Hey all,
I have nothing to say other than that I enjoyed reading all of these
messages while eating my Cabo Combo from Rubio's Taco Shop. If you're
not in San Diego, then you'll just have to dream of eating a fish taco
this joke 'cause it ain't gonna happen in your reality. Anyone else
looking forward to the new Imperial Teen album as much as me?
Love & kiss us,
Adam

Hey Adam! PLEASE give me an update on Jason Falkner's
new album. The webpage states it's due out Jan 1998 ???
Should that be Jan 1999 ??? I'm dying to hear what
you've already gotten a glimpse of...

to "someone who should know"...don't get me started. you obviously
don't. and adam, out of respect to this website, the drags, and all else
involved, that is all i will say. this is not a site of HATE.
rory - try Super Deluxe, Posies, (tho' neither are as heavy as ID, but
still beautiful pop) try Silver Jet, Sparkler, Summercamp, Sloan,
hopefully someday soon in Ireland, but also to anyone else reading in
the states, look for Skycycle, also try David Garza for that 'dose of
retro' ala t-rex, try a bit of Self, a dash of Failure and you just
might find yourself pleasantly rocking. there are many more, tune in
later. Roger touring Japan with Beck AND working on remixes for Air?!?
or so a little bird once said. Joe still playing with Gracie, and Icky
putting together his new thang! (Roger and Dover - 'dear friends'? keep
dreaming you DON'T know) ok, that's all i promise.

I think it would be a fantastic idea if Roger Manning would give Jason
Falkner a call and see about working together again. After listening to
their efforts apart from Jellyfish, I decided that they are the true
talents from the band and should work together again. If they got Tim
Smith back in the groove and find a drummer they all agreed upon ...
that would be a fantastic band. Roger, I realize Beck gives you a decent
payday, but you're far too talented to be playing behind the scenes.
Step up and be a bandleader! Make the effort! It's only a phone call
away. Life is too short to let past animosities or mis-understandings
get in the way. I know if you put forth the effort, your star will burn
brighter. Jesus, if I keep it up, people will think I'm Tony Robbins.
But, I think Roger Manning is a great talent and I'd like to see more of
his music. Yep. I need my Roger Manning fix. For those who haven't heard
it yet, Jason Falkner's previous album is probably the best thing I
heard last year. I know it was. I wish I didn't wait so long to buy it.
After listening to it, you'll understand why it seems natural that Roger
and Jason are a good fit. Ok ... now I'm rambling.
All I wish for is for Roger to be more prolific. Whether it's with Jason
or with Tim Smith or a solo effort or whatever. You got a fan.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOWDEE-HO,DRAGSTERS!!! (no,it's not Mr. Hankey, it's your
beloved ICKARUS, back from the silicon grave!) I must appologize for the
abnormally long gap in communication to y'all. I really have no excuse
to tell you. I've actually been busy WORKING as of late. No, not working
on music like I should be,(although I have been brewing up a little
concoction of my own, more on that later!) no, sadly I had to go back to
"working for the man". It sucks, but I.D. ain't payin' the bills any
more, so...I'm takin' what they're givin'. At least my job isn't too
horrid. I'm working for a man named Patrick Tatopoulos. You may
recognize his name if you saw the recent blockbuster/flop "GODZILLA". He
is the guy who actually designed & fabricated the three-dimensional (as
opposed to the computer-generated one) creature for the film. I myself
haven't seen it yet (go figure!), mainly because I heard it was such a
piece of crap! Oh well! What's a couple of hundreds of millions down the
drain?! That's "Hollywood" as they say! The creature they created here
is actually kind of cool lokking when you can see it up close, not
covered by fog & sheets of computer-generated rain. Anyway, so, I work
there. "It's a livink!" But enough about ME. I s'pose by now everyone
interested has read my posting regarding MY opinion of "WHAT REALLY
HAPPENED"-Yes? If it freaked anyone out-terribly sorry, chaps! I simply
had to get that off my chest. It's a good thing I did, because I feel a
whole lot better! The past is "behind me" as they say. Time to move on.
Recently, someone posted that they liked the band "the Tories"-funny
thing, that; I was contacted by some of their people the other day about
possibly joining their band. Don't get all worked up into a froth just
yet, though! I still haven't heard their music (save for a show of
their's I caught some time last year at the Troubador- they were good as
I remember, though they sounded almost painfully similar to a certain
water-dwelling, gelatinous, sugary-sweet pop band (JELLYFISH,
O.K.,EINSTEIN?!)-almost to the point of being a tribute to them (sans
all the bells & whistles-literally!)- (which is probably why all you
Jelly-heads like'em so much!). I seem to recall thinking they were
alright, though a tad on the precocious side ( aw, hell-I thought
JELLYFISH were precocious - they just pulled it off so amazingly, I
didn't mind!)- but they were good, so...WHO KNOWS?! I just (briefly)
hung out with Mr.Roger the other day. He's doing well. I trust by now
you've all heard about the Beck tour? Lucky bastard! He digs it! Shit!
Who wouldn't? Anyway... I have to go, suddenly. Until next time, my
pretty-pretties...Buh-BYE! -Love, ICKY.

It is all as i expected (and feared)... our beloved Icky working for the
man again. Try not to let him get you down.
Also, although i happily bought the Tories album, i grew really tired of
it after about 5 listens. "Almost a tribute to Jellyfish" is
probably an appropriate term. They were good... real good. But i just
can't seem to get excited about them.
I'm also working on getting a copy of "Why Cats Paint", so i can OWN
"Breakfast". Call me obsessed. Anybody else have this book?
Also, ICKY... I wrote the title track to our upcoming album by
working with a drum loop of the beginning of "Spyder". We're not using
the loop on the reord, obviously and we've changed the song a lot.
But that beefy drum sound inspired me to write one of my favorite songs!
And it sounds nothing like Spyder, don't worry...

Yo Ickster,
Nice to hear yer not dead man, totally sux about the job, but what
can you do huh? Im still convinced that youre truly destined for true
superstardom, this is just a small bump in the road. Adam, ill have
to agree with you about the tories, i think i got a little too worked
up over them when i first heard the sound clips, i ran out, bought the
album, gave it quite a few listens and like you said, tires of it
quickly:( Alas I.D.LUV is once again left without anything new and
exciting to hear, i suppose ill just sit and wait for my Jellyfish
greatest hits disc to get here from Japan......Ive also been turning
back to the Drag album which ive so stupidly put aside too long and was
reminded of oh so too many memories, good ones though:) Well thatz it
4 now, once again Icky thanx for keepin in touch dont be a stranger,
we luv ya here (well the ones that matter anyway) write often P.S.
has anyone heard from Satomi???? till next time dragsters, I.D. IZ DA
ONLY 1!!!:)

hey adam....i have 'why cats paint.' it's a really neat book. it made
'breakfast' my fave song on the album, closely followed up by
'cross-eyed'. same here with the tories...i listened to it under the
advice - 'you like all that brit-pop, right? you'll like this' and it
did nothing for me, i got rid of it. it would be nice to see everyone's
fave drummer icky show up playing somewhere, huh? great the roger's
doing stuff, and joe is still plugging along too, i guess. (sigh) i miss
the drags. some interesting stuff out tho' that is new that some other
dragaholics might dig....the new elliot smith is good. so very well
produced. VERY jellyfishy! it was like they gave elliot 3 billion
dollars to make a record and he got the london philharmonic to work with
him. it sounds nice, tho.' and remy zero, i'm trying to make up my mind
with that one...i'm not sure if it's just the hype machine at work.
