Just had to say it again. Todd Bernhardt wrote: > > After listening to The Big Express this morning, I just have this to say > to all who complain about its use of the Linn drum: Get over it.

It's an interesting point. I don't really disagree. I think for a bunch of non-drummers to have programmed the Linn TBE the way they did, it just shows that all the guys were very drum conscious. It's just that Terry, for example, was a friggin' drum machine himself. When I listen to TBE, I can see that, from Terry's perspective at least, it must have been a great collection of musicians to work with. More about Terry: I really liked that online Terry interview at Little Lighthouse! That interview really helped me key in to the whole ambience of the group and their people at the time. His description of the original Star Park had me laughing. On the cover of Black Sea, Terry and Andy look like siblings and Dave and Colin look like siblings. Has this point already been brought up?

Not bad for a band that doesn't tour. However, sales of O&L and Nonsuch I believe topped off at around 400,000. In fact, I always wanted to know if O&L ever went gold in the US (500,000). Plus, I am sure since they are their own record company they will make plenty off of 250,000 sales. A heck of a lot more than their old allotment from Virgin/Geffen for O&L, that's for sure. The only gold records I know XTC has earned were in New Zealand for Drums & Wires or Black Sea. Now each country's number for gold & platinum sales are different based on population, so I think their NZ sales for that LP was around 90,000. The actual number is in the book Chalkhills & Children.

I'm curious to know what you Chalkies are going to be doing that night. normally, i go for sushi in the early evening and return before midnight for a bottle of champagne at the appropriate moment (iow, a quiet one), but this year i might have to change that. i'm still not sure at the moment, but i may have company. that is, if i ever get a phone call from germany to confirm it, or not. if not, i'll stick with tradition. ---------- favourite xtc lyrical moments: "i would have made this instrumental but the words got in the way" "and the people that you made in your image, see them fighting on the street, 'cause they can't make opinions meet about god" "i can't put on an act, it takes brains to do that anyway (and anyway)" "even i never know where i go when my eyes are all closed - here i go again" "please let some out, do it today, and don't let the loveless ones sell you a world wrapped in grey" there are more, but these ones speak to me the deepest. ---------- newcomers: welcome all who have joined the digest recently, also to those who have delurked, too. it's nice to hear other opinions and fresh viewpoints for a change. ---------- ringo/abbey road: to Stephen Jackson; that's not ringo playing the solo on the second side of abbey road, that was paul. oh, and the walrus wasn't paul, either, it was john. ---------- context: to Todd Bernhardt, who said, "I think idol gossip is all we have to hold on to"; now, do you mean that to be gossip about heroes (idol), or meaningless gossip in general (idle)? if it was an intentional pun, it was a good one. if it was an unintentional pun, it was even better! sorry to bring this up, but i was questioned recently about the context in which i used a word, so i'm feeling a little stroppy! ;-) ---------- drums/terry: to Nathan Mulac DeHoff, who said, "the band hasn't done all that much percussion-intensive work in the post-Terry era": what about "poor skeleton steps out" (pat mastelotto), from "o&l"? the combination of electronic percussion and pat's playing is brilliant. or "summer's cauldron" (prairie prince) from "skylarking"? listen to this song either cranked up really loud or through headphones. he's playing kind of a shuffle in places, but then punctuates things with those deep tom-tom thuds. beautiful! btw, thanks for delurking, and welcome to the digest. ---------- travels in nihilon: maybe it's me, but i always thought that the ending to this song sounded like someone having a veeerrryyy looonnnggg piss! perhaps terry after a night down the pub and at the chippy? :-> ---------- drugs: one can use both drugs and alcohols in a responsible manner, but it is the abuse of these where the problem lays. however, that's not where my argument is. i believe in the decriminalization of all forms cannabis for two reasons. first point: why should a person go to jail for simple possession? what harm has that person done to society? how does that quote go? "a bad law tries to protect me from myself?" whether you do or don't is still a matter of choice. second point: i believe that there are medicinal properties that are beneficial to cancer/chemo patients and aids/hiv suffers. it has been proven to stop nausea and increase their appetites, which leads them to get the nutrients that their bodies need to stay healthy. as well as those points, there are those who suffer from chronic pain. two cases in point: first, a woman i know, in her early 50s, suffers from m.s. and she sometimes smokes marijuana to help her get through her day. second, a man i know, who is 73 years old, suffered from a spinal haemorrhage about five years back. he now walks hunched over to his right side and has to use a walker. he has tried everything legal to ease his constant, nagging pain, but few of them help. he now smokes a joint a few times a day and he swears that it has the best pain reducing properties he's come across. both of these people were anti-drug before their bodies started to fail them, but both are now advocates for the medicinal use of marijuana. i agree with them both. in conclusion, as it says on the back of the apple venus jewel case; do what you will but harm none. ---------- december 8: i still miss you, john. wish you were here! peace & xtc, davidoh

When I came back to the apartment today, he was listening to Peter Pumpkinhead...Chalk up (hehe) another one, pulled kicking and screaming (and humming) into the fold... I played "Thanks for Christmas" on my second-to-last radio show of the semester! It rocked, if I do say so myself. Then I played "Radio Days" by World Party. It was...interesting. As for the whole Satanas debate: it seems as if the one thread running through all messages that we attribute to this fellow is that he can't use the contraction "you're" correctly. Ever. (I'm such an English major geek, aren't I?) Of course, I'm an English major geek with a new website at MP3.com (http://www.mp3.com/BenGott), but I would never shamelessly promote myself like that. Ever. Nope. I think that Martin Newell's "The Greatest Living Englishman" is one of the top three albums of the 1990's. Is that OK? Am I going to go to hell for not choosing "Nevermind"? Probably, -Ben

Again, not everyone taking drugs is doing it to "expand their >consciousness"! It's not all hippies and addicts, you know. ******** Ever see the Learning Channel (?) special on the History of LSD? You will see some of the "whys" of it's use, covertly, scientifically, recreationally... all of which are quite eye opening into the workings of the mind and even our environment. Although testing has most likely gone underground there is a wealth of data from past work. I wouldn't be so quick to shove this into the category of hippies, school kids or the "week" either. The list of influential people who took LSD is staggering. Timothy Leary's book "Flash Backs" is another good history lesson. LSD is not for recreation or for helping you get through a tough time with the inlaws, seems it's potentually mind expanding when the experiment is set up properly and the subject is capable, willing and positive. ...at least that's what the dolphins told me.

Not one mention (until now) of my personal favorite album from this year (XTC material aside you understand): Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros -- Rock Art & The X-Ray Style By the way, mention of one of my favorite XTC songs (Funk Pop a Roll) in a recent digest had me thinking...is it my imagination or did I hear at some point that Andy thought that Mummer would be the band's last album, and that he sincerely thought of that song as his last with the band (bringing more significance to his "goodbye" sendoff)? Favorite XTC moment: Tie between "Everything you eat is waste...But swallowing is easy when it has no taste" (from Funk Pop a Roll) and the "ha ha ha ha ha ha" at the beginning of Life is Good in the Greenhouse. Also, the last song on Go2 is I am the Audience. I'm not sure about how well it closes Go2 but it has that wonderful organ flutter and that driving bassline that is so typical of Go2. Without a doubt, Go2 deserves to be listened to long enough so that one is familiar with which song ends it! Patrick Juneau, Alaska

A co-worker of mine, Dec 9th, 1980. Nineteen years, and I still miss him... Michael Versaci >> Michael, thank you for your fantastic post, and now I have something for you. There is a voice like Lennon's today, but it's not in music. It's in a series of books by a quite ordinary person named Neale Donald Walsch, and the books (there's four of them now) are called Conversations with God. I am convinced, and I tell you now with sincere conviction, that if John were with us today, he'd be advocating these books. They are, quite simply, the most powerful and revolutionary pieces of work I have come across. They are the dialogue between the author, Walsch, and God, on virtually every subject imaginable, ranging from the self and all the related topics, society, business, culture, the environment, space, time, love, death, sex, money, the universe and the entire cosmology. Pretty tall order, but I am here to tell you, as a true Chalkhillian, a past atheist, and one who still loves to sing Dear God at the top of my lungs, these books are truly revolutionary, and they ring with me at my core just like the Beatles and XTC. Let me draw a musical analogy using these two bands. I suggest to you that reading Conversations with God is like hearing all this wrapped up in a cohesive, singular, practical, completely understandable and mind-blowingly beautiful symphony of thought, clarity and understanding: Revolution I am the Walrus Merely a Man Garden of Earthly Delights Peter Pumpkinhead That Wave Complicated Game Then She Appeared Wrapped in Grey All You Need Is Love Seasons Cycle Books are Burning Summer's Cauldron Magical Mystery Tour Mayor of Simpleton Paper & Iron Respectable Street Generals & Majors All Together Now Tomorrow Never Knows The Word Pink Thing Chalkhills & Children Easter Theatre I'd Like That River of Orchids You're My Drug Brainiac's Daughter And about 20 more of each, plus about 50 from each of even greater beauty that were never either plucked from the ether and set to tape. Fellow chalkers, I'm not telling you this to prosthyletize (sp?), but rather to let you know it's there, simply because I think many of you will like it as much (if not more) than most new records -- for me, they're right on par with my two or three favorite bands, and it's worlds more practical. Indeed, it certainly isn't something you need to read to be saved or anything like that -- as God says in these books, there's nothing for you to be saved from, unless you choose to experience that -- "I say no thanks why bless my soul, I'm already there." And they're not about church or any established religion, nor about religion at all. They're about spirituality, which is worlds different and a far bigger and universal reality that holds within it every religion as only a sliver of a much larger universe of truths. John sang, "Just Gimme Some Truth." Even if you don't think this is God talking, you'll be blown away by the truth of what's said, and like I said, this work, more than any music today, reminds me of John, and makes me feel that magic, but from the inside out, not the outside in. F***ing mind-blowing. These books are, as far as I can tell, the Beatles of wisdom literature, turning everything that came before on it's ear. And if these books are the beatles, then the bible is -- perry como, pat boone? Garth Brooks? No wait, he's later, he must be a televangelist. If you're looking for some truly intriguing ideas, and a call to truly make real in your own life what John made us all feel was true in our hearts, then I recommend these books as high, and in most cases, higher than any album I could ever recommend. My guess is that anyone on this list will find them thoroughly engaging and interesting at some level, and in many cases, they may transform lives and perspectives, as they have my own. In any case, flame away if you're so inspired, I hope this wasn't intrusive, and I won't mention it again for at least another week or so. I bring it up to be of service to you, my fellow chalkster, just as we wallow in the awesome genius that is Andy, Colin, John, Paul, and all the rest of the mighty music makers of this century. I recommend Conversations with God, Book 1 as the perfect complement to Apple Venus Volume 1 to make this a year of great experiences. Flaming lips is making the list rounds, may have to check that out. Thanks. Best, Will J

(sorry) Speaking of Mr "Talent On Loan From God" Limbaugh, I submit for your amusement the following joke: The talk show host Larry King(for you non-Americans, he's a left-leaning American talk show host on one of the cable news channels; he's known mostly for having had about as many heart bypasses as wives(about seven in both cases))dies and upon meeting St Peter at the pearly gates(remember, atheists, this is just a joke)tells St Peter "In order for me to know whether I'd rather stay here or the other place, I have to know something. Is Rush Limbaugh here?" "No, " replies St Peter, "I assure you, Rush Limbaugh is not here." "Thank you," says Larry King. "I don't want to be where Limbaugh is. I'll stay, then." Later as St Peter is giving King a guided tour King sees ahead a big and gaudy building with the name Rush Limbaugh in bold letters in front. King gets very perturbed and says to St Peter, "I thought you said Rush Limbaugh wasn't here." "He isn't," replies St Peter. "That's God's house." Christopher R.

"Princess Of The Universe," "Itch In My Brain," "Crybaby," "Too Much Water," and "Zen Machine," all from their last three albums on labels that are long since defunct, thus eliminating the need to ask for permission to use the songs, presumably. It's also interesting to note that in the States Black Sea was released on RSO records(also defunct) with Virgin as a licenser; the same deal was struck with Epic in the case of English Settlement. Don't know about Drums And Wires, I have a Canadian copy of that one. >And thanks for letting me know where "most people" stand in their politics. >Actually, I'm a libertarian only when it's really inconvenient for me. I >think it shows my commitment more. Hey, I like that. That's why I stick my neck out on the gun issue, because I'm actually endangering myself by taking a gun liberty position, as a non-gun owner. I'll just have to trust that my neighbor isn't a gun nut. Standing on principle is a lonely cause in some circles, and frankly I'm tired of preaching to the choir anyway. We all have freedoms we value, mine are no more valid than yours. If you and your neighbors want to melt your guns, I have no objection, it's a free country(supposedly!), and I wouldn't even have a problem with a grassroots locally organised movement to melt guns, as long as no force or coercion is involved. It would have to be entirely voluntary. When government steps in, that's one step over the line for me, especially here in the United States. I don't want Billary telling me whether or not I can own a gun. I can make up my own mind. I choose not to at this time, I make no promises for the future, though I have no great desire to own a gun.
