Since "Hello" was her first experience and she was in industry "virgin"... and now, with "Haunted," she's "not a virgin anymore"? These songs have been waking me up at night!

Don't get me wrong, it's good, but is it really great, mind-blowing, or the like? I noticed a few posts the other day: doesn't track 3 sound like so-and-so? Yeah, and track 7 sounds like such-and-such. Should *all* the tracks sound like "Poe"? I can definately hear the Poe I came to know from the "Hello" album and I can hear the influence of her last tour, but as a whole, there's no real signature sound. I remember when I was on my way to the first time she came to Providence. I hadn't even heard the album but my friends threw me in the car and said, "you're coming to a concert". "Oh," I replied. "Who is it?" They said, "Poe". I hadn't heard of her and asked what she was like. They had a hard time explaining her and her sound. Well, she's kinda like this band, well not really. Maybe a mix of, no... I know she also has a rep to be "on the fringe" but I can't say I'm comfortable with the multi-media/voice-over aspect. The album is long and I feel like these elements only make it longer. they don't serve to reaveal anything that the songs don't and they're a bit distracting. I keep listening wanting to uncover the secret of the dialogue. I can't find anything. I'm wondering if she isn't try to serve too many masters. There's the connections to HOL and it sounds like she's also representing some issues [resolved or otherwise] about her father's passing as well. Five years is a long time for a creative person to go without getting something produced and I can't help wondering if it wasn't too difficult to satisfy her own sense of representing her past 5 years and keeping a tight theme across the track list. Don't get me wrong. Like I said the album *is* good. First off I can see the concerts for this album being incredible. Like the difference between the first album and her live performances I think there's going to be a great, raw engery at the shows that's reserved only for the shows. For that, I can't wait. Haunted: this song is just that, haunting. The do a wonderful job of capturing the sense of being hounded by our past. I'm reminded of Robert Johnson's "Hell Hounds On My Trail". There's a wonerful emotional response to the falsetto "voices that carry" us into the refrain: "And I'm haunted" followed by varous qualifications and examples; "by the promises I've made and others I have broken". Control: Well, maybe I'm just jaded because I'm familiar with this one from her last tour, but puting that aside I like this one. It's a wonderful song and it is good to hear where she took it. There's a connection to the "Hello" album. You know she wrote this song back then but the growth of the past few years is also evident. It's a nice progression. Lemon Meringue: I just love this song. I can't wait to hear this one in concert. There's a twist on the "Lemon" theme commonly found in modern rock music. U2 had their take on lemons. Led Zepplin, as well. Poe's verson avoides the blatent (perhaps male-ego) sexuality pouring from those songs and brings it back to a more subtle level like that of the early Delta Blues artist. Charlie Patton, Son House, and even more, the pre-war recordings of "popular" artists like Tampa Red. When a blue singer sang about a "cadilac car" and how it "rides", well.. pretty obvious to us now, hind sight is 20/20, but for the white people of the day the inuedo was too subtle. (Though the racial boarder of the time also left the subterfuge on the side of the white audience, the black audience knowing the meaning full well). "Lemon Meringue" isn't as harsh and blatent as U2's or Zepplin's sexuality. It is "sweater" though it hides as much as the blues artists did in their lyrics. There are a lot of other good points about the album. I guess I was just hoping it would be a little tighter is all. Maybe *too* much time to think about it in post-production. - -thomas ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 09:15:01 -0700 (PDT) From: "moon(*hild" Subject: Re: new album: those who are waiting may not want to read this but that sound she has of so many other sounds is perfect because it can't be described because that is just the way poe is. the fact that its so undefinate is what actually makes it the definate sound of poe. i think that makes sense... oh well. - -Lindsay On Fri, 11 Aug 2000 08:50:33 -0700 (PDT), Ricky wrote: > > > So, [hate to burst the bubble...], am I the only one here who's not > fanatically impressed with the new album?

Not one I'd thought of. I'll have to listen again (and I will listen again) with that in mind. See what turns up. It may very well be that I'm trying to place her work into a certain expectation I've had and which has been able to grow unchecked over the past five years. I don't think so, but then, I'd be the last to know...

Or course, Tampa was known for being "sassy". Poe definately has that going on in the album too. Not A Virgin", etc. He was also more widely recorded rather than being, primarily, a juke-house player like the others who would sometimes be hired to play for white parties. Have you heard any of Mance Lipscomb's recordings from the 60's? He'll often tell a story or two between tracks. He explains at one point how he had to learn to play the songs two different ways. One way for the his community and a less gritty way for the white community. If you haven't, I highly recomend picking something up. Maybe "Live at the Cabal". He was a share cropper his whole life and got discovered quit by accident when someone was searching for a completely different blues artist who had already passed away. I think he was in his 70's at the time and he'd played every weekend for nearly his whole life.

I have transcribed the lyrics to the following tracks: Haunted Control Terrified Heart If anyone else wants to help me out I'm trying to get all the lyrics written down to to help build a web site. The very aincent website "Angels Calling" was once run by me, and will eventually be relocated onto a new web page, but I'm trying to get more of the lyrics. I lost the e-mail with the lyrics to "Walk The Walk" from a while back, so that would be a good start for me. Also on the website I'm going to include some RealAudio samples of a few of the rare poe tracks from a few singles out there, including the band versions of "Hello" and "Angry Johnny", remixes of "Trigger Happy Jack", the version of "Control" from "Apocalypse", the song "How Long", and the song "Padre Fear" which was released as a b-side on the "Trigger Happy" 5" single. Another semi-rarity out there is that a few people got ahold of a CD from some magazine company which included the RADIO EDIT of "Haunted" - if anyone could let me know where to find that it would be cool. Even cooler would be to find a very very very rare (but Poe has admitted to it existing) STUDIO VERSION of "How Long". She said she recorded it in Matt Sorum's personal studio. hmm... do I smell a potential b-side for whenever a single is released??? ~jason - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This is how it feels to breathe the summer air To feel the sand between my toes and love inside the air All those things you taught me to fear I've got them in my garden now and you're not welcome here Come a little bit closer Let me look at you I gave you the benefit of the doubt it's true But keep in my my darling Not every saint is a fool - -POE from "Control" ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 15:26:27 -0700 (PDT) From: Ricky Subject: NPR: Re: new album: those who are waiting may not want to read this I'm all for proper spelling but I'm also in favor of getting over miniscule over-sights.

HOL SPOILERS!! WARNING: HOL SPOILERS!!! Tread with caution if you haven't read HOL yet, and you don't want anything spoiled, or you are saving all surprises of the album for Sept. 19th. OK, I've been sitting here analyzing the lyrics for "Not A Virgin" trying to figure out the song, cause I know she's not referring to sex, I think. I know someone earlier mentioned about not being a virgin to the record industry, but what I think is that she's referring to something that we all know the album is centered around. Yes, that's right, House of Leaves. I think it's quite possible that our lovely Poe is referring to the Navidson Report from the novel. Think of Poe as being in the position of Karen Nadivson when you listen to the lyrics. When she says: "I've been taken" <--Taken to the house? Taken to the edge of the unknown, and her fear "I've been hung up" <--Torn over either to leave Navy or wait for him to return from the hallway. "I get down and start it over again" <--She did go into a depression like state for a bit, but did recover. "I've been open" <--Her life has been told in a film! "and I've been closed like a book" <--People have developed there opinions of her from the Navidson report and not from actually meeting her. "and burned down like a written sin" <--In a few places in HOL she was quite literally attacked for her actions, or lack of, and the book was quite literally burned by Navy. All of these are experiences that could have quite an influence on you if you don't have the knowledge of what to do, but now she has experienced them, and now she knows what to expect, she's no longer a Virgin. I kind of came to this conclusion after looking at the lyrics on the next track, "Hey Pretty". (as well as the re-occurring 'you get the gist of the song now?' lyric" Think as if she is singing both songs to the same person. In "Not A Virgin" she says she has to get it out before they begin. Think of the "Beginning" as the ride through her world (or mind) in "Hey Pretty" The HOL reference is more obvious in this track. "I see a stairway so I follow it down into the belly of a whale where my secrets echo all around....." "well I've got a mind full of wicked designs I've got a non-stop-whole in my head-imagination I can't forget I am a sole architect I built the shadows here I built the growl in the voice I fear" In HOL MZD talks about how the hallway COULD be nothing more then a manifestation of the occupants state of mind. In these lyrics she is stating on how SHE built the hallway, SHE built the shadows, SHE built/created the growl. (Which makes me think I have to re-read the book, are there any clues that it WAS KAREN'S mind that created the hallway??????) I don't know, this is my interpretation....... Questions? Comments? Flames? BTW: Anyone else notice on the front cover of HOL (NOT the dusk cover) that there are some Edgar Allen POE stamps in the collage?? :) - - "Light, in the absence of eyes, illuminates NOTHING" --Trevor Goodchild "Aeon Flux" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 22:22:18 -0400 From: "sp00k@poe.org" Subject: FLASH!!!
