Ugh. Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but I am not
a fan of this guy.
Maybe it's something that you have to see live to really
appreciate,
like KISS. I dunno. Heard him on the Hours of Slack
of late, and fast
forwarded right past it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From: "Rev. Ivan Stang" <stang@subgeniusNOSPUM.com>
I hope you appreciate how we made it possible to fast-forward
on those.
We didn't have to.
There is a visual element that is a big part of Little
Fyodor -- HIS
FACE. Also, Fyodor's sense of fucked-up-nerd timing
is exquisite; just
his prolonged looks of anxiety get laughs, and you miss
that in
recordings. I first encountered him and Babuska live,
in Denver. I sat
there with my lower jaw all the way down to the floor.
It ws so...
PURE.
Fyodor urges me to keep playing his stuff, because he's
been getting
gigs in places like Madison, WI, entirely because of
being heard not
seen on Hour of Slack there.
When Onan first saw Little Fyodor, tears literally came
to his eyes, so
completely did Fyodor fill the void left by DEVO and
others. Artemia
Salina, upon downloading just the crappy live MP3s of
Fyodor at X-Day
from a.b.s., decided to put him in the category with
Captain Beefheart,
which is one of the highest categories there is, if
you're a fucked up
weirdo, or tired of the same old shit. Which most people
aren't really.
Offstage, Fyodor and Babushka are so different from
onstage that for
the first day she was around, I had no inkling that
the pretty hippie
gal I had been talking to was the same person as the
pinched, bristling
person I'd see as Babushka. Also, I think Babushka's
song "Why Are
Humans So Fucked Up" is one of the all time greatest
of all great songs
ever.
I've never seen KISS although I know which rock band
you're talking
about, the guys with makeup that came after Alice Cooper.
I am not sre
that I know a single KISS song. I'm not trying to be
a snob, I'm just
saying, that's how far from pop music I've been my whole
life. Except
when I was driving kids to high school in the early
90s. Then I was up
on the groovy new children's bands and songs like that
one, "Can't Find
the Butter, Man".
That's http://www.littlefyodor.com
and he just came out with a PROFESSIONALLY recorded
album from XX-Day,
when we had a professional recordist there (Regis Sedlock).

Hey, I've been listening to the HOS off the net and
burning it to a CD
since they were in the 700's. I appreciate every one.
GIves me
something to listen to on those long walks to work every
day. Two
quick questions, though. Is anything being planned big
of #1000? And
at the end of #954 I think it was, you mentioned something
about the
Austin offices of the COSG heading somewhere else, Gerogia
I think it
was (not sure...'frop at the time, you know how it is.)
What happened
there, if you don't mind me asking? COSG was one of
the few things
that Texas had going for it...now it's a Slackless Wasteland
of
immigrants and executed retards with a JFK museum. Oh,
and A-Rod's
there too.

I just didn't have the energy to refute Mr. Casino's
comments on Little
Fyodor the other night when I read them, so I'll take
the opportunity to
do so now. I honestly think that Little Fyodor is a
brilliant performer
and musician. I'm taking into account the difficulties
of doing a live
performance and look forward to purchasing several of
his CDs from
http://www.littlefyodor.com when I get the free cash.
Some of my favorite tracks from the abs posts are:
Everybody's Fucking
I Wanna be "Bob"
Squirrels (this is my absolute favorite. If you could
listen to a
squirrel's mind, then that song would HAVE
to be what
it would sound like)

This is what I had suspected, and confirms my previous
assertion that they
are brilliant performers.

And when it comes to KISS, let me tell you, it's the
oddest thing
about that band. Listen to their songs, hear them on
the radio, it
sucks. I mean, "Rock and Roll All Night and Party
Every Day"...what
the hell is that?
But if you see them live...my GOD, it is the spectacle
to end all
spectacles, it is a fucking SIGHT. Fireworks every thirty
seconds, men
flying through the air and spitting blood on people,
women flashing
the Big Screen, 50 FOOT TALL TITS, STANG! 50 FOOT TALL
TITS!
Also, Gene Simmons is a latent SubGenius if I've ever
seen one. Blood
spitting aside, the man is extremely well spoken and
I think he
learned his selling techniques from "Bob"
himself. That bastard pimped
out KISS to so many products and made so much cash off
it that the
mind recoils in horror.
