I'll post them when I get them transcribed. Regarding the new album, I still think it's a clear step down from Author Unknown, though I like it better upon second/third listening (ehh...I'll give it a 14/20, but it's a weak 14/20). There are some great tracks ("Eloquence," "I Already Know," "The Plan," "Author Unknown"), but also some really sub-par ones (particularly "All God's Creatures" and "See You Again," the latter which -- no kidding -- reminds of me of lo-fi Neil Diamond). There's also an influx of tacky New Wave synthesizers on this album, which give the arrangements a more dated feel. Strange how this record is co-produced by Nigel Godrich (OK Computer), and yet sounds LESS produced than Falkner's debut. Oh well. It will flop just like the first one, of course. A darn shame. Falkner was a really frustrating interview, incidentally. He's one of those people who rambles for five or six minutes for each teensy question, so you only get through half your questions during the allotted timeslot. Blah. Oh, and I'm seeing him play tomorrow night, if anyone cares.

Wow! I totally did not read it that way. Allow me to respectfully disagree for a moment :). The way I read it is, the kind of teacher it is and the subject taught doesn't matter a'tall. It's corrupt authority that's being rebelled against. Said authority fails the kid because he either fought his advances or threatened to get him in trouble with higher-ups because of them, or simply just makes him feel guilty about what he's done by being a living daily reminder. Sort of a last act of spite. Either that, or the kid deliberately sets out to fail as an act of rebellion against the teacher- cutting off your nose to spite your face is pretty standard practice wrt teenage civil disobedience. Whatever. The subject mentioned could just as easily have been French, or Latin, or History IMO, the "war" in question was about abuse of power and control of one's own sexuality. The kid's first success with success would feel like a triumph over this abusive authority in any number of ways, not least because it was -wanted- sex, not molestation. If this is a kid who was constantly taunted for being a "fag" that would probably play some role in the utter joy of this first wanted sex as well. I don't really think it has anything to do with whether math or sex is more important :).

No no. But we'll move on from there. Note that my major comment was on the theme, which was wonderfully portrayed in the film. And yeah, any flick where the climax is a wrestling match between a copier repairman and a shipping clerk needs work (but blame Brin for that one). First of all, I was talking about context. The Postman failed utterly and Titanic made billions. That's horrid. Who CARES how humans might interact in a po-apo age? That's not the point at all. It's about how quickly everything can recover if we keep high speed communication alive. I think if you walked out, you missed the best part. You actually went to a film made based on a book you loved and walked out? I don't think I could ever do this. I mean, you go to the film KNOWING it's going to be butchered (it's not reasonable to put twenty hours of reading into two hours of flickerin' picks), but you stick it out to see what they thought was important and how they handle the ending. I mean, that's my motivation. > Read the book. Please. Eh. The theme is all that matters to me.

It's so rare that I come up with a hip little abbreviation like that that sticks. It just gets me all tingly inside :-) Thanks, Jeme and Carrie, for using my little word. Hey, Jeme (or anyone, really), are you familiar with an essay that Hoffstadter wrote for Scientific American (and which was a chapter in his book _Metamagical Themas_) about a concept called "memes"? The 'po-apo' thing made me think of it. it's the idea that ideas themselves are like genes in that are passed from one person's mind (a kind of "parent mind," I reckon) onto other minds (via some communication medium) and that they then can continue to evolve (or not). I think it's a neat concept. I like to imagine where concepts and ideas and sayings and words might have come from.

I just got the used copy of "Greatest Living Englishman" (Martin Newell w/ Andy Partridge) that I recently ordered. Great album! I think it would have a lot of appeal to those folks who particularly like "Element of Light" and "Globe of Frogs." Maybe it's just a time period thing, I don't know. Great pop tunes! And I'm now listening to Kristin Hersh's "Murder, Misery, and Then Goodnight." This was the one that was available for downloading from the 'net, right? Some rock journalist type (sheesh! ;-)) just sold in to my store what must be a promo copy of it (although it's not marked as such). Sounds really good so far. Cute picture on the inside of Kristin with her two kids (the former looking pretty darn sexy in a black tank top (I almost didn't bother putting in "the former," trusting that most of you wouldn't think me a pedophile (a nasty culprit of nested parenthesis, sure, but not a pedophile!))). Yeah, this is excellent. The arrangements are simple, yet interesting (weird percussive stuff going on on a couple of tracks). I think it shows the roots of what probably inspired a lot of "Hips & Makers," but it's not as dark.

Sorry, I can see how that wasn't especially clear. What I meant was that, because so many people are buying iMacs, more people will have the type of internet surfability and memory and all that is needed for the garnering of mp3's. So, I meant that this trend toward iMac buying might mean that mp3's could catch on faster than if people felt like they couldn't afford a decent computer.

Oh, now it kind of makes sense, in light of that. Maybe it could be saying that *he* was converted into a bomb, and is on the verge of explosion. In that case, it would make sense.

This is his ohhh-so-succinct answer. ;) "Well, I couldn't really be unhappy with it critically, because it did so well. I just found myself worrying about falling into that sort of Hitchcock, Himmelman, Chilton...the list goes on of people who continue to write songs that are critically lauded but commercially totally ignored. That was my biggest concern about the way the last album was promoted, and received. I was becoming a critic's darling, which is fun -- I'd certainly prefer reading nice reviews of my record than bad ones, you know? -- but at the same time, I don't think the music is beyond or below or sideways or anything from what people can get into, your average record-buying public. I have to constantly remind myself that my motivation honestly has never been to sell albums as a conscious thing. So I can't complain. Part of me can get really excited about the idea of being one of these peripheral guys that I've become, because those are all my heroes: Tom Verlaine, Robyn Hitchcock, Costello (who's not quite as peripheral as those other guys). So it's like I'm kinda turning into that of my generation. Which is interesting, because I always liked things that were a little bit outside and yet still had a lot of pop sensibility, but were also maybe offering a little bit more. Those records last a little longer. I still want to put on the first Soft Boys album. I still want to put on every single thing Elvis has done, with the exception of maybe two albums. You know? And XTC -- I mean, come on, those are like my gods. I was unhappy about how the record did, but I don't think that it was the record's fault. I think it was the music business' fault. And the lack of promotion, and the fact that I wasn't really funded to go out with a band. They would only pay for me to go out by myself, and I don't think that really represented the album I made. And all these things. The list goes on. But I'm happy with the album. There are things I would change about it now, because of course it has been a couple of years. But for the most part, I think it's an accurate time capsule of where my head was at, right then. And so that's all I can really hope to achieve. If I were a different kind of musician, I would maybe go in with the expressed purpose of creating a hit. But there's something about that which seems so contrived and so bandwagonesque. It's hard to do, to sort of second-guess what's gonna be acceptable on the radio by the time the record comes out, which is months after you're done anyway. I just can't understand that mentality. The reason I'm doing the records by myself, and the reason I'm mainly producing them by myself, is to be honest to myself and to get this stuff out there as close to how I'm hearing it as possible. I think it's quality music, and so if people come around to it, then they come around to it. If they don't, then I'm waiting for that call from Ryko in about 20 years. There'll be a guy saying, 'Why didn't anybody get into this guy? Oh, OK...well, let's do a little box set.' And then I'll be really bitter, and I'll write these liner notes that are scathing. I've got it all worked out, man. It's all plotted out." Whew.
