"Mountains come out of the sky" doesn't rhyme with another lyric in that
song, so you're analogy doesn't quite work. Also, "mountains come out of
the sky" is a very visual, poetic line - you can picture the clouds
obscuring the mountaintops, so that the mountains seem to have descended to
earth from an unseen mountain factory or something. "I eat at Chez Nous"
sounds like a drunken bet or an out-of-ideas line. The word "eat" in that
line seems to interrupt the flow, and the "Chez Nous" thing seems like
"duude, check it out, I know two words of French."

Why must one be a Zappa fan to "get it" when it's a Captain Beefheart
reference? Yeah, Zappa and Beefheart often collaborated but Beefheart, not
Zappa, wrote "Ella Guru."
I'm not even a Beefheart fan . . . this, like Dave Mattacks, takes us back
to XTC. Turns out Andy Partridge IS a Beefheart fan, and XTC covered "Ella
Guru" for a tribute album called "Fast 'n' Bulbous" (a lyric from "Ella
Guru"). They also used the track as a B-side for the 12-inch vinyl and
5-inch CD single versions of "Mayor of Simpleton."
Relayer54
I stand corrected. I used to own that Beefheart album on vinyl and
should have know better; probably screwed up due to the fact I recently
listened to Bongo Fury and got mixed up. Yes, I know Ella isn't on Bongo
Fury.

It's pretty fun, but you have to have the Crack the Sky mindset. It's from
the first album, which also has "She's a Dancer" and "Ice," which are
pretty cool as well. On the other hand, their live album, though they made
it without John Palumbo, is indespensible for the bizarre cover of "I am
the Walrus."

Duran also had an album with no artwork and ugly colors on the cover called

The worst Yes song, though, was "Big Generator". Remember the lyrics? And
the really bad "orchestral stab" keyboard sound. I am guessing here, but I
don't think that was Rick Wakeman doing the keyboards on that.
Imagine if they would have played "Big Generator" at the Masterworks
tour, right after "Gates of Delerium". That would have been really amazingly

No, the script was in legal troubles for a long time, but production has
recently begun on the film. In fact, a construction worker was recently
killed on the set.
It will have Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane
Watson, Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn / The Green Goblin.
May 2002 is the current release date.

Pretty much. This time principal photography has started, so it seems likely

Paul, I hope you've had your flu shot. My cold developed into the flu, then
into pnemonia last month. There's something really nasty going around out
there.

Silver Age (especially the early part) stuff still commands impressive
prices, but only for the upper echelon in condition. This is one case where
the comics back-issue market shakeout has actually worked for the better, as
previously the assumption was that copies going down the condition scale
should be based on the price of a near-mint. Now it's more sensible, even
though it means I missed my chance at getting some interest on my
'investments.'
Now that I'm actively trying to get rid of my remaining collection, it seems
clear the fun was in the hunting. Having them sitting around in boxes (30 of
them at the height!) just seems pointless, especially when I've got a new
telescope that needs accessories........

Well, that's Marvel's fault. When the movie came out, they didn't
captitalize well on the comic book conection, and therefore didn't draw in
any new readers, which could have had people looking for these earlier
issues.

Yeah. Actually, what irked me as a long-time X-collector was Marvel "cashing" in
on the Matrix type effects (good movie that it was, albeit typical 3-scene
narrative), not acknowledging that the whole thing was based on a 1970's
Adams/Thomas comic...Xmen 63 (to some extent) and then they had the gall to
change the classic X-men logo on the recent comics covers to try and attract the
new readers that didn't exist thereby alienating the established readership.
Lenil Francis Yu sux too.
Anyway, thank Gawd that Claremonts off the main title, Marvel have relaced the
classic logo and we'll see what brilliance Morrison ad Quietly can come up with.
I'm still a bit pissed off with Quietly's departure from "The Authority" as that
was really going somewhere. Expect to see regular fill-in issues on the X book
cos that chappee Frank certainly dosn't have a great rep for meeting monthly
deadlines.

Collector mentality indeed. I'm often dismayed at how few times I go back and
re-read things in my collection too.
Back when the first (Keaton) Batman was about to be launched I jumped on the
speculator bandwagon and off-loaded a huge number of Bat books for some good
dollars. Since then the bottom has most definitely hit the bedrock as far as
back issue sales go.

Well, they had to try to draw the readers in somehow. I think that the
Spider-Man movie might be a little easier for Marvel to draw some people
in with. Even using the "Ultimate" Spider-Man to reestablish a fan base
would work pretty well.
>Anyway, thank Gawd that Claremonts off the main title, Marvel have relaced the

Well, I stopped reading the X-Men titles a few years back. The titles I
liked where the ones not too tied into the continuity (Mutant X &
X-Men: The Hidden Years) which they are both cancelling. I just couldn't
follow the soap opera any more.
>I'm still a bit pissed off with Quietly's departure from "The

I had just started picking up a few of "The Authority" when I head the
news. Nertz. But really it's just any superhero group with a "take no
prisoners" attitude. Their viciousness got turned up a notch, but nothing
new there.

It could be worse and they do what they did with Daredevil.

Sometimes when a storyline is done I'll reread the comics. I had reread a
bunch of recent "Starman" comics, which was really good. I may go back
over Alan Moore's "Top 10" when I get the chance.
But really, you keep getting new stuff, who has time to reread the old
stuff?

You should have seen the prices of some of the Star Wars stuff people were
unloading pre-Episode I. I know I made about $200 or so unloading my old
action figures.
I did resell some of the "death of Superman" books right before he was
coming back & made a little bit of money.

Trust me, there are far worse things than that. My father in-law has a
huge "office" in his house with a lot of baseball memorabilia. Most of I
can understand, but there are some things that are kinda scary, like:
-industrial-size mustard jars with stadium logo's on them
-boxes of Wheaties four or five rows deep
-Coca-Cola cans with stadium logos
-actual corn from the Field of Dreams in Iowa
and oh so much more.

I like all there stuff, but remixes can be a bit much, at times. It can
spread a song out too long so that it becomes monotonous. Note, not all
remixes are bad. I've heard some very good one, but others are a bit much.

I like the Buggles. Very nice light weight pop. Still, I wouldn't
bother with the singles unless they had something unique on them. Did you
get some of their picture singles?

The Buggles truthfully sound not a heck of a lot different than a myriad of
other "New Wave" bands of that era, most which you'd likely disavow in a

The Fixx, Dire Straits and many others. I think it all makes rather
pleasant pop music. It is a hell of a lot more intelligent and more
interesting than metal at the same period in time. Still, it isn't nearly
as good as prog, but that is merely my humble opinion.

Well I guess inevitably our preferences must part.......I hate "pleasant pop
music", I like my music to be first and foremost---- Great and challenging
vocals. Thats why I love Yes so much, and always will. I've seen Jon close
to 50 times, and he's never let me down vocally, although for sure I've seen
him whan he was struggling a bit, but he was always *on key* and giving it
his all, or pretty damn close to it. The only other vocal "artistes" that
can generally do that for me are Tony Bennet (no joke, I've seen him half a
dozen times and he is astonising in his technique and delivery-----go to
Napster and download "When The Bells Ring For Me"--- its an obscure song but
it will send shivers down your spine) and some of the metal singers, Halford
(in his prime he was vocally untouchable) and in many ways, some of the
70's and early 80's metal songs could quite easily fit the description of
"progressive" as defined in a recent thread.......
Paul
Theus
A lot of New Wave was heavily influenced by the art rock movement that
came before it. Probably the music that owes the most to prog next to AOR
and New Age music.

My problem with metal is it sound extremely formulaic to my ears.
Basically endless riffing with the occasional guitar solo thrown on top. Now
some of the musicians may very well be skilled, but the music they are
playing rarely demands more than the occasional difficult guitar solo, at
best. I prefer music to have nuiances of either sound, rhythm or melody.
The more ovariety of these the song has, the better. Metal is usually
lacking in all three, IMHO. I like some AOR and neoprog, but then that
isn't realy metal and it isn't really great prog either.

And their The Seduction of Claude Debussy from 1999 is one of the more
'progressive' albums of the nineties, if you take it to mean music that is
original, intelligent, complex, well-arranged and that develops themes
continuously throughout its length. You could certainly do worse in these
times of repetitive verse-chorus-verse structures and limited imaginations
and ambitions. It's immaculately produced, too.
And besides, Close to the Edit is still a damn classic.
