Just a casual remark on AfricaBrass's newest avatars. I still laugh because they change so frequently. Thanks for the laughs. By the way, Revolution 9 scared me as a kid; I'm talking 8 or 9 I had The White Album. It wasn't until the cds came out that I reevaluated and decided I liked it. I also had Magical Mystery Tour at that age with the booklet and the picture of Lennon in a waiter's uniform shoveling spaghetti onto Auntie Jessie's plate ALWAYS upset me, still does.

Anyone? Anyone? Beuhler?

Oh man, you're high.

Nevermind, I found out he's on only one song. Anyway, I've been trying to buy Kirk's somewhat chronlogically and have hit some stumbling blocks. After listening to clips, I just didn't like the majority of Left & Right, Blacknuss, The 3 Sided Dream & Meeting Of The Times. From what I've heard of the rest of the 70's stuff, I'm willing to take a chance on them.

Wait, hold on just a nose picking minute...IASW never had a metal spine, so why are they reissuing it?

Speaking of Revolution 9...in reference to the Paul Is Dead rumor, has anyone found any clues not mentioned anywhere? I credit myself with having found the first Anti-Paul Is Dead clue. The last thing you hear on Revolution 9 is a crowd chanting "Block that kick.", but if you bead your eyes, turn your head at a 46 degree angle during a full lunar eclipse; you can hear what they're actually saying which is..... Block that kick. No, no; only joking. It's "Paul's not dead". Try it. -_-

Aaaahhhh! There are in a different sequence. Thank you Paul. Now I can't find Reeds & Deeds & the Benny Golson one. Forgot to add these are Kirk cds, heh, heh.

Does anyone have this record or cd by Tubby Hayes? Every track listing I find is the same as on the Roland Kirk box set which is fine, but I just want to make sure. Thanks. Musicgeek, over & out.

I've seen video where McCartney says You Know My Name is one of his favorites. I think it's in Anthology (the video, I mean).

If we're including pre-Beatlemania songs then I vote for Love Of The Loved - McCartney, who else? This is on Anthology 1, part of their Decca audition. Also Harrison's You Know What To Do on Anthology 1 & You Like Me Too Much; yes, that's my actual vote, You Like Me Too Much. I love Don't Bother Me though. Favorite of all: Tomorrow Never Knows

I love them all, though some less than others: Good Night, Ask Me Why, She Loves You didn't age well.

You know the ones I mean, portable cassette tape holders? They only make 36 now. Does anyone have a 60 they're not using anymore? Not looking for mint condition, just good. Please PM. Thanks.

My favorite part is during Sanders solo and he overblows a couple of notes & it sounds exactly like feedback from a guitar amp. I always listen to those notes over & over. The only time the album scared me was after eating my first pot brownie. I just kept saying, "Geez, this stuff is kinda scary."

New avatar for Berigan!

Any opinions of Les McCann Live at Montreux with Kirk as a sideman?

AfricaBrass: the title of Cat Boxing should've been Litter Boxing. Berigan: can we see a blown up version of your avatar? Dan Gould: did you ever watch The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley? It was a cartoon on Saturday mornings in 1988. Just 13 episodes. I mention that because during the run of the show, they had an Ed Grimley look alike contest for, I think, under & over 21 years of age. I came in as a runner up in the under 21 category. I still have my 8 X 10 glossies, a huge pin with the shows title on it & a certificate with my name on it. I had to put so much gel in my hair to keep the front point up!

The National...

The Eddie Baccus album; that's just one song with Kirk on it, right? A Breath On The Wind which is on the Mercury box.

Does anyone have these two sideman dates of Kirk: Roy Haynes-Out Of The Afternoon Eddie Baccus-Feel Real Are they worth getting?

AfricaBrass, Cat Shatner with breasts is hysterical! Where did you actually get that cat head anyway?

Mine is a love of AfricaBrass's avatars, especially the Herb Alpert album cover; that one was still the best.

I just listened to Natrual Black Inventions=Root Strata for the first time and I really liked it. Kirk plays almost everything at the same time. I can understand why it was his worst selling, it's that GOOD!

I understand what you're saying DrJ. To me it feels like weaker songs started to get put on albums starting with Candy Apple Grey. There were still great songs, but some seemed almost generic though still sounded better live. Maybe that's it, listening to songs from Warehouse live on The Living End, there's more energy there, but that energy loss in production started on Flip Your Wig when they started to produce themselves despite great songs, but also the songs started to have more depth to them when played at a medium tempo. I'm not saying there wasn't generic sounding songs earlier on either, hardcore becomes generic after (or during) one album, but it's that energy I love which is why I have this opinion no matter how awful, from a song writing point of view, those songs are, I don't think they are weak. It's more the excitement than the song during that period. I think there's a case to be made for albums written while finding your voice for songwriting (Land Speed Record, Everything Falls Apart, Metal Circus & even Zen Arcade because of it's experimentation with their sound), and the albums written when you've hit a peak (New Day Rising & Flip Your Wig), and then the burnout of the other side of that peak (Candy Apple Grey & Warehouse). From 1982-1985 they were recording their next album while the previous one was being released. I think anyone would start to burn out going non-stop like that along with touring. I read somewhere that at the time of their breakup, they were working on their next album and in retrospect, Grant Hart said he felt they were about to make their worst album. I have a practice bootleg from 11/87 that has six instrumentals on it, all their new stuff at that time. I feel starting with some of Flip Your Wig, they would've fit perfectly on a John Hughes movie soundtrack. Two of the songs are on The Living End, "Now That You Know Me" & "Ain't No Water In The Well". I still would've liked this album had it come to frution, but I think I understand what Hart was getting at. He also felt Mould's songs were getting more "square", which pretty much means they didn't care for each others songs anymore. It's time to call it a day when that happens. Also when Mould tells Hart after Warehouse that he will never have 50% of a Husker album, time to tell 'em to go fuck himself & leave.

Hello Dr. Strangelove!

There a video on ebay right now from 1981 of one of their shows. I have a bad copy of this, but the ebay one looks better. It's right at their Land Speed Record time. Twin/Tone actually professionally filmed it, but did nothing with it and it eventually got bootlegged. It's funny to see Bob Mould at 19 or 20 all herky-jerky on stage & Greg Norton without a moustach!
