@7:11 CC: you mean Moody Blues? Contemporary critics (many of them) apparently hated them for this reason.

I don't think of Moodys as overproduced cause they sound right to me. If anything but raw Rawk is overproduced to someone - then nothing can be done.

Avatar 7:43pm
Photocopy Cha Cha 2000:

Well Julie you at least knew Broadcast to some extent at the time, I completely ignored them! Were they hyped by music press or what did I find off-putting, can't remember. Well, turns out they gigged quite a lot around Tender Buttons which is when I lived in UK, so I missed on so much by being stubbornly ignorant. It is always unfair when a talented (and apparently enjoying her life very much, from what I have read) person like she was dies much too early.
Avatar 🦇 Swag For Life Member 7:44pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I have a fairly strong antipopulist streak : I shy away if something's too popular. Applies to Cobain & not Broadcast of course. Another thing actually happens with me - is I get a sense an Artist is gonna be a heavy - & I don't always feel ready to fall in love & go thru the ringer of what will be involved. Nick Drake the major example of that for me...
Actually that's still true with Cobsin! He's my age group & all kinds of things - a little close to home !!
...By the time David was Bowie he was done with the Mod bands... He did have a collaboration or two that was more FolkRawk in between actually! A band called "Feathers'...

With Elton I'm thinking for me he's what I think The Who is for everybody else! In sense that I don't know much more than the Hits & later periods - & it's not actually enuff.

When Mackie "offered to create a Donald Duck outfit for John's Central Park gig, it was too good an opportunity to pass up." Didn't know that. But how does one arrive at that particular idea and that offer for that person and that occasion? Get Mackie on the phone.

I first got exposed to Genesis with “Wind & Wuthering” (‘Your Own Special Way’) but then went back and discovered their earlier stuff.

To think for years I had absolutely no idea what these lyrics were about. It was not that rare but neither that common for songs about "these things" to chart in the UK or elsewhere.

I am slowly starting to "get" Genesis. In spite of early exposure (too early, I was 8 years old)to "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" I never got into them before this show.

I'm quite bad @ picking up on lyrics often. Funny. I just let Music submerge me...

with cocteau's early work you have no choice. No way you understand Liz

Yeah the 'good' early Genesis just never crossed my path somehow. Maybe not distributed in the U.S. so much...

Larry Hagman's Dead Horse:

dont go blaming the distributors

oh yeah I think it was like Empty Sky didn't come out till the mid70s in the US when they were already famous

@9:34 Julie: are any of their lyrics, even later ones, understandable? To me it is just melodic syllables.

Heaven or Las Vegas is pretty intelligible that's why I'm not crazy about it

My older brother spoonfed me masses - & he had King Crimson as it happened...maybe he just didn't like Genesis!

@9:38 Julie: I'm not sure which one of the bunch I got from the library I listened first to, but Heaven Or Las Vegas did really hit me right from the first listen, it is the one that convinced me of their greatness.

Mazzy to the core! Thx for keeping them circulating.

“Heaven or Las Vegas” was my go-to, for sleeping on planes when I was doing Newark to LA runs, every other week in the early 90s, but yeah, good luck trying to figure out those lyrics pre-internet! ;)

@cha cha yes i hear that a lot. I think what you hear first makes a huge difference. For me it wsa Treasure.

"The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society" is, just like all the best work by Brothers Davies, perfect songs about the human condition.

It is heartbreaking because in the 1990s we thot the internet would decentralize everything - we were transcending Left & Right politically - getting a new kind of psychedelia - & on & on. Ending the Cold War...

I'm going to watch a 1965 debate featuring James Baldwin and William Buckley: "Is the American Dream at the expense of the American Negro?"
More than half a century on, I expect it to be frustrating and dispiriting. Maybe disturbing. But interesting.

Yes, 80s-early 90s were a great time for female musicians, who all owe a huge debut to Kate.
I saw (among others) The Slits, Tori, Sarah, met Aimee Mann and Kate, etc...
