WFMU Music Fair is back!

[skinnytie]

Hi, gang. The WFMU Music Fair is being held Friday-Sunday, Nov. 4-6 (it really snuck up on me this year, it's usually held at the end of November!). Anyone in the NY area besides myself going to go to it? More info on it can be had the WFMU website, www.wfmu.org. I believe it will be held at the Metropolitan Pavilion just like it was last year, on West 18th St. between 6th and 7th Avenues. I'll most likely be going Friday evening and Saturday, just like last year. Anyone care to make an NWOutpost event out of it?

I wish I could go - I went to every one when I lived in Brooklyn and emptied my wallet every time. I hope I'm able to go down for the spring version.

It's always held the first weekend of November, and I go every year.

I'm going to TRY to make it, as my life is extremely hectic right now. I'm writing for two publications and modeling again, plus I'm in the process of moving.

I'm going to shoot for Sunday, to me that's the coolest day to go because I love Bill Kelly's Teenage Wasteland show and he's there live.

It sucks that Glen Jones doesn't do his show at the record fairs anymore.

Does anyone know about the WMFU movie they are supposed to make?

Hey Skinny, you paying to go to the early session Friday? I might be up for that.

As we previously discussed i will be in attendance. Need to hold John DeBello's feet to the fire concerning that live at ?CBGBs tape that he promised last year.

I'll be there Friday night; if you want to hook up to get in with the early birds, let me know and I'll see if I can get out of work early. I'm also planning to be there Saturday.

NWO-WFMU Music Fair Convocation #2 occurred last night, with Skinnytie, Blr and Schwenko in attendance.
Some fine acquistions were scored by all.
Skinntie picked up a Penetration CD, as well as a Nick Garvey cdr (MFV!!! packaging and all!!).
Blir found a promotional 2CD IRS sampler-amazing! This contained late 70s, early 80s tracks, including Oingo Boingo, Wayne County, Klark Kent and John Cale etc. As well as the Gleaming Spires LP, and Joy Division LWTUA 12 inch.
Schwenko bought a double album, remastered Pearls Before Swine E.S.P. disk CD.
The fair continues this weekend.
Thanks guys!

Yeah, I want a full report from Waukena, Marvy, Mare_Idol and anyone who might be attending. Fair warning though that it is indeed uber-heavy on vinyl and somewhat light on CDs...er, after WE left. [:D]

Here's that track listing on the IRS comp, some common, some not so...

1 - The Police - Nothing Achieving (i think it must be the b-side to the rare Fallout single)
2 - The Go-Go's - We Got The Beat
3 - Wayne County & The Electric Chairs - Thunder
4 - Wazmo Nariz - Checking Out The Checkout Girl
5 - Root Boy Slim - Dare To Be Fat
6 - Skafish - Sign Of The Cross [live]
7 - John Cale - Jack The Ripper
8 - Oingo Boingo - Only A Lad (original EP version)
9 - Klark Kent - Don't Care
10 - The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love
11 - The English Beat - Whine & Grine / Stand Down Margaret
12 - Cramps - Goo Goo Muck
13 - Magazine - About The Weather
14 - Wall Of Voodoo - Mexican Radio
15 - The Alarm - The Stand
16 - R.E.M. - Superman
17 - Doctor & The Medics - Spirit In The Sky
18 - Lords Of The New Church - Like A Virgin
19 - Timbuk 3 - The Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades
20 - Fine Young Cannibals - Johnny Come Home
21 - Caterwaul - The Sheep's A Wolf
22 - Concrete Blonde - It'll Chew You Up And Spit You Out

Another 2CD comp Tales from the Australian Underground 1976-1989 is VERY cool too. Lots of Radio Birdman, Santis, Victims, Riptides, Psycho Surgeons, Leftovers, La Femme, Scientists, Numbers, Fun things, Tactics, Lipstick Killers, and on and on and on... [:p]

OMG, I left off the Flirts' 10 Cents a Dance. I think everyone knows "Jukebox" but I completely forgot what great SoCal classics "On the Beach" and "We Just Want to Dance" were. Bitchin'! [:D]

Yesa it is... it's on the "Message in a Box" 4CD compilation.

[MARV]

I think I'm going to be able to make it on Sunday if anyone wants to meet up. E-mail me. Sorry I missed you guys last night [:(]

Along with my acquisitions that Schwenko mentioned, I also got "After the Snow" (with the bonus tracks) by Modern English and the "Labyrinth" soundtrack that featured Bowie.
I also went back Saturday (sorry, guys), and got the following CD's:
"The Best of the Art of Noise" with the blue cover
"The Crossing" by Big Country (with the bonus tracks)
"Revolution Now" by Captain Sensible
"Like This" by the db's (but purchased for someone else)
"Get Out and Walk" by the Farmer's Boys (another MFV Obscure 80's release)
"Bitter Sweet" by King
"World Outside" by the Psychedelic Furs
I think a lot of the vendors still weren't totally set up when we had gotten there, so it was worth the second trip.
It was great to see you both again, Blir and Schwenko; thanks for everything! Same time next year, I hope! As for the rest of you out there, hope you can meet up with us next time, but if you do go this time around, good luck with your searches!

What is the significance of "blue cover"?
Presumably it contains something other than the "other" color cover[?]

There are two different versions of the Art of Noise "best of" title, one with a blue cover that is sadly out of print, and one with a red cover that is readily available. The one with the blue cover has remixes, extended versions, and a different track listing than the one with the red cover. For instance, the song "Legs" appears on the blue cover edition as a remix entitled "Legacy", while the song is nowhere to be found in any version on the red cover edition.

Is it a double cd-album?

[skinnytie]

No, both of them are single CD's, they just differ.

oh, and as an aside, my copy of "After the Snow" that I bought does not feature that album at all! Instead, the music is from a CD by various artists called "Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration". This CD does not look like a CD-R or anything like that, so I inquired with 4 AD (the label that released this copy of "After the Snow") about it. Hopefully I can exchange it.
