Band: Feedtime

[rickfeedtime]

I'm surprised noone has anything to say about Feedtime.

You dipshits may be due for a 12 page essay on the subject...

i qualify...better send me one if you do it...12 pages is probably 11 (sorry, 12) too many for most peoples taste...rf

aah...sorry....please accept my apology...youre the artist with the eye and ear with the anthology (well twelve pages is pretty big)...anyway i retract this outrageous claim...i dont qualify shit...but would ya still send me one anyhow if you happen to do it? there that feels better...i gotta learn to not go stompin' around the joint...

SERIOUSLY considering a road trip from Wisconsin to go see feedtime, and I'm not the type who usually does such things...

i know i mentioned something recently but ive refined it now

untype

w/best wishes (of course...)

I can't make it (under 21..) but feedtime has consistently been my favorite band since i stumbled on the self-titled years ago. I haven't heard anything quite like it before or since. sorely disappointed that i have to miss such an anachronistic show but I'm glad that feedtime is still out there in my lifetime. good luck, have fun, tear the place up, etc.

disappointed me to hear it too...i just dont get this twentyone stuff...anyway thanks

actually matey you sound a bit like me...i really hope that you get something either going on or to listen to that makes you go this is right...i cant know your life but i can hear something thats waiting on 21...many thanks for your comment and if you dont mind too much i'd recommend a youtube thing for ya...mayyors white jeep...the dance routine is simply spectacular and its a labour of love...later man (get to twentyone if you dont get dead would ya?)

One of my favorite bands ever, NOT CRAP, zero waffles. Welcome to the board, rick!

My girlfriend and I seriously want to get to that show next month, if it can be feasible.

I've heard bits and pieces here and there and have loved everything I was shown. I need to hunt down some of their records.

Rick, in the game of Crap or Not Crap something is either Crap or Not Crap, but if it isn't purely one or the other, waffles are in order.

So, Kenny Loggins is Crap, no waffles, and Feedtime is Not Crap, no waffles.

But someone like David Bowie is Not Crap, with waffles, since he released a lousy drum 'n' bass record and other less than stellar material that pales in comparison to albums like Heroes and Hunky Dory.

Salut!

sheesh...i mean thanks 'n all blue...it sounds too complicated...do you think biscuits might be easier for me to get a handle on?

[Luzwei]

do you think biscuits might be easier for me to get a handle on?

If we share a glass of milk, please don't double dip it. otherwise, you're good.

NC ON FEEDTIME!

ZERO BISCUITS!

its getting tough...some people say have biscuits and others...one an experienced feedtimer...says ZERO on biscuits...what the hell are they anyhow?...any answers need to be simple ie less than four words

& whats NC?

i'm flying real stupid here, sorry for that

[rickfeedtime]

What Lu said.

oh...right then

[rickfeedtime]

i know nothing about this band, other than the fact that i found one of thier LP's for a friend. tell me more...

dont worry that bone...take a listen to the mayyors...theyre pretty fine

[rickfeedtime]

great band if a mite inconsistent to my ears.

far and away, shovel is the best album.

cooper-s is a lot of fun.

I can't believe robert christgau actually reviewed them. He gave Shovel an A-.

oh well...robert might have been having a bad day...what can you do?...best for now & later too...rick

[rickfeedtime]

This is a great band. thanks.

thank you for saying so...best...rf

[rickfeedtime]

god, "curtains" gives me chills.

best song about divorce ever.

absolutely.

the vox on "nobody's fault but mine", also.
and the guitars on "baby baby"
and al's wail on "mother".

christ what a great album. i'm going to put it on RIGHT NOW.

the vox on nobodys fault was such a special attitude of the people there at the time...a pickup roller choir so to say...sean casey (he looked after the internal musical integrity of f from time to time) and dave boyne (from the missing links)

they went good

you don't have those in OZ? What about flapjacks?

Ace mentioned to me before that she got some cool live X stuff from you, right on. If the San Fran gig is a success, will you play some more? How about one of these prf bbq things?

Best,

More than anything, it comes down to heavy Iggy/Stooges worship.

Are there any Australians on these forums who can explain why that band resonated so strongly in your land? Besides the obvious (they were one of the greatest rock bands ever)?
What about Iggy in particular seems to touch such a nerve with your people? I've always wondered.

my take on this:

1/ feedtime were not big stooge/iggy fans. i saw the band lots & they never played any stooges covers ever. in fact when they were asked to do a track for that comp they didn't even know any stooges songs & had to learn 'ann' off a borrowed lp. they asked the people putting it out which track nobody else wanted to do thats why they chose to do 'ann'.

2/ the main purveyors of stooge/iggy mythology in aus were the 'radio birdman' crew. or "the local chapter of the hitler youth" as chris bailey from the 'the saints' once refered to their followers. those bands did stooges covers & talked about them in interviews etc. there were a lot of 'birdman' copycat bands in the 80's. these detroit worshippers got a lot of credo at the time, but most of that stuff doesn't stand the test of time. unlike the far less popular bands at the time like 'feedtime'

3/ australia has a small population (even smaller back then) the loud mouth 'detroit bands' talked themselves & their influences up way beyond any real popularity in the wider music loving population thusly distorting outsiders perception of their importance here.

4/ iggy's only breakthrough in aus was with the 'new values' lp when the 'i'm bored' & 5'1" singles which got some mainstream radio airplay. mainly off the back of a legendary iggy performance on a sunday night prime time 'pop' music t.v. show. when he appeared completely off his head on coke or something & went ape shit while miming to 'i'm bored' in front of a live audience of teen age girls. people who'd never heard of him before were talking about it the next day. scandalous!

p.s 'radio birdman' & a couple of the aus 'detroit' bands are pretty good, but nowhere as original as 'feedtime' 'saints' 'fungus brains' venom p stinger' 'x' or a bunch of other more little bands that were around at that time.

care to tell me who youre known as?
