Simon Nicol, CONSONANT PLEASE CAROL. Simon Nicol is Fairport
Convention's guitarist, probably the longest-serving veteran in the
band, and this spinoff project is somewhat more interesting than the
last few Fairport CDs, though I would hesitate to call it "good."
Positive points: lots of singing throughout by Sheila and Sheryl Parker,
who have done some concert work with Fairport, but who have not joined
the band, dammit. (The Parker sisters provide some badly needed vocal
reinforcement to Fairport's wimpy singing, which has been a weak point
since Swarbrick left.) Another positive point is the final
instrumental, a medley of "Rhapsody in Blue" and "Telstar."
Weak point: too many mediocre songs, most treacly of which is a song
comparing the sinking of the Titanic to the Challenger explosion.
I am told that the title, which makes no sense to Americans, refers to a
British TV game show which is roughly equivalent to WHEEL OF FORTUNE.

It's fairly good but not brilliant. Has a couple of quite good tracks
and a number that are more suited for filler/background music.
Have you heard Massive Attack v. Mad Professor / 'No Protection'?
That's a much better album in the same vein..

I just read the electronic music item, and I can't get Dolby's _One of our
Submarines_ out of my head.

Oyster Band, LIBERTY HALL. Though the band now disowns it, this remains
a brilliant electric folk recording, the first of four late-80s albums
which represent the peak of the Oysters' work. I need to do something
with that Oyster Band album I started when their newest, mostly-pop
album came out.

Well...If I had a turntabe at work I'd be listening to the new Slint
bootleg. But I don't, so I'm listening to Judy Dow Rummelhart from down
the hall.

"Memories of Love" -- Future Bible Heroes, another Stephen Merritt proj.
Fairly good (though somewhat poppier than the other projects, perhaps
due to the collaboration with Christopher Ewen..) The track that's
currently playing, a humorous song called "She Devils From the Deep"
gets bonus points for being the only song I've ever heard that plausibly
uses the word "cthonian" in a lyric..

Unrelated, but I'm looking forward to seeing Supersugar at the Brick City
Music Hall, Fri. night. I saw them live halloween night, and it changed my
life! Amazing music.......and I've heard some pretty incredible stuff in my
day.

re #271: It's a real word.. As used in the song:
Stalking all the surfer boys (tearing, pairing..)
Cackling in chtonian joy (mating, mutilating..)
She-Devils of the Deep!
It's an odd little humorous song about these, well, aquatic she-devils..
