First impressions: A little disappointed because it is certainly more commercial than the earlier releases, and the production is much slicker. With bassist/keyboardist Paul Kimble no longer present in the band nor in the production (nor anywhere else on the sleeve notes for that matter) -- now produced by a Paul Fox (who is this?) -- most of it lacks that homey, nitty-gritty sound that drew me to GLB in the first place. On the positive side, Grant Lee Phillips shows he has really further matured as a guitarist. One of my fave cuts so far is "My, My, My" with RH on harmonica and additional vocals -- it follows much more in the vein of GLB's earlier stuff, and i've never heard RH wail on the harmonica from the gut as he does on this rocker. Actually about 1/2 the cuts will please old GLB fans including "Everybody Needs a Little Sanctuary" with Michael Stipes adding some vocals. The only other cut with RH making an appearance with background vocals is "The Shallow End" -- for me, an overly-produced pedal steel ballad, and you have to stretch your imagination quite a bit to note RH's presence on it anywhere. All and all, it deserves my further listening, but hasn't hooked me like the earlier material. cheers, nur ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jun 1998 16:20:46 -0700 From: Jason Thornton Subject: Re: dylan and more dylan At 05:33 PM 6/10/98 -0500, sdodge@midway.uchicago.edu (amadain) wrote: >>(And I may be defensive, but it seems like "Xian" is one of those words >>that's usually written with a fair bit of derision. > >Do you feel the same way about "Xmas"?

I don't know that the violin is being played well, but I love it just the same! It's got a great gypsy flavor to it. And Emmylou Harris' supporting vocals are wonderful. And, of course, the songs are great -- incredibly rich and colorful stories. But, at times, a fairly intense album. "Blonde on Blonde" is fantastic. . . I don't care what the rest o' ya say! Every song is just great. Definitely one of his most light-hearted, fun and surreal albums. Probably the first I'd recommend to a Robyn fan, especially considering it's got Robyn's favorite song on it, "Visions of Johanna." Those would be my two picks, although he's got a lot of great stuff.

Is this the Tim Keegan song? It's a stretch, but the title's the same and I could imagine it done with a pedal steel. It's kind of ballady. I remember Tim prefaced this with a little description of the town in which he grew up where the pool had two shallow ends. I think I've only heard the song that once. I seem to remember it being about loss and not going home again, but I could be wrong. Carole? Karen?

I don't mean to growl but......before you count me as totally against religious music please read the rest of my post :). Wot I sed was: religious music can be good, bad, or mediocre, or anything else, depending on the talents of the creators thereof. The Dylan records, despite his fervor, are aside from a few standouts, mediocre. He did not have a talent for this music. And also note that Bob Dylan's religious beliefs at the time were intrusively evangelical in nature. He was associated with Jews for Jesus, which is -rabidly- evangelical in mindset. Consequently, this music bears that taint for me and perhaps does for others as well. If you had grown up around evangelicals of the more persistent stripe or been around one for a significant length of time you'd understand how one could grow to dislike anything even vaguely associated with these beliefs. I should add that not all evangelical Christians are like this. But those who feel they must be in your face constantly (perhaps the thinking is that eventually you will convert in order to make them go away, I don't know) are VERY ANNOYING and Bob D. was this type for awhile and I do not like them, Sam I am.

That's "X" as in Xristos, I believe. (The "x" is that Russian x/Scottish ch/Spanish j sound that you don't get in English.) The generally accepted Anglicization is "Christ". I was just concerned because some people use "Xian" as a perjorative, (or at least several people who view Christianity perjoratively use "Xian" as a term for them.)

To 'bible-bash' means to preach uncontrollably about matters religious to people who are not really interested. Door-to-door JWs are Bible-bashers. This is as opposed to those who hold deeply felt beliefs but don't go out of their way to try to convert or preach - a far more enjoyable brand of Christian (of which I believe there are several on the list - Terrence?) During the late 70s and early 80s, three or four Dylan albums were marked by his newly-found born-again beliefs (from about Saved to Infidels). I don't know whether he's 'lapsed', but his more recent stuff is back to his old elliptically-spiritual-without-ramming-it-down-your-throat philosophy of life.

The generally accepted Anglicization is "Christ". It's actually just the Greek letter X or Chi, which actually works well with the whole cross theme. The New Testament was originally written in Greek, so our usage is just a translation. So from Xpistos (sorry, but my e-mail switches it back to English) -- Chi, Rho, Iota, Sigma, Tau, Omicron, Sigma -- we get Christ. The same goes for Jesus, the books of the Bible, etc. > I was just concerned because some people use "Xian" as a perjorative, (or > at least several people who view Christianity perjoratively use "Xian" as > a term for them.) Sorry for drawing the wrong conclusions. I think it was this idea that Xmas is taking the Christ out of Christmas. Still, I abbreviate it all the time. In case anyone cares, I think Dylan's evangelical period is probably his weakest. He didn't seem to present the fragile nature of life with his usual brilliance. There are, however, great songs and hymns out there that present the suffering side of Christianity -- even some of the Beach Boys'. - -Andy ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jun 1998 01:30:22 -0700 From: Mark_Gloster@3com.com Subject: Robyn Hitchcock...

He's a deadhead who also likes Peter Buck and REM, so I thought the song would have all the right elements. Surprisingly, he liked it! (I say surprisingly because, although Jason is one of the best drummers I've ever heard, he has absolutely horrible taste in music). I ended giving him my vinyl copy of _Globe Of Frogs_ and he *still* raves about "Chinese Bones", "The Shapes Between Us Turn Into Animals", and "Flesh Number One" Just goes to show...there's an RH song to suit anyone's taste! - -g- - ----------==========**********O**********==========--------- Glen Uber Email: uberg@sonic.net ICQ UIN: 13311304 Web: http://www.sonic.net/~uberg "Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible." --Frank Zappa - ----------==========**********O**********==========--------- ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V7 #219 *******************************
