I bought it from Tom Cora when they played in town last Sunday. The next afternoon they guest DJ'd for 1 1/2 hours on a radio show a friend of mine has on a local college station. Naturally they played such stuff as: Skeleton Crew (natch), News From Babel, Tim Hodgkinson, Massacre, Material, The Orthotonics, etc., etc. BTW Doug, have any of the following played in your area recently (ever)? Skeleton Crew Roy Harper/Chris Spedding Chris & Cosey Frith/Hodgkinson Dave Thomas & The Pedestrians John Zorn* All have played in Toronto within the last 4 months or so. If you scored less than half, perhaps you should move up here. Not only is the entertainment great, but we have the winningest team in baseball (how 'bout them Jays, eh?) :-) :-) Jim Bailey UTCS p.s. This was NOT a flame. It's sole purpose was information (although there may have been a slight dig in the metaphorical ribs). *actually Zorn doesn't play until Oct. 29th. Also D.T. & P were due to return on the 24th but cancelled out (:-( ).

Damn! Roy Harper played there and you didn't tell me! I would have driven to Tornoto to see him! (How far away is it?) People who have played here recently, though: Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic Roger Miller (not the country/western one, though, yes he played here too...) Suzanne Vega Robyn Hitchcock Red Lorry Yellow Lorry Love and Rockets The Coctau Twins The Cure Jane Siberry Certain General Shriekback Einsturzende Neubauten So, it's not *so* bad.... -Doug Alan nessus@mit-eddie.UUCP (or ARPA)

We got Robert Dick the flute player here once, he has worked with John Zorn. Pere Ubu was here once (I played in a band that opened up for them). Ronald Shannon Jackson and the Decoding Society will be here November 3. I'm trying to help put Pgh. on the touring map but it's not easy.
