Thanks to Rachel's excellent Orb discography, I discovered that there was a 12" Japanese promo with a remix from Thomas Fehlmann. WHO HAS IT ? :) Is it any good ? Really different ? JCFromParis

Sorry to blast the list with posts to old posts but... Terrence Mckenna: I love reading his stuff. Anyone who will INJECT thousands of micrograms of acid AND large quantities of Ketamin, and then go into an isolation tank for fifteen or more hours is either more advanced than us or a nutjob. You decide. I drove down to my parents' house for an early birthday supper and listened to a bunch of stuff I downloaded from Thrash's House of Poop (as I've named his server). This included some killer shit by Lemon Jelly and a ton of stuff from Plaid and some DJ Food. Tom Dissevelt is one artist (from 1957) that is mind boggling. There is one cut that sounds like Aphex Twin through a big, distorted reverb right at the beginning. Really out there, man. So thanks, Kwissy, for the sounds. It's four hours each way so I just ran out the cd-r of mp3s as I got back. Psychic TV is very variable. Allegory and Self is kind of done in the style of a pop album. All the songs are very short and done with a band. It's not incredible but several of the songs are extremely good. Lenny Kravitz: I fucking hate him. He is so derivative it makes me want to fucking PUKE. He's also a stinky little fucker. Steve Hillage was not the first person to use heavy delay at the end of his guitar fx. David Gilmour was doing it. Robert Fripp was doing it. Tony Levin was doing it (ok, different guitar but...). The thing is to find a good enough drummer to allow you to play guitar with a delay like that. It's tough especially if it's not a single slapback. Robert Palmer RIP -- A little note to all you aging rock and rollers: When they say "heart attack" when they're in their early fifties it usually means "too much cocaine." That shit's hard on your heart so get started stopping today! Your birthday present to me can be your purchase of my dark ambient album "Dream It Was Crazy" from my website below. Soon to include a cd-r of mp3s!!! www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "I'm the commander--see, I don't need to explain--I do not need to explain why I say things.

><< I was recently lamenting the absence of stupid, overblown crap like Styx >or ELP or Rush. >> > >"absence"? i know that Rush just released a live show (SARSstock in >Toronoto earlier this year) in MP3 on their website. [NOTE: i did not >download this, but the Film Critic for my site is a huge Rush fan, and he >was going on about it....] Rush's DVD of the Rio concert will be released soon as well. Saw show in SF - it was ok, but too much old/slow stuff. After such a great/strong album (I rate Vapor Trails even with Moving Pictures as my favorites from them, with Power Windows a current 2nd - changes w/what I'm into at moment), it was disappointing that they did not do more of the material from it on tour. ><< Does anyone here like Psychic TV? >> > >they have such a wide variety of stuff out there -- some of it great, some >tedious. i like some of it...

Go see them perform or go to a performance of any of their pieces. I saw them a couple of times and it was either serenely bizarre or so loud the PA was clipping. They seriously overdrove the PA at Jimmy's in New Orleans. I think they were trying to destroy it since Jimmy's pretty much an asshole. They had two monster disco balls (I mean huge) on either side of the stage with shitloads of smoke and only bright, white spots on the balls. It was overwhelming. Actually it sounded best from about a half a block away in the street. Killer. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind.

Looking for clues, what a great track ! AFAIR, Andy Hughes worked with Robert Palmer circa 1999-2000, but I never found on which tracks. JCFromParis On now : Afro Celt Sound System - Release (MAW Main Mix)

Have some respect, the man was a class act through and through, not too mention that he was a great singer. Have you ever heard Sneaking Sally Through the Alley, it's about as funky as an English bloke could ever hope to be. I'll be dedicating Addictied to Love to him tonight at karaoke, that's for sure.

Bill Hicks/ VM commersh
by Ernest Borg9 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

Both the scourge of our existence and the refrence point to reality, the now infamous Jordi & whats-her-fuck interview and such in LFC is how Orb is know to outsiders. I remember bein at Area1 and some drug-addled kid from the selfish generation-ecstasy group asked me late in the gig "hey man they play that Arizona song, about the desert yet?" and me, being the tangent going off on person I am immed though, "Hotel California?" , "No man, the desert and the sky and shit......" oh, ok they played that hit already... anyhow A friend burned me an mp3 disco of Bill Hicks, Frank Black, and like two books worth of Terrence Mckenna (damn space time continum, can't tell if they're cool or not?). Anyhow... Bill Hicks says something about ' I want you to listen to what I am about to say, ECH THIS IN FUCKING STONE, AS I DON"T WANT YOU TO FORGET IT...." then he claims any, band, thats ANY band that uses its music to sell a product should be automatically elimated for artistic contention.. .. which is a fun idea although his music has gotten gay as fuck, Maryilin Manson was in St. Paul, MN here recently and spent the week in the St.Paul hotel... he was on trial for molesting a security guard who was literally laughed out of court.... he had video of him laughing and gettin autographs after manson allegedly "gyrated his groin and pelvis onto the head of the security person." good times good times.... I hope the cats from Killing Joke do that whn i see them this fall. Stiffler So there goes Orb, Led Zeppelin, Len Kravits (romeo blue poof) and Moby 28X over also..... my NEW favorite "band" Plaid whom, I think I am the only one who noticed, appears in some capacity in a recent Pantene shampoo commercial here in the states. Ahhh , gotta love dem greenbacks and loonies and euros and betrothed wives that turn us all greedy. _________________________________________________________________ Instant message during games with MSN Messenger 6.0.
