I'm of the belief that my music collection is the equivalent of my book collection in terms of its educational value... and I'll freely admit that I'm way more into my records than my books, because I feel they've taught me more for whatever reason [though I'm not intending to spark a thread about whether books or music are a more educational genre to the perceptive audience, since it's so subjective that it'd be impossible to resolve it anywhere near satisfyingly]; therefore, I'd want to share that knowledge with somebody who'd learn from it... I'd probably leave it to another musician, a teenager... I don't think I'd want the records to be sold or whatever, because these little discs are everything to me, and the acquisition of more and the creation of more is what I live for and what I'm utterly preoccupied by and obsessed with. But I'm also just 19, so there's no telling how my views on this will shift in a decade or so... Anyhow! In other news: I'm so fucking into the Mary Timony solo album that I'm going back and buying up all of the Helium records I can get my hands on, which is as of now exactly ONE, since I'm broke and Helium records apparently aren't the sorts of records that record stores in insignificant towns like Pensacola ("home" sweet "home") seem to be interested in stocking. I can't exactly get into why the Mary Timony album is so amazingly awesome to me... at least, not right now... perhaps one night when I'm so stoned I can't hardly move, I'll put the record on and completely get into the metaphysics of it on the list... but that also might be just WAY too incriminating... whatever. Another record I highly recommend is shannonwright (Shannon Wright)'s second album, _maps of tacit_... it's very angular strange dark songs, and it's actually similar in dissimilar ways to the Mary Timony album... but this album is only 35-ish minutes long and is a weird descent into self-induglent madness... she starts off quietly, with a pretty and fluttery acoustic guitar song and a quiet uneven Liz Phair-ish head voice and then ends it with a very weird downward progression and then the songs get progressively weirder and weirder and she unleashes this raw HOLLER that I totally wasn't expecting after hearing the first song... on track 7, "heavy crown", she literally SCREAMS and it sounds so broken and absolutely unglamorous and it CURLS MY TOES... Diamanda Galás is so much better at "screaming", but she's not really screaming, she's singing... Shannon actually IS screaming, she just lets out this throaty yell and she doesn't even hold it evenly the whole time, it quavers and cracks and then she just stops and plays little teensy teensy notes on her spooky keyboard. Amazing. And the next song is this minute-and-a-half long dark beautiful acoustic guitar ditty called "noise", and the contrast between the songs is jarring... to say the least. Anyhow. I'm outtie!

The Mediaeval Baebes were in town this weekend for the Vancouver Folk Festival. I wasn't able to make it, alas, but did get to meet Katharine Blake and Trevor Sharpe at a party afterwards. (the Baebes are signed to Nettwerk Management and Nettwerk America in the USA) I asked Katharine about MSG and she said there's a new album coming out. A "mysterious benefactor" provided the funding for them to make their first album in 5 years, so off they went.

Just a follow up on this thread, in case anyone has been sparked to doing some estate planning--if you plan to leave anything to any organization, local library, etc., talk to the organization beforehand and see what their donations acceptance policy is. The reason I say this is that you may end up leaving stuff to an organization that doesn't have a system set up to put your generocity to good use. For example, many people are tempted to leave their books to the local library, but many libraries end up rejecting those donations or simply putting the books in the 10 cent book sale bin b/c the library doesn't want older editions or pressings, or doesn't have the staff to incorporate collections into the catalog. Same with CD's--some libraries have policies against having pop/rock cds in the catalog and will lend only classical and opera, and maybe classic jazz.

Cut outs are deleted or overstock CDs that either the label is dumping to clear out warehouse space, or that the label isn't accepting for return and the distributor is dumping.

Really amazing music. It's unique, but to give a point of reference, to me it sounds like Iva Bittova meets Kate Bush. Jim says she sounds like early Lion and the Cobra-era Sinead O'Connor to him vocally. Whatever comparisons you can make, this is compelling, beautiful, experimental, and just plain lovely. The stuff of obsession. Some samples are available from her website, which you can get to eventually through http://www.jorane.com or more directly through http://www.tacca.com/jorane/index.html. It's a really wonderfully evocative disc, truly beautiful and fierce, though gentle at times, too. Highly, highly recommended. Sheila Nicholls, _brief strop_ Which is indeed stroppy kinda angry/wise woman-yelling/yearning at the world. I like her lyrics, too, except when she waxes too didactic (only in a couple of the songs). Pop/rock. You can get a sample from her web site if you sign up for her mailing list. Highly recommended, though I'm not sure it's something I'll listen to forever. Hand to Mouth, _weightless_ Their sound is smooth and kind of Joni-Mitchell jazz/folkie/pop. Lovely and creative enough to keep me listening, at least with _weightless_. I highly recommend that disc over their two previous discs, though, which while pretty didn't seem as distinctive and focused to me. This one is really gorgeous. Highly recommended. Ninetynine--ninetynine This is Ninetynine's first album, which I picked up because I liked _767_ so much. Also clearly indierock sound but quite different in sound now from her former bandmates, Sleater-Kinney. And worse, I'm not going to be any good at articulating that difference. Anyway, I like this quite a lot. Perhaps preferring _767_. But now she has yet another new one that I have on order...maybe by the time I have all three I'll be able to find some useful words about this. Recommended. Sleater-Kinney, _All Hands on the Bad One_ While I don't like this one as much as _The Hot Rocks_--it's got a much lighter feel--this is a lot of fun. Straightahead indie rock. Recommended. June Tabor, _A Quiet Eye While I love June Tabor's take on traditional material, her contemporary folk and jazzy things just leave me cold. In other words, I like part of this disc a lot, and the rest of it doesn't do much for me. Sigh. Only recommended for June Tabor fans, or someone like me who likes part of it enough to ignore the other part. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Neile Graham ...... http://www.sff.net/people/neile ....... neile@sff.net Les Semaines: A Weekly Journal . http://www.sff.net/people/neile/semaines The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music ....... http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2000 00:52:40 -0400 (EDT) From: tefinn@altavista.net Subject: Re: song lyrics!!! ---- you wrote: > Jeff, > > Your least favorite Happy lyric line is probably one of my least > favorite as well. > > Bill > > jjhanson@att.net wrote: > > > 1.
