He hasn't released an album of new material since 1987's "Cloud Nine." Since then, he's produced an album for Ravi Shankar; done two albums with the Traveling Wilburys; done two new tracks with the other surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr; and gone on a brief tour backed by Eric Clapton and his band (documented on the 1992 album "Live In Japan"). But, according to Billboard, Harrison is now looking to return to making new music. Harrison is currently finishing a new album and considering a deal with a major label. Also in the works is a boxed set of outtakes and previously unreleased recordings. Harrison also revealed that his entire Dark Horse/Warner Brothers catalog has reverted back to him, including 1976's "33 1/3," 1979's "George Harrison," 1981's "Somewhere In England" and 1987's "Cloud Nine," as well as the two Traveling Wilburys albums. Harrison is thinking about re-releasing the albums with bonus tracks. Harrison's new album has been in the works for a long time. former Traffic drummer/singer Jim Capaldi said that he has helped out Harrison with the album, but the former Beatle doesn't work at a very fast pace. To Harrison, "working" on an album means a little bit of work, a lot of time off, and then some more work, he said. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 12:21:28 -0700 (PDT) From: g Subject: Re: Harrison On Tue, 15 Jun 1999, Joel Mullins wrote: >To Harrison, "working" on an album means a little bit of work, a lot of >time off, and then some more work, he said. > If only we all could have jobs with such a strenuous schedule...

I'm 6'4", size 13 or 14 shoe, but my hands are comparatively dainty. Then again, I've heard that physical laws actually favor stubby-fingered pianists.

As Susan said, it's an herb that may help with mild depression. I can't really add more than that, but I'm currently working as a transcriptionist at a mental health clinic, and there seems to be a great market for St. John's Wort in the endless supply of suicidal alcoholic crack addicts who refuse medication because they don't want to put artificial substances into their bodies. I'm not sure what I think of the mental health business. I don't think it's evil, like some do, but there are certainly some weird goings-on. Robyn Hitchcock has mentioned mental health on occasion. I prefer "judgement" to "judgment," and I dislike "oftentimes" because "often" by its very nature refers to time.

Track listing (I believe this has been posted somewhere already): 1. Mexican God 2. The Cheese Alarm 3. Viva! Sea-Tac 4. I Feel Beautiful 5. You've Got A Sweet Mouth On You Baby 6. Nasa Clapping 7. Sally Was A Legend 8. Antwoman 9. Elizabeth Jade 10. No, I Don't Remember Guildford 11. Dark Princess 12. Jewels For Sophia Of the 12 listed tracks I had heard six previously live. The other six were a real treat to hear for the first time. Especially enjoy "I Feel Beautiful" and "You've Got A Sweet Mouth On You Baby. I'm not going to review each song, but my overall first impression is that this is a solid representation of what he's been doing live for the last year or so. Production is minimal, many takes sound "live" (a la Neil Young's last few studio albums, ie. perfection was obviously not a reqirement and overdubs were kept to a minimum). I thought more could have been done with these songs--when I read about the lineup of musicians I envisioned another "Black Snake Diamond Role"--but I think we've got a pretty good Robyn Hitchcock record here, folks. Kimberley's presence isn't obvious until track six, which is as close to a Soft Boys tune as anything RH has recorded since BSDR (with the possible exception of "Zipper In My Spine"). That's all I'm going to say for now, except to note that the CD doesn't end with the title track. Won't divulge what follows 'cause you should have the chance to experience the pleasant surprise for yourself, but I will say that it includes one of his all time crowd favorites. Let me also add that while the album sounded pretty good the first time through, the second time through (yes, I'm a slow thought gathering typist) it sounds GREAT. - -rUss ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 15:15:21 +1200 From: digja611@student.otago.ac.nz (James Dignan) Subject: Re: Judgment >See, I would disagree.

Not even in Welsh. If you write judgment, you should also write refinment, nicness, hedgrow, homly, peacful, placmat, fencpost, namless, spadwork, palface, and scarcrow. We don't because the 'e' alters the sound of the letters before it (like in judgement). That much is logical and sensible. Judgment should, if it followed nice simplified rules for the language (as that objectionable crank Webster would have liked) be pronounced with a hard 'g' sound, as it is not followed by a vowel! The 'e' does have a purpose! Try saying it... As for silliness, business, tidiness, Inverness (no, hang on...), that is the standard way of forming words when a suffix starting with a consonant follows a root ending in -y.
