You can't judge everyone who "follows" the Bible the same way, as there are going to be as many interpretations of what the Bible "teaches" as there are readers. Probably more. And, a lot of different people are going to be "claiming" to know what it "really" means. This comment was made in response to someone lumping all Marilyn Manson fans together as "negative" people. I was pointing out the invalidity of this sort of stereotyping by showing other situations where the same logic would apply. I was also pointing out that you can't blame Marilyn Manson any more, or any less, than you can blame the Bible for violence that occurs in America, 1999. It's the people interpreting, or misinterpreting, the works in question that are committing the violent acts. And, despite any "true Scotsman" arguments you or I or the abortion clinic bombers might make, the Bible DOES have some really violent parts in it. As violent as anything heard on a Marilyn Manson record. And, that's not necessarily a criticism. >*Anyone* can *say* *anything*.

I really like his first Yeah, I'm rather fond of "dear boy" and "Uncle Albert". The problem is that it sounds like the concept of the album is "This is what it'd sound like if I tried to write novelty hits but failed". If I wanted that, I'd put on a Roger Rusking Spear album and actually hear someone try to write novelty hits and fail.

Well, you made an obvious slip here: McCartney himself was on The Simpsons. So just cut the Frampton/Nilsson/Starr links. Of course, that way, you wouldn't have a chance to namedrop Harry Nilsson...again. Regarding Luna, seems logical to guess they'll land at Beggars Banquet in the States. That's their overseas label, right? It's not really working out for bands like Luna to be on major labels anymore, in this post-Cobain era. I'm just thinking about all the worthwhile "alternative" acts who have been dropped/have left major labels in recent years...the Posies, Shonen Knife, the Boo Radleys, Swervedriver, Mouse on Mars, 10000 Maniacs, Jane Siberry, Bob Mould, Super Furry Animals, the Velvet Crush, Frank Black, Tom Waits (!), XTC, the Jesus & Mary Chain, They Might Be Giants, the Muffs, Mark Eitzel, the Sugarplastic, Kristin Hersh, Swell, Love & Rockets, etc. etc. etc...just watch the dominoes tumble.

Any place with a decent-sized state fair (Shreveport, LA, or even Fairlea, WV) has more big-name acts in 10 days than you see in Nashville in a year. People here have to seem the same tastes -- no better, no worse -- than people just about anywhere in the US. That means, well, yes, El Gartho is big here, but also the same chart-topping stuff (Whitney Houston, whatever boy group is big with the teenyboppers this week, Dave Matthews Band, TLC, Sugar Ray, etc.) that you'd hear anywhere else. So it's not like country music is omnipresent around here. Hey, if "country music" meant BR5-49 and the Mavericks instead of Garth and Reba and three-named hat acts, it wouldn't be a problem for me if it was! On the non-country side of the alley, the local rock scene has recovered nicely from its 1992-1995 doldrums, and is now better than it's ever been - -- last compilation tape I made (for the Loud-Fans quarterly tape swap) had 14 of 22 songs by local artists and I wasn't even consciously trying to add local flavah. I'd put Fluid Ounces, Rebecca Stout, Josh Rouse, Kate Campbell, Tommy Womack, the Features, and the Shazam up against anyone else's local scene. Oh, and Eb, do you have the new Fluid Ounces yet? I can't make up my mind whether it or Wilco's SUMMERTEETH is the best '99 album I've heard so far, but they're definitely 1 and 1A right now... >PS Post what you think about the Dome albums, if you own 'em. I wouldn't recommend them to the non-Wire fan, but IMO if you want to understand how Wire1 (1977-1980) became Wire2 (1986-1992), they're essential (along with Colin Newman's '80s solo work and Bruce Gilbert's THIS WAY). The four Dome albums juxtapose erratic winding synth lines, rhythms ranging from jagged to non-existent, found-sound loops of odd noises and voices, amps buzzing, radio static, you name it. Sometimes it all coalesces, sometimes you're sitting there going "whathaheck wuzzat?" Of all the artists in my collection, Wire (together and, as with Dome, apart), R. Stevie Moore, and Scott Miller (he of Game Theory/Loud Family non-fame) have the greatest interest in and understanding of sound as *sound* per se -- and thus something that only sometimes encompasses music. In their Dome work, Lewis/Gilbert push the elastic line between sound and music, and sometimes push past it. It's not always listenable and it's not always fun, but it's consistently interesting.
