Sleepy, I thought you posted about the RAWilson 'who is.' Sorry, then; yes the trilogy - I liked it. And it serves as a well for inside jokes. Unfortunately I forget most of what happens. Besides, it is entirely not germain to the intended content of this message board. So anyway, can anyone do chat? I fired up MS Chat and went to the WB irc server and clicked the new room button and it seemed to work. Anyone try and didn't see it? Anyone interested in trying again?

Check out the producer credit on the back of Five Leaves Left... He had a showcase of two new artists - one of the guitarists sounded a little like Robyn in parts. After this, I went running off to another gig (rock 'n' roll, eh?) which was a big noisefest, but quite good.

Sorry, I was cast into the gorge of eternal peril. I got better. Sleepy, at least you have a turntable to hook up. Oh, that's an old lament. I saw a nice one for $29,000 reviewed in Stereophile Magazine the other day. "Illumanatus!" is a trilogy of Novels written by Robert Anton Wilson, mentioned in a previous posting. Decoy's right. I only get about 80 pages into Illumanatus! and my brains starts to rumble. It's pop-culture junk anyhow. Mooch, what is the connection between Perky Pete and Phillip K. d--k? Myk, I suppose as usualy, UPS will try to deliver my music today when I'm not home and I'll be greeted with the horible little yellow piece of paper telling me I've once again missed my package. Decoy and I are going to master a CD out of it. We have the technology. Finally, Who's Joe Boyd and was he good?

Morning. I have several theories I'm working on to explain the strange postings on the weekend. Labor Day was Monday, September 1st here in The States. Today is no holiday at all. It should be, but it isn't. So, Sat--day I hopped in the car armed with "Five Leaves Left", "I Often Dream of Trains", and "Queen Elvis" and set off on a jolly pumpkin hunt. There were herds of them everywhere. I bagged me four little ones and a big one (forty pounder easy) and that was my official New York State limit. I can't believe they are charging $14.95 for a license this year. I got sun burned at the game yesterday. Lions 13 Bills 22. A wonderful game. Well, no one cares about any of this, so I'll let you go.

I played the "I Often Dream Of Trains" CD for the first time on Friday. I've only ever played the vinyl. The last time I heard "Mellow Together" was in 1986, but it sounded fantastic eleven years on. What a great album. Actually the weekend postings on this forum are quite bizarre, aren't they? Wonder why. I wonder which Nick Drake tracks Robyn will play at the tribute. Any suggestions?

Sleepy, I'm happy to say the weather is improving steadily and the forcast for this weekend is sunny, or bright as you Brits say, and highs in the low to mid 70's. Only the massive tree limb lying in the sidewalk across the street from my house betrays the earlier storm. Now I have The Ballad of the Edmond Fitzgerald in my head.

One bad apple has to ruin the fun for everybody. Actually, it wasn't without its creative charm. Thanks Sleepy. Actually, everyone has been raving about the Radiohead Album, but what kind of music is it? And as for Mine Sweeper, if it will keep you busy, each number represents the amount of mines in the immediately surrounding squares. A nonboarder square has eight surrounding squares, so if it has a 1 in it, only one of the eight squares around it has a mine in it. You then have to figure out, using information in the nearby squares, where the mines are. Happy hunting.

The man was a genius. One of the highlights of my year. Thank you all for your recommendations... Did any of you get my "I Something You" reference?

Perhaps around the corner she would recognize a name. Ripped forth from her soul, the aching emptiness threatened to consume her. A flock of crows cawed in the woods.

My business trip went well, but I seem to have contracted some kind of bug. I was thinking it is a good time for an ode to autumn, which I do, by the way, love. Just making it up as I go along ...
Oh, autumn - we hardly know ye. And autumn - will never know ye. Your brown and bright and chilly night, the time is ripe for a knitting fight. Several couches sit at the curb, their many seats speak not a word. Gourds and hordes of screaming voices descend upon the waiting houses. Cider mills and spinning wheels and frosty mugs of cheer - Fill'd up yours with bitters, mine's a cup of beer.
