Sorry are you referring to people who have made a comparison between Jethro Tull and the Charlatans? I'm not sure if you are so excuse me if I'm barking up the wrong tree but I see a vague similarity in some of the music and certainly did not get that idea from a magazine (I don't buy them and never have). I got it from listening to Up to Our Hips. Its hard to ignore the stylistic similarity. There is a 70's feel to the keyboards and guitar. Just my humble opinion, no need to take me to task for it. Please ignore this if that is not what you were referring to Kevin -------------------------------- Date: Tue, 20 Aug 1996 11:46:17 +0800 (WST) From: Kevin Johnson PhD Geopolitics Subject: RE: AAAAUURRGH!!!

I just replied to this and then it occurred to me that you probably think I meant one shouldn't be proud of being a musician. What I meant was you shouldn't be proud of being close minded or snobby. I consider myself a musician first and a researcher second and while it ultimately has no more validity than many other occupations it is nothing to be ashamed of either. Hope that clears things up. By the way are you the one who got really uptight about the Jethro Tull/Charlatans comparison? I never bothered to see who it was. Not that I mind its quite an amusing diversion to read some of the messages on this list. Its good to see people getting passionate about things. It gives me more hope that that enthusiasm can be channelled into something more productive. kevin -------------------------------- Date: Tue, 20 Aug 1996 10:34:33 +0100 From: dbfreeman@mail.cdc.co.uk (Daniel Freeman) Subject: Re:AAAAUUURRGH, Play nicely everyone.

Actually, I think you will find the reason you were not removed was because you sent you unsubscribe request to the list not to the appropriate place - not just once but several times. Which incidentally became more than a little annoying after a while. However, I do agree that it is a shame you feel you should unsubscribe due to a few, obvious, idiots sending you hate mail. There is an easier way to remedy that situation without unsubscribing. Send the hate mail to the postmaster of the server it came from with a note attatched that you do not like such harrassment. ---------------------------------- Date: Tue, 20 Aug 1996 12:22:39 -0400 (EDT) From: Heather Watson Subject: Re: All the whining Can we close this one? --------------------------------- Date: Tue, 20 Aug 1996 21:20:41 -0400 From: Anne Wong Subject: don't look back ok everybody before everyFREAKINbody gets off this list please stop bickering pretend these recent "controversial" topics have never been mentioned and get on with it. come on, just swallow your pride and move on! it's quite simple. no more AAAARRGGHH mail. plus, the next person who insists on sticking to this madness has the coodies. ok? love --------------------------------- Date: Tue, 20 Aug 1996 13:08:40 -0400 From: Vdrklvr@aol.com Subject: Re: No Subject thanks deborah.. i have since decided not 2 b removed because the few people i have been getting hate mail from aren't worth it... i enjoy reading everyone's stories and opinions... anyone see any good concerts lately???? ---------------------------------- Date: Tue, 20 Aug 1996 13:17:20 -0400 From: Vdrklvr@aol.com Subject: Fwd: Returned mail: User unknown let me know if there's anything i can do 2 help... i, myself, just got robbed on vacation (yeah!) and i am saving up 2 go to england, france and amsterdam in february... so i know what it's like 2 not have 2 much money... as far as cd's and concerts - i buy and go all the time... let me know what you're looking 4... k? i just went 2 see alanys morrisette last nite... i wasn't sure how it was going 2 b but it was great... that woman can sing! i also just brought a couple new cd's (hard house, etc.) we're always goin 2 rave parties in nyc... i'm goin 2 one this weekend... i'll let u know how it was... ----------------------------------- Date: Tue, 20 Aug 1996 20:58:51 +0100 From: Graham Cawsey Subject: Reading Festival Sorry about this post having nothing to with The Charlies.

I made the mistake of agreeing with someone that one or two of their songs DO sound a bit like Jethro Tull and while I didn't get hate mail exactly there were some heated and uncalled for comments made. By the way is that comment in parentheses (land of the free opinion) a joke? I thought opinions were $25 per plus tax unless it was a legal opinion and then the sky's the limit?

Can you really expect much more through email? There was an interesting interview with Noam Chomsky about the internet and how it degrades exchanges because people don't think before they type. His idea seems to be borne out don't you think? Too many people too quick to access their computer and not as keen to access their brains maybe? The dis-information superhighway? The non-information superhighway? Not totally true because I have found out some interesting things on the net a lot more rapidly than I would otherwise (being in Perth, the most isolated capital city in the world - as we are constantly reminded). Mind is speed of access all that important. It seems we are getting overloaded with information and consequently have less time to think about it, which would have to be more important surely? Back to the same point: too quick to access a computer... Has the Charlatans album been released in the UK or US yet? Is there a date? We won't get it here for at least 2 months after anywhere else unless we want to import it and pay more Kevin --------------------------------- Date: Wed, 21 Aug 1996 12:17:03 +0800 (WST) From: Kevin Johnson PhD Geopolitics Subject: Re: Reply to: Re: No Subject On Tue, 20 Aug 1996, SPROSTON GREEN wrote: > well ihave not seen a good concert in a while but the best shows i have ever scene were > > the charlatans uk.......10 and 11 tour > moby and the prodigy.......back a few years ago(i think in 92) > the flaming lips.....transmissions from the satalite heart show > james......a year ago > bjork........last tour A little bit of trivia. I played some guitar for a local techno band that supported Bjork when she was here in March. Got to meet the band, her (although she was a bit stand-offish) and Goldie who was much friendlier.

Well we have kangaroos roaming the city streets. We eat prawns and fight giant crocodiles whenever we go swimming. I'm actually a long term tourist here (12 years now) from England. I've never been robbed but we do have a State Premier (like your governors) here in Western Australia who makes Pete Wilson look like a progressive and although I've never been in his office I'm sure he has a photo of the Queen next to one of Ronald Reagan kissing Margaret Thatcher. Yes its a bit of a cowboy state. Australia is basically a small city on the west coast with great beaches and a fairly good UK influenced band scene which I am a part of (although over the last few years the US college rock and grunge sound has taken over - you may have even heard of Ammonia they toured the US recently and are like Silverchair). This is Perth: population around 1.5 million. Lots of ex pat poms.And on the east coast there are two major cities, all bigger, with slightly dirtier beaches and more mainstream music scenes that are more obviously US influenced. On the south east coast there is Melbourne with a mix of music scenes. My favourite city in Australia. I'm finishing up my research project in 18 months and then I'm off to live in Melbourne to seek fame and fortune as a musician. Maybe I'll get the chance to be robbed soon. I'm going to be in the US in January and Canada from June to August next year. Here's hoping.

I've been reading all the junk about Jethro Tull sounding like the Charlatans (or visa/versa), so I had to check it out for myself. I went to a great local store and they acctually had a "used" Tull best-of Cd so I popped it in the listening booth cd player, And was quickly reminded how much I disliked "Aqualung". So I'm skipping through tracks going "NOPE, NO-WAY, NOPE, NOT IN A MILLION YEARS........." until I came to a track called "HYMN 49", the sound was unmistakeable, it certainly had a Charlatans feel going on. I could almost hear Tim singing (weird). Then of-course Mr.Tull came in and screwed that high up....... So I say yes and no, and if the Charlies were influenced, they only kept the good.

That was my point. The Charlatans are a lot more listenable, better melodies, better guitar, no flute, but there is a similarity. Mind you the influence might not be conscious it may be just a coincidence but Tim and Co are about 28, 29, 30 aren't they? That would mean they would have just got into listening to music when Jethro Tull were big in England, so maybe its an unconscious influence (my psych friend tells me there's no such thing as a "sub-conscious").

I'm guessing it obviously was and with that thought in mind how different was the charlatans version to the original. Like I said I'm not a beastie boys fan - in fact I think they are utter rubbish. As an aside, I just saw the manics play in Toronto this weekend, and they were amazing. I think I rate them in my top 5 all time favourite live shows ever.

In fact, it isn't that "Time For Livin" song The Charlatans cover on the Help album. That is a Sly & Family Stone song which I've not heard the original of actually. Anyway, the Beastie Boys' "Time For Living", is one of their more punkish songs on the "Check Your Head" album. It's cool, but it's definetely nothing like Sly's "Time For Livin".

There is actually a newsgroup for the Charlatans, but it isn't visited too much. It's on alt.music.charlatans . If you can't find it, you have to ask your newsserver to get it on your menu. All of you should go there. At last there is also a news message. 109, the Charlatans free info service, has put out the new issue of their very informative fan magazine. It's issue 16. If you want it, you just have to send a large SAE inc 2xIRC for overseas to "109" PO Box 94, Northwich, CW9 5TS. I also saw the new video by the Charlatans, and it was excellent. Rob behind the piano like he used to. I'm happy they did record that video before he died. The song is a killer!!! I'm so happy.. Cheers, Eirik. NB! check out my homepage as well, for news or other things.

Completely different types of music, and Peart is more of an overall percussionist than a drummer. Hey, Rush isn't that bad.
