I would've thought that even if I hadn't seen this beforehand. Just on the first listen I can tell it's better than pretty much everything on _The Red Shoes_, so I'm encouraged. :) I may be totally mishearing the lyrics too, but am I on crack or has she gone and set _Citizen Kane_ to music?! In any case, new KaTe!! It's real!!! On November 7 there might just actually be a new album ...

Thanks for the heads up on Kate! I so enjoyed listening! Man, that voice!!! I SO look forward to November 8th! 48 days and counting :)) You're the best! ps. if anyone wants to fast forward the show (in 5 & 15 minute intervals) to get closer to the actual song, stop it at around 19.35 or so...

And I certainly listen to it more than _Lionheart_. Yeah, there are some...suboptimal tracks. But KaTe sets a high threshhold for the optimum! > I may be totally mishearing the lyrics too, but am I on crack or has she > gone and set _Citizen Kane_ to music?! Nope, it's not you...it's definitely a quick study of _Citizen Kane_ ("to a home filled with priceless junk", "in the snow with rosebud / and king of the mountain"). Not nearly as evocative as "The Sensual World", but one could argue it's got no more or less detail to it than "Wuthering Heights" had to its source material. jeff n.p. _Takk..._, sigur ros ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 14:20:28 -0400 From: meredith Subject: Re: King of the Mountain Hi, Jeffrey Burka wrote: > thanks. for more pleasant than sitting through real's buffering.

Not nearly as evocative as "The Sensual World", but one could argue it's got no more or less detail to it than "Wuthering Heights" had to its source material. The lyrics have been posted ... looks like _Citizen Kane_ isn't the only thing going on in the song. King of the Mountain Could you see the aisles of women? Could you see them screaming and weeping? Could you see the storm rising? Could you see the guy who was driving? Could you climb higher and higher? Could you climb right over the top? Why does a multi-millionaire Fill up his home with priceless junk? The wind is whistling The wind is whistling Through the house Elvis are you out there somewhere Looking like a happy man? In the snow with Rosebud And king of the mountain Another Hollywood waitress Is telling us she4s having your baby And there4s a rumour that you4re on ice And you will rise again someday And that there4s a photograph Where you4re dancing on your grave The wind is whistling The wind is whistling Through the house Elvis are you out there somewhere Looking like a happy man?

[...] Reading the lyrics, it seems like this is her "Sorry I've been gone so long...here's why I'm back" song. The references to Kane, who died alone, rich and miserable, and the Elvis mythos in which the King is still alive...out in the world and happy suggest that she's trying to find a middleground between the two. As Chris Gagnon puts it, "she's wrestling with the competing desires of private life of happiness and family fulfillment with the public life of artistic fulfillment." What a cool song. > Drawing by Bertie [!!!!] yeah, when I saw the web page vickie pointed to the other day, I immediately assumed it had been drawn by Bertie. > (interesting to see she's still working with Del ...) indeed. jeff n.p. _Plans_, Death Cab for Cutie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 12:19:32 -0700 (PDT) From: Ellen Rawson Subject: Karine Polwart tour People in the UK might want to check out Karine Polwart's webpage (www.karinepolwart) and click on gigs since Karine's going on tour again. (I tried copying the gig list, but it doesn't quite work.) I just booked tickets to see her at the Purcell Rooms, the same place where I met Jason last year and saw Karine, along with three other female performers. This time, it's just Karine.

So I have recently started listen to Podcasts. I've found several that I listen to on a weekly basis, but I'm looking for more to help me fill my work hours! Any suggestions? Some of my favs are: TWiT Radio Leo World Cafi NPR Story of the day NPR Music IndieFeed KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic Women In Music Diggnation I'd love to hear what everyone else is listening to!
