This is fascinating stuff, although I find it hard to decipher what is true/serious and what is not.I found it as I was looking at their dislike of YouTube as an outlet for their work. http://www.ubuprojex.net/protocols.html#utube Check out 'Leaving the tour' for example! Having seen Pere Ubu live a few times, David Thomas is certainly an odd character. One year at the Edinburgh festival he had Jackie Leven and Linda Thompson with him on stage. His behaviour towards the latter was positively menacing which I found quite disturbing given that she had given up singing due to some kind of stage fright! Anyway an interesting basis for a discussion about bootlegs and the artists' right in suppressing such things? | ||

He is a strange man and full-time contrarian. One probably couldn't get away with calling him Crocus Behemoth anymore, but it sounds like he still lives up to that name. Menacing poor Linda Thompson! Is he still a Jehovah's Witness? | ||

If its true they are having a laaaaarrrrffffffff! Its fu*kin ridiculous. Who gives a damn, if that's all they gotta worry about, the world is a safe place, no problems there. Oh dear oh dear.  I think having kids has changed me, I'd have loved this hit 20 years ago. | ||

Hey, this reminds me, I recently came across something similar (the gig rider) for Iggy and the Stooges. It's pretty hilarious: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1004061iggypop1.html It's really long, but entertaining. What's really funny about this stuff is that it reminds me how totally far down the scale I am. For me it's like, "that would really be nice if one of the 4 electrical outlets on the stage actually had power running to it, and could I get a soda for half price?" | ||

Has anyone heard the new record, "Why I Hate Women"? I think it's out. I'd be curious to get an opinion. I'm a big fan, but not necessarily a buy-every-record fan. Actually, "Cloudland" was the last recording I loved unconditionally and that was - what? - '89. Maybe I'm not that big of a fan after all. | ||

The Sydney Morning Herald reprinted some of that yesterday Jeff. Really funny stuff. |
