Screwed!  I'm sh*tforbrains ... Bill Lazur doesn't exist - I meant
to say Glen Branca - he's the dude who mentored Thurston of Sonic
Youth - and his stuff is available through that NMDS catalog (the
address/phone number of which was posted on the net a while back) or
through ROIR ... which I'll get on this list someday ...

Sounds just like "Timewind" by Klaus Schulze!

Hey Jim - 

Those Jello words came from the January's issue of Spin, with the
Dead Kennedy's interview.  If you that is god-like, you should read
the other things he sez.

Fu-Sheng said I should post this, so don't blame me.  This song is from
a British TV show called "Not The Six O'Clock News".  It was sung by
Pamela Stevenson, now of ex-Saturday Night Live fame.  The lyrics
included are only as accurate as my ears.  If anyone thinks they know
how "aresh aresh tomp pare hairdo" should really read, or knows what a
"Cop Boutique" is, please let me know: 

		OH ENGLAND MY LEOTARD
		(To be sung roughly to the
		 tune of "Them Heavy People")
		----------------------

	I was into yin and yang and half of yoga
	Ginsing and carroway seeds and being a non-smoker
	My carrot quiches were better than the board's were
	And they were thicker than two short ones
	People bought my latest hits cause they like my latex tits
	Everyone is trying hard to get inside my leotard
	Went to my hairdresser to have a hairdo
	He asked if I him knew an aresh aresh tomp pare hairdo
	That's how I was introduced to Gollette, Coctau, and Marcel Brust
	Now whole food cookery is just a sideline
	La la la la la ...
	I went to Cairo and I read the Gnostic
	A corporate form of joining the original Cop-Boutique ah
	Cause I cuff psychosis berries
	And a fibonacci series
	Studied acupuncture and the bible
	Opened the windows in my mind
	"It's not your mind -- it's your body they're into"
	My business manager said
	He said I need an intellect like I need a 
	Hole in the, hole in the, hole in the head
	Though I'm an honorary member of Mensa now
	I'm going to try and keep up the pretense some how
	Would you buy my latest hits because you like my latex tits
	And you're all trying hard to get inside my
	     [...Music changes to "Violin"...]

Sounds like you both missed (or forgot) the 1984 release by Talk Talk
called _It's My Life_.  The title tune is very nice, and so is "Call In
the Night Boy" and "Such a Shame" and "Tomorrow Started" and "Dum Dum
Girl" and....well, you get the idea.  This is one of those records that
I burned out in record time (pun intended?) but it's been long enough
now so that I can enjoy it again.  Mark Hollis is still the singer, and
the band still has a keyboard dominated sound, although Robbie McIntosh
does add some guitar to this album (the album that had "Talk Talk" on
it, called _The Party's Over_, had no guitar).  Also features my favorite
percussionist, Morris Pert.  Nice cover art too, done by the same guy
who did _The Party's Over_, James Marsh.

when I was up
Anxiety was bringing me down" --"Talk Talk"

Reply-To:  Lippard@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA

Today I bought "Plastic Surgery Disasters" and "In God We Trust, Inc."
on a single CD.  What else besides "Frankenchrist" is left?  ("Fresh
Fruit for Rotting Vegetables" has been available on CD for a while
already.)

Tim:  Thanks for the pointer to the source of those Jello comments.
I'll have to pick up a copy of that issue of Spin, if it's still
available.

>Yeah great album!  But it's nothing like King Crimson.  And Daryl Hall
>(oh boy!!!) co-wrote and sings on several of the song -- can you dig it?

I wouldn't slag off Daryl Hall (no relation) so quickly.  Sure most of his
stuff with Oates is pure pap for modern morons, but the tunes he sings on
on _Exposure_ (You Burn Me Up I'm a Cigarette, North Star, Chicago <--(does
he sing this one?)) are first rate.  His solo album _Sacred Songs_, produced
by and featuring Fripp, also has great stuff on it, like "The Farther Away
I Am", "Why Was It So Easy", "Babs and Babs" and "NYCNY" (the transition from 
the tranquil "Urban Landscape", a nice little piece of Frippertronics, to the 
frenetic "NYCNY" is great for getting people to jump out of their chairs).

and I know where I stand."
