I'm going to see Acid Mothers Temple and the Melting
Paraiso U.F.O. for the 1st time tomorrow night at the
Knitting Factory in NYC. The show is on the
"ShortList" in the current Village Voice. Here's what
Chuck Eddy has to say about them:

Today's Japanese acid-rock revival is a droning ritual
of offhand eclecticism and eternal repetition a la
Germany 30 years ago; while guitar genius Kawabata
Makoto's traveling Nagoya commune might not match the
pastoral beauty of Ghost or Angel'in Heavy Syrup,
they're still the heavy legends of the bunch, and way
more pastorally beautiful than their inspirations Blue
Cheer or the Mothers of Invention ever were. If you'd
had a chance to see Amon Duul in 1970, you would've
gone, right?

There was a review of an AMT gig in the UK about 2 or
3 issues back in Mojo in which Kawabata was favorably
compared to Hendrix. Needless to say, I'm very
excited about this show, which cost me a grand total
of $11 including service charge. Is anyone else
going?

PS I just bought Mojo 100 last night, which has at
least 3 Neil references. Am I the only one, or are
other USA rusties not able to buy this as early each
month as they used to?

Besides Neil, I'm a big Daniel Lanois fan, and among others, his excellent
collaboration with Emmylou Harris on "Wrecking Ball." Is there someone out
there who would trade/B&P their set at the 1995 Bridge benefit? (if a disc
contained any of Neil's tunes (esp. DBTR w/Brooooce) that would be a plus!)

Besides a decent collection of other stuff, for trade I've got a very nice
BBC broadcast of Emmylou w/Lanois Band in London 1995 ("Orphan Girl" boot),
and a couple of Lanois live discs. (Come to think of it, if anyone's got
OTHER 1995 "Wrecking Ball" shows, or live Lanois, to trade, I'd be up for
that too!).

Thanks, Alok

Postal Rates Set for Summer Increase
The Associated Press
Mar 22 2002 8:19AM


WASHINGTON (AP) - The post office appears headed for a midsummer rate
increase - perhaps 3 cents more to mail a letter - after winning
near-unanimous agreement from businesses and organizations that usually
fight vigorously to prevent higher postal rates.

Without the usual opposition, the independent Postal Rate Commission gave
speeded-up consideration to the Postal Service's request for new rates.

The commission was issuing its decision Friday.

Under the Postal Service proposal, which could take effect as early as June
30, the cost of a first-class stamp would rise 3 cents to 37 cents, a 2-cent
boost would put the rate for post cards at 23 cents, and most other charges
would also go up.

Battered by declining business in a slow economy, the post office lost $1.68
billion last year and was anticipating a $1.35 billion loss this year after
freezing new construction and cutting 12,000 jobs.

The agency announced Sept. 11 it would seek higher rates to take effect this
fall.

Then the terror attacks, followed by the anthrax-by-mail infections, socked
the agency with hundreds of millions of dollars in additional costs for
cleanup and preventing future mail contamination.

Knowing that would plunge the post office into even worse financial straits,
Rate Commission Chairman George Omas suggested the post office and 60 or so
organizations that usually fight it out over rates to reach an agreement all
could accept.

In the end all but the American Postal Workers Union signed on to the deal,
which avoided months of hearings and arguments before the agency and
permitted the rapid rate decision.

The union, which represents workers who sort mail, argued that the rate
increases offered giant mailers discounts for presorting mail that exceed
the amount the Postal Service would save by not doing that work.

The post office responded the contention was fallacious, ``based on
speculation regarding postal revenues, finances and capital investment
plans.''

Organizations that would benefit from the discounts defended them. ``The
settlement rates are well within lawful limits,'' argued a group including
the Association for Postal Commerce, the Mailing and Fulfillment Service
Association and the Recording Industry Association of America.

While many that normally oppose rate increases accepted this one, it was not
always cheerfully.

Longtime rival United Parcel Service said that while it ``could find fault
with a number of the rates set forth in the settlement,'' it joined in the
agreement to help the post office ``respond to recent extraordinary events
and return to financial stability.''

One group of businesses commented that if the case had been fully argued,
its members would have fought for different rates.

``The settlement agreement represents, we believe, the best result that is
possible to achieve under current circumstances,'' said the group, which
included the Alliance of Nonprofit Mailers, AOL Time Warner, Coalition of
Religious Associations, Magazine Publishers of America and the National
Newspaper Association.

``However,'' the group added, ``the circumstances themselves - the need for
so much additional revenue so soon after the last two rate increases, based
on estimates developed prior to Sept. 11, 2001 - reflect poorly on the
Postal Service.''

In addition to the 37-cent rate for the first ounce of first-class mail,
other increases requested by the post office include:

Increase the postcard rate 2 cents to 23 cents.

A 1-pound priority mail item would rise 35 cents to $3.85.

Increases in parcel post, with a 5-pount item costing $4.19 to $7.25 now,
depending on distance, would rise to $5.03 to $9.43.

A half-pound Express Mail item would jump $1.20 to $13.65.

Certified mail would increase 20 cents to $2.30.

Insurance charges would go up for most mail, depending on amount of
insurance, but would be reduced for Express Mail.

The charge for a return receipt would go up 25 cents to $1.75.

I agree with you, Mike!!

Loose Change is my great highlight. BA just missed my top 5.

Dave,
What might be happening is EAC is looking at the wrong disc
player/device.
Near the top-left, [on my version anyways] there is a select box with a
dropdown list that includes all your CD drives [I have a regular
CDReader and a CWWriter]. There is 2 in my list.

Evil Jules Upon the Sea

Being a RustFest virgin and all, I was planning on
visiting Threadgill's within the next few days and
talking to management folks about being able to
have...I'm guessing 16 to 20 human beings...sort of be
able to sit together in close proximity, either at the
same table or the same group of tables. Ideally,
it'll be this glorious spring day and we could all sit
outside at the lawn tables.

How have other RustFest gatherings been put together
at restaurants?....how do you congregate if you
haven't met each other in person?....do we all just
have that certain look about us?....I would assume
Neil-related clothing would be a giveaway....maybe I
could bring an album cover and set it on the table as
sort of a flag....whaddayall think?

Judy and I are still up for it...we were thinkin'
about showing up at about 5:30 or 6:00 before the 8:00
show. By the way, after talkin' it over, we're
leaving our kids with some friends for the
evening...and I'm hopin' ol' Neil will someday play us
another glorious solo acoustic show.

Take care, Charlie

I guarantee you Neil looks at his mail. It might take him awhile to get to
it but he does. I refuse to divulge my knowledge concerning this but Neil's
a fantastic human being with a heart of gold (we all know that!).

After we saw Neil and Crazy Horse in Chicago in Fall of 1986, I figured the
next album was going to be great. And I was ready for a great Crazy Horse
album, too. Here's what I heard that night and thought was coming:

Too Lonely - simple but fun
Eldorado Town - couldn't hear the lyrics well in that barn that is/was the
Horizon, but the riff sounded great
Inca Queen - this blew me away live
Around the World - I think maybe this was played, I remember there being
another new rocker.
Mideast Vacation
Long Walk Home - a great one/two punch, intriguing lyrics
Prisoners of Rock n Roll - this was a great closer - a rededication, I thought

So there we had in 7 songs the beginnings of a great album. Add a couple
more great tunes and you have a classic, but when Life came out I was
somewhat underwhelmed. Why?

Studio tinkering messed up good songs - like others have said. I didn't
like the middle section of Around the World. I didn't need the bombs in
Long Walk Home - more subtle in concert in 1986, though they included the
bomb sounds in 1987. I also didn't like the monkey sounds in Inca Queen.

Ultimately, what did in Life for me was that the song order didn't flow
well. Prisoners is an opener or a closer and sounded out of place in the
middle. We lost Eldorado Town and gained one good rocker (Crying Eyes) and
2 slow tunes. With the ballads on the end the album ended with a big bag
of downers. The two songs weren't bad, as such, but they didn't sound good
on the end, and they were only good not great songs.

When I recorded my albums to tape in the late 80's I broke up Life to use
as filler for among other things the superstars in concert radio broadcast.
Recorded during the same tour, the show didn't include any of the new
songs, so it made sense to me to put live sounding Life tracks there.

I've got it on CD now, but I do wish it had been done differently. Not
bad, just fumbled, IMHO. Maybe it should have been done as a live album
like Time Fades Away. Oh well ...

o {{CSNY singles from this period...}}
o Ohio
o Find The Cost Of Freedom

I'm still not sure about adding tracks onto the album polls. Ohio is
gonna claim a lot of votes from the real Deja Vu tracks which kind of
spoils the poll for me a little.

Just my 2 penneth.

Now, Mira, you know I ain't no skerty cat. I was born trying to take the bull
on by the horns
That's what you call respect for all the Young ladies attending the Neil Ball
here at Rust World and I doubt they rarely change partners, you know? They
stay tried and true to you know who!!! I respect and admire all of the NY
Fillies. Now, we may not play English Cricket to a tea...but guaranteed we'll
beat anybody who takes us on a Crazy Horse race...and we need no Western
saddle nor English saddle cuz us Rust Women, we ride 'em bareback!!!!

Here's a little Warren Zevon for 'ya, Mira...
I make a dirty little religion out of lovin'
I'll make a dirty little convert out of you
I make a dirty little religion out of lovin'
It's dirty little religion, hallelujah

I like to think I've earned my reputation
For rushing in where angels fear to tread
I'll take you home to meet the congregation
We'll all get together in my tent

Dirty little acolyte
Dirty little one
You'll learn the fundamentals of desire
Can get a witness
To my testament?
Can I get an amen from the choir?
