It's cool though.. >> It's not a "her", it's a band! Haha, I cannot believe I mispelled that! ;-) It's Hope Scandoval and David Roback, a songwriting team and musical soul-mates. They worked together in Opal. Roback's history in the avant garde underground goes way back. He played in Rain Parade (with his brother Steven Roback) and then Opal with Kendra Smith (ex-Dream Syndicate) back in the early 80's. When Smith left, Dave hooked up with Hope, who was a young up and coming indie singer back then. Together, they created Mazzy Star. There are other members of the band, (Will Cooper and Sulki Uers among them, both of whom played in Opal) but Roback and Scandoval are the core. They're both brilliant, brilliant musicians. Dave and Hope's music is fasinating. Mazzy Star is such an enigmatic band. One minute they'll be full throttle on a psychedelic guitar-rave down with Hope's voice whispering the fragile melody, then they'll collapse into a gorgeous, rootsy acoustic folk song. Dave is a great slide player, most likely one of the best of our time. Hope's voice is just purely gorgeous, she sounds like a dove crying off somewhere in the distance. She is amazing like that. One of the coolest things about Mazzy is the way they annoy the press. In interviews they are silent and strange, refusing to open up to reporters. This is frustrating as hell for mags like Melody Maker, because everyone respects Mazzy, and Hope and Dave don't respect the press, which is nightmarish for the publications. Haha, I love it! Nearly all of Mazzy Star's songs are written in the form of a man speaking to a woman, which is pretty darn different when you look at everything else. Dave and Hope are pretty much completely collaborative on both music and lyrics. Hope really acts as a story-teller in a way that is just so captivating. for more info, go to: http://www.chickpages.com/musicmania/themazzystar And that's why Mazzy Star rules, and Limp Bizkit sucks, haha. In all seriousness, I do love Mazzy, dearly. They are really a fantastic musical unit and it's wonderful to have them around to keep things on edge.

I need pure snow to cover all these bony fears in my head. The wind of my thoughts keeps sweeping them away like desert dust but they always come back and keep spinning in my mind like a tired cyclone of old regrets. I need a new dimension, a special world just for you and me. A tender abyss made of glances and caresses. No bridge to reality No tears to cry. Just you and i. ____________________________________________________ Sometimes i wish you were fresh air so that i could breathe you in amd see how it feels to have a little of your beauty inside of me. Sometimes i wish you were a star so that to see you i would just look at the sky and this distance would never make me cry. Sometimes i wish you were a flower so that i could caress your soft petals instead of crying reading your love letters. Sometimes i wish you were my teddy bear so that in my arms i could hold you tight and peacefully sleep with you every night. ------------------------------ End of eda-thoughts-digest V3 #198 **********************************
