I would like to hear recommendations for what to buy if you only have $20 a week to buy records. (I, for one, bought XTC's "Drums and Wires" and was disappointed, so I traded it (it was a defective cassette anyway) for Elvis Costello's "Get Happy," which, strangely enough, reminded me of XTC, and which I like (never heard Costello before). Also got Stevie Wonder's "The Secret Life of Plants," 60% of it is boring but the good parts are GOOD. And the new 12" single by the Roches, "No Trespassing," was pretty awful; I hoped they had recovered from the "Another World" syndrome. And finally, from Waldentapes, Harlan Ellison reading his "A Boy and His Dog." Ellison is the perfect reader. 3 XTC Drums and Wires -3 return it 3 Elvis Costello 4 Stevie Wonder (what a deal! 2 records for 4 bucks, NEW) 3 Roches 10 Harlan Ellison -- 20 bucks) -- .......(o o)....... ranjit@cory.berkeley.edu ---vvv---U---vvv--- ucbvax!cory!ranjit "Irrationality is the square root of all evil" - Douglas Hofstadter "Who's interfering?
