Chewing Wax:
And look what was waiting for me in the mail. Things are looking up a bit.
(Fri Feb 16, 2001 - 12:54:26 pm)
Heruka:
Is that for me? Are you going to meet me at the door? Or would it be best to just mail it to me? The choice is yours.
(Fri Feb 16, 2001 - 1:49:00 pm)
Chewing Wax:
I'll meet you there.
(Fri Feb 16, 2001 - 1:50:52 pm)

That's a sexy little ticket you got there, Wax.
(Fri Feb 16, 2001 - 4:51:21 pm)
Myk Murphy:
i'm looking forward to getting my own version of that, wax. the new 930 club is a bit big to sell out, i'm guessing, so i might buy 'em at the door.

Those sumbitches are NOT comping tickets for Soft Boys! Bastards!

Queenie:
By the way, I've decided to get an on-site job through summer so I can stay home with Sidney when school's out. It's so much more tolerable to me if there's a light at the end of the tunnel so to speak.

Myk Murphy:
have you checked out the "satellite of love" cover by grant lee hitchcock? it's linked off of fegmania, at the bottom. that should improve your mood a bit. also, i was pleased to read that the re-release of "underwater moonlight" is called "underwater moonlight... and how it got there." that makes me smile.
(Fri Feb 16, 2001 - 5:19:52 pm)
Queenie:
Heh. Actually my mood is fine...better at least. It's just sad when you realize that the little business you've been building for over 5 years can no longer sustain you and you have to go back to what you did before to make ends meet. It's like going backwards, you know? But I'm not going to be sad or angry about it anymore. Me and Ken made a list of things we want to get in the next few months, including that beautiful bicycle for me, and it helped to see on paper all the nice things we could get, as well as bills we can pay off, if we just work our butts off for a few months.

Myk Murphy:
cheers to that. freedom from looming debt is a wonderful thing, and it's worth nearly any price.

Queenie:
This is the attitude I am trying to have. Though I still think that liberty and the pursuit of happiness contradict each other.
(Fri Feb 16, 2001 - 5:26:37 pm)
Myk Murphy:
heh heh, well stated. dinner's ready, so enjoy your evening and pursue a reasonable amount of happiness.

One cheerful thought is that we intend to finish our bathroom renovation this weekend! Woo hoo!

Good times and witches

Heruka:
I would mind seeing the SB's. I'm not really a fan. Actually I don't like them. But it would be a show worth seeing. The problem is, I'd have to do some travelling to either Detroit or Toronto. From my place I believe Detroit is roughly 50 milles closer. I don't think CW or theo want to see me either. I was going to meet theo at the Robyn show is the Flaming lips and them when they toured. I don't remember why I didn't. I didn't miss much anyway. And CW, at one time he seemed to want to meet up. These days he's grown cold on me though. I don't know.

Mo:
Hey everybody, I get 10 Million a year to get three outs a game.
(Sat Feb 17, 2001 - 9:11:25 am)
Mo:
Let's see, if the Yankees win 100 games, I may be in 60 out of the 162 games; as the closer, thats $167,000 per ininng. If I strike out the side, thats $56,000 per strike out. For a sold out Yankee Stadium, that's only a buck per fan per strike out. Seems reasonable to me. Nice country, America.

: >Syd Barrett Song Unearthed > >Former Pink Floyd mastermind lampoons Dylan in 1970 track > >"Bob Dylan's Blues" might be an uncharacteristically prosaic title from a >man better known for his songs about gnomes, octopuses and effervescing >elephants. But as this newly unearthed Syd Barrett song -- to be included >on a new compilation, Wouldn't You Miss Me (EMI), which is due for release >in the U.K. on April 16th -- suggests, Pink Floyd's original "Crazy >Diamond" was far from immune to the occasional mortal influence. >Barrett, the errant star of British psychedelia, masterminded Pink Floyd's >early success before a combination of a nervous breakdown and a tendency >to overindulge in the era's more potent stimulants prompted his departure >from the group early in 1968. Tales of mammoth drug binges, erratic stage >performances and baffling behavioral traits inevitably earned Barrett the >"acid casualty" epithet. After two solo albums, The Madcap Laughs and >Barrett, both clearly the work of a wildly distracted man, he simply >disappeared from view, taking up residence in the cellar of his family >home in Cambridge. Turning his back on rock & roll, he returned to >painting. Occasional Syd sightings, each one depicting the acid rock >pin-up as increasingly bald and overweight, prompted inevitable rumors of >renewed activity, but aside from a disastrous studio session in 1974, he's >maintained a strange, intensely private silence. Since the death of his >mother in the early Nineties, Syd Barrett lives alone in Cambridge, >suffers from diabetes and is tended to by his sister. >The Barrett legend has also been maintained by Pink Floyd themselves, most >noticeably by Roger Waters, whose "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and The >Wall were both inspired by his ex-colleague's mental health problems. Now, >it is guitarist Dave Gilmour, Barrett's replacement in Pink Floyd and >producer of his two solo LPs, who provides the fillip. "Bob Dylan's >Blues," a remarkable pastiche unlike anything else in the Barrett canon, >has been culled from Gilmour's private collection and is being released >with the blessing of Barrett's family. >"We knew of the song's existence when we put together [1993's] Crazy >Diamond box set," says project co-ordinator Tim Chacksfield, "but we had >plenty of other material so there was no pressure for us to find it." The >new compilation provided an ideal opportunity to approach Gilmour and >request permission to use the song. But why the guitarist took the master >tape with him after the February 27, 1970 demo session had been completed >remains a mystery. David Parker, author of Random Precision -- Recording >the Music of Syd Barrett 1965-1974, maintains that Gilmour has always >rated the song highly. Chacksfield tends to agree: "The fact that Dave was >happy to let it out says a lot." >Although R&B, improvised music and nursery rhyme-like folksong clearly >influenced Barrett, the Dylan connection is far more obscure. Barrett and >Gilmour -- at the time mere Cambridge-based teenage beat buffs -- did >catch the visiting American at an early show in London in 1963, and it's >likely that "Bob Dylan's Blues" was written during the following months. >Peter Barnes, Pink Floyd's music publisher, maintains, "It's one of Syd's >very earliest songs written before he even had a publishing deal." >The 1970 recording, with Barrett accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, >is a neat take on Dylan's early, talking blues style. While finger-picking >with typical, Dylan-like imprecision, Barrett gently lampoons Dylan's >activism and instead plays up the singer's infamous nonchalance: "Got the >Bob Dylan blues/And the Bob Dylan shoes/And my clothes and my hair's in a >mess/But you know/I just couldn't care less." The chorus is equally >even-handed: "Cos I'm a poet/Doncha know it/And the wind, you can blow >it/Cos I'm Mr. Dylan, the King/And I'm free as a bird on the wing." >Though he later adopted Dylan's unkempt curly-top hairstyle, this is the >first aural evidence of Syd Barrett's early enthusiasm for Dylan and >provides an amusing aside to his more brain-teasing material.

Mr. Wax, accustomed to his friends behavior sat on the pickle bucket and smiled, wishing he were back in Prague with his wild and crazy friends. Of course, that was impossible. They would never let him back into the country now..

Whatever happened to Underwater Moonlight?:
Underwater Moonlight sat sideways and motionless on the sandy beach. He could feel the sea lapping gently at his plastic box hinges and it felt good. Once again he had evaded the grasp of Chewing Wax and he gave a little shudder of glee which caused the plastic box teeth to bend a little. His shiny silver body was expanding ever so slightly under the sun’s rays, but it didn’t bother him too much; better this than another cold Buffalo winter. Just then he saw the beach waitress and decided to order another Pina Colada.
