Dear Gyg, I mean Steve,

Solsbury Hill by about a hundred billion lite years.

Dear Jason,

That is a very good spoof. Very funnish.

Dear Jon,

Why you break heart all time?

"Solsbury Hill" for me, too, S.

J/T,

How similar are the guitar parts?

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Friday, 28 April 2006 20:17 (twenty years ago)

I don't know. Did Gabriel nick "Cecilia" a little? I think my favorite solo Paul Simon hit is "Mother and Child Reunion."

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Friday, 28 April 2006 20:29 (twenty years ago)

"kodachrome" dude!

― j blount (papa la bas), Friday, 28 April 2006 20:57 (twenty years ago)

"Kodachrome" woulda been so much better if he'd said "shit" instead of "crap" tho

timmy, tell me about the George Harrison album Gone Troppo. it get's pretty shitty reviews, but this review makes it sound like i might like it. i mean at least the new wave aspects:

Generally overlooked in the ex-Beatle's solo discography, 1982's GONE TROPPO finds George Harrison flirting with radio-friendly, synth-driven pop hooks of the early-1980s, while still demonstrating his penchant for great, timeless melodies. The opener, "Wake Up My Love," establishes the light, breezy tone of the album, which continues through the Caribbean-via-Fab Four vibe of the title track. The languid love song "Unknown Delight" and the goofy doo-wop of "I Really Love You," which recalls Beatles novelty numbers such as "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)," vary the record's feel and pace. The 2004 reissue includes an acoustic demo version of the song "Mystical One," which is arguably--given its intimacy and stripped-down production--the album's strongest track.

I think Tim devoted an entire issue to Gone Troppo, I have it at home (but I don't think you read?).

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 20:36 (nineteen years ago)

i don't know how to read. sheesh. way to rub it in

― jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 20:54 (nineteen years ago)

dude, i'm pretty sure you told me that you don't read!

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 21:04 (nineteen years ago)

all i do all day long is read. fucking ILX.

i just have a short attention span. i do a lot of magazine reading. but i just finished Sedaris's Naked. first non-music book i've read since i moved to SF i think.

― jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

check your email, you only included half of what you were supposed to send.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 21:13 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I love that album, Jaxon. "Wake up My Love" is probably the only really new wave track. His other really cool new wave track is "Blood from a Clone" on Somewhere in England - not the best of those albums but certainly worth a dollar or two. Gone Troppo is a cool sounding record in general, though, with good songs. Also his wackiest album.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 00:36 (nineteen years ago)

i just want another McCartney II

WHAT ELSE SOUNDS LIKE MCCARTNEY II???!!!

― jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 02:22 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, nothing I know of. Are you familiar with the story about how it was originally a double album that was edited down? There is this bootleg that purports to be the original album sequencing:

Hola Tim,

I was listening to a podcast that mentioned that Night Soil Man for undisclosed reasons that 2 members of the band refused to talk about.

A quick perusal of the LA Times site circa 1990 mentions that The Pulltoys singer Scott Ireland broke his neck during a video shoot. NSM singer Rosebud was romantically involved with Scott but no idea why those dudes would refuse to mention anything about this accident on the podcast 25 years later.

Do you have the scoop?
