who really gives a shit? Its just pop music and as such you can 
probably find all sorts of unlikely comparisons. Nothing is as original

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

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.

To everyone,

I have been of this mailing list for one week and it's been shite.
I've had about four messages that I've actually been interested in reading.
(quite an amazing fact, considering this list generates about six millions 
messages a day !)
All the rest have been about people being shitty to each other.

Can some one tell me who did  what,  to who, and why ? because its all very 
confusing and can will all try and be nice to each other, and don't slag
people off for what opinions they hold

Thank you and good nite

Danny,

I made the mistake of not agreeing with someone on their comparison of the
Charlatans to Jethro Tull... Since then people (not everyone) have been
sending me hate mail... I don't think they know I'm from America (land of the
free opinion)...
So that's what started the little tiff... I have since kept my opinions 2
myself as I don't think it's worth it... I have even since asked 2 be removed
from this mailing list after being sweared at and told I was a tosser
(whatever that means)... I am still on the list so I guess they don't care...
Anyway have a great day!!!! :)~ 

Peace,

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.

Hear, hear!  It didn't seem that bad to me.  On the other hand, I'm used to
dealing with lawyers everyday who think they haven't done their job unless
they've emotionally disemboweled someone before coffee break.

Hey, XXXXXX, any relation to Ken Stringfellow of the Posies?  I just saw them
this weekend at a festival here.  Great, high energy band.  

Cheer up everyone.  Only a few days until the Charlatans single release.
Until then...I will not say "AAAUURGH".   Maybe "Hmmmm..."

Its a bit scary isn't it? 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? (not that I'm 
suggesting that Australia is any better, lets not kid ourselves hey?).

Peace to you also

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

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. Saw the show twice at a really nice outdoor venue we have 
here.

they were a san fran. group back in the sixties. they are the reason why the
uk group you have grown to love added the uk to their name. they were having
a hard time about their name here in the states once some friendly came out.
so for legal reason's and distribution reasons the became 'the charlatans
uk' over here.

Well how about... "there is no history without nuance and nuance is 
open to interpretation." I think that was Norman Mailer that

Australia hey? 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.

Speak to you soon

check it out Mat, the charlatans that you were speaking of are early 
sixties or before, but they are definitly NOT psychedelic!! they sing
some old country/folky junk. one of the tracks is "folsom prison blues"
a Johnny Cash song. in 1995 they re-released a best of deal and I bought 
it as a novelty item. either way it kinda sucks. it was recorded in
San Francisco

hope it helps.

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.

I agree that the inspiral carpets are an excellent band but i think that

I saw the furs in 92 at UCR in riverside cal. they were awwwwright, but that
new smiths cover that the singers (sorry don't know his name) new band has
is really better than their old stuff. 
they do "How soon is now" one of the best smiths songs and great by any
standard, even rob

but come on the cure haven't had a good single since facination street and
evn this fan is getting annoyed by the bad pop. I liked the depth of
wish....edge of the deep....trust....cut.....the end.....open.....doing the
unstuck....amoung others but the singles friday and high were pathetic......

sorry for being so into the eighties

in more related news I liked the desert island and top ten charletans songs
but wondered what covers you out their might like to hear? 

no jethro tull songs please
I was thinkin LA women or riders on the storm by jim and the doors
I know their american but they are better than the Aphgan Wiggers

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").

Ah the Gretsch. I have a 1968 double anniversary special all original 
with Bigsby tremelo arm... Great look, not a bad sound for clean chords, 
and it was a bargain for Aus$1000 about 6 years ago. Just a bit of

Sounds like a nice guitar. I think the bigsby looks cool, but cuts the

Broadcaster that looks like a Gretsch, but was made in the 'Baldwin Era'
It sounds a bit like a Gibson ES. I also just bought a Ricky 360s. I'm

Okay I have to ask the a very stupid question to the list based on this
email.  I'm not a beastie boys fan so I have no idea, but, the song "time
for livin'" on the HELP album is this the song that was made reference to
here????  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.  And they even did a cover of "take the skinheads bowling" but sadly
only 3 older songs.

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".

Hi, and welcome to the list. 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.

the beastie boys 'time for livin' is not the same as the charlatans from
help. that is a sly and the family stone cover. if you think the beastie
boys are utter rubbish give 'the in sounds from way out' a listen.

Hmmm. I think that comparing Reni or Brookes with Neil Peart is a bit off.
Completely different types of music, and Peart is more of an overall
percussionist than a drummer.

Hey, Rush isn't that bad. They've done Canada more proud than Alanis "I'll

hi!

Oasis hasn't broken up. Liam just said he wanted to stay home to move into a
new house, and Noel just said "go on, and come to America when you're ready".
Liam isn't therefore joining the rest of the band on their US tour. Nothing
more dramatic than that. But if Liam would quit or get fired, I doubt very
much it would brake up the band. Noel IS the band, so unfortunate for some
and good for others, Oasis is still running.....
