Spinner to Add Music Item Auctions
Spinner.com queues up auctions By Beth Lipton Staff Writer, CNET News.com April 9, 1999, 3:55 p.m. PT Net radio firm Spinner.com next week will become the latest Web company to get auction fever. Spinner on Monday is planning to launch Spinner.com Auctions, where users can buy and sell music-related merchandise such as CDs, records, cassettes, audio equipment, and memorabilia, the company said. The auction feature is being offered through a partnership with consumer Net auction firm CityAuction. Auctions are all the rage on the Net of late, with all manner of sites--including portals such as Yahoo and e-commerce sites such as Amazon.com--getting into the game, with varying degrees of success. All are hoping to get a slice of the revenue and traffic enjoyed by auction firms such as eBay. Just today, eBay chief executive Margaret Whitman joined the ranks of Net billionaires as she exercised options to acquire the company's skyrocketing shares. For its part, Spinner has been busy signing distribution deals with sites such as Cyclone, the site by portal Snap that is designed for higher-speed Net connections. (Snap is a joint venture between NBC and CNET: The Computer Network, publisher of News.com.) Meanwhile, the Webcasting space overall is going through a number of changes; Spinner competitor Imagine Radio in February was acquired by Viacom, and Broadcast.com last week was bought by Yahoo. "Our partnership with CityAuction is a reflection of our move toward cobranded partnerships aimed at offering our listeners content-related commerce," Dave Samuel, Spinner.com's chief executive, said in a statement. "We bring music enthusiasts together to hear great music, get artist and CD information, buy CDs, and now buy and sell with one another." Under terms of the deal, Spinner.com carry CityAuction banner ads on its site and music players as well as running audio ads. It also will display links on various pages to CityAuction music categories.

Anyhow, I haven't heard it, but there's a formula that I understand applies to this record, and establishes, in my mind, whether it's any damn good. It goes like this: "Summerteeth" = ELO. and I replied with, among other smart-assed things: It doesn't sound anything much like ELO to me Terry, a good thing. David Cantwell also replied to Terry: the ELO period that Summerteeth is inarguably borowing from, and borrowing heavily--I say inarguably, because you only have to listen to A New World Record to hear the obvious similarities (see my ND review to get specifics) but also because Tweedy, as I've said before, has confirmed that ELO was one of the bubblegum sources Wilco itself heard in the record... So Terry, I apologize. And from my perspective it's definitely inarguable, since you'd have to put a gun to my head to get me to listen to A NEW WORLD RECORD. If I never hear "Telephone Line" (cringe) or "Livin' Thing" (wince) again, it'll be too soon. Matters of taste and all, and I sure don't want to tangle with the imposing Cantwell-Curry tag team. And thoughts of further discussion of the pop merits of ELO/Jeff Lynne give me a headache. g Amy, Stevie, et.al., all of a sudden I'm having second thoughts about SUMMERTEETH.

Re: Wilco's new horizon
Bill just loves to disagree with me: Hmm, for a small hypothetical, if you removed the vocal track from all three Wilco records, and just listened to the instrumentals, you wouldn't find each record different from the other? (What's the degree of difference significant to your mini-analysis here? "Drastically different" is a self-justifying measure of judgement. And what constitutes a "breakthrough?") To me, BEING THERE sounds notably different from AM, the transition from twang-rock into twang-pop into the notably different pop stylings of SUMMERTEETH. Being There sounds mildly different from A.M. (which was poppier and less twangy than Bill is suggesting, to my ears) if you subtract the vocals, I guess, but it's a point on a continuum, not the sort of reinventing of a sound that so many critics made it out to be. What I've heard of Summerteeth sounds like the next point along the continuum; the production is the biggest difference, obviously. To put it differently, I'd say that: --for A.M., Jeff spent about five minutes writing each song, and the band spent about ten minutes on each song in the studio; --for Being There, Jeff spent about five minutes writing each song, and the band spent about a day on each song in the studio; and --for Summerteeth, Jeff spent about five minutes on the melody of each song and ten minutes on the lyrics, and the band spent about two weeks on each song in the studio. You'll note a certain similarity in the creative process for all three records. g I'm withholding full judgement until I've heard the whole record more than once, but for now, I give it an "it sucks." g I'll be holding my breath until the big light bulb comes on and the sheer brilliance (or even the barely-marginal OK-ness) of SUMMERTEETH reveals itself to you. g Geez, if you were the judge of most any Tweedy endeavor, I'd get a change of venue, begging your honor's pardon. I'm not sure it's accurate or justified to characterize me as a relentless Tweedy-basher. It's true that I didn't like them live, enough so that I don't plan to see them perform again. But I liked A.M. reasonably well and still listen to it from time to time. I liked parts of Being There very much and parts of it not at all, and I rarely find myself with the urge to listen to it. I love Mermaid Avenue, and though I'm more of a Billy Bragg fan than a Wilco fan, I like Jeff's songs on the record a lot too. Summerteeth, so far, just sounds like a big ol' muddle to me. Still, I remain convinced of Jeff's and Wilco's ability to make a great record; I just don't think they've done it yet. And I'll continue to pay attention to what he does, if not nearly as avidly as I do with his former bandmate. off to mow two yards, b.s. n.p. A Replacements overview show on KCUR. How about some "objective" analysis on that new Westerberg record? I just heard 3 tracks and they didn't suck, though I wasn't sure if it was my cup of tea. g I don't even pretend to be objective about Westerberg, but I've listened to the new record as open-mindedly as I can, and I think about half of it is almost embarrassingly bad. The other half, though, is probably Westerberg's best solo work, and it contains more (apparently) real emotion than I've heard in his previous solo work. It's not the masterpiece I hope he still has in him, but it's an encouraging step. --Amy
Re: Wilco's new horizon

I can't stand any pink floyd or sgt. peppers Stevie Stevie my man, the Floyd I ain't even gonna touch, but The Pepper? As overrated as I think the album truly is, "A Day in the Life" is why rock means a damn thing (and may redeem the mediocrity which preceded it). If nothing else, McCartney's bass playing on the album is nothing short of breathtaking. Listen to even a silly song like "With a Little Help" and you can hear how Mac's bass runs were probably the equal of guys named Entwhistle. "Getting Better" is another beautifully arranged song featuring dynamite rhythmic accents and a testament to the album's unrealized potential. Lance . . .

Hall, Ricky Skaggs, Don Williams, Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Rodriguez and a hell of a lot more other good folks who did better than Greenwood, who was #25 for the 80s, or Sylvia, who doesn't appear in the top 25 by decade at all. Yeah, Alabama, and Kenny Rogers, and some other pretty yucky stuff is there, too (though having acquired the Alabama #1s collection recently I'm ready to give them another listen), but if you're not hearing those folks on that station, you're not hearing the best of country, vintage 70s and 80s.

radio sweeps underway, intersting TV ad
Just saw an ad for the new country radio station in Richmond, VA "The River" and they segued from Alan Jackson Tall Tall Trees to "He Stopped loving Her Today". This isn't a renegade operation either, it's owned by a very successful black radio entrepreneur who saw a hole in the market and is going after the HNC station that's been the 25-54 leader for years but has recently dropped substantially. While the HNC throws money at the listeners "The River" is throwing real country at the listeners.

(snip of all-great stuff) I think this band doesn't always get its full due when looking at the histiry of this music we talk about, maybe cause Doug Sahm never died tragically but chooses to live--apparently quite happily--but with so many of these amazing cuts unavailable so long, I'd cerytainly suggest adding this one to any P2er collection. Barry M. Doug Sahm (the name is Texas German, probably not spelled the "right" way) was a child radio star at 6 on San Antonio radio, before radio was relegated to the back seat by TV. He has had so many extraordinary experiences and participated in so many watershed Americana musical events (Brit Invasion, 60's exodus of Texas artists to San Francisco, Progressive Country resurgence in Austin in early 70s, country hits, rock hits, free-form FM hits) that he is literally a walking encyclopedia of American musical history. He both loves and appreciates his roots and loves to pass on what he knows to the people coming up behind him. He and I became friends in Austin and he was a frequent visitor to my radio show, and I am indebted to him for many things. I think one reason he doesn't get as much ink, or credit as he deserves is that he is the quintessential Texas artist, so peripatetic that he never stays in one area long enough to become completely huge there, and because he never quite broke out into superstardom on his own after he left the Quintet. He is a force of nature. See him if you get a chance. -- Joe Gracey President-For-Life, Jackalope Records http://www.kimmierhodes.com
