Robyn and the Flaming Lips are playing *two* dates in Michigan!! Yay!!! The Lips put on the best live show I've ever seen. The crowd was real small so we all got to go right up to the stage. There were Christmas lights and the bubble machine and the guitarist made a wonderfully horrendous noise with something that looked like an electric razor. Afterwards my friend and I were talking to Wayne Coyne and he said he liked to sit on his roof and let the bubble machine spew bubbles over the whole neighborhood. "Doesn't that bug your neighbors?" we asked. "Nah, they don't mind, they know I'm in a band," he replied. My radio show went rather crappily today. Things kept breaking down and I was disappointed by a lot of the music I played (I have to start previewing things before I play them). But a track off the new Apples in Stereo EP made me dance foolishly around the studio, and I re-discovered the greatness of X. On the way home, I flipped out because a commercial station was playing "Greenman." I thought maybe inexplicably it had made their regular playlist.

KEN "Hindustani without an accent" THE KENSTER http://leb.net/iac/ http://www.beograd.com The world today has a major problem. That problem has a name. The name is not Milosevic, he is the small town villain. The name of the problem is United States of America. Their sense of exceptionalism, being above ordinary states and nations, is attractive. To break that many international law paragraphs can only be justified if you are above the law, in a direct relation to a God of the universe who "created America to bring order to the world" (Colin Powell) or, in more secular terms, "a global nation with global interests" (Shalikashvili).

Anyone interested >can get me off-list. Speaking of "golden throats," I found out yesterday that there's a new Mrs. Miller compilation on Capitol! Whoa! I gotta get me one of those! I just saw the Tom Waits/Storytellers special...very good, but a mild letdown for me. I wanted more musicians onstage making oogly noise, and a range of material beyond ballads. I thought he came off a bit listless. Meanwhile, I was once again baffled by his bizarre stiff-fingered piano technique...jeez, the first thing you hear when you learn piano is "Keep your fingers curled!" Heh. Ehh, he probably never had any lessons anyway.... Speaking of key-tinklin' songwriters, the new Randy Newman album Bad Love is quite a bit better than I expected it to be. Great stuff! Best disc I've heard this year, after XTC and Waits. I was actually ranking it above XTC through much of the album, but a couple of kinda banal love ballads near the end took some wind out of its sails. But it's damn good -- there's less of those "typical Randy Newman chords" that he recycles whenever he writes a film theme, and most of the lyrics are very, very resonant and multi-layered. And it doesn't have that stale session-guy musical texture that so many of his other later records have. His best release since Sail Away? Just mebbe. I dig it. And so does LJ. So there.

Hey all, Well, the Saturday night Storefront Hitchcock showing over in Orlando went superbly. My wife and I tooled over with 5 friends and got well primed for the midnight extravaganza. I ran into Robert Joseffer and his buddy (sometime fegs from down around Ft. Lauderdale that I met a few years back at the last Atlanta gigs)...they'd checked woj's site, saw the info, and made the drive up. Anyway, my take on the film...just damn fine. After reading one too many "eh's" here on the list, I went in prepared for something mediocre and was pleasantly surprised at how well I think it came off. Many have commented on Robyn's apparent unease in front of the camera, which certainly was evident through the first third of the film, but I think it was left in by an astute Demme to contrast (or show the progression or whatever) with Robyn's direct eye-contact with the film-goer later in the excellent You & Oblivion and Airscape segments. Robyn seems to mature on-film, through a scant 77 minutes, from a shy, awkward daytime nobody performer to a grand introspective nighttime dreamer at the end. Demme's focus on Robyn's fretwork and strumming was masterful and, as a psuedo-guitarist myself, I relished being able to see clearly what Robyn was doing. So, sure, it's just a little concert film-thingie, but a really good one. And you know, I do think it had the air of "film" to it, not just a rock "video" release. The set changes worked very well I thought, setting the moods for the songs (the single lightbulb You & Oblivion was stunning, as was the mirror ball Airscape). The afternoon storefront scenes were cool, but I'm glad they didn't fill the whole movie, because they did seem to get tiring and distracting after a while. The final Alright, Yeah with Tim was good and a nice change of pace...well-done harmonies and all. Even the closing credits were nicely done, with the splitscreen rendition of Guildford. No, about editing. The changes between film rolls (was that what it was?) were sloppy, but that could have been the theatre's fault. I did note the glaring omission of the "Fuck ass Rock'n'Roll!" line from the "What was the kindly lady made of?" bit (check the lp if you haven't heard this). I think leaving that in would have worked really well, sorta breaking the movie into the acoustic vs. electric bits. Ah well. The song choices were definitely "of the period" and I have a nagging suspicion that they won't do much to bring in new fans (that is, if anyone ever actually watches this movie). I would have yanked The Yip Song, and maybe I'm Only You, and tossed in one or two older, more openly humorous cuts...maybe a My Wife & My Dead Wife, or something. What I really relished was listening to the audience, and hearing the occasional chuckles and laughs from an audience that appeared to be only about 50% Robyn fans. There was a wonderful mix of people, from a few teenagers to a wide swath of the late 20's/early 30's crowd, to a marked group of older couples, 40's, 50's and even 60's. I sure some of these were just Film Festival diehards, seeing any and every movie that comes along in the next two weeks. But it was cool, cause some of these oldsters were the ones chuckling and really enjoying the show. My friends, three who knew Robyn slightly and two non-initiates (so far) seemed to enjoy it as well. Anyway, I was, and am quite happy with it. Mark me down in the thumbs-up category. Thanks for listenin' Mike n.p. Michelle Shocked ;P (p.s.

Yes, it's true-- this album is AWESOME. I, too, am ranking it right up there with "Apple Venus" and "Mule Variations". What a wonderful world it is when my current Top Three list matches Eb's!!! (see goddamnit, I have bonafide good taste) TGQ likes this record too-- he is ranking it right up there with Styx's "Grand Illusion" and " [What's the Story] Morning Glory"! Most all of the songs are catchy and have lots of ragtimey piano. There are some truly heartbreaking ballads on it, sung in his heartbreakingly craggy voice, and yes, I'll agree, a couple of clinkers near the end. The ballads don't bother me as much as his more *show-tuney* songs-- he has a tendency to sound kind of like "The Music Man" gone very wrong-- but these things are a minor nuisance, all things considered. There's a song about Karl Marx, by the way, Eddie... The real highlight of this album is the song "Shame" which is RN at his swaggering best-- lampooning rich, powerful, and oversexed pathetic old men: "Do you know what it feels like to wake up in the morning Have every joint in your body aching, God damn it? You know what it feels like To have to get up in the middle of the night and sit down to take a piss? You do know? So you say I have my doubts, Missy Do you know what it feels like To have to beg a little bum like you for love? God damn it you little bitch, I'd kill you if I didn't love you so much." Hey, and Pete Thomas is the drummer! anyhow, there's my .02 too... the new Ron Sexsmith album is pretty good too, by the way.

Second, I don't like the way it's being handled. Remember when Glass Flesh was a whole bunch of tapes that just sort of got put out whenever there were enough tracks in the right hands? And the CD was sort of a "Best of" compilation that would be nice and archived and pretty? Why aren't we doing that anymore? Except now we can just have a website of MP3s and the occassionally treed tape of material when enough new stuff accumulates? Then we can make a real CD and someone can take a financial bath on a nice pretty version at some later date. That's what I say we do. It's the smartest. No deadlines, no signing up for tracks, no hassles. Keep it fun and keep it open.

I say we caravan to Seattle after work on Friday, see the show. Do the Seattle thing all day Saturday, see the show. Drive to P-town the next day, see the show! Who's with me! (Hopefully somebody with a car.) Supposing this monkey could take half a day off work and take the train...
