"Lysol" really is the blueprint for Leng T'che, to the point where the
similarities become embarrassing. I was fortunate enough to see Melvins
live recently, and they ended their set with the A-side of "Lysol".
You probably won't be able to find the album under that name anymore, as
I believe they got in trouble with the company producing Lysol. It is now
simply titled "Melvins". Just look out for the record with the Indian on
the cover...

Nope, we were supposed to see Slash's Snakepit, but given Denver's
blizzard that day, almost didn't get to the show at all due to the
drifts (and minimal snowplows) in my area.
I think Slash (the guy from GNR) was not able to perform, and since we
got there late, not sure who the blues-inspired so-so trio was (may have
been Snakepit w/o Slash for all I know) that was already on stage.
AC/DC was at least twice as loud as any concert I've ever been to, fwiw.
From now on I take earplugs... Oh, and they were pretty good too;
almost have become a fan.

Steve,
Could you maybe tell me a little about The Knack. Never heard of them, but am
quite a fan of Terry Bozzio.
In my previous mails I'd completely forgotten about Duran Duran - they've
always been a fave band of mine.
Talking about Warren Cucurullo: I saw him live around 1994; a solo thing - the
guy of Dweezil Zappa's band of that time on drums, and Nick Beggs (of
Kajagoogoo fame!!!) on bass!!! Quite unbelievable, I thought. The music was -
well, too show-offish...

My piano teacher, who was also a composer, said that Arnold Schoenberg's book on
harmony was essential. According to him, the best book ever written on the
subject. (And he didn't like Schoenberg as a composer that much.)
There's also a two volume book on composition available by Schoenberg.

Quite frankly, all the new Melvins stuff has sucked
crap. But I'd buy everything up to Stoner Witch.
If you want the heavy, Lysol is good, but there's also
Bullhead, Ozma, Gluey Porch Treatments, Houdini and
Eggnog.
King Buzzo's solo album is great as well, and Joe
Preston's is alright, very heavy.
After Stoner Witch, they sucked shit, which is really
too bad.

L'Abbe C has been in print previously, I think through
City Lights books who also prints my favorite Bataille
"The Impossible".
I've never read Literature and Evil. I also loved:
Story of the Eye (Read somewhere that a few young
Filmmakers were attempting to turn this into a film
using Digital Video/Dogme '95 possibly??)
Tears of Eros (It grew on me after awhile, but I
enjoyed it otherwise)
> np: JZ, Trembling Before G*D
I recently picked this up a few weeks ago at <gasp>
Best Buy. I've always loved Zorns piano pieces.
Still waiting for the film to arrive. I emailed the
director awhile back but she never mentioned a date
that it would open.

Has anyone from the list seen the film yet?
I would love to see it - what I've read so far in the booklet sounds

Nay. But I did drive from Binghamton to NYC (4 hours) to see Elvis Costello
and Burt Bacharach at Radio City Music Hall. After the show I drove to CT (2
and a half hours) to meet a friend. I crashed on his couch, got up, then we
drove to Washington D.C. (about six hours) for another EC/BB show. After
that we drove all the way to Massachusetts (about 9 hours, maybe more).
And they were the worst Elvis shows I've ever attended.
When Ilived in CA I had friends fly out from Boston for a Tom Waits concert.
I once flew to Las Vegas from Boston to see Elvis Costello. From Vegas I
drove to LA where I saw Elvis twice. Then I drove to SF.
My best friend Craig flew from Boston to London just for a Rick Wakeman show.
This is nothing compared to Deadheads.

Subject: RE: The Knack / Duran / Kajagoogoo (was: Guilty Choices)
The Knack was an early '80s pop band that wanted to be the Beatles in the
worst way, and the hoopla manufactured by their record company would have
you believe that they were the second coming of same. The scary thing was
that you got the feeling they really believed it, like Oasis did. Anyway,
the Knack had one huge, huge hit that you couldn't escape when I was in high
school, "My Sharona," which was common enough currency that Weird Al
Yankovic did a send-up, "My Bologna" (about the lunch meat, not the city).
To draw an apt musical comparison, it's kind of like if Terry Bozzio had
joined the Go-Gos, or maybe Blur. And he's only on one album, a recent
attempt at a comeback. If you look at the cover, he looks pretty dour among
all those snarky grins.
Duran Duran were a favorite of mine, too, but I have a hard time believing
that they're still around, still trying to make a go of it long after Simon
Le Bon's "sell by" date has expired.
Have to admit, I didn't ever expect to see the name Kajagoogoo appear on the
Zornlist, ever. But I guess anything's possible, right? Wonder if we'll
ever see Jon Abbey again after all this nonsense... ;-)

I've travelled more than 24 hours, but that was to go to a festival, not a
single concert. Does it count?

Right - I see.
Thanks for putting me in on this.
And of course I knew "My Sharona" - just never knew the name of the band.
Unfortunately, Terry sometimes ends up doing VERY weird recordings to make a
living...
I think he should simply stick to his solo drumming. His style, I feel, doesn't
really fit into any band context anymore.

Well - haven't heard anything new by them for a long time, but they're still
around...

For me, the revelation among the KCCC disks was the one recorded at the
Beat Club, Bremen in 1972 (by what is usually called the 1973-74 band,
getting an early start). In addition to performances of "Exiles" and
"Lark Tongues in Aspic Part 1", the bulk of the disk is taken up by a
half-hour long improv featuring Derek Bailey's occasional coconspirator
Jamie Muir.
The Jacksonville cover of the Pharoah Sanders tune seems kinda
perfunctory to me -- it sounds like Boz just started singing the one
line of it repeatedly, and the rest fell in behind him. But it's
still a good listen.

Could one possibly have survived the past couple of decades without being

- - Seems highly improbable. I thought this was the most overplayed tune of its
era (making it on to numerous KTEL compilations and spinoffs). I still will
hear mention of this song title, & I'm sure it still gets airplay on pop-crap
hitlist radio even now. Maybe 'one' was in a coma? plastic bubble? out of the
country for the last 25 years? just learned English?
On another note: Besides Weird Al, another parody version of this tune can be
found on one of the Cheech & Chong soundtracks (Up In Smoke?) entitled "My
Scrotum".
More guilty choices/pleasures: Judas Priest, Asia (I listened to the first
album relentlessly - age 16 - '82), Supertramp (eek!), Manfred Mann's Earth
Band, Echo & the Bunnymen, Big Country

I cut work and stayed up all night to see the "Asia in Asia" concert
live on MTV (the one where Greg Lake sat in for John Wetton). And
Manfred Mann's Earth Band's "Watch" might qualify as another guilty
pleasure for me.
