Really-From: IED0DXM@UCLAMVS Hi, folks, this is Andrew Marvick speaking. You haven't heard from me in Love-Hounds before, although my name is probably familiar to you. I'm writing to you myself because I'm a little worried about IED. (He's the guy I post messages for -- although, having very little interest in pop stars myself, I rarely pay any attention to what I write for him.) It seems that this morning IED disappeared. I mean, he simply DISAPPEARED. Here's how it happened. I was awakened this morning by the sound of IED's car door slamming outside the house. I looked out the window in time to see his car driving off towards Pasadena (of all places!), and as he sped down the road I thought I could hear him screaming something about "Poo-bah's" and "no time to waste!" I didn't know what to make of it. You know, most of the time IED just sits around in the back yard with an old Sony D-5 and some headphones -- he's not in the habit of driving to Pasadena, I can tell you! Aside from sitting listening to a couple of Kate Bush albums over and over (pretty weird stuff if you ask me), all he ever does is dictate alot of obsessive, histrionic messages to me every day. Anyway, I thought no more of it, but about one this afternoon he returned home, carrying something in a brown paper bag, and slammed the door to his ROOM behind him. (IED NEVER goes into his ROOM!) I called through the door to him, asking if there was anything wrong, and he gave a pretty strange answer. I don't know what to make of it, but maybe you Kate Bush fans will understand what he was talking about. As near as I could make it out, what he said was this: "I've been out in the Garden for sixteen months, and now I've come back into the House!" Anyway, the gist of the matter is that when I opened the door and went in to ask him what the devil he was talking about, he was gone -- there was NOBODY IN THE ROOM. Well, I mean to say, the twins (who are back in L.A. for a few weeks, on holiday from their home in the Kentish veldt) and I were more than a little put out at this sort of behaviour, even from a weird old get like IED. So I ask you, what are we to make of it? -- Andrew Marvick P.S.: Looks as though you'll have to wait a bit for IED's next posting, so try to remember where you and he left off in whatever your latest dumb argument is.

I wonder if this means that IED has finally seen the light that it is
*The Dreaming* which is the greatest entity of all space and time --
not *Hounds of Love*?

He probably turned into a Pod Person.
Consult Fu-Sheng Tsung immediately!!!

Now that andrew has put this role-playing nonsense back in the D&D
box where it belongs, let's get on with this business of acting like
real people and being righteously offended by jim "shredded slime"
hofmann's interview with the Aryan bikers. Nothing like a wall of
guitars to write *your message here*. Nothing quite so uncomfortable
as *real* pluralism. No editorializing by our interviewer, either
(and the article is somewhat the better for it, I think). Just words
and actions to fit into the frame-theirs or yours.
I know a bunch of you would only play this in elevators, but there's
a great Japanese recording of Cage's prepared piano on Denon CD out
that might be worth hunting up. Roger Miller it ain't (he's got an
EP due out soon, methinks), but this Takahashi guy plays well.
Oh yes-the SOnic Youth CD is just the thing for playing REALLY loud.
No annoying clicks or pops. Just that wall of turgid oatmeal....
