Greg,
I guess I'm safe. I own no khaki pants. Is seersucker acceptable on a
bill with CVS?
I've known Chris awhile but haven't seen him in about 3 years.
Greg, I thinks I needs an explanation on this one. I guess I wasn't at
the "khaki" show.

Ray, if you're going to share a bill with Chris Von Sneidern, I
strongly urge you not to wear khaki pants that night. Just trust me on this
one.

~~~~~holy shit, greg. that got me going this
afternoon.
and, i've been meaning to do this forever, but have
just been WAY too lazy...
for greg sager, bob hutton, bob kelly, but ESPECIALLY
my dear friend, chris von sneidern:
from the textbook "speaking clearly: the basics of
voice and articulation" ---
p. 1:
"an *accent* is the sound and sound structure of a
speaker's first language carried over into a second
language. it is the effect of the phonetic habits and
the mode of utterance of a particular language on the
speaker's new language."
"a *dialect* is a variation of a spoken language.
dialects may differ in articulation, pronunciation,
stress, intonation, meaning and structure. simply, a
dialect is a variation of the language of a particular
speech community. dialects can be classified into
geographic, socioeconomic, and ethnocultural
categories."
since ENGLISH is the language of people from britain,
scotland, wales, america and ireland.....they all have
different *dialects* of that language. e.g. bob
hutton, bob kelly, and me.
so, CVS....how much was that bet?? at least 25 bucks,
i think....
love and smooches,
jocelyn

(The Real) Tuesday Weld comes to New York
======================================
I usually don't post stuff around here to hype bands and shows but I
just
wanted to send out this quick note about the United States live debut of
(The
Real) Tuesday Weld on Wednesday, June 25 at The Fez. They done records
on
Dreamy Records UK, Kindercore USA and Bambini in Japan. Below is a
review of show
in London a couple weeks back when they opened for Future Bible Heroes
(I
think it was that show that the review came from) that appeared in the
Daily
Telegraph in London.
======================================
Finger-Clicking Good - (The Real) Tuesday Weld at The Spitz, E1
(Sukhdev Sandhu)
Now that even Radio 2 fills its schedules with Britpop and new wave,
what
future lies in store for those of us who think popular music died when
noisy
guitars became all the rage?
Surely nothing beats a good tune by Al Bowlly or by Ambrose and His
Orchestra? These days there's no Dennis Potter to champion them. Those
beautiful songs,
dripping with melodies, lavish in emotion, so sad and so sophisticated,
are
rarely heard today. Soon they may become as remote and historical as
lieder
music.
Hurrah then for (The Real) Tuesday Weld, aka Stephen Coates. The
Clerkenwell
Kid, as he sometimes calls himself, has gained a large word-of-mouth
following
in France and America as well as here for his ability to cut-and-paste
old
78rpm grooves and combine them with droll but affecting lyrics that
explore the
vagaries of the human heart.
His songs are beautifully arranged, witty (titles include L'Amour et La
Morte
and Terminally Ambivalent Over You), and evocative of nothing so much as
a
happy coming together of Hutch, George Brassens and Neil Tennant.
How right that on this, one of their rare live performances, Coates's
band
spurned denim and leather, and were dressed in immaculate suits and
cuff-linked
shirts. They looked like the kind of musicians Londoners in wartime
would
flock to in order to forget about the bombs raining down above them on
Leicester
Square.
The songs, stripped clean of beats and reassembled for guitar, bass and
clarinet (played superbly by Jacques Van Rhijn), were performed with the
trust and
rhythmic dexterity of a jazz quartet. On opener Anything But Love,the
audience
cooed with delight at the sight of the entire band on synchronised
finger-clicks.Ý Coates himself is a hugely winning lead singer, shaking
a tin of mint
balls as percussion, waxing lyrical about Serge Gainsbourg, dedicating
the song
George to his uncle who was "somewhat to the right of Enoch Powell"
("First-class degree in navel-gazing/Funny views on food and Asians").
For all his lightness of touch and the wide variety of tunes, what was
very
clear that this was pop played for keeps, not for laughs or nostalgic
fun.
Songs such as The Ugly and the Beautiful and the wonderful closer
Someday show him
to be an anatomist of love easily the rival of, say, the better-known
Stephen
Merritt.
If Alain de Botton were in a band, (The Real) Tuesday Weld would be it.
As
long as Coates keeps making records, the good old days needn't be in the past.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
======================================
Be there when (The Real) Tuesday Weld make their United States debut in
New
York on Wednesday, June 25 at The Fez

... which inevitably reminds me of an evening I spent in a beer tent
at Oktoberfest in Munich ten years ago with a couple of my college friends.
A pack of young Scotsmen wearing kilts and Oktoberfest t-shirts overheard
our Yank accents and, in a fit of lager-soaked international bonhomie,
surrounded our table and began serenading us with a woozy version of
"American Pie". Not to be outdone, the three of us returned the favor by
singing the first Scotland-derived pop song we could think of whose
words we
all knew, "Stuck In the Middle With You" by Stealers Wheel. This
prompted an
even woozier version of "California Girls" by our new drinking companions.
One of my friends, an inveterate Beatles fanatic, then began our next turn
in this strange contest by starting to sing "Mull of Kintyre". One of the
Scotsmen made a sour face and said, "I hate that song."
Genuinely puzzled, my friend asked, "How can you hate that song?
It's about a place in Scotland, and it's got bagpipes in it."
To which the Scotsman retorted, "Does that mean that all Americans
fancy banjo versions of "Rocky Top"?"
"Good point," said my friend.

Either people are being very crafty and waiting for the last minute or I
don't know what, but a bunch of my CD's on Ebay are going to end in the
next 4 to 7 hours with NO bids and that, folks, is just plain wrong.
Most start at $4.00 w/ $1.00 post which is a pretty good bargain I'd
say. Items such as Josh Rouse/Negro Problem/Posies/autographed Sarah
McLachlan f'goodness sake.
So please check this stuff out my ebay name is: Telephono
regards, Judith
ps. On Ebay I'm selling one of the Superconductor cd's 'hit songs for
girls' which is super noisy, somewhat melodic and features Carl "new
pornographers" Newman on lead yelping (it's actually a pretty good cd).
I'll do cdr trades for equally rare/unusual/live music...write me.

Actually I think I experienced this firsthand myself. For awhile I think
I
had my head up my proverbial ass while I deeply explored pop, buying up
the
entire Nick Lowe catalog, for example, and perhaps granting unequal
weight to the
influence of our 'lil genre's forbears. Then I got a job in a record
store,
and saw how much the tastes of many of my peers--people who are very
educated
and passionate about music, too--differed from mine. The time since then
(and
this has been awhile, now...) has been spent largely exploring THEIR
tastes. The
fact is that most of them, though, have compartmentalized, too--into
hip/hop,
electronic music (I use broad terms because electro, house, trance, etc.
are
actually quite different genres from one another), jazz, a trillion
different
genres of indie rock (emo, punk, punk/pop, nu-garage/hipster stuff,
power-pop,
etc). Learning from people who took a different route is pretty fun, and
its
surprising how much of this stuff fits in nicely with what we love, too.
But
the fact is that if I hadn't made the leap to a more old-fashioned way
of
exploring music--via word of mouth with a random group of people who all
are united
in their love of "music"--then I would miss out on all that, even though
I
would certainly have kept exploring and loving new music on my own.
Also, back to the whole "tastes are formed when you're younger"
argument--I
grew up on Billy Joel and Elton John. I don't listen to much of either
now, and
I find much of the catalogs of each to be somewhat embarrassing (each
has
some pretty classic LPs, but a ton of dreck, too). But I can hear their
influence
in tons of things (maybe even MOST things) that I love now.
And also while we're "fessing up" about embarassing acts we do listen
to/have
listened to, here's mine: Roxette. I'm 22, so that would've made me 8
when
they broke through, and 14 when they began to fade away stateside, but
I've
bought up all their albums over the years and still listen to them
regularly.
Their lyrics are frequently awful, but Per and Marie know how to put
together
immensely catchy pop singles, and they mingle two wildly disparate
voices with two
wildly disparate musical styles (smooth, slick, ballady pop and driving,
arena-friendly hard rock) in ways not frequently seen. A guilty
pleasure? Yes. But
do I love them anyway? Oh yes. --Jason
