Bah. Listen to DEVO (Especially the hardcore albums) On an entirely unrelated note, I think that Stevie Wonder is underappreciated on this list.

Don't assume such things. I think Stevie Wonder from "Music Of My Mind" through "Songs In The Key of Life" was brilliant. "Superwoman", "Living For The City", "You Haven't Done Nothin'","Higher Ground", "For Once In My Life", "My Cherie Amour","Superstition","You Are The Sunshine Of My Life", and my favorite SW instrumental "Contusion" (just to mention a few!).

I haven't heard anything he's done lately.

Oh...I meant connection in a stylistic sense, but yeah, that works. I mean, Stevie has never had a song that sounded remotely like Robyn or vice versa...(And I couldn't think of anyone who has songs which sound like both..) Any chance of getting a section listing everyone one (or two) link from Robyn on one of those Robyny webpages?

After hearing Glass Flesh, I thought it would be neat to hear original songs by those same artists. Then some artists who weren't on Glass Flesh contributed songs also. So in other words, Gloss Fish is a compilation of original material by artists who did and did not contribute to Glass Flesh. Contains original material by noted Feglisters: James Dignan Mark Gloster Kevin Slick Terrence Marks Dolph Chaney Dave Santos John Dunbar Mike Godwin David Snyder and many others. Consists of 3 90-minute tapes. If you want a copy, email me and I'll fit you into the tape tree.

I used the word erotic rather than the word sexual for a reason. I don't use one as a euphemism for the other, generally :). The world is full of "I want your body" "Rock me all night" kind of songs. Certainly there are numerous folks who outrank Robyn in this department. But I was referring to actually what I perceive as a more adult treatment of sexuality, of exploring eroticism in multi-faceted and even *gasp* emotional ways, which is very -uncommon-. Most songwriters can't/won't touch that. You get the impression with most (judging from their lyrics) that their entire sexual life is about random bursts of lusts, and that love is a completely separate entity from sexuality. Most of us have a slightly more complex experience :), and Robyn is one of the few writers that acknowledges that and tries to write about it.

Rats! I leave you with these pearls of wisdom from D Witney Quinns post. If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink.
