance. Cheers! -- Best regards, Be lucky! Peter Mellow. rip@ihug.co.nz peter.mellow@ait.ac.nz

Okay, so over the weekend I went to New Hampshire to visit the old folks
(well, not really old, but it sounded neat. Dad's almost 60).
ANYWAY, I brought AV1 with me because if I don't administer listenings
to myself on a daily basis, I go into withdrawal and get DT's.
So, I forced my Dad to listen to it and he loved it! He listens to
mostly classical, with the occasional Kingston Trio thrown in to mix
things up a bit. I was shocked. The only thing he didn't care for all
that much was Andy's vocals. He said it sounded like he was straining.
But he thinks Andy is brilliant and wants to HEAR MORE!
Pretty cool, eh?

Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 10:33:26 PDT Dear One Arm Bandits and Affiliated Members: 1) Andy: on-line? I suggest some of you actually read interviews with Andy and some of your questions will be answered. No, Andy is not on-line. He has said this over and over. Yes, he has read some of the posting from Chalkhills and he was upset by how much of our musings are totally wrong! I think we all can understand why he would not wish to read them on a regular basis. Andy seems to be rather thin-skinned. 2) Andy: bad man? OK, why are you people worried about defending Andy? Does he need it? No. So, someone thinks he's a jerk, so what? Perhaps he is, who cares? Many said John Lennon was the same way: arrogant and very opinionated. Ray Davies? Yep, just ask his brother Dave. Ray is a bit of an asshole. Deal with it. Andy is very witty, very smart and a creative dynamo. I think I can forgive him his personality faults. I find it strange that any time is spent on this subject. Abe Lincoln once said: "It is wiser to keep one's mouth shut even though others think you a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt."

Subject: cd centers.
chalkhillians;
I wonder if any of you feel as I do regarding b-sides placed in
the middle of the cds. My basic theory is -the harder it was to get those
"bonus Traks" the more you appreciate them.
F'rinstance, when I first got into xtc, I only knew about the albums.
('tween ES and Mummer) When I started looking for their earlier stuff, that
is when I noticed that they had a wealth of other songs. So I started
looking around, and slowly bought up what I could find. It wasn't easy
doings, and I loved and appreciated all of them.
However... after awhile, I had no working turntable, and could only
listen to xt-cassette tapes. No more singles.
Then I finally got a CD player (only 2 years ago)!!! And re-discovered
all those lost singles!!! I *got to* Listen to them again. yippee! I don't
care where they are on any cd as long as i get to hear them.
It seems some of you didn't have to work very hard to get any of those
songs, and that could be part of the reason they seem like extra baggage.

Andy's quite a soloist and can create > some clever doodles on the fretboard. Check out the solos on "We'll Build a > House" from Martin Newell's "Greatest Living Englishman" and "Books are > Burning" (in which he and Dave trade solos). I used to be unsure about which guitarist played what parts, until I got hold of two records: David Yazbek's "The Laughing Man," and Becki Di Gregorio's "Seven Worthies... of the Bamboo Grove," each featuring guitar solos (among many other things) from, respectively, Andy and Dave. Once you've heard the Andy solo on "Black Cowboys on the Beach" and Dave's work on "Inside the Dream" and "Godbox" there will never be a question in your mind again. In particular, Dave has a "touch" with his wrist-vibrato that's utterly characteristic, a signature sound. Also, Dave is highly architectural, playing melodic patterns that follow each other with a logic that's relentless: Think of the second phrase in his solo in "Real By Reel," the one right after he states the main riff: rocket upward quickly, and float downward with these carefully carved little filigreed sixteenth-note figures. Equal parts Django and Chopin. If you wanted to be uncharitable you could call it fastidious and academic. (On the other hand, there's "No Language," which is...oh, what the hell...The Greatest Electric Guitar Solo Ever Played.) You're right: Our Bespectacled Buddha can play some guitar himself--he's intensely rhythmic and pleasingly unpredictable. Once, in search of a future opportunity to drop a name in Chalkhills, I asked David Yazbek about Andy's guitar playing (he was dandling my four-year-old son on his knee over breakfast at the time, if you simply MUST know), and he described a time when, at loose ends in the studio recording "The Laughing Man," they decided to just jam, throwing little bits of melody at each other on their respective instruments. Yazbek described himself as amazed by how much of what Andy was playing seemed to be completely at right angles from ordinary musical reality: it worked brilliantly, from a harmonic point of view, but it just wasn't anywhere near what anybody else would have played. An Idiot Savant's approach to the guitar. ----- > From: Charles <mullin@sscf.ucsb.edu> > Subject: Newell and other recommendations > Is > there any archive of bands/artists that people in this newsgroup have > recommended?

As an all girl > group, they provide inspiration to us deranged members of the double x > chromosome set. From "The Worst Rock 'n' Roll Records of All Time," by Jimmy Guterman & Owen O'Donnell: Groups like the Shaggs are the perfect justification for a book like this: the group is fundamentally awful, yet you can't help loving them. What's special about the songs of Dorothy Wiggin, as played by her and sisters Betty and Helen, is their straightforward pureness coupled with the trio's less than rudimentary instrumental ability. In their insistence that technical proficiency was immaterial, the Shaggs were the original punk rockers. Unlike the punks' lack of chops, the minimalism of the Shaggs wasn't an act of will. "Going into the recording studio was all my father's idea," Dorothy told interviewer John DeAngelis 15 years later. "We didn't feel like we were ready yet; we didn't feel that we knew that much about music." Indeed, the studio engineer suggested to Austin Wiggin Jr., that his daughters might benefit from some practice before he shelled out the cash for studio time. "Nope," answered the beaming father. "I want to get them while they're hot." All aspiring musicians should enjoy such a father's love. ...["Philosophy of the World"] sounds like nothing else in the history of the universe. It's a true original: listen to it and you'll doubt the Shaggs had ever heard any music other than their own. You might also doubt that they were holding their instruments correctly.... A campy cult has grown around the Shaggs' charming, talent- free oeuvre, led by NRBQ's Terry Adams, an aficionado of the bizarre and inexplicable who oversaw the rerelease of both Shaggs records.... "I'd like to continue with music lessons," Dorothy said in 1984, "but right now I'm pretty busy." All Hail Mother Internet! There's a Unofficial Shaggs web site at http://www.cgocable.net/~focus23/shaggs/index.html, with (manna!) RealAudio clips at http://www.cgocable.net/~focus23/shaggs/sound.html. Trust me: The Shaggs *didn't* know the Brit-slang connotation when they chose that name. Hey: just had one of those last-minute masterpiece-of-synthesis thoughts I'm always annoying my wife with: A marriage between Tuli Kupferberg and Dorothy Wiggin! The Fugs and the Shaggs!
