So here's what's left: May 12: Minneapolis, Fox Theater & 7th St. Entry, with Of Montreal May 13: Chicago, Shuba's, with Of Montreal May 14: Columbus, location not known, with Of Montreal and Tiara May 15: NYC, Knitting Factory, with Of Montreal Well that cut down on my typing quite a bit :). These dates came from a Merge postcard and are likely subject to change. I saw them much earlier in their tour in Athens (April 17) with local bands Great Lakes and Of Montreal. A brief recollection of the show: I was disappointed that Great Lakes were still playing the same handful of tunes I heard them playing 3 years ago and they've still not recorded anything. Music as a hobby, I guess. They sounded promising 3 years ago. Then came Ladybug . . . now the first time I saw them they played in-between Rock-A-Teens and Superchunk. Needless to say, they were very much out of place and out of synch with most of the audience. Ok, back to the April 17 show: I was surprised to see them play *before* Of Montreal, btw. Local politics, I suppose ;) They sounded great live--a very full and clean sound, highlighted by Gary Olsens deep and smooth vocal delivery and nicely-toned trumpet playing. He has really chosen to highlight this Stephen Merritt-like vocal style over the years, which works well to my ears, but I do miss the relatively more gentle/sincere approach that he used on their first Merge record (Beverly Atonal--one of my favorites of that year). Arguments with their song selection aside, they played a strong set. Then came Of Montreal, a band I've always liked over the years. I don't know if they are just putting out too many records over too short of a time or if they are just running out of idears, but I did not like the sound of the Gay Parade tunes. If the song-writing isn't there, then no amount of costumes/jokery/cuteness is going to save you. That's it for now, Ken PS I've never heard anything about Neutral Milk Hotel breaking up, as is often asked about on this list. News like this would travel fast in Athens, so its safe to presume all's well with NMH. Btw, Jeff Mangum was at the Ladybug show and seemed to be enjoying himself. PPS I heard the first few new Luna tracks about a month ago and was really disappointed. I'm hoping it was just my mood or something. Then I read they included a cover of a Guns-n-Roses track on the new disc. Please say it ain't so! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 May 1999 14:29:22 PDT From: "Capitalism Blows" Subject: US shuts down Yugoslav Internet Dear sirs, We have reliable information that the US Government ordered Loral Orion company to shut down its satellite feeds for Internet customers in Yugoslavia. This action might be taken as soon as later tonight or tomorrow (May 12 or 13, 1999). This is a flagrant violation of commercial contracts with Yugoslav ISPs, as well as an attack on freedom of the Internet. A Web site in protest of these actions should be up shortly. We will supply you with the URL. In the meantime, please be so kind to inform as many people as possible about this tragic event for the Internet community in Yugoslavia and Europe.

It features the lead-off single, "Spit on a Stranger," and three other album tracks. "Spit" is a mellow little track, just barely in a good mood, takin' a stroll around the block, spittin'. The next song, "The Hexx," is a dark, slow, Radioheadish (yes, this is an obvious comparison based on the album being produced by Nigel "Ok Computer" Godrich) song that makes me feel uncomfortable and paranoid . . . I like it! After flipping the tape over (which I almost forgot how t' do ;-)), we find ourselves in the midst of a "Folk Jam." It's a little hoaky (banjo and everything) and doesn't really seem to fit with the other material, but it's nice and upbeat. The last song, "Ann Don't Cry" (I think that's right) is somewhere in between the first two. That one hasn't really made much of an impression on me, actually. There are 6 other songs on the album. I have no idea what they sound like. But I'm going to harass . . . erm, call up Matador and see if they'll send me a full-length CD promo, then I'll let you know how the other 60% is. So far, though, I'd have to say that I'm not super impressed. Maybe "Ann" will be the least interesting song on the album and all the rest of the material will be really strong. On the other hand, maybe they're putting they're best foot forward and what remains will prove to be equally un-ear-catching. Hope not. I don't care whether or not Pavement returns to making albums that sound *like* "Slanted" and "Crooked," but I'd love it if they'd return to making albums that sounded as good as those earlier albums (even if it's a different *kind* of sound). Well, there're my 13 cents for y'all. Vive le Malkmus!

Well, I have no answers but some irritating remarks: David Lynch is a painter, not a novelist. This is a movie about mood and imagery. There is no right answer. Anything that would allow you to definitively construct a chronology has been removed or even deliberately contradicted. How many mysteries have intrigued you until you learned the tedious and pedestrian solution? This movie wants you to enjoy the mystery and come up with your own answers. In Twin Peaks, Lynch never intended to reveal Laura Palmer's killer, claiming it would ruin the show. But ABC demanded answers, like many viewers who were under the impression they were watching a whodunnit.

Sorry to burst your bubble Joel, but George Lucas is busy for the next six years. Here's the latest blurb from Coming Attractions: May 4, 1999... During last weekend's Star Wars Celebration, producer Rick McCallum answered a fan's question about the stuck-in-development-hell Indy 4 movie. McCallum said that there's a script that Lucas, Spielberg and Ford are all excited about but unfortunately McCallum can't see the start of the movie for at least another four to five years. [Submitted by Brian Calderwood and 'Spaceman Spiff'.] Still, I guess it's possible that Lucas might hand off production duties to someone else at LucasFilm. - - Steve _____________________ "Oh no!

For me, it was pretty painful to see all of the same idiotic cliches trotted out in the service of yet another teen sex spoof. (Almost typed "spooge" there -- how's that for appropriate?) One line from one of the great Simpsons episodes, to which Caddyshack has no reply: "Take that, Dean Bitterman!" Yet again the blinding light that is the Simpsons shows the folly of taking seriously the same old storyline templates. This time, it's the hackneyed Youngster(s) Cut Loose To The Dismay Of Establishment Types (tm) bit popularized by Animal House -- which means that Caddyshack's facile plotline was beaten nigh unto death, even in 1980. And yes, in spite of its tone as a spoof, it does take its free spirits vs. stodgy old folks theme completely seriously, without so much as a wink. Even as low-brow comedy, there are just too many long, long, loooonng dry spells where it's trying to make you give a shit about the pathetic protagonist. And, I don't know, there's only so much Rodney Dangerfield that I can take (though the spastic boogeying on the fairway was pretty amusing). On the other hand, Bill Murray and Chevy Chase made me laugh. And laugh hard, even, at times. Chase in particular does his best work outside of "Fletch" ("A flute without holes, is not a flute. A donut without a hole, is a danish."). Tell you what, on further consideration, I'll pump it up to a C+. But for me, surprise is more important than satisfaction in movies. We're really going to have to just have to live with disagreeing, here. Even if my opinion does place me squarely in the same camp as Dean Bitterman. - -Michael Wolfe P.S. - If I haven't just sacrificed all of my clout as a reviewer, let me just say that you should go see Election before it gets unfairly drummed out of theaters in a week or two.

Happiness my ass! Fucking sick is more >like it. I thought it was supposed to be a comedy. Well, it's pretty hard for me to see how you would think that, if you had read anything about it. Even the ads quoted reviewers saying things like "dark" and "painful", and it's not as though anyone thought Todd Solondz was the next Farelly Brothers. >if you think child molestation is funny. There are some humorous parts >but for the most part, this movie is just plain sickening. For the record, I feel very safe in saying that you are incorrect that this film was about making a joke out of child molestation. IMO you were supposed to see the painful humanity in that character and the desperation of his position. One thing all the characters had in common was a palpable desperation that was just horrifying, and the things that were humorous, for me anyway, were usually moments of flinching recognition of that pain. I think Solondz deliberately chose someone who was right off the bat something most people revile in order to make his point. We see that this is not just a monster, but also a human being with a family and a life and a -history-, someone you might actually know. There's not a human in this world that doesn't struggle with the harmful impulses inside them, or make destructively selfish choices, or act without compassion from time to time. And THAT was what I think you were supposed to see. Extreme cases were deliberately chosen, I think, in order to say something about the weakness and desperation in us all, and I think the film was trying to point the way to two basic questions: "What are the limits of compassion and understanding?" and "We talk about how far removed we are from these people, but there are things we have in common with them as fellow humans. It scares and disturbs us to have that shown to us- why?". I thought maybe a more accurate title would have been "Compassion", but you'd lose a little irony. Still, that's what I thought the film was really mainly about. Basically, I have a pretty similar take on it to the Kenster's, but wordier :). IIRC we both picked it as our favorite film of '98.

I didn't think the film was making a joke out of child molestation. And I agree that the way it made me feel was probably exactly the way it was supposed to make me feel. I was just expecting something very different when I rented it. I wasn't prepared for that kind of desperation and sickness. > IMO you were supposed to see the painful humanity in that character and the > desperation of his position.

It scares and disturbs us to have that shown to us- why?". Yeah, it really disturbed me. I had a hard time watching it when that kid spent the night. I almost turned it off. It was very unsettling. I didn't think the movie was gonna be like the Farelly brothers. But I thought it was gonna be a comedy. And not a really dark one. And I'm a firm believer in the idea that expectations have a lot to do with perception.

LOST HIGHWAY may be the best exemplar of this, with its Moebus strip of a storyline. I think it does have a story, just not one that plays by the rules of the waking world. The film forces the audience to do about 70% of the work, and (to take the original poster's point) its abstraction does allow for interpretation.
