Is this the "it's going to rain, it's going to rain..." bloke? Heard an interview with him on the radio not long ago. Splendid chap, liked him a lot.
Loudon Wainwright III
aaagh! can't go with you on this one here... i listened to a few tracks ages ago cos my mates were into it and i couldnae stand it :-(
A question. The LWIII song on Big Star Live, Motel Bloooooes, is it a comedy song originally? Obviously not very comic in the Big Star version, but I read somewhere that Loudon did a lot of comedy songs. Just a thought.
John Fahey
i've got a bit of this on a tape someone made me once, and it's very nice... no idea about titles though. i ought to explore more...
I've got The Legend of Blind Joe Death super extended CD version with two versions of most songs. It's very nice, especially for falling asleep to. According to the sleeve notes, people in the swinging sixties used it as a soundtrack for "making love". Takes all sorts dunt it?
and even though i'd say that these people make records that are Pop to me simply because of how i'm defining that these days, here's a few of mine:
Dexter Gordon
Meeeowww! Choo Choo Mitchell'll be slinking round in his beret.
Jon Hassell Les Baxter
Top one. I like the one with stairs in it. Or is that someone else?
Ernest Tubb
Actually i was just going to write a piece about the Country influence in B&S. maybe tomorrow.
I believe that it is a country influence filtered through the Orange Juice influence.

your address upstairs has changed, but this one remains the same. Dark deeds are afoot in Devon. I'm beginning to quite like that Pakistani bloke who kicked the bucket, Nusfrat Fatty Kahn, or something similar. Him and his mates really get into a groove. My new flat mates have got an album called tropical feelings or something. It makes you feel like you're in the rain forest, sitting between a tinkling waterfall and a bloke with a synthesizer. I quite enjoyed it. Then I said it reminded me of Tangerine Dream, and for some reason they switched it off. Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
