But it's computer-only. If you get a stereo component one, then you can't make copies of copies and you have to buy special non-copyable discs which cost more. If you don't have a great sound card in your computer, your discs aren't going to sound as good when made on you computer compared to those made on the stereo component ones. Stuff to think about, I guess... Jake I have a Philips dual deck CD recorder, and I can make copies of copies. What you can't do is record a copy of a recorded CD at high/quick speed. You can make a copy of an original in half the time. What youcan't do is make a copy of a copied CD in the "fast" mode...You make the copy in real time, meaning if the CD is 50 minutes, it will take close to 50 minutes to copy. Get the stand alone machine, it is great, much better than any computer system.

Bust day in the office, I guess, deadlines, you know... So here goes for today and tomorrow: On February 16, in 1957, Ronnie Self recorded "Big fool", "Black night blues" and "Flame of love" at Owen Bradley's Studio in Nashville; 1961, Doug Sahm & the Spot Barnett Band recorded "Just a moment" and "Sapphire" at San Antonio's Texas Sound Studios; 1965, the Beatles recorded "Yes it is" (completed), "Another girl" and "I need you" (both started on the 15th, completed to day) at Abbey Road; 1966, James Brown recorded "It's a man's, man's, man's world" at New York's Talent Masters; 1967, the Beatles, having recorded the rhythm track on Fab. 8, finished the basics of "Good morning good morning", completing the song with overdubs on March 13, 28 and 29; 1967, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers recorded "Greeny" and "Missing you" at London's Decca Studios. Both songs are to be found on "Rare tracks, vol. 1"; 1970, Jimi Hendrix recorded "Freedom" at New York's Record Plant; 1971, Aretha Franklin recorded "Day dreamin'" and "Rock steady" at Miami's Criteria Studios. On February 17, in 1965, the Beatles recorded "The night before" and "You like me too much" at Abbey Road; 1965, the Kinks spent their last of three consecutive days at London's Pye Studios. Over those 3 days eight songs were recorded, to complete their "Kinda Kinks" lp. Those songs? "Look for me baby", "Got my feet on the ground", "Nothin' in the world can stop me worryin' 'bout that girl", "Naggin' woman", "Wonder where my baby is tonight", "Dancing in the street", "So long" and "You shouldn't be sad"; 1966, Percy Sledge recorded "When a man loves a woman" at Sheffield's Muscle Shoals Studios; 1967, the Beatles recorded the basics of "Being for the benefit of Mr Kite!" at Abbey Road. Overdubs were recorded on Fab. 20, March 28, 29 and 31; 1967, Aretha Franklin recorded "(You make me feel like) A natural woman" at New York's Atlantic Studios; 1967, Dutch legends the Outsiders played a gig in Breda, Holland, at beat-centre de Schuur (the Barn, for all you unable to pronounce this great Dutch sound-effect. And for the pilgrims: your pronunciation of Breda should sound something like Braydah...). Anyway, the funny introduction and five of the songs played that night made up side one of the Outsiders' debut lp. Those songs? "Story 16", "Tears are falling from my eyes", "Ain't gonna miss you", "I wish I could" and "Afraid of the dark". BTW I'm not quite sure bout that 'side one' bit: side one would be running for some 22 minutes, as opposed to side two, running just over 16 minutes... Anybody on the list owning the lp could fill in those details; 1969, Jimi Hendrix recorded "Hear my train a-comin' (get my heart back together)" and "Spanish castle magic" at London's Olympic Studios; 1969, Otis Rush recorded "Feel so bad", "Gambler's blues" and "Reap what you sow" at Sheffield's Muscle Shoals Studios; 1975, Jerry Lee Lewis recorded "Crawdad song", "Goodnight Irene" and "Your cheatin' heart", in Memphis. There! You wouldn't have wanted to miss that, now would you... That's it for this week, have yourselves a good weekend! Time to get primitive!

This kinda thing has always killed me 'cuz it's untrue, Mr. Fusco. The people in question seem to like to make that generalization, but it may be due to the fact that I just *like* more music than they do. What they fail to recognize is that there's plenty of bands *without* females involved that I like and they don't, as well. The ratio ends up being pretty damn close. In fact, there are tons of bands w/women in them that I've never liked... 1313 Mockingbird Lane never did it for me. Neither did The Ultra Five (even when a friend of mine drummed for 'em). And, until fairly recently, I never liked The Brood. (I actually like the more recent material better.) Throw in all that Riot Grrl stuff, too. Also throw in wishy-washy singer-songwriter female material. Need I go on. > In fact, I stopped seeing the Prissteens after Joe > Vincent split Then you missed out on some good songs. I'll grant you that the band wasn't as good without him. But, then, I liked three things about that band: the songs, Joe's drumming, and Leslie's guitar playing. And two out of three was enough for me. (I still think, however, that when they brought Jon Chalmers on-board, they should've had him on guitar, with Lori staying on bass.) > What was that band you used dig...Starfish? "They've > got some really good songs..." I'll repeat what I said the night of their first show. (Did they play more than 2?) "Starkist sucked." And I said that with the full knowledge that I was pretty close friends with most of the band at the time. I still think they stunk. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2001 12:31:15 -0500 From: "Mark Sultan" Subject: Q65 For Sale Hey Hey Hey!

It is a single by a group called The Shondells. No, it is neither the Shondels who would later turn into The Ides Of March nor are they Tommy James & The Shondells but rather a black girl group. The specifics on the single are as follows: A-Side: I Gotta Tell It (J. Otis/E.Peace) B-Side: Wonderful One (A.Simms) Label: King Records Cat: 45-5656 Year: 1962 (I peg it at that year) The a-side is credited to Novella Simmons & Shirlee Brooks vocals & The Shondells with Orchestra, while the b-side is credited to The Shondells with Orchestra. Yes, this is the same "I Gotta Tell It" that was recorded by The Blossoms. So who were these Shondells and did they release anything else? Did they go on to record under other names?

Formed in 1984 by Dom Mariani and Richard Lane in Perth as a sixties-inspired garage band, they gradually evolved towards a power-pop sound. Early shows were entitled "Flowers From The Garage", "Reverberation" and "Psychedelic Showdown". In 1985, their Citadel single "Make You Mine" was the second biggest selling independent single in Australia, behind the Gurus' "Like Wow-Wipeout!". That same year, Rob Younger produced their "Love Will Grow" 12" EP (#1 on the independent charts). The Stems then supported the Groovies during their 1986 Australian tour. The "At First Sight... Violets Are Blue" power-pop LP came out in 1987 (the third biggest selling Australian independent release for that year, behind the Go-Betweens and Steve Kilbey), after which the band broke up, though its legacy in Perth would endure for the next ten years. Dom Mariani was also in the Summer Suns, the Someloves, the Stonefish, Orange and of course DM3. He has a new instrumental band these days. He's also a big Creedence fan, by the way (just to make the link with a recent thread). The other Stems went on to the Neptunes, the Shivers, Sea Stories, the Catalinas and the Chevelles. The Stems, another great band from Australia! > i was wondering how the last lp is It's good punky power-pop/garage with a cool sound. At least one song, "This Kind Of Feeling", is guaranteed to put a big old banana smile on your face. "Every Summer Day" is a great Beach Boys update, too. Dig, Crawdaddy Simon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2001 14:44:16 -0500 From: "Blair Buscareno" Subject: The Stems, was Re: multiple topics addressed... Crawdaddy Simon pretty much said all the important stuff on The Stems, but I'd like to add my opinion... The Stems are my favorite Aussie band, both due to their garage stuff and the incredible pop sounds they came up with. I think "At First Sight" (which was the single from Yahoo Serious' movie, "Young Einstein", which also featured a Lime Spiders' track) is one of the most perfect pop songs ever recorded. Of course, The Someloves recorded some excellent pop sounds, as well. Add that to the genius power pop of The DM3's "1x, 2x, Devastated" and you start to realize why I think Dom Mariani should be considered one of Australia's greatest natural resources. Any sane world would shower this man with riches.

I was just funnin' with ya. There are three things that we goof on you about: 1) You drive really far to go see bands, sometimes multiple times in the same week. 2) You love chicken wings and potato logs. 3) You dig bands with cute girls in them. There's nothing wrong with any of that. P.S. Please don't beat me up in front of the Mercury Lounge. __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2001 11:49:52 -0800 (PST) From: Iam Fuzzco Subject: Napster Reveals Blueprint for New Version From www.inside.com: The Secret's Out: Napster and Bertelsmann Finally Reveal Blueprint for New Version of File-Swapping Service New Napster should look just like old Napster, except now users will need a key to decode 'scrambled' files. But no details yet on whether 're-architected' system will allow songs to be blocked per court order. by Charles C. Mann Friday, February 16 01:19 P.M. At long last, Napster and Bertelsmann announced on Friday how they would take the first steps toward restructuring the free, music-swapping network into the paid, membership-driven service promised by both companies last Halloween, when they revealed their accord. Their plan, at least in its initial form, is based on a filesharing system like the one that the original Napster -- call it Napster I -- has made into an international phenomenon. But the new Napster -- call it Napster II -- will use a proprietary form of digital-rights management to impose limitations on what members do with the files once they download them from other Napster members. The changes may occur as early as June, but Napster is not yet ready to provide a firm date. The new system, which Napster has been presenting to the record labels and publishers with which it is in litigation, will be a first step toward accomplishing several major goals, according to the company. If all goes as planned, it will help create a way for the labels, publishers, artists and Napster itself to learn what is being traded on the service and be paid accordingly. And in theory, it will preserve many of the decentralized, file-sharing features that have made its service so popular, while avoiding most of the costs and technical pitfalls of a centralized, controlled-from-the-top music distribution network. Napster II will be, in New Economy parlance, ''re-architected'' with special software put together by Napster and Digital World Services, a new Bertelsmann subsidiary based in New York City and Hamburg that specializes in digital-rights management. DWS usually works in tandem with Intertrust, a California secure-media startup. From the outside, Napster II should look very similar to Napster I. Users will still download the Napster ''client'' program from Napster.com. Once they install and load the client, the software will, as before, send a list of users' song files to a central index in Napster's Silicon Valley headquarters. Users will continue to search that index for songs on other users' hard drives, clicking on titles to download tracks. But inside the client software, in ways that Napster believes will be mostly invisible to the average user, the system will be, if the company's plan follows through, considerably changed. Imagine a Napster II user who rips Jennifer Lopez's current hit CD, J. Lo. -- that is, translates its songs into MP3 files on a hard drive. In Napster II, as in Napster I, the J.Lo. MP3s will appear on the Napster index and be available for trading. But when somebody wants to upload one of the songs, the song will, so to speak, go through the car wash on the way over. The Napster client software will encrypt it on the fly, and then send the scrambled result to the person who requested it. That second member will have a unique software ''key'' that unlocks the encryption and permits the song to be played. And, depending on the type of membership that the second Napster user has paid for, he or she will be able to do other things with the song -- burn it onto a CD, for example. Exactly what ''entitlements,'' as Napster calls them, would be possible, (and under what circumstances) is still under discussion. But as Napster acknowledges, the restructuring of its architecture will not answer the demands by the recording industry that it block songs whose copyright holders do not want them to appear on the service. Napster presented the new features as the initial moves in a series of alterations that will, company management hopes, ultimately transform the file-swapping service into a valuable -- and profitable -- part of the music industry. ''Today's announcement underscores one key fact: the real questions about Napster's future are economic, not technical or legal,'' Napster interim CEO Hank Barry said in a statement. ''Our alliance with Bertelsmann and the Bertelsmann eCommerce Group was our first important step toward a model that makes payments to artists, songwriters and other rightsholders. This solution is further evidence of the seriousness of our effort to reach an agreement with the record companies that will keep Napster running, reliable, and enjoyable.''
