 KN> OK, you win, you make even less sense than I do. But I'm straight. 
That's a Modern Lovers song, innit?
 DM> Hmong others 
 KN> ObWisconsin? 
Yup, but I'm afraid Paul McArtney gets royalties when you sing that.
 
 KN> No, _TOtR&RTYtD_ is a terrible album, but _Bursting Out_ is OK.
That was my impression too, though I expressed it diplomatically
since Pete served very fine turnips.  He and Carole had some unusual
tastes in music, Noel Harrison, for example, but they both really
got off on the Nice's "Rondo (69)".
 KN> Personally I like _Yessongs_. It's not essential, but it is nice to 
 KN> have. And I love the version of "Siberian Khatru" on there...
Well, I'll have to try it again sometime.  Yes really lost me after
_Fragile_ back in the 70's and I haven't been totally impressed
with much that I've gone back to investigate later.  I don't think
I've ever even heard all of _Topographic Oceans_.  Let me know if
you come upon an extra (cheap) 8 track of that one...
 DM> Got to hear about a side of _Space Ritual_ last week...
 KN> I've been quoted as saying that album sounds like "Gong 
 KN> on PCP" though I was just listening to it last night and 
 KN> find I enjoy it nonetheless. I'll actually argue that the
 KN> early studio albums are genuinely good. 
Not with me, you won't, since I tend to agree.
 
 DM> (Tony Kaye from Yes on rhythm organ)...
 KN> Was that a colour note rhythm organ or the one with the 
 KN> little buttons labelled Am, G, G7, Em, etc etc? Oooooh 
 KN> aren't we catty today?
Mao.
 KN> Hey, Three Man Army actually had a couple of decent tunes 
 KN> and Baker Gurvitz Army actually had one sort of decent tune. 
A guitarist pal in college who was a big Steve Hillage fan also
liked Three Man Army a lot, which I understood much better than
the guy who loved all of Wakeman's solo album but got all offended
by the Ramones.  Which is more understandable in turn than the guy
who built a PAIA synth from a kit and got himself a hat like the
Captain and Tennille.  Musta had a thing about vaguely equine
females.  Anyway, I like BGA's "Hearts On Fire" pretty well
cuz it almost sounds like Sharks...
ObProg: The first _Gun_ album was Roger Dean's first album cover.
There was still a little Gahan Wilson in his style at that point.
 KN> Chairs, 
 KN> Kenneth 
... Hang by your thumbs and write if you get work.
