VH1 is repeating "Iggy Pop: Behind the Music" tomorrow (Tuesday ) at 10
p.m. (Central).

Cool show, but they spent a bit too much time on the story of Iggy Jr.

Re: Let's Active cover on Friends

  tell me about Let's Active, if you would be so kind.


My Let's Active memories:

Saw them open for Echo  The Bunnymen many years ago.  Back when "New Wave"
 included a lot of great bands from the
southeastern US, who wrote pop songs with melodies.

Then saw them headline a show at Cabaret Metro in Chicago.
Leader/writer/guitarist/singer Mitch Easter had apparently just
broken up with bassist/singer Faye Hunter.  The two of them managed to put
on a good show without looking at each other the
entire evening.

Opening act was Chris Stamey, and he was just amazing.

I think all of their stuff is out of print these days.  My fave of theirs
was a six-song ep, _Afoot_.  It sounded like a co-ed jangle
pop band playing Monkees songs.

And I think that a lot of melodically-challenged bands would benefit from a
 Mitch Easter production on their records.  He gave
Velvet Crush a nice sound, and he produced a nice little record for an (I
think) Australian band, The Hummingbirds.

But no, I don't watch "Friends", so I don't know who did the cover.  Lisa
Kudrow, maybe?

Re: RIP Stanley Kubrick

1999-03-08 Thread Thomas W. Mohr

Roger Ebert on "Clockwork Orange":

Kubrick's ``A Clockwork Orange'' (1971) starred Malcolm McDowell
as a violent lout in a fearsome world of the near future; its prophetic
 vision was so disturbing that the movie is banned in Britain to this
 day.

( http://www.suntimes.com/output/showcase/kub08i.html )

Tom Mohr on "Clockwork Orange":

Absolutely astonishing that Kubrick could, in three years, go from the
brilliant heights of "2001" to the decadent depths of "A Clockwork Orange."

An appalling movie.  Its appeal is utterly baffling.

According to the Chicago Tribune's online tv listings, she'll be on

Central Standard Time.

Tried to confirm by checking TNN's online listings but they're kinda

 Not sure if anyone else already posted this, but Lucinda Williams is
scheduled
 to be the musical guest on Saturday Night Live this week. Unfortunately,
I
 think there's only one musical segment on the show these days.
I think it depends on whether the show is running late -- sometimes they
cut the second musical number.

 VH1 is also repeating the Hard Rock Live show with Lucinda and Natalie
 Merchant Saturday at midnight EST, and I believe it repeats Monday and
 Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. Check your local listings, as they say.
Good show, but it was like forty minutes of Natalie and fifteen of Lucinda.

Other tv note -- Blondie was pretty great on Leno last night.  Debbie
sounded good, but (drummer)
Clem Burke was awesome.

 Out of curiosity, who else was in Blondie last night, besides Harry,

 playing with them when they first reformed a couple of years ago

 Just wondering
Original member Jimmy Destri on keyboards, and the band's website says
the other two (bass, lead guitar) are Leigh Foxx and Paul Carbonara.

I guess I wasn't paying much attention to the bassist, but I don't think
it was a tall woman...

Apparently the March 25 show has not sold out, so they have not put tickets
