I'M DONE!!! After having survived my last exam ever, I am now officially done with college and academia and I'm never going near the stuff again. Yay!!! To celebrate I went to Boston with Valerie and a few others and was proud to sit in the right-field bleachers at Fenway Park, watching Roger Clemens shut out California 3-0. (Sorry, Val. ;>) (Also sorry, Sue and Greg- I went literally on five minutes' notice and didn'thave a chance to let anyone know I was coming...) Tomorrow is 10,000 Maniacs in Danbury- ah, life without classes or homework is grand. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) Anyway, to the replies! kIrI writes: > Anyway I was >thoroughly impressed with Tori's live performance...but Happy still beats >her by a landslide ;) Um, well, I was impressed by both, but to be honest I'd have to say that as far as affecting me emotionally and not allowing me to do anything but sit motionless enraptured by the music and not realize that time is going by at all, never mind that there are other people in the room, Tori wins by the landslide. As far as wonderful music and great fun, Happy wins it there. I don't think comparisons should be made between their live performances, as their styles are night and day. Mitch proposes: > It has occurred to me (as do all too many things these days, I'm sure many >of you are thinking by now :-) ) that if my idea for display advertising in the >Zine for ecto products ever gets off the ground (in theory, I should have an >aptitude for copywriting in this connection, but nothing of the sort seems to >occur to me in the short run, which should be reassurance in its own right that >not _everything_ occurs to me :-) ), the logical next step would be _faux_ >radio commercials for said wares.

That would be fun, but don't try to broadcast it- "War of the Worlds"-esque pranks on the airwaves are now quite illegal, and I would imagine that would go for fake commercials as well...

If you thought Annie Lennox's performance on Saturday Night Live sucked, then you were right. If you let this unfortunate event stop you from enjoying her new solo album 'Diva', then you are making a mistake. I didn't post about this earlier because I hadn't had the chance to let myself listen to it. I used it as background music for cooking and washing dishes all last week, and thought it was insignificant. But, last night and this morning it occured to me that this was a really good album. Let me start from the opening song 'Why' which got crucified in the SNL performance, apparently by the lack of a good supporting band, since if I remember correctly Annie was backed by the house band. The song is simply beautiful and quite haunting. 'I may be mad, I may be blind, I may be viciously unkind, But I can still read what you're thinking' she sings with full passion and full restrain. There are other alienation songs on this album. 'Legend in my living room' may strike a familiar note with ectophiles who are intrigued by the Hap-ster who is a 'Legend in her own mind' :). This is a really heartfelt song (could be autobiographical?) with lines like 'I've shed my tears in bitter drops until the thorn trees bloomed to take the spiky fruit to crown myself the Queen of doom' that may sound corny but sound like they are coming from within her soul. The album isn't all doom and gloom though. She siongs a couple of songs to/about her newborn daughter, and even has some 'bitchy' songs, with 'Money can't buy it' being the prime example. The album closes with a CD-only track called 'Keep young and beautiful', which is a playful rendition of a (I would think) old 20's song, and it is recorded to sound like one, with noise to simulate the scratched on the 78rpm record, and all that. It is a perfect closure to a fine solo debut by one of the most talented and vocally gifted singers around. Go Annie, Go! If she keeps releasing albums as good as this one, the eurythmics will not be missed by me. It is true that some of the bizzare elements that made the eurythmics unique musically were 100% due to Dave Stewart's production skills, but the soul of the eurythmics was Annie Lennox, and I would rather have music that isn;t groundbreaking but has soul, than soulless and bland experiments. I can't wait to see her live again.
