Picked it up as an import a few months ago. Not sure why I bothered. . . didn't really need these songs yet again. Liner notes by Malcolm Dome add litte. . . except to explain why some of these songs are on a "singles" collection. For instance, "Moon Crazy" was released as a single in Japan, while "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" was released in Holland and Germany. What I was too stupid to realize at the time, though is that this disc is called The SINGLES Collection. As such, "Cities on Flame" is a mere 3:16. . . with no jamming. Most other songs are NOT, though. Off the top of my head, the only other one is "White Flags", which just starts a little LATER than the Club Ninja version. It could also be mixed differently or something, but don't quote me on that. There's just something about it that sounds "off" to me. If you already own the BOC catalog and then some, there's no need for this. If I had my choice, I'd take my 20 bucks back. --Nick >----- ------- Original Message ------- ----- >From: Jason Scruton >To: BOC-L at LISTSERV.ISPNETINC.NET >Sent: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 20:51:23 > >intruged, CD universe has this to say: >1.Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll >2.Then Came The Last Days Of May >3.Red And The Black >4.Hot Rails To Hell >5.Flaming Telepaths >6.Born To Be Wild >7.Don't Fear The Reaper >8.Sinful Love >9.Goin' Through The Motions >10.Godzilla >11.We Gotta Get Out Of This Place >12.Mirrors >13.Moon Crazy >14.Fallen Angel >15.Burnin' For You >16.Take Me Away >17.Shooting Shark >18.Dancin' In The Ruins >19.White Flags >20.Astronomy > >Released May 23, 2005 >and "2005 special international collection of the >recordings of the >"thinking man's heavy metal band".

This is kind of funny, as way back when they started, B?C were considered a 'critics band,' no doubt because their management had a background in rock criticism.

BOC have the 'advantage' that they've only had three hits (in Britain, it's only really one), which, combined with a strong back catalogue of album tracks, means they've got a lot of opportunity to mix things up to prevent things getting too stale. On British shows they could quite easily get away without playing 'Burning for You', since it was never a hit over here. Not even sure whether they put it out as a single. OTOH, a band like Journey with many more standards solved the problem by going on lengthy hiatus multiple times. I'm not sure how well they'd go over in the UK though, if they played a set featuring lots of HF and CotHM tunes? In the US, I think B?C have so little faith in their fans that they persist in a generic setlist. But it may also have something to do with the band's comfort level. They know the core tunes by heart, and they can essentially phone in a show at a moment's notice. As much as I love the band, I have to admit I agreed with some of the points in that scathing review. B?C ARE a nostalgia act, and I think they have done that to themselves. I just saw Little Feat last Sunday, and they are a geezer band who never play the same set 2 nights in a row. They may include a couple of songs that show up in nearly every set, but apart from that, their set list is wide open... tj From cea at CARLAZ.COM Tue Aug 1 07:50:08 2006 From: cea at CARLAZ.COM (Carl Edlund Anderson) Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 12:50:08 +0100 Subject: BOC: Sunday Times review In-Reply-To: Message-ID: On 01/08/2006 12:35, Ted Jackson wrote: > As much as I love the band, I have to admit I agreed > with some of the points in that scathing review. > B?C ARE a nostalgia act, and I think they have done > that to themselves.

BOC give the impression of, for whatever, not really trying. Sure, they're down a couple of key original members and disassociated from Pearlman, who was a big influence back in the day. But, then again, the Allman Bros are currently missing, what? 3 key original members (only 2 of whom are actually dead) and have cycled through quite a number of line-up changes and traumas even in the last dozen years. Yet they still turn out extremely vital shows with different set-lists each night and have even turned out some eminently respectable (if not life-changing) studio albums. They may never have a another radio hit, but then they never had that many to start with, and who the heck needs a radio hit when you sell out 9 nights at the Beacon, have a comfy back catalogue, and can still turn out some solid new material that sells respectably? Clearly, the _option_ is there, even for "geezer bands without their original line-ups". The Allmans still have cred, wheras BOC have ... a virtuoso guitarist and an excellent catalog that hasn't been expanded on significantly since 1982 :/ The last tBS album _alone_ had more good tracks (i.e. the whole album, basically) than post-1982 BOC (not counting _Imaginos_! :) has produced in its entirety.

On the other hand, the setlists I have seen from this past year have contained songs I've never seen them do and I've been attending ever concert possible since 1975. So, I think the guys are doing a decent job of mixing it up a bit. Maybe not so much that you'd want to take a couple of weeks off and catch 4-5 shows in a row though. Hey, they are out there doing it and overall, I think they are doing it well. As a fan, there are always songs that I wish they'd do when I see them that they don't and there are things in the shows that I feel could be improved, but I will still go see them anytime they are near me. I still need to see them with the new guys, even if they are choking on something. Rock forever!

It's been a while since I've seen them, but back when I was catching every show I remember being frustrated that I always seemed to catch the "standard" show (you know the one, it opens with Stairway to the Stars, has the big 3 in the middle, and has the long version of Last Days of May towards the end) while other people catching shows during the same time period got stuff like The Vigil and Unknown Tongue, that I've never heard them do. (Not that I would want them to trade out Last Days of May - that's actually the highlight of every show for me now). Meanwhile, I've got a Brain Surgeons show coming up in August 25 in Manhatten, where I will continue my campaign of pestering Al to either drop some of the BOC in favor of more tBS, or else play longer sets. ;-) Anyone else gonna be there?

I'm with you --- an all tBS show would be 'dy-no-mite.' Although, and I'll make this argument 'cause it seems right, Red BTW, The Mark Schulman (sp?) blues band that's opening should be really good.

Message-ID: Came home from work the other day and found a small card had fluttered through my letterbox - the nice postman saying he had a package too large for the letterbox - so a long journey down to the postal depot and a long wait in the queue on a Saturday morning later I became the proud possessor of an extremely large Kids To Space book which turns out to be an eclectic collection of children's questions all of which have been given comprehensive and sometimes very detailed answers by people who have obviously been involved with the subject for so long they can make complex things sound very simple. The questions are ordered into topic groups, which must have been a nightmare job for someone, and arranged into three parts: Planning, Visiting and Living, and Exploring in Space covering every possible angle including health, rockets, alcohol and tobacco, and sanitation. There's a section at the beginning listing questions that might encourage you to look at the answers and there's even an index at the back but in honesty it's much more entertaining to browse and find things like "How much does it cost to get water into space?" The answer is apparently $20,000 per 1.05 quarts. Admittedly not every answer is that informative and unfortunately each sub-section starts with a dreadfully childish primary school narrative that even as a kid I think I would have found irritating. However were I still at school and been forced to write an essay on space travel this would be a really useful reference book! Apart from that. My real education was gained trying to listen to the music! The CD-Rom disc didn't work in the antiquated CD player so I stuck it into the computer. Sadly the combined noise of CD driver and fans overpowered my tiny speakers rendering the music virtually inaudible but it sounded nicely ambient so I decided to try an alternative method. Laptop wasn't any better so - next plan - try and link the laptop into my sound-system speakers. This is ambitious for me since I hate anything that involves plugging things into other things - there's far too much that can go wrong in a nasty black-smoke-singed-burning kind of way that things involving electricity have a tendency to do but I found a wire with a plug at both ends that I was sure I'd used before and it worked last time (I think). I plug it in, turn the volume up slightly to hear....the ominous deep rumble that tells you a speaker is about to blow apart at any second. Unplug everything fast and dive back into box - find another wire. This has two plugs at one end and one at the other. Maybe? Plug it in - and watch as the laptop screen fades and everything stops working - oh oops - have I killed it? Apparently not. The battery ran out! Find a socket to plug in the laptop and then have a coffee. I need it. Reload CD - turn up volume carefully and, yes, we have music! It's nicely ambient, mostly instrumental, very spacey, well constructed and entirely appropriate. The listing at the end says there are five sections from: The Secret Knowledge of Water, Uncle Sam's on Mars, What's That Noise, Mars The Journey and Out Here We Are. The whole set lasts just over 18 mins and is played three times to accompany all the children's drawings. In fact it's the kind of Hawkwind instrumental compilation that some of us have already dreamed of putting together and makes for very pleasant listening. Completely different from the current live Hawkwind sound it moves from light electronica with long echoing guitar notes into the languid guitar and fast bass section of Uncle Sam followed by some more gentle electronics interspersed with a touch of the industrial that sounds exactly like a sleeping space station ought to sound like. Heavy bass electronics give rocket sounds and astronaut transmissions make up the Mars Journey track which blends into Out Here We Are with its drifting saxophone element. A delightful, if somewhat unusual, introduction to Hawkwind and I'd like to think that loads of people are going to hear it - however given that it took me the best part of an hour to get everything set up I'm not sure how many people will make the effort just to listen to a CD-Rom unless they have a better sound system on their computer than I have (very possible!). Perhaps some of these tracks will re-appear in other formats - I certainly hope so. jill ============================================== Jill Strobridge ============================================== From deadearnest at BTOPENWORLD.COM Tue Aug 1 20:29:05 2006 From: deadearnest at BTOPENWORLD.COM (Cyberkrel) Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2006 01:29:05 +0100 Subject: Singles Collection Message-ID: "Burning for you" did come out as a single and at the time, CBS reps were working it like crazy - they really wanted that to chart - they gave some darned good deals to the dealers to stock that, partic the 12" - but radio (as is the custom in the UK) for 20+ years - would have nothing to do with it - so it sank, although I do believe it might have charted around 100 or something like that.

For example, there are about - let's say - 500 possible trance music tracks to which a radio station might have access that have been hits or club hits in the past few years. So, what do we get on national radio now - that "Flash Dance " single played about once a day every day for around the past year or so - or as good as. With all the similar bands in the world today, Radio 1 only ever plays Green Day regularly in the daytime - noone else even comes close. Hey ho!!

This certainly wasn't exactly a friendly review, but I'm not sure we can really accuse the reviewer of not being interested. He reports lyrics, he says how the guys looked on stage, he was clearly actually there and paying some kind of attention. He tells the reader rouugly what sort of band it is, and he says not just whether he thought they were any good, but why he thought they weren't, to wit that they were lame, self-indulgent and tired, mainly I suppose. The problem is that he winds up coming across like he wasn't going to approve of anything that wasn't skate-punk. I can't tell from this whether BOC were actually putting on a flabby careless performance, which I've certainly seen them do, or whether it was just that the reviewer just thinks that anything with five-minute guitar solos is a waste of his evening and they were really playing at the top of their game. I used to have this rant about how the _Sunday Times_ music journos were all after discovering the next big music news scoop and nothing at all about the music, mind. I remember an interview they did with, is it Buck Berry? The bass player from R. E. M. who broke his back just after _Monster_ came out? And it went roughly like this: ST: So this is the end of REM I guess? BB: No! Not at all. We'll be off the road for a bit is all. ST: But seriously, a band like this need to tour or die. BB: I don't agree. We'll have time to write now and we'll come back stronger. Honestly, the guys would never break up the band for this, we've been together through worse things. ST: So you'll call it quits once the album's out then? BB: We're not breaking up! etc. And they did headline it more or less "REM on the Rocks" or something like that. They weren't going to let facts get in the way of their sensation! Of course Berry did in the end leave, but that was two years later and it didn't stop REM from recording and playing (though after getting hold of _Up!_ I wished it had--swapped it for the New York Gong album, best trade I ever made). So I guess if they're still like that then BOC were never going to provide the material they wanted. But to me it just sounds as if they sent the wrong guy to the gig.

Don't know about that, but Berry suffered a brain aneurysm on stage during the 1995-tour (which ironically was later renamed as "Brain Aneurysm-Tour"). > Of course Berry did in the end leave, but that was two > years later and it didn't stop REM from recording and playing (though > after getting hold of _Up!_ I wished it had--swapped it for the New > York > Gong album, best trade I ever made). "Up!" isn't that bad IMO, but I have to admit, that the last couple of albums are a bit lackluster. The best R.E.M. album is still "New Adventures in Hi-Fi" for me, followed closely by "Lifes Rich Pageant".

In the Summer edition of Classic Rock (the one with the black card cover and the big Kenneth Anger / Jimmy Page "devil's music" feature and the free Led Zepp tribute CD) there's a six page feature article on BOC. There are some great photos used in the article, my favourite being the one where Eric Bloom jumps up and down in disgust at the plaque he was given after BOC played Donnington in August 1981. The magazine has been available since last week in most UK newsagents. I got mine from Tescos! I understand it's available in the US in Barnes and Noble as well as Borders for about $9. Enjoy!

That's the heart of what's wrong with this 'review'. It succeeds in telling us for more about the reviewer's prejudices than it does about the performance of the band.

I'll never forget reading a Brit music rag when I was on vacation in England back in maybe 82 (?) or so... I read a review of an album called "Fuck Religion, Fuck Politics, Fuck the Lot of You" by Chaotic Dischord, which I admit surely must be one of the great punk album titles of all time. ;-) Anyway, the reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars, and spent a couple of paragraphs raving about how utterly, utterly fantastic it was, a must-have, etc. The last line of the review was "Of course, it's totally unlistenable..."

It's too bad you couldn't make it to the show. Since Ross joined they've become much heavier without changing the character(s)of the band that makes it so unpredictable and exciting. I had so much fun when I saw them last (which sadly, was way back when Ross had recently joined the band) that I can still recall the gig as if it were a week ago. The whole night, everyone was jumping around, raising their fists, and just really getting absorbed into the whole spectacle of it. There are some show reviews at http:/www.cellsum.com Also, their latest album, "Denial of Death" should be played loud and often.

Hear that! I have a hard time getting my wife to listen to new music, because she always has so much stuff going on that you can't get her to sit down for 40 minutes and really check out a new album. The only way I can get her to listen to anything is to burn it to minidisc so she can listen to it on the train. So, maybe six weeks back, I finally tracked down some blanks and burned her a copy.

I'm not much of an REM fan really, but they were inescapable when I was in secondary school. _Fables_, yeah, with the Joe Boyd connection was pretty good, and later on I was as brainwashed by the hits of _Document_ as I could be at that impressionable-yet-resistant age. "Orange Crush" was all right, but then I kinda tuned back out after I was in university when "Losing My Reglion" got played so much that I was prepared to be terminally irritated by REM henceforth! Much later, I learned to cover "Man on the Moon" to play in a band without having heard the original previously ;) On a different matter ... > The newest Brain Surgeons sticks out as probably > better than anything the Cult's done in years.

They sound like they are at least sourced from higher bit-rate files than the Roadburn RealAudio stream (which did not exactly have the highest bit rate known to man ;). Myspace theoretically imposes limits on file size, but I've downloaded (and uploaded) some comparatively hefty MP3s from Myspace on occasion, so maybe they don't care that much. The Hawkwind Myspace page only streams the songs, so it's hard to say what the source was, but they sound pretty good in comparsion to the old Roadburn RealAudio stream! Nice choice of samples, too -- shows off what the band is doing these days very well, I think! (Man, cross-linking from Hawkwind got my own Myspace page a load of hits today! I would have worked harder on getting a few more songs closer to finished if I'd known! :) Cheers, Carl ps -- for members following both sides of the list, the Brain Surgeons also have a (heavily populated!)

I knew some company in Texas was going to build some, and I knew they'd been going too for so long that there was every chance that they'd be done by now, but I hadn't realised there was actually one on the show circuit. When I read about it, it was an article about some Fw.190s the same company had made, like the 262 to the genuine manufacturer's plans using as close to contemporary materials as they could easily source. I believe that in the case of the 262s they'd even got permission from Messerschmitt's current incarnation (which makes helicopters) to do it. There are a couple of airshows in the US which are for warbirds only, that being aeroplanes that are old enough to have seen service in WWII or Korea by their definition, and the prospective owners of the 262s were arguing that if they were made with Messerschmitt's licence, to Messerschmitt plans, they were more authentic than many of the actual warbirds which are often pieced together from several airframes... I don't think the show organisers gave in, but it's nice to see it booked anyway...

Message-ID: One of the members of this list suggested that I join and post this here. So, first a little bit about my participation. I always have the best intentions of keeping up with these lists when I join, but as time constraints push in on me, I tend to lose track of the lists for a while. So, I'll be trying to sit back and keep up with all of you, but if I fall silent it's either because I don't have anything to contribute at the moment or because I've gotten buried in work. Alright, onto the news that I was told I should post here. As some of you may or may not know Blue Oyster Cult uses a lot of literature in the themes to their lyrics. Amongst the authors whose work they draw upon is Howard Phillips (or H. P.) Lovecraft. It is for this reason that BOC gets several pages in my new book The Strange Sound of Cthulhu - Music Inspired by the Writings of H. P. Lovecraft. Actually had I been able to reach the members of the band for their insights (a good three fourths or perhaps a little more of the artists in the book provided theirs) they would have had more space. Unfortunately, I did not have any luck in securing contact with the band. Still, because of several songs the group have recorded over the years, they do get a good amount of page space. Anyway, you can check out excerpts from the book by stopping by this page www.musicstreetjournal.com/cthulhubook and following the link for the blog. You can check out the storefront (and buy the book) here www.lulu.com/strangesound. Well, thanks for giving me my first Listserv experience, folks.

Al Bouchard (Brain Surgeons, ex-BOC) is >a subscriber to the list :) and might have been able to say a few words. Like I said, never posted on Listserv before. Never really figured out how to do it before. I knew this list existed (and in fact I remember that it was a Hawkwind/BOC list - there used to be a website that talked about the connections between the two bands - I'm a big fan of both) but I never checked it out before.

Also have to say that I love the name - you just don't get any more metal than that! I tried to get every actual Lovecraft connected artist I could in there, but I know that I missed some stuff - there's just no way to track down EVERYTHING. That said, I'm sure it's the most comprehensive grouping out there. There are whole chapters on progressive rock, punk, gothic and psychedelic rock. That last one even includes question and answers with two of the original members of the band H. P. Lovecraft. There are two chapters on heavy metal (there was just so much there). Several artists also have their own chapters, plus there's a miscellany one later (that's where BOC is - I've never really seen them as metal - although some of their songs certainly qualify).

Holly to set up for a 5PM start proved difficult. Apparently Jay's employers were much less than understanding. Nonetheless we all got to Buzz's and started a bit late, but made up for the time by playing later into the evening. Outdoor shows are always a little different to begin with, and happily the rains held off till the twilight hours.

What my _favorite_ HW album can change from moment to moment, but I have to pick _SR_ as the most iconic.

There was a poll recently reported in the paper for the best no1 album ever. The Beatles Sgt Pepper won by 250 votes over Thriller. Consider though that had Jackson won and the Beatles come 2nd that the actual Beatles vote was split over 8 albums in the top 20 to Jackson's 1. If there had been only one Beatles album to vote for I guess (unless those who voted for the other 7 preferred Thriller to Sgt Pepper) that the margin would have been much greater. I was just suggesting that we get HW as high as we can by considering pooling votes - I'm sure other lists will be doing so. I'm happy to leave to people's own judgement - it was only a suggestion but I will be voting for my fav anyway as it is Space Ritual.

This wording implies to me that we are actually only voting for our favourite _Hawkwind_ albums -- not for our favourite classic rock albums among which might number one or more Hawkwind albums. If so, it would look weird if *everyone* voted for Space Ritual (though it wouldn't _completely_ shock me ;) Of course, I could easily have misunderstood the announcement! I guess at worst we'll find out what we're voting in/for on Friday :) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson mailto:cea at carlaz.com http://www.carlaz.com/ From fofp at HOLYROOD.ED.AC.UK Wed Aug 30 12:19:42 2006 From: fofp at HOLYROOD.ED.AC.UK (M Holmes) Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2006 17:19:42 +0100 Subject: HW: Planet Rock In-Reply-To: Steve Freight's message of Tue, 29 Aug 2006 19:05:55 +0100 Message-ID: Steve Freight writes: > Should we agree on this list which album to vote for as we don't want to > split the vote?

It's a vote for the most "must-have" Hawkwind album. Hawkwind are guaranteed to come top of such a poll. :-) Cheers, Paul. -- e-mail: paul at gromit.dlib.vt.edu "Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid." --- Frank Vincent Zappa From swann at PLUTONIA.COM Thu Aug 31 10:18:33 2006 From: swann at PLUTONIA.COM (Stephen Swann) Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 10:18:33 -0400 Subject: HW: Planet Rock In-Reply-To: <44F5B0B4.5050100@carlaz.com> Message-ID: On Wed, Aug 30, 2006 at 04:37:24PM +0100, Carl Edlund Anderson wrote: > > This wording implies to me that we are actually only voting for our > favourite _Hawkwind_ albums -- not for our favourite classic rock albums > among which might number one or more Hawkwind albums.

He chastises them "You are all individuals!" And the crowd replies "We are all individuals!", except for one small voice at the back of the crowd who shouts "I'm not!". ;-) Steve From swann at PLUTONIA.COM Thu Aug 31 11:07:07 2006 From: swann at PLUTONIA.COM (Stephen Swann) Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 11:07:07 -0400 Subject: BRAIN: Brain Surgeons NYC, Knitting Factory, 8/25 Message-ID: So, the Brain Surgeons rocked out once again this past friday night. I forgot to steal a setlist, so I'll make some generalizations and say that it was mostly new material, I think they must have played maybe 5 or 6 songs from Denial of Death, with a couple older ones like Gun included, and finished off with a set of BOC classics. The band was in fine form, unfortunately the sound in the Knitting factory wasn't all it could have been. You know when you have trouble hearing Ross' guitar that something is a little off. And Deb's vocals are chronically mixed too low live (I enjoyed watching her signalling the soundman to boost her, masking the the "up, up" gesture as emotive singing.) ;-) She was still mixed too low, even after calling for the boost, though. This despite Al wearing a "Don't piss off the sound man" t-shirt, perhaps a reference to the Pyramid Club show back in the 90's. ;-) But quibbles about the mix aside, the show was great. The new tunes seem popular with the crowd, I saw a lot of people who clearly aren't old guard BOC fans rocking out and headbanging to the new stuff just as much as the classics. After one particularly rousing finale, a guy with a loud Brooklyn(?) accent bellowed out, "Not bad for a buncha young kids!!" which really cracked the house up. Btw, I really dig Ross' ability to shred. But you know, he also plays a really mean goddamn melodic lead when he feels like it. And frankly I'm starting to think that for some of the songs, that has more impact than the shreds. A fucking heretic, I know. I was born under a bad star. But anyway, just a side-note there, in case Mr. The Boss reads this. ;-) I also loved the dramatic mid-tempo guitar work that he inserted into the instrumental section of Cities: when done properly, the sound of power chords left to hang in the air for a while is powerful stuff... Also, I want to hear BSNYC do Blood of My Enemies. ;-) Steve
