First of all, I was forced to go to a "fun" weekend "retreat" at some lutheran camp, but thats not why I will always remember this past weekend as being particularly sucky. While I was there, some little jackass asshole assbutt of a kid felt it necessary to jump on my clothing bag that contained all the cds I brought. The little shitsucker totally demolished my "English Settlement" cd case!!!!!! And scratched up the cd a little, too(I have not yet listened to it to see what damage has been done yet because i'm too depressed about the whole incident). To retaliate, I dumped the contents of his garbage can onto his bed, AND THEN I'M THE ONE WHO GETS IN TROUBLE!!!!!! I tried to explain to the authority figure that Mr. Crapnut deserved to have hid garbage can unloaded onto his bed because of what he did! And also, a few dirty tissues that could easily be cleaned up without a hassle was nothing compared to the emotional stress that I would go through! Mr. Authority guy had no empathy for me.

Subject: CONTEST WINNERS
First of all I need to say something,
THANK YOU!
Every body who entered the contest and,
all of you who enjoyed it.
(even that lawyer guy)
I had a few things I was trying to do here...
1. Lighten up the "Hill"(at least for a few weeks)
2. Increase the XTC CONTENT!(sneaky little pan-
dimensional fin-oid,I am, I am)
3. In my own selfish way I take much joy in
bringing a little sunshine into each and every-
bodys life. (I hope I at least helped.)
4. I know no one entered the 'contest' for the
prizes. I have received many off post E's from
humans who told me how much fun they've had.
(I'm not worthy)
So Who Won?!
runner up # 2
STEVE SIMS! (see Vol.5 # 315 RE: KNIVES OF GINSU)

from KROQ and the best sounding/unique versions from my
somewhat limited XTC boot and import single B-side stuff)

4.World Party B-sides(mainly 'Jumbo' stuff)
GRAND PRIZE?

I'm sorry about this one but,ever since I was Fin-high to
a Mudshark, I've been a BEEFHEART FREAK!
Before there was XTC there was...
Captain Beefheart!!!!!!!

What does Thanksgiving have to do with the Turks? Are they so angry now that they are having more powerful earthquakes than California. That'll show us. Did we even fight atgainst the Turks in any war or anything. I think the US might have faced off against them in WW I. But correct me if I'm wrong, weren't things a lot more civil between us during WW II? Sorry about the lack of XTC content. Harry

I've just returned from holiday and all that free time got me to thinking very profoundly about Chalkhills and the direction in which it has been going recently. We have had Mr fflynt, the devil (himself), that guy who wrote about the second world war, an apparent fish from outer space, in addition to the revelation that Harrison Sherwood is apparently just a very clever computer programme. It occurred to me during the trip (in a dream, believe it or not, in which XTC's original roadie, Steve Warren, also appeared - as a roadie) that the list might be under attack by aliens from outer space. Admittedly I'd just read an article about extending the Internet into space so this might be complete tosh....but you never know - the X Files isn't all bullshit, I'm sure (_and_ it used to be filmed in Canada.....) Perhaps a more plausible explanation is that our collective brains are gradually being turned into a banana-like mush (just like the stuff my 13 month old daughter seems to like at the moment) by the recent content of many "Chalkhills". As examples of my point I offer the posts about XTC dreams, alternative XTC lyrics, musical equipment lists, posting etiquette, logical arguments and Jeff Beck. My vote is that we all take some time out from XTC, clear our minds and come back after, say, 2 weeks all duly refreshed. Maybe then all this weird stuff will go away and we can all get down again to some really interesting discussions about our favourite group. See you in about 3 weeks. Simon Deane

Ahhhhh... Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.... Did ever a more congenial topic rear its head in the Friendly Confines? The silly little "Lilly the Pink" ditty co-written by Paul McCartney's wee bro Mike McGear and Liverpool poet Roger McGough enjoyed a richly deserved popularity in the mid-Sixties. Like so many popular songs throughout history, there lurks between its lines a coded historical document, a sort of guidebook to a hidden social history that is a joy to explore. May I daintily invite you to visit the excellent website of the Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health at http://www.mum.org -- and especially the section devoted to Lydia Pinkham and her patent medicines, "most efficacious in every case"? The "Lilly the Pink" lyrics are reproduced at http://www.mum.org/mrspink17.htm, and include the following bauble: Auntie Millie Ran willy-nilly When her legs, they did recede And so they rubbed on medicinal compound And now they call her Millipede. Also at this absorbing (sorry!) site are several rather beautiful print advertisements for the Vegetable Compound, reproductions of some of the pages of Mrs. Pinkham's "Private Text-Book upon Ailments Peculiar to Women," and sections on other patent medicines. The entire museum is very much worth exploring at length. Where else would you be able to latch on to the utterly beguiling fact that a Norwegian euphemism for menstruation is "Kommunister i lysthuset," or "Communists in the Summer-House"? Perhaps most fascinating of all is the list of ingredients for the Compound: Unicorn Root (Aletris farinosa L.) 8 oz. Life Root (Senecio aureus L.) 6 oz. Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa (L.) Nutt.) 6oz. Pleurisy Root (Asclepias tuberosa L.) 6 oz. Fenugreek Seed (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) 12 oz. ...and last but certainly not least of these laudable ingredients... Alcohol (18%) to make 100 pints Well, you didn't think it was the Black Cohosh that ladies undergoing The Change bought and guzzled it for, did you? The museum proprietors also point out delicately that Mrs. Pinkham's Compound continued to be available during Prohibition, and in fact it enjoyed its greatest commercial success during that benighted time. You can still buy it today, although in a sadly adulterated form, which, according to a witness, "tastes strongly of the ferrous lactate and lacks the old punch, and is only suggested as a menopause formula." Not unlike "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep," come to think of it. ----- Once again, I draw my Chalkie friends' attention to my new e-mail address. This one is (D.V.) permanent.

Many of the songs (and bands, for that matter!) I had never heard, and as I passed along the list to my colleague, I wished him luck! Anyway, I was able to compile a 90 cass. with material I already owned; if you're interested I'm passing it along here: 19 - Paul Hardcastle / Beach Party Vietnam - Dead Milkmen / Camouflage - Stan Ridgeway / 99 Red Balloons - Nena / Coup D'etat - Circle Jerks / Holiday in Cambodia, Chicken Farm, When Ya Get Drafted - Dead Kennedys / Foreign Policy, Let's Have a War - Fear / Army Song - Abrasive Wheels / Short Memory, U.S. Forces - Midnight Oil / It's a Mistake - Men at Work / Goodnight Saigon - Billy Joel / Vietnam - Half Japanese / Charlie Don't Surf, Car Jammin', This Is Radio Clash - Clash / Vietnamerica - Stranglers / The Big Parade - 10,000 Maniacs / Vietnamese Blues - GBH / Truck Drivin' Neighbors Downstairs - Beck / Hanoi - Gary Numan / Generals and Majors, Living Through Another Cuba - XTC / Vietnam - Jimmy Cliff Songs I don't have, but recommended: Billy Bragg: Tender Comrade / X: Back to the Base / Redgum: I Was only 19/ Cold Chisel: Khe Sanh / New York Dolls: Vietnamese Baby / The Pop Group: For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder? / Fred Small: No More Vietnams / President Leaky Faucett: Letter to Vietnam / John Lee Hooker: Don't Wanna Go to Vietnam / Lotion: Marijuana Vietnam / Master: Return to Vietnam / Phil Ochs: Talking Vietnam Blues / Lee Harvey Oswald Band: Panic in Hanoi / House of Love: The Beatles and the Stones / And other material by Throbbing Gristle and Crass For those who thought I should have included "War Dance" - while it does have a strong anti-war theme, its content was too British: Fleet Street, national service, Churchill, etc. are not part of the American cultural perception. And for better or worse (mostly worse), Vietnam was an American war. If anybody can think of any more songs along this vein, don't hesitate to pass them along. Again, many thanks. Off subject briefly - does anyone else enjoy sitting down to xtcliveanddirect when you're working on the computer? I sure as hell do - it makes writing lectures and assignments go by much easier. If only my damn isp wasn't so slow... (but it's free!). Ian is providing an invaluable service here - kudos my friend. And finally, I've joined a group of concerned citizens called the meatitarians who are working judiciously to spread the word to help stop the innocent slaughter of our vegetable friends simply for human consumption. We have pledged to eat at least four helpings of meat, chicken, pork, fish, eggs, and cheese a day, and wash each helping down with a tall, cool glass of milk.

Dear Chalkers,
Religion keeps rearing its ugly head lately:
> Millions of people cellebrate Xmas though they are not Christians! (in
> reality, Xmas is a Pegan holiday actually).
No it's not. Xmas was cleverly linked to an existing pagan festival,
and incorporated many pagan symbols and icons. But that doesn't
make it pagan; after all it is the celebration of the birth of Christ, not
Greenman.
> I cellebrate eating a table with family, not the meaning!
say what?
there are one or two family members i wouldn't mind roasting but
i don't think i could actually stomach them; never mind a table!

I have about 3500 CDR's sitting here waiting to be burnt off my 12X Burner (disks are only 8X compatible though :( ) I am ready to make some XTC CD's. I seen a bootleg CD at this store that had a ton of singles and other rare stuff, but I really dont believe in buying bootlegs nor would I sell them. I just thinks thats screwed up if you ask me. I would pay a few bucks, but not $15 of money that will never touch the groups hands. Anyway, happy holidays to all. Too many cooks in the kitchen... Who said they hated that song? I recall one of you did. I love that. To be honest, there is really no songs I dont like. I guess, after hearing something too long you get biased!

Enough of a pissing contest, yes it's ok to get into a discussion about all this stuff but do we really have to do the name calling bit. For those of you who have been around Chalkhills longer and are familiar (either from meeting or corresponding with them personally) with those folks you're roasting on list...well that might be a different story. While I usually find the witty remarks rather fun, I personally have begun to skip past the nasty stuff. Let's stop (pardon the pun) knocking the stuffing out of each other shall we? While I don't feel we need a hall monitor (or email in this case) to make sure everyone behaves, I do agree with Mr. Myers assessment of the situation. Debate is a little more lively when we call each other names, but it takes a little more wit to agree to disagree without getting into a pissing match. XTC content: I put off purchasing the Japanese Homespun because I had purchased the American edition. I finally gave into temptation last week, so if there are any of you that can't afford it or have purchased Homespun already and would like a copy of the comments please let me know off list. I gave my copy of Homespun to my brother (a big fan who probably won't listen to it once or twice...then again maybe he will. He has surprised me in the past). A suggestion to whomever is communicating with the band (or TVT, Cooking Vinyl, etc.), for AV2 perhaps they could release a limited edition CD with the demos as a bonus extra. I'd be willing to pay a little extra to get it. This way it will conform to the bragging done about how many copies are shipped to distributors and give the fans something extra. Also, Andy and Colin will make a little extra on the side.
