worth it simply for the hats remix, but they usually do an extrememly swank
job of most everything they get their collective paws on...

Subject: (hats) remixes and covers you'd do

I looked at the website about Razormaid and the cds seem interesting.  Too
bad the prices are too high.  They have remixes of "Major Tom" and the funny
thing was they listed Trans-X as an Italian band.  Aren't they're from
Montreal?

They listed "I Got The Message" as progressive rock.  Progressive rock?   I
always thought of "I Got The Message" as the song I'd cover if I was in the
music industry today.    Whatever became of the compilation album we were
going to do?  I read about the upcoming tribute from Uforia (by the way, I
still love your fantastic page Claude!) and I hope it's good--what I mean is
I hope the bands take the time to write up good quality covers and not just
some
gee-I-think-an-acoustic-version-would-be-easier-and-marketable-rush-job.  I
hope this hasn't been brought up before, but what kind of covers/remixes
would everyone like to see on a tribute album?  For me, I'd like to see a
rock version of one of their electronic songs and vice versa.  A symphonic
(maybe opera?) version of "Sercurity (Everyone Feels Better With)".  I don't
know about "The Saftey Dance" because it's one of those songs that no one
can cover successfully.  It's one of those classic tracks that just can't be
interpreted in a different way.  I can picture Celine Dion singing "Pop Goes
The World".  Maybe in French.

Hey Daniele.

I think Claude Gr=E9goire knows about Trans-X.  The lead signer name is Pa=
scal
Languirand.  I know that his father work on television here in Quebec but
Claude knows more about Trans-X than me.

Ciao

Francis

Luxt recently covered this track on a compilation entitled 'Newer Wave
2.0' (released by 21st Circuitry Records).  Quite a decent cover in my
opinion, complete with female vocals, and somewhat grindy music.

Give it a listen if you see it in a record store...

Ae.

That's absolutely putrid. She should die...in France.

That was mature :p

Anyways, I was reading the Pop Up video messages during the Safety Dance
and came across the fact that the group broke apart after the song because
they became greedy.  Did I miss something here?  If they did, how did they
manage to release more singles and then record another album the following
year?

Nah.  Jim Morrison's already done that.

But of course!  You're very welcome.  :)

While we're on the subject too, it is interesting to note that
in France they apparently lease rather than sell burial plots.
The lease on Jim Morrison's plot is due to expire in the next
couple of years or so and it has already been emphatically expressed
by the powers that be that his particular lease will *not* be
renewed due to all of the problems its presence has caused with
all the fans showing up and doing damage to it and the graves
in the immediate vicinity.  This means that he will have to be
removed from that grave and physically moved elsewhere!
