hello,
I need some input. There has been much discussion about the BMX Bandits in
the recent past (perhaps someone from B&S has some connection?). So my
local used cd barn has this BMX Bandits cd, but my conscience forbids me
from buying things I have no knowledge of. What are they like? Is this a
worthwhile purchase?
thanks,
Todd

I thought Menswe@r were dead good. I managed to get a copy of their debut
7" (sold out within 2 hours - Aye, my arse. I bought it in Stirling on
the Wednesday afternoon), and was thrilled to see on the Chart Show that
weekend that it was worth "as much as �50". Wonder what it's worth
now...?
Ah, the heady BritPop summer of '95. Happy days!

I've got everything they've released except that single, which I thought
was cack.
I actually got to see them live in Glasgow for free, after winning a
competition on their website (it's still there!
http://www.rise.co.uk/menswear/ "New Single 'We Love You' out 28th
August", apparently) and I won a free signed CD of their album, which I
promptly gave to a girl I fancied, and got a snog in return. Pretty good
deal, if you ask me.
FWIW, they have apparently recorded a new album, but London Records have
dropped them, so they're shopping around for a new label.

Debbie,
There's little shame attached to being a fan of Menswear. I have a copy
of their album. They are, I suppose amongst the bands which promised
much and sadly failed to deliver. The same can be said for Flowered Up I
suppose. Menswear's 'Daydreamer' was a superb record, reminiscent
of Wire and early XTC. The follow up singles, quite frankly, weren't.
Flowered Up did 'It's On' brilliant and a lot of rubbish that ended up on 'A
Life with Brian' though they did redeem themselves with the epic
'Weekender' which I will always associate with a night hike from Bristol
to Bath made just after my finals in '92. I do have quite acute musical
association of this kind, but then I suppose anyone would remember the
song they were singing in the pitch black of a curved railway tunnel at 3
in the morning.....
Mark.

>Keith is a bit harsh on the BMX Bandits.
They have some lovely - if slightly silly - songs.
Well, i dont know what to think... A few months ago, i bought a record
by the BMX Bandits because many people had mentionned this band on the
list and because one track is included in the Montecarlo comp (Elefant
Records), and it's great. So i bought a live cd, the BMX at the 13th
Note (i thought it would be a good introduction to the band and their
lovely songs). But when i came back home, i realised that it was Kim
Fowley AND the BMX Bandits. They seem to have fun on the stage together,
but their music is shite. Really. If anyone of this list wants this CD,
i can send it to him/her... But maybe it doesnt sound like the original
BMX songs. Maybe it's because of this guy, Kim Fowley. Could anyone
DESCRIBE their music instead of saying its's shite/it's ace???
Thanks
Stephane
PS : i'm looking forward to read the book written by the Duke... When
will it be released???

Avoiding work too...
What exactly then are Mark Gardener's new band like then? I liked Carnival
of Light a lot, at least Mark Gardener's stuff on it anyway, Andy Bell spent
the whole time doing a lot of posturing and trying to get into the
limelight, but the harsh reality was that his stuff wasn't as good. I also
found that album quite weird in the sense that a lot of rock drummers all
wind up doing comedy songs, like Keith Moon, on "Cobwebs and Strange" and
obviously Ringo Starr's efforts, however in Ride, the drummer manages to
come up with his one and only song written for the band "Natural Grace" and
it turns out to be one of the best tracks they've ever recorded.
I thought the last Ride album was rubbish, which was a pity, there's
quite a lot of neat "fretwork" on it, and lots of fancy "licks" (cheers Tag)
but the songs are crap, oh well, never mind.
Funny band Ride, I never seemed to be able to put my finger on why I
thought they were quite good. All the signs were that they were a bit
overrated. However, I think the first EP's and the first album worked well
at the time, "Like a Daydream" was out in the summer, then "Taste" and the
first album came out in the autumn which felt right for the way they
sounded... if you get my drift.
Keith.

Mornin' spacebots, time for a confession...
I feel I must get something off my chest, so to speak. Something I've only
ever told one person before.
Yes, 'tis true; I own the complete Menswear back-catalogue. Aaaaaargh! The
shame! But, phew, I've finally admitted it and now my soul can finally rest
in peace...
NB: MSP write 'You Love Us' and receive mass adoration (and justly in my
opinion);
Menswear write 'We Love You' and everyone hates them (because
they're shite?- you tell me...)
that's all for now, I may never live this down...
love and spangles,
Debbie xxx.

good morning sinisterines (and good evening insomniacal americans)
just a few things to say based on alot of random stuff on the list. like
matt, i recently purchased another beanie baby, string bean jean. i figure
that i'm going for the quartet, with judy and jenny. right now, i also
have jane, which was a gift. i am a little frightened at having crossed
that border where i actually bought a beanie baby, but alas, she's so cute
frowning at me from on top of the monitor that i can't repent. jane is
still my favorite (though don't tell jean) due to her little smile, that
looks like a kitty smile. and only a kitten would give that smile, as any
self-respecting cat would back away. and matt, thank you for exiting the
closet on the beanie baby issue. it's good to no longer be alone in the
public eye. (if brian wrote, he would admit that he got a fox which he
thought of as the fox in the snow, but he'll probably beat me for even
saying that much, he's very violent you know).
on the topic of stephin merritt and the magnetic fields, i have a web page
for the band at:
http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/
i'm actually in the process of updating it, but it works pretty well
anyway. and i know there are other (rather quiet) people on the list who
know alot about the band. but they're definitely brilliant and i'd
recommend them to b&s fans, i definitely see a similarity.
i thought the chat went pretty well all things considered. and it probably
is true that the ops weren't as organized as we could have been, but i'm
curious as to how many people read the instructions. alot of people seemed
to have absolutely no clue how to navigate the irc, though i didn't realize
this until afterwards. (yes, i am an op). but really, paul spent all this
time putting up very clear instructions, and the chat was announced
repeatedly weeks beforehand, so i'd really suggest using that as
preparation time. i don't want to get into a fight about this, i know that
individual people probably had unexpected problems or were prevented from
preparing, but next time, at least send a private mesage to the ops, or
even a public one if you're really having a problem. so much free time
left me with too much time to contemplate not so witty remarks to make in
sinster, which probably made honey a bit nervous. i'm so unpredictable you
know.... ;)
also, i'm thinking of planning a new york picnic, perhaps in april. i'd
like to know how many people would be interested in attending. please
email me privately about this, because i'm sure the glasgowegians don't
need to see 60 (or 5) replies with simply: me. ;) i haven't played on
the swings in central park since last fall. and i'd be willing to bring my
roller skates and a tape player. skating to tigermilk anyone?

The BMX Bandits? Eeeeh, I remember when it were all tubes of Smarties 'round
'ere. We forced the deeejay to put on the E102 single (vinyle even! eek!) ten
years ago at my 18th birthday. We spun around like quasi-goth fools singing "I
wear my crappy anorak, so I don't catch a cold", and then the power cut out,
leaving us to light candles and sing Velocity Girl to our good selves while 80
perplexed relatives smiled wanly. Well, that was Essex as I remember it.

>Stairway to Heaven and Smoke on the Water do not make me feel

That's cool. I think they're vile and that's cool too.

Mmmm, it's impossible. I'm not really trying to find a word for
a particular kind of music, or particular kinds of music, I'm talking
about a word for a particular kind of feeling. Not just a kind of
happy/sad/excited/calmed/whatever, but that feeling when something
really sends you, y'know.
>Actually, that above stuff its just total toss, it's basically
down to
>you don't like it and figure that you're right and others are
wrong.
I don't think it's toal toss (but then you do and you're right
and I'm wrong, prob'ly...;-)). I'm sorry if it irritated you. Not even I
am dumb enough to believe that there are objective rights and objective
wrongs when it comes to music.
The point I was trying to make (and clearly I should do it in a
less ham-fisted way next time) was that great pop fun is to be had by
taking up (relatively) arbitrary positions and holding on to them for
dear life, until you get bored. This is pop, and it's not doing anybody
any harm to hold a few extreme opinions on the merits of the likes of
Deep Purple.
I remember the excitement I felt the first time I heard Subway
Sect's 'A Different Story', heard him sing 'We Oppose All Rock And
Roll'. the power of saying these things is part of the great power of
pop. It was important to me that I loved McCarthy and hated the March
Violets (or whoever) in 1986.
There's a great tradition of drawing arbitrary lines: Wyndham
Lewis's Blast/Bless way back; Tom Vague did the same thing. And the
famous Westwood/Rhodes T-shirt. "One day you're gonna wake up and know
which side of the bed you're on". Sometimes it's fun.
And I don't think I'm too off-beam in saying there's a lot of
pop-good in getting up folks' noses from time to time. It's not as
though I'm advocating violence or anything, or that I advocate the
taking of such extreme positions outside POP! (the feeling). See, pop
allows that creation of self....
And let the person who has never called a band or a record shite
stand up and take the rosette for best liberal of the year. Ten years
ago I would have spat 'hippy' at the endof that sentence. I shan't
today. See, I have grown up a bit.
Cheerio,
Tim
