Glenn Tilbrook was the guitar player from Squeeze.
I saw EC in Chicago during that tour. My Mom, bless her heart, bought me Armed Forces for my Birthday. I had talked my sister and brother-in-law into taking me (I bought the tickets - that's the only way they would go). My sister was a Shawn Phill...

- Marc-
Sorry I haven't gotten back with you. Busy holidays and then back for finals. Now were into 2nd semester, i feel like i can breathe...
What've i been listening to? Well after 8 years of working in record stores, my musical taste is pretty varied but here's a snapshot:
1. For a while in the nineties there was some pretty good indie rock including the first couple belle and sebastian lps, guided by voices (propellor, bee thousand, alien lanes) pavement, yo la tengo (i can hear..., fakebook, painful, electrapura) follow that trail to new zealand in the late eighties for the clean and the chills and david kilgour's solo stuff. Bill Fox. Teenage Fanclub. the Chamber strings
2. Reggae from the seventies: Lee Perry, Augustus Pablo, Gregory Isaacs, Johnny Clarke, Keith Hudson, Yabby you... the list goes on and on
3. Jazz from the fifties: Miles, Coltrane, Stan Getz, Horace Silver etc
4. From the eighties: like a lot of people on this site, I used to go see the vulgar boatmen when we lived in chicago, and still love their 3 records. Realize now that I overlooked the Jazz Butcher, and underrated New Order and the Smiths, although I still have trouble with Joy Division. The feelies record the good earth is one of my favs. Nikki Sudden's old band the jacobites first couple records sound like Keith Richards singing duets with himself--in a good way. Billy Bragg,
5. Lately: Fleet Foxes are interesting and different, I need to give the Bon Iver record another couple listens before I form an opinion on it...crystal stilts, beach house, Camera Obscura
6. Classic Rock: Early Fleetwood Mac rules!...up to and including Kiln House. Byrds, Gene Clark solo, Big Star, Left Bank, Love, Bert Jansch, Donovan, Incredible String Band, Tim Buckley, Fairport, eno's early pop stuff
7. Weird Stuff: Scott Walker, German prog rock (cluster, can popol vuh), ethiopian jazz, almost anything released on Portland's Mississippi records label, 20th century classical (Mahler, shostakovich, shoenberg)
I'm still collecting vinyl and have over 3000 lps, but also do CDs and MP3s.
Tara mostly tolerates my music and likes a lot of the more melodic stuff, she likes the new Duffy record.
Well, you asked. hows about you?

Maurice Bastian said… - yeah, must have missed Jay - I knew Paul was into the older rock and
roll stuff, but it sounds like that was after AC.
he's been out to LA twice, but we only had just a few minutes before and after one his shows. It was funny, 'cause I went by myself, and this wierd guy kept looking over at me. during the break, Dwight came over and said "I thought it was you!" Dan L was there also. most of Paul and me catching up has been through email, unfortunately. wish he lived closer - would be nice to just hang, party, play some fun songs again.
let's keep in touch - it's great hearing from everyone and trying to get
the old impaired brain cells working again :)

- Rbob - i have a feeling I forgot the story about the moniker ;) but that's a good
one. nice to hear about people's memories on here.
I haven't been back to West Lafayette in a long time - maybe '88/'89. when
the original group moved into DOA house - Griff Freeman, Michael Little, John Scheer, Steve Carr, Nick Reynolds and myself, our landlady said it would only
be for a couple of years as she had plans for the B&B in the works. wonder if
some of the old grafitti ever survived in the attic or in the basement. I miss that place. did you ever see it with the Jesus statue on the balcony ?
do I/ should I remember that Jay guy from Nashville ? name and pic sound
familiar, but the brain cells aint what they used to be. good to see you found
Tom and Tara - I haven't seen them in years.
all of it makes me wish we could have a big house party jam somewhere!

Will Holland said… - Pics, you have pics? Crazy. I forgot that I did the Lizard Kings before Jay! Everyone is on Facebook too--it's a good place to find people. The pictures of WCCR are priceless. I have to post my picture of the boyz of summer--Dirk, Maxy, Slappy and Happy. Good times, my brother. The revolution will not be televised.

- Tara Jean says hi. She's doing land use/economic forcast modeling for Parsons Brinkerhoff. Mostly Oregon DOT is her client. She works a lot. We have no kids. More money for buying records. I'm playing bass again for the first time in 20 years with another teacher in a folk/rock band. I'm trying to figure out how to put people as friends on this site, but not being a myspacer, i'm having some troubles...

suade99 said… - Mark: I cleared all three of you "Mitch" comments... sadly I don't have too many Mitch/Reaction shots up on the site. He really took me under his wing in a "rythmn section" sense... he was such an amazing beat keeper he made me sound better than I was 25 years ago. I believe you about the piano... that boy had "The Music" in him...

- Marc - just got an email from Mitch Straeffer the other day... he's one of the good ones! Plus my drumming and his bass playing during the "Reaction" days was super influential on me... I think fondly of that bassist du jour! -Mike "Suade" Newell

- Hey Marc,
Can't remember the last time I had contact with you. Tara and I are in Portland OR. We moved here from San Jose in 2000. I quit the record store and went back to school to become a high school math teacher (this is my third year). Tara works on land use planning/economic models. Things are good. How have you been?

Dan Lovall said… - Hey, Marc -
Good to hear from you! I had heard you were in Cincinnati from Paul. He played out here a couple of times and Dwight and I went to see him play. He gave me an email address for you but it was no good. How're things with you? I'm good - LA is a lot of fun, plus we're super busy with the kids. I heard from Will a while back and he sent me a scan of the Gumby Family picture.
Speaking of Joyce, have you heard from her at all?

I would gladly bury the hachet, I know Finn feels the same way. We've both tried unsuccessfully.
Come on, guys; bury the friggin' hatchet. We're all middle-aged, for cripes sakes.
