Apologies for the delay. I encourage all of you to post to mod.music, as
summarizing takes quite a bit of time! --gregbo

<2872@vax4.fluke.UUCP> Subject: self-study music theory text
fluke!kelpie (Tony Garland) is looking for a good music theory text or
set of texts starting from the basics. The book should provide tutorial ex-
planations. Please respond to him directly at
{decvax,ihnp4}!uw-beaver!fluke!kelpie.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<640@lasspvax.UUCP> Subject: Re: self-study music theory text
lasspvax!swb (Scott Brim) would like the information also.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<208@opus.UUCP> Subject: Re: Cryptic lyrics?
In the continuing discussion of cryptic lyrics, opus!rcd (Dick Dunn) gives ex-
ample of the libretto in opera, which adds to the complexity, and mentions
several cases where the music can be at war with the lyrics, due to varying
differences in degrees of subtlety between them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<1585@utcsri.UUCP> Subject: Re: Zappa's Corner
utcsri!kato (John Kitamura) gives us a spelling correction.
"Some people like cupcakes exclusively. I, myself, care
less for them."
Isn't it "I, for one, care less for them."?
Gracefully twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged
icing anointment utensil, he puts forth a quarter ounce green rosette near
substitute "poots" for "puts", please
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<2024@pyuxd.UUCP> Subject: Re: Kate Bush meets a Deadhead
pyuxd!rlr (Rich Rosen) finds it hard to believe that mit-eddie!nessus (Doug
Alan) did not find the Grateful Dead's most serious album (Terrapin Station)
more challenging.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<2498@sjuvax.UUCP> Subject: Re: Looking for Info on group called Love & Rockets
sjuvax!kirsch (Paul Kirsch) tells us that Love & Rockets contains all members of
Bauhaus except Peter Murphy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<2499@sjuvax.UUCP> Subject: Re: The Wall
sjuvax!kirsch (Paul Kirsch) tells us that the album Wish You Were Here is about
Syd Barret, and about how his entry into the room when the band was playing
"Shine On" had a considerable effect on the band.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<2500@sjuvax.UUCP> Subject: Re: Another Greatest Guitarist Candidate
sjuvax!kirsch (Paul Kirsch) gives us the differences between Eddie Van Halen
and Stanley Jordan's techniques. Van Halen's technique is to hammer on one
string at at time, while Jordan plays chords on all six strings.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<2501@sjuvax.UUCP> Subject: Re: new Replacements
sjuvax!kirsch (Paul Kirsch) tells us that the live Replacements cassette is
called "When the Shit Hits the Fans".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<597@isrnix.UUCP> Subject: the rythmatist
isrnix!mr (Michael Regoli) would like to know if anyone has heard the new
Stuart Copeland album "The Rhythmatist" and if so, what impressions they have
of it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<5812@tekecs.UUCP> Subject: Re: ARMISTICE SIGNED!!!
tekecs!jeffw (Jeff Winslow) feels we have turned over a new Page in the his-
tory of net.music (in that Page's name is now no longer to be casually tossed
around the net).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<2101@reed.UUCP> Subject: Re: new Clash (also Husker Du)
reed!soren (Soren Peterson) tells us that Husker Du's cover of the Mary Tyle
Moore theme 'Love is All Around' does not appear on 'Flip Your Wig' because it
is on the flip side of their new single 'Makes No Sense At All'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<2102@reed.UUCP> Subject: Re: Opinion vs. Fact, KT Bush, Gratefully dead, etc.
reed!soren (Soren Peterson) says that as far as arguments like "KB is just
plain good, Madonna is just plain bad" go, you can't have it both ways, and
you can't even make those kind of comparisons unless there is some absolute
standard under which to judge who is better.
[Moderator's note: I've seen this argument in this group ever since I started
reading it 2+ years ago, and I've been saying the same thing all along.]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<1271@decwrl.UUCP> Subject: SUICIDE
dec-galaxy!malik (Karl Malik) would like some information on a band called
Suicide. He hard them one day and was very impressed. He'd like to hear a
review on a new album of theirs if it exists.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<1273@decwrl.UUCP> Subject: Re: A Kate Bush meets the Dead
dec-curium!jackson (Seth Jackson) quotes many Grateful Dead albums that he
feels are serious (e.g. "Aoxomoxoa", "Live Dead" and "Anthem of the Sun").
He wants to know what pyuxd!rlr (Rich Rosen's) definition of serious is, and
states that no GD fans he know of dislike "Terrapin Station" or any other GD
albums.
