Yeah, I can't sleep. Mere words cannot express how much I loathe lastfm! For well over a year I've been trying to place Happy's music there. I can't even begin to calculate the amount of time I've wasted trying to upload her music there, but it never takes. Either it's the "wrong format" no matter how many times I re-rip and try again, or it seems to upload fine, but then the songs just disappear, as if I never uploaded them in the first place! I just tried again by putting 5 songs from Find Me there. They all seemed to upload just fine, but then I go into the Music Manager, and they're gone! The titles are there, but the songs aren't! The same thing happened with the videos I tried to upload. RAGEFURYKICK!!! I've placed Happy's music on over 30 sites. Lastfm is the ONLY one that's ever given me problems. Over and over and fucking OVER again! The next person who writes me and says "Hey, why don't you put Happy's music on lastfm?" had better catch me in a good mood, or else I'll explain in very colorful language why Happy's music isn't on lastfm. I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS!!!!!!!! GAH! Vickie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 05:16:29 -0800 (PST) From: "Xenu's Sister" Subject: Ok, it works!

(and Sergio G. Sánchez) Well, the rumour is on the BBC website. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7094467.stm They say the soundtrack is out next month. Maybe this sung will lure me to the cinema to see it. Don't get me wrong. I like Pullman. I like this series. I liked the theatrical version, done in two parts, at the National Theatre. I really liked how they handled the daemons on stage. And I don't mind that a different Bond (Craig Daniel) is in the film instead of the Bond (Timothy Dalton) that appeared in it on stage. But I just don't want Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter. Oh, please. I am not a fan of her work; she drove me mad as Virginia Woolf in 'The Hours', and it wasn't the fake nose that did it. *sigh* Ellen ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 19:49:10 +0000 From: jjhanson@att.net Subject: Jewel I know Jewel is pretty much considered passe by most of ecto at this point, but being an early advocate and a sustaining fan, I had to go see her last night when she played at Sandia Casino here in Albuquerque. It was a large crowd, the majority of which had never seen her (not sure if she's every played in Albuquerque before). I realized that it had been almost 10 years since I saw her play last--on the Spirit tour at the Minneapolis Orpheum. It was a solo performance--just her and her guitar. And I have to say she was as good as she has ever been. She covered a wide range of songs from all phases of her career--bringing lots of variation to each arrangement. Songs included (sorry--didn't keep track of entire set-list) Near You Always A Life Uncommon Violet Eyes Standing Still two new songs whose names I forget but that both sounded pretty good Two Become One - new country version to appear on new album A Stronger Woman in Me - kind of a woman-empowerment anthem slated for the new album (guessing at title) Foolish Games Catch a Cold You Were Meant for Me Who Will Save Your Soul Chime Bells (Yodel) I was also surprised that all the stories she told in between songs were new to me! She also seems to have managed the sarcastic/humor balance that I know in past shows has offended some.

Funny, but when I saw that casting I *knew* I had to see the film as close to opening day as possible. The whole time I was reading the books, for some reason I can't fathom the picture of Mrs. Coulter in my head was *exactly* as Kidman is portraying her. It was like Nicole Kidman was already playing the character in my brain. I haven't seen _The Hours_, but I thought her work in _The Others_ was really good. I think she'll do well in this role, too.
